I heard this at the beginning of the Plandemic. I smoke and they're not saying smoking cigarettes are good; lots of carcinogens in them. But straight Nicotine... Yes. Just like mint/menthol is good and that's why I have to drive to an Indian Casino to get them since CA outlawed all menthol.... For The Kids ya know. Right.
So Nicotine is good and smoking packaged cigarettes is still bad. But, I can say I never got the coof once!
I quit smoking for years, but right at the start of covid starting smoking again (broke up with my girlfriend, got fired etc.)
I haven't been even slightly sick since 2020 (with viruses at least.) Every winter everyone around me gets sick 2 or 3 times, everyone I know had "covid", me nothing. There were even news stories around the beginning smokers weren't getting covid, experts baffled.
I also take vitamin D. Anecdote of one.
They said it was a respiratory disease so of course smokers should have been affected.
They lied; people died.
I took ivermectin to a friend who was deathly sick and her husband died a few days earlier. I did take ivermectin then. But that's it and haven't been to the doctor or dentist in 4 years. Took myself off meds, learned more homeopathic ways, try to eat better, and pray a lot more. Seems to have been working.
Can you tell what books or websites started you on your homeopathic journey? I want to eliminate the meds I'm on and get healthy naturally but not sure where to even start.
Well, I was basically on the meds for blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, etc. you know the meds EVERYONE gets put on for life? Then I started listening to Dr. Barbara O'Neill, Dr. Livingood and others on YT. Something clicked in me. When I was a kid everyone ate a grapefruit for breakfast. I mean everyone. We even had special spoons with a serrated edge to scoop out the meat. I realized that many meds prohibited eating grapefruit. Hmmmmm. Also, quercetin can be made by boiling grapefruit and lemon rinds.... So, I cut back on packaged foods and started making my own meals and breads. I was born in the '60's and when I was a teenager junk food skyrocketed and we ate chips, dip, cookies, etc. and I've always had a weight problem. But at least now I'm not on meds and eating better.
I also stopped using toothpaste and brush once with baking soda and then coconut oil and my teeth stay pretty white! In the past I always got all my cleanings and they'd always find some more work I needed.
F them. Just like veterinarians. They wanted me to do poop tests on my 18 year old cat! Anything to guilt you to spend more money.
I'm far from being homeopathic (smoker π€ͺ)
It's a process.
Thank you for this! Yes same, I am on blood thinners and have been told I can't use hardly any supplements but I heard NAC does that job and of course no doctor will take me off and let me try natural things bevause big pharma ...so I'm on my own. Thanks again for the goid start with names! Merry Christmas.
I certainly can't recommend stopping meds cold turkey like I did, but the fact that Drs. don't teach you how to get off them is criminal. My nieces and nephews in early 40's are on BP meds for years!
God bless you on your journey and Merry Christmas too!
I have begun stopping individual prescriptions as they run out. I won't get those renewed. And I will tell my regular doctor about it and why I'm doing it. I'm in my 70s, and my health is getting better all the time.
BTW, immunotherapy (monoclonal antibodies) cured my cancer this year. My insurance paid all but $10 for each treatment, even though the oncologist was billing $27,000 for each treatment. So that medicine works wonders.
Also eating nightshades pales in comparison to smoking, vaping or using patches:
Tobacco: Nicotine is a stimulant and potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants, primarily in tobacco. Nicotine content in tobacco can vary, but it is typically around 2 milligrams per cigarette.
Eggplants: Eggplants, also known as aubergines, contain a small amount of nicotine. The concentration of nicotine in eggplants is about 100 nanograms per gram, or 0.01 milligrams per 100 grams. To put this into perspective, you would need to eat around 20,000 grams of eggplant (approximately 20 eggplants) to consume the same amount of nicotine as one cigarette
Lastly, his comment about nicotine not being addictive is total bull kek. I vape and I can say 100% if I go too long without hitting it I start to feel unpleasant.
I distrust this guy due to his closeness with Stew Peters and his snake venom in the water crap. I still think nicotine is beneficial though.
