Make some quinine and do some the night before and a big 4oz shot right before you leave for the funeral.

Also dose yourself with some Ivermectin (I only use the horse paste) 1" of paste for up to 100lbs of body weight. NO MORE THAT 1 7/8" if over 200 lbs. I would do this a few days before the funeral as well as the day of.

Quinine Recipe Homemade HCQ (quinine)

  • HOME RECIPE FOR HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE (HCQ):

    THE DRUG THAT IS CURRENTLY TREATING THIS VIRUS…..WATCH BELOW AS I SHOW YOU THE RECIPE AND HOW TO MAKE THIS SOLUTION AT HOME, MINUS BIG PHARMAS FILLERS AND PRESERVATIVES.

    2. THAT’S RIGHT……..THIS IS THE REAL REASON THAT THE DRUG COMPANIES WERE FURIOUS ABOUT THIS CURE. NOT ONLY HAS IT PROVEN TO ELIMINATE THIS VIRUS….BUT OTHERS AS WELL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG KEPT SECRET…BUT TRUMP BLEW THAT FOR THEM RIGHT AWAY.

    3. WHAT IS HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE EXACTLY? IT IS NOTHING BUT QUININE. SOMETHING THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE AT HOME….AND SOMETHING THAT IS BEING MANUFACTURED EACH AND EVERY DAY IN THE FORM OF SOMETHING WE HAVE ALL SEEN AT THE GROCERY AND LIQUOR STORES………NONE OTHER THAN TONIC WATER.

    4. THIS DRUG BEING USED TO TREAT THE COVID VIRUS HAS. THIS WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE LEAKED OUT…BECAUSE EVEN A FULL TREATMENT REGIME OF PILLS FROM THE DOCTOR IS LESS THAN A 100.00 FOR SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE.

    5. SOMETHING ELSE YOU MAY FIND INTERESTING IS THAT WHEN THEY CREATED THIS VIRUS, THEY ALSO PUT A STRAIN OF HIV IN IT. THIS WAS TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE FATAL. BUT... GUESS WHAT?

    6. THE QUININE KILLED THAT PART OF THE AIDS VIRUS AS WELL. CAN YOU SEE NOW WHY THEY WERE SCREAMING THAT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS DRUG AND NOT TO DARE USE IT. BEHIND THE SCENE STUDIES ARE NOW COMING FORTH THAT SHOW IT BEING EFFECTIVE OTHER DISEASES AS WELL AND EVEN ON CANCERS.

    7. I THINK IN THE DAYS TO COME, WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN WE EVER THOUGHT WE KNEW. IF YOU LISTENED TO OUR PRESIDENT THIS WEEK, HE SAID THAT “IN ONE YEAR, EVERY TREATMENT THAT WE ARE NOW USING IN THE HOSPITALS WILL BE OBSOLETE”. WHAT DOES HE KNOW?

    8. HE KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE WITHHELD THESE CURES TO KEEP PEOPLE SICK AND TO MAKE MILLIONS OFF OF INSURANCE COMPANIES.

    9. QUININE HAS MANY USES AND APPLICATIONS. IT IS ANALGESIC, ANESTHETIC, ANTIARRHYTHMIC, ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIMALARIAL, ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIPARASITIC, ANTIPYRETIC, ANTISEPTIC, ANTISPASMODIC, ANTIVIRAL, ASTRINGENT, BACTERICIDE, CYTOTOXIC, FEBRIFUGE, FUNGICIDE, INSECTICIDE, NERVINE,

    10. STOMACHIC, TONIC…….SO YOU CAN BE SURE THAT BIG PHARMA IS SCARED TO DEATH AT THIS POINT AND SCREAMING THAT THIS DRUG DOES NOT WORK…WHEN THE ENTIRE WORLD SEES THAT IT IS WORKING.

