Please enjoy this brief update from the Steve Gruber Show on Real America’s Voice. You may think the claim that twice daily nasal sprays and gargles are better than vaccines is overstated however consider these observations:
On demand sporadic Vicks First Defence and Saline nasal sprays reduced the rate of viral upper respiratory tract infection by ~20% as shown in the Immune Defence Study
Balmforth et al, demonstrated a 71% risk reduction in COVID-19 illness with a xylitol nasal spray done on a regular basis through the pandemic
Influenza vaccine efficacy is running 24-40% in four CDC networks for 2023-2024
COVID-19 vaccine efficacy is negative in four studies, meaning continued vaccination is associated with greater risk of recurrent acute illness
I told Steve Gruber that I have interviewed multiple individuals and have panned my patients. Twice daily nasal sprays and gargles seems to be the trick to going a full year with free of colds and flu.

The first line of defence aganist influenza - and against COVID-19, all infectious diseases, cancer, many chronic diseases, dementia, complications in pregnancy, mental retardation in newborns - is to supplement vitamin D3 in sufficient quantities to attain, all year round, the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D which the immune system needs to function properly.
This is produced, primarily in the liver, by hydroxylating vitamin D3 cholecalciferol on the 25th carbon. 25-hydroxyvitamin D is what is measured in "vitamin D" blood tests. Neither of these compounds are hormones. Many types of immune cell need a good supply of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, by diffusion from the bloodstream, to run their intracrine (inside each cell) and paracrine (to nearby cells) signaling systems, which are crucial to the individual immune cells' ability to alter their behavior according to their changing circumstances.
While vitamin D3 can be produced in (ideally white) skin, from 7-dehydrocholesterol, by the action of ultraviolet B light, this always damages DNA and so raises the risk of skin cancer and for people living far from the equator, is only available in the middle of cloud-free summer days, without glass, clothing or sunscreen intervening, in sufficient quantities to attain (after a month or more) something like 50 ng/ml circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Please see the research cited and discussed at: https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/. This begins with recommendations from New Jersey based Professor of Medicine, Sunil Wimalawansa on the average daily supplemental intake quantities of vitamin D3 which will attain least 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, over several months, without the need for blood tests or medical monitoring. This includes higher ratios of body weight for those suffering from obesity - see the research on why this is needed: https://5nn.info/ temp/250hd-obesity/
For 70 kg (154 lb) body weight without obesity, this is about 0.125 milligrams (125 micrograms 5000 IU) a day. This takes several months to attain the desired > 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D. This is 8 or more times what most governments recommend. "5000 IU" a day sounds like a lot, but it is a gram every 22 years - and pharma-grade vitamin D costs about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory.
These recommendations are included in a recent article with another professor of medicine Scott T. Weiss and professor of pediatrics Bruce W. Hollis: https:// www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/22/3969. All three have been researching vitamin D for decades.
Without proper vitamin D3 supplementation, 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels fall in winter and spring, so we get annual flu cycles every winter, far from the poles. Even in summer, except with lots of recent UV-B exposure, most people have half or less of the 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D they need to be healthy.
This is simple - so simple that some people can't believe it is true.
No matter what other nutrition and lifestyle arrangements we choose (except high level UV-B skin exposure) and no matter what drugs or other medical treatments we accept, we can't be healthy without 50 ng/mL or more circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Except for breast milk from 25-hydroxyvitamin D replete mothers, there are only tiny amounts of vitamin D3 or 25-hydroxyvitamin D in foods. There is no such thing as a vitamin D rich food when it comes to attaining 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, though a few foods can provide a very small amount which is sufficient to raise the rock-bottom such as < 10 ng/mL. Such low levels greatly increase the risk of rickets.
This is true of foods which are fortified with "vitamin D" - often the less effective vitamin D2 ergocalciferol, which is not the natural form. The quantities are too small in any reasonable diet to attain anything like 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Does D need to be taken with K for proper absorption?
We the People are grateful for the courageous work of Dr. Peter McCullough.
I think all of this advice along with the use of certain nutraceuticals would have worked for me if I didn’t live in a retirement home, closely exposed to a majority of residents who have had the COVID, RSV and flu jabs with multiple boosters. I think they’re probably shedding their spike protein and, perhaps, mRNA on me. There have also been an unusual number of deaths here in the past few months from various diseases since the last round of COVID boosters, not to mention a recent COVID outbreak infecting 16% of the residents here, including me and I am unjabbed. I continue use of Xclear nasal spray, antiseptic gargles, Pur (xylitol) chewing gum, probiotics and nutraceuticals.
Allie ... I've seen several of your comments about your situation in the retirement home. I don't envy you. Hopefully you can spend some time outdoors in the fresh air? My first thought this morning was that you're like the proverbial "canary in the coal mine," but actually, a more apt analogy is "sitting duck." Despite the many steps you've taken to shield yourself, you're surrounded all day every day by multi-jabbed seniors, making you a defenseless victim of unwitting perpetrators.
I agree with Dr McCullough's idea of cross referencing cancer and vaccine data! This would be a great way of revealing the truth as to the causality of turbo cancers in particular, imo.
Anyone heard of people getting large thrombus in the iliac artery. I now have a ten inch stent and the surgeons were unable to remove the clot. Stated it didn’t look like plaque. Just some goo and they didn’t send to pathology.
I'm not an expert on clot terminology, and no idea whether you took the shots, but as soon as the jabs were introduced, coroners/medical examiners began finding enormous clots in many, if not a majority, of the injected deceased. This is a 2-year-old study titled "Thrombosis Development After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Administration: A Case Series": https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10400017/. As is typical, it sings the praises of the jabs before discussing the "very rare adverse effects."
I’m not jabbed. Got sick twice and work in the hospitals. Lots of freshly jabbed people along with a the boosters too
Since you're not jabbed, it could be your clot is a coincidence. You can bet that's what it'll be written off as, of course. I'm not jabbed, either, but I do wonder if the jabbed are shedding on me. I've experienced a couple of weird GI-related problems since the jabs rolled out, which I'm sure (not really) are just "coincidence" as well. Sadly, I trust nothing having to do with Western medicine any more.
Is there any difference between Xylitol nasal sprays and iodine nasal sprays. I’ve used iodine nasal sprays and gargles after trips or large gatherings. So far I’ve stayed relatively healthy.
THANK YOU, Dr. McCullough, for providing specific products and use instructions for nasal sprays and gargling! I ordered ImmuneMist from The Wellness Company.
Peter should clarify the effectiveness of these remedies (nasal sprays, gargles, etc.) in a vaccinated person.