I'm not sure. I use Juul. iirc they only add a glycerin to make the stuff vape'able, and some flavor. I should probably check into it but honestly just grateful to be off the cigs
I get the 21 mg patches and cut them into 3 pieces, so 7 mg ea. That's what Dr. Ardis recommends. Some times I just cut them in half....they're easier to keep stuck to your skin. The smaller 1/3 patches tend to fall off.
The package says don't cut. I think they are just greedy or are covering their ass. The cut patches stick fine. If it's a round patch, cut it like slices of pizza.
If you cut it into strips then you have to do a bunch of calculus to figure out the dose.
Yes, looks like smokers didn't get covid as much or dealt with it easily, and yes, there are studies as to why that might be, and yes, nicotine patches presumably work.
And then there is this study about niacin, in the form of nicotinic acid, concerning its potential inflammatory effect and potential use for treating or preventing heart disease: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3805984/
Which of course makes me wonder if it would be beneficial also when trying to prevent or treat something like covid or influenza. At least you can still buy B3 as nicotinic acid pills, even if it is a bit harder to find sometimes than B3 as nicotinamide.
Venom-Derived Neurotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptorshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8199771/
Lends some credence to Ardis's claim everyone with "covid" was actually suffering from venom toxicity and why smokers don't have a problem. And also why the campaign to quit smoking was pushed hard around covid, and the calls to reduce\ban nicotine products (those evil bastages.) We've all seen the stories about covid patients having venom like peptides showing up in the blood.
I'm 49, been smoking since I was 15. I've had the flu once in my life at 31. I rarely, rarely get a cold and when I do, it's mainly sinus issues for a few days and I'm over it.
I also saw this about nicotine at the start of the scamdemic and I'm convinced it prevented me from getting it
Maybe because us smokers have a better immune system by poisoning ourselves every day? Idk. But I've smoked for 50 years and didn't get the coof. But, I also haven't gone to doctors offices, hospitals or dentists offices in 4+ years.
When I was a little girl (maybe around 6 years old) my great uncle John (who was a several pack a day smoker) took out a white handkerchief. He took a deep drag off his cigarette and then held the handkerchief up to his mouth and blew through the fabric.
I recall being horrified as this pristine white handkerchief developed a brown spot where he'd blown the smoke through it. He said, "I want you to remember this and never smoke when you grow up. It's too late for me. But think what this does to my lungs."
My great uncle eventually died of emphysema.
I don't care what this fellow says about the so called "benefits of nicotine". It causes emphysema and lung cancer.
Wrong. Smoking tobacco causes it. Nicotine itself is not a carcinogen. A nicotine patch will not give you emphysema. There's nicotine in tomatoes, potatos and many other foods
All I know is that the 'Nicotine Patch' is what caused me to STOP SMOKING. It was a Godsend because I had tried everything else. I have been smoke free for 8 years now.
Good for you. I don't do nicotine anymore, however I allow my husband to smoke around me at times. If the smoke gets bad, I leave the room. He knows when I tell him that it's getting to me he will put it out. I wish he would stop smoking.
In small doses, nicotine speeds up cell growth. In larger doses, itβs poisonous to cells.
How much is a "small dose"? Are we talking, levels which don't rise to "nicotine poisoning" levels? That would be a big fat "duh"!
Nicotine kick-starts a process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is one of the important steps in the path toward malignant cell growth.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process in which epithelial cells acquire the characteristics of mesenchymal cells, including increased motility, invasiveness, and resistance to apoptosis. This process is essential for various physiological events, such as embryonic development, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. However, EMT is also implicated in pathological conditions, including cancer progression and metastasis. -AI
So it sounds like this EMT process could be considered a "neutral" process. It all depends on what else is going on before it begins.
Nicotine decreases the tumor suppressor CHK2. This may allow nicotine to overcome one of the bodyβs natural defenses against cancer.
Potentially the most damning finding, however...AI sure is handy:
"ChK2 (Checkpoint Kinase 2) is a protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to DNA damage and the regulation of the cell cycle. There is some research indicating that nicotine may influence various signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms, but the specific interaction between nicotine and CHK2 is not extensively studied.
