“I’ve tried (and failed miserably) since last summer to add natural immunity”
I recommend being ready to treat your case, the moment you suspect symptoms. Omicron will be in full bloom the next few weeks in Maryland (especially around DC) - but Delta is still on the march as well. Prepare for the worst.
My plan is to ramp up zinc to 50 mg/day if symptomatic, and 10-20,000 IUs of Vitamin D, and a couple of grams of C per day. I’ll be drinking 1-2 liters of tonic water per day, and taking 10 mg. of melatonin, an aspirin, a Benadryl and lactoferrin before bed. In the morning I’ll have another lactoferrin. Some time during the day, a Pepcid, and some horse paste. All stocks, and food for a two week quarantine, are on hand. I timed my booster for the antibody surge to align with the Omicron wave, three weeks ago.
What can I say - I’m a prepper. I believe overkill is better than underkill.
That said, I am also kind of hunting for my case to get it over with - party plans for New Year’s Eve. By then, and the week or two after, it should be getting pretty easy to contract.
So you think a booster designed for the specific spike protein of the original variant will work for a new variant with different spike proteins?
Did you get the year before last’s flu shot for this year’s strain of the flu, too?
