The Future of Natural Thyroid Drugs
from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/20/signs-symptoms-and-solutions-for-poor-thyroid-function.aspx Major Pharmaceuticals has put out a press release saying that they've been forced to shut down production of all natural desiccated thyroid drugs, a treatment for hypothyroidism that has been in use for over a century. Major received notice from the FDA that their complete line of desiccated thyroid drugs can no longer be manufactured, and that the FDA is pulling the designation that allowed them to sell these drugs. Major is also saying that the FDA is requiring that all manufacturers that wish to continue manufacturing submit an NDA or ANDA (New Drug Application or Abbreviated New Drug Application) for approval. Desiccated thyroid drugs were in use in the early 1900’s, and already on the market when the government regulatory groups to oversee medications were formed, so they never went through the new drug application process. Biotech, Time Cap Labs, and Major are no longer manufacturing natural desiccated thyroid drugs. RLC and Forest are now the last makers of natural desiccated thyroid drugs in the U.S., and their products are unavailable or in short supply in throughout the nation. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/19/is-the-fda-poised-to-ban-a-century-old-natural-remedy.aspx A Letter to Our Descendants, From 2022Hello, descendants. I am writing this from year 2022. I am in America. Things are weird. Our governments have betrayed us, our science has been kidnapped and put on a ventilator, and our official media is already dead. As we are approaching two years of this insanity, I want you to hear the story of how this tower of lies was built. This story is just the tip of the iceberg but it's important to name the recent lies — and there have been so many of them! In March 2020, the world went mad, and basic things like hugging a friend or going to visit your parents were declared extreme. Borders were closed. Children were kept away from school. Privacy was made a crime. Elder abuse was glorified. Going to a grocery store or just for a walk outside suddenly required donning a ritual mask. It was as if the wheel was hijacked by cruel lunatics, and they just started barking orders at everyone that made no sense and caused tremendous pain — but the citizens were too shocked, and they obeyed. Overtime, for more shock and awe, more madness was introduced. Ritual masks became a permanent fixture, and some of the citizens lost their minds and started feeling endangered if they didn't see masks on everyone's faces, including the toddlers'. Then, under a military program, the authorities came up with a medical product that was developed so quickly (at a "warp speed," they said) that they could not have possibly tested it properly for safety — and yet, the product was declared holier than even the ritual masks, and the citizens were mandated to inject the mystery potion into their bodies if they wanted to go to work, eat at a restaurant, and in some cases, visit the family. When the government first introduced it, they said that the mystery potion was so potent that it would stop the disease — and the madness would stop, and the normal life would resume at long last. Soon though, it turned out the potion didn't work very well and lost power quickly — not to mention strange side effects — so there was no return to old normal at all: only barking, and more fear, more injections and ritual masks, forever and ever. And so here we are. It's 2022, our government has betrayed us, our science is on a vent, and our media is dead. Weird, huh? If this sounds to you like a bad dream (hope it does) — yes, it does sound absurd, and alas, this is our life. So, dear descendants, let us talk about the tower of lies that they built. Tony Fauci in Early 2020In February 2020, NIAID Director Tony Fauci published a paper in New England Journal of Medicine, in which he said the following: "The overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively." The month he published that paper was the very last month of old normal. After that, no one was allowed to compare COVID to the flu without a punishment. Lies, Lies, LiesFirst, they changed definitions, some in the years preceding COVID, and some in the past two years. They updated the meanings of basic words like "pandemic," "herd immunity," "vaccine," "vaccinated," "unvaccinated," "available ICU beds," "breakthrough infections" (formerly known as "vaccine failure"), and many others. Then, they told blatant lies. Below is an incomplete list of lies that has allowed them to maintain the madhouse we are in.
