JUNE 18, 2020 IS YOUR ATTIRE NOW INCLUDE A MASK

Is wearing a mask now part of your normal attire / Will a mask protect me from a viral infection ? Will a mask protect others from contracting a droplet/airborne viral infection from me? These are very important questions

I do know that some doctors offices are requiring you to wear a mask. There is a sign in our office. You cannot ride Metro North New Haven Line without wearing a mask

Viruses are generally much smaller than bacteria ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 microns. The COVID 19 virus is .1 micron. It is known that your body’s defense respiratory system is sufficiently able to filter and remove foreign substances over 2.5 microns. If these substances pass this barrier , they then must encounter the forces of your own general immune system. It has been reported in a 2010 study that shirts, towels, sheets are ineffective viruses. The protection of these fabrics materials are unlikely to have respiratory protection to a wearer against virus size sub microns. So why I am wearing a mask ? It has been handmade for me and I like the colors I have chosen is my answer. People wearing cloth masks were 13 times more likely to have respiratory symptoms than a medical mask that I wore in the hospital while volunteering.

There is conflicting data out there. I do not know how to solve that problem or interpret the information. A cloth mask is good is the user is coughing or sneezing and that is it. Surgical or procedure masks are the best. These are great for splash protection from saliva etc but do not offer any respiratory protection from particles less than 100 microns.

So this is my answer. Wearing a mask is an individual’s choice. I feel it makes others feel protected or safe from the wearer. The common sense public health measure of social distancing seems to be the best answer Oh , yes you must definitely do routine hand washing when needed.

Until tomorrow…

JUNE 17, 2020 GOOD SNACKS

During this pandemic some of us might have veered from our normal healthy dietary and exercise lifestyle. Some of us used this time to eat better and exercise in different ways than going to the gym.

Snacking on chips, cookies, soda and ‘ sugar’ not only leads to weight gain but contributes to chronic health conditions. There are healthier snacks during this pandemic

Some of these include is a protein bar. There are many on the market. You must be ‘picky’ You must watch out for hidden carbs and low protein I like the Perfect Almond Butter Bar which has 13 grams of protein. I do think the sugar content is a bit high but most of the bars on the market have high sugar. You must find a bar with adequate protein and low net carbs. The Atkins Advantage Bar had the right combination

I LOVE healthy trail mix with few dried fruit and chock full of nuts ( not the coffee). I love it to contain almonds, walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and few cashews. Trader Joe’s has the right one for me called Omega Trek Mix It is crunchy and a great way to satisfy my sugar craving.

The last healthy snack is low glycemic fruits. These are all kinds of berries. These have high antioxidant and low sugar content. I sometimes melt 3 squares of dark chocolate over the blueberries

Until tomorrow…

JUNE 16, 2020 MY 60TH BIRTHDAY

Today is my 60th BIRTHDAY. I didn’t expect to live to 60. The reasons I say that is when I was drinking/drugging I had a very dismal look at the future and the prospects of even getting clean. But at age 34 I got clean and sober with the assistance of Alcoholics Anonymous, therapy and many individuals.

This June21 st ( On Father’s Day ) marks my 26th year of continuous sobriety. To say I am grateful is an understatement. No matter when life ends— what really matters at the end ? I know now it is not what we bought, but instead what we built. It is NOT what we got, but what we shared. It is not our competence but our character .And certainly it is not our success, but our significance.

I have learned to live a life that matters to me. I have learned to be the best of my ability to have few to no expectations. This way I can be surprised and not disappointed.

I have learned to forgive people although difficult at times in some situations. Forgiveness is not accepting their behaviors then or now. I have forgiven them for me and only me. This has allowed me to move on with my life.

We each have a journey. Some of the journeys are easier than others and some are tougher than others. We each have to take what has been dealt to us by our Higher Power. The choice has been mine to either make me a better person or allow it to tear me down. To the best of my ability , the fate belongs to me.

So on my 60th I want to thank everyone who has crossed my path in my years. I realize today how far I have become and I “ smile “I smile because I am proud of myself. Andrea Dykstra summed it up : “ In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.”

Until tomorrow…

JUNE 15, 2020 VACCINES

Since the pandemic I have been reading many different journals. There was an article by Vaccine Impact published in May 2019 which published an open letter by Theresa Deisher PhD on the dangers of purported dangers of fetal DNA in vaccines produced with fetal derived cell lines. Yes you heard correctly- vaccines with fetal DNA cell lines. It was eye opening to me This also discussed the unrefuted facts about fetal DNA contaminants in the MMR vaccine. There were flaws in this article about certain clams. It made me aware of contaminants in vaccines I never knew

Then I read more about the upcoming COVID vaccine on either Tweet or Instagram by Robert Kennedy Jr. He discussed the two companies who might have the first corona vaccine by January 2021. I find a vaccine out by January 2021 to be scary. The two companies are Johnson and Johnson and Astra Zeneca. Then there are companies using cell lines from aborted babies which include CanSino Biologics and Bejiing Institute of Biotechnology.

