📝 A QUESTION PEOPLE OFTEN ASK 📝

How/Why Do People Recover If There's Still No Proven Cure For COVID-19?
_________________________

📢 ANSWER :

Most respiratory viruses-- including Corona viruses such as the ones that causes the Common Cold -- are self-limiting, so to say.

What this means is that they have a relatively finite period in the human body before they "wear themselves out," or the immune system contains them, and the sufferer recovers.

Treatment for these viruses is thus mostly aimed at;

1. Relieving symptoms, in order to make the sufferer comfortable.

2. Keeping the infected person alive by supporting organ systems attacked and impaired by the virus.

Most times, treatment is not aimed at curing such viral illnesses, by attacking the virus itself. This is partly because they're self-limiting, and partly because developing antiviral medication is darn difficult due to the fact that they mutate so rapidly, and are more or less like shape shifters. Ergo, if you develop a treatment against this form today, tomorrow they may mutate into a form resistant to said treatment.

So, the best form of treatment for such viruses is prevention, either by modification of social and lifestyle habits, to break the chain of transmission; or by vaccination.

If someone however becomes infected, treatment, as the immune system slugs it out with the virus, is usually supportive, and not definitive.

_________________________

Before we move on to COVID-19, I want to make a distinction and clarification between two forms of treatments- supportive treatment, and definitive treatment.

📢 DEFINITIVE/SPECIFIC TREATMENT

In the context of infectious diseases, definitive treatment entails treatment targeted specifically at the offending organism, aimed at eliminating it from the body. Once this is done, the body-- through its repair mechanisms, heals itself of the damage already caused by the organism, and the person recovers.

An example is use of antimalarial drugs to treat Malaria, and antibiotics to treat bacterial infections.

📢 SUPPORTIVE TREATMENT

This, in the context of infectious diseases, is treatment not aimed at eliminating the organism, but relieving its symptoms, and supporting vital bodily functions already compromised by it, while waiting for, or hoping that, the immune system will contain said infection.

So, if the person is having a distressful cough, you may have to give cough syrups to suppress it; if there's fever, you may have to use anti-pyretics, such as paracetamol, to relieve it; if in pain, analgesics may be used generously to make the patient more comfortable; etc.

If the infection compromises the function of certain vital organ systems, and the person is at risk of dying without optimal functioning of said system, you support the organ's function:

- For failing lungs; oxygen, and ventilators, may be needed.

- For cardiovascular collapse; fluids, and vaso-pressors may be given.

- For kidney failure; dialysis may come in handy.

Etc.

By doing these, you may be able to keep the body going, while the immune system wages battle against the offending organism.

If by the time the immune system is able to win the war and contain the infection, you have managed , through your supportive treatment, to keep the person alive, the person recovers.

However, if the damage caused by the organism in its wake is too much, and your supportive treatment couldn't keep the person alive to see the end of the battle between immune system and bug, the person dies.

_________________________

📝 COVID-19

For COVID-19, the "finite" period of battle between immune system and virus is usually between 2 to 6 weeks-- up to 8 weeks in some instances, depending on the competence/resilience of the person's immune system, among other things.

If one is able to withstand the onslaught of the virus within this period, the person would pull through, sometimes without any treatment, other times with supportive treatment, all depending on the severity of the disease.

To put this in context, COVID-19 has 5 clinical variants BASED ON SEVERITY;

1. Asymptomatic Form.

In this form, one gets infected without manifesting any symptom whatsoever. The person thus ends up just as a mere carrier, spreading the infection to others.

2. Mild Disease.

Some people would get the virus, but just have upper respiratory tract infection, with symptoms such as sneezing, mild fever, cough, malaise, etc; and recover rapidly, with or without any supportive treatment.

3. Moderate Disease.

This group would go on to develop lower respiratory tract infection, with pneumonia, and would need some supportive treatment, but may not be sick enough to need oxygen therapy.

4. Severe Disease.

This group develop Pneumonia, and get so sick that they would need oxygen therapy.

5. Critical Disease

This group of patients get so bad, and develop A.R.D.S, and ventilatory respiratory failure, so much that they would need a ventilator to survive, without which they'd definitely die.

📢 NB

This classification is based solely on the effect of the virus on the respiratory system, its primary target in the body. That however doesn't mean that the virus only affects the lungs.

