Additional COVID-19 Information [podcast link inside]

In addition to the COVID-19 Insights + Q&A calls I have hosted recently, I'd like to share a podcast that explains much of my take on COVID-19. Read the information below and click here to listen: COVID-19 Facts from the Frontline - Facts Over Fear, Part 3: A panel of doctors, M.D.s, and a Nobel Prize winner unmask the science you aren't hearing on TV from The Tony Robbins Podcast on Apple Podcasts.


The information below gives an overview of the podcast, including the panelists and episode notes. I highly recommend listening to this timely and informative podcast. It is well worth your time!

On March 11, 2020, people all over the world were thrust into a new reality when the coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. It was as if the globe had ground to a halt as businesses closed, schools shuttered, and stay-at-home orders emptied city streets. Thousands of lives have been lost; all lives have been changed.

Over the past two months, despite these uncertain and unprecedented circumstances, there have been shining examples of goodness and triumphs of the human spirit solidifying the fact that we as a species are both adaptable and resilient. Scientists around the globe have aligned their focus to find solutions to this challenge of historic proportions, and groundbreaking discoveries have been made. Everyday, we continue to make progress in quelling the impact of this virus and protecting our loved ones at risk.

Unfortunately, much of the COVID-19 news comes to us clouded by the business of mass media which built momentum selling us a narrative of fear.

In this episode, Tony goes on a journey to uncover the truth about coronavirus with a 7-person panel of highly qualified researchers, an experienced epidemiologist, a Nobel Laureate, and M.D.s testing and treating patients on the front lines. Together, they reveal the evidence-based research that has come to light and the emerging facts that you’re not hearing in the headlines that are absolutely crucial in shaping decisions about how to move forward.

This is one of the most important interviews that Tony has conducted in his 40+ year career. It reminds us to stand guard at the door of our mind, practice discernment when determining trustworthy sources, and think critically for ourselves in order to stay flexible and maintain the ability to pivot in light of new information – especially when lives depend on it.

Podcast panelists in this episode include: 
  • Dr. Michael Levitt, PhD, Nobel Prize – Chemistry; Professor of Structural Biology, Stanford University
  • Dr. Eran Bendavid, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Stanford University
  • Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D., Chief Wellness Officer Emeritus, Cleveland Clinic
  • Dr. Alan Preston, Sc.D, Former Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Texas A&M University
  • Senator Scott Jensen, M.D., Family Physician; Senator (R-Minnesota)

COVID-19 Insights + Q&A May 14 Replay

Thanks to everyone who joined me on the latest COVID-19 Insights + Q&A call :) It was a great call, and I hope everyone got answers to their questions. If you weren't able to join us, please watch the video below and read through the information and resources. If you did join us, please feel free to share this with everyone you think would benefit from this information. Enjoy!


As mentioned on the Zoom discussion, there's not a single expert or source that I have or do agree with 100% of everything anyone has said.  With that disclaimer, as requested, here are some of my resources as initial starting points:

  • Sam Harris, PhD
  • Peter Hotez, MD, PhD
  • Robert Thompson, MD
  • David Sinclair, PhD
  • Paul Grewal, MD
  • Paul Andersion, ND
Two interviews I found quite interesting:

Zach Bush, MD, on HighWire

Debunking the Narrative (With Prof. Dolores Cahill) 

Also, I don't want to sound like I know it all.  A couple of my favorite quotes as it relates to this pandemic are:

"What we said before might seem foolish now..." 

and 

"All models are wrong, some are useful..."  

Hindsight is still murky on this subject, but I do believe strongly this virus can be dealt with in a sane and relatively inexpensive way that is FAR different than current circumstances allow or encourage.

A few lab tests I mentioned that might be useful to test before deciding exact dosages of said nutrients might include:
  • Lymphocytes - as part of a CBC
  • Vitamins: A, C, D
  • Minerals: Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Magnesium
  • Glutathione
  • Inflammatory makers: Fibrinogen, hs-CRP, Rheumatoid factor, ESR
  • An all-out nutrient test to consider would be a test like Genova Diagnostics NutrEval
Here is the ozone petition that I'd be so appreciative of you signing.  For more on ozone, please look at my blog posted April 27th

Interesting NY Times article: How Long Will a Vaccine Really Take?

Please look into Bill H.R. 6666 (TRACE ACT = Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone).  Like most bills, I agree that certain parts could be useful and certain aspects are likely not (sigh).  You be the judge :)

Great article on how the virus travels in air in different scenarios: "The Risks - Know Them - Avoid Them" https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them.




My favorite video (from April) that goes along with my main mic-drop point from my Zoom talk "New York COVID-19 Antibody Tests Show SHOCKING Results."  

Quick recap from my own Zoom mic drop... as of May 12th for Los Angeles County (10 million people) had 11% seroconversion (have antibodies already) and 1,613 deaths.  This equates to a mortality rate of 0.14%.  45% of those 1,613 deaths were from nursing homes which would mean that for non-nursing home bound people the mortality rate is closer to 0.08% and even this 0.08% is falsely elevated as the CDC has deemed COVID-19 deaths as both 'confirmed and probable'.  So, WHY are current policies as stringent as they are??? Because current policies sure are not scientifically based!!!

Bottom line, consider being tested for basic labs mentioned to formulate an individualized plan that might also include a high quality air purifier for your bedroom AND consider partaking in the Oasis Group Visits led by Family Nurse Practitioner, Kellie Kell, and Health Coach, Tracy Leventhal. If you have questions about the Group Visits, please contact our office.

Have a great week, stay healthy, and please feel free to pass this along!
