The Weather

A study in Clinical Infectious Diseases reported “that the risk of developing symptomatic illness within 14 days was 5 times greater when contacts were exposed to an asymptomatic [COVID]-positive child in their household.” Nearly 11% of household contacts developed symptoms within 14 days of exposure. The study also found, during a 3-month follow-up, that 6 out of 77 asymptomatic children developed Long COVID. The likelihood of developing symptoms from asymptomatic exposure is higher than we might expect. Continue to spread awareness of asymptomatic spread and advocate for increased infection control measures at your local schools.

COVID wastewater levels are decreasing. As of 3/29/24, New Mexico is “Very High,” Arkansas and Kentucky are “High,” and the rest of the states are “Moderate” to “Low” levels of SARS-CoV-2 detected in wastewater.

Wastewater levels continue to show a downward trend in the provisional data (gray shaded area) in all regions. The national wastewater levels are overall indicated as “Low.” While lower wastewater levels indicate decreased spread, it is important to continue to take precautions against infection. Holidays and spring breaks may bring people in closer proximity, so be sure to wear a mask to protect yourself and your community.

Wins

As we work to take more actions against the removal of vital public health measures, we remind you that you can still watch the recording of the People’s CDC press conference from March 13 and read the press release here. We would also like to remind you of the pre-proof of the People’s CDC External Review in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Focus. The publication highlights the shortcomings of the CDC’s approach to public health and recommends a more equitable pandemic response.

News sources have published articles about the frustrations of people who continue to take COVID precautions. Time Magazine published an article presenting “both sides,” highlighting protest from people working with the CDC and concern from citizens and experts alike. While we are glad to see our voices be published in popular media, we are also saddened that “returning to normal” under economic and political pressure is so valued.

Treatments

Invyvid has received an FDA emergency use authorization for Pemgarda, a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people with immunocompromising conditions. Pemgarda is approved for people 12 and older with moderate to severe immunocompromise who are less likely to produce an adequate immune response to COVID vaccination alone. According to a press release from Invyvid, Pemgarda will release to market “imminently.”

Pre-exposure prophylaxis is commonly used for folks at high risk for exposure to HIV. As access to PrEP for HIV has been instrumental in keeping people safe, we hope that PrEP for COVID will be a useful tool for our community members with immune compromise. We also urge you to continue to wear high-quality masks and take other precautions to protect those most vulnerable.

Long COVID

People Magazine recently published an article highlighting an essay by Ziyad Al-Aly, physician and clinical epidemiologist, that pools data from several studies showing that COVID infection has lasting impacts on brain health. The review points out several impacts to cognitive functioning, including memory loss, spatial reasoning, and planning. Additionally, imaging studies have shown significant impact to brain tissue from inflammation, among other processes. The publication may be validating to those who experience lower cognitive function following COVID infection, including brain fog and memory dysfunction.

Take Action

We know that taking precautions–including masking, testing, and improving air quality–helps prevent the spread of airborne viral infection. Introducing more stringent precautions slowed outbreaks in the hematology ward of a hospital. The CDC recently released tips to improve ventilation. Help us urge the CDC to take other measures, including reinstating isolation periods.

Additionally, the home Test to Treat program is ending in April 2024. The program provides un-or-underinsured adults with free COVID and flu tests. If a participant in the program tests positive, they can also receive free healthcare via telehealth services. Join us to help save the program that helps so many at-risk people!

Resia Pretorius Ph.d. has been calling attention to the dark, misshapen, gunky microclots and related problems (damaged platelets, blood vessel issues, and iron dysregulation) she’s been finding in chronic diseases for years. These clots are apparently hard for the body to break down and may be impeding blood flows to the issues.

Over the past couple of years, though, with at least six papers under their belts, she and Douglas Kell have been publishing furiously on their findings in long COVID. Last year they published the results of a small clinical trial using their multipronged approach. Eight months or so later they’re back with more results from more patients (91).

As before, their triple therapy included Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) (Clopidogrel 75 mg/aspirin 75 mg) once a day, plus direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) (Apixiban) 5 mg twice a day, and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (e.g., pantoprazole 40 mg/day for gastric protection) was used over 3-4 weeks.

