Indeed you could drink it with tea. At the FLCCC Conference last week, there was a container with water, ice and sliced oranges in the lobby. I was using this to mix with my Baobab and it was super yummy!
Unrelated to this specific article, I wanted to thank you, Dr Kory and the other professionals in this emerging health community for your willingness to have the difficult conversations out loud (e.g., vaxx injuries, shedding, regulatory capture, etc.) I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m finding it to be a much-needed, mental health service right now. Last night, I watched an old podcast of Dr Kory with Brett Weinstein from last summer that ended up being unexpectedly cathartic when I realized they had pierced the veil of silence I’ve been living in via their willingness to “go there” on a variety of topics. As with tone of your articles, it was done in a comforting, conversational manner that addressed important topics with candor and depth, but minus the toxic vitriol often found on social media. It’s been perplexing to me how in the vast majority of my interactions with the people I know best, there seems to be a tacit agreement not to speak about the distressing things we’re all witnessing in the world around us. I’m much more likely to have spontaneous conversations about it with strangers. In some ways, it reminds me of my childhood living in an alcoholic household where each of us acknowledged what we were experiencing to ourselves on some level, but rarely collectively or out loud. We just went about our day finding individual strategies to navigate around the elephant in the room that was negatively affecting our family. It wasn’t until the alcoholic finally decided on their own to admit the problem and seek help that the spell of silence was finally broken and sharing started to happen between us. Waiting for the guilty parties of our global debacle to turn themselves in is an unrealistic expectation, so it makes the work you’re doing speaking publicly all the more important so healing of some kind may begin anyway…on every level.
“Interactions with the people I know best, there seems to be a tacit agreement not to speak about the distressing things we’re all witnessing in the world around us. I’m much more likely to have spontaneous conversations about it with strangers. “
I have witnessed the same. It’s sad. My old relationships are over. I cannot stomach the BS shallow conversations. I feel far more connected to the new friends I’ve made with those that are wide awake. Those that choose to discuss the elephant in the room.
Same issue with me talking with people I know. I try hard to figure out a way to bring up issues, but too often I cannot hold myself back because the issue is so important, for example a good friend, in their 60's., husband in good shape had a heart attack. I never got around to making the point about the increased circulation and heart issues from the spike protein in the mRNA vax. Thing got too rocky and I didn't have the finesse to raise this complex issue in the context of the dominant paradigm supported by the slogan "safe and effective". I attended the flccc.net conference last weekend and it was the first time in the last three years that I felt at home.
Yes, it's been quite a test of my social intelligence to figure out who is willing to talk about what anymore. Some of my relatives will go off like a rocket if you bring up illegal immigration, but anything to do with the Covid/shot aftermath is crickets. My neighbors in their 70s will reliably complain about the decisions coming out of DC as reported to them by Fox News, but they still march in lockstep with the conventional medicine adult vaccine schedule. One of my neighbors has been experiencing chronic health issues for months, but so far, my careful probing has generated no interest in trying anything outside of the same conventional medicine that got her into this fix. After I finally had my "wake up" moment in Oct 2020, I became annoyingly evangelical about it until I learned the hard way that people have to wake up at their own speed and via their own "trusted sources." I now believe that, like a chick hatching from a shell, over time each person may be developing cracks in their armor in different spots and depths depending on which social, health or political issues speak to them. Looking at them from the outside, it's hard for us to see those cracks forming and how close they may (or may not) be to a tipping point. As with the chick, it can often be a "slowly at first, then all at once" thing. My mom and I shocked the heck out of my brother, who lived in a different state, that we had come to a decision on our own not to get the shots. A long-standing anti-vaxxer for his own kids, he was braced for bad news from us, but he hadn't been in a position to witness our transformation as it was happening. Perhaps this offers some hope that transformations can still happen with our loved ones unexpectedly at any time, but my guess is that they happen for each of us on God's time. For my own, it felt like a build up of cognitive dissonance that one day out of the blue compelled me to start searching online for something, anything that felt like truth. I'm still at it.
Yes, I feel like, for the older demographics, resistance to using modern tech ends up being one of the main roadblock.s Until they're willing to turn off those typical propaganda megaphones, it's really hard to make much headway. Some seniors that I know are self-limited to receiving their news via mainstream channels due to their discomfort with internet searching and also just a lifelong habit of getting their news via the radio or TV vs. independent journalism (i.e., articles, podcasts, videos) or social media. The ones who perhaps worked in a field that required them to learn computers along the way seem to be more open to transitioning away from MSM after retirement. At least, that seemed to be the case for my mom before she passed.
1. canot accept that CDC, FDA, doctors, pharma, media lying to them.
2. the range of issues is so wide and so deep it is hard to know what is going on
3. who to trust? loop back to 1 and lots of good and bad stuff on the internet
4. need to listen to voices from all sides
I was NYT kind of person and into a lot of the left stuff. Bernie supporter.
I heard the name Andy Wakefield but never went down that path. In 1998 he pointed out vax dangers in young children and was totally trashed. He has fought back. By being ahead of the pack, he has had whistleblower come to him over the years so he has fought back against Big Pharma, Inc - medical schools, journals, etc.
He is being interviewed on Blaze TV which for 95% of my life I would not touch that far right channel. But, this interview shows how long the fight for medical freedom has been going on. Worth watching. A kind, thoughtful doctor treating patients but strayed way out of the norm and was trashed big time.
I live in Oregon, so you already know where I'm going with this, but when I mention the elephantssssssss in the room, and the response is "what elephants," I don't know where to begin. I'm not Groot.
I can't "talk reality" with friends or family. I brought up some things about clot-shot adverse effects with one relative and she was obviously terrified and changed the subject as soon as she could. My relatives and friends absolutely want to stay in their comfortable cocoons of believing the approved narrative, and it appears they've all gotten "good lots" of the clot-shots so no obvious bad effects so far. I hope their good luck lasts. I love them and don't want to lose them, but they won't even open the door to reality a crack and peek out.
This conversation amongst the few of you, centered around Crabjo’s views and experiences, could be playing out in millions of families around the world. Mercifully, the Covid m-RNA vaccines are not going to get a long rope of support from the public, even in the highly vaccinated countries. Maximum by end 2025, the story would have been boxed in.
Yes, I think the "good lots" were placebo and a true placebo would be normal saline solution. There was an interesting Danish study which showed that about 30% of the Pfizer- BioNTech shots used in Denmark produced virtually no adverse event reports. Also, I think a team of researchers in Europe tested vials of vaccine and found that 30% were placebo. Early in the spikeshot rollout, I heard that 30 to 50% of shots given at some vaccination sites in the U.S. were placebo; but I haven't come across any confirmation of this.
