Abstract

Background:

Addressing the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally. Despite the absence of a proven cure, ivermectin has been proposed as a potentially effective agent against it.

Objectives:

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of ivermectin compared to a placebo group in non-critically ill confirmed COVID-19 patients.

Methods:

A double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 110 patients with moderate-to-severe (non-critical) confirmed COVID-19 infection. The patients were equally divided into two groups, with one group receiving ivermectin tablets (14 mg every 12 hours for three days) and the other group receiving a placebo. The efficacy and safety of ivermectin were assessed in both groups.

Results:

A total of 110 patients, including 62 (56.4%) men and 48 (43.6%) women, with an average age of 53.36 ± 15.10 years, were enrolled in our double-blind, randomized clinical trial. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar. The findings demonstrated that ivermectin significantly reduced the need for Intensive Care Unit admission (32.7% vs. 5.5%; P < 0.001), hospitalization duration (six vs. four days; P < 0.001), and median time to symptom resolution period (P < 0.05) in COVID-19 patients compared to the placebo group, without any serious side effects (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:

Ivermectin appears to be a potentially effective and safe medication for COVID-19 patients with moderate disease.

Case Report: Lyme Neuroborreliosis With Encephalitis

CASE REPORT: LYME NEUROBORRELIOSIS WITH ENCEPHALITIS

lyme-encephalitis

Investigators describe what they believe is the first case of confirmed Lyme neuroborreliosis encephalitis with significant parenchymal MRI changes in a broadly immunosuppressed patient.

By 

A 74-year-old woman had been hospitalized four times over a period of three months. During these admissions, she was treated with antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, states Rosendahl and colleagues in their article “Lyme neuroborreliosis with encephalitis: A rare case.”¹

On her last admission, the woman exhibited confusion, paranoid delusions, a weight loss of 33 lbs., back pains, history of fever and vomiting suspect of cancer and infection of unknown origin, leading doctors to suspect she suffered from a central nervous system (CNS) infection.

“We present a case of Lyme neuroborreliosis with encephalitis with significant parenchymal inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in an immunosuppressed patient.”

A lumbar puncture was performed and she began empirical treatment for bacterial meningitis and viral encephalitis, which included benzylpenicilline, ceftriaxone, aciclovir and dexamethasone.

The woman reportedly had no history of a tick bite or an erythema migrans (EM) rash or painful meningoradiculitis. However, approximately 3 months earlier she was treated for a universal skin rash.

“An MRI showed hyperintensities in basal ganglia, thalami, medial temporal lobes and mesencephalon and hereby confirmed the diagnosis of [Lyme neuroborreliosis] encephalitis,” according to the authors.

The woman was treated successfully with intravenous ceftriaxone and oral doxycycline for Lyme neuroborreliosis.

“Follow-up brain MRI showed complete remission of previous hyperintensities in basal ganglia and thalamus,” the authors state. “At 6 months follow-up, the patient had improved but still reported some memory problems.”

**Comment**

Per usual, this patient should be followed for years, but won’t be because of the mythology that Lyme is a easy to treat pathogen.

Although this is the first reported case with such findings, I assure you – there are many others that fall through the cracks.

‘The Power of Natural Immunity’: COVID Challenge Trials Struggle to Infect Participants, Even at High Doses

‘The Power of Natural Immunity’: COVID Challenge Trials Struggle to Infect Participants, Even at High Doses

U.K. scientists attempting to deliberately reinfect healthy people with COVID-19 for vaccine and treatment testing found that even doses 10,000 times higher than the original could not induce sustained infection in participants with natural immunity from prior infection, as reported in The Lancet Microbe.

covid vaccine and hand holding key that reads "immunity"

Scientists trying to reinfect people with the COVID-19 virus so they could test vaccines and treatments found high levels of immunity made it nearly impossible, according to results from the COVID-19 “Human Challenge” trials in the U.K

The results, published May 1 in The Lancet Microbe, “raise questions about the usefulness of COVID-19 challenge trials for testing vaccines, drugs and other therapeutics,” Nature reported.

“If you can’t get people infected, then you can’t test those things,” Tom Peacock, Ph.D., a virologist at Imperial College London, told Nature.

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense told The Defender, “The results show the power of natural immunity as compared to the many breakthrough infections in ‘naive’ vaccinated individuals.”

“Any assertion that vaccination-based immunity is more powerful than natural immunity is complete lunacy — the acquired immune system is a beautiful thing and vaccination is a cheaper and much less effective substitute,” he said. (See link for article)

And that is just what the past four years have brought us: LUNACY.

