Ok, so here are the
concept protocols for prevention and then treatment. By "concept protocols", I mean that this isn't a prescription or even a suggestion for anyone to do anything. It is what we are doing, and we feel that perhaps one may find a few things of interest for individuals to research further. Let this be the START of research efforts, not the end!
Dr. Myhill has pioneered an excellent preventative protocol that involves using a ceramic salt pipe spiked with the appropriate amount of Lugol's iodine, for prevention. As well as strongly recommending this practice, we have a dedicated page for this:
https://www.earthcures.org/forum/index.php/topic,172.0.html - How to take care of sinuses (the virus usually FIRST attaches to mucus membranes in the nasal cavity), throat, lungs and nose. People are thusfar reporting EXCELLENT benefits of using the ceramic salt pipe protocol.
Daily, 2 grams of (preferably liposomal) vitamin C to 5 grams of vitamin C daily for maintenance. You'll see a lot of repetition and discussion about Vit C.
NOTE (see info later in this thread): Using LIPOSOMAL Vitamin C may give a person a method of overcoming the one hour per gram limit. No matter how much a person can "tolerate" or take "regular", water soluble vitamin C, the body can only absorb one gram per hour. Any excess consumed helps to flush out the digestive tract.
There is a case to made that a person may be able to easily tolerate two grams of liposomal vitamin C every thirty minutes (hence, 4 grams in an hour). We've actually updated this post to include research that states that the body can tolerate up to 100 grams of liposomal vitamin C.
Read about how the Chinese Government now officially recommends vitamin C therapy both for prevention and treatment of COVID-19:
www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/shanghai-government-officially-recommends-vitamin-c-covid-19.2We now have a separate topic thread for Vitamin C and COVID-19:
https://www.earthcures.org/forum/index.php/topic,174.0.htmlVitamin D is ****critically important**** for preventative care, for both the flu and for COVID-19. Supplement ranges would be anywhere between 1,000 units and 10,000 units. We recommend D3 with K2. Please see our new dedicated page on Vitamin D:
https://www.earthcures.org/forum/index.php/topic,188.msg577.html#msg577Getting tested is the best way to determine how much D to supplement with!
We needed to add in that people should also be sure that they are getting adequate amounts of magnesium. A proper mineral supplement should have the proper amount of magnesium, but many people are magnesium deficient, and may require more. See this link for information on how magnesium protects the body from virii and cytotoxicity:
https://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1038/nri3501A full macro mineral supplement which includes things like zinc and selenium (at standard recommended doses). Zinc lozenges can also be used, just don't overdose on the zinc. Zinc is one of the best defenses against viral infections.
A macro mineral formula is easy to select/find. It can even be a simple run of the mill off the shelf mineral supplement. For trace minerals, it's great to use things fulvic/humic acid, nine times roasted bamboo salt, a bit of edible clay, etc... but again, getting fancy isn't necessary.
2 capsules of olive leaf extract with meals (2-3 TD)... with 500 to 750 mg capsules. EastPark Research is the highest quality manufacturer, with a patented extraction process. It is expensive. I keep a normal run of the mill olive leaf extract to use regularly, and save the Eastpark Research product for situations where I believe I've been exposed, or for when I experience symptoms.
During any situation where I think I've been exposed or am at risk for any illness, we take
One ounce of EIS/colloidal silver twice daily, orally - It is best to hold it under the tongue and allow it to mix with saliva (rich with metalloproteins that protect things like silver ions) for a few minutes before swallowing.
See the section below on how to use silver for the acute phase of any respiratory infection.
NOTE: Silver can slowly build up in the body over time. Even with properly made, safe, EIS formulations, you run the risk of developing argyria after 20-30 years of daily use. This is why we don't use it as a general/regular use supplement. But, even taking one ounce of a high quality EIS product, daily, for 30 years will likely pose NO increased risk for argyria. There is no need to fear using quality silver for acute illnesses. For example, I have been using it as needed for about 22 years now. The only permanent side effect has been an immense amount of gratitude. We just need to use some common sense!
