Dr. John, I just love setting in class with you. I'm 64 and learning something new every day, thank you Sir for your time and caring enough to share with us. GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS🙏✌❤
John teaches basic medical terminology as he goes along. Almost in a nonchalant way like you're one of his nursing students. I was once a CNA and I like that. Thank you Mr Campbell for not fully retiring from what you do best.
I had sepsis a few years ago and had not been aware of this ailment. It does make you feel like you are going to die, not only because of the symptoms but a feeling deep inside you. You just know you are dying. Thank you for this post Dr. Too many people here in the US do not know anything about this.
Thank you, Doc. The education you provide is invaluable. Needs to be on mainstream media everywhere. So grateful to have found your channel and have been feeding off of it all these months. You are the best! Keep going, and continue to be well and safe.
I went into septic shock in 2015. 3 liters of staff infection was drained from my body. IT was the most horrific pain i have ever felt in my life. 17 days in the hospital, 78 days on antibiotics, with pic line going to my heart and 3 months off of work. My energy level is 50% of what it was. Horrible horrible situation, Thank you God for letting me live...
Dr. Paul Marik: Potential Cure for Sepsis March 12, 2019By Pen2 Comments The word sepsis strikes terror into the hearts of most people with HS, and with good reason. Sepsis is responsible for up to eight million deaths around the world each year. Thanks to Dr. Paul Marik, sepsis may no longer be so scary and those numbers may be greatly reduced. Dr. Marik had his medical school training and residency in South Africa, earning a medical degree from University of the Witwatersrand. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Critical Care Medicine and has practiced in the United States for twenty-five years. As head of the General Intensive Care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and a Critical-care physician, Dr. Marik is no stranger to the ravages of sepsis. It was purely by accident he discovered the right combination to successfully treat the life-threatening condition. In January 2016, he had a patient with overwhelming sepsis. There was no question she was going to die. Dr. Marik had just read an article about the benefits of Vitamin C as well as an article on the use of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) in the treatment of septic shock. “At this point,” he said, “we had nothing to lose.” He administered a “cocktail” of Vitamin B1, Vitamin C and steroids. Within days, the patient recovered. Two more sepsis patients were given the mixture. They, too, recovered. The medical community has not been quick to accept this new treatment, despite its success. “Everyone was skeptical,” he said, “and they still are. Journals refused to publish the findings.” The demand, of course, is that more trials and studies be conducted. That’s easier said than done. “We couldn’t get funding,” he said. “Thank goodness some philanthropic donors came forward. We now have at least fifteen trials testing this combination.” The skepticism doesn’t discourage Dr. Marik. He is encouraged by the story of Inaz Semmelweis. Semmelweis was an Austrian physician who was considered insane and institutionalized for suggesting that handwashing could reduce the risk of puerperal sepsis.
laura archer very similar here. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I didn’t have staph and mine was caused by something different, but the pain and the pic line and initially the endless blood tests and the endless needles in every vein on my arms. Lasting damage in all the ways you describe. GP’s in particular seem to think once it is gone it’s gone, but in lots of ways it is just the beginning a different changed self.
Fourteen years ago I had ARDS and sepsis from bacterial pneumonia. My husband, a Registered Nurse, was convinced I was “faking” and refused to help me get medical care for 9 days after onset of symptoms, and I was too debilitated to help myself, being unconscious most of that time. I went into respiratory failure and managed to call 911, my husband refused because he “would be embarrassed” by emergency services arriving at the house! Thank God, at the last minute my brain kicked into survival mode. I spent 10 days on a ventilator in critical care, then was sent home, after much begging, four days after first breathing on my own. Frighteningly, they were able to culture the infecting bacteria, but NOT identify it except that it was Graham negative. It took 6 different antibiotics including Vancomycin, the Top Gun of the time, through a PICC line into my heart, to knock it down, and there were several relapses. I’m 99% sure I was exposed to this bug when trying to vacuum up flood water; by the time I noticed that the machine was producing a vapor, it was too late. It took months to recover and I had C. difficile from the hospital and a series of fungal infections because my flora were destroyed by the antibiotics. I was told upon discharge that even a moderate respiratory infection could kill me, so I am terrified of catching COVID 19. I am now 60 years old and as far as I know only my lungs were damaged. I have wondered if it could have been Y. pestis, which is an endemic zoobiotic disease here in California, but is usually overlooked because of its unfamiliarity. The husband I divorced!
Thank you for another outstanding video, Dr. Campbell. Having lost a loved one to sepsis four years ago, my mind immediately went to the likelihood that it would figure into COVID-19. I've been following your channel since late January and the information has been invaluable. I write for a small-town newspaper in western Pennsylvania.
@@ToscaAutomationExpert Another nurse vs doctor tard. Firstly do you realize your statement comes across as insulting to nurses? Let's hope you're never a patient in a hospital who's nurse has seen this. Secondly MD's are some of the worst teachers in the world as far as patient teaching goes. Believe me I know, have worked as a nurse for 30 years. Dr C is a PhD / Doctorate degree level Nurse Educator. A doctoral degree bestows the title "Dr" as one has earned a doctoral degree. Following me? A large part of nursing is patient teaching. Who do you think is the one reviewing your medications, treatments, upcoming tests, procedures, plan of care, discharge teaching, as well as talking to/updating your family and friends when you're in the hospital? MD's have a lot of education etc but they are NOT gods functioning alone. Please lose the Dr snobbery.
His way may even be BETTER because it allows //forces you to pay closer attention to the spoken information (rather than busy studying or copying charts and such) ?
dr campbell needs to stop pretending the body isnot an amino acid ,mineral and vitamin factory,the key to boosting the immune system is an amino acid,vitamins and minerals ,heres real science if you have low glutathione,low vit a ,low vit d and you get the coronavirus them three low levels can cause your death,how about that for plain and simple,health professionals are saying wear a facemask ,its bull shit the coronavirus is spreading the advice on wearing facemask is real fake science just like this doctor on this channel,his profession is toxic and vile ,if you dont know that do some research,you tube dr richard cheng - the shanghai trial ,they used 20000mg of iv vit c it stopped the cytokine storm and they didnot lose a patient on the trial,these mothers ventilate fluid filled lungs burst them and kill you in most cases,
Two of my double jabbed friends are currently in hospital with sepsis, I searched for the link without having any idea there is one. I am very frightened we might lose them. Thank you as ever for being here John. Please continue to fight for people like them through raising awareness of the risks. It's a crime that side effects and death are not spoken about; informed consent is a basic medical right. I am so fkg angry by this point.
I really appreciate these more technical videos. I'm a nerd, I suppose, but whenever I learn more about the details, I feel more in control and less frightened.
This video was simply excellent. This pandemic has changed the world, but these videos help me feel like I have a degree of control and hope, as long as I keep getting these trustworthy, understandable, science based information sessions. Untold gratitude for your continued excellence in teaching and research, from Calgary, Canada.⛑🚑🚑🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
As a survivor of Sepsis, I was hospitalised twice last year and the Doctors told my wife to expect the worst, this video brought back those terrible weeks. I’ve not recovered to anything like the way I was before, I have persistent urine infections as my kidneys, liver and bladder were weakened by the infection. I had pneumonia in both instances and several blood clots on both lungs that took months to clear up. I’ve never been able to return to my “normal weight “, my lower legs are constantly inflamed and I’ve become so much weaker to the point that I can no longer walk unaided. I’m so grateful to the staff at my local hospital here in the U.K., but I live each day as if I’m on borrowed time. My thanks to you and your dedication to inform us through your many years of knowledge of the human body. It’s very much appreciated.
dear sir check out the mayo clinic they give sepsis patients 20000mg of iv vit c the patient gets better in hours,pls find the video on you tube its the nurses they are bloody thrilled ,simple iv vit c dear sir i want you to take this please its very very safe,this is how you boost the immune system take n.a.c to boost glutathione levels naturally,this is absolutely critical,take cod liver oil caps 1000mg they contain the very very rare types of vit a and vit d the immune system needs,i call them gods gift to the human immune system and they are. take mon to fri - 2caps n.a.c. morn/eve plus 2caps cod liver oil 1000mg morn/eve that makes your immune system healthy,its absolutely vital that you take n.a.c. to boos your glutathione leveles,critical,a healthy immune system can cope with any virus,thats its job
@@2gooddrifters oh yes absolutely correct ,let food be thy medicine,the problem is many people have low immune levels they have to take n.a.c to boost glutathione levels,its absolutely critical,cod liver oil caps are food ,they are the perfect a and d vitamins the immune system need s
Having gone through bacterial induced septic chock and still feeling the effects quite some time after I tell you it’s no joke. Third type of antibiotics and a splendid team of ICU-staff to which I litterary owe my life saved me that time. Clotting of the lungs and kidneys has really taken it’s toll. If you can get sepsis from a virus you do not want to catch that virus no matter what, trust me on that. Take precautions.
my son needed 2 blood transfusions in November 2017 after birth was rushing to Children's hospital, asides from traumatic brain injuries due to vacuum used on brain over 15x. he needed a blood transfusion due to all his iv sites and umbilical cord being infected from birth hospital. He was severely septic, seizures, full life support. he came home in 30 days after. Does that mean he is more vulnerable. He has autism spectrum Disorder, sensory processing Disorder, and may have cerebral palsy. omg I'm feeling pain in my chest. I'm so scared. I have bad panic attacks. on top of the hurricane we are being just told about now. If it is like hurricane matthew or worse God please help us! When hurricane matthew hit we were hit with the eye before it intensified to a category 3.
This video ought to be aired on tv throughout the day, every day...wonder if the beaches, pubs and trains would still be crowded thereafter!!! Thankyou Dr., essential information for us all.
I nearly died of sepsis in the 80s, over the next few months I gained about 50lbs, my metabolism was clearly damaged due to muscle and who knows what other damage. There is so much that’s yet to be learned about this novel virus; far better to err on the side of caution. I’m amazed by how cavalier so many people are in wanting to just allow whatever could be to unfold. Thank you for your daily reports!
Many people just look at the low percentage of deaths and rather they be infected than following the recommended guidelines. They never *think* about the possible aftereffects of the virus.
@Dean Riley Thank you for sharing a bit! May I ask what caused the sepsis? My four year old nearly died last year from sepsis from parainfluenza3. (That's all they could find anyway.) I'm always asking each specialist - what is the long term? What do I need to be looking for - what is expected for quality of life overall?? They literally all say "well, we just don't know". Currently my son has many things going on with his health as a result (high blood pressure, lack of appetite, muscle cramps/pain, anger, lack of attention span, many other things.) Prior to falling ill he was the healthiest kid. You don't have to answer obviously, but could you please elaborate a bit. I know there's many complex things, but overall has your health improved over the years or how long maybe did it take to see improvement/return to normal? I'm sorry to ask, there's probably alot you don't want to remember but I have yet to hear what someone's personal long term experience has been surviving sepsis. God bless you!
@@PureBreedInnovator the reason the coronavirus makes people sick is because they weak damaged immune systems ,many cant recover because they havenot addressed the reason the coronavirus made them so sick,a weak damaged immune system,its so sad,the immune system needs 3 fuels if its low on them and you get the coronavirus,the response of your own damaged immune system can actually kill you,glutathione,vit a,vit d thats the 3 fuels the immune system needs,to boost the immune system boost them 3 levels,this is not rocket science,a healthy immune system can cop with any virus ,thats its job,the coronavirus is spreading so therefore the advice on wearing facemask is absolute bull shit,the key to this is boost the immune system,real science,facemask cant boost the immune system and neither can locking people down,
My husband had sepsis several years ago. We called the ambulance and within an hour he was on intravenous antibiotics. His stay in the hospital was a full week. He had several of the symptoms mentioned and he was sick to his stomach frequently. Such an important message you are delivering today. Thank you!
Yet another Excellent informative video Dr. John Campbell I can not express enough my gratitude to you for being such a wealth of information and knowledge during this difficult time Much love to you from Georgia, USA
@@SW-ii5gg canton ga here. Red area and have a few democratic friends around. But the pide piper keeps spewing his ignorance about Covid 19 . Love this site and visit everyday. Sorry for being negative but it’s the truth.
Dr John, this episode about sequelae is just what you and we were worried about. this is tragic news and in fact the current news that you provided about sepsis is scarifying. I cannot express enough appreciation about the job you are doing!!!!
Someone I know died of sepsis last year, he was in his early 60s and had been as fit as a fiddle, even playing sports regularly. It was so sudden, that's the scariest part. He felt a bit shivery one evening and thought he was going down with a cold - a few days later he was in a coma from which he didn't recover. Horrifying.
Yvonne Wilson that is exactly how it happens. I woke up one cold spring morning shivering, in fact it was a very cold day so I thought nothing of it, but the shivering did not stop and when I tried I could not stand up. It was all down hill from that moment. I had a fairly rare condition that triggered the sepsis, a spinal abscess. Well I survived it all but it was a hell of a rollercoaster as no one had a clue what was causing the sepsis. I was very fortunate to have a hospital that is very sepsis aware and who were determined to keep me alive, and encouraged me to have a very positive attitude, which I do think helps a little. A friend who I called because I wasn’t sure what to do said is it scaring you, and I said yes, he said then don’t wait a second longer call 111 and get an ambulance out. He knew I was very sick so he called back to make sure I would get to the hospital, as he knew it was time crucial, so I was doubly lucky that it was caught in time.
thanks Doc ' your honesty , and the fact you do not shower us with silly adverts ' been here from the beginning you have helped me on many fronts , and the fact i suffer from type 2 diabetes ' i have learnt so much about myself ...
The public has heard over and over about how “people with pre-existing comorbidities have to worry more” about COVID-19. I have been thinking, and this further confirms, that past infection with COVID-19 is the next major comorbidity that so many of the public will have to worry about for the rest of their lives. I think putting it in those flat terms might drive home how serious this disease can be as a lifelong concern.
Speaking as a Canadian, I find this scary enough, even though I have access to universal and unconditional health insurance. Nobody in Canada has to even think of the phrase "pre-existing conditions". I live in the only city on Earth that has three hospitals rated in the world's top thirty, including one placing fourth --- so I'm not exactly in a panic. But I am terrified for friends and relatives in the U.S., where it's most likely the Insurance racket will just define anyone who tested positive for Covid-19 as a pariah and either deny them coverage or force them onto worthless plans where they pay a fortune for "coverage" that covers nothing. Most of the Americans I know are ordinary people with limited resources, who have to worry about their health and finances all the time in a way that I don't need to, even though I am no wealthier then they are.
@kirby waite They have always done it and they continue to do so... Doesn't matter what 'reforms' or legislation is passed, this is how it is handled in the USA by most hospitals. journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/refusal-emergency-care-and-patient-dumping/2009-01 www.myamericannurse.com/dumped-nursing-homes-abandon-patients-hospital/ www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/03/michelle_obamas_patientdumping_1.html www.sacbee.com/news/local/homeless/article193308479.html www.azcentral.com/story/money/business/consumers/2019/03/13/patient-dumping-phoenix-hospital-left-homeless-woman-street/2661703002/ www.jsonline.com/story/news/investigations/2019/05/13/hospitals-divert-ambulances-when-incoming-patients-more-likely-poor/1133582001/ www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/some-nursing-homes-are-illegally-evicting-elderly-disabled-residents-who-n1087341 www.nursingtimes.net/clinical-archive/patient-safety/preventing-unsafe-discharge-from-hospital-20-06-2016/ You want some more references? Or is this TLDR already for you? I have mitigated on part of my Elder's care and you have to watch the Medical community like a hawk and be ready to pounce on them like a Tiger! Otherwise they will stall, balk, cut corners, cheat, steal, etc... and provide substandard care. With so many elders left to their fate in nursing homes or with a spouse who is also elderly and cannot understand the 'game' hospitals and medical centers play, they are easy prey. And yes, the Medical profession is quite predatory in the USA. They 'thin the herd' and always go for the easiest of prey and leave the ones who can defend themselves or are defended by strong family members alone and with proper care. I sure do not want to get old in the USA under the current standards. Thankfully my elders (grandparents in this case) passed peacefully after living full lives and receiving satisfactory and above care from the places they were ultimately in, but only because of my and other family members interventions... Without it they would have suffered terribly. Glad they were not here to see what has become of the USA now. It would have filled them with fear and disgust, even with their medical conditions.
Thank you again John. I feel you are my friend. You are a friendly man. And kind to share your experience with us. Everyone has an opinion,. I listen to experience. Yours makes me feel i can comfortably see this pandemic rather clearly and truthfully. Thank you . good job again. See you tomorrow.
I started showing symptoms 7/2 which became worse over the course of the weekend. Headache, body aches, chills, but no fever. As of Monday I felt like I was recovering, headache, body aches and chills moslty gone, then at the end of the week it moved to my lungs. The doctors in Texas (via video visit) are prescribing Antibiotics to forestall any bacterial infections as the lungs were affected and Albuteral inhalers for those of us who seem to be heading to recovery at home. After using the inhaler for a couple of days my breathing was greatly improved. (my oxygen level never went below 97). My husband who had a much lower oxygen leven was given oral steroids and was greatly helped with that in addition to the inhaler. I feel our Texas doctors have a good handle on this probability of secondary bacterial infection. I am on day 31 and must say still feel effects of this disease. But have been taking D3, Vit C, Zinc, Elderberry extract and a mushroom complex since March and believe that fortification was the reason I was able to recover at home and not develop really severe symptons. This virus seems to hang on with small bits of recovery felt every day.
D-3 + Zinc then Cysteine and Theanine▬Vit-c does not do much for this secondary covid-19 tends to attack the gut so prepare for social context not getting you banned from stores → all kinds of fresh food
@Georgia Rennick may I add a suggestion to what you are already taking try oil of oregano it's super strong so it has to be mixed with a type of juice, it is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral. I myself use this daily, I can tolerate 1 drop under my tongue, I included this to my daily regimen months ago
@@jocelynstuff1947 Yes: Georgia Rennick; Might need to reduce with a carrier base of some kind ~ worked faster than Garlic to counter dental gum sepsis
I have 5 family members near Dallas (1 household with ages from 10 - 78). All were treated similarly (in Jan/Feb) & recovered sucessfully @home. Btw the 78yr old went into the infection with fibro, advanced kidney diseass and copd (she has congential kidney probs due to being born a pre-mie; quite a strong lady).
A good friend of mine, Holger, died of sepsis a few years ago at the age of 53. He was an athlete and kept himself in good shape. He, his wife and young child went to visit his family in Germany for Christmas. He wasn't feeling good but decided to go out for a run. Woke up the next day feeling sick and kept going downhill. Took him to the hospital but it was too late. Died a few days after Christmas. I had just seen him a month earlier. His wife emailed me a few days after getting back to the USA. So sad.
@@bettymiller1929 As he said, you have a very short time to do something once sepsis sets in. If Holger would have gone to the hospital 12 hours earlier, he may still be alive.
I can't tell you how grateful I am to have stumbled upon this video, & how glad I am you're making them. I nearly died after being turned away from an ER here in Los Angeles last month. My sisters (both nurses) had pleaded with me (via text message, from the East Coast) to GO to the ER on June 2nd, because they suspected my body was going into sepsis. But not only did the E.R. doctor at refuse to admit me, OR test me for Covid-19, but when I grew upset, she CALLED SECURITY on me (and I was hooked up to an IV at the time, laying on my back in a hospital gown, and at 5 foot two, hardly a threat). I was sent home, and the next day, when I couldn't even answer my phone due to weakness/fatigue, my best friend showed up at my apt and made me go to another doctor that afternoon. Turns out my blood pressure had dropped from 130 to 80, and I was already in septic shock. I wound up in the ICU. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting this valuable knowledge out to us all.
Wow. I am so glad you are still alive. That friend really saved your life. Sad to hear hos hospital mistreated you. Stay in this Campbell group and along the way you Will get useful information and advice. Take Care.
We have seen this in the USA to. My mother in law have the slured speech and confusion the doctors thought it was a stroke but they soon came to realize she was septic. It took her a year to recover. She was blind for 6 months . It's so damaging.
DR.John Campbell thankyou so much for all your advices and videos i love listening to you your voice is soothing and you seem so kind please take care love you so much
Dr. John, everything you said about 'after hospitalisation was true about my father's case. He changed and never 'regained' himself' and folded up and died very quickly.
My husband died of bile duct cancer. He had a "drain" to help regulate his biliruben levels but it did not function very well. Your body doesn't like have tubes/drains installed in your abdomen. In the end he died of sepsis. I took him to the emergency room at 5:00 AM after a night in which he could not urinate. His temperature was very low and they treated him for that and then he was in ICU. It was a fast progression until his passing a 7:00 PM the same day. I think sepsis and pnuemonia has been the story of the world. Quick finish. VERY VERY unfortanate that a previously healthy person goes ths route with Covid-19.
1John 4:15 KJV Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world. 💛
Thank you for timely message. My father in law is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. Not covid related, but this gave us important information about his treatment and hopefully we can save his life!
That flu you had John that made you feel so ill. I had it in 1971 at 21. 3 weeks of being in bed unable to lift my head off the pillow. My Dad thought I was going to die. I wanted to because I felt so ill. The Dr came every day. Mind you not as ill as I was after a flu jab I got in 1972 pushed by my employer. I was semi conscious for five days and it took a further 3 weeks to recover. One of the Drs at our work clinic told me on the qt not to have any flu injections and gave me a written advice sheet on diet vitamins minerals and herbs. I have never had a flu jab since. I did catch swine flu in 2009 7 days in hospital 5 on oxygen and 2 weeks to recover. Symptoms very dry cough, raging sore throat, high tempersture and breathing difficulties. Nothing since thank goidness. Taking d3/k2 zinc quercetin vit c and garlic and high strength cod liver oil.
So timely. I work in mental health & an email went round yesterday Re sepsis. I’m very aware of how serious COVID is...but even I thought seriously? I could find headlines saying that up to 75% of hospitalised covid pts could develop sepsis in next year...but no research or rationale for why this was being said. Thanks as usual Dr. C. for rounding up the data so we can understand what we’re dealing with...
God bless, I worked for 3 1/2 years at a state mental health facility, I hated it especially if we were trying to quarantine sick clients from the rest of the clients in the acute unit I usually worked in.
I just seen a TikTok video with a brother, explaining how his sister became sick. She passed out, her son called an ambulance and when she got to the hospital. They found out that she had Covid and sepsis so straightaway. I went onto TH-cam to look up Covid and sepsis, and you were the first video that came up. Thank you Dr for doing this video so early on I have learnt so much just in the small video of yours thank you
This video should be required watching for everyone over age 12, so that the covidiots wake up.. with some clips of people in hospital or struggling at home.!!!
Wow, I had covid got over it , got long covid then got sepsis a year later. We couldn't figure out where it came from. This piece was like a lightbulb going off. Thank you
Also low blood pressure (half the normal) also another sign of sepsis? Gray lips, mild body rash? My son is now one year out of the ICU with sepsis from parainfluenza3. I just keep praying he'll be a part of that 50% that gets better completely. He has so many of the long term effects still. We watch him very closely, obviously. He's still with high blood pressure from kidney damage from being on life support (ECMO). But God willing he'll just keep getting better. I just didn't realize all the things that can come from it. Thank you for covering this.
Christine P but if a person presents to an urgent care centre then I can guarantee that we will be on the lookout for. As a personal anecdote, I qualified as a very mature registered nurse in 2006. I’d been registered for about 4 months when my mother became unwell. I was on one end of the telephone and my mother at the other. She’d been unwell and was waiting for the out of hours GP, she was diabetic and the only thing that I could think that could be tested was her blood sugar. This was elevated, not dangerously but enough to cause me concern. I suggested that an ambulance be called based on one number. My mother was taken into A&E with low blood pressure. I saw her the next day in the ED. Later that same evening she was taken into ITU with dropping blood pressure and put on noradrenaline and other fluids. The day after that I was old that I should get to the hospital. That afternoon the life support was switched off and my mother died, 48 hours after being taken ill.
True. My sister nearly died from it. Her symptoms were a few chills and some dizziness, a couple of hours later she was passing out and riding on an ambulance, was in ICU for a week.
@@MRCAGR1 i'm so sorry you and she experienced that... My gma too almost died from sepsis due to aspiration pneumonia 4 years ago.. she was pumped with noradrenaline to keep her heart pumping and organs perfused...I stayed by her side for 3 days with little sleep to make sure she heard me and that it didn't bottom out... Diastolic would stat in the low 20s..I found my faith again at that moment because she was my second mom and probably my first close friend... She's alive today, albeit a different state of mind, but I love her more than she could know and fight for her to have quality of life now at 86
I had a burst stomach ulcer but didn’t realise I thought I just had stomach ache stayed at home in pain for 2 days all the time my stomach contents where flowing around my body poisoning every part of me that sent me into septic shock , 10 days later I walked out of hospital and recovered 100% I was very lucky and very grateful to the NHS , that was 2 yrs ago am I a higher risk to covid ?
My mother was infected by hpiv( human parainfluenza virus) with type 2 respiratory failure with sepsis shock put on ventilator for about 8 days and now sleep with the aid of bipap machine, sepis is very bad condition
@immorton joe Resmed is about rs. 60 thousand in Indian rupees and we rented earlier for about 2 months but now purchased others machine from Phillips also available but expensive and in this pandemic bipap and oxygen concentrator are already overpriced
@immorton joe it is covered by central government health scheme for government employees but the hospital s which comes under this scheme didn't treat my mother due to greed .In this scheme hospital give treatment to retired employees on subsidised rate which are far less than their normal rate. The total cost was borne by us from our own pocket which is equivalent to 1 year salary of mine around 1000000 rs. Also health sector in India is totally run on greed
My GMA has to use this too, but because of dementia-caused psychosis and refusal to use the machine when at home at night, she often stats low in oxygen overnight if lying down prostrate. So, she prefers to sleep sitting up
@sanjay kumar that’s so sad to hear your story, so fortunate that you could afford the breathing machine. Wishing you and your family all the best. Stay safe and well 😷🌞
I had these symptoms in February and I felt lucky to survive; I actually was surprised I didn't die. February was early days in this virus and we've learned alot since then.Thanks to Dr Campbell I learn more every day; thank the heavens he's done this channel. I've had other strange infections since and I'm very careful about who and how I associate with people. I believe my immune system is indeed compromised and I'm working on trying to strengthen it.

