5G Technology and induction of coronavirus in skin cells

PMID: 32668870

DOI: 10.23812/20-269-E-4

Abstract

In this research, we show that 5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas, transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing Coronaviruses in biological cells. DNA is built from charged electrons and atoms and has an inductor-like structure. This structure could be divided into linear, toroid and round inductors. Inductors interact with external electromagnetic waves, move and produce some extra waves within the cells. The shapes of these waves are similar to shapes of hexagonal and pentagonal bases of their DNA source. These waves produce some holes in liquids within the nucleus. To fill these holes, some extra hexagonal and pentagonal bases are produced. These bases could join to each other and form virus-like structures such as Coronavirus. To produce these viruses within a cell, it is necessary that the wavelength of external waves be shorter than the size of the cell. Thus 5G millimeter waves could be good candidates for applying in constructing virus-like structures such as Coronaviruses (COVID-19) within cells.

Excerpt:

RF radiation and COVID-19 cause similar disease. In my last newsletter (“Is the Sky Really Falling?”), I noted some effects of COVID-19 that are similar to effects of radio waves. The list of effects in common has grown, and includes:

  • headaches
  • dizziness
  • nausea
  • digestive problems
  • muscle pain
  • tachycardia
  • hypotension
  • cardiac arrhythmias
  • strokes
  • seizures

As many as two-thirds of people who test positive for COVID-19 have lost their sense of smell, often without any other symptoms. Patients are presenting with mental confusion, without any respiratory symptoms at all. Patients are presenting with diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. When patients with any of these symptoms test positive for the coronavirus, their illnesses are being attributed to that virus. But these are all classic symptoms of radio wave sickness.

History of Lyme Disease as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation

PMID: 32279835

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2020.03.003

Abstract

In many cases, atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a history of cardiac inflammation. One of the potential pathogens responsible for atrial inflammation might be Borrelia burgdorferi – a pathogen involved in Lyme carditis. This study aimed to assess whether the serological history of Borrelia infection was associated with the risk of AF. The study included 113 AF patients and 109 patients in sinus rhythm. All patients underwent a clinical evaluation, echocardiography and had their blood taken for the assessment of anti-Borrelia IgG antibodies. Patients with AF compared with the non-AF group had more often serological signs of Borrelia infection (34.5% vs 6.4%; p <0.0001). The multivariate analysis showed that positive results for anti-Borrelia IgG antibodies were a strong independent predictor of AF (odds ratio 8.21; 95% confidence interval 3.08 to 21.88; p < 0.0001).

In conclusion, presented data show that exposure to Borrelia spp. infection is associated with an increased risk of AF. Whether the early treatment of Lyme disease lowers the risk of AF development remains to be explored.

Imagine what the real numbers look like…..

They used blood tests as the foundation of the study and we know these tests miss anywhere from 70-86% of cases.

Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and human herpesvirus-6 infections in patients with myalgic еncephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

Abstract

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling multisystem chronic disease. The etiology and pathogenesis of ME/CFS are unknown. Infections of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) are suspected as etiological agents for ME/CFS. This study aims to estimate prevalence and type (active/latent) of EBV, CMV, and HHV-6 infections in Bulgarian ME/CFS patients.

In the study were included 58 patients with ME/CFS and 50 healthy controls. Virus-specific antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and viral genomic sequences in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) and plasma samples by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We did not observe any significant differences in virus-specific immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M positivity rates between patients with ME/CFS and control group.

In ME/CFS plasma samples:

  • EBV DNA was found in 24.1%
  • CMV DNA in 3.4%
  • HHV-6 DNA in 1.7%
  • EBV DNA was detected in 4%
  • CMV and HHV-6 DNA were not found in plasma samples of controls

The frequency of viral genome detection in PBMCs of patients and controls was:

  • 74% vs 78% for CMV
  • 81% vs 84% for EBV
  • 82.8% vs 82% for HHV-6

The difference in frequency of EBV active infection in ME/CFS and control group was statistically significant (P = .0027). No ME/CFS and control individuals with active CMV and HHV-6 infection were observed.

In conclusion, this study using both serological and PCR-based techniques for distinguishing between active and latent infection showed high rate of active EBV infection among patients with ME/CFS indicating that at least in a subset of cases, EBV is important factor for the development of disease.

