Mockable media mask headlines signal new narratives; Covidians' latest OCD obsession takes dark brown turn; Maine orders Trump off ballot; Argentinian Trump drains swamp; and a hilarious dirty story.
I have a billion dollar idea -- let's rebrand plain ol' covid pcr tests as, say, The C19 POOP test, and sell it on Amazon to the Covidians. Include a pair of vinyl gloves, a tube of hand sanitizer and a designer mask emblazoned with the C&C logo and donate all profits to the Cause...
i liked the masks made of feminine pads (unused ones); as laughable as the sexy lacy belly-dancer masks i saw a few wearing. It was NEVER serious now was it? Grandma knit me a mask for Christmas that matches my mittens. A HOAX we were asked to participate in just like not seeing any election abnormalities in 2020. Co-worker jokingly wore a true gas mask and would get stares---so if one was a TRUE believer you were also anathema in public...Looked like Never Say Die (Black Sabbath) album cover guy. I now have a mask for occasional use that says...."MASKS (don't) REALLY WORK!"
LOL the first time in the store they told me to mask I had on a crochet shawl and asked if that would do - Oh yes that is fine LOL. Even a wasp could go through these holes!
later on, I saw some who had made a face diaper out of nylon stockings ! they called it fake masks. By then I already had given up on them. Only used 3, mostly at Walmart, they handed them out and would not let you in without one. Several people took them off soon as they were inside. I stopped wearing them when I got nauseated. After that, I only shopped at the store next town over, where no one said a thing. No masks, there was only a marker on the door, to keep a distance. No specifications. There was a shield before the cashier but no one paid any attention to it. So nice.
Following the letter of the mandate/recommendation, NOT the spirit of it was just fine 99% of the time.... at times I would use a boot covering over my jaw/nose--looked like a strapless feedbag, all i needed was blinders for my eyes and i would have been livestock with my critical-essential job to go to while others closed down restaurants and small retail shops while big business remained open and cashed in big on Payroll Protection $$$.
Kent, YES. But make it big enough to put a straw in. Draw lips on them, zigzag stitch around the lips. Then cut out the lips part. That way, if she gets hungry she can eat too. Maybe just ‘almost’ cut out the lips of the very top one, so it’s like a flap. And she can just flip it down, or up!
Oh man, I wish I had a bunch of masks . I would do it😂😂😂😂
In the height of it, I took a surgical mask, ripped a hole in the middle and protested in front of a local high school. LOL It drove the Covidians nuts.
I have come to abhor the expression, “the new normal”, but it seems clear to me that the left is trying to normalize public defecation. Not only on our streets in leftist homeless havens such as Portland and San Francisco, but now places where families take their children. All “normal” now. So keep voting Democrat.
Portland is dealing with shigella "Contagious shigella infection spreads through Portland area, renewing health warnings"
.........."Current disease patterns in Multnomah County suggest that fecal-oral spread through sexual contact may account for between half or two-thirds of all cases without international travel,” said Teresa Everson, Multnomah County deputy health officer.
The germaphobes won't be using public restrooms for a new reason...one flush of covid-grade poo will create an aerosol in the room that is unavoidable to inhale. If you can smell it, your mask is useless!
Back in the mask days I had two nurses argue with me about wearing a mask. I refused and they thought they told me off. Would love to have that conversation again with a great big I told you they didn't stop anything but spit.
I was just thinking that DEPENDS should be handed out before entering ANY Disney "amusement" park!! I am also wondering how many of these "poop depositors" are young children as the predominant sector of society that LOVES Disney is people under the age of 12--which sometimes do not have the best "bathroom manners"--especially those under the age of 3 1/2--LOL!! "DEPENDS" IS THE ANSWER!!
Back in the days when I thought about going to law school most who were going into law were English majors in undergrad. Not sure if that's still the case, but when you think about it, law is words, words are law. And what words mean, all of the possible meanings, and how they are constructed, all of the possible ways they are constructed make a big, big difference in how they are interpreted as law. Like how "and," is significantly different in law than ", and", "shall" and "may" are distinctions with difference. Remember the, "it depends on what the definition of "is" is" parsing of a certain past lawyer president? Non-lawyer readers mock. Lawyers and judges nod their heads in agreement.
Studying English as a major introduces one to linguistics. Which is what George Orwell based his future (present?) dystopian "War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength and Freedom is Slavery" Newspeak on, linguistics can make each of those concepts true.
And now you understand why the Marxist Noam Chomsky became a professor of linguistics. You can repeal the US Constitution and all notions of individual freedom and liberty it protects in plain English without firing a bullet by redefining what the words in it mean. Revolution by nonviolent means of controlling language. Unless, of course, "words are violence" these days. Hmmm?
And judges rise in the ranks to higher and higher courts based on how cunning and flexible they are at linguistic gymnastics. The Olympians become Supreme Court justices.
excellent observation! You might appreciate an article from 1986 by Robert M. Cover, "Violence and the Word," 95 YALE L.J. 1601 (1986).
A quote from the first paragraph: "Interpretations in law also constitute justifications for violence which has already occurred or which is about to occur. When interpreters have finished their work, they frequently leave behind victims whose lives have been torn apart by these organized, social practices of violence. Neither legal interpretation nor the violence it occasions may be properly understood apart from one another."
I poked around your Stack to learn more about who appreciated my observation and found that my curiosity has overlapped with your life's academic and legal pursuits.
While I'm not a lawyer I've written more law in my career than most who practice and interpret it. I've met and worked with accomplished lawyers who've taken up civil liberties cases involving indigenous peoples, the lead attorney for Ward Churchill, David Lane, on his termination from CU over free speech issues. This isn't to say my values are in alignment with either of them, they mostly aren't. And while I've enjoyed cocktails and fascinating conversation with David Lane I found his defense of medical tyranny in 2020 reprehensible as a civil liberties attorney and lost all respect for him as I do for all frauds and phonies; I could overlook his far-left values, but not his indulgence in totalitarianism. Which, truth be told, is a prerequisite for applied Marxism as it exists outside academia.
And perhaps of interest to you is a Stack I wrote in 2022 about Russell Means, a transcript of a speech he gave that Mother Jones covered in 1980. It's where I learned a lot that destroyed preconceptions I had of him before I read his words in his own voice. Much of it applies to the insanity of our world we see unfolding around us today. I'd be curious about your obervations as they relate to his speech and my write up about it if you cared to offer them?
Small world! I have met Ward and think the brouhaha about him was an early straw in the wind of ‘identity politics’. I don’t know David Lane, but what you say about him makes sense to me.
I will definitely look at the links you sent… and get back to you, but not until I’m done with a project due on Jan 11…. much appreciated! I met Russell a couple times… his was an up and down career…
That is the most acute painfully accurate description ever! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It conjures up a visual of Peters riding the sewage wave on a surf board wearing his cool aviator shades and a mask of course.
Jan Dickmeyer, as I was reading your comment, Fox News was reporting, “President Biden is Underwater with Polls!” I’m not sure I can finish drinking coffee and reading comments at the same time. I need a ‘Coffee Bib’ to make it through!
Thats a shocking visual you just conjured up. Maybe he is riding the Poopline break instead of the Pipeline (north shore Oahu for the non- surfers among us). or is that Obama as he is hanging there this week.? gives a whole new meaning to Hang Loose. Aloha.
Ha! Perfect Chris. Doesn’t one of these ‘billionarish’ persons want to recycle poop into drinking water for we less then poop preoccupied to partake of? 🤣
Milwaukee's been turning its sewage sludge into fertilizer for sale for decades. Wonder how much $$$ the city has made from monetizing their crap? Enough to cover cost of water treatment?
It doesn't make me feel the slightest bit better that the people imposing muzzle fatwas are in medical centers. If anyone should resent face diapers as ignorant, insane, pointless theater it's "medical professionals." But doctors, especially, just can't stop proving that they're cowards and bootlickers.
And I will keep repeating this until they take my keyboard: There is no such thing in US law as a "mandate" that's defined as the ability of *anyone* to compel or constrain the medical decisions of anyone else. The proper response to anyone who assumes he has that right is a big middle finger.
I see patients daily in my clinic wearing a mask, and it's with compassionate pity that I witness the horror in their eyes when they are confronted with an UNmasked physician [me]😇. (I pray for them when I exit the exam room) 🙏
My physician wore his under his chin even during the Big C. He told me I could take mine off as he’d already had Covid when I had my yearly check up. 😊
I work in the ER. We don't yet have a mask mandate though I fear it's coming soon (my guess is Jan 2nd). My coworkers are horrified and my Covid-positive patients look askance at me when I walk into their rooms maskless. "I'm Covid-positive, you know!" And I reply "Yup! I know!"
As their physician, why don’t you share the truth with them? I applaud you for not wearing a mask but I would hope a physician would share the data and information that shows masks don’t protect you nor do the vaccines!
Absolutely. It's really an incentive to stay healthy. One of the most useful things to come out from the plandemic is the realization that doctors, possibly with surgeons excepted, aren't the repositories of medical wisdom that they pretend they are.
If you really want to scare yourself, read up on evidence-based and population-based "medicine." Scare quotes because it's not real medicine, which requires a focus on and prioritizing individual patients. It's statistics and buck-passing: "So sorry, but we can't approve this treatment for you, even though it might work and you're willing to endure it, because on a population-wide level it's just 27% effective." Doctors don't treat populations. They treat--or are supposed to treat--individuals. Evidence- and population-based "medicine" is an elaborate system for denying treatment and evading all legal and ethical responsibility for the results.
Investigate the cancer industry, just a little, and you will see it is pure, satanic quackery. Ty Bollinger wrote the iconic "The Truth About Cancer", and I believe it was him who said if you only spent 10 hours reading about cancer, you would know more about cancer than 90 % of oncologist. He's right . It's sick, but I believe I have forgotten more about cancer than 90 % of oncologists know , or more accurately, are allowed to know.
A family member is dealing with breast cancer that metastasized. She did all their chemo garbage and is now left with a 3-5 yr death sentence. She started another round of chemo that was “working” but gave her a terminal lung infection. They are treating that now and she FINALLY said she wants to try a natural approach. She wants to try ivermectin too! But her doc won’t prescribe it for cancer. Does anybody know a cancer doc in Michigan (holistic, natural, internal medicine or whatever) that would treat her??? She needs help and guidance to know what to do. She’s not a reader or researcher and has what she calls chemo brain so doesn’t remember much. I want to help her find someone to help her. Any ideas?
Paul Marik of FLCCC fame, has published a White Paper on Cancer that is over 200 pages as I recall. I will have to dig a bit to give you the links. I will send you more when I have assembled the information which might turn out useful.
I just went back to my original post back in July talking about my family member and how to beat cancer without chemo. Tons of information from everyone back in July including YOU! And here you are again trying to help. Thank you so much for your kindness and time. Luckily I kept the link to the thread with the plethora of information to help. Many people recommended the same sources you did too. Unfortunately, after that July post my family member decided to put her trust in big Harma and started chemo again. Ditched the efforts I put in to help her. Now she’s coming around again and realized she was trusting the miracle chemo they sold her on which is trying to kill her instead. 😔 She heard The Lord remind her He is her miracle not chemo. So here we are full circle. Now I can use all the info from July again to try and help. Meanwhile my best friend of 35 years just got a leukemia diagnosis 😭. Neither of these people are vaxxed. And yet here we are. Both trying to figure out how to proceed. This information will help both of them. ♥️
We are human and we do the best we can. Going integrative is expensive because insurance may not recognize this care since it deviates so much from what insurance-medical-cancer care protocols.
I watched this 14 minute Joe Rogan interview earlier today which is relevant to all of us trying to stay healthy. Normally I don't send video links to people, but found this one had a quality that works for me. Information which was presented in way it could be incorporated.
