INTRODUCTION

The virus is actually called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), formerly known as the 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019nCoV). The virus causes the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Covid-19 is used interchangeably by the media and government agencies for both the virus and the disease it causes. It’s related to the SARS-CoV virus that caused severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002-2003, as well as MERS-Cov (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). They are a part of the Betacoronavirus genus, which are characterized by a viral envelop and positive-strand RNA. What does that mean?

Structure: The virus is round, and its internal contents are surrounded by an envelop. the spiky protrusions sticking out from that envelop are actually proteins. This inspired the name of this type of virus, as these proteins make the virus look like a crown.

These proteins include:
(1) clusters of the Spike, or (S) proteins, latch onto a specific protein on the target cell (receptor molecule), and also help the virus fuse to the target cell membrane and become internalized by the target cell;
(2) the Membrane (M) glycoproteins are under the spikes, where they help maintain the shape of viral particles and bind to the inner layers of the virus;
(3) Lipid (fat) is taken from host cell membranes during previous infections and incorporated into the viral particle;
(4) Envelope (E) glycoproteins help assemble new viral particles and help with release and infectious properties of newly-formed viruses;
(5) Nucleocapsid (N) proteins that bind and package the RNA genome also help the virus hide from the host immune system.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) belong to the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family of Coronaviridae in the order Nidovirales, and this subfamily including α‐coronavirus, β‐coronavirus, γ‐coronavirus, and delta‐coronavirus. Coronaviruses primarily cause enzootic infections in birds and mammals and, in the last decades, have shown to be capable of infecting humans as well [https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985‐019‐1182‐0].

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012 has demonstrated the lethality of coronaviruses when they cross the species barrier and infect humans [https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985‐019‐1182‐0]. SARS‐CoV and MERS‐CoV all belong to the β‐coronavirus family [https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140‐6736(15)].

Recently, a novel flu‐like coronavirus (COVID‐19) related to the MERS and SARS coronaviruses was found at the end of 2019 in China [https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2001017] and the evidence of human‐to‐human transmission was confirmed among close contacts [https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316].

The genome of COVID‐19 is a single‐stranded positive‐sense RNA [https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.25681]. The sequence analysis showed that the COVID‐19 possessed a typical genome structure of coronavirus and belonged to the cluster of β‐coronaviruses including SARS‐CoV and MERS‐CoV [https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.25681].

COVID‐19 was more than 82% identical to those of SARS‐CoV [https://doi.org/10.1080/22221751.2020.1719902]. COVID‐19 may spread worldwide with the pandemic. Currently, there is no “registered” treatment or vaccine for the disease. This is why we need to practice a non toxic lifestyle and boost our own immunities up with sunlight, proper hydration, exercise, nutrition, supplements and staying grounded.

HOW IS THE CORONAVIRUS TRANSMITTED?

  • The most obvious way is electromagnetically via the planets electrical magnetic grid
  • The second most obvious way is by vaccination, setting up pre-disposition to cytokine storms
  • The third lesser known method is by sprayed aerosol (indicating purposeful infection)

    Speculated – UNproven:
  • Coronavirus can possibly be transmitted from respiratory droplets (unproven)
  • Coronavirus can be transferred through the fecal-oral route (unproven)
  • The CoronaVirus (COVID-19) can shed for up to 14 days AFTER the patient is no longer symptomatic. (unproven)
  • Reinfection can occur and cases of reinfection have been observed in China
  • Coronavirus can stay on surfaces for a few hours to a few days

 

HYGIENE TIPS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS

It is important to keep in mind that one of the best forms of prevention is avoidance and mindful hygiene!

  1. Protect your electromagnetic strength and signiture (character / belief)
  2. Shield yourself from direct Wifi and EMF exposure
  3. Protect your general levels of health (corona virus affects those with prior conditions)

    Speculated – UNproven:
  4. WASH YOUR HANDS. 20-30 seconds at a time. Many times per day!
  5. Clean your phones and credit cards
  6. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  7. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  8. Stay home if you are sick, except to receive medical care.
  9. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
  10. If you used a tissue to cover, immediately throw it away and wash your hands.
  11. Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces you touch.
R0 – GAUGING CONTAGIOUS INFECTIONS
COVID-19 is more contagious than the common flu, but not that much more contagious.
The ‘R naught’ (RO) is an estimate for how many other people one sick person is likely to infect. The RO for the common flu is 1.3 meaning one person can spread it 1.3 others.
The RO for COVID-19 is 2-3.11 meaning one infected person can spread it to 2-3.1 others.
For comparison, the RO for measles is 11-18. COVID-19 is more contagious than the common flu but much less contagious than measles.

This should limit how long the illness lasts. Especially if people practise social distancing.

HOW LONG DOES CORONAVIRUS STAY “ACTIVE” ON SURFACES

Tiny, infected water droplets that drift in the air or land on surfaces have multiplied into a global pandemic.  Typically, an infected person’s cough or sneeze spreads SARS-CoV-2 – the coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19, a highly contagious respiratory illness.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, here’s how long the virus could live on a variety of surfaces. The report also noted the half-life, or rate of decay, of the virus on various materials. That’s the time it took for half of the virus sample to die.The decay rate is important because though the virus may linger on surfaces for days, people are less likely to become infected as the virus dies.

 

Most infections start with water droplets, tiny globes of water 5 microns or less in size. That’s much smaller than a human hair, which is 60 to 120 microns thick.

In all settings, viruses need water to survive. “Viruses can withstand a small amount of dehydration,” says Dr. Paul Meechan, a former director of safety at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and president of the American Biological Safety Association.

The problem is knowing “how long it will take a virus to dry out and become noninfectious,” Dr. Meechan says. “Eventually, the virus deteriorates and becomes inactive.” The speed at which that happens depends on whether the virus is in the air or on a surface.

Let’s start with air. Researchers don’t know how many virus-laden particles people infected with COVID-19 expel in the average droplet. An average cough, however, can produce as many as 3,000 droplets and a single sneeze can make up to 40,000, according to multiple studies cited in a 2009 World Health Organization report.

A droplet’s size determines where it goes after being expelled. Gravity forces larger ones to the ground.

“Aerosols are different,” says Dr. Stanley Deresinski, clinical professor of medicine and infectious diseases at Stanford University. “Very small particles may be suspended in the air for a long time, sometimes for hours. They’re suspended by air currents.”

Airborne droplets can stay suspended long enough for someone to walk through and inhale the virus. Outdoors, wind disperses the virus.

A virus that doesn’t reach the ground or floor can fall on shared surfaces – or be transferred there by those with the pathogen on their hands. Whatever the case, unsuspecting people can pick it up. How long a virus lives depends on the surface it’s on:

How long coronavirus lives on steel

The coronavirus can exist on stainless steel objects for two to three days. That’s a problem because steel is commonly used in public transportation and in scores of other public places such as restroom stalls, faucets, and manual paper towel handles.

How long coronavirus lives on plastic

 

Plastic objects can harbor the virus for two to three days. That’s a special concern because many shared items are made of plastic and may not be sanitized often enough or completely enough. Take out food containers, light switches, cellphone cases, elevator buttons and more are commonly made of plastics.

How long coronavirus lives on cardboard

 

The virus can last on cardboard for up to 24 hours. That’s noteworthy because many customers are using online delivery services during the coronavirus outbreak instead of going to stores in person. Food products packaged in cardboard could also be a risk.

How long coronavirus lives on glass

A virus can last as long as four days on glass, depending on location and temperature, according to a separate study by the Journal of Hospital Infection published in January. That report charted the persistence of the SARS-CoV virus, which is similar to the current virus causing COVID-19. Items such as cellphone screens, mirrors and inside glass doors can also support the virus.

How long coronavirus lives on copper

 

The coronavirus lasted about four hours on copper, a finding consistent with historical use.

“Copper has been used for years,” says Dr. Meechan. “Copper ions have been used as disinfectants, they’re an effective virucide. It’s one of the reasons why old door knobs were made of brass.”

Hospitals are increasing copper use in patient settings, including rails on hospital beds and other shared items.

This is how the reports calculate the survival rate of viruses, in hours, on non-disinfected surfaces:

 

Cleaning these materials

The CDC defines cleaning as the removal of germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces. Disinfecting involves the use of chemicals to kill pathogens on surfaces. The agency says surfaces should be cleaned using disposable gloves, then disinfected to lower infection risk.

 

The  Environmental Protection Agency has a list of disinfectant products that meet their criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS?

The sequence of symptoms have been reported as a cough, followed by shortness of breath that increasingly gets worse over the next 3-7 days. It is also accompanied by fever much higher than you would see with the flu and can range as high 102 to 104. Symptoms can include body aches and pains like influenza, however some who have tested positive for the virus have reported having no symptoms at all. An individuals symptoms and timeline will vary depending on their state of health.

The symptoms of Coronavirus are similar to the symptoms of the Flu Virus:

  • Coronavirus: cough, shortness of breath and fever.
  • Influenza (Flu): fatigue, muscle aches and fever
  • TRY the 10 seconds breath hold technique and see if you can hold your breath deeply without coughing this is a good indication you’re not infected with it

 

Electromagntic Phenomenon gives rise to this last indication of Corona:

CORONAVIRUS HIJACKS YOUR CELLS

The SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus that causes Covid-19 is just on of at least another five other types of coronavirus known to infect humans. Some causing the common cold and two causing outbreaks: SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The coronavirus is named after the crownlike spikes that protrude from its surface. The virus is enveloped in a bubble of oily lipid molecules, which falls apart on contact with soap.

All viruses are intracellular parasites [http://www.virology.ws/2004/07/28/what-is-a-virus/]. Their only mission in life, if you can call it that, is to use the mechanisms of human cells to make copies of themselves. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes. The tricky task for the Corona Virus is  finding it’s way into the cells where they can replicate. The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, isn’t particularly good at that. Research so far suggests that it sneaks in through a single cellular airway door: a membrane protein called ACE2 [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30251-8/fulltext].

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 Receptors (ACE2 receptors for short) are a part of the sympathetic nervous system. Their job is to bind to a hormone (conveniently called the ACE2 hormone) as part of the body’s stress response. The ACE2 hormone plays a role in constricting blood vessels, which raises blood pressure. The virus that causes Covid-19 can latch onto the ACE2 receptor undetected—likely because of its animal origins.

The adaptive immune system—the part that creates antibodies that help identify pathogens quickly—hasn’t had a chance to learn what SARS-CoV-2 looks like yet. This means the virus can use a molecular phishing scam to sneak into the cell. Kind of like a backdoor.

The virus is believed to have originated in bats, where it may have attached to a similar protein. The virus infects the cell by fusing its oily membrane with the membrane of the cell. Once inside, the coronavirus releases a snippet of genetic material called RNA. The virus’s genome is less than 30,000 genetic “letters” long. (Ours is over 3 billion.) The infected cell reads the RNA and begins making proteins that will keep the immune system at bay and help assemble new copies of the virus. Antibiotics kill bacteria and do not work against viruses. But researchers are testing antiviral drugs that might disrupt viral proteins and stop the virus from entering the cell.

As the infection progresses, the machinery of the cell begins to churn out new spikes and other proteins that will form more copies of the coronavirus.

New copies of the virus are assembled and carried to the outer edges of the cell.  Once it does, the cell is doomed: SARS-CoV-2 takes control of the cell’s genetic reproduction tools, relentlessly replicates itself, and bursts through the cell wall—the microbial equivalent of blowing up a building and not looking back. Each infected cell can release millions of copies of the virus before the cell finally breaks down and dies. The viruses may infect nearby cells, or end up in droplets that escape the lungs.

“If we think of the human body as a house and 2019-nCoV [another name for SARS-CoV-2] as a robber, then ACE2 would be the doorknob of the house’s door. Once the S-protein grabs it, the virus can enter the house,” Liang Tao, a researcher at Westlake University who was not involved in the new study, said in a statement [https://en.westlake.edu.cn/news_events/westlakenews/202002/t20200225_3069.shtml].

People with diabetes or high blood pressure—who are typically older adults—often take a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors. These drugs limit the constriction of blood vessels and, in doing so, make ACE2 receptors more prevalent throughout the body. Some scientists hypothesize that this is why people with these conditions have much more severe cases of Covid-19. More on this later.

“The ACE2 receptor is found pretty abundantly through a lot of our organs,” says Panagis Galiatsatos, a pulmonologist at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. They’re on cells on the tongue, and along our esophagus. They’re on cells in the kidneys and heart, and the end of our gastrointestinal tract—which is why stomach symptoms, like loss of appetite and diarrhea have been observed.

Most worryingly, ACE2 receptors appear on cells in the most delicate part of the lungs: the alveoli. They’re responsible for the vital gas exchange of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.

Damage to these cells is what causes some of the most common symptoms of the virus, like shortness of breath.Coughing is a result of the lungs trying to expel the infection.

There is also research showing how the frequencies of 5th Generation (5G) Cell Phone Towers reaches the frequency band of 60 GHz, the ability for a person’s blood hemoglobin to bind with oxygen will be damaged. Same with iodine. I wonder why the areas that have 5G rolled out and implemented have the highest cases. Even that cruise ship, The Diamond Princess ,with all the corona virus infected guests had just installed WiGig which is a 60GHz 5G new wifi that’s being glamorized by the tech industry.

The body isn’t completely defenseless against this novel infection: Even without the initial help of the adaptive immune system, the body’s innate immune system kicks in within hours of a novel infection. Cells that are infected send out distress signals that alert others to the viral invader. The innate immune system can start to contain the virus by eliminating infected cells, telling the adaptive immune system to kick into gear, and even creating fevers to try to cook it off.

That immune response may also play a role in the mild nature of most infections. “Everyone is at risk,” of getting Covid-19, says Erin Sorrell, a microbiologist at Georgetown University who studies emerging infectious diseases. People who are younger may have a better innate immune response that prevents them from getting sick, or a balanced innate and adaptive response that helps them get rid of symptoms quickly.

