RBCs rouleaux formation, mineral deficiency.

Severe blood clotting after the 2nd jab is likely, especially with strong EMF and mineral deficiency. Increase in globulin proteins may be involved in the rouleaux, red blood cell stacking seen w GO & post jab blood smears.

Red blood cells from the same person before and after the CoV injections. (2)

Rouleaux formation (Red blood cells, RBCs, stacking like a tower of coins) happens more often in equine blood cells than human due to a difference in the strength of the electrical charge on the surface proteins. The sialic protein of their blood cells has a weaker negative charge – less strength to repel other negatively charged blood cells.

  • “Horse red blood cells are thought to form rouleaux because they have decreased negative charge (altered zeta potential) on their red blood cells.” (1)

Video about the stacking effect after jabs, especially after the second. The narrative in French switches to English shortly into the video. (2) The rouleaux stacking of RBCs was more likely when EMF was present and the blood had low mineral levels. {*Magnesium has a protective effect against EMF activation of TRP calcium channels. post} The clotting was found to be so thick after the second shot that it was deadly. Blood doesn’t even flow from a finger stick when they take samples from a CoV double injected person. (2)

“Erythrocytes account for about 66% of the manganese in whole blood, whereas the “buffy coat”–platelets and leukocytes–accounts for about 30%.” (3)

The buffy coat layer of the blood only makes up 1% of the total blood volume, (4), and red blood cells do not have mitochondria so the difference in manganese is likely the difference in mitochondrial MnSOD. The erythrocytes 99% of the blood, the RBCs, have 66% of the blood manganese, while the 1%, platelets and white blood cells have 30%. (3, 4)

Manganese Superoxide dismutase, MnSOD, is necessary for survival.

Lab mice and fruitflies bred to have a defective gene for making MnSOD did not survive. Mice with one of the two copies defective and one functional survive but are more at risk from oxidative stress.

  • “Studies using mice (182) and fruit flies (40) demonstrated that MnSOD gene knockout is lethal; while MnSOD heterozygous mice with haplo-insufficiency can survive but are more susceptible to oxidative injury (169, 171). The crucial role of MnSOD in protecting cells against oxidative stress has been extensively studied and thoroughly reviewed (75, 89, 123, 130, 150, 161), pointing to the critical roles of MnSOD in maintaining cellular physiology in response to genotoxic conditions, such as oxidative stress.” (5)

Manganese may have been a causal factor in the UK outbreak of Mad Cow prion disease, CJDv.

Organophosphate chemicals can include metals and may have been a causal factor of Mad Cow Disease, however the research was suppressed in the UK instead of being further studied for confirmation. (6, 7) Toxic manganese can be one of the problem metals. (6)

My reply: I have been wondering if the graphene o. is affecting manganese in platelet’s mitochondria > rouleaux effect. and maybe that would cause the manganese to be in a dangerous form instead of beneficial as in the CJD research you linked to.

There has been a case of prion disease with an onset shortly after having CoV injections. (8) A COVID19 patient also had prion disease develop. (9) The spike protein may be a risk factor for prion disease developing. (10, 11)

  • “On July 12, a second lumbar puncture came back positive for CJD — a prion disease. Cheryl’s tau protein value was 38,979 pg/ml, while the spectrum for CJD positive patients is 0 – 1,149.” (8)

The injection version of the spike protein was modified and may be more dangerous rather than less so. (15) The S1 subunit can separate and both S1 and S2 subunits may lead to misfolded proteins. The S1 part can be released free from the cell while the S2 part stays connected and the interaction with surface proteins may also be recognized as an autoimmune protein.

  • “But it’s far worse, as the vaccines do not cause your body to make the same spike protein as SARS-CoV-2 but one that has been genetically modified, making it far more toxic.” – Long-Term Damage from COVID Vaccination (15)
  • Screening for prion disease in CoV injected people with symptoms is a plan in the works, contact person, Adam Gaertner https://twitter.com/veryvirology/status/1433968726609596420?s=19

Graphene oxide is stable chemically but may be involved in unusual physiology, if the system is chemically unstable due to EMF or mineral deficiencies. We don’t know what we don’t know.

