ABSTRACT: AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO CREATE COMMUNITY IMMUNITY AGAINST COVID-19

Christopher Henry Adams, 
Citizen Microbiologist 
03/03/2021

An effective way to create community immunity against COVID-19 requires a course of actions performed on a daily basis.  A controlled community or household could be defined as a number of people dwelling within a similar location.  Whereas, immunity could be defined as humans (organisms) resisting the infection of a virus by artificially sensitizing white blood cells through a non-mechanized process or practice regularly performed daily. This procedure envelops the process of decontamination phase 1, implementation of various hygiene methods (toilet hygiene, shower hygiene, hand, facial & teeth hygiene), decontamination phase 2, while strengthening the immune system with nourishment.  It further identifies the application of wearing masks, gloves, hats & other clothing when encountering the general public or someone outside the controlled community. This practice must be a collective effort established with regular COVID-19 testing to ensue the increase of negative test results within a managed assembly over a period of time.

The C. Henry Adams Notion & Fight Against COVID-19

Disclaimer:

This article does not identify a cure all for COVID-19.  BUT, everything safely applied helps...  A scientific notion was developed by Dr. William Kearse II & myself (C. Henry Adams) regarding the fight against COVID-19.

It's The Simple Things That Count

As a child growing up, I would often hear my father say, ' the most complex issues in life can be solve by what other people conceive as simple things.'  That being said, imagine there was a practical solution to some of the World's most pressing issues such as COVID-19.  Perhaps, we may not know an exact cure.

What if, one started the day regularly performing a task to slow or stop the spread of COVID-19 by bathing in a restroom a particular way?

How?


Decontaminate, Decontaminate, Decontaminate

a) Prepare by placing 1 tablespoon of bleach & 1 teaspoon of dish-washing detergent in a spray bottle filled with water. 

b) Then, spray door handles, sinks, showers, toilets (let set for at least 30 seconds) wiping down the items with a cloth regularly rinsed in water to decontaminate the area before bathing oneself. 

c)  Note, at the completion of bathing oneself whether this person ( is or is not ) infected with COVID-19 performing this task;  repeat the cleaning process.  

Why?   There is a chance of reducing the virus infected area regardless.

[  One important instance performed during the cleaning process.  ]



Simple Practice of Utilizing Mouthwash

What if the simple practice of utilizing mouthwash to a certain extent could save a life?

Well, it appears that COVID-19 attacks the human body via the olfactory nerve.   What!?   Basically, the nerve that connects to the nose.

SARS is the acronym for 'Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome'; in essence pneumonia.

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames or swells air sacs in one or both lungs; inflammation or inflammatory.


Anti-inflammatory Capabilities to Fight Infections

What if there was a natural substance that possess anti-inflammatory capabilities to fight infections?

This natural substance might be a type of eucalyptus oil.   Within the a mentioned, is a compound called, Eucalyptol.

Eucalyptol can be found in mouthwash (Cepacol & Listerine).  Really?   What is your experience or knowledge of these things?

While attending a microbiology class at Fisk University of Nashville, Tennessee USA in the early 1990s; I witness the significant effect of two types of mouthwash (Cepacol & Listerine) in a Laboratory Course given by a visiting Professor.

Let's fast forward 2020 & the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Made aware by the research of Scientists & Journalists writing content throughout various forms of media, periodicals & abstracts; a conclusion was drawn about the use of a substance found naturally.

This particular matter was a natural ingredient called, 'Eucalyptus or Eucalyptus oil'.   The ingredient Eucalyptol associated with this natural organism controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma via anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition.  It could be active against Gram-negative bacteria more than Gram-positive bacteria.

Gram-Negative Bacteria

COVID-19 is a virus not a bacteria.  But, bacteria that appears associated with COVID-19 infections are considered Gram-negative bacteria.

