How would you rank Thyrovanz compared with prescription Armour Thyroid, which has both T4 and T3 from pig thyroid glands, or would each supplement be more advantageous for specific subpopulations of sufferers? What is most important for us to know?

How safe and effective for joint problems is the supplement OmegaXL offered by Great Healthworks, which has 300 mg of a Proprietary Blend of Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Oil Extract (PCSO-524®) containing Omega Fatty Acids, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pure Olive Oil, and d-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)?

A number of research studies have been called into question because of poor reproducibility when an attempt to replicate their findings failed. A “replication crisis” has been noted for psychology, sociology, education, economics, and medical research. For example, a detailed inquiry was mounted to replicate 193 experiments from 53 top cancer papers published from 2010-2012. Only a quarter of the original findings were able to be reproduced. Moreover, even for effects that were reproduced, the magnitude averaged 85% less than observed in the original investigations. This is concerning because such experiments are crucial for deciding what to pursue for drug development and when to proceed to clinical trials. Unreliable results not only waste money but expose patients to unnecessary risks. While there are many understandable reasons why results can vary, what can Creator tell us about hidden reasons for such poor reproducibility and their impact on the reliability of scientific inquiry?

A recent post in Neuroscience News highlighted a new study that reveals a possible link between common herpesvirus infections and the early biological changes that precede dementia. “The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6 (human herpesvirus 6)…These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors.” (“Human herpes viruses are associated with steeper age-dependent increases of serum biomarkers for dementia in cognitively unimpaired women” by Lisa M. James et al. Scientific Reports). Is this a valid clue supporting the viral causation of dementia?

Arguably, the biggest champion over the years for cancer as a metabolic disease and largely ignored by medical opinion leaders, has been Dr. Thomas Seyfried who has promoted ketogenic diets as an adjunct to conventional treatment. A state of ketosis lowers blood sugar which tumor cells need, and elevates ketone bodies which normal cells can use for energy but tumor cells can’t. But even he seems blind to the clues about viral causation. In a 2014 study in Cancer Letters, he augments his theory of the central role of metabolism in glioblastoma in describing how 90% of brain tumor cells are infected by cytomegalovirus, “which is a supercharger for allowing tumor cells to use glucose and glutamine.” That biochemical pathway allows energy for tumors to grow despite inadequate oxygenation. But he doesn’t ask, why are viruses there to begin with and what other role might they play? Is this an example of mind control suppression to limit scientific progress?

Scientists studying genetics of bacteria in marine plankton stumbled on a novel species of primitive organism they named Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, after a deity in Japanese mythology, renowned for its small size. Classified as belonging to the domain of Archaea, it lacks all recognizable metabolic pathways, primarily encoding machinery for its replication by a host organism, having less than half the DNA of the smallest archaeal. While some scientists believe viruses are not truly living, you have told us that is a false conclusion. Can this new, most primitive, virus-like entity be considered a life form?

Is this or other similar Archaeal species, perhaps undiscovered, pathogenic and contributing to the chronic disease burden of society?

I am concerned about recommending people take 12 mg of ivermectin daily for 3 weeks (along with hydroxychloroquine). Was I over-influenced by having that interchange with [Name Withheld] about “his protocol” to believe that giving both compounds would effect a viral cleanout? Was this a lesson to me about being more thorough, knowing as I investigated the literature about appropriate doses of ivermectin I would see the pharmacokinetic data, revealing the inability of oral administration to reach antiviral concentrations? What is most important for me to know?

Recommending use of ivermectin in a way that is not even scientifically supportable seems like a big risk, even if you say it will work. What am I missing? How can high protein binding not be a hindrance to achieving a therapeutic exposure to free drug? Is there a scientific phenomenon here not yet scientifically understood or appreciated, at least not be me? Can you give us a tutorial to explain your continued endorsement and value of ivermectin, in addition to hydroxychloroquine which has demonstrated in vivo efficacy as an antiviral?

In a paper on the pharmacokinetics of ivermectin, they report that even at a very high dose, free plasma levels never get close to the concentration needed, shown by in vitro studies, to demonstrate antiviral activity because ivermectin is 93% bound to plasma proteins. Yet, you have reassured us that taking an oral dose of 12 mg daily for 3 weeks would be effective in many cases for getting a profound, if not total, eradication of susceptible chronic viruses. Can you explain how that is possible?

Does cod liver oil contain significant antiviral activity, enough to diminish viral disease symptoms or even cure chronic viral maladies?

You told us that the supplement, Pineal Guardian X was an effective cognitive enhancer and neuroprotectant, despite its unstated and likely modest concentration of its ingredients. You said you could help us resolve the mystery here after we do some research on what the supplement contains. What I have seen is that 8 of its 9 ingredients have been confirmed by scientific studies to possess antiviral activity, at least at high concentrations, while the manufacturer only describes other varied properties of these phytonutrients. Is there something being missed by researchers? Does one or more substance have much more potent activity on certain viruses than yet appreciated? Is there an unexpected synergistic effect of this particular combination of what may be only modest and weak antivirals? Or is there some other property making the supplement beneficial? What is most important for us to know?
