Vitamin C Forum

Sort of exciting - just received a positive PCR (the CT-value a very unlikely 37,8 though) and went into quarantine. Since my regimen is pretty allinclusive with natural nutrients, my question would now rather be: Which supplements, especially if symptoms of cytokine storm develop, would better be discondinued?

Untill now only had on Monday evening a outstanding running nose, where I run through a dozen handkerchiefs. Next day gone again.

Exactly, had a cold on monday evening, since gone. Am only asking because remember discussion about certain supplements boosting the immune response, which might be counterproductive during the storm. Was it Echinacea? Don't remember.

A positive PCR and the sniffles, sounds serious! have you been intubated yet?

Good general synopsis of supplements to have if you get suddenly ill with covid I guess it is Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 after all:

Vitamin D aids immune function and helps prevent the inflammatory storm that causes most of the covid deaths.

I have read that in several places that D3 lessens cytokine storm and I think the study on Lysine and covid says Lysine probably does that too. Also the vitamin C IV study with covid as well I think. Not sure what makes it worse. Dr. Christopher has a product called immucalm supposed to calm and strengthen immune system so it doesn't overreact, has astragalus and marshmallow root powder I think. Not sure if it works or not, but herbal info on those says they do regulate immune system.

Lol, yes very serious! Especially because these days are probably the last this year where I could sunbath and swim, impossible during quarantine (Police does check here).

If you read OP carefully again you can see that I take everything against covid plus some - already for over a decade. The question was not what do take, but in my particular situation: What not to take? (in the case a cytokine storm would develop)

Already a week without symptoms. Guess I can bury my hope of getting infected with a good antibody response. Just like the much worse cold last spring, which didn't result in any antibodies. My mucosal immunity seems just too strong without the need of any.
