Coronavirus, or COVID-19, is on people’s minds, and I am repeatedly asked for my perspective on what to do to prevent it. It is my hope that the following will educate you and alleviate any concerns or fears you may have. Here is a balanced perspective with actionable information to follow.
Note: At the bottom of this article I have compiled a Coronavirus reference and resource center for those of you who want to conduct a deeper dive on any of the topics. This includes prevention ideas, travel tips, important novel devices, little known but powerful non-toxic integrative options, nutritional keys, lifestyle tips and recovery suggestions. I will keep adding new resource links so check back daily. You will be able to track the links by the dates added.
One of the ways you can use this information to get prepared is to purchase nutrients, devices, and find out which integrative doctors or alternative practitioners provide the referenced nutrients and services. I suggest you find and become a wellness patient of a licensed integrative or alternative doctor (including Naturopathic, Homeopathic, Natural Medicine, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, etc.) in your area before you ever need to call on them.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019. It was discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan City, in the Hubei Province of China. Most infections have occurred in China or are related to travel from Hubei Province. There have been a few cases reported in the United States. The outbreak is being closely monitored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), which has declared it a global pandemic. President Donald Trump has declared it a public health emergency.
How COVID-19 is Contracted
Coronavirus is spread and contracted in the same way as a cold or the flu. Symptoms of Coronavirus are also similar to flu: fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, and headache. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says patients with COVID-19 have experienced mild to severe respiratory illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.
The term “community spread” is being used for cases where the person who contracted it did not travel to heavily infected areas such as China, Italy or Iran, or did not knowingly come in contact with someone who has been to one of those countries. Because the virus does not spontaneously appear, it has to be transmitted from one person to another. That means they did come in contact with someone who had it. Chances are, they probably didn’t even know they had it. That’s because some who have had the virus and recovered say it is no worse than the common cold.
Healthy People Rarely Get Sick and Recover Quickly
Most healthy people recover from exposure to a pathogen. The frail and health-compromised are usually the most vulnerable including the very old, and those with poor underlying health conditions, especially respiratory problems. That’s because the lungs are most likely to be affected by COVID-19. Those with diabetes or heart disease are also known to be at greater risk from COVID-19 due to the burden such conditions place on the body.
How to Avoid Coronavirus
As with other illnesses such as the cold or flu, the CDC says to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases like COVID-19 you should avoid close contact with people who are sick; cover coughs and sneezes; avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth; and wash your hands with soap and water.
The reason personal hygiene is important is the fact the virus cannot spread unless it has access to your mucus membranes through your eyes, ears, or nose. Casual contact with skin or clothing is not enough to cause infection.
Making sure you take care of your body is critical when it comes to preventing this disease and other temporary and chronic conditions. If you have underlying health issues you should probably avoid crowds where it’s possible someone may be ill and certainly avoid those you know who are infected.
Foods that Depress Immunity
It is absolutely essential you minimize or avoid sugar and large quantities of refined carbohydrates because they have the ability to severely depress your body’s immune response for extended periods of time.
Your body relies on neutrophils which are a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) to eat up bacteria and other foreign invaders in the blood stream. The leukocytic index refers to how many organisms a leukocyte can eat in an hour. An index of 13 is thought to be healthy immunity.
Consumption of sugars and high glycemic carbs including white bread, pasta, pizza, rice, grains, sweet drinks (including juices) and yes, large amounts of most fruits (which themselves convert to sugar rapidly) has shown to cut the leukocytic index by as much as 90 percent almost immediately and it stays suppressed by at least 50 percent for several hours afterward.
Alcohol depresses the immune system and should be minimized. Fried foods also tax the body and lessen your body’s ability to defend itself as well.
A window of weakened immunity could be just the opening that leaves you vulnerable enough to contract COVID-19 or the flu. We often have such viruses already in our system but our immunity keeps them in check.
Ways to Boost Immunity
A strong immune system can help prevent sickness from exposure to cold, flu and pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungus, and parasites) and can help you recover if you happen get sick.
The best way to support your immune system is through what you eat. Your body uses the food you eat to give it energy and support its natural defenses. That is why it is so important you are getting all of the essential nutrients your body needs on a daily basis. And that’s why are so fanatical about making sure Living Fuel Super Meals are the most nutritionally complete meal available anywhere.
Fermented foods and probiotics are great for a healthy gut microbiome, which is an essential element of a healthy immune system.
Another way to boost your immune system is through intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating. Your body is stronger in a fasted state. Set windows for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Avoid snacks in between meals so your body is not constantly processing food as if you were eating all day. Delay your morning meal as long as you are comfortable and set a hard stop in the evening after which you do not consume any food or drink, preferably at least three hours before you go to sleep and no later than 8 p.m.
Using a bio-active silver hydrosol form of colloidal silver such as Sovereign Silver is a great way to boost immunity. You can find it online or in your local drugstore. It comes in a personal nasal spray or in a throat spray bottle. You can also spray it on your face with your eyes open and let it dry. This is a great thing to have if you are traveling, especially by air.
There is a great resource link below from Robert Scott Bell about nebulizing the bioactive form of silver into the lungs which provides immediate and direct cessation of viral, bacterial and fungal activity there.
Super Health 7 Keys
These seven keys, which I have detailed extensively in my books, articles, videos and website, give your body the best chance to thrive in any situation. These are vitally important in terms of illness prevention and recovery.
1. Make sure you are properly nutrified. As I mentioned above, I know of no better way to properly nutrify your body than through Living Fuel. We combine the best quality organic superfoods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, spirulina, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries and more with the best quality vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, phytonutrients, herbs, probiotics, etc. along with clean plant protein and fiber. Beta glucan and dietary nucleotides are also essential for immune support and can be found in Living Fuel.
There are at least a dozen first-world nutrient deficiencies common to the typical American diet that can severely compromise immunity. These include vitamins A, C, D, zinc, selenium, potassium, magnesium, etc. Three of the most vital in situations of illness are vitamin A, C and vitamin D3. Track your intake and supplement where necessary. In addition to your foundational levels of vitamin A, integrative doctors suggest an additional 2,500-5,000 IU per day, and an additional 500-1,000 mg of vitamin C per day. During cold and flu season, I suggest at least an additional 400 mg 3 times per day of high-quality vitamin C, and 5,000-10,000 IU per day of high-quality vitamin D3, which your body makes from exposure to the sun. Each provides an important piece of your body’s health puzzle.
2. Stay hydrated. Water is critical for cellular health and the proper function of nearly every bodily process. Minimize tap water to limit your intake of chorine, fluoride and other harmful chemicals. Chlorine can kill the healthy gut flora essential to immunity. It's best to drink glass-bottled spring water.
3. Exercise. Research shows that exercise not only helps you avoid illness, but it can even help you recover quicker during times of illness. Make sure not to overdo it, though because overtraining can lower immunity. They key is to keep the body working each day at whatever level you are able.
4. Get plenty of sleep. This is one of the most important keys. Good sleep is necessary for not only recovery but also strengthening your body’s resolve. A tired and unrestored body is a weak body and makes one susceptible to illness.
5. Avoid unnecessary stress. Chronic stress taxes the body and can be a hidden cause of disease. Manage the 7 keys to maximize your body’s ability to deal with stress and look for ways to avoid or alleviate unnecessary stress and you will certainly feel better.
6. Watch out for environmental hazards. Everyday household chemicals, polluted air, electromagnetic frequencies, cell phone radiation, medical radiation and contaminated water all conspire to drain your body’s defenses. Instead of being on the lookout for invading viruses, your body is just trying to deal with the world around you.
7. Meditate and pray to get your mind right. That will help you avoid fear. In the Bible Job said, “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.” Let’s be people of faith not fear.
The Power of Fear
Based on what I am seeing, hearing and reading, FEAR is the primary power of COVID-19, and is much stronger than the disease itself. President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” That’s not exactly the case here because the disease is real, but it is causing undue worry across the country. And it is scientifically proven that fear and chronic stress lowers the immune system. Fear is also causing people to listen to and share incorrect information.
Don’t Listen to Bad Advice
Sadly, the talking heads on TV are creating hysteria by reporting as fact things that are not really known. It is irresponsible for the media to hype this virus and cause mass panic. Had they represented this virus as a flu-like respiratory virus with recommendations since the outset, there would not be so much fear-driven activity.
Every bit as egregious is some of the destructive advice I am hearing by well-meaning TV personalities, many of whom are advising people to wash their hands and get a flu shot. Washing hands is a good thing but the flu shot is insane under these circumstances.
The CDC will tell you the seasonal flu shot is barely effective against the flu and completely ineffective against the Coronavirus. In fact the flu shot has been shown to lower immunity the year it's given and in subsequent years.
What Does History Show?
History shows us that receiving experimental drugs and/or vaccines, unless it is a true life or death situation and safer alternatives have been exhausted, is highly risky and unwise.
Every Pandemic in the last half century including SARS, which is itself is a type of Coronavirus, had countless dollars spent on experimental drugs and vaccines, and this one is no different. A list of candidate vaccines developed against SARS-CoV that were rushed to market by the medical system that injured and killed unsuspecting people who were fearful and sought protection. Their lives were altered or ended, not as a result of a pandemic pathogen but because of the supposed prevention and treatment of the vaccine.
Don’t Suppress Your Fever
If you do get sick, fever is an important part of your immune system. Suppressing a fever has been shown to prolong the time for recovery. It is generally best to avoid using medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs to lower a fever when the fever is tolerable. Allow the fever to do its intended work of healing the body, killing pathogens and neutralizing viruses, while staying well-hydrated using fresh water and electrolyte minerals.
Stronger than the Coronavirus
The flu virus and Coronavirus can be neutralized with ozone and UV light. Ozone and UV are what hospitals use to disinfect rooms and equipment that have been exposed to people with highly contagious diseases. They are very powerful when used together. Otherwise contaminated rooms are made useable again through the application of ozone which has the power to kill all pathogens. More information about UV light and ozone, including the use of ozone therapy to treat people infected is available below.
Back to Point #1
Be prepared but don’t live your life in fear. Another quote I love is in the Bible in the book of Matthew where Jesus commands, “Do not worry [be anxious], for it won’t add an inch to your height or a day to your life.”
There are things you can do to lessen the chances getting infected and there are things you can do to increase your chances of quick recovery in the mathematically unlikely event that you do contract and become ill with the virus.
We can take steps to limit our exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses but it’s impossible to avoid them altogether unless we shun all human contact. By using common sense practices to avoid the transmission of Coronavirus and by giving our body the best chance to fight, we can enjoy the good things this life has to offer and live without panic.

People Who Recovered From COVID-19 Should Receive Only 1 Dose of Vaccine: Study
https://www.theepochtimes.com/people-who-recovered-from-covid-19-should-receive-only-1-dose-of-vaccine-study_3685032.html
[KC’s Comment: My personal belief is that no one should take an experimental nRNA gene therapy agent just because it is being labeled a vaccine. It is not. Wisdom says to wait until years of testing have been completed to make the decision. If you have had and recovered from a COVID-19 infection especially if you lost taste or smell, then you have natural immunity and should consider skipping the “experimental” vaccine. Keep in mind that CDC research suggests that 99%+ of people who contract COVID-19 survive.]

