Please don’t fix that typo, Matt!

Another tip from WS Burroughs in his Naropa lectures: Don't be too quick to fix a typo until you have studied it carefully- the Muse may be trying to tell you something.

Yes. Typos are one of the things I like about Matt.

I thought this would be something addressed to non-subscribers ("NOT to Readers" i.e. non-subscribers), like if you've been enjoying free RACKET articles then sign up for $5/mo.

But sadly, it's because Matt is ill. Get well soon!

Get well Matthew. I'm fighting a virus myself. As are thousands of hard working Americans holding the Republic together with courage and personal determination. Thank you for walking political point in these trying times.

Safe to assume we’ve all been there and can relate.

My wife, who began as a translator before becoming the first French editor of her company's first website, always said the typo you're least likely to catch is in your headline.

Lol - was going to say the same! (But hope you feel better soon, Matt!)

Take good care of yourself, Matt. Don't worry about us. We just want you to get better. (Just hunker down for a few days, drink lots of liquids and get plenty of sleep!)

Vitamin D3 - double/triple dose!

Get well soon. 5 days of Ivermectin : 0.4 mg * body weight in kg's + zinc = quick recovery.

Quercetin with bromelain works if you can't get Ivermectin

Add HCQ for this Omicron offshoot and you’ll be well in a few days.

Yes.

The zinc thing (early - as soon as you suspect a cold) is real. And I'm generally a skeptic. It either holds it off or it becomes a nothing-burger. We have it in the house after it was recommended by a doctor on a podcast.

Expand full comment

What form of zinc does the body best absorb? I believe zinc as protected and helped me too, when I've caught stuff, but I never know which form to buy.

Expand full comment

Zinc Bis-glycinate 50 is what was recommended. So 50mg per capsule. And you take it with food for about 5 days.

I haven't taken the covid gene therapy injection, but I have used this protocol since June of 2020 and have had covid for a grand total of one night the past three years. Is the protocol the reason? Can't say for sure, but my vaxxx injected wife who didn't want to try the protocol was literally in bed for 10 days with the same covid.

Expand full comment

If you've been paying attention at all for the last four years you'd know that Covid affects individuals in radically different ways, and science hasn't been able to explain why.

Most healthy 30-year-olds are able to clear the infection after a few days without anything more than a case of the sniffles. Some healthy 30-year-olds end up on a ventilator in the hospital's ICU for weeks. Why the difference? I don't know. Nobody does.

So you were symptomatic with Covid for one night and your wife was symptomatic for ten days. Does that mean your treatment regime worked? Not at all. That sort of experience is typical for couples with Covid regardless of how it's treated.

If you'd been paying attention to my post while reading it, you might have noticed that I literaly say, " Is the protocol the reason? Can't say for sure".

And if you'd been paying attention enough to see the science that has come out since the pharma-funded media campaign against IVM, you'd know that a meta-analysis of quality IVM studies showed likely effectiveness against death is published in one of the most regarded universites in Canada, McMaster. So, no, it's not just my anecdotal evidence that supports the "moderately-certain" conclusion that Ivermectin "may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease." There is a body of scientific evidence that suggests it.

We know a lot more about covid, how it works and treatment possibilities than you suggest. Keep up.

You're right, you did originally write that qualifier, and I did notice it.

But, qualifier or not, inferring anything from your sample size of two is nonsense. That's like saying "my car is green. does that mean all cars are green? no, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions." There is no conclusion to be drawn from your experience.

Thanks for the link to the ivermectin research. I'll check it out. I am open minded about this, at least to a point. I'm happy to believe that it may be effective to some degree. If it was hugely effective then no cover-up in the world would have hidden that fact, but, some efficacy? Sure, maybe.

Expand full comment

With all do respect, you have too much homework to do to come to any conclusions yet. You say you're open minded in sentence one of a paragraph and prove you aren't by the last. Good luck.

Expand full comment

Think about it. If ivermectin was a cure for Covid, then a bunch of countries around the world would have figured it out and nobody in those countries would have died from Covid. Sure, there was probably pressure from world powers to buy vaccines and avoid ivermectin, and that would have worked on SOME countries, but certainly not all of them. And the same world powers, including the world powers that don't get along with each other and have no incentive to cooperate about anything, all concluded that ivermectin shouldn't be first-line treatment. So it can't all be a big conspiracy.

I am open minded, in the sense of, I think it's possible that ivermectin can have some beneficial effect. There are a lot of people who think it's impossible. But if you think ivermectin is essentially a cure for Covid, you might as well also believe that it can make you fly around like Superman.

Oh lord.

