Would you care to share your protocol?
Sure, my coronavirus protection protocol is detailed in this post on the Phoenix Rising forum. It is a reasonably evidenced-based protocol.
My anti-coronavirus protocol uses two supplements, allicin and echinacea, which have each been proven in human studies to reduce the chances of catching a cold when exposed to a cold virus by a factor of about two. So taking both together, you should theoretically reduce the chances of by a factor of 4.
Remember that coronavirus is one of the common cold viruses (along with rhinovirus, adenovirus, and a few others). So if these two supplements can reduce the chances of catching a cold when exposed to a cold virus, it's likely they will also do the same for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
Note that allicin and echinacea have only been shown to reduce the chances of catching a cold, but have not been shown effective at treating or shortening the duration or severity of a cold. This means that if a cold virus lands on your nasal or oral mucous membranes, these two supplements will help kill that virus at the outset, before it gets a chance to establish a roaring infection in your body.
But once an infection is established in your body, these supplement will likely no longer help. Thus they are likely preventative of COVID infection, but will probably not help much once you are in the midst of a COVID infection.
I have used echinacea for decades to prevent colds. I have found that when you get the very first symptoms of a cold, a slightly tired feeling, or the odd sneeze, but the cold has not yet established itself in your body, then if you whack it with a good dose of echinacea, nine times out of ten that cold will never manifest. This is from decades of personal experience using echinacea to prevent colds.
But once your cold has started manifesting its full symptoms, then it is too late, as echinacea will not do anything to help. Again, I learnt this from experience.
