Most red meat is loaded with antibiotics and hormones, and fed with grains. I get sick and even hives when eating such red meat. On the other hand I feel amazing eating grass fed/finished red meat. So the association with red meat is highly misleading because the antibiotics can be immunosuppressive.

Also over the abdominal region for the same time to have even more autoimmune effects. Certainly stimulation of acupuncture points will also improve immune response.

Many moons ago LED was determining to be about 20% less luminous than Lasers. So it is not as effective in the same amount of time, so you can do it a little longer to get the same effect. Not the case between class 2 and 3B. The consumer stuff can’t do what I can do in two minutes, even if you spent 30 minutes applying it.

I have multiple chronic tick born infections. The year I made the biggest improvement was when I got an annual pass to a local hot spring. I would go once a week and soak for 2 to 3 hours. I would make sure to soak my head as long as I could tolerate it. After each session, my brain fog would disappear, my body would feel lighter and I would have so much more energy. Now I live farther away from a hot spring, so I do my best to draw the hottest bath I can and add a bunch of Himalayan or Redmond salt. Soaking my head is the most important part for reducing brain fog.

[@LisaKnobel]

We do have chronic parasitic infections in the US. Babesia is much more prevalent than you think. It is a common tick born infection. The blood supply is hopelessly contaminated with it. My doctor gives me an ivermectin script to always have on hand. HCQ is also very helpful for Babesia.

Perhaps the parasitic infections are more than I think but they’re not more than what they are in those countries that I mentioned.

@Medcram my dad is over 80 in PA, he had a relapse of Lyme this summer. His doctor said they are now treating everyone as if they have Lyme. Especially if they have chronic illnesses.

Steps taken: - All boosters except the most recent one (she had no bad reactions to any shot) - Isolated day 2 of symptoms (family masked around her day 1. Nobody else got COVID) - Starting day 2 Vit D, zinc, quercitin everyday for a week - Lots of water and rest - Moved her bed closer to the window and made sure she got lots of sun. - Paxlovid on day 3 of symptoms (worst day of symptoms) - No strenuous actvity (mental or physical) for a week after symptoms subsided. Only walking outside, reading, socialization. - Maybe not strictly Mediterranean diet but minimized sugar, wheat, no red meat, etc. Basically chicken soup, fish, eggs, beans, salads, nuts. Only bad stuff was butter, breadcrumbs, and ice cream. She had age, lack of regular exercise, low vit d from being in the Northeast, slightly overweight (but not obese) and depression working against her. So, not worst case scenario, but not ideal either. I cant thank you enough Doc! You've been an invaluable resource during this crazy thing we are all going through.

Doctor, if living in higher latitude where sunlight is very weak in the winter and or not there but behind bleak grey skies, can you recommend using a near infrared lamp of some kind? If so... I've heard a 650 to 800 nm is good. Will there be certain kinds to avoid? Do they have to be very expensive or will budget lamps suffice if they at least have the proper wavelength?

How can Paxlovid produce a rebound effect if it's action is to inhibit viral replication? - (Protiase inhibitor) - I'm guessing it's due to inflammation bounce-back. I found the same effect taking Ivermectin. Anti inflammatories need to be tapered off for this reason. So as to not allow the bodies inflammatory processes to be suddenly triggered as the anti-inflammatories wear off. - You can't just suddenly stop taking an anti-inflammatory and expect inflammation to stay at rest.

I've been doing these things from the beginning. Never needed the jab. Nice to see you coming around. Good info except for the anti-meat comment. Mediterranean diets contain meat. Looking at all available RCTs for diet, there's no conclusive evidence that meat is bad. The few that show bad are flawed and based on association. Diabetes and obesity were a risk factor, and those are caused by plants ONLY.

They can trigger cells to respond as if they were under stress from heat or cold, for example. Part of a cell’s stress response shuts down the protein-building factories to save energy. In the process, it also halts the production of more viruses.” Source Quanta magazine

I got almost all the Comorbidity issues. No jab Wife has less CM with Jab. I refused to allow my kids to get this experimental jab. Entire family got 2nd Gen C19. Wife loss taste/smell. Bedridden for a week. Both kids and I got 103.5 fever for about 20 minutes. LITERALLY. I was taking our temp every ten min because kids prone to spiked fever and seizure. None of us even had any symptoms. None. No headache, no sneezing, no sweating or loss of breath, nothing besides fever. My kids were required to take almost daily c19 tests to attend school. That how we found out. Then my wife got it, me,m and my daughter. My kids played outside and I gardened a LOT without a shirt. I always took VD3 as well as multi Vitamin. Always loved getting taking a super hot shower then cold shower to near shivering because I like the portable heater on my back in bed. I have been on a keto based diet for years. Heavy protein few sugars (under 25 grams Total per day) a TON OF COFFEE!! 80 oz average. SO, there may be a lot of merit to your suggestions

I appreciate your evidence based, informative and detailed videos about how to navigate through Covid-19 and other diseases. You mentioned Hydrotherapy, particularly with heat, like suana. but what benefit would full body cold water immersion in the ocean or an ice bath? Are there studies that show that cold water immersion has health benefits for Covid-19 or general health?

