The next day it seemed over so I did an hour of exercises. The following day I relapsed and was sneezing and blowing all day, almost like I caught another bug. So I took another dose-and-a-half of IVM (2-12mg tablets) along with the nutraceuticals. The following day things didn't seem to be moving along as I had hoped so that evening I took a 200mg tablet of HCQ, because I didn't want too much time to pass during the viral replication phase. Also took 200mg at 7am and 7pm the two following days along with nutraceuticals. Day after third day on HCQ completely over. I mean completely over. Over and done with ever since.freeman » 31 Dec 2021, 11:12 pm » wrote: ↑That night my wife and I both woke up in the night with a little sore throat but plenty of sneezing and running nose. My wife never gets sick and I probably haven't seen her as sick as she got on maybe 2 or 3 other occasions in our 35 years of marriage.
Since I had taken the ivermectin 2 weeks prior and I wasn't that sick, I settled for 50mg zinc with 500mg quercetin and 10,000 units vitamin D in morning + multiple vitamin in the morning. 50mg zinc with 250mg quercetin and 5,000 units zinc evening. After a couple days it seemed to be lagging a bit so I took 24mg (dose and a half at my weight) ivermectin this morning along with the rest. Sniffled a little more today but it looks like it's over.
Since they are both safer than Tylenol or Benadryl and available OTC in much of the world, safety was not a concern of mine.
Next time I'll likely start with HCQ, and if that doesn't do it, the IVM is a little better for later treatment because it is also anti-inflammatory. I suspect we will always treat our colds this way. Wanted to buy a Walmart home test kit out of curiosity but apparently they won't be available. My wife even had throat symptoms as did our grandson so I suspect it was Omicron. If they are private, maybe I'll take a T-detect test at some point, to resolve my curiosity.
Kids, don't try this at home!
