Drugs Do Not Cure Diseases

 

Thank you, Violet, for this video. I have comment what this medical doctor, as well as many other doctors have also said previously here:

Thank you, Ms Violet Ho, for this video:

That was why I recently (Wednesday, April 5, 2023) wrote an article pertaining to my cervicalgia (neck pain) and my personal experience as a clinician here:

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2023/04/an-almost-instant-cure-for-neck-to.html

I wrote the above article to explain that Big Pharma is not interested in producing anything that gives a patient a permanent cure. They just want to make money by making sure the patient will have to   come back again and again for their same 'drug of choice' every other few month in his next doctor’s appointment.

Imagine it takes between 3–20 years at a cost of between several billion to tens of billions of US dollars to develop a single drug. Does any sensible right-thinking person believe after investing so much money just to get one drug out into the market, would any drug company want the patient to be permanently cured by using just one dose or by one application of their drug.  Of course not. If they do, the drug company, having invested so much money and time researching and developing it for a huge market, would go bankrupt overnight. They naturally want the patient to come back for more of the same drug during a series of non-stop doctor’s appointments so the drug can be prescribed over and over again.

That was why I wrote the above article in my blog to explain that Big Pharma is not interested in producing anything that gives a patient a permanent cure except to make huge profits.  

Here a story about The Town of Allopath that clearly explains this and everything:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZUPYZ2ICvU

In the first place all diseases have a root or multiple root causes. Diseases do not mysteriously appear by themselves without cause. There must be some causative agent triggering it. Unfortunately, when a patient goes to a doctor, especially for chronic conditions, their root causes are never looked into, and treated by the doctor.  Not all, but most doctors are only interested in prescribing some drugs produced by the big pharmaceutical industry to block the disease.

The chemical pathology of any disease or even in health is like a flowing river.  The body’s natural biochemistry in health or its pathological chemistry in disease is like the water from a flowing river. They come from a living body whether in health or in disease.  In health, clean water runs, and in diseased state, polluted water flows.

If we understand pharmacology, we will understand how drugs work (pharmacodynamics), how they are absorbed, distributed, retained, and excreted by the body – how the body responds to the drug (pharmacokinetics). The mode of action of most drugs is to disrupt the flow of polluted water (pathways of abnormal biochemistry / pathological chemistry) in the body.  This is easily done by using different types of blocking and inhibiting agents.

The objective of blockers and inhibitors is to inhibit the abnormal chemistry to prevent it from flowing. But the body even in disease is still a living body that will continue to flow its chemistry of life. As a result, the ‘polluted water’ is blocked and dammed up. When the built-up is full, it bursts its banks and gets diverted to somewhere else to create other problems to other organs and systems in the body. When other organs are affected, they pop up as another linked disorder. That is why diseases, especially lifestyle diseases are all linked. They just bounce up somewhere else if we block their pathological chemistry from taking their natural course.  

In health, a river flows clean and unpolluted water from its source. Then someone upstream throws rubbish such as excessive foods and food waste into the river due to his excessive eating as part of their lifestyles.  These are actually the root causes of all their chronic ills – throwing rubbish into their body through harmful dietary habits, smoking, sedentary life, environmental exposures and insults including the use of harmful chemicals, poor hygiene that encourages infections, etc, etc.

 The body water gets polluted (diseased) and flows downstream to the villages (systems of the body) far away. The villages are made of clusters of houses, each house representing an organ in the body. Each house (organ) has villagers living in it, the residents representing the cells in each organ.

When the polluted (diseased) water flows downstream, the entire village, houses and people living there get affected. The whole village gets sick. Then they go to see the allopathic drug-based doctor hoping to solve their problems.

The doctor comes with his Big Pharma drugs and products. He merely blocks the polluted water from flowing downstream to the villages using blockers and inhibitors.  The water gets dammed up at that point. It builds up and bursts its banks again and flows into another direction to pollute another village (another system / organ / cells). The whole body gets poisoned, both by the drug plus the polluted water that was never cleaned up through a change of dietary or other lifestyle modification.

But the doctor was merely blocking the polluted water from flowing, He was not cleaning up the rubbish from the source. That is far too far away for him. Neither is he interested. The easiest path for both the doctor and the patient to take is the path of the least resistance, that is, just blocking the diseased (polluted) water from reaching the houses and villages (Technically means: inhibiting the chemical pathology of the disease using specific or selective blockers)

But the water is still flowing continuously non-stop because the body is a living body flowing the chemistry of life (biochemistry) whether in health or in disease. We can block the flow of polluted water for one day or a little longer as long as we block it every day by taking the blocking agents (drugs), but not permanently. If we do not take the medicine regularly, the diseased water will continue to flow the next day because it is a living chemistry of life that continuously flows. If it stops flowing death ensues. But if we block it every day the water will dam up, break its bank and flow somewhere else, perhaps to other villages further down or elsewhere. But this is exactly what clinicians do using all those blockers and inhibitors produced by the Big Pharma boys.

But doctors do not produce these drugs. They are developed by scientists and researchers who are pharmaceutical and analytical chemists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, cellular biologists, toxicologists, physiologists and such specialists working in the pharmaceutical industry. After exhaustive studies and clinical trials by these teams of expertise over 10 -15 years, these drugs were then given to the doctors and pharmacists to use on their patients with strict instruction on how to use them.

They provide the clinicians and pharmacists information about their chemical formula, chemical structures, pharmacology (dynamics and kinetics), indications, dosage, toxicities, adverse reactions and contraindications, studies done, whether or not they can be used in pregnancy, breastfeeding, whether or not they can be used concomitantly with other drugs…etc, etc. These are clearly printed in the drug literature to explain and to educate the doctor and pharmacist how to use them before they prescribe and dispense them to the patient.

Unfortunately, when the problem was not solved, the drug given was titrated to a higher dose, or other blockers and inhibitors substituted or even added on to the previous ones. This makes the problem worse till the amount of medication the patient takes replaces his food. With each doctor’s appointment the patient begins with just a small purse to take home till.