VAERS Is Junk DataA pre-COVID Harvard-associated study concluded that less than 1% of all vaccine injuries get recorded:
VAERS is cumbersome. It takes no less than 30 minutes to file a report, and doctors don't get paid for that. There is intimidating legal language of every page, and doctors are often discouraged from filing reports by their hospital systems. The number of adverse events reported to VAERS for COVID injections dwarves all adverse events from all vaccines for the entire time the system has existed. Medicare data shows 48,465 deaths related to shots and support the notion that VAERS data needs to be taken most seriously. • We should trust Big Pharma -- Sure, why not. Except vaccine manufacturers can't be sued if this product causes injury; Pfizer has paid billions in settlements and tried to bribe its way out of criminal charges in Nigeria; Pfizer also asked the FDA to be allowed to not disclose their safety and other data for 75 years; They also bullied various governments to ensure total legal immunity. And a FOIA-obtained "post-marketing" data (a part of the data that they wanted to hide from the public for 75 years) showed recorded adverse events and fatalities at a heartbreaking rate (1223 deaths in three months in their own data). And here is one of my favorites when it comes to trust. Jim (or James) Smith, Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, is a Director at Pfizer. He also serves who on the World Economic Forum's … Partnering Against Corruption Initiative. Perfect. Speaking of media … Who Owns the Media (and Everything Else)?Here is an excerpt from the article called, "How a Company Called BlackRock Shapes Your News, Your Life, Our Future":
• Eighteen percent of Fox. • Sixteen percent of CBS, and therefore also of Sixty Minutes. • Thirteen percent of Comcast, which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group. • Twelve percent of CNN. • Twelve percent of Disney, which owns ABC and FiveThirtyEight. • Between ten and fourteen percent of Gannett, which owns more than 250 Gannett daily newspapers plus USA Today. • Ten percent of the Sinclair local television news, which controls seventy-two percent of U.S. households' local TV. • A large unspecified chunk of Graham Media Group, which owns Slate and Foreign Policy. By the way, to see that the same trio also owns major stakes in every big company in every major industry, just go to Yahoo!Finance and see for yourself. Here is just one example: Pfizer. And here's a quote from a Columbia Journalism Review article called, "Journalism's Gates Keepers" about Bill Gates and his Foundation's grants to the media:
And here is an excerpt from a Mint Press News / Grayzone article called, "Documents show Bill Gates has given $319 million to media outlets to promote his global agenda," according to which, the Foundation has given 319+ million dollars to media outlets. And while I disagree with the author on his dismissal of "conspiracy theories," his analysis of Gates' corruption is quite excellent. Below is just the award directly to media outlets:
With all this corruption, is it really that shocking that our mainstream science is dying and our mainstream media already dead and replaced by some kind of an infomercial zombie? Not that shocking, I think. And we have not even dug in the Great Reset and 4IR! I would like to end this story with an anecdote about my cab ride with the radio on. Whatever the show was about, it was really about COVD "vaccines." "Vaccines! Vaccines! Vaccines-vaccines-vaccines! Vaccines!!!" chirped the radio. They delivered their horrible lies in an ordinary, confident tone. They mocked the caricature "antivaxxers" and made science-conscious people sound like slime. The toxicity of the programming was through the roof — and yet to the driver, it seemingly felt normal, to my great surprise. There was not one factual truth in their entire reporting — and I wanted to scream — and yet the driver was not bothered at all. So I guess, propaganda does work very well, and we have slid into a dystopian world. Which, as far as I am concerned, only means one practical thing: Not acceptable, and game on.

Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, is an essential nutrient that humans must get from their diet or supplements. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is perhaps most well-known for its antioxidant properties — properties it maintains because of an ability to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. In the video above, Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., discusses vitamin C in-depth, covering everything from its effects on immune function and viral infections to the bioavailability of different vitamin C forms and administrations, such as oral or intravenous — plus much more. If you have any interest in learning how vitamin C can benefit your health, this video is a must-see. Vitamin C's Many Roles in Your HealthVitamin C, even in small quantities, protects proteins, lipids and even DNA and RNA in your body from reactive oxygen species that are generated during normal metabolism as well as due to toxin exposure (such as to cigarette smoke and air pollution). Vitamin C is also involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, carnitine and catecholamines, according to Patrick, and as such, "vitamin C participates in immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways."1 Intravenous (IV) vitamin C has also shown promise in helping to treat viral infections and cancer, while vitamin C is also involved in the way your body processes other vitamins, such as vitamin E, which it regenerates from its oxidized form. Vitamin C also makes iron from dietary sources more bioavailable because it enhances gut absorption of nonheme iron.2 Vitamin C and Immune FunctionVitamin C's role in immune function is worthy of attention. "It stimulates the production of white blood cells, especially neutrophils, lymphocytes and phagocytes, and promotes the cells' normal functions, such as their ability to detect, move toward and engulf pathogens," according to Patrick.3 Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant within your cells, helping to protect immune cells from incurring damage, and may promote the production of interferon, which helps defend against viruses. There's also evidence that vitamin C may help in some cases of exercise-induced immune dysfunction. While exercise is generally beneficial for immune function, over-exercise or repeated high-intensity training can take a toll on the immune system. In the case of marathon runners, skiers and soldiers, for instance, those who used supplemental vitamin C had 50% fewer colds.4 Vitamin C's anti-cold effects are among its most-studied uses, and research suggests that using vitamin C prophylactically as well as therapeutically at the onset of cold symptoms may reduce symptoms and cold duration.5 It may also be useful against COVID-19. In my March 17, 2020, interview with Dr. Andrew Saul, editor-in-chief of Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, he mentions being in contact with a South Korean medical doctor who is giving patients and medical staff an injection of 100,000 IUs of vitamin D along with as much as 24,000 mg (24 grams) of IV vitamin C. "He's reporting that these people are getting well in a matter of days," Saul says. As explained by Saul, vitamin C at extremely high doses acts as an antiviral drug, actually killing viruses. While it does have anti-inflammatory activity, which helps prevent the massive cytokine cascade associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, its antiviral capacity likely has more to do with it being a non-rate-limited free radical scavenger. Patrick also noted that vitamin C may be protective against respiratory diseases. In one study, people with the highest vitamin C levels were 15% less likely to develop respiratory conditions and 46% less likely to die of lung cancer compared to those with the lowest levels.6 Further, vitamin C is well known for helping with lung defense, which takes on renewed meaning in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Patrick:7
Vitamin C and CancerAnother exciting area of vitamin C research involves cancer. Research suggests that IV vitamin C may extend survival compared to chemotherapy alone, even for pancreatic and ovarian cancers, which are among the deadliest. Patrick mentions two studies in patients with pancreatic cancer, which found intravenous vitamin C helped reduce tumor size and promote longer progression-free survival.8 Vitamin C also leads to improved quality of life for cancer patients. In one study of 39 patients diagnosed with terminal cancer, IV vitamin C led to improvements in physical, emotional and cognitive status as well as reductions in fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain and appetite loss.9 Since conventional cancer therapies often lead to significant side effects, including physical, emotional, cognitive and sexual impairments, using vitamin C as an adjunct to improve quality of life can be a significant improvement. Vitamin C for Heart and Brain HealthPatrick's video also goes into the role vitamin C plays as a cardioprotective agent, as well as a mediator of brain health. For starters, vitamin C is known to protect against high blood pressure, as well as reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure or prehypertension.10 Vitamin C also shows promise as a treatment for ischemia and perfusion injury, which can occur following a heart attack or stroke, leading to increased inflammation and oxidative damage. "Vitamin C might be effective at reducing myocardial injury in part by mitigating oxidative stress," Patrick explained.11 In your brain, vitamin C is also essential. According to Patrick:12
