#diseasex #prepare #pandemic
Med.com welcome to another medc video so what is disease X is it an ailment that you get from posting too much on a platform called x no actually disease X is no laughing matter and it’s being discussed at the world economic Forum meeting in Deo Switzerland they’re discussing possible future pandemics and
That’s what disease X is it’s a placeholder specifically it’s one where there could be even 20 times more deadly than we saw here with the last covid-19 pandemic according to this article that was published they are building Readiness to tackle the next pandemic and working out how to prevent the
Collapse of national healthc care infrastructure as was seen in many countries in 2020 and now has become a critical objective for the wh so which viruses could this be some of the ones that they’ve talked about is potentially a Resurgence of covid-19 could be Ebola the zika virus Crimean Congo hemorrhagic
Fever Middle East Respiratory Syndrome otherwise known as Ms and severe acute respiratory syndrome or the SARS the very first SARS uh virus that we saw back in 2002 so here are a couple more quotes from the article many people think it could be a Corona virus like SARS k 2
The virus that causes the illness with covid-19 or a new strain of influenza they also said quote the concept of dis disease X was one of the lessons we learned from this covid pandemic says Dr Thomas Russo an infectious diseases expert at the University of Buffalo Jacob school of medicine and biomedical
Sciences he said quote as mankind breaks down these barriers between humans and other species through live animal markets and deforestation we need continued surveillance and studies and improved biocurity across the world and he also finished with disease X could also turn out to be a brand new pathogen
Not yet known even among animals there’s been a lot of discussion about not only that but also lab leak Theory and a host of other viruses and diseases that are now being analyzed across the world and those are all very good topics to discuss but we’re not discussing it here
In this video what I’d like to discuss is what we can do specifically to be prepared for this next pandemic whenever it is because it’s probably just a matter of time and the article con use quote building Readiness to tackle the next pandemic and working out how to prevent
The collapse of national healthc care infrastructure as we’ve seen in many countries in 2020 has now become a critical objective for the who they say that ukuk scientists have said that a vaccine for a new virus with pandemic potential could be developed in as little as a 100 days I’m a little unsure
About that took us about a year in this last one and that was when everything was lining up well they say here that in August last year researchers from the University of Oxford announced that they were examining how to adapt the vaccine it created for covid-19 for disease X
They will also examine how other vaccines could be developed to thwart future threats I think it’s nice that they’re looking at this I’m not so sure that we would be able to have a vaccine within a 100 days of detecting an outbreak I guess it depends on which
Virus it is if it’s a brand new virus that’s going to be difficult however if it’s a variant of one that we already know or even let’s say it’s influenza something that we’re very familiar with that might be a possibility but it’s unclear exactly how that would
Happen so the purpose of this video is to go over how we as individuals can be prepared what can we do and I’ll tell you what I think is important and what I’m doing and the rationale for what it is that I’m doing to be prepared for the
Next pandemic in this video what we’re going to do is go over what I believe is going to happen in the next pandemic and what we’re going to need to know and be prepared for for the next pandemic so that we’re not caught flat foot so you all probably remember when we first
Heard that SARS kov 2 was in the United States and it was making the rounds there was an emergency shutdown of the United States to try to prevent spread of the virus to major cities and cause an outbreak when we did not have medications or vaccines and so this is a
An article that was published in the Washington Post in early 2023 by Joel achenbach America shut down in response to covid would we ever do it again the short answer is is I don’t think it would actually happen that way again I think there’s too many people that would
Be suspicious of that type of move even though I think it might be the right move to do depending on the Infectious nature of the disease I do not think that preventing people from going to the park or going outside or getting into the sunshine China will talk about would
Be a good idea and I think that in some cases this social distancing or physical distancing is probably is a better term might have been taken a little bit too far but I do believe that there was some benefit to this early on not necessarily to justify shutdowns but nevertheless it
Did have an effect in that it slowed down the progression of SARS kov 2 I don’t think we’re going to see that in the next pandemic and he says the same thing here quote this is not an esoteric dilemma there are more pathogens out there poised to spill into the human
Species a novel strain of Aven influenza h5n1 already has seized the attention of scientists as a potential spillover Hazard and it goes on to quote Robert Watcher professor of medicine at UC San Francisco said that the opposition to emergency measures will emerge on day one of any new pandemic it will create a
Tension and a level of push back against any Public Health mandates to do anything and what that means is that we’re going to have higher and larger surges of infections than we did with covid-19 early on in the pandemic and in some states where vaccinations were low when we finally
Had them and distancing was not observed as well as it could have been we saw that they actually instituted crisis protocols because the supply of Health healthare at these institutions were outstripped by the demand and these things happened well before healthc care vaccine mandates were instituted I can remember specifically
