BREAKING: Livestream Q&A Post Show!
COVID Rx Plan A/B, Restless Leg Syndrome, Disease vs Detox, Fatigue/Strength, Tummy Troubles, Brain Parasites
For those of you who don’t already know I do livestreams Q&As every Wednesday at 12 noon EST. We collect questions wherever they come in throughout the week and I go through them and also answer any live questions people post during the show. You can catch these on Twitter/X, Rumble, and Youtube.
Anyway I thought I could do a quick rundown and expansion on some of the topics here as well (see the recording for more):
COVID Treatment Update: The Plan A, Plan B approach
“Dr Syed Haider what dose of Ivermectin is recommended for covid? My husband got it at work, and now I have it.”
Most of you probably have a pretty good handle on how to treat COVID, but it’s always good to do a reminder and check out the latest FLCCC guidelines, which are available at this link here.
The most important thing to remember is that if you want to kill a virus you have to hit it hard and fast, no hesitation at the first sign of a problem. This is because by the time you get the first tiny tickle in your throat it’s already been multiplying in your nose, mouth, throat for 5+ days.
However that first day there’s no foolproof way to be sure you have a virus and didn’t just swallow something wrong, or breathe in some irritant in the air or eat something you reacted to. Even a nasal swab or PCR test may show negative and then flip positive a few days later.
Human nature being as it is, most of us don’t look for help until we’re on day 5 or 6 and feeling bad, funnily enough by then we’re usually about to turn the corner anyway and start getting better. So whatever we do will end up being lauded, when the real hero is our own immune system.
If we did stock up beforehand and have ivermectin in the medicine cabinet, most of us still won’t jump to use it on day 1 because we get these little tickles in the throat a few times a year and they often don’t turn into anything at all, or even if they do, we just hope against hope that it’s not really COVID this time, and we’ll wait until we’re sure we’re sick.
Now I’m not going to tell you what’s the best approach, because it varies person to person. Some people might benefit from blasting everything with ivermectin, and others don’t need to use it at all.
But a template to consider is having a Plan A and B.
Plan A is what you feel comfortable doing on day 1 when you have a little tickle in your throat, and Plan B is what you do if it gets worse and worse.
Now before we get to Plan A and B, we should note that the symptoms of illness are not necessarily bad.
Getting a severe COVID infection usually just means your immune system did a bang up job of wiping out the virus and protecting you from developing long term problems, whereas many people who have a very easy time with the acute infection often end up with bad long COVID a few weeks or months later - what they thought was a “good” immune response to the acute infection was actually a very lackluster one.
Symptoms are usually the collateral damage of your immune system waging war on an invader.
Purposely stopping the symptoms with bandaids like antihistamines and steroids is not helpful unless the symptoms are so severe they are killing you, which is almost never the case. Using antibiotics is almost always unnecessary even for bacterial infections, and will completely wipe out some healthy bacteria and completely knock back the populations of all the rest taking many months to fully recover. Those species are like extensions of ourselves, they play a role in our immunity, production of micronutrients and even hormones. They are in a sense part of our bodies, or at the very least have a symbiotic relationship with us.
With that preface, Plan A comprises treatment approaches that are generally speaking quite mild but also very effective and the specifics will vary, but these can include the following:
Spending more time outdoors in and out of the sun throughout the day, and turning off all the lights at sunset, sleeping well, relaxing more, feeling good, enjoying yourself, eating healthy, and not worrying.
Nasal and oral rinses with salt water, shown to be one of the single most effective options against Coronavirus and early infections in general
Nasal and oral rinses with other substances like hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, iodine, and various essential oils.
Nasal and oral copper wand sweeps - available online from Ayurvedic supply stores, copper sticks have been used for millennia to kill all microbes on contact.
Oral herbs and supplements like Vit D, Zinc, Quercetin, IP6 Gold, high dose vitamin C (will cause diarrhea usually), turmeric, nigella sativa, dandelion, and viral protease inhibitors.
Rinses and copper sweeps might be repeated 4-6 times a day
Plan B includes all the above along with the usual heavy hitters like ivermectin (0.6mg/kg/day for at least 5 days or until symptoms resolve), hydroxychloroquine, etc, under the care of a practitioner, usually continued until symptoms resolve, with the goal of keeping patients out of the hospital and preventing long COVID.
Restless Leg Syndrome: Beware of easy “fixes” like zinc and selenium that may create other problems
“Dr Syed Haider do you have any solutions/thoughts on restless leg symptoms please?”
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is poorly understood, as most illnesses are by the mainstream medical mafia. However the cause in a particular patient can be understood by someone who has wisdom and experience, and therefore treatment can be successfully instituted.
As with most disorders there is an easy way and a hard way. The easy way doesn’t really work in the long run, and may not even work too well in the short run.
Pharmaceutical solutions usually come with serious short term side effects and even more serious long term side effects (which are almost always unrecognized).
There is another “easy” way which often looks like this: going on doctor google, or various forums or social media sites and seeing what worked for other out of the box thinkers and tinkerers.
This can involve a lot of trial and error, but in the end can often appears to work much better once something is found that relieves the symptoms.
Chris Masterjohn suspects many if not most cases can be resolved with simple supplementation of zinc and/or selenium for a few weeks or months (iron too). He presumes the problem is a nutritional deficiency.
Now nutritional deficiencies of zinc, selenium or iron may exist and might cause RLS, however another possibility is there is a deeper problem and the body is responding to that other unknown problem by reducing levels of those micronutrients on purpose in a kind of maneuver or parry against that other foe.
If this is the case then replacing the micronutrient and “resolving” the restless leg syndrome, may in fact worsen that other problem by hobbling the body’s ability to counteract it.
Unfortunately most online medical “education,” like what I’m trying to do here, just sends people off on wild goose chases to try various body hacks on themselves.
Your body is far more sensitive and complicated and important for you than a space shuttle for an astronaut.
No astronaut would let just any mechanic off the street come in and tinker on a malfunctioning space shuttle just before launch, yet that’s exactly what we do with our own bodies all the time.
What can be done safely are all the lifestyle optimization strategies that will resolve 90+% of chronic health symptoms. And once that’s been achieved get some guidance on full body detox (will be publishing a protocol soon) to resolve the root causes and regain physiological resiliency.
Excessive Saliva: Recognizing & not blocking natural detox
“Dr. Haider, I’ve been dealing with excessive saliva (& occasional drooling) for approx 6 months. Neurologist found nothing. I recently read that Spike Proteins have been found in salivary glands causing irritation, inflammation, etc … should I be taking something different to remove spike proteins in these glands? All of the supplements, ivermectin, etc. are apparently not helping … suggestions?”
