Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they’re covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine whoa

Not vaxxed. First case was when it first hit in 2019 and second case was autumn 2021. So probably different variants.

What? How could people get this same virus multiple times? It’s immune to immunity? It defies science.

I got it in Feb/2020 and never got it again. (un-vaxxed)

Un vaxxed and had it 2 times. Orange juice and aspirin worked for me. Lost smell and taste the first time which was a bummer. Second time was a nasty cough. IF I have had it again, I didn’t know it.

Like I always say;

COVID-19(84) is an excellent dry run for the Mark of the Antichrist Beast

Their constant lying proves it

And it’s GLOBAL 🌎🌍

It does have the characteristics of a bad cold, yet each if the four times I’ve experienced altered taste and stomach problems which would not be typical of a traditional head cold. You might ask if it could be influenza but flu at this latitude in the middle of summer is unknown, unless someone brings it back from the southern hemisphere. This is the second infection I’ve had mid-simmer. Also, each of these cases has been accompanied by oddball cranial nerve things besides the taste disruption that you wouldn’t see in a cold. I have never replied on the PCR tests but look at the symptoms for diagnosis.

Never jabbed and finally got it March. 1 of this year. I ended up taking Paxlovid after my temp wouldn’t go down and, because of my age, I got a bit nervous. It was a miracle cure. Other than the fever, I just felt like I had the basic flu. For a few years, I have been taking the equivalent of Dr. Zalenko’s Z pack daily which I believe helped ward off the Covid for so long.

Glad you got over it and it didn’t morph into long covid.

Don’t think I had much of a fever this time (guessing 100°) but earlier had 103° for a short while. The fever is another symptom that can differentiate from a typical common cold.

The only people I know of who has had Covid more than once were vaxxed.

Agree. Case in point is me, long covid second infection in six months post injections. I thought i was going to Ireland, so got jabbed, but instead sick twice.

And i knew better than to think that Moderna Spikevax was actually a vaccine

I was never vaxxed and I had Covid at least twice starting in Feb 2020.

First time was pretty nasty with the shortness of breath. Walked 2 miles a day and got rid of it after several days.

Next time was again with a shortness of breath, but nowhere near as severe as the first time.

Might have had it a 3rd time too, but not sure.

Never went to any doctor or any other BS for it. Just treated it as a cold or flu and carried on as normal.

I'm sure each time I've had it was due to a different strain, but nowadays, that virus has mutated itself to a standard cold, so I just don't care anymore.

THIS STILL WORKS AS IT HAS BEFORE

ALTERNATIVE SAFE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR RESISTANCE UP & FIGHT COVID -19. AS WELL AS “VARIATIONS” AND A HOST OF OTHER INFECTIONS INCLUDING THE FLU. SO FAR, WHOEVER BEEN USING THIS REGIME, EITHER DID NOT CATCH THE BUG AND IF THEY DID; SHOOK IT OFF PRETTY QUICK.

THIS REGIME WILL “NOT” PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING THIS CRAZY VIRUS BUT IF YOU DO, IT WILL HELP TO SHAKE IT OFF FAIRLY QUICK, FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS SO WELL THEY DON’T EVEN FEEL THEY GOT IT. BESIDES IT WILL ALSO WORK AGAINST OTHER RELATED VIRUSES; NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WILL BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH AS WELL, IF YOU CATCH THIS VIRUS OR NOT. EITHER WAY YOU WIN. ALONG WITH IT YOU WILL HAVE ACQUIRED NATURAL IMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY SHORT OR LONG TERM ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS.

There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our immune system and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.

Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients SUGGESTED BY A PHYSICIAN to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also help you to overcome the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and protect you considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck. The CATCH is to have these vitamins/nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this virus, as time is of essence so your system starts fighting the virus BEFORE it gets a chance to do any damage.

A suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.

Vitamin D-3 — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment. For best results should always be taken with two to three times the amount of vitamin C. DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH ACETYL L-CARNITINE. AS A REMINDER, DO NOT LEAVE OUT NAC AS IT IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS REGIME.

Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections.

Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.

Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.

Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.

Quercetin — Quercetin is the most abundant dietary flavonoid, found enriched in cranberry, onions, blueberry, apples, and tea. As a polyphenol compound, it is ALSO considered a potent iron chelator. A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in a matter of speaking it will unlock the cells to let the zinc in where it can attack the virus . It is also a good pain killer and better for the human body than Aspirin, what helps to subdue arthritis pain. I is good for sinus infection, in other words if you happen to have a runny nose. Past studies have also shown that quercetin showed potent ability against some viruses, such as enterovirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.

