This was the claim made by a doctor on Sky News on January 2nd. I decided after hearing this rather bold claim to investigate whether it seemed to have any merit. The first thing I will say is that knowledge about the benefits or otherwise of mask wearing is not a medical expertise, it’s a health and safety expertise. The SPECIFIC area of expertise that covers this subject are people qualified in the area known as “Occupational and environmental health toxicology”. The expertise is a highly specialised area. Doctors are not trained to have any more expertise on this question than you or me, no matter how clean-cut, impressive and articulate they may appear when standing in their white coat of authority. So when I look for advice and information about whether wearing a snot filled bit of cotton covering (well let’s face it, actually blocking) my air passages, causing hypoxia and hypercapnia is actually going to make me healthier or unhealthier, or provide any protection against an illness, these are the people I am going to get my advice from. Not from some witless doctor on Sky News who has no more qualification on the subject than myself. So I sought, and I found.
And here it is….Mask Whisteblowers Tell All – with two occupational health safety professionals who are in fact trained to know about these things. I do hope you will take the time to watch this video prior to forming a fixed opinion. I share it for good reason.
Traditionally of course, masks were worn to prevent bacterial infection in surgical situations. They were never designed to prevent viral infections. This is primarily because they don’t.
But whoa….maybe even the experts shown in the video above are wrong, and I am fool to have any faith in them. Experts aren’t always right. So I decided to look into this in more depth for myself using the OurWorldInData.org web site. I began by looking at the date on which the geniuses who run our country made us start wearing airway and oxygen blocking rags over our faces. July 24th 2020. Here was the situation at the time….
And here is what happened after wearing an environmentally catastrophic rag over your face became compulsory up to the date in question…
Does this look like a policy that is working to you? Do you need to be Einstein to conclude that this does not look like a policy that has much value, perhaps has no value at all, and that maverick doctors like retired G.P. Dr Vernon Coleman and quite a few others may be right in thinking this policy is not merely ineffective but downright harmful? (And is it not interesting that the doctors who do speak out are often retired? Is it because they have dementia, or is it because they are finally free to speak their minds because they cannot lose their jobs?). Have you noticed the disgusting damage to the environment where you live? Let’s not even discuss the number that will end up in the oceans of the world and the detrimental effect they will have there.
Should you break the law and refuse to wear a mark?
Personally, I am wearing a worthless and probably harmful piece of irritating cotton over my face when I go shopping – though reluctantly and with huge resentment. I am utterly sick of being told what to do by other people, but I cannot reccomend people to break the rules.
“Covid denial”
Most of my readers know that I disagree with pretty much every aspect of public policy concerning the handling of COVID-19. I have had a few people (minimal admittedly) contact me to tell me to shut up, and that I do not have a right to express my opinion. Some have said I am a “Covid deniar” – a horrid phrase, which willfuilly and frivolously paraphrases the term “holocaust deniar” referencing the appalling murder of millions of people from one religion, in an attempt to censor those who do not agree with public policy. In fact quite a large number of my friends have had the Covid virus, with varying degrees of severity, so the only thing I “deny” is the wisdom of public health policy. This is because it’s not a health policy, its an illness policy, and not one I agree with. One person wrote to me to inform me that I am an “Idjit”, which I can only assume is the name of a member of an obscure native American tribe, which is also, I am afraid, erroneous. And others have said that I am a “conspiracy theorist”, which seems to refer to more or less anyone who may have the temerity to disagree with government policy or the philosophy of most (but not all) medical doctors that inform that policy, and I should therefore be censored, no-platformed and so on. Well, sorry guys, but I am not going to go away, though if you hate my newsletters obviously you have every right to hit the unsubscribe button and this will end the torture for good and you can remain in blissful denial of the possibility of anyone but yourself even potentially having a valid opinion, worthy of discussion.
Where it comes to placing rags on our faces, I think the evidence above combined with the Mask Whisteblowers Tell All video will be enough to at least sow a degree doubt into the minds of anyone who thinks rationally. Others have the right to disagree with me, and I have no objection to rational, calm disagreement.
