My anti-crud protocol is in full swing today because I woke up with that unmistakable feeling of fighting off a virus. I am not surprised, since I've been (over)working outdoors in the cold and been around a LOT of people at the markets I've set up at (and heard a lot of coughing and sniffling). First things first is ZINC LOZENGES every 2 hours, but did you know that most on the market are a waste of money? I wrote a big article that explains the science of effective zinc lozenges and one of the papers I cite says "very few of more than 40 different brands of zinc lozenges on the US market are expected to have any effect on the duration or severity of common colds." Luckily these inexpensive lozenges tick all the marks for a scientifically-backed formulation that works to treat the common cold: right form, right dosage, adequate dissolve time, no masking ingredients that inactivate the zinc ions. # You can swipe to see more of what I'm taking today, including some #chineseherbs in that Wellness Liquid which contains a classical formula called #YinChiao. I also got #guasha on the key areas of my neck and back, and am waiting for a huge pot of #congee to finish cooking. Otherwise, I'm resting and hoping I nip this in the bud today! Read more details about the requirements for an effective zinc lozenge as well more info about the rest of my protocol in my article. # https://thecuriouscoconut.com/blog/effective-zinc-lozenges-cold-flu-chinese-medicine #zinclozenges #naturalremedies #immunesupport #herbalmedicine (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Dokz6gGSf/?igshid=g333oy2b265c
