I find it fascinating that the same natural compounds that are effective for covid/spike protein are also effective for cancer (inhibiting metabolic processes, cell signalling etc)

Yes, phytonutrients are so versatile. Within the plant they need to be ready to help the plant to adjust for a flooding storm or a blazing hot noon time sun - on the turn of a dime.

JD - Stop hemoglobin interference, stop malaria, C19, cancer or anything requiring iron for proliferation.

IV injection of high dose adjuvants is just not the same as eating flippin' pumpkin seeds. It's the same crass scaremongering we have seen about vitamin C, vitamin D and, horror of horrors cyanide from B12 supplements.

Agree, except I have met someone who was harmed by B12 supplements leading to mystery cyanide toxicity. She started blogging on that niche to help warn others of the possibility.

Can't you see what you are promoting here Jennifer?

If everyone starts eating pumpkin seeds, there won't be any left to plant.

You are unwittingly part of the de- pumpulation agenda. WAKE UP!

👏👏👏👏👏💯👍📣 Excellent piece Jennifer😊 it's fascinating how a multitude of phytonutrients, nutraceuticals actually help in Cov2😉

Why it's almost as if it was made to take advantage of an already deficient, malnutrition, and chronically toxic populations.😐🤔😐🤨🤐😤

Thanks for the nice holistic look at this. Isolating a single nutrient or pathway to make sweeping conclusions is often risky - so many things interact. That's why clinical studies in mammals need to be done to verify findings done in rodents or cell cultures.

Pumpkin seeds I like but look at that Study Walter highlighted...

49% readmission rates in control group??

Not likely

More likely poorly done research

Okay, I took a closer look and noticed something I had missed.

I updated the post with these paragraphs:

Additional quote from the research study regarding dosing frequency

The research study in Walter’s post happened to be the one I found this morning on my brief look, and used in my comment below regarding how much squalene is needed and how many pumpkin seeds would that be?

- Approximately 300 mg worth of squalene extracted from pumpkin seeds was placed under the patient’s tongue every 4 hours, I missed the frequency part on my first look at the paper.

“5 drops of sublingually SQ was applied every 4 h for up to 5 days.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-54843-x

A comment here suggested that the large disparity in hospitalization rates between the experimental group and the control group seems to large to be true - questioning if there was bad study design? I would not be surprised that giving a strong NK-kB inhibitor/Nrf2 promoter every 4 hours for five to six days would make a huge difference from standard CoV treatment. If symptoms were being treated within the first week then that would be the recommended holistic treatment schedule, frequent doses for a week or so to knock a viral infection out early.

My point in sharing the graphics, further below, and for my le-sigh crack, is simply to point out the big picture hope, the everyday hope, not just a Friday post - eat more Nrf2 promoters/NFkB inhibitors everyday and you will likely have much healthier terrain and be able to withstand mystery diseases or whatever sort. And if you don’t have squalene oil, pick some of the others foods or phytonutrients. I like pumpkin seeds, but there is not really a balanced diet plan that includes 10.5 ounces of pumpkin seeds every four hours, even if only for 5-6 days that would be a lot of chewing and a lot of fiber. So it is a good thing there are gobs and gobs of other delicious choices for your everyday hope meal planning.

In retrospect, I had a really tough nutrition professor in college and it was a blessing that it was a small university and program and he taught almost all the classed in my major (dietetics). He made me work harder instead of just teaching to the middle of the class average. Other students hated his into nutrition course because they had to pass it for their major. I had him for lots of courses. I was taught to go to the research and look up any diagnosis my patients might have, odd or not. Look for anything diet or nutrient related in the research that might help them and give them and/or their doctor the info to consider acting on - or just teach them that idea to try. It worked. Autism wasn't a thing when I saw it coming on in increasing numbers and I had to dig for a little info. Weird food cravings and eating the same thing all the time was a pattern.

JD - "I had a really tough nutrition professor in college and it was a blessing... He made me work harder" The school of hard knocks where it isn't handed to you on a silver platter. You had to learn how to do the legwork, and think for yourself. Unlike so many self entitled whiners who went to mostly Ivy league or uber expensive name brands, and can't think their way out of a paper bag. When I encounter these mental midgets my standard rejoinder is: Some people went to the wrong school.
