Update/BLIS k12 🧵
My experience with BLIS k12 has been extremely positive & I feel important to share. My families symptoms (sore throat, cough etc - see original 🧵) resolved/mostly resolved within 24hrs & turned a corner within 48hrs. Now all 90-95% better. I have remained asymptomatic. All continue to test -ve. It was impressive to see the quick turn around of symptoms. We have been taking BLIS k12 4x day (packet says can take up to 4/day), the Italian study used two lozenges at night:

International travel 🧵:
I recently traveled from San Francisco ➡️Edinburgh, Scotland for a family Wedding. I’ve been home 5 1/2 days, three negative Lucira tests on days 2, 4, 5.
The week before I left/throughout the trip/since I got home I took a daily baby aspirin. In an effort to be as safe as possible, I’m v fortunate that my Dr prescribed me Novavax as a primary series that I completed a month before I left. I also was able to get Paxlovid/Metformin prescribed to take w me (antivirals in UK are almost impossible to get).
