Ivermectin is available on Amazon or anywhere that you can find horse supplies. We get the paste from our vet but I’ve ordered it on Amazon too. I also take zinc, vitamin C and quercetin.

“low-dose lithium”

Interesting. That’s the first I’ve heard of low dose lithium being used for covid, although I can kind of see the rationale of why it might be useful for brain fog. It has some neuro-protective properties.

“hydroxychloroquine (generally unavailable because prescription only)”

There’s places you can get it now but there’s also an easy alternative - cinchona bark extract which is quinine and which will serve the same purpose as hydroxychloroquine.

If you learn how to buy from India, you can get IMV, HCQ, and antibiotics without Rx.

I highly recommend that if you happen to catch Covid, avoid this unscientific and untested "protocol."

Of course, Dr. Z was able to claim that he only saw one death among 7,000 patients. That's because the patients following his "protocol" whose illness got worse ended up in the hospital and were no longer his patients.

There are only two ways to prevent catching a viral disease. One way is to completely avoid exposure. If the virus spreads through the respiratory route, the only surefire way to avoid exposure is to stay indoors where all the air is filtered. The other way is to get vaccinated. This way depends on how well your immune system functions (if you have a disease that impairs immune function, you won't be as protected), but it gives you a great deal of freedom as compared to remaining in isolation.

Quercetin and (hydroxy)chloroquine are not interchangeable. They each interact with different proteins in the body and they have different structures:

Structure of (H)Cl. The addition of oxygen on the end (the "hydroxy" addition) makes the molecule more water soluble.

Structure of quercetin.

They simply are not the same or even similar.

The graphic claims that zinc cannot get into cells. This is completely untrue. There is an entire class of proteins called "zinc finger proteins" that interact with DNA. How would those proteins exist if zinc does not enter cells? In the real world, where scientists live, any substance that increases the uptake of zinc into cells would be a serious toxicity concern. No scientist would make such a recommendation without a serious body of evidence to support it.

As for antiviral properties of quercetin plus vitamin C, I found this one paper: Quercetin and Vitamin C: An Experimental, Synergistic Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Related Disease (COVID-19). (www.pubmed.gov search conducting using term "quercetin AND vitamin c viral.") Judging by the fact that this paper is only a review--meaning that its purpose is to summarize a body of research on the subject--and there are no follow-on study publications, I surmise two things. One, that this review was written in conjunction with a research grant application for pre-clinical studies. Two, that in vitro and in vivo (animal) studies did not pan out. I would never suggest a human treatment protocol based only on a literature review without extensive studies to back it up.

The recommendation of 5,000 U of vitamin D per day is excessive. Since vitamin D is fat soluble, excesses are not eliminated rapidly. Taking that much vitamin D can lead to the buildup of toxic quantities of vitamin D in the body. The safest way to take vitamin D is on the advice of your doctor who tells you an appropriate dose based on your serum levels. It's not safe to take mega doses of vitamin D (or anything else) just because you read something on the internet or saw it in some "health guru" book.

Finally, I will say that I commend the addition of a warning to dilute the hydrogen peroxide. I would never use H2O2 for anything except topical use; I don't want to breathe any more of it than I am exposed to when I open the H2O2 bottle. H2O2 is an oxidant with broad antimicrobial properties due to its toxicity.

Had ‘virus syndrome’ for 2 weeks. Miserable.

Ingested about 1.5 inches of 1.87% ivermectin horse paste out of desperation. After 24 hours, 98% feeling better. Thats my experience.

[imardmd1]

I have taken the recommended daily dosage pf quercetin (500 mg), vitamin C (1400 mg), zinc gluconate (calculated as 50 mg of zinc oxide), vitamin DDDD3 (4,000 i. u.) since April, 2020 relying on an earlier set of paper before these, which are a bit better done and written than the not-incorrect but poorly polished Zelenko ones. I have never permitted myself to be "vaccinated" for COVID-19 or any other ones in the years of my life, before or after.

Here are a couple of the very precise references, out of many others since the onset of the virus:

Abstract
========

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) represents an emergent global threat which is straining worldwide healthcare capacity. As of May 27th, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has resulted in more than 340,000 deaths worldwide, with 100,000 deaths in the US alone. It is imperative to study and develop pharmacological treatments suitable for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Ascorbic acid is a crucial vitamin necessary for the correct functioning of the immune system. It plays a role in stress response and has shown promising results when administered to the critically ill. Quercetin is a well-known flavonoid whose antiviral properties have been investigated in numerous studies. There is evidence that vitamin C and quercetin co-administration exerts a synergistic antiviral action due to overlapping antiviral and immunomodulatory properties and the capacity of ascorbate to recycle quercetin, increasing its efficacy. Safe, cheap interventions which have a sound biological rationale should be prioritized for experimental use in the current context of a global health pandemic. We present the current evidence for the use of vitamin C and quercetin both for prophylaxis in high-risk populations and for the treatment of COVID-19 patients as an adjunct to promising pharmacological agents such as Remdesivir or convalescent plasma.

Abstract
=========

Objectives and Setting.
As the lethal COVID-19 pandemic enters its second year, the need for effective modalities of alleviation remains urgent. This includes modalities that can readily be used by the public to reduce disease spread and severity. Such preventive measures and early-stage treatments may temper the immediacy of demand for advanced anti-COVID measures (drugs, antibodies, vaccines) and help relieve strain also on other health system resources.

Design and Participants.
We present results of a clinical study with a multi-component OTC “core formulation” regimen used in a multiply exposed adult population. Analysis of clinical outcome data from our sample of over 100 subjects − comprised of roughly equal sized regimen-compliant (test) and non-compliant (control) groups meeting equivalent inclusion criteria − demonstrates a strong statistical significance in favor of use of the core formulations.

Results.
While both groups were moderate in size, the difference between them in outcomes over the 20-week study period was large and stark: Just under 4% of the compliant test group presented flu-like symptoms, but none of the test group was COVID-positive; whereas 20% of the non-compliant control group presented flu-like symptoms, three-quarters of whom (15% overall of the control group) were COVID-positive.

Conclusions.
Offering a low cost, readily implemented anti-viral approach, the study regimen may serve, at the least, as a stopgap modality and, perhaps, as a useful tool in combatting the pandemic.

My experience has been that once I contracted the virus unbeknowingly from a close friend who was giving me transportation, for which the effects lasted only two and a half days, with no other aftereffects. Otherwise, no other incidents or symptoms characteristic of COVID-19.

If you choose to use azithromycin, be very sure that you don't have a heart arrhythmia. My oldest son had 4 open heart surgeries, 2 artificial valves and a pacemaker. Azithromycin causes elongation of the QT interval (interval between heart beats). Taken to the limit, that QT elongation results in cardiac death. Vanderbilt University published a paper detailing cardiac death in 238 cases where azithromycin was prescribed. It was published a mere 5 hours after my son passed.

I have both Ivermectin and HCQ that I bought from India.
I found a great resource for both and more.

The first time we got covid we used Quercetin, zinc, C, D, and my own anti-viral herb tinctures and anti-microbial herb blend. Being an herbalist, I have a lot of stuff on hand. Our sickness was very mild, lasted less than a week, with few sequelae. Covid was weird; had odd neurological effects, since it was a bio-weapon, not a naturally occurring virus.
