Covid and Long Covid treatment

Many of these treatments have already been featured but is worth repeating because Covid is not going away and variants are being spread by the vaccinated who are shedding. So both the virus and vaccinating can have long term effects.  We are not talking about a cold or flu but neurological complications, cancers and heart disease.  This compilation comes from Spartacus but is similar to ones that I have posted before.

Severe COVID-19 = viral vascular endotheliitis with thromboinflammatory response. Neutrophils go out of control and you end up with NETosis, lipid peroxidation, sepsis, DAMP formation, etc., in a runaway feedback loop. The virus’s proteins promote amyloid-fibrin clot formation, and the lungs start loading up with microclots and suffering transient ischemia, which leads to ischemia-reperfusion-like injury of the vital organs (which upsets the redox balance of the blood vessels and the tissues, leading to lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, et cetera). Here’s how to treat it at home:

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin K
  • Zinc
  • NAC
  • Selenium
  • NMN
  • Glycine
  • Quercetin
  • Curcumin
  • Kutki Powder
  • Natto-Serra
  • Melatonin
  • Famotidine
  • Diphenhydramine

What do all of these things have in common? They are all potent antioxidants. Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Vitamin D draws excess calcium out of cells by activating Ca2+ ATPase , which has an antioxidant effect. Zinc is not just an antiviral (especially when paired with an ionophore like quercetin), it’s also an antioxidant, inhibiting NADPH oxidase. NAC and selenium are precursors to the glutathione and the selenocysteine molecules that are necessary to the functioning of glutathione peroxidases, which are arguably your cells’ primary defense mechanism against oxidative death. NMN acts as a NAD precursor, preventing parthanatos. Glycine is also crucial in glutathione synthesis. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant and augments the effect of zinc. It’s also anti-amyloid. Curcumin is a plant polyphenol and a powerful antioxidant, and is one of the main compounds found in turmeric. Kutki powder, made from the picrorhiza kurroa root, is rich in apocynin, an extremely potent antioxidant closely related to vanillin that inhibits myeloperoxidase without harming the ability of neutrophils to engage in phagocytosis. Nattokinase and serrapeptase are potent fibrinolytic enzymes that help break down amyloid-fibrin clots. Nattokinase also has known antioxidant effects. Melatonin is an antioxidant. Famotidine and diphenhydramine (Pepcid and Benadryl) are also antioxidants and inhibitors of ferroptosis.

This is supported by peer-reviewed papers. https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8106523/ As a matter of fact, redox modulation should be the first-line treatment for any COVID-19 case.

Why isn’t it?

This from Walter Chestnut:

Other factors which influence autophagy are acute heat exposure, as one would experience in a sauna, flavonoid consumption, phenolic compounds, and coffee. Resveratrol can also induce fasting, as it acts as a protein restriction mimetic, and metformin, a diabetes medication, can influence autophagy signaling. Surprisingly, cold exposure, in addition to heat exposure, also increases autophagy. Hyperbaric oxygen and ozone therapy may also stimulate autophagy.

Covid Health

I have called this post “covid health” because these measures are helpful in combating covid and/or the after effects of the “vaccine”. I have been making my own kombucha and am drinking one as I write this. I mixed half Kombucha with half tonic water (containing quinine) and two slices of lemon. Very cold and quite tasty. The Kombucha is made with green tea (I bought Matcha powder but also a pack the dried leaves etc in an Asian shop).  I got tired of trying to “sterilize” bottles etc so I streamlined the process and now have a method that works great.   I boil the kettle (I use spring water) and then put it in my “French Press”  which is usually used for coffee (example):

Then I add raw sugar, my tea and the hot water give it a good stir and let it stand allowing it to cool to room temp then simply push down the plunger.  I  purchased a large four liter jar with a tap at Drakes Supermarket in which I placed the SCOBY and the tea-sugar solution.

