DR. ERIC BERG: out of all the things that are involved in the healing and repair process, we need amino acids. We need bioavailable protein, which is going to be animal protein

01:28. In fact it's difficult to heal and repair your body without animal protein, especially red meat and today I'm going to prove it in past videos I have talked about eggs and I eat a lot of eggs and eggs are awesome but if we compare eggs to me there is some significant differences and that's what I want to talk about.

01:48. Lots of benefits from having salmon and fish which I have once or twice a week salmon and sardines are very high in Omega-3 which is good, but red meat or beef has more protein and has a lot of other things that can help you heal.  If we look at the whole picture, I will say out of all the things that are involved in the healing and repair process, we need amino acids.  We need bioavailable protein, which is going to be animal protein and we need concentrated protein.

WHICH IS HEALTHIER, RED MEAT OR EGGS?

If we just compare red meat to eggs, 

Red meat is twice as concentrated in amino acids.

Red meat has 1.5 times greater iron.

Red meat has 2.2x greater magnesium.

Beef has 3.7 times greater amounts of zinc.

Red meat has 50 times more vitamin B3 than eggs.

Red meat has double the amount of B1.

Beef has 4 times the amount of B6.

Red meat has twice the amount of B12.

Beef has 4 times the amount of vitamin K.

Red meat has 5 times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids. 

So the ratios of red meat are going to be better.  Not processed meat from factory farms things like deli meats bologna Etc he's talking about grass-fed beef.

Beef compared to chickens that are pasture-raised, the chickens are still fed grains, which kind of throws off the Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratios.  That being said eggs are also a good source of protein.  As a side note, beef liver has 73 times more vitamin A than eggs.

03:22  Another nutrient that eggs have that is better than beef is choline.  Eggs have a little more than double the amount of B2.

12x more folate than in beef.  

Beef has the X Factor, 4 X-Factors actually.  

X-FACTOR #1: CARNITINE.  Carnitine helps transport fats into your cells, into the energy Factory called the mitochondria to help you get more energy.  Without carnitine, the cells can't get energy from fat.  Carnitine gives you that quick energy when you're exercising and since we're talking about a really important transport of fuel to the mitochondria that is essential for healing and repair of your tissues, not only do we need all the essential amino acids as the raw material we also need other things like those vitamins.   

If we compare 100 G of red meat to 100 G of eggs, the amount of carnitine would be 150 mg versus only 7 mg for eggs.  

Lamb is #1 when it comes to carnitine content.  Beef is #2. 

X-FACTOR #2: CREATINE.  Creatine gives us that quick energy.  

When you think pasteurized, think processed. Pasteurization destroys enzymes that break down milk proteins. These proteins can get into your blood and cause an immune response, or allergies

Pasteurization destroys enzymes, denatures antimicrobial and immune stimulating components, diminishes nutrient availability, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamin C, B6 & B12, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens & is associated with allergies, increased… https://t.co/Luh7Gt1JNq

Most dairy products found in your local grocery stores are pasteurized from cheeses to yogurt to milk to Keifer to cream and half & half for your coffee.  We seek out dairy for the beneficial bacteria to build and create healthy gut bacteria.  This is not an easy process once we've lost beneficial bacteria, like bifidobacteria, from injuries, diseases, or poor diet.  

Wejolyn points out that pasteurization

destroys enzymes, denatures antimicrobial and immune stimulating components, diminishes nutrient availability, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamin C, B6 & B12, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens & is associated with allergies, increased. 

That's a bit of damage.  So is it worth it to just pick up that package of goat cheese with herb at the deli section of your grocery chain?  

Check out dairy products that are not pasteurized.

2 weeks later it’s the raw milk still holding its ground… the natural enzymes and probiotics in it have not been killed via pasteurization or homogenization…. pic.twitter.com/u3Cz8r37gQ

— Wejolyn 🇺🇸 (@Wejolyn) November 19, 2023

And that's after 2 weeks.  The dairy fats hold and don't break down, which means the nutrition is preserved.  In fact, according to Lee Dexter, it's pasteurization that is responsible for people having milk or dairy allergies.  How, why?  

