Tollovid Q&A with Todos Medical

Tollovid Q&A with Todos Medical

1. Does Tollovid prevent viral replication systemically? Does it cross Blood Brain Barrier?

Our belief and observations are that it inhibits the 3CL protease systemically. We do not have BBB studies, however in instances with high 3CL content it is expected the BBB is “leaky” any many things get through. We have seen symptomatic benefits associated with reduction in 3CLpro in the brain, but cannot confirm this without radioactive co-location studies which are not really the best ways to go in this patient population, so we are relying on symptomatic benefit.

2. Has Tollovid been tested with Covid Long Haulers or acute patients? 

Tollovid has primarily been used to date in an acute setting of high 3CLpro content, however we are now seeing it used in cases of persistent 3CLpro content. We expect it to eliminate 3CLpro in either circumstance.

3. Is Tollovid considered similar to Paxlovid and thus a good option if you can’t get that when you have acute Covid?

The mechanism of action of Tollovid is the same as Paxlovid (although we target the receptor binding domain of the 3CLpro – the active site, whereas Pfizer does not).

4. Can Tollovid be taken long term? If it can be, how long and at what dose? Any toxicity or side effects with it? 

We have not observed any side effects with long term use of Tollovid, however we do not have formal studies so cannot confirm this. We have not found side effects other than soy allergy to the soy lecithin in the product.

5. What’s the difference in the Tollovid Daily and Max?

Max has much greater 3CLpro inhibition capabilities than Daily … approximately 5-10x stronger.

6. Any issue using Tollovid long term in terms of a reduction in effectiveness against Covid?

Doubtful that 3CLpro will mutate given the target is a derivative of SARS-CoV-2, and therefore no evolutionary pressures on it. This target has not mutated and is deemed ‘canonical’ because it appears variant. The biggest mutation risk is likely Molnupiravir.

7. Does Tollovid work on other viruses? Would it help with EBV, Herpes, etc.?

It inhibits the 3CLpro. You can see the areas in which 3CLpro is present. You can scroll down to the subviruses associated with it. Including Nidoviruses, Picornaviruses, and Caliciviridae.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3C-like_protease

8. Do you think taking Tollovid after a course of Paxlovid makes sense to combat the rebound effect many. myself included, face?

That may make sense as it appears there is sometimes significant residual 3CLpro following Paxlovid.

9. Are there any contraindications with Tollovid? 

None that I’m aware of.

10. Does Tollovid change the color of your stool (does it make it darker or black)? 

Yes, it makes the stool darker by virtue of the Gromwell Root. This is completely normal and no side effect. Gromwell is also used as a natural purple colorant.

11. What is the difference between Tollovid and Tollovir?

The 3CL protease inhibition mechanism is the same in all three [including Paxlovid] (although Tollovir and Tollovid target the active site of the 3CLpro). Tollovir has an enhanced key anti-cytokine/anti-inflammatory component that very much differentiates it from Tollovid/Paxlovid.

12. Have you noticed people having Herxheimer reactions to Tollovid? 

We haven’t had that specific diagnosis, but have heard of people having an initial ‘reaction’ that subsides within 24h followed by benefit. We are looking into this further.

13. What’s the recommended dose for Acute Covid and Long Haulers with Covid? 

The recommended acute dose (Tollovid Max 3 pill 4x a day) is recommended for people looking to dramatically reduce their 3CL pro content. How long someone has had 3CLpro in their system may be different than ‘how much’ and ‘where’ so we recommend going with the Max dosing to start and then based upon resolution transitioning (at whatever pace a person feels right for them) to the maintenance dose. 

14. People in Europe are asking me if and how they can get this. How can non Americans get Tollovid?

People have been ordering from Europe, and it gets through customs. Often, they charge a local duty based on the commercial invoice. Hope this helps.

Tollovid aka CovidRid?

Tollovid aka CovidRid?

Yes, the title for this article is lame, but don’t worry I know it is lame, so it’s ok. With that being said, for almost 3 weeks I’ve been on Tollovid. I’ve had a significant shift in my health for the better, but it’s not that simple. It never is. As I reduce the dose I’ve felt what seems like a rebound effect, which has been seen in some who take Paxlovid. (https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/10/opinions/paxlovid-rebound-covid-treatment-sepkowitz/index.html) It’s something similar to what I also have experienced with Paxlovid and Monoclonal Antibodies, Paxlovid especially. It’s not a negative in my mind, but it’s brought on some different symptoms that I haven’t experienced so strongly in a while. I’m going to provide more detail about all this, and what this rebound feels like below, but first let me explain what Tollovid is for those who don’t know.

Tollovid is a supplement made by Todos Medical. It’s main components are Gromwell Root and Lecithin. It is a 3CL protease inhibitor, similar to Paxlovid, thus it acts as an antiviral agent by stopping replication of Sars-Cov-2, and other Coronaviruses. It also helps with inflammation, circulation, and detoxification, amongst other things, but the 3CL protease inhibitor aspect is the most intriguing to me.

My Tollovid journey started about 20 days ago. For the first 14 days I took Tollovid Max 4x a day 3 pills at a time. That is the maximum dose and they suggest to take that for 5 days straight (seems to be the dosage used for those in an acute situation, but I am a Covid Long Hauler). This went very well. I have more brain power, energy, was in a better mood, and was much more active. My inflammation in my torso in particular decreased and my urine color changed for the better and stool became more normalized. The symptoms I had at the time were mitigated a lot. On top of that, I’ve also been coughing up a lot of phlegm. The Tollovid really kicked in in a couple of days and the noticed benefits continued. During this period I was amazing inspired to go through all my stuff, which was a lot, to organize and get rid of things. This was never a thought before taking Tollovid.

On to Phase 2, finding the correct reduced dose for me. I’m still in this phase and it’s complicated, and interesting. Day 15 I decided to drop to the recommended maintenance dose of 2 pills 2x a day which is 33% of the max dose. With this change I experienced what felt like a rebound, very similar to what I experienced the first day coming off of Paxlovid after taking it for 5 days straight. My symptoms shifted and came on strong, up and down throughout the day. With Paxlovid, I had a wild nervous system reaction, increased blood pressure, and had a very tough time for about 2 days, until it gradually dissipated after 7 days. The next few days, after day 15, I increased my dose to 3 pills 2x a day, 2-2-3 pills in a day, and now the past several days I’ve done 3 pills 3x a day, which seems to be working well for me for now. The symptoms I experienced were/are increased inflammation in the head (headaches, pain on side of head), chest, heart, nerves (extra weakness at times, some pins and needles), and joints in particular all worse from the baseline from before I started the Tollovid, but with a big up and down swing throughout the day. It was certainly not as severe as going off Paxlovid cold turkey and it is better now on day 20. The spots affected were the hot spots from the past 2 plus years with Covid, but weren’t exactly the main issues I had when I started the supplement. Phase 3 is how long do I have to take this for and what will be the true maintenance dose.

