What are the facts on Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)?
HCQ is a medication which has come under intense scrutiny in the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, but much more recently after a group of doctors in the USA came out in public and the media to say how good it is at reducing deaths of those in hospital and infected with this virus. These doctors, and many others, have said that they have treated hundreds of people with HCQ (together with other prescriptions) and their patients recovered quickly and they had no deaths. 
​
Since then the social media censors have gone into overdrive and have removed all mentions of the doctors' media interviews, posts and articles. These platforms have banned or silenced many high profile accounts of people who shared the videos of these doctors, including President Trump! Some of the doctors who took part in the recent video have since been fired for speaking out about the benefits of using HCQ.

What is hydroxychloroquine used for?
HCQ is mainly used to treat malaria, a parasitic infection which is very common in many parts of the world. Malaria causes symptoms of fevers, chills, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms - similar to COVID. HCQ has also been prescribed for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus (SLE). This drug has been used for 65 years, but recent speculation for using it against COVID-19 threatens its availability for those taking it for valid conditions. Its precise method of action is "unknown", according to the product's manufacturer! (Sanofi-Aventis, 2020).

What do the studies say about hydroxychloroquine?
HCQ was suggested as a possible coronavirus prevention and treatment as a result of a similar drug, chloroquine, was researched as a treatment after the 2002/3 SARS pandemic. A key study found that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on the SARS coronavirus by preventing the virus binding to the ACE-2 receptors (which the new coronavirus also uses to infect cells), in monkey cell cultures (Vincent et al., 2005). But HCQ and chloroquine are different drugs, with similar chemical structures. Both are used for similar conditions, such as malaria, and have similar actions and side effects too. But this study on chloroquine in 2005 doesn't prove that HCQ would work on the new coronavirus, hence why new studies were needed. Note that studies on cell cultures often do not reflect reality of how cells (or medications) work in the WHOLE body! Similarly, animal studies also aren't always reflective of how effective a medication will be in humans. Many further studies over a long period of time are required to determine if a drug will be effective in humans, but overall the incidence rates around the world are decreasing while studies are ongoing for HCQ.

The SARS coronavirus, and the MERS coronavirus pandemic in 2012/3 both died out on their own, without any widespread use of HCQ or chloroquine, and no vaccine has been able to be produced since then.

In April 2020, The Qld Government and University of Queensland announced a clinical trial of HCQ for people with a COVID-19 infection. Due to very low numbers in Qld, finding suitable candidates for the study has proven difficult. In the meantime, the Qld government made it illegal for doctors to prescribe HCQ, with a $13,000 fine if they did (Queensland Times, 2020). Similarly, other state governments (such as Victoria) also banned prescribing of HCQ, as did the federal government's medicine regulator, the TGA. In June 2020, the WHO and UK discontinued using HCQ in trials for its effectiveness against the coronavirus, as no benefit was found for people severely affected with the virus, as well as its many risks (WHO, 2020). Why is time and money being wasted on yet another study on HCQ, when there have been many other such tests around the world?! There are over 140 other trials investigating the use of HCQ in coronavirus cases, which is a huge waste of effort and money (ABC News, 2020).

Will HCQ benefit everyone? (Side effects, contraindications and cautions)
HCQ is not for everyone, especially not for children under 6 years, and those with some specific health conditions. The medication should not be used in those with severe gastrointestinal, neurological or blood conditions, as explained on the drug's Product Information insert, but not detailing what these conditions actually are. If you are using this medication, periodic blood tests are recommended, so that any issues from taking it can be seen, and the medication stopped if so. The medication may exacerbate some conditions, such as with psoriasis. Caution is advised in those with liver and kidney conditions (Sanofi-Aventis, 2020).

There are many side effects of taking HCQ, so it is not an entirely safe medication, but then again no medications are. The most serious concerns are with it causing chronic heart toxicity and death. The drug also has other side effects affecting the heart, if one has pre-existing heart conditions such as heart disease, arrhythmic conditions, or low potassium or magnesium levels. The medication can cause severe low blood sugar levels and loss of consciousness that can be life threatening, especially in those on diabetic medications. Irreversible eye damage and vision disturbances can occur in some people on long term or high dose HCQ therapy, which can also cause kidney damage.  Many people have experienced skin rashes and lesions, itching and dryness, and increased pigmentation. Other side effects include low white cell counts (and therefore reduced immune system function), muscle weakness, gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, low appetite, cramps, vomiting), vertigo, tinnitus, deafness, headache, nervousness, mania, vivid dreams, and suicidal behaviour. There are many more side effects available on the Product Information insert (Sanofi-Aventis, 2020).

HCQ has many interactions with other medications. Check with your Doctor or Pharmacist before taking this medication. The drug has NOT been tested for its effects on fertility, nor in pregnancy. However the drug does cross the placenta, and hence should be avoided in pregnancy. HCQ is also secreted in breast milk, and as infants are very sensitive to this medication, together with no safety data in infants, this medication should also be avoided if breastfeeding.

People taking this medication also need to be aware of it causing visual disturbances when driving or operating heavy machinery.

So do you still want to take this medication?!

HCQ is also known in studies to cause gene mutations and chromosomal and DNA breaks, which can lead to cancers.

More recent studies on HCQ
In April 2020, a study was published in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, on the use of HCQ on COVID-19 patients. The study looked at medical data of 96,000 coronavirus-affected patients, and claimed that those who were treated with HCQ or chloroquine had a higher risk of death and heart rhythm problems than those who did not receive these drugs. The authors concluded that they were unable to confirm a benefit of using HCQ to improve survival rates from the virus (Mehra, Desai, Ruschitzka & Patel, 2020). The study had a huge impact, with the WHO and other scientists stopping their trials of HCQ for COVID-19 patients. Intense scrutiny of the study started, and shortly afterwards, claims of many discrepancies and accusations of the data being falsified to reach its conclusions. An independent investigation started, and the company that provided the data for the research failed to prove that the data was accurate, and as a result, the authors of the study retracted it (Mehra, Ruschitzka & Patel, 2020).

One of the problems with this study and many others on HCQ that show little or no benefit is that the research studies were only looking at using this drug as a monotherapy, or on its own. This is a very reductionist approach to research, and one of the major problems with researching medications, and medicine in general. There is never just one cause of a disease or infection, and similarly there is never just one solution for any treatment. The doctors in the USA who came out in public promoting HCQ were also prescribing zinc and azithromycin, an antibiotic, TOGETHER, to get their alleged good outcomes.

The trouble with some scientific research is that scientists are not always trying to prove something works, but many studies are deliberately designed to show that something does NOT work, even though other studies show it does work. This corruption of science is based on bias and competition for money for research funding or profits has been happening for many decades. Good quality scientific studies are hard to find these days, and just because a study has been published doesn't mean that it is good, or that you can believe the conclusions. Hence why there are some studies showing the benefits of HCQ, and some that don't because of bad study design, incorrect dosing (too little to have any effect, or too high a dose to cause increased side effects), or just using the drug on its own.

There are many published studies on HCQ being used on its own, with some showing benefits, and others highlighting the risks of its use or showing no benefit. There are fewer studies showing the use of HCQ together with azithromycin, and less again on the triple therapy of HCQ, azithromycin and zinc. A pre-published study found that the addition of zinc sulphate to the HCQ and azithromycin combination reduced mortality by about 50% compared to the double therapy (Carlucci, Ahuja, Petrilli, Rajagopalan, Jones & Rahimian, 2020).

Alternatives to HCQ
Studies show that HCQ appears to work by increasing the uptake of zinc and increases the effects of chloroquine against virus infected cells (Xue et al., 2014). Zinc is a major mineral that is needed for the immune system, so a deficiency in zinc will increase your risks of contracting the virus (or a cold or flu). Zinc also has anti-viral actions against coronaviruses, anti-inflammatory activity and many other benefits (te Velthuis et al., 2010). Eating zinc-rich foods or supplementing with zinc (together with other nutrients) can be done without taking a drug which has a long list of interactions, cautions and side effects.

Again, zinc shouldn't be taken alone, similar to taking HCQ alone. I have written before on using natural, safer and more effective methods, such as zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, herbal remedies and others, before the TGA banned such recommendations and advice. Since then, there have been a lot of studies showing the effectiveness of these natural supplements against the coronavirus to reduce risks of getting the infection and severity of symptoms because they improve your immune system function. The dosing of these supplements is very important to getting the best benefits from them.

Conclusion
Some doctors have said HCQ is a safe and effective "cure" for the coronavirus. It's not. It cannot or should not be used as a monotherapy, as it needs other treatments to work effectively. And it's not suitable for everyone either...  So we should not be relying on this medication alone, or even at all, at this time. There are justified reasons why HCQ should not be freely available, and it should only be prescribed for its intended uses and conditions for which it has more thorough testing and research.

Luckily there are many other better and safer natural preventatives and treatments which can help your immune system to better protect you against the coronavirus. But sadly, I've not seen any government health department or doctor recommend these simple and effective preventatives or treatments.

Don't wait for your health departments or regulators to change their rules on HCQ to save you, because that won't happen quickly enough. Don't wait for the vaccine either, as previous coronavirus vaccines have never been able to be made or were effective. But you CAN reduce your risks and severity of this infection in other better ways.

There is a growing push in these times of the coronavirus, bizarrely many months into the plandemic, to wear a mask for alleged prevention of the virus. So what is the truth of wearing a mask - can a mask prevent a coronavirus infection or reduce your risks? We'll see...

The push to wear a mask for coronavirus prevention and protection seems to be much more in the USA than other countries, possibly due to the highest incidence rates of the virus, combined with a media industry which borders on propaganda more than facts, and vulnerable people who believe the media scare campaigns. Sadly, the mask-wearing people have taken that propaganda and turned against those who are not wearing a mask in public, with verbal abuse, beatings, and preventing people from shopping for groceries or travelling to work. The abusers seem to have lost their brains, that if you are wearing a mask and you believe it will protect you, then it is of no concern of yours what other people do, or not do such as not wearing a mask if they choose to! This is ironically similar to the vaccine issue, but that's a whoooole other topic for another day!

Being in Australia as I am, next to no-one is wearing a mask when going out in public to the shops etc. You would be lucky to see one person in a thousand wearing a mask!

Here are some facts regarding the use of masks for coronavirus protection or prevention:

1. Look at the boxes of sterile medical masks and note what the box says. It will usually have statements such as "resistance to penetration by synthetic blood", "single use only", "Re-use or extended use, beyond ONE HOUR may lead to infection or cross-contamination", "store in a cool, dry place. Avoid excessive heat (40C or 104F) (but in hot weather or a fever and on your face, this is a problem!), "this mask should not be used in any surgical setting or where significant exposure to liquid, bodily or other hazardous fluids may be expected", "should not be used in a clinical setting where the infection risk levels through inhalation exposure is high" or "Wearing an ear loop mask (ie, a "surgical mask") does not reduce the risk of contracting any disease or infection" or "<company name> makes no warranties, either express or implied, that the mask prevents infection or the transmission of viruses or diseases", or more specifically for the coronavirus with one box of masks quoting "this product will not provide any protection against COVID-19 (coronavirus) or other viruses or contaminants". Seems like a pretty accurate assessment of their own product...
2. The standard "ear loop" surgical masks are not meant to be worn for long, and appear to only offer minimal protection from larger splashes of body fluids like blood or mucus from coughing or sneezing (FDA, 2020), but are not designed to filter or stop tiny viruses! In addition, these masks are loose fitting and often have gaping holes in the sides, top, or bottom, hence only very minimal protection.
3. The N95 respirator masks (also known as P2 masks in Australia) that sold out within days of the coronavirus outbreak, may offer more protection in that they are more fitting to the face and less gaps around the edges. These are for the protection from airborne particles and liquid contamination to the face (FDA, 2020). These are named as they filter out 95% of airborne particles (CDC, 2020a). These should be discarded after each patient encounter.
4. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) in the US does NOT recommend that the public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases including coronavirus (COVID-19). But these N95 respirators must be reserved for health care workers (FDA, 2020).
5. But instead, the CDC recommends that the general public use simple cloth face coverings when in public to slow the spread of the virus! (FDA, 2020).
6. People with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult should check with their doctor before using N95 masks, as they can make it more difficult to breathe! (FDA, 2020).  N95 respirators are also labelled as "single-use" or disposable devices.
7. N95 masks are not designed for children or those with facial hair, as a proper fit cannot be achieved (FDA, 2020).
8. Some N95 masks come with a valve, to make breathing easier. But these valves permit droplet release from the mask, thus putting others at risk! As such, these masks may protect the wearer only, but not those around them who are more at risk of a viral infection (Healthline, 2020).
9. If the medical-grade masks or respirators have the above warnings on them, do you think your wearing of these masks for more than an hour, or even wearing your fancy home--made masks made from spare fabric are going to give you any better protection?! Nope.

