My Review of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59815346">The Bitcoin Standard</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17253334">Saifedean Ammous</a><br /> <br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;">uch as Martin Luther's polite letter of request posted on the Church's door, which was merely a simple request, that being asking for a return to the True God and the incontrovertible truth of nature, the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper reminds us of Jesus throwing out the corrupt middle men, degenerate money changers, and their monopoly on sacrificial-animal sales, from his Father's temple. (Sidenote: Muslims should thank protestants for ending the crusades)</span><div><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-size: 14.000001px;">The alternative, informal, and direct nature of Bitcoin is currently changing the world, similar to how the printing press changed the world and accelerated the already-in-progress renaissance. People in a Malawi village in Africa, who have never had electricity, are now able to access electricity via hydroelectric power via Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin is the ultimate anti-colonial power; it brings wealth to the countries that are accepting it, and then naturally deflates. Side note: At present, Nigeria is forced via international treaty to much all of </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-size: 15px;">its</span><span style="font-size: 14.000001px;"> grain to the USA, whereas Nigeria buys </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">its</span><span style="font-size: 14.000001px;"> grain from the USA. Regardless of one's thoughts on climate change, this can't be good for mankind. Meanwhile, other countries in Africa, who do not have their own currency, are required to buy the CFA/African Franc from the central bank of France to transact locally, but nations buy them at a 50% loss of their buying power.</span></span></span><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;">This book, in succinctly and in simple language, shows the history of money over time: Cows, West African beads, American wampum seashells+tobacco, the large, unmovable 5 ton stone coins of the Yap Islands (the first public ledger), silver, gold, and finally the life-changing discovery of true scarcity as laid out in Saratoshi Nagamoto's Bitcoin Whitepaper (*snicker*, Brad Sherman).</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); font-size: 14.000001px;">It also shows that Bitcoin has a better stock-to-flow ratio than even Gold. Gold is indestructible and does not lose it's luster, and humans have been mining, hoarding and exchanging it for thousands of years, and yet there is 10x as much Gold below the Earth's crust as above it. Gold mining also uses 10x the electricity that Bitcoin mining uses (this number might be different now), and 60% of Bitcoin mining is done is using renewable energy [and this number continually rises]). With Bitcoin, 92% has been hashed (cryptographically mined) as of 2023 and by 2028 98% to 99% of all the Bitcoin that will EVER exist, will exist. Bitcoin continues to naturally decentralize informally held wealth, continuously flowing out of banks and directly into the hands of humanity. For the first time in history, wealth will flow from the bottom-up rather than via the top-down MLM pyramid scam that is our extremely corrupt dishonesty, unscrupulousness, deception, fraud, immoral, criminal, villainous, graft, extortion, profiteering, crooked, sleazy, palm-greasing, malfeasant, sinful, profane, depravity, </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;">degeneracy, perversion, debauchery, decadence, wantonness, lechery, wickedness, evil, baseness that is unbacked fiat printing and the Cantillon effect (Thanks Google!). Humans unconsciously seek out a master, Lord, and King, and the invisible effect of printing paper monies that are not backed with grit/effort/work/energy/time/labor are being exposed and dethroned. You cannot destroy the invincible Smaug-like beast that has become the infinitely-tentacled addiction to printing fake money, but it will be severely injured.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;">My parents lost their mortgaged home due to ineptitude, and this spectre still harms my family to this day. If you only ever read one book on the subject, read this one. Bitcoin is an asset that is portable across all borders, of states where governments in the many forms of corrupt*ism cannot steal, reposess, rob, or even account, surveil or have knowledge of it's existence.</span><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818; font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.000001px;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59815346" style="padding-right: 20px;"><img alt="The Bitcoin Standard ระบบการเงินทางเลือกใหม่ไร้ศูนย์กลาง" border="0" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1639381044l/59815346._SX98_.jpg" /></a></div></div>Justin Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14587615344625475361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223859038348740749.post-26280798845979682632023-07-19T21:51:00.001-05:002023-07-19T21:51:58.599-05:00Explaining nostr to traditional folks:<div>This post was taken from <u>nostr:note1sml79x4y6hpuqy8xr2squdztjzxa59lkmv2560vv9aqne6z3hkwq3pn7vl</u></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Explaining nostr to traditional folks:</div><div><br></div><div>Nostr has no team, no leadership, no funding, no foundation, no token, no Blockchain, and no one has ever seen the creator of the project.</div><div><br></div><div>And yet, it's the fastest growing network of humans the world has ever seen.</div><div><br></div><div>It's simply an idea - some very simple words written in a markdown document.

A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and health care of his island nation.” </div><div><br></div><div>In 2016, Fidel Castro died and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made this statement about him. He had planned to travel to Cuba for the funeral, but canceled the trip after the public outcry over his statement. For a skillful politician like Justin Trudeau, this was more than a little odd, like watching Olympic athletes purposefully losing: there is more to the story. </div><div><br></div><div>Why did Justin Trudeau whitewash a murderous dictator’s legacy?</div><div>The Other Funeral</div><div>In 2000, Justin’s father Pierre died at the age of 80. Prime Minister of Canada from 1968-1979, his funeral was the end of a long and eventful life. Shocking observers was one of the honorary pallbearers.</div><div><br></div><div>It was Fidel Castro.</div><div><br></div><div>This was a man that rarely went outside of Cuba. Dictators stay where it’s safe because they’re paranoid about assassination attempts. Yet here he was, exposing himself to pay respects to his friend, almost like a pilgrimage. Once again, there is more to the story.</div><div><br></div><div>Why did Fidel Castro attend Pierre Trudeau’s funeral? </div><div>The Honeymoon</div><div>It was something of a scandal, that the bachelor prime minister had married. This was 1971, well before TMZ, so the public had no idea that Pierre Trudeau was even dating. He had been courting Margaret Sinclair for the previous 18 months and there she was, his 22-year old bride. </div><div><br></div><div>He was 30 years her senior and had been enjoying his bachelor lifestyle. The year before, he appeared in public with Barbara Streisand. Yes, he was dating Barbara Streisand publicly, while dating Margaret privately. He was an alpha male and the normal rules didn’t apply to him.</div><div><br></div><div>Pierre slept with many women including Liona Boyd (classical guitarist), Margot Kidder (actress), Gale Zoë Garnett (author) and Kim Cattrall (of Sex and the City fame). He dated multiple women at once and oftentimes would invite them to the same party. So when this lifelong bachelor got married, the public was shocked, as if a previously terrible baseball player suddenly won MVP.</div><div><br></div><div>Pierre and Margaret went to the Caribbean for their honeymoon. It was at this time that they went to an undisclosed island in the Caribbean. To quote The Ottawa Journal from April 13th, 1971:</div><div><br></div><div>“Barbados – Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret left here by chartered plane on a quick side-trip to an unidentified nearby island.” </div><div><br></div><div>The press revealed every other island that they had traveled to: Barbados, Tobago, Trinidad and St. Vincent. This is like showing your browsing history, but not revealing one particular website. There is more to the story.</div><div><br></div><div>Why would they not reveal this island?</div><div>Pierre</div><div>The only politically problematic Caribbean island to visit at the time was Cuba, a communist state and ally of the USSR. It’s possible that the press didn’t want to name another island for some reason, but it’s hard to imagine why.</div><div><br></div><div>Why would Pierre Trudeau want to visit Cuba? Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro had dealt with each other months earlier during the October Crisis in Montreal. Quebec nationalists (FLQ) kidnapped British Diplomat James Cross and held him for 59 days. The kidnappers eventually agreed to release the diplomat in return for safe passage to Cuba but there was one problem: Cuba had to agree to take them.</div><div><br></div><div>Pierre Trudeau called Castro and Castro agreed to take the kidnappers. The crisis was resolved. Trudeau afterwards sent a private letter expressing his heartfelt gratitude.</div><div><br></div><div>It’s hard to overstate what a big deal this was at the time. Trudeau had to resolve this crisis to stay in power. The solution of sending the kidnappers to Cuba was a godsend and the gratitude he felt was genuine. It’s hard to believe that a politically isolated dictator like Castro would save another world leader’s hide without asking for something in return, but that’s the story sold to the press. This would be like getting a favor from a mobster: completely out of character and hard to believe that there isn’t more to the story.</div><div><br></div><div>After this political crisis, wouldn’t they have needed or even wanted to meet each other? </div><div><br></div><div>Castro at the time was the target of many CIA assassination attempts, and he wasn’t leaving Cuba. Trudeau also couldn’t go to Cuba since that would anger the US, a valuable ally. The US had gone through the Cuban Missile Crisis just 8 years earlier and were actively at war with Communists in Vietnam. Like a Shakespearan tragedy, the only way for Trudeau and Castro to meet would be to do so in private.</div><div><br></div><div>What better way than to do so under the cover of a honeymoon?</div><div>Fidel</div><div>“Oh, what a charmer! You know why he’s in power, he’s got charisma coming out his ears.”</div><div><br></div><div>So said Margaret Trudeau about Fidel Castro during an interview. She also called him, “the sexiest man she had ever met” in her autobiography. In the video where she calls him a charmer, she gushes about him the same way a child does about Disneyland.</div><div><br></div><div>We all would like to think that dictators have horrible personalities since they do such horrendous acts, but this is rarely the case. Stalin had serious charisma, and even president Harry Truman said “I like that son of a bitch.” Hitler charmed little kids by giving them horsey rides. </div><div><br></div><div>Fidel was a really attractive man. At 6’3” with the build of a football player, he was powerful, good looking and had many, many lovers. One report has him sleeping with 35,000 (!) women during his lifetime. Villains in real life have personalities less like Voldemort and more like Casanova.</div><div><br></div><div>We don’t know what happened during this trip or if the trip even happened at all, but if the Trudeaus did go to Cuba in 1971, it’s safe to say that Fidel Castro charmed them. What we do know is that the Trudeaus visited Cuba in 1976 and they were lifelong friends after that trip. </div><div><br></div><div>Is a single trip enough to start a lifelong friendship? One that would result in being an honorary pallbearer and a politically risky eulogy?</div><div>Margaret</div><div>Margaret was 18 when she met Pierre Trudeau. He was justice minister at the time and she was a university student studying sociology. This was the late 60’s and she was a flower child. After graduating from university, she traveled the “hippie trail” in Europe and North Africa. She was an attractive young woman fully immersed in the ethic of free love, so her sexual mores were as non-traditional as Star Wars Day.</div><div><br></div><div>In her various autobiographies, she confesses to many affairs during her marriage. She admits to sleeping with Ted Kennedy, Jack Nicholson, Ryan O'Neal (Boxer), Lou Rawls (Singer) and Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) among others. She was also a heavy drug user, smoking pot in front of her security detail and partying at the notorious Studio 54. She was only 22 when she got married and she lived in the spotlight for the rest of her 20’s. She was more messed up than a college dorm room.</div><div><br></div><div>As mentioned above, Pierre’s sexual mores weren’t conventional either. He was sleeping with many beautiful women before his marriage. After 30 years of being a playboy, he was as likely to be a traditional husband as a Hollywood director.</div><div><br></div><div>Given Margaret’s assessment of Castro as sexy and having embraced the flower child/free love ethic of her years at university, is it crazy to think she would have slept with him?</div><div>Justin</div><div>Which brings us back to Justin Trudeau. He was born about 8.5 months after that possible April 13th, 1971 encounter, on December 25, 1971. The internet has noted his remarkable likeness to Fidel Castro, making us wonder whether the speculation has some truth.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Justin Trudeau today is the prime minister of Canada. We don’t know why he felt the need to exonerate a bloodthirsty dictator, but looking backward at the two funerals and a honeymoon, we have some clues as to why he might.</div><div><br></div><div>Napoleon once said that “History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.” History is full of official narratives that don’t match reality. We are left wondering at the accuracy of these stories given how little sense they make:</div><div><br></div><div>Did Pierre and Margaret have a normal marriage? Do powerful men like Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro and beautiful women like Margaret Trudeau observe traditional morality? Are world leaders like Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro always fully transparent? </div><div><br></div><div>The agreed-upon “official” stories conveniently make the powerful look good and hide their degeneracy. These stories don’t add up because they never reveal the other side of the equation: the power games, the humiliations and the sheer human depravity.</div><div><br></div><div>We may not be certain about Justin Trudeau’s paternity, but we can be certain that there’s a lot missing in the story. There are too many explanations that don’t make sense. Too many justifications that are “just-so.” We are being told lies, and for that, we should be outraged.</div><div><br></div><div>This story of Justin Trudeau’s paternity is just one of the many stories that we are told every day. The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories are crazier, yet people are far more ready to believe that than the Justin Trudeau one. The difference is that the Jeffrey Epstein story is more recent and we have far more familiarity with the details. We can’t let the lack of public knowledge prevent us from closer examination.</div><div><br></div><div>Because there is more to the story.</div>Justin Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14587615344625475361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223859038348740749.post-1767409836378674012023-01-05T10:36:00.003-06:002023-12-01T14:38:19.836-06:00Bitcoin explained in a correct and intelligible way - Translation of https://fiatjaf.com/bitcoin.html<p> This post is a translation of this post: <a href="https://fiatjaf.com/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin explained in a correct and intelligible way</a>:</p><h1 id="o-que-é-bitcoin" style="background-color: rgba(181, 204, 24, 0.1);

vertical-align: inherit;">Every now and then the response doesn't come, or it comes in a format the program doesn't understand, that means the other computer has gone offline, or is running an incompatible version of the program, and then everyone else will ignore it. </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;

vertical-align: inherit;">As they contain a reference to the previous one, there is a sequence, an Indian queue, and the computer can be calm knowing the order of the transactions (the transactions that happened in the third block are later than those that happened in the second block, for example) and know that the same bitcoins were not spent twice in a row by the same person, which would be invalid. </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;

He then says to the others: “here is my block, the hash of my block is 1798465042647412146620280340569649349251249, the predetermined factors of the block are 4 (these factors everyone can check), and my magic number is 3.

