Historical concerns about the lethality of bird flu to humans have consistently proven unfounded, with no recorded deaths in the U.S. from such outbreaks, despite significant government spending and public warnings in the past
Recent discussions around “global biosecurity” and the potential for disease outbreaks to foster a totalitarian world government have intensified. A weaponized bird flu could be the next major threat
Recent cases of bird flu affecting various mammals, including livestock and pets, suggest the virus may be adapting to new hosts, raising alarms about its potential impact on humans
In March 2024, the first case of bird flu in livestock was found in a goat in Minnesota. That same month, infected cows were identified in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Idaho and Michigan. Three cats have also reportedly died from H5N1 infection, and one individual who came into close contact with infected cows has tested positive after presenting with conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Current countermeasures against bird flu, such as culling infected and exposed animals, hinder the development of natural immunity. Smaller flock sizes and better management would also reduce the disease risk
So far, every instance of fearmongering about the possibility of a lethal bird flu has turned out to be false. That’s why I wrote my New York Times best-selling book “The Great Bird Flu Hoax,” 15 years ago in 2009. Four years earlier, in 2005, then-President George Bush spent over $7 billion dollars on preparations and warned that more than 2 million Americans could die.1
The reality is that no one in the U.S. died from bird flu. Not one. Annual outbreaks of bird flu were also recorded and hyped between 2014 and 2017, again with no human victims.2
Fast-forward a couple of decades, and “global biosecurity” has become one of the primary tactics chosen to usher in a totalitarian One World Government. COVID-19 was just the warmup. I’ve repeatedly stated that more outbreaks, be they real or imagined, are to be expected for that very reason. The only question, really, is which pathogen it will be.
Is Weaponized Bird Flu Next?
In the spring of 2022, Bill Gates warned that another pandemic will emerge, and that this yet-to-come pandemic “will get attention this time.”3 Based on the news chatter emerging right now, a weaponized bird flu seems a possibility.
According to virologists speaking at a White House briefing, the bird flu (H5N1) has mutated to “spread more easily among mammals,” and an outbreak in the human population could be “100 times worse than COVID,” killing up to half of those infected.4 As reported by MSN on April 3, 2024:5
“Multiple cases of the infection in a variety of mammals, including cows, cats and, more recently, humans, are all raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible …
But others at the briefing said it was too early to panic because there were still too many unknowns about recent cases to warrant sounding the alarm. A White House representative said today it was tracking bird flu in the U.S.”
A graphic by the Daily Mail purporting to illustrate how bird flu is “edging closer to human spillover” lists the following cases:6
• Mammals infected with bird flu since 2022 include fox, bobcat, striped skunk, racoon and coyote
• In March 2024, the first case of bird flu in livestock was found in a goat in Stevens County, Minnesota
• In March 2024, bird flu also sickened cow herds at two dairy farms in Kansas, three dairy farms in the Panhandle, Texas, and one in New Mexico. Unpasteurized milk samples from the sick cows also tested positive for the pathogen. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, bird flu has also been detected in dairy herds in Idaho7 and Michigan.8
According to reports,9 the bird flu strain transmitted between the cows is a new strain, “which signifies the virus could be adapting to mammalian (as opposed to avian) hosts,” MSN writes.10 Incidentally, one of the biggest changes to the H5N1 virus occurred in 2020, when the wild and domestic versions combined to create a new strain11
• In April 2024, bird flu reportedly killed three cats in Texas
By late December 2023, hundreds of elephant seals in Antarctica were also found to have perished from the infection12 and mink farms across Europe were decimated that same year.13 Well over half a million seabirds have also perished from the virus, according to some estimates.14
Current Bird Flu Countermeasures Are the Wrong Approach
In early April 2024, the largest egg producer in the U.S., Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., also halted egg production at a Texas facility after bird flu was detected there. According to a company announcement, 1.6 million egg-laying hens were killed as a precaution, along with 337,000 pullets (3.6% of the total flock).15
But by culling animals whenever a case is detected basically guarantees that natural immunity will never develop. A far saner strategy would be to eliminate the chickens that die from the infection but keep those who survive it alive. An interesting article by regenerative farmer Joel Salatin, in which he discusses the bird flu cycle, was published by Brownstone Institute in mid-March 2023:16
“If thinking people learned only one thing from the COVID pandemic, it was that official government narratives are politically slanted and often untrue. In this latest HPAI [highly pathogenic avian influenza] outbreak, perhaps the most egregious departure from truth is the notion that the birds have died as a result of the disease and that euthanasia for survivors is the best and only option …
To be sure, HPAI is and can be deadly, but it never kills everything. The policy of mass extermination without regard to immunity, without even researching why some birds flourish while all around are dying, is insane. The most fundamental principles of animal husbandry and breeding demand that farmers select for healthy immune systems. We farmers have been doing that for millennia …
But in its wisdom, the US Department of Agriculture … has no interest in selecting, protecting, and then propagating the healthy survivors. The policy is clear and simple: kill everything that ever contacted the diseased birds. The second part of the policy is also simple: find a vaccine to stop HPAI …
The scorched earth policy is the only option even though it doesn’t seem to be working. In fact, the cycles are coming faster and seem to be affecting more birds. Someone ought to question the efficacy.”
As noted by Salatin, it’s well-recognized among farmers that cramped quarters and having too many chicken farms too close together, geographically, is the problem. “The USDA and the industry desperately want to blame wild birds, backyard flocks, and dirty shoes rather than looking in the mirror and realizing this is nature’s way of screaming ‘Enough!'” Salatin writes.
The answer is relatively simple. Save birds that survive the infection and breed them. That way, future generations will have natural immunity. “If a flock gets HPAI, let it run its course. It’ll kill the ones it’ll kill but in a few days the survivors will be obvious. Keep those and put them in a breeding program,” Salatin writes.
Secondly, chicken farmers can also ward off epidemics by focusing on optimal herd sizes. For example, wild turkeys stay in flocks of no more than a couple of hundred. Wild pigs rarely exceed groups of 100. For chickens, optimal herd size is about 1,000, according to Salatin. He goes on to explain:
“An elderly poultry industry scientist visited our farm once and told me that if houses would break up chickens into 1,000-bird groups it would virtually eliminate diseases.
He said it was okay to have 10,000 birds in a house as long as they were in 1,000-bird units. That way their social structure can function in a natural interaction. Animals have a hierarchy of bullies and timids. That social structure breaks down above optimal size …
While I don’t want to sound flippant or above HPAI susceptibility, incident rates definitely indicate less vulnerability in well-managed pastured flocks.
Creating an immune-building protocol surely merits research as much as overriding the immune system with vaccines and trying to stay ahead of disease mutations and adaptations with human cleverness. How about humbly seeking nature for solutions rather than relying on hubris?
The parallels between HPAI expert orthodoxy and COVID orthodoxy are too numerous to mention … The HPAI worry feeds food worry, which makes people clamor for government security. People will accept just about anything if they’re afraid … Think it through and then embrace a more natural remedy: well-managed decentralized pastured poultry with appropriate flock sizes.”
Second Human Case of Bird Flu in the US
Within a week of bird flu being found in Texas dairy cows in late March 2024, a Texas resident also tested positive for the virus after coming into close contact with the infected cows. The primary symptom this person experienced was conjunctivitis (pink eye).17 It’s said to be the second human case of avian influenza A(H5N1) in the U.S. No human-to-human transmission has as yet been identified. Citing “federal and state health authorities investigating the outbreak,” MSN reported:18
“Avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses have only rarely been transmitted from person to person … As such, the risk to the general public is believed to be low; however, people with close contact with affected animals suspected of having avian influenza A(H5N1) have a higher risk of infection.”
Symptoms of Bird Flu Infection
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, symptoms of bird flu infection can include:19
Cough
Sore throat
Fever and/or chills
Runny or stuffy nose
Headache
Fatigue
Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Shortness of breath or breathing difficulty
Diarrhea
Nausea and/or vomiting
Seizures
Severe cases may progress to fulminant pneumonia, respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock and death.
Fingerprints of COVID Are All Over Weaponized Bird Flu
Historically, natural avian influenza (H5N1) never posed a threat to mankind, but then scientists started tinkering with it, creating a hybrid with human pandemic potential.20 Some of that research has been undertaken in Pentagon-funded biolabs in Ukraine.21,22,23
Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), have also funded gain-of-function research on H5N1.24 One scientist whose work on H5N1 has been funded by both Fauci and Gates is Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka.25
In one experiment, Kawaoka mixed bird flu virus with the Spanish flu virus, resulting in a highly lethal respiratory virus with human transmission capability. Kawaoka has also played around with mixtures of H5N1 and the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus, creating an airborne hybrid26,27,28 capable of evading the human immune system, effectively rendering humans defenseless against it,29 and this extremely risky research was done at a biosafety Level 2 lab!30
Fauci also funded the work of virologist Ron Fouchier, a Dutch researcher whose team created an airborne version of the bird flu using a combination of genetic engineering and serial infection of ferrets.31 So, the bird flu has been manipulated and tinkered with in a variety of different ways, making it both airborne (which it was not initially) and capable of cross-species infection.
In 2012, the work of Kawaoka and Fouchier sparked widespread concern about gain-of-function research, as it was readily recognized that it could accidentally cause a human pandemic.32,33
As a result, the U.S. government issued a temporary ban on gain-of-function research on certain viruses in 2014, which remained in place until December 2017.34 We now know this ban was circumvented by Fauci, who continued to fund gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in China during those years.
It now looks as though weaponized bird flu might eventually be released to achieve the geopolitical aims of the technocratic cabal that is trying to give the World Health Organization a monopoly on pandemic decision-making.
So, if we do end up with a lethal human bird flu, there’s every reason to suspect it was manmade. There’s also every reason to suspect a bird flu vaccine will be either ineffective, hazardous or both. Moderna launched a small human trial for an mRNA shot for avian influenza in the spring of 2023,35 but results have yet to be released.
Inoculate Yourself Against Upcoming Fearmongering
As we move forward, it is vitally important for you to keep an eye on the narratives we’re being fed. If bird flu becomes a human epidemic or pandemic, there are plenty of reasons to suspect it’s a weaponized virus, and the “solution” offered will be the same as that for COVID-19: “Get vaccinated.”
Considering the widespread harm caused by the COVID-19 mRNA shots, can we really trust that fast-tracked bird flu shots will be any safer or more effective? Already, the U.S. and other countries are stockpiling H5N1 vaccine36 “just in case,” which is telling.
While some traditional vaccines are in the lineup, mRNA shots tweaked to target H5N1 are also in the pipeline,37 and they probably won’t need to undergo additional testing over and beyond what was already done for the COVID jabs. As reported by Reuters:38
“Some of the world’s leading makers of flu vaccines say they could make hundreds of millions of bird flu shots for humans within months if a new strain of avian influenza ever jumps across the species divide …
In a pandemic, vaccine manufacturers would shift production of seasonal flu vaccines and instead make shots tailored to the new outbreak when needed …
Many of the potential pandemic shots are pre-approved by regulators, based on data from human trials showing the vaccines are safe and prompt an immune response, a process already used with seasonal flu vaccines.