C. Henry Adams, what is your experience in life with Gram-positive bacteria?

Answer:   While attending Frederick Douglass High School of Atlanta, Ga in 1988, I won several awards performing a scientific project called, ' Determining DNase (Deoxyribonuclease) in ('Clostridia') Clostridium Difficile  '.

That being said, even though it has not been proven as a cure for the COVID-19 Pandemic, perhaps, mouthwash could help protect the olfactory nerve via the mouth from infection.

Perhaps, like washing your hands or wearing a mask, utilizing certain mouthwash as a tool could fight the infection of COVID-19.

Well, thanks for reading our blogs, we welcome your professional thoughts regarding this important Worldly matter at hand.

Building a Defense against COVID-19 or Corona Virus-2?

by C. Henry Adams


One night, a Hunter took his 6 yr old Son to the forest to teach him how to hunt utilizing the Sense of Smell. His son, an inquisitive child, listen intently & often repeated what he heard.  He armed his Son with nothing, but an orange flash light and gave him specific instructions to follow after briefing him before his 1st hunt.  Here is what was said;

Hunter:   Son, you have been asking me could you go hunting with myself since you were five years old and I told you to wait until you got older.  The reason I said wait, was because there are many variables to learn in becoming a good hunter.  Tonight, you will learn the variable regarding the Sense of Smell.

Son:  Dad, what are variables?

Hunter:   Let's just say things that could be changed or adapted.   Tonight, we are going to hunt for pole cats or either skunks.  The object of this hunt is not to kill, but search for an animal that possess a very bad smell in the dark. Understand, that somethings we seek in life are not always seen with the eyes, so you must learn to grasp details about them to find them.

Son:   Dad, what are details and how will I find a pole cat or either skunk?

Hunter:  Well, before I answer your question. Tell me who are we going to hunt, what did I give you to hunt with, when did we start this journey?   Why are we not going to kill this animal, where are pole cats or either skunks located?  How will you locate a pole cat or skunk in the dark without light?

As the two individuals walked up a hill along a trail in a star lit night with the Moon shining bright, here is what the young boy replied,

Son:  Dad, we are are going to hunt for a very bad smelling pole cat or either skunk with an orange flash light, and the hunt started when it got dark outside in the woods. We are not going to kill the animal, but learn to locate it using the variable called, 'Sense of Smell'. 

Hunter:  Son, details are individual features, facts, or items.  You now understand how to find a pole cat or either skunk by using the variable,  'Sense of Smell'.

Perhaps, identifying symptoms of the COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 requires one to know many variables regarding its functions or physiology.

COVID-19 - novel (new) corona virus is a SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus.  *1

With many people being infected with COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2; it appears that not all signs or symptoms for COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 are clearly known.    What has not yet been proven by scientist at the time of the written document (3/27/20 1:53 AM EST) is whether or not it transfer in human sweat.  *2

So, what defense can be built against COVID-19?

1) Utilize a mixture of bleach, water, and dish-washing detergent within a spray bottle or bucket to disinfect surfaces, as well as, various items in a room.  Click here for CDC instructions.  *3

2) Wear long sleeve shirts, pants, socks in shoes, gloves on hand, hat on forehead and mask over face when in the environment of a person infected with the virus.  Whenever possible change out of these clothes while placing them in a sealed plastic bag, if you are not able to wash them in the washing machine immediately.  Note:  The virus can live on plastic for up to 2 to 3 days and stainless steel. Dispose of the plastic bag after it's use.  *1

3) Build a toolbox of sorts to better protect & repair the immune system. Check with your Doctor 1st before the consideration of items below:

*  Echinacea could be a great tool to assist one's immune system in maintaining good health.
    There are at least (3) known types:    Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida

*  Eucalyptus could be beneficial for respiratory related illness.  There are over 600 species of Eucalyptus, however, at least (3) three known types help with breathing:
   

