1. Introduction

You may be surprised to learn that global vaccine messianists (who want us to believe that only their vaccines can save humanity from disease and death) have long been aware that inexpensive drugs such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), ivermectin, and zinc (off-patent or, in the case of zinc, unpatentable) are prophylactic and therapeutic not only for SARS (the SARS CoV-2 virus causes the disease COVID-19) but for many other viral illnesses, obviating the need for many vaccines. Pfizer, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Ralph Baric, and the FDA, knew these treatments work, yet chose to misinform the public by claiming they were not effective.

Scientific literature is replete with studies describing the tremendous health benefits and medicinal qualities of numerous plants and their phytochemicals (natural remedies). Scientists have determined that plants (particularly whole plants) are not only more potent than drugs but are also safer and less likely to cause multi-drug resistance.^[1] (We will see in the section below, “A review of the scientific literature on plants' health benefits,” that the World Health Organization (WHO) dishonestly claimed just the opposite — that using the whole Artemisia plant to treat COVID-19 would likely cause drug resistance to Big Pharma's Artemisia–based malaria drug (which isolated only two of the plant's molecules) and also questioned its safety and efficacy.)

This means that instead of capitulating to the fear-mongering being generated by these self-declared saviors for each newly declared outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, or viral/bacterial variant and rushing to get vaccinated, even with a novel, warp-speed vaccine, we can remain calm knowing that we are able to support our own health with the natural remedies God has given us.

2. Disinformation propagated by vaccine messianists

The following excerpt from section ‘5f. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin in the medical literature’ of the Frontline News article “The crime and punishment of Dr. Simone Gold” reveals how doctors and health authorities, who know the truth, misled the public about these remedies.

i. Pfizer, NIH, and Dr. Fauci on HCQ

As Ashmedai revealed in his substack^[2] Pfizer, as part of its ”COVID-19: Clinical Presentation PowerPoint," lists hydroxychloroquine, along with several other medications including alternative medicine, as appropriate anti-cytokine storm treatment for people already in the ICU.^[3]

Fifteen years before COVID-19, chloroquine (hydroxychloroquine is a safer formulation) was shown in the lab to be effective against SARS.

A 2005 paper authored, in part, by scientists working at the CDC and published in the journal Virology^[4] concluded that

[c]hloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection.

On March 24, 2020, during the Philadelphia’s Morning Answer with Chris Stigall program,^[5] Dr. Fauci stated that it is perfectly legal — and appropriate — for physicians to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to their patients “off-label”; physicians prescribe off-label all the time. This is the exchange between Stigall and Fauci about prescribing [hydroxy]chloroquine for COVID-19:

Chris Stigall: If you’re a doctor listening to me right now and a patient with coronavirus feels like they want to try [chloroquine] and you’re their doctor, you’re not Anthony Fauci the guy running the coronavirus task force, would you say ‘alright, we’ll give it a whirl’?

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Yeah, of course, particularly if people have no other option. You want to give them hope. In fact, for physicians in this country, these drugs are approved drugs for other reasons. They’re anti-malaria drugs and they’re drugs against certain autoimmune diseases, like lupus. Physicians throughout the country can prescribe that in an off-label way. Which means they can write it for something it was not originally approved for. People do that all the time, and it really is an individual choice between the physician and his or her patient as to whether or not they want to do that.

He did not, however, explain that there is evidence from 2005, supporting the use of hydroxychloroquine for SARS, even though he should have been well aware of the study.

Presenting video clips of Dr. Fauci calling positive results with HCQ “anecdotal”, Right Wire Report writer Bekah Lyons questioned his seeming ignorance of the study in her May 5, 2020, article.^[6] She explained that

[t]he Virology Journal is officially published through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and is part of the United States National Library of Medicine, a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist, has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. NIAID is one of 27 institutes that make up the NIH. Dr. Fauci is the lead Medical Expert on the President’s Corona Task Force.

