Abstract

An outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID‐19 or 2019‐CoV) infection has posed significant threats to international health and the economy. In the absence of treatment for this virus, there is an urgent need to find alternative methods to control the spread of disease. Here, we have conducted an online search for all treatment options related to coronavirus infections as well as some RNA‐virus in- fection and we have found that general treatments, coronavirus‐specific treatments, and antiviral treatments should be useful in fighting COVID‐19. We suggest that the nutritional status of each infected patient should be evaluated before the administration of general treatments and the current children’s RNA‐virus vaccines including influenza vaccine should be immunized for uninfected people and health care workers. In addition, convalescent plasma should be given to COVID‐19 patients if it is available. In conclusion, we suggest that all the potential interventions be implemented to control the emerging COVID‐19 if the infection is uncontrollable.

**Comment**

This abstract is brief and doesn’t do the paper justice.  Please see the full paper in the link as the authors literally go through vitamins, minerals, Chinese medicine, various inhibitors, anti-virals, chloroquine, and much more.  This is a great resource.  I also appreciate the fact they state the patient’s nutritional status should be evaluated.  Very few scientific studies mention such an important aspect of health.

It’s important to note that the flu vaccine increases coronavirus infection by 36% – nothing to sniff at:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/03/23/flu-vaccine-increases-coronavirus-infection-risk-36/

The flu vaccine has many serious side-effects and fails most of the time:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/07/10/cdc-admits-flu-vaccine-failed-91-of-the-time-against-current-flu-strain/

Oral Penicillin For Lyme Patients With EM Rash in the U.S.

Evaluation of the Role of Oral Penicillin for Treating Lyme Disease Patients With Erythema Migrans in the United States

Abstract

Clinical trials of oral penicillin preparations in the United States for treating Lyme disease patients with erythema migrans are limited to 2 studies. The results of these studies demonstrated a less than optimal outcome of this treatment. However, there were serious methodologic concerns in both studies precluding the interpretation that phenoxymethylpenicillin specifically should be regarded as ineffective. Therefore, additional clinical trials should be conducted in the United States with close attention to the dose and duration of treatment that have been used very successfully in Europe.

**Comment**

I got news for you: there are serous methodologic concerns with most studies on Lyme – particularly regarding treatment. To hear it from the very people in charge of those studies is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

The next all important question is why are they even attempting to treat the rash?  The rash is just an outward sign of a inner systemic infection and just because you eliminate the rash doesn’t mean the inner systemic infection is gone.  So, no, we don’t need more research on this.  What we need is research on how to clear the infection once and for all.  Please note Wormser and Strle are behind this continuing focus on the rash and the acute phase of Lyme.

Move on gentlemen, this is a waste of money and time, and doesn’t help patients one iota.

It’s Tick Season Again. Here’s What You Need To Know

It’s tick season again. Here’s what you need to know

An expert in ticks and tick-borne diseases provides information to help you through the season

Fall is the prime season for adult black-legged ticks, says Katie Clow, assistant professor at University of Guelph. (Bertrand Guay/AFP/Getty Images)

Many people have spent their spring largely indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But as restrictions ease and certain areas re-open for hiking and camping, people are being reminded to keep an eye out for ticks.

“The most important thing to know is where you’re going to find ticks, so you can avoid that habitat,” Katie Clow, assistant professor at University of Guelph and expert in ticks and tick-borne diseases, told CBC Kitchener-Waterloo.

Black-legged ticks tend to stay inside forested areas, especially in bushy areas.

“They’re pretty lazy, they just sit there and wait for something to come along,” she said.

Clow recommended hikers stay on marked trails away from forested areas. That’s where ticks lie in wait, she said. (See link for articles)

$100 Billion Contact Tracing Deal By Bill Gates Just Before Pandemic

$100 Billion Contact Tracing Deal By Bill Gates JUST BEFORE Pandemic

Published on

Written by Thomas Paine

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped negotiate who would score a $100 Billion government-backed contact tracing contract in August 2019 — six months before the ‘pandemic’ arrived in the United States and four months before it swept through China.

The shocking revelations were unveiled on the Thomas Paine Podcast and the Moore Paine Show on Patreon by the two investigators who blew the whistle on the massive Clinton Foundation tax fraud during a Congressional hearing in 2018. John Moynihan and Larry Doyle testified in Congress, detailing the fraud and schemes utilized by the Clinton’s to avoid paying up to $2.5 BILLION in federal taxes.

The investigative duo, in their first interview since that bombshell Congressional testimony, revealed to Paine that representatives from the Gates Foundation met with U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush at a sit down in Rwanda, East Africa in mid August 2019 to hash out who would score the windfall from a government contact tracing program. And just last month — nine months after the meetings with the Gates Foundation in Rwanda —  Rush, a Democrat from Illinois, introduced the $100 BILLION H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.

Rush’s bill would establish a program run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for national coronavirus testing and contact tracing.

Paine has since learned Congressman Rush traveled to Rwanda with his spouse from August 12th to 19th, 2019 to take part in talks and a week-long event underwritten by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

But how can you negotiate the byproducts of monitoring a pandemic six to seven months before the outbreak of the virus even happens?

UPMC Doctor Says COVID-19 Has Become ‘Less Prevalent’ And Isn’t Making People As Sick

UPMC doctor says COVID-19 has become ‘less prevalent’ and isn’t making people as sick

Fewer people are testing positive for COVID-19 and those who test positive don’t seem to be getting as sick, a UPMC doctor said Thursday.

“All signs that we have available right now show that this virus is less prevalent than it was weeks ago,” said Dr. Donald Yealy, the chair of emergency medicine at UPMC.

Yealy further said, among people who test positive, “the total amount of the virus the patient has is much less than in the earlier stages of the pandemic.”  (See link for article)

Important quote:

“Your risk of getting into a car accident if you go back and forth across the turnpike in Pennsylvania is greater than your risk of being positive for asymptomatic COVID-19 infection,” he said. “This should give you some reassurance that the risk of catching COVID-19 … from someone who doesn’t even know they have the infection, in our communities, is very small.”
