MY COVID, HOSPITAL, LOW SODIUM, Vaccines

Dear all,

I’m 57, ET. Was harmed by the Pfizer vaccine (veins and Vagus Nerve) and after a year, do not count as vaccinated. I was treated for these problem with bioresonance and the Quint system which finally gave me my brain and energy back.

Covid hit my family:

My husband 60 is vaccinated 3x. My daughter 18 had only 2 vaccines, but refused the booster after so many people we know had vein problems, pericarditis, brain problems and my husbands best friend, cardiologist, had a stroke. My neighbor 42, 3 young kids was in the hospital for a month with acute vein problems, especially in the brain. She‘s otherwise extremely fit.

My susceptibility history: other than my ET, 90x bronchitis, 3x pneumonia, 1x Swine flu.

We all got Covid about a month ago. My husband was first and took paxlovid immediately. Covid was gone on day 5, he returned to work for 4 days and Covid came back to haunt him and worse than before, for another 9 days. This happened to some of his colleagues as well. The second time around, he infected me and our daughter. We were all weak, had runny noses, heavy coughing. I had high fever, diarrhea and vomited once, ended up hospitalized for 2 days due to sodium deficiency. Was in hospital for 2 nights.

At first utter exhaustion. I Was even too weak to breath, but could push myself to breath enough. My bronchial tubes felt raw. Weird taste in my mouth although I never really lost sense of taste. I was brought to hospital on day 3, a bit scared. My sodium was at 127 (Norm is 135-145). I was immediately put on fluids, released after 2days sodium at 132. I started highly salting my food and 10 days later, I was up to 135.

Researching this morning I found this study from a year ago below: please read!

endocrine.org/news-and-advo...

Sodium deficiency increases chances of intubation greatly and too much sodium is a marker of high probability of Covid death. This is so important and no one talks about it. It’s so easy to fix!!

Back to Covid:

Both my daughter and I needed 10 days to be able to take a short walk around the block again. That took me 2,5 months after the swine flu!!

My treatment:

I refused the paxlovid. I took traditional Chinese medicine, natural Vit C (1,5g every 2.5 hours on the first 2 days and then tapered off slowly) 100mg Zink Daily for 5 days, quercitine, NAC 3x1 600mg 2,5 weeks (ignites our glutathione production, our body‘s own strongest antioxidant), Lysine (helps protects the virus from multiplying), Vit. D 20,000IUs (5 days then reduce to 2-3/week, which I usually take to keep my Vit D at an optimal 80), also taurine 1000mg daily for 2,5 weeks (helps break down the virus’ protective shield, so our immune system can get to it, thyme drops as expectorant, My energy secret, Acetyl L- carnitine. 100mg am/1000mg afternoon). I inhaled with about 3% salt water 3x a day. I also took 10g of melatonin at night which helps also clear the lungs.

On day 13, We finally started our vacation with a two week delay. I took a 6km walk around a lake and On day 14, I took a 3,5 hr hike down a gorge and up a mountain, down the other side in Slovenia. I‘m generally not in good shape in the last 2 years.

Today is day 21 and I still have a bit of coughing in the morning and need 2-3x more salt that before. Last night I was out dancing .

Past info to swine flu:

The swine flu recovery took me almost 3 months! THAT was a BEAST! Covid has definitely lost its punch.

Boosters?

I do believe, the vaccines were important in getting out of the pandemic, but I am angry.

To the shame of all the companies that produce them, they are hardly working against the new mutations. Almost no one, even those over 80 (about 3%) are now getting their boosters, here in Austria. Pfizer and co. all promised to adjust them to the new mutations within 6 months, early last fall and they never did that. It’s now been 9 months and no sign of change for the coming waves of Covid. Why doesn’t anyone talk about this? Instead, they are pushing medications, which are not working for 1/2 the patients. It is frustrating.

I’d appreciate comments about your experiences with Covid, Sodium, Covid vaccines.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone.

Glad to learn that you are recovering ok...

By the way, I was just reading the following article, from the JAMA Network in the USA, which may interest you also...

Glad to hear you are recovering. Interesting choice for TCM to treat COVID. It is undervalued in Western medicine and can be quite helpful.