She ponders a simple question: “Why is Dr. Fauci acting as if he knows nothing about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine?”^[7]

[MedPage Today author of the article critiqued in ‘The crime and punishment of Dr. Simone Gold’, Cathy] Clark can find recent studies showing the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 here, here, here, and here and learn more about the backstory of hydroxychloroquine here.

ii. Dr. Zelenko and Dr. Baric — zinc-ionophores inhibit multiple viruses

Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc-ionophore, one of several, as it helps zinc enter the cells. Once in the cells, zinc inhibits viral reproduction. That's why Dr. Zelenko treated his patients with both hydroxychloroquine and zinc (as well as other drugs and supplements).^[8]

This combination of zinc with an ionophore was proven to be effective against SARS by epidemiologist Dr. Ralph Baric, at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Dr. Baric has been involved in gain-of-function research as well as the development of Remdesivir, a drug that includes liver and kidney failure as adverse effects (see footnote 10 [6 in this article] for more information about Remdesivir).^[9]

Dr. Baric was one of several co-authors of a study published in 2010^[10] which demonstrated that zinc, along with the zinc-ionophore pyrithione increased the cellular concentration of zinc and effectively impaired the replication of the virus.

The study also reported that the combination of zinc with an ionophore is effective against a number of other RNA viruses including poliovirus, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and several picornaviruses (which cause respiratory tract infections).

In addition to HCQ, Dr. Zelenko included ivermectin, quercetin, and ECGC in his list of zinc-ionophores and also listed Hanta virus, Ebola, and Marburg virus as viruses which can be treated with zinc and a zinc-ionophore.

More corroboration for the necessity of zinc to combat COVID-19 comes from a study published September 2020 in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. The authors conclude:

The study data clearly show that a significant number of COVID-19 patients were zinc deficient. These zinc deficient patients developed more complications, and the deficiency was associated with a prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality.^[11]

In fact, the signature symptoms for COVID-19, loss of smell and taste, are both symptoms of zinc deficiency.^[12]

iii. Dr. Urso on HCQ as a “vaccine”

In the following video, Dr. Richard Urso explains how HCQ taken continuously as a prophylaxis can break down the virus before it enters the cell; any remaining virus particles that do make it into the cell are ineffective at creating disease but can elicit an immune response similar to a vaccine.

iv. Dr. Kory, and the FDA on ivermectin

Not only is ivermectin a zinc-ionophore which inhibits replication of the virus at its earliest stages including as prophylaxis, it also has properties that make it an effective remedy for COVID-19 even in late stages.

Listen to Dr. Pierre Kory's impassioned plea before Senator Ron Johnson's panel on December 8, 2020, asking the NIH to review the mountains of data he and his colleagues had accumulated regarding the use of ivermectin in order to save COVID-19 patients. Dr. Kory has been perhaps the most outspoken advocate for the use of ivermectin.

Read the story of one family whose loved one was saved from death with ivermectin, only administered after the family fought the hospital in court, here. Many others have had to fight for ivermectin in court as well. Not everyone was successful. You can read about some of those cases here.

Clark can find studies and information showing the effectiveness of ivermectin here, here, and here and on FLCCC (Front Line Critical Care Alliance), the organization with which Dr. Kory is affiliated.^[13]

Epoch Times senior reporter Zachary Stieber revealed the FDA's own website is misleading the public.^[14] The FDA's website exhorts people not to use ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19, pointing to a number of studies about which the agency states:

Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19. Clinical trials assessing ivermectin tablets for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in people are ongoing.

Yet, Stieber noted that 16 of the 32 trials the FDA pointed to are actually supportive of ivermectin as treatment for COVID-19. Stieber quoted Dr. Kory as calling the FDA's position on ivermectin “one of the most glaring examples of the corruption of modern evidence based medicine.”

v. The importance of early treatment

Dr. Baric, in a February 26, 2020, presentation about COVID-19, vaccines, and treatment, impresses upon his audience the importance of early treatment, as have Dr. Gold, Dr. Zelenko, and Dr. Kory, among others. (Note that the mortality rate for COVID-19 was found to be a lot lower than for SARS and MERS and much, much lower than initial estimates claimed.) Early in the presentation Dr. Baric explains that COVID-19 can cause ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), a situation where after the viral load is gone the patient is still left with the immune pathology at which point the anti-viral is ineffective. Therefore, he maintains, early treatment is essential. Watch him state that below.

The entire conference can be seen here. Dr. Baric explains what ARDS is at about 13:50. Unfortunately, Dr. Baric chose to mislead his audience about the effects of Remdesivir since he supported its possible use against COVID-19 in this presentation (at 52:22). He claimed that while Remdesivir had been found to be effective against Ebola, other drugs were more effective, never mentioning that more people died from the drug than from Ebola during that trial (see footnote 10 [6 in this article]) or of its life-threatening effects on the liver and kidneys.

>If you're experiencing cognitive dissonance at the moment, that's to be expected.

