Dr. David Brownstein, who has a clinic simply exterior of Detroit, Michigan, has efficiently handled over 200 sufferers with what has turn into my favourite intervention for COVID-19 and different higher respiratory infections, specifically nebulized hydrogen peroxide.
A peer-reviewed consecutive case collection of 107 COVID-19 sufferers handled with nebulized peroxide and different treatments, together with oral nutritional vitamins A, C and D, iodine, intravenous hydrogen peroxide and iodine in addition to intravenous (IV) vitamin C, together with intramuscular ozone, was printed within the July 2020 concern of Science, Public Well being Coverage, and the Legislation.1 All sufferers survived.
Nebulized Peroxide and Iodine
On the time of this interview, the variety of sufferers efficiently handled with these all-natural methods exceeds 230, and he has now printed a ebook describing his method, titled “A Holistic Approach to Viruses.”
“[Among] our [COVID-19] sufferers, we have had no deaths,” he says. “We have had a few hospitalizations, however a lot smaller than ought to be for the reported statistics. And we’re nonetheless utilizing the identical protocol we have been utilizing for 25 plus years for flu and flu-like sicknesses.
A affected person I referred to as over the weekend instructed me ‘There are two issues out of what you gave me that I might inform actually made me really feel higher.’ I gave him the entire protocol of oral vitamin A, C, D and iodine and nebulized peroxide and iodine.
He stated, ‘I forgot to make use of the iodine the primary day or two. If you requested me about it, I re-added it again in orally. That made the distinction. My mucus thinned out, my respiration was higher. I forgot to place the iodine within the nebulizer [too], and [when] I did each on the identical time — the oral iodine and the nebulized hydrogen peroxide with iodine — the whole lot cleared up …’
His respiration was 80%, 90% higher shortly after the primary or second dose of iodine. He is one other success story that we have had, which is supporting individuals’s immune methods throughout these viral sickness instances … I might implore my colleagues so as to add iodine into no matter routine you are utilizing to treating sufferers who’re sick with flu-like sicknesses reminiscent of COVID-19.”
Early Remedy Just about Eliminates Lengthy-Haul Syndrome
In my latest interview with Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, wherein we talk about hydroxychloroquine therapy, he identified that not one of the sufferers handled inside the first 5 days of symptom onset went on to develop long-haul syndrome.
This has by and enormous been Brownstein expertise as properly. Of the preliminary 107 sufferers included in his case report, 2% developed long-haul syndrome. That is in stark distinction to the 20% to 40% reported elsewhere, he notes.
“The large catastrophe of COVID-19 that historical past will inform sometime is the powers that be telling us there’s nothing we are able to do. Simply keep house, lock your self in your basement, quarantine your self from your loved ones, put on your masks, social distance — that is it. No therapies, no nothing, simply wait until the vaccine comes out.
This has resulted in over 400,000 deaths. Perhaps the demise numbers are exaggerated, however lots of people have died as a result of the governments and the powers that be, the AMA and everyone else on the market, have stated ‘There’s nothing you may provide’ and ‘Do not provide something as a result of it hasn’t gone by randomized, double blind, placebo managed research … and if docs do it, we will censor them and maintain them accountable.’ That is been the largest catastrophe of this entire factor,” Brownstein says.
Most Are Poor in Primary Immune Boosters
It’s vital to acknowledge so long as your immune system is as much as par, your physique can overcome most if not all viral invaders. And, your immune system operate relies on correct diet, not medication or vaccines. Brownstein’s use of dietary dietary supplements and different immune boosting methods goes again a long time, properly earlier than there have been antiviral medication accessible.
He factors out {that a} overwhelming majority of individuals have low ranges of vitamin C, for instance, which helps each your innate and adaptive immune methods. About 90% of his sufferers are additionally poor in vitamin D, which is one other essential immune regulator. You’ve got vitamin D receptors in each your innate and adaptive immune methods. Vitamin D deficiency can be related to sepsis.