1. Eucalyptus Globulus (Blue Gum Eucalyptus) The classic eucalyptus inspires deep breathing with its foresty, vaporous, camphor-like aroma. ...  *5
2. Eucalyptus Radiata (Narrow-Leaved Eucalyptus) ... *6
3. Eucalyptus Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus)  *4
   https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02786826.2012.708948

As a result of the aforementioned species of Eucalyptus, perhaps, the following products could be of assistance below:

  a) Vick's Vapor Rub
  b) Cepacol Oral Rinse
  c) Cepacol Cough Drops
  d) Organic Throat Coat (Lemon Echinacea)

A Tool Box Analogy for Practicing Good Health

by C. Henry Adams


An analogy within this particular blog is described as a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.  

When one thinks of a tool box full of tools, it is often perceived as a case that have devices that carry various functions to settle a contentious matter.

Perhaps, by implementing a function with a gadget, one solves a problem or at least come within proximity of resolving an issue.  

Thus, such utensils could prove useful in the present or future, if properly implemented.

Now, in life there are many variables, uncertainties, risks and propagation.

The health particularly in this case of a person varies per individual.  Perhaps, many uncertainties, risks and the propagation of disease are real underlying factors.

Science is define as intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

So, for a moment let's imagine that an aid was created utilizing science to resolve a problem.  Let's take a step further and examine the fact that certain biological plants or organisms properly utilized could also provide very useful assistance in eliminating health complications.

Question: Ok, so where are we going with this discussion?   Answer:  Inspire one to create a tool box of items that could assist in practicing good health.

Yes, a 1st Aid Kit is a great example of such a unique tool box of discussion.   But, what could be better?

The answer in bullet points:

*  Educate, research & grasp an understanding of what natural organisms or plants could be beneficial to your health.

*  Always consult your doctor or physician before utilizing man-made products, natural organisms or plants.


*  Echinacea could be a great tool to assist one's immune system in maintaining good health.
    There are at least (3) known types:    Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida

*  Eucalyptus could be beneficial for respiratory related illness.  There are over 600 species of Eucalyptus, however, at least (3) three known types help with breathing:
   

1. Eucalyptus Globulus (Blue Gum Eucalyptus) The classic eucalyptus inspires deep breathing with its foresty, vaporous, camphor-like aroma. ...
2. Eucalyptus Radiata (Narrow-Leaved Eucalyptus) ...
3. Eucalyptus Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus)

As a result of the aforementioned species of Eucalyptus, perhaps, the following products could be of assistance below:

  a) Vick's Vapor Rub or it's generic brand could be a helpful tool.
  b) Cepacol Oral Rinse could be a helpful tool.
  c) Cepacol Cough Drops could be a helpful tool.


Well, these are our thoughts, what say you?

' Heaven Bound ' - a Great Past-time / Fundraiser for nearly 9 Decades

by C. Henry Adams

On February 17th 1930 - Big Bethel A.M.E. Church 1st debut ' Heaven Bound ' an African American Folk Drama conceptualized by Lula B. Jones & written by Nellie L. Davis of this World Famous & Renown Church.

The original purpose of the event or past-time was to raise money for an organization reeling from the Great Depression to say the very least.

As a Christian who believes in prayer, I would like to think in my professional opinion that prayers reaching back to the descendants of slaves, many nationalities, creeds, races & status over 9 decades established this annual occasion for 89 years, thus far.

To grasp a great impression of this instance in time, I took a seat on Wednesday Night of November 6th 2019 at its final rehearsal.

Needless to say while listening to melodious nature of music, my tough military exterior & spirit was moved when tears start flowing from the eyes.

Fore, I recalled my late Mother ( Emma KS Adams ) singing old hymnals in the kitchen while preparing a meal.

Thus, it was when I realized that my purpose for being there was no coincidence.

As I quietly sat listening to the Director, Author & Attorney - Gregory D. Coleman, an example of one of those extraordinary people, I often wrote about in previous blogs; I was encouraged.

Then, while in awe, I observed a cast of multiple generations of People.  Ages that range from the teenage years to the 70's.

