helpful for prevention, treatment, and recovery of COVID-19 (illness, recovery or post-“vaccination”) & other similar viruses:

• Meteoric Iron/Prunus (Meteoric Iron 12x, Phosphorous 6x, Quartz 12x, Echinacea 3x and Prunus 2x) (Uriel) – 10 pellets twice a day for prevention and recovery, or 3-8x daily if sick. Or, take constituents individually… eg. Ferrum Phosphoricum D6 …
  Echinacea is included in this, but if you don’t have it, you can take Echinacea separately. 
• Aurum Cordiodoron (*Weleda, by prescription) 10-20 drops 1-3x/day especially for older people or those  with cardio-vascular disease or anyone with COVID or after the “jab” (but not with glaucoma) – or  Crataegus/Onopordon, Onopordon comp, or Onopordon/Aurum and others (all Uriel, no prescription needed).  
• Lightroot and Vitamin D3 (400 IU or more/day) especially when you don’t get enough sun exposure – see TrueBotanica Vit D Plus or Quicksilver Scientific Vitamin D3/K2 
• Aurum/Lavender/Rose(Uriel) cream or ointment – for stress, anxiety, or any difficult situation, apply over heart and solar plexus twice a day and as needed. 
• Thuja/Thymus comp.(Uriel) pellets or liquid – for detox and recovery esp. after antibiotics or vaccination.  It can also be used for strengthening to prepare for a vaccination (2x daily for 1 week before, continued  for 4- 6 wks after) to help prevent side effects, and can help relieve long term persistent fatigue, headache  and other issues following vaccination.  
• Ledum palustre 6X (or various other potencies, depending…) (True Botannica, and standard homeopathic preps)  2 tablets 3x daily – Ledum palustre is a strong plant that can grow in harsh conditions (near cold  marshes) and is helpful for treatment of any puncture wounds, including vaccinations, insect/animal bites, stings, thorns, and cuts when the wound is swollen, cold, and blue or mottled – and when cold makes it feel better (and warmth aggravates). It is also good for painful swollen joints that feel better when iced, and when symptoms start in the periphery and travel in/up, and for all kinds of physical and emotional stress, overwhelm, asthma, trauma, sprains (esp. ankles), degeneration and inflammation…  
• • Silicea (Quarz) 30X – helpful for healing any wound, inflammation, or infections process. 
• Arnica 6X – helpful for any swelling, injury, trauma.
• Aquavit (Uriel) (cf Melissengeist) liquid – for exhaustion, dizziness, nausea, lack of appetite, convalescence 
• Threefold Balance (Aurum 6X, Boswelia 75%, Myrrha 2X) (Uriel) 2 tablets 3x daily – for all kinds of  physical and emotional stress, overwhelm, asthma, trauma, degeneration and inflammation.
• Boswelia (TrueBotanica 3K 130mg) Boswelia (Frankincense)
  an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory,  cardioprotective, anti-platelet aggregation, antibacterial, antifungal, and broadly anti-viral, as well as  helpful for pain control and rebuilding cartilage. Boswelia has been shown to have beneficial effects  against COVID-19 induced oxidative stress, inflammation, clotting formation, and microthrombus,  the main cause of the risk of damage to major organs. It can be used in lower doses (100-200 mg/d) for early stages and as a prophylactic in combination with other natural antivirals, and in larger doses  to suppress the uncontrolled activation of the innate immune response that leads to cytokine storm.  
• Vitamin A 700 mcg (for women) – 900mcg (for men) daily, or get it from foods such as organ  meats, oily fish, cheese and butter, Pine Needle Tea, or foods high in beta-carotene that the body  converts to vit A. Beta-Carotene rich foods include the red, orange, yellow and dark green color  fruits and veggies: carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, green leafy vegetable like spinach, kale,  romaine lettuce, red and yellow peppers, peas, broccoli, cantaloupe, apricots… and certain herbs  and spices. β-carotene may be better absorbed when cooked and when eaten together with a fat.
• B Vitamin complex, especially with Thiamine or Vit B1 (eg Dr Mercola Vitamin B Complex w Benfotiamine) Also B12, in the natural methylcobalamin form (eg Dr Mercola spray or organic chewable Vitamin B12). 
