High blood pressure + zinc deficiency + blood pressure medications = coronavirus fatality

ANALYSIS: Nearly every person dying from the coronavirus likely has these three things in common

(Natural News) This is an analysis based on current knowledge, not from any published study (yet), but based on everything we know so far, we believe the vast majority of people dying from the coronavirus have one or more of the following things in common:

#1) Chronic zinc deficiency, often stemming from over-consumption of processed foods that lack minerals

#2) Hypertension (high blood pressure)

3) Taking prescription medications (specifically, high blood pressure meds)

We believe these things based on rational observations of who is currently being hit the hardest by the coronavirus. The hypertension link to coronavirus fatalities has been widely reported. Even weeks ago, Bloomberg.news ran a story entitled, “Top Coronavirus Doctor in Wuhan Says High Blood Pressure Is Major Death Risk.” That story reports:

Patients with hypertension appear to be at a higher risk of dying from the coronavirus, said a top Chinese intensive care doctor who’s been treating critically ill patients since mid-January.

Of a group of 170 patients who died in January in Wuhan — the first wave of casualties caused by a pathogen that’s now raced around the world — nearly half had hypertension.

In the United States, according to the American Heart Association, around 100 million Americans have high blood pressure. The vast majority of those people are “treating” their symptoms with blood pressure medication. (It’s all a medical fraud, of course, since medication doesn’t really “treat” high blood pressure. Rather, it masks the symptoms to create the illusion of improved health.)

Americans take more medications than any other country in the world, and that’s one reason why we believe the case fatality rate in the USA may end up being significantly higher than the world average.

Zinc deficiencies allow the coronavirus to rapidly replicate in the body

We also know that a zinc deficiency results in a physiological environment that allows the coronavirus to replicate very rapidly. A study published in a PLoS medical journal found that zinc “inhibits coronavirus RNA polymerase activity in vitro”. That means zinc blocks the replication machinery of the virus.

Furthermore, the symptoms of COVID-19 appear to be almost exactly the same as symptoms of zinc deficiency. This was pointed out by Bill Sardi who published a chart of the symptoms list.

Zinc deficiency also explains why so many younger athletes are dying from the coronavirus infections: Intense exercise causes loss of zinc through sweating, and if those individuals aren’t replacing the lost zinc through supplementation, they can become chronically deficient in zinc.

Zinc deficiency is actually one of the biggest money makers for Big Pharma, since having low zinc levels results in symptoms that get diagnosed as diabetes and other diseases. As explained by Prevention.com:

Zinc deficiency has been linked to a slew of health conditions, like diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, and more. The potential connection? Zinc keeps your immune system humming along and promotes healthy cell growth. When you don’t get enough of it, your body can’t fight the effects of harmful free radicals and inflammation spikes, two risk factors that have been tied to chronic disease, says Dr. Prasad.

Other symptoms of zinc deficiency include slow healing, skin disorders, balding, poor vision and even difficulty with hearing or your sense of smell. Notably, COVID-19 is causing people to lose their sense of smell almost entirely.

Finally, many medications actually rob the body of zinc, which creates increased vulnerability to coronavirus for individuals who are taking multiple prescription medications.

The toxicity of high blood pressure medications

High blood pressure itself is a risk factor for increased coronavirus fatalities, and blood pressure medications themselves also add an increased risk of death to the patient. Even mainstream medicine news sources like Medical News Today openly write about the toxicity and death risk from blood pressure medications:

Scientists at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City, UT, found that individuals with hypertension who used alpha blockers and alpha-2 agonists to control their blood pressure showed an increase in blood pressure variability, which could increase mortality risk.

Lead study author Dr. Brian Clements and team have recently presented their findings at the 2018 American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Sessions, held in Orlando, FL.

According to the new study from Dr. Clements and colleagues, certain types of medication that are used to lower blood pressure may be contributing to this mortality risk.

There are far safer alternatives for naturally lowering blood pressure, of course. Potassium has been shown to lower blood pressure more safely than prescription medications, and even cacao (chocolate) is known to lower blood pressure better than prescription drugs.