With Monoclonal Antibodies, which I used for my Long Haul Covid, the symptoms I was experiencing at the time quickly improved, two of which were chest inflammation and joint pain. My neuro symptoms came on strong for about a month, up and down (more up and down than normal). With Paxlovid, used for an Acute Covid Reinfection (and Long Haul Covid), it took away my chest inflammation very fast and helped with the acute symptoms overall. The day I came off I had an extreme rebound effect, that I explained above. That first day off was really difficult to get through. I basically went back to my Long Haul (LH) baseline, with a tiny bit of improvement in my LH, after a week off of the Paxlovid. With the Tollovid, my Long Haul Covid symptoms at the time were also helped quickly and continued to improve while taking the max dose. Once I reduced the dose, I felt what I assume was that dreaded rebound effect. Symptoms shifted and they increased in intensity from where they were baseline with a big up and down swing. They all acted similarly, but they don’t all do the same things, except for one thing that they do.

So what’s happening here? I believe all three of these things were working on persistent Covid-19 virus. What else explains these similar reactions? What is the cross-over between these 3 things other than they are working against the virus? mAbs are an infusion of antibodies which will help combat the virus. Paxlovid and Tollovid are 3CL protease inhibitors which prevent viral replication. Tollovid has various benefits, but do the other 2 have various benefits? To me this screams persistent virus, which I have believed all along. It’s hard to figure out exactly why I’ve had these reactions, meaning what is actually going on in the body to get that rebound, increased inflammation effect, but it is not uncommon with other viruses and medications. Tollovid does seem to give me a little herx right after I take it, another indication I have persistent virus. A herx is a die off reaction by the way. In the very least to me it indicates Covid can persist in some, and may be a big reason for Long Haul Covid. I’ll continue to take Tollovid and provide an update in the future.

VAERS Data: Covid Vaccines vs. Other Vaccines

VAERS Data: Covid Vaccines vs. Other Vaccines

Comparing Covid Vaccines to other vaccines has been a motivation for me as I’ve questioned the general belief of their equality in safety. It’s a difficult thing to analyze though. Anyone who pretends otherwise is probably not being fair-minded. I decided to find out how many vaccinations were administered for Covid-19 compared to all other vaccinations combined since 1990, when VAERS was created, and how the vaccine injuries reported to VAERS stack up. Note, this is not necessarily the best way to analyze the safety of Covid Vaccines vs other vaccines (not that there are many great ways based on the data available), but I do think doing this analyzation raises some valid questions and points out some red flags 🚩. Before I go into my findings, let me first explain VAERS and it’s intended purpose.

“The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. … VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.” Some of the purposes of VAERS include:

• Detect new, unusual, or rare vaccine adverse events;
• Monitor increases in known adverse events;
• Identify potential patient risk factors for particular types of adverse events;
• Assess the safety of newly licensed vaccines;
• Determine and address possible reporting clusters (e.g., suspected localized [temporally or geographically] or product-/batch-/lot-specific adverse event reporting);
• Recognize persistent safe-use problems and administration errors;
• Provide a national safety monitoring system that extends to the entire general population for response to public health emergencies, such as a large-scale pandemic influenza vaccination program.

https://vaers.hhs.gov/about.html

Submitted reports to VAERS are checked by experts, including: doctors, pharmacists, and statisticians. The more serious adverse events are given further scrutiny. VAERS initially detected a dangerous intestinal obstruction linked to RotaShield, a rotavirus vaccine that was withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer. From the years of 2011-2014, VAERS collected an average of 30,000 reports each year of vaccine adverse events.

It was a painstaking process to gather and calculate the number of vaccines given in the United States by type since 1990. It was a harder task than expected. You’d think this data would be readily available, but it’s never that easy is it?

What I found was that from 1990-2021 approximately 5.63 billion non-Covid Vaccine doses have been administered (probably a few hundred million more than that, but can’t find all the data). 569 million Sars-Cov-2 Vaccinations have been administered in less than a year and a half (up to 4/16/22). It’s safe to say there have been at least 10 times more non-Covid Vaccines administered than Covid Vaccinations since 1990 (32-33 years). You can see the data here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rpQ3wZnKDDusDA4U5U7Ek5W3RRGOrZ6s5wAC7C5tdwI/edit?usp=sharing

As of April 15, 2022 there have been 2,108,012 total adverse events reported to VAERS since 1990. 1,237,645 of those adverse events have been reported due to the Covid Vaccinations. 36,724 total reported deaths to VAERS and 27,349 are reported in relation to the Covid Vaccines.

https://openvaers.com/, https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html?

Let’s do some math, since I love math. 58.7% of the adverse events reported to VAERS are for the Covid Vaccinations (1.42x more than other vaccinations). 64.8% of the hospitalizations listed on VAERS are for the Covid Vaccinations (1.84x more). 74.5% of the deaths reported to VAERS are for the Covid Vaccinations (2.92 x more). Don’t forget there have been at least 10x the number of non-Covid Vaccinations administered the last 32+ years, so multiply all these numbers by 10 and you get … 14.2x more likely to report an adverse event for the Covid Vaccines, 18.4x more likely to report a hospitalization for the Covid Vaccines, and 29.2x more likely to report a death after the Covid Vaccinations compared to all other types combined. These figures are actually higher than this and growing by the day.

Of course we are not supposed to use VAERS outside of its intended purpose, BUT this seems like a red flag 🚩in the very least. It’s kind of hard to see this data and think absolutely nothing of it. Those would be some serious mental gymnastics you would have to do to not believe this data should be scrutinized any further.

VAERS is supposed to be a signaling system, so what is going on here? I know many who have been seriously injured by the Covid Vaccines, some have reported their problems, and have received phone calls from “VAERS” asking for their medical records (sometimes they ask the same individual more than once, which doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence). What are they doing with this information? Not in theory or the utopian world. What is actually taking place with Covid Vaccine Injury data and these medical records? How are they going to make a medical connection to a Covid Vaccine in the vast majority of cases since there is no easy way to test for a vaccine injury? 29.2x more reports of deaths than all other vaccines combined seems like a safety signal (it’s still egregiously lopsided even if you just analyze the past couple of years of vaccinations, when VAERS was even more easily accessible due to technology advancements than in 1990). Maybe I’m wrong to look at this as an obvious safety signal … or maybe our system is failing us at the worst time. It’s hard to fathom a situation where they are not overwhelmed with injury reports. There have been more adverse events reported to VAERS the last year and a half, than the 31 years prior. Lots of questions here that need answers. I wish the mainstream media would dig deeper to find out what’s going on behind the scenes. Covid Vaccine injuries are not trivial. Covid health related matters matter more than Covid Vaccine Injuries that can be just as serious. That’s a sad reality.

We know VAERS has been used in the past many times, even for the Covid Vaccines. The Johnson & Johnson Covid Vaccine, which make up only 3.2% of vaccinations given in the USA, was paused briefly. The “CDC and FDA issued a pause of the Janssen vaccine April 12–23, 2021, after 6 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a serious condition that involves blood clots in the brain, were identified in VAERS.” Only 6 cases preceded the halt … what are they doing about 27,349 deaths reported (which is SURELY an under reporting, as stated in “Safety monitoring in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)”, “…, reporting rates for specific adverse events that approach the background rates might indicate a safety problem due to the known underreporting of adverse events to VAERS.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4632204/)? There have been more than 6 confirmed cases of Covid Vaccine deaths, just for your information.

