#1 Vitamin to Treat Genuine Sepsis and Repel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The media has stirred up the Coronavirus which is a SARI (Sever Acute Respiratory Infection) also known as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) officially labeled/named COVID-19 (Coronavirus Discovered 2019) saying it massively effects the elderly resulting in death.

The elderly have dementia. And according to the British Medical Journal, the population in some communities, NOT nursing home nor Assisted Living nor dementia lock down facilities, age 70 and younger that have undiagnosed dementia[i] is 90%.

Those, whose brain is slipping, who have any form of cognitive impairment, diagnosed dementia or not, are at risk. When you have dementia, the brain is on fire with hyper inflammation and NO tropic support.[ii] The brain leads the control of the body therefore, suffering from poor brain health, with a weak brain, the immune system of the entire body is compromised and weak. With a weak immune system, the body cannot successfully fight off ANY infection.

Coronavirus is a virus which attacks your immune system in your lungs leading to infection which results in death caused by pneumonia which quickly turns into sepsis or blood poisoning.

While we are awaiting a counter to the Coronavirus to STOP the infection from spreading know about the use of antibiotics over time.  Heavy antibiotics kill sepsis, turns around pneumonia, but regular antibiotic use over your lifetime kills your microbiome or gut brain which instigates the communication to your head brain. Your microbiome controls your digestion and your body’s metabolism. And if you have been on a number of antibiotics back to back for various illnesses, your microbiome may be so weak it does not function properly, which means it cannot fight off the Coronavirus or ANY infection.

Dysbiosis and a medley of other illnesses such as adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, IBS, continual diarrhea or massive constipation, brain fog, kidney trouble, possible heart issues all the way up to cancer growth,hello Colon cancer, can result when your head brain-gut brain communication becomes weak and damaged. And these antibiotic side effects are magnified or exacerbated when antibiotics are combined with other medications.

As we are waiting for them to tell us what exactly will counter/kill the Cornonavirus 19, if you or an elderly come down with sepsis from the phenomena from COVID19, the miracle drug[iii] with virtually no side effects for sepsis is the HAT treatment…small doses of IV administered hydrocortisone (basic steroid), ascorbic acid(Vit C) and thiamine (Vit B1) a recipe comprised or a protocol developed by Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia and as proven in a scientific study reported by the Journal Chest.[iv] His retrospective before-after clinical study showed giving patients 200 mg of thiamine every 12 hours, 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours, and 50 mg of hydrocortisone every six hours for two days reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%.

There is synergy with B1 and the steroid hydrocortisone along with Vitamin C to crank up the immune system. Vitamin C itself is a potent oxidizing agent that energizes organs and can help eliminate pathogens when given in high doses. Mainly, vitamin C is a significant fighter successfully reducing inflammation. [v]

If an elder in your family has dementia or a week immune system and they become sick, immediately get them on a series of high doses of liposomal** Vitamin C.  Even if they are not sick, they need to be on twice daily dose of liposomal Vitamin C now and for the rest of their lives.  And this is something you might consider too.


If you suspect the flu, of course you will want to see a doctor but know under their current condition of weak cognitive brain health, sepsis is most inevitable.

Until there is a way to directly target the Coronavirus, know about the Marik Protocol cure for sepsis, share it with your doctor or if you find yourself at the emergency room, before or AFTER COVID-19, communicate this protocol with their staff.

Here is a 5 page listing of the trials and studies, proof that the treatment works.  For easy copying purposes, here is the link: www.JanetRichPittman.com/sepsis.

Bottom line…for dementia patients, the elderly, for us all…stay healthy, wash your hands, don’t touch your face, eat your vitamin C (red bell peppers have the most vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable but eat a variety of both) and take a liposomal version of vitamin C to mimic IV infusion and increase absorption**.

Fighting and Finding the cause of this hyper inflammation is a key step in my Dementia/Alzheimer’s Reversal and Memory Retention Protocol.  I cross reference each of these steps with your current condition—successfully going through the program brings back your cognition and provides good brain health for the rest of your life.