An Evidence Based Scientific Analysis of Why Masks are Ineffective, Unnecessary, and Harmful | Blog
https://www.meehanmd.com/blog/2020-10-10-an-evidence-based-scientific-analysis-of-why-masks-are-ineffective-unnecessary-and-harmful/
[KC’s Comment: This is an excellent scientific analysis. “The CoVID-19 pandemic is about viral transmission. Surgical and cloth masks have repeatedly been shown to offer no benefit in the mitigation of transmission and infection caused by viruses like influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Which is exactly why they have never been recommended for use during the seasonal flu outbreak, epidemics, or previous pandemics.
Although the public health "authorities" flipped, flopped, and later changed their recommendations, the science did not change, nor did new science appear that supported the wearing of masks in public. In fact, the most recent systemic analysis once again confirms that masks are ineffective in preventing the transmission of viruses like CoVID-19: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article"]

[KC’s Comment: We live in an age where over 1 million people per year die of tuberculosis. When is the last time you have heard anything about TB? We are not in any way diminishing the reality of all the deaths but it is important to note that 9,250 Americans died of COVID-19 alone and we have allowed our civil liberties to be rescinded.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/lower-vitamin-d-levels-may-indicate-high-risk-of-covid-19-infection-doctors_3454484.html
[KC’s Comment: we have been shouting this since the very beginning of this crisis. It is most interesting that for the first time in my adult life virtually all effective treatments for a current virus include a clinical nutrition component. In this case, vitamin D modulates immunity in the human body. We have posted numerous articles on its effectiveness. Also that numerous autopsies of black victims of COVID-19 showed dangerously deficient levels of vitamin D.]

MUST READ: Second wave? Not even close.
https://off-guardian.org/2020/07/07/second-wave-not-even-close
[KC’s Comment: No there is not a second wave of COVID19. This referenced article address all of the issues. COVID19 cases may be rising in some places but deaths are not. This combined with the fact that we’ll over 99% of the infected survive, and there are multiple medical and integrative protocols where virtually everyone recovers.]
"The death rate is a fact; anything beyond this is an inference.” William Farr (1807 – 1883)
William Farr, creator of Farr’s law, knew this over 100 years ago. Viruses rise and fall at roughly the same slopes. It’s predictable, and COVID-19 is no different, which is why, after looking at all these death curves, it’s not very hard to declare that the pandemic is over.
Oxford’s center for Evidence Based Medicine has a wonderful explanation of Farr’s law, and it’s well worth a read. Some of my favorite quotes:
Farr shows us that once peak infection has been reached then it will roughly follow the same symmetrical pattern on the downward slope […] In the midst of a pandemic, it is easy to forget Farr’s Law, and think the number infected will just keep rising, it will not. Just as quick as measures were introduced to prevent the spread of infection we need to recognise the point at which to open up society and also the special measures due to ‘density’ that require special considerations.”

Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data
[KC’s Comment: This pretty much settles it. Masks for the public are an ineffective strategy. If you are around COVID-19 patients then N-95 mask offers the best protection. Details below.]
In summary:
1-Surgical masks as source control: given the paucity of information about their performance as source control in real-world settings, along with the extremely low efficiency of cloth masks as filters and their poor fit, there is no evidence to support their use by the public or healthcare workers to control the emission of particles from the wearer.
2-N95 FFRs as source control: on patients will not be effective and may not be appropriate, particularly if they have respiratory illness or other underlying health conditions. Given the current extreme shortages of respirators needed in healthcare, we do not recommend the use of N95 FFRs in public or household settings.
3-Cloth masks as PPE: very poor filter and fit performance of cloth masks described earlier and very low effectiveness for cloth masks in healthcare settings lead us conclude that cloth masks offer no protection for healthcare workers inhaling infectious particles near an infected or confirmed patient.
4-Surgical masks as PPE: A retrospective cohort study found that nurses' risk of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome, also caused by a coronavirus) was lower with consistent use of N95 FFRs than with consistent use of a surgical mask.
Ways to best protect health workers
We recommend that healthcare organizations follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance by moving first through conventional, then contingency, and finally crisis scenarios to optimize the supply of respirators. We recommend using the CDC's burn rate calculator to help identify areas to reduce N95 consumption and working down the CDC checklist for a strategic approach to extend N95 supply.
For readers who are disappointed in our recommendations to stop making cloth masks for themselves or healthcare workers, we recommend instead pitching in to locate N95 FFRs and other types of respirators for healthcare organizations. Encourage your local or state government to organize and reach out to industries to locate respirators not currently being used in the non-healthcare sector and coordinate donation efforts to frontline health workers.

What? Only 23 pandemic deaths out of 35 million people in a state in India? How did they do it?
https://aurumproject.org.au/kerala-health-policy-covid/
[KC’s Comment:
Kerala, in India’s south-west, has achieved what other countries could only dream of. Its Health Policy is simple yet powerful.
Not only do rates of infant mortality keep improving, but life expectancy also keeps getting better. Now, with such success with COVID-19, the world surely must ask: “What are they doing right?” The Kerala Health Policy has been described as respectful, sustainable and harmonious. These are huge adjectives for any public healthcare system.
Quite simply, the government encouraged people’s participation, respectfully listened to what their population asked of them and then acted upon it. It goes without saying, in the midst of this Coronavirus Pandemic, that only 23 deaths is just gobsmacking. (When this blog was first written there were 14, then 19 and now 23 deaths as of 30th June, which I will repeat is still quite incredible.)
The statistics speak of success, even though Kerala faces the challenges of:
High unemployment rates
35 million people in a geographically small state
High proportion of the elderly
Recent financial constraints due to two major floods and Nipah virus outbreaks in 2018 and 2019.]

Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk Covid-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis | American Journal of Epidemiology | Oxford Academic
https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa093/5847586
[KC’s Comment: This study along with Dr. Zelenko’s success using HCQ should be definitive enough to establish Hydroxychloroquine and zinc the standard of care for treating patients outside of the hospital. Today we will have a guest comment by Dr. Jerome Corsi who sent me this study.]
[Dr. Corsi’s Comment: This is the breakthrough paper published one month ago in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at Yale, endorsed in print the use of HCQ for the early stage treatment of COVID10. Distinguishing as does Dr. Zelenko the difference between early stages of COVID19 and the efficacy of HCQ in outpatient treatment of the disease, Risch recommends HCQ should be widely available for MDs to prescribe.
The paper exposes Fauci (NIH and CDC) and Redfield (FDA) as running one of the greatest frauds in medical history by demonizing HCQ, a 75-year-old medication generally considered “safe” if prescribed by a MD. Oddly, the FDA has never explained why warnings cited regarding HCQ and the Q-T interval are only specified for HCQ when prescribed for COVID19, but not for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or malaria.
Once President Trump sees this, he will understand he has been vindicated again. This will enable the president to discredit the CDC NIH FDA mafia. The FDA now must stop citing the discredited WHO study and issue a correct statement that authorizes MDs to prescribe HCQ + zinc off-label for COVID19. the only thing the article misses is the importance of adding zinc.
This plus the publication of Dr. Zelenko’s study builds a strong case — along with the growing international data. If a new COVID-20 hits, or we experience a significant second peak of COVID19, the only medications available as prophylaxis are the HCQ & Zinc protocol Dr. Zelenko has established. Absent this, many who otherwise might be able to resist the next wave will have no defense.
The FDA withdrawal of the Emergency Use Authorization should open the government stockpile of HCQ to MDs and pharmacies nationwide so MDs can prescribe HCQ as needed (including for prevention) for their patients with pharmacies instructed this “off label” prescription for HCQ is consistent with FDA rules and regulations.]

[KC’s Comment A MUST READ. This is very thorough Research so I will let the compilation speak for itself.]
Fully referenced facts about Covid-19, provided by experts in the field, to help our readers make a realistic risk assessment. (Regular updates below)
“The only means to fight the plague is honesty.” (Albert Camus, 1947)
Overview
- According to the latest immunological and serological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% and thus in the range of a strong seasonal influenza (flu).
- In countries like the US, the UK, and also Sweden (without a lockdown), overall mortality since the beginning of the year is in the range of a strong influenza season; in countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland, overall mortality is in the range of a mild influenza season.
- Even in global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of a daily car ride to work. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account.
- Up to 80% of all test-positive persons remain symptom-free. Even among 70-79 year olds, about 60% remain symptom-free. Over 95% of all persons develop at most moderate symptoms.
- Up to 60% of all persons may already have a certain cellular background immunity to Covid19 due to contact with previous coronaviruses (i.e. common cold viruses).
- The median or average age of the deceased in most countries (including Italy) is over 80 years and only about 4% of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to normal mortality.
- In many countries, up to two thirds of all extra deaths occurred in nursing homes, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is not clear whether these people really died from Covid19 or from weeks of extreme stress and isolation.
- Up to 30% of all additional deaths may have been caused not by Covid19, but by the effects of the lockdown, panic and fear. For example, the treatment of heart attacks and strokes decreased by up to 60% because many patients no longer dared to go to hospital.
- Even in so-called “Covid19 deaths” it is often not clear whether they died from or with coronavirus (i.e. from underlying diseases) or if they were counted as “presumed cases” and not tested at all. However, official figures usually do not reflect this distinction.
- Many media reports of young and healthy people dying from Covid19 turned out to be false: many of these young people either did not die from Covid19, they had already been seriously ill (e.g. from undiagnosed leukaemia), or they were in fact 109 instead of 9 years old. The claimed increase in Kawasaki disease in children also turned out to be false.
- Strong increases in regional mortality can occur if there is a collapse in the care of the elderly and sick as a result of infection or panic, or if there are additional risk factors such as severe air pollution. Questionable regulations for dealing with the deceased sometimes led to additional bottlenecks in funeral or cremation services.
- In countries such as Italy and Spain, and to some extent the UK and the US, hospital overloads due to strong flu waves are not unusual. Moreover, this year up to 15% of health care workers were put into quarantine, even if they developed no symptoms.
- The often shown exponential curves of “corona cases” are misleading, as the number of tests also increased exponentially. In most countries, the ratio of positive tests to tests overall (i.e. the positive rate) remained constant at 5% to 25% or increased only slightly. In many countries, the peak of the spread was already reached well before the lockdown.
- Countries without curfews and contact bans, such as Japan, South Korea, Belarus or Sweden, have not experienced a more negative course of events than other countries. Sweden was even praised by the WHO and now benefits from higher immunity compared to lockdown countries.
- The fear of a shortage of ventilators was unjustified. According to lung specialists, the invasive ventilation (intubation) of Covid19 patients, which is partly done out of fear of spreading the virus, is in fact often counterproductive and damaging to the lungs.
- Contrary to original assumptions, various studies have shown that there is no evidence of the virus spreading through aerosols (i.e. tiny particles floating in the air) or through smear infections (e.g. on door handles or smartphones). The main modes of transmission are direct contact and droplets produced when coughing or sneezing.
- There is also no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of face masks in healthy or asymptomatic individuals. On the contrary, experts warn that such masks interfere with normal breathing and may become “germ carriers”. Leading doctors called them a “media hype” and “ridiculous”.
- Many clinics in Europe and the US remained strongly underutilized or almost empty during the Covid19 peak and in some cases had to send staff home. Millions of surgeries and therapies were cancelled, including many cancer screenings and organ transplants.
- Several media were caught trying to dramatize the situation in hospitals, sometimes even with manipulative images and videos. In general, the unprofessional reporting of many media maximized fear and panic in the population.
- The virus test kits used internationally are prone to errors and can produce false positive and false negative results. Moreover, the official virus test was not clinically validated due to time pressure and may sometimes react positive to other coronaviruses.
- Numerous internationally renowned experts in the fields of virology, immunology and epidemiology consider the measures taken to be counterproductive and recommend rapid natural immunisation of the general population and protection of risk groups.
- At no time was there a medical reason for the closure of schools, as the risk of disease and transmission in children is extremely low. There is also no medical reason for small classes, masks or ‘social distancing’ rules in schools.
- The claim that only (severe) Covid-19 but not influenza may cause venous thrombosis and pulmonary (lung) embolism is not true, as it has been known for 50 years that severe influenza greatly increases the risk of thrombosis and embolism, too.
- Several medical experts described express coronavirus vaccines as unnecessary or even dangerous. Indeed, the vaccine against the so-called swine flu of 2009, for example, led to sometimes severe neurological damage and lawsuits in the millions. In the testing of new coronavirus vaccines, too, serious complications and failures have already occurred.
- A global influenza or corona pandemic can indeed extend over several seasons, but many studies of a “second wave” are based on very unrealistic assumptions, such as a constant risk of illness and death across all age groups.
- Several nurses, e.g. in New York City, described an oftentimes fatal medical mismanagement of Covid patients due to questionable financial incentives or inappropriate medical protocols.
- The number of people suffering from unemployment, depressions and domestic violence as a result of the measures has reached historic record values. Several experts predict that the measures will claim far more lives than the virus itself. According to the UN 1.6 billion people around the world are at immediate risk of losing their livelihood.
- NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warned that the “corona crisis” will be used for the permanent expansion of global surveillance. Renowned virologist Pablo Goldschmidt spoke of a “global media terror” and “totalitarian measures”. Leading British virologist Professor John Oxford spoke of a “media epidemic”.
- More than 600 scientists have warned of an “unprecedented surveillance of society” through problematic apps for “contact tracing”. In some countries, such “contact tracing” is already carried out directly by the secret service. In several parts of the world, the population is already being monitored by drones and facing serious police overreach.
- A 2019 WHO study on public health measures against pandemic influenza found that from a medical perspective, “contact tracing” is “not recommended in any circumstances”. Nevertheless, contact tracing apps have already become partially mandatory in several countries.