Due to vitamin C's antioxidant properties, it may help decrease the risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and multiple sclerosis because it reduces oxidative damage. "Vitamin C is also important for the regulation of neurotransmitters, the formation of neural circuits, and many other key brain functions," Patrick says.13 Vitamin C as a 'Cure-All'Patrick describes double Nobel Prize laureate Dr. Linus Pauling's 1970 publication on vitamin C and the common cold as the impetus that brought vitamin C into the realm of a cure-all in the minds of the general public. While this is an exaggeration — vitamin C can't cure everything — it's truly remarkable how many different conditions appear to be benefited by vitamin C. Aside from being an antioxidant and anti-infective agent, Patrick describes vitamin C's benefits for:
Vitamin C Bioavailability Varies by FormThere are differences in the bioavailability of vitamin C depending on its form. Both frequency and dose of vitamin C will affect your levels, but so too will taking it in oral or IV form. "For example, oral vitamin C is absorbed in the small intestine via specialized transporters that are subject to saturation, but intravenous vitamin C bypasses the gut, achieving blood and tissue concentrations that are markedly higher than those achieved with the oral form," Patrick explains.14 IV vitamin C may lead to blood concentrations up to 70 times higher than an equivalent oral dose.15 That being said, liposomal vitamin C, in which vitamin C is encapsulated in a lipid particle, may increase bioavailability of oral vitamin C considerably. "A few studies suggest that oral bioavailability of vitamin C can be increased when consumed in liposomal form, which exerts a unique profile of oral bioavailability," Patrick says, citing a study of 20 people who were given a 10-gram dose of free oral vitamin C or liposomal vitamin C.16 "The average peak plasma concentration of vitamin C in the participants who took the free form was approximately 180 micromoles per liter of blood. However, among those who took the liposomal form, the average peak plasma concentration was 300 micromoles per liter of blood, a 70 percent difference," she said.17 I strongly believe that liposomal vitamin C is a must for your medicine kit to be pulled out for acute viral illnesses. If I were to become acutely ill, I would take 4 grams of liposomal vitamin C every hour until feeling better, then start decreasing the dosage slowly over a few days once symptoms improve. Best Food Sources of Vitamin CI personally only take 100 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C supplement and only when I don't have regular access to fresh acerola cherries. I have several trees on my property that usually have a harvest every few weeks for nine months of the year. Each cherry has 80 mg of vitamin C, so I can easily get up to 10 grams on days that I eat the cherries. A wide variety of foods are high in vitamin C, including red pepper, parsley, broccoli, kiwi, strawberries, guava, tomato and all citrus fruits. You can get significant amounts of vitamin C from your diet if you eat these foods on a daily basis. Keep in mind, however, that cooking destroys about 25% of the vitamin C present in foods.18 Fortunately, many vitamin C-rich foods are commonly eaten raw. If you're healthy, or have only mild illness, you can certainly use these types of whole foods, and they may even be preferable, but if you want to treat illness, your best bet is to use vitamin C in supplement form, either liposomal or IV. Further, according to Patrick:19
Certain populations, including people who smoke, consume alcohol or have inflammatory bowel disease, may need increased intake of vitamin C, but some research suggests vitamin C deficiency may be more common than realized. "Interestingly, a population-based cross-sectional study of nearly 150 patients admitted to a large teaching hospital in Canada found that 60 percent of the patients had suboptimal plasma vitamin C levels and 19 percent were deficient, with levels approaching those associated with scurvy," Patrick noted.20 It's clear that vitamin C is one nutrient everyone should be sure to get enough of, but if you're acutely ill, vitamin C becomes even more important. "Vitamin C might be especially beneficial for critically ill people, particularly those with viral infections, who commonly have lower blood levels of vitamin C compared to healthy people," Patrick says. So in addition to eating plenty of vitamin C-rich foods daily, keep vitamin C in mind during times of illness. Fortunately, Patrick adds, "With some exceptions, oral and intravenous vitamin C supplementation have been shown to be safe, well-tolerated, and have low toxicity."21 from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/29/rhonda-patrick-vitamin-c.aspx At the end of 2021, the term “mass formation psychosis” had a value of 0 on Google Trends, meaning there’s not enough data for the term to even make it on the charts. Then, on December 31, Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology,1 mentioned it on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience viewed by more than 50 million people.2 The term, which provides a coherent explanation of why so many people have fallen victim to the unbelievable lies and propaganda of the mainstream COVID-19 narrative, went viral. On January 2, 2022, mass formation psychosis reached a value of 100 on Google Trends,3 which means it had reached peak popularity. Google Manipulates Reality Around ‘Mass Formation Psychosis’The technocrats quickly took action, adding a rarely seen warning that popped up for those searching the suddenly popular phrase in the early days