I had COVID (likely Omicron) back in January. Took 12 days to shake the primary upper respiratory symptoms. STarted each day feeling like a had a cold but by about 5:00 would feel awful. Turns out Sundowning is a thing with COVID. It took about 2 months for energy levels to return to normal. I did opt to treat with a monoclonal antibody infusion.

I have had three primary Moderna vaccines and ne Pfizer booster. I will follow up in the Fall when hopefully boosters will be updated.

Wishing you continued recovery and great energy for long walks.

Hi Hunter. a few people I know, who are high risk, had the monoclonal therapy at it worked beautifully for them. It’s not available in Austria. I was also worse at night. I’m still coughing a tiny bit in the morning. I take 20 drops of a Thyme tincture and that helps me get that little sticky mucous out within 15 min. 🙂

The TCM always works for me beautifully. Got me on my feet after a massive burnout, within only 4 months. But this one was the worst I’ve ever tasted!

My husband at 38 was treated for 1.5 years with cortisone spray for his cough by a university professor pneumologist who had run all kinds of tests on his lungs and that, for a beautiful sum of money. The treatment eventually lead to his cancer (just 2 months after our wedding).

Later on, an ENT said it’s just reflux. He had a gastroscopy and doctors pushed for surgery to fix his esophageal sphincter. He opted out. Doing TCM additionally to his chemo, the doctor added herbs for the reflux. All gone!

We are absolute fans of TCM. 😉

TCM does work quite well some issues. I have a batch of Dit Da Jow steeping now. My Sifu helped me make it. We call it "Gung Fu Cologne." It really helps with the bumps and bruises we get training. Neigong can also be a very helpful intervention for a variety of issues.

All the best.

It’s great that you are open to alternatives. My father-in-law was taking 10 different medications when he died!! He was 96. If I had known that, I’d have replaced 7 of those with natural alternatives. He was able to run down the stairs at 91. Once he started on statins and co., his brain and body deteriorated within 18 months. Each med that was added caused new problems.

FYI: the TCM I was given:

They are promising the bivalent vax by fall, at least in the US. The FDA just ordered they modify it to use ba.5 variant rather than original Omicron that was planned so it will be delayed a few more weeks. Ba.5 is the one that better gets past all the vaxes and prior infections. Early data against ba.5 appear good for even the original Omicron antigen vax, see link. I plan to get it. The catch is whether ba.5 is still in fashion by Fall, or replaced by the latest new one.

But the vaxes and prior infection do provide good long term t-cell protection against all known variants for most patients. This does not prevent infection but prevents the worst outcomes that were common two years ago before anyone had covid t-cells.

I just posted details on t-cell studies in another thread.

<<Late-stage clinical trial results found the updated shot elicited about a fivefold increase in antibodies against BA.4 and BA.5 in previously vaccinated and infected individuals, according to the company.>>

Anag in reply to EPguy

All that has to now be looked at with a microscope before it can be blessed by the FDA.

The bottom line for me is, I as a super high risk individual, who got through Corona pretty fast with my natural treatments a year after I had the second shot (therefore had no vaccine protection?). Who knows?

Knowing so many high risk patients (obese and/or diabetic and over 55) who weren’t vaccinated and got through this well, even the delta variant, I would never take the risk of another vaccine after what happened to me and those I know.

The omicron variant is a far cry from the original nasty virus and it’s treatable. I had the 4/5, which is running rampant in Central Europe right now. It’s so nice to be free of fear and after 2 years not having to wear a mask even when people are talking to my face! 📣😃

Thank you for your post. I am lost for words, so many covid reactions in your family/ social circle. I really wish I’d had this info before I went for my 2nd Oxford trial visit. I could have asked questions.I’m under the impression that the AZ is constantly monitoring covid and it’s various strains so that it can tweak the vaccines. It will be interesting to read other replies to your post

Most importantly I hope you and your family make a rapid recovery.

Thank you for taking the time to post this valuable information on how you dealt with Covid. It must have worked for you to hike in gorges in Slovenia - a wonderful country.You have a deep knowledge of the effects of these medications and especially sodium levels. This is new for me.

Hope you and your family continue to improve.

Hi Anag Good to hear you are recovering from COVID.

