Cadet, Your first ninja assignment is :

1. Shut down the cytokine storm 🌪 
2. Eliminate the virus 🦠 

We have two kind of immune cells (warriors). One which reduces inflammation and the other which promotes it, like a bomb 💣 squad. Now the bomb squad is let loose in this viral infection. This is BAD. REAL BAD. To restore balance ⚖️ we need our unit to calm down. 

One of the most effective way to shut down this storm is use of anti-oxidants (eg Vitamin C 🍋 ). Multiple frontline doctors [11] recommend it in intravenous form, but given we do not have access to it, we chose the oral form. 

The most effective anti-oxidant at home strategy is oral vitamin C unto bowel tolerance[4]. 

The other potent anti-oxidant is derived from skin of fruits and vegetables 🍅. Quercetin [5,8] is one of them and is being actively researched in couple of clinical trials. Want to be recruited ?

Now the bomb squad is in control, let’s get these viral zombies🧟‍♀️🤺 .

ℤ𝕟 If the elements of the periodic table were humans 👨 , they would be all jealous of the attention Zinc got in this pandemic 😝 . Its immune protective properties are well proven. It protects the the lung integrity, prevents the virus from replicating, provides an anti-inflammatory response etc. Given every third human is deficient in zinc, Don’t skip this one. 

A fun-incident about Zinc. Taking zinc messes your sense of smell 👃. Some folks have a loss of smell and in case of wifey, her sense of smell became like 🐶 . Previously she used to remember everything, and now she could even smell any junk food I wanted to eat in secret. I had to find a way out. Luckily you can get a Zinc-Copper supplement which alleviates that super-power💥 .

👨‍⚕️The white coats realized that they can neutralize this virus with a combination of Antibiotic/Anti-malaria and Zinc. It does really cool science stuff inside us. Some of those are changing pH levels, anti-oxidant activity of zinc, prevent secondary infections etc. I will leave it between you and your doc to debate about hydroxychloroquine. This is a cheap cheap drug. Read between the lines.

🐽The idea to inhale medicine using a nebulizer is very common in the medical world. The machine converts medicine into fine droplets which get effectively absorbed through the lungs. As the virus 🦠  primarily attacks the lungs, One of the biohacking doctors theorized that inhaling a n anti-viral would clear up your respiratory tract of the virus. 

Hydrogen peroxide (3% food grade) is very well known to kill “ALL” known forms of corona viruses 🦠 within a minute [3]. This is a textbook fact !. A food grade and 3% Concentration is advised. 

If you don’t have a nebulizer, a mouth wash with hydrogen peroxide has been shown to be effective to clear the virus in your mouth.

Fun Fact about the lungs. The air sacs in our lungs if opened up will cover a soccer field ⚽️ 😲 .

Energy : ⚡️One of the first things you would notice is the extreme weakness in the impacted person. The body is at war, all resources are diverted to fight the zombies. Now the best way found to manage weakness is use of Ketone Esters[7] (very expensive 😮 ). It boosts the energy instantaneously. Most patients have diarrhea along with covid-19. I believe in those case the cost effective Ketone salts provide energy and the electrolytes at fraction of that cost.

Gut : 🚽  >70% of folks who had this infection had diarrhea. Likely the gut bacteria is messed by use of anti-biotics. So let’s get some real good probiotics (100 billion CFU’s), some form of yogurt, kimchi etc after the infection to fix the gut.

Stress : 😰 Your immediate circle recognizes you as a happy go lucky person. That perception changes overnight once someone gets infected. The happy face becomes pale and stressed overnight. The stress is real. 

Luckily we have strategies to deal with it. Mega-dose Vitamins and Magnesium are well known to combat the stress. You will heal but the journey will be bumpy without planning for stress.

Most times we are not at war. So if your army is not given bullets 💣, it is ok. No major issue. But if you don’t give bullets to your army in a war, it is a disaster. This is the same analogy for minerals in vitamins. We need a lot in a crisis. Don’t skimp on this. Your body will thank you. 

Next up are a few potent Ayurvedic techniques to super-charge your immune system:

🌿 A combination of potent spices found in every Indian family is boiled and drank [6]. This humble drink is being consumed religiously by almost every Indian family during this pandemic. Infact the immune boosting spices are the basis for many cutting edge research.  

Breathing  quickly becomes a big issue with this virus. Apart from nebulizing, I have witnessed almost magical results with inhaling the steam from a pot of water with celery seed & turmeric. When this simple remedy was suggested my skeptical mind wanted to disregard it as pseudo-science but the results could not be brushed aside. With only a couple of times of inhalation during the day, the breathing improved significantly. 

Simple is powerful. This was a fitting example to me.
