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:

  1. Question whether there's really a problem
  2. Run tests that almost always come back "normal"
  3. 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.

Blog Lineup Change

Bye-bye, Fathead. I've enjoyed the blog, but can't endorse the high-fat, high-carb Perfect Health Diet that somehow makes so much sense to some otherwise bright people. An astrophysicist makes some rookie mistakes on a LC diet, misdiagnoses them, makes up "glucose deficiency," and creates a diet that's been shown in intervention studies to increase small LDL, which can lead to heart disease. A computer programmer believes in the diet and doesn't seem eager to refute it because, perhaps, scientists are freakin' liars and while he's good at spotting logical inconsistencies, lacks some intermediate knowledge of human biology. To Tom's credit, he says it's not the right diet for everyone, but given the truckload of food that has to be prepared and eaten, impracticality of following it while traveling (or even not traveling), and unsuitability for FODMAPs sufferers, diabetics and anyone prone to heart disease (i.e., much of the population), I'm...

Collagen-filled Low Carb Burritos

Low-carb, grain-free Mexican food is hard to find, but it's easy to make your own at home. This recipe has an authentic ingredient: carne de lengua, or beef tongue. Don't be put off: beef tongue is tender, delicious, and full of collagen. Look for it directly from farmers in your area. To cook it, cut it in 1" to 1-1/2" slices and pressure cook for one hour. Enjoy the delicious broth as a bonus. Ingredients 1 slice cooked beef tongue, peeled and cut into small cubes 1 egg wrap (I use these  from Egglife) 1/4 cup cooked black or pinto beans Chili pepper Oregano Garlic (powdered or minced) Cumin Guacamole (with no emulsifiers) Salsa Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream or homemade cream cheese  with no emulsifiers  Put the egg wrap on a plate and put the beef and beans down the middle of it. Sprinkle with the herbs and spices. Wrap, turn over and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Spoon salsa over the burrito and sprinkle with cheese. Add guacamole and sour cream or homemade crea...

Not Only Cheaper, But Easier

A while back, I wrote about saving money on break time coffee and snacks. I haven't done very well putting it into practice. But a post by James Clear today got me thinking about it again: Warren Buffett uses a two-list system to prioritize things. Check it out --and follow the instructions. Using Buffett's two-list system, two of the goals I ended up with were taking care of myself and saving $400 more per month than I already am. As I said, I've been wanting to save money, and the system made me really focus on this. I came up with 11 money-saving ideas, six of which had to do with food. Buying hamburger in bulk. Ranch Foods Direct sells one-pound packages of 80% lean pastured ground beef in bundles of 20 for a lot less than Whole Foods. Sprouts only carries super-lean beef that's grass-fed, and it's more expensive, too.  Not driving to Whole Foods. Whole Foods is out of my way, and saving a weekly trip saves gas. Coffee at home, tea at work. Tea is fr...

Palpitations Gone with Iron

Thanks to my internet friend Larcana, who alerted me to the connection between iron deficiency and palpitations, I doubled down on my iron supplements and, for good measure, washed them down with Emergen-C. It's a cold medicine with a mega-dose of vitamin C, plus B vitamins and minerals. I don't think vitamin C does anything for a cold (a friend bought the stuff and left it at my house the last time she visited), but vitamin C does help iron absorption. After doubling up on iron in the last three days, I feel back to normal. (I'd already been taking quite a bit of magnesium and potassium, so I probably had sufficient levels of those.) How did I get so low on iron? Maybe it was too many Quest bars instead of red meat when I had odd cravings during my dental infection recently. Maybe because it's too hard to find liver at the grocery store and I haven't eaten much of it lately. Maybe the antibiotics damaged my intestines . And apparently, I'm a heavy bleeder . ...

In Defense of Fast Food

Another modern trend - healthy food should be expensive, not nutrients-dense and preferably exotic, or you would be eating like plebs who live on a dollar McD menu. --Galina L. I don't try to jump over seven-foot hurdles, I look for one-foot hurdles I can step over. --Warren Buffett, pleb who eats at McDonald's Despite all the talk about wild-caught v. farmed, grass-fed v. CAFO and the vilification of fast food, a lot of us plebs benefit simply from carbohydrate restriction. But even though diabetes and obesity are rampant, and carb restriction alone would help millions of people, the impression is out there that you need to eat in a very specific way, far beyond just watching the carbs. Following a low-carb diet is already a high hurdle for many people. If some people want or need to raise the bar for themselves, that's fine with me, but there's no need to turn low-carb into a hurdle that a lot of people can't jump over. Organic produce and grass-fed or p...