Then everyone accepts that block as valid and starts trying to find the magic number for the next block (and this time the block factors are different, since a new block was added to the chain and caused everything to change).</span></p><p style="background-color: white;

vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Ubuntu, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is why a Bitcoin wallet can say that you “have” x number of bitcoins: the wallet knows which private keys you control and which transa</span><span style="font-family: times;

vertical-align: inherit;">Before you ask yourself what happens if someone breaks a promise, I should say that "promise" is a bad term, because real promises can be broken, but these promises are self-fulfilling, they are signed transactions that can be redeemed at a later date. any time by the recipient simply by publishing them on the blockchain.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;

font-family: Ubuntu, serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; vertical-align: inherit;">When deciding to pay 200 satoshis to Bóris, they create a new transaction that transfers 800 to Angela and 200 to Bóris</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Ubuntu, serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; vertical-align: inherit;">Now Boris wants to pay 17 satoshis to Angela, they create a new transaction that transfers 817 to Angela and 173 to Boris</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;

The iodine is reduced to a 1% concentration in 100% ethyl alcohol</p><p>and electro-magnetically transmuted (while being suspended in a wet bath containing a</p><p>mild acid solution) into the Atomic state. 1 drop = 150 mcg or .150 mg of Iodine.

Two drops of this 5% solution contains 5 mg of iodine</p><p>and 7.5 mg of iodide – or commonly called 12.5 mg in tablet forms. Lugol’s is supplied</p><p>in milligram (mg) amounts vs other forms that are in micro gram amounts. This is the</p><p>preferred form of iodine supplementation as the body needs both forms of this nutrient.</p><p>The thyroid needs iodide and the breasts and prostate need iodine. Many other</p><p>tissues in the body can concentrate either form. These include glands like the salivary,</p><p>liver, spleen, kidneys and intestines.</p><p></p><p>c.</p><p><span style="color: #c00000;">KELP </span>–</p><p></p><p>While kelp does contain iodine it is not as high as you might be led to believe.</p><p>Kelp is a plant that is designed to clean toxins from the sea. Our oceans are getting</p><p>more and more contaminated with dumping from pharmaceutical and industrial</p><p>processing companies along with the Fukushima disaster which dumped large amounts</p><p>of toxic radioactive material into the ocean. Kelp has been tested and found to be high</p><p>in arsenic. For those concerned with health this is not a viable option.</p><p></p><p></p><p>It is recommended that the user consume Lugol’s formula. This is because it offers the</p><p>best solution for tissue saturation. When you consider the usage of iodine for thyroid</p><p>hormone creation plus halide protection, the recommended 150 mcg amount by the</p><p>RDA falls pathetically short. The body is reported to store 1,500 mgs of iodine in total.</p><p>The thyroid gland stores 50 mgs. Twenty percent of the total iodine is held in the skin.</p><p>Approximately 32% of iodine is stored in the muscles. This is why it is believed that</p><p>there are strong ties to fibromyalgia pain when the patient is iodine deficient.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: #c00000;">**NOT GOOD FORMS**</span></p><p>2.</p><p>How much Iodine do I need to take?</p><p>There are no set amounts that can be given as a blanket recommendation. Everyone needs</p><p>different amounts based on their body’s ability to utilize the nutrients as well as the level of</p><p>toxic halide exposure they have each day. If you are dealing with a severe health condition then</p><p>your dosages will need to be higher than those trying to maintain good health.</p><p>a.</p><p></p><p>Maintenance – It was once believed that a good maintenance dose is 25 mgs per day.</p><p>But with more information being gained about the exposures to halides bombarding our</p><p>systems (bromides, fluorides, chlorine) as well as mercury, etc., maintenance of health</p><p>may require higher doses of iodine. The iodine doctors are now beginning to believe</p><p>that 50 mgs may be the minimum required dose. Many iodine group members are</p><p>finding that dosages of 100 mgs cause them to feel the best. While this is anecdotal</p><p>information it is interesting to note.</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>4 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>b.</p><p></p><p>Pregnancy / Lactation – Iodine is important for both the mother and the baby. Children</p><p>who do not receive enough iodine in the womb while developing can develop cretinism.</p><p>Because iodine has the ability to push toxins out of the body (bromide, fluoride,</p><p>mercury, and lead) it is not desirable to push this to the blood stream so that it crosses</p><p>the placenta to the baby. During the 2007 Iodine Conference, the doctors discussed this</p><p>issue. Their final conclusion was to recommend that iodine be supplemented at 12.5</p><p>mgs per day if no prior supplementing / detoxing has been done before getting</p><p>pregnant. This applies to starting during lactation as well. One thing to note is that the</p><p>iodine will change the taste of the milk so if the baby refuses the breast, back the</p><p>dosage down and add slowly so that they can get used to the taste.

Vitamin C is also needed by the</p><p>symporters and helps to support them in their healing process which allows iodine to</p><p>more readily enter the cells. See <span style="color: blue;">https://optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-11/IOD_11.htm</span></p><p><i>Evidence that the administration of Vitamin C improves a defective cellular transport</i></p><p><i>mechanism for iodine: A Case Report</i> for additional information.</p><p>b.</p><p></p><p>Selenium – Selenium is used by the thyroid in the hormone creation process. There is a</p><p>selenium containing enzyme glutathione peroxidase which functions to keep the</p><p>hydrogen peroxide reduced to H2O after it converts iodide to iodine. This keeps H2O2</p><p>from damaging the tissues. When selenium is deficient this process of defense is</p><p>impaired. This can cause oxidative damage to TPO which could be the start of</p><p>autoimmune thyroiditis.</p><p></p><p>Selenium is also contained in iodothyronine deiodinase. This is an enzyme that is</p><p>responsible for the conversion of T4 to T3 (inactive to active hormone). A deficiency in</p><p>selenium would decrease this conversion activity.</p><p></p><p>Selenium is also needed for glutathione production in the liver which assist with</p><p>detoxification of the body.</p><p></p><p>c.</p><p></p><p>Magnesium – This nutrient works as a counter to excess calcium in the cells. When</p><p>there is excess, the oxidation process can be fueled. Magnesium will minimize the</p><p>oxidative stress on the cells. This stress can be one part of the autoimmune thyroid</p><p>issue.</p><p>d.</p><p></p><p>Unrefined Salt – The sodium in the salt binds with the bromide that is released by the</p><p>iodine and carries it out of the body through the kidneys. Unrefined salt contains over</p><p>80 minerals and is very supportive of the adrenal glands which can be stressed during</p><p>the detox process.</p><p>e.</p><p></p><p><i><span style="color: #c00000;">Optional</span></i>– ATP CoFactors (B2/B3) – You will see this recommended as a must have for</p><p>all individuals who are supplementing with iodine.

Dr Abraham also determined</p><p>that ATP Cofactors could be beneficial in healing the organification process. (Tg Ab may</p><p>be an indication of this issue.)

Iodine functions as an adaptogen – meaning it “knows” what</p><p>does not belong and works to destroy the bad bacteria in the gut. It does not destroy the good</p><p>bacteria (probiotics).

Can I take Iodine?</p><p>Yes, Dr. Brownstein believes that low iodine is one the key causes in autoimmune thyroid</p><p>disease. The following is an excerpt from Dr. Brownstein’s Iodine book.</p><p>THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF AUTOIMMUNE THYROID ILLNESSES:</p><p>IODINE DEFICIENCY AND ANTIOXIDANT DEFICIENCY</p><p>Chapter 7 described the apoptotic (i.e., anticancer) effects of the iodinated form of lactone (δ-</p><p>Iodolactone).</p><p>δ- Iodolactone is not only important for preventing cancer, its production is also necessary to help</p><p>regulate the oxidation of iodine. Figure 3 illustrates this regulatory step in the</p><p>oxidation/organification of iodine.</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>9 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p></p><p>As previously mentioned, the oxidation of iodide to iodine occurs through the interaction of H</p><p>2</p><p>O</p><p>2</p><p></p><p>and TPO. Iodine is a necessary product in order to provide the correct molecule in the cell so that</p><p>organification can occur. If organification does not take place or is blocked, thyroid hormone and</p><p>iodo-lipids will not be formed. As can be seen from Figure 3, this reaction is controlled by</p><p>intracellular calcium levels and iodinated lipids—</p><p>δ-iodolactone.</p><p>Intracellular calcium stimulates this pathway. On the other hand, δ-iodolactone and other iodinated</p><p>lipids act as a brake on the system. If there is not enough iodine in the cell to organify and produce</p><p>adequate amounts of δ-iodolactone, it can set the stage for damage to the thyroid cell and the</p><p>development of an autoimmune thyroid disorder such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.</p><p>A Proposed Mechanism for the Development of</p><p>Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders</p><p>The NADPH oxydase system is found in the mitochondria of our cells. The mitochondria are the</p><p>energy-producing cells of our body. The mitochondria produce energy (i.e., ATP) through a complex</p><p>process called oxidative phosphorylation. All medical students (and most physicians) are familiar</p><p>with oxidative phosphorylation because we have to memorize the many steps responsible for</p><p>producing ATP. This production of ATP requires many items including: oxygen, magnesium, ADP,</p><p>and amino acids.</p><p>Many people with chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune</p><p>disorders, complain they have no energy. ATP is the molecule that stores energy for the body. The</p><p>body is constantly producing and utilizing ATP. Its production is a complex process that is beyond</p><p>this book. However, there are two cofactors, Vitamins B2 (<i>riboflavin</i>) and B3 (<i>niacin</i>), that are</p><p>integral to stimulating oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production.</p><p>Hydrogen peroxide is a byproduct of oxidative phosphorylation. It is this production of hydrogen</p><p>peroxide that is so critical to the oxidation process of iodine. Hydrogen peroxide and TPO help to</p><p>oxidize iodide to form iodine.</p><p>If there is a deficiency in iodine, which is common when ingesting the RDA for iodine, there will not</p><p>be enough substrate (i.e., iodine) to produce iodinated lipids. As can be seen from Figure 3, the lack</p><p>of δ-iodolactone and other iodinated lipids results in a loss of the ‘brake’ in the pathway to oxidize</p><p>iodide. This may result in a temporarily production of too much hydrogen peroxide. This excess</p><p>hydrogen peroxide can damage the enzyme TPO.</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>10 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>What Happens If TPO Is Damaged? Autoimmune Thyroid Illness</p><p>The body’s response to TPO damage is to produce antibodies against TPO or anti-TPO antibodies. A</p><p>diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease requires the presence of anti-TPO antibodies. As the damage</p><p>worsens, surrounding proteins can also be damaged such as thyroglobulin. Damaged thyroglobulin</p><p>will result in the body producing antibodies against thyroglobulin—anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.</p><p>In most cases of Hashimoto’s disease, there are antibodies to both TPO and thyroglobulin present.</p><p>Although Graves’ disease may also possess these same antibodies, antibody production is not</p><p>necessary to make the diagnosis of Graves’ disease. However, my clinical experience has shown that</p><p>the treatment for both Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease can follow a similar course with similar</p><p>positive outcomes.</p><p>How to Treat Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders</p><p>1. Ingest enough iodine in order to provide adequate substrate to iodinate lipids.</p><p></p><p>2. Take Vitamins B2 (Riboflavin) and B3 (Niacin) in amounts necessary to stimulate the NADPH</p><p>system to produce adequate amounts of H</p><p>2</p><p>O</p><p>2</p><p>.</p><p>3.

