I've been using Oil of Oregano for 5 years. I learned about it in 2019 when I got "something" like a flu. Knocked it out in 24 hours. Then in February of 2020 I got another "something", I suspect what that might've been as it was right after attending a funeral and I didn't take precautions back then and no one was testing. Again O of O, gone in 24 hours. Of course now I do ALL the things. But I believe O of O and some of these other supplements are a really important backup system!!!
Thank you! well researched and really appreciate you sharing this. I am not a doctor so do your own research and talk to medical professionals, but some herbal teachers have mentioned looking into the following: Baikal Skullcap (Chinese skullcap - antiviral and really protects against cytokine storm) - goes well with Kudzu. Andographis - super antiviral that may really help with stopping replication and kicking virus out. Whole body support herbs like Hawthorn and/or Red Sage root (Dan Shen), and/or Nattokinase for cardiovascular system (some are blood thinners so check with doctor), Reishi and Cordyceps mushrooms for supporting lungs (also anti viral), and Schizandra, Goldenrod and/or Bidens to support kidneys (if one has kidney disease, check with doctor). I suspect these might be good to have on hand for any Influenza outbreaks as well. Gotu Kola tea is helpful for brain health and circulation as well. Most of these are used as teas or tinctures. A good book is Antivirals by Stephen Buhner.
Maybe it's my age (mid-sixties) but in the mid-1960's, I got a whole pile of children diseases. I missed most of my grade 3, quarantined in my bedroom. Oh ya, that was fun wasn't it. No vaccines either.
Now it seems that we are in a repeat cycle of illnesses with parents ignoring vaccines. There's something wrong with that picture.
Thank you for gathering all this together. Buhner’s book on Herbal antivirals is excellent. I credit him with providing herbal advice online early in the pandemic that protected me from long term damage from Covid. He was conversing with Traditional Chinese doctors about their recommendations even before our emergency rooms filled up in the US. Sadly he died a couple years ago, likely from complications from his own Covid infection. As an elder he was particularly at risk. He is greatly missed.
I haven’t read your stuff for a while, a lot do the OK zoomer stuff just made me more depressed. Not blaming you, just a fact due to my personal
Mental space. But I’ve always respected and admired you and the way you raise your family. I really like the way you seem to have flipped to trying to provide positive advice, there isn’t enough of this out there. Plenty of moaning and arguing from covid maximisiers, minimisers, vax, not vax, no virus blah blah blah. But few people actually trying to provide solutions. I’ve researched this for over two years and came up with my own health protection, acute covid and covid recovery protocols. Happy that your findings mirror many of mine. I sent it to many friends and family, three admired to long Covid or wanted to act to protect their health, all the others ignored it. It’s frustrating so many are not willing to see how preventative and alternative medicine has been shut down by big pharma but has a lot to offer. I’m in China so it’s easier to find alternative ways of medicine. You won’t want to hear this but as some body 3 times vaccinated who has realised the error of their ways, don’t think vaccines are helping. Covid is awful but it’s been made worse and by the poison of mRNA. At the least, if you still believe vaccines help with covid try to get something other than mRNA. I’m not on the it’s all vaccines side, I think it’s 70/30 covid but the vax are making it worse and worse, pushing mutation and destroying immunity by constant spike exposure. More and people know and the truth will out
Some of the other cultures that have been using and promoting many of these herbs and told people about them at the beginning of the pandemic are countries from the continent of Africa, Haiti, and Asian countries. As someone who is Haitian, I was shut down on some Still Coviding groups for even mentioning them, even though I added links to research articles.

Good to know. Did you use standard dose or something different?
Eating a plant centered diet is helpful also. https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/2023/10/04/bmjnph-2023-000688
Absolutely.

Got my new Covid shot yesterday. I have or grow several of these herbs, too.
We LOVE the name! 🥳💕💕