'Russian drug to fight Covid-19': Russia to deliver potential virus-buster to hospitals this month — RT Russia News
https://www.rt.com/russia/490392-russia-covid-19-effective-drug/
[KC’s Comment: We have posted on the Japanese and Chinese versions of this drug. On Saturday, Russia's Ministry of Health registered Avifavir, a domestic version of the Japanese drug Favipiravir brand name Avigan, which is used against severe forms of influenza.
It was discovered while searching for drugs to treat a common flu and has strong inhibitory activity on RNA-polymerase RNA, which is dependent on most viruses with RNA genomes.
Thus Favipiravir is believed to be effective as it works by preventing the virus from copying its genetic material. This is also the reason pregnant or nursing woman are not prescribed these medications as inhibiting RNA can cause birth defect.
Those given Favipiravir saw that symptoms of fever and cough disappeared earlier but a similar number in each group ended up needing oxygen or respirators, concluding that Favipiravir was the "preferred" of the two drugs.
Due to risks of this drug in the outpatient setting it is restricted to in hospital clinical use.
It should be noted that Russia has performed ordered millions upon millions of doses of Hydroxychloroquine and zinc as have other countries.]

All of these had significantly higher morbidly and comorbities. The condition of health at presentation was the most significant issue in those who fared worse with COVID-19. African American men have lower life expectancy than their either White or Hispanic counterparts by 7 years and 5 years respectively. Minority communities of lower economic status are notoriously deficient in essential nutrients and due to dark skin present with higher levels of deficiencies of Vitamin D. I am compassionate about but do not subscribe to the racial issues brought up in this interview. The real issue is minorities with dark skin regardless of race that are of lower economic status and those who cannot or choose to not minimize cheaper foods which are notoriously deficient in essential nutrients which exasperate all diseases.]
The WHO and its cohorts at the NIH, CDC and FDA continue to loose credibility at an alarming rate
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-06-08-who-obliterated-argument-mandatory-vaccines-contact-tracing-asymptomatic-carriers-covid-19.html
[KC’s Comment: Stranger than fiction The WHO reversed itself by their declaration that asymptomatic carriers do not spread COVID-19.
Asymptomatic spread was the entire reason why world authorities demanded lockdowns, social distancing and masks, too. It was also the underlying justification for demanding mandatory vaccinations and contact tracing. After all, if the spread of coronavirus were limited to only those who obviously showed symptoms — and could therefore be easily identified and avoided — there would be no logical need for lockdowns, social distancing, masks, contact tracing or mandatory vaccines, since spreaders of the pandemic could be easily identified and avoided (or isolated with selective stay-at-home orders only for the symptomatic).
Additionally, the CDC now says the virus can’t be spread as easily by recently announcing that the coronavirus can’t be spread via surfaces, either. So there’s no more justification for people wearing gloves or sanitizing packages or grocery bags. In fact, according to the CDC’s newest admissions, there’s no more reason to avoid shaking hands, either.

Majority of First-Wave COVID-19 Clinical Trials Have Significant Design Shortcomings, Study Finds
https://www.newswise.com/coronavirus/majority-of-first-wave-covid-19-clinical-trials-have-significant-design-shortcomings-study-finds/?article_id=732866
[KC’s Comment: There needs to be a restructuring in the manner all clinical research is conducted and published. All conflicts of interest must be rooted out. The design of studies can predict the outcome desired. This analysis found that one-third of trials lacked clinical endpoints to clearly define success or failure. Nearly one-half were designed to enroll fewer than 100 patients, limiting their usefulness to assess modestly-sized treatment benefits. Two-thirds were “open label,” meaning that patients and doctors were aware who did and didn’t receive the treatment—in principle, allowing their unconscious expectations to influence the results. ”Because of these weaknesses, many of these studies are likely to yield only preliminary evidence,” says study first author Hemalkumar Mehta, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Bloomberg School. “Given the urgency of identifying definitive evidence on potential COVID-19 treatments, this is an instance where we wish we did not have to say ‘further research is needed’ because of basic trial design shortcomings and small trials.”]

Study design and methods
SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020) was used to inoculate plasma and whole blood units that then underwent treatment with riboflavin and UV light (Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology System, Terumo BCT, Lakewood, CO). The infectious titers of SARS-CoV-2 in the samples before and after R + UV treatment were determined by plaque assay on Vero E6 cells. Each plasma pool (n = 9) underwent R + UV treatment performed in triplicate using individual units of plasma and then repeated using individual whole blood donations (n = 3).
Results
Riboflavin and UV light reduced the infectious titer of SARS-CoV-2 below the limit of detection for plasma products at 60–100% of the recommended energy dose. At the UV light dose recommended by the manufacturer, the mean log reductions in the viral titers were ≥ 4.79 ± 0.15 Logs in plasma and 3.30 ± 0.26 in whole blood units.
Conclusion
Riboflavin and UV light effectively reduced the titer of SARS-CoV-2 to the limit of detection in human plasma and by 3.30 ± 0.26 on average in whole blood.]

The truth about mask or no mask.
https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/mask-not-mask-question/
[KC’s Comments: These 12 points from the article are all that need to be said.
Here are 12 FACTS that we KNOW…
1. No studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of COVID-19. As a matter of fact, research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine at the first of April indicated that “both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19.” (Reference)
2. In a February 2020 meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials involving 9,171 patients, there were no statistically significant differences in preventing influenza or viral infections using N95 respirators and surgical masks. (Reference)
3. A May 2020 study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask. (Reference)
4. In a 2008 study of surgical masks worn by 53 surgeons, researchers found that the mask reduced the blood oxygen levels significantly, creating a condition known as “hypoxia.” (Reference)
5. A 2015 study indicated that hypoxia inhibits T-lymphocytes (the main immune cells used to fight viral infections) by increasing the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). (Reference) In other words, wearing a mask, which has been shown to cause hypoxia, may actually set the stage for contracting COVID-19 and make the consequences much worse.
6. Hypoxia promotes inflammation which can promote the growth, invasion and spread of cancers. (Reference) Hypoxia is also a significant factor in atherosclerosis, thus it increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. (Reference)
7. The WARNING on the box of surgical masks states clearly “THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) OR OTHER VIRUSES OR CONTAMINANTS.”
8. Those who wear masks are constantly rebreathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and can travel into the brain. (Reference, Reference, Reference)
9. Anthony Fauci, head of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), did an interview on 60 Minutes where he said, “People shouldn’t be walking around wearing masks.”
10. The World Health Organization says that there is no need for healthy people to wear face masks. (Reference) They recommend that healthy people only wear masks when taking care of someone infected with COVID-19. (Reference)
11. Surgeon General Jerome Adams advised against the general public wearing face masks, saying they were “not proven to be effective” in preventing people from contracting COVID-19. (Reference)
12. Although the CDC recommends wearing masks, they admitted that they do not have data to confirm that wearing a mask reduces the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. (Reference)]

Scientists raise concern over hydroxychloroquine study
https://news.yahoo.com/scientists-raise-concern-over-hydroxychloroquine-study-131539434.html
[KC’s Comment: There appears to be a massive campaign to discredit the 70-year-old generic drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Chloriquine as effective COVID-19 treatments. This was a large study of nearly 100,000 patients. Chloroquine CQ and Hydroxychloroquine HCQ do not work against COVID-19 without zinc. HCQ works against COVID-19 primarily as a zinc ionophore and there is NO mention in this Lancet study that zinc was given to ANYONE. Most people are deficient in zinc. Zinc shuts down viral replication in the cell If you give CQ and HCQ to a zinc deficient patient, that is, if enough zinc is available to be ushered into the cell.
There are also other problems with this study. "This impact has led many researchers around the world to scrutinise in detail the publication in question," said the open letter, signed by a number of prominent scientists.
It added this scrutiny raised "both methodological and data integrity concerns".
The authors list several issues with the study, including a lack of information about the countries and hospitals that contributed to the data, a lack of an ethics review and discrepancies in data for Australia, which did not match published national figures.
"Surgisphere (the data company) have since stated this was an error of classification of one hospital from Asia. This indicates the need for further error checking throughout the database," the letter said.
Among the signatories are clinicians, statisticians and other researchers from around the world, from Harvard to Imperial College London.]

SARS-CoV-2 mutations do not appear to increase transmissibility
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/may/sars-cov-2-mutations-do-not-appear-increase-transmissibility
[KC’s Comment: Viral mutations are being shown to be mostly detrimental to the virus.
Some important excerpts from this article are:
"We employed a novel technique to determine whether viruses with the new mutation are actually transmitted at a higher rate, and found that none of the candidate mutations appear to be benefiting the virus."
The analysis of virus genomes from over 15,000 COVID-19 patients from 75 countries is published today as a pre-print on bioRxiv and has not yet been peer-reviewed.
Coronaviruses, like other RNA viruses, can develop mutations in three different ways: by mistake from copying errors during viral replication, through interactions with other viruses infecting the same cell (recombination or reassortment), or they can be induced by host RNA modification systems which are part of host immunity (e.g. a person's own immune system).
The researchers found no evidence that any of the common mutations are increasing the virus's transmissibility. Instead, they found that some common mutations are neutral, but most are mildly detrimental to the virus.]

