What is an mRNA vaccine, how does it work, and what are the issues with this new mRNA vaccine technology?

13/12/2020

One of the new vaccine delivery systems being used by some of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers (Pfizer and Moderna), is the "messenger RNA" or mRNA type vaccines. But what are these, how do they work, are there any issues with these technologies?
 
Messenger RNA are produced naturally in your cells. mRNA is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is created in the nucleus based on a subset of your DNA, being a particular gene. The mRNA is basically a complementary copy of a specific gene which moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm of the cell (Brody, 2020). Within the cytoplasm of a cell are ribosomes, tiny organelles which can be found floating or attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum, both being protein-making factories to make a type of protein, being copies of the mRNA or gene, for use in the body (British Society for Cell Biology, 2020; Moderna, 2020).
 
mRNA vaccines are a new technology that tries to simulate a coronavirus infection, without actually having an infection, to train the immune system cells (the white blood cells) to recognise a coronavirus infection in the in the future and to respond more quickly to the infection. The mRNA in the vaccine is injected into the body, somehow gets into cells, which trains the cells to produce a piece of protein which matches the "spike protein" on the surface of the coronavirus, which the cells release and this stimulates an immune system response and trains the immune system to recognise and destroy the virus in a future infection (Pfizer, 2020). Allegedly.
 
The mRNA vaccines may be seen as having some advantages over other types of vaccines, which typically contain a dead form of the virus or bacteria, or a live (but weakened) form of pathogens. In many cases, as has been shown in many published studies, the live viruses in vaccines can become re-activated to cause the actual infection to which you are supposedly being "immunised" against. The mRNA vaccines do not actually contain the coronavirus, but a portion of the "spike protein", there is a very low risk of actually contracting COVID-19 from the vaccine (European Commission Research and Innovation, 2020).
 
mRNA vaccines are a very new development and not used or approved for use in vaccines before. Hence their testing for safety and efficacy MUST be done thoroughly and properly, and not rushed or fast-tracked because of some perceived emergency. The USA has an "Emergency Use Authorisation" or EUA which allows medical devices, which includes vaccines, to be fast-tracked (ie, where testing requirements are reduced) to speed up the development and delivery of such devices where there is no other option for treatment (FDA, 2020). But there is another option, it's called "your immune system"!
 
One possible reason why we have seen so much opposition to the drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) being recommended for its antiviral effects by governments and health departments or organisations or medicine regulators, is that if HCQ was recommended officially by the authorities, it would negate and stop the EUA requirements for any fast-tracked vaccine for COVID-19! In such a scenario, the COVID vaccine manufacturers would have to stick to the full and proper testing protocol for their products, which would take on average 7 years or more to complete in order to test, apply for approval and then produce their products. In our current COVID situation we have seen vaccine manufacturers skip standard testing processes, use unscientific testing protocols, announce a fraudulently-derived effectiveness percentage of their products, and PRODUCE tens of millions of vaccine doses, while they are still testing their product, with the regulator approval seeming to be a mere rubber stamp formality without the usual thorough investigations or analyses done to confirm the safety and effectiveness before being approved for public use.
 
The mRNA vaccines will not prevent COVID-19 infections. They MAY (or may not) prime your immune system to more quickly recognise a future pathogen displaying the same coronavirus spike proteins and this MAY (or may not) result in the production of antibodies. In some published studies, having a level of antibodies does not mean that you are "immune" to that infection! Multiple doses of the mRNA vaccines are needed, as the first dose does not always cause production of antibodies, leading to an initial low efficacy rate.
 
The mRNA vaccines will not prevent the transmission of the virus to others. It takes time (approximately 2 weeks) from the start of an infection for the immune system to ramp up its production of white blood cells to fight the infection. During this time, you can be infecting other people around you.
 
The mRNA vaccines will not stop an active COVID-19 infection in someone.
 
