Japan Ahead of the Curve: mRNA Blood Transfusion Risk

https://expose-news.com/2024/05/27/potential-deadly-risks-of-blood-transfusions/

Researchers Call for Urgent Action to Address Mass Contamination of Blood Supply

By Dr. Joseph Mercola

May 27, 2024

In a recent meta-analysis1,2 posted on preprints.org, Japanese researchers warn of potentially deadly risks to patients who receive blood from people who have taken mRNA covid injections and call for urgent action to ensure the safety of the global blood supply. According to the authors:3

Blood From Injected Donors May Pose Risk to Neurological Health

One particular risk addressed in this paper is the implications of blood tainted with prion-like structures found within the spike protein. Prions are misfolded proteins that can cause neurodegenerative diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (“CJD”) in humans, by inducing the misfolding of normal proteins in the brain.

Prion diseases are characterised by a long incubation period, followed by rapid progression and high mortality. The suggestion that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, especially from certain variants, might contain prion-like domains raises concerns for several reasons:

  • Transmission risk – If spike proteins with prion-like structures can be transmitted through blood transfusions, there might be a risk of inducing prion diseases in recipients. Prion diseases are notoriously difficult to diagnose early, have no cure and are fatal, making any potential transmission through blood products a significant safety concern.
  • Detection and removal challenges – Current blood screening processes do not specifically test for prions, partly because prion diseases are rare and partly due to the technical challenges in detecting prions at low concentrations. If spike proteins with prion-like properties are present in the blood of covid injected people, existing blood safety protocols may not be adequate to prevent transmission.
  • Long-term safety concerns – Prion diseases have long latency periods, meaning that symptoms can appear years or even decades after exposure. This delay complicates efforts to trace the source of an infection back to a blood transfusion and assess the safety of blood supplies over time.
  • Impacts on blood supply management – Concerns about the potential risks associated with prion-like structures in spike proteins might lead to changes in donor eligibility criteria or the implementation of additional screening measures. These changes could impact the availability of blood products, which are critical for routine medical procedures.
  • Public confidence – Public awareness of these potential risks, even if they are theoretical or have a very low likelihood of occurring, could affect people’s willingness to donate or receive blood transfusions, thereby lowering blood donation rates and the overall trust in the safety of blood transfusions.

The authors stress the need for comprehensive studies to better understand the implications of these prion-like structures in the spike protein, not only for mRNA jab safety but also for the broader implications for public health measures like blood transfusion practices.

Other Potential Health Hazards of Contaminated Blood

Contaminated blood may also pose other serious health risks, including:

1. Reduced immune function among blood recipients – It’s been shown that the more doses of the covid “vaccine” you’ve received, the more likely you are to suffer future infections, either by SARS-CoV-2 or other viruses, due to antibody-dependent enhancement.

Blood donations from people who have received several doses of mRNA injections may not provide adequate immunity against common infections, resulting in subclinical infections and diseases in recipients.

2. Formation of blood clots and amyloid aggregates – If the immune system of a blood recipient isn’t strong enough to neutralise spike protein, blood clots and amyloid aggregates may also form.

3. Chronic inflammation – Prolonged exposure to the antigens from the covid-19 injections can trigger the generation of IgG4 antibodies, resulting in chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction.

IgG4 antibodies are often associated with chronic exposure to antigens, such as those seen in persistent infections, certain cancers, and prolonged exposure to allergens. IgG4 antibodies are also associated with a unique condition known as IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD), a fibro-inflammatory condition characterised by swellings or masses in affected organs.4

Blood Transfusions and the Risk of Autoimmune Diseases

The authors also raise concerns about the potential of contaminated blood to cause autoimmune diseases in recipients. Recent research found that the RNA pseudouridylation, a process in which uracil is swapped out for synthetic methylpseudouridine, can cause frameshifting, basically a glitch in the decoding, which can trigger the production of off-target aberrant proteins.

The antibodies that develop as a result may, in turn, trigger off-target immune reactions. In addition to that, lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”), a key component of the covid injections, have been identified as highly inflammatory and possessing more potent adjuvant activity compared to traditional vaccine adjuvants, which further increases the risk of an autoimmune response. As reported in the featured paper:5

Proposals for Managing Blood Collection

The authors outline several specific proposals for managing blood collection and blood products from individuals who have received genetic “vaccines.” Given the variety of blood-related abnormalities observed post-injection, the researchers argue that rigorous and precautionary measures in blood handling and transfusion practices have now become a necessity.