So what does the science say? Here goes:

1. A very recent article published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (Klompas et al., 2020) quoted "wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection", and "The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic", no doubt from media scare campaigns and politicians who know nothing about health.
2. The same NEJM article suggested that masks are symbols that "may help increase health care workers' perceived sense of safety" in their workplaces. And a similar symbolic benefit could also apply to the general public who might wear a mask, so if you wear one but someone around you doesn't, you are protected right?! No need to abuse that person for exercising their right to not wearing one. Perhaps they have a medical condition that precludes them from wearing one on advice from their doctor - it's none of your business!
3. A recent study (MacIntyre & Chughtai, 2020) investigated the results of multiple trials on the use of masks and respirators in the community and healthcare settings. Trials in healthcare workers found that respirators (ie the N95/P2 type mentioned above) were effective if worn continually in a shift, but not effective if worn intermittently. Surgical masks were not effective, and cloth masks were even less effective and can even increase the risk of infection.
4. An RCT study on using cloth masks in a hospital situation for 4 weeks found an increased risk of respiratory illnesses in people who wore them. The study also found that these masks allowed 97% penetration of infectious airborne particles compared to other medical masks at 44% (MacIntyre et al., 2015).
5. The CDC recommends some people should NOT wear a mask - children younger than 2 years old, anyone who has trouble breathing, or anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance (CDC, 2020b).
6. The CDC also recognise that masks may not be possible in every situation or for some people. Wearing a mask may exacerbate a physical or mental health condition, lead to an emergency or cause other safety concerns (CDC, 2020b). Under privacy laws, someone does NOT have the right to ask why you are not wearing a mask! It's illegal to ask, so you don't have to tell them.
7. The CDC recommends that masks not be worn while engaged in activities that may cause the mask to become wet such as swimming or if the mask causes difficulty breathing, such as when exercising, or in hot and humid weather (CDC, 2020b). There have been reports of runners, cyclists, and even drivers suffering heat-related illnesses or breathing difficulties, or fainting and having accidents from wearing masks. Use common sense if you must wear a mask!

Our bodies are constantly in contact with microbes of many types, with most being benign or harmless or even beneficial to us! Only a few can cause infections. We cannot prevent contact with all of these microbes, hence it is best to focus instead on strengthening your immune system!

One possible benefit for wearing masks, however, is that those people participating in the recent BLM riots in the US and elsewhere were not likely to be able to be identified on CCTV cameras and therefore get away with their crimes. Perhaps similarly, those wearing masks might be able to evade the increasing number of facial recognition cameras and tracking systems that are being rolled out at the moment.
 
Some final questions to ponder:

1. If the 1.5m social distancing recommendation works, then why do we now need masks 4 months into the plandemic?
2. If masks work, then why do we still need to social distance ourselves?
3. If both social distancing and masks work, then why do we still need the lockdowns?

The use of masks to prevent contracting a respiratory infection like the coronavirus or others, appears questionable based on evidence from published studies. Since both social distancing and masks don't work, the government recommendations to follow these instructions are all about compliance, and not for your protection or health.

Introduction to the Gardasil vaccine
The Gardasil vaccine has been considered to be a breakthrough vaccine for women and women's health, marketed incorrectly and somewhat ironically as "the cervical cancer vaccine", allegedly for the prevention of cervical cancer. But does it really do this? No!
The Gardasil vaccine is not going to prevent cervical cancer, as it is an HPV vaccine - a vaccine against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a viral infection that is mostly, but not completely, a sexually-transmitted disease. With over 100 HPV viruses in the wild, can this vaccine really prevent an HPV infection or even cervical cancer? Again, no!

In 2007, the first Gardasil vaccine became available for public use, containing 4 strains of HPV - 2 which can cause genital warts, and 2 that may cause cervical cancer. Hence this version is now known as Gardasil 4. In 2018 a new Gardasil vaccine became available, with 9 strains of HPV viruses - still a long way short of the 100 possibles (WHO, 2019). The Gardasil vaccine was initially given only to girls of pre-teen or teenage years. In more recent times, teen boys are now recommended to get this vaccine too, as while they do not have a cervix, they too can carry the HPV vaccine and infect their sexual partners.

This article will look at what you are not being told about this vaccine, why it is one of the most dangerous vaccines to ever come onto the market, and why you need to read this and confirm this information, BEFORE you inject your children with it... This is called "informed consent" - the right to know what you and your children are being injected with in this medical procedure, of the risks vs benefits, side effects and possible adverse outcomes of which there are many, so that you can make up your own minds as to whether you wish to submit your children to this almost untested vaccine, and the right to decline based on being given this information. Yes Gardasil is "almost untested" is actually true - it wasn't tested in a true scientific way, as explained in these referenced facts below.

In this article and the following facts, I will refer to the original Gardasil vaccine as "Gardasil 4" to differentiate it from information from the new 2018 version of "Gardasil 9".

The following is a summary of key points in the history, testing, and use of the Gardasil vaccines, including side effects and severe adverse reactions:

1. The original Gardasil 4 vaccine was fast-tracked by US drug regulators, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after only a 6-month clinical test. Normally, new vaccines take many years to a decade or longer to undergo testing before approval is granted. This lack of testing will be explained further below, and is why it has many health effects.
2. There are over 100 types of the Human Papillomavirus (WHO, 2019), yet the original Gardasil vaccine only contained virus particles to 4 of them (FDA, 2018). The new Gardasil 9 still only contains 9 types of HPV particles.
3. In scientific testing of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, the manufacturer must compare the results of the test group (those receiving the drug or vaccine) against a control group (those receiving a placebo) - people who do not actually get the drug or vaccine. The placebo generally must be an inert substance, or one which does NOT have any effect, such as a sugar pill or a saline (salt) injection. Tests are normally done "blinded", meaning that the test subjects are not aware that they are getting the actual product being tested or the placebo, or "double-blinded", so the test subjects AND the researchers don't know who is getting what - to reduce any possible bias or manipulation of the data. In Gardasil 4, the manufacturer did NOT use an inert placebo, but one containing "Amorphous Aluminium Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate" (Seqirus, 2019), being the adjuvant (immune system stimulating) product used in the real vaccine! The same adjuvant was used in the vaccine AND in the control group. This was a deliberate attempt at manipulating the test results to show that the vaccine caused no more side effects than the placebo, and thus be deemed "safe". Despite the fact that the vaccine (and the placebo) both caused many side effects, and the manipulation of the scientific method used in the tests of this product, it was approved by the authorities. Read more below about the issues with this aluminium adjuvant.
4. Gardasil 4 contains 225 micrograms of aluminium as an adjuvant. Gardasil 9 has over DOUBLE this amount of neurotoxic aluminium at 500 micrograms (Sequiris, 2019).
5. The Gardasil vaccine protocol requires a series of 3 vaccinations. This is because the seroconversion, or development of HPV antibodies, is very low or non-existent in many recipients after the first shot. Hence a second and third shot are needed, to try and stimulate the immune system into producing HPV antibodies. Even after 3 Gardasil vaccinations, some recipients may not have developed any antibodies, and are therefore not immune to the virus.
6. Gardasil was tested by the manufacturer on females from 16 to 45 years old, and males from 16 to 26 years old. Yet the age group which the vaccine is given to is much younger - usually 12-15 years (Sequiris, 2019). In effect, those in this age group are given a vaccine which is UNTESTED for this population.
7. Even in the manufacturer's own testing of the vaccine, people still contracted HPV and some even developed cervical cancer to CIN III stage, which was serious enough to require surgery. Yet the manufacturer still claimed 100% efficacy for protection against the 4 HPV types (Seqirus, 2019).
8. Even the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, the US medicines regulator) says on their website that "Most people don't have any signs (of HPV infection). HPV may go away on its own-- without causing any health problems"! So why do we need this dangerous vaccine?! (FDA, 2018)
9. The manufacturer noted in their product information for Gardasil 4 that testing showed "Subjects who were already infected with one or more vaccine-related HPV types prior to vaccination were protected from clinical disease caused by the remaining vaccine HPV types" (Seqirus, 2019). This is your natural immune system doing its job! So actually contracting the HPV naturally actually stimulates immune protection against the other types! So again, why do we need this vaccine?
10. The manufacturer also noted that test subjects who already had HPV at the time of testing the vaccine "did not show a statistically significant reduction of CIN or AIS (cervical cancer) compared to placebo". They also said "GARDASIL has not been shown to protect against the diseases caused by every HPV type, and will not treat existing disease" (Seqirus, 2019).
11. People who are sensitive to any of the ingredients of Gardasil must not receive the vaccine. Those who develop symptoms of hypersensitivity after receiving a dose of Gardasil should not receive further doses (Seqirus, 2019).
12. Gardasil 4 was not been tested for whether or not it, or its ingredients, may cause cancer. It was also not tested for whether it may cause gene damage which can precede or subsequently cause cancer (Seqirus, 2019).
13. Gardasil 4 was tested for possible effects on fertility, in rats, without any effects. Gardasil 4 was also tested for fertility effects in women (Sequiris, 2019).
14. Gardasil 4 was not tested in pregnant women, and is not recommended for pregnant women. Despite scientific protocols banning pregnant women from being used as medical test subjects, Gardasil 4 was tested on pregnant women, which resulted in spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, late foetal death, and birth defects in those who received either the Gardasil 4 vaccine or the (aluminium-laced) placebo in 22-27% of cases known. Yet despite these results, the manufacturer claims, "there is no evidence to suggest that administration of GARDASIL adversely affects fertility, pregnancy, or infant outcomes" (Seqirus, 2019).
15. Gardasil 4 was not tested in humans for effects on lactation (breastfeeding). Studies in rats showed HPV antibodies in the offspring, so the vaccine does get transferred via breast milk (Seqirus, 2019).
16. Side effects of Gardasil 4 were only recorded within 15 days of the vaccination, and include pain and swelling around the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness and pain in extremities, difficulty breathing, joint pains, migraines.
17. Other Gardasil side effects and reactions include seizures, systemic pain, headaches, muscle pain and weakness, joint pain, paralysis, fatigue, numbness, low blood pressure, high heart rate, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, respiratory difficulties, asthma, menstrual disorders, psychological issues, hallucinations, cognitive impairments, memory difficulties, poor concentration, sleep disorders, and many more (Beppu et al., 2017).
18. Due to the number of adverse reactions and complaints about Gardasil, some countries (such as Japan) have stopped the Gardasil vaccination program (Beppu et al., 2017). Considering that other countries are having exactly the same adverse reactions and deaths, why haven't our health departments or drug regulators done the same?
19. Because Gardasil contains aluminium as an adjuvant, and aluminium having neurotoxic effects - being toxic and damaging to nerves, the nervous system and brain, Gardasil can cause nerve damage that results in chronic, severe and long-term side effects (Shaw & Petrik, 2009; Alleva, Rankin & Santucci, 1998; Shaw, Li & Tomljenovic, 2014).
20. Side effects to Gardasil can be varied and difficult to trace back to the one of the 3 shots needed.
21. The HPV virus is responsible for 70% of cervical cancers, so a vaccine against this virus isn't going to prevent all possible cases (New Scientist, 2006).
22. Ten people died from the original manufacturer's testing of the 2 Gardasil vaccines, 5 in each study. Many hundreds more have died from the Gardasil vaccination since it has been on the market. Death shortly after being vaccinated with Gardasil is a very real outcome. Hence why it is so important to be informed of this information, and having a right to decline this vaccine. Where there is a risk, there must be a choice. And an informed choice, which you have not been given, until now.
23. Before Gardasil 4 was introduced, rates of cervical cancer were already falling and were at their lowest levels ever recorded. This reduction of incidences of cervical cancer were due to increased sex education, promotion of condoms and other initiatives.
24. When Gardasil 4 was released in 2007, the rates of cervical cancer have INCREASED in Australia, the UK and other countries every year since. Gardasil has NOT reduced rates of cervical cancer at all! (Cancer Research UK, 2019)
25. Cancer Research UK announced an alarming 54% rise in cervical cancer among 24-29-year-olds, the first generation to receive the HPV jabs (Cancer Research UK, 2019). See the graph above, which shows 3 blue lines rising since 2007 for increased incidences in all these age groups...
26. Gardasil is known to cause several autoimmune conditions, including SLE (ie, lupus), ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis (an autoimmune neurological condition, similar to Multiple Sclerosis or paralysis), and others, in many cases very shortly after the vaccination (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017; Hu, 2019). The manufacturer's own product insert states that 2.2% of Gardasil 9 recipients and 3.3% of Gardasil 4 recipients developed NEW autoimmune medical conditions after the vaccine (Merck, 2020). See this statement taken from the USA product insert in the above image. Note that this statement does NOT appear in the Australian product information insert for Gardasil 9.
27. Gardasil can cause a little-mentioned adverse event condition called "ovarian failure", or in another word, "sterility" in females (Vadalà, Poddighe, Laurino & Palmieri, 2017). Affected girls and women won't be able to have children, as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccine. Hence if you (as a parent) are looking for more balanced and informed advice on Gardasil, and if you would like grandchildren, perhaps you should not recommend this vaccine to your children.
28. Vaccinations only give at best a temporary immunity to an HPV infection, of approximately 4 years (WebMD, 2020). After this time, when many adolescents are beginning to have sex, they may no longer be immune to HPV.
29. As Gardasil doesn't protect people from other sexually-transmitted infections, condoms and/or other contraceptives are still required. Condoms can reduce the risks of contracting HPV, genital warts and also cervical cancer, even without the vaccine (CDC, 2019).
30. In Australia there is a class action legal action taking place, for victims of the Gardasil vaccine who had severe adverse reactions. They have a Facebook page called "Gardasil Class Action Australia" if you would like to join and find out more.

