Below are the doses Dr. Horowitz, a Lyme-literate doctor, shared for COVID prevention and active infection, as reported by journalist Mary Beth Pfeiffer. His article states that no clinical trials had been done, that the evidence is speculative, and that the optimal doses aren't known. He advised patients to bring his articles to their own doctor before starting anything.


Prevention:


  1. Glutathione (liposomal is best): 250 to 500 mg twice a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/glutathione

  2. N-acetylcysteine (NAC): 600 mg twice a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/__nac

  3. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA): 600 mg once to twice a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/ala-alpha-lipoic-acid

  4. Zinc: 40 to 50 mg a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/_zinc

  5. Curcumin: 1000 mg twice a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/turmeric-curcumin

  7. 3, 6 Beta glucan: 500 to 1000 mg once a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/beta-glucans


Active infection, higher doses of:


  1. Glutathione: 2000 mg, 2 to 3 times a day


  1. NAC: 1200 mg twice a day


  1. Vitamin C: 2000 mg three times a day. More: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/vitamin-c


Other options his article mentions: quercetin and vitamin C.


Cautions from the article: alpha lipoic acid can cause low blood sugar in some people. If that applies to you, he says not to exceed 300 mg twice a day. High-dose glutathione can cause a slight rash or wheezing.

My experience: When I had COVID, my Lyme-literate naturopathic doctor guided me on tips that really helped me. I took quercetin, black cumin seed oil, zinc, olive leaf, vitamin A (a short course), and several antiviral formulas (Viracon, Vira shield, Viracid, Virathera). I also took NAC and glutathione in higher doses and upped my vitamin C. I added a greens drink too: https://www.riseabovelyme.com/post/greens-first-1
