From Dr. Joseph Mercola
Since COVID-19 first entered the scene, trade of concepts has mainly been outlawed. By sharing my views and people from numerous consultants all through the pandemic on COVID therapies and the experimental COVID jabs, I turned a most important goal of the White Home, the political institution and the worldwide cabal.
Propaganda and pervasive censorship have been deployed to grab management over each a part of your life, together with your well being, funds and meals provide. The most important media are key gamers and have been instrumental in creating and fueling concern.
I’m republishing this text in its authentic type so to see how the development unfolded.
Initially revealed: Might 6, 2020
In latest weeks, a number of medical doctors and revealed papers have famous that COVID-19 sufferers who’re placed on ventilators have an elevated threat of demise.1 April 9, 2020, Enterprise Insider reported2 that 80% of COVID-19 sufferers in New York Metropolis who’re positioned on ventilators die, inflicting some medical doctors to query their use.
In accordance with The Related Press,3 “Comparable studies have emerged from China and the UK. One U.Ok. report put the determine at 66%. A really small examine in Wuhan … mentioned 86% died.”
Up to date New York Metropolis Statistics
An April 22, 2020, examine revealed in JAMA describing the outcomes for five,700 sufferers hospitalized with COVID-19 within the New York Metropolis space reported:4
“Mortality charges for individuals who acquired mechanical air flow within the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age teams had been 76.4% and 97.2%, respectively. Mortality charges for these within the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age teams who didn’t obtain mechanical air flow had been 19.8% and 26.6%, respectively. There have been no deaths within the younger-than-18 age group.”
These numbers had been amended shortly thereafter, although. April 26, 2020, CNN Well being reported5 that a mean of 24.5% of sufferers positioned on ventilators died, in comparison with about 20% of those that weren’t ventilated.
Karina Davidson, senior vice chairman of analysis at Northwell Well being, informed CNN her group had determined to “make clear the wording of the report,” and that the figures are being up to date to mirror “what number of [patients] we all know have had an final result and what number of stay within the hospital.” CNN defined:6
“The unique report in JAMA acknowledged that 12% of sufferers required air flow and of them 88% died — however these numbers solely represented a minority of sufferers whose final result was recognized, not the complete physique of sufferers. The up to date numbers embody the entire sufferers, together with those that remained within the hospital on the time the information was gathered on April 4.”
In an April 8, 2020, article, STAT Information reported:7
“What’s driving this reassessment is a baffling commentary about COVID-19: Many sufferers have blood oxygen ranges so low they need to be lifeless. However they’re not gasping for air, their hearts aren’t racing, and their brains present no indicators of blinking off from lack of oxygen.
That’s making vital care physicians suspect that blood ranges of oxygen, which for many years have pushed choices about respiratory help for sufferers with pneumonia and acute respiratory misery, could be deceptive them about the way to take care of these with COVID-19.
Particularly, increasingly are involved about using intubation and mechanical ventilators. They argue that extra sufferers might obtain easier, noninvasive respiratory help, such because the respiratory masks utilized in sleep apnea, at the very least to start out with and perhaps at some point of the sickness.”
Oxygen Is Wanted however Air flow Might Be Inadvisable
Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell, whose video is featured on the high of this text, has famous their sufferers’ signs have extra in widespread with altitude illness than pneumonia.8 Equally, a latest paper9 by Drs. Luciano Gattinone and John Marini describes two several types of COVID-19 shows, which they consult with as Kind L and Kind H.
Whereas one advantages from mechanical air flow, the opposite doesn’t. Dr. Roger Seheult discusses this paper, in addition to the comparability of COVID-19 to excessive altitude pulmonary edema or HAPE, within the MedCram video above.
Within the remaining evaluation, it could end up that ventilators are inappropriate for a majority of sufferers, and medical doctors at UChicago Drugs report10 “actually outstanding” outcomes utilizing high-flow nasal cannulas in lieu of ventilators. As famous in a press launch:11
“Excessive-flow nasal cannulas, or HFNCs, are non-invasive nasal prongs that sit beneath the nostrils and blow giant volumes of heat, humidified oxygen into the nostril and lungs.
