We should see drug trial results BEFORE approval!!!

The photo shows that just because something is a trend doesn’t make it a good idea. (More about that below.)

This blog is built mostly of highlights lifted from an independent newspaper’s analysis (compiled by Dr. Joseph Mercola). The article summarizes a batch of 11,000 Pfizer vaccine trial documents, which was released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on April 1, 2022. [Note–as usual, text formatted like this in italics with square brackets, is my notes or opinions and not quotations from the source. For example—unfortunately, that batch of documents was not an elaborate and scary April Fools’ prank as you may think after reading below. Recall that a few weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration and the covid-19 vaccine developer, Pfizer, pushed hard in court to delay the release of that testing data for 75 years! Now, we might speculate that their goal was for anyone involved to have retired by then, have died or at least grown too old to be jailed.]

The trial data reveal [it may sound like it should say “reveals”, but remember, “data” is plural]:

  • Natural immunity was statistically identical to the shot in terms of the risk of infection!
  • The risk of vaccine side effects increased with additional doses—i.e. higher after the second dose than the first.
  • Shot side effects were more severe in younger people, aged 18 to 55, than those aged 55 and older.
  • Since the risk of suffering severe COVID itself is dramatically lower in younger people than those over 60, simple logic tells us that accepting an elevated risk of side effects is not smart.
  • Pfizer’s documentation includes medical information that mainstream media and “fact checkers” have labeled as “misinformation” or “disinformation”. For example, a pediatric consent form lists several possible side effects, including myocarditis [heart inflammation] at a rate of 10 in 100,000—that is far greater than the widely publicized 1 in 50,000. [By my amateur calculations, that makes it 500% higher!]
  • Pfizer knew that people of all ages experienced a temporary weakening of the immune system in the first week after the first shot.
  • [Now, see through this smoke and mirrors…] The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that it takes about two weeks for the vaccine protection to kick in and therefore they record everyone as “unvaccinated” for the first two weeks after the vaccine shot. So, follow the perverted reasoning here…if (1) people are more susceptible to infection during that first week and (2) yet are still counted as unvaccinated during that time, the calculation makes it appear as though the “unvaccinated” are more prone to infection when that’s simply not true. Pfizer’s own trial showed infection was significantly more common in the vaccine group than the placebo group — 409 versus 287 — within the first seven days of the jab. [Have you ever heard any of this on the evening news?]
  • Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is a situation in which you end up being more susceptible to serious effects of infection than you would have been without the vaccine. One aspect is that the immune system generates the dreaded “cytokine storm” which causes dangerous inflammation and worsens the disease. Many brave individuals who warned about the possibility that the mRNA covid shots may be causing ADE have been smeared and demonized by media and labeled as disinformation spreaders. However, Pfizer’s documents show that ADE may be a concern as well as vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) which is similar. During the preapproval study, Pfizer had 138 cases of suspected VAED, 75 of which were severe, resulting in hospitalization, disability, life-threatening consequences or death; a total of 38 cases turned out to be lethal and 65 remained unresolved.
  • Another revealing article by Dr. Mercola is entitled COVID Vaccines Aren’t Working — And No Amount of Boosting Will Change That. This is a quote from that: “We’ve gone from “two mRNA jabs will ensure you won’t carry the virus or get sick or die of COVID” to “you need a booster every four months and you can still contract, transmit, get sick and die of COVID.” At this rate, we’re looking at three injections per year, and the fully-jabbed and boosted are still getting sick with COVID.”

BOTTOM LINE. Oopsy. Phase 3 drug clinical trials are designed to prove effectiveness and uncover frequent or severe side effects before a vaccine is approved for use and would explore ADE and VAED issues. But none of the COVID-19 vaccines have completed Phase 3 trials. Pfizer’s Phase 3 trial is due to be completed February 8, 2024 — nearly two years from now! Casting further doubt were the complaints filed by a researcher / whistleblower about inappropriate and unscientific practices at a contract facility during the Pfizer phase 3 trial. (Sadly, and all too typically, the whistleblower was immediately fired.)

  • Then there is this—United Kingdom government weekly data was analyzed in an article showing that those who have received two doses compared to the unvaccinated are:
    • Up to three times more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19
    • Twice more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19
    • Three times more likely to die of COVID-19
    • (The ratios were somewhat better with 3 doses.)

My closing thought: “Follow the science” is good advice, but which science? As more preapproval trial data is released and more high-quality studies are completed in Israel, the UK and around the world, we must keep an open mind to contrary views and not just automatically swallow everything we hear from US government agencies. They seem way too comfortable ignoring trial data and even repeatedly going against the advice of their scientific advisory committees. Time may reveal what the hidden agenda was, but meanwhile, I’m not willing to risk my long-term health just to pacify those who want to force the media-promoted authoritarian narrative on us—no matter how loud they get. And, as the picture at the top tells us, having a lot of people doing the same thing, following too closely, doesn’t make it right.