Graphene oxide as an ingredient of the nano-lipoparticles in the injections may also be a factor in prion risk, (12), if it is effecting manganese in platelets. (6) Manganese superoxide dismutase and graphene oxide are reactive and combinations are being studied for medication use (13), and for industrial use. (14)

Booster jabs will likely keep increasing the risk of the severe RBC stacking reaction as it would be adding more graphene oxide with each dose. Clearing graphene oxide from our bodies may not occur readily as it is very stable chemically.

Mineral deficiency of magnesium or manganese may be a risk factor for the rouleaux effect.

EMF fields plus graphene oxide content in a mineral deficient person may be combined factors in the rouleaux effect seen in platelets of CoV injected patients. (2) Magnesium helps prevent calcium entry into cells or mitochondria which can overactivate them and cause harm if excessive, possibly caused by a strong EMF device. Deficiency would increase risk. Deficiency in manganese would also increase risk of oxidative stress within mitochondria as MnSOD is the main antioxidant within mitochondria. (16)

Excerpt from a paper about 5G EMF https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ojIE24GOLmSeDgImDdo_MH8Bcf7WU7KZ/view

Nrf2 deficiency may increase risk for lack of MnSOD as it promotes our production of the antioxidant.

Manganese superoxide dismutase is something we have to make for ourselves – and the increased need for it during increased oxidative stress explains the benefit of Nrf2 promoting nutrients mentioned in a recent post. The Nrf2 gene and protein promote our own production of MnSOD. (16) We would also need manganese, and magnesium. (17)

Early data suggests 3rd jabs are hockey sticking the death rate (exponential increase) (18):

“3rd dose launched on July 30th“, @MConceptions (18)

An autopsy had to be personally paid for, as well as being demanded and sought out. The autopsy did show the sudden death was due to the CoV injections the person had been given. (19) How can we “Follow the science” if basic procedures such as autopsy is not being performed? And in the case of sudden deaths that are occurring during a medical experiment? All adverse events during a medical experiment should be studied in depth and recorded. Instead autopsy and research seems to be being prevented?

Illegal directives need to be resisted, not complied with, a unified show of resistance by the people is needed.

Unity and strength is needed. The way to fight illegal directives, not passed by Congress, or not Constitutional, is to not comply. An apology later is not going to help an injury, and is unlikely to appear. Teamwork by many, many people is the way to turn down the government or business direction to keep jabbing, or to have jab ID’S- the jabbed need to not accept a ‘privilege’ based on their status, and not participate in an apartheid system.

Image of an Immunization card that is cut in half – apartheid rules need to be resisted.

Aids, notes:

Magnesium – essential for eighty percent of our body’s chemistry.

Epsom salt, magnesium sulfate, is a well absorbed form for topical soaks. Poor intestinal absorption can be a problem, especially if there is a gene difference in the TRPM6 ion channel gene.

Epsom salt soak, 20-40 minutes with a handful, one cup of magnesium sulfate
(a type of salt that isn’t Table salt, Sodium chloride).

Iver who?

The coronavirus gene treatment approval was based on there being no available treatments. Emergency Use Approval requires an emergency with no treatments.

MANY things can help reduce severity or risk of viral infection.

Hydroxychloroquine, and more recently, Ivermectin, are being given negative media attention, an misleading tactics to reduce use or interest in Ivermectin. Meanwhile, Japan is now recommending use of Ivermectin. Contaminants were found by the Japanese in many vial of the injections that were sampled that were reactive to magnets.

Testing elsewhere found a type of live parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, (Chagas Disease), that can cause a myocarditis condition, which can be treated by the anti-parasitic medication IVERMECTIN.

Hmmmm

“Japan is now issuing Ivermectin for all COVID patients, but the CDC says it doesn’t work.” – meme, by unknown source. Thanks.