LYSINE
When lysine blocks enzymes it inhibits the spread of the virus in the body by limiting the effect of weakening this connective tissue. An adult may take 2-3000 mg per day of lysine while trying to beat a virus.

SUGGESTED DOSAGE

All components as suggested are individually obtained and freely available and if used with some common sense are not harmful and if anything beneficial to your health. However it is a good idea and highly recommended to read up on each component, as there is plenty of information available on the internet. You may be surprised to find out and learn about the many benefits they provide to your health.
Here is a suggested approximate dosage for each.

Vitamin D-3 1500 IU

Malatonine 3mg to 6mg suggested about one hour before you go to sleep.

QUERCETIN 500 mg to 1000 mg

NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)

Zinc 50 mg

Vitamin C 1500 mg or MORE !! but always should be to two three times as much as NAC

LYSINE

1500 mg to 3000mg

Vitamin B complex

So far whoever has been taking this regime of supplements and may have had a brush with this virus, shook it off fairly easily and quickly and the most important thing was that in the process such a person also acquired natural immunity. Not only that but at the same time this regime also helps to ease the effects of the regular flu.

Good post.
I have been on that same vitamin regimen since April 2020 along with approx 25 friends/family members. All of us socially active...restaurants, church, weddings, travel, etc. In other words, we’ve not changed our lives the past year. Not a one of us has tested positive and not a one has even had a cold. I’ve added hydroxychloroquine 200mg each Sunday starting about 6 mos ago.

Excellent regimen. Pretty much what I’ve been doing. I have been taking 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day for years and have never been sick (thank you Lord). With the China Virus, I upped it to 10,000 iu. I think zinc and quercetin are the most important.

Been on similar regimens since August of 2020. Attended parties public events even a professional football game. Oh, and I fall in the high-risk category. Also posted recently about hearing friends and associates who’ve taken the jab complain about the after effects. Also note that my position would not recommend that I take this experimental vaccine.

My Doc put myself and EVERY patient he had on Quercetin, C, D3, Zinc, and NAC from day one he has not had ONE SINGLE patient catch this virus, I also put my 92 year old mom on it I NEVER miss a day!! My mom had a small stroke about 4 months ago neither of us vaccinated I had to take her to emergency and was worried because hospitals are an absolute petrie dish of germs we both spent 4 days in the hospital no masks in room AND we both came home just fine this supplement regimen works!!!

NAC is fabulous. I was suffering what I thought was Bronchitas for about two weeks. Might have been covid. Anyway a neighbor gave me a bottle and said to take two in morning and two at night. In one day Bronchitas was gone.

I have done this supplement regiment with my wife for two years now, going into our third soon. We are as ethnically different as it gets but we have flown 8 times and never missed a happy hour that was convenient, dined out constantly, visited family and lived our lives as normally as possible, perhaps even moreso.
I’ve had three bouts of illness impacting my ears and sinus, but I have a condition that makes that a normal event. It actually occurred less than normal than in the previous 20 years.We did not vaccinate for personal reasons. I credit blessings and the regiment of supplements in helping us avoid the chicom plague and pray it continues to do so.

When I got Covid, my doctor immediately put me on 10,000 IU’s of D3 per day even though I was already taking 5,000 per day. He also recommended NAC. I had never heard of NAC before he recommended it and he only recommended it because I have a bit of an issue with chronic bronchitis. Bought some NAC and have been taking it ever since. That stuff works PERIOD. I think that is why the FDA is bullying a lot of retailers (including Amazon) with fines and the such. So the retailer pulled the NAC from their shelves. Sad, because I really believe the reason the FDA is pulling it is because it WORKS!

I should be masking now. Any Covid-19 infection I would get should be minimal because I have a strong immune system and was boosted last April. Those who want to fight Covid-19 bare-back, should do everything to maximise their immune system: Do not smoke, drink excessive alcohol, get out of obesity, get some sleep, stay away from opioids, stay away from excessive amounts of sugar, eat a high fiber diet, learn stress management techniques, exercise, and don’t have sex that could cause HIV without taking a PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). Those who recommend supplements are giving a false sense of security to those who are fat, chain-smoking, drug-taking, crap-eating pigs.

Those taking anti-rejection medications might worry that they will get severe infections. This is not true. According to John Hopkins, such drugs might have a protective effect by preventing the inflammatory storm sometimes associated with severe COVID-19. At any rate, vaccinations provide an extra bit of protection.

Even after “boosted,” there is the possibility that I can spread the virus even with a slight, short lasting, infection. The “jab” is meant to keep you out of the limited treatment capacity of the ICU with a lesser infection with a faster recovery rate. That possibility also makes me want to wear a mask to protect others. And, who wants to have a hose plunged down their throat in the ICU?