A group from UChicago Drugs’s emergency room took 24 COVID-19 sufferers who had been in respiratory misery and gave them HFNCs as a substitute of placing them on ventilators. The sufferers all fared extraordinarily nicely, and solely certainly one of them required intubation after 10 days …
The HFNCs are sometimes mixed with inclined positioning, a way the place sufferers lay on their stomachs to help respiratory. Collectively, they’ve helped UChicago Drugs medical doctors keep away from dozens of intubations and have decreased the probabilities of unhealthy outcomes for COVID-19 sufferers, mentioned Thomas Spiegel, MD, Medical Director of UChicago Drugs’s Emergency Division.
‘The proning and the high-flow nasal cannulas mixed have introduced affected person oxygen ranges from round 40% to 80% and 90%, so it’s been fascinating and fantastic to see,’ Spiegel mentioned …
‘Avoiding intubation is essential,’ Spiegel mentioned. ‘Most of our colleagues across the metropolis aren’t doing this, however I certain want different ERs would check out this method carefully.’”
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Approach
One other much less accessible and extra sophisticated therapy technique that’s exhibiting promise is named extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO. The system entails a fancy circuit of tubes, filters and pumps that oxygenate the affected person’s blood and take away waste merchandise outdoors the physique earlier than pumping it again into circulation.
Steerage12 for using ECMO in COVID-19 therapy was revealed March 30, 2020, within the ASAIO Journal. As a basic rule, ECMO is really helpful for comparatively younger sufferers with few comorbidities who’re failing to reply to ventilator therapy. In accordance with an April 24, 2020 press launch by the College of Michigan:13
“As of April 21 … greater than 470 sufferers with suspected or confirmed instances of COVID-19 have been handled on the ECMO facilities which are sharing their information. Most had been males of their 40s and early 50s. Almost half had weight problems and one-fifth had diabetes.
Most of these positioned on ECMO for COVID-19 are nonetheless on the therapy, which may take weeks to permit the physique to recuperate sufficient for the affected person to operate on their very own. Each second of that point, sufferers have to be beneath the care of groups of educated nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians and physicians …
Sufferers should get evaluated by an ECMO middle and transferred earlier than their situation worsens an excessive amount of. They need to not have been on a ventilator greater than seven days earlier than beginning ECMO, which implies that they need to be thought of for ECMO quickly after the choice to intubate them is made.
‘Regardless of the substantial assets required to take care of sufferers on ECMO, we imagine that is an acceptable technique for chosen sufferers which are in any other case at imminent threat of demise,’ says Jonathan Haft, M.D., medical director of U-M’s ECMO program.”
Hyperbaric Oxygen Remedy
Sadly lacking from the traditional dialog is using hyperbaric oxygen remedy (HBOT) which I imagine could be a wonderful therapy technique. As famous by Dr. Andrew Saul, editor-in-chief of the Orthomolecular Drugs Information Service, in “A Evaluation of Useful Antiviral Methods”:
“Making the oxygen accessible in a means that is acceptable to the severity of the affected person is the reply. We have now to do not forget that our physique is singularly good at taking in oxygen or we would not be right here. And our lungs have an enormous quantity of absorptive house. I imply, that is what they do. It is simply a rare system that now we have.
Oxygen goes in by diffusion. You do not push it in; the physique sucks it in as a result of when you have extra oxygen outdoors than you do inside, it simply goes by. All you do is give numerous absorptive floor. And in case you flattened out all of the little alveoli within the lungs, you’d have an infinite space …
So, by offering the oxygen after which see if the physique will take it up, you have made step one. That may be performed preventively by recent air and train and going out and taking part in …
If anyone wants extra oxygen, and also you wish to give them slightly stress, if that makes the affected person higher, you then do it. However the concept you have to ram this oxygen like a supercharger on a Mustang is, I believe, slightly bit, let’s assume, business pleasant …
[The alveoli] are tiny, tiny little sacks. They’ve a few of the thinnest little membranes you have ever seen. Take a look at them beneath a microscope. They’re very delicate. So, the very last thing you wish to do is add harm to insult.”
Mechanical air flow can simply injury the lungs for the truth that it’s pushing air into the lungs with drive. Throughout HBOT, then again, you’re merely respiratory air or oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which permits your physique to soak up a better share of oxygen.
There’s no airflow being compelled immediately into the lungs. HBOT additionally improves mitochondrial operate, helps with detoxing, inhibits and controls irritation and optimizes your physique’s innate therapeutic capability. You possibly can be taught extra about this in “Hyperbaric Oxygen Remedy as an Adjunct Therapeutic Modality.”
