Many medical articles have discussed the potential use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC)’s anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties for COVID-19. [1][2][3]. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an FDA-approved drug and the precursor of glutathione, one of the body’s primary antioxidants. NAC is used in acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning and is an effective mucolytic, especially in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary…
Update June 5, 2022: WHO update on Monkeypox: To date, the clinical presentation of confirmed cases has been variable. Many cases in this outbreak are not presenting with the classical clinical picture for monkeypox. In cases described thus far in this outbreak, common presenting symptoms include genital and peri-anal lesions, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and pain…
This article aims to introduce the I-RECOVER management for Post COVID-19 Vaccine Syndrome. The FLCCC defines Post COVID vaccine syndrome as “a temporal correlation between a patient receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and the beginning or worsening of clinical manifestations is sufficient to diagnose a COVID-19 vaccine-induced injury when the symptoms are unexplained by other concurrent…
Cases of human monkeypox have been steadily increasing. As of this writing, BNO News reports 639 confirmed, four probable, and 53 suspected for 696. There are no deaths. It is updatedIn the endemic countries in Africa, these are the number of cases from the WHO. Monkeypox is usually self-limiting, but there is likely to be…
The World Health Organization received reports from Iraq of 212 cases of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). The cases were broken down as follows: 115 (54%) were suspected 97 (46%) were laboratory-confirmed There were 27 deaths 14 deaths in suspected cases 13 deaths in laboratory-confirmed cases. The number of cases reported in the first five months…
This article has two objectives. One is to present the adverse effects of the two smallpox vaccines, JYNNEOS and ACAM2000, also used for monkeypox. The second is to demonstrate that reporting adverse events after vaccination (like COVID-19 shots) is necessary so that the safety profile of that product can be more defined. Knowledge about adverse…
When I started writing about monkeypox on May 19, there were only 35 cases. As of this writing, there are now 228 confirmed and 90 suspected cases as tabulated by BNO News. 35 to 237 confirmed cases in five days. That is almost a 700% increase. At this rate, the monkeypox cases may be in…
According to Reuters, Germany ordered 40,000 Imvanex™ smallpox vaccines from Bavarian Nordic to carry out ring vaccinations. Ring vaccination is given to close contacts of an isolated infected person. This prevents the spread of a contagious and deadly disease. The ring is the group of people in close contact with the infected patient. The vaccinated…
Many articles circulating say that the Wuhan Virology Institute (WVI) in China made a gain of function experiment on the monkeypox virus. That is not true. The experiment from the scientists at the Wuhan Virology Institute is the Efficient assembly of a large fragment of monkeypox virus genome as a qPCR template using dual-selection based…
Studies on aerosolized monkeypox were done before to understand smallpox better. Could it be responsible for the many cases suddenly showing up?
The explosion of monkeypox cases in Europe, the US, and Australia is worrying. It is not natural. There’s no point source. Many cases are being diagnosed within days of each other in countries outside Africa where monkeypox is endemic. Furthermore, the affected countries are separated by borders and oceans. There is no report that the…
You may have heard of the unexplained rise in liver inflammation or hepatitis among children. In a report by Yale Medicine, Yet more than 100 cases of severe hepatitis—in otherwise healthy children—have been reported in 25 states and territories in recent months. And there have been at least another 100 cases in 19 other countries….
This page contains nearly all I have written about the rapidly spreading COVID-19. My Public Health undergraduate study and clinical experience in Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine have given me the tools to understand the pandemic’s significance for each patient and the world community. All the articles are based on medical journals. I hope you…
Yesterday, the first case in the United States was documented in Massachusetts. There have been seven suspected cases in Montreal, Canada. There were seven confirmed and one probable case of monkeypox in the United Kingdom and eight patients in Spain and Portugal. In the UK, the four cases were among men who have sex with…
I have talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting and the resulting reversal of cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia. The past several months have shown unrelenting food price increases. This resulted from the war in Ukraine, the hyperinflationary policies of the US Federal Reserve, the culling of millions of poultry due to…
Neuropathy is a problem with nerve endings. The most common causes are diabetes and chemotherapy. We refer to the nerves supplying the upper and lower extremities when we talk of neuropathy in general, which is why it is also called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to other complications like gangrene, limb amputations, falls, persistent discomfort,…
Fetal microchimerism is when the fetal cells travel outside the fetus and embed in the mother’s body during pregnancy. Those fetal cells can stay with the mother for decades and affect her health. The Chimera is a Greek mythological creature with parts taken from different animals. The Benefits to the Baby The fetus has a…
A study from MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, Israel National Emergency Services, and Ben Gurion University showed a 25% increase in cardiac arrest and acute coronary syndrome calls since the COVID vaccines were started. [1] The authors defined Cardiac Arrest (CA) as a sudden electrical malfunction of the heart of presumed cardiac or medical etiology,…
Vaccines modify the immune system. Those changes may protect or increase the risk of acquiring unrelated infections. Also, the body’s response to immune diseases is altered. A good example is the effect of the anti-tuberculosis vaccine, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine. Neonates who received BCG have a lower mortality rate. Is this the same for the COVID-19…
The FLCCC Weekly Webinar on April 13, 2022, featured Dr. Jackie Stone, who talked about her use of silver for COVID-19. She spoke of her experience with silver nanoparticles for COVID-19 at 24:58 here. What is the science behind colloidal silver against infections? A study published in the journal Antibiotics showed that colloidal silver is…
