Mushrooms, long valued for their medicinal properties, are being explored as tools to boost immunity and fight viruses, including SARS-CoV-2
Three studies — two of them FDA-approved — are evaluating whether mushrooms have therapeutic potential for treating COVID-19
Research identified chaga mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus) as having the “widest range of antiviral activity” against different subtypes of influenza virus
Mushrooms contain several immunomodulators, including lectins, proteins, polysaccharides and terpenoids, while there are more than 400 bioactive compounds in reishi mushrooms alone
Researchers from the People’s Republic of Bangladesh believe mushroom-based therapeutic approaches could be used to achieve a “COVID-free world”
Flesh-eating disease (necrotizing fasciitis) can be caused by several different organisms. In cases where the infection is contracted through contact with seawater, the culprit is typically Vibrio vulnificus, a particularly dangerous Vibrio species that occurs naturally in warm seawater
Having liver disease increases your risk of V. vulnificus infection by 800% and your risk of death from it is 200 times higher than those with healthy livers
Having diabetes, HIV, thalassemia or cancer also raises your risk of Vibrio infection, as does taking antacids
Iron overload may be a key factor in life-threatening Vibrio infections. High iron provides prime growth conditions for V. vulnificus, and minihepcidin, an iron-lowering drug, has been shown to cure the infection by inhibiting the bacteria’s growth
Vibrio bacteria have a high affinity for attachment to human skin. In one study, all participants had Vibrio bacteria on their skin after swimming in seawater
Anxiety
is a physiological response to a threat that increases your
inflammatory cytokine levels. If your body's inflamed, you're going to
feel anxious
Cytokines are small proteins that serve to
regulate different tissues. There are both proinflammatory and
anti-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines have specific relevance to
COVID-19, as they modulate your immune system and its function
By
reducing or resolving stress and anxiety, you lower levels of
inflammatory cytokines, thereby allowing your immune system to function
better
Processed
foods cause inflammation, in part by increasing insulin resistance,
which raises inflammatory cytokine production, and in part because they
are loaded with proinflammatory industrially processed omega-6 vegetable
seed oils
Strategies that will activate the vagus nerve,
which induces relaxation and lowers inflammatory markers, include
expressive writing, getting quality sleep, forgiveness practice,
time-restricted eating and supplementing with exogenous ketones

Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., a molecular biologist and toxicologist, has
called for an immediate halt to COVID-19 mRNA and DNA vaccines due to
multiple safety concerns
There’s credible concern that the
COVID jabs will cross-react with syncytin (a retroviral envelope
protein) and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that
may impair fertility and reproductive outcomes
In
the case of the COVID shots, important animal studies that help
ascertain toxic and systemic effects were not done. We’re now seeing
danger signals that are not being heeded. Preliminary safety results of
mRNA COVID shots used in pregnant women, published in April 2021,
revealed an 82% miscarriage rate when the jab was administered during
the first 20 weeks of pregnancy
CDC data reveal more than 300
children between the ages of 12 and 18 have died from myocarditis, a
now-recognized side effect of the COVID jab, yet the shot is now
authorized for children as young as 5
Since
the COVID gene therapies do not prevent infection, but only lessen
symptoms, they are actually a treatment, not a prevention. And there are
far safer and more effective treatment available, including nebulized
peroxide, ozone therapy, and hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin regimens
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the U.S., is said to be a disease associated with aging, but Dr. Chris Knobbe believes it’s mostly related to diet
Nine years of extensive research and investigation have led Knobbe to conclude that AMD is driven by nutrient deficiencies and toxicity, caused by processed foods
In 1900, the top four causes of death were infectious in nature; by 2010, this had all changed, with chronic diseases replacing infectious diseases as the top killers
The four primary components that make up processed foods that are, in turn, contributing to chronic diseases like AMD are sugar, industrially processed seed oils, refined flour and trans fats; industrially processed seed oils are clearly the worst offender
According to Knobbe, there were only 50 cases of AMD described across the globe between 1851 and 1930; this skyrocketed to an estimated 196 million cases in 2020
Knobbe believes that by following an ancestral diet rich in grass fed meat and poultry, pastured dairy, wild-caught fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds, the majority of AMD cases would disappear
In a November 9, 2021, interview with Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe, Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla claimed “a small part of professionals” intentionally circulate “misinformation ... so that they will mislead those that have concerns.” Such medical professionals are not just bad people, Bourla said, “they’re criminals, because they have literally cost millions of lives”
The criminals’ playbook includes the dictum to always blame the other side for what they themselves are guilty of
Pfizer has a long history of criminal activity. The company has been sued in multiple venues over unethical drug testing, illegal marketing practices, bribery in multiple countries, environmental violations — including illegal dumping of PCBs and other toxic waste — labor and worker safety violations and more. It’s also been criticized for price gouging that threatens the lives of patients with chronic diseases such as epilepsy
Between 2002 and 2010, Pfizer was fined $3 billion in criminal convictions, civil penalties and jury awards, including a $2.3 billion fine in 2009, the then-largest health care fraud fine in American history. In 2011, Pfizer paid $14.5 million to settle charges of illegal marketing, and in 2014 they settled charges relating to unlawful marketing of the kidney transplant drug Rapamune to the tune of $35 million. None of it deterred future bad behavior
According to a whistleblower who worked on Pfizer’s Phase 3 COVID jab trial in the fall of 2020, data were falsified, patients were unblinded and follow-up on reported side effects lagged way behind
Via more than 30,000 grants, Gates has contributed at least $319 million to the media
Examples of the Gates Foundations grants include $24,663,066 to NPR and $12,951,391 to The Guardian
From press and journalism associations to journalistic training, Gates is an overarching keeper of the press, which makes true objective reporting pertaining to Gates himself — or his many initiatives — virtually impossible
With a net worth of $130.5 billion, Gates yields incredible power over education, health and social policies
Other major players in media control include BlackRock and the Vanguard Group, the two largest asset management firms in the world, which also control Big Pharma