According to Lee Dexter, microbiologist and owner of White Egret Farm goat dairy in Austin, Texas, ultra-pasteurization is an extremely harmful process to inflict on the fragile components of milk. Dexter explains that milk proteins are complex, three-dimensional molecules, like tinker toys. They are broken down and digested when special enzymes fit into the parts that stick out. Rapid heat treatments like pasteurization, and especially ultra-pasteurization, actually flatten the molecules so the enzymes cannot do their work. If such proteins pass into the bloodstream (a frequent occurrence in those suffering from “leaky gut,” a condition that can be brought on by drinking processed commercial milk), the body perceives them as foreign proteins and mounts an immune response. That means a chronically overstressed immune system and much less energy available for growth and repair.

best sources of copper are liver, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, pure chocolate not the stuff watered down with sugar and milk, and spirulina

 

For everything from anemia to headaches to allergies to having healthy bones and just feeling great all the time, copper is an incredibly important nutrient and this is how to know if you're getting enough.

How to manage your copper status to make sure you're getting enough, not too much, and fix any problems and make sure that whatever your solutions are that they're working.  So copper, when you do not have enough you can get anemia that looks just like iron deficiency anemia but isn't, or that looks just like B12 and folate deficiency anemia, but isn't.  In fact, you can get malabsorption of iron from copper deficiency that actually causes iron deficiency, and the problem might not be that you don't have enough iron in your diet, it might be that you're not getting enough copper in your diet to absorb the iron, so you could have anemia from that as well as the many other problems of iron deficiency itself.  You can have low white blood cells, especially in neutrophils; you can have high cholesterol; you could get osteoporosis because copper is needed to support your bones.  You could get histamine intolerance or a greater burden of allergies than you would otherwise have.  You could have poor pigmentation of your skin and hair and neurotransmitter imbalances, like low adrenaline or high serotonin that might leave you feeling like you're not your best.  So what do you do about this?

1:44. Well, the first thing is look at your diet and see whether the dietary pattern that you have is supporting getting enough copper.  The absolute best sources of copper are liver, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, pure chocolate not the stuff watered down with sugar and milk, and spirulina.  A tier below that of very good sources of copper are most shellfish besides oysters, remember oysters are the best, whole grains, legumes, and potatoes.  Diets that are low in these foods are likely to contribute to a copper deficiency, but soil variation is very large, and all these foods, if they are grown in low copper soil, could be much less likely to give you enough copper.  And if you're consuming--if you're not consuming enough of those foods and you are consuming foods from copper-deficient soils, then that makes you very predisposed to copper deficiency.  Zinc supplementation, especially over 45 mg a day and with a zinc-to-copper ratio greater than 15 to 1, can be a cause of copper deficiency.  Methylation can be a cause of copper deficiency, and I'll link in the description of this episode to my methylation resources.  

SOURCES THAT CAUSE COPPER DEFICIENCY

3:08. Other sources of copper deficiency that are not dietary in nature include the use of antacids, proton pump inhibitors, gastric bypass surgery, and any digestive problems that are focused on the upper part of the GI tract like the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine.  And although there's limited evidence for this, it seems to be the case that high doses of Vitamin C can impair copper absorption.  

COPPER TOXICITY?

On the other hand, there is copper toxicity in general from diet.  I do not believe copper toxicity is a concern.  If you are supplementing with copper over 10 mg, that could pose a potential risk of copper toxicity.  I think it's best to keep copper supplements under 10 mg,  preferably under 3 mg a day and it's always best to get your copper from food, and when you do you're benefiting by the fact that the copper is mixed with other minerals, especially zinc, which protects against copper toxicity.  It's extremely unlikely to get copper toxicity from food. There are high copper levels in certain water systems, but when they get to the point where they can cause copper toxicity usually drinking that water is going to make you nauseated and it's usually leaving blue colors all over the place.  If it's really bad, you can see the blue even coming out in your clothing; so usually you have a warning sign, and certainly using a water filter will generally protect you against too much copper coming from your water supply. 

