    Your ability to assemble relevant data and present a concise presentation is simply remarkable, Thank you

    Last night 7pm-7am shift I treated 16 Covid positive patients here in Mississippi. Most all have same complaint. Dizziness and either feel like they are going to pass out (near syncope) or actually passing out (syncopal episode). None had fever, none had respiratory symptoms, some had mild nausea. 50 % were vaccinated with at least 1 booster, the other 50% unvaccinated. None hospitalized and all were discharged. No prescriptions given other than symptomatic meds such as zofran for nausea. We are seeing an increase for sure in cases over last week but very low virulence. Over last 2 weeks none have returned with worsening symptoms. 97 test in 3 days and 45positive cases. Also only one admitted with severe copd, pneumonitis from previous infection. Also to note Very poor health appropriate to age. (51 years/old). The rest are really surprised that they are even testing positive. Just my observations in my local ER.

    My kid's pediatrician way back in the 70's told me fever is the body's way of killing off invaders so don't try to lower it unless it is over 103+. Guess he was right!
  • @carolreid876
    I was very engaged in your presentation not being a doctor but a retired nurse. I am a 72 y.o. black female and haven’t had COVID or any variants thus far and I am not vaccinated. I’ve consistently taken Vitamin D 3.(5-10,000IU daily), along with Vitamin C (1 ,000 mg daily). When I’ve thought I might have been exposed to the virus or a variant or showing possible symptoms of any kind I’ve taken 30,000 IU of Vitamin D3 and Oregano essential oil (10 drops or more) immediately along with use of garlic, onion , ginger, lemon , grapefruit and honey in the form of a tea or blended and eaten. I’ve also periodically taken other immune fighting supplements and changed to a plant based diet and as a result I am no longer a diabetic that was insulin dependent. I have heard of others that benefited from the contrasting showers and exposure to sunshine as well, after contracting the virus. Your presentation was very informative and I do thank you.
  • @kym1988
    I got sick with COVID. Mild symptoms. No Vaccine. I made it a point to walk outside twice a day for 15-30 mins a day. Increased my Vit D and C. I made sure to move around. I felt worse just laying down. I make it a point now to get as much sunshine as possible. Living in Texas helps with that tremendously!

