The FDA and Fusion Health and Vitality LLC are recalling two products: CORE Essential Nutrients; and Immune Boost Sublingual Vitamin D3.  The CORE product contains an unapproved food additive hordenine HCl and is therefore considered adulterated.  Hordenine is unsafe if ingested and may elevate the heart rate and blood pressure.  The Immune Boost product has labeling that renders it an unapproved new drug.  If you have either of these products, stop using them and return them to the point of purchase for a refund.  If you have additional questions, contact Fusion at 1-888-964-5327.

Fear of CoVid has kept millions of children from receiving scheduled measles vaccinations this year.  That shortfall only adds to the missed vaccinations that precipitated this year’s measles outbreaks.  A worldwide CoVid vaccination campaign will only add to the problem.

The WHO working group on measles and rubella issues this warning with the sobering data that measles caused 207,000 deaths in 2019, 50% more than in 2016.  These tragedies were all preventable.

As the US ramps up for CoVid vaccinations, don’t forget about the MMR and flu vaccines.  Remember too that there is evidence that these latter two vaccines may also give you some umbrella protection against CoVid while you wait for its vaccine.

One COVID feature is blood oxygen levels dropping without patients realizing they are sick.  This silent oxygen deprivation does lasting damage to multiple organs.

Biomedical engineers at Boston University and the University of Vermont, using patient data and computer modeling, show that the oxygen drop is due to 3 mechanisms.  Lung regions damaged by CoVid do not block blood flow and divert it to healthier regions, they have abnormally high blood clotting, and, finally,  CoVid  produces a mismatch of air flow to blood flow in the lungs.

Low blood oxygen levels can be an early sign of CoVid.  Consider buying and using an inexpensive pulse oximeter and using it on a daily basis.
