Background journalism instead of court reporting. Independent. Uncomfortable. Incorruptible.
In the Corona crisis, naturopathy could resurrect splendidly. But she is not allowed to.
Honestly, it could have been a great year, this fatal 2020. Not despite the pandemic, but with and because of it. Because the Corona crisis opens up the opportunity to open a new chapter in the history of medicine: the worldwide healing of sick health systems. The pandemic offers ample opportunity to reflect on what health actually means, what it preserves and restores. It could show humankind how foolish and expensive, how ineffective and dangerous it can be to rely one-sidedly on industry-driven, pharmaceutical-heavy conventional medicine. Nothing less than a triumphant renaissance in naturopathy could have ushered in 2020.
Because this type of medicine has always known what protects us from all kinds of infectious diseases – and how they can be treated highly effectively if they catch us, Covid-19 would not have overwhelmed her either. She would have come to her without remdesivir, without Comirnaty, without mRNA-1273. Without face flaps and social distancing. Without curfews, quarantines and shutdowns. Without devastating collateral damage to society, economy, and psyche. Like a phoenix from the ashes, this healing art could have risen to the horror of all its adversaries, its character assassins, its oppressors.
But nothing like that happens. Instead, their users and supporters continue to predominate: frustration and helplessness, despondency and resignation. Once again, they have to admit what a shockingly insignificant role their politicians and the media now trust and grant in protecting the population’s health. They remain on the sidelines, locked out of the relevant expert commissions and TV discussion groups, ridiculed as non-evidence-based placebo believers. Others lead the word. It’s a hair puller.
How little idea of health may a health minister have?
Assuming that the head of the Ministry of Health is not a banker and long-time pharmaceutical lobbyist, but an experienced, courageous, unswerving doctor specializing in naturopathic treatment: how would the crisis have been dealt with? What would he have said at press conferences, in interviews and talk shows, at the podium in the Bundestag? With what knowledge, assessments, and recommendations would he have tried to close the abysmal gaping knowledge gaps of all the medical laypeople who sit with him at the cabinet table? How much would he have let himself be whispered by lobbyists in the health industry?
The daily rewrote “case” figures from Robert Koch and Johns Hopkins, the horror predictions of notorious alarmists from Imperial College, Charité, and the fly carrier club would hardly have caused howling and chattering teeth in such a health minister, coupled with mad, industry-driven hyperactivity. He would never have seriously considered unconstitutional lockdowns based on the Red Chinese draft, let alone implemented them, mocking fundamental rights. He would have waived the revision of the Infection Protection Act. And he indeed would not have advocated vaccines as the only salvation. The early Merkel / Söder-Junktim – “The pandemic is only over when there is a vaccine – until then we are at the mercy of the virus” – he would have relentlessly exposed for what it is: a brain tear in need of therapy from the phrase threshing floor.
After October 21, 2020, at the latest, Spahn’s penny should have dropped. There he was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, immediately went into quarantine at home – and, oh wonder, he survived it! Unvaccinated! In “perfect” shape, he presented himself to a video link from home. He returned to the ministry fit on November 2. The pandemic made him “humble,” he explained afterward. If this virtuous act of voluntary self-submission was to worship the ideal of critical reason, it failed utterly.
Protected from Covid-19 from the start
Instead, such a health minister – let’s call him Johannes Ohnespahn – would have tirelessly emphasized what was already evident a few weeks after the start of the crisis: The population is already extremely well protected against this supposedly “new” coronavirus from Wuhan. It was her from the start. Older blood, cell, and wastewater samples indicate that SARS-CoV-2 has been on the road in Western Europe since November 2019 at the latest. (1) What would an “exponential growth” in the number of cases have meant, which alarmists keep whispering about? A little typing on the calculator shows: With an initial doubling rate of two to three days, without any countermeasures, the whole of Germany, right down to the last nursing home occupant, would have been thoroughly infected by the end of January 2020. (see table below) According to the hair-raising fatality prognoses that were initially circulating, several hundred thousand Covid 19 victims would have had to overcrowd the republic’s cemeteries by then.