A key part of the proposal involves conducting thorough interviews with potential blood donors. These interviews should cover their vaccination status, number of doses received, their covid-19 infection history, and any symptoms they might be experiencing that could indicate conditions like post-vaccination syndrome (“PVS”), long covid or other complications.

The researchers also recommend deferral periods for blood collected from covid injection recipients – 48 hours for mRNA shots and six weeks for AstraZeneca DNA jab recipients. A series of tests are also proposed to ensure the safety of collected blood, including:

Mass spectrometry to measure spike protein content PCR for detecting the presence of spike protein mRNA and DNA
Testing for markers associated with autoimmune disorders Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Immunophenotyping Liquid biopsies combined with proteomics to detect and quantify spike protein and its mRNA

The authors also note that policies and procedures must be constantly revised as new risks and problems with blood products derived from mRNA and DNA injection recipients are identified.

Ensuring Safety of Current Blood Products

The paper also reviews strategies to ensure the safety of blood products already collected, highlighting the complex challenges that medical institutions, regulatory bodies, and the broader healthcare ecosystem must navigate in the wake of the widespread use of mRNA injections.

The primary concern is the risk posed to patients by the use of blood products from donors who have received gene-based injections without confirming the presence or absence of spike proteins or modified mRNA. To ensure their safety, methods to quantify potential contaminants must be developed and implemented as soon as possible.

Another critical issue that must be addressed is the current lack of reliable methods to remove spike proteins or modified mRNA from blood products. The authors warn that, given the potential persistence, low solubility, heat resistance and radiation resistance of these components, current methodologies are inadequate for the job. The only solution, they say, is to discard all blood products found to contain these contaminants until effective removal techniques are established.

Researchers Call for Widespread Blood Testing

Additionally, the researchers call for widespread testing of both injected and non-injected to assess the potential transmission of spike proteins through exosomes (so-called shedding).

As noted by the authors:

Ensuring the traceability of blood products and establishing a rigorous legal and regulatory framework to manage the myriad issues arising from the use of blood products derived from covid-injected individuals are also paramount. This includes creating systems for the registration of all potential donors, ensuring the traceability of blood products and conducting recipient outcome studies.

Call to Pause: Evaluating the Risks and Benefits of Genetic Vaccines for a Safer Future

In conclusion, the authors point out that if we continue using mRNA-LPN-based platforms to replace conventional vaccines or create new ones, then the risks to our blood and bone marrow supply will be augmented further.

“The impact of these genetic vaccines on blood products and the actual damage caused by them are unknown at present,” they write.6

Japan Ahead of the Curve

Japan appears to be ahead of the curve not only in showing the seriousness of the mRNA injection issues, but politically as well.  Recently, Kazuhiro Haraguichi, former Japanese Minister for Internal Affairs has become the first major politician to apologize to the unvaccinated for the tsunami of deaths occurring among the ‘vaccinated.’  After getting two out of three COVID shots which were from ‘lethal’ batches, he developed a rapidly progressing form of cancer.  Three of his colleagues were also severely affected, but they haven’t spoken out.  He states those that do are censored.  He has urged people to stand united in challenging the government.

Thelibertybeacon.com reports: One of the key points in Haraguchi’s speech was his criticism of the ban on Ivermectin, a drug developed by Dr. Satoshi Omura, which he believed could have played a significant role in combating the pandemic. Haraguchi questioned the motives behind the ban, suggesting that economic interests were prioritized over public health.

ACTION: Protect CBD

Take Action Now to Protect CBD!

The House Agriculture Committee is considering amendments to the upcoming Farm Bill. We need to act fast to oppose a terrible amendment that would federally ban all ingestible hemp products with any level of THC. 

This would destroy a huge percentage of the industry, including many CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products that have many health-supporting cannabinoids along with naturally-occurring but non-intoxicating levels of THC.

You can read the text of the amendment here. 

We must oppose this amendment and preserve our access to CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products. Write to your member of Congress to oppose this amendment!

CBD is what pharmacologists call a promiscuous drug. That means it could be effective for treating a number of medical conditions. In broad strokes, CBD affects more than one process in the body – a term called polypharmacology – and so could benefit more than one medical condition.

As of early 2023, there are 202 ongoing or completed scientific trials examining the effectiveness of CBD in humans on such diverse disorders as chronic pain, substance use disorders, anxiety and arthritis.