    11. IF YOU EVER FEEL A CHEST COLD COMING ON OR JUST FEEL LIKE CRAP…. MAKE YOUR OWN QUININE. IT IS MADE OUT OF THE PEELINGS OF GRAPEFRUITS AND LEMONS, …BUT ESPECIALLY GRAPEFRUITS. I WILL GIVE YOU THE RECIPE HERE AND YOU TAKE THIS CONCOCTION THROUGHOUT THE DAY…

    12. OR YOU CAN MAKE A TEA OUT OF IT AND DRINK IT ALL DAY. THIS SHOULD TAKE AWAY ALL YOUR FEARS ABOUT THIS VIRUS, BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE THE DEFENSE AGAINST IT AND MANY OTHER THINGS.

    13. IF YOU TAKE ZINC WITH THIS RECIPE, THE ZINC PROPELS THE QUININE INTO YOUR CELLS FOR A MUCH FASTER HEALING.

    14. HERE IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN QUININE……………………………TAKE THE RIND OF 2-3 GRAPEFRUITS. TAKE THE PEEL ONLY AND COVER IT WITH WATER ABOUT 3 INCHES ABOVE THE PEELS.PUT A GLASS LID ON YOUR POT IF YOU HAVE ONE….A METAL ONE IS FINE IF YOU DON’T.

    15. LET IT SIMMER FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. DO NOT TAKE THE LID OFF OF THE POT TILL IT COOLS COMPLETELY AS THIS WILL ALLOW THE QUININE TO ESCAPE IN THE STEAM.

    16. SWEETEN THE TEA WITH HONEY OR SUGAR SINCE IT WILL BE BITTER. TAKE 1 TABLESPOON EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS TO BRING UP THE PHLEGM FROM YOUR LUNGS. DISCONTINUE AS SOON AS YOU GET BETTER.

    17. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH THOSE THAT NEED TO REDUCE FEAR AND ALLOW THEM TO SEE THAT GOD IN ALL OF HIS GLORY, PROVIDES US WITH ALL THAT WE NEED

    18. JUST FOR TRUTHS SAKE, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IN ADDITION TO THIS, DOCTORS ARE ALSO PRESCRIBING THE ANTIBIOTIC AZYTHROMICIN (ZPACK). FOR THE RECORD, I AM NOT A DOCTOR OF ANY SORTS AND ONLY OFFER THIS FROM MY OWN DATA RESEARCH.

    19. I AM NOT PRESCRIBING THIS IN ANY WAY, AND IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL READING THIS TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION WHAT THEY WANT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR FREEDOM FROM THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

  • To make LARGE QUANTITY (Quarts/ Half-Gallons)…
12 grapefruits, gutted (quarter up the peals)

4 lemons, gutted (quarter up the peals)

I use a stock pot that is 6.5" tall and 11.25" wide and you need a cover for it!!!! (If you have a smaller pot, just cut the number of grapefruits and lemons in half)

Fill pot with water up to 3/4's to the top

Put in peals

Turn on high until water starts to boil then turn to low simmer for 6-8 hours (Burn candles when you cook this or else your house will stink!) NEVER REMOVE LID FROM POT (quinine is in that steam! Lift the lid and you're releasing the quinine).

I usually put my pot on around 1:00 pm. That way it's done between 7-9pm. Then I turn the stove off and let it sit over night COVERED.

The next morning I pull out the peals, then ladle the quinine into jars, zip-lock bag them and freeze.

For the third time, B.E., that IS NOT QUININE. Will you please stop posting it? It is not quinine, which comes from the bark of the Chincon tree, not from citrus.

What everyone else said, N95, definitely up the Vit D and Zinc with C, etc.

Not to scare you any more than you already are, but we had a good friend and former coworker of DH who went to a family funeral in VW, and a bunch of them came down with the virus right afterward. Friend (no comorbidities that we know of) was in the ICU for several weeks (is totally fine now), oddly his wife and daughter-in-law never got it or tested positive for it. I believe his son also got it, but not as severely.