@@esecallum thanks for this info..I wish scientists doctors who report on cv and it's risks would mention vitamin d c ect. Instead of all this scaremongering.
@@esecallum Too true. Same reason why a treatment like convalescent plasma, which has been shown to be effective, hasn't been run with in a bigger way here in US. Because it is a simple straight forward treatment that doesn't require an expensive new medication that generates profits. Similar story with Point of Care virus testing. These tests are available now, pretty cheap and actually quite accurate. So why are they not being talked about and used in US? Because there's not good money to be made.
Yes. This is why my doc said it is most important to take my emergency Z-pak immediately if I develop a fever. She said that intubation is the worst thing to do - the name of the game is treating as quickly as possible to avoid intubation due to the risk of sepsis. I could offer more information given to me but I do not want this to turn into a political ideology campaign string of unhelpful comments. My ailment - cavitating lymph node syndrome secondary to celiacs disease. Incredibly rare to have been diagnosed at my age. Most people do not realize they have and is normally discovered after death. It is a silent killer and kills off the spleen. The spleen is needed to fight off infections. So there is this whole vaccine protocol one has to follow to keep asplenic patients safe from sepsis.
@@sexyredapple1999 where are you located ? Usually you cannot buy z pack without prescription. Ask your doc to prescribe it . In many parts of the world runs as Azytromicin ..search google
@@Lolipop59 Sorry, I posted something to you that was meant for someone else. My apologies. I am tired of having to justify why I have masks and a single z-pak. All in my emergency pack since before COVID hit. They should make these available to everyone. The government should get out of the way. :(
DO NOT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS FOR A VIRUS... you are causing gut injury to your immune system. If your doctor told you to take ZPak for Covid19, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. Antibiotics punch holes in your gut... leaky gut and causes sepsis.
Lost my mother to sepsis last year. Fought for 60 days in intensive care. Terrible and extremely serious condition. Wish I had known about it much earlier.

