MAY 20, 2021 MORE VACCINE DATA
An estimated 124 million Americans are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As of April 30, 2021, 3,837 died shortly after their COVID shots. That’s more than have died from all available vaccines combined from mid-1997 until the end of 2013 — a period of 15.5 years
Did you read about this ? I did not. It is the VAERS data More than 80 colleges and any number of employers are now implementing mandatory COVID vaccination
In 1976 we had the swine flu. One of my cousins developed Guillan Barre syndrome after his vacciantion shot. Others died. The U.S. government vaccinated 45 million people against pandemic swine flu. in 1976. The entire program was canceled after reports of just 53 deaths. So why isn’t their talk about the deaths from the COVID vaccine and stopping its vaccine
I read a lot of data ont he internet about the vaccine and the vaccine program. Dr. Peter McCullough, vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and known for being one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the United States has made some important statements and the data will scare you. But the truth must be known.
He stated, “ The entire focus of our health agencies has been on masking, lockdowns and waiting for a gene therapy “vaccine.” The results have been devastating. Five months into the mass vaccination campaign, more than 10,000 in the U.S. and European Union have already died after getting the shots. Any other vaccine would have been pulled from the market by now.
YOU need to read the data. I understand if you were vaccinated. I was vaccinated. Prior to this vaccination I had not received a vaccine since 1975. I was playing and injored myself on a piuece of wood with a rusty nail. I got the tetanus booster shot in the hospital that afternoon.
There is so much data being published ont he vaccine. Be informed
Until tomorrow…
MAY 19, 2021 VACCINE FRENZY
THE TALK IS STILL ABOUT DID YOU GET YOUR VACCINE. Well did you ? The vaccines were made in such a hurry you could be thinking should I get it or should I not. This is a personal decision. However were we all guinea pigs being vaccinated without substantial amount of test subjects and studies. Health professionals had to get it as it will attached torenewing their license in the future. Individuals who want to travel abroad might not be able to by June . Individuals who want to travel might not be able to by December 2021. Airlines will make their own policies.
Growing real-world evidence suggests that available COVID-19 vaccines are highly protective against known SARS-CoV-2 strains, including those designated as variants of concern by the CDC, according to NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, MD. It was effective against the South African strain as well as the U.K. variant.
We know little of anything about their effectiveness against the P.1 variant, first reported in Brazil, and the B.1.617 variant, which has led to a massive surge of infections in India,
Now the vaccine is approved for 12 - 18 years old individuals. I don’t know if I had a child of that age would I recommend he/she to get the vaccine. Do we know any studies regarding fertility. Will the vaccine make men and women sterile or unable to have a child. These are important questions and concerns.
The CDC has just made announcements about the wearing of a mask. This could lead to more cases. Many are uncomfortable without making a mask in a public space. Individual businesses will have to make their own policy. Medical offices will have to make policies.
We live in a different world today
Until tomorrow
MAY 18, 2021 SEWING IS HEALTHY
If you’ve ever been stressed or frustrated and have found yourself running to your sewing machine or beloved pastime to cool down and find your zen again. I find my zen when I needlepoint. You might find it in knitting. I know someone who finds it in making fabulous quilts. Recently I found an article that highliughted the benefits of sewing. I feel these same health benefits can extend to any hobby which allopws you to be calm.
Sewing requires concentration and hand-eye coordination, which helps with cognitive development and the development of motor skills.
Sewing encourages creative thinking and enhances knowledge, which can help with problem-solving in other areas of your life.
Upcycling clothing is good for the environment (and your wallet).
Sewing increases nimbleness in the fingers and softens the joints in the fingers over time.
Sewing is relaxing and can lead to a more steady heart rate, lower blood pressure, and less perspiration over time.
The calming effects of sewing can reduce stress if your mind is focused on it.
Sewing keeps the mind healthy and active so that your mind can stay sharper for longer. The creative thinking required during sewing encourages the growth of new brain cells.
Sewing encourages self-discipline, accomplishments, and instills pride, which boosts mental health.
I am all about finding a hobby. It not only has the health benefits above but iot boosts your self esteem

MAY 17, 2021 CANNABIDIOL
There is no doubt in my mind that the Cannabis plant is here to stay. In the years from 2002-2012 there were very few studies published on the use of cannabinoids for medicinal treatment of pain. Since 2012 there are well over 50 published studies on this topic
Cannabis satuva and Cannabis indica are the two main species of the Cannacis plant. The most abundant THC is known for its psychoactive properties. The studies on THC for a wide array of diseaes is now well established. More and mroe states are making this legal.
The second most abundant cannabinoid is CBD which is non psychoactive. I haveused CBD more frequently in the last five years than I ever thought I would. The research is there. Its medicinal benefits are overwhelming for pain. Cannavis was used in Eastern medicine far more than the Western medicine. From the 1930’s to 1970 cannabis was used in this country until it become illegal. Now we are finally back on track in most states.
As a physician in recovery for more than 25 years I am very comfortable with recommending the use of THC for illnesses. For those that do not want to take the THC component, there are many disease states that can beneit from the CBD component.
Talk to your physician about using either CBD or THC. The published studies are there. If he/she doesn’t know about either- it is time that he/she gets educated. You could start them..

MAY 14-16, 2021 COVID AND THE GUT
Can you do anything to prevent getting infected with COVID or decreasing its virulence if you get infected,. There are many lifestyle and environmental factors that play a significant control in getting infected or being “ not so sick” if you get COVID
In my opinion, as with all disease the gut microbiome must be healthy in order to prevent disease. The “ gut” is the gateway to a healthy life.
. In the past one year there have been so many published studies on the integrity of the microbiome and COVID 19
This was not just any respiratory virus. We have found out that the gut’s microbiome can influence the individual’s infectability after they have been exposed. This is why some people did well and some did not. In general those that had a good gut microbiome faired much better.
Those patients with diabetes were at risk at diabetes alters the gut microbiome. Those diabetics with a healthy lifestyle in regards to the food they consume, and the anti oxidants they consume faired better with the infection as those had a healthy gut microbiome. Countless articles showed this connection
Those individuals who take a large numbers of prescription drugs were at risk. These drugs disrupt the microbiome making the individual more susceptible. These could be antibiotics, antacids, steroids and many more.
From the very beginning of the pandemics I wrote that individuals should take Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, and N acetyl cysteine ( or reduced glutathione) to prevent he / she from getting COVID and decreasing symptoms if you had COVID
There is so much to be learned from this pandemic., We must learn about the gut microbiome and other disease as this is only the beginning of future pandemics yet to come.
Until tomorrow…
