STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Recent research suggests melatonin may be an important adjunct to COVID-19 treatment
• Patients hospitalized with pneumonia and COVID-19 who were given high-dose melatonin as an adjunct therapy to standard of care improved within four to five days, and all survived
• Melatonin inhibits the cytokine storm associated with critical SARS-CoV-2 infection. It also inhibits sepsis (blood poisoning), associated with an overactive immune response
• Melatonin helps prevent mitochondrial impairment, energy failure and apoptosis (programmed cell death) in mitochondria damaged by oxidation
• Melatonin also helps regulate and improve risk factors for severe COVID-19, such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and diabetes

This article was previously published October 19, 2020, and has been updated with new information.

According to a June 2020 research paper,¹ melatonin^2,3 may be an important adjunct to COVID-19 treatment. Incidentally, while not emphasized, melatonin is an optional addition to the highly effective MATH+ protocol promoted by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Working Group (FLCCC).⁴

President Trump’s COVID-19 treatment⁵ was also said to include melatonin supplementation. The authors note that melatonin attenuates several pathological features of the illness, including excessive inflammation, oxidation and an exaggerated immune response resulting in a cytokine storm and acute lung injury (ALI), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and, potentially, death.

“Melatonin, a well-known anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative molecule, is protective against ALI/ARDS caused by viral and other pathogens,” the researchers state,⁶ adding:

“Melatonin is effective in critical care patients by reducing vessel permeability, anxiety, sedation use, and improving sleeping quality, which might also be beneficial for better clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients.

Notably, melatonin has a high safety profile. There is significant data showing that melatonin limits virus-related diseases and would also likely be beneficial in COVID-19 patients.”

One of the things that makes melatonin so effective is that it doesn’t just act as an antioxidant in and of itself; it also interacts with your body’s innate antioxidant system where it recharges glutathione.⁷

High-Dose Melatonin to Combat COVID-19

A recent case series⁸ published in the journal Melatonin Research details how patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia who were given high-dose melatonin as an adjunct therapy to standard of care all improved within four to five days, and all survived.

On average, those given melatonin were discharged from the hospital after 7.3 days, compared to 13 days for those who did not get melatonin. This is far better than the expensive treatment remdesivir, which costs over $3,000 and doesn’t produce anywhere near this improvement.

However, the patients were given very large doses of melatonin, 36 mg to 72 mg per day in four divided doses. When used for sleep, you’d typically start with a dose of 0.25 mg and work your way up as needed.

Dr. Richard Neel and colleagues at Little Alsace and Uvalde Urgent Care clinics in Texas are also using high-dose melatonin in combination with vitamin C and vitamin D, and had as of the last week of July 2020 successfully treated more than 400 patients.⁹

Because of melatonin’s potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, it would normally reduce the highly proinflammatory cytokine storm and neutralize the generated free radicals thereby preserving cellular integrity and preventing lung damage. ~ Medical Drug Discoveries June 2020.

Taxpayers are facing a hefty bill for rare but significant coronavirus vaccine injuries, with at least 10,000 people planning to claim under the federal government’s no-fault indemnity scheme.

Services Australia is building an online portal, to be launched next month, for uncapped claims above $5000 from those who suffered injury and loss of income due to their COVID-19 vaccine, with compensation for medical costs and lost wages to be paid by the government.

Shine Lawyers head of medical negligence Clare Eves said the amount of the claims “could be really significant” for people who experienced rare but serious adverse vaccine reactions, such as stroke and inflammation of the heart.

“Adverse events, even though they happen to a tiny proportion of people, for the people it does impact it’s really quite devastating,” Ms Eves said.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration recorded 78,880 adverse events linked to COVID-19 vaccination, representing a small minority (0.21 per cent) of the 37.8 million doses administered to 18.4 million people, by November 7. The vast majority of those 78,000 adverse events were mild side effects, including headache, nausea and sore arms.

More than 10,000 people have registered their interest to make a claim since registration opened on the federal health department’s website in September, official data shows, meaning it would cost at least $50 million if each claim is approved.

Ms Eves said significant brain or cardiac injury could result in a claim in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

A letter to Mr Drew Hendry, MP for Inverness and Nairn, regarding the safety concerns about the Covid vaccines.