The symptom assessments seemed pretty rudimentary but the results were good. Symptoms such as fatigue, sleep, and cognitive problems reportedly resolved in many patients and when asked about their “global health” approximately 50% of the participants stated that they were at the very least “better” and had received “a definite improvement that has made a real and worthwhile difference”;

The authors warned that this protocol should only be taken under the close guidance of a medical professional. Side effects were mostly minimal, however. Out of 91 participants, 75 reported bruising, 5 reported minor nosebleeds, 2 increased menstrual bleeding, and one person had a gastrointestinal bleed that required hospitalization and a 2-unit blood transfusion. The authors believed that the “relatively low bleeding risk” was due to the fact a hypercoagulable state was present that needed to be addressed.

Apparently, because it took longer to treat the longer-duration patients, the authors also warned that delaying these treatments might “prolong the duration of pharmacotherapy and also increase the likelihood of permanent hypoxic tissue damage”. (Ouch!).

They strongly urged that large, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with objective endpoints be done as quickly as possible.

The potentially good news is that the body will slowly remove the microclots. That means that if they can stop them from forming in the first place, normal blood flows should eventually resume and healing should take place.

They also proposed that when long-COVID or ME/CFS patients rest, they build up “a cellular ‘reservoir’” that helps them feel better. When they exert themselves, that oxygen reservoir becomes depleted – leading to a “crash”.

They also proposed that the autonomic nervous system issues in these diseases are caused by damage to the blood vessels.

Their treatment approach has yet to be tested in ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or postural orthostatic intolerance syndrome (POTS). All three diseases, however, show evidence of clotting, platelet activation, and/or blood vessel issues.

A large placebo-controlled, randomized trial is clearly the next step

Inhaled Ethanol as a possible Covid sterilization technique?

Abstract

Inhaled administration of ethanol in the early stages of COVID-19 would favor its location on the initial replication sites, being able to reduce the progression of the disease and improving its prognosis. Before evaluating the efficacy and safety of this novel therapeutic strategy in humans, its characterization is required. The developed 65° ethanol formulation is stable at room temperature and protected from light for 15 days, maintaining its physicochemical and microbiological properties. Two oxygen flows have been tested for its administration (2 and 3 L/min) using an automated headspace gas chromatographic analysis technique (HS-GC-MS), with that of 2 L/min being the most appropriate one, ensuring the inhalation of an ethanol daily dose of 33.6 ± 3.6 mg/min and achieving more stable concentrations during the entire treatment (45 min). Under these conditions of administration, the formulation has proven to be safe, based on histological studies of the respiratory tracts and lungs of rats. On the other hand, these results are accompanied by the first preclinical molecular imaging study with radiolabeled ethanol administered by this route. The current ethanol formulation has received approval from the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices for a phase II clinical trial for early-stage COVID-19 patients, which is currently in the recruitment phase (ALCOVID-19; EudraCT number: 2020-001760-29).

March 13, 2020 Possibility of Disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in Human Respiratory Tract by Controlled Ethanol Vapor Inhalation

Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza are lipophilic, enveloped viruses, and are relatively easy to inactivate by exposure to alcohols. The envelope mainly consists of the lipid bilayer, taken from the host cells at assembly/budding stage of the viral life cycle. Therefore the constitution of the lipid bilayer should be common in all SARS, MERS and influenza viruses, even after mutations, and thus these closely-related viruses will be disinfected by exposure to ethanol with the same concentration. Existing experimental data indicate that an ethanol concentration of 30~40 v/v% is sufficient to inactivate Influenza-A viruses in solution[1,2,3].

The author suggests that it may be possible to use alcoholic beverages of 16~20 v/v% concentration for this disinfection process, such as Whisky (1:1 hot water dilution) or Japanese Sake, because they are readily available and safe (non-toxic). By inhaling the alcohol vapor at 50~60°C (122~140°F) through the nose for one or two minutes, it will condense on surfaces inside the respiratory tract; mainly in the nasal cavity. The alcohol concentration will be intensified to ~36 v/v% by this process, which is enough to disinfect the corona virus on the mucous membrane. In this situation, our respiratory tract essentially works as an alcohol distillation apparatus (a condenser). This method also provides more moisture into respiratory tract, and helps to clean the inside of the nasal cavity by stimulating blowing of the nose, and also makes the mucous escalator work actively so that the self-clearing mechanism in the trachea will remove viruses faster.

