How not to enter into the Club of "Covid 19 Dead"

FRIENDS Good Morning, I AM Vijay Thakur. I AM NO CORONA EXPERT. I am a journalist with nearly 30 years of experience during which I covered issues related to Health, Agriculture, Energy, and Internal Security. I have received several national and international fellowships

I am writing this after seeing PANIC in public from COVID-19, particularly in my housing society (THE PARAMOUNT GOLF FORESTEE SOCIETY I AM LIVING). My following observations are based on my interaction with several doctors of international repute involved in the treatment of Covid-19 pandemic.

I am not going into technical/medical details of Covid-19, but trying to explain in the simplest way what the disease is, its prevention and cure to save ourselves and our dear ones from the present pandemic. And also to tell people that there is no need to PANIC.

Treat Covid-19 as a REALITY

1)   

Accept the fact that CORONA is a reality and would attack most of us in the coming months.. may be in a month or two or a year…our CHANCES OF GETTING COVID-19 is GREATER  than your imaginations. IT IS GOING TO STAY HERE WITH US for a long and we must learn to live with it.

2)     So Do not panic and accept it like we have accepted other diseases on this earth and learn to live with it.

 )     GOOD NEWS is that it is not highly killing and only 0.3 % (3 out of 1000) normal Covid-19 patients die of it (if no medicine is developed in near future).

4)     BAD NEWS is it is highly infectious (in fact the most infectious virus known to humankind so far). Since we know of it for just past six-seven months, we have little information about the virus.

HOW DO WE GET COVID-19

1)     To know your enemy you must know how it works.

2)     It enters into our body through NOSE, MOUTH (and in some rare cases through eyes), stays in our nasal path, throat and windpipe areas, stay there for nearly four to six hours before it enters our lungs. If it enters into our stomach it would die automatically.

3)     It may enter into our blood if there is any injury in our body (chances are very rare) or if there is any injury in the nasal, throat, mouth or windpipe area (here Chances are very high).

4)    

MUST REMEMBER If it enters our blood, there is hardly any treatment except praying, increasing your immunity, and keeping yourself happy as much as you can. Once it is in your blood it will flow into your body and can attack any of your vital organs.

5)     MUST REMEMBER: if it is in your blood, Chances of survival (by Europe experience) ARE just 5 out of 100… which means 95 % people who have Corona in their Blood might die of it. in this case I suggest you write your WILL and try to complete your all uncompleted tasks (I AM NOT JOKING)...

6)     Survival (in case it is in your blood) only depends upon your age, immunity, your life style, your state of mind, and lastly your will power.

HOW TO PREVENT ITS SPREAD

1)     Preventing its spread is no rocket science. Understand your enemy and fight it out.

2)     We know it will enter through mouth and nose, and eyes….SO TRY NOT TO TOUCH IT UNNECESSARILY.

3)     If you have any internal injury/infection treat it on top priority…. Because otherwise it may directly enter into your blood.

4)     You know you only touch your mouth, nose and eyes through your hands. SO WASH YOUR HANDS, NOSE AND MOUTH EVERY TWO HOURS (IF YOU ARE OUT OF HOME), AND EVERY SIX HOURS (IF YOU ARE AT HOME).

5)     5)  Try not to invite anybody home or go out to meet somebody until it is important.

6)     6)   Do not stay for more than 30 minutes at any place like shopping….ects. and avoid going to places which are centrally airconditioned.

7)     7)    Use MASK only when it is necessary otherwise it may have an adverse effect. You do not need to put a mask when you are at home… or when you are driving alone.

8)     8)   Avoid Air conditioner at home…and if you are using it, its temperature should not be less than 28 degree Celsius.

 PREVENTIVE MEDICINES:

 1) There is no medicine for Covid-19 as of today June 29. There are some preventive allopathic medicines (I AM NOT MENTIONING IT BECAUSE ONLY DOCTORS SHOULD ADVISE IT). However, there are few things which can help improve your immunity and prevent you from all kind of bacterial/ viral infections including Covid-19. (BUT DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING IN EXCESS… IT WOULD PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON YOUR VITAL ORGANS MAINLY KIDNEY)

1)     2)    Take lots of water (approx four litre a day).

      3)   Take hot water (Tea with milk would not help as much) every four hours…. If possible do gargils

every six hours. ALWAYS BRUSH YOUR TEETH AFTER EVERY MEAL. (YOU WILL BE SURPRISED  BY TAKING THESE SMALL STEPS YOU ARE PREVENTING YOURSELF FROM MAJOR BACTERIAL/ VIRAL INFECTIONS)….

