My Covid Experience and Medical Freedom
Do Not Be Afraid
It has been nearly three weeks since I tested positive for COVID. I contracted it from my disabled Mom and tested positive eight days after she did. My Mom knew she had COVID because she had lost her taste and smell and then tested positive twice the next morning.
As for me, I really did not know that I contracted COVID because the onset of symptoms were very slow and it was very unique, unlike any illness that I ever had before in my life. I noticed an increased heart rate a few days, which I think some of it was due to anxiety in the beginning. I had back pain and muscle pain for four hours one night, which went away and then I started coughing that night and a few days before I finally tested positive. My basement was extraordinarily cold, which could have been from COVID, but I think it was from a cold wave hitting my area. I never had a sore throat, I blew my nose minimally for a week, no headache and minimal congestion. My O2 level was no lower than 95% and often times was 97-99%. Overall, it was very mild for me. The worst of the virus for me was by far dehydration and a low-grade fever for seven days. I drank a gallon of water each day with some electrolytes, but it was not enough.
Personally, I was prescribed by a doctor the early and aggressive treatment for COVID. I was on ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, Regeneron, vitamins and supplements, which I increased the zinc to 50 mg daily, hypertonic nasal spray and a mouthwash that I have been using for years. Furthermore, due to the dehydration, I decided to get an IV Super Immune Boost Fluid drip, which I took two hours after the Regeneron. When the nurse that administered the IV Fluid drip checked my vitals, she noticed that I was already improving after taking Regeneron. However, I credit everything combined because of the mildness of the illness for me.
The next day after I took the Regeneron and IV Fluid drip, I was started to work on a few errands for a few minutes at a time and by the end of the week, I was nearly back to normal activity. I do need to add one note that I was originally on Azithromycin, which I have taken for years, however, my heart rate was accelerated after my second dose, so my doctor and I decided to switch up to doxycycline, which definitely worked well for me.
I have now fully recovered and in the next few days, I am starting a new exercise plan to lose the final 20-25 lbs on my weight loss journey that I have chronicled in different blogs and social media posts for years. I will write about this in detail on the Medical Freedom Substack in the near future. But I prepared myself for 8 1/2 years for this moment by losing over 250 lbs without surgery in two different waves.
So I want to greatly thank the doctor and his incredible staff for helping me out greatly during the illness. This person is an incredible Godsend and not only did he treat me successfully for COVID, he also calmed me down to the point where I no longer in fear of the virus anymore. I faced it head on, did what I was supposed to do and persevered.
For those who have been following me on any social media platform, I have chronicled my fear of the virus and vaccines because of my blood disorder that I have had for more than 25 years called chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which results in a low blood platelet count. I was assuming that if and when I contracted COVID that I would experience the classic symptoms that I heard about for nearly two years. Those symptoms were fevers, headaches, muscle aches, decreased O2 levels and trouble breathing. Then I was frightened about the possibility of going to the hospital, getting Remdesivir, which does nothing to treat COVID, being put on a ventilator and dying a horrible death like 5.6 million people have experienced so far.
However, COVID was like nothing that I have ever experienced in my life. It was not like any other respiratory infection that I experienced in the past 10-15 years. Usually, for me, it takes 4-6+ weeks to fully recover from a respiratory infection. In the case of COVID, it took me less than 3 weeks to fully recover.
So I have to ask the $1 million question on why did it take me less time to recover from COVID than a normal upper respiratory infection??? I credit two things on this.
First, I credit losing 100 lbs during the pandemic and getting down to 212 lbs when I got sick. However, I will admit that 10 lbs of that weight loss was caused by me not eating properly and starving my body, which is why I worked on gaining weight immediately after I recovered. There were signs of it as well, such as my blood pressure going up to 155/97. I took my blood pressure the other day and it was at 134/80 and I have been eating a lot in the past 10 days.
