Between 250K to 440K will die as a result of medical errors in America https://cnb.cx/33DF9cg
two decades worth of analysis reveals that over 100K Americans will die because of taking prescription drugs. A recent study states that the figure is close to 128K. https://bit.ly/39cYtOw
This article from the NCBI database states that 100K Americans died as a result of medical errors, and it’s dated 1999. https://bit.ly/3dxoRGy
We have not mentioned Cancer, smoking and cardiovascular diseases, all of which kill millions per year. What about the innocent children dying every day? They don’t matter. What’s shocking is that the other viruses that were deadlier did not even receive the same amount of attention. When all the above data is taken into consideration, the COVID 19 deaths in the US, while serious is nothing we should be panicking over.
Don’t focus only on the number of deaths but look at the mortality rate and then compare it to that of COVID-19.
Let’s take a closer look at the situation in the U.S. and New York
The U.S. is finally ramping up testing, and hopefully, every state starts to open up drive through testing centres like N.Y. New York finally decided to emulate South Korea. Based on the above figures, the overall death rate for the U.S. across all age groups is 3 percent, a far cry from the gloom and doom all the self-appointed experts have been laying out. Several thousand children under the age of five will die today, and yet no one declares an emergency for those poor children who are completely defenceless.
Let’s zoom in to New York the epicentre
Given all doom and gloom projections, the death rates in California should be higher than in New York. New York is an anomaly because the Governor and the mayor were asleep at the wheel and a large number of deaths were reported from nursing homes. However, despite over 670K individuals in California being infected with COVID, the mortality rate is only 1.8%. The overall death rate across of all age groups in South Korea now stands at 1.7% based on the latest data obtained from worldmeters.com and it’s quite comparable to that of California.
So pray do tell, where do these experts, including the governor and mayor of NYC, get off by issuing such gloomy forecasts. Taking action is one thing but fostering an atmosphere that is driven by fear is not the way to deal with such a situation.
China has ended the lockdown so that has to be viewed through a bullish lens and they continue to spray neighbourhoods with disinfectants to knock out the coronavirus. Even Indonesia is doing this, and we suspect a host of other nations will follow suit. Why are America and the rest of the West not adopting a similar strategy? It seems that Asian countries are leading the way in terms of taking a novel approach when it comes to dealing with this virus.
None of the data at hand supports the outrageous claims many officials and experts are putting forth. While the COVID 19 deaths in the US are trending upwards, they don’t even come close to matching the death rate of cancer, smoking, cardiovascular-related deaths, etc.
New York City, which is now the epicentre for America, has a remarkably low death rate. The media and duly elected officials should be broadcasting this information all over the place, to show the crowd that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. However, they seemed fixated on broadcasting only one side of the picture.

Fears that thousands of people could storm Area 51 on Friday were unfounded, with just several dozen arriving at the secretive US military base.
Millions had responded to a Facebook post in June calling for people to raid the facility in Nevada on 20 September to “see them aliens”.
But nobody attempted to enter the site and only one person was arrested – for urinating near the gate.
Area 51 has long been rumoured to house secrets about extraterrestrial life.
Why are people talking about Area 51?
In June, Matty Roberts, a student from California, posted a tongue-in-cheek Facebook event inviting people to charge at the base in large enough numbers to bypass security.
Within days of its launch, the event became a viral sensation, making headlines across the world. More than three million people expressed an interest in taking part.
The US Air Force warned that Area 51 was “an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces”.
What happened on Friday?
Not a lot.
Despite much anticipation surrounding the event, only around 75 people turned up at the front gate and nobody attempted to enter.
The only person to be arrested was a man caught urinating near the entrance and a woman was detained for an undisclosed reason, Associated Press reported.
The “raid” was more of a small-scale celebration, with enthusiasts dressing up and holding placards. Full Story

China speeds ahead of U.S. as quantum race escalates, worrying scientists
U.S. and other Western scientists voice awe, and even alarm, at China’s quickening advances and spending on quantum communications and computing, revolutionary technologies that could give a huge military and commercial advantage to the nation that conquers them. The concerns echo — although to a lesser degree — the shock in the West six decades ago when the Soviets launched the Sputnik satellite, sparking a space race. In quick succession, China, in recent months, has utilized a quantum satellite to transmit ultra-secure data, inaugurated a 1,243-mile quantum link between Shanghai and Beijing, and announced a $10 billion quantum computing center. “To me, what is alarming is the level of coordination of what they’ve done,” said Christopher Monroe, a physicist and pioneer in quantum communication at the University of Maryland.

