Flu Facts and The Truth, Hospitals Now Using Vit. C for Coronavirus, Carbohydrates-Good or Bad? Aspirin Update, Blue Light and Eye Health



THE GREATEST MEDICINE OF ALL… IS TEACHING PEOPLE HOW NOT TO NEED IT


Don’t Believe Everything You Are Told By The Government

I posted this on Facebook, but since a lot of you may not see it I thought I would talk about it here in my blog too.  With the media and big pharma in full gear pushing everyone to get flu shots I thought it might be good to give people a view from the other side.

The public is marketed a lot of lies and misinformation about vaccines and coronavirus. The statistics that the government uses to scare people into taking vaccines are so distorted they are ridiculous and should be criminal.  Robert Kennedy is one of the few people who is standing up to big pharma, and the media who have become their puppet. Take a moment to read this letter that Kennedy sent to Dr. Gupta countering his claims and misinformation he has spread on behalf of the CDC and other government agencies. Finally someone is using science and actual statistics to dispel their false claims and tell us the truth. I have a lot more faith in Robert Kennedy than I do the CDC and other agencies who are bought and paid for by big pharma now. Here is the link to his letter. It is worth reading and will be enlightening for those who don’t do their own research. 

Comment:
One way to make sure the public follows direction and does not think for itself is to control what information we are allowed to read. That is what Google and Facebook are doing now. Any information that does not meet their designated requirements (anything that goes against vaccines or other drug related treatment) is now being blocked automatically. THIS IS CENSORSHIP OF FREE SPEECH! They don’t want you to know the truth or have facts that could interfere with their agenda. I know first-hand because FB has removed articles that I posted that show different results than what the CDC or other agencies may be telling us. They use fear as the best way to get us to do as we are told. And it works. That is why I write this blog so that you have better information than what is being marketed to us by big Pharma and the government.


As a Last Resort Hospitals are Now Using Vitamin C to Treat Coronavirus

This is big news because the medical community never likes to admit that a natural substance works better than their beloved drugs. I reported in my last blog that China was seeing good results in preventing deaths from Coronavirus by using high levels of vitamin C mostly as intravenous IVC. Now some large hospitals are testing and finding that vitamin C is very effective against viruses. Something the natural doctors have been saying for years. The article below gives an update on how vitamin C is being used in hospitals to reduce the death rate of coronavirus patients. Due to the length of the original article I am only printing some excerpts from it. You can read the entire article at: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/04/19/vitamin-c-dosage-for-viral-infection.aspx?cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20200419Z1&et_cid=DM514858&et_rid=854261349


Written Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Some New York hospitals are using vitamin C.  A Northwell Health spokesperson has reportedly confirmed that vitamin C treatment is being "widely used" against coronavirus within the 23-hospital system.

According to Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, vitamin C is being used in conjunction with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin, which have also shown promise in coronavirus treatment.5 Saul notes:

"Northwell, which is the largest health care provider chain in New York state, [has] over 20 hospitals. It's difficult to get information out of them, but to their credit, their spokesperson has announced that vitamin C is being used. And Weber … has reported that the vitamin C works. He said, basically, as close as I can quote him, 'It's not getting more publicity because it's not a sexy drug.' I love that …

If you have vitamin C for prevention, you are much less likely to have a bad case of any kind of viral infection, including COVID-19. Doesn't mean you won't get it; it means that your immune system will be able to handle it, and that's what your immune system does …

In fact, people now are being told if they can manage this at home, [then] please stay home. Leave the hospital beds for those who really need them, and reduce risk of infection. Remember, a hospital, by definition, is where we have our very sickest people with the greatest load of viruses and drug-resistant bacteria that you'll ever find … We don't live in a bubble, we live in a world of viruses, and they're constantly mutating, and they're constantly developing …

Immune-Boosting Supplementation Regimen

For prevention, the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service Editorial Review Board and the Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy both recommend 3,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C a day in divided doses, 400 mg of magnesium … 20 mg of zinc … 100 micrograms (mcg) of selenium … and 5,000 units of vitamin D, scaling down to 2,000 units of vitamin D a day after the first week.

If You Are Already Sick

If you're suddenly feeling under the weather and suspect a viral infection, Saul recommends taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance.

"Take enough C to be symptom free, whatever the amount might be. Dr. Cathcart would say take vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and that's exactly what you think it means. The sicker you are, the more you hold. So, if you are really facing an influenza outbreak, you'll hold a lot of C before you get to bowel tolerance.

This is something that everyone can do at home. My grandchildren can do this. When they get sick, they manage their own case by taking vitamin C until they get to bowel tolerance. Use whatever kind of vitamin C you can afford … [and] take enough C to be symptom free.