COPPER TESTS 

4:51. The most important test of copper status is serum copper this can be supplemented with serum ceruloplasmin; they tend to go together.  And so you're usually not getting additional information by combining them. And serum copper tends to be more sensitive to deficiency, so you always want to at least get serum copper but it can be helpful to corroborate it with serum ceruloplasmin.  But always get serum copper give that the priority in general low serum copper and low serum ceruloplasmin indicated copper deficiency most of the time.  From what I've seen, I think you want to tend to be in the middle of the range because I have seen indications of copper deficiency when people are in the lower 20 or 30% of the range.  It's important to note a a couple limitations of these tests first estrogen increases serum ceruloplasmin and tends to increase serum copper as well and that means that there's going to be some fluctuation of copper levels with the menstrual cycle and copper levels are generally twice hi during pregnancy as they are for women who are not pregnant and using hormone replacement therapy estrogen and HRT can raise copper levels by 30 to 90%, and unfortunately there really isn't any clear research to develop a separate reference range for women experiencing high estrogen under these conditions, so what we can say is that if your copper levels are running a little high and you can explain it with estrogen you can probably dismiss it because it's normal.  It's probably all the more true in women than in men that you want to be at least towards the middle of the range for copper because if you're at the low and of the range and that might be close to deficiency that's all the more true if you would expect your estrogen levels to be bringing the copper up higher.

GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO COPPER DEFICIENCY

There are two genetic disorders of copper metabolism Menkes Disease and Wilson's Disease

Methylene Blue is a dye. I've heard of it before but didn't take the time to learn how a dye can rebuild the mitochondria post-COVID or post-vaccine. Grateful to Dr. Mobeen Syed, or Dr. Been, for pointing to a few studies for my edification. Thanks to munge or Craigh64 for alerting me to this lesson sponsored by the FLCCC.

So then what are the benefits of Methylene Blue?  Upon recommendation from Dr. Paul E. Marik, Dr. Been dug a little deeper on what Methylene Blue is and what its benefits are.

Dr. Been says that Methylene Blue is neuroprotective.  So is curcumin.  So is red meat with all of its B12.  So is Allithiamine, the fat-soluble B1.  

Mitochondria is a target of neuroprotection, a benefit if Methylene Blue.  

Here is a decent explanation. So in its role as a neuroprotector, Methylene Blue rejuvenates the mitochondria.  How?  Like this,

Methylene Blue quickly crosses the blood-brain barrier. It improves mitochondrial efficiency and respiration, acts as an antioxidant, and increases brain cell lifespan, resulting in improved memory and mood. At low dosages, Methylene Blue is used to enhance mitochondrial function, increase cerebral blood flow, and acts as an antidepressant. 

Don't other products do this?  Yes.  There are a score of products that can.  Here's a short list.  

Urolithin A.  Never heard of it.  What is it?  

The Mitochondria know how much oxygen is in its system.  If there is less oxygen, then it has to release nitric oxide to open up the blood vessels.  NO is a vasodilator, and so it relaxes the smooth muscles.  It also helps with preventing clotting.  Also prevents inflammation.  So generally, nitric oxide in a good healthy, oxygenated environment needs to stay at a baseline.  

20:10  If there's an injury--spike protein, viral damage--there's less oxygen supply, or hypoxia.  One consistent problem in the vaccinated is less oxygen of brain tissue.  [This would be a tell-tale sign that Mitochondria helps manage the blood flow through nitric oxide. 

When the mitochondria is damaged, for example, it will produce less ATP.  When energy levels are reduced for a cell, the cell will go into a crisis, and even more inflammatory events will occur.  At the same time, more ROS, or electrons, will get produced and more will escape, wreak havoc, and destroy the cell by welding fats and proteins into dysfunction.  

Low dose Methylene Blue, given systemically, meaning in low dose, MB acts as an electron donor.  [That's exactly the role of vitamin C.  Exactly.]  As the machinery freezes up, MB shows up and has a propensity to enter neurons as opposed to other tissues, and it enters the mitochondria and acts as an electron donor directly without having to be harvested from food or other nutrients.  Interesting.  Revives the electron transport system, allows the mitochondria to get water, blood, and oxygen, effectively restoring the cell and preventing inflammatory outcomes.  So it's an anti-inflammatory?  It improves cell survival.  How long does it take for a cell to die?

Good Discussion on Niacin

Melatonin is key for healing.
Niacin is key for DNA repair.