Another confirmation that China is destined to be new the powerhouse and will probably hold this title for over 100 years after it moves to the top spot. China has focussed on developing trade; their second focus has been their military as they are primarily merchants at heart. They are going to win this battle for one reason; at the end of the day, they are going to have the biggest purse. As the saying goes “money talks and BS walks.”
Xi Tells Zuckerberg and Cook China’s Set for ‘Unprecedented’ Reform
Chinese President Xi Jinping used a meeting with Facebook Inc. founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook to announce that his nation is embarking on reform with “unprecedented determination and vigor.”
Less than a week into his second five-year term at the helm of the world’s second-largest economy, Xi’s remarks may underscore a shift toward loosening of restrictions on doing business in China. The nation is “willing to work with the U.S.,” Xi said, according to an official Xinhua report, adding that he’s looking forward to President Donald Trump’s visit next week.
Though use of Facebook’s social networking platform is blocked in China, the leadership from Xi down have increased pledges to open up to foreign companies across the economy. Xi was speaking at an event with overseas members of the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management advisory board on Monday.
“China is willing to work with the US, to take a long-term perspective, care for each other’s mutual interests, and appropriately handle disagreements and contradictions,” Xi said. “We have an optimistic attitude toward the prospects for China-U.S. relations.” Full Story
This is the trend we have been speaking off for a while and which we just addressed in the last interim update. Asia led by China will move and more towards the direction of free markets and freedom, while the US will and the West will seek to restrain the populace.
The New Silk Road will go through Syria
Take what happened this past Sunday in Beijing. The China-Arab Exchange Association and the Syrian Embassy organized a Syria Day Expo crammed with hundreds of Chinese specialists in infrastructure investment. It was a sort of mini-gathering of the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), billed as “The First Project Matchmaking Fair for Syria Reconstruction”.
And there will be serious follow-ups: a Syria Reconstruction Expo; the 59th Damascus International Fair next month, where around 30 Arab and foreign nations will be represented; and the China-Arab States Expo in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui province, in September.
Amid the proverbial doom and gloom pervading all things Syria, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune sometimes yield, well, good fortune.

Qin Yong, deputy chairman of the China-Arab Exchange Association, announced that Beijing plans to invest $2 billion in an industrial park in Syria for 150 Chinese companies.
Nothing would make more sense. Before the tragic Syrian proxy war, Syrian merchants were already incredibly active in the small-goods Silk Road between Yiwu and the Levant. The Chinese don’t forget that Syria controlled overland access to both Europe and Africa in ancient Silk Road times when, after the desert crossing via Palmyra, goods reached the Mediterranean on their way to Rome. After the demise of Palmyra, a secondary road followed the Euphrates upstream and then through Aleppo and Antioch.
Beijing always plans years ahead. And the government in Damascus is implicated at the highest levels. So, it’s not an accident that Syrian Ambassador to China Imad Moustapha had to come up with the clincher: China, Russia and Iran will have priority over anyone else for all infrastructure investment and reconstruction projects when the war is over.

Technology could help UBS cut workforce by 30 percent: CEO in magazine
ZURICH (Reuters) – Swiss bank UBS <UBSG.S> could shed almost 30,000 workers in the years ahead due to technological advances in the banking industry, Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti said in a magazine interview.
Ermotti told Bloomberg Markets that “process-oriented” companies see scope to cut workforces in half through new technology but he believed the true number for banks was around half that. “If you look at UBS, we employ a meaningful amount of people— almost 95,000, including contractors,” Ermotti said. “You can have 30 percent less, but the jobs are going to be much more interesting jobs, where the human content is crucial to the delivery of the service.”
Ermotti said the coming decade would be heavily influenced by technology, as the previous one was marked by regulation.
“It’s not the Big Bang; it’s going to be very gradual,” he said. “But you’re going to be faster — much more efficient, proficient. Instead of serving 50 clients, you’ll be able to serve 100 and in a more sophisticated way.”
