Science About Early Covid Intervention with Peter McCullough, MD (#228)

To vaccine or not to vaccine, that has become a polarizing question. But why is there censorship of early interventions and also of doctors writing scripts for them? Why are we being pitted against each other? Dr. Ruwart has been in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, run for the presidential primary on the Libertarian ticket, and is author of three books, one on how the FDA became what she thinks it is today. This is a tell-it-like-we-think-it conversation. Mary J. Ruwart, Ph.D. chairs a for-profit IRB and is a former research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry.  She has a B.S. in biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Michigan State University. She did post-doctoral work at the St. Louis University Medical School’s Department of Surgery and became an Assistant Professor of Surgery before joining the Upjohn Company.  Science is always changing, and we are in a circumstance that is evolving, but it seems that the “narrative” of much of the media is not representing accurately both sides of the science. Turns out there are details not widely discussed on most TV or radio shows. You will hear some of that here including: Who is most apt to die from Covid and why. What does obesity have to do with it. Is heart damage happening more in vaccinated young adults than from Covid. Why getting two boosters a year exposes you to the “inflammatory spike” protein. The Covid spike protein binds to human tissues than any other animal the bat it derives from, and this is very unusual and makes us wonder about human gain-of-functioning engineering. We are seeing a level of censorship worldwide - bigger than we have ever seen before, even in the medical journals which are thus becoming untrustworthy now. So, in this show we ponder what is going on. Did you know that the Pfizer submission to FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is still under EUA? The full approval has been for Biotech – in this show Dr. R. discusses the difference. You cannot have a vaccine on an EUA if there are already “early effective interventions”. Critical to keep in mind. We discuss the veracity of VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and why this is not being discussed, tracked, and Dr. R’s interpretation of the numbers. Dr. Ruwart believes, teaches, and writes that “Whoever controls your body, controls your mind.” Think, read, question, debate, learn… but stay calm. And informed. Dr. Ruwart says, “If the vaccine works, then you don’t need to worry about an unvaccinated person. If the vaccine doesn’t work, it makes no sense to have a mandate. Especially with something so new.” Dr. Ruwart says the research on the children 5 to 12 years old was done on a group of 2000 children. None in the experiemental nor placebo arm during this time got Covid. 5% of the children were lost to follow-up. Is this enough safety data to inject our children? Dr. Ruwart says it is something to ponder. We discuss blood labs to see if heart damage is occurring and suggest nutraceuticals to take prophylactically, especially in children and young adults, that may be heart-protective - if you decide that moving forward is the best way to go. These are suggestions based on physiology, not studies. Many studies are included below for your personal reading.

Breast implants are a very popular surgery, especially for re-construction after breast cancer. Dr. Whitfield is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in oncologic breast reconstruction. But he was also the doctor to discover that some cases of autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, cognitive decline… start in contaminated breast implants! Dr. Whitfiled completed six years of surgical training at Indiana University Medical Center. Then a Plastic Surgery Residency. And then a Fellowship in Microsurgery and Aesthetic under Dr. William Zamboni. Dr. Whitfield began to have patients that were experiencing systemic illness, and when he removed their implants, called an “explant” procedure, he found identifiable pathogens in the tissue capsule. Treating these infections got rid of many of these systemic problems, such as chronic fatigue. This lead Dr. Whitfield to start to add more services for his clients, including nutritional and nutraceutical advice as well as personal genetic predisposition screening. Dr. Whitfield has completed over 4000 breast procedures since 2004 including over 500 implant removals.  He has the largest series of explant specimens with PCR testing. This tests the genetic sequences of pathogens, so is a highly sensitive test to identify “stealth” infections and find their appropriate medications to eradicate them. While serving as the President Elect of the Research Foundation Dr. Whitfiled also gave testimony at the FDA hearings in 2019 regarding Breast Implant iIlness (BII).

Gut health rules the basis of health. We now know that our gut cross-talks with our heart, brain and all tissues.   If your gut is unhealthy, so is the rest of you!   In this show you will learn:   What functional medicine is and why it’s uniquely qualified to treat chronic illness What are elimination diets and if they’re effective The mind/body connection to illness How your emotional health affects your physical health Why food sensitivities have become so common The benefits of intermittent fasting How a mental, emotional, and spiritual connection to the food you eat influences your health How a low-FODMAP diet can drastically improve your digestive system   New Book: UNFUNC YOUR GUT: Boost Your Immune System, Heal Your Gut, and Unlock Your Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health.        