Sunnydaze: This is a 36 slide webinar. Page 17 has a graphic which explains much of what is missing in the conventional cancer approach. Its the cancer stem cells which become problematic. Also, page 25 Jane Mclelland's book, "How to Starve Cancer" is a quick read and certainly influenced Paul Marik. Local libraries should have it.l https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Cancer-Care-Webinar-1-1.pdf
This is great! Thank you! I really appreciate your time to get these for me. I told my family member I’m finding options for her and she was very happy. Her first doc won’t treat her outside of the protocols 🙄 big surprise.
The Wellness Company. You can order meds which include ivermectin and have doctors. Also website - Chris beats cancer - should have resources that involve non chemo to cure cancer.
Sorry, was out sick when this posted to my work email, better late than never plus helps reinforce that perhaps Ivermectin is more of a wonder drug than we believe and the lamestream neocons wants us know about. Natural is how God designed us and through Him and His creation (nature) is where the cure's are!
Actually this response was right on time! It opened the door just now for my family member and I to have a conversation and I forwarded the site to her. She had just started on the ivermectin!!! She is ready! So thank you for responding even though you thought it was late. 😉
I've posted here numerous times about this. My wife was diagnosed July 23 2021 with Stage 2B breast cancer. Her HCG and nagalese tests show she is in remission. Those are the tests we use to track her progress, not an expensive and very high radiation PET test. No oncologist, no chemo, no radiation, and cancelled her scheduled masectomy 19 hours before it was scheduled. Divine intervention from a friend of a friend whom we had never met before. The 5 year survival rate for chemo in the US is 2.1 %. Hundreds of thousands of human data points attached to that number. Chemo kills every growing cell, and you lose ~30 billion cells a day. The hope is to kill the cancer cells before you kill the rest of you. Great plan, huh? And chemo does not kill cancer stem cells, which is why it almost always comes back.
The entire game plan for the cancer industry is to shrink the tumor. The tumor is NOT the problem, it is the solution. Cancer is cancer. There are NOT different types of cancer. And Cancer is systemic . Your body cooperates with the cancer to form tumors and park them, to give you time to get your act together to cure the problems that caused normal cells to mutate into cancer cells ie toxic immune system, poorly nitrified body, high levels of low level ionizing radiation, and emotional stress or trauma (the trigger for 100 % of breast cancer cases, 86 % of other) . Without tumors hovering up most of the cancer cells, it would speed to your brain, heart, and lungs, and kill you quickly.
To address your question, the absolute best bar none solution is the Tennant Institute in Irving TX. Been twice (cured my hyperthyroidism holistically, and quickly) wife once. Dr Tennant is not seeing patients much, but their protocols and staff are something special. He is even curing ALS patients, and that just isn't done. I had a 30 minute teleconference call with their ace chiropractor Chase Faldmo, and with his advise, I have drastically improved my 10-12+ bowel movements a day using only a small neodymium magnet bandaged on my hip replacement scar. He figured out the titanium in it probably flipped my body's polarity.
Yes we had to fly there, but what price your life.? One overnight, two day initial session. They are only 15 minutes from DFW.
Very sad, , but ~90 % of cancer victims do not try holistic until they have already destroyed their immune system with chemo and radiation.
If she does not want to empty what is the second to none solution of the Tennant Institute, she better start reading fast. "Killing Cancer, not People", by Bob Wright. He will also talk to you for a donation, soon to be a fee, but well worth it. I've given away 2 1/2 cases of his books I bought, and convinced twice that number of people to buy it. "Cancer is not a Disease. it is a Healing Mechanism", by Andreas Moritz. "Cancer Free",, Bill Henderson. "The Enzyme Factor", Hiromi Shinya.
We did it on our own, but only with an incredible support network of people like Bob Wright, Tony Jimenez , and others.
One caveat. If this is turbo cancer from the jabs, I have no experience, nor knowledge of whether holistic therapies can work.
Wow. Thank you! That is great information. No this was not a jab related turbo cancer. She never got jabbed.
I live in another state from her so it’s difficult to just shovel information to her. I’m trying currently to get her to research and read and watch videos. Unfortunately or fortunately she is getting more desperate. I tried to sway her away from chemo the third time but my arguments fell flat. Now, she’s getting more interested in a different approach with their hopeless prognosis.
Honestly, it is a lot to research and learn and unless the person is all in and willing to do whatever it takes…. I can’t do it for her. I do what I can, but it’s up to her to run with the information I give her. In the past I’ve spent hours putting information together for her only to find out she didn’t look at any of it. She wasn’t eating at one point and I put together a handful of green organic anti cancer smoothie recipies only to find out she chose to go back to her fruit smoothies. 😢 At least it got her appetite moving again but they were packed with sugar 😢. So even trying to help is an uphill battle because I’m not there to help walk with her through it. I’m going to save all this information though because I can tell from your story and outcome you’ve put in the work to know more. I’m hoping I can pass this along at some point. When she’s ready I guess. Thank you!!!! And I’m glad to hear your wife is doing good and you guys took control of your own health! 👏 👏 ♥️
You are right. Like an alcoholic, only she can decide she wants to pursue holistic healing. We completely changed our lifestyle and eating habits. Spend a fortune on supplements, bought a Kangen unit alkaline water filter, ozone maker do regular coffee enemas, castor oil packs, skin brushing, and other detox. It works, but you have to work at it. Forever. You are a good friend, and I hope she listens. I know full well about the research. We did nothing but read cancer books for 7 months, and still read them today. One thing I have found out. The people in this community of holistic healing are all incredibly unselfish, motivated light warriors. It has been an incredible journey, but in retrospect, very rewarding. Even her cancer trigger, our only child's suicide, has provided incredible life lessons. I posted a link two days ago about stoicism. It has inspired me no end. I strongly suggest you read it.
“All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.” — Marcus Aurelius
the only doctor's office without masks was our veteranarian. If need be, I will play a large white monkey LOL... a few days ago I read an article of how little cancer patients survive the allopathic treatments. If you cut, burn and poison a person, is it a surprise they don't survive? I only knw a few who lived quite long, but most die within a few years, I wonder if they would still be around, had they tried the non-invasive treatments first.
The veterinarians where I lived during peak hysteria wouldn't let pet owners into the building. They came outside, took the animal inside, and then called you with their evaluation. After about a year when they opened up they still required muzzles on the humans. If anyone should know about coronaviruses it's veterinarians. Animals carry them without any harmful effects *all the time.*
yes we got lucky there. After having bad experiences (or heard from other people's bad experiences) a tip from my hair dresser brought us to these people. He had the same problem, the vets here could not see our animal they were too busy. This vet lives 45 minutes driving away, but the few times we had an emergency they did the impossible to help us. And then the scamdemic came and I heard crazy stories like what you report, Fager. The vet closest to us did not let anyone in, I needed a prescription and had to wait outside and hand things through an ultraviolet device in the window. Now I order my prescription online. It is also 20 bucks cheaper. Small town GA
There's a pharmacy in Canada that has human and pet meds at about a quarter the price of US pharmacies. A specialist veterinarian clinic in Dallas recommended it. It's northwestpharmacy.com. My cat's meds are $50 vs. $260 when I ordered from an in-state pharmacy.
Their one drawback is that it takes a little bit longer to ship since they cross an international border, so you have to plan ahead when re-ordering. I asked the vet to write a script for a two-month supply each time, instead of just one, which helps. The pharmacy's really good about answering their phones, too, so you can get questions answered quickly.
Same in PGH. My vet practice was insane. They still have up the dumb plastic barrier at the desk. And only recently relented on making us call before entering, so there I am, hand on door handle asking via mobile phone if I can enter while they're looking at me. I refused to wear a mask, though, and they never confronted me. Same as at doctor's office. Theater.
Same here, in Florida. I changed to a mobile vet that came to my house. They had a small RV type vehicle with xray, surgery, all of it right there, in my driveway. And no masks!
I'm in the panhandle, Panama City, and we have 3 mobile vets that I know of. One of them works in a veterinary building but will come to the house for dogs that don't do well with others, are skiddish, immobile, etc. This works very well when it's time to "let them go" as the pet feels so much more relaxed in their own home. As far as finding a mobile vet, I would look for one that has an RV or bus/van equipped with xray and surgical equipment at the least. Keep in mind, the xray unit on any vehicle is gonna be small (like dental xray unit) and won't be able to accommodate larger dogs. I did have to use another vet for that but I was referred by my vet and it worked well.
I wish you did, too. Honestly, as huge as the family pets population is, you would think people would be jumping at the chance to partake in the veterinary field. The sad truth is, though, veterinary doctors have the highest burnout and suicide rates among Healthcare professionals. I read this sometime last year, I wish I could remember where so I could share it. My guess is because they have so much loss of life due to short lufe span of animals and euthanasia in general. I has to be so hard on them.
That's very easy to believe about their burnout/suicide rates. It's hard enough to go through the stress of your own pet's demise, but to see it day after day, plus deal with the grief from the families, must be depressing as hell.
We live near Texarkana. When both sides of the state line are combined it's a decent-sized small city. I'll bet it could support at least two branches of an emergency clinic if someone opened one there. I keep telling vets around here that they could do really well if they did that but the inertia is something to behold. The People's State of Illinois didn't have a lot to recommend it, but even in our small town an hour from Chicago there were 24/7 emergency clinics. They also had specialist vets come in at scheduled intervals for things like orthopedic surgeries that the regular vets weren't comfortable doing. Apparently in east Texas you're expected to shoot your animals when they get sick, not treat them.
Maybe try finding a rural or livestock type vet would help, at least for the smaller emergencies? Your last sentence was a whammy! I couldn't live in east TX if that were the case. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian, then in high school I got involved in health care, but still thought about caring for animals. Although I chose ppl care, I still helped with animals in a lesser capacity like fostering. I was able to nurse a bunch of dogs, a cat, other random animals back to health and I was so blessed to see them come through the things they did. On the other hand, you know their lives are short, especially if you get older ones. It's heartbreaking. But, you know, in hindsight I wish I went the animal route of healthcare instead. So much more rewarding. I'll be praying your neck of TX gets a really good emergency vet center asap. All animals really need the care. They give us so much more than they receive.
Btw, my father's side of the family were all in Peoria for a long, long time; all the grandparents, aunts, uncle, cousins....we used to go there quite often growing up. They all have moved out of Illinois and spread out to red states. I haven't been back since 1995.
Well, people commonly take out their livestock by shooting them. I suppose there are some who do the same for pets. The livestock vets around here are the absolute worst when it comes to knowing *anything* about pets. They really can't be bothered even with horses, because they're focused mostly on cattle. We're probably lucky that there's even one small animal vet in this town of 1500 people. They're not very good and can't do many tests in-house, but they're a source of prescriptions, at least. And after 20 years of pet ownership we've figured out how and when to do the basics ourselves: sub-Q fluids, B-12 shots, metronidazole, prednisolone, pepcid, cerenia, gabapentin, and tramadol; that takes care of most stuff.
Losing them is heartbreaking, especially when they don't let you know anything's wrong until it's too late. I've had 11 cats over the years and each one picked a different way to get sick and need euthanasia. Only three gave me enough advance notice so I could get a hospice vet to the house (we lived much closer to Dallas then) and give them peaceful exits. The local vet does make house calls for euthanasia, which is a huge deal. There's nothing like having a fatally ill animal that hates car rides and the vet and subjecting it to both in its last minutes. It's just a recipe for PTSD and lifetime regrets. I've always tried to be really mindful of never taking them for granted. Sure, this one's bugging me for attention while I'm trying to write a book chapter, but in ten years will I care about the chapter, or miss the cat? In consequence it takes a long time to get things done here.
I knew someone from Pekin who was in high school there back when the school called themselves the Chinks. How was that okay even in the fifties?
I have given my husband strict instructions to take me to a veterinarian if I’m sick. The only doctor that has to treat each patient based on observation and tests since the animal can’t explain symptoms. Also, many animal medications are HUMSN medications but are, more sanely, dispensed regarding age and WEIGHT not just age. My father in law was a huge vet patient, he’d ask advice when bringing his dog to the vet. My father in law lived to be 96!
