July 8, 2021 general

He is such a prolific source of knowledge, that when Bill Sardi is on Healthy by Nature, the show is typically dense with usable information. I sympathize with listeners who are driving, still half asleep or otherwise too occupied to make notes. The July 3, 2021 Show was one of those. For your convenience, the following is a summary of key points that we discussed.

• Breaking news from Germany claimed that the covid virus can reduce oxygen circulation for months, triggering breathing issues, fatigue and headaches. The researchers saw enlargement and other negative changes in red blood cells. Mr. Sardi pointed out that if those “experts” had studied nutrition in medical school, they would have quickly recognized the symptoms of thiamine deficiency. A deficiency of that nutrient (also known as vitamin B1) has been proven to cause all the blood cell changes and symptoms noted, as well as blood clots. This deficiency condition can also explain a lot of the post-covid “long haul” complaints including the loss of sense of taste and smell which are nerve functions. B1 supports the autonomic nervous system which controls heartbeat, breathing, digestion and other “automatic” functions. The B1 deficiency syndrome, called beriberi, can also interfere with immune function and result in fever. Many people became deficient even before covid-19 because there is not much B1 in the diet and it is depleted by sugar, coffee, and alcohol (all of which have been consumed in even greater quantities during the pandemic).

Beri beri is as serious as a virus and can be fatal if allowed to become extreme and/or linger. The superior oil soluble form, benfotiamine, is available in health food stores in high doses (e.g. 150 mg for $8 a month) mainly for alcoholics. You cannot overdose, but for most of us, I recommend Molecular Multi for normal maintenance and Nerve Guardian (it has other B’s and is only about $3 a month) for catching up and for anyone with nerve issues.

• Bill called attention to his report explaining the power of our immune system, Deprogram Yourself From The Mistaken Belief You Have No Immunity Against Pathogenic Viruses of Any Kind And Must Totally Rely on Vaccination To Avoid Death.
• I had said we might discuss natural means of preventing and treating covid-19 but time ran out. See a discussion of those topics in the Library.
• Delta variant. Bill Sardi agrees with the previous week’s guest, Peter McCullough, MD, that this new variant may spread faster but is no more dangerous than the original. (The recovery rate is 99.9%.) If you know about the home treatments (both medical and natural), it needs be no more worrisome than the flu. Note: both guests say that viruses naturally mutate to become less deadly because if they became stronger and routinely killed off their hosts, they could no longer survive and spread. The good news of becoming infected is that we develop lifelong immunity which is superior to vaccine protection. Those who have been previously infected are NOT likely to benefit from vaccination.
• The weedkiller, Roundup contains arsenic which depletes zinc from the soil, crops, and our bodies. We must have zinc for immune function and for blocking virus replication. Most multivitamins only contain 15 mg of zinc. Molecular Multi contains the 30 mg. we need.
• Selenium is an important trace mineral that helps release zinc from being bound up in a protein and it stops virus mutations. The usual supplemental dose is 100-200 mcg MORE is NOT better.
• Mandates? The military was punishing service folks who did not get the vaccine. They had to back off that stance because it is illegal to force the personnel. Sardi suggested Peggy Hall’s website as a resource.
• If you have gotten a covid vaccine (any type), Bill told us that it might be smart to take a natural blood thinner such as fish oil, garlic or resveratrol (i.e. Longevinex) to protect against clots which the shot might trigger. In case you have a clot and do not know it, you can take an enzyme (nattokinase) which breaks clots down. It is similar to a drug [Streptokinase] that would be given IV in an ambulance for a patient with a clot (e.g. with a type of heart attack or stroke). As Sardi mentioned, supplements of nattokinase are sold in health food stores, but I should add that is also included in the Kyolic #109 Blood Pressure Those natural substances keep the platelets from being sticky but do not overly thin the blood.
• Vitamin C helps reduce clot risk in a different way. Lipoprotein (a) is a type of cholesterol that is an independent risk factor for developing vascular disease. If there isn’t enough vitamin C in the body, this sticky substance takes its place in the artery wall and forms the basis for a clot. [Resveratrol helps keep the levels of lipoprotein (a) low.] Being water soluble, vitamin C washes out quickly, so it is best to take a supplement several times a day. (Or, better yet, take Formula 216 which helps the body keep restore vitamin C levels around the clock.) He and I take Formula 216 in the evening because night is the healing time and you wouldn’t take C pills during the night after you go to bed.
• Multi while breastfeeding? A caller, who is currently taking a prenatal vitamin, asked if Molecular Multi would be better. Mr. Sardi said to stick with the prenatal because Molecular Multi is designed for folks over 40 and so does not have enough iron for pregnancy or nursing.
• Testing for immunity. The PCR test has gotten better. Last year the procedure declared “positives” when it only found bits of virus not sufficient to cause disease. These tests only show the short-lived antibodies, not the long-term T-cells. (Those require zinc.)
• The extreme pressure to be vaccinated, along with the shortages, and all the power moves to control us seem to be part of a bigger (apparently global) plan to remake the world into something very unlike the capitalist democracy we grew up in. Keep an eye on your freedoms, including your health freedom because they are not guaranteed.

We hoped to talk about a recent article in which Sardi explains How Japan Achieved Super-Longevity In Just Five Decades Without An Anti-Aging Pill.
