Is Omicron lab made ?

According to media reports, the Omicron variant was discovered in Botswana, in four fully “vaccinated” individuals. Physicians in South Africa responded saying that while the variant has been detected, they are not seeing significant illness from it. All cases so far have been mild and none has required hospitalization
   
Omicron appears to be evading the COVID jab, resulting in breakthrough infections at a higher rate than previous variants. This is a sign that the mass vaccination campaign may be breeding “vaccine” resistance
   


There’s a curious feature of Omicron, however, that hints at it having been modified in a lab. The closest genetic sequences date back to mid-2020. It doesn’t seem to belong to any of the evolutionary branches that have emerged since
   
Omicron has 25 nonsynonymous and only one synonymous spike mutation compared to its most recent common ancestor, AV.1. Were it a natural occurrence, that ratio ought to be somewhere between 25 to 50 and 25 to 100
   
There’s no precedent for this oddity occurring in nature. There is, however, precedent for this in lab-leaked pandemics

Bad sleep can cause cardiac death

A lack of quality sleep may be associated with nearly every heart-related death, and also may be associated with heart failure, stroke, diabetes and worsening obesity
   
The pandemic has had an influence on sleep quality; results from a survey show that 71.8% of people with disrupted sleep patterns used technology just before bed

Sleep deprivation is associated with several other health conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions
   
In one survey, it was reported that the average person got just 5.5 hours of sleep each night; sleep quality is impacted by light and EMF pollution, which you can improve

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
