Thyme Extract Helps Treat COVID-19

Posted by on Feb 15, 2021 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Thyme Extract Helps Treat COVID-19

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made the news when he began promoting Carvativir, an oral solution made from extracts of thyme and oregano, for the treatment of COVID-19.1 Long before placebo-controlled, randomized studies were the gold standard for clinical trials, people relied on results from small groups of people. If a traditional medicine had positive results in a community, it was used. Without statistical analysis or comparing p-values, people had to rely on the proximate results. This meant a traditional medicine that was only...

NAD+ Helps Restore Age-Related Muscle Deterioration

Posted by on Feb 15, 2021 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on NAD+ Helps Restore Age-Related Muscle Deterioration

The tendency is to lose muscle as you age, a condition known as sarcopenia. If you don’t do anything to stop it you can expect to lose about 15% of your muscle mass between your 30s and your 80s.1 An estimated 10% to 25% of seniors under the age of 70 have sarcopenia and as many as half those over the age of 80 are impaired with it.2 Enforced bedrest, due to hospitalization, for example, can also have a dramatic impact on your muscle mass, even if you’re younger. According to a 2015 review3 in Extreme Physiology & Medicine, you can lose...

The New Normal Documentary

Posted by on Feb 13, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The New Normal Documentary

“The New Normal” documentary by Happen.network investigates speculation that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned — or at least is being exploited — by a group of tech elite who are dictating policy to governments globally in order to push a totalitarian agenda. There are many moving parts involved, from bad data that are inflating COVID-19 mortality rates to problems with PCR tests that are leading to very high false positive rates. A falsely inflated death rate drives more fear among the population, while a misleadingly high number of cases...

New Anal Swab Tests Deployed to Fight COVID

Posted by on Feb 13, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on New Anal Swab Tests Deployed to Fight COVID

A video said to have been filmed in Shijiazhuang, China, showed people walking with a waddle as they left a hospital, presumably after having received a new anal swab test for COVID-19. The Shijiazhuang Internet Report Centre said the video was fake, and it’s since been taken down, but not before millions of people viewed it.1 While the image of people waddling like penguins after an anal swab might be an exaggeration, what’s not fake is the anal swab test for COVID-19. Released in Beijing, the test is said to be a more accurate...

Ease Neck Strain From Faulty Posture

Posted by on Feb 12, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Ease Neck Strain From Faulty Posture

Poor posture has become the norm rather than the exception in the 21st century — the outcome of sedentary lifestyles, office work and excessive screen time. Neck humps, also known as a buffalo hump, dowager’s hump or, clinically, as kyphosis or rounding of the back, can be caused by osteoporosis, arthritis and spinal fractures,1 but most commonly are due to poor posture.2 Leaning forward, slouching or hunching over in front of a computer, cellphone or tablet puts extra strain on your back and can lead to an abnormal curve in the upper...

If you’re relying on Google and YouTube for your daily dose of news and health information, you’re missing out. Big Tech’s censorship is in full effect, which means they’re choosing what you get to see — and what you don’t. Following are some of my top videos that have been banned by Google and YouTube — many of them featuring interviews with health experts sharing their medical or scientific expertise. What is it that they don’t want you to see? You can watch them — fully uncensored — for yourself and find...

Public Health Officials Are Destroying Humanity

Posted by on Feb 11, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Public Health Officials Are Destroying Humanity

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly been the most traumatic period of time in many people’s lives. The devastation wrought is incalculable when you take into account things that aren’t easily measured, such as mental health, physical abuse and food insecurity. The harsh truth, however, is that virtually none of it was necessary. The real damage occurred as a result of the decisions made by global, national and local health and government officials, acting in concert according to some predetermined plan. The Swedish ‘Just Enough’ Way The...

Lower Omega-3 Levels Correspond to COVID Deaths

Posted by on Feb 11, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Lower Omega-3 Levels Correspond to COVID Deaths

Omega-3 fats are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) your body needs for a variety of functions such as digestion, blood clotting, brain health and muscle activity. Recent data show people with an omega-3 index greater than or equal to 5.7% had a lower rate of death from COVID-19.1,2 Humans evolved on a diet of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in a ratio of close to 1-to-1.3 However, most Western diets have a ratio of 16.7-to-14 or greater.5 The shift in omega fat ratio began during the industrial revolution when people began eating more...

How Safe Are the Nanoparticles in Moderna’s Vaccine?

Posted by on Feb 10, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How Safe Are the Nanoparticles in Moderna’s Vaccine?

Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are made with messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, which works by turning your body’s cells into veritable drug factories. The mRNA vaccines teach your cells to produce a protein, or piece of protein, that triggers an immune response, including the production of antibodies.1 However, because natural mRNA is easily broken down, this means the experimental gene therapy needs a special delivery system to make it to the body’s cells. Moderna and Pfizer are using lipid nanoparticles...

Eight Different Plasticizers Found in 90% of People

Posted by on Feb 10, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Eight Different Plasticizers Found in 90% of People

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health found that 90% of those tested from 2016 to 2017 had eight different plasticizers in their urine.1 Plasticizers are colorless, odorless chemicals composed mostly of phthalates.2 They are used to change the elasticity of materials in the manufacturing process. Plastic products and components have been integrated into most people’s daily lives. You can find them in shower curtains, take-out containers and storage bags — but did you know that clothing, paper coffee cups, tea bags, chewing gum and...

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines

Posted by on Feb 9, 2021 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines

Did you know that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines aren’t vaccines in the medical and legal definition of a vaccine? They do not prevent you from getting the infection, nor do they prevent its spread. They’re really experimental gene therapies. I discussed this troubling fact in a recent interview with molecular biologist Judy Mikovits, Ph.D. While the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA shots are labeled as “vaccines,” and news agencies and health policy leaders call them that, the actual patents for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s injections more truthfully describe them...

Can Beta-Glucans Be a Weapon Against Infections?

Posted by on Feb 8, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Can Beta-Glucans Be a Weapon Against Infections?

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring long-chain carbohydrates known as polysaccharides, found in yeasts, fungi, bacteria and certain plants, including seaweed.1 Widely available as a dietary supplement, beta-glucans have received little fanfare compared to other more popular supplements, but there is reason to believe they may be useful for stimulating the immune system and warding off everything from infectious diseases to cancer.2 At the foundation of their benefits may be the ability to ramp up the innate immune system, a mechanism first...

Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

Posted by on Feb 8, 2021 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is used by nearly all your cells, and helps to metabolize the carbohydrates and lipids in the foods you eat. It also facilitates converting your food into energy and boosting the flow of electrolytes in and out of your nerves and muscles. It’s considered “essential” because your body can’t produce it on its own; it must come from an outside source. Thiamine is sometimes referred to as an “antistress” vitamin for its positive influence on your central nervous system, and it’s also...
