Nutrition for Covid. Part 4


While many people will tell you the benefits of supporting your immune system to fight off the virus this is only a small part of this Covid story. Even more important than your immune system, at least in the immediate is to lower the ACE2 while you build your immune system. The simplest way to do this is through healthy diet and lifestyle choices as well as supplementing with natural ACE2 blockers.  Fortunately, when you work on lowering ACE2 through nutrition you also build up your immune system. A win-win, not to mention reduce your risk of most forms of chronic illn...

Only the sick get sick. Covid Part 3


Disease occurs because our health is already compromised, usually as a result of decades of running ourselves down. Have you noticed that some people don’t catch the flu even when surrounded by people with runny noses and coughs? Or they get sick and recover really quickly, while others take months to get better? Without a doubt, they are exposed to the same germs but they don’t get the illness. Others catch the flu all the time, and the ones who catch it all the time always seem to have something wrong with them. It is widely recognised, both in animal experiments and ...

The Trojan horse and why Covid is so deadly. Covid Part 2


There is little doubt that Covid is an extremely deadly illness. However, simply put, and I will elaborate on these figures in a later post, Covid is around 10-100 times more deadly than the influenza virus which kills up to half a million people each year.  Hence in a period of 18 months it has killed around 5million people. However, the risks to Covid are not equal. Many health professionals have been reported in the media saying that “for healthy younger people the risk is no more than the annual influenza virus”. Despite the media hyping up when a young person (und...

In the beginning SARS-CoV-2. Part 1


Many people have wondered why the vaccines and the pharmaceutical response could happen so quickly. The answer lies in the fact that SARS-Co-2 which is responsible for the COVID-19 (2019) outbreak was not the first SARS-CoV. SARS-Co-1, caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002. These two cousin viruses have a lot of overlap and exploit ACE-2 receptors to invade host cell which is what makes them so deadly and which I will discuss later on.  Unfortunately, however, the modern medical/pharmaceutical system continues to perpetuate the notion that there is onl...

The Ageing Process. Free radicals and Inflammaging


Aging is considered as a biological process characterized by a progressive deterioration in physiological functions and metabolic processes that increase the risk of suffering and death. While there are various theories as to why the body ages, they are all, one way or another link with free radicals and inflammation. The Free Radical Theory of Aging was first proposed in 1956 by Denham Harman, and says the process of ageing is due to the damaging consequences of free radical action, i.e. lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and protein oxidation, which accumulate over time. Whil...

InflammAging Covid and the flu


Older persons are often affected by a low-grade state of inflammation called “inflammaging” and is associated with a significant rise in blood inflammation markers, independently of other risk factors. Inflammaging is related to the gradual deterioration of the immune system with age and altered immune response termed immunosenescence. This refers to age-related declines in the capacity to respond to infections and likely contributes to the cause of several diseases typically associated with ageing such as dementia, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases as well as increas...

The root cause of all illness. Inflammation, oxidation and acidosis


Understanding some basics of chronic illness is the key to fixing the problem. The simplest place to start is with the underlying conditions that lead to chronic illness. This is what I call the “Illness Triad” or “Disease Triad”—inflammation, oxidation and acidosis. These three conditions are present in every form of chronic illness and prevent the body from healing and recovering. If we reduce them or even stop them from being out of control, then we can allow the body to heal and stop the progression of chronic illness. But the more advanced chronic illness is,...

Toxic effects of Microplastics: Microplastics Part 2


Although microplastics (MP) and human health is an emerging field many studies have now highlight the potential of these products as an increasing health hazard. If inhaled or ingested, microplastics may accumulate and exert localized particle toxicity by inducing or enhancing an immune response. Chemical toxicity could occur due to the localized leaching of component chemicals and pollutants. Chronic exposure is anticipated to be of greater concern due to the accumulative effect that could occur and is expected to be dose-dependent. That is the more you are exposed to over...

The Truth About Blood Pressure Medications: Side effects


The Complete Hypertension Solution Part 4   Over the past 35 years, patients have suffered from a largely hidden epidemic of side effects from drugs that usually have few offsetting benefits. The pharmaceutical industry has corrupted the practice of medicine through its influence over what drugs are developed, how they are tested, and how medical knowledge is created and even marketed. While they continue to exaggerate the potential benefits and grossly under recognise the side effects and negative consequences. As a result pharmaceutical medicines are now recogn...

Overcoming all illness. Treat the illness and underlying conditions not the symptoms.


Our current medical system treats individual symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs and surgery rather than treating the underlying conditions that create health problems and symptoms. Treating elevated cholesterol, arterial calcification, blood pressure, blood glucose, triglycerides or other symptoms is ridiculous and means that most people will be on multiple medications without any real reduction in mortality risk. Extrapolating from current medicinal interventions, one can predict that within 20 years most people will be on 20 or more different medications a day to treat in...
