🚨🚨🚨 I would like to request that you renounce #2 and IMMEDIATELY stop this spread of misinformation. Here are the receipts. I don't need to tote my credentials but this is medical nonsense.

I clicked and was met with the most clickbait-y site ever. The "treatment" is a 72 hour fast with supplements? WTF? It said a Doctor Recommended it? Turns out, the website is quoting Dr. Makis?? Who is this man? Clicking the link of his name leads to the worst personal website ever, with a bio of: "Canadian physician with expertise in Radiology, Oncology and Immunology. Governor General's Medal, University of Toronto Scholar. Author of 100+ peer-reviewed medical publications." 100 papers??? Wow? What's he done? I searched PubMed for his publications... they are all papers from his imaging as a radiologist. He literally does scans and writes about the images with really no broader conclusions or active involvement other than that. So this guy is overinflating nothing. Has he done papers about covid? Yes...but it is something is off, and the reason he is involved is very clear soon. Consider the following which is at the BOTTOM of the article: https://ibb.co/NS31x1k Note that all of a sudden they are selling a product to you.

Dr. Makis and the whole linked article based the "science" of this treatment, from a "paper" by a Dr. Mccullough linked here: https://www.jpands.org/vol28no3/mccullough.pdf

This is literally the stupidest thing I've ever read. It is two pages long. Is has some nice fun diagrams to look at to confuse normies but it is a big nothing burger. THIS is the second page linked here for convenience, read the discussion and conclusion: https://ibb.co/WyrcJdj

The conclusion basically says "Ha! Nothing!" And the entire paper NEVER mentions fasting at all. Why? They'd be laughed out of the medical journal.

At the very bottom of the second page, under disclosures, says Dr. Mccullough is salary compensated and owns equity in part of the company selling the "Spike Protein Support."

This is medical misinformation and chicanery designed to sell a product and every statement on that page has money behind it. Also I would like to drop the perfunctory message emphasizing the importance of proper research.

Edit: Can someone verified on Twitter message VigilantFox this?