I still have some questions about the mRNA vaccines which need investigating and answering, because I am far from satisfied with the (lack of) thorough testing being done on these new vaccines:
 
1) How do the mRNA molecules in the vaccine get INTO a cell to produce the coronavirus spike proteins, when the mRMA molecules are normally only RELEASED from a cell?
2) For how long will a cell continue to make and release the COVID mRNA to stimulate the immune system?
3) How many cells are likely to become COVID mRNA protein producing factories, and how much mRNA will be produced by these "infected" cells?
4) Will the immune system see your cells with the COVID mRNA in them as being "infected" and destroy them, thus effectively stopping the vaccine from working?
5) What is the true "seroconversion" rate (the % of people who develop antibodies) after each vaccine dose for different age groups?
6) How long will the "immunity" from the COVID-19 vaccines last?
7) What is the true effectiveness rate of these mRNA vaccines in preventing COVID-19 infections?
8) What are the long-term potential adverse effects of these mRNA vaccines? (No-one knows as they are very new, and there have been NO long-term trials done).
 
We don't know the answer to ANY of these questions, which we really should know, especially for this new vaccine technology.
 
mRNA vaccines have been experimented with before, but none have been successful. Using mRNA vaccines in animal trials have suggested that the technique wasn't as safe as hoped (Chemical and Engineering News, 2018).
 
Contrary to many social media posts and memes, mRNA vaccines do not change your DNA! mRNA does not need to nor can enter the nucleus of the cell to change your DNA or your genes. mRNA is only used by cells outside of the nucleus... It is important to make sure that in any scientific debate or opposition to this new vaccine technology that both sides have their facts correct.
 
Despite the fact that mRNA vaccines cannot change your DNA, there are still MANY concerns for these new vaccines, and many questions still need to be asked and answered. MUCH more scientific testing must be done over a longer period, to truly show their safety and efficacy. And whenever there is a risk of side effects, especially in something new like this, and more so when the infection is not serious in 99.99% of the population (who quickly recover), there MUST be a choice for getting this vaccine or not.

Several of the major pharmaceutical companies who are close to finishing their clinical trials of their COVID-19 vaccines have announced some very impressive results of their effectiveness, at around 95%.

Considering that no vaccine in history has come close to being 95% effective in allegedly preventing an infection, and many vaccines have never been able to be produced despite huge budgets and years of trying (such as the common cold virus, HIV, and the SARS and MERS coronavirus vaccines) how are these companies getting such results just in a few months after the outbreak? Let's look into this in more detail...

Some of the major pharmaceutical companies close to finishing their trials and producing COVID vaccines include AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna. I'll look into each of them in turn.

AstraZeneca
AstraZeneca have been running multiple trials together with Oxford University, in the UK, USA, India, Brazil, Japan, and South Africa (AstraZeneca, 2020).

AstraZeneca are being very secretive about the details of their clinical trials and their results, and not releasing the data which allegedly shows positive results (The Guardian, 2020b). After some of their competitors released their trial protocols, AstraZeneca finally released their trial protocol, but not their data. They aim to develop a vaccine with 50% effectiveness (being the FDA requirement for vaccine approval) (Becker's Hospital Review, 2020).

AstraZeneca are creating a genetically-modified vaccine using a defective modified chimpanzee adenovirus with the coronavirus spike protein. The vaccine attempts to stimulate an immune response to the coronavirus spike protein, so that the immune system will recognise the spike protein in a future infection (AstraZeneca, 2020).

Pfizer
Pfizer are developing a new "messenger RNA" (mRNA) vaccine, which does not actually contain the COVID-19 virus. Instead, the mRNA vaccine trains cells to produce a piece of protein which matches the "spike protein" on the surface of the coronavirus, which the cells release and this stimulates an immune response and trains the immune system to recognise and destroy the virus (Pfizer, 2020). Allegedly.

Pfizer is testing their mRNA vaccine on 44,000 volunteers. They reported 170 COVID-19 cases in the volunteers, with 162 in the placebo group and 8 in the vaccine group.

They get their 95% effectiveness by comparing the COVID cases between the placebo group against the vaccine group, as (8/162) * 100% = 4.9% or rounded up to 5% COVID cases in the vaccinated group compared to 95% in the non-vaccinated group. Therefore, they say their vaccine is 95% effective!

Moderna
Moderna are producing a very different mRNA based vaccine, and currently testing on 30,000 volunteers. In this trial, 95 people still contracted COVID-19, with 90 of them in the placebo group and 5 in the vaccine group.

Moderna claim their 95% vaccine effectiveness using the same method as Pfizer: (5/90) * 100% = 5.5%, hence 94.5% effectiveness or rounded up to 95%.