      4)     If you taking hot waters doing gargils or doing कुल्ला after every meal, you will be SURPRISED YOUR throat, mouth or windpipe becomes clear of MOST OF THE VIRUS/BACTERIA (and prevents its exponential multiplication in these areas before it enters your lungs. THIS PREVENTION IS REALLY  a MIRACLE... I have tested it on myself for over two decades to prevent seasonal diseases which are stronger than Covid-19.

 5)    Take 100 to 150 mg Vitamine C every day through your meal or medicine. Best is if you take fresh green chillis or lemonade (with little sugar)

 6)   Take Vitamin B complex twice a week (not more than that) and Vitamin A, and D and zink supplement only once a week. (All this is to supplement since most of these things are already there in INDIAN HOME COOKED MEAL).

 7) I may not agree with BABA RAMDEV on many grounds OR HIS CORONA CLAIMS. But it is also a fact that Giloy also known as Amrita or Guduchi in Hindi, and Ashwagandha, are really doing wonders at the initial stage of Covid-19 patients. It improves your immunity, lower stress level, controls your blood sugar level, Blood pressure, and several other disorders in your body. One must take Giloy and Ashwagandha, in a limited dose to boost up your immunity and to treat many disorders in your body and get your body ready to fight Covid-19. It is available in tablet/capsule/powder form in the market. But I am told PITANJALI IS THE BEST (I AM NOT ADVOCATING IT YOU MAY TAKE ANY BRAND YOU TRUST….YOUR TRUST ON THE MEDICINE IS VERY IMPORTANT… IT HELPS YOU IMPROVE VERY FAST).

 8)   POTION TO PREVENT SEASONAL BACTERIAL/VIRAL INFECTIONS INCLUDING COVID 19 (HAVE IT ONCE A DAY):

Take one leaf of TULSI (or just a drop of TULSI ARK easily available in the market), lemon leaf (if possible), one leaf of Giloy and Ashwagandha(or otherwise one-fourth of a Giloy and Ashwagandha tablet or a pinch of Giloy and Ashwangandha powder), a pinch of tea, one leaf of dalchini, pinch of kali Mirch powder), a pinch of kala namak one spoon of sugar (maybe one and a half or two spoons), boil it and keep it for five minutes…… BEFORE SERVING ADD JUICE OF HALF LEMON…. AND SERVE IT FOR FOUR PEOPLE….once a day… You do not need to add all the ingredients use as much as available…. PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN USING IT TO CURE MYSELF FROM VARIOUS VIRAL/BACTERIAL INFECTIONS FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES AND IT HAS WORKED EVEN ON SERIOUS INFECTIONS. I GOT CURED MOST OF THE TIMES WITHIN FOUR TO SEVEN DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE DEGREE OF INFECTIONS…. AND TRUST ME I NEVER APPROACHED DOCTOR UNTILL IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET COVID-19

1)   First think that you are very lucky as it was diagnosed in time. Unfortunately, in 60 -70 % cases people do not get to know of it and keep spreading it to their near and dear ones.

2)     2)   ISOLATE yourself and listen to very light music of your choice (it would relax your brain from tensions) and all your organs would fight against CORONA. FORGET ALL THE WORRIES OF THE WORLD AND ONLY THINK POSITIVE TO CURE YOURSELF. ALWAYS REMEMBER A PERSON WITH TENSION FREE MIND RECOVERS 50 % FASTER THAN A PERSON WITH TENSION UNNECESSARY WORLDLY TENSIONS.

3)     3)   BESIDES FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF COVID-19 EXPERT DOCTORS, You must be in regular touch with your family physician or a doctor you trust. Apprise him of every development and REMEMBER YOUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN KNOW YOU FOR AGES, HE KNOWS ABOUT YOUR BODY MORE THAN YOU AND WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT GIVEN BY A COVID-19 DOCTOR.

1)     4) STRICTLY FOLLOW THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES AS MENTIONED. AND FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY YOUR COVID-19 DOCTOR and family physician...

5) KEEP HYGIENE DO NOT ENTERTAIN ANYONE EVEN YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. DO NOT SHARE ANYTHING with your family members WHICH MAY CREATE PANIC AMONG YOUR DEAR ONES. 

3)     6) NO ONE GUARANTEE THAT all these things would save you from COVID-19, but it is also a fact that your chances of entering into THE CLLUB of “COVID-19 DEAD”  would reduce substantially.

Ends.
