A Possible Role for Ascorbic Acid in COVID-19

pdf here: A_Possible_Role_for_Ascorbic_Acid_in_COVID-19

Excerpt:

IV ascorbic acid has a long track record of safety. It has been used historically in the management of viral infections and more recently for sepsis. Ongoing clinical trials in the United States, Canada, China, Italy, and other countries will hopefully support its widespread use for patients with COVID-19 infection in the larger medical community.

In short, COVID is a virus, which means the stronger your body is the more powerfully it can fight to keep you healthy.  Lyme/MSIDS patients have to learn this simple truth in their journey.  If there’s a silver lining in the COVID debacle, it’s that the general population has an opportunity to become educated on health – IF and only IF they do not accept the COVID narrative that is being spun by ‘authorities,’  which essentially is – cower in fear, wear a mask, and wait for our lucrative vaccine.

These ‘authorities’ are the same ones behind the Lyme/MSIDS debacle, following the same narrative: malign everyone else’s tests and treatments and bully doctors into only using things ‘authorities’ approve of.  

I recently posted a paper by none other than Dr. Fauci himself who insists that “Big Science” is the only way to go – sending a clear message to doctors.

Chris Newton explains it here:  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/god-precious-randomized-control-trials-rcts-chris-newton/?

My husband and I and thousands of Lyme/MSIDS patients would be dead if it weren’t for doctors willing to treat us without those precious randomized controlled trials.  Right now there are thousands of Lyme/MSIDS patients being treated with Disulfiram/Antabuse based mainly upon 3 case studies and clinical experience.  Many of which are finally getting their health back after decades of suffering.

Researchers investigating possible link between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19

Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine lab technician Beverly McCall takes a sample of blood from a COVID-19 clinical study participant.

For months, many of us have stayed home on the advice of health experts, quarantining indoors to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. Now some researchers are investigating the possibility that spending a little more time in the sun could actually help prevent COVID-19.

That’s because sunshine is a key ingredient for our bodies to make vitamin D. 

After seeing a correlation between severe COVID-19 patients and vitamin D deficiency, the researchers hypothesized that the vitamin, absorbed through sunlight by the skin, could play a role in helping the body’s immune system fight the novel coronavirus. (See link for article)

**Comment**

I posted on this back in April and considered it common sense, but I’m discovering common sense isn’t so common.  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/09/you-are-safer-outside-than-inside-disease-expert-criticizes-restrictions/

The article discusses a study of nearly 500 patients and found those with vitamin D deficiencies were nearly twice as likely to test positive for COVID.  I’m not impressed with these findings because the tests are abysmal and not to be trusted..  Plus, testing positive means nothing as you may never even develop symptoms.

What’s important is the  correlation between COVID severity and vitamin D deficiency.

This review https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/apt.15777 found:

“When mortality per million is plotted against latitude, it can be seen that all countries that lie below 35 degrees North have relatively low mortality. Thirty‐five degrees North also happens to be the latitude above which people do not receive sufficient sunlight to retain adequate vitamin D levels during winter. This suggests a possible role for vitamin D in determining outcomes from COVID‐19 …

What is helpful in the article is that it reminds the reader that we make less vitamin D as we age and those with darker skin tones (higher melanin content) block UV rays which are required to make vitamin D.  This may explain COVID severity in the black population and why it’s imperative to know your vitamin D levels and to either get sun or supplement.  For those of us in the North, we can’t achieve the amount of sunlight necessary for most of the year and supplementation is required for us to have appropriate vitamin D levels.  Make sure you test before you supplement.

The article goes on to mention a study that showed the following percentages are at risk of low vitamin D

  • 21% of whites
  • 42% of hispanics
  • 73% of blacks

Interestingly, they state the higher rate of vitamin D deficiency in overweight people is due to the fact D is dissolved in fat and isn’t getting into the blood stream.  Another reason to keep your ideal weight.