Ensure adequate magnesium levels.</p><p><i>5. </i>Minimize oxidative stress in the body.<i></i></p><p>16.</p><p>Why does iodine work for Hashimotos?</p><p>There are many healthcare professionals that are warning of the terrible consequences for</p><p>those with Hashimotos who take high doses of iodine. But they are VERY wrong. The lack of</p><p>iodine is actually part of the reason as to why Hashimotos has occurred. Iodine is needed to</p><p>support the body in balancing this autoimmune condition. There are several things that you</p><p>need to look at and consider when listening to these doctors warnings.</p><p>a.</p><p></p><p>How much iodine do they discuss? In most cases they discuss microgram (mcg) or low</p><p>milligram (mg) dosing in the examples they site that had outcomes resulting in disaster.</p><p>Yes, this is exactly what may happen. In some individuals when given microgram</p><p>amounts you do “stoke the fire” and cause an increase in antibody attack on the thyroid</p><p>gland. That’s not what we teach.</p><p>b.</p><p></p><p>Where do they stop their discussion? In watching many videos and reading the articles</p><p>of the doctors sounding the alarm, they take iodine through the biological process in the</p><p>gland where iodine enters the cell and is oxidated from iodide to iodine and then they</p><p>exclaim – “See the oxidation creates inflammation and that increases antibodies.” Right</p><p>again! But there is one problem. The body’s process doesn’t stop there. When iodine</p><p>is supplied in levels OVER what is needed to create thyroid hormones there is a magical</p><p>substance that is created called iodolipids. These iodolipids are the regulatory factor on</p><p>the oxidation process. Iodolipids, when created, will put the brakes on the oxidative</p><p>process before it runs out of control and “burns” the cells creating an inflammatory</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>11 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>response. The body sees inflammation / abnormal cells and creates and antibody attack</p><p>against them as a natural response. The key is to stop this from occurring.</p><p>c.</p><p></p><p>Where they go wrong. Dr Brownstein has written about this in his book <i>Iodine Why you</i></p><p><i>Need it Why You Can’t Live Without It</i>. He has determined that when iodine is supplied</p><p>in amounts 100x the RDA of 150 mcg (or 15 mgs) that the body will begin to create</p><p>these iodolipids. So you can see that giving microgram amounts causes a big issue for</p><p>those with Hashimotos. In this case the mantra of “low and slow” can actually create a</p><p>bigger issue. This causes many to give up on iodine because their condition seems to</p><p>worsen. So the next time you see a doctor or listen to one that discusses the dangers of</p><p>high doses of iodine for Hashimotos ask them…. <i>“What about the iodolipids?”</i></p><p>17.</p><p>My TSH went up on Iodine.</p><p>This is a common occurrence when a person starts to take iodine after being deficient. The</p><p>body increases TSH to stimulate production of thyroglobulin which is used to bind to the iodine</p><p>in thyroid hormone production. TSH is also the method the body uses to stimulate the NIS</p><p>(sodium iodine symporters) to take iodine into the cells. Individuals can have TSH levels as high</p><p>as 75 for up to 6 months without clinical signs of hypothyroidism. To monitor your thyroid</p><p>“health” accurately, labs that check the Free T3 and Free T4 should be run. You will find in most</p><p>cases that the “frees” are nicely within the ranges while the TSH remains high.</p><p>18.</p><p>I have adrenal fatigue. Can I take Iodine?</p><p>Yes, Iodine is used by every gland and mucosal lining and is needed to heal the adrenals. You</p><p>should also use unrefined salt to support them as well as Vitamin C. Other products such as</p><p>ashwaganda, licorice root, rhodiola, and adrenal glandulars can help to support the adrenals. In</p><p>severe conditions a doctor can prescribe hydrocortisone (HC) to replace the body’s deficiency.</p><p>19.</p><p></p><p>I have breast cancer and would like to learn more about using Iodine.</p><p></p><p>The best resources for learning about breast cancer and iodine is the book by Dr. David Derry.

This is usually met with jubilation that they are at a good</p><p>level. But wait! This isn’t a place to stop. A bromide level test should be added to the loading</p><p>test. It is highly recommended because it gives a clearer picture of what the TRUE status of the</p><p>saturation level is. As a general rule if you see a higher saturation level (80% or above) with a</p><p>bromide level over 5 mgs/L (the upper limit of normal per Dr. Guy Abraham) you are bromide</p><p>toxic and the receptors that would normally be able to pull iodine into the cells cannot because</p><p>bromide is blocking the receptors. Because they are blocked, it would result in a high level of</p><p>iodine being eliminated in the urine indicating (falsely) that you are more saturated than you</p><p>are. Persons with results such as these should consider supplementing with Lugol’s formula</p><p>(liquid or tablet) in doses of 50 mgs or more for 6 mos to 1 year and then retest with the 24 hour</p><p>Iodine Loading and Bromide level test to see what the new levels are.</p><p></p><p>Another reason for a false high reading in saturation levels is due to defects in the symporters of</p><p>the cells.

This bile can also contain the conjugated</p><p>toxins from the Phase 2 liver process.</p><p>In order for the liver to function properly and produce enough bile, adequate protein is essential. Amino</p><p>acids are critical for phase I and 2 liver detoxification. L-Taurine is essential for bile formation. Cysteine</p><p>is the precursor to the antioxidant Glutathione. Glutathione cleans up free radicals and toxins that end</p><p>up in the bile that is excreted to the intestines. Hydration is critical during this process because 85% of</p><p>the bile is made of water. The nutrient Betaine (trimethylglycine) is a powerful liver detoxifier. Betain</p><p>can be found in the highest concentrations in beets and beet greens.</p><p>The bile that is excreted during digestion breaks up the fat into tiny pieces. These pieces then enter the</p><p>intestinal tract where villi on the wall of the intestines (sweeping back and forth) pick up the particles</p><p>with the toxins and pull them off the wall and through the intestinal lining into the gut associated</p><p>lymphatic tissue. These villi also pull off good fats as well (nutrients). If the bile is not adequate from</p><p>the liver then these fat soluble toxins will not be broken down adequately.</p><p>Gut associated lymphatic tissue on the outside of the intestinal tract is approximately ¼ inch in size. Fat</p><p>soluble chemicals are pulled through the villi into this tissue and attacked by the white blood cells of the</p><p>lymphatic system where they are processed by over 500 lymph nodes and neutralized for the body to</p><p>detoxify and carry them out.</p><p>If you have a sluggish lymphatic system or congestion issues it will be presented in things like allergies,</p><p>belly fat, itchiness, fatigue, headaches, cellulite, and breast swelling and tenderness.</p><p>The integrity of the villi is important. If you have chronic stress, constipation, or irritation of the bowel a</p><p>reactive mucous may form which cause the villi to stick to the wall of the intestines thus inhibiting it</p><p>from absorbing not only the toxins but also the fat soluble nutrition.</p><p>When the malabsorption occurs, then toxins will move on to the large intestines. The bile will hook up</p><p>to the chemicals and pull them back into the liver. 90% of the bile gets reabsorbed into the liver. The</p><p>liver becomes overwhelmed and congested. The bile then becomes thick and doesn’t flow as well.</p><p>Which means that you won’t have enough bile to detoxify the fats that come through the next time.</p><p>If the liver becomes too congested, it will send the fats back out into the blood stream. The blood</p><p>stream will look for fatty tissues to store them in and they will go into the fat cells. (Pathway: Liver to</p><p>Blood to Fat Cells) The most common fat cells that they find are in our brain. As we age and become</p><p>more toxic we lose memory, cognitive function and clarity. This is due to toxic fat soluble build up in the</p><p>brain.</p><p>The key to detoxification is to optimize digestion.</p><p></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"></span></p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>18 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>Fat soluble toxins – heavy metals, parasites, pesticides, bad bacteria and other cancer causing</p><p>chemicals.</p><p>Indicators of an issue –</p><p>1.</p><p>Blood sugar imbalance</p><p>2.</p><p>GERD / acid reflux</p><p>3.</p><p>Allergies</p><p>4.</p><p>Skin issues</p><p>5.</p><p>Hormone imbalance</p><p>6.</p><p>Mucous in stools</p><p>7.</p><p>Constipation</p><p>8.</p><p>Loose stools</p><p>9.</p><p>Belly fat storage</p><p>10. Feeling nauseated after a meal (especially high in fat)</p><p></p><p>FIBER - Another issue with “re-poisoning” of the body is low fiber diets. If we don’t eat enough soluble</p><p>fiber, our bile is repeatedly circulated instead of being ushered out of the body (toxins and all). Over</p><p>time it becomes very concentrated with toxins which can lead to inflammation, gall bladder disease,</p><p>intestinal inflammation, skin issues – like acne, eczema and psoriasis. Remember that the inflammation</p><p>of the intestines creases the mucosa that causes the villi to get stuck to the wall and not absorb the fats</p><p>into the outer layer for detoxification. This also makes you nutrient deficient due to malabsorption.</p><p>Cellular toxicity</p><p>The cellular wall is made of lipids and proteins. Because of this lipid soluble compounds are able to pass</p><p>freely into it gaining free access to the cellular interior. This is where it becomes much more difficult to</p><p>remove the toxins. It is best to keep the toxins moving out (as described above) than to allow them to</p><p>be stored because of a congested detoxification system.</p><p>Blood acidity is one of the biggest hindrances to detoxifying the cells. Acidity can come from the foods</p><p>we eat, beverages we drink as well as low levels of oxygen content. We need to keep our body in an</p><p>alkaline state to assist with detoxification.</p><p>Some strategies to alkalize the body:</p><p>1.</p><p></p><p>Start your morning with clean filtered water with lemon juice. Drink ½ your weight in ounces</p><p>throughout the day (150 lb person would drink 75 oz)</p><p>2.</p><p></p><p>Eat foods rich in alkalizing minerals</p><p>3.</p><p></p><p>Consume unrefined salt rich in minerals</p><p>4.</p><p></p><p>Snack on raw almonds. These are rich in magnesium and calcium which helps to maintain</p><p>alkalinity in the body.</p><p>5.</p><p></p><p>Eat less red meat. This can have an acidic effect on the body</p><p>6.</p><p></p><p>Increase the number of vegetables in your diet.</p><p>7.</p><p></p><p>Take deep breaths. Many people take shallow breaths. Concentrate on filling your lungs with</p><p>oxygen several times to increase oxygen in the blood stream.</p><p>8.</p><p></p><p>Exercise – This is one of the best ways to increase oxygen, get the lymphatic system moving and</p><p>increase toxin elimination.</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>19 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"></span></p><p>24.</p><p>Importance of Healthy Gut Flora</p><p>Another culprit in the detoxification arena is the importance of healthy gut flora. The</p><p>gastrointestinal tract is approximately 25 feet long. Within this intestinal tract are friendly</p><p>bacteria and not so friendly bacteria. When the unfriendly bacteria become the dominant force,</p><p>trouble occurs. This is called gut dysbiosis.</p><p>The gut has three primary functions:</p><p></p><p></p><p>Digestion of foods & converstion to vitamins</p><p></p><p></p><p>Absorption of nutrients</p><p></p><p></p><p>Prevention of pathogens and toxins from entering the body</p><p>There are approximately 500 species of bacteria along with yeast and other organisms in the</p><p>gastrointestinal tract. These items are what make up the gut flora. The friendly bacteria are</p><p>vital for proper digestion and for maintaining the overall health of the intestines. Most of these</p><p>bacterial have names that begin with “Lactobacillus” or “Bifidobacteria”. These are the classes</p><p>of bacteria that they belong to.</p><p>Disruption of the balance of the organisms in the intestinal tract can lead to an overgrowth of</p><p>the bad forms of bacteria. Several factors can be indicated in this degradation.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Use of hormones such as immunosuppresssants (like steroids)</p><p></p><p></p><p>Alcohol</p><p></p><p></p><p>Stress</p><p></p><p></p><p>Antibiotic usage (abuse of)</p><p></p><p></p><p>Diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates.</p><p>The dysbiosis of the gut can often be seen in medical conditions such as acne, food allergies,</p><p>depression, and chronic fatigue. A beneficial balance of the good bacteria can be restored</p><p>through supplementation of prebiotics and probiotics. If left untreated, the dysbiosis will result</p><p>in leaky gut syndrome which causes the lining of the bowel to increase permeability of the</p><p>intestines allowing toxins to pass through to the blood stream.</p><p>Healthy gut bacteria has an important role. It is responsible for synthesizing all the B Vitamins</p><p>along with Vitamin K and amino acids. These bacteria also “grab” toxic chemicals, heavy metals,</p><p>and carcinogenic environmental toxins. It either holds on to the toxins and is eliminated</p><p>through the colon or neutralizes it. It stops the toxins from passing back into the blood stream.</p><p><span style="color: #333333;"></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"></span></p><p>25.</p><p>Detox Strategies</p><p>Saunas - Infrared Saunas can be a beneficial tool to the detoxification process. Since the skin is</p><p>the largest detoxification organ it is a great way to remove them. This also improves circulation,</p><p>increases oxygenation and helps to eliminate congestion.</p><p>Dry Brushing – This can help to boost circulation and stimulate the lymphatic system to release</p><p>toxins. It also helps to remove dead skin that can clog pores where toxins can be released.</p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>20 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>Using a natural brush, gently brush in a circular movement towards the heart. Start at the soles</p><p>of your feet working up your legs and then move to your hands and arms. Brush your back from</p><p>your buttocks up and around to the stomach. Brush the stomach area with a counter clockwise</p><p>motion.</p><p>Detox Baths – Detox baths can be beneficial especially when dealing with skin breakouts. Add</p><p>the following items to very warm water and soak for 20 mins. Double the recipe for a large tub.</p><p>These baths can be taken several times a week.</p><p>1 Cup Epsom Salts or Dead Sea Salt</p><p>1 Cup Hydrogen Peroxide</p><p>½ Cup Baking Soda</p><p>28 Day Food Elimination and Detoxification – Metagenics offers a 28 day detox program that I</p><p>used when fighting cancer. I completed one 28 day cycle before my last round of radioactive</p><p>iodine and then again after I received my last treatment. It is not an easy task to perform but I</p><p>will testify that it is worth it. I felt better than I had in years. My joint pain was relieved, brain</p><p>fog lifted and I even lost weight. This protocol involves the usage of 3 canisters of the product</p><p>and a strict dietary program. During this time you will eliminate foods that can be inflammatory</p><p>or an allergen for many and then they are slowly added back after the program is complete.</p><p>This allows you to adequately evaluate what may be causing issues with your body.</p><p>Milk Thistle – Studies have shown that milk thistle can help to protect and promote the growth</p><p>of liver cells. It helps to fight oxidation which protects the cells from damage. In 16 trials by the</p><p>NIH they also concluded that the supplement helped to protect the liver through antioxidant</p><p>activity, enhanced protein synthesis, and toxic blockade at the membrane level that inhibits</p><p>membrane peroxidation. Milk thistle helps to slow the depletion of glutathione which is</p><p>important for the phase 2 detoxification process in the liver.</p><p>Dandelion Root Extract – The root of this plant can act as a mild laxative. It has also been</p><p>known to improve digestion. Preliminary research suggest that dandelion may help to improve</p><p>the function of the liver and gallbladder. In folk medicine it is used as a liver stimulant and tonic.</p><p>The University of Maryland Medical Center has indicated that dandelion root may boost the</p><p>production of beneficial bacteria in the intestines.</p><p>Yellow Dock – In traditional medicine yellow dock has been thought to be a blood purifier and</p><p>detoxifier of the liver. Yellow dock stimulates bile production which aids in digestion. It is</p><p>effective in preventing toxins from entering the gallbladder, bloodstream and liver.</p><p>Lymphomyosot – This is a homeopathic formula from HEEL that is used to support the</p><p>lymphatic, immune and circulatory systems. The formula contains homeopathically prepared</p><p>herbs that are intended to promote lymphatic health by reducing swelling from poor circulation</p><p>and environmental toxins. Assists in normal detoxification.