 
Risk factors for contracting HPV and development of cervical cancer
Studies have shown that cervical cancer isn't only caused by the HPV virus. In fact, other causative factors must also occur for the development and progression of cervical cancer, especially:

1. an imbalance in the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, and male hormone testosterone (Roura et al., 2016),
2. and an immune system dysfunction.

​
Other factors which can increase the risks of HPV and cervical cancer include (Burd, 2003):

• Stress - very common around teenage and adolescent years, as stress causes a hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies and lowers immune system function
• Nutrient deficiencies - for nutrients needed for immune system function, hormone production, growth and tissue repair
• Lifestyle factors - drinking, smoking, drugs, insufficient sleep quantity or quality, low exercise
• Medications - anti-inflammatories, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immuno-suppressives
• Other infections - Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus 6 and 7 and others
• Oral contraceptives - long term use of these can be a significant factor in some studies.

If a female has any PMS symptoms, irregular periods, pain, cramping, sore breasts and other period symptoms, this indicates a hormone imbalance which should be assessed by a health practitioner (Nutritionist/Naturopath) as these symptoms can be cleared to reduce the risks of HPV and cervical cancer.

If these risk factors are identified and minimised, the risks of contracting HPV and it causing cervical cancer can be greatly reduced. All without a dangerous vaccine.
 
Independent investigation into Gardasil 9
In 2019, an independent team of Italian scientists from a group called Corvelva, started investigations into many common vaccines and their ingredients. They reviewed the Gardasil 9 vaccine ingredients from several batches, looking at the genetics of the RNA and DNA of the pathogens and other ingredients in the vaccine. They found the following (Corvelva, 2019):

1. The Gardasil 9 vaccine should contain antigens from 9 HPV viruses, but only 7 were actually found!
2. One of the missing HPV viruses (type 11) is commonly associated with cervical lesions, and another (type 58) is frequently associated with cervical cancer, hence no protection will be present for these 2 HPV strains.
3. There were 338 chemical contaminants detected which should not have been in the vaccine.
4. Various bacteria and yeasts from laboratory contamination were found in the Gardasil vaccine. In fact 54% of the DNA in this vaccine was from over 2 dozen other bacteria, parasite and yeast microbes which shouldn't be there!
5. Human and mouse DNA. This can increase the risk of autoimmune conditions by causing immune system dysfunction.
6. HPV virus DNA fragments - which are not intended parts of the vaccine per se. These are more contaminants which may be able to be integrated into your DNA and cause autoimmune reactions.
7. Molluscum contagiosum virus - a type of pox virus which causes skin blemishes and rashes, now quite common but not so much in the past. Now you know why there's more of it around...
8. Other retroviruses - which can become integrated into your DNA, can cause genetic mutations and cancers. This includes Human endogenous retrovirus K, L-BC virus, narnavirus, infectious equine anaemia virus, all which were found in this vaccine.
9. Mouse leukaemia virus - which causes a white blood cell cancer.

 
Clinical Observations
In my clinical practice, I have seen many female patients who have presented with very strange symptoms that no doctor was able to find the cause of, or diagnose, or be able to treat to reduce their symptoms. My detailed questioning in my initial consultations picked up on the onset of their symptoms, which was around the start of their teen years. On intuition initially and lately from experience, I asked what may have happened at that time, or whether they had the Gardasil vaccine. In many cases, they said the symptoms appeared shortly after this vaccine. Sure this is what is known as “anecdotal evidence” but the published evidence referenced here, and from many more studies since the Gardasil vaccine became available, confirms that these side effects and adverse reactions are from the vaccine and are very real. Because doctors don't try to trace the root causes of health conditions, they don't know that Gardasil has these reactions. This can lead to the patient suffering for years to a decade or longer before being diagnosed, if at all.

A very common ongoing adverse reaction I have seen in practice is a combination of chronic digestive complaints together with heart symptoms. The heart symptoms often present as a racing heart (tachycardia) which the person may or may not feel, or slow pulse (bradycardia), or arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), or having all of these - a fast heart beat becoming slow then racing again in quick succession. Heart rate testing can show a very wide range of beats, often a difference of 20+ beats per minute from low to high and low again when rested. Orthostatic testing of heart activity, of testing blood pressure and pulse when laying down, and immediately on standing, can show a steady BP but an even higher pulse rate on standing, and an overall difference in pulse of 30-40+ beats per minute. In teens who have these symptoms, many cannot tolerate any exercise, and some athletic teens have had to give up on their sports because of a sudden reduced performance after their Gardasil vaccination.

Other related symptoms from the heart dysfunction include frequent fainting and dizziness, headaches, weakness and fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, poor thinking or low memory and concentration (NHS, 2019).

Together with the irregular heart function, the same patients also have chronic digestive complaints, of pains, cramps, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Ulcerative Colitis, hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), chronic nausea, and other digestive complaints.

The digestive system is affected together with the cardiovascular system, as both systems are controlled by nerves, or more particularly, branches of the autonomic nervous system. The dysfunction of these systems can suggest a diagnosis of Dysautonomia, or "dysfunctional autonomic nervous system". The particular dysautonomia diagnosis I have found as a direct result of the Gardasil vaccination is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. In my investigations of many patients with Gardasil reactions, I have diagnosed POTS from their symptoms, history, and orthostatic testing of their blood pressure and heart rate. I have referred patients to their GP for a formal testing and diagnosis, only to be told that they don't know what POTS is or who to refer to.

Luckily, POTS can be diagnosed, treated and reversed, but not with medical interventions. It can be treated with nutritional medicine, lifestyle improvements, and herbal medicines.

I have also seen cases of cervical cancer being diagnosed in women who tested negative for HPV, but some had the Gardasil vaccine (which is known to cause cervical cancer). They also had hormone imbalances, and other factors like stress and nutrient deficiencies.
 
Conclusions
This document is a summary of many published studies into the Gardasil vaccine, information from the manufacturer, official government statistics, information from drug regulators, and from my own clinical experience with patients who have had many side affects, adverse reactions and chronic health conditions resulting from the Gardasil vaccine.

The Gardasil vaccine was not thoroughly tested, and not tested to accepted scientific protocols before being approved for use. Testing did not include using an inert placebo in the control group, which enabled the manufacturer to claim very little difference in side effects between the vaccine and an active placebo. This is an unconscionable act which was done deliberately to hide side effects in order to gain a fast approval. It also shows a lack of thoroughness of the drug regulators to not see this deliberate ploy of deception, prior to the vaccine being approved.

The Gardasil vaccine does not do what it claims to do - to reduce incidences of cervical cancer in women. In many countries, including in Australia, cervical cancer incidences have increased every year since Gardasil was introduced. And any protection from antibodies has only a short lasting effect of 4 years. After this time, there is no immunity to HPV. Gardasil has been shown in studies to actually cause cervical cancer. Gardasil simply does not work.

Gardasil causes many side effects, long-term health effects, and causes many deaths. One of its key reasons for this is the use of an aluminium adjuvant, used to heighten the immune response to producing antibodies, and many recipients still do not develop antibodies to HPV. Aluminium in the body is a neurotoxin - it damages nerves of the autonomic nervous system, to cause a great many symptoms and health issues, such as heart conditions and digestive conditions.

HPV alone is not the only cause of cervical cancer - an imbalance in male and female hormones and a dysfunctional immune system are also required factors for the development and progression of cervical cancer. Improve the immune system function and improve the hormone imbalance and cervical cancer can be prevented or reversed, without needing the dangerous Gardasil vaccine.

All parents of teenage children must be given full informed consent of all the risks of the Gardasil vaccine, including the chronic health conditions and reactions it can cause, including death. I do not see this information being given to parents or teens. Where there is a risk with a vaccine, and there are many with Gardasil, parents and teens must be fully informed and also allowed the right to decline this medical procedure. Luckily there are other options available to reduce the risks of this infection and to also reduce the risks of cervical cancer. 

Schools around the country (and in other countries too) are the target for government-funded mass vaccination programs for the Gardasil vaccine. All Year 7s in Australia are rounded up and taken somewhere in the school for this shot. Often, letters or forms by concerned parents to not get this vaccine are ignored by teachers and the health department staff who simply assume that all children will get the vaccine. It is best to inform your children of the dangers to this vaccine, and keep them home on the allocated day, or to avoid it by hiding during the time it is being done.

