Proactive Body Temperature Management Protocol and Lifestyle Interventions as Predictable Cures for COVID-19 Disease: Curative Protocols Discovered from a Century of Medical Discoveries

Abstract

Based on a century of medical discoveries, we propose a methodology of using lifestyle interventions and proactive body temperature management protocol as prevention and cure for COVID-19 disease. We produce robust evidence to show that lifestyle interventions have a 100% “expected response rate”, with a curative power being one to three orders of magnitude larger than that of a single lifestyle factor determined by clinical trials and can deliver immediate benefits to long-term curative benefits. On basis of a large number of studies, we propose that the local blood flow along the inner surface of the respiratory track works like an anti-viral shield, which is capable of robustly prevent and terminate viral and other infections. Breathing cold temperature from 26 °C to a frigid temperature can dramatically reduce local temperatures along the track and thus cripples the protective shield by reducing local blood flow to as little as 3-10%. A proactive body temperature management protocol (PBTM or PRTPM), which comprises pre-exposure, during-exposure, and post-exposure measures, are capable of boosting innate immune functions, anti-viral defenses, and vital organ functions. We estimate that pre-exposure and during-exposure measures can reduce temperature drops along the tract by 5°C to 20 °C, and that a series of post-exposure measures can increase local blood flow rates along the track by 2 to 20 times. The proposed measures can completely restore the anti-viral shield. All kinds epidemiological data support our estimated curative power that the protocol can prevent 90% to 97% infection incidences and deaths. We show that the protocol is even more powerful than vaccine, and maintaining a reasonable local temperature along the respiratory track is a required condition for delivering and boosting vaccine’s protection.Current medical researches have excluded temperature and air as treatments in all on-going clinical trials. This misplaced priority is an inevitable result of the financial arrangement of all parties in medicine. Such financial arrangement provides too much incentive for medicalization, the key elements of which include finding revenue-making treatments, producing good data for promoting the treatments, and finding more patients for using treatments. Since lifestyle interventions and proactive body temperature management protocol cannot be studied by flawed research model and cannot be patented for monopoly, no entity has incentives to explore their extraordinary benefits. We also found that the reason of failure to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is same as failure to find cures for cancer and AIDS. Several studies imply that best solutions for cancer, AIDS and all chronic diseases are not revenue-generating medical treatments, but things that cannot sold for revenues and things that are born and carried in human genome. Based on a century of medical discoveries in disease causes, we propose for the federal government that the most cost-effective measures are finding and eliminating a large number of disease causes hidden in food production lines, family kitchens, cooking culture, personal cooking habits, home appliances, etc. This is the only way to root out causes for more than 90% chronic diseases incidences.

Immune Functional Capability Dynamics Determine Disease Outcomes as in Cancer, Heart Diseases, COVID-19, Etc.

“…At this point, medicine has no cure for the disease [220]. While vaccine benefits for mRNA vaccines was found to be more than 90%, most researches could not take into account the beneficial role of temperature which could cause 10 folds difference to incidence and death rates [121,118]. When the cold season strikes, temperature will be a superstrong aggravating factor.…”

“…In our prior study [118], we established that exposure to cold air can reduce local blood flow rate to only a tiny fraction (as little as 5%). This can instantly disable the mobility of all immune cells which are required to perform all vital functions such as cleaning virus-containing particles, removing dead infected cells, dead immune cells, and metabolic wastes, and repairing damages caused by infection.…”

“…That is why we found that tissue elasticity or yielding property is crucially important. The strongest evidence is temperature effect: when tissue is lowered to nearly 10 °C, immune function is crippled [118]. On average, dendrites measured 15-20 microns in length and 0.1-0.3 micron in diameter and occasional dendrites were extremely elongated, reached several hundred microns in length, and terminated in an enlargement measuring nearly a micron in diameter [206].…”

“…We have shown that garbage removal, tissue repair, and tissue remodeling are shared by great degree, and that liver, lungs, heart, and kidneys are shared global biological resources for fighting all diseases in each person. In many times, a single factor could determine disease outcome as shown in the following impact scales: (1) temperature could alter local blood flow rate by up to 20 times [118]; (2) exercise could change cancer survival rates of many types of cancer for various survival years by nearly 40% [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] ; (3) personal body position could change internal local blood pressure inside the brain by more than 50 mm Hg pressure (one meter water high is 73 mm Hg); (4) warming foot by a warm bath can raise blood flow rate by many times at reduced heart work (Implied by 118); (5) most drugs' current impacts could be more than 10-20 times of their lasting baseline impacts (referred from half lives); (6) food poisoning and subtle toxic impacts must be very large (based on severe symptoms); ( 7) a demand triggered by any factor could generate 20 to 80 mm Hg additional burden to the heart (rough estimate based on pulse pressure), and (8) a bad argument in a wrong environment and wrong time may be a game-end mistake (a common factor for triggering stroke). Sometimes, one single factor may have the power of checkmate in ruining personal health.…”

“…Their argument may be sound only for those persons who have massive surplus organ functions. 4. mRNA is very unstable and thus requires strict storage and transportation condition.…”