But the curse comes from the large amount of toxins being released</p><p>which in most cases, cannot be eliminated quickly and effectively. The average person has no</p><p>idea just how toxic they become. By the time illness sets in, the toxicity is more than likely very</p><p>high. There are some who begin iodine supplementing and feel no detoxing effects while others</p><p>have terrible side effects that are triggered by just a small amount of supplementing. Still more</p><p>experience weight gain. I believe that the information in this document holds the key to this</p><p>issue and offers options for dealing with it.</p><p>If you are going to embark on an iodine supplementing protocol it would be a prudent to assess</p><p>your current toxicity status. Do you have any of the symptoms that were listed previously that</p><p>may indicate a congested detoxification system? If yes, then it may be best to undergo a detox</p><p>program prior to beginning iodine. A few weeks of concentrated support with the purpose of</p><p>increasing bile, cleaning up the diet and cleansing the body will offer a better start to your</p><p>journey.</p><p>If you are experiencing detoxing while supplementing, the strategies listed previously can help</p><p>to lessen the severity of the process. Intermittent supplementing (taking iodine a few days on</p><p>with a few days off) is a strategy that I used when toxic and detoxing faster than my body could</p><p>handle. During this time you continue to take the supporting nutrients outlined in the Guide to</p><p>Supplementing while taking a break from iodine. The Salt Loading protocol can also help to</p><p>move bromide out of the body more quickly and effectively so that it is not recirculated and</p><p>stored in the body.</p><p>The saying “No pain no gain” is not something you want to strive for. The goal is to</p><p>supplementing with enough iodine to release toxins while not releasing too quickly so that it</p><p>stresses the body and overloads the detox pathways. A steady low level detox that is well</p><p>supported will get you to your destination – abundant health.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><h1 style="break-before: page;"></h1><p></p><p></p><p>Revision 3/7/2015</p><p>22 | <span style="color: #7f7f7f;">P a g e</span></p><p></p><p>27.</p><p>INDEX</p><p>Adrenal fatigue................................................. 11</p><p>Antibodies ........................................................ 10</p><p>Atomidine iodine................ <i>See Detoxified iodine</i></p><p>ATP ................................................................. 6, 9</p><p>ATP CoFactors</p><p>as optional supporting nutrient .................... 4</p><p>physiology ...................................................... 9</p><p>Autoimmune thyroid diseases</p><p>mechanism causing ........................................ 9</p><p>treatment of ................................................. 10</p><p>underlying cause ............................................ 8</p><p>Breast cancer ................................................... 11</p><p>Bromide testing</p><p>in combination with iodine loading test ...... 11</p><p>ordering .................................................. 12, 13</p><p>second testing .............................................. 11</p><p>Bromides .........................

West's Debt to China?<p> Rescued from the wayback machine:</p><p>https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.computersmiths.com/chineseinvention/westdebt.htm</p><p><br /></p><h4>Randy Smith - Monterey Peninsula College</h4><p>As scholars and citizens of the world understand more of the inter-relationships of cultures, we gain an appreciation of the evolution of civilization as a cross-fertilization of many cultures over the few thousand years of recorded history. I am intrigued about the process of sharing of information and discovery among societies, often separated by distance, language and value systems. As we discover the remarkable advances in science and technology in ancient China, we immediately attempt to make connections in information transfer to other parts of the world. How much discovery was shared with the West, or were similar discoveries independent? Perhaps the circumstances of early discovery and invention in China do not constitute a <i>debt</i>, since so many inventions were not widely used, transferred, or used as a basis for additional discovery. However, it is instructive to note the early Chinese advancement in so many fields. Other directions that should be explored include questions about why the early Chinese technology so often died out. Why indeed did progress stall at about the time when Western civilization was awakening from their Dark Ages?</p><p>Information in the form of invention and discovery is often shared (or incorporated) due to the nature of the perceived value to others. Technology exchange can begin any time new ideas are demonstrated, and of course no records exist for the vast number of interactions of civilizations over the centuries. Marco Polo's travels to China in the 13th century offered Western society a look at undiscovered (to them) goods and ideas. Ideas and inventions often were added to the "native" culture with little notice of the origination. One of the greatest secrets of history is the immense contribution of Chinese society to the Western world. Equally interesting, is the failure of some discovery in China to cross over to Western civilization, or even to survive into modern times. For example, a small pox vaccination was used in China in the 10th century, and then 800 years later in the West. However, the practice of modern diagnostic medicine was not widespread in China in more modern times. The mechanical clock was invented in China in the 8th century, and then independently in Europe in 1310. When the Chinese imperial court was shown a mechanical clock by Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century, the scholars were awestruck.</p><p>It seems that much of Western and Eastern knowledge of Chinese contributions have either been forgotten or overlooked. The <b>Encyclopedia Britannica</b>, 1999, describes in the history of the magnetic compass, that the Chinese were using the magnetic compass around AD 1100, western Europeans by 1187, Arabs by 1220, and Scandinavians by 1300. But we know that Chinese ships reached the east coast of India prior to 1000 with help of the navigational compass.</p><p>Early in 2003, a fascinating speculative chronicle on Chinese discovery (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/explorer/0593050789/2/ref=pd_lpo_ase/026-9502506-5478808?ie=UTF8"> 1421: The Year China Discovered America</a>) was released by the British author/historian/mariner Gavin Menzies, detailing evidence for Chinese exploration of the globe. The voyages of the massive fleet of the explorer Zheng He, sailing west from China in the fifteenth century is a fascinating story. The author speculates and makes a strong case for Chinese exploration succeeding well beyond what is commonly taught World History (and unfortunately this important Asian history is often completely overlooked). <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.1421.tv/" title="Website for book">Circumstances and artifacts</a> in several locales serve to support Menzies' case, but much more scrutiny of facts in evidence will be required to validate some of his assertions. However the value in critically examining new ideas expands our understanding, and should not be interpreted as glorification of a specific culture, degrading another, or as gratuitous inclusion of some minority position.</p><p>As so much of Chinese history and culture have been buried by the centuries and purged by tyrants, arguments for history are developed by research and conjecture almost totally dependent on circumstantial evidence. My own interpretations of some of this history is presented with a desire to stimulate interest in not only the events and accomplishments, but also the process of using knowledge gained to better the current and future world. Knowledge can be a laudable achievement in its own right, and the application for technology to enhance life quality is often the next step to benefit civilization. I am interested here in what was achieved, how it was used, what was transferred to other cultures, and why sometimes the early discoveries did not lead to even more achievement.</p><p>It really is more accurate to think of accumulation of knowledge of history and culture to be a synthesis of East and West. Combined in an all-pervading fusion of beliefs and understanding, often masked by ignorance and language, we try to explain ideas and culture in terms of the familiar. For example, when examining novel inventions, it is not prudent to assume that this demonstrated technology is a byproduct of applied science. In fact science may be missing in the "discovery" process. Design and production trumped controlled experimentation, theoretical study, and scientific processes. Such often was the case with some of the early Chinese inventions. It seems that they often "knew" a lot more than they understood. The scientific method, and necessary steps for validation of theories with observations was seldom employed. Historically, China's approach to applied science followed the utilitarian view of technology development.</p><p>Throughout history, dynasties in China have arisen to set contemporary standards in terms of military might, population unification, and accomplishments in technology, arts and literature. However, the world-wide influence has often been minimized due to policies of self-imposed isolation. Inventions and discovery should contribute to the well-being of humanity, but historically in China they have been guarded, inaccessible, and purged at the whim of leaders. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.scidev.net/en/news/chinese-innovation-too-isolated-.html?utm_source=link&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=en_news" title="Chinese innovation too isolated, 23 Sep 2008">Jia Hepeng writing </a>in the online publication <b>Science and Development Network </b>makes a case that China's innovation system is not fully developed and inadequately integrated. He describes the system as an "archipelago", a large number of "innovative islands" with insufficient links between them. Unfortuanately, the collective behavior of modern China too closely matches their history. Optimistically, we look forward to successful innovation in modern China that is used to improve conditions globally.</p><p>This publication of some of the contributions of China for invention and discovery is an on-going hobby of research into documents that will help to uncover some of these historical mysteries. Much of the ideas and contributions have been taken from the works of Joseph Needham, begun in Cambridge in 1948, and published in many volumes of <b><i>Science and Civilisation in China</i></b> (1954-1985). I have cited numerous passages from Robert Temple's <b><i>The Genius of China - 3,000 years of science, discovery and invention</i></b> (1986, Simon and Schuster). The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.computersmiths.com/chineseinvention/index.html">timeline</a> is constructed to help us to develop relations and connections of history that can help reach an understanding of how knowledge has been gained, and sometimes lost. Needham's original texts were not available to me for this rather cursory survey, and I often relied on Temple's interpretations, which are sometimes lacking in supporting facts. However, the examples of Chinese Scientism and statements of later Western implementation will hopefully serve as a discussion point for a more detailed query into the connections of ideas leading to worldwide technology. Consider Needham's and Temple's list of discoveries and inventions by categories below, that have contributed so much to world societies.</p><p align="left"><b>Agricultural</b></p><div align="left"><ul><li>Row Cultivation of crops and intensive hoeing</li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090523205946/http://www.computersmiths.com/chineseinvention/ironplow.htm">The Iron Plow</a></li><li>Efficient Horse Harness - trace;

I am aware that Needham and Temple are often overly enthusiastic regarding their views of Chinese achievements pre-dating some of the West. Often the "discovery" was only an implementation of some aspect of technology with little or no development of the science. Some questions that I would like to explore include:</p><blockquote>What were the major factors that turned the advanced civilization (on a large scale) of China two thousand years ago, into the more comparatively undeveloped status of today?<br />Why were some of the major discoveries of China not refined and advanced to accelerate into more and more technological achievements?<br />Did the absence of a period of Dark Ages, and subsequent Renaissance serve to inhibit fast dissemination of achievements?<br />What part did politics, ethics, religion, international conflict, etc., play on the advancement of technology from discovery to national service?</blockquote><p></p><p>This site will be used to develop and integrate my impressions with others, and hopefully will serve as a collaboration for readers to share our own ideas.