The point is that when I want a fresh bottle I run one off via the tap and place it in the fridge. Then I top up the Kombucha solution from my French Press.  The fresh bottle in the fridge last about 2-3 days by which time the large jar has fermented enough to run off another bottle.  This is easy as.   It has streamlined the process but even more importantly the constant fermentation makes it impossible for other bacteria to compete. No more kerfuffle with sterilization etc just rinse anything I use with very hot water.   Moreover, I can use the same “stock solution” (tea water and sugar) to make my water kefir which I also do now in a large jar.  The only difference is that this has no SCOBY and I add lemon and lime slices and dates and or figs. So, refreshing very healthy drinks.  A final tip…the jars need to breathe but not let dirt or bacteria in. Do not forget that gas builds up due to fermentation.  I found the easiest way was to use clingfilm and and elastic band then puncture holes with a tooth pick….then put a second layer and do the same. You could use cheesecloth but clingfilm is easier. Then place the lid loose on top so that gas can escape. After experimenting and doing the above I came across this article:

Kombucha Continuous Brewing


Have you tried Kombucha before? A 2014 study by Vina et.al (1) stated that it is shown that Kombucha Tea (KT) can efficiently act in health prophylaxis and recovery due to four main properties: detoxification, antioxidation, energising potencies, and promotion of depressed immunity. The recent experimental studies on the consumption of KT suggests that it is suitable for prevention against broad-spectrum metabolic and infective disorders. This makes KT attractive as a fermented functional beverage for health prophylaxis.

An important disclaimer is that Kombucha Tea is most effective when you make it yourself. This is because most commercial Kombucha is artificially produced and contains harmful food additives. The fermentation is longer than kefir and can take around 7 to 10 days but the good news is that we have developed a method whereby it can be produced daily. You never have to buy expensive, artificial Kombucha again.

Have you heard about the "Continuous Kombucha Fermentation Method"? You will need a larger vessel like our 5 L Lead-Free Ceramic Kombucha Jars

Kombucha Continuous Brew Method

1) Brew 1 L of Kombucha tea as per our instructions which can be found here
2) Establish the batch size for your continuous brew. We suggest 4L in our jars
3) Reserve 400ml of complete Kombucha tea and Kombucha SCOBY from step 1
4) Brew 4 L of Black tea using 4L boiling water, 8 organic tea bags and one 1 cup of organic rapadura sugar 
5) Cool tea to room temperature and fill into our 5 L Kombucha Jar
6) Add 400 ml reserved Kombucha tea and Scoby from step 3 and mix thoroughly
7) Cover Kombucha Jar with lid or cloth provided (your kombucha must breathe)
8) Leave to brew for 7 to 14 days. You can start tasting brew via spigot after day 7 and stop fermenting when your brew is tart and there is a new SCOBY formed on the surface of your brew
9) Your brew is ready to consume 
10) Now, this is when the magic happens. Spigot out 250ml to 500ml for your daily consumption or second fermentation 
11) Immediately replace the amount of kombucha taken out with 250ml or 500ml of cool brewed tea (same ratios of tea, sugar and water as per our recipe). We suggest making 1L of brewed tea and storing in the fridge to use as top up tea.

Note: You can also continuous brew Jun Kombucha using the same method.

I am on a roll because my natto beans are successful as well and I took a picture of one of my garden trees and found out it was Magenta Lilly Pilly.  It is a native Australian and is edible so I fed some to the chooks and they love it.  Then I did a web search and found some recipes for jams and chutneys.   Made some yesterday boiled in water added apple cider vinegar, raw sugar, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom pods and mashed and reduced until I had a thick textured solution.  Cooled it down and placed in a jam jar. Delicious.  Very tangy.  I had some with apple pie and ice cream (yum) and also tried it with yogurt and believe it or not with cheese and crackers.  I am afraid the chooks are not going to get my berries anymore (lolz). A great discovery.

Melatonin

I had already heard good things about Melatonin and added it to my pile of supplements.  When I think I have been exposed or feel run down I take one before sleeping.  This video is very good.

