Evidence-Based Hydrotherapy Against COVID-19


I do a lot of research. 1 of our latest papers that we are about to publish, we are showing how in a patient that started doing the lifestyle changes that Dr. Sutley was talking about a few minutes ago. After a couple of weeks of doing those interventions, as he was working together with a medical doctor, he was able to actually save $5, 800 of medication he no longer needed. We're about to publish that paper in a few weeks.

And this is what these interventions can have the benefit. You can actually save money. Let me share with you another of my previously published clinical cases. This 1 patient, a classic patient that comes to us. He has diabetes, He has bad control of his glucose, so he already has some damage to his nerves on his legs.

He also has problems with blood pressure. Even though he's taking 2 medications, his blood pressure is too high. He's taking in total 3 medications. So what he did, he did intensive lifestyle changes and in a matter of only 18 days, he was able to lose 16 pounds. His blood sugars came down to normal.

His blood pressure came down to normal. The team of physicians working with him had to stop his medication. Now after he improved he didn't say oh you know I'm gonna go back to my old lifestyle. No, he learned his lesson. He had cooking classes and all this encouragement during those 18 days so he continues doing the changes at home.

In a matter of 5 months he already has lost 83 pounds. His physician keeps checking glucose and blood pressure everything completely normal. He has not been put back on those medications. And then in a year, 09:11 months, he receives a full physical exam together with some complete laboratories and blood pressure is perfect. Cholesterol exactly where we want it 140.

Parenthesis is the numbers for the our Europeans and Africans that are watching this program live. Also LDL 61 perfect that's exactly where we want that bad cholesterol. Prostate exam also improved, but the most surprising number that we see here is what is called the hemoglobin A1C. A 5.5 hemoglobin A1C means he is not a diabetic under control of diet and exercise. This diabetes has gone into remission.

He is no longer a diabetic. And in fact, after a year and a half with the new lifestyle, that has caused him to lose 141 pounds, no longer having issues with his weight, no longer having diabetes, no longer hypertensive and a complete healing has taken over his life. Now he reports more quality of life, better energy, better thinking capacity, better sleep quality, and so forth. So, for those that wanna access that research, I have more than 130 research projects that you can access on ResearchGate. Everything here is free.

We're not selling absolutely anything. You can just Google Francisco Ramirez ResearchGate and that should take you to that ResearchGate page. There's also a Twitter to help you motivate with the lifestyle changes, EddieRDMD. There's a YouTube page, dredieramirez.com with many videos. A nasty problem that we are facing.

I mean, stopping this virus is as simple as trying to stop this fish. It's quite simple. Look at that. Very, very simple. So this is exactly the problem.

Things are increasing exponentially and you have a bunch of people that have it, and you are not stopping it. So, the problem with this virus has to do with its composition. This virus has those spike proteins, and those spike proteins will get stuck to different areas of your body, depending what the virus attacks is what gets stuck. And these proteins actually get stuck to your lungs. So the problem there is that once they're way down there, there's a lot of trouble getting that virus out.

So then in your lungs, you have this receptor called the ACE2. And you know, have you heard about the classic conspiracy theorist? They're like talking about, oh, you know, they invented in the laboratory and they send it to infect everybody. Have you heard that story? That's fake news.

That's not true. We know that because these same proteins are found on bats. This virus came from bats, from violating the principles of not eating those creatures. So once the virus goes inside your system, the code of the virus gets transmitted into the lung, the virus hijacks your own mechanism and starts to create proteins in order to rebuild itself and starts to make copies of that virus and your own body starts pumping out all these viruses all over the place. And people should stay home, but some people have this attitude.

Normal people should stay in bed, But people with coronavirus, some of them say it, oh, spread it across the whole canvas nice and even. By going out and coughing this thing, it goes everywhere. And the problem with this is the following. Have you seen people with mask? See, that doesn't help you stop it.

It stops the person spreading it stop it. That's the 1 that should be wearing a mask. So 1 thing we need to do, we need to learn to wash our hands properly. So what you need to do, you need to make sure you cover these areas of your hand. You need to make sure you do your thumb.

Most people don't do their thumbs. Make sure you wash your thumb. And when you close the faucet, you do it either with a paper or with your arm because if not, you infect things. The issue is that this virus stays for 3 days on the surfaces. So somebody may have cough, put their hand there, and 2 days later you touch there, you grab that.

That's the reason why you need to wash your hands. Now some people say, well, doctor, I carry with me sanitizer. Well, it doesn't work that well. In this published study, they were showing up that if you have mucus, the mucus, actually, when you put the sanitizer, the sanitizer doesn't get to the virus. You need to physically wash the hand to get it out.