Contaminants report, shared in part, here: (https://me64p71b7e.substack.com/p/contaminants-in-the-vaccines?r=hjhk4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy)

Contaminants in medical products is not a new issue. Smog in industrial areas contains nanoparticles of heavy metals among other aerosolized particles such as virus. Making quality soup is harder then it looks. Imagine making sterile biologic goo, and lots of tiny bottles, having to fill them and seal them in a sterile method with no microscopic dust fragments – in a world where the air itself has metal nanoparticles & virus – a quality product is not easy.

Rushing the development of the production methods and having to switch from smaller early batches to enormous mass production batches would also increase contaminant risk from the mRNA possibly having more fragmented variations than the desired sequence.

I’m not trying to defend contamination in medical products. Simply – this is not a first time, or unknown problem. It is a big problem really, the air, smog issue in industrial places – not good for injected product quality. This is an industry wide issue >> My goal would be to limit the total number of injectable treatments – preserve skin integrity is a goal of dietetics – prevent skin breakdown outside or in.

List of types of contaminants found by CoV injection brand. – Source and validity unknown, except it does seem similar to the report details that I read.

Myocarditis causes lasting heart damage and seems to occur more frequently in younger age groups, leaving the young people with heart damage for the rest of their lives.

Myocarditis cases by age group.. Source unknown.

Herd immunity & the Nuremberg Code.

Herd immunity is about herds of animals that got sick, and got better.

This is an email reply that I just sent, the quote is from the organization’s fundraising request that I received:

Dear MoveOn, 
“But experts say that we need 80% or more of the population to be vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity—a goal that may be hard to reach if we don⁠’t fight back against the rampant lies, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about the vaccine being spread by Donald Trump and the right wing.2” < that is false. Survivors of CoV have a stronger natural immunity then the vaccinated would have and herd immunity is a concept that initially was based on a herd of animals that got sick, and then recovered with natural immunity – if 80% get sick and recover, then the illness tends to fade away, and the other 20% are protected. 
COVID-19 Is Probably Lab Grown, Nobel Prize Winner Says – His Claims Are Rejected by the Scientific Community – -note the date – April 18, 2020 -> listening to Nobel Prize winning scientists is a good idea. https://ponderwall.com/index.php/2020
Science requires listening to scientists. The rampant lies have been spread by Dr. Fauci and others. 
I am a concerned citizen of the US and traditional Democratic supporter – but coercion to get an experimental and dangerous product is Nazi like – I cannot support anyone who doesn’t follow the Nuremberg code. I am not a Nazi. The Democrats seem to be now. Truly, check yourselves.

Sincerely, 
Jennifer Depew, RD

Bipartisan lying is going on though, I was listening to a conservative talk show host this morning, who went on and on about how the Democrats are communists — no, truly, no, they are oligarchs – working for the sake of rich people and corporations. The current Democratic Party is not communist at all, nor very democratic either based on the way primaries are run.

For Review:

  • The Nuremberg Code and its impact on clinical research. (massdevice.com)

“What Are The Nuremberg Code’s Ethical Guidelines For Research?“

“The Nuremberg Code aimed to protect human subjects from enduring the kind of cruelty and exploitation the prisoners endured at concentration camps. The 10 elements of the code are:

  1. Voluntary consent is essential
  2. The results of any experiment must be for the greater good of society
  3. Human experiments should be based on previous animal experimentation
  4. Experiments should be conducted by avoiding physical/mental suffering and injury
  5. No experiments should be conducted if it is believed to cause death/disability
  6. The risks should never exceed the benefits
  7. Adequate facilities should be used to protect subjects
  8. Experiments should be conducted only by qualified scientists
  9. Subjects should be able to end their participation at any time
  10. The scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment when injury, disability, or death is likely to occur.“

Shedding of the spike protein – a communicable prion disease risk?

There has been concern shared by un-CoV-vaccinated women about having experienced menstrual changes after being around people who had received a CoV injection. A breast fed baby died after the breastfeeding mother received a CoV injection – yes it might be random coincidence, but maybe it wasn’t, maybe something was transmitted in the mother’s breast milk.

