President Trump is again being wildly criticized for what the media said that “Trump dangerously suggest injecting disinfectant as treatment,” according to CNN.
When the tape was replayed, it was very far from what CNN accused President Trump of saying. It was a lie what Trump allegedly said.
President Trump made it clear that he is not a doctor; he did not suggest what the FDA Chief said that “Do not inject disinfectant.” But who told the FDA Chief that President Trump said so? He only asked if there is any disinfectant that could be injected to victims of Coronavirus. He kept emphasizing that he is NOT a doctor, but simply toyed with the idea of a disinfectant to combat the Coronavirus/Covid 19. He did not say “inject disinfectant…” He was simply asking a question if there is a disinfectant that could be injected to victims of Coronavirus/Covid 19.
When the tape was replayed, as far as the listeners are concerned worldwide, the TV host lied in his report. What was reported was very far from what the President simply insinuated if there is such as disinfectant that could kill the virus for indeed the Coronavirus/Covid 19 is easily killed by a disinfectant.
What’s wrong with what he asked those who are supposed to be in the know such as medical experts who may have a suggestion or opinion if there exists a disinfectant that could be given to Coronavirus/Covid 19 patients.
It might have sounded silly to President Trump’s political opponents who know much less that Trump who at least could toy with the idea of any possibility. It was clear to a right thinking person that President Trump did not suggest the disinfectant we use to disinfect the kitchen and toilets. Far from it.
Listening to the false “controversy” on the vaccinating of a disinfectant to kill the Coronavirus, I thought of a perfectly safe disinfectant that can be taken orally – and maybe considered.
According to “Organic facts,” Baking Soda and Lemon by John Staughton (BASc, BFA): “The combination of baking soda and lemon juice has a number of health benefits, including the ability to detoxify the body, balance pH levels, improve digestion, boost the immune system and heart health, protect the skin, heal the liver and help prevent chronic disease. There are countless health remedies that have gained popularity in recent years, but the use of baking soda and lemon dates back decades in natural health circles. On their own, these two substances have plenty of health effects, but when combined, they can have an even more impressive impact on your overall health…”
Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate and is widely used in baking, likewise in softdrinks such as Pepsi, Coca Cola and other softdrinks.
“There are about 23 benefits and uses of baking soda: 1. Treat Heartburn. Heartburn is also known as acid reflux… Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of cold water and drink the mixture slowly. 2. Mouthwash is a great addition to a good oral hygiene routine… It can help freshen your breath and provides antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. 3. Canker Sores (or singaw) are small, shallow wounds in your mouth that can make eating and talking uncomfortable. 4. May also the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease… May improve Certain Cancer treatments. 4. Clean fruits and veggies…”
“Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate), commonly known as baking soda (mainly North America) or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na+) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO3−). Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs.”
In some countries, hot lemon juice is taken with baking soda or sodium bicarbonate in a cup of hot water to combat the Coronavirus/Covid 19. According to a lady professor in a University in Australia, a diplomate in Chemistry, the lemon baking soda drink is widely taken by the people of Israel. We must admit that Israel has one of the best scientists in the world who are quietly working on the vaccine against Coronavirus/Covid 19.
Now that a lie has been floated around that President Trump allegedly said if there is a disinfectant that could be vaccinated against the Coronavirus/Covid 19 maybe the scientists and chemists should consider a vaccine based on baking soda or sodium bicarbonate formula which is very safe but potent in killing viruses and as a disinfectant. Just maybe!
President Trump was right after all. He was only asking IF there is a “disinfectant” that could be injected. For sure, there are chemists and scientists whose curiosity President Trump must have aroused. After all, it’s a “disinfectant” that kills the Coronavirus/Covid 19.
On my part I am not anything. I am not a doctor, but my over a decade dealing with sick patients who asked for help from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, a government agency focused on helping the poor and the needy, I did learn a thing or two about diseases and illnesses. Thirteen years in total I spent in the PCSO taught me a lot on how to take care of patients.