An alternative prompt method is also discussed. We use 40 v/v% whisky or similar alcohol, dripping on a gauze, inhale the vapor slowly at room temperature. This method works well for the front part of the nasal cavity. This is suitable for clinical workers, because they may need to use prompt preventative measures at any time.

Disinfection of SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) in Human Respiratory Tract by Controlled Ethanol Vapor Inhalation combined with Asprin

Introduction

This study aims to identify if we could use Ethyl Alcohol inhalation combined with asprin in early stages of COVID-19 infection to improve oxygenation and prognosis, decrease severity of the disease, decrease hospital stay and rate of transfer of the patients from word to ICU and risk of mechanical ventilation.

Theory of Asprin

Aspirin is well known drug with various Pharmacological effects; Anti-platelet, Anti- inflammatory aspirin can inhibit viral replication through Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibition in macrophage and increasing production of type I interferon. Furthermore, aspirin possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions due to inhibiting COX enzyme. The early use of aspirin in COVID-19 patients could reduce incidence of disease severity, reduce hospital duration and reduce incidence of cardiovascular complications [1-4] analgesic effects. Moreover, aspirin was proved to possess an antiviral action for some viruses through inhibiting viral replication. Noteworthy, a study confirmed.

Theory of Alcohol Inhalation

COVID-19 virus contains genetic material Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) packaged in a protein coat called the capsid, which is surrounded by an envelope composed of a lipid bilayer derived from the host cell membrane. Ethyl alcohol is known to inactivate many viruses and constitutes the basis for many hand rubs and disinfectants used in healthcare settings [5] as well as in the general public. In fact, alcohol-based hand rub solutions have been shown to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in as little as 30 seconds [6,7]. Siddharta et al. [8] also published data on the effective virucidal activity of ethyl alcohol against enveloped viruses, including Zika, Ebola, as well as coronaviruses.

As late as the 1950s, inhaled Ethanol was found to be both effective and safe in the treatment of pulmonary edema [9,10] as well as Ethyl alcohol withdrawal [11]. In a recent publication by Shintake [12], inhaled ethanol was proposed as a potential method of inactivating respiratory viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 present in the respiratory tract. While chronic or excessive ethanol consumption is known to have negative effects on human health, including the immune system [13], the effects of intermittent moderate ethanol consumption have not been proven to cause serious long-term deleterious effects.

To date, extensive search of the medical literature reveals no reports of inhaled ethanol used in the treatment of COVID-19. Given the lack of a proven effective treatment, the proven viricidal efficacy of ethanol, its historical relative safety profile in treatment of other medical conditions, as well as a lack of evidence showing harm in mild to moderate, non-chronic, nonexcessive intake, the hypothesis was proposed that nebulized ethanol may prove beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19.

The experts at Infinity Care discuss some details of COVID-19

Corona has once again caused concern; after China and Japan, the new variant of Corona is spreading rapidly in India now. The coronavirus is a very subtle but effective virus. Coronavirus is 900 times smaller than human hair, but coronavirus infection is the first life-threatening virus to spread rapidly around the world.

The coronavirus belongs to a family of viruses whose infection can cause problems ranging from a cold to shortness of breath. This virus has never been seen before. The infection of this virus started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. According to the WHO, fever, coughing, and shortness of breath are symptoms.

Nebulizing with Peroxide and Iodine

What if there existed a cure for COVID that didn’t rely on patents? Perhaps you would not be surprised that it would be suppressed, right?

BMJ, the most prestigious medical journal in the world recently reported “Time to assume that health research is fraudulent until proven otherwise?” Money skews research and WHAT gets researched and there is plenty of money in COVID for both pharma companies and others.

One of the most important COVID recovery efforts that have been chronically underfunded since before the epidemic is how to use nebulized hydrogen peroxide and iodine for recovery.

Did you know that those who manage taxpayer funded US Government health agencies have a revolving door to pharma? Did you know that the same agencies generally don’t fund research into anything non patentable?