The COIVID vaccine clinical trials are supposed to be about:

1) Testing for efficacy (ie, effectiveness) of the vaccine to PREVENT infections, to prime the immune system and produce ANTIBODIES against the infection, to prevent TRANSMISSION of the infection, and prevent DEATHS!
2) Testing for safety, to make sure that those receiving the vaccine do not get any serious adverse effects (or ANY adverse effects, which is actually impossible), and that the vaccine is not worse than the actual infection in the short term or in the long term.

But none of the major clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccines have been designed to record or test for these 2 critical elements of safety or efficacy! None of the current vaccine trials have been setup to detect that the vaccine will result in a reduction of infections, a reduction of symptoms, the production of antibodies, a reduction of serious outcomes such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths, or a reduction in transmissions (Doshi, 2020). Then what the hell are they actually testing?! It seems they are "testing" NOTHING at all. Other than perhaps some basic maths, which they have no real evidence for...

The vaccine companies are in fact just committing FRAUD, to deceive the regulators, the media, politicians, doctors, and YOU, for their personal financial gain. The "testing" of their vaccines is simply a race to the finish line - to be the first to be able to mass-produce billions of vaccines, while fudging the paperwork to make it look like it works, when it doesn't. As shown above, they aren't even testing their vaccines properly.

And the vaccine companies are committing FRAUD by skipping over the usual test phases (ie, animal trials, which have typically found a lot of problems in past vaccines) as well as ignoring proper safety and efficacy outcomes that they are supposed to be testing for (British Medical Journal, 2020).

They also have no idea of the long-term implications of the COVID vaccines in 3 or 6 or 12 months, or years after vaccination, as no long-term testing will be done before being released to the public. The manufacturers are also not looking at testing specific age groups - for children who have had next to no effects or deaths from the virus, or the elderly with their reduced immune response to all other vaccines, or pregnant women, or those with comorbid conditions. There will be no testing done on these factors, and people in these groups have actually been excluded from the vaccine trials (Doshi, 2020). See the attached table showing all these groups being excluded from the major vaccine trials (Doshi, 2020).

Many governments and health regulators have said that they would approve "safe and effective" COVID vaccines. I hope they will read far more into the manufacturer's testing data than the fudged effectiveness figures they are already quoting... UPDATE: I was confident that the regulators would do the right thing, but then this is 2020 and common sense and science has completely gone out the window. The UK health regulator has today (2nd Dec, 2020) approved the Pfizer COVID vaccine based on their fraudulent 95% effectiveness claims. The UK will begin rolling out this vaccine within days). (The Guardian, 2020). Also, if the Pfizer vaccine has only recently been completed and only just approved, how can they start rolling out millions of doses within days, as the company and government have said, unless it had already been producing that many vaccines for months?! So they have been producing an untested and unapproved vaccine for months, and just doing the paperwork (ie, "testing" and data manipulation) as a formality...

Most governments, such as in the USA and Australia, have already exempted the vaccine manufacturers from any liability from lawsuits due to any side effects, adverse reactions, or deaths that may result from their COVID vaccines. This isn't helping those companies to keep them honest or to test for or make a safe or effective product, as we have just seen.

Some of these concerns, and more, have been raised by other doctors and scientists, including Peter Doshi, an associate editor of the British Medical Journal, who I have referenced in this article (Doshi, 2020). He has been calling for independence and transparency in the COVID-19 clinical trials and their data and findings.

And the worst thing is... the government, and your favourite airline, cafe or restaurant, and even your job, are ready to stop you using any of these services, based on a BS pathology test which doesn't work, and a BS vaccine which also hasn't been tested properly, not likely to work or be as effective as the manufacturers say, or even be safe (as it has not been tested for this!)... All of our future lives are likely to depend on the outcomes of these vaccines, the lobbying from the pharmaceutical companies, and the stupid politicians that implement new laws based on all these fraudulent and untested vaccines.

If you make more people aware of this information and that our lives cannot and must not be dependent on these vaccines, we can stop this madness.

My next article will be on other findings of theses vaccine trials...

Modern medicine is JUST an experiment of using toxic chemicals into malnourished people

Modern medicine is just an experiment of what happens when you put toxic chemicals into malnourished bodies...

