The Hospitals Are Not Full of COVID Patients

The pandemic that no one dare speak of: 79% of people hospitalized for COVID-like illness test negative for COVID. The vaccines protect against testing positive among those hospitalized, but not against winding up in the hospital with the symptoms. And deaths? We have no idea. What the heck is going on?

Dmitry Kats, PhD: From Niatonin to Niacur

In this episode, I have Dr. Dmitry Kats, MPH, PhD. He has a PhD in epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many people have asked me what I think of his Niatonin protocol for COVID. And as you'll see in this interview that has since evolved into the Niacur protocol, which now has the dosing regimen of just niacin and curcumin, having abandoned the melatonin from the original protocol. You will find in this 3.5-hour conversation all about the justification for that prot...

If you follow Dr. Rose on her web site or YouTube channel, she is first and foremost an analyst of the adverse event reporting system. If you follow her substack, her bio is simple: "I am a dissident." Her academic bio emphasizes her expertise in biology and imm...

If glutathione whitens your skin, is that good or bad? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #294

Short Answer: Measure this against whether it increases your likelihood of burning. If it does, it's probably a bad thing, but if it doesn't, or if it lowers your risk of burning, that's a good thing. Watch the video or listen to the podcast with the links below.

Vitamin D supplements, testing, and interactions with the vaccine. | Masterjohn Q&A Files #293

Short Answer: Vaccination shouldn't change the vitamin D requirement. Quarterly testing makes sense for someone who has never tested before or who wants to make sure they stay in range during COVID, but generally testing yearly around the mid-point of seasonality for you, once you know your variation, is plenty.

BH4 vs tyrosine for low neurotransmitters and a high phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio. | Masterjohn Q&A Files #292

Short Answer: BH4 is expensive and requires very high doses, so if the problem is modest it can much more easily be solved by taking tyrosine.

Does TMG have to be taken in the fasting state? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #291

Short Answer: While the body will tend to use TMG for methylation in the fasting state, it is normally found in food, so you should be able to absorb it with meals and hold on to it for later use, much as we do with folate.

Is urinary mycotoxin testing useful for indoor mold exposure? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #290

Short Answer: When I had a serious case of indoor mold-induced illness, I tested my urine and my apartment dust for mycotoxins. Both were high, but the classes of toxins were totally different between the two, making me think the mycotoxins in my urine came from food rather than my apartment. Symptoms going away when outside of the apartment was a far more useful clue, so I think you should consider the cost of a vacation, the cost of mycotoxins, and assume you get more information out of taking...

Ferritin sky-high without hemochromatosis? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #289

Short Answer: Even if genetics and other bloodwork don't look like hemochromatosis, sky-high ferritin justifies trying to lower it with blood donation or phlebotomy if inflammation markers are low. If this doesn't work, oxidative stress should be investigated. Watch the video or listen to the podcast with the links below.

Will the booster shot be worth it? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #288

Short Answer: If optimizing for efficacy, the booster shot will likely be worth it for Pfizer, whereas other vaccines don't have clear evidence of declining efficacy yet. If optimizing for safety, one should be skeptical of the booster since a 3-dose regiment hasn't been tested in clinical trials. Watch the video or listen to the podcast with the links below.

How to use carbs and glycine for sleep. | Masterjohn Q&A Files #287

Short Answer: To get adequate raw material for melatonin synthesis in the brain, carbs can come any time of day and are best if high-glycemic. To suppress brain histamine levels, carbs in the evening, with low protein and relatively low fat, is best. From among protein, collagen is best at night for the glycine.

What are the downsides to taking prescription calcitriol for bones? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #286

Short Answer: It requires more frequent dosing and has some risk of hypercalcemia, and it would be best to make sure you have adequate D and magnesium and aren't overdoing anything that could deplete D, such as other fat-soluble vitamins, first.

Does quinolinate sometimes indicate niacin or inflammation instead of B6? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #285

Short Answer: B6 cannot be ruled out, though inflammation and estrogen could also be involved. While it is possibly a regulated means of increasing excitatory effects of quinolinate, it makes sense to assume it may respond to B6. Watch the video or listen to the podcast with the links below.

Why would 5,000 IU vitamin D cause tooth sensitivity? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #284

Short Answer: While it is unclear, it could relate to vitamin K depletion, hypercalcemia, or compensation in acid-base balance. First and foremost, use the full testing algorithm in Testing Nutritional Status: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet (available at https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/cheatsheet ) rather than just testing 25(OH)D to determine deficiency.

What's the best and most affordable diet for a hungry teenage boy? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #283

Short Answer: A half a gram to a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, no more than 20-40 grams of that from protein powder, and whole foods supplying the targets for vitamins and minerals, erring on the side of overshooting them. Lentils and other legumes as primary carb foods and supply a portion of protein, and adjusting quality of meat to what you can afford, can help with budgeting.

Why would MCV be elevated if MMA and FIGlu are normal? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #282

Short Answer: If the cause is nutritional, FIGlu cannot rule out folate deficiency as a cause because it reflects tetrahydrofolate rather than methylene-THF. So, increasing the dose of folate or switching from methylfolate to folinic acid could be tried. Otherwise the most likely nutritional solution would be copper.