This means they might not require further human trials, even if they have to be tweaked to better match whichever strain does jump to humans. Data on how well the vaccines actually protect against infection would be gathered in real-time …”
To think that an mRNA-based jab against a weaponized bird flu will be any safer than the shots for COVID-19 would be naïve in the extreme, if you ask me, yet you can be sure we’ll be told otherwise, if bird flu does end up spreading among the human population.
Be Prepared
One of the best things I did in my youth was join the Boy Scouts. Their motto “Be Prepared” has been enormously useful my entire life. Well, it applies to bird flu as well. While we don’t know for sure, as no studies have been done, it is highly likely that many of the same protocols used in early outpatient treatment of COVID will also work for bird flu, since they are both viral respiratory pathogens.
So, as a first basic prevention step, optimize your vitamin D (the ideal range is between 60 ng/ml and 80 ng/ml). Be sure to measure it to confirm, as there is no way to know what your vitamin D level is without doing a blood test.
Summer is nearly here, so ditch your oral vitamin supplement and strip off your clothes and get out in the sun around solar noon, which is 1 p.m. for most people in the U.S. To learn more, download my “Vitamin D in the Prevention of COVID-19” report, available on stopCOVIDcold.com.
In case you do get sick, I would strongly advise you to purchase a nebulizer so that you can nebulize hydrogen peroxide at first signs of symptoms. If you have not previously viewed my Hydrogen Peroxide video below and purchased all the ingredients, you must do so now. If this crisis hits and you do not have a nebulizer you could be out of luck.
More comprehensive prevention and treatment protocols can be downloaded from the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s (FLCCC) website, covid19criticalcare.com.39 They also have a treatment protocol for RSV and influenza. Print them out and make sure you have the basic supplements in your medicine cabinet.
Hydrogen Peroxide Rapidly Inactivates Viruses
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom (O2), and it is the additional oxygen atom that allows it to inactivate viral pathogens. Some of your immune cells produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy pathogens. By killing the infected cell, viral reproduction is stopped. So, hydrogen peroxide therapy aids your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively.
Many studies have investigated the use of hydrogen peroxide against different pathogens. For example, a 2020 review40 of 22 studies found that 0.5% hydrogen peroxide effectively inactivated a range of human coronaviruses, including those responsible for SARS and MERS, within one minute of exposure.
According to Brownstein, all pathogens studied to date have been found to succumb to hydrogen peroxide, albeit at varying concentrations and for different amounts of exposure.
How to Properly Dilute the Peroxide
While you can use virtually any percentage of food grade peroxide, it’s crucial to dilute it properly before use. What you want is a 0.1% dilution, so even a 3% hydrogen peroxide will need to be diluted at least 30 times.
In a pinch, you could use commercial 3% hydrogen peroxide, the stuff used for wound care, but I don’t recommend routine use of it as it contains stabilizing chemicals that can detract from the benefits. Also, you want to dilute the hydrogen peroxide with hypertonic saline, not plain water, as the lack of electrolytes in the water can damage your lungs if you nebulize that. Using saline prevents the osmotic differential that can damage lung cells.
To end up with a final peroxide/hypertonic saline solution concentration of 0.1%, you need to go through two steps:
Create the hypertonic saline solution
Dilute the peroxide
I used to recommend using normal saline, which contains 0.9% salt, but a 2021 study41 found that a 1.5% sodium chloride solution (hypertonic saline) achieved a 100% inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro (in cell culture). Using lower levels of saline, like 1.1%, only inhibited 88%. So, I now recommend using hypertonic saline instead, which would be slightly less than double the amount of salt used to make normal saline.
To make hypertonic (1.5%) saline, simply mix 1.5 teaspoons of high-quality unprocessed salt to one pint of purified or distilled water. Stir until the salt is thoroughly dissolved. Be sure to use proper measuring spoons and not a regular kitchen teaspoon. For even greater precision, you could use a digital scale to measure out exactly 7.1 grams of salt.
If the 1.5% hypertonic solution causes nasal burning, irritation or cough, you can lower the concentration to 0.9% salt, which is isotonic normal saline. For this you would decrease the salt to one level teaspoon to one pint of water. Once you have your saline solution and a food grade hydrogen peroxide, dilute the peroxide according to the following chart, based on the concentration you’re starting with.
!WARNING:
Food grade peroxide at concentrations of 12% and 36% should NEVER be used full-strength either topically or internally. It MUST be diluted or severe injury can occur. Your safest bet is to use 3% food grade peroxide and dilute it as indicated so you end up with a solution of 0.1%.
Once you have your peroxide-saline solution, simply pour 1 teaspoon of it into the nebulizer and inhale the entire amount. If you like, you can add one drop of 5% Lugol’s iodine solution to the nebulizer as well. Some find it boosts the effects.
I recommend using nebulized peroxide for any suspected respiratory infection, and the earlier you start, the better. If you’re already presenting with a runny nose or sore throat, use the nebulizer for 10 to 15 minutes four times a day until your symptoms are relieved.
You can also use nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and maintenance, which may be advisable during flu season. There is no danger in doing it every day if you’re frequently exposed, and there may even be additional beneficial effects, such as a rapid rise in your blood oxygen level.
The onset of cardiac complications varied among participants, with 14.55% experiencing symptoms within one month of vaccination and others reporting issues up to 12 months or longer.
TrialSite News reported on the “bombshell Saudi Arabian study” on Wednesday. Founder, Daniel O’Connor, told The Defender that while the study has limitations and was designed to look for cardiac complications, “The rate of hospitalized cases was certainly notable, especially given the existing cardiac (myocarditis/pericarditis) signal associated with the vaccines.”
Cardiologist and epidemiologist Dr. Peter A. McCullough said that in addition to the large number of cardiovascular symptoms warranting hospitalization, 15.8% landed in an intensive care unit (ICU).
“More than half of subjects indicated they were influenced by a healthcare professional or government agency to get vaccinated,” McCullough told The Defender. “Never in recent times has there been such a cardiotoxic vaccine released on the public.”
Highlighting the growing concern surrounding the potential long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines on cardiovascular health, O’Connor said, “The surge in cardiac-related incidents in the news over the last year or two doesn’t comfort one either.”
9.45% required medical care for more than 12 months
The Saudi Arabian study, published in the medical journal Cureus, employed a cross-sectional design and recruited 804 participants (379 men, 425 women, ages 18 and above) who had received at least one dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or both — 58 took a different brand).
Nearly 40% took just one shot.
Participants completed a culturally adapted questionnaire covering demographic details, vaccination history, health conditions and perceptions related to the vaccines.
The onset of cardiac complications for the 27.11% of affected participants varied, with 14.55% occurring within one month of vaccination, 6.97% between one and three months, and others experiencing issues up to 12 months or more after receiving the vaccine.
For the 15.8% admitted to critical care units and 11.44% to general hospital wards, inpatient treatment lasted from less than one day to several weeks, with 8.33% spending between four and seven days in the hospital.
Treatment for cardiac complications was ongoing for many participants, with 9.45% receiving medical care for more than 12 months and 7.11% undergoing continuous treatment at the time of the survey.
Sixty-five percent of subjects reported being “neutral,” “somewhat not confident” or “not confident at all” on the safety of mRNA vaccines, while only about 20% said they believed their cardiac symptoms were “strongly related” or “somewhat related” to the vaccines.
The study also found high rates of pre-existing health conditions among the participants, including diabetes (48.26%), hypertension (56.72%), obesity (39.15%) and sedentary lifestyle-related issues (22.14%).
These comorbidities may have contributed to the increased risk of cardiac complications following mRNA vaccination, according to the study authors.
‘Seems like an awfully high rate’
“Despite the bias of recruitment strategy to find patients with cardiovascular side effects from mRNA, these are large percentages requiring hospital and or ICU care,” McCullough said.
“More data are needed on these cases including diagnosis, treatment and outcomes such as recurrent hospitalization and death,” he added.
The study’s authors emphasized the need for further investigation into the specific risk factors and biological mechanisms that may contribute to developing cardiac complications following vaccination.
TrialSite News called it “a strong study in regard to methodology, relevance, and ethical considerations,” noting the authors seemed to “downplay the magnitude of the response,” despite what “seems like an awfully high rate” of cardiac complications.
If you experience chronic heartburn, a new study indicates that taking curcumin, the biologically active polyphenolic compound found in turmeric, may offer the same protection and relief as the popularly used proton pump inhibitor (PPI) Prilosec (omeprazole)
Despite knowing the serious side effects associated with PPIs, data show people are prescribed and are taking them at doses higher than recommended and for longer than is recommended by clinical guidelines
PPIs may increase your risk of a gut infection, vitamin B12 deficiency, heart disease, heart attack, bone fractures and events of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus. In just one week of use, PPIs are associated with significant impairment in attention, executive function, visual memory and working and planning functions
Steps you can take to naturally reduce symptoms are to identify your trigger foods and eliminate them, don’t eat within four hours of going to bed, consider elevating the head of the bed if you experience nighttime symptoms and don’t wear clothing that is tight around the waist
Curcumin is the major biologically active polyphenolic compound of turmeric and the compound that gives the spice its yellow color. A 2023 study1 published in the BMJ Journal finds that curcumin has yet another health benefit — it helps improve outcomes in people with functional dyspepsia.
In the past decade, researchers have discovered several health benefits from including turmeric and curcumin in your diet. As I reported in 2021, curcumin was among the top five substances researchers had found that could help improve COVID outcomes. However, on their own, turmeric and curcumin have poor bioavailability when taken orally.
Researchers have attributed this to the body’s limited ability to absorb the compound and the body’s ability to rapidly metabolize and eliminate it.2 However, research has also demonstrated that when taken with different compounds, the bioavailability can improve and therefore may help enhance the multiple health benefits that are attributed to the compound.
For example, when taken with piperine, an alkaloid found in black pepper, the bioavailability of curcumin rises by 2,000%.3 Combining curcumin with bromelain, a protease from the pineapple stem, also “substantially increases the absorption of curcumin after oral administration.”4
Curcumin Is Potentially Effective for Functional Dysplasia
In the featured paper,5 151 people completed the study. The group was broken into four groups. They either received two 250 mg capsules of curcumin four times daily, one placebo capsule, 20 mg of Prilosec (omeprazole) and two placebo pills four times daily, or turmeric plus Prilosec.
Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that is commonly used to treat functional dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia6 is a type of chronic indigestion in which you experience symptoms of feeling full or bloated during and after meals, heartburn and excessive burping.
The researchers were interested in how curcumin could affect the gastrointestinal tract, so no additional compounds were included to increase bioavailability. The study was a randomized, double-blind controlled trial that engaged participants with functional dyspepsia from university hospitals in Thailand.
