[Secret Agent Man]

[Bob434]

[[I can’t take the melatonin, it zonks me out...]]

I wish it did me- Tried it for sleep- didn’t work well- then read up that it could make bleeding conditions worse- so i had to stop taking it-

[Secret Agent Man]

you could also take green tea capsules

[spacejunkie2001]

lol.

yes, glycinate which I recommend, is the same as bisglycinate. Get the brand Vital which is glycinate and malate. You’ll want to build your dose to 6-8 per day, taking only 2 at a time. So, breakfast, lunch and then dinner and/or bedtime

It’s a wonder supplement

If you have prostate problems (such as chronic prostatitis) querictin is your friend. I take 2 a day, and take a clear liquid zinc sulfate solution (also good for the prostate). It has no taste, unlike the tablets that leave a metallic aftertaste and dull your tastebuds.

EGCG has caffeine, so you may not want take it at night. I take it in the morning and quercetin at night. It seems from all the studies I read, EGCG is more powerful. Here are some links:

I take this brand. I specifically use this because it says it is more bioactive (greater absorption). I generally take one a day, two if I think it's helping me during fall allergy season.

[Bob434]

Thanks, I had forgot about steroids (and inhaled corticosteroids) being used for covid too- but these are hard to get- docs really hate handing out steroids-

From the link:

“Not recommended: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). The use of HCQ is extremely controversial.[33]The best scientific evidence to date suggest that HCQ has no proven benefit for post exposure prophylaxis, for the early symptomatic phase and in hospitalized patients. [34-39] It should be noted that these studies did not include Zinc, and it is possible that the efficacy of HCQ requires the co-administration of Zin”

Well yeah, HCQ is a Zinc Ionophore - HCQ enables the Zinc to cause the virus to not be able to replicate- HCQ alone won’t do the trick from everything I’ve read- a medical site should know that-

Gonna take me soem time to read through hte rest of the link- lots of info there-

[Bob434]

thnak you for those links- looks interesting on the EGCG-

I’ve been taking 500 mg/day Quercetin with 50 mg zinc since mid March. Spoke with my doc at my annual checkup and his observation was:

1) this probably won’t hurt you any (and so far, so good)

2) you do realize that there isn’t a shred of real data that this will do you any good at all.

(He’s a real “RCT is the only science” kind of guy, but otherwise OK.)

Has it happens, this is pretty much what Dr. Zelenko thinks might be a workable pre-exposure prophylaxis dosing if HCQ is not available for political reasons.

I have quercetin, ecgc, and four forms of zinc (two different pills) on the shelf. I take them once a week with an elderberry extract chaser. Plenty of D and C. I also have some old azithromycin I didn’t use from a trip to Mongolia. Also have some nicotine patches. Lots of quality tonic water.

If symptoms show, I’m doing it all as I call the doctor for HCQ.

[Bob434]

Thanks, We’ve been taking zinc for awhile now- apparently it takes some time for it to build up- hard to absorb or something- we take the lozenges-

My doctor(s) are very similar. One only seems to want the FDA seal of approval on anything I bring up. I have to bite my tongue to avoid getting political. Then I do what I want anyway!

[Jane Long]

LOTS of FR threads/posts have been made regarding the Quercetin/Zinc protocol.

We’ve been taking it for months....since March...and, pretty much follow Dr Zev Zelenko’s suggested regimen.....

Here’s a previous thread, about this, by Mrs Don-o...

Dr. Zev Says! YOU CAN PREVENT COVID INFECTION. Let’s tell everybody.