• Vitamin C – ideally liposomal (most absorbable), 500 mg 1-6 x daily (taken at different times) or take in a healthy dose of Vit C rich food instead such as Pine Needle Tea, lemon, … 
• Vitamin K – low levels have been linked to severe COVID-19 and poor outcomes. Boosting Vit K  levels is a helpful intervention with no side effects (unless you are on a blood thinner such as  Warfarin or Coumadin) – which is also good for your heart, blood vessels, sugar control, bones  and lungs. Vit K works in tandem with Vit D and magnesium in overall health and to improve the immune response to COVID and other viruses. Anyone taking a statin (cholesterol lowering)  Rx, which depletes Vit K2, should be taking at least 150 mcg of K2 daily (and CoQ10) together  with a fat for better absorption. Both Vit K1 and Vit K2 are important.  
  Vit.K1 is necessary for blood clotting and can be found in leafy green vegetables such as  spinach, lettuce, broccoli and cabbage and very high levels in kale. The absorption from food is  only about 10%; about 80% of our Vit K1 is actually made by bacteria in our gut.
  Vit.K2 is important for bone and heart health – and K2 is very well absorbed from food.  It is found in grass-fed (not grain-fed) animal products such as meat, liver, dairy, especially  certain cheeses (eg Brie, Munster, Gouda, Jarlsberg), butter, egg yolks – and fermented foods  including sauerkraut, fermented soy food natto (a particularly good source of K2 – and in those regions in Japan where they eat a lot of natto, there has not been a single death from COVID-19).
• Magnesium (Mg) is involved in 80% of all reactions in the body, and 80-90% of people are actually  deficient in Magnesium. Blood levels do not reflect actual Mg status since Mg is pulled out of  our tissues to maintain critical (for heart muscle function) blood levels, but 99% of Mg is usually  in the cells, and of that, 99% is in the mitochondria of the cells. Magnesium stores have been  depleted on earth by our farming practices, and there is not enough Mg available in our food  supply. Bones in skeletons from a couple hundred years ago have several times as much Mg in  them as we have in (and on the surface of) our bones today. 
  Virtually all diseases are worse due to low magnesium, and Mg supplementation helps  most other diseases get better. Muscle cramps (of any sort) and nerve twitches are almost  always an indication of low Mg. Magnesium is life giving, anti-infectious, antispasmodic,  mitigates EMF exposure, treats high blood pressure, migraines, osteoporosis, asthma and any  number of other problems, and Mg makes a big difference in the course of COVID. 
  Magnesium is best taken separately from Calcium (Ca) or Calcium-rich foods (by 4 hrs)  because they compete for absorption. The Mg in a Calcium supplement does little to improve  the magnesium level. An ideal form of magnesium is Mg malate (see Cramp Defense, available  online), a naturally chelated form that is highly absorbable and readily available (to tissues) and  does not affect the digestion (does not have a laxative effect even in higher or more frequent  doses). It should be taken: 2 caps 1- 4x daily. Another option is molecular hydrogen (Mercola) tablets which gives higher doses of ionic Mg (malate) as a carrier. 
• Zinc, preferably picolinate 22 mg (Solgar), ½ tab daily– for skin and mucus membrane healing, sore  throat (and others)- Or, use lozenges for sore/scratchy throat.
•  Astaxanthin, a potent anti-oxidant and important adjunct therapy to prevent ‘cytokine storm” which is part of severe SARS-CoV-2 or COVID illness, but also seems to be involved in the  myocarditis-like catecholamine-induced injury process. Astaxanthin is a natural, red pigmented  ketocarotenoid (or plant color) found in some types of microalgae and yeast. The natural sources of astaxanthin are algae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp and crayfish. 
• Krill Oil (Mercola) or other Omega 3 fatty acids – eg Avocado, flaxseed, but Krill also is an optimal  source of astaxanthin.
