Unfortunately he is talking a bit dispersed as if he has not had enough sleep and has not yet learned to explain the concepts without the technical jargon. As an aside, if you have any doubts at all of the corruption level at the WHO, FDA and CDC go to the 1:35:00 mark.<\/p>\n<p>The executive summary is that Vitamin B3, Niacin, is similar in its result to vitamin D3. If you have enough of it in your system, all other things being equal, you are as good as immune to Covid.<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>(OMNS June 22, 2020) If we act on the data showing that it is highly probable that vitamin D can save lives, we could fix this pandemic in a month, for perhaps $2 per person. There would be no significant adverse effects. If we wait for &#8220;evidence&#8221; that vitamin D mitigates the impact of COVID-19, thousands more will die. If we could arrange to give everyone vitamin D, and it failed to protect them, so what? The risk from not acting is much greater than the risk from acting. Dosage is important and generally misunderstood.<\/p>\n<p>Two countries have acted on this already: Egypt and Slovenia. Why can&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service has been publicizing the importance of vitamins D and C, and the minerals zinc and magnesium, in this pandemic since January [1]. I have been writing about Vitamin D and sunlight for over 30 years [2], and it has never been more relevant.<\/p>\n<p>If you caught the COVID19 virus right now, having a good vitamin D status (from already having taken a supplement) would<\/p>\n<p>Reduce your risk of the disease becoming severe by 90%<br \/>Reduce your risk of dying by 96%<\/p>\n<p>This is not &#8220;proven&#8221; or &#8220;evidence-based&#8221; until we have done controlled trials comparing it to placebo. Any volunteers for that? But the data, already strong, has been pouring in since the start of the pandemic. Here&#8217;s the data for the two statements above.<\/p>\n<p>Recent studies have suggested in discussion that more than 4000 IU per day of vitamin D3 may carry a risk of harm, citing the UK Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition report of 2016 which set the recommended Upper Level (UL) intakes of 50mcg\/2000IU per day. [10] That report says; &#8220;Excessive vitamin D intakes have, however, been shown to have toxic effects (Vieth, 2006)&#8221;. [10] However this is misleading, as the Vieth paper [11] states: &#8220;Published reports suggest toxicity may occur with 25(OH)D concentrations beyond 500 nmol\/L.&#8221; This leaves a wide margin of safety.<\/p>\n<p>(Tom: I watched a video presentation on vitamin D3 given by the world&#8217;s most experienced researcher who said 40,000 IU a day of D3 produces NO toxicity. Personally I would add some K2 to minimize the possibility of hardening of the arteries.)<\/p>\n<p>The 3 papers mentioned above [3-5] show that a vitamin D3 blood level of at least 75 nmol\/L (30 ng\/ml) is needed for protection against COVID-19. Government recommendations for vitamin D intake &#8211; 400 IU\/day for the UK and 600 IU\/day for the USA (800 IU for &gt;70 years) and the EU &#8211; are based primarily on bone health. This is woefully inadequate in the pandemic context. An adult will need to take 4000 IU\/day of vitamin D3 for 3 months to reliably achieve a 75 nmol\/L level [12]. Persons of color may need twice as much [13]. These doses can reduce the risk of infection, but are not for treatment of an acute viral infection. And since vitamin D is fat-soluble and its level in the body rises slowly, for those with a deficiency, taking a initial dose of 5-fold the normal dose (20,000 IU\/day) for 2 weeks can help to raise the level up to an adequate level to lower infection risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orthomolecular.activehosted.com\/index.php\">https:\/\/orthomolecular.activehosted.com\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Subsequent analysis reveals people taking Vitamin D3 daily who have blood levels of 50 ng\/ml or greater have ZERO risk of dying from Covid. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/?p=36387\">https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/?p=36387<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>(Added 13 May 2020)<\/p>\n<p>I have added two more treatment protocols from doctors who are successfully saving lives with them.<\/p>\n<p>(Added 24 April 2020)<br \/>This is a superb video by two experienced doctors currently on the front line, treating pateients with COVID-19.

The \u201cconventional\u201d theory, completely unproven, that it is purely a transmissible infection.<\/p>\n<p>2. A virus is waste product of toxic cells and cannot be transmitted from one person to another.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0954611120301669\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0954611120301669<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. The virus is irrelevant \u2013 the symptoms are reproducible by making the body more acidic.<\/p>\n<p>4. It is not a virus at all, it is a response to EMF frequencies or pollution. (Even with an electron microscope a virus can be indistinguishable from an exosome without which our cells are much more vulnerable to attack. In an interview Andrew Kaufman M.D. blows the COVID-19 scamdemic wide open and shares some remarkable data from 3 experiments done in America with the 1918 Spanish Flu that showed the virus was not transmissible by any of the three methods tried.<\/p>\n<p>I see elements of truth and holes in each theory. For instance the non-transmissable theory does not explain why the highest rate of deaths is among people in nursing homes exposed to coronavirus infected people.<\/p>\n<p>Which means we have not gotten to the bottom of it.

