Skin Deep: The Battle of Morgellons Q & A

March 31, 2020

In this video Pi Ware, the Director/Editor of Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons, hosts a Question & Answer session with Dr. Ginger Savely (author of Morgellons: The Legitimization of a Disease) and Edward Hu (a former federal prosecutor who contracted Morgellons disease and whose brother–a doctor–initially recommended psychiatric treatment for Edward). Both guests appear in the documentary film Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons which is now available at MorgellonsMovie.org

This Q&A originated on Crowdcast.io/piware on March 31, 2020. Questions were asked on that platform and a text chat ran alongside the Q&A.

COVID-19 Integrative Support in Prevention & Early Interventions

By Karen Vrchota, MD

The following is for educational purposes only, and not meant to replace usual medical care. Consult your own practitioner for specific, personal advice.

Looking for a ray of sunshine in this time of COVID-19 fear? While we don’t know everything we need to know, quite a bit of research is emerging with strategies that can support the body’s own immune system in self defense.

When considering possible interventions, I am reminded of a treatment found effective in reducing severity and death rate from the 1918 influenza pandemic. Fresh air, sunshine, good hygiene, and homemade masks were the mainstay in Camp Brooks emergency open-air hospital in Boston, for the treatment of influenza, which significantly reduced serious complications among patients, and decreased infection in medical staff.

Also recall how tuberculosis, one of the most difficult infections to treat, responded well in Sanatoriums to fresh air, sunshine, fun activities, stress reduction, and good nutrition.

Dr. Dean Ornish found that “lifestyle medicine” changed over 500 genes in three months, turning on health giving genes, and turning off disease causing genes. This was accomplished with:

  1. Plant based nutrition, eating 6-8 colorful servings of vegetables and fruit daily.

  2. Meditation 20 minutes twice daily. (I really like Headspace APP.

  3. Exercise 1 hour daily, stretching, strengthening, and aerobics.

  4. Connection with others, sharing about an issue important to you, and listening with empathy when another speaks.

And Pasteur, after arguing all of his life that microbes caused disease, abated, saying “The microbe is nothing, the milieu is everything”. So, be sure to do everything you can to increase general wellness.

In addition to following good hygiene, and social distancing, and bandana over face (maybe sprayed with Argentyn 23) when going out, what can be done to support the body in prevention of viral infection? There are so many resources popping up, including this masterlist of antivirals.

It can be overwhelming to comb through all the information, so here’s my short list of COVID-19 prevention strategies:

  • Vitamin C 1000-3000 mg every 4-6 hours, 3-5x day. Reduce dose for diarrhea. Ascorbic acid crystals or powder 4000mg/tsp 3-5gm dissolved in 12 ounces of water. Drink over 30-60 minutes 4-5 times daily. Use buffered Ascorbate if GI upset occurs.Capsules and tablets work great too, just a little harder to get serum levels high.

  • Zinc 15 mg 3x day-50 mg once daily. Zinc is a known inhibitor of other coronaviruses and may impair the replication of COVID-19. However, zinc is difficult to get into your cells. Supplemental ionospheres could escort zinc into cells, some options being Quercitin 600-1200mg 2x day, or EGCG from green tea or Luteolin or Quinine from tonic water cinchona powder (1 tsp in cup cold water, simmer for 10 minutes, cool, sweeten with stevia and lemon or lime.)

  • Elderberry 1 tsp tincture 3x daily. Studies have found that Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extracts inhibits infectious bronchitis virus replication. Use early, but discontinue if inflammation is present as it may cause lung problems.

  • Vitamin A with beta carotene 5000-7500IU/day

  • Vitamin E with mixed tocopherol 400IU in morning, and Vitamin E tocotrienols 125 mg in evening to reduce inflammation and support healthy cell membranes. Do not take together, as tocopherols block tocotrienol action.

  • Respirin, a combination of 23 Chinese herbs I have found helpful in every respiratory condition that I have seen in the past 5 years. 3-6 every 8 hours, 15 min before or one hour after food. No experience yet with this virus.

  • ProBoost, Thymic Protein A, has been helpful in immune support for those with viral or bacterial infections. I am taking one 3x/day sublingual, let it dissolve.

  • ViraClear is a homeopathic remedy that may support immune response to respiratory viruses.

If you have an active infection, modify the strategy:

  • Increase Vitamin C to 3-5000mg every 2-4 hours to bowel tolerance. Use Ascorbic Acid if tolerated, used buffered ascobate or EsterC if stomach gets irritated with straight Ascorbic Acid.When the body is sick, it needs more Vitamin C.