This video is a summary of an important paper that blew me away. Three of the leading causes of death: • Heart disease • Cancer • Metabolic illnesses With each of these causes of death, there is some type of dysfunction that destroys the mitochondria. The essence of the problem is an excess of oxidative stress and free radical damage. Normally, the body protects against these things through its antioxidant networks. Glutathione has been considered the most important antioxidant. But, melatonin is even more powerful and effective than glutathione. Benefits of melatonin: • It’s a powerful antioxidant • It’s 2x more powerful than vitamin E • It triggers antioxidants like glutathione • It promotes sleep • It supports the immune system • It has anti-cancer benefits There are two forms of melatonin, one being subcellular melatonin, which means it’s inside the mitochondria. It’s there to help protect against oxidation and free radical damage in the mitochondria. A lack of melatonin can: • Affect your sleep • Cause inflammation • Cause you to lose your antioxidant protection in the mitochondria • Lead to chronic degenerative diseases (especially of the brain) The largest stimulus of subcellular melatonin is near-infrared light (NIR). A few things that give off NIR: • The sun • Campfires • Fire in a fireplace • Candles • Incandescent lights • Infrared sauna • Infrared lights and lasers Being outside in nature and in the sun may be just as important as eating healthy. Infrared light also protects against UV radiation. Being exposed to artificial lights (LED light and blue light) is a big cause of a deficiency of infrared light. What you can do: • Get outside in the sun • Get a therapeutic near-infrared light • Switch your lights to incandescent lights • Have more fires or use candles

 

 

 

 

 

 

Health and Covid

Health and Covid

A number of articles about the health effects of Covid and possible treatments. This is very interesting because it shows that it has to do with the iron content and heme in the blood and this was from Doris Loh who is high up in the CDC.  This shows that even within the CDC there are people trying to do the right thing. Interestingly, Dr Kevin McCairn demonstrated live on his stream that a drop of vaccine desaturates the blood and it looses color.  It makes some people wonder if the enigmatic Covfefe. that Donald Trump tweeted was a typo or a message to do with Cov and the oxidation of Iron/ferritin (Fe Fe). Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body’s iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.  The PDF link below is a protocol that Doris Loh herself posted on twitter, It has high vitamin C and melatonin.  At one point at the beginning of the pandemic some doctors were giving intravenous vitamin C as an antioxidant and then the establishment and media clamped down on it as they did with HCQ and IVM.  The only solution they offered was to wait until the mRNA vaccines were ready.  Not exactly a success story was it?

 

And then there is this which seems to confirm the role that Fe disruption plays in the pathology:

This protocol from Doris Loh is very good:

Dosage Recommendations for SARS-CoV-2 &Variants (Doris Loh)

Over the counter measures

Here are other over the counter supplements that are very helpful and they are backed up by scientific studies.   This is not quackery.  General immune health must be improved and shooting yourself full of instructions to produce virus spikes is not the way to do  it.

Retroviruses

Like all infections, the degree to which retroviruses affect us has a great deal to do with the state of our immune system. Thus, a healthy person has many retroviruses in their bodies but keeps them in a mostly inactive state that does not cause any symptoms.

RETROVIRUSES and Chronic Illness- a potentially major breakthrough

They think they know it all…but what if the methylated mRNA they are introducing to manufacture S-protein triggers other retroviruses?

Fingers and Toes

Immune responses in extremities (fingers and toes) can be triggered by Covid (the so called “Covid toe”) but also by the  S-protein (vaccine or transfection).  I had problems with my toes going back at least two years which I put down to chilblains and used ice as a treatment to stop itch.  However, it seems that Covid (at least the Omicron) variant was circulating much earlier (undetected).

 


Many strange diseases of fingers and toes seem to be appearing probably related to blood flow issues and very delicate capillaries.   The point is that the S-protein can aggravate already underlying conditions and make them worse.

Inflamed fingers could be (I am no doctor) caused by an autoimmune response and inflamed capillaries (blood vessels).  This is a form of rheumatoid vasculitis but  it does not necessarily mean joint pain. Look what this says…an abnormally active immune system (instructing your cells to make spikes?)….the presence of other proteins in the blood  (free floating mRNA not encapsulated by the LNP?). In my view both covid and the vaccine (transfection) trigger inflammatory immune responses.  There appear to be many similarities between the inflammatory responses in atherosclerosis and those observed in rheumatoid arthritis (Pasceri V, Yeh ETH. A tale of two diseases: atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Circulation. 1999; 100: 2124–2126.)