•  Quercetin, Hesperidin, Resveratrol and other antioxidants that can be obtained in fresh fruits and veggies. These also help to deactivate the spike protein of COVID-19. Good sources include  apples (including skin), broccoli, dark leafy greens, peppers, onions, raspberries, and blueberries. Quercetin, especially, is a super-concentrated antioxidant (in yellow onions…) that helps repair  damaged DNA, mops up free radical damage, slows down the aging process, and decreases the  growth of abnormal cells. It acts like a supervisor of the internal cellular clean-up crew. 
• Evening Primrose Oil (Barleans, organic) an Omega 6 oil with GLA that is a helpful anti-inflammatory  that helps to lubricate skin and eyes from the inside, myelinate nerve fibers, reduce allergic type  responses, improve cholesterol balance, clean out clogged arteries, and balance hormone issues… 
• Bromelain (Superior Labs, naturally sourced) 500 mg 2-3 x daily between meals, more if needed.  Bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme derived from the pineapple that is a potent phytomedi cine which helps with many things without side effects or toxicity. The body can absorb  bromelain well when taken as a supplement without changing its efficacy or producing side  effects, and it helps antibiotics, anticoagulants and other medicines absorb and work better. It is useful for COVID-19, both the illness and post vaccination issues, as well as many  concurrent infections, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions. The major stages of COVID-19’s  pathophysiology are interfered with by bromelain (and curcumin). Bromelain helps dissolve and  prevent clots, is fibrinolytic, antifibrotic, proteolytic, anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory.  
  Bromelain treats infections (including blocked sinuses, bronchitis, bacterial and fungal  infections, urinary tract infections and prostatitis. It helps many cardiovascular conditions (e.g.  when heart pain or heart attack are caused by inflammation or artery blockages), osteoarthritis,  rheumatoid arthritis, diarrhea, Vibrio Cholera, worms, and E.coli, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative  colitis. It cleans up and heals wounds, muscle injuries and burns (including corrosive burns),  treats allergies, especially direct tissue allergy processes, and has anti-cancer activity. Bromelain  has been shown to encourage apoptotic cell death and exhibits some other anti-cancerous  properties, eg suppressing colorectal cancer cell growth. Finally, it has been proven to reduce  post-op pain and edema, and helps to dissolve scar tissue. The research that has been done and  the applications where it has proven helpful are extensive. 
• Proteolytic Enzymes (1MD MediZyme or TrueBotannica Serrazimes Complex) 
• Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) juice or syrup, or (TrueBotanica) Elderberry-Thyme Syrup, a potent antiviral supplement for prevention and treatment 
• Licorice root extract, glycyrrhizin, in moderation – a soothing immune-boosting anti-viral anti inflammatory digestive aide (among others) that is helpful in small amounts, but can be  harmful in excess (over 2 oz/day) and can raise blood pressure.
• Rhodiola Plus (TrueBotanica) or Rhodiola Extract (Mercola) for calming, focus and handling stress
• Olive Leaf extract and various other herbs… (there are many other herbs that could also be helpful)
• Klamath Blue Green Algae (Power Organics) or the non-organic Crypto Power Chlorella (Cryptomondales  sorokiniansis) with soft outer cell wall for heavy metal (and other) detox and as a source of many vital  nutrients. The algae in the Klamath Lake have significant antioxidant activity and are an effective adaptogen. Green Algae is an excellent source of chlorophyll, an important blood cleanser, as well as  high-quality protein and a unique source of minerals, essential fatty acids, B vitamins, iron. The soft  cell walls of Klamath blue green algae enable more effective assimilation (98% can be used as nutrients  as opposed to around 65% for Spirulina). In addition to their nutritional value, algae can also be a  powerful means of eliminating toxins from the body. Studies show algae are able to gather heavy  metals (e.g. lead) and create insoluble salts, which can flush these harmful toxins out of the body.
•  NAC, or N-Acetyl-Cysteine, is an immediate precursor to glutathione, the most potent antioxidant  detox agent made in our bodies, which also thins our mucus and decreases chances of corona  virus, influenza and severe bronchitis. It is available as a supplement, or we can make it  from amino acids such as cysteine, glutamate and glycine. Foods that are high in glutathione  precursors are broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus and turmeric, among others. 
