Hey guys, one thing I think I’ve never shared with you, (Henk expecially, you should be interested, since you’re Dutch) is that in the last few months I’ve been trying the Wim Hoff method, which is basically : meditation, brething techniques and cold exposure, for his supposedly health/immune system benefits. Cold exposure is the only thing I’ve been really practicing till now. The other two, a little less. But since the end of Novemebr, I’ve been taking cold showers everyday. Well, of course I live in a pretty warm area, so cold water here, even in winter, means 14-15 degree celsius (57-59 F.), so not really that cold, but still pretty refreshing, to say the least. At the beginning it was brutal for me, but after a little while, it became almost addicting. Sometimes I alternate hot and cold water exposure, (always finishing with cold water), and, even if I didn’t noticed all the benefits the WHM is supposed to give, I defenetly feel better afterwards, compared to how I felt after a typical warm shower.. I was even going to bath in the sea lately, and it was even better. I was taking short baths (2-3 minutes) and then I warmed up again on the beach. But now, with this pandemic, I can’t do that anymore. Anyway. there’s a lot of information about cold exposure and/or contrast therapy (hot and cold) and its benefits on immune system and longevity.
Let me know what you think about it. Have a nice day/night everyone.

Anyway, for your information, yes, fecal transplant, does carry risks, even serious ones. At least 2 patients died in the US after the prcedure. I’m just sharing a video, not trying to advise anyone to do it!

Hey Barbara. Here in Italy the situation is still very critical and it’ll be like this for a long time…anyway we’re still here…for the moment 😉
How’s the situation in Spain now? I’ve heard it’s getting nasty there too? I’ve also heard that New York and L.A. are in quarantene too, is that true? Can someone confirm this please?
Anyway, I’m reading stuff about how bad antiflammatory drugs are for treating the disease. They should make the virus more aggressive and they should make it spread faster in your body. I don’t know the veracity of this informations though. Soem say it’s just a hoax…
Canada ….provinces have been given leeway in deciding about school closures and isolating. Ontario now has closed bars, restaurants, schools,. Malls are open few hours a day. We are telling parents schools will open second week of April . Of course that’s nonsense. In three weeks we will be in the worst of it. Citizens like me over 65 have been told to stay home unless absolutely necessary.
I have gone out for food. Our PM closed air travel to Canada and has restricted border crossings to only Americans. We are dependent on USA for so much in produce and the supply chain.
I also read that anti inflammatory meds can worsen the condition. Stick to Tylenol.
Pneumonia usually accompanies the virus so it’s important to not be given the standard Cipro treatment most hospitals administer. Ask for Amoxicillan, one of the few antibiotics we can still safely take if needed. I realize we should try to avoid all antibiotics but sometimes we have to make an informed choice. Keep safe everyone.

Hi Guys,
I’ve just read through all your posts, it seems different countries are handling this in various ways. We are in complete lockdown in Spain. We ventured out yesterday after being in for 7 days we needed some items in the supermarket. The police stopped us as there were two of us in the car. I told them my husband was helping me and they were okay, but said we must be two metres apart from everyone else. We went first thing because the shelves would have been empty later. We had to stand in line outside the supermarket and wait to be called. Before going in we had our hands sanitised and were given surgical gloves. It was all very orderly. I got what I wanted but the shelves were sparce. Now we are home and wont go out again for at least two weeks, apart from my husband has to see a specialist on the 26th unless we hear anything different.
Masks don’t protect you, but they can stop you touching your face, as most people touch their face a lot of the time. Lisa said she needs a dog cone as she touches her face all the time.
I’ve read high dose Vit C is good if you get unwell. Like very high dose’s. I am waiting for some lipsomal VitC to arrive. We have also been taking zinc.
No one knows the truth of this, we all have our theories, but they are just our opinions not facts. From the very begining watching it unfold in China, I have always thought there was more to this than we are being told. But that’s just my thoughts, no evidence whatsoever.
Spain is being very very strict now, a great deal differently than the UK. But the UK is changing daily, with the Prime Minister giving daily reports with the scientists on TV.
Italy’s health system is over run. I am watching a report on the news now.
I urge you all to really take care with washing and sanitising your hands. Don’t be fooled with seeing people out and about. Stay away as much as possible.
The next two weeks here we’ll see how its panning out.
I’ll keep you informed of any changes.
Stay safe everyone. Stay calm and take the scientific advise.