Prayers for you and yours.

My father passed away last year during the first lockdown so we only had our immediate family at the funeral. There were many others who wanted to be there but couldn't because of the lockdown and we understood why they couldn't come --- so the funeral home put the funeral online for those who couldn't attend. This might be an option for you too. It's not ideal, but it is an option.

God has a plan, Trust it!
I've been to a LOT of funerals, even over the last two years. I find it so odd when I hear that it isn't a common place for people. My husband had only been to one funeral in his life for his sister when he moved up here. And that is odd for me, because he has the larger immediate family. He is one of nine and his mother is one of 9. I'm an only child. But I think culture plays a part. I'm Italian, so my extended family is large and lots of elders in the family too. We just do family different than most of the country. I am extremely close to my cousins, second cousins, etc. We used to get together at least monthly for birthdays and such, but not since Covid.

Life goes on, death goes on. If you go, wear a mask. When you come back, make arrangements to stay elsewhere for the 14 days and quarantine yourself from your wife.

Of course given the "statistics" of Covid death...

www.worldlifeexpectancy.com

HEALTH PROFILE UNITED STATES

View selected causes of death and population dynamics for United States including Life Expectancy by age and history, age adjusted death rates and world rankings for the top 50 causes and total deaths by cause.
www.worldlifeexpectancy.com www.worldlifeexpectancy.com

For the just ended 30 days.
Covid Cases (all outcomes) = 1.076million
Covid Deaths = 10,768
US Population = 333,299,583

Your chances of contacting and dying of Covid are 0.00003 CURRENTLY

Since the beginning of Covid (March 2020)
Covid Cases (all outcomes) = 41.22million
Covid Deaths = 669,205

Your overall chances of contacting and dying of Covid in this duration is 0.0201

To put this in perspective,

Fall causing death = 39,443 for 2021 USA CAUSES OF DEATH BY AGE AND GENDER

Your overall chances of dying in a fall is 39,443/333,299,583 =0.00012

In other words, your chances of dying in a fall is 0.00012/0.000003 or 3.94 times dying of Covid.

You don't take any special precautions against falls like living your life on the first floor, avoiding ladders & step stools, and NEVER sitting in a bar stool?

Notable in the above chart links that Covid does not make the Top 50 causes of death.

There is a cherry picked Covid Death Simulator in the first chart link which shows Covid incidence rate ABOVE heart disease - but this is a "cumulative" display structured to bring in Covid Data all the way back to March 2020 and is presented simply to bring Covid statistically to the top. (alarmist display.)

Lies, more lies, & Statistics.

Were I human and could attend the funeral, I would go, use a face mask for person to person condolences (to virtue signal my concern for others health) Use antiseptic wash when offered. And not make even a mention about there being a hazard.

A funeral is not about you.

My SIL recovered from cancer, but had permanent damage from radiation and chemo, including congestive heart failure.

Her doctor recommended she get vaxxed. So she did. Within 48 hours, she was in the ER with major breathing problems. She spent several days in the hospital with that. She got out and short time later, she got the second jab.

That is when all hell broke loose. She soon began internal bleeding. They did every imaging test imaginable, and could never find the source of the bleeding. They finally said it is bleeding in her capillaries, and that is why they cannot locate a specific source.

She has spent more time in the hospital than at home since that second shot.

It does not look like she is going to make it.

She will have a traditional funeral with a viewing and a service inside the chapel of a very popular Memphis funeral home. This is an indoor area that I will be trapped in, probably for several hours, with many other people. Many who have been vaxxed (and might be shedding the virus), and some who might even have Covid right now themselves.

In addition, I have no idea how many people who died of Covid that they have provided a final service for in that same room. Delta varient is all around these parts.

I CANNOT get out of attending this funeral. I an unvaccinated by choice (I am not convinced of their safety), but heck - there are vaccinated people all over the place who are getting Covid anyway, so why would I ever consider the vaccination to be a hedge of protection?

