With Covid, time is of the essence. Wait for active symptoms to start buying your symptoms and you might as well not take any at all – you’re behind the eight ball at that point. People frequently ask: What should I get now to prepare for the next active infection?
This is a “minimum list” that everyone should have ready in their cabinet, before Acute Covid happens. Note that this is just a bullet-point list – for crucial explanations about why you need the below (and thereby understanding how to use them) visit www.longcovidx.com and get a hold of “What the Hell is Long Covid.”
Why prep this package now? To understand why timing is of the essence, read the latter-mentioned book. Especially if you have Long Covid symptoms, however, you’ll need to actively monitor for a Covid infection – getting a new one will set you back months, or worse (so far this year I’ve had seven – and I believe most people have had a similar number, they just don’t realize it).
———–
Dandelion leaf: Natural analogue to Ivermectin (Chicory as well, but not nearly as potent)
Ivermectin: prescription only.[1] Find a Doctor you trust.
Cinchona Bark + Tincture: Something like: link 1 [$17], or make your own tincture from something like this [$17 + cost of alcohol (I’d suggest Everclear) or glycerin if appealing to younger tastes]. The latter should give you quite a bit more. Personally, I like the idea of my Cinchona coming from South America, vs. Mexico, but I haven’t found any that are comparable in price. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL (especially with young adults or children should you choose to dose them) – Quinine toxicity can kill or maim. Research dosage (as with all supplements, but this especially)!
Drug analogue: Hydroxychloroquine
Quercetin: Something like this: link.[2] [$31] Natural sources are onion or elderflower (elderberry as well, but less) tincture – easier than buying a supplement!
*note: as with most supplements, there’s a reason and a balance for how the Quercetin is found in living things. Don’t take a Quercetin without vitamin C, NAC, or some oxidizing stabilizer (e.g. an onion, lol) because Quercetin will quickly oxidize and have the opposite effect of what you want.
Apigenin: Something like this: link. [$13] You’ve probably never heard of this one, but trust me, it’s absolutely essential – if I had one Covid supplement, this would be it. Natural sources are (optimally dried) parsley or chamomile.
Zinc: Something like this: link [$10][3]. Natural sources are Oysters, Beef, and pretty much nothing else.
B-Complex Vitamin: Something like this: link. [$20]
NAC: Something like this: link. [$20] Natural sources are meat.
Melatonin (optional): Something like this: link. [$10][4]
Niacin (optional): Something like this: link. [$15][5] Natural sources are fish and meat.
Green Tea: We like San Francisco Herb Company’s (and you can also get Cinchona Bark in the same order; but watch out they get you on shipping).
DMSO: Something like this: link. [$23] My personal favorite – requires a bit of experimentation, but it’s worth it when you figure out what works for you.
~TOTAL: $175
[1] Except for several states where you can find it OTC (well, that, and pretty much anywhere in the world except the U.S., go figure).
[2] Note: I’ve tried the Sandhus Quercetin, and I haven’t been impressed; it gives both me and my wife nausea.
[3] I’d recommend Zinc Picolinate – you can skimp and get Walmart stuff (Zinc Gluconate) for $5, but it halves the absorption.
[4] I’d recommend this brand, based on 3rd party lab tests I’ve seen. Also, this one’s optional – apparently does a lot of good and helps you sleep, which Covid disrupts.
[5] NOT Niacinamide, or “Flush-Free” stuff. Also, you probably only need this if you have Long Covid/Exhaustion symptoms. Otherwise, you can just eat some Tuna and be fine.
