I would think that they’d be able to tell if it was a nuke by reading radiation levels.

Wouldn’t surprise me too much … North Korean or Iranian test?

Tonga Volcanic Eruption is what they are calling it, but IMO it has the appearance of a nuclear detonation! Any Opinions??

I found out why they were using melatonin for Covid

Posted by goldielocks @ 14:29 on January 15, 2022  

Although the this virus was man made.
Bats don’t get sick with virus and they believe that since they have the highest levels of melatonin has something to do with it.

The study, therefore, recommends the use of intranasal/oral Iodine-V to reduce the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2.

The antiviral activity of iodine

While mitigation measures such as lockdowns, masking, social distancing, and vaccines have been adopted to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, several other methods of reducing and controlling the virus have been proposed. Oral and nasal sprays with antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, for example, are actively being studied. More specifically, an Intranasal Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I; 1.25%) spray has been found to be active against SARS-CoV-2, as well as SARS-CoV and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

“Iodine is established as having a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal pathogens and has been used as an antiseptic for the prevention of infection and the treatment of wounds for decades.”

A recent study published in PLOS One estimated the virucidal efficacy of Essential Iodine Drops (EID) for oral/nasal decontamination of known or suspected cases of COVID-19 as a potentially better alternative to the PVP-I.

The superior activity of EID

Zoltán Köntös, a researcher from IOI Investment Zrt., in Budapest, Hungary, recently demonstrated the efficacy of iodine against SARS-CoV-2 as a better alternative to Povidone-Iodine. In this work, Dr. Köntös found that Iodine-V, which is currently available as the EID formulation, inactivated 99% of SARS-CoV-2 after 60 and 90 seconds. These results were similar to PVP-I, which has previously been reported to inhibit 99.99% of SARS-CoV-2 at 60 seconds.

“Iodine-V offers an advantage as a nasal or oral antiseptic to reduce viral transmission from known or suspected COVID-19 patients.”

While the current study established that EIDs are as efficacious as PVP-I against SARS-CoV-2, it also discussed it as a potentially safer alternative to PVP-I, as this agent is known to cause serious rashes despite being non-cytotoxic. When used as a preoperative antiseptic in oral and maxillofacial surgery, for example, PVP-I is often associated with late-onset allergic contact dermatitis in some patients due to the free iodine that has an oxidizing effect on the skin or mucosa.

The improved safety profile of EID is largely due to the significantly lower amount of iodine present in this formulation as compared to that which is found in PVP-I. EID, for example, is an aqueous solution of Iodine-V containing 200 micrograms (μg) of elemental iodine/milliliter (ml). This is comparable to 1-5% PVP-I, which often contains 1000–5000 μg/ml iodine.

In addition to the therapeutic benefits of EID against SARS-CoV-2, the Iodine-V in EID also serves as a mineral supplement that can maintain healthy thyroid functioning.

“Being already on the market as a mineral supplement to help people with iodine deficiency, it is safe when used routinely orally or intranasally in known or suspected COVID-19 patients.”

Conclusion

Taken together, the current study concluded that being excipient-free, Iodine-V is likely to have better stability and an enhanced potency in vivo when compared with PVP-I against SARS-CoV-2. The study, therefore, recommends the use of intranasal/oral Iodine-V to reduce the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2.

Any guidance on how long to keep using it?  (Say, twice a day). If nasal passages tolerate it (it’s not very pleasant) any reason not to continue for another week or two as preventative (or to keep killing any “germs” that might be there)?  Or is it too hard on the nasal passages if you don’t really need it?  The antiseptic mouthwash/gargle is easy; no reason to stop that.

Well it certainly can’t hurt starting treatment if you have it or not.
I do kind of regret not dodging it again because of the fever fatigue and body aches. I only had two meals in three days.
That doesn’t help energy either. I ordered liquid food just in case and drank one today. If the aches and pains continue I’ll take some ibuprofen which should help now that the fever is gone pretty much.
I have the melatonin but with already having fatigue I didn’t take it.
They need drive through tests cuz I can’t imaging people not feeling well standing on long lines. People just won’t go.
My daughter has to be tested twice a week and she came out negative. She started the IVM and vitamins right away.

goldi,

Posted by treefrog @ 22:53 on January 14, 2022  

thanks for posting the symptom profiles for delta and omicron.

i think i may be over the hump and on the downhill slope of omicron.  at least the symptoms fit the profile.  i’ve been doing daily c, d3, and zinc plus a weekly ivm @25 mg for several months (a year?  i didn’t mark it on the calendar when i started).

when i started having symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, moderate sore throat headache, and fatigue) i doubled up on the c, d, and zinc and bumped the ivm up to 35mg daily.  i also took tylenol SEVERE cold & flu (1/4 the recco dosage level) for relief from the symptoms, and for the expectorant.

symptoms peaked third day, about on a level with a common cold, and are now (6th day) fading to level of mild discomfort and dropping.

did i have omicron?  who the hell knows (or cares)?  maybe the next scheduled checkup, i’ll ask the doc to run an antibody scan.

Moggy sent me this. Apparently my symptoms are leaning to Delta but sill have sense of smell. Plus there’s other things going on out there.

