In order to go from 'zero' to 'hero' very rapidly and give Canadians a good shot at acquired immunity, Trudeau should: > Acknowledge the good intention of the truckers' protest, > Apologize to the nation for his dereliction of duty on the whole issue of VAXX Passports, > Declare an end to all COVID mandates and > Empower the Canadian health services to explore and use all tested and promoted therapeutic treatments (HCQ, Ivermectin*, zinc, vitamins C, D, and E, etc). *The Nobel Prize version, not the 'horse paste' version, of course (sarc) His next step would be to retire...

Researchers of a new study say that two patients with leukemia continued to be in remission a decade after they were first infused with the experimental CAR T-cell therapy that turned their immune cells into cancer-killing cells.In 2010, Doug Olson and Bill Ludwig, participated in an experimental phase 1 clinical trial of the immunotherapy, after their cancer had mutated and no longer responded to the standard treatments. Both were battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of blood and bone marrow cancer. Olsen was diagnosed in 1996 and Lugwig in 2000.Dr. Carl H. June, a senior author, and director of...

Abstract BackgroundCOVID-19 is a global pandemic. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), zinc, and azithromycin (AZM), also known as the Zelenko protocol, and treatment with intravenous (IV) vitamin C (IVC) have shown encouraging results in a large number of trials worldwide. In addition, vitamin D levels are an important indicator of the severity of symptoms in patients with COVID-19. ObjectivesOur multicenter, randomized, open-label study aimed to assess the effectiveness of HCQ, AZM, and zinc with or without IVC in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in reducing symptom severity and duration and preventing death. MethodsHospitalized patients with COVID-19 in seven participating hospitals in Turkey...

Numbers showing the majority of Alberta's COVID-19 hospital admissions are in vaccinated individuals don't tell the entire story, regardless of what some conspiracy theorists believe. Albertans with at least one shot took over more hospital beds than those without this week. But the raw numbers are incomplete, and a dive into the data shows being vaccinated may be more important now than ever before. As of Thursday, 217 unvaccinated Albertans were in hospital with COVID-19, compared to 282 patients with at least one shot. But almost 90 per cent of the province has one dose, which means the "rate per...

At this year’s World Health Summit Stefan Oelrich, President of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division, gave a truly eye-opening speech revealing how the so-called “experts” think and quite frankly, taking his speech in the round, it’s chilling.Every October, the World Health Summit draws international “experts” from academia, politics, the private sector, and civil society to Berlin. The 13th World Health Summit was held in Berlin over the 3 days 24 – 26 October 2021. There were 67 sessions with 377 speakers involving 6,000 participants from 120 nations. The Summit’s partners include: Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Roche, Wellcome, Biogen, Novartis, Bayer and...

Each year, the guardianship of thousands of vulnerable youth are signed over to private and for-profit residential programs that lack state and federal oversight. This means that these programs can be established fairly spontaneously and are not required to report what goes on within the facility to the state or federal government. These programs may label themselves as wilderness, therapeutic, boot camp, or religious programs, and are collectively known as the “troubled teen industry” (tti). The TTI operates out of sight and out of mind, typically in remote locations away from public scrutiny. It is a multi-billion dollar industry that...

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the new Surgeon General and Secretary of the Department of Health for the state of Florida, denounced coronavirus hysteria on Tuesday, alleging it uses fear to rob people of their personal autonomy. [cut] After stepping up to the podium, Ladopo declared that the Sunshine State is “done with fear.” “We’re done with fear. It’s been something that’s been, unfortunately, a centerpiece of health policy in the United States ever since the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s over here — expiration date is done,” he said. In the same speech, Ladopo touted the importance of vaccines while...

The Biden administration this week slashed the doses of lifesaving coronavirus antibody treatment to Florida, giving the state less than half of what is needed for a routine week, prioritizing “equitable distribution” — a move some suspect is a form of revenge against Republican governors whom the president vowed to get “out of the way.” The Biden administration this week began to cut the distribution of monoclonal antibodies to red states, such as Florida and Alabama, contending those states, including Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana, are comprising too big a share of the supply in recent weeks — 70...

ER Editor: Dr. Robert Young‘s recent paper, showing detailed analysis of both the blood and the vaccines, is very technical but well worth the effort. In sum, graphene oxide has been found in all four vaccines. In addition, Trypanosoma cruzi Parasites have been found in the Pfizer vaccine, which are composed of carbon, oxygen chromium, sulphur, aluminum, chloride and nitrogen. The nanoparticulate components of all vaccines make for very interesting and disturbing reading, as do those components that create magnetic effects in the body. A question we are left with is, what is the additional effect on all this if...

Some 93% of 90 coronavirus serious patients treated in several Greek hospitals with a new drug developed by a team at Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center as part of the Phase II trial of the treatment were discharged in five days or fewer. The Phase II trial confirmed the results of Phase I, which was conducted in Israel last winter and saw 29 out of 30 patients in moderate to serious condition recover within days. “The main goal of this study was to verify that the drug is safe,” Prof. Nadir Arber said. “To this day we have not registered...

New Delhi -- At a time when the country is passing through the second wave of Covid-19, Delhi-based Sir Gangaram Hospital claims that monoclonal antibody can be a game changer with its better hold on the deadly pandemic. As per the hospital, the monoclonal antibodies will change the scenario of Covid-19 pandemic very soon. The healthcare facility came with new findings after treatment of two patients recently at its centre by successfully using monoclonal antibody which showed fast progression of symptoms within first seven days and changed the outcome. A 36-year-old healthcare worker with high grade fever, cough, myalgia, severe...

Study detailsIn this study, based on a subset of critically ill COVID-19 patients, consisting of patients who required intubation and IMV, data from the medical records were analyzed using several novel methods. This included not only the vital signs and laboratory values but the therapeutic methods.The study was carried out on patients at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, New Jersey, with just over 1% having been clinically diagnosed to have COVID-19. Of the 255 patients, almost 80% died during the study period. Seven patients were transferred to another hospital on the ventilator, mostly after day 40 of hospitalization.Parameters were broadly comparable...

The North Carolina Medicaid program doled out close to $214,000 over nearly two years for made-up therapy treatments, according to federal prosecutors. Now a business owner accused of profiting off the scheme is going to prison. Pamela Grace Faulkner, 60, was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison and ordered to pay $213,927 in restitution, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina said in a news release. She pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to commit health care fraud in 2019. A defense attorney representing Faulkner did not immediately respond to McClatchy News’ request for...

The House is officially in therapy. In the weeks after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, which left at least five dead, lawmakers and their staff in the House of Representatives are seeking out mental health counseling. Paul Tewksbury, director of the House Office of Employee Assistance, told lawmakers in a Thursday hearing that his office has provided 760 counseling sessions since the events of Jan 6 — something he called a “significant increase.” Tewksbury said there had been around 3,000 contacts between his office and the Capitol Hill community in the first half of 2020. ... “There’s a lot of...

AbstractIntroduction: Ivermectin is a commonly used antihelminthic agent with over 35 years of established safety data in humans. Recent data demonstrates antiviral activity in vitro against SARS-CoV-2, in addition to a range of viruses. In vitro and animal models also provide evidence of immunomodulatory action. These additional modes of action are supported by in silico modelling, which propose a number of viral and host targets that would mediate these effects. Objectives: The aim of this study is to systematically review the published and preprint clinical literature and study results that assessed the potential role of ivermectin as a COVID-19 therapeutic...