I will add that not only is sunlight invaluable and the only way to increase vitamin D levels naturally, fresh air (oxygen) unimpeded by masks is also healthy..

Similarly to the attack on HCQ, ‘authorities’ are also coming down on vitamin D:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/07/02/experts-criticize-government-review-of-vitamin-d-for-covid-19/

Here’s another example of misinformation:  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/06/08/cnn-coronavirus-vitamin-d  Within this link Dr. Mercola highly advises you get your vitamin D levels optimal before fall and the seasonal flu.

That’s not to say there aren’t things to know.  Since Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, it’s important to check your levels at least yearly.  For a great read on D and everything you need to know:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/03/12/the-importance-of-vitamin-d-k-and-magnesium-for-lyme-msids-patients/

Dane County catches up on COVID-19 testing backlog, counts 17,000 more negative results

JT Cestkowski

MADISON (WKOW) — Public Health Madison and Dane County addressed Friday its struggle to process a backlog of negative COVID-19 test results, skewing its reported infection rates.

According to DHS secratary Andrea Palm, this was a problem plaguing many municipalities across the state.

“As they prioritized those positive cases, negative cases are dragging behind a day or two or even three as they are making sure they’re focusing on stopping the spread,”she said.

In a massive update, the online data dashboard public health maintains added around 17,000 negative test results adjusting the positive rate from the past week down to 2.1 percent. (See link for article)

Important quote:

Public health uses the percent positive rate as one of its metrics in the Forward Dane reopening plan governing how and when certain social distancing measures, including many imposed on businesses, can be relaxed or eliminated.
Our rights have been taken away due to inflated, inaccurate case numbers.
Again, testing positive for COVID means nothing.  The tests are abysmally inaccurate.  Even if you test positive and truly have COVID, you may not have any symptoms at all or very mild ones.
Time for the hype and fear-mongering to end.

Frontline Doctors on Censorship: We’re Coming After You Big Tech – We will Not be Silenced!

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Less than 24 hours after the Frontline Doctors first press conference in Washington D.C. was censored and removed from Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, and after having their own website knocked offline in an attempt to silence them, the doctors were back in front of the steps of the Supreme Court building today (Tuesday, July 28, 2020) for their second press conference, at great risk to their lives, their families, and their jobs, as they remained determined to bring the truth directly to the American people that a cure for COVID exists, and that the public does not need to cower in fear anymore.

While the corporate media continues to blacklist the group of doctors and refuses to cover their press conferences, some hecklers showed up to try and drown out the speakers.

The fact that these doctors are seeing a 100% cure rate for COVID patients is a message Big Pharma, Big Tech, and their political leaders do not want the public to hear. Because it would mean that their drugs and their coming vaccines are worthless and unnecessary.

They do not want healthy Americans. They want sick Americans cowering in fear so they can control us for their own purposes.

Dr. Simone Gold was the first doctor to speak today, and she said:

We are finally coming forward, at great personal and professional costs to ourselves.

We’re tired of seeing patients die in front of us, and we’re even more upset to see the spider web of fear that is enveloping the American public.

When there’s a treatment, there’s a cure. People have been afraid to say that.

But what else do you call it if you give somebody the medication early, and it aborts the disease process?

We’re coming after you Big Tech. We’re coming after you.

We won’t be silenced. The First Amendment is first for a reason. There’s thousands of us.

Dr. Richard Erso was another doctor who spoke today:

We cannot let our patients die without treatment. And that’s the major thing that’s happened.

We’ve been told to hide in our houses, wear a mask, and wait for a vaccine.

That’s not a strategy. We have a strategy.

Hydroxychloroquine works. Withholding it from patients is shameful.

Watch the full press conference as filmed by Breitbart News (let us know if it disappears).

http://

Dr. Stella Immanuel from Houston, Texas, has been at both press conferences, and put out a video asking all patients who have been helped by Hydroxychloroquine to come forward and share their stories.