Consultancy Accenture <ACN.N> said in May that three-quarters of bankers surveyed believed artificial intelligence (AI) will become the primary way banks interact with their customers within the next three years. Full Story

RBI keeps repo rate unchanged but frees up more liquidity
The Reserve Bank of India held its policy rate steady near seven-year lows on Wednesday after inflation surged, but still looked to prop up the cooling economy by spurring banks into lending more.
The decision to keep the repo rate at 6.00 percent had been widely expected, with all but three of 60 analysts polled by Reuters predicting the RBI would stand pat after cutting the rate by 25 basis points (bps) in August. But in a concession to the weakening economy, which is growing at its slowest pace in over three years, policymakers surprised markets by taking steps to release more liquidity into the financial system.
The RBI said it would lower the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) — the amount of bonds that banks must set aside with the central bank — by 50 bps to 19.50 percent from mid-October. It had lowered the ratio by the same amount in June. Full Story
If you look around, central bankers are talking tough, but they are all talk and no action. The Majority of central banks from Japan to South Africa are an opting to leave rates unchanged. We wonder why? Well not really, as we have been stating all along, that anyone with a pea for a brain realises that this economic recovery is as bogus as they come. Remove the easy money and the glorious recovery vanishes.
The Philippines just joined the club of central bankers that see no reason to raise rates.
Philippine central bank Governor Nestor Espenilla said contained inflation means there isn’t a need to increase interest rates in the near term. “Right now there is no need to move policy rates looking at the inflation outlook,” Espenilla said in Washington where he was attending the annual International Monetary Fund meetings. “It might be too much of an anticipation to say we will raise interest rates at the next review.” Full Story

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has announced the endorsement of one of Iowa’s last two uncommitted Democratic elected officials, state Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald.
“She’s the one I think can address the biggest problems we have, and that is the hollowing out of the middle class,” Fitzgerald said in an interview with The Associated Press. “She’s clear, you understand her message, and I want her fighting for me and all of us.”
Fitzgerald was an early supporter of then-Sen. Barack Obama, who went on to win the presidency. Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller also supported Obama but is endorsing Montana Gov. Steve Bullock for 2020. Iowa’s last remaining uncommitted statewide elected Democrat is Auditor Rob Sand.
Asked what stood out about Warren in a field of Democrats often aligned on key issues, Fitzgerald declared that Warren “is a Democrat, she is a capitalist, and she wants to make our system work.” He said he’d do whatever the Warren campaign needed to help her win the caucuses.
Warren’s organization is seen as one of the strongest in Iowa, but compared with the other top-tier contenders in the field Warren has been relatively slow to roll out endorsements in the state. After a trickle of endorsement announcements, her first major haul of supporters in Iowa came out just last week, after her strong performance in the primary debate in Houston.
Fitzgerald marks Warren’s 25th Iowa endorsement and her sixth endorsement from an Iowa elected official. Full Story

Facing US ban, Huawei emerging as stronger tech competitor
SHENZHEN, China (AP) — Long before President Donald Trump threatened to cut off Huawei’s access to U.S. technology, the Chinese telecom equipment maker was pouring money into research that reduces its need for American suppliers.
Huawei’s founder says instead of crippling the company, the export curbs are making it a tougher competitor by forcing managers to focus resources on their most important products.
Little-known to Americans, Huawei Technologies Ltd. is the No. 2 smartphone brand worldwide and the biggest maker of switching gear at the heart of phone networks. Its equipment is used by 45 of the 50 biggest global phone carriers.
Huawei is a pioneer in the emerging field of next-generation, or 5G, telecoms. It promises not just faster internet but support for self-driving cars and other futuristic applications. That fuels Western security concerns and makes 5G politically sensitive. The U.S. claims the company might aid Chinese spying, though Huawei denies that and American officials have provided no evidence.
Huawei needs some American innovations, especially Google services used on Android phones, but industry experts say the company is increasingly self-sufficient after spending 485 billion yuan ($65 billion) on research and development over the past decade.
“They have a strategy to become completely independent from U.S. technology. And in many areas they have become independent,” said Bengt Nordstrom of North Stream, a research firm in Stockholm. Full Story

Trudeau news: Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has retained power in a narrow Canadian election win but he will now be prime minister of a minority government.
The Liberals are projected to win 157 seats, 13 short of a majority, and will find it harder to pass legislation in Mr Trudeau’s second term.
