Thankful for #TeamAirborne, whose tireless education is keeping many of us protected from wildfire 🔥 smoke now.

Cleaning indoor air w HEPA + wearing N95s outside = healthy 🫁 ❤️.
Inhaling wildfire smoke can be extremely dangerous for human health. The smoke contains a mixture of gases and fine particles that can penetrate deep into the respiratory system and cause a range of health problems, including:
1. Respiratory Issues: The smoke can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, causing coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. It can also exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis.
2. Cardiovascular Issues: The fine particles in the smoke can enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation, leading to increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
3. Immune System Suppression: Wildfire smoke can suppress the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
4. Long-term Health Effects: Exposure to wildfire smoke over an extended period can lead to chronic respiratory diseases, including lung cancer.
5. Risk of Death: In extreme cases, breathing in wildfire smoke can lead to death, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions.

Wanna share my experience today.

I am back in NYC and the air is, as you know, hazardous ⚠️.

Never experienced anything like it.

Much of my stuff (incl fave air purifiers) is still in storage, but I have 2 SHARK hepa air purifiers here…. Shark brand hepa purifier r...
They have air quality meters on them that generally read between 95-100 (100 being best).

Today, w windows closed, HVAC on, the readings were around 53. 😱 Never saw them so low. Apt smelled like 💨.

NO air purifiers left in my neighborhood stores.

So….
I called my friend/ IAQ expert @sri_srikrishna 🙏. I knew he’d help me craft the best plan.

He advised me to go to the hardware store (who still had box fans & filters!) and “DIY” a few extra air purifiers.

We FaceTimed in the store so he could help me choose the right parts.

💚 May is #Lyme disease awareness month.

@CTurlington generously supporting the cause (pre-pandemic before anyone freaks out that we’re indoors).

I almost lost my life to Lyme after it went to my ❤️ while a dozen “top” docs just thought I was stressed 😠. Image
Chronic Lyme caused beloved, brilliant @dukemedicine oncologist/ scientist @drneilspector to lose his ❤️, have a transplant, and sadly, ultimately die in June 2020 from it.

He wanted everyone to know he died from chronic Lyme. He was one of my dearest friends. Image
. @drneilspector turned his attention to link between Lyme, bartonella, & cancer before his death. He believed these pathogens likely caused cases of various cancers, including some breast cancers.

He died from chronic Lyme.

Fixed it for ya.

No airborne organ damage while seeking medical care! 🧠 ♥️ 🫁

Rebel against this insanity. Image
Healthcare workers should be wearing respirators to BLOCK TRANSMISSION CHAINS, and so should the patients they take care of, if possible.

To be clear, I am not advocating for cloth or surgical masks. I am advocating for respirators, because they work to stop transmission.
It should ALWAYS have been the case that the public be honestly informed abt “masks,” & that #COVIDisAirborne & cloth / surgical masks are extremely inadequate.

N95s have been widely available for YEARS now but public still told, “just wear a mask. Or 2.”

NO. That is wrong.

“What happened, kids, is that they all kept getting SARS til there was no one left to fly the ✈️….”
“Yes, kids. The government didn’t protect citizens. In fact, they made it impossible for everyone not to get SARS over & over if they wanted to be part of society.

They spent trillions on biodefense & none of it mattered in the end.”
“And no, kids, it’s not normal for your little friends to be dying on the playground or winding up in the hospital for STREP. It’s just the natural consequence of the government failing to protect us from SARS & allowing it to rip through the population unchecked w no cures.”
