I’m spread pretty thin these days, and just caught this news.
Get well soon, Peter! We miss you.

Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19
lewm, Dr. John Cannell founded the Vitamin D Council to bring awareness of D's benefits for numerous conditions. Unfortunately for covid, the public has been demoralized into thinking that nothing can be done except take vaccines, steroids, anticoagulants. The reference norms of D25OH at 30-100 ng/ml miss the concept of what is optimal/therapeutic, which is 50-80. When I was sick last year, I also used Ester C 1000 mg every 2 hrs while awake, NAC (N acetyl cysteine) 600 mg 3x/day to increase glutathione levels. I made slow progress, but when I got Quicksilver Scientific's liposomal vit C and glutathione which are almost as good as intravenous forms, I made much more rapid improvement. My patients and I who have done this KNOW that it works, unlike assertions of flawed "controlled" studies in journals, such as the recent JAMA article. I suggest opening a professional account with Quicksilver, which will also give access to webinars by the brilliant chief scientist, Christopher Shade, PhD. There is a long history of high dose intravenous vit C for many infectious illnesses. Thankfully, Northshore University Hospital in NY started IV vitamin C 1.5 gm every 6 hours early last year for covid. The Vitamin C book by Thomas Levy, MD, JD is useful. Surviving covid is the first hurdle. Preventing long term sequelae is best accomplished with a holistic, nutritional approach that complements usual medical therapy. I know the medical/dental practice, Whole Body Medicine in Fairfield, Conn which is near Peter. I had my mercury dental fillings removed in 2004 by the founder, Dr. Mark Breiner. His son, Dr. Adam Breiner is a holistic D.O. Dr. David Brady in the practice is a renowned nutritionist. |
Good to here you are on the mend Retipper. It is an odd experience to know you have one foot in the grave and one out, to have one foot in the OR in a situation were even in the best of hands the mortality rate is 60 % In my experience as a primary care provider the worst reactions to the vaccines are occurring in people who have already had the disease. I have already had over 300 cases in my practice so I think this opinion is a little better than anecdotal. I suggest that low risk individuals who have had the disease do not get vaccinated. The drive to get as many people vaccinated as possible is highly suspect. Trusting the pharmaceutical industry for advice in this regard is quite frankly, dangerous. I think it is also fair to mention that there are significant co morbidities in your situation that led to dangerous thrombo-embolic disease. Yes, this disease is very contagious. But, in the vast majority of people it results in a very minor illness. Best wishes for your continued uneventful recovery. Please don't do it again! |
mijostyn I have already had over 300 cases in my practice so I think this opinion is a little better than anecdotal.That’s funny. Observations made in a pseudonymous post in an audio group by someone who claims to be a physician is anecdotal at best and, quite likely, pure fiction. |