Many are additionally poor in vitamin A. Right here, the satan’s within the particulars. Beta carotene is a water-soluble type of vitamin A that doesn’t present the immune boosting advantages of vitamin A. For that, you want the fat-soluble type. So, be sure to’re taking emulsified vitamin A.
“Beta carotene doesn’t present the immune system impacts vitamin A does,” Brownstein says. “Vitamin A helps decrease cytokine storm. It helps decrease the inflammatory elements … It helps to decrease TNF alpha. And the white blood cells want vitamin A as an integral a part of their functioning. So, it helps each the innate and the adaptive immune methods struggle again.”
Nutritional vitamins A, C, D and Iodine
For many years now, Brownstein has prescribed nutritional vitamins A, C and D to his sufferers, and on the first indicators of sickness, he instructs them to jack up the dosages to 100,000 items of vitamin A and 50,000 items of vitamin D3 per day for 4 days, together with 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C per hour throughout waking hours till signs recede.
“These had been the primary three issues I did,” he says. “What I discovered was that when individuals acquired the flu or flu-like sickness, they usually began taking these three issues instantly they’d get higher in 24 hours. It was wonderful.
A couple of years later, I realized about iodine and began testing, and located 97% of persons are poor in iodine. The overwhelming majority markedly poor, assembly WHO requirements of severely poor in iodine. So, I added iodine into that protocol.
My common dose of iodine for most individuals is — if they do not have glandular issues like issues with the breasts, prostates, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, uterus — about 12.5 milligrams a day. If they’ve issues with these glands, it might be extra.
The common dose of iodine over time that I’ve had my sufferers on is 25 milligrams a day. And it is a mixture of iodine and iodide, which is present in Lugol’s resolution. That was shortly added into that four-part routine, and that made an enormous distinction. Folks preferred that. They felt higher with it.”
As time went on, he found case histories describing the therapy of pneumonia, bronchitis and different lung issues with nebulized iodine. In consequence, he added that into his antiviral routine as properly.
In case you’re utilizing 5% Lugol’s resolution, merely add one drop to your nebulizer after filling it with the diluted peroxide resolution. In case you’re utilizing 2% Lugol’s resolution, which is on the market over-the-counter, add two drops. In fact, this ought to be accomplished with a physician’s session.
IV Peroxide, Vitamin C and Ozone
A couple of years after that, he got here throughout hydrogen peroxide, which can be utilized each intravenously and in a nebulizer. The truth that your physique naturally produces big quantities of hydrogen peroxide in all cells can clue you in to its significance.
“I began utilizing IV and nebulized peroxide, and I blended the nebulized peroxide with a nebulized iodine in a single resolution. For individuals creating lung issues, pneumonia, lung most cancers or COPD, in the event that they had been coughing, couldn’t breathe, in the event that they had been wheezing and issues like that, including nebulized hydrogen peroxide at 0.04% dilution and one drop of 5% Lugol’s resolution, which provides 6.25 milligrams of iodine, actually helped lots of people out.”
Ultimately, he began including in IV vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide and ozone therapy. When COVID-19 broke out the winter of 2020, Brownstein determined to do that fundamental antiviral protocol, discovering it labored simply as properly in opposition to SARS-CoV-2 an infection as every other viral an infection.
Throughout the first wave in March and April 2020, not one of the employees that continued working fell sick. Ultimately, one employees member acquired sick, triggering a cascade of an infection among the many employees. All had been handled and all efficiently recovered. “Now we have now a herd immunity workplace,” Brownstein says. “Eighty-seven p.c of us have antibodies to COVID-19.”
Nebulized Peroxide Fundamentals
I’ve embraced nebulized peroxide for the reason that COVID-19 pandemic broke out and have obtained many anecdotal reviews from individuals who have efficiently used it, even at extra superior phases. Primarily based on Brownstein’s expertise, I now additionally suggest including iodine when nebulizing, because it seems to make it much more efficient.
