Why on earth was your wife squinting at you and pressuring you to take meaningless tests? She should be making you chicken soup, not telling you to hit the road.

Yeah, I've been sick a few times these last couple years but have never taken a covid test. Is that weird?

He sounds like Randy Weaver’s wife…he sent her to the wood shed when she got her period. Lol!

I'm not a doctor, but I think you're going to make it.

Your mom says you will get well soon. At least you know you won’t be getting myocarditis as so many vaxed men in their 50s are getting. Love you!

After ~2 years of being on the FLCCC protocol daily (D3, Zinc, NAC, Quercetin, Vit C) and IVM once a month, it finally caught up with me 3 weeks ago. I'd been in close contact with someone who tested positive. 2 days later I was sick and didn't need to test to know what it was. I was dealing with it until my oxygen got down to 85 the 4th day so I went in to the emergency room. They insisted on testing and of course I was positive. They wanted to admit me but when I asked what their treatment protocol would be, I was told they would immediately be starting IV Remdesivir and then Paxlovid.

I told them I would get my things and go, as I would not allow either of those drugs in my body. The NP was not happy but ended up prescribing only steroid, telling me that the excruciating headache I had was because of swelling in the lining of the brain and the steroids should help; beyond that they would do nothing.

After a decent night's sleep I was feeling perfectly normal the next day. By the day after I was sicker than I had ever been (Day 6) and at times thought I may die. I felt like I was smothering every time I lay down. I was taking IVM daily as per FLCCC protocol and also using a nebulizer with albuterol (owned previously for one asthma attack years before). The following 8-10 days were horrible; I was very sick, I couldn't eat, headache, diarrhea, BP spikes, erratic heartbeat, low oxygen, headache, mild fever. After 3 weeks now, yesterday I finally began to feel like it was loosening its hold on me. My oxygen has returned to normal and most of the other symptoms are gone.

Just a word of caution (I learned this from a medical friend after my hospital visit): There does seem to be a rebound period followed by a relapse period that begins at about 5 days in. When I thought I was out of the woods, the real effects were just starting.

I am convalescing from it now. I did take one of those rapid tests. I have not looked into their accuracy or reliability, but I got an immediate positive reading. (I know that PCR has real problems, but have not studied this other test. )

I am not vaccinated, and take all of the commonly recommended supplements. Still got it. Took Ivermectin after the worst. Not use if it helped, but and not sure that the supplements helped either. On a case by case basis, it is impossible to know.

Just like "I am double vaxxed and boosted, thank God, or it would have been worse."

I would say it has been like a moderate flu - not nice, but I have been through worse. Still very fatigued, low energy, since presumed infection at the beginning in the month. Still some congestion. Just not quite into my lungs at the moment.

I am in my 70s, overweight, and elevated blood pressure, so those are known risk factors. For me, not the worst, but still have endured the better part of a month has been less than fantastic.

So, don't minimize the possible consequences of this thing. It is worse than a cold for a lot of folks, supplemented and unvaxxed.

My story too. And I'm into long haul, a bit which I didn't even believe in.

Antihistamines; Benadryl and Allegra are working miracles. There's some good reporting on this.

Expand full comment

Trish, if you have a minute: are the antihistamines you mentioned for treating the acute phase of covid or long covid? Couldn’t quite tell from your post. Also, do you remember from the reporting you read whether antihistamines in general are supposed to be effective or was it Benadryl & Allegra specifically?

I'm sorry to read you were so ill. There are so many strains going around...lighter cases and more challenging ones. Glad you are okay. You are right about the rebound situation...best to not do too much when feeling better...as the next day may be worse.

This is the problem. You feel better. Start living and then crash.

At least if it kills you, you'll have a good view! Seriously, it's a cold. As you know. As most of us know. We picked up some nazi horse dewormer in Panama back in March, but we had the c-word in January and (shocking miracle that it is) were totally fine. And we're "old" (57 and 62). Have a great vacation!

I wonder what it is in your sample that caused that line to form in the lateral flow test?

We really don’t know because the method development hasn’t been fully published.

I wish you had not gone off alone. I was quite sick when I had 'something', camping would have been a stretch. When I had it my family did not even get it and they were then un-injected.

Best to you thinking of you from Oregon

True, week two was worse, but I had Delta.

Welcome to the club. Everyone I know has gotten it, vaxx or not. Everyone's fine.

Good thing we shut down the planet for two years over this huh.

Good luck and feel better but most likely your family has already had a run in with the germs. Probably should have stayed with them. As the saying goes, the family who gets sick together..gets natural immunity together lol.

Via con Dios.

You probably have a higher chance of being eaten by a bear (in LA) than succumbing to covid.

I also came down with the wuhan flu, symptoms started Wednesday. Got PCR confirmation Friday morning. Sore throat, headache, fever, and fatigue. I too had been taking vitamin C/D, quercetin, zinc, aspirin, and omega 3 for years. My employer offered up the the paxlovid solution, and after remembering it is a Pfizer product pushed by the good Greek veterinarian Dr Bourla, I decided to join the control group. By noon Friday the fever broke. 98% recovered by Monday.

Interesting. My bro flew cross country a month ago. Arrived with a 'cold.' He never got tested, got over his 'cold.' Then I got it. Same thing, congestion, coughing. Came and went and came and went for three weeks. Then my sis got the same 'cold.' None of us got tested. I believe it was the other thing, but why get tested? They have said that the latest version is way less dangerous. But I know a bunch of folks who, if they came down with a cold like I had, would be running off to be tested. The Rulers have programmed about half the population to be fearful of any and all maladies. Sad.

believe it or not, i still listen to TWIV (this week in virology); although they are awfully hard to take, i like to know what the enemy is thinking. Dr Daniel Griffin who is way high up on the food chain in the Northwell Hospital System insists that OMICRON IS DANGEROUS and just appears mild because so many people HAVE BEEN VACCINATED WITH THESE VERY EFFECTIVE VACCINES and 1000 CHILDREN HAVE DIED, MOSTLY FROM OMICRON and that we are still IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC and must live in a constant state of panic. DON'T LET PEOPLE SHAME YOU INTO TAKING OFF YOUR MASK, he states, obviously forgetting how people shamed (bullied, badgered, threatened, fired, denied rights, charged more for insurance, etc) those who didn't wear masks and get vaccinated. funny huh

Sad? It’s f-big PATHETIC! I cannot believe the wimps our society has created. It’s an embarrassment.

It was a great interview. I subscribed to your Substack as soon as Tucker said that he reads everything that you write. I’m sure that he is far busier than I am. I’ve read everything from now until about the middle of May in the last 2 days. I’m loving your stuff. Thanks for taking the time to offer such a detailed explanation.

Thanks for reading!

Likewise, I came down with the 'rona last Tuesday. Sore muscles, a headache, and fatigue. I felt better on Friday morning aside from some lingering tiredness. I didn't have the sore throat/runny nose that most have. Oh, the humanity.... it's a good thing we locked down society for two years.

I honestly felt worse when I had the flu in 2018.

My medication routine? A few Tylenol.
