The Truth About Taking Zinc to Boost Your Immune System

You’re probably hearing a lot about zinc supplements right now. It’s become a very popular way to boost your immunity. But do they really work?

For years, scientists have conducted studies on zinc. And for years they’ve gotten conflicting results. Some studies showed that zinc works. And some studies showed it doesn’t.

But recently, one group of researchers conducted a meta analysis of all the published studies on zinc. They discarded any studies with poor methodology. What they were left with were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies totaling 1,387 participants.

The researchers looked at all the different factors that could have affected the outcome of the studies – what kind of zinc, what form it was in, what dose… everything. When all was said and done, they finally had some answers about zinc that made sense.

Here’s what they discovered…

The BEST Form of Zinc You Should Take
There are several kinds of zinc that you can take. But only two kinds of zinc are actually shown to be effective.

The best kind is Zinc Acetate. It’s the only kind of zinc that consistently slashes the duration of symptoms in half. Zinc Gluconate was the second best choice, but zinc acetate worked much better.

None of the other kinds of zinc were effective.

Why are zinc acetate and zinc gluconate effective and other kinds aren’t? Because they both release zinc in the form of a positively charged ion. The ionic form is what makes the difference in whether zinc can work or not.

How does ionic zinc work? Well, ionic zinc helps your white blood cells fight. It boosts their production of interferon-gamma, which is your body’s primary defense.

Ionic zinc also stops invaders from spreading in your body. You see, invaders get into your cells by attaching to a microscopic molecule that moves between cells. The molecule is called ICAM-1. And if an invader attaches to it, ICAM-1 smuggles it inside the cell. Ionic zinc blocks this process and stops invaders from entering and infecting your cells.

And finally, ionic zinc helps minimize stuffiness, congestion, sneezing and a runny nose. How? It inhibits the release of histamines that trigger those symptoms. In other words, it behaves just like the things some people take when they want to get rid of a runny, stuffy, congested nose.

Once researchers learned that ionic zinc was more effective than non-ionic zinc, they wanted to know which compound was best at releasing zinc in its ionic form. They wanted to know what dose was effective. And they wanted to know which form was best.

As I mentioned above, they discovered that Zinc Acetate was best. Zinc acetate releases 100% of the zinc in an ionic form. Zinc gluconate was second best. It only releases 70% of its zinc in the ionic form.

The researchers also found that you need at least 75 mg of zinc acetate a day. And finally, they found that zinc is only effective when invaders are exposed to zinc for at least 20 minutes at a time.

Since zinc needs 20 minutes of exposure… pills, syrups, or sprays aren’t very effective. You need slow-dissolving tablets that release the zinc right where the invaders are.

Here’s What You Don’t Want In Your Zinc Remedy
Other common forms of zinc (zinc citrate, zinc glycinate, and zinc tartrate) release little to no ionic zinc. As a result, they are not effective.

And don’t be fooled by combinations, either. If you choose a product that combines zinc gluconate and zinc glycinate, you’re wasting your money.

Not only do you get less zinc gluconate per dose, the glycine interferes with the release of ionic zinc from the zinc gluconate. Only 57% of zinc is released in ionic form. That’s way less than the 70% released by zinc gluconate on its own.

And it’s even worse when manufacturers combine zinc gluconate with zinc citrate, zinc aspartate, or zinc tartrate. These combinations result in 0% of the zinc being released in ionic form. That’s right – zero. No wonder so many of these zinc remedies don’t work!

And finally, when you’re selecting lozenges, check for palm kernel oil and cottonseed oil. If either of these oils are in the ingredient list, don’t buy them. Why? Because they bind to zinc during the manufacturing process and prevent it from being released in ionic form.

Suddenly all of these conflicting study results make sense, right? As soon as I read the meta-study, I knew exactly what kind of zinc to recommend to my patients and readers – zinc acetate.

COVID-19 Breakthrough Case Investigations and Reporting

 

The CDC’s definition of Breakthrough Case: “A person who has SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen detected on a respiratory specimen collected =14 days after completing the primary series of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.”

(Tom: Which is completely erroneous as according to a video I saw last week of the head of the FDA, the FDA have not and will not authorise the use of any current COVID shot as they have not been fully tested. They are an experimental medical intervention approved for emergency use.)

Tom’s definition: A breakthrough case is an incident of infection or disease in a person vaccinated against that infection or disease.

From the CDC web site:

“As previously announced, CDC is transitioning to reporting only patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection that were hospitalized or died to help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. That change in reporting will begin on May 14, 2021. In preparation for that transition, the number of reported breakthrough cases will not be updated on May 7, 2021.”

(Tom: A high number of reported breakthrough cases might turn people off getting a shot. The easy way to fix the problem is to stop counting the vast majority of breakthrough cases! And to counter the PF line that people who receive the COVID shot cannot shed the spike protein:)

“Like with other vaccines, symptomatic vaccine breakthrough cases will occur, even though the vaccines are working as expected… …Asymptomatic infections among vaccinated people also will occur.”

So, there you have it. If you don’t like the results, change the counting criteria.

48-Year-Old Surgeon DEAD after Mocking “Anti-vaxxers” and Writing His Own Obituary after Moderna COVID Injections

Thomas Lee Flanigan

A 48-year-old plastic surgeon is dead in a story that demonstrates the limitless levels of surrealism when it comes to these experimental shots and government/media narratives.

