In this newsletter, I am probably going to offend a few people. I usually seem to. But I am sick of this, and sick of holding back in what I write. Those that understand wellness will ‘get it’ and those that do not, never will. I am sorry so many people have died horribly from a respiratory illness, 90% of which I beleive could have been not just been avoided but easily avoided with a government health policy, rather than an illness policy (and not even a very good one at that). That’s too big a subject to go into here, but now I have got that comment out of the way, let’s go.
Here is one way of protecting yourself from a respiratory disease….
Personally, I do not believe that wearing a snotty rag over my face will accomplish anything, and I am not going to be doing it any more. I greatly resented it the first time, but I am really done with this complete BS now. If you do believe in it, that’s fine, then you wear a mask, just don’t impose your drivel on me. Here is a second way of doing things, and the result which it produced….
The exact same thing happened in Israel, also one of the most vaccinated, in other words poisoned, countries on the globe, and even after a lockdown that was so strict that for weeks, it was illegal for Israeli citizens to go more than 100 meters from their homes. For some reason which I have not as yet fathomed, I have loved ones in Israel who STILL think that being poisoned is a great way to go, even though this approach failed, and what happened there was the same as what happened in Singapore. I cannot give you a rational reason as to why they still believe in what is obvious nonsense (it’s like The Emperor’s New Clothes, quite frankly). What DID happen in Israel, is that many healthy people had their lives ruined, and then when they spoke about it (the ones who weren’t dead of course), they got censored.
USA vs UK vs Sweden and the COVID death rate
Here is a third way of doing things. Loads of stupid and worthless attacks on our freedom of movement, freedom to work, freedom of assembly, and general assaults on our civil liberties (the UK, USA), vs a minimal / light touch approach where it comes to government encroachment (Sweden) on its citizens day to day activities.
As you can see, the lockdowns and mask mandates accomplished….wait for it…..drum roll…..let’s just keep the tension going a little bit longer……NOTHING!……YAY! Congratulations Boris! Congratulations Joe Biden. You will both go down in world history for ruining your own economies, causing a massive spike in suicides and depression, whilst being completely ineffectual. During this time, the people of Sweden got on with their lives.
The Swedish Epidemiologist
So I was watching Channel 4 News around 18 months ago when they interviewed Nils Anders Tegnell, thestate epidemiologist of Sweden. Their version of Professor Chris Witty and ‘Professor Doom’, Neil Ferguson rolled into one. At the time, he was being heavily criticised around the world for his “irresponsible” advice to the Swedish government, advising that lockdowns won’t actually work. He said that he predicted that every developed country would end up at the same point in terms of the number of people sadly killed by Covid-19, no matter what policy the government adopted. The graph above shows he was right.
What should we do?
The way to avoid being ill, is to be well. It’s so simple! I am NOT someone who ‘never gets ill’. Before I got into all this natural medicine malarkey, I got every cold and flu there was! Nonetheless, I recently spent around seven hours in very close quarters with someone who was diagnosed with Covid-19 two days later and sadly, suffered very badly. I MUST have breathed in her viral shedding during those seven hours, and I believe I probably did have Covid myself as a result, because a few days later. I came down with a blocked nose and sinuses, which lasted for nearly a week, and there was no other reasonably obvious cause for this problem. It was a complete pain in the neck, or in this case olfactory canal, although I had no other symptoms at all, and was able to carry on as normal. However illnesses tend to go to our vulnerable areas, and my vulnerability since I was a child has always been this area of my body. I refused to have a covid test, and was working hard helping other people, so I didn’t have time. Assuming my hypothesis is correct, why did I get so few symptoms? Well, here is what I did…
1. Took one massive shot per day of the antiviral, Oxylift (30 drops in one go) in a few ounces of water. Taking it just once per day isn’t ideal, or even what I usually recommend, but I was taking so many other things, that I just didn’t remember to take it more than that. I regard this as one of our primary virus management products, and had I felt it was necessary, I would have taken 30 drops up to five times a day.
2. Continued taking Vitamin D3 with K2, though I went up from my usual 5,000iu per day to 10,000 for a week or so.
3. Continued taking 15mg per day of zinc (I tend to alternate between this one and this one)
4. Continued taking 200mcg’s per day of selenium
5. Increased my Vitamin C from 1g per day for general health, to 2g, three times per day (6g in total). I would have increased this further had I had more significant symptoms.
6. Continued taking 300mg per say of magnesium, which I take anyway, but would have helped with my respiratory health had I had any symptoms (which I didn’t) together with the oxylift. We sell many different forms, but this is the one I normally take.
7. Continued taking Olive Leaf Extract, which is another potent antiviral, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-aging and general health tonic, which I have been taking for the last year or so both for viral prevention and general health.
If you can handle it, read the article Oleuropein in Olive and its Pharmacological Effects found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3002804/#b69-scipharm.2010.78.133 to learn more. Quick quote from a bit of it…. “Oleuropein has several pharmacological properties (Fig. 4), including antioxidant [2], anti-inflammatory [36], anti-atherogenic [37], anti-cancer [38], antimicrobial [39], and antiviral [40], and for these reasons, it is commercially available as (a) food supplement in Mediterranean countries. In addition, oleuropein has been shown to be cardioprotective against acute adriamycin cardiotoxicity [41] and has been shown to exhibit anti-ischemic and hypolipidemic activities [42]……Further pharmacological activity of oleuropein includes diverse healing properties due to its vasodilatory [89], anti-platelet aggregation [90], hypotensive [91, 92], anti-rheumatic [36], diuretic [91] and antipyretic [93] effects. Prevention of free radical formation by oleuropein occurs through its ability to chelate metal ions, such as Cu and Fe, which catalyze free radical generation reactions [94], and through its inhibitory effect on several inflammatory enzymes like lipoxygenases [48]. Previously, oleuropein was reported to have an anti-hyperglycemic effect in diabetic rats [95]. Oleuropein inhibits hyperglycemia and oxidative stress induced by diabetes, which suggests that administration of oleuropein is helpful in the prevention of diabetic complications associated with oxidative stress [96].”
8. Continued taking Myomax, which helps with Vitamin D3 absorption, and even more importantly provides mitchondrial support. (If ever I have time, I must write an article on the connection between mitochondrial health and prevention of viral progression – though the renowned Dr Joeseph Mercola has covered this extensively in the last 18 months or so).
9. Continued taking NADH, which is even more important for mitochondrial health, and is probably the single most potent “life force energy” / opposing chronic fatigue, single nutrient I have ever come across. I believe I saw it save my own father’s life when we was seriously ill and it gave him two additional years he would not otherwise have had. Available as a sublingual tablet (do not chew or swallow it!) or a delayed release capsules.
10. Not as directly relevant for fighting / preventing viral illness, but since people ask, I continued taking all my other regular supplements (about half a dozen or so).
Obviously not everyone is a supplement junkie like me, and I don’t expect everyone to take what I take. And the above list is not fully comprehensive. For those who are interested, please view the Viral Management herbs section of the web site. But I get asked frequently what I take for daily health, so there you are. I never get colds and flus any more (unless you count a blocked nose for a few days, which I admit was annoying), so I must be doing something right.
Be well!