Medications don't fix anything. They just trick the body into hiding your symptoms, to make you feel better. Take for instance pain-killing medications - they perform clever things to your biochemical pathways to stop the pain-causing neurotransmitters and/or the cellular receptors from responding to the neurotransmitters, so you don't FEEL the pain. Even though the root causes of the pain are still there, still triggering the pain, and still triggering the pain neurotransmitters...

Or cough medicines which stop you coughing. Never mind that the coughing is a natural mechanism to get the infected mucus and wastes out of your body! Hence you stay more infected and sicker for longer...

Or anti-inflammatory medications which reduce inflammation. Never mind that inflammation is your immune system's natural healing process, so you are in fact prolonging your injury, preventing healing and preventing your immune system from working, which in turn can lead to more infections and over time, cancer.

Or medications to reduce indigestion, reflux, or heartburn etc, by reducing the amount of stomach acid that your stomach produces, to reduce your symptoms. Never mind that your stomach is supposed to be acidic in order to digest your food and release all the nutrients that you eat! If you aren't digesting your foods, you won't be absorbing the nutrients from your foods, and you will quickly become deficient in a large number of nutrients, which in turn cause many more symptoms and conditions, which you may likely reach for more medications to try to hide.... and never actually fix anything. All the while, your health gets worse and worse.

Medications can't fix a poor diet. Medications can't correct nutrient deficiencies. What you need instead is to fix the root causes of your symptoms, which WILL give you long-term resolution and prevention of recurrence!

Sadly, this is not what doctors or the medical system do. They "treat" symptoms (really, they just "manage" symptoms) with medications or surgery.
I instead, as a Clinical Nutritionist, Naturopath and Herbalist, focus on finding all the root causes of all your symptoms and putting together a plan to treating and fixing those root causes, as well as using better and safer options to reduce symptoms and make you feel better, while fixing the causes.

Finding and fixing any nutrient deficiencies is also a very important aspect of what I do, which can be done through signs and symptoms and/or pathology testing. It is also interesting to note that most medications actually CAUSE many nutrient deficiencies, which is also something I check that your medications are doing...
​
Don't just hide your symptoms! Get rid of them forever, by finding and fixing the root causes. That is what I can help you with!

Eating eggs found to be linked to causing diabetes, or do they? (Why you shouldn't believe all you read in the media!)

4/12/2020

Just because you see a new "science" article in the news or media, or even in a published study, doesn't mean it is true, accurate or believable.

Here's yet another example...

Just days before World Diabetes Awareness Day, a new study has been published linking the consumption of eggs to diabetes!

The very first line in the study states "the association between egg consumption and diabetes is inconclusive"! So they set about trying to find an association between eggs and diabetes. They performed this "study" by looking at one to seven 3-day diet diary in Chinese adults only.

The researchers and authors didn't even elaborate on which type of diabetes they were talking about in the study! No mention if it was Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 or others...

Their results found a higher egg consumption was associated with an increased risk of diabetes. Note that NO cause was actually proven! They provided no scientific basis or biochemistry to prove that eggs cause diabetes.

The study found:
• Chinese people are having a higher than global average incidence of diabetes at 10.9% of the population, as compared to 9.3% globally
• The costs of diabetes-related health expenditure in the US alone is $760 billion, and $109 billion in China
• Prevention of diabetes is very important - they got that bit right!
• Eggs provide protein, carotenoids (vitamin A compounds), arginine (an amino acid) and folate. What about all the healthy fats they missed, or the complete amino profile?!
• The authors were concerned about the high amount of cholesterol in eggs, being linked to an increased risk of diabetes by impairing insulin secretion (!). Many other studies show tha cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease or diabetes at all!
• Other studies of egg consumption being linked to diabetes had mixed results - some showing no association, some showing a small association and others were inconclusive
• A higher intake of eggs is accompanied by higher red meat consumption in US studies, which is associated with diabetes (!). No it's not...
• The study found that there was also a higher risk of diabetes due to age, being female, living in an urban area, having a higher income, having a higher weight or obesity, high blood pressure, eating "modern" meals (fast food, milk, egg, and deep fried food). Yet the authors lay the blame entirely on eggs!
• Diabetes was not associated with eating traditional meals (rice, meat and vegetables), smoking, alcohol consumption (!), vegetable consumption, or protein consumption!
• The study looked at other studies of egg consumption with diabetes and found a higher egg intake was associated with a higher intake of modern foods (as opposed to traditional foods), snacks, sweets, desserts, and refined grain products. They said that these high carbohydrate foods can increase the workload on the pancreas and cause insulin resistance (which is diabetes!).