During the pandemic surges having a shortage of not only products but also staff to take care of patients for instance we had plenty of hemodialysis machines but not enough hemodialysis nurses to run them and you can see here an article that we’ll put a link to in the description below talking about the
Dialysis crisis that we had during the covid-19 pandemic so I’ve got here some issues that we probably will be dealing with if we did have another pandemic or a disease X and as we’ve just shown you lockdowns or isolation is probably not going to be as eventless or as quiet as
It was before and as a result of that because these lockdowns likely will not be as complete or as long we may have surges that come earlier and perhaps spread more rapidly as a result of that and so because of that there going to be more people that are sick and there’s
Going to be a higher demand for health care products and services you can see that here in terms of our next pandemic also as we had last time possible hoarding of anticipated Health products for personal use or for resale is going to be an issue so there’s going to be a
Shortage of supply of healthc care products like there was during the last pandemic the availability of drugs will be low the availability of drugs even right now without another illness is also low we’re actually running into issues of shortage no studies on specific drugs for off label use so
Depending on what the next virus is there’s no telling if we’re going to have any kind of studies that show that off Lael medications is going to be available or even be able to be done if one is considered either by the medical industry or people in general it’s
Likely not going to be available because everyone will want to get that number three supply chain may be disrupted both domestically and internationally many people people responsible for transport could be either at home contagious ill or even dead these are some of the issues in terms of our supply chain
Items that require supply chain may not be available and of course what is available is going to be more valuable because it’s scarce and that will increase in value so a lack of medications like insulin blood thinners things that people are normally every day on when they don’t get they run into
Problems they are also going to come to the hospital that’s going to be an issue as well if vaccines are developed within 100 days it still would be difficult to distribute it because as the new pandemic were to wear on the supply chain would be more and more compromised
And that’s exactly what you need to get those vaccines out to people there would be limited of any testing because testing requires a supply chain to get those tests out to where they are needed many healthc care Personnel may not be available again could be at home contagious ill or dead especially since
Those are going to be the ones taking care of the patients that are the sickest so they’re going to be the ones that are most likely to get the disease because they’re at Ground Zero and this could lead to crisis protocols being put in place at hospitals the impact on law
Enforcement is going to be huge because they’re going to be preventing people from using weapons in the hospital looting taking away personal freedoms of other people etc etc so ideally we would want to have access to standard of care medications vaccines it’s great to have those things
But we can’t depend 100% % on having those things available we believe in the Swiss Cheese model where you have multiple slices of cheese each with their own holes in it that are deficient but if you have enough slices you can compensate for that and so we want to
Depend on as many things as possible because if we do have a situation where some of these things are not available we’re going to want to have a backup plan to be able to put into place and so while it’s great to have medications hospitals medical infrastructure
Resources we really want to be able to have those things sometimes it’s also a good idea to in addition to that not in lie of it not instead of it have things that are not dependent on a supply chain so that they won’t go away when the
Supply chain goes down or not be dependent on a diagnosis or a test or not be dependent on a pharmacist dispensing it or not being able to be hoarded something that is widely available and inexpensive maybe even free and effective against a number of infectious agents that is very broad so
Let’s talk about some of of those things and see what we come up with and the first one is sunlight so people who watch our medc channel would not be surprised what I think you need to know here is that when we talk about sunlight a lot of you will reflexively think oh
Yes vitamin D um no sunlight and its effect on the human body is so much more than just vitamin D yes it does give you vitamin D but there’s so much more here is influenza deaths per week in the United States and this is looking through 20 as you can see the different
Years here at the bottom going all the way through do you notice something that when the sun is the lowest in the sky when you’re getting the least amount of hours of sunlight that’s when you’re getting these infectious deaths from influenza and you know it’s not just influenza no just about all chronic
Lower respiratory diseases fluctuate with sunlight where it’s worse in the winter time not only that but also heart disease by the way also and just about every disease on on this list here other than accidents seems to get worse in the winter time and that’s actually been looked at especially with
Covid-19 there was this study that was published in nature that looked at what about covid-19 made it get worse in the winter time in Europe was it the temperature humidity or latitude when they looked at temperature there was absolutely no correlation Flatline humidity no correlation Flatline but when they looked at