Posted by goldielocks @ 18:23 on January 14, 2022  

I’m not up to reading all of it but kinda preaching to the choir anyways.

ial symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
DELTA
Fever
Cough Fatigue/Malaise
Sore Throat Headache
Muscle or Body Aches Loss of Taste or Smell
OMICRON
Runny Nose
Sneezing
Fatigue – mild or severe Sore Throat
Headache
“Cold-like” symptoms
NOTE: The estimated incubation period for COVID-19 has long been 2-14 days with a median of 5 days, per the CDC.70 When the agency changed the quarantine period from 14 days to FIVE days on December 27, 2021—in the middle of the Omicron surge, injected or not, after being exposed or even after testing positive, with a few caveats—it wrote: “The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-COV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.”71, 72 The real motivation may be health care and airline worker shortages.73
2. Seek early and aggressive treatment—regardless of variant.
a. Even if your case feels “mild,” begin early and aggressive treatment.
b. Essential to stop viral replication, and the resulting body-wide inflammation and clotting.
c. Start early treatment no later than 7 days after first symptoms—the earlier, the better.
d. The virus replicates for 5-7 days (hasn’t been cultured after 8 days). — Dr. Urso, MD74
e. Others say viral replication lasts up to 10 days, and some say longer (see chart below).
f. “Treat first. Test later. Don’t wait for test results…Delay is what’s killing people.” — Dr.
Darrell DeMello, MD, who has treated more than 6,000 patients, with only 14 deaths.75
g. Progression of COVID-19 if left untreated (displayed during US Senate hearing, 12/8/20):

Great story! You’ve sure worn a lot of hats!

Good thing you didn’t get stuck in Lodi!

All the best

Ipso Re: Creedence Clearwater Revival…Stuck In Lodi Again! Great song…and boy does that bring back memories.

Posted by silverngold @ 15:52 on January 14, 2022  

17 years old, on the Greyhound Bus heading for Florin CA just north of Lodi and south of Sacramento; every thing I owned in a duffle bag. I’d left home (LA) for good.  On my own. $20 in my pocket and I had a toothache. That was my Silverngold start to making my fame and fortune, looking for my pot of gold.  Well, I found it! It’s called LIFE!  “Anything works if you do” and “the harder you work, the luckier you get“, and boy have I been lucky. Since going through Lodi I have been… Stable boy, Apprentice saddle maker, Powderman’s Helper, Pharmacist Assistant, Real Estate Salesman and Notary, Sgt E5 in California Army National Guard, Household Finance Assistant Manager, General Electric Credit Corporation Manager, Northern California Manager for Aetna Variable Annuity Life, National Field Service Director for same in DC,  North Dakota General Agent for same, Seattle Assistant General Agent for Aetna Life and Casualty, Alaska General Agent for Aetna Life and Casualty, Alaska General Agent for Hartford Variable Annuity Life…. and then I retired at age 33 and moved to Canada! Yup, all just dumb luck I guess, but that’s just the first part of my life. One thing I have never knowingly done is violate my principles, and maybe that is what has made it so easy to recognize the lies and deceptions I’ve seen throughout life, and especially now….and even here on this great forum….But that’s another story nobody wants to hear. LOL!!  The best advice I can give, and have always given my kids, is BE TRUE TO YOURSELF! Then everything else becomes Silverngold!

You can consult your doctor on what temperature to treat. I personally with something potentially serious like this would try to hold it to 103. This one didn’t go that high but left me wanting to shed my cloths but resisted that. My temp is normally 97.6-8 instead of the 98.6 so if it’s 98.6 it’s really 99.6 to me and so on so I have to keep in mind. My grandson although his was creeping towards 102 was shedding his cloths and wanted the window open so he could get pneumonia next lol
When I retired I started having irregular sleeping patterns. I’m pretty sure because of the work involved I wasn’t tired anymore. A friend same thing happened. She tried the melatonin but it didn’t work for her. A good daily routine probably would help. Just not while recovering because it is Covid exercise aggravates it. You got to move around though clear any congestion to prevent pneumonia.
I kinda wanted to get this so I gave the protocol to my grandsons parents and they were still negative after a week but I didn’t take it as I should then started regretting it. I’m not having any trouble with sleep right now just the opposite.

Take 10mg of melatonin and two of the pain reliever pm tablets 30 minutes or more before bedtime. Relax in recliner until sleepy, then go to bed. Works great for me.

Re The Fed Doing Everything To Keep Equities Markets Higher?

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 12:17 on January 14, 2022  

It seems to be working like the high to 21% interest rates of the 1970s. The high rates were sucking in money into bank accounts, making excess money harmless dead money not getting spent, and help to not drive up demand inflation. Inhibited spending on cars and houses.

Sure some stock market profits might be going into people buying extra houses they don’t need, driving those prices higher. But if they build and buy too many, like $145/bbl Oil, they flood and crash their own market. Remember $28/bb oil later on?

I head when Fla real estate get as high as NY real estate like it is lately, LOOK OUT BELOW!! LOL. Another thought, maybe there is massive legal and illegal immigration numbers the gov’t is not reporting would explain very high populations causing the need for all these houses and apartments, and or big Cities are getting emptied and flooding into surrounding areas.

Imagine Ghost Cities?? And dirt cheap prices? LOL.

amals @ 9:54 NUMBER ONE REMEDY for everything is physical exorcise.

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 12:00 on January 14, 2022  

Years ago I heard tried and reported here when you inhale say “sleep”, and when you exhale say “slumber.” A responder said it works good but he switched it to “Gold” inhale and “Silver” exhale.

Another method, just keep repeating…”Stop” on inhale and “Thinking” on exhale over and over. I guess they are mantra type things but work. Counting sheep requires too much thought. LOL

Another option over the counter Unisom, grandfathered in. But DON’T take the whole pill. Too strong. Cut it into 4 pieces. Take a piece hour or two before bed. If you take the whole pill the alarm clock wont wake you up and you feel hung over the next day. One half of a valium or one half of an ativan if you can get a prescription will work good too.

Naturally use sparingly on everything pill related so you don’t get immune, and they keep working.

NUMBER ONE REMEDY for everything is physical exorcise. A therapist friend told me everybody has problems because nobody really WORKS anymore.

Another bad day for the SM. Dragging us down as well.