Just like any cold and flu.<\/p>\n<p>Article as written by LibertyMavenstock:<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 had us all fooled, but now we might have finally found its secret<\/p>\n<p>In the last 3\u20135 days, a mountain of anecdotal evidence has come out of NYC, Italy, Spain, etc. about COVID-19 and characteristics of patients who get seriously ill. It\u2019s not only piling up but now leading to a general field-level consensus backed up by a few previously little-known studies that we\u2019ve had it all wrong the whole time. Well, a few had some things eerily correct (cough Trump cough), especially with Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromicin, but we\u2019ll get to that in a minute.<\/p>\n<p>There is no \u2018pneumonia\u2019 nor ARDS. At least not the ARDS with established treatment protocols and procedures we\u2019re familiar with. Ventilators are not only the wrong solution, but high pressure intubation can actually wind up causing more damage than without, not to mention complications from tracheal scarring and ulcers given the duration of intubation often required\u2026 They may still have a use in the immediate future for patients too far to bring back with this newfound knowledge, but moving forward a new treatment protocol needs to be established so we stop treating patients for the wrong disease.<\/p>\n<p>The past 48 hours or so have seen a huge revelation: COVID-19 causes prolonged and progressive hypoxia (starving your body of oxygen) by binding to the heme groups in hemoglobin in your red blood cells. People are simply desaturating (losing o2 in their blood), and that\u2019s what eventually leads to organ failures that kill them, not any form of ARDS or pneumonia. All the damage to the lungs you see in CT scans are from the release of oxidative iron from the hemes, this overwhelms the natural defenses against pulmonary oxidative stress and causes that nice, always-bilateral ground glass opacity in the lungs. Patients returning for re-hospitalization days or weeks after recovery suffering from apparent delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy strengthen the notion COVID-19 patients are suffering from hypoxia despite no signs of respiratory \u2018tire out\u2019 or fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the breakdown of the whole process, including some ELI5-level cliff notes. Much has been simplified just to keep it digestible and layman-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Your red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to all your organs and the rest of your body. Red blood cells can do this thanks to hemoglobin, which is a protein consisting of four \u201chemes\u201d. Hemes have a special kind of iron ion, which is normally quite toxic in its free form, locked away in its center with a porphyrin acting as it\u2019s \u2018container\u2019. In this way, the iron ion can be \u2018caged\u2019 and carried around safely by the hemoglobin, but used to bind to oxygen when it gets to your lungs.<\/p>\n<p>When the red blood cell gets to the alveoli, or the little sacs in your lungs where all the gas exchange happens, that special little iron ion can flip between FE2+ and FE3+ states with electron exchange and bond to some oxygen, then it goes off on its little merry way to deliver o2 elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where COVID-19 comes in. Its glycoproteins bond to the heme, and in doing so that special and toxic oxidative iron ion is \u201cdisassociated\u201d (released). It\u2019s basically let out of the cage and now freely roaming around on its own. This is bad for two reasons:<\/p>\n<p>1) Without the iron ion, hemoglobin can no longer bind to oxygen. Once all the hemoglobin is impaired, the red blood cell is essentially turned into a Freightliner truck cab with no trailer and no ability to store its cargo.. it is useless and just running around with COVID-19 virus attached to its porphyrin. All these useless trucks running around not delivering oxygen is what starts to lead to desaturation, or watching the patient\u2019s spo2 levels drop. It is INCORRECT to assume traditional ARDS and in doing so, you\u2019re treating the WRONG DISEASE. Think of it a lot like carbon monoxide poisoning, in which CO is bound to the hemoglobin, making it unable to carry oxygen. In those cases, ventilators aren\u2019t treating the root cause; the patient\u2019s lungs aren\u2019t \u2018tiring out\u2019, they\u2019re pumping just fine. The red blood cells just can\u2019t carry o2, end of story. Only in this case, unlike CO poisoning in which eventually the CO can break off, the affected hemoglobin is permanently stripped of its ability to carry o2 because it has lost its iron ion. The body compensates for this lack of o2 carrying capacity and deliveries by having your kidneys release hormones like erythropoietin, which tell your bone marrow factories to ramp up production on new red blood cells with freshly made and fully functioning hemoglobin. This is the reason you find elevated hemoglobin and decreased blood oxygen saturation as one of the 3 primary indicators of whether the shit is about to hit the fan for a particular patient or not.<\/p>\n<p>2) That little iron ion, along with millions of its friends released from other hemes, are now floating through your blood freely. As I mentioned before, this type of iron ion is highly reactive and causes oxidative damage. It turns out that this happens to a limited extent naturally in our bodies and we have cleanup &amp; defense mechanisms to keep the balance. The lungs, in particular, have 3 primary defenses to maintain \u201ciron homeostasis\u201d, 2 of which are in the alveoli, those little sacs in your lungs we talked about earlier. The first of the two are little macrophages that roam around and scavenge up any free radicals like this oxidative iron. The second is a lining on the walls (called the epithelial surface) which has a thin layer of fluid packed with high levels of antioxidant molecules.. things like abscorbic acid (AKA Vitamin C) among others. Well, this is usually good enough for naturally occurring rogue iron ions but with COVID-19 running rampant your body is now basically like a progressive state letting out all the prisoners out of the prisons\u2026 it\u2019s just too much iron and it begins to overwhelm your lungs\u2019 countermeasures, and thus begins the process of pulmonary oxidative stress. This leads to damage and inflammation, which leads to all that nasty stuff and damage you see in CT scans of COVID-19 patient lungs. Ever noticed how it\u2019s always bilateral? (both lungs at the same time) Pneumonia rarely ever does that, but COVID-19 does\u2026 EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.<\/p>\n<p>Once your body is now running out of control, with all your oxygen trucks running around without any freight, and tons of this toxic form of iron floating around in your bloodstream, other defenses kick in. While your lungs are busy with all this oxidative stress they can\u2019t handle, and your organs are being starved of o2 without their constant stream of deliveries from red blood cell\u2019s hemoglobin, and your liver is attempting to do its best to remove the iron and store it in its \u2018iron vault\u2019. Only its getting overwhelmed too. It\u2019s starved for oxygen and fighting a losing battle from all your hemoglobin letting its iron free, and starts crying out \u201chelp, I\u2019m taking damage!\u201d by releasing an enzyme called alanine aminotransferase (ALT). BOOM, there is your second of 3 primary indicators of whether the shit is about to hit the fan for a particular patient or not.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, if the patient\u2019s immune system doesn\u2019t fight off the virus in time before their blood oxygen saturation drops too low, ventilator or no ventilator, organs start shutting down. No fuel, no work. The only way to even try to keep them going is max oxygen, even a hyperbaric chamber if one is available on 100% oxygen at multiple atmospheres of pressure, just to give what\u2019s left of their functioning hemoglobin a chance to carry enough o2 to the organs and keep them alive. Yeah we don\u2019t have nearly enough of those chambers, so some fresh red blood cells with normal hemoglobin in the form of a transfusion will have to do.