Just in case you arrived on earth from a distant planet in the last few weeks, you might notice that things are have been a little weird, crazy, or absolutely dumbfoundingly stupid of late. We have had a little issue with a little bug called the "coronavirus", or "SARS-CoV-2" (aka "SARS version 2") which causes an infection called "COVID-19" which you are statistically unlikely to get, suffer from (directly at least), or die from. Yet the entire planet is suffering from a "we're all gonna die" media campaign.
​
Here is a summary of observations and learnings from the coronavirus pandemic thus far:

1. The virus is man-made, as shown from multiple studies of the genetic code of the virus
2. Studies have not found an animal host source of the virus, and other studies have found no close relative to the coronavirus, based on genetic analysis and comparison to similar strains
3. Scientists in various biowarfare labs around the world (China, USA, UK, Australia and perhaps more countries) are complicit in the development of the genetically-modified man-made coronavirus at the centre of this pandemic, through years of repeated genetic manipulation of other coronavirus types to increase their ability to infect human cells. The main lab responsible for much of the genetic modification of the coronavirus, based on their published studies of their work, was based in Wuhan, China
4. The initial statistics of incidences and mortality rates from the country of origin, China, cannot and should not have been believed, being a communist country with a secretive government with a history of suppressing the media and inaccurate information being told
5. The PCR testing of the coronavirus, used to determine incidences of infection, is inaccurate
6. Statistics of coronavirus incidences therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
7. The WHO have directed countries (and their medical systems) to classify deaths (by "falsifying" death records) as being from COVID-19 based on an inaccurate test, and/or assumptions of infection without testing, or deaths from chronic diseases, suicides, shootings, flu and pneumonia and other respiratory conditions, and other deaths as being from the virus
8. Statistics of coronavirus mortality rates therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
9. The media are experts in manipulating the inaccurate statistics to create an environment of fear throughout the world during this alleged pandemic
10. The fear from the media has caused major divisions in families, workplaces, friends and communities, between those who believe the media scare campaigns and those who have done their own research or who have personal experience, or who are "free thinkers"
11. Governments and authorities have recommended people to "report" those who do not appear to be believing or following the recommended guidelines, thus further dividing communities in a time they keep broadcasting "we are all in this together"
12. Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO have not recommended simple, cheap, effective and proven ways to prevent or treat people from the coronavirus. They have deliberately withheld information, lied about effectiveness (or non-effectiveness) of preventative strategies and treatments, and instead promoting hygiene and isolation until medications or a vaccine are available (for which there are still none available)
13. Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO, have ignored the many natural preventions and treatments that have past evidence of effectiveness against other viruses, thus contributing to more infections and deaths
14. There is plenty of quality published evidence of the effectiveness of natural therapies such as therapeutic doses of vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, to support or improve one's immune system function against any infections, as well as lifestyle improvements of regular exercise, reducing stress, improving sleep, and eating a nutritious diet and low processed food to reduce blood sugar levels. However this advice and recommendations have not been suggested by the WHO or government health authorities - why?
15. The WHO, governments and health regulators, such as Australia's TGA, have effectively banned and gagged all health practitioners (both medical and complementary/alternative) from making any recommendations to prevent or treat the coronavirus, and have actively prosecuted companies and individuals who have spoken out against the government or defied these regulatory guidelines
16. It is well known in many published studies of the seasonal nature of respiratory infections around the world, for the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and even asthma. Such respiratory infections occur at much higher rates in the colder months of the year, in this case the northern hemisphere countries being far more affected being their winter and autumn during the early months of the pandemic
17. The seasonal effect of all respiratory infections occurs when the sun is further away from one hemisphere of the earth, which receives less solar radiation, resulting in low sun exposure and low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory compound, and immune system strengthening hormone. A vitamin D deficiency is a key causative factor in respiratory infections as shown in many published studies. Yet the government health authorities have not mentioned preventative advice to get safe sun exposure or vitamin D supplementation to reduce incidences or mortality rates
18. The media and government health authorities have focussed on the virus itself - to try and avoid the virus through unproven mass isolations, lockdowns and shutdowns, and hygiene practices, still being based on old 1800s "germ theory" practices that an exposure to a germ will mean an infection with the virus
19. The "germ theory" of old has been disproved, as not everyone who is exposed to an infective pathogen will actually "catch" the infection or show symptoms. Whether someone exposed to a virus will develop symptoms, and how quickly (or not) they get over the infection is due to the effectiveness and strength of their immune system, NOT the effectiveness and strength of the virus
20. Humans cannot avoid a virus or other pathogens, but we can improve our immune system effectiveness and strength to find and deal with infections such as the coronavirus
21. Some countries such as Sweden, Taiwan, Japan and others did not implement nationwide lockdowns, business shutdowns or "preventative" isolations for their populations. They did, however, recommend voluntary isolation of those at risk, with chronic health conditions, respiratory and cardiac conditions or the aged. The rest of the population could carry on as usual. If they were exposed to or become infected with the coronavirus, they would then develop a personal immunity and community herd immunity to the virus into the future
22. Herd immunity is a theory that if a certain percentage of a population are immune from an infection, they can "protect" or reduce incidences amongst those who are not immune, and the infection can die out in time. However herd immunity is only possible through a reasonable percentage of the population actually contracting the infection and developing antibodies to it. Antibodies produced from a natural infection last a lifetime. Unlike from vaccines which simulate a forced infection - antibodies may not be produced at all, hence why multiple boosters are required, or if they are produced, only last a few months to a few years at most. Hence herd immunity cannot occur even in 100% vaccinated populations. Mandating a flu vaccine or coronavirus vaccine (if it can ever be produced) will not allow a herd immunity to occur
23. The WHO is open to corruption through large private donations of alleged philanthropy, but in reality being for influence of the world's health organisation. The Gates Foundation are the second largest donor to the WHO, behind the USA, which suggests a huge conflict of interest especially given the foundation's many other investments in this pandemic. Such influence over the WHO must stop
24. The Gates Foundation are major investors in every part of this pandemic - from funding biowarfare labs who perform genetic modification of coronaviruses, to funding many pharmaceutical companies to develop untested fast-tracked vaccines or medications, to funding the reuse of existing medications that have no proven evidence of effectiveness against this virus, to developing virus test kits, to pretending to being an alleged health advocate or expert on this virus pandemic, to funding a company developing RFID tracking chips being injected at the same time of the vaccine, funding a worldwide technology platform to track people using their implanted ID chips in real time, and many other conflicts of interest with other companies
25. The UN have aligned with a UK cyber security firm to produce an electronic COVID-19 identification and health status passport called COVI-PASS. Plans have been made to record the coronavirus pathology testing results, virus immunity status, and vaccination status, and more, to be recorded and needing to be held by every person. Intentions are for this system to be used for other tracking and identification purposes for travel, workplaces, and many other locations, and potential restrictions imposed on those who do not meet certain eligibility criteria
26. Deeper investigations of mortality rates and published studies suggest a mortality rate from COVID-19 at just 0.1%, being on par with a severe seasonal influenza (Fauci, 2020)
27. With such a small mortality rate, based on corrected and proven statistics resulting in a survival rate of 99.9%, the massive worldwide disruptions were completely unnecessary
28. A mandated worldwide vaccine, as frequently being promoted by Bill Gates and many governments, based on these corrected mortality rates, is completely unnecessary given a 99.9% survival rate in those who have the coronavirus infection
29. The worldwide shutdowns, lockdowns, isolations, and their resulting effects on families, businesses, companies, stock markets, investments, and the economy, were completely unnecessary
30. Educated and expert scientists and medical/health commentators on social media platforms have provided a more balanced and even more accurate source of information during the pandemic, and those working in hospitals giving their first-hand personal and proven accounts of their experiences which are the opposite of the government information being given
31. Social media platforms have increased censorship of many aspects of the pandemic, to suppress sharing of information and even deleting entire accounts from knowledgeable experts, scientists, doctors, virologists, and more, because their expert scientific opinion differs from the approved government narrative or the opinion of the platform owners and their advisors. Luckily Trump has very recently banned social media platforms from censoring personal opinions and even expert advice that didn't fit the beliefs of the platform owners - freedom of speech is to reign again!

Recommendations that are needed in the aftermath of this plandemic:

1. There needs to be an independent investigation of the recommendations by the WHO to all governments on how to classify COVID-19 deaths, and investigations into every classified death and adjustments to statistics made accordingly to make them accurate
2. Investigations by the media authorities in all countries, to improve the accuracy of news information, as much of it has been a fear-based scare campaign, highlighted by opinionated and biased TV hosts who do not have a clue of what is really going on in this plandemic
3. The genetic modification of dangerous pathogens, to increase their ability to infect human cells, or any other "gain of function" testing or manipulation MUST be banned worldwide from now and forever
4. The WHO need to be completely disbanded and a new and independent government-only funded health organisation created, for the benefit of every person. There should be no corporate or private sponsorships or funding allowed, no conflicts of interest allowed, and equal opportunities being given for proven natural therapies to be recommended for prevention and treatment options, along with safe and effective medical treatments as needed
5. Many more people of the world have awoken to the massive manipulation of them during this plandemic. People are now aware of the corruption and conflicts of interest in the WHO, state and federal governments, and the media, to lie, to cause fear, to divide communities, and implement new laws to restrict movements, interactions, and lifestyle choices. Any further restrictions or mandates related to this plandemic, because of the abovementioned manipulations of incidence and death rates, corruption and conflicts of interest, are unnecessary and will not be tolerated by the people.

​Keep aware. Keep disbelieving. Keep researching. Keep informed. And keep healthy.

In the very early days of the coronavirus making the news (late January 2020), a study was pre-published (awaiting official publishing and peer-review) which suggested that the coronavirus may be man-made (Pradhan et al. 2020). The authors of the study performed an analysis of the genome of the virus, and found it was mostly based on the 2002 SARS virus, but also allegedly found to have 4x insertions of the HIV virus in its genetic code. Such genetic differences could not have happened naturally. This caused a major stir at the time, and the scientists were criticised as perhaps mocking the seriousness of the new epidemic (as a pandemic hadn't been announced at that time), and the authors of the study withdrew it from publishing due to pressure from the scientific community. The authors intended to revise the study and perhaps republish it.

Many rumours and debates have persisted as to the origins of the virus - did it come from bats or another animal, how did it cross over into humans, and was this a natural process or man-made?

A few months have passed and more studies have been published on many aspects of the coronavirus. The official line from the WHO and our governments is that the coronavirus was a natural development or mutation, from a still-unknown animal source, and some studies have published these findings.

But governments and their agencies lie. They all do. All the time.

I've not believed a lot of the scary information in the media since day 1 of this infection. I've looked into the statistics of it and why they do not make any sense and cannot be believed. The testing of the virus is questionable and inaccurate, and the classification of deaths is a rort - a process recommended by the WHO to falsely inflate death rates, which has so many people unnecessarily scared of this virus, leading to politicians making disruptive and damaging policy changes which have affected us all. For what intents and purposes we still do not fully understand, but a lot of things in this pandemic stink of untruths. Especially on the issue of whether the virus is man-made or not.

A pivotal new study was published in the prestigious Nature Medicine journal (Andersen et al., 2020). The authors investigated the genetic code of a key part of the coronavirus and compared this to other known coronaviruses, to come to a conclusion that the new coronavirus was a natural mutation from one of several possible animal sources, of which still has not been identified. Their conclusion was pretty definitive. Except their conclusion and theories were not supported by their own results, but it helped negate many "conspiracy-theory" social media posts and instead supported the narrative of the media and governments and their health departments.

The figure (shown above) from the Andersen study clearly shows the genetic code differences between the different animal coronavirus types and the 2002 SARS coronavirus too. The marked and different coloured areas show the genetic differences. A major problem with the scientists' conclusions is the INSERTION of a 12-nucleotide section in the "Human-SARS-CoV-2" coronavirus sequence (notes with a star in the figure) which is COMPLETELY MISSING from every other coronavirus type known. Such a large genetic difference cannot happen randomly or naturally. It's not even in the alleged bat coronavirus as the source of this pandemic. The coronavirus didn't come from bats. Such an insertion can only come from a lab.

The scientists claim the impact of this inserted sequence is unknown but that it appears to enhance infection in human cells. But they still claim that the virus is of natural origin!

The details of one study is not be enough proof to make an assertion that the coronavirus is man-made...

In a another recent pre-published study (Wu et al., 2020), the scientists compared the genetic code of the new coronavirus with the earlier SARS and MERS pandemic viruses, and a bat coronavirus too. They also looked at the equivalent of the genetic family tree of the coronavirus, with respect to a major component of the virus - its spike protein that is used to attach to and infect a cell. It was found that the coronavirus was closest to the 2002 SARS virus and the bat coronavirus, with some major differences. Some minor mutations were found to exist between the current coronavirus and SARS coronavirus, and the virus binds more strongly to ACE-2 receptors (and other receptors) on human cells than SARS, hence why it can infect more people. See the phylogenic tree diagram above.

The phylogenic tree diagram (a genetic evolutionary family tree) for the coronaviruses starts in the 12 o'clock position and is progresses clockwise to newer generations of coronaviruses. Notice that the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is more recent. Early coronaviruses are highlighted in pink, as containing a particular location or sequence, called a "furin cleavage site", in its spike protein. The furin cleavage site disappeared several generations ago in the coronavirus family tree, but somehow magically reappears again in this new coronavirus genetic code. The ACE-2 and furin binding sites on cells throughout the body (not just in the lungs) increases the infection of this virus throughout the body to affect more organs as has been seen. This study also noted the addition of the same 12-nucleotide section of genetic code noted in the previous study that was missing from other coronavirus strains. This insertion is thought to be a reason why this virus is stronger than SARS. The study also found and recommended many medications, nutrients and herbals which would be effective against the furin site of the virus - including 4 HIV medications which is significant given the earlier finding of the alleged HIV insertions in the coronavirus genetic code. The WHO have announced trials of HIV drugs to determine their effectiveness against this virus (Kupferschmidt & Cohen, 2020).