Then the amount of medication given may or may not accumulate with each doctor’s appointment. Hopefully they stabilize. If more medications were given, the patient starts to bring in bigger and bigger bags to contain all those Big Pharma products the doctor prescribes for him / her till the patient starts to bring in grocery bags.

 Thus Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine advice “Let food be thy medicine” is replaced by Big Pharma slogan “Let medicine be thy food”.

I don’t think this is the correct way medicine should be practised. Unfortunately, this is the way it is currently being practised by allopathic doctors using harsh drugs, blockers, and inhibitors produced by Big Pharma and pharmaceutical industry. This practice is certainly not for lifestyle diseases. The root causes upstream of the river are never addressed and treated. Rubbish by polluters is still being thrown upstream at the source to flow downstream where the villages are. The polluters of the body are the patients themselves. We become sick not because we lack all those drugs given to us by doctors, but because of various causative agents, both from the environment externally, and endogenously with the body. They are the stressors that injure and insult the body. The body can respond and adapt beautifully and adequately short term, but not for prolonged extended periods when it will go into exhaustion. We call this General Adaptation Syndrome General (GAS) consisting of three stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, and (3) exhaustion. Alarm, fight or flight, is the immediate response of the body to stress. GAS is named after the Canadian physician and endocrinologist Hans Selye (1907–1982). Disease is not due to lack of all those drugs doctors prescribe.

There are now increasing numbers of doctors who too are happy about using drugs to treat every illness. When I was working at the Institute for Medical Research in the late 1960’s till 1994, a lot of my doctors’ colleagues told me that if they were sick, they would not use drugs to treat themselves, but they would look for some other non-pharmacological alternatives. But they will prescribe those synthetic chemical drugs for their patients, but not for themselves. We would normally talk about all these things in the department where we would be working as casual chit chats.

There were other medical specialists and clinicians too whom I know who told me the same. One very eminent university Professor of Medicine who was a very old friend of mine whom we have known since our college days told me he was very disappointed with his own medicine that did not cure him of his chronic illness and pain. He told me he went to get treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicine instead, which gave him so much relief and was so cheap compared to pharmaceutical-based medicine he was practicing.

I suppose each system has its strengths and weaknesses. Conventional drug-based medicine is excellent for the management of critical life-threatening events where fast acting and powerful drugs come in. It is also excellent in surgery where no other medicine can replace. Surgery can remove an obstruction within hours. No other system of medicine can do that or replace that. But unfortunately, allopathic medicine performs badly managing chronic illnesses. That’s where other alternative, integrative, complementary, traditional or native medicine come in. They perform much better by re-establishing the physiological and biochemical homeostasis within the body such as Yin and Yang theory and practices in Traditional Chinese Medicine instead of blocking the pathophysiology with harsh drugs.   

There is a book called “Drugs Do Not Cure Disease” written by Dr Yukie Niwa MD, PhD (Medicine) who is the Director of the Niwa Institute for Immunology in Tokyo, Japan. The book was published by Personal Care Co Ltd in 1999. Dr Niwa has published more than 70 papers in medical journals such as “Blood” and he is also on the adjudication panel of papers submitted to the international specialist journals such as “Biochemical Pharmacology”.  He is a strong advocate of using natural medicines. He gave a long list of dangerous new drugs and the reasons why they are dangerous used for medical treatment.

Of course, it is not true that drug-based medicines are bad and not advisable. We are talking here about using drugs to treat long-term chronic illnesses. Many drugs are lifesaving especially in a medical emergency, and I have highlighted this separately here:

Life-Saving Drugs in Medical Emergency:

 https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2023/03/life-saving-drugs-in-medical-emergency.html

Drug companies can ill-afford to compromise with the lives of patients who are critically ill. They just can’t come out with something that merely acts very slowly. They need to come out with many fast-acting drugs to stabilize haemodynamic or other critical physiological dynamics of the patient. So are many life-threatening infectious diseases including septicaemia that require to be promptly and aggressively treated with the appropriate antibiotics if not broad-spectrum antibiotics. But these are comparatively rarer than most chronic disorders like diabetes, cardiovascular, metabolic syndromes, cancers, asthma, to name a few.

But for all other non-acute, non-traumatic medical events ranging from cardiovascular, smoking, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and other chronic illnesses, I don’t think prescribing pharmaceutical drugs should be the first line management.

Of course, there are many other diseases that are neither life-threatening that require critical and intensive care.  Nor are simple conditions like occasional coughs, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. These resolve by themselves within one or two days even without any medication or treatment so long there were no serious underlying causes.

I think the approach in the practice of medicine should not solely rely on drugs without considering other alternatives, or better still, an integrated approach. One example on peptic ulcer disease among hundreds is this article:   

The Management of Chronic Diseases via Different Therapeutic Modalities with Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) as just one example here:

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-management-of-peptic-ulcer-disease.html

The main reason why public hospitals are always crowded with patients is not because of new patients with different diseases, but there were mainly old patients coming in for their appointments with the same illnesses for follow-up where they would be given the same medication or other add-on medication for them to continue to take.

Of course, there would also be new patients with the same or similar diseases, including new ones to add on to the existing ones. This causes a snow-ball effect with more and more patients, old and new coming to crowd the hospitals increasing the queue and waiting time.  

 I suppose there is nothing the doctor can do because they depend totally and entirely on what the pharmaceutical companies give and dictate to them. It is the pharmaceutical industry that produces all these drugs, not the doctor to delay a cure. It is they who brain-washed the doctors on their ‘drug of choice’ what to use and how to use their products so that their patients would come back again and again for more and more of the same medication plus add-on to other medication for life.  Unfortunately, the root causes at the source were never addressed and taught to the patient. They just want to promote and sell their products continuously. After all, they have spent anything from 3 to 15 years developing their products at a cost of US $ 10 -20 billion, and they are not going to let that go.

Health education, preventive medicine, nutrition, the practice of healthy lifestyles is by far, far better than any “curative” medicine.  This is the true and genuine medicine all doctors should know and need to prescribe first. This is the only way we can ensure the hospitals will not be crowded with patients coming in with chronic illnesses requiring the same treatment with the same or other drugs. It is a matter of educating the patient about the root causes and how the doctor can help the patient to manage the problem together.

