COVID-19
Information ~ pH Level
|
|
This is to inform us all that the pH for corona virus varies from 5.5 to 8.5.
RESEARCH: JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY, APRIL 1991, PAGE 1916
All we need to do, to beat corona virus, we need to take more of an alkaline foods that are above the above
pH level of the Virus.
Some of which are:
Lemon - 9.9pH
Lime - 8.2pH
Avocado - 15.6pH
Garlic - 13.2pH
Mango - 8.7pH
Tangerine - 8.5pH
Pineapple - 12.7pH
Dandelion - 22.7pH
Orange - 9.2pH
How do you know you have coronavirus?
1. Itching in the throat,
2. Dry throat,
3. Dry cough.
So where you notice these three things quickly take warm water and drink.
Your Good Health Is My Priority
Do not keep this information to yourself only. Pass it to all your family and friends. God bless you.

Finally, some sensible advice. From a GP Nurse in the UK.
To Avoid Covid-19
What I have seen a lot of are recommendations for how to try to avoid getting coronavirus in the first place ,
• good hand washing
• personal hygiene
• social distancing
-- but what I have NOT seen a lot of is advice for what happens if you actually get it, which many of us will.
So as your friendly neighborhood Nurse let me make some suggestions:
If you get Covid-19
You basically just want to prepare as though you know you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like
bronchitis or pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it might come your way!
Things you should actually buy ahead of time (not sure what the obsession with toilet paper is?):
• Kleenex,
• Paracetamol,
• whatever your generic, mucus thinning cough medicine of choice is (check the label and make sure you're
not doubling up on Paracetamol)
• Honey and lemon can work just as well!
• Vicks vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion.
• a humidifier would be a good thing to buy and use in your room when you go to bed overnight. (You can
also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam).
• If you have a history of asthma and you have a prescription inhaler, make sure the one you have isn’t
expired and refill it/get a new one if necessary.
• Meals This is also a good time to meal prep: make a big batch of your favorite soup to freeze and have on
hand.
• Hydrate (drink!) hydrate, hydrate! Stock up on whatever your favorite clear fluids are to drink - though
tap water is fine you may appreciate some variety!
• For symptom management and a fever over 38°c, take Paracetamol rather than Ibuprofen.
• Rest lots. You should not be leaving your house! Even if you are feeling better you may will still be
infectious for fourteen days and older people and those with existing health conditions should be avoided!
• Wear gloves and a mask to avoid contaminating others in your house
• Isolate in your bedroom if not living alone, ask friends and family to leave supplies outside to avoid
contact.
• Sanitize your bed linen and clothes frequently by washing and clean your bathroom with recommended
sanitizers.
You DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL unless you are having trouble breathing or your fever is very
high (over 39°C) and unmanaged with meds.
90% of healthy adult cases thus far have been managed at home with basic rest/hydration/over-the-
counter meds.
If you are worried or in distress or feel your symptoms are getting worse
Preexisting risks If you have a pre-existing lung condition (COPD, emphysema, lung cancer) or are on
immunosuppressants, now is a great time to talk to your Doctor or specialist about what they would like
you to do if you get sick.
Children- One major relief to you parents is that kids do VERY well with coronavirus— they usually bounce
back in a few days (but they will still be infectious), Just use pediatric dosing .
Be calm and prepare rationally and everything will be fine.
[4/1, 10:04 PM] Karen Allen: This is to inform us all that the pH for corona virus varies from 5.5 to 8.5.
All we need to do, to beat corona virus, we need to take more of an alkaline foods that are above the above
pH level of the Virus.

Tangerine - 8.5pH
Pineapple - 12.7pH
Dandelion - 22.7pH
Orange - 9.2pH
How do you know you have coronavirus?
1. Itching in the throat,
2. Dry throat,
3. Dry cough.
4. High temperature
5. Shortness of breath
So where you notice these things quickly take warm water with lemon and drink.
Do not keep this information to yourself only. Pass it to all your family and friends. God bless you.

