DAY 10 - Increasing Virus Exposure 1000-Fold by putting Q-Tip nasal swab from son's nose into mine.

Monday - I told everyone that if I did not get infected with Covid in the first experiment, I would bump it up a notch.  So, let's give it a shot ...

Certainly, after 10 days of intense efforts of large exposures trying to become infected (and not being successful), it would suggest the strategies I've implemented (as outlined in over one dozen peer reviewed journals) are highly effective in preventing infection.  So far, 10 days in..  no symptoms and negative testing after intense Covid-19 exposure).

UP THE NOSE WE GO
So, in the photograph above, my son tested positive for Covid with the antigen home test kit for a third time 5 minutes before this picture was taken.  In the left picture he uses a Q-tip to swab in a circular motion 5 times in his left nostril and 5 times in the right nostril (for media or research groups interested, we have unedited video documenting this process).  

In the right picture, I take the Q-tip and swab 5 times in my left nostril.  In other words, by doing this we intentionally transferred exponentially higher numbers of viral particles directly into my nose, just where the virus loves to grow.

DEATH WISH or LOGICAL EXPERIMENT?
To most of you, this may sound like nothing short of suicide, but I have intensely studied the nasal defense and understand a few of its miraculous complexities and ways to maximize their efficiency.  For example, in a study I described on my personal FB page (which I'll review here later), it was found that those who became severely ill with Covid-19 had lower levels of beneficial nasal microbiota. The term microbiota refers to the trillions of beneficial bacteria now being found to perform critical functions to keep us healthy.  Yes, bacteria can be good... 

So, these good-guy bacteria not only produce compounds inherently toxic to viruses, but they also communicate with immune cells to increase their efficiency, both of which greatly reduces the ability of viruses to multiply.

Interestingly, many people have low levels of these good bacteria while others have high levels. Along with this, the level of beneficial bacteria present in our colon has been shown to correlate with the level of beneficial beneficial bacteria in or nasal passages, throat and lungs.  Bottom line, the more benefical bacteria we have that stimulate immune functions, the less likely the individual is to suffer from enhanced viral growth.  Personally, that sounds like worthwhile news. 

Next point to consider - since we now have studies clearly showing a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables generate a large improvements in our beneficial gut bacteria (microbiota) - you can see how my dietary interventions would be expected to be helpful. 

SPIDERMAN DEFENDERS
Along with this, the mucus in our nasal cavity contains an army of what are called "collectins" and "defensins" - These rascals are composed of immune cells and other microscopic defenders that can identify when a virus gets stuck in our nasal mucus - and like a spider in a web, send out warriors to kick its ass - and I'm counting on these spider guys as I type this sentence to keep me healthy. 

KNOWING WHO GETS SEVERE COVID TAKES THE EDGE OFF
As we all know (or should know), the risk for severe Covid is not the same for everyone.   It's a fact that in nearly EVERY severe Covid-19 case, the person has comorbidities such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, or is taking immuno-suppressive drugs for autoimmune diseases like arthritis and also occurs in people undergoing cancer treatment. 
MICROSCOPE PREDICTS ILLNESS
The picture here shows the microscope I use to test something very important.  I do this by grabbing the blue lancet (at bottom of picture) and using it to prick my finger and squeeze to show a drop of blood, I then literally "suck" the blood into the glass pipette (seen at bottom picture).  Next I dilute it with a little vinegar - mix for 30 seconds and - WALLAH! - I have a perfect mix and place one drop on a special slide known as a hemacytometer. 
 
HEMACYTOMETER MAGIC
The hemacytometer is a special slide etched with a fancy tic-tac-toe board in which we can then count our PacMan - virus killing - life giving white blood cells.  Here's an interesting fact you don't hear much - people at greatest risk of dying from Covid-19 have very low levels of white blood cells, specifically, low levels of white blood cells called LYMPHOCYTES.   Lymphocytes usually comprise about 30% of all white blood cells and these dudes are the nemesis of Covid-19. 

In fact, in the many studies I've reviewed on this topic, people who get sick and die of Covid often have lymphocytes below 1,100 per drop of blood.  While the infection itself can lower lymphocyte count in some (not all) people, one study from New York found having a low white blood count for the months preceding infection increased the risk of Covid-19 and death.  This certainly makes sense if you think about it.  

I HAVE A REALLY GOOD WHITE BLOOD CELL ARMY
In looking at my blood today, my white blood count is about 6,700 and lymphocyte count is close to 2,000.  That's the number of immune cells in basically a drop of blood.  Therefore, I have a white blood cell army that contains far more soldiers than people who become severely ill from Covid-19.   In fact, people with my white blood count are often asymptomatic in numerous studies conducted on this topic.

MY ARMY WASN'T ALWAYS THIS GOOD
My white blood count wasn't always at this higher number.  Decades ago, when I was experiencing health problems, my white blood count was around 3,700 for many years.  It was only when I switched to all organic food - stopped using pesticides and disinfectants in my home, and focused more on natural based consumer products, that my white count and lymphocyte count improved dramatically.  This is not unsual. In a study done in Europe a few years ago (and reviewed on my FB page and at coronanlm.com), researchers hired professional pest control applicators to conduct a routine in-home pest control treatment in hundreds of homes.   They measured white blood counts before and after the pesticide application.

WHITE BLOOD COUNTS DROP
After the single pesticide treatment, families experienced an average loss of 500 white blood cells per drop of blood - and this low number continued for many months.   Since indoor pesticides are routinely applied in offices and homes in most countries, we can see how this could have serious consequences on increasing rates of viral infection.  This much of a drop is enough to move someone from asymptomatic to symptomatic or from moderately sick to severely sick. 

WHAT'S NEXT
So, as of this moment, it's been about 24 hours since I pushed this exceptionally large number of viruses into my nose from my hesitant but cooperative son.  Immediately after doing this, I did experience a slight burning sensation in my nostril but this lasted for only about an hour.  Now, about 24 hours later, no fever or symptoms yet - but since the virus grows for the first few days, you would expect I would become at least infected and possibly severely ill.  I'll pick up more Covid tests and report my status in my DAY 11 blog.