While the entire country of Italy is in lockdown and confirmed cases of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, are increasing in the United States, having recently exceeded 1,600 diagnoses, in China, seemingly, the crisis has stabilized…at least for the moment. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In addition to containing the spread of the disease in China through mandatory quarantines and the expedited building of treatment facilities, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has proven to be very effective in treating coronavirus patients. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Usually, TCM doctors treat patients holistically rather than dispense a one-remedy-fits-all solution. However, with COVID-19, these are unusual times. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
TCM diagnostics such as tongue and pulse analyses are still par for the course in many hospitals across China. Yet with thousands of patients stricken by the disease, an official, state-level TCM formula was deemed necessary for mass treatment procedures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And the name of the official formula to treat coronavirus is…</div>

Qing Fei Pai Du Tang For Pneumonia & Other Coronavirus Complications</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
After it became clear that the winning strategy for treating coronavirus patients was by combining Western and traditional medicine, China’s General Office of the National Health and Health Commission, announced a recommended formula for all provinces in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The General Office’s recommendation, made jointly with the Office of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a formula called “Qing Fei Pai Du Tang.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Containing 21 herbal ingredients, Qing Fei Pai Du Tang has been used to treat thousands of patients, ranging from the mild to severe. For critically-ill patients, the formula is modified, and modern treatment interventions are necessary. </div>

In the USA, finding the official Chinese formula for Qing Fei Pai Du Tang is next to impossible, as two of the ingredients above are banned by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The two banned substances are Ephedra (Ma Huang) and Asari (Xi Xin). </div>

How Does Qing Fei Pai Du Tang Work?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Zhang Boli, a member of the Chinese central government’s expert committee for coronavirus treatment, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and director of personnel at Jiangxia TCM hospital in Wuhan, perhaps said it best, quoting a tenet of TCM philosophy: </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
“When the right force (Qi) is preserved, the evils have no place to stay.” </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The evil that Dr. Zhang is referring to is an external pathogenic attack such as coronavirus. Qing Fei Pai Du Tang, on a top-level theory, expels the evil, viral insult. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In addition to Qing Fei Pai Du Tang, Dr. Zhang also recommends the formula <a class="retail-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20200417155503/https://www.activeherb.com/shengmai/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Sheng Mai Yin</a> to support Qi. (From a Western perspective, Sheng Mai Yin increases blood-oxygen saturation levels, thus improving respiration.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
According to TCM theory, coronavirus is an epidemic damp disease (湿疫), ranging from damp cold to damp heat, depending on the stage of disease progress and individual conditions. Qing Fei Pai Du Tang works by ventilating the lungs, releasing the exterior, clearing heat and phlegm, and promoting water removal; the formula is acrid and cooling in nature. </div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Song Myung", serif; font-size: 28px !important; font-weight: 400 !important; letter-spacing: -0.25px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 45px 0px 25px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;">
Is There Proof That Qing Fei Pai Du Tang Works?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
As mentioned in our <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20200417155503/https://www.activeherb.com/blog/is-tcm-helping-to-treat-coronavirus-in-china.html" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">previous blog post</a>, the formula has been dispensed to coronavirus patients throughout China with successful results. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
In one study announced by China’s State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 701 confirmed coronavirus cases treated by Qing Fei Pai Du were analyzed. The 701 cases spanned 57 medical institutions in 10 provinces. Out of the 701 patients, 130 were cured and discharged; symptoms of 51 patients completely disappeared; 268 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and 212 presented with stable symptoms (those symptoms did not worsen). </div>
<div class="x-short-quote-right" style="background-color: grey; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: white; float: none; font-family: "Song Myung", serif; font-size: 20px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px 20px 10px 50px; position: relative; width: 331.766px;">
Containing 21 herbal ingredients, Qing Fei Pai Du Tang has been used to treat thousands of patients, ranging from the mild to severe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Before taking Qing Fei Pai Du Tang, 112 cases presented with a body temperature exceeding 37.3°C (99.14 F). After the herbal decoction was taken for just one day, 51.8% of the patients returned to normal temperature. After taking the remedy for six days, 94.6% of patients’ temperatures returned to normal. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
And out of the 701 cases, 214 patients presented with cough symptoms. After one day of taking Qing Fei Pai Du Tang, 46.7% of the patients’ cough symptoms disappeared. After six days, that figure increased to 80.6% of patients. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
TCM doctors also observed taking Qing Fei Pai Du Tang lessened the severity of other symptoms such as fatigue, poor appetite, and sore throat. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Of the 701 patients, detailed, completed case information of 351 patients has become available. And out of the 351 patients, none of the patients categorized as “light and ordinary” (i.e., mild) were downgraded to severe or critically ill; 3 of the 22 severe patients were cured and discharged; 8 were improved to general condition, and a total of 46 patients were cured and discharged.</div>

How Is Qing Fei Pai Du Tang Made?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Unfortunately, the remedy is not available in tablet format. Rather, the herbs are cooked as an herbal decoction. It is administered once in the morning and once in the evening, 40 minutes after food. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
The unique ratio of each herb can be altered by a TCM expert, depending on an individual’s condition. For example, with high fever, the dosage of Shi Gao (Gypsum) is increased. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
TCM experts recommend drinking a bowl of rice porridge (congee) after consuming the decoction. If a patient presents with thirst and dryness of the throat, two bowls of congee should be served. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Each treatment period lasts three days. If symptoms disappear, TCM experts advise to stop using the remedy, as it is not intended for maintenance. </div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Song Myung", serif; font-size: 25px !important; font-weight: 400 !important; letter-spacing: -0.25px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 45px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
According to research published in <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines</em>, the cure rate of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) was a paltry 2% in the early days of the virus. More recently, in certain provincial areas, the cure rate for NCP, which, is, of course, one of the most critical symptoms, has reached 40%. </div>

There are some limitations with the Blogger Search Engine contained in the Right Margin. While that search engine automatically track links back from my blog it does not give us the capability to point our readers to the many thousands of useful biohacking, complimentary, and alternative resources web sites we are familiar with.<br />
<br />
For this reason I constructed a separate “Paleo Search Engine” which is more powerful and encompassing for purposes of researching alternative and integrative cancer treatments and cures.<br />
<br />
Additionally it contains hundreds of additional resources on exercise, diet, environment, rest, etc. virtually the entire spectrum of epigenetic issues that one must address to successfully cure or manage cancer.<br />
<br />
Feel free to post comments on this page of sites you would like included and suggestions for making this resource even more powerful and useful.<br />
<br />
Think of it like the normal google search (you can use boolean operators such as <i>OR</i> in your search [example: fukushima iodine OR thyroid] and -nih.gov to remove results from that website) but the results only come from only websites such as these:<br />
<br />
curezone.com<br />
askdrmao.com<br />
acupressure.com<br />
www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/<br />
nccih.nih.gov<br />

Each company that uses an ATS system has a different login/signup, so you can't even reuse the profile that you just painstakingly created. with other companies and positions that also use the same system. Some examples are ICIMS, Ultipro, Oracle Taleo, etc....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It doesn't make sense to fill out the same set of skills, applications, tools used, job history, and years of experience (known in the recruiting industry as a skills matrix, see mine here :-) ( https://lnkd.in/dV23Xiu ) for each and every different job that you apply for. LinkedIn is closer to perfection, but it's a dumpster fire, because the job postings are spammed so intensely that your application does not even get viewed. There must be a better way with machine learning and text analytics, that also guards the privacy of jobseekers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Monster.com and ziprecruiter are a little better on the jobseekers side of things, since they have a Pandora music-like Bayesian matching and filtering system. Some jobs you may not want to apply for, but still give them thumbs up, meaning "show more jobs like this" and a thumbs down, meaning show me fewer like this. Over time, you could just apply for ten well-matched jobs, to get one great job, rather than apply for a hundred, and get about four telephone screenings/pre-interviews and no job. All companies are tracking, using, and selling 100% of our data, yet with all this data, why has this not benefitted the users? Such a system or app could include some assessment questions like the ones used by Indeed.com, and allow you to reply with text or with a video response. Then the video/teleconfercing interview could be more on-point. On the corporate side, you could ask an employer a question about their corporate culture, even if there's no job available. Similar to what Indeed is doing with Beseen: https://www.beseen.com/</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few years ago, I used an application that downloaded Craigslist job posts and sent cover letters on your behalf through SMTP. It was called "fast job applier" (https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/new-program-fast-job-applier.2130991/), it is written in Python, and it's source code is floating around the internet. There's another "job app bot" here, this experiment did not go well: https://www.fastcompany.com/3069166/i-built-a-bot-to-apply-to-thousands-of-jobs-at-once-heres-what-i-learned. A better machine-learning based system could pull from a list of pre-filled, truthful, bullet points in a "master resume" and create a shortened C.V. with those bullet points at the top of the resume. This would save a recruiter's time as well, as many are known to gloss over an unremarkable, one-out-of-a-hundred Resume unless a qualified matching skill is listed in the first-listed job and listed as the highest bullet point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fun fact: Indeed started out by crawling job listings without permission, both from Craigslist and jobs that were posted directly on different "Jobs" or "Careers" sections on Corporate websites, without their permission.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have collected a list of TCM and herbal remedies for Corona virus from the biohacker forums, from orthomolecular, curezone, earthclinic, etc... and I am posting it here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To the detractors, well, doctors have nothing! NOTHING! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking even just a few of these would help to prevent NCoV-2019 and lessen symptoms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A symptom of the 2019 corona virus is shortness of breath. Since drinking food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide can improve shortness of breath in </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">asthma sufferers and instantly provide oxygen</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, it may be helpful. Whether or not it's helpful in curing it, is not known, but doctors don't have anything better! So why not improve the symptoms, which are really just a heightened immune response (this heightened immune system response, especially the cytokine storm via the interleukin 6 gene, is the real killer with the 2019 corona virus, rather than the virus itself). <a href="https://archive.earthclinic.com/remedies/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide-cures.html">The protocol is here</a>, but it is essentially this: 1-3 hours before the first meal, up to 3 times a day, get a glass of distilled water, and put 12 drops of food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide in the water and drink it. Increase it to 25 drops. Also see this person's experience: </span><a href="https://archive.earthclinic.com/remedies/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide-cures.html#fgpc_180757">Posted by Shauna (Usa) on 07/25/2018</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">). You can also check here for an updated, corona specific protocol from Earthclinic.com: </span><a href="https://earthclinic.com/ailments/coronavirus/">https://earthclinic.com/ailments/coronavirus/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are based on a few different sources and well-known alternative and biohacking forums, especially <a href="https://blog.daveasprey.com/stop-coronavirus-inflammation/">this episode of the bulletproof podcast</a> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(Further references from the podcast: </span><a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00134-020-05991-x" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Clinical predictors of mortality due to COVID-19 based on an analysis of data of 150 patients from Wuhan, China</i></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i> </i>and </span><a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.10.20021832v1.full.pdf" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">the value of IL-6 changed most in the mild and severe groups</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">). Personally I am doing 12 grams of vitamin c, 8000 ui vitamin d, 600 mg magnesium, Rhodolia, and 20 grams of zinc.</span><br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="bulletproof"></a>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">vitamin c - 24000mg via IV are being used in china. If you can't get this (the FDA doesn't like drs that give out vitamins!), combine the pure powder with 1/16 tsp baking soda (it will alkalize the ascorbic acid) and crushed tomatoes (increases aborption). orthomolecular.org recommends 120,000 mg. Some people on earthclinic.com are saying that you can increase your dose of vitamin C up to 2000mg every six minutes! The maximum amount is basically 95% of the amount that gives you diarrhea. Most articles on orthomolecular.org and doctoryourself.com agree, find out how much vitamin c gives you diarrhea, and back off from that amount.</span><br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why You Need to Take Vitamin C, Iodine and Sea Salt every day.</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The simple answer is because you need to take them to provide the right ammunition for your immune system. The first line of defense for your immune system is using neutrophils and eosinophils etc in the external mucus to kill any viruses incoming in your nose, throat, lung and intestines. It’s also well known from the research that immune phagocytes kill pathogens — including viruses — by spraying certain poisonous substances over them to kill them. Then they are ingested by the phagocyte and removed by the liver. So, what substances does the immune system use to kill pathogens in the body? The immune system phagocytes mainly sprays out hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid and hypoiodous acid over the virus to kill it. How can we ensure that the ammunition for our phagocytes are at their correct high levels? In short, Vitamin C is very important and necessary for the production of hydrogen peroxide used by the phagocytes.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Sea salt — or sodium chloride — is also important source of chloride for the production of hypochlorous acid. And lugol’s iodine — via the thyroid — is important for the adequate production of hypoiodous acid. In another research study I have also read that hypoiodous acid was 7 times stronger in its anti-microbial effect and protection than hypochlorous acid when used against pathogens. So if you’re not taking adequate amounts of iodine, sea salt and Vitamin C in your diet then, if you get infected, your immune system might be firing blanks at the COVID-19 virus.<br /><br />Right now, the best protection you have against the COVID-19 virus is your own immune system. That’s really why you should always keep your immune system healthy and capable as described.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only add the baking soda to the water once it has been cooled, and do not heat the water once the baking soda has been added. Heating the baking soda causes a chemical reaction in the baking soda which will transform it into something else that is irritating (I know from experience).</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I put 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of this mixture in the nebulizer and nebulized for about 20 minutes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Immediately after that, I put 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of the 10ppm colloidal copper in the nebulizer and nebulized that another 20 minutes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Within 20-30 minutes of this treatment I started to be able to breathe again, felt like I was getting enough oxygen again and I went to sleep. I have been doing this treatment twice a day (morning and night) since, and my lungs and energy are gradually improving, and I have not had any more shortness of breath episodes. It was genuinely frightening. I am 36 years old so I am also not in a particularly at-risk age group.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I would advise everyone to get a nebulizer and colloidal copper (10ppm colloidal silver might work too – though this recent study showed significant growth inhibition for bacteria but not viruses in colloidal silver https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/acm.2011.0681) , and make a salt/baking soda solution to keep in the cabinet in advance of catching this thing, because when it hits, it hits hard and all of the sudden, and you feel like there is no time.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone is very sick, nebulizing more often would be appropriate/necessary. 20 minutes of nebulizing every hour (ten minutes each solution), or 10 minutes of nebulizing every 15-20 minutes (5 minutes each) are possibilities, but can be varied as needed. When my daughter had a very bad croup last year the only thing that helped to keep that terrible cough down was nebulizing saline /baking soda solution every hour for 20 minutes.</span></span></div>