The spike protein itself has been found to cause blood clotting problems as it can cause cells to fuse together into clumps – which would be clot like. Anemia and renal inflammation were found in a person who experienced health symptoms after a “Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine 24 days before“. (10)

This article is brief and is fact checking a claim that the Pfizer vaccine can be shed. It states that it cannot be transmitted between people: ‘Vaccine shedding’: No, COVID-19 vaccine does not spread by inhalation or skin contact (2) Well of course not, the vaccine includes a complex lipid coated nanoparticle encasing the mRNA – which of course can not be transmitted between people.

The real question, and concern is – can the spike protein be transmitted? The mRNA encodes for a slightly modified version of the spike protein, which would be produced by the person’s own cells – and have to be cleared by their detoxification system. Someone with poor detox function may have spike protein lingering in their blood plasma longer than someone with normal function.

“The consensus appears to be that we are dealing with a spike protein transmission from injected to non-injected. The Pfizer documents in particular refer to a known chance that this could occur through skin to skin contact or through exhalation. Most of the folks I know seem to lean more toward exhalation.” (6)

Then if the spike is released on a person’s skin or in exhaled air, then if someone else was exposed to enough of it, there might be symptoms. Blood clotting or other changes might be due to the stickiness, hook like effect, that clumps cells together. Spike protein is a toxin. Please stop trusting the experiment.

Other risks might involve the prion like ability of the spike protein to cause other proteins to also misfold, which may then cause others to misfold in a cascading effect. Prion like concerns about the spike protein.

Blood changes and menstrual changes may occur because it was found that the gene carrying lipid nanoparticles collect within bone marrow and ovaries – so within the injected person there would be more spike production in the bone marrow and ovaries. In someone who was just nearby a CoV injected person, it is unknown what would happen to any spike protein that was inhaled or ingested. Intestinal symptoms may also be a result of spike protein attaching to ACE2 receptors on cells lining the intestines.

People may be getting different symptoms due to personal genetic and nutritional differences. They may also have received different batches of the experimental treatments. Pfizer was testing two variations of the spike protein: “BNT162b1 (variant RBP020.3): a modRNA encoding the RBD; BNT162b2 (variant RBP020.2): a modRNA encoding P2 S.” (1)

Things that may help protect the body internally from the spike protein.

Pomegranate peel – the inner can be eaten in small amounts the outer rind is really only useful in a long steeped tea/extract (20-30 minute gentle simmer).

Part of the benefit of pomegranate juice is due to a healthy microbiome changing some of the catechins into urolithin-A, a metabolite that can cross the blood brain barrier and reduce neuroinflammation & promote neurogenesis.

“In summary, the alpha and beta diversity results indicate that the ability to convert UA from its precursors is significantly associated with a higher microbiome richness and overall composition.” (7)

Citrus peel – it is a source of quinine, (various links), quercetin, hesperidin, and other beneficial phytonutrients that may help protect against the spike protein or help with detoxification. It can also help reduce appetite, insulin resistance, and Metabolic Syndrome. Citrus peel bioflavonoids also help clear respiratory congestion and open airways; research has found it helpful for asthmatic symptoms. See: Citrus Peel, or previous posts – include some citrus & some pomegranate peel links.

Can’t find a pomegranate in season? – or have a citrus sensitivity? (MCAS/Histamine)- how about dandelion leaf tea then? (3, 4) Look for dandelions in a wild area or lawn where the owner doesn’t use herbicides or pesticides.

Dandelion plant in a garden bed, long serrated leaves that can become somewhat lettuce like if allowed to grow into a larger rosette of spikey leaves. Allowing the leaves to dry before making tea may increase the phytonutrient content. (9)

Pine needle tea may also be protective as a source of beneficial terpenes, vitamin C, and other phytonutrients. Indigenous Americans use cedar or other evergreen needles for a medicinal tea. Avoid over-heating or boiling as excess tannins are a diuretic and may be an irritant in quantity; and the oily terpenes may add too much of a taste like turpentine. (5) It is recommended to boil water, let it cool somewhat, and then steep the prepped pine needles for 15 minutes or overnight for a stronger tea. (5, 6) Please be cautious about harvesting evergreen needles from a tree you don’t own, or in a way that is overly destructive to the plant.