I was vaccinated twice with the AstraZeneca vaccine; 7 days after the 2nd I started with lower leg and foot problems (both legs) - Oedema, toenail Atrophy (I lost 4), a lesion on my ankle took 3 months to begin healing and I developed a pin prick rash on the top of both feet. Prior to the vaccine, I had never experienced oedema - not even during pregnancy.

My GP ordered ECG, Chest X-ray, blood and urine tests and all came back NAD. At the appointment where I was given the NAD results, I asked if it was possibly caused by the AZ vaccine, her response was that she didn't know!

I opted to not have further COVID booster vaccines... There wasn't proof positive, that the AZ Vaccine had caused my health issues, but my suspicions were enough, coupled with the fact that many people I know experienced serious health problems after having the vaccines; my son-in-law's aunt died from a brain aneurysm 3 days after having the Pfizer vaccine - her death certificate states cause of death due to 'complications' from the vaccine. Plus, 2 other usually fit, healthy friends suffered heart attacks within days of having theirs. My mother and a friend's mother now have heart problems and have to take medication daily, whereas before they were fine... all coincidences? I tend to think not.

So far (touching wood as I type) I haven't contracted COVID-19. I haven't kept myself locked away either, I've led a normal life - socialising (pubs, restaurants), working and work events, shopping and using public transport.

I've just decided to take all necessary precautions to keep myself healthy - I don't go anywhere without hand sanitiser - I take Vit D, zinc, Vit C and magnesium daily. I use a Neti Pot with a saltwater solution twice a day, more when I go out, and also gargle with Listerine twice a day. news-medical.net/news/20210...

SWINE FLU - I also had the BEAST in 2009, it knocked me sideways for 4 months or more. In fact, it could be said that I am still 'suffering' the after effects now in 2022.

Before Swine Flu, I was very fit and very healthy. The only times I visited my GP were due to pregnancy and birth control check-ups. About 6 months after Swine flu, I was diagnosed with high BP and SVT. I then had a stroke in 2012.

At the initial consultation with my Haem he was interested to hear that I had contracted Swine Flu in 2009 as after that time he has noticed abnormal blood results. No other Dr had spotted them, so it looks like Swine Flu could have caused my Jak2+ PV.

Anyway, I've rambled on for far too long.

Stay well Anag.

We used colloidal silver nose spray and gargled as well. Every time we went out in public- when we got home we would spray and gargle. I think it really helped. My son got covid at a New Years party (I’m sure he didn’t remember to spray/gargle). I got it from my husband - he had gotten lax on prevention tactics. No one in our family thankfully were very sick. We followed the FLCCC protocols.

Anag in reply to Kari1961

Thanks for your rambling, Kari,

I am so sorry for these terrible side effects. I’m so glad you spoke out about this. I was so surprised at so much euphoria about getting the 4th and 5th jabs. Hardly anyone who had damage speaks up and when they do, many get ridiculed, including me and we are asked to prove it.

My freind’s brother-in-law, a strong and healthy farmer, 60, felt awful the night after the Pfizer and the next day, died of a heart attack.

My homeopath is one of the best doctors I have ever met. His wife tests the patients’ bodies with myodiagnostic, does accupuncture. She got bleeding eczema all over her body after the Moderna? AZ? vaccine. Her waist and legs have been scared forever. She went through 3 months of therapy to finally get this to stop.

My brother got Bell’s Palsy. 6 weeks of cortison. He was one of 280 case, above average for that year in North Carolina, already last September. Also Pfizer. He had his first cold at 48. A real bull.

Great supplements! Lysin is great for protection as well.

Swine flu!!!

Backtracking, my ET was already detectable in 2010, almost a year after my swine flu infection. My family had gotten over it quickly. I had kept all my old blood tests, since I was already under treatment for Hashimoto. I had my 3rd TIA in Sept. 2017, which led to my ET diagnosis. My thrombocytes were always steadily climbing since 2010 and no doctor rang the bell, not even at 758 the year before. Years of suffering unidentifiable this and that, 3 MRI’s and dizziness, fatigue, hair loss, being in and out of a daze, memory problems, tingling legs, histamine intolerance,…..

