Recovery at Home - from Death's door in 4 days of natural therapies
Newsletter published on March 30, 2020
If my recent newsletters seemed alarmist, this one will be calming.
Dr David Brownstein is a practitioner of holistic medicine, who operates
a website and newsletter. He uses vitamins rather than herbs, but not
drugs as per Big Pharma.
He says that the media are over-hyping the virus, and that "we should
quarantine the sick and let the healthy get back to work." This sound
like Trump's solution.
I disagree; I think that China has shown the way. Strict quarantine and
social distancing stop the transmission of the virus; after a couple of
months, normal life can gradually resume.
Anyway, Dr Brownstein and Dr Ng seem to have had good success with their
methods of preventing and treating Covid-19. They recommend home
treatment rather than going to hospital.
Apart from vitamins, they recommend use of a Nebulizer. I had never
heard of such equipment, but it seems to be a machine used by asthmatics
to aerate their lungs. I gather that it would be the home equivalent of
a Ventilator. You can buy them at pharmacies, and also on eBay.
I'm going to investigate whether I can use antiviral essential oils
(Cinnamon, Ginger, Sage, Rosemary) in a Nebulizer to directly kill the
virus in my lungs, should it get that far. If any reader knows how to
use a Nebulizer, or the recipe for using essential oils in one, please
let me know.
Spending a few hundred dollars would be cheap, if it saved one's life or
that of other people.

(1) Recovery at Home - from Death's door in 4 days of natural therapies
The video below could save your life. It's a discussion between Dr.
David Brownstein, a practitioner of Holistic Medicine, and a patient
called Christopher, who recovered at home in four days.
Remember that hospitals are death-traps at present, and the staff are
stretched to breaking point. Home treatment can save both you and them.
Dr Brownstein and Dr Ng advise against taking Panadol (Tylenol) or
Ibuprofen if you get a fever; they will make your condition more
serious. Don't try to suppress the fever; it is nature's healing
process, the hotter the better.
They said that conventional medicine has no answer for this virus.

Dr. David Brownstein
"......4 days ago I felt like I was staring at inevitable death....."
This is the statement made by Dr Ng's patient, Christopher, who had
tested positive for COVID-19. This is one of the worst cases we have
seen at CHM. Christopher was sick for nearly 2 weeks, with a high fever,
body aches, chills, nausea, and diarrhea.
He even took Tylenol {Panadol} and Ibuprofen, with hopes that it would
give him some relief from the fever and pain. This only worsened his
condition.
Thankfully, Christopher is recovering after 4 days of natural IV
therapies and a supplement protocol administered by Dr Ng. This pandemic
is real, but so are the results of natural therapies. Watch
Christopher's testimonial on he recovered from COVID-19.

Coronavirus VII: We Are Ready and You Can Be Ready Too!

My partners (Dr. Nusbaum, Dr Ng, Taylor Eason, NP & Jenny Drummond, PA)
have all found success using natural therapies to enhance the body’s
immune system as well as to kill viruses including flu-like viruses.
Today, I ordered intravenous hydrogen peroxide, vitamin C, ozone, and
glutathione for my sick patients. I am confident these therapies will
help them recover uneventfully. Keep in mind my partners and I have
nearly 80 years of experience with these therapies! Not only do they
work, they can be miraculous. Just ask our patients!
Intravenous nutrient therapies are wonderful treatments, but there are
other oral natural therapies that are effective against viral infections
including coronavirus. Vitamins A, C, and D along with iodine have
proven benefit. At the first sign of any illness, I suggest my patients
take 100,000 U of vitamin A (NOT beta-carotene), 50,000 U of vitamin D3
and 5-10,000 mg of vitamin C per day for four days. Pregnant women
should not take high doses of vitamins A and D. Vitamin C can be
increased to bowel tolerance.
What else can you do? It is important to eat a healthy diet free of
refined sugar, salt, oils, and flour. And, perhaps the most important
thing is to maintain optimal hydration. That means taking your weight in
pounds, divide the number by two and the resultant number is the minimum
amount of water to drink in ounces per day. I cannot stress the
importance of drinking optimal amounts of water.
(2) Dr Brownstein and Dr Ng recommended home treatment
Dr Brownstein and Dr Ng recommend home treatment consisting of
- vitamins (A, C, and D). I did not buy D, because we have lots of
sunshine here, and there is some issue with D and ACE2 receptors (see
item 3).
- iodine solution to be taken internally (just a drop or two), and
hydrogen peroxide.
- a Nebulizer. I rushed out and bought the last one at our local
pharmacy; more stocks arrive tomorrow.
I also bought vitamin A tablets, Vitamin C powder (sodium ascorbate; it
was all they had), iodine solution for internal use, and hydrogen peroxide.
They took cash, but said that in future they might only accept cards.
They had lanes marked on the floor to keep customers apart from each
other and from staff. Customers were not allowed to touch products
before purchase. The staff wore gloves. One, at the front door, took my
temperature as I came in; she wore a mask, but there were not enough
masks for the other staff.