Hi I have not been on here in awhile however I have tried to read through all of your posts.
Today 3/18/20 in the Midwest the malls and shops in my town are closed. My husband and I had to make a run to a local warehouse grocer and it was at about 20% capacity. I used an app to check out however people casually walked past us. I held my breath and walked fast past them.
As everywhere, toilet paper is gone, paper towels are gone. They are restocking meat and canned items. Right when this hit the USA I went and stocked up on items. TP, Towels, food etc. At first I thought I was overreacting however now I am glad I did. I also got several cans of powder Gatorade because this virus can deplete you of electrolytes. As of Saturday I ordered all my supplements on Amazon. They all arrived today along with the notice that they will not be delivering other then the necessities. I am glad I got all my vitamins.
I have a strong hunch that the US Postal service will be suspended very shortly.
Some of our younger people are downright ignorant. Not all but some. My son who is 20 dorms at a local college. The dorms announced about 13 days ago they should leave ASAP. Final day to exit has be out tomorrow. About 95% of the kids vacated 13 days ago and we told him to come home. He elected to stay until his girlfriend went home. He said if he did return home he was going to do what he wanted and can’t live by our rules. He has continued to socialize, go places etc. We made an expensive choice to place him in an apartment. Stocked him with all the goods he needs, filled up his gas tank and wished him good luck. Then he feels hurt that we did not come out as all the other parents were vacating their children. What the heck is wrong with these young people?
Not sure about all of you but I am scared crapless of getting this virus. I know you all are battling health issues. I had influenza in January that about knocked me out. With all the health issues I have going on now with my teeth, chronic pain and stress I feel corona would take me out.

Question for you all. We know Motrin is a big no for us. WHO has also stated that by taking it to treat Corona Virus symptoms can and has worsened the virus. They say to take Tylenol only for fever reduction.
Would this hold true of Curcumin? I take it for inflammation but I wonder if it would work the same way as Motrin interfering with immunity?
This is the situation here in Italy, well at least it was 2 days ago.
As today, 35.713 confiremed positive cases, 4.207+ in one day, 4.025 healed, 2.978 total deaths. Only today 475 deaths.

Hello, all. Goodness..it has been ages since I’ve been on Floxie Hope.
First a question:
Malaria drug – Chloroquine – is a quinoline. This is not related to the quinolone family, right?
Antimalarial and antiparisitic drug
This is what is being tested/used to treat new virus.
I am a younger floxie -almost 9 years post floxing. Have recovered quite well and thanking the Good Lord.
I fought off the dreaded Flu A with homeopathic remedies and (Yes) generic Tylenol. Hadn’t taken it for several years. But, the fever lasted 5 days and I felt horrible. I bit the bullet or rather took 2 generic Tylenol for 5 days in a row. (1 in AM and 1 in PM)
My immune system kicked in and fought it off in about two weeks.
Sorry! Rabbit trail.
To get back to my question: My floxed aunt is over 65 and has some health issues. Wondering if she had to take chloroquine, would she possibly have same reaction as she had with Cipro. Just a thought.

Dolphins are swimming in Venice again. The air over China is clear. These are some positives. Maybe we can keep it this way when this is all over.

There was a new article that came out regarding possible blood type and corona virus infection. According to a Chinese study (not sure if I believe it), Blood type A was more vulnerable to the virus VS type O. Again no sure how accurate this is and I am certain in the months to come this will be studied more. I just thought I would share.
Is anyone concerned that chloroquine is now a treatment for Covid 19? It is a first generation flouroquinolone? Do you think we dare take it?

Everyone……… Breathing and touching things may get you infected with the Coronavirus. Daaaa!!! An excerpt from: https://www.healthshots.com/health-news/coronavirus-can-last-on-surfaces-for-hours/ The novel coronavirus infectious particles can remain stable in air and linger on solid surfaces for spans ranging from several hours to days, suggests a new study. This study was conducted by the researchers of National Institutes of Health, CDC, UCLA and Princeton University and was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Coronavirus can last on metal surfaces as well
The scientists found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel.
Comforting information. Right?

And yet there are areas that are taking this way too lightly. I have seen several picture like this from Florida beaches. Just so selfish. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-thousands-florida-beaches-ignoring-social-distancing/
