USA government is the real sick man of the world

“USA is the real sick man of the world”? Or rather 

“USA government is the real sick man of the world”?


QUESTION: Where does the new coronavirus Covid-19 come from?

The pandemic isn’t exactly over yet but there are already plenty of claims by eager and opportunistic politicians to hold someone or some countries responsible for their actions or in-actions. We saw Europe countries weren’t helping each other right from the beginning and USA govt was and still is not leading the world on the fight against the pandemic. Worse still, USA is the worst and hardest hit country so far. For many of the developed countries who didn’t do and still aren’t doing well are looking for someone else to blame to save faces. 

Some said the China government was slow in alerting other nations and was the origin of the new coronavirus; while some said some European governments and especially the USA govt were slow in reacting to protect the public. The blame games have always been an art that most politicians have to master if they are to excel, at least to survive in politics. Everyone bluffs, not everyone bluffs like a silky smooth politician. Still, we hope we can tell what’s truly wrong and right.

Some countries have also resorted to blaming the WHO (World Health Organisation), for not managing the pandemic crisis... despite the fact WHO has been warning again and again the need for stringent measures to contain the virus. These moronic governments can do pretty low to skirt off their own responsibilities. I feel sad for the people of these countries, to have low level and incompetent leadership. And the fact that some of them have been so-called leading the world; I wonder which hell they’re leading us to.

How do we validate or invalidate the claims? We ask these questions…


QUESTION: Where did the new coronavirus originally come from?

The short answer is “We don’t know yet.” The elaborate, and controversial answers lie ahead of this writing. Read on... Make your own judgments!


QUESTION: Where and when was the first known outbreak (The big one)? 

The well-known first wave came from Wuhan, HuiBei province of China; we’re starting to learn of some earlier smaller ones. Also, read on to see the THREE generations and FIVE main variants of this coronavirus (so far) and the Parent-Children-Grandchildren relationship among them, in order to see where were the GRANDPARENT coronavirus came from.  

For example, check out these thesis and findings:

The rooted network suggested H13 and H35 to be ancestral haplotypes, and H1 (and its descendant haplotypes including all samples from the Hua Nan market in Wuhan) was derived H3 haplotype... Phyloepidemiologic analyses indicated the SARS-CoV-2 source at the Hua Nan market should be imported from other places... [72]

“Now It seems clear that [the Wuhan] seafood market is not the only origin of the virus,” he wrote. “But to be honest, we still do not know where the virus came from now,” Bin Cao of Capital Medical University, the corresponding author of The Lancet article [23] and a pulmonary specialist, said, appreciating feedback from Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Georgetown University.

“Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally”, “The Huanan seafood market in Wuhan has been widely considered the source of the outbreak of a novel coronavirus. But the virus may have infected people elsewhere first.” [99] By Jon Cohen, Science Magazine, Jan 26, 2020. 

Checking out the PATIENT 0 (Zero) or where the virus came from is important to stop the pandemic and blame games. It’s proven to be rather hard to do that. It’s not like every county has the resources and the will to nail down the first confirmed case in the country. Why would they either? To tell the world the country had earlier cases where they didn’t identify in the beginning? To confess they made a mistake in the beginning and try to cover things up? 

Only real SCIENTISTS do that, POLITICIANS don’t. 

We know some politicians have already chosen their sides and for them it’s just a matter of playing the blame plots well to keep their roles in politics, either to win some votes, or to cover their ass, or for their own greedy benefits. 

Fortunately most politicians and leaders of the world are very genuinely wise humans that do their work professionally. We can safely ignore the very few irresponsible politicians skirting off responsibilities and shouting for someone else to be blamed. (If only we can...)


QUESTION: Where and when did the virus first strike the world? (Those SMALLER ONES that most countries hadn’t noticed when the virus first showed up)

New autopsy results (Northern California's Santa Clara County, USA) show two Californians died of novel coronavirus in early and mid-February. One died on Feb 6th, and another who died on Feb 17th, both were at home in the same county, officials said -- up to three weeks before the previously known first US death from the virus.

The two in California had NO "significant travel history" that would have exposed them to the virus.
"Somebody who died on February 6, they probably contracted that virus early to mid-January," Dr Jha told CNN's "New Day" Wednesday. "It takes at least two to three weeks from the time you contract the virus and you die from it,” Dr Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told CNN the finding was significant. [62] 

The connection between the February deaths and coronavirus did not become apparent until now (April 22, 2020) because of strict limitations on testing at the time, Dr Sara Cody, Santa Clara County’s public health officer, told The Post. [65]

The US CDC only released the Covid-19 testing criteria on Mar 3, 2020. Does that mean many Covid-19 deaths related to pneumonia prior to that would be categorized as ‘influenza’ deaths?

In September 2019, the “influenza” outbreak in US caused at least 34 million infections, and 350,000 people were hospitalized, resulting in 20,000 deaths. Some patients with pneumonia were suspected to be caused by e-cigarettes, and were later ruled out. The cause is still unknown. Up to mid April, the CDC says influenza has caused up to 57,300 deaths and sickened up to 41.3 million people, according to new estimates. [102]

On March 11th, US CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield confessed some patients who were thought to have died of influenza were posthumously diagnosed with coronavirus, Covid-19 virus.

