Shocking new study says coronavirus infections double every 2.4 days
If you're wondering just how quickly the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) is actually spreading these days, look no further than a new study published in the journalthat estimates cases are now doubling every 2.4 days.
Even more serious than the 3.5-day estimate of Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, this 2.4-day doubling rate means exactly what it says: every 2.4 days, the number of new Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) cases is doubling.
This doesn't mean that health authorities are detecting them all right away, of course. Many of them are still relying on communist China's bogus numbers to reassure the world that everything is under control when the truth is that it's more than likely not.
Based on an extensive assessment of individual case reports and estimated key epidemiology parameters, including the incubation period for the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19), now said to be upwards of 24 days, researchers determined that this outbreak, at least in its early days, was spreading extremely rapidly.
Further, they estimate that the R0, or reproductive rate, for the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) is somewhere between 4.7 and 6.6, which is pretty close to the range put forth by other studies.
"We further show that quarantine and contact tracing of symptomatic individuals alone may not be effective and early, strong control measures are needed to stop transmission of the virus," they wrote in their abstract.
Listen below as the Health Ranger talks about how this pandemic is shaping up to be a black swan event that could take down the global economy:
China now destroying its own cash to reign in the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19)
Part of the problem is that the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) has something of an affinity for surfaces as well as bodies. This may be a strange way of putting it, but suffice it to say that the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) is still infectious even on inanimate objects, and for an unknown period of time, oddly enough.
While some reports suggested five days, followed by nine days, it seems as though nobody truly knows just how long this apparently lab-escaped novel coronavirus can persist on surfaces, which is why drastic measures are now being taken to try to eradicate its potential presence.
"Based on the current available data, I would primarily rely on the data from SARS coronavirus, which is the closest relative to the novel coronavirus – with 80% sequence similarity – among the coronaviruses tested," says Dr. Charles Chiu, an infectious disease professor at the University of California, San Francisco. "For SARS coronavirus, the range of persistence on surfaces was less than five minutes to nine days."
At the same time, we're dealing with a whole different animal here, as the Wuhan coronavirus is of a type and variety that hasn't been observed in nature, especially with what appear to be artificially spliced genes that were synthetically engineered into its structure.
"It is very difficult to extrapolate these findings to the novel coronavirus due to the different strains, viral titers and environmental conditions that were tested in the various studies and the lack of data on the novel coronavirus itself," Dr. Chiu is further quoted as saying.
"More research using cultures of the novel coronavirus are needed to establish the duration that it can survive on surfaces."
In the meantime, communist China is taking its own drastic measures to try to obliterate it, including by disinfecting large areas where it might have lodged itself, as well as destroying paper cash and coins of its own currency because these items pass through many people's hands every day.

( Natural News ) A couple weeks back , Zero Hedge was banned from Twitter for supposedly spreading “ fake news ” about the Wuhan coronavirus ( CoVid-19 ) being a potential bioweapon that escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology ( WIV ) , China ’ s only biosafety level 4 ( BSL-4 ) laboratory .

A couple weeks back,was banned from Twitter for supposedly spreading "fake news" about the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) being a potential bioweapon that escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), China's only biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory. Well, guess what? Now the mainstream media is beginning to report the exact same thing – but this time it's okay because the "authoritative voices" are the ones saying it.
And just why is the mainstream media now reluctantly admitting to this, you might be asking? Part of the reason is the fact that the WIV itself, we now know, issued a memorandum to all of its employees on January 2 forbidding them to publicly release any information about the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19), presumably because doing so would have quickly linked the novel disease right back to the facility.
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who we previously reported was among the first public figures to call out communist China for what appears to be the release of a deadly, synthesized virus, is now publicly claiming that the regime is refusing to hand over evidence about the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) that does, in fact, link it to work being done at China's BSL-4 lab.
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Sen. Cotton told Maria Bartiromo that new evidence he's seen confirms that the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) didn't come from the Huanan seafood market as originally claimed, but rather from this high-level Chinese lab that handles all sorts of deadly, and often engineered, pathogens.
"Epidemiologists, who are widely respected from China, published a study in the international journal Lancet have demonstrated that several of the original cases did not have any contact with that food market," Sen. Cotton stated during the interview.
"The virus went into that food market before it came out of that food market. So, we don't know where it originated ... We also know that only a few miles away from that market is China's only bio-safety level-four super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases."
The good news about the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) is that, while it's destroying people's bodies, it can't destroy their souls. Listen below as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, discusses this further:
Cotton: China is engaging in "duplicity and dishonesty"
What Sen. Cotton is asking of communist China is for its leaders to come clean about whether or not the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) was a WIV lab creation, which it increasingly appears to be. But rather than tell the truth, China is engaging in "duplicity and dishonesty" about the situation, he says, while being "very secretive" about what actually happens inside that lab.
"China right now is not giving any evidence on that question at all," he contends.
Sen. Cotton also says that China is continuing to bar American scientists from traveling to Wuhan themselves to try to aid in discovering the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19). It's almost as if they don't want the world to know the truth, wouldn't you say?
Keep in mind that a new report by scientists from the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou also concluded that "the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan." Will this institution of higher learning and the study it produced also be banned from Twitter for spreading "misinformation?"
"One of the laboratories named in the report which was conducting research on bat coronavirus was located just 280 meters from the site of the Wuhan meat market," explains Paul Joseph Watson about the unfolding situation.