Understand that the peroxide must be diluted with saline. I like to recommend diluting it right down to 0.1%. Brownstein recommends diluting it to 0.04%. Tom Levy recommends 3% and better. Ideally, use meals grade hydrogen peroxide, because it doesn’t have any dangerous stabilizers. In case you pre-dilute to 0.04%, it’s going to keep potent for about three months when saved refrigerated. In case you do a 0.1% dilution, it might keep potent a bit longer.
In case you don’t have entry to saline, you possibly can make your personal by mixing one teaspoon of unprocessed salt (reminiscent of Himalayan salt, Celtic salt or Redmond’s actual salt) right into a pint of water. This will provide you with a 0.9% saline resolution, which is in regards to the focus present in physique fluids. Utilizing that saline, you’ll then dilute the hydrogen peroxide as described on this chart.
Don’t combine the peroxide with straight distilled water, as this might probably trigger physiological injury. You want the salt in there. You may, nonetheless, make your saline utilizing distilled water.
Additionally, to optimize your advantages, make sure you purchase an electrical tabletop jet nebulizer. The battery-driven handheld variations merely aren’t as efficient. As Brownstein factors out, in almost all circumstances the place sufferers weren’t getting higher, they had been utilizing a handheld nebulizer. As soon as they acquired a extra highly effective model that may drive the peroxide deep into the lungs, the therapy began working because it ought to.
I strongly suggest shopping for the whole lot you want beforehand, with the intention to deal with your self or your loved ones at a second’s discover. You don’t need to wait days in your order to reach earlier than beginning therapy.
Mechanisms of Motion
What’s it about hydrogen peroxide that makes this nebulizing therapy work so properly? Clearly, common peroxide is a topical disinfectant that kills viruses on contact. Nevertheless it additionally appears to have a secondary messenger impact. Brownstein explains:
“It is an oxidative remedy. We’re sort of all conditioned that antioxidants are good and oxidants are dangerous, however actually, you want a steadiness of them. It is referred to as a redox. It is like a teeter-totter. You want oxidants to stimulate the breakdown of previous cells, previous and injured tissue, and also you want antioxidants to stimulate the restore of these previous cells and previous tissues.
So, the oxidants do have a profit. They stimulate the redox pathway, and what I believe we’re getting with hydrogen peroxide, ozone and high-dose vitamin C is that you simply’re stimulating this redox pathway to maneuver electrons round.
If you transfer electrons round you can also make vitality molecules, ATP, you may stimulate restore cells and STEM cells and get issues transferring once more. The human physique produces an amazing quantity of peroxide. It is produced everywhere in the physique in each cell. If this was an oxidant remedy that is harmful, why would we produce a lot of it?
Utilizing small quantities of peroxide, both IV or nebulizer, solely has scientific impact. I don’t see unfavorable results with it. [Vitamin C also] stimulates peroxide manufacturing whenever you use excessive doses.”
Apart from having antiviral results, nebulizing peroxide may even enhance oxygenation and respiration usually, and might be very useful for people who smoke. This is smart as peroxide breaks down in your physique into water and oxygen. Brownstein believes it additionally has a detoxifying impact on the lungs.
It’s attention-grabbing to notice that Brownstein and his colleagues by no means used any of the drug regimens that many docs swear by, reminiscent of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
Whereas he has regarded on the scientific literature, noting there’s ample proof to help their use and security, all of his sufferers recovered with out them, so he by no means resorted to prescribing both of them. Brownstein didn’t even use zinc, which is a staple dietary intervention for viral infections.
For sufferers who journey and fear about contracting COVID-19, he merely reminds them to carry their nebulizer, correctly diluted hydrogen peroxide and iodine. That method, they’ll nebulize after they get to their vacation spot, which ought to successfully kill off any pathogens they may have been uncovered to throughout their travels.
Treatments to Keep away from
Apart from figuring out what to take and what to do, it’s additionally vital to know what to keep away from. Examples embody Tamiflu which, when it really works, might scale back symptomatic sickness for under a few hours at greatest, whereas having vital facet impact dangers. Brownstein additionally advises in opposition to Tylenol and different antipyretics reminiscent of aspirin and ibuprofen. The rationale for it’s because you do not need to suppress your physique’s means to mount a fever. Brownstein explains:
“Fever is there for a function. We had been designed completely to outlive viral sicknesses, to reside to previous age and have mind operate into previous age. If we help the physique, if we give it the fundamental vitamins it wants and the fundamental uncooked supplies and help that it wants, it might do actually cool issues.