    I've followed MedCram since the dark pandemic days of early 2020 and I weighed 313 pounds, with borderline type 2 diabetes. I was convinced that I would be susceptible to a severe Coronavirus infection and I was very worried If this helps anybody, I started a Ketogenic diet and followed intermittent fasting for 18 hours per day. In 10 months, I lost 103 pounds of body weight, whilst all of my bloods are now healthy. I'm still keto two years later. I am triple jabbed since November 2021 and I contracted the virus on a flight from Mexico I'm April 2022. I had 3 rough days and tested positive for 8 days straight. I completely believe that by following keto and I.F. I was able to reset my immune system and put myself in a much better position to tackle the virus. It's well worth the research.
  • I was in the hospital a lot from the ages of 2-7. The old hospitals had large sunrooms and porches. So it makes sense that more sunlight is good for the immune system.
  • I haven’t got Covid a single time from doing the protocols of vitamin d, Nac, magnesium, fish oil, and host defense mushrooms. I recently started adding PQQ for mitochondrial improvement. I am not vaccinated and comply with any mask wearing for respect for others. I have learned some important things from this channel and appreciate the content.
  • @OpenMind3000
    I can 100% confirm that hot showers do wonders during covid. I did this several times during my infections and it made me feel so much better...
  • @321southtube
    Paramedic of 30 years...I watch each and every episode and it's beneficial in so many ways. Mainly, I'm getting an education based on fact, science and reality not politicians, Twitter or Facebook. The problem is that the people who would most benefit from this either will not tune in or if so immediately turn a deaf ear. We've headed into a time of "information overload" and confirmation bias. Facts have become opinions and opinions have become facts. This series of videos is spot on, interesting and informative. The educated and uneducated alike would benefit from tuning in...and more importantly pay attention. I truly love the "wack a mole" comparison. Not only does it not take care of the issue...it further contaminates the trust of the conspiracy theorists, nay sayers and non believers. I have no education or basis on this but....it appears acute or untreated mental illness is one of our most significant challenges. You cannot introduce a fact, thought or a preferred behavior to someone who is "unstable/depressed". Sorry...rambling. Awesome information, presentation and content.
  • I remember early on in the Pandemic there was 110 or so old Italian man who had reportedly survived both the 1918 Flu Pandemic and at least the first variant of Covid 19. I hope someone spent some time looking at his immune responses, if possible, for guidance on some of the issues being discussed.
  • I went at 103.5 for a full 24 hrs before tapping out. I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk and I was beyond dehydrated. I was so dehydrated that I had no pee but I had the urge to. Its was the most insane 24 hrs of my life. I cried alot every joint, old injury and piece of cartilage in my body hurt. I had costochondritis. My husband had to carry my to the bathroom and bathe me, get me dressed to go to the ER. I got better within 3 days tho. All I have left is some light headaches and a little cough and I’m at 7 days today. The ginger tea and lemon was my secret weapon.
  • @emsmomma4606
    I’ve had severe dizziness and/or vertigo for the last week. Sometimes nausea due to the severity of the dizziness. And no, I did not get the shot. I do not have any other symptoms other than the severe dizziness. A couple days ago, my husband got ahold of the frontline docs, asked the typical health hx which I do not have anything to speak of. I’m a retired EMT, I was able to give my vitals, etc. I was prescribed Ivermectin,hydroxychloroquine, and prednisone. I was also told to take vit D3, C, zinc and Quercetin. Im on day two of taking my meds and am starting to feel a little better. The severe dizziness has finally stopped, but my head feels a little “wonky.”
  • Turkey tail mushrooms increase interferon-1. One of the reasons they have been investigated for cancer therapy. Might be helpful to take some every day to protect against severe covid disease.
  • @SherriSLC
    Thank you for these videos. We speak of people who have not contracted COVID at this point like they are rare, lucky creatures, but there are many people who are still very careful and avoid any opportunity to encounter the virus, and that's why we haven't gotten sick. It's not impossible.
  • @ymugalul
    I got BA.5 from late June to early July. It started with a high fever and fatigue for the first 2-3 days ( I took the test on day 3 and I was positive) then I lost my sense of smell and taste on day 4. The sore throat. cough and cold started on day 5. I battled it out by drinking lots of fluids until day 8 when I started getting my taste back and on day 10 I could smell better. I tested again on day 12 and I was negative but I still had a slightly dry/tickly cough. As of today, day 17, I am back to full health and strength. The first 2-3 days were very brutal though. sleepless nights, muscle pains, and fatigue. I am double vaxxed with Astra-Zeneca with my last shot in Aug 2021. I have not boosted and this was my first covid positive test since the pandemic started.
  • An absolutely remarkable scientist researcher & MD , Dr Seheult ability to explain the clinical data is so outstanding
  • @mitubogoogle
    Dr Seheult is the best medical lecturer in cyberspace
  • @innercore1131
    Been watching and learning from you since the beginning...your a national hero. Your wisdom and medical intelligence acumen is saving our citizens and our great country inspite of the failure of our national health "institutions". Simplicity always overcomes complexity. Your incisive diagnosis is kick ass! You have been touting the benefits of sunshine as a tool way before anyone...and I'm sure you surmised as much back in 2020. I have no way to reward you (and those like you, Campbell, Berg, countless other Sages) for all you have done...but God does.
  • @mamakarma1797
    I've been living with 2 people that tested positive last week and have yet to test positive. This covid is a complex thing, not cut and dried. We were all vaccinated and have had one booster. I am a Dr. John Campbell subscriber since day one, and appreciate this video information very much. Best summary I've seen - thank you :)