The opposition Conservatives are expected to win the popular vote but have not translated that into seats.
They are projected to take 121, up from the 95 they held before.
Although Monday night’s results saw a sharp decline in seats for the country’s left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP), its leader, Jagmeet Singh, could become the kingmaker.
The NDP is projected to take 24 seats in the 338-seat parliament.
Quebec’s separatist party, the Bloc Québécois, which competes only in that province, fared much better. It is expected to take 32 seats, compared to the 10 it won in 2015.
Turnout is currently listed at 66%.
The federal election was seen as a referendum on Mr Trudeau, who had a bumpy first term, tainted by scandal.
Mr Trudeau told cheering supporters in Montreal that voters had “rejected division and negativity… and they rejected cuts and austerity and voted in favour of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change”.
He said: “Thank you for having faith in us to move our country in the right direction.”
And to those who did not back him, he promised his party would govern for everyone. Full Story

Tap water quality investigation: MONTREAL (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have been unwittingly exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water, with contamination in several cities consistently higher than they ever were in Flint, Michigan, according to an investigation that tested drinking water in hundreds of homes and reviewed thousands more previously undisclosed results.
Residents in some homes in Montreal, a cosmopolitan city an hour north of the U.S.-Canada border, and Regina, in the flat western prairies, are among those drinking and cooking with tap water with lead levels that exceed Canada’s federal guidelines. The investigation found some schools and daycares had lead levels so high that researchers noted it could impact children’s health. Exacerbating the problem, many water providers aren’t testing at all.
It wasn’t the Canadian government that exposed the scope of this public health concern.
A yearlong investigation by more than 120 journalists from nine universities and 10 media organizations, including The Associated Press and the Institute for Investigative Journalism at Concordia University in Montreal, collected test results that properly measure exposure to lead in 11 cities across Canada. Out of 12,000 tests since 2014, one-third — 33% — exceeded the national safety guideline of 5 parts per billion; 18% exceeded the U.S. limit of 15 ppb.
In a country that touts its clean, natural turquoise lakes, sparkling springs and rushing rivers, there are no national mandates to test drinking water for lead. And even if agencies do take a sample, residents are rarely informed of contamination. Full Story

What part of the brain controls emotions: However, the biggest threat is going to be a system that directly stimulates the parts of the brain that control pleasure. It’s going to be the most addictive drug on the planet, and it will be (totally)legal and the masters will control the masses like never before. The excerpts posted from an insightful article will save us time and give you a clue as to what lies in store for the masses in the future.
In the 1950s, the psychologists James Olds and Peter Milner modified the chamber so that a lever press would deliver direct brain stimulation through deep implanted electrodes. What resulted was perhaps the most dramatic experiment in the history of behavioral neuroscience: Rats would press the lever as many as 7,000 times per hour to stimulate their brains. This was a pleasure center, a reward circuit, the activation of which was much more powerful than any natural stimulus.
A series of subsequent experiments revealed that rats preferred pleasure circuit stimulation to food (even when they were hungry) and water (even when they were thirsty).
Focus on the last part of the above sentence and on the paragraph below, for it highlights the power of pleasure to overrule everything. Humans will do whatever is deemed necessary in order to gain access to a machine that provides this level of pleasure and in doing so they will sign whatever document has to be signed giving up whatever little privacy they desperately cling onto today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r-ci4iybt8
Self-stimulating male rats would ignore a female in heat and would repeatedly cross foot-shock-delivering floor grids to reach the lever. Female rats would abandon their newborn nursing pups to continually press the lever. Some rats would self-stimulate as often as 2000 times per hour for 24 hours, to the exclusion of all other activities. They had to be unhooked from the apparatus to prevent death by self-starvation. Pressing that lever became their entire world.
Perhaps the most egregious example was reported in a paper entitled “Septal stimulation for the initiation of heterosexual behavior in a homosexual male,” published in 1972. The rationale behind this experiment was that because stimulation of the septal area evoked pleasure, if it was combined with heterosexual imagery it could “bring about heterosexual behavior in a fixed, overt homosexual male.”