We’ve all been through a lot and it’s so good to learn from each other! Please stay well and keep doing what you’re doing for your health! 🙂

Sorry you had such a rough ride and thank you for the info on sodium levels, the study you posted is very interesting. Have suggested to my husband we should have some gatorade or similar in the house just in case. I have avoided covid so far despite having it within our home three times . I think masks (ffp2 or NK95) work! Not sure what I would do if I caught it, I could just try to weather it out, making sure I am well hydrated and electrolyted!! I had 4 pfizer jabs with no big issues and am waiting for the autumn to get the next, hoping it will have been tweaked. Good luck to you and to everyone , hopefully new variants will progressively loose the sting in the tail!

Yes. Masks do work. I caught it as soon as I dropped the mask. 😑

Our experience: No one in our family got the vaccine. After our research, we (personally) decided they weren’t worth the risk. We are all pretty natural anyway and rarely take meds. My 20 yr old son has ET and he was especially concerned to get the vaccine. We followed the FLCCC protocol. We took almost all the supplements that you took with the addition of ivermectin (which is in the protocol). We all recovered with no issues. My son was doing light workouts after day 8 or 9. He did really well. He had the flu in 2019 and that hit him much harder. Covid wasn’t fun but not terrible. Hope you continue to recover well.

Thank you for your input. I’ll check I to your protocol. Would love to compare. We are all now well. 😁

Anag in reply to Anag

I read the FLCCC website. Good info. My Covid infection has an aftermath. In the hospital, I couldn’t write on my phone. Fine motor problems and confusion. Covid Day 5. The left side of my head was a little numb (left side) and my hands were not coordinated, left much slower, thumbs floating around, eyes not really helping.

The doctor did the normal stroke checks. Nothing. I insisted on a specialist. No one came near me, my viral load 14!!! superspreader. I insisted, since I’ve had 6 TIAs. They said nothing, sodium good, they sent me home.

Till today, my typing is difficult but better. My writing is jagged. tinnitus much stronger. Just had a panic attack in the supermarket and the ambulance came. I believe my brain couldn’t deal with the disco music, babies screaming, absolute chaos, (I’m on vacation in Croatia) don’t know what and where, and I collapsed after packing my groceries. BP 185/100. Normal is 110/70. I see Panic is a long haul symptom. I need to clean up the Covid debris still floating around. Unfortunately patients with Hashimoto shouldn’t take nigella sativa, which is an incredible healer!! I’ll find what’s good for me. 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you Anag for your honesty and bravery for starting this conversation, which was definitely needed. Like others here, I haven’t had, nor have any intention of ever getting this experimental Covid gene therapy. We need to call it what it really is. I had Covid April this year and felt very tired for a day. Took vit c, d and zinc and quickly recovered. Thankfully my husband totally agrees with me. Sadly 4 of his colleagues have ‘unexpectedly’ died of heart attacks following the jab in the last couple in months.

Keep going with the natural remedies and boosting your own natural immunity! Much better 😁

Anag in reply to Amethist

OMG Amethist!

Four colleagues?! That is crazy! Was that confirmed? How old? How long after the jab? Jab 1? 2? Booster? I’m so sorry for your husband. That’s a lot to bear at work.

My dentist is 33 yrs old, an athlete and he got pericarditis. Is better now after 5 months.

Thanks for writing. Stay well. Anag

Apologies for the late reply. Have just moved house and of course the internet doesn’t work in the new place 🥴 Sorry, I don’t have specific details on my husbands colleagues , one was young and very fit in his 40’s , another nearer 60, I don’t know about the other 2. But they weren’t close colleagues of my husband so we will never know the details. The thing is, it is really unusual for so many to die so close together. Normally you hear of 1 person ever other year or so, not 4 in close succession. Too much of a coincidence for me.

Thank you for your courage posting this. I posted something about a year ago and it was immediately taken down by MAZ and I question that intensely. FREE SPEECH PEOPLE

so in the beginning it was everybody gets shots and more shots and more shots and do not talk about God forbid you get a side effect or 2

I'm very happy more people are being open and honest now because I had a lot of horrific side effects so did my spouse I refused to let my kids get the vaccine and my Kids have both had this twice and luckily are fine. The shots are not the answer, we need safer medicine in case people get it like we have with Tamiflu. I see a lot of people get sick after their flu shots and they would have been perfectly fine getting the flu getting the flu is a normal part of life just like getting a head cold unfortunately this is gonna be another normal part of life you cannot get shots for every single thing sometimes your body needs to get sick in order to get better it is the natural process.

