Comment Re:Bromine substitutes for Iodine creating hypothy (Score 1) 176

Also Bromine is used in some baked goods as a leavening agent. Bromine is also used in some asthma inhalers. Some people brominate their pools instead of chlorinating their pools. Potassium bromate is a chemical additive commonly used in the food industry to help strengthen dough and enhance the texture of baked goods. It's often added to bread, rolls and other baked goods to make them rise higher and have a more uniform texture. EWG has identified over 130 different products that contain potassium bromate. Again, as a Medical Doctor and hypothyroid, this is a major common problem.

Unfortunately, people retain Bromine. So Bromine poisoning is somewhat cumulative. Human bodies try to hang on to Iodine. Human bodies also try to hang on to Bromine as well.

Comment Bromine substitutes for Iodine creating hypothyroi (Score 5, Informative) 176

BVO contains Bromine. Bromine is in the same column as iodine in the periodic table. Bromine is roughly the similar size as iodine as well. Bromine will substitute for Iodine in a human body and then cause havoc in the endocrine system. In other words, instead of 3 iodines in a T3 thyroid hormone, there may be 2 iodines and a bromine. This means that the T3 is defective and will not work. As a Medical Doctor, it is very common for me to see hypothyroid patients that are poisoned with Bromine. If you are able to flush the bromine out of the body, their endocrine hypothyroid problem gets better.

In yet another effort to calculate excess deaths from vaccinations from a non-VAERS database, Ohio-based Attorney Thomas Renz used the Medicare database (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to calculate that there have been 48,465 deaths among Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries within fourteen days of a first or second dose of aCOVID-19 vaccine.72,73 There are about 59.4 million Americans covered by Medicare, representing only 18.1 percent of the population, so these staggering numbers are roughly comparable to Steve Kirsch’s population-wide estimate of 150,000. How CDC Hid The Wave of Vaccine Deaths According to Dr. Fauci, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House, and most mainstream media, we now have a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,”74 with 95 percent to 99 percent of COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths being attributed to the unvaccinated. As I mentioned above, these estimates are the product of systematic deception of the public—and presumably of the President—by America’s top regulators. So how did CDC go about fooling President Biden? One of CDC’s bold deceptions is to hide vaccine mortalities in US data by counting all people as “unvaccinated” unless their deaths occur more than two weeks AFTER the second vaccine.75 (Ironically, CDC doubles down on this fraud by counting many of these vaccine deaths as COVID deaths.) In this way, CDC captures that wave of deaths that occurs after vaccination and attributes them all to “unvaccinated.” This is only one of many statistical chicaneries that the CDC employs to hide vaccine injuries and to stoke public fears of COVID. The CDC utilized an even brassier canard to support President Joe Biden’s claim that 98 percent of vaccine hospitalizations and deaths were among the unvaccinated. In an August 5 video statement, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky inadvertently revealed the agency’s principal gimmick for fabricating that statistic. Walensky sheepishly admitted that CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021 in its calculation.76 The vast majority of the US population were, of course, unvaccinated during that time frame, so it makes sense that almost all hospitalizations would therefore be only among the unvaccinated. This is simply because there were almost no vaccinated Americans during that time period! By January 1, only 0.4 percent of the US population had received a COVID shot.77 By mid-April, an estimated 37 percent had received one or more shots78 and as of June 15, only 43.34 percent were fully “vaccinated.”79 Using these data was therefore pretty blatant fraud. Of course, CDC never let on that it was foisting eight-month-old data on Americans, allowing us instead to believe that these were current hospitalization rates as of August. To compound this flimflam, CDC perpetuated an even more audacious hustle. CDC omitted the current (as of August) data related to hospitalizations from the Delta variant, which disproportionately hospitalized vaccinated individuals in those other countries for which we have more reliable data. CDC’s promotion of this statistical bunko was obviously grossly misleading. Assuming President Biden wasn’t deliberately lying to the American people, it’s clear that CDC was lying to President Biden and using him to dupe the rest of us. Kennedy Jr., Robert F. .

Here is the original paper put out by the CDC on vax efficacy. Please see the paper dated Sept. 17, 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volum... I thought that the vax would decrease severity of the disease. However, the data from this CDC paper says that Hosptalization and Death rates once you become a "Case" of COVID is the SAME. See Table 1. This data from the CDC is very disturbing. Death rate/ Fully Vaccinated = 616/46,312 = 1.3% Death rate/ Not Fully Vaccinated = 6,132/569,142 = 1.07% Hospitalization/Fully Vaccinated = 2,976/46,312 = 6.4% Hospitalization/Not Fully Vaccinated = 34,972/569,142 = 6.1% “Fully Vaccinated” means they have two Moderna Shots or two Pfizer Shots and 14 days. OR one Johnson and Johnson shot and 14 days. “Not Fully Vaccinated” means 1. Unvaccinated PLUS 2. In the PROCESS of being vaccinated. “Not Fully Vaccinated” is NOT the same as “Unvaccinated”.

The FDA notes that they "received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses". The number of reports was 4 [Pfeiffer]. For comparison, acetaminophen overdose results in ~33,000 yearly hospitalizations in the USA (~12,000 unintentional) [Charilaou]. The FDA's recommendation may increase cases of self-medication with animal ivermectin, because it reduces the percentage of prescribing physicians. ivmmeta.com

Comment The number of overdose reports was 4 for ivermecti (Score 0) 440

https://ivmmeta.com/ FDA Analysis The US FDA recommended against ivermectin on March 5, 2021, however they state that "The FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19". This recommendation has not been updated for 185 days. The FDA notes that they "received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses". The number of reports was 4 [Pfeiffer]. For comparison, acetaminophen overdose results in ~33,000 yearly hospitalizations in the USA (~12,000 unintentional) [Charilaou]. The FDA's recommendation may increase cases of self-medication with animal ivermectin, because it reduces the percentage of prescribing physicians. They say that "Ivermectin is not an anti-viral", however many studies contradict this [Ahmed, Aref, Babalola, Biber, Bukhari, Caly, Chowdhury, Elalfy, Espitia-Hernandez, Khan, Mahmud, Mohan, Mourya, Okumu], including 9 RCTs. They note that "some initial research is underway", however there had been many studies completed and published prior to the FDA recommendation [Afsar, Ahmed, Alam, Babalola, Behera, Bernigaud, Biber, Budhiraja, Bukhari, Cadegiani, Camprubí, Carvallo (C), Chaccour, Chachar, Chahla (B), Chowdhury, Elalfy, Espitia-Hernandez, Gonzalez, Gorial, Hashim, Hellwig, Khan, Lima-Morales, López-Medina, Mahmud, Mohan, Niaee, Okumu, Podder, Rajter, Ravikirti, Samaha, Shouman, Spoorthi], including 19 RCTs.

Comment Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis (Score 1) 440

https://ivmmeta.com/ Conclusion Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 63 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 1 trillion. As expected for an effective treatment, early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 69% in the effect measured using random effects meta-analysis (RR 0.31 [0.21-0.46]). 37% and 96% lower mortality is observed for early treatment and prophylaxis (RR 0.63 [0.38-1.04] and 0.04 [0.00-0.59]). Statistically significant improvements are seen for mortality, hospitalization, recovery, cases, and viral clearance. The consistency of positive results across a wide variety of heterogeneous studies is remarkable, with 92% of the 63 studies reporting positive effects (28 statistically significant in isolation).