Unfortunately, if they were to do that, then where would they get the money from the patients? Then both the pharmaceutical industry would not be able to sell anything to the clinician, and neither would the medical doctor have anything to give to the patient. Then both will be bankrupt. The patient has to continuously come back in the next appointment for the same drugs that do not cure any of their chronic illnesses.  

I think the whole health-care system, from the drug manufacturing industry to the clinicians who gave those drugs is a money-making industry.

Can Souls Escape from a Black Hole?

 

Thank you, Roy Ng for this new and interesting discovery:

 https://www.unilad.com/news/stephen-hawking-black-hole-paradox-solution-872368-20230402#:~:text=Stephen%20Hawking%27s%20famous%20black%20hole%20paradox%20looks%20to,updated%C2%A016%3A01%2C%C2%A002%20April%202023%20BST

According to Stephen Hawking this means that the leaking of this radiation would ultimately cause the black hole to completely evaporate, leaving a vacuum behind and causing a loss of information - this has come to be known as 'Hawking radiation'.

Hawking's research showed that black holes emit radiation — colloquially known as 'quantum hair' — in the form of thermal energy. Due to its thermal nature, this radiation isn't able to carry information about the stars that birthed the black holes.

These findings, however, are in contrast with the laws of quantum mechanics, stating that information cannot be destroyed and that an object’s final state can still retain clues about its origin, hence generating the paradox.

However, research from study authors Xavier Calmet, a professor of physics at the University of Sussex, and Steve Hsu, a professor of theoretical physics at Michigan State University, introduces a tweak to Hawking's calculations which would make the radiation 'non-thermal,' and thus capable of carrying information.

"Calmet and Hsu findings is the final nail in the coffin for the paradox because we now understand the exact physical phenomenon by which information escapes a decaying black hole," Calmet told Live Science.

He also noted how, according to the laws of quantum physics, information cannot be created nor destroyed, comparing the life of a black hole to a movie that 'could be rewound'.

"Starting from the radiation we should be able to rebuild the original black hole and then eventually the star," he continued.

Calmet and Hsu reassessed Hawking's theory factoring in the effects of 'quantum gravity,' that is the description of gravity according to the principles of quantum mechanics.

"While these quantum gravitational corrections are minuscule, they are crucial for black hole evaporation," Calmet explained”.

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light or other electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape its event horizon.

The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. The boundary of no escape is called the event horizon. Although it has a great effect on the fate and circumstances of an object crossing it, it has no locally detectable features according to general relativity. In many ways, a black hole acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light. Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature is of the order of billionths of a kelvin for stellar black holes, making it essentially impossible to observe directly.

Inside a black hole, the gravity is so powerful that nothing, not even light can escape. Light made up of photons has no mass, but energy. Its energy is so weak compared with the force of gravity within the event horizon of a black hole that makes it impossible for light to escape. However, light is made up of photons.

Photons are the smallest units of light that have no mass. But according to Einstein mass and energy are interrelated as shown by his famous equation E = mcwhere its mass (m)   multiplied by the square of the speed of light = energy emitted. Hence my personal feeling is, light consisting of photos may have mass after all, but they are so small that their mass can never be detected or measured. We may say that the energy of light and its mass no matter how small exist together as relativistic mass.

 In such a case light that has very weak energy and even far weaker mass would never be able to escape the horrendously powerful clutches of gravity inside a black hole up to the radius of the event horizon.

But what about the soul of a dead person that has neither mass nor energy?  Because of its absence of both mass and energy it can never be detected let alone measured by scientists using any instrument. Soul is the living spirit of a living person that leaves the physical body on death of the physical body, and in no way can a soul be detected or measured by any science that we know of.  I have often said that the entire heavens (as religions call them but is called the Universe by science) can be destroyed, but not the soul that lives on for all eternity.

Using logic, I have just described that the soul that has neither mass nor energy, would be able to enter into any black hole and leave it at any time without being affected by any gravitation field and without being detected.  

This tallies with what was written in Revelation in the Bible that tells us heavens and earth and all the works there in will be destroyed in fervent heat as described here:

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).

I only partially agree with Stephen Hawking that information about the origin and birth of stars and black holes will be destroyed, and the thermal radiation (Hawking’s radiation) emitted will not carry any information about the previous birth of stars which to me also means previous heavens and earth.

But I strongly believe this does not apply to the soul that is immortal because souls are not thermal or heat radiations. Neither are souls Hawking’s radiation remains. It applies only to the physical body of those who have died. They too will not be remembered as given in these three verses:

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind (Isaiah 65:17)

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea" (Revelation 21).

However, when a new heaven and earth is created after the present one is destroyed, we can still see the souls of those who have died in the vision of a new heaven and earth.  Some, not all the souls, would be transferred there to the new earth as clearly foretold here:

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" (Revelation 20:4).

As already explained, the souls of the dead are not thermal radiation, and hence they can still carry information about themselves, and they can remember all their past events.

Thus, I fully agree with Professor Xavier Calmet and Professor Steve Hsu who both said that some information remains even if the entire universe and black holes are destroyed.

Calmet and Hsu noted how, according to the laws of quantum physics, information cannot be created nor destroyed, comparing the life of a black hole to a movie that 'could be rewound'. So is the immortal soul whose life experiences can be rewound and recalled.

This means after a series of birth and rebirth of new heavens and earths it would be like a rewound movie as Calmet and Hsu mentioned after they recalculated Steven Hawking’s theory. So are the souls that are immortal that remember all the information of their past lives.

This was what I have also written many times about the immortal soul, the recycling of the entire Universe together with the recycling of birth and death through their eternal souls in my blog articles.

This shows how new scientific discoveries can be in tandem with what is revealed in the Bible.

Unfortunately, a lot of scientists are spiritually blind to this as they only can see and measure objects that are material and physical including light they can see or heat they can feel, or measure with a thermometer.