But this is not the whole picture sadly.

For example magnesium is the #1 thing needed. Supplementing melatonin reduces down natural production & increases other issues.

The protocol does not use systems awareness.

How many taking high niacin day after day will end up even lower on B12 or B9 (even though stored)?

Without understanding the ratios between these things this can cause higher homocysteine (increase stroke/heart issue risks), pernicious anemia & nervous system issues. Not good.

"TBI can be attenuated by vitamin B-12 treatment through its beneficial role on axon regeneration after nerve injury."

broad-spectrum antiviral (ribavirin), anti-hepatitis B virus (telbivudine), two vitamins (vitamin B12 and nicotinamide{B3})

— Bean Davidson *advanced B12 and cofactors please* (@bean_b12) September 9, 2022

Okay, so this should be of help to those trying to fix this and that.  I'm not familiar with those two drugs--Ribavirin and Telbivudine--but I am familiar with B12 and B3, Niacin.  Niacin has already been proven to be an effective anti-COVID symptom therapy.  It is often referred in the literature to a clot buster.  In addition, it keeps any of the spike proteins from adhering to tissue.  So if you've taken the vaccine, this is one function that you'll want to avail yourself of.  The other compound, B-12, is almost exclusively an excellent nerve tonic and nerve regenerator.  Yep, a nerve regenerator.  In this era of COVID, we hear a lot about muscle wasting and shrinkage, like brain shrinkage.  Well, B12 maintains brain volume if you take it regularly.  One of the benefits of eating nutrient dense animal protein is that you're getting adequate B-12.  NCBI reports that 

Vitamin B12 has been reported to promote axon growth of neuronal cells after peripheral nerve injury, which is currently used for the treatment of peripheral nerve damage in the clinical trial. Thus, we hypothesized that TBI can be attenuated by vitamin B-12 treatment through its beneficial role on axon regeneration after nerve injury. 

So if you're looking for a compound to regrow nerve tissue, look no further than B12.  

DR. ERIC BERG: “There is actually no real estrogen or progesterone in a birth control pill. What you do have is a synthetic version altered in a way to mimic estrogen and progesterone.”

Thank you to Mary Wicker from LifeSite News @ LewRockwell.com.

 

Dr. Eric Berg said the long-term effects of removing natural hormones from a woman’s body are quite dangerous, negatively affecting menopause, bone function, and even longevity.

(LifeSiteNews) – A popular dietary expert on YouTube released a new video that explains the dangers of artificial birth control and advocates instead for a natural form of family planning.

Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor and dietary expert with over 8 million subscribers on YouTube, posted a YouTube video with a discussion on the “dark side of the birth control pill” while exposing the negative effects the pill has on women and offering a natural alternative.

“There is actually no real estrogen or progesterone in a birth control pill,” Berg said. “What you do have is a synthetic version altered in a way to mimic estrogen and progesterone.”

Berg went on to say that what women do not realize is that replacing naturally produced estrogen and progesterone with an artificial version can lead to various complications.

Among numerous health risks, the birth control pill can “increase your risk of heart attacks, blood pressure, strokes, blood clots, breast cancer, dementia, depression, acne, mood swings, [and] it can even trigger auto-immune diseases.” He went on to describe how birth control also depletes women of many necessary minerals such as zinc, selenium, and magnesium, and vitamins such as B12.

“What a lot of women don’t realize is when you take this pill, you are shutting down the production of estrogen and progesterone,” he said.

Berg went on to explain that this is a dangerous thing to do because women, unlike men who produce testosterone every day, produce their necessary hormones in “two major spikes.” That is, instead of producing the necessary hormones daily, women produce the hormones at two points during their cycle, one where they see an increase in estrogen, and one where they see an increase in progesterone.

Berg says the long-term effects of removing natural hormones from a woman’s body are quite dangerous, negatively affecting menopause, bone function, and even longevity.

Widespread human misery from contraception-enabled promiscuity

Pro-life and pro-family activists have long warned of the dangers of artificial contraception – as has the Catholic Church, which is the only remaining religion to condemn contraception openly and completely. In addition to the many health dangers of the birth control pill, some of which were outlined by Berg, the broader culture of casual sex that contraception (including non-hormonal barrier methods), has enabled and encouraged has led to widespread misery from promiscuity, increased abortion rates (with abortion regarded as a back-up method of birth control), and skyrocketing rates of sexually transmitted diseases. It has also degraded male-female relationships by giving men access to easy sex with little to no commitment or consequences.

