ANOTHER COVID DAY

 11/25/2021

I will call this day 5 of the Covid Chronicles and on this day I received a little blessing.   A small amount of my sense of smell apparently returned or was accessed.  I made some ginger tea this morning with honey and a Halls cough drop and as I lifted the teacup I actually smelled the ginger.  My mouth was closed.   This is significant to me because last night I couldn't smell the bleach or the pine cleaner at all and those are normally strong scents for me.  It is definitely a sign that I may regain this sense.

For years I have proclaimed that sinus solutions are essential.  Even though they are not supposedly scientifically proven, I think they are not only highly valuable in day-to-day life, but a key tool in this pandemic. They should definitely be considered if you are anti-vaccine or if you don't trust the medications offered to you.

Think about it.....salt is a purifier.  It disinfects.  And just as it has been said that the stomach is the key to key things in our life, the sinuses are just as important.  Throughout the pandemic, we have been told to keep our hands clean and to keep them away from our eyes, nose, and mouth.  The ears, nose, and throat are connected.  In my past, anything that starts in my throat, if unstopped travels to my throat, and if not stopped moves to my lungs.  I normally use a saline wash every day or every other day if I feel absolutely no symptoms of sinus distress.    When I felt ill this past Thursday evening I used it. I increased the usage Friday and Saturday.  I didn't cough very much through all of this and the only mucus I produced came from my nose blowing.  I am still using the solution three or four times a day during this positive period..  I have a little mucus in my throat.  I gargle with salt water and occasionally clear my throat but I have not coughed up any phlegm.

I sincerely feel that my use of this solution made it easier to deal with Covid.  Some of you may say it was the vaccine, but in theory, I should not have gotten sick because I have both doses of the vaccine.  I never completely trusted the vaccine to work.  I had more faith in masks, social distancing and my saline solution along with having the vaccine.  I do feel that if my sense of smell comes back 100% it would be because of that saline solution I use, plus a few other holistic treatments.
