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.

Dana Carpender's Podcast; Dr. Davis on YouTube; Labor Day Sales

Dana Carpender, who's written several recipe books and other works on low-carb, has a podcast and is still writing articles at carbsmart.com. She's a terrific writer and amateur researcher (otherwise known as reading , as Jimmy Dore jokes ). I use her book 500 Low-Carb Recipes all the time and I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. I've embedded her podcast on my blog (click on the three lines at the top right if you don't see it, or go to Spotify or other podcast source if you're getting this by email). Carbsmart.com doesn't seem to have a blog feed, so if you want to see the latest posts there, you can sign up for notifications at their site. Dr. Davis has been putting a lot more videos on YouTube, so I've added his channel to the lineup.

Fermented bread and butter pickle recipe ft. L. Plantarum

After Dr. Davis said the other night that L. plantarum may reduce some of the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (which is everywhere), I'm re-running my recipe for fermented bread and butter pickles. Pickling cucumbers naturally have L. plantarum bacteria on them, and fermenting them with some brown sugar multiplies these bacteria. (Just don't use chlorinated water to wash them.) And if you're growing your own cucumbers, avoid spraying the fruits with Bacillus thuringiensis , or Bt (leaves and vines are OK). It's unclear what effect a big dose of Bt would have on humans. Another benefit of DIY pickles: no emulsifiers like polysorbate 80, which is a common ingredient in pickles. If you have GI problems, it could be from emulsifiers. These sweet-and-sour pickles are the tastiest I've ever made. There's just a little added sugar (some of which the bacteria will consume) and turmeric that gives the pickles their bright color. Special equipment Quar...

Cardio: A Waste of Valuable Dance Time

"I'd rather hold a girl in my arms than a football." -Joe DeCicco, friend and dancing fanatic Have you heard that it takes a woman 77 hours of exercise to lose a kilogram of fat? (For us Americans, that's half a pound.) That's according to a study cited by Dr. John Briffa .(1) The women who huffed and puffed three hours a week for a year ended up 4.4 pounds lighter than the sedentary women. That doesn't surprise me: my own weight loss involved a lot less exercise than what I'd been doing. I did no cardio workouts, just strength training . I had more time and energy for dancing, which is a stress reliever, helps keep me in shape, and it's a ton of fun. It's not expensive to dance (as long as you stay away from the studios). I've found excellent lessons at clubs where the teachers really care about the students getting it. Here in Denver, there are dancing clubs that are run by nonprofit organizations, where the prices are reasonable and...

Avoiding a Nightmare by Using Math

The answer lies in trigonometry. -Sherlock Holmes Don't worry if you never learned trigonometry--the answers here lie in arithmetic. Medical test results often come back positive or negative, as if the result were a certainty. Of course, there is the accuracy, but if the accuracy is 99% or so, what does that really mean? That you should get your affairs in order? Before you call your probate attorney, let's take an example from the book Calculated Risks by Gerd Gigerenzer. Let's say you're a 40-something year old woman with no symptoms of breast cancer. You have a positive mammogram. What are the odds you have breast cancer? Using some assumptions about test accuracy and rates of disease based on real data, the odds that you'd have breast cancer are one in eleven according to Gigerenzer. (If you were way off, don't feel bad--most of the physicians Gigerenzer tested were way off, too--and they had the data in front of them. Not that that's comforting in every...

Lousy Mood? It Could be the Food

Here's a funny AMV(1) on what it's like to be depressed, apathetic and overly sensitive. Note: explicit (but funny) lyrics in the video. Hearing this song brought a startling realization: I used to be emo, but with normal clothes. Sulking, sobbing and writing poetry were my hobbies. When I was a kid, my mother said that she wouldn't know what to do to punish me if I had done something wrong. And yet things got worse. Over a two-week period in 1996, my best friend moved away, I lost my job and broke up with my boyfriend. I lost my appetite and lived on a daily bagel, cream cheese and a Coke for the next few months. I had tried counseling, and didn't find it helpful; in fact, I found reviving painful memories was pointless. Not thinking about them, on the other hand, worked wonders. Later on, so did studying philosophy and learning to think through emotions instead of just riding through them. But what's blown away all the techniques is diet. Since I s...