There is more politics in health care than there is in politics.

Iodine and HP. A story about two suppressed powerful unpatentable drugs.

Some supplements have dramatic effects and not all supplements work slowly, some work real fast. Have you ever tried taking iodine tincture (Lugol’s) for food poisoning? 12 drops in ¼ glass of water works within 3 minutes. This virtually works every time by anyone who tries it. But doctor’s don’t talk about this! They don’t know anything about iodine anymore. Did you know that iodine was the go to medicine for any doctor in the old days. Not anymore. It has been suppressed for years now. A good book about Iodine is a masterpiece of a book by Lynne Farrow, “The Iodine Crisis”. Buy it and read it asap. It covers how she healed herself from breast cancer using iodine. The forward of that book is by Dr. David Brownstein.

How much money has been made by the medical industrial complex on the COVID pandemic? Pfizer alone is set to make 55 billion on COVID. Of over $100 billion in revenue, $24.2 from Paxlovid and $29.7 billion from the vaccine.

Unfortunately our government has colluded with Phyzer and others to conceal the fact that COVID, like any other respiratory illness, is easily curable. Our government, instead of researching unpatentable cures to diseases, instead suppressed them. In the case of Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) you can find several articles promoted by our corrupt US government about how dangerous HP can be. They talk of nebulizing with 10% HP, which is a ridiculously high concentration you don’t even put on your skin, let alone nebulize with it. It is true that nebulizing with 3% HP can lead to throat irritation.

However you don’t need to nebulize with 3%HP, one hundred times less of a concentration is plenty, or 0.03% if you also put a couple of drops of iodine tincture — food grade Lugol’s in the medical cup. See exact formula below.

For arguments sake let’s suppose you needed to suffer from a bit of a dry throat from nebulizing with 3% HP, that would be totally worth it if you prevented or cured COVID in the process, right? But you don’t have to! Our dear government does nothing to help us. They are disconnected from reality, hypnotized into the world of for-profit patent medicine. Ignoring the cure that has been available for free, all this time.

Dr. David Brownstein:

Dr. David Brownstein has been employing nebulized 0.03% food-grade hydrogen peroxide as an essential component of his COVID treatment.

His go-to treatment for COVID-19 and other upper respiratory infections is nebulized hydrogen peroxide and iodine. Dr. David Brownstein currently runs a clinic located just outside of Detroit, Michigan, and has effectively treated more than a hundred people with various respiratory infections, including COVID-19.

Reason for Dr. Brownstein’s Notoriety:

The reason Dr. Brownstein is most well-known is likely because of his advocacy for iodine as well as its supplementation. Additionally, he was a pioneer in the use of nebulized peroxide and vitamin D optimization.

Know More About Vitaims and Minerals: The Complete 2022 Guide To Vitamins and Minerals

Dr. Brownstein also wrote as well as published a widely accepted research paper in Science, Public Health Policy, and The Law Journal Vol. 2 in July of 2020 that highlights the importance of Hydrogen peroxide and Iodine in the treatment of respiratory infections similar to COVID-19.

His paper is titled “A Novel Approach to Treating COVID-19 Using Nutritional and Oxidative Therapies,” and his methodology for peroxide and iodine nebulization is termed the Brownstein Protocol.

Dr. Brownstein has countless fans from people following his protocols and being cured from diseases like cancer and other serious diseases, one of whom wrote the best selling book “The Iodine Crisis: What You Don’t Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life”, Lynne Farrow.

What Led To Dr. Brownstein’s Discovery Of The COVID-19 Treatment?

He has outlined the specific circumstances that led to his current protocol:

The history dates back to when he started practicing holistic medicine, which was around 28 years ago. Every fall and winter, he would undoubtedly see individuals suffering from influenza and illnesses similar to it, so he began looking for solutions to boost people’s immune systems.

Some of this information is described in Dr. David Brownstein’s book “A Holistic Approach to Viruses” where he goes through 107 case studies, describing rescuing people from near death using this protocol. Since then he has cured over 3000 people.

Vitamin C and D:

At first, he used vitamin C as well as vitamin D. In 1992, he first began monitoring patients’ vitamin D levels. He discovered that an overwhelming majority of his patients, nearly 90%, were suffering from vitamin D deficiency. He noted that those who suffered from more chronic illnesses and were generally sicker typically had lower vitamin D levels.