By the way, GREAT job on both of the podcasts on Rumble with Shaun Newman in Canada. I caught the first one and shared it with a friend who just let me know about the second one. She’s a former hospital nurse who left that environment during the pandemic over the vaxx mandates and has since trained to do ultrasound work. It’s amazing how many lives have been transformed in so many different ways in such a short time from all of this. Thank you for helping us learn about a way forward.
Here are links to the video versions of both of them that I watched on Rumble. Audio-only versions of the interviews are available via Shaun Newman's Substack or his podcast channel.
Well intentioned and well communicated sentiments. In a private family like yours in your childhood, requiring the errant elder to realise that he needs to change to bring about a happy order in the family, a large society like the USA too needs to have its leadership realise that things are not in order that is being claimed. In the household, the person was slowly realising the pressure on him all by himself. It may not happen at a national level. The President and his advisers are all well read people and it is difficult to believe that they do not know there is a credible alternative Covid/vaccine story. Yet, it is better that physician and researcher groups come together to jointly address the President and his team directly on all the facts and views we gather in podcasts like this one. Somehow, this ball has to be set rolling.
My theory on that is...abruptly preventing circulating spike from sequestering in cells means that in the short-term, it is provoking inflammation in the blood vessels and related nerves. Keep in mind that the participants in the pilot study, including me, had elevated spike antibody levels, which we think are indirect measures of spike. The good thing is that it resolves, and can be avoided.
Thank you Dr Balakrishman. We are in agreement. IVM, HCQ, Nitazoxanide are the three therapies we use most for acute COVID. FLCCC Alliance protocols have robust discussion with citation of evidence of the MANY options to which you refer. My partner Dr Kory is the Medical Director of the FLCCC.
Why do you need to let the disease move upto the stage of acute levels ? That is the window of the viral phase, about 8-10 days, at the end of which the viral load has reached its self limiting maximum, provided there is no treatment at all in those few days to stop the viral growth and eliminate whatever load that has formed. The unlucky one enters the auto immune phase, where the key driver of the ensuing disease is not the virus. That is the story of the USA ( and the West), from the beginning to this day. At that stage (mostly hospitalised, with breathing issues), I wonder if any one of the three, as single therapy, would work effectively. You need to control auto immune activity, inflammation, excess histamine release etc, all connected to one another. Which means a host of other medications including steroids, anti histamines etc to support the anti viral treatment, in addition to emergency measures. The best way is to intervene in the initial days, right at the appearance of any mild symptom. In a raging situation, there is no need even to check for specific infection. This is how the general protocol in India emerged by about mid 2021 in the midst of a burning delta wave. A combination of Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine and often Ivermectin, with adjuvants like zinc and vitamins. Or their equivalents. Each one of them is off label part antiviral (including Azithromycin) and combined they had enough fire power to smother the viral growth in those initial days. Mostly under home care and no one needed hospitalisations. That is how India breezed through the delta phase in the second half of 2021 and the early Omicron phase in 2022. I feel that this protocol must be included in the FLCCC programme with correct directives,
I have looked at this comment, as per your advice, Dr. Balakrishnan. Scott refers to Pierre Kory MD, a prominent advocate for early treatment to avoid hospitalization, who largely used ivermectin, zinc and doxycycline (and steroids when they were hospitalized), though he was mostly an ICU Pulmonologist, and did not get to treat too many people early in the course of disease.
As you note, there is a critical point around day #8 of symptoms, where people may "crash" or start to stabilize, then improve. It is largely an immune-response crisis, as you say. Ivermectin and doxycycline or azithromycin, still help at this point, due to reduction of inflammatory cascades and some specific benefits of ivermectin to reduce clotting.
The earlier the treatments are used, the more of the viral phase is inhibited. I was able to begin my own treatment promptly at the beginning of symptoms with ivermectin, zinc, quercetin (to improve zinc uptake into cells) and lecithin (to improve quercetin absorption). I improved rapidly, felt normal after 3-4 days, and stopped treatment after 5 days. I rebounded into illness about day 8, and resumed treatment, but I had low energy, aches and mild fevers for another week at that point.
I will add, as an aside, that I had been able to order ivermectin and some other medicines from India in fall of 2021, but shortly after that US Customs began interdicting those orders, which some of my friends had subsequently placed.
The US policy was to oppose repurposed antiviral treatments for COVID harshly and in every way.
The viral phase of the first 8-10 days is predominantly respiratory and so I feel it is best handled by classical respiratory tract medicines like Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine etc, along with the multi functional heft provided by Ivermectin. And these are all part anti virals too and that is a bonus. With this combination, you get to attack both the virus and the symptoms. You will not get such all round benefit with Ivermectin alone, as other items like zinc and quercitin, provide only supporting roles, not the direct therapeutic roles like the ones I have been emphasising. I wonder why FlCCC has not looked at this angle in its protocols. You need multiple, direct therapeutics, each providing its own mechanism of action. I am sure these are useful in the autoimmune phase also by dissolving the residual viral loads, even as anti inflammatories and immune modulators like azothioprine or even steroids would handle the active conditions. These protocols are useful for Omicrons also. I have always wondered why there have been hospitalisations and even mortality in the USA with the otherwise mild mannered Omicrons. Anyway, as the virus story slowly draws to a close, all these discussions on effective protocols should find their way into clinical science text books.
A "cocktail" of treatments for COVID was always the best approach, and many effective agents have been identified in thousands of studies, as presented here: https://c19early.org/
Dr. Kory, and Especially Dr. Marik were at the forefront of developing these treatment protocols. Both were attacked professionally and removed from their hospital practices and teaching appointments as a result.
In my informed opinion, the vulnerabilities of immune impairment and ADE (antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicity) from COVID-19 vaccine-products lead to longer illness with Omicron and subsequent variants in the "vaccinated". There have been measures to alter statistical entries in US hospitals by only entering hospitalized patients as "unvaccinated", for instance. This has been effective.
A raging new pandemic is also science and only by being true to it, can treatments and preventive protocols be developed. Entering someone hospitalised in Covid as “unvaccinated”, science is being duped. Certainly not in the interest of medicine. There is no doubt that the Omicron phase in 2022 and 2023 became unnecessarily complicated in the USA because of relentless push for revaccinations. The pathogen was still the spike protein, this time from vaccine origins. So the same/early treatments done for the virus infection could have been adequate. Still. Surprisingly, the country which gave humanity over several decades hundreds of the finest, life saving, blockbuster medicines also shunned a few of these life savers now, failing to save its own lives, a million of them. That is the tragedy. Painful tragedy. It was also an opportunity to announce to the world once again its role as a beacon of humanity. Painfully missed.
Day 8 ( upto 10) count is only important, if people have not taken any serious anti viral treatment at all. At this point, 8 out of 10 may come out unscathed on their own, with copious help from their body. The other 2 will “crash”, mostly with dropping saturation, requiring immediate hospital care. If a clinically sound anti viral course is taken from day 1, like the combinations I have been indicating, Day 8 should pass off eventless. You can now see why you rebounded to illness by day 8, you hadn’t given yourself enough firepower in the preceding days. But the ivermectin plus you have been taking was good enough to save you from hospitalisation. But not everyone count on this luck. That is why the early classical treatment is so important.