This is a good example of a study going out to hunt for a particular biased conclusion and finding one. In scientific terms this is called a "confirmation bias" - finding an outcome that support one's prior opinions. And also a good example of the same study ignoring other more obvious conclusions or causes, and not actually proving any biochemical causation of eggs causing any health issues. Studies based on food questionnaires or surveys, especially about what one ate years ago, are highly inaccurate and no meaningful scientific outcome should be read from studies like this.

Eggs are a health food! They contain 35% protein and all amino acids, together with 63% healthy fats of a variety of types, and just 2% carbohydrates (Nutrition Data, 2020). Considering that type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease of excess carbohydrate intake, causing insulin resistance, high blood glucose (ie sugar!) levels, and inflammation, eating a food like eggs that is just 2% carbohydrates is NOT going to cause diabetes!

This study ignored all the other high carbohydrate causes of diabetes, and lifestyle factors too, such as stress. Don't blame eggs for what the toast, bread, grains, sugar, juices, sugary drinks, and alcohol (all being high carbohydrate foods) are doing to cause type 2 diabetes!

Don't get your nutrition advice from the media! Speak to a professional who can see through the bias in many studies and other poor nutrition advice. And keep eating eggs!

Stay healthy!

World diabetes day 2020 - Diabetes can be reduced naturally

Today is apparently World Diabetes Day (November 14, 2020), to raise awareness of the condition of diabetes, and to get more funding for the diabetes associations for research into this condition.

Why? When we already know what causes the main form of diabetes (being Type 2), and how to reverse it! (Type 1 symptoms and effects can be greatly reduced and insulin requirements reduced).

Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic condition where blood sugar levels are constantly high due to dysfunctional hormones such as insulin, leptin, and ghrelin and others. The body no longer responds correctly to these hormones. High blood glucose is very inflammatory and damaging to the body, especially to the blood vessels (causing atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin ulcers and loss of blood supply to lower extremities, poor wound healing), damaging the nerves (causing loss of sensitivity and feeling in extremities), eye conditions, kidney damage, liver damage and more.

The Diabetes associations worldwide and most dietitians are in denial about what causes diabetes! They blame dietary fat for making people fat, which can lead to diabetes, so they claim. So they tell diabetics to eat more carbohydrates - mainly grains and grain products (breads, cereals, muesli bars, pasta), rice, oats, fruit juice etc.

But it's these CARBS which cause high blood sugars! It's the constant intake of high carbohydrate foods which maintains, prolongs and worsens the symptoms of diabetes, NOT dietary fats! Healthy fats in your diet do NOT raise your blood sugars, nor cause in insulin response. Hence fats do not cause insulin resistance, nor cause diabetes!

But diabetics are told to eat more of the very thing which causes high blood sugar - carbs! Why? Because the diabetes associations around the world are sponsored by food industry companies, such as grain companies, cereal producers, and other packaged and processed foods, to maintain their profits. The same food industry companies also sponsor the dietitians' associations around the world, so those associations will promote their products. In some countries, such as in Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia actually wrote the government food guidelines, again favouring food industry companies' products. This is why these mostly high carb foods are promoted for everyone, and especially for diabetics. Such advice will make your health worse. See some of the attached pics fpr examples of high carb foods being promoted for diabetics.

I have reversed type 2 diabetes in people who have had the condition for years, often in a few weeks! In some, their fasting blood sugar readings dropped into the normal range within a few days! All because of getting the right scientifically proven nutrition advice and some lifestyle changes, in an easy to follow treatment plan.
​
If you have diabetes or someone you know does and hasn't been able to improve their symptoms in a few weeks, then I would love to help! Type 2 Diabetes is completely reversible! But it needs to be treated by someone who understands the condition and who focuses on the root causes, and not by someone who wants to just "manage" the symptoms. Make a decision to reverse type 2 diabetes today, and improve your quality of life!