If you’d like more information on this 9 Step Reversal/Retention Program, based on scientific studies and clinical medical trials, here is a link and I have included it at the very bottom of this article.

**Let’s do some chemistry here. Each cell in our bodies is wrapped in a coat of oil.  Vitamin C and most nutrients are water based.  Oil and water do not mix.  We need help getting the Nutrients into our cells.   Insulin is the hormone we create to get the water nutrients into our cells but many of us are insulin dependent, especially dementia patients whether they have diabetes or not, they just do not produce enough insulin.  Liposomal is a technology that wraps vitamin c in an oil coating and mimics IV absorption—we need it to make sure we get that vitamin C into our bodies.

YOU Decide the Validity of This Alzheimer’s Treatment Study

“What do I think of this latest Alzheimer’s treatment?” was the question given with this article in a recent FaceBook conversation announcing the results of a Phase II Trial just embarked by West Virginia University.  (Here is the link to the Facebook conversation, feel free to comment.)

Have a Quick Read: 775 Words, approximately 6 Minutes

Following a good four hour+ investigative behind the scenes research quest…here are the cliff notes…

 

The Study Background:

Insightec, out of Israel, makes a helmet MRI/Ultrasound machine which is the machine used to treat Alzheimer’s  in the phase II study done through West Virginia University School of Medicine Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.  This is the first study done in the US, where they separated the blood brain barrier (BBB) with this machine and kept it open for 36 hours.

 

But does it treat Alzheimer’s?  That is the question, followed by what is the promise and what are the specifics?

 

How it Works:

Through sound waves, the ultrasound finds targeted tissues and by increasing the power of the waves trough MRI observation, these tissues are disintegrated.  The machine has been successful with 1.  destroying uterine fibroids or leiomyomas/myomas and 2. after specifically targeting bone nerves, the machine destroys nerve cells at the outermost area of the affected bone to relieve pain.  (If you have ever known anyone with bone cancer you know bone cancer gives pain a new definition, it floods intolerable torturous pain.)

 

While opening the BBB is NOT the cure for Alzheimer’s, the goal of the study is to keep the BBB open to allow ‘medicines’ in to destroy or, through perhaps an additional ultrasound technique, to clear beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles.

 

My Opinion:

A now retired Dr. David Snowden, PhD spent nearly 25 years studying the brains of nearly 1000 nuns from various convents in the Midwest to understand the causes of Alzheimer’s. These nuns donate their brains to science where after their death, Snowden and his teams extensively dissected, analyzed and probed every brain.

There is so much to be pulled out of Snowden’s study but the main concept, theory, observation was that those nuns who died of Alzheimer’s had the same amount of beta amyloid plaques in their brains as those who died with their full cognizance, with a full functioning brain.

That needs repeating:  the nuns that died from old age or other non Alzheimer’s causes whether an automobile accident, cancer or pneumonia, where they had their full cognition right prior to their death, had the same amount of beta amyloid plaques as those nuns who died while in the full onset,  final stages of Alzheimer’s.

As a brain researcher concentrating on dementia, I’ve got an electronic filing cabinet drawer on beta amyloid plaques and their ‘place’ in the brain. Based on my research, beta amyloid plaques are formed as a protective measure.  They are needed by the brain.

For these ‘cliff notes’ let me just say removing beta amyloid plaques is not the answer, rightly as Snowden and his study of near 1000 nuns showed us.  He has written a book on his study or studies called Aging with Grace.

Opening up the BBB via The Phase II Trial conducted by West Virginia University School of Medicine Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute using Insightec MRI/Ultrasound machine to get rid of the beta amyloid plaques… is questionable.

 

There are three main causes of dementia/Azheimer’s. The proven key, what has worked to reverse dementia in thousands of invaded patients. is to get to the root of the cause of the symptoms and then counter the prognosis or projection.  Through my 9 Step Alzheimer’s Reversal/Memory Retention Map, (the map found here, the explanation here), we go step by step with an individualized plan to find and keep your memory. First we scrutinize your causes through medical testing and  your medical history topped with analysis to develop your individualized plan.  The remainder 8 steps follow to find equilibrium and balance in your body, in your brain and in your mind so to keep it fully functioning, for the rest of your life!