Social media posts have mentioned pine or evergreen needles as a source of suramin, and that is not true according to a plant scientist. Safe species of evergreens are good source of vitamin C, and also “shikimic acid [which] has been shown to hold anti-sticky platelet properties as well… very helpful in protecting against blood clots!”

“So drink pine tea… we’ll have my own formula on offer at our store… its delicious! But, please be careful, as always, when sharing information about our plants. At best, it drives a frenzy of demand on the market for foraged herbal goods… sometimes that can damage our plant communities in more ways than you can imagine. At worst, the misinformation can damage our cause and feed the idea that those of us in alternative channels don’t actually do science.” (6)

Shikimic acid is also found in Star anise and is used in the production of the anti-viral medication Tamiflu. (6)

I found Star anise very helpful while I was sick with the respiratory symptoms of COVID19, just a few pieces broken off and added to a cup of tea was soothing for my throat. I seemed to become sensitized to it though and got similar symptoms from the blue spruce tea that I tried recently (urinary urgency, and over acidity possibly). Drink plenty of water following a medicinal tea as part of the benefit can be in peeing out an increased amount of toxins – but the kidneys need the water to be able to do that without endangering the delicate renal system.

  • *Caution is deserved with trying anything new. We are all different and also vary within our own state of health and aging. So pay attention to how you feel shortly after trying something and also the next day. Some side effects of dietary supplements can occur a few hours later or the next day.

Vitamin C is also critically important for healthy blood vessels and the prevention of excessive blood clotting.

Glycine is also needed for protecting blood vessel membranes and the blood brain barrier. It is used in collagen which is a fibrous protein that adds structure to the gelatin like fluid surrounding cells and within them. Glycine – good for our extracellular matrix & for immune protection against viral infection.

Glyphosate from Roundup herbicide use may be part of the health problems and varying risk. Biofuel made from biomass grown with Roundup type herbicides is likely causing glyphosate residue in the air surrounding the production facilities and in the areas where that type of biofuel is used by many of the cars and trucks. Glyphosate is also in the food supply in the foods grown with it, ingredients from those foods, or animal products from animals fed Roundup crops. It is an amino acid that can take the place of glycine and cause misfolding of protein chains. Avoiding sources and taking extra Dimethylglycine may be helpful for health. It is available as a refined amino acid powder. See: Glycine & glyphosate & misfolded proteins – Seneff article.

Niacin and other B vitamins help with the removal of cellular debris from the extracellular matrix or pathogens, or damaged or infected cells.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the neurodegenerative disease that led to physicist Stephen Hawkings having to use a wheelchair most of his adult life. ALS can involve misfolded proteins and begins with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction can precede Alzheimer’s dementia and Parkinson’s Disease also, and both involve misfolded proteins.

“Functional defects in mitochondria appear early before symptoms are manifested in ALS. Therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction is a promising therapeutic target in ALS. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Misfolded Proteins, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Neurodegenerative Diseases.” (8)

Our cellular debris removal system would remove misfolded proteins for reuse of the amino acids during good health. Niacin and the rest of the B vitamin team, magnesium, and vitamin C are needed for mitochondrial function.

Thiamin (B1) is commonly available in the diet but is needed in much greater quantity when an infection or inflammation is present. Vitamin C is also needed in greater amounts than during typical health along with magnesium and many nutrients. When the body has to do more work – it needs more fuel and tools that are single use or limited use. Some nutrients can be recycled while others need to be replaced for each chemical reaction.

Phytonutrients are numerous in fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and many beverages made with plant products. Eating a rich variety of foods provides the body nutrients and phytonutrients that have anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and immune system promoting benefits.

In Nepal many herbs and spices are used in daily cooking, including “turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, corm, fenugreek, and chili,” and even more variety of spices may be used on special occasions, or in pickles and other home-made dishes. (9)