Since vets are use to treating parasites, perhaps they could help humans in the battle against cancer, which some say is from parasites. Fenbendozole, etc are standard treatments at the vet.
You can get both Ivermectin and Fenbendazole here for very reasonable prices, sold as PetMectin and PetDazole. We've been using their PetMectin product for over a year on a preventative schedule. Doesn't hurt to have both in your medicine chest.
Most towns do require rabies licenses for dogs... our town also has a leash law, and I just realized that means there's no reason for the rabies shots if the dogs aren't running around loose.
Not a pet owner, but have read many comments from people who think their dog/cat was poisoned by vaxxes--and refuse to do that any longer. Funny how people have had pets for forever and didn't shoot them up. And dogs used to live in doghouses, outdoors.
My German shepherd had an adverse reaction to his last rabies shot. He has a difficult time getting up and walking. He was in perfect condition prior to the shot. Within a few days after, he was barely able to walk. It’s heartbreaking.
There are common vaccines vets inject into cats’ leg instead of the neck as they used to, because they think the vaccines can cause cancer (“feline injection-site sarcomas”), and a leg can be amputated.
Eesh--I get the point, but! A quadruped reduced to a triped--is the risk equal to the benefit? Again--not a pet owner. Just yesterday I noted my neighborhood fox going on 3 legs and cringed (for him).
And don't forget the "cancer/chemo" is a giant multi-billion dollar industry. The more the so called med pro's treat cancer with their poisons, the more money is made not to mention the kickbacks they receive from the chemo manufacturers.
indeed ! but once in a blue moon, I do have something that does not react to any of my herbals. As of now though, I decided to go to our vet. This spring I had an ear infection and thought I was going deaf, and guess what, the new doc refused to treat me because it was a self-inflicted illness (she mistakenly thought I had gone swimming or bathed without ear protection) I told this at the vets office and they were appalled !
I don't understand that reasoning - because it is, presumably, self-inflicted, she won't treat the issue? Is this a natural outgrowth of: If you have covid, don't come in to the dr.'s office, wait until you can't breathe and then go to the ER?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but aren't most of the "Western" diseases self-inflicted: lung cancer (smoking), diabetes (diet, lack of exercise), other cancers (diet, lack of exercise), gout (rich food),etc., etc., etc, ad nauseam?! In fact, is not most of what ails us in the first world caused by our diets, stressful jobs, and sedentary lives?
Our family doc told me 30+ years ago that God did not create us to sit stuck in traffic and work in little boxes and be rushing around trying to cram everything we do into 24 hours. He created us to walk around the Garden of Eden, naming animals and fellowshipping with Him and each other. He said that he could cure 90 - 95% of his patients' complaints if he could write a Rx for his patients to be on a tropical island, walking around picking their food off the trees and bushes, and petting friendly animals!
I had no idea it was that doc in the office - otherwise I would not have gone. She already had a poor reputation. This did it of course. Wont be long before she can pack up her bags again. The last time I went swimming was with my late husband, which brought back a lot of sad memories... that doctor should be put out of her title, she is not worth it! and a nurse who cannot clean a clogged ear is not much of a nurse, either! I finally helped myself with the advice of another, befriended nurse. Warm water and peroxide did the trick.
Ingrid, I'm interested to know more about your herbals approach, if you're willing to share. I'm still trying to learn. Finding it hard to stay focused because everything is so interesting.
the remedies I have are mostly for cold and other respiratory problems because that is what I had most. I also have a few for muscle. I usually order my stuff from Woodland Essence. The homeopathic come from Vitacost, Swanson or Amazon, whichever is cheapest. I use quite a bit of Boiron tablets, the histaminum, Apis, Ledum palustre for bites and the Symphytum for cramps. Luckily apart from the bites, I don't have to use much. But the moment I feel something I take something, I don't wait to see if it will 'become' something ! The books I most recently bought were from Dr Hanna Kroeger.
Ingrid, thank you for the resources. I use Vitacost already, for supplements but don't know mjch about homeopathy. This year I harvested some of the plants growing in my yard, like Mullein. Exploring how to use these God given resources. I've also used the FLCCC site as a resource for a supplement protocol. We're using Elderberry Syrup this year. Lots to explore, including the link to using urine for health & wellness. Intriguing. Thanks again for sharing.
you can just type the name of the plant in your browser and you will soon find out, that there are lots of sites available. Always check several. The ones with identical text can be scrapped off the list they all use the same stereotype. I usually stick with those that have extra text, or that deviate, which usually means they have researched a bit more. Make sure to identify properly. I use a few different books for the region and another from up north but with more detail, Steve Brill. I compare at least 4 or 5 sources and if all say it is safe, I use it. I eat quite a lot of weeds (not Weed) ! Most are the same as what I remember from Europe, but some American ones are different or do not grow in Europe at all, so had to learn a bit again. Elderberry has been around for ages ! You can make delicious lemonade from the flowers too. And syrup for later deluted use!
You may find PubMed a valuable resource for serious, researched, tested information. Useful search term is 'medicinal use of xxx" (also phytochemistry, phytopharmacology, ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology). I am finding that just about everything (and I mean 'everything') growing in my yard has research-supported medicinal benefit.
Well originally I was asking about the herbs but clearly it sounds like you are all in & growing lots of things. Interested in that too 😊 We have a small veggie garden, flowers & volunteer black raspberries. Lemon balm & Chamomile have just showed up in our yard. They are prolific! This past summer there were lots of Mullein. I'm trying to learn about what is already here. I get the sense these plants are here for a reason. 😊
This is my post in another SubStack that is my take on your question!
I really believe people are awake to the facts of this diabolical circus. At the clinic, the calls are 90% people saying they are completely fed up with the allopathic medical model and don’t trust them anymore. They call their oncologists liars and carpetbaggers. However, their health insurance does not pay for non-conventional cancer treatments and these poor people can’t afford to pay out of pocket. They feel trapped. These are killer conversations and I go home at night just wiped out. Some insurance companies will give the patient a partial reimbursement, but they make them jump through hoops to even try. I can’t imagine having to do this while battling cancer. Cruel doesn’t come close to describing that!
My 98 year old Mom has outlived 1-2 MDs who took care of her in 1998! She had colon cancer and lacked one chemotherapy that they told me would have killed her! Didn’t have enough of the enzyme to metabolize the chemo! She also has outlived 2 sons with cancer. The last being my “baby brother” who was 12 years younger than I.
As an RN with a retired license, I’m beginning to believe the osteopathic doctors have it together. Tip of the nursing hat to the Dr in this string!!!
this reminds me of my old friend, who passed away about 5 years ago, she just made it over 100. A few years before that, she complained that all the doctors she was seeing were so young! She said, I would much rather have one my age. Of course, we started laughing. We said, but MaryAnn, you outlived all your doctors! Of course, she could laugh about that, too. I still miss her.
My vet was all about masks long after others had done away with them. I went in one time and they required me to put on a mask. But they offered to see her and call with info. So that was what I did until they finally gained their sanity and no longer required masks.
Last February I took my then 15-year old to the pediatrician. When handed a mask, I put it in my hand and sat 15 minutes holding it. Or maybe I put it in my purse. I told her no. She was confused so she went back to the front desk. The supervisor came over and asked me to put it on. To my daughter’s horror, I told her no I won’t wear them any longer. Long story short, they sent me outside while they tried to figure out what to do. They offered a video appointment but it would have been during another activity. As soon as I went outside, I texted my like minded parent friends, and pretty quickly found a doctor not requiring masks or pushing shots.
Ironically, when that doctor recommended a specialist at Texas Children Hospital (her mask loving pediatrician was a Tx Children’s doctor), I told her I refuse to deal with them anymore. Again, my daughter was horrified. But the doctor literally up, opened the door and shouted to her staff “She won’t deal with Tx Children’s either! I love it!”
I believe my daughter, ever the rule follower like I used to be, learned that mom is not crazy at that point.
I was in a doctors office and was having my blood pressure taken. I was unvaxxed with natural immunity. The masked up nurse found out I hadn’t had the shot, and turned her head away from me as she was taking my blood pressure! I should’ve been turning my head away from HER, as she was probably shedding LNPs and spike from the bloody vaccine!
There was a lot of contributing factors that has made me cancel my insurance and refuse to be treated by government health professionals, but the forced masking in empty waiting rooms as late as September 2022 is one of them. I still have intrusive thoughts about a security guard chasing me down with a mask and angrily telling the receptionist I refused the free mask as I had my own. I wouldn't even touch one of their free mask based on instinct but this confirmed to me it was likely to be another agenda with 'free' mask. There was zero (it seemed) exemptions for people with panic disorders which isn't mentioned enough in the insanity of not following the science. It felt like they were getting sadistic pleasure off of forcing people to wear them that couldn't breathe.
Same. I was refused a room at a hotel unless I put one on. It was work-related so I couldn't make a thing while representing the company, and I took it off as I walked away from the desk toward the elevators. The Stasi enforcer told the clerk to deactivate my key because I'd taken it off so I had to go through the whole process again and leave it on until the elevator doors closed. That was the only time I complied, and I went up to the room and gave my two-week notice that day, because I knew the company and union wouldn't support me against the hotel. I still get outrage about that popping into my brain now and then. I'm confident I could put it behind me, move forward, and heal if only I were allowed five minutes alone with that enforcer and a stout crowbar.
My eyes literally popped reading that. That must have felt so threatening, especially as it was connected to your lively hood.
Have you heard of the technique called freedom tapping? You tap points around your face, collar bones and top of hands whilst thinking of the trapped emotion and breathing it out. Some people get results in one session but if you do it for two weeks it's longer lasting.
It was very threatening. That's an excellent way to put it.
I haven't heard of that technique. I've never been very good at letting anything go until everyone sincerely agrees that I'm right. The best method I've come up with--since it doesn't seem that attacking irritants with crowbars will be legalized in my lifetime--is considering the anger as emotional capital: Just as I wouldn't spend money on certain people, I shouldn't spend emotional effort on them, either. It kind of works sometimes, if repeated often enough.
Yes that's a great analogy and easy way for people to see the energy transference.
'emotional capital: Just as I wouldn't spend money on certain people, I shouldn't spend emotional effort on them'
Omg. If I held onto everything until everyone saw I was right, I would be a mess!
What I found as I learned to strengthen my boundaries is the more I try to get the to admit I was right the more abusive they become - and the more trauma is created.
I usually just walk away. I have a slightly different manta which is my fucks arent free and you can't afford one. Based on the book the subtle art of not giving a fck.
Things that threaten your ability to live is a different level of trauma as when your amygelda is triggered it sets of chemicals that alter your nervous system response. Left untreated, can resurface and cause a life long worth of difficulties.
Ive been dealing with life crippling PTSD as I've had a situation that occurred again and can't seem to create any safety.
Healing PTSD at the core is having the unconditional belief that you are safe and it won't happen again.
All these micro threats are compounding the trauma but also offering us a chance to heal.
I've been researching nervous system responses to threats for ten years and mantras only recondition the mind, which is good, but the nervous system, as in response to spiders or bees is much more powerful. Tapping seems to work. Emdr works very well too, as does grounding blankets and pmef therapies.
"My fucks aren't free and you can't afford one." That's awesome. I love that. (The thing about everyone agreeing that I'm right was an exaggeration, but not by a lot.)
In doing research for a novel involving a character who was emotionally abused by a narcissistic father and had physical trauma in his very recent past, I learned a lot about PTSD and the limbic system. In the character's universe, the only thing that ever gives him any peace long-term is getting justice, whether it's for himself or his clients (he's a private forensic investigator). I think everyone who subscribes to accounts like this, people who over the last four years experienced psychological and emotional isolation, whether self-imposed or not, could do a lot more healing a lot faster if it seemed as though they'd ever see justice done when it comes to the "covid response."