What to do? If you have had the vaccines or the disease you probably want to know what you can do. Next week I will dig into that topic.

PART 2- Sherry Rogers, MD – Pearls of wisdom

The following is the second part of a review of some main points from Dr. Rogers’ recent interview. I’m afraid that even broken into two parts, this is still a lot. And, if you are new to HBN, know that it is not typical of the user-friendly level that we aim for. Please note that text like this [in these brackets and italics] is a comment from me, not Dr. Rogers.

  • The US spends by far more money on “healthcare” than any other country in the world, and yet shockingly, we are 42nd down the list of countries with the best measures of health.
  • The covid-19 virus enters the body’s cells through “gateways” called ACE2 receptors. Therefore, people at the most at risk for covid are people with lots of those ACE2 receptors. Those would be people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Even if you do not have high blood pressure, Dr. Rogers recommends reading her book The High Blood Pressure HOAX because it explains basic health problems and solutions. One hint: vitamin D3 in high doses (10,000 IU per day) closes those gateways. That is a dose not just for these trying times, but a healthy forever. She says to have your blood levels checked to make sure you are getting the job done. Dr. Rogers believes that good test results will be in the 80-105 range, not the silly 30 which may be noted on the form as ”normal”. [Other of our HBN experts agree with her.]
  • There are only two causes of all diseases (yes, all—from arthritis to MS and heart disease or cancer to depression and thyroid disfunction!) The nutrient levels go down and 2. The toxicity levels go up. Mainstream medicine does not try to sort that out and cure the problem. Instead, the system is based on using pharmaceuticals to just quiet the symptoms and manage the decline.
  • To restore health balance, you must know what is going on. That means you must assay the status of your 34 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones, gut, etc. Those factors are revealed in the 11-page report that Dr. Rogers calls the “Crystal Ball Test”. (It is also referred to as the “Cardio Ion” blood test.) She analyzes these reports from telemedicine patients all over the world and finds that their cell membranes are starving for the right fatty acids to make them work correctly…e.g. cod liver oil, phosphatidylcholine and the 8 forms of vitamin E. If the cell membranes aren’t in good shape, the vitamin D receptors won’t work…and then vitamin D can’t close the ACE2 receptors keeping the virus out of the cell. Instructions for ordering your own test and details for supplementation are in her 2021 and 2022 Total Wellness [Details for ordering that are below.]
  • The prestigious Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry has stated that Americans have changed their chemical makeup more than 20-fold in recent years because of changes in diet…e.g. the FDA/USDA for too long allowed trans fats, mercury-laden high fructose corn syrup, and GMO crops. [For one thing, we are getting too much of the pro-inflammatory omega-6 in sunflower, safflower, soy, sesame, and corn oils and not enough of the anti-inflammatory omega-3 found in fish, flax and cold weather plants.]
  • One reason doctors don’t dig into these balance factors [besides the fact that they are not taught how to and insurance does not pay them for that time] is that so many are specialists who look at just one organ or system when, in fact they all work together. E.g. a cardiologist won’t look at gut function which is important to heart health.
  • Rogers is not connected with the company, but recommends Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics because it is the only one that contains hundreds of postbiotics which are the metabolites the bacteria have made from the natural foods that they have been fermenting for 3 years or more. Those postbiotics rev up the immune system and get rid of many viruses that may be hanging out in the gut for a long time. (The CDC is analyzing sewage to determine covid status.)
  • A new covid variant is spreading. (It is a sub variant of the Omicron BA.2) Dr. Rogers advises masks when you go to the grocery store. When you get home, to get rid of the virus in the nose before it sets up shop, use two squirts of Argentyn 23 silver. [Or per Peter McCullough, MD, diluted iodine solution or per Tom Levy, MD, nebulized hydrogen peroxide. Both approaches are discussed on this page in our library]. Dr. Rogers discusses Boluoke (fibrolytic enzyme) and other measures in the 2021 newsletters.
  • Insulin resistance is an early warning that diabetes may be looming. A measure of insulin resistance is to do a little math with your blood test numbers. Simply divide the triglyceride number by the HDL level. You want the answer to be lower than 1.5. If it is higher, you are flirting with not only diabetes, but other degenerative diseases and dementia. I’ll bet you can learn what to do about it in her book
  • Covid makes “nonspecific proteins or NSP’s” which confuse the immune system, boost virus replication and stimulate the inflammation storm that is responsible for the worst covid damage. Dr. Rogers recommends turning that process down with grape seed extract and 4.6 mg of lithium orotate.
  • Rogers noted that when people start doing the things she recommends for any one issue, their other health challenges improve. So, as they get better, it is important to make sure that routine medication levels don’t need to be reduced or even eliminated.
  • Prozac damages the brain. Note that most of the “happy hormone” serotonin is made in the intestinal tract.

