The Queen brought some Moringa seeds from the Old Country. Quoting: darth I planted them down by our pond. They die every Winter when it freezes and some recover and grow from the roots. I asked my wife, "Is Moringa really healthy?" She replied, "Yes, my Grandfather put it in his pineapple wine and drank it every day." I asked, "Well, was he healthy?" She said, "He was 109, got drunk, and fell off his horse. That's what finally killed him". Other family member confirm the story. She cooks Moringa leaves with my eggs every morning. Don't think I will make it to 109, but you never know. Love it!! Make it to age 100 and then we can talk about a few more years! Bring a couple moringa plants indoors for the winter!

Does it address anything that might specifically prevent covid-19 components? Challenge to lungs, maybe? Quoting: Pooka So happy you recovered from being very ill. "Every time I became lucid" is very frightening! Thank the Good Lord you had those times, which led you to rehydrating in a big way. Otherwise . . . Laughing at you being Patient Zero, though it is not actually amusing. So dangerous, this stuff. What you did is obviously exactly the right thing. Glad your co-workers also recovered. Thank you for sharing this. Each of us should commit your experience to memory, just in case. There is no doubt in my mind that God Almighty had a purpose for me to survive this. I've been sick in my time but never like that. To lead me to know to embrace the fever, to have fluids nearby, to have taught me to hydrate... too many people died without this guidance. It's okay to laugh at me, I joke at myself. Many years ago I had the honor to be taught hydrotherapy at a school in New York. I hated the cold water treatments. But now I realize how important it is to stimulate our immune systems in the way that is needed. We all need to learn how to be medics in the upcoming crisis. "Yes, yes.

Fireworks time, the Fourth of July, is a good time to remember caring for your personal firefighting equipment as extinguishers and quantities of baking soda, hoses connected, etc. Now we have the threat of "demonstrators" attacking suburbs and country areas with fire and other means of assaulting and burning us out. Check the extinguishers you have, and purchase more if needed. Kitchen of course. Garage. In your vehicle. By your doors prepared to run to extinguish flames outside if going out is safe. These are wise precautions. Hope we all take them! Quickly!

Quoting: Lowkey Cyberpunk I was in no way laughing at you nor at your extreme methods which saved you! I merely laughed at coworkers calling you "Patient Zero" because you were the first one ill in your office. What you did was amazing. I suspect the rehydration was the greatest key. I know many people say, in reference to multiple illnesses, that they pulled up all the covers and "sweated it out". I don't know that I could do that, or would even think to do that. The automatic reaction to being too warm is to toss off the coverings, and I think that is what I would do, unless the fever was so high that it expressed itself in "chills". I'm thankful you had the pleasure of being taught the use of hydrotherapy in illness, so that you were able to save yourself in this extreme case! Yes, we likely must be our own medics very soon, and I hope many of us remember what you taught us in this post, so that we can save ourselves. Thank you for sharing with us all that you experienced!

If I was diabetic I would be putting a priority on getting healthier. Thank you for this!! I can easily understand why coming very, very harsh times would be terrifying for a diabetic, both in losing the medications they require daily to live, and for worries of injuries, even the severe stubbing of a toe, which could lead to death in only a couple steps.
