When the China Flu was set loose on the world, I didn't know what to think. I listened to Fauci and the experts and gave them the benefit of the doubt a little longer than some folks, but right away I had a feeling the things they were saying did not quite add up. I put a pack of sanitary wipes in each car and masked up just enough to be able to do what I needed to do, but I never wore a mask correctly for any stretch of time. My wife and I got to work from home so that was nice, but we determined to live our lives as normally as possible.
We are in our late 50's and early 60's with no major health issues, and we are now retired. We eat what we want and drink plenty of beer. I routinely work in the yard in the hot Florida sun, or I do exercises and get on the treadmill, but not as consistently as I should. Yeah, I carry a few extra pounds right in the gut area which is what I call storage. My wife looks 12 years younger than she is and still rocks a bikini. She walks four miles a day or swims laps in the pool.
We calculated the odds and decided to keep on traveling at least once a month on short trips in the Southeast. We mostly stay in B&B's where we can interact with folks, go to concerts and shows, and have flown several times. All we do before and after each trip is drink an Emergen-C powder with vitamin D and Zinc to boost our immune systems. Earlier this year, we stopped masking altogether unless we absolutely had to do so. Masks don't work. Masks make you sick. We do not trust the virus tests or the vaccines either.
My greatest fear was not getting the virus but what treatment I would receive if I got it. In January, I had a routine visit with my doctor, so I asked him to tell me about the virus. When he was done, I asked him how he would treat me if I got the virus. He said that he would have me stay home and rest and monitor my symptoms. I asked him what about HCQ and ivermectin? He said, and I quote, "they do not work one bit, and I am as right wing as anybody," and he stormed out of the examining room. He was so mad that he didn't even charge me for the visit.
I went home and told my wife we were screwed, as she goes to the same doctor. I got on the doctor's website and learned that even though he is a single practitioner and his wife works in his office, his practice has been bought out by a larger group, and he is on some physician boards. Later, we attended a fundraising dinner, and I sat beside an older lady who told me that she knew a local doctor who would prescribe HCQ and ivermectin. I asked for his contact info and wrote it down on the program and put it in my stack of stuff.
Five weeks ago, my wife had a restless night and woke up coughing and horse. By the next day, she was feeling lousy with what seemed like a summer cold. Meanwhile, I had started running a fever which always does a number on me. Dayquil and Nyquil didn't work, and I could not break my fever which I ran for six days. We were getting worse, and I knew that I had to do something. I looked through my stack of stuff, composed an email to the doctor explaining our situation, and asked him to call me. He called me the same afternoon, and we had a thorough conversation. He told me to keep everything confidential, that he would not charge me, and to send him an email agreeing not to sue him which I did. He then sent me an email describing treatment in detail and called the following prescriptions in to CVS for both of us:
1) Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200 mg tablets (12) - take 2 tabs twice a day for first day, then 1 twice a day for 4 days.
2) Ivermectin 3 mg tablets (30) - take 6 tabs every day for 5 days.
3) Amoxicillin 500 mg capsules (30) - take 3 caps twice a day for 5 days.
4) Azithromycin 250 mg tablets (6) - take 2 tabs on first day then 1 per day for 4 days.
5) Dexamethasone 6 mg tablets (5) - take 1 tab each day for 5 days.
In addition, the doctor recommended taking 81 to 325 mg aspirin each day and to drink the Emergen-C powder each day.
I suspected that my insurance may not cover the HCQ and ivermectin, so before I left I looked through my stack of stuff and pulled out a Good Rx card that I had never used. With insurance, all the prescriptions were only a few bucks each except the Ivermectin, which was $97 per person. I presented the Good Rx card and got it knocked down to $49 per person. I got home and lined up all the drugs on the kitchen counter, and we started taking them. Within 24 hours of a full day's dosage of each drug, we started feeling better, and when we had completed the drugs, we had the Fauci bioweapon whipped.
The drugs will give you diarrhea, so we had to space them out with food. We did not take the aspirin, as we could barely handle taking everything else. We had a lot of fatigue and took up to two naps a day. We did not lose taste, but things tasted differently. I pushed myself and kept up with my daily chores but over did it several times working in the yard. My wife is back up to walking three miles most days. We have a nagging cough that is diminishing just as the doctor said. We are having trouble sleeping through the night, which my wife read can be a byproduct of the virus. Overall, we are almost back to normal.
1) This is how you treat and cure the damn virus.
2) Hope is not a strategy. Getting this shit and sitting at home hoping you get better is not a winning strategy. Do what I did and have a plan of winning action, even if you are vaccinated.
3) I hope you don't get the virus, but if you do, I hope this post helps you.
