"IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN AND KIDS MINGLING TO SPREAD THE VIRUS TO GET HERD IMMUNITY AS FAST AS POSSIBLE"

Great question and answer interview with Knut M. Wittkowski.

Thanks to Lew Rockwell.  Unfortunately, the original video seems to have been taken down.  But here is Episode 2, apparently posted by a 7th party to the original. 


From the interview:

With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children. So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible, and then the elderly people, who should be separated, and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been  exterminated….

We are experiencing all sorts of counterproductive consequences of not well-thought-through policy….

Well, we will see maybe a total of fewer cases—that is possible. However, we will see more cases among the elderly, because we have prevented the school children from creating herd immunity. And so, in the end, we will see more death because the school children don’t die, it’s the elderly people who die, we will see more death because of this social distancing….

If we had herd immunity now, there couldn’t be a second wave in autumn. Herd immunity lasts for a couple of years, typically, and that’s why the last SARS epidemic we had in 2003, it lasted 15 years for enough people to become susceptible again so that a new epidemic could spread of a related virus. Because typically, there is something that requires cross-immunity, so if you were exposed to one of the SARS viruses, you are less likely to fall ill with another SARS virus. So, if we had herd immunity, we wouldn’t have a second wave. However, if we are preventing herd immunity from developing, it is almost guaranteed that we have a second wave as soon as either we stop the social distancing or the climate changes with winter coming or something like that….

[Extreme reactions] cost the US taxpayer $2 trillion, in addition to everything else that it costs, but it also has severe consequences for our social life, and depression is definitely something that we will be researching. I can say for myself, walking through New York City right now is depressing . . . .

VITAMIN C, EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS OF 200MGS, SLOWS DOWN, AMELIORATES, OR PREVENTS COVID-19 & OTHER VIRUSES

Did you hear what he said?  Vitamin C, even small amounts of 200mgs, slows down, ameliorates, or prevents COVID-19 and other viruses. 

Thanks to Lew Rockwell.

"ZINC LOZENGES ARE THE SILVER BULLET AGAINST CORONAVIRUSES"

We should all know the importance of zinc.  Combine it with vitamins D, A, and C, and you're putting your immune system in an excellent position.  Check out these highlights of zinc from Sardi's article: 

Zinc is required to maintain thymus gland function to produce life-long antibodies from T-memory cells.

Dr. James Robb, a pathologist who performed early experiments with coronaviruses back in the 1970s, claims that zinc lozenges are the “silver bullet against coronavirus.”     

You'll definitely want to get a brand of zinc lozenges that taste good since the lozenges, as such, have to sit in your mouth as they break down over several minutes.  The one brand whose taste I am not a fan of is Swanson's Zinc Lozenges.  Sorry.  If you need or want more convincing than the lone quotation above, then check out what Dr. Robb said

4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available. 

More on zinc from Bill Sardi . . . 

Zinc supplementation in the elderly, the high-risk group of coronavirus Infections, lowers illness markedly.  Modern medicine needs to emphasize zinc therapy, especially during epidemics.

Between 15-30 milligrams of zinc in dietary supplements can be safely consumed by adults.  Zinc oxide is poorly absorbed.  Other forms (acetate, gluconate, acetate, picolinate) are preferred. 

Four years ago, I wrote a review of Sardi's valuable scrutiny of zinc, where he cited Canadian cancer researcher, Abraham Hoffer, MD, who concluded that

". . . zinc [in old mice] facilitated a complete recovery of thymus gland function and regrowth of the organ with greater immune efficiency."

I initially posted this video of Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, an Indian-American scientist, engineer, and entrepreneur.  The video came courtesy of Steve Bartin.  And though I liked much of what he said, I recalled an article by Bill Sardi published earlier this week at LewRockwell.com on March 30, 2020.  As I read it, thought about it, and reviewed the article, I realized that Dr. Shiva, though articulate and knowledgeable, is no match for the scientific scrutiny of Bill Sardi.  So what I prefer to do instead is to highlight some of the benefits zinc that Bill Sardi points out.  It's hard to find better, more actionable advice.  

Thanks to Steve Bartin.  "The virus is not some big Godzilla" says Dr. Shiva.  It's B.S.  A virus is coming in, your immune system is compromised . . . ."  But all he is doing is riding on the coattails of Bill Sardi, who already cited why so many people are dying from the coronavirus--a damaged immune system.  And it makes sense.  Most people don't know how to take care of themselves.  They don't even know what an immune system is.  

Dr. Shiva claims that the "Less adaptive immune function, [the] less T-cell activity."  Of course.  But that's a problem that is readily and easily repaired with zinc.  Zinc has the ability to regrow your thymus gland back to its original size.  Zinc doesn't make your thymus gland grow larger than original but back to its original size, and that is something given how it shrinks over our lifetime due to illness, stress, and nutritional deficiencies.  Bill Sardi recently pointed out that the Coronavirus mimics zinc deficiency.  He writes, 

An emergency room physician in New Orleans shares an account of his experience with this dreaded pathogenic virus.   He writes: “You can literally watch it happen in a matter of hours.”  Some 70-90% of hospitalized patients who have to be placed on a ventilator die. 