Yet blood pressure drugs are widely overprescribed because they generate profits for Big Pharma and kickbacks for doctors.

Summary: If you don’t have high blood pressure, zinc deficiency or take blood pressure medications, your risk of dying from the coronavirus is exceedingly small

We are confident that as more data become available, they will show that the vast majority of coronavirus deaths are occurring in individuals with these three underlying causes, one of which is a simple zinc deficiency that can be treated and corrected for pennies per day.

Although other co-morbidity factors exist — such as diabetes, stroke and CHD — the most common factors are likely going to end up being high blood pressure (hypertension) and zinc deficiency.

Yet Big Pharma controls the medical establishment, the fake news media and even the White House, which means you’ll never hear a word about zinc or the dangers of blood pressure medications. Big Tech censors all information and natural remedies, treatments or cures for the coronavirus other than pharmaceuticals and vaccines, since the tech giants are all “pharma whores.”

The coronavirus, in fact, could accurately be described as almost a binary weapon system that only kills people who rely on pharmaceuticals and avoid nutrition. In order to die from the coronavirus, you almost have to be someone who thinks nutrition is a hoax but pharmaceuticals are necessary. That’s who is largely dying from coronavirus right now, all across the world.

No government will encourage citizens to take nutritional supplements, because that doesn’t enrich the wealthy corporate interests

No government in the world is recommending zinc, vitamin C, magnesium or healthy living. Without a single exception, every government in the world is peddling (non-existent) vaccines and prescription medications as the only possible treatments for coronavirus.

All the deaths taking place right now are, in effect, deaths of ignorance, not deaths from the coronavirus alone. It is lack of knowledge and insane levels of censorship that are killing humanity right now. If everyone could read Natural News, we could help save millions of lives, halt the replication of the virus and get the economies of our world back to active status in record time.

But of course, that’s not what the globalists want. They want mass death, economic destruction, desperation, enslavement and widespread human suffering. And they hold out a vaccine like a carrot on a stick, hoping you will endure months of brutal lockdowns in the hope of one day being offered a “vaccine cure” that will probably kill you, by the way.

That’s because the globalists are at war with humanity, and censorship of natural cures is an even higher priority to them than censorship of political speech. That’s why we were censored even before Alex Jones was censored: Because we teach people how to avoid disease, survive pandemics and escape the medical tyranny of the authoritarian vaccine regime that will soon be coming for you, door to door, with a needle at the ready and a gun pointed at your head, demanding you take the mandatory coronavirus vaccine or lose all your rights as a citizen.

That day is coming soon. You can count on it. And if you refuse the coronavirus vaccine, you will be kidnapped and thrown in a quarantine death camp reserved for “anti-vaxxers” who will be painted as mass murderous and evildoers who are a threat to public health.

That’s why we all need to spread the word about zinc… so we can defeat this virus before the vaccine even comes into existence. By doing that, we deny the vaccine industry their hoped-for “savior” scenario where they can introduce the vaccine as the infections are already waning, then claim that “vaccines saved humanity.” They pulled the same trick with polio, after all, and most doctors and scientists alive today still believe the polio vaccine propaganda.

Our world is still living under the authoritarian tyranny of Big Pharma, and that’s the real reason why tens of thousands are dying from the coronavirus right now. Maybe it’s time for humanity to choose a different future for a change.

Media’s “fake news” disinformation campaign about vitamin C

Canadian physician and medical journalist exposes media’s “fake news” disinformation campaign about vitamin C

(NaturalHealth365) Schools have closed, toilet paper is in short supply, and every state in the United States has now been affected by COVID-19.  Many people are working at home, some are in quarantine, and others in isolation as the government tells us it could be months, if not more than a year, until a vaccine is developed to stop this pandemic.

Meanwhile, Canadian physician and medical journalist – W. Gifford-Jones, M.D. – is exposing the media’s “fake news” disinformation campaign about vitamin C. Not only does he make the case through history for the use of vitamin C, but he talks about the lives lost due to the constant cover-up campaign against using high amounts of this powerful vitamin.

History backs up the use of vitamin C, why is the media silent?