From her Twitter account:

**Comment**
I woke up to this today:  https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/87797?xid=nl_popmed_2020-  It’s essentially a hit-piece to discredit these doctors who are speaking out against the accepted narrative.
Yet, for anyone who reads from this website knows: HCQ, especially with zinc and azithromycin have saved thousands of COVID patients’ lives.
Dr. Zelenko, a New York doctor, has successfully treated 1,450 COVID-19 patients with a 99% success rate using a cocktail of hydroxychloroquine, Zinc Sulfate and Azithromycin:  https://techstartups.com/2020/04/21/dr-vladimir-zelenko-now-treated-1450-coronavirus-patients-2-deaths-using-hydroxychloroquine-99-99-success-rate-latest-video-interview/  Video with Zelenko in link.
There are other treatments that are working just as effectively, but ‘authorities’ are censoring them just as badly as HCQ:

It certainly appears from where I sit that ‘authorities’ really don’t want people to get better (much like with Lyme/MSIDS) but to cower in fear and wait for their lucrative treatments and vaccines.  Don’t be fooled by these tyrants that follow a predictable script:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/26/cdc-playbook-learning-from-lyme/

UPDATE 7/26/20

Sinclair Broadcasting was apparently pressured to not air this. This is what they announced via their Twitter account:

After further review, we have decided to delay this episode’s airing. We will spend the coming days bringing together other viewpoints and provide additional context. All stations have been notified not to air this and will instead be re-airing last week’s episode in its place.

Corporate Media and Big Tech Trying to Stop Judy Mikovits Interview Exposing Dr. Fauci from Airing this Weekend

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

The national corporate media giants like CNN, along with Big Tech, are trying hard to censor a video produced by America this Week with Eric Bolling and distributed to local media sources via the Sinclair Broadcast Group.

The video is an interview with whistle-blower Dr. Judy Mikovits and her attorney, Larry Klaman, where Dr. Mikovits is claiming that Dr. Fauci was manufacturing coronaviruses in monkey cell lines at Ft. Detrick in the U.S., a biosafety level 4 facility, and shipping them to Wuhan, China.

CNN may have unwittingly drawn more attention to the show than it would have otherwise received by publishing an article condemning the host, Eric Bolling, who used to work for Fox News, and also slandering both Larry Klaman and Dr. Mikovits in an effort to discredit them.

The text used by CNN was picked up by almost every other national corporate media organization by Friday, July 24, 2020.

One of the sources who also condemned the interview is an organization called “Media Matters” who also embedded the video of the interview, which has now been deleted from Facebook, as well as local affiliate WJLA ABC 7, where the video was originally published.

We have embedded the video below. (If it disappears, let us know.)

As a matter of policy, Health Impact News generally does not link to and provide traffic to the websites like CNN, but here is a write-up on CNN’s hit piece from RT.com:

CNN has whipped up an army of outraged Twitter liberals after it slammed a network of local news stations for airing an interview with a disgraced scientist who blamed Dr Anthony Fauci for the coronavirus.

Dr Judy Mikovits is the star of ‘Plandemic,’ a conspiracy documentary claiming that Covid-19 is a ploy by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to poison the masses with vaccines and get rich doing so. The film has been pulled from YouTube, censored in internet searches, and denounced by almost every single mainstream media outlet.

Mikovits, however, will appear on hundreds of local news outlets owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group this weekend, during a segment of ‘America This Week’, hosted by Eric Bolling.

Her appearance alone rubbed CNN the wrong way. In an article slamming Sinclair for airing such a “baseless conspiracy theory,” CNN hammered Bolling for allowing Mikovits to “continue to make her case” without pushing back enough. CNN even texted both Bolling and Mikovits’ fellow guest Larry Klayman, a lawyer who backed up her claims, to ask them about the segment.

Taking a page from the Media Matters playbook, CNN asked Bolling if he had any “second thoughts” about airing the segment. Bolling simply replied “I don’t second guess my producers and bookers.”