Pearls of wisdom from Sherry Rogers, MD – PART 1

If, when listening to the current Dr. Rogers interview, you were reminded of those classic dreams where we showed up at school and hadn’t studied for the test…don’t feel bad. Most of us felt that way. For listeners who have been getting the information in bite-size pieces from Dr. Rogers’ newsletter, it would have been easier to keep up. The following is a review of some main points from the interview. Here and there is a translation or my comment [in these brackets and italics].

  • Why she is on a different path. Dr. Rogers discovered early in her career that what she had learned in medical school (drugs, devices, and surgery) could not solve the 24 supposedly “incurable” conditions she was suffering. She cured herself with alternatives, but in mainstream medicine, those conditions are still considered incurable.
  • How drugs work. Rogers used high blood pressure as an example of how a standard pharmaceutical approach can be short sighted. The drugs typically used have side effects because the mode of action is to help one biochemical pathway by poisoning others, e.g. diuretics for blood pressure damage kidneys; betablockers poison cell membranes and calcium channel blockers [affect heart rhythm…happily, magnesium is nature’s calcium channel blocker and offers fringe benefits].
  • Pfizer documented 2,500 deaths during the testing of its covid vaccine. Historically, other vaccines that caused only 25 deaths were canceled and not approved. Dr. Rogers noted that there are a great many side effects; the vaccines are not very effective and that natural immunity (from having had covid) is 27 times more powerful.
  • One type of drug for covid—any covid drugs with names ending in “mab” means they are monoclonal antibodies. Because the antibodies created by the immune system to fight the disease disappear quickly from the body, these drugs are created by bonding the antigen [specific immune targeting material] to immortal cells [ones that never die], i.e. myeloma cancer cells.
  • Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir tablets; ritonavir tablets) is another combination covid drug. One part is a chemical to keep the virus from replicating [oops, the mineral zinc safely does that]. However, to make it stay in the body longer, that chemical is bonded to another that poisons the liver keeping it from detoxifying the medicine. [That is the “vir” part I think and that makes me wonder about Remdesivir that early treatment which does elevate liver enzymes.] Unfortunately, that action also stops detoxification of anything else that the liver would normally protect us from. Understandably, with the liver function reduced, other medications that the person is taking may accumulate to dangerous levels. An example would be the risk of a hypoglycemic [low blood sugar] attack because diabetes medication had built up. Another example = the patient might fall down because their blood pressure medicine didn’t degrade as usual.
  • New variant. The day we recorded the show, 4/6/22, India announced another new type of covid omicron variant called XE. Dr. Rogers says that the virus was “designed” to stick around forever, mutating, and to target people with the most ACE-2 receptors on their cells. [“ACE-2 receptors” are the doorways the virus uses to enter the cells.]
  • Are WE the targets? The many medications that Americans take [and the high rate of obesity] make us more susceptible to covid-19. Exploiting that vulnerability may have been the plan all along. [Some observers, like the late Bill Sardi, use the term, “weaponized” to describe the development of this unique corona virus.]

Oh my, this blog has already gotten a bit long, and this seems like a good place to stop for now. Next week’s blog will pick up where Dr. Rogers gives us details about these ACE-2 doorways and what to do about the problem. And then we will get into the explanation of the only two simple reasons for disease.

Questions Answered by the Practitioner Panel

Our Practitioner Panel on the show last week did not get to all the questions and we later came up with additional information on one we did discuss:

  • A senior caller is bothered by splitting fingertips. Thoughts:
    • Make sure you aren’t using harsh soaps, alcohol hand sanitizers, or other drying products that are causing the problem. If you must use hand sanitizer, follow quickly with moisturizer. [CeraVe is an effective brand.] If your occupation is the culprit (e.g. painter) consider gloves.
    • Check with your doctor to make sure it isn’t a sign of something more generalized such as eczema or psoriasis. ( Note: Those are autoimmune conditions that are often related to gut health. You wouldn’t automatically think that a probiotic would help your fingers, but it might.) Diabetes and fungal infections can also be associated with dry fingertips.
    • Show guest Lynn Morales, ND shared this natural recipe for fingertips: 1 egg yok, 1 tsp Manuka honey, 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil [hmm don’t eat it but it sounds good]. Whisk together and place on hands for 20 minutes before sleep. Then wash hands before bed.
    • We mentioned making sure your body is hydrated from the inside. (Lots of benefits elsewhere in the body even if it doesn’t solve the finger problem.)
    • For a temporary treatment, there are several brands of liquid bandage and even some are labeled for care of skin cracking. According to People’s Pharmacy contributors, a drop or two of instant glue (e.g. super glue) takes the pain away within minutes. And it stays on long enough for the split to heal itself, in most cases. The same active chemicals are found in liquid bandage, but glue costs much less and lasts longer. It keeps the wound sealed and clean too.
  • A listener asked about different types of magnesium and iodine.
    • The mineral magnesium is critically important for hundreds of functions in the body—for example, keeping the heart beating properly, the bones dense and the nervous system calm. Read about many more important ways it helps us. Many inexpensive supplements contain magnesium oxide. That is not very well absorbed and therefore is less likely to get to our cells. That type does draw moisture into the intestines and so is similar to Milk of Magnesia which is used as a laxative. Magnesium citrate is not costly and is better utilized than oxide. Nutritionists often have their favorite type, e.g. magnesium malate, magnesium glycinate, or magnesium taurate. Magnesium threonate crosses the blood brain barrier so it can be a good choice for sleep or anxiety. This article reviews 10 types and their uses.
    • Iodine is a crucial nutrient for the thyroid gland which is much more important than most people know. Peter McCullough, MD has raised interest in iodine as an antiseptic to get covid virus out of the nasal passages, mouth and throat as soon as possible after exposure. For that purpose, he says to dilute 2 tsp of betadine iodine cleanser in 6 ounces water. Circulate that in the nose using something like a netti pot. Also, swish and gargle but spit it out.) National Institutes of Health Nutrient iodine fact sheet.
  • A caller asked why resveratrol was useful after the covid ”vaccine” shot. There are many reasons resveratrol (the red wine molecule) is helpful in the prevention and early treatment of the corona virus. However, Dr. McCullough alerted us to the serious concern science is discovering that the supposedly temporary mRna vaccines may also change the permanent genetic code, our DNA. Resveratrol blocks that process. Read more.
  • One caller asked for advice on how to get into the nutritional field. Well, there are probably as many paths as there are nutritionists. Many, like me got interested out of personal need and, after learning a lot in a job (mine in a health food store), decided to make it formal with certification (in my case the IAACN). Many nutritionists start out at college studying to be a dietitian and expand their horizons with the IAACN. Consider doing an internet search for “distance learning nutrition degree”. Lots of options.