naturalnews--2020-02-19--China to change definition of coronavirus "infection" again in pursuit of fewer cases

( Natural News ) One week ago , China shocked the global community and capital markets , when it unexpectedly reported a huge jump in new Coronavirus cases , which after declining comfortably for the prior week , suddenly soared by nearly 15,000 overnight .
The move , which stunned markets sending futures sharply lower as the carefully crafted narrative that China was regaining control over the coronavirus epidemic , was the result of Beijing ’ s intention to appear “ transparent ” with the public and to concede that the situation was worse ( but not far too worse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the flood of media reports showing infected ( and not infected ) Chinese citizens getting carted away against their will to places unknown , even as hundreds of random people would fall dead , their final moments caught on camera .
As a result , the province of Hubei , epicenter for the Coronavirus infection , changed the definition of infection and loosened its diagnosis criteria by starting to classify as “ confirmed ” cases that were clinically diagnosed by physicians , instead of purely validated by a genetic test .
The move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provinces , led to a dramatic surge in newly reported cases in Hubei to 10 times the previous rate .
Admitting they were “ doing it wrong ” , Chinese officials said the change was necessary due to the prevalence of undercounting inside the virus-ridden province .
There was just one problem : when China changed the definition of infections , it apparently also changed the definition of “ death ” , because not only did the number of new infections surge , so did the number of new fatalities , something which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason for the definition change was true .
It took China about 24 hours to realize the massive mistake it had made by upward revising both the number of new “ cases ” and “ deaths ” , and one day later it once again revised the official number of deaths reported on Feb 13 , this time sharply lower , blaming “ double counting ” for its latest fabrication fuck up .
The problem is that despite Beijing ’ s best intentions to regain the people ’ s trust after the upward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how “ open and transparent ” it really is , the message most took home is that Beijing was manipulating the infection data more than even the most hardened skeptics and critics expected , and as a result virtually nobody has dared to show up to their place of work , nearly three weeks after the end of the Lunar New Year , and as a result China ’ s economy has ground to a halt , and continues to flatline to this day , suggesting a global recession may now be inevitable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finds itself in the same spot , if facing precisely the opposite problem : not how to regain people ’ s confidence that it is reporting the correct disease numbers , but that it is safe to get back to work because – you know – China is on top of the whole pandemic thing .
It is therefor delightfully poetic that to achieve this China will now also do precisely the opposite of what it did one week ago , and starting today , Chinese national health authorities will report even lower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of guidelines for how coronavirus cases are diagnosed .
Yes , in the sixth edition of its diagnostic criteria released Wednesday for covid-19 , the National Health Commission has undone what it did just one week earlier , and has eliminated the distinction between how cases would be classified in Hubei province and other regions .
Cases will now be reported under two categories : “ suspected cases ” and “ confirmed cases , ” the document said .
As such , moving forward , and as was the case prior to Feb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ confirmed ” if they stem from a positive result in a nucleic acid test , not if they are clinically diagnosed by physicians .
What this means is that , in its scramble to “ confirm ” that it has regained control over the Coronavirus , China ’ s National Health Commission may report – as soon as this evening – the first official drop in new cases since the pandemic started .
Why does this matter ?
Because that is now the catalyst everyone is waiting for to pounce and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even if of course isn ’ t .
But since for China it is no longer an option to not have people go to work , the Chinese Communist Party will take its chances with another major breakout in coronavirus , or rather pneumonia , which is how all the thousands of new “ mystery ” deaths will be tagged by the friendly Chinese coroner , who will be instructed to never use the word coronavirus again and instead attributed covid-19 fatalities to far more mundane causes such as pneumonia , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course , is just how bad is the situation on the ground if Beijing is now willing to openly force people into situations which have a high probability of a fatal outcome .

