COVID-19: HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF HEALTHY?



Coronavirus update by David Schmidt, Scientist and CEO, LifeWave

What are your options when it comes to protecting yourself from the coronavirus? Here are the highlights from David Schmidt’s recent webinar on the subject, as he talked about what we can do to protect ourselves and our family -- beyond government measures.

Lifewave products CANNOT be used to cure, treat or prevent the coronavirus. This information is provided to empower you with information so that you can keep yourself and your family in optimal health. If you become infected, speak to your doctor about some of the options presented to come up with a strategy that’s right for you.


ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS:
The coronavirus is one virus in a very large family of viruses which includes the common cold. People who have coronavirus and are contagious may appear to be in good health with no symptoms. The novel coronavirus is estimated to be 10,000 times more infectious than common coronavirus. It will also stay active on many surfaces and in the air for three or four hours. Many experts believe as we get into the summer months, the virus will subside; however, information changes daily on this point. The coronavirus does not like strong sunlight. The critical temperature at which the virus dies is at 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The virus also does not like high humidity levels.

THOSE AT RISK:
People with certain health and physical conditions are at higher risk to become infected with the coronavirus. Those risk factors include:
  • Age 60 and higher (although people at any age can be infected, those with impaired immune systems such as an older population are more likely to experience serious illness).
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Auto Immune disorders including fibromyalgia, arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease, cancer, and diabetes

LIFE SPAN OF THE CORONAVIRUS:
The coronavirus can remain active up to 3 hours on copper surfaces, up to 4 hours on cardboard surfaces and 2 – 3 days on stainless steel. On antimicrobial copper, however, the virus dies nearly instantly.

PRECAUTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:
Gargling with as little as a 0.5% hydrogen peroxide can inactivate the coronavirus within a minute. 3% hydrogen peroxide solution is available at most pharmacies and supermarkets and may be used without diluting. You can also clean surfaces with hydrogen peroxide solution. Ozone is helpful in destroying viruses and ozone air purifiers are sold for this purpose. You can install ozone air purifiers in your office or home to keep the air clean and pure, to reduce the viral load and the risk of infection. Be sure to purchase an ozone air purifier that is intended to operate with people present, as many ozone units are sold for disinfecting only.

HELPFUL SUPPLEMENTS:
• Copper glycinate or copper chelate, ideally 3 – 5 mgs. Some people may have adverse reactions to copper supplements so speak with your doctor first. As little as 2mg of copper daily may be effective.
  • Vitamin C elevates production of hydrogen peroxide in the body. Take 1000 mgs daily (Note: do no take if you’re prone to kidney stones.) The combination of copper and Vitamin C has been shown to inactivate the HSV virus.
  • Melatonin is a powerful supplement with antiviral effects, and it aids in getting a good night’s sleep which supports a healthy immune system and helps to suppress viral activity. 7-8 hours of sleep is recommended.
  • Food grade sources of hydrogen peroxide, diluted to .5 %. There are some products that combine food-grade hydrogen peroxide with aloe vera.
  • Garlic extract, even stronger when combined with Vitamin C (double your levels of nitric oxide, supports immune system). It is not recommended to take garlic daily due to undesirable telomere effects.
  • BHT - Butylated hydroxytoluene, taken with coconut oil. 500mg per day. Consult with your doctor as people with Liver conditions should not consume.
  • Oregano oil, when symptomatic
  • Olive leaf extract, when symptomatic
  • Colostrum supports the overall health of the immune system
  • L Glutamine, an inexpensive amino acid
  • Ginger root – slice it and put in a pot of boiling water, sit for 10 minutes, drink 1 liter
  • Elderberry extract will keep a virus from replicating
  • Zinc gluconate; don’t take more than 50 mgs a day of zinc, optimally take 25 mgs a day. Zinc gluconate lozenges have been shown to kill the common coronavirus.
  • Vitamin D is an anti-inflammatory. You can get it by sitting in the sun for 15 to 20 minutes with no sunscreen exposing the chest area, or take 5,000 international units (IU) a day

OPTIMAL DIET:
  • Healthy fats like Omega 3 fatty acids provide essential protein and anti-oxidants which supports a healthy immune system
  • Fruits and vegetables that contain anti-oxidants known to combat viral infections
  • Liver has 20 to 30 mgs of copper per serving, and copper is known to support the immune system
  • Dark chocolate is also a great source of copper
  • Lots of water
Intermittent fasting can also dramatically improve your immune response system. Eat during 8 hours then fast for 16 hours. You can have black coffee, green tea or water but no caloric intake.

