Your Poor Man’s Coronavirus Defense

Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXII

UPDATE January 29, 2021: It’s freezing up here in the northeast. The real feel in NH is -19 today and going lower tonight. You gotta keep your immune system strong. I load up on liposomal Vitamin C, especially when it feels like I’m living on the dark side of the moon.

Do you have a vitamin routine? There’s a bottle of Dr. Joseph Mercola’s liposomal C sitting on my desk. A doctor client of mine swears by his C, not quite Linus Pauling levels, but a significant dosage nonetheless.

Dr. Mercola writes about zinc as a “Poor Man’s Coronavirus Defense,” and refers to the yeoman’s work of investigative reporter Bill Sardi. (Mercola had me hooked at Poor Man’s).

In closing, Sardi proposes imitating Zelenko’s COVID-19 protocol using natural remedies if you have symptoms of  SARS-CoV-2 infection and cannot obtain a prescription for chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine and a Z-Pak:

  • A natural antibiotic such as cinnamon extract or oil of oregano
  • Quercetin as a zinc ionophore (to enhance zinc entrance into cells)
  • Zinc, up to 30 milligrams per day
  • Vitamin B3(niacin), 25 to 50 mg per day, and selenium to further boost bioavailability of zinc

How are you holding up? Feels like we have a ways to go, doesn’t it? What’s great about being a patient, methodical investor is you get a bird’s eye view of it all.

One of the biggest hurdles for investors is giving up on an investment. Investors have sunk cost issues: They don’t sell because doing so is admitting they’re wrong. They’re too emotionally attached.

Remember, there’s nothing wrong with changing course. Will vitamin C or zinc save your life? I don’t know. I’m not a doctor; I’m your survival guy.

But sometimes changing course is just what the doctor ordered. Just ask Jerry Seinfeld. He looks pretty content to me, just driving in cars getting coffee.

Harris’s Record of Radicalism

Your Survival Guy in Paris: “Time Stand Still”

One of the more misunderstood components of compound interest is time. Everyone understands the rate of return.

Then it […]