"Rebounding" was something we discovered over time, even though ivermectin has a very long intracellular half-life. The extracellular benefits of ivermectin are experienced concurrent with daily dosing, and people feel worse on days they don't take ivermectin. I did adjust my treatment schedule for patients over time, increasing dosage and going to daily treatment, then extending the course.
Listening to what patients tell you they are experiencing helps.
Very interesting and informative article. What about nebulizing properly saline-diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide, at the first sign of a respiratory infection? Dr. Mercola and others recommended this from the getgo. His book “Covid19 and the great reset” came out early and dealt with both the medical issues and the plot to use C19 to bring in the dystopian great reset.
Not sure where you are, Dr. Day but I've been getting IVM from compounding pharmacies (with a prescription) in California throughout the "pandemic". I had much healthier friends who took it from India and it didn't work. I know everyone is different, but who knows about their quality control when it comes from another country?
My 89 year old (at the time) unvaccinated dad came down with COV and I had a kit already prepared. He was lethargic and barely able to talk on day 1, slumped over and I thought we were heading to the hospital soon. I gave him IVM Day 1 and the next day he was sitting up and much better. He started sounding congested a couple of days later and I gave him Azyth which knocked it out and he was negative on Day 7. He was already on a multi and I had already kept his Vit D levels high, but no quercetin or extra zinc. It's not one size fits all and I think some is luck and much is get it in the first three days. I was on IVM, quercetin, high D, zinc, and a few others and never got it (that I know of). IVM is a miracle drug.
I have to get this so I can stop worrying about shedding, and realize that will be able to live normally again! Agricultural products, nutritional products? Food products, African products?
i worked with james garner many years ago when i was up in montreal supervising the costumes for a mazda industrial and he was the "talent." i'm happy to report that he was as charming in person as his character was on television. unlike many celebrities who are disappointing when you meet them, he was if anything even better! the cast and crew were all in love with him.
thank you for this great health advice. i am unvaccinated and my case of covid, when i finally got it from a fully vaccinated and boosted friend, was laughably mild but you listed many reasons why i'm going to try this. quick, before the government decides to ban it!
My father (now 95) and my late uncle went to high school with Jimmy Bumgarner, as they knew him back then, in Norman, Oklahoma. He used to come to Norman High School reunions and chat with everybody as if they were all just teenage buddies again. No airs, no sense of being famous. Just friendly and put everyone at ease. R.I.P.
Have been drinking baobab juice mixed w/cranberry juice for about two years, and it has made a significant difference in my intestinal situation. After reading this article, I plan to be a sipper. Thanks so much. PS...am in my eighties.
Started my Sipping thing, using a transparent glass. Noticed that the powder settled at the bottom of the glass, so grabbed a straw, stirred, then made it part of the process. Now I stir, sip, and swallow.. I would think shaking a closed container, like a thermos, would be just as effective, but I'm mostly a home body.
A patient gifted me with an adult version of a sippy cup. I shake and sip. Gulpting will lead to a more diverse GI flora. Empirical observation has been that sipping has more benefit in blocking spike entry into cells when out and about, exposed to shedding. To each her/his own.
Wow! The the diversity of complementary treatments provided by God's creation is endlessly fascinating. An entire natural pharmacopeia discovered through careful study of ethnobotany. You've opened my eyes, awakened by curiosity and blown my mind. Thank for your courage to explore and report on your "anecdotal" research findings. Evidence based medical treatments are in the eye of the beholder not exclusively defined by the AMA.
Great lead on affordable EGCG rich tea John. FYI, Pu'er tea is something that PASC and vax injured may want to avoid. It has such a high histamine content, it provoked one of my patients to become suicidal. He had run out of his everyday black tea and was drining Pu'er until his next shipment came in. We figured this out, and within 24 hours of stopping the Pu'er, he returned to his baseline emotional health.
I treated patients for COVID with repurposed antivirals, and saw patients in person preferentially, yet never caught COVID until Christmas/New-Year 2021-2022 after I was fired that October for "vaccine non-compliance". I sipped green tea all day at work, but not at home... Later, I realized what an important factor that might have been as I was taking my ivermectin-based coctail for Delta.
This Costco green tea is sencha and matcha in a bag, from Ito En, a 600+ year old Japanese tea company. It has extra EGCG from the matcha component. No bite, even if it steeps "too long".
Interested to know Dr, the repurposed anti viral you used to treat your Covid patients. I am from India and as I mentioned elsewhere here the workhorses that drove the virus into the pit, from the delta of 2021 through to the Omicrons here were Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine and a few others of that genre along with Ivermectin. I am not from medicine, but a PhD organic chemistry retired long ago from industrial R&D. Not worked in drugs either, but in retirement took to reading medicinal organic chemistry. Have done some extensive reading in these four years on this virus, the disease, treatment studies and options with repurposed medicines etc. From some detailed follow up since late 2020 on trails with many repurposed drugs, from a look at the chemical structures of over 700 common drug molecules, from an analysis of the link between the two as an organic chemist and from delving into past published research on the anti viral properties of many common drug molecules classified as cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs), it is my firm view that over 70% of the 2000 odd drug molecules we know today are anti virals, part anti virals to be more precise ( off label). These could be anti histamines, many respiratory class drugs, anti choliinogerics, ace inhibitors, anti clotting drugs, anti inflammatories, immune modulators, just about from every indication. Almost entire shelves from a good high street pharmacy could be anti virals for respiratory viruses like this one. Many representative molecules have been studied for this capability long before Covid. I am only providing an organic chemistry perspective to this astounding versatility. We lost millions of lives because we didn’t care to value this versatility in the early pandemic months. Much of the third world applied this course correction in 2021, started reaping immediate benefits and has never looked back. The West including the USA ignored these simple clinical backgrounds, bet totally on m-RNA vaccines and new drugs like Paxlovid, paid heavily. I feel strongly that what is good for primary infection as above is also good for long Covid and long Vax issues, the latter now being well identified as shedding of spike proteins from the vaccines. The background science to this possibility is strong. Hope doctors like you in the forefront of the fight against Covid will benefit from such existing knowledge and experience. Thanks. I am available only on e-mail and would be glad to discuss these points at individual level.
Thank You, Dr. Balakrishnan. Ivermectin based pill packs were very effective in Uttar Pradesh, but Kerala politically excluded them and had far, far more deaths.
I began using Dr. Borody's protocol (ivermectin, zinc, doxycycline) after reading the first very good study (August 2020) from Bangladesh.
The results were immediately positive for my patients, by the next morning in almost every case. That is what I experienced, myself.
I certainly have reason to recommend daily green tea for people who tolerate and like it, both for coronavirus prophylaxis and general health benefits.