In a recent YouTube video (watch below), W. Gifford-Jones, MD, who happens to be a Harvard trained surgeon and 96-year-old medical journalist, discusses vitamin C as a “miracle cure.”

A simple look back through history backs up the use of vitamin C to combat disease. Citrus has been used since the 1600s as a way to prevent and treat scurvy. James Lind, a Surgeon in the British Royal Navy, would go on to prove the benefits of citrus and vitamin C for scurvy prevention and treatment in the 1700s. Later, in 1948, polio was treated effectively with the help of vitamin C.

More recent research also backs up vitamin C as a powerful preventive measure and treatment for multiple diseases. Along with the well accepted role of preventing scurvy, significant research backs up the ability of high dose vitamin C to prevent the common cold.

Multiple publications exist on the role of vitamin C in atherogeneis and lipid metabolism, and some evidence shows that this vitamin in high amounts is highly effective at reducing the threat of atherosclerosis.  Gifford-Jones, MD even gives an account of his personal experience with high amounts of vitamin C as a way to treat atherosclerosis after he had a heart attack and a triple bypass.

Do NOT ignore the health dangers linked to toxic indoor air.  These chemicals - the 'off-gassing' of paints, mattresses, carpets and other home/office building materials - increase your risk of headaches, dementia, heart disease and cancer.

Vitamin C has also been studied for its ability to prevent and treat cancer, diabetes, heavy metal toxicity, and its role in improved immunity.

Reducing the threat of COVID-19 with vitamin C

With people dying across the world of COVID-19, in a recent article, W. Gifford-Jones, M.D. urges the use of vitamin C as a “cure.”  He calls these deaths needless as health authorities and doctors continue to ignore the role high amounts of vitamin C can play in the treatment of this virus.

High amounts of intravenous vitamin C have already been used in China to combat COVID-19. We recently reported that three vitamin C studies were approved in China, although there’s been little reporting on the success physicians have had with this method of treatment.

According to Gifford-Jones, high amounts of vitamin C offer a great way to avoid the threat of this virus.  He recommends taking 2,000 mg doses twice a day to improve immunity.

If you begin to develop flu-like symptoms, his recommendation is to take 2,000 mg every hour as your bowels tolerate it.  Keep in mind, when taking vitamin C powder or capsules orally, you can experience loose stool or diarrhea, at your upper limits.

Another thing that’s important to remember: the sicker you are, the more you need.  Talk to your integrative doctor about what’s best for you … and, if they don’t know enough about vitamin C – find another doctor that can help you.

Is The Coup Coalition Fit For Purpose?

