The Latest Coronavirus Update
from Dr. Dale, D.C.
How to Prevent or Minimize Infection Severity
and The Key Facts
Greetings!
Keep up the good work Santa Barbara. Continue to Be Smart, and Be Healthy. So far, our county's Coronavirus statistics are Stellar! Please forward this article to as many people as you can. There is some very important and updated information below. By sharing this you can help others reduce their risk and, at the same time, hopefully reduce their fear. Additionally, I am very proud of my patients. With their great efforts of taking care of themselves, I have seen no real severe infections since early January in my existing patients! That is even better than a typical year and I have no doubt it is due to everyones ramped up protocols and focus.
Product Updates
Our Immune product stock has improved, I have been overstocking on all immune products when they are available, but we are still running into intermittent shortages. We have to put limits on certain products, so far mostly only Humacel. So please be sure to let us know as soon as you know that you are going to need something. We have back up products in all categories and if something is on back-order we can put you on a list to save it for you when it comes in.

Our new product, MuSolve, is a sophisticated product specifically for someone having significant lung congestion from any infection . This product is based on a new technology and has seen some impressive results with difficult lung challenges. This product is now available for those in need or those with a past history of lung problems.

Please see in my protocol section a new Preventative recommendation for anyone wanting to do the most to keep their immune system in ready mode and also to help if you get sick.

Emergency Services: I have already been called on to help out with friends and families of patients who needed emergency interventions. Some of these have been severe persistent cases that were responding very slowly to medical care and some are critical Prevention Programs for those at high risk. The good news is we have had excellent results.

I will continue to provide this service for any of your friends or family as needed. As many of you know we ship daily all over the country, so we can help almost anyone in America.
If you have anyone in your circle that needs immune support or advice, please have them contact our office at 805-687-0533 ASAP.
The Important COVID 19 Facts for Santa Barbara/CA/USA
First and Foremost , for those of us in S.B., we continue to do a very good job and the risk of this virus for any one individual is still very, very low. Our County has 192 Confirmed Coronavirus cases as of the evening of April 6th. Out of 446,000 people, that comes to 0.04%, or 1 case for every 2,323 county residents! This is still a very low number!

The Bad news for our town is there was one more death. Our death rate is still very low however, at slightly over 1% of confirmed cases. The good news is that, per our population, that translates to 1 out of 223,000 residents. I can't even figure out how small of a fraction that is.

It is important to know that of those tested for Corona virus, only one out of seven test positive . Because only people with significant symptoms are being tested, it is relieving to know the majority of those who are ill do not have COVID19 . Many people who are getting sick immediately assume they have the Coronavirus, but in our town that is not close to the case.

Our Great News is that of our 192 county residents who have tested positive, 42 are fully recovered, and 110 are well enough to be recovering at home. Only 34 are recovering at our hospital. These are excellent numbers.

Additionally, of the newest testing results released yesterday, only 6 of the 69 cases were positive. That is less than 1 out of 11 . However, things are likely to get worse before they get better. What seems to me to be the worst news, hopefully they are wrong, is that county health experts are predicting that we will not Peak in our number of new cases until April 29th at the earliest forecast. With as late as sometime in July as the Peak date.

I predict we will be on the early end of that, if not even earlier than April 29th. I say that as the models they are using to predict our county are based on many areas that were not on top of this as early in the game as we were. Let's hope I am right, as the timing of the Peak will likely be a significant factor in when we are likely to get more people back to work in Santa Barbara. The economic and social impact this situation will have on the health of our society is still a serious concern among the experts who look at the big picture of health.

Some people will argue,"but these numbers represent only the confirmed cases, many people have not been tested who may have The Virus". This is true. However, for the most part, the cases that have not been tested are not tested because their symptoms are non- existent, to mild. This is generally good news as it means this Virus is less potent for the overall population than our current numbers suggest, and it means that more people will have immunity moving forward. That is a very good thing and essential in the long run. Herd immunity at some point is critical for this not to be a serious recurrent issue in the future.

The other issue that is both national and could become local is the significant shortage of necessary medical supplies across our nation. I make great effort to keep up with information from some of the national experts on the COVID19 issue and this is currently their greatest concern. If there are not enough of the critical supplies in the areas of the country that are hit hardest, the mortality rate in those areas will be much higher. Additionally, this issue can put our medical personal at greater risk.