On May 3rd, 2020, in an interview with France TV BFM, Prof Dr Yves Cohen, doctor-in-charge of emergency and resuscitation of Jean-Verdier Hospital revealed that a patient of his had been infected with the new coronavirus when the patient was admitted in Dec 27, 2019. The date is close to a month earlier that the official date of the first case of coronavirus released by the ministry of health, France. The patient was sick for 15 days, spread to his 2 sons but not his wife. He hadn’t any contacts with anyone from China nor did he travel overseas or local trip. Prof Cohen re-screened thru 24 genome patterns left behind by patients from late 2019 to early 2020. He has suspected some of these patients had very likely contracted the new coronavirus. Another pandemic expert Prof Olivier Bouchaud ascertained the finding.

Cohen told the BBC's Newsday programme that the patient must have been infected between 14 and 22 December, as coronavirus symptoms take between five and 14 days to appear. [79]

Virologist Sylvie van der Werf and Etienne Simon-Lorie’re have both ascertained that the coronavirus that’s currently affecting France did not come from Italy or China, but came from local.

“It’s also possible there are more early cases to be found,” WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told a UN briefing in Geneva. He encouraged other countries to check records of flu and pneumonia for cases in late 2019, saying this would give the world a “new and clearer picture” of the outbreak. [56]

True. Other places and earlier cases that were accidentally missed or deliberately ignored? No wonder WHO is urging everyone to trace back cases back in late 2019 to understand how the spread had taken place. 

It proves that the current understanding of this new virus is far from enough in the world. Where did the new coronavirus originate? What are the propagation characteristics? Judging from the existing clues, it is not enough to draw an absolute conclusion.


QUESTION: There have been reports of cases linked to 2019 Military World Games held at Wuhan at the end of October, 2019. What do we know about it?

We know of Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman ZHAO Lijian openly questioned the possibility US military brought the virus onto Wuhan soils during the sport game, on his tweet on March 13, 2020.

The conspiracy posits that 300 athletes from the US military who in October attended the 7th Military World Games in Wuhan, where the epidemic first broke out in November, were infected with the virus, thereby spreading it in China.

Zhao shared a clip of CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield's testimony during the House Oversight Committee hearing from March 11th. In the video, Redfield said some patients who were thought to have died of influenza were posthumously diagnosed with coronavirus, which has some similar symptoms as the flu.

And for the first time in a long time in US history a Chinese ambassador, in this case Mr CUI Tiankai, was summoned to the State Department shortly after Zhao's comments were posted online.

There were also rumor five US sport athletes were sent back home with a military jet prior to finishing the game for they were too sick to participate further. It was later revealed that they contracted Malaria instead of Covid-19. The interview didn’t mention USA either, the word ‘foreign’ was used. [64] I bet you’re not sure who to believe...

By the way, China had 133 gold, 64 silver and 42 bronze medals. Russia won 51 gold, 53 silver and 57 bronze. Brazil got 21 gold, 31 silver and  36 bronze medals. [71]

Guess what USA got? ZERO gold, 3 silver and 5 bronze medals... Why? What happened?

The USA was ranked 35th among about 100 nations that took part in the sport games. What happened to the once world NUMBER ONE in sports in the world?

Together with the sad casualty of coronavirus sweeping over US now, do we call: 

“USA is the real sick man of the world”? 
Judging from the many unscrupulous behaviors/actions of its top leaders and politicians would we rather say this? 

“USA government is the real sick man of the world”!  


QUESTION: Is this new coronavirus creation of NATURE? Transmitted from bats, rodents or pagolins to humans?

According to WHO, they reasserted on May 1st, 2020, that the new coronavirus came from creation of NATURAL, not some human-made virus from the labs.

I guess that says it’s a reminder/punishment to human beings who have been doing a lousy job in managing the earth, especially on the cruelty to animals.

“COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic has a natural origin” is the conclusion of a research paper of five scientists from the United States, Britain and Australia published in the journal Nature Medicine on March 17. They pointed out in the paper that the new coronavirus cannot be created in the laboratory, but a product of natural evolution, which may be the virus' natural choice for human or animal hosts. [51]

Now, I’ve been following reports on the origin of this virus for a while. Information has been plentiful and colorful (as to the color of skins). A while after the outbreak started in Wuhan the Chinese people were wondering if the virus only targeted yellow skins but not white people. After a short while it seemed the European have fallen to the virus too and therefore writings shifted direction too: “Oh it’s made by nature to work on every humans!” Yet at about the same time some Black people in USA confidently acclaimed the virus had not a chance on them because genetically they’re different and stronger, a notion they’re paying a hefty price now. There are further articles on how the Black have been sidelined by the relative disadvantages in not having health care insurance, having jobs that get in touch with people more which expose them to the virus more readily and so on. 

So far as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic we can safely say that It seems to work equally well on all human beings regardless of colors of skins. Other than different builds of immune system level, all humans facing the Covid-19 react the way humans would react. 

Fair challenge for everybody. So we’re having the same type of enemy of virus? A new virus from the nature that affects everybody, not something that’s created or genetically altered to infect certain races?

As curious human beings who watch too many dramatic and twist-plot most of us aren’t interested in the nature talk. So let’s assume we aren’t very keen in discussing any further on this nature topic. And that leads us to another obvious point. Very soon on it, read on...


QUESTION: Wait a second. We’ve read about the notion of 5 variant types, 3 generations of the new coronavirus. What are they and what do they imply?

