“I got sniffles for a day. Mostly from raking all the damned leaves.”

I get “allergies in late October and most of November to ThanksGiving thanks to acres of leafy trees/wild grasses.

Normally, I take antihistamines from the end of Sept to early December and frost time.

This season, I have only used Saline Nasal Mist 3-4 times a day and no antihistamines. The saline nasal mist has worked very well. Some nights I have to use a rescue dose of the spray at about 3 am. I go back to sleep and my wife isn’t disturbed.

My wife has had terrible allergies from late September to now and many friends and relatives on the left coast have the same issues. Normally, she just blows her nose and is fine.

The wife and I fell ill about two months ago. Nothing serious. It was like a light cold. I thought I had hay fever. But, it just kept hanging on. After a week, I got tested. Both of us were positive for covid. Didn’t feel that sick, but it kept hanging on, and kept testing positive for covid for another 3 weeks. More of an inconvenience than anything. We finally shook it.

I was sick for over 3 months with a very severe cough in Jan. to April 2023. I had dropped from an OPTIMUM blood Vitamin D level a year earlier to the INSUFFICIENT D level immediately before I got sick. ConservativeMind with his health ping list had just posted an article saying that having a BMI over 25 can cause your D to deposit in your fat, rather than circulate in your blood where it can do good. My BMI had risen to 27.5 from overeating “comfort foods” as I worried about 3 loved ones with cancer. After losing 30 lbs. I am down to BMI 23 and have not been sick since.

I think it is criminal that our govt. health agencies have not warned us of the importance of good Vitamin D levels. It is especially outrageous that such warnings have not been given when scientists know that dark skinned people absorb less D from sun through their skin. Most of us do not get enough D from sun in the winter. Especially in the south in summer people stay inside for the cool AC. I believe this explains the surge in late summer Covid and other viral illnesses. It was known early in the Covid epidemic that dark skinned people were dying at a higher rate than white skinned people.

As Trump’s health advocate, Kennedy should advise these agencies to immediately urge people to have their blood Vit. D levels tested if they are illness prone. People should also be advised to get their BMI levels below 25 by loosing weight with healthier eating habits. Refined carbs should be a VERY small part of a healthy diet.

I had my 6 month checkup today (remember when it was annual?). I have a new doc and was worried he’d be pushing vaccines, but he didn’t even bring it up...which made me like him more. I’m very healthy except for hereditary high cholesterol and hereditary thyroid issues (reason I have to go every 6 mos) both of which are under good control. I will NEVER take a covid or flu shot!

New doc relocated here from The Villages in Fla. I bet he could tell some tales...lol

Last week I started getting a scratchy throat and started coughing, so I took vitamin D3+K, Zinc, and Lomatium in water. Then I put on a sweater and got under a blanket, and it went away.

Then last night I started coughing again and was getting a scratchy throat, so I repeated the same thing as above and today, I’m doing great.

How did you know about Ivermectin, HCQ, Zinc, and Doxycycline 5 years ago? I have been using and following new nutrition info for over 50 years, and first started to find out about these Covid/virus fighters in March 2020. I was talking with my son as he planned for another Afghanistan deployment regarding supplements to take with him. He told me information from China was being blocked on the internet, and information on high Vitamin C research there as well. Soon I heard about Dr. Zelenko’s letter cc’ed to the White house on March 23, 2020, regarding effective early treatment for Covid. Then I heard Trump and Fauci talking about HCQ, zinc, and Azithromycin for Covid. I never heard them say ZINC was the key virus stopper, and HCQ the IONOPHORE that helped enough zinc get into cells, or that very early treatment was crucial. After 10 days they stopped mentioning ZINC are all. In May, Fauci announced an NIH study on HCQ and Azithromycin in hospitalized patients. I hope they nail his a$$. I think at least 1/2 million people died because of him.

That year I tried at least 6 times to post info on the 3 part treatment at various Covid related articles shown by AOL. I was told repeatedly my comments violated community standards and they would not print the
comment. At the same time they were printing vile and slanderous comments about Trump and Biden with these articles.

There was something going around up in these parts. Coughing and snorting for a week or two and once that settles down getting tired easily.

This is a very high dose, and should only be used one day, with the subsequent daily dose of 1 5000IU capsule. After I got so sick I doubled may daily dose of 5000IU in winter and 2000IU in summer. The end of that year my blood D was way above the optimum level. I cut back to my former level and will have my annual physical soon and see what my D level is then. Also dropped weight from 160 to 130 lbs., BMI from 27.5 to 23.

Lack of smell shows a zinc deficiency. After I had been sick 2 months I could not smell. I had been taking 50 mg. of zinc oxide. After 5 days of 150 mg. (3 a day) my smell came back.

You’ve described my health since Election Day perfectly.
Started with nagging cough, then sore throat, sinus congestion and now a full on head cold. I figure I let my guard down after we won the night and still need few more days to recover. Hope your household recovers soon as well! It’s going around in CT, I am not alone!

Get on the Zelenko protocol. It puts your immune system in Superman territory.
