"We've lost sight of taking care of ourselves overall. Our diet is really poor. People are overweight, and this is starting younger and younger. e focus should be on whole foods, cuing down on processed foods and sugar. We want a healthy gut biome." Dr. DeMalignon's approach to COVID treatment follows a protocol similar to that of the FLCCC Alliance, which incorporates fluvoxamine and ivermectin with natural therapeutics. "All of the things having to do with COVID, such as Vitamin C and D—they're not rocket science. Active, early treatment is key," she stressed. "We will get through this. We've had worse pandemics— SARS, MERS—that were more significant though maybe didn't spread as fast." Gain of Function is the only Great Falls center offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ozone therapy. Both reportedly can help fight off infection, including COVID-19, through their regenerative effects. Low-dose naltrexone, an oral medication, DeMalignon said, "has benefits for autoimmune disorders and cancer, with minimal side effects. It helps to modulate the immune system when the body is aacking itself." "Functional medicine has made such an impact; it's here to stay," DeMalignon asserted. "We have to stay positive and trust our own instincts. e body really can heal itself." to make toxic spike proteins. ese proteins oen cause permanent damage to children's critical organs. ese organs include their brain and nervous system, their heart and blood vessels including blood clots, their reproductive system, and most importantly, this vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system." "e most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable; they cannot be reversed. You can't fix the lesions within their brains. You cannot repair heart tissue scarring. You cannot repair a genetically reset immune system. And this vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family." "is novel technology has not been adequately tested. We need at least five years of testing and research before we can really understand the risks associated with this new technology. e harms and risks from new medicines are oen revealed many years later," Malone cautions. Oncology physician Berna DeMalignon and husband James opened the new Gain of Function Wellness Center in Great Falls in mid-2021. e DeMalignons practice functional medicine, a holistic approach of identifying and treating the root causes of what ails the patient with natural, evidence- based care. Typical treatment begins with a wellness visit. "We talk to you, do laboratory testing to determine deficiencies, check for areas of improvement—whether it's cardiovascular, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, sleep paerns, stress levels—and then develop a plan," DeMalignon explained. "e focus is on prevention, which takes effort on the part of the patient. e first step is realizing each decision we make is either helping our health or breaking it down." e plan is specific to each person's individual history, health, and habits. "I like to see what the patient will do to make lifestyle changes—whether it's hiking, meditation, diet," she said.

Current COVID-19 vaccines carry health risks, according to Dr. Robert Malone. "The focus is on prevention," says Dr. Berna DeMalignon, medical director for Gain of Function. 51 farm406