Must have been a terrible experience for all the family, my mother died after a 14 day struggle in Intensive Care a few years ago. To watch someone you love suffer this way is very distressing. Hold onto the good memories as she would wish for you to be happy and healthy 💕
I came close to dying of sepsis about 20 years ago from an undiagnosed kidney infection ( I went to the doctor and urologist and neither caught it) . It’s a long story but anyway I can attest to the long term effects. My digestive system has never been the same. I have major issues with many foods although testing says I am not allergic. Inflammation, rashes, swelling, reflux, diarrhea etc. I had to pretty much figure out on my own what I can eat and can’t as well as how much, with what other foods etc. I’ve learned to live with it, I still have mild symptoms when I cheat and eat something I really like, but most of the time I stick with it. Chronic illness is no joke and it is chilling to think what COVID survivors maybe saddled with for the rest of their lives.
I have not felt good since Feb 28, back to the Dr and given another script of antibiotics( 1st was in March) second script was stopped no bacteria with symptoms still. I feel it’s a dollar short and a nickel late.. seems like my body has been fighting a war shortly after my grand baby was born in a hospital where shortly after I , my daughter and her hubby were ill. But maybe it’s a war that won’t be won by my 60 year old body although it’s fighting ..
@vaunnie thayer Sorry to hear that neither of your providers picked up on your ailment. As I posted above I've worked as a nurse for 30 years and seen things get missed. It's frustrating and maddening as a healthcare worker to see this. The level of care, especially in ER's, Urgent Cares, etc, first contacts for many patients, needs to be improved. Many providers are poor listeners, talk over patients, or are in too much of a hurry. Several times I've had to go to ER with one or other of my parents. Being a nurse I know what questions to ask and can advocate for my parents.Unfortunately most people don't have this.
One of the problems with kidney damage is that many people already have kidney damage but because their kidneys are still functional, don't know that they are. Many people think that dairy is a good source of calcium. And whereas it is, it is high in protein, the body responds to digestion of dairy like it does with meat. So whether it is any animal protein or fish or seafood, the body chugs out a lot of acid to break down the protein. In order not to have so much acid go into the next stage of digestion, the small intestine, before leaving the stomach, the amount of acid needs to be neutralized enough to go on. So calcium does the job as does Tums which are made of calcium. So are you really getting as much calcium as you think? Not really. When there is not enough calcium to neutralize the acid, it has to come from somewhere, doesn't it. As we see a lot of osteoporosis in the elderly in what are known as the "Dairy" countries we see a relationship between bone loss and the consumption of a lot of dairy and meat. But what then is happening to the calcium? It has to exit the body via the kidneys. This excess calcium which is being peed out, irritates both the kidneys and bladder. As women get urinary tract infections far more than men, when women go vegan, these infections stop. Why would that be the case? Calcium is not being peed out, not irritating the bladder or kidneys and kidney health stabilizes, more stones are not created. I am not sure if existing stones become smaller on a vegan diet. But plant proteins do not require a heavy acid load and kidney health is improved. People who go on a plant-based diet in many ways, my husband and I went on a vegan diet following his cancer. I mostly eating well, but when I really studied the plant-based diet and how it improves health and helps the body heal, I convinced my husband that it would suppress the growth of cancer cells the surgery from his Prostate Cancer missed. They will have missed some, even with robotic surgery, which he had. Going on 4 years, he is cancer free. As my mother and sister both died of breast cancer and I have not developed it, shows how powerfully the diet is in suppressing cancer. It is good for reversing osteoporosis when such super foods like kale are regularly eaten as well as other greens. Now if people want to be able to survive Covid-19, weaning off of dairy and eating less meat would mean they would be able to survive better. The plant-based low-oil diet, reduces cholesterol, reduce arterial plaques, lowers blood pressure and improves lung function. My husband and I found complete remission in lifelong asthma, my husband daily used his pump but also every evening used a nebulizer and he no longer has asthma as noted my his physician as the sounds of the asthmatic rattle due to phlegm obstruction, are gone. Phlegm is thinner and does not clog us up and we have not had a single cold since going vegan. Other vegans comment on this that I've talked to, so share similar benefits. I've recovered from arthritis as dairy proteins are not causing inflammation of my joints or my bronchial tubes. The question is for most people what they'd have to give up. I have given up the high risk of cancer and heart disease and stroke, or dementia as my father died with Alzheimer's disease. He had high cholesterol and clogged arteries, wasn't getting good blood to the brain. I am not going to miss seeing my grandchildren or in that I'll see them but not remember them. My father showed signs of this from age 60, I am 67 now and am savvy still. He died at age 84 but the last 14 years, he didn't even recognize me, actually proposed marriage to me in from of my mother when she was going in for her mastectomy. I am going to miss that. Are the things I am missing more important to me than a flavor I will miss? Absolutely not. My tastebuds have readjusted and we both find it so. We enjoy our food and we enjoy our life. And when my husband has had his cataracts fixed, he healed rapidly. He looks so much younger than others his same age as do I. We lost fifty pounds without hunger. How much do you love your life? That is the question. Yes, you can get Covid-19 with being a vegan but you will survive better. As who knows when they will get the vaccine for it. Be safe, improve your health doing what doctors can't do, fix problems like diabetes, they can only "manage them". I was pre-diabetic, my A1C is 4.6 which is in the ideal range. I do not have to take any drugs. My blood pressure is fine as is my cholesterol. I was addicted like everyone else as was my husband, to cheese and dairy and meats. But if you want to live and be healthy, your will to do so can overcome this. There are loads of was to go Plant-Based. You have to listen to the right people. Try Dr. Neal Barnard to start.
courag1 , thank you for this information, have always loved dairy products but recently had a gallbladder attack and suspect dairy is the primary culprit.
No not free. High taxes pay for it. In the USA, where I do not live but my sister and family do, you can pay for health insurance and the yearly cost is less than what we pay through taxes in Canada. Plus they don't have lineups as we do yet they have some of the top specialists in the world.
Cha 211 Everyone pays national insurance contributions, self employed people too, and employers also pay in, mostly with PAYE(pay as you earn), some self employed will pay on a different basis, maybe annually. Or make ongoing contributions. If you are on sick leave, unemployment benefits, or long term disabled your contributions are credited. No one used to be left behind, it was a universal right for all, more recently this basis has been slightly eroded. It is not perfect, but at its best the NHS is a marvellous system. I was four and a half months in hospital with recurrent sepsis, the tenacity of my doctors and the wonderful card I got ensured I am here to write this, in many places I would have died. I have had three hospitalisation since and had excellent care each time. I am starting to feel better than I did, the aftermath of sepsis is not fun, you think you are over it and can get back to normal easily but if you have PSS as I know I do, then your life will be changed. Any existing long term condition will be worsened not necessarily in predictable ways. Maybe this is the crossover with Covid, because if you have moderate to severe sepsis there is little chance your vascular system will go unscathed. GP’s in particular should have more awareness training of it and know to monitor survivors better. I fully expect this to be the case with Covid-19 survivors too. Good awareness all round is the key to better survival.
I had COVID-19 in mid-October last year and developed sepsis. My heart stopped and my lungs collapsed (according to the Critical Care nurse who saw me prior to my discharge). I'm really worried about what's coming in the future regarding my health but at least I now have some more answers than I had before. Thank you for the links and information.
I was this sick once with influenza. I was in bed and did not - could not- move, not a twitch for 6-8 hours at my worst. Not to drink, pee, stretch, change position, anything. I couldn't talk or call out to my family for help. It was very scary and I thought I was going to die. I thought this was the flu. Thankfully I obviously recovered. My thought with those this sick right now 🙏
Dr John, your time as an educator does show. Your information is easy to absorb with the notes you highlight. Thank you for your work illuminating the issues and ways we can cope
I have shared your videos to everyone I know. Your channel is the most reliable source of information & updates in regards to covid-19. I trust your channel over any news in my country sadly. No one is on the same page, absolutely no one.
Data from the USA suggest that the majority of new cases are now in the 20-40 year age range and created by behaviours rather than changes in the virus. The implications of this are staggering long term when combined with the sepsis effects.
Alexander Van Burk , sorry but your categorical statement that Ivermectin stops the virus is fake news. It might, and research is ongoing to determine that. Meanwhile, in describing why the US FDA does not allow its use in humans for that purpose, they describe a long list of known adverse reactions.
@Alexander Van Burk , I am certainly aware of this paper. What it says is that when coronavirus virus particles are combined with ivermectin IN VITRO, the virus particles die. In vitro means, literally, in glass. Believe me, it would be a wonderful world if everything that worked in vitro worked in animals. Sadly, that is far from true. The FDA cites many potentially serious side effects that could hurt people. The next step, which I believe is ongoing, is to test the effectiveness of Ivermectin on a coronavirus infection in animals whose immune systems are similar to humans. Since Ivermectin is already used on animals for other reasons, this test is ethical. Given that humans might be harmed by Ivermectin, it would not be ethical to test it on humans until there is a high chance that the benefits would outweigh the known risks. My complaint here was not that Ivermectin might be useful in the future. It was the blanket statement that it had ALREADY been proven to save lives. I know that we are all eager to see this awful disease mitigated and hopefully then vanquished. Still, jumping the gun can sometimes do more damage than good. I am not an expert on any of this, but I try to listen to people who are. If, hopefully when, success has been proven, I will celebrate with you.
Alexander Van Burk , the article I was responding to had In Vitro in the title. This reference here is to a different article, an article that references the in vitro article. This new article is a research preprint, not a journal article. There is a disclaimer at the beginning that says that articles like this are not yet peer reviewed and should NOT be used to guide clinical practice. I said that Ivermectin was being seriously evaluated, but the results were not in yet. I said that I was not an expert. I think that I have said enough on this. I hope you can find someone at your level of expertise to debate this with you.
Dr. Campbell, very valuable information for those unaware.. Sepsis is no joke! My now 73 y/o husband almost died from Sepsis in 2013 two months after a Nephrectomy, in ICU/hospital 3 weeks. Since then, his other kidney has worsened to stage 4 ckd, is hospitalized about every 6 weeks for infections since 2013, cognitive impairment. Mid June 2020. I found him unresponsive in his recliner, called 911, in sepsis again, acute kidney failure, there was no warning night before. He is still alive somehow.
Please, Dr John, could you review the clinical trials of using intravenous vit C for treating sepsis in critical care units over the last 5 years? I attended a presentation in NZ several years ago by 2 US doctors involved in clinical trials. They were using up to 100gm IV vit C with no negative effects, and the mortality rate was more than halved. Many clinical trials have used tiny doses and then claimed ambiguous results, of course, because for sepsis, the body churns thru huge amounts of vit C to fight infection. I'd love a review on any recent clinical publications, in the hope of saving lives from sepsis. Thank you Dr Campbell. I try to listen every day, to your reviews, and learn every time! Thanks for your huge commitment of time to our ongoing informed response to this pandemic. I'm very, very grateful! From NZ.
I survived sepsis in April 2023. I’m only 47 now, so 46 at the time. I spent 15days in hospital and 6 days in ICU. I was then back in hospital in July 2023. Two major surgeries, both with extreme complications and now I’m existing, but my body and mind are so damaged that i just don’t know if I can ever live ‘normally’ again!? It’s terrifying and devastating and I feel so lost. Thank you for understanding how complex and long lasting the effects and hangover of this is. I try to live in hope, but it feels all consuming sometimes.
I for one love the scientific videos such as this, antibodies and t cell response, vitamin d etc etc so please keep them coming! Knowledge is power in terms of defending ourselves from the ill effects of this virus. I have been on vitamin d supplements since mid march after having an illness covid typical (but who can know) at the last week of February until late march early April. As a (mild) asthma sufferer and someone whos battled depression for years it would seem I would be in the at risk category for Vit D deficiency so have been on the case and thanks for the advice on it!