On Jan 19, 2020, a thesis entitled “Decoding the evolution and transmissions of the novel pneumonia coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) using whole genomic data” [72] was published by Wen-Bin YU and three other researchers. The finding concluded that the Hua Nan seafood market at Wuhan is not the origin of the new coronavirus. 

In order to be able to subdivide the sources, the researchers divided 58 haplotypes into five groups, namely 3 center (ancient super communicators) haplotypes (H1, H3 and H13) and 2 new super communicators haplotypes (H56 and mv2). Based on this, it is possible to identify there have been three sources of viruses in Guangdong, and two sources of viruses in Chongqing and Taiwan. 

Among them, a family in Shenzhen, Guangdong, spread through people-to-people early on. There are more samples in Australia, France, Japan and the United States, and their patients have at least two sources of infection, especially the United States has five sources. It is very worthy of attention that H56, the super communicator haplotype, is also the source of infection for patients in Australia, France and the United States, as well as Taiwan. [74]

Meanwhile, according to “Phylogenetic network analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes”, published by Peter Forster and three other researchers in April 8, 2020 [75], there is not only one type of new coronavirus, it is divided into three variants of A, B and C viruses:

Type A virus: the most primitive new coronavirus that infects humans, spreads from bats to humans, and is ubiquitously everywhere in the USA. The study found that two-thirds of Americans with new coronary pneumonia were infected with type A virus, and most of the infected people were from the West Coast; not New York City, which was the epicenter of the epidemic. There are very few cases of Type A in Wuhan, mainly Americans who have lived in Wuhan. (Interesting... )

Type B virus: It was mutated from Type A in China and is the main type of epidemic in China. It is the most common in East Asian countries and has not yet spread out of East Asia. 

“Surprisingly however, researchers found the A variant was not Wuhan’s dominant virus type. Instead, mutated versions of A were found in Americans that lived in Wuhan and A-type viruses were also found in patients in Australia and the US.” [77]

Type C virus: It is considered to be derived from Type B and is the main type of European new coronavirus. This type has also been found in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and other regions, but type C virus has not been found in mainland China.

The paper was co-authored by the British and German research team. The first author, Dr. Peter Forster of the University of Cambridge, said in an online interview with CCTV that the first human infection of the new crown virus may be from mid-September to early December, 2019.

Like any papers published, these papers aren’t without criticism. We do need to read and analyse like a scientist. Go comrades go!

Finally, what do we say to the saying “Of the ABCDE five variants of the new coronavirus, we can find them all in the USA; there are only two of them found in China”? Does that say the GRANDPARENT of the new coronavirus has been found? From the USA? Please leave the answer to all the great scientists. Good luck to our scientists!


QUESTION: Is the coronavirus human-made? If yes, why? And how did it get out of the lab? Deliberately let loose or by accident?

There are always two sides to any stories; actually there are multiple sides to any story as humans are getting more greedy and unscrupulous. 

A report that hasn’t been reviewed titled “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag” [53] was submitted to bioRxiv on Jan 31, 2020. The paper implicitly pointed out that the new coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan is an artificial biochemical weapon. The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been suspected of being the research unit for the new coronavirus. The report was almost immediately withdrawn, drawing criticism of such shoddy research work of rushed methods, and coincident findings, at most.

Recently, there have been more discoveries that some coronaviruses has been successfully synthesized or re-created by scientists again and again, and there has been a wave of "new coronavirus is artificial" on the Internet.

As early as February, the World Health Organization has asserted the new coronavirus is not artificial. There is a genetic sequence difference between the new coronavirus and other coronaviruses, which is strong evidence of natural evolution.


QUESTION: What do we know about this Wuhan Lab? Is it the source of the new coronavirus?

First, the lab is called the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that studies viruses and how they transmit to humans. The USA government and scientists have given funding and training to the lab in the previous years, before the pandemic, and the lab is “part of a coordinated global effort to monitor viruses,” according to the New York Times.

So far we have no evidence that say the coronavirus was from the lab. If the virus has been proven to be natural then that’s no such talk needed. If it’s proven to be man made then some P4 labs around the world with crazy scientists will become really suspicious. There are only about 20 countries which have P4 certification labs. Happy researching, folks. 


QUESTION: Would humans make war weapons from bacterias, fungus and viruses?

You betcha. Not everyone is as sweet as you, my dear.

I currently have a tendency to believe the world war 3 can be triggered anytime by small little conflicts in life by some arrogant and aggressive nation leaders especially those from the few big countries. Two of them, among the big countries that are currently willingly or unwillingly engaged in the wrestles are USA and China. USA has been number 1 since world war 1 and for many years strategized and formulated policies onto the world to keep USA on top. China is the number 2, a rising star awakened from the long sleep. I could be wrong but I think these two countries must have had plenty of resources poured into the research and development of biology of pathogens to be used as... weapons of war! 

There is only one earth and the cake is only so big. It obviously isn’t big enough for a few greedy nations to coexist peacefully. Also, some invisible hands behind some big countries have been on the upper class for too long they wouldn’t wanna share their bigger portions with developing countries. Suppressing these uprising stars with all costs is the only method they could think of. Not only do we have old-fashioned physical wars, we also have wars of financial and economics, wars of artificial intelligence and internet dominance, and of course wars of using bacterias, viruses to cause illnesses and sickness to the enemies.  