While nicotine itself is known to have numerous effects on cellular processes and can influence cancer biology and apoptosis, the direct inhibition of CHK2 by nicotine is not well-characterized in the literature. Some studies have suggested that nicotine can have a variety of effects on cell signaling, proliferation, and survival which may indirectly affect CHK2 activity or the DNA damage response."
So this article is another case of "selectively picking a study" to base claims on.
Nicotine can abnormally speed up the growth of new cells. This has been shown in tumor cells in the breast, colon, and lung.
Can or does? Again with the subjective language. Is this related to the aforementioned EMT process?
Nicotine can lower the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
not even relevent to the topic at hand as their Big Pharma "cancer treatments" are bullshit.
I find this article to be very weak. It seems like they're just trying whatever they can to make war on nicotine. I'd want something more concrete.
Finally, let's see what their sources are: Oh yeah a bunch of tobacco stuff
This is an abuse of language. Studies since around 2005 started calling cigarettes "nicotine". 2005 was when vapes (nicotine, glycol, and flavoring only) started to get big and all of the machinery had to start addressing the work around to their laws oj smoking.
The tobacco companies themselves admitted it did cause cancer, but only when long jail sentences were staring them in the face.
In the UK about 30 years ago a tobacco company marketed a nicotine chewing gum targeted at children called Skoal Bandits. This gave Scots children mouth, tongue and throat cancers as well as lung cancers. It was banned after a huge outcry but only after the government had stonewalled any attempts to stop it.
Caffeine is in Coca-cola which leaves a nasty stain. But caffeine is also found in green tea. Even though both have caffeine, green tea and coca-cola have very different effects on the body.
He's advising against cigarettes, but saying that nicotine in other forms has benefits.
But, but, but,..............isn't nicotine addictive? It should be outlawed like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. The only place it should be used is within the barns for animals. Now, isn't that the line the FDA and CDC would use to paint nicotine into a bad medicine? I'm sure there are other common drugs that would cure cancer and flu symptoms, but that information is closely held by the drug companies. With cure goes the money printing machine.
I smoked for years (Covid ended up being the final reason I quit) and have tried multiple ways to quit. I started to develop a theory that nicotine wasn't the reason I kept coming back. Rather, it was the chemicals that tobacco companies added to the cigarettes that made me a lunatic when I cut myself off from them. That and the physical action of smoking were the 2 top reasons, not nicotine.
I only smoke organic rolling and couldn't smoke for a week and didn't miss it. When I smoke at home it's kind of a pattern or ritual. Not because I get the shakes from a lack of nicotine.
But notice in the video, he said all of the chemicals that the tobacco companies added to the cigarette. That's what is killing people. Not the nicotine.
No, you would want to look at people who vape or use nicotine gum / patches for a controlled study. Smoking cigs has many more harms that will overshadow your nicotine
Every plague our massive family has received this year has blown past me. I maybe get a sniffle for an hour, and then it's gone. I smoke...so...I don't know. But way back in 2020 when the covid was all anyone talked about, an ENT doc friend of mine was telling me his own theory about how smokers would probably come out better than the rest if they did get covid. Among us, I did come out better.
I can attest to this from personal experience. I'm a smoker & since 2019, I have never gotten COVID (or "flu-like symptoms" either). Not endorsing smoking at all - only that the benefits of nicotine in the prevention of COVID are very real. There's been scientific studies on it proving the case, dating back to even early 2020.
April 2020 - A French study asserts that "Smokers seem less likely to catch the virus, but we don't know why." An excerpt says: "The authors cite further observation in Paris showed that around 8.5% of a total number of 11,000 COVID-19 patients were smokers (around 25.4% of all people in France as estimated to be smokers)." Another excerpt says: "The effect (of nicotine usage) is significant. It divides the risk by five for ambulatory patients and by four for those admitted to hospital. We rarely see this in medicine,β the paper adds.
This article also cites a Chinese study from March 2020:
"A study on Chinese patients published in March that suggested only 12.6% of 1,000 people infected with the virus were smokers (the percentage of smokers in China is around 28%)."
