For me personally, I developed long-COVID after a very slight, one day case of COVID early on, pre-vaccine. Nearly destroyed me and stole a year of my life via developing a minor heart issue, high BP, near stroke, exhaustion, etc.
I overcame that shit through natural remedies and sheer freakin’ will, and of course also I started vaxxing. I’ve been okay since.
Meanwhile my unvaccinated beloved mom is now dead from heart failure, a clot, double fistula, etc after barely symptomatic COVID back when I had it also. Keep in mind she’d had no heart issues prior and was a non-smoker, non-drinker, etc.
Do with that what you will, but this is my reasoning. There are risks in all things. For me, the risk of dying of COVID or developing extreme long-COVID again is not worth avoiding a booster for fear of rare short or long term side effects.
Again, that’s just me.
So please don’t come into my mentions with extremist propoganda, fearmongering, etc. If you don’t believe in these vaccines — ok! Do you.
I’m a firm believer in the more organic the better. And I don’t trust big pharma. But I do trust science. And the statistics don’t lie. And that’s what I’m going with. Along with a return to masking — since COVID, RSV and flu rates are on the rise and January might be pretty brutal.
Already, half my timeline has COVID. And 75% of people I know locally and nationally have or have had COVID, flu, or their kids had RSV — just over the last week or two. So if I can have an extra little layer of protection or two… I’m gonna do it. 🤷♀️
OR... I bought something so you might not have to.
Got this stuff recently off Amazon.
Sigh.
I am just not in love with it yet.
I bought it on a whim and later when I saw the price again I was like.....whaaaaaat?
ZOINKS!
But I have not been able to find a forskolin tablet so I thought what the Heck.
The tablets seems to help something as a non thermogenesic something or another but walmart doesn't carry them anymore & when I used the internet machine to order some, they cancelled my order without giving me a reason.
So..... that's my life.
But the price? Eh.
You add it to coffee. It can make it taste a little bitter. I am not sure if it is helping or not.... but it should.
When I can mask the taste.
It is like a just slightly off kilter chocolate.
It does come in a handy packet so it would be nice for on the go situations.
It was hard to get clear shots of this bad boy, spotted at the Goodguys Spring Nationals in Phoenix, AZ, March 2019. Slicks, big block, supercharger, zoomies... and of course a Moon tank.