We always drink plenty of great, clean water and get plenty of rest, and manage all stress! Balance hydration and electrolytes as a first priority! If this is not in place, then nothing else matters!
Simple things help: We keep inflammation low with diet and exercise. There are awesome Qi Gong routines out there, some even for strengthening lungs. Walk daily. If you have access to fresh air and sunlight, enjoy it! We eat low dairy. We eat low sugar. We eat a low amount of simple carbs, but not always! We eat an appropriate amount of animal protein (based on the clinical science of Dr. Terry Wahls, a functional medicine medical doctor).
As far as diet is concerned, eating habits are critically important to gut health, and gut health is critically important to how the immune system functions. An abundance of the right amount of fiber will greatly mitigate the risk of having a cytokine storm with COVID-19. In fact, the ACE2 receptors that the coronavirus latches on too exist in abundance in two places: The lungs, and the gut. Diarrhea is actually often one of the very first symptoms of COVID-19.
As far as immune system function goes, the microorganisms of the gut -- of the microbiome-- digest the fiberous food that you've eaten, and produce and release short chain fatty acids. These same fatty acids are found IN THE LUNGS where they help marshal CD8 T cells, which are the exact cells you want present to help fight infections!
Above, "edible clay" is listed as a potential trace mineral supplement. But now that we're examining gut function and the immune system, clay is well known to vastly improve gut function, as a true homeostatic substance. As an actual food, a person can even simply take 1/4 tsp of clay in a bit of water during or after meal time.
To be clear, it doesn't take much clay at all to aid in general digestive system health!
Finally, considering the extraordinary value of raw vegetation for gut health, Dr. Wahls recommends between 6 and 9 total cups daily of a specific, but wide variety of fiber-rich foods. However, we know that there are individuals that have too much digestive system damage to tolerate raw vegetables, some even cooked vegetables.
Physiological dose of Melatonin: 0.2 milligram to 0.5 milligram per day - Taken 2-3 hours after the last meal, and before bed. This is more important then it may sound! Don't worry about the "physiological dose", you can take the daily recommended amount as a supplement at night.
Irrigate the sinuses daily with a sinus irrigation system or Neti Pot. Ideally, this should be done once one is home for the rest of the day (afternoon/evening). After 30 minutes or so,
use a sea salt inhaler with iodine added (3-5 drops). Take in about ten to fifteen sniffs/breaths to coat the nasal passageways with iodine.
You can use the sea salt inhaler with iodine several times per day to protect the nasal passageways with iodine. There are many different ceramic inhalers for sale at places like Amazon.
SPECIAL NOTE: Use iodine only as directed by Dr. Sarah Myhill's protocol/instructions (give here). You do NOT want to use iodine in a nebulizer, or do anything to get ***too much*** iodine into the lungs. At higher concentrations, it first becomes an irritant, and then it becomes dangerous. Used as directed, it is very safe and effective. Also, be certain that you are not allergic to iodine before using it!
To repeat once again, we now have a whole thread on the sinuses, throat, ears and lungs:
https://www.earthcures.org/forum/index.php/topic,172.0.htmlAgain, an ounce of protection... and the secret to most acute illnesses is prevention, plus immediate, swift, action when symptoms first appear!
Be prepared, and it is wise to already be familiar with how your body responds to everything... before you get ill!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MOMENT one notices symptoms, we always act aggressively. Experience helps, and already being familiar with the substances to use and the treatment methods. It's so much easier to act swiftly if you aren't fearful and doubtful of the treatments and therapies one plans o n using!
As SOON as one feels a tickling in the throat-- or irritation-- it is good to treat the sinuses as documented, but more importantly, we gargle often with a diluted 10% betadine solution. Betadine should be available at any drug store. Simply dilute it, one part Betadine to 20 parts distilled water or EIS/colloidal silver.
When the "flu" (or any similar virus) hits and becomes symptomatic, a person usually only has a very, very short window of opportunity to avoid the illness. Please keep in mind that when a person first starts experiencing symptoms with systemic viral infections, millions of copies of the virii are in the process of replicating at an exponential rate. Even if you deactivated each copy of the virus, the body is still going to have to do a bunch of clean up work.