The main outcome measure used was the Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA) score that was measured on Days 28 and 56 to evaluate pain, non-pain and satisfaction with treatment. Secondary outcomes measured included adverse events and severe adverse events.
At the start of the study, patients in all the groups had similar clinical characteristics and scores on the SODA. When evaluating the results, the researchers found that on Days 28 and 56, the SODA scores indicated a significant reduction in symptoms for all but the placebo group.
The improvements were greater by Day 56. The researchers reported no serious adverse events occurred during the study, but acknowledged that individuals who were overweight experienced some liver function deterioration while taking curcumin.7
The researchers acknowledged several limiting factors, including the size of the study, the short intervention and the lack of long-term data. Despite these limitations, the researchers found that “The strength of the study lies in its relevance to daily clinical practice, providing additional drug options in addition to PPIs alone, without added side effects.” and “… the new findings from our study may justify considering curcumin in clinical practice.”8
What You Eat Matters to Your Heartburn
While it might seem counterintuitive, one of the most common causes of heartburn is insufficient amounts of stomach acid. Your body uses stomach acid to properly digest food, breaking it down to absorb nutrients. Without enough stomach acid, undigested food can lead to indigestion and heartburn. Undigested food can also cause bacterial overgrowth.
Yet, if you use PPIs,9 they reduce your stomach acid even further, and over time may cause the glands in the stomach that secrete acid to stop working altogether. A 2017 study10 suggested that a Mediterranean diet that focuses on fruits, healthy fats, lean meat and vegetables could be as effective as PPIs in treating acid reflux symptoms.
The study involved 184 participants and found that after six weeks those who had changed their diet had a slightly greater reduction in reflux symptoms than those who used PPI medication. The study measured symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux during which stomach acid affects the tissue at the back of your throat.
Each of your dietary choices can play a role in heartburn symptoms, including beverages. For occasional symptom relief, alkaline water, also tested in the study, may help neutralize the acid and offer relief. You can add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 4 ounces of orange juice and stir.
Because the reaction causes foaming, make sure the glass is only half full to avoid overflow. Another option is to add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or one-half to 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of filtered water.
However, I would underscore the importance of using alkaline water only as a temporary solution and only if reflux is caused by excess stomach acid. The bottom line is that daily consumption of water that’s either too acidic or too alkaline can upset the pH balance in your gastrointestinal tract and trigger heartburn.
PPIs are associated with several significant side effects. For example, individuals who regularly use them can develop a vitamin B12 deficiency as they reduce your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 from food.11 Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that’s required for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and for the development of the central nervous system.12
A 2017 study13 indicates PPIs may increase your risk for a gut infection. The study engaged a total of 564,969 PPI users and controls (188,323 PPI users and 376,646 controls) and found that those who took certain heartburn drugs had an increased risk of developing C. difficile and campylobacter bacterial infections related to the suppression of stomach acid production.
Research has also found that even short-term use of PPIs can contribute to cognitive changes and long-term use is linked to dementia. One 2015 study14 suggested PPIs were associated with clinically and statistically significant impairment in attention, executive function, visual memory and working and planning functions after just one week of use.
Finally, long-term use has also been linked to chronic kidney disease, heart disease and heart attacks and increased risk of bone fractures and events of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus.15
Despite this evidence, a 2018 Iceland nationwide drug utilization study16 demonstrated a continued increase in overall use in the previous 13 years, particularly in older adults.
The researchers noted that “Patients were increasingly treated for longer durations than recommended by clinical guidelines and mainly with higher doses.”17 A 2022 study from Spain found similar results in which the researchers observed an increase in PPI use especially in a population older than 65 years, “despite the risk of cognitive decline and falls.”18
A 2023 literature review19 identified observational studies on PPI use in individuals older than 18 across several databases from 23 countries. The data indicated that of the people using PPIs, 63%, were younger than 65 years, 56% were female and roughly two-thirds were on high doses of PPIs, 25% of which for more than a year and 28% for more than three years.
After reviewing the global data, the researchers concluded, “Given the widespread use of PPIs and increasing concern regarding long-term use, this review provides a catalyst to support more rational use, particularly with unnecessary prolonged continuation.”20
Steps to Help Naturally Reduce Symptoms
As I have written before, PPIs have serious effects on your health, so it is wise to first consider non-drug alternatives to reduce your symptoms. Since the foods you eat affect your reflux and heartburn symptoms, you can begin by identifying the foods that trigger your symptoms and eliminating them from your diet.
If you are on a PPI, it is vitally important that you seek to wean from them as soon as possible with your physician. The best H2 blocker to use would be Pepcid (famotidine) which you will gradually wean from as well.
Foods that commonly increase heartburn21 include fried and processed foods, such as fast food, pizza, and potato chips or similar fried snack foods. Other foods that commonly make the list are tomato-based sauces, citrus fruits and carbonated beverages.
After you have eliminated the foods that trigger your symptoms, there are several more steps you can take. Steer clear of clothes that are tight around your waist or middle22 since it can increase the symptoms of heartburn.
When you sit down, tight clothes squeeze your abdominal area, increasing the risk your stomach contents will push through the sphincter at the top of the stomach and you’ll experience reflux.
It’s important to remember that for many people, heartburn gets worse at night after you are lying down to go to sleep.23 It’s easier for food to back up the esophagus without the push of gravity as you’re standing.
Don’t eat in the three to four hours before going to sleep at night and if you’re still having trouble, try elevating the head of your bed approximately 6 inches. Don’t simply sleep on extra pillows as that adds an extra strain to your neck and shoulders.
The angle of the pillows can also increase pressure on the abdomen, depending on the position. Instead, consider blocks sold specifically for elevating the bed, which stabilizes it, so it doesn’t move at night.
Ginger has long been known to have a gastroprotective effect. Add two to three quarter-size slices of fresh ginger root to 2 cups of hot water and let it steep for several minutes. Drink it approximately 20 minutes before eating your meal. If heartburn seems to plague you at night, try a cup of chamomile tea about an hour before going to sleep.24
Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik are trying to get the word out that long vax is not only real but has disabled many Americans who were at the peak of health prior to getting a COVID jab
At Kory’s long COVID clinic, 70% of the patients actually have long vax and reported their symptoms began “minutes, hours, days or several weeks” after receiving a COVID-19 shot
Long vax symptoms are nearly identical to those of long COVID — the difference being that the long vax patients tend to be sicker, with more frequent small fiber neuropathy and dysautonomia
A study by Yale scientists detailed long vax, which they called chronic post-vaccination syndrome, in 241 people
Top reported symptoms include exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness, brain fog and neuropathy
An estimated 6.4% of U.S. adults have experienced symptoms of long COVID, a term used to describe a complex disorder that persists for three or more months after contracting COVID-19.1 While long COVID has been extensively covered in the media, millions more suffer from long vax — a condition with nearly identical symptoms to long COVID, but often even more severe.
New York pulmonologist Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor formerly with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia, are part of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Working Group (FLCCC). They’re trying to get the word out that long vax is not only real but has disabled many Americans who were at the peak of health prior to getting a COVID jab.2
At Long COVID Clinic, 70% of Patients Have Long Vax
Kory opened a tele-health practice that specializes in treating COVID disease, including long COVID. Kory says:3
“Long COVID, although a new name, is not a new disease. It meets the diagnostic criteria for a decades-old condition called myalgic encephalitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
The three symptom ‘pillars’ which lead to the diagnosis are fatigue, post-exertional malaise (PEM), and ‘brain fog’ (i.e. cognitive deficits ranging from word finding difficulties, short term memory loss, inability to focus/comprehend, and more rarely confusion or disorientation).
Although this triad is present in nearly every patient I see (rarely brain fog is missing), the patients also present with a ‘side menu’ of problems which can include sensory neuropathies, dysautonomia/POTS, motor neuropathies, abdominal issues, musculoskeletal complaints, and cranial symptoms (i.e tinnitus, vertigo, headaches, vision, hearing loss, smell loss, taste loss).
Many of my patients are debilitated and meet criteria for disability, despite the majority reporting being in the peak of health and functioning prior to the pandemic.”
Yet, Kory and colleagues quickly noticed that most of their patients reported their symptoms began “minutes, hours, days or several weeks”4 after receiving a COVID-19 shot. While many had also had COVID-19, only a small number tied their symptoms to the viral infection.
While the team initially called the condition post-COVID vaccine injury syndrome, they changed the diagnosis to “long vax” because the symptoms were so close to long COVID — the difference being that the long vax patients tended to be sicker, with more frequent small fiber neuropathy and dysautonomia, Kory said.5
Research Details Neuropathic Symptoms Following COVID-19 Jabs
Scientific studies detailing long vax symptoms continue to emerge. In one study from early in the pandemic, more than two-thirds of those reporting long COVID symptoms had negative antibody tests, suggesting at least some of them didn’t even have COVID-19.6 Meanwhile, many COVID jab recipients report long COVID-like symptoms.
As reported by Science magazine in 2022, “In rare cases, coronavirus vaccines may cause long COVID-like symptoms,”7 which can include (but is not limited to) brain fog, memory problems, headaches, blurred vision, loss of smell, nerve pain, heart rate fluctuations, dramatic blood pressure swings and muscle weakness. The feeling of “internal electric shocks” are also reported.
Also in 2022, a preprint study from the U.S. National Institutes of Health reported new neuropathic symptoms that began in 23 adults within one month of receiving a COVID-19 shot.8 All of the patients felt severe tingling or numbness in their faces or limbs, and 61% also experienced dizziness when standing up, intolerance to heat and heart palpitations.
When 12 of the patients had their nerve function tested, seven had less sweating in their hands and feet than normal, while six had a condition where their heart beats too fast when they stand up.9
The researchers also took skin samples from the lower legs of 16 patients. Among them, 31% showed signs that the small nerves in the skin were not as dense as they should be, which can indicate nerve damage. Another 13% were on the border of being considered damaged, and 19% had swollen nerve fibers. When five of the samples were evaluated more closely, signs of an immune reaction in the blood vessels were detected.10
Further, while electrical tests on the nerves were normal for most participants, 52% showed clear signs of damage to the small nerves that can be felt but not easily seen. The study shows that after getting the COVID-19 shot, a range of symptoms related to nerve damage is possible, which might be caused by an immune system reaction.