That, combined with the pathway taken by SARS-CoV-2, helps explain why the Covid-19 pandemic looks so different from two other diseases caused by coronaviruses: SARS and MERS. These viruses bind to more cellular receptors, Galiatsatos explains, and can replicate more quickly. Severe symptoms appear that much faster. Even though 9.6% of people with SARS and 34.4% of people with MERS died, the viruses made people so sick so quickly that they couldn’t spread as easily to others.

Most Covid-19 infections cause a fever as the immune system fights to clear the virus. In severe cases, the immune system can overreact and start attacking lung cells. The lungs become obstructed with fluid and dying cells, making it difficult to breathe. A small percentage of infections can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, and possibly death.

Early research has also shown that people who are asymptomatic can shed enough virus to be infectious, Sorrell explains. So while the death rate of Covid-19 seems to be much lower than SARS and MERS—scientists are still calculating it, but it seems to be between 1% and 4% depending on the care available—Covid-19 spreads much faster between people because they don’t know they’re shedding it. Even if the death rate is 3% in the US, for example, across the entire population that would lead to over 10 million deaths, about the population of North Carolina or Greece.

This is where the real danger in Covid-19 lies, and why there’s been so much emphasis on social distancing. The virus can only survive if it continues to find new hosts. By staying isolated while feeling well for 14 days, you’re eliminating the chance that you could pass on the virus to someone else. The minute you go outside again and someone else passes the virus onto you, “you reset the clock,” says Galiatsato

CYTOKINE STORM

Coronaviruses and influenza are among the pandemic viruses that can cause lethal lung injuries and death from ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). Viral infections cause a “cytokine storm” that can activate lung capillary endothelial cells leading to neutrophil infiltration and increased oxidative stress (reactive oxygen and nitrogen species) that further damages lung barrier function. ARDS, which is characterized by severe hypoxemia, is usually accompanied by uncontrolled inflammation, oxidative injury, and the damage to the alveolar-capillary barrier. The increased oxidative stress is a major insult in pulmonary injury.

The key pathogenesis is the acute lung injury causing ARDS and death. Corona viruses, influenza viruses and many other pandemic viral infections are usually associated with an increased oxidative stress leading to oxidative cellular damage resulting in multi-organ failure. Antioxidants administration therefore has a central role in the management of these conditions, in addition to the standard conventional supportive therapies.


NUTRITION, SUPPLEMENTS & LIFESTYLE

What makes COVID-19 uniquely damaging and different from other viruses such as influenza, is its ability to cause Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in up to 41.8% of infected patients in a relatively short amount of time, regardless of age and underlying comorbidity.  After onset of COVID-19, patients may start to experience dyspnea (shortness of breath) which could devolve rapidly into ARDS and end-organ failure.

COVID-19 is something to take seriously. It is highly “contagious” and “spreads” quickly.  Yes, it causes respiratory failure and death in those most susceptible: the elderly and those with chronic health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and lung disorders. We may not even have enough respirators for those who have a serious case. But I have faith that the majority of those that contract COVID-19 will recover from it, especially if they have a health immune system and utilize the correct therapies.

Since many people seem pretty anxious, I thought I’d share some tools that may prove helpful. To be clear, this is just research I’m reviewing and not medical recommendations I’m making. Before you buy supplements, know that diet, movement/exercise, sunlight, clean water, clean airwaves (minimization of EMF’s) and staying grounded (implementing different practices to reduce stress and anxiety) is the foundation of vibrant health and prevention. In addition to “The Basics” noted above, these are our recommendations for supporting virus prevention, specific to coronaviruses, in order of importance:

  1. Avoid exposure
  2. If exposed, avoid it getting into eyes, nose, mouth, lungs
  3. Add supplements to prevent virus from docking to cells and replicating
  4. Add supplements for general immune support

Apply your own critical thinking and choose accordingly:

  • You MUST MOVE AROUND – COUGH and BREATH DEEP – STRETCH – do NOT LIE DOWN and rest through this – do not be lazy! you must move and walk and cough and clear the lungs and keep breathing …
    All the reports are saying you must clear the lungs as much as possible – Wim Hoff breathing in the early stages would be recommended
  • PEMF Therapy – This is a cellular support therapy and the first thing we can suggest tha supports the entire eco-system of the body and it’s processes through supporting cellular efficiency and function. We recommend this treatment for any chronic problem especially where patients are weak, eldrely or lack proper basic functioning of the immune system. You can read more about PEMF therapy here …
  •  <a href=”https://www.drugs.com/ivermectin.html” rel=”noopener noreferrer” target=”_blank”>Ivermectin</a> is an anti-parasite medication.
    – Ivermectin is used to treat infections in the body that are caused by certain parasites.
    – Ivermectin is currently being investigated as a treatment for coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. The trials so far have shown ivermectin reduces the number of cell-associated viral DNA by 99.8 % in 24 hours. Further studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of this medicine in humans with COVID-19.

  • Maintain Optimal Hydration – Drink clean water! Take your weight in pounds, divide the  number by 2 and the resultant number is the minimum amount of water in ounces to drink per day. Celery juice is quite exceptional at hydrating cells, so are liquids from lacto-ferments and taking fulvic acid supplements daily.

Fulvic acid liquid supplements should always be bought in a glass and this mineral electrolyte provides deeper cellular hydration compared to salt electrolytes.It is important to maintain electrolyte balance to prevent infection. It is particularly crucial when there is a fever involved. Supplementing with unrefined sea salt (or pink Himalayan Salt) is crucial here. It can be added to each glass of water. Look up Sole Salt & start adding this to your morning lemon water – check out the recipe here

https://wellnessmama.com/12158/make-sole/. Or check out this super hydrating recipe here – https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/recipe/super-hydrating-electrolyte-formula/.

  • Vitamin C – A lack of vitamin C has been long known to increase susceptibility to viruses, and a few studies have shown that vitamin C deficiency is related to the increased risk and severity of influenza infections. Vitamin C is significant to the human body and plays a role in reducing inflammatory response and also helps to boost the immune system when you are ill with a cold or the flu.

Supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system, vitamin C is well known for its contribution to the body’s immune defense.Insufficient vitamin C intake is a global problem that can be addressed with proper nutrition and supplementation.

With even modest amounts of supplemental vitamin C, deaths will decrease. In a study, modest amounts of supplemental vitamin C (200 mg of vitamin C per day) resulted in an 80% decrease in deaths among severely ill, hospitalized respiratory disease patients.[Hunt C. The clinical effects of vitamin C supplementation in elderly hospitalized patients with an acute respiratory infection. Int J Vit Nut Res 1994;64:212-19]

Foods highest in Vitamin C: Kakadu Plums, Acerola Cherries, Rose Hips, Hibiscus, Chili Peppers, Guavas, Sweet Yellow Peppers, Blackcurrants, Thyme, Parsley, Kale, Kiwis, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Lemons, Lychees, American Persimmons, Papaya ,Strawberries, Oranges. The juice from two fresh squeezed lemons should be just enough vitamin c for your day. Also pine needles are high in Vitamin C.So just in case you are ever in need, print this out or simply remember how to make it – https://www.perfectsupplements.com/perfect-education/pine-trees-vitamin-c-from-your-backyard

Therapy can give you higher dosages without affecting your gastrointestinal tract. Find a Naturopath near you if you start to develop a fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. Next best to IV Therapy is Liposomal Vitamin C. If your local health food store supplement section is legit they will offer this.

A brand I recommend is QuickSilver:
https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/all-products/vitamin-c/.
If you are going to take a capsule vitamin c, please make sure its buffered. If you can get a capsuled vitamin c with a bioflavonoids complex, it will help with your capillary growth and strength potential.

Preliminary clinical studies and case reports show that early administration of high dose IV vitamin C (IVC) can improve clinical conditions of patients in ICU, ARDS and flu. It needs to be pointed that pandemics like 2019-nCov will happen in the future. Specific vaccines and antiviral drugs R&D take a long time to develop and are not available for the current nCov epidemic and won’t be ready when the next pandemic strikes.

  • IVC and other antioxidants are universal agents for ARDS that can be rapidly applied clinically. Given that high dose IVC is safe, can be effective, we call on the involved leadership and healthcare professionals to look into high dose IVC without further delay. More clinical studies of the IVC and oral VC (such as liposomal-encapsulated VC) are needed to develop standard protocols for the current use and future uses are urgently needed. We hope when the next pandemic strikes, we’ll be ready!

  • Zinc – Zinc is a dietary trace mineral and is important for the maintenance and development of immune cells of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Zinc affects multiple aspects of the immune system and even acts as an antioxidant by fighting off free radicals. It’s also a very common deficiency worldwide.Zinc deficiency results in dysfunction of both humoral and cell‐mediated immunity and increases susceptibility to infectious diseases.

Zinc supplement given to zinc‐deficient children could reduce measles‐related morbidity and mortality caused by lower respiratory tract infections. Increasing the concentration of intracellular zinc with zinc‐ionophores like pyrithione can efficiently impair the replication of a variety of RNA viruses.In addition, the combination of zinc and pyrithione (coordination complex of zinc) at low concentrations inhibits the replication of SARS coronavirus (SARS‐CoV) [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1001176].

Therefore, zinc supplementation may have an effect not only on COVID‐19‐related symptoms like diarrhea and lower respiratory tract infection, but also on COVID‐19 itself.

Example Product: “Premier Research Labs Liquid Zinc Assay” or “Nootropics Depot MicroZine Capsules”

  • Vitamin A (NOT Beta Carotene) – Vitamin A is the first fat‐soluble vitamin to be recognized not to be confused with β‐carotene in its plant‐derived precursor . There are three active forms of vitamin A in the body, retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid. Vitamin A is also called “anti‐infective” vitamin and many of the body’s defenses against infection depend on an adequate supply. Researchers have believed that an impaired immune response is due to the deficiency of a particular nutritional element [https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11092101].

Vitamin A deficiency is strongly involved in measles and diarrhea [Kantoch M, Litwinska B, Szkoda M, Siennicka J. Importance of vitamin A deficiency in pathology and immunology of viral infections. Rocz Panstw Zakl Hig. 2002; 53: 385‐ 392.] and measles can become severe in vitamin A‐deficient children. In addition, Semba et al [https://doi.org/10.1017/s0029665199000944] had reported that vitamin A supplementation reduced morbidity and mortality in different infectious diseases, such as measles, diarrheal disease, measles‐related pneumonia, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and malaria.

Vitamin A supplementation also offers some protection against the complications of other life‐threatening infections, including malaria, lung diseases, and HIV [https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.109.1.e6]. Jee et al [https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.74.10.1353] had reported that low vitamin A diets might compromise the effectiveness of inactivated bovine coronavirus vaccines and render calves more susceptible to infectious disease.

The effect of infection with infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a kind of coronaviruses, was more pronounced in chickens fed a diet marginally deficient in vitamin A than in those fed a diet adequate in vitamin A [https://doi.org/10.1093/jn/122.2.333]. The mechanism by which vitamin A and retinoids inhibit measles replication is upregulating elements of the innate immune response in uninfected bystander cells, making them refractory to productive infection during subsequent rounds of viral replication [https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.09%E2%80%90129288].

Therefore, vitamin A could be a promising option for the treatment of this novel coronavirus and the prevention of lung infection.

Vitamin A from palmitate does not accumulate as much as fish oil. It is best to have your levels checked by your holistic doctor. Example Products: “Biotics Ae-Emulsion Forte” or “”A-Mulsion by Genestra”

  • Iodine – Iodine is essential to not only fighting off an infection it is necessary for proper immune system functioning. There is no bacteria, virus, parasite or fungus that is known to be resistant to iodine. Most of the population is low in iodine. In fact, iodine levels have fallen nearly 60% over the last 40 years. The RDA for iodine is inadequate to supply enough iodine for all the bodily tissues. For the majority of people, taking 25 mg/day as a daily dose and more (sometimes 50-100 mg/day) at the first sign of an illness. Iodine can cause adverse effects and it is best used under the guidance of an iodine-knowledgeable doctor.

The best iodine supplement is a combination of iodine and iodide. Lugol’s Potassium Iodide is the perfect ratio. Nascent Iodine is also amazing for oral consumption. My average dosage is 25 mg/day and more if there is glandular disease. Selenium is important if someone is selenium deficient – so eat one to three organic brazilian nuts everyday. Seaweed is a good source of iodine, but, generally not enough in our toxic world.

Iodine/Iodide Drink Recipe: 2 quart glass of filtered water; ½ tsp of natural pure salt per jar; slowly work up to a loading dose of 10 drops of Iodine/Iodide (liquid for internal use) then reduced it down to 5 drops per jar; one juiced lime per jar; and 1 – 2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey. I believe that the salt/citrus mixture is the key to the absorption of the Iodine/Iodide – no stomach upset regardless of dose.

Iodine Patch Test & Transdermal Absorption – This is a great at home test to see if your body needs iodine. Get a tincture of Lugol’s Potassium Iodide then:Using 3 to 6 drops of Lugol’s, paint a 3-inch by 3-inch square on your abdomen, inner thigh or inner forearm (wrist). Allow it to dry before touching anything, as it will stain (especially fabric). Maybe lay a junk towel down.Monitor the patch over the next 24 hours for color changes. Most people who are deficient, the color goes away within the first hour.

If you are nervous about consuming Iodine because of thyroid problems then you can always consume Lugol’s Iodine through your skin. Do three drops on the inner wrist three to five times a week. And always consult an Iodine Literate Physician or Health Coach if you need too.

  • Sunlight or Vitamin D3 – Although you can get vitamin D through some fortified foods and sunlight, our modern lifestyle doesn’t always allow for a lot of time outdoors, and many adults don’t get the levels of vitamin D required to modulate the immune system.