The COVID-19 vaccine won't be mandatory, but illegal coercion will be used to try and make you get it

If you haven't figured it out already, the whole coronavirus political agenda and resulting restrictions, lockdowns and infringements on your daily lives, is NOT about a virus. It's about governments implementing new laws for controlling the population and implementing a mass vaccination program, for a virus which affects next to no-one under 50 years of age or who has no existing chronic health conditions. Or in other words, the virus does NOT affect 99.999% of people.

The Australian Government, and other governments worldwide, have said that they would like everyone to get the coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available. Many stoopid politicians (yes, you Dan Andrews and others) have said that we can't go back to "normal" (I really hate that word now!) until a vaccine is available and the whole population gets it.

Unfortunately the Australian constitution (section 51, xxiii) states that the government cannot make any medical treatment mandatory or to use coercion to enforce a mandate, and medical treatments can only be given lawfully with the individual's full informed consent. This includes vaccinations. Various state laws in Australia also have a charter of human rights that similarly prevent medical treatments without full consent.

So instead the state and federal governments and politicians have already been warning us that a COVID vaccination will be "as close to mandatory as possible", which the Prime Minister has said recently (ABC news, 2020). But that means using coercion, which is also illegal. Never mind a few broken laws from hypocritical and lying politicians... it wouldn't be the first time.

If you decide that the new, untested, and unproven, and even unnecessary COVID vaccination is not your cup of tea, and you quite rightly want to decline it because you have read the research on the lack of safety testing or the lack of inert placebo-controlled trials (some COVID vaccine tests are using the dangerous meningococcal vaccine as the "control" group!) or you simply want to exercise your right to not have a "medical treatment" or be coerced into some government-sponsored propaganda... then you might be in for a shock.

The Australian government updated many laws during the alleged pandemic, including the Biosecurity Act (2015). It now states that (Hart, 2020):
• If an individual is required to comply with a biosecurity measure (wearing of a mask or vaccination), they can only do so if the individual consents to the measure, BUT
• An individual failing to comply with a biosecurity measure may be committing an offence, and
• The penalty for failing to comply with a biosecurity measure is 5 years in jail, or a 300-unit penalty, or both.
• Under Commonwealth Law, a "penalty unit" implies a fine of $222.
Hence a 300-unit penalty for not complying with a directive to get the COVID vaccine, which is legally voluntary (!), IF such a vaccine can actually be developed, can be $66,600! Or 5 years jail, or both.

I don't think there are enough spaces in jail for everyone who is likely to tell the government where to go with a COVID vaccine requirement, or enough court time to process all the cases. There are a couple of legal firms around Australia who are challenging many of the ridiculous fines being handed out by over-zealous police around the country, based on illegal "laws".

The potential penalties of 5 years in jail or a $66,600 fine, or both, is ridiculous, excessive, and just plain stupid - for a virus that is found only after testing people who have no symptoms, where only 0.3% of those who are tested are given a "positive" test result, based on a PCR test that reports up to 80% of results as false positives, which only causes issues in people over 50 years of age who have one or more existing chronic health issues, and when 99.9% of them still survive...

If these penalties are so excessive, to attempt to coerce you into a non-existent vaccine, while claiming that this is "voluntary" or "not mandatory", you have to wonder why does the government want to force this onto you, your family and you kids? Do you think this is fair?
​

Why we should not rely on PCR testing for COVID-19

4/12/2020

I've written about the PCR testing being used for testing COVID incidences in the past, in detail. Here's just a quick summary and reminder:
​
The PCR testing process used for COVID and other viruses was never invented for or intended to be used for diagnostic purposes! It was only designed to generate an increasing amount of genetic material (DNA or RNA) given a subset of some existing DNA/RNA.

The rt-PCR test being used for COVID testing involces a cycling function of a number of rounds that the test is repeated to generate enough DNA/RNA or genetic material from a sample to determine an alleged positive or negative result. The more cycles or rounds done in the lab, the more DNA/RNA material is generated, giving more genetic material, and therefore more people test positive for COVID.

If you cycle the test sample material 60 times, EVERY sample will generate a high amount of genetic material which is interpreted as a positive test result!
If you cycle the test sample material 30 times, SOME samples will generate a moderate amount of genetic material which can be interpreted as a positive test result, or a negative result!

If you cycle the test sample material just 10 times, every sample will have a low result of genetic material and NO-ONE tests positive!

