(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?

Sound medical advice for at-home COVID-19 care

I thought this doctor provided some very helpful tips for at-home COVID-19 care. This advice can certainly be used for influenza cases as well.

The biggest goal is to keep moving! I remember when I was hit by what was very likely COVID-19 last February, I felt like I had a 40-pound bag of feed laying on my chest. For one full day I layed on my back. In hindsight, that was not the correct response to what I was going through. It felt surreal, losing my taste and having a very tight chest. Luckily I kicked it after two days of rest at home.

A comment worth sharing

This was a comment posted on a news article on the Interweb...worth sharing! Food for thought.

Many more forgotten men and women are also wondering about the costs of lock-downs imposed by a political elite largely insulated from their consequences. The lock-downs’ loudest cheerleaders work in jobs that are easily done from the safety and comfort of home.

Pundits and politicians are unlikely ever to need unemployment benefits, or to watch a family business built over generations get wiped out in a matter of months. The forgotten men and women are also wondering why they get so little respect, as customers, from wealthy athletes, television commentators and celebrities who are quick to lecture them about their alleged moral failings, sometimes ascribed to them simply because of the color of their skin. Most men and women lead lives of quiet desperation. We worry about paying our bills, keeping our kids happy and out of trouble, preserving our property, and protecting our families.

Most of us don’t have ambitions greater than living free from want and fear.

Most don’t want a European vacation or an apartment in San Francisco. We just want the freedom to say what we think and to worship as we choose. It is remarkable how many in power have forgotten the lessons of the upset of 2016, and the people who made it possible.
