This year I was sick from early January to mid April with a bug my partner caught babysitting his sick little grandson and gave to me. I think it may have been RSV, I had a severe cough, and one episode of fever. Early March I decided to sniff some Tea Tree Oil, hoping to clear my sinuses a bid. To my surprise, absolutely no smell at all. If you don’t know this oil, it is strong like VIcks Vaporub. I had been taking 500 mg. of Quercetin a day and 50 mg. of Zinc to help prevent getting Covid. I realized that if I had a virus illness, my body was probably already using a lot of zinc to try to fight my illness. I immediately increased from 50 mg zinc to 150 mg. a day of zinc. In 5 days my sense of smell returned.
For Covid Dr. Zelenko was recommending 250 mg. a day of zinc along with some ionophore like HCQ or Quercetin to help the zinc get into infected cells to stop the Covid virus from reproducing. Later I did research on Cancer and found a study reporting that nine major cancers ALL were DEFICIENT in zinc in the cancerous tissue, even if the surrounding normal tissue was well supplied with zinc. One of the authors of this study courageously suggested that perhaps they should try giving an ionophore and zinc to people with cancer and see if it helped. So I think adequate zinc is well worth trying no matter what the cause of loss of smell has comefrom. Amounts of zinc up to 250 mg. a day for a week have been suggested along with an ionophore to treat Covid, so I think that should be safe for most people. Check with your doctor, however, especially if you have an underlying illness that could cause danger like heart disease.
I April 2020 I first heard about Dr. Zelenko’s idea of using an ionophore like HCQ to help more zinc get into virus infected cells. I had also heard about the loss of smell and taste experienced by Covid sufferers. In June 2020, I Googled “causes of loss of taste and smell” and one of the answers was zinc deficiency. Our idiotic lock-stepping doctors still don’t seem to know that zinc is an easy way to regain taste and smell. Don’t they learn to think in Medical School, or do they all do what Dr. Fauci tells them, that for instance Vitamins C and D are no help for preventing Covid. He said that in spring 2020, but had to admit his mistake in November of 2020.
“Did anyone ever get Short Covid ???”
We have no idea how many people had Covid and never showed any symptoms. Remember the word “asymptomatic” being thrown around? I guess that would be short covid.
They use SG injections to treat PTSD in vets.

HA! I wish! I’ve had Long Covid since mid 2022, and it doesn’t show any inkling of leaving any time soon.
I wish more studies and research would be done to treat more of the CAUSES of Long Covid. I would love it if a cure for insomnia, chronic fatigue, nausea and dizziness/foggy brain would be found.
The best approach to reduce one’s long COVID risk is to get rid of all metabolic disorders, largely all based in bad blood glucose/insulin use. Fatty liver, weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. basically stem from eating more than we could adequately burn off in tine for our bodies to not become endemically dysfunctional. The root cause is “us.”
People who are fit had a much lower likelihood of getting long COVID.
Basically, their body’s systems worked through it, much better, according to studies I’ve seen.
Every day is different. We have good days, some not so good days, some bad days, and some really bad days, and we never know what kind of day it's gonna be until we wake up and start the day.
So anything, that is medical viable of course, that can be done to alleviate what Covid did our bodies would be welcomed. Long and short, the Chinese government took away my retirement, I would like to have it back.