Vitamin A:

He then considered the importance of vitamin A. He promptly incorporated vitamin A into his treatment routine after studying the research as to how measles infections in third-world nations may be treated with excess exposure to vitamin A in the patients.

Iodine:

Several years later, Dr. Brownstein turned his focus to iodine. Iodine directly kills viruses. It affects the immune system. It aids in the production of hydrogen peroxide by white blood cells, which is used to combat bacterial and viral infections in addition to having thyroid effects.

The patients initially received high doses of vitamins A, C, and D for around four days before iodine was introduced to the therapy plan.

Results Of The Initial Treatments:

What Dr. Brownstein discovered was that when he glanced at the reported rates of health problems with these illnesses, his patients did not contract pneumonia, did not end up in the hospital, and did not pass away from the flu or other influenza-like illnesses at rates that were even remotely close to what they should have.

Hydrogen Peroxide:

Dr. Brownstein heard about hydrogen peroxide when enrolled in a course on oxidative medicine. He and his team then began using intravenous or IV hydrogen peroxide as well as nebulized hydrogen peroxide, midway through the 1990s, to be exact. He has been utilizing nebulized peroxide in clinical settings for 25 years, which is more time than anyone else in the field.

Is Hydrogen Peroxide And Iodine Nebulization Even Safe?

Despite the many benefits of nebulizing with peroxide and iodine, there are certain symptoms you must expect as nebulized hydrogen peroxide is a pro-oxidant. When taken in small doses irrespective of food intake, 3% nebulized peroxide may cause dry throat as well as minor temporary symptoms. However Dr. Brownstein is recommending a 100x weaker solution of 0.03%, this is about 2 drops (0.05mL) of HP in 5mL of sodium chloride, which is very safe and comfortable to nebulize with.

Aside from that, hydrogen peroxide (HP) and iodine nebulization is indeed completely risk-free. With near to no negative effects discovered in 25 years of use by Dr. Brownstein. You may also use it at home without a prescription, and it is quite affordable. It is among the very best treatments available for viral diseases such as SARS-CoV-2 or even more serious respiratory viruses that are anticipated to be mutated in the future. Only use food grade HP. Not the shelf stabilized pharmacy versions.

We have come across another doctor who teaches the HP protocol. Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, recommends HP nebulization with 3% HP and does not include iodine in his protocol.

Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD is a board-certified cardiologist and the author of Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins and STOP America’s #1 Killer!; plus several other groundbreaking medical books. He is one of the world’s leading vitamin C experts and frequently lectures to medical professionals all over the globe about the proper role of vitamin C and antioxidants in the treatment of a host of medical conditions and diseases.

Dr. Levy is featured in the magazine Woman’s World in an article “Finally…I can breath again!” The article centers around a woman cured from COVID using the HP nebulization method, no surprise there. However she also got cured from her long standing asthma attacks, sinus pain, headaches, dizziness and congestion.

A Patient Case Study:

A 67 year old man patient’s case is described by Dr. Brownstein. After displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19 for seven to eight days, the patient was unable to breathe and went to the hospital, where he was identified as having bilateral pneumonia. Because there were no available beds, he was discharged from the hospital after only two days of therapy, which included oxygen, despite feeling only marginally better.

With the instruction to return to the hospital only if he was unable to breathe, he was sent home on nothing but oxygen. He felt defeated, thinking he might die from this disease like many others before him. As a last resort, he ended up contacting Dr. Brownstein and told him what had occurred.

Dr. Brownstein assured the patient that no harm would come to him. When inquired whether or not he owned a nebulizer, the patient replied, “No.”

Dr. Brownstein instructed that he needed to be started on nebulization immediately. His wife was sent to fetch a handheld nebulizer, and with decades of expertise at their disposal, Brownstein and his team prepared the nebulizing solution to be delivered to the patient’s home along with the nebulizer.

By day’s end, Dr. Brownstein gave the patient a call. After the second nebulizer treatment, the patient claimed that his lungs began to open up. He stated that he had completed three nebulizer treatments. The patient’s worries lessened, and he stopped feeling like he was going to die. His overall condition saw an astounding improvement of about 70%.