The two countries, and probably a few more others, have the capabilities to work on virus to the level artificially altering the genes of viruses to grow them to become potentially lethal to work as weapon in war time. And these bigger countries that have P4/BSL4 labs (Biosafety Level 4) are USA, UK (the two have plenty), Canada, France, Germany, China (including Taiwan), Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, India, Australia, Russia, Italy... (Correct me if I’m wrong, please) 


QUESTION: Have humans made biological weapons in the past?

Certainly.

In 1155, Emperor Barbarossa poisoned water wells with human bodies in Tortona, Italy. 

In 1495, Spanish mixed wine with blood of leprosy patients to sell to their French foes in Naples, Italy.

In 1763, the British distributed blankets from smallpox patients to Native Americans as biological war weapon.

In 1863, Confederates sold clothing from yellow fever and smallpox patients to Union troops during the US Civil War.

In World War 1, German and French agents use glanders and anthrax. [67]

Forwarding to more recent time during World War II, US Fort Detrick began planning a biological and chemical weapons laboratory. After Japan surrendered in 1945, Surgeon General and microbiologist Ishii Shiro, the leader of Unit 731 (Wondering what a Surgeon general and microbiologist leading a unit during wartime?), and Douglas MacArthur, the commander of the US military in Japan, reached a secret verbal agreement so the former would not to be held accountable for war crimes. Researchers of Unit 731 then helped the US develop biological and chemical weapons. In 1947, in Kamakura, Japan, the verbal agreement was properly written down as agreement! The biological warfare program was called ‘Extensive’; and official information suppressed by a treaty with USA in which all charges for war crimes were dropped for exchange of information from experiments. [70]

After the signing of the Kamakura agreement, the US Americans hired Ishii Shiro as a senior consultant at Fort Detrick in accordance with the agreement, and named a building there as 731 for Ishii Shiro research. Later, with the encouragement of Ishii Shiro, Baldwin, the top person in charge of Fort Detrick finally agreed to the unthinkable and used live people to conduct bacterial tests in the United States.

According to CNN, in the 20-year period from 1955 to 1975, a total of about 7,000 US soldiers were forced to undergo chemical and germ weapon tests at Edgewood Arsenal [68] and Fort Detrick.
 
A bit more about Fort Detrick, United States Army Medical Command installation, Frederick, Maryland: Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the U.S.A. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted most elements of the US biological defense program. - Wikipedia, as of May 5th, 2020.


QUESTION: How easy or difficult it is to make/synthesize a new virus from scratch?

We’re no viral scientists. But we know the first synthetic virus was created in 2002, in New York, USA.

Check this out:

The Code To A COVID-19 Solution, A local lab (New York State, USA) is looking to create a coronavirus vaccine in just a few months, By Christopher Birsner -March 31, 2020; It’s led by Stony Brook University’s distinguished professor Dr. Eckard Wimmer. The core of the company comes from Wimmer’s technology that helped him become the first to synthesize a Polio virus from chemicals, from scratch, in 2002. [73]

If we could make a Polio virus from scratch 18 years ago, imagine what humans can do right now...
 
To these days more and more reports are citing different generations of genes in this mutation of Covid-19. The last one I checked was three generations and FIVE variant types from A, B, C, D and E. The scientists do want us to understand their findings by making things so much easy for us. 
The creation of viruses is no easy task; but the true crazy scientists have never been interested in easy tasks either. 


QUESTION: A number of cases of mysterious pneumonia took place in July 2019 at Springfield, Virginia, USA. What viral infection was it? Was it related to the current Covid-19?

It was reported that as early as July 1, 2019, a mysterious respiratory disease affected the Greenspring Retirement Community (Now Greenspring Senior Living Community) in Virginia, US. The disease is suspected to be related to new coronavirus pneumonia related. [82]

According to the information on the official website of the Fairfax County Health Bureau, from July 1 to July 15, 2019, 63 of the 263 elderly people in the Greenspring Retirement Community contracted unknown respiratory diseases and developed cough, symptoms such as pneumonia caused 3 deaths and 19 employees also experienced symptoms. The locals quickly isolated patients and closed the place until the outbreak ended on July 26.

Another nursing home in the county also had respiratory infections on July 17.

Whether this matter is related to the new coronary pneumonia is still unclear. According to official U.S. statements, sudden respiratory illnesses in nursing homes may be caused by rhinoviruses that cause cold and cluster outbreaks, but they occurred during the non-influenza season and were indeed not normal. For outbreaks not caused by the flu, the cause may never be found, because it is difficult to test and find the cause of the disease in the elderly.


QUESTION: US CDC shut down a bio-weapon lab in Maryland in July 2019, of the Fort Detrick US Army. Why was it closed down? Had it leaked out some bacterias? Viruses? Coronaviruses?

Not many people know that Greenspring Senior Living Community, Springfield is only an hour’s drive from Fort Detrick, the US Army biological laboratory, the largest biochemical weapons base in the United States.

On the second week of the mysterious respiratory outbreak report in the nursing home, on Friday, July 19, 2019, the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases was suddenly ordered to close Fort Detrick labs. The CDC issued a cease and desist order for work in the biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories, where researchers handle dangerous pathogens like Ebola and the bacteria causing the plague. The order came after the CDC noted lapses in biosafety protocols during a site visit. Problems with disposal of dangerous materials led the government to suspend research at the military’s leading biodefense center.

According to reports, the institute is primarily responsible for researching bacteria and toxins that may threaten the US military or public health, and investigating outbreaks of disease. Scientists in the laboratory have been using terrible materials, including Ebola virus and various other pathogenic bacterias.