There is definitely benefits to Coldwater immersion. I just don’t think that those benefits translate into this situation. I do however do one minute of cold after 20 minutes of hot

I'm having problems identifying a good zinc product. Should I choose 40mg based on "elemental zinc" or "zinc pollinate, etc."? There seems to be a big difference between the two. If the former, could you point me someplace or share a name or something to help me find some? Thank you for your videos! I've watched every single one since COVID!

[@Medcram]

You could choose whichever zinc, you like just make sure it’s not more than 40 mg of elemental zinc, which should be on the label

[@tasershot5159]

@@Medcram Thanks so much for your reply! Buyers who use Amazon should beware as, among other issues, very few sellers list the elemental amount. Also, some of those seem to do their best to make it confusing. I understand that zinc picolinate contains 20-21% elemental zinc, though I don't know how consistent that is across the board. Anyway thanks again!

[@jesussavemetoday975]

@@Medcram I would be interested in seeing a civil honest debate between you and, say, Dr Peter McCullough, discussing the clinical trials of ivermectin / HCQ, conflicts of interest, group think/bias, & evaluation of "real world data." RCTs are seemingly accepted now as the ONLY reliable evidence. But some of us have discovered enough fraud & corruption of some Pharma companies (and medical journals) that should put large RCTs in a more realistic position . I worked a year as a clinical trials analyst, and know large RCTs take tremendous amounts of money, so are usually only sponsored by drug companies. And vitamins generally cannot be part of a clinical study - there are very specific rules & regulations. Hmmm.

Is it worth starting Vit C D Quer, NAC after illness of 6 weeks?

[@chrispietronigro1450]

Doctor, is there any guidance you could give with respect to body position during an outpatient acute infection, e.g., is it better to sit upright when resting as opposed to lying down? This is something I’ve heard some other doctors opining on, particularly that lying down may be less advisable than sitting upright. Not sure if there would be any plausible mechanism at play here.

[@Medcram]

The only advice would be prone positioning, if lack of oxygen.

It's interesting. My 40 year old daughter is overweight, smokes cigarettes, smokes weed, Vapes both, drinks a lot of alcohol, doesn't have the best diet, is plagued by both anxiety and depression, for which she takes medications, and has a terrible time sleeping, Works in a very busy restaurant, but she's only had covid once, and it was pretty mild . She is vaccinated, but I think her last booster was 2 years ago. I am 65, below normal bmi, former smoker, have cvd , not vaccinated due to history of adverse reactions when I was a kid, I mask diligently, eat very clean ( not plant based) , and I've had covid 3 times. Fortunately didn't need to go to hospital. Took paxlovid last time and I do believe it worked ( this was 3 weeks ago), I'm grateful for it, but I've read it's now been found to be only around 37 percent effective. In 2020 I took ivermectin and it DEFINITELY helped. Take all the supplements suggested here, except the quercetin. I continue to mask, but I'm pretty sure that one way masking isn't 100 percent protective, which makes me even more disgusted by the selfishness of most humans .

Hi Dr. Seheult, my wife and I had managed to escape infection from Covid19 up until three weeks ago. I anecdotally attribute our resistance to infection due to many of your suggestions, particularly with regards to nutraceuticals, NIR ant the like. We have both been exposed on many occasions to family inside the home and friends stricken with Covid19 and have managed to avoid becoming ill until recently. We are both grateful for your wisdom. Fortunately, we experienced relatively mild disease, 48 hour low grade fever, headache, fatigue, mild sinus pressure and waves of nausea without vomiting. The only symptom which persisted after three days is intermittent nausea. Do you have any recommendations with regards to probiotics? Also, are you familiar with a newer version of NAC, specifically augmented NAC? It is my understanding this version is capable of denaturizing residual spike protein and facilitating its removal from body cells. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

[@Medcram]

Greeting and I’m so happy that you’ve done well. I am not familiar with the new activated NAC. Interesting. I would still recommend getting outside into the sunlight if possible and doing hydrotherapy.

Where are the trials on hydrotherapy and sunlight exposure?

[@Medcram]

Those are hard to do, because there’s no financial reward to the money that would take to do that kind of a trial. Nevertheless, we do have trials that look at infrared light, which comes from the sun. For hydrotherapy we have even less data, but strong data that connect the dots.

[@wealth1ness]

Have you looked at nasal irrigation/sprays? There are a few small studies on saline, xylitol, and some other sprays with compelling results on both prevention and symptom reduction.

[@markhammerschmidt5315]

Here in Hong Kong they give Molnupiravir for people taking statins. This was very effective at cutting my fever but a few days after the first neg test it resulted in a symptomless rebound testing pos for 5 more days - what are your thoughts on that?

Does Paxlovid prevent damage to the mitochondria or just shorten the illness. I’m worried of taking it if it won’t prevent long covid

[@paskowitz]

It's prevention of long COVID is mixed. It seems to have the greatest anti long COVID effect for older or immunocompromised people. If nothing else, it makes COVID symptoms during infection more tolerable. My mom (74) took it and she felt SOOOO much better after the second dose. Like night and day. She had 1 drug interaction, but was told it was minor. She didn't have any side effects outside of a metallic taste. She did get a 2 day rebound infection, but symptoms were minor (mild cold).