The Management of Chronic Diseases via Different Therapeutic Modalities with Peptic Ulcer Disease as an Example


Following two experiences I published here in this blog only last night, a few hours ago on my chronic neck pains and how I managed it with almost instant relief without the use of drugs, and analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) here: 


A https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2023/04/an-almost-instant-cure-for-neck-to.htmln 

 I promised I would produce two different opinions on how peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is managed.


The first part is how a medical doctor who depends solely on conventional drug-based medicine to treat PUD looks at it, and the second part also by a medical doctor who uses an integrated approach in medicine to much better improve the therapeutic outcome in the management of PUD.

This is also to compare two different systems of medicine: one a more broad-spectrum, more holistic approach using natural and or a more integrated therapeutic modalities combined in the practice of medicine.

 https://www.tiktok.com/@natsolphc/video/7138152476045266219

There is also another video presentation by Dr. Peter Glidden sent to me by a medical colleague and friend of mine on conventional drug-based allopathic medicine.  

https://www.bitchute.com/video/e7JzINEL47ov/

However, I need to stress that all systems of medicine have their strengths and shortcomings. For instance, I need to emphasize that a lot of drugs used in emergency situations and for the management of acute and life-threatening diseases are absolutely necessary and lifesaving. For example about emergency drugs I wrote here published on Saturday, March 4, 2023.

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=emergency+drugs

Unfortunately drug-based conventional treatment for most chronic diseases, especially lifestyle diseases failed miserably with an integrated approach where the root causes need to be first addressed and the patient needs to be educated.

There are of course tens of hundreds of diseases that we need to discuss and write here, but this would run into dozens of volumes of textbooks on medicine, and alternative / complementary medicine each volume containing at least 1,500 pages. This is far, far beyond the scope of this article from the views of two MD doctors who would best write all of them separately. We will only reproduce two views, one using just solely drug-based approach, and the other using a more holistic and integrated approach on the management of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).


Part One: 

Petic Ulcer Disease. A Drug-based Approach: 

  

Petic ulcers disease (PUD) are mucosal defects in the in the gastroduodenal mucosa whose regenerative properties have been overcome by increased hydrochloric acid production or prostaglandin depletion by Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Risk factors include cigarette use, alcoholism, NSAID use, familial history, gastric outlet obstruction, infection with Helicobacter pylori, CPD, hepatic cirrhosis, and renal failure.

Clinical features:

Peptic ulcer disease classically presents with burning epigastric pain 1 to 3 hours after meal, often awakening the patient at night. Although the patient may relate relief with food, more classical is relief with antacids or vomiting. Elderly patients or those using NSAIDs tend to have less pain associated with their ulcers. History may provide confirming clues, such as tobacco use, NSAIDs or alcohol consumption, or familial predisposition to ulcers.

A history of frequent vomiting, weight loss, early satiety, or nausea should suggest gastric outlet obstruction. Hemodynamic instability, hematemesis or melena all confirm hemorrhagic complications. Although bleeding is not common, perforation will usually present with severe pain or peritoneal signs.

 Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis:

Typically, the diagnosis of peptic ulcer disorder is based on history and examination. The patient may have very mild epigastric tenderness. A succussion splash in the presence of excessive vomiting suggests gastric outlet obstruction. Directed laboratory work may confirm associated illness and can include blood cell count, creatinine, and calcium. Rectal examination and possible nasogastric aspiration may aid in diagnosing bleeding complications. in the presence of bleeding complications. In the presence of bleeding, one should consider clotting studies and, perhaps, liver function tests. A nasogastric tube may aid in the diagnosis of perforation by allowing the instillation of 250 ml air prior to an upright chest radiograph, specifically checking for air under the diaphragm. Definitive diagnosis of peptic ulcer disorder can only be made with an GI series using barium or by gastro endoscopy through direct vision, such tests can be reserved for patients with severe pain or bleeding. Serological tests for H. pylori and a serum gastrin may be useful in cases of persistent or recurrent peptic ulcer.

Many disorders can mimic peptic ulcers in pattern and location of pain. Pancreatitis is usually associated with worse pain and more commonly radiates to the back. With gastroesophageal reflux the patient may relate positional pain originating substernally.   Clues to biliary colic include a history of fatty food intolerance rather than pain with food in middle-aged obese females. The most serious diagnosis confused with peptic ulcer is myocardial ischemia or infarction, which should be considered in any patient over 40 or with cardiac risk factors.

Conventinal Management:

Treatment is primarily done on an outpatient basis unless complications exist.

  1. Pain can be relieved with liquid antacids such as aluminum hydroxide gel, 30 – 60 ml to be continued 1 hour and 3 hours after each meal, and at bedtime.
  2. Peptic ulcers are most conveniently treated with H2 receptor antagonists such as cimetidine, 300 mg IV or 400 mg po bid, ranitidine, 50 mg IV or 150 mg po bid; famotidine, 20 mg IV or 40 mg po qhs (; and nizatidine, 150 to 300 mg po qhs. More recently the use of proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole, Esomeprazole (Nexium) is indicated for persistent peptic ulcers. This works by blocking an enzyme called H+/K+ ATPase to inhibit the production of acid in the stomach. Sucralfate and misoprostol are secondary drugs that may be considered.
  3. Dietary modification should be the mainstay of the treatment.

 with the avoidance of caffeine, alcohol, and NSAIDs.

 Patients who demonstrate any complication of peptic ulcer disorders should be stabilized and admitted to a hospital. For haemorrhage, this includes intravenous fluids (RL or NS) with packed red blood cells (PRBC’s) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) as clinically indicated. Gastric lavage with room temperature water will help assess extent of bleeding and prepare the patient for both diagnostic and therapeutic gastro-endoscopy. Perforation requires nasogastric suction, broad-spectrum antibiotics, KIV surgical intervention. Pyloric stenosis requires correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, with referral for surgical management.


Part Two: 

An Integrative Medical Approach for PUD: Nutrition and Other Therapeutic Modalities : 


Pathophysiology:

PUD is one of the most common diseases clinicians see regularly. Many of them are undiagnosed. PUD is caused by disturbances in the gastrointestinal mucosa. These disturbances are due to the loss of protective elements and / or damaging insults that result in mucosal erosions, most commonly located in the duodenum or stomach. People with PUD commonly complain of epigastric pain particularly a few hours after meals, bloating, nausea, early satiety, altered bowel habits and heartburns.

