(HD VIDEO) More data on Ivermectin in the fight against COVID-19

A very interesting video worthy of your time:

The more you know!

Sadly, "investment bias" regarding how much funding is steered to certain studies in the fight against COVID-19 has led to unfathomable and unbelievable levels of misery and death.

America should be ashamed of itself.

(VIDEO) Gut bacteria and the human mind

This video was an hour long, but it was worth watching!

A great way to look at it: genes and who we are (nature) is important, but just as important is how we live (nurture) and co-exist in the world and with all the animals and microorganisms on the planet.

Case fatality rate comparisons

Worth watching!

Near the end of the video, this doctor talks about the phrase "healthy" and mentions a statistic that about 50 percent of all normal-weight, non-obese adults are truly healthy. In general, only about 12 percent of American adults are truly "healthy"

This video was on ABC News in late October. Worth watching! 

As I have said in other blog posts...low Vitamin D levels are BAD for you! But I also want to repeat that you can take too much Vitamin D, and that is ALSO bad for you!

AND this is from early October...a four minute long video

Have we gotten the message yet on Vitamin D?