of 2022. It read, “It looks like these results are changing quickly. If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for results to be added by reliable sources."4 In reality, the topic is not new. Mattias Desmet, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium, who has 126 publications to his name,5 has been studying it for many years, and the phenomenon actually dates back over a hundred years. One of the earliest works on the subject, according to Malone, is an 1841 book titled, “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds,” which details “the irrational behaviors of crowds.”6 You won’t find any of this — at least not easily — if you search on Google for “mass formation psychosis” today, however, as it’s all been effectively buried by Big Tech. What you will find is the results of an orchestrated and carefully vetted links to sites that help control the mainstream narrative around the topic. This not only serves to twist the meaning of the term but also to discredit Malone, a classic Orwellian Doublespeak move. The top search results include headlines like “An anti-vaxx scientist said 'mass formation psychosis' caused people to follow COVID-19 measures. Psychologists say there's no such thing,” (Business Insider7) and “Fact Check-No evidence of pandemic ‘mass formation psychosis’, say experts speaking to Reuters” (Reuters8). Rogan’s interview with Malone was also taken down by YouTube. Outrageously, one of the “expert fact checkers” used by the AP to discredit Malone and mass formation psychosis is Jay Van Bavel, a New York University assistant professor of psychology and neural science who not only stated he had never heard of the phrase and could not find it in peer-reviewed literature, but also has encouraged the use of “behavioral science” to “nudge” and “motivate” people to obey the official COVID-19 narrative.9 On January 10, Malone wrote:10
What Is Mass Formation Psychosis?In the video above, you can see Thomas Patrick Carrigan interview Malone, Desmet and board-certified internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough about mass formation psychosis. Don’t be confused by the term mass, it is just psychological speak for crowd. Crowd formation is the same as mass formation. Formation is the sudden cohesion of the group (the crowd) around a shared consensus. Desmet says he prefers the term mass formation — not mass formation psychosis — because he doesn’t want to use a diagnostic term and the word “psychosis” has a stigma and medical meaning attached to it. Either way, both terms have the same meaning, which involves the formation of a hypnotic state. Desmet’s upcoming book, “The Psychology of Totalitarianism,” explains that mass formation has grown over the last 200 years. On a grand scale, mass formation leads to totalitarian thinking and, eventually, to totalitarian states. He details the four conditions needed to achieve mass formation on a large scale, which include cognitive dissonance and psychological pain — factors that often leave people desperate for change and a way to escape:11
According to an abridged excerpt from Desmet’s book:12
The More Absurd It Gets, the More Successful It Will BePeople want to remove their feelings of social isolation and anxiety. Toward that end, mass formation involves obsessive focusing on a failure of the normal world or a particular event or person, who becomes the focus of the attention — and the more absurd the narrative becomes, the better. Desmet says in the video above:13
Desmet says that the more absurd the narrative and its surrounding measures become, the more successful they will be for a certain part of the population, usually about 30%, because the measures function as rituals, through which an individual shows that they are less important than the collective masses:14
Another irony is that the higher the level of education, the more susceptible people usually are to mass formation, Desmet says. “The people who try to get advanced degrees are usually people who think that social status is very important. And that could be the reason they are inclined to conform with the mainstream narrative.”15 It may also explain why so many physicians and academics have bought into the propaganda, ignoring science in favor of the collective narrative. Fanaticism Allows for Lies, ManipulationThose who are under the spell of mass formation psychosis are so convinced that their narrative will save the world that they feel justified in using manipulative tactics and lies to protect it, Desmet explains, exemplifying Plato’s noble lie — the notion that, in the case of high-status individuals or designated public leaders, it’s acceptable to lie if the lie is made in the interest of the common good. According to Desmet:16
Who’s the leader today? “The experts. The authority and the technocrats you could say,” Desmet says. The way out involves having the courage to speak the truth, even though doing so is typically extremely dangerous. The ancient Greeks had a word for this — parrhesia, which is having the courage to speak the truth in spite of danger. But as Desmet explains, while those who try to reveal knowledge that is in conflict with the narrative put themselves at risk, if no one speaks the truth, society cannot continue to function. Four Steps to End Mass Formation PsychosisThe first step to ending mass formation, which is also the most important, is speaking out against the official narrative if things seem off to you. “If you want to make the mass formation less deep, then it is quintessential that there are people who continue to speak out and [are a] dissonant voice in society, because this will disrupt the process of mass formation,” says Desmet.17 The second step involves connecting with other people in the real world who have a similar viewpoint as you or a feeling that something is wrong. Forming small networks in your community will help you break the mass formation cycle. It’s important, however that when you speak to people about the truth that you don’t try to take them back to the “old normal,” because, remember, this is what drove them to mass formation in the first place. According to Desmet:18