Talking about insufficient ventilators or how they are becoming cost-prohibitive is the wrong direction.  People will die on ventilators if . . . if they're not also provided with nutritional support to strengthen their innate and adaptive immunity.  

I'd wish that people would stop picking on the elderly BEFORE they're even sick, or at all.  If someone is sick, stay away from them: problem solved.  But the damage has already been done.  The media has dog- whistled the entire population to despise, to be wary of, to thwart any threat by someone with gray hair, wrinkles, or a hunch in their shoulders.  What, as if everyone else who does not fit these descriptors is somehow healthy?  Please.  The narrative initiated in Seattle that elderly folks were dying almost en masse in a Seattle convalescent hospital.  I don't know the details surrounding that hospital or those deaths.  But the most likely scenario is that it wasn't just age plus the coronavirus that killed these people; instead, my guess is that those who passed had lived with chronic disease and malnourished lives that kept them functioning at a very low grade.  And then if they were tossed by family and friends and abandoned, that can't bode very well for their well-being.  

YOUR TEETH ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF INCHES FROM YOUR BRAIN

If you're in the Seattle, Washington area and you're looking for a healthful dentist, one who refuses to use mercury fillings, then Dr. Paul Genung may be of value to you.  I am passing this along as a recommendation from G. Edward Griffin.  The problem with recommending dentists is that any customers might praise their services but not offer any real context for why his services, skills, or products are superior.  The condition or circumstance surrounding one person's crown or filling or extraction will be seriously different from that of other folks.  One dentist's services might cost more, and when people pay more they think that they're getting more, which as we know isn't always the case.  Nothing can bring back extracted teeth.  I guess a root canal can, but given all of the horror stories surrounding that procedure, I would just prefer not to bother.  And that is the thing that goes into dental decisions.  Is it worth the bother?  Is the reward worth any perceived, short or long-term risks associated with the procedure?  Certainly, vitamin C goes a long way in managing mucous membranes of your gums.  So most dental procedures will be cosmetic in nature.  But, hey, we all want to look good.

His video states that “Dr. Genung’s holistic approach to treating patients does not include the use of mercury, fluoride and other toxic substances." Fine.  But you should know that fluoride in small amounts found in toothpastes DOES harden your teeth.  Again, life is about trade-offs.  Given all of the lies and misinformation and unapproved treatment that we allowed as kids sitting in a dentist’s chair, the last thing you want to permit is to allow your teeth to soften and become brittle.  I would never recommend braces, for example.  Ever.  Mainly for the fact that to create the room or space for your teeth to be pulled back, you’ll need to have several teeth extracted, which produces cavitation in your jawbone.  You lose teeth, which serve as excellent nodes for a neural network in your body.  Remember that your teeth are only a couple inches from your brain.  And that space created by excavation does become permanent.  It means that your teeth will move back.  No one explains this process to kids or to their parents.  The orthodontist certainly doesn’t explain this.  If he did, he’d lose business.  He might write up a brochure, but he himself won’t explain what the procedure is like or comment on the long-term effects of tooth excavation on the shape of your head, or how it affects the function of your brain, or how it affects the function of your heart. 

Health-Conscious Dentistry in downtown Seattle offers patients a natural, non-toxic and gentle approach to dental care. For more than 50 years, Dr. Paul Genung has been dedicated to providing the utmost in holistic exceptional patient care, opportunities for learning, and complete oral examinations and procedures as needed, always putting the patient first.

BENEFITS OF CHOOSING HEALTH-CONSCIOUS DENTISTRY

Work directly with a dental professional with more than 50 years in the industry.  Dr. Genung is on-hand and hands-on. He does it all- from cleaning to more complex and complicated procedures, he works directly with his patients, educating them and informing them of alternatives and options for treatment.

Health-Conscious Dentistry focuses on comprehensive, systemically-focused dental care.  Dr. Genung’s holistic approach to treating patients does not include the use of mercury, fluoride and other toxic substances. 

More and more dentists are doing this out of market demand.

Every appointment is like a master class in good dental and systemic health.

Education helps you make informed decisions about your treatment. At Health-Conscious Dentistry, education comes first, giving patients the thorough information they need, to choose what works best for their individual situation. 

Yeah, I think that's a nice promise, but I'd like to see this.  Most dentists are busy.  And if you get any tractable information that is worth its salt, then that is rare.  But otherwise, they're so busy as to keep the conversation or lesson very short.  

If you've got any tiny or growing cavitation in a tooth, try the fluoride toothpaste but also try spraying liquid magnesium on your teeth just before you brush.  Magnesium helps to harden the enamel.  Vitamin D definitely works to harden your teeth; adding magnesium topically is an excellent way to bolster the magnesium supplement you're taking in your multivitamin.