I did not experience:
Diarrhea
Loss of appetite
Loss of taste
Persistent fever
Dry cough
While in Quarantine:
If you’re living in a house with others who are asymptomatic or unaffected, be sure to close your A/C floor
and wall registers if at all possible and open a window to get some fresh air.
Without further adieu (what worked for me; statements are not evaluated by a medical professional):
Equipment:
-Humidifier (Geniani or Tosot- I have both)
-Navage nasal irrigation (able to get with FSA/HSA dollars. This is CLUTCH and ships fast)
-Aromatherapy diffuser with either Thieves (Young Living)/Robbers (Artizen)/Germ Fighter (Plant
Therapy) oils. They are different brands that combine the following essential oils: cinnamon, clove,
eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary. (All therapeutic grade)
-Tea kettle
-Garment steamer (I had one I was using to steam all my mail, packages, and pocket contents since the
beginning of the State of Emergency. I used it to inhale steam to clear my nasal passages and chest. It also
did wonders for my skin and complexion on the low, lol)
Medicine:
Tylenol
Zicam
Cold-Eeze (Zinc lozenges)
Vick’s Vapo-stick
Vick’s Vapo-steam (for shower)
Bioron Oscillococcinum (homeopathic flu relief)
Herbs:
Moducare Plant Sterols (immune booster)
Sea Moss Capsules (helps to have island friends)
Black seed oil (ibid)
Topical CBD for chest, throat, and back
Throat spray my mom made for me which combined Thieves essential oils (therapeutic grade only—
safe for ingestion) with coconut or avocado oil, agave nectar, squeeze of lemon and water. Put in spray
bottle and spray throat if even so much as a tickle emerges!
Hemp capsules with turmeric + bioprene (to ease inflammation and promote relaxation)
Essential enzymes (digestion)
Vitamins:
Alive Max3 multi vitamin
Vitamin D
Ester-C
Goli Apple Cider Gummies
Exercise (The virus wants you to lay down: fight this! Be as active as possible)
Stationary Bike
Free weights
Practices:
Prayer (without ceasing)
Meditation
Pranayama breathing: 4-7-8 (in seconds: inhale, held breath, exhale)
Box Breathing: 5-5-5-5 (in seconds: inhale-held breath- exhale-held breath with empty lungs)
Affirmations (words create worlds)
Catharsis- crying, talking with friends, family, and loved ones
Practicing gratitude and paying it forward
Accepting help (key!!!)
Saying thank you
Creating more space for grace
Journaling
Gospel music mix (first giving honor to God)
Secular music mix (‘Cause you gonna whoop COVID’s ass)
Diet:
Omnivorous but made space for immune boosting things like orange peel, garlic and black seed oil “tea”
Lemon twist Manuka Honey
Detox tea
Zip fizz healthy Energy
Greens drink powder
A gallon of water a day (to flush out system)
Sidenote: When I listed all the things I had and did while in quarantine the doctor told me I get an A+ for
prep. She said I was perhaps the most prepared person she had spoken to (many items I had before, but I
ordered a lot during the ordeal). I was advised to do everything I can to avoid going to the hospital.
If the interest is there, I’m happy to go LIvE and answer questions from recovery to managing anxiety and
stress. I also plan on figuring out a way to offer coaching for those who need it once I’m back at 100%. I’m
down to do whatever I can to help.
God bless all the first responders, doctors, healthcare workers, sanitation and government workers who are
deemed essential and emergency but most certainly didn’t sign up to face an enemy like this. But face it they
do, everyday.
God bless those who are hurting and who have lost loved ones to this virus. Please be sure to reach out to
people with empathy and grace during these Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) times.
Stay safe, sane and healthy everyone. We need you.
P.S. Oh and when I was done beating COVID-19, he ran off crying talmbout “Man, my grandmama gave me
that [str]ain!!!!”
Sources would reveal that he would, actually, cry in the car.
God is so Good!!! ������������������������

RE: COVID-19 Prep Shopping List:
Hello Everyone,
At the nudge of a good friend, I have created a “public Ideas list” on Amazon of the products I used to get
through COVID-19. I realize that folks have different presenting symptoms and severity, and different
underlying issues, etc., but I wanted to share what worked for me. I am not a doctor and make no
guarantees that this regiment will work for everyone, but I hope something on this list helps people.
A couple points of note:
The free weights and stationary bike I used are not on this list. Also, a couple of items were substituted for
items of comparable quality and scale.
Further, I used a garment steamer to both inhale steam as well as to disinfect all items we brought in the
house including mail, (Amazon) packages, groceries, and the like (less chemical exposure over time). That
being said, there is a Crane humidifier/steam inhaler combo on this list that lets you do both if you would
like to opt for that (it’s also covered by HSA/FSA dollars along with the Navage Nasal Irrigator)
I also added some reading materials whose wisdom I turned (and in some cases returned) to which fed my
mind, body and spirit while providing me with context and respite for what I was experiencing. Being faced
with an opponent like COVID-19 really puts into perspective whether the knowledge you obtained is just
something you know and can quote or if it’s something you truly believe and practice. I’m grateful that—at
least in my case—it was the latter.
P.S. Outside of everything on this list probably the best remedy you could have at your disposal is the
support and connection of your village. I had folks who dropped off groceries, called to pray with and for
me, let me cry, sent me music and words of affirmation (my primary love language) etc.
Nights are the hardest—especially when you are alone and suffering and cannot feel the touch of a loved
one. Avail yourself to your loved ones at ANYTIME and really convince them it’s okay. A phone call at 2:57
AM is welcome. Let them know they don’t even have to talk (it may very well hurt to do so), but letting them
hear your voice as you sing, or tell jokes, or read a passage, or just encouraging them goes a LONG way. We’
re in this thing together.
May this experience help make us more empathetic and, by extension, more human.
Stay safe, sane, and healthy. And, if at all possible, stay home.

Epidemic and Pandemic Eradication Plan
|
| |
Since Epidemic and Pandemic are like wildfires, in such manner as, can start anywhere at anytime and can be highly
unpredictable based on a number of conditions, such as location, environment, etc., These characteristics make it
critical that the best plan is prevention followed by a strong mitigation and containment plans to minimize spread and
eventual eradication.
|
| |
SECTION 1 - Epidemic and Pandemic SUPPRESSION PRINCIPLES
Strategy is an overall plan of action for fighting an epidemic/pandemic which gives regard to the most cost efficient
use of personnel and equipment in consideration of resource values threatened (e.g., Protective Personal Equiment
(e.g., masks, gloves, etc.), Ventilators, etc.), pathogen behavior (e.g.,infectiousness, virility, lethality, etc.), legal
constraints (e.g., vaccines, etc.), and objectives (e.g., preventions, containment, mitigations, etc.) established for
resource management.
Tactics are the operational aspects of epidemic/pandemic suppression. Determining exactly where and how to build a
containment line and what other suppression measures are necessary to eradicate an epidemic/pandemic. Tactics
must be consistent with the strategy established for eradicating an epidemic/pandemic.
The purpose of this section on epidemic/pandemic suppression principles is to acquaint all front-line resources (e.g.,
health care workers, delivery services, etc.) with the factors to analyse an epidemic/pandemic and apply the strategy
and tactics that will enable an appropriate suppression response to be completed in a safe, efficient manner, and
facilitate rehabilitation of the suppression impacts.
Most epidemics/pandemics are suppressed by initial attack (first to arrive) (i.e., first responder) forces. Some
epidemics/pandemics become large for various reasons. Epidemic/pandemic suppression principles apply to initial
attack as well as to large regions or fragments of large regions.

Epidemic/Pandemic Behavior:
• Rate of spread on various portions of the epidemic/pandemic.
• Speed of infectious spread and con-tractability on various mutations of the pathogen.
• Type of spread (smoldering, creeping, running, torching, spotting).
• Classification of spread (e.g. Surface, airborne, etc.).
• Indicators of extreme pathogen behavior (a rapid buildup of intensity, a high sustained rate of spread,
infectiousness, com-mutability, mode of spread (e.g. Airborne, etc.), distance for spreading [10 feet or more], hot
spots, clusters, etc.)
• Size of fire.
• Location of fire in relation to topographic features (chutes, canyon
bottoms, ridge tops, mid-slope).
