An Austrian doctor who was targeted by anti-vaxxers for her public advocacy in favor of the Covid-19 vaccines has committed suicide. The body of Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who was often quoted in the media about the pandemic and the importance of vaccines, was found at her office in rural northern Austria on Friday, according to Austrian media reports. Officials said she left a suicide note but did not reveal its contents. Kelllmayr had been the target of death threats from anti-vaccination activists. Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen praised the doctor as a great healer and called out those who had...

Wasn't there some discussion about budesonide helping people who have contracted COVID-19? We have some friends who have COVID-19 even though they took all the shots. I have recommended they get Equate Budesoniade Nasal Spray to help them get over it. My hubby and I took the first shot and then became suspicious and have not taken any more...thank goodness! We are taking our Vit D 5,000 units, and if we get a sniffle, spray a time of the Budesonide Nasal Spray, and we have not had a problem at all (both of us are in our 80's). We don't...

Imagine reducing your viral load of COVID and decreasing your chance of hospitalization 19-fold with a $15 solution. Well, the corporate media have gotten wind of it too, which is why they are now attacking the nasal irrigation concoctions, proving once again that they will slander every and any treatment that actually works – no matter how safe and effective.It is now becoming clear that not only do the vaccines not stop transmission, but they seem to have spawned even more transmission in the most vaccinated countries. Studies have shown that the vaccinated might also carry higher viral loads. Either...

Results published in The Lancet have confirmed the benefit of inhaled budesonide in Covid recovery in higher risk patients in the community. But the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said advice to only prescribe the treatment on a ‘case by case’ basis remains in place for now. It is understood that NICE are reviewing the evidence from the PRINCIPLE trial, which first published interim results in April. The Lancet paper confirms that use of budesonide in over 65s or over-50s with high risk conditions who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 recovered 2.94 days sooner than those who had...

I know speakwithanmd.com will prescribe Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. Does anyone know for sure if they would also prescribe Budesonide, the steroid inhaler that has been shown to help with Covid. Or does anyone know another US based online source? Thanks.

Despite the lack of good evidence so far, Ivermectin has been taken up by doctors or by individuals self-medicating in countries including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, South Africa and the US. In the US, provider SingleCare said 817 prescriptions had been filled for Ivermectin (which can also be used to treat skin conditions such as rosacea) in January and February 2021, compared with 92 in the same period last year. Dr Stephen Griffin at the University of Leeds said, "much like hydroxychloroquine before, there has been a considerable amount of off-label use of this drug," based mainly on studies of the...

Medications February 10, 2021 Common asthma treatment reduces need for hospitalization in COVID-19 patients, study suggests by University of Oxford Early treatment with a medication commonly used to treat asthma appears to significantly reduce the need for urgent care and hospitalization in people with COVID-19, researchers at the University of Oxford have found. The STOIC study found that inhaled budesonide given to patients with COVID-19 within seven days of the onset of symptoms also reduced recovery time. Budesonide is a corticosteroid used in the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Findings from the phase 2 randomized...

Queensland University and Oxford University Medical researchers investigating why asthma sufferers were “under-represented” in severe Covid cases have completed a clinical trial of Budesonide asthma inhalers. According to researchers the randomised trial was stopped early, because the results were so remarkable, the researchers did not believe it ethical to deny treatment to placebo patients. Over-the-counter inhalers suppress severe COVID symptoms, trial finds By Stuart Layt February 10, 2021 — 11.18am … QUT associate professor Dan Nicolau, one of the lead researchers on the trial at the University of Oxford, said the results showed the method was extremely effective at preventing...

The results of the so called STOIC clinical trial run by Oxford University and testing budesonide have just been published as a pre-print on medrxiv.Voir version française.The study concludes that “Early administration of inhaled budesonide reduced the likelihood of needing urgent medical care and reduced time to recovery following early COVID-19 infection.”“We have demonstrated that the inhaled glucocorticoid, budesonide, given for a short duration, may be an effective treatment of early COVID-19 disease in adults. This effect, with a relative reduction of 90% of clinical deterioration is equivalent to the efficacy seen following the use of COVID-19 vaccines and greater...

It has occurred to us all. Somewhere in this plague-ridden world is a way to manage COVID-19 that works. Somebody must be getting this right. Indeed, at isolated hospitals and nursing homes, in parts of India and Africa, in countries like Bangladesh and Egypt, and even in a few American doctors’ offices, COVID-19 is quietly and effectively being managed. Fewer patients in those places go to hospitals. Those admitted don’t stay as long. Fewer die, according to preliminary but impressive studies. The typical American, however, has heard none of this — not heard that COVID can be prevented, not that...

Several doctors across the country—who are apparently successfully treating the Chinese coronavirus—are experiencing an Orwellian-like oppression by the media and government regulators. When reputable Texas doctors offered the world evidence of apparently successful treatment plans for the coronavirus, one might have expected medical researchers and leaders to rush to explore the feasibility of the treatment plan. Instead, leaders have shunned the news, mainstream media has gone into hyperdrive to discredit the doctors, and medical elites have refused to explore the treatment plans. And now, tech giants have removed and suppressed viral social media posts containing information from those medical professionals...

The Midland County Commissioners’ Court on Monday will hear a presentation from the Odessa doctor who claims to have found a “silver bullet” in the fight against coronavirus. The opportunity to speak during Commissioners’ Court will give Dr. Richard Bartlett, a family physician in Odessa, a platform to present his findings, according to County Judge Terry Johnson. Bartlett has touted an inhaled form of budesonide, a steroid often used to treat asthma, as a cure for the virus in several interviews with the news media. Commissioner Randy Prude said he asked Bartlett to give a presentation during the meeting because...

The early detection and treatment of disease are well established in American medicine. For example, women are screened for breast cancer at a specific age dependent upon their family history. If the condition is detected, it is treated at the earliest possible stage. If you have flu symptoms, you need to be tested within 72 hours of symptoms to receive Tamiflu. Yet with COVID-19, patients are told to stay home until they become short of breath in many cases. Prioritize Outpatient Care Where a disease is not successfully prevented, the goal of the healthcare system is generally to keep people...

Budesonide, a medicine used to help prevent the symptoms of asthma, is being touted as the “silver bullet” for COVID-19. Budesonide, a corticosteroid or steroid, reduces the severity of asthma attack by preventing inflammation in the lungs and can be inhaled directly to the lungs using a nebulizer. Daily use of inhaled budesonide reduces the number and severity of asthma attacks, although it cannot provide relief from an asthma attack that is already underway. Dr. Richard Bartlett, a US doctor, believes that budesonide, otherwise known as the brand name Pulmicor, can successfully treat the coronavirus. Dr. Bartlett claims to have...

The inhaled steroid Budesonide is being hailed by one West Texas doctor, Richard Bartlett, as the 'silver bullet' for COVID-19. Midland Memorial Hospital seems to disagree with him, telling us Tuesday that there is no such thing a 'silver bullet' for the virus. But Bartlett’s patients credit the treatment for saving their life. He has treated well over a dozen patients and has had a 100% success rate. Even with patients who have preexisting conditions. “I’m in my 60s, I’m living with two different types of non-hodgkin's lymphoma," Kathy Lollar, Dr. Bartlett's patient and COVID-19 survivor, said. "In fact I’m...