In particular, CBD appears to be an anti-inflammatory agent and analgesic, similar to the functions of aspirin. This means it might be helpful for treating people suffering with inflammatory pain, like arthritis, or headaches and body aches.

CBD also holds potential for use in cancer therapy, although it has not been approved by the FDA for this purpose.

And this, right here, is why it simply must go.  It does too many things simultaneously that interferes with Big Pharma profits and since most of our politicians are all in bed with Big Pharma, there is a concerted effort to ban it, plain and simple.

 

 

 

Nine Treatments for MCAS

Nine Treatments for Mast Cell Activation SyndromeManaging MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach; experimenting with these suggestions to see what works best for you

By Jill Carnahan, MD

While there is no cure for MCAS, that certainly doesn’t mean you’re simply at the mercy of your misbehaving mast cells. There are a number of tools you can put into place that can work in conjunction to minimize or even eradicate symptoms and help restore balance to your immune system.

Because each person grappling with MCAS is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment strategy. Rather, managing MCAS requires a trial-and-error approach – experimenting with different treatments and lifestyle tweaks to see what works best for you.

SO IF YOU’RE TRYING TO FIND RELIEF FROM MCAS SYMPTOMS, HERE’S WHAT I RECOMMEND:
TREATMENT 1:

Eat a Low-Histamine Diet

low-histamine dietHistamine is one of the primary pro-inflammatory mediators released when mast cells degranulate. So, getting your histamine levels under control is a top priority. One way to do this is by following a “low-histamine diet” – an elimination diet that aims to minimize the amount of histamine you ingest from foods and beverages.

While reducing high-histamine foods can be helpful, the best way to truly identify and track which foods may be a trigger, is to keep a daily log of what you’re eating and drinking and the severity of your symptoms. This will help you identify any patterns and more easily recognize foods that may be contributing to your symptoms. As someone who’s had to work through my own personal food sensitivities, I promise taking the time to get to the bottom of this is worth it.

TREATMENT 2:

Use a DAO Enzyme Supplement

Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme responsible for degrading histamine. However, if you’re not producing enough of this crucial enzyme, histamine can begin to accumulate and run amok – triggering many of the symptoms associated with MCAS.

mast cell treatment DAO

That’s where DAO supplements come in. DAO supplements increase the DAO levels in the digestive tract – reducing the level of histamine entering the bloodstream and floating around in your body which can provide some relief from the symptoms associated with histamine overload.

There are a number of DAO supplements available over the counter, but be careful – ordering from Amazon may be convenient, but it’s also where fake and/or poor quality supplements run galore. (See my website for supplements I approve of.)

TREATMENT 3:

Incorporate Antihistamines and Mast Cell Stabilizers

mast cell treatment natural stabilizersWhile DAO supplements are excellent for reducing the amount of histamine absorbed from the food you ingest, these mighty supplements are unable to enter your bloodstream to reduce the amount of histamine produced within your body. This means that excess histamine produced by your own cells needs to be addressed by other methods. Which is where natural antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can be useful:

ANTIHISTAMINES:

These compounds bind to histamine receptors – essentially blocking histamine from binding to receptors and triggering symptoms. You’ve likely heard of the common over-the-counter antihistamine Benadryl which can be great for immediate relief but can also cause you to build tolerance and require more and more to get the same relief. Some better options to focus on are natural sources of antihistamines like:

mast cell treatment natural antihistamines

  • Vitamin C
  • Stinging nettle
  • Butterbur
  • Bromelain
  • Local raw honey
  • Probiotics
  • Astragalus

These natural antihistamines can help soothe symptoms and naturally reduce histamine levels.

MAST CELL STABILIZERS:

Mast cell stabilizers prevent degranulation and stabilize your mast cells. A few well-known, natural compounds that exhibit mast cell stabilizing activities include:

  • Quercetin
  • Resveratrol
  • Luteolin
  • Curcumin

But the truth is, having to take a conglomeration of antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers (on top of potential DAO supplements) can get expensive and overwhelming. To get relief without the expense or headache, I recommend a blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, enzymes, and botanicals that can help block histamine and stabilize your mast cells – providing you with comprehensive support for relief from MCAS symptoms.

