Viral Mutations and Selenium Deficiency
Chinese researchers solved the problem of pandemic viral infection mutations more than 20 years ago with research clinically proven among nearly 2 MILLION people; why is this information being ignored
What is a viral mutation?
DrV: A change in viral structure/function due to a survivable genetic/DNA/RNA damage
What causes viral mutation, or genetic mutation in general?
DrV: The most common causes are 1) random errors, 2) oxidative damage, or 3) chemical exposure (especially in animals with Cp450 systems) that results in direct binding of chemicals to DNA called intercalation
Most common and relevant biochemical cause of genetic mutation in viruses:
DrV: Appears to be free-radical damage i.e., oxidative stress caused by oxidant imbalance, antioxidant insufficiency
Given that the most common correctable cause of viral mutation is free radical / oxidative damage, then what is a reasonable and clinically-proven solution to the problem of human viral infections caused by mutated viruses?
DrV: antioxidant supplementation
Has this been proven?
DrV: yes, in 1) clinical trials, 2) exemplary proof-of-concept reports, and 3) population-wide public health interventions
How long have we had this information?
DrV: for at least 20 years, since at least the year 2000/2001
Why aren’t politicians and the mass media informing the public of this safe, effective, affordable, and proven intervention?
DrV: politicians and reporters are ignorant about health, medicine, nutrition, and these advaced concepts; additionally and perhaps worse is that politicians and reporters are paid by the pharmaceutical industry to ignore this data, to avoid honest inquiry, and to shun and censor experts with advanced knowledge
How can we describe the use of selenium supplementation to combat viral mutations and infections?
DrV: as follows:
safe
effective
affordable
available worldwide
available immediately
proven
published

Viral Mutations and Selenium Deficiency
Dr. Vasquez, I have two questions for you. I have been trying to wrap my mind around the current world wide protocol on treating covid. (and its failings). I have listened and read your post on the article about masks and Carbon dioxide levels and health concerns regarding there use. I have also been exposed to the idea that Covid is an aerosolized virus, which isn’t stopped by a mask, though a mask should stop droplets from a sneeze. In your scouring of the medical literature for relevant articles, have you seen any articles that speak to this theory? I guess my ultimate question is: are masks effective in anyway that you know regarding reducing transmission of covid or are the benefits so marginal that it makes it a worthless practice?
My second question: I have looked at all of your videos i could find on the vaccines and see that it is clear that they do not stop the spread of covid, however, one of their greatest claims in the news now is that they have made a massive effect on reducing the death rates and that most of the deaths in the ICU are being reported to be primarily within the unvaccinated. This seems to me, to be their last bastion of defense to support their agenda to vaccinate the whole world. Could you speak to this sometime? I have seen a few examples showing this not to be true. I recall the case of 14 vaccinated cases that were in the icu that died or have severe reactions, and I believe another report of higher vaccinated cases in the hospital in Massachusetts. But that is all I have found to refute this claim.
Thanks for all your critical thinking and hard work gathering your evidence regarding covid, as well as your amazing book, “Inflammation Mastery” (I originally purchased it as a hardback, but found it so dense with material that I repurchased it for my IPad so that I can more easily study it with out getting carpal tunnel.) Your healthy thinking.substack.com and your book continues to broaden my understanding of what real healthcare, and ethical practice is all about!
