Just a reminder that Firefox does not support javascript by default and by enabling java on each page will often resolve the problem. I use a java management extension called noscript to manage java on each of my pages.

The most common question for vegans is “where do you get your protein from?” Most people assume based on their early education that protein comes from meat. But the evidence is that protein is available in most foods we eat. The one food that doesn’t contain protein is oil. So this is my standard response for people who are curious about vegans getting enough protein from just plants. I respond with the question where do almost every large land animal on the planet get their food from, including such animals as elephants, rhino, buffalo, hippos, bison, cattle, equines, and primates. In almost every case the primary source is vegetation of some sort, mainly grasses. Most vegetation is highly digestible by humans and provides a wide range and balance of macro and micro nutrients that our bodies need for optimum health. There is much debate in the field of nutrition about the dangers and benefits of animal based versus plant based diets. But if you look at the blue zone populations around the world, they have a large focus on the WFPB intake of foods. In many, if not most, legitimate studies comparing vegan diets with the typical SAD, vegans almost always come out on top in end results. It should be pointed out that vegan doesn’t just mean diet. Veganism is a lifestyle that includes many factors that can have an impact on health. However, the general view from the public is that vegan means just a strict vegetarian or plant based diet. This is my 35th year as a vegan and I am pretty healthy with none of the comorbidity problems that most people endure. I haven’t had any problems getting enough protein in my diet which is about 60% carbs, 20% protein, and 20% fat. I believe that eating a wide variety of WFPB foods is what is necessary to provide all the essential amino acids we need on a daily basis.

I am not a medical person but do have an analytical mind so take my comment with a grain of salt. I suspect that the rise in blood pressure may be due in large part to microclotting in tissue throughout the body. If you think about plumbing, open pipes have an easy ability to flow water. But if you put some sort of restriction in the pipe, it takes more pressure to achieve the same amount of flow volume through the pipe. You can see this when you open a faucet and the water dribbles out but as you continue to open the faucet more water will flow through at a faster rate. Our tissues require an even flow of blood to nourish each cell at a consistent rate. If we don’t get the right amount of nourishment, the tissue will die or at least be malnourished and not perform its function well. Microclotting has the affect of essentially restricting the amount of blood getting to tissue. I suspect that getting rid of the microclots will help to restore blood flow and reduce the pressure required to properly nourish our cells. That is my theory.

Please note that IVM is fat soluble and will be better absorbed if taken with a meal that has some fat in it. Here is a link to a PubMed article on multitargeted drug ivermectin … which goes into depth about cancer and IVM.

The multitargeted drug ivermectin: from an antiparasitic agent to a repositioned cancer drug - PMC
Drug repositioning is a highly studied alternative strategy to discover and develop anticancer drugs. This drug development approach identifies new indications for existing compounds. Ivermectin belongs to the group of avermectins (AVM), a series of ...

Unfortunately there are people in all societies that are anarchists and antisocial. They don’t believe in following the rules of society for whatever reason. It is just part of life. It is annoying.

I watched the Tucker interview several days ago and was impressed as always with the quality of the information provided by all of the IMA principals. This is an organization ahead of its time making an attempt to change a long standing monopoly in the medical field through Honest Medicine. Dr. Bowden is just one of the many impressive heroes that we have all come to know and love for their unselfish advocacy for patient’s rights.

I’m not a medical professional but I would think that with all those side effects that your body is telling you that LDN isn’t right for you. Have you tried the cancer protocol using IVM? The side effects are usually pretty mild, certainly not anything like what you are experiencing with LDN.

Here is a thought experiment for consideration. What if SC2 was a result of bioweapon research that got accidentally released to the world before it was fully functional to only impact non Chinese people? And isn’t it curious that it just so happens that mRNA vax technology was waiting for the right moment to be utilized to roll out to the world en masse. For those who are interested in world depopulation this was a perfect precursor to gauge how a biological agent could be put to good use to make an innocent claim that this is all just a product of nature. Wasn’t that the media/medical/governments proclamation? And the fly in the ointment was all those pesky clinicians and scientists promoting low cost prophylactics like HCQ and IVM and Vitamin D. It doesn’t surprise me that Dr. Shiong’s research would be part of the counter narrative that needed to be squelched as quickly as possible for the sake of all the money that big pharma was about to lose if their true nature was exposed. It’s always about the money.

I am hopeful that the new IMA Journal will become a respected vehicle for honest medical research and will eventually be seen as a comparable vessel of scientific research on a par with the current major publications. Perhaps a guest article in the next issue from the esteemed Dr Bhattacharya when help lend some legitimacy to the IMA Journal.

Contact IMA’s Senior Fellow Dr. Mumper. She most likely has all the related info you need.

No Dr. Kory is still part of IMA but he is focusing most of his energy on his medical practice at this time. It’s tough making a living in this hostile AMA environment when you are a contrarian. That is why the AMA monopoly must be challenged with another organization that is focused on “Honest Medicine.” I am hopeful for the day when IMA starts certification programs for specialized medical practices.

This would probably be a good place to start. https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html

I have been reading food labels for 35 years since adopting the vegan lifestyle. I try to avoid harmful ingredients by eating a predominantly WFPB diet. My other strategy is to make a lot of my own food, grow my own food, and minimize anything processed. I also try to avoid anything with bioengineered ingredients.

A lot depends on the conditions in which it is being stored. If you have it in a drawer or a hot area the chemicals will deteriorate to a certain extent over time. How much deterioration and time is unknown because I don’t believe anyone has actually done a study to find out. However, in general, if you have been storing them in a refrigerator or freezer you will slow down the deterioration process considerably. And if you stored them in a vacuum as well as cold, you will extend their useful life as well even longer. Again since there are no studies the exact amount of preservation is unknown. I would imagine that potency will reduce to a certain degree over time probably on a logarithmic scale. Under ideal conditions you can probably store the pills for up to 10 years with just a slight drop in potency, perhaps 10 to 20 percent. So I would say don’t worry too much about how effective they may be for quite awhile if you are storing them for long term use. I am not a pharmacist or chemist, so consider this an opinion rather than professional advice.

Let us all know how the IVM/Meb/Fen protocol works out for you. It is important feedback for all those who are dealing with various cancer treatments. I also remember Dr. Berkowitz stating that with LDN everything needs to be done slowly and methodically. A couple years ago I bought 200 LDN tabs of 1.5mg in anticipation of trying to resolve an irritating tinnitus condition that seemed to have started in 2020. Over time it seemed to resolve by itself so I didn’t use the LDN.