While it may be that Dr. Gold wasn't aware of all this information [see original article], it is quite apparent that these drugs are not “unproven medications” and there was/is no justification for preventing doctors from using them off-label. Significantly, DOCTORS WHO RECOMMEND OR PRESCRIBE THESE TREATMENTS ARE NOT DISPENSING MISINFORMATION OR MISLEADING THEIR PATIENTS.^[15]

3. A review of the scientific literature on plants' health benefits

Various research studies and papers have reported on the many plants and phytochemicals shown to be effective against SARS, COVID-19, and other illnesses. Here are several examples:

Artemisia annua (Artemisia), a medicinal plant identified as a possible treatment for COVID-19, has centuries of use in Chinese traditional medicine, especially for malaria.

On May 5, 2020, rfi author Daniel Finnan reported on the interest and controversy surrounding the plant Artemisia as both a prophylactic and treatment for COVID-19.^[16] Earlier that week Madagascar president Andy Rajoelina had given a long speech about the benefits of Artemisia for COVID-19; their COVID-ORGANICS branded Artemisia products were subsequently purchased by other African countries. It wasn't just a current interest, he pointed out. As far back as 2005, a Chinese study, published in the journal Antiviral Research, identified Artemisia as a potential treatment for SARS.

Madagascar was not the only country interested in Artemisia, either, he stated. Germany's Max Plank Institute and the U.S. company, ArtemiLife Inc. were also studying Artemisia as a treatment for COVID-19.

The controversy surrounding the use of Artemisia — referring to the use of the whole plant as a treatment for malaria — was, he noted, the subject of a January 2019 documentary produced by France 24. The documentary suggested that the use of Artemisia for malaria treatment was discouraged because of pressure from Big Pharma. Drug companies developed ACT treatments (Artemisia combination therapy using semi-synthesized artemisinin) for malaria and the natural product would threaten their business.

To prove the point that Madagascar's COVID-19 treatment threatened Big Pharma, Finnan referred to Congolese doctor Jérôme Munyangi, a doctor at the forefront of the battle for Artemisia, whose

. . . large-scale, double blind randomised clinical trial was published in the Phytomedicine journal in April 2019. It concludes that infusions of artemisia annua and artemisia afra, another species of the plant, provide better outcomes than the ACT treatment. (Emphasis added.)

[This study (even though it had been retracted by the journal) was referenced in a research paper in 2021 where it was again found that the whole plant works better than the drug.^[17]]

Another study, published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology by researchers from Switzerland and the Netherlands, Finnan reported, also found Artemisia tea infusions helpful against HIV. According to the lead researcher, they could not continue their research for lack of funding; he currently works in South Africa and says that research on Artemisia for COVID-19 also needs to be advanced.

The WHO, Finnan stated, objected to using Artemisia as a monotherapy [which would compete with ACTs], claiming that it could create resistance to artemisinin. The WHO also warned against its use as an herbal remedy for COVID-19, as Madagascar was doing, claiming that “it must be tested for efficacy and adverse side effects”.

(As discussed above, 2005 was the same year that the NIH published the results of their in-vitro study on the effectiveness of the malaria drug chloroquine, a plant derivative, to treat SARS.) Dr. Urso has pointed out that HCQ also threatens the pharmaceutical industry.)

On January 13, 2023, researchers from India and Saudia Arabia published an article entitled ‘An Attention towards the Prophylactic and Therapeutic Options of Phytochemicals for SARS-CoV-2: A Molecular Insight' in the journal Molecules^[18] describing a variety of plants, vegetables, and fruits with known medicinal properties.

A few of the many plants and plant constituents the researchers reviewed are:

• “Curcumin [from turmeric root] has been known for centuries to have anti-inflammatory effects.”
• “[C]hloroquine and amodiaquine, which earlier had been implicated in the treatment and prevention of malaria and inflammatory disease.”
• Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for its anti-inflammatory potential, immunomodulatory activity, and ability to mitigate the effects of cytokines and community-acquired pneumonia.
• "Emodin, an active component of many plants, has previously been reported to prevent the binding of SARS-CoV to ACE2 receptors through the inhibition of spike glycoprotein." (Emphasis added.)
• “Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenol found in green tea. It has been identified with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and other health-enhancing properties. In vitro studies revealed that polyphenols inhibited the production of many anti-inflammatory cytokines . . .” (EGCG was recommended by Dr. Zelenko.)
• “The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of the phenolic compound resveratrol [found in red grapes and their products] have been known for decades.”
• Punicalagin - found in pomegranates and pomegranate juice - is a well-known antioxidant.
• “Kaempferol, a flavonoid present in several plant species . . .” such as kale, beans, tea, spinach, and broccoli, can reduce the number of cytokines.