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/13290-rheumatoid-vasculitis

The cause of rheumatoid vasculitis is not known. An abnormally active immune system (the body's defense system) appears to play an important role in blood vessel inflammation. Evidence linking the immune system to vasculitis includes:
  • High levels of rheumatoid factor
  • The presence of other proteins in the blood (called immune complexes)
  • Lower levels of proteins in the blood (called complement), which are used up when inflammation occurs.
  • The appearance of inflamed blood vessels under the microscope, which shows immune cells within the wall of the vessel.

My suggestion to combat this would be antibiotics for any secondary infections and high doses of Vitamin C and baby aspirin. Garlic inhibits inflammation and lipid accumulation in the early stage of atherosclerosis (so garlic oil tablets or fresh chopped garlic can be purchased in oil in most supermarkets). Coriander, Cinnamon and Ginger are also key anti-inflammatory supplements.  Cinnamon sticks can be purchased in the supermarket or as supplements and there are various types of tea which use these ingredients. So they can be either fresh or supplements or both and there is solid science behind the effectiveness of these spices.  And remember, whether you have joint pain or not the underlying condition of atherosclerosis is inflammation caused by autoimmunity.

Spices and Atherosclerosis

Another treatment I would consider is hot and cold to stimulate blood flow.  Hands or feet in hot water (as warm as you can bear it) causes Heat Shock Proteins to form.  When my feet swelled I took aspirin, garlic and had very hot baths and saw immediate improvements. Look what this article says about the protein  Heat Shock Factor One (HSF1).

 

Based on these results, it is tempting to hypothesize that the impairment in HSF1 activation may not only cause a disturbed protein homeostasis but also an uncontrolled inflammatory process. Unregulated inflammation in the CNS during aging might contribute to the pathogenesis of neuronal diseases. Therefore, restoration of the heat-shock response and the HSF1 activity may help to delay age-related changes in the brain.......

.....HSPs have been shown to be neuroprotective in many acute and chronic pathological conditions affecting the brain; therefore, they are considered as potential therapeutic targets....

....As molecular chaperones, the main role of HSPs is to suppress the aggregation of misfolded toxic proteins, which can explain their protective effects in protein-misfolding disorders, like AD or PD. HSPB1 and HSPB5 were found to bind to Aβ, inhibiting its fibril formation, therefore reducing its cytotoxic effect in cerebrovascular cell culture in vitro

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2019.00920/full

Therefore, I would try hot water to stimulate HSP and alternate with cold to contract the vessels (but what do I know?).    The installation of a small home Sauna might be a good idea as it also relieves all sorts of aches and pains and helps the body sweat out toxins.

Melatonin

Melatonin

This from the Discord server (thanks to MainPain). Melatonin seems to help prevent the virus doing brain damage which is a long term consequence (no matter how mild the infection).  I have a very good supplement site that I use (PipingRock)  but even-though they have melatonin as a supplement they do not allow dispatch in Australia.  It is used to treat jet-lag and some sleep problems.  So I am ringing my doctor to see if I can get some for my “sleep problem” as I don’t want sleeping tablets.  Don’t tell them you want it in relation to Covid because you will not get it.

Melatonin found to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry into mice brains https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220106/Melatonin-found-to-inhibit-SARS-CoV-2-entry-into-mice-brains.aspx Study Shows That Melatonin Based Drugs Inhibit SARS-Cov-2 Entry Into The Brain And Prevent Damage Of Cerebral Vessels.

Because tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin and serotonin in turn is the precursor to melatonin so reduce tryptophan (like the virus does…) and yeah, melatonin would be deficient and thus be helpful to take But it could also help through tryptophan since the body could theoretically make more melatonin itself from it.” Treatment of Ebola and other infectious diseases: melatonin “goes viral” Feb 21, 2020 http://www.melatonin-research.net/index.php/MR/article/view/71/493

For early treatment of COVID-19, the doses go way up :

  • Ivermectin : 0.2 mg/kg on day 1 and day 3
  • Vitamin D3 : 4,000 IU every day
  • Vitamin C : 4,000 to 6,000 mg every day
  • Quercetin : 500 mg every day
