Need Help Friend just caught the Virus.. any tips he should know on how to beat this thing!?

[Draven26]

He's not doing too good and told me some heavy shit basically feeling like he's going to die. Any supplements or foods that would be able to help him get better? Damn Coronavirus is really starting to be the biggest bitch this year!

 

[Sexzd]

im not a doctor but if your friend has a girlfriend with coronavirus and they have sex maybethey will have a mutant baby, on othernote go to the hospital

 

[JessFR]

Im sorry about your friend.

Ok, im gonna be honest here, i know im just some random on the internet, so my advise is that you forget about the word of mouth of crazy internet druggies and read what the health authorities are saying instead.

But, if you want my personal advise. Get bed rest, stay hydrated, call emergency if he feels he can't breath.

Suppliments arent likely to do anything unless he's deficient in something, some of them like fat soluble vitamins can even be harmful.

His immune system is his best defense. Feeling like he's going to die isn't an uncommon report among people who've had the virus, it doesn't mean he is dying. The main thing is that he can breath. If he is having serious trouble breathing thats when you get help.

Also, he shouldnt go anywhere he doesnt absolutely have too. And if he does have too he should wear a mask and stay away from people to protect others. And if he needs to go to hospital or the doctor he should call ahead first so they can protect other patients.

Thats about it, but like i said, we're not health authorities, id sooner trust them than bluelight personally.

Also, I've moved your thread to the health and recovery forum, and left a 2 day redirect on ceps where you originally posted it.

I'll be honest i wasn't really sure where the best place was, i considered life advise and arts too, but the general vibe of health and recovery seemed to still fit better.

Hi Draven,

I am also very worried about the coronavirus, my husband has lung problems and I have been preparing for the inevitable day that I will have to see him on a ventilator again.

I watched an interview with a man named Kevin Heart, he was a coronavirus patient still in the hospital telling about his brush with death. He said that even though you feel like your going to die, you have to get up. You have to get up a few times a day, even if it is killing you, it may make you choke or vomit, but laying down all the time will reduce your lung capacity and make you more susceptible to complications.

I made a few jars of folk medicine to help boost mine and my husband's immune system and to help us best COVID-19. A happy side effect that our lungs began clearing up after we started taking it, and the inflammation in my spine has seemed to go down.

I used some old tostitos salsa jars to give you an idea of the size of jar I am using.

Add to jar:

4-6 cloves of crushed, peeled garlic
A large knuckle of grated or chopped ginger
3 tablespoons of grated fresh or powdered turmeric
Cayenne peppers or crushed red pepper or powder
2 tablespoons black pepper (very important)
1 stick of cinnamon or 2 tablespoons powder
A little orange and lemon zest because I had some
2 shots of alcohol (optional, helps soothe the chest)
A little apple cider vinegar (optional)

Fill the jar up with the best honey you can find - raw, unfiltered is best, but if necessary any honey will do.

Mix all ingredients well. Take 2 tablespoons every 4-6 hours as needed.

It can be drank in a tea with lemon or taken straight out of the jar. The honey straight will soothe and coat the throat and help to relieve some of the coughing and discomfort.

Soak the fresh turmeric in hot water from the tap to help make curcumin more water soluble.

If you can't do this, I recommend megadoses of vitamin C, echinacea, garlic supplements, and chicken broth made with a ton of vegetables and herbs that have been strained out. I have a recipe for "jewish penicillin" (chicken soup) if you want it. Amazing stuff.

Best of luck to your friend.

 

[Draven26]

Thank you for your help

 

[Captain.Heroin]

I'm so disgusted and disturbed with the ignorance coming from people regarding covid-19.

Grow the fuck up.

Sexzd how old are you? That was fucking weak. Weak.

Alcohol lowers your immune system's ability to fight something off.

I would abstain from the alcohol personally but this would be a lie. I have been on/off again drinking.

Its literally a teaspoon or less per dose. Have you ever had a hot toddy when you're sick? It is very soothing and helps tremendously.

Ah i see.

I have not. Alcohol of any sort seems "yucky" when I get sick.

The rest of that list seems *amazing*

And yes I will still drink this year. Sigh.

A nice hot whiskey is amazing when you’re unwell. Lemon with cloves and brown sugar added to a good Irish whiskey. Best cure ever.

 

[LadyAlkaline]

I think it may be a cultural thing. In the south, a lot of older people take a shot of whiskey or make a homemade cough syrup with rum or another liquor to help soothe symptoms

 

[JessFR]

I would be cautious about all these efforts to boost the immune system.

A lot of the symptoms you get in a viral infection are from the immune systems response, not the virus directly.

Other viruses which attacked the young primarally did so by causing excessive immune response.

My point is, you don't always want a crazy strong immune system. You want a normal immune system.

Yeah he didn’t make it I told him to stay away from his drinking and smoking nicotine cuz we used to work together doing the night shift grocery store clerk thing and all he does now in his spare time is make beats but he lives in Texas and I’m out here in Cali and his sister gave me the news. I guess his immune system wasn’t able to fight it off. This fucking virus is an attention whore. Well hopefully it’s getting the attention it wants. I’m in a pissy mood. Should of stocked up on meth before I got clean. I would relapse but nah.. better to just work out, draw, make love to my girl, eat, pray, watch shameless and try not to think about using or blowing my brains out from being indoors. Though it’s not so bad but I’m a indoors kinda guy.. at least I have been for a while.

He died?

I'm so sorry.

It is deadly and it is fucking awful.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

Sometimes it's that your immune system reaction is too intense, sometimes it's not intense enough and in either scenario it's bad.

Honestly you're smart for NOT getting meth before you get clean. It's the #1 drug people find addictive other than nicotine. Both are insidious monsters to the human brain.

Tobacco smoking is known to be a bad factor for covid-19.

Methamphetamine is also known to be a bad factor for covid-19. "Pulmonary vasoconstriction -> allows covid-19 infection to spread more" or... whatever... I forget. I can find the link if I didn't post it in H&R enough.

I tell everyone that because the whole "drugs and covid" thing is all about self-medicating the symptoms away.

Apparently NSAIDs are also a bad idea during covid-19 which is super, super unfortunate for pain sufferers who can't use opiates or don't want to relapse on opiates, like me...

I used a lot of those ingredients to help combat tumor inflammation for awhile, they work.

Another great one is “turmeric milk” which is milk or milk substitute (oat milk or nothing boy) brought to a simmer along with coconut oil/ghee and tea bags full of fresh grated turmeric, fresh grated ginger, cinnamon (Vietnamese if you know what’s good for ya) maybe a little nutmeg, and of course a little honey to bring it all together.

Simmer until the milk takes on a rich yellow color from the turmeric. Squeeze the tea bags gently to help the goodies come out. (Metal tea holders work even better.)

Tastes amazing and great right before bed. Say goodbye to inflammation..

Edit- My apologies Draven, I missed that he passed

Yeah.. now I know why he kept telling me that he was giving me the rights to all the music he made. I thought he was messing with me because it was close to midnight when he called on April fools but his family crying over the phone confirmed it. I wish he was playing a prank but unfortunately not. And you are right I did see your post about meth and vasoconstriction and spreading the virus and it’s probably a good thing I quit nocotine as well. Soon as I quit meth I quit nicotine as well. Kill two birds with one stone ya know?
