Strongly recommend you contact any member of your previous Nashville team you can. They will know if anyone else is providing the treatment protocols that they use and where. Anything else you get is going to be a guess or ill informed opinion.

Federal subsidies for Tesla expired 2 years ago. They might be renewed under the 3.2 trillion spending bill but right now you will have to buy a Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota, etc. to get a subsidy for an EV purchase.

The initial "standard of care" established by WHO and the CDC killed people. The original standard of care was to do nothing (no symptomatic support) until you either recovered or your oxygen level (PSO2) dropped to 92% or lower. At that point you were no longer dealing with the virus, you were dealing with the damage inflicted and your body's immune response trying to save you... the cytokine storm. The "standard of care" at that point was intubation/ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is brutal on the lungs and that killed a lot of people.

Today, the official "standard of care" hasn't changed. In reality though, most (but not all) physicians have quietly shifted to initial supportive care and then high pressure oxygen via respirator if needed.

The protocols most successful are the "I-MASS Protocol for Prevention and At Home Treatment" and the Inpatient treatment called "MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol for COVID-19". These were developed by a group of doctors calling themselves "Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance".

Yes! Thank You Jesus... for this post!

I can’t tell you how many times I have started to call his show or send an email only to sense the futility of trying to reach someone so embedded in himself. I resign myself to listening for 2 or 3 minutes hoping to hear something rational before turning the show off.

I’ve listened to Rush Limbaugh for 23 years and never felt the disgust that Erik can engender in 1 minute.

His evident and appalling lack of show prep is glossed over by his pontifications on politics and every other subject know to man, buttressed by all of his “friends” on the left (whom I’m sure consider him a useful idiot). It seems that he just pulls himself up to the microphone and echo what his “good friends” at CNN, MSNBC, et. al. have spewed out lately.

He either does not know his audience or does not care about his audience.

He lives in a bubble of his own making. Someday, it will pop!

Great Awakening is the VOAT replacement site.

I agree about the UK.

If I ever run away from home, I’m going to hide in Wales... or the Lake District.

We will just have to see about Nigel. Whatever happens I believe that he will have a hand in it.

Oh, I see what you mean.

This closely parallels our situation in this country today. We have lots of otherwise tolerable people who are batcrap crazy.

I had a 50 year friend die recently. He lived in Penketh, Lancs. Skype was his friend and he called me regularly, primarily to vent, mostly about government but focused on immigration and what he perceived as the dissolution of Britain as a nation by the people who had benefited the most. It broke his heart.

I believe a majority of native Brits would or will, if given the opportunity, surge into Farage’s camp... like I perceive that we have with Trump.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say that he has become radioactive.

Nigel has been a pariah in some circles for decades but he seems to come out ahead in the end.

Other than the reform party that he is talking about recently, what are you talking about?

“Unfortunately, Farage is not the leader the UK needs.”

I’m reminded of the phrase that you have to go to war with the army that you’ve got.

Farage is about the only person with national stature that could take on, albeit probably reluctantly, this role. He is the best leader with a national presence you’ve got.

He has the proven ability to recognize the issues, frame them in an understandable manner and to quickly rally masses of people around for support. Apparently,
this ability to gather competent people to help is his greatest strength.

His early morning jaunts out into the channel showing the continuing “invasion” of the UK and the complete lack of any pushback by the government is not going unnoticed nor unappreciated.

I would say that if he wants Boris’ job, he can have it.

I vote that you should wait.
Who knows... events may make your case for you.
This ain’t over.

No zinc is being given on any arm of this study, worldwide. This has always been intended to fail so that there would be no compromise on the need to develop vaccine(s) with huge sums of money being spent by world governments.

Think about AID’s... billions have been spent on trying to develop a working vaccine. That ended when a cheaper combination of drugs got the problem under control. The clamor for a vaccine (and the money) faded away. Based on current conditions there is no way to get the hysteria and fear level back up for the big bucks to flow again.

What sort of investments (payoffs) would be justified to prevent a combination of cheap drugs from killing off the ability to extract a few dollars for treating every living soul on the planet... and, if they play their cards right, do it over and over. Billions of dollars are on the line, hydroxychloroquine and zinc, with an antibiotic if needed, can’t be allowed to have credibility and undermine the payoff from this golden goose.

Why else would this simple treatment have most media, most institutional medicine and most politicians attacking it’s use every day. Follow the money... a lot of it is being spread around.

Scientific papers generally tightly focus on a particular subject otherwise they turn into books. This paper focused on the potential for any direct antiviral actions of chloroquine. It’s ability to open up a channel or portal in the cellular membrane through which zinc can pass and the fact that zinc will then interfere with the ability of a virus to hijack the cell’s replication capability is a happy coincidence.

Since one of the paper’s authors is Didier Raoult, the French doctor who is a major proponent of the use of zinc with hydroxychloroquine, you can be assured that the omission of zinc was not an oversight.

I believe that this paper is addressing the fact that the many (I’ll call them “designed to fail”) trials using only chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine actually do report antiviral activity... just not enough to make these drugs an effective treatment for COVID-19... in the dosages and conditions being used. The paper is examining the antiviral properties that the drug(s) actually do have.

As Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has stated, “Hydroxychloroquine is the gun, zinc is the bullet.”

Big pharma and Dr. Fuaci are throwing unloaded guns at the virus. They get a little bruising but no kill shot. However, they are doing a good job of deceiving the public as to what they are trying to accomplish. Their real problem is all of these pesky survivors who got zinc.