Analysis of COVID-19 autopsies reveals many new details about this disease
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-analysis-covid-autopsies-reveals-disease.html
[KC’s Comment: The physical evidence of autopsy of the first 70 deceased patients in this group show clear evidence of damage to the endothelium which are the cells that line the blood vessels that are involved in clotting, and additional evidence of hypoxia (lack of oxygen), thromboembolisms (clotting) and neuropsychiatric episodes.
The lungs in nearly all cases showed diffuse damage to the alveoli, the small sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the blood. This damage is the typical microscopic evidence of clinical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with most cases showing fibrin (a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting of blood) and/or platelet thrombi, or clots, to varying extents.
The totality of findings in the autopsy series as a whole, with blood clots in multiple other organ systems—most notably the brain, kidney, and liver—reflects endothelial damage as an underlying process, which would also correlate with the activation of the coagulation cascade and persistent elevation of blood markers of inflammation.
These combinations may have resulted in many patients being mistreated. Initially patients were not being treated for these issues but instead as for pneumonia including using ventilators which surely resulted in many deaths.
This study brings new light into the pathophysiology of COVID-19, offering justification for novel treatment plans, including the anticoagulation strategies being put into effect by clinical leaders including Valentin Fuster, MD, Ph.D., Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief at The Mount Sinai Hospital.]

[KC’s Comment: This is a well done study / analysis from autopsy of African American patients who were deemed to have died of COVID-19. It was published in The Lancet - Respiratory Medicine. Researchers did a good job of determining that COVID-19 mortality was directly related to the spontaneous coagulopathic / thrombotic activity of the small vessels of the lungs and related cytokine storm as we have been posting about.
They also found that there was no secondary infection in the lungs which based in our postings might suggest that Hydroxychloroquine and zinc may well be an effective therapy without zpac. Lastly these researchers found that clotting was not grossly apparent in any other organs examined, including kidney, spleen, pancreas, and liver.
What they did not address are the numerous studies we have been posting about that conclusively show that vitamin D deficiency is a major factor in African American fatalities from COVID-19, in clotting and in the cytokine storm.

COVID-19: The Inflammation Link and the Role of Nutrition in Potential Mitigation
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/5/1466/htm
[KC’s Comment: This article does a great job of communicating the critical importance that nutrition plays in prevention and recovery from COVID-19. It addresses, nutritional immune enhancement, anticoagulation, anti-inflammatory including dampening the dreaded cytokine storm. Bottom line get NUTRIFIED.
Following is a lengthy excerpt from the referenced article that is well worth reading particularly if you like scientific reading. If not then I suggest you read my article at the beginning of this blog. The numbered clinical references below are at the end of the referenced article.
“In the majority of severe COVID-19 patients, the cytokine storm was associated with high levels of erythematosus sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), which were associated with ARDS, hypercoagulation, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), presenting as thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, and gangrene of the limbs. It is possible that the cytokine storm may exacerbate lung damage [11,44]. Blanco-Melo et al. [45] determined that the unique inappropriate inflammatory response of COVID-19 is due to the low levels of type I and II interferons in conjunction with an elevated expression of IL-6 and increased chemokines. They hypothesize that the enhanced inflammatory response, along with a reduced innate antiviral defense, may be the “defining and driving feature” of COVID-19 infections.”
“The inflammatory response plays a crucial role in the clinical manifestations of COVID-19. Post SARS-CoV-2 entry, host factors trigger an immune response against the virus, which, if uncontrolled, may result in pulmonary tissue damage, functional impairment, and reduced lung capacity [10,11]. Damage to the pulmonary interstitial arteriolar walls indicates that an inflammatory response plays an important role throughout the course of the disease, despite the pathogenic effect of the virus [10,11]. Apart from nonspecific inflammatory responses such as edema and inflammatory cell infiltration, severe exfoliation of alveolar epithelial cells, alveolar septal widening, damage to alveolar septa, and alveolar space infiltration has been detected in a distinctly organized manner [10,11]. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause pathological changes, degeneration, infiltration, and hyperplasia [10].”
“To date, the most effective mitigation strategies being implemented globally consist of encouraging standard public health practices such as regular hand washing with soap, wearing a face mask [28], and covering a cough with your elbow [29], along with introducing social distancing measures, “stay in place” guidelines, expansive testing, and contact tracing [30,31]. However, it has been postulated that a healthy nutritional status may support immune function and prevent the onset of a severe infection [32,33,34,35], which leads to the question of whether maintaining a healthy nutritional status is warranted at this time to prime the immune systems of individuals not infected with COVID-19.”
“Although the lungs are considered the main target organ of SARS-CoV-2, the virus can affect many other organs, including the heart and blood vessels, the kidneys, the gut, and brain, through various mechanisms [46]. It has been widely proposed that one of the ways the virus can critically affect these organs is through an intense inflammatory reaction, while other mechanisms have yet to be elucidated. For instance, it is now documented that COVID-19 patients may be predisposed to arterial and venous thromboembolisms due to excessive inflammation, diffuse intravascular coagulation, and hypoxia. In a Dutch study of COVID-19 patients, one-third exhibited blood clots [47]. Therefore, antiplatelet agents may be considered to treat COVID-19. Overall, considering inflammation plays a significant role in COVID-19 pathology, it would seem logical that it would be important to control cytokine production, given that they are responsible for the accumulation of immune cells and fluids. As such, anti-inflammatory treatments may hold promise for the management of COVID-19 complications”
“Generally, where possible, an effective strategy to reduce one’s risk of developing NCDs is to control the activities of inflammatory mediators via modifiable risk factors such as diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices [87,93]. Only the adoption of a long-term and consistent dietary pattern benefits human health. Conversely, adoption of an unhealthy diet and lifestyles is associated with low-grade inflammation and increased oxidative stress, which could lead to the development of NCDs [87,94]. Certainly, there is considerable evidence that the food and nutrients we consume affect how our immune system functions [34,95,96]. The role of nutrition amidst the current global pandemic will be discussed in Section 5.
Some reports [25,90] have suggested that a higher body mass index (BMI) or excess adiposity carry risk factors for complications arising from COVID-19 infection. This may be due to a higher prevalence of pulmonary problems in obese populations relative to their healthy weight counterparts [97]. Patients with obesity and comorbidities that compromise their heart or lung function are likely at higher risk for developing severe diseases with COVID-19 [14], much like the nonobese patients with those risk factors. Maintaining a body weight and composition in line with recommendations [98] for stature and gender (among other considerations, such as comorbid disease or athletic discipline) is prudent.”
Immunomodulatory and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Maintaining a Healthy Nutritional Status
Nutritional status can have a significant impact on an individual’s overall health, the reduction of NCDs, and a reduced susceptibility to developing infections. In this section, the beneficial effects of a healthy diet are discussed in relation to the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, it must be noted that, to date, there are no known evidence-based therapeutics or treatment strategies available to prevent the incidence or severity of COVID-19 infection. Likewise, there is no single food or natural remedy that has been proven to prevent COVID-19 infections, which has been made clear by the WHO [99]. However, learning from previous research in relation to other viral infections, it is clear that nutritional status plays a significant role in patient outcomes [100]. The presence of comorbidities in COVID-19 patients is currently a significant concern [25], which leads to the question of whether the nutritional status of these patients is a concern. Likewise, for those not affected, could following a diet characterized by anti-inflammatory properties potentially benefit or prevent severe infections in patients with comorbidities who contract COVID-19? In general, how important is it to follow a healthy diet currently for the general population? There are various diets and nutrients that potentially impart anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties on diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases, and numerous NCDs, without risking immunosuppression [101,102,103,104]; thus, diet is worthy of significantly more research.
Due to its safety and ease of application, nutrition is well-placed to have a key role in the challenge of “keeping healthy people healthy”. Moderate-quality evidence suggests that dietary patterns and individual nutrients can influence systemic markers of immune functions. However, the complexity of the interaction (nutrition and immunology) necessitates further research in advance of population–based dietary recommendations. At a minimum, the attainment of reference nutrient intakes (RNIs) or recommend daily allowance (RDA) for those nutrients thought to have a role in supporting immune functions is recommended at this time. These nutrients and their potential roles in either immune functions or respiratory tract infections are discussed below.
Maintaining nutritional status at this time is significant, since the battle against COVID-19 will likely last longer than what was initially anticipated. It is also apparent that social isolation and mitigation measures such as “stay at home” orders will last for a prolonged period for millions of people around the world. Therefore, in order to prevent the development or exacerbation of NCDs, which are currently a significant burden on global health systems [105], and to maintain a healthy immune system, special attention must be given to maintaining a healthy diet, lifestyle, exercise regime, and minimal stress as much as safely possible at this difficult time [106].
Indeed, it is particularly important at this time to consider our elderly communities, as the elderly are not only predisposed to NCDs, but they are also vulnerable to the increased risk of malnourishment, infections, and COVID-19 [90]. In fact, age itself is a risk factor for developing COVID-19 [107]. This is due to a functional decline of the immune system with age known as immunosenescence [108,109]. Malnourishment can occur for several reasons, including poor socioeconomic conditions, mental status, social status, and a host of other multifactorial issues [110]. Indeed, often, there are nutritional deficiencies of calcium, vitamin C, vitamin D, folate, and zinc amongst elderly populations [111]. Malnourishment can exasperate an impaired immune system in the elderly, making them susceptible to infections [112]. A healthy, balanced diet can offer the necessary macro- and micronutrients, prebiotics, probiotics, and symbiotics in the elderly that can restore and maintain immune cell function, thus increasing protection against chronic inflammation-related NCDs, on the one hand, and potential infections and related inflammatory manifestations on the other hand [87,113]. The foods, food groups, and nutrients described in this review have been chosen due to their potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. However, there are other nutrients, etc., worthy of further investigation, including vitamin A, selenium, and various probiotics and nutraceuticals [114,115]]

“The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and other states are doing the same. Several states—including Pennsylvania, the site of one of the country’s largest outbreaks, as well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermont—are blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didn’t even know they were doing this.
The widespread use of the practice means that it remains difficult to know exactly how much the country’s ability to test people who are actively sick with COVID-19 has improved.

[KC’s Comment: we have discussed the Cytokine Storm a lot since this COVID-19 outbreak and the fact that natural compounds (Vitamins A, C, D3, E and fish oil) have proven to be very effective at dampening the cytokine storm.
In this article researchers took a similar approach and rather than blocking cytokines, medical staff could turn off virus-induced inflammation by broadly activating the body's natural inflammation-clearing activities.
"We are now recognizing the importance of controlling this robust inflammatory response in COVID-19 infection in order to reduce associated organ damage and mortality," said Gilligan, a student at the Medical School. "Finding new ways to dampen the body's inflammatory response to COVID-19 will likely be as important as finding effective antiviral therapies to control COVID-19 infection and reduce life-threatening organ damage."
"Moreover, these compounds have been found to be non-toxic and non-immunosuppressive in ongoing clinical trials for other inflammatory diseases, making them even more promising candidates for rapid clinical translation," said Gilligan.]

