Is Covid Still A Thing?

@S-Holmes Keep the thread updated, I'm curious how you will end up fixing this issue.
-
@brightside Wow! Im already taking several sups on his chart! Since I don't yet know exactly which fungi I'm plagued with, I'll use the scattergun approach. Will be more regular with the chitosan and chlorella, I now take 10 to 15 charcoal caps one or two nights a week, and sporebased probiotics daily. I may go back on a prebiotic and cascara sagrada for bowel health.
Thanks for the good info!

Ah, gotcha. What do you feel from the chlorella?
For what it's worth, I don't think that the chart is fully accurate, at least on the cholestyramine. I have never gotten benefits from charcoal, but a single dose of the cholestyramine will clear up my vision very dramatically for a day or so. According to the chart, CSM only binds ochratoxin, but I'm pretty sure that inhibiting bile absorption will eliminate more than just the ochratoxin. CSM probably just doesn't bind to the others directly.

I just started the chlorella a few days ago. I haven't really noticed anything yet. Can the cholestyramine be purchased without a scrip?

@S-Holmes actually, how does your sinusitus affect you? i'm wondering if i have the same symptom.
-
@S-Holmes No, unfortunately. I got some from Mexico, but it’s really pricey. According to Evan, it’s also bad for mitochondria, which makes sense, it’s a plastic resin after all.
I see. I’m going to receive some chlorella soon, so I will be experimenting with that too.

LOTS of mucus. Sinuses swollen shut, esp at night when I try to sleep.

I don't really have much mitochondria to spare. I got stem cells 6 months ago (IV and ethically sourced) and they helped a little but not sure I got my money's worth!
Let me/us know if chlorella helps you.

ah, i see. i have had that before falling sick as well. what's new for me is sometime after the fever (and especially after taking ivermectin) i've been having a sharp pain between/above my eyes, really noticeable if i massage the spot. i thought it might've been that.

I HAVE had that and forgot! It was just a small area right on my browbone. Very sore, esp when I pushed on or rubbed it. It finally went away.

yeah exact same spot for me too, a sore sharp pain. i had a hunch it's related to my loss of smell and i think it might be messing with my vision too, since i thought it was an eye pain for the longest time... any idea what cleared it up for you?

So many things. High dose iodine (and iodide symporters) maybe?

Haidut: Did you see the new studies that came out with COVID patients entering the hospital? The ones that didn't survive, more than 80% already had some level of lactic acidosis before even getting admitted to the hospital?
Ray Peat: Yeah, I think the lactic acid is starting with endotoxin. Lactic acid produced under the influence of endotoxin becomes the agent of all of the problem symptoms. Blood clotting, increased serotonin effects of all sorts, inflammatory, swelling, congestion, edema of the lungs and the brain, all of those things are activated by the lactic acid.

Lingering sinus symptoms and endotoxin? Maybe the old horseradisch peroxidase treatment wouldn't hurt?
Sorry to quote Nate here again but at least he supplied some instructions:

@BioEclectic @BioEclectic Thank you! I watched a video interview today and Nate mentioned the horseradish peroxidase but never got around to it again and I really wanted to know what that was about. What a nice coincidence!
-
@S-Holmes
NP, very welcome.I had actually performed a protocol for 10 or so days last year, then did it every second or third day till the bottle was nearly finished. I didn't have any endotoxin concerns but had always wondered about my sinus cavities, a just in case thing.
-
@BioEclectic I definitely have sinus issues (my entire life) and had a CT scan on my sinuses (head) last week. Blood work, many doctor visits (likely futile) and possibly surgery are in my near future. It would be amazing if these easy hacks take care of the problem! I'm also going to ramp up the sodium acetate.