There is a lot to unpack here, and after spending a few hours writing to attempt to get justice, I can't help but to feel that it's a waste of time. I do feel that many of us in the info research and share as a form of healing. However, the only way to heal from a narcissist is to grey rock and go no contact. That's not possible with the constant threat. I literally just read today California has a wood fire ban due to pollution. So no fossil fuels coal or wood! There is escape from these people. I have found prepping for a black out the best therapy. Learning to be self sustainable. As COVID was just the start of the tyranny. If people knew what was coming with C40 cities I'm not sure if they could cope. Maybe that's why Jeff never mentions it. Exposing this would help a lot of people feel safe in their own towns as that's the quickest way to feel vindicated. Federally, there is no hope as they are all just holding the line, whilst the next stage is implemented.
It's funny you mentioned private forensic investigator as my brother in law did this. He researched financial crimes as part of his healing from his father. Changed his surname and went no contact.
We all need a lot of healing. I want to get better so I can host support groups for people. I used to be an excellent space holder for bringing communities together. Now I hate people lol
Nice to meet a good person like yourself tho. Reminds me their is sanity in the world as a world without people being able to self reflect and heal is a painful one.
I think this week Jeff is doing a lot better of a job to try to unite people. the post about giving empathy first, and then taking apart the fear porn is really good. I hope he keeps this up.
That's too funny about your brother-in-law. My fake investigator also went no contact and changed his last name--not because he had a clue about narcissism but out of self-preservation. I wrote that for him, plus his issues, before I ever looked into what would make someone end up the way he did. Once I started investigating that it turned out that a narcissistic parent explained him perfectly. It also made me realize just how many narcissists go into politics.
We bought land in Texas; we prep some; we have some chickens and a few cows for beef and dairy; we network and trade with the neighbors who are doing the same; we garden for ourselves and the chickens. We switched from propane to wood-burning stoves (don't get me started on the Nut Zero anti-energy psychos) and installed some solar panels. It would have been twice the price to go completely off-grid but the panels cover all but the two hottest months of the year. We had a well dug so our water can't be shut off. Etc. It might do some good or it might be futile, but at least we're not sitting here trusting anyone to come save us.
As for the sociopaths, I try to keep in mind that they're impotent: capable of nothing but destruction. Evil itself is ultimately self-defeating, and its power is apparent, not real, made possible only by appeasers, as "covid" demonstrated quite well. I tell myself that life's too short to ever think of evil for one second longer than is necessary to fight it. Sometimes that works.
I personally think they were well aware of the number of people that would suffer with mental health conditions as part of their move to AI and a universal benefit system. Here is an interesting article that just came out on UK STATS
Impotent is right. Sometimes it works for me to write to law enforcement officers (involved in my case) and tell them they have tiny limp dicks and I hope their balls explode from the spike protein with the research on exploding spikey balls... Months worth of laughter therapy from it.
I'm writing about my situation and I'm starting it with the audience assuming the person is mentally ill based on the gaslighting of the narcissist as a way to help people see the affects of this type of abuse. It's interesting that you had the insight to understand the self preservation element. This is intentionally left out of the dsm to protect cluster b personality types and the system as many are doctors lawyers police teachers and politicians - anything with a power exchange element.
Envious of your set up. sounds like you are super aware of everything that is happening.
'life's too short to ever think of evil for one second longer than is necessary to fight it.'
There is a lot of power in the biomagnetic field of taking this approach. It's all a game of power exchange and taking back power by not giving them any fear or emotion is one of the things they fear the most.
Every time I stop fighting the scandal I am involved in, they gangstalk me with another attack. They simply can't stand that I refuse to break myself and allow them to corrupt the system to discredit me. One day I do hope I can write something that makes a difference but that will be on my terms, not theirs. Submitting to this false hope that they will change is where so many are going wrong. I'm just hoping enough of the psychopaths took the poison to virtual signal right now as that will make getting justice a lot easier.
Would be interested to see a study on empath vs narcissist vaccine uptake instead of right vs left.
Seems like a lot freedom fighting researchers are altruist narcissist which means there fantasy is based around helping others. They can be just as dangerous if you question them, so the community isn't immune to them.
Rambling now but it helps me to think a lot of these people that violated our rights might be dead in a few years, which will make it easier to get justice.
I'm not sure what my 'characters' next move is... But I know, I am exhausted from it all.
That's very interesting. It sounds like I must be hanging onto PTSD about the past 4 years. I had an episode of high fever in 2020 and 2021 - indicating a high level of health. Once the vaccine mandate shit hit the fan and I lost my job I stopped having fevers. Now I have bad eczema on my hands - chronic disease indicating my level of health has dropped. I know it's stress related. This whole nightmare has been a huge assault on my nervous system.
You are not alone. I think millions of us are experiencing ptsd which is manifesting into physical illness without us even realizing it. It truly is a silent condition and people don't notice the side effects.
Part of the side effects of limbic triggering is forgetting to breathe. Just three deep breaths or hums can change so much. Also reframing, it's not I lost my job, it's COVID presented me with new opportunities. (Trust me, I'm not there on this yet, but I know it's a technique for other life changes that have worked me)
Have you heard of MMS. I have a note a few notes down on it. Might be worth a try for the eczema.
Hope the eft works for you.
If a spot is sore, tap more there and massage it after, if someone else didn't teach you this.
When I refused the mask in my daughter's pediatrician and had to go outside, I asked if they realized that some people had medical reasons for not wearing masks. She told me yes, but the company policy was everyone must wear them.. So I told her the answer must be no then.
I agree re the hospitals! It’s the epitome of pseudoscience and utterly appalling that we would have to lie by our participation should we find ourselves in need of their services. Despicable.
Just another part of the liturgy at our modern houses of worship. The Medical Center. Notice how the newest biggest fanciest buildings in town are the medical centers. Valet service, huge atriums. Art. Marble and high end finishings. But then they just extract our money (offerings) from us and not voluntary offerings in the plate. While our real churches are crumbling. Mine can barely afford to fix the heating so coats are recommended. Would not be surprised to see masks return but then I quit going.
Have you noticed the satellite houses of worship popping up all over? The sheer number of new emergent care centers being erected everywhere is astounding....almost as if they KNOW we are going to be needing ‘care regularly.
My hospital mandates that I wear my mask when I am within 6 feet of someone. I can take it down to eat or chart or when I am more than 6 feet away from someone. This is because I am unvaccinated for both flu and Covid. I will never get another vaccine again. If my hospital fires me because they will no longer honor my exemption, so be it. I will work elsewhere or be homeless on the street before I consent to a vaccine again. I have not personally challenged the ‘science’ of them requiring me to mask, because I quite honestly don’t want to be that problem employee who is seen as challenging and obstinate, but I am seriously considering writing a sincere email requesting a reevaluation of the masking policy. It is NOT scientific and it is not beneficial. I work at an academic institution, so they should want to follow the science. Unfortunately, I think they will cherry pick which science they choose to follow and they will find some sucky study to support their position. They want to use the masking to shame and as a stick to make us choose to just get jabbed again and again. I love my job except for the vaccine and masking situation.
My daughter was pre med in college… she’d have made an amazing MD… but because of all this vaccine hysteria (and she won’t vaccinate) she has done the sensible thing and changed her major.
They’re intentionally weeding out principled smart people who can think critically from the medical professionals.
Thank you for standing your ground. We need people on the inside who are fighting it. Many blessings to you. 🙏🏻
I am not alone but there are also not very many of us. I am shocked by the number of sheep unwilling to think for themselves. I continually think and say that I work with some of the smartest ignorant people I know. I am sorry that your daughter felt unable to continue to be a doctor. We need doctors willing to challenge the insanity of big Pharma and governments run amuck!
Ultimately she came to the decision that her priority is eventually to be a mom… truthfully. And she saw the vaccine as a threat to that… and she realized she’d be risking years of time and money… to maybe not win that battle… so she’s picked a career that will allow her time to raise a family eventually- hopefully- instead of fight that battle constantly at risk of losing your hard earned and costly degree.
You're not being challenging and obstinate--although people *should* challenge obvious stupidity and they *should* be obstinate about standing up for the truth--you're being an inconvenient impediment to their ass-covering narrative. They can't do anything to change reality so instead they'll penalize and demonize anyone who points it out. If they're cherry-picking anything it means they're doing politics, not science. Real scientists respect reality, even when it clashes with a pet hypothesis, because they want to be right.
If it makes you feel any better, I was so resistant to the face diapers, injections, and threats of nasal probing that I quit my job as an airline pilot two years early. That cost half a million in gross pay plus ate into my 401k until I could draw my pension. In the airlines everything is about seniority, so even if you get hired again they don't plug you in at your former seniority and pay. You start all over again at the bottom of the list. Nine months before I quit I wrote the union, which wanted the company to put the pilot group at the front of the line for injections, and told them that they might have my dues money but they would never have my agreement. When you live in a time where people insist on being insane you do what you can, and you make sure that your silence can never be mistaken for consent, even if all you say is, "I don't agree."
Good for you! Had you needed to you could have gotten another job (for a fraction of the pay) but you can’t get another life. A dear childhood friend died in plane crash this week (he was the pilot and only one on board.). He had all of the recommended bio weapon injections. Just got his most recent one a few weeks ago. Too many pilots have already died. I’m sad for all those who knew better (my friend did not) but caved to the pressure.
Nearly everyone I worked with got the jabs even though they ultimately weren't required by the company. It was strange because as a group pilots think they're independent-minded iconoclasts. Yet they all tamely diapered without complaint and a couple even tried to "shake" when we met by touching elbows. I'd just say, "Yeah, I don't do that."
Since you are at an academic institution, it might be worthwhile to investigate where their financial support originates. Becuz, who pays the piper calls the tune....
At least for us, the nurses working with us saw all of the mask nonsense as just that. They were grousing about how they never masked up for deadlier diseases and how they really didn't do anything. One nurse gave the mantra of "wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands, oh - and wear a mask" ... with that last bit being thrown in sounding like it was something she had to say. Sadly, for many it's "keep a job and provide for the family" or "get fired for protesting". :(
At least most of the medical people we saw didn't have any issues if we weren't properly wearing a mask as they came in - especially for procedures not related to any respiratory illnesses. But I will admit I fired my prior practice because they kept the mask nonsense going far longer than they should have. (Of course, part of a corporate network - so decisions likely coming from on high - another danger in this whole consolidation of health "care".)
they should ALL, as one, have stood up against the nonsense. If they had at least done that, I would may be trust one. But so many played along either believing the narrative (and several still do) or they were afraid for their jobs. And they in turn, lied to their patients, or refused to treat them. Last month it came out that NZ doctors and nurses had gotten an exemption provided they kept on jabbing. Does anyone trust these treators anymore?
I am recovering from what I assume was flu which turned into pneumonia. Fortunately had some appropriate antibiotics on hand but I will not go to a dr or hospital unless I am taken there unconscious. I was so deceived for so long and even after “waking up” would run to Dr if sick. Clearly I’m a slow learner but I’m not dead (no thanks to big medicine) and from here forward I will either heal using natural immunity or home to Jesus. Win-win!
I agree 100% but it’s a pipe dream to think all healthcare workers would unite. We are as diverse in opinion and politics and beliefs as everyone else. During the 2009 swine flu “pandemic” was when I realized everyone was going to comply. That was the first attempt at vaccine and mask coercion/mandates. NY state was going to try and mandate the swine flu vaccine to all healthcare workers. I went to protest in Albany...it was a small crowd...no one in healthcare or outside of healthcare cared that this was going to happen to us!! In the end they dropped the vax mandate due to cost/supply issues but mandated mask wearing during flu season for those who refused to take a flu vaccine. Again no one cared in or out of healthcare what was happening to us! Needless to say I was the only one in my ICU wearing a mask that first year! Eventually more people stood against flu vaccines and masked up, but the majority were sheep and the public outcry was silence and or apathy!