Vitamin D is not only a nutrient but also a hormone, which can be synthesized in our body with the help of sunlight. In addition to its role in maintaining bone integrity, it also stimulates the maturation of many cells including immune cells. A high number of healthy adults have been reported to be with low levels of vitamin D, mostly at the end of the Winter season (hint, hint).

in addition, people who are housebound, or institutionalized and those who work at night may have vitamin D deficiency, as do many elderly people, who have limited exposure to sunlight. The COVID‐19 was first identified in Winter of 2019 and mostly affected middle‐aged to elderly people. The virus‐infected people might have insufficient vitamin D.

In addition, the decreased vitamin D status in calves had been reported to cause the infection of bovine coronavirus. Therefore, vitamin D could work as another therapeutic option for the treatment of this novel virus.

  • Get Exercise – Beyond the obvious cardiovascular, mood, and weight management benefits of regular exercise, moderate physical activity can improve our antibody response to infections. It’s important not to overtrain; however, as chronic strenuous exercise without recovery days has been associated with an increased susceptibility to infections, as well as frequency of injury. (Try these cortisol-conscious workouts, which are effective without over-stressing your body – https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/why-you-need-cortisol-conscious-workouts-if-youre-stressed-out.)
  • Get Quality Sleep – Chronic sleep deprivation and disruption of the sleep-wake cycle cause an activation of the inflammatory immune response. Lack of sleep decreases the activity of T-cells (a crucial type of immune cell) and weakens our immune response to vaccines. Studies of identical twins show that the sleep-deprived ones had increased inflammation markers and worse immune markers [https://academic.oup.com/sleep/article/40/1/zsw019/2952682

    Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep on a regular basis and avoid all-nighters. If you travel through time zones frequently, use small amounts of melatonin (2 to 3 mg) to reset your circadian rhythm. Learn to reset your circadian rhythm here – https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/why-your-circadian-rhythm-rules-your-health-exactly-what-to-do-about-it – Make this a priority!

    • And keep your bedroom EMF (Electromagnetic Fields) free. Do NOT use your cell phone as an alarm clock. Buy a battery powered alarm clock and even keep that at least 12 inches from the body. Turn your wifi off when not using it, especially when sleeping. Invest an in EMF shielding net or even better hire an EMF consultant to test your bedroom and home to find out your current level of exposure.

    You could be sleeping right next to a buried power line or next to a wall of smart meters and not even know it!

    EMF toxicity is the greatest toxin in our modern world due to constant exposure.

    More about an EMF Free bedroom here – https://www.getgreenbewell.com/reduce-emfs-in-your-bedroom/.Also do not look at blue light before sleeping. This goes for all screens. Unless you have blue light blocking glasses.

    The blue light from screens AND led lights tell your brain it’s midday which screw up your circadian rhythm. I’ve read research before that you can shine your cell phone to your skin behind your knees and the blue light gets absorbed into receptors and off throws your natural sleep cycles. So buy specific glasses, get rid of ALL led’s and stop looking at screens so much. I even put electrical tape over the small led light of my smoke alarm in my room. I sleep in a solid blackout room with an emf net and most of the time I wear my eye masks. Sleep is when your brain washes itself.

    • Eat Lacto-Ferments or Probiotics – Gut micro biota has been associated with the promotion of health, the increased the risk of disease, and the maintenance of some diseases. Upper respiratory infections caused by viruses are among the most common health problems in humans [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12588210].

    More than 200 viruses are known to cause respiratory infections in humans [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16253889]. Common causative agents are respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus, enterovirus (EV), coronavirus, influenza virus, and adenovirus [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24415465].

    The prevention of upper respiratory infections by the use of probiotics has been studied in several trials. For instance, L. GG alone or in combination with other probiotics was shown to reduce the incidence or risk of Upper respiratory infection (URI) in children [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18986600].

    A recent systematic review found a favourable outcome of the use of probiotics in reducing the episodes of new respiratory infection in children [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021755715000686]. However, further studies are required to confirm these results.

    A recent Cochrane database review of the use of probiotics in URI found 13 randomized controlled trials with participants in several age groups found that probiotics were found to be better than the placebo in reducing the number of subjects who experienced acute URI, the mean duration of acute URI, the number of antibiotic prescriptions, and cold-related school absences [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21901706].

    • Make your own sauerkraut easily with cabbage, spices, salt and filtered water. It does take at least a minimal of seven days but it’s the most affordable way to indulge in active living probiotics. Probiotics supplements are effective too! Adding a mixed product of lactobacillus and bifidophilus can be your natural defenses against infection.
    • Use Natural Antimicrobials To Ward Off Infection – One of the best ways to build your immune strength daily is through a few key whole foods. These foods can be incorporated on a daily basis so that you are constantly improving and supporting your immunity while eating delicious tasting foods.

    • Raw garlic – This superfood has very strong antimicrobial and antiviral properties. The potent sulfur compound allicin in garlic is known to treat serious GI infections such as SIBO (small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and kill parasites and yeast infections. At the first sign of an infection, start taking one raw garlic clove daily, or use concentrated allicin extract.
    • Oregano Oil – This oil has a long history of being used and an antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal. It can also be used topically to treat antibiotic-resistant staph infections of the skin (MRSA) as well as taken internally to combat yeast infections.
    • Manuka Honey –  Quite a bit of research exists on the benefits of honey as a natural immune supporter, natural anti-inflammatory agent, and antimicrobial agent. Manuka honey, in particular—native to New Zealand and Australia—is even registered as a wound-care product in those countries. Manuka honey has substances that can kill bacteria topically, and when ingested, it can even work synergistically with antibiotics to improve their efficacy.

    Incorporation of herbs and spices into the diet is another way to ingest foods that have demonstrated anti-viral properties. Namely, immune supportive herbs or their active components, which can be found in other natural products such as supplements, and may specifically target viruses of the Coronavideae family include:

    • – Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood)
    • – Houttuynia cordata (chameleon’s plant)
    • – Isatis indigotica (dyer’s woad)
    • – Lindera aggregata (evergreen, spicebush)
    • – Lycoris radiata (red spider lily)
    • – Pyrrosia lingua (felt fern)
    • – Torreya nucifera (Japanese nutmeg-yew)
    • Avoid Refined Sugar – Refined sugar paralyzes the ability of white blood cells to perform their duties for hours. White blood cells (WBC’s) are the soldiers of our immune system, found throughout the body, protecting us from infectious disease and foreign invaders. They work with other organs and systems in the body to help us fight colds, heal quickly.

    According to the book Eating Alive by Dr. Jonn Matsen, studies have shown that eating white sugar and other sweets can paralyze the white blood cells for half an hour or more. Other studies have shown that the amount of sugar you find in a 1L bottle of soda (about 100g of sugar) makes your white blood cells 40% less effective at killing germs, which can negatively impact your immune system for up to 5 hours after consumption.

    As much as you possibly can, avoid refined, processed sugar. Do your best to avoid foods like flavoured lattes (sorry vanilla latte lovers!), cereals (many of which are marketed to kids!), desserts, pop, ice cream and watch out for ingredients like table sugar, cane sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fructose and glucose.

    To replace the white, processed sugar (in candy, cakes, ice cream, desserts), choose natural alternatives (real whole food) that your body doesn’t have to work so hard to digest: maple syrup,  unpasteurized (raw) honey, dates (whole, date sugar or date syrup), and/or coconut sugar.

    • Avoid Refined Salt, Flour, & Oils – Eliminate all hydrogenated & partially hydrogenated oils and trans fats – The American diet is loaded with omega-6 oils and trans fats as opposed to the anti-inflammatory omega 3 oils found in vegetables, certain seeds and nuts, and fatty cold-water fish. Omega-6 oils result in inflammatory chemicals circulating around the body, and reduce the ability of our cells to function normally.
    • Polyunsaturated oils such as corn, soy, safflower, CANOLA, and sunflower oils oxidize easily, especially when heated, meaning they react with oxygen, and form an oxide. Oxidized, vegetable oils can cause free-radical damage, and at high heat the form from  trans fats that generate even more free radicals that can damage thousands of cells.
    • Partially hydrogenated oils, such as in margarine, are equally damaging. Use only healthy oils – extra virgin olive oil for cold foods for salad dressings and virgin coconut oil for cooking. I’ve seen a person’s fresh live blood sample under a microscope before and after eating canola oil, and I saw parasites and other invaders just swim in and out of the cell. The healthier your cell membranes are, the stronger your first line of defence.
    • Eat Unprocessed & Organic Whole Foods – Foods like gluten and dairy can depress the mucosal immune function.  We recommend eliminating dairy and gluten especially if you are “high risk.” Good foods to incorporate into your diet: garlic, veggie broth, medicinal mushrooms ( shitake, cordyceps,), ginger, turmeric, oregano, sage, thyme, mint, Ceylon cinnamon, cumin, greens, & sprouts.
    • Consumer & Cook With Coconut Oil – Keep some coconut oil handy. Coconut oil has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It has been shown to prevent binding of viral proteins to host cell membranes. You can put some on a Qtip and swab in your nostrils for additional protection when you’re out and about. You can also brush your teeth with coconut oil (you can add baking soda and a drop of peppermint oil), use it as a protective moisturizer or even take supplementally.
    • Philippines Connection: People living in the Philippines, a country of islands not very far off the coast of China, remember all too well the last time a deadly coronavirus epidemic broke out in China. It was 2003 when the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) coronavirus broke out in China. It infected over 7000 people in China with over 600 recorded deaths.

    Even with its close proximity to China and large Chinese population in the Philippine nation of about 80 million people, only 14 cases of SARS was reported with two recorded deaths. Canada, many thousands of miles away, had far more cases and more deaths recorded due to SARS infection from China than neighboring Philippine Islands. One of the theories put forward at the time as to why the Filipino people had so few cases, was the country’s predominant use of cooking oil: Coconut Oil.

          The Philippines is the world’s largest producer of coconut oil, with about 70% of the world’s coconut oil being exported from the country.

          • The medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil, and primarily lauric acid, have been known to destroy enveloped viruses by researchers for many years. Dr. Fabian Dayrit, Ph.D. and Dr. Mary Newport, M.D. have just published a paper regarding coconut oil’s potential to also combat the new coronavirus currently infecting people in China.

          Science Connection: Lauric acid (C12) and monolaurin, its derivative, have been known for many years to have significant antiviral activity. Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid which makes up about 50% of coconut oil; monolaurin is a metabolite that is naturally produced by the body’s own enzymes upon ingestion of coconut oil and is also available in pure form as a supplement. Lauric acid, monolaurin, and sodium lauryl sulfate (which is also known as sodium dodecyl sulfate) are used in a wide range of products for their antiviral properties.

          Mechanisms of Action: Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain the antiviral activity of lauric acid and monolaurin: first, they cause disintegration of the virus envelope; second, they can inhibit late maturation stage in the virus replicative cycle; and third, they can prevent the binding of viral proteins to the host cell membrane.

          Disintegration Of The Virus Membrane | The antiviral activities of lauric acid and monolaurin were first noted by Sands and co-workers (1979) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC352613/] and later by Hierholzer & Kabara [http://europepmc.org/article/AGR/IND83026857].In particular, Hierholzer & Kabara showed that monolaurin was able to reduce infectivity of 14 human RNA and DNA enveloped viruses in cell culture by >99.9%, and that monolaurin acted by disintegrating the virus envelope [http://europepmc.org/article/AGR/IND83026857].Thormar and co-workers (1987) confirmed the ability of lauric acid and monolaurin to inactivate viruses by disintegration of the cell membrane [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC174645/]. Sodium lauryl sulfate has been shown to be able to solubilize and denature the viral envelope [https://jcm.asm.org/content/38/1/110].

          Inhibits Virus Maturation | The Junin virus (JUNV) is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever. In a comparison among the saturated fatty acids from C10 to C18 against JUNV infection, Bartolotta and co-workers (2001) showed that lauric acid was the most active inhibitor [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11402863]. From mechanistic studies, it was concluded that lauric acid inhibited a late maturation stage in the replicative cycle of JUNV. From transmission electron microscope images, JUNV is an enveloped virus featuring glycoproteins that are embedded in the lipid bilayer forming viral spikes [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23202466]; this is similar to nCoV-2019.

          Prevents Binding Of Viral Proteins To The Host Cell Membrane | Hornung and co-workers (1994) showed that in the presence of lauric acid, the production of infectious vesicular stomatitis virus was inhibited in a dose-dependent and reversible manner: after removal of lauric acid, the antiviral effect disappeared [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8113756]. They observed that lauric acid did not influence viral membrane (M) protein synthesis, but prevented the binding of viral M proteins to the host cell membrane.

          Although lauric acid accounts for much of the reported antiviral activity of coconut oil, capric acid (C10) and monocaprin have also shown promising activity against other viruses, such as HIV-1 [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10514348].

          Capric acid accounts for about 7% of coconut oil. Thus, at least two fatty acids in coconut oil, and their monoglycerides, have antiviral properties. Hilarsson and co-workers (2007) tested virucidal activities of fatty acids, monoglycerides and fatty alcohols against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) at different concentrations, times and pH levels [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00705-007-1063-5].

          They reported the most active compound tested was monocaprin (C10), which also showed activity against influenza A virus and significant virucidal activities even at a concentration as low as 0.06-0.12%.

          Coconut Oil’s History in Destroying Viruses, Including Coronaviruses

              • Limit Alcohol – During the stress of a viral outbreak, and the pressure of being stuck at home for long periods of time, it might seem natural to turn to some liquid courage and stress relief. The occasional drink in moderation is unlikely to be a threat, particularly if it has the benefits of helping you relax. But avoid overdoing it — not only will you feel worse and need to rehydrate and rest even more, excessive alcohol use can also impair the immune system and the body’s ability to heal itself, according to research.
              • Limit Resveratrol (Red Wine) – Scientists discovered that red wine has anti-viral properties awhile back. An ingredient of red wine, resveratrol, also found in grape juice, raspberries and other foods, can reduce the effects of viruses. Studies have shown that resveratrol is effective against a number of viruses, including the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus. The concentrations of resveratrol used in the studies are likely higher than in your glass, but a glass or two a day of red wine may prove beneficial, if only as a placebo effect. Pinot noir seems to have the highest concentration of resveratrol.