Furthermore, how and why has there not been a VAERS publication listed on the CDC website since May of 2021? There were 10 in 2021, 8 in 2020, 14 in 2019, and 14 in 2018 just for an idea of publication frequency. For further clarification, the publication on the CVST related to the Johnson & Johnson Covid Vaccines was published 3-4 weeks after the safety signal was seen. This means in a full year there have been no publications for VAERS posted to the CDC’s website.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/vaers/publications.html

The questions I have in my mind only increased while writing this piece. Finding a black hole of VAERS publications for the past year on the CDC website just fuels the suspicions more. The data looks bad, the optics look bad, and the way some things are taken seriously and others seem to be brushed aside, looks bad as well. Those analyzing the VAERS data officially need to be placed under a microscope because what’s occurring, or not occuring, from the outside looks quite inadequate.

“Trust The Science” – Manipulative & Moronic

“Trust The Science” – Manipulative & Moronic

“Trust the science” … if ever a more manipulative and moronic, I enjoy alliteration, phrase has been spouted from every possible mountain top recently. It’s usually said in relation to the Covid Vaccines. The phrase standing on its own sounds quite reasonable. What you don’t believe in “science?” Are you anti-science? What a fool you must be! This is what lends to the manipulative aspect of the phrase. Not that we should ignore science and data, but we should see it for what it is, and what issues there may be with it, after it’s analyzed deeper. We should not ignore the reality occurring all around us because of past trials, data (that may be or is weak), and so called “science.” Plus we should realize what we think we know now may not be true. If people learned anything from history, they would know better.

Trust the science to me sounds more like, trust what I’m telling you and don’t think about it any further. Trust the authorities and credentialed in charge, you aren’t smart enough to analyze this or have an opinion. Trust the data and pretend like “there are lies, damned lies, and statistics” isn’t an accurate quotation. Trust that studies have always held up to the same level of safety when the drug/product is more widely used in public. Trust that people are infallible and never have ulterior motivations. Trust that the those in the government will always act in the best interest of the people. Trust that nothing has been distorted in a way to show what whomever is overseeing things wants to show. Trust that we will not learn anything more in the future. Trust that the science is settled, despite how many times the scientific community has been incorrect or hasn’t been aware of a safety issue in the past (or has been and flat out ignored it).

If people uttering “trust the science” weren’t so ignorant of history, or just disingenuous about it in a manipulative way, they would know how moronic it is to say that. Here is a history lesson for these ignorant people:

• DDT (Pesticide): Available for public use in USA in 1945. In October 1945, National Geographic ran a feature on the “world of tomorrow.” They declared health and medicine would be vastly improved thanks to sterilizing lamps, penicillin, and, of course, DDT. In 1957 The New York Times reported an unsuccessful struggle to restrict DDT use in Nassau County, NY. In 1962, the book Silent Spring argued that pesticides, including DDT, were poisoning both wildlife and the environment and were endangering human health. DDT became a prime target of the growing anti-chemical and anti-pesticide movements, and in 1967 a group of scientists and lawyers founded Environmental Defense (later Environmental Defense Fund, EDF) with the specific goal of enacting a ban on DDT. In response to an EDF suit, the U.S. District Court of Appeals in 1971 ordered the EPA to begin the de-registration procedure for DDT. After an initial six-month review process, William Ruckelshaus, the EPA’s first Administrator, rejected an immediate suspension of DDT’s registration, citing studies from the EPA’s internal staff stating that DDT was not an imminent danger. However, these findings were criticized, as they were performed mostly by economic entomologists inherited from the United States Department of Agriculture, who many environmentalists felt were biased towards agribusiness and understated concerns about human health and wildlife. In the summer of 1972, Ruckelshaus announced the cancellation of most uses of DDT. Again, this caused controversy. Immediately after the announcement, both the EDF and the DDT manufacturers filed suit against EPA. The Agricultural Industry sought to overturn the ban, while the EDF wanted a comprehensive ban. The cases were consolidated, and in 1973 the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the EPA had acted properly in banning DDT. During the late 1970s, the EPA also began banning organochlorines, pesticides that were chemically similar to DDT. These included aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, heptachlor, texaphene, and mirex. —– It took 28 YEARS to get a probably cancerous and harmful chemical “banned” thanks to governmental and big agriculture objections while the media helped promote the pesticide as something that would be beneficial to your health. Sound familiar??? It sounds like the script has already been written for the Covid Vaccines. … “Trust the science,” I’m sure people clamored, as they sprayed DDT in their house and on their children.

• Cigarettes: Here we go again. Cigarettes became popular and mass produced around the time of the Civil War (1864 or so). In the 1930s-50s, in order to advertise for cigarettes, advertisers used the catchphrase ‘doctors recommend!’ In the 1930s, tobacco companies had an army of doctors ready to debunk you as a quack for even suggesting something as benign as a cigarette could give you cancer. The cigarette companies even paid doctors to appear in advertisements to reassure people that smoking is something doctors encourage. In 1956, a Surgeon General’s scientific study group determined that there was a causal relationship between excessive cigarette smoking and lung cancer. It wasn’t until January 11, 1964 that the public was given the true story via a definitive report linking smoking with lung cancer. The Terry report claimed: ‘In comparison with nonsmokers, average male smokers of cigarettes have approximately a 9-to-10-fold risk of developing lung cancer and heavy smokers at least a 20-fold risk.’ The report held cigarette smoking responsible for a 70 percent increase in the mortality rate of smokers over nonsmokers. Smoking was officially named as the most important cause of chronic bronchitis, also pointing to a link between smoking and emphysema, and smoking and coronary heart disease. Not to even go into the nicotine addiction saga. …. That was more than 92 YEARS to admit cigarettes were cancer causing for those wondering.

• Vioxx (former Merck NSAID): This is a doozy! Approved by FDA in May of 1999 after efficacy and safety tested in clinical trials. There were 9 studies of 13,400 people when, or soon thereafter, Vioxx was approved. More than 80 million people were prescribed the drug at some time after approval. In September 2004, Merck voluntarily withdrew Rofecoxib (Vioxx) from the market because of concerns about increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with long-term, high-dosage use. Merck withdrew the drug after disclosures that it withheld information about Rofecoxib’s risks from doctors and patients for over five years, allegedly resulting in between 88,000 and 140,000 cases of serious heart disease (38,000+ died). Before it was withdrawn Merck had $2.5 billion in sales the year before. You mean a profit motivation influenced the science? HUH?! It gets worse. … In December of 1999 the government, DSMB (Data & Safety Monitoring Board) Chairman Michael Weinblatt knew about heart problems related to Vioxx. In February of 2000, Mr. Weinblatt fills out a financial disclosure form that he and his wife own $72,975 of Merck stock. Weinblatt agrees to a new consulting contract with Merck. “We are delighted that you have agreed to serve as a member of the VIOXX Multidisciplinary Advisory Board,” Merck writes in an invitation to Weinblatt to attend his first advisory board meeting. Weinblatt signs the new contract on March 6. It involves 12 days of work over two years, at the rate of $5,000 per day. Hmmm nahhh that’s not a conflict or anything. This all seems fine to me! On the up and up! BUT it gets worse. … The VIGOR (safety data) paper to the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) for publication submitted by Merck only included only 17 of the 20 heart attacks Vioxx patients had (that’s 15% not included for those counting). You mean they distorted the data? I doubt that’s happened in any other circumstance … oh yeah it has with Maddie de Garay, Brianne Dressen, etc. and the Covid Vaccine trials (see former blog post). … They said it was safe and used it for 5 years, but it wasn’t! Imagine being a blathering idiot back then saying “trust the science,” Vioxx doesn’t cause a lot of heart attacks, you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist, while people taking the drug die of heart attacks? It’s almost like long-term injury data and what we see occur out in nature is important or something. Go figure.