The above finding of the coronavirus specifically using the ACE-2 receptors on cell walls to infect cells is very important. Several studies have been published in recent years by scientists performing genetic modification on the SARS coronavirus and others, and even creating a chimera virus - containing genes from multiple viruses, even from different animals. In one such study by Menachery et al. (2015), genes from a bat coronavirus spike protein were added to a mouse coronavirus genome and tested for its ability to infect human airway cells through their ACE-2 receptors. The man-made virus was tested in mice AND HUMANS with significant infections occurring. The study concluded that there was "a significant risk of a SARS coronavirus re-emergence". The fact that scientists are deliberately manipulating (ie, "playing with") the genetics of deadly viruses, and testing them for their ability to cause human disease, is a major concern.

This study included a Chinese Virologist, Shi Zhengli (or Zheng-Li Shi), who just happens to be the team leader of the researchers in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a BSL-4 biowarfare lab where this study was conducted, just a few miles from the alleged epicentre of the pandemic in the Wuhan seafood market... And the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US government agency.

The Chinese virologist and world expert on bat coronaviruses, Shi Zhengli, has been a part of several other published studies on coronavirus research. In another study published in 2008, Shi Zhengli and colleagues created new chimera coronavirus by "inserting different genetic sequences of the SARS coronavirus into different animal coronaviruses", to investigate how well the man-made virus could infect the ACE-2 receptors of human and animal cells (Ren et al., 2008). They found that the chimeric virus initially didn't infect human cells, so the scientists then combined a human HIV virus with it, which then DID enable it to infect human cells. Their work was to deliberately get the genetically modified virus to infect human cells. The authors wrote that this was the first time that a virus was proven to cross over from animals into humans - but was only done through deliberate genetic modification in a lab (in Wuhan).

The above studies compared a bat coronavirus to the new virus, and found a high genetic similarity of up to 96% (Xiao and Xiao, 2020), but more importantly are the differences. The bat coronavirus lacks the furin binding site, and lacks the huge gene insertion that is responsible for its infective ability in humans. According to testimonies by local Wuhan residents and those who frequented the seafood market, the bats which were found to host the bat coronavirus lived 900 kilometres away in caves, and bat was NOT traded or ever a food source in the Wuhan market (Xiao and Xiao, 2020).

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have an online tool called BLAST (NIH, 2020) for logging, comparing and researching the genetic code of organisms. After my earlier research articles on the coronavirus topic when I questioned the government and media narrative, a follower sent me details on how to use the BLAST tool to check on the genetic code of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus for similarities with the genetic code of other viruses. Using the BLAST tool, it reported 4 similar gene sequences in the coronavirus that matched other viruses - or more accurately, 4 matching gene sequences from 1 other virus. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV type 1.

See the BLAST results in the figure above.

Two of the 4 HIV sequences in the SARS-CoV-2 virus code matched 100%, one matched at 94%, and another at 79%, still being very significant. See screenshot for results. This finding does seem to confirm the finding in the original study by Pradhan and colleagues (2020), and confirm the study by Ren, Shi Zhengli and colleagues that they inserted HIV genes into a genetically-modified SARS virus to increase its ability to infect human cells. Somehow, somewhere and by someone, accidently or deliberately we cannot determine at this time, this genetically-modified lab-made chimeric virus escaped into the wild to infect humans. It is almost beyond any possibility that the current coronavirus was a natural mutation and animal crossover event.

Is there evidence of knowledge and technology for scientists to CREATE a virus - YES.

Is there evidence of the SARS and other animal coronaviruses being genetically modified - YES.

Is there evidence of deliberate experimentation of coronaviruses to increase their ability to infect human cells - YES.

Is there evidence of the HIV virus being used in coronavirus experiments and being found in people infected with coronavirus - YES.

Is there evidence that the coronavirus was the result of a natural mutation and crossover into humans - based on these studies and evidence, it is highly unlikely at best. I'd say NO.

Based on the evidence here, this would lead to an uncomfortable conclusion that the coronavirus is not a natural mutation of any known coronavirus strain, but in fact a man-made strain. And if it is indeed man-made, as it appears, then more uncomfortable questions need to be asked - was it released accidentally or deliberately, by whom, and for what purposes?

There have been a lot of theories labelled as "conspiracies" in this pandemic. As more evidence is found, more of those conspiracies are becoming fact.
If the virus is man-made, then anything which comes afterwards, in the form of new laws, restrictions, recommendations and mandates, must seriously be questioned and stopped.

An independent worldwide and open investigation MUST be conducted NOW to find out who is responsible for this pandemic - how the man-made coronavirus escaped from a lab, why, and for what or whose benefit. This cannot be conducted by the WHO, UN, CDC, FDA or other government or world health agencies as they are already suspiciously involved in this pandemic or involved in the suppression of scientific studies or educated voices who have questioned their actions (or lack thereof) in recent times.
Also, the genetic modification of all infective viruses and bacteria MUST STOP NOW. These dangerous practices cannot be allowed to happen again.

Open letter to all Australian Health Ministers, Health Departments, Doctors, Politicians and Health Regulators, re: coronavirus prevention and containment

I am a Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, based in Brisbane and with many years of experience in treating acute and chronic health conditions. I am an evidence-based practitioner, using only proven therapies and treatments for my clients. I specialise in inflammatory and immune system related conditions.

Regarding the current coronavirus infection spreading around the world and Australia (confirmed as a Pandemic by the World Health Organisation), I have been following the statistics and government advice, and I would like to share my thoughts, based on evidence and clinical experience.
​
Regardless of how the coronavirus came to be, the following facts are relevant:

• SARS-CoV-2 is the official virus name, and the infection itself is COVID-19, as designated by the WHO, herein referred to as “coronavirus”
• The coronavirus causes a respiratory infection, allegedly transmitted via aerosol droplets, mucus secretions and infected fomites (objects touched by those infected with this virus)
• The TGA have recently published announcements to all health practitioners to not recommend any treatments or products that claim to prevent or treat this coronavirus, unless there is proven evidence of their effectiveness against this specific virus
• With this virus being so new, there was NO evidence of anything, pharmaceutical or natural as being proven effective at the time of the TGA announcement
• The virus appears to survive much longer than other viruses out of the body on surfaces
• Improved hygiene practices such as washing of hands, coughing into the crook of one’s elbow, and self-isolation have been proven in the past to be effective in reducing the risks of other respiratory infections
• There are no published studies showing the effectiveness of handwashing or improved hygiene against this specific coronavirus. I’m not saying that this should not be done, as past published evidence and anecdotal evidence (from observations, not clinical studies) shows handwashing can reduce transmission risks
• But the TGA and health departments have only been recommending handwashing, sanitising, social distancing (a totally new concept), and other hygiene practices as preventions or to reduce the risks of this coronavirus, despite a lack of evidence
• There are many other preventative and treatment strategies and products which have similarly been proven to be effective in the past against all other known coronaviruses (which cause the common cold infections, and previous pandemic viruses of SARS and MERS), but according to the new TGA guidelines, these preventions or treatments cannot be recommended by any health practitioners because there is “no current evidence”. All health practitioners in Australia are effectively "gagged" and cannot make any recommendations to prevent infections or save the lives of our fellow Australians.

I will summarise some statistics of the pandemic, and bring to light some new and missing evidence, and proven recommendations for further reducing the risks of this new virus. Or you can jump to the Conclusions for a brief summary!
 
Statistics

Some statistics on the current coronavirus infection include (as at 28th March 2020):
Country                          Coronavirus Mortality Rate

Australia                         0.39%
USA                                   3.0%
China                                3.9%
Italy                                  10.10%

Conclusion: the Italian Government, like Australia, is classifying deaths by many causes as from COVID-19 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b). Italy also has demographic, cultural and other factors contributing to a higher incidence and mortality rate (Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, 2020). There is a significant difference in mortality rates in different countries, or more accurately, by location.
There are many other major causes of daily deaths in the world, compared to the coronavirus:
Reason                                 Daily Deaths

Hunger                                 2,500 (UN, Food and Agriculture Organization)
Malaria                                 2,739 (UNICEF)
AIDS                                      2,100 (HIV.gov)
Influenza                             795 - 1,781 (CDC/WHO)
Coronavirus/COVID-19     270 (as at 11/3/2020), now approx 2000

Total deaths per day         144,000 (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, 2010)

Conclusion: we cannot believe the "official" death rates, when the Australian government and health departments from WHO recommendations, classifies any death as a "COVID-19" death even if someone were to die from a chronic health condition (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b).

These are additional statistics I have analysed (as at 28th March 2020):
Number coronavirus incidences by location/hemisphere
Coronavirus                  Northern            Southern            Equatorial   
incidences                     Hemisphere       Hemisphere       Region
 
No. countries affected         133                        48                        16
Incidences confirmed          96.8%                   1.4%                    1.8%
Deaths confirmed                 98.8%                   0.22%                  1.0%

Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths between those who live in the northern hemisphere vs southern.

Or a different analysis of the Australian mortality rate (as at 30th March 2020) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020):
Australian Population                                     25,464,116
Coronavirus incidences                                  4,460
Coronavirus deaths                                         19
Coronavirus incidences (% population)      0.000175%
Coronavirus deaths (% population)             0.000000746%

Conclusion: Is this really worth shutting the country down for?
 
 
What is significant about the northern hemisphere as a factor of the coronavirus?
It is typical to see many more respiratory infections in winter than summer. Transmission rates and incidences of the common cold, influenza and pneumonia are greatly increased in the cooler months. The infection started in China, in their winter, and spread much more quickly through northern hemisphere countries in their cooler months of winter and early spring. There are several reasons for this difference in seasonal activity in respiratory infections:

1. Humidity and temperature – the warmer months are generally more humid, especially in more tropical areas. Humidity appears to slow rates of infection transmission by causing infected droplets from coughing or sneezing to fall to the ground instead of floating more in the air and being transmitted to infect people nearby. In the MERS coronavirus outbreak, studies showed a higher temperature and humidity resulted in significantly less lower respiratory tract infections of 45% (Fagbo et al., 2017)
2. Latitude – Where one lives on the planet, especially their latitude or distance from the equator, determines their Ultra-Violet (UV) light exposure in a given period. People in cities closer to the equator are exposed to more UV-B light on their skin. Direct UV-B radiation on exposed skin is needed to make vitamin D. People living much further away from the equator need more time in direct sunlight to make the same amount of vitamin D (Leary et l. 2017; van der Mei, 2007; Tamerius et al., 2011)
3. Vitamin D deficiency – vitamin D acts as an anti-inflammatory hormone in the body, and regulates the expression of many genes to have a major systemic benefit to one’s health. Vitamin D isn’t just needed for bone health, but assists the immune system, reduces the rates of viral respiratory infections and influenza, reduces lung conditions like asthma, and can even reduce the risks of many cancers (Hossein-Nezhad & Holick, 2014; Martineau et al., 2017). Vitamin D can also offer antiviral and antibacterial actions as well as stimulating the innate immune system (which identifies and deals with unknown or new infections) (Martineau et al., 2017). Vitamin D deficiency can occur in any season, even in sunny Queensland in summer! (Leary et l. 2017). Vitamin D deficiency, especially in winter, can be a major cause of respiratory infections (Fagbo et al., 2017) and in this study, a vitamin D deficiency amongst a large percentage of the population (which occurs in winter) is the cause of influenza respiratory infection epidemics (Cannell et al., 2008).

There are other factors for the seasonal causes of influenza infections, including temperature, other concomitant infections, other nutrient deficiencies (selenium, vitamin E) (Tamerius et al., 2011), and more. There are other environmental and cultural factors which contribute to the differences in mortality rates between many countries, such as smoking status, air pollution, sleep quality and quantity and others.

The fact that Australia is now entering the cooler months highlights the importance of reducing the risks of respiratory infections using vitamin D supplementation interventions.
 
Virus Transmission and Severity, and the Germ Theory
The transmission of a virus, its severity, and the rate of incidences and mortality depend entirely on the strength and function of each individual person's immune system. This is confirmed with the majority of people with the coronavirus having very mild symptoms. It is only when someone is immune compromised or with a chronic health condition which has reduced their immune system function, that the infection to take hold in their body more quickly and severely. Having a compromised or immune system, perhaps together with ineffectual medical treatments (or no treatments) any virus is going to cause more severe complications like pneumonia.