I will add that I have much enjoyed extensive travel in your country, first with my wife, and later with our whole family. We have trekked a lot, and also in Nepal.
I am no longer in any medical forefront. I was fired in October 2021 for vaccine-refusal, and have received two other significant political attacks on my professional status since then, based upon good treatment of COVID and good informed-consent advice to patients, counter to the political narrative.
Thanks Dr. for your prompt response. Please see my post a while ago, responding to Dr. Scot Marsland. More details of the protocols followed in India to the extent I have known. On Kerala, I think they followed the Western leads more closely, emphasis on vaccinations, isolations to stop spread, and resort to emergency treatments etc. . Particularly with variants upto delta, if the initial viral phase was not blocked, the chances of emergency phases and mortality were high, especially with the poor clinical handling of that phase. I am glad you liked India - like every one else, it has its best and it has its worst. Have you considered relocating to India with family for a few years, continue your practice here and until it can be revived back home ?
Thank You, Dr. Balakrishnan. I have not considered relocating to India, as it is too distant from family, and also a highly competitive ecosystem within which to survive.
I was able to quickly understand how to travel as a polite American, who did not expect too much, but who also knew the acceptable-minimum, to which I was fully entitled.
India is a rich presentation of all aspects of life and existence, and not for the casual traveler. I recommend Thailand to casual travelers.
At any rate, I am 65 now, and designed and built a house in 2022, as I had long wanted to do. I made the construction blueprints, general contracted, supervised, obtained all of the doors, windows, sinks and special parts, built the stairs, closets, the majority of internal walls, the hardwood floor, and put in all of the insulation. Local carpenters, electricians and plumbers worked with me, and I like the house. I like every spot in the house, and the location, and the large vegetable garden, which I created and tend. To the degree that I may "retire", I have the place. Occasional pictures at drjohnsblog.substack.com
I should have a thought that India is too distant a location. My only concern was that you shouldn’t miss your practice, now forced on you by the system there. You are only 65, lot of years of productive practice still to come. More importantly, people should not lose the services of someone like you. I do hope you would able to resume sometime. In the mean time, please remain engaged in forums like this for the benefit of other followers. Also my best wishes for happy pursuits with your new home.
I am in communication with Meryl Nass MD, who is in a similar position, and is also of service to humanity. She is much more impressive than I am. You will often see her work on my blog, also. My blog is an aggregation of current news with excerpts and links.
Based on the premise of cationic amphiphilic drugs, the commonality of anti viral performance from these hundreds of known molecules could come from their shared chemical structure features. Everyone of them is a part anti viral and so a combination of these must be used to provide total anti viral heft in the various stages of the disease. That is how the work horse combination I mentioned in my large posting moments ago evolved in the protocols in India, largely an effort of tens of thousands of private doctors treating their patients.
See my FLCCC case presentstion in May 2023, last week in AZ, and talk on shedding with Pierre. The second and third should be up within the next couple weeks on the FLCCC website. You can access all for free or a suggested donation.
Awww shucks. Thanks for reading, and for the tea recommendation. Here's the link to Kyoto Dew for anyone else who is interested. https://www.kyotodewmatcha.net/
What a beautiful & enlightening article you wrote. I enjoyed reading all from chopping wood to tea(I enjoy a little insight of what made you,you!) I never got the jab or followed any of their ridiculous rules (rebel) but I should maybe get tested being my husband sees patients all day that have been jabbed. (He’s also not jabbed) but curiosity is getting the best of me, so I think I might have some blood work done. Thank you very much for the research that you have done so that people hopefully will be helped. I was also wondering, because I do not like water at all, if maybe I could drink it with tea?
You had me at “satisfying poop.” I love how your clinic’s approach is to follow where evidence leads. Seems so obvious, and yet… I can only imagine what your Nana would have to say about your evolved tea preferences. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy how your Gen-X-ness comes through your storytelling. Were we the last generation to have a largely non-digital childhood? My guess is that you may have retained a few more brain cells that are helping you now by not having Atari. While you were watching Rockford Files, I was getting the pants beat off me by my older brother who was in dire need of a meaningful hobby. (His evolution from Atari to Dungeons & Dragons did not feel like a major improvement, just quieter.) However, while he was distracted with these things, it did afford me the opportunity to “borrow” his GI Joe and Lee Majors dolls as dates for my Barbies (the second-stringers.) I was probably sipping on Hi-C or Kool-Aid and eating a Zinger or a Ho-Ho. I think our generation must give new meaning to the phrase “well-preserved.”
Your thoughts and insights are appreciated. I’m at the FLCCC Conference in AZ, and several conversations have left me pondering how those of us who grew up with alcoholism in our families might be able to call out the pandemic deception of the last four years. It’s strength emerging from struggle.
That would be a great outcome, but probably requires some heightened self-awareness. As things stand, my recent experiences have me feeling like many of us have just unconsciously reverted back to the silent, silo strategies we learned in our home environment as a way to cope with this abusive relationship we now find ourselves in with our government. Some of those “people I know best” who avoid talking about it include my cousins who were raised in a similar environment to mine. Our mothers were sisters who both became alcoholic. We talked about that situation once it was in the past, but tend to avoid talking about the situation we find ourselves in now possibly because it brings back the same old feelings of helplessness. It’s something to work on. As you say, we’re stronger now than we were then and we should try to use our past experience to help us respond differently this time around.
Indeed you could drink it with tea. At the FLCCC Conference last week, there was a container with water, ice and sliced oranges in the lobby. I was using this to mix with my Baobab and it was super yummy!
Unrelated to this specific article, I wanted to thank you, Dr Kory and the other professionals in this emerging health community for your willingness to have the difficult conversations out loud (e.g., vaxx injuries, shedding, regulatory capture, etc.) I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m finding it to be a much-needed, mental health service right now. Last night, I watched an old podcast of Dr Kory with Brett Weinstein from last summer that ended up being unexpectedly cathartic when I realized they had pierced the veil of silence I’ve been living in via their willingness to “go there” on a variety of topics. As with tone of your articles, it was done in a comforting, conversational manner that addressed important topics with candor and depth, but minus the toxic vitriol often found on social media. It’s been perplexing to me how in the vast majority of my interactions with the people I know best, there seems to be a tacit agreement not to speak about the distressing things we’re all witnessing in the world around us. I’m much more likely to have spontaneous conversations about it with strangers. In some ways, it reminds me of my childhood living in an alcoholic household where each of us acknowledged what we were experiencing to ourselves on some level, but rarely collectively or out loud. We just went about our day finding individual strategies to navigate around the elephant in the room that was negatively affecting our family. It wasn’t until the alcoholic finally decided on their own to admit the problem and seek help that the spell of silence was finally broken and sharing started to happen between us. Waiting for the guilty parties of our global debacle to turn themselves in is an unrealistic expectation, so it makes the work you’re doing speaking publicly all the more important so healing of some kind may begin anyway…on every level.