SUMMARY:

  • The 1st study in 2021 exposed 36 adults to the original strain of COVID via nasal droplets. Of those, only 53% eventually tested PCR-positive but had very mild or no symptoms. There was no correlation between severity and viral load.
  • The 2nd study funded by the Wellcome Trust and the U.K.’s Department of Health and Social Care infected people with COVID who already had natural immunity – some of which were ‘vaccinated’.  Between 2021 and 2022 scientists inoculated 36 adults with different COVID doses and then quarantined them for 14 days and tested them during that time and throughout 12 months. When the 1st subjects did not get infected, they increased the dose until it reached 10,000 times the original dose. They were unable to induce sustained infection in any subjects.  Five later got mild infections during the Omicron period.
  • Another challenge trial is ongoing at Imperial College London but is also having trouble infecting participants, even though it’s with the Delta strain. The lead researcher received a $57 million grant from the European Union and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-backed CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, to use challenge trials to develop  inhaled and intranasal COVID-19 vaccines.

Saddest excerpt of all:

They are continuing to try to develop ways to actually infect trial subjects so they can develop vaccines. Those methods include giving people multiple doses of the vaccine or finding people who have low levels of immune protection.

So there you have it.

This reminds me of the failed experiment to infect volunteer inmates with the Spanish flu, also known as the Great Swine Flu – to develop a ‘magic bullet’ vaccine which also caused severe adverse reactions.  ZERO people got infected despite being injected with infected lung tissue from sick or deceased patients, having infected tissue dropped in their eyes, and sprayed in the nose and mouth with infectious aerosols. Others would see mucus taken from critically ill patients and put it into the noses and throats of prisoners. In other parts of the trials, experimenters would take the blood of the sick and inject it into the healthy, to see if it was spread through infectious microorganisms in the blood.  Nobody got sick and nobody died.

This should raise some questions.  What exactly were people dying from?

And this is the question that needs to be asked of COVID and every other ‘infectious’ disease that can’t be purposely used to infect others, and I’m not simply talking about a fraudulent positive PCR test that changes like the wind.  I’m talking about symptoms that make you sick.

People have certainly gotten severely ill, but with what, and why do anti-parasitic medications work on a supposed virus, which BTW, also work on cancer?  Hmmm…

Go here for more fundamental truths and busted persistent myths about cancer treatments.

    • Firstly, it was wrong to claim that this virus was novel.
    • Secondly, It was even more wrong to claim that the population would not already have some immunity against this virus.
    • Thirdly, it was the crowning of stupidity to claim that someone could have Covid-19 without any symptoms at all or even to pass the disease along without showing any symptoms whatsoever.  – Beda M Stadler

Woman Develops Lyme Disease Symptoms After Giving Birth, But Baby Doesn’t – Yet

https://danielcameronmd.com/woman-develops-lyme-disease-symptoms-after-giving-birth/

WOMAN DEVELOPS LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS AFTER GIVING BIRTH

In their article, “An Unusual Case of Serologically Confirmed Post-Partum Lyme Disease Following an Asymptomatic Borrelia burgdorferi Infection Acquired during Pregnancy and Lacking Vertical Transmission in Utero,” Pavia et al. describe the case of a young woman who developed symptoms of Lyme disease immediately following the birth of her child. [1]

By 

A 23-year-old woman, who lived in Brooklyn, NY, had visited her primary care doctor complaining of bilateral knee swelling and pain. Three days prior, she had delivered a healthy baby girl.

The pain was reported as 8/10 in severity and was exacerbated by walking, according to the authors.

When the woman was 6 months pregnant, she experienced similar knee pain briefly but never sought treatment.

“Interestingly, except for a brief 2-day period where she experienced knee pain, she remained symptom-free for Lyme disease for the remainder of the pregnancy.”

During her pregnancy the woman had taken several trips to wooded areas in upstate New York.

She denied any known exposure to ticks or the development of any rash.

Testing for Lyme disease was positive by Western blot with several reactive bands including: 18, 23, 28, 33, 41,43, 58, 66, and 93 kDa.

The woman was treated successfully with a 3-week course of doxycycline.

Her newborn was symptom-free at birth and has never shown any of the usual signs or symptoms of active disease well into early childhood and beyond, the authors state.

According to the authors, “There was no evidence for congenital or perinatal transmission of this pathogen at any point pre-term or postnatally.”