Hey...I agree with you about the medical professionals (I’m a former nurse), and it’s not that I’m happy only they will be forced to wear the useless things however, as long as I continue to have a choice going forward as a patient, I’m sort of content to let them all just live in their stupidness. I was mask injured (long story) but, I am finally going to Brigham in June 2024 for the autonomic testing and brain doppler I’ve needed since 2020 when my injury happened. It’s been postponed for so long because they would not get rid of their mask mandate and I couldn’t wear one, and they continually refused to let me have an exemption even despite an allergy to mask materials and a brain injury. Then of course by the time my testing was actually scheduled, they didn’t have openings for over a year. I swear if they bring back masks for patients, I’m going to blow a fuse.
The point is quite obvious. It's the build-up to the election. The left needs to recycle the 2020 success formula to have a fighting chance to beat Trump. Watch for these stories to keep increasing in the coming weeks and months. It's a classic CIA social media nudge campaign.
Absolutely agree.There is just nothing that can be said to change the thinking process of the compliant fools in the world. So, a big middle finger is a perfect communication tool.
I was “mandated” to wear a mask in my clinic bc I was “exempted”. Never wore it. Still employed. Big wigs (who I never saw) weren’t allowed to share who wasn’t jabbed, so everyone just thought I was. lol
I’m one of the rare physicians who did not wear a mask in public, even got in a civilized argument with Karen at the grocery store. Of course the hospital was a different matter, was never going to win that battle… but I did tell patients they could take theirs off if they looked awkward or uncomfortable
You were very rare. In 2020 I met a general surgeon who didn't make his patients and staff mask and who agreed it was stupid, and I see a GP now who did the same. I quit two other GPs who muzzled and insisted that everyone else did, too.
Since you're a doctor I'll tell you that I was *amazed* when they didn't revolt en masse over the policies. There were a few--the ER docs in California who were banned from YouTube, most of those in the AAPS, SFHF, etc.--who tried to offer some sanity, but what I thought would be the collective power of outraged doctors to put the brakes on the bullshit never materialized. A friend told me that her physician nephew *cried* because he was so terrified of going to work.
I had assumed that people who had the focus and determination to be high achievers in college, medical school, and residency would automatically resent TF out of hospital administrations and legal departments telling them what to do in a medical context. (And I was just as amazed and disappointed by my own professional group--airline pilots--who are a bunch of self-styled iconoclasts but who couldn't slap on face diapers and line up for shots fast enough. It so disgusting and depressing that I quit.) Still, doctors didn't push back en masse against anyone, much less the bullies in the state medical boards, and that was surprising and disappointing. Of course they had a lot to lose--but isn't that even more reason to insist en bloc that doctors not be punished with threats to their licenses when they think for themselves?
I couldn’t agree with you more. I tried to gently speak up a couple times, but got to see the ugly group think of some of my colleagues. Decided to go more subversive, and keep evidence of everything… I did share some information with a local journalist- not sure how I will eventually use all of it, but I’m ready when the time is right. I’ve been of the mindset that it’s no one’s business what meds or jabs I take, so I’ve always politely answered covid jab questions with “I don’t share that information.” I filled out a religious exemption stating I’m not allowed to worship false idols (jabs were totally irrationally idolized). I’ve been a good saver and fiscally responsible, so I could totally afford to lose my hospital privileges, and would be willing to learn a new trade (like plumbing, heck I’m a general/trauma surgeon so I deal with poo all the time). I definitely would have made it painful to anyone who tried to go after me if it had happened or if administration tried to make exemption people wear masks, but that never occurred thankfully. I love what I do so I’m glad I still do it, but I’m ashamed of my profession. Of course there are good doctors like the ones you mentioned who very publicly stood up, there are also some good ones I work with too. I think too many physicians are not financially secure enough to have taken the risk of standing up, they are too dependent on the system. Others don’t think of agencies like CDC as government, but as a pure medical organization unfortunately.
Your answer to intrusive questions is a lot more diplomatic than mine, which trends toward the “None of your effing business” end of the tact spectrum.
The fact that you’re a trauma surgeon made my day, so I’ll inflict this information on you: I wrote a novel in which one of the two main characters is a trauma surgeon. It was the coolest type of surgery out there and it was a great fit for his personality and temperament. When I started researching for the character I didn’t even know that interns are doctors. I’d never heard the word “attending” used as a noun. Now I’m this big expert on TXA, DCR, DCS, FAST, PTT, RSI, hemorrhagic shock, vac dressings, thoracotomy vs thoracostomy vs. thoracentisis…I own copies of Trauma Anesthesia, War Surgery In Afghanistan & Iraq, Netter’s Clinical Anatomy, Clinical Scenarios in Surgery, and Top Knife, plus over twenty first-person books about residency written by doctors. I know who Kenneth Maddox is. Since I don’t *really* know crap about medicine I didn't try to depict my surgeon in the OR and his hospital scenes are limited. For his big badass ninja field-medicine scene I talked extensively with a cardiologist who does consults for writers, and with his guidance it turned out great. I’ve also picked up enough to toss in lines for the character like, “The last time I saw stares that blank I’d asked a couple of interns for the patient’s RIFLE criteria.”
If you ever do decide to throw in the surgical sponge you could become a consultant for English majors who didn't pay enough attention in math class to get into medical school. You'd be working with idiots, but they'd pay good money to access your expertise. Kind of like patients, but more likely to take your advice.
What’s the title of your novel? And where can I purchase it? Mattox is a cool dude.
Re: “none of your effing business…” I 100% agree with that sentiment. I have a colorectal surgeon friend who previously worked as a flight attendant, she jokingly calls her alter ego “Debbie Delta” when she says something that sounds polite, but is really meant as an F you statement. One time when I answered an internist’s question about my jab status, I said my “I don’t share that info” statement, then he said “you know, people will assume you’re not vaccinated.” I said “ok I can live with that.” He didn’t seem to know how to respond. It made me smile.
That has to be a unique career transition: flight attendant to surgeon. Does she do that "Bless your heart" thing that southerners use as code for "Go suck"?
The book's title is Nothing Else Matters because the theme is the role of virtue in friendship. It's not trendy enough to get the attention of literary agents with blue hair and bones in their noses. They all want "own voice" stories about therians who identify as guanacos, so I gave up on that route. I'd have self-published on Amazon already but the conventional wisdom is that if you're doing a series the follow-up books should be released within a few months of each other, and the sequel's still in progress. Substack doesn't have a DM feature or I'd email you a free PDF. Instagram's my only social media presence and the account's private, but if you type "jaggy37320" into the search feature it'll let you do a follow request. Then we could message. (It says "Bob" but that's not my real name and I'm not a dude.) Or if you have Fakebook or something we could go that route.
Great choice, Rowe. Can you just imagine the look on his face as he plunges his gloved mitts into a sewage sample? His look enough would set me LMAO. Love Rowe for all the unusual tasks he takes on, he's a real star IMO
😷I had to take my son to the ER near Seattle, WA, this week and was surprised to see a huge sign at the entry requiring masks. Another smaller sign explained the areas where masks are required and that this policy was effective beginning Dec 5, 2023. I took photos for my own documentation; at one time I wanted to create a book filled with “The Signs of Our Times.”🫤
Oh, by the way, I didn’t wear a mask and no one said a thing to me. But almost everyone else was masked up.
If you’ve read Cormac McCarthy’s dark and beautiful novel All the Pretty Horses, you’ll remember the key question that Emilio Perez asks John Grady, one that cuts to the core of life and what we all must do to live a life worth living.
“The world wants to know if you have cojones. If you are brave?”
I had an Aetna Medicare Supplement all of 2023, and my OTC quarterly benefit was ordered from and supplied by CVS. The brands were predominantly (like 93%) CVS brand...
And the cost of my one and only prescription med was higher at CVS...even with Good Rx.
CVS is the worst! They have been my PPOs preferred provider as long as I can remember. I have constantly had issues with them. The past year and a half they have not accepted my insurance and every time I have had a rx filled, I have had to have my insurance contact them directly to fill my rx. The past 6 months they wouldn’t fill any rx even with my insurance company calling in for an override. I have had to use a discount service like Good RX. I have spent countless hours on the phone with my insurance and CVS customer service.
The issue has been finally straightened out. Because I live a lifestyle of traveling (motorhome), I get my maintenance rx filled in different states. CVS tried to take advantage of Oklahoma law and is now not filling Maintenance rx for out of state insurance companies, forcing people to use mail in rx. I suspect this move bungled up their whole system as I was not even able to fill a rx for an antibiotic in another state. I will not use CVS and would not recommend them to anyone. When this issue finally resolved, I was informed by their customer service this was an Oklahoma issue. In my opinion, corporate is giving their customer service misinformation maybe even disinformation. Corporate greed at its best! Sorry for the rant, mostly just venting.
I work in a pharmacy and we hate calling CVS for prescription transfers. They WILL NOT answer the phone. We've been on hold for over an hour at times. It seems they are so short staffed and so busy that the phone is the least of their concerns. To an extent, I understand. There's only so much a person can do.
Took my dad for some tests in December. Stupid masks signs everywhere. We did not wear masks and everyone left us alone. I only saw one couple with them and they looked terrified.
Wastewater, sewage testing is a tax payer funded reality in Michigan, nobody asked us if we wanted to pay for this. It is found especially at our colleges. Yes our state is still tracking Covid cases you will be pleased to know Michigan still has no flu cases hasn’t had any for 3 years now. Go figure and the official math stinks they need to go back to school and learn how to add.
Disney also seems to be groomers paradise and pedo central and has been for a while now. It is not some where I wish to take my young ones or teens.
She would be terrible as president..... probably equal to what Hilary would have been. She tried very hard to be Biden's VP.....it would have been terrible for the country but maybe better for Michigan to have been rid of her.
Speaking of Whitmer for pres: my local rag ran an Op-Ed today by a guy named Carl P Leubsdorf. It was his crystal ball month-by-month for ‘24. Whitmer wins the Dem nomination on the third ballot at the Chicago DNC. Whitmer then becomes the first woman pres, defeating Trump 333-205 (Electoral College).
Another example of media laziness/shortcuts beyond the stock photo misinformation: Facebook posts. My mom is one of the few remaining loyal subscribers of our pitiful birdcage liner KC Star newspaper. I will peruse her copy from time to time and rather than contact actual citizens for commentary to flesh out an article, they cherry pick FB comments that of course fit whatever narrative it is they are trying to spin. Never mind if the comments run 2 or 3 to one AGAINST their narrative de jour, they just cherry pick the juiciest ones that agree with them and call it a day. Print media journalism is dead as a doornail.
I have this exact thing going on w my parents. They are incredulous and irritated that we don’t read the local paper when we’re there, then say we’re addicted to our devices....as we’re sitting there reading the news. Lol, it’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t read their local paper if I got paid to do it.
18 years ago we moved from Denver to our little town on Colorado’s western border. The local paper was a conservative relief from the liberal Denver Post. A few years later it was bought and converted to liberal garbage. So sad. Canceled the paper. Canceled cable. Now I find news on sites like this that have demonstrated the desire to seek truth amid the lies.
Funny you said this... my parents are in Colorado Springs. Let me just say that it is a VERY different place than where I grew up. Also, their paper is horrible.
My wife picks up old newspapers from her weekly visits to her brother. I find them very useful, and would have a hard time starting the fires in my wood stove without them. I used to make it a point to read Dilbert before it was removed for the author's wrong think reversal on the Covid dogma, but now I just crumple all of the paper unread.
Yeah, I actually liked reading the daily newspaper. In print. Subscribed way longer than we should have as I justified it by saying it did keep us abreast of local news and events. But after the Trump election in 2016 I couldn't take it any more and cancelled. Vast majority of content today is AP or other newspapers like the WaPo, not much local any more. Skeleton crew of local reporters compared to ~20 years ago, and all token conservatives are long gone. Mom is 85, her assisted living place has about a dozen subscribers -suspect a lot of their subscriber base is the same demographic.
That's awesome! Mom had been on her own since my dad passed in 2014, had downsized to an apartment but was needing more and more help. Mentally she is sharp but physically she was never in great shape and 2 years of sheltering in place left her unable to even make it through the grocery store without 'her legs giving out'. One thing led to another and she moved to assisted living this summer. She is now 5 minutes away, vs 30 minutes before. She was bound and determined to hate it but the socialization has been really good for her.
