The coronavirus pandemic has become the deadliest disease outbreak in recent American history with tolls surpassing the estimated deaths of the 1918 flu. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, 681,253 individuals in the United States have died from Covid-19 infections, while over a century ago, the country lost an estimated 675,000 people during the 1918 influenza pandemic, reports Holly Yan for CNN.

People who use the “deniers” designation are suspect as to their affiliation and motive to start with.

It was also noted that patients who were placed outdoors in the sun in the Southwest did noticeably better than ones who stayed indoors. Vitamin D is the virus killer and sunshine is the source.

True dat. I took D3 the whole time, and never caught Covid, and my wife was still working as a manager in a grocery store where she was exposed to the threat on a daily basis. She finally did catch the Omicron variant. Went to the hospital, was given a shot and sent on her way. Two days later she was fine. BTW, she received two shots, because they required it. I was not happy when I found that out. So far, no adverse effects, but she did have issues for a couple of days after the second shot. I believe that if she hadn’t gotten the shots, she probably would have not caught the Omicron variant.

Did Covid wipe out Alaskan natives on the North Slope and tribesmen up the Amazon as in 1918?

The Spanish Flu killed mainly young healthy adults, while Covid killed the elderly and the infirm. It triggered an immune system overreaction to fight the infection (a cytokine storm), causing people with healthy immune systems to drown in their own fluids. It was truly terrible.

People need to read that chart, there was no Covid, it was an average Flu season in the death counts. The PCR test shows nothing that is diagnostically sound.

Exactly, BIG medicine killed a huge number of the elderly.

The cdc data is falsified and incomplete. The government, scientists, doctors sold their souls in order to murder people. How pathetic is that? I hope every one of these criminals receives justice.

I have come across 3 separate cases of victims of CoVID who were on ventilator / “Run Death Is Near” protocol whose families got court orders to administer Ivermectin, which is not in the ‘standard of care’ maintained by the offending physicians / hospitals. 3 different states. Despite the court orders, hospitals cut off treatment after their charts showed recovery, and discontinued treatment. One family got a second court order, because chart showed relapse, started second treatment, and then showed recovery. Stopped by hospital and patient died. Courts are using ‘standard of care’ which DOES NOT INCLUDE Ivermectin, despite recent studies that didn’t repeat the faulty FDA / CDC analysis and showed positive results the FDA / CDC just were too dumb to see, unless they are murderers. Ivermectin is not part of the ‘standard of care’ in hospitals that want to kill you. So the courts deny its use for CoVID.

Natto (nattokinase) is the thing to take if one has had the vaxx. It is suppOsed to clean out the velcro virus. Keep on the D3, of course. A friend of mine got long term lethargic and not up to doing anything physical after his second vaxx. After 6 weeks of that I sent him a bottle of the Natto and it seems to have pulled him out of it after a few days. My family avoided the vaxx. 2 of us apparently did get the WuFlu and we took the megadose of D3 in addition to the daily 5000 unit gelcaps and went through the symptoms minimallY and out of it in 8-9 hours.

Where do you get this? Does it taste as discussing as it sounds? πŸ˜‹ Sounds like it might be effective for people who have high-blood pressure? Also seems like it cones in capsules perhaps? What dosage do you take, or have you taken?

For others to see:

Natto (nattokinase)

Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, and nattokinase is a potent blood-clot dissolving protein produced by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis during the fermentation process. Nattokinase has been extensively studied for its potential health benefits, particularly in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Production and Characteristics

Nattokinase is found in the sticky part of Natto, which is made by fermenting boiled soybeans with the bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme is responsible for degrading fibrin proteins, which are a cause of thrombi. The level of nattokinase activity in commercially available Natto foods varies, and the activity level can decrease due to cooking or preparation methods. However, dietary supplements often offer a more stable level of nattokinase activity.

Health Benefits

Nattokinase has been studied for its potential health benefits, including:

Thinning the blood and breaking up blood clots, which may protect against heart disease and conditions caused by blood clots, such as stroke and heart attack Increasing the activities of naturally occurring proteins in the body, such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase, which may help prevent cardiovascular disease Side Effects and Precautions

While nattokinase side effects are generally mild, it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and potential interactions with other medications. Additionally, nattokinase may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, as there is limited information on its effects and safety in these populations.

Conclusion

Natto (nattokinase) is a traditional Japanese food with potential health benefits, particularly in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. While it is generally considered safe, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before adding it to your diet or using it as a supplement.

It does not taste good but is eminently available as capsules which taste like capsules. Take it as it says on the bottle. You can get it as a food additive in a Japanese or other East Asian food store but it requires patience and fortitude until your taste buds are properly trained, sort of like double salted licorice which has no known benefits except that no one will ask you for any.

Since I line in a small southern town, guess I will have to go to the internet. πŸ˜‹

Nattokinase Supplement 4,000 FU Servings, 120 Capsules (Derived from Japanese Natto) Systemic Enzymes for Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support

I think I'll stick to the capsules. 🀣

Thanks for the information. πŸ™‚πŸ‘
