a reply to: rickymouse -- severe vaccine reactions have always been a possibility ... at least your medical records state
clearly that you have such a documented risk factor. The US National Library of Medicine includes a few reports on the anti-viral properties of
culinary fresh ginger. Probably the organic fresh ginger root has the most active ingredients. Since the onset of this pandemic, we always keep
fresh organic ginger in the house, which can be used in making curries, ginger cookies, etc. We also picked up some packs of Pep-Cid at a drugstore,
in case we start having symptoms.
In the OP of this thread, however, there was a statement concerning vaccines being able to totally prevent a particular disease. When the COVID-19
pandemic started, Dr. Fauci explained in a TV interview that a vaccine is accepted by the US FDA at a lower level (it was either at a 50%, 55% or 60%
level, something like that) and is still considered to be an effective vaccine. That's why his reaction to the initial results of the mRNA vaccine
tests of 90% - 95% efficacy was such great relief at those percentages. If so, the implication is that no vaccine can prevent any disease at the 100%
level.
The vaccine has protection of ninety to ninety five percent only of stopping an improper immune response that requires hospitalization or causes
death. Covid is equivalent to the flu or pneumonia causing sepsis. The virus is not covid 19, it can cause covid 19. The thing is that if you get
sepsis from pneumonia, and you test positive for the SARS-CoV2 virus, it is automatically called Covid 19 even if it is sepsis because you tested
positive. Quite a few people wind up in the hospital every year and a lot of old people die of Sepsis...so they have twisted things to make Covid 19
deaths look higher. Plus, the baby boomers are getting old now, and any virus can be a danger to them now. So more deaths is expected since so many
baby boomers are ripe for the picking.
They are twisting the data to blame these old people's deaths on this virus. I do know this virus is not a scam, it is very bad for people with
immune systems that are messed up whether from immune system blocker meds or from old age. I don't like the way they are twisting the evidence
though, I think that they are taking advantage of the large amounts of people over seventy to make the virus look worse and they are doing it to make
themselves look more important and to boost the money coming to their agencies from now on.
If an actual deadly virus does come along, people will believe that it is a scam once all this is over and the evidence of manipulation comes out. If
another dangerous virus comes along, evaluate it by reading real evidence to verify it is of concern.
Ginger builds my immune system too much, I use ginger brandy in my hot Toddies, and the chemical that is antiviral is in the ginger flavored
brandy...the flavoring is powdered dried ginger, it does lose some of the other properties ginger has by processing but retains much of it's antiviral
chemistry. We also boil ginger root to make a juice occasionally to add to things, much of those properties are also still active against viruses,
but again some are not heat stable. Because my immune system gets fired up with fresh ginger, I try to only use it occasionally. Some Ginger
chemistry protection is shared by other natural products too, and if you eat too much of one you could wind up with an inability to consume others.
Thiol chemistry is kind of picky if you get too much, thiols are sulfur chemistry and if you concentrate all of your immune system on using sulfur, it
also has a problem with deficiencies in processing nitrogen chemistries. There are many variables when evaluating this stuff, coenzymes and enzymes
in the body can do more than one thing quite often.
It takes a lot of research and evaluating to figure moderation so you can enjoy good health, fifteen years and I am only ten percent there since so
many foods share chemistry and enzymes needed for metabolism. I have heard the saying anything in moderation since I was young sixty years ago, I am
attempting to define moderation and it is not easy or quick, every day I have to read scientific articles and evaluate how what I learned fits into
what I already know.
I started this around fifteen years ago, got really into it about ten to eleven years ago. I figured at that time over ten years ago that it would
take over a year of full time research to figure everything out.....Boy did I underestimate the time it would take once I started evaluating how
things mesh together. I must have done eight or more years of over seven hours a day reading along with another three to four hours of thinking a day
trying to evaluate the articles I read. I did it seven days a week, and I even did reading on Christmas and Easter days most years. Now I have
gotten problems with my eyes from so much screen time in front of the LED monitor. Things are complex, there are so many variables to learn.
I am not going to do nearly as much research anymore...easier said than done since I am OCD.... But I already have done lots of research and in the
end, it does not matter, people aren't going to believe what I say because I do not have any degrees sitting on my wall and people want to keep eating
what they want and would rather take a pill or ten than give that up. People believe in medicines, but medicines are not needed most time if you know
natural ways to avoid being at risk of a disease or condition forming.