Instead, ominous curves very soon not only flattened but strove hard south. Obviously, there was a factor that prevented infections from spreading “exponentially” from the outset – an “immunological ‘dark matter'” that the British biologist Karl Friston from University College London assumed in spring 2020. “It seems more and more likely that many people are insensitive to infections, perhaps because they (…) have a kind of natural resistance. It’s like dark matter in the universe: we can’t see it, but we know that it has to be there to explain what we can see. “
This “dark” has meanwhile become clear: Even in people who have not yet caught SARS-CoV-2, there are cross-reactive T cells mediated through the previous contact with other coronaviruses; As a result, up to 81% of all Germans already have a specific background immunity.
How can it be explained that 80 percent of all infections are overcome without symptoms, and another 15% have mild, cold-like symptoms? How else could it be that SARS-CoV-2 does not kill 100 percent of all those who test positive, but only 0.1 to 0.2 percent on average? Why does an infection survive? According to official statistics from health authorities such as the US Disease Protection Agency CDC, 99.9997% of all children and adolescents, 99.98% of all 20 to 49-year-olds, 99.5% of all 50 to 69-year-olds, and even 94.6% of all seniors over 70?
In truth, as a technically competent Ohnespahn would have suspected, the actual “Infection Fatality Rate” (IFR) is even significantly lower. The official quota sets the number of deaths in relation to the number of test positives determined. In fact, a much more significant proportion of the population has already become infected. According to seroprevalence studies, up to 23% in the United States had developed antibodies by September 2020, depending on the state (2); in Sweden. The figure was as high as 31.6% by mid-November, compared to 15% in October. In the “hotspot” Gangelt, it was already 15.5% by July 2020. Elsewhere, the “degree of contamination” was between 0.3% (Hamburg) and 12% (Kupferzell).
The WHO now assumes that around 10% of the world’s population has already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. That would be almost 800 million: eight times more than the approx. 100 million officially “confirmed cases” by the end of January 2021. Even if all 2.2 million so-called “corona deaths” had actually died because of SARS-CoV-2, that would result in a “fatality” of 0.28%, no more. According to a study by medical researcher John Ioannidis from Stanford University, who evaluated numbers from 51 regions worldwide, the IFR is even lower, at 0.19%. For those under 70, it drops to 0.03 to 0.04%.
Based on this, the supposed killer germ kills a maximum of two out of a thousand people it attacks. On average, they are then over 80 years old.
Anyone who clarifies this is not “playing down.” He refuses to inflate the mosquito into an elephant.
Better than any vaccine: our immune system
What would a health minister who is clear about all this have explained to the frightened people? Each of us, including himself, has marvelous self-protection against infections of all kinds. This protection does not have to be invented, using billions upon billions of taxpayers’ money. You don’t have to pick it up from a doctor’s office or vaccination center. In terms of effectiveness, it easily dwarfs the quotas of the Covid vaccine, which have been adjusted for advertising effectiveness. It was developed and tested not within a few months on a few tens of thousands of test subjects but on billions upon billions of people who populated this planet over several hundred thousand years of biological evolution. It is very well tolerated, free of side effects, and intact for a lifetime, provided we take care of it. We all had it in the cradle: an immune system.
This body’s own defense can render SARS-CoV-2 harmless in a highly effective manner.
In addition, such a health minister would have been keenly interested in why this defense fails in roughly every twentieth case. He would have wanted to find out what people have in common that an infection makes seriously ill, even kills. He would have taken early findings seriously that there was at least one pre-existing severe illness in the vast majority of such cases – the US Disease Protection Agency (CDC) assumes 6%. There was hardly any CDC case where an autopsy took place – by far the most reliable method of determining the causes of death. The Hamburg forensic doctor Prof. Klaus Püschel performed them on over 250 so-called “corona victims.” He did not come across a single case in which the alleged killer germ killed someone who had previously been entirely healthy. (3) Püschel’s findings suggest that the valid rate is more between zero and one percent than around six.
