Keto-flu is a misnomer.
The symptoms one experiences when removing carbohydrates from one’s diet is actually the body experiencing chronic carbohydrate overdose addiction withdrawal symptoms.
Aka carb dependency withdrawal
Carbohydrate withdrawal symptoms is not implying the symptoms are only because of addiction.

Why did so many German doctors join the Nazi Party early?
“During the Weimar Republic in the mid-twentieth century, more than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions”
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
“From early on, the German Medical Society played the most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program, beginning with the marginalization of Jewish physicians, proceeding to coerced “experimentation,” “euthanization,” and sterilization, and culminating in genocide via…

Patients with T2DM, CVD, conditions of hyperinsulinaemia, have lower: bone remodelling and osteocalcin levels, and increased rates of fragility fractures.
T2DM “hyperinsulinaemia-osteofragilitas” bone phenotype presents with normal to increased BMD mdpi.com/2227-9059/9/9/…
Hyperinsulinaemia and IR positively associate with increased BMD and fragility fractures
Mice were given a ketosis inducing high fat diet (using MCT oil as 80% of calories), this reduced tumour mass whilst maintaining body weight, reducing cachexia, which is the most dangerous phase of cancer.
The problem in dietary interventions in mice studies, is a lack of clarity in an accurate description of the diet and its subsequent metabolic/endocrine effects. Many research papers, when calling an intervention a high fat diet, they actually mean high carb with high fat...

Trends in Prevalence of Diabetes Among US Adults, 1999-2018
Cross-sectional study
n=28,143 participants from NHANES
Estimated age-standardized prevalence of diabetes increased significantly, from 9.8% in 1999-2000 to 14.3% in 2017-2018 jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
This is data where diabetes is overt. There are stages of T2 diabetes:
stage 1: hyperinsulinemia with normal glucose levels,
stage 2: hyperinsulinaemia with mildly elevated glucose levels (aka pre-diabetes),
stage 3: hyperinsulinemia with hyperglycaemia (full blown T2DM),…

Risk of exposure to babies being fed by mothers vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 experimental vaccine-mRNA
There can be no assurances of safety, with so many unknowns
Why spike protein containing or mRNA transcription to self-produce the spike protein (S-protein) is likely to increase blood clotting and inflammation, especially in at-risk individuals:
The SARS-CoV2 (SARS2) spike protein is biologically active.
ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
The injected S protein (or program via mRNA to induce self-production of the S protein) alone damages vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro and in vivo, manifested by impaired mitochondrial function, decreased ACE2 expression and eNOS activity, and increased glycolysis.

The world’s most powerful tools against respiratory infections is good health, individual health and population health. Both metabolic and mental.

Retrospective analysis:
COVID-19 patients,
n = 91 (aged 74 +/- 13),
2 or more co-morbidities = 54.9%
Given/or not, 400,000 IU vitD
Outcome: transfer to ICU and/or death
The greater the comorbidity burden, the greater effect high-dose vitD treatment mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/1…
39.6% were treated with vitamin D, based on physician decision.
Results showed significant predictive power of four variables, to response to high-dose vitD:
<50 nmol/L, 25(OH)D
current cigarette smoking
elevated D-dimer
presence of comorbid diseases

Viruses always evolve to be more contagious if they can, while at the same time they evolve to being less virulent/pathogenic, especially respiratory viruses.
In their evolution, each virus strives to grab “market share” for its progeny. The best way to achieve this is to get host cells in the human body to generate as many copies of itself as possible, while at the same time not make that person so ill that they meet fewer people,
