I did a bunch of research, if it makes you feel better. The spike protein IS damaging, but it’s in your body for an average of 10 days. Your body can easily recover from it. The “vaccine” has your body producing spike proteins, so you never recover.

Black seed oil,

Beet powder,

Vitamin D,

Vitamin C

Querticin and zinc

Aspirin

And for coughing, Walmart has Budesonide spray.

These are the things me and my wife took to get over COVID.

Elderberries are high in Quercetin, and are great with star anise, which has Shikimic acid, main ingredient in Tamiflu, apparently... The two together are a dynamic duo. And delicious.

When I read that the Chinese were buying out the world's supply of star anise for their bird flu treatment (this was 20 years ago) I bought five pounds of it. I've always thrown it in my Chinese chicken soup, which is full of medicinals and will cure what ails ye. Now have a gallon of star anise tincture. It lasts forever. White pine needle tea has shikimic acid, too. The MSM came out condemning it, so it must work.

Must look up a pine needle tea method-- as in when to gather and what parts. Tips, I'd imagine... I've been totally squirrelly with the pantry/supplies for months, thinking supply shortages, thinking long-term just in case scenarios. Looking at all the big jars is calming.

From my understanding it’s just white line needles. No age or season needed. Boil like tea. Super high in vitamin C.

I’m sitting on about 160 acres of pine, maple and oak. I could probably forage like a wild Indian and make it lol.

Recipe? We make chicken soup all the time, but I'd love to try yours, Keahi, if you can share?

Oh thanks for asking - I don't have a real recipe, it's pretty fast and loose. It's just regular ol' chicken soup but leave out the potatoes, wide noodles, etc., add soy sauce, Chinese vinegar or wine to taste (mirin or sake will do), bit of honey for balance, heavy up on your onions and garlic, add carrot, green onions and Chinese chives if you have them and LOTS of fresh ginger - I just put in many slices. Definitely want some shiitake mushrooms, I find that the dried work great, better than fresh here. Add chilis for extra healing and if you love them as I do - dried red ones, or fresh, and/or some spoonfuls of tuong ot toi (Vietnamese chili garlic sauce) which is pretty much the same as sambal oelek. You'll want lots of cilantro (we called it Chinese parsley when I was a child) to add at the last, and if you like, some lemongrass for a more southeast Asian taste. I put in dried jujubes, goji berries (also called wolf berries) and pieces of Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis, aka female ginseng), tulsi basil, also a stick of cinnamon and a few Szechwan peppers. If you have a slice or two of male ginseng or fo ti tieng (aka he shou wu) it would not go amiss here. I told you it was medicinal. Opt for whole herbs rather than the powdered form, it makes for a smoother taste. These spices and herbs are all up to you. As for veggies you can add Chinese (Napa) or regular cabbage, bok choy, choi sum, kim chi, turnip, baby corn, water chestnuts, lotus root, bamboo shoots, straw mushrooms, whatever you got. And last but not least, star anise. A must. You can add any sort of Asian noodles like soba, udon, etc. or rice noodles if you like. I usually don't. This is such a healing soup - cures the body and soul! Now I've got to go make some...

Wow! You could start your own restaurant, Keahi!

That's so sweet of you, Snow. I do cater. But I resist the restaurant idea, it's something I've flirted with but the hours suck, you get really grumpy, and they mostly fail. Hence the old joke - Q. how do you make a million dollars with a restaurant? A. Start with two million and get out early. And I love to cook, it's one of my greatest passions, but I want to choose to do it. If I were chained to it - well, each man kills the thing he loves.

I never knew that about anise. I’ll check that out. I use anise for bear hunting.

Star anise, not the European kind.

Star anise is different from the herb, although scent is similar:

Zinc of course. but you need something to help it absorb. I think Dr. Zelenko was recommending green tea extract (EGCG) for that purpose.

That, but he preferred Querticin. We used Zelenkos protocol. Plus other stuff I discovered and added to the mix.

Did not know that about Walmart and the Budesonide spray! Last year I got the Covid treatment pack from Seven Cells pharmacy and it included IVM, Z-pak and a methylprednisolone steroid taper pak. I employed all of them when my 15 year old got hit with his second round of Covid a few weeks ago. While my round was pretty mild (I took IVM only along with usual Vit. C and D), his progressed to a deep, chesty cough and he missed a whole week of school. I am a nurse and used my stethoscope to listen to his lungs which were always clear, but after that cough hung on for so many days, I finally just gave him the steroids and antibiotics - much improved after 24 hours. I was glad to have had them. I think I will order another treatment pack just to be on the safe side.

P.S. And if you really want to aggravate yourself, just do 30 minutes reading on what they knew about using steroids (both systemic and inhaled) to mitigate against serious illness and death with Covid. These people are responsible for countless deaths. Countless.

That’s how I found out about it. The “news” ran a story about Budesonide spray and great results in Australia.

I actually read the research, and it looked good.

Then the “news” started ignoring it, and downplaying it, and lying about it,

Then I saw others take note and do more studies, which proved its effectiveness.

When they downplay and discredit something, that's my cue to sit up and pay attention. How does Budesonide stack up against Xlear? I suspect the latter is more useful for staving off virus and bacteria, the former being more for an established case. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

for beet powder it is more effective for the body to make your own kvass (and delicious too if done right).

Thanks for your goodly post, Johnny. I think a lot of us have worried...I made up a big batch of fire cider, it's good medicine. A shot of whiskey never hurt, either, with some lemon juice and hot water and honey.

Shelagh Young's avatar

All of the above, yes. I make fire cider with elecampane-soaked raw honey and infused vinegars for extra extra immune support. And taste! Medicine can be much more than palatable. It can be fine cuisine.

Amen! I love the taste of astragalus root, I'll just chew on the stuff.

Shelagh Young's avatar

So many options! Angelica root same for me. Elecampane also has an interesting fruity/floral taste. They used to make candy with it to keep flus away, but preserving it in raw honey is a great way to use it.

Thanks for the location to buy Budesonide spray. I thought it was by Rx only.

It used to be prescription only, but it was so effective at treating COPD and other lung disorders, they took it off the list and made it OTC, years ago.