There is no "gold standard" rule or recommendation by the WHO or anyone for how many PCR cycles are used for COVID testing. Different countries have a different number of cycles! Hence very different results of alleged incidences...

This means that the governments and labs have full control of how many people test positive or negative to COVID. And the results can be manipulated as needed...

We all should be very concerned by this abuse of science, being used to create fear of a pandemic that doesn't really exist. There MAY be a virus, but in many people who test positive but don't have or get any symptoms, there is something else going on - with the major issue being the PCR testing and interpretation of the results.

New COVID-19 vaccines may increase the risks of HIV infection

4/12/2020

In a troubling article published today (31st October 2020) in the prestigious The Lancet medical journal, and scarily ironic being Halloween, the authors of the article express concern that several of the current COVID-19 vaccines in testing may actually increase the risk of acquiring HIV, the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus linked to causing AIDS (Buchbinder, McElrath, Dieffenbach & Corey, 2020).

The COVID vaccines being developed and tested are based on new technologies, rather than tried and tested techniques of vaccine development and delivery in the past. Several of the current COVID vaccines underway are using a genetically-modified type of virus called adenovirus type-5 (Ad5) with parts of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, in an attempt to stimulate an immune response and therefore immunity to the virus. An article in the Science journal (Cohen, 2020) shows 4 of the current COVID vaccines being tested are using the Ad5 vector that raised these concerns 10 years ago.

The authors of the Lancet article published today were involved in the attempted development and testing of an HIV vaccine over 10 years ago, using the same genetically-modified Ad5 virus, but all studies during testing found that the HIV vaccine actually INCREASED the risks of acquiring HIV. This finding confirms similar studies in monkeys (Buchbinder, McElrath, Dieffenbach & Corey, 2020).

A strange finding in several studies earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, which I wrote about at the time, found that the coronavirus was a genetically-modified mix of several viruses, including the 2003 SARS coronavirus AND the HIV type 1 virus... Coincidence?! I think not.

Considering that it is the strength and good functioning of your immune system that is the ONLY thing that can prevent and protect you from any infection, and also assist you in overcoming the infection and get you back to health, the findings from the old HIV vaccine testing, and in the published Lancet article, are very concerning. The alleged purpose of any vaccine is to IMPROVE your immune system function and prevent a future infection of that pathogen. But these studies and many more show this not to be true. Some of the new COVID vaccines may INCREASE your risk of getting HIV, which reduces your immune system function (as allegedly HIV infects your immune system's white blood cells), and can then lead you to be more susceptible to COVID or ANY other infection in future.

The authors of the Lancet paper suggest that some of the new COVID vaccines will increase the risks of acquiring HIV, and they recommend testing should be done more thoroughly to prevent this. They also recommend people getting this vaccine be given full informed consent documents so they can weigh up the considerable risk of HIV based on a large amount of published studies showing this risk using the modified Ad5 virus in the COVID vaccines. Wishful thinking perhaps, as sadly, "informed consent" is never given by doctors who administer any vaccine, and the repercussions of not getting the COVID vaccine based on government warnings (despite the 99.9% survival rate of those who get it) will be severe.

Stay informed, and stay healthy!

Psoriasis can be treated naturally!

4/12/2020

Today is World Psoriasis Day (October 29, 2020), to raise awareness of this autoimmune skin condition which causes unsightly skin lesions along with stress-related psychological and mental health side effects in those with the condition.
Psoriasis is one of approximately 80 health conditions which are classified as autoimmune conditions, but what does this mean, and how can naturopathy help?
​
Autoimmune conditions are health issues where your immune system attacks your normal cells instead of bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells, which is what they should be protecting you against. Autoimmune conditions are normally called a different name, depending on which organs or tissues are being attacked by the immune system. Such conditions cause a lot of inflammation in your body, which can cause many other symptoms other than just in the area being affected.

Examples of a few more common autoimmune conditions and the organs or regions which are affected can include type 1 diabetes (pancreas), Coeliac and Crohn's disease (digestive tract), Multiple Sclerosis (nervous system), Grave's and Hashimoto's disease (thyroid), Rheumatoid arthritis (joints), psoriasis (skin), lupus (connective tissue all over the body), and many others.