Is The Coup Coalition Fit For Purpose? COMMENT 20 March 2020

Between allegedly immersing himself in the major crisis that is Covid 19; reporting personally to the supportive Johor Sultan at his palace; playing golf and celebrating ‘victory’ with family and friends, ‘PM8′ (the Coup Coalition leader has yet to prove his legitimacy in numbers) somehow found time this week to send out a letter to ‘sack’ the Secretary General of his own party. Not everyone has been impressed by ‘PM8”s attention to the crisis on his hands – including taking time out to travel to visit the Johor Sultan (who has been close to the action through this coup crisis) back at his palace, the day after imposing a lockdown on everybody else. It is another sign that politicking and securing his, as yet still unconfirmed position as ‘PM8′, remains at the top of the ‘To Do List’ for this backdoor prime minister, even while his country tops the list of Covid 19 cases in South East Asia and 15 medical staff are now reported as having contracted the disease. The reason ‘PM8′ wants the Secretary General of Bersatu sacked is clear. There is a drive to prevent the party’s April elections scheduled to confirm its official positions. Those elections could threaten Muhyiddin’s position in the party he claims to continue to be the leader of as the present President. The Chairman is Dr Mahathir (PM7), whom ‘PM8′ plotted to usurp. No one has dared challenge his position, however in light of his defection the ex-PM’s son has declared he will challenge Muhyiddin for President and angry grass roots members may well decide to support that move. That could leave ‘PM8′, who has already been exposed for misrepresenting his level of support within the party, not only as an unconfirmed prime minister but a leader without a party – possibly ejected from his party altogether. The situation would highlight the fact that new applicants to the party, namely the plotting ex-PKR defectors Azmin and Zuraida, are also not yet confirmed in the party although they claim to have joined. ‘PM8′ therefore needs to appoint a new compliant Secretary General to bend the rules in his favour and preferably ‘postpone’ the April reckoning with the members he betrayed – perhaps indefinitely. Without doubt the Covid 19 crisis, that his government has been so inattentive in handling, will be used as the prime excuse. For now, as Chairman of the Bersatu Mahathir has pointed out that the President cannot execute such a move without his consent. It is a battle that will doubtless consume plenty more working days that would be better spent on helping a bewildered Rakyat facing a medical emergency during a time of totally unexpected and unnecessary political upheaval. Put The People First From the start of all this upheaval, while Azmin Ali set up camp in the Sheraton Hotel and organised mass gatherings of rebel MPs, Sarawak Report and others highlighted the folly of such politicking just as Covid 19 began its spread out of China. Thanks to these plotters and deserters from Bersatu and PKR, Malaysia spent a full ten days without a government at all just as the world was waking up to the danger of the Coronavirus. Prior to the Sheraton move, Malaysia boasted the rare advantage of both a PM and DPM who were qualified doctors fully attuned and aware of the dangers of infection. Yet by the time ‘PM8′ belatedly appointed his own administration, after some two weeks of decision-making hiatus, the country found itself led by a bloated cabinet liberally packed with extremist preachers, who know and care nothing for modern science. During the two weeks hiatus, as many warned, the plotters mingled with each other and infected parties in large groups and gatherings and failed to pay any attention to the real pressing matter that faced the people. The priority was not their own positioning and politicking nor the racial issues they had complained of, but a desperate sickness spreading through the nation. Indeed it still appears the plotters who put together this backdoor coup (a term certain senior royals apparently would like branded as ‘seditious’) have their minds so full of their plans for power, patronage and racial dominance that even now they have yet to comprehend that they managed to seize power in the middle of the worst global crisis since World War II. They are simply failing to pay sufficient attention to the issue. The frame of mind of all these selfish careerists is perhaps best illustrated by the chief aide and organiser to the clueless Sarawak bumpkins who joined the coup from PKR. Vernon Kedit, a die hard Azmin loyalist who drove the Sarawak break-up, has seen fit to focus his social media efforts at this sombre time on a new profile shot of  himself together with the leader of this Muslim Malay supremacist coup coalition, plus smugly circulating the photos of his new office and grand (empty) desk achieved through this betrayal of his constituents. More important things to worry about than boasting about betrayal? Meanwhile, back in Sarawak people are left wondering why they are now facing infection thanks to the madness that allowed a gathering to take place of 14,000 people together in a crowded mosque for three days just the past week, before attendees returned virus-ridden, to spread sickness throughout the land? People are likewise wondering what sort of government makes a ‘decisive’ call to shut down universities full of student lodgers, who were then turfed out of their accommodation to crowd their way into the KL bus station where 45,000 people then mingled for hours to try to find buses that could take them home (along with any virus caught in town) to their country kampungs? Alerted by public outrage the government then turned the closure order on its head – but they might have stopped to think things through, if not otherwise preoccupied with their power games and numbers building. Likewise, as ‘PM8′ finally and belatedly ordered the closure of sporting and other events, it didn’t stop him playing golf with all his friends the very next day over the weekend or Zuraida from holding a grand party on Monday night to celebrate her ministerial reward for defecting in the coup, just as the government banned gatherings altogether. So, it is clear to everyone who has paid attention that this ragtag coalition of essentially disunited political pygmies had given a barely a second’s thought as to the actual responsibilities of the positions of power before they upturned an elected government to achieve it. They are yet to focus on what leadership actually means in terms of duty or on the horrifying present reality, which is that they seized this role on the very cusp of a massive crisis.  They are clearly not minded to have to deal with any such responsibilities when they still have positions to secure and parties to attend. In particular, as world markets implode, to what extent have these Sarawak bumpkins, Malay prelates and royalist hangers-on worked out the implications for Malaysia. The fact is that the level of economic crisis that threatens the country has just been made ten times worse by their own disruption. The return of pillaging UMNO warlords into the government has not only resulted in a confirmation from the United States that no more 1MDB assets will be returned, it has terrified outside investors. The ringgit has free-fallen since the coup from RM4 to the dollar in January to nearly RM4.5 – at which point margin calls could wreak havoc causing the loss of jobs and wealth. None of this seems to occupy the minds of the clowns who only see their ethnic domination of the government and control of contracts as being important. The backdoor coup that turfed out a competent administration elected by the people claims it had the public interest at heart of course. But let’s examine whether the various players’ motives might have instead owed to individual self interests as follows: –  In the case of Azmin Ali (who had fallen out with his previous PKR party leadership and craved to be the next PM): did he respond to overtures from PAS, UMNO and the palace of Selangor because he imagined that ascending to a position of DPM (eventually PM) of the federal government would represent even bigger, grander opportunities for wealth and self-aggrandisement than he had enjoyed as CM of Selangor? – In the case of his UMNO collaborators, Najib, Zahid, Hishamuddin and a string of ex-BN cronies and assorted pampered aristocrats: was not their key objective to get off the hook over their various criminal trials and get back into the driving seat to reset the klepto-clock to April 2018? – In the case of the half-educated clerics, filled with bile from PAS: was not their aim to finally occupy a seat in government and exert their bigotry against everyone not part of their particular form of ideology, even though it involved an alliance with a bunch of crooks and liars? – With regard to the frogs from Bersatu: was not their their main concern to restore ‘Malay Supremacy’, which meant a totally privileged and corrupted system that benefited themselves, despite promising a goal of ‘clean government’ and ‘rule of law’? If the above reasons were the actual and conflicting preoccupations of the plotters who came together in the coup coalition, can it be any surprise that none of them appear to have paid more than passing attention to the real job in hand of protecting their country against a deadly virus that has rapidly moved out of control to top numbers in the region, thanks to their failure to pay attention to anything beyond plotting and protecting their political positions? In fact, now the ‘PM8′ has sought fit to declare that the military will be drafted onto the streets to ‘enforce stern measures’ against those who ‘defy’ the up till now nonsense and conflicting directives of this government, he can hardly be surprised at the chill of public suspicion over the real reasons behind his moves.

