Lysine Opened Breathing During INSANE Sinus Congestion During Covid Infection

I had come down with Covid that gave me an absolute terrible time with sinus congestion. There was so much sinus pressure and there was absolutely no air getting through. I could actually pump my nostrils and a squeak.

I would notice that I would get an occasional couple of hours where I can breathe. At first, I couldn't understand what it was that was opening up my breathing. I had been trying everything; oregano nasal spray, grapefruit seed extract nasal spray, saline rinse, the tomato tea (which only would work for a few minutes once things got really bad), vinegar, etc. I tried it all and none would help for more than a few minutes.

What I finally realized was that as soon as I get sick, ever since the pandemic, I pull out lysine. I heard it was a fantastic way to kill off viruses. So whether it is a cold or flu or Covid, I knew it was something good to have on standby. I had been taking it with a bunch of other supplements, but something told me to just take a single dose before I go to bed. Sure enough within about 20 minutes, I could breathe! For hours! I thought it could not be true. So the next morning I tried it again. I could breathe again. I was wondering why this lysine wan't more spoken about for covid and other respiratory illnesses.

I took 1000 MG 3x times a day of Pure Encapsulation brand because they are capsules and very clean. So it gets right in the system. I would do capsules or powder or granules before I did tablets just because how quickly it gets into the system. Your body has to break the tablet down so that slows down delivery.

I don't know if this will work for any stuffy nose, but if you have a viral infection going on, It may be worth a try.
