I thought it might be useful and helpful to show what I'm currently taking by way of supplements, nutrients etc to avoid COVID-19 infection. There are two parts to my own current therapy.
The first part are therapies that stop you getting infected. The second part is what I would supplement if I do get infected.
I live in the Philippines and, fortunately or unfortunately, we are in full lockdown now with only supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations etc open at the moment. To add to this problem, all retailer websites(local or otherwise) on the i/net are currently unable to consistently deliver goods purchased from these websites. So I can no longer reliably buy my nutrients/supplements online — I can only rely on what I already have.
Remedies that I'm currently taking to prevent infection:
BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) + Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)
I'm taking this once a day, first thing in the morning before food. The dosage is between 250mgs and 500 mgs per day. Do not take BHT dosages with food. I simply dissolve the correct amount of BHT powder in a tablespoon of Virgin Coconut Oil and take it like tha t(BHT is only soluble in fats or oils).
I then drink some coffee which also helps to accelerate BHT and VCO absorption into the body. Both the BHT and the VCO act in the same way to destroy the COVID-19 virus by fluidizing the virus' outer lipid envelope — this exposes the viral protein as foreign protein to the immune system which then automatically destroys it.
Another important property of BHT is that it is also able to penetrate the blood/brain barrier which means that BHT will also kill viruses in the brain, which must also help to lower the temperature of the brain(caused by inflammation) thus helping to also avoid high fever and coma.
I bought 500 grams of food grade BHT direct from an American-based chemical company(via the Lazada website) in the Philippines. It only cost me $12.73 for 500 grams of food grade BHT, which should give me more than 1000 daily doses of BHT(or about 3 years worth of daily BHT protection). I have also been taking BHT like this for over 3 weeks now without any side-effects or problems. And if I did become infected with COVID-19 I would continue taking the BHT at an increased dosage of 500 mgs three times a day outside mealtimes. For your reference — 1/4 tspn == 1000mg, 1/8 tspn = 500 mgs and 1/16 tspn = 250mgs.
Vitamin C
There is ample research proof that shows that Vitamin C helps to prevent colds and flu caused by viruses. I know this from Ted from Bangkok's EC posts and I have also read Linus Pauling's detailed book on proper Vitamin C usage. I'm currently taking 3gms of Vitamin C per day in separate one gram dosages. I take the alkaline form of vitamin C – 1000 mgs 3 times a day outside mealtimes. Per dose, just dissolve 1000 mgs or 1/4 tspn of vitamin C powder(as Ascorbic acid) in a half glass of water then just sprinkle in Sodium Bicarbonate(Arm & Hammer brand is fine) until the fizzing stops. Now you have the alkaline form of Vitamin C — Sodium Ascorbate — which Ted from Bangkok always recommends. More on this later. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to purchase any Lysine to take with the Vitamin C (that Ted recommends).
But I still have confidence on taking larger dose Vitamin C more frequently on its own(1000mgs Vit C taken 6 to 8 times per day at hourly intervals for COVID-19 pneumonia) which, from the current research, should also help fight the virus to heal or help prevent pneumonia. And from the video below, Vitamin C just on its own has already been successfully used in large dosages to successfully cure COVID-19 patients with complications in China. https://youtu.be/CkmDvl8gTpM.
Ted from Bangkok's Alkalizing Remedies
I am using Ted's Sodium Bicarbonate + water remedy as well as the Sodium Carbonate + Sodium Bicarbonate + Tripotassium Citrate remedy which is also called the carbicarb remedy.
In my last post, I also mentioned that, according to the Chinese research, hypokalemia (inadequate or low serum potassium) is indeed a serious symptom(which could cause coma and death) for people with COVID-19 infections.
