Here's the Spanish nursing home protocol
- 1.
Early start of treatment, regardless of the severity of patient symptoms.
- 2.
Patients with mild or recent-onset symptoms (cough, fever, general malaise, anosmia, polymyalgia):
- -
Antihistamines every 12 h: dexchlorpheniramine 2 mg, cetirizine 10 mg or loratadine 10 mg.
- -
Azithromycin 500 mg orally every 24 h for 3 days if there is rapid improvement, and for 6 days if the duration of symptoms is prolonged.
- -
If pain or fever, acetaminophen 650 mg/6–8 h.
- -
Nasal washing and gargling with sodium bicarbonate water (half a glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate).
- 3.
If symptoms of severity (dyspnea, breathing difficulty, mild or moderate chest pain, with SpO2 >80%, heart rate <100 beats per minute at any time of the process):
- -
Antihistamines + Azithromycin (see mild treatment management)
- -
Levofloxacin 500 mg/12 h, up to 14 days of antibiotic treatment from diagnosis.
- -
Mepifilin solution, 50 mg/8 h as a bronchodilator, until subjective improvement. Patients with previous lung disease (asthma or COPD) used their usual bronchodilators.
- -
If the patient experienced increased breathing difficulty, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day divided into two doses until clinical improvement, and then it was slowly tapered down.
- 4.
Prophylactic treatment for close contacts, including all asymptomatic residents:
- -
Antihistamines at the same dose as symptomatic patients.
They had a 100% survival rate from using this. All Covid patients were confirmed with antigen testing not just PCR. This protocol was developed in March 2020. All patients were VERY old and morbid. As in they would have been looking at a 30-50% die off if they'd done nothing. Not a single one ended up in hospital.
Over the counter antihistamines, add in a broad spectrum antibiotic as a pneumonia preventative, nasal washing to clear airways. Throw in low dose steroids and bronchodilators if symptoms worsen
All makes perfect sense if Covid is primarily an inflammatory illness.
Today our chief health officer berated people like me for taking a horse dewormer instead of getting vaccinated.
So in a spirit of generosity here's the dosing for Ivermectin
Preventative- take 15mg ever 14-28 days. You can measure it out by body weight if you want to, 0.2mg per kilo.
If you come down with Covid symptoms- headache, sore throat, severe lethargy immediately start on a treatment dose.
Again 15mg every 48 hours if you're under 60 and suffer no morbidty. Take it every 24 hours if you do.
Mix the horse dewormer with your coffee or beer if you don't have the pills (it doesn't taste great). Take if with food as it improves absorption.
Of course Vitamin D3 (EVERYONE should be taking this through the winter), zinc, Vitamin C.
Throw in an antihistamine and melotonin, all over the counter meds.
Antibiotics are harder to get (although not as hard as Ivermectin). If you can have a stash of Azithromycin and Predinsolone handy in case you get a bad dose of the coof.
I read a post earlier with someone wondering why smokers seem to have milder illness when they catch Covid. Well likely because a lot of them, especially the older ones, are taking steroid inhalers to treat COPD.
If you're fat and old or even if you're just fat, think about what you're going to do when you catch Covid. You really, really don't want to end up in hospital, at best you have a 50/50 chance of leaving in a box with some of them killing 90% of the Covid patients who come through their EDs.