EXERCISE:
Intense exercise is beneficial to maintain a healthy immune system, such as resistance training, weightlifting, push-ups, yoga, calisthenics, Qi Gong and sprinting. Never exercise when you are sick because that compromises the immune system even further.

IF YOU BECOME INFECTED:
• Copper supplementation as described.
• Consider getting an IV drip of vitamin C and/or hydrogen peroxide from a doctor
• Ozone injections can be helpful, administered by a doctor
• Chlorine dioxide (sodium hypochlorite) treatments can help, but they are not approved by the FDA

Whatever you do, don’t panic! Added stress will elevate inflammation in the body and make you more susceptible to the coronavirus.

How LIfeWave patches work

Why LifeWave Patches 

Scientist David Schmidt invented a pop can-size oxygen generator that could be used by firefighters and also submariners. The device generated 4 hours of oxygen. He was involved in making the oxygen generator, when he was asked by the Navy to help develop a mini-sub that would increase the survivability of its Navy Seal crew members. Although because of delays, he wasn't able to join the team, it got him thinking. The Navy frowned upon the use of stimulants, like energy drinks or pep pills, but needed something small, compact and light.

"The thought occurred to me that we have wireless communication today in the form of cell phones and satellite TV; why not have a way to wirelessly communicate with the human body. A device that could 'talk' to the body to ask the body to do different things."

In the 1980s, Dr. John Zimmerman discovered the human body emits pulsating magnetic fields. Electrons flow through our bodies constantly. For example, nerve impulses travel from the brain to the muscles in our bodies. The pulsating magnetic fields, like radio waves, are a high frequency carrier wave that can carry encoded information to the body. The DNA is able to send and receive messages using an electronic process. 

LifeWave patches were developed using these principles. Schmidt invented a method that programmed organic structures the same way that computer chips are programmed. He started with ordinary materials like amino acids and specific sugars and put them into water-based solutions. (He only used materials that the FDA lists as safe.) He processed these materials in a very special way so that they are capable of "talking" to the human body. 



About LifeWave Patches

The amazing thing about the LifeWave patches is that NOTHING enters the body; instead, the patch that communicates with the body to cause different things to happen. 

In the case of LifeWave energy patches within minutes of using the patches a dramatic gain in stamina occurs. Because LifeWave IS NOT a stimulant, A person will "feel" this increase in energy with no jitters or energy rush. After a workout, people find that they do not get as tired or fatigued. LifeWave energy patch is a similar phenomena like converting food into energy.

With IceWave, a pain patch, put the patch over the pain first. If that doesn't work, poke around by moving the patches around. Move the white patch first. Then move the brown patch. Within seconds the body produces endorphins that provide pain relief.

Sleep patches tell the body to make more melatonin. The patches also tell the body to make serotonin, the happy hormone. Use the patches only at night.

The SP-6 patch balances the hypothalamus. It helps the body by balancing body functions so the body works in dealing with addictions. It is only the left-sided patch because that is where addiction points are located.

The hypothalamus:

  • releases hormones
  • regulates body temperature
  • maintains daily physiological cycles
  • controls appetite
  • manages of sexual behavior
  • regulates emotional responses


The Alavida patch helps the body balance the pineal gland, called the all-seeing eye. The All-Seeing-EYE had always been part of Earth's mythologies and creation mysteries. THE PINEAL GLAND. It is the Spiritual Third Eye, our Inner Vision, and it is considered the Seat of the Soul. It is located in the geometric center of our Brain. The Aeon patch is designed to help promote an "anti-stress" response in the body.

