My husband and I started feeling the effects of Covid 19 and I think we had it for over a week before we realized this. So I googled Lugol's Iodine 5% kind and found where they used to use this to combat many different viruses, plus bacterial infections, etc in the old days. T
hey used this in 1918 when the Spanish flu hit is what I read with great success. So we tried what it said and gradually increased from two drops a day in water or our coffee once a day the first couple of days to where the paper I read said to start slowly. So first 3 days we used 2 drops a day. Then we went to 6 drops a day and after a few days we jumped up to using 6 drops in our coffee in the morning, then again in the middle of the day and then once more in the evening before bed in a glass of water. Mixing it in well before drinking it. We started improving in wellness with each passing day and our coughing we had went away after the 4th day.
This type of iodine is not like the kind with the skull and cross bones on the bottle. It's poison and you cannot put that kind in the body as it will poison you. But Lugol's Iodine you can use inside your body and drink in a glass of water, juice or coffee and I truly believe this is what healed my husband and I. We were not tested for the coronnavirus/covid 19 but we had 8 of the symptoms so I know we had it. We both had a temperature, cough, aches and pains, chest pains also, headache, etc. We took this Lugol's iodine for about two weeks or so and feel fine now. I believe it brought us through it quickly and easily and I am 66 yrs old and he is 68.
Read up on this Lugol's Iodine old time uses. There is a doctors chart of it's uses online, find it and heal yourself.

Hello All, I believe in the following, when searching for medicines and remedies that is how I landed in Earth Clinic 12 years ago In Islam, it is said “Almighty, Sends the cure first and then disease”. So, every disease or ailment has cure. So far, the Lugols 5% Solution is helpful. It kills the virus or bacteria when it contacts. Actually, this IODINE gargle is very old school. For daily prevention, till this Corona Subsides. Take 200 ml of water and add 10-12 drops of Lugols Solutions. Gargle this water 3 times or 2 times. 100ml one time is ideal. Or bare minimum gargle every night. This relieves any throat pain because of common cold or flu, and it should kill any virus or bacteria in the throat. Once in 3 days, you can swallow this sip to increase the iodine in the body. I wish our firefighters, prepares this and uses whenever they go to the rescue. I got my Lugol’s Solution from Hoopers Pharmacy. It is manufactured by a Quebec Company. For Increasing the immunity, there are lots of herbal tea available in TAMIL SIDDHA MEDICINE When brewed and drank for 3 days, will increase the immune cells to 100%. One among them is NILAVEMBU TEA (நிலவேம்பு குடிநீர் – Nilavembu Kudineer). Unfortunately, it is tough to get this tea, as India is in lockdown. There is another way to increase the immunity, Buy Chyawanprash from Indian grocery store and take 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp in the night. It is an herbal jam made from numerous herbs, which includes Indian Gooseberry primarily, which has high potency of Vitamin C more than lemon. Minimum take 1 tsp at night. You can give to children even 5 years old. The only downside is, it needs some time to be absorbed in the body to see the results, couple of weeks at least. It increases immunity against respiratory infections and flu. Peace and Prosperity to Canada Thanks

I've had COVID-19 for over a month now, friends all work at the hospital here in NY. It is worse than they let on. We (my family) had really had HIGH fevers, bloody noses, severe sinus clogs, throat tickle, shivers, coughing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea muscle aches and pains, joint pains, and lethargy. It's been 5 weeks and it still lingers. I'm in bed most of the day and night STILL. I use a neti pot, my son won't use one. I tried everything, to no avail until I tried lugol's! I put 1/4 tsp table salt, 1/4 tsp xylitol, and 2-3 drops of lugol's Iodine in the neti pot with distilled water. I did this 3 times a day for awhile (2 weeks), now 1 time in the morning. The lugols seemed to do the trick. The sinus thing cleared. The virus did not move to my throat and lungs, it did with my son. So I'm guessing the neti pot helped with that. My son really had the coughing/lung stuff and still does. My neck hurts in the front, (not my throat but my neck) but I don't have the throat/lung symptoms and I continue to use the neti pot once per day, sometimes twice. I did 3 grams of aspirin (10 aspirin per day) for 1 week, which I read is a protocol to slow down viral replication. It did not seem to do much, but if I had to do it again, I would. After a week, I switched to lots of fresh ginger tea with tons of lemon (high in salicylates). Both the aspirin and the tea made my ears ring loudly. From this I realized aspirin causes insomnia.
My son, who took Tylenol instead was more sick than I was. The past week, we both started taking cranberry pills and lysine every few hours, this seems to help the symptoms. Not a cure, but it did help. I used Tylenol for the fevers. Activated charcoal for the stomach upset, which did help the nausea, but we still got diarrhea. And lots of SCD yogurt, which is home made and fermented for 24 hours - having the highest probiotic punch you can get. Way better than taking the pills. I also use peppermint essential oil in my waterpik and topically, its known to kill viruses and its high in salicylates. I asked to get checked by my friend who gave us the virus and he claims the hospital doesn't have the tests. We are getting better, but it is SLOW.