It is precisely the laboratory that has a number of security violations, and several previous safety accidents, including the loss of deadly strains such as raw anthrax and the loss of virus strains, the panic-stricken American people suspected that the new coronavirus could have leaked from the laboratory. There was a White House petition launched on March 10 to disclose the real reasons behind. (This petition is now closed. It has been archived because it did not meet the signature requirements. It can no longer be signed, the website said.) [101]

By the way, as on Mar 27, 2020, Fort Detrick laboratory has been restored to full operations, as Level 3 and 4 laboratories, after roughly 8 months of shutdown. [103]

On Oct 18, 2019, the US govt organized Event 201 - A Global Pandemic Exercise with the participation of the Deputy Director of CIA. It’s right spot-on. The Central Intelligence Agency is surely very intelligent-so much so it knows a natural virus is in brewing (and yet not being able to warn its own govt to take proper measures? Does that mean the USA govt lets its own people suffer and die without taking many actions? Why?). It’s no wonder there are so many conspiracy theories. That’s because there are so many leaked secrets and ‘coincident’ events to lead us to think of these conspiracies!


QUESTION: Why did the USA govt stop paying their membership fee to WHO?

No country owes the World Health Organization more in annual dues than the USA. The $118 million US dollars that US is supposed to pay the group this year amounts to nearly a quarter of the annual fees the WHO assesses to all 194 of its member states.

On top of this year's overdue payment, according to the WHO, the USA also still owes $81 million from last year. Donald Trump, the USA president, says a review is needed to investigate what he calls the WHO's failure to challenge Chinese government accounts of handling initial cases of Covid-19 in Wuhan. [123]

What’s the consequence if USA no longer pays its membership fee? It means WHO will have its funding cut by 15% annually. As long as the World Health Organization has less money, it cannot continue research; after all, research is very expensive. If we can't study it, we can't find out where it came from. Does it in a way imply the USA is guilty of some wrongdoings? And therefore the govt wouldn’t want anyone to investigate further?


NOW WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME? FOR ALL OF US?

So many reports, not many conclusions, so many interpretations, and we keep reading...! 

Why do you keep reading them? It’s stressing and it’s not conclusive... 

“They’re very important ‘cause if I’m looking for someone to blame I’d need all the information that favor my position.” Some opportunistic politicians must be thinking and acting this way.

If you speak good English or some European ones, people may listen a bit more. If you speak Asian, bad luck; not many have a chance to understand you, internationally. Also, if you have strong guns and rockets backing you up, people are forced to listen to you. If you own the media, that’s helping a lot by burying the society with all your talks but no one else. Blame games take place by telling lies one hundred times and more. The more people hear them the more they’ll buy them. Many of us are shallow people, like it or not. Very soon I’ll start to believe the guy who keeps showing up and talking on TVs. Come on, why do you think big corporations pour so much money in advertisement? To tell you the truth? You must be kidding me...


ANYWAY, AFTER ALL THE CRABS OF MINE I JUST WANNA SAY:

Where does the new coronavirus come from and how? What evolution process has it gone through? Everyone wants answers. Although we will not get this answer in a short period of time, I believe that one day it will be known to the world.


A LITTLE BIT SOMETHING OF CAUSE AND EFFECT ON EARTH:

We humans are doing something every second and the heaven (The force of the universe, if you prefer) is watching us every NANO second:

Those with good intention and do the right things right will be rewarded with peace in heaven;
Those with good intention but do the right things wrong will be forfeited on earth with mix bags of happiness and sadness;
Those with bad intention but end up doing the right things will be given chances to learn again;
Those with bad intention and do all the wrong things right will suffer like hell In their current life and after life. 

The law of heaven, humans and earth have mercy on living beings but some humans don’t have this beautiful trait or understanding. Those who have the power yet abuse or neglect their power to do the right things will face the torments and torture of living very soon. We all must learn to be fearful and respectful of the force of nature.

We pray to the force of the universe that these lost sheeps be guided or corrected sooner so that they don’t lead us to hell on earth; and they themselves don’t end up in the real hell by dying miserably either.


FINAL SENTENCES:

The current pandemic of the new coronavirus is still raging all over the world. I hope all countries in the world will focus their energy and attention on the key prevention measures, effective control and treatments. 

There is very likely we're going to have a second wave or even third wave depending on the seasonal changes, social distancing and quarantine measures. (or the lost sheeps realizing about their wrong direction and turning course to compensate and atone) 

I hope we can all fight like front-line health care workers wisely and fearlessly against a common enemy of virus. All other topics of blame games are not important, at least not for now.

I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

General Prevention of Covid-19 from traditional perspective

General Prevention of Covid-19 from traditional perspective

Every human is affected by the new Covid-19. We’re anxious, scared and some of us panicked. And we wanna be calm, well-prepared and take good precautions. We wanna equip ourselves with remedies to prevent the infection, as well as remedies IF we’re infected by it. The internet has plenty of What-to-do and What-not -to-do for prevention of Covid-19 pneumonia and enhancement of immune system; this writing shares some ideas on TRADITIONAL GOOD old-fashioned approaches:



FOR PERSONAL/FAMILY MEASURES/APPROACHES: (other than physical: Masks, home isolation, social distancing, hand washing and etc.):

**DIET, and IN-and-OUT of the body:

- Have BREAKFAST 7am to 9am to provide the stomach with warm food and soup for the whole day of body energy: Every morning roughly from 7am to 9am is when the stomach meridian works the best in biological clock of 24 hours. The nutrients and energy will be converted by the spleen system from 9am to 11am to pass on to the whole body at this time. Therefore breakfast is the most important meal of a day. Hardly any other organs can be strong if breakfast is not taken everyday. Do yourself and your family an favour, have your breakfast within 7am to 9am.