Latitude they found that the first surge happened in Finland and then ended up in Greece as the Autumn of 2020 went along showing that it’s really sunlight that causes these surges in covid-19 to occur they also looked at the United States England and Italy and it showed that the higher in
Latitude you were in these countries the worse the mortality rate you can see here covid-19 deaths per million and it correlated the highest numbers with the least amount of light coming in and this had nothing to do with vitamin D again these were parts of the country in the
Wintertime that they were not getting enough vitamin D so it had to be something else the authors of this study in conclusion said that given that the effect appears independent of a vitamin D pathway it suggests possible new covid-19 therapies Margaret scutch the geographist and myself put a paper together looking at this
Globally and found the same thing with these countries here in cluster 3 having a slightly better mortality rate than these red countries here in cluster 4 and the reason we believe is because of what’s going on at the A2 receptor so you can see here A2 is hit by the virus
And it stops the conversion of this prooxidant Angiotensin 2 to this antioxidant Angiotensin 17 this is supposed to really be be helping you and what it does is it blocks or shuts down reactive oxygen species when you’re in the sun melatonin helps out and blocks reactive oxygen species as well as
Melatonin at night when you’re sleeping and not exposing your eyes to Bright Light so this is the reason why we believe that during the day sunlight is so important because of melatonin that is produced on site in the mitochondria to prevent this reactive oxygen species and there’s been a number of studies
That have shown that in every age group in Co higher levels of F2 isoprostane which is a marker of oxidative damage so this is pretty well understood of course a lot of this could be Association so is there a randomized control trial looking at infrared light in covid-19 and the
Answer to that is yes this was a paper that was published at the end of December in 2022 and in this paper they used an LED jacket basically to produce near infrared light on patients with moderate covid that were hospitalized and what they found was that those that were randomized to the
Jacket being turned on had 4 days less admission better outcomes in terms of their hematological numbers so they had better lymphocytes they had better oxygenation better pulmonary function testing and overall got out of the hospital 4 days earlier I’ve had the opportunity to treat some patients in my local hospital
With covid-19 with this and notice what you see here is that when you’re outside generally speaking this is the spectrum of the Sun that you get and while it does have some near infrared light more than zero if you look here outside when you’re surrounded by green trees and
Leaves you get much higher levels of near infrared radi ation so being outside in the sunlight surrounded by green trees and leaves is going to give you a super boost of near infrared radiation this is what I believe is going on not only do we believe that near infrared radiation is beneficial
For covid but it’s also beneficial for a number of diseases because it has a final common pathway of improving melatonin and antioxidants in the mitochondria which we believe are are involved in a number of different infections so you might say that this is relatively new discoveries and in the
21st century it might be but if you look back this is something that people have done for a long time people were very good at observing outcomes based on interventions even though they might not have had the same technology as we have had observationally back in the early
1900s and in the 1800s it was well established that getting people outside into sunlight getting people outside into fresh air around green trees and leaves was shown to improve the health of the patients so in case you think that this is only good for for instance SARS kovi 2 and not
Influenza let me draw your attention here to the Harvard Kennedy School research titled sunlight and protection against influenza that was done by David J G slusky and Richard zeuser and you can see printed right in the abstract of their paper they say here that we find that sunlight strongly protects against getting
Influenza so let’s see here in addition to standard of care if sunlight is beneficial so if we came down with something of a pandemic nature that we’ve talked about here going to the hospital having the ability to have vaccinations medications things of that nature is going to be good but let’s see
If sunlight fits the criteria of something that we could add to that that would be robust against some of these incursions is it dependent on a supply chain it is not dependent on a supply chain it is not dependent on a diagnosis or test it’s not dependent on a
Pharmacist dispensing it it cannot be hoarded it’s widely available and free and as we’ve shown here it’s effective against the number of infectious agents by the way you can also look at some of our other videos such as light as medicine and the case for Co and also this one called infrared light
Neutralizes Spike toxicity it talks about how tolik receptor 4 is neutralized with sunlight and infrared radiation and that is the mechanism that is implied with Spike protein let’s talk about another intervention that one can do that fits those criteria and this one is hydrotherapy and this is encouraging a healthy and
Nate immune system response so there’s actually three barriers or three parts to your immune system of course there’s the physical barrier which is your skin and your mucosa and all those sorts of things and then what’s left is the annate immune system here and the Adaptive immune
System the Adaptive immune system is the part of the immune system that specifically gets proteins presented to it and makes antibodies we’re familiar with that because that’s how the vaccines seem to work however the anate immune system can recognize things that are foreign without actually having seen