And so Patient B-19, a 24-year-old male homosexual of average intelligence who suffered from depression and obsessive-compulsive tendencies, was wheeled into the operating room. Electrodes were implanted at nine different sites in deep regions of his brain, and three months were allowed to pass after the surgery to allow for healing. Initially stimulation was delivered to all nine electrodes in turn. However, only the electrode implanted in the septum produced pleasurable sensations. When Patient B-19 was finally allowed free access to the stimulator, he quickly began mashing the button like an 8-year-old playing Donkey Kong. According to the paper,
“During these sessions, B-19 stimulated himself to a point that, both behaviorally and introspectively, he was experiencing an almost overwhelming euphoria and elation and had to be disconnected despite his vigorous protests.”
Lest anyone think that it is only men — creatures of inherently base urges — who would respond in this manner, another recorded case, performed by a different group, involved a woman who received an electrode implant in her thalamus, an adjacent deep brain structure, to control chronic pain. This technique has proven effective for some patients whose severe pain is not well-controlled by drugs. However, in this patient the stimulation spread to nearby brain structures, producing an intense pleasurable and sexual feeling:
“At its most frequent, the patient self-stimulated throughout the day, neglecting her personal hygiene and family commitments. A chronic ulceration developed at the tip of the finger used to adjust the amplitude dial and she frequently tampered with the device in an effort to increase the stimulation amplitude. At times she implored her family to limit her access to the stimulator, each time demanding its return after a short hiatus.”
So, not to put too fine a point on it, these patients responded just like Olds and Milner’s rats. Given the chance, they would stimulate their pleasure circuits to the exclusion of all else. You can read the full story by copying and pasting the link in your browser. http://bit.ly/2QfseXT
Brain Control With An AI interface
The new models will be run with AI programs monitoring to see which dosage is the most effective and what part of the brain can be stimulated the most and finally what stimulation makes you more susceptible to manipulation. People will willingly sign the contract without reading them. The average person will be hooked on the spot and just to make things appear fair, almost everyone will be given a free 30-60 day money-back guarantee, but 90% will not need more than 1 hour to make up their minds. They will sign whatever disclaimer is needed to get the pleasure they seek.
Social media was the first step of this experiment, as it has been shown that social media leads to increase secretion of dopamine. It’s a vicious cycle. More dopamine release creates the need for even more stimulation, and that is why so many people are addicted to their smartphones. Nature seems to have hardwired our brains to react to a host of factors that have a direct effect on the pleasure centres of the brain, from crack to wine, from sex to meditation and the list goes on.
The easiest individuals to manipulate are the ones that wear their emotions on their sleeves. Makes us wonder if this whole Alt-right and Alt-left setup act is just the prelude to the main act. What a way to end all things by offering a solution to heal the massive fissures created as a result of the polarisation wars. Food for thought.
Additional research illustrates how powerful the urge to experience “pleasure” is in animals and by default, humans and why the big players want to alienate individuals and why communities are dying. A sense of belonging to a group or community helps one deal with, and overcome such types of addictions.
With No Sense of Belonging Pleasure Impulses Increase
Alexander’s experiments, in the 1970s, have come to be called the “Rat Park.1 Researchers had already proved that when rats were placed in a cage, all alone, with no other community of rats, and offered two water bottles—one filled with water and the other with heroin or cocaine—the rats would repetitively drink from the drug-laced bottles until they all overdosed and died. Like pigeons pressing a pleasure lever, they were relentless, until their bodies and brains were overcome, and they died.
But Alexander wondered: is this about the drug or might it be related to the setting they were in? To test his hypothesis, he put rats in “rat parks,” where they were among others and free to roam and play, to socialize and to have sex. And they were given the same access to the same two types of drug-laced bottles. When inhabiting a “rat park,” they remarkably preferred the plain water. Even when they did imbibe from the drug-filled bottle, they did so intermittently, not obsessively, and never overdosed. A social community beat the power of drug. http://bit.ly/2PPrwBs

What part of the brain controls emotions?
The brain is a very complex organ. It controls and coordinates everything from the movement of your fingers to your heart rate. The brain also plays a crucial role in how you control and process your emotions.
Experts still have a lot of questions about the brain’s role in a range of emotions, but they’ve pinpointed the origins of some common ones, including fear, anger, happiness, and love.
Read on to learn more about what part of the brain controls emotions.
Where do emotions come from?
The limbic system is a group of interconnected structures located deep within the brain. It’s the part of the brain that’s responsible for behavioral and emotional responses.
