It always amazes me when drug commercials rattle off all the potential side effects in their ads, many of which are worse than what the person is taking the drug for, that people would be open to taking these drugs.
When people will play the lottery hoping for a shot at being one in millions, can’t they see the odds of having the terrible side effects from these drugs is much greater than them striking it rich winning the lottery.
Here is a quote directly from CNN. “Pharmaceutical company Merck announced Monday it is discontinuing development of its Covid-19 vaccine candidates after early studies showed immune responses were inferior to natural infection and other Covid-19 vaccines.”
And from another source, “Merck said the decision followed data from a Phase 1 trial of its V590 and V591 vaccine candidates, which showed immune responses that were inferior to those seen in patients who were infected naturally, as well as those dosed by other COVID-19 vaccines. Merck said it will continue to develop its other coronavirus therapies, including its MK-7110, which received Emergency Use Authorization approval from the Food & Drug Administration late last year.”
When we continue to pursue chemical therapies over support of our bodies natural functions, we’re in for problems. Natural immunity is something our body is good at, provided we give it what it needs to function. This is why we see those promoting vitamins D and C, as well as immune strengtheners like zinc. These are just a small few that usually are depleted in today’s society.
All elements found in our body contribute to wellness. Sometimes we get more focused on one or two areas and over support them while ignoring the whole system. Trace minerals are those which aren’t in large concentrations like calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium. Some are so minimal they’ve taken years to be eventually realized as playing a major role in our health and life.
Minerals like chromium and vanadium don’t look all that impressive until we see insulin resistance and type two diabetes as a result of deficiency. The key which allows you to unlock your door or start your car may be small and insignificant until you finally need them, and can’t find them.
Modern agricultural practices have created soil conditions where the nitrogen fixers in the soil have been killed and the soil sterilized to the point the microorganisms are no longer viable to allow these minerals to be assimilated by plants. This is one reason why organic fruits and vegetables can be the difference between having these present or absent in your diet.
Because of this, I’ve relied heavily on things like Manganese B12 or Trace minerals B12 for patients who’ve displayed deficiencies in these areas. Manganese is a mineral which our bodies require, but only in trace amounts. This mineral is critical for the function of the pituitary as well as to strengthen cartilage and ligaments. Without it, we can have endocrine disruption as well as easily injured and degenerated joints. The rise in joint replacement is testimony of deficiency.
Minerals which aid in blood sugar balance like chromium and vanadium are found in mineral supports like Cataplex GTF. Often times, restoring these minerals is like finally discovering the missing key to unlock your sugar metabolism. Years of poor food choices can gradually strip these away.
When considering overall immune strength, each and every one of these elements play a role in prevention. As we’ve seen, diabetics are among the more susceptible when it comes to fatal outcomes from Covid. Since cellular metabolism is regulated by insulin’s ability to transport glucose into the cell, lacking these minerals opens the door to tragedy.
Zinc isn’t just for support of the immune system, but it’s critical for the production of bio-available insulin. This is just one area why zinc deficiency has been included as important in the defense against Covid. Zinc is one of the minerals found in the trace mineral and manganese product above. These I use for supporting endocrine function as well as immunity and structural integrity.
Obviously, our diet is primary in defense against any and all immune assaults. Depleted foods not only fail to provide these elements, but they rob the body of those contained in the cells of your body. Processed foods like sugar will, over time, strip these from your body.