<\/p>\n<p>The core point being, treating patients with the iron ions stripped from their hemoglobin (rendering it abnormally nonfunctional) with ventilator intubation is futile, unless you\u2019re just hoping the patient\u2019s immune system will work its magic in time. The root of the illness needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Best case scenario? Treatment regimen early, before symptoms progress too far. Hydroxychloroquine (more on that in a minute, I promise) with Azithromicin has shown fantastic, albeit critics keep mentioning \u2018anecdotal\u2019 to describe the mountain, promise and I\u2019ll explain why it does so well next. But forget straight-up plasma with antibodies, that might work early but if the patient is too far gone they\u2019ll need more. They\u2019ll need all the blood: antibodies and red blood cells. No help in sending over a detachment of ammunition to a soldier already unconscious and bleeding out on the battlefield, you need to send that ammo along with some hemoglobin-stimulant-magic so that he can wake up and fire those shots at the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>The story with Hydroxychloroquine<br \/>All that hilariously misguided and counterproductive criticism the media piled on chloroquine (purely for political reasons) as a viable treatment will now go down as the biggest Fake News blunder to rule them all. The media actively engaged their activism to fight \u2018bad orange man\u2019 at the cost of thousands of lives. Shame on them.<\/p>\n<p>How does chloroquine work? Same way as it does for malaria. You see, malaria is this little parasite that enters the red blood cells and starts eating hemoglobin as its food source. The reason chloroquine works for malaria is the same reason it works for COVID-19 \u2014 while not fully understood, it is suspected to bind to DNA and interfere with the ability to work magic on hemoglobin. The same mechanism that stops malaria from getting its hands on hemoglobin and gobbling it up seems to do the same to COVID-19 (essentially little snippets of DNA in an envelope) from binding to it. On top of that, Hydroxychloroquine (an advanced descendant of regular old chloroquine) lowers the pH which can interfere with the replication of the virus. Again, while the full details are not known, the entire premise of this potentially \u2018game changing\u2019 treatment is to prevent hemoglobin from being interfered with, whether due to malaria or COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>No longer can the media and armchair pseudo-physicians sit in their little ivory towers, proclaiming \u201cDUR so stoopid, malaria is bacteria, COVID-19 is virus, anti-bacteria drug no work on virus!\u201d. They never got the memo that a drug doesn\u2019t need to directly act on the pathogen to be effective. Sometimes it\u2019s enough just to stop it from doing what it does to hemoglobin, regardless of the means it uses to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of the rant. What\u2019s the end result here? First, the ventilator emergency needs to be re-examined. If you\u2019re putting a patient on a ventilator because they\u2019re going into a coma and need mechanical breathing to stay alive, okay we get it. Give \u2019em time for their immune systems to pull through. But if they\u2019re conscious, alert, compliant \u2014 keep them on O2. Max it if you have to. If you HAVE to inevitably ventilate, do it at low pressure but max O2. Don\u2019t tear up their lungs with max PEEP, you\u2019re doing more harm to the patient because you\u2019re treating the wrong disease.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, some form of treatment needs to happen to:<\/p>\n<p>Inhibit viral growth and replication. Here plays CHQ+ZPAK+ZINC or other retroviral therapies being studies. Less virus, less hemoglobin losing its iron, less severity and damage.<br \/>Therapies used for anyone with abnormal hemoglobin or malfunctioning red blood cells. Blood transfusions. Whatever, I don\u2019t know the full breadth and scope because I\u2019m not a physician. But think along those lines, and treat the real disease. If you\u2019re thinking about giving them plasma with antibodies, maybe if they\u2019re already in bad shape think again and give them BLOOD with antibodies, or at least blood followed by plasma with antibodies.<br \/>Now that we know more about how this virus works and affects our bodies, a whole range of options should open up.<br \/>Don\u2019t trust China. China is ASSHOE. (disclaimer: not talking about the people, just talking about the regime). They covered this up and have caused all kinds of death and carnage, both literal and economic. The ripples of this pandemic will be felt for decades.<br \/>Fini.<\/p>\n<p>What Is The Source Of The Coronavirus?<\/p>\n<p>The media story is that it came from a person eating a wild animal purchased at the Wuhan market. The Chinese say it is a bioweapon unleashed by the US. The US say it is a bioweapon released by China.<\/p>\n<p>PhD researcher Judy Mikovits and expert on viruses explains the coronavirus and reveals information you are not likely to hear in the corporate media.

Whether or not that is true is a moot point at present. What you and I need to do is get through it with as little loss of life, as little loss of health and minimal economic destruction as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Who Is Most At Risk From The Coronavirus?<\/p>\n<p>The truth of it is that there seem to be four classes of people (not mutually exclusive) who are at high risk from COVID-19 or in fact any virus. Most deaths from COVID-19 occur amongst:<\/p>\n<p>1. The elderly,<\/p>\n<p>2. The immune compromised,<\/p>\n<p>3. Smokers and<\/p>\n<p>4. Those already suffering from one or more bad health issues.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone you know in those four groups be especially diligent in your personal hygiene around them in case you are an asymptomatic carrier. Maintain strict hand washing hygiene and do whatever else you can to keep them out of contact within six feet of others until the crisis is over. Maybe shop for them, run an errand for them while you are out. Ask them with what they need help. Make sure they know the rules for proper hygiene to minimise their chance of being infected.<\/p>\n<p>The 80% not in those groups will experience very mild to moderate symptoms. Obviously not getting the virus at all is optimum but for most people it is like a normal case of flu, maybe slightly worse to much worse, depending on the state of your body&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<p>I have read different statements on how long he virus will live on various surfaces. Some say hours, one said 9 days on metal surfaces. To be safe, use the longer time period in your strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In which case if you are caring for someone in the four classes of people at most risk the safest thing to assume is that any item you acquired in the last 10 days might have the virus on it so after you have touched it, do not touch your face or food and wash your hands.<\/p>\n<p>Major Caution!<\/p>\n<p>The French Health Minister cautions against taking Advil (Ibuprofen) and cortisone to reduce inflammation as it could be a factor in worsening the inflammation. I have read elsewhere it suppresses the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Contributory Factors To Susceptibility<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the aforementioned old age, compromised immune system, history of smoking and preexisting health issues, you can add the following:<\/p>\n<p>stress,<\/p>\n<p>sleep problems,<\/p>\n<p>antibiotic use in the last 2 years,<\/p>\n<p>lack of a highly nutritious diet,<\/p>\n<p>low blood levels of Vitamin D,<\/p>\n<p>those with a more acidic than alkaline body,<\/p>\n<p>pollution exposure (air, water and food toxic) leading to cellular toxicity,<\/p>\n<p>wearing outside shoes inside the home.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotics<\/p>\n<p>This study shows poisoning the gut with antibiotics dramatically increases the risk of respiratory infections and mortality.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotics Kill Gut Bacteria That Calibrate the Activation Threshold of Innate Antiviral Immunity<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3679670\/<\/p>\n<p>EMF Pollution<\/p>\n<p>One view is that a virus is the excretion from a toxic cell. Cells become more toxic with an increase in electromagnetic frequencies. This is supported by the data that I have very reliable US based friends who said they got in December what now sounds like COVID-19. If it was, it was in the US in November, same time it was in China, So if it WAS man-made it most likely had multiple release points. Otherwise, if it was natural response to EMF pollution, we cannot blame the Chinese for the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Each major viral epidemic in the last 100+ years has been preceding by a quantum increase in background radiation.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 6 months there has been a large increase in the background radiation due to 5G.<\/p>\n<p>5G is not compatible with health. It is a water destructuring medium.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of the water in your cells and the amount of metal you have in the body (mercury and aluminium from vaccines), metal fillings etc. determines your susceptibility to EMF.