What makes you susceptible to Covid-19
A curious minister of health would have wanted to know what pre-existing fatal illnesses are – and how inevitable they are.
He would have found out: Overweight, high blood pressure (76%), and cardiovascular diseases (33%) predominate. All in all, they tenfold the risk of death from Covid-19. The US physician Dr. Robert Lustig: “SARS-CoV-2 does not differentiate who it infects. But it makes a difference who it kills. “
Obesity alone makes it many times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid-19. And it increases the risk of death, depending on the degree of obesity, by 3.7 to 12 times. What sight could be more ridiculous than that of a more wide-format than a portrait-format member of the government who doesn’t skip a camera to show a leaky face flap upstairs – and half a meter below one of the stately wombs in the republic? When will someone finally be found who will ultimately clarify this Corona knight of the sad figure: The belly fat he carries around with him gives him a thousand times higher risk of disease and mortality than his ridiculous hygiene textile spares him?
What makes people susceptible to Covid-19 are typical diseases of civilization that do not result from a lack of mouth and nose covers, disinfectants, and vaccines. Above all, poor nutrition and insufficient physical activity are responsible for this.
And so Johannes Ohnespahn would quickly have seen the light: To arm his people against pandemics, he has to promote health instead of the industries that make money when it is lost. He has to motivate those at risk to eat less and better:
- More raw vegetables, more freshly prepared foods.
- Less meat, sugar, industrial salt, and low-quality fats.
- No junk food, no soft drinks, no microwave food, no highly processed, industrially denatured convenience food.
Instead of China, Germany would have learned better from Mexico: In August, as a measure against the Covid-19 pandemic, several states decided to ban the sale of high-calorie packaged meals and sugar-sweetened beverages to minors. (4) Just a tentative, far too short step – but at least one in the right direction.
Instead of further increasing the incidence of armchairs and couch potatoes with curfews, quarantines, and home offices, instead of banning amateur and recreational sports, impotence would also encourage citizens to get their butts up much more often and to exercise themselves physically. In terms of absurdity, the PR campaign in which the federal government consistently hailed couch potatoes as “special heroes” of the pandemic can hardly be surpassed in absurdity. All those panicked obedience who increase their susceptibility to infection by primarily using their bodies for oral filling. Before fact-checkers step in, I hasten to clarify: a model citizen naturally also consumes calories while zapping on the remote control, swiping across displays, typing on keyboards.
What does the Berlin Panic Orchestra know about vitamin D and zinc?
A health minister who deserves this title would be equally interested in finding out how easily members of risk groups can prevent viral disease. Vitamins and trace elements support and improve the immune response. If there is no such thing, severe Covid 19 courses with a fatal outcome are more likely.
This connection was shown, for example, at low zinc levels.
A sufficient supply of magnesium and selenium is also essential.
A pronounced vitamin D deficiency also contributes to the fact that a SARS-CoV-2 infection makes you sick. (5) Low vitamin D levels double the chance of a positive PCR test, a US study of more than 190,000 Americans found.
25 to 50 milligrams of zinc, 1000 milligrams of vitamin C, 2000 units of vitamin D per day ensure highly effective prophylaxis against Covid-19, as has been shown in several studies.
Ohnespahn would be no less impressed by how highly effective naturopathy treats people if they contract Covid-19. Early use of the mentioned means saves the vast majority of those affected from severe disease, saves them hospital admission, and lowers their risk of death.
How highly effective vitamin D helps with Covid-19 has been shown in 41 studies up to December 2020, in which 359 scientists included a total of more than 6,700 patients. In Covid-19 patients who have already been hospitalized, high-dose vitamin D, with around 100,000 units per day, lowers the risk of intensive treatment by 96% and mortality by 80 to 89%. In a Spanish study with Covid 19 patients admitted to the hospital, every second person had to go to the intensive care unit without vitamin D. Still, only 2% of those treated with vitamin D. Also, in spring 2020, a study of very old residents of a French nursing home who were sick with Covid-19 found: Of those who received high-dose vitamin D once, 82.5% survived – compared to 44.4% in the comparison group without the corresponding vitamin D D gift.
