The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I am not a doctor, but this is part of the treat protocol crafted by my doctor: I've gargled with cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash and used a 1% providone-iodine solution nasal spray multiple times a day for a viral respiratory infection and I've had good results. At the very least, I've never been harmed by it.
I also eat spoonfulls of honey multiple times a day to sooth my throat (and has other benefits).
Fortunately, I've never gotten covid that I'm aware of so I cannot comment on the results with covid specifically. As always though, starting treatments earlier is generally better. Waiting until you're tired of it is generally a bad approach.
