Four weeks ago I lost my sense of smell and taste. I had lung congestion but no nasal congestion. Nose didn't run at all. I assumed that I had Covid and followed this protocol which helped me to fight it off. I-MASK+ Protocol Downloads & Translations | FLCCC | Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (I have a big parasite problem and this protocol was helpful for that, too.)
It took almost a week to get my test result, which ended up being negative. I didn't bother to get another test because I was starting to feel better. But I hardly coughed and my symptoms lingered. Some smell came back, but only erratically and for really bad smells. After 3.5 weeks my lungs got worse. I started wheezing and had pain in my chest. My husband had read about using a nebulizer with hydrogen peroxide for treating Covid, through the work of Mercola and Dr, David Browstein. (My husband is in his 70s and has lung issues. I have been quarantining away from him all month.) Anyhow, he got me a nebulizer and I decided to start with baking soda, because it was easier to figure out, and I have a longstanding problem of not enough CO2.
My first time nebulizing baking soda felt miraculous. I even felt a bit high from it. Afterwards, I easily coughed up and expelled mucus from my lungs. My lungs felt immediately better. By the next morning, all my lung pain and wheezing had subsided.
When nebulizing the baking soda, I used a mask, breathed slowly, and deeply relaxed. (I tried the mouthpiece briefly and it felt horrible.) I also stood up and did gentle unraveling movements. (As part of my healing, I have done a lot of movement, which is probably similar to what people here have called myofascial release.) Nebulizing baking soda facilitated a lot of physical release for me. A lot of physical knots seemed to effortlessly release. My energy went down into my feet, and my feet felt especially warm and grounded. These full body effects were completely unexpected and surprising; a welcome side benefit to the lung healing.
Over the following few days I continued to nebulize the baking soda, but afterward I didn't feel well in other ways. I got cold and couldn't warm up, had a headache and felt slightly nauseous. I backed off of nebulizing. Then, this morning I nebulized the baking soda again, and finally realized that I was getting too much oxygen and depleting my CO2. After nebulizing this morning I felt well enough to exercise and do some breath retaining physical exercises. I rebalanced my CO2 and have felt well ever since. I am going to increase the amount of baking soda and nebulize for shorter next time. But also I will try to reduce my breathing while nebulizing and see if that helps. My lungs feel so much better, but I can tell that they are still compromised.
I also intend to gradually try nebulizing other things. The nebulizer feels like a key item to have on hand to deal with the Coronavirus, as well as any other cough, cold, flu, or cleanse. I had been making good progress with Buteyko style reduced breathing, so I had been expecting a cleanse. But this was more intense than any past cold, cleanse, or lung issue that I have dealt with before. I feel grateful that my symptoms were relatively mild compared to so many others with Covid. I hope this post helps others trying to regain their lung function from Covid or other things.