This is ***new*** information and may be critically important. According to one doctor from China, based on autopsies conducted on those who have died from the disease... COVID-19 produces a very thick and sticky mucus that actually begins to solidify. This would explain the dry cough. The body knows that mucus is being produced, but it is not capable of expelling it. The doctor stated that once a person is hospitalized, the doctors can break this mucus down, but it takes them three or four days... that is three or four days that 20% of the ill may not have!
This means that immediately at the onset of any respiratory symptoms, an anti-mucus protocol needs to be put in place. I can't stress enough how life saving and valuable Seaprose-S (SEAXYM time release with the proper co-factors) is. It needs to be maintained for at least two weeks.
The most potent is our "Hot Shot Brain Fog Slayer".
There is a tutorial available:
https://www.earthcures.org/hot-shot-juice.phpNote that this may be too powerful for some people! Some people may only be able to keep the formulation in the mouth, and then spit it out.... if it causes explusion/purging, coughing, etc. there is no NEED to swallow it. It is better to swallow it, but only after 3-5 minutes.
This formula requires juicing experience, including how to safely handle and store perishable juices. Of course, an industrious/creative individual can look at the ingredients and adapt. For example, a garlic tincture can be used in place of garlic juice... Just keep in mind that the tinctures are not nearly as effective as the juices.
In this situation, what we are looking for is for the formula to act as a catalyst which spurs the body into action. It is like a wake up call. It should... either quickly, within seconds, or more slowly, within 20 minutes... cause the body to expel mucus, increase circulation, and even increase tissue oxygenation.
Whatever a person does, it needs to be effective for that person. Get the lungs clear early, and keep them clear. Drink warm liquids, hydrate, hydrate hydrate. Remember, that dry cough likely indicates an emerging and serious problem with mucus that person may not even think is present!
Moving on:
The body should ****already**** be well adapted to olive leaf extract, so when a person needs it, one can take larger doses without fungal die off.
As soon as symptoms appear, take 3-5 capsules of olive leaf extract, 4-6 times daily. Essentially, a person should be dosing very close to tolerance levels. This has been my personal strategy, and I haven't gotten the flu in 20-25 years or so. I feel something coming on, I hit it with OLE, and it never develops into anything.
As soon as a fever appears, with any virus that affects the lungs, a person should nebulize EIS/colloidal silver (please don't use high ppm silver compounds!!!) as much as hourly during the acute phase. Sometimes, I might even nebulize for five minutes every half hour. The best type of product would be an EIS made up predominantly with silver ions, 20-23 PPM... and mix into that, RIGHT before nebulizing, about 5 PPM of silver nanoparticles, ideally in the 2 nm range (but no larger than 20 nm). Doing this "mix" can result in doubling the effectiveness of the therapy (see the science about silver ions and nanoparticles referenced below).
See the information posted later about the importance of irrigating the sinus cavities with a saline (salt) solution. We even suggest considering the use of salt with baby shampoo, to irrigate the sinuses. The baby shampoo quickly breaks down any biofilm in the sinus cavities.
A person should perpetually flush the system with an electrolyte-rich, clean drinking water. Even just a splash of lemon juice in each eight ounce glass of water.
Get the basic, core protocol down and working before making additions, as each addition can pose potential issues for some people!
More herbs can be used if desired, such as one capsule of oregano oil (with food), or such as elderberry syrup or tea. One doesn't want to make a person sick with herbs and compound the issues. OLE is my go to because of the vast amount of evidence and experience with these types of conditions.
One of the methods I strongly suggest considering: Steam Vapor Inhalation Therapy, with herbal oils. One can use the famous Thieves Oil in vapor form (breathing steam therapy) along with Wormwood (Artemis) added, two to three times a day, or any blend of essential oils known for lung health and/or with anti-viral properties. To do this is quite simple. Boil a pot of water, and while it is boiling, put 3-5 drops of essential oils into the boiling water, and then inhale the enriched steam. Please be smart and use a common sense approach!
Garlic and cayenne are also excellent, but again, only with individuals that have already adjusted the body to their use.
