Dr. Horvitz, this is by far the best newsletter I have received from you! I have learned that it is important to listen to all sides of any issue and then decide for myself what is right. Sadly, there are too many others who will not listen to anything other than their narrative. But that is their problem!

Always asking questions has lead me to a second surgeon's opinion on my heart condition. I thank you always for your help as a person and doctor. Doing something you are unsure of is very stressful. Thank you for peace of mind and body, when the rest of the planet is in chaos!

Hear, hear, Dr. H.!! We are surrounded by family members who are so entrenched in fear that they disinvited our branch of the family tree from a reunion because we are not "vaccinated." The reasoning given is that we are the vulnerable ones since they are protected but are still spreading the virus as "asymptomatic carriers". Unless Dr. Fauci declares us as "safe to be around," we are not welcome in the fold. We are early-case (January 2020) natural covid survivors, recovering solely at home with no medical interventions. We have no comorbidities, take no meds, and are in our 70s. We've been exposed multiple times since our recovery and have not been reinfected. Now there's a case study for the powers that be!

I never watch television, haven’t for many, many years. This morning I had to take my husband for a medical procedure and so was subject to the blaring big screen in the waiting room. It was 6:00 AM and I felt assaulted by the both the news and the commercials. Both horrific. A steady diet of that kind of thing might be on par for your mental well being with a high carb/processed food diet for your physical well being.

The Balsamic Vinegar sounds great, I never saw Smoked Balsamic, will have to try..I like to make a Mozzarella Cheese Platter with Pesto sauce for dipping on the side, fresh Basil Leaves sprinkled throughout and when in season , Jersey Tomatoes.....then drizzle the platter with a Balsamic Vinegar...

I agree with you 1000%!!!! So tired of people who are blindly following the “experts” who change their message to fit the narrative…I have many family and friends who I consider SHEEPEOPLE. Sad….🥺
