Thank you for the reply and I do believe you nailed it having a good analytical mind. I am by no means an expert either and I would do pretty much anything before I would get a shot, I still call it a shot as it is not a true vaccination.
I mentioned it on several occasions taking the following vitamins and nutrients as advised by an MD will help to combat and shake off this virus should you get it. Of course it is advisable to take them like a prophylactic BEFORE you may encounter this virus and it gets a chance to establish itself, even so this combination will not protect you from catching it, but if you do this stuff will go to work immediately.
Another thing I would suggest is to read up on each of the components, so you get an idea what each one will do for you and there is plenty of info available on the internet and it may surprise you. Besides these vitamins/nutrients are beneficial for the human body either way if you get the virus or not.
Here is the lineup
.QUERCETIN+C+D+ZINC+NAC+MELOTONINE+B+COMPLEX
And by the way QUERCETIN is an IONOPHORE for zinc, similar to HCQ this means it will in simple terms unlock the cells and permit zinc to enter so it can stop the virus from proliferating. And NAC (N-acetyl-systemin) is a precursor to GLUTATHION, a potent immune system enhancer.
Correction it should read NAC N-Acetyl-Cysteine
Thanks. I actually am already taking most of those, though I recently added the Quercetin. I’m curious what doses you take? I take:
Quercetin - 500mg once a day
Zinc - 50mg 2x a day (I read that a post infection course is 25mg 8x per day as lozenge)
C - 1000 mg once a day
D3 Raw - 5000 iu once a day
B12 complex (I don’t recall the dose) once a day
Melatonin - 20mg-40mg at night mostly for sleep but it isn’t working tonight :-)
I also take some BP pills, Cholesterol meds, CoQ10, and DHA Omega 3 850mg, baby aspirin. The Quercetin I started more recently, the others I have been taking since before the pandemic though I did switch to straight zinc last year. Also take iron supplement but not daily. I am aware of the ionophore concept (quercetin, HCQ or Ivermectin and possibly others) necessary to transport zinc into the cells where it may block the receptors the virus binds to.
I have read people suggest NAC or other amino acids. I’ll look further into it. There are reports of some people having bad lung scarring from CV19 infection, and in theory NAC may help with that and related issues, anti-oxidant, and reduce HDL levels (or improve LDL levels I forget).
Other than high-ish blood pressure (kept to normal range with meds) I have none of the major co-morbidities associated with higher risk of death with CV19. I am bigger than I was in my college years (few aren’t!) but I’m not obese, and have gone off and on over the years with an Atkins (keto) type diet to keep weight off. (I prefer Atkins to Keto the main difference is Atkins stresses more protein while Keto more fat otherwise they are pretty much the same). I avoid sugar almost entirely, carbohydrates to the minimum, and take fiber supplement tablets which are net carb neutral (100% soluble) that help the digestive issues of a high protein low-carb diet.
Been tested 3 times (not because I wanted to know but because I was required to have proof for various reasons) all 3 times negative. I would like it to stay that way and hopefully run the clock out on this damn virus.
BTW and FWIW, the first time I started doing the Atkins type diet, every one of my blood tests was markedly improved - much to the surprise of my cardiologist. Blood sugar was never high but it dropped 30 points. Blood pressure stabilized. Total cholesterol dropped beyond that of the statin, and improved the LDL/HDL ratio which is counter-intuitive for a diet that is high in meat. I attribute all of it to the low carb / low sugar intake though it is just ‘anecdotal’.
