As a past surgeon for thirty seven years (37), I am a doctor who worked in the trenches in missionary work, in the operating rooms, in intensive care settings and outpatient care and realize that there is a discrepancy between medical doctors, like me, who see the day-to-day reality in management of acute medicine compared to doctors / research scientists in the policy making bureaucracies who do not manage patient care. The doctors in the trenches observer patients’ symptoms and signs and manage medical problems and find treatments from past experiences and change and adjust or fine tune treatments from observations of the clinical outcomes, whereas medical doctors in health bureaucracies search for science and medical research consensus which show validity and formulate a health policy. The Art and the Truth comes out when there is collaboration of the two extremes in solving complex problems. I share with you my thoughts in 2023 after the data collected from the last 2 years.

With the past COVID experience, we now know there are 3 distinct stages of infection.

1. The first phase is when you test positive for COVID and increasing the “viral load” in blood and have typical “Flu symptoms”, fatigue, arthritis joint pains and running nose and cough and that is when you need to implement a full intervention program below.

2. The second phase is the “cytokine storm” when you really feel sick and consider hospital admission where there is massive inflammation involving all organ involvement especially in the lining of all blood vessels (endothelium). You will notice that the oxygen saturation machine will indicate lower than 98% and therefore feeling “short of breath.”

3. The third phase is the final stage from autopsy data worldwide, when your body responds by “clots” (coagulopathy) after the cytokine storm which causes clots in all blood vessels, especially in the lungs. These are the reports you read about which is the last stage of total body organ failure and death.

It is the second and third phase that require hospitalization.

It is the first stage when COVID infection when viral load is building, when intervention is most important and useful.

Primary Prevention COVID test negative.

COVID positive test /or Flu symptoms – Secondary Prevention and intervention

1. If you Google “temperature and virus,” it is well known that all viruses cannot survive temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit or greater for over 40 minutes. My suggestion is to get into a sauna, or a steam bath set at 140 degrees and breathe the hot air for 40 minutes into nose and sinuses and mouth and throat which will kill viruses in those cavities and spaces. Even if breathing this very hot air does destroy all viruses, there is a good chance of destroying more each time you breathe that hot air into all oral and sinus cavities.

2. You can use nasal spray or rinse with povidone .50-1%, but I recommend a total facial sinus lavage including frontal sinus, maxillary sinus, sphenoid sinus, and Ethmoid sinus nasal lavage with Xlear Xylitol (alcohol sugar), few particles of sea salts, and squirts of Liquid oxygen daily. If sinus x-ray already shows fluid and inflammation add Budesdonide 243 topical steroid all will work. This practice should be done daily if you have a positive test for COVID.

3. Zinc lozenges and tablets have been around for “Flu or Colds,” and it can be zinc chloride, zinc oxide, zinc gluconate between 50 to 100mg every other day but you must have a zinc carrier or zinc ionophore. Quercetin a flavonoid at 2000mg, Azithromycin 200mg 2x per day, or Ivermectin 3mg to 12 mg maximally daily, or hydroxychloroquine 200 mg daily, or Clioquinol 50 to 100mg daily which has been a drug zinc ionophore used in the past for other medical problems (compounding pharmacy can provide this drug).

See the Peter McCoullough protocol below, azithromycin 250 mg twice per day.

COVID testing positive and recurrence of COVID viral infections and had multiple Vaccines- Tertiary prevention and intervention.

Unlike vaccines of the past, where an attenuated virus and bacteria (killed virus and bacteria) builds an antibody to that foreign protein, mRNA is a brand-new technology which uses a messenger RNA which correspond to a piece of the viral protein found in the outer virus membrane. The end- product is a foreign protein, and our bodies recognize that it is foreign and build antibodies against this new protein and destroy it. This form of recognition also produces what is called “Spike Proteins” which are difficult to eliminate. Further research is necessary to understand the consequences of this persistent spike protein and how it interacts with other molecules and organs in our body such as the heart muscle cell.

Dr. Peter McCoullough was one of the first to find an effective repurposed drugs the initial care of COVID patients. He looked at the clinical data worldwide (Korea, China, Italy etc.) and later all of Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America and used the protocol for his cohort of patients in Texas and later spread it to the world after all it was a worldwide pandemic and we in the United States could learn from other professionals internationally as it should be. He also looked at published autopsy data worldwide from Asia, Russia, and Germany etc. to better understand the disease infection patterns. His biggest contribution is the early treatment of viral COVID infection before Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the cytokine storm.