In my circle of friends, the ONLY people I know who have NEVER gotten "COVID" are all smokers. Everyone I know who's a NON-smoker HAS gotten "COVID", and some of them have been sick with "COVID" (or some type of flu) many times in recent years, including un-vaxxed non-smokers.
A couple of my friends (who had been previously diagnosed with "COVID" a couple years ago) started wearing nicotine patches daily and (thankfully) they've never gotten sick from flu-related viruses since then.
It's been decades since I studied chemistry, but that claims that nicotinic acid, or one form of niacin, vitamin B3, would basically be gotten from nicotine by an oxidation reaction. Seems slightly more complicated than that, but if there are any chemists here, what do you think?
Nicotinic acid is that form of B3 that used to be used before we got statins for reducing LDL cholesterol. Most B3 for sale as pills, and in everything that says it has been fortified with vitamins, is nicotinamide, a slightly different form of B3 that has no effect on cholesterol levels because nicotinic acid can produce an unpleasant flushing effect in larger amounts as it causes vasodilation of small blood vessels in skin. Nicotinic acid can lower LDL and triglycerides and raise HDL.
Nicotinamide is good enough for treating and preventing pellagra.
I agree about the documented effects against covid, but if the rest of those claims was true, smokers wouldn't ever have parkinsons, MS and other such diseases.
My grandpa smoked for 30 years, had a heart attack and consequently quit smoking. 10 years later he died of lung cancer. I always felt that he may as well have not quit! Lol
I like to smoke organic rolling tobacco. Not saying it's good for you. I recently had to visit my parents for a week. I knew it would make them sad to see me smoke so I knew I couldn't. Didn't miss it one bit. Never got the urge. I realized the addiction to cigarettes is the habit and the ritual, not the nicotine.
Here's a funny little rabbit hole for your Sunday entertainment, ladies and gentlemen : Edward Bernays, father of modern propaganda and advertising, his part in the war cigarette manufacturers waged against cigars in the early 20th century, and the work that he did after that.
LOL; the truth will out. As I understand it nicotine attaches itself to the same cellular receptors as Covid-19 (virus). In fact, nicotine, not only blocks the receptors but will remove the virus from a receptor and attach itself. Therefore,
a nicotine patch is much, much better than a Clot Shot and one hell of a lot safer. In addition, it appears the FDA lied to us for 40 years as they knew Nicotine was not additive (Addictive elements were the chemical additives to tobacco products). Ivermectin and Fenbendazole actually attack the virus and kill it where Nicotine blocks the virus.
In junior high, almost 55 years ago, I would almost get beaten up because I would tell the "cool" kids how stupid smoking was :) The very idea of PURPOSELY BREATHING IN SMOKE should be enough to let anyone know how stupid and unhealthy it is, without even considering carcinogen content. One thing I've noticed in the past decades is that almost nobody over the age of 18 starts smoking, because by that age, they have some common sense and some resistance to peer pressure.
I recall that viruses attach to Ace2 receptors to infect the host. Apparently nicotine (and other things like weed) attach to those same receptors so that viruses can't.
I heard this at the beginning of the Plandemic. I smoke and they're not saying smoking cigarettes are good; lots of carcinogens in them. But straight Nicotine... Yes. Just like mint/menthol is good and that's why I have to drive to an Indian Casino to get them since CA outlawed all menthol.... For The Kids ya know. Right.
So Nicotine is good and smoking packaged cigarettes is still bad. But, I can say I never got the coof once!
I quit smoking for years, but right at the start of covid starting smoking again (broke up with my girlfriend, got fired etc.) I haven't been even slightly sick since 2020 (with viruses at least.) Every winter everyone around me gets sick 2 or 3 times, everyone I know had "covid", me nothing. There were even news stories around the beginning smokers weren't getting covid, experts baffled. I also take vitamin D. Anecdote of one.
They said it was a respiratory disease so of course smokers should have been affected.
They lied; people died.
I took ivermectin to a friend who was deathly sick and her husband died a few days earlier. I did take ivermectin then. But that's it and haven't been to the doctor or dentist in 4 years. Took myself off meds, learned more homeopathic ways, try to eat better, and pray a lot more. Seems to have been working.