China to change definition of coronavirus “infection” again in pursuit of fewer cases
One week ago, China shocked the global community and capital markets, when it unexpectedly reported a huge jump in new Coronavirus cases, which after declining comfortably for the prior week, suddenly soared by nearly 15,000 overnight.
(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)
The move, which stunned markets sending futures sharply lower as the carefully crafted narrative that China was regaining control over the coronavirus epidemic, was the result of Beijing's intention to appear "transparent" with the public and to concede that the situation was worse (but not far too worse) than officially represented, especially amid the flood of media reports showing infected (and not infected) Chinese citizens getting carted away against their will to places unknown, even as hundreds of random people would fall dead, their final moments caught on camera. As a result, the province of Hubei, epicenter for the Coronavirus infection, changed the definition of infection and loosened its diagnosis criteria by starting to classify as “confirmed” cases that were clinically diagnosed by physicians, instead of purely validated by a genetic test.
The move, which was not followed by other provinces, led to a dramatic surge in newly reported cases in Hubei to 10 times the previous rate. Admitting they were "doing it wrong", Chinese officials said the change was necessary due to the prevalence of undercounting inside the virus-ridden province.
There was just one problem: when China changed the definition of infections, it apparently also changed the definition of “death”, because not only did the number of new infections surge, so did the number of new fatalities, something which should not have happened if the stated reason for the definition change was true.
It took China about 24 hours to realize the massive mistake it had made by upward revising both the number of new "cases" and "deaths", and one day later it once again revised the official number of deaths reported on Feb 13, this time sharply lower, blaming "double counting" for its latest fabrication fuck up.
The problem is that despite Beijing's best intentions to regain the people's trust after the upward "infection" revision, showing just how "open and transparent" it really is, the message most took home is that Beijing was manipulating the infection data more than even the most hardened skeptics and critics expected, and as a result virtually nobody has dared to show up to their place of work, nearly three weeks after the end of the Lunar New Year, and as a result China's economy has ground to a halt, and continues to flatline to this day, suggesting a global recession may now be inevitable.
So one week later, Beijing finds itself in the same spot, if facing precisely the opposite problem: not how to regain people's confidence that it is reporting the correct disease numbers, but that it is safe to get back to work because - you know - China is on top of the whole pandemic thing.
It is therefor delightfully poetic that to achieve this China will now also do precisely the opposite of what it did one week ago, and starting today, Chinese national health authorities will report even lower new infection numbers, following the release of guidelines for how coronavirus cases are diagnosed.
Yes, in the sixth edition of its diagnostic criteria released Wednesday for covid-19, the National Health Commission has undone what it did just one week earlier, and has eliminated the distinction between how cases would be classified in Hubei province and other regions. Cases will now be reported under two categories: “suspected cases” and “confirmed cases,” the document said.
As such, moving forward, and as was the case prior to Feb 13, cases will only be described as “confirmed” if they stem from a positive result in a nucleic acid test, not if they are clinically diagnosed by physicians.
What this means is that, in its scramble to "confirm" that it has regained control over the Coronavirus, China's National Health Commission may report - as soon as this evening - the first official drop in new cases since the pandemic started. Why does this matter? Because that is now the catalyst everyone is waiting for to pounce and declare that the epidemic is effectively over, even if of course isn't. But since for China it is no longer an option to not have people go to work, the Chinese Communist Party will take its chances with another major breakout in coronavirus, or rather pneumonia, which is how all the thousands of new "mystery" deaths will be tagged by the friendly Chinese coroner, who will be instructed to never use the word coronavirus again and instead attributed covid-19 fatalities to far more mundane causes such as pneumonia, and ordinary flu.
The real question, of course, is just how bad is the situation on the ground if Beijing is now willing to openly force people into situations which have a high probability of a fatal outcome. The bigger question, however, is how many people will actually believe Beijing that the pandemic is now on its way out and actually do as Beijing demands, because if enough of China's 1.4 billion decide they have had enough of being lied to and sacrificed for the "greater supply chain good", then things in China can turn very ugly, fast.

naturalnews--2020-02-19--"I am so angry my mind's gone blank": China outrage explodes after Beijing propaganda backfires

