In this pilot episode of the Prevent Another Corona podcast, author and herbalist Marcos Patchett comprehensively charts the history of cacao from ancient times to the present day on many levels – including its cultivation, preparation methods, health properties and place in our culture. The picture Marcos paints in his book ‘The Secret Life of […]
In this series of articles I’m going to describe the underlying factors that have caused covid-19 and the ensuing lockdowns and restrictions. Rather than seeing covid-19 as a sudden event that happened because of some particular cause (ie zoonotic disease accident, lab leak, government/pharma conspiracy to get us all jabbed etc…). I will frame it […]
While everyone seems to have it in for Bill Gates right now, the more I read about the history of agribusiness’ relationship with the influenza virus and the more I realise about modern food’s impact on our health (and immune system…) the more I begin to think we’re missing the real conspirators here. I’m going […]
Covid-19 had its roots in deforestation and displacement of bat populations. It reached humanity via the live food markets of Southern China. Both these factors are entirely preventable yet we are still at the stage where the WHO is merely urging bans on live food markets. The causes of the pandemic remain essentially un-addressed. The […]
Like so many of the factors that lay us open to pandemic disease, poverty is both a cause of the covid pandemic AND a consequence of our short-termist reactions to it. Poverty has always been a risk factor in your health. So it should be no surprise that studies and analyses are showing us that […]
Life may return somewhat to ‘normal’ in 2021 because of the new Coronavirus vaccines – but the long term problems that caused the pandemic will remain. When looked at from a long term perspective, vaccines and lockdowns are the wrong place to be putting billions of dollars of our tax money. And if we’re going […]
Covid-19 is a respiratory disease. The suggestion that our polluted modern air contributed to severity of the pandemic, on the face of it, sounds plausible. According to the WHO outdoor air pollution kills approximately 4.2 million people every year. These deaths are caused by ‘increased mortality from stroke, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung […]
It’s easy, with all the media coverage on case numbers and the latest lock-down rules, to get caught up in the repercussions Coronavirus is having on our lives and lose sight of what caused our current pandemic. Coronavirus didn’t just happen. At worst we caused this. At best we made it much more likely to […]
I don’t like being contraversial unless I have to…. So I’m happy when I can quote something from the CDC. This link has been updated periodically on their website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/evidence-table.html Essentially it’s a table collating evidence of how pre-existing medical conditions correlate with a bad covid-19 experience. Right at the top of the list stating […]
If you take a look at the results of ‘Did deforestation cause Corona?’ in a search engine, you’ll see that there’s currently a lot of speculation on the subject. This article will outline: How deforestation may have contributed to COVID-19 Why humans are causing it and what we can do to stop it How deforestation […]