While you are researching nicotine, I suggest you look at methylene blue as well. You might be surprised.
"The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue" by Mark Sloan.
"Methylene Blue Guide" by Audrey Brandy.
Can you tell what books or websites started you on your homeopathic journey? I want to eliminate the meds I'm on and get healthy naturally but not sure where to even start.
Well, I was basically on the meds for blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, etc. you know the meds EVERYONE gets put on for life? Then I started listening to Dr. Barbara O'Neill, Dr. Livingood and others on YT. Something clicked in me. When I was a kid everyone ate a grapefruit for breakfast. I mean everyone. We even had special spoons with a serrated edge to scoop out the meat. I realized that many meds prohibited eating grapefruit. Hmmmmm. Also, quercetin can be made by boiling grapefruit and lemon rinds.... So, I cut back on packaged foods and started making my own meals and breads. I was born in the '60's and when I was a teenager junk food skyrocketed and we ate chips, dip, cookies, etc. and I've always had a weight problem. But at least now I'm not on meds and eating better.
I also stopped using toothpaste and brush once with baking soda and then coconut oil and my teeth stay pretty white! In the past I always got all my cleanings and they'd always find some more work I needed. F them. Just like veterinarians. They wanted me to do poop tests on my 18 year old cat! Anything to guilt you to spend more money.
I'm far from being homeopathic (smoker π€ͺ) It's a process.
Thank you for this! Yes same, I am on blood thinners and have been told I can't use hardly any supplements but I heard NAC does that job and of course no doctor will take me off and let me try natural things bevause big pharma ...so I'm on my own. Thanks again for the goid start with names! Merry Christmas.
I certainly can't recommend stopping meds cold turkey like I did, but the fact that Drs. don't teach you how to get off them is criminal. My nieces and nephews in early 40's are on BP meds for years! God bless you on your journey and Merry Christmas too!
I have begun stopping individual prescriptions as they run out. I won't get those renewed. And I will tell my regular doctor about it and why I'm doing it. I'm in my 70s, and my health is getting better all the time.
BTW, immunotherapy (monoclonal antibodies) cured my cancer this year. My insurance paid all but $10 for each treatment, even though the oncologist was billing $27,000 for each treatment. So that medicine works wonders.
Start smoking!
I have that down lol
I smoke menthol too. At the beginning of plandemic there were all sorts of CDC people saying 'If you smoke, now is the time to quit.'
Plenty of people were treating and preventing illness with patches and gums.
It's fd up trying to quit and you get info it's beneficial in some way...
"Nah ...you don't understand, it's literally saving my life right now" πππππ
Brothers be outing themselves with the menthol an sheit...π
Any sauce for this story that a Wisconsin doctor put nicotine patches on patients in a hospital in 2021?
I didn't know about doctors telling arthritis patients to avoid nightshade vegetables. Found this https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/anti-inflammatory/how-nightshades-affect-arthritis
Also eating nightshades pales in comparison to smoking, vaping or using patches:

I distrust this guy due to his closeness with Stew Peters and his snake venom in the water crap. I still think nicotine is beneficial though.
What are all ingredients in your vape fluid? Perhaps they are adding some pyrizines.
I'm not sure. I use Juul. iirc they only add a glycerin to make the stuff vape'able, and some flavor. I should probably check into it but honestly just grateful to be off the cigs
Avoid all flavor chemicals! You have no idea what they are. But nicotine plus glycerin vapor is perfectly safe to breathe.
I use the "Virginia Tobacco" version. I think they just take actual tobacco and extract the nicotine and a residual flavor remains, but could be wrong
I'm an ex-smoker and have done the (cut x 3) nicotine patches and have had NO cravings or nicotine fits whatsoever.
Did you succeed in stopping the patches also?
I'm not 'addicted' to the patches AT ALL....in fact I regularly 'forget'. NO cravings to 'remind' me!!
Tell me more about cutting patches... I don't know this trick
I think you cut each standard patch and use one third for covid treatment/prevention.
