Upon the introduction of genetically modified food-like products(GMOs) into our diets, the wary Townsend Letter-reading practitioner was on an all-systems-alert as to the potential hazards of these novel, unidentified proteins into the naive tummies of our children. Along with the rising levels of associated pesticides applied to these herbicide-tolerant crops, the concerns were validated as children developed a subsequent massive rise in gut disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux, abdominal pain/constipation, intestinal permeability, and dysbiosis. These changes have created a new baseline of immunologic mayhem for kids, with an unregulated state of chronic inflammation as a baseline. GMOs 2.0 (CRISPR/gene editing) ushered in an even more chilling scenario with an ominous casual lack of rigor and study regarding the potential effects of these new industrialized foods on health. The majority of eaters are unaware of the potential immunologic dysregulation awaiting them with each forkful eaten at the dinner table.

With the knowledge that GMO foods produce harm, the illogical next step followed, which is the injection of genetically engineered products into our children to create an immunologic response (from a non-threatening pathogen). The appropriate response should be ‘abort mission’. Instead, the government has decided that an experimental gene therapy with documented harm should now be administered to children and teens with the pending introduction into babies. The CEO of one of the manufacturers of these products, Albert Bourla of Pfizer, himself noted that indeed they are “gene edited products” in his conversation with the Atlantic Council. Instead of ‘abort mission’, we have pursued the path of injecting experimental mRNA therapies surrounded by nanoencapsulated PEG-containing mRNA biospheres into our children. This may have been the straw on the camel’s immunologic back.

The larger question is how these impacts might manifest in the clinical setting. Two of my recent patient visits underscore how unprecedented changes in immune function may present in the post-CoV-2 injection era. On the same afternoon, two different young women had clinic visits via Zoom with an almost identical presentation. Both women were 18 years old and recently began college, living in a dorm setting. They both reported persistent infections that they were unable to clear despite all the usual modalities. This was unusual as per both patients. Sarah had developed chronic sinusitis that would not clear despite a course of amoxicillin-clavulanate antibiotic and some supplement support with vitamins C and D after two months. The second patient, Anya, had a rattling cough that persisted several months, also treated with an antibiotic and a homeopathic cough formulation. Both gals were otherwise healthy, reported no other underlying medical conditions and claimed to eat well (although this may be dubious in a college setting). The only other similarity was that they had both received their second Pfizer vaccination one month prior to entering college as a mandatory requirement for in-person attendance at their respective colleges. Both women reported significant side effects after the second shot mostly consisting of headache and malaise. Of interest, both women also reported that although they felt “better,” neither felt as good as they felt prior to the injection.

Pre- and post-CoV-2 era has changed my practice of medicine. My suspicion is that the vaccine is responsible for impairing part of the immune system, but how that may happen is not clear. Is the spike protein causing secondary damage? How quickly should it have been broken down? What is the effect of the spike protein on bone marrow since it has an affinity for fatty tissue, and subsequent production of immune cells? Scanning the literature did not provide any solid studies showing the effects of the mRNA injection on subsequent immune function. However, many experts have spoken out regarding injection toxicity such as Dr. Ryan Cole and his demonstration of the vaccine effects in autopsies.1 Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA technology, raised serious concerns regarding mRNA vaccinology,2 and the former Pfizer VP, Michael Yeadon reported on the dangers of the mRNA injections as well.3 These are just a few of the many experts sounding alarms regarding the long-term side effects of this genetically engineered technology. It is important to note that a search on the internet would not have revealed any of these sources and only a savvy or questioning reader could figure out the sites where this information could be gleaned.


Back to the clinical drawing board…

While both patients had different infections and organ involvement, there was an apparent similarity regarding their baseline health, development of a persistent infection, and a history of the recently administered Pfizer shot. Other factors were also considered such as their new environments/diets and stress being additional determinants. These issues were also taken into consideration. Despite my suspicions, I could not 100% confirm how much of the injection played into their issues if at all. However, due to a significant number of teens reporting unusual health symptoms post jab in the office, my radar was up. The treatment formulation created was based on the idea that a multi-pronged integrative approach would be their best option.