But not like he was completely cured, he was still coughing and struggling to breathe. He reported feeling significantly better following the third treatment. The treatment seemed to be working perfectly.

How Effective Is Nebulizing With Peroxide And Iodine?

This narrative is consistent with the experiences of many people who have undergone the treatment. They felt noticeably better after two sessions. Their respiration had restored just after the third treatment, and they were on the road to a complete recovery.

There are not many alternative treatments that are effective within hours. Dr. Brownstein concurs that this scenario matches what he has seen in his own patients. He reports that usually, after nebulization, everything feels a lot better within a matter of hours.

This is also collaborated by a board-certified cardiologist and the author of the books “STOP America’s #1 Killer!” and the “Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins,” among others, Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD. He wrote in his book “Rapid Virus Recovery” that:

“The inhalation of HP (Hydrogen peroxide) by nebulization has been shown to be extremely effective for the rapid elimination of any pathogen presence in the sinuses, nose, throat, and deep into the lungs.”

However, it is also vital to know that handheld nebulizers do not really work as well as they should. A few of Dr. Brownstein’s patients also tried using the same solution with a portable nebulizer that the aforementioned patient had. The treatment was not working when they called him back to report on the progress of the treatment.

It was later found out that it worked better once they had a desktop model nebulizer with a little more strength. Therefore, Dr. Brownstein generally advises against using a handheld nebulizer as a result. It is recommended to implement a desktop model instead as it is somewhat more powerful.

The Response To Dr. Brownstein’s Discovery:

When asked about the reactions from other doctors to his blog posts regarding the treatment, Dr. Brownstein shared that in the middle of the crisis, as he was blogging, doctors from all over the nation began contacting him, particularly from New York and New Jersey. Many were medical professionals working at hospitals. They were completely clueless as to what to do as all the treatments at that time were ineffective.

First and foremost, doctors want treatment for their family, and secondly, they want to assist their patients. Once Dr. Brownstein published his findings, he consequently started to hear from doctors. They were intrigued. He learned from a few nearby medical professionals that they sent the patients they were unable to treat to Dr. Brownstein and his team.

These patients recovered. Dr. Brownstein received numerous emails, text messages, and phone calls from doctors asking how the treatment worked. It was actually the first time everyone wanted to know what he was doing. Therefore, due to so much demand, Dr. Brownstein decided to create a protocol in dire times of the pandemic so that anyone at home could find relief from respiratory infections.

How To Nebulize Against COVID-19 and Other Respiratory Infections With The Brownstein Protocol?

MeriMist Compressor Nebulizer MPN-001

This model has been found to be excellent. Dr. David Brownstein selected this model after testing most of the units available on the US market.

It is crucial to remember that when using home remedies, the instructions must be fully understood and followed. It is also crucial to discontinue using the remedy immediately if there ever appears to be distress or a negative reaction.

As aforementioned, Desktop Nebulizers are recommended as a starting point for nebulizing hydrogen peroxide. You should also keep in mind to only ever use food-grade hydrogen peroxide.

It’s simplest to use the ready to use and pre-measured sodium chloride solution provided for your in 5mL vials, such as those:

Nebulizer Set Up:

Connect the tubes to the nebulizer at the instructed places.

Open the nebulizer and put the following formula based on instructions provided in Dr. David Brownstein’s book “Viruses” drop by drop into the medical cup provided with the nebulizer:

Dr. David Brownstein’s Formula For Nebulizer:

5 mL

Sodium chloride (standard saline solution)

1–2 drops

3% Hydrogen peroxide (food-grade) Don’t use the pharmacy brands since they are manufactured with stabilizers

1–2 drops

Lugol’s 2% Iodine (food-grade)

Turn the machine on.

Put on the mask and breathe through the fumes deeply.

Have a tissue handy because you may want to wipe your eyes or blow your nose.

Only nebulize for 7 minutes. If you nebulize longer than 10 minutes you are most likely recirculating your nasal drippings — no need to do that.

You can also create your own saline solution. You might also opt to buy a high-quality saline solution for inhalation.

