Check taking the Azelastine nasal spray before going into large crowds (as infection is guaranteed when cases are starting to peak) as well. MedCram mentioned a 0.15% dose that can be taken two times (instead of three) with less bad taste.
It works apparently by reducing ACE2 binding by the virus.
Is this Azeladtine nasal spray the same as Astepro spray?
Yes, that’s the one with 0.15% and is OTC, you take it twice daily at that strength but I would take it before higher risk of exposure.
No way it can replace having the body full of LP.8.1 or JN.1 antibodies though.
I started using it couple weeks ago along with Profi spray.
That’s what I was going to read about next.
If SARS-COV-2 is the new smoking or lead it’s a good idea.
We were discussing this a couple weeks ago and Dr Bart said otc Astepro is one spray a day (but @A_User, are you saying for protection, we should use two?)
He also told me it tastes better than the rx, and I can vouch for that!! I tossed my rx due to the taste, but the otc version is fine (not great, but very tolerable).
If you’re going to match the study protocol of 0.10% spray 3 times a day is 0.15% two times a day.
Do read about the Profi spray as mentioned above.
How would you suggest incorporating both sprays?
How long before entering a crowd for astepro… and how do you time the profi (i don’t own this yet)
Until recently, I had been using Enovid. No idea if it did anything, but I was told it was harmless.
A caution from your resident outlier here: some of us metabolize azelastine very slowly. I had barely one short snort per nostril and it put me into a feeling-stupid sedation for over 24 hours. It was so bad that I wouldn’t use it before going out because I’d be too sedated to drive, let alone participate. (Now, if I got covid, I’d use it early and often, because it can prevent viral replication in the nose, but that’s another matter.)
Profi doesn’t develop any drowsiness. Azelastine may, but I don’t feel it - you are most likely sensitive to it.
FWIW I just got the (low dose) Moderna Spikevax. I had mild arm pain at the injection site for about a day and that was it. Compared to previous vaccines where I had fever and felt ill for at least 24 hours. I feel much better having received the additional protection of a vaccination moving into the winter months. Also got the flu vaccine.
Reporting back: For better or worse I went ahead and got both the new Moderna Covid vaccine and the flu shot on October 1. This was the first time I had ever double dosed. The side effects were somewhat worse than I had previously experienced, but were over and done in less than a day and a half, except for injection sites, which lasted another couple of days and never really bothered me much.
In the middle of harvest here, so I’ve found a few good videos. Stuff you guys won’t probably see:
Also finally Jimmy interviews John Campbell:
It would be great if we could keep this site free of such obvious misinformation
I wonder why they even bother writing about it on here when all of us “vaxx-cattle” are supposed to be dead anyway.
I can’t say this about everyone, but I 10000% believe Bicep has the best of intentions and is truly trying to help us. I don’t happen to agree with him regarding the covid vax, but I take his posts in the spirit I believe they are intended.
So do Jehova’s witnesses but we still tell them politely to go away.
You are correct; most of us probably wouldn’t see them. However, that said, the question of whether cancer rates are ‘skyrocketing’ or not should be statistically answerable at this time by comparing cancer types and rates among the vaccinated with those among the unvaccinated. Has this been done? If not, why not? And, of course, it should be independent of big pharma influence.
This Saturday, I and my wife are getting both the flu and covid Moderna vax. There’s always some risk, but I figure the risk associated with not getting the vax and going through a nasty infection is the bigger risk. It’s like seatbelts. Seatbelts don’t prevent accidents, but can help to ameliorate injury - yes, there is the risk of getting trapped by the seatbelt and burning, but that’s not a reason to not use seatbelts, as the benefit in case of accidents strongly outweighs the risk of trapping. Of course, if you have a bad reaction to a vax, you should skip it, but consider that there are other vaxes which might be a better fit, like perhaps Novavax.
Ulitmately, it’s your decision, and I don’t believe in forcing people to take it or not take it. It’s your body.