Online, CNN’s liberal viewership clamored for a boycott of Sinclair. Some even demanded that anyone spreading such “dangerously false propaganda” be imprisoned.

Whatever its standing in the information war, CNN is losing the ratings war against Sinclair and its affiliates. Local broadcasters like the 294 owned or operated by Sinclair and its subsidiaries draw in five times as many primetime viewers as cable networks like CNN. Among these local broadcasters, Sinclair is king, reaching 40 percent of American households. (Source.)

As of the time of this writing (Saturday, 7/25/2020), I have not seen anything about Sinclair changing their mind, but outside of Media Matters and a couple of other sites also embedding their video of the interview, I have not been able to locate it.

Here is the interview:

Transcript via MediaMatters.org

ERIC BOLLING (HOST): Larry Klayman is the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch. He’s teamed up with Dr. Judy Mikovits, who worked with Dr. Anthony Fauci and is an expert in virology. I spoke to them both recently about the potential legal action they are seeking against Dr. Fauci. Then I brought in Dr. Nicole Saphier to weigh in on all their allegations. Take a listen.

(VIDEO BEGINS)

BOLLING: Dr. Mikovits, tell me about the — what you believe Dr. Fauci has done wrong?

JUDY MIKOVITS: I believe Dr. Fauci has manufactured the coronaviruses in monkey cell lines and shipped them from and paid for and shipped the cell lines to Wuhan, China, now for at least since 2014. He published that fact and funded the studies that were published in 2015 in Nature Medicine that stated that the original cell line the Chinese used to grow the virus was shipped from Ft. Detrick, USAMRIID, the biosafety level 4 facility there.

BOLLING: Doctor, that’s a pretty hefty claim. You’re claiming that there was a virus that Fauci discovered, the coronavirus — again, there are many coronaviruses — but he shipped this specific version to China —

MIKOVITS: No.

BOLLING: And then somehow it leaked? Tell us.

MIKOVITS: No. I’m not saying that he discovered it, I’m saying they were manufacturing these animal tissues. They were using these animal tissues at Ft. Detrick, and this has been done for decades. It was illegal in this country, so instead of continuing the work there, he funded the studies. He’s the head of NIAID. He didn’t discover this particular coronavirus, but they had been working on isolating coronaviruses from bats, both at USAMRIID since the mid to late ‘90s, and they had shipped — originally funded the studies to Wuhan, China, when it was illegal in this country to do these types of studies further.

BOLLING: All right, let’s bring you in Larry, let’s talk about the law here. What is your claim and, you know, how is it steeped in law?

LARRY KLAYMAN: Well we’re looking at a possible RICO case, Eric, and we’re analyzing that right now, but what it appears happened is the Chinese got that virus. And we know that $3.7 million was given as a grant during the Obama administration to that Wuhan laboratory, that’s not in dispute. And the Chinese then engineered it into a bioweapon. So what happened here, actually, is relevant to our lawsuit in Dallas, Texas, our class action against the communist Chinese who are releasing, either accidentally or by design, this pandemic. So, it’s a very serious matter, and it needs to be looked into. No one wants to discuss it, and I suspect the president probably knows about this right now, which is why — and I support the president personally, but I don’t think that’s why he’s — I think that’s why he’s going not real strong against China right now, because this virus actually had its origins, apparently, in a lab in Ft. Detrick, Maryland.

BOLLING: And Larry, we know about the funding the Obama administration sent to China, the Wuhan lab, but allegedly it was for discovery of a vaccine of this exact virus. Earlier, the doctor talked about something that Fauci may have been doing, experimenting here illegal. Tell us about that piece of it.

KLAYMAN: Well, let me just say this. I think one thing the left and the right have in common these days, Eric, is that we don’t believe a word the government tells us. And the fact that they claim they’re looking for a vaccine — you know, they were doing research, and Judy could talk about this more, at Ft. Detrick to combat bioweapons. OK, so, they weren’t there just for vaccines. I mean, they were there for a number of different reasons. But let me turn it over to her because she’s the expert here.

