How’s Your Health – Part 3

Monday, May 26th, 2025 - By Patrick T. McBriarty
“Oh My Gawd!” [In my best Valley Girl voice.]  It has been more than a year since my last post.  I suppose my excuse, like everyone, is life gets busy…  My writing fell off the table. New Home in St. Francis Last May, I purchased a house in St. Francis, Wisconsin (half-mile from the lakefront, just south of Milwaukee) and dove into the move and getting settled.  Home projects ensued, which never seem to get completed as fast nor as easily as hoped.  Read More

Follow the Science… Anyone, Anyone?

The narrative current over the past 11-months has been overwhelmingly in support of vaccines.  The same time I was pursuing a regimen of repurposed, off-label prescription drugs, a modified diet, and boosting vitamins to fight off long-Covid.  In retrospect, from my experience, thousands in online support groups, and front-line doctors it is clear these medicines indeed work.  Today, I am no longer suffering from crushing fatigue, shortness of breath, malaise, and am beginning to really live again.  Although still not 100% these treatments have made a huge difference.

My frustration now has a new focus.  The crying shame of the U.S. medical establishment is resistant to recognizing Ivermectin as a remedy to mild, severe, and long-Covid-19 symptoms — particularly as huge segments of the population wait for vaccines and continue to get sick and many die. There is a lot of good information to share with doctors about Ivermectin.  Certainly, IVM may not work for everyone, but with little or no side effects and the potential upside against Covid-19 why not try it?

Mmmm ma My Corona!

Monday, March 30th, 2020 - By Patrick T. McBriarty
I am not going to get all “soap-boxy” about what should have been done to combat this pandemic.  Plenty of that can be found elsewhere, but suffice it to say face masks are a good idea.  In Czech Republic they have used them quite successfully to curb the spread of the Coronoavirus (COVID-19). In my case, I believe (without readily available tests, still unconfirmed) I came down with Coronavirus last Monday (3/16).  I have no idea where or how I got it.  Read More
