I’ll be grateful for whatever content you produce on whatever timeline is required to dig as deeply as you do.

I’d settle for a lot less content if in exchange you’d make a good faith effort to get proper sleep.

Please be kind to yourself.

Last winter I caught 3 separate cold/ flu illnesses probably from my granddaughter. The main illness would be gone in a few days but I would get sinusitis each time that lasted for weeks. It was so frustrating. I read about Xlear nasal spray and decided to try it for the sinusitis. It worked! Now I also use it occasionally as a preventative if I've been in crowded indoor places. So far haven't been sick since.

Your openness is appreciated. There isn't one model for what a Substack is or who a researcher is. Health and finding the time to recuperate and recover is important. Hard thinking takes a toll on the body that people don't often recognize until it's too late —academic burn out.

Ohhh Matthew, so sorry to hear about your health issues. 😢 Sounds like you have virus spike injuries. Hopefully, you're taking Ivermectin, NAC, bromelain, curcumin, zinc with copper- acts as an ionophore for the ivermectin. Dr Peter McCullough 's protocol. Dr Pierre Kory also treats virus spike sequelae. Look him up on his website. He takes new patients. I've referred a number of spike virus injured people to him. Probiotics are crucial as well. See Dr Sabine Hazen. Thank you for being a truth warrior. Please take care of your health first and foremost, above doing research and writing.

Thank you for the update, Mathew, and please prioritize your health as your unique, brilliant contributions depend on it.

I have always valued quality over quantity, and thankfully, my readers do, too, as some of my research-intensive pieces can take two, three, or four weeks or even longer (one I’m hoping to finish soon I started about a year and a half ago and have probably collected 1,500+ links for, only a fraction of which will make it into the final article).

In the interview David Josef Volodzko is conducting with me (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-margaret-anna), he notes:

“This is precisely why scientists should be as accurate as possible at all times, especially if their field is a highly politicized one.”

I agree with this sentiment completely as we are no better than the narrative-pushers if we sacrifice truth for a convenient story that supports our aims. The truth will always out, so if we don’t update our knowledge and positions to reflect reality, it will only hurt our cause in the long run.

Matthew please get better soon and I am always looking for more of your articles. I totally understand how circumstances may make it longer between the articles. I have also not been in perfect health mostly due to the broken foot and the inability to walk long distances. Always looking forward to any news from you

One man can’t save the world! But you can save yourself first, and then you’ll be much better use to the rest of us, so may I suggest you prioritise sleep. Sleep deprivation will trash your immune system and is ultimately fatal such that sleep deprivation experiments are banned. There’s no point lifting weights, eating well, meditating etc if you don’t prioritise sleep. No ‘buts’ ……. !

Hi, my experience is that tinnitus comes from any sort of energy deficiency. It could also be tied to more serious kidney function but that is also related to energy deficiency.

My experience with multiple bouts of health problems is that without sufficient sleep at the proper time (9pm to 2am golden hours) recovery is slow and sporadic. Diligently going to bed at 9-10 pm is what does it for me but often it is hard to sleep through and i simply have to persist until i regain enough energy to heal.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

I'm sure you're getting plenty of advice in the comments on your respiratory ailments. Here's mine (I'm not a doctor, so this is not "medical advice"). Food grade hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer works wonders on all respiratory infections, including covid. I've seen it work firsthand with family members and myself. It's somewhat harsh full strength, so I dilute it 1 or 2 ml. H2O2 to 2 1/2 ml. of saline solution (I buy 5 ml. ampules of saline for the convenience and use half at a time). Cheap, safe and effective. For more information about it search for what Drs. Mercola, Thomas Levy and David Brownstein have to say about it.

Also, keep your vitamin D3 level up. Even living in Texas, you should probably be taking 5,000 i.u. per day.

Thank you for every word that you write. When I see one of your articles in my inbox, I stop what I'm doing and read it.

Mathew, have you tried iodine/distilled water as a nasal rinse? Our nasal passages seem to have their own microbiome. Take care of yourself and I look forward to reading your future articles.