In this show you will learn how hormones keep not only your skin thicker but waist thinner, but also how estrogen and progesterone are critical for boosting immune health and even treating leaky gut.     Dr. Angela DeRosa is an osteopathic physicians specializing in female health. Dr. DeRosa first got into this field because she went through peri-menopause in her 20’s while attending medical school, and then experienced full-blown menopause at age 35.   When no other doctors could help her, Dr. DeRosa had to figure out how to accomplish that on her own.   As of 2021, Dr. DeRosa has been prescribing bioidentical hormone therapies for 25 years.   Dr. DeRosa also trains physicians.   In 2018, she launched The Hormonal Health Institute: Executive Instruction for MedicalProfessionals, a hormonal healthcare consultancy designed to instruct medical providers and provide practice development training on bioidentical  hormone replacement therapies.   In addition to her educational and clinical activities, Dr. DeRosa serves as the medical director for Belmar Pharma Solutions where she provides clinical and scientific technical support for all aspects hormonal therapies. Belmar pharmacy is the same facility that is “Behari Certified”, fulfilling low-dose-naltrexone scripts for $55 for a three month period.   In this show you will learn:   Males have multiple forms of FDA approved testosterone, while women have known. If the FDA succeeds in blocking compounding pharmacists from compounding bioidentical hormones, there will be NO testosterone replacement available for women! Why testosterone is one of the most important hormones for aging women. How (and why) big pharma is lobbying against bio-identical HRT The importance of custom tailoring hormone treatments instead of using a “one size fits all” approach.   Why your doctor “must” track FSH and SHBG when prescribing you hormones. Why you want to achieve a “pre-menopausal” FSH level, to improve if not normalize your blood pressure, waistline, bone density, cognition and more. Not to mention your vocal cords, to avoid “little old lady” voice. The gender gap in healthcare. How a lack of transparency in the FDA puts patient health at risk. The evidence demonstrating compounded hormones work for millions of people.   This is a must-hear conversation between two amazing women who hormone therapies have saved their own lives as well as patients they collaboratively serve.

In today’s environment, there is science to back both polarized sides. So it is difficult for everyone and anyone to figure out the truth. It takes courage to speak science that might not be the status quo. This show is about courage. On this show you will only hear peer review facts.  We share about protective nasal sprays, how you can make them at home, and much, more. In today’s dynamic dialogue you get to hear one of the most active academic physicians from Dallas, TX, Dr. Peter McCullough. In this show you will hear, backed by facts: What is going on with early intervention. What is going on with the Delta variant and vaccines. Durable immunity. ·      What’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and how and why to interpret this. How to make nasal sprays that block viral adherence in mucous membranes. And more.   Plus, the reminder to eat your veggies.

We live in a polemic world of clashing misinformation. Especially about hormones. Including testosterone. Too many men are taken off Testosterone (T) if they get a diagnosis of prostate cancer or heart disease even though the science shows otherwise. Today’s interview is with Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, Harvard urologist and world expert on Testosterone, who has done much of this science. This is a must hear conversation on hormones and health that you will want to share with your physicians and patients. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler Abraham Morgentaler, MD is an international authority on men’s health and a pioneer in the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men. Dr. Morgentaler’s research is credited with reversing the decades-old belief that testosterone therapy is risky for prostate cancer. Dr. Morgentaler graduated from Harvard College in 1978 and Harvard Medical School in 1982. He completed his residency in 1988 through the Harvard Program in Urology, and then joined the faculty of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. He is currently an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery (Urology) at Harvard Medical School. In 1999, Dr. Morgentaler founded Men's Health Boston, the first center in the US to focus on sexual, reproductive, and hormonal health for men. Dr. Morgentaler was the recipient of the New Investigator Award in 1994 granted by the American Foundation of Urological Disease. Publications Dr. Morgentaler has published over 120 scientific articles on testosterone, prostate cancer, male sexual dysfunction, and male infertility. His work has appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, The Journal of the American Medical Association, Cancer, and The American Journal of Medicine. He is the author of the book Why Men Fake It: The Totally Unexpected Truth About Men and Sex, which has been widely hailed as a groundbreaking exploration of male sexuality. Dr. Morgentaler’s other books include Testosterone For Life: Recharge Your Vitality, Sex Drive, Muscle Mass, and Overall Health, and The Viagra Myth: The Surprising Impact on Love and Relationships. In this show you will learn: That T does NOT drive prostate cancer. How this myth started and has incorrectly affected medicine for 80 years. The known and unknown symptoms of low T. The issue with just looking at total testosterone and why you must run “free testosterone” and also “SHBG”. What lizards and men have in common? The unappreciated role of hormones in overall health and why so often our doctors don’t realize this or take this into consideration when treating us.