Working with our team and patients every day has been healing in and of itself, because we get to have reality-based conversations.
That has got to be the most readable medical advice in a long time! ;-)
Thanks
Thanks so much for your thoughtful interviews with Shawn.
“Interactions with the people I know best, there seems to be a tacit agreement not to speak about the distressing things we’re all witnessing in the world around us. I’m much more likely to have spontaneous conversations about it with strangers. “
I have witnessed the same. It’s sad. My old relationships are over. I cannot stomach the BS shallow conversations. I feel far more connected to the new friends I’ve made with those that are wide awake. Those that choose to discuss the elephant in the room.
Same issue with me talking with people I know. I try hard to figure out a way to bring up issues, but too often I cannot hold myself back because the issue is so important, for example a good friend, in their 60's., husband in good shape had a heart attack. I never got around to making the point about the increased circulation and heart issues from the spike protein in the mRNA vax. Thing got too rocky and I didn't have the finesse to raise this complex issue in the context of the dominant paradigm supported by the slogan "safe and effective". I attended the flccc.net conference last weekend and it was the first time in the last three years that I felt at home.
Yes, it's been quite a test of my social intelligence to figure out who is willing to talk about what anymore. Some of my relatives will go off like a rocket if you bring up illegal immigration, but anything to do with the Covid/shot aftermath is crickets. My neighbors in their 70s will reliably complain about the decisions coming out of DC as reported to them by Fox News, but they still march in lockstep with the conventional medicine adult vaccine schedule. One of my neighbors has been experiencing chronic health issues for months, but so far, my careful probing has generated no interest in trying anything outside of the same conventional medicine that got her into this fix. After I finally had my "wake up" moment in Oct 2020, I became annoyingly evangelical about it until I learned the hard way that people have to wake up at their own speed and via their own "trusted sources." I now believe that, like a chick hatching from a shell, over time each person may be developing cracks in their armor in different spots and depths depending on which social, health or political issues speak to them. Looking at them from the outside, it's hard for us to see those cracks forming and how close they may (or may not) be to a tipping point. As with the chick, it can often be a "slowly at first, then all at once" thing. My mom and I shocked the heck out of my brother, who lived in a different state, that we had come to a decision on our own not to get the shots. A long-standing anti-vaxxer for his own kids, he was braced for bad news from us, but he hadn't been in a position to witness our transformation as it was happening. Perhaps this offers some hope that transformations can still happen with our loved ones unexpectedly at any time, but my guess is that they happen for each of us on God's time. For my own, it felt like a build up of cognitive dissonance that one day out of the blue compelled me to start searching online for something, anything that felt like truth. I'm still at it.
Crabjo, such a great story. "slowly at first, then all at once" 65 and older is real, real slow if at all. https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/oregon.immunization.program/viz/OregonCOVID-19VaccineEffortMetrics_16989688884510/StatewideProgress
Yes, I feel like, for the older demographics, resistance to using modern tech ends up being one of the main roadblock.s Until they're willing to turn off those typical propaganda megaphones, it's really hard to make much headway. Some seniors that I know are self-limited to receiving their news via mainstream channels due to their discomfort with internet searching and also just a lifelong habit of getting their news via the radio or TV vs. independent journalism (i.e., articles, podcasts, videos) or social media. The ones who perhaps worked in a field that required them to learn computers along the way seem to be more open to transitioning away from MSM after retirement. At least, that seemed to be the case for my mom before she passed.
Some factors.
1. canot accept that CDC, FDA, doctors, pharma, media lying to them.
2. the range of issues is so wide and so deep it is hard to know what is going on
3. who to trust? loop back to 1 and lots of good and bad stuff on the internet
4. need to listen to voices from all sides
I was NYT kind of person and into a lot of the left stuff. Bernie supporter.
I heard the name Andy Wakefield but never went down that path. In 1998 he pointed out vax dangers in young children and was totally trashed. He has fought back. By being ahead of the pack, he has had whistleblower come to him over the years so he has fought back against Big Pharma, Inc - medical schools, journals, etc.
He is being interviewed on Blaze TV which for 95% of my life I would not touch that far right channel. But, this interview shows how long the fight for medical freedom has been going on. Worth watching. A kind, thoughtful doctor treating patients but strayed way out of the norm and was trashed big time.

I live in Oregon, so you already know where I'm going with this, but when I mention the elephantssssssss in the room, and the response is "what elephants," I don't know where to begin. I'm not Groot.
So true Laura Kasner.👍🏼🤗
I can't "talk reality" with friends or family. I brought up some things about clot-shot adverse effects with one relative and she was obviously terrified and changed the subject as soon as she could. My relatives and friends absolutely want to stay in their comfortable cocoons of believing the approved narrative, and it appears they've all gotten "good lots" of the clot-shots so no obvious bad effects so far. I hope their good luck lasts. I love them and don't want to lose them, but they won't even open the door to reality a crack and peek out.
This conversation amongst the few of you, centered around Crabjo’s views and experiences, could be playing out in millions of families around the world. Mercifully, the Covid m-RNA vaccines are not going to get a long rope of support from the public, even in the highly vaccinated countries. Maximum by end 2025, the story would have been boxed in.
I like your prediction, but wish that my country (Australia) wasn't busy investing in mRNA tech and building plants all over the country.
Makes me think we're in for more of the same. It might be a new flavour, but - same old panic.
good lots meaning saline rather than mRNA and lots of other unidentified toxins?
https://www.howbadismybatch.com
Yes, I think the "good lots" were placebo and a true placebo would be normal saline solution. There was an interesting Danish study which showed that about 30% of the Pfizer- BioNTech shots used in Denmark produced virtually no adverse event reports. Also, I think a team of researchers in Europe tested vials of vaccine and found that 30% were placebo. Early in the spikeshot rollout, I heard that 30 to 50% of shots given at some vaccination sites in the U.S. were placebo; but I haven't come across any confirmation of this.
By the way, GREAT job on both of the podcasts on Rumble with Shaun Newman in Canada. I caught the first one and shared it with a friend who just let me know about the second one. She’s a former hospital nurse who left that environment during the pandemic over the vaxx mandates and has since trained to do ultrasound work. It’s amazing how many lives have been transformed in so many different ways in such a short time from all of this. Thank you for helping us learn about a way forward.
Is it possible to post the podcast?
Here are links to the video versions of both of them that I watched on Rumble. Audio-only versions of the interviews are available via Shaun Newman's Substack or his podcast channel.

Thank you for this.
Well intentioned and well communicated sentiments. In a private family like yours in your childhood, requiring the errant elder to realise that he needs to change to bring about a happy order in the family, a large society like the USA too needs to have its leadership realise that things are not in order that is being claimed. In the household, the person was slowly realising the pressure on him all by himself. It may not happen at a national level. The President and his advisers are all well read people and it is difficult to believe that they do not know there is a credible alternative Covid/vaccine story. Yet, it is better that physician and researcher groups come together to jointly address the President and his team directly on all the facts and views we gather in podcasts like this one. Somehow, this ball has to be set rolling.