Love to honesty

Anag profile image
Anag in reply to mochapie

Thanks, Mochapie. Facts should never be taken down. I was wondering why no one talked about this? Yes. Treatments should be developed. The Paxlovid did work for 1/2 our friends but not for the other half. Perhaps a few days more? It is not quite ready and I hope they fix it to be more effective.

My best friend in the US is a vaccine fanatic. Her little sister died of malaria when her dad was stationed in Africa long time ago and she saw other people dying of all sorts of illnesses that could have been prevented. She saw how vaccines do save lives.

She trumpeted taking the Covid vaccine to everyone. She posted a picture of her jab on Facebook every time. After her 4th, she got really sick and was in bed for a month. Her 25 year old son now has heart problems after his 3rd. We had heated discussions about the issue. She was telling me getting Covid is worse. Well, it definitely wasn’t for me.

She preached to me that her good friend is on the review board of Pfizer and she peer reviewed the findings, that she’s high integrity. After she got sick, she was ashamed to admit what happened to her. It took her 3 months to come out of the closet. Nevertheless, she’s contemplating taking the 5th, because her husband is 67, very overweight, diabetic and she wants to protect him.

On the other hand, Her younger 38 year old brother got Covid in 2020. He has had long Covid (also his wife) for 1,5 years and still can’t taste anything and both are still dragging themselves around and they have 3 small kids. Covid was a monster. We don’t know if the monster will return.

I do believe the vaccine originally made a dent in the problem but to a cost for many, especially young, healthy men -pericarditis and heart attack. There have been documentaries about this on TV in Austria and Germany, where these things are openly discussed.

Thanks for writing. Keep informed and objective and try to make the right decisions for yourselves.

Good reply and yes a while ago you could never say a thing on here it would have been taken down with absolutely no explanation and here in the US they made my husband take the 2nd shot and I don't believe a lot of people should have been made to take any vaccine. It should be your own personal choice because if you would have died from a stroke or a heart attack et cetera who was gonna pay your family for your loss absolutely no one cause you have no right to sue or question.

More treatments need to be made asap. No shot is one size fits all. When I was a child I remember my mom saying a football player had a son with Autism and it was a 1 in 10,000 statistic. Now it's 1 in 42 boys have it. It's an epidemic.

I had heart palpitations and a variety of problems after my 1st I went from a 25 mg blood pressure pill to now 100 mg I'm very young this should not be happening this did not happen before the Pfizer shot so you explain that to me - most people will say it's just a coincidence get another get another get another get another you're due for another shot.

I also know someone as you do who had bells palsy for 2 months after 1st shot. But yes we should get 6 or more

mochapie profile image
mochapie in reply to mochapie

Before I get a lot of sarcastic comments I should say I do believe in the shots I just don't believe in such a multitude of them

I do think they're helping us by by not giving us such a massive infection actually if you catch it but I think what shooting our immune systems down to high heck is getting a lot of shots within a year or 2 not even. Sometimes too much is simply too much.

But yes this is a monster of a virus unlike the flu.

Speaking of the stuff you said we actually have family members who had a wonderful loving family and on Christmas they all got into a humongous fight over vaccines and now they're still not speaking to each other it's very sad it's disgusting . This is political and strange 2 years on. I say take the shots if you feel comfortable but no one should ever ever make you feel uncomfortable not taking them or be up in your business or force you at your job or you do not get paid or fired that's absolutely ridiculous . Everyone needs a great conversation about both sides of this but more importantly a cure. A lot of people I know that have gotten another shot and another shot and another shot unfortunately now they have it so I don't think the shots are the cure. I hope this gets better

I grew up south of Boston. My brother is in NC. His son became very autistic after his 7er vaccine. He was 2. My daughter got rheumatism at 2 after the tick shot (1/6 of ticks in Austria have meningitis). She was also aspergers.

my view on vaccines:

they are generally the trigger!

