'I'm a GP and I'm doing 7 things to avoid catching new Covid XEC variant, you should too'

As the Covid XEC variant surges, GP Dr Matthew Calcasola reveals the seven things he is doing to boost his immune system to try to avoid catching the virus

1. Catch plenty of zzz
2. Drink up
3. Eating well
4. Keep moving
5. Have a mindful moment
6. Have a drip
7. Say yes to vaccinations

FFS.

 

None of this will reduce the chance of infection. It could maybe help reducing the severity of the problems associated with infection but I wouldn't count on it.

 

There are several articles written about all his recommendations for 'better health'. He is part of a medical team for 'Get a Drip'

 

Yes, and avoid this GP

 

. . . studying the work of Dr. John Myers.

I remember when Myers Cocktails were recommended for pwME.

 

None of the first five helped me avoid EBV and ME. Only the final one would have any potential benefit, and even that is not a guaranteed preventative. Indeed for a very small percentage vaccination itself could trigger a Long Covid type condition.

As said above the only sure fire way to avoid Covid or Long Covid is to avoid any exposure to the virus.

 

My youngest daughter ( with ME) had a hospital appointment this afternoon.
As you exit the foyer to the various departments there was a sign noting all the local NHS was doing to combat COVID.
All based on droplet theory.
We were the only people wearing masks .

 

Where on earth is the average person supposed to get one of those?

 

lol expensive wee
Take a multivitamin if you must

Someone needs to start parodying people like this. Or lists like this.

I mean look how much ME rates reduced when mindfulness became more commonly done by us all in certain times when it came into fashion? Or Did they get this one from comparing the stats for communes with less mindful city workers? Even though they don’t actually keep good stats at all for me/cfs as part of the ruse? So it must just be long covid? Or more likely it was one of those 5000 questions some poor me/LC patients had to fill in and they’d lost the ability to even see by half way through so all ticked that they were indeed deficient on it compared to the norm?


What’s the have a drip one? The rest is basically those who behave right don’t get as ill mantra they’ve all been conned into pushing, but it doesn’t seem to be specific at all to the illness at hand

 

Literally not a single one of those things will help avoid catching a virus. Not even one. Only the last one will help prevent severe illness, but not catching it. This is actually impressive. Being an expert and managing a 0 on basic recommendations about a common problem.

Medicine is basically returning into folklore. Well, a split anyway. Parts of it regressing back, the basics, while the cutting edge veers into science fiction. The extreme weirdness of humanity in a nutshell.

 

I'm a 14th-century doctor and I'm doing these things to avoid catching the Black Death:

1. Wear a leather hat with a long pointy nose
2. Wave a bundle of herbs
3. Avoid miasma
4. Drink your own urine
5. Confess sins
6. Apply a live toad to any swelling
7. Massacre some heretics. If you can't find any, accuse your neighbours of heresy and massacre them.

 

People were actually better at avoiding the Black Death than we are of Covid. Isolation, coins in vinegar…Obviously they had their share of

 

They are everywhere now. There are over a dozen spa type IV bars in my city alone. They even have mobile IV treatments for 'big events' and private parties.

The sad part is that I know of several pwME who wasted tons of cash on this.

 

I haven't caught a cold, flu or Covid for the last 3 years which is very unusual for me. I still go out double masked and sanitize my hands. I catch buses and trains around people with obvious colds, probably Covid as well. The masks do work very well along with sanitizing.

To leave masks off the list makes no sense.

I had one doctor tell me the flu was more deadly than Covid. I wasn't buying that. In 2021 the American stats were showing Covid was the 3rd highest killer in most states after the usual cancer and heart related deaths.