In short, Desmet recommends the following four steps to break free from mass formation psychosis and enact favorable change one social circle at a time:
The last step is an important one, because if you use aggression of any form, even in the way you speak, it will only be used as justification by the masses that they were right to oppose you. Nonviolent resistant is the most efficient strategy as you try to resist and defy the mass formation psychosis around you. How to Reverse Mass Formation PsychosisWhile I deeply appreciate Desmet’s and Malone’s description of how the cabal has been able to fool most of the population, this is the best description of how they pulled all the brainwashing and the solution of how to avoid it right out of the matrix. We all have the capacity to generate reality with our minds and this is what the cabal has hijacked so effectively. Why? Because never in the history of mankind have the tools existed to pull it off. First radio and then TV spread the message, but then social media leveraged the effectiveness of the brainwashing exponentially. I would recommend watching this video a few times and sharing it with your friends, as it will help them understand — how we can repair the damage. We need to free our mind from their hijacking and use it for constructive purposes — not destructive ones. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/29/google-mass-formation-psychosis.aspx Breast cancer rates dropped by half in tandem with the discontinuation of hormone replacement therapy, according to a study published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The study was reported in the Telegraph in the United Kingdom. The Telegraph said:
The study's authors said these numbers support existing evidence of the link between HRT and breast cancer. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/10/21/breast-cancer-rates-fell-when-regular-hormone-therapy-decreased.aspx In January of this year, Oprah Winfrey invited Suzanne Somers on her show to talk about health tips. The 62-year-old actress uses bio-identical estrogen cream and progesterone on her other arm two weeks a month. The result has been a media firestorm condemning both Somers and Oprah, including the hit piece in Newsweek linked below. The authors of the piece, Weston Kosova and Pat Wingert, argue that bio-identical hormones are just as synthetic as conventional hormones -- although they don’t much discuss the fact that conventional hormones are actually different from the 17-beta-estradiol made by your body, while the bio-identical hormones are 17-beta-estradiol itself. The real reason for the attacks on bio-identical hormones? This resembles an incident a few years ago when the cattle industry actually sued Oprah Winfrey just for talking about Mad Cow Disease. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/06/18/media-blast-oprah-for-supporting-alternative-medicine.aspx
The contraceptive pill may disrupt women's natural ability to choose a partner genetically dissimilar to themselves. This could result in difficulties when trying to conceive, an increased risk of miscarriage and long intervals between pregnancies. Passing on a lack of diverse genes to children could also weaken their immune systems.
Humans tend to be attracted to those with a dissimilar genetic make-up to themselves, maintaining genetic diversity, which is signaled by subtle odors. A research team analyzed how the contraceptive pill affects odor preferences, and found that the preferences of women who began using the contraceptive pill shifted towards men with genetically similar odors. Not only could genetic similarity in couples lead to fertility problems, but it could ultimately lead to the breakdown of relationships when women stop using the contraceptive pill, as odor perception plays a significant role in maintaining attraction to partners, researchers said. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/26/how-contraceptive-pill-influences-partner-choice.aspx For nearly a year, experts have noted that the COVID shots cannot establish herd immunity to end the pandemic, as the gene transfer injections do not prevent infection or transmission. It's not rocket science, yet health officials and government leaders around the world have irrationally claimed otherwise, and censored any and all — regardless of credentials — who dared to suggest alternative approaches. Now, all of a sudden, the narrative is rapidly changing, with loads of these same individuals — truthfully, if you can believe that — acknowledging that the COVID "vaccines" cannot end the pandemic and that we need to learn to live with the virus. Some have even started speaking out against repeated boosters, at least at intervals of three to four months. It seems a major driver for this U-turn in the pandemic narrative is the emergence of the Omicron variant. While incredibly infectious, it causes only mild cold symptoms in the vast majority of people, so it's essentially ripping through populations, leaving natural herd immunity in its wake. As a result, many are now claiming the end of the pandemic is in sight.1 Moving on From COVIDIn a January 15, 2022, Trial Site News article, Mary Beth Pfeiffer reported:2