My theory on that is...abruptly preventing circulating spike from sequestering in cells means that in the short-term, it is provoking inflammation in the blood vessels and related nerves. Keep in mind that the participants in the pilot study, including me, had elevated spike antibody levels, which we think are indirect measures of spike. The good thing is that it resolves, and can be avoided.
Thank you Dr Balakrishman. We are in agreement. IVM, HCQ, Nitazoxanide are the three therapies we use most for acute COVID. FLCCC Alliance protocols have robust discussion with citation of evidence of the MANY options to which you refer. My partner Dr Kory is the Medical Director of the FLCCC.
Why do you need to let the disease move upto the stage of acute levels ? That is the window of the viral phase, about 8-10 days, at the end of which the viral load has reached its self limiting maximum, provided there is no treatment at all in those few days to stop the viral growth and eliminate whatever load that has formed. The unlucky one enters the auto immune phase, where the key driver of the ensuing disease is not the virus. That is the story of the USA ( and the West), from the beginning to this day. At that stage (mostly hospitalised, with breathing issues), I wonder if any one of the three, as single therapy, would work effectively. You need to control auto immune activity, inflammation, excess histamine release etc, all connected to one another. Which means a host of other medications including steroids, anti histamines etc to support the anti viral treatment, in addition to emergency measures. The best way is to intervene in the initial days, right at the appearance of any mild symptom. In a raging situation, there is no need even to check for specific infection. This is how the general protocol in India emerged by about mid 2021 in the midst of a burning delta wave. A combination of Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine and often Ivermectin, with adjuvants like zinc and vitamins. Or their equivalents. Each one of them is off label part antiviral (including Azithromycin) and combined they had enough fire power to smother the viral growth in those initial days. Mostly under home care and no one needed hospitalisations. That is how India breezed through the delta phase in the second half of 2021 and the early Omicron phase in 2022. I feel that this protocol must be included in the FLCCC programme with correct directives,
I have looked at this comment, as per your advice, Dr. Balakrishnan. Scott refers to Pierre Kory MD, a prominent advocate for early treatment to avoid hospitalization, who largely used ivermectin, zinc and doxycycline (and steroids when they were hospitalized), though he was mostly an ICU Pulmonologist, and did not get to treat too many people early in the course of disease.
As you note, there is a critical point around day #8 of symptoms, where people may "crash" or start to stabilize, then improve. It is largely an immune-response crisis, as you say. Ivermectin and doxycycline or azithromycin, still help at this point, due to reduction of inflammatory cascades and some specific benefits of ivermectin to reduce clotting.
The earlier the treatments are used, the more of the viral phase is inhibited. I was able to begin my own treatment promptly at the beginning of symptoms with ivermectin, zinc, quercetin (to improve zinc uptake into cells) and lecithin (to improve quercetin absorption). I improved rapidly, felt normal after 3-4 days, and stopped treatment after 5 days. I rebounded into illness about day 8, and resumed treatment, but I had low energy, aches and mild fevers for another week at that point.
I will add, as an aside, that I had been able to order ivermectin and some other medicines from India in fall of 2021, but shortly after that US Customs began interdicting those orders, which some of my friends had subsequently placed.
The US policy was to oppose repurposed antiviral treatments for COVID harshly and in every way.
The viral phase of the first 8-10 days is predominantly respiratory and so I feel it is best handled by classical respiratory tract medicines like Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine etc, along with the multi functional heft provided by Ivermectin. And these are all part anti virals too and that is a bonus. With this combination, you get to attack both the virus and the symptoms. You will not get such all round benefit with Ivermectin alone, as other items like zinc and quercitin, provide only supporting roles, not the direct therapeutic roles like the ones I have been emphasising. I wonder why FlCCC has not looked at this angle in its protocols. You need multiple, direct therapeutics, each providing its own mechanism of action. I am sure these are useful in the autoimmune phase also by dissolving the residual viral loads, even as anti inflammatories and immune modulators like azothioprine or even steroids would handle the active conditions. These protocols are useful for Omicrons also. I have always wondered why there have been hospitalisations and even mortality in the USA with the otherwise mild mannered Omicrons. Anyway, as the virus story slowly draws to a close, all these discussions on effective protocols should find their way into clinical science text books.
A "cocktail" of treatments for COVID was always the best approach, and many effective agents have been identified in thousands of studies, as presented here: https://c19early.org/
FLCCC Early COVID Treatment: https://covid19criticalcare.com/protocol/i-care-early-covid-treatment/
FLCCC Hospital COVID Treatment: https://covid19criticalcare.com/protocol/math-covid-hospital-treatment/
Dr. Kory, and Especially Dr. Marik were at the forefront of developing these treatment protocols. Both were attacked professionally and removed from their hospital practices and teaching appointments as a result.
In my informed opinion, the vulnerabilities of immune impairment and ADE (antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicity) from COVID-19 vaccine-products lead to longer illness with Omicron and subsequent variants in the "vaccinated". There have been measures to alter statistical entries in US hospitals by only entering hospitalized patients as "unvaccinated", for instance. This has been effective.
A raging new pandemic is also science and only by being true to it, can treatments and preventive protocols be developed. Entering someone hospitalised in Covid as “unvaccinated”, science is being duped. Certainly not in the interest of medicine. There is no doubt that the Omicron phase in 2022 and 2023 became unnecessarily complicated in the USA because of relentless push for revaccinations. The pathogen was still the spike protein, this time from vaccine origins. So the same/early treatments done for the virus infection could have been adequate. Still. Surprisingly, the country which gave humanity over several decades hundreds of the finest, life saving, blockbuster medicines also shunned a few of these life savers now, failing to save its own lives, a million of them. That is the tragedy. Painful tragedy. It was also an opportunity to announce to the world once again its role as a beacon of humanity. Painfully missed.
"Power Corrupts" applies to science and medicine in the US now.
Day 8 ( upto 10) count is only important, if people have not taken any serious anti viral treatment at all. At this point, 8 out of 10 may come out unscathed on their own, with copious help from their body. The other 2 will “crash”, mostly with dropping saturation, requiring immediate hospital care. If a clinically sound anti viral course is taken from day 1, like the combinations I have been indicating, Day 8 should pass off eventless. You can now see why you rebounded to illness by day 8, you hadn’t given yourself enough firepower in the preceding days. But the ivermectin plus you have been taking was good enough to save you from hospitalisation. But not everyone count on this luck. That is why the early classical treatment is so important.
"Rebounding" was something we discovered over time, even though ivermectin has a very long intracellular half-life. The extracellular benefits of ivermectin are experienced concurrent with daily dosing, and people feel worse on days they don't take ivermectin. I did adjust my treatment schedule for patients over time, increasing dosage and going to daily treatment, then extending the course.
