The Clock is Ticking on the GOP's Aging Grasp on Power

Thanks. Typo = I meant 1918-19, obviously.

 

Breathtaking! I may have just learned more from you in five minutes than I have been able to glean from countless 'news' reports in the last ten months. Certainly, if nothing else, you've given me (and all of us) a treasure-trove of information that we can probe much deeper into with time, each on our own. I'll be following your posts closely from now on....

And, frankly, I'm glad to have confidence in the finding of a person like yourself that this virus was not a Chinese lab creation. And, I'm encouraged in what I have taken to be your belief in the efficacy of a vaccine when it comes. I have to admit that I'm unlikely to be "the first kid on my block" to get one, but I'm more open now to getting one than I was a half-hour ago.

I take 1 gram of Vitamin C twice each day, and more if I even think I'm 'coming down' with something. I take 2,000 i.u.'s of Vitamin D3, twice each day, and many other vitamin/mineral supplements, including Sambucus (liquid Elderberry Extract). So far, so good. All that stuff, and a daily 1.7 mile walk outdoors at over 6,000 feet above sea level here in Colorado every day, plus the masks and gloves, have kept me doing OK up to this point. Thanks again for all your very valuable observations!

 

Forever is a long time to hold power! What is inevitable is deep cuts in spending. Government programs, pensions, etc.

I am enjoying life, thanks!

 

Thanks. I forgot to mention Vitamin D. Important too. It's deficit has been correlated with more severe Covid-19 cases. This is not proven causality but is an interesting correlation.

The MATH+ protocol currently recommends the following for the prophylaxis phase:

Prophylaxis While there is no “Level 1 evidence” that this “cocktail” will prevent/mitigate against COVID-19 we believe there is significant supportive evidence indicating the efficacy of these agents. Furthermore, there is emerging data that ivermectin may be highly effective in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. It is important to emphasize that ALL of the medications included in our prophylactic regimen are inexpensive, extremely safe, and widely available. • Vitamin D3 1000-3000 iu/day. Note RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is 800-1000 iu/day. The safe upper-dose daily limit is likely < 4000 iu/day. [1-16] Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with an increased risk of acquiring COVID-19 and from dying from the disease. Vitamin D supplementation may therefore prove to be an effective and cheap intervention to lessen the impact of this disease, particularly in vulnerable populations, i.e. the elderly, those of color, obese and those living > 45o latitude. [1-16] • Vitamin C 500 mg BID (twice daily) and Quercetin 250 mg daily. [17-28] Note that prolonged high dose quercetin has very rarely been associated with hypothyroidism. [29,30] Quercetin should be used with caution in patients with hypothyroidism and TSH levels should be monitored. • Melatonin (slow release): Begin with 0.3mg and increase as tolerated to 2 mg at night. [31-38] • Zinc 30-50 mg/day (elemental zinc). [17,24,26,27,39-43] • B complex vitamins [44-48] • Optional: Famotidine 20-40 mg/day [49-55]. Low level evidence suggests that famotidine MAY reduce disease severity and mortality. However the findings of some studies are contradictory. While it was postulated that famotidine inhibits the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) as well as the main protease (3CLpro) this mechanism has been disputed.[52] Furthermore, a single study suggested that users of PPI’s had a significantly increased odds for reporting a positive COVID-19 test when compared with those not taking PPIs, while individuals taking histamine-2 receptor antagonists were not at elevated risk.[56] This data suggest that famotidine may be the drug of choice when acid suppressive therapy is required. • Ivermectin for pre- and postexposure prophylaxis (see ClinTrials.gov NCT04422561 & NCT04425850). 200ug/kg immediately then repeat in 72 hours. • Ivermectin for prophylaxis in high risk individuals. 150-200ug/kg (or 12 mg) ivermectin weekly. • Optional/Experimental: Interferon-α nasal spray for health care workers [54]

The MATH+ protocol was updated today, with the emphasis on ivermectin. Do realize that ONLY ivermectin intended for humans, which is a prescription medicine, can be used by humans. In NO CIRCUMSTANCE you should consume ivermectin intended for veterinary use, such as the preparations for dogs, sheep, or horses.
