Pathologist Recognizes Patterns and Speaks Truth About COVID-19: Dr. Ishmael, a pathologist with unique expertise, gained national attention by recognizing patterns in COVID-19 and advocating for early treatments and basic immune health, despite facing criticism and attacks in the media.
Dr. Ishma Ishmael, an independent pathologist and lab director in Idaho, has gained national attention after a simple educational presentation on COVID-19 went viral. With a background in anatomic clinical pathology, board certifications in virology and immunology, and a PhD in research, Dr. Ishmael has a unique perspective on health and wellness. Through his lab, he examines over 30,000 patients a year and, through the larger lab, another 50,000. Despite facing criticism and attacks in the media, Dr. Ishmael remains committed to helping his community. He went "wrong" by recognizing patterns and speaking the truth about COVID-19, resonating with millions around the world. As a pathologist, his job is to identify patterns and make connections, which he continues to do in his research and advocacy for basic immune health and early treatments.
Healthcare Professionals: Prioritize Patient Care Over Personal Gain: During crises like COVID-19, healthcare pros should prioritize patient care, advocate for early testing and treatment, challenge regulatory capture, and consider multidrug treatments like Ivermectin.
During times of societal crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it's crucial for healthcare professionals to prioritize patient care over personal gain or political agendas. The speaker, who is a healthcare professional, believes that the standard of care for COVID-19 patients, which involves waiting until they're critically ill before providing treatment, is not effective. Instead, they advocate for early testing and treatment, as seen in more progressive countries. They also criticize regulatory capture and the limitations it places on healthcare providers, making it difficult for them to provide the best care for their patients. The speaker's approach involves a multidrug treatment, including Ivermectin, which they believe to be effective due to its numerous mechanisms of action. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of putting humanity first and working together to save lives, regardless of personal consequences.
Exploring Effective COVID-19 Treatments Beyond Monoclonal Antibodies: Hydroxychloroquine, fenofibrate, fluvoxamine, and ivermectin have shown promise in treating COVID-19 by blocking viral replication, changing virus shape, and reducing inflammation. Early treatment with these drugs can prevent hospitalization and save lives, but they're not getting enough attention.
There are several drugs, beyond the well-known ones, that have shown promise in treating COVID-19. Dr. Simone Gold mentions hydroxychloroquine, fenofibrate, fluvoxamine, and ivermectin as examples. These drugs work in various ways, such as blocking viruses from replicating, changing the shape of the virus to prevent interaction with receptors, and reducing inflammation. Dr. Gold shares her personal experience of saving her brother's life using ivermectin when he was at high risk for severe symptoms. Early treatment with these drugs can help prevent hospitalization and save lives. Unfortunately, these treatments are not getting the attention they deserve, with monoclonal antibodies, which have been paid for and are readily available, receiving more focus. It's crucial for healthcare professionals to provide early treatment to prevent harm and adhere to their oath. Online telehealth services can be an option for those who cannot find a doctor in their region. Ultimately, there are effective treatments for COVID-19, and it's essential to explore all options to save lives.
Treatments for Long Haul COVID and Post-Vaccine Neurological Symptoms: Doctors use Ivermectin, fluvoxamine, vitamin D, statins, and other FDA-approved drugs off-label to treat long haul COVID and post-vaccine neurological symptoms, with significant improvement in many patients. Compassionate care is essential.
There are various treatments available for long haul COVID and neurological symptoms following vaccination, despite limited FDA approval for these uses. Doctors are using medications like Ivermectin, fluvoxamine, vitamin D, and statins, among others, to target specific cells involved in these conditions. These treatments have shown significant improvement in a large percentage of patients. It's crucial for medical professionals to dive deeper into the mechanisms of these conditions and approach treatment protocols based on scientific understanding. Off-label use of these FDA-approved drugs, which are generally safe, can save lives. The importance of compassionate and empathetic care for long haul COVID and post-vaccine injured patients cannot be overstated.
Pharmaceutical companies' financial interests may impact their stance on certain drugs: Despite a proven safety record and effectiveness, some drugs may face opposition from pharmaceutical companies due to financial interests. Ivermectin, a safe and affordable drug, faced such opposition from Merck after they developed a new, expensive COVID-19 treatment.
The pharmaceutical industry's financial interests may influence their stance on certain drugs, even if those drugs have a proven safety record and are effective. The example given is ivermectin, a safe and cheap drug with a long history of use, especially in developing countries. Merck, a pharmaceutical company, issued a warning about ivermectin's safety despite its extensive use and safety record. This warning came after Merck developed a new, expensive drug for COVID-19 treatment. The speaker also mentioned the safety concerns raised by Merck despite the company's past distribution of ivermectin to children in Africa for decades. Furthermore, the speaker highlighted the success stories of countries like Mexico and India, where mass distribution of ivermectin led to significant reductions in COVID-19 cases. The speaker concluded by emphasizing that these effective and safe drugs lack financial incentives for pharmaceutical companies but hold the potential for life-saving benefits.
Use of Ivermectin as Early Treatment for COVID-19: Ivermectin, a lifesaving medication, could have saved up to 400,000 lives in the US if used as early treatment for COVID-19. Individual patient needs and risks are crucial, and suppressing alternative treatments and scientific inquiry is incomprehensible.
The use of Ivermectin as an early treatment for COVID-19 is a topic of significant interest, particularly in Japan where the head of their medical association has called for its mass distribution. Ivermectin is a lifesaving medication discovered from a bacteria in Japanese soil. However, the implementation of this treatment is complex as there is no one-size-fits-all solution in medicine. Some countries have been leading in the use of Ivermectin and other early treatments, but its suppression in the media is a subject of debate. Doctors, such as Peter Cory, Peter McCullough, and Harvey, estimate that up to 400,000 lives could have been saved in the United States if early treatment with these drugs had been implemented. The denial of medical exemptions for vaccines in California is a concern, as it infringes on the doctor-patient relationship and the sacred principle of free speech. The importance of considering individual patient needs and risks cannot be overstated, and the suppression of alternative treatments and scientific inquiry is incomprehensible.
Challenging Conventional Thinking and Exploring Diverse Perspectives: Embrace diverse perspectives and challenge conventional thinking to expand your understanding of the world and continue personal growth.
It's important to challenge conventional thinking and explore diverse perspectives. As General George Patton once said, "If everybody's thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." Dr. Brian Cole embodies this mindset through his podcast, which features guests from various backgrounds and encourages broad thinking. His ability to appreciate and learn from different cultures and disciplines makes him a polymath, and his open-minded approach to life is truly inspiring. By listening to and engaging with people from all walks of life, we can expand our own understanding of the world and continue to grow as individuals. I've had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Cole's podcast and have been impressed by his thoughtful and insightful conversations. His commitment to exploring new ideas and challenging the status quo is a reminder that there are no limits to what we can learn and discover. Thank you, Dr. Cole, for joining us today and for sharing your wisdom and experiences. Your courage and dedication to your work are truly admirable.