We still need to respect the Coronavirus as a very powerful virus in its ability to take the lives of those over 65 who also have a chronic health problem. " Other things being equal, those over age 70 appear at three times the mortality risk as those age 60 to 69, and those over age 80 at nearly twice the mortality risk of those age 70 to 79. This is a very dangerous virus to that group".

Our at-risk patients for Coronavirus need a very high level of protection against being exposed to this virus. That is not a fear, that is a fact, and that is something we CAN accomplish.

Please Do Not Live in Fear. Fear is very unhealthy and very dangerous. Be respectful, be smart, don't be scared. Demand facts from your leaders. Fear produces poor decision making, demand more from your leaders. We can live not in fear and, at the same time, dramatically reduce COVID-19 deaths by aggressively protecting the at risk group.
Prevention, Prevention, Prevention is the Key!
When it comes to our immune system, it is critical to always have it prepared to ward off any infection that comes our way. See my lifestyle keys below. The key here is how strong we, the host, are at keeping the visitors from adversely affecting us.

For those at highest risk, over 65 and living with a chronic health challenge, it is also critical to, let me repeat, stay isolated. Same goes for anyone with Heart Disease, Chronic Lung Issues, Diabetes (for all ages), Kidney Disease, Cancer and anyone on Immune-Suppresive drugs.

My patient base is doing a great job of Preventing any serious infections from any source. I have not seen one bad infection in my patients since this began. As you already know, Prevention is critical toward warding off infections. As I wrote in my last newsletter; being a Strong Host is the smart thing to do. It is far easier to prevent this or fight this off in the early stages than to fight a deep lung infection.

Taking great care to optimize the function of your immune system, heart and lungs is what creates a strong, healthy host against COVID19.

The Lifestyle keys to creating a strong, healthy host are:
  • Getting plenty of good quality sleep. 
  • Eating a high vegetable, moderate protein, blood sugar stabilizing diet that is low in sugars, carbs and milk products. Avoid spikes in blood sugar, which have an immune suppressive affect.
  • Getting your regular exercise. Exercise is very immune stimulating and supportive.
  • Taking a thorough supplement regime including some additional immune products.

Lifestyle actions that help reduce exposing yourself and others.
  • Wash your hands often, especially when coming in contact with surfaces where others have been. 
  • Cover your mouth (using your arm is best) when coughing or sneezing. 
  • Avoid close contact with others who are sick. 
  • Wear a mask if you feel you are at risk or risking others.
  • Pay attention to surfaces that someone else may have exposed via a cough or sneeze. If you come in contact with these objects, be sure to clean your hands thoroughly afterwards.
Immune Protocols and Options
Below I have given you basic options, and add-ons if you feel the need, or fall into specific categories. If you have additional questions regarding any of this please call the office or email me directly at drdale@silcom.com and we will get you an answer ASAP.

Some New Key Components for most patients:

The most recent strong recommendation is from some SARS researchers in Europe. They found that Vitamin C was strongly indicated for that virus, and their projections are that it is equally important for COVID19. Our Immune Balancing Complex and Herbal Biotic both contain Vitamin C. However, if you are taking a Preventative dose of 2 - 3 per day, of either of those, I'd recommend for the next 4-8 weeks additional high quality Vit. C. My preferred version currently is either Stellar C or Bio C 1:1. Both are rich in Vit. C, plus a critical co-factor for C, which are Bioflavonoids. An additional capsule at lunch and dinner is added protection, and then at the first sign of any infection symptoms ramp up to as many as 2 with each meal in addition to the C in Immune Balancing Complex .

Vit. D is always important when it comes to our Immune System and almost all of our bodily systems. Taking 1 D3 5000 per day is a sufficient dose, and for those over 40 K2D3 is preferable for other key benefits for our cardio-vascular and bone health.

At the onset of an infection it is beneficial to ramp up on Vit. D3 5000, by taking 3 caps, 3 times per day for 4 days. Vit. D should always be taken with food.

Melatonin, for all patients over 50. The most beneficial article I have read since this outbreak was a very complex article based on much research following the SARS and MERS Coronavirus outbreaks. It very specifically outlined the pathways that clarified how Melatonin has a inhibitive affect on the severity of the viruses ability to impact us.

Therefore I am recommending our 3 mg. capsule for all patients over 50 , taken at dinner or just before bed. I have taken Melatonin myself for many years now.

This has also been associated with the dramatically different levels of Melatonin as we age. Younger children can make up to 10x's the amount of melatonin each night than older healthy adults. Our production of Melatonin gets lower and lower as we age.