Vitamin D determines severity in COVID-19 so government advice needs to change
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-vitamin-d-severity-covid-advice.html
[KC’s Comment: we have been posting on all aspects of vitamin D since the beginning. Vitamin D modulates immunity and modulates the cytokine storm. This article points out that vitamin D can support the immune system through a number of immune pathways involved in fighting SARS2-COV. Many recent studies confirm the pivotal role of vitamin D in viral infections including COVID-19.
What is fascinating is that this study shows that, counter intuitively, countries at lower latitude and typically sunny countries, such as Spain and Northern Italy, had low concentrations of vitamin D and high rates of vitamin D deficiency. These countries also experienced the highest infection and death rates in Europe. The northern latitude countries of Norway, Finland and Sweden, have higher vitamin D levels despite less UVB sunlight exposure, because supplementation and fortification of foods is more common. These Nordic countries have lower COVID-19 infection and death rates. The correlation between low vitamin D levels and death from COVID-19 is statistically significant. It is safe to say that maintaining ideal levels of vitamin D is paramount to prevention of and recovery from COVID-19.
As we have stressed for years The Endocrine Society defines vitamin D deficiency as a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood level below 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/liter) and vitamin D insufficiency as a level between 21–29 ng/mL. Conventional medicine continues to recommends outdated levels (30+ ng/ml) as optimal. Vitamin D researchers are suggesting optimal is essentially double e (52.5–72.5 ng/liter) as optimal vitamin D levels.]

It has been clear that COVID19 symptoms are much more like ARDS than like pneumonia which is why being in a ventilator was damaging these patients lungs resulting in death in almost 90% of the cases.
This article speaks of Equadorian researchers injecting Chlorine dioxide to dissolve clots in the lungs with 100% success, zero deaths. It is interesting that President Trump raised the thought using chlorine as a potential therapy for which he was vilified in the press https://reason.com/2020/04/24/its-not-fake-news-trump-did-actually-suggest-that-injecting-bleach-could-be-a-cure-for-covid-19/.
In this article it states that Covid-19 isn’t an Acute Respiratory Disease (ARD), it turns out. Rather, it often presents as an inflammation and blood clotting condition (see The Lancet research, below) which causes the blood to be unable to carry oxygen, resulting in patient hypoxia and eventual asphyxiation.
This is why intravenous chlorine dioxide — which immediately delivers a high dose of oxygen to blood cells — is believed to work so effectively against covid-19. It reportedly restores the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin and clears the clotting in the lungs, all while destroying pathogens.
Chlorine dioxide researcher and advocate Andreas Kalcker has posted a video (in Spanish) where he explains the findings. That video, entitled, “Mas de 100 Casos de Covid-19 recuperados con CDS por medicos de Aememi,” is found at this link on Lbry.tv.

If someone has diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, including high-blood pressure the number one recommendation from all medical societies is they take an Ace-2 inhibitor and or an ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) which up regulates Ace-2 receptors, for high cholesterol it is a statin drug which also increases expression of Ace-2 receptors especially in the lung tissue. This significantly increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 and of negative outcomes.

Men's blood contains greater concentrations of enzyme that helps COVID-19 infect cells
https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-05/esoc-mbc050720.php
[KC’s Comment: We have repeatedly warned that drugs that cause the up regulation of Ace-2 receptors increase the susceptibility to COVID-19 and increase the risk of negative outcomes. “Evidence from a large study of several thousand patients shows that men have higher concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in their blood than women. Since ACE2 enables the coronavirus to infect healthy cells, this may help to explain why men are more vulnerable to COVID-19 than women” says this article.]

[KC’s Comment: In this video that needs to been seen by everyone, Dr. Paul Marik Is quoted as saying, “People are dying needlessly. This protocol will save lives.”
Dr Howard Kornfeld along with six of his board certified emergency medicine physician colleagues are seeing nearly 100 percent success in treating COVID19 patients with a simple protocol of administering at first sign of symptoms and every six hours afterwards; IV Vitamin C, Corticosteroids and Heparin.
As stated in this video the golden hour of resuscitation is at the moment of the onset of symptoms. By the time patients get to the ER it is often to late. Therapies need to be started early and aggressively and do everything possible to keep patients off of a ventilator where the death rate is as high as 90%. We must change our strategy and have the doctors in the front lines We need to treat them for the disease they have not for what we think or want them to have. We have effective therapies to alter the course of the disease. The combination given at first sign of symptoms of IV Vitamin C, Corticosteroids and Heparin given early has near 100 percent success thus far as do multiple other therapies we have posted about since this crisis began.]

[KC’s Comment: We have been discussing the use of UVC light and Ozone for sterilizing COVID-19 virus since the beginning of this pandemic. “UVC (for Ultraviolet-C) rays are dangerous, potentially causing skin cancer and eye problems, and can be used only when no one is present. The New York subway system, following the example of Chinese subways, plans to use ultraviolet lamps to disinfect its trains, but only during nighttime closures. A team at Columbia's Center for Radiological Research is experimenting with so-called far-UVC, rays whose wavelength of 222 nanometers makes them safe for humans but still lethal to viruses, the center's director, David Brenner, told AFP. At those frequencies, he explained, the rays cannot penetrate the surface of the skin nor of the eye, "we have found absolutely nothing; the mice are very happy -- and very cute as well," Brenner said.]

Virus mutations unlikely to mean stronger strain: experts
https://news.yahoo.com/virus-mutations-unlikely-mean-stronge...
[KC’s Comment: As we have posted about for weeks viruses mutate during the viral replication process in the cells. This is why the seasonal flu shot isn’t very effective because the virus is essentially a different virus by the time people get the vaccine. "Mutations are what happens when genomes replicate. Comes with the territory like showers with the springtime," notes William Hanage, associate professor at Harvard University. As we have posted three weeks ago COVID-19 had already muted over 122 times.
The coronavirus' constant mutation is unlikely to have changes its potency or its contagiousness, disease experts say, despite recent research suggesting the emergence of a more virulent strain. A pre-paper -- that is, not reviewed by a collection of the researchers' peers -- released last month by Los Alamos National Laboratory claimed to have identified a new strain of the virus. A mutation on one of the virus' protein spikes made the strain currently circulating in Europe and the United States potentially more potent than the one that emerged from China at the end of last year, the authors claimed.
For clarity the Pre-Paper, from Los Alamos Labs, that was not peer reviewed DOES NOT appear to be valid as viruses tend to degrade through replication and mutation not become more virulent.]

[KC’s Comment: It is tragic to think that this pandemic could result in more deaths than the COVID-19 virus itself. Even more tragic is that number is disproportionately tilted to younger people who would otherwise be at low risk of contracting or succumbing to the disease. “COVID-19 has directly claimed tens of thousands of U.S. lives, but conditions stemming from the novel coronavirus -- rampant unemployment, isolation and an uncertain future -- could lead to 75,000 deaths from drug or alcohol abuse and suicide, new research suggests”]
Positive Tests For Recovered Virus Patients Are Not Reinfections, WHO Says
https://www.sciencealert.com/those-positive-results-from-recovered-covid-19-patients-weren-t-reinfections-after-all
[KC’s Comment: South Korean health officials reported more than 100 such cases in April, raising concerns that patients who had recovered could become reinfected.
"We are aware that some patients test positive after they clinically recover," a WHO spokesperson told AFP, without making specific reference to the South Korean cases.
"From what we currently know – and this is based on very recent data – it seems they these patients are expelling left over materials from their lungs, as part of the recovery phase."
In a recent interview with BBC, infectious disease epidemiologist Maria Van Kerhove, part of the WHO's Health Emergencies Program, explained the "dead cell" scenario.
"As the lungs heal, there are parts of the lung that are dead cells that are coming up. These are fragments of the lungs that are actually testing positive," she said. "It is not infectious virus, it's not reactivation. It is actually part of the healing process."
This theory may be correct but also could be related to the problem with the inaccuracies of PCR being used as a diagnostic test.]

[KC’s Comment: More trials and evidence that Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are safe and effective in treating COVID-19. Concern was raised about also using these drugs for prevention, "My concern about the drug in the pre-infection state or the infected state is that they block the innate immune pathways that may allow the immune system to detect virus and to start a response against it," says Art Krieg, who has spent decades studying this process. He sees both drugs as likely to be more useful to treat late stages of the disease, as has been done in China and elsewhere. there is growing evidence these drugs are also safe and effective for prevention and treatment of COVID-19.]

The Effect of Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin on the Corrected QT Interval in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCEP.120.008662
[KC’s Comment: You cannot erase the 70 year safety profile of Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine simply by claiming it increases the risk of cardiac death. This study also combined these drugs with Zpac to see if the combination somehow increased cardiac rhythm side effects. THERE WERE NO CARDIAC DEATHS. If we are really looking for the truth then this study should put an end to that notion. I suspect the attempts to discredit Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine will continue. Keep in mind that Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine work by driving zinc into the cell to block cellular replication. Most people are deficient in zinc and multiple other essential nutrients. If you are deficient in zinc then these drugs have no zinc to drive into the cells. So if you or a loved one are taking Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine then it seems prudent to also take zinc. A major key to protection and treatment is to get NUTRIFIED.]

Indonesian study: Low Vitamin D patients ten times more likely to die of Coronavirus
http://joannenova.com.au/2020/05/indonesian-study-low-vitamin-d-patients-ten-times-more-likely-to-die-of-coronavirus/
[KC’s Comment: This is a BOMBSHELL. We have been saying this since the beginning. Vitamin D modulates immunity including the cytokine storm which is a potentially deadly over active immune response. We believe low vitamin D is the REASON that dark skinned people are disproportionatly affected because darker skin requires more time in the sun to make vitamin D. The vast majority of people are dangerously deficient in Vitamin D.
Conventional and alternative medicine recognize that vitamin D is deficient however vitamin D researchers believe that optimal vitamin D levels are twice the outdated government listed levels at >60 ng/ml.
Vitamin D levels were grouped as follows:
Normal – vitamin D level of 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/L) or above.
Insufficient – vitamin D level between 21-29 ng/ml (51-74 nmol/L)
Deficient – vitamin D level below 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) *** Using the revised standard of >60 ng/ml as optimal makes these Deficient levels actually Dangerously Deficient
***It is critical to note that the “NORMAL” vitamin D levels are deficient according to vitamin D researchers who believe optimal vitamin D levels should be >60 ng/ml, a level twice the outdated standard. Therefore, what used to be normal is actually deficient, what used to be insufficient is now deficient and what used to be deficient is now actually dangerously deficient.
Our primary recommendation at the beginning of this crisis was to GET NUTRIFIED and that advice is just as important today. If you want to be healthy then you must be properly nutrified.
1-Get NUTRIFIED
2-Acquire positive diet, nutrition and lifestyle habits (7 Keys listed in the article)
3-Avoid immune lowering, health destroying diet and lifestyle mistakes (listed in the article).
4-Take extra Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 and other immune boosting nutrients (once you do #1 above you have your foundation covered and won’t need to take a ton of others)
5-PRAY, BELIEVE AND DO NOT FEAR (MOST IMPORTANT).

[KC’s Comment: Remdesivir is an anti-viral drug that is currently being studied in multiple trials around the world. “In this study of adult patients admitted to hospital for severe COVID-19, remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits.” And, “Adverse events were reported in 102 (66%) of 155 remdesivir recipients versus 50 (64%) of 78 placebo recipients. Remdesivir was stopped early because of adverse events.” The Lancet Article reports.
We posted yesterday about reported success in the NIH Remdesivir trial however a closer examination show some difficult to explain irregularities within that study. Initial conclusions publicized yesterday on mainstream news appear to be in direct opposition to findings of similar trials world wide including this study. It would seem Remdesivir might have breathed its last breath as a COVID-19 drug. Back to the Hydroxychloroquine, z-Pac and zinc protocol?]

