UK Doctors Call for Urgent Return of Covid Restrictions > New Strain Coming?
Well here we go again! I wonder how the marketplace is going to react ? Is it just more hype?
serf
- The call comes amid a high level of infections in the country and as hospitals are seeing an influx of Covid patients.
- Health leaders warned on Tuesday that the U.K. risks “stumbling into a winter crisis.”
- Making matters worse, U.K. experts are watching a new mutation of the virus closely.

They are treating my wife for pneumonia for the third time in 1.5 years. After the second bout they discovered a 3 inch tumor in upper left lobe of lung intruding into windpipe. They removed the tumor with a laser by going down her wind pipe at Westchester Medical Center. They seemed to think the blocking tumor was a contributing factor for the pneumonia. Last cat scan showed no growth at tumor site. Her pet scans were negative. Now I don't know what to think! Perhaps her immune system is just not helping. She has had so many setbacks (too many to list) that she is making no progress with PT.
Susie, I read Mr. P's topic on the 7-8 day time frame. He gave a link for more info. It was too deep for me or I just don't have the patience. Diane never tested positive for Covid and she has been tested 3 times. However just so happens I had to call ambulance 8 days after 2nd vaccine shot. Is there a connection? Who knows?
Tonight they removed IV and are going back to oral. At one time her BPM was over 140 and is now down to 70's. Not sure which anti-biotic they are using. My daughter is keeping tabs on this with nurses/drs.
I remember a time not so long ago that they let me sleep in a chair next to my wife and I could watch over her care. Last night at 1AM my wife called me "Please help me, I am freezing and I need more blankets" I guess the Hospital Administrator and stock holders don't think it is important for unvaccinated family to be with a patient. All of us know how important visitation is to the healing process.
This has been a long haul for me since Diane's stroke and fall about five years ago. Her mind is 100% but her poor body has been thru hell.
I can not tell you how much I appreciate all your concerns and prayers. Please keep them coming if you will.----------Ray

Absolutely discrimination. Not sure if you saw the discussion about giving antihistamines around the 7-8 day time-frame. If not ease read it. Hopefully they are administering monoclonal antibodies. It worked for #3 and her spousal unit.
Prayers for your wife's complete recovery.
Thanks for promoting my thread, susie. Here's an active link to it. Sure hope it's of some help to your wife 4205raymond
@...: https://forums.gunbroker.com/discussion/1903368/covid-treatment-protocol-gaining-some-attention
Folks, I found this presentation/discussion fascinating. It was forwarded to me by my sister in law, who now intends to incorporate this treatment protocol into her practice as a nurse practitioner (she's already been doing some of it anyway).
This doc in South Africa has had amazing success treating covid patients in his practice. He's not using "horse dewormer" or any of the drugs that have become controversial in the US (unfairly so, IMO, but whatever). What's interesting is the WHY of his treatment (the what is really rather secondary... he doesn't even go into specifics of it until the end because it's pretty drug independent). He goes into a fair bit of the why, however. Let me sum up the presentation for those not willing to sit through the hour.
His early hypothesis was based on observation that most every covid patient he treated and saw others treating typically got better before getting rapidly worse on the 8th day. He hypothesized this was due to the virus being essentially fought off by the body successfully, and that in that process the body had broken the virus down leaving the spike protein in the lungs. The rapid deterioration in O2 saturation that was exhibited in about 30% of patients on the 8th day, he hypothesized, was caused by an allergic reaction to the resultant protein in those patients. He observed that the 8th day symptoms had a high correlation to allergic response and NOT viral pneumonia as presumed by the majority of care providers (he notes a high correlation to allergic reaction by some to grain (wheat) dust in the lungs as one example), because the timeline for the development of pneumonia was inconsistent with what was normally observed with that condition. It also easily explains why some don't have any problem with it on the 8th day while others do... some are allergic and others aren't, just like with shell fish, peanuts, and other known allergens. If you don't know, allergens are commonly to proteins, so this makes a lot of sense.
He began treating his patients accordingly, and saw rapid... like within hours... improvement in O2 saturation levels. And ultimately full recovery, as one would expect if his hypothesis were correct.
It's such a "WELL THAT MAKES SENSE" type of aha moment.
It also easily explains my own personal recovery (which you can take for what it's worth... probably next to nothing). I am a person who suffers horribly from seasonal allergies, so I always have some claritin, and allegra on hand. I easily recognize the allergic response I get, because it's so familiar. When I had covid, I noticed what felt like an allergic response about 8 days after I got sick (it was probably THE 8th day, but honestly I didn't keep track, I just remember that I got better and then felt worse again and thought it was just my allergies acting up again) so I took my OTC allegra. Problem solved. No complications at all for me.
What I find truly interesting is how well he explains it all. It's clear he knows his stuff and yet is able to explain everything so well. Hope you enjoy.