But I also have a wife at home who is immunocompromised. I must protect myself for her sake, as well as my own.

I CANNOT refuse to attend this funeral (for reasons I cannot discuss here, so please do not ask). It really is non-negotiable.

So I am in need of suggestions how I can protect myself - and keep myself from bringing the virus home to her, given the situation.

Your insights and suggestions will be appreciated.

Call the funeral home and see if they have an air purifier system if not you could just forgo the indoor services and just plan on attending the burial at the grave site.

The only way to be safe is to be the guest of honor. Anything else is a risk to some degree.

Use as many of the suggested preps as you feel comfortable with. I add a colloidal silver nose spray to mine. YMMV of course.

Neither here nor there.
You can't unfortunately. The only upside is most funeral are live streamed now, so that people can attend remotely. Ask so see if the funeral is going to be live streamed, if so get the addy for the stream and watch from the safety of your home.

Considering your situation both at home and the funeral...you might want to SERIOUSLY consider MOPP LEVEL 4 protection. No I'm not kidding.

iu


And remember, funerals are for the LIVING....not the dead. After all they are dead and in no need of a funeral, or anything else at the point as they are already gone. It's not worth dying to go to a funeral. If that hurts someone's feelings....so sad - too bad. Your FIRST obligation is to yourself and your wife and then the family.

Breathe. See what precautions the funeral home is planning. Plan your precautions.
For your wife's safety, I would plan to quarantine upon returning. So set up the space for quarantine and make any other arrangements for that beforehand so they are already in place when you return. I understand the must go very well.
You can do this. As for anyone that might have a fit over you wearing a PAPR or N100 respirator, remind them that vaccinated people can still get delta and you have someone that is especially susceptible in your life. Whether she is vaccinated or not. Because vaccine status is nontheir.

Which should be a solid 'no go' signal.

If he gets sick, who cares for his wife? What if he has to arrange another caregiver for his wife? That would be an additional risk that could be avoided by staying home. What if he gives it to his wife? She ends up even more at risk with a potential hospital stay.

"Family members, in-laws, I'm so sorry but I can not attend, because I cannot risk my wife's safety and life during this virulent resurgence of covid."

An extended family member just passed from a long term cancer battle. Family said, service is here at this time, if you are comfortable attending, please wear a mask.

If your own family isn't understanding of your's and your wife's situation Barry, I don't think they're worth risking two lives over family politics.

Saved, to glorify God.
Just read that research showed vaccinated people carried 250 times the viral load that unvaccinated people carry and could become superspreaders without symptoms.
So, STAY AWAY FROM VACCINATED PEOPLE.

Yeah, I didnt realize that she was not able to care for herself and he was the caregiver from the post. I suppose if you are adamant about going, you could hire a nurse for the quarantine to come in and care for her while you wait it out. But I wouldn't go if you are the caregiver, but that is my opinion. You have the living to worry about.

Barry, with all that you’re currently doing, and have been doing for years, to ensure your wife’s safety, I think you’d be fine to go. You’re already masking and even wearing gloves if I recall correctly. Your clothes should probably come off at the door when you return, shower and put on clean clothes.

As I’ve said before, God bless you for all you’re doing for your wife! She has a saint for a husband.

Oh, and prayers coming your way for this whole situation.

^^^ This! Your obligation is to your wife. If you have to choose between the two, your wife should come before your family of origin.

If you insist on going, I would do the following:

Wear N-95 mask (if not available, then wear KN95)
Protect your eyes if possible, wear eyeglasses or a face shield. Goggles are best but you'll look like a freak.

Cleaning the nose & throat is clinically proven to help keep viral load down, which may keep you from getting sick or only getting a mild case. I have read the research studies.

