Normal supplementation has not been shown to boost immunity beyond dietary needs BUT large doses at the first sign of infection HAVE been shown to help fight viral infections quite a bit (and for many days after). Most of the studies revolve around sepsis but advanced SARS or ARDS lead to sepsis so are relevant/related. BTW - Most studies involve IV doses and it's debatable as to whether oral dosing is effective but it certainly couldn't fucking hurt. (BTW - it actually won't hurt. Side FX minimal at best and even at mega doses, amount to nothing more than an upset tummy.) Last Edited by GalaxyGirl on 03/26/2020 12:06 AM What we don't know, would fill a small universe.

But we don't all fit the same mold. I think I have all the items you mentioned, and will keep your advice in mind if any of us show symptoms. Just found out today that we have (had) 4 confirmed cases in my town - I say had becasue the first case - confirmed last week - died this past Monday! The new case, confirmed today, is a female in her 20's. Hubby and I are in the high risk group, so knowing I have some good tools in the medicine cabinet makes me feel better. Thanks for taking the time to share. I hope you continue to improve and return to normal soon! TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch |

No evidence to support any of this Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73571217 Yeah, no I get it. It all sound like bullshit woo BUT there are a number of new studies supporting it. I put all the citations together here (wasn't planning on sharing since it might expose me a bit, but whatever) and as you can see, I cited every single assertion regarding EO's.

I am weirdly good at researching random crap and since I have asthma/dysphagia was looking into some of this before all the Covid-19 shit started up. When it did, I doubled down on researching it. Especially when I started getting sick. Anyway, as for the negative Nancy stuff about people here being hateful, I just, man, when I do pop over and lurk here I see all sorts of stuff about liberals needing to die and God knows what else. I usually just pop back over to Twitter at that point :) I really miss Elaine and Kent and ghosts and UFO's and the usual woo but Godlike is what it is now. Anyway.... Glad you have the stuff on hand :) I really, really, super hope you don't catch anything but if so, I hope something I posted helps. Best of luck to you and yours!

And yes, ginger and turmeric seem to have worked for me for a number of years now, against all kinds of flues. Trick is to take it as soon as one notices the very first symptoms.

(OP) User ID: 72733592 United States 03/26/2020 12:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks! Glad to hear it. I should add that it's probably best to NOT take Naproxen until symptoms start. It does have an immunosuppressant effect and you do want your immune system working full speed when it first comes in contact with the virus. But, when your fever spikes or you start to have pain/ inflammation, totally start taking it (and other stuff). Best of luck to you! What we don't know, would fill a small universe.

User ID: 78671948 United States 03/26/2020 12:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got through a weird chest cold 18 months ago once the doc prescribed Prednisone for 5 days. It just went POOF. And I was on a nebulizer and felt like I had a chest full of sticky spider webs. Could have been asbestos over exposure since a nearby demolition was taking place about a week before. Not seeing Prednisone in the news as a treatment, but that was the cure when I could barely catch my breath awhile back...

Ah well...not allergic to plaquenil, thankfully! Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

(OP) User ID: 72733592 United States 03/26/2020 12:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | do you take all the vitamins and herbs now or wait till you have symptoms? Quoting: magagirl 78591517 Depends on what you're taking. For the stuff I've mentioned, Naproxen and Vitamin C should only be started after you've started showing symptoms. Other stuff like Frankincense, Milk Thistle, etc, are fine to take before hand and during. Like I said though, it depends. If you're curious about something in particular, let me know and I can look into it further for you. What we don't know, would fill a small universe. Hell, it would fill 50 large multiverses.

I have an order for Turmeric powder on the way but haven't added it yet myself. Have been adding about 1/8 tsp of Ginger to my powders though (Reishi, Dandelion root, Licorice root). Anyway, as for the other comment. I am a liberal. I've seen the hateful posts on Godlike towards Democrats and liberals and haven't posted in years thanks to the venom spewed by some. But I figured on this, fuck it. Politics doesn't matter here.