Dr. Thomas Flanigan received the first dose of experimental Moderna mRNA on January 6, according to his Facebook page. He received the second dose on February 3.

Sometime thereafter (it’s unclear exactly when), he wrote his own obituary, in the same mocking fashion as the foregoing Facebook post. It is reminiscent of the Polish doctor we wrote about in February. But the surrealism surrounding this story is unmatched compared to any other story we’ve written thus far.

First, none of the media outlets that covered this story (except the New York Post) mentioned that Dr. Flanigan received experimental Moderna mRNA shots in January and February. However, the Post, like the other outlets, wrote that his cause of death is “not clear.” Second, the headlines are practically celebrating his death, perhaps in an attempt to deflect attention away from the Moderna shots.

Here are some excerpts from the obituary:

Well, that’s it. I have completed my shift as the great American cliché. In the spirit of what turned out to be my last New Year’s letter, my wild and crazy life has again taken a new, unexpected turn with my shocking and unexpected, yet fabulous, exit. Yes, I have joined the likes of Princess Diana, John Belushi, and Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter in leaving while still at the top of my game as an iconic superhero who seemed almost too good to be true.

I will admit that I originally got married for the husband jokes and had kids for the dad jokes. It did not disappoint. The jokes I mean, but Amy and the kids were pretty good too.

I know it’s impossible to believe, but I, the Ginger God of Surgery and Shenanigans, have fought my last cow (you’re welcome Tim) and ridden off into the glorious sunset after re-enlisting with a new unit. Due to the unknown and cosmic nature of my next mission, this will be our last communication. My whereabouts are now top secret, but let’s just say I have made some new friends by the names of Elvis and Kenny.

(Tom: Slightly disappointing that he either did not draw the link between his shots and death or was not courageous enough to warn others of the dangers. Or, of course it could just be a coincidence. Just like the other 4,177 Americans, 1,047 Brits and 8,430 Europeans who died shortly after receiving their COVID shot. Over 13,000 coincidences. That’s a lot of coincidences!)

 

Salk Institute science paper reveals the covid spike protein is what’s causing deadly blood clots… and it’s in all the covid vaccines

Spike Protein In COVID Shots Killing

The prestigious Salk Institute, founded by vaccine pioneer Jonas Salk, has authored and published a bombshell scientific article revealing that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is what’s actually causing vascular damage in covid patients and covid vaccine recipients, promoting the strokes, heart attacks, migraines, blood clots and other harmful reactions that have already killed thousands of Americans and many more Europeans.

Truth Suppressed

Truth Suppressed

I was wondering why more medical people were not speaking out. I guess a $100,000 slap on the wrist is a fairly significant disincentive!

I am reminded of a meme I shared a week or so back:
Truth does not mind being questioned.
A lie does not like being challenged.

Why the Disconnect?

About all the reported injuries and deaths from the currently topical j@b, a social media commenter wrote:

“Can I ask???? WHY IS THIS NOT ALL OVER THE NEWS??? WHO IS HIDING ALL These FACTS????”

I responded: The hiding of the facts is a coordinated ignoring and suppressing of the truth. Most news outlets are subsidiaries of 6 conglomerates who derive a big percentage of their revenue from big pHarma. So deaths and injuries from jabs, being detrimental to their sponsors, are given no or disproportionately little air time and are minimalised as being “under investigation”, denigrated as being “not linked to the shot” or “a very small risk”.

Have you ever seen a mashup of the exact same verbiage sprouted by literally dozens of talking heads on the topic of the day? The script is written, distributed and followed by the talking heads reading it to the undiscerning masses who swallow it whole without pausing (or being able) to spot the illogics and inconsistencies and without being exposed to alternative data with which to go, “Hang on a minute!”

Another person on the same group wrote: My liberal friend said “I haven’t seen anything about vaccine deaths or injuries.” so I pulled up my 2 telegram groups of covid-19 vaccine victims and awareness and handed it to him and he refused to look at the articles. He refused to look. What a good little communist not even looking at things the government censors. Not even looking at things the government doesn’t want you to look at. They don’t even have to threaten these people. They obay voluntarily without threats. Its fantastic brainwashing. The liberals will not even look at opposing articles from different people and different sources. Unbelievable.

I replied: People’s worst ability is the ability to confront evil. One has to be willing to actually and honestly LOOK to see what is there in order to survive, flourish and prosper. If one cannot LOOK and see and accurately label what one sees then one is, to a greater or lesser degree, operating outside the truth in an unreal fantasy world. Sooner or later, living in a fantasy word different from reality brings one to an untimely end.

Despite the fact that man is basically good, some people’s goodness is well buried under a pile of evil and destructive intentions, actions and products.

Only a small percentage (20-25%) of us are destructively insane but those make a lot of trouble for the rest of us. One needs to have the tools to be able to spot them for what they are, know the masks they hide behind and their tools for obfuscation, misdirection and how they otherwise escape accurate identification of them and their motives.

When you have the tools and use them to protect yourself, the next responsibility is to help others to learn and apply them till we get to a point where the destructively insane have no power to influence others and they can then be helped out of their sorry state to sanity and personal freedom.

Appealing to the Remnant Rather Than The Masses

This is a resoundingly good listen for those who are aware and who despair of the masses and their inability to look and observe truth.