Standard Saline Solution Preparation:

Fill a glass jar with 8 ounces of distilled water. It’s crucial that you only use distilled water and not regular tap water.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of pure salt to the jar. It can be Real Salt, Celtic Salt, or Himalayan Salt.

To dissolve, stir the mixture.The Effect Of Dr. Brownstein’s Protocol On FDA and Medical Science:

Not only does the Brownstein hydrogen peroxide and iodine formula for nebulizing discredited patented treatments, simply because it’s much more effective and easier to administer. But it also casts a light on how broken our health system is. Here we are in the middle of 2022 with 6.5 million people dead from COVID and financial devastation that has prompted a pandemic rescue of $24 trillion. Why didn’t our health care leaders recommend nebulizing with HP and iodine? Nebulization was popular in the US in the 1950s (even people in ancient Egypt used nebulizers) and similarly HP and the use of iodine started in the 1800s. The benefits of those methods and compounds should be well understood.

However since all of this is out of patent there is no money in promoting those methods. The systems governing scientific research are without a question money motivated and our government agencies are completely co-opted into the for-profit “revolving door” money grubbing pharma industrial complex.

The situation is HOPELESS. Like with cancer research, we as a society have completely failed. As mentioned in my favorite article on cancer, published in FORTUNE Magazine, Why We’re Losing The War On Cancer [And How To Win It], “It’s like a Greek tragedy,” observes Andy Grove, the chairman of Intel and a prostate-cancer survivor, who for years has tried to shake this cultural mindset as a member of several cancer advisory groups. “Everybody plays his individual part to perfection, everybody does what’s right by his own life, and the total just doesn’t work.” Of course NOTHING good has happened in the world of patented oncology. Doctors in that world are worse than useless. The only good book published about cancer since 2004 is the book mentioned above, “The Iodine Crisis” by Lynne Farrow.

Effective cure for the lingering “Long-COVID” cough! The hydrogen peroxide nebulization reaches deep into the lungs, throat and sinuses and kills everything in its way. People report getting rid of Long-COVID-19 symptoms and other symptoms such as allergy symptoms. Mold survivors regain their health also.

Conclusion:

The reasons are obvious for why nebulization was not allowed to save us from the COVID misery — It’s a fact nebulizing with HP and iodine could have saved 6.5 million lives and over $24 trillion dollars.

Dr. David Brownstein used hydrogen peroxide nebulization long before COVID as an effective treatment for respiratory infections. This simple, safe, and affordable treatment can be administered in any home with a nebulizer. Despite some concerns about safety, most patients report no adverse effects from using nebulized hydrogen peroxide and iodine. In fact, many find it helpful in relieving their symptoms quickly.

Due to the overwhelming response to his discovery, Dr. David Brownstein has created a protocol for those wishing to treat respiratory infections through nebulization at home. This protocol calls for a mixture of Lugol’s 2% iodine solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide diluted with standard saline solution preparation.

Don’t let the powers that be lie to you that “further research is needed” it’s their go to standard bullshit. Research that never will be funded is needed to substantiate natural cures.

We live in a morally bankrupt society. You are on your own. And please don’t ask a kid to study hard to become a doctor! Most doctors unfortunately and unintentionally become pharmaceutical sales reps with few exceptions such as surgeons and doctors as Dr. David Brownstein, MD and Thomas E. Levy, MD. Instead most aspiring doctors should instead study naturopathy, a more open minded system. In my estimation less than 1% of doctors are independent thinkers as the two docs mentioned above. It’s harder than you think to be independent when you owe student loans, have invested 10 years into your specialty and when working with a license you can lose, while working in a hospital which provides a rigid structure and will penalize you, fire you, or have your license revoked.

I know good doctors that work overtime for free but still shell out prescriptions because patients look at ads that trick them to think they need those drugs. Patients pay so much in insurance that they feel like the doctor should give them the expensive drugs advertised on TV. No, don’t go this way! Don’t become a doctor!

If you are feeling ill with a respiratory infection, please consider trying this protocol under the guidance of your Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and/or talk to your doctor. Beware that your doctor may unintentionally kill you by encouraging you not to use this method because of the lack of research into the subject. I guarantee you the government will NEVER research anything helpful if it is not patentable.

