Naturale's Achievements

  1. that pandemics don't end because of vaccines but rather pandemics end when the pathogen or its environment changes or when people successfully change their behaviours or immune systems. Pandemics only peter out when the virus evolves from a novel killer to just another benign flu-maker.
  2. it is a fact that these vaccines have not been well studied so if you choose to take it, you are now part of a real life study. Dr. Don J. Tynes says. “You understand that you are volunteering to be a part of a great experiment with receiving the COVID-19 vaccine,” He says he’s trying to protect his patients and the community from vaccines that are not well understood due to a lack of long-term studies.
  3. It was with regard to this, explaining it further. Vaccines don’t end pandemics. The Spanish flu epidemic, which stretched over four years, didn’t end with a vaccine. (At the time most health officials had no idea even what a virus was.) Instead, that pandemic only petered out when the virus evolved from a novel killer to just another benign flu-maker. Pandemics end when the pathogen or its environment changes or when people successfully change their behaviours or immune systems.

  4. he 1918 flu pandemic was so deadly as a direct result of the appalling living conditions at this tragic time. The trenches would have been the perfect breeding grounds for infections among the World War One soldiers. Patrick Saunders-Hastings at Carleton University in Ottawa says “The virus emerged when populations, which previously had little contact with each other, were brought together on the battlefield,” “And on a lot of cases they were dealing with other injuries and they were under-nourished.” Vitamin B deficiencies, in particular, have been noted to increase mortality rates in later pandemics, he says. Those left at home were still living in closed, crowded conditions that led to greater exposure to the virus. This not only accelerated transmission, increasing the chances that people would become infected; it also increased the severity of the symptoms. It is well understood that improved sanitation and hygiene, associated with industrialisation and general reductions in poverty, have contributed significantly to overall reductions in infectious disease mortality in the 20th Century. Analysing records from Chicago during the 1918 pandemic shows factors such as population density and unemployment directly influenced someone’s chance of catching the disease.
  5. “‘one of the great lies of the 20th century [is] that antibiotics, vaccines and doctors have saved us from pestilence. . . . g94 9/22 p. 31 “In One Place After Another Pestilences”

  7. Sara Seidelmann is Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and she worked on the study. She told Newsday: “We found that individuals who reported following plant-based diets had a 73 percent lower odds of moderate to severe Covid-19. Plants are packed with micro-nutrients. In prior studies supplementation with some of these nutrients decreased the risk of respiratory infections. These nutrients can support the immune system.” Eating a plant-based diet may help people avoid having obesity and other health conditions that could worsen their experience of COVID-19 if they develop it. Research suggests that a SARS-CoV-2 infection results in increased hospitalization rates and greater severity of illness in people with diabetesor obesity. According to a 2020 study, obesity was the most commonly reported underlying medical condition — 72.5% — in healthcare personnel hospitalized for COVID-19 in the United States. Authors of a 2016 analysis indicate that plant-based diets could decrease inflammation and risk of chronic disease in people who have obesity. A 2019 review notes a plant-based diet may help prevent the development of overweight, obesity, and diabetes. Research also supports the diet’s cardiovascular benefits. A review in the British Journal of Nutrition suggests that people with optimal levels of micronutrients may be more resilient to COVID-19. Healthy vegan diets that include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants. These are compounds that fight free radicals and help counteract oxidative stress. The fiber in plant foods provides prebiotics to feed gut bacteria. Researchshows that plant-based diets influence the gut microbiome favorably, increasing bacterial diversity and potentially reducing inflammation. ... a plant-based or vegan diet may support a healthy immune system. This in turn can limit the risk of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as its serious health complications. Eating a plant-based diet may also help prevent the development of chronic health conditions that might cause complications or increase the severity of COVID-19 symptoms. A vegan diet may also help people reach a moderate weight and prevent obesity, reducing the risk of worse COVID-19 outcomes. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/covid-and-veganism
  8. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses overwhelmingly show that obesity is associated both with a higher risk for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and poorer outcomes for COVID-19 [2-4]. In the UK, a report flags that out of 10,465 patients critically ill with confirmed COVID-19, 73.7% were living with overweight or obesity [5]. Meanwhile, a report from Italy suggests 99% of deaths have been in patients with pre-existing conditions, including those which are commonly seen in people with obesity such as hypertension, cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. [6] Overweight and obesity also seem to be risk factors for worse outcomes in younger populations (<60 years old), with patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 34 being twice as likely to be admitted to ICU compared to individuals with a BMI under 30 [7]. https://www.worldobesity.org/news/obesity-and-covid-19-policy-statement