In China they found early “high dose” intravenous Rx Vitamin C (12-24 gms infused over 24 hours) given as soon as pneumonia was diagnosed helped shorten the illness and left lungs in a healthier state than those not given IVC.  But other Orthomolecular experts have been using Vitamin C 25-50 gms in sterile water, buffered with calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium chloride, infused over 2-3 hours against many severe viruses similar to Covid-19. Dr. Cheng in Wuhan uses these doses when conditions are desperate, with good success in many cases. Interested physicians and pharmacists could gather more information from this study by Dr. Paul S. Anderson or this protocol established by the Riordan Clinic.

  • Continue zinc,  Quercitin, vitamins A, C, and E tocotrienols. 

  • Stop Elderberry, as it stimulates the production of cytokines and there may be a risk of creating a “cytokine storm” of over activated immune cells that can cause additional tissue damage.

There are studies underway examining a few different prescription treatments:

We are on the cusp of spring, and recent research has shown for every degree of increase in temperature and humidity, there is a corresponding decline in COVID-19 cases. Warm air and sunshine may naturally reduce the spreading of COVID-19. One strategy is to institute social distancing until warm weather is well established, then relax restrictions, and monitor the spread. We won’t really know how much the virus is spreading until there is a cheap, easy test available for everyone.

The best we can do right now is eat whole unprocessed foods, get 8 hours of sleep daily, meditate, exercise, and connect with family and friends outdoors, while following some basic nutritional support. And, as always, consult your integrative practitioner on what course of action may be best for you.

BREAST CANCER AND LYME DISEASE: ONE WOMAN’S MESSAGE

cancer in lyme disease patient

Rarely, do we read about patients with cancer also suffering from Lyme disease. But many do. A courageous 46-year-old woman shares her heartbreaking story of battling terminal breast cancer. In the article, published by Glamour magazine, she describes her frustration with medicine and how her experiences as a Lyme disease patient affected her decisions in seeking medical help.

The woman, a mother to three boys, initially assumed a lump in her breast was due to Lyme disease. “Before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I thought a lump I had found was part of my Lyme disease. I thought, ‘Okay, let me just watch this and see if it goes away over the next month’,” she tells Glamour reporter Jillian Kramer.

She explains that having cancer had never occurred to her and as a Lyme disease patient she had become accustomed to being judged and was worried about how medical professionals would view her complaints.

“I’d gone through a long bout with Lyme disease and had a lot of experience being blown off by doctors,” she says. “I had even gotten into the habit of blowing things off. I’d say, It’s probably nothing.

“I’d put it [breast lump] off for such a long time, thinking that people would think I was being silly.”

After her diagnosis of Stage IIIC breast cancer, the woman underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and a double mastectomy. Unfortunately, she relapsed a month after completing treatment and was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer.

She cautions others. “Even if you’re worried about being wrong, see a doctor.”

Editor’s Note: This courageous woman passed away in December of 2019 but her story is an important reminder to readers, particularly Lyme disease patients, to always follow-up with your doctor when a new symptom emerges. Do not assume a new symptom is Lyme-related, even when you’ve had a history of Lyme disease.

Such a disheartening story, although not surprising.  I know many Lyme/MSIDS patients who have actually developed a fear of white lab coats due to being abused by medical professionals who say the most damaging things to them.  Patients are still being told they are “making up” their illness or just wanting attention:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/05/27/have-you-been-told-its-all-in-your-head-the-new-biology-of-mental-illness/

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: ‘Bill Gates Couldn’t Even Save Windows From Viruses’- He Needs To ‘Sit Down’

(See link for article)
Telling quote:
Should we trust the man who has openly stated the world population should be reduced by 10 to 15 percent, or should we remain skeptical like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and tell Gates to “sit down”?

Another great read exposing how Gates uses –
his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI and PATH. Gates funds private pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines, and a massive network of pharmaceutical industry front groups that broadcast deceptive propaganda, develop fraudulent studies, conduct surveillance and psychological operations against vaccine hesitancy and use Gates’ power and money to silence dissent and coerce compliance.  https://www.fort-russ.com/amp/2020/04/robert-f-kennedy-jr-exposes-bill-gates-vaccine-dictatorship-plan-cites-gates-twisted-messiah-complex/
Excerpt:

Idemia is a central company involved in supplying the infrastructure needs of most digital and biometric ID systems around the world. Idemia also makes drivers licenses in the United States.

In 2019, Old-Thinker News reported that Bill Gates was pushing for India’s Aadhaar digital ID system, supported by Idemia, (now promoted to fight COVID-19) to expand around the world.

It’s not just a social credit score system spreading around the world from China that threatens the free people of the world; India’s Aadhaar National ID program has the full support of Bill Gates and the World Bank as a model for other countries to follow.