A study by Yale scientists, including Dr. Harlan Krumholz of Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, also shed light on long vax, which they described as chronic post-vaccination syndrome, or PVS.11 In a study of 241 people who reported PVS after an mRNA COVID-19 shot, the median time from the jab to the onset of symptoms was three days, with symptoms continuing for 595 days. The five most common symptoms included:12
Exercise intolerance (71%)
Excessive fatigue (69%)
Numbness (63%)
Brain fog (63%)
Neuropathy (63%)
In the week before the survey was completed, patients reported a range of additional symptoms highlighting the mental toll the condition takes. The symptoms required a median of 20 interventions for treatment and included:13
Feeling unease (93%)
Fearfulness (82%)
Overwhelmed by worries (81%)
Feelings of helplessness (80%)
Anxiety (76%)
Depression (76%)
Hopelessness (72%)
Worthlessness (49%)
“In this study,” the researchers explained, “individuals who reported PVS after COVID-19 vaccination had low health status, high symptom burden, and high psychosocial stress despite trying many treatments. There is a need for continued investigation to understand and treat this condition.”14
Even a 2021 study reported a series of patients who experienced new autoimmune conditions — or flare-ups of existing autoimmune disease — following mRNA COVID-19 shots,15 highlighting the importance of careful research into the ongoing health risks.
Will Long Vax Be Censored?
It’s hopeful that scientific on long vax is reaching medical journals and getting some media coverage.16 But Kory and Marik are concerned it could reach a similar fate as other COVID shot coverage during the pandemic.
“The concern is that our findings, Krumholz’s study, and any reports of adverse events from COVID-19 vaccination, will be subject to the same institutional censorship we saw throughout the pandemic. Suppressing this information risks creating an even bigger disaster,” they told The Hill,17 referring to a potential epidemic of autoimmune diseases that could occur as a result.
“America’s health agencies need to snap into action to help study this problem so we can better understand and treat these conditions. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much hope of this happening,” Kory and Marik wrote. “The National Institutes of Health is fixated on studying the effect of Paxlovid, an antiviral COVID treatment, to treat long COVID and long vax, despite it having no proven effect on autoimmune disease.”18
Further, Kory explains that while major medical centers and hospitals across the U.S. have opened long COVID clinics, the treatments they offer are largely ineffective, and they often gas-lit long vax patients who tried to get help:19
“[F]or most of 2022 into 2023, those centers consistently gas-lit the Long Vax patients who presented to those clinics. Gaslighting of medical injuries is the well-described inability for physicians to recognize or accept when their own treatments (i.e the mRNA vaccines) cause harm …
The stories my patients would tell me of the care they received included what I would describe as abuse or insults from the treating physicians when the patients tried to convince them that the vaccines were the cause. These stories still make my blood boil and have estranged many of my patients from ‘the system.’ I believe the gaslighting responses have lessened somewhat but I don’t really know how much.
What angered me even further is that the health agencies only directed funding at long COVID and the medical literature and media only referred to sufferers as having long COVID. The contribution of the gene therapy vaccines are consistently ignored.”
Is Long Vax Behind the Explosion of Disability Claims?
Kory believes that long vax, and to a lesser extent long COVID, are behind the explosion of disability claims that have occurred since COVID-19 shots rolled out.20
Data compiled by former BlackRock analyst and fund manager Edward Dowd revealed a sobering glimpse into the true carnage that occurred at the hands of the COVID-19 shot campaign,21 and its results are striking. It revealed the following estimated human and economic costs:22
Human cost:
26.6 million injuries
1.36 million disabilities
300,000 excess deaths
Economic cost:
Total: $147.8 billion
Injuries: $89.9 billion
Disabilities: $52.2 billion
Excess deaths: $5.6 billion
What’s more, this data is from the employed population, aged 16 to 64 — a typically healthy crowd. To put this into perspective, John Leake writes on Courageous Discourse, “Note that this death count in one year is 5.2 times the number of men killed in ten years of combat in Vietnam.”23
As long vax and its symptoms become increasingly recognized, it will hopefully lead to increased access to effective treatments. If you’re experiencing symptoms, it’s important to find a holistic health care practitioner who’s familiar with long vax and how to treat it. You can also access FLCCC’s I-RECOVER24 guide,25 which offers step-by-step instructions on how to treat reactions from COVID-19 injections.26
I also summarized strategies to optimize mitochondrial health if you’re suffering from long COVID or long vax, with a focus on boosting mitochondrial health. To allow your body to heal you’ll want to minimize EMF exposure as much as possible. Your diet also matters, as the cristae of the inner membrane of the mitochondria contains a fat called cardiolipin, the function of which is dependent on the type of fat you get from your diet.
The type of dietary fat that promotes healthy cardiolipin is omega-3 fat, and the type that destroys it is omega-6, especially linoleic acid (LA), which is highly susceptible to oxidation. So, to optimize your mitochondrial function, you want to avoid LA as much as possible and increase your intake of omega-3s.
Primary sources of LA include seed oils used in cooking, processed foods and restaurant foods made with seed oils, condiments, seeds and nuts, most olive oils and avocado oils (due to the high prevalence of adulteration with cheaper seed oils). Animal foods raised on grains, such as conventional chicken and pork, are also high in LA.
Another major culprit that destroys mitochondrial function is excess iron — and almost everyone has too much iron. You can learn more about the health risks of excess iron in my interview with Christy Sutton, D.C. The most effective way to lower your iron is to donate blood two to four times a year.
Copper is also important for energy metabolism, detoxification and mitochondrial function, and copper deficiency is common. Other strategies include sun exposure and near-infrared light therapy, NAD+ optimizers and methylene blue, which can be a valuable rescue remedy. By improving your mitochondrial function and restoring the energy supply to your cells, you’ll significantly increase your odds of reversing the problems caused by the jab or the virus.
Public health agencies have refused to study or to publicly release data comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, according to experts who spoke during Monday’s U.S. Senate roundtable discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel.”
Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of articles covering Monday’s U.S. Senate roundtable discussion, “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?” hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Read earlier coverage here, here and here.
Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), participated in the roundtable. He told The Defender that the corruption of public health agencies was an “issue [that] came up again and again, with solid data,” during the roundtable.
“It was very significant for CHD to have a seat at the table at the briefing and also significant how much Sen. Johnson knew of and appreciated our work,” he said. “We have a much wider reach than we give ourselves credit for and I believe we’ll get more such invitations to speak to and influence congressional representatives.”
“Sen. Johnson and several others are highly energized regarding the woeful pandemic response, including the society-wide release of mRNA technology, with an astounding increase in vaccine adverse events,” Hooker added.
‘Cumulative effect’ of childhood vaccine schedule has never been tested
During Monday’s roundtable, Hooker provided an overview of the childhood vaccination schedule in the U.S. and its expansion over the years.
“In 1962, children received five vaccine doses. In 1986, the schedule expanded to 25 doses of five different vaccine formulations. Shortly after the passage of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, the law was amended to … erect a liability shield protecting vaccine manufacturers — and the schedule expanded dramatically.”
The vaccine schedule has continued to expand. “By 2023, 73 doses of 16 different vaccine formulations were given to children up to age 18,” he said, adding that this expansion occurred despite a lack of safety testing.
“The FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] approved these formulations individually only with minimal and inadequate safety testing, and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] has never tested the cumulative effect of the vaccine schedule on childhood health outcomes,” he said.
“None of the 14 routine vaccines on the CDC’s recommended schedule … was ever put through long-term double-blind placebo-based safety trials prior to licensure,” Bigtree said. “Since this type of trial is really the only way to establish that a pharmaceutical product is safe, it is misinformation to state that the vaccines are safe.”
Hooker said research shows “that for every one child that is saved from death from COVID-19, there are 30 child deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. So, the risk-to-benefit ratio in terms of mortality is 30 to 1.”
Bigtree said the incidence of chronic illness in children has significantly increased.
“In the 1980s, when we were giving 11 doses of about three vaccines, the chronic illness rate, which includes neurological and autoimmune disease, was 12.8%. Once we passed the 1986 Act and we had the gold rush of vaccines explode … the chronic illness rate, neurological and autoimmune disease skyrocket[ed] to 54%,” he said.
Bigtree also noted that the latter figure refers to data from 2011-2012, saying the situation may have worsened since then.
“We have no idea since then how bad this has gotten. But what you were looking at right there is the greatest decline in public health in human history,” he said.
“The warning label lists nearly 50 potential side effects, many of them serious, and that is just the first vaccine given to a baby on their first day of life,” he said. “The safety study for that hepatitis B vaccine was only four days long and had no placebo comparator. That is not science, that’s insanity.”
“We currently have a lawsuit trying to have that vaccine removed until they do proper safety testing,” Bigtree said, referring to ICAN v. FDA, filed in March 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. A decision is pending.
Government withholding data on outcomes for vaccinated, unvaccinated children
According to Hooker, government health agencies possess data on health outcomes for vaccinated and unvaccinated children but have refused to publicize it.
“They do not publish the results [or] let any independent scientist in to look at that information,” he said. “They refuse to publish the results and they really know why. It’s because the bloated vaccination schedule is responsible and is, I would say, in part responsible for the epidemic of chronic disorders that we see in children in the U.S.”
Hooker said public health agencies “have the records,” which are contained in “a database called the Vaccine Safety Datalink. It’s over 10 million individuals, with 2 million from 10 participating HMOs … I would say that within that database there are at least 10,000 unvaccinated children that can be studied.”
He added: “You are not able to access the Vaccine Safety Datalink, which has almost 30 years’ worth of research from these HMOs. It should be open to the public.”
Hooker said the CDC has not responded to “over 120 FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests” he submitted, adding that he has “gone through congressional representatives to get the Vaccine Safety Datalink itself. It is simply something that they will not do.”
According to Hooker, this is because of financial conflicts of interest involving the CDC.
“CDC buys and sells $5 billion worth of vaccines a year through the Vaccines for Children program. They also spend half a billion dollars a year … advertising and through public relationship campaigns for vaccinations in general, as compared to a woeful budget of $50 million that is being used for vaccine safety every year.”
Public health agencies ‘derelict in their duty … to protect children’
Speaking on the “War Room” Monday, Hooker said government health agencies have not fulfilled their duties toward the public.
“The CDC, FDA and NIH (National Institutes of Health) are derelict in their duty … to protect children and adults against vaccine injury in order to report to Congress the state of vaccine safety science, and their responsibility to the American public and to public health in order to protect the American public,” according to Hooker.
Hooker continued, “The CDC will not look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated children” because “they know what the outcome would be and independent researchers have shown that for a large number of chronic diseases, even infectious diseases, the unvaccinated children fare better, and the unvaccinated children are healthier.”
Noting that “28 vaccines are given in the first year of life, one vaccine on the first day of life and upwards to eight vaccines when an infant is just two months old,” Hooker said. “If you look at the aluminum toxicity alone, it far surpasses the single-day toxicity limit for aluminum exposure in newborns.”
“There is no study, no official study by the CDC, FDA, NIH where they’ve looked at the 28 vaccines in totality, what the cumulative effect would be versus completely unvaccinated children. They just refuse to do that study,” he said.
Hooker added that “When you look at developmental delays, when you look at asthma, when you look at ear infections, when you look at allergies, when you look at ADD [attention deficit disorder], ADHD [attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder], autism,” unvaccinated children fare “way better.”
