Update on nattokinase (NK)-serrapeptase (SP)! Content warning, there is gross body stuff in this thread. #LongCovid
I've been on NK for 2 months. I was on NK-SP for 1 month, increasing by 1 pill/week to 8000 FU on Dr's Best brand, & switched to NK-only at the 2 month mark.
NATTOKINASE Survey Data💊 Interesting results! Efficacy appears to ⬆️ w total daily dose (TDD). While 2000-4000 FU TDD looks similar, efficacy appears to improve around ≥6000 FU TDD w/ most taking ≥4000 FU twice daily. Note no one reported feeling worse at ≥9000 FU TDD.🧵
N95? KN95? KF94? The best is whichever fits you. I have high cheekbones & most N95s leak at my upper face. All Kf94s & most KN95s fit me perfectly, though, & I tie knots in ear loops to tighten just right. @masknerd has a great video: Fit, Fit, Fit!!!
Thread 10 days post-wedding, we’ve had zero new COVID cases among all the attendees (approx. 150 people.) Was it the masking? Was it the Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? Was it a 99.9% vaccinated and boosted attendee list? It was all of the above. We prioritized safety AND had a great time. Fin.
Close the toilet lids, folks. "The simulations show that nearly 60% of the ejected particles rise high above the seat for a toilet with two inlet ports. A solution to this deadly problem is to simply close the lid before flushing, since this should decrease aerosol spread"
I know it feels impossible to avoid COVID these days, but I just traveled for 4 weeks, took 10 flights, gave 4 in-person presentations, and attended 3 conferences without catching COVID... and you can too.
Yes, COVID is highly transmissible, but it's not magic. A brief 🧵.