Thank you for another informative podcast. Sepsis is indeed a problem. I hear the word sepsis more and more, and have asked myself pre covid is it on the increase? My sister law died in hospital of sepsis, and her family were devasted as it was sudden and not expected. Family members had a lot of anger around her death. This is a condition that can happen to anyone young and old, vigilence is required. I have learned that any kind of infection is dangerous and can get out of hand. Treat infection immediately and know how your body reacts to it. Awareness is everything, and can save lives.
Sepsis is usually associated with a bacterial infection. A cytokine storm associated with a viral infection. It used to be based on Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome , temperature above 38 degrees, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing and blood glucose elevated even in non diabetics. This has now changed and is stratified depending on signs and symptoms. It also varies according to age. What has been taken out of the equation is a raised temperature, a low temperature is more significant. NICE have a risk assessment tool based on signs and symptoms that is recommended in pre hospital settings. There’s an equivalent set for in hospital settings with treatment strategies. A tachycardia of >130, respiration rate >25, a systolic BP
Thanks doctor for your efforts to educate the populace by explaining complex topics in simple language. I am a UK based GP whose mum is a nurse and your care and compassion for others comes through. I have shared your videos with others as well. Keep up the good work.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Dr John, a man of 42 in a small town near mine ha finally come back and from the hospital after getting the virus 3 months ago. He is not able to walk and he has lost 22 kg, he a, lean figure before the virus. Now he looks anorexic...
I lost a friend of mine a couple of years ago. She contracted the flu, hospitalised a few days later, suffered a cytokine storm, triggered septic shock and died from multiple organ failure. It was the speed between hospitalisation and death what struck me. I will always remember the staff who were treating her at the time saying "there is nothing we can do, her own body is killing her." She was 42.
Not a nightmare. It's barely a blip on the radar of what its like to live. Its literally fear mongering and its impeding the quality of life of billions in the name of saving lives. At what point is life not worth living? Are we not more than just mere organisms? Does freedom not matter anymore? It's time to let this go before life becomes unlivable. Its not the virus that we need to worry about anymore. Its our response.
I had sepsis two yrs ago it’s the worst you literally feel like you’ve been hit by a bus it’s the strangest worst thing I’ve ever experienced it occurred because I had a burst stomach ulcer and didn’t realise I just thought I had stomach ache I left it for 2 days all the time my stomach contents where flowing around my body infecting every part of me , I had an operation and ten days in hospital and made a 100% recovery , very very lucky very very grateful thankyou NHS
The 2020 cocktail, Covid-19 with a chaser of Sepsis. Anyone still think face masks, hand washing, and social distancing not really needed? Thank you again Dr. Campbell for another excellent video.
@@SW-ii5gg Is it your ignorance showing or are you miss reading my comment? I am saying that everyone should be using face masks, hand washing and social distancing. There is no question about it anymore if there ever was. The chance that getting COVID-19 or spreading it to others could lead to long term health issues due to Covid or Sepsis make it imperative that we do everything possible to slow down or stop the spread.
Thank you again Dr J as always very informative. Greetings from a very peaceful Denmark where nothing much is going on, and COVID-19 is hardly mentioned any longer. Just recommending ppl wearing masks in public transportation, and so ofc we do. Final fase of our opening next week, meaning that there will be hundreds or even thousands gathered in concerts and so on. To me it seems like tempting the virus to return. I really do not comply in that kind of gatherings. We are so spoiled 🙄
My neighbourland. The large gatherings are really unwise. It is so easy to predict a disaster. Bedides it is just common sense to avoid concerts during a pandemic. Scientist in Denmark must be against this I assume. Enjoy the tranquility in my Beautiful neighbourland.
wow i get all those symptoms every day as i have severe emphysema, hypertension, diabetes and hyperthyroidism, i wont know if i ever have Sepsis then until its too late

Agreed!
Hallelujah! These videos should be required viewing for every American right now. :-)
John teaches basic medical terminology as he goes along. Almost in a nonchalant way like you're one of his nursing students. I was once a CNA and I like that. Thank you Mr Campbell for not fully retiring from what you do best.
According to JAMA, the best treatment for sepsis is vitamin C.
I’m very much excited to have come across Dr IGUDIA TH-cam channel some time back. His herbs medication are really effective in curing Sepsis disease
I had sepsis a few years ago and had not been aware of this ailment. It does make you feel like you are going to die, not only because of the symptoms but a feeling deep inside you. You just know you are dying.
Thank you for this post Dr. Too many people here in the US do not know anything about this.

I went into septic shock in 2015. 3 liters of staff infection was drained from my body. IT was the most horrific pain i have ever felt in my life. 17 days in the hospital, 78 days on antibiotics, with pic line going to my heart and 3 months off of work. My energy level is 50% of what it was. Horrible horrible situation, Thank you God for letting me live...

