After recovering from 3 months of persistent respiratory illness, I have been doing a deep dive in Covid vaccine matters. I have come to several conclusions and conjectures.

1) What is the common pattern in all or several vaccines that causes serious and long term problems.

2) The best explanation I have seen so far for these problems may be found in the IgG portion of our immune system. After multiple Covid shots there appears to be a derangement in the ratios/percentages of the 1 thru 4 components of the IgG system. Best virus fighter IgG3 disappears after 3 shots, while IgG4 becomes an ever higher percentage of the total IgG immune component, but also looses interest in fighting the target virus (in this case Covid).

3) Based on personal experience doses of 10 or more grams of Vitamin C spaced out over the day can help illness, and it is important to have a good Vitamin D blood level. THis based on the fact my D level dropped from optimum to insufficient probably as a result of weight gain above 25 BMI. I would advise adequate zinc levels as well. I have no experience with Ivermectin or nattokinase.

4) The interesting study about IgG ratios was done on mRNA vaccines. I only took 2 J&Js, a flu vaccine, and shingles in the past 2 years. So my illness pattern did not appear to be mRNA caused. However, all 3 Covid vaccines used in US over 2 years targeted spike proteins, so with J&J also using spike protein, my illness could fit.

5) Much larger studies should be done on these changes in IgG ratios, and include J&J in addition to Pfizer and Moderna. The potentially useful anti Covid vaccine Novavax should also be studied since it uses neither mRNA or spike protein as its mode of action. So far as I know it has not been used publicly in the US but may have been used in several other large countries, so study subjects may be available.

6) Few recent articles on Novavax appeared at Google. This one from Jan. 2023 is behind a Barrons firewall, but I may get it from a friend: https://www.barrons.com/articles/novavax-covid-vaccine-pricing-51673558808
Another study from South Africa and printed Jan. 2023 on Covid variants showed good result. I was unclear from the highly technical language whether or not spike protein was used. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-27698-x

I will continue to seek more information on the common cause of various dangers from Covid vaccines, but meanwhile will continue to use supplemnts, sometimes in larger than “approved” doses on my 84 year old body. Fifty years of supplement use has kept me in better health than my ancestors including parents, and sharpened my body self-awareness for subtle changes in health and reactions. As my gynecologist 53 years ago said when I asked about supplements I was taking as a result of reading Adele Davis’s books: “I don’t know much about supplements, but you seem fine, and I see you regularly, so it is probably OK.” The only problem I have ever had was when I used too much Calcium and not enough Magnesium to help manstrual cramps. It threw me into a depression episode. In a few minutes of research in Adele Davis’s books I found “calcium/magnesium ratio”. I realized that I was magnesium deficient, and took a small amount of high magnesium epsom salts in water. Twenty minutes later the depression feeling was gone and I was cooking dinner.