I had Covid a few weeks ago. I drank coffee in the mornings and recovered quickly.

Must be because of the coffee.

Expand full comment

That would really only be a burn to @thedesignflaw if you said you lived with s/o who got it same time you did, didn't drink coffee and was in bed for 10 days. Otherwise, just seems like childish snark.

My post wasn't a reply to The Design Flaw.

Internet much?

Literally, the only 3 people on this particular thread are The Design Flaw, you and me. But, maybe you are delusional? That's the only thing that makes sense for all the flailing about you've been doing.

Expand full comment

I don't care who was "on this particular thread."

My post wasn't a reply to The Design Flaw, so why would you have expected it to be a "burn" on The Design Flaw?

You obviously saw The Design Flaw's post, then my post, then got confused and thought that my post was a reply to his post, and now instead of just admitting that you got confused, you're calling me delusional.

I don't know what the goal of that is. Maybe you're hoping that people are still reading this thread (which is more than 2 weeks old), somebody will see that you called me delusional, and think that there's a chance you're winning an argument? Because of course _I_ know you made a stupid mistake, and you calling me names is really just making you look stupider.

Zinc picolinate with copper is best and if you have the walking pneumonia version of Covid add a Z-pack

Ivermectin ASAP for 5 days. Use the protocol on the FLCCC.net website but the guy above I think got it right. Sending healing waves your way.

Good luck and take care! By now most physicians know how to treat Covid, but here is some common sense (not medical) advice from a retired Pharmacologist/ Toxicologist. If you received your mRNA jabs after contracting Covid and thus developing natural infection immunity, you should be fine. Just get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water; I prefer aspirin as an NSAID for its mild anticlotting effects.

No one healthy under age 50 died from Covid (according to Israel). Natural immunity is 27-fold more protective than the mRNA jabs (Gazit et al; suppressed for two years, but now available).

Most Covid infections today are the milder Omicron derivatives, so should not be a problem. If having breathing issues, go immediately to the ER and demand glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone and prednisone (forbidden the first six months of the pandemic by the WHO and Western Public Health, although reported in March, 2020 by the Chinese as effective treatment.)

If you received the mRNA jabs BEFORE contracting Covid, it may be a bit more serious. OAS suggests that the only strong immune response (unlike natural infection immunity) is the Spike Protein Antibody titer, designed for the old more virulent but less contagious Wuhan variant. Most Americans did not assiduously keep up with the crazed boosters, which means ADE is also a distinct possibility in the vaccinated. Also, contrary to State Media and the CDC blather, dangerous Covid variants are SELECTED for in the vaccinated only, who have a very limited range of antibody responses and not much immunity relative to natural infection immunity, which almost all unvaccinated have.

There is no harm and possible benefit from (the mildest fat soluble ) vitamin D3 and Zinc and other vitamins and nutrients.

Ivermectin until recently(?) had a meta-analysis website showing the results of about 100 clinical trials with a major prophylactic protective effect. For a while the website was marked “Dangerous Misinformation” and now seems to be gone? Not clear if much true efficacy, but relatively harmless (particularly compared to the mRNA vaccines!) Similarly hydroxychloroquine is of unknown efficacy, but, in contrast to State Media, the FDA and CDC’s claims, is safe acutely at therapeutic levels and even used to treat type II diabetes in India since 2014 (it does take weeks to reach therapeutic levels for malaria, lupus and diabetes, and thus best used for prophylaxis rather than treatment, unless SARS-CoV2 is much more sensitive to HCQ).

In contrast to ivermectin and HCQ, safe but of “unknown” efficacy, the mRNA vaccines were subject to a major Golden Standard Emergency Use Authorization clinical trial involving about 75,000 subjects, double-blinded with placebo controls. This EUA trial showed that there was NO PROTECTION FROM DEATH with the mRNA vaccines (Benn and Danish researchers, Table 1, suppressed but at least the preprint is still up). Thus we know the mRNA vaccines are ineffective against death (sort of important, unless money is the object), while alternatives are of unknown efficacy since the CDC and FDA, and Pharma, refused to run proper clinical trials; very expensive and may increase “vaccine hesitancy”. And possibly decrease profits. But no good reason to avoid most alternative treatments together with mRNA vaccines.

Get well, Matt! Boost your vitamin D, k2, C and zinc. You’ll be up and running in no time!

Funny thing, all the young folks got sick after a family wedding last weekend (also in the Midwest)...hubby and I drank less alcohol, got more sleep, but also stuck with our weekly IVM, and not even a sniffle (we’re in our 60s). I’m feeling a bit smug 😂