The Carnosine patch helps the body balance carnosine in the body. Carnosine is an antioxidant found naturally in the human body that plays an important role in overall health and athletic performance, accelerates wound healing.

The Nirvana patch supports healthy endorphin production to enhance mood.

Hormone regulating centers. I put them on my sleep mask, because I had a cataract starting. Started playing around with putting them on my sleep mask.

X-39 patch stem cell patch requires a person take copper and zinc as supplements - 2.5 mg of copper and 16.5 mg of zinc.

The patch is not in charge so using more patches is not better. The body picks up the signal from the patch and the body decides where help is needed.

Lumps and bumps are the body walling off toxin. Increased Glutathione and Carnosine both help reduce toxins. The Glutathione and Carnosine  patches will signal to the body to help produce more of both of these.

Melatonin proves effective as anti-depressent among women with breast cancer

A study of the use of melatonin as an anti-depressent for patients with breast cancer has proved positive, according to an article in the  June 2014 Breast Cancer Research and Treatment Journal.

The study showed that "melatonin significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms in women with breast cancer during a three-month period after surgery."

Researchers undertook the study because depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances are known problems in patients with breast cancer and since the effect of melatonin as an antidepressant in humans with cancer had not been investigated.

"We investigated whether melatonin could lower the risk of depressive symptoms in women with breast cancer in a three-month period after surgery and assessed the effect of melatonin on subjective parameters: anxiety, sleep, general well-being, fatigue, pain and sleepiness," said Melissa V. Hansen, the lead investigator.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial undertaken from July 2011 to December 2012 at a department of breast surgery in Copenhagen, Denmark. Women, 30-75 years, undergoing surgery for breast cancer and without signs of depression on Major Depression Inventory (MDI) were included 1 week before surgery and received 6 mg oral melatonin or placebo for 3 months.

The primary outcome was the incidence of depressive symptoms measured by MDI. The secondary outcomes were area under the curve (AUC) for the subjective parameters. 54 patients were randomized to melatonin (n = 28) or placebo (n = 26) and 11 withdrew from the study (10 placebo group and 1 melatonin group, P = 0.002).

The risk of developing depressive symptoms was significantly lower with melatonin than with placebo (3 [11 %] of 27 vs. 9 [45 %] of 20; relative risk 0.25 [95 % CI 0.077-0.80]), giving a NNT of 3.0 [95 % CI 1.7-11.0]. No significant differences were found between AUC for the subjective parameters. No differences in side effects were found (P = 0.78).

'One Girl Wellness' Founder Offers Tips for Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Self-Love


Susan Bodiker
Susan Bodiker is a former 'fat girl' – and she will be the first one to tell you that. Like so many women, her body image issues started at a young age, and it didn't matter if she was at a weight of 120, 130, or 140 – she still saw a 'fat girl' staring back at her in the mirror. It was only when she learned to nourish her mind and heart first that she lost the weight and gained the confidence to create a meaningful, happy life – and she wants that to be every girl's story.

Bodiker founded One Girl Wellness, a health-coaching consultancy dedicated to "raising stronger women one girl at a time." She shares her journey and guidance for others to find that strength in her new book, Fat Girl: How to Let Go of Your Weight and Get on With Your Life, a roadmap to greater self-knowledge, self-awareness and self-esteem.

One Girl Wellness deals with topics including:

  • What's Your Go-To Mantra? Rid yourself of negative, self-defeating mindsets and replace them with words to live by on a daily basis
  • Mind Over Platter. Learn to become a more mindful, less distracted eater by living fully in the moment
  • Stretching Hurts. And That's a Good Thing. Stretching pushes you through temporary discomfort to get to a better place - in other words, a way to become transformative
  • How Does This Make You Feel? Women excel in dieting usually at the same rate they do self-loathing. The key to reversing that: Learning "body self-compassion"