Dr. Paul Marik: Potential Cure for Sepsis
March 12, 2019By Pen2 Comments
The word sepsis strikes terror into the hearts of most people with HS, and with good reason. Sepsis is responsible for up to eight million deaths around the world each year.
Thanks to Dr. Paul Marik, sepsis may no longer be so scary and those numbers may be greatly reduced.
Dr. Marik had his medical school training and residency in South Africa, earning a medical degree from University of the Witwatersrand. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Critical Care Medicine and has practiced in the United States for twenty-five years.
As head of the General Intensive Care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and a Critical-care physician, Dr. Marik is no stranger to the ravages of sepsis.
It was purely by accident he discovered the right combination to successfully treat the life-threatening condition.
In January 2016, he had a patient with overwhelming sepsis. There was no question she was going to die.
Dr. Marik had just read an article about the benefits of Vitamin C as well as an article on the use of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) in the treatment of septic shock.
“At this point,” he said, “we had nothing to lose.”
He administered a “cocktail” of Vitamin B1, Vitamin C and steroids.
Within days, the patient recovered.
Two more sepsis patients were given the mixture. They, too, recovered.
The medical community has not been quick to accept this new treatment, despite its success.
“Everyone was skeptical,” he said, “and they still are. Journals refused to publish the findings.”
The demand, of course, is that more trials and studies be conducted. That’s easier said than done.
“We couldn’t get funding,” he said. “Thank goodness some philanthropic donors came forward. We now have at least fifteen trials testing this combination.”
The skepticism doesn’t discourage Dr. Marik. He is encouraged by the story of Inaz Semmelweis. Semmelweis was an Austrian physician who was considered insane and institutionalized for suggesting that handwashing could reduce the risk of puerperal sepsis.
laura archer very similar here. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I didn’t have staph and mine was caused by something different, but the pain and the pic line and initially the endless blood tests and the endless needles in every vein on my arms. Lasting damage in all the ways you describe. GP’s in particular seem to think once it is gone it’s gone, but in lots of ways it is just the beginning a different changed self.
Lord bless and keep you on the mend and gaining strength daily🌿
Lol, why not fu god for letting me have sepsis. Sorry for your troubles and glad you’re alive mate, sounds horrible.
Fourteen years ago I had ARDS and sepsis from bacterial pneumonia. My husband, a Registered Nurse, was convinced I was “faking” and refused to help me get medical care for 9 days after onset of symptoms, and I was too debilitated to help myself, being unconscious most of that time. I went into respiratory failure and managed to call 911, my husband refused because he “would be embarrassed” by emergency services arriving at the house! Thank God, at the last minute my brain kicked into survival mode. I spent 10 days on a ventilator in critical care, then was sent home, after much begging, four days after first breathing on my own. Frighteningly, they were able to culture the infecting bacteria, but NOT identify it except that it was Graham negative. It took 6 different antibiotics including Vancomycin, the Top Gun of the time, through a PICC line into my heart, to knock it down, and there were several relapses. I’m 99% sure I was exposed to this bug when trying to vacuum up flood water; by the time I noticed that the machine was producing a vapor, it was too late. It took months to recover and I had C. difficile from the hospital and a series of fungal infections because my flora were destroyed by the antibiotics. I was told upon discharge that even a moderate respiratory infection could kill me, so I am terrified of catching COVID 19. I am now 60 years old and as far as I know only my lungs were damaged. I have wondered if it could have been Y. pestis, which is an endemic zoobiotic disease here in California, but is usually overlooked because of its unfamiliarity. The husband I divorced!
Thank you for another outstanding video, Dr. Campbell. Having lost a loved one to sepsis four years ago, my mind immediately went to the likelihood that it would figure into COVID-19. I've been following your channel since late January and the information has been invaluable. I write for a small-town newspaper in western Pennsylvania.
Hi. I also found him in back in christmas tree time.
Thank you for honoring Dr Campbell's ongoing videos. Your candor is refreshing
I think you have saved some lives with this one, Sir. It exactly describes how I was feeling several months ago.
I wish other doctors explained things like this
Yes. Most people think that once they are over it, everything goes back to normal.
He's isn't a medical doctor, he's a nurse by trade.
@@ToscaAutomationExpert Another nurse vs doctor tard. Firstly do you realize your statement comes across as insulting to nurses? Let's hope you're never a patient in a hospital who's nurse has seen this. Secondly MD's are some of the worst teachers in the world as far as patient teaching goes. Believe me I know, have worked as a nurse for 30 years. Dr C is a PhD / Doctorate degree level Nurse Educator. A doctoral degree bestows the title "Dr" as one has earned a doctoral degree. Following me? A large part of nursing is patient teaching. Who do you think is the one reviewing your medications, treatments, upcoming tests, procedures, plan of care, discharge teaching, as well as talking to/updating your family and friends when you're in the hospital? MD's have a lot of education etc but they are NOT gods functioning alone. Please lose the Dr snobbery.
@@zonnacowell6227 Judging by your half-assed response you don't need to tell me you are a nurse. Doctors bad nurse great dur dur dur.
Dr Campbell doesn't do fancy graphics or presentation, just plain old fashioned pen and paper. It works just as well.
I love it. And his Parker fountain pen remind me of my European school days . Love this man. No BS just facts.
@TV Gerbil The "old style" teaching is refreshing quite frankly. Maybe cause I grew up pre-internet.
His way may even be BETTER because it allows //forces you to pay closer attention to the spoken information (rather than busy studying or copying charts and such) ?
dr campbell needs to stop pretending the body isnot an amino acid ,mineral and vitamin factory,the key to boosting the immune system is an amino acid,vitamins and minerals ,heres real science if you have low glutathione,low vit a ,low vit d and you get the coronavirus them three low levels can cause your death,how about that for plain and simple,health professionals are saying wear a facemask ,its bull shit the coronavirus is spreading the advice on wearing facemask is real fake science just like this doctor on this channel,his profession is toxic and vile ,if you dont know that do some research,you tube dr richard cheng - the shanghai trial ,they used 20000mg of iv vit c it stopped the cytokine storm and they didnot lose a patient on the trial,these mothers ventilate fluid filled lungs burst them and kill you in most cases,
Two of my double jabbed friends are currently in hospital with sepsis, I searched for the link without having any idea there is one. I am very frightened we might lose them. Thank you as ever for being here John. Please continue to fight for people like them through raising awareness of the risks. It's a crime that side effects and death are not spoken about; informed consent is a basic medical right. I am so fkg angry by this point.
I really appreciate these more technical videos. I'm a nerd, I suppose, but whenever I learn more about the details, I feel more in control and less frightened.
Lisa Daxer agreed.
@Lisa Daxer. Loving to learn is never nerdy, maybe in a good way! btw your cat pic is adorable.
This video was simply excellent.
This pandemic has changed the world, but these videos help me feel like I have a degree of control and hope, as long as I keep getting these trustworthy, understandable, science based information sessions.
Untold gratitude for your continued excellence in teaching and research, from Calgary, Canada.⛑🚑🚑🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
As a survivor of Sepsis, I was hospitalised twice last year and the Doctors told my wife to expect the worst, this video brought back those terrible weeks. I’ve not recovered to anything like the way I was before, I have persistent urine infections as my kidneys, liver and bladder were weakened by the infection. I had pneumonia in both instances and several blood clots on both lungs that took months to clear up. I’ve never been able to return to my “normal weight “, my lower legs are constantly inflamed and I’ve become so much weaker to the point that I can no longer walk unaided. I’m so grateful to the staff at my local hospital here in the U.K., but I live each day as if I’m on borrowed time.
My thanks to you and your dedication to inform us through your many years of knowledge of the human body. It’s very much appreciated.
Omg good luck for your future
dear sir check out the mayo clinic they give sepsis patients 20000mg of iv vit c the patient gets better in hours,pls find the video on you tube its the nurses they are bloody thrilled ,simple iv vit c dear sir i want you to take this please its very very safe,this is how you boost the immune system take n.a.c to boost glutathione levels naturally,this is absolutely critical,take cod liver oil caps 1000mg they contain the very very rare types of vit a and vit d the immune system needs,i call them gods gift to the human immune system and they are. take mon to fri - 2caps n.a.c. morn/eve plus 2caps cod liver oil 1000mg morn/eve that makes your immune system healthy,its absolutely vital that you take n.a.c. to boos your glutathione leveles,critical,a healthy immune system can cope with any virus,thats its job
A plant based whole food diet really helps with inflammation. Try Dr Michael Greger and nutrition facts.org for information.

Thank you, for the kind words
Having gone through bacterial induced septic chock and still feeling the effects quite some time after I tell you it’s no joke. Third type of antibiotics and a splendid team of ICU-staff to which I litterary owe my life saved me that time. Clotting of the lungs and kidneys has really taken it’s toll. If you can get sepsis from a virus you do not want to catch that virus no matter what, trust me on that. Take precautions.
Hope your getting better.?
my son needed 2 blood transfusions in November 2017 after birth was rushing to Children's hospital, asides from traumatic brain injuries due to vacuum used on brain over 15x. he needed a blood transfusion due to all his iv sites and umbilical cord being infected from birth hospital. He was severely septic, seizures, full life support. he came home in 30 days after. Does that mean he is more vulnerable. He has autism spectrum Disorder, sensory processing Disorder, and may have cerebral palsy. omg I'm feeling pain in my chest. I'm so scared.

@@conniestone6251 I've been pushing him, like a drug dealer, in tweets and comments all the time! But he is time-&-focus intensive.
I nearly died of sepsis in the 80s, over the next few months I gained about 50lbs, my metabolism was clearly damaged due to muscle and who knows what other damage. There is so much that’s yet to be learned about this novel virus; far better to err on the side of caution. I’m amazed by how cavalier so many people are in wanting to just allow whatever could be to unfold. Thank you for your daily reports!
Many people just look at the low percentage of deaths and rather they be infected than following the recommended guidelines. They never *think* about the possible aftereffects of the virus.
@Dean Riley Thank you for sharing a bit! May I ask what caused the sepsis? My four year old nearly died last year from sepsis from parainfluenza3. (That's all they could find anyway.) I'm always asking each specialist - what is the long term? What do I need to be looking for - what is expected for quality of life overall?? They literally all say "well, we just don't know". Currently my son has many things going on with his health as a result (high blood pressure, lack of appetite, muscle cramps/pain, anger, lack of attention span, many other things.) Prior to falling ill he was the healthiest kid.
You don't have to answer obviously, but could you please elaborate a bit. I know there's many complex things, but overall has your health improved over the years or how long maybe did it take to see improvement/return to normal? I'm sorry to ask, there's probably alot you don't want to remember but I have yet to hear what someone's personal long term experience has been surviving sepsis.
God bless you!
@@PureBreedInnovator the reason the coronavirus makes people sick is because they weak damaged immune systems ,many cant recover because they havenot addressed the reason the coronavirus made them so sick,a weak damaged immune system,its so sad,the immune system needs 3 fuels if its low on them and you get the coronavirus,the response of your own damaged immune system can actually kill you,glutathione,vit a,vit d thats the 3 fuels the immune system needs,to boost the immune system boost them 3 levels,this is not rocket science,a healthy immune system can cop with any virus ,thats its job,the coronavirus is spreading so therefore the advice on wearing facemask is absolute bull shit,the key to this is boost the immune system,real science,facemask cant boost the immune system and neither can locking people down,

Someone I know died of sepsis last year, he was in his early 60s and had been as fit as a fiddle, even playing sports regularly. It was so sudden, that's the scariest part. He felt a bit shivery one evening and thought he was going down with a cold - a few days later he was in a coma from which he didn't recover. Horrifying.