And although artificial birth control is frequently peddled to young women as a way to treat acne or menstrual or hormonal disorders, pro-life and pro-family advocates point out that this approach masks symptoms rather than addresses their underlying cause.

Birth control pills and IUDs can also cause very early abortions. If they fail to prevent fertilization – which is when a whole, distinct, living human being begins to exist – these methods of contraception typically weaken the lining of the uterus so that it is hostile to a newly created human, preventing implantation.

‘An offense against the law of God and of nature’

Even non-Catholic Christians largely opposed contraception until the Lambeth Conference of 1930 infamously approved it in some instances. In Casti Connubii, Pope Pius XII refuted the idea that contraception was ever acceptable, warning that those who “deliberately frustrate” the “natural power and purpose” of the marital act “sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.”

READ: The Church’s total ban on contraception cannot be changed by Pope Francis or anyone else

“Any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the law of God and of nature,” Pius XII wrote, “and those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of a grave sin.”

Instead of artificial birth control, Berg recommended Natural Cycles, an app that allows women to track their cycles and accompanying symptoms in order to avoid or achieve pregnancy. Natural Cycles is “the first FDA cleared birth control app,” its website says, and it tells users trying to avoid pregnancy to use non-hormonal contraception (condoms) “or abstain from sex” on fertile days. (There are a number of methods of menstrual/hormonal cycle tracking that couples can use to achieve or avoid pregnancy without degrading the marital act; Pius XII outlined some of the legitimate reasons for intentionally abstaining from intercourse during the fertile window in his famous Address to Midwives on the Nature of Their Profession.)

READ: Bp. Strickland celebrates Church teaching on contraception amid rumors of papal review

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas has previously reminded Catholics of their duty to respect the Church’s teachings on contraception. On July 26, the anniversary of the publication of Humanae Vitae, Strickland tweeted a reminder to all Catholics to heed the truth in regard to this issue.

“Humanae Vitae, issued in July 54 years ago, taught the Truth that contraception is immoral and does harm to marriage & the family,” he said. “We have lived for more than 1/2 a century with humanity rejecting this Truth & this has done great harm to the human family. Let us heed The Truth!”

OYSTERS: THE MOST NUTRIENT-DENSE FOOD BEHIND LIVER?

If you are deficient in zinc, you could potentially develop something called hypogonadism.  Your gonads actually shrink because you don't have enough zinc.  Testosterone is made by the gonads.  Some say that we shouldn't be consuming shellfish because of the microplastics.  One point on that is that if you eat Pacific Oysters, you'll have the lowest amount of microplastics.  But so is the lack of nutrition in our diet.  And the lack of nutrient-dense food, so we kind of have to balance things out.  Remember, there are no solutions, only trade-offs.  But oysters are literally at the top of the list of nutrient-dense foods.  And when you're trying to build up testosterone, it's not just about increasing that one hormone, it's about supporting the entire endocrine system, all the hormones in the right balance, so this could help you on many different levels.  Oysters are loaded with zinc and copper in the right ratios, tons of B12, iron, vitamin D, B6, omega 3 fatty acids, and choline.  [Sounds like oysters would be a better option than sardines maybe.]  There are other things, too, that can negate or nullify your results.  For example, if you're on a statin drug that blocks cholesterol, which is needed to make cholesterol, that can nullify any foods that you eat or supplements that you take to boost your testosterone.  

FOODS THAT LOWER TESTOSTERONE IN THE BODY:

Soy decreases testosterone. 

Grains, or the phytic acid in them, decreases testosterone.  Phytic acid blocks zinc.  

Low Hydrochloric Acid.  HCL is necessary to absorb trace minerals, especially zinc.  How do you know if you have low HCL?  Well, . . . heartburn, Gerd, indigestion, acid reflux, all are indications of low HCL. 

Sugar: too much sugar, too many refined carbohydrates will kill testosterone. 

Stress.

