    New ignored TB treatment

    Professor of Oncology, Angus Dalgleish gives vital information on a repurposed drug he uses for his cancer patients, given at a very low dose. This is Low Dose Naltrexone. Check out the LDN trust website for much more, https://ldnresearchtrust.org Naltrexone at low doses (LDN) and its relevance to cancer therapy https://openaccess.sgul.ac.uk/id/eprint/114135/ Naltrexone was designed to inhibit opioid receptors without activating them and hence used to block the stimulatory effects of morphine and heroin. It was noted that in certain patients being treated with naltrexone for an opioid addiction many reported significant secondary benefit when being weaned off naltrexone. This group of patients had chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and reported improvements whilst using the lower dosages of naltrexone. There have also been recent anecdotal reports of cancer resolution following the use of low doses of naltrexone (LDN). However, the mechanism of action is unclear. Areas covered We review three mechanisms through which LDN can influence cancer progression; namely, (a) antagonism of receptors to which LDN binds, which include toll-like receptors 7–9 that lead to IL-6 suppression b) modulation of immune function in patients; and c) direct inhibition of signaling pathways involved in cancer cell control, including the priming of pro-apoptotic pathways. Expert opinion Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy. https://ldnresearchtrust.org/angus-dalgleish-md-role-ldn-management-cancer-2018-conference-ldn-low-dose-naltrexone Major clinical evidence on the use of low-dose naltrexone in the treatment of cancer: a systematic review https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384236060_Major_clinical_evidence_on_the_use_of_low-dose_naltrexone_in_the_treatment_of_cancer_a_systematic_review https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14737140.2022.2037426#abstract Learn more about your ad choices.

    Proof of vaccine injury

    By definition, these serious adverse events lead to either death, are life-threatening, require inpatient (prolongation of) hospitalisation, cause persistent/significant disability/incapacity, concern a congenital anomaly/birth defect or include a medically important event according to medical judgement Covid vaccines may have helped fuel rise in excess deaths Experts call for more research into side effects and possible links to mortality rates https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/04/covid-vaccines-may-have-helped-fuel-rise-in-excess-deaths/ https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-06-high-excess-death-west-years.html Competing interests: None declared. https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000282 Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. This raises serious concerns. Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate the underlying causes of persistent excess mortality. Insight into excess death rates in years following WHO’s pandemic declaration is crucial for government leaders and policymakers to evaluate their health crisis policies. This study explores excess mortality in the Western World from 2020 until 2022. Methods All-cause mortality reports, ‘Our World in Data’ 47 western countries Comparator Historical death data in a country from 2015 until 2019 Total excess deaths, 1 January 2020 until 31 December 2022 3,098,456 from Excess mortality 2021, 42 countries (89%) Excess mortality 2022, 43 countries (91%) Excess deaths 2020, 1,033,122 excess deaths (P-score 11.4%) 2021, 1,256,942 excess deaths (P-score 13.8%) 2022, 808,392 excess deaths (P-score 8.8%) Conclusions Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. This raises serious concerns. Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality. More information The secondary analysis of the placebo-controlled, phase III randomised clinical trials of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines showed that the Pfizer trial had a 36% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group. The authors of the secondary analysis point out that most of these serious adverse events concern common clinical conditions, for example, ischaemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome and brain haemorrhage. This commonality hinders clinical suspicion and consequently its detection as adverse vaccine reactions These reactions included cardiovascular diseases, coagulation, haemorrhages, gastrointestinal events and thromboses. Numerous studies reported that COVID-19 vaccination may induce myocarditis, pericarditis and autoimmune diseases. Postmortem examinations have also ascribed myocarditis, encephalitis, immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, intracranial haemorrhage and diffuse thrombosis to COVID-19 vaccinations. pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, immune thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

    Lab viral origins report

    The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the COVID-19 pandemic, 14th September 2022 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01585-9/fulltext https://covid19commission.org Viral origins The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unknown. There are two leading hypotheses: that the virus emerged as a zoonotic spillover from wildlife or a farm animal, possibly through a wet market, in a location that is still undetermined; or that the virus emerged from a research-related incident, during the field collection of viruses, or through a laboratory-associated escape. No independent, transparent, and science-based investigation has been carried out regarding the bioengineering of SARS-like viruses that was underway before the outbreak of COVID-19. The laboratory notebooks, databases, email records, and samples of institutions involved in such research have not been made available to independent researchers. Independent researchers have not yet investigated the US laboratories engaged in the laboratory manipulation of SARS-CoV-like viruses, nor have they investigated the details of the laboratory research that had been underway in Wuhan. US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has resisted disclosing details of the research on SARS-CoV-related viruses that it had been supporting, providing extensively redacted information only as required by Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. In brief, there are many potential proximal origins of SARS-CoV-2, but there is still a shortfall of independent, scientific, and collaborative work on the issue. The search for the origins of the virus requires unbiased, independent, transparent, and rigorous work by international teams in the fields of virology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and other related fields, and supported by all governments. In the absence of an unbiased, independent, and rigorous search for a natural origin by a multidisciplinary team of experts alongside an unbiased, independent, and rigorous investigation of the research-related hypotheses, the public's trust in science will be imperilled, with potentially grave long-term repercussions. It is therefore crucial to investigate all hypotheses fully, not only to ascertain the source of the pandemic and to protect against future emerging infectious diseases, but also to ensure the integrity of science itself. The perceived lack of transparency to date by leading scientific agencies and laboratories is troubling and needs to be addressed. Strategies to prevent research-related releases should include stronger international and national oversight of biosafety, biosecurity, and biorisk management, including the strict regulation of gain of function research of concern. When investigating the origins of any novel pathogen, potential hypotheses should not be prematurely rejected to ensure that time-sensitive data— such as early case information and laboratory records—are collected.