Gizmos for happier / healthier seniors

I thought that this linked article was interesting.  It discusses medical alerts, fitness trackers, and smart home devices such as thermostats and security. Although the author frames the discussion around senior needs, the information is likely useful to others—certainly to someone with an aging parent, but really to anyone.

Computer? I am often frustrated and distressed when I talk with seniors who do not have internet access. (Oh my, how can they watch cat videos or go to Facebook to see what the family is up to?)  Some seem to take pride in “being old school” and rejecting technology. Some of that is smart. (Do we really need our refrigerator to make our grocery list? And, sometimes I want to dropkick mine because I’ve taken on too much.) On the other hand those folks are missing out on things that would bring them connection, joy, money savings, and even improve their health. That is the topic of this week’s blog. If you are reading this newsletter, you are probably not tech-adverse, but I’ll bet you know someone who would benefit from this information.

Seriously, the internet is such a great way to keep from being isolated and there is so much useful information available—for example in the HBN library (at HBNshow.com) and our newsletter. Some of this can be done on a tablet, or even a smart phone, but the images are small and grandma would probably still need help with them and arranging for and setting up Wi-Fi. Even if a family member prints out the newsletter for an elderly friend or relative, they usually contain internet links to more information.

We gave my mom a computer when she was 80 years old and she learned enough to get a lot of benefit. However, she did get frustrated with the whole windows concept. My brother Jim and I got calls occasionally that “the computer just up and did so and so”. [We knew that she had inadvertently done it herself, but we were patient because she was trying so hard.] Mom ended up using WebTV for email but it wasn’t the greatest. Some folks go to the library and use their computers, but that is a hassle.

I sure wish I had known then what I know now about a computer designed specifically for seniors (or any age person with no tech familiarity). I’ve seen ads for the brand WOW computers and decided to investigate them. This linked website contains a very useful 3rd party independent video of a review with explanations, pros and cons. It is reassuring that the WOW computer cannot download malware and there is a nifty utility that allows a trusted contact to access the computer and address any questions or problems. There are various price options available and I would have been excited to get my brothers to go in with me to buy the best one for Mom.

Follow-up cardio notes from our visit with Jim LaValle

When clinical pharmacist, board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist and prolific author Jim LaValle was on the show last week we hoped to spend more time on cardiovascular health and how it relates to immune function. Between discussing immune health and taking listener calls, we didn’t get to these notes and I thought they were worthwhile.

