I had the rona. Early 60’s & obese. Was also on Quercetin, zinc, selenium, 10K IU of D, and other supplements every day. Four days of bad headaches & every joint hurt like they had arthritis. Two months of being winded walking. Aaaand…done.

Still take all the above. Keep a tube of the horse dewormer handy just in case. Actually took it as a prophylactic shorty after my rona episode as I was getting on a plane— just in case.

BTW, re: dewormer paste. I had had a dry eye condition for easily 10 years. My oil ducts in my lashes were compromised by some sort of infection that some very expensive drops did nothing to fix.

So, figuring IVM prevents River Blindness, I’ll try a bit of the gel along my eyelashes. (I had already done my due diligence). Sun of a gun if that did not resolve my decade+ issue with only a few applications.

No jabs for me!

Please read the research articles cited at: "What every MD, immunologist, virologist and epidemiologist should know about vitamin D and the immune system" https://vitamindstopscovid.info/05-mds/ .

For the great majority of people, who have not been taking proper amounts of vitamin D3 (e.g. 01.25mg 5000IU for 70kg 154lb bodyweight) and have not had lots of UV-B skin exposure in the last month or so, the most important early treatment is to boost 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels to at least the 50ng/ml 125nmol/L levels the immune system needs to function properly.

Ordinary D3 intakes take 2 months or so to do this. Bolus D3, such as 10mg 400,000IU is much better, but it still takes days to attain the required level, due to the need for it to be hydroxylated in the liver. The best approach is a single oral dose of calcifediol (the pharma name for 25-hydroxyvitamin D) backed up by continuing D3 supplements. 1mg for 70kg bodyweight does the job in 4 hours. This is 0.014mg per kg. Calcifediol is non-prescription in the USA and Australia. All the details are at https://vitamindstopscovid.info/04-calcifediol/ and with Prof. Sunil Wimalawansa's recommendation: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sunilwimalawansa_multisystem-inflammatory-syndrome-mis-activity-6815294839769436160-99qJ/ .

After that, I think melatonin, ivermectin, zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins and probably quercetin are the most promising early treatments. But the most urgent early treatment for most people is to ensure their immune system has the autocrine (inside each cell) signaling molecules it needs, by boosting 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels over 50ng/ml ASAP.