 

Would I subject my mother or father to this procedure of the Insightec machine?  Absolutely not.

 

What do I say to/about this study? 

  1. I’ll be watching. There will be a couple of years for trials to be finalized. Again, hats off to those searching for a clue.
  2. Insightec has a business to run and machines to sell. They’ve done well with dissolving myomas and alleviating pain from bone cancers. Has it justified their ROI? Are they trying to find another means for the machine?
  3. UVW, like all other universities, has to prove their worth and showcase their productivity to ensure steady stream of government and private funding.

 

Here is the other side of the story.  What is your decision?

5 White, ‘Brain Damaging’ Foods

They kill your brain cells, point blank. Over time, brain fog, lack of memory, and additional cognitive impairment leading to Alzheimer’s and other dementias pursues.

 

What are “they”?  The 5 white brain damaging foods.  These include:

1) white wheat flour

2) white rice

3) white corn (yes it is white when processed, when the skin is removed)

4) white potato and

5) white sugar

 

All of the above damage, stop or even kill the neurotransmitter communication between your gut brain (the gastrointestinal tract or GI tract) and your head brain (the Central Nervous System).   With no communication, the cells in both brains die.

 

Here’s how the killing spree begins:

 

It starts with gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley.

 

Some perspective. Did you know that we humans have nearly 23,000 genes in our bodies? Guess how many wheat gluten has? The answer: around 150,000.

 

So, in a nutshell, we can’t digest gluten, which essentially eats us, not the reverse.

According to Alessio Fasano, M.D., the father of ‘no gluten’, Harvard scientist and author of book, Gluten Freedom, whether you are a celiac disease victim or not, gluten dissolves the lining of every consumer’s small intestine allowing partially digested foods to seep out of the intestine into gut tissues, eventually ending up in your blood.  Your immune system is called in to attack these invading, partially digested food particles.

 

Think of it this way, your immune system is constantly in attack mode whenever you eat:

 

  • cereal for breakfast
  • a donut for morning snack
  • a  sandwich for lunch, along with crackers and pretzels for an afternoon snack
  • a roll with dinner or
  • a cookie for a midnight snack

 

Do this every day, 365 days a year, for all of your life (but hopefully not beyond this reading) …and your immune system never rests.  It just sort of goes mad, crazy.

As your immune system eats up all the invading chemicals, it eats up the good healthy cells too.  This is called chronic inflammation or hyper inflammation.

 

Gluten eventually gets into your blood, eats the lining of the blood vessels and breaks the blood head brain barrier where these undigested particles seep out into your brain, depositing toxins and other invading chemicals.

 

The head brain’s own separate immune system (the glyphatic system) is then called into action to flush out these foreign invaders.  BUT, it too goes mad, resulting in hyper inflammation and killing more head brain cells, the good and the bad.

 

Additionally, the blood bowel barrier is also broken where foreign invaders run rampant and hyper inflammation ensues (no one ever talks about that—hello IBS, hemorrhoids, constant diarrhea or other elimination troubles!)

 

The solution and the near instant reversal of such problems?

 

Give up the gluten!

 

AND say bye bye to white foods that turn into sugar, like white potatoes, rice and corn — all simple carbohydrates which turn immediately into sugar.

 

Did you now that consumption of excess sugar creates insulin resistance? Let’s take a look at this.

 

Insulin is needed to get nutrients into our cells. It’s also a major switching station for many processes in the body. We all know the pancreas produces insulin.  Well, our head brain also produces insulin and head brain insulin is specifically used to get nutrients into our head brain cells.

 

The more sugar we eat, the more insulin is needed to get the nutrients up in the head brain cells, until finally our brain just gets worn out and quits producing insulin, and becomes insulin resistant.