Interestingly Milan, which is pretty much the epicenter of coronavirus in Italy, is also an extremely polluted city. Is there any wonder that these people are most vulnerable to respiratory infections? Funny how the virus decides to spread mainly in the polluted areas. It&#8217;s also funny how coronavirus tends to affect smokers more. It&#8217;s almost like coronavirus is an effect of the terrain! https:\/\/www.digitalphablet.com\/smoke-smoking-causes-coronavirus<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A report by the World Health Organisation has placed Milan just behind Turin and just before Naples as the three European cities with the worst levels of atmospheric pollution.&#8221; All three of these are worst levels of atmospheric pollution.&#8221; All three of these are cities in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.wantedinmilan.com\/news\/milan-has-second-worst-smog-in-europe-who.html<\/p>\n<p>This pollution in Wuhan and Milan) further confirms my premise that COVID-19 is a defense mechanism against potential or early lung cancer &#8211; the infection is an effect of a hypoxic, pre-cancerous, fungal terrain in the lungs, caused by decades of exposure to smoking\/smog\/chemical exposures. The body&#8217;s acceptance of this infection is an attempt to clear the horrid damage in the lungs by creating a fever (heat + fasting + detoxification) which is the body&#8217;s way of repairing damage and ultimately increasing immune function. It&#8217;s like when you sprain an ankle and your body creates fever and inflammation &#8211; these are your body&#8217;s biggest repair tools for damaged tissues. In this case though the body is using the infection to repair the lungs.

Patients treated outdoors were less likely to be exposed to the infectious germs that are often present in conventional hospital wards. They were breathing clean air in what must have been a largely sterile environment. We know this because, in the 1960s, Ministry of Defence scientists proved that fresh air is a natural disinfectant. Something in it, which they called the Open Air Factor, is far more harmful to airborne bacteria \u2014 and the influenza virus \u2014 than indoor air. They couldn\u2019t identify exactly what the Open Air Factor is. But they found it was effective both at night and during the daytime.<\/p>\n<p>Their research also revealed that the Open Air Factor\u2019s disinfecting powers can be preserved in enclosures \u2014 if ventilation rates are kept high enough. Significantly, the rates they identified are the same ones that cross-ventilated hospital wards, with high ceilings and big windows, were designed for. But by the time the scientists made their discoveries, antibiotic therapy had replaced open-air treatment. Since then the germicidal effects of fresh air have not featured in infection control, or hospital design. Yet harmful bacteria have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xoLFGuSF7Q\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/maintenance.html\/?p=26807\">A sunshine and fresh air lesson from the 1918 influenza pandemic!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;A sunshine and fresh air lesson from the 1918 influenza pandemic!&#8221; &#8212; Tom&#039;s Blog on Life\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/maintenance.html\/?p=26807&#038;embed=true#?secret=vYIaXUOIGr#?secret=xoLFGuSF7Q\" data-secret=\"xoLFGuSF7Q\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Alkalise<\/p>\n<p>The body\u2019s natural pH balance, which is slightly alkaline, must be maintained in order for us to feel our best and most energetic. \u201cAn alkaline body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body.\u201d These are the words of, Dr Otto Warburg, a Nobel Prize Winner for his work on respiratory enzymes and cancer. He also found that diseased bodies are acidic bodies, which repel oxygen and attract the overgrowth of disease-causing micro-organisms.<\/p>\n<p>Our body\u2019s acid-alkaline balance is a key component to overall good health and one of the most crucial ways to affect health status.

For example, the MHV-A59 strain of coronavirus is quite stable at pH 6.0 (acidic) but becomes rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by brief treatment at pH 8.0 (alkaline). Human coronavirus strain 229E is maximally infectious at pH 6.0. Infection of cells by murine coronavirus A59 at pH 6.0 (acidic) rather than pH 7.0 (neutral) yields a tenfold increase in the infectivity of the virus. https:\/\/drsircus.com\/general\/viruses-are-ph-sensitive\/<\/p>\n<p>So drinking alkaline, hydrogenated water or taking sodium bicarbonate are ways to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Andrographis<\/p>\n<p>The coronavirus uses Furins to break down a protein and enter the cells.

There is no bacteria, virus, parasite or fungus that is known to be resistant to iodine. As I have written in my book, Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can\u2019t Live Without It, most of the population is low in iodine. If 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 my patients, I suggest taking 25 mg\/day as a daily dose and more (sometimes 50-100 mg\/day) at the first sign of an illness.