Dr. George Fareed Dr. George Fareed is a Harvard trained medical doctor who started out working in virology with Dr. Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases early in his career. Then Dr. Fareed wanted to help the “underserved” and moved from Washington to east of San Diego. This is a highly agricultural area and the residents are mainly of Hispanic descent with a high incidence of health issues that often make them much more vulnerable to severe viral disease. In this population, Dr. Fareed and his colleague, Dr. Brian Tyson, have treated over 7,000 cases of this virus. Their patient population have a high incidences of type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. Remember, these are the very “co-morbidities” that increase the risk of severe cases in the pandemic. Dr. Fareed utilizes “early intervention” as described in the article just published by himself and a number of esteemed medical colleagues below. At the end of August 2021 The national average of being treated in the typical manner, translated into a 9% hospitalization rate if you are over 60 years of age. And if you are under 50 years old, the hospitalization rate is 0.4%. Dr. Fareed’s office had a statistician come in and track the efficacy of his protocol on the first 4,500 patients. The hospitalization rate for Dr. Fareed’s patients who received early treatment was only 0.07%! So… his protocols are keeping vulnerable patients out of hospitals. The question becomes, “Why is early intervention being censored? Not available? Why are Doctors who talk and write about early treatment worried they might have to go before their medical board?” What is Next Dr. Fareed is leaving to go to the Rome Covid World Summits in a few weeks and will come back on the show to share what was discussed by viral experts around the world. Keep an eye out for Dr. Fareed's upcoming book talking about his journey in the treatment of pandemic patients.

Looking for Safe Options for Severe Pain When you are in severe pain what are your safest options? How do you not become worse down the road from short-term fixes? Consider regenerative medicine. My Personal Experience A few months ago, I was supposed to fly from Austin, Texas to Houston to give an 8-hour continuing medical education, all-day class, for physicians. But a few days before all this, I woke up with my right leg so, in pain, I could not walk let alone stand! I called Dr. David Harris, a Board-Certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Board-Certified Pain Medicine specialist, who specializes in safe regenerative procedures. Usually, Dr. Harris is booked for up to 9 months, but there was an atypical cancellation. Most patients would get a steroid epidural. But as we age, we get more complicated. As I have shared before, I have an eye condition that cannot handle steroids. Thus, Dr. Harris, a pain “whisperer” (but all based in science), created a safer alternative epidural made of ozone, B12, sterile homeopathic Traumel, with a dash of steroid. I was then able to fly, stand and lecture all day, and go on to live my regular life without pain or disability. It all happened at Dr. Harris’s clinic called “Charm”: The Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine. They provide “non-surgical” answers for pain that help joints heal without making them worse in the long run, as repetitive steroid treatments have now been shown to do. (If you watch this interview on YouTube, that’s the table where it happened.) Dr. David K. Harris is a physiatrist in Austin, Texas. Physiatrists are physicians who specialize in helping patients with disabilities. Without surgery. Their focus is rehabilitation, restoration of function, and a return to a high quality of life. The clinic offers prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell injections. Dr. Harris’s wife is a physical therapist, so this is one-stop shopping. Their PA, Michelle Hall is a superb practitioner, too. I witnessed first-hand how helpful this medicine can be. Ten years ago I referred a 60-year-old man with half his rotator cuff missing, who had not been able to move his arm for 6 months. All other doctors insisted that his only option was to have surgery. Shoulder surgery is not for the faint of heart. With very long recovery times. Dr. Harris, avoiding surgery, performed his special medical regenerative injections. Within three months, that man’s shoulder was as good as new and continues to be up to today. All without painful, expensive surgery or drugs. There are only about 187 doctors nationally who do what Dr. Harris has learned to do, and many of these doctors have been trained by Dr. Harris. Got pain? Consider regenerative medicine and the Charm clinic in Austin, Texas. Links Charm Clinic