Seen them before so that’s why it’s really important for your innate immune system to be working if this is SARS K2 or if this is influenza or if this is zika virus or marberg virus all of these infectious agents are going to be recognized as being foreign by the
Innate immune system and let me tell you the innate immune system is so powerful it’s so difficult to get around that for a human being to be infected by a virus the virus has to have some sort of neutralization system in place to neutralize aspects of the innate immune
System the one that is the most common if you look at different types of viruses is it neutralizes a specific aspect of the inate immune system that secretes interferon interferon is a substance that is secreted by your inate immune system that is very broad it is very powerful and it can overcome many
Many different types of viruses to give you an example interferon is the medication that we give we copy the body’s ability to make interferon and give it at higher Doses and this is the medication that we actually give patients with chronic hepatitis C which is caused by a virus to cure them
Interferon at high enough levels when given to patients with hepatitis C can actually cure a chronic viral infection that is how powerful interferon is as it turns out interferon is the barrier that viruses most often often like to neutralize let’s see how that turns out here very early on in the covid-19
Pandemic there was this paper that was published by Nancy Argo PhD and she says here that studies of SARS and Ms suggest that the interferent response is delayed compared with Corona viruses that cause mild disease and with milder cases of these two Corona viruses that can cause severe disease the patients with severe
SARS or severe mys had higher viral loads and delayed interferon responses thus it could be that the patients most susceptible to severe disease are those that cannot mount an effective early antiviral immune response the study of 50 patients with cases ranging from mild to severe found that gene expression
Profiles indicating type one and type 2 interferon responses were highest in patients with mild to moderate disease and were low in patients with severe or critical dis disease a similar difference in type 1 interferent activity was detected in the serum from patients patients with more severe disease had less type 1 interferon
Activity in their blood interferon is the Cornerstone of getting rid of viruses from the body and that is chiefly regulated by the innate immune system and here is a study that was published in the prestigious Journal science and you can see here very clearly that if you look at interferon
Levels that those with mild disease had the highest levels of interferon and those with critical disease had the lowest levels SARS K2 has a gene in it called Mac 1 that is specifically there to make an antagonize the body’s ability to get rid of it using interferon and here’s a
Study that looks at Mac 1 and what they did was they took this SARS CO2 and they made some mutations and deletions in this Mac one Gene and they want wanted to see how well it would infect humanized mice and they looked at the bronchial cells and the Alvar cells the bronchial
Cells are the tubes that go down into the lung and the Alvar cells are the cells at the bottom where gas exchange occurs and notice here what happens here we’re looking at all of the good things your innate immune system is going to secrete all of this cyto kindes and
Specifically interferon here we can see interferon as well we see that in blue is the wild type that’s WT that’s the normal situation notice that the wild type virus causes there to be a very small secretion of these interferons whereas when we do the Delta Mac 1 we
Put a mutation in Mac 1 so it can no longer do its dirty business we now have increases in interferon showing that it’s Mac 1 that allows this virus SARS K2 to do its dirty business without having to deal with interferon so scientists caught on to this and they
Thought well maybe we should just give injections of long acting interferon in patients to see if they would do better and in fact that’s exactly what they did this was a paper that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine titled early treatment with pegal interferon Lambda for covid-19 so what
Happens if we give interferon to patients with covid-19 do they get better do they get worse do we reduce hospitalizations let’s take a look yes indeed it did not matter if the patients were vaccinated or unvaccinated there was about a 50% reduction in hospitalizations or Ed visits showing
That if you either turn off the gene in the virus that suppresses interferon or if you can turn on interferon despite the gene in SARS K2 there is an improvement in the severity of the disease and a reduction in hospitalization the problem is you would need to have a supply chain to give
Subcutaneous interferon so what do we do we would like to find a way of increasing the body’s interferon without having to give a medication that requires a supply chain and so this paper that was published took human volunteers and they took their lymphocytes out of their body and
Subjected them to a stimulus similar to a viral infection at different body temperatures to find out which body temperature was the best in terms of secreting interferon remember interferon is that thing that we need to and to get rid of the viral infection and reduce hospitalizations so let’s
Take a look at that here’s interferon on the Y AIS and core body temperature and we’re starting off in Celsius 37 37.5 38 38.5 at 39 which is around 102° fight there was a tfold increase in interferon which was substantial here’s the amount of interferon released from lymphocytes after mitogen stimulation that simulates
A viral infection at different body temperatures and 39 was where it really took off and there are several ways of doing this so a hot bath otherwise known as hydrotherapy this is a photograph that was taken at the Battle Creek sanitarium back in the 1910s that’s just 100 years
