RICHARD HENRY
I am a third generation South African, of mixed European settler descent (Scotland, Ireland, Norway and Germany). Although I loved Africa, I hated racism and apartheid. Canada welcomed South African doctors and I enjoyed the challenge of living in rural and remote Canada for 5 years before training in Anesthesiology in Kingston. Time flies, and I have worked in Anesthesiology for 30 years in Kingston, Ontario with special interests in pediatric anesthesia, chronic pain and teaching.
Please enjoy these three videos below outlining Richard's story, his plans for the Beverley Street protocol, and what the first podcast series is all about.
Beverley Street: COVID-19, Why the detour?
COVID - Why the detour?
In January of 2020, having just returned from a brief solo trip Norway (visited a very special retired colleague) and Switzerland where I watched one of my Beverley Street Protocol hockey players in the Spengler Cup, I was nursing my freshly operated shoulder back to health and listening to the news about yet another new virus in China. I had often teased my youngest child about ‘bird flu” and that she needed to eat her food and grow up big and strong or else the bird flu would get her. I wondered if this was the one and if she would acknowledge my great forecasting ability.
Then one day in late January I read a paper detailing the peculiar ACE2-dependent entry mechanism used by this virus. It was interfering with one of the main systems in our bodies, one of the systems I was trying to understand and fit into my adaptive epigenetic patterns. The virus itself did not seem to be particularly nasty. It even quieted our immune response and many infected people hardly knew they were ill – especially young healthy people. But what were the specific biological characteristics of these healthy young people that differed from the highest risk humans –old, fat, men? It seemed to be related to how much ACE2 the patient had and how much they missed it when it was all destroyed during the infection.
If that was true, if we could identify who had more ACE2 and what the sudden deficit did, then maybe we could just prevent and treat the deficit and those old fat men would behave more like healthy young children when they became infected.
I still believe that simple premise is true today. I still believe there are many things we can do with currently available safe and cheap medications and supplements to reduce the death rate (mortality) to almost zero and let us all get on with our lives freely.
I invite you to come on a short journey of discovery with me, where I just lay out the science into an orderly and apolitical narrative, connecting all the dots and giving credence and coherence to the seemingly disparate ideas and treatments being touted by all sides of the scientific spectrum.