- WARM and WELL-COOKED FOOD: The nature of this virus likes coldness; it will thrive very well if food are cold in nature and temperature. Therefore it’s very important we do the opposite by eating and drinking something warm and well-cooked. And eat them appreciatively too. This works as a good old slow cooker that lasts a whole day to protect us. Moreover, well-cooked food is usually easier for digesting and absorption of nutrients.


- STAY AWAY from GREASY and OILY FOOD: Why? This virus likes it damp too (Transition from winter to spring in many places in the northern atmosphere makes it pretty cold and damp, a DOUBLE BLOW). Dampness in body can form mucus/phlegm very easily and in this situation, they have a tendency to stick in the lungs and at the diaphragm (Check out the photos of tongue coats: Very thick and moist). When that happens the virus can grow abundantly and causes severe symptoms. This is one reason why one person may have mild or no symptoms whereas another person may manifest so badly when they’re both infected by the virus.


Get rid of these phlegm/mucus/dampness off our bodies. Do yourself a favour: REDUCE oily and greasy food:
Damp-Heat: Beef, mutton, BBQ, cheese and etc.
Cold-Damp: Seafood including fishes (Most life forms from the ocean are very damp in nature), ducks, pork, and so on. (Internet has plenty of resources: Search for Warm Hot Neutral Cold Cool of food)

And yes, more animals proteins tend to form plenty of dampness easily.

Oh, by the way, some body patterns have a tendency to turn abundance of phlegm accumulation to inflammation very quickly. We call this dampness sinking inward turning into damp-heat, which makes symptoms more acute and spreading to other organ systems quicker. No good.

- EAT SIMPLE and EASY-TO-DIGEST FOOD: Most forms of multi-grain, dark green vegetables with stems, some forms of gourds and legumes, a little bit of mushrooms, and warm tofu and tempeh too. Experiment and try for ourselves some food that make us hungry in 2 to 3 hours. Those are the food that are easy to digest and fuller absorption takes place more easily. WARM and EASY-for-tummy food: We call this cultivating the Stomach-Spleen-Earth to give rise to stronger Lung-Metal in 5 element theory of organs.

Yes, to use more: Ginger, carrot, apples, lotus seeds, red beans, winter melon and etc. to reduce dampness too.

 

- POO POO: Make the necessary changes to our diet so that we pass bowel motion everyday. If it’s not, we’re accumulating potential damp-heat in intestines; that in turns block the lungs’ function to breathe well. Lungs and large intestines are closely connected in the interior-exterior relationship energy meridians, this is also the reason why if a chain cigarette smoker doesn’t get lung cancer, he or she is very likely to get colon cancer; the toxins in the lungs have been transferred to large intestine. The logic is simple: If we pass bowel everyday one to two times, the lungs can breathe deeper and function better.


- WATER: Drink half a glass of warm boiled water every 30 minutes; It helps to gently mobilize metabolism to prevent stagnation of energy and blood. And only take sips of water if needed after dinner, to reduce night urine and pitted water retention.

**LIFESTYLE and EXERCISES:

- BEDTIME: Go to bed before 11pm on hot summer nights and sleep for 7 hours; before 930pm on cold winter nights and sleep for 9 to 10 hours (It also depends on the longitude of your place on earth, how north or how south). A lot of us say so many hours is important but do not know how human’s biological clock works with the moon and sun: Please go to bed in 2 or 3 hours after the sun sets down. It has to do with how triple burners smoothen the energy along upper, middle and lower openings of the body (around 9pm to 11pm), how gallbladder system flushes off oil and grease in digestive system (~11pm to 1am), how liver system detoxes hormones and enzyme in the blood bank (~1am to 3am), how lungs breathe in the upcoming sun energy (~3am to 5am) and how large intestine passes on bowel motion (~5am to 7am)... Sleeping well at the right slot at night promotes so natural functions of these organ systems. Sleeping during daytime for 8 hours isn’t exactly the same as natural night sleep for 8 hours. Not the same 8 hours. We humans are no bats or cats who have different biological clocks. Please do the sleeping well. We’ll be surprised how well our bodies will become.


- MEDITATION/QI GONG/YOGA/EXERCISE: The first three if done right get us enhanced and effective breathing. Those slow and deep breathing that works all the way down to kidney ancestral energy (More on the Spiritual part). And of course, we do them stress free. Surely very important for enhancing the lungs and calming us too. Exercise on the other hand depends on what type we’re doing; we don’t suppose boxing is the same as swimming, or jogging the same as surfing. Then in this time of limited movement situation, whatever that works at home will do. Work on one or two for an hour or so everyday.

- SUNSHINE: Thank you Mr Golden Sun for shining on my upper back, shoulders from 7am to 10am to warm and lift up my Supreme Sun Bladder meridian and super macho Governor channel along the spinal cord. They both help the kidney and lung Sun systems to stay strong to beat the external coldness from the wind and rain, to prevent sneezing, coughing and catching cold and flu. Do that for 20 minutes every morning. Lovely warm sun. And say bye bye to viruses who like it cold.