The sinus thing cleared. The virus did not move to my throat and lungs, it did with my son. So I’m guessing the neti pot helped with that. My son really had the coughing/lung stuff and still does.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">My neck hurts in the front, (not my throat but my neck) but I don’t have the throat/lung symptoms and I continue to use the neti pot once per day, sometimes twice.</span></span> </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: 400;">The past week, we both started taking cranberry pills and lysine every few hours, this seems to help the symptoms. Not a cure, but it did help.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I used Tylenol for the fevers. Activated charcoal for the stomach upset, which did help the nausea, but we still got diarrhea. And lots of SCD yogurt, which is home made and fermented for 24 hours – having the highest probiotic punch you can get. Way better than taking the pills.</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">The famous Dr. D. C. Jarvis recommended a tonic twice a week of the following:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar in a glass of water with 1 drop of Lugol’s (5%) Solution, taken twice a week. . . . ” [I looked up Lugol”s Iodine & A.C.V. together to find the explanation for the combination, & discovered that the A.C.V. neutralizes the taste of Lugol’s Iodine. My DH has taken the tonic more than once & doesn’t taste any Iodine, so it seems to work. . . . I also add raw organic honey & Cayenne Pepper when symptoms of a virus are present.]</span></div>

All these remedies will be based on the structure and behaviour of the COVID-19 virus. And many of the anti-viral remedies I show will further be based on Ted from Bangkok’s various remedies and advice that I have read over the years concerning SARS, Ebola, HIN1, HIV, etc. This is just a random, off-the-top-of-my-head list.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">COVID-19 is a virus that has an outer lipid envelope. The following remedies will act independently of the immune system to dissolve and decloak the virus lipid envelope thereby exposing the virus and allowing the immune system to easily destroy it:</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">coconut oil</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">aspirin</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">COVID-19 and SARS are both from the coronavirus family, so Ted’s past remedies on EC for eradicating the SARS virus will most likely also effectively kill COVID-19. Here are some of his remedies for SARS:</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Hydrogen Peroxide — One capful of 3% HP added to a liter of water. Drink this throughout the day. Directly kills viruses on contact and viruses cannot adjust to it. You can also nebulize HP to kill the virus directly in your lungs.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Peracetic Acid — An even stronger anti-viral remedy than HP. Made by combining ordinary distilled vinegar(not ACV) with HP + water. You can take 1/4 tblspn of this mix with a glass of water internally or rub it over your chest, back and neck for direct absorption into your body to kill the virus.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">You can find this remedy here:</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">https://ted.earthclinic.com/cures/ebola.html</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Nano Silver Solution – According to Ted the nano silver particles should be 10nm or less in size to penetrate everywhere in the body. To prevent the nano silver clumping (turning solution yellow) you should also add 4 – 6 drops of Hydrogen Peroxide. After a while the yellow nano solution will turn clear — indicating that all particles are 10nm or less in size. You can also combine your dosage of nano silver solution with peracetic acid if you wish.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Acetic Acid (distilled vinegar). Also directly kills viruses on contact. You can also use acetic acid in humdifiers in your home to disinfect and destroy any viruses in your home space. You can also rub vinegar on your chest, neck and back to be absorbed by the body which will also help to kill virus in your body.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lysine — Ted’s standard all round viral killer. Taken at 1000 mgs every hour for 6 consecutive hours starting in late afternoon or early evening. Can also be taken with aspirin(4 doses per day only – dissolved in water).</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Using resveratrol with quercitin — Preps and boosts the immune system against viral attack. Use the Japanese Knotweed form of resveratrol at a dose containing 150mg to 300 mg trans resveratrol per day. Quercitin is easy — just drink fresh lemon juice or lime juice(no sugar) — it contains quercitin. Better still, just take Ted’s alkalizing remedies using lime or lemons.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Humic acid — Traps the virus in a molecular cage and safely gets rid of the virus that way. Don’t use Fulvic acid — it’s not anti-viral. You should only use Humic acid(70% Humic acid, 30% fulvic acid). Raw Leonardite is what I’m taking about. You can supplement humic acid as a solution or you can use it as a fine mist to be inhaled to kill the virus directly in you lungs. Useful if your COVID-19 flu turns into the more dangerous pneumonia form.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Gum Turpentine — As I’ve said many times on EC , turpentine is a remarkable blood purifier. What does that mean? It means that gum turpentine has wide and effective disinfectant action throughout you body against all viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Dose is one teaspoon a day.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Chanca piedra — In China they have been successfully using HIV anti-retro-viral drugs to defeat the virus because the COVID-19 virus appears to have four insertions that strongly resemble HIV genes. It’s also interesting that Vietnam — a third world country — has had 16 cases of COVID-19 infections which have all been cured using lopinavir and ritonavir which are anti-retroviral drugs. These 4 HIV-like insertions are all involved in the reproductive processes of COVID-19 virus. So why use Chanca piedra? The main reason is because Chanca piedra is currently being researched because it inhibits the reverse-transcriptase enzyme in both HIV and Hepatitis B — preventing the virus from replicating. So there’s also a good possibility that — because of COVID-19’s known HIV insertions — Chanca piedra will also act to similarly inhibit reproduction of COVID-19 in the human body.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><br />

I recently posted an <a href="https://justin-goldberg.blogspot.com/2020/03/corona-virus-preventiontreatment-with.html">updated version of this post</a>.<br />
<br />
In the recent <a href="https://blog.daveasprey.com/samuel-veissiere-674/">bulletproof podcast </a>(in the final ten minutes), Dave Asprey mentioned using a charcoal mask whole traveling, using a Xylitol nasal spray (and add a drop of iodine and colloidal silver to it).</div>

Update: It seems that the treatment below is working. Based on browsing through the statistics on the <a href="https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6">John Hopkins Corona virus tracker</a>, that China has the highest percent of patients that have recovered. </div>

I have been researching traditional Chinese medicine in treating the Novel Corona virus. According to various Chinese media sources, the treatment below (qi gong, Qing-Fei-Tang,Ypfs, and Huoxiang-zhengqi) has been 90% effective at shortening the duration of the virus, and treating the virus completely and with lessened symptoms if treated early enough:<br />

From a verified official statement from Xi'an Jiaotong University Second Hospital (In Chinese: http://2yuan.xjtu.edu.cn)<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"High dose vitamin C treatment of new coronavirus [COVID-19] pneumonia.<br />
"On the afternoon of February 20, 2020, another 4 patients with severe new coronaviral pneumonia recovered from the C10 West Ward of Tongji Hospital In the past 8 patients have been discharged from hospital. . . [H]igh-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications. We believe that for patients with severe neonatal pneumonia and critically ill patients, vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after admission. . .[E]arly application of large doses of vitamin C can have a strong antioxidant effect, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve endothelial function. . . Numerous studies have shown that the dose of vitamin C has a lot to do with the effect of treatment. . . [H]gh-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more importantly, can prevent and treat acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress (ARDS)."<br />
<a href="http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n12.shtml" target="_blank">China is conducting three clinical trials of up to 24,000 mg/day of intravenous vitamin C to treat patients with COVID-19 coronavirus</a><a href="http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n12.shtml" target="_blank"> and its severe respiratory complications.</a><a href="http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n04.shtml" target="_blank">A coronavirus pandemic can be stopped with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C.</a>There has been a lack of media coverage of this effective and successful approach against viruses in general, and coronavirus in particular. Preventing and treating severe respiratory infections with large amounts of vitamin C is well established.</blockquote>