Listening to what patients tell you they are experiencing helps.
Very interesting and informative article. What about nebulizing properly saline-diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide, at the first sign of a respiratory infection? Dr. Mercola and others recommended this from the getgo. His book “Covid19 and the great reset” came out early and dealt with both the medical issues and the plot to use C19 to bring in the dystopian great reset.
Not sure where you are, Dr. Day but I've been getting IVM from compounding pharmacies (with a prescription) in California throughout the "pandemic". I had much healthier friends who took it from India and it didn't work. I know everyone is different, but who knows about their quality control when it comes from another country?
My 89 year old (at the time) unvaccinated dad came down with COV and I had a kit already prepared. He was lethargic and barely able to talk on day 1, slumped over and I thought we were heading to the hospital soon. I gave him IVM Day 1 and the next day he was sitting up and much better. He started sounding congested a couple of days later and I gave him Azyth which knocked it out and he was negative on Day 7. He was already on a multi and I had already kept his Vit D levels high, but no quercetin or extra zinc. It's not one size fits all and I think some is luck and much is get it in the first three days. I was on IVM, quercetin, high D, zinc, and a few others and never got it (that I know of). IVM is a miracle drug.
Amen. Baobab is truly a gift from God to heal our broken bodies.
I have to get this so I can stop worrying about shedding, and realize that will be able to live normally again! Agricultural products, nutritional products? Food products, African products?
i worked with james garner many years ago when i was up in montreal supervising the costumes for a mazda industrial and he was the "talent." i'm happy to report that he was as charming in person as his character was on television. unlike many celebrities who are disappointing when you meet them, he was if anything even better! the cast and crew were all in love with him.
thank you for this great health advice. i am unvaccinated and my case of covid, when i finally got it from a fully vaccinated and boosted friend, was laughably mild but you listed many reasons why i'm going to try this. quick, before the government decides to ban it!
That's so cool! I would reflect something similar about my partner Pierre. Same guy you see on camera is the same guy you meet in person.
My father (now 95) and my late uncle went to high school with Jimmy Bumgarner, as they knew him back then, in Norman, Oklahoma. He used to come to Norman High School reunions and chat with everybody as if they were all just teenage buddies again. No airs, no sense of being famous. Just friendly and put everyone at ease. R.I.P.
My dad, (now 91) was a neighbor of the Bumgarners back in OK. Wonderful, Clark that your dad's 95! 👍🙏💕
I met James at Willow Springs Raceway in the 80's when I was a teen running the snack bar. He told me I was pretty😄
women nowadays would be offended and threatened by the compliment
One of the many assaults on women over the decades is to make them be triggered by appreciation of their femininity.
What every girl wants to hear🥰🥰
Have been drinking baobab juice mixed w/cranberry juice for about two years, and it has made a significant difference in my intestinal situation. After reading this article, I plan to be a sipper. Thanks so much. PS...am in my eighties.
Started my Sipping thing, using a transparent glass. Noticed that the powder settled at the bottom of the glass, so grabbed a straw, stirred, then made it part of the process. Now I stir, sip, and swallow.. I would think shaking a closed container, like a thermos, would be just as effective, but I'm mostly a home body.
Tried sipping for several weeks but it didn’t work as well as gulping.
A patient gifted me with an adult version of a sippy cup. I shake and sip. Gulpting will lead to a more diverse GI flora. Empirical observation has been that sipping has more benefit in blocking spike entry into cells when out and about, exposed to shedding. To each her/his own.
Point taken. I'm sipping.
Where did you get Baobab? Is there one brand/source better than another?
I like Baobab Boost from Trim Healthy Mama. Order online.

Thanks! I will check it out🥰
Thanks!
Wow! The the diversity of complementary treatments provided by God's creation is endlessly fascinating. An entire natural pharmacopeia discovered through careful study of ethnobotany. You've opened my eyes, awakened by curiosity and blown my mind. Thank for your courage to explore and report on your "anecdotal" research findings. Evidence based medical treatments are in the eye of the beholder not exclusively defined by the AMA.
Great lead on affordable EGCG rich tea John. FYI, Pu'er tea is something that PASC and vax injured may want to avoid. It has such a high histamine content, it provoked one of my patients to become suicidal. He had run out of his everyday black tea and was drining Pu'er until his next shipment came in. We figured this out, and within 24 hours of stopping the Pu'er, he returned to his baseline emotional health.
Gee, I take a capsule per day equal to 10 cups Green Tea. Maybe I should make it 2x per week.
I treated patients for COVID with repurposed antivirals, and saw patients in person preferentially, yet never caught COVID until Christmas/New-Year 2021-2022 after I was fired that October for "vaccine non-compliance". I sipped green tea all day at work, but not at home... Later, I realized what an important factor that might have been as I was taking my ivermectin-based coctail for Delta.
This Costco green tea is sencha and matcha in a bag, from Ito En, a 600+ year old Japanese tea company. It has extra EGCG from the matcha component. No bite, even if it steeps "too long".

(Yeah, I'm a tea-snob, too. I used to get good, cheap Pu-Ehr, but the source dried up.)
James Garner was comfortable enough to poke fun at himself. :-)
Interested to know Dr, the repurposed anti viral you used to treat your Covid patients. I am from India and as I mentioned elsewhere here the workhorses that drove the virus into the pit, from the delta of 2021 through to the Omicrons here were Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine and a few others of that genre along with Ivermectin. I am not from medicine, but a PhD organic chemistry retired long ago from industrial R&D. Not worked in drugs either, but in retirement took to reading medicinal organic chemistry. Have done some extensive reading in these four years on this virus, the disease, treatment studies and options with repurposed medicines etc. From some detailed follow up since late 2020 on trails with many repurposed drugs, from a look at the chemical structures of over 700 common drug molecules, from an analysis of the link between the two as an organic chemist and from delving into past published research on the anti viral properties of many common drug molecules classified as cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs), it is my firm view that over 70% of the 2000 odd drug molecules we know today are anti virals, part anti virals to be more precise ( off label). These could be anti histamines, many respiratory class drugs, anti choliinogerics, ace inhibitors, anti clotting drugs, anti inflammatories, immune modulators, just about from every indication. Almost entire shelves from a good high street pharmacy could be anti virals for respiratory viruses like this one. Many representative molecules have been studied for this capability long before Covid. I am only providing an organic chemistry perspective to this astounding versatility. We lost millions of lives because we didn’t care to value this versatility in the early pandemic months. Much of the third world applied this course correction in 2021, started reaping immediate benefits and has never looked back. The West including the USA ignored these simple clinical backgrounds, bet totally on m-RNA vaccines and new drugs like Paxlovid, paid heavily. I feel strongly that what is good for primary infection as above is also good for long Covid and long Vax issues, the latter now being well identified as shedding of spike proteins from the vaccines. The background science to this possibility is strong. Hope doctors like you in the forefront of the fight against Covid will benefit from such existing knowledge and experience. Thanks. I am available only on e-mail and would be glad to discuss these points at individual level.