**Comment**

This, of course, will be used ad nauseam to push the myth that congenital transmission is rare or doesn’t occur.  FALSE!  Further, it is widely known that the immune system often keeps the infection in check until a trigger sets it off.

The Importance of Full-Spectrum Light & Healthy Lightbulbs Banned in the U.S.

Once in a while you are forever changed by a book.

One such book for me is called Health and Light: The Extraordinary Study that Shows How Light Affects Your Health and Emotional Well Being, by photobiologist Dr. John Nash Ott, known as the father of full-spectrum lighting and time lapse photography.

Ott’s experiments led him to believe that only a full spectrum of natural light (including natural amounts of infrared and ultraviolet) can promote full health in plants, animals, and humans.

http://  Scroll to about 4:30 to begin

Exploring the Spectrum

Dr. John Ott documentary

Ott’s ingenious experiments on plants and laboratory animals reveal the importance of full-spectrum light for health and life.  At about 44:00 Ott mentions a 1964 paper presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting in NYC on “tired child syndrome.” The severity of the symptoms was directly related to the amount of time they spent watching TV. Wanting to rule out overstimulation as a cause, Ott put bean plants in front of the TV for 6 hours each weekday and 10 hours on Saturdays and Sunday – the same amount of time the children were watching TV.  Then he did the same with white rats followed by autopsies.  The negative results were obvious.

At 48:00 a real life experiment was done in a classroom where some children struggled with hyperactivity.  After ninety days, they replaced the cool white fluorescent tubes with full-spectrum fluorescent tubes with radiation shields.  The results were astonishing for the hyperactive children labeled with learning disorders, but beyond that every student improved.

Imagine what would be found today with all the cell phone, TV, and computer/tablet use.

Understanding the importance of natural sunlight on human and biological health makes the government’s goal of dimming the sun yet more ominous.

Adding insult to injury, at 1:18:38, he shows the negative effects of radar used at the airport 14 miles away on aphids on the leaves of an orange tree.  Every few seconds the aphids would tense up in unison at the same interval of time which coincided exactly with the rotation of the radar rotor device.

Ott also wrote “My Ivory Cellar” on time-lapse photography, “Exploring the Spectrum,” and “Light, Radiation, and You: How to Stay Healthy.”  I recommend them all.  You will never look at lighting the same again.

The Government’s Stupid Ban of Incandescent Lightbulbs

As always, the government is interfering in the marketplace to dictate our behavior without regard for the harms caused by its myopic meddling.

Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a leading world expert on circadian clocks and light, has an article in Psychology Today titled “Banned in the US: Healthy Light Bulbs“, which explains how government regulations aim to effectively ban incandescent lightbulbs in favor of LED bulbs.

This is being done under the guise of climate activism on the grounds that LED bulbs are more energy efficient, but the problem is that most LEDs emit a narrow spectrum with lots of blue light, which has harmful health effects.

The government as usual is interfering in the marketplace, trying to dictate our behavior in every aspect of our lives, with total disregard for the extraordinary harms caused by its myopic meddling.

Incandescent bulbs emit a broader spectrum including infrared light and so more closely mimic the health-supportive light we would get from the sun if we didn’t spend so much of our day indoors with our “modern” lifestyles. (I’m putting the word in quotation marks since I’m firmly convinced that someday when humankind becomes civilized, people will look back at our present era and view us as a bunch of barbarians.)

As Moore-Ede explains, sunlight exposure regulates our circadian rhythm, whereas evidence indicates that excessive blue light after sunset suppresses melatonin production and disrupts the regenerative powers of sleep in ways that increase the risk of cancer.  (See link for article)

The Neuroscience Behind Sunlight’s Benefits: A Ray of Hope for Mental Health 🧠

How Sunlight Enhances Mood, Sleep, & Cognitive Performance

CODY ISABEL | NEUROSCIENCE
MAR 30, 2023

Dr. Huberman’s Sunlight Morning Routine

Summary:

  • Sunlight positively affects key brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, suprachiasmatic nucleus, and striatum.
  • Sunlight’s evolutionary benefits include regulating the circadian rhythm and providing essential Vitamin D for calcium absorption.
  • Sunlight can improve mood regulation, sleep, cognitive function, and attention, and memory while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain.
  • Low Vitamin D levels are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and various mental health disorders.
  • Prioritizing sunlight exposure is important for overall mental and physical health, but caution is necessary to prevent skin damage.
