I hesitated, posting here. Godlike has long been overtaken by the most hateful, extreme, elements of the uber RW. I don't post here and only occasionally check in. But, I've been researching Covid-19 for myself, my children and everyone else...
What I've found is beyond simplistic and I am only sharing because I know you all have families and many have children or elderly you can help.
You know how they keep telling you to avoid ALL NSAID's?
It's bullshit.
Ibuprofen may very well cause issues for people RE: coronavirus BUT not all NSAID's are alike.
Naproxen has not been shown to cause issues with Covid-19 and in fact, has been shown in numerous studies to work as an effective antiviral against RNA virus', like the new coronavirus. Luckily, it's even been shown effective at normal dosing ranges (2-8mg/kg/day OR 220mg to 700mg if 200lb [roughly]).
Of course, it's only one tool you need in your toolbox but it's an important one. Not only has it not been shown to worsen Covid-19, it is an effective anti-inflammatory, does not increase viral shedding and while it may be an immunosuppressant, that might not be a terrible thing here since an overblown immune response is partly what kills you.
In addition, you should also be taking Milk Thistle to avoid the fibrosis associated with this disease and if you can get it, Licorice root, Frankincense and any other antifibrotic substance you can obtain OTC.
For other antiviral's, which you will need, I suggest a combo of any of the following:
Woat root/ Banlangen / Isatis root (the tea is hard to find but worth it)
Ginger
Turmeric
Garlic
(Google anti-viral herbs for more)
If you do get a lung infection, you will need essential oils to fight it. Frankincense, Lavender, Tea Tree, Sage and Eucalyptus will all help lower inflammation, help you breathe better and also help fight the virus in your lungs (you'll need them all). Direct vapor inhalation is the safest route though nebulization would be more effective. Volatile oils lose efficacy fast so repeated dosing is needed.
There are obviously hundreds more things out there that could help, but these will help with the worst of it.
If you are feeling sick, still take ten tons of OTC cold meds. Still call your doctor. But add the shit above on top. It really will help. I've been battling symptoms for weeks and I am still alive. Today is the first day I didn't feel like total dog shit. Honestly, I just got my Ban lan gen tea a few days ago and started taking Naproxen a few days ago but the addition of the two seems to have really helped.
Anyway, like I said, I'm sure most of you would piss on my grave but I know you have loved ones and I have to put this out there. Best of luck to all of you. Seriously.
Quoting: GalaxyGirl You do realize that Twitter is one of the most severe left wing echo chambers there is on the internet right? Any right wing belief is almost immediately met with extreme malice there. It isn't even remotely middle of the road, it isn't reality, and it isn't anywhere close to loving and tolerant of other beliefs, so get off your high horse because if you feel at home there, you are not one ounce better than any person on GLP or anywhere else. The far left is just as much of a complete joke as the far right is.
The only reason GLP now has a lot of right wing leaning posters, is because the left has been systematically trying to rid the world of them and their beliefs. They have been kicked off of many other platforms, had funding sources taken away, etc. Right wing people are labeled as hateful, nazis, white supremacists, idiots, anti-immigrant, homophobes, religious tards, etc. every day by the bulk of Twitter and the entire MSM. Many congregate on GLP because it is one of the only places left where they can exist in relative peace.
GLP is also full of very smart people. We don't need to be saved by you and your superior ideas and knowledge. I personally hold some right wing beliefs and I also have some left wing beliefs. I don't blindly trust the medical system and I own my own nebulizer and I research vitamins, minerals, and herbs to take all the time. I take care of those older than myself, and I have been testing, researching herbs, oils, vitamins, minerals, and their dosages, for years now and doing serious coronavirus specific research for going on three months now. I'm not even remotely the only one here doing that. Nothing you have said in your post is anything that hasn't been said by someone on GLP many times in the past, so quit acting like you are a pure light of truth, braving the dark depths of GLP to hopefully bring light to the lives of family members of right wing idiots. Give me a break. Can you even tell how arrogant and self-righteous you sound?
Next time, just write a thread about what you want to share and you will be part of the solution instead of just one more disappointment in a world already full of complete disappointments.
As a final note to prove my point OP, how would you feel if I went on Twitter and said that I want to share some stuff with you all but I am hesitant to do it because Twitter is just completely full of extreme left wing hate mongers that care about nothing but gender reassignment and don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. That's exactly the sort of thing you did here. Do you actually think you are tolerant at all? What about tolerance for right wing ideas? Everyone is tolerant of ideas that they agree with, so that isn't really tolerance at all. Feel free to pick up your shit and go bak to your Twitter echo chamber, and don't forget to pretend you are the real victim while doing it.