Background

There is mounting evidence that SARS-CoV-2 targets tissues beyond the respiratory tract. Long-term sequelae after COVID-19 are frequent and of major concern. Prolonged virus detection in the gut has been particularly intriguing. Of note, SARS-CoV-2 infection also disturbs the gut microbiota composition, a finding linked with disease severity in patients with COVID-19. Here, we aimed to characterize the functional role of the gut microbiota in the long-term consequences of COVID-19. To this end, we characterized the gut microbiota from COVID-19 human subjects and followed the effects of human fecal transfer to germ-free mice.

Results

The gut microbiota of post-COVID subjects (up to 4 months from the initial positive test) revealed a remarkable predominance of Enterobacteriaceae strains with multidrug-resistance phenotype compared to healthy controls. After fecal transfer to germ-free mice, animals receiving samples from post-COVID subjects displayed higher lung inflammation and increased susceptibility to pulmonary infection caused by an antimicrobial resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. These mice also showed poorer cognitive performance associated with increased expression of TNF-α, reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor-BDNF and postsynaptic density protein-PSD-95 in the brain, as well as alterations of several biochemical pathways. These alterations were observed in the absence of SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that alterations in the gut microbiota caused them. Consistent with this hypothesis, brain dysfunctions induced in a mouse model of coronavirus infection were partially prevented by modulation of the microbiota via treatment with the commensal probiotic bacteria Bifidobacterium longum 51A.

Discussion

our post-COVID subject group did not report higher antibiotic use compared to controls which raises concerns of a “silent” spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment.

We found a predominant increase of AMR Klebsiella sp. in the gut microbiota of post-COVID subjects. This bacterium belongs to the ESKAPE group of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and has been reported to be responsible for most nosocomial pneumonia infections caused in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

mice receiving a fecal transfer from post-COVID donors presented worse lung injury after infection with K. pneumoniae reinforcing the connection between gut and lung [75, 76]. Thus, modulation of the gut microbiota may be used as a strategy to prevent or improve host defense against bacteria in the lung.

We found an increase of cultivable Enterobacteriaceae in the lung of mice that received a fecal transfer from post-COVID donors, which was not observed in controls. This lung incremental colonization of LPS-producing bacterial could compromise the lung defenses against bacteria.

Previous studies have suggested that even minimal alterations in the lung microbiome were enough to affect the central nervous system, while major changes in gut microbiome were necessary [85]. Thus, lung alterations induced by the post-COVID microbiota in humanized microbiota mice might be associated with neurological outcomes. Our findings that the post-COVID microbiota can induce memory impairment in humanized microbiota mice are in accordance with the neurological outcomes in post-acute COVID in humans.

Production of metabolites, particularly SCFAs, by the gut microbiota is a major mechanism that explains the gut-lung and gut-brain connections [20, 88]. We found reduced levels of SCFAs, mostly propionate, in fecal samples from post-COVID donors, which may affect the gut-brain connection and help explain the neurological sequelae observed in post-acute COVID. Propionate has been shown to modulate blood-brain barrier integrity and the inflammatory response in microglia [85]. In line with our findings, decreased SCFA levels were associated with Alzheimer's disease in clinical studies and experimental models [89–91]. Biological effects of SCFAs are triggered mainly by direct binding to specific G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as GPR41 and GPR43, which are expressed in both peripheral and central nervous system [92, 93]. We also observed clear differences in the systemic levels of host factors, such as I-FABP and IL-10, indicating the loss in intestinal homeostasis in post-COVID subjects compared to controls. Indeed, I-FABP has been shown to be a relevant biomarker for COVID-19 disease prognostic

the probiotic B. longum 51A strain is the ability to produce high levels of SCFAs, which has beneficial effects in controlling host inflammation, particularly in the lung

Conclusions

Our results show prolonged impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the gut microbiota that persists even after the individuals have cleared the virus. Increased Enterobacteriaceae with antimicrobial resistance phenotype were of particular concern. Moreover, microbiota transfer from post-COVID subjects induced loss of brain cognitive functions and impaired lung defense in mice. Altogether, our work emphasizes the importance of microbiota as a target for therapies to help treat post-COVID sequelae.