Question Dr B, I started coming down with what I hope is a cold (runny
nose, cough and headache) I upped my does of A,D an C for the 4 days I’m
back down to maintenance level as of today. I’m not getting better. What
can i do to get rid of this and when should I worry this is not a cold?
As alway you are awesome Dr B
Reply 27 Mar 2020
Penny-Lope, As my patient, I can give you medical advice. Take iodine
along with it. At least 50 mg/day. Also, you can another round of the
higher dosed vitamins for four days. Also, avoid sugar in the diet, keep
hydrated and take a bath with Epsom salts twice per day or go in a
sauna. Worrying does not help a thing. People still get colds! And, keep
up with vitamin C. Keep me posted on how you are doing, DrB
Angela 26 Mar 2020
Would you please post directions for Lugol’s + saline in Neti pot, as
well as when to use the Lugol’s vs straight saline for nasal rinse.
How many times weekly for each?
I recently switched to a Neil Med nasal flush – (the solution reaches a
bit higher & is more sanitary (I switch out the bottle monthly).
Reply 28 Mar 2020
Angela, For my patients, I recommend 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined salt and
1-2 drops of Lugol’s 5% {Iodine} solution in a nettipot. Drain the
sinuses twice per day and more if sick. DrB
Pauline Schwedt 25 Mar 2020
Question Dr. B, a co-workers wife just tested positive for Covid19, I
haven’t had contact with him in a week, should I as a precaution up my
A,C,D and iodine?. I have no sympotms just my normal seasonal allergies,
also Fred, should he as well and should we "self quarentene" . I’m more
worried about exposing my 94 yr old mother inlaw and Fred, not to
mention the people we drive on public transit. Thanks Dr. B your awesome
Reply 25 Mar 2020
HI Patient Pauline, I would take the supplements at the higher doses for
4 days, then lower them down to maintenance again. DrB

The novel Coronavirus, Covid19, is not similar to the ordinary "flu".
This virus is a RETROvirus, meaning it begins as an RNA virus, but it
sequence morphs in to a variant of a DNA Virus. This happens during the
shedding process where vast proteins break open to reveal the nucleic
core of the virus, them massively duplicates itself. Aids ( HIV ) was
our last pandemic retrovirus. Was that simple to eradicate? to cure.
Your very DNA is altered. In addition to that, scientists do not yet
have a handle on the protease involved, and the exact engineering
mechanisms which means we can not AT ALL anticipate how this thing will
play out. How and when it will morph. Also, to suggest that if you get
this thing once you will have permanent immunity is false. China is
already experiencing boomerang whiplash in re contagion. This thing is
closer in nature to SARS and HIV than a common flu, which is why the
"cures" will be variants on the drugs that were employed for those
viruses. Does this mean we should not immerse ourselves in natural
healing methods. No. Now more than ever we need to arm ourselves and
create strong shields. There are many natural protocols that are
effective from Astragulus to Curcumin. Immunity is key….. But AVOIDANCE
is far and away #1….again, we con not predict the future. And viruses
are stealth bombs. Like Chicken Pox which can reemerge years later as
shingles, we may catch this now and experience mild symptoms, but
viruses go deep, hide and re emerge. Into what we don’t know. I am happy
and proud to shelter in place.