Introduction
The British government sponsored
Foods Standards Agency warns that vitamin and mineral supplement users should
confine vitamin C intake to no more than
1,000 mg daily in order to assure a “safe
upper level” and to avoid symptoms such
as intestinal gas and diarrhea. The implication of this “upper limit for safety” warning is that we could damage or poison
ourselves with anything above the stated
“safe” dose. Nothing could be further from
the truth!
Their recommendations are arrived at
by eliminating any dosage at which anyone ever reported, including anecdotally,
any problematic symptoms while they were
taking a vitamin or mineral. This is like
saying, if a person dies of a heart attack
while wearing shoes, the heart attack was
caused by the shoes!
I’m tired of being warned about the socalled dangers of vitamins, while pharmaceutical manufacturers and advertisers continue
to encourage us to take medications to treat
everything from bad moods, to acid indigestion, to sexual difficulties, despite long lists
of serious possible side effects from these
same drugs. Have you ever wondered why
there is no government-sponsored agency
issuing warnings regarding our heavy cultural
reliance on pharmaceuticals with their serious and well documented side effects? Why
aren’t government sponsored groups studying the reasons our population suffers from
so many conditions requiring pharmaceuticals? What credibility is there in the “Say No
to Drugs” campaign when everyone knows
it’s really “say yes to drugs as long as they’re
produced by pharmaceutical companies?”
We are asked to be fearful of how we
might harm ourselves with vitamin C,
when the reality is that vitamin C is extremely safe, as attested to by extensive
research1-4 much of which was documented
by Hoffman LaRoche researchers Adrienne
Bendich and Lawrence Machlin and by
voluminous documented LD-50 safety data
testing. Furthermore, the safety is attested
to by the experience of a large group of
Orthomolecular health practitioners utilizing massive doses with each of their thousands` of patients. Safety Information Data
Sheets conclude that vitamin C is very safe
even in enormous doses in animal experiments and that it is not mutagenic, or teratogenic. (Toxic Substance Division Department of the Environment, Roche Products Ltd)
The truth is vitamin C has the potential to vastly improve all kinds of chronic
health problems and could actually save
your life or the life of someone you love.
Access to this miraculous substance must
not be limited by false and misleading information. Special interests subtly manipulate people to create irrational fears about
nutritional supplements. These same special interests have been lulling the public
into becoming irrationally comfortable taking drug after drug to suppress the symptoms of all sorts of health problems.
I’d like humbly to add my voice in support of the many vitamin C pioneers who
collectively have already proven both its
safety and its efficacy in a wide range of
conditions and circumstances. During my
16 years of private practice as an orthomolecular nurse-nutritionist, 3,000 mg of vitamin C daily was the starting recommendation for my thousands of patients and for
my 3-year-old son. In all those thousands
of people, I’m unaware of any noteworthy
negative reactions.
I think the medical under-use and promotion of fear of vitamin C ranks along
with the under-use and fear tactics previously directed at folic acid. For years we
were warned not to use high doses of folic
187
188
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Vol. 18, Nos. 3 & 4, 2003
acid despite growing evidence that neural
tube defects might result from insufficient
folate intake. How sad for the thousands of
children born with spina bifida which resulted
from fear of recommending a few pennies per
day of non-toxic folic acid. How hollow is the
phrase, “above all, do no harm” when the
harm is seen in those occupying thousands
of wheel chairs around the country. Are we
destined to keep repeating mistakes?
I’d like to share my professional and
personal experience with vitamin C, including the use of large doses both orally and
intravenously, as well as looking at some
history regarding the clinical use of high
dose vitamin C.
Personal Experience
In January, 2003, I developed a sinus
and upper respiratory infection that
wouldn’t clear up despite four rounds of
different antibiotics to which I was developing reactions such as progressively worsening headaches. I’d been prone to such
infections, having had bronchitis one to
three times per year for many years. However, I was becoming increasingly resistant
to antibiotics and was fearful that I was
running out of effective treatment for these
recurring infections.
Around the same time, I learned of a
young girl who had apparently developed
viral encephalitis that turned her into a
vegetative cripple after her acute febrile
symptoms resolved. My illness and that little girl’s deterioration reminded me of the
work of one of the now deceased vitamin
C pioneer, Dr. Fred Klenner, a Duke University graduate and practicing physician from
Reidsville, North Carolina. Klenner was the
first physician to use massive doses of vitamin C to cure many serious and life threatening conditions including viral encephalitis, polio, meningitis, and poisonings.5-8
After rereading Klenner’s and
McCormick’s9
published work, followed by
some of Robert Cathcart’s papers,10-12 particularly his papers on titrating vitamin C
to bowel tolerance,10,11 I was reinforced to
utilize “bowel tolerance” doses of vitamin
C in the hopes of clearing my current respiratory problems.
Years earlier after my first exposure to
the writings of Klenner, Stone, McCormick,
Cathcart, Pauling, et al., I recovered from
influenza, from which I was very sick,
within about a day and half during which
time I consumed (by mouth) 120,000 mg
or 120 g of Vitamin C per 24-hour period.
I had no problem from that dose except that when my flu symptoms disappeared faster than my tapering of the vitamin C dosage, I experienced gas and
diarrhea, a small price to pay for getting
rid of the flu. The gas and diarrhea is transitory and is the basis for the papers by
Cathcart: “The Method of Determining
Proper Doses of Vitamin C for the Treatment
of Diseased by Titrating to Bowel Tolerance”10 and “Vitamin C, Titrating to Bowel
Tolerance, Anascorbemia, and Acute Induced
Scurvy.”11 The gas and diarrhea produced by
oral vitamin C are not toxicity symptoms, and
do not occur when vitamin C is given
parenterally. Intravenous doses as high as
700 mg/kg/24 hours have been administered
with no problems and great benefit.7,8
Cathcart writes the he has “safely prescribed doses of ascorbic acid up to 200 or
more grams per 24 hours to over 20,000
patients during a 23 year period” in his
practice.12
Evidence of Safety and Efficacy
Klenner stated, “Ascorbic acid is the
safest and the most valuable substance
available to the physician. Many headaches and many heartaches will be
avoided with its proper use.”5
I’d like to
echo Klenner and add that it is also one
of the least expensive substances.
Commenting on the safety of vitamin
C and particularly the sodium ascorbate form
that he used intravenously Klenner: “I’ve used
over 200,000 ampules, 50,000 vials and
millions of 500 mg tablets of vitamin C and
189
The Gift of Vitamin C
the only complication I’ve ever seen is
diarrhea and gas.”
“I remember a patient with a malignancy taking 10,000 grams of sodium ascorbate over six months [or 57,000 mg daily]
and his blood sodium was low at one point.”
These are direct quotes taken from my
audiocassette tape of Klenner at a talk that
he gave at the 20th Annual Symposium of
the International College of Applied Nutrition (ICAAN) in Los Angeles.
So what exactly did Klenner do with
all those ampules, vials, and pills?
Using megadose vitamin C he treated
viral encephalitis (remember the young girl)
comparing his results with other published
work: “Their results [without vitamin C]:
Some recovered, some died and still others
lived as ‘vegetative mental cripples. All of
our patients recovered.”
“In the poliomyelitis epidemic in North
Carolina in 1948, sixty (60) cases of this
disease came under our care.” The treatment employed was vitamin C in massive
doses. It was given like any other antibiotic every two to four hours. The initial
dose was 1,000 to 2,000 mg, depending on
age. Children up to four years received the
injections intramuscularly.” “All patients
were clinically well after 72 hours.”
“One single injection of ascorbic acid
calculated at 500 mg/kg of body weight will
reverse heat stroke.”
“Observations made on over 300 consecutive obstetrical cases using supplemental ascorbic acid, by mouth, convinced me
that failure to use this agent in sufficient
amounts in pregnancy borders on malpractice. The lowest amount of Ascorbic acid
used was 4 grams and the highest amount
15 grams each day”.
Klenner continues: “Labor was shorter
and less painful. There were no postpartum
hemorrhages. No patient required catheterization. No toxic manifestations were
demonstrated in this series. There was no
cardiac stress even though 22 patients of
the series had rheumatic hearts. Leg
cramps were less than three percent”.
“Infants born under massive ascorbic
acid therapy were all robust. Not a single
case required resuscitation. We experienced no feeding problems.”
Klenner also remarked that he recommends 1,000 mg of vitamin C for every year
of age up to 10,000 mg. He added, “10 grams
is the lowest amount adults should take for
normal use.”
In 1949 Klenner wrote that the single
most important determinant of positive results from vitamin C is the size of the dose
and the frequency of its administration.
Cathcart has clearly echoed this statement in his extensive work with massive
dose vitamin C. Klenner says that out of
thousands of virus colds treated, vitamin
C always works if you go high enough.
Pauling on colds: “My recommendation is not 1 gram a day, or 2 grams a day
of vitamin C but at the first sign of a cold,
take a gram of vitamin C or 2 grams and
then an hour later, if the symptoms still exist – if you’re still sneezing, or your nose is
running or feel shiver, take another 1 or 2
grams of vitamin C. Keep doing that until
you forget because the symptoms have gone
away and this will stop a cold in almost every
person who follows the regimen.”13
Pauling’s comment on vitamin toxicity: “…conventional medical practice relies
heavily on drugs, all of which essentially are
toxic substances. It’s hard for me to think
of an example of a drug that is like the vitamins in having nearly zero toxicity” (aspirin’s LD-50 is quite low and contrast this
with vitamin C in which the LD-50 is virtually unattainable since it is so high)
“What they did not do was to ask this
question: here is a substance which has no
known toxicity… Is there a possibility that
very large doses of vitamin C and the B vitamins and vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin E, would have much additional value
in improving the health of the people?”
“I looked in the medical and nutritional literature to find out how much vi-
190
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Vol. 18, Nos. 3 & 4, 2003
tamin C a person should take in order to
be in the best health, perhaps to control
diseases other than scurvy. I couldn’t find
anything”. For 25 years Pauling looked for
the answer to “how much of these very
powerful and important substances should
we take to be in the best of health?”
I believe Cathcart has supplied the
answer to the optimal oral dose of vitamin
C : the bowel tolerance level. He noted that
“the sicker a patient was, the more ascorbic acid he would tolerate by mouth before
diarrhea was produced. At least 80% of
adult patients will tolerate 10-15 g of ascorbic acid fine crystals in one half cup of
water in four divided doses per 24 hours
without having diarrhea.”10
For my respiratory infection in January, 2003 I began my self-treatment by
gradually increasing my dosage of Vitamin
C from my usual 1,000-3,000 mg per day up
to 3,000–4,000 mg per dose, initially taking
it about four times daily (around 16,000 mg
per day). This failed to produce diarrhea so
I began to increase both the dosage and the
frequency, finally getting up to between
60,000 and 120,000 mg per day or approximately 7,500 to 15,000 mg eight times daily
(every three hours around the clock). These
numbers are not typographical errors. I am
talking about 60 to 120 g taken by mouth
daily. I noticed that as soon as I reached the
diarrhea point, my respiratory symptoms
seemed to be gone and so too were my
fibromyalgia symptoms that I’d had for a
couple of years and for which I had often
taken various anti-inflammatory drugs. I
also noticed that my gradually increasing
need for sleep was drastically reduced, while
my energy level increased.
Some individuals, unfamiliar with such
dosages, will be frightened by these numbers
fearing death or bodily harm. Others may
become overwhelmed imagining the insanity of swallowing of 120 pills of 1,000 mg
per day. The mechanical problems are easily
overcome by the use of vitamin C in
powdered form. Pure ascorbic acid powder
provides 5,000 mg per teaspoon while a
non-acidic form of vitamin C, sodium
ascorbate, provides 4,448 mg of vitamin C
per teaspoon. Other forms of C powder are
rendered non-acidic by buffering with calcium, magnesium, zinc, and potassium.
Typically, the latter provide about 2,600 mg
of vitamin C, 350 mg of calcium, 350 mg of
magnesium, 100 mg of potassium, and 6 mg
of zinc per teaspoon. Fifteen hundred
(1,500) mg tablets are available and convenient for certain times.
For individuals who wish to utilize
high dose vitamin C therapy, I recommend
having all of the above on hand, as this
makes the achievement of sufficiently high
intake both easy and palatable. For example, sodium ascorbate is very palatable in
low sodium V-8 juice, tomato juice and in
milk or soy drinks or shakes. The ascorbic acid form works very well in all kinds
of fruit juice (apple, orange, grapefruit,
grape, pineapple), as well as tomato or V8. When you’re trying to use very high
doses your palate may get very tired of
the same flavors. Some individuals may
find they have difficulty with one form
or another as a result of the acidity of
ascorbic acid or the “saltiness” of the
sodium ascorbate. (Note that Klenner
states that the sodium ion does not act
the same as in sodium chloride, in that
it does not raise the blood pressure, nor
does it raise blood sodium levels).
I don’t recommend taking more than
2 or 3 teaspoons of calcium/magnesium
buffered vitamin C per day as more will
bring in too much of these minerals, but
taking some in this form is of benefit. For
the same reason, Klenner advised not to use
calcium ascorbate in infusions as the patient would be getting too many calcium
ions, although he added one gram of calcium gluconate to 50 gram ascorbate infusions in 500 cc of normal saline or dextrose
in water decanted to accommodate the
vitamin C. Klenner stated this mixture
could then be infused in one hour at 120
191
The Gift of Vitamin C
drops per minute. The vitamin C chelates
calcium ions that could result in tetany if
rapidly infused without calcium.
Another convenient idea for the oral
dosing is to put enough of the vitamin C
for multiple doses in a container of water,
milk or juice, so you can drink one dose
each hour or two. Every 5 to 6 oz of liquid
can take two teaspoons of vitamin C
(10,000 mg); 20-24 oz could contain 40,000
mg (8 teaspoons of ascorbic acid powder).
This way you can drink a little hourly. The
sicker you are, or the more serious your
health problem, the more frequently you
should take your doses.
Be sure to write down how much vitamin C was put in whatever volume of water,
juice, or milk in order to keep track of the
dosage and the response so you can adjust
it according to the reduction of symptoms
and for the minimizing of diarrhea. If your
symptoms haven’t reduced in intensity and
you haven’t been getting diarrhea, you’re
not taking the optimal amount for your
body at that moment. Be sure to consume
plenty of liquid by also drinking water in
addition to vitamin C drink.
When you consume your optimal dose,
you will notice a marked improvement in
your symptoms. After awhile, I realized that
if I took a dose of vitamin C and didn’t
notice a sharp reduction of symptoms, it
meant I’d under-dosed. I’ve subsequently
discovered vitamin C can be used to reduce
or eliminate many different kinds of symptoms when you get the dose up high enough
and keep it just below the diarrhea point.
In addition to my current respiratory
illness I had been suffering for the previous two years with what was ultimately
diagnosed as fibromyalgia. I had experimented with every and any nutrient that I
thought might impact upon this with little
result. Much to my chagrin, I wound up taking Vioxx on a somewhat regular basis.
When using the massive doses of vitamin C
for the respiratory problem, I note that
there had been a marked reduction of my
fibromyalgia symptoms, virtually eliminating the need for Vioxx. The vitamin C did
not cure the fibromyalgia. In order to sustain the benefit, I must remain on very high
dose vitamin C. Since I’ve also noticed a
great improvement in my energy, and a
sharp reduction in my previously increasing need for sleep, I’m happy to continue
with very high dose vitamin C for this mysterious syndrome.
As a result of feeling so improved from
an opti-dose, I sometimes forget to keep up
the frequency and then the symptoms return as my reminder. I’ve also found that
there was a somewhat narrow window in
which vitamin C could be used in this way
to treat infections. If the dose was too low:
no results, if the dose was too high:
diarrhea. Like in the story of the Three
Bears, it had to be “just right.”
To fully recover, I had to remain on a
minimum of 60,000 mg daily for about two
months before I was able to gradually taper down the doses without getting a reoccurrence of bronchitis and sinusitis
symptoms.
The key to success for me in treating
my infection seemed to be keeping the dose
of the vitamin high enough while my body
gradually healed itself. Stopping the vitamin suddenly at the first sign of improvement simply didn’t work. I found it is necessary to remain at the same dose that
improved or eliminated symptoms until
that new lower dose causes diarrhea. I
could then drop the dose successfully and
remain at the new level at which symptoms
were controlled without diarrhea.
Cathcart refers to this as “the burn” or
the rate at which the body is using vitamin
C. Generally, the greater “the burn,” the
sicker the person, although some individuals may exhibit what appears to be vitamin
C intolerance at comparatively low intakes
as a result of gastro-intestinal or metabolic
problems and may try to gradually raise
their bowel tolerance by using vitamin C
at low but gradually increasing doses. This
192
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Vol. 18, Nos. 3 & 4, 2003
method may eliminate their vitamin C intolerance as the vitamin gradually aids in
the correction of their metabolic lesions.
Some individuals may be more tolerant of
one form of the vitamin than another, such
as the non-acidic sodium ascorbate.
A few comments and precautions
when first experimenting with high dose
vitamin C:
1. Use pure pharmaceutical grade vitamin C without additives. There are many
good products.
2. Start high dose vitamin C gradually
to give your system time to adjust and see
how you will react. In an unhealthy gut, very
high doses of oral vitamin C taken suddenly
may produce a large amount of gas and can
occasionally result in severe gas pains. Lowering the dose and gradually raising it again
should solve the problem. Be sure to consume plenty of fluids prior to, and during,
the use of vitamin C to avoid dehydration.
3. I suggest that when the vitamin is used
intravenously it’s best not to add other nutrients with their preservatives to the IV until
you’ve tried very high dose vitamin C by itself.
Mild adverse symptoms like lightheadedness
or nausea are sometimes reported when vitamin C is combined with mixtures of other
nutrients that contain preservatives. According to Klenner and Cathcart, this does not
occur with straight 100% sodium ascorbate
preservative-free infusions.
4. Both oral and IV vitamin C offer extremely exciting potential in the treatment
of cancer patients. Hugh Riordan’s website
offers a must read summary of his experience using IV ascorbic acid with cancer
patients. He concludes that: “Tumor cells
are more susceptible to the effects of highdose, ascorbate-induced peroxidation
products because of a relative catalase deficiency”, and that “concentrations of
ascorbate high enough to kill tumor cells
likely can be achieved in humans.”14
5. While Riordan acknowledges that
side effects are rare, he notes that there are
some precautions to be applied in treating
such patients. Contraindications include
kidney failure, dialysis patients, and some
forms of iron overload. There is a very rare
genetic abnormality common to certain
ethnic groups, red cell glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency that can
result in hemolysis of red blood cells following high dose intravenous vitamin C.
Riordan recommends testing for this abnormality prior to starting infusions with
vitamin C. To my knowledge, none of the
other massive dose IV vitamin C pioneers
had ever reported this problem.
6. For further information on cancer and
vitamin C, I refer the reader to Riordan’s
papers detailed on his website at
www.brightspot.org and Dr. Abram Hoffer’s
work at: www.islandnet.com/~hoffer/ or
www.doctoryourself.com. Riordan is probably
the world expert in treatment of cancer patients with very high dose vitamin C.13
Conclusion
Will vitamin C in very high doses kill
you? No. MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheets) and thousands upon thousands of
patients attest to this (I’m still here, writing this article).
Will it cause permanent diarrhea or toxic
damage to the bowel? No. All bowel symptoms produced by vitamin C will disappear
by lowering the dose or discontinuing it.
Will it cause kidney stones? No. It will
raise oxalic acid levels in certain susceptible
people but it does not precipitate into stone
formation. Rats given 20,000 mg of vitamin C
per kg, exhibited increased oxalate production but it had no effect on calcification. The
rats were healthy and vigorous. Riordan also
notes that two groups of researchers have
demonstrated that giving vitamin B6 and
magnesium in sufficient quantity to oxalic
acid stone formers will reduce oxalic acid excretion and generally prevent the formation
of such stones in that subset of people.14
Will it cause blindness, deafness, and
rotting of teeth? No, but government agencies spurred by special interests seem to be
193
The Gift of Vitamin C
trying to figure out how to make it so! Slander does not need high intelligence.
I have found the writings of these courageous vitamin C pioneers extremely exciting and very comforting. Hopefully,
these words will encourage you to experiment with high-dose vitamin C for yourself, your family and your patients, and
will fortify you to stand up to any further
or future attacks upon this miraculous
substance, vitamin C.