I get the 21 mg patches and cut them into 3 pieces, so 7 mg ea. That's what Dr. Ardis recommends. Some times I just cut them in half....they're easier to keep stuck to your skin. The smaller 1/3 patches tend to fall off.
The package says don't cut. I think they are just greedy or are covering their ass. The cut patches stick fine. If it's a round patch, cut it like slices of pizza.
If you cut it into strips then you have to do a bunch of calculus to figure out the dose.
Ah okay thanks.
I agree with you about the credibility of the source after that sensationalistic broadcast with Peters.
With that said, I am filing this info about nicotine away for future reference.
Controlled opposition/ limited hangout.
Okay, there is at least one study in PubMed central. Looks like nicotine can prevent the cytokine storm.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836994/
And see, an article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7192087/
Yes, looks like smokers didn't get covid as much or dealt with it easily, and yes, there are studies as to why that might be, and yes, nicotine patches presumably work.

Which of course makes me wonder if it would be beneficial also when trying to prevent or treat something like covid or influenza. At least you can still buy B3 as nicotinic acid pills, even if it is a bit harder to find sometimes than B3 as nicotinamide.

We've all seen the stories about covid patients having venom like peptides showing up in the blood.
ZYNβChuck Schumer outlawed it recently. Itβs nicotine.
I think Tucker peddles that stuff....
He says, "Nicotine is wonderful"
I'm 49, been smoking since I was 15. I've had the flu once in my life at 31. I rarely, rarely get a cold and when I do, it's mainly sinus issues for a few days and I'm over it.

Praise God β€οΈπ Did the patches cause any cravings when you stopped those / have you tried stopping those ?
No. The patches didn't cause any cravings that I know of.
You might want to do some further reading on the subject.
https://www.healthline.com/health/does-nicotine-cause-cancer#nicotine-and-cancer
Let's go through this:
How much is a "small dose"? Are we talking, levels which don't rise to "nicotine poisoning" levels? That would be a big fat "duh"!
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process in which epithelial cells acquire the characteristics of mesenchymal cells, including increased motility, invasiveness, and resistance to apoptosis.

The article also says:
So, it's probably not the nicotine causing the cancer. And are these 70 cancer-causing chemicals coming from the additives they are using?
This is an abuse of language. Studies since around 2005 started calling cigarettes "nicotine". 2005 was when vapes (nicotine, glycol, and flavoring only) started to get big and all of the machinery had to start addressing the work around to their laws oj smoking.
How can you smoke nicotine? You can't.
The tobacco companies themselves admitted it did cause cancer, but only when long jail sentences were staring them in the face.
In the UK about 30 years ago a tobacco company marketed a nicotine chewing gum targeted at children called Skoal Bandits. This gave Scots children mouth, tongue and throat cancers as well as lung cancers. It was banned after a huge outcry but only after the government had stonewalled any attempts to stop it.
There were no prosecutions
Smoking tobacco does, not nicotine.
Caffeine is in Coca-cola which leaves a nasty stain. But caffeine is also found in green tea. Even though both have caffeine, green tea and coca-cola have very different effects on the body.
He's advising against cigarettes, but saying that nicotine in other forms has benefits.
The smoke, fren.
I am with you but a lot of people really want to believe nicotine is good
Maybe if we make an extract as a tincture we could get the benefits without the harm
But vaping, smokimg, etc, all horrible
Nothing save Jesus telling me Himself to drink, smoke, use a drug, etc could change my straight edge ways
Dr Ardis has said that you can steep tobacco in a bucket and soak your feet in it to get the nicotine.
But, but, but,..............isn't nicotine addictive? It should be outlawed like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. The only place it should be used is within the barns for animals. Now, isn't that the line the FDA and CDC would use to paint nicotine into a bad medicine? I'm sure there are other common drugs that would cure cancer and flu symptoms, but that information is closely held by the drug companies. With cure goes the money printing machine.
Yes it's addictive because it triggers dopamine release. However a cut off segment of a patch will probably not become addictive
*not medical advice
I smoked for years (Covid ended up being the final reason I quit) and have tried multiple ways to quit. I started to develop a theory that nicotine wasn't the reason I kept coming back. Rather, it was the chemicals that tobacco companies added to the cigarettes that made me a lunatic when I cut myself off from them. That and the physical action of smoking were the 2 top reasons, not nicotine.