Financial conflicts of interest involving public health agencies were further addressed by Booker in his interview with Bannon.
“50% of [the FDA’s] revenues come from Big Pharma through what’s called the Fast Track Program,” Hooker said.
“CDC buys and sells $5 billion worth of vaccines through the Vaccines for Children program. They buy them and then they distribute them to the public health departments of the states. And so, government agency capture is what follows from the financial entanglements with these agencies,” he added.
Hooker said this was the impetus for writing the book he co-authored with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., CHD’s chairman on leave, titled “Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak.”
“The reason why Kennedy and I wrote the book is, we wanted to do these comparisons and really emphasize these are studies that the government refused,” Hooker said.
‘Many more people’ questioning the ‘vaccine construct’
Hooker told Bannon that despite government censorship, an increasing percentage of the public is becoming aware of adverse health outcomes related to childhood vaccines.
He said:
“Before the COVID-19 vaccine or COVID-19 pandemic, those of us that were concerned about vaccine safety were considered to be on the fringes. But more and more people started to question the government’s motives, the foisting of a completely new genetic technology on the population, untested.
“And so, many, many more people are opting out of vaccination … and many, many more people besides that are questioning the whole vaccine construct.”
Hooker told Bannon he “want[s] to see us move from briefings to hearings” and called for legislation that would require “all of the books to be open.”
“All of that needs to be opened up. All the coffers, all the redacted emails from Tony Fauci and Francis Collins. Everything needs to [come to] light,” he said.
Separately, Hooker told The Defender that Johnson is planning on holding more briefings that are very similar in scope to Monday’s hearing. “Johnson and others in the U.S. Senate are poised to hold hearings and introduce legislation depending on what happens in the November elections,” he said.
Hooker said he’d like to see Congress apply more pressure on the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “to release hidden information regarding the pandemic as well as the entirety of the Vaccine Safety Datalink.”
“I’ve tried for years to get them to release the data with no success,” he said. “I hope to continue to beat the drum with more powerful voices so the information will be released and available for independent scientists.”
The vaccine industry intentionally deceives us about the risks and benefits of vaccines in order to make a profit, with complete disregard for human suffering and the destruction of public health over time
One of the reasons the polio vaccine doesn’t work is because polio isn’t caused by an infectious virus. It’s caused by toxins. Poliovirus is a commensal virus that is completely harmless in the absence of toxic onslaught
The changing of definitions is part of the vaccine industry’s playbook. The definition of a “vaccine” was radically altered to allow for the use of experimental modified RNA gene therapy
Another part of the fraud is using another vaccine as the control in lieu of a true placebo. You simply cannot prove a vaccine is safe by comparing it to another, most likely unsafe, vaccine
According to Dr. Suzanne Humphries, there are no worthwhile vaccines, not even smallpox or tetanus. Tetanus can be successfully treated using high-dose intravenous vitamin C and other essential nutrients
Vitamin C works because tetanus is a bacterial disease caused by an obligate anaerobe that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Other oxidative therapies that could be used if the infection is related to a wound include hydrogen peroxide and ozone therapy
In this interview, Dr. Suzanne Humphries discusses the recent update to her classic book, “Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History,” published in 2013. “Dissolving Illusions” is one of my favorite books on vaccines, so I was honored to write the foreword for this 10th anniversary edition.
The ‘Safe and Effective’ Narrative Is a Carefully Fabricated Illusion
That word, “illusions,” is an apt one, because the vaccine industry really is all about promoting illusions. They intentionally deceive us about the risks and benefits of vaccines in order to make a profit, with complete disregard for human suffering.
“What I’ve learned over 15 years of really immersing myself in this is that it’s the same old story over and over and over again,” Humphries says. “Sometimes people ask me, ‘What is the driver? Why do they do this?’ My answer is that I cannot completely answer why. Yes, certainly, there’s greed involved, especially today, but I think there’s probably some more sinister operations at play.
The one thing we can say is that for 225 years, the same story has been repeated over and over again, which is that vaccines come out, and they make previous diseases that were not really very problematic worse. The vaccines cause problems.
The death rates were always coming down for any disease before any therapy came in at all, whether it’s an antibiotic or a vaccine … Trying to help humans live better, longer lives, to strengthen their bodies and their resilience, that’s always been the key.
Yet at the same time, there’s been this dampening force over humanity, contaminating the blood of humanity with animal products and disease, viruses and spores and things that you can’t even imagine. They used to call the smallpox vaccine ‘pure lymph,’ but it was pus. It’s a horror story. It’s always been a horror story. So, to me, COVID was just another day at the office.”
Malicious Acts
In the interview, Humphries recounts the impetus behind the book. She first became aware that vaccines might be problematic when she was working as a nephrologist in northern Maine.
After a three-years-long struggle with the hospital administration, who refused to listen to any of her concerns, she finally got out, paid off her student loans and moved into a pop-up camper on a friend’s farm in Virginia, where she wrote the first edition of “Dissolving Illusions,” together with Roman Bystrianyk, who had been researching the history of disease and vaccines since 1998.
She spent the next seven years giving lectures around the world, and got her fair share of death threats. The brake line on her car was sabotaged, someone shot a crossbow arrow into the ground in front of her front door, and an obvious nut job detailed how he intended to torture and kill her in horrible ways. All for speaking out about the hazards of vaccines and the lies that keep the vaccine industry going.
“I think it’s because when you’re someone that has credibility — I was considered a top doctor in Maine, as a nephrologist — and comes out saying what I was saying, it is a big threat. It’s not necessarily that I was some important person, but it was where I came from,” she says.
Humphries also recounts how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been hiding vaccine injuries by deleting reports filed.
“I started reporting these vaccine injuries to the CDC. I would report them because my colleagues around me wouldn’t. But then they started bringing them to me, going ‘Here’s another one, Suzanne. Here’s another one.’ Each time I would report one, I would get a call from the CDC saying, ‘OK, someone else will be calling you,’ and then I’d get another call.
It was just a creepy, weird thing. Then after six months, I get a call from the main representative of the CDC, this doctor, and we had a flat out fight on the phone. He said to me, ‘What happened to you that you think all these vaccines are causing so many problems?’
I’m like, ‘What happened to me is that I’ve been watching it happen, and then you’re giving this live flu vaccine to children when the insert tells you exactly the symptoms you’re going to get, which is the flu.’ He’s like, ‘Well, that’s my specialty and that absolutely doesn’t happen.’ I said, ‘Well, I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on that.’ He hung up on me, and that was the last I ever heard of him.
And guess what? They never made it to the VAERS database. They were deleted. I had the actual vaccine lot numbers. Everything was meticulously documented in these reports.”
What’s in the ‘Dissolving Illusions’ Update?
One of the silver linings of the COVID mass injection campaign is that it has awakened many to the notion that vaccines aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. The COVID shots are so toxic, even though the injuries are being swept under the carpet like never before, there are just so many of them that the carnage cannot be hidden. And, because government and health authorities refuse to acknowledge the problem, many are now questioning all vaccines, not just the COVID shot.
“It’s a dark night of the soul when you wake up to it,” Humphries says. “Your whole world does get a bit shattered, because you start to realize that the entire medical system is corrupt and backwards and that there’s probably better ways to do just about everything.
And you know what? For 225 years, doctors have been saying that, and for 225 years, those doctors have been ignored. That’s one of the reasons we wrote the second book, ‘The Dissolving Illusions Companion book.’
It’s another huge book, about 600 pages, with 230-something doctors giving different quotes about what they saw, boots on the ground, for smallpox vaccines to the toxoid vaccines to scarlet fever, typhoid, and the worsening of all diseases that occurred after they gave vaccines.
Some of them basically come out and say, ‘The entire profession of medicine is a complete waste of time. [They’re doing] damage to humanity. It would be better if all the doctors just were taken off the Earth and for humanity to do nothing.’
What we’ve done over the past 10 years is, in my travels, I would have to do more research to present different diseases. I would go one place and they say, ‘We want to hear about tetanus,’ or they want to hear more about whooping cough. More medical literature has also come out. So, we’ve added basically another book to ‘Dissolving Illusions.’
We’ve expanded it by 200 pages. We’ve added on a chapter on tuberculosis, which was called the White Plague. There’s an extra addition to the smallpox chapter. I’ve added about 20 or 30 new pages to the pertussis chapter. There is a chapter on deadly medicine, the practices from the early 1800s through to the 1940s that were provably causing lots of harm.
Roman came up with more charts. There’s a follow-up on the polio chapter. Dr. Jacob Puliyel, who lives in India, wrote the papers on the oral polio vaccines, how they were causing paralysis in children. We added those follow-up papers, as well as a lot of other data that we left out of the original chapter to try to save space, but it’s so important, it really needs to be put out there.”
The Polio Illusion
Based on the available science, Humphries is convinced that one of the reasons the polio vaccine doesn’t work is because polio isn’t caused by an infectious virus. It’s caused by toxins. Poliovirus is a commensal virus that is completely harmless in the absence of toxic onslaught.
“We have to distinguish poliovirus from poliomyelitis,” Humphries explains. “Poliomyelitis is when there’s damage to a certain part of the spinal cord or the brain stem in the gray matter and causes paralysis in one or more muscle groups. It can cause paralysis to nerves that supply the diaphragm, which is why the iron lung was brought in.
[Poliomyelitis] was always attributed to a virus, which is really interesting when you consider that the early researchers were trying to infect monkeys with poliovirus and they couldn’t infect them. They stuck it up their noses. They would inject it into their bodies. They couldn’t cause paralysis in these monkeys until they injected matter from other paralyzed humans or animals into their brains.
That’s what it took to actually paralyze them. It’s a commensal virus. Polio is a commensal virus that has existed from time immemorial. When researchers went down to the Brazilian rainforest and found the Xavante Indians and convinced them to give them some blood samples and fecal samples, they found that just about 100% of these native people were colonized with polio, and there was no history of paralysis anywhere in the tribes.
Nobody talked about people that couldn’t breathe. They were fetchingly healthy. Same happened in the Philippines. When you look at the people living close to the earth, living healthy lives, and then comes the … [Western] lifestyle habits of sugar, tobacco, medicines that contain mercury, lead, arsenic and vaccinations spreading syphilis.
Latent syphilis gives you poliomyelitis. Lead can give you poliomyelitis. Arsenic is probably the most interesting, because not only does it clinically give you the exact scenario of poliomyelitis, but even in the spinal cord, it’s exactly the same. That’s been proven. I’m not a virus denier. There is actual virus that is commensal.”
Are Viruses Real?
By now, you’ve probably heard the theory that there are no viruses, period. That the entire field of virology is a hoax, and that what we perceive as viruses are merely a type of cellular debris being shed when your body is trying to detox. Having delved deep into the science of infectious disease, Humphries disagrees with this theory. Viruses do exist. The question is whether they’re as dangerous as they’re made out to be. Humphries comments:
“You get chickenpox one time and you’re immune to it forever. You can be exposed to it over and over again and you don’t get it. Well, if it’s a detox, like they say, why doesn’t it carry on? I’m still as polluted as I probably was 10 years ago. I’m not getting chickenpox over and over again. I got it one time.
