Something New

By David Christopher, MH

Yes, we have all experienced something new these last three years; a new virus that scared the whole world. Fears of mass destruction of lives, economies, infrastructure, peace of mind, traditions, freedoms, even our very souls. Many of us lost friends, family, money, jobs, health, religion, faith, trust, tolerance and love for one another.

The good news is that even though all of us were exposed to this new virus, 99.99 percent of us survived. The lofty goal of wiping out the virus, of course, was never a reality and the virus is still with us. The good news is that through countless mutations the virus is weakened and no longer a lethal threat to the majority of us. The starving and immune compromised are always at risk.

No one died recently when the CDC held a conference in Atlanta. Almost all the nearly 1,800 attendees were vaccinated; 181 of them came down with COVID, and all were vaccinated. We can all learn from these attendees that if we don’t take charge of our health and change our ways, we will always be vulnerable to viruses. You can’t eat your twinkies and drink your colas and expect a strong immune response. No vaccine can compensate for poor health choices. Only your immune system can save you from viruses.

Something new yet old is the fact that herbs are very useful in a pandemic. New information found by PubMed through NIH in the National Library of Medicine, acknowledges the questionable safety and efficacy of current drugs like Remdesivir, while revealing the potential of Artemisia botanicals especially Artemisia annua or Sweet Annie herb. The WHO has long endorsed artemisinin, the drug derived from Sweet Annie as the first-choice anti-malaria drug surpassing the former remedy, quinine. In 2015 artemisinin was awarded half of the Nobel Prize as a frontline treatment for malaria. Because the people in Africa are well artemisinin medicated for malaria, they suffered less from COVID.

Sweet Annie has many anti-viral components besides artemisinin, including immune modulating minerals zinc, gallium and selenium, polyphenols, essential oils, and other phytochemicals that assist to produce a stronger synergistic effect against SARS-CoV-2. Sweet Annie also stores iron which attracts the virus then destroys it with an H2O2 bridge. It is also anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. Some experts consider Sweet Annie to be ivermectin’s natural equivalent.

My something new is that I created a new viral formula that contains Sweet Annie and other well researched and historical herbs to synergistically deal with both the virus and side effects of the vaccine. The formula includes black pepper which is added to enhance the functioning of Sweet Annie.

White pine bark is used for chest congestion and has cardio protective flavonoids. It is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and works well with star anise in utilizing shikimic acid.

White willow is anti-inflammatory and is specific for preventing blood clotting. Willow interferes with messaging, blocking cytokines.

Turmeric is one of the best anti-inflammatory herbs. It blocks the proteins in the body’s cells from being utilized for viral reproduction. It also helps prevent blood clotting and can ameliorate loss of taste and smell.

Cacao is high in zinc and iron, is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-plague.

Star anise was the sole remedy the Chinese used during the black plague and today science has shown it to have the highest amount of shikimic acid, which is extracted and used to make Tamiflu. The fatty acids in star anise bind to spike proteins thus neutralizing them. Star anise has protease inhibitors to block COVID.

Oregon grape root contains berberine which, like golden seal, is anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial.

Dandelion leaf blocks the interaction of CoV-2 spike protein and ACE-2 receptor sites.

Heal-all, or selfheal, is an anti-viral, biofilm disruptor, immunomodulator and vascular tonic herb.

Boswellia, aka frankincense, is a biblical historical healer of diseases, and completes this viral formula. https://herbshopconnection.com/products/vrl-formula-capsule-1

Let us all pray that there will not be another pandemic but let us all prepare knowing as long as there is money to be made, they will launch new plagues.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
1 medium large sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, diced small
1 package firm tofu, cubed
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 to 3 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 to 4 tablespoons yellow curry paste, or as desired
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk (use full-fat for a richer/thicker result but lite may be substituted)
1 ½ cups shredded carrots
2 to 3 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed (2 to 3 heaping handfuls)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice, optional but recommended
¼ to 1/3 cup fresh cilantro or to taste, finely chopped for garnishing (basil may be substituted)
Salt, optional and to taste

Instructions:

To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
Drain and squeeze the liquid from the tofu, then cube. Add the tofu and cook for about 5 minutes, or until tofu is slightly brown. Flip and stir to ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic, turmeric, ginger, coriander, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.
Add the curry paste, coconut milk, carrots, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly.
Add the spinach, pepper, and stir until the spinach has wilted.
Taste the curry and add the optional but recommended lime juice (brightens the flavor of the dish), cilantro, optional salt if needed, and add extra of any of the spices already used or more curry paste if desired to taste.