Curious to learn more regarding ' Heaven Bound '; the next day, I called my Mentor Mother, Dr. Nellie Adams ( not related ).  Having been a member of Big Bethel A.M.E. Church since childhood; she was the ideal Subject Matter Expert (SME).

She revealed the evolution of this historical musical when she stated there are two versions of the appearance. 

1) On Friday,  November 8th 2019, the Traditional Version of  ' Heaven Bound ' will be presented.  

2) On  Saturday Night November 9th 2019, the Contemporary Version  of  ' Heaven Bound ' will appear.

Where:  Big Bethel A.M.E. Church
              220 Auburn Ave NE,
              Atlanta, GA 30303  USA
              (404) 827-9707

When again?   Friday,  November 8th 2019   &   Saturday,  Night November 9th 2019

What time?  7:00 pm EST

Admission:  $15.00 USD

An Angel Said, ' No One Cares For You Is A Lie '

by C. Henry Adams


One night during a troubling season in my life, I awaken from my sleep to realize the sayings of an Angel.

" No one cares for you is a lie.  Why do I say these things and what proof do we (Other Angels) possess?

Perhaps, if you are a Believer in God and have gathered with other Believers to pray for those people unknown to you all, it was proof of caring.

As you go through daily struggles, financial mishaps, health issues all throughout life -

Know that - someone, somewhere, somehow prayed that your very soul will overcome ill will, poverty,  bad health of all kinds, as well as, many misfortunes of any kind.

Yet, to receive these blessings, that fall from the heavens; you must continue to believe regardless of how weary you become in life. 

Be encourage, now Go Encourage Others Liken Unto You!  Amen. "

Review of TEDx Collier Heights at Frederick Douglass H. S. Atlanta, Georgia

by C. Henry Adams


Key:  FDHS -  Frederick Douglass High School

On Saturday, August 17th 2019,  I step back into time and walked from the H.E. Holmes MARTA Station to the High School that I became a graduate about 30 years ago in my modern day village of Collier Heights located in Atlanta, Georgia USA.

Amazed of how a 'No Windows'  Institution had transformed into the appearance of a small college  'With Windows' today, I was impressed with Frederick Douglass High School (FDHS).

Still even more impressing was when I entered the Dr. Lester W. Butts Auditorium for the first time to experience ' TEDX Collier Heights '.

It was a honor to see the Director of the Atlanta Preservation Center serving Guests in the lobby along with a diverse group of educated individuals awaiting to enter the Auditorium.

At first glance, when I heard of the length of the program, I realized that I could not stay.  However, prior to leaving,  Odie Donald (FDHS Alumni) - Manager of  ' City of South Fulton ' ,  Dr. Nicole Garner - Financial Consultant, Dr, taj anwar baoll - Medical Professional, and Zak Wallace - Songwriter & Restaurant Owner greatly lifted my spirits.

I was enthralled, flabbergasted and motivated as I left early.  I encountered Ann Hill-Bond - Curator in my attempt to sneak out and gave her a hug while saying, ' Outstanding Ann '.

Having not the opportunity to see the completion of the event, I believe it was successful in showing proof that ' Atlanta Influences Everything  '.

Well, these are our thoughts, what say you?

The History of Collier Heights

by C. Henry Adams





My parents (Marion Lewis Adams, Sr. & Emma King Smith Adams) taught me to learn from whence you come from to know where you are going.  (Or)  If you make four turns to the right or left while traveling in unfamiliar places or circumstances; it is likely you will complete a circle.

So, with great understanding of simplicity - Life is a Circle.

From the 1830's to 2019, we will briefly identify the History of Collier Heights area.  Note: The Collier Heights Community was proposed and implemented during the 51st tenure of City of Atlanta's Mayor William Berry Hartsfield while in office from 1941- 1961.