Without zinc supplementation, it is a crap shoot as to whether any patient or test subject has sufficient zinc levels to use the ionophoric action of the hydroxychloroquine which results in the arrest of viral replication by the zinc molecule. Once the hydroxychloroquine opens a portal (ionophore) and the
zinc passes into the cell, hydroxychloroquine’s job is done, finished. It doesn’t kill virus’. It just creates a doorway for the zinc.

This is why early treatment (with adequate zinc levels) is critical. Once the virus has had time to replicate and overwhelm the body’s defenses, the only thing that the hydroxychloroquine and zinc combination can do is keep the viral load from getting worse and that might be too late.

Accordingly, this study is designed to fail. Here is the takeaway line:

“If the drug does not work, investigators can put their time and energy into other prevention and treatment interventions, Barnabas said.”

But hey, they can say that they tried.

Best source for all 3 forms of K in a decent amount at a reasonable price that I've ever found is this:

Amazon but also available directly from "Life Extension" for about the same price.... Amazon Vitamin K Link

Someone help me out here.

Why does the Judge have a right to make these documents public? They belong to Cohen and, insofar as they are work product for Trump, these are not public records. Trump has a right to privacy in his legal affairs.

If Trump has not been found guilty of anything, then no one has a right to make his records public. Cohen’s personal records are fair game since there was a conviction (or guilty plea) but Trump’s, lacking any charges against him, are private... and, at minimum, subject to attorney-client privilege.

Am I wrong?

Jeez guys, it’s hard enough keeping the stories straight without people only reading part of an article and posting an inaccurate conclusion.

Everything that you have heard about the deal is in place and active. Nothing has to be further approved by anybody.

Now, apparently, there is another part of the agreement pending... which will have to be approved by the Mexican legislature and about which nothing has been revealed.

Per Trump’s tweet:

“We have fully signed and documented another very important part of the Immigration and Security deal with Mexico, one that the U.S. has been asking about getting for many years. It will be revealed in the not too distant future and will need a vote by Mexico’s Legislative body!” Trump tweeted.

Post’s that get it wrong only muddy the water.

Everyone in the industry (not working for Spacex) is probably pushing every button they can to get Musk tossed out. Spacex is at least 10 years ahead of every other competitor and 10 times cheaper.

ULA, Blue Origin, Ariane, the Russians (whatever they call themselves) and the Chinese will take a decade to even get close to where Spacex is today. I can only imagine where Spacex will be in 10 years.

The above is my opinion. Feel free to have a different one.

I’ve been researching this for a while and here is what I think today. You are probably right choosing Erythritol.

Erythritol has 70% the sweetness of sugar by volume.

Erythritol is very hard for gut bacteria to ferment or digest so it seems to do the least damage to them and you will have less gas, etc.

Erythritol has practically no effect on blood sugar levels. This is a good thing. All of the other sugar alcohols will spike blood sugar levels and increase insulin output. Bad.

Stevia will impact the health of good bugs in your gut. Specifically, it will reduce the numbers of L. Rheuteri. This is one of the best bacteria that you can have and they are hard to maintain in the gut without prebiotics and additional supplementation. So anything that makes keeping them around harder should be out. That’s sad because Stevia was the last hope of a good, natural sweetener.

Again, based on everything I’ve seen to date, Erythritol is the least harmful... and it’s comparatively cheap. I just got 2.5 pounds from Amazon for $12.99 delivered. That will last me a while.

So, until something better comes along, Erythritol seems to be the best choice... today.

Erickson was an outspoken Never-Trumper.

However, on his radio program, after the State of the Union address by Trump, he stated that he had been wrong... that Trump had exceeded his expectations in almost every respect... and that he would be supporting his re-election in 2020.

My mama used to call that “coming to Jesus”.

PAR35 gave you a good answer - curcumin. More specifically “Meriva Curcumin”. Curcumin has lousy bioavailability when taken orally... only 3-6%. If taken with piperine (black pepper), you will absorb 11-15%... better but not great.

Meriva Curcumin is curcumin that has been bound with phospatidylcholine and the absorption is at least 6 times better.

Curcumin is being used for pain, neuropathy, cancer and much more. You can google it and get thousands of hits.

You care about pain control and the inflammation/neuropathy in your feet and curcumin is specific for both of those, but you might as well get something that is good for you all over.

A large number of studies have revealed that curcumin
has wide therapeutic actions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, antimicrobial, anticancer, hepatoprotection and neuroprotection etc. Neuropathy is also on the list.

Recently, it has been discovered that opioids stimulate the metastasis of cancer, so there is an urgent need for a replacement. Meriva Curcumin is leading the search with dosages of 4 grams (800mg of active curcuminoids)on an “as needed” basis.

A 2013 study in the Journal of Pain Research used a 2 gram dose with good results so start with 2 grams and see how you do. Then step it up if you think you need to, you really can’t overdose with this and there are no reported side effects. Oral LD 50 in mice was found to be 12.2 g/kg. You will go broke before you take that much.

It will not affect your driving and will probably help your cognition.

Your challenge will be making a choice. There are lots of brands out there and many have additions to justify higher prices. You should look for a name brand that gives you the lowest cost per gram of the basic Meriva Curcumin. Amazon has many options. Just grab a bottle and see what it does for you. I think it is what you are looking for. Good Luck!
