Are We Losing the COVID Fight?

The Origin Question We're Too Afraid to Ask, And Why It's Costing Lives

A Message from Dr. McMillan

One of the main reasons I remain deeply engaged in COVID research is that I believe this virus continues to cause harm, even if the signs are subtle.

The Omicron variants may produce milder symptoms, but that doesn’t mean the underlying damage to health has stopped.

While the public may take comfort in moving on, the scientific and medical community must stay alert. Vigilance, not complacency, is what will protect long-term health.

FEATURE ARTICLE

COVID-19

  • SARS-CoV-2 continues evolving five years later, unlike 2003 SARS which disappeared within two years after exhausting mutations.

  • An internet researcher uncovered evidence suggesting lab origin: early biowaste contracts, coronavirus testing orders, and no intermediate animal host has yet been discovered.

  • The SARS-CoV-2 virus contains a unique furin cleavage site that matches a US patent, enabling unprecedented multi-system infection across organs.

  • Origin determines treatment strategy: a natural virus needs standard antivirals; an engineered virus requires targeted furin-blocking approaches.

Why this is important: Emerging patterns suggest mRNA vaccines may temporarily disrupt the body's immune regulation system, potentially accelerating pre-existing autoimmune conditions and weakening cancer surveillance. If confirmed, this means millions received interventions without understanding how these treatments may affect the specialized cells that prevent the immune system from attacking itself.

STROKE

  • Strokes occur when brain blood flow stops due to a clot (ischaemic) or burst vessel (haemorrhagic), killing brain cells.

  • Rapid treatment is critical, "time is brain", as delayed care causes more brain damage and worse outcomes for patients.

  • The “BE FAST” acronym identifies stroke signs: Balance loss, Eye problems, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time matters.

  • Telemedicine and mobile stroke units enable paramedics to consult specialists remotely, accelerating diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Why this is important: Recognizing stroke symptoms immediately and seeking emergency care can determine whether someone survives, recovers fully, or suffers permanent disability. With strokes increasingly affecting younger adults and brain cells dying every minute during an attack, understanding warning signs such as facial drooping and speech difficulties may enable bystanders to save lives through swift action.

MEDICAL NEWS IN BRIEF

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

🚥 How a New Light-Based Cancer Treatment Could Destroy Tumours Without Harming Healthy Cells – Using LEDs: Cancer patients may soon access safer, targeted therapy using simple LED lights and nano-materials instead of toxic chemotherapy. This matters because treatment becomes affordable, portable, and precise, destroying tumors without systemic damage. For millions in underserved regions, it could mean the difference between accessible care and no treatment at all.

🚥 Should I Take a Magnesium Supplement? Before you buy that magnesium bottle, consider this: most people already get enough magnesium through food. Blood tests, not wellness influencers, should determine deficiency. While migraine sufferers may benefit, evidence for sleep and cramps remains weak. Overdosing carries risks, and combining supplements can create dangerous vitamin B6 levels. Dietary sources trump tablets.

🚥 Graying Hair May Reflect a Natural Defense Against Cancer Risk: Gray hair reveals cellular protection against melanoma. When pigment-producing stem cells encounter DNA damage, they either self-destruct through differentiation—turning hair gray but eliminating cancer risk—or, under carcinogenic exposure, retain renewal capacity and expand into tumors. Aging and cancer emerge as opposing responses to the same cellular stress. [SOURCE]

🚥 Decades-Old Asthma Theory Challenged: Asthma medications might be fighting the wrong enemy. New molecules called pseudo leukotrienes appear to drive airway inflammation more than previously suspected culprits. These are formed through oxidative chaos rather than controlled pathways. This shift could revolutionize treatment by targeting root causes instead of symptoms, potentially helping millions with inflammatory conditions. [SOURCE]

🚥 Social Media Usage Linked to Lower Cognitive Performance in Preteens: Heavy social media use during adolescence correlates with measurably weaker performance in reading, memory, and vocabulary: the cognitive building blocks of academic success. Unlike passive screen time, constant scrolling taxes the developing brain. This evidence strengthens the case for age-gated platforms and gives parents data-backed reasons to limit access during formative years. [SOURCE]

🚥 Mpox Strain That May Be More Severe and Easily Spread Is Found in L.A. County for First Time: Two Los Angeles residents contracted a more severe mpox strain without overseas exposure. These are the first such cases in America. This shift from imported infections to local transmission signals the virus is now circulating domestically, requiring urgent public health vigilance.

BOOK NOOK
