Donate Blood: You May Be Saving Your Own Life

Posted by on Jun 3, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Donate Blood: You May Be Saving Your Own Life

Iron is essential for hundreds of biological functions including DNA synthesis, oxygen transport and the use of energy. About 6% of the human body is iron and 25% of it is stored as ferritin.1 Iron is used in every living thing. Plants, animals, bacteria and even cancer cells would not survive without iron. Plants use it to make chlorophyll, while animals and humans need it to make hemoglobin in order to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.2 Your body recycles iron from red blood cells, and you can absorb it from your food. A common symptom...

Expect Coronavirus Vaccine Failure and Reactions

Posted by on Jun 2, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Expect Coronavirus Vaccine Failure and Reactions

The race is on to develop the first vaccine for COVID-19, with competitors eager to roll out what’s likely to be the most fast-tracked vaccine ever created. Initially, public health officials had stated that a vaccine could be ready in an unprecedented 12 to 18 months. Now, there’s talk of accelerating vaccine delivery even further, with a target date of fall 2020.1 Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),2 and Bill Gates are among those who have stated that life cannot...

20% of COVID Patients Caught Disease at Hospital

Posted by on Jun 2, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on 20% of COVID Patients Caught Disease at Hospital

I’ve often stated that if you want to stay healthy, staying out of hospitals, except in cases of emergency, is highly recommended. Not only are hospitals the scene of tens of thousands — and possibly hundreds of thousands — of preventable deaths annually due to medical errors,1 but they’re also notorious for spreading lethal hospital-acquired infections. Each day in the U.S., about 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least one health care-associated infection, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and...

Posted by on Jun 2, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on US Surveillance Bill 6666: The Devil in the Details

As if vaccine passports, COVID-19 contact tracing apps and the Rockefeller Foundation’s plan to reopen America don’t already pose enough of a threat to civil liberties and democratic society, here comes a new bill, H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.1 The bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce by Rep.

Nourish Mint — A Plan for Farmers and Natural Businesses

Posted by on Jun 1, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Nourish Mint — A Plan for Farmers and Natural Businesses

The unemployment caused by the coronavirus pandemic will soon exceed that of the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 and represents the worst decline in jobs since the Great Depression in the 1930s.1 It is difficult to overstate how many jobs have been lost — each Labor Department report adds to the grim statistics. In two short months, the leisure and hospitality industry, which includes travel, tourism, lodging and recreation, shed almost half its jobs.2 Most of the lost jobs were related to eating and drinking establishments, work that...

Quercetin Boosts Interferon Response to Viruses and COVID-19

Posted by on Jun 1, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Quercetin Boosts Interferon Response to Viruses and COVID-19

As the number of people who have died from COVID-19 rises, more widespread testing reveals the infection may have moved farther and faster than was anticipated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released five planning scenarios1 “designed to help inform decisions by modelers and public health officials who utilize mathematical modeling.” Each of the scenarios is based on numerical values and epidemiological characteristics of the viral infection, reflective of data gathered before April 29, 2020. The CDC is...

Your Vitamin D Level Must Reach 60ng/mL Before the Second Wave

Posted by on Jun 1, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Your Vitamin D Level Must Reach 60ng/mL Before the Second Wave

As reviewed in “Vitamin D Level Is Directly Correlated to COVID-19 Outcomes,” there’s compelling evidence to suggest optimizing your vitamin D level can reduce your risk of COVID-19 and other viral infections such as seasonal influenza. A number of different scientists are calling for people and governments to prepare for a second wave of COVID-19 come fall, both in the U.S. and abroad.1 Considering SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to be responsive to temperature and humidity, with infectiousness increasing with lower temperatures...

Why Was Wuhan Lab Locked Down When Outbreak Began?

Posted by on May 30, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Why Was Wuhan Lab Locked Down When Outbreak Began?

GAs reported in “Bioweapon Labs Must Be Shut Down and Scientists Prosecuted,” there’s mounting evidence suggesting SARS-CoV-2 may have been leaked (whether inadvertently or not) from the biosafety level (BSL) 4 laboratory in Wuhan, China.1,2 I’ve also interviewed bioweapons expert Francis Boyle and molecular biologist Judy Mikovits, both of whom have cited evidence that strongly points toward SARS-CoV-2 being an escaped laboratory creation. Why Was Wuhan Lab Shut Down? Fueling suspicions that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from...

COVID-19 Critical Care

Posted by on May 29, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on COVID-19 Critical Care

“Why is success in critical care being ignored?” the Alliance for Natural Health rightly asks.1 The organization claims “much more could be done to save lives” if critical care protocols were to take into account what critical care doctors are finding in practice. A May 14, 2020, article reads, in part:2 “After around 8 weeks in lockdown and 3 months since the spectre of Covid-19 loomed large in our media headlines, why is it that a team of frontline critical (intensive) care doctors in the USA who have delivered...

Pandemic and Epidemic Collide in COVID-19

Posted by on May 28, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Pandemic and Epidemic Collide in COVID-19

As the world’s attention remains focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, essential attention is turned away from other life-threatening epidemics, including opioid addiction. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, opioid misuse and addiction had become rampant in the U.S. In the late 1990s, drug companies assured doctors that opioid pain relievers were safe and nonaddictive, leading to an increase in prescribing rates. Opioid overdose rates increased rapidly as it became clear that opioids can be highly addictive. In 2018, 46,802 Americans died from...

Are Stay-at-Home Orders Decimating Vitamin D Levels?

Posted by on May 28, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Are Stay-at-Home Orders Decimating Vitamin D Levels?

Recent scientific papers have highlighted the role vitamin D may be playing in the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in severe cases. Considering researchers have also shown that SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly inactivated by sunlight,1 areas that are banning people from parks and beaches, are undoubtedly committing a grave error.In fact, it has been nearly impossible to document outdoor transmission of the disease.  This is because one factor for catching disease is dependent on the viral load – the amount of exposure which is quickly diluted...

Global Health Mafia Protection

Posted by on May 27, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Global Health Mafia Protection

Amid the questions about COVID-19’s origin and lab research are questions about the self-appointed global health groups addressing the pandemic. According to a recent video blog by a Canadian citizen journalist who goes by the name “Amazing Polly,” global health groups operate as a Mafia, shamelessly using extortion and protection to achieve their goals.1 According to Polly, even though global health groups have nongovernmental organization “NGO names,” they are actually Mafia-like families answering to a...

COVID Symptoms of Power: Tech Billionaires Harvest Humanity

Posted by on May 27, 2020 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on COVID Symptoms of Power: Tech Billionaires Harvest Humanity

Bill Gates has built a global empire around his technologies and “philanthropic” endeavors. His sheer wealth has allowed him to become a veritable superpower in his own right, rising to become the unelected global health tsar on COVID-19. Indeed, the World Health Organization and the White House pandemic response team even kowtows to his nonexistent medical expertise. Life cannot and will not go back to normal until we can vaccinate the entire global population, Gates says, and that same sentiment is being echoed from government...