  1. A) Cholesterol. Evidence suggests that cholesterol crystals can build up along the inner walls of arteries and trigger the release of immune molecules called NLRP3 inflammasomes. These molecules can cause inflammation and promote blood vessel injury, leading to certain cardiac events like a stroke or heart attack. Immune cells have receptors that serve as sentry guards. They can sense the presence of harmful molecules like foreign proteins, cell debris, damaged DNA, or cholesterol crystals, and then send out cellular “soldiers” called cytokines to remove the threat. The problem is, abnormally elevated cytokine levels have been linked with coronary artery disease.2Studies suggest that high cytokine levels can overstimulate the immune system, causing inflammation in the inner layer of the blood vessel wall. Lowering cytokine levels with medication or by adopting healthy lifestyle changes may help reduce the risk of unhealthy heart events.
  2. B) Circulation also plays a role in a healthy immune system via the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of tissues and organs that extend throughout the body and help eliminate waste and unwanted materials through a fluid called lymph. Lymph contains white blood cells which are crucial to fighting infection. If bacteria are detected in the lymph, your lymph nodes produce more white blood cells to deal with the invaders. Lymph moves through the body via contractions in the lymph vessels, but it is also aided by general movement like breathing in and out, and by the pressure created by pulsating arteries. If circulation is reduced in any way, it may lead to poor lymphatic drainage. This, in turn, reduces the flow of infection-fighting white blood cells, which can lead to an increased risk of infection.
  3. C) Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure can also impact your immune health. High blood pressure, technically known as hypertension, is present in more than one billion adults worldwide. While many lifestyle factors contribute to hypertension, the immune system also plays a role. Traditionally, hypertension has been linked to reduced blood flow to the body’s organs and tissues as well as an uptick in inflammation. But some recent evidence suggests that inflammation can also contribute to the development of high blood pressure.

Jim’s lifestyle recommendations for cardio health: Daily exercise, getting seven to nine hours of sleep, eating the recommended daily servings of fruits/veggies/whole grains, etc. And taking the “Rock Star” nutrient Aged Garlic Extract (AGE). On a chemical level, the aging process transforms the unstable, oil-based, odor-causing compounds contained in fresh garlic into stable, water-based, and odor-free ones. In hundreds of studies, these new compounds in AGE have been shown to provide a range of benefits for cardiovascular and immune health.

We lost Bill Sardi ! ! !

Hello Bill Sardi fans, Martie Whittekin here. I’m devastated to report that my friend, mentor, and hero, the brilliant, dedicated and extremely generous, Bill Sardi, recently passed away. The Leading natural products industry magazine honors Bill Sardi.

If you are like me, you probably assumed he was indestructible. Well, he almost was. His brother, actually a twin brother, kindly kept me in the loop while he was being treated. Excepts from his summary of events are below for those who want details.

Bill was a dedicated Christian, so I know he is at peace. Please know that Bill’s passing in no way contradicts anything that he taught us and in many ways confirmed his opinions. (I always thought if he died before age 120, it would be from a big pharma contract hit!) Theories abound about what happened…they include suspicion of poisoning and the possibility that he developed a clot during a long trip and that clot ended up in the lungs. Emotions dramatically affect physical health and I am positive that a major factor was the extraordinary stress Bill was under for years due to family and business issues.

Note: we will continue to support Bill Sardi’s legacy and our education with periodic replays of his interviews. I will try to fill the void he left with other great guests, but wish me luck, because I honestly don’t know anyone else who can so brilliantly dig into the science and connect the dots to come up with innovative solutions quite so creatively as he did. We expect that his wonderful companies will be continued.

What Killed My Twin Brother, Bill Sardi? – (DOD February 14, 2022)

Wayne Sardi

March 7, 2022

My twin brother, nationally known health researcher and journalist Bill Sardi, died of a mysterious medical condition on February 14 in a local hospital.  Bill was a national figure on the LewRockwell.com website and the lead personality in the famous Covidland video documentary. He was also known as the monthly “vitamin guy” on Martie Whittekin’s ‘Health By Nature’ national radio broadcast originating in Dallas, Texas. Bill was a long-time opponent of vaccines

Ironically, on January 21 he entered a local hospital with symptoms superficially understood as pneumonia and hypoxia [low oxygen], so often associated with coronavirus 19.

But Bill’s listeners, readers and even his opponents, want to know, was it coronavirus?  [after 4 negative tests, the likely answer is “no”]

Back on January 12 before entering the hospital Bill texted, he was:

“terribly ill, on oxygen-assisted breathing, taking Z-Pack antibiotics, prednisone, budesonide for nebulization and anti-inflammatories”.  He added: “I am under good care (at home) – Dr. XY via Zoom. My 02 levels are low, however.  I may get MAB (monoclonal antibody mAB) today. That is not my problem. Lungs are difficult to expand. My (designated Power of Attorney) does all my thinking for me now as I can’t think well with low O2 levels”.  Note: Bill’s prior request for monoclonal antibodies was rejected at that time.

He was also given high dose intravenous Vitamin C, glutathione, vitamin B-1.  On January 16, Bill texted:

“I did not test positive for C-19 twice.  I do not have pneumonia. I have shallow breathing – O2 is 77-88. I drank coffee this am – was helpful. I take hydrogen water, hydroxytyrosol and zinc, Ivermectin, MAF (macrophage activating factor). Nothing helping except coffee and cream of rice cereal”.  Note: coffee reduces tightness in a person’s airway.

His excluded supporters – his church (Robert Schuller Ministries, Newport Beach), Front Line Doctors, his team of medical advisers, legal advocates and myself – were left virtually powerless by the dictates of the hospital, the lockstep Fauci protocol of isolation and Remdesivir [it is hard on the kidneys], and the legal process of delegated medical power of attorney (POA).

