This is a follow up for a sub I posted a few days ago when I suddenly came down with a 100.8 fever and a weird headache.

Two days later, my temp is 99.0 and the headache is gone. My nose is a little clogged and runny.

I have seen no doctor, taken no tests of any kind. I've just been sunbathing for about 30-45 minutes, slamming down pure orange juice and homemade chicken soup, taking zinc and vitamin C and D supplements. Also a low dose of benzo for good, deep, unbroken 10 hours of sleep. Had to change my bedsheets after that first night, woke up soaked in sweat (at least I hope that's what it was!).

I honestly was kind of shaken up. I know covid is bullshit. I question its existence, but even if it exists, I'd survive it just fine. This just shows how powerful being told the same lie over and over for 2 years can be- it can make me question what I know, make me feel like I'm in far more danger than I truly am.

I wanted to thank you users who commented on my original sub. You gave me a morale boost, hardened my resolve, helped me to stop questioning myself. My immune system is doing what it's evolved to do. Getting upset and worrying about covid bullshit does not help.

Good job in getting better, but next time avoid the orange juice. That much sugar is never good for any infection (or cancer, or life in general). There are other sources of vitamin C with much less sugar.

That much sugar is never good for any infection

And this is because most infections literally eat those sugars that you consume, right? They use it as fuel to continue their "attack" on your body.

So if you reduce your sugar intake, you essentially starve out some of the infection? Is this correct? I remember learning something like this in biology.

Yeah basically. Simple organisms run on simple sugars (no cellular respiration or fatty acid oxidation), and the increased metabolism in virally infected cells also take advantage of high sugar levels to fuel their viral replication. Cancer cells can “go glycolytic” and basically only use glycolysis to produce energy (since they need fast energy, too fast for the TCA cycle). Cutting down sugar starves those cancer cells. Also high sugar levels suppress your immune system too, which is seen to an extreme degree in diabetes. Just avoid sugar.

But I just now had a "tall mocha Frappuccino with extra whip."

Yes, and cancer loves sugar too.
