From ivermectin to diatomaceous earth – just a few million bucks and a year or two of scientific research between a wonder drug and an ignored potential one?

There are many treatments for the detoxing the spike protein (but not the contaminants such as endotoxins, PEG, SV40 fragments, lipid nano-particles and foreign bacterial e-coli??) being investigated and applied with some success.

Maybe using fenbendazole in conjunction with Ivermectin to target turbo cancers is one, treatments that eliminate monocytes is another, the entire planet has heard of Dr McCullough’s treatment protocol using Natto kinase – maybe Chlorine Dioxide would help. Then there is the regimen of Vitamins – especially D - and maybe Melatonin, Nigella Sativa, pine needle tea and so on.

Many treatments use natural plant ingredients – hopefully with no GMO’s! – probably because the prescription of chemical medicines is not permitted by those that could develop treatments.

Suffice to say, although there are some treatments that are being trialled, the result will be a treatment that works, but the mechanism will be obscure.

For example, why is vitamin D or  melatonin effective against C19 – what molecule, particle or sub-atomic particle is doing what? Why is it not possible to isolate all these mechanisms into a single substance that works quickly – within days or a few weeks – rather than months or years? Can the mechanisms be synthesised in the same way that avermectin was to enable ivermectin?

Okay, I am now going to track the development of ivermectin and compare it with the non-development of another healing candidate.

Fifty years ago, Satoshi Ōmura of Kitasato University, isolated a strain of Streptomyces avermitilis from woodland soil near a golf course along the south east coast of Honshu, Japan. He sent the bacteria to William Campbell of Merck and the rest, as they say, is history. A wonder drug was born.

Here’s a few images taken from here:

Ivermectin: enigmatic multifaceted ‘wonder’ drug continues to surprise and exceed expectations | The Journal of Antibiotics (nature.com)

“Ivermectin is a safer, more potent semisynthetic mixture of two chemically modified avermectins, comprising 80% of 22,23-dihydroavermectin-B1a and 20% 22,23-dihydroavermectin-B1b”

What else might be in the soil that has not had the benefit of highly qualified scientists synthesizing  compounds to create miracle drugs?

Maybe this is a candidate = Diatomaceous Earth. Sounds unappealing right?

What Are the Benefits of Diatomaceous Earth? (healthline.com)

“Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring sand extracted from the earth. It consists of microscopic skeletons of algae — known as diatoms — that have fossilized over millions of years (1).

There are two main types of diatomaceous earth: food grade, which is suitable for consumption, and filter grade, which is inedible but has many industrial uses.

The diatoms in diatomaceous earth are largely made up of a chemical compound called silica.”

Silica ?  Uh oh!  What is Silica and Why is it Dangerous? - Concentra A dangerous carcinogen if inhaled on building sites!

Let’s compare the pros and cons.

First the “pros “from here in 2021.

How to Use Diatomaceous Earth | The Prairie Homestead

“Diatomaceous earth technically comes from the cell walls of fossilized single-cell diatoms – essentially, it’s a fossil, ground into a very fine powder. There are two general types of diatomaceous earth: food grade and industrial grade.”

“Diatomaceous earth exhibits some interesting properties:

·        When viewed through a microscope, it looks like a hollow cylinder, with holes throughout the side.

·        It carries a strong negative charge. If you’ll recall your science lessons, you’ll remember that negatively charged ions are attracted to positively charged ions.

·        Therefore, when taken internally, the diatomaceous earth attracts and absorbs positively-charged pathogens into its cylinder – it absorbs the things we want to stay away from, like viruses, pathogenic fungi and bacteria, heavy metals, prescription drug residues, pesticides, parasites, radiation, and the like – and sweeps them out of our bodies.

·        Diatomaceous earth is also very hard. On a scale of “hardness”, if diamonds were a 9, diatomaceous earth would be a 7. This helps us too – as this powder makes its way through our digestive tract, it gently “scrubs” the packed-on residue we have there and sweeps it out of our bodies. Nice, diatoms!

·        Also, because of this quality, it is very sharp. Organisms such as parasites, lurking in our intestines, are sliced up and killed, and swept away when we empty our bowels, and we are left unharmed.

·        The last quality I’ll mention is also powerful: food grade diatomaceous earth is 84% silica, and contains some 20 trace minerals. Did you know life can’t exist without silica? It is essential for the building of healthy bones and teeth, skin, hair, and nails. As our mineral resources are getting depleted, our food is containing less and less silica. Do yourself a favor and add this divine diatom to your diet.”

Lots more in the article – especially on the care needed around dosage. There are several issues that are covered in the “cons”, as articulated here by a retired Air Force Colonel from 2018.

Diatomaceous Earth? No Thank You! | Science-Based Medicine (sciencebasedmedicine.org)

Here’s some:

“On one website they claim that diatomaceous earth has a strong negative charge and that pathogens and toxins have a positive charge; I question that.

They claim that it attracts, traps, and absorbs fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticides, drug residues, E.coli, and heavy metals. Apparently it’s pretty smart; somehow it knows to only attract things that are bad for you.

They say the sharp particles scrub the walls of the intestines. They say the colon is coated with mucus and molds and that removing the coating allows better absorption of nutrients. Really? I would think sharp particles would injure the delicate lining of the bowel; mucus is normal and has a protective function; molds are not a problem except in the imagination of those who believe in Candida overgrowth syndrome; and if anything, I would think diatomaceous earth would be more likely to absorb nutrients and decrease their availability.”

“Silicon is readily available from foods, and “neither silicon deficiency nor a silicon-responsive condition have yet been identified in humans.” There is some preliminary evidence suggesting that silicon might have a role in bone health, but that has not been confirmed.”

“Is it worth trying? I can’t rule out the possibility that it might work for some indications, but without proper controlled clinical studies we have no way of knowing. I can’t prove that it doesn’t work or that it is unsafe, but in my opinion there is no credible basis for recommending dietary supplementation with diatomaceous earth. Taking it would amount to offering yourself as a guinea pig in an uncontrolled experiment and sandpapering your intestines with an industrial abrasive on the strength of testimonials. I’ll pass.”

That penultimate sentence rang a few bells – experimental C19 mRNA injections anyone???

Out of interest, I ran across this paper that combines diatomaceous earth with from 2018:

Biotemplated Synthesis and Characterization of Mesoporous Nitric Oxide-Releasing Diatomaceous Earth Silica Particles - PubMed (nih.gov)

“The development of NO (nitric oxide) releasing diatomaceous earth presents a unique means of delivering tunable levels of NO to materials across the fields of polymer chemistry, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing.”

Although (annoyingly) I can’t navigate back to the “America Out Loud” interview between Dr McCullough and Dr. Antonis (Anthony) Kyriakopoulos - which focussed on the promising efficacy of lutein in medical quality extra virgin olive oil – I vaguely recall that “Tony” referred to NO deficiency and another oxide. Maybe I am mistaken.

I wonder how many people have taken diatomaceous earth and thrived (or died!) and what attributes it might have if synthesized for any active beneficial components by a few collaborating professors, one at a large drug company!

Onwards!
