American College of Physicians Extends Therapeutic Nihilism into Fourth Year of Pandemic

Biased Review Ignores Protocols, Thousands of Studies, Claims Only Two Government Authorized Drugs Can be Used for Ambulatory COVID-19

SEP 20, 2023

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

Practicing physicians have lost trust in the associations and public health agencies that comprise the orthodoxy. The American College of Physicians represents internists and medical specialists. Their journal, Annals of Internal Medicine was trusted for years. The pandemic changed all of that forever.

The ACP and The Annals have not published or reprinted a single community of care COVID-19 protocol or paper on how to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection or manage mRNA vaccine injury syndromes. Their most recent contribution to the literature was a travesty.

Sommer et al published an a review that omitted thousands of studies and randomized trials of nasal sprays, gargles, oral generic medications, and multi-drug protocols. Incredulously, out of the mass of literature on early treatment for COVID-19, they selected 8 papers and quickly settled only two oral therapies that could be used—both products of government investment through Operation Warp Speed with Pfizer and Merck and with that bias arrived at this tepid conclusion: “Nirmatrelvir–ritonavir and molnupiravir probably improve outcomes for outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19.”

Sommer et al, Qaseem et al, https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/abs/10.7326/M23-1636

The Annals piled on more therapeutic nihilism with “Rapid Practice Points” from Qaseem et al which encourage use of nirmatrelvir–ritonavir and molnupiravir and discourage use of ivermectin and sotrovimab (no off the market). What about the dozens of other drugs used today in standard-of-care? How about the McCullough Protocol as the most widely used approach in the world? Not a word or mention in The Annals. None of these authors claimed to have treated patients nor have they published protocols or clinical outcomes from own original research.

I have concluded the American College of Physicians among many medical organizations is captured by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex who is hell-bent on a vaccine-only strategy for this and future pandemics. They have no care or concern for sick patients or early therapeutics.

**Comment**

Information about cheap, effective, safe COVID treatments has been out there from the beginning but has been highly censored, ignored, and even maligned by ‘the powers that be.”  This same corruption has been seen in Lymeland for over 40 years, so I don’t hold out much hope of this changing. The best we can do is find independent doctors (while we are able!) who are willing to listen, use their own God-given brains, and treat us appropriately.  Mainstream medicine including hospitals, “evidence-based” medicine, the monopolization of public health, professional medical groups, and research institutions are completely bought-out and not to be trusted. They are all guilty of disinformation which has killed thousands upon thousands of people.

Is SOT For Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

Is SOT for Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

SOT for Lyme Image from Marty Ross MD
By Dr. Marty Ross

Updated: 9/19/23

This update includes a review of research published by the manufacturer of Lyme SOT in late 2022. Based on my review of this new science, I have retitled this article: Is SOT for Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

Probability of Health Improvement

  • My clinical experience: not enough experience to say
  • MyLymeData: no research conducted
  • RGCC Funded Research: biased study with inadequate data
  • Placebo effect benefit of any prescription medicine: 30-40 percent

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy Background

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT) is a new treatment for Lyme disease. SOT is also called Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy (ASOT), which is the term used in medical research papers. SOT uses laboratory-derived nucleic acids (genetic code) that blocks production of disease-causing proteins or even gene expression. These pieces of genetic code are called oligonucleotides. You can think of oligonucleotides as a genetic message.

For example, in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), SOT provides oligonucleotides to direct the correct production of a protein called dystrophin. People with muscular dystrophy are born with DNA that provides the wrong genetic message for dystrophin. SOT correction to the DNA message leads to production of dystrophin. This prevents the muscle damage seen in DMD.

In Lyme disease, a currently available type of SOT produced by RGCC in Greece uses oligonucleotides to stop germ growth and replication. Unlike the SOT therapy for DMD, the Lyme SOT is not an FDA-approved drug. To be approved by the FDA, a therapy must have scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness.

