SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins detected in the plasma following Moderna shots

The goal of COVID-19 vaccination is to make the body produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins anchored in the outer membrane of the skeletal muscle cells. The body will then make antibodies and other immune cells against it to protect future SARS-CoV-2 infections. A study from Harvard detected spike proteins in the blood produced following a…

CDC data shows higher deaths from 25-54 years old in 2021 compared to 2018-2020

The CEO of OneAmerica, in this article Indiana life insurance CEO, says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64 said that the increase in fatalities is across the board in the whole insurance industry. That made me look at the CDC, where all the deaths for the US are reported. I checked the CDC…

145 countries with higher COVID-19 cases and deaths after the COVID shots

145 countries with higher COVID-19 cases and deaths after the COVID shots Any immunization program aims to provide more protection to the people against a particular infection. And that should reflect on the lower the number of cases and deaths after the program started. Kyle Beattie discovered the opposite in 145 countries in his paper,…

T cells from previous infections and shots are protective against the Omicron variant

Antibodies and T- cells are produced in response to viral infections and immunizations, and they are specific to the protein sequences of each virus. The immune system “reads” those protein sequences during infections and immunizations and makes particular antibodies and T cells specific to them. The immune system also retains the information in its memory….

Zinc for COVID-19

I have been taking zinc tablets since my days in the emergency room. In all 18 years, I never took a sick day off despite people accidentally coughing in my face when I checked their throats. It is particularly valuable during winter when other upper respiratory viruses are in season. Zinc is part of the…

The Spike Proteins Have the Same Effect in COVID-19 and the Jabs

I received this question from GB, a reader. Dr. Santiano – thank you for your very helpful piece on the Bristol UK study about the impact of spike proteins on the heart. While you’ve explained clearly how that can happen from vaccination, why is this impact not so apparent from the coronavirus itself? If the…

Here is why COVID testing before a plane flight does not work

Recently, I gave a ride to a family member from a train terminal. She just traveled internationally. Airline passengers are required to be tested by PCR 24 hours before boarding. She had the PCR test done, but the results were unavailable when she was about to board her flight. The delay is the result of…

Higher blood pressure after COVID shots and why it happens

This article aims to raise awareness about the increase in blood pressure (BP) that can be noted after getting COVID shots. A study in Italy showed that among 113 healthcare workers who received the Pfizer vaccine, six subjects (5.3%) showed an average rise in systolic or diastolic blood pressure at home by ≥ 10 mmHg during the first…

Study shows spike proteins affect cardiac pericytes

An athlete’s muscles need a lot of oxygen when they’re playing, and the heart has to pump more blood to meet the oxygen demand,  and it has to beat faster. The rapid heart rate also increases the heart muscles’ oxygen need, and the heart’s blood vessels have to dilate to allow more blood to flow through….

Melatonin prevents SARS-CoV-2 damage to the brain

Melatonin has many uses for prevention and treatment against covid-19. It is included in the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance protocols for COVID-19.  That’s because melatonin has anti-viral, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects against COVID-19. You can read about them at Melatonin’s Multiple Actions Against COVID-19. A new study that is still in preprint, Melatonin…

The effectiveness of home COVID-19 test kits

This article lists the effectiveness of rapid antigen tests. Antigen tests detect proteins, while PCR test identifies molecules or strands of nucleotides. The benefit of antigen tests is that they can be done at home and have the results in minutes. Not all tests are 100% accurate in detecting viruses’ true presence or absence of…

Nasal rinse and deep gargle stop viral respiratory infections in their tracks

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Strike the enemy while they are in preparation. – Sun Tzu,  Art of War  Viruses need to multiply before they infect Viruses have to multiply in the nose and throat to reach an infectious dose to cause disease. It can be any respiratory…

The most read articles for 2021

What is Antibody-Dependent Enhancement, and why should you care Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) results in severe disease that may result from previous vaccinations or infections with coronavirus. Early treatment of variants, including the Omicron, prevents ADE from happening. The FDA fully approved the Comirnaty and not the Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine How to get Ivermectin Lot Numbers of…

Who gets hospitalized during an omicron wave?

The Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) is currently the dominant variant of concern of SARS-CoV-2. Its mutations confer it higher contagiousness but less disease. Some people can still be hospitalized with an Omicron infection, but who? That question is answered by a South African study released yesterday by the Journal of American Medical Association. The study is…

The FLCCC Treatment Protocol for Delta Variant

July 9, 2022 update: The FLCCC Early Treatment Protocol is now The FLCCC I-CARE Early COVID Treatment Protocol This article is updated with new information on Dec. 31, 2021. The Omicron is more infectious but less deadly than the Delta variant. This protocol should also work for the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2. Why treat…

Omicron infections elicit neutralizing antibodies against other variants of concern

Update July 14, 2022: The featured study in this article is now published in Clinical and Translational Medicine. A preprint study from Hong Kong University shows that an Omicron infection elicits an immune response against several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. As a snapshot, the study involved two previously vaccinated people who had an omicron infection….

Bromhexine for COVID-19

Bromhexine is an over-the-counter drug that is recommended to dissolve mucus. It has several brand names worldwide that can be found at this link. c19bromhexine.com gathers medical studies about the use of bromhexine for COVID-19 and presents them together in a meta-analysis. The table below is from c19bromhexine.com and presents five studies using bromhexine for…

Vaccine-induced deaths in the US and Europe are way higher than the VAERS reports!

The preprint study,  COVID vaccination, and age-stratified all-cause mortality risk showed that the CDC estimates of vaccine-induced fatality rates (VFR) of 0.002% are underreported by a factor of 20. Spiro Pantazatos from Columbia University and Herve Seligmann, an independent researcher with 194 publications, made the study. Snapshot COVID shots increase deaths from all causes 0-5 weeks…

Even Syrian golden hamsters say the omicron produce mild disease

The Syrian golden hamster is used for COVID-19 research. That’s because its reaction to SARS-CoV-2 is similar to humans. Early in the pandemic,  Hong Kong University investigated the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 on Syrian golden hamsters. It concluded that hamsters are an essential tool for studying transmission, pathogenesis, treatment, and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Since then,…

The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can form amyloids seen in lung, blood, and nervous system disorders

What is amyloid? Amyloids are tube-like proteins that are small in size. About 7-13 nanometers in diameter. One centimeter is 10,000,000 nanometers. One inch is 25,400,000 nanometers. Amyloid and diseases Amyloids are linked to diseases. The most well-known condition associated with amyloid protein accumulation is Alzheimer’s disease, where progressive memory loss occurs. Amyloids are seen…