Take one vial (orders always come with a nice dosage vial) of nine times roasted purple bamboo salt per day. This is done by dissolving a small amount of salt crystals on the tongue, throughout the day. I consider nine times roasted bamboo salt to be among the top five supplements I use on a regular basis. It is sulfur rich, requires no digestion, is pre-ionized, and alkaline... an amazing antioxidant that benefits one's health on so many different levels.
In serious, acute cases, do a therapeutic clay gel pack on the forehead. Remove in 45 minutes, notice changes in texture and smell. This is more of an Ayurvedic method of treatment. Repeat, ESPECIALLY when/if the clay pack smells bad. Keep applying until the person shifts from being in distress to peaceful/resting.
Lastly, you can do further modifications of all of that drinking water one MUST be drinking when ill. For example, you can make/use molecular hydrogen water.
UPDATED: Now, even Dr. Mercola and Dr. Klinghardt are recommending medical ozone therapy to treat COVID-19, based most likely on the reported success stories of Dr. Rowen.
While ozone rectal insufflation 2-3 times daily while acute is by far the best method, drops of H2O2 can be added to drinking water. Look up one of the thousands of dosage charts out there depending on the strength of H2O2 that a person is using, but make sure to dose WITHOUT compounding the illness with brand new and unrelated detox reactions. For me personally, I would easily do 6-11 drops of 35% H2O2 in each glass of water without experiencing anything but wonderful things.
H2O2 is a great choice, but really only for those who know their tolerance levels. The science of using ozone is exacting, and the clinical research has been done (mostly in Germany/Europe) to establish ideal dosage levels. Because of this, researchers know the exact concentration and amounts to use both safely AND effectively. Since H2O2 therapy has always been controversial according to mainstream medicine, there has not been enough clinical research done. Users are on their own to figure out dosing to find the ideal treatment.
Ozone therapy should be the primary bio-oxidative therapy chosen, if at all possible! You can almost get the same results as IV use, and without damaging the veins.
We think that rectal insufflations, done every 3-4 hours, 3 to 4 times daily, will have the greatest impact on COVID-19.
That said, if you combine ozone rectal insufflation therapy WITH nebulizing EIS/silver having cleared any mucus out of the lungs, you can successfully direct treatment from within the body (blood stream), and from "without" (the airways), in effect reaching both sides of the lungs.
healthimpactnews.com/2020/dr-rowen-ozone-reverses-critically-ill-covid-patients-in-china-and-very-rapidly/
Troves of books have been written about the value of oxygen-based therapies. I won't go deeply into them, but I will say activated oxygen's effect on the immune system as a whole is as equally valuable as is the direct "killing power" of the activated oxygen.
NOTE: Here, I am assuming that if you have ozone equipment, you know how to use it! For example, it is counter productive do the ozone therapy while at the same time doing antioxidant therapy (like vitamin C). Do them at opposite times. Allow for at least an hour after doing ozone before "mopping up" with things like vitamin C therapy!
Now, a person should already have experience with all of this stuff. The time to learn about them, and how they react with a person's body, is long BEFORE getting an illness. If not, the best a person can do is prioritize, get the basics down, then learn and grow from there.
Keep in mind that hospitals are almost useless for these acute viral conditions. The only thing they can really do is run a hydration IV and treat symptoms. The biggest thing they have: Ventilators and pure oxygen.
The idea is to NOT let your lungs get compromised enough to need emergency attention, and stay hydrated as a priority.
Read the other information above and below (silver, h2o2 and the ears, etc.), and check out the link(s). I'm always posting updates as I learn more.
Lastly, I will state that one of my teachers, when getting the flu, would use a tabletop ozonator, attach it to the shower head with a rubber band, and take nice long showers with ozone-infused steam... using ONLY very low concentrations of ozone. He swore by it, I haven't seen enough evidence of efficacy compared to other methods, but why not? (if you are NOT ozone-sensitive, some people have very low tolerances). If you have unit, put it to use. I used to love taking ozonated clay baths three or four times weekly
Above all, do no harm and be wise!