Pain is usually improved with food or antacids. PUD may also occur without symptoms, particularly in older adults. Peptic ulcers may cause GI bleeding, which is a potentially life-threatening emergency necessitating urgent endoscopy and intensive care unit consideration. Ulcers may rarely perforate leading to intense pain and acute peritonitis, which is a surgical emergency. Patients with significant weight loss and PUD symptoms should undergo endoscopy to investigate potential malignant diseases.

The loss of gastrointestinal mucosal integrity is typically multifactorial, with diminished protective elements predominantly decreased acid buffering, reduced immune system functioning, and slowed wound healing. And insults primarily Helicobacter pylori infection, the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), increased acidity, and inflammation. Treatment efforts are focussed on restoring protective factors and reducing harmful affronts.

 Peptic ulcers may occur at any time in life, although the incidence gradually increases with age. In the early twentieth century, PUD was diagnosed in men at twice the rate as in women. However, PUD is now nearly equally distributed between genders, although gastric ulcers tend to be more common in women and duodenal ulcers more common in men.

 Historically, investigators were aware that smoking, stress, use of NSAIDs, caffeine, and family history increases risk three times with an afflicted first-degree relative contributing to peptic ulcer formation. However, prior to the late 1970s, allopathic medicine (as already discussed above) had limited success in treating PUD until the arrival of two revolutionary developments: the intervention of pharmaceuticals that reduced the amounts of acids the stomach produced such as the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole / Esomeprazole (Nexium) as already discussed above, and the discovery of the Heliobacter pylori bacterium.

 The development of gastric acid-suppressing medications, with the advent of histamine-2 receptors antagonists (H2 blockers) in the late 1970s and proton pump inhibitors in the 1980s heralded a new chapter in conventional allopathic treatment of PUD. Previous efforts had focussed on reducing risk factors, administering acid buffers such as calcium carbonate for symptom relief, and surgery associated with significant morbidity and mortality. With the invention and administration of acid-reducing medication, the majority of the cases of PUD are quickly attenuated. The approach has drastically reduced the need of surgery and the increased the role of pharmaceuticals in PUD therapy.

 H. pylori was identified in 1982, a discovery for which Dr J. Robin Warren and Dr Barry J. Marshell won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2005. The more the medical world learns about this unique bacterium, the more our thinking about PUD treatment evolves. H. pylori infection has been shown to increase the incidence of PUD by at least four-fold. Rates of H. pylori infection vary worldwide according to age and economic status. Younger, more affluent individuals have rates as low as 20 %, whereas up to 60 % of all individuals in the developing world, and 50 % of individuals older than 60 years are colonized by this bacterium. Living in harsh acidic environment of the human stomach, H. pylori appears to increase the risk of PUD by directly damaging the protective mucus lining of the GI tract and allowing for increased acidic damage. H. pylori also triggers an immune response that causes damaging inflammation. Besides PUD, H. pylori has been linked to increased rates of gastric cancer, dyspepsia, vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, and idiopathic thrombocytopenia (ITP). H. pylori may not be without benefits, with some studies indicating a correlation between H. pylori colonization and decreased rates of asthma, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD), obesity, and oesophageal cancer. Whether H. pylori is predominantly a symbiotic bacterium that has been with humanity for millions of years, occasionally running amok and causing PUD and stomach cancer, or strictly a pathogen that has an increasing niche in the modern world warranting global. The pending answer to this question will likely guide approaches to PUD treatment in the decades to come. 

 Although there have been promising H. pylori vaccines studies in animal models, indicating vaccines may eventually become the most powerful tool for treating PUD, successful clinical vaccine trials have yet to be reported. Even with a potential vaccine, complete global eradication of H. pylori is logistically challenging, despite H. pylori exclusively residing in humans, because there are currently an estimated 5 billion people infected worldwide.  Further, only 10 % to 20 % of H. pylori-infected

 Individuals develop PUD. Thus, current treatment screening of asymptomatic individuals for H. pylori is not advised. H. pylori and NSAIDs, in combination with other risk factors, account for the majority of the cases of PUD. The remaining cases are attributable to other independent risk factors and a few clinical “zebras”, such as Zollinger-Ellison tumours, carcinoid syndrome, other drugs, radiation, cytomegalovirus, and systemic mastocytosis.

 Pharmaceutical acid suppression, the discovery and subsequent antibiotic treatment of H. pylori, resulted in optimism that PUD was on the verge of elimination at the end of the 21st century. However, due to increasing antibiotic resistance, increasing knowledge of the harm of long-term pharmaceutical acid suppression, in addition to evidence of the potential benefits of H. pylori infection, there is now a requirement for more judicious use of antibiotics and the incorporation of more integrative approaches to PUD management in the years and decades ahead.

Diagnosis:

The overlapping constellation of PUD symptoms with other diseases, such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Crohn’s disease, pancreatitis, gallstones, and malignancy, makes the initial diagnosis of PUD challenging, particularly because endoscopy which is invasive and expensive for current standard diagnostic testing. The next best tool is the barium GI series that has radiation risk, cost and potential inaccuracy. A study reported that the physical examination finding of epigastric tenderness decreases the likelihood of PUD. Thus, it is not surprising that many clinicians, and patients without signs of serious disease such as bleeding or weight loss, hesitate in electing to pursue these invasive diagnostic measures. Accordingly, the majority of PUD may never be diagnosed with certainty. H. pylori testing in symptomatic patients increases the number of people diagnosed with H. pylori infection, but a positive test result indicates only a bacterial infection and cannot differentiate between conditions such as gastritis and more serious PUD. although initial management is largely the same. There are various tests for H. pylori, but the stool antigen and urea breath tests are consistently the best for determining active infection.

Once a diagnosis of PUD is established, recurrence is reported in up to 74 % of patients. PUD management therefore focuses on the prevention and symptomatic treatment, a good fit for an integrative approach in medicine not just using pharmaceuticals.

 Dietary constituents were linked to PUD long before the discovery of H. pylori infection. Accordingly, nutrition is considered a key component of ulcer prevention and symptom management.

