Giving Thanks in All Things - Even Through the Pandemic

 

Realizing many have been ill and many have died, there is no doubt the virus is real.  There is also no doubt, we have much to doubt in the numbers and information we've been given.   There is also a significant number of us, for various reasons, who have grave doubt in the vaccine.

Many of us have experienced the virus that has over a 98% recovery rate.  Last year when this began, I asked Father for the natural remedy.  I truly believe this virus is not naturally occurring, and before Operation Warp Speed was even announced, I was putting together some natural formulas.  The next hurdle I faced was how to share this information without being accused of "practicing medicine without a license."  Not to brag, but I do have the same medical degree as Bill Gates.

So, the formulas have been recorded and blended.  Rather than make any recommendations for alternative remedies, I'll simply share what I did, and did not do, when I contracted the virus.  We do have supplements and vitamins, but we have absolutely no over-the-counter products such as acetaminophen or any cough suppressants.  I had already ordered Vitamins C and D, as well as Zinc.  I raise elderberries, so elderberry juice is a staple in this household.  I was not informed, until after the fact, that Mr. B had emptied his jar of elderberry juice and not opened a new one . . . Fast forward to the trip to town.

Mr. B came home from town, with a story about a man who was vaccinated and had been sick since he'd received the vaccine.  He even stated that this was the first time he'd been out of his home in over a week!  Obviously, I cannot say this is where Mr. B was exposed, but in less than 72 he was sneezing and coughing. When he complained that the coffee was weak and flavorless, my antenna went up.   I suggested Granny's remedy of honey, lemon, and whiskey.  He ran a low-grade fever one evening.  After the fever broke, he was sleeping later, napping in the afternoon, and tiring early in the evening.  I already had Magein in the diffuser and was adding garlic to everything I was cooking. 

He still had symptoms but was improving, when the virus hit me the following week.  The loss of smell and taste was immediate and intense.  Flavorless coffee, first thing in the morning, was a bit of a disappointment, but not surprising, in that I had already sensed the loss of taste when brushing my teeth.  It's a bit strange to be unable to taste the peppermint in the toothpaste.  Since the symptoms are listed on numerous websites, I won't go into great detail regarding mine, as they were pretty much the reported standard symptoms.  I will say this about the cough.  It literally felt like my trachea and bronchi were lined with cling wrap.  

I used the formulas I had prayed for and in less than two weeks could definitely feel the recovery.  There have been plenty of things that have been bad news, but I've read the Book.  Ultimately, this does not end badly!