Lack of sleep is a really big one.  And the more fat you have in your body, the more estrogen that you'll make and the less testosterone that you'll make.  In fact, your body will start converting testosterone into estrogen.

Iron.  Too much iron can really damage the liver and leave you with very low testosterone levels.  Even though oysters are high in iron, 

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO INCREASE TESTOSTERONE

HARDCORE EXERCISE with a lot of SLEEP.  The hormone pathways of testosterone follow the hormone pathways of growth hormones.  If one is higher, the other is higher.  Consuming enough fatty foods: this is why eggs are good, this is why red meats are good.  Butter, too, is good because it's made of cholesterol.

Low dopamine affects the ability to focus and think, while high dopamine causes an overload on the brain’s ability to process information. Here are some of the important functions of dopamine which are all crucial to children with neurodevelopmental disorders:

Motivation

Motor control

Movement

Appetite

Problem-solving

Emotional responses

Sensitivity

ANTI-DOPAMINE RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES

Children with autism, ADHD,  Sensory Processing Disorder,  Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, OCD, ODD or mood disorders may have pathogenic infections that have crossed the blood-brain barrier because of traumatic brain injury or exposure to EMFs (electromagnetic field), toxins or antibiotics. Cross-reactive antibodies created in response to these pathogenic microbes attack the dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia of the brain, causing a fluctuation in dopamine, which results in OCD, tics and other neuropsychiatric symptoms. This is sometimes called autoimmune-mediated basal ganglia dysfunction.

People can have a leaky gut and a leaky brain where not so much that things leak from the brain but that they leak or seep into the brain.  Dr. Walter H. Backes of Maastricht University Medical Center writes 

Blood-brain barrier leakage means that the brain has lost its protective means, the stability of brain cells is disrupted and the environment in which nerve cells interact becomes ill-conditioned. These mechanisms could eventually lead to dysfunction in the brain.”

People worldwide are currently suffering from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)1,2. Increasing evidence has shown that COVID-19 patients not only manifest respiratory-related symptoms, but also develop neurological and psychiatric symptoms, depending on the stage of infection, ranging from headache to cognitive and mood disorders3,4. According to clinical studies, 19% and 14% of COVID-19 patients develop depression and anxiety, respectively5 and 10–20% suffer from cognitive impairment6. Therefore, it is obvious that SARS-CoV-2 somehow affects the central nervous system (CNS), but the molecular and cellular mechanisms are still elusive. Previous studies suspected direct SARS-CoV-2 infection into the CNS, as SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and transcripts were detected in post-mortem brains. Then, as a port of CNS entry, SARS-CoV-2 invasion via olfactory receptor neurons was proposed7. However, a recent study using unbiased transcriptome analysis of the post-mortem brain tissue of COVID-19 patients did not succeed in detecting molecular traces of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the brain parenchyma8 negating direct SARS-CoV-2 infection into the CNS parenchyma. More recently, it was reported that intravenously administered radiolabeled S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S1 protein) can translocate into brain parenchyma by crossing the blood–brain barrier9. Therefore, this suggests the possibility that S1 proteins translocated into the brain parenchyma may affect brain functions, which might underlie the neurological or psychiatric symptoms of COVID-19 patients. The possibility was examined by introducing S1 proteins into mouse brains. We showed that the injection of S1 protein into mouse hippocampus induced cognitive deficits and anxiety-like behaviors. As mechanisms, we found that SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein exerted non-cell autonomous hippocampal neuronal cell death by inducing interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) expression from glial cells

IS SHRINKAGE THE RESIDUALS FROM CLOTTING?

Thanks to a new study from the UK we are now beginning to uncover the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the brain. This study documents significant cortical gray matter loss, equivalent to nearly 10 years of aging.  https://t.co/dydmqHMBLN

There's got to be some way to reverse this, some way to restore the brain back to pre-COVID levels.  Otherwise, we're going to acquire a population that has a fixed look of consternation on its face, a forgetful population, one that has difficulty planning, forecasting, and lacks initiative.  

