I-MASS: Prevention & At Home Treatment Mass Distribution Protocol for COVID-19

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -

The FLCCC I-MASS Protocol was created for generalized distribution during mass outbreaks and in low-resource countries. To achieve maximal impact as well as ease of deployment with the lowest burden of required elements, the I-MASS treatment approach is centered on the fewest, core, high impact elements such as the drug Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine that is on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, has been given 3.7 billion times around the globe, and has won the Nobel prize in 2015 for its global and historic impacts in eradicating endemic parasitic infections in many parts of the world.

Ivermectin has proven to be highly potent against COVID-19. It has shown antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties in observational and randomized controlled studies conducted throughout the world. Practitioners and Health Ministries who have adopted Ivermectin in treatment protocols report significant reductions in time to recovery, hospitalizations, and death. The use of Ivermectin as prophylaxis and prevention has also been proven in studies to reduce the spread of infection and offer protection to high-risk individuals.

Also included in the protocol are Vitamin D3, Melatonin, Aspirin, a multivitamin, a thermometer, and an antiseptic mouthwash.

10 Best Cosmeceutical Ingredients of 2024

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -

A cosmeceutical is essentially a skincare product that contains a biologically active compound that is thought to have pharmaceutical effects on the skin. Both pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical grade skin care products actively effect skin at a cellular level, whereas cosmetic products have a shorter-term effect. They are usually used by doctors to restore pH, remove pigmentation, or restore the skin barrier. Cosmeceuticals must scientifically verify the claims stated on their packaging; as it is accepted that these formulations are backed by science, clinical studies, and rigorous testing.

Exosomes, neurocosmetics, and supercharged actives are the most innovative — and sometimes the most controversial — skin-care trends poised to revolutionize beauty in the next few years. We pored over the data and talked with experts to give you a snapshot of the top skin-care trends of 2024. Regenerative medicine will inspire your skin care. This year skin care won’t focus solely on addressing the signs of aging; it’s going to try to make cells behave younger, says Steven Cohen , MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego.