And 1 of the huge sources is in your own pocket in the cell phone you're carrying there. That thing is loaded with germs and so does your keyboard and your mouse. So that's the reason why when you affect yourself and you touch your face, you pass the virus. So 1 of the issues with sugar is that the more sugar you eat, the less your immune system works. And this is a study actually from Albert Sanchez, the 1 that I do research with here from New Start, showing how the problem is not that the immune system, the number gets less, but rather the immune system cannot work properly with that.

Another issue is psychoneuroimmunology. You need to learn to control your thinking because if your thinking is not well, your immune system goes down. That's why, look at this study, spending time in nature, 1 of the best ways of improving your immunity, doing CBT, and exercise on a regular basis. This is my study in which we were showing how, in fact, Eastern meditation is as good as placebo. It's no good according to our patient population, more than 6, 000 people in our study.

And we know that we need to use things such as Nitric oxide, the same thing you use to open the arteries on people with atherosclerosis, nitric oxide, this is a published study, will stop the replication of the coronavirus. Where do you find that nitric oxide? Where do you buy it? Don't buy it. Get yourself greens, things like your kale and your celery and so forth.

And also Vitamin D. Vitamin D doesn't have anything magic. So 1 of the things you could do is the hot and cold shower, but the issue with the hot and cold shower is that the body doesn't get enough warm. We want it to be even a little bit warmer than that. This is what we did when we went and visited the country of Finland.

After going to the Saunabat, you can see the snow there, there's my daughter. That lake there is 33 degrees. There's my other daughter. And you can see there is my wife. And that's me.

Boom. As soon as you touch that water, man, your temperature goes back to normal. By the time I get out, you can see how everybody is running away. So we're going to simulate this with Esther's help. So I have 1 of my daughters, Talita, is gonna come and help us demonstrate how you can do this at home.

Okay, so the point here is circulation, right? So the chair is supposed to be plastic because we don't want to burn and she is supposed to be wearing like a bathing suit, something to touch her skin. So she's going to be relaxed and we're going gonna wrap her with a sheet. So we have a sheet and You need a source of, you need the steam. So I like to use the kettle.

Some people put it under the chair, but it's so easy to burn with the steam. It's better to put it a little bit behind the chair. And this 1 has water, it's connected, so you need to use your imagination. So we're gonna wrap her she's wearing a bathing suit and we're wrapping her with a sheet all around her body. So if you have a large person you should this is why I have this king king size sheet.

We're gonna combine this with a hot food bath so that's going to increase her temperature even more. So the water in the hot food bath needs to be a hundred degrees or a hundred and 4. Or 104. So all around you're going to make a tent basically. So you're covering the hot foot bath and you're covering also the kettle in the back.

And then on top of this you can put a blanket and then a plastic and she's gonna be really hot. How long Is she supposed to stay there for the nursing students or health students? Remember? No more than 30 minutes. 20 is fine.

With a blanket, I focus more on her back. And I like to use a towel to make sure that if the steam comes out of the tent, it's going to burn her face. The steam can really burn like really quick. So we're going to use this towel, like a scarf, just to cover, just to make sure she's... And what do we put on the head?

Cold, because the brain doesn't like to be hot. So we keep this 1 with, this is gonna have cold water. You keep it at hand so you can be switching the little towel on her head. So we're gonna put a small towel on her head. And then you can use pins if you want to cover the if you need to pin the the sheets And that's it.

It's simple, but you have to stay with her all the time so if you have someone helping you it's better because if you have to go get something and sometimes she gets oh it's burning on my oh where where you need to move the steam you can open the tent a little bit and make sure because this can burn in 1 second so don't leave her alone and offer water to drink. If you give her warm tea, she's gonna be even more hot. So you can give her tea. Would you like some tea? Because her hands are inside, you're going to have to offer the water or the tea.

If she's really thirsty, you can check the pulse. Be careful. And if it's more than... Let's say it's 140, what would you do? You need to stop the treatment.

That's way too fast. After this, you have to do a cold friction to finish. That's going to really stimulate your... When you hear circulation, it's not just the blood circulation, it's your lymphatic system circulation. So Lymphatic system needs, you need to exercise so your muscles are pumping the lymph up and every time you move.

So that's circulation. When you hear circulation, it's not just blood. It's also lymph. So after this, you know how to do friction. Friction is as simple as just, if it doesn't look red, that is not good friction.

It has to get red. It's really, really hard. So we finish. We can, we can, now the water, the water on the foot bath, it has to stay, if it gets warm, it's going to have a different effect. So you have to make sure the water in the hot food bath is hot, because hot and warm is not the same, right?

So if it goes down to 90, it's not hot anymore. It has to be between 100 and 104. 110, you're going to start burning the skin. So we're good. And just contraindications, just watch out somebody with heart problems.

You wanna make sure you got a green light there from the doctor, somebody very elderly, you need to be extremely careful. In fact if it's a very, very frail person you should avoid doing this or somebody very, very young. So watch out for that. Make sure that you're in communication with the patient at all times.