Utilizing Interstate 20 and Interstate 285 to create quadrants; the entire Collier Heights Community landscape is outline.  From left to right, starting with Quadrant 4 (Carroll Heights Neighborhood), the community extends to Quadrant 1 ( H. E. Holmes Drive).  From right to left (bottom right corner of image below) , Quadrant 2  connects to Quadrant 3 along Martin Luther King Jr Drive to Adamsville, Ga.



                            (1962 - 2013)

In 2013, the area identified as Quadrant 1 (See Image below) possessing the zip code 30318 was designated historical. It is quite unfortunate, because the original Collier Heights Area consist of two additional zip codes; 30311 & 30331 which is Adamsville, Ga. This covered 4,000 acres of land.

Video Source:  https://youtu.be/44TzQDkWpfE

                                   (Collier Heights Proposed Plan of 1961)

Before Collier Heights

Before there was a modern-day village called, 'Collier Heights' proposed in 1948, there was Adamsville, Georgia incorporated into a City in 1906.  Although, the name was given to this village in and around 1870 as a result of Farmer George W. Adams settling there.

( 1883 Georgia Map displaying dissolved Campbell County which now Fulton County. )

The aforementioned small town was once a cross-road settlement entrenched near the Chattahoochee River called, ' Lick Skillet '.

Located near the border of Fulton & Campbell County, Georgia in 1883; very little history today is known by its current inhabitants.

Fore, Campbell County, Georgia no longer exist; it was dissolved and now is the lower portion of Fulton County.  It is allege that Campbell County, Georgia did not want the railroad running through
it, thus turning away growth, industry & technology.

The Lick Skillet Settlement survived a Civil War Battle which occurred on Lick Skillet Road on July 28th 1864.

Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/18353752/thirty_years_ago_the_battle_of_lick/

The article shared above points out a number of clues to the Lick Skillet Road Civil War Battle in 1864 that occurred and possibly allude to an answer of unmarked graves found in woods near  Baker's Ferry Road 2013 - 2018.

 At a certain point in time, this road was also named Gordon Road or today - Ralph Abernathy Blvd & a larger portion is Martin Luther King Jr Dr that extend to the Chattahoochee River.

Source: http://chazzcreations.com/thomasshawlangstonscottrobertsdell_family_connections/joseph_shaw__lick_skillet__cohutta__red_clay_georgia

The Lick Skillet Settlement survived a Typhoid Fever Outbreak in 1853.
Prior to the Treaty of New Echota of December 29th 1835, gold was discovered in North Georgia (Dahlonega, Ga), as well as, West Georgia (Villa Rica, Ga).  This caused an economic boom for this precious mineral to occur and the disruption of Native American lives.  

Before the misbegotten treaty mentioned above; in 1832, American Indians (Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other Nations) were forced to move away from their lands which included the border of the Cherokee Nation (Now Cobb, Campbell & several other counties.) which was near the Lick Skillet Settlement.


( North Georgia in 1834;  Atlanta, Ga / Fulton County did not exist,
but Decatur, Ga / Dekalb County was present. )

During the 1830's, Atlanta, Georgia, as well as, Fulton County did not exist.  In their place were an extended version of Dekalb County, the forgotten seat of Campbell County with Fayette County following closely behind.  Today, what vast areas of land these counties once possess are now other counties such as Fulton, Cobb and Douglas Counties.

It's interesting to note that Campbell County measurements, mass & shape changed several times from 1828 to 1870. During that period of time Cherokee Nation northwestern land, developed into many Georgia Counties over a period of 42 years.

Campbell County was established December 20th 1828 and on January 1, 1932 finally merged with Fulton County, Georgia.

A major change or alteration occurred in the area of what is now known as Collier Heights starting in the 1830's, 1850's, 1860's, 1880's, 1900's, 1950's, 1962-2012 and from 2013-2019.

So, what is the point of this discussion? Making things different is not always acceptable.  But, if we are to continue to develop, while building on great things in our individual lives, families and societies; then evolving into the future is imperative.