_________________________

The form of the disease one develops depends on a host of factors including;

1. Immune status.

2. Age.

3. Presence of other co-morbidities, such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Cancer, Chronic Lung Diseases, etc.

People with asymptomatic and mild to moderate forms of the disease don't need much help to recover; sometimes they're even advised to stay at home, especially in countries whose Hospitals are already overwhelmed, and are managed with minor conservative/supportive measures to relieve symptoms such as fever, headache, chest pain, and cough.

People with severe and critical forms of the disease would need Hospital admission and a lot of supportive measures, including oxygen therapy, ventilators, anti-shock therapy-- if necessary, and the full compliment of ICU care.

If conservative measures are enough to sustain the person, the person could still pull through even without specific antiviral therapy.

_________________________

📢 CONCLUSION

Hope I've been able to make you understand how recovery is possible, even without a definitive cure.

Now you know.

-------------------------------------------

Just in case you were wondering, I intentionally didn't want to dabble into the controversies surrounding touted specific antiviral remedies such as the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin combination, Kaletra/Alluvia, Arbidol, etc; because whatever influence they have on prognosis doesn't negate the submissions made here.

RHESUS FACTOR INCOMPATIBILITY A LEADING CAUSE OF MISCARRIAGE!
(MUST READ)

Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+ are said to be rhesus Factor positive, while those who have the Rh “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB– are said to be rhesus factor negative . The “+” and “-” in front of the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–, O+ and O–. Rhesus factor is genetic in nature. It is inherited from the parents, emphatically the father.

How does Rhesus Factor cause miscarriage?

If a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh–, there wouldn’t be any problem. However, if a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh+, there would be a problem if the baby inherits Rh+ from the father . We have here what is medically called Rhesus Factor Incompatibility. The baby would obviously be Rh+. During child birth, once the baby’s Rh+ comes in contact with the woman Rh- during delivery, the antibodies are immediately activated by the woman’s body’s immune system.

The activated antibodies would see the new Rh+ as foreign body or a threat and consequently they would be at alert to attack and get rid of the foreign body. Unfortunately as such, after this particular child birth, the woman would keep having miscarriages because the activated antibodies would see subsequent Rh+ pregnancies as foreign bodies and would keep fighting and taking them off.

Women with Rh activated antibodies are said to be Rh sensitized and once these antibodies are activated , they can never be deactivated until the woman dies. Rh induced antibodies are activated in a Rh- woman by child birth, abortion, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

If a Rh– woman commits an abortion for a Rh+ man and the antibodies are activated in her system, the woman might end up childless throughout her life except if she later marries another man with with the same Rh–. The possibility of a Rh– woman finding a Rh– man is slim as about 85% of human beings are Rh+. This is a warning to our young girls who commits abortions all in the name of boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

If you’re a woman with Rh– and your fiance is Rh+, and you haven’t committed abortion for him and you don’t want to leave him, then, you need to take note of the following:

In order to prevent the activation of the antibodies, doctors would give women in this category an injection called Rhogam during and after pregnancy to prevent spontaneous abortion due to Rhesus factor incompatibility. The injection is normally administered 28 weeks into pregnancy, 72 hours after delivery, after ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or abortion. If the injection is not administered and the antibodies are activated, they would never be deactivated again!

In many African cultures up till today, women who are so unfortunate to find themselves having serial spontaneous abortions due to Rhesus factor incompatibility are considered witches by some of their people. Some of the women would accuse their in-laws of being behind their predicament.

So, if you’re a woman with Rh– , you need to be very careful. It might be difficult for you to get a husband with a Rh– because about 85% of human beings are Rh+. So, in order not to find yourself in the aforementioned problem, put all that have been said at the back of your mind and go for genetic counselling. If you have a daughter or a sister with Rh–, counsel them on Rhesus Factor Incompatibility and the dangers lying therein.

It should also be noted that a Rh– person(man or woman) cannot receive blood donation from a Rh+ person even if they have the same blood group. The consequence of such blood transfusion is fatal. It would lead to death as the blood would clot. This is due to the incompatibility in their Rhesus factor.

Know your Rhesus factor today!

CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO PREVENT BECOMING A BURDEN TO YOUR CHILDREN (40 - 90yrs of AGE)

As we grow older, say from 40 years up to 65. There is nothing better than a total life style change to preserve us and keep us healthy.

After 40 if a person still wants to keep living like a child, he or she might not make it passed middle age. If however such individuals make it, while living like children, then they might suffer a lot of health problems as they age.