    Birth rates down after vaccine

    Rates of Successful Conceptions According to COVID-19 Vaccination Status: Data from the Czech Republic https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202504.2487/v1 Birth rates about 30% lower in vaccinated v unvaccinated women 1,300,000 women Total fertility rate in the Czech Republic 2021, 1.83 births per 1000 women 2022, 1.62 births per 1000 women 2023, 1.45 births per 1000 women Declining birth rates have been reported in many countries following the COVID-19 pandemic, and have been linked with economic instability, social inequality, and related social restrictions Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics have been observed, but limited data are available on the relationship between vaccination status and birth rates. We used nationwide data from the Czech Republic To examine rates of successful conceptions i.e., conceptions leading to live births 9 months later, for women, either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19, before successful conceptions Data from January 2021 to December 2023 Monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data for women aged 18-39 years in the Czech Republic Numbers of SCs per month per 1,000 women, preconception-vaccinated or unvaccinated women Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines comprised 96% of all vaccine doses, Results 1,300,000 women aged 18-39 years in the Czech Republic The proportion of COVID-19-vaccinated women increased until reaching a steady state of around 70% by the end of 2021. During the entire study period, SCs per 1,000 women were considerably lower for women who were vaccinated, compared to those that were unvaccinated. At the end of June 2021 39% of all women had been vaccinated, those vaccinated before SC contributed only 7% of all SCs. Furthermore, SC rates for the vaccinated group were generally much lower than expected based on their proportion of the total population. Throughout 2022, SC rates remained about 1.5 times higher for women that were unvaccinated before SC compared with those that were vaccinated before SC Conclusions In the Czech Republic, SC rates were substantially lower for women vaccinated against COVID-19 before SC than for those who were not vaccinated. These hypothesis-generating and preliminary results call for further studies of the potential influence of COVID-19 vaccination on human fecundability and fertility. Unfortunately, the potential influence on reproductive health was not assessed in randomized preauthorization trials of COVID-19 vaccines The Czech Republic is one of the few countries where nationwide birth data are available for women who were vaccinated or unvaccinated for COVID-19, It is possible that more women who wished to become pregnant, i.e., achieve SC, chose not to be vaccinated, and/or that more women who did not plan to become pregnant opted for vaccination. Mechanisms Vaccination may be associated with menstrual pain and changes in menstrual flow and cycle length Direct effects of Pfizer on the ovarian follicle were reported recently. https://drjohncampbell.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

Data should be released “on the same anonymised basis that it was shared with the pharmaceutical groups, and there seems to be no credible reason why that should not be done immediately”. “Questions about these trends, however, have to date been met by a relative wall of silence from your organisations and other public health officials.” A DHSC spokesman “We are committed to data transparency and publish a wide range of data on excess mortality.

Check out the LDN trust website for much more, https://ldnresearchtrust.org Naltrexone at low doses (LDN) and its relevance to cancer therapy https://openaccess.sgul.ac.uk/id/eprint/114135/ Naltrexone was designed to inhibit opioid receptors without activating them and hence used to block the stimulatory effects of morphine and heroin. It was noted that in certain patients being treated with naltrexone for an opioid addiction many reported significant secondary benefit when being weaned off naltrexone. This group of patients had chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and reported improvements whilst using the lower dosages of naltrexone. There have also been recent anecdotal reports of cancer resolution following the use of low doses of naltrexone (LDN). However, the mechanism of action is unclear. Areas covered We review three mechanisms through which LDN can influence cancer progression; namely, (a) antagonism of receptors to which LDN binds, which include toll-like receptors 7–9 that lead to IL-6 suppression b) modulation of immune function in patients; and c) direct inhibition of signaling pathways involved in cancer cell control, including the priming of pro-apoptotic pathways. Expert opinion Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy. https://ldnresearchtrust.org/angus-dalgleish-md-role-ldn-management-cancer-2018-conference-ldn-low-dose-naltrexone Major clinical evidence on the use of low-dose naltrexone in the treatment of cancer: a systematic review https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384236060_Major_clinical_evidence_on_the_use_of_low-dose_naltrexone_in_the_treatment_of_cancer_a_systematic_review https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14737140.2022.2037426#abstract Learn more about your ad choices.

