Vitamin A 10,000 units/d – can increase up to 100,000 U for 1-2 weeks
Vitamin C 1000-4000 mg/d – can increase “to bowel tolerance” indefinitely (gas, bloating, loose stools, back off) and maintain at the highest dose as long as you don’t get lose stools or diarrhea. Example 1 – take 1000 mg every half hour. After let’s say 3 hours getting gas, bloating. Then you might skip an hour and try 1000 mg later. Maximum does will very from person to person and illness to illness. Example 2 – when I was 28 I had adult chicken pox. Sickest I have ever been. Took 40,000 mg of vitamin C daily orally (10 teaspoons) and IV 80-90 grams (80,000-90,000) no diarrhea. Three weeks later couldn’t take 5000 mg of vitamin C orally would get loose stools
Vitamin D 5000 – 10,000 IU/d – can increase up to 50,000 IU daily for 1-2 weeks

For any nasal or sinus congestion from allergies, colds, flu or any upper respiratory infection – bacterial or viral – works better than nasal washes, Neti pot, etc.
1. Plug the sink
2. Put in 2-3 tablespoons of salt (any kind)
3. Fill the sink up with hot water
4. Test hot water with your chin before sticking your whole face in
5. If you must add a bit of cold water to get your face in do so
6. Goal – the hotter the water the better — but don’t burn yourself
7. Immerse your chin, mouth, nose, eyes in the water (ears out of the water)
8. Hold for 5 seconds
9. Lift your face out of the water and blow your nose. Then put your face back in the water
10. Do this a total of 5 times
11. Times 3-5 you can allow water to seep up your nostril if you like. Don’t have to snort it.
12. Do this morning and evening

Nasal Flush in Shower
1) In the shower you can just cup your hands to catch the water then snort it and spit it out. But this stings quite a bit.
2) Fill small Tupperware container with “tepid” water and 2 tablespoons of salt. Get blue bulbed syringe and cut tip off so it fits without going too far up your nose. Draw up salt water. Tilt head forward and put bulb in one nostril and squirt water in one nostril. Will come out on other side. Spit into shower.

Diet
1. Whole foods – no processed foods – no added oils or sugars, minimally processed
grains – whole grain products is best. High in fiber per serving.
2. Low Allergy – See BED Diet handout of allowed foods to shop for (eliminate dairy,
wheat and egg products at least) https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/educationalhandouts/Kirks-21-Day-Healthy-Living-Busy-People-Program+6+page+handout.pdf
3. Plant-Based mostly – 90% or more should be plant-based. Less than a palmful
of animal food per day
4. Mostly fruits and vegetables – the more color the more range of antioxidant
compounds. And the more inflammation reducing the diet is (less swollen glands,
mucous in lungs and sinuses)
5. Only eat whole, unprocessed complexed carbohydrates (whole grains, beans,
lentils, peas, yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash, root vegetables).
6. Raw nuts and seeds 1-2 palmfuls per day.

Comments and Thoughts on Covid 19 Risk Factors
Those who are over 70 year of age and who have heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases and cancers have increased risk of dying from Covid 19 infection. These are the chronic diseases that a whole food plant-based diet is so effective in treating. It is also an anti-inflammatory diet that can reduce inflammation in the lungs (no dairy, processed wheat products, eggs, meats…) reducing the risk to respiratory distress. Fruit and vegetable consumption are linked to lower respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Also, vegetables and fruits are the sources of powerful antioxidants and plant phytochemicals that help reduce inflammation, protect your airways and lead to their dilating.