These zero covid people need to start aiming at the origins of covid like these bio labs. Just like those who say you are killing grandma, IT'S THE ILLEGAL GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE US GOVERNMENT THAT IS KILLING GRANDMA, not me. Instead of trying to mandate masks they need to be protesting the biolabs. Or do these idiots still believe this came from bat soup?
"I’m not saying I don’t trust them, but … your factual mileage may vary. Consume at your own risk." Words to live by in all aspects of today's societal marketplace. Thanks, Jeff!!
Want to protect yourself from infection by contact with wastewater? Stop swimming in the cesspool.
I realize that, for progressives, complying with such a command requires a complete change of lifestyle. But hey, sometimes you gotta sacrifice for the greater good!
Hate to break it to you all, but all water you drink is wastewater. Especially those of you that live inland away from the Great Lakes. Sorry. Spent ten years of my working life in sewage unfortunately.
i love living downstream of the Progressive Pooping Class Elites of my community; i get free pharmaceuticals in my water and get to pay out the As- for it.
I know most of Europe does. Otherwise, it is very polluted 'cleaned' water. Most of the bottled water is 'puriefied' water as well. And, well, animals poop too, and it all sips into the ground, and then it ends up in my well I guess LOL. P is not poisonous. If you look at some lotions and creams, they have Urea in it. That is P
Rich Earth Institute. Summer 2022, knew from soil lab test that all my soil needed was N--bought 50# bags of bloodmeal (each setting me back some $136 each bag). Last summer, only used our urine. Cabbages were amazing in size and health (no bugs).
Pretty cool. One dose? Repeated? If the latter, what interval? Wouldna thunk it. Does Rich Earth Institute instruct on such? (Quick reply. I'll search Rich Earth Institute a bit later.)
For my garden, 5 gal urine would do the season's N in each 100 sq foot bed. It has to be diluted, and I made repeated 'offerings'. Spent a whopping lot of time calculating the urine required to provide the N required--good thing I like to play with arithmetic.
I remember from our history lessons, that in old Rome they had carts to collect early morning urine and treated skin conditions with it. better to use these old remedies that do not poison us! Thanks for the link
Urine was used by the fullers to clean those woolen garments. Emperor Vespasian got clever -- taxed the urine vessels placed along street for those needing a quick break (Italian son-in-law tells me they are still sometimes called "Vespasians" [haven't looked into this---I imagine the tax was paid by the fullers who needed the urine, not by those filling the vessels. On the other hand, how many public toilets in Europe are 'pay-to-use'?
I imagine we all have been anyway--for a long time. Where does the wastewater-treatment-plant effluent go? Into the rivers? I fear it may be time to look seriously at a Berkee
Anybody who is drinking Dasani ,Aquafina, or any other brand owned by a too big to fail corporation probably already is. Reverse osmosis is used on a variety of feedstock, and you can bet these ghouls avail themselves of the cheapest available.
There is no etiquette or self discipline of any kind taught in the US anymore (schools)..and I consider a habit of washing hands before meals ( especially for children) good etiquette and/or manners.
Remember that huge hand washing circular sink, 10 kids could fit around it, and it was a novelty to press the foot bar to activate the water. The only gross part was the gritty soap, was that borax?
The media banks on the fact that readers today have the attention span of a toddler and no desire to investigate anything. They take in what they are spoon fed by the clown show media and they repeat it over and over. When I was young, The Enquirer was the worst tabloid and we made fun of it, now it is the daily news.
When my son was in 4th grade he had a weekly assignment to read a newspaper article and do a report on it. This was during the Michael Jackson hearings and I told the teacher I did not want him (intentionally) exposed to what was going on. He was 9! She said any article was fine, so every week I bought the National Enquirer and he picked an article from that to report on. My favorite was the Nazi raccoons. He said the other kids were jealous because he got to read funny stuff. Why do we want our children exposed to the BS going on. Children should retain their innocence. The world will strip them of it soon enough.
Maybe they should be wearing special underwear instead of masks….
Depends.

Thank you!
Hopped up on caffeine!
Yeah just like Huggies!
Good One ☝️😂
It should or be "good #2"?
🤣Good one! 😆
Depends on what? No, don't even answer. 😉
Depends adult diapers.
Sorry, Kathleen, sometimes I'm too sarcastic for my own good.
That was quick 😂😂😂
Just priceless!😂

Witty woman
It's the caffeine.
Ah, glorious caffeine and its wonders.

H.B. says to itself: I'm going to choose to post underneath the top-rated comment to trick people into buying my overpriced t-shirts.
H.B. Is a tiresome troll
Is it possible that HB and NN are the same?
" Itself. "
Spot on.
Not sure they would "get it."
I have a billion dollar idea -- let's rebrand plain ol' covid pcr tests as, say, The C19 POOP test, and sell it on Amazon to the Covidians. Include a pair of vinyl gloves, a tube of hand sanitizer and a designer mask emblazoned with the C&C logo and donate all profits to the Cause...
And include a “sample” envelope to send for lab testing with Dr. Fauci’s address printed on it.
That's a winner!
Yaaaaasssss 😅😅
A new Shark Tank episode in the waiting! 😂🤣😂
It's such a sure thing (and supports a great cause) that Mr. Wonderful would probably go for it, although he'd undoubted;y want royalties
In this case, C&C will stand for 'Covid and Crap'.
Good one! lol
Do like the ad for colon cancer where the little box arrives on your doorstep.
yes -- and animated like Cologard, but perhaps with Fauci's face along with a poop emoji.
Covidguard😂
And include one of those toilet bowl stickers for target practice.
YES....keep them busy and occupied so they can get a break from OCD
Instead of Cologuard it’s Covidguard😂
Quick -- get the copyright!
Goes to show the msm media, lefties, covidians and their buddies are so full of bullcrap that it is too much for their bodies to handle.
That would explain all the crap they spew.
4 masks should do the trick
And a plastic bag Ingrid! 😉😂
ROFL that will certainly do it !
Cellophane ones keeps em from dying of COVID!
i liked the masks made of feminine pads (unused ones); as laughable as the sexy lacy belly-dancer masks i saw a few wearing. It was NEVER serious now was it? Grandma knit me a mask for Christmas that matches my mittens. A HOAX we were asked to participate in just like not seeing any election abnormalities in 2020. Co-worker jokingly wore a true gas mask and would get stares---so if one was a TRUE believer you were also anathema in public...Looked like Never Say Die (Black Sabbath) album cover guy. I now have a mask for occasional use that says...."MASKS (don't) REALLY WORK!"
LOL the first time in the store they told me to mask I had on a crochet shawl and asked if that would do - Oh yes that is fine LOL. Even a wasp could go through these holes!
I had a white lace headband!!
later on, I saw some who had made a face diaper out of nylon stockings ! they called it fake masks. By then I already had given up on them. Only used 3, mostly at Walmart, they handed them out and would not let you in without one. Several people took them off soon as they were inside. I stopped wearing them when I got nauseated. After that, I only shopped at the store next town over, where no one said a thing. No masks, there was only a marker on the door, to keep a distance. No specifications. There was a shield before the cashier but no one paid any attention to it. So nice.
Following the letter of the mandate/recommendation, NOT the spirit of it was just fine 99% of the time.... at times I would use a boot covering over my jaw/nose--looked like a strapless feedbag, all i needed was blinders for my eyes and i would have been livestock with my critical-essential job to go to while others closed down restaurants and small retail shops while big business remained open and cashed in big on Payroll Protection $$$.
SO much better had they been used.
At least poke a whole in them so you can breathe!
Kent, YES. But make it big enough to put a straw in. Draw lips on them, zigzag stitch around the lips. Then cut out the lips part. That way, if she gets hungry she can eat too. Maybe just ‘almost’ cut out the lips of the very top one, so it’s like a flap. And she can just flip it down, or up!
Oh man, I wish I had a bunch of masks . I would do it😂😂😂😂
oh my. I think I need to get back in the sewing room and start a business CStone!
In the height of it, I took a surgical mask, ripped a hole in the middle and protested in front of a local high school. LOL It drove the Covidians nuts.
I have come to abhor the expression, “the new normal”, but it seems clear to me that the left is trying to normalize public defecation. Not only on our streets in leftist homeless havens such as Portland and San Francisco, but now places where families take their children. All “normal” now. So keep voting Democrat.
Well they are full of it so.
Portland is dealing with shigella "Contagious shigella infection spreads through Portland area, renewing health warnings"
.........."Current disease patterns in Multnomah County suggest that fecal-oral spread through sexual contact may account for between half or two-thirds of all cases without international travel,” said Teresa Everson, Multnomah County deputy health officer.

🤔🫣🙄😷😷😷😷💩
Apparently they want cholera epidemics to make a comeback 🙄
The germaphobes won't be using public restrooms for a new reason...one flush of covid-grade poo will create an aerosol in the room that is unavoidable to inhale. If you can smell it, your mask is useless!

Back in the mask days I had two nurses argue with me about wearing a mask. I refused and they thought they told me off. Would love to have that conversation again with a great big I told you they didn't stop anything but spit.
I was just thinking that DEPENDS should be handed out before entering ANY Disney "amusement" park!! I am also wondering how many of these "poop depositors" are young children as the predominant sector of society that LOVES Disney is people under the age of 12--which sometimes do not have the best "bathroom manners"--especially those under the age of 3 1/2--LOL!! "DEPENDS" IS THE ANSWER!!
Wonder if they are wiping their arse in line too!
OOOHHH...don't even want to THINK about that one, Karen!
Not all of them are Mormons!
😂😂😂. I had forgotten about Mitt Romney’s ‘holy underwear’. (Or is it holey underwear.......or wholly underwear?)
Nah. It was ‘Holy underwear’.
Robin to Batman: “Holy underwear, Batman!!”
Aim for the hole or just shake it out!
lol!!! That’s a good one!
No joke, that was seriously proposed by famous covid-fanatic Eric Feigl Ding.
Long underwear used to have buttoned back flaps....

Six words entirely summarizing the past 4 years. Excellent work, counselor! 🏆
Jeff is THE BEST with words. No wonder he’s an attorney.
Except he is an attorney whose words bring clarity rather than confusion! 👍🏻
We in FL are lucky to have him in our population, Jeff is a privilege!
Amen!!
With all the poo…..
Blue-collar attorney? 😂
Wouldn’t it be ‘brown-collar’?)
Amen!! What a awesome feeling too!!
Back in the days when I thought about going to law school most who were going into law were English majors in undergrad. Not sure if that's still the case, but when you think about it, law is words, words are law. And what words mean, all of the possible meanings, and how they are constructed, all of the possible ways they are constructed make a big, big difference in how they are interpreted as law. Like how "and," is significantly different in law than ", and", "shall" and "may" are distinctions with difference. Remember the, "it depends on what the definition of "is" is" parsing of a certain past lawyer president? Non-lawyer readers mock. Lawyers and judges nod their heads in agreement.
Studying English as a major introduces one to linguistics. Which is what George Orwell based his future (present?) dystopian "War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength and Freedom is Slavery" Newspeak on, linguistics can make each of those concepts true.
And now you understand why the Marxist Noam Chomsky became a professor of linguistics. You can repeal the US Constitution and all notions of individual freedom and liberty it protects in plain English without firing a bullet by redefining what the words in it mean. Revolution by nonviolent means of controlling language. Unless, of course, "words are violence" these days. Hmmm?
And judges rise in the ranks to higher and higher courts based on how cunning and flexible they are at linguistic gymnastics. The Olympians become Supreme Court justices.
excellent observation! You might appreciate an article from 1986 by Robert M. Cover, "Violence and the Word," 95 YALE L.J. 1601 (1986).
A quote from the first paragraph: "Interpretations in law also constitute justifications for violence which has already occurred or which is about to occur. When interpreters have finished their work, they frequently leave behind victims whose lives have been torn apart by these organized, social practices of violence. Neither legal interpretation nor the violence it occasions may be properly understood apart from one another."
