With Tom Levy, MD on HBN May 17 we covered a lot and so last week’s blog was a written review. I ran out of time and space—this week’s blog  is a continuation.

Interview review:

As noted last week, we discussed the spike protein which is a scary aspect of the Covid-19 virus (and the vaccines) and it can be a chronic threat. One thing that helps with virtually all diseases is to restore electron balance with oxidative therapies (antioxidant supplements like vitamin C, ozone, hyperbaric oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet radiation of the blood, etc.). Dr. Levy said that vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide are great partners. Antioxidants as part of a regular supplement is great, but when you are sick it may take much higher doses and/or some of the other oxidative therapies.

Sepsis: This is how the CDC defines the condition: “Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract.” Dr. Levy said that advanced sepsis (exhibiting shock, blood pressure spikes, and when antibiotics and typical drugs do not work) is a massive oxidative problem which requires dramatic amounts of oxidative therapies such as much higher amounts of vitamin C than most doctors are comfortable using…e.g. 25 to 50 grams of vitamin C several times a day. (That much is most easily administered by IV). He said that procedure would bring most of those folks out of trouble. (But, the hospital won’t suggest it. You or a family member must fight for that help.)

Cardiovascular health: When I asked for prevention recommendations, the first Dr. Levy offered was to control hidden infections of gums, teeth, root canals, tonsils, poorly healed extractions, and sinuses. Dr. Levy said that the bacteria which cause those infections damage the heart and are the major cause of virtually all cardiovascular disease! A study analyzed the plaque inside the arteries of 36 heart patients and found that in 100% of cases, the plaque contained an assortment of 50 different species of oral organisms such as bacteria. Dr. Levy recommended listeners see a “biological dentist” (such as our Dr. Philip Kozlow) and he offered a free copy of his book, Hidden Epidemic: Silent Oral Infections Cause Most Heart Attacks and Breast Cancers, if you email him at [email protected] and ask for it.

Apparently, the chronic presence of those oral pathogens used up the vitamin C that would otherwise keep the vessel tissue healthy. (The covid spike protein also depletes C.) He pointed out that scientists have never found a toxic level of vitamin C, so don’t be shy about using it. The more toxic you are (e.g. smokers), the more you need. Long ago, humans lost the enzyme needed to convert glucose into vitamin C. (Bill Sardi’s Formula 216 helps compensate for that.) For optimal health, Levy thinks most people should take between 6,000 and 9,000 mg a day (probably in divided doses to be easier on a sensitive GI tract) and add magnesium because it is the most widespread deficiency which makes everything worse. Those help control the damage caused by intracellular calcium, as does vitamin D3 and vitamin K. So, his big 4 are: vitamins C, D3, K and the mineral magnesium. Other supplements are good but not in place of those. Magnesium testing in hospitals is inadequate. If they only test serum, Dr. Levy says that even a “normal” reading probably means you are at least somewhat low.

In closing, he said that one good thing to come out of the covid disaster was a well-earned skepticism about mainstream medical advice—because of useful treatments that were squashed, toxic treatments that were insisted upon and other actions that made the pandemic so much worse than it needed to be. This new  awareness leads to making sure your doctor has your best interest at heart. Another positive: more people now take vitamin C and have an appreciation of the oxidative therapy, nebulized hydrogen peroxide for respiratory infections.