In 1918 Dr. Orval Cunningham of Kansas City was brought a dying friend of a fellow physician. The patient was moribund and blue. Before Cunningham could perform his planned animal experiments he was asked to treat this dying patient. With just a one-hour treatment with compressed air at 1.68 atmospheres absolute the patient experienced improvement. Combined with additional hyperbaric treatments over the next 3 days this patient\u2019s life was saved. Others followed.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 24 hours (pre 17 March 2020), two new pieces of evidence have surfaced supporting Dr Harch\u2019s original proposal of 3\/3\/2020 to consider HBOT for the treatment of coronavirus infection.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the publication of a retrospective analysis of lung CT scans on 121 patients infected with coronavirus in four Chinese provinces was announced. The CT scans showed progressive air space disease that radiologically depicted the diffusion barrier to oxygen that Dr. Harch suggested was similar to the lung pathology in Spanish Flu victims of 1918.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, Dr. Harch\u2019s research assistant found evidence of successful treatment of a severe case of coronavirus infection in Wuhan, China. The patient was treated through the critical period with a similar number of daily hyperbaric treatments that Dr. Orval Cunningham used on his Spanish Flu cases in 1918. This Chinese patient managed to successfully traverse the critically ill period and was no longer in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"W634IX7wIM\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbot.com\/hyperbaric-application-to-covid-19-pulmonary-infection\/\">Hyperbaric Application to COVID-19 Pulmonary Infection<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Hyperbaric Application to COVID-19 Pulmonary Infection&#8221; &#8212; Harch Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy\" src=\"https:\/\/hbot.com\/hyperbaric-application-to-covid-19-pulmonary-infection\/embed\/#?secret=vu7Kyxm99z#?secret=W634IX7wIM\" data-secret=\"W634IX7wIM\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Onion Poultice<\/p>\n<p>From the book Kitchen Medicine by Judy Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal.

Most people have suboptimal levels of these three vitamins. These nutrients have antiviral abilities and are able to support the immune system when it is under viral attack. When I am not ill I take 5,000 mg\/day of vitamin C through the day. At the first sign of an illness, I take 1,000 mg\/half hour until the stools go loose and before diarrhea develops, then reduce the dose below that point. For vitamin A, I have read suggestions to use 5,000 Units\/day if you are not sick and 100,000 Units\/day for four days at the first sign of an illness. Pregnant women cannot take these doses. (Note: Take vitamin A, not beta carotene.) Also, vitamin D is very important for fighting infections.

I am a practicing Medical Hematologist &amp; Oncologist for 30 years. I am board certified by ABIM in Internal Medicine (1993, 2003 and 2013), Medical Oncology (1996, 2006 and 2016) and Hematology (1997, 2007 and 2017). I have served as Chief medical resident, Chief of medicine, Chief of staff, MEC and numerous committees. I embraced inpatient Covid care in February 2020 and have been and continue to be, firsthand involved in every single Covid admission to DRMC in Greenville, MS in Washington county, one of the most heavily affected areas in the state of MS.<\/p>\n<p>I have come to realize that the cycles of the Covid-19 disease are unknown to most, hence the understandable confusion regarding Hydroxychloroquine. Here is a concise presentation.<\/p>\n<p>As the virus invades the respiratory system, our immune system will eventually eradicate it. However, unlike other viral diseases, in some patients, this immune response will cause an inflammation that, given enough time, will independently disrupt oxygen transfer from the lung to blood capillaries even after the virus has been destroyed. Concomitantly, the capillaries are squeezed and intravascular clotting starts, causing rapid vascular closure. Consequently, as the disease progresses, blood oxygen levels will keep dropping until asphyxia occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Starting Hydroxychloroquine at stages 1 or 2 will promptly destroy the virus and prevent the inflammatory reaction from occurring, hence an exceedingly high success rate. These two stages are seen outside the hospital. Few treated patients will progress to hospital admission and even less will die. At DRMC outpatient clinic, where Hydroxy is promptly started, only seven patients had to be admitted of whom only one remains intubated (NO DEATHS SO FAR AT THAT STAGE). These results have been duplicated across the world and are certainly not unique to my practice.<\/p>\n<p>At early to mid-stage III, Hydroxychloroquine has been shown to reduce the risk of death by about 65% (Both in US and Italy). The immediate addition of anticoagulation and anti-inflammatory treatment will bring mortality well into the single digits (personal experience, to be published).<\/p>\n<p>Late stage III and stage IV is when oxygen requirements are significant. By then, the virus has been cleared thanks to the immune system, but capillary clotting and inflammation of the green barrier are still rampant. As the virus has been cleared, you can see clearly why, at this stage, Hydroxy (or any other antiviral) will miserably fail at making an impact. This is the stage where all the negative studies of Hydroxychloroquine that you hear about have been publicized.<\/p>\n<p>Hydroxychloroquine\u2019s toxicity is another target of widespread misinformation. When used by expert physicians, in a total of more than 4000 patients that were properly screened for appropriateness of Hydroxychloroquine, there was (as in my practice) not a single cardiac-related death. The main side effect is nausea which occurs in 2 to 5% of people. However, in advanced stages, patients are so ill that treatment-related toxicities (including cardiac) will uniformly rise.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, it would be ideal if we had US clinical trials to validate this approach once and for all. For your knowledge, this is one of the job descriptions of the National Institute of Health as posted on their website. If you want to lay any criticism as to why it is not yet available 8 months into the pandemic, please address it with the NIH, not by questioning the integrity of those who constantly, diligently, and unwaveringly, are putting both their own and their families\u2019 physical wellbeing at risk to deliver the best possible care.<\/p>\n<p>I therefore urge you all to promptly seek care if symptomatic. Reach out to your primary care physician early on for rapid intervention. If you are simply advised to receive Tylenol and a cough syrup, quickly find someone else. These treatments need a comprehensive medical evaluation, blood testing, and EKG to be delivered safely. They cannot be dispensed over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards and God speed to all as we continue navigate these difficult times,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maroun Hayek, MD<\/p>\n<p>Specific Treatment Protocol \u2013 1 HAZ<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued by the recent report from Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, who successfully treated 699 COVID-19 out-patients (this means in the community, and not in the hospital) with 100 percent success (according to him), using a cocktail of three drugs. This mirrors a French doctor\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p>Hydroxychloroquine (200 mg twice a day, for 5 days)<\/p>\n<p>Azithromycin (Z-Pak), an antibiotic used to treat secondary infections, as bacterial infections are thought to act in synergy with the virus and contribute to breathing deterioration (500 mg once a day, for 5 days)<\/p>\n<p>Zinc sulfate* (220 mg once a day, for 5 days)<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Zelenko reported that symptoms related to shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after his 3-drug protocol was administered. Furthermore, of these 699 patients, zero died, zero required intubation, and only four were hospitalized.<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>3 studies show Chloroquine defeats the virus in 6 days. A combination of Chloroquine with Azithromycin cleared the virus in 3 days in 100% of the patients in the study.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"TK4oeaUgpK\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/gellerreport.com\/2020\/03\/covid-wuflu-cure.html\/\">BREAKTHROUGH: 3 International Studies Find Chloroquine Show 100% SUCCESS Rate in Treating Coronavirus in 6 Days<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;BREAKTHROUGH: 3 International Studies Find Chloroquine Show 100% SUCCESS Rate in Treating Coronavirus in 6 Days&#8221; &#8212; Geller Report\" src=\"https:\/\/gellerreport.com\/2020\/03\/covid-wuflu-cure.html\/embed\/#?secret=hx60Sl2KTO#?secret=TK4oeaUgpK\" data-secret=\"TK4oeaUgpK\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Please note, Chloroquine has a lot of potential side effects, including: irregular heartbeat, mental\/mood changes (anxiety, depression, hallucinations), shortness of breath, blurred vision, arm\/leg\/back pain, fatigue, and chest discomfort.