He then went on to tell about the cell line being used from aborted babies in 1972 and 1985. I find all of this ‘new’ to me I will keep reading

JUNE 11, 2020 NATURAL WAYS ITO IMPROVE IMMUNE SYSTEM

A second wave of coronavirus cases is emerging in the U.S., raising alarms as new infections push the overall count past 2 million Americans. You must boost your immune system . I cannot write enough about your own immune function. It is impossible to overstate the magnitude of disability and death that your immune system inflicts of the aging population. We saw it over the last four months.

A dysfunctional immune ignites inflammatory fires everywhere in the body while failing to protect against infections, like corona virus and other viruses in addition to cancer. There is one natural supplement that you must take. It is called Reishi mushrooms. The immune boosting properties are beyond reproach. This natural mushroom has been shown to promote maturation and activation of the immune system cells . These cells include your T cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages. These are vitally important against viruses and cancer. Reishi augments the function of your innate and adaptive immune system. The innate is the first body’s defense . This innate system acts first against viruses. The natural killer cells are an important component of innate immunity.

Reishi has recently shown to promote protective properties by increasing Interleukin 10 and and lowering interleukin 6 levels.

You want an expanded lifespan. Take Reishi mushrooms. Call Botanical Bounty in NYC or visit: 115 E 57th St, Suite 1510 New York, NY 10022: (646) 723-1823

Restore an old immune system. Build a new immune system

JUNE 10, 2020 IT'S NOT OVER

If YOU asked me 4 months ago would I still be writing about a pandemic I would have said , “ NO” According to the New York Times and the Washington Post have reported an increase in cases in 14 states. While my state of New York have eased in infections there are 17 states that have increased. There are parts of the country that have previously avoided being hard hit are tallying record high new infections THIS IS NOT OVER.

Since June, 14 states including Puerto Rico have recorded their highest ever seven day average of new corona cases since the pandemic began.

I will report again stating “ THIS IS NOT OVER “ We have to continue to track these numbers but more importantly we need to do appropriate testing by reliable labs.

Please get tested.

Until tomorrow…

JUNE 9, 2020 TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH POWER

The last three months have been a time of redirecting and reinventing your life. It is also a time to reflect about our health. We had time to cook these days. We had time to go outside with a mask and exercise by walking, jogging, riding your bicycle or rollerblading

As this pandemic is now into its fourth month you need to consider getting antibody IgG and IgM antibody tested. I would do this before seeing friends and family. I am back in my NYC and Fairfield , CT offices. The reason for YOU to be tested is if you are seeing relatives and friends that are high risk of becoming gravely ill if he/she gets the virus. They are advising getting tested if you have symptoms. I am encouraging ALL to be tested since the access to testing has improved. Getting tested is not a foolproof way of ensuring you will not transmit the virus. It is the best we have right now. Also if you test positive, it by no means you have immunity. We simply DO NOT know the answer to that question If you get tested today and see your relative in one week, you might have the virus if you have been back at work. Get tested closer to the date you are visiting the friend/relative.

We do know that since thousands of people are back at work there will be an increase in cases and deaths. We also know that since there has been protests with large amounts of people with and without masks there will be an increase in cases and deaths

Take charge of your health Get tested today We offer Ig G and IgM antibody testing by BioTek Laboratories. Call for an appointment today In NYC 212 421 3202, and in Fairfield CT 203 717 1339.

Until tomorrow…

JUNE 8, 2020 BIOENGINEERED WEAPON

I want to be a renegade so this bioengineered weapon also known as the corona virus 19 ( COVID 19) has taken so many innocent lives. There are solutions. I have been listening to webnars and podcast over the last 3 months.

Andreas Kalcher ( www.andreaskalcher.com )a biophysiciist was recently interviewed for Brighteon Conversations by Mike Adams of Natural News. . He discussed chlorine dioxide and its cure for COVID. This is not sodium hyperchloride.

Invented in the 1800’s. You have substance sodium chloride and an actvator HCl (similar to stomach acid at 4 %) You put together which makes a chemical reaction. I am not asking all of you to becoming chemists, but to understand. This gas is the activate ingredient not the two liquids used to make it. It was published by Jim Humbell and called MMS. It is used against Malaria It can cause diarrhea as a side effect.

Use the gas absorbed in a liquid .It is absorbed in the stomach and will not cause diarrhea. It also has a pH neutral solution. It can also be given intravenously. This is NOT chlorine. It is an oxidized salt. Do you ingest salt? Yes. Can you ingest chlorine dioxide? Yes. It increases oxygen directly in the blood and the chlorine ion is oxidized also. It has been shown it behaves just like our blood. This is published data. This has worked on the blood on COVID patients. This treatment saturates the blood with oxygen in a oxygen deprived patient. It is like a chemical ventilator.

I would encourage you to listen to this webnar. You don’t have to be a doctor, nor a biochemist. It is very interesting….

Until tomorrow…
