My oldest son had been very sick for 3 days and thought he might have strep throat. He went to urgent care and the doctor tested him for COVID. He tested positive. It was then that I immediately started him on the star anise along with fresh ginger tea (steep 1/2 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger per 1 cup of boiling water, add fresh lemon juice and honey to taste), which he drank a cup every 1 to 2 hours when he was awake, as well as vitamin C to bowel tolerance, zinc, NAC, vitamin D, kudzu tincture for an ACE 2 inhibitor, and tumeric also as an anti-inflammatory.
This changed the course of his illness. He had been getting worse each day, but this turned him around. He still lost his sense of taste, but, the head congestion that was heading to his chest stopped in its tracks. What a relief, because he has scarring in his lungs from prior radiation treatment for lymphoma.
My second son started getting COVID symptoms several days after my first son. I started him on the same protocol, and was able to add ivermectin to this protocol and he recovered within 3 days.
I took the star anise, Vit C, zinc, Vit D, and NAC as a preventative and I was able to care for both of them, without any social distancing or mask wearing. My sons did not wear masks either.
COVID is a treatable illness if you treat it early and aggressively. Many many people have died needlessly. "My people perish from lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