  10. Public health experts are blaming the indiscriminate use of steroids to treat COVID-19 as the likely cause. Steroids reduce inflammation in the lungs. But overuse of these drugs in COVID-19 patients can result in lowered immunity and raised blood sugar levels. These conditions leave some patients, particularly those with uncontrolled diabetes, susceptible to such infections. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/a-rare-black-fungus-is-infecting-many-of-indias-covid-19-patientswhy?cmpid=org=ngp::mc=social::src=facebook::cmp=editorial::add=fb20210515science-indiablackfungus&sf245907195=1
  11. Yes here where I live proof of antibodies is quite acceptable for travel or whatever. This is a good article:- Quit Ignoring Natural COVID Immunity — Antibody testing and proof of prior infection can allow more people to return to normal by Jeffrey Klausner, MD, MPH, and Noah Kojima, MD May 28, 2021 Epidemiologists estimate over 160 million people worldwide have recovered from COVID-19. Those who have recovered have an astonishingly low frequency of repeat infection, disease, or death. That immunity from prior infection protects many people now where vaccines are not yet available. ... Like many aspects of the Federal Government's response to COVID-19, the FDA's comment lags behind the science. Given that 90% to 99% of people who recover from COVID-19 develop detectable neutralizing antibodies, doctors can use the correct test to inform people of their risk. We can counsel patients that those who have recovered from COVID-19 have a strong protective immunity, protecting them from repeat infection, disease, hospitalization, and death. In fact, that protection is similar to or better than vaccine-induced immunity. Putting that together, people who have recovered from prior infection or those with detectable antibodies should be considered protected, similarly to someone who is vaccinated. Moving forward, policymakers should include natural immunity as determined by an accurate and reliable antibody test or the documentation of prior infection (previous positive PCR or antigen test), as evidence of immunity equal to that of vaccination. That immunity should be given the same societal status as vaccine-inducted immunity. Such a policy will greatly reduce anxiety and increase access to travel, events, family visits, and more. The updated policy will allow those who have recovered to celebrate their recovery by informing them of their immunity, allowing them to safely discard their masks, show their faces, and join the legions of those vaccinated. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zXvnXSvpw-gJ:https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/92836+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=im
  12. Yes there will be those who need protecting but those of us who are healthy and have had Covid don't need protecting as a test proves we have natural antibodies.
  13. Many of us have chosen not to have vaccinations and there are various different personal reasons why individuals make that decision. It is a personal choice that each person has the freedom to make.
  14. Expert haematologists advise against taking aspirin after AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine because it will not affect the occurrence of vaccine-associated thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VATT), which is driven by an immune response to something in the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. Furthermore, one of the problems with VATT is a low platelet count which means there is increased risk of bleeding. Aspirin will make this worse
  15. Equally many of us have chosen not to have the vaccine. It is an individual choice to make. No-one should pressurise someone subtly or otherwise into thinking that they must have the vaccine. In some countries public pressure and judgement is intense. This is the way of the world. It is not the way of our organisation. "Today Christians may make decisions that differ from those of other Christians when it comes to matters of employment, health, recreation, or some other area that involves personal choice. Such variety could disturb some... Love for fellowman moves us to respect the rights of others to make conscientious decisions in personal matters. (Romans 14:3, 4 g03 5/8 pp. 26-27 Does Christian Unity Require Uniformity?