Vitamin D Levels Low in COVID19 Deaths - SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION YET
First Data to be Published on COVID-19 Severity and Vitamin D Levels

Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths
https://www.grassrootshealth.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Grant-GRH-Covid-paper-2020.pdf
[KC’s Comment: FINALLY a study looking at Vitamin D levels of COVID-19.
We have stressed from the beginning of this crisis and many years before that Vitamin D levels are critically important in immunity. Vitamin D is the main modulator of the immune system including modulating the dreaded “cytokine storm” that is cited as primary cause of death in COVID19 cases.
Last month The GrassrootsHealth Nutrient Research Institute did a research paper demonstrating that Vitamin D supplementation could reduce the risks of Flu and CoVID19 deaths. Now, in a pre-print paper (to be peer reviewed) they have published an analysis of the Vitamin D levels of actual COVID19 patients (both studies above).
Cases were all confirmed for COVID-19 and were grouped as follows:
Mild – presenting with mild clinical symptoms and no diagnosis of pneumonia
Ordinary – presenting with fever, respiratory symptoms, and a confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia
Severe – cases with hypoxia and respiratory distress
Critical – cases with respiratory failure requiring intensive care
Vitamin D levels were grouped as follows:
Normal – vitamin D level of 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/L) or above.
***It is critical to note that the “NORMAL” vitamin D levels are deficient according to vitamin D researchers who believe optimal vitamin D levels should be >60 ng/ml a level twice the outdated standard
*** Using a revised standard of Insufficient – vitamin D level between 21-29 ng/ml (51-74 nmol/L) >60 ng/ml as optimal makes these Insufficient levels actually Deficient
Deficient – vitamin D level below 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L)
*** Using the revised standard of >60 ng/ml as optimal makes these Deficient levels actually Dangerously Deficient
The average vitamin D level of all 212 cases was 24 ng/ml using >60ng/ml Dangerously Deficient.
Of all COVID-19 cases; 49 (23%) cases were categorized as mild, with an average vitamin D level of 31 ng/ml, 59 (28%) were categorized as ordinary, with an average vitamin D level of 27 ng/ml, 56 (26%) were categorized as severe, with an average vitamin D level of 21 ng/ml, 48 (23%) were critical, with an average vitamin D level of 17 ng/ml, 86% of all cases among patients with normal vitamin D levels were mild, while 73% of cases among patients with vitamin D deficiency were severe or critical.
For each standard deviation increase in vitamin D level, the odds of having a mild case compared to a severe case were 7.94 times more, and the odds of having a mild case compared to a critical case were 19.61 times more. All outcomes were statistically significant.]

New Study: The Flu Vaccine Is “Significantly Associated” With An Increased Risk of Coronavirus – Collective Evolution
https://www.collective-evolution.com/2020/04/16/new-study-the-flu-vaccine-is-significantly-associated-with-an-increased-risk-of-coronavirus/
[KC’s Comment: We have been reporting this from the beginning of this crisis. The flu vaccine is “Significantly Associated” with INCREASED RISK of Coronavirus. “The study examined virus interference in a Department of Defense population, this refers to the increased risk of other respiratory viruses as a result of, in this case, the influenza vaccine. The study found that virus interference varied among vaccinated individuals for individual respiratory viruses, and found that for coronavirus in particular, in this study, those who had been vaccinated with the flu vaccine had a 36 percent higher risk of contracting it.”
This should open our eyes. The flu vaccine is barely effective against the flu, receiving it carries significant risk to a person's health, and it lowers their immunity to other infections in current and subsequent years including COVID-19.]

Radboud University Medical Center (Netherlands) researchers publish new insights into COVID-19 | EurekAlert! Science News
https://eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-04/rumc-rrp042920.php
[KC’s Comments: Based in the information we have been posting from Dr. Charles Simone MD about certain pharmaceutical drugs (one-class is ace2 inhibitors) being a primary cause older people have been dying at a much higher rate this COVID-19 information is a very plausible theory. These points are so relevant I have include large excerpts from this article. The theory goes like this; “An infection with the coronavirus COVID-19 is different from the flu or other more common viral diseases. Radboudumc researchers wondered what exactly happens in the case of a severe infection. Doctors recognize three clear phases. In the beginning, patients quickly become short of breath because of fluid in the lungs. About nine days after the infection an inflammatory reaction occurs in the lungs; the patient's antibodies might attack the virus in the lungs, which can further aggravate the situation in the lung. Some of the patients who recover after a stay in the ICU develop thrombosis and scarring in the lungs due to the long-standing fluid, which makes recovery difficult. In short: it all begins with a fluid problem.” The theory continues; "We have been closely monitoring the COVID patients," says Frank van de Veerdonk. "That first phase, during which the lungs fill up with fluid, CT scans of the lungs look bad and patients quickly experience shortness of breath due to the administration of fluid, is very characteristic. This image cannot be explained solely by the infection of the lungs. So we got the idea that the capillaries, which are the very small blood vessels, start to leak into the lungs during this process. That leakage causes the lungs problems, because they partly fill up."
“ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) is known to play a role in maintaining blood pressure throughout the body, which is regulated by the RAAS, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The RAAS system, and thus ACE2, controls blood pressure by regulating vasodilatation and vasoconstriction. But ACE2 has another function, which up until now has remained out of the picture in coronavirus infections. Van de Veerdonk: "ACE2 keeps the substance bradykinin under control. Bradykinin makes blood vessels leak. We have good reason to believe that with COVID-19 infections we see exactly this effect: when the virus is introduced, ACE2 receptors disappear from the lung cells, giving bradykinine free rein in causing the small blood vessels to leak massively at the site of infection."
“Van de Veerdonk and colleagues recognize this phenomenon from another very rare disease: hereditary angioedema. People with this disease can suddenly develop swelling of, for example, hands, feet, abdomen or face. These swellings can persist for several hours, sometimes even days, after which they disappear just as quickly as they have developed. The cause of these swellings: leaking blood vessels due to too much bradykinin. Some side effects of ACE inhibitors, which are used against high blood pressure, are also very similar to symptoms seen with COVID-19. The dry cough, for example. And in rare cases, angioedema can also occur with ACE inhibitors." The problems of vascular leakage can be aggravated by an inflammatory phase.]
Dr. David Katz | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
https://youtu.be/Lze-rMYLf2E
[KC’s Comment: I’m no fan of Bill Maher however truth is often found where you least expect it. This interview with Dr. David Katz is the most balanced and perhaps the only balanced thing I have ever heard from him. The information is logical and powerful. Dr. Katz was the President of the AMERICAN College of Lifestyle Medicine promoting healthy lifestyles for long-term health including good nutrition. Dr. Katz made a profound and true statement that is essentially what Del Bigtree said to me last night. He said that “flattening the curve makes sense in phase 1 so we do not overwhelmed the medical system whale we figure out how to deal with this problem but flattening the curve does and preventing viral transmission does not save lives but changes the date one becomes infected. He also said one of the frustrating things about promoting healthy lifestyles is that the timeline for harm or injury from unhealthy lifestyles is too long this people put it off and often never make changes. People tend to respond to things that can harm or injure them in the short-term aka acute threats like COVID-19. In the COVID-19 world good lifestyle and nutrition habits that promote long-term health actually have short-term impact in enhancing immunity and ability to recover. Eighty plus percent of disease, susceptibility and virility of disease is diet and lifestyle related. It is time to get healthy America. It can save your life today as well as enhance the quality of your life and extend the length of your life.]
The Scientific Reason UV Destroys Coronavirus

[KC’s Comment: Highly scientific article but profound in it’s simplicity. We have posted for 8 weeks that UV is a powerful tool against COVID-19 and any other pathogen. President Trump was mocked by the media when he mentioned UV as a possible treatment for COVID-19 but much scientific support has since emerged. UV is one of the reasons that viruses diminish in the summer because of it’s direct effects and because it provokes vitamin D production in the body which modulates immunity. The fall and winter are known as cold & flu season but should be known as low sunlight and low vitamin D season. Thus supplementing with vitamin D during this time is wise.]

The coronavirus pandemic is moment of truth for anti-vaccine movement

[KC’s Comment: It should not about being pro or anti- vax. It should be about truth, transparency and personal freedom. What do the facts tell us? Vaccines are based on the homeopathic concept of introducing a small amount of a pathogen to provoke immunity. The homeopathic version called homeoprophylaxis which we have been posting about for weeks remains a much safer and arguably more effective strategy. Everyone innately wants to protect themselves and their loved ones thus the concept of vaccines is appealing. Nevertheless, there are significant health risks involved including potential injury and even death from receiving certain vaccines. We must be informed with truth in order for us to make informed decisions. I have been watching the new docuseries about vaccines called The Truth About Vaccines 2020 and it is eye opening to see credible doctor after credible doctor discussing the topic including real risks and benefits.]

[KC’s Comment: We have been posting on the issues with COVID-19 testing. This report casts additional doubts on COVID-19 testing. There are many problems with the COVID-19 tests not the least among them are both false positives and false negatives (specificity and sensitivity). It also points out that primarily the tests are not FDA approved, not accurate and made by a Chinese company with sloppy manufacturing history. It is suggested the the numbers of false positives greatly exceed true positives which if true the total numbers of infected people would be far less that believed thus the case fatality rate would be much higher than believed. An even greater issue is that the information gleaned by a true positive test is not definitive.]

Researchers studying the H1N1 pandemic found that obesity led to decreased respiratory function, difficulties with ventilation, and increased inflammatory cytokines that contributed to death. The H1N1 influenza experience should serve as a caution for the care of COVID patients with obesity, and particularly patients with severe obesity,” the authors point out adding that the prevalence of obesity in the U.S. has been on the rise.

Why have so many coronavirus patients died in Italy?

And 40 percent of infections and 87% of deaths were in patients older than 70. According to the article another confounding factor is, “The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus. “On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” Prof Ricciardi says.

As we have posted for weeks many doctors are having great success in the US and around the world using hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 patients. This study appears to be a direct attempt to discredit hydroxychloroquine. This is not a legitimate study in that it was merely a review of patient files, has not been published, was not peer reviewed, was not placebo controlled, and the severely ill patients were put in the two hydroxychloroquine groups and the healthy, less symptomatic patients put in the group not given hydroxychloroquine.

The title of this article seem intentionally misleading since they only measured high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease.

We have repeatedly listed the specific classes of medications that increase mortality especially in the elderly along with the alternative meds that works as well but without the increased risk of death.

Surgery? One Type of Anesthesia Is Preferable During COVID-19 Outbreak
https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-04-22/surgery-one-type-of-anesthesia-is-preferable-during-covid-19-outbreak
[KC's Comment: Local/regional anesthesia during surgery is far safer than general anesthesia in multiple ways. First of all surgeries using local/regional anesthesia have fewer complications than surgeries using general anesthesia. So it is safer. Secondly, local/regional anesthesia is safer for the surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists because removing the breathing tube at the end of the surgery increases the aerosol spray of virus by 6.6 times. This is an interesting perspective because even without a pandemic local/general anesthesia is safer so why not insist on it for yourself and your loved ones.]