The Truth</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Me notifying Marcus via text weeks prior to him accusing us of not telling him about the foreclosure process, which he said started in 2012?? No it started months into filming. AUGUST 26TH</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A picture of the lien he said he did not tell him about either, but this is a 'Lien release' which means he already paid and took care of it in 2012. There are also no bank liens on the building like he states </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The statement from the insurance, showing they received $903,204.70 but there was a 10% adjuster rate, so they only got $817,900 out of everything. The building cost 1.2 so my parents actually ended up losing out and having to take $ out of their retirement fund. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Me texting Amber Mazzola (the Executive producer) right after the last scene with the fight between my father and Marcus, she didn't even have the decency to pick up my call or really respond.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<--Me speaking to two different producers about not getting any money after Marcus made me negotiate and promise to pay them the next day. JULY 30TH</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hi my name is Larissa, I am Gary and Sue Swanson's daughter. As you know, my family was just featured on, 'The Profit'. Unfortunately after being aired, we were not only humiliated but left with no chance to explain our side of the story. Behind the scenes, there was a lot that went on that no one knows about. For example, certain situations were manipulated, staged etc. I am writing this because I cannot keep quiet anymore and believe we were unfairly represented on the show. I understand it's my word against a huge network but I would not be coming out with all of this if it were not true. Below at the bottom I posted some photos and documents of proof. I ask that before you place judgment, you please read our side. I know this is a little long, but thank you for taking the time to read it. If you have anything to say you can go to our contact page. Thank you again and God bless!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I first want to start by saying, if I thought my parents were actual criminals I would not have written to the show. In my heart today, I still know that is the furthest thing from the truth. I am who I am because of them, and they raised me well. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The filming process started in June and ended in September. We did not film for four weeks like he stated, we filmed for four months and did not see a penny for that entire time. When we sat down to do the deal they told us before hand that if he writes us a check, it was only for show purposes and we would have to hand it right back. He also stated that he put the money in an escrow account but that never happened. As far as making changes, he took out a counter and purchased 15k worth of equipment, which we are still very grateful for!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My mother mentioned how she had a painter at the house and Marcus acted surprised and became "angry". The first day of filming we told Marcus and the production crew that we are slowly fixing up our house to put it on the market. My parents were putting a lot of their bills to the side during that entire time (which is how the foreclosure process started). Marcus kept promising every week that he would give us the payment in exchange for our building. I was asked to negotiate with our vendors and he had me promise to pay these people the next DAY with a certified check, but he never followed through with that either. One of these vendors is now suing us because they are so angry. Three months after we shook hands with him, things grew pretty bad so we finally approached him about dispersing the money. He offered us 100k in the meantime but his lawyer still wanted a title transfer of the building? My parent's lawyer cautioned us many times not to do it because he was scared that they could take it for such a small amount, so we had to decline.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
August 26th I was served papers by a sheriff from Kasowitz (the firm who mortgaged our building). I notified Marcus immediately via text, and we were not aware that an actual foreclosure process already started. The building also had a contractor/mechanical lien put on it almost 4 years ago and my parents paid that in 2010. The lien release was never brought to city hall to be taken care of and we explained that to Marcus. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
To touch upon the insurance accusations, in the beginning my father messed up his numbers and shame on him for that. My parents only received $817k from the insurance settlement and this statement is posted below. The building and expenses cost $1.2M and my parents ended up having to pay 400K out of their pocket. Also, their tenant next door did not have insurance! Therefore they had to pay $200K to cover them, which ended up pushing the whole project back a couple months. My father clarified that with Marcus immediately and also showed documents and receipts. In regards to the fire, we had an ex-employee at the time that was fired for doing drugs in the bathroom and stealing from our register. Shortly after he started stalking my family, driving by our house, going through our garbage and sending my father threats, which he later got in trouble for. When the fire happened he was seen across the street at a gas station watching the building burn down at 4 am and my father pointed him out to the police immediately. The authorities attempted to investigate but never actually found out how and why it happened. I can promise you it was not my father.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
During that Christmas time we were working out of a tent in front of our building that only had it's foundation (still under construction). My father still wanted to serve our customers so the night before he had ten different employees working until 2 am in the warehouse prepping all of the orders for the next day. Around 3:30-4 am a fire erupted. After the fire department showed up they found the source of how it started, and completely ruled out arson. Before everyone left and locked up, someone pushed a table up against a cheap extension cord, and it eventually caught fire burning the entire downstairs. There was 150k worth of product and orders for the next morning in that fire!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
When the boat happened he moved it out of the marina and put it in someone's backyard before hurricane Sandy hit. The motors ended up getting destroyed, so it turned into a salvaged project. My father bought that boat 15 years ago when they were in a better financial situation. It is also not a yacht like everyone is saying; it is a 30-foot boat. Marcus knew about the boat after the 2nd day of filming. Their 'story-line producer' was there for three straight days during the filming and asked my mom to bring my dad outside and confront him about it; the entire thing was staged, but the executive producer Amber told me later on the phone that night not to worry about us looking bad because they were going to "tie a nice bow on it at the end." If we knew they were going to blindside us like that we would not have cooperated.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
With all the family drama they portrayed, they failed to mention the struggles my family experiences on a day-to-day basis. My little brother has a serious mental illness and was diagnosed 3 years ago. It has been a long road and has completely devastated all of us. We are constantly in and out of hospitals and have paid over 100K in medical bills including hospital, ambulances and medications. My brother was on the show but they blurred his face, he was standing next to me when Marcus said, "I'm 100% in charge now". The last thing I want to do it air our personal business, but they failed to present that a portion of my parent's expenses have been put towards medical.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My father also spoke about how much money he lost two years ago when he invested in a small restaurant next door. One of the owners they partnered with took advantage, so he went to court to break the contract and won. He was never able to get his investment back so in the end he really lost. The whole thing only made their financial situation a lot worse.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My mother never even wanted to film, but was told if she did not show up the deal was off. I know they wanted her there because they knew they could get drama out of her. My mother has not been a part of the business since last March, so why did they need to focus on her so much? During the 4-month process she had three deaths in her family, including her father, cousin and aunt. A few of the days she showed up late because she was upset and exhausted. After the death of her father she told Marcus that she wanted to move to Florida and live with her mother for a little, but she ended up staying just to film and make everyone happy. My mother was also medicated on Xanax because of everything, which may also explain why she acted like the way she did. They got her so upset one-day that she ended up having a mental breakdown. I have NEVER in my life seen her so hysterical that it brought me to tears seeing her that way. Halfway through filming she agreed to sell the BMW even though it was leased, it was still a sign of showing sacrifice. We also filmed a scene where we taped for sale signs on her car windows! She wanted to prove to Marcus that she would do anything for the deal but obviously they did not air that. I personally believe that BMW may have sponsored them for this episode but I could be totally wrong about that! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I also wanted to talk about the employees chipping in for product- that I agree was not right AT ALL. The employees chipped in on a few occasions and they got their money back at the end of the day. My father had vendors who would show up in the morning wanting cashiers checks for product and neither him or my mother were there to get to the bank, they should have had a check prepared!! I still think there is no excuse for that, but they have been making serious changes since the show..</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Lastly I want to touch base on a few things people are mentioning about myself, which is the bag I had on me. I have seen dozens of comments and several media sites about it and I can't help but laugh at this point. I do agree that it looked bad but I never purchased it, my boyfriend of two years got me that for Christmas. My mother also leased that car two years ago before things got really bad. She has been a customer of BMW for almost 10 years and because their credit is so poor they were the only ones who would give her a lease. I agree with Marcus still that the car sends out a bad message. My parents have already agreed to downsize to something less expensive. I am sad I have to explain all of this, but we did agree to be on a reality show so I can't complain!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The Profit never wanted to do a deal before they walked in our door. I had a pit in my stomach right when we shook hands with him, and should have listened to my intuition to stop filming. When has Marcus ever done a real estate deal? Why wouldn't he do a title search right away? I do believe that he did not like my parents and could not connect with them. I have noticed how disconnected they have become after everything they have gone through and it breaks my heart. I think Marcus and Amber judged them before getting to know their real story and situation. Kicking a family while they are already down is just plain wrong</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I feel I need to get the word out on how awful this whole experience was for us. I know this is reality TV but I am appalled over Machete productions and how they operate. My father is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and has literally put his heart and soul into Swanson's since he was 12 years old. He also had a good reputation in the town of Fairfield. They were getting threatening emails, calls and people driving by their house. It was SCARY and I believe they took things way too far with us. Do not forget that we are all human beings here and we all make mistakes, which we have learned from. One thing I will say is that we have most definitely learned a lot from Marcus and we are thankful for that! I am besides myself and just sad how they can be content with slandering/destroying a families name and 41-YEAR-OLD business just to get higher ratings. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
UPDATE:January 18th 2017- Although it says we are closed on google, we are not, we are still open and currently debt free! My father has finally been able to pay down his vendors etc. Since I have posted this letter i have had numerous people from other past episodes contact me, and their stories are very similar and some of them were screwed over even worse than us. These people are too scared to speak out because we all had to sign contracts that if we talk about the show afterwards we will be sued for 1 million dollars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This may be a little blurry for some people, but this is something a stranger put together and sent us. It shows the date on the check JULY 2ND. Marcus claimed my father lied about paying his mortgage and tried to say he hid the fact that the building was being foreclosed before he even got there. If you go online it shows we were served in August and the foreclosure process started several months into filming, that is why they blurred the document's date on camera because THEY were the ones who were lying.</div>
<div>
Marcus is telling people that our business is closed because of a glitch on google, when I tweeted them both and told them that we are in fact NOT closed he literally blocked me within 5 mins. May 24th, 2015</div>

Enroll in Messages Beta and install</p>
<p dir="ltr">2.) Download Activity Launcher</p>
<p dir="ltr">3.) Clear the data of 'Carrier Services' and force stop 'Android Messages.' Edit: If you don't have 'Carrier Services' you can download it from the Play Store</p>
<p dir="ltr">4.)Open Activity Launcher</p>
<p dir="ltr">5.) Tap 'Recent Activities,' and in the menu choose 'All Activities.'</p>
<p dir="ltr">6.) Look for 'Messages'</p>
<p dir="ltr">7.) Tap it, then scroll until you find 'Set RCS Flags'</p>
<p dir="ltr">8.) After pressing it select 'ACS Url"' and in the menu select http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox.google.com/</p>
<p dir="ltr">9.) Select OTP Pattern, and in the menu click, YourlsMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d {6}). Edit: This appears to not be staying for some. It didn't stick for me either but my RCS still activated</p>
<p dir="ltr">10.) Click Apply Edit: sometimes clicking apply won't take you anywhere. Just go back and check messages</p>
<p dir="ltr">11.) Follow setup in Messages. Will take around three minutes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Install Google's messages app v 5.2 or later.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It works. Tested on MetroPCS Moto e5 play on os 8.0. The articles out there neglect to mention that you have to install Google carrier services beforehand.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here's the official features list:<br>
[url]https://support.google.com/messages/answer/7189714?visit_id=637080029047362407-3353475344&p=enhanced_features&rd=2[/url]</p>
<p dir="ltr">It will be nice when this has links to other messaging services, Airbnb, Uber, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc....</p>
<p dir="ltr">I wonder what the two other servers that are in the RCS drop-down menu (iot and jibe) are for.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some benefits I can see with "universal profile" RCS over standard text messaging:<br>
You can send attachments of any filetype with a maximum size of 105 megabytes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You have the ability to delete multiple messages at <u>once</u> without deleting the whole conversation. <br>
Being able to share Google Assistant results<br>
It is a universal chat service that eventually every text app will embrace</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here's some enhancements the app could use:<br>
1. Set profile pic for individuals and groups<br>
2. Set profile name for individuals<br>
3. Better graphical sent, delivery and read indicators<br>
4. Ability to see if the other person is online in a 1 to 1 conversation<br>
5. Ability to indicate which message is being replied on<br>
6. Lacks group administration capabilities</p>
<p dir="ltr"><u>A</u> need for public links for groups and separate, invite-only private groups, and admin controls. Basically they need slack. <br>
It <u>lacks</u> threaded replies<br><br></p>