 

And really, can you blame it?  It is over worked with trying to get rid of the sugar plus it has better things to do like ensure the heart keeps beating and the lungs get enough oxygen.

Kim and Feldman from the neurology department at the University of Michigan published a study reviewing insulin resistance at the core of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Interestingly, another name for some types of dementia and varying stages of Alzheimer’s is “Diabetes III”.

Here, the insulin resistant brain cells are starving, our head brain immune system then goes mad, and all this results in hyper inflammation…all due to our MAD diet (Modern American Diet).

 

Yes, we are doing this to ourselves. The top caloric intake foods in the United States as per the US Dietary Guideline Advisory Committee: grains/dessert breads, breaded chicken, soda, pizza, alcoholic beverages and pasta.  Look at how the 5 White Damaging Brain Foods make up the top of the MAD diet and perhaps the daily diet for many of us.

 

To make sure we keep our memory and full cognizance as well as overall good health, we’ve got to treat and feed both our head brain and our gut brain with all natural, no processed foods, specifically staying away from the 5 White Brain Damaging Foods…I’ll say it again….white wheat flour, white rice, white corn, white potatoes and white sugar.

 

What you eat, affects your brain. Eat to better your brain, not damage it.

 

Helping get and keep your Gut-in-Gear so you can keep your memory, have good brain health and age successfully,

Greek Yogurt and Kefir—Are They ‘Brain’ Safe to Eat?

No, and here are four quick reasons, but…

The four reasons:

Casein

Lactose

IGF-1

Gut Intolerance

 

Casein is a protein that envelopes nutrients and will not allow their absorption.  So when you put fruit on your cereal and coat it with milk, it is a waste, you just pass all the nutrients.

IGF-1, or insulin growth factor1, is a hormone our bodies naturally create and which dairy consumption increases.  We need IGF-1 to develop and grow our bodies from infancy onward but after our late 20s, when our brain has fully developed, we don’t produce as much or need as much, a balance must be established.  When we don’t have enough IGF-1 our brain function suffers, when we have too much, damage ensures due to overabundance, damage like cancer progression.  Just let your body makes its own IGF-1, and you do that by eating clean, go moderate on meat proteins and by-pass the milk.

Lactose is a type of sugar that requires a special enzyme to digest it.  Many folks don’t produce this enzyme or call it up to digest the lactose in milk.  Consequently, bloating, pain, cramps, diarrhea, gas, nausea and possibly vomiting –just general all out stomach torture–is a result of not being able to digest the lactose. Is this you?  If not, intolerance has been known to occur suddenly so be watchful, just bypass the milk.

Even if you seem to digest milk okay, it still messes up your gut flora; it keeps your microbiome off kilter.  Gut imbalance leads to difficulty digesting foods, inflammation and overall problems with immunity.

Yet with everything, there is an exception….kefir and Greek yogurt.  Again, your microbiome must be in balance, the good and the bad bacteria equaling out. Your microbiome needs just a bit of fermented food to keep the good bacteria stirring and working.  Fermented products such as kefir and Greek yogurt can give the gut needed bacteria and help it stay in balance.  But, understanding the intolerance, just omit it from your diet. Eat kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi and miso; these are other fermented foods that will certainly do the gut bacteria balance trick.

If Greek yogurt and or kefir are all you have and if you can tolerate it, consume it with the knowledge of IGF-1 and casein. To get around casein, eat your Greek yogurt or kefir first thing in the morning with no additives and at least 30 minutes to an hour prior to consuming with other foods. In other words, no blueberries with the yogurt and wait an hour before you sip on your morning bone broth.  To ease with the IGF-1 production and prevent an overload, go easy on other animal proteins same day.

Basically know, only baby cows are to drink cow’s milk. Omit it from your diet to ensure the best brain health.

So how do you get rid of dairy?  If you are used to it every day, i.e. nightly ice cream, yogurt or cream in your coffee, check out my 5 Secrets to Getting Your Gut in Gear, found here.