There are marked similarities between sepsis and sever COVID-19 th-cam.com/video/cMzUB-Utjo0/w-d-xo.html
Yvonne Wilson that is exactly how it happens. I woke up one cold spring morning shivering, in fact it was a very cold day so I thought nothing of it, but the shivering did not stop and when I tried I could not stand up. It was all down hill from that moment. I had a fairly rare condition that triggered the sepsis, a spinal abscess. Well I survived it all but it was a hell of a rollercoaster as no one had a clue what was causing the sepsis. I was very fortunate to have a hospital that is very sepsis aware and who were determined to keep me alive, and encouraged me to have a very positive attitude, which I do think helps a little. A friend who I called because I wasn’t sure what to do said is it scaring you, and I said yes, he said then don’t wait a second longer call 111 and get an ambulance out. He knew I was very sick so he called back to make sure I would get to the hospital, as he knew it was time crucial, so I was doubly lucky that it was caught in time.
Same thing happened to my dad. Early 60’s. He wasn’t as fit as your friend but even so, it was rapid and a shock to us.

My girlfriend just died of this this year she was just fine next day could not breath
Thanks John. Looks more and more like there's plenty of reasons to swerve this bloomin virus. The human body is fascinating...
The public has heard over and over about how “people with pre-existing comorbidities have to worry more” about COVID-19. I have been thinking, and this further confirms, that past infection with COVID-19 is the next major comorbidity that so many of the public will have to worry about for the rest of their lives. I think putting it in those flat terms might drive home how serious this disease can be as a lifelong concern.
Speaking as a Canadian, I find this scary enough, even though I have access to universal and unconditional health insurance. Nobody in Canada has to even think of the phrase "pre-existing conditions". I live in the only city on Earth that has three hospitals rated in the world's top thirty, including one placing fourth --- so I'm not exactly in a panic. But I am terrified for friends and relatives in the U.S., where it's most likely the Insurance racket will just define anyone who tested positive for Covid-19 as a pariah and either deny them coverage or force them onto worthless plans where they pay a fortune for "coverage" that covers nothing. Most of the Americans I know are ordinary people with limited resources, who have to worry about their health and finances all the time in a way that I don't need to, even though I am no wealthier then they are.
@kirby waite They have always done it and they continue to do so... Doesn't matter what 'reforms' or legislation is passed, this is how it is handled in the USA by most hospitals.

You want some more references? Or is this TLDR already for you?
I have mitigated on part of my Elder's care and you have to watch the Medical community like a hawk and be ready to pounce on them like a Tiger! Otherwise they will stall, balk, cut corners, cheat, steal, etc... and provide substandard care. With so many elders left to their fate in nursing homes or with a spouse who is also elderly and cannot understand the 'game' hospitals and medical centers play, they are easy prey. And yes, the Medical profession is quite predatory in the USA. They 'thin the herd' and always go for the easiest of prey and leave the ones who can defend themselves or are defended by strong family members alone and with proper care.
I sure do not want to get old in the USA under the current standards. Thankfully my elders (grandparents in this case) passed peacefully after living full lives and receiving satisfactory and above care from the places they were ultimately in, but only because of my and other family members interventions... Without it they would have suffered terribly. Glad they were not here to see what has become of the USA now. It would have filled them with fear and disgust, even with their medical conditions.
Thank you again John. I feel you are my friend. You are a friendly man. And kind to share your experience with us. Everyone has an opinion,. I listen to experience. Yours makes me feel i can comfortably see this pandemic rather clearly and truthfully. Thank you . good job again. See you tomorrow.
I started showing symptoms 7/2 which became worse over the course of the weekend. Headache, body aches, chills, but no fever.
As of Monday I felt like I was recovering, headache, body aches and chills moslty gone, then at the end of the week it moved to my lungs. The doctors in Texas (via video visit) are prescribing Antibiotics to forestall any bacterial infections as the lungs were affected and Albuteral inhalers for those of us who seem to be heading to recovery at home. After using the inhaler for a couple of days my breathing was greatly improved. (my oxygen level never went below 97). My husband who had a much lower oxygen leven was given oral steroids and was greatly helped with that in addition to the inhaler. I feel our Texas doctors have a good handle on this probability of secondary bacterial infection. I am on day 31 and must say still feel effects of this disease. But have been taking D3, Vit C, Zinc, Elderberry extract and a mushroom complex since March and believe that fortification was the reason I was able to recover at home and not develop really severe symptons. This virus seems to hang on with small bits of recovery felt every day.
D-3 + Zinc then Cysteine and Theanine▬Vit-c does not do much for this

Excellent video on sepsis. Thank you for all this info and awareness.
I can't tell you how grateful I am to have stumbled upon this video, & how glad I am you're making them. I nearly died after being turned away from an ER here in Los Angeles last month. My sisters (both nurses) had pleaded with me (via text message, from the East Coast) to GO to the ER on June 2nd, because they suspected my body was going into sepsis. But not only did the E.R. doctor at refuse to admit me, OR test me for Covid-19, but when I grew upset, she CALLED SECURITY on me (and I was hooked up to an IV at the time, laying on my back in a hospital gown, and at 5 foot two, hardly a threat). I was sent home, and the next day, when I couldn't even answer my phone due to weakness/fatigue, my best friend showed up at my apt and made me go to another doctor that afternoon. Turns out my blood pressure had dropped from 130 to 80, and I was already in septic shock. I wound up in the ICU.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting this valuable knowledge out to us all.

My husband died of bile duct cancer. He had a "drain" to help regulate his biliruben levels but it did not function very well. Your body doesn't like have tubes/drains installed in your abdomen. In the end he died of sepsis. I took him to the emergency room at 5:00 AM after a night in which he could not urinate. His temperature was very low and they treated him for that and then he was in ICU. It was a fast progression until his passing a 7:00 PM the same day. I think sepsis and pnuemonia has been the story of the world. Quick finish. VERY VERY unfortanate that a previously healthy person goes ths route with Covid-19.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world. 💛

Thank you for timely message. My father in law is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. Not covid related, but this gave us important information about his treatment and hopefully we can save his life!
All the best to you and your family. May your father recover 100% healthy!
Did your father survive? My father have sepsis after Covid.

I love how you give us the bottom line at the beginning for us non medical plebs. Thank you!
That flu you had John that made you feel so ill. I had it in 1971 at 21. 3 weeks of being in bed unable to lift my head off the pillow. My Dad thought I was going to die. I wanted to because I felt so ill. The Dr came every day. Mind you not as ill as I was after a flu jab I got in 1972 pushed by my employer. I was semi conscious for five days and it took a further 3 weeks to recover. One of the Drs at our work clinic told me on the qt not to have any flu injections and gave me a written advice sheet on diet vitamins minerals and herbs. I have never had a flu jab since. I did catch swine flu in 2009 7 days in hospital 5 on oxygen and 2 weeks to recover. Symptoms very dry cough, raging sore throat, high tempersture and breathing difficulties. Nothing since thank goidness. Taking d3/k2 zinc quercetin vit c and garlic and high strength cod liver oil.
So timely. I work in mental health & an email went round yesterday Re sepsis. I’m very aware of how serious COVID is...but even I thought seriously? I could find headlines saying that up to 75% of hospitalised covid pts could develop sepsis in next year...but no research or rationale for why this was being said.
Thanks as usual Dr. C. for rounding up the data so we can understand what we’re dealing with...
God bless, I worked for 3 1/2 years at a state mental health facility, I hated it especially if we were trying to quarantine sick clients from the rest of the clients in the acute unit I usually worked in.
I just seen a TikTok video with a brother, explaining how his sister became sick. She passed out, her son called an ambulance and when she got to the hospital. They found out that she had Covid and sepsis so straightaway. I went onto TH-cam to look up Covid and sepsis, and you were the first video that came up. Thank you Dr for doing this video so early on I have learnt so much just in the small video of yours thank you
This video should be required watching for everyone over age 12, so that the covidiots wake up.. with some clips of people in hospital or struggling at home.!!!
Unless the algorithms mess with truth videos again
Wow, I had covid got over it , got long covid then got sepsis a year later. We couldn't figure out where it came from. This piece was like a lightbulb going off. Thank you
Also low blood pressure (half the normal) also another sign of sepsis? Gray lips, mild body rash?
My son is now one year out of the ICU with sepsis from parainfluenza3. I just keep praying he'll be a part of that 50% that gets better completely. He has so many of the long term effects still. We watch him very closely, obviously. He's still with high blood pressure from kidney damage from being on life support (ECMO). But God willing he'll just keep getting better. I just didn't realize all the things that can come from it. Thank you for covering this.
The body can do miraculous thing when it come to healing itself. May your son return to full health. 👍💕
Sepsis is sneaky in that the patient is in bad shape rapidly. You almost need to suspect it before it happens.
Not everyone is in hospital when it starts though, so the experience of staff is not relevant
Christine P but if a person presents to an urgent care centre then I can guarantee that we will be on the lookout for. As a personal anecdote, I qualified as a very mature registered nurse in 2006. I’d been registered for about 4 months when my mother became unwell. I was on one end of the telephone and my mother at the other. She’d been unwell and was waiting for the out of hours GP, she was diabetic and the only thing that I could think that could be tested was her blood sugar. This was elevated, not dangerously but enough to cause me concern. I suggested that an ambulance be called based on one number. My mother was taken into A&E with low blood pressure. I saw her the next day in the ED. Later that same evening she was taken into ITU with dropping blood pressure and put on noradrenaline and other fluids. The day after that I was old that I should get to the hospital. That afternoon the life support was switched off and my mother died, 48 hours after being taken ill.
True. My sister nearly died from it. Her symptoms were a few chills and some dizziness, a couple of hours later she was passing out and riding on an ambulance, was in ICU for a week.
@@MRCAGR1 i'm so sorry you and she experienced that... My gma too almost died from sepsis due to aspiration pneumonia 4 years ago.. she was pumped with noradrenaline to keep her heart pumping and organs perfused...I stayed by her side for 3 days with little sleep to make sure she heard me and that it didn't bottom out... Diastolic would stat in the low 20s..I found my faith again at that moment because she was my second mom and probably my first close friend... She's alive today, albeit a different state of mind, but I love her more than she could know and fight for her to have quality of life now at 86
I had a burst stomach ulcer but didn’t realise I thought I just had stomach ache stayed at home in pain for 2 days all the time my stomach contents where flowing around my body poisoning every part of me that sent me into septic shock , 10 days later I walked out of hospital and recovered 100% I was very lucky and very grateful to the NHS , that was 2 yrs ago am I a higher risk to covid ?
My mother was infected by hpiv( human parainfluenza virus) with type 2 respiratory failure with sepsis shock put on ventilator for about 8 days and now sleep with the aid of bipap machine, sepis is very bad condition
@immorton joe Resmed lumis 100 vpap
@immorton joe Resmed is about rs. 60 thousand in Indian rupees and we rented earlier for about 2 months but now purchased others machine from Phillips also available but expensive and in this pandemic bipap and oxygen concentrator are already overpriced
@immorton joe it is covered by central government health scheme for government employees but the hospital s which comes under this scheme didn't treat my mother due to greed .In this scheme hospital give treatment to retired employees on subsidised rate which are far less than their normal rate. The total cost was borne by us from our own pocket which is equivalent to 1 year salary of mine around 1000000 rs. Also health sector in India is totally run on greed
My GMA has to use this too, but because of dementia-caused psychosis and refusal to use the machine when at home at night, she often stats low in oxygen overnight if lying down prostrate. So, she prefers to sleep sitting up
@sanjay kumar that’s so sad to hear your story, so fortunate that you could afford the breathing machine. Wishing you and your family all the best. Stay safe and well 😷🌞
Thanks for this info. Didn’t know this about COVID 19. I hope people take care.
Several viruses/bacteria can cause this.
I had these symptoms in February and I felt lucky to survive; I actually was surprised I didn't die. February was early days in this virus and we've learned alot since then.Thanks to Dr Campbell I learn more every day; thank the heavens he's done this channel. I've had other strange infections since and I'm very careful about who and how I associate with people. I believe my immune system is indeed compromised and I'm working on trying to strengthen it.
Vitamin D reduces sepsis
Summary of Sepsis and Vitamin D
Sepsis more likely in those with poor immune systems
Infants, elderly, sick, those with low vitamin D
Severe Sepsis has been associated with low vitamin D in many studies
Vitamin D treats Sepsis (RCT- 2015, below)
Reduced: ICU by 8 days, Hospital stay by 7 days, and readmission rate to 0%
Many studies have found that a high level of Vitamin D also prevents Sepsis
VitaminDWiki recommendations for Vitamin D treatment of Sepsis in ICU
Fortify the immune system as fast as possible ( Vitamin D Loading dose = Stoss dose = Bolus dose )
Vitamin D levels can be raised very quickly
However, Injection into muscle may provide better response than a tube down the throat
Speedup the restoration of Vitamin D with sublingual or topical vitamin D
Follow loading dose with maintenance doses of vitamin D - probably 50,000 IU weekly
Note: Many studies incorrectly used no maintenance dosing, just loading dose
Consider reducing Sepsis even more by adding: Omega-3 Magnesium Glutamine