TREATMENT 4:

Identify Sources of Toxins

mast cell identify sources of toxinsThere is no single factor that has been shown as the definitive cause of MCAS. However, various microbes can disrupt the immune system and cause mast cells to go haywire. Two major environmental triggers of MCAS include mold and an elevated overall toxic burden.

If you’re struggling with MCAS, it’s absolutely essential to reduce the body’s microbial and toxic burden. This typically requires a thorough assessment of your environment as well as making some adjustments to your lifestyle to minimize exposure to mold and other environmental toxins.  (See link for article)

A Silent Problem – Is It Yeast?

Is it Yeast in chronic Lyme treatment Image by Marty Ross MD

Problems from Intestinal Yeast Overgrowth in Lyme

Too many yeast in the intestines lead to a number of problems in Lyme disease. Here are a few.

  • Increased cytokine (Lyme) symptoms. Yeast overgrowth leads to inflammatory cytokine excess. Just like white blood cells responding to Lyme make too many cytokines, white blood cells make too many cytokines responding to yeast too. Excess cytokine symptoms give most of the Lyme disease symptoms. This means that too many yeast in a person’s intestines can make it look like Lyme is worse. But the problem could be yeast triggering more cytokines. Read more about cytokines in Control Cytokines: A Guide to Fix Lyme Symptoms & The Immune System.
  • Food allergies. Food allergies and sensitivities can be the result of yeast overgrowth too. Too many yeast is one of the major causes of leaky gut syndrome leading to food allergies. For more information see Leaky Gut Syndrome: A Video Treatment Guide.
  • Immune suppression. Excess cytokines and allergies to yeast may lead to immune suppression.

Evidence for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi in invasive breast cancer tissues

Abstract

Borrelia burgdorferi , the causative agent of Lyme disease, has recently been demonstrated to infect and enhance the invasive properties of breast cancer cells, while also influencing the expression of inflammatory chemokines (CXCL8 and CXCL10). This study investigates the presence of B. burgdorferi in invasive breast cancer tissues using commercially available, FDA-approved breast cancer tissue microarrays consisting of 350 ductal, 32 lobular, and 22 intraductal invasive breast carcinomas, alongside 29 normal breast tissues. Employing fluorescent immunohistochemical staining and high-resolution imaging, the findings revealed that
  • approximately 20% of invasive lobular and ductal carcinomas, followed by
  • 14% of intraductal carcinomas, tested positive for B. burgdorferi,
  • while all normal breast tissues tested negative.
  • PCR analysis further confirmed the presence of B. burgdorferi DNA in breast cancer tissues.
  • Moreover, 25% of B. burgdorferi – positive tissues exhibited expression of both chemokines, CXCL8 and CXCL10, which was not observed in B. burgdorferi – negative tissues.
  • Analysis of available patient data, including age, indicated a correlation between older patients and B. burgdorferi – positive tissues.

This study validates the presence of B. burgdorferi in invasive breast cancer tissues and highlights the involvement of key CXCL family members associated with inflammatory processes.

**Comment**

It all of a sudden becomes quite clear why ‘the powers that be’ simply had to bury ivermectin and HCQ.  These drugs are turning out to be highly anti-viral and anti-cancer.  More and more is coming out on these safe, cheap drugs that have been effectively repurposed for cancer.  Due to a court order, the FDA had to remove its controversial verbiage on ivermectin from its website.  Predictably, the FDA claims no wrongdoing despite an estimated 500,000 deaths due to its suppression of ivermectin, as well as the fact doctors lost their jobs for simply endorsing the drug.

The FDA has a lot to answer for.

I also highly recommend reading and listening to this:  https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/302-how-to-save-your-life-if-you

On a personal side note relating to the above link: my holistic doctor (RIP) once told me that he successfully treated female cancers with testosterone and male cancers with estrogen.  At the time there weren’t any studies on this hormone approach for cancer and all he had to support it was his 35 years of clinical experience.  Now, it finally appears there are some studies:  https://hormonebalance.org/publications/

Another doctor we used has completely restored women who have severe endometriosis by using a cocktail of synthetic testosterones (nandrolone and stanozolol) that doesn’t break down into estrogen as well as the anti-androgen spironolactone to counter any facial hair or lowering of the voice.  My daughter still uses this treatment and it has worked amazingly for over ten years.  To say it has changed her life would be an understatement.

This too is a big reason hormone therapy is nearly banned in mainstream medicine.  It just does too many things for health which interferes with Big Pharma profits.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, the FDA could care less about true health.