Dear Mr Hendry, 

I trust you are feeling contrite after your recent Gibraltar jolly.  

This is to remind you of the email I sent to you and a body of other MPs a week ago on the subject of Covid and vaccines. I don’t expect replies from the other MPs but I believe that on this important subject I am entitled to a response from you as my own MP. 

My already-stated assertions are based on my compilation of evidence entitled “Covid vaccines damage the immune system and cause illness and death”. If you haven’t read through this compilation I urge you to do so, for the sake of your constituents. (My previous email and the edited first half of my compilation is posted online here.)

The purpose of this follow-up email is to repeat my compilation of evidence showing astonishing Covid malfeasance on a global scale, evidence which is so censored from public view and so contrary to the officially-propagated Covid narrative that many people are sadly reluctant to take it on board; and also to put some very specific and important questions to you. 

You may try to dismiss me as a crackpot but here is a Scottish professor agreeing with me, as highlighted in item 13 of my compilation, that the current abnormally high level of Scottish excess deaths is extremely damning for the Covid vaccines. He notes “In Scotland this summer there has been excess mortality for the past 21 weeks with the total excess now exceeding 3,000 deaths”.

He tip-toes around making an unequivocal condemnation of the vaccines, possibly for fear of being “cancelled” or censored or perhaps because of the public heath collateral damage uncertainties caused by the protracted lockdowns.  

Nevertheless, his excellent evidence showing deaths sequencing through younger and younger age groups as the vaccine rollout progressed is surely incontrovertible.

The sequence is shown dramatically the other way round in this statistical animation, with the mostly old and infirm susceptibles dying in large numbers at the start of vaccine rollout (oldest first) in different countries and at different times all around the world. In the UK, that January/February 2021 vaccine-induced spike in deaths was actually worse than the March/April 2020 Covid “first wave”.

The authorities shamelessly duped everyone by passing off that January/February 2021 spike as their long-lost Covid “second wave” (see items 10 and 11 of my compilation). They then shamelessly made out that the Gompertz-curve fall in deaths in the 2021 vaccine-induced wave, which was closely similar in profile to the 2020 first wave with no vaccines, was all thanks to their “world-beating” vaccines.

Then from June 2021 Covid-attributed deaths started rising again, whereas throughout summer 2020 they were practically non-existent, with no vaccines. 

The sheer effrontery of the establishment’s deception is staggering. Sadly, a great many people have been frightened and unknowingly manipulated into believing that the establishment’s Covid narrative is the gospel truth. 

If you want a more explicit condemnation of the vaccines, here is a US archbishop, no less denouncing the toxic Covid experimental vaccines and the disgraceful withholding of alternative cheap, effective and safe treatments, citing exactly the same evidence and dystopian “Great Reset” motivations as I cited in my email. 

To add a personal slant, two close family members and a friend have suffered from against-the-odds coincidental strokes since the Covid vaccine rollout started. Correlation is not proof of causation but blood clots are the number one expected adverse reaction from the Covid vaccines. My previously active first close relative spent months in hospital with hardly any improvement and is now invalided at home being looked after by carers.

Starting on November 1, the Funpalast brothel in Vienna said customers who receive the vaccination on-site will be allowed entry into its “sauna club” where they can have their way with a “lady of their choice,” according to the Daily Mail. The offer will be available throughout the month of November, during which boys as young as 14 can participate so long as they are accompanied by an adult.

“Many men, very many men with a migration background, virtually refuse vaccination or don’t even know that you can be vaccinated,” Fun Palast manager Peter Laskaris told Reuters. “And since we are actually reaching this target group, we decided to set up a vaccination street here.”

Germany initiated a similar plan of coronavirus testing for brothel clients earlier this year.

The latest offer comes after Austria instituted strict restrictions on the unvaccinated, barring them from restaurants and other public venues. Christoph Lielacher, director of the Fun Palast, said that the measure – known as 2G – caused a 50 percent dip in customers, which they hoped the free sex offer would alleviate.

