#204 Dr Mercola on COVID-19, Vitamin D, and Metabolic Flexibility

Joseph Mercola (0:00)

For the subpopulation of the COVID that had critical or severe illness, 96%, 96% of that population had low vitamin D levels.

And then you take those who had really mild illness, 96% of them, of that population, had normal vitamin D levels. So you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand there's probably some significance to this.

Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our guest today is Dr. Joseph Mercola. Dr. Mercola runs the largest health website online. He's also a best-selling author of several books. In this episode, we're going to talk about a free ebook Dr. Mercola made with other doctors about how to stop COVID cold. This episode is brought to you by KAATSU Training. KAATSU bands incorporate blood flow moderation training that trick the body into thinking that it's lifting heavier weights than it actually is. When traditional weight lifting requires you to reach 70 to 80 percent of your one repetition maximum to stimulate muscle hypertrophy, then KAATSU achieve that effect only at 20 to 30 percent. So it's perfect for treating injuries or use when you don't have access to heavy weights.

Research about KAATSU bands also shows it lowers blood pressure, speeds up recovery from injuries, releases stem cells, builds muscle, burns fat and prevents age-related muscle loss.

These things are a game changer and I use them almost every day. If you want to try out the KAATSU Cycle bands, then use the code SIIM for a 10% discount at katsuglobal.com. That's katsuglobal.com and the 10% code is SIIM.

Dr. Mercola, welcome back to the show.

Joseph Mercola (1:50)

Well, great to be with you, Siim.

Siim Land (1:52)

Yeah, it's always good to talk with you and it's currently we're recording this podcast in early September 2020 And like the first kind of major coronavirus wave has passed and during the summer, there was like pretty low amounts of cases relatively. But we can probably expect that there's going to be some second wave or a third wave. We don't know because that's how like pandemics tend to work in history that there are several waves.

So how is the situation in the United States at the moment and what do you think is going to happen like in the next few months?

Joseph Mercola (2:27)

Well, it's difficult to predict who would have been able to predict this, but more than likely, they'll inject another virus, reactivate this one or a new one and continue the.

I believe planned interventions to create more fear in the population so that they can increase their tyrannical control. So the reality is that this infection isn't that serious. The CDC recently in the United States came out, I think was last week, admitted that the actual people who died from coronavirus, specifically from coronavirus and other factors, was 96% less, 96% and maybe 94%. It's only 6% of the people who are formerly labeled as COVID deaths are really COVID deaths. I mean, they were they were marking people as dying from COVID, who would die in a motorcycle accident or die from cancer and happen to have the infection, even though there was, all they did was had infection, did not kill them. So when they did a more serious analysis, it was a relatively small percentage. So, but the end result is that I think it's a it's a wake up call for many and to recognize that there are strategies that we can incorporate with our lifestyle that will help improve and upregulate our immune strategy, immune system, rather than relying on the conventional recommendations, which everyone knows is a bunch of hogwash. I mean, they are they they are absolutely ridiculing and suppressing any alternative to conventional medical therapy. And what is their medical therapy? You've got expensive interventions like remdesivir, which is an antiviral. And then, of course, the upcoming warp speed coronavirus vaccine, which has never been able to be successfully produced. And over 10 years of trying, they have never had a successful event.

And it looks like in some of these trials, the phase one trials and two trials, they have 100 percent people getting them are having side effects. And the AstraZeneca just had to stop the recent trial, put it on hold, at least because one person just had an absolutely disrupted immune system with neurological complications. So this is exactly what you'd predict.

There is essentially no safety testing being done. They skipped all of those precautious interventions to accelerate the distribution of this vaccine.