For that I would simply take larger dosages of just tripotassium citrate on its own to ensure that intra-cellaluar levels of potassium are adequately maintained. From the Chinese research, patients with pneumonia complications were just given 3 gms of potassium salt to good effect. Interestingly, Ted from Bangkok has also recommended just taking tripotassium citrate on its own for cancer as well. This is because cancer loves sodium and hates potassium. This also seems to be the case with COVID-19 infections. Lagundi (Chaste Tree, Vitex negundo Linn.) This is a herb that is recommended by the Philippine government for bronchitis, colds & flu, respiratory problems, pneumonia, asthma, fever etc. A very useful herb. This herb is also regularly used in TCM and Ayurvedic herbal medicines but is little known in the West. I'm currently taking this herb in capsule form twice a day outside mealtimes.
Makabuhay(Heart Vine, Guduchi (Sanskrit), Giloy (Hindi), Tinospora cordifolia Linn.) + Chanca piedra (Bhumy Amalaki, Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) I
'm taking both these herbs, which both grow as weeds in my garden, in a combined decoction. Both these herbs have amazing health benefits. Both are anti-virals and anti-fever. Chanca piedra is also currently being researched for use against Hepatitis B and HIV. This is because Chanca piedra prevents viral reproduction by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase viral enzyme which is found in both the Hep B and HIV viruses. Some Indian research has also shown that COVID-19 virus has four HIV insertions that are concerned with viral injection into the host and viral replication. More recently, some Chinese research has also confirmed that these four HIV insertions do indeed exist in the COVID-19 virus. So it's perhaps a reasonable enough assumption that the COVID-19 virus also uses the reverse transcriptase enzyme for replication — which is the main reason I'm taking a decoction of both Makabuhay and Chanca piedra every day. By the way, the discovery of the HIV insertions also means that COVID-19 could not have evolved naturally — it must have been created in a lab to perhaps be used as a Bio-warfare agent — but that's another story for another day.
Remedies that I will take if I get infected with the COVID-19 virus:
The first thing I would do would be to appropriately increase all dosages in the above remedies.
The second thing I would do would be to nebulize 1% hydrogen peroxide at least three or four times a day to help protect my lungs. Hydrogen Peroxide kills all pathogens — including viruses — electrically and decomposes to oxygen and water which is also beneficial to the body.
I still have about 1/4 bottle of lugol's iodine left. I would use this to create one of Ted from Bangkok's famous healing remedies, which consists of the following: In a glass of water, add the following:
1. Add 1/4 tspn( 1000mgs) Ascorbic acid powder. Then add Sodium Bicarbonate until the fizzing stops. Now you have Sodium Ascorbate — the alkaline form of Vitamin C.
2. Add 6 drops of lugol's Iodine
3. Take this remedy 3 times a day outside mealtimes.
Why You Need to Take Vitamin C, Iodine and Sea Salt every day.
The simple answer is because you need to take them to provide the right ammunition for your immune system. The first line of defense for your immune system is using neutrophils and eosinophils etc in the external mucus to kill any viruses incoming in your nose, throat, lung and intestines.
It's also well known from the research that immune phagocytes kill pathogens — including viruses — by spraying certain poisonous substances over them to kill them. Then they are ingested by the phagocyte and removed by the liver. So, what substances does the immune system use to kill pathogens in the body? The immune system phagocytes mainly sprays out hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid and hypoiodous acid over the virus to kill it. How can we ensure that the ammunition for our phagocytes are at their correct high levels? In short, Vitamin C is very important and necessary for the production of hydrogen peroxide used by the phagocytes. Sea salt — or sodium chloride — is also important source of chloride for the production of hypochlorous acid. And lugol's iodine — via the thyroid — is important for the adequate production of hypoiodous acid.
In another research study I have also read that hypoiodous acid was 7 times stronger in its anti-microbial effect and protection than hypochlorous acid when used against pathogens. So if you're not taking adequate amounts of iodine, sea salt and Vitamin C in your diet then, if you get infected, your immune system might be firing blanks at the COVID-19 virus.
Right now, the best protection you have against the COVID-19 virus is your own immune system. That's really why you should always keep your immune system healthy and capable as described.