• Vitamin D deficiency has emerged as a primary risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection and death. Higher vitamin D levels have even been shown to lower your risk of testing positive for the virus in the first place

Of these, vitamin D deficiency is the only factor that is modifiable. As such, it would be foolish to ignore, especially since vitamin D supplements are readily available and low cost

This article was previously published November 9, 2020, and has been updated with new information.

Aside from insulin resistance,¹ vitamin D deficiency has emerged as a primary risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection and death. Higher vitamin D levels have even been shown to lower your risk of testing positive for the virus in the first place.

Getting the word out about this — especially to the Black community and the elderly in nursing homes — could have a significant impact on future hospitalization and death rates from this virus.

If you have a loved one in a nursing home, taking the time to talk to the medical management about vitamin D testing and supplementation could also make a big difference in the general health of all the residents, as vitamin D is something that can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks and has many health benefits beside lowering your risk of viral illness.

Vast Majority of COVID-19 Patients Have Vitamin D Deficiency

According to a Spanish study^2,3,4 published online October 27, 2020, in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 82.2% of COVID-19 patients tested were found to be deficient in vitamin D, the medical term for which is 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25OHD).

The researchers compared the vitamin D levels of 216 COVID-19 patients and 197 population-based controls, finding that hospitalized COVID-19 patients had a higher prevalence of deficiency and had lower vitamin D levels overall. As reported by the authors:⁵

“In COVID-19 patients, mean± SD 25OHD levels were 13.8±7.2 ng/ml, compared to 20.9 ±7.4 ng/ml in controls. 25OHD values were lower in men than in women. Vitamin D deficiency was found in 82.2% of COVID-19 cases and 47.2% of population-based controls.

25OHD inversely correlate to serum ferritin and D-dimer levels. Vitamin D deficient COVID-19 patients had a greater prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, raised serum ferritin and troponin levels, as well as a longer length of hospital stay than those with serum 25 OHD levels ≥ 20 ng/ml.”

While this particular study failed to find a correlation between vitamin D levels and disease severity, other studies have shown patients with higher levels do tend to have milder disease. In fact, one such study^6,7 found your risk of developing a severe case of, and dying from, COVID-19 virtually disappears once your vitamin D level gets above 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L).

Vitamin D’s Impact on COVID-19

Back in June 2020, I launched an information campaign about vitamin D that included the release of a downloadable scientific report. This report, as well as a two-minute COVID risk quiz is available on StopCovidCold.com.

October 31, 2020, my review paper⁸ “Evidence Regarding Vitamin D and Risk of COVID-19 and Its Severity,” co-written with William Grant, Ph.D., and Dr. Carol Wagner, both of whom are part of the GrassrootsHealth expert vitamin D panel, was also published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrients. You can read the paper for free on the journal’s website.

As noted in that paper, dark skin color, increased age, preexisting chronic conditions and vitamin D deficiency are all features of severe COVID disease and, of these, vitamin D deficiency is the only factor that is modifiable. As such, it would be foolish to ignore, especially since vitamin D supplements are readily available and low cost.

Vitamin D can reduce your risk of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections via several different mechanisms, including but not limited to the following, all of which are discussed in greater detail in our paper:⁹

• Reducing the survival and replication of viruses¹⁰
• Reducing inflammatory cytokine production
• Maintaining endothelial integrity (Endothelial dysfunction contributes to vascular inflammation and impaired blood clotting, two hallmarks of severe COVID-19)
• Increasing angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) concentrations.

Episode 10: Early Mediterranean Civilizations

The Big History of Civilizations (2016)

Dr Craig G Benjamin

Film Review

This lecture covers four early Mediterranean civilizations: the Phoenician, Minoan, Hebrew and Mycenaean. According to Benjamin, their societies all arose after a 1200 BC decline in the Egyptian and Hittite* empires.