Why do these children that are nonimmune get it? … When you look at it that way, it’s like, ‘Come on, people. These viruses are all different. They have different manifestations.’ Influenza virus is a completely different entity.
The measles virus hasn’t really shifted genetically very much over the years. The natural one hasn’t. What’s really shifted it is the vaccines. When you start injecting people with the virus, having it go into the body in an unnatural way so that there is not a full immune response, that’s what causes mutations in the viruses because they’re able to work their way around the vaccine.
It’s happened very slowly with measles. It happened very quickly with the whooping cough bacteria, because of the really inefficient vaccine that was created for that.
The flu shots don’t work at all. Even Anthony Fauci came out with paper in 2023 that was almost a confession; about how poorly they’ve done with these viral vaccines and flu shots, and how if they were compared to all the other vaccines, they wouldn’t even be allowed to be on the market.
He said the COVID vaccines have the same problem. It’s because they’re not getting immunity where immunity is required, which is on the lung and the mucosal surfaces. How crazy to inject into a muscle a vaccine and think that you’re going to get solid immunity on the nasal and upper respiratory mucosa. Absolute insanity.
Same with the polio vaccine … Salk comes along and creates this injectable vaccine. They had to manipulate that data so much. They had to change the definition of what they considered as polio.
That’s what we added to [the polio] chapter. We’re showing the charts and what they would look like in their pure form, without changing the definitions. The rates of polio actually went up hugely after that vaccine was introduced. So, there’s never been a vaccine that’s really worthwhile giving.”
Changing Definitions Is Part of the Illusion
The changing of definitions is part of the vaccine industry’s playbook. They had to do the same for the COVID pandemic. Not only was the definition of “pandemic” changed, but also the definition of a “vaccine,” to allow for the use of experimental modified RNA gene therapy.
“They did the same thing they did with the Salk vaccine,” Humphries says. “See, history just repeats itself. So, the first vaccine that came out, the Salk vaccine, had merthiolate [thimerosal], a mercury compound, in it to kill off unwanteds, but Salk wasn’t happy with the field trials — the results of the antibody response from those children — so they took the merthiolate out.
So, we had one vaccine that was used for the testing and another that was given to the public. The same happened with the COVID vaccine. The mRNA technology, that’s not how the original ones were given.
I did a talk not that long ago in Denver, where I went into this in depth; how the vaccine that was given for the trials was completely different to the one given to the public. It was much more pure for instance … It was a very, very different vaccine that was used on the population. Then of course, that vaccine changed. So, different companies had different ways of manufacturing.”
Another part of the fraud is using another vaccine as the control in lieu of a true placebo. You simply cannot prove a vaccine is safe by comparing it to another, most likely unsafe, vaccine.
Yet that’s how it’s done. By using a toxic “control,” many of the adverse effects are automatically hidden as people in the control group end up suffering similar adverse events, and at a similar rate. This tactic was used in some of the COVID shot trials as well.
Why You Don’t Need a Tetanus Vaccine
According to Humphries, there are no worthwhile vaccines, not even smallpox or tetanus, and certainly not the polio vaccine. She’s treated several cases of tetanus in the last five years, including in at least one fully vaccinated individual, using high-dose intravenous vitamin C and other essential nutrients.
One of the reasons why this works is because tetanus is not a viral disease. It’s a bacterial disease caused by the Clostridium tetani bacterium, an obligate anaerobe. It can reside in soils, but it can also reside in your intestine where there’s no oxygen.
Oxygen is toxic to it. If you expose that organism to oxygen, as you do with vitamin C (because the metabolite of vitamin C is hydrogen peroxide), it’s instantaneously killed. Ozone therapy would likely be even more effective, for this reason.
So, if you get tetanus from a wound, the last thing you need is a tetanus shot or tetanus antibodies. All you need to do is apply ozone to the wound. It’ll instantly destroy the bacteria. Applying hydrogen peroxide would also work. As explained by Humphries, vitamin C is also a neutralizer of toxins, which is another reason it works.
Tetanus is a spore, and it transforms under anaerobic conditions into a toxin-producing organism. If you can neutralize the toxin and kill the microbe, then you’ve won the battle. One hundred percent, we’ve won the battle. Humphries comments:
“In rabbit studies, they got tetanus spores and ground glass and put it under the skin of rabbits, sewed it up. If they gave rabbits vitamin C at the time that they did this, 100% of them survived. If they did it afterwards, the majority of them survived. If they already had high levels of vitamin C, all of them survived.
So, the rabbit study showed us that not only is tetanus preventable, it’s treatable. I don’t necessarily believe that by [injecting] a toxoid, that you’re going to respond …
There are so many case reports of people with paralytic tetanus after having five vaccines … I don’t care what wound I have. There’s no way a tetanus vaccine or a tetanus immune globulin, which is a human pooled blood product, is going into me …
[The tetanus shot] actually changes your T-3 to T-4 ratio. This is all documented. I didn’t put it in the book, but I’ve got a video out there from when I was in Finland, showing that it definitely changes the way your immune system works. All vaccines do.”
More Information
What people have to realize is that the schemes used to push the COVID shots is nothing new. “It’s pretty much exactly the same as it’s been for 225 years, where the recipients are not the beneficiaries of this technology and humanity is not getting healthier by any means as a result of it,” Humphries says.
To truly understand the vaccine industry’s modus operandi, be sure to pick up Humphries’ “Dissolving Illusions” 10th anniversary edition. It’s coming out in two forms: a standard hard copy, and a special coffee table edition. The standard hard copy has been translated into 10 languages, with more coming. Kindle and audio book formats are also available.
Also consider picking up a copy of “The Dissolving Illusion’s Companion” book, which features the quotes of hundreds of doctors, stories of vaccination tragedies, the timeline of vaccines, rare documents that have been scrubbed off the internet, a recommended reading list and much more. For more details and free sample chapters, see dissolvingillusions.com. In closing, Humphries comments:
“This is a really important point: It’s not just about not vaccinating. If you’re going to feed your children garbage and if you’re not going to have a healthy lifestyle, I say go vaccinate, because when you get sick and you have to go to the hospital, you’re going to be abused.
But if people follow your recommendations — you’re like the underscore to ‘Dissolving Illusions,’ you’re the solution to how to stay healthy so that the perceived need for these vaccines isn’t there …
Historically, [survival] has not been about vaccines. It’s not been about medications, it’s not been about antibiotics. It’s always been about plumbing, nutrition, fresh air, vitamin D, lifestyle, and keeping poisons out of our bodies. That’s always what it’s been about in terms of survival.
Does that mean we’ll never get sick? No, it doesn’t. But I personally believe it’s good to get sick once in a while and get some of that effusions out of your lungs and your nose. I think that does us some good once in a while.”
The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance has updated its treatment protocols for long COVID and post-jab injuries, adding time-restricted eating (TRE) and photobiomodulation (PBM), using either the sun or near-infrared sauna
The primary benefit of TRE for these conditions is its ability to optimize your mitochondrial function, which is key for recovery from any illness or disease. As a general rule, I recommend compressing your eating window to between six and eight hours, and fasting for the remaining 16 to 18 hours each day
Near-infrared light triggers production of melatonin in your mitochondria. Melatonin is one of the most important antioxidant molecules in your body. Aside from having direct antioxidant effects, it also stimulates the synthesis of glutathione and other important antioxidants
Fifty-three percent of sunlight is near-infrared. Sauna Space also makes near-infrared sauna bulbs that mimic the sun, providing 39% near-infrared light, but no UV
You can further optimize your mitochondria by combining PBM with methylene blue. This combination has been shown to provide neuroprotective benefits. It can also address the chronic fatigue that is so common in long COVID and post-jab injuries
The video above features the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s (FLCCC) weekly update for October 26, 2022, in which I reviewed the benefits of two of the latest additions to the FLCCC’s long COVID recovery protocol,1 and their post-jab recovery protocol:2 time-restricted eating (TRE) and photobiomodulation using either the sun or a near-infrared sauna. Leading the discussion are FLCCC cofounders Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory.
Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)
The vast majority of people eat across 12 hours or more, which is a recipe for metabolic disaster. Health statistics bear this out. In July 2022, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology3 posted an update on the metabolic fitness or flexibility of the American population.
Metabolic fitness includes things like blood glucose and blood sugar, blood pressure and weight, and metabolic flexibility refers to your body’s ability to seamlessly transition between burning fat and carbohydrates as your primary fuel.
In 2016, 12.2% of Americans were considered metabolically fit.4 Two years later, in 2018, only 6.8% of U.S. adults had optimal cardiometabolic health.5 That was four years ago, so today, that ratio is probably even lower.
I believe at least 95% of Americans are by now metabolically unhealthy, which means some 19 out of 20 people would benefit from TRE, as it’s one of the easiest yet most powerful interventions for reducing insulin resistance, restoring metabolic flexibility and losing excess body fat.
As it pertains to long COVID and post-jab recovery, the primary benefit of TRE is its ability to optimize your mitochondrial function, which is key for recovery from any illness or disease.
As a general rule, I recommend compressing your eating window to between six and eight hours, and fasting for the remaining 16 to 18 hours each day. The timing of that eating window is important though.
You want to avoid eating first thing in the morning (wait at least two or three hours) and you want to avoid eating right before bed. Ideally, have your last meal at least three hours or more before bedtime. So, to give you an example, you could eat all your meals between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., or 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Near-Infrared Exposure and Melatonin
Another important mitochondrial tool is strategic use of near infrared light and its impact on melatonin, which is one of the most important antioxidant molecules in your body. Aside from having direct antioxidant effects, it also stimulates the synthesis of glutathione and other important antioxidants like superoxide dismutase and catalase.
While commonly thought of as something produced only in the pineal gland of your brain, which is produced in response to darkness, it only accounts for 5% of the melatonin in your body. A couple of years ago, Dr. Russel Reiter published a groundbreaking paper explaining that the vast majority, 95%, is actually made within the mitochondria inside your cells,6 where it is produced in response to near-infrared light, which could be from the sun or near-infrared sauna bulbs.
Considering melatonin combats oxidative damage, it makes sense that most of it is made in your mitochondria, because that’s precisely where a majority of the oxidative damage occurs — in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. So, it’s a truly phenomenal system. The key that makes this system work, however, is exposure to near-infrared light. To dive deeper into this topic, see my interview with Reiter.
This is one of the reasons why exposing as much bare skin as possible to the sun for an hour a day is my No. 1 recommendation to optimize your health. And it’s free. As you can see in the graph below, 52% of the sun’s rays are near-infrared.