• A good Probiotic (eg 1MD Complete Probiotic Platinum, or Throat Defense^TM) with a mix of strains  of lactobacilli and bifidobacterial and 10-20⁺ billion colony-forming units (and prebiotics)  especially for anyone who has been on antibiotics, for the aging population in general, and for those who have been exposed to glyphosate (aka Roundup), which is all of us.
•  Fennel Tea (or Chinese Star Anise Tea) is an excellent source of shikimate or shikimic acid, which  is an antioxidant known to neutralize the spike protein and boost the immune system. Shikimate  is a natural organic compound (a polyphenol) that is made by various bacteria, fungi, yeasts,  algae, plants, and parasites, albeit in very low concentrations.  
  Shikimic acid is actually the core progenitor of the early (1999) anti-influenza drug  Tamiflu (Oseltamivir phosphate), which is still recognized to reduce severity of illness, shorten  symptoms and reduce transmissibility of influenza A and influenza B infections (by about 10%)  and can shorten the duration of the common cold by 1-2 days if taken at the first signs of illness.
  Oseltamivir was first isolated from Star Anise (3-7 % shikimic acid) but is more recently  generated by genetically enhanced lab bacteria (E.coli) in a pharmaceutical manufacturing  process that allows the organism to accumulate enough material to be used commercially. It works by inhibiting an enzyme on the virus’ surface, which limits its ability to release from  cells and infect the respiratory tract. The drug does come with some unpleasant potential side  effects, but sipping fennel (or pine needle) tea does not and stands to be a soothing alternative. 
  Wheatgrass Juice, St Johnswort, Comfrey tea, Feverfew, Gingko Biloba, Giant Hyssop, Horse mint, Sweet Gum, and others (e.g. fiddle leaf ferns) are also good sources of shikimic acid.
• (White) Pine Needle Tea or “Soda” is another good source of shikimic acid in addition to its many  other virtues. Cultures around the world have traditionally used the needles, inner bark, and  resin of pine trees internally as a remedy for coughs, chest congestion, colds, sore throats, sinus  infections, and allergies. Pine is a good expectorant (thins mucous). American Indians used pine  needle tea for its many healing properties. The pilgrims drank pine needle tea to recover from  the long boat ride (and prevent or treat scurvy). Taoist priests believed pine needle tea made  them live longer, and there is now researched evidence that pine needle tea can indeed help to  slow the ageing process. It brings mental clarity and can help with depression, obesity, allergies, and high blood pressure. Pine needles can also bring relief to conditions such as heart disease, varicose veins, skin complaints, urinary tract infections, and fatigue. Pine needle “soda” has 4-5  times more Vitamin C than orange or lemon juice, which makes it an amazing immune booster  that can help fight illness and infection. It is also a good source of Vit. A, which helps eyesight,  improves hair and skin regeneration, and assists with red blood cell production among other  things in addition to supporting the immune system.  
  Shikimic acid dissolves readily into water and can be easily harvested from the needles of  several species of pine tree, but some are better than others. When testing needles of conifers that  grow in Maine, a team of UMaine researchers found that 1-3.5 percent of their weight is shikimic  acid, with white pines near the high end of the range. White pine needles also have the most Vit. C.  
  It is important to note that some species of coniferous trees are poisonous and should be avoided (yew tree, Norfolk Island pine, hemlock tree, and cypress tree, as well as lodgepole and  ponderosa pine which do not grow in Maine or New York). As always, it is important to verify and  positively identify any wild edible prior to consumption. However, white pine is easy to identify,  because it is the only long leaf pine with 5 needles in each cluster. 
  Once you have collected a few handfuls of white pine needles and removed the small woody  stems (pinch/pull the clusters of 5 needles off the woody twigs), there are a couple options for  making a healthy drink: Pine Needle Tea and Pine Needle “Soda” (see directions below). Tea is  faster and easy whereas soda takes three days, but soda probably has higher quantities of both  Shikimic acid and Vitamin C because heat destroys both.  