If you have diabetes, your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication.<\/p>\n<p>Azithromycin is, of course, an antibiotic, and we know that antibiotics in general can have negative consequences on our gut microbiome. Oxalate sensitivity is one interesting thing that can occur after even a short course of antibiotics.

Folks, I think nebulizing hydrogen peroxide and iodine should be done on every COVID patient. It should be done on every pneumonia patient. It should be done on every influenza-suffering patient. It should be done on every patient suffering from lung problems.<\/p>\n<p>Nebulizing should be done only with the guidance of your doctor. I would suggest that it is best to find a holistic doctor who can help guide you. I do not recommend nebulizing on your own.<\/p>\n<p>With my patients, I have them nebulize Lugol\u2019s 5% solution. I tell them to put 1-2 drops of Lugol\u2019s 5% in 3cc of normal saline and nebulize the mixture.<\/p>\n<p>For hydrogen peroxide, food grade hydrogen peroxide should be used. We mix up a bag of normal saline and add hydrogen peroxide along with minerals. It is similar to the IV version that we infuse into patients.<\/p>\n<p>My cousin, Jeremiah (who you will read about in my next blog), was experiencing shortness of breath and had flu-like symptoms. We were in a pinch since he was 200 miles away. In this case, I had his wife dilute food grade\u201435%\u2013peroxide down to 3% using clean, sterile water. Then, 3cc of that diluted mixture was further diluted in 250 cc of normal saline. Finally, 3 cc of the saline-diluted mixture can be nebulized.<\/p>\n<p>With hydrogen peroxide, it is much more effective to use the version compounded in our office. The office version is only available to our patients. We do not sell that to the public.<\/p>\n<p>I often have my patients alternate nebulizing between H202 and iodine. I would not recommend nebulizing more than 3 times per day.<\/p>\n<p>Iodine can cause some dryness of the throat. Peroxide usually causes no adverse effects.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.drbrownstein.com\/how-to-nebulize\/<\/p>\n<p>Specific Treatment Protocol \u2013 4 Anti-Clotting and Sepsis<\/p>\n<p>According to a February 19, 2020, report in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, abnormal coagulation is associated with poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Of 183 consecutive COVID-19 patients treated in a Chinese hospital, those who died had significantly higher levels of fibrinogen, D-dimer and other fibrin degradation products; 71.4% of those who died also met the criteria of DIC, compared to just 0.6% of those who recovered.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 patients found to have blood clots should probably be assumed to have sepsis as well, and the sepsis must be properly addressed too.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, sepsis is commonly overlooked, even by medical professionals, as many of the symptoms of sepsis look very similar to those of both flu and COVID-19. Examples include high fever with chills and shivering, unusual sweating, dizziness, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, muscle pain and cold, clammy skin.<\/p>\n<p>Cellular and molecular biologist Judy Mikovits, believes the clotting issue is related to cytokine release but not from SARS-CoV-2. She is confident that a coinfection with the retrovirus XMRV is causing this problem.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul Marik\u2019s protocol of intravenous (IV) vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) has been shown to dramatically improve chances of survival in patients with sepsis.<\/p>\n<p>His retrospective before-after clinical study showed giving patients 200 mg of thiamine every 12 hours, 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours, and 50 mg of hydrocortisone every six hours for two days reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%. Importantly, the treatment has no side effects and is inexpensive, readily available and simple to administer, so there\u2019s virtually no risk involved.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2020\/05\/09\/natural-treatment-for-blood-clots.aspx<\/p>\n<p>Specific Treatment Protocol \u2013 5 Anti-Asthmatic Steroid<\/p>\n<p>Dr Richard Bartlett is getting a 100% success rate with an anti-asthmatic steroid using a nebulizer:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"wQqDAopfGB\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/maintenance.html\/?p=28574\">Dr Richard Bartlett Explains How He Cures COVID-19<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Dr Richard Bartlett Explains How He Cures COVID-19&#8221; &#8212; Tom&#039;s Blog on Life\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/maintenance.html\/?p=28574&#038;embed=true#?secret=uq7UUh1ygU#?secret=wQqDAopfGB\" data-secret=\"wQqDAopfGB\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More data can be found here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/Novel-Approach-to-Covid-19.pdf<\/p>\n<p>Specific Treatment Protocol \u2013 6 Seaweed Extract<\/p>\n<p>Unchanged:<\/p>\n<p>A new study suggests that an extract from seaweed may outperform the drug Redesivir.<\/p>\n<p>A new study suggests that an extract from seaweed may outperform the drug Redesivir.<\/p>\n<p>Unchanged:<\/p>\n<p>The extract, called RPI-27\u2014found in the same type of seaweed that you might eat in sushi\u2014helps trap the virus before it can infect human cells.