Either way, I will never change my view, which is that that the best way of promoting health is to promote wellness rather than fight illness. Wearing a rag over your airways, impairing proper oxygenation of the body is not a step which predisposes a person towards better health. Here are some steps that in my opinion, do…
1. Oxygen Elements Max or Oxylift
I mentioned the uselsss face rags which cause hypoxia (improper oxygenation, because you can’t breathe properly). Oxygen Elements Max and Oxylift are similar products, both designed to create an oxygenating reaction in the body via a rather complex enzymic reaction that they set off in the body. Where it comes to harmful microorganisms below are the results of some tests carried out on Oxylift soon after it was launched, which the supplier was kind enough to share with me at the time, against a range of microbes that we would be best off not having in our bodies. I’m no microbiologist but you don’t have to be to see that appears to show that it killed all of the microorganisms tested by the 7th day, with no regrowth detected by the 14th day.
As these are amongst our most popular products, and we have sold them for many years, we have built up quite a lot of positive customer reviews over the years, which you can view on the website for yourself for inspiration. People often report that these products alone make flus and colds a thing of the past, not to mention give them a tremendous energy boost.
2. Keep some naturally healthy herbal antivirals / immune boosters in stock, which in our experience have no harmful side effects
Galangal Formula – formulated to prevent viruses. In times of urgent need you can ignore the label dosage and take 4 capsules 3 x per day.
Camu Formula – formulated to boost immunity. In times of urgent need you can ignore the label dosage and take 4 capsules 3 x per day.
“These formulae have been developed because we were dissatisfied with currently available products. Using our test system (Vega Biokinesiology), we find that single herbs “power score” (a measure of efficacy) 5-20, currently available herbal formulae power score 15-30, and our formulae power score 35-50. We therefore believe that our formulae are up to three times more effective than existing herbal formulae. The herbs used in our formulae have been selected purely empirically, without recourse to the literature. For each formula we screen hundreds of herbs and then having made the initial choice we test for antagonism, synergism, allergenicity and tolerability before we decide on the final selection. In all we conduct around three thousand separate tests for each formula.”
Other anti-viral botanicals you might like to consider include herbs like Cat’s Claw, Pau d’Arco, Oregano Oil, and Gingko Biloba.
3. Vitamin C – Come on guys, surely you all know about this already by now! If you don’t you really aren’t trying! The best selling one we provide, on which we also get consistently good feedback is this one. Cheap, effective, with a lot of very positive customer reviews. Vitamin C is described by cardiologist Dr Thomas Levy as “an absolute anti-viral”, as have many others before him.
4. Vitamin D – In worthwhile dosages of 5,000 iu per day, preferably with Vitamin K2 – not the completely useless dosages recommended by the government which will have no effect whatsoever on immunity. I’ve covered this subject many times over the last year in depth, so I am not going to keep repeating the same thing. But cutting a long story short, the people who die of Covid-19 are nearly always vitamin D deficient, and just supplementing with this alone (in serious dosages) will make an astonishing difference to viral disease outcomes, in a profoundly positive way.
I’m not suggesting here that this is the be all and end all, but there is a limit to how much information I can squeeze into one newsletter. So go and do your own research as there are countless food supplements that improve your health and ward off harmful microorganisms. I’m getting bored of writing newsletters about viruses, and I intend to make this the last one on this subject for a while, but I have been intending to cover the obvious stupidity and worthlessness of wearing snotty rags over our faces in order to make us healthy, rather than taking steps that genuinely make us healthy, and support immunity and viral resistence for the last six months. Hopefully you will appreciate that living in a socially distanced bubble, staying indoors lying on the sofa watching TV, reducing social contact (since when did giving someone a hug weaken our immune systems, given that every study ever conducted on hugging has said the exact opposite), and wearing rags over our airways is not the right approach to building robust, powerful, youthful immunity.
Have a good weekend