( Natural News ) As readers can probably imagine , it takes a lot to set off a genuine public furor in China , especially when the subject is critical of the government , or challenges its authority in any way .
Yet a video depicting nurses in Gansu Province having their hair shaved off has accomplished just that , while raising serious questions about Beijing ’ s ability to contain the public frustration over its handling of the coronavirus outbreak that spawned COVID 2019 .
In the video report , which was posted by the newspaper “ Gansu Daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to better accommodate the full-body medical gear that they will be wearing in Hubei , where they were being sent by the government .
Viewers can watch the original video here .
Many more videos of nurses cutting their hair can be found on YouTube .
And what appears to be another propaganda film by the SCMP can be viewed below : But for whatever reason , that original video triggered a severe backlash that prompted China ’ s censors to spring into action .
They took forced the Gansu paper to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pages and website .
Even in the US , it ’ s difficult to find online .
According to Quartz , the video generated comments like these , translated from Weibo ( like China ’ s Twitter ) by Quartz : “ In the video , the people who shaved the women ’ s heads grabbed their ponytails roughly and just started shaving their hair using electronic clippers .
Are you treating them as humans or some animals waiting to be shaved ?
I am so angry that my mind ’ s gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ link in Chinese ) on Weibo yesterday ( Feb. 17 ) , when the video started trending on the network .
“ If you didn ’ t tell me they were medical workers , I would have thought they were some evil criminals who were going through this serious humiliation…Even their tears are used by the authorities to try to touch the audience , making them the illustration of the spirit of collectivism , ” wrote Chen Mashu , an author for “ Epoch Story , ” an account on messaging app WeChat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social affairs .
China appears to be running into one of the unavoidable conflicts that arises from an authoritarian system out of step with a liberal world : In the digital age , you can ’ t possibly keep out all of the information from outside ( unless you ’ re North Korea , and even they can ’ t hide all of it ) .
What ’ s worse is this latest incident appears to be a propaganda stunt gone awry .
But China doesn ’ t want to emulate North Korea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The North Korean people are without a doubt the most heavily controlled on the planet in terms of the level of government involvement in their lives .
It ’ s a libertarian ’ s nightmare .
But in China , the people have a better idea of how Beijing ’ s actions to combat the virus have been perceived , and – what ’ s worse – that there are others across China who feel the same way about the government censorship .
That is , that it contributed to the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak .
As one professor says , China has “ entered a different time.
” During the outpouring of rage and grief that followed the death of Dr. Li Wenliang , Beijing initially cracked down , before backing off , understanding that the people needed to grieve , before slyly redirecting their anger toward local officials , who ultimately paid the political price for Li ’ s death .
After the scapegoating of local officials , President Xi allegedly told the Politburo Standing Committee to get the word out to the state-controlled press @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front line of the virus fight.
” This command unleashed a wave of sappy human-interest stories in government-controlled tabloids like the Global Times .
Along with reports claiming the virus is ‘ under control ’ .
And directing hostility and anger toward the US .
Still , optimistic tales of triumph over the outbreak contrast with the lived experience of roughly half the country .
Some 760 million citizens are facing some form of quarantine .
Doctors in Wuhan have repeatedly warned about the atrocious working conditions , as many continue to work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has more than 1,1000 medical staff , more than half of the infected hospital workers annually .
Beijing has also staged press events with recovered patients and others to tell foreign journalists about how the virus actually “ wasn ’ t that scary ” and that they received the best care available ( which , of course , isn ’ t saying much ) .
The idea is to keep readers from thinking about broader issues .
According to Bloomberg , these staged events are meant to prevent journalists from asking questions like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan not yet fully operational ?
’ and ‘ so when are these lockdowns going to end , anyway ?
’ and ‘ what about all these supply shortages ?
’ The video of the nurses is hardly the only breakout social media phenomenon to spark outrage on the mainland since the outbreak began .
And we suspect there will be more .