Not the only cause!

After years of struggling, researching and getting my masters in education to help exactly these kids, I got my ET diagnosis and immediately started my quest to cure ET. I studied medicine and alternative treatments 20-40 hours each week. After 2,000 hand-written pages of notes, It is clear as daylight:

Our bodies are poisoned and our kids worst than us, because sick bodies gave birth to them and the babies were suckling at our glyphosate-filled breasts. The vaccines just put these kids over the top and their environment makes them worse.

I’m ecstatic to say that after we all went on the strict Auto immune paleo diet, eat as much organic and non-GMO as possible and banning absolutely ALL chemicals out of our house, our daughter was tested and no longer has an Asperger’s diagnosis and her dermatitis is gone. She can now study 12 hours a day. All my allergies, fatty liver, incontinence, eczema, histamine intolerance, etc are all gone. Also 55 lbs melted off of me! I eat more calories than before. My Hashimoto 1/2 cured. My husband’s psoriasis 1/2 gone after 50 years! My brother didn’t have the willpower.

My daughter was born when I had 35 amalgams in my mouth; Her brain and body with a heavy mercury load. We still do heavy metal detox and my amalgams are out. I’m trying to slowly reverse all the crime that was committed on our bodies by the food and drug industry, which is a chemical industry.

World War III started a long time ago on our plates. We buy NOTHING THATS PRODUCED BY ANYONE and nothing in a package.

The battle is upstream, but we have to swim, if we want to find our health again and save the future generations. 50% of children have 1+ autoimmune problems at 10. 72% of mammals in the US have disappeared. 52% of young men in the US have trouble getting their wives pregnant. What else is there to say?

We fix these things, 70% of world problems will be solved, especially pollution. We have to go back to basics. We have to pay real prices for real food! How can a pound of pork in Austria cost $1,70? How? And fruit costs €2?, wheat flour 85 cents? What do the farmers get? The transport? Packaging? This is nuts!

Austria was the first country in the world to make the Covid vaccine compulsory in March. They didn’t get too far with that one! No one fought with each other. The people just didn’t go. Will you fine 40% of the population? We have a huge wave exploding right now. Very few are expected to end up on a breathing machine. The terror is over, unless we get another mutation that gets stronger. I will continue to pray that that doesn’t happen.

Take Care

Wow! Just wow! Finally some great honesty on here! My story. I’ve not had any of the vaccines. I’m not anti-vax, I just don’t like the idea of flu vaccines…..never had one of those either. I’ve had COVID 3 times. The first in Sept 2020. Although couldn’t get a test at the time (none available). I was pretty ill for a few weeks, couldn’t see a doc. They weren’t seeing anyone at my surgery. My lungs were in a bad way and finally was coughing up blood. They still would not see me but sent antibiotics to my home. This happened 3 times before it cleared. Chest X-rays later showed I developed COVID Pneumonia. Then in January 2021 I caught COVID again. (I was taking every precaution but my step-daughter, who I was very close to was killed in LA and my son came over to see me. I caught it from his gf who is a nurse). Finally, I’m just recovering from my 3rd bout of it after 1 1/2 years of steering clear. This time it’s much milder and using my own home remedies. Ginger/lemon/cayenne pepper tea. Lots vit C D zinc & magnesium and Colloidal silver. I travelled to Italy with my daughter to celebrate turning 70. We got caught up in the aviation mess of cancelled/delayed flights and so spent 8 hrs in a very over crowded Piza airport with hundreds of other weary travellers. So the chance of catching it was high. I’m ET triple negative. Diagnosed at the end of 2019. Platelets currently down to high 800’s although we’re up to 1.3 mil a few months ago Recently my haemoglobin levels have plummeted (84) and I’ve been Really unwell. Have since started iron tablets Ferrous Gluconate 300mg which do seem to be helping with energy levels and the extreme fatigue. I was initially on Hydroxycarbonide for 18 months but found the side effects intolerable. Stopped in April last year and felt so much better……even started riding my horse again! Then by Christmas platelets were so high I agreed to try Pegasus interferon. This has brought platelets down somewhat but still don’t feel so good as there are significant side effects with this also. My body does not react well to chemicals. I do try to eat well and maintain a healthy diet, juicing veg and eat a lot of fruit.