Scientists haven’t reached an agreement about the full list of structures that make up the limbic system, but the following structures are generally accepted as part of the group:
Hypothalamus. In addition to controlling emotional responses, the hypothalamus is also involved in sexual responses, hormone release, and regulating body temperature.
Hippocampus. The hippocampus helps preserve and retrieve memories. It also plays a role in how you understand the spatial dimensions of your environment.
Amygdala. The amygdala helps coordinate responses to things in your environment, especially those that trigger an emotional response. This structure plays an important role in fear and anger.
Limbic cortex. This part contains two structures, the cingulate gyrus and the parahippocampal gyrus. Together, they impact mood, motivation, and judgement. Full Story
What part of the brain controls emotions?
We are emotional beings. From happiness to sadness, fear, anger, love, and everything in between.
These feelings seem to happen automatically and sometimes feel outside the realm of our control. But emotions are very much a mental process.
Have you ever thought about what part of the brain controls emotions?
We know all about the brain centers that control breathing, balance, and speech.
But what the less tangible aspects of our behavior? What about our emotions?
Here’s all you need to know about what part of the brain controls emotions.
The prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning future action.
So if you thought about robbing a bank, your prefrontal cortex would help you process the idea and connect it to an appropriate emotional response.
Your emotional response is generated in the amygdala. Feelings of anxiety and fear would likely motivate you to change your mind.
If the amygdala is damaged, you lose control of base impulses. In fact, you may even begin to act in an inappropriate way. Disinhibited behavior, hypersexuality, and risk-taking are behavioral consequences of a damaged amygdala.
The left hemisphere of the brain processes while the right hemisphere identifies. For example, if you felt as if you were falling in love, your right hemisphere would identify the feeling, but your left hemisphere would help you decide on how to act. Full Story
During instruction on three distinct discrimination issues from the visual water activity, all humans could achieve a standard of 8/10 appropriate trials. However, 2VO creatures took more to learn every issue and demonstrated diminished performance in a difficult memory investigation. Here is the first study to show that MB attenuates memory and learning deficits brought on by carotid occlusion and other ways to improve the immune system.
The results imply that MB could possibly be good for conditions including chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, such as mild cognitive impairment, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. https://bit.ly/2QCLDD4 Additionally, once the initial signs of influenza begin to attest, I place undiluted 3 percent solution in the ears for 5-15 minutes.
How to improve immune system: My Way
I wait patiently until the bubbling ceases before going into another ear. I’ve either ceased influenza dead in its tracks or enhanced the healing period by 50%. The Way to enhance your immune system: from the box plans The concentration of H2O2 necessary to kill half of the germs present in 15 s was 1.8 M (6%) but dropped to 0.3 M (1%) at 2 minutes, to 10 mM (0.03percent ) in 1 h, and also to 0.2 mM (0.0007%) using a 24-h vulnerability. The results imply that if elevated levels of H2O2 could be sustained for extended intervals, H2O2 is an effective bactericidal agent, as well as the existence of LP and SCN- shields streptococci against killing by H2O2. https://bit.ly/33y8B3t Olive leaf extract: Organic antiviral agent MB is also capable to excite sugar metabolism in states with no oxygen and increase the quantity of NAD+ generated by mitochondria [5, 4 ].
This is likely going to be the most contentious of all materials listed here. Please be aware that I’m not telling you exactly what to do nor I’m advocating that you follow in my footsteps. What brought me to the substance has been its nootropic role, its antibacterial and antiviral action. My liver enzymes were slightly high four decades back, so I decided to try this specific product: four weeks after my ALT, that was (marginally elevated) not just normalised but was at the ideal selection.
My AST, that was within the standard selection, also moved into the perfect selection. I’ve been carrying MB off and on for more than four years without any negative outcomes. More especially, MB can contribute electrons into coenzyme Q and maybe to cytochrome C, thereby raising cytochrome oxidase (complex IV) activity and oxygen intake. In case you need to practice social bookmarking, you could always pick up the telephone or use skype or even WhatsApp to speak with a loved one or friend. Do not sit and anxiety; speaking about a problem helps alleviate anxiety. B complex: includes many positive aspects, among which will be to help one deal with anxiety. Before we proceed, I would like to make it apparent; we aren’t advocating or saying that you ought to take one or more of these supplements given below.