          But consider limiting the consumption of red wine and other foods high in resveratrol. Research shows that Covid-19 attaches to ACE2. Increases in ACE2 is associated with higher risk of viral entry. Resveratrol increases ACE2. Important to note that ACE2 is NOT “bad” it just happens to have the receptors that COVID-19 attaches to.

          Source Links – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28935757
          & https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0021915018300431

              • Avoid Smoking or Vaping –  Smoking increases ACE2 receptors in the lungs where COVID-19 has been shown to bind to. If you have genetic methylation impaired pathways, then you really need to be careful with drinking alcohol and smoking.

              • Avoid Elderberry, Polysaccharide Mushroom Extracts, Echinacea, & Selenium – First off, elderberries have indeed been scientifically proven to improve cold and flu symptoms in randomized studies. They’ve also been found to show a “mild inhibitory effect” during early stages of the flu but appear to work even better at lessening symptoms once infected. That same study also observed elderberries can stop a virus from getting into a body and replicating, as well as boost immune response. Based on additional research, I have decided to keep these items off any of my lists – there seems to be support for them in both directions.

          While selenium is believed to be effective against certain viruses such as Ebola and influenza A, it also appears to exhibit inhibitory activity against angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (17). This inhibition may increase the expression of ACE2, which appears to be the receptors through which SARS-CoV-2 infects host cells [https://jvi.asm.org/content/94/7/e00127-20]

          When you are exhibiting symptoms of infection or test positive for coronavirus, you should consider avoiding elderberry, polysaccharide mushrooms (reishi, turkey tail, maitake), echinacea, & selenium supplements because the immune-activating properties of it may cause increased levels of IL-1B and/or IL-18 in infected immune cells. These are inflammatory cytokines that could potentially make the illness more complicated because they are sending the wrong proinflammatory cytokines to the fight and raising fever and increasing mucus congestion.

              • Avoid Ibuprofen – Ibuprofen has been shown to increase ACE 2 expression just like smoking. Ibuprofen enhances the infectious capabilities of COVID-19. Ibuprofen also causes problems for the kidneys and the GI tract. It is best to let the body utilize its innate abilities to fight an infection. One of the body’s main ways to do this is by mounting a fever. The increased body temperature is a way to mobilize the immune system into action as well as to enhance the killing effect of a foreign invader. Fevers can often be managed by tepid baths, lots of hydration and rest.
              • Acetaminophen should also be avoided for fevers.  It depletes a crucial antioxidant–glutathione.  In fact, acetaminophen should be severely limited for any condition.  It has a poor safety profile.
              • Take Caution With ACE inhibitors aka Blood Pressure Regulation Meds – ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors were initially used for the treatment of high blood pressure, but their role has grown over the years to include the management of heart failure, heart attacks, diabetes and kidney disease.
              • ACE inhibitors work by reducing the activity of the body’s major blood pressure regulatory mechanism, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. When there is reduced blood pressure in the kidney, the body produces the enzyme renin, which leads to the production of a protein called angiotensin I.

          This protein doesn’t have any effect on the body, but when it’s converted by another enzyme – the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, produced particularly in the lungs – into angiotensin II, this has potent vascular effects that increase blood pressure. ACE inhibitors block this enzyme and so prevent the rise in blood pressure.So why might this matter for COVID-19?To gain entry to human cells, a key trick employed by the coronavirus is to attach to a receptor on the surface of the cells which binds to an enzyme related to ACE, called ACE2. ACE2 has different functions to ACE, including inactivating angiotensin II.

          ACE inhibitors do not appear to directly affect the action of ACE2. Nevertheless, they may have indirect effects that could lead to an increase in the number of ACE2 receptors. This has led to concerns that ACE inhibitors may facilitate COVID-19 disease [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(20)30116-8/fulltext], particularly as these drugs are used in older people with other health issues who we know are at risk of more severe respiratory complications.

          However, the situation is not necessarily that simple. Previous work with the related condition SARS showed that reduced ACE2 (and with it, increased angiotensin II) was associated with severe lung injury [https://www.nature.com/articles/nature03712].

          Based on this, ACE inhibitors and ARBs, by reducing angiotensin II, might actually be expected to be protective against severe lung problems. In an attempt to address these opposing theories, there is currently a clinical trial which is examining whether the ARB drug Losartan may have benefits in patients with COVID-19 [https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04312009].

          The balance of these risks and benefits is currently unknown. There is a lack of epidemiological evidence to support these drugs being either dangerous or therapeutically useful in the context of this coronavirus. One case study in China of more than 1,000 COVID-19 patients found higher rates of pre-existing cardiovascular disorders in those people with more severe viral disease, although their drug therapy was not examined [https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032].

          But even if one might expect ACE inhibitor or ARB use to be higher in those with cardiovascular disease, these patients are also likely to be at far higher risk of complications simply due to poor underlying cardiac, renal and respiratory function – disentangling the effects of disease and therapy requires far more study.

          Many GPs are already being asked what they should do by understandably anxious patients, and are unsure of what to do themselves. Conflicting or misleading advice on social media has not helped the decision-making process. Discontinuation risks a deterioration in existing cardiovascular conditions, leading to further complications.

          More research is clearly required, but in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the European Society of Cardiology put out a position statement strongly advising continuation of ACE inhibitor and ARB therapy [https://www.escardio.org/Councils/Council-on-Hypertension-(CHT)/News/position-statement-of-the-esc-council-on-hypertension-on-ace-inhibitors-and-ang]. In the meantime, it’s essential that patients are provided with the facts as they are currently known in order for them to make the most informed decision they can about their care.

              • Absolutely NO Flu Shots!!! – This is not the time to vaccinate as it’s too late – however It won’t help corona infections and there was a study which found an increased risk in non-influenza infections, including coronavirus, in those that received the trivalent flu vaccine. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3404712/)
              • Use A Humidifier (or turn down the heat if you don’t have a humidifier) – Beyond hydration mentioned above, keep nasal passages and mucosal membranes healthy and intact. Dry artificial indoor heat damages the natural defenses of the respiratory system making you more susceptible to invasion by viruses. Add colloidal silver or food grade hydrogen peroxide to a humidifier.
              • Liposomal Glutathione or Nebulized Glutathione or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) – Known as the master antioxidant, glutathione protects the human body like few others. Its primary contribution is the protection of the body’s mitochondria through mitigating damage by heavy metals, organic toxins and free radicals. Supporting mitochondrial health is a critical component in support of the body’s defense system against coronavirus [https://www.evolutamente.it/covid-19-furins-cancer-a-tale-of-vitamin-c-hif/]. Separate from its antioxidant properties, however, glutathione is considered an inhibitor of the inflammatory response [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2017.01239/full#B44 & https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10489835].

          Since Coronavirus can cause Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), it’s important to know that glutathione can be Nebulized directly into the lungs with bicarbonate for an excellent treatment when the lungs become inflamed. This can be important for ICU and emergency room doctors as well as patients at home who are suffering an infection that is affecting the lungs.

          Glutathione is manufactured by every one of our trillions of cells, and the level of glutathione in our cells is predictive of how long we will live. Without the cleaning and chelating work of Glutathione (magnesium and sulphates needed) cells begin to decay as cellular filth and heavy metals accumulate – excellent environments to attract deadly infections. Without sufficient GSH, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, ages prematurely and dies more easily from viral and bacterial infections.

          Glutathione is a sulfur based enzyme and can float up to anything and attach itself to it. It is like sticky flypaper, whatever GSH attaches itself to cannot escape and is removed from the body. GSH is our body’s natural scavenger, knows what is normal and belongs and what does not. Obviously, anything that is not normal like bacteria, viruses and fungi will be quickly removed if there is enough GSH present to do the job.

          In another major active defensive pathway, glutathione makes sure that all components of the immune system are strong and operating efficiently. Without the interaction of GSH with the immune system it remains weak and unbalanced thus leaving patients with infections, vulnerable to death. It does not matter if a virus or bacteria has mutated or not, it will be recognized by GSH and removed.

          GSH is a basic first line of defense and should be used for all life threatening infections. Bottom line when fighting nasty infections—without sufficient GSH you will die but you will not see it listed by the authorities as a treatment for the coronavirus.

          The first step in anti-viral or bacterial medicine is to build the strength of the immune system. Our immune cells are designed to protect us, but what protects the immune cell? Glutathione is the protector of the immune cell and allows newly formed immune cells to proliferate to attack germs and viruses. Glutathione feeds, protects, and strengthens our immune system.

          Glutathione boosts white blood cell production to fight infection, particularly the T-cells, which are called lymphocytes. T-cells are at the core of our immunity, and tailor the body’s immune response to pathogens, viral and bacterial infections or anything the cells recognize as being invasive. Studies have shown that Glutathione is food for the immune cells, boosting the strength of lymphocytes. B-cell lymphocytes identify the unwanted pathogen that the T-cells then attack.

          GSH protects us from viruses, such as the herpes virus, flu viruses, and probably from Ebola as well. Our white blood cells help fight off viruses. They need an abundant supply of glutathione to be able to effectively protect us from invading microorganisms and viruses. Inhibition of cellular respiration, oxidation of glutathione and induction of apoptosis have been reported in epithelial cells infected in vitro with influenza A virus (IAV) [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042682213004546].

          Ingesting Glutathione does not raise Glutathione levels since it is poorly absorbed through the digestive system. The fragile tripeptide (3-amino acid) structure of Glutathione makes surviving the digestive tract a near impossibility. This is why using Liposomal Glutathione, Nebulizing Glutathione, suppositories and IV are the only options to internally take Glutathione.

              • N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a cellular antioxidant support that specifically promotes healthy lung tissue. NAC is a free radical scavenger that supports glutathione levels in tissues. NAC supplements are a precursor to glutathione. So if you are looking for an oral capsule supplement take NAC.

              • Infrared Heat Sauna Therapy – There are many ways to support and empower the body’s immune system. Regular infrared sauna use offers effective broad spectrum immune support both as prevention and for overcoming both acute and chronic infections (including from viruses as well as bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms) without negative side effects.

          Many virus infections elicit vigorous host immune responses, both innate and acquired. The immune responses are frequently successful in controlling and then clearing the virus, using both cellular effectors such as natural killer (NK) cells and cytolytic T lymphocytes and soluble factors such as interferons (IFNs). However, some immune responses lead to pathologic changes or are unable to prevent the pathogen’s growth.

          This review will not be devoted to the different strategies viruses have taken to promote their transmission or survival but rather to one aspect of the innate immune response to infection: the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the antiviral repertoire. Recently, data from many laboratories, using both RNA and DNA viruses in experimental systems, have implicated a role for NO in the immune response. The data do not indicate a magic bullet for all systems but suggest that NO may inhibit an early stage in viral replication and thus prevent viral spread, promoting viral clearance and recovery of the host [

          Infrared Sauna Therapy helps the body increase production of Nitric Oxide. There are a lot of things we can do to the human body to restore nitric oxide production, or to rid the body of things that are inhibiting nitric oxide production. With infrared sauna therapy, there are certain wavelengths of light that are shown to liberate nitric oxide off of molecules, as well as liberate nitric oxide bound to metals, and bound to cysteine thiols and cells.

          The use of near-infrared, far-infrared, and different multiple wavelengths of light can actually release nitric oxide in the body. In fact there are studies that show that an infrared sauna can lower blood pressure through the increased liberation or production of nitric oxide. But perhaps the most important thing with infrared technology is the detox component.

          There are certain wavelengths of light that will structure water, and help to liberate fat-soluble, lipid-soluble toxins, and help to liberate heavy metals. Heavy metals are really a burden to nitric oxide because nitric oxide will bind any metals. So if you have a heavy metal burden, your body can be proficient at making nitric oxide, the problem is the metals that are in your body are going to scavenge the nitric oxide before it has a chance to reach its cellular target and do its job.

          The good thing about infrared is it can help liberate nitric oxide in certain conditions, but perhaps most importantly is it helps to rid the body of some of the things that are inhibiting the body from making nitric oxide, or allowing nitric oxide to do its job.

              • Ozone Therapy – A plausible “penny” costing effective treatment for Coronavirus – OZONE! Many viruses require reduced sulfhydryl groups for cell fusion and entry. Corona viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of the condition now named coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19), are rich in cysteine, which residues must be intact for viral activity. Sulfhydryl groups are vulnerable to oxidation. Ozone therapy, a very inexpensive and safe modality may safely exploit this critical vulnerability in many viruses, inclusive of SARS-CoV-2.

          The world already has a most inexpensive, safe, and likely effective remedy for deadly viral diseases, which exploits their redox vulnerability at critical membrane cysteine/tryptophan fusion sites. Ozone therapy could be easily deployed worldwide, even in very poor countries.

          With few conventional treatments for viral pneumonia, this epidemic could provide impetus to study ozone therapy very ethically under the auspices of an institution’s review board in treating, with ozone therapy, seriously ill patients, who might otherwise expire. Milder cases could also be treated to study the ability of ozone therapy to slow or halt clinical deterioration. Such study could bring ozone therapy to the forefront of all-around infectious disease management, providing answers to our growing problems with resistant infection. Let’s have faith that the Governments will take notice.

          Typically, viruses are small, independent particles, built of crystals and macromolecules that multiply only within the host cell. The new coronavirus is considered an “enveloped virus.” Enveloped viruses are usually more sensitive to physico-chemical challenges. In past studies, 99% of viruses have been damaged or destroyed after 30 seconds of exposure to ozone.  Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher concentrations, ozone destroys the exterior protein shell by oxidation.

          Ozone has been proven to kill the SARS coronavirus.  Because the structure of the new 2019-nCoV coronavirus is almost identical, it is somewhat safe to believe that it will also work on the new coronavirus. Currently, there are more than 17 scientific studies that prove ozone can destroy the SARS coronavirus.