I only smoke organic rolling and couldn't smoke for a week and didn't miss it. When I smoke at home it's kind of a pattern or ritual. Not because I get the shakes from a lack of nicotine.
It's highly addictive just like the opioids which they overprescribe, anyway! And those are a lot more deadly.
In comparison to what our totally broken medical system already allows, this is cotton candy in comparison.
We are leaving behind the matrix of Rockefeller Medicine.
Bring on KENNEDY MEDICINE.
i hope he can fix the insurance BS while he's at it. what the insurance companies are doing is criminal.
Nicotine is also anti-parasitic, isn't it?
Farmers used to give livestock Bull Durham to worm them.
It reminds me of how some Amazon tribes will use tobacco snuff because they believe it has medicinal properties.

That would imply pack-a-day smokers should be healthy specimens of society. I'm a little skeptical.
But notice in the video, he said all of the chemicals that the tobacco companies added to the cigarette. That's what is killing people. Not the nicotine.
Trueβ¦example. Treating tobacco with white sugar prior to aging. Makes it more addictive. Also heat causes many chemical changes above 450 degrees.
No, you would want to look at people who vape or use nicotine gum / patches for a controlled study. Smoking cigs has many more harms that will overshadow your nicotine
Cigarettes have tons of additives. It's like saying orange mocha frappuccinos are healthy since coffee is healthy.
However I don't recommend taking up a smoking habit.
Every plague our massive family has received this year has blown past me. I maybe get a sniffle for an hour, and then it's gone. I smoke...so...I don't know. But way back in 2020 when the covid was all anyone talked about, an ENT doc friend of mine was telling me his own theory about how smokers would probably come out better than the rest if they did get covid. Among us, I did come out better.
I can attest to this from personal experience. I'm a smoker & since 2019, I have never gotten COVID (or "flu-like symptoms" either). Not endorsing smoking at all - only that the benefits of nicotine in the prevention of COVID are very real. There's been scientific studies on it proving the case, dating back to even early 2020.
A study posted 4/30/2020 on WebMD.com reported that "smokers are less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than non-smokers" (see wording of the URL link), but the content has been totally over-written with other b.s. since then: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/smokers-hospitalized-less-often-for-covid-19
April 2020 - A French study asserts that "Smokers seem less likely to catch the virus, but we don't know why." An excerpt says: "The authors cite further observation in Paris showed that around 8.5% of a total number of 11,000 COVID-19 patients were smokers (around 25.4% of all people in France as estimated to be smokers)." Another excerpt says: "The effect (of nicotine usage) is significant. It divides the risk by five for ambulatory patients and by four for those admitted to hospital. We rarely see this in medicine,β the paper adds.
Here's the article: https://www.zmescience.com/science/french-study-nicotine-patch-covid-913513/
This article also cites a Chinese study from March 2020: "A study on Chinese patients published in March that suggested only 12.6% of 1,000 people infected with the virus were smokers (the percentage of smokers in China is around 28%)."
Another article about the French study published on 4/24/2020: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/new-study-to-test-if-nicotine-patch-could-keep-covid-19-at-bay/articleshow/75346826.cms
5/21/2020 Peer-reviewed study showing that "nicotine offers potential protection against COVID-19": https://www.news24.com/News24/opinion-first-peer-reviewed-study-to-show-nicotine-offers-potential-protection-against-covid-19-20200521
In my circle of friends, the ONLY people I know who have NEVER gotten "COVID" are all smokers. Everyone I know who's a NON-smoker HAS gotten "COVID", and some of them have been sick with "COVID" (or some type of flu) many times in recent years, including un-vaxxed non-smokers.
A couple of my friends (who had been previously diagnosed with "COVID" a couple years ago) started wearing nicotine patches daily and (thankfully) they've never gotten sick from flu-related viruses since then.
