Medcram COVID-19 Cram - A Video Guide to COVID-19 and How It Appears to Work at the Biomolecular Level

Below is a sequence of videos that explains how the COVID-19 virus appears to work, and how vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant supplements might aid in reducing oxidative stress and inhibit the effects of the virus.

Please watch the approximately 10 minute videos in the order listed below, as each one builds upon the concepts presented in previous videos. Note that time markers are included in the links to start at the relevant points in the videos.

Summary Index of Videos:

• 1-14 - Focus on the molecular biology of DNA, RNA, the COVID-19 virus, the lungs, and the body's immune system.
• 15-20 - Focus on oxidative stress as the main result of COVID-19 infection, caused by what the virus is doing to the cells in the lungs and blood vessels.

Since the timing of these videos is early to mid 2020, later videos in the author's series contain references to later studies that confirm the author's hypothesis of what's going on.

Strokes in young patients is discussed, and the role that ACE2 receptors may be playing. Oxidative Stress is introduced.

Video 14: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 62: Treatment with Famotidine (Pepcid)?

Preview of focus change to oxidative stress from COVID-19 infection. Prior videos were from the point of view of COVID-19 as a lung disease, now believed to be a means to an end. Prior concepts are still foundational for the next discussions.

Video 15: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 63: Is COVID-19 a Disease of the Endothelium (Blood Vessels and Clots)?

Molecular biology revisited in terms of energy generation in the body. Oxidative Stress is explained in great detail. Glutathione antioxidant is introduced.

Video 16: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 65: COVID-19 and Oxidative Stress (Prevention & Risk Factors)

Molecular biology of superoxides as a result of COVID-19 infection of ACE2 receptors is reviewed.

Video 17: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 66: ACE-Inhibitors and ARBs - Hypertension Medications with COVID-19

Role of ACE inhibitors in blocking COVID-19 infections is discussed (no effect).

Video 18: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 67: COVID-19 Blood Clots - Race, Blood Types, & Von Willebrand Factor

The molecular biology of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels) from ACE2 reduction is discussed.

Video 19: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 69: "NAC" Supplementation and COVID-19 (N-Acetylcysteine)

NAC and Glutathione is discussed as a means to reduce oxidative stress.

Video 20: Coronavirus Pandemic Update 70: Glutathione Deficiency, Oxidative Stress, and COVID 19

Glutathione deficiency from oxidative stress is discussed.

I started watching these videos to get a better understanding of how the discussions of treatments like HCQ, Ivermectin, Quercetin, NAC, etc., really work, that is, where in the body are these things acting, and why?

I was impressed by the detail, and yet simple, presentation of these highly medical concepts, so I thought I'd compile a linked list of the most interesting video fragments to share here.

Thank you.

I’m in the middle of discussing this with my daughter.

I never watch internet videos.

[Political Junkie Too]

I never watch internet videos.

So don't. I didn't need to know that, but thanks for sharing just the same.

Me, I will watch videos on how to repair the sprayer in my sink, how to replace a light switch, how to replace my lawn sprinkler, etc.

Maybe even videos on how to prepare certain recipes for dinner.

Oh, and doctors explaining how the body works.

But, that's just me... to each his own...

Seheult’s videos are first class. Time well spent if the subject matter interests you.

[lastchance]

I have seen some but not all of the videos. They are presented in a easy to understand manner without being insulting to one’s intelligence. I will have to catch up on the later ones.

[Czech_Occidentalist]

He is one of the few reasonable voices in the Covid crisis. If he were in Fauci’s place, the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, only the most extreme voices from both sides are being heard.

Watched these tonight. It was like being back in med school.

Very informative. THX much for the post.

I’ve been watching Dr. Seheult’s “COVID Update” videos from maybe #10. He has a rare ability to explain complex things very clearly and with simple visual aids. He has been my favorite gp-to doctor.

He’s been on the frontlines treating COVID patients and when he divulged what he does to keep himself healthy, I adopted his protocol (except the extremes of changing clothes when coming home from work).

[Political Junkie Too]

I think I only became aware of his videos a few weeks ago. I saw the one you mentioned but I didn't include it in my list because I wanted to keep it focused on the pure science of the virus.

I was actually about 10 videos into it (videos to keep, not watched) before I realized that they were from the very beginning of 2020 and not current. I think it was the video of "breaking news" about the Lancet paper "debunking" HCQ as a therapeutic being retracted due to the shady dealings of one of the author doctors when I realized the timeline.

Then it made sense to me that Dr. Seheult was giving his honest opinion about the focus on the lungs until he realized that COVID was a blood vessel syndrome and the lung failures were a result of oxidative stress and not direct attack by the virus.

I that point, I was, let's say, amused at his hypothesis with all the caveats. I then saw the videos of him citing the later (fall and winter 2020) papers indicating other scientists coming to the same conclusion about epithelial disease and oxidative stress as what was really going on.

Still, that was almost a year ago and I've not heard that line of reasoning breaking out into the mainstream. I don't know why the focus on vaxxing people with spike proteins is so important when simply blocking the free radicals from forming and keeping the O₂ levels in balance seems to be all that is needed to treat the virus.

I'm no doctor, but it appears that the root problem seems to be that the virus causes the oxidative stress to happen too fast because the ACE2 receptors that manage it are blocked. The proper approach, then, is to keep the oxidative stress in check with things like NAC and Glutathione until the body can catch up and naturally build up the antibodies to kill the virus.

Everyone's still stuck on the "ventilator" mentality that they're racing against lung collapse instead of racing against free radical buildup. The lung issues were early reactions to not knowing what was really going on. Now we know, I think.

It seems that the approach should be Quercetin or HCQ and Zinc supplements to keep the cells strong as a preventative, and then NAC and Sulforaphane (e.g., BroccoMax) to keep the Glutathione strong.

The reason the virus is affecting the seniors the most is that the seniors have a reduced Glutathione capacity from age, and they more quickly go into Glutathione deficiency, which lets the free radicals go wild. Keep the Glutathione in balance, and the body ought to take care of the COVID-19 virus in due time, I think.