• Swine Flu Vaccine: In 1976, there was a Swine Flu outbreak. A Swine Flu Vaccine was quickly created, but it unfortunately caused likely hundreds of cases of GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome) and led to 25-32 deaths (of course there could have been more that just couldn’t be linked to the vax). Unlike what we are seeing now from the media, a week into beginning the Swine Flu Vaccinations the papers had begun reporting troubling news from vaccine clinics in Pittsburgh: three apparently unexplained deaths due to heart attacks.  … But it was just one of many problems that plagued the “swine flu affair of 1976”, when a US president decided to rush a vaccine to the entire American population based on ill-founded science and political imprudence. Lawsuits, side-effects, and negative media coverage followed, and the events dented confidence in public health for years to come. What happened might even have laid the foundations for the ‘mistaken’ anti-vax views and distrust in public health that would spread decades later. … In February of 1976, several soldiers at Fort Dix fell ill with a new Swine Flu. By October they were rolling out vaccines. The Swine Flu Vaccination program lasted about 2 months before it was suspended. For Fineberg, “the fundamental strategic blunder” was announcing a mass vaccination programme so early. It was premature, and locked politicians into a very visible commitment. 1 person died from the Swine Flu (which seemed to occur with the initial outbreak in February 1976) and there were only about 200 cases. … Never let them tell you all vaccines are always safe and successful. This was before the VAERS system, which has under reportings as is, so I can’t imagine how many vaccine injuries and deaths were missed.
• Earth Center of the Universe: Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton all believed the sun was the center of the universe and not the earth. The consensus said otherwise. It took more than a century for heliocentrism to become accepted even after all of these scientific geniuses said it was so. Even if you’re smarter than everyone in the room, it’s difficult to change the group thinkers and powers that be from a consensus belief.
• More Drugs, Vaccines, and other things that caused harm (time on market before recalled or pulled): Accutane (27 Years), Asbestos (Not completely banned in USA, one of the few developed countries that hasn’t completely banned it), BioThrax – Anthrax Vaccine (Still Kicking), Bextra (4 Years), Cylert (35 Years), Duract (1 Year), Ergamisol (11 Years), LYMERix -Lyme Disease Vaccine (4 Years), Meridia (13 Years), Raptiva (6 Years), Rezulin (3 Years), Seldane (13 Years), etc. etc. etc. Nevermind bringing up the opioid epidemic.

Do the “trust the science” echoers still use most of this stuff? Many of these things were deemed safe via initial scientific consensus, BUT perhaps they learned more over time and decided these things weren’t actually safe. See how that works? … With time you can learn that things you thought were true, or safe, are not. Being so sure of yourself can make you very ignorant, especially if you’ve never considered and analyzed the alternative to your opinions (which most of these people have not). A lot of data related to Covid and the Covid Vaccines is tenuous at best for various reasons. Much of it is hard to collect. Covid Vaccine Injury data is some of the hardest to gather (even if “they” tried hard to gather it). What’s scientific about distorted data, omitted data, or horribly collected data? Not too much. Analyzation matters A LOT.

Trust the science is really a manipulative and moronic phrase if you understand anything about the medical industry or history. No one really has a reason or benefit to admit Covid Vaccine Injuries, certainly not the government, big pharma, the media, social media, doctors, or people in general, unless you are the vaccine injured person or are a family member of one (a family member that happens to not be gaslighting the injured person). It seems the powers that be would rather not know about the Covid Vaccine Injuries because what’s the benefit now that the push has long been in motion? The government can be sued, big pharma has profit motivations, and your doctor can be sued or can be ostracized for taking an unpopular position, that someone had a Covid Vaccine Injury, and potentially lose their livelihood for speaking up for these harmed individuals.

Think about that for a second if you’re so sure of yourself and how safe the Covid Vaccines “have” to be. The scientific consensus deeming something safe hasn’t held water many times in the past. Everything is safe, until you find out it’s not. Sometimes that takes time and sometimes that takes time and a lot of noise to get to a tipping point. There are plenty of glaring red flags out there pointing to the Covid Vaccines being more harmful than suggested, plus what your eyes, ears, and brain should be telling you about what’s happening right in front of your face and all around. I don’t trust those that constantly utter “trust the science” because I’m aware of history and I know they’re probably trying to manipulate. Don’t be content and think nothing more about it because of these people. Analyze deeper. Time will not be kind to these “trust the science” exclaimers.

Covid Vaccine Trials: Adverse Reactions, Data Distortion, & Media…

Covid Vaccine Trials: Adverse Reactions, Data Distortion, & Media Censorship

“Omissions are a form of censorship.”

On November 2, 2021, Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, held a Covid Vaccine Injury panel which featured a plethora of experts and people discussing their injuries, or experiences with the Covid Vaccines. Senator Johnson is a controversial figure, but he seems to be one of the few, possibly the only representative that cares about the Covid Vaccine injured and cares about Covid Vaccine safety. He gives people a platform to talk about their experiences with the Covid Vaccines, and the trials, that they would otherwise struggle to get. That’s very important as Covid Vaccine injuries are occurring and they can be quite severe, even resulting in death. One might think the mainstream media would be interested in covering these stories provided during the panel, but they were more motivated to attempt to discredit them, as you will see later.

Two of the people on the panel were Covid Vaccine injured in their perspective trials. They are, now 13 year old, Maddie de Garay (who was with her mother Stephanie) and Brianne Dressen. They’re not anti-vaxers. Stephanie volunteered her daughter, Maddie, and son for the Pfizer trial and Brianne Dressen, whose husband is a chemist, volunteered for the AstraZenca trial. These are people that are pro-vax, but realize the safety data for the Covid Vaccines specifically, should be brought into question based on what they, and others, have experienced. They are also advocating for acknowledgment and treatment for the injured.

Brandy Zadrozny tries to paint Maddie and her mother in another way. She’s a reporter for NBC News. Brandy wrote a piece, which would be hard to construe in any other way than as a gaslighting piece, on 13 year old Maddie de Garay on November 3, 2021. The date of Brandy’s piece is no coincidence compared to when the panel took place. In the article she tries to tie people who have Covid Vaccine injuries to anti-vaxers. There’s an obvious little problem in suggesting people who voluntarily took the Covid Vaccines, especially in a trial, are anti-vax. People who are anti-vax would not be seen in the same zip code as a Covid Vaccine trial and probably wouldn’t take the voluntary vaccines at all. Before Brandy Zadrozny wrote her article, she spoke with Trevor Fitzgibbon, who handled Maddie’s Covid Vaccine injury panel press release, to ask him questions. Trevor relayed those questions from Brandy to Stephanie de Garay.

