Hey there, I've noticed a lot of people around me are starting to use the Ziverdo Kit, which includes zinc, ivermectin, and doxycycline, even before they get COVID. Is it a good idea to take these meds as a preventive measure? I'm a bit concerned about what the side effects might be if I take them without actually being sick. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

View allI've been taking Evion for a liver infection, just like I did two years ago for about a month, and didn't have any issues back then. But this time, after starting Evion again, I've been getting headaches for a couple of days. Once I stopped, the headaches went away. Why would Evion cause headaches now when it didn't before?

I've been told by my doctor that I have a deficiency in B12 and Vitamin D. They've recommended B12 ME12 injection shots for me. I'm a bit concerned and curious about whether it's really safe for me to go with the B12 shots, or if taking a capsule could be a better option instead. Can you help me understand the differences or what might be best for me?
B12 injections like ME-12 are effective for quickly raising levels, especially if your deficiency is significant or absorption is an issue. Capsules can also work if your body absorbs them well, but injections may be recommended for faster results. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best approach.