              • Essential Oils -Thieve Oil – Keep colds and flu at bay by having a bottle of Thieves Oil in your medicine cabinet to sanitise and fight infection. The story of Thieves Oil takes us all the way back to the Plague in the 15th century.

          There were thieves who preyed upon the dead and dying but somehow never became infected. A famous band of four thieves were finally captured in Marseilles, France and charged with the crime of robbing the plague victims. At the trial, the Magistrate offered to go easy on them if they would divulge how they avoided contracting the horrific infection, in spite of their continual and very close contact with infected corpses.It was revealed that the special formula they had concocted was provided by perfumers and spice traders.

          The thieves had simply rubbed themselves with a concoction of aromatic herbs (cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, and rosemary). Modern day essential oil has recreated this medieval Thieves oil. It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-septic and anti-fungal and can be used as a hand sanitizer, rubbed on the chest, neck, bottom of the feet and used in a diffuser to protect from cold, coughs and flu. Natural advocates diffuse this powerful essential oil into the air during cold and flu season to decrease illness in their families.

              • Colloidal Silver – Silver has been utilized as a medicine since ancient times to treat scores of ailments, including the bubonic plague. Colloidal silver is a suspension of pure metallic silver in water, that is used to dramatically reduce the activity of the HIV virus in AIDS patients, slow down the ravages of the hepatitis C virus and combat other viruses in general. It works by interfering with the enzymes that allow a virus to utilize oxygen thus, in essence, suffocating it so it cannot do damage in the body.

          Colloidal silver products may also interact with medications, including penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen), quinolone antibiotics, tetracycline and thyroxine (Unithroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid) medications.

              • Chinese Medicine – Glycyrrhizin is an active component of liquorice roots in Chinese medicine. Cinatl et al76 had reported that glycyrrhizin could inhibit the replication of SARS‐associated virus in vitro and it had already been suggested as an alternative option for treatment of SARS at that time. Baicalin, another Chinese herb, is a flavonoid which is isolated from Radix Scutellaria. Baicalin was also found to have the ability to inhibit SARS‐CoV in vitro [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcv.2004.03.003]. Ginseng stem‐leaf saponins could highly enhance the specific‐antibody responses for Newcastle disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus [https://doi.org/10.3382/ps/pez207]. Therefore, Chinese Medicine could also be considered as a choice to enhance host immunity against the infection of COVID‐19.

          In summary, the general treatment for viral infection including nutritional interventions and all kinds of immune enhancers has been used to enhance host immunity against RNA viral infections. Therefore, they may also be used to fight COVID‐19 infection by correcting the lymphopenia of patients.

              • B-Vitamins – B vitamins are water‐soluble vitamins and work as part of coenzymes. Each B vitamin has its special functions. For example, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) plays a role in the energy metabolism of all cells. Vitamin B2 deficiency had been suspected to occur among US elderly [https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/77.6.1352]. Keil et al [https://doi.org/10.1111/trf.13860] had reported that vitamin B2 and UV light effectively reduced the titer of MERS‐CoV in human plasma products. Vitamin B3, also called nicotinamide, could enhance the killing of Staphylococcus aureus through a myeloid‐specific transcription factor and vitamin B3 was efficacious in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings [https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI62070].

          Moreover, vitamin B3 treatment significantly inhibited neutrophil infiltration into the lungs with a strong anti‐inflammatory effect during ventilator‐induced lung injury. However, it also paradoxically led to the development of significant hypoxemia [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0123460].

          Vitamin B6 is also needed in protein metabolism and it participates in over 100 reactions in body tissues. In addition, it also plays an important role in body immune function as well. As shortage of B vitamins may weaken host immune response, they should be supplemented to the virus‐infected patients to enhance their immune system. Therefore, B vitamins could be chosen as a basic option for the treatment of COVID‐19.

              • L-Lysine – The essential amino acid L-lysine has been used in a wide variety of applications. In relation to antiviral therapy, L-lysine has been most studied for its uses in herpes simplex virus infections [https://pharmascope.org/index.php/ijrps/article/view/976].

          A trial supplying 1000 mg of lysine per day for 16 weeks to a population where bacterial and viral causes of diarrhea commonly occur also showed a reduction in diarrhea episodes and days of sickness in children, while reducing the number of days with sickness and number of episodes of coryza in men. In women, serum ferritin and CRP levels decreased with lysine supplementation [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20720257].

          These biomarkers may be increased in the presence of influenza infection – Source 1.

              • Nitric Oxide – Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas with diverse biological activities and is produced from arginine by NO synthases. NO is able to interact with superoxide, forming peroxynitrite, which, in turn, can mediate bactericidal or cytotoxic reactions (https://doi.org/10.1016/s1357‐2725(96)00167‐7).

          In addition, NO had played an important role in regulating airway function and in treating inflammatory airway diseases [https://doi.org/10.3109/07853899509002592].

          Rossaint et al [https://doi.org/10.1378/chest.107.4.1107] reported that the beneficial effects of NO inhalation could be observed in most patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. NO was also found to inhibit the synthesis of viral protein and RNA [https://doi.org/10.4081/monaldi.2005.632].

          Moreover, Akerström et al [https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.79.3.1966‐1969.2005] had reported that organic NO donor, S‐nitroso‐N‐acetylpenicillamine, could significantly inhibit the replication cycle of SARS‐CoV in a concentration‐dependent manner. Therefore, the NO inhalation could be also chosen as an option for the treatment of severely COVID‐19 infected patients.

          Quote from the Nitric Oxide Society:    Nitric Oxide – The Miracle Molecule   “From diabetes to hypertension, cancer to drug addiction, stroke to intestinal motility, memory and learning disorders to septic shock, sunburn to anorexia, male impotence to tuberculosis, there is probably no pathological condition where nitric oxide does not play an important role. Only within the last 25 years was Nitric Oxide discovered as a product of enzymatic synthesis in mammals, there are more than 114,000 scientific papers dealing with this remarkable molecule with most of these published within the last eight years.” –

              • Lowering Histamines – There is new literature supporting the fact that Mast Cell activation and histamine release (i.e. allergies) may contribute to the inflammation associated with COVID-19 infection. With the amount of inflammation being a concern with severity of disease and the amount of allergies (both environmental and food based allergens), we recommend reducing high histamine foods and taking natural anti-histamines to reduce the mast cell/histamine load [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3826769/].
              • Medications – Hydroxychloroquin (with azithromycin). Even though several antivirals have been used successfully in countries like China, and Korea, chloroquine has shown the most promise.  Major hospitals in China are conducting clinical trials on the efficacies of chloroquine as treatment for COVID-19; while French and Korean physicians have also reported great success. Chloroquine and its less toxic derivative hydroxychloroquine have been used to treat malaria since the 1940’s [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8361993/].  The potential cytotoxic effects of this compound is a factor that requires due consideration before wide-scale implementation [20, 26, 27]. Adding the antibiotic azithromycin shortened it even further.

          DOSAGES

          ***While COVID-19 does not appear to be a significant risk for kids, we believe it’s better to be safe than sorry. The options for kids are similar to adults, with lower doses. As always, check with your pediatrician before giving supplements if your child has existing health concerns and/or takes prescription medication.

          Boosting Immunity For Prevention of Coronavirus During This Time:

          • Vitamin A (NOT Beta Carotene) – Vitamin A from palmitate does not accumulate as much as fish oil. It is best to have your levels checked by your holistic doctor. Example Products: “Biotics Ae-Emulsion Forte” or “”A-Mulsion by Genestra”
            – Adults: 3,000 – 5,000 IU/day (not pregnant or breast-feeding women)
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 1,000 IU/day
            – Children 50-100 pounds: 1,000 – 2,000 IU/day
          • Vitamin D3 – Example Product: “Pure Encapsulation Vitamin D3”
            – Adults: 2,000 – 10,000 IU/day depends on how much sunlight you get and what your blood serum levels are. It’s safe to use anywhere from 1,00 IU/day to 5,000 IU/day.  If you get literally no outside sun shine then even 10,000 IU/day is safe. I like to recommend taking K2 with D3 but right now due to this Coronavirus outbreak, I would purchase a high dose vitamin D3 by itself – like 5,000 IU or 10,000 IU. (Pregnant woman 2,000-4,000 IU/day)
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 1,000 IU/day
            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 1,000 IU/day
          • Vitamin C – Liposomal Liquid Supplement is more absorbable but a buffered capsule supplement works as well. If you can get a capsuled vitamin c with a bioflavonoids complex, it will help with your capillary growth and strength potential. This all depends on what your budget is and what you have access to. Example Product: “QuickSilver Liposomal Vitamin C” or “Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C”
            – Adults: 3,000-5,000 mg/day
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 250 mg (once or twice a day)
            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 500 mg (once or twice a day)
          • Ionic Liquid Zinc or Micronized Zinc – Example Product: “Premier Research Labs Liquid Zinc Assay” or “Nootropics Depot MicroZine Capsules”

            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 5 – 14 mg/day
          • Iodine – Lugol’s or Nascent (Do NOT buy iodine sold at most Pharmacies that you put on cuts for internal digestion. Lugol’s & Nascent are different!)
            – Adults: 25 mg/day
            – Children: Kids can take lower doses. A useful number is to use 0.08mg/pound.
          • Colloidal Silver (Oral or Nasal Spray)
            – Adults: 10mls twice a day (morning and night)
            – Children: 5mls twice a day (morning & night)
          • Probiotics – Lactobacillus & Bifidophilus
            – Adults: 5 billion to 10 billion CFU per day (Some products even offer 50 – 100 billion CFU)
            – Babies (Under 1 Year Old): 1 to 5 billion CFU per day
            – Children (1-5 Years Old): 1 to 10 billion CFU per day
            – Children (Older Than 5 years Old): 1 to 20 billion CFU per day
          • Colostrum – Example Product “ImmunoPRP Colostrum”
            – Adults: 8mg Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) 2x/day
            – Children: ImmunoPRP colostrum spray – 4mg PRP 2x/day – keep it in the fridge for improved taste.

          We know that taking a lot of supplements can be challenging for a number of reasons, so we’re doing our best to provide focus in order of importance.

          In the end, it is a personal decision and should ideally be based on your own individual body. We always recommend discussing with your health coach or holistic integrative physician.

          For Acute Illness or Direct Exposure to Someone Ill:

          • Vitamin A (NOT Beta Carotene) – Vitamin A from palmitate does not accumulate as much as fish oil. It is best to have your levels checked by your holistic doctor. Example Products: “Biotics Ae-Emulsion Forte” or “”A-Mulsion by Genestra”
            – Adults: 100,000 IU/day for four days for adults (not pregnant or breast-feeding women)
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 20,000 IU/day for four days
            – Children 50-100 pounds: 50,000 IU/day for four days
          • Vitamin D3
            – Adults: 50,000 IU/day for four days
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 10,000 IU/da
            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 25,000 IU/day

          (Note: Both Vitamin A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. They can build up in the body. These dosages are NOT meant to be taken for longer than four days at time. If you need to repeat the doses, seek advice from your physician.)

          • Vitamin C – At the first sign of an illness, I would take 1,000 mg/hour until diarrhea develops, then back off for a time period. Vitamin C IV Therapy is the most absorbable, than a Liposomal Liquid Supplement than a buffered capsule supplement. Depends on what your budget is and what you have access to.
            – Adults: 5,000-10,000 mg/day.  If you can take more, do it.  If you get loose stools, lower it.
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 250 mg twice a day
            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 500 mg twice a day
          • Liquid Zinc or Micronized Zinc
            – Adults: 25 – 80 mg/day  on an empty stomach.
            – Children 25-50 pounds: 5 – 7  mg/day
            – Children: 50-100 pounds: 7 – 14 mg/day
          • Iodine – Lugol’s or Nascent (Do NOT buy iodine sold at most Pharmacies that you put on cuts for internal digestion. Lugol’s & Nascent are different!)
            – Adults: 25-100 mg/day and more if ill.
            – Children: Kids can take lower doses. A useful number is to use 0.08mg/pound
          • Colloidal Silver (Oral or Nasal Spray)
            – Adults: Hold 1 tsp. under tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing X 7 times daily
            – Children: 2 ml for every 12 lbs of weight for 10 + consecutive days (split total dosage into morning and night)

          Don’t forget intravenous nutrient therapies are essential for helping the immune system in a time of crises.  A holistic doctor skilled in nutrient IV therapy can help guide you. IV hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and vitamin C wonderful treatments. We would have a lot less death and misery from COVID-19 if these life-saving therapies were taught in medical schools and utilized in hospitals.


          BLOOD TYPES

          A research report by scientists in China suggesting that people with certain blood types may be more susceptible to the COVID-19 virus has been shared on social media and reported by media outlets in the past weeks, causing some to wonder if they are more likely to get the virus because of their genetics.

          The study looked at more than 2,000 patients in China who tested positive for COVID-19. The study involved patients from three hospitals in Wuhan and Shenzhen, China, the area of the country where it is believed the virus was first transmitted to humans.

          According to the research, people with type A blood appear to be more at risk than those with other blood types. The study looked at the blood types of 2,173 patients from three hospitals and compared those blood types to the blood types of a group of 3,694 people who are representative of the general population of Wuhan.

          What they found was that the percentage of people hospitalized with COVID-19 who had blood type A was significantly higher than it was among the general population. The study also showed that the proportion of people with blood type O who were hospitalized with the virus was significantly lower than the people with blood type O among the general population.

          According to the research, 32.16% of the population researchers studied in Wuhan has blood type A, while 33.84% have blood type O. Of those hospitalized for COVID-19, 37.75% had blood type A, while 25.8% had blood type O. Of the 206 patients in the study who died, 85 had blood type A or about 41% of all deaths, the study showed.