I&#8217;m gonna share some common sense wisdom with those that have the virus and trying to stay home. If my advice is followed as given you will improve your chances of not ending up in the hospital on a ventilator. This applies to the otherwise generally healthy population, so use discretion.<\/p>\n<p>Only high temperatures kill a virus, so let your fever run high. Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen etc. will bring your fever down allowing the virus to live longer. They are saying that ibuprophen, advil etc. will actually exacerbate the virus. Use common sense and don&#8217;t let fever go over 103 or 104 if you got the guts. If it gets higher than that take your tylenol, not ibuprophen or advil to keep it regulated. It helps to keep house warm and cover up with blankets so body does not have to work so hard to generate the heat. It usually takes about 3 days of this to break the fever.<\/p>\n<p>The body is going to dehydrate with the elevated temperature so you must rehydrate yourself regulaly, whether you like it or not. Gatorade with real sugar, or pedialyte with real sugar for kids, works well. Why the sugar? Sugar will give your body back the energy it is using up to create the fever. The electrolytes and fluid you are losing will also be replenished by the Gatorade. If you don&#8217;t do this and end up in the hospital they will start an IV and give you D5W (sugar water) and Normal Saline to replenish electrolytes. Gatorade is much cheaper, pain free, and comes in an assortment of flavors.<\/p>\n<p>You must keep your lungs moist. Best done by taking long steamy showers on a regular basis, if you&#8217;re wheezing or congested use a real minty toothpaste and brush your teeth while taking the steamy shower and deep breathe through your mouth. This will provide some bronchial dilation and help loosen the phlegm. Force your self to cough into a wet wash cloth pressed firmly over your mouth and nose, which will cause greater pressure in your lungs forcing them to expand more and break loose more of the congestion.<\/p>\n<p>Eat healthy and regularly. Gotta keep your strength up.<\/p>\n<p>Once the fever breaks, start moving around to get the body back in shape and blood circulating.<\/p>\n<p>Deep breath on a regular basis, even when it hurts. If you don&#8217;t it becomes easy to develop pneumonia. Pursed lip breathing really helps. That&#8217;s breathing in deep and slow then exhaling through tight lips as if your blowing out a candle, blow until you have completely emptied your lungs and you will be able to breath in an even deeper breath. This helps keep lungs expanded as well as increase your oxygen level.<br \/>Remember that every medication you take is merely relieving the symptoms, not making you well.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still dying go to ER.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been doing these things for myself and my family for over 40 years and kept them out of the hospital, all are healthy and still living today.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for sharing. We gotta help one another.<\/p>\n<p>ADDENDUM 1<\/p>\n<p>A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 \u2014 and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged<\/p>\n<p>(Tom: This is one of the most important posts I have shared this year. So important that I am sharing the entire article in case it is &#8220;lost&#8221; online.)<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this summer, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee set about crunching data on more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples in an effort to better understand Covid-19. Summit is the second-fastest computer in the world, but the process \u2014 which involved analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations \u2014 still took more than a week.<\/p>\n<p>When Summit was done, researchers analyzed the results. It was, in the words of Dr. Daniel Jacobson, lead researcher and chief scientist for computational systems biology at Oak Ridge, a \u201ceureka moment.\u201d The computer had revealed a new theory about how Covid-19 impacts the body: the bradykinin hypothesis. The hypothesis provides a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19, including some of its most bizarre symptoms. It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved. Jacobson\u2019s group published their results in a paper in the journal eLife in early July.<\/p>\n<p>According to the team\u2019s findings, a Covid-19 infection generally begins when the virus enters the body through ACE2 receptors in the nose, (The receptors, which the virus is known to target, are abundant there.) The virus then proceeds through the body, entering cells in other places where ACE2 is also present: the intestines, kidneys, and heart. This likely accounts for at least some of the disease\u2019s cardiac and GI symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>But once Covid-19 has established itself in the body, things start to get really interesting. According to Jacobson\u2019s group, the data Summit analyzed shows that Covid-19 isn\u2019t content to simply infect cells that already express lots of ACE2 receptors. Instead, it actively hijacks the body\u2019s own systems, tricking it into upregulating ACE2 receptors in places where they\u2019re usually expressed at low or medium levels, including the lungs.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, Covid-19 is like a burglar who slips in your unlocked second-floor window and starts to ransack your house. Once inside, though, they don\u2019t just take your stuff \u2014 they also throw open all your doors and windows so their accomplices can rush in and help pillage more efficiently.<br \/>The renin\u2013angiotensin system (RAS) controls many aspects of the circulatory system, including the body\u2019s levels of a chemical called bradykinin, which normally helps to regulate blood pressure. According to the team\u2019s analysis, when the virus tweaks the RAS, it causes the body\u2019s mechanisms for regulating bradykinin to go haywire. Bradykinin receptors are resensitized, and the body also stops effectively breaking down bradykinin. (ACE normally degrades bradykinin, but when the virus downregulates it, it can\u2019t do this as effectively.)<\/p>\n<p>The end result, the researchers say, is to release a bradykinin storm \u2014 a massive, runaway buildup of bradykinin in the body. According to the bradykinin hypothesis, it\u2019s this storm that is ultimately responsible for many of Covid-19\u2019s deadly effects. Jacobson\u2019s team says in their paper that \u201cthe pathology of Covid-19 is likely the result of Bradykinin Storms rather than cytokine storms,\u201d which had been previously identified in Covid-19 patients, but that \u201cthe two may be intricately linked.\u201d Other papers had previously identified bradykinin storms as a possible cause of Covid-19\u2019s pathologies.<\/p>\n<p>As bradykinin builds up in the body, it dramatically increases vascular permeability. In short, it makes your blood vessels leaky. This aligns with recent clinical data, which increasingly views Covid-19 primarily as a vascular disease, rather than a respiratory one. But Covid-19 still has a massive effect on the lungs. As blood vessels start to leak due to a bradykinin storm, the researchers say, the lungs can fill with fluid. Immune cells also leak out into the lungs, Jacobson\u2019s team found, causing inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>And Covid-19 has another especially insidious trick. Through another pathway, the team\u2019s data shows, it increases production of hyaluronic acid (HLA) in the lungs. HLA is often used in soaps and lotions for its ability to absorb more than 1,000 times its weight in fluid. When it combines with fluid leaking into the lungs, the results are disastrous: It forms a hydrogel, which can fill the lungs in some patients. According to Jacobson, once this happens, \u201cit\u2019s like trying to breathe through Jell-O.