I’ve seen a naturopath and am trying to find a more holistic approach to this disease.

Re Covid, I have also met a number of people who have had very negative side effects from the vaccine. Especially very compromised immune systems resulting in all sorts of ‘unexplained “ rashes, colds that never heal, allergies etc in previously very fit and healthy people. It is an experimental vaccine and I am very opposed to the fact that it has been made mandatory for some, to the point of them losing their jobs etc.

I also have Diabetes 2 , hypertension (slightly overweight) along with ET and a few other things they are investigating so technically I am at high risk of serious illness from COVID . I’m on day 6 after first symptoms showed with COVID. And did test positive. I feel the worst is over. Still achy at night and a bit of an occasional cough but all in all I’m recovering well.

I think your input is very important Anag and gives way for a bit more freedom of speech. Thank you, I was, initially, not brave enough to come out and share my thoughts, but as is evident here, there are quite a few that feel the same. All the best to you with a good recovery. Elaine.

Thank you for your input Elleuno.

First of all, congratulations for ginger and Silver!! That finally got my daughter’s body to settle from Lyme disease!! Hurrah!!

I had immediate neurological problems with HU. I have Hashimoto and can’t take Interferon. Anagrelid works but causes heart pounding if I take 2 together. I take 4 spread out during the day. Perhaps that would be something for you. There is a 4th coming. Some of us on this forum are involved in the human trials now. Looks good. It’s good to have an alternative. 🙂

Regarding energy, I take 2-3 500mg capsules of Acetyl L-Carnitine. Am, midday and about 4 pm. If I go on a strenuous hike, I take 1g 15” before and 1g after 3 hours. It’s so amazing to help you get back on your feet. Also, I take CoQ10, 100mg every morning for 4 years now. Excellent. Let us know if you try these and how you feel.

You sound so positive! Stay that way and try to stay away from too much Vit K in your diet (especially juicing veggies). Kale, broccoli, dark greens, sweet potatoes, find a list of these. That is a thrombocytes fertilizer! 😉

Glad you’re doing better. Anag

Thank you so much for getting back to me Anag and for all the good info, I will definitely be looking into all that. I was hospitalised in February for a few days due to a GI bleed. I had no idea about the Vit K! There is so much to learn and know regarding food. With so much information out there it’s a gamble deciphering it all. Thank you so much for your input. Elaine

Hello again, Laine,

I usually type (ie) which foods raise thrombocytes? And just get some tips. Then: which foods reduce thrombocytes?

So easy.

There is a website I like: healthline.com

Just write (Vit D healthline) in search

This info is easy to understand and is pretty much complete for normal people to understand both conventional and natural solutions. Very well done. If you research, you’ll bump into the good websites. Be careful, there are so many websites that aren’t good. Check who’s writing the articles and their credentials!

I fixed my GI system:

I dropped most grains, especially wheat. I generally eat rice. Away with cow milk unless it comes from type B milk cows.

Rid yourself of simple sugars and difficult to digest foods like nuts (at least for a while).

Take a good live source of intestinal bacteria morning and eve on an empty stomach. I usually put the powder in room temp water and let it sit for 15 minutes before drinking it. Wait at least 15-20” before eating. Eat root vegetables, ground flax seeds, finer foods that will help the bacterias grow in your gut. They are our life line to good health. We have a few pounds of them in our bodies. Dropping most of the carbs will get the bad bacterias(which thrive on carbs) to die out and all cravings will go away. We get our energy from plenty of good high quality fats: best Greek olive oil, grass fed organic butter, avocados, olives. 25kg just melted off of me. 😃

I simmer organic beef bones for 24 hours, filter and put the salted boiling broth into jars, seal, turn on their heads for a few minutes, turn back and let cool. Store in fridge. Should have a gel consistency. I do 5lbs. of bones for 1 gallon of water. I use this broth to flavour all foods not just soups. This heals the gut! Is full of minerals and collagen. Can put 2 tbsp in in hot water and herbs and drink as soup.

Hope you try this. It works. It’ll get rid of depression if you’re prone to that. The above help the gut brain axis!
