D.I.Y. COVID MEDICINE - Doctors for Disaster Preparedness

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -

No, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness does not recommend do-it-yourself medicine.

You should have a physician who knows you and is available to advise you—confidentially. Fewer and fewer people are so fortunate. Most are enrolled in a “health plan” and have an assigned “healthcare provider.” Even if the provider has an M.D., evaluation and management may be determined by the drop-down menus in the electronic health record. The EHR will follow you everywhere, tracking your history and compliance—some even have electronic “sticky notes” to flag potentially disruptive patients who have a politically incorrect attitude.


Corporate medicine has been adamantly opposed to early home treatment of COVID-19, and employed physicians deviate from that policy at their peril. Hospitals, clinics, and most of “organized medicine,” including the AMA and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), will cite “the science” as determined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The NIH funds research—it is not supposed to produce guidelines or to direct physicians’ practice. But suddenly it does—or constrains practice and makes therapeutic nihilism the presumed “standard of care” for COVID.

Only in December did NIH revise its treatment guidelines from doing nothing in non-hospitalized patients to mentioning neutralizing antibodies available through an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), while stating that “there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against” them (https://tinyurl.com/y64horcu). On Jan 14, 2021, it updated its “do not recommend” for ivermectin to neutral, same as for the antibodies, possibly because of testimony before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (https://tinyurl.com/yyqx7rsv).

Physicians who actually treat patients have developed a number of protocols, some of which are compiled at c19protocols.com. A Grand Rounds presentation that was censored by a major health system is made available to the public by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (tinyurl.com/y29fco6w or tinyurl.com/yxqx5r9y).

You need a physician’s prescription for hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, steroids, antibiotics, or colchicine. If your “provider” declines to prescribe, some resources to find a physician are also at c19protocols.com.

OVER-THE-COUNTER PREVENTIVES AND REMEDIES

In addition to the nutraceuticals mentioned in the May 2020 issue and in Civil Defense Perspectives, March 2020, a number of other measures have been suggested. If new viral mutants proliferate, these preparations may become harder to find than toilet paper. This material is presented for information only. It is not intended as medical advice. Try to find a physician you can trust.

Nigella sativa (black cumin seeds) and honey improved symptoms, viral clearance, and mortality in a randomized study of 313 patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 in Pakistan (tinyurl.com/yy26f6su). One can currently buy Nigella by the pound or grow it in the backyard in a suitable climate.

Iodine is the most effective and benign disinfectant, both externally and internally. In a Bangladeshi randomized controlled trial with 606 subjects, the use of 1% povidone iodine in eye/nose drops and mouth gargle reduced COVID-19 hospitalizations by 84% and mortality by 88% (https://tinyurl.com/y6lzf37u).

In 1945, studies showed that painting the snout of mice with iodine solution prior to exposure protected them from a lethal mist of influenza virus (tinyurl.com/y5rkvmgb).

Molecular iodine could be a game changer in dentistry (tinyurl.com/y357v5d4) because of its activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores. Oral rinses are now available. Unlike other agents, iodine does not induce microbial resistance. There is a nasal spray (e.g., ioMist™) that disinfects areas unreachable by gargling. One dental office pours unscented mouthwash (ioRinse™) into a standard scent diffuser (tinyurl.com/yd7zupw7).

Before antibiotics and Big Pharma emerged after World War II, potassium iodide (KI) was widely used for many infections. “The recommended dose of potassium iodide to treat infectious diseases varies from 4 to 6 g/day or 6 to 7.5 g/day for adults, depending on the scientific reference. The pediatric dose is about half or a third of the adult dose,” write Costa et al. (An Bras Dermatol 2013;88(3):396-02, tinyurl.com/y34pwksk). From the current perspective these doses are massive, and may need to be ramped up gradually.

Iodine has been used in the treatment of malaria, kala-azar, smallpox (Indian Medical Gazette, July 1923), and tuberculosis (JAMA 1892, tinyurl.com/y5zdovsd). In the 1957 influenza pandemic in India, painting throats with Mandl’s paint (I2 + KI) reduced transmission. In severe cases, “1-3 doses of 10 ml of colloidal iodine were generally administered intravenously. In several such cases, treatment was followed by a rapid drop in temperature and the disappearance of toxaemia” (https://tinyurl.com/yxbqe9kk).

Xylitol, a naturally occurring alcohol, in a nasal spray combined with grapefruit seed extract, can significantly reduce the titer of SARS-CoV-2 and may reduce the spread of respiratory viruses, including future influenza outbreaks (tinyurl.com/y25ezuxv). Xlear™ is available OTC. Xylitol also has anti-inflammatory properties (tinyurl.com/y2yd2mp3).

Carrageenan, a common food additive, mimics cell surface proteoglycans, thereby trapping the virus to allow mucociliary clearance. It has demonstrated antiviral activity in vitro and in several common cold clinical trials when administered as a nasal spray. A clinical trial in COVID-19 is underway (https://tinyurl.com/y4b775zg).

Melatonin, often used as a sleep aid, appears to be protective against acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of its anti-inflammatory effects (tinyurl.com/175h380z). It may also help to prevent transmission. In a Cleveland Clinic observational study that used propensity scores from 26,799 individuals in a COVID-19 registry, which considered 34 repurposable drugs with their reported antiviral profiles, it was found that melatonin usage was associated with a 28% and 52% reduced likelihood of a positive laboratory test result for SARS-CoV-2 in the combined population and in black Americans, respectively, after adjusting for age, sex, race, smoking, and various disease comorbidities (tinyurl.com/1ifpeouv). Melatonin is produced by our own bodies. See I-MASK+ at c19protocols.com.