Ago and Physicians were using this technique to get patients to increase interferent even though they had no idea that that was the mechanism but what they did know was that it worked by the way I would be remiss if I didn’t show you here in the same Battle
Creek sanitarium a light box so people could get light up there in Michigan in the wintertime here again hydrotherapy done at the Battle Creek sanitarium you can see it was very labor intensive it was not as easy as passing out medications but remember that there weren’t that
Many medications in 1910 and this was actually the state-of-the-art therapy because of research that was going on at the time and so you might say well hydrotherapy may work if it increases interferon for SARS K2 but what about some of the other major players of disease x what about influenza and so we
Have to remember that it was around this time in 1918 that we had the world’s very large pandemic in 198 which was influenza and a very smart upand cominging medical director of a sanitarium in the northeast of the United States a gentleman by the name of
Wells a rubble thought that this was an excellent opportunity to try out this technique of hydrotherapy on these patients with influenza and so that’s exactly what he did so in addition to rest fresh air getting them out into sunlight they also in their patients in the sanitarium did hydrotherapy on them
And we’ve talked about this before but you can see compared to the Army hospitals where there was Heavy use of aspirin the sanitariums had one 16th of the fatality rate that was going on in the Army hospitals and what were they doing hydrotherapy fresh air rest sleep Sunshine
Etc there was even a story of a number of students at a seminary that came down with the Spanish Flu where they were immediately started on hydrotherapy and amaz inly not a single student was lost to the disease this was not out of the ordinary this was actually the state-of-the-art
Treatments for a number of conditions there was a condition called neuros syphilis which was identified in a psychiatric institution by Dr Wagner yorg who found that patients who had high fevers seem to get better from their neuros syphilis and so you can see here Dr Wagner yorg this gentleman here
With his hands on this patient’s shoulder right here he’s the one that came up with this idea of injecting blood that was compatible with the patient with malaria to cause the patient to have high fevers now they had the treatment for malaria but what they were hoping is that the high fevers
Would induce the innate immune system and cause it to rise up and get rid of The neurosyphilis Chronic infection well that’s exactly what happened and because of this Dr Wagner yeg received the no prize in medicine in 1927 from the work that he had done back in
1917 ironically it was the very next year in 1928 that penicillin was discovered and Fleming got the Nobel Prize in that and you can imagine now that it was much easier to give medications to patients with infections than it was to do this laborious type of work of injecting
Malaria or doing hot tubs or hydrotherapy and so over the decades with the institution of randomized controlled trials and pharmaceutical companies it was much easier to pour resources into treating these diseases with medications and what was lost was the understanding and the Art of some of
These things that we used to do 100 years ago with Sunshine fresh air and hydrotherapy and the genius there is that we’re using the body’s ability to fight a number of different diseases but simply enhancing it and making it better able to deal with these diseases rather than depending 100% on medications that
Require a supply chain prescriptions and are not always available so let’s do our checklist for hydrotherapy let’s see if hydrotherapy fits the criteria here now is it dependent on a supply chain well you do need hot water and towels and so it would be a good idea to have at least
Those things available you know a sauna a hot tub these are also things that you might not be able to get at the time but if you have have them already it might be worthwhile it’s not dependent on a diagnostic test you don’t need a pharmacist to dispense it you can’t
Hoard hot water you can use it of course it’s available you do need a heat Source microwave or an oven or stove you can even use fire safely outside it’s widely available I would almost say it’s free depending on the fuel costs and as we said here it’s been shown to be useful
At least historically in things like the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic so I would say yes it does fit the criteria for being a hedge against when these things start to fall and having something as a backup if you want to learn more about hydrotherapy check out our video interfering Co and hydrotherapy new
Studies and those are the two major things that I wanted to talk about but there are other things that fit under that category let me just briefly mention it to you so we’ve talked about a number of things including sunlight and hydrotherapy but there are things
That we could talk about we could talk about nutrition there is a number of studies that we’ve talked about about that showed that a plant-based diet is actually Superior and found that the inflammation is less and the chances of getting severe covid is almost up to
Four times less when on a whole grain plant-based diet we’ve shown that exercise can improve inflammation reduce the incidence of upper respiratory diseases when done in a moderately ranged amplitude and not overdoing it we’ve shown that sleep is beneficial especially with antibody responses getting 7 to 8 hours per night and also
Fresh air and the fighten sides and the substances that are given off by trees and things of that nature again all of these things that we’re talking about here are things that do not need a supply chain a diagnosis or a test a pharmacist can’t be hoarded widely
Available and is effective against a number of infectious agents so I hope you’ve enjoyed this video I know it can be pretty scary but I want you to be aware that if these things are happening it’s going to be important to know how to not only help