**MIND/EMOTIONS:

- STAY HAPPY, not too un-happy, please: Lung system deals with sadness a lot. There is a limit to how much sadness in life an individual’s lungs can take. Beyond which the system may be weakened thus gives in to pathogens like virus in the air to creep in. If we stay calm, with positive attitude, then the lungs become stronger; when people sneeze, we don’t. When people cough, we don’t. We stay super strong.

- CALM and PREPARED; instead of worry and anxious: Do/change/improve the little things we can in our daily activities to feel good about ourselves. Start from something small; We believe that if we don’t take care of small things well, there’s no chance for us to do big things. So let’s work on improving ourselves one small thing/way at a time. Take your time to feel good and move on well-prepared.

**SPIRITUAL:

- REDUCE MATERIALISM: This is physically important as it gives us more time to spend with family, as seeking material returns takes a lot of time and efforts. And also in the end it’s most likely it’s not what our family truly needs in life either. Reduce reuse recycle, the earth can’t deal with humans endlessly exhausting the resource. We really need to sit down and think: We don’t need a lot to live a healthy, happy and dignified life, do we? Ask the question: What’s my last wish before my last breath in this life?


- REDUCE SEXUAL DESIRE: Sexual desire exhausts mostly ancestral kidney energy, which is then the biggest energy reservoir of any mammals. This miraculous kidney energy strengthens and takes care of our brains, memory, determination of life, spinal cords, bones integrity, ears’ hearing, lower back, knees, heels, poo poo and wee-wee, and of course, the sexuality. If we preserve this kidney energy well, all the above will function so well many of us are taking them for granted. I wish that’s the case for you. Then again as a CLINICAL traditional Chinese med doctor, I doubt things are perfect for us in this aspect. Therefore, do ourselves a favour, reduce the thoughts and actions for this desire. Moderate and balance it with your spouse/partner. Applying to our current need, this kidney energy helps the lungs to draw in good breathing so deep to prevent/reduce shortness of breath if pneumonia is to take place.

- I’M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. There were surely something in the past that we didn’t do very well. We could have unintentionally hurt somebody by thoughts, words or actions. We might not know it happened but the person felt the hurt, shame or humiliation for years and tens of years. He or she kept this in their minds and occasionally it came up and hurt them so badly. Whereas for us we don’t even know it happened. For many of us it could have been a casual comment, an action without purpose but unfortunately it has caused the other party one of their worst hidden shame/hurt of life. Whether we’re aware or not, there could be some cursing bad energy laundering around our bodies and in our heads. Do we really think they have no effects on my emotions and body health? What can we do now? Who do we say sorry to if we want to? I don’t even know who they are that I could have hurt. How do I say sorry?


In the end, we just wanna make peace with these parties of people and animals (I’m sure we know animals have feelings and thinking: dogs and cats do, cows and pigs don’t? What about fishes and chicken?). Lucky for us there are good ways to do this. One way is to apologize to them in our minds, in our souls. Do it wholeheartedly and sincerely. They’ll get it. If we want more proof of it, look no further than the quantum physics, look into the spooky quantum entanglement. There’s surely something more to this world than meets the eyes.

So, if we’re sincere and do this long enough, our efforts and hard work will bear fruits soon. Before we know it they’ll happily leave us alone and move on to a happier place without anymore sense of vengeance. Our bodies and emotions will thus become healthier and more lively. Win-win situation I call it. A bit more research into the topic we’ll find many good old civilizations had very similar ideas; too bad many of these good teachings and education are only kept in museums and research institutes now.

I’M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU!

- TAKE GOOD CARE of our PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS/GREAT GRANDPARENTS: Our ancestors gave us the original family energy that was stored in the kidney system in the beginning. The system takes care of reproduction, poo poo and wee-wee, lower back, knees, ears and guess what else? Deep breathing. On those old days there were people who breathed so well their one breath was more effective and powerful than our 4 to 5 breaths. That’s because they were able to breathe with the combi of lung and kidney systems so deep it went down to the heel area too (in the flow of meridians). So now if we want strong and deep breathing capability we wanna enhance the kidney and lungs. Take good care of our parents and grandparents and our kidney and lung systems will be stronger, physically and spiritually.


We may or may not be with them in the same house, still we can take care of them well in physical arrangement. Assure them we’re doing fine and they don’t have to worry about us. Call them often, exchanging comfort words. Love travels way far more than flight.

: )     ; )    = )     ;@)     :@)

CONGRATULATIONS! if you manage to finish reading this piece of beautiful writing! ; ) I can’t believe there are so many constructive and positive things we can do!

Keep doing these practices for a while: 10 years, 20 years, 30 years and 50 years and 100 years and more. Life goes on and on more beautifully!

Good health and happiness to all of us! Thank you!

Swine Flu and Herbal Prescriptions for prevention

Viral infections are actually better treated with herbal prescriptions. Many scientists use herbal active ingredients for treatments of viral-based diseases such as AIDS, influenza. Unfortunately they mostly base their research on microscopic level of one or two active chemical ingredients from the herbs rather than the overall effectiveness of hundreds of natural chemical compounds found in the herbs. And they have neglected the usage of these herbs based on traditional theories such as characteristics, nature, taste, target organs of the herbs and so on.