Meal timing influences PUD, with skipping breakfast and consuming large meals shortly before bedtime shown to increase the risk of PUD.

Fruits and vegetable intake reduces the risk of developing ulcers, with epidemiological studies demonstrating that a diet high in plant-based fiber and vitamin A, especially carrots, spinach, mango, sweet potatoes, and apricots helps protect against PUD. Flavonoids, compounds found throughout the plant kingdom have been found to be protective against H. pylori infection and are present in concentrated amounts in citrus, berries, onions, parsley, green tea, red wine, and dark chocolate. Sulforaphanes, which are phytochemicals found in vegetables such as brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, turnips, and radishes, are also protective against H. pylori infection.

Studies have specifically shown that virgin olive oil (30 g daily for 2 weeks) or broccoli (70 g a day for 8 weeks) have the ability to decrease and potentially eliminate H. pylori. Foods containing capsaicin (chili) have been shown to be protective against ulcers. Other common foods demonstrating protective effects against P. pylori include banana, honey, garlic, ginger, okra, pomegranate, and apple. There is likely a synergy in consuming combinations of these beneficial foods as ‘let food be thy medicine’.

However, milk increases PUD risk, likely due to the increased stimulation of acid production. However, fermented milk products such as yogurt, aged cheese, and sauerkraut that have probiotics have been demonstrated to have a protective action against H. pylori. Although there is no evidence that caffeine and coffee are risk factors for PUD, the evidence is lacking, although there are risk factors for reflux disease.

Physical Activity:

Numerous studies have shown that regular exercise and physical activities compared to sedentary lifestyles is more protective against PUD One study particularly showed that the risk of duodenal ulcers was 62 % less in men who cumulatively walked or ran more than 10 miles a week. Routine exercise should be recommended for almost all patients, especially those who have a previous history of PUD.

Stress Reduction:

The relationship between stress and PUD is a classic example of the need for clinicians to keep in mind the social determinants of health, over which our patients have varying degrees of control. Stress is largely a product of the social and environmental milieu, and convincing evidence indicates that stress plays a role in PUD. It is well known that people with stressful jobs such as directors, managers, executives, doctors among others are more prone to suffer from PUD than others. When the discovery of H. pylori linked to PUD was discovered they dismissed stress as one of the causes by putting this bacterium solely to be blamed. However, immunologists know that stress compromises the immune system by allowing the H. pylori and other infectious agents to take hold. The connection between stress and PUD is established early in life. Childhood stress in the form of traumatic events, such as an illness or death in a family, financial strains, or family conflict and relationship is shown to be associated with nearly 50 % higher rates of PUD in adulthood. Studies have also shown that the GI ulceration increases with both chronic stress and in times of acute stress, such as during an earthquake or war. A multipronged approach to stress reduction, in comparison with any single method, appears to provide more protection against PUD. As a clinician, recommending individually tailored stress reduction programmes, including yoga, tai chi, meditation and other coordinated movements inclusive of focussed breathing and any other culturally applicable relation techniques will likely be beneficial.

Sleep:

Inadequate sleep is a risk factor for PUD, likely the result of increased stress levels causing immune dysfunction and impaired lifestyle decisions. Maintaining good sleep hygiene is an important component of ulcer avoidance.

Cigarette Smoking:

Smoking increases rates of PUD up to four times when compared with non-smokers, likely due to decreased wound healing. According, smoking cessation is essential in addressing PUD.

Alcohol Avoidance or in Moderation:

Alcohol in large amounts has also been shown to be linked to PUD, probably due to mucosal damage. One epidemiological study showed that those who consumed more than 42 drinks per week had a greater than four-fold increase in the incidence of bleeding ulcers compared to those who consumed one or less than one drink per week. However red wine was reported to be protective against H. pylori infection possibly due to the presence of bioactive substances such as flavonoids. Avoidance of alcohol especially in high doses and in frequency is prudent for those with a history of PUD or its symptoms whereas a moderate consumption of red wine may be useful.

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs:

There is evidence that the use of NSAIDs increases the risk of PUD by up to 5 times and the risk of bleeding ulcers associated with conformed PUD up to five times also. NSAIDs inhibits prostaglandin production, and such an event compromises the protective muco-protective coats in the GI tract. However, there is evidence that medications such as sucralfate or misoprostol together with NSAIDs can relieve the symptoms of PUD and prevent its recurrence NSAIDs should be avoided as much as possible in patients with PUD or with patients with a history of PUD. However more than 80 % of patients on NSAIDs never develop PUD and may not be necessarily harmful to those with asymptomatic PUD or with a history of peptic ulcers. 

Nutritional Supplements:

Certain useful microorganisms have been shown to be useful in the management of PUD. The use of probiotics for instance, has been shown to decrease the recurrence of peptic ulcers. There is a straight-line correlation between higher intake of probiotics and lower incidences of H. pylori infection. Its mechanism is unclear, probably due to increased GI mucus production, competition for mucosal binding sites as bacterial competitors and the production of compounds unsuitable for H. pylori. Results of studies in animal models showed probiotics decrease the inflammatory response to H. pylori. The majority of the studies were conducted using Lactobacillus strains commonly found in yoghurt but other strains of probiotics are also useful. We believe that the incorporation of yogurt and other probiotic rich foods regularly into the diet may be useful in PUD prevention and its recurrence. Many clinical studies have confirmed that probiotics like Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces boulardii have synergy with antibiotic therapy for H. pylori eradication and can decrease antibiotic-related side effects such as diarrhoea, bloating nausea and abdominal pains. There are some evidences showing probiotics alone with antibiotics can improve PUD symptoms and perhaps suppress or eradicate H. pylori infection

Vitamin C:

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid has also been shown to have an effect on the eradication of H. pylori. There is one study demonstrating a 10 % eradication rate with 2 weeks daily dose of 1000 mg of vitamin C. Additionally, vitamin C enhances the effect of antibiotics regimens against H. pylori eradication. This has been shown in at least two studies. There was a 5-year Japanese study demonstrating lower rates of PUD in groups taking vitamin C supplementation. A constant intake of dietary intake of vitamin C is recommended for individuals with symptoms of PUD, a previous history or family history of PUD, or other risk factors associated with PUD,

Zinc:

A clinical trial has reported zinc accelerates the healing of peptic ulcers up to three times compared to placebo groups. This observation was strengthened in animal model studies. The role of zinc may be due to its ability to enhance tissue repair. Zinc supplementation has been used in Europe and East Asia among other countries for PUD and was found to be effective in numerous other studies.