        The Nation needs to wake up not only to COVID 19 Outbreak but also to the inefficiency             of the PN governing this country! These backdoorers ought to be quickly sent packing       
        back to where they came from this coming reopening of the Parliament or BETTER DO     
        BEFORE IT!!!

Coronavirus can persist in air for hours and on surfaces for days: study

(Reuters) - The highly contagious novel coronavirus that has exploded into a global pandemic can remain viable and infectious in droplets in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days, according to a new study that should offer guidance to help people avoid contracting the respiratory illness called COVID-19.

Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, attempted to mimic the virus deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting, such as through coughing or touching objects.

They used a device to dispense an aerosol that duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze.

The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces, according to the study that appeared online in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday - a day in which U.S. COVID-19 cases surged past 5,200 and deaths approached 100.

The tests show that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it remains viable, or able to still infect people, in aerosols for at least three hours.

On plastic and stainless steel, viable virus could be detected after three days. On cardboard, the virus was not viable after 24 hours. On copper, it took 4 hours for the virus to become inactivated.

In terms of half-life, the research team found that it takes about 66 minutes for half the virus particles to lose function if they are in an aerosol droplet.

That means that after another hour and six minutes, three quarters of the virus particles will be essentially inactivated but 25% will still be viable.

The amount of viable virus at the end of the third hour will be down to 12.5%, according to the research led by Neeltje van Doremalen of the NIAID’s Montana facility at Rocky Mountain Laboratories.

On stainless steel, it takes 5 hours 38 minutes for half of the virus particles to become inactive. On plastic, the half-life is 6 hours 49 minutes, researchers found.

On cardboard, the half-life was about three and a half hours, but the researchers said there was a lot of variability in those results “so we advise caution” interpreting that number.

The shortest survival time was on copper, where half the virus became inactivated within 46 minutes.