Here are the questions that were asked by Brandy and the answers provided by Stephanie de Garay: 1. Have Maddie’s parents officially found out whether she was in the vaccine group or the placebo group? A. Yes, Vaccine., 2. Where are they in the process of Pfizer’s investigation? Last I saw was that they are still investigating. A. As far as we are aware, they are not investigating. They reported the injury as abdominal pain., 3. Pro Vaccine advocates are concerned that Maddie’s AD (she had an ad that was approved to run during a SNL commercial break, but was cut last minute by Comcast, https://odysee.com/@VSRF:d/maddieaddenied:3?r=2M9u5KF2usQwTWCxABmwYSnk3fawY4V1) is the kind of graphic, unverified video that anti-vaccine advocates use to undermine confidence in the Covid Vaccine and all childhood vaccines (‘I don’t get why people lump all vaccines together, especially when the Covid Vaccines have unique characteristics that would make their injury profiles quite different than others.’). Want to give you a chance to respond. A. We should care about the minority of individuals that will be injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. It is unfortunate that “pro vaccine advocates” feel the need to dismiss those injured by the vaccines in order to promote vaccines. The promotion of vaccines is already rampant — what we need is to recognize the harms they can cause so we can develop treatments for these harms and that is what drives the need for ads like the one being run about Maddie. and 4. Do any of her medical records state her multiple conditions are CAUSED by the vaccine? Some of the things I’ve read have noted the timing correlation, but not a diagnosis of causation. (‘The ole, you got paralyzed soon after the Covid Vaccine as a healthy 12 year old girl, causation doesn’t equal correlation trick. That’s a bold stance!’) A. The medical records for each encounter the day after and for weeks after vaccination reflect the vaccine as the cause of injury.

Let’s recap … which may not go well for Brandy. Before she wrote her NBC News article, Brandy was able to see the panel, had Maddie de Garay’s press release for the panel (here is the full release https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eGKZvUI-ZIk4S8Wy8dYhlFRmr4YLePlH/edit) at her disposal, also received the above answers to her questions, and had these medical records below. Yet, she still wrote what you’re about to read.

Below is an excerpt from Brandy’s article “Covid vaccines for children are coming. So is misinformation.”

“Vaccine advocates are pointing to a recent example spreading quickly on social media as a harbinger for the kind of graphic misinformation that they fear most. 

The video, first posted to a fringe anti-vaccine website and then spread through mainstream sites including YouTube and Facebook, is only 30 seconds long, but devastating. In a carousel of vignettes, a young girl with a beaming smile digs in the dirt, dances on her front lawn and celebrates over cake with her family. It then cuts to a closeup shot of the girl’s face as she cries out in pain, her head wrapped in bandages and a tube through her nose. Later, three adults hoist her limp body into a wheelchair, then it quickly cuts to her hospital gown, an intravenous line in her hand and ends, lingering on a video of her legs as she shakes uncontrollably. 

The cause of the girl’s condition is unclear. Her mother said on a panel held Tuesday in Washington, D.C., hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., that she was injured by a Covid vaccine administered as part of a Pfizer trial at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. (Johnson has been widely criticized for spreading misleading claims about the vaccines.) The family’s lawyer, Aaron Siri — who also represents the country’s largest anti-vaccine organization, the Informed Consent Action Network — claims the doctors investigating the case misdiagnosed her myriad injuries as unrelated to the vaccine then downplayed them as abdominal pain. In the meantime, anti-vaccine activists have made the girl a poster child for their cause.

The mother of the girl and the group behind the ad have not provided any evidence that the girl was diagnosed as harmed by a Covid-19 vaccine.”

That seems to be an “interesting” take on Brandy’s part, based on the facts. As you can see she attempted a couple of obvious tactics that maybe a few a little light on the IQ fell for. 1. She called someone’s own story about their Covid Vaccine Injury, a 13 year old girl mind you, misinformation and stated there is no evidence of it (despite the evidence of it). As if Brandy is like Facebook’s Algorithm and has no ability to reason, automatically discrediting or censoring anything negative said about the Covid Vaccines. I thought reason is what separated the humans from the rest. 2. Zadrozny tried to tie Maddie and her mother to anti-vaxers by saying the lawyer representing them is an anti-vaccine, wink wink. NO ONE anti-vax signs both their children up for a vaccine trial. What a ridiculous attempt to tie the two together that was blatantly transparent. Perhaps the lawyer is used to representing the vaccine injured and that’s the reason he was hired … because he knows what to do … because Maddie is Covid Vaccine injured like is stated in her medical records. 3. The worst one. Brandy lied. She said Stephanie de Garay provided no proof Maddie was diagnosed as harmed by a Covid-19 Vaccine. She did provide proof. It was in the press release. Brandy chose to ignore it. Unfortunately for this “reporter” … she’s been downgraded to the quotation marks now …. clinical diagnosis is a diagnosis and Maddie de Garay has that. The key parts of the press release were highlighted and everything. It was clear as day, a 3rd grader’s delight and an NBC News reporter’s worst nightmare apparently. I guess it’s simple enough to just ignore what you want in order to protect the narrative you believe in at all costs. Even at the cost of throwing a 13 year old under the bus while not being honest about Covid Vaccine injuries that are occuring.

You can see this upstanding journalist’s gaslighting piece on a Covid Vaccine Injured paralyzed 13 year old girl with a feeding tube below. You are advised to not eat food or drink anything at the same time as reading this. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/vaccine-misinformation-poised-spike-covid-shots-kids-roll-rcna4360

But I digress. Let’s go back to Maddie and Brianne (and others) who had their data distorted or left out altogether in their Covid Vaccine trials. Maddie de Garay, a 12 year old girl at the time, participated in a Pfizer Covid Vaccine Trial. Unfortunately, she is now paralyzed, using a feeding tube, and has constant pain in her stomach, back, and neck because of her Covid Vaccinations. Her side effects to this day, 9 months later after her 2nd dose of the Pfizer Vaccine, are still listed as functional abdominal pain aka a stomach ache, despite her mother Stephanie’s plea for it to be changed. Part of the problem seems to be that the app used in trial to track side effects. It only allowed for Maddie to record solicited adverse events like fever, injection site pain, anaphylaxis, etc., but many of the more severe side effects were not listed as choices. Additionally, there was no write in option for other side effects and you could only report side effects for 7 days after each shot. It’s almost as if they didn’t want to know. Vaccine injuries can start weeks to a few months after the shot. Why are they only tracking for 7 days? Makes ZERO sense if they truly want accurate safety data. One of the main reasons for a trial in the first place! In order to report an adverse event not listed in the app, one of the two options you have is to call the study doctor.

In the EUA amendment and NEJM article, Maddie’s injury is listed as functional abdominal pain, even though her principal investigator was the lead author of the NEJM article (fully aware of her paralyzation and other injuries). By the data collection cutoff for the trial, Maddie had experienced 35 adverse events. Pfizer, nor the FDA, nor the CDC has ever reached out to Maddie or Stephanie. Seems like the bigger story here is the distortion of trial safety data, and not so much taking the time to falsely represent the cause of a 13 year old girl’s medical condition.

About a year ago, Brianne Dressen gladly signed up to be in the AstraZenca (AZ) Covid Vaccine Clinical Trial. “I never had any issue with any vaccine” she said. AZ agreed to pay any medical expense as the result of any medical injury from the trial. A year later and she’s seen the grand sum of $590. She has had to refinance her home to pay for the more than $300,000 in medical bills. Bree quickly fell ill with major neurological issues that have lasted for many months after the first dose. She lost the use of her legs and was diagnosed with MS. The NIH has told her her reaction is an immune mediated response to the spike protein. Dressen wasn’t allowed to get second dose and was dropped from the trial, her data excluded, and access to trial app deleted. Before the app was deleted, she experienced many of the same things Maddie did above with her app. There was no way to track most serious side effects from the app and nowhere to write in side effects. The final report says the individuals that didn’t get the second dose chose to forgo getting it. Brianne claims that’s incorrect, as she was removed from the trial. Either way, why doesn’t her adverse reaction data matter? Do we not care who was harmed from the first dose of the vaccine and how they were harmed when it comes to the safety of them? This seems like a major flaw in the trials. People receiving these shots would care. They deserve their proper informed consent, which they aren’t receiving. Brianne hasn’t heard from officials in regards to the trial in 10 months and all that critical safety data is now lost.