For nasal, I would get Xlear spray. Or make your own povodone-iodine spray and then do a couple of sprays into your nasal passages before and after funeral as well as every few hours that you are there. Both have been proven to be effective, not sure which one is better, if you can do both, then alternate between the two every couple of hours. Many people do nasal sprays wrong (I was one of them) Go to youtube and watch videos on how to properly spray so that it all does not go down your throat.

Povodone Iodine Spray recipe:
1.5 oz bottle of saline spray
2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) of 10% povodone-iodine solution << add this to the bottle of saline spray. Must be in these exact amounts/ratios.

Cleaning the throat:
Listerine or Scope < must use these brands, generic ok but read label, make sure ingredients are same.
Gargle as much as you can, at least 3 x day. I would take a small bottle of mouthwash in my pocket and gargle while I was there. When you gargle, must gargle for minimum of 30 seconds to kill the virus.

When you get home, consider doing a full nasal irrigation with the povodine-iodine recipe above (neti pot or neil med botle, you want the ratio of povodone-iodine to saline to be 1:20)

Continue doing the nasal sprays and gargle 3 x day until you are in the clear 10 days later. Have your wife do the same so she does not catch it from you.

The Eastern Virginia Medical School was putting out a protocol sheet a while back. The website no longer post the link to the document. However, I found a link to a third party website that post the protocol as of August 1st, 2020, so a little over a year old. The document contains prophylaxis suggestions. It is a cocktail of various vitamins and a few other substances that can be found fairly easily. As always, consult one's healthcare professional before taking anything if one isn't sure if the listed substance is safe, or if the dosage recommended is safe.


On edit, here is a link for the MATH+ Protocol with an updated date of Dec. 27th, 2020. Info starts on page 8 of the document:

I need to amend what I said above about using generic mouthwashes. I thought it was OK because the labels say the ingredients are the same but apparently, generic is not as effective.
Listerine Antiseptic is an alcohol-based eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate, and thymol formulation that historically has claimed numerous antimicrobial properties. It currently lists only a claim to kill germs that cause bad breath. Our tests show that it is highly effective at inactivating HCoV in solution (Table 3). Even at the lowest contact time of 30 s it inactivated greater than 99.99% of HCoV. Interestingly, other related products (Listerine Ultra, Equate Antiseptic, and CVS Antiseptic Mouth Wash), while showing substantial reductions, were not as efficient as Listerine Antiseptic (Table 3). These three products were unable to show a reduction of greater than 99.99% with 30-s contact time. Equate required 2-min contact time to show a greater 99.99% reduction.

Yes I have used it in my nose. However, be advised that research shows it can temporarily affect thyroid hormones so I do not use it daily since I am already a thyroid patient. (I will be using it daily for the duration of the illness if I test positive.) I use it occasionally when I have been exposed to more people than usual. There are a few medical doctors (ENT) on youtube and elsewhere online that use this formula daily so YMMV. The P/I solution should not be stronger than .05% after you mix it with saline. For daily use, I do Listerine and Xclear

Wow I would have thought that it would have felt like a blow torch up your nose. But the .05% must be dilute enough. Iodine is very corrosive to skin tissue, nose and lung tissue.

Remember, you're starting off with 10% PI solution and then diluting it further with saline. There are lots of research articles if you do a search. Some of them say that lower % (less then .05) may be effective. It does not burn my nose, but like I said, I decided not to use it daily. It may feel different if you are using a neti pot. One of the articles said around 42% of the subjects had thyroid hormones affected but went back to normal after the study concluded IIRC.

Barry Natchitoches haven't seen an update to if you went or not. If not, please consider getting some counseling or therapy? Closure is important. IMHO funerals are for the living to get closure on the death of a loved one.

With Covid I was surprised no Zoom option was offered. Might sound tacky but for the medically compromised it may be a viable option.

When one of our kids was young we unfortunately excluded him from a funeral of his Great Aunt. He was more affected by her death than we appreciated at the time. A thanatologist suggested he write her a letter and read it at her grave. He did and we also said a few prayers. The impromptu ceremony provided the needed closure.