“I am so angry my mind’s gone blank”: China outrage explodes after Beijing propaganda backfires
As readers can probably imagine, it takes a lot to set off a genuine public furor in China, especially when the subject is critical of the government, or challenges its authority in any way.
(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)
Yet a video depicting nurses in Gansu Province having their hair shaved off has accomplished just that, while raising serious questions about Beijing's ability to contain the public frustration over its handling of the coronavirus outbreak that spawned COVID 2019.
In the video report, which was posted by the newspaper "Gansu Daily" - a state-run paper in Gansu to better accommodate the full-body medical gear that they will be wearing in Hubei, where they were being sent by the government.
Viewers can watch the original video here.
Many more videos of nurses cutting their hair can be found on YouTube. And what appears to be another propaganda film by the SCMP can be viewed below:
https://youtu.be/Lzk7-Kw-K4w
But for whatever reason, that original video triggered a severe backlash that prompted China's censors to spring into action. They took forced the Gansu paper to take the video down from its social media pages and website. Even in the US, it's difficult to find online.
According to Quartz, the video generated comments like these, translated from Weibo (like China's Twitter) by Quartz:
"In the video, the people who shaved the women’s heads grabbed their ponytails roughly and just started shaving their hair using electronic clippers. Are you treating them as humans or some animals waiting to be shaved? I am so angry that my mind’s gone blank," said a user (link in Chinese) on Weibo yesterday (Feb. 17), when the video started trending on the network. "If you didn’t tell me they were medical workers, I would have thought they were some evil criminals who were going through this serious humiliation...Even their tears are used by the authorities to try to touch the audience, making them the illustration of the spirit of collectivism," wrote Chen Mashu, an author for "Epoch Story," an account on messaging app WeChat that publishes analyses and first-person accounts of social affairs.
China appears to be running into one of the unavoidable conflicts that arises from an authoritarian system out of step with a liberal world: In the digital age, you can't possibly keep out all of the information from outside (unless you're North Korea, and even they can't hide all of it).
What's worse is this latest incident appears to be a propaganda stunt gone awry.
But China doesn't want to emulate North Korea's insane level of social controls. The North Korean people are without a doubt the most heavily controlled on the planet in terms of the level of government involvement in their lives. It's a libertarian's nightmare.
But in China, the people have a better idea of how Beijing's actions to combat the virus have been perceived, and - what's worse - that there are others across China who feel the same way about the government censorship. That is, that it contributed to the government's hesitation to publicly address the outbreak.
As one professor says, China has "entered a different time."
"China has entered a different time,” said Gu Su, a professor of philosophy and law at Nanjing University. "Covering positive stories while withholding the cruel facts won’t work as people can still access information from elsewhere. The propaganda department needs to reflect upon its approach."
During the outpouring of rage and grief that followed the death of Dr. Li Wenliang, Beijing initially cracked down, before backing off, understanding that the people needed to grieve, before slyly redirecting their anger toward local officials, who ultimately paid the political price for Li's death.
"Letting people mourn about the doctor’s death serves as a pressure valve to let off steam," said Lynette Ong, an associate professor in political science at the University of Toronto where she studies social control in China. "Still, the most sensitive posts asking for freedom of speech were censored."
After the scapegoating of local officials, President Xi allegedly told the Politburo Standing Committee to get the word out to the state-controlled press to promote "touching stories from the front line of the virus fight." This command unleashed a wave of sappy human-interest stories in government-controlled tabloids like the Global Times.
https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1229822899755868160
Along with reports claiming the virus is 'under control'.
https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1229823874360958977
And directing hostility and anger toward the US.
https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1229848066578145281
Still, optimistic tales of triumph over the outbreak contrast with the lived experience of roughly half the country. Some 760 million citizens are facing some form of quarantine.
Doctors in Wuhan have repeatedly warned about the atrocious working conditions, as many continue to work despite having contracted the virus. Wuhan has more than 1,1000 medical staff, more than half of the infected hospital workers annually.
Beijing has also staged press events with recovered patients and others to tell foreign journalists about how the virus actually "wasn't that scary" and that they received the best care available (which, of course, isn't saying much).
"The disease is not that scary," said one patient in Beijing who gave her surname as Li. "If you are infected, you must believe in the country, the hospital, the doctor. They will definitely cure you."
The idea is to keep readers from thinking about broader issues.
"By allowing some criticism and focusing on human stories, they are keeping people from discussing more systemic issues," Tsang said. "Given the scale of the challenge, public sentiment could be much, much worse."
According to Bloomberg, these staged events are meant to prevent journalists from asking questions like 'why are your new hospitals in Wuhan not yet fully operational?' and 'so when are these lockdowns going to end, anyway?' and 'what about all these supply shortages?'
The video of the nurses is hardly the only breakout social media phenomenon to spark outrage on the mainland since the outbreak began. And we suspect there will be more.