    Scotland comes transparent

We understand from this exchange that paramedics arrived at his door one day and they handed him a bit of paper and said, "you need to keep this by your bed". It was a DNACPR decision document or slip. The slip was signed by a clinician that said discussion had been had with patient and reason was just two words "communication difficulties". (Presumably, linked to his hearing loss). In this instance the DNACPR was not about them having any condition that would mean there is substantial or significant underlying health condition, which would be challenging if they contracted COVID; they were being written off because it was hard to communicate with them. Even if it was the case that someone might face difficulties if they contracted COVID-19, why on earth is there a pre-emptive DNACPR? And particularly so with no discussion or any form of dignified process for the recipient. …. we had a sense that this was also be happening in care homes, where all residents were having DNACPR decisions issued in a blanket manner, not on an individual basis. I heard of examples where there were cases of COVID in care homes, a medical response was not forthcoming. COVID was simply going to go through the care home and there was not the resources to help everyone. And it would be said that "we're not transferring you to hospital because you're in a sort of a safe place. We'll try and manage your condition as best we can in the care home environment". We also found examples of people who upon leaving hospital found DNACPR decisions in their discharge papers without any discussion having been had with them. The box was ticked which said they had had a discussion, where in fact none was. It was the end of May 2020, I think, when it was becoming apparent that there were so many of these instances.

    Interview, correction, qualification

    DW news, quite rightly and correctly, asked me for clarification on my contention that the virus was likely to have arisen in Africa. We know that a young woman arrived from Egypt who had flown via Turkey into Belgium landing on the 11th of November. We also we also know that she became symptomatic and tested positive for the omicron variant on the 22nd of November. It is possible that this young woman had a long incubation period of 11 days or more, but this is somewhat improbable. This clearly leaves open the possibility that she contracted the virus within Belgium, between the 11th and 22nd of November. It is therefore within the bounds of possibility that she originally contracted this virus in Egypt, or on the flight from Egypt to Turkey, or the flight from Turkey to Belgium, or in Belgium. This is what we know so far and of course it is important not to over extrapolate from the facts at our disposal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Natural immunity in Portugal

    Rise of natural acquired immunity Get additional scientific background from John’s free text books, http://159.69.48.3/ (you will need to cut and paste this link into your browser) Risk of BA.5 Infection among Persons Exposed to Previous SARS-CoV-2 Variants https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2209479?query=TOC&cid=NEJM%20eToc,%20September%201,%202022%20DM1402792_NEJM_Non_Subscriber&bid=1141953912 https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMc2209479/suppl_file/nejmc2209479_appendix.pdf Omicron subvariants, BA.1 and BA.2, displaced by BA.5 in many countries Greater transmissibility Partial evasion of BA.1- and BA.2-induced immunity Portugal, one of the first countries affected by a BA.5 predominance N = 9,307,996 All Portuguese residents aged 12 years and older, (National Census 2021) Uninfected people in June 1st 2022 was 5, 328, 287, (57% of the Portuguese population over 12) (PCR tests and rapid antigen tests to diagnose cases) Presence of undocumented infections among the “uninfected” group of individuals 29.2% of infections were not notified (based on the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 anti-N IgG in the population) National coronavirus disease 2019 registry (SINAVE) (all reported cases in the country, regardless of clinical presentation) To calculate the risk of BA.5 infection after documented infection with past variants, including BA.1 and BA.2 Times when different variants represented more than 90% of the isolates To calculate their infection risk during the period of BA.5 dominance Pooled BA.1 and BA.2 (slow transition between the two subvariants) Comparator group Population that did not have any documented infection before BA.5 dominance (June 1, 2022) Results Wuhan-Hu-1 55.7% Alpha 58.8% Delta 64.5% BA.1 / BA.2 7 6.8% We found that previous SARS-CoV-2 infection had a protective effect against BA.5 infection Protection was maximal for previous infection with BA.1 or BA.2 (not suprising) Context Portugal more than 98% of the study population completed the primary vaccination series before 2022 There is a perception that the protection afforded by previous BA.1 or BA.2 infection is very low, given the high number of BA.5 infections among persons with previous BA.1 or BA.2 infection. Our data indicate that this perception is probably a consequence of the larger pool of persons with BA.1 or BA.2 infection than with infection by other subvariants, and it is not supported by the data. Breakthrough infections with the BA.5 subvariant were less likely among persons with a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection history … especially for previous BA.1 or BA.2 infection, than among uninfected persons.