The transmission, severity, incidences and mortality are not dependent on the coronavirus at all. This is old 1800s germ theory "science". Yet the health officials and media are blaming the virus and trying to stop the virus itself, which is futile and prolongs the pandemic. Washing hands, regular hygiene and isolation are not enough! In conjunction with improved hygiene, prevention and treatments should also focus on the individual, by supporting one's immune system to protect them for prevention, or to fight off the infection better.

The old Germ Theory promoted by Koch and Pasteur no longer applies as not everyone who is exposed to a virus actually develops symptoms or has the infection. This breaks Koch's famous postulates of the germ theory (MedicineNet, 2019), which states that a pathogen must cause the disease in EVERY case of exposure, which doesn't happen. Some more recent experiments have been conducted and results published, after deliberately infecting individuals with a flu virus - even with a strain that was similar to the one which allegedly caused huge mortality rates in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. In this study, researchers found less than 40% of those who inhaled the virus actually developed symptoms! And of those who did develop symptoms, they were very mild to mild, and none had any serious symptoms at all (Cannell et al., 2008).
 
Evidence-based preventative (and treatment) strategies which should be recommended:

• Vitamin D - Vitamin D supplementation can reduce risk of infections by reducing inflammation, reducing viral replication rates, reducing age-related morbidity, Vitamin D supplementation during winter has been shown to support immune system function and reduce the incidence of influenza A by approximately one third (Urashima, Segawa, Okazaki, Kurihara, Wada, & Ida, 2010). A very recent study by Grant et al (2020) found evidence that vitamin D supplementation could reduce the risk of influenza and COVID-19 infections and deaths, but required a higher therapeutic dose than the low recommended daily intakes.
• Vitamin C – In early studies, a vitamin C deficiency is associated with pneumonia (an often deadly complication of a COVID-19 infection). Vitamin C deficiency is also associated with a reduced immune system function and increases susceptibility to respiratory infections, and vice versa, with infections causing a decrease in vitamin C concentrations (Hemilä, 2017).  Several studies are currently underway in China using vitamin C interventions, with results still to be published.
• Zinc - is deficient in 49% of adults in the coronavirus risk age group of 51-70 (Boudrealt et al. 2017),  and in people who are frequently exposed to stress. Zinc is needed for good immune system support, as well as reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and improving the immune system response against viruses (Wessels, Maywald, & Rink, 2017). A zinc deficiency is often seen in those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and contributes to lung injury from the use of a respirator (Boudrealt et al. 2017).
• Keeping up good water intake – water is needed to keep mucous membranes moist as they act as a protective barrier against viruses in the respiratory tract (Chen, 2009)
• Eating a good variety of quality foods – your food provides nutrients needed for immune systems function. Nutrient deficiencies reduce immune system function and increase susceptibility to infections.
• Reducing intake of refined and processed carbohydrate foods - in a recently published study from China, patients with COVID-19 who had poorly managed blood sugar levels and Type 2 Diabetes were at much higher risk of increased incidence, more severe symptoms, and a higher mortality rate. High blood sugar increases inflammation and blood pressure, but reduces immune system function, whereas a well-controlled blood sugar level improved the outcomes of those with COVID-19 and pre-existing diabetes (Zhu et al., 2020). Type 2 Diabetes develops over time from a diet high in carbohydrate-rich foods (>60% of total daily energy from poor food choices), causes insulin resistance, insulin depletion from pancreatic insufficiency, obesity, and cardiovascular and heart disease, being the highest risk factors for incidence and mortality of COVID-19 (Frost, 2003).
• Getting sufficient and quality sleep - as sleep is needed to maintain good function of the immune system Studies show reduced sleep reduces immune system function and increases susceptibility to respiratory infections (Prather, Janicki-Deverts, Hall & Cohen, 2015)
• Moderate and regular exercise - a moderate exercise program can improve immune system function and reduce the risk of infections, but intensive training seen with athletes can have the opposite effects (Jones & Davison, 2019).

These recommendations and interventions are cheap, very easy to recommend and implement, and will have a very quick response. They can also reduce the strain on the hospital system by reducing infection rates and severity of symptoms, or in the case of those already having severe symptoms in hospital, these interventions can shorten the severity of symptoms and save lives.

I started recommending these preventative treatments back in January when news of the infection emerged. At the time there was no TGA ban on such advice.
 
The TGA and Expert Recommendations
The scientifically referenced and relevant recommendations in this document have been proven in the past to be safe and effective against many respiratory infections such as influenza and other types of coronavirus. New evidence has been published recently on these preventions and treatments, yet these recommendations are not approved by the TGA, and one must really ask why?

I see the TGA's guidelines of effectively banning all Australian health practitioners (medical and alternative/complementary) from giving any preventative or treatment advice, as being overly cautious. Yes there was little to no evidence for anything (either medical, pharmaceutical or natural) being effective as a preventative or treatment against this particular coronavirus at the time of their guidelines being announced. However, in times of something new like this novel coronavirus, past evidence and anecdotal evidence MUST be seen as the highest form of scientific evidence available. To restrict or ignore past evidence and anecdotal evidence is immoral, and will likely cause many more people to lose their lives in this virus outbreak, as well as prolong the outbreak, disrupt many businesses and perhaps cause the collapse of many companies, threaten the livelihoods of many workers and especially the casual workforce, affect the economy and stock markets, reduce investments, cause further desperation and panic amongst the public, cause social unrest, and more.

There have been a lot of new published studies since the TGA guidelines were announced, giving more clues as to what are some of the causative factors for increased risk of a COVID-19 infection, and for suitable preventions and even treatments. The TGA guidelines now must be updated to reflect this new evidence, and allow health practitioners to give additional preventative strategies and treatment options and further 'flatten the curve" for all Australians.

We have next to nothing to lose by implementing these preventative strategies, but there is so much to lose if we do not.
 
COVID-19 PCR Testing
The current PCR pathology test for COVID-19 is highly inaccurate. The PCR process was developed to increase the amount of a subset of the genetic code of a virus DNA (Ghannam & Varacallo, 2018). The inventor of the PCR process has publicly said it should not be used for pathology testing, based on studies showing it is inaccurate as PCR testing is not standardised with different labs or countries use different variations of the test (Teo & Shaunak, 1995), is not designed to give a definitive binary result of a "positive" or "negative" confirmation, is affected by contamination that can produce misleading results (Ghannam & Varacallo, 2018), is not consistently reproducible and gives a high percentage of false positive and false negative results that were observed in all laboratories (Defer et al., 1992; Zhuang et al., 2020). Even the World Health Organisation's PCR Working Group demonstrated high levels of false-positive and false-negative results (World Health Organisation, 2011).

In addition, limiting testing of the coronavirus to only people who meet a set criteria is skewing the rates of incidences. Hence the rates of incidences are not accurate and cannot be believed, yet the government and health authorities are making significant changes to laws to restrict rights and freedoms based on inaccurate statistics of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as an inaccurate test used to determine those statistics, and more recently the COVIDSafe app that is also reliant on accurate PCR testing!

We can't actually believe any of the "official" statistics of incidences or mortality rates of this pandemic when:

1. The PCR test is inaccurate, as explained here, and
2. The WHO and governments (including Australia) are recommending deaths from chronic health conditions and all respiratory infections (flu or pneumonia), to be caused by COVID-19, whether the patient was tested by a faulty PCR test or just ASSUMED to be having the virus (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b).

Thus inflating the true incidence rates and the mortality rates, which then gets turned into a fear campaign by the media, and knee-jerk reactions by state and federal governments to implement a raft of laws to restrict our rights and freedoms as well as wrecking the economy and many businesses, all for a generally mild infection for most people.

Instead, consider using faecal testing, as the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been detected in stool samples (Warish et al., 2020).
 
Flu vaccinations during the coronavirus pandemic
The Federal and state governments of Australia have been adding new laws to mandate flu vaccinations for healthcare workers or for the public to visit relatives in aged care, or even for general work. I believe that this decision is irresponsible, is not based on scientific evidence and can actually increase the risks of someone getting the coronavirus. The flu vaccine does not prevent or reduce the risks of getting the coronavirus infection - it's a different type of virus. Several published studies, however, have found that flu vaccinations can cause a phenomenon called "vaccine-associated virus interference"; that is, recently vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory virus infections, especially coronaviruses (Wolff, 2020). This study, on military personnel found a 36% increase in coronavirus infection risk after a flu vaccine (Wolff, 2020).

Another study by Cowling and colleagues (2012), found those who had the flu vaccine, who had no other respiratory viruses beforehand, over a follow-up period of 9 months had a significantly increased risk of confirmed non-influenza respiratory virus infections compared to a placebo group. The study also found no significant reduction in confirmed flu infections in the test group (those who had the vaccine), meaning that the flu vaccine was ineffective.
 
Herd immunity
Herd immunity has been discussed by some experts and being used as a strategy by some countries such as Sweden and Japan. Herd immunity is a theoretical belief that if sufficient numbers of people are immune to in infection (the "herd"), the spread of the infection could be reduced or stopped, thus protecting those who are not immune to the infection.

The theoretical percentage of the population who need to be immune to an infection has been increased over time from 50% to 80% to 90% to 95%, depending on the infection. The estimate has increased as outbreaks were still occurring in populations which had reached the previous "herd immunity" levels through vaccinations for many infectious diseases. Outbreaks still occur in populations with 100% vaccine coverage. Hence vaccination programs are not working.

The NHMRC have published a suggested herd immunity rate for the coronavirus in Australia of 61% (MacIntyre, 2020), based on the rate of transmission, in turn based on a faulty test as described above.

Unfortunately, health officials have confused herd immunity with "natural immunity" from contracting an infection, and "vaccinated immunity" from vaccinations. They are very two different concepts. Herd immunity never occurs from vaccinations for several reasons:

1. Vaccines only give short-term temporary "immunity" from 6 months (in most flu vaccines) to just a few years for most others. Vaccine-induced immunity is significantly reduced at 5 years after initial whooping cough vaccination and 2x boosters (Lavine, Bjørnstad, de Blasio, Storsaeterf, 2012), and other studies show the same for other vaccines
2. Not everyone who gets a vaccine develops immunity. This is why boosters or multiple shots are needed, to try and force immunity a second or third time (or more) in those who did not achieve immunity from previous shots. Seroconversion rates (ie, immunity developed via antibodies) can be as low as 16% effectiveness in the annual flu vaccines for some age groups (Sequirus, 2018) , hence in most vaccines, many people do not develop immunity
3. With 75.2% of the Australian population being adults over 19 years (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020a) and assuming that most adults do not get regular boosters, when the temporary vaccine immunity wears off a couple of years afterwards, those adults are no longer immune. So there is no longer any "herd" to protect those who cannot have the vaccine; herd immunity does not exist!
4. Vaccinated women of a child-bearing age who have lost their temporary vaccine immunity cannot pass on this immunity to the foetus, in comparison to women with natural acquired immunity passing that onto the foetus via the placenta and breastfeeding (Jackson, 2006).

Herd immunity is only possible from more people being exposed to the actual infection, and developing antibodies that last a lifetime. Countries that are implementing a herd immunity strategy to combat the coronavirus allow healthy and younger people to continue their normal lives without any lockdowns or business shutdowns. Yes they may contract the infection but without chronic health conditions they are likely to develop only mild or even no symptoms. But they will develop immunity, will shorten this pandemic as the virus will die out, and will increase the level of true natural herd immunity that will protect others.

Those at risk of the virus with chronic health conditions should be recommended to continue to isolate themselves, but those who are young and healthy should be allowed to leave their homes, travel, and resume normal daily activities.

Herd immunity is never achieved from vaccination programs. In fact, the population loses more herd immunity as more people are vaccinated.
 