As noted by Marik, many shy away from sun exposure as a source of UV and near IR for fear of skin cancer. This is yet another example of medical propaganda. The fact is the sun is a nutrient that will actually decrease your risk of both skin cancer and internal cancers, provided you avoid sun burn.
Another little-known fact is that the fats in your diet can, to a significant degree, dictate how predisposed you are to burning and sun-related skin damage. The key is to limit omega-6 fats in your diet. That means avoiding processed foods, foods cooked in seed oils, and animal foods raised on seed oils and/or grains, such as chicken and pork.
Omega-6 seed oils are primarily linoleic acid (LA), a polyunsaturated fat that is highly susceptible to oxidative damage when exposed to a variety of stressors. What’s more LA can remain embedded in your cell membranes and tissues for up to seven years, all the while wreaking havoc and causing damage through oxidative stress.
As it pertains to sun exposure, the LA embedded in your cell membranes gets activated by the exposure to the sun, which contributes to skin damage. Once you drastically reduce or eliminate LA from your diet, your risk of sunburn will be dramatically reduced over time, as will your risk of skin cancer.
General Benefits of Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Light in the red and infrared range has several important health benefits, including:
Increasing mitochondrial ATP production
Increasing heat shock proteins, which help proteins maintain their three-dimensional structure and refold misfolded proteins
Activating cell stress responses
Increasing autophagy
Reducing inflammation
Speeding up wound healing
Near-infrared light specifically, which is invisible to the naked eye, can penetrate 5 to 7 inches into your body, into your subcutaneous tissue, muscle tissue, bone and even interior tissues as you can see by the graphic below. This is in stark contrast to far IR that most saunas use, which penetrates less than half an inch.
This is what makes near-infrared saunas so useful, as you can boost melatonin production throughout your entire body, including your organs, thereby detoxing and healing them. In comparison, far-infrared penetrates only 1 to 2 millimeters, yet far-infrared is, unfortunately, what most commercially available electrical saunas use.
General Benefits of Sauna Therapy
Research has demonstrated sauna use can:
Improve cardiovascular fitness and lower your risk of death from cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack
Lower your blood pressure
Lower your risk of dementia
Improve your mood and mental health, and reduce symptoms of depression, in part by sensitizing opioid receptors
Strengthen your immune function
Reduce all-cause mortality
Improve athletic endurance
Reduce inflammation by lowering c-reactive protein, and increasing IL-10 and IL-6 (aka, myokine), and activating Nrf2
Activate and replenish stem cells
Improve fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity
Reduce the stress hormone cortisol7
All of these benefits occur in a dose-dependent manner, so the more frequent your sauna use, the more robust your benefits will be. For example, using the sauna two to three times a week has been shown to reduce your risk of cardiac death by about 22% compared to once-a-week use, whereas those who use it seven times a week lower their risk by 63%.
Similarly, those who use it four to seven times a week have a 40% lower all-cause mortality risk than those who use it only once a week. To learn more about these and other health benefits of sauna therapy, see “The Stunning Health Benefits of Sauna Therapy.”
Different Saunas Provide Different Sets of Benefits
Many of the benefits listed above are related to the heat exposure alone, and for heat, it doesn’t much matter what type of sauna you use: a traditional thermal Finnish sauna, a far-infrared sauna or a near-infrared one. Although one needs to be careful as many far IR saunas simply do not get hot enough to generate heat shock proteins and detox.
Near-infrared saunas have benefits that you simply cannot get with the others. Below is a simple chart showing the differences in benefits between the three primary types of saunas available in the U.S.
As you can see, all will provide detoxification to some degree (although the detox provided by far-infrared is questionable, seeing how it barely penetrates your tissue. Far-infrared saunas also oftentimes cannot get hot enough for efficient detox, which requires you to sweat profusely). Detoxification is something just about every person needs, as we’re surrounded by toxins and take them in with both food and water.
Unstructured proteins tend to aggregate, and these aggregates can then form plaques in your vascular system or brain, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular problems. Heat shock proteins serve a really crucial role in keeping these kinds of problems at bay.
All three will also generate heat shock proteins to some degree. As mentioned earlier, heat shock proteins are important because they refold misfolded proteins and all of us have misfolded proteins.
Unstructured proteins tend to aggregate, and these aggregates can then form plaques in your vascular system or brain, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular problems, so heat shock proteins serve a really crucial role in keeping these kinds of problems at bay.
Again, there’s a question mark by far-infrared, as many far-infrared saunas can’t get hot enough. Near-infrared saunas also are nowhere near as hot as the Finnish-style sauna, but they don’t need to be, due to the extreme penetration. You’ll sweat profusely and activate heat shock proteins even though the air temperature is lower than a Finnish thermal sauna.
You can determine if your sauna is hot enough for you by measuring your temperature with an oral thermometer. It should be around 101 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit as you finish your sauna. You could also weigh yourself before and after the sauna and you should lose between 2 and 4 pounds of water (sweat). This would be one pint to one quart of water.
Next on the list, melatonin production. This can only be achieved in a near-infrared sauna, as melatonin is not produced in response to mere heat or light in the far-infrared range.
The Importance of an EMF-Free Sauna
Lastly, there’s the issue of adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF). I published a book about this in early 2020, called “EMF*D.” Virtually no far-infrared saunas on the market are truly EMF-free, even when advertised as such. The reason for this is because EMFs include both electric and magnetic fields, and most saunas address only one of these.
If you’re using a wood-burning Finnish sauna, it will of course be EMF-free, but almost no one has that in the U.S. Most Finnish-style saunas sold here use electrical heaters and emit electrical fields. When you’re detoxing, you want to be in a parasympathetic environment. When you’re exposed to EMFs, it activates your sympathetic nervous system, which impairs your ability to detox properly.
The near-infrared Sauna Space sauna that I use and recommend has no EMFs. And, again, while traditional and some FIR saunas can provide outstanding benefits in detox and heat shock protein generation, neither of them provide the light wavelengths to generate PBM benefits.
What Make Sauna Space’s Bulbs so Unique
Sauna Space uses incandescent heat lamps (shown in the photo further below) that produce the majority of the heat as mid-infrared, plus a significant percentage of near- and mid-infrared frequencies that provide PBM benefits. The spectral distribution of these bulbs is shown in the following graph.
As mentioned, 53% of sunlight is near-infrared, and the Sauna Space bulbs mimic sunlight with 39% of the light being in the near-infrared range. (They do not have any UV light, however, so you will not make vitamin D. The bulbs only mimic sunlight in terms of their infrared distribution.) This is vastly superior to the average red heat lamp (graph below), in which only 14% is near-infrared.
Sauna Space is the only company that I know of that makes these kinds of bulbs, so they’ve really cornered the market, at least for now. Using these, you’ll be able to make the absolute best, most effective sauna there is, as you’re getting both the standard sauna benefits and the PBM benefits, and none of the EMF hazards.
Optimizing Photobiomodulation With Methylene Blue
If you want to further optimize your mitochondria, you can combine PBM (the near-infrared light) with methylene blue. A 2020 paper8 in Translational Neurodegeneration reviews the benefits of this combination, specifically as it refers to neuroprotection. I believe this combination can also be very valuable in the treatment of long COVID and in post-jab recovery, many symptoms of which are neurological in character.
In 1890, the German physician Dr. Paul Ehrlich published a study showing methylene blue could effectively treat malaria. Interestingly, many of the most useful drugs for COVID are antimalarial and antiparasitic drugs such as hydroxychloroquine. Well, methylene blue is the parent molecule to chloroquine.
Methylene blue can be particularly useful for addressing the fatigue that is so common in long COVID. You can learn more in “The Surprising Health Benefits of Methylene Blue,” in which I interview Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Ph.D., who has spent many years studying this drug.
In closing, you can find the latest, updated protocols for long COVID9 and post-jab injuries10 on the FLCCC’s website. These protocols are continually updated as the team learns more.

In this interview with Howie Mandel and his daughter, Jackelyn Shultz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s knowledge and poise shine through — even as his motives and integrity are questioned. Kennedy remains respectful and is eager to have an open, honest debate — a trait he says he learned as a child.
“I was raised in a milieu where we were taught every night to debate each other [and] hold opinions passionately,” Kennedy says.1 Now running for president of the United States, Kennedy says he’s a favorite among people under 35, women with children under 18 and other key groups — but not yet among Baby Boomers.
“They don’t like me because they get their news from TV. And people who get their news from TV are going to have a very low opinion of me because the television networks are, you know, uniformly against me.”2
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kennedy was a frequent guest on CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets — until he started saying controversial things. He’s since been heavily censored, but his desire to speak the truth to the American people has prevailed.
Kennedy Shares Realities About the Ukraine War
U.S. meddling in the Ukraine conflict reveals that it is not willing to relinquish its imperialistic tendencies. But censorship has silenced any open discussion that goes against the official narrative on the war in Ukraine.
The mainstream media are clear in their message that the Ukraine war is the result of an unprovoked and unjustified invasion, but there’s a history to it. Russia has long been very clear about the fact that it will not allow Ukraine to join NATO, for the simple fact that it would place a NATO military presence right on its border. Russia wants Ukraine to remain an independent “buffer zone” between itself and NATO countries.
“The entire Russian leadership was horrified about the idea of NATO going into Ukraine just as we wouldn’t allow Russia to put bases in Mexico or Canada,” Kennedy says.3 Rather than promoting peace, the U.S. has pushed for the escalation of conflict in a war that’s not really about defending democracy.
“Eisenhower made this extraordinary speech — and probably we should regard it as the most important speech in American history — where he warned America about the emergence of a military-industrial complex that would transform our exemplary democracy into imperium abroad with endless wars and a surveillance state.”4
Lies About COVID Shots
Mandel tries to label Kennedy an “antivaxxer,” but he again shares the facts about his stance on vaccines, including COVID-19 shots. “If you show me a vaccine that was safe and effective that did what it was supposed to do, I would have no problem with it,” Kennedy says.5
“The problem that I have with vaccines I think is a problem that every American would have if they knew the truth, which is that vaccines are the only medical product that are exempt from safety testing,” he says.6 While they’re tested for efficacy, the safety component is missing:7
“The FDA requires that prior to license you have Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 efficacy testing … they don’t require safety testing … if a vaccine is going to save you from COVID but raise your heart attack rate by 500%, it is effective against COVID but it’s not safe.”
Kennedy said he didn’t get a COVID-19 shot because “I read the safety study, and the Pfizer study showed that there were … 23% more [deaths] among vaccinated people than there were among unvaccinated.”8 Meanwhile, Mandel tries to say that health officials never said COVID-19 shots would prevent COVID, but Kennedy provides several examples showing this to be false. Software engineer Chief Nerd tweeted:9
“Howie Mandel Tries to Rewrite History on the COVID Vaccine & Immediately Gets Schooled by RFK Jr. HOWIE: ‘They never said you won’t get COVID’ RFK JR: ‘I saw a tape yesterday of them all saying it … Can I play it for you?’ HOWIE: ‘Well, wait wait wait … It doesn’t matter what Rachel Maddow said.’”