HBOT Trials for COVID-19
We might ultimately hear extra about this, nevertheless, as NYU Langone Well being is presently recruiting COVID-19 sufferers for a examine utilizing HBOT. The examine was posted April 2, 2020. As detailed on ClinicalTrials.gov:14
“This can be a single middle potential pilot cohort examine to judge the protection and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen remedy (HBOT) as an emergency investigational system for treating sufferers with a novel coronavirus, illness, COVID-19 …
The affected person will obtain 90 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen at 2.0 ATA with or with out air breaks per the hyperbaric doctor. Upon completion of the therapy the affected person will then return to the medical unit and proceed all normal of care …
After the intervention portion of this examine, a chart evaluate can be carried out to check the outcomes of intervention sufferers versus sufferers who acquired normal of care.”
Chinese language medical doctors additionally report “promising outcomes” after treating 5 COVID-19 sufferers with HBOT. Two had been in vital situation and 5 had been extreme. As reported by the Worldwide Hyperbarics Affiliation:15
“Hyperbaric oxygen was added to the present complete therapies being carried out on the hospital for COVID-19 affected sufferers, with a dose of 90-120 minutes at therapy pressures of 1.4 to 1 fi.ATA.
The outcomes had been very encouraging as these 5 sufferers acquired important therapeutic advantages, together with fast reduction of signs after the primary session.
The rationale for including this process is to assist fight the progressive hypoxemia (low blood oxygen ranges) that COVID-19 could cause. Hyperbaric oxygen has the flexibility so as to add a considerable provide of additional oxygen into the bloodstream …”
Hospitals Are Main Transmission Websites of SARS-CoV-2
On this video, taped April 17, 2020, Dr. John Ioannidis discusses outcomes from three preliminary research. Importantly, he factors out that nosocomial infections — infections that happen in hospital settings — seem like half and parcel of why the COVID-19 mortality charge is a lot larger in sure areas, similar to Italy, Spain and the New York metropolitan space.
A standard denominator between these areas is an enormous variety of hospital personnel who’re contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 and unfold it to sufferers who’re already in an immune-compromised state.
“Hospitals are the worst place to combat the battle with COVID-19,” he says. “We should always have performed our greatest to maintain folks away from the hospitals if that they had COVID-19 signs, except that they had actually extreme signs.”
In essence, by having so many individuals unnecessarily going to the hospital out of concern, a hospital-chain of infectious transmission was allowed to develop. Many might merely have been handled at residence.
These findings spotlight the necessity for very stringent an infection management measures in hospitals, to keep away from transmission from asymptomatic personnel to sufferers. Additionally they spotlight the necessity to extra fastidiously assess your want for medical care.
Ioannidis stresses that individuals experiencing gentle to reasonable signs of COVID-19 mustn’t rush to the hospital, as they merely improve the chance of infectious transmission to personnel and different extra weak sufferers.
He additionally cites information exhibiting hospital personnel have an estimated 0.3% probability of demise from COVID-19, which is considerably decrease than the three.5% initially cited by the World Well being Group. He additionally factors out that this and different information level to COVID-19 having a fatality charge very near that of seasonal influenza.
This, he says, is nice information for hospital personnel who’ve been working beneath very distressing circumstances, many fearing for his or her lives. Because it seems, such fears seem like vastly exaggerated and uncalled for.
Sepsis Is a Widespread Complication in COVID-19
Whereas treating gentle to reasonable signs at residence could also be advisable, it’s essential to remain vigilant to indicators of sepsis.16 If COVID-19 signs worsen and indicators of sepsis develop — described in “Recognizing the Indicators and Signs of Sepsis” — speedy medical care is required.
Until promptly identified and handled, sepsis can quickly progress to multiple-organ failure and demise. Sepsis is answerable for 20% of deaths worldwide every year, and the cytokine storm response related to sepsis additionally seems to be a major means by which COVID-19 claims the lives of those that are immunocompromised and/or aged.
In accordance with a March 11, 2020, paper17 in The Lancet, 59% of the 191 Chinese language COVID-19 sufferers within the examine developed sepsis, and sepsis was current in 100% of those that died. It was essentially the most generally noticed complication, adopted by respiratory failure, ARDS and coronary heart failure.