Anti-Fauci protocol advocate groups allege that hospitals are killing coronavirus patients by weaning them off oxygen and ventilation too fast.  Conversely, when hospitals put patients on 100% oxygen it ruins their lungs permanently. 

Unbeknown to our team of outsider supporters one of Bill’s business partners was concurrently trying to get him transferred to Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles. Unlike the Fauci-protocol hospital Bill was in, Barlow measures how many patients it can wean off ventilation and oxygenization and return to normal lung function; not how many patients it can collect bonus Medicare funding authorized under the $2 trillion CARES Act.  Simultaneously I was redundantly lining up a long-term care facility for Bill to get transferred to. 

Nonetheless, Bill started recovering after a week in the hospital when his supporters demanded that his ventilator, oxygen and addictive sedation (phentanyl) be reduced.  It was reported that Bill came out of his drug-induced sleep and was able to communicate by nodding his head and signaling with his arms.    He was reported to be agitated and resisting his intubation that left him unable to talk. He was thus given more sedation. In other words, Bill was very aware of the plight he was in and that he had been ventilated against his specific directives.  Every one of his business associates and close friends told me that Bill would never have voluntary assented to ventilation, intubation or Remdesivir (or vaccination).

But soon it was reported that Bill had a possibly iatrogenic (doctor created) symptom – fever from an infection from inside the hospital.  He was put back on full ventilation, oxygen and sedation.  However, as the fever subsided Bill was soon found to be now suffering from kidney failure. [ Remember, Remdesivir is hard on the kidneys], His Blood-Urea-Nitrogen (BUN level) was in the dangerous 130 range (normal is 7 to 21).  We demanded through the POA designate to do a sonogram of his legs to determine if he had clotting there.  If no clots, vascular pneumatic compression devices could be put on Bill’s legs to reduce his edema, improve circulation and lung function. Moreover, the adrenal glands on the kidneys produce hormones to keep the heart pumping (epinephrine is a hormonal neurotransmitter).  But the sonogram and compression devices never happened in part because a sonogram was not done to first determine if he had clots in his lower extremities. Curiously, apparently Bill never received an EKG. Bill was on blood thinners and anticoagulants.

By a near-act-of-God, at this time Bill’s church had discovered that a monoclonal antibody treatment called Leronimab (Cytodyn Inc.) was able to save former President of the Philippines, Joseph Estrada, and others who reportedly had terminal coronavirus.  A close associate of Bill’s had identical symptoms of clotting and impaired breathing at the same time and was cured by monoclonal antibodies.  There is also a doctor in Southern California who is saving hundreds of terminally ill patients with similar symptoms by administering Leronimab, a late-stage monoclonal antibody so far known to have no negative side effects.

One of Bill’s medical advisers had previously tried to get him an unapproved, trial version of a monoclonal antibody directly from the manufacturer but were rejected. Later, the request was reconsidered but Bill was hospitalized by then. The political prohibition against any alternative treatment to vaccines by the Biden administration and the CDC formed the backdrop to the initial rejection of Leronimab. 

On February 11, I immediately wrote a Right to Try (RtT) letter to the hospital to administer Leronimab to a terminal patient.  In 2018, former Pres. Trump had passed Right to Try legislation (RtoT) to aid terminal patients to get promising but unapproved drugs.  What monoclonal antibodies do is bind to blood clots and are an “ideal antifirbrin antibody” (82% efficacy) to allow the lung to resume expanding and flexing. The hospital got the RtoT letter in the morning and were given 8 hours to approve by 4 pm. If there was no hospital approval, an Ex Parte (single party) action would be filed in court the next morning to obtain court approval for its administration under the RtoT Act. In other words, the hospital would be forced by a judge to administer it, but Bill died coincidentally at the deadline given to the hospital. He died of a cardiac arrest after being unsuccessfully paddled by defibrillators three times.

Back on January 8 Bill attended his church in Newport Beach and they noted that his signature on a check he wrote was nearly illegible.  Was this a sign of an ischemic heart attack (mini-stroke) at that time?  Also, those close to him noticed he started to have hand tremors.

I may be wrong, but I believe pulmonary embolism caused Bill’s death. Pulmonary embolism is caused by a blocked artery in the lungs. The most common cause of such a blockage is a clot that forms in the legs and travels to the lungs. Bill had previously suffered an arterial blockage in his heart in 2018 with stents placed. Death by heart attack or stroke runs on the male side of our family history. Pulmonary embolism is a most serious condition that is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia.  It is a heart attack to the lung.  Bill had massive blood clotting with an “unheard of” d-dimer test level of 22,000 (normal is 220 to 500). 

What are the implications of Bill’s likely disease and treatment?