We’re supplying data that you analyse as we constantly do; our stance will likely forever stay the same. We do not tell folks what to dowe supply information, then you determine how you’re going to utilize that info. Should you disagree with a few or all the info listed under, that is the best, and we aren’t going to argue with you. Listen to music The researchers confirmed the oxidising agent H2O2 efficiently inactivates both the DNA and RNA viruses. Then they demonstrated the peroxide inactivation did not impact greatly on immunogenicity. https://bit.ly/2Qzv36Zhttps://ebay.to/3dlGmJwhttps://amzn.to/3aat6 H2O2 at a three percent concentration inactivated each of the viruses under study contained in 1–30 min. Coronavirus and flu viruses have been found to be sensitive. H2O2 is a convenient way for virus inactivation. https://bit.ly/2WyAU00
How to get a healthy immune system:
Honey Mumio or also Called mumijo Generally, I eat abnormally considerable quantities of sugar through honey, chocolates and fruits which include three or fewer components. It ought to consume sugar, cocoa, cocoa derivatives to the many are fine, milk, and fruits or nuts ). But I eat no bread or some other wheat-based products. I ceased all wheat intake in 2013, and ever since that time, I doubled my average all-natural sugar intake. In this time, I seen the Dentist merely double; on both events since they kept pestering me to come in to get a checkup. Another advantage of not swallowing any wheat is I obviously lost all extra weight and that I weigh exactly the same as I did in 19.
The healing property of honey is a result of the simple fact that it offers antibacterial action, maintains a moist wound illness, and its own high viscosity can help to offer a protective barrier to stop the disease. Its immunomodulatory home is pertinent to wound repair also. The antimicrobial activity in many kinds of honey is a result of the enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide. However, another sort of honey, known as non-peroxide honey (viz., manuka honey), shows significant antibacterial effects when the hydrogen peroxide action is blocked. Its mechanism might be associated with the low pH amount of honey along with its high sugar content (high osmolarity) which is sufficient to inhibit the development of microbes. The medical-grade honey has powerful in vitro bactericidal action against antibiotic-resistant germs causing many life-threatening infections to people. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University working together with colleagues in the spin-out company Najit Technologies printed in vivo data demonstrating the usefulness of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based method of creating inactivated viral pathogens. Studies in mice revealed that H2O2-inactivated viral vaccines from lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), smallpox, as well as West Nile virus, triggered elevated titres of both virus-specific CD8+ T cells or neutralising antibodies and supplied long-term defence against subsequent challenge with lethal doses of their various pathogen.
Additionally, the fraction full of glycerol ethers/wax esters shown a substantial growth-promoting action in permanent neuronal PC12 cells. It’s concluded that this new Mumijo prep has different and marked neuroprotective action, quite likely as a result of material of glycerol ether derivatives. https://bit.ly/2QADuif I’m only talking the things below because I had been requested by numerous readers what I’m doing in regard to the coronavirus. For the ones that are prepared to experiment the info listed below may prove to be of interest. I am not advocating you do so, but I have used these materials for many years and continue to utilize them. I am prepared to push the envelope provided there’s information to back up a publication treatment. Mumijo training are successfully employed for the prevention and therapy for infectious diseases; they also exhibit immune-stimulating and antiallergic action too. In the current study, we explore the chemical makeup and the gastrointestinal capacity of some Mumijo(-related) product accumulated from Antarctica. Extensive purification and chemical analysis demonstrated the fossil samples are a combination of glycerol derivatives. A very simple test to determine whether honey is from a fantastic source. https://bit.ly/3a9hAdR Methylene blue (MB) spans the adrenal barrier and in low doses functions as an electron cycler from the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. Past studies implicate MB in the two memory augmentation and neuroprotection. 2VO rats showed greater performance in the visual water activity without showing differences generally motor action, visually guided swimming skill or odour recognition. Daily MB attenuated the shortages in visual memory and learning which led to cerebrovascular insufficiency.