  Pine Needle Soda is a fizzy citrussy soda with undertones of mint—with a blast of Vit. C,  Vit. A and Shikimic acid. The carbonation comes from the wild yeasts naturally living on the  needles – when allowed to sit in the sun in water with some sugar to feed them. If you eliminate  or decrease the amount of sugar, or it won’t bubble. Maple syrup can be substituted for sugar but  not raw honey. Of course, if you just want a cold extraction without fizz, you can skip the  sweetener altogether. It should be made in a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid with room  temperature water (hot water also kills the yeast and destroys Vit C and shikimic acid).  
  • White Pine Needle Tea directions: 
    Place 2 handfuls of fresh needles in a pot of water, whole or cut in smaller pieces. 
    Bring to a boil, remove from heat and steep for 10-20 minutes. 
    Strain and enjoy +/- lemon +/or natural sweetener (raw honey) as desired 
  • White Pine Needle “Soda” directions: 
    Put 2 c. white pine needles in a glass jar with 4 Tbsp sugar or maple syrup 
    Add 2 ½ c filtered, bottled or well water – no chlorine, no salt 
    Close jar and gently shake to mix/distribute ingredients 
    Put the jar on a windowsill in direct sunlight (indirect in summer) 
    Do NOT shake at any time after this or it may explode! 
    Wait three days. – Then, open the bottle (without shaking) and strain the soda into a large glass (with ice if desired). 
    Squeeze in some lemon slices and add a few mint leaves. Enjoy!
• Melatonin, (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone we produce when it is dark It is best  known as a natural sleep/circadian rhythm regulator but also has many important immune and  anti-oxidant functions. Melatonin levels rise before bedtime (making us sleepy), peak in the  dark (helping us stay asleep) and disappear when it is light and we need to wake up. We  naturally produce 10–80 mcg melatonin at night, both in the pineal gland (in the middle of the  brain) and in the mitochondria of skin cells throughout the body, induced by near-infrared light  (one more reason it is critical to get out in the sun).  
  Although melatonin is a well know mammalian hormone, it is also produced in other  animals and in plants and is an important regulator of many diverse actions. In fact, both  melatonin and the precursor amino acid tryptophan are available in various foods. An 8 oz  glass of milk or other dairy is actually a good source of both, poultry is a good source, and fruits  and veggies are often good sources. Bananas have 0.07 mcg melatonin in 100g, sour cherries  1.34 mcg, apples and strawberries have some, and cranberries have a whopping 250-960 mcg of  melatonin per 100g (1 cup of cranberries or juice). Nuts tend to be good sources as well with  the highest 33mcg/ 100g pistachios. Although grapefruit does not contain melatonin per se, it is  a great source of tryptophan which helps you produce more of your own melatonin. 
  Since melatonin is a natural sleep regulator, and boosting melatonin levels in the evening  can help us go to sleep naturally, it would make sense that “natural” melatonin supplements  would be an easy answer. However, what is available commercially as a supplement isn’t exactly  natural. Melatonin in pills is either synthetically produced in the laboratory or naturally by an  animal (usually obtained from the pineal gland of cows) which is not necessarily “purely,” humanely, or organically harvested. Most of the melatonin supplements sold around the world are actually chemically produced melatonin blended with an inert carrier. 
  In addition, using it throughout the day for anxiety, ADHD and other issues is question able, both because it constantly sends our circadian rhythm into disarray, and because synthetic and high dose supplements are not exactly good for you. 
  What does make sense is optimizing your own melatonin production by eating the right  foods and controlling your light exposure:
  • Eliminate or at least reduce blue light exposure in the evening (at least 1 hr before bed) (use a red filter on your screen), and banish all screens from the bedroom. 
  • Ensure absolute dark at night while you sleep (with a soft eye cover if needed). Improve sunlight exposure during the day, especially in the morning. 
  • Make sure there are enough building blocks, ie a diet rich in tryptophan. 
  • And, consider supplementing melatonin naturally – e.g. with a 4-6 oz cranberry/grape fruit juice mock-tail in the afternoon, a serving of cranberry relish^CR with supper, and a handful of pistachios before bed. 