Aspirin is recommended to help prevent blood clots; early observations suggest that it decreases ICU admission and mortality (https://tinyurl.com/y5awaxdu).

This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Ask your doctor. What advice does he give patients for prevention, and what will he do for you if you test positive or become ill with COVID? Have a back-up plan.

How to Detox Spike Protein After COVID - Dr Mercola

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
The spike protein is naturally found in SARS-CoV-2, no matter the variant. In its native form in SARS-CoV-2, the spike protein is responsible for the pathologies of the viral infection. As of October 30, 2023, federal  data  published by the US CDC found that 14.3% (National Estimate) of adults who previously had a COVID-19 infection are currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID.  In its wild form it’s known to open the blood-brain barrier, cause cell damage (cytotoxicity) and, as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the  mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology , said in a commentary on  News Voice , “is active in manipulating the biology of the cells that coat the inside of your blood vessels — vascular endothelial cells, in part through its interaction with ACE2, which controls contraction in the blood vessels, blood pressure and other things.” It’s also been revealed that the spike protein on its own is enough to cause inflammation and damage to the vascular system, even i

Lumbrokinase vs Nattokinase vs Serrapeptase: What's the Difference?

By -
Image
Lumbrokinase, nattokinase, and serrapeptase are all enzymes that have been studied for their potential health benefits. They are all considered as proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes have a variety of roles in the body, from helping to digest food to taking part in the immune response. What is Lumbrokinase? Lumbrokinase (LK) is an enzyme derived from earthworms is thought to aid in blood clot prevention, inflammation reduction, and circulation problems.  Lumbrokinase for Blood Clots Thrombolytic agents typically used to dissolve clots are urokinase (u-PA), streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). These drugs, however, are not specific for fibrin and have adverse and dangerous side effects including severe bleeding and heavy blood loss which may result in death. In contrast, LK is very specific to fibrin as a substrate and it does not cause excessive bleeding. It can dissolve the fibrin itself or convert plasminogen to plasmin by inducing endogenous t-PA activity to

Fenbendazole vs Mebendazole: What is the Difference?

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Fenbendazole for Humans Fenbendazole (also known as fenben) is a veterinary medication used to treat parasites and worms such as tapeworms, hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms, in animals. It is commonly used under brand names like Panacur C and Safe-Guard. Recently, researchers have been experimenting with fenbendazole for humans cancer. Though the studies are limited, what researchers have found so far is promising for cancer patients. Many cancer patients have been following the Fenbendazole for cancer Protocol . However, fenbendazole isn’t the only worming medication that has the potential to fight cancer. Researchers have also been studying how Mebendazole, a drug that can treat worms in humans, could be just as, or even more, effective at shrinking tumors and killing cancer cells. Here’s what you need to know about each of these medications: Fenbendazole vs. Mebendazole Fenbendazole is part of a larger group of drugs known as benzimidazole, which are anthelmintic dr

NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN? What are the Differences?

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN ? Due to the small alphabetical differences, these supplements are often mixed up and confused by most consumers. We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these supplements below. NAD NAD is derived from Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). The levels of NAD in our body determine the speed of aging process. In younger cells and tissues, the levels of NAD are higher. As a result, younger people tend to have better physical activity, cognitive function and potential for cell repair and regeneration. As we grow, the levels of NAD in our body start to decline. This is reflected in the form of slowed cognitive response, loss of memory and reduced agility. Research suggests it may be possible to reverse mitochondrial decay with dietary supplements that increase cellular levels of a molecule called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).  NAD is a linchpin of energy metabolism, among other roles, and its diminishing level with age has been implicated in mitochond

How Linoleic Acid Wrecks Your Health (2024) - Dr Mercola

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
The majority of Americans might be misled by official health recommendations to eat “healthy” vegetable oils. Even the term “vegetable oil” is misleading because it gives you the impression that you are receiving vegetable micronutrients when these oils are actually highly toxic, industrially-processed seed oils. Seed oils are some of the most dangerous items you could eat. Tucker Goodrich and Dr Mercola discussed what will be the topic of Dr Mercola's next book, namely linoleic acid (LA), which he believed is likely the leading contributing cause of virtually all chronic diseases we've encountered over the last century. Unfortunately, this is a topic that most clinicians and health care practitioners who focus on natural medicine have only a superficial understanding of.   Goodrich has a business background as a stockbroker and asset manager, and developed an IT risk management system used by two of the largest hedge funds in the w

The Key to Reversing All Autoimmune Diseases - Dr Mercola

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
It has been estimated that over 54.4 million people in the United States have an autoimmune disease  ( R ).   Some of the major ones would be rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. Since I have a massive clinical experience with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), I am going to use it as an example of how all autoimmune diseases can be treated. Why? Because they all have similar origins which are related to an antigen sneaking into your body and your immune system confusing it as a foreign invader. The antigen that gets into your system determines which of your body's tissues will be impacted. From the late 1980s and for the following 10 years, I treated over 3,000 patients with rheumatic illnesses, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, polymyositis and dermatomyositis. RA has a devastating prognosis in many patients. Rheumatoid arthritis affects about 1% of our population
