Hi sisters,
I'm following up on my earlier email about how Dane and I are doing. At the time I didn't really have the energy to get into more detail but I'm a little better now.
Dane and I have covid. He started symptoms 12/6, and then I started symptoms 12/10. We assumed we would eventually get it and so we enacted the covid plan I had written up months ago. Adjusted the supplements and added others. Went to the functional medicine center I mentioned so the nurse practitioner could monitor us as we started the multi-drug early treatment protocol. She's been so great. Our goal was to stay out of the hospital. Everything I've learned about early treatment indicates that practically?any?early treatment improves outcomes. The nurse practitioner says they've had a lot of covid patients, and only one had to go to the hospital (I think she said he was further along when he came to them), and no one has died. So we have felt in good hands.
Dane's had it worse than me. He felt pretty miserable all last week, and at the beginning of this week was the worst. Because his pulse oximeter readings were sometimes low, I had to take him for a chest x-ray on Wed to make sure he didn't have a blood clot. He didn't, but they said he did have pneumonia in both lungs, which they said "isn't fun, but isn't dangerous." Then on Thursday he was remarkably better. Most of the truly miserable symptoms are gone and he's just got to wait out his lungs clearing up. A bit uncomfortable to take deep breaths.
His grocery store offered him 10 days paid leave and since hearing of the pneumonia, two more days. Which is amazing for an American company, especially a grocery store. (It's Natural Grocers, a health food store chain.) It's a sign of how much better he is feeling that the return to work is beginning to sound possible. I don't want him overdoing it so I'm glad they just offered him the extra days.
My symptoms have been milder; mostly a sore throat for a number of days, congestion. I have a few more symptoms that are probably mostly from the drugs we're using. I feel fairly sure that after resting through this weekend, I can go back to work Monday.
My sister just told me she's just tested positive and has symptoms. Her 16 year old son had it--they didn't even know until he mentioned he'd lost his taste. Her husband and a few days of cough and runny nose. Sounds like she's the worst of those three but it's still mild. I'm talking her through everything we've done.
We are glad to be developing natural immunity. To us, that is the only way out of this. From our perspective, the shots provide a very narrow window of protection before another booster is needed, and the significant side effect risks are there with each shot.
It's been such a weird time...I'm sharing with you that we have covid, but we're not telling that to just anyone. Like, you'll never see me post that on Facebook. I have seen that one only gets sympathy for covid if you have taken the shots. If you haven't taken the shots, you're a selfish bastard, a fool who deserved what you got--some people seem to think you deserve to die from it--and god forbid you got anyone else sick.
It's so strange. For people like me, a risk-benefit analysis of the shots made them an absolute no-go. Not a hard decision. There are a lot of scientists and doctors who disagree with the pharmaceutical narrative being pushed by CDC. I am tuned in to a number of researchers who are analyzing the performance of the shots. They are seeing big time failure. And it seems like the politicians and bureaucrats that feel they "have to do something" are just doubling down on everything that didn't work before. Lock down harder, mask harder, boost more, boost more. I'm very concerned for the research that indicates those who did get the shots may have an inferior immune response that will make it harder to get over covid when they do get it.?
But then, the vast majority of people are in a completely different mindset. The frustrating part of that mindset is it generally involves insisting everyone has to follow it. Everyone has to lockdown, mask, get shots, get boosters. They can't just do it for themselves and let those who are operating in a different paradigm do what they need to do for themselves. I've felt for a long time it seems like people are hypnotized, and interestingly, I recently watched a video of a psychologist saying that he thinks we are seeing a mass hypnosis. He has studied this phenomenon, the biggest examples of which are Nazi Germany and the USSR.
What's happening in other countries is very frightening. Australia, New Zealand, Latvia, France, Israel, Austria, and Germany are the worst right now in terms of stripping people of their rights. There have been protests over green passes and lockdowns going on for months. Every weekend people are marching in various cities around the world. The mainstream news does not report on this. Mostly I see people posting footage on Twitter.
I know in our group we have different opinions about what is going on and what is the best course of action. However, I love you all and trust that you love me and that we can agree to disagree. So I wanted to give you the fuller picture. Thank you for holding us in your healing light!
Love,
Jill