Unfortunately, I don't think there are quick fixes.  On the contrary, it will take maybe a year or two with adequate protein, targeted nutritional supplements like fish oils, B12, magnesium, vitamin D, and C.  This is a war on the brain.  The first concern we were alarmed to was the clotting.  We were told that the clotting was taking place in the veins, then in the capillaries where the blood runs the slowest.  Imagine if you had a blood or fibrin clot in your capillaries, that space between organs and within organs.  To treat clots, many of us ran to Nattokinase, garlic, and other enzymes that dissolve the clots and the proteins that cause them.  But what if you eliminate or get the clotting under control yet are still faced with the residual results of clotting, like shrinkage?  If your blood vessels get clotted, doesn't that mean that blood to the different organs is going to be insufficient?  And if the blood is insufficient to the different organs, won't that cause some kind of contraction to the organ, or shrinkage of it, particularly to organs with a dense vascular system like your brain?  I am not hearing or seeing anything about this in the media.  Though I am still hearing about origin stories or how the government kept the remedies like Ivermectin from the pharmacies and kept early treatments away from people.  These are the reports I am hearing, nothing about fixing things.  Doctors call it "Long-COVID" but how do you characterize that?  Wouldn't brain and organ shrinkage be part of "Long-COVID"?  

I mean I don't know about you, but shrinkage would seem to be the end result of months of poorly or untreated spike proteins and COVID.  Not only did I see accelerated aging, but I also saw shrinkage, contraction of cranial size, a narrowing let's say, of the head.  I saw ears droop.  I saw the nose droop in a man in his 60s.  This is the clotting effects or the damaging effects of poor circulation caused by the irradiated endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, the site of all of the clotting.  

So the goal then is to increase the cortical gray matter of the brain.  I've already cited B12.  At least according to the literature, that stuff preserves and protects and increases the mass of nerve cells, so you can't go wrong with starting with that.  Benfotiamine is another brain nutrient that works to re-awaken areas of the brain.  It's been called the answer to Alzheimer's by Bill Sardi before.  That dude was so ahead of his time.   

Dark chocolate may play a role in preventing shrinkage in the cerebral cortex.  A little skeptical in something that easy and simple to consume.  

Chocolate allows increase blood flow to the cerebral cortex which is the part of the brain that shrinks quickest with aging. Dark chocolate with at least 72% cacao does this best. 

Avoid Dutch chocolate & milk chocolate; they are mostly sugar. https://t.co/SJtewOHyaO

The Cerebellum, the "little brain" in Latin, is that handball-sized part of the brain at the back of the Medulla Oblongata.  The Medulla Oblongata controls the autonomic nervous system, that network of nerves that automatically pulses currents to all of your vital organs that allows you to live and breathe and pump blood without you even thinking about it.  One thing that might be kind of interesting to know is that the Cerebellum has "the highest concentration of neuronal cells, more than the rest of the brain combined."  Interesting to know, so knowing how to preserve the Cerebellum and what its functions are would make for an interesting blog post. 

Meditation helps to increase blood flow to the cerebral cortex. 

A research in Harvard showed that “MEDITATION” causes the brain cerebral cortex to be thickened. “Increase in gray matter density”. Because meditation increases blood flow to some regions. pic.twitter.com/2MHeQSG0dZ

"MASKS REPRESENT SLOW SUFFOCATION . . . HEALTH WILL BE DEPRESSED, AND DEATH FROM ALL CAUSES WILL INCREASE"

Acupuncturist, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and Pastoral Medicine, Dr. Mark Sircus is out with an excellent piece slamming the use of masks at business establishments and civic assemblies around the world.  It is excellent.  If you are forced to wear a mask by your employer, this is a must-read.  

In the opening of his letter, he laments how the fools we've granted power to have found a way to control more and more of our lives from our social interaction right down to how and what we breathe.  And their hysterical prescription for handling a common virus is killing people, killing more people than any virus they concoct could.  Dr. Sircus begins, 

They did it this time. A group of men and women executed a well thought out plan to drive the health of the human race into the toilet. Attacking the very basics of life, they have deprived people, en mass, of the life/health-giving rays of the sun (depressing vitamin D levels) with their lock-downs. And through wearing masks, public health officials are forcing the public into hypoxic breathing conditions. Wearing a mask reduces the oxygen we breathe in and increases the CO2 intake.

