During cold and flu season, many people look for ways to stay healthy and ward off sickness. One option is chiropractic care, which can be a great ally for keeping your body in fighting shape. Chiropractors focus on adjusting the spine to improve how the nervous system functions. This is important because the nervous system is closely linked to the immune system. When your spine is aligned correctly, it can help boost your body's ability to produce more white blood cells and resistance enzymes, both crucial for fighting off colds and the flu. Another benefit of chiropractic care during this time is that it can help your body recover faster if you do get sick. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help reduce stress and improve circulation, which are key factors in maintaining a healthy immune system. When your body is less stressed and your blood flows better, your immune system doesn't have to work as hard to keep up with viruses and bacteria. This means you might experience milder symptoms and get back on your feet more quickly. Plus, chiropractic care often includes lifestyle advice, which can guide you in making healthier choices all season long.
Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease similar to smallpox, characterized by fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, typically transmitted to humans from animals. As of the most recent data available, monkeypox has been associated with a low mortality rate, with deaths being relatively rare. Most cases reported have been mild, with fatalities occurring in less than 1% of those infected. Most individuals infected with monkeypox recover completely. Recovery typically occurs within two to four weeks after the onset of symptoms, although some complications can extend the recovery period. A vaccine approved in August by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people deemed to be at “high risk” for mpox infection may cause more harm than good, according to the FDA’s own medication guide for the product. The FDA medication guide comes with a list of “serious complications,” including myocarditis, death and fetal death. The FDA’s medication guide also warns that people who receive the vaccine may spread it to unvaccinated people, who also risk developing vaccine side effects, including death.
According to the opinion of respiratory therapist Mark Bishaskey. thousands of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 died because of a rush to put people on ventilators — while denying them medications like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and vitamin D. A respiratory therapist is a healthcare provider who helps diagnose, treat and manage conditions that affect the lungs, according to the Cleveland Clinic. They are the clinicians who perform intubation — inserting a tube through a person’s mouth or nose, then down into their airway — so the patient can receive oxygen from a ventilator machine. As published in an interview with the Children’s Health Defense, Bishofsky tried to convince doctors that “this wasn’t the right thing to do.” He explained:
“When I started my career in 1999 I went to … a huge symposium talking about the risks of intubation — the risks of using a ventilator — and even back then it was known that intubation should be a last resort. “At that time, they were reporting a 25% increase in mortality of patients that were getting intubated and put on a ventilator. And now we know during COVID it was upwards of 80 to 85% of people that were on ventilators passed away.” Ventilators are “one of the most important life-saving tools we have,” Bishofsky said, but they are also “extremely dangerous” because they typically cause bacterial pneumonia. In the first week of the pandemic, the doctors at Bishofsky’s hospital used hydroxychloroquine. “We had extremely good outcomes,” he said. But then an “absolutely bogus” study came out in the British medical journal Lancet on hydroxychloroquine. “The doctors would cite that.” At the end of his tenure at the hospital, Bishofsky told its medical director, “You know, this whole early intubation thing was completely hideous.” The medical director admitted it was hideous but said, “We were doing the best we could.” Patients were being intubated “when they were needing as little as three liters of oxygen,” according to Bishofsky, who said he’d never seen that before in his 25 years of practice. “That’s so little oxygen to the point where if you took the patient off of it, they’re gonna be fine,” he said. “But there was this rush to intubate these patients.”
