This was an amazing video to take in! Ivermectin is low-cost, available on a global scale - and best of all - it has multiple randomized control trials showing favor on its use against COVID-19. It has been on the market since 1981, and it has shown effectiveness in both preventing COVID-19 infections and in clearing COVID-19 infections. Now doctors need to follow suit and study the data for themselves....

During the Thursday, January 21 press conference with statewide media, Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm stated with a high level of disappointment and even dejection that "there doesn't appear to have been a Christmas surge." Let that sink in for a moment. For nine-plus months, every time Malcolm is forced by reality to report good news, she sounds disappointed. This has happened over and over again, without exception. To me, it is as if a plan they have in place did not play out like they had hoped. I'll repeat myself:...

Vitamin D can influence all three innate immune effectors in the lungs and thus play an important role in how the lung recognizes and responds to pathogens. Activation of the innate immune system drives activation of the long term adaptive immune system.

A lost cat was discovered on Saturday afternoon, January 16, on the campus of the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa high school. During the wrestling match at the school, this cat was found near the entryway trying to get in the building. It's likely that the large amount of foot traffic in and out of that door on the northeast corner attracted the cat to hang around. As of Saturday night, the cat is safe and fed. If you know someone who has lost a cat fitting the following description, PLEASE send an...

It has not gone without struggle, but the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper is poised to survive the 2020 pandemic. This newspaper finished the year "very strong" with a few expansive newspapers plus almost all color issues from the September 17 issue through the December 31 issue. In fact, just one issue during that span did not have color ink included. We mostly kept it to a 10-page issue after September 17, which was an improvement from the spring and summer when we published a handful of very "lean" eight-page issues. We dipped down to eight...
In the video below, this doctor provides very succinct and valuable points on multiple tools that can be used to fight COVID-19.

A few things discussed in the video include: over-the-counter medications like vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc,...

Without the donations, we feel we have an excellent project. With them, we can do this at a level that the project budget would not allow. With...