Second, I sadly credit my meteorological experience in having to prepare for COVID like a natural disaster. I had the medicine on hand a few days before I tested positive in preparation for me contracting COVID after my Mom tested positive. I also used the same monoclonal antibody treatment company from home that my Mom used, who told me that I qualified a week before I came out with the illness. I knew that my primary care doctor would not prescribe me medication for this. Heck, when I had an upper respiratory infection, I was not prescribed anything for days until I started having a mid to high-grade fever and blowing yellow mucus out of my nose. I would not fully recover for weeks. I want to start treatment on DAY ONE, not day five or more.
There is one thing that I still greatly fear, but now that I have contracted COVID, I will not touch this with a million foot pole. I greatly fear the vaccines. I posted in December about the more than 30 research papers about ITP/TTP and the COVID vaccines, but yet, my corporate hematologist is still advising me to get it in three months. If I was not getting vaccinated before COVID, I am certainly not getting any shots post-COVID knowing that I have natural immunity.
Speaking of natural immunity, the CDC just recently came out saying that natural immunity was six times stronger during the Delta wave than the vaccines. So if that is the case, the vaccines can only do more harm than good to my immune system and could exasperate my chronic ITP. I will get my antibodies checked out in the near future and I will write about that as well. But even if I don’t have the antibodies anymore or even never had COVID in the first place, which I doubt since both my Mom and I tested positive on a home test immediately, I do not fear the virus anymore. We have to live with the fact that COVID is going to circulate around like four other coronaviruses have been for decades and centuries and weaken to the point where it becomes the common cold.
What I have learned during all of this is that I need a new hematologist to handle my chronic blood disorder and a primary care doctor that can treat me properly whenever I feel sick. I no longer trust either one of them and when a patient no longer trusts their doctor(s), it is time to search for new ones. Based on where I live, it is going to be difficult to find new doctors that I can trust. Could it be entirely possible that I have to move to another part of the country in order to find new doctors??? This answer could be yes and it will be discussed by my family if I have trouble finding a doctor that I can trust.
What we need as humans is Medical Freedom from the corporate medical establishment and Big Pharma. Doctors must be allowed to treat their patients without being afraid of having their medical licenses suspended or worse. The relationship between the doctor and the patient must return, along with individualized care. Doctors, especially in the corporate medical establishment, have been treating their patients in an one-size-fits-all protocol for decades, which had led to malpractice, injuries and deaths of countless people. Many of the commercials that I see, especially on the weather channels, are for lawsuits for medications and other drugs that have been recalled from the shelves.
Like I said in my first Substack post, this is much more than COVID and we must all come together to speak out against the medical tyranny by the corporate media establishment and Big Pharma. We must support medical freedom worldwide against mandates, vaccines, masks (which I now no longer support cloth masks use based on recent data) and any tyrannical policies that have nothing to do with the virus.
I strongly suggest that you watch the Defeat the Mandates - An American Homecoming march that took place in Washington, DC on Sunday, January 23. The doctors, scientists and those who are questioning the narrative who spoke are some of the bravest people in the world. I will work on a Substack entry in the next few days about this and some of the highlights from this incredible day.
I am working with Mathew Crawford, who runs the very successful Rounding the Earth Substack, on Operation Uplift Wristband, where you can show your Medical Freedom solidarity. My profile photo on here is what the wristband looks like with Mathew’s Substack on the other side.
If you’re interested in purchasing wristbands, please email us at operationuplift@protonmail.com.
Here are the prices, which includes shipping in the United States. You will need to pay for shipping if you live outside of the US.
10 for $10
50 for $40

You can read Mathew’s Substack for information about Operation Uplift, which recently started a Substack.
It is time for us to stand up against the medical tyranny that has devastated humanity around the world for the past generation and let’s stand up for MEDICAL FREEDOM.
Lastly, this Substack will never do what other social media feeds have done and ridicule, harass and taunt people based on vaccination status. Medical Freedom is for everyone, even those who want to be in the tyrannical rule of the corporatists in the medical field. Like I have said, this is much more than just COVID.