The issue is, within the poisonous world we reside in, enzymes are poisoned and receptors are blocked. We take all these medication that poison enzymes and block receptors. Fever is your pal and the fever’s there for a purpose. Micro organism and viruses don’t love a raised physique temperature. That is why the physique raises the temperature throughout an an infection.
It is making an attempt to make the surroundings inhospitable for a pathogen. So, the worst factor you are able to do in that scenario, except the fever is just too excessive — a fever over 103 levels Fahrenheit, possibly 103.5 104 F., may cause mind issues and seizures and you’ll die from a fever.
However most individuals do not get fevers up that prime after they’re sick. They get low grade fevers, 99.5 to possibly 101, 102 F. I inform sufferers, do not take something for that. Simply help the physique and let it do its factor.
You may management your temperature significantly better than utilizing antipyretics like Tylenol or ibuprofen by taking a tepid tub or sponge bathing with tepid water. A shower with Epsom salts was very useful for my COVID sufferers, and it has been useful for different viral sicknesses over time.”
The Drawback With Tylenol
Tylenol particularly can be problematic for different causes. Importantly, it poisons the enzyme that makes glutathione, a really potent antioxidant that your physique produces intracellularly. If you’re coping with a bacterial or viral an infection, you need your physique to make extra glutathione to help affected cells. In case you take Tylenol, you block that course of.
“Tylenol additionally has a really slender window of toxicity, that means that in case you go over the advisable dose on the label, however not by a lot, you will get Tylenol toxicity. The liver begins to interrupt down and other people die from this,” Brownstein warns.
“The therapy for Tylenol toxicity is intravenous N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is the precursor to creating glutathione. So, I inform my sufferers to keep away from taking Tylenol. I actually made a degree of it with COVID-19, as a result of they wanted glutathione manufacturing.
And so far as Motrin and ibuprofen and aspirin goes, initially of the disaster, I noticed three sufferers who instructed me after they took the primary dose of Motrin for a fever, they collapsed, their system went to hell, that they had bother respiration. All the pieces acquired worse an hour or two after that first dose of ibuprofen.
There was an early article that hypothesized taking ibuprofen and NSAIDs would possibly make COVID-19 worse as a result of it might have an effect on the ACE2 receptor and make the virus extra prone to latch onto it. That hasn’t actually been confirmed. I believe it is extra [because] you are blocking the physique’s pure fever response and it is simply not factor to do.”
Again to Fundamentals
Brownstein stresses that it’s not nearly taking sure dietary supplements or nebulizing whenever you’re sick. You additionally want to wash up your eating regimen. The very best therapy is prevention, which you’ll obtain by correct eating regimen and a wholesome way of life each day.
That stated, whenever you do get acutely sick, in case you haven’t already eradicated processed meals, that are loaded with sugar and dangerous fat, omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) particularly, that’s the time to do it.
Analysis truly suggests hydrogenated LA can radically improve your danger for COVID-19 as a result of the LA is a part of the technique the SARS COV-2 virus makes use of to contaminate your cells. I describe this in “The Type of Fat You Eat Affects Your COVID Risk.” So, you’ll need to dramatically restrict vegetable oils and different sources of LA and give attention to natural entire meals.
Collectively, consuming “clear” and addressing any dietary deficiencies you’ll have (and testing is one of the best ways to go about figuring out that) can go a good distance towards stopping extreme infections. As famous by Brownstein:
“It’s a must to have a powerful immune system. A greater immune system goes to struggle no matter you are confronted with. And look, SARS COVID-2 is right here now. There’s going to be SARS-CoV-3, CoV-4 or CoV-5 or another sickness that is on the market, so, we acquired to have a powerful immune system.”