Urgent! Are you supposed to take the vitamin dosing for first sign of
illness all at one time? I have a sore throat. Do I take 100,000 mg
vitamin A, 50,000 D3 and 10,000 vitamin C all at once or space it out
during the day? Thank you.
Reply 25 Mar 2020
L, I have my patients take it at the first sign of illness, for 4 days.
All at once is ok, however, if possible, I tell my patients to space out
the Vit. C a little bit. DrB

Lugols Iodine drop taste terrible even diluted with water. What can one

Hi, my cousin puts her Lugols in grape or cranberry juice. I put mine in
tea. Or sometimes just snarf it down in water. Na zdrowie!!!
Dave 25 Mar 2020
I put 12 drops of 2% lugals in my coffee and I can’t taste it. I could
with water however. If you don’t drink coffee, perhaps a strong tea
would mask the taste.
FS 26 Mar 2020
I’ve got a friend that puts it in juice and says he can’t taste it.
Personally, I mix my powdered buffered vitamin c powder with it and I
cannot taste it. There’s also tablet form as well… Iodoral 12.5 mg tablets.
Laurasindoni@yahoo.com 26 Mar 2020
Dr, Brownstein, does the Iodine supplement change during signs of acute
illness if you do not have a thyroid? Does it serve any other purpose
when ill? Thank you.
Reply 26 Mar 2020
Laura, Yes. I say double or triple the dose during an acute illness like
COVID. Of course, check with our iodine-knowledgeable doc. DrB
Laurasindoni@yahoo.com 27 Mar 2020
Dr. Brownstein, I am on day 3 from my illness and doing the vitamin
dosing and I feel so much better! Is that when it usually starts to
help? Curious…
Reply David Brownstein, M.D. 27 Mar 2020
Laura, Made my day!!! It usually helps from 24-72 hours after starting. DrB
Timnah 24 Mar 2020
Hi Dr. B! I love your blogs, super rational & reassuring. I’ve been
mulling something over…from what I gather this virus is heat sensitive.
Would using infrared heat (like a quality infrared heating pad) on the
lung area for periods thorough out the day possibly have benefits? I
know views of heat can seesaw because it also causes inflammation.
Reply 24 Mar 2020
T, Infrared heat, if the temp is high enough, could kill the virus. The
problem is getting the temperature high enough without harming the body. DrB
Julie 26 Mar 2020
This virus arrived in Australia at a time of soaring temperatures. It is
still hot, and the number of cases is growing daily. A large number of
countries affected have hot climates, so I don’t much trust in the
theory that it will improve come summer.
George 24 Mar 2020
You propose large quantity of vitamin C but others mentions that
Vitamin-C is an antioxidant and could certainly provide a boost to your
immune system. But too much, could become pro-inflammatory and actually
poke holes in your natural defenses to viruses and can have the opposite
effect than what many believe. Is this true and how can we go about
making sure we are using the right amount without the damage
24 Mar 2020
George, You need both oxidants and antioxidants for the immune system to
function optimally. Vitamin C and iodine stimulate both antioxidant and
oxidant pathways. DrB
Mirko 23 Mar 2020
Dear Dr., In animal studies, vitamin D increased the expression of ACE2.
Increasing ACE2 could theoretically make it easier for the coronavirus
to hijack the protein and gain entry to the cell. What do you think
about that?
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Mirko, A rat study found vit D did indeed increase ACE 2 receptors.
However, when vitamin D was given with LPS (which causes cytokine storm
in the lungs), vitamin D when given with LPS {lipopolysaccharide} was
found to result in a significantly lowered the negative effects in the
lungs compared to the LPS group. That’s what I think. DrB
Mirko 23 Mar 2020
Dear Dr., Thank you for being our lighthouse in this dark times ?? I
thought iodine is to strong to be nebulized in the lungs. When you say
that you put 2 drops of 5% Lugol’s in 3cc normal saline for nebulizing,
what do you mean in how much water you put 2 drops?
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Mirko, 1-2 drops of Lugol’s IN 3 cc of normal saline. No water. In
normal saline. DrB
Mirko 24 Mar 2020
Sorry to ask, but saline is water mixed with salt or saline is something
else? Thanks
Reply 24 Mar 2020
Mirko, It is water and salt mixed. DrB
Kinabru 23 Mar 2020
Dr. B I know you highly recommend Vit. D, and i am taking it. I have
been reading about ACE 2 receptors: Vit D increases ACE2 receptors in
lungs-but has been shown to prevent damage by LPS (from bacteria), so it
has that protective effect. BUT, C19 uses ACE2 receptor to enter and
kill lung cells, so it could go either way. Any thoughts.
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Kinabru, I find it hard to believe I have been using high doses of Vit.
D for over 20 years and seeing positive effects with viral illnesses. I
have seen the articles as well. The rats did better with vitamin D. My
patients are not doing worse with it. DrB