A little bit of Vitamin C may also be helpful. Honey is among the most valued and appreciated organic products introduced to humanity since early times. Honey is utilized not just as a nutrient product but also in wellness described in conventional medicine and as an alternate remedy for clinical conditions that range from wound healing to cancer therapy. The intention of this review will be to emphasise the capability of honey along with its abundance in medicinal elements. The components of honey are reported to exert antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antimetastatic effects. According to contemporary scientific research, honey could be helpful and contains protective effects for treating various disease conditions like diabetes mellitus, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, also it’s helpful in cancer therapy since many kinds of antioxidant are found in honey. In summary, honey can be regarded as a natural curative agent for various medicinal purposes. Sufficient evidence is advocating using honey in the management of illness conditions. Based on these facts, using honey in clinical wards is highly suggested. https://bit.ly/2xXZgGq Supplements that are useful and we are accepting Virtually all of the products listed above could readily be acquired by running a simple google search. But, I’ll list three resources for mumio. I typically visit a Russian drugstore to buy this, or if one of my visits Russia or Ukraine they attract a few backs. At low dosages, methylene blue (MB) was demonstrated to protect the mind from disease by acting as an electron donor to complicated I-IV of their mitochondria which raises adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. ATP is the money of life and also the energy which drives people. If our creation of ATP declines, our bodily and psychological performance declines. Even healthy people may benefit from an increase in ATP production [1].
MB may also trap dripping electrons made by mitochondrial inhibitors and also maintain the metabolic rate by bypassing blocked factors of blood circulation, so improving mitochondrial respiration [1]. https://bit.ly/2UwfaQ2

Feeding your body certain foods may help keep your immune system strong
If you’re looking for ways to prevent colds, the flu, and other infections, your first step should be a visit to your local grocery store. Plan your meals to include these 15 powerful immune system boosters.
An important note: No supplement will cure or prevent disease.
With the 2019 coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it’s especially important to understand that no supplement, diet, or other lifestyle modification other than physical distancing, also known as social distancing, and proper hygiene practices can protect you from COVID-19.
Currently, no research supports the use of any supplement to protect against COVID-19 specifically.
1. Citrus fruits
Most people turn straight to vitamin C after they’ve caught a cold. That’s because it helps build up your immune system.
Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections.
Almost all citrus fruits are high in vitamin C. With such a variety to choose from, it’s easy to add a squeeze of this vitamin to any meal.
Popular citrus fruits include:
grapefruit
oranges
clementines
tangerines
lemons
limes
Because your body doesn’t produce or store it, you need daily vitamin C for continued health. The recommended daily amount for most adults is:
Also keep in mind that while vitamin C might help you recover from a cold quicker, there’s no evidence yet that it’s effective against the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Read more
Can You Really Boost Your Immune System?
The idea of boosting your immune system is appealing, but is it even possible to build up your immune system so that you rarely get sick?
Dr. Suzanne Cassel, an immunologist at Cedars-Sinai, says that the concept of boosting your immune system is inaccurate. There’s also widely held confusion about how your immune system functions and how your body is designed to combat diseases and infections.
How your immune system works
Your immune system works to recognize and identify an infection or injury in the body. This causes an immune response, with the goal of restoring normal function.
Dr. Cassel says many people think that when they get sick, their symptoms are a sign that they have a virus or an infection.
However, your symptoms are actually a sign that your body is fighting back against the infection or virus, triggering an immune response.
“When you have a cold, you feel run down, your nose is runny, you feel congested—these are the symptoms people complain about,” Dr. Cassel says. “People think ‘I’m so sick, this is terrible. Why doesn’t my immune system work?’ But with every one of these cold symptoms, that is your immune system at work.”
Can you strengthen your immune system?
Dr. Cassel says another common misconception is having a “strong” immune system is what’s best for your body. Read more
13 Tips to Strengthen Your Immune System
Kick Back and Relax
Some stress can be a good thing. It helps your body get ready for a challenge. But if it lasts too long, that’s bad news. Studies show it can weaken your body’s defense system. Avoid it when you can. Make it a point to unwind and
Get Your Groove On
It doesn’t just make you feel good — it’s good for you, too. One study found a link between a healthy immune system and how often you get busy. Those who made love more often had higher levels of a cold-fighting substance in their bodies.
Find a Furry Friend
There’s a reason we call them “man’s best friend.” Dogs and other pets aren’t just good buddies. They also give us a reason to exercise and boost our health in other ways. Pet owners have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and healthier hearts. Dogs can help your child’s immune response and make him less likely to get allergies.
Build Your Social Network
We all know friends are important, but strong social ties can also have a big effect on your health. People with healthy relationships are likely to outlive those with poor social ties.