  1. Bill did not have coronavirus, as he did not generate antibodies against a harmful virus or pathogen proven by his many negative PCR tests.
  2. Thus, taking an anti-virus shot or RNA injection to trigger immune response would not have helped or addressed the arterial blockage in the lung and massive clotting.
  3. If Bill was administered Remdesivir, a drug with a two-fold risk of adverse cardiac events compared to hydroxychloroquine (HDC), that could have provoked a cardiovascular attack.
  4. Timely administration of Leronimab monoclonal antibody could have saved Bill’s life but that also is not a 100 percent certainty (82% effective).
  5. The Biden Administration’s and CDC’s efforts to block any medical, pharmaceutical or nutriceutical “work around” vaccines denied Bill timely access to monoclonal antibody treatment that might have saved him.
  6. Leronimab can only be administered in a hospital where there are medicines to counter any adverse reactions. Moving Bill would likely have precluded him from Leronimab.
  7. Viruses are signals of the need to flush out toxins or poisons from the human body (Thomas Cowan, MD, The Truth About Contagion and Amanda Vollmer).
  8. Bill apparently did not recognize he had an arterial blockage in his lungs and did not seek treatment by his cardiologist. Everyone was caught under the spell of what has been called “virus mania”.

The above is a preliminary opinion subject to change when there is better information and the availability of medical records for review.

A memorial for Bill was held at the Robert Schuller’s Ministries church in Newport Beach on March 20. [Martie was asked to speak and did]

Are stem cells magically a fix for EVERYTHING?

Darcy Brunk, DC joined me in the studio Saturday for the radio show. We talked about the miraculous gift from God of stem cells. We ran out of time before getting to a topic I wanted to cover—stem cells are not too good to be true because there are things they cannot do for wellness. Here are some examples:

  1. When your thumb hurts because you keep hitting it with a hammer. This is in the category of if you are in a hole, stop digging! Stem cells will reduce the inflammation and promote healing. Because they also help circulation and cross the blood brain barrier, they might help your brain work better so that you can figure out to use pliers to hold the nails while you get better at swinging the hammer.
  2. Smoking. I don’t need to tell anyone that smoking contributes to all the major disease causes of premature death. Although stem cell therapy would offset some of the damage of the cigarette toxins and most likely improve the body’s ability to detoxify, this is kind of like #1, hitting your thumb with a hammer. Just stop! (Let the stem cells work on degeneration caused by normal aging instead of self-induced damage.)
  3. You suffer a severe broken bone. When someone breaks their leg and the bone is sticking out, by all means, they should have a surgeon put it back in place. Of course, then stem cells will greatly reduce pain, speed healing and mending of the break.
  4. You twist your back golfing or from falling. When joints or vertebrae are out of place, it is smart to have a chiropractor (or Osteopath) put things back in order. You don’t want the dislocation to become the new normal. Stem cells help heal the damaged soft tissue in the area and help the adjustment last. However, we have heard from people like Joe who was on the show Saturday, who have received stem cell therapy and as the soft tissues got stronger, they pulled the bones back in place. Anyway, I still say to put the structure right as soon as you can, so the imbalance doesn’t cause other problems such as interference with the nerves supply to organs.
  5. Bad posture. Sitting on the wallet in your pants pocket, poor ergonomics at your desk or just slouching as examples can gradually create a misalignment of the spine or joints. You can follow steps in number 4 above, but better yet, prevent the problem by correcting posture. Physical therapy may be helpful for established problems. Again, stem cell therapy can assist by reducing pain and helping to heal damage that may have been done.
  6. Lack of exercise. We all know that exercise offers great benefits to health. Stem cells are best used not as a substitute for exercise, but to help you feel good enough to get busy!
  7. Malnutrition. We are what we eat. Stem cells cannot make magnesium or zinc appear out of nothing. However, they can improve digestion and assimilation so that you better utilize the nutrients. Do give them some good stuff to work with.
  8. Over-eating sugar and processed carbs. Doing that leads to insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Often, eating those comfort foods is a reaction to pain, and stem cells can certainly help with most sources of pain.
  9. Flirting with viruses. It probably doesn’t make sense to push your luck going into crowded poorly ventilated places with people you don’t know—even if what is going around is just the flu. Also, we now know that being fat and diabetic increases your risk of contacting a virus and of having a harder time with it. If a person tests positive, the smart thing to do is to follow all the guidance, natural and pharmaceutical in the covid section of the HBN library. Know that stem cells help the immune system work smarter. That means, if immune function is sluggish, it will perk up. However, “smarter” also means the system can avoid the overreaction that creates serious trouble. The best time to seek stem cell therapy is before your immune system is challenged. But any time is good.
  10. Medication side effects. Stem cell therapy may help with drug side effects, but the better approach is to use stem cell therapy to stay so well that you don’t even need medication.

So, stem cell therapy is not too good to be true. It works on inflammation, degeneration, and immune regulation which are behind most health problems. It is extremely powerful and versatile, but it doesn’t make sense to create extra work for them. (Infiniti Matrix is the type I believe in and use. 800-507-6509 for free consultation.)

Is SIBO the problem?