One of the first things someone over forty years should consider, will be a life of moderation.

Drink moderately or avoid it completely, eat healthy and wisely, lots of fiber rich natural foods vegetables fruits etc avoid industry mass produced foods bcos of lots of unhealthy feed additives not on label, sleep enough and don't deprive yourself of sleep because of partying, hanging out and all such youthful desires lust p**n non essentials and occupations.

Regular exercises should not be missed. Because at the age of forty and above the vital organs of a human being will need some aiding to function properly through exercising.

Any man or woman who after 40 still consumes alcohol like a little boy or girl and indulge freely in all the things he or she did at age 20, or say 25, does not understand that the body is no more the same as it used to be.

Many deaths, stroke, erectile dysfunction issues, heart problems, etc, that occur amongst middle age people today, can be avoided if people of this age group will just embark on a life style change.

I have seen friends, neighbours and relatives who like me are middle agers but suffer like old men, die relatively early, play with so much Vi**ra because of erectile problem. This ought not to be so. Lifestyle change is the answer.

At middle age a lot of changes takes place in us, living us not as strong as we used to be before, therefore we can't put unnecessary pressures that only youthful bodies can take, on our aging bodies.

Eating time should be reduced to 7pm, because anything after 8pm is poison to the system of a middle aged person.
Red meat (e.g. beef) should be substituted with white meat e.g. poultry and fishes).
Sugar, iced cold water, lots of salt, should be avoided. Load up on high-fiber fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Your whole digestive system does slow as you age, so fiber is very important. Consume fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruit, and vegetables. They will help you feel more energetic and give you fuel to keep going.

Regular check up on our blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, breast, prostrate and so on will be very helpful. use natural med than synthetics.

Bless you all fellow middle agers, we have gotten to that stage when we don't think of every other person and leave ourselves unattended to, think of yourself more now, you need you to stay well.

After the age of 50 one may experience many types of illnesses. But the one I am most worried about is Alzheimer's. Not only would I not be able to look after myself, but it would cause a lot of inconvenience to family members.

One day, my son came home and told me that a doctor friend has taught him an exercise using the tongue. The tongue exercise is effective to reduce the onset of Alzheimer's and is also useful to reduce/improve the following:
*1* Body weight
*2* Hypertension
*3* Blood-Clot in Brain
*4* Asthma
*5* Far-sightedness
*6* Ear buzzing
*7* Throat infection
*8* Shoulder / Neck infection
*9* Insomnia

The moves are very simple and easy to learn. Each morning, when you wash your face, in front of a mirror, do the exercise as below:

*stretch out your tongue and move it to the right then to the left for 10 times*

Since I started exercising my tongue daily, there was improvement in my Brain Retention.
My mind was clear and fresh and there were other improvements too.

1 Far sightedness lesser
2 No giddiness
3. Improved wellness
4. Better digestion
5. Lesser flu / cold

I am stronger and more agile.

The tongue exercise helps to control and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Medical research has found that the tongue has connection with the BIG Brain. When our body becomes old and weak, the first sign to appear is that our tongue becomes stiff and often we tend to bite ourselves.
Frequently exercising your tongue will stimulate the brain, help to reduce our thoughts from shrinking and thus achieve a healthier body.
As you reach the age of 50, you should also know that your libido will reduce. Your s*x performance will totally reduce. *Nonetheless, you still need to exercise yourself with s*x, especially in the morning with your spouse.Regular s*x will keep you fit and agile,* but don't over use yourself with several rounds at a go.
Prayer is another factor for the secret of good living, think less, pray more. Much thoughts may result to stroke, amnesia and all forms of psychological challenges. Silent prayers and scriptural meditations will also assist your aging.

Senior Citizens. "Doctors encouraged each person receiving this newsletter to forward it to another ten people, hopefully and by HIS grace at least one life will be saved ... I've done my part, I hope you can help do your part.

Thanks!

GHS FACTS ABOUT YELLOW FEVER VACCINE

Friday, November 30
GHSPR/18/0025

*Ongoing...*
*Free Mass Yellow Fever Vaccination...*

▪Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The "yellow" in the name refers to the jaundice that affects some patients.

▪Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
*Report such symptoms to a nearby health facility*

▪A small proportion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days.