Ese Callum you are correct about there is no money in it. Medical practice in the US is driven by money, Big Pharma too!
@@esecallum Too true. Same reason why a treatment like convalescent plasma, which has been shown to be effective, hasn't been run with in a bigger way here in US. Because it is a simple straight forward treatment that doesn't require an expensive new medication that generates profits. Similar story with Point of Care virus testing. These tests are available now, pretty cheap and actually quite accurate. So why are they not being talked about and used in US? Because there's not good money to be made.
S. E. P. S. I. S - Memorised, Dr John. Very scary!!!!
dun dun dun
Thank you John, very educational. Take care mate 😷👍
Yes. This is why my doc said it is most important to take my emergency Z-pak immediately if I develop a fever. She said that intubation is the worst thing to do - the name of the game is treating as quickly as possible to avoid intubation due to the risk of sepsis. I could offer more information given to me but I do not want this to turn into a political ideology campaign string of unhelpful comments. My ailment - cavitating lymph node syndrome secondary to celiacs disease. Incredibly rare to have been diagnosed at my age. Most people do not realize they have and is normally discovered after death. It is a silent killer and kills off the spleen. The spleen is needed to fight off infections. So there is this whole vaccine protocol one has to follow to keep asplenic patients safe from sepsis.
Where do you buy the z pak
@@sexyredapple1999 where are you located ? Usually you cannot buy z pack without prescription. Ask your doc to prescribe it . In many parts of the world runs as Azytromicin ..search google
@@Lolipop59 Sorry, I posted something to you that was meant for someone else. My apologies. I am tired of having to justify why I have masks and a single z-pak. All in my emergency pack since before COVID hit. They should make these available to everyone. The government should get out of the way. :(
@@Lolipop59 thank you. Florida
DO NOT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS FOR A VIRUS... you are causing gut injury to your immune system. If your doctor told you to take ZPak for Covid19, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. Antibiotics punch holes in your gut... leaky gut and causes sepsis.
Lost my mother to sepsis last year. Fought for 60 days in intensive care. Terrible and extremely serious condition. Wish I had known about it much earlier.

Must have been a terrible experience for all the family, my mother died after a 14 day struggle in Intensive Care a few years ago. To watch someone you love suffer this way is very distressing. Hold onto the good memories as she would wish for you to be happy and healthy 💕
I had sepsis November 2021and I had covid... My husband found me and saved my life along with the doctors.
Thank you for your continued updates on COVID-19 virus ,your videos are the only ones i watch on COVID-19.. :)
I came close to dying of sepsis about 20 years ago from an undiagnosed kidney infection ( I went to the doctor and urologist and neither caught it) . It’s a long story but anyway I can attest to the long term effects. My digestive system has never been the same. I have major issues with many foods although testing says I am not allergic. Inflammation, rashes, swelling, reflux, diarrhea etc. I had to pretty much figure out on my own what I can eat and can’t as well as how much, with what other foods etc. I’ve learned to live with it, I still have mild symptoms when I cheat and eat something I really like, but most of the time I stick with it. Chronic illness is no joke and it is chilling to think what COVID survivors maybe saddled with for the rest of their lives.
I have not felt good since Feb 28, back to the Dr and given another script of antibiotics( 1st was in March) second script was stopped no bacteria with symptoms still. I feel it’s a dollar short and a nickel late.. seems like my body has been fighting a war shortly after my grand baby was born in a hospital where shortly after I , my daughter and her hubby were ill. But maybe it’s a war that won’t be won by my 60 year old body although it’s fighting ..
Debra Lounder , sorry to hear about your struggle, really hope you and your family get you health back. Hang in there, that grand baby needs you!
@vaunnie thayer Sorry to hear that neither of your providers picked up on your ailment. As I posted above I've worked as a nurse for 30 years and seen things get missed. It's frustrating and maddening as a healthcare worker to see this. The level of care, especially in ER's, Urgent Cares, etc, first contacts for many patients, needs to be improved. Many providers are poor listeners, talk over patients, or are in too much of a hurry. Several times I've had to go to ER with one or other of my parents. Being a nurse I know what questions to ask and can advocate for my parents.Unfortunately most people don't have this.
One of the problems with kidney damage is that many people already have kidney damage but because their kidneys are still functional, don't know that they are. Many people think that dairy is a good source of calcium. And whereas it is, it is high in protein, the body responds to digestion of dairy like it does with meat. So whether it is any animal protein or fish or seafood, the body chugs out a lot of acid to break down the protein. In order not to have so much acid go into the next stage of digestion, the small intestine, before leaving the stomach, the amount of acid needs to be neutralized enough to go on. So calcium does the job as does Tums which are made of calcium. So are you really getting as much calcium as you think? Not really. When there is not enough calcium to neutralize the acid, it has to come from somewhere, doesn't it. As we see a lot of osteoporosis in the elderly in what are known as the "Dairy" countries we see a relationship between bone loss and the consumption of a lot of dairy and meat.
But what then is happening to the calcium? It has to exit the body via the kidneys. This excess calcium which is being peed out, irritates both the kidneys and bladder. As women get urinary tract infections far more than men, when women go vegan, these infections stop. Why would that be the case? Calcium is not being peed out, not irritating the bladder or kidneys and kidney health stabilizes, more stones are not created. I am not sure if existing stones become smaller on a vegan diet. But plant proteins do not require a heavy acid load and kidney health is improved.
People who go on a plant-based diet in many ways, my husband and I went on a vegan diet following his cancer. I mostly eating well, but when I really studied the plant-based diet and how it improves health and helps the body heal, I convinced my husband that it would suppress the growth of cancer cells the surgery from his Prostate Cancer missed. They will have missed some, even with robotic surgery, which he had.
Going on 4 years, he is cancer free. As my mother and sister both died of breast cancer and I have not developed it, shows how powerfully the diet is in suppressing cancer. It is good for reversing osteoporosis when such super foods like kale are regularly eaten as well as other greens.
Now if people want to be able to survive Covid-19, weaning off of dairy and eating less meat would mean they would be able to survive better. The plant-based low-oil diet, reduces cholesterol, reduce arterial plaques, lowers blood pressure and improves lung function. My husband and I found complete remission in lifelong asthma, my husband daily used his pump but also every evening used a nebulizer and he no longer has asthma as noted my his physician as the sounds of the asthmatic rattle due to phlegm obstruction, are gone. Phlegm is thinner and does not clog us up and we have not had a single cold since going vegan. Other vegans comment on this that I've talked to, so share similar benefits.
I've recovered from arthritis as dairy proteins are not causing inflammation of my joints or my bronchial tubes.
The question is for most people what they'd have to give up. I have given up the high risk of cancer and heart disease and stroke, or dementia as my father died with Alzheimer's disease. He had high cholesterol and clogged arteries, wasn't getting good blood to the brain. I am not going to miss seeing my grandchildren or in that I'll see them but not remember them. My father showed signs of this from age 60, I am 67 now and am savvy still. He died at age 84 but the last 14 years, he didn't even recognize me, actually proposed marriage to me in from of my mother when she was going in for her mastectomy. I am going to miss that.
Are the things I am missing more important to me than a flavor I will miss? Absolutely not. My tastebuds have readjusted and we both find it so. We enjoy our food and we enjoy our life.
And when my husband has had his cataracts fixed, he healed rapidly. He looks so much younger than others his same age as do I. We lost fifty pounds without hunger.
How much do you love your life? That is the question. Yes, you can get Covid-19 with being a vegan but you will survive better. As who knows when they will get the vaccine for it. Be safe, improve your health doing what doctors can't do, fix problems like diabetes, they can only "manage them". I was pre-diabetic, my A1C is 4.6 which is in the ideal range. I do not have to take any drugs. My blood pressure is fine as is my cholesterol.
I was addicted like everyone else as was my husband, to cheese and dairy and meats. But if you want to live and be healthy, your will to do so can overcome this. There are loads of was to go Plant-Based. You have to listen to the right people. Try Dr. Neal Barnard to start.
courag1 , thank you for this information, have always loved dairy products but recently had a gallbladder attack and suspect dairy is the primary culprit.
Blessings on your inspirational post
What about oxalates from veggies liek spinach?
Thanks for the scary info...but could you please comment possible treatments? 😟
Sounds like the cost of treating post Covid people may be huge for the NHS.
No not free. High taxes pay for it. In the USA, where I do not live but my sister and family do, you can pay for health insurance and the yearly cost is less than what we pay through taxes in Canada. Plus they don't have lineups as we do yet they have some of the top specialists in the world.
It is paid for through the wage slip automatically.
Cha 211 Everyone pays national insurance contributions, self employed people too, and employers also pay in, mostly with PAYE(pay as you earn), some self employed will pay on a different basis, maybe annually. Or make ongoing contributions. If you are on sick leave, unemployment benefits, or long term disabled your contributions are credited. No one used to be left behind, it was a universal right for all, more recently this basis has been slightly eroded. It is not perfect, but at its best the NHS is a marvellous system. I was four and a half months in hospital with recurrent sepsis, the tenacity of my doctors and the wonderful card I got ensured I am here to write this, in many places I would have died. I have had three hospitalisation since and had excellent care each time. I am starting to feel better than I did, the aftermath of sepsis is not fun, you think you are over it and can get back to normal easily but if you have PSS as I know I do, then your life will be changed. Any existing long term condition will be worsened not necessarily in predictable ways. Maybe this is the crossover with Covid, because if you have moderate to severe sepsis there is little chance your vascular system will go unscathed. GP’s in particular should have more awareness training of it and know to monitor survivors better. I fully expect this to be the case with Covid-19 survivors too. Good awareness all round is the key to better survival.

