Late September 2021 we received a communication that CIW- Mindanao (Correctional Institute for Women), Santo Tomas, Davao del Norte, have COVID19 positive cases and has 1 COVID death. One of the concerns in a such facilities are their living and sleeping condition where there are several inmates sleeping in one one room and the risk of spreading the disease is immensely colossal. The probability of an out break is high. There are several factors that should be considered hoewever this is two is highly important: 1. the inmates and 2. the correctional officers. As mentioned the living condition of the inmates and the tendency of the outbreak within the facility however another aspect is the factor of correctional officers spreading COVID19 as they go back on their homes after their work. We took the initiative of emailing the Chief medical Officer of Dapecol (Davao Penal Colony). She is directly suprevising CIW-Mindanao and we addressed the Superintended. for IPK to render and extend our help in managing the affected inmates.In addition, for IPK to donate Ivermectin, Rapid Antigen Test Kits and Vitmain C Supplements. the email - approved to assist in treating covid cases and donate medicationsWe recived an approval on September 30, 2021. This correctional houses 756 minimum security and 146 medium and maximum security inmates. They then reported the following cases: 1 dead, 3 moderate, 3 severe cases due to COVID 19.

Contact us and VISIT IPK FB page: https://www.facebook.com/IVMparasakapwa/ For the interest of privacy and security we are not allowed to show the names of the inmates who took ivermectin and who were tested On September 28, 2021, IPK (IVM Para sa Kapwa) launched an Ivermectin drive in Sultan Kudarat through the leadership of some MUNICIPAL HEALTH OFFICERS, CITY HEALTH OFFICERS, and HEALTHWORKERS mostly from Esperanza, Isulan, and Tacurong. At that time, these 3 areas had about 400 active Covid 19 cases. Only a week later, Mercury Drug was reported to be out of stock of IVM as many more persons in Sultan Kudarat began the use of Ivermectin. The following data illustrates how HOME CARE KITS containing IVM with the supervision of devoted doctors and medical personnel help cure Covid and do so, quite effectively. As of October 24, 2021, the total active cases of Esperanza, Isulong, and Tacurong total only 49 persons. Sept 15 = 755 active cases - October 14, 172 active cases 1 month = 77.2% drop of cases On a provincial level, the improvement is also spectacular, from 755 active cases on September 15, 2021, the total active cases of Sultan Kudarat on October 24, 2021, is only 106 persons in spite of an increase of 1,185 new sick persons for this period. As of October 24, 2021, the Total Vaccinated in Sultan Kudarat is less than 25% Sultan Kudarat may just prove to be the Philippine equivalent of Uttar Pradesh in India, where a state of 240 million people has reported practically ZERO Covid cases through the widespread use of Ivermectin. The Chart shows that Sultan Kudarat has 1.11% the lowest number of Active cases and the 3.12% second-lowest number of COVID19 Related deaths with a 96.5% Recovery Rate. RECOVERY RATE

Recommendation: IVM Kits have a significant effect in decreasing the number of COVID cases in Sultan Kudarat and this warrant further study and research trial in its use for home care community-based early management of COVID cases..

Due to the collapse of the health system, we, the health professionals, have prepared this message for the people, in case you do not want to risk going to the hospital immediately;
Symptoms appear from the third day after infection (viral symptoms). 1st phase; ◉ Body pain ◉ Eye pain ◉ Headache ◉ vomiting ◉ Diarrhea ◉ Runny nose or nasal congestion ◉ Decomposition ◉ Burning eyes ◉ Burning when urinating ◉ Feeling feverish ◉ Scuffed throat (sore throat) ➙ It is very important to count the days of symptoms: 1st, 2nd, 3rd. ◉ Take action before the onset of fever. ◉ Be careful, it is very important to drink plenty of fluids, especially purified water. Drink plenty of water to keep your throat moist and to help clear your lungs. 2nd phase; (from 4th to 8th day) inflammatory. ◉ Loss of taste and / or smell ◉ Fatigue with minimal effort ◉ Chest pain (rib cage) ◉ Tightening of the chest ◉ Pain in the lower back (in the kidney area) The virus attacks nerve endings; ◉ The difference between fatigue and shortness of breath: • Lack of air is when the person is sitting - without making any effort - and is out of breath; • Fatigue is when the person moves around to do something simple and feels tired. ➙ It takes a lot of hydration and vitamin C. Covid-19 binds oxygen, so the quality of the blood is poor, with less oxygen. 3rd phase - healing; ◉ On day 9, the healing phase begins, which can last until day 14 (Convalescence). ◉ Do not delay treatment, the sooner the better!
PREVENTION IS NEVER TOO MUCH
• Sit in the sun for 15-20 minutes • Rest and sleep for at least 7-8 hours. • Drink 1 and a half liters of water per day • All food should be hot (not cold). Keep in mind that the pH of the *Coronavirus* ranges from 5.5 to 8.5. ALKALINE IS THE WAY TO GO So all we have to do to eliminate the virus is to eat more alkaline foods, above the acid level of the virus. As; ◉ Bananas, Lime → 9.9 pH ◉ Yellow Lemon → 8.2 pH ◉ Avocado - pH 15.6 ◉ Garlic - pH 13.2 ◉ Mango - pH 8.7 ◉ Mandarin - pH 8.5 ◉ Pineapple - 12.7 pH ◉ Watercress - 22.7 pH ◉ Oranges - 9.2 pH How do you know you have Covid-19 ?! ◉ Itchy Throat ◉ Dry Throat ◉ Dry Cough ◉ High Temperature ◉ Difficulty Breathing ◉ Loss of Smell and Taste TAKE NOTE: The hot water you drink is good for your throat. But this *corona virus is hidden* behind the paranasal sinus of your nose for 3 to 4 days. The hot water we drink does not reach there. After 4 to 5 days this virus that was hidden behind the paranasal sinus reaches your lungs. Then you have trouble breathing.
That's why it is very *important to take steam*, which reaches the back of your paranasal sinus. You have to kill this virus in the nose with steam.
At 50°C, this virus becomes disabled i.e. paralyzed. At 60°C this virus becomes so weak that any human immunity system can fight against it. At 70°C this virus dies completely. This is what steam does. The entire public health department knows this. But everyone wants to take advantage of this pandemic. So they don't share this information openly. One who stays at home should take steam once a day. If you go to the market to buy vegetables, take it twice a day. Anyone who meets some people or goes to office should take steam 3 times a day. written by Maggie van der Bilt reviewed by Dr Naseeba Kathrada Pandemic fatigue. Even if you’d never heard the phrase, you’d likely know exactly what it means. The WHO declared a worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020, and despite early assurances that it would be under control in a matter of weeks, 18 months later, we are still living in uncertain times and people old and young around the globe are struggling to maintain their balance in a world that seems to have slid off its axis. What is pandemic fatigue? |