A step-by-step guide to making homemade tinctures
Plants are known to be potent sources of medicine – they contain health-giving nutrients that help promote and support overall wellness.
They can be taken in different ways as well. Some plants, such as ginger (Zingiber officinale) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), are often made into teas to help solve problems such as indigestion and insomnia, while some, like turmeric (Curcuma longa) and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), can be made into poultices for external ailments. Some plants like the wood sorrel (Oxalis spp.) can even be consumed raw as a natural treatment for mouth sores.
However, simply brewing plant matter into teas may not be enough to extract all the beneficial compounds. Similarly, some compounds don’t react well to rapid oxidation, which is what usually happens when plants are crushed for poultices. Some plant compounds or phytonutrients also lose their potency when improperly stored – a common problem when it comes to raw plant products. (Related: Using herbal remedies: learn the basics.)
Therefore, it’s a good thing that tinctures exist.
A tincture is a concentrated solution made from one or more herbs. One way to make tinctures is by soaking and steeping parts of herbs – leaves, stems, fruit, roots, bark – in a liquid called a menstruum or solvent. Traditionally, the liquids used as menstruum are either apple cider vinegar or alcohol. Another liquid that can be used for steeping is vegetable glycerin.
This soaking and steeping process extracts the active components of the herbs. Although some recipes call for vinegar, the majority of literature on the subject recommends using drinking or grain alcohol since it can extract plant compounds such as resins and alkaloids, most of which are not readily water-soluble. As a result, alcohol-steeped tinctures are often considered to be the most potent of preparations, although this will also depend on several other factors, which will be explained further in the article.
Tinctures are usually taken orally, alone, or in some cases, mixed in beverages such as juices.
Planning to try your hand at making your own tinctures for your family? Here are some other important things you need to know:
Mind your water content
When making alcohol-based tinctures, remember that you can't simply use the same percentages of alcohol by volume (ABV) for every recipe. This has something to do with your herbs' water content.
When using dried herbs, for example, you must use alcohol with an ABV of up to 60 percent. That means that the quantity of liquid you use in your menstruum will be 60 percent alcohol and 40 percent water.
When using fresh plant material, you must use alcohol with a higher ABV percentage, say 85-90 percent, since fresh plant matter already contains water. This ensures that you are not adding excessive amounts of water to your mix.
According to seasoned herbalists and tincture makers, it's best to purchase alcohol that already contains 95 percent ABV, as it will be easier to dilute.
You can use the following formulae when computing the perfect dilution rate for your tincture recipe:
(% ABV needed / % ABV in bottle) x amount of liquid needed = amount of alcohol to use
Amount of liquid needed – amount of alcohol to use = amount of water to use
Amount of alcohol to use + amount of water to use = amount of menstruum needed
Making tinctures the traditional way
Now that you have a background on the necessary formula involved in making tinctures, you are ready to take the next step: making tinctures.
A relatively simple method, the traditional or folk method of making tinctures only requires equipment you already have in your kitchen:
Glass jars
Plastic film or parchment
Cheesecloth
Wooden spoons
Knives
Amber jars and bottles
The basic steps are also relatively simple:
Increase your plant matter's surface area by chopping it into tiny pieces. Put your prepared plant matter in a clean, sterilized jar. Cover the plant matter with your menstruum. Use enough menstruum to cover the plant matter completely. Make sure to leave space at the top so that the herbs and menstruum don't come into constant contact with the lid. Using jars with metal lids? Put a layer of parchment or plastic film on the jar's opening. Store the jar in a dark location. Tinctures can be ready in as little as two weeks. If you choose to do so, you can let the tincture steep for up to six weeks. Strain the finished tincture and store inside dark, amber-colored jars. This will prevent the potent compounds from being damaged by light.
Below is a tincture recipe adapted from The Nerdy Farm Wife that you can try:
RECIPE: Ginger Tincture
This is a traditional recipe for ginger tincture and is used as a natural remedy for stomach bugs, nausea, motion sickness and chills. The recommended dosage for adults is up to three droppersful, three times a day. For children, cut the suggested dose by half.
This may be added to drinks such as lemonade or tea, if so desired.
Ingredients:
1 ounce (28 g) dried, organic ginger root
4 cups vodka
Directions:
Place the dried, organic ginger root in your jar. Measure out four cups of vodka or other menstruum and place inside your jar. Place the lid back on your jar and mix thoroughly. Let steep for four weeks. Shake jar twice a week. Strain then transfer to amber bottles. Store in a cool dry place.

Research has proven that sleep deprivation affects both your mental and physical health. Data from studies have also found that not getting enough sleep can negatively impact female fertility . In a study published in the journal Sleep, scientists reported that women with insomnia are at least four times more likely to have fertility issues, unlike women who get enough sleep at night.
But how does sleep quality affect female fertility? The answer seems to lie in the role of sleep in all stages of the fertility process starting from menstruation, all the way to conception and birth.
Sleep deprivation and menstruation
A study published in the journal Health Care Women International examined night shift workers to determine how poor sleep affects people in the real world. For this study, researchers from the University of Washington worked with 68 female nurses younger than 40. After studying the sleep quality of the volunteers, researchers found that most of the nurses had sleep issues and that some suffered more than others.
The findings revealed that 53 percent of the nurses had menstrual changes as their shiftwork began. The women who reported menstrual irregularities also had one hour less sleep at night, unlike those who didn’t report menstrual changes. This study suggests that shiftwork exposes the nurses to artificial light at night and that they sleep during the day, which changes their natural circadian rhythm.
While some of the participants adjusted to this disruption better than others, those who were less tolerant experienced sleep problems that then changed their natural menstrual rhythm.
Sleep deprivation and conception
Sleep deprivation negatively affects the hormones of both men and women. Women who want to conceive must monitor their follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. If you're healthy, FSH reaches its highest point right before ovulation.
FSH helps prepare your ovaries for the release of an egg. When examining pregnant women, physicians first test for FSH to determine the cause of any fertility issues.
Well, it turns out skimping on sleep reduces the amount of FSH that is produced. In the journal Fertility and Sterility, researchers discovered that women who only had six hours of sleep or less every night have 20 percent less FSH than those who slept eight hours, highlighting the importance of sleep quality during the conception stage. (Related: Study finds that eating fast food has a negative effect on pregnancy rates by lowering fertility in women.)
Sleep deprivation and pregnancy complications
Even if you're already pregnant, you still need to get enough sleep each night. After all, sleep deprivation can still affect your chances of successfully carrying the baby to term. Several studies have found that sleep deprivation is linked to pregnancy complications in the following ways:
Pregnant women on night shifts or irregular shifts double their risk of suffering from a miscarriage .
. Pregnant women who work long hours, e.g., over 100 hours weekly, in their first trimester and experience sleep deprivation are at least twice as likely to have a preterm delivery (10 percent compared to five percent).
(10 percent compared to five percent). Pregnant women who get less than six hours of sleep every night experience nine more hours of labor on average, unlike well-rested women (29 hours compared to 20 hours).
on average, unlike well-rested women (29 hours compared to 20 hours). Pregnant women who get less than six hours of sleep each night are four-and-a-half times more likely to have a cesarean birth.
While health experts have yet to determine the exact link, data suggests that sleep deprivation during pregnancy increases inflammation, which often causes pregnancy complications.
Tips to improve sleep quality
If you are already pregnant, it's important to focus on your fitness, diet and sleep quality. Sleep for at least eight hours every night to ensure that you and your baby are in good health during your pregnancy.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, follow the tips below:
Don't drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks too close to your bedtime.
Follow a balanced diet and avoid eating a heavy meal for dinner.
Try relaxing activities like meditation or reading to get you in the mood to sleep.
Put your phone away before you go to bed so you don't disrupt your circadian rhythm.
Practice healthy habits and sleep eight hours every night to boost your overall health and improve your chances of conceiving.