"Joy's Daughter" posted on GAW a few months back that nicotine has also been found to destroy nanobots in the vaxxes: https://greatawakening.win/p/17txtQxoU0/------a-new-study-by-microscop/c/

Here's that article at the point it was first archived. Idk what's different, haven't looked, but unless they also modified the wayback version this should be the original: https://web.archive.org/web/20200503170954/https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/smokers-hospitalized-less-often-for-covid-19
Awesome - thank you! This is what the article is supposed to look like.
yw!π
Anyone, how can nicotine destroy or incapacitate an actual nanobot which is a non-biological structure?
Hm.
https://www.sott.net/article/270514-Nicotine-vs-nicotinic-acid-niacin
It's been decades since I studied chemistry, but that claims that nicotinic acid, or one form of niacin, vitamin B3, would basically be gotten from nicotine by an oxidation reaction. Seems slightly more complicated than that, but if there are any chemists here, what do you think?
Nicotinic acid is that form of B3 that used to be used before we got statins for reducing LDL cholesterol. Most B3 for sale as pills, and in everything that says it has been fortified with vitamins, is nicotinamide, a slightly different form of B3 that has no effect on cholesterol levels because nicotinic acid can produce an unpleasant flushing effect in larger amounts as it causes vasodilation of small blood vessels in skin. Nicotinic acid can lower LDL and triglycerides and raise HDL.
Nicotinamide is good enough for treating and preventing pellagra.
This guy is a chiropractor. Heβs the same guy that said the vaccines were snake venom.
Tucker Carlson is selling nicotine pouches. The commercial can be seen in almost any of his videos. His commercials are funny too.
I agree about the documented effects against covid, but if the rest of those claims was true, smokers wouldn't ever have parkinsons, MS and other such diseases.
Cool.
My mother was just diagnosed with emphysema and COPD.
She quit smoking a decade ago.
Effects linger.
My grandpa smoked for 30 years, had a heart attack and consequently quit smoking. 10 years later he died of lung cancer. I always felt that he may as well have not quit! Lol
So how do i get it and dose it without tobacco and without addiction?
Nicotine patch?
I like to smoke organic rolling tobacco. Not saying it's good for you. I recently had to visit my parents for a week. I knew it would make them sad to see me smoke so I knew I couldn't. Didn't miss it one bit. Never got the urge. I realized the addiction to cigarettes is the habit and the ritual, not the nicotine.

Here's a funny little rabbit hole for your Sunday entertainment, ladies and gentlemen : Edward Bernays, father of modern propaganda and advertising, his part in the war cigarette manufacturers waged against cigars in the early 20th century, and the work that he did after that.
Happy digging.
Finally, Iβve been vindicated. A pinch a day keeps the doctor away.
LOL; the truth will out. As I understand it nicotine attaches itself to the same cellular receptors as Covid-19 (virus). In fact, nicotine, not only blocks the receptors but will remove the virus from a receptor and attach itself. Therefore, a nicotine patch is much, much better than a Clot Shot and one hell of a lot safer. In addition, it appears the FDA lied to us for 40 years as they knew Nicotine was not additive (Addictive elements were the chemical additives to tobacco products). Ivermectin and Fenbendazole actually attack the virus and kill it where Nicotine blocks the virus.
Melatonin too.
I'm preeeeety sure there are people with aids who smoke.... and still have aids.
AND nanotech!! https://x.com/iontecs_pemf/status/1865846560451649903
In junior high, almost 55 years ago, I would almost get beaten up because I would tell the "cool" kids how stupid smoking was :) The very idea of PURPOSELY BREATHING IN SMOKE should be enough to let anyone know how stupid and unhealthy it is, without even considering carcinogen content. One thing I've noticed in the past decades is that almost nobody over the age of 18 starts smoking, because by that age, they have some common sense and some resistance to peer pressure.
OP what's your opinion on SNUS?
https://snusme.com/loop-nicotine-pouches.html
I recall that viruses attach to Ace2 receptors to infect the host. Apparently nicotine (and other things like weed) attach to those same receptors so that viruses can't.
This sounds like cigarette propaganda.
He doesn't promote cigarettes, in fact he says they are highly addictive. He advocates for nicotine without cigarettes.