According to US doctors, administration of zinc, together with correctly dosed hydroxychloroquine / HCQ (6), can reduce the rate of hospitalizations by 84%. In Covid-19 patients who are already in a clinic, low plasma zinc values below 50 mcg/dl increase the risk of death by 130%. On the other hand, high-dose zinc reduces their death rate by 45%. Her condition improves considerably within eight to twelve hours, and symptoms such as breathing difficulties subside quickly.
A treatment protocol that provides 75 to 150 mg of zinc per day has proven itself internationally; because in SARS-CoV-2, zinc inhibits the activity of the enzyme PNA polymerase and thus the replication of the virus. In addition, 1000 mg of vitamin C and 5000 units of vitamin D proved to be highly effective in the initial phase of Covid-19. (7)
Transferred to Germany’s official corona statistics, this would result for Johannes Ohnespahn: A little naturopathy, limited to zinc and vitamin D, would have resulted in the number of “Covid 19 deaths” if they are real, of currently 55,000 (as of January 28 .2021) can be reduced to a few thousand.
Phytotherapy could improve this rate even further. Extracts of the Artemisia annua plant are effective against SARS-CoV-2, as even a Max Planck Institute confirmed. Dozens of other medicinal plants have antiviral and immune-stimulating effects: elderberry to yarrow and masterwort to kunigunden herb. If you want to strengthen your body’s defenses, it is better to use it to prepare a tea or snip it into salads, mueslis, and soups instead of squatting in front of the TV with fearlessness.
Credible success reports that deserve intensive research are also piling up on using homeopathy and Ayurveda remedies against Covid-19. (8th)
Neither does it have to be explained to the unconscious how closely psyche and physique are related. A healthy, robust immune system results less from pharmaceutical innovations than from psychological factors. Love, sociability, and general joie de vivre, sufficient sleep, and less stress strengthen it. From an immunological point of view, nothing could be more counterproductive than forcing people to live an everyday life in which they worry and fear persistently, which makes them depressed, sad and tense, isolated and lonely. It was not “the virus,” but its mad, unconstitutional fight that exacerbated existing mental disorders and produced millions of additional chronically anxious and depressed people. Suicide rates are literally exploding – not only among caged home residents but especially among adolescents and young adults. (9) “Overload” is now more likely in psychiatric clinics than in intensive care units.
What if “immune system” were the name of an implant?
And so, this health minister would have seen the light early on. He doesn’t have to wait for a vaccine. And he does not have to tie his citizens’ face flaps, push chopsticks into their body orifices, lock them up in quarantine. Also, he does not have to close schools, shops, businesses, museums, stadiums, or restaurants. Instead, he just has to do one thing: do everything in his power to promote health awareness, to create incentives for healthy behavior. He doesn’t have to teach them to “take good care of each other” – they’ve always been able to do that with every flu epidemic. A fabulous education program could have been financed with the double-digit billion amount that the federal government is investing in untested, high-risk vaccines. And that tried and tested type of medicine, which had the decisive arguments and instructions ready for it, would rise – like a phoenix from the ashes under which the chief strategists of pharmaceutical marketing and their financiers have buried them in cold blood.
If “immune system” were the name of a patentable implant with which seven billion “unprotected” bodies would still have to be equipped: the medical industry would make a millennium out of it, any bet. Anyone who refused to undergo the procedure would be completely fine in quarantine, ideally forever. No syringe could save him. Any fact-checker would know that.
History is a series of missed opportunities. The phoenix lies deep under ashes instead of emerging from it. He gasps for air helplessly. It is uncertain whether he will survive the new normal of the 21st century.