Coronavirus infections, deaths and "community outbreaks" EXPLODE outside China; CDC warns travelers about "community spread" in six nations as infections skyrocket in Korea

( Natural News ) Remember when China first dropped a quarantine on Wuhan and the entire mainstream media told us the coronavirus infections would start to drop off beginning Feb. 8th ?
Now , nearly two weeks later , coronavirus infections are exploding outside of China , with non-China cases exceeding 1,000 and growing by the day .
The CDC has now named six non-China countries as areas where “ community spread ” is taking place , which the CDC says means , “ people have been infected with the virus , including some who are not sure how or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other words , all the health authorities are totally clueless . )
Those countries named by the CDC are : “ The United States warned travelers of “ apparent community spread ” of the new virus in five countries outside of China , as well as the island of Taiwan , ” reports The Epoch Times : The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) is recommending Americans not travel to China and is also advising travelers of the apparent spread in Japan , Singapore , South Korea , Vietnam , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which recently committed the egregious error of releasing thousands of potentially cross-infected passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship onto the streets of Tokyo , is now rumored to be headed for “ second Wuhan ” status as an outbreak hub .

Remember Japanese professor Kentaro Iwata ?
He ’ s a small taste of what he said about the situation there , courtesy of Zero Hedge : “ The cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of controlling infections , ” he said in one of them .
“ There was not a single infection control professional on the ship , nor anyone professionally involved in infection prevention .
The bureaucrats were in charge of everything.
” “ There is no clear distinction between the green ( healthy ) zones and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And the staff is running back and forth , ” Iwata reported .
Non-China infections explode over 100 % in the last week The number of infections outside of China has exploded to 1,199 , more than doubling in just one week : Yet the entire fake news “ mainstream ” media continues to lie to the world , telling viewers that this pandemic is “ no worse than the flu.
” In downplaying the severity and aggressiveness of this outbreak , the fake news media is complicit in the spread of infections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take appropriate precautions against this rapidly exploding global pandemic .
Right now , there are 2.4 million people under lockdown in South Korea as confirmed cases there have exploded to over 100 .
Simultaneously , 1.2 million people have been ordered into similar lockdown status in Iran .
According to rumors , Iran has already seen 20 deaths from the coronavirus , although the Iranian government is only officially reporting two deaths .
As all of this is happening , North Korea is reporting zero cases , an obvious cover up of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Indonesia is pretending there ’ s no such thing as the coronavirus , flat-out refusing to buy or deploy coronavirus test kits , as if pretending there are no infections somehow makes the pandemic go away .
Oh yeah , and China is now forcing people back into the factories at gunpoint in a last-ditch effort to save their economy by keeping exports going , even if it means marching workers into the factories at gunpoint .
Hawaii , Washington and Florida all appear to be engaged in a coronavirus cover-up In the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obvious that Hawaii , Washington and Florida are covering up coronavirus infections .
In Washington State , state health authorities there flat-out refuse to test hundreds of high-risk people , apparently believing that if they don ’ t detect coronavirus infections , then such infections don ’ t exist .
It ’ s the “ don ’ t ask , don ’ t tell ” policy for handling infectious disease .
Note that as the Washington State Health Dept .