BOLLING: Go ahead, doctor.

MIKOVITS: Ah, yes, Eric, these — since the mid ‘90s, we’ve been working with Ebola and other strains of viruses from bats and animals. And we — I did that work at USAMRIID, that means U.S. Army Research Institute for Infectious Disease. So we were doing those studies, allegedly then, to provide vaccines or therapeutics, but we were working, mixing animal tissues in these human cell lines, the exact same cell lines used in China. And these viruses have escaped before, the Ebola strain in 2014 that killed 21,000 Liberians came from that same USAMRIID facility in Ft. Detrick, Frederick, Maryland.

BOLLING: All right, we’re going to leave it there. I think there’s a lot more as we go forward. Larry, you’ve been talking about suing China for quite a while now, you’ll keep us up to date on where that legal proceeding is headed and where it is. Larry Klayman everybody, Dr. Judy Mikovits. Thank you very much for your time.

(VIDEO ENDS)

Here is the trailer for the Plandemic film that has been banned and censored, but by some estimates has been viewed by over 1 BILLION people in the past couple of months.

As I’ve posted numerous times before, there’s many similarities between how COVID and Lyme have been handled:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/26/cdc-playbook-learning-from-lyme/

Many people don’t believe Lyme/MSIDS patients either and chalk them up to “conspiracy theorists,” and that they are imagining their illness, yet, people continue to become infected and it’s the #1 cause of vector-borne disease that our own government has been complicit in:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/07/22/house-passes-chris-smith-measure-to-probe-if-government-turned-ticks-into-bioweapons/

I include many important links with the chronology and facts on tick experimentation:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/07/26/schmid-shot-at-smiths-lyme-disease-amendment-doesnt-help-her-experts-say/

I’ve posted many damning facts about Dr. Fauci and the fact he broke the law by sending nearly 4 million dollars of tax payer dollars to China when the U.S. had a moratorium on coronavirus research:

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/14/wuhan-lab-got-3-7-million-from-u-s-government/

Fauci has a long and sordid history and has a seat in the Gates Foundation – a fact mainstream media is happy to hide.  Every single researcher looking for grant money has to go through Fauci, who decides who gets money and who doesn’t – so don’t expect researchers to come clean on Fauci.  It’s a cabal through and through.  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/12/shedding-light-on-the-dishonorable-record-of-dr-fauci-a-real-mengele/

This link includes Fauci’s patents:   https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/08/time-to-fire-dr-fauci-and-dr-tam/

Recently, he co-authored a paper essentially stating that only Big Science (randomized, controlled trials) are reliable and that observational trials (case studies) and clinical results are a waste of time.  Chris Newton explains it here:  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/god-precious-randomized-control-trials-rcts-chris-newton/?

My husband and I and thousands of Lyme/MSIDS patients would be dead if it weren’t for doctors willing to treat us without those precious randomized controlled trials.  Right now there are thousands of Lyme/MSIDS patients being treated with Disulfiram/Antabuse based mainly upon 3 case studies and clinical experience.  Many are finally getting their health back.

This is why doctors go to school and why ‘authorities’ like Fauci are a clear enemy to Lyme patients.  He and others in high places vilify doctors who treat outside the box of their acceptability (that they have a financial stake in) – and by vilify, I mean come after their medial licenses, fine them, and often put them out of business. http://uppitywis.org/blogarticle/wisconsin-lyme-doctor-gets-reprieve  (Doctors in every state and worldwide have been the subjects of these witch-hunts due to ‘authorities’ just like Fauci who insist everyone uses their inadequate tests and treatments – ALL of which they own patents on).

OUR ‘AUTHORITIES’ ARE PUSHING LUCRATIVE EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE ANTI-VIRAL, REMDESIVIR – BOTH OF WHICH THEY HAVE FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN.
