B12 Deficiency. Covid-19 Early Treatment Protocol

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin, meaning that it is not stored in the body.  It is also an essential vitamin that your body cannot manufacture itself.  B12 needs to be consumed every day.  Why you ask?  B12 has a major role in most body functions and helps to create normal blood cells and maintains the health of nerve cells.  B12 also has roles in brain and heart health.  Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia with the associated symptoms of fatigue, lightheadedness and skin paleness.  There is also a long list of symptoms that can come from a lack of vitamin B-12 in the diet. Symptoms include loss of appetite, tingling or numbness in hands, mental confusion, depression, panic attacks, insomnia and balance and walking problems.  If you have the following conditions, you are susceptible to vitamin B12 deficiency:  Age.  Older adults have less stomach acids which contributes to less B12 being absorbed in the body.  4 or more cups of coffee a day  will decrease B12 as will alcohol beverage intake on a regular basis.  Certain medications and antacids will lower your B12.  Stomach or intestinal surgery or disorders also decrease B12 levels, once again due to the hydrochloric acid issue.  Vegetarian or vegans also are low in B12.  Why?  Vitamin B12 is found in animal foods.  Meat, fish, eggs and dairy.  If you are vegan or vegetarian, your source for B12 is nutritional yeast which is high in B12.  As far as supplements go, the best B12 supplements are oral sublingual spray mists. 

Covid-19 and vitamin B12:  A 2020 study conducted in Singapore, found that patients given B12 vitamins in addition to their medical treatments had significantly better outcomes and had less severe Covid-19.  In the study, 17% of patients given B12 vitamins with vitamin D and magnesium required oxygen therapy in the hospital as opposed to 61.5% of the patients not given the vitamins.  In addition, there have been other non-traditional Covid-19 treatments that have save millions of lives around the globe.  These early treatment remedies include corticosteroids, vitamin D3, intravenous high dose vitamin C,  N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid used to treat asthma, ivermectin (antiparasitic drug used safely for 40 years and believe it or not, hydroxychloroquine with zinc infusion.  Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malaria drug used since 1965.  This is the drug that was touted by President Trump and was soon lambasted as unsafe and worthless by the British medical journal the Lancet.  Since that publication, many medical researchers and scientists have found the Lancet paper to be fraudulent and had its own agenda for not wanting hydroxychloroquine to be used as a Covid-19 treatment.  The paper has since been removed from the Lancet journal.  Why does hydroxychloroquine work as a co-treatment for Covid-19?  Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore.  Meaning, it pushes zinc deep into the body’s cells.  Zinc, once inside the cells is a major immune system enhancer.  The same type of problem is currently happening with ivermectin.  Despite its safety record and a published paper in the most respected medical pulmonary journal, Chest showing that ivermectin reduced mortality on hundreds of patients with Covid-19, hospitals are refusing to use ivermectin as a treatment and patients are having to get court orders for their doctors to use the medication.

Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most respected and published medical doctors in our country and editor-in-chief of the prestigious journal Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine co-authored a letter with 56 other prominent physicians and scientists on early covid-19 treatment protocols that should be implemented immediately. These early treatment interventions include vitamin D3, NAC, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine with zinc, IV vitamin C and corticosteroids.  This treatment guide has been downloaded millions of times but is yet to be accepted as early treatment protocol.  Dr. McCullough has testified to congress that he feels that 85% of the 600,000 Covid-19 deaths could have been prevented with these early treatment guidelines.

Covid-19 Update:  In the USA, 341 million doses of the vaccine have been given out.  163 million are fully vaccinated, representing 49.6% of the population. 34 million people have contracted the Covid-19 virus in the USA. There are 331 million people in the USA. 197 million people have Covid-19 antibodies from the actual virus and vaccination combined. 2/3 of the population must have antibodies to reach herd immunity.  That number is 227 million. Estimated 40 million needed for herd immunity. Atlantic County has 258 new cases over the last two week period, up from 131 cases the prior 2 weeks. Atlantic County has had ZERO deaths in the last 2 week period, the same as the prior two weeks. The Delta variant of Covid-19 has a higher spread rate than “our” regular Covid-19.  Doctors have gone on record as saying the Delta variant spreads faster, but is not more dangerous or deadlier than the regular Covid-19 virus.

Covid-19 Vaccine Informed Consent. The purpose of sharing the CDC Vaccine Adverse Reporting System statistics is not to dissuade you from getting the vaccine.  I do not imply that the vaccine does not work and does not prevent severe cases of Covid-19.  My purpose is to present you with information that is not heard on the news. The news only tells one side of the story, the one we do not hear, is that there is some degree of risk in getting the vaccine. Albeit statistically small when compared to the overall numbers vaccinated, but the risk exists.  People do get reactions.  Some minor, some severe.  Some deadly.  It is up to you decided how to proceed and assess your own personal Covid-19 risk compared to a vaccine risk. You cannot make an objective and fact based decision if you are not given all of the information.   Again, these stats are not to dissuade you, but to give you informed consent.  Just like every single drug and medication and vaccine advertised on television, radio or print media, the potential adverse reactions must be known.

Vaccine Informed Consent Information:   Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data released 7/23/21 by the CDC showed a total of 491,218 reports of adverse reactions from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 11,405 deaths and 48,385 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and July 23, 2021.  VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database contains information on unverified reports of adverse events following immunization. Reports are accepted from anyone and can be submitted electronically.   According to the CDC, as of July 24th 2021,   10,991 fully vaccinated people have been hospitalized or died from Covid-19 infection.  This week’s data for 12- to 17-year-olds show 14,494 total adverse events, including 871 rated as serious and 17 reported deaths among 12- to 17-year-olds.  2,127 cases of anaphylaxis, 383 reports of myocarditis and 68 reports of blood clotting disorders in the 12-17 year old age group. This week’s data for pregnancy /prenatal vaccination shows pregnant women had 2,857 adverse events reported including 1072 reports of miscarriage or premature birth. As of July 17th, 337 million doses of the vaccine were administered

Pregnancy, Prenatal Chiropractic Care:   Chiropractic is a definite pregnancy relief for aches discomforts associated with the 9 months of pregnancy.  In addition, seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy can have these added benefits:

• Help with nausea – the vagus nerve in the neck area is associated with nausea.
• Reduce time of labor and delivery
• Reduce lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain
• Help prevent a C-section- Uterine constraint is one cause of breech baby position. Chiropractors work with round ligament tension to correct this problem
• Lower risk of pre-term delivery
• Reduced need for pain medication during delivery and pregnancy
• Faster recovery time

One of the most important reasons for regular prenatal chiropractic care concern making delivery as easy for the mother as possible is restoring pelvic balance.  Pregnancy, changes everything from the way a woman walks to the way she sleeps. Chiropractic care helps with postural discomfort and realigns the spine and restores pelvic balance.  The pelvis must be centered and balanced for easy exit of the baby.  Pregnancy, prenatal trained chiropractors are skilled in this area.