Janet Woodcock, acting Commissioner of the FDA, and Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA, have been asked, begged, and pleaded with repeatedly to acknowledge these severe reactions. They’ve declined. “They know about the issues with the clinical trials, they know about the deaths, they know about the lack of follow up on VAERS, they know about the injuries to children, they know about Maddie, they know about the mandates put on the injured, they know about the suicides as the results of month’s long suffering, they know about the aggressive censorship, they know about the media censorship, they know about the scientific censorship … THEY KNOW ALL OF IT, and they have for months” says Brianne Dressen. Peter Marks has been seen in a video interview commenting on what’s the worst that could happen to children getting the Covid Vaccines (12-15 year olds). The worst he had to say was there was some Myocarditis in males that was typically not severe. You would think, at a minimum, the worst that could happen is paralyzation, based on what happened to Maddie de Garay, whom Peter Marks knows about. Guess that slipped his mind. I’m sure it was an honest mistake. You can watch what he said verbatim below.

Towards the end of Bree’s speech on the panel, she reads a tear jerking letter her friend wrote her before they committed suicide because of their Covid Vaccine injury. It was heartbreaking to hear, but unfortunately, not surprising as I know of others who committed suicide from Covid Vaccine injuries (and Long Haul Covid too).

https://rumble.com/vokrf7-sen.-johnson-expert-panel-on-federal-vaccine-mandates.html *start at 2:29 for Maddie and then Brianne, but the rest of the panel is really important to watch too. Including Ernesto Ramirez, who lost his 16 year old son five days to an enlarged heart after the Pfizer vaccine.*

The organizations that should protect us, aren’t protecting us. Big pharma seems to only care about their own profit motivations, the government won’t help those screaming out for help, social media platforms will censor those talking about their own Covid Vaccine injuries claiming reality is misinformation, and the media will flip whatever on its head and gaslight a child in order to promote their narrative that Covid Vaccines are quite safe without taking everything into consideration or investigating further. Not to sound too dramatic, but that is pretty scary and arguably even evil. Brianne Dressen had a Facebook group of 5,000 Covid Vaccine injured. Her one mistake was letting it get too big. Facebook found them and destroyed the group. They lost contact with many people in crisis when they were shut down. People contemplating suicide that seeked the support of others who were in their position and believed in them, because so many doctors and people in their lives do not. These groups are sometimes the only lifeline for the Covid Vaccine injured, who as you can see get gaslit at ever turn.

It’s a shame what happened to Maddie, Stephanie, and Brianne, and others, because of the Covid Vaccines. They’re very brave to speak out, while ill, when everyone in a position of power seems to be against them. People need to know their stories. People need to know how people and organizations are actively trying to suppress these Covid Vaccine injuries. People need to push back against this very un-American censorship, the lies, and distortions. We need to try to get a better and fairer assessment of the safety profile of the Covid Vaccines and get acknowledgement for the injured and treatment for their Covid Vaccine injuries.

Thousands of Recent Unexpected Deaths in England & Wales:…

Thousands of Recent Unexpected Deaths in England & Wales: Why?

A few days ago I noticed an article in Yahoo News, via The Telegraph, entitled “Thousands more people than usual are dying … but it’s not from Covid.” ¹ The publication goes on to state a few things that I will comment about later. Here are some bullet points:

1. There have been thousands of excess deaths recently in England and Wales (E&W), which is particularly unusual for the summer time. Since July 2, 2021 (date of article September 24, 2021) there have been 9,619 excess deaths in E&W. 4,635 of those deaths were not caused by Covid-19.
2. In this time period there have been 2,103 extra deaths from ischemic heart disease, 1,552 from heart failure, and 760 from cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and aneurysm.
3. A doctor interviewed suggested this may be occuring because of a backlog due to the delays Covid caused for other patients. Elective operations fell significantly between March 2020 and February 2021 as the NHS prioritised Covid-19 care.

Let’s first analyze the data before we get to my suspected reason as to why. Enjoy the math, I know I do! There are 84 days between July 2nd and September 24th (if this is the time period they are saying in the article, it’s not completely clear, but this is me being conservative). 84 days x 4.345 = 365 days approximately (1 year). Thus 4,635 excess deaths x 4.345 = 20,162 excess deaths in a year (if paced equally).

In the United Kingdom (which also includes Northern Ireland and Scotland) the Covid Vaccinated population % with the 1st dose by July 1, 2021 was 82.8% and 2nd dose was 61.2%. By September 24, 2021 the vaccinated population % with the 1st dose was 89.6% and 2nd dose was 82.2%. By adding 89.6 + 82.2 and then subtracting 82.8 + 61.2 from that, and then by dividing the result into 82.8 + 61.2 we can figure out how many more Covid Vaccinations took place between January and July 1 2021 as opposed to July 2 and September 24 2021.² The results are in … from January to July 1 2021, 5.18x (actually higher because there was a month and change of data missing from the website I was looking at) more Covid Vaccinations were provided as opposed to the 84 days after in England and Wales. … By this point you probably know where I’m heading with this, but there is more analyzation to do.

Since there were 5.18x more Covid Vaccines provided prior to July 2nd through September 24, 2021 in E&W, this has to be taken in account. If these excess deaths were caused by the Covid Vaccines than 28,644 people died in excess in England and Wales between January 11 and September 24th 2021 with 3+ months left to round out a year, and with boosters possibly on the way. The population of England and Wales combined is 59,116,000. The population of the United States is 328,200,000. USA’s population is 5.55 times larger than England and Wales combined. Multiplying the revised number of 28,644 excess deaths by 5.55, based on how much larger the US population is than England and Wales’, you get 158,975 excess deaths. The UK is only about 3-4% more vaccinated than the US. Adjusting for that, conservatively, we get to 152,616 excess deaths potentially in the US if caused by the Covid Vaccines in 8.5-9 months time.

There are certainly variables at play that don’t make this mathematical process perfect, such as: the US not having AstraZeneca as an approved vaccine, how are excess deaths measured and if there are multiple reasons for them (if there are less flu deaths, car accident deaths, and more people taking their health seriously, etc. does this mean that there really are even more accidental deaths or the reverse could be true from suicides, delayed surgeries, etc.), excess deaths exist normally, but they usually occur in the winter, etc.

So what changed from 2020 to 2021? There was a backlog in operations and procedures in both 2020 and 2021. Covid was running rampant both years as well. The vaccine is by far the biggest change. Hundreds of millions of vaccine doses were dolled out in England, Wales, and The United States. The vaccine rollouts started December 8th in the UK and December 14th 2020 in the US.

