The Fear of Healing: Variations on a Case

By Charles-Edouard!

News from our friend @Saamred

It's interesting to hear such good news from people who have read a lot of us... There are 3 types of PTCs (post treatment controlers): those that we find by chance (rare), those that we find by looking where we think we find them (Viscontis, Antwerp ...) and those of intention, who have undertaken a process in which control is possible. This is what interests us most!

The commentary is timely, since here is one who controls, but is afraid and resumes treatment ... This is the topic of the day...

A controller identified by chance...

Here, we will dwell and, for lack of a better word, embroider a bit, on what may have happened in a study in our Eclipse bibliography. Sneller (2020), takes chronic patients under effective treatment and studies the dynamics of rebound. There, Surprise!

One participant (#03), who spontaneously controlled his plasma viremia, resumed ART even before meeting the criteria for restart.

This patient is indeed found in the table, restarting treatment at week 13.

A PTC that falsifies this study, and the others...

We had seen that in the Davey Study, a very long Eclipse patient was distorting all the statistics. It lengthened the mean and especially the standard deviation(one should be wary of automatic calculations...). We had the table, we could redo the calculation. Here, it is the other way around: the patient takes the initiative to resume the treatment, thus shortening the recorded duration, integrated in the calculation.

The control arm tests are distorted

As we saw in the Levothyrox case, comparing population A to population B only makes sense if the standard deviation AND the range are both narrowed. In the 'modern' patient, this is no longer the case: we have a little of everything: between 1 and > 4 weeks

The Thirst for Glory incites to deceive the patients

Control arm trials are flawed, and sometimes unethical. Not the trial itself, but its preparation: an example is given by a Spanish study: Extremely low viral reservoir in chronically HIV-1 infected treated individuals.
What is the point of having a weak reservoir if not to be able to try PTC or, even better, Eclipsotherapy? Having a long Eclipse and treating 7/7: how stupid!

It is not difficult to imagine that the constitution of registers of patients pre-selected for trials is not compatible with explaining them on 4/7 (or even better). In order to do medical science, doctors are probably tempted to keep silent about reasonable alternatives...

On the road to recovery, there are...

Either the PTC or the Eclipsotherapy... Both allow to simulating a cure. Including seroreversion. Imagine: No RNA in the blood, no DNA in the reservoir, no residual meds in the body, and a negative serology. A sweet unattainable dream? Not sure, we'll see that another time...

Some anti-COVID news

-Ivermectin is entering the medicine cabinet. It is now the standard of care in many states (see here Ivermectin, used for Covid treatment in UP, replacing hydroxychloroquine. Funny to observe the absolutely canonical curves in India: one wave, an epidemic in decline, 10 times less deaths than in France. And, them, they still know how to make medicine!

- I tried the Raoult glove techniqueThe situation was right: I only had household alcohol (it leaves an unpleasant feeling on the skin) in a crowded place, touching a lot of things. It is necessary to understand it well:
-1- Beginning of the procedure: clean your hands well with alcohol (one that does not damage, if possible)
-2- Put on new or previously sterilized gloves
-3- Clean your gloved hands with alcohol (even rotten) very often (alarm every 30 min.)
-4- At the end of the procedure, disinfect the gloves well, then remove them and re-clean the hands
-5- Disinfect the gloves with alcohol (outside and inside) in order to reuse them (or destroy them)
Results: very good procedure, no hand aggression, use of cheap alcohol. Very happy!

- A reasonable plea for early treatment: The need for early management of patients with COVID-19

Obligation of treatment / Judiciarization

We are obviously interested in all the media hype about mandatory vaccination for an easily treatable disease, when, on the other hand, systematic HIV screening would allow its eradication... The associations do not want it... Why then ???

In the news

- Alex Sigal, excellent biologist, already quoted here, highlights a lower efficiency of acquired immunity against the Lacombe-AstraZeneca 501Y.V2 variant: Escape of SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 variants to plasma neutralization in convalescents

Whatever the concentration of 'old' antibodies the Lacombe-AstraZeneca mutant doesn't care!

One can expect a violent awareness of the consequences of the Pharisaical School of Verology(Lacombe, Pialloux, Pazdan, etc.) on the health crisis of nerves. If one (or more) variants could escape from a place of care, what about a place of manipulation such as Wuhan?

The French genius (well... yes... almost...)

This beautiful wool is the first award-winning work of Karl Lagerfeld. It's amazing! You can find it on YouTube. YouTube... from which Leibowitch has almost disappeared... Bizzare isn't it ? Almost 1 year since he left us. Not sure I'm inclined to comment anytime soon. Maybe time will help...