When Dr. Ross Pelton was on the radio show February 12th, a listener’s call came in too late to answer on air. However, Dr. Pelton kindly answered it by email. His discussion of the topic, SIBO, is worthy of the blog below because many readers may have the symptoms and no idea the source. As usual, [italic text in square brackets are my additions.]

by Ross Pelton, R.Ph., Ph.D., CCN & Microbiome Scientist

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. It is a unique condition where bacteria that normally reside in the colon have migrated back up into the distal (far-end) of the small intestine. Hence, SIBO is not necessarily caused by “bad” bacteria…..it is often normal colonic probiotic bacteria that have relocated into the wrong “neighborhood.”  When carbohydrates that have been ingested reach the lower end of the small intestine, these bacteria ferment the carbs, producing gas and perhaps causing a wide range of symptoms such as bloating, pain, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

SIBO is most commonly diagnosed by a breath test that measures the amount of hydrogen or methane that is exhaled in the breath.

Two dietary treatment programs are sometimes successful: The FODMAT diet and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. [Follow links for details.] These diets instruct people to avoid the types of foods that contain the types of carbohydrates that the displaced bacteria like to ferment. [I think that these diets, especially the Specific Carbohydrate Diet would probably make a lot of people feel better who don’t even have SIBO because they would improve their insulin management.] However, people often must resort to taking a course of an antibiotic named rifaximin.

The cause of SIBO is somewhat controversial. Possible contributing factors are dehydration, sedentary lifestyle and processed food and a lack of dietary fiber.

I encourage people who suspect they may have SIBO to seek advice from a Functional Medicine physician or a naturopath.

[I’d be glad to hear any reader experience, but it is my opinion that Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics would not be a concern and in fact could be very useful because so much of its power comes from its postbiotics—those are the beneficial substances that have been made by the good bacteria. I checked with Dr. Pelton, and he agrees.]

Boy, this was a pain in the back side

Although, as a “teachable moment”, I’m going to write about my own personal experience with back pain, let me first admit that the photo above is not of me (much too skinny!). I borrowed the picture from the website of an Orthopedic and Sports Medicine website which has a lot of good information about the causes and treatment of back pain. For example, it lists 8 risk factors for back pain. At least two of those applied to my problem—age and mental illness. I’m old and I think I must have been crazy to do what caused my pain. (The list didn’t include “stupid”, or I would have selected that.)

My brother, Jim Russell, who works at Home Depot, says that the company cautions employees to not only lift with their legs, but also to hold the weight close to the body for better structural support. That is great advice that I failed to follow back in December. I lifted something very heavy by leaning over because it was awkwardly out in front of me. I was rudely reminded of my mistake when I heard a couple of loud pops and felt a stabbing pain in my low back. (What I screamed cannot be repeated in this family friendly blog.)

Somehow, I slowly crab-walked into the den and got onto the floor. It often helps minor back discomfort to lie on my back on the floor with my feet on a chair (legs vertical and bent at right angles-everything squared up). So, I tried that. But no such luck. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and made an appointment with my chiropractor for an hour later. Then I realized I had another problem. There was no way I could not get off the floor and into the car! Fortunately, sweetheart husband, Bill, agreed to cut short his errands and come home to help.

Even with help, it was quite a chore to get into the car. Every bump in the road was torture. Dr. Shepherd had to use all his tricks and hydraulics got me onto the table. I have repressed most of the memory of that first adjustment. But, I do remember the good news that I had not broken anything. His work and pain cream helped a lot, but it was still very tough going for a while.

For example, never take it for granted when you can just hop into the car or for that matter even get in and out of bed or roll over without assistance. Things I found that helped:

  • I was overdue for a routine chiropractic tune-up. That my hips were a bit out of place likely made me more susceptible to injury.
  • Ice packs for the first 48 hours. Heat felt more comforting and improves circulation but is not recommended until after 48 hours because ice reduces swelling and inflammation. After that, rotating heat and ice is good. This Microwavable Heat Wrap* is versatile, stays in place with Velcro and is good to have on hand for other body parts as well.
  • Drinking sufficient water after an adjustment or massage.
  • The homeopathic Arnica Montana. (Had I used that immediately, I would have had less damage.)
  • Slippery pajamas so that I could slide into the bed and roll over. (My warm winter pj’s were impossible.)
  • Not making sudden moves (because when muscles didn’t work as usual, I’d lose my balance).
  • Learning how to stand up (e.g. from the potty or couch). What worked was rocking far forward until my weight was over my feet and then using my hands to walk up my thighs and slowly unwind the spine.
  • Because I really just could not function, I temporarily resorted to pharmaceuticals (but not pain killers):
    • A short-term prescription muscle relaxer.
    • A short-term graduated prescription steroid (After reading the scary side effects, I couldn’t wait to stop.)

After taking it easy for two or three weeks, a massage, and several adjustments, I got pretty much back to normal. However, I have to say that I now much more aware of posture clues. Even moving a picture of water reminds me to hold that weight close to my body.

I hope that the tips above may be useful. The most important one is to PREVENT back injury by lifting properly. In other words, do as I say, not as I did.