Is it possible these excess deaths, which seem largely heart and vascular related in England and Wales, are caused by the Covid Vaccinations? It should be considered seriously as opposed to the media, social media, and tech companies trying their hardest to prevent “misinformation.” “Misinformation” such as people talking about their own vaccine injuries and their own experiences. Since when can’t people discuss and get censored for such things in a “free” United States of America? It’s despicable what these platforms are doing to people seeking help and trying to inform others, but I digress.

Do I know that Covid Vaccines caused these deaths? No. Should health organizations and the media take these excess deaths seriously and investigate? Yes. That shouldn’t be so much to ask. They should naturally want to dig deeper into these mystery deaths. … In time we should know the excess deaths in 2021 for the US (a few months probably). That will be telling. I won’t be surprised if there are a significant number of excess deaths this year in the United States as well. The data on Covid Vaccine adverse events and injuries is weak, to put it mildly. You’d be quite intellectually dishonest and naive to think otherwise. These statistics put my antenas right up. If the powers that be really cared about the well being of the people, they would look into this instead of worrying so much about censoring and suppressing skepticism.

I hope we get these answers soon as to why these deaths are occuring. Maybe it won’t correlate to the vaccines, but until we get better data which has been properly analysed so we have clearer answers, remember “there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

TLC – Treat Long Covid – Conference Day One…

TLC – Treat Long Covid – Conference Day One Notes (6.19.21)

All notes below are thoughts expressed during a Long Haul Conference on 6.19.21. Please consult a physician before acting upon any of the information presented below. Notes may be incomplete. Please double check notes with video, when that is made available.

Dr. Bruce Patterson — Covid Long Haulers & IncellDX  

• Immuno Watch App coming out in a month to track symptoms, etc. 
• Immune System Dysfunction can occur when virus not cleared
• IncellKine Kit can measure cytokines and chemokines
• CD14-CD16% shows increase in monocytes
• CD19 shows B cell increase
• CD40, VEGF show vascular inflammation
• IFN-Y & IL-2 important Long Hauler markers
• There is now a lab in Chicago (and I believe Colorado) doing the IncellKine testing
• 6,000 tested so far and Dr. Patterson and his cohort are treating 50-100 Long Haulers a week
• Register on www.covidlonghaulers.com
• There is now a code for insurance reimbursement for Telemedicine
• Pushing for more funding for those who cannot afford
• Long Haul Covid centers around vascular inflammation
• CD14+-CD16+ elevated in Long Haul Covid means antigen presenting and monocytes scavenging
• CD14Low-CD16+ means antigen present, associated in some way with vascular and endothelial systems
• CCR5^ (CX3 and CR1 ???) less Ace2, CD14+-CD16+
• Cells might not be infected anymore, monocytes are probably scavenging endothelial cells that contain SARS2 protein
• Find these monocytes in Long Haulers up to 15 months past initial infection
• Covid protein stimulating immune response
• Protein can cross the BBB (blood brain barrier) and it binds to endothelial cells and causes vascular inflammation
• CD14Low-CD16+ S1 protein activating immune system, vascular inflammation — Maraviroc for CCR5^, Statins interrupt fractalkine receptor
• S1 protein confirmed
• Inhibit non-classical monocytes by binding
• Angiogenesis = VEGF^ 
• Vasodilation may = head fullness, headaches/migraines
• Monocytes mobilized by exercise
• Blood vessels inflamed, systemic issue, nothing more systemic than blood vessels
• Reservoirs of Covid form during acute illness which probably accounts for many Long Haulers, immune system disrupted
• Virus can be active despite negative nasal swab (can be somewhere else in the body)
• Had one patient RNA positive for the virus at 15 months (virus may not be replicating though)
• Aggressive treatment with initial infection would help
• Believes Borrelia (Lyme Disease) protein membranes scavenged by monocytes possibly for years, believes this may cause Chronic Lyme, no Lyme to be found — (NOTE: Having had Chronic Lyme and managed a clinic that was very Lyme centric, I would disagree that there is no Lyme active, as I reacted to antimicrobial treatments and they eventually gave me my life back after 10 years (when I found the right one). I even feel that Covid is active still as the same areas keep being affected for me. If the protein was just circulating wouldn’t I be affected all over instead of very specific spots? Maybe the virus and Lyme are just really hard to find in testing. I don’t know, food for thought. I think Dr. Patterson is great. He’s doing some amazing things, but if he experienced this stuff like I have, I wonder if he would take a different viewpoint, despite the testing. Both Lyme and Covid are quite complex, so anyone trying to get to the bottom of either of these things deserves a lot of credit for that massive undertaking, and stressful undertaking.)
• Testing will be available soon in Europe for cytokines & chemokines — Pilot is being done in Madrid

Dr. Syed Mobeen — Drbeen Medical Lectures on YouTube & drbeen.com

• Dr. Been is a software engineer in addition to being a doctor
• Works with FLCCC
• Early aggressive treatment would help
• Likes statins, steroids, Luvox (Fluvoxamine), and Ivermectin
• Possibilities: Viral Hit and Run causing immune dysregulation — RNA Less Viral Debris (Proteins), monocyte repair calls for eating up of broken tissue, antigens, etc. — Virion Debris persistence in other tissue, after RNA cleared out — MCAS starting up or unmasked — Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS), non-classical monocytes
• Multi-system issue — Ivermectin can’t cross BBB
• Sometimes temporary improvement with Ivermectin, helps with inflammation
• Ivermectin 0.2mg/kg to 0.4mg/kg of body weight
• 3 out of 100s of Dr. Been’s patients became Long Haulers
• Correct vitamin levels important
• Luvox 50mg 2x a day for 1-2 weeks (NOTE: a lot of Long Haulers start slow and build up. I had some side effects, so I’m glad I did, but they went away after a few weeks) — use if you have neuro symptoms — can cross BBB — not being used for psychiatric reasons by Dr. Been — Sigma 1 mechanism, anti-inflammatory for neuro
• Ivermectin taken 5 days then weekly for 2 months
• Ivermectin disrupts or binds with spike protein, changes macrophage and monocyte behavior (NOTE: For everyone’s understanding below is the definition of a monocyte and macrophage)

Monocytes are the largest type of white blood cells and play an important role in the adaptive immunity process. Monocytes typically circulate through the blood for 1–3 days before migrating into tissues, where they become macrophages or dendritic cells.

Macrophages are monocytes that have migrated from the bloodstream into any tissue in the body. Here they aid in phagocytosis to eliminate harmful materials such as foreign substances, cellular debris, and cancer cells.