Mandatory vaccinations will breeze through legislation after this. Won’t
be able to enter the country without proof of vaccination.
Linda 23 Mar 2020
Dr. Brown, I have a strong background in the health sciences and a
daughter who has a strong knowledge background around trauma, anxiety,
stress, and the immune system. One thing we are aware of is the threat
of anxiety and fear to our immune system and the inflammatory response.
I do feel that the biggest threat to the world is fear and stress not
just of the virus but the increase vulnerability of the basic needs of
life. Core needs of a living organism are oxygen (breathe work), water,
food, movement, shelter, and belonging (love, protection, herd immunity,
purpose…). I may have missed something. As a faith based person that to
me connects me to something bigger as well. Thoughts?

Linda, YOU GO! AGREE! The cure–quarantining for us all–may be worse than

Kathy 22 Mar 2020
I am working in a hospital setting that is quickly filling up with Covid

that Quercitin and Epigallocatechin (plant based supplements) work in
the same way. Any thoughts? Im considering having them on hand since I
am definitely high risk.

I keep hearing about inhaled hydrogen peroxide as a course of treatment
if your lungs become affected. What is your take on this potential
protocol? Is there a best way to administer this?
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Cindy, It is a great treatment for lung problems–a lot more effective
and cheaper than what the hospitals are doing. It is best to work with a
holistic doc on this one. DrB
Jacob Bastomski 22 Mar 2020
At what concentration should 3% hydrogen peroxide be used and at what
concentration should Lugol solution be used with respect to using these
items in a nebulizer? And for how long and how often if one is first
starting to express symptoms of a respiratory infection?
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Jacob, This should be done with the guidance of a holistic doc. . The
hydrogen peroxide we mix at the office. Don’t use over-the-counter H202
for this. DrB

The prospect of facing 3-18 months of life like this is scarier to me
than a virus. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has
advised doctors to only test patients for the coronavirus if a positive
result would actually impact their treatment.
Carol 22 Mar 2020
Thank you for being a voice of reason during this strange time. I do
have two question, why so many deaths in Italy? They say that the
numbers are rising there? And you have mentioned taking vitamin A but
not from beta carotene. So what kind do you recommend? Thanks!
Reply 23 Mar 2020
Carol, Italy was not prepared for this and started slowly–like we did.
They also have a much older population. There may be another issue with
Italy, but I am researching that now. Yes, vitamin A has the anti-viral
effects, not beta carotene. Vitamin A from palmitate is my favorite
choice. DrB
A B 23 Mar 2020
Italy has a lot of smokers. Smoking increases ACE -2 receptors which are
the receptors coronavirus binds to.
Jean 24 Mar 2020
Got this from Dr. Michael Murray…….
"Could a new flu vaccine be partly responsible for the COVID-19
mortality rate in Italy?
In case you are not aware, the infection rate mortality rate in Italy to
COVID-19 is dramatically higher. Why? Well the standard answers of an
elderly population and the failure to implement social distancing soon
enough just don’t explain what is happening. My colleague, Dr. Alex
Vazquez, provided me with a valuable insight. In September 2019, Italy
rolled out an entirely new type of influenza vaccine. This vaccine
called VIQCC is different than others. Most available influenza vaccines
are produced in embryonated chicken eggs. VIQCC, however, is produced
from cultured animal cells rather than eggs and has more of a "boost" to
the immune system as a result. VIQCC also contains four types of viruses
– 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses.2 It looks like
this "super" vaccine impacted the immune system in such a way to
increase coronavirus infection through virus interference that set the
stage for what happened in Italy." Jean

Hi Dr Brownstein: Thank you for your blog. If adding Iodine to a
nebulizer what form of Iodine do you use? is SSKI okay to use? how much?
is it okay to add to my glutathione nebulizer? thanks again for your input.
Reply 28 Mar 2020
Linda, For my patients, I recommend using Lugol’s 5% for nebulizing.
SSKI will not have a viricidal effect. I also have had patients nebulize
glutathione. DrB