According to Ryan, nearly 100% of COVID cases in the Boston area are now Omicron, which is good news, considering it doesn't appear to bring with it any of the more severe side effects seen with previous strains, including Delta. In New England, the current outbreak is predicted to rapidly wane and disappear during the month of February 2022. Nationwide, Omicron was reportedly responsible for about 73% of all cases as of early January 2022.3 Pfeiffer also reports that, according to Ryan, booster shots will not be needed for Omicron, as by the time a dedicated injection is released, the wave will already be over and done with. Ryan is reported to have stated that "we're all going to get it, which will give us the immunity we need to get through it," referring to the Omicron infection. Ryan's comments fly in the face of mainstream medical recommendations, which near-universally call for boosters for everyone, including children. Clearly, however, Ryan makes a lot of sense. The boosters, while seemingly able to temporarily raise a double-jabbed person's resistance against Omicron, it's designed to protect against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain that no longer exists. Overall, it appears the only reason a double-jabbed person would need a booster against Omicron is because the first two doses impaired their immune system such that they're now more vulnerable, even to a milder strain. This downward spiral of negative immunity can only continue if people continue to take boosters, especially mismatched ones. Vaccine-Induced Herd Immunity Called Out as 'Myth'In early August 2021, the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, professor Sir Andrew Pollard, actually spoke out against the idea that the COVID shots were the answer everyone was looking for. At the time, he referred to the idea that vaccine-induced herd immunity against COVID was "mythical." As reported by Yahoo! News, August 10, 2021:4
During that same APPG meeting, professor Paul Hunter from the University of East Anglia stressed that variants capable of evading the COVID shots were "an absolute inevitability." Pollard and Hunter both turned out to be correct, as Omicron's vaccine-evading capacity has now been documented. Most People Are 'Done' With COVIDThe reprieve Omicron provides could not have come at a better time. At this point, after two years of repetitive fearmongering, most people have simply had enough. It's not often you put a hold on life for this long, and the general consensus appears to be that people are ready to brave life even if the threat of COVID remains. In a December 22, 2021, Atlantic opinion piece, Yascha Mounk, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, noted that "No matter the severity of the variant, the appetite for shutdowns or other large-scale social interventions simply isn't there." He goes on:5
Mounk, like others, pointed out that if Omicron turned out to be as mild as it initially appeared — which has been borne out since then — then natural herd immunity would develop as the highly infectious virus spread like wildfire. With that baseline of natural immunity, populations would, in the future, be far better equipped to handle any new strains that emerge, "without a significant increase in mortality." Living With RiskMounk goes on to discuss how, over time, people get used to and learn to live with all sorts of risks, including direct threats to life and limb, and that's exactly the kind of resiliency we see building and spreading now:6
Do You Have a Cold, Flu or COVID?Based on what I'm seeing around me, it seems the prediction that Omicron will "get" just about everyone is likely to be true. People are sick in droves. The good news is that there's little panic surrounding these cases. Most people are now realizing that there's no need. That said, I still recommend treating any COVID symptoms early and aggressively, just in case. As mentioned, the vast majority of SARS-CoV-2 infections are now related to Omicron, and the core symptoms are near-indistinguishable from the common cold and/or influenza. The most commonly reported symptoms of Omicron infection are:7
In addition to these, other symptoms commonly reported with SARS-CoV-2 infection, up to and including Delta, include:
A key difference in symptomology between Delta and Omicron is that Omicron does not appear to cause the loss of taste and smell, which often occurs with Delta infection (as with previous strains). Fortunately, Omicron also does not seem to be associated with blood clots, like previous strains (especially the initial ones), and it's also far less likely to cause severe lung infection and damage.9,10 Treat Symptoms EarlyConsidering the uncertainties around diagnosis, it's best to treat any cold or flu-like symptoms early. At first signs of symptoms, start treatment. Perhaps it's the common cold or a regular influenza, maybe it's the much milder Omicron, but since it's hard to tell, your best bet is to treat symptoms as you would treat earlier forms of COVID. Considering how contagious Omicron is, chances are you're going to get it, so buy what you'll need now, so you have it on hand if/when symptoms arise. And, remember, this applies for those who have gotten the jab as well, since you're just as likely to get infected — and perhaps even more so. Early treatment protocols with demonstrated effectiveness include:
Based on my review of these protocols, I've developed the following summary of the treatment specifics I believe are the easiest and most effective. >>>>> Click here <<<<< from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/28/end-of-the-pandemic.aspx |
