Omicron is everywhere and is affecting people regardless of vaccination status and prior infections. Symptoms are mostly the same as before – cold, scratchy throat, fever, body aches, headache, tiredness. While most reports are saying that the symptoms are milder with omicron, it is important to be vigilant.
For reasons best known to them, most governments and media are not making available information about the fact that there are now medicines that are working very effectively at reducing the intensity of the disease. Prophylaxis (fancy term for prevention) and early treatment can make this very similar to a regular viral fever / flu). Even in cases where early treatment was not provided, there are symptom specific drugs that are helping in the recovery. I wanted to share with you what I have found so far.
I first heard about Ivermectin in May 2021 when my doctor prescribed it during the early days of my Covid treatment.
Sometime in June I discovered this conversation below.
I hadn’t heard about either of these individuals before, but once I began hearing them, I decided to give it my full attention. You’ll see why if you give it your time (which I hope you will, given that this single word – Ivermectin – appears to be remarkably effective in preventing and in treating the various strains of Covid)
Here’s a brief bit about Pierre Cory (and here’s his CV)
Pierre Kory is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. He is considered one of the world pioneers in the use of ultrasound by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients.
:
Dr. Kory has led ICU’s in multiple COVID-19 hotspots throughout the pandemic. He has co-authored 5 influential papers on COVID-19 with the most impactful being a paper that was the first to support the diagnosis of early COVID-19 respiratory disease as an organizing pneumonia, thus explaining the critical response of the disease to corticosteroids.
I won’t be summarizing the podcast here, but to know what is actually discussed in this marathon 2h26m conversation, please see the timestamps at the bottom of this post. If you want to do a text-search on the contents of the podcast, you can comb through this automated transcript.
Towards the end of the interview, I learned about the FLCCC – Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care alliance that Dr. Kory is a part of – this is a non-profit organization of leading medical practitioners who came together in March 2020 to develop effective treatment protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and to improve the outcomes for patients ill with the disease.
The person who heads this is Dr. Paul Marik whose work has been cited >48,000 times in academia. Dr. Kory describes him as “the most published intensivist (ICU specialist) in the history of our field, who’s actually practicing medicine.” One of the five individuals that started the FLCCC is Dr. Umberto Meduri – the world expert at steroids and lung diseases. His work has been referenced in 25,000 academic papers.
- They are All professors of medicine, research scientists, and top ICU doctors at leading U.S. medical schools
- Nearly 2,000 peer-reviewed papers between them.
- Over 100 years of bedside ICU experience and near-daily care of COVID-19 patients since the beginning
Why is it important to establish the non-profit nature & high credibility of FLCCC ?
I’d like to bring in here just a tiny bit from the 71 page report An overview of the MATH+, I-MASK+ and I-RECOVER Protocols | A Guide to the Management of COVID-19
These are particularly damming observations on the nature of academic journals:
The Lancet editor, Richard Horton, confirms,
“Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”
This is from the Editor of one of the most influential medical journals. More recently, 26 of the 27 “researchers” who wrote a paper in the Lancet & dismissed the lab-leak theory as outrageous had links to China. 26 of them had conflicts of interest.
Dr. Marcia Angell, who served as an NEJM editor for 20 years ((New England Journal of Medicine, again one of the most prestigious academic journals in the world), says journals are
“primarily a marketing machine.”. Pharma, she says, has co-opted “every institution that might stand in its way. Complex scientific and moral problems are not resolved through censorship of dissenting opinions, deleting content from the Internet, or defaming scientists and authors who present information challenging to those in power. Censorship leads instead to greater distrust of both government institutions and large corporations.”
The authors of the FLCCC report cited above go on to write:
“We are living through a period of time characterized by a Vacuum of Truth, with misinformation, disinformation, blatant lies, censorship, and nefarious intentions being the order of the day. It is difficult to dissect out the actual truth and discern whom to trust. Furthermore, it is no longer controversial to acknowledge that drug makers rigorously control medical publishing and that The Lancet, NEJM, and JAMA are utterly corrupted instruments of Big Pharma.”
So why are we looking at the FLCCC?
What has the FLCCC established so far? Well, to start with, it has established protocols or “best practices” of how best to deal with Covid – before, during, and after.
Their protocols are centered around ivermectin – an off-label drug that was found in the 70s in the soil of Japan. Two of the most remarkable medical discoveries in the world have been Penicillin and Aspirin. Ivermectin is the third. Incidentally, they were all discovered in nature. Here’s a short video (11 min) on this drug’s incredible history. Please see it full-screen, on a tablet or laptop if possible, with all notifications off.
They’ve put together a 30-page research report for the public : Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19
FLCCC’s protocols are
“centered around ivermectin, a well-known, FDA-approved anti-parasite drug that has been used successfully for more than four decades to treat “river blindness” and other parasitic diseases. It is one of the safest drugs known. It is on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, has been given 3.7 billion times around the globe, and has won the Nobel prize for its global and historic impacts in eradicating endemic parasitic infections in many parts of the world. Our medical discovery of a rapidly growing published medical evidence base, demonstrating ivermectin’s unique and highly potent ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication and to suppress inflammation, prompted our team to use ivermectin for prevention and treatment in all stages of COVID-19.
The efficacy of ivermectin is supported by results from 64 controlled trials, 32 of them randomized, and 16 of those were double-blinded, the gold standard of research design. A summary (meta-analysis) of these trials find statistically significant reductions in transmissions, time to recovery, hospitalization, and death.
Since 2012, multiple in vitro studies find that Ivermectin inhibits many viruses, including Zika, Dengue, West Nile, Influenza and others”
PREVENTION & EARLY TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
So here’s the always upto-date page with what they recommend
If you want to minimize the chances of getting Covid to begin with, see Page 1 in this doc – it details Prevention.
Page 2 details Early Treatment, i.e what you can do if you already have the virus.
EPILOGUE
Dr. Kory has already testified twice before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee
May 7, 2020: First Testimony
• Testified that corticosteroids are essential in the treatment of late-stage hospitalized COVID-19 patients
• Summarily dismissed thereafter by the global healthcare community; even mocked and ridiculed
December 8, 2020: Second Testimony Before U.S. Senate Subcommittee
• Testified that ivermectin is essential in the prevention and treatment COVID-19
• “We were right regarding corticosteroids in our testimony before this body last May, and we’re right again
today regarding ivermectin.”
Not-ignorable evidence – though there’s a lot more
Two major states of India : UP (pop: 273M), Bihar (pop: 124M) – adopted Ivermectin & replaced HCQ in early treatment.
