Perhaps the use of cyproheptadine might also be beneficial then as well. Good news for people with the long haul issue though. I have a friend that has a friend that got COVID three months ago and still isn’t back to normal, no energy, motivation and sleep issues. Besides vitamin D and zinc Benadryl and Ivermectin may also help with this.Hey guys, remember how I posted that Walter Chestnut was saying Covid essentially turned your body into a one big horrific allergic overreaction?
Long Covid patients immediately turned up and said all of them are taking two types of antihistamines to control their symptoms.
Then people with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome showed up and said ivermectin helps them. They are apparently the people who were studied to determine that long-term weekly ivermectin was safe.
Now it looks like antihistamines MAY block spike proteins from binding to cells. One of the drugs that looks promising is Benadryl, though the dosing looks problematic:

Three common antihistamine medications have been found in preliminary tests to inhibit infection of cells by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, University…m.ufhealth.org
The most effective antihistamine they tested was azelastine nasal spray. It appeared effective at lower than the usual prescribed dose. Others that might be effective appeared to require problematic doses.
I believe there have only been in vitro studies so far, but it's known that people over age 61 who use certain antihistamines have lower positive Covid-19 test rates.