Boy with Covid-19 did not transmit disease to more than 170 contacts.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/21/boy-with-covid-19-did-not-transmit-disease-to-more-than-170-contacts
[KC’s Comment: DO THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID? It is shocking how little the “experts” know about COVID-19. Reading this story after reading hundreds of studies, articles and reports over the last few weeks starts to reveal patterns.
Here is an excerpt from this story that is baffling experts. “Most of the chalet guests contracted the virus, but an investigation by Public Health France found that the nine-year-old did not pass it on to either of his siblings nor anyone else, despite coming into contact with 172 people, all of whom were quarantined as a precaution, and having lessons at three separate ski schools. A report on the investigation published in Clinical Infectious Diseases describes how tests revealed the boy to be infected with Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, and also influenza and a common cold virus. While both of his siblings caught the latter infections, neither picked up the coronavirus.
“One child, co-infected with other respiratory viruses, attended three schools while symptomatic, but did not transmit the virus, suggesting potential different transmission dynamics in children,” Kostas Danis, an epidemiologist at Public Health France told the French news agency AFP.
Take another look at this sentence, “ A report on the investigation published in Clinical Infectious Diseases describes how tests revealed the boy to be infected with Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, and also influenza and a common cold virus.” It says tests revealed the boy to be INFECTED WITH SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID19 AND ALSO INFLUENZA AND A COMMON COLD.
The article goes in to say, “The boy had only mild symptoms and when tested was found to have levels of virus that were barely detectable. The low level of infection is thought to explain why he did not infect other people.”
I strongly suspect that the PCR test is at the root of this non story. It probably went something like this. The little boy was exposed but like virtually all healthy children did not contract COVID-19 but since he had minor sniffles and was exposed was judged to be “mildly” symptomatic then tested using PCR, the test that is not even a test, and increasing the number of sample amplifications until they were able to determine he had traces of of SARS-Cov-2 virus (remember this is the virus that causes COVID19 AND cold or flu. In other words the kids immune system was handling traces of cold or flu but since he was exposed and had traces of the virus that COULD be COVID-19 or COULD be the cold or COULD be the flu he was automatically diagnosed as asymptomatic COVID-19. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SCIENCE? Casts great suspicion on the idea of asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19.
THE KID DID NOT GET SICK BECAUSE HEALTHY KIDS DON’T GET SICK WITH COVID-19.]
Antibody testing results: COVID-19 infections exceed confirmed cases
https://news.usc.edu/168987/antibody-testing-results-covid-19-infections-los-angeles-county/
[KC’s Comments: Antibody testing shows up to 50 times more people have been infected than previously believed which also show the death rate is far lower than previously believed. It is troubling that PCR testing remains the standard. As I have been posting the PCR test is not even a diagnostic test and provides little useful information yet a positive result is used as a fact to determine public health policy.
Here is an expert from the article which demonstrates we have not come very far in our understanding of this virus. “These findings underscore the importance of expanded polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing to diagnose those with infection so they can be isolated and quarantined while also maintaining the broad social distancing interventions. The antibody test is helpful for identifying past infection, but a PCR test is required to diagnose a current infection.”]

Researchers use live virus to identify 30 existing drugs that could treat COVID-19 | SBP

[KC’s Comment: This is an important research tool to be able to scan this enormous drug database to identify potential existing drugs to treat COVID-19. Researchers are once again relying on the PCR test to identify COVID-19. PCH is a research tool so perhaps this is a more legitimate use of it? Interestingly Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were identified in this project as two of the 27 potential drugs to treat COVID19.
New drugs emerge as promising candidates for COVID-19 treatment
Highlights of the scientists’ discoveries follow. Each drug or experimental compound requires further evaluation in clinical trials to prove its effectiveness in treating people with COVID-19 before it can be used broadly.
27 drugs that are not currently under evaluation for COVID-19 were effective at halting viral replication. 17 of these drugs have an extensive record of human safety from clinical studies in non-COVID-19 diseases, including four—clofazimine, acitretin, tretinoin and astemizole—that were previously approved by the FDA for other indications.
Thus far, six of the 17 were shown to be effective at concentrations, or doses, likely to be effective and tolerable in humans. Four of these six drugs—apilimod, MLN-3897, VBY-825 and ONO 5334—have been tested clinically for diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, osteoporosis and cancer.
In addition to the 27 drug candidates, three drugs currently in clinical trials for COVID-19, including remdesivir and chloroquine derivatives, were also shown to be effective at stopping the growth of SARS-CoV-2. These results reaffirm their promise as potential COVID-19 treatments and support the continuation of ongoing clinical trials to prove their effectiveness in patients.]
Novartis backs hydroxychloroquine trial in COVID-19 fight
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-04-novartis-hydroxychloroquine-trial-covid-.html
[KC’s Comment: There should have already been many trials of Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. My greatest concern is this study does not add zinc to the mix like the NY doctors used in their successful treatment of 700 COVID-19 patients in a row. Hydroxychloroquine drives zinc into the cells which turns off viral replication and since most people are deficient in zinc it needs to be added. The reality is that Hydroxychloroquine was demonstrated to be effective against SARs Coronavirus in 2015 but was not studied since.
A MUST READ Corona: creating the illusion of a pandemic through diagnostic tests
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/04/08/corona-creating-illusion-of-pandemic-through-diagnostic-test/
[KC’s Comments: I have been posting that the standard “diagnostic” test for COVID-19 is not a “diagnostic” test at all but a research tool which is evidenced by the quote from the manufacturer of the PCR kits, “Regulatory status: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.” Adding insult to injury PCR works by amplifying a sample multiples of times to eventually find evidence of RNA material from a virus and there is no standard protocol using a set number of amplifications yielding wildly different results from test to test. Evidence of the presence of RNA material from COVID-19 does not suggest in any way the person is infected, does not measure a viral load nor does it differentiate from other Coronaviruses including SARs. This is a big deal because many lives will be disrupted by positives and false positives and national and global health policy will be based in these numbers.]

My Conversation With State Senator And Doctor Who Exposes Medicare Payouts For COVID-19 Patients
https://www.naturalblaze.com/2020/04/my-conversation-with-state-senator-and-doctor-who-exposes-medicare-payouts-for-covid-19-patients.html
[KC’s Comment: Yet another post reiterating that our government is incentivizing doctors and hospitals to make a COVID-19 diagnosis. In another post today you see that the CDC is directing doctors to write COVID-19 as cause of death even if the doctor merely COVID-19 was present regardless of actual cause of death. AND THE GOVERNMENT IS PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO BOTH DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS SIMPLY TO DIAGNOSE AS COVID-19 AND TO PUT THEM ON A VENTILATOR AT LEAST FOR A BRIEF TIME.
“Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000; three times as much. Nobody can tell me, after 35 years in the world of medicine, that sometimes those kinds of things [don’t] [have] impact on what we do…”, said Minnesota State Senator, Dr. Scott Jensen....“In response, Jensen said the CDC’s death certificate manual tells physicians to focus on ‘precision and specificity,’ but the coronavirus death certification guidance runs completely counter to that axiom.”]

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/04/the_cdc_confesses_to_lying_about_covid19_death_numbers.html#ixzz6JWT91lYE
[KC’s Comment: I have now seen multiple credible doctors say this is true. The CDC has issued a guidance to doctors that write the cause of death on US death certificates as COVID-19 regardless of actual cause of death if a patient had even suspected COVID-19. This means if a doctor suspects a cardiac patient had COVID-19 and that patient dies of a heart attack then cause of death on death certificate would be listed as COVID-19. THIS LIKELY MEANS THAT COVID19 DEATHS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLATED BASED ON FALSE INFORMATION. Here is a very credible doctor telling a similar story. Montana physician Dr. Annie Bukacek discusses how COVID 19 death certificates are inflated.

Test for antibodies against novel coronavirus developed at Stanford Medicine
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/04/stanford-medicine-develops-antibody-test-for-coronavirus.html
[KC’s Comment: This is another tool developed by researchers at Stanford University to test the blood for two types COVID-19 antibodies (IgM antibodies, which are made early in an immune response and whose levels usually quickly wane, and IgG antibodies, whose levels rise more slowly after infection but usually persist longer).
“There’s limited data out of China and Europe showing that this appears to be the response pattern followed with this virus,” Montine said. “But no one has had this long enough to know how long after infection the antibodies persist.” Test results will be reported in two parts: Positive or negative for IgM antibodies, and also positive or negative for IgG antibodies.”
Over time serological testing can answer questions that cannot be addressed with the current COVID-19 diagnostic test, which uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods to detect viral genetic material. IMPORTANT: The inventor of the current PCR test has said that the current PCR test that is currently the standard is declaring people either Positive or Negative for COVID-19 IS NOT A TEST BUT A LABORATORY RESEARCH TOOL THAT AMPLIFIES GENETIC MATERIAL. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO STANDARD FOR AMPLIFICATION AND THIS THE SAME PATIENT CAN BE DECLARED BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE DEPENDING ON THE AMPLIFICATION. This is the same problem with HIV testing.]

People in decision-making positions in the State governments of all 50 States and all US Territories and Other Countries, they need to know this information and give permission to the doctors in their States to use this therapeutic approach. If we wait for more "studies" to be done, additional human lives will likely be lost unnecessarily.
Integrative medical doctors across the USA commonly use 10,000 mg to 25,000 mg of vitamin C (as sodium ascorbate or as ascorbic acid combined with a small amount of sodium bicarbonate for buffering) per each IV infusion to their patients with no reported deaths from this therapy. The dose of intravenous vitamin C recommended in the Chest Journal were MUCH lower than that but still fairly effective.
We have been posting from the beginning on the power of Vitamin C to calm the cytokine storm, acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS, and heal COVID-19 patients. The use of IV Vitamin C, corticosteroids and anti-coagulants such as Heparin was successfully used by the Chinese, Japanese, South Korean and Italian doctors.

Two days ago, during an interview on a national TV show, I was asked this same question and gave the same answer as this researcher gave. Vitamin D modulates immunity. Darker skinned people require far more sunlight to manufacture vitamin D and thus must get it from their diet and supplementation. Sadly, these populations rarely receive this advice resulting in insufficient and even dangerously deficient levels of Vitamin D. In the winter the problem is exacerbated due to cold weather and less sunshine. There are many other excellent points made in this article. This is well worth the read.]