I had COVID-19 in mid-October last year and developed sepsis. My heart stopped and my lungs collapsed (according to the Critical Care nurse who saw me prior to my discharge). I'm really worried about what's coming in the future regarding my health but at least I now have some more answers than I had before. Thank you for the links and information.
I was this sick once with influenza. I was in bed and did not - could not- move, not a twitch for 6-8 hours at my worst. Not to drink, pee, stretch, change position, anything. I couldn't talk or call out to my family for help. It was very scary and I thought I was going to die. I thought this was the flu. Thankfully I obviously recovered. My thought with those this sick right now 🙏

Data from the USA suggest that the majority of new cases are now in the 20-40 year age range and created by behaviours rather than changes in the virus. The implications of this are staggering long term when combined with the sepsis effects.
Alexander Van Burk , sorry but your categorical statement that Ivermectin stops the virus is fake news. It might, and research is ongoing to determine that. Meanwhile, in describing why the US FDA does not allow its use in humans for that purpose, they describe a long list of known adverse reactions.
@Alexander Van Burk , I am certainly aware of this paper. What it says is that when coronavirus virus particles are combined with ivermectin IN VITRO, the virus particles die. In vitro means, literally, in glass. Believe me, it would be a wonderful world if everything that worked in vitro worked in animals. Sadly, that is far from true. The FDA cites many potentially serious side effects that could hurt people. The next step, which I believe is ongoing, is to test the effectiveness of Ivermectin on a coronavirus infection in animals whose immune systems are similar to humans. Since Ivermectin is already used on animals for other reasons, this test is ethical. Given that humans might be harmed by Ivermectin, it would not be ethical to test it on humans until there is a high chance that the benefits would outweigh the known risks.
My complaint here was not that Ivermectin might be useful in the future. It was the blanket statement that it had ALREADY been proven to save lives. I know that we are all eager to see this awful disease mitigated and hopefully then vanquished. Still, jumping the gun can sometimes do more damage than good.
I am not an expert on any of this, but I try to listen to people who are. If, hopefully when, success has been proven, I will celebrate with you.
@McDonalds Farmer , thanks for the heads-up. I had not noticed that Van Burk had replied. He deserved an answer and I just tried to give him one.
Alexander Van Burk , the article I was responding to had In Vitro in the title. This reference here is to a different article, an article that references the in vitro article. This new article is a research preprint, not a journal article. There is a disclaimer at the beginning that says that articles like this are not yet peer reviewed and should NOT be used to guide clinical practice. I said that Ivermectin was being seriously evaluated, but the results were not in yet. I said that I was not an expert. I think that I have said enough on this. I hope you can find someone at your level of expertise to debate this with you.
Dr. Campbell, very valuable information for those unaware.. Sepsis is no joke! My now 73 y/o husband almost died from Sepsis in 2013 two months after a Nephrectomy, in ICU/hospital 3 weeks. Since then, his other kidney has worsened to stage 4 ckd, is hospitalized about every 6 weeks for infections since 2013, cognitive impairment. Mid June 2020. I found him unresponsive in his recliner, called 911, in sepsis again, acute kidney failure, there was no warning night before. He is still alive somehow.
Please, Dr John, could you review the clinical trials of using intravenous vit C for treating sepsis in critical care units over the last 5 years? I attended a presentation in NZ several years ago by 2 US doctors involved in clinical trials. They were using up to 100gm IV vit C with no negative effects, and the mortality rate was more than halved. Many clinical trials have used tiny doses and then claimed ambiguous results, of course, because for sepsis, the body churns thru huge amounts of vit C to fight infection. I'd love a review on any recent clinical publications, in the hope of saving lives from sepsis. Thank you Dr Campbell. I try to listen every day, to your reviews, and learn every time! Thanks for your huge commitment of time to our ongoing informed response to this pandemic. I'm very, very grateful! From NZ.
I survived sepsis in April 2023. I’m only 47 now, so 46 at the time. I spent 15days in hospital and 6 days in ICU. I was then back in hospital in July 2023. Two major surgeries, both with extreme complications and now I’m existing, but my body and mind are so damaged that i just don’t know if I can ever live ‘normally’ again!? It’s terrifying and devastating and I feel so lost. Thank you for understanding how complex and long lasting the effects and hangover of this is. I try to live in hope, but it feels all consuming sometimes.
How are you feeling now?
Vitamin C by IV stops sepsis.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. Hope you are taking care of yourself.
Thanks, you too!
I for one love the scientific videos such as this, antibodies and t cell response, vitamin d etc etc so please keep them coming! Knowledge is power in terms of defending ourselves from the ill effects of this virus. I have been on vitamin d supplements since mid march after having an illness covid typical (but who can know) at the last week of February until late march early April. As a (mild) asthma sufferer and someone whos battled depression for years it would seem I would be in the at risk category for Vit D deficiency so have been on the case and thanks for the advice on it!
Not only for Covid 19- he is arming us with information, that will be terribly useful, as we come across other medical challenges👏
Vitamin D reduces sepsis
Summary of Sepsis and Vitamin D
Sepsis more likely in those with poor immune systems
Infants, elderly, sick, those with low vitamin D
Severe Sepsis has been associated with low vitamin D in many studies
Vitamin D treats Sepsis (RCT- 2015, below)
Reduced: ICU by 8 days, Hospital stay by 7 days, and readmission rate to 0%
Many studies have found that a high level of Vitamin D also prevents Sepsis
VitaminDWiki recommendations for Vitamin D treatment of Sepsis in ICU
Fortify the immune system as fast as possible ( Vitamin D Loading dose = Stoss dose = Bolus dose )
Vitamin D levels can be raised very quickly
However, Injection into muscle may provide better response than a tube down the throat
Speedup the restoration of Vitamin D with sublingual or topical vitamin D
Follow loading dose with maintenance doses of vitamin D - probably 50,000 IU weekly
Note: Many studies incorrectly used no maintenance dosing, just loading dose
Consider reducing Sepsis even more by adding: Omega-3 Magnesium Glutamine

Personal note by the founder of VitaminDWiki
My 103 year old father-in-law, who got a lot of vitamin D and Omega-3 , was thought to have sepsis.
Doctors gave up on the sepsis diagnosis after his symptoms went away in a day or so.
Sepsis death 1.9 X higher risk is
Thank you for another informative podcast. Sepsis is indeed a problem. I hear the word sepsis more and more, and have asked myself pre covid is it on the increase? My sister law died in hospital of sepsis, and her family were devasted as it was sudden and not expected. Family members had a lot of anger around her death. This is a condition that can happen to anyone young and old, vigilence is required. I have learned that any kind of infection is dangerous and can get out of hand. Treat infection immediately and know how your body reacts to it. Awareness is everything, and can save lives.
Sepsis is usually associated with a bacterial infection. A cytokine storm associated with a viral infection. It used to be based on Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome , temperature above 38 degrees, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing and blood glucose elevated even in non diabetics. This has now changed and is stratified depending on signs and symptoms. It also varies according to age. What has been taken out of the equation is a raised temperature, a low temperature is more significant. NICE have a risk assessment tool based on signs and symptoms that is recommended in pre hospital settings. There’s an equivalent set for in hospital settings with treatment strategies. A tachycardia of >130, respiration rate >25, a systolic BP
Thanks doctor for your efforts to educate the populace by explaining complex topics in simple language.
I am a UK based GP whose mum is a nurse and your care and compassion for others comes through. I have shared your videos with others as well. Keep up the good work.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Dr John, a man of 42 in a small town near mine ha finally come back and from the hospital after getting the virus 3 months ago. He is not able to walk and he has lost 22 kg, he a, lean figure before the virus. Now he looks anorexic...
All those defiant Aussies need to watch this one
.
My 43 year old good buddy died of sepsis in March, no funeral
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost a friend of mine a couple of years ago. She contracted the flu, hospitalised a few days later, suffered a cytokine storm, triggered septic shock and died from multiple organ failure. It was the speed between hospitalisation and death what struck me. I will always remember the staff who were treating her at the time saying "there is nothing we can do, her own body is killing her." She was 42.
This virus is a nightmare!!!
Absolutely
Yes. It seems to be much more than just a respiratory virus. It just does so much damage.
Yes 🥺
Causes so much damage not even flextape can fix it. We're out of options.
Not a nightmare. It's barely a blip on the radar of what its like to live. Its literally fear mongering and its impeding the quality of life of billions in the name of saving lives. At what point is life not worth living? Are we not more than just mere organisms? Does freedom not matter anymore? It's time to let this go before life becomes unlivable. Its not the virus that we need to worry about anymore. Its our response.
I had sepsis two yrs ago it’s the worst you literally feel like you’ve been hit by a bus it’s the strangest worst thing I’ve ever experienced it occurred because I had a burst stomach ulcer and didn’t realise I just thought I had stomach ache I left it for 2 days all the time my stomach contents where flowing around my body infecting every part of me , I had an operation and ten days in hospital and made a 100% recovery , very very lucky very very grateful thankyou NHS
The 2020 cocktail, Covid-19 with a chaser of Sepsis. Anyone still think face masks, hand washing, and social distancing not really needed? Thank you again Dr. Campbell for another excellent video.
Only if you and the others are isolated from the rest of the world.
And I would still recommend hand washing.
@@SW-ii5gg Is it your ignorance showing or are you miss reading my comment? I am saying that everyone should be using face masks, hand washing and social distancing. There is no question about it anymore if there ever was. The chance that getting COVID-19 or spreading it to others could lead to long term health issues due to Covid or Sepsis make it imperative that we do everything possible to slow down or stop the spread.
So grateful for your presentation on sepsis.
So severe covid 19 survivors are still at risk of more complications and/or death 2 years down the line. Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.
That’s what I was trying to understand... it is a nightmare.... are we doomed?
Watched this before going to bed in Bangkok 24 hours later..I still don't know you get all this information out but very happy you do
Thank you again Dr J as always very informative. Greetings from a very peaceful Denmark where nothing much is going on, and COVID-19 is hardly mentioned any longer. Just recommending ppl wearing masks in public transportation, and so ofc we do. Final fase of our opening next week, meaning that there will be hundreds or even thousands gathered in concerts and so on. To me it seems like tempting the virus to return. I really do not comply in that kind of gatherings. We are so spoiled 🙄
You guys are doing something right Collectively. :)
Now, if much of the rest of the world would follow suit it'd be great.
Beautiful post thanking you from Cleveland Ohio's east side. Peace🌿
My neighbourland. The large gatherings are really unwise. It is so easy to predict a disaster. Bedides it is just common sense to avoid concerts during a pandemic. Scientist in Denmark must be against this I assume. Enjoy the tranquility in my Beautiful neighbourland.
Thank you Sir for your excellent videos.
I wonder if this is related to the "post viral fatigue".
Of course !
yes if you are in one of severe cases
Dr John Campbell...thank you and truly appreciated. Greetings From Malaysia
The news to keep an eye on key lab values it paramount.
Very impressive… you should look very deep.. VERY DEEP into this… you were on the right track here… look up the abstracts on the co-infections
wow i get all those symptoms every day as i have severe emphysema, hypertension, diabetes and hyperthyroidism, i wont know if i ever have Sepsis then until its too late
Think positive and bless your good health.