• No Ivermectin for those under 2 years old, pregnant, or compromised BBB
• If dizzy then reduce dose and move to evenings
• Lymphatic Massage (around neck/head) and Spinal Pumping can reduce neuro symptoms
• Pulse steroids for pulmonary system
• If Fluvoxamine (Luvox) makes symptoms worse think MCAS
• Steroids 0.5mg/kg for days, 0.25mg/kg for 5 days, 0.12mg/kg for 5 days (taken in am) — may have to repeat after a month
• If bounce back to baseline symptoms after steroids go to Ivermectin or Fluvoxamine
• For MAS (Macrophage Acr — Take Vit C 500mg 2x a day, Omega 3 4gm/day, Atorvastatin 40mg/day, Melatonin 2-10mg at night (increase over time), D3 2,000-4,000 IUs Daily
• MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) poked by Covid or unmasked by Covid
• For MCAS, Type 1 Antihistamines: …. Type 2 Antihistamines: …. Mast Cell Stabilizers: …. LDN & ….
• FLCCC.net
• Majority of patients feel worse with vaccine (as per Dr. Tina Peers)
• Conjecture as to why vaccine helps some and has a negative impact on others — 10-20% seem helped possibly because immune system not active enough to clear out viral debris and immune system get boosted to help clear that — Negative impact may be because vaccine produces spike protein, causes non-classical macrophages, spikes stay causing Long Haulers because of the vaccine

Dr. Lawrence Afrin — Mast Cell Activation Syndrome Expert

• MCAD (Mast Cell Activation Disease)
• Allergic diseases = allergy + inflammation
• Mastocytosis = MC neoplasia (abnormal growth of tissue) + allergy + inflammation
• MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) = inflammation + allergy + aberrant growth (Dystrophism)
• Case Study (non-Covid and Long Hauler): woman in her 30s notices migratory rash — over time has fatigue, itching, vertigo, falls, evals negative — eventually mildly elevated hemoglobin, polycythemia vera (PV) diagnosed incorrectly — steadily worsened with migratory GI symptoms, labile BP/pulse (POTS), poor healing, episodic shortness of breath, frequent upper respiratory “infections” with no infectant ever found, rashes to all antibiotics
• Serum tryptase, urine N-methylhistamine normal, marrow and rash biopsies show no mastocytosis
• sl. ^ urinary prostaglandin D2
• EGD/colonoscopy normal, but biopsies taken anyways — all textbook normal on H&E, but on IHC …
• CD117 staining showed MCAS
• Diagnosis was “atypical mastocytosis” —- Low-dose Imatinib begun, 100mg/d for 1 week then 200mg/d — First week tolerated fine, but no response and then, on waking the morning after the fourth dose of 200mg all symptoms were acutely gone, improvement sustained more than 12 years now, all labs normalized, and resumed exercise and full time work
• Case Study (non-Covid and Long Hauler): woman in her 50s with worsening fatigue and severe anemia — diagnose with idiopathic pure red cell aplasia (PRCA confirmed) — needed 3 units of blood every 2-3 weeks to maintain merely half-normal hemoglobin (Hgb) level
• 5 years later: ROS pan -+, uPGD2 ^^^, diagnosed with MCAS
• Antihistamines: Good Hgb ^ in 4 weeks, no transfusions
• Imatinib 200mg/d added: Hgb normalized in 6 weeks
• “PRCA” relapsed 1 year later — tried cromolyn and in remission again in 4 weeks
• Case Study “Burning Mouth Syndrome” (non-Covid and Long Hauler): woman in her 50s with new constant burning pain throughout GI tract, pain score 10/10 in mouth
• Extensive evaluations only found mild chronic stomach inflammation and finally, a 100 fold elevated chromogranin A (CgA) (wasn’t on PPIs [Proton Pump Inhibitors])
• Top 5 US NE Cancer experts unanimously thought because ^^CgA that must be due to NE Cancer, so keep looking
• 5 years later — revisited old gastric biopsy with CD117 staining, showing ^^MCs (but not in pattern suggestive of mastocytosis) — diagnosed with MCAS
• Antihistamines/NSAIDs caused pain to decrease to 1/10 overnight
• MCAS found in every subsequent “idiopathic” BMS patient Dr. Afrin has examined — different abnormal MC mediator patterns in blood/urine in different patients — ^MCs in GI tract biopsies when checked — All responding to various MC-targeted therapies

It’s been a brief period of time I’ve been on Luvox, as I call it so I don’t butcher the spelling and pronunciation of Fluvoxamine, but the benefits have been profound. A little more than a week is how long I’ve been taking this SSRI drug, but my brain fog, neck, and head pain/discomfort have improved dramatically after months of stagnation. Mood and functionality are also better. The proof is in the pudding as I’m writing this blog post right now after weeks of not being able to use my brain as much as I needed and wanted. Writing a blog post without being on Luvox would be a daunting task!

My dosing went as such: started at 12.5mg and worked up to 100mg in a week, paused it briefly (this is a drug you generally want to taper off is my understanding, just fyi), and am now taking 50mg a day split into two doses, morning and night. The number of things I’ve done that haven’t helped much or at all I can’t count on 20 hands, but Luvox was a game changer quickly (for me and many other Long Haulers, but not everyone). 100mg seems to be the magic dose, but I am going slow with it because of potential side effects such as: lose of appetite, increased anxiety, heart fluttering/uncomfortableness, fatigue, etc. There are also a number of contraindications with Luvox. If you have brain fog, neck pain/stiffness, and brain nerve pain it may be worth it to ask your doctor about the use of this drug. At this juncture, it’s being fairly widely implemented for Long Haulers (and acute patients as well). It’s in favor with some of the top Long Haul Docs as well.

I’d say “I’m Luvin’ It” about Luvox, but I don’t want to get sued by Mickey Ds, so I’ll simply say, so far … I luv it.

Covid Long Hauler Discussion with Dr. Bruce Patterson, Dr. Yo, & Dr. Bream Notes (4.11.21)

All notes below are thoughts expressed during a discussion with Dr. Bruce Patterson. Dr. Yo, and Dr. Bream on 4.11.21. Please consult a physician before acting upon any of the information presented below. Notes may be incomplete.

• IL-6 and IL-8 cause muscle and joint pain 
• Some people 3 months out may have active covid with rna – decreased CD8 
• CD4 low with hiv
• CD8 low with covid — single digits, but should be about 30 
• 25% of Long Haulers still have low CD8%
• 4,500 patients registered at http://www.covidlonghaulers.com and are being tested
• Dr. P has treated 100+ Long Haulers
• Incredible immune response seen in LHers
• Elevated Rantees (71% of time) – can happen in any organ
• Blocking CCR5 important in active covid and for Long Haulers 
• CCR5 also works for another reason (published — ???)
• Rantees is elevated in active COVID and LHers 
• IL-2, IFN-y (anti-viral immune responses) – low in novel Covid (because it’s new to body) 
• LHers – high IL-2 (fatigue, burning, brain fog, almost anything) and IFN-y 
• VEGF (fatigue) – most important brain fog marker
• 79% of LHers have elevated VEGF – possibly due to vasculitis, micro clots, damage to endothelium  
• Ivermectin and steroids for IL-2 and VEGF 
• 9One subject was 95% better with Maraviroc (went from a LHI of 11.4 to 1.3)
• 50% better with Ivermectin and same with Steroids 
• 50/50 for Maraviroc as well 
• Fluvox may help with brain fog and help with blood clots 
• Covid protein found in LHers in a cell type that migrated from the brain to different parts of the body —- easily passes BBB
• This cell type is mobilized by exercise (possibly why people feel worse after exercise, Dr. P has seen this happen time and time again with Long Haulers)  
• This cell type expresses CCR5
• Could inhibit these cells with LL or Maraviroc 
• $360 for blood panel Dr. P offers at his website above – could be reimbursed by insurance  
• 14 markers tested, plus severity score, LHI, and put in algorithm 
• Rantees attracts macrophages and T cells (like a bee to honey)
• CCR5 regulated by cytokines 
• CCR5 expression on immune cells going crazy because of cytokines 
• Women have better immune systems than men, higher auto-immune rates
• Dr Yo loves Dr. P 
• All advocacy groups led by women (Not mine Dr. P)
