Thomas Levy - Rapid Virus Recovery
The entire intent of this book is to make it clear that nearly all acute viral syndromes are curable, espe- cially those contracted via the respiratory route, and rapidly so. This includes COVID and any future pathogens that may emerge from mutation or from a laboratory.
It should also be emphasized that hydrogen peroxide (HP) nebulization quickly and effectively resolves the common cold and all variety of influenza viral syndromes, depending on long how the patients have been infected when the nebulization is initiated.
HP is the prototypical Bio-Oxidative therapy, as will be discussed in the book.
Vitamin C, ozone, ultraviolet blood irradiation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy also come under this category. When available, any of these other Bio-Oxidative therapies will synergize with HP nebulization to achieve virus resolution even more rapidly.
Whenever available, vitamin C therapy, especially via intravenous application, should accompany the HP nebulization if any virus-related symptoms are already present. Vitamin C and HP are natural anti-pathogen partners, and one literally fuels the impact of the other. Furthermore, all infections deplete vitamin C stores in the body, which are essential for immune support and tissue integrity.
Although not the primary message of this book, it turns out that
HP nebulization, along with a few other interventions, effectively restores a normal, or near-normal, gut microbiome in many people who end up nebulizing on at least a semi-regular basis. This is of ENORMOUS consequence to general health, and if the world was not in the clutches of the COVID pandemic, it would be the primary message of this book.
Applying a protocol of hydrogen peroxide (HP) nebulizations [the repeated inhalations of a fine HP mist] after an exposure to COVID or after the initial symptoms of COVID are noted offers a prompt and definitive cure in nearly everyone.
HP has the following properties that account for its powerful and positive clinical impact:
- Documented antiseptic (disinfectant) abilities when applied externally
- Completely nontoxic when appropriately administered to an individual
- Tiny in size, nonionic, and permeable to all cell, intracellular organelle, and pathogen walls and membranes
- Present everywhere in the body, continually produced both inside and outside the cells 5
- Chemically stable and not readily reactive like other ROS (reactive oxygen species), as it requires specific cofactors to have its pro-oxidant, pathogen-killing effect
- Rapidly produces hydroxyl radicals (pro-ox- idant effect) in the presence of unbound iron (Fenton reaction)
- Can spontaneously be generated from water to a limited degree
- Increased production in the face of infection and inflammation6
- Generated in massive amounts into the extra- cellular space by phagocytes in order to respond to pathogen presence 7,8
- Secreted continually by the cells lining the airways, serving as a natural defense mechanism against newly inhaled pathogens
- Naturally present in exhaled breath of healthy human subjects 9
- Increased presence in exhaled breath when antioxidant status is improved in COPD patients with nebulized N-acetylcysteine 10
- Pulmonary infection and inflammation results in a compensatory increased produc- tion of HP, as measured in the exhaled air
- Naturally present in the urine, helping to minimize the occurrence or persistence of infections there
- Metabolically breaks down into water and oxygen after pathogens are killed
- Improves blood oxygenation when inhaled by nebulization
- Effectively serves throughout the body as an effective storage form of oxygen
- Extracellular production of HP is massively increased in the presence of highly-dosed vitamin C
- Can be considered a nutrient by virtue of its effects on metabolism and ability to mobilize stored oxygen
- Activation of lymphocytes 11
- In an insulin-like fashion, HP can markedly enhance glucose transport/uptake in fibroblasts 12
- HP has a mucolytic (mucus-dissolving) effect that is also of great benefit in mobilizing and eliminating any secretions associated with a pulmonary infection being treated 13
Although HP reliably and completely kills all known pathogens, it seems to be counterintuitive to many people, including scientists and physicians, that something with such potent anti-pathogenic properties could be so
completely nontoxic when utilized in an internal application. Yet, this is precisely the case. The primary reason for this is that HP breaks down to water and oxygen after completing its pathogen-killing task.
The worst side-effect from HP nebulization administered within the boundaries recommended in this book can occur when the treatment is too prolonged or too concentrated. In these cases, minor, self-limited side effects (nose and throat irritation) can occur.
It would probably be more accurate to consider HP as a “ROS-in-waiting.” By itself, it is nonreactive, but it is ready to promote pro-oxidant impact when called upon.
This selective reactivity of HP in the presence of unbound iron allows it to selectively target pathogens, which accumulate and literally thrive on iron.