For readers who are interested in learning more, this study has a lot of information.

4. Could it be your immune system that protects you?

Readers may remember that during the height of the COVID-19 outbreak we learned that individuals with low vitamin D3 and low glutathione levels were more likely to suffer severe illness or die and that some hospitals successfully used vitamin C to treat their patients.^{[19],[20],[21]} Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency is also implicated in COVID-19 mortality; magnesium is needed to activate thiamine and thiamine is needed for the metabolism of some vitamin C metabolites.^[22]

On March 31, 2021, a most interesting article by Danielle Cinone appeared in Yahoo!Life. ^[23] Cinone explained that bolstering one's immune system would help the COVID-19 vaccines work better. She quoted Andrew Myers, MD, a naturopathic physician who recommended “Vitamin K2 (as MK-7), Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Omega-3 . . .” as important immune boosters, both before and after vaccination.

Think about what that means — it's your immune system, not the vaccine, that's protecting you!

We know that vaccines are not very effective in the elderly (whose immune systems are generally compromised) and in those who are immune-deficient and, considering the particular nutritional deficiencies found in those who are more likely to be hospitalized and die from COVID-19, it is easy to understand that it's a well-functioning immune system that protects us from disease and keeps us healthy, regardless of vaccine status.

Other articles that support bolstering the immune system recommend additional nutrients (and the foods in which they're found) such as vitamin B complex, vitamin E, vitamin A, iron, selenium, Black Elderberry, medicinal mushrooms, curcumin, echinacea, propolis, astragalus, pelargonium sidoides, garlic, andrographis, licorice, quercetin, and ginger.^[24],[25] Also important are ginger, pineapple, bone broth, and kefir, among others.^[26] Adding fermented foods to your diet will support a healthy microbiome which is an integral part of the immune system.^[27]

Web searches (harder recently because of increased censorship) reveal treatments for childhood and other illnesses for which these self-proclaimed saviors have claimed there is no treatment, declaring a vaccine the only way to combat the disease.^[28] An example is vitamin A deficiency which has been identified with measles morbidity and mortality.^[29] Another example is cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon is preferred) which doctors had successfully used to treat patients with measles, German measles, and other illnesses. Cinnamon has antioxidant properties and a number of important vitamins and minerals.^[30]

In their book “Dissolving Illusions”, nephrologist Suzanne Humphries and co-author Roman Bystrianyk included an entire chapter on “Lost Remedies” that doctors used successfully for multiple illnesses before there were vaccines.^[31] She also lectures extensively about the importance of vitamin C, as does Dr. Thomas Levy.^[32]

5. Only God provides the cures

Global health messianists want you to believe that you have to rely on them for good health, whenever it is that they come around to getting the treatment correct (and in the meantime, take what they give you no matter the consequences). They want you to be frightened and relinquish your human rights to health authorities and government agencies at each announcement of a new decreed outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic.

The veracity of the Jewish maxim — God provides the cure before the disease — shouts at us loud and clear from all the different herbs, fruits, and vegetables which have medicinal properties. (I remember reading about one doctor who visited a South American country, and when seeing the good health of the people and shown the vegetation they ate, exclaimed that they were eating their medicine!) There is no need to wait for these “saviors” to come up with the next vaccine or drug since God, through nature, has already given us what we need to stay healthy and heal ourselves when necessary, without exorbitant price tags or serious adverse events.

Proper nutrition (eating a natural, nutrient-dense, and well-rounded diet (not the processed, empty calorie “foods” we've been conditioned to buy), smart supplementation, and consulting with knowledgeable health practitioners for guidance), adequate sleep, fresh air, exercise, sunshine, and physical contact with loved ones were always known to support health. Nothing's changed but the globalists' narrative.

We can and must take back responsibility for our own health. The time has come and our very lives depend on it.

Watch the clip below from a 2003 episode of a TV show called Dead Zone. The episode is titled “Plague” and was posted online in the beginning of May 2020.^[34]

Another YouTuber, who posted a shorter clip from the episode, related the following:^[35]

During the episode, someone takes a flight in from China into the US and they come down with an unknown virus. After identifying the virus as a SARS related Coronavirus, one doctor figures out that they can stop the Coronavirus dead in it's tracks using a malaria drug called Chloroquine.

The writers have claimed that the information and research used to make this episode came directly from the CDC in 2003. Did the CDC know something in 2003 that they are not telling us now?