The typical medical approach to autoimmune conditions is to suppress the immune system with anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressives, corticosteroids, chemotherapy and other medications to try and slow down the damage. But this is a bandaid approach in that it covers up the symptoms and lessens them, but doesn't do anything for the cause or any real treatment. Suppressing the immune system is never a good idea as it can lead to a greater risk of other infections and even cancer.

The cause of autoimmune conditions is from lifestyle and dietary factors. Stress and nutrition always influences every disease, especially autoimmune conditions. There are other factors involved too, with some triggers being alleries and food/chemical intolerances, microbes and parasites, and toxic chemicals. Another major factor influencing autoimmune conditions is how well your digestive system is functioning, or the integrity of the instestinal wall.

Naturopaths are the best practitioners to help with autoimmune conditions as we do look at the bigger holistic (whole body) picture of your food intake, lifestyle, digestive system, food intolerances and all the other factors involved! With a treatment plan which treats all factors, autoimmune condtions can be slowed, prevented and even reversed!

I have treated many cases of psoriasis in the past, and some have responded very quickly to treatments, with some skin areas clearing within a few weeks, and some taking a little longer. But in many with psoriasis who have suffered for years or decades, seeing the skin improve within weeks gives a great sense of relief! Symptoms will continue to reduce over time, and the skin can clear, without the need for dangerous medications. All because the root causes are being identified and treated, along with symptom relief.

If you or someone you knows has psoriasis, or any another autoimmune condition, and your treatment isn't getting better, I'd love to help!

Doctors and scientists rally against COVID restrictions

4/12/2020

In October 2020, a group of doctors, scientists, medical academics, epidemiologists (scientists who study epidemics and diseases in populations), experts in public health, and some who work at the US National Institutes of Health and the CDC, came together to discuss the coronavirus pandemic and actions by health officials (WHO, UN, and government and state health policies and came up with The Great Barrington Declaration of their thoughts and recommendations over the coronavirus pandemic thus far.

The Great Barrington Declaration has been signed by many experts, to show their support to the group and the recommendations it makes. Some of the key points in the declaration include:

1. Lockdown policies are causing devastating effects on short and log-term public health, including fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health, leading to greater mortality in years to come
2. Keeping children out of school, when they are the least affected by the virus, is a grave injustice
3. Keeping lockdowns and restrictions in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, more so in the lower socio-economic areas and communities
4. Herd immunity can occur in healthy people being exposed to the wild virus, which can then protect the vulnerable, and that this is NOT dependent on a vaccine (as vaccinations do NOT confer any herd immunity, due to only giving a very short-term "immunity" if at all)
5. The vulnerable still need to be protected to minimise mortality, such as in the elderly who have a 1000 times higher risk of death from the coronavirus (due to existing chronic health issues)
6. People who are at minimal risk of death should live their lives normally to build up personal immunity and herd immunity
7. Nursing homes should use only staff who have acquired immunity from the virus
8. Elderly people should have food delivered to their home, to minimise contact with others who may be infected, but should be able to meet family members outside their home, not inside (to reduce infections)
9. Healthy and younger people should live their lives as normal. Schools and universities should open for in-person teaching. Sports should be resumed. Workplaces should be opened and work resumed.

In support of the declaration, many other health experts, doctors and specialists, and scientists have also signed the declaration in agreement with its recommendations. As a concerned citizen, or even as a health practitioner, or in any other role, you too can sign this declaration! The Great Barrington Declaration can be read and signed here:
https://gbdeclaration.org/

To date, the declaration has been signed by:
533,347 concerned citizens
10,595 medical and public health scientists
29,275 medical practitioners

The number of medical practitioners and scientists in agreement is significant! And this is only in 2 weeks after the declaration was released. Share this wide and get more people to sign!
​
While I think this is a good start, and a measured response by medical and health experts, I believe it doesn't go far enough or explain what people can do to minimise their risks of this or any other infection, as I have explained in many previous articles, by improving one's nutrition, lifestyle factors, and improving the immune system function to better deal with infections for prevention and in treatments.

Science isn't always right! Science is open to Bias and lies

We're being told to not question science over the coronavirus situation, but as I've found and written about many times on this page, when there's many billions of dollars in potential profits to be made, science can be misused, biased, manipulated and corrupted.

Science has become sciencism, a religion corrupted by money, to be abused by those who want to gain from it.

Science MUST be questioned, or it's just dogma.