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This may explain why ventilators have proven less effective in treating advanced Covid-19 than doctors originally expected, based on experiences with other viruses. \u201cIt reaches a point where regardless of how much oxygen you pump in, it doesn\u2019t matter, because the alveoli in the lungs are filled with this hydrogel,\u201d Jacobson says. \u201cThe lungs become like a water balloon.\u201d Patients can suffocate even while receiving full breathing support.<\/p>\n<p>The bradykinin hypothesis also extends to many of Covid-19\u2019s effects on the heart. About one in five hospitalized Covid-19 patients have damage to their hearts, even if they never had cardiac issues before. Some of this is likely due to the virus infecting the heart directly through its ACE2 receptors. But the RAS also controls aspects of cardiac contractions and blood pressure. According to the researchers, bradykinin storms could create arrhythmias and low blood pressure, which are often seen in Covid-19 patients.<\/p>\n<p>The bradykinin hypothesis also accounts for Covid-19\u2019s neurological effects, which are some of the most surprising and concerning elements of the disease. These symptoms (which include dizziness, seizures, delirium, and stroke) are present in as many as half of hospitalized Covid-19 patients. According to Jacobson and his team, MRI studies in France revealed that many Covid-19 patients have evidence of leaky blood vessels in their brains.<\/p>\n<p>Bradykinin \u2014 especially at high doses \u2014 can also lead to a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. Under normal circumstances, this barrier acts as a filter between your brain and the rest of your circulatory system. It lets in the nutrients and small molecules that the brain needs to function, while keeping out toxins and pathogens and keeping the brain\u2019s internal environment tightly regulated.<\/p>\n<p>If bradykinin storms cause the blood-brain barrier to break down, this could allow harmful cells and compounds into the brain, leading to inflammation, potential brain damage, and many of the neurological symptoms Covid-19 patients experience. Jacobson told me, \u201cIt is a reasonable hypothesis that many of the neurological symptoms in Covid-19 could be due to an excess of bradykinin. It has been reported that bradykinin would indeed be likely to increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In addition, similar neurological symptoms have been observed in other diseases that result from an excess of bradykinin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Increased bradykinin levels could also account for other common Covid-19 symptoms. ACE inhibitors \u2014 a class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure \u2014 have a similar effect on the RAS system as Covid-19, increasing bradykinin levels. In fact, Jacobson and his team note in their paper that \u201cthe virus\u2026 acts pharmacologically as an ACE inhibitor\u201d \u2014 almost directly mirroring the actions of these drugs.<\/p>\n<p>By acting like a natural ACE inhibitor, Covid-19 may be causing the same effects that hypertensive patients sometimes get when they take blood pressure\u2013lowering drugs. ACE inhibitors are known to cause a dry cough and fatigue, two textbook symptoms of Covid-19. And they can potentially increase blood potassium levels, which has also been observed in Covid-19 patients. The similarities between ACE inhibitor side effects and Covid-19 symptoms strengthen the bradykinin hypothesis, the researchers say.<\/p>\n<p>ACE inhibitors are also known to cause a loss of taste and smell. Jacobson stresses, though, that this symptom is more likely due to the virus \u201caffecting the cells surrounding olfactory nerve cells\u201d than the direct effects of bradykinin.<\/p>\n<p>Though still an emerging theory, the bradykinin hypothesis explains several other of Covid-19\u2019s seemingly bizarre symptoms. Jacobson and his team speculate that leaky vasculature caused by bradykinin storms could be responsible for \u201cCovid toes,\u201d a condition involving swollen, bruised toes that some Covid-19 patients experience. Bradykinin can also mess with the thyroid gland, which could produce the thyroid symptoms recently observed in some patients.<\/p>\n<p>The bradykinin hypothesis could also explain some of the broader demographic patterns of the disease\u2019s spread. The researchers note that some aspects of the RAS system are sex-linked, with proteins for several receptors (such as one called TMSB4X) located on the X chromosome. This means that \u201cwomen\u2026 would have twice the levels of this protein than men,\u201d a result borne out by the researchers\u2019 data. In their paper, Jacobson\u2019s team concludes that this \u201ccould explain the lower incidence of Covid-19 induced mortality in women.\u201d A genetic quirk of the RAS could be giving women extra protection against the disease.<\/p>\n<p>The bradykinin hypothesis provides a model that \u201ccontributes to a better understanding of Covid-19\u201d and \u201cadds novelty to the existing literature,\u201d according to scientists Frank van de Veerdonk, Jos WM van der Meer, and Roger Little, who peer-reviewed the team\u2019s paper. It predicts nearly all the disease\u2019s symptoms, even ones (like bruises on the toes) that at first appear random, and further suggests new treatments for the disease.<\/p>\n<p>As Jacobson and team point out, several drugs target aspects of the RAS and are already FDA approved to treat other conditions. They could arguably be applied to treating Covid-19 as well. Several, like danazol, stanozolol, and ecallantide, reduce bradykinin production and could potentially stop a deadly bradykinin storm. Others, like icatibant, reduce bradykinin signaling and could blunt its effects once it\u2019s already in the body.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Jacobson\u2019s team also suggests vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming. The researchers note that vitamin D has already been shown to help those with Covid-19. The vitamin is readily available over the counter, and around 20% of the population is deficient. If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Other compounds could treat symptoms associated with bradykinin storms. Hymecromone, for example, could reduce hyaluronic acid levels, potentially stopping deadly hydrogels from forming in the lungs. And timbetasin could mimic the mechanism that the researchers believe protects women from more severe Covid-19 infections. All of these potential treatments are speculative, of course, and would need to be studied in a rigorous, controlled environment before their effectiveness could be determined and they could be used more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 stands out for both the scale of its global impact and the apparent randomness of its many symptoms. Physicians have struggled to understand the disease and come up with a unified theory for how it works. Though as of yet unproven, the bradykinin hypothesis provides such a theory. And like all good hypotheses, it also provides specific, testable predictions \u2014 in this case, actual drugs that could provide relief to real patients.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers are quick to point out that \u201cthe testing of any of these pharmaceutical interventions should be done in well-designed clinical trials.\u201d As to the next step in the process, Jacobson is clear: \u201cWe have to get this message out.\u201d His team\u2019s finding won\u2019t cure Covid-19. But if the treatments it points to pan out in the clinic, interventions guided by the bradykinin hypothesis could greatly reduce patients\u2019 suffering \u2014 and potentially save lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elemental.medium.com\/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63\">https:\/\/elemental.medium.com\/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As more data worthy of inclusion comes to hand I will update the blog post and alter the date in the heading.