• That being said, taking higher doses of melatonin in supplement form may still be a good option for treatment of COVID-19 if other remedies (indicated above and below) are not available. Melatonin is involved in much of the healing and rejuvenation that happens at night  when we are asleep, and it can be extremely effective for treating severe illness. It works as an  anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cytokine modulator (to prevent “cytokine storm, acute lung  injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome produced by the COVID virus).  Melatonin also helps recharge glutathione, our master oxidative stress damage control and detox  agent, and has a variety of other mechanisms of action that support the immune system to control  and ultimately eliminate many different pathogens. It has been shown to significantly lower  mortality (by 93%!) in severely ill COVID patients and other viral and bacterial diseases, and it works synergistically with Vitamin D to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first place.  
  Melatonin has no known serious side effects but is probably best taken about 6 hrs. before bed, at a recommended dose of 2-12 mg for short term prophylaxis or higher amounts for  treatment (up to 100 mg has been used for severe symptoms). This can also be helpful for  treating long-haul COVID-19 syndrome. It is best to start with lower doses of 1 mg or less and  work your way up as tolerated. Lower doses of melatonin (.5 mg, or 500mcg) can help make you sleepy (higher doses might trigger sleeplessness). Taking it sublingually (as spray or sub lingual tablet) helps it work faster. 
  ^CR Cranberry Relish: grind together (push through grinder alternately): 
  • 2c raw organic cranberries, rinsed 
  • 2 organic tart green apples, peeled, cored, and cut in thick slices 
  • 1 large organic seedless orange with peel, cut in sections 
  • (add up to 1 c maple syrup – to taste) 

Be aware that overstimulation of the immune system long-term can be counter-productive. It is  usually best not to take echinacea or other immune stimulant for over two weeks straight without a  break. It stops being as effective as it might be. Perhaps varying approaches can be helpful.  Use things when you need them most for a while, then switch to a different set of herbal remedies,  or take them in a certain sequence or rhythm, or at least designate one day a week as a break and do  something differently positive for yourself instead on that day. 

Each of the recommendations mentioned here could come with an interesting and compelling expla nation, but this is intended as a (relatively) brief summary and not a longer book, so in the interest of  brevity, I will forgo the “why” for most for now. If you are interested in why or how and cannot  find it elsewhere, you will have to ask. 

Other helpful therapies (as directed by/with appropriate practitioner):

• Ginger (mustard or yarrow) chest compresses for bronchitis or pneumonia 
• Eurythmy therapy: “Hope U” to “warm up the lungs,” “Love A,” “Veneration AU,” and many others Craniosacral therapy: optimizing life-energy circuits is helpful periodically for all health-related concerns Warming oil rubs & Essential oils – as oil dispersion baths, diffusers, topically or as ODB can bolster the immune system, help reduce stress and anxiety and help with many concerns Oils particularly useful for flu include (among others): 
• Southern Wood, Artemesia arborescence, essential oil as oil dispersion bath therapy or meditative inhalation therapy is particularly well suited for COVID-19 and the effects of  the jab,” including heart issues.  
• Sage, Salvia officinalis, can be helpful with acute or long COVID and loss of sense of smell Ravintsara, Ravensara, Eucalyptus or Blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), and Lemongrass  (Cymbopogon flexuosus), can also be helpful for colds, flu and other COVID illnesses. And,  perhaps for anxiety: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and various citrus oils, eg. sweet  orange (Citrus sinensis) or lemon (Citrus limon). Please see a qualified therapist; the oil has to  be otherwise appropriate for the patient as well. 

Additional Medicines –

… further remedies by prescription if condition worsens or doesn’t respond… or there are other issues Weleda remedies – are available by prescription 

sometimes use your lungs more fully (and breathe easier) when lying on your side or stomach,  and blowing out hard to empty the lungs allows a bigger in-breath again when we feel we can’t.

To reiterate: 
These are all recommendations that can help, each one helpful in its own right. Look over them, see  what you can do to improve your current situation and your overall health. Every change in this  direction is a positive one, but these are general goals and guidelines. Not every-one will be able (or want or need) to do all of them… However, it is important to do all that we can do…