There are also many other nutrients and nutritional adjuncts such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, glutamine, as well as botanical medicines such as Curcuma longa (turmeric), De glycyrrhizinate  Liquorice  (Glycyrrhiza glabra), mastic (Pistacia lentiscus), cabbage (Brassica oleracea), chili (Capsaicin), cranberry (Vaccinium  oxycoccos), neem (Azadirachta indica) and hundreds of other botanical medicines among them just to name a few more like peppermint, wormwood, cinnamon, chamomile, gingko, nutmeg, hops, sage, green tea, red ginseng. Aloe, fenugreek, and mugwort among many, many more far too long to list them here, let alone discuss their scientific studies, mode of action in phytotherapy (pharmacognosy) and their therapeutic role in the prevention and relief of symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.  

Conventional approaches use acid-suppressing drugs, antacids, sucralfate.

Others: 

Other alternative / complementary medicine against PUD includes acupuncture, massage, Traditional Chinese Medicine and osteopathy.

An Almost Instant Cure for a Neck to Shoulder Pain: My Personal Experience as a Clinician

 I have had this terrible dull pain over my right neck radiating down my right arm over the last 2 days. I just could not sleep, sit, stand, eat or bathe with that pain. I just did not know what to do. 

Of course, I may be able to get a false sense of "cure" or relief by taking paracetamol or tramadol or any of those opioid medications. I avoided all those stuff.  I tried to massage my neck and right shoulder and strike the areas with a patella hammer (the ones doctors use to elicit and test tendon and Babinski reflexes and other neurological assessments). I had little results to relieve my pain.

I had the same problem for some 6 or 8 months about 3 or 4 years ago, and suddenly I remembered I did something to myself that gave me tremendous relief within just 2 days, but I could not recall the therapy I instituted on myself.  Then when I was massaging the pain with a patella hammer 2 hours ago, suddenly I remembered. 

All I did then was to loosen the compression of a cranial nerve over the neck to shoulder areas by merely exercising my neck, titling it left and right, forwards and backwards, and rotating my head clockwise, then anticlockwise, keeping the various positions and angles there for a few minutes, then repeat the movement exercises. 


Then I found  if I tilted my head towards the right shoulder where the pain was, and also bent my head forwards the right, the relief was much greater. It only shows the compression of one of my neck vertebrae over one of the cranial nerves (possibly the 4th CN) where there is a cross over from left to right, and right to left after emerging from the base of the skull. It may have jarred opened the compression on the left to give relief over the right side. I could clearly hear and feel the crepitus (cracking sounds) of the cervical vertebral bones rubbing as I excerise my neck 


Now after just 30 minutes of this very simple osteopathic exercises to jar open and to loosen a bone-nerve compression over my neck, I got so much, much, more relief now with only residue pain (score of only 1 or 2 on a pain score from 0 -10. The pain before this simple neck exercise  was 6 -7 on the pain score).


If I go and see a neurologist or an orthopaedic surgeon, they will tell me I need an operation for this. They may suggest the use of invasive, expensive, harmful and needless procedures, or if I go to any other medical doctor, those chaps will start giving me all sorts of analgesics and even NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). 


Then not only my neck pain will never go away, but I will end up with PUD (peptic ulcer disease) with all those NSAIDs that never cures anything but only add on to another pain of gastric ulcers.


Now as I type this to share my experience on pain management without drugs or surgery, even my minimal residue pain is now almost gone after two sleepless nights of pain. I instantly relieved it with just 30 minutes of neck physiotherapy.

 

This is  the beauty of non-pharmaceutical, alternative, osteopathic medicine over Big Pharma medicine that does not cure anything except suppress or control the biochemical pathology of a chronic disease for a short time. After taking all those drugs, I need to make another appointment with the doctor again  in 3 months’ time for exactly the same medicine to suppress the symptoms and presentations of a disease, especially in lifestyle diseases like my neck problem probably caused  by me sitting down and playing with my smart phone all day long by bending down down. Where can we find a ‘cure’ for this lifestyle neck pain disorder by using petroleum-derived synthetic chemical medicine? 

This gives me an idea for me to write a good article on PUD using conventional allopathic medical approaches with antacids and PPI (proton-pump inhibitors) and compare it with an integrated holistic approach. 


In conventional medicine, everything and every prescription we must use inhibitors, merely to inhibit and block a chemical pathology like blocking off a living and flowing chemistry of life, health and disease. 


All I have learnt in my pharmacology in university are all those inhibitors and blockers such as ACE inhibitors, alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, calcium channel blockers (inhibitors) alpha blockers, competitive and non-competitive inhibitors, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, selective and non-selective inhibitors, adrenaline uptake inhibitors, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors…and thousands more of all these inhibitors and blockers  produced by all  those Big Pharma that never cures anything. These products are given to the doctors as "a drug of choice" to 'cure' a chenmical pathology by inhibiting a flowing chemical pathology in a living body that naturally constantly flows its biochemical course through a pathway like waters through a river. How is it possible to permanently stop the flow of water using some kind of a blocker or dam. Naturally the water will take another pathway. 

The pharmacodynamics (mode or mechanisms of action) of most of these drugs works by blocking or inhibiting the flow of pathological chemistry at cellular activities and molecular levels. But for how long can we block their flow because root causes causing their flow is never blocked? We are only blocking them downstream but never at their sources.