Therapeutic goals included the following:
• Reduce possible bacterial/concomitant viral load
• Support immune function
• Bolster the microbiome
• Enhance nutrition
• Decrease stress

Because of their location, lack of the support they would have had at home, and somewhat limited finances, I created a cost-effective approach that would also be partially covered by their insurance plans.

Reduce possible bacterial/concomitant viral load. I prescribed azithromycin, the usual prescribed dosing for both gals, since it has been reported that it might have a chloroquine-like effect on respiratory epithelial cells via modulation of the pH of endosomes.4 The thinking was that if there was a spike protein involvement in their illness, azithromycin could have a dual-benefit. Because of pharmacy restrictions, obtaining other potential spike-protein binding drugs was nearly impossible.

Support immune function. I added Andrographis paniculata, a common Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic herb known to have antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, 400 mg two times a day. A meta-analysis of 33 studies published in 2017 showed that Andrographis was beneficial for relieving upper respiratory infections.5 Additionally, I added NAC, 900 mg daily and selenium, a component of antioxidant glutathione reductase at 200 mcg daily. I have found that in addition to its antioxidant capabilities, selenium also can boost both innate and adaptive immunity. Selenium would not have been one of my regular ‘go-to’ supplements in the past. However, it has been found that it can be a key nutrient in fending off the development of viruses.6 In the case of my two patients, I suspected there may have been multiple organisms involved.

Bolster the microbiome. Not wanting to wipe out their microbial flora (which they already had and I was about to induce further harm), I began Saccharomyces boulardii to prevent Clostridium difficile overgrowth, and a probiotic containing strains of Lactobacilli rhamnosus, L. plantarum and various Bifidobacteria species daily ongoing. L. plantarum PS128 has become one of my favorite probiotics to include due to its effect on stress and mental health.7

Enhance nutrition. This may have been one of the hardest aspects to cover consider that they were both eating college food, which was not organic and carbohydrate heavy. I decided that the best thing I could do was to add an organic supplement that they could easily mix up, containing protein and a green superfood powder.

Decrease stress. To start off a new college, first semester, sick for the first two months and not have the usual support systems in place created additional stressors for both of these patients. A discussion ensued on how best we could optimize their care while they recovered. A call to both of the RAs in their dorms provided the additional support they needed. Also, letters to their academic advisors creating modified academic work schedules while they recovered also provided a sigh of release for both Sarah and Anya.

I would still like to believe in happy endings, unicorns, and fairies, but as we all know not everyone responds to our best efforts. Sarah, the patient with sinusitis, had to take a leave of absence and come home for the rest of the semester while recovering. However, Anya, the patient with a persistent cough, got better within two days of treatment and is back to her base line even several months later.

A persistent question in my mind is whether children will be able to navigate the usual course of pathogens they encounter having been subjugated to experimental gene/immune altering therapies. It is clear that there should be an immediate cessation of gene-edited injectables until quality, unbiased research is performed. However, there are many teens who have already been subjected to this live experiment and may need ongoing support. Practitioners should consider in addition to recommending their usual protocols, the addition of some of the following supplements to increase NK cells, which can fend off CoV-2 as well as other viral infections:

• Turmeric • Garlic
• Ginseng • Echinacea
• Resveratrol • Ashwagandha
• Andrographis • Medicinal mushrooms
• Vitamin C (i.e., Reishi and cordyceps)
• Glutathione • Probiotics (S. Boulardii)
• NAC, Vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid

In sum, genetically engineered products have been released not only in our food supply, but also as mandatory injectable medicinals in children without adequate health assessments. This has occurred with the understanding that recapture is impossible. The looming question is how will these gene therapies ultimately affect our children? In April of 2021, a chilling direct quote from the financial statement from BioNTech (Pfizer’s partner) regarding the “CoV-2 vaccine” made a confirming declaration: “mRNA therapies are classified as gene therapy medicinal products”; so by the company’s own admission, children are being administered yet another gene therapy, not a vaccination, without any investigation of the health sequelae.8

The most effective way to care for kids and their immunologic well-being is to speak up on behalf of children while helping families navigate and decipher health fact from fiction.