If we read newspapers in Chinese language around the world, there are plenty of info about herbal treatments as well as precautions of influenza, and influenza A (H1N1; formerly Swine Flu) belongs to one of them. Different body types require different prescriptions. And different stages of the disease manifestations require alterations to prescriptions too. Therefore, the timing is crucial.

For precautions or strengthening our body immune system, one can use a formula such as: 防风 (Fang Feng) 6g, 黄芪 (Huang Qi) 12g, 白术 (Bai Zhu) 12g, 大枣 (Da Zao) 1pc. This formula is good for those who tend to sweat relatively more and get cold easily. The tongue impression should be pale and a little obese and pulse being weak. This formula also helps for people of weak digestion due to weak spleen. By enhancing the energy production of spleen and lungs, our bodies thus are able to generate a layer of protection around our skins, preventing us from catching cold and flu. If the local weather is hot, add 菊花 (Ju Hua) 9g.

Where as for people whose bodies are lacked of energy and inner fluid, the following formula can help to retain fluid in the body so as to prevent inner heat. They are: 党参 (Dang Shen) 12g, 麦冬 (Mai Dong) 9g, 五味子 (Wu Wei Zi) 6g. People with this body type tend to have less fur coating on the tongue and complain of dry mouth.

In terms of creating a shield around the skin to prevent flu infection, former prescription is more powerful. The later serves better in preserving yin fluid to prevent onset of sore throat, headache, itchy throat and so on.

There are also those whose bodies are of the heaty and mighty type. For this category of people, they can afford to take prescriptions that are more cooling and detoxifying: 夏枯草 (Xia Ku Cao) 15g, 板蓝根 (Ban Lan Gen) 9g, 金银花 (Jin Yin Hua) 9g, 紫花地丁 (Zi Hua Di Ding) 12g, 蒲公英 (Pu Gong Yin) 15g, 连翘 (Lian Qiao) 6g, 生甘草 (Sheng Gan Cao) 6g. This formula is also suitable for people who live in high-risk cities as it's very effective against viral threats. Do bear in mind that the cooling and bitter nature of these herbs can hurt the stomach and spleen functions if used for unnecessarily long period. Alterations is necessary to suit different manifestations due to local climate and seasonal changes.

SARS 2003 in China

In 2003 SARS spread widely; there were 5,200 cases of SARS in China, whereas the death toll was only 7%, the lowest in the world. Principal of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Beijing, Prof. Cao Hong-Xin (HongXin) said during an interview that: “The low death toll of 7% is related to application of traditional Chinese medicine in China in treatment of SARS. The later patients at Beijing Xiao Tang Shan SARS hospital all got well mostly because of the use of Chinese medicine.”

He said everyone realized that antibiotics were not effective at that time. The so-called “supportive treatment” of Chinese medicine played an important role in enhancing body immune system, ability to fight virus, stabilizing situations and in preventing cases from deteriorating. According to Prof. Cao, China has a long history of conquering acute viral epidemics, contagious epidemics for 5 thousand years. SARS definitely was not the first.

In the history of human beings there have been thousands cases of contagious epidemics. Death tolls of Europe Black Plaque went up to tens of millions. But in China, none of those epidemics caused more than 5 million lives. One of the reasons was due to the fact that Chinese medicine was able to come in with “supportive treatment” even before the cause of the disease was known.

The major symptoms of SARS are fever, cough and muscle pains. By taking pulse and reading the tongue TCM doctors are able to write down the prescriptions and stop the virus from spreading. This unique characteristic of Chinese medicine is most suitable for eruption of acute diseases. Western medicine has to locate the pathogen first before prescribing medicine; without known pathogens, no drugs can be used. This happened when SARS first broke out where western medicine doctors didn’t know the cause and therefore was clueless to help.

During the treatment of SARS with western medicine, there were side effects of osteonecrosis,osteoarthropathy,steroid-related diseases, DM and etc. With application of Chinese medicine in SARS, it’s recognized by WHO (Who Health Organization) as a safe way.

Prof. Cao has been attracted to “miraculous” TCM since young and decided to pursue the studies when he grew up. Since the age of 14 years old, he’s taken the initiative to read TCM books. After graduation from high school at 18, he went to Heilongjiang College of TCM. He was a gifted child as he got his Ph. D. as a relatively young age. At the age of 37, in 1995, he became the vice principal of Heilongjiang College of TCM, the youngest ever. In 1999, at the age of 41, he became the headmaster of Heilongjiang University of TCM, the youngest ever. When he was transferred to Beijing to be the principal of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Beijing, he was the youngest principal in 50 years. He specialized in liver diseases in his Master program and kidney diseases in his Ph. D. program. After Ph. D., he worked on stomach diseases.

According to Prof. Cao, there are 4 major categories of diseases affecting human beings, and TCM is effective in all these diseases. They are: 1) Cardiac diseases (Stroke, heart diseases), 2) Tumors (Various cancers), 3) Viral diseases (SARS, AIDS, and Hepatitis), 4) Metabolistic Immune diseases (DM) and etc. These diseases are related closely to stress, diet, working environment and so on. Besides these diseases that can cause pain, there are other diseases such as insomnia, depression, aggregation which can also be treated effectively with Chinese medicine.

Prof. Cao said: “70% of the people are not healthy these days. They’re just sub-healthy. In order for people to be really healthy, in TCM, we call it “treating diseases before they happen”. Prevention is better than cure. There are many methods such as Qigong, TaiJi, dietary plan, Tuina, Emotional therapy and many others (like yoga).