Former CDC Chief Dr. Tom Frieden: Coronavirus infection risk may be reduced by Vitamin D
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/former-cdc-chief-tom-frieden-coronavirus-risk-may-be-reduced-with-vitamin-d
[KC’s Comment: As you will see in the following quote by former CDC head Dr. Tom Frieden Vitamin D can cut risk of infection and help modulate the cytokine storm: He also unwittingly made some additional important points well worth noting.
Dr. Frieden wrote, “Coronavirus infection risk may be reduced by vitamin D.” And “There are many crackpot claims about miracle cures floating around, but the science supports the possibility — although not the proof — that Vitamin D may strengthen the immune system, particularly of people whose Vitamin D levels are low. Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection, regulates cytokine production and can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza. A respiratory infection can result in cytokine storms — a vicious cycle in which our inflammatory cells damage organs throughout the body — which increase mortality for those with COVID-19. Adequate vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations …. Right now, we don’t know if vitamin D deficiency plays any role in the severity of COVID-19. But given the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in this country, it is safe to recommend that people get the proper daily dosage of vitamin D. Most people’s bodies manufacture vitamin D in the skin when exposed to the sun. About 15 minutes a day of direct sunlight is sufficient for many people’s bodies to manufacture enough vitamin D; people with darker skin need longer exposure to sunlight to manufacture the same amount. In winter, people in northern latitudes may not be able to make any vitamin D from sunlight. Sunscreen lengthens the exposure time needed. Many people, then, need vitamin D supplementation.”
Some important points made by Dr. Frieden are:
-Most people are deficient in Vitamin D.
It is critical to point out that conventional medicine views <40ng/ml as optimal levels and yet still recognize that most are deficient. Vitamin D council, based on many studies, recommends <60ng/ml as optimal. Therefore those who are deficient on the outdated recommendation of <40mg/ml are actually DANGEROUSLY deficient based on the new standard.
-Incorrectly stated that 15 mins of sunshine was sufficient when depending on time of day and year can be 30-1hr.
-He correctly stated that sunscreen prolongs required time in the sun for vitamin D perhaps a lot.
-Another good point was darker skin people require longer in the sun.]

[KC’s Comment: It is dangerous to simply accept the official position. There has been an enormous amount of daily speculation that has been accepted as fact. Here are one dozen of the top infectious disease experts in the world challenging the severity of the disease and the official approach to dealing with it.]
Here is a quote from one of the twelve.
“The best alternative will probably entail letting those at low risk for serious disease continue to work, keep business and manufacturing operating, and “run” society, while at the same time advising higher-risk individuals to protect themselves through physical distancing and ramping up our health-care capacity as aggressively as possible. With this battle plan, we could gradually build up immunity without destroying the financial structure on which our lives are based. Michael T.

Dr. Lee Cowden reminded me of specific herbs that had success against SARS (also a Coronavirus). His top two herbal recommendations if infected were Andrographis AND Takuna. We have listed a few other from the attached article.]
Gingko Biloba
Andrographis (Andrographis peniculata; green chiretta). It is used to treat toxic heat syndromes, with the effect of alleviating fever, cough, and sore throat. Was used successfully against SARs (which is also an RNA virus).
Takuna (Cecropia strigose bark extract - Nutramedix brand) is an extract from the Cecropia strigosa tree in South America, and may have microbial defense properties.*
Tremella (Tremella fuciformis; white fungus; silver ear). It is used to nourish the yin, tonify the lung, eliminate sputum, relieve cough, and calm the mind
Ginseng (Panax ginseng). It is used to tonify the qi, improve digestion, strengthen the lungs, alleviate coughing, and calm the mind. Substitutes include codonopsis (C. pilosula) and pseudostellaria (P. heterophylla)
Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium). It is used to dispel wind-heat, applied in early stage of febrile diseases. Some people prefer to use wild chrysanthemum (C. indicum), which has a smaller white flower.

[KC’s Comment: Here our friend Mike Adams writes about how zinc just might be the answer to COVID-19. As you know from our posts from the beginning that being properly nutrified is critical to prevention and healing. We have also been pointing out that zinc is a well-known antiviral and has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of Cold & Flu. We have also posted that Chloroquine and HydroxyChloroquine are carriers of zinc ions across the cell walls where it can do its job. Another of the small studies in NY with 100% success against COVID-19 using a combination of HydroxyChloroquine, Z-Pac and zinc sulfate. Interestingly, selenium naturally acts somewhat like HydroxyChloroquine in ushering zinc into the cell.

As we have said from the beginning of this crisis and decades prior. The first step in preventing and treating disease is getting fully nutrified.

Viruses enter the cell and hijack the cells replication center using it to replicate itself. During this process the virus tends to mutate to protect itself from your immune system.

A Scientific Look at Botanical Plants and Supplements Against Coronavirus | Worldhealth.net Anti-Aging News
https://www.worldhealth.net/news/scientific-look-botanical-plants-and-supplements-against-coronavirus/
[KC’s comment: MUST READ!!! This is an important article regarding natural strategies and compounds to prevent and treat coronavirus. We have been reporting on the vast majority of the suggestions in this article. The following few points, which we have said since the beginning are critical to understand and should be known by all doctors. Unfortunately, they are not. Here are just a couple examples:
The flu shot is barely effective against the FLU and 0% effective against COVID-19. The flu shot also makes vaccinated people more susceptible to other infections than their unvaccinated counterparts. An actual clinical trial, was conducted by the University of Hong Kong in 2012. The double blind randomized controlled trial followed a group of flu-vaccinated versus placebo-vaccinated children between 6 and 15 years of age over the course of nine months to determine infection rates from 19 other respiratory viruses. The study found "no statistically significant difference in the risk of confirmed seasonal influenza infection between recipients of the [influenza vaccine] or placebo." However, it was the dramatic number of incidences of non-influenza infections found in the flu-vaccinated group (105 cases), which included coronavirus, as opposed to 54 cases among those who received a placebo. In other words, the results suggest that receiving the flu shot may increase one's risk of contracting another infectious virus by almost 100 percent.
It may be partially conjecture on our part to suggest that natural supplements and botanical remedies that have been shown in the scientific literature to be effective against influenza may more or less effective against coronavirus. However, last month a study was released by Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University in the Journal of Medical Virology recommending that patients' nutritional status should be evaluated before any conventional treatment. The hospital recommended a regimen that included Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, Omega-3, Selenium, Zinc, gammaglobulin A administered intravenously and through Chinese traditional medicine.]

These meds have well known and manageable side effects. As reported today by my friend and colleague Del Bigtree. One of the worlds top biologist and infectious disease specialist and arguably the worlds top vaccine researchers, Professor Didier Raoult
“Actually, from all respiratory infections it’s (COVID-19) probably the easiest to treat. So there is really no reason to get excited anymore. There is really no reason to get excited and rush to produce a vaccine...” -Prof. Didier Raoult]

[KC’s comment: In this video Dr. Bruce Lipton reiterates what we have said from the beginning of our reporting on COVID-19. Experimental vaccines and medicines have injured and killed more people in recently declared “pandemics” than the diseases themselves. Health insurance companies have DENIED coverage for these vaccine injuries and the taxpayers have paid the bills.]
(Added 3/21/20)
[KC's comment: As you will see from the links below a lot of effort is being placed on finding a cure for coronavirus by looking at previously used drugs because of the timing. New drugs for treatment and prevention can be more dangerous that what they are meant to treat especially if they were rushed to market. Drugs that have been on the market for many years are still potentially dangerous but the dangers are better known as we can get an idea of their side effects. When they use drugs in combination the dangers increase.]

Will warm weather kill new coronavirus? Scientists not sure - Nikkei Asian Review
https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/Will-warm-weather-kill-new-coronavirus-Scientists-not-sure
[KC's comment: Using heat to neutralize viruses is as old as fever itself. Heat is part of the prevention and healing puzzle for CORVID19. Hot temperatures can neutralize most viruses, usually at least 133 degrees. Many believe that the Coronavirus, just as cold and flu, will begin to wain as temperatures begin to rise in the Spring and Summer. Other important reasons viruses wain in warmer weather is that heat is known to directly increase immunity. Additionally more sunlight equals higher Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D modulates the immune system.]

Video: Using hairdryer to neutralize viruses.
https://youtu.be/xyCPljDsG2E
[KC's Comment: A very credible doctor sent me a video on using a common hair dryer to prevent and treat the Coronavirus. To clarify, this technique is of little value once a virus has spread to the body. This is consistent with many other articles on treating viruses with heat but that video was attacked by snopes and has subsequently been censored by YouTube. It is clear from multiple other articles I have published that using heat to destroy viruses is a legitimate concept. Here is the hairdryer video again we will see how long it will remain online. If you do not have access to a sauna then show this to your doctor to ask determine if it is worth a try. Note: I have not found snopes to be reliable in evaluating non traditional healing modalities.]
DRUGS INCREASE RISK FOR SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) INFECTION
http://www.simonesuperenergy.com/drugs-increase-risk-for-sars-cov-2-covid-19-infection/
[KC’s Comment: I spoke with Dr. Charles Simone a few minutes ago and he has an URGENT MESSAGE FOR SENIORS AND THEIR DOCTORS (Dr. Charles B. Simone, M.MS., M.D. is an Internist(Cleveland Clinic 1975-77), Medical Oncologist (National Cancer Institute 1977-82), Tumor Immunologist(NCI 1977-82), and Radiation Oncologist (University of Pennsylvania 1982-85), and is the Founder of the Simone Protective Cancer Institute (1980)) Dr. Simone said this information is URGENT, he said the reason so many old people are dying from COVID19 is because they are taken very common drugs that increase the risk of dying from the Coronavirus. ACE inhibitors, ARBs, IBUPROFEN, THIAZOLIDINEDIONES AND DIABETES MAY CONFER HIGHER RISK FOR SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) He said This fact is so sad because there are pharmaceutical alternatives that DO NOT increase the risk of dying.]

Successful High-Dose Vitamin C Treatment of Patients with Serious and Critical COVID-19 Infection
http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n18.shtml
[KC's comment: Vitamin C is a key part of my original recommendation. In this report a study was performed by a Chinese doctor named Dr. Mao. Dr. Mao treated 50 patients of moderate to severe COVID-19 infection with high dose IV Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) IVC. The IVC dosing was in the range of 10,000 mg - 20,000 mg a day for 7-10 days, with 10,000 mg for moderate cases and 20,000 for more severe cases, determined by pulmonary status (mostly the oxygenation index) and coagulation status. All patients who received IVC improved and there was no mortality.]

White House Coronavirus Update
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU-l2Pek4tg
[KC's Comment: This briefing from President Donald Trump and his coronavirus taskforce validates some of the resource links we posted previously. The President speaks at the 14:53 mark and Dr. Steve Hahn from the FDA speaks at the 27:15 mark about potentially promising results from the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine (see links from 3/17) and potentially even more promising is that infected patients can receive purified blood from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 and enhance their own immunity (see link from 3/18). It is exciting to hear how public and private agencies are teaming up to search for answers.]

https://www.drugs.com/sfx/hydroxychloroquine-side-effects.html
[KC's comment: There is a long history of use for these drugs for viral diseases and other pathogens like malaria. They have been shown in limited cases to help treat and prevent coronavirus and are now being studied on a larger scale by the FDA. The side effects are known and thus can be better anticipated and managed.]
China shuts all 16 temporary coronavirus hospitals in Wuhan

https://yp.scmp.com/news/science/article/115795/coronavirus-first-autopsy-covid-19-patient-highlights-how-illness
[KC's comment: The number of confirmed cases is continually highlighted on the news but they rarely if ever talk about the ones who have already recovered. Many have recovered and the vast majority are on their way to recovering. The ability to treat is growing by the day.]

[KC's comment: It's great that scientific understanding is growing. However, I believe based on the history of previous pandemics, there is a tremendous risk of vaccines when they are rushed to market with inadequate testing.]
Injecting Blood from Recovered Coronavirus Patients Into Newly Infected Could Slow Spread of Disease
https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-blood-inject-slow-disease-1492477
[KC's comment: It is fascinating to see how science is being applied to find a solution. I am not sure it has been determined people who have had coronavirus won't get it again so it remains to be seen if this concept is viable.]