As I explain below, SOT does not alter DNA. Instead, it provides a short-term change to how the DNA blueprint is expressed.  (See link for article)

A Personal Journey of Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit

A personal journey of healing body, mind, and spirit

By Erin Leopold

Aug. 23, 2023

I am listening, but it’s as if I am under water and everything they are saying is garbled and unclear. All I can think is, how do I have Lyme disease when I am sure I was tested several different times? Is this what I suffered with since I first got sick at age 17?

Despair and hopelessness flood my veins. Anger at how this wasn’t caught storms my mind. I am furious at all these doctors over the years who made me feel like I was crazy and that it’s all in my head! All the looks and comments from them implying I needed to see a shrink. NO! I trusted doctors to know what they were doing and help me but instead I faced continual dismissal like I was some hypochondriac. I am mad, and I’m not alone.

My name is Erin Leopold, and the above is an excerpt from my recently released memoir entitled Finding My Second Wind. My story begins as a 17-year-old high school junior making good grades, enjoying life with family and friends, and playing high-level soccer. I was the picture of health and resembled the All-American girl.

Suddenly, my life changed for the worse when I became extremely ill from an otherwise common childhood virus. It wasn’t long before life as I knew it came to a screeching halt as physical debilitation set in. I was also overcome with fear and anxiety.

Finding the root cause

Lyme disease and co-infections played a significant role in my life for 32 years, proving to be at the root of my 20+ medical diagnoses. I had SO many symptoms throughout these exhausting years: GI issues including numerous food allergies/intolerances; musculoskeletal pain including degenerative discs/stenosis/sciatica (led to two surgeries); severe outdoor allergies leading to chronic sinus infections; dizziness; brain fog; profuse sweating; weakness/neuropathy; anxiety; depression; confusion; burning and numbness in my extremities; migraines; insomnia; adrenal fatigue; and hormonal imbalances.

I used a balanced approach to treatment, leaning more towards functional/integrative medicine because allopathic medicine sought to treat symptoms only, and I desired a more holistic approach addressing root causes. I became my greatest advocate by voraciously studying all things nutrition and lifestyle changes. I did everything from taking an abundance of supplements and herbs to massage therapy, chiropractic care, infrared saunas, acupuncture, dry needling, active release/myofascial release, reiki, electromagnet shields/mattresses/shoe inserts, and detox baths. You name it and I probably did it.

Now, I am 54 and have been married for 30 years. I am a mom to three adult children and two fur babies. I love nature and the outdoors and have spent most of my life leading and teaching people through fitness and health.

Healing, finally

Like many of you reading this, I’ve gone through many ups and downs, victories and defeats. Yet things finally came together for me.

After years of treatments,  I began working to heal my soul and learned a lot about neuroplasticity and how the mind works. Dots started connecting. My faith is the cornerstone to that success as I began studying and meditating on the Word of God along with doing other reading/learning/therapies including transformational prayer, EMDR, DNRS, and works by top doctors in the neuroscience/brain field. It’s like one day I woke up and breakthroughs came!

Finding My Second Wind chronicles my personal journey of healing the spirit, soul, and body. If you find yourself running on a similar, unplanned road, I hope my story will equip you with useful tools and motivate you to never give up.

I could literally go onto infinity with these stories.  Unfortunately, while they help the public understand things better, they don’t appear to make one iota of difference in the medical field or in research.  Forty years have passed with little to no progress.  Patients are still mis or undiagnosed, untreated, suffer horrifically, and get ZERO help in mainstream medicine or most research.  Again, your best help will come from the maligned Lyme literate doctors who are continually persecuted by state medical boards.

Study: Oral NAD+ & NMN Increases Intracellular NAD+ & Lowers Triglycerides

Case Study: Oral Supplementation with the NAD+ Precursor Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)—Effects on Intracellular NAD+ and Triglycerides.

Alan Miller, ND

Abstract

NAD+ is a coenzyme that is essential in numerous metabolic reactions, the most important involving energy production. In the cellular respiration process, NAD+ is required for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of cells. NAD+ transfers electrons from molecules including glucose during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. These electrons are then transferred to the electron transfer chain, where NAD+ acts as an essential mediator in energy production, ensuring the efficient functioning of cells. NAD+ is also critically involved in DNA repair and healthy aging sirtuin enzymes.

Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is the most direct biochemical precursor to NAD+ and thus supplementation of this molecule is an efficient method of increasing intracellular NAD+, which can improve cellular energetics and markers of aging. NMN may also lower triglycerides. In a study of intravenous dosing of 300 mg NMN in 10 healthy individuals, researchers discovered a significant reduction in serum triglycerides.

One concern with NMN is that when taken in an oral dose this molecule might be damaged or otherwise metabolized by stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, or first pass hepatic enzymes. In other studies, we have shown that a liposomal powder preparation can protect other molecules, such as glutathione, from this type of degradation and significantly increase blood levels of the whole molecule.

We performed a small case study in which individuals were given 1000 mg of an oral liposomal NMN preparation (powder in a capsule) once after a baseline blood test. Serial triglyceride tests were performed hourly for five hours. Participants had an average of 15% decrease in triglycerides at hour five, compared to baseline. Another group was tested at baseline for intracellular NAD+ (Jinfinity Labs), then was given 1000 mg of a liposomal powder NMN daily for 15 days. An intracellular NAD+ test was then performed after 15 days. NAD+ levels increased 100 percent over this period.

This is the first case series that has demonstrated a rapid triglyceride-lowering effect of oral liposomal NMN (over 5 hours), along with a 100-percent increase in intracellular NAD+ over a 15-day period.

The COVID Clots: A Full Measure Town Hall

http://  Approx. 52 Min

The COVID Clots

Sept. 12, 2023

**If Youtube censors this video, go here to learn where to watch Full Measure**

Full Measure host Sharyl Attkisson is joined by a panel of experts to discuss emerging research and treatments related to COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.

Hear directly from patients and doctors.  Highly worth your time.

Similarly to Lymeland, COVID “vaccine” injured are having to find, seek out, and travel to doctors willing to admit they are injured, and treat them.

The internal medicine doctor (Dr. Jordan Vaughn, Alabama, CEO & owner of MedHelp Clinics and The Microvascular Research Foundation for Spike Protein & Long COVID) who spoke stated that they were told COVID was an upper respiratory tract infection, but it causes a lot of other dysfunction, including vascular issues.

In short, both the infection AND the shots are giving people issues with fibrin – the substance responsible for the clotting mechanism in the body.  Instead of creating soft, spaghetti-like structures that are drained through a colander with holes and space, the infected and the injected are creating burnt-spaghetti-like structures with melted cheese stuck together that lacks space and holes and is resistant to being broken down.

Go here for resources from the program.  Within this link is the following info which was interesting to me due to my own experience:

Iliac Vein Compression

Iliac vein compression isn’t new or uncommon. But when you introduce microclots [related to Covid or Covid vaccine spike protein], this compressed vein becomes compromised. The result? Decreased blood flow that leads to inflammation, additional clots, urinary urgency, chronic pain, POTS, and difficulty walking. Current treatments are effective, but invasive and costly. We’re hoping to find a better way.

The left iliac vein, which sits underneath the right iliac artery in the pelvis, can become compressed independent of a COVID-19 infection. However, the introduction of the spike protein can lead to damage of the vessel walls that inhibits blood flow to the extremities.

And my experience was developing pain, exactly in this area, after being seated on a bike for a long time.  Although unvaxxed, I’ve had COVID multiple times.

Also similarly to Lymeland, symptoms will manifest on people differently due to where these clots are forming.  So for one patient, it could be in their eyes affecting their vision. For another, it could be in their brain where it will cause completely different symptoms, or in an extremity where they might have difficulty walking, or the lungs making it difficult to breathe.  So of course, few doctors are putting it all together.

Attkisson has a new book coming out April, 2024 called “Follow the $cience: How Big Pharma Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails.”

Follow the Science will challenge your assumptions, open your eyes, and inspire you to take action. With its powerful message of truth and justice, this book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our healthcare system.