Thank you for sharing that, I'll dig into it.
I poked around your Stack to learn more about who appreciated my observation and found that my curiosity has overlapped with your life's academic and legal pursuits.
While I'm not a lawyer I've written more law in my career than most who practice and interpret it. I've met and worked with accomplished lawyers who've taken up civil liberties cases involving indigenous peoples, the lead attorney for Ward Churchill, David Lane, on his termination from CU over free speech issues. This isn't to say my values are in alignment with either of them, they mostly aren't. And while I've enjoyed cocktails and fascinating conversation with David Lane I found his defense of medical tyranny in 2020 reprehensible as a civil liberties attorney and lost all respect for him as I do for all frauds and phonies; I could overlook his far-left values, but not his indulgence in totalitarianism. Which, truth be told, is a prerequisite for applied Marxism as it exists outside academia.
And perhaps of interest to you is a Stack I wrote in 2022 about Russell Means, a transcript of a speech he gave that Mother Jones covered in 1980. It's where I learned a lot that destroyed preconceptions I had of him before I read his words in his own voice. Much of it applies to the insanity of our world we see unfolding around us today. I'd be curious about your obervations as they relate to his speech and my write up about it if you cared to offer them?

https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/teaching-an-old-fox-new-tricks
Small world! I have met Ward and think the brouhaha about him was an early straw in the wind of ‘identity politics’. I don’t know David Lane, but what you say about him makes sense to me.
I will definitely look at the links you sent… and get back to you, but not until I’m done with a project due on Jan 11…. much appreciated! I met Russell a couple times… his was an up and down career…
I'll bet he's real expensive but you're almost guaranteed to win!
From what I have been told he was a writer first.
That is the most acute painfully accurate description ever! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It conjures up a visual of Peters riding the sewage wave on a surf board wearing his cool aviator shades and a mask of course.
Jan Dickmeyer, as I was reading your comment, Fox News was reporting, “President Biden is Underwater with Polls!” I’m not sure I can finish drinking coffee and reading comments at the same time. I need a ‘Coffee Bib’ to make it through!
🤣
That is rich Oma🤣
Thats a shocking visual you just conjured up. Maybe he is riding the Poopline break instead of the Pipeline (north shore Oahu for the non- surfers among us). or is that Obama as he is hanging there this week.? gives a whole new meaning to Hang Loose. Aloha.
Peters 🤣🤣🤣 Also, Comrade Fauci
Ha! Perfect Chris. Doesn’t one of these ‘billionarish’ persons want to recycle poop into drinking water for we less then poop preoccupied to partake of? 🤣
Milwaukee's been turning its sewage sludge into fertilizer for sale for decades. Wonder how much $$$ the city has made from monetizing their crap? Enough to cover cost of water treatment?
Michigan has done the same thing for decades,gives a whole new meaning to waste water run off!!
Robert L. Peters?
One of biden’s alias.. he used it in emails, I believe.
🤣🤣🤣Just visualizing that word picture!!
Holding an ice cream cone which gets splattered with ....

Except the counselor forgot the quotes around "pandemic." He does that...
It doesn't make me feel the slightest bit better that the people imposing muzzle fatwas are in medical centers. If anyone should resent face diapers as ignorant, insane, pointless theater it's "medical professionals." But doctors, especially, just can't stop proving that they're cowards and bootlickers.
And I will keep repeating this until they take my keyboard: There is no such thing in US law as a "mandate" that's defined as the ability of *anyone* to compel or constrain the medical decisions of anyone else. The proper response to anyone who assumes he has that right is a big middle finger.
I see patients daily in my clinic wearing a mask, and it's with compassionate pity that I witness the horror in their eyes when they are confronted with an UNmasked physician [me]😇. (I pray for them when I exit the exam room) 🙏
My physician wore his under his chin even during the Big C. He told me I could take mine off as he’d already had Covid when I had my yearly check up. 😊
I work in the ER. We don't yet have a mask mandate though I fear it's coming soon (my guess is Jan 2nd). My coworkers are horrified and my Covid-positive patients look askance at me when I walk into their rooms maskless. "I'm Covid-positive, you know!" And I reply "Yup! I know!"
Thanks for being a D.O, and for being a prayer-ist.
Do they ever ask you to wear a mask, Dr?
I'm waiting....I've not signed the influenza vaccine attestation....
I mean patients. Do they ask you?
As their physician, why don’t you share the truth with them? I applaud you for not wearing a mask but I would hope a physician would share the data and information that shows masks don’t protect you nor do the vaccines!
The masking requirements are another reason to avoid msm medical if at all possible. They do not follow real science.
Absolutely. It's really an incentive to stay healthy. One of the most useful things to come out from the plandemic is the realization that doctors, possibly with surgeons excepted, aren't the repositories of medical wisdom that they pretend they are.
If you really want to scare yourself, read up on evidence-based and population-based "medicine." Scare quotes because it's not real medicine, which requires a focus on and prioritizing individual patients. It's statistics and buck-passing: "So sorry, but we can't approve this treatment for you, even though it might work and you're willing to endure it, because on a population-wide level it's just 27% effective." Doctors don't treat populations. They treat--or are supposed to treat--individuals. Evidence- and population-based "medicine" is an elaborate system for denying treatment and evading all legal and ethical responsibility for the results.
"Doctors prefer Camels more than any other cigarette"
4 out of 5 doctors did.
Investigate the cancer industry, just a little, and you will see it is pure, satanic quackery. Ty Bollinger wrote the iconic "The Truth About Cancer", and I believe it was him who said if you only spent 10 hours reading about cancer, you would know more about cancer than 90 % of oncologist. He's right . It's sick, but I believe I have forgotten more about cancer than 90 % of oncologists know , or more accurately, are allowed to know.
You are correct. Thankfully due to the Bollingers and some fearless doctors, there is more and more awareness of the scam that the cancer industry is.
A family member is dealing with breast cancer that metastasized. She did all their chemo garbage and is now left with a 3-5 yr death sentence. She started another round of chemo that was “working” but gave her a terminal lung infection. They are treating that now and she FINALLY said she wants to try a natural approach. She wants to try ivermectin too! But her doc won’t prescribe it for cancer. Does anybody know a cancer doc in Michigan (holistic, natural, internal medicine or whatever) that would treat her??? She needs help and guidance to know what to do. She’s not a reader or researcher and has what she calls chemo brain so doesn’t remember much. I want to help her find someone to help her. Any ideas?
Sunnydaze the broad category you will be looking is Integrative Oncologist. Here's a quick and dirty link which may be useful. https://cancerchoices.org/resources/cancer-handbooks/how-to-integrate-your-choices/integrative-oncologists-and-other-practitioners/
Paul Marik of FLCCC fame, has published a White Paper on Cancer that is over 200 pages as I recall. I will have to dig a bit to give you the links. I will send you more when I have assembled the information which might turn out useful.
I just went back to my original post back in July talking about my family member and how to beat cancer without chemo. Tons of information from everyone back in July including YOU! And here you are again trying to help. Thank you so much for your kindness and time. Luckily I kept the link to the thread with the plethora of information to help. Many people recommended the same sources you did too. Unfortunately, after that July post my family member decided to put her trust in big Harma and started chemo again. Ditched the efforts I put in to help her. Now she’s coming around again and realized she was trusting the miracle chemo they sold her on which is trying to kill her instead. 😔 She heard The Lord remind her He is her miracle not chemo. So here we are full circle. Now I can use all the info from July again to try and help. Meanwhile my best friend of 35 years just got a leukemia diagnosis 😭. Neither of these people are vaxxed. And yet here we are. Both trying to figure out how to proceed. This information will help both of them. ♥️
We are human and we do the best we can. Going integrative is expensive because insurance may not recognize this care since it deviates so much from what insurance-medical-cancer care protocols.
I watched this 14 minute Joe Rogan interview earlier today which is relevant to all of us trying to stay healthy. Normally I don't send video links to people, but found this one had a quality that works for me. Information which was presented in way it could be incorporated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nloxR3XpgaE
Thank you! 😭 I really appreciate your help. I will look at the link you provided already.
Sunnydaze: This is a 36 slide webinar. Page 17 has a graphic which explains much of what is missing in the conventional cancer approach. Its the cancer stem cells which become problematic. Also, page 25 Jane Mclelland's book, "How to Starve Cancer" is a quick read and certainly influenced Paul Marik. Local libraries should have it.l https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Cancer-Care-Webinar-1-1.pdf
This Paul's White Paper https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Cancer-Care-2023-12-11.pdf
I think Jane at her website has a list of people who practice integrative cancer care. Will look
Here is a list of doctors, but I didn't see one for Michigan. Don't know how current it is. https://www.howtostarvecancer.com/doctors/
Some may offer telemedicine too. So I’ll look to closer areas around her. Thanks!!!!
This is great! Thank you! I really appreciate your time to get these for me. I told my family member I’m finding options for her and she was very happy. Her first doc won’t treat her outside of the protocols 🙄 big surprise.
Looks like nine integrative oncology centers in Michigan here: https://fonconsulting.com/resources/integrative-oncology-centers/
The Wellness Company. You can order meds which include ivermectin and have doctors. Also website - Chris beats cancer - should have resources that involve non chemo to cure cancer.
Without a prescription?
Look at veterinary meds websites. No script or forms to fill out.
Ivermectin and Fenbenzol are both easily available and usually the same quality as for human consumption. Normally, less expensive as well.
And you can get them in several ways. Powder, paste, injection, etc.

Even Amazon has both of them. The veterinary formulations are just fine to take.
Yes. You fill out a medical questionnaire.

Wow! Thank you!!!
Sorry, was out sick when this posted to my work email, better late than never plus helps reinforce that perhaps Ivermectin is more of a wonder drug than we believe and the lamestream neocons wants us know about. Natural is how God designed us and through Him and His creation (nature) is where the cure's are!
Actually this response was right on time! It opened the door just now for my family member and I to have a conversation and I forwarded the site to her. She had just started on the ivermectin!!! She is ready! So thank you for responding even though you thought it was late. 😉
awesome, God's perfect timing then!!! Can tell her that :D
I've posted here numerous times about this. My wife was diagnosed July 23 2021 with Stage 2B breast cancer. Her HCG and nagalese tests show she is in remission. Those are the tests we use to track her progress, not an expensive and very high radiation PET test. No oncologist, no chemo, no radiation, and cancelled her scheduled masectomy 19 hours before it was scheduled. Divine intervention from a friend of a friend whom we had never met before. The 5 year survival rate for chemo in the US is 2.1 %. Hundreds of thousands of human data points attached to that number. Chemo kills every growing cell, and you lose ~30 billion cells a day. The hope is to kill the cancer cells before you kill the rest of you. Great plan, huh? And chemo does not kill cancer stem cells, which is why it almost always comes back.
The entire game plan for the cancer industry is to shrink the tumor. The tumor is NOT the problem, it is the solution. Cancer is cancer. There are NOT different types of cancer. And Cancer is systemic . Your body cooperates with the cancer to form tumors and park them, to give you time to get your act together to cure the problems that caused normal cells to mutate into cancer cells ie toxic immune system, poorly nitrified body, high levels of low level ionizing radiation, and emotional stress or trauma (the trigger for 100 % of breast cancer cases, 86 % of other) . Without tumors hovering up most of the cancer cells, it would speed to your brain, heart, and lungs, and kill you quickly.
To address your question, the absolute best bar none solution is the Tennant Institute in Irving TX. Been twice (cured my hyperthyroidism holistically, and quickly) wife once. Dr Tennant is not seeing patients much, but their protocols and staff are something special. He is even curing ALS patients, and that just isn't done. I had a 30 minute teleconference call with their ace chiropractor Chase Faldmo, and with his advise, I have drastically improved my 10-12+ bowel movements a day using only a small neodymium magnet bandaged on my hip replacement scar. He figured out the titanium in it probably flipped my body's polarity.
