    Two people can catch the same virus, or get the same shot, and come away with very different illnesses. One struggles with brain fog. Another develops heart rhythm changes or POTS. A third can barely get through the day. Dr. Joseph Varon opened this episode with the question every clinician treating these patients eventually faces: why?

    IMA has been working on that question for years. We built the I-RECOVER protocols for long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome and have pushed ever since for these conditions to be recognized.

    The I-RECOVER post-vaccine protocol states that treatment “must be individualized according to each patient’s presenting symptoms.” The hard part has always been knowing what to try first.

    That’s where this webinar’s guest comes in. Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen uses genomic testing to find which biological pathways are driving a patient’s symptoms, and in this episode she walks through four patients with the same diagnosis and four very different sets of drivers.

    While these are clearly very important goals, there is one way more important to many who mistakenly believed the government’s propaganda, the issue I’m talking about, is how to disable the ribosome’s endless production of spike, after 5 years, a change of government, and new leadership of the various health agencies, I have yet to hear anyone of prominence or expertise come up with anything resembling a solution to this problem.

    Here’s a thought for the experts, could it be as simple, as replicating the mRNA technology, with standard RNA (no spike) but using the same lipid coating until it gets into the cell, and starts replicating itself?

    It’s long past time this issue was resolved, Any thoughts gratefully accepted?

    An important article that prompts a return to traditional medicine.

    “Patients may have similar symptoms but different underlying drivers.”

    However, there is certainly much, that we cannot measure.

    Traditional medicine (TEM, TCM, Ayurveda) distinguishes between physical and psychological constitutions, as well as the associated predispositions to disease and modes of response to lifestyle, pathogens, and therapies. In traditional medicine, the therapy is adapted accordingly.

    “Evidence-based medicine” relies on statistics, taking into account only a few factors—often merely the “desired” ones rather than the entirety of the physical and psychological constitution and predisposition.

    Furthermore, the current system of medical specialization and sub-specialization has led to a fragmentation of responsibilities, resulting in a loss of the overall perspective on the disease process.

    Mainstream medicine keeps talking about individualized therapy—but what do they actually do?
