Sorry, I don't mean 'better'...different is what I mean.

Aspirin is also a blood thinner.

I confirm that everything that's been written up to now is somewhat what we use here.
I did not know the importance of Listerine Mouthwash (original formula with essential oils), so thanks a lot for that info!
Prevention with Fermented food for Pre/Probiotics
- Kombucha and/or Lacto fermented vegetable juice, first thing in the morning before eating.
- I make overnight oatmeal in the fridge using no-dairy kefir and almond milk. The kefir brand I use has 10 strains (2 or 3 strains of bifidobacterium) for up to 2 billion probiotics per 1 cup serving.
- I add homemade Kimchi to my rice ( I buy it from a nice Korean lady)
Cooking
- Cooking with lots of onion and garlic
- Kale and spinach smoothies (kale has lot's of vit K)
- Lot's of chicken broth and vegetable soups
As for the nuke once sick
- ColoÏdal silver spray for nose and throat
- Nose and Throat wash with water, salt and Sodium Bicarbonate
- Vit D, Liposomal C, Zinc with Quercetine, Artemisia Annua tincture, Elderberry juice concentrated extract,
- Rest + lots of liquid

That's the Salicylic Acid alright. Not the best price, I purchased 500 grams for 37$ last July, but that item is no longer listed!. I cap my own using a capsule machine, and I have a scale that measures in mg, so I am taking much more that 81mg. I also take 325mg of Aspirin, a Walmart brand called Equate that claims to only contain ASA. 81 mg is OK Glenn, but unless you have stomach problems with Aspirin, I would not worry about taking larger doses, it is a pretty benign drug, unlike the tweaks made to the competing brands (Ibuprofen, tylenol, etc) in order to make more money as they are patented. That stuff is actually bad for the heart, the liver, etc. You could get eensy teensy measuring spoons also, but I am not sure which size would approx. 81mg
Your doctor probably recommended Aspirin as it has a blood thinning effect. I have been on the Warfarin blood thinner in the past, but got off as I was concerned about its effect on my liver. I wish I'd known about Aspirin/Salicylic Acid back then.
That makes sense. Some people also use grapefruit seed extract (liquid) for that purpose.
As you mentioned grapefruit in your post, Lyndi Lama, apparently grapefruit seed extract (liquid) also works when you have digestive symptoms (FWIW) apart from it being suitable for throat gargles and mouth/nasal/sinus wash.
They also use Listerine in Venezuela in hospitals when materials are lacking:
The Venezuelan doctor that co-authored the book Home Doctor: Practical Medicine for Every Household mentions Listerine again as a treatment for cleaning ulcers (graphic footage!).

I'm not sensitive to gluten, but thanks for letting me know about spinach!
Luckily enough, I've always only put a handful of the stuff in the blender, and it makes at least 3 portions, so I doubt it had any significant negative impact.
Does it make a difference if it is baby spinach? I wonder what the concentration is in baby vs mature leaf...
Not all of it, if you can believe the packaging. Some oatmeal says "gluten free" while others do not.

Yes. Oats do not contain gluten. They do have a protein called avenin, which is similar to gluten and a sensitive celiac may react to it.
The difference between oats and 'gluten-free oats' is apparently oats processed with machinery that also process gluten grains such as wheat may pick up traces of gluten, whereas 'gluten free oats' is processed with machinery that has been cleaned or is only used for oats. So, no contamination with gluten.
I don't recall being sick much since I had covid, but if I feel something coming on I'll have a cocktail of IV, HCQ, salt, electrolytes, B complex and zinc. I don't bother with vitamin C much anymore. I think exercise and getting out daily for walks and natural light helps a lot too.
Almonds are well known to be high in oxalates, too - typically near the top of any list.
One sample article list both low and high-oxalate nuts: Low Oxalate Nuts & Seeds
And another:
Foods High in Oxalates
Oxalates are naturally present in many foods, but in high amounts can contribute to kidney stones. Learn which foods are high in oxalates, and what alternatives to choose for a low-oxalate diet.

I saw a video on this a year ago, don't remember the name or author, but saved this image. Suggests to stick to Pistachios and Macadamias.

That would explain why I seem to digest oats without any problem! I can have big portions of it and feel fine. Wheat products on the other hand (bread and pasta), I have to be careful because it constipate me, and too big a portion will make me feel sleepy/slow digestion.
Thanks for the info!
Holy molly! That's a scary chart! Another thing I didn't know.
My aunt once told me we need to soak almonds overnight in order to be able to eat them, otherwise they are toxic. Is that related to the oxalate or something else? I'm going to ask chat GPT...
Here is the answer:
Soaking almonds overnight can potentially reduce their oxalate content, as well as other antinutrients like phytic acid. However, the extent of this reduction may vary, and it's not guaranteed to eliminate all oxalates. While soaking can make almonds more digestible and improve nutrient absorption, it's essential to remember that they will still contain some level of oxalates even after soaking. Therefore, individuals who need to limit oxalate intake should continue to consume almonds in moderation, even if they have been soaked overnight.
I think it was for phytic acid if my memory is good.
Guys, I'm a cereal addict for breakfast and I can't have dairy anymore :( Soy milk is questionable, almond milk is toxic, and anyways they add Calcium Carbonate in those drinks which is contaminated with Lead.
What's left as a milk alternative? Homemade Oat milk?
Since everything is contaminated anyway, I might as well have my cereals with water
What do you have for breakfast? Maybe I could change my cereal habit.
Sorry this discussion is diverging from the original topic, but thanks for all this info :)
There is oat milk, hemp milk, and rice milk. You'd have to look at various brands to see what else is in them, or make your own, I guess.
I use coconut milk. or coconut cream blended with a little water. very similar to dairy(cow/goat/sheep) milkGuys, I'm a cereal addict for breakfast and I can't have dairy anymore :( Soy milk is questionable, almond milk is toxic, and anyways they add Calcium Carbonate in those drinks which is contaminated with Lead.

Breakfast for me would be eggs, maybe 2, however you like them, and a nice bit of beef skirt. Never cereals! Terrible stuff, imo, slurry! Oats are great, the Scots will tell you that!That would explain why I seem to digest oats without any problem! I can have big portions of it and feel fine.