Recommendations:
For the prevention of coronavirus infections, reducing transmission rates, reducing duration and severity of symptoms, and other benefits, I recommend the State and Federal governments and their respective Health Departments undertake the following:

• Increase social media marketing and traditional media coverage of better preventative strategies – more than just washing your hands and improved hygiene practices
• Include recommending preventative strategies that are evidence-based, and have previously been shown effective against respiratory infections, viruses in general and/or other coronavirus strains:
  • Vitamin D – at least 1200IU per day, and safe sun exposure regularly. A study by Grant et al. (2020) recommended a higher dose of 10,000IU per day for a few weeks, followed by 5,000IU per day to get vitamin D levels in the range of 100-150nmol/L for the best benefit of prevention, and a higher dose for treatment
  • Vitamin C – at least 1000mg per day for children, and up to 6-8g per day for adults. A Cochrane systematic review of placebo-controlled trials found that children taking 1-2g (1000-2000mg) vitamin C daily shortened the duration of a common cold infection (a type of coronavirus) by 18% and reduced their severity. In adults the results were smaller (Hemilä & Chalker, 2013).  Best results for reducing respiratory infection duration and symptoms, including preventing pneumonia (a major complication in COVID-19 infections), requires a higher therapeutic dose of up to 6-8gm per day for adults (Hemilä, 2017).  
  • Zinc – 20-30mg per day for adults, and age/weight equivalent for children
  • Other nutritional advice – eating a healthy diet for a variety of nutrients
  • Reducing foods that cause high blood sugar levels - such as sugary foods and drinks, grain-based products, and dairy foods
  • Drinking sufficient water - to keep mucous membranes moist and prevent viral infections, and even using saline nasal sprays if required
  • Getting good quality and quantity sleep - of 7-8 hours per night
  • Moderate exercise.
• Recommend cautions on using or self-prescribing anti-inflammatory medications such as Aspirin, NSAIDs, and others during a coronavirus infection. Studies have shown that the 1918 Spanish flu did not cause the high number of deaths, but from bacterial pneumonia (National Institutes of Health, 2008)) in conjunction with a new medication at that time - Aspirin, which was prescribed in too high a dose and it affected lung function in those who took it (Starko, 2009). NSAIDs and other anti-inflammatory medications suppress the immune system responses to an infection, leading to more severe symptoms, a longer duration of illness and higher risks of serious complications and deaths (Basille, Plouvier, Trouve, Duhaut, Andrejak, & Jounieaux, 2017).

 
Conclusion
The novel coronavirus pandemic is nothing like what we have seen before.  Hence novel strategies must be implemented to deal with it. Banning recommendations of previously-proven prevention and treatment strategies is immoral when there are many lives at stake.

There are many factors which influence your individual risk for contracting this infection, most of which are environmental. There are also cultural and geographic factors which can significantly increase your risk, which we see in the referenced studies here.

Incidences of respiratory infections (from colds, flu, pneumonia, asthma, and the new coronavirus) can be reduced with preventative vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, and other natural interventions, and these should be recommended.

The reported statistics of incidences and mortality are highly inflated due to inaccurate PCR testing, and manipulative recording of deaths to blame the cause on COVID-19. Then these inaccurate statistics are used by governments to implement knee-jerk reactive legislation that destroys lives in many other ways with failed businesses, investments, jobs, and the economy.

A natural "herd immunity" strategy should be implemented to combat the virus, by allowing those who are fit and healthy to resume normal lives, travels and work. Those at risk with chronic health conditions should continue to isolate themselves while also working on improving their immune systems as detailed above. This way, we have a chance of achieving the herd immunity rate of 61% which can slow down the true rate of incidences and mortality, and bring this pandemic to an end quickly.

Please consider the abovementioned simple, cheap, and readily-available preventative and treatment recommendations in the overall prevention and treatment plans for the coronavirus pandemic. All of this evidence (and more) is available in peer-reviewed medical journals. Clinical Nutritionists and Naturopaths like myself have been using and recommending these preventions and treatments for all manner of viral infections with great success in the past, and they should be considered based on past evidence of safety and effectiveness against this coronavirus. As the medical system has no effective strategies or proven medications for this specific infection, it makes sense to use existing therapies such as the above. If not, in the reviews and inquiries after this pandemic, the public will be wondering why these simple and effective therapies were not allowed, or not tried, and why more peoples' lives could not be saved.

Thank you for your consideration.

An unlikely organisation has emerged from the coronavirus pandemic fires of doom, which the media have been feverishly stoking about the current outbreak, in an attempt to be the hero and saviour of us all. Are they really going to save us, or  what might their real intentions be?

I'm talking about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, started by Bill Gates, the founder of the Microsoft Corporation, but of late he has mostly been working through his family foundation as an apparent philanthropist. The foundation aims to “ensure that more young people survive and thrive”, by being able to “access quality healthcare and education”.  In reality the major aim and funding of the foundation is for the prevention of common infectious diseases through drugs and vaccinations.

Sorry this is long, but there's a LOT of evidence of too many coincidences and pre-planned projects in place leading to this pandemic and this current situation that we are all in.
​
The trouble is that the foundation may not be as as innocent or as generous as they try to portray. The reasons for this are as follows:

• The World Health Organisation (WHO) used to receive all their funding for health programs from the governments of the world. Now they also allow private "donations" from organisations such as the Gates Foundation, which are actually one of the largest sponsors of the WHO, second only to the US government. Such large donations, especially from a private organisation, carry a lot of political weight, or in other words "favours" or influence over decisions and outcomes. A published study in 2015 specifically mentioned the Gates Foundation as having a huge influence over world governments in their decision-making. The study suggests that "big philanthropy" is actually good for the donor's business, and warns world governments and large organisations that such philanthropy can overly influence political decisions and needs to be analysed for risks and side effects on the development or decisions of these countries and organisations. Details of this study is here: https://www.globalpolicy.org/images/pdfs/GPFEurope/Philanthropic_Power_online.pdf
• The Gates Foundation also has major shareholdings in many pharmaceutical companies, after investing many hundreds of millions of dollars with them. The purpose of this, of course, is to make money from the increasing share price and dividends paid out on the shares owned. There’s nothing wrong with making money, but given the rest of the points here, it starts to get a little suspicious.
• Bill has been hinting or warning several times in recent years about a worldwide pandemic which will kill a large percentage of the population (he has estimated about 30 million people will die in a pandemic). Even as recently as 2017 and 2018, Gates was giving speeches to large audiences and warning world leaders, medical professionals and scientists that we need to be prepared for pandemics and bioterror attacks. He said “because history has taught us there will be another deadly global pandemic". No, history only tells us what happened in the past! It was like he KNEW a pandemic was about to happen! He also said "And, as biological weapons of mass destruction become easier to create in the lab, there is an increasing risk of a bioterror attack". Well, that's what you get when you give your Foundation's money to BSL-4 biowarfare labs for research, Bill! Here's a website link of his which  details a speech he gave (which includes the above quote) on this issue in full: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/Shattuck-Lecture
• Again in 2019, Bill Gates featured in and produced a Netflix documentary series called "Explained", and in an episode called "The Next Pandemic", he said in an interview that he predicted a coronavirus-style pandemic which would kill millions of people. He even warned of such a virus coming from a "wet market" (a market selling fresh meat, fish or produce, often associated with live animals) in China! He said it would take years to find a cure for a new virus outbreak. Just months later, it happened - is Bill psychic too?! Details of the documentary featuring Bill Gates and his prediction can be found here: https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/31/bill-gates-predicted-coronavirus-type-pandemic-kill-millions-2019-netflix-documentary-12159314/

