Can Progesterone prevent miscarriages ?

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended women who experience bleeding early in pregnancy and have had a miscarriage be offered progesterone to reduce the risk of losing another pregnancy
   
The guidance is based on research evidence that shows progesterone may prevent 8,450 miscarriages each year. There are different types of progesterone, including vaginal suppositories, gel, insert, oral capsule or injection

Women may experience some side effects, including abnormal vaginal bleeding, chest pain, flu-like symptoms, unusual fatigue, and fluid retention
   
Pregnant women have added challenges during the pandemic including exposure to people who asymptomatically carry COVID-19. Take care to wash your hands, steer clear of drugs that have a negative effect on the growing baby, maintain healthy levels of vitamin D and seek to eat foods high in vitamin C

Surgeon General recommends nutraceuticals

Dr. Joseph Ladapo was appointed Florida surgeon general and secretary of the Florida Department of Health by Gov. Ron DeSantis September 21, 2021
   
Ladapo has now issued a statewide public service announcement in support of commonsense COVID prevention strategies such as optimizing your vitamin D, staying active, eating nutrient-dense foods and boosting your immune system with supplements such as vitamin C, quercetin and zinc

Florida Health even highlights emerging treatments such as fluvoxamine and inhaled budesonide. Importantly, Florida Health now states that “Physicians should use their clinical judgment when recommending treatment options for patients’ individualized health care needs. This may include emerging treatment options with appropriate patient informed consent, including off-label use or as part of a clinical trial”

Despite publishing a scientific review on vitamin D for COVID in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients, and the paper being the second most downloaded article this year, I’ve been vilified and targeted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission for reporting its benefits

The evidence for vitamin D against COVID-19 satisfies Hill’s criteria for causality in a biological system, and dozens of studies have demonstrated vitamin D helps reduce all risks associated with COVID

Vitamin D deficiency causes illness

A wealth of data show that vitamin D levels are strongly correlated with the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection
   
A strong correlation was found between SARS-CoV-2 death rate and vitamin D level, such that mortality decreased significantly once vitamin D levels reached 30 ng/mL
   
A vitamin D blood level of 50 ng/mL “may prevent any excess mortality” from COVID-19

Vitamin D receptors are present in nearly all cells of the human immune system, including monocytes/macrophages, T cells, B cells, natural killer cells and dendritic cells
   
Vitamin D helps to regulate both your innate and adaptive immune systems, warding off both acute and chronic diseases, provided your levels are optimized
   
The best way to know how much vitamin D you need is to have your levels tested and increase sensible sun exposure and/or supplementation, aiming for a level between 60 and 80 ng/mL

Study: Heart attack victims had normal cholesterol

A review of information on 136,905 people who had a heart attack showed that 72.1% had LDL cholesterol levels within the normal range
   
The theory that cholesterol increases heart attack risk may be the work of pharmaceutical companies chasing a bigger return on statin drugs

Vegetable oils have been promoted in place of saturated animal fat, which has been vilified. Righting this wrong is a powerful way of reversing chronic disease
   
Cholesterol levels are not as reliable as the omega-3 index, cholesterol ratios, fasting insulin levels and fasting blood sugar levels in predicting risk

Rapidly improving metabolism to fight infection

The 21-Day Immunity Plan

A Special Interview With Dr. Aseem Malhotra

 

While SARS-CoV-2 is a rampant virus that can cause severe problems in vulnerable individuals, the real pandemic — the underlying cause that makes people susceptible to complications from the infection in the first place — is poor metabolic health
   
Aside from old age, obesity has been identified as one of the primary risk factors for being hospitalized with COVID-19 — doubling the risk of hospitalization in patients under the age of 60 in one study  

One hypothesis for why obesity is worsening COVID-19 has to do with the fact that obesity causes chronic inflammation. Having more proinflammatory cytokines in circulation increases your risk of experiencing a cytokine storm
   
Insulin resistance is another top risk factor for COVID-19 that worsens outcomes and increases your risk of death

There are five primary parameters of metabolic health: waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and triglyceride and HDL levels. Having three or more abnormal parameters is indicative of metabolic syndrome

Treatments for COVID-19

A Special Interview With Dr. Pierre Kory

 

From the start of the COVID pandemic, doctors were told they could not use any treatment that had not undergone randomized controlled trials. Most all clinical successes have been ignored and vehemently opposed
   
The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) was among the first to publish COVID treatment guidance. They have since developed protocols for prevention, early at-home treatment, in-hospital treatment and maintenance guidance for long-haul COVID syndrome that are updated as more becomes known

Corticosteroids can be an effective tool for reducing inflammation in general, but they appear particularly important for advanced COVID infection. Steroids should not be used early on, but can be lifesaving after you develop signs of lung dysfunction and increased oxygen requirement
   
Ivermectin has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties and is beneficial in all stages of COVID-19, from prevention to advanced illness
   
Other effective protocols include the AAPS protocol, Tess Laurie’s World Council for Health protocol and the America’s Frontline Doctors’ protocol

CoQ10 helps against chronic diseases

CoQ10 is the third-most consumed supplement, after fish oil and multivitamins
   
CoQ10 keeps your mitochondria healthy and plays a crucial role in the production of ATP, the cellular energy required to keep you alive

CoQ10 deficiencies have been linked to many health problems, including migraines, heart disease and cancer
   
Conversely, supplementing with CoQ10, or the natural form called ubiquinol, may help improve several chronic health conditions such as AFib, NAFLD and heart failure
