Empirical evidence for this hypothesis was confirmed in this follow-up report.
Low oxygen saturation (hypoxemia) is a hallmark of the COVID era. One way to get hypoxemia is by pneumonia preventing the oxygenation of the alveoli (blood-lung interface). But as described here, ER physicians complained that early COVID patients often got hypoxemia without pneumonia.
Other ways to get hypoxemia would be the immune system attacking infected lung tissue, or microclots preventing the transfer of oxygen to the blood. But one hypothesis, not yet explored, is the creation of hypoxemia via electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
In stroke victims, electromagnetic radiation can raise nitrate/nitrate by 30%.
EMFs raise nitrate/nitrite levels by increasing production and release of nitric oxide (NO). But increases in nitrite (NO2) can oxidize hemoglobin (Hb), turning it into methemoglobin (MetHb) — a molecule which no longer delivers oxygen to tissues like it was supposed to:
Because the NO effect is magnified during infection, hitting people with EMFs after they get exposed to an infective agent, you can create mass hypoxemia which only would respond to treatments like the triple combination of methylene blue, vitamin C, and N-acetylcysteine.
It’s difficult to explain why Navy ships sat idle off the coast of California and New York during the first wave of COVID, but one aspect of Navy ships is potentially important:
Those ships set up for battle now carry the strongest electromagnetic weapons.