The benefit of melatonin in this situation is NOT related to improved sleep. It is a very specific pathway that helps our immune system in this battle and other immune battles. It is very important at helping with the Cytokine storm that you may here of that comes with the, or is the source of some of the complications from this virus.

My Current Prevention Program includes: 

  • Humacel: 2-3 caps upon arising 
  • Immune Balancing Complex: 2-3 caps with breakfast 
  • IG-26: 2-3 caps at breakfast
  • Vit. D5000 or K2D3 5000, 1 per day.
  • Over age 50, 1 3mg. Melatonin capsule at dinner or before bed.
  • Stellar C, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

If you are someone who gets sick often or more severely, use our powder version of IG-26 and take 2 scoops per day. This is very effective at decreasing infection frequency and severity. 

My Active Viral Infection Protocol:
The key here is to be prepared , have these on hand and ramp up as soon as you feel something coming on. 

  • Humacel: 3 caps, 3x’s per day away from food. Upon arising, mid-morning and late in the day. If we are out of Humacel the best back up is CompliVir at the same dosage as Humacel.
  • Immune Balancing Complex: 4 caps, 3x’s per day with food, for 4 days then 3, 3x’s per day. 
  • IG-26: 2 caps, 3x’s per day

Additional support for strong viruses or older and compromised individuals either:
  • MonoLaurin: 1 cap per meal, or
  • Silvercillin: 2 teaspoons, 3x's per day. Swish, Gargle deeply and swallow. 

Humacel is a patented anti-viral product that I have used for many years with many, many patients. Click Here for Humacel Product Information

Immune Balancing Complex is a combination of immune supportive vitamins, glandulars and herbs, designed to support your immune system in fighting infections of all kinds. Click Here for Immune Balancing Product Information

IG-26 is a natural anti-bacterial formula rich in powerful antibodies.  Click Here for IG26 Product Information

Note : Although viruses do not respond to anti-bacterial formulas, viral infections disrupt our microbiome. This decreases our immune resistance, making a subsequent bacterial infection more likely, and demands more of our immune system's overall ability to respond to all infections.

Note #2: I use our water-based Silvercillin Liquid on a daily basis, swishing, gargling and swallowing a teaspoon or two, 1 - 2 x's per day. This is quite effective at killing many viruses and bacteria on contact. It also comes in a spray bottle.

Note #3: I take at least a preventative dose of Humacel every day of the year, first thing in the morning as a precaution.

Increased anti-viral preventative options:
If you want additional anti-viral/bacterial immune support, choose one of these:
  • MonoLaurin is a specific anti-viral extract of coconut that is used to fight many strong viruses. For prevention, take 1 cap at breakfast, or 1 cap at breakfast and dinner. Click Here for MonoLaurin Product Information
  • Silvercillin is a highly effective antimicrobial composed of pure silver complexed with purified water. Silvercillin utilizes a technological breakthrough allowing for the production of a silver particle small enough to enter a single red blood cell, enabling the silver to travel through capillaries, the tiniest blood vessels in the body, and inactivate viruses at the cellular level.

If you are not noticing improvement within the first 3 days, call the office and let them know what your primary symptoms are. We have many other immune products that may be necessary for you.  If necessary, we can set up a phone consult.

Children : The three best products for children, both preventatively and for treatment, are Humacel, Congplex Chewable, ImmunoBerry Liquid and Silvercillin. 

Congaplex Chewable is similar to Immune Balancing Complex, and you can literally have kids take some everyday. They like the taste of it also.

Children under 4 years
  • Congaplex Chewable 1-2 tabs/day, 2 x's 2 if active infection.
Children ages 4-8
  • Congaplex Chewable 2-4 tabs/day,2 x's per day if active infection
  • Humacel (if fever) 1-2 capsules, 2x/day (empty stomach)
Children ages 9-12 (Over 12 follow adult protocols above)
  • Immune Balancing ComplexWith food: 2-3 per day, if active infection 2 capsules, 3x/day,
  • Humacel (if fever) 3 capsule, 2x/day (empty stomach).

For children, If we are out of Humacel or you want additional support, add in ImmunoBerry at 10 - 20 drops, 1 - 3x's per day (depending on the size of your child and the severity of symptoms). Or Silvercillin at a half teaspoon 1-3x's per day
In Closing
I am very hopeful that one outcome of this catastrophe is that our country shifts from a focus of treating disease to Preventing Disease, Creating Health and Very Strong Hosts.

This could be the beginning of a major positive change for our country that will improve the quality of life for many, save many lives, and save many national resources that can be used for other causes.