Dr. Sircus reminds us that the masks cut off the amount of oxygen that is available to us, a kind of mandated, self-imposed slow suffocation, while we are forced to inhale more amounts of our own CO2.  This is not healthy folks.  And let's say that it's not healthy.  Many of us would endure mild discomfort for the sake of a deadly virus to pass.  But again, that's not how viruses work.  That's not how immunity works.  And that's not how masks work.  Sircus points to the YouTube video made by a gentleman from Canada, a man whom it is difficult to find any information on other than from the owner of the YouTube channel on which he appears.  The YouTube channel owner is Gareth Icke, and the video has only 46,000 views as of July 10, 2020.  Though the idea is gaining some traction, it certainly hasn't reached viral status.  Which means that it's going to take some effort to get that message out.  

Sircus writes

We've already seen the video presented by Canadian, There was a video showing people testing masks for the quality of air in terms of oxygen and CO2. The video has been removed (no surprise there) because it showed that wearing a mask is a health hazard. See the details below. And here is a video of Dr. Rashid Buttar giving a passionate presentation of the dangers of wearing masks. His words are perhaps crude, but he hits the right points. 

This video is excellent.  And though it may confirm some biases, for I develop sinus congestion each time I put one on, it also corroborates similar observations by lots of other medical officials, including Dr. Fauci.

Dr. Sircus asks some poignant questions that no company manager or few medical officials are even asking.  He asks

What will be the effect will be of depriving oxygen to billions of people for years? How happy will that make people? Or inhaling dangerous amounts of CO2, what is that going to do to peoples’ health after several years or even after only a few weeks or months. 

Here is the evidence that wearing a mask is bad for you

Decreasing the amount of oxygen people are breathing, by forcing people to wear masks, is cruel and medically stupid, as Dr. Buttar points out. Under the mask, O2 readings drop from a regular 21 to an unhealthy 17.5, ringing the alarm of the official OSHA devices that measure such things.

The usual amount of CO2 in the air is approximately 400 ppm, when measured around the nose of mouth would be higher. But wear a mask and concentrations shoot up to 5,000. This is not healthy! Carbon dioxide in the air we breathe usually is at 0.0390 percent. When we breathe out, it is 4.0 percent. It is not the concentration we want to be breathing in.

The minimum oxygen concentration in the air required for human breathing is 19.5 percent. Approximately 78 percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen gas, while only about 20.9 percent is oxygen. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, determined the optimal range of oxygen in the air for humans runs between 19.5 and 23.5 percent.

SIDE EFFECTS OF WEARING A MASK

What a searing indictment of the official/unofficial mandate to wear masks: they're slowly suffocating us:

Serious side effects can occur if the oxygen levels drop outside the safe zone. When oxygen concentrations drop from 19.5 to 16 percent, and you engage in physical activity, your cells fail to receive the oxygen needed to function correctly. So wearing masks is not indicated for any reason because masks represent slow suffocation.  Not quite as bad as strangling a person or killing them outright by completely cutting off their breath, but across the board, health will be depressed, and death from all causes will increase.

Please, finish reading his article., where he talks about how vitamin D effectively eliminates death from the coronavirus, and where he calls health officials death officials.  I have often called hospitals abattoirs.

So the question then if wearing masks produces a state of chronic hypoxia in our tissues from lungs to brain to liver, then is there an antidote?  Turns out there are vitamins that can reverse this.  One is the go-to of all vitamins, vitamin D.  PubMed cites a study that reported that, 

Loading cells with vitamin C by DHA treatment [omega 3 fatty acids] resulted in resistance to hypoxia and hypoxia-  reoxygenation-induced cell death associated with the quenching of reactive oxygen species. 

B vitamins also do an excellent job of reversing the effects of hypoxia as reported by PubMed, 

Supplementations of vitamin B6/B12/folate+choline could significantly ameliorate the hypoxia-induced memory deficits, observably decreased Hcy concentrations in serum, and markedly attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation at multiple AD-related sites through upregulating inhibitory Ser9-phosphorylated GSK-3β. Our finding give further insight into combined neuroprotective effects of vitamin B6, B12, folate, and choline on brain against hypoxia. 

P-5-P is vitamin B6.
