You wouldn’t know it, but there is still good news about
COVID-19 out there. Listening to the media would make you believe that the sky
is falling and we are all going to die from coronavirus.
Before
I get into the good news, let
me preface this article by stating that I am not minimizing the dangers of
COVID-19. It is a serious illness as I have observed in both patients and
friends. Thousands have died and, unfortunately, more
deaths are coming. However, our fear level is much too high for this illness.
Children are not dying in droves from this. Nor are children being maimed and
paralyzed. This is not Ebola or hemorrhagic fever where the death rate is 50%
or higher in those that get it. The final death rate from COVID-19 will
probably be at or slightly higher than the regular yearly influenza death rate
of 0.01%–once we start testing everybody to see how prevalent this illness
actually is.
Original
modelling estimates predicted that millions could die in the US. Dr. Fauci
stated recently that the worst of the recent modelling estimates may result in
100,000-200,000 deaths. The 100,000-200,000 number is awful. But, it needs to
be put in proper perspective. Let’s say that 200,000 Americans die of COVID-19.
That means that COVID-19 will kill o.o6% of our population
(200,000/329,500,000). In other words, 99.94% of us will survive. If it kills
100,000, 0.03% of us will die and 99.97% of us will live.
The
death of 200,000 Americans is a big deal. But, I don’t think it deserves the
fear level we are at right now. Another important point about these numbers is
that COVID-19 primarily kills the
elderly and those with co-morbid conditions. Those who do NOT
fall into those categories have a LOWER risk of death from it. This should be
wakeup call for all Americans to get healthy. We are too heavy, eat
poor diets and don’t exercise enough. Adopting
a holistic health plan can not only help you feel better, it can lower your
risk of dying from many diseases including COVID-19.
For comparison, 630,000 Americans die from heart disease each
year.
So,
my advice is STOP watching the news. They revel in the bad news and censor the
good news. What good news am I talking about?
How about this news: Three
US hospitals use of IV vitamin C and other low-cost, readily available drugs
cut the death-rate of COVID-19-without the use of ventilators! A press release
dated March 30, 2020 stated:
“If you can administer Vitamin C intravenously starting in the
Emergency Room and every 6 hours thereafter, while in the hospital, the
mortality rate of this disease and the need for mechanical ventilators will
likely be greatly reduced,” says Dr. Pierre Kory, the Medical
Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center and Chief of the Critical Care
Service at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He
explains that it’s
the inflammation sparked by the Coronavirus, not the virus itself, that kills
patients. Inflammation causes a condition called Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome (ARDS), which damages the lungs so that patients, suffering fever,
fatigue, and the sense that their inner chest is on fire, eventually cannot
breathe without the help of a ventilator.
The
vitamin C is a combination therapy developed in 2017 by Dr. Paul Marik at Eastern
Virginia Medical School. He gives critically ill
patients IV doses of hydrocortisone, vitamin C, and vitamin B1 within six hours
of entering the emergency room. Dr. Marik reported a significantly lowered
death rate in those treated with his regimen. When COVID-19 came to
Virginia, Dr. Marik used his protocol. He reported saving four COVID-19 patients
including an 86-year-old man admitted to the hospital with 100% oxygen. Elderly
people on oxygen usually do not survive COVID-19.
Dr. J. Varon at United General Hospital In Houston reported
saving 16 lives with this protocol. He reports that his patients are getting
off the ventilator at 48 hours instead of 10-21 days!
My faithful readers know
that I have been yelling as loudly as I can that all COVID-19 patients should
be getting vitamin C IVs. IN FACT, they should be getting vitamin C IVs within six hours of
entering the ER because data shows a markedly reduced mortality rate if the IV
is started within six hours of admission. A delay above that markedly increases
the death rate. Once 12 hours has passed, it is too late. There is no mortality
benefit from the IV protocol.
So
why isn’t IV vitamin C along with the other therapies Dr. Marik recommends
being used in every COVID-19 patient? I am rarely at a loss for words, but here
I am.
IT
IS INFURIATING! I have shown you our success in treating COVID-19 patients with
a holistic protocol that includes
oral dosing of vitamins A, C, D, and iodine as well as IV vitamin C, ozone, and
hydrogen peroxide. I passed along the information I presented above to two local
hospitals and offered my services to explain how to properly administer IV
nutrients. To date, I have heard that one of the hospitals is using vitamin
C. That is great news. I hope the results mirror Dr. Marik’s
results.
Conventional medicine can wait for a
vaccine. At the Center for Holistic Medicine, we know there is not time to wait
for a vaccine. Natural therapies work. It is time for you to find a holistic
doctor who understands the best way to treat COVID-19 (and many other
illnesses) is to support the host. In particular, provide the immune
system with the right nutrients so that it can appropriately fight back and
overcome the disease.
Final Thoughts:
The
press release regarding the success with vitamin C in treating COVID was sent
to me late at night Monday (March 30, 2020). On Tuesday morning, I
had a meeting with my nurses and said, “Finally, the hospitals are going to
start using vitamin C on COVID patients. They are going to see what we have
been seeing.”
I guess I called that one wrong. I thought
the press release would be the lead story on Fox, CNN, MSN, and every other
media outlet. I thought there would be a run on IV vitamin C. I guess good news
is not worth reporting. I say turn off the news. It is not worth watching. In
fact, it is shameful. Where are the vitamin C reports? What about the reports
that hydroxychloroquine appears to be helping?
Folks, there is other good news about
COVID that I want to share. I will report that to you soon.
It is most important to keep in mind
that if the worst-case modelling estimate comes true–200,000 die– 99.94% of us
will be ok. And, I believe those estimates are too high. More about that
later.

All Our Health,