By blocking or inhibiting their natural flow, the polluted (diseased) water will be diverted somewhere else to cause problems for another organ. That’s why all these lifestyles chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, hypertension, stroke,  endocrinal and metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes , obesity, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD), Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, gout…etc are all linked for which more and more other drugs and inhibitors need to be added, titrated to higher and higher doses, or changed to other blockers because none of them was cured 

That’s why all the patients with chronic diseases treated with all these inhibitors  need to come back again and again in the next appointment for more of all these biochemical blockers called “medicines” to be titrated at higher and higher doses that never cures any of them.Naturally the Big Pharma does not want to produce a product that permanently cures a chronic diseases as they will be bankrupt if they do having spent US $ 10 billion over 15 years just to produce a drug that permanently cure a condition with only one application. They naturally want the patient to conmtinue to use their products as the drug of choice till death do them part. Doctors could do nothing about this as they depend solely on pharmacuticals to treat. Doctors do not produce these products or do they use botanicals or nutritionals  Even for anesthesia and surgery they need drugs.  


All those patients who crowd the hospitals are not new patients with new diseases. They were not patients who got permanently 'cure' with pharmaceuticals of inhibitors, but they are the same patients with their chronic illnesses who came to refill their medicines each appointment. That is one of the reasons why hospitals are overcrowded, actually by the same old patients 


The root causes of diseases and pain were never taught to the patients and how best to remove and address them except giving them prescription after prescription of the same inhibitors and chemical blockers. I feel sorry for being taught like that myself. Health education and preventive medicine are always the best medicine over 'curative' medicine. There is nothing like it.


When Jesus was here over 2,000 years ago He never asked the sick, lame, blind, paralyzed or the lepers who approached Him to first go for x-rays, CT and MRI scans, ultrasound and take blood and urine tests.  or even biopsies  then come back in 3 months’ time to take “medicines, blockers and inhibitors, and come back in 3 months’ time for the next appointment for the same inhibitors. His system of medicine was a million light years away from ours by just a single touch of His hand or just a word from His mouth. How did Jesus do it? Ask ourselves this question, especially if we are medical doctors.

Adversed Events Post Covid-19 Vaccination

 

 

I have received tens of hundreds, in fact thousands of reports from friends, ex-medical colleagues and doctor friends via WhatsApp chats of adverse events as well as reports where people just died mysteriously or were maimed after the second dose of Covid-19 vaccination.

There were at least 3 cases of family friends whom I know here in Malaysia who collapsed and died suddenly or died days later after receiving the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccines.  There is really something very, very wrong with this vaccine.

Here is one account from a friend of mine now staying in the United States.  She recently (mid-March 2023) wrote this to me.

I quote what she wrote:

“Camila (her daughter, but not her real name) husband passed away some time after receiving the second vaccination during the pandemic. Two weeks after being admitted to hospital, the medical team found cancer cells in all organs. They were surprised to find the tumours in each organ were individual ones without source. Weeks after investigations they found a lump in the neck which they believed should be the source and arranged for a biopsy. But on the day of the procedure the lump disappeared. They had no clues as to how to give treatment. And so arranged for him to go to hospice. But instead, he chose to go home. He passed away a week later. In his death certificate the hospital couldn’t specify his cancer type”


As far as we know any vaccine will elicit an immunological response.  Immunological events is not only seen as a vaccine-induced autoimmune response, but in immunology we also see the same in many other diseases such as celiac disease - sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy), dermatomyositis, Grave’s disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, pernicious anaemia, reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sogren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and Type I diabetes among at least another 100 other similar diseases we have not fully classified.

There was another explanation to all these adverse events given by a doctor, or a scientist, whoever he was in a video sent to me.  However, his explanation does not impress me one iota or add any new medical knowledge to me.

As far as I have read, there was an observation in the UK after Covid-19 vaccination was given in 2020.  What they found was, the initial immunoglobulin changed after the vaccination was given to a certain population. But what intrigues me is, why was it that some eight days after the vaccination there was a rise in IgG (one of the 5 types of antibodies) after an initial rise in IgM as IgM dipped? This is what I personally want to know. Obviously, there was an immunological switch.

As far as I know it is not common to have different types of immunoglobulins appearing after a specific infection unless there were mixed infections.  Normally in mixed infections, mixed antibodies are detected together at the very beginning, but not over a period of time lapse

It looks to me after the vaccination, the Covid virus may have mutated into another variant after incubation in the body.

The vaccine containing the mRNA fragment when injected into the body is challenged by the immune system. It may also at the same time cause the body to go into an autoimmune response to attack its own cells and organs. However, the RNA fragment may also have evolved and adapted itself into another type of mutagenic variant inside (not outside) the human body by snatching part of the human genome by lateral transfer just like we observe in bacteria that were able to incorporate stray DNA in the environment left behind from dead animal tissues into their genome to become a different strain hardier than ever as part of evolution . If they can do that, we see no reason why viruses cannot do the same, all the more when they have such a warm environment as a human host  by us deliberately inviting and welcoming them in by injections of those vaccines containing fragments of them.

The  evolution of viruses conforms to the principles of Darwinian host evolution, involving variation and natural selection up to a diversity in vitro  up to a tune of 1015 types. However, viruses have multiple origins, and are thus polyphyletic. There are six major categories of viruses (+RNA, –RNA, dsRNA, retro, small DNA, large DNA) that have no common genes and hence have no common ancestor. 

The origin of viruses is not clear to us. But we are certain the first viruses arose before all life. Over time, they adapted to new hosts. The oldest evidence of bacteria is found, for example, in so-called stromatolites, the oldest of which are 3.6 billion years old and were found in Australia. A direct proof of ancient viruses is still not known but we believe the first virus may have been at least  3,800 million years ago when the RNA world was shown up by the first chemical fossil. This was long, long before any other life came into existence to host them in. Even without any living host eons ago they were able to evolve into such a wide variety of viruses.

This possibly may have given rise to another type of immune response with another type of immunoglobulins as was shown in a UK finding I mentioned.

I think we may set a very dangerous  precedent for more pathogenically-aggressive viruses to evolve by using vaccines to challenge their survive

My question now is, could all these mass vaccinations be the reason for a serial rise in various variants from delta, mu, South African to Omicron, etc? That's my personal question to all Big Pharma scientists, vaccine producers, researchers and doctors who advocated these vaccines. Perhaps they may care to answer us.