Phoenicians

The Phoenicians were a Semitic-speaking people believed to have migrated to the eastern Mediterranean from the Arabian peninsula. Renowned for shipbuilding and seafaring, they were far more interested in long distance trade than empire building. Establishing colonies (eg Carthage) in North Africa for their copper and tin mines, they exported metal goods, pottery, glass and richly dyed textiles. Avoiding the resource drain of war and empire building, they could concentrate on technological innovation. Their major contribution to modern civilization was the 22 letter alphabet they devised based on Egyptian hieroglyphics.**

Hebrews

Most of our information about Hebrew civilization comes from the Old Testament. Archeologists believe they were originally pastoral nomads inhabiting lands between Mesopotamia and Egypt during the third millennium BC. When the biblical patriarch Abraham moved his family from Ur (in Sumer) to Canaan (in Palestine), they took much of Sumerian culture with them, including  Hammurabi’s law codes and stories from the Legend of of Gilgamesh.*** Many of Abraham’s descendants subsequently migrated south into Egypt. Benjamin believes they began returning (as described in the book of Exodus) under the the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. The Hebrews reached the peak of their power under King Solomon (961-922 BC). Following civil unrest causing the Hebrews to split into two kingdoms (Judah and Israel), the Assyrians conquered Israel in 722 BC. The 27,290 Israelite slaves they captured were dispersed throughout the Assyrian Empire (comprising much of western Asia). in 586 BC, the king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar captured Judah, sending thousands more Jewish captives into exile. Some were allowed to returned to Palestine in 559 BC, when the Persian king Cyrus II conquered Assyria.

Minoans

The Minoan civilization began on the island of Crete and spread to the west coast of Turkey and Greece. From 2214-1450 BC it was a major center of trade, exporting olive oil, wine, wood and pottery and imported grains, textiles and manufactured goods. The Minoans established colonies on Cypress, where they mined copper to produce bronze. They used Egyptian hieroglyphics and a language called Linear A (which has never been deciphered). Their ruling elites lived in three story buildings with running water and, at one point, flush toilets. Female elites, who enjoyed considerable freedom, participated openly in public life. In 1100 BC, the Minoans came under foreign control though their collective knowledge permeated the cultures that conquered them.

Mycenaeans

According to Benjamin, the Mycenaeans settled Greece around 1100 BC, where they were ruled by a semi-divine king. Their lower classes consisted of farmers and laborers engaged in metal or textile production. Trade was totally controlled by ruling elites, and there’s no archeological evidence of an independent merchant class. The Mycenaeans established commercial colonies in Turkey and Sicily. In 1250 BE, they attacked Troy (as described by the Greek poet Homer) in modern day Turkey. Benjamin believes they did because the Trojans blocked their access to the Black Sea and eastern Asian cities. In 1150-850 BC, the Mycenaeans entered their Dark Age, after continuous invasions and civil unrest (ie revolts by the laboring classes), made it impossible to maintain a stable or productive government.

*Originating in Asia Minor, the Hittites established a kingdom in the city of Kussar and later an empire encompassing most of Asia Minor, as well as the eastern Mediterranean and upper Mesopotamia.

**The Greeks would adapt the Phoenician alphabet by adding vowel sounds, which would influence both the Roman and Cyrillic alphabet.

***The story of the Great Flood originates from the Legend of Gilgamesh

****There is no archeological evidence indicating the Israelites conquered Canaan militarily (as described in Exodus). Existing evidence suggests Canaanite society gradually absorbed the Hebrew immigrants over a long period of time.

AS an NHS hospital doctor, I have had a front-row seat as the drama of the coronavirus pandemic has unfolded. It has been a year and a half of confusion, frustration and anger for me as I’ve watched our profession drawn into complicity with what I anticipate will be regarded as one of the most egregious public health disasters in history.

I have watched as ‘the science’ has been presented on the national stage flanked by Union Jack flags as an unassailable truth. For something so apparently inviolable, it seems to shift and change disconcertingly from week to week, and for those of us looking beneath the pomp to the plain data, we see the rather unexciting (and unchanging) truth: the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, as it turns out, has a much lower infection fatality rate than early predictions. It is less deadly than the seasonal flu in children. The Office for National Statistics has reported the mean age of a Covid-attributed death in the UK to be 80.3 years, slightly older than deaths from other causes (78.2 years over the comparable time period).

What has been most upsetting for me has been the unquestioning compliance from the medical community as increasingly draconian, non-evidence-based and destructive virus control measures have been implemented. Some of the overt corruption, financial conflict of interests and politicisation has been laid bare in editorials in prominent medical journals such as the BMJ. But the vast majority of doctors have had no interest in asking questions or looking further.

