The Latest Coronavirus Update
from Dr. Dale, D.C.
Some Exciting Announcements
Plus Impressive/Challenging Key Facts
Greetings!
This is my 5th Newsletter on Coronavirus and I am glad to say once again, 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, but we are still running into intermittent shortages. Lately mostly only Humacel. Currently it is in stock, so please be sure to let us know as soon as you know that you are going to need something.

I have had to use our new product, MuSolve, in two persistent lung infections so far and it has been extremely impressive , getting dramatic results within a week. It is a sophisticated product specifically for someone having significant lung congestion from any infection, or difficulty breathing. 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.
Announcing TeleMed Services with Dr. Dale!
This should turn out to be one of the few benefits to come from this challenging situation. I have been introduced to a new TeleMed platform that is Very Secure and allows me to have face-to-face appointments with new patients, or my existing patients who live out of town or prefer not to come into the clinic at this time.

For a limited time there will be special pricing to introduce you to this service.  My normal fees for phone consultations range from $71 - $125, based on time. My rates for this introductory service are as follows (good until May 7th):

15-minute TelMed appointment: $55 (normally $71)
Up to 30-minute appointment: $75 (normally $95)
Up to one-hour, typically reserved for Complex New Patient cases: $95 (normally $125)
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.
Our Viral Successes!
As mentioned above, the good news is we have had excellent results! What I am referring to is my track record with treating patients with acute and chronic infections, both Bacterial and Viral. These cases range from severe staph infections and chronic or acute strep, to viral infections like Hepatitis C and the "so far so good" Covid-19 patents.

I have had 2 Covid 19 patients, both from out of the area, neither were patients before and I was called on after they were severely rundown and suspicious of infection. One had already tested positive. Both have responded very favorably and within a week are out of the woods (as long as they keep up their protocols).

In general, conventional medicine has very few and generally ineffective options when it comes to viruses. The wonderful exceptions are HIV and Hepatitis C; these have seen life saving drug therapies, but once again, they are the exceptions.

The very complex Medical Podcasts that I listen to regularly can only "hope" that something along those lines comes along for Covid-19, but they are not expecting it.

Once again, it comes down to how responsive the Immune System is of the Host!

Here is a great example of that. Over the weekend Iceland released their nation's Covid-19 statistics. They received a lot of attention, as they are the first country to have tested 10% of their population. No other country is even close. For example, the U.S. has tested just about 1%.

Iceland was also smart enough to test both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. The startling statistic was that 50% of the asymptomatic population they tested, were Positive! No expert that I have followed thought any percentage of asymptotic individuals over 25% would be seen. These individuals were healthy enough, their immune systems were so responsive that they didn't even know they had fought off this dreaded virus! When you read my article below about Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, this is the issue it speaks to. This is the issue that matters most.
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 334 Confirmed Coronavirus cases as of the morning of April 16th. Out of 446,000 people, that comes to 0.075%, or 1 case for every 1,335 county residents! This is still a very low number! 

To take a closer look at Santa Barbara’s numbers, I removed stats from Lompoc, including the prison (which is a unique situation unrelated to the rest of SBC), Santa Maria and the smaller north county towns. The remaining total reflects cases from the Santa Ynez Valley down to Carpinteria. The total for this portion of the county is only 85 confirmed cases! That number brings our rate down to 0.036%, or 1 in 2,776 residents.

Another Key Santa Barbara Insight is that of the 42 positive cases in SB, a significant portion of that number appears to include our health care workers. Since our last report there were 7 new positive cases in SB and there are 7 new positive healthcare workers. We don't know for sure what percentage of our total SB city cases are healthcare workers, as I haven't seen this reported, however, my estimate is that it is a significant portion.

The other Good News for our town is no new deaths have been reported since April 5th. Our death rate is very low, at 0.6% of confirmed cases. Comparing deaths in the county to total population, our rate is about 4 deaths per 1,000,000 residents. Compare that to NYC at 821 deaths per 1,000,000, New Jersey at 396 deaths per 1,000,000, or Louisiana at 246 per 1,000,000. California impressively is at 24 per 1,000,000!

Our Great News is that of our 334 county residents who have tested positive, 134 are fully recovered, and 144 are well enough to be recovering at home. Only 38 are recovering at our hospital. Also, the number of patients in ICU is down from a high of 19 to a recent low of 14. These are excellent numbers. 

Exciting News! Dr. Niko and I have been tracking a 7-Day Rolling Average of New Cases, and even with a recent spike of 37 positive cases in the Lompoc Prison, our curve is flat. If we remove that spike then daily new cases are definitely on the downward trend. This is a “finger’s-crossed” situation, but on one level that is the best we can hope for given the approach California has taken.

Last newsletter I predicted that SB County could be at the early end of the Public Health Department's prediction of a peak in new cases coming somewhere between April 29 and later in July. I believe at this time that we may even beat the April 29th date. Especially if we take out the unusual statistic of the Lompoc Prison Affect.

The Complicating News to the above is that the aggressive Lock Down in California, which has worked at keeping our states and city's numbers very low, leaves us in a more questionable situation moving forward when controls are lifted. It is only a matter of time before exposure picks up again and with our history of strong control, we have less people already exposed, which leaves more people at risk of once again spreading the virus. How this will play out is the big question. Unfortunately it does increase the likelihood that we will have future spikes that could lead to future shutdowns. Let's hope that is not the case.

We still need to respect the Coronaviruses ability to threaten the lives of those with chronic health challenges. This group, especially if they are over 65 are still at great risk and need a very high level of protection against being exposed to this virus.

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.