▪The virus is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America.
Large epidemics of yellow fever occur when infected people introduce the virus into heavily populated areas with high mosquito density and where most people have little or no immunity, due to lack of vaccination. In these conditions, infected mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti specie transmit the virus from person to person.

The need for Yellow Fever Vaccination

▪Yellow fever is prevented by an extremely effective vaccine, which is safe and affordable, or possibly free.

▪The vaccine provides effective immunity within 10 days for 80-100% of people vaccinated, and within 30 days for more than 99% of people vaccinated

People who are usually excluded from the vaccination include:

▪Infants aged less than 9 months
▪pregnant women – except during a yellow fever outbreak when the risk of infection is high;
▪people with severe allergies to egg protein; and
▪people with severe immunodeficiency due to symptomatic HIV/AIDS or other causes, or who have a thymus disorder

Note:
▪Target group for the ongoing Yellow Fever Vaccination is 10 years to 60 years

After having the vaccine, up to one in every three people gets:

▪headache
▪muscle pain
▪mild fever
▪soreness at the injection site
▪General ill feeling

These side effects usually pass within two weeks.

NB:
▪Only selected *65 districts in 9 regions* will benefit from the ongoing exercise. The remaining districts will benefit in 2019
▪Upper West Region has already been vaccinated. Hence the exemption

Go to the Nearest Vaccination Post or Health Center from November 28 to December 4 and get vaccinated

Get vaccinated; Be Protected against Yellow Fever

HAPATITIS B
PHYLLANTUS AMARUS, effective cure to Hepatitis B

Please just look around your compound or surrounding this morning, you will eventually see this plant, so common but very powerful.
I post this plant most especially for hapatitis B patients. Take it and thank me later
This plant is found everywhere and has been proven as God’s blessing for the healing of our various diseases and sickness. It has been proven to contain 25 chemical properties and actions. You can find it in the road sides, gardens, cultivated areas, dwelling places e.t.c. it is about 30-60cm high with numerous oblong and feathered small green leaves. It is arranged in 2 rows with longitudinally ribbed seeds at the back.

RESEARCH FINDINGS ON ITS USEFULNESS FOR LIVER & HEPATITIS
Research findings from India and China shows that it acts primarily on LIVER thus confirming its historical use as a remedy for JAUNDICE.

Research also shown that it cleared 22 out of 37 chronic HBV patients in only 30days and they were continuously tested negative for consecutively 9months after. Children with chronic hepatitis also had their LIVER return to normal within 5days of consumption.××

RESEARCH FINDINGS ON ITS USEFULNESS FOR KIDNEY STONE
In Brazil& Indonesia, this plant is primarily considered for the treatment of kidney stones. In 1990, it was reported that DR. Wolfram Wieman use the plant to treat over 100 kidney stone patients with 94% of them successfully cured within a week or two.

RESEARCH FINDINGS ON ITS USEFULNESS FOR OTHER DISEASE
For 100s of years, Indians have treated Asthma & Bronchitis with it. It has also been reported by researchers that it has chemical components to fight allergy and helps patients with AIDS to feel better.
In 1993, it was researched in San Marcos University that it contains antibacterial over E.coli, Klebsiella, and Pneumonia & Protus Mirabilis.

In Bahamas, it is been used mainly to treat poor/low appetite, constipation, typhoid, flu & cold.
In India, it is been used mainly to treat snake bites, diabetics, and produce intestinal analgesic and liver drugs especially Liv.52.
In south East Asia & Caribbean, it is been used mainly to treat malaria, febrifuge, syphilis & blood purification.

MODE of CONSUMPTION
 Infusion (hot tea)
 Decoction (boiled tea)
 Macerations (cold soaking)

IT’S PREPARATION FOR HEPATITIS B

Boil one handful of the plant with 1litre of water in a pot with good fitting lid on a medium to heat for 15minutes.

NOTE:
If you can see the steam escaping or smell the aroma, that means your lid is not tight enough and valuable properties are escaping.
It can be stored in refrigerator after you might have strained the leaves and seeds out hence it goes bad after 3days.
You can boil enough quantity and keep in the fridge but it should not exceed one week

DOSAGE:

Half or one full cup to be taking 2 times daily on empty stomach for 30 days consistently. Children to take a quarter of adult dose.
After 30 days go for test again, if still any trace of hapatitis in your system continue treatment for two weeks and test again.
All traces of hapatitis B in your system will disappear completely after this treatment.