          The study was posted on medRxiv, which is an online archive for researchers to post studies they have conducted but that have not been reviewed by their peers. When scientific research is completed, it is offered for review by other scientists who look for any errors in the work or flaws in the methods used to conduct the research. The study from Wuhan is currently a “preprint,” meaning it is posted online for review, but has not been vetted by peers or published in a medical journal.

          Dr. Sakthivel Vaiyapuri, an associate professor at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom who has read the study, told PolitiFact that he would not give much weight to the study because it had not been peer-reviewed. “It’s better to safely ignore any article that hasn’t been properly scrutinized by peer review and published in a rigorous scientific journal,” Vaiyapuri said. Vaiyapuri said the size of the study, and the fact that the research seemed to show no blood type effect for patients in one of the three hospitals used in the study, would lead him to dismiss the conclusions.

          “They also haven’t considered several other parameters which might have changed the conclusion completely,” he said. “Moreover, they did not see any effect in one hospital that they analyzed. So this study is too speculative, and data are not robust to make any firm conclusions. People should not panic based on the outcomes of this study.”

          Speaking to South China Morning Post, Gao Yingdai, a researcher with the State Key Laboratory of Experimental Hematology in Tianjin, said that the study may be of use to medical researchers, but the public should not be panicked by the findings. “If you are type A, there is no need to panic. It does not mean you will be infected 100 percent,” Gao said. “If you are type O, it does not mean you are absolutely safe, either. You still need to wash your hands and follow the guidelines issued by authorities.”

          Dr. William Petri of the University of Virginia did not discount the findings, but like other researchers, suggested that more testing is needed. “The work is very preliminary, but it is biologically plausible that different blood groups might vary in their susceptibility to COVID-19,” Petri told Forbes.

          Viruses bind to different sugars on the surface of cells, according to Patricia L. Foster, professor emerita of biology at Indiana University. The types of sugars on cells are determined by a person’s genetic makeup including their blood type.

          Foster explained in The Conversation how a person’s blood type is determined by genes which, in turn, determine the kind of molecules that are present on the surface of a person’s red blood cells.

          Research into the Norovirus, a virus that causes severe vomiting and diarrhea, has shown that people with blood type B are less likely to be infected by the virus because of the sugars present on the cells of a person with that blood type.

          Petri went on to explain that “If you are blood group A, you have an extra sugar on the surface of your cells called anacitosal glucosamine, which you don’t have if you are blood group O.”

          Such differences in sugars on the surface of cells can account for people with a certain blood type being more likely to be infected by a certain virus.

          “The concept that individuals with different ABO blood groups would differ in their susceptibility or resistance to viral and bacterial infections and diseases has been explored since the early 1900s,” Dr. Kirsten Hokeness, of Bryant University, told Forbes.

          “A lot of this work has been done in malaria but there have been a number of other bacteria and viruses that have been studied as well, including hepatitis and Norovirus.”

          Should you worry more about COVID-19 if you have type A blood?

          “If you are blood group A you shouldn’t be more scared,” Petri said, “The study shows very small changes in susceptibility. It goes from 31% of people who reportedly didn’t have COVID-19 versus 38% who did. So it’s tiny changes and it hasn’t been replicated and the study has not yet been peer-reviewed.

          “So while it’s interesting and it kind of makes sense biologically, it might not be true. Regardless, if it is true, it probably does not have a huge impact on overall susceptibility.”

          CORONAVIRUS COULD BE A ‘CHIMERA’ OF TWO DIFFERENT VIRUSES

          We have all learned a lot about COVID-19 and the virus that causes it: SARS-CoV-2. But there have also been a lot of rumours. And while the number of scientific articles on this virus is increasing, there are still many grey areas as to its origins. In which animal species did it occur? A bat, a pangolin or another wild species? Where does it come from? From a cave or a forest in the Chinese province of Hubei, or elsewhere?

          In December 2019, 27 of the first 41 people hospitalised (66 percent) passed through a market located in the heart of Wuhan city in Hubei province. But, according to a study conducted at Wuhan Hospital, the very first human case identified did not frequent this market.

          Instead, a molecular dating estimate based on the SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences indicates an origin in November. This raises questions about the link between this COVID-19 epidemic and wildlife.

          GENOMIC DATA

          The SARS-CoV-2 genome was rapidly sequenced by Chinese researchers. It is an RNA molecule of about 30,000 bases containing 15 genes, including the S gene which codes for a protein located on the surface of the viral envelope (for comparison, our genome is in the form of a double helix of DNA about 3 billion bases in size and contains about 30,000 genes as mentioned earlier).

          Comparative genomic analyses have shown that SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of Beta Coronaviruses and that it is very close to SARS-CoV, responsible for an epidemic of acute pneumonia which appeared in November 2002 in the Chinese province of Guangdong and then spread to 29 countries in 2003.

          A total of 8,098 cases were recorded, including 774 deaths. It is known that bats of the genus Rhinolophus (potentially several cave species) were the reservoir of this virus and that a small carnivore, the palm civet (Paguma larvata), may have served as an intermediate host between bats and the first human cases.

          Since then, many Betacoronaviruses have been discovered, mainly in bats, but also in humans. For example, RaTG13, isolated from a bat of the species Rhinolophus affinis collected in China’s Yunan Province, has recently been described as very similar to SARS-CoV-2, with genome sequences identical to 96 percent.

          These results indicate that bats, and in particular species of the genus Rhinolophus, constitute the reservoir of the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

          But how do you define a reservoir? A reservoir is one or several animal species that are not or not very sensitive to the virus, which will naturally host one or several viruses. The absence of symptoms of the disease is explained by the effectiveness of their immune system, which allows them to fight against too much viral proliferation.

          RECOMBINATION MECHANISM

          On 7 February, 2020, we learned that a virus even closer to SARS-CoV-2 had been discovered in pangolin. With 99 percent of genomic concordance reported, this suggested a more likely reservoir than bats.

          However, a recent study under review shows that the genome of the coronavirus isolated from the Malaysian pangolin (Manis javanica) is less similar to SARS-Cov-2, with only 90 percent of genomic concordance. This would indicate that the virus isolated in the pangolin is not responsible for the COVID-19 epidemic currently raging.

          However, the coronavirus isolated from pangolin is similar at 99 percent in a specific region of the S protein, which corresponds to the 74 amino acids involved in the ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2) receptor binding domain, the one that allows the virus to enter human cells to infect them.

          By contrast, the virus RaTG13 isolated from bat R. affinis is highly divergent in this specific region (only 77 percent of similarity). This means that the coronavirus isolated from pangolin is capable of entering human cells whereas the one isolated from bat R. affinis is not.

          In addition, these genomic comparisons suggest that the SARS-Cov-2 virus is the result of a recombination between two different viruses, one close to RaTG13 and the other closer to the pangolin virus. In other words, it is a chimera between two pre-existing viruses.

          This recombination mechanism had already been described in coronaviruses, in particular to explain the origin of SARS-CoV. It is important to know that recombination results in a new virus potentially capable of infecting a new host species.

          For recombination to occur, the two divergent viruses must have infected the same organism simultaneously.

          Two questions remain unanswered: in which organism did this recombination occur? (a bat, a pangolin or another species?) And above all, under what conditions did this recombination take place? The truth shall rise to the surface.

          DIFFERENT STRAINS

          The new coronavirus, like all other viruses, mutates, or undergoes small changes in its genome. A recently published study suggested that the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, had already mutated into one more and one less aggressive strain. But experts aren’t convinced.

          In the study, a group of researchers in China analyzed the genomes of coronaviruses taken from 103 patients with COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak. The team found differences in the genomes, which they said could be categorized into two “strains” of the coronavirus: the “L” type and the “S” type, the researchers wrote in the study, which was published Tuesday (March 3) in the journal National Science Review.

          Resoure – https://academic.oup.com/nsr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nsr/nwaa036/5775463?searchresult=1

          The researchers found the “L” type, which they deemed the more aggressive type, in 70% of the virus samples. They also found that the prevalence of this strain decreased after early January. The more commonly found type today is the older, “S” type, because “human intervention” such as quarantines may have reduced the ability of the “L” type to spread, researchers wrote in the paper.

          Resoure – https://www.livescience.com/us-china-coronavirus-response.html

          However, Nathan Grubaugh, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health who was not part of the study, said the authors’ conclusions are “pure speculation.” For one thing, he said, the mutations the study authors referenced were incredibly small — on the order of a couple of nucleotides, the basic building blocks of genes, he said. (SARS-CoV-2 is about 30,000 nucleotides long).

          These slight changes likely wouldn’t have a major impact, if any at all, on the functioning of the virus, so it would be “inaccurate” to say that these differences mean there are different strains, he said. In addition, the researchers looked at only 103 cases. “It’s a very small sample set of the total virus population,” Grubaugh told Live Science. Figuring out the mutations that a virus underwent worldwide takes “a nontrivial amount of effort and sometimes takes years to complete,” he said.

          Other scientists agree. The finding that the coronavirus mutates into two strains with the L strain leading to more severe disease “is most likely a statistical artifact,” Richard Neher, a biologist and physicist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, wrote on Twitter. This statistical effect is probably due to early sampling of the L group in Wuhan, resulting in a “higher apparent” case fatality rates, he wrote.

          When there’s a rapidly growing local outbreak, scientists quickly sample the virus genomes from patients, resulting in the overrepresentation of some variants of the virus, Neher wrote. The authors of the paper acknowledge that the data in their study is “still very limited” and they need to follow-up with larger data sets to better understand how the virus is evolving, they wrote.

          “We shouldn’t worry.”

          Knowing that such papers would come out during this outbreak, Grubaugh published a commentary in the journal Nature Microbiology on Feb. 18. with the title “We shouldn’t worry when a virus mutates during disease outbreaks.”

          Resource – https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-0690-4

          The word mutation “naturally conjures fears of unexpected and freakish changes,” he wrote. “In reality, mutations are a natural part of the virus life cycle and rarely impact outbreaks dramatically.” RNA viruses, or those that have RNA as their main genetic material instead of DNA, including SARS-CoV-2, mutate constantly and do not have the mechanisms to fix these “mistakes,” as human cells do, for example.

          But most of these mutations negatively affect the virus. If mutations are not beneficial to the virus, they are typically eliminated through natural selection, the mechanism of evolution whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive. Other mutations survive and get embedded into the “average” genome of a virus.

          Typically, multiple genes code for traits such as a virus’s severity or ability to transmit to other people, Grubaugh wrote. So, for a virus to become more severe or transmit more easily, multiple genes would have to mutate. Despite high rates of mutation among viruses in general, it’s unusual to find viruses that change their mode of transmission between humans over such short time scales, he wrote.

          In fact, these mutations help scientists trace the steps of the virus, Grubaugh said.

          For example, a group of researchers in Brazil recently isolated SARS-CoV-2 from two patients confirmed to have COVID-19 and sequenced the complete genomes of both samples of the virus. They found that not only did the genomes differ from each other, but they were also very different from the genomes of the virus samples sequenced in Wuhan, China, the researchers wrote in a report that wasn’t peer-reviewed but published on a forum on Feb. 28.

          The coronavirus taken from one patient in Brazil had a genome similar to that of a virus sequenced in Germany, and the virus from the second patient resembled that of the coronavirus in the United Kingdom. That means these two patients are linked to cases in Europe but not to each other, Grubaugh said.


          RECOVERY RATES & MEDIA FEAR TACTICS

          Don’t let your fear rise when all the new cases are reported. They are being reported in increasing numbers because we are testing more. The death rate is continuing to decline. As of this writing (3/26/20), there have been 471,044 infected,  21,284 deaths and 114,228 recovered.  The death rate of COVID-19, or the number of known deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases, was over four percent for seven countries with more than 1,000 cases. Note, however, that the death rate is not the same as the mortality rate (which reflects the number of deaths based on an at-risk population). Initially, the US COVID-19 fatality rate was between 2-3%. Now it’s at 1.48% (As of 3/23/20).

          The media only sensationalizes the very ill and dying. The headline on MSN right now epitomizes the fear-based reporting by stating, “US Death Toll Rises…” It is a true headline as more have died over the last 24 hours. Perhaps a better headline could read, “Death rate for COVID-19 falls as more are tested.”

          The media and the Powers-That-Be would have you believe that this is the first-time coronavirus has ever infected humankind. That is simply not true. In fact, about 20% of common colds are caused by…coronavirus. (1) It is important to know that coronaviruses have been around for hundreds of years. I know this strain is different, but all viruses change (mutate) on a yearly basis. In fact, the influenza virus changes during every flu season.

          Folks, I know this is serious stuff. People have died and more will die but people die of diseases everyday. It is important to not let fear guide your decisions & emotions during this debacle.


          TESTING KITS

          Testing is important because we need the data to know how widespread the illness is and, more importantly, how deadly it is. Due to a lack of tests, the only people initially being tested were the hospitalized and the very ill. That skews the data to claim a higher mortality rate. Recall the average flu mortality rate is 0.1%. The initial US testing of coronavirus in the very ill revealed a death rate of approximately 2-4%. That is where the scare-mongering headlines claimed that coronavirus was 20-40x (2/0.1-4/0.1) more lethal than our usual influenza mortality rate.

          Even though we still don’t have enough test kits now, we are testing many more than we did a few weeks ago. As more and more tests are done, the number of positive cases will invariably rise which should lower the death rate further. That should calm some of the fear. We will never have fully accurate rates because we had a lack of tests at the beginning of this outbreak. Therefore the final mortality rate numbers will overstate the true rate.

           

          SEASONS CHANGING

          It is useful to observe disease patterns since many diseases consistently appear and disappear according to the calendar. One pattern that constantly repeats itself is that the flu season (for most) seems to start around the winter solstice (December 20-23) and ends around the spring equinox (March 19-21). This year the spring equinox was on March 20, 2020. The peak month of activity can change between the months of January, February and March. People get less colds and other influenza-like illnesses around the spring equinox. Some go into April and few go into May with viral infections, but they are usually fewer and fewer the further away from the spring solstice date. Coronaviruses do not like warm temperatures and higher humidity. As we warm in the spring, that should help. Remember to get sunlight over your whole body if possible.


          ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF) – FIFTH GENERATION (5G) CELL TOWERS CONNECTION

          Despite all the health warnings, 5G is currently being rolled out worldwide. Our eyes are (conveniently?) off the ball. No one is paying any attention to the roll out. Anyone might think the 5G roll out is not that important. Yet hundreds of prominent scientists and health experts have been warning us that when 5G is switched on, people will start dropping on the streets dying.

          The 5G system is a WiGig wireless network that operates in the 60GHz spectrum with a download speeds of up to 10 Gbps compared to the 4G download speed of 10 Mbps. The frequency of 60 GHz is the frequency at which oxygen molecules oscillate. At 60 GHz, 98% of the transmitted 5G energy will be absorbed by atmospheric oxygen which then alters the orbital properties of the electrons of the oxygen molecules. ’60GHz is the frequency of oxygen molecule absorption’.

          Oxygen molecules have electrons that they share with each other, oxygen is a diatomic molecule. What we breathe are two oxygen molecules bonded together with the electrons that they share.” When the oxygen molecule is hit with 60GHz 5G waves, these waves affect the orbital resonance properties of those shared electrons.

          It is those shared electrons that bind to the hemoglobin in our blood. When the oxygen is disrupted, it will no longer bind to the hemoglobin and myoglobin (oxygen carrying molecules) and therefore will not be able to carry oxygen to the cell’s powerhouse ‘mitochondria’. Without oxygen, the liver becomes congested and the body, and brain, begins to break down due to slow suffocation.

          Because the brain is the body organ most sensitive to the lack of oxygen, not getting enough oxygen to the brain will result in brain hypoxia. Brain hypoxia symptoms range from mild to severe.

          Mild Symptoms Include:

              • Cognitive Disturbance, Difficulty Paying Attention; Difficulty Making Sound Decisions
              • Temporary Memory Loss
              • Reduced Ability To Move Your Body
              • Severe Symptoms Include: Fainting; Seizure; Coma; Brain Death

           

          List of “Coincidences”

          In 2015, the first biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory was built in mainland China. The location of this lab is Wuhan.

          • Mandatory Vaccines were brought into effect just before the outbreak of the Virus:
            CHINA Vaccine Law. Mandatory Vaccinations starting December 1, 2019
            Did this all start from a vaccine program that wasn’t thoroughly tested, sources for laws below.
            https://www.loc.gov/law/foreign-news/article/china-vaccine-law-passed/
            Here is a more in-depth explanation of the law and its MANDATORY, BUT FREE, vaccine program

          • 5G is rolled out on 31st October 2019. This is Halloween. Some may consider there was no coincidence that Halloween is the chosen date!

          The Hubai province which encompasses Wuhan is chosen as the pilot area for the 5G roll out. So it begs the question, is it a coincidence that the very place a new virus breaks out just happens to be in the same place that G5 is rolled out? And is it just a coincidence that the virus is discovered only a couple of weeks after the 5G roll out?

          Weeks after 5G goes live in Wuhan, people start to get ill, people start to fall over. The hospitals can’t cope. What is going on? Reports from Chinese online bloggers state the authorities are very reluctant to acknowledge anything wrong.

          5G towers were installed all over Wuhan hospitals to ensure maximum strength to facilitate remote surgical operations. In January 2020 the authorities announce the discovery of a new novel virus which is making thousands of Wuhan residents sick.

          Authorities state that this new virus is not linked to the Wuhan BSL-4 lab although they acknowledge the lab is experimenting with the same Coronavirus that has been discovered in a food warehouse about 10 miles from the lab. How do they know this new virus is not linked to the Wuhan BSL-4 lab? Chinese scientist’s state they are sure the virus has somehow escaped from the lab. All online bloggers contradicting the authority’s official statements disappear.

          • Social media discovers a book titled “The Edge of Darkness” which was written in 1981 and is a thriller which has within its story line that in 2020, a severe pneumonia-like illness would spread across the world.

          The original book described the virus originating from Gorki Russia, with the virus named Gorki- 400. In 1989, the book is updated so that now the location of the virus’s origin is changed from Gorki to Wuhan with the virus now named Wuhan-400. Is this just a coincidence?

          Resource – https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dean-koontz-book-predicted-coronavirus

          • Soon after the outbreak, scientists from India write a paper declaring that the virus is definitely man-made. They come to this conclusion because they find that within the virus structure, 4 inserts of the HIV virus has been added to the template of the previous SARS virus.

          Resource – https://www.ccn.com/hiv-ebola-like-mutations-suggest-coronavirus-leaked-from-a-lab/

          The Indian scientist’s paper is immediately withdrawn from the internet and censored. At the same time an announcement by the World Health Organization (WHO) states the virus is a new virus, it is NOT a bio weapon that has escaped from the Wuhan BSL-4 lab and the virus has mutated from a wild animal, probably a bat.

          How can they be so certain?

          February 2020, the cruise ship Diamond Princess has a “Coronavirus” outbreak which appears to be spreading among the passengers. The cruise ship has recently been upgraded with 5G technology (WiGig New Wifi at 60GHz). The ships are quarantined. The longer passengers stay on the ship, more get infected. Is this because the virus is spreading or is it the 5G making them sick? Or could it be both?

          • Meanwhile in America, the rollout of a CDC-designed test kit in preparation for COVID-19 becomes a fiasco because the kits contain a faulty reagent. Labs around the country eager to test more suspected cases, and test them faster, are unable to do so. No commercial or state labs have the approval from the CDC to use their own tests. Only those showing obvious signs of the COVID-19 virus are tested. Is this a deliberate coincidence or just complete incompetence?

          Passengers from the previously quarantined cruise ship are allowed to travel back to America in a normal scheduled passenger flight. The CDC releases an infected person back into the community after making a mistake with their tests. Researchers show the CDC held back test kits for 4 weeks, and estimate the real amount or infected people in America to be in the thousands. Are the CDC deliberately trying to get as many people infected as possible?

          In order to create illusions, magician’s present one diversion to their audience while concealing their “trick”. Nobody notices the important movements happening right before their eyes because their attention has been diverted. This is commonly known as sleight of hand. Is the Covid-19 panic being used as a diversion to hide the fact 5G is the real problem we should be more concerned about?

          • Before the roll out of 5G, thousands of prominent scientists signed a petition with the following warning “We, the undersigned scientists, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry. 5G will substantially increase exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) abnd has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.”

          Resource – https://www.smart-safe.com/blogs/news/petition-26-000-scientists-oppose-5g-roll-out

          The scientists warning us of the grave dangers of 5G have been totally ignored. Despite the warnings, it is on record that not one dollar has been spent by the industry. No one has looked into any health and safety aspects of 5G before roll out. Could it be that certain powerful bodies of world authorities already know what the consequences of 5G are, and is the Coronavirus being used as a smokescreen to take our eyes away from the real monster that threatens humanity? Or worse! Is humanity being attacked not only with a deadly bio-weapon, but also with the radiation of 5G which can now be rolled out worldwide while no one can see all the horrific health consequences the 5G is causing, because any health consequences of 5G is being blamed on the Coronavirus?

          What Caused The 1918 “Spanish Influenza”?

          This is not the first time a scare about a viral pandemic has swept the world. We have previously heard predictions — none of which came true — that swine flu, bird flu, SARS, MERS, West Nile virus, Zika virus and Ebola were going to kill millions of people. Notably, all of these scares have occurred after the Internet replaced human contact as the predominant means of communication, and words and pictures on a screen replaced reality. Today, this has gone so far that people are finally willing to shut down the world rather than notice what is going on around them.

          do not pretend that there is no basis at all for these predictions. Behind all the hysteria is a fear that the catastrophe that was the “Spanish Influenza” of 1918-1921 will repeat itself. The 1918 flu, after all, sickened one-third of the world’s population and killed an estimated fifty million people.

          But there are a number of important facts about the 1918 flu that are not widely known:

              • The 1918 flu was not caused by a virus.
              • The 1918 flu was not contagious and did not spread by direct human-to-human contact.
              • The 1918 flu began on U.S. military bases where soldiers were being trained in wireless telegraphy. It spread throughout the world on ten thousand U.S. Navy ships equipped with state-of-the-art wireless stations. It became much more deadly in September 1918 when the first round-the-clock voice radio station powerful enough to be received in most parts of the world went on the air in New Brunswick, New Jersey in service of the U.S. war effort, thereby launching the modern era of radio communication.

          Efforts by doctors working for the U.S. Public Health Service to prove the contagious nature of the 1918 flu were heroic and resulted in resounding and repeated failure. In November and December 1918 and in February and March 1919, they attempted to infect one hundred healthy volunteers with influenza in the following ways:

              • They put secretions from the mouth, nose, throat and bronchi from hospitalized influenza patients into the nose, throat and eyes of volunteers;
              • They injected blood from sick patients into volunteers;
              • They filtered mucous material from sick patients and injected it under the skin of volunteers;
              • They had volunteers shake hands with sick patients, talk to them, faces close together, for five minutes, then had the patient breathe out as hard as he could while the volunteer, two inches away, was breathing in, then had the patient cough directly into the face of the volunteer, five times.

          None of the volunteers in any of these experiments got sick in any way.

          Similar attempts to infect healthy horses with secretions from horses sick with influenza resulted in the same resounding failure.

          These experiments, and other facts about the 1918 flu, as well as about influenza in general, are thoroughly discussed and documented in chapters 7, 8 and 9 of the book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life [AGB Press 2017, Chelsea Green 2020].

          Historically, influenza was an unpredictable disease that struck without warning and without a schedule and disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as it had arrived, not to be seen again for years or decades. It did not exist on this earth as an annual disease prior to the worldwide deployment of AC electricity for lights and power that occurred in 1889. Many of the doctors who were flooded with influenza in 1889 had never seen a case before. But influenza has not been absent anywhere on earth since.

          What is most difficult for people to let go of is the notion, so deeply engrained in our society, that a disease is the same as a bacteria or a virus. This way of looking at the world, as a battlefield instead of a community, is wrong. Yes, there is a respiratory virus associated with influenza. No, the virus does not cause the disease. Influenza is a neurological disease that can affect almost every organ, with or without respiratory symptoms. It is caused by electricity.

          Especially now, the world needs to know these things. Once it is understood that the 1918 flu was not caused by a virus and was not spread by contagion, but was instead caused by the sudden spread of radio communication throughout the world, the hysteria should die down and the world can get back to normal, and go about the necessary business of getting rid of wireless technology. Radio waves have sickened and killed more of humanity in the past century than all of the bacteria and viruses combined. Also heart disease, diabetes and cancer (chapters 11, 12 and 13 of The Invisible Rainbow) are caused primarily by the sea of radiation with which our cell phones, cell towers, radio towers, radar stations, security systems, baby monitors, wireless computers, and other wireless devices and infrastructure have flooded our precious and fragile world.

          The Coronavirus and 5G

          I have been asked if I think the coronavirus disease is caused by 5G, and my answer is: not directly. But the parallels to 1918 are striking. Remember, the 1918 flu was not caused by a virus but by the proliferation of radio technology, to such an extent as to modify the electromagnetic environment of the Earth itself. The first, mild wave of the flu in the winter, spring and summer of 1918 was caused by the proliferation of thousands of wireless telegraphy stations, each having a limited geographic range and operating for a limited number of hours per day. The second wave, which lasted three full years, sickening one-third of humanity and killing ten percent of those it sickened, was caused by an escalation of radio from telegraphy to voice, part time to full time, and short-range to planet-wide.

          That is parallel to what is happening today. 5G is escalating the radio assault on our planet to a new level, using much higher frequencies, much greater bandwidth, and much greater power levels. The first wave of the coronavirus has accompanied an enormous proliferation of 5G stations on the ground, each having a limited geographic range. This is shortly to be escalated from short-range to planet-wide, and from an indirect to a direct assault on the ionosphere, when thousands of 5G satellites go into operation this year and next.

          A clue to the electromagnetic nature of the present pandemic comes from an interesting observation: as many as two-thirds of the people who test positive for the coronavirus have lost their sense of smell, and often that is their only symptom and they are otherwise not sick.

          (Source 1).
          Loss of sense of smell is a classic sign of the disease that was called radio wave sickness in the former Soviet Union, and that is called electrical sensitivity today; often it is the only symptom of exposure to radio waves in otherwise healthy individuals [“Investigation of the Olfactory Sensitivity in Persons Subjected to the Influence of UHF,” Ye. A. Lobanova and Z. V. Gordon, in The Biological Action of Ultrahigh Frequencies, A. A. Letavet and Z. V. Gordon, eds., Moscow 1960, JPRS 12471, pp. 50-56].

          Another clue is the frequently reported effects of the coronavirus disease on the cardiovascular system, including “arrhythmias, hypotension, tachycardia, and a high proportion of concomitant cardiovascular disease in infected individuals.” This was reported on March 6, 2020 in Cardiology Magazine. These are also classic effects of exposure to radio waves.

          A third clue is the astonishing variation in the severity of the current pandemic, regardless of the measures taken by governments to prevent person-to-person contact. Why, for example, does Italy have 74,000 cases of coronavirus disease, and Japan only 1200? Eighty percent of the cases identified in Japan have not passed on the infection to anyone else. Tokyo, among the world’s most densely packed metropolitan areas with a population of 38 million, has almost no disease. This despite a nationwide quarantine and a shutdown of society in Italy, and few measures taken against the disease in Japan.

          There is no quarantine in Japan and bars, restaurants and clubs are busy and bustling. Temples are packed, and parks are filled with people viewing cherry blossoms. The subways are packed, and people are going to work, yet the disease does not spread. Granted their cultural standards of community hygiene are extremely high, but still Japan has close contact with China. They did not even stop incoming flights from Hubei until February 1. Japan has an older population than Italy, and a higher rate of tobacco smoking.