The more frequently you can take the vitamin C, the better off [you'll be]. Vitamin C being water soluble is constantly lost … The more often you take it, the better results you will have, and you will need less to do so.

So, taking a small amount of vitamin C every half-hour is actually much better than taking a large amount of C twice a day. And taking a large amount of C twice a day is better than taking a huge amount of C every other day. So, the more often you take it, the friendlier it is for your body."

For acute infection, you may need to increase your dosage somewhat beyond bowel tolerance. Keep in mind that taking it more frequently, such as every half-hour, will allow you to take more before you hit bowel tolerance. Other alternatives include taking a liposomal vitamin C or getting an IV infusion of vitamin C. Liposomal vitamin C can achieve intracellular levels very similar to IV vitamin C at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience.




Carbohydrates: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

By Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D.

You may think that all carbohydrates are bad. But that's not true. Your body needs "good" carbohydrates for energy.

Here's how it works…

To make energy, your body combines carbohydrates from the food you eat with oxygen from the air you breathe. Carbon dioxide and water are the by-products of this process. Of course, you breathe out the carbon dioxide. And the water hydrates the cells in your body. This entire biological process is called cellular respiration.

So what makes some carbohydrates "bad" and some "good"?

Chemically, all carbohydrates are made up of the same molecules: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. But complex carbohydrates as found in whole grains and legumes are better for you because they consist of longer chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

These foods also contain more fiber. And it takes more time for your body to digest and metabolize these longer molecule chains and food fibers. As a result, you don't experience a metabolic "spike" in blood sugar, insulin, or energy when you eat complex carbs. And you don't come crashing down after eating them either.

On the other hand, simple carbohydrates are basic sugars. And they consist of short chains of six carbon molecules. They occur either as single molecules known as monosaccharides. Or they are bound to each other in pairs known as disaccharides.

Fruits contain fructose, which is a monosaccharide. But the body recognizes this simple sugar. In fact, it digests and metabolizes fructose quite easily, as I explained in a recent Daily Dispatch.

Vegetables do contain some simple sugars. But they also contain complex carbohydrates and fibers. And these fibers and complex carbs help slow down the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of the simple sugars. They also allow you to feel fuller and more satisfied for longer periods.

But not all carbs work like this.

Your body handles the "good" carbs in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains drastically differently than it handles "bad" carbs. You find "bad" carbs in all the usual places: artificial syrups, candy, snack foods, sugar, pastries, and desserts. You also find them in white bread, white pasta, and white rice. In fact, in China, they wisely classify white bread, pasta, and rice together with confections and sweets. And this makes sense, because your body handles them in the same way…with spikes and drops in sugar, insulin, and energy.

Potatoes are technically complex carbs. But they act more like simple carbs in the body. And when you eat chips or fries, they are primarily a vehicle for fats and oils. In the end, complex carbs are better for your body because they have longer chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It takes you longer to break these down. And you use up more calories digesting them. As a result, your body pumps fuel into your metabolism at a slower rate. This helps you avoid the rapid fluctuations in insulin and energy caused by "bad" carbs.

Even if you're not on a diet, you can still choose complex over simple carbs. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to change your diet. Or change your menu choices. Just adjust your thinking. Make your spaghetti dinner with whole-wheat pasta instead of plain white pasta. Ask for brown rice at your favorite Asian restaurant.

And when buying packaged foods, look for those that show a complex carb as the first ingredient on the label. This makes it the single most predominant ingredient in the package.

So, look for whole-wheat flour or whole-oat flour at the top of the list. And put back the packages that list enriched white flour as the lead ingredient.

Lastly, try to avoid "empty" calorie snacks. Select whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to meet the daily energy needs of your body. Over time, your body won't crave the "bad" carbs. And it will appreciate the natural sweetness of fruits and even "sweet" vegetables like red peppers. Plus, you will get a lot of other healthy nutrients together with these "good" carbs.


Aspirin - The AHA Changes Its Tune

Finally after years of irresponsible recommendation by the medical community to take daily aspirin to prevent heart and circulation problems, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have reversed their decades long stance and will no longer recommend the daily use of aspirin. As usual, the medical establishment is at least 20 years behind the natural health community in recognizing and warning about dangerous drugs. You can add daily aspirin to the list with Low Fat Diets, Cholesterol Drugs, Eggs are Bad for You, All Vaccines are Safe, Blood Pressure Meds and Avoiding Butter! They were wrong on every one of them and millions of people have died or were harmed because of it. 

Doctors Reverse Decades Old Aspirin Recommendation: Deadly Risks Outweigh Benefits for Heart

This article was written by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2019

Once marketed by Bayer as "The wonder drug that works wonders," aspirin's profound toxicity and potentially deadly side effects can no longer be hidden from the public.

New cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines submitted jointly by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology contradict decades of routine medical advice by explicitly advising against the daily use of low-dose or baby aspirin (75-100 mg) as a preventive health strategy against stroke or heart attack, in most cases:

"Aspirin should be used infrequently in the routine primary prevention of ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk) because of lack of net benefit."

These changes in guidelines follow closely on the heels of three studies on daily aspirin use published in the New England Journal of Medicine that found the practice causes more harm than good to patients.

If you have been following our work over the years on revealing the unintended, adverse effects of both over-the-counter and prescription synthetic painkillers, you may already know that there have been over 50 adverse effects linked to aspirin usage, including deadly bleeding events.

The public's general perception that aspirin is safe and effective is likely based on a widely held misunderstanding about its origin. Despite common misconceptions, aspirin is produced through chemical synthesis and is not the natural compound found in plants like willow bark known as salicylic acid; rather, it is known as acetyl-salicyclic acid which is not found in nature.



Eye Damaging Blue Light

Written by Melissa Young at Health Sciences Institute

You wouldn't go to the beach or pool... take a Sunday afternoon drive... or hit the links on a bright summer's day without wearing sunglasses.

It's a fact of life on Earth that we all know: The sun's rays can be damaging to your eyes!

But what about when you're indoors? You probably never think about protecting your eyes when you're not out in the sunshine.

A new study out of the University of Toledo, however, puts indoor dangers in a whole new light, so to speak!

The researchers found that the "toxic" blue light that shines on your eyes when you use your computer, tablet, or phone can gradually steal your vision without you even realizing it.

Luckily, however, there are a number of simple routines you can adopt to protect your eyes... and there's one habit in particular that you should dispense with immediately!

While we're also exposed to blue light when it radiates from the sun, this era of spending hours gazing at high-tech gadgets is a whole new form of deadly eye damage -- one that can kill cells in the retina that are vital to your vision.

Now, researchers have found out exactly why exposure to these electronic marvels endangers your eyesight.

They discovered that when blue light from digital devices (as well as the sun) strikes your eyes, it can cause retinal molecules that are vital for vision to start pumping out a toxic substance -- one that can jump-start macular degeneration.

In other words, blue light actually turns these beneficial molecules into lethal weapons!

And when the toxins it produces kills the essential photoreceptor cells in the retina, unfortunately, they don't regenerate.

"When they're dead," one of the Toledo researchers said, "they're dead for good."

Already 11 million people in the U.S. have some type of age-related macular degeneration, a number that is expected to double in the next few decades And the addictive gadgets that everyone is glued to morning, noon, and night may be the reason behind that astronomical rise.

Considering the damage that blue light can cause... and how most kids seem to spend the entire day staring at their phones... you might wonder why everyone doesn't have macular degeneration by now!

Well, that's because our bodies use an antioxidant derived from vitamin E (called alpha tocopherol) to keep those essential eye cells from dying off.

Unfortunately, as we age, our alpha tocopherol levels tank. So, it's no coincidence that age-related macular degeneration is a disease that strikes those mostly over 60.

But as I mentioned, there are steps you can take to lower you risk, given that we're unlikely to stop using all these devices anytime soon!

Along with protecting your eyes by wearing sunglasses that block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays when you go outside, you can take these important indoor and outdoor precautions:

#1: Lower the blue light emitted by your PC or laptop (if you eliminate it entirely, the screen will look red or green!). Some monitors have an "eye saver" switch, or if you're using a laptop screen, you can turn down the brightness by going to the section on your computer settings that's called "display." If you have Windows 10 (the latest version) set up on your machine, there's even a "night light" switch that you can activate to turn on in the evening.

There are also filter screens for computers and tablets, as well as glasses that are said to block blue light.

All of those serve the purpose of "warming" up the light shining from your screen and tuning down the blue.

#2: Most phones have a blue light filter built right in that you can activate. At first, the screen might seem dull, but once you get used to it, believe me, the original screen brightness will appear blinding.

#3: Load up on foods that are high in that eye-saving alpha-tocopherol, which is the best form of vitamin E. Wheat germ oil, almonds, hazelnuts, avocados, salmon, and even mangos are good sources. If you're taking a vitamin E supplement, make sure that it's called "d-alpha tocopherol," or "mixed tocopherols" (since a form of vitamin E called dl-alpha tocopherol is a synthetic version that you don't want to take).

And last, but most certainly not least, one of the worst habits possible when it comes to blasting your eyes with the blue light from phones and tablets is to use them in the dark -- such as by checking your email or Facebook after "lights out" while you're in bed.

That's when it's time to hit the sack... and shut off all the gadgets!



Until next time, stay healthy and happy