Kennedy’s 2021 book, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” became a runaway best seller, selling over a million copies, despite unprecedented censorship. He describes a coalition of sinister forces — intelligence agencies, pharmaceutical companies, social media titans, medical bureaucracies, mainstream media and the military — that used health crisis to impose totalitarian control worldwide.
He shares how COVID-19 lockdowns caused 3.3 million businesses to shut down, many of which will not reopen. According to Kennedy, 41% of Black-owned businesses that closed during the pandemic are permanently bankrupt, “and a lot of them had three generations of equity in them.”
Further, $4 trillion was shifted from the American middle class to a new oligarchy of billionaires.10 Meanwhile, the government fining people for spending time outdoors while refusing to treat sick COVID patients in hospitals defied all common sense and reason. Kennedy shares the underlying motives:11
“They weren’t treating people. It’s the first time there’s been a respiratory illness in history — if you go to hospital with a flu, they’ll give you something for all your symptoms — they said no nothing [for COVID]. Why were they doing that? …
Because there is a little-known federal law that says if there is an existing drug that has been approved for any purpose that is demonstrated effective against the target illness, it is illegal to grant an emergency use authorization for a vaccine for that disease.”
Regulatory Capture Is Putting Americans at Risk
Kennedy states vaccines are one factor in the epidemics of chronic disease and autism in children, but there are many other factors as well. He mentions atrazine, glyphosate, forever chemicals and high fructose corn syrup for starters, along with cell phone radiation. But while public health agencies conduct research on drugs and vaccines, they’re not looking into the underlying causes of chronic diseases facing Americans:12
“All our kids today are swimming around in a toxic soup and we have a public health agency — NIH [National Institutes of Health] — that used to be the premier public health agency in the world. It has a budget of $42 billion a year. It distributes that money to 56,000 scientists in research institutions and universities. We’re supposed to be doing research to protect public health. Why is nobody doing research to figure out what is causing these epidemics?
… If you try to do that research you’re going to get career punishment for doing it and the NIH will not fund it. What they will fund is … research on drugs to treat food allergies. They’ll fund research on drugs to treat asthma but they will not look at what is causing it and that data is out there.”
Describing the situation as “agency capture on steroids,” Kennedy uses the example of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which gets 50% of its budget from pharmaceutical companies. The NIH, meanwhile, owns thousands of pharmaceutical patents, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spends $4.9 billion a year out of its $12 billion budget buying and distributing vaccines.
“It is the biggest vaccine company in the world,” Kennedy says. The NIH actually owns half the patent for Moderna’s COVID-19 injection.13 Further, he says, “If you’re a scientist at NIH and you work on a product that then becomes a pharmaceutical drug, you get to keep royalties on that product for $150,000 a year. And NIH can keep 50% of the royalties.”14
Because most government agencies have been captured by the industries they’re supposed to regulate, democracy has been subverted, as they’re no longer working for the American people. They’re working for big corporations that are constantly putting profit above safety. But Kennedy, an attorney, says that, as president, he could go in and fix these corrupted agencies overnight:15
“I know how to fix these agencies. When you sue these agencies you get a Ph.D. on how to unravel them. I know the individuals in a lot of these agencies that are causing the problem. I’ve sued I’ve sued NIH, CDC, FDA, EPA, FCC [Federal Communications Commission]. I just won in the court of appeals against the FCC for lying to the public about cell phone radiation and the dangers of that.
Right now, I’m representing a thousand families in East Palestine, Ohio, whose lives were upended by the Norfolk Southern spill. And that’s all because of agency capture at dot that spill happened because of agency capture. It is a direct negligence by DOT [Department of Transportation]. I know how to fix these things. I’m going to go in there and I’m going to fix them overnight.”
Kennedy’s Answer to the Housing Crisis — Give Everyone a ‘Rich Uncle’
Kennedy also touches on the housing crisis, as young people and the middle class become increasingly pushed out of the American dream. A perfect storm of rising interest rates and high housing prices have priced many people out of the market.16
But there are other factors at play, including record-low inventory17 and competition from corporate investors, who purchase homes in cash about 75% of the time.18 Kennedy says he has a solution that will level the playing field and make home ownership more attainable:19
“I have an extensive plan for how to get this generation of kids in their housing … housing prices have gone up from $215,000 two years ago to $400,000 today. Interest rates have gone up from 3% to almost 8% …
I’m going to offer a law that will penalize large companies, large investment firms from owning multiple units of single-family housing so it will no longer be profitable. And that will release a tremendous amount of housing back into the marketplace.
… Right now kids are competing against Blackrock’s bank book so … what I’m going to do is I’m going to issue a new class of … Treasury Bills at 3% interest to people who are buying single family homes, particularly young people and teachers, and I’m going to fund that by issuing these Treasury Bills. I’m going to issue mortgages at 3% …
You know if you have a rich uncle who will co-sign your mortgage, you can get a much better rate because the bank is basing their interest rate not on your lousy credit rating but on your uncle’s fantastic credit rating. I’m going to give everybody a rich uncle — all these young people — which is Uncle Sam, which is going to guarantee your mortgage so you get that 3% rate.”

Even if I were pollinated and fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure I have ever seen, even from partners, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.
People who were capable of such personality, courage and critical ability are undoubtedly the best of humanity. They are everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, states and ideas. They are of a special kind; they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks. They are the parents that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of having. They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered horizons. They are there, next to you, they look normal, but they are superheroes.
They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social exclusion. And they did it because they thought they were alone, and believed they were the only ones.
Banned from their families’ tables at Christmas, they never saw anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money … but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal and humiliation … but they kept going.
Never before in humanity has there been such a “casting”, now we know who are the best on planet Earth. Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races or religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed.
That’s you, you passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, astronauts and geniuses could not withstand.
You are made of the stuff of the greatest who ever lived, those heroes born among ordinary men who glow in the dark.”
Anon
Do NOT comply.
I completely agree that it is up to us individually to resist.
We cannot simply hope that this will pass or that someone will save the day.
Do NOT Comply.
The unvaccinated are the Critical Thinkers, so few but so precious.
Brianne Dressen was “healthy” and “in prime physical condition” when she decided to participate in the clinical trial for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in 2020. But within an hour of her vaccination, she experienced the first of several serious adverse events, resulting in symptoms that “changed every aspect” of her life.
“Instead of being an active, caring parent, I’m essentially a bystander in [my children’s] lives and I get to cheer them on from the sidelines now, instead of being super-mom,” Bressen said. “That, to me, has been the worst punishment of all.”
Doctors told her that she was merely experiencing “anxiety” and, having lost her ability to walk, that she simply “wasn’t trying hard enough.”
But when the NIH abruptly aborted this study in early 2022, “We realized that no one was going to help us, so we had to do it ourselves,” Dressen said. She subsequently founded React19, a nonprofit organization advocating for vaccine injury victims.
Dressen, along with Children’s Health Defense (CHD), has called for the release of government documents relating to the aborted NIH study.
Dressen attended a Feb. 15 U.S. House of Representatives hearing on vaccine safety. She discussed this and more on this week’s “The Defender In-Depth” podcast.
‘We realized that we had been duped’
According to Dressen, the NIH brought her and other vaccine-injured individuals to its headquarters in 2021 for testing and examinations.
“We thought we were contributing to something that was going to then result in thousands more [people] that we knew of at the time to be able to get help,” she said. “They promised us …that’s what they were going to do with the information that they were collecting. They didn’t.”
Dressen said the NIH canceled a follow-up appointment she had for September 2021, telling her that “Delta is raging, so we don’t want to cause any undue harm.”
Later, “all of a sudden, communication just stopped,” she said. “At that point, we realized we had been duped.”
“The real root of the problem is that the information they have never made it out,” Dressen said. “We realized that we had to start speaking out.”
To get that information, CHD filed a Freedom of Information Act request followed by a lawsuit, which forced the NIH to release 7,500 pages of documents at a rate of 300 pages per month. The documents released so far have been heavily redacted.
“It’s no surprise that they’re going to do what they need to do to protect [themselves], and sadly that means that they’re not going to be … serving the best interest of the public,” Dressen said. “They’re going to take care of themselves.”
From the documents released so far, “one of the most interesting things … is actually what is not being said” — specifically, that NIH doctors were “not exploring any other causal link” to account for the symptoms the vaccine-injured were experiencing.
In other words, the NIH acknowledged the COVID-19 vaccines caused Dressen’s and others’ injuries.
“The other interesting thing is that [the NIH was] providing small treatment recommendations” to the vaccine-injured, including “sending references … to doctors that could help them further,” Dressen added.
‘Obscene to see the lengths to which they’re willing to go to protect themselves’
At the Feb. 15 hearing, the three witnesses, including Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Daniel Jernigan of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Dr. George Reed Grimes of the Health Resources and Services Administration, defended the COVID-19 vaccines, the government’s surveillance of vaccine injuries and treatment of the vaccine-injured.
Dressen said she “wasn’t shocked” about the witnesses’ testimony, but considers it “obscene to see the lengths to which they’re willing to go to protect themselves.”
Despite the witnesses’ claims that government vaccine injury surveillance systems such as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) have been effective, Dressen said her own experience, and an audit by React19, tell a different story.
Dressen said React19’s audit “found that 1 in 10 [VAERS] reports were deleted” and approximately 20% of VAERS reports “never make it out for public review.” As a result, “1 in 3 reports, real reports in the VAERS system [are] not visible for the public,” but are instead confined to a non-public-facing section of VAERS.
Dressen said she and others from React19 met with Marks in late 2022 to present these findings. According to Dressen, the FDA asked to review this information, but despite “a year and a half of these very laborious, exhaustive emails” following this meeting, the agency has taken no action.
According to Dressen, Marks also did not acknowledge her presence at the hearing, even after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) pointed her out. Instead, “one of the staffers turned and kind of looked out of the corner of her eyes.”
“We’re not going to go away,” Dressen said. “At this point, it’s very firmly understood that the FDA isn’t going to do what they’re supposed to be doing. They’re going to have to be forced into it.”
Dressen also addressed revelations made by Grimes at the hearing that the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), which handles COVID-19 vaccine injury compensation claims, has issued payouts to only 11 individuals.
“They paid out $41,000 total to 11 people. Compare that to $10 billion that the White House has paid out for increasing vaccine uptake and $3 billion of which went to the CDC for ‘vaccine confidence,’” Dressen said. “We know where the priorities of the health agencies lie.”
‘We’re going to take this head-on’
Dressen said React19 is “working with CHD’s lobbyists and other advocacy groups to try to figure out how the vaccine-injured can get real help.”
“We’re going to take this head-on, because there’s no other way to be able to beat this type of corruption,” Dressen said. “The end goal truly is to try to restore the health of the people that have been harmed.”