          The electrical nature of the disease would explain this too. Almost all of Japan is volcanic, and the electrical conductivity of the earth underneath Japan is higher than underneath most of Italy. Residents of Japan are therefore better grounded than residents of most of Italy, and are less affected by the radio waves around them. The volcanic regions of Italy — Sicily and Campania — have much lower rates of coronavirus than the rest of Italy. Patricia Ormsby, who lives in Japan, stated that when she is in the United States she can feel a cell phone from a distance of 6 meters, but when she is in Japan she does not feel a cell phone until it comes within 3 meters of her.

          Regardless of the origin or severity of the respiratory virus that is called COVID-19, the rollout of 5G is playing a large role in the current pandemic. Fear, social isolation and the shutdown of society are doing far more damage to the fabric of life than the virus ever could. It is time for society to get over its obsession with this microorganism and to turn to the emergency posed by wireless technology, on Earth and in space.

          More Satellites Launched!!!

          On Wednesday, March 18, SpaceX launched 60 more satellites into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida, bringing the total of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites orbiting the earth to 350.

          Also on March 18, OneWeb launched 34 more satellites into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, bringing the total of OneWeb’s satellites orbiting the earth to 74.

          None of these satellites have yet gone into operation, but on March 13, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission granted SpaceX permission to sell one million user devices to American customers. This has turned a long-standing concern into an emergency. For last fall, SpaceX announced its intention to begin providing 5G service to the northern United States and southern Canada after it had at least 400 satellites orbiting the earth. The threat to terrestrial life — at least in portions of North America — may now be only weeks away.

          I have summarized the threat to life posed by SpaceX in previous newsletters but it bears repeating. The energy for life is provided not only by the food we eat and the air we breathe, but by the electricity that we imbibe from earth and sky, which circulates through our acupuncture meridians, feeding our organs from the day we are born until the day we die.

          The source of the electricity that sustains us and circulates through our bodies is the earth’s own source of high voltage: the ionosphere. If we pollute that source with millions of pulsed, modulated frequencies, we will destroy all life on the surface of the Earth, including the birds in the sky and the fish in the oceans. And since they will all be orbiting in the ionosphere, that is exactly what all these satellites will do.

          Astronomers study the circulation of energy between the sun and the ionosphere. Atmospheric physicists study the global electrical circuit between the ionosphere and the earth. Doctors of Oriental Medicine study the circulation of energy within our bodies. Geophysicists are studying the effects of power line radiation on the ionosphere. But nobody is looking at the whole picture. Nobody is asking what the massive pollution of this source of energy will do to the community of life that it nourishes.

          Experience with Iridium (now operating 66 satellites) and Globalstar (now operating 48 satellites) tells us that the extinction of life will not be gradual. If thousands of satellites are turned on at once, it will be sudden and devastating. If service begins with only hundreds of satellites to a limited part of the world, and increases to global coverage from thousands of satellites next year, it may be a little less sudden but the end result — the extinction of most life — will be the same.

          ASTROLOGY by Gahl E. Sasson

          A famous legend (which might have a kernel of truth) tells of how the great mystic, philosopher, and mathematician, Pythagoras, could hear the “music of the spheres,” which helped him come up with the musical scale. It was believed in Ancient Greek, the birthplace of the astrological natal chart, that the stars orbit in perfect harmony, which manifest to those who posses a keen third ear, as the music of the spheres. But sometimes, even in great harmonious musical compositions, there is a need for a few dissonances, like hitting two adjacent tones, which create a moment of tension and spice the music. The spread of the COVID – 19 virus is such a dissonance. A dis-aster written in the stars…

          Today’s news are nothing but tomorrow’s history. History is our collective memory that has the ability, once used wisely, to not only predict, but also help change the future. The best way to study history is by tracing and identifying cycles. This is of course, where astrology comes handy. Over thousands of years, astrology developed an elaborate system of cycles based on the orbits of the planets and their empirical connections to events that took place on earth.

          Gahl E. Sasson published a book, 2020 The Leap of Faith: The Dawning of a New World, in October 2019. In the intro I mention: What is 2020 planning for us considering that the last few times the Pluto/Saturn conjunction took place, the AIDS epidemic broke out, the Cold War started, and World War I began?

          In Jan 12 only two days after an amplifying eclipse, Pluto, the planet associated with death, and Saturn, the planet of harsh lessons, came together for the first time since 1982-1983. Here is an excerpt from my book relating to conjunction and what took place last time these two cosmic bodies danced their deadly tango on earth:

          1982 / 1983: The rise of conservatives in the US (Ronald Reagan) and in the UK (Margaret Thatcher) and the escalation of the Cold War. The US suffers a severe recession with the unemployment rate at 12 million, the worst since the Great Depression. Ethiopia suffers the worst drought in history and over 4 million die of hunger.

          In 1982, the CDC identified a new epidemic as AIDS and in 1983 the World Health Organization (WHO) held its first meeting to discuss the global AIDS situation. [Side note, this could mean that in 2020 there will be major breakthroughs with AIDS medication or eradication.] Time Magazine chooses “The Computer” as the person of the year and Microsoft Word is launched, Motorola introduces the first mobile phones. Themes: technological and communication breakthrough, slowdown in economy, epidemics.

          As you can see, this year we are still facing the danger of global recession, and hunger (if the virus strikes Africa severely). Here is an excerpt from the end of the chapter of the conjunction:

          We can infer from these precedents that old structures, financial or political, tend to collapse and change rapidly, giving space for something new. There is also a disturbing theme of original new ways of dying (Pluto), whether from unidentified viruses, poisonous gas, trench warfare, crazed dancing, or climate (drought). Knowing these pitfalls, it is our duty in our personal lives, as well as socially, to fight our tendency to fear for ourselves while neglecting others. Saturn is the Lord of Karma, as in action and reaction. Therefore, our actions and reactions (Saturn) to whatever Pluto (death and transformation) brings, can determine the outcome on a personal as well as global level.

          The stress level, anxiety as well as the spread of the disease might have been “facilitated” by Mercury’s retrograde motion in Pisces, a wet sign (virus spreads through droplets produced by infected people) which is also the sign of the immune and lymphatic systems.

          Mercury goes direct March 11 and will move out of Pisces and into Aries, a fire sign, in April 11, which should bring relief.

          Another aspect that could help is Uranus transit which facilitates medical inventions (vaccination) and new scientific discoveries. But again, much of our problems are caused by us, even the spread of this deadly virus.

          Scientists supposedly were very close to a vaccine against the virus a few years ago but investment dried up. This is very similar to what is happening again now with drug makers who are developing new antibiotics, are finding their funding cut off and then file for bankruptcy. Short-sightedness is one of humanity’s greatest faults.

          Since the spread started around the Jan eclipses, there is a chance it will continue (or its effects) until the next set of eclipses in June/July. The eclipse on June 21 is worrisome since it affects Africa, Middle East and China. The ellipse on July 4, right on US birthday, fittingly falls right on the US. So 2020 still holds some nasty surprises.

          In addition, Saturn is moving into Aquarius, an air sign, from March 22 until the end of June. Aquarius is the sign of large gatherings, corporations, government, and groups. Having Saturn in Aquarius can further disrupt large events, conferences, as well as the functioning of the government and its much needed coordinated response. Saturn in Aquarius can disrupt air travel and airlines in general not to mention that the virus travels by air. So until June we can expect it to get rougher.

          I also feel that businesses including large corporations will change their rules and allow people to work from home, which in the long run could be a positive outcome of the terrible disease. Saturn in Aquarius, which happens every ~30 years changes the way we relate to one another. After all, in 1991, last time Saturn visited Aquarius, a computer programmer in Switzerland, Time Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web and changed forever the way humans around the world interact with each other. This same breakthrough can happen March 22 – July 2020, and then in 2021 and 2022.

          In traditional astrology, Mars (war) and Saturn (challenges) were always associated with plagues. From mid Feb, Mars has been in Capricorn where it is the most potent and in conjunction with Saturn who is also in Capricorn, its own sign. Usually we look for Jupiter for help but he is also trapped in Capricorn, which happened to be his sign of fall, meaning, Jupiter has his own issues to deal with. Just a reminder, in 2008, the onset of the Great Recession, Pluto moved into Capricorn and that year was also the last cycle of Jupiter in Capricorn. Oh Jove, where art thou when we need you?

          Mars and Saturn are on and off in conjunction until mid-April so, again, it seems that there might be some containment, at least in some locations around mid April. Just remember that the flu season in the southern hemisphere begins in June, right when the next sets of eclipses (June 4 and 21) begin.

          As Gahl mentions in his book on 2020, this year is starful and handful. In numerology, 2020 is reduced to number 4 (2+0+2+0), which in Chinese is homophones to the word “death.” That is why many buildings in China “do not” profess to have a 4th or 14th or 40th floor.

          But 2020 also adds up to 22 which is a Master Number and in numerology is often referred to as a Master Builder. In Kabbalah, it is believed that God created the universe using the 22 Hebrew letters, and there are 22 Major Arcana in the Tarot cards that depict the journey of the Fool. So, yes, there is death this year, but there is also the potential in building a new world order, which embraces unity and collaboration between countries and nation. Viruses are not racists, homophobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, bigot, or antisemitic.

          The virus parasite finds its host among believers and unbelievers, young and old. It gives us a chance to learn how we are all connected, and how we can come together to defeat it. COVID-19 is the common enemy that unites us. Alas, it is not only us who are quarantined physically mentally and soon financially.

          We are there with 007. How ironic that the release of the latest James Bond called “No Time to Die,” was delayed six months. What Dr No could not do, the Corona Virus did.

          Soak up the health, happiness and a joyous full moon in Pisces (March 9), the last full moon of the zodiac year, the best time to let go of what you do not want to bring into the next 12 months.


          NURTURING YOUR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING WHILE “SOCIAL DISTANCING”

          As you tend to your body and support your immune systems, please make sure you’re also nurturing your emotional health. With more time at home we don’t want to underestimate the importance of taking care of our own mental and emotional well-being. You would not be alone if during this unique time you found yourself feeling all sorts of emotions that may or may not be typical for you.

          Some feel grateful for time off, others feel anxious; some find themselves impatient with family, and naturally many feel concerned. It’s all so understandable given what we are living through right now. Many people don’t have their jobs and commute to occupy their time and the increased family time is an adjustment.  Even the dog I live with looked at me the other day as if to say “When are you leaving…I need my nap.”

          With that being said, here are just a few things I invite you to explore doing to support your mental and emotional health:

            1. Keep Your Practice And Other Helpful Rituals – Regardless of what the day brings I have made a choice that I will meditate, do
            2. some sort of activity (yoga, jogging or hiking) and reading books that inspire and center me.
            3. It’s very easy when we’re knocked off our typical routines to do things that may not support our mental health such as turning the TV on right away or being consumed by social media.  Naturally we went to stay current with what’s happening but perhaps be mindful of how much TV time you have and when.
            4. In fact, on Thursday when I noticed my excessive snacking I realized that I needed to put the snack down and make sure that  I engage in my practice(s) no matter what – not just when I “feel like it”.   Our minds can be sneaky and talk us out of things.
            5. Don’t take NO for an answer.  We need things right now that ground us and help us maintain a clear and heart centered focus.
            6. Reach Out – This time frame has revealed to me just how much we all count on, thrive on, human connection. Despite all the social media outlets that we certainly rely on for our day to day functioning, it has become obvious that face to face exchanges (even if brief) of love, care, concern and connection are vital.  So, create a “tea time” with a friend or family member.  Call you Mom, your Grandmother and/or take time to write some handwritten letters.
            7. Take Time To Express Care And Gratitude Daily – A virus can’t stop our expressions of love, understanding and thoughtfulness. And if we’re really honest with ourselves, isn’t that ultimately what we all want anyway?  Love and kindness for another can help transform major challenges into a time of healing, learning and deeper awareness.  As we all know, when we shift our body chemistry into a state of love and gratitude, for even the simplest things, our immune systems are strengthened in the process.
            8. Journal – Journaling is an amazing tool that’s free and available to you anywhere and everywhere!
            9. Clean & Organize! – Deep clean your home and catch up on your creative project list around the inside and outside of the home. Maybe even start a garden.
            10. Spa It Up! – Have a spa day here and there. Take those epsom salt baths or give yourself a face mask. No one wants to start socializing again feeling like a cave man or woman!

          Don’t stress and make some time for sunshine, fresh air, and nature. Viruses are pH sensitive. Stress makes your body a place where they’re more likely to thrive. https://drsircus.com/general/viruses-are-ph-sensitive/

          So as you tend to your body and support your immune systems please make sure you’re also nurturing your mental and emotional health. Personally, I don’t consider it optional.


          FEARLESS PRECAUTIONS

          First, let’s talk about the difference between taking precautions with fear and taking them without fear. Those of you who drive, what precaution do you take without fear? Putting your seatbelt on. I put my seatbelt on every time I drive. Am I in fear when I do this? Nope. No fear. I just take the precaution. You can take precautions without being in fear.

          Either if you consciously choose to self isolate or you are mandated to quarantine, you can do it from a place of fear or you can do so from a place without fear. Drop down & stay in your heart. Follow your inner knowing. Now is a great time to learn D-I-Y self muscle testing (instruction & explanation video – http://www.livingbliss.me/learning-intuition/key-practices/muscle-testing-self ). Just because someone makes a different choice than you do, that doesn’t mean fear is involved. Use that figurative seatbelt when you feel you need too.


          FINAL THOUGHTS

          This crisis will pass. When it does, we need new leadership at CDC, FDA, and HHS.

          They have all failed us. At least a few Senators cashed in and sold their stocks before this debacle. Good for them. (Of course, repeat that last line with lots of sarcasm.) You don’t have to wait for the Government to come to your rescue. You need to take matters into your own hands. Your immunity is your responsibility!