Serf, I am sorry, did not mean to hi-jack your topic. I will continue on if ok.
Mr. P,, Randy, I listened to 24 minutes of video and will pick it up again when I can fit it in. Sounds promising. You understand my wife does not have Covid. They are treating her for pneumonia. Interesting that she has had no fever pre -hospital and EMS came up with 99 on the o2. She had slight cough when eating and fatigue.
At 3am this morning I received a call from my wife " I am so sick please help me" Of course my hearing is terrible. I have the older Widex hearing aids and the custom fitted Phonak from the VA. The Phonak I can adjust the volume with a clicker. Both brands are useless on the phone. I can hear better without hearing aids on the phone. About 5 years ago had closed captioning phone but it drove me crazy. Voice and text out of sync and I gave it up.
I had to call my daughter over two hours away and she called nurse and cleared things up.
Can you imagine for a moment your wife begging for help and not being able to hear her hardly. I am telling you, it is evil to keep a spouse away because he did not have the damn vaccine shots. About a year ago I took a get well card to same hospital and they refused to deliver it or let me take it to her. I got the head of security and told him "Deliver this card or I will go thru you" He delivered the card.
Today they went from oral back to IV on the anti-biotic. My daughter drove over two hours to be with my wife. No one should be that isolated and not allowed to see their spouse because he did not get the vaccine. I know if I was sitting beside her and holding her hand she would feel a lot better.-------------------------------------Ray

To All, again and thank you for your concern and prayers.
Hospital, said they were discharging my wife today but it was a no go. My daughter and I showed up and only she was allowed inside. My wife was too weak to come home. They got her in wheel chair but was a monumental effort by three people. Diane had turned down Hospital Rehab but they had approved at home PT. Now we have opened a can of worms. Hospital Rehab Doctor has cleared her for in Hospital Rehab but still needs approval from our insurance and Medicare. She was declared medically fit to be discharged and now my daughter has to file an appeal to the discharge. It is possible I will be cast into the twilight zone costing me thousands until final decisions are made on Monday.
I put the walker on the front porch today before leaving for the hospital and my little dog Willie (after Willie Nelson) got all excited. To him this means Grandma is coming home. When I got home tonight he ran and raced through the house and smelled her dirty clothes that I brought home. He kept smelling at front and back door because he thought I was going to go out and help Diane get in the house. Now he is sad.
I am so far behind with my house in Virginia and my house here in Orange County, NY that I am beginning to wonder if any light left at the end of the tunnel. I have been at this for almost five years now and I am physically and mentally exhausted. I just don't know how Smitty found the strength to carry on.
I have a cedar deck that I got behind on (almost 40 years old) and had to sand the whole thing and coat with Sikkens. I tried a big machine years ago and would not work for me. I use a heavy duty Craftsman belt sander and palm sander for tight spots. The Craftsman has a dust bag but not the palm sander. Glasses and mask are nothing but trouble so i had to work a lot without mask. Some say they make a spray for your glasses. I have COPD and some allergies. Now I am sick. Very stupid move on my part but I did not want to loose my deck.
I am going to lay low for a while and when I have more to report and my health gets a little better I will create a new topic in GD. I just don't know if my wife will get her strength back or the cancer in her lung will return. Please continue to pray for my sweetheart Diane if you would.-------------------------------------Ray

Did she originally have covid and now the hospital says she has pneumonia? That's what the doc in the video says is a misdiagnosis, and that's it's more probably an allergy to the covid spike protein. It may not apply to your situation, but I would continue to look into it. Prayers continue.

Randy, Diane was tested three times in past for Covid and always negative. She was admitted Monday and was supposed to be discharged Friday. I am not positive if she was tested this episode. My daughter is middleman as I am hard of hearing and Hospital won't let me see her because I would not get the vaccine. I will find out for sure. My daughter has to appeal the discharge and we have to get approval for rehab from Medicare and our insurance. Diane is to weak to come home. Her only symptom before admittance was a slight cough when eating and fatigue, This is a nightmare.
My neighbor next door has three co-workers that were fired from a major chemical co because they refused the vaccine. Also, my other neighbor across street was NYPD for nine years and is now NYC Fireman. He was fined a months pay and given 30 days to get the vaccine or he will be fired. He has three little children. I just talked to him half hour ago and he is beside himself.
If the doctor in India is correct on his procedure Millions could have been saved worldwide.----------------------Ray

Randy, I checked with my daughter. Diane was tested this episode and it was negative. They did it so that if insurance is approved she can transition over to rehab.---------Ray

Probably doesn't apply then. My prayers continue. Sorry she is unwell and I hope she heals up quickly. Best to you and your family Ray.