Dr. Moro Balakrishnan, Bangalore, India
balakrishnan.moro@gmail.com
Thank You, Dr. Balakrishnan. Ivermectin based pill packs were very effective in Uttar Pradesh, but Kerala politically excluded them and had far, far more deaths.
I began using Dr. Borody's protocol (ivermectin, zinc, doxycycline) after reading the first very good study (August 2020) from Bangladesh.
The results were immediately positive for my patients, by the next morning in almost every case. That is what I experienced, myself.
I certainly have reason to recommend daily green tea for people who tolerate and like it, both for coronavirus prophylaxis and general health benefits.
I will add that I have much enjoyed extensive travel in your country, first with my wife, and later with our whole family. We have trekked a lot, and also in Nepal.
I am no longer in any medical forefront. I was fired in October 2021 for vaccine-refusal, and have received two other significant political attacks on my professional status since then, based upon good treatment of COVID and good informed-consent advice to patients, counter to the political narrative.
Thanks Dr. for your prompt response. Please see my post a while ago, responding to Dr. Scot Marsland. More details of the protocols followed in India to the extent I have known. On Kerala, I think they followed the Western leads more closely, emphasis on vaccinations, isolations to stop spread, and resort to emergency treatments etc. . Particularly with variants upto delta, if the initial viral phase was not blocked, the chances of emergency phases and mortality were high, especially with the poor clinical handling of that phase. I am glad you liked India - like every one else, it has its best and it has its worst. Have you considered relocating to India with family for a few years, continue your practice here and until it can be revived back home ?
Thank You, Dr. Balakrishnan. I have not considered relocating to India, as it is too distant from family, and also a highly competitive ecosystem within which to survive.
I was able to quickly understand how to travel as a polite American, who did not expect too much, but who also knew the acceptable-minimum, to which I was fully entitled.
India is a rich presentation of all aspects of life and existence, and not for the casual traveler. I recommend Thailand to casual travelers.
At any rate, I am 65 now, and designed and built a house in 2022, as I had long wanted to do. I made the construction blueprints, general contracted, supervised, obtained all of the doors, windows, sinks and special parts, built the stairs, closets, the majority of internal walls, the hardwood floor, and put in all of the insulation. Local carpenters, electricians and plumbers worked with me, and I like the house. I like every spot in the house, and the location, and the large vegetable garden, which I created and tend. To the degree that I may "retire", I have the place. Occasional pictures at drjohnsblog.substack.com
I should have a thought that India is too distant a location. My only concern was that you shouldn’t miss your practice, now forced on you by the system there. You are only 65, lot of years of productive practice still to come. More importantly, people should not lose the services of someone like you. I do hope you would able to resume sometime. In the mean time, please remain engaged in forums like this for the benefit of other followers. Also my best wishes for happy pursuits with your new home.
Thank You, Dr. Balakrishnan. I am Buddhist, and I remain of service, meditating compassion.
I put full days of work into my blog these days at drjohnsblog.substack.com
I am in communication with Meryl Nass MD, who is in a similar position, and is also of service to humanity. She is much more impressive than I am. You will often see her work on my blog, also. My blog is an aggregation of current news with excerpts and links.
Sounds like heaven Dr. Day, good for you! I hope to have my own vegetable garden again soon.
Based on the premise of cationic amphiphilic drugs, the commonality of anti viral performance from these hundreds of known molecules could come from their shared chemical structure features. Everyone of them is a part anti viral and so a combination of these must be used to provide total anti viral heft in the various stages of the disease. That is how the work horse combination I mentioned in my large posting moments ago evolved in the protocols in India, largely an effort of tens of thousands of private doctors treating their patients.
See my FLCCC case presentstion in May 2023, last week in AZ, and talk on shedding with Pierre. The second and third should be up within the next couple weeks on the FLCCC website. You can access all for free or a suggested donation.
In retrospect, it was indeed a rich childhood, with a lot of hard work and struggles; preparation for adversity.
You're very welcome Barbara. Check out the presentation Pierre and I gave at the recent FLCCC Conference on shedding.
Awww shucks. Thanks for reading, and for the tea recommendation. Here's the link to Kyoto Dew for anyone else who is interested. https://www.kyotodewmatcha.net/
What a beautiful & enlightening article you wrote. I enjoyed reading all from chopping wood to tea(I enjoy a little insight of what made you,you!) I never got the jab or followed any of their ridiculous rules (rebel) but I should maybe get tested being my husband sees patients all day that have been jabbed. (He’s also not jabbed) but curiosity is getting the best of me, so I think I might have some blood work done. Thank you very much for the research that you have done so that people hopefully will be helped. I was also wondering, because I do not like water at all, if maybe I could drink it with tea?
You had me at “satisfying poop.” I love how your clinic’s approach is to follow where evidence leads. Seems so obvious, and yet… I can only imagine what your Nana would have to say about your evolved tea preferences. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy how your Gen-X-ness comes through your storytelling. Were we the last generation to have a largely non-digital childhood? My guess is that you may have retained a few more brain cells that are helping you now by not having Atari. While you were watching Rockford Files, I was getting the pants beat off me by my older brother who was in dire need of a meaningful hobby. (His evolution from Atari to Dungeons & Dragons did not feel like a major improvement, just quieter.) However, while he was distracted with these things, it did afford me the opportunity to “borrow” his GI Joe and Lee Majors dolls as dates for my Barbies (the second-stringers.) I was probably sipping on Hi-C or Kool-Aid and eating a Zinger or a Ho-Ho. I think our generation must give new meaning to the phrase “well-preserved.”
Your thoughts and insights are appreciated. I’m at the FLCCC Conference in AZ, and several conversations have left me pondering how those of us who grew up with alcoholism in our families might be able to call out the pandemic deception of the last four years. It’s strength emerging from struggle.
That would be a great outcome, but probably requires some heightened self-awareness. As things stand, my recent experiences have me feeling like many of us have just unconsciously reverted back to the silent, silo strategies we learned in our home environment as a way to cope with this abusive relationship we now find ourselves in with our government. Some of those “people I know best” who avoid talking about it include my cousins who were raised in a similar environment to mine. Our mothers were sisters who both became alcoholic. We talked about that situation once it was in the past, but tend to avoid talking about the situation we find ourselves in now possibly because it brings back the same old feelings of helplessness. It’s something to work on. As you say, we’re stronger now than we were then and we should try to use our past experience to help us respond differently this time around.
🙋raised by alcoholics whom I love
YES. How do you get an alcoholic to see?
That's the thing.
How do you get anyone to see? Skillful listening, strategic questions and the patience of Job.