Babesia in Dogs – Implications for People

BABESIA IN DOGS – IMPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE

babesia in dogs

A dog can be man’s best friend, particularly when it comes to helping identify the risk of tick-borne diseases for humans. The true spread of Babesia may currently be underestimated, under-reported, and untreated, writes Mahachi and colleagues in the journal Parasites Vectors.¹ But new research indicates that hunting dogs can offer insight into the distribution of Babesia in the Southern and Western USA.

Investigators looked at several tick-transmitted diseases including Babesia, in dogs, to help determine potential risks to humans. Hunting dogs, specifically, were tracked as they are exposed to ticks more often than pet dogs. And they are more likely to be outdoors for long periods in tick habitats and less likely to be groomed for ticks by their owner.

Furthermore,

“A recent occupational study found that those who work with hunting dogs compared to those who work in high-risk tick environments, were 5.83 times more likely to report having found embedded ticks on their bodies,” writes Mahachi. 

The authors examined the incidence of Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and Babesia in hunting dogs. But they excluded dogs that were symptomatic with Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis.

Study findings

They found,

“Unlike B. burgdorferi and Anaplasma spp., the highest number of seroprevalent dogs with Babesia spp. was in the Midwest (52.5%) and South (50%) and the lowest numbers in the West (32.6%), with high levels across all regions.”

The hunting dogs also had a high rate of co-infection with Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma spp. The presence of co-infections, however, was not a surprise to investigators, given that past studies have found

“up to 40% of patients with Lyme disease experienced concurrent babesiosis infections and 13% experienced concurrent Anaplasma infections.”

The authors also examined seropositivity results over three time periods, January – February, August and November.

“Our results show that Babesia spp., Ba. gibsoni, and B. burgdorferi seropositivity remained elevated across all three time points.”

“It is important for healthcare workers to take note of current region and regions veterinary patients and their owners may have visited when considering tick-borne disease diagnoses,” writes Mahachi.

Unfortunately, the surveillance of tick-borne diseases, such as Babesia, in dogs has been limited due to a lack of centralized federal surveillance or mandate.

But, the authors write,

“given the close interaction between dogs and people, dogs can serve as an important sentinel species to help track vector-borne disease risks by monitoring trends of infection from tick-borne pathogens in dogs.”

Ticks & Lyme Disease: Information For Families

https://globallymealliance.org/videos/webinar-ticks-and-lyme-disease-information-for-families/

Global Lyme Alliance and Ranger Ready Repellents recently hosted a webinar, “Ticksand Lyme Disease: Information for the Family.” The webinar is part of GLA & Ranger Ready Repellents partnership & combined mission to stem the alarming increase of Lyme disease through education and awareness.

Mayla Hsu, Ph.D., Director of Science and Research for GLA joined Ranger Ready Founder and CEO, Chris L. Fuentes, to give helpful tips on how the whole family can safely enjoy the outdoors.

Dr. Hsu & Fuentes addressed common misconceptions regarding ticks and Lyme disease.

“Your backyard is probably the most likely place to be bitten by a tick or bring a tick into your house,” said Fuentes.

So thankful they discussed migrating birds as research has shown they are prolific carriers of ticks:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/11/07/ticks-on-the-move-due-to-migrating-birds-and-photoperiod-not-climate-change/

They recommend against having bird feeders in your yard due to this.

They also mention gardening and the need to where permethrin on your clothing and things like picaradin on your skin.

They state ticks can be located higher up on trees and bushes because squirrels and birds bring these ticks with them. This man states he got infected on a patio deck due to an overhanging tree:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/07/13/tv-anchor-speaks-out-about-lyme-disease/

They also mention pets.  They call dogs “tick taxis.”  Never allow them on your bed and furniture.  Also consider car seats:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/08/12/pet-owners-have-nearly-2-times-the-risk-of-finding-ticks/

I appreciated the video on how to apply repellent. Wearing a tucked in undershirt is smart (albeit hot!) as well as long white socks, tucking pants into the socks.  Make sure to also spray shoes. I make everyone strip clothing off in garage, and then put all clothing into dryer on high for 20 min.  Then, take a shower when coming indoors.  You will need to apply permethrin onto clothing the day before use so there is plenty of time to dry. Spray ALL clothing, hats, socks, pants, shirts, etc.  Picaradin is for your skin that you apply before you head outside.  You need both types of repellents.

When talking about ticks – she states, “you can squash it.”  Please, do not touch the tick if you squash it as you could potentially become infected this way.  Many recommend testing the tick.  Some states will do this free for residents.  Unfortunately, Wisconsin does NOT do this.
