Quack Cures for Vax Injuries

The quacks failed dieters, they failed diabetics, they failed thyroid patients, and now they're failing the vaccine injured. Quack doctors--meaning most doctors--handle difficult, non-emergency cases like this:

Question whether there's really a problem
Run tests that almost always come back "normal"
Suggest the problem is psychological, or somehow the patient's fault

Why can't they just admit they don't know? I listened to a meeting of vaccine-injured people where one seemed to think that doctors knew what the problem really was, but wouldn't say. No--they really don't know. When endocrinologists (hormone doctors) have no idea how to treat diabetes or thyroid problems, dead common hormonal conditions with good protocols established decades ago, they're not going to know about anything about a brand-new condition.

Having suffered with headaches and GI problems doctors couldn't fix, I can understand why people try different concoctions...most of which don't do any more good than a visit to the doctor. Alex Berenson retweeted a picture of a "vax detox" protocol of some dozen pill bottles. One contained "bovine heart PMG extract"; you can buy a whole beef heart for the price of a bottle of the stuff. Another contained bovine adrenal, an ingredient not prominently displayed on the bottle. I've taken adrenal cortex. Based on that experience--heart palpitations and sweating at times-- I hope the person taking that is being monitored by someone who knows that they're doing (doubtful), especially if he has heart problems.

Other comments during the meeting expressed the benefits of saline injections. These are literally placebos. To be fair, one person suffered from POTS (dizziness when you stand up quickly). Being dehydrated or low on salt can make you lightheaded, so maybe saline gives some real benefit to her, but it's nothing you couldn't get from a glass of water with a few pinches of salt.

What can the vaccine injured do? They first have to understand their problems. From this article in Swiss Policy Research and this prescient article in Clinical Immunology, it sounds like at least some of the reactions might be autoimmune disorders. (Coincidentally, one of the authors of the second article wrote a book I reviewed here.) Saline solution and beef heart do not fix autoimmune conditions.

Dr. Davis has a protocol for autoimmune conditions (but makes no claims about vaccine injuries). I don't think anybody knows if it would help vaccine injuries. Nevertheless, his protocol involves wheat and grain elimination, restoring vitamin D to healthy levels, correcting omega-3 fatty acid deficiency, managing bowel flora, eradicating SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), and identifying any food sensitivities. None of these things are risky or as expensive as specialists or a medicine cabinet full of dubious supplements. He says autoimmune conditions require an extended period of time for a response to develop; as I recall, one member said his Hashimoto's (not vaccine related) took a year or more to resolve.

Again, I'm just proposing this as a possibility. The vax injured will have to solve their own problems and look for renegade doctors who understand, and can explain to laymen, what the problem is and how their proposed solution helps. Trust has to be earned. Understanding how studies are done (RCTs vs. observational), knowing something about how humans evolved and lived during hunter-gatherer days, and knowing how certain bodily systems work helped me discern solutions from pixie dust.

30-second Fix for a Cracked Stick Blender

Use Mighty Fixit (if you still have some from 2012) or Rescue Tape (which looks like a similar product) to fix a cracked stick blender. After I fixed the attachment, I washed it in the sink and the tape held up. I also wrapped a knife handle several years ago, and it's been through thousands of washings.

Fly with Reuteri

If you're planning to travel by plane and you want to keep enjoying the benefits of l. reuteri yogurt, you might have gotten sticker shock from the price of l. reuteri probiotics. MyReuteri * costs $46 to $83 for 30 capsules, depending on the CFUs (colony-forming units, or the number of viable microorganisms). If you're thinking about economizing by putting some yogurt in a sturdy container and taking it with you, you can do that. I'll break down the pros and cons and look at some alternatives. Photo from Unsplash . Cost Yogurt might be less expensive than probiotics, but it isn't free. A half-cup serving costs about 70¢ to make if you start with a previous batch. It contains about 90 billion CFUs if fermented for 36 hours. This is a lot less than $5.56 for two capsules of 50 billion CFU MyReuteri, but for a one-week vacation, you'd only save $34 by eating yogurt instead. (You can freeze any unused capsules for later.) Furthermore, the yogurt would have to go in ...

Holiday Dinner Tip from Restaurant Pros: Limit the Menu

After watching some people online getting freaked out about trying to put on holiday dinners and getting overwhelmed to the point that they're thinking about canceling the whole thing, I thought I'd put out a restaurant tip that will help people put on a dinner with less aggravation. A big complaint among the frustrated home cooks I've seen is that family members are not contributing to the dinner. But a bigger problem I see is that their menu is just too big. One lady's family is having her make 12 dishes all by herself, and some of these dishes look pretty complicated. Watch the video here or read on. The reason this is aggravating is that more dishes mean more shopping, more prep, and more cleanup. It's hard to make several dishes that will all be ready at the same time. Even though I used to be a prep cook at a restaurant, I've put on Thanksgiving dinners myself, and I cook from scratch almost every day, there's no way I'd try to make a 12-course di...

Moving on to YouTube

Remember when the blogosphere was a wild ride? Doctors, writers and researchers dove into research, picked apart studies and stood up to official advice and conventional wisdom that didn't work. We found each other in the comments and made a community. Along the way, Dr. T. Colin Campbell's research got exposed as shoddy by an English major, Tom Naughton made us laugh, "safe starch" fads made us scratch our heads, "Diabetes Warrior" Steve Cooksey almost went to jail, CarbSane trolled everyone who was anyone, and CarbSaneR trolled the troll. Now it's very quiet. Blogs don't come up in Google search results anymore and even if they did, most of the bloggers have stopped writing. That's why I've moved on to YouTube. Videos do come up in search results and my shorts--which are mostly what I make--get pushed out to hundreds of people or more. My videos are on food and health (biohacking), but also on growing things and fixing things. If you...

The Inner Circle Site is a Maze!

If you're a member of Dr. Davis's Inner Circle site, you know how hard it is to navigate. But I have a YouTube Playlist of videos I've created on using the site--finding yogurt recipes, using the search function, uploading lab tests, finding which lab tests you should take, and more. All videos are under 11 minutes, the longer ones have chapters and time stamps in the description, and in about 30 minutes, you'll be navigating the site like techno-boss. Link here .