Coronavirus infections, deaths and “community outbreaks” EXPLODE outside China; CDC warns travelers about “community spread” in six nations as infections skyrocket in Korea

Now, nearly two weeks later, coronavirus infections are exploding outside of China, with non-China cases exceeding 1,000 and growing by the day.
The CDC has now named six non-China countries as areas where "community spread" is taking place, which the CDC says means, "people have been infected with the virus, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected." (In other words, all the health authorities are totally clueless.)
Those countries named by the CDC are:
Japan
Singapore
South Korea
Taiwan
Thailand
Vietnam
"The United States warned travelers of “apparent community spread” of the new virus in five countries outside of China, as well as the island of Taiwan," reports The Epoch Times:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending Americans not travel to China and is also advising travelers of the apparent spread in Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan.
Japan, which recently committed the egregious error of releasing thousands of potentially cross-infected passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship onto the streets of Tokyo, is now rumored to be headed for "second Wuhan" status as an outbreak hub. We have dubbed this action by Japan a "global suicide mission," and doctors in Japan have publicly warned that the entire "quarantine" of that cruise ship was run by incompetent bureaucrats who managed to expose everyone to the virus while pretending to be running a quarantine (i.e. "medical theater").
Remember Japanese professor Kentaro Iwata? He's a small taste of what he said about the situation there, courtesy of Zero Hedge:
"The cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of controlling infections," he said in one of them.
"There was not a single infection control professional on the ship, nor anyone professionally involved in infection prevention. The bureaucrats were in charge of everything."
"There is no clear distinction between the green (healthy) zones and the red (potentially infected) zones. And the staff is running back and forth," Iwata reported.
Non-China infections explode over 100% in the last week
The number of infections outside of China has exploded to 1,199, more than doubling in just one week:
Yet the entire fake news "mainstream" media continues to lie to the world, telling viewers that this pandemic is "no worse than the flu." In downplaying the severity and aggressiveness of this outbreak, the fake news media is complicit in the spread of infections and deaths because people are failing to take appropriate precautions against this rapidly exploding global pandemic.
Right now, there are 2.4 million people under lockdown in South Korea as confirmed cases there have exploded to over 100.

Hawaii, Washington and Florida all appear to be engaged in a coronavirus cover-up
In the United States, it now seems rather obvious that Hawaii, Washington and Florida are covering up coronavirus infections. In Washington State, state health authorities there flat-out refuse to test hundreds of high-risk people, apparently believing that if they don't detect coronavirus infections, then such infections don't exist.
It's the "don't ask, don't tell" policy for handling infectious disease.
Note that as the Washington State Health Dept. web page readily admits, the state knows there are 779 people who might have coronavirus infections, but so far they've only tested 26:
In Florida, the state Surgeon General there told state senators that he doesn't think the coronavirus is airborne, and he's refusing to release any numbers that describe the number of people who have been tested.
So Florida becomes the only U.S. state run by a doctor who apparently has less information than Third World nations when it comes to the coronavirus and its vectors of transmission.
And what's with the total secrecy, anyway?
When you put all this together, what we're really witnessing here is an obvious cover-up of coronavirus outbreaks happening in the United States, even as infection numbers are exploding across Asia (which is the second wave of this pandemic).
With the virus now spreading out of control in Iran, South Korea, Japan and Singapore, and with U.S. states now resorting to total denialism and "pretend medicine" instead of dealing with the reality of the situation, it's only a matter of time before large-scale outbreaks devastate U.S. cities -- a scenario the CDC admits they are already preparing for, according to CDC director Dr. Redfield.

The United Kingdom (UK), which has 74 of its nationals still on board, is considering an evacuation of its own to bring these people under appropriate care.
"We sympathize with all those caught up in this extremely difficult situation," a UK spokesman told the media.

Listen below as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, explains how to defeat a coronavirus infection:
More than 1,000 people outside of mainland China are now infected with the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19)
The latest data shows that there are now more than 1,000 cases of the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) outside of China, with new cases appearing to grow exponentially in some areas.
Iran, for instance, has reported two confirmed cases of the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19), both of which resulted in death. This means that, at least in Iran at the current number, there's a 100 percent death rate from the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19).
Once confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), this will raise the official death toll from the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) outside of China to seven. It remains unclear if these two Iranian deaths occurred in Chinese nationals or Iranian nationals.
The official death count in China is still around 2,000, though as we've been reporting that figure is likely a gross underestimate. With China now bringing in mobile incinerator units to handle all of the dead bodies, there's simply no way that only 2,000 people there have died from the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19).
Meanwhile, Japan has allowed some 500 passengers to disembark from the aforementioned Diamond Princess cruise ship, leaving behind about 2,000 passengers who have yet to be allowed back into their homelands.
"We need to find the best way to have a safe Olympics," stated Japanese virologist Dr. Hitoshi Oshitani at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan. Japan, as you may know, is scheduled to host the Tokyo Games this upcoming July.
"Right now, we don't have an effective strategy," he added. But by the end of July, we may be in a different situation."
Reports indicate that an upcoming public birthday celebration for Japanese royal leader Naruhito, which was scheduled to take place on February 23, has been canceled due to the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19).
