The COVID Advisor

Heart attacks were once thought of as a disease of age - but worrying new data shows they are increasing  in healthy young adults.  Roughly 0.3 percent of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack in 2019 - but last year that rose to 0.5 percent, or one in 200.  While that may still seem like a relatively low number, it represents a 66 percent increase in cases in just four years, which doctors call 'alarming.' It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40.  A number of factors are thought to be at play including rampant drug use, obesity, sedentary lifestyles and bad diets. But the timing strongly implies the Covid pandemic has played a role.   The virus itself causes widespread inflammation in the body that can damage the heart or lead to blood clots.  Depression , anxiety and stress also surged among young people during lockdowns - and all three have been linked to heart attacks. Dr Deepak Bhatt, the dire

Mask mandates will be returning to several counties in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, starting November 2024. The orders, which were handed down by individual counties, apply mainly to health care workers, although at least two Bay Area counties have extended the requirement to visitors and patients. A similar mandate was handed down broadly across the Bay Area for the 2023–2024 fall-through-spring period. Health officials in counties that have issued upcoming mask mandates said that the face coverings are designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory viruses, harking back to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which mandates were widespread across much of the United States. Where the Mandates Are Going Into Effect Alameda County, which encompasses the city of Oakland, issued an order last month that requires staff at health care facilities to wear masks between Nov. 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. “The fall and winter of 2023-2024 saw substantial waves of R

Olives have been a staple in the Mediterranean diet for centuries. The olive meat and oil are widely used in so many dishes. Is it possible that olive oil could have medicinal properties? The many mechanisms of action involved in the ultimate removal of spike protein. I sat down with Greek physician-scientist Dr. Antonis (Anthony) Kyriakopoulos of NASCO A.D. Laboratory to learn more about his scholarship on olive oil and its important antioxidant component, lutein. He presented our recent paper describing the potential benefits of lutein for long-Covid and vaccine injury syndromes published on the Preprints Server . Update: A peer-reviewed article of this preprint also exists. I find it interesting that an engineered coronavirus Spike protein devised in a biosecurity lab in Wuhan, China, has presented the world with a series of challenges and that so many of the potential solutions are from natural sources. Please take the time to listen to this academic presentation. Understand tha

Dr. McCullough and the McCullough Foundation continue to search for solutions for long-COVID and COVID-19 vaccine injuries. The main molecular pathways by which the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces pathology, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B cells (NF-κB) and activated protein (AP)-1, can be suppressed by lutein. Published: October 2024 in F1000 Research. Abstract Lutein, a plant-derived xanthophyl-carotenoid, is an exceptional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory constituent found in food. High dietary intake of lutein is beneficial against eye disease, improves cardiometabolic health, protects from neurodegenerative diseases, and is beneficial for liver, kidney, and respiratory health. Lutein protects against oxidative and nitrosative stress, both of which play a major role in long COVID and mRNA vaccination injury syndromes. Lutein is an important natural agent for therapeutic use against oxidative and nitrosative stress in chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular

Well-respected North Texas cardiologist, Dr. Peter McCullough has impeccable academic credentials. He's an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas. He also has a master's degree in public health and is known for being one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the United States and is the editor of two medical journals.

Most children with COVID-19 handle the virus well and recover fully. Despite a lot of fear-mongering, COVID is not a deadly disease for most children. In fact, data show that the death rate is extremely low in patients under 17 years old. This guide aims to help you understand the real risks and know how to respond. The best thing you can do is focus on making sure your child is healthy overall and that their immune system is strong and robust. Recommended Therapies Here's the summary (details and dosing below): Vitamin D : Adequate Vitamin D levels help our bodies fight inflammation and boosts immunity. Vitamin C : An excellent antiviral that protects against a wide variety of viruses including COVID-19. Vitamin A : Found in red, yellow, and orange vegetables and a main component in cod liver oil. Zinc :