Pathogens, with their exceptionally high iron content, literally put a target on themselves that allows HP to directly attack them with massive amounts of oxidation while leaving normal, uninfected cells alone. It cannot be overemphasized that appropriate HP therapies just augment and bolster the normal defense mechanisms that the body uses to naturally kill pathogens and eradicate infections.
While
vitamin C has long been documented to be enormously effective in the clinical resolution of all viruses and most other infectious diseases when administered appropriately, it is the ability of vitamin C to convert HP into hydroxyl radical that accounts for its direct ability to kill pathogens. Indirectly, vitamin C also has a wide array of properties that all act together to strengthen immune function in order to prevent or resolve nearly all infectious diseases.
[...] vitamin C should be administered post-infection after all acute symptoms and evidence of active COVID infection have disappeared. This would probably not be needed if high-dose vitamin C had been used at the outset to resolve an acute COVID infection, but any other therapy that could eradicate the virus without having any substantial intrinsic anti- oxidant capacity should be followed with a course of vitamin C for optimal long-term clinical outcome.
Prevention of flu/ Covid infections
This is a general guide only. While all of the listed supplements are recommended, any of them can be expected to provide some significant benefit by sup- porting good immune function.
✓
Vitamin C powder (sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid): 1 to 2 grams three times daily orally, or 1 to 3 grams daily orally of liposome-encapsulated vitamin C.
✓
Magnesium supplementation, at roughly a dose of 500 mg orally daily, given in divided doses (many forms available; chloride, glycinate, gluconate, and threonate are especially good forms).
• Magnesium chloride is felt to be the optimal form for virus prevention/ treatment. 60
• Depending on age and body size, 10 to 50 cc orally twice daily of a 2.5% magnesium chloride solution (25 grams in 1,000 cc of water); tablets or capsules orally are also acceptable. Each dose can be further diluted in juice to optimize taste.
✓
Vitamin D (as vitamin D3—cholecalciferol), 25,000 units daily for two weeks (if never previously supplemented); then 5,000 to 10,000 units daily.
✓
Zinc (as picolinate or citrate), 50 to 75 mg daily for two weeks (if never previously supplemented), then 25 mg daily.
✓
Iodine/iodide supplementation, 12.5 mg daily (available as Iodoral 12.5 mg tablets).
✓ Take, or continue to take, any other quality nutrient/antioxidant supplements that you desire and can afford to take.
✓
HP nebulization, 1 to 3 minutes daily, or at least when a significant virus exposure is suspected, utilizing a 3% or less concentration of the solution.
[HP nebulization] Properly applied, it is also a simple way to
help achieve and maintain a normal flora in the aerodigestive tract.
The
leaky gut syndrome plays a pivotal role in causing many diseases and making many diseases worse. For the most part, it is primarily caused and sustained by the continual swallowing of pathogens and toxins from focal infections and areas of Chronic Pathogen Colonization (CPC) in the aerodigestive tract. Oftentimes nothing more than the regular, and sometimes just periodic, nebulization with HP can clinically normalize gut function and prevent its recurrence. Many other factors can be addressed to help HP nebulization reach this goal.
There are two basic types of nebulizers: desktop jet nebulizers and small handheld mesh nebulizers. Both are effective for the delivery of HP but each type has its advantages.
HP is available in varying strengths and quality grades. For most adults, regular OTC (over the counter) 3% HP is sufficient for nebulization therapy. Stronger concentrations than 3% are not recommended for nebulization.
For most adults, regular OTC 3% concentration can be utilized in the nebulization chamber undiluted.
For some, the 3% concentration results in too much stinging/burning in the nose. Such individuals can dilute the HP with a normal saline solution—0.9% sodium chloride in water, or just water. However, the saline tends to have a more soothing effect on the throat and mucous membranes than the water.
As it is a completely non-toxic therapy,
nebulization can be administered as often as desired. If done on a daily basis at least once, a very positive impact on bowel and gut function will often be realized as killing the CPC present in most noses and throats stops the continual swallowing of these pathogens and their associated toxins.
For both the prevention of acute respiratory illness as well as for maintenance of a normal aerodigestive tract flora upon elimination of CPC, nebulization can be done as often as desired. Normally, nebulizing HP for 2 to 5 minutes once a week should be sufficient.