• On October 18th, 2019, a high-level pandemic planning exercise called "Event 201" was hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum, to plan for a global viral pandemic. By pure coincidence (again!) this meeting was simulating a pandemic caused by a new coronavirus outbreak! None other than the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation were a major sponsor of this event. Just 6 weeks after this planning event the first known cases of a new coronavirus started appearing in Wuhan, China. Coincidence?! The odds would be nearly impossible for this to happen... In an official John Hopkins University press release (on Nov 6, 2019), the coronavirus pandemic simulation estimated a death toll of 65 million people within 18 months. Various social media "fact-checking" (ie "censorship") has confirmed that this Event 201 took place, but they have been denying that the simulation actually predicted the number of deaths. However, information from the University shows that they actually DID include predictions of death rates of approximately 65 million people, and their predictions can be read here: https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/11/06/event-201-health-security/
• In 2015, the Pirbright Institute, a biotechnology research organisation in the UK, filed a patent for a live attenuated coronavirus to be used in the production of coronavirus vaccines. The Pirbright Institute is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Very recently (in November 2019, just before the coronavirus outbreak and another coincidence?!) the institute received $5.5 million dollars (their largest funding donation) from the Gates Foundation for research into human diseases and vaccine development. Details here: https://www.pirbright.ac.uk/news/2019/11/bill-melinda-gates-foundation-funds-development-pirbright%E2%80%99s-livestock-antibody-hub
• Another type of coronavirus was responsible for the SARS pandemic in 2002. Luckily this one fizzled out with only 800 deaths. In the aftermath of this infection, many institutions and research organisations rushed to patent the SARS virus and its genetic sequence. This was apparently to prevent other scientists from working on the virus. Natural things and organisms are not meant to be patented, as patents are supposed to be for inventions or futuristic ideas. The Gates Foundation funded Pirbright Institute owns the SARS coronavirus patent. And this patent expired the day before the first case of the new SARS-CoV-2 infection was announced.
• The Gates Foundation have funded another vaccine research and drug production company, called Moderna. Within a few weeks of the coronavirus outbreak starting, Moderna was apparently ready for human testing of their coronavirus vaccine! The timing of this is unheard of, being a world record by several orders of magnitude over past vaccine development times. It’s almost as if they already had a vaccine ready and waiting! Moderna announced on 25th February 2020 (just a few weeks after the outbreak became known), that they have not only created a coronavirus vaccine in record time, but have tested it on animals, and now is ready for human testing. This process normally takes many months to years to get to this stage. No vaccine company managed to develop a vaccine for the SARS or MERS coronavirus outbreaks in 2003 or 2013 respectively, or since, so how could Moderna do this within days?! What about all the other communicable diseases for which there is no vaccine for, such as malaria, the common cold, and HIV? If this company can somehow create a new vaccine and have it ready in weeks, then why haven’t they done the same for other infections? Had they already been working on this one for some time, as planned?  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-vaccine-moderna-human-testing/?fbclid=IwAR27_MQ7ySGwnWPg4HCpBLCznt4vbgbh8yn8ALhhZ8CCvWPJ_pML7DlyQHg#
• The Gates Foundation also very recently funded another pharmaceutical company (Inovio Pharmaceuticals) with $5 million for work on a portable "drug delivery device" for a DNA-based coronavirus vaccine. What is a DNA-based vaccine? No idea, but we will find out shortly, as the company is starting human trials in April 2020. Details here: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/biotech/story/2020-03-12/inovio-pharm-gets-5m-from-gates-foundation-to-further-covid-19-vaccine-project
• Bill has said publicly several times in interviews or presentations that the world population is too high, and needs to be reduced. In a 2010 TEDx talk he said, ”The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent”. A segment of his public talk when he said this statement is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNmj6Ug-a4A. Some people have said that his words have been taken out of context, and that he was talking about reducing population growth, rather than reducing the actual population. But note that was not what he said in this video.
• It is interesting that Bill Gates and his Foundation are huge promoters of vaccines to developing countries. I personally think people in these countries preferentially need 1) improved nutrition, 2) clean water, and 3) better sanitation and modern utilities such as electricity and waste processing (ie sewerage systems) to reduce infections, illnesses and deaths. But not the Gates Foundation, as their priority is just vaccines for population control. It was these 3 improvements to our lives that massively slowed the incidences and deaths from infections, decades before vaccines were made available.
• On 28th February, 2020, Bill Gates actually had an article published in the New England Medical Journal, one of the major scientific and medical journals! In his article, he was talking about the coronavirus, which he again referred to as the "once-in-a-century" pandemic, to urge governments to help poorer countries in this outbreak, and to fund vaccines and treatments, and strengthen their healthcare. Where will a lot of this government (ie, taxpayer) funding go to - to companies funded by  the Gates Foundation! Details of his published article is found here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2003762
• On 29th February 2020 (one day after the last point), Bill Gates announced to the world that the coronavirus IS a pandemic and should be announced as such, over a week before the WHO officially did announce the pandemic. In his announcement, he claims that the coronavirus is a "once-in-a-century pathogen" which may kill up to 50 million people. Bill was generously offering solutions to the pandemic through his Foundation – obviously, as he appears to have planned well for such a situation! Of course one of his solutions is a fast-tracked vaccine, using techniques from one of the companies his Foundation has funded, that apparently make it possible to produce vaccines within weeks. Never mind the testing process which is supposed to take years before they can be made available to the public. Bill’s pre-emptive announcement that this is a pandemic is found here: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/bill-gates-coronavirus-pandemic-solutions-2020-2?r=US&IR=T
• Microsoft, with Bill Gates still on the board of directors at the time (in January 2018)  were a founding partner of a summit named ID2020. This summit was held at the United Nations, and attended by and formed alliances between governments, the UN, non-government organisations and private companies. This event's objectives are to "improve lives through digital identity", and "accelerating access to digital ID... to vulnerable populations", and more. Their manifesto lists a number of points, one being "the ability to prove one's identity is a fundamental and universal right". No, the right to privacy, and being free to roam and not being tracked 24/7 is a fundamental and universal human right. Microsoft have pledged financial and technology resources to this project. Details of the ID2020 Summit and its purpose can be found here: https://id2020.org/manifesto and here: https://www.teleinfotoday.com/enterprise-it/digital-transformation/accenture-microsoft-create-blockchain-solution-to-support-id2020
• In a recent interview (24th March 2020) with Chris Anderson (the Curator of TED Talks), Bill suggested that there should be a system of "certificates" that people will need to carry around to show who has recovered from the COVID-19 infection, and who is vaccinated (when the COVID-19 vaccine is made available), as he doesn't want people moving around the world who haven't been vaccinated for this infection. This is sounding like restrictions of movement or travel, unless you have been vaccinated and have identification papers to prove it - much like everyone having to carry ID papers with them at all times in Nazi Germany. France is using such movement certificates now for people to be able to leave their houses. However the "certificates" being considered by Bill are in a digital form, of either a microchip being inserted under the skin, or a "quantum-dot tattoo". A segment of this interview can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGsqtF0MhlI&fbclid=IwAR2cLpYvlYHCXfFYEaROYb0qRlOpRotjIRCAibjY-v1cr6vt8j36QnJIyG0
• The Gates Foundation have also funded a project with MIT in December 2019, to develop a digital form of vaccination certificate, by storing data in encapsulated microparticles stored under the skin. These particles are injected at the same time as the vaccine using a microneedle patch, rather than a typical needle and syringe. More details about this technology, a related published study, and the Gates Foundation funding of it can be found here: http://news.mit.edu/2019/storing-vaccine-history-skin-1218
• In an interview with CBS on 2nd April 2020, Bill was giving advice on health policy and strategies on the current pandemic. He was also giving estimates of how long this issue will last. Again he was promoting his vaccine companies and vaccines being the key to stopping this pandemic, before we can go back to our normal lives. Note the hint that you may not be able to go back to your normal life without a vaccine (and a fast-tracked vaccine which won't go through all the usual tests for safety). As he is not a doctor or health expert, he should not be interviewed or having a say on this topic, because of all of his conflcts of interest here. He did also suggest that there could be more pandemics in the future. His interview can be viewed here: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/extended-interview-bill-gates-on-coronavirus-pandemic/
• In a recent online Q&A session on Reddit (March 2020), Bill called for a "national tracking system similar to South Korea" to monitor people with an infection to "understand where the disease is". Again, more monitoring, tracking and control of the population. Details of this can bre read here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2020/03/18/bill-gates-calls-for-national-tracking-system-for-coronavirus-during-reddit-ama/
• On 28th March 2020, The Gates Foundation announced an alliance with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (run by Facebook Founder, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife) and Mastercard and the Wellcome charity for finding affordable treatments for COVID-19. They announced they were working together with the WHO on a "COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator" to evaluate and repurpose existing drugs for treating this infection. They claim that since these existing medications have completed clinical trials, it would make them quicker to make them more available in this pandemic. I don't think so, as these medications won't have ANY clinical trials for safety or efficacy against this specific virus, and clinical trials  will still need to be done. If they are looking for affordable and effective solutions, then why not look at natural substances like vitamin and mineral supplements, which have been proven to be safe and effective against all other viruses including other coronavirus types? But that won't make them any profits though. Details of this alliance can be read here: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/bill-gates-mark-zuckerberg-find-covid-19-treatment-coronavirus-pandemic-2020-3?r=US&IR=T
• In 2018, Bill Gates funded a US-based satellite company and together with a Japanese software company were planning to launch a $1bn network of satellites to provide "live and unfiltered" coverage of the earth. Another backer of the project said. "our objective is simple, we want to connect you visually with Earth in real-time". Services on the satellites will be able to track people and transport as it happens, watching weather systems  and migrations. The tracking of people is a particularly interesting use of this technology, when you take into account the other factors listed here. Details of this project can be read here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/04/19/bill-gates-backs-1bn-plan-cover-earth-video-surveillance-satellites/?fbclid=IwAR0_-X58VmBURKOEHevga-1cS9eM4vqVfOvzYrZS2K18m5C4wI6Cpzj6RME and here: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/25/bill-gates-backed-earthnow-will-provide-real-time-video-of-planet.html

Each point above perhaps isn't so suspicious on its own, but taken together as a whole it reeks of conflicts of interest, influence over the UN and WHO and world governments, and wanting to exert his beliefs of reducing the population, mandatory vaccinations with digital proof, and monitoring and tracking of the world's population. The timing of all of the above points is significant, with all taking place since November 2019. Everything is linked for one purpose - to create a pandemic and then benefit in every possible way from it. As the saying goes, "follow the money trail", to find out who really benefits from any situation. The money trail seems to be end up at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at every single step in this pandemic.

This is why I believe something truly stinks about the entire coronavirus situation - it's pretty clear that it is man-made, and extremely suspicious (or convenient?) that the epicentre of the outbreak was in Wuhan, China, which has a BSL-4 biowarfare lab where scientists have been developing coronavirus strains and publishing studies on this work. We could not ever believe the communist Chinese government and their "official" coronavirus statistics on incidences and mortality rates, but now that the virus is spreading around the world, we might see some slightly more realistic statistics. But can we really believe any statistics, as per my previous article on this topic?

It is also very suspicious that the man who has been warning about a viral pandemic for years is the very same person who believes that population control is needed, whose Foundation funds biotechnology research companies (who manipulate dangerous pathogens to make them more virulent), funds pharmaceutical companies, funds a company which is currently already testing a miraculously fast-tracked coronavirus vaccine, funds technology projects for tracking the global population, and who also has a huge influence with the WHO. This is a huge conflict of interest through his Foundation's massive sponsorships at every step of the way in this crisis. His pre-emptive decision to call the outbreak as a pandemic ahead of the WHO decision, was premature and way out of line, but the WHO did announce the pandemic a short time afterwards. Keep en eye on which company or companies are approved for the coronavirus vaccines - will they coincidentally be funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation? Bill Gates admits that he is a big fan of vaccines, but has also said vaccines can be used to reduce the world's population by 10-15%. Yet he wants to SAVE everyone with a coronavirus vaccine?! Is he doing all of this for altruistic humanitarian purposes? Or is he is a business-man with a dangerous and selfish agenda?

The Gates Foundation appear to have their fingers in every single pie linked to this outbreak, and their involvement in everything here is highly suspicious at best.  The Gates Foundation are trying to be the apparent knight in shining armour who will deliver alleged treatments and a miracle vaccine. At the very least, the Gates Foundation has a huge conflict of interest, but the above information also suggests to me that the Foundation is involved a lot more in this entire operation and for their own benefit.

There are too many coincidences here, and too many things having been planned and developed, just at the right time, for the COVID-19 pandemic to be anything other an a planned project.

If you put all of the above facts together, you get a fairly good picture of the intended outcome of this pandemic, and a possible look at a future with mandated vaccines, digital certificates of vaccination status, restricted movements based on vaccination status, constant monitoring and tracking of your movements, limiting informed consent, and more totalitarian measures that I dread to think about.

I'm not buying into the fear that the coronavirus will cause the predicted number of deaths that the Event 201 participants suggested. That was based on assumptions and estimates and computer modelling. I know that the virus can be defeated - that's what your immune system is for! It knows how to deal with any known or unknown infection, hence all the more reason you need to support your immune system to do its job and protect you! As there is currently no vaccine for this infection, there is no other option for you, other then to rely on your immune system! This is how humans as a species have survived for millenia without vaccines! Over 98% of people ARE surviving this infection, because of their immune systems! See my other articles on this topic for more information.

There are many more daily deaths from many other infections such as influenza, tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS, or from modern chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes,  and cancer, or simply from hunger in developing countries. Yet the media scare campaigns on this topic is disproportionate, while health departments simply say to "wash your hands" and "stay away from others", your governments tighten up laws to restrict your rights and freedoms, and social media platforms censor the truth even more.

Is Bill Gates the most unqualified, but most powerful and dangerous doctor in the world? Or is he incredibly psychic in being able to predict the pandemic and have all of his investments in place at the right time - being in the weeks before the event occurred?

See my other articles for more information on protecting yourself and your family from this rapidly-spreading infection. Washing your hands isn't going to be enough to prevent this infection. And there's more you need to do to treat it, other than isolation and staying at home.

Stay Healthy!

I have been writing a lot of articles over the past 2 months or more on your immune system, to help you improve its function and strength against the current coronavirus pandemic. I've given you multiple ways to improve your immune system through dietary, lifestyle, supplements and more. This time I am going to talk about what NOT to do!

For your immune system to work properly to protect you from all types of infections, it needs a variety of nutrients from your foods. Good digestion and gut function is important too, which will be a topic for another article in the future!

All those people who have hoarded high carbohydrate foods for the coronavirus apocalypse may not like what I am about to say!

A very recent published open letter from several doctors and specialists trained in nutritional medicine (Clemens et al., 2020) has again confirmed that diets high in carbohydrates, in particular the refined carbohydrates of sugary foods and drinks, grain-based foods (breads, bakery products, cereals, pasta etc) and alcohol (sorry!), all deplete the immune system in a couple of ways:

• Carbohydrate-rich foods are metabolised in your body into glucose, which causes an increase in blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels cause a lot of inflammation, particularly to the blood vessels, the liver, but many other organs and tissues too
• High carbohydrate foods are generally low in real nutrients, thus causing nutrient deficiencies if consumed in high amounts
• High carbohydrate diets cause an increased demand for certain nutrients needed to metabolise the sugar from the foods, such as vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, B-vitamins and more. Note that some of these I've mentioned before in my  previous articles on what you need to improve your immune system function
• People with chronic health conditions have been shown to have reduced levels of these essential nutrients. Generally, the elderly have more chronic health conditions than other age groups, meaning that they are at greater risk to infections (which is what we are seeing in this coronavirus infection)
• The higher your blood sugar level, the lower your vitamin C level, and vitamin C is blocked from entering cells when blood sugar levels are high
• Immune system cells (white blood cells) need 100 times the amount of vitamin C than other cells, so high blood glucose will reduce immune system function
• High levels of fructose (a type of sugar from fruit, fruit juices, soft drinks, grains and alcohol) significantly inhibits the activation of vitamin D (which is a massive immune system booster and infection protective compound).

In the same open letter, the specialist doctors found for previous infections such as the H1N1 flu, the biggest risk factor for a severe case of this infection was high carbohydrate intake and high blood glucose, especially in those who were diabetics.

To confirm this, other studies showed by reducing carbohydrate intake can provide protection against infections, by stimulating the immune system response (Clemens et al., 2020; Goldberg et al, 2019).

Sadly all those high carbohydrate long shelf-life foods that people have hoarded and now in short supply on the bare supermarket shelves, should be eaten at a minimum because of their negative effects on your immune system.

You need your immune system working optimally at the moment, which means eating more whole, fresh, real and preferably organic foods as much as possible. This means quality meats, vegetables , nuts and seeds, quality fats, eggs, etc and only a small amount of fruit. These foods are nutrient-dense with more real nutrients your immune system needs! Eat less of the highly processed and packaged foods, especially those high in sugar or foods that metabolise into sugar (glucose or fructose) from grain-based foods.

Stay Healthy!