My concern over our professional passivity turned to alarm as our compliance required us to support the roll-out of an experimental vaccine to a trusting population.

Contrary to the basic tenets of evidence-based medicine, pronouncing an experimental medical intervention ‘safe and effective’ now does not seem to require any peer-reviewed evidence of safety or clinically meaningful efficacy. The vaccines have not been shown in clinical trials to reduce transmission, hospitalisation or death. The phase 3 trials are not over and the safety data is not complete; the earliest trials will run into 2023.

The consent form for the Covid-19 vaccine does not disclose its status as an unlicensed experimental product. The risks remain largely unknown, although it is becoming clear that the vaccine has resulted in death or injury in a rising number of healthy people. A growing number of vaccine-induced syndromes are being recognised, including immune thrombotic thrombocytopaenia, myocarditis and menstrual irregularities, among many others being published in the literature. At the time of writing, there have been more than 380,000 reports, 1.2million injuries and 1,700 fatalities submitted under the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.

The Prime Minister himself has communicated the latest evidence, that two doses of the vaccine do not stop one contracting the virus, nor do they stop person-to-person transmission, they merely reduce the severity of symptoms. Despite this, it is clear the public are being subjected to a relentless media campaign of shame and coercion, that they must take this experimental product ‘for the greater good’ lest they be viewed as selfish cowards. A vaccine passport is now likely to be rolled out under ‘Plan B’, which proposes to return unlawfully usurped fundamental human rights and freedoms to only the vaccinated. Workers in the care home sector have had their livelihoods tethered to their compliance with the vaccine mandates, and a recent announcement confirms that this will soon include NHS employees. Not only is there no scientific basis for these mandates, these coercive actions breach the Nuremberg Code, as does the unprecedented lack of animal safety data for a novel medical product. A betrayal of the Nuremberg Code constitutes a crime against humanity.

It does not end there. The campaign marches on, and now includes the vaccination of children against a disease that has a statistically negligible chance of harming them. In the world of evidence-based medicine we doctors must weigh risks and benefits, we must ensure the risk of harm is far exceeded by the potential for protection or cure. In this case, with no real risk to healthy children from the infection, any harm is utterly unjustifiable. And the risk of harm is very real and measurable. Vaccine-related myocarditis is now a recognised injury, the risk inversely proportionate to age. Although rare, myocarditis can be fatal, and fatality is more common in the younger population. For reasons that have nothing to do with health, and despite the JCVI advisory board concluding that the health benefits do not outweigh the risks to children, the government is advising that we administer a medicine that carries a risk of serious injury to children who are healthy and who have no significant risk from the disease it purports to protect them against.

So many young people are developing myocarditis and other associated heart problems from the first Pfizer Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine dose that the government of Taiwan has halted administration of the second dose.

Unlike the United States which cares only about money, all human life be damned, Taiwan decided that it is simply too risky to continue injecting teenagers with Fauci Flu shots. And the country is not even considering injecting children under the age of 12 with the poison.

Until this issue with the second dose is officially settled, Taiwanese health officials have indicated that children aged five to 11 will not even be considered as candidates for the injections.

Dr. Anthony Hinton from the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS) warned about all this, suggesting that 20 percent of vaccinated children will die after two years, and 50 percent after five years.

This is a medical holocaust of unspeakable proportions, in other words, and Taiwan is having none of it (if only Americans could be so lucky).

“The public health frenzy to vaccinate kids is the ultimate example of process at all costs, the flywheel spinning ever faster, unmoored from reality,” writes Alex Berenson on his Substack about the insanity of what is taking place here in the United States.

“Imma say it again: if you let your healthy teen – much less your healthy child – get this vaccine, you are insane.”

Injecting your children with COVID vaccines is akin to murdering them

Keep in mind that children have a zero percent chance, statistically speaking, of dying or even just getting sick from the Chinese Virus. Heck, prove that said virus even exists and then we can talk.

Until then, parents really do have to be nuts to subject their children to this madness. Taiwan gets it, but many in the West, as demonstrated by their elected (selected?) leaders, are still woefully in the dark about what is taking place here.
