Fowkes page 2 of 251 Note to Patreon Patrons I’m now clear that the Patreon interface is designed by engineers and will not be fixed in 2020. So if you read “per month” when I have specified “per chapter,” don’t worry. The way it will work is that you will be billed at the first of the month only if I release a version of the book the previous month. Since I am releasing new versions of the book with multiple new chapters each version, I have yet to release it twice in any given month. So you will be charged $1, $2 or $4 (plus tax as of July). If you want to financially support this project more than $4, please feel free to make a one-time donation to paypal.me/swfowkes. Non-financial support can be contributed by (1) sharing the book with friends and family by email attachment or cloud-account download link (I’d be happy to send you mine), (2) blogging about the book on your favorite social-media page, (3) asking people to become patrons at www.patreon.com/swfowkes, or (4) offering editing and organizational feedback directly to me. I have heard from one friend that Patreon trapped her in a project that she wanted out of. I see an un- patronize button that looks like opting out is an easy process. But if you opt out and have any difficulties, do not be worried; I can opt you out if the Patreon software fails. If this happens to you, send me a message through Patreon, or through email, and I’ll fix it. The first release had four chapters, and the second had seven, and the third a dozen, so the “practical” core of the book is now in place. Vitamins D, A and C, the minerals selenium and zinc, and hypothyroidism/hypometabolism are the pillars of natural anti-viral self defense. It was my wish with Patreon to publish information as fast as I can, with the sole limitation that the content be intrinsically readable, understandable and practical. So from that limited perspective, the book has been written. But I am now dealing with supplementary materials that are the foundation of the practical side. This includes presentation of lesser-known aspects of immune therapeutics, the appendices, adding new, updated content to old chapters, and fixing bad grammar. The “deliverable” each time is a PDF book with all completed chapters included. This means that you get a complete new book with all the information from the earlier books included. So, no assembly required. To help you see the new content, the new text color will be colored. In version five, it was purple. In this version it is blue. So you can scan for the new content fairly easily. In future updates, the oldest colored content will revert to black. Plus, I post a black-only version for printing, after posting the color version. The tier-$2 and tier-$4 patrons are getting a monthly Zoom session. We have already done four of these, and because of popular consent, the second and fourth were recorded and posted as a bonus item. I am happy to address questions about sections of the book that are NOT finished. Towards this end, I am building an email group of patrons so that I can send you advanced notice of the Zoom sessions in a timely manner. To best stay in touch with me, and me with you, please put “Zoom Patreon” at the beginning of the subject line so I know to add, change or delete your email status as you wish. My email addresses are [email protected] and [email protected]. Please feel free to let me know your suggestions, edits, typos, and less-than-ideal explanations. Thank you for your patronage! ——Steven Wm. Fowkes, 7 July 2020, Cupertino, California, USA PS: Feel free to distribute this book to your friends, family and loved ones.

Fowkes page 3 of 251 Note to Everybody Receiving this Book as a Gift If you are reading this book and do not know about Patreon, it’s likely that somebody gave it to you or you downloaded it. This is a good thing. I want this information to spread far and wide. Patreon.com is the online platform where this book is being serially published. This is the fifth serial release at ten months into the project. This information is an antidote to the vaccine-only scare tactics that the media, public health officials and governmental bureaucrats are using to impose nonsensical and unprecedentedly disastrous public-health policies on otherwise-free people in fear of their lives and loved one’s lives. Although the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is structurally optimized for infecting humans, that’s not where the mortality risk lies. The average person contracts about 20 novel viruses every year, most of them quite infectious. The danger lies in the oxidative stress caused by Covid-19 disease. The people at great risk are those with low antioxidant reserves: the elderly, the infirm, those with chronic illness and those with low metabolism. All those pre-existing health conditions that increase Covid-19 risk also cause low antioxidant reserves. Oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, redox-buffering and antioxidant reserve are explained in detail in these pages. It’s not just viruses that induce oxidative stress. Bacterial infection (sepsis) does, too. The good news is that antioxidant reserves can be strengthened quite easily. This book will tell you how to do that. Almost all of the natural anti-viral substances covered here are sold over-the-counter as supplements. You do not actually need the government to help you. The power is in your hands. The bad news is that 90-99% of hospitals will not strengthen your antioxidant reserves. In fact, they will do the opposite, by taking away your antioxidant supplements for the duration of your stay, or by hydrating you with a D5W IV drip, instead of saline or Ringer’s lactate. This failure to treat Covid-19 infections with the right therapeutic strategy is why the death rate is so high in most hospitals. Elder-care facilities also fail to treat it properly. There are private-practice doctors who have been strengthening antioxidant reserves dating back 80 years! Some of these pioneer doctors have even published their amazing results. It’s all just being ignored by mainstream medicine, or attacked as if it were medical heresy, just like the Catholic Church did during the Renaissance Age in resisting the idea that the earth revolves around the sun. Everybody knew that the Earth was the center of the universe. But they were all wrong. Today, everybody knows that what the government and media are saying is the truth. It’s all about the deadliness of Covid-19 and nothing about oxidative stress. It’s not about hot spots, it’s just that other areas are lucky. Covid-19 kills perfectly healthy people. There is no need to consider oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in treatment. But they are also all wrong. And you can know it now. Copyright © 2020-2021 by Steven Wm. Fowkes. All rights reserved. page 3 Natural Anti-Viral Self Defense 210130 Steven Wm. Fowkes page 4 of 251 With this “heretical” knowledge, you will be empowered in ways far beyond knowing that the sun is the center of our solar system. The antioxidant defense system (and the redox-buffering system that is its foundation) can be easily (and almost effortlessly) strengthened by dietary supplements that are widely available in the over-the-counter market. At this time, such decisions are still 90% your choice. Those vested interests which are maneuvering to corner the market on future Corona-19 vaccines would like to shut down the availability of these dietary supplements. They already say that “vitamins make expensive urine,” despite the same being equally true of drugs in every respect. Their allies at Facebook have already started to censor dietary and medical advice from honest and knowledgeable doctors and biohackers (like me).