Yes we had to fly there, but what price your life.? One overnight, two day initial session. They are only 15 minutes from DFW.
Very sad, , but ~90 % of cancer victims do not try holistic until they have already destroyed their immune system with chemo and radiation.
If she does not want to empty what is the second to none solution of the Tennant Institute, she better start reading fast. "Killing Cancer, not People", by Bob Wright. He will also talk to you for a donation, soon to be a fee, but well worth it. I've given away 2 1/2 cases of his books I bought, and convinced twice that number of people to buy it. "Cancer is not a Disease. it is a Healing Mechanism", by Andreas Moritz. "Cancer Free",, Bill Henderson. "The Enzyme Factor", Hiromi Shinya.
We did it on our own, but only with an incredible support network of people like Bob Wright, Tony Jimenez , and others.
One caveat. If this is turbo cancer from the jabs, I have no experience, nor knowledge of whether holistic therapies can work.
Wow. Thank you! That is great information. No this was not a jab related turbo cancer. She never got jabbed.
I live in another state from her so it’s difficult to just shovel information to her. I’m trying currently to get her to research and read and watch videos. Unfortunately or fortunately she is getting more desperate. I tried to sway her away from chemo the third time but my arguments fell flat. Now, she’s getting more interested in a different approach with their hopeless prognosis.
Honestly, it is a lot to research and learn and unless the person is all in and willing to do whatever it takes…. I can’t do it for her. I do what I can, but it’s up to her to run with the information I give her. In the past I’ve spent hours putting information together for her only to find out she didn’t look at any of it. She wasn’t eating at one point and I put together a handful of green organic anti cancer smoothie recipies only to find out she chose to go back to her fruit smoothies. 😢 At least it got her appetite moving again but they were packed with sugar 😢. So even trying to help is an uphill battle because I’m not there to help walk with her through it. I’m going to save all this information though because I can tell from your story and outcome you’ve put in the work to know more. I’m hoping I can pass this along at some point. When she’s ready I guess. Thank you!!!! And I’m glad to hear your wife is doing good and you guys took control of your own health! 👏 👏 ♥️
You are right. Like an alcoholic, only she can decide she wants to pursue holistic healing. We completely changed our lifestyle and eating habits. Spend a fortune on supplements, bought a Kangen unit alkaline water filter, ozone maker do regular coffee enemas, castor oil packs, skin brushing, and other detox. It works, but you have to work at it. Forever. You are a good friend, and I hope she listens. I know full well about the research. We did nothing but read cancer books for 7 months, and still read them today. One thing I have found out. The people in this community of holistic healing are all incredibly unselfish, motivated light warriors. It has been an incredible journey, but in retrospect, very rewarding. Even her cancer trigger, our only child's suicide, has provided incredible life lessons. I posted a link two days ago about stoicism. It has inspired me no end. I strongly suggest you read it.

Thanks for the book mention. I'll check it out.

And the converse: Francis Collins saying that as director of Public Health, his concern was for the individual not the population. Huh?
They'll say whatever they think will shut people up. Internal consistency is the last thing on their minds.
the only doctor's office without masks was our veteranarian. If need be, I will play a large white monkey LOL... a few days ago I read an article of how little cancer patients survive the allopathic treatments. If you cut, burn and poison a person, is it a surprise they don't survive? I only knw a few who lived quite long, but most die within a few years, I wonder if they would still be around, had they tried the non-invasive treatments first.
The veterinarians where I lived during peak hysteria wouldn't let pet owners into the building. They came outside, took the animal inside, and then called you with their evaluation. After about a year when they opened up they still required muzzles on the humans. If anyone should know about coronaviruses it's veterinarians. Animals carry them without any harmful effects *all the time.*
I agree. It was beyond rare to have found a Vet, during covid hysteria, that did not enforce idiotic rules.
yes we got lucky there. After having bad experiences (or heard from other people's bad experiences) a tip from my hair dresser brought us to these people. He had the same problem, the vets here could not see our animal they were too busy. This vet lives 45 minutes driving away, but the few times we had an emergency they did the impossible to help us. And then the scamdemic came and I heard crazy stories like what you report, Fager. The vet closest to us did not let anyone in, I needed a prescription and had to wait outside and hand things through an ultraviolet device in the window. Now I order my prescription online. It is also 20 bucks cheaper. Small town GA
Ultraviolet. FFS.
There's a pharmacy in Canada that has human and pet meds at about a quarter the price of US pharmacies. A specialist veterinarian clinic in Dallas recommended it. It's northwestpharmacy.com. My cat's meds are $50 vs. $260 when I ordered from an in-state pharmacy.
Their one drawback is that it takes a little bit longer to ship since they cross an international border, so you have to plan ahead when re-ordering. I asked the vet to write a script for a two-month supply each time, instead of just one, which helps. The pharmacy's really good about answering their phones, too, so you can get questions answered quickly.
Sadly I was not paid for this endorsement.
wow thank you ! I will certainly check them out. The meds from Singapore took also 3+ weeks and I never wait until the last pill, so that will work.
Infuriating and ridiculous. I had to step back from the insanity to maintain my peace of heart. I wasn’t always successful.
Medical licensing bureau. You pay, to play, our way, or you're out.
Vets are just as guilty with their vaccines and lack of research.
Absolutely agree.
Same in PGH. My vet practice was insane. They still have up the dumb plastic barrier at the desk. And only recently relented on making us call before entering, so there I am, hand on door handle asking via mobile phone if I can enter while they're looking at me. I refused to wear a mask, though, and they never confronted me. Same as at doctor's office. Theater.
Same here. Though I refused to wear the mask. They didn't say anything to me but the compliants sat with their masks on. Idiots.
Same here, in Florida. I changed to a mobile vet that came to my house. They had a small RV type vehicle with xray, surgery, all of it right there, in my driveway. And no masks!
That's awesome! May I ask what towns the mobile rv vet serves?
I'm in the panhandle, Panama City, and we have 3 mobile vets that I know of. One of them works in a veterinary building but will come to the house for dogs that don't do well with others, are skiddish, immobile, etc. This works very well when it's time to "let them go" as the pet feels so much more relaxed in their own home. As far as finding a mobile vet, I would look for one that has an RV or bus/van equipped with xray and surgical equipment at the least. Keep in mind, the xray unit on any vehicle is gonna be small (like dental xray unit) and won't be able to accommodate larger dogs. I did have to use another vet for that but I was referred by my vet and it worked well.
Wish we had those here. There isn't even an emergency clinic closer than 2.5 hours.
I wish you did, too. Honestly, as huge as the family pets population is, you would think people would be jumping at the chance to partake in the veterinary field. The sad truth is, though, veterinary doctors have the highest burnout and suicide rates among Healthcare professionals. I read this sometime last year, I wish I could remember where so I could share it. My guess is because they have so much loss of life due to short lufe span of animals and euthanasia in general. I has to be so hard on them.
That's very easy to believe about their burnout/suicide rates. It's hard enough to go through the stress of your own pet's demise, but to see it day after day, plus deal with the grief from the families, must be depressing as hell.
We live near Texarkana. When both sides of the state line are combined it's a decent-sized small city. I'll bet it could support at least two branches of an emergency clinic if someone opened one there. I keep telling vets around here that they could do really well if they did that but the inertia is something to behold. The People's State of Illinois didn't have a lot to recommend it, but even in our small town an hour from Chicago there were 24/7 emergency clinics. They also had specialist vets come in at scheduled intervals for things like orthopedic surgeries that the regular vets weren't comfortable doing. Apparently in east Texas you're expected to shoot your animals when they get sick, not treat them.
Maybe try finding a rural or livestock type vet would help, at least for the smaller emergencies? Your last sentence was a whammy! I couldn't live in east TX if that were the case. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian, then in high school I got involved in health care, but still thought about caring for animals. Although I chose ppl care, I still helped with animals in a lesser capacity like fostering. I was able to nurse a bunch of dogs, a cat, other random animals back to health and I was so blessed to see them come through the things they did. On the other hand, you know their lives are short, especially if you get older ones. It's heartbreaking. But, you know, in hindsight I wish I went the animal route of healthcare instead. So much more rewarding. I'll be praying your neck of TX gets a really good emergency vet center asap. All animals really need the care. They give us so much more than they receive.
Btw, my father's side of the family were all in Peoria for a long, long time; all the grandparents, aunts, uncle, cousins....we used to go there quite often growing up. They all have moved out of Illinois and spread out to red states. I haven't been back since 1995.
Well, people commonly take out their livestock by shooting them. I suppose there are some who do the same for pets. The livestock vets around here are the absolute worst when it comes to knowing *anything* about pets. They really can't be bothered even with horses, because they're focused mostly on cattle. We're probably lucky that there's even one small animal vet in this town of 1500 people. They're not very good and can't do many tests in-house, but they're a source of prescriptions, at least. And after 20 years of pet ownership we've figured out how and when to do the basics ourselves: sub-Q fluids, B-12 shots, metronidazole, prednisolone, pepcid, cerenia, gabapentin, and tramadol; that takes care of most stuff.
Losing them is heartbreaking, especially when they don't let you know anything's wrong until it's too late. I've had 11 cats over the years and each one picked a different way to get sick and need euthanasia. Only three gave me enough advance notice so I could get a hospice vet to the house (we lived much closer to Dallas then) and give them peaceful exits. The local vet does make house calls for euthanasia, which is a huge deal. There's nothing like having a fatally ill animal that hates car rides and the vet and subjecting it to both in its last minutes. It's just a recipe for PTSD and lifetime regrets. I've always tried to be really mindful of never taking them for granted. Sure, this one's bugging me for attention while I'm trying to write a book chapter, but in ten years will I care about the chapter, or miss the cat? In consequence it takes a long time to get things done here.
I knew someone from Pekin who was in high school there back when the school called themselves the Chinks. How was that okay even in the fifties?
Gads. Had the same ridiculous experience here in Kookifornia. They have yet to stop all the BS!
It's all over the place. Don't think Floriduh is immune. Crazy is not uncommon.
Yes. Depends on the location but here we had one like that where they took animal from you. 😩
I do not go anywhere without my dog. I even don't like it when they want to cut here nails in the adjacent room.
Texas. An effing disgrace.
I have given my husband strict instructions to take me to a veterinarian if I’m sick. The only doctor that has to treat each patient based on observation and tests since the animal can’t explain symptoms. Also, many animal medications are HUMSN medications but are, more sanely, dispensed regarding age and WEIGHT not just age. My father in law was a huge vet patient, he’d ask advice when bringing his dog to the vet. My father in law lived to be 96!
Since vets are use to treating parasites, perhaps they could help humans in the battle against cancer, which some say is from parasites. Fenbendozole, etc are standard treatments at the vet.
https://www.fenbendazole.org/
You can get both Ivermectin and Fenbendazole here for very reasonable prices, sold as PetMectin and PetDazole. We've been using their PetMectin product for over a year on a preventative schedule. Doesn't hurt to have both in your medicine chest.

Veterinarians are now pushing vaccines for the dogs, around here. And getting paid big bucks for doing so.
Refuse to vaxx my dog anymore either. Nope 👎🏻
Vaccines required for boarding. So assume you don’t do that
Correct. We do not board.
your town/city doesn't require it ? Mine does - rabies every three years....
Most towns do require rabies licenses for dogs... our town also has a leash law, and I just realized that means there's no reason for the rabies shots if the dogs aren't running around loose.
💯 agree.
Not a pet owner, but have read many comments from people who think their dog/cat was poisoned by vaxxes--and refuse to do that any longer. Funny how people have had pets for forever and didn't shoot them up. And dogs used to live in doghouses, outdoors.
My German shepherd had an adverse reaction to his last rabies shot. He has a difficult time getting up and walking. He was in perfect condition prior to the shot. Within a few days after, he was barely able to walk. It’s heartbreaking.
Wow! These adverse reactions are so terrible!
Yes, it breaks my heart every day. He stumbles and falls over everything. He’s still happy and alert, so I am thankful for that.
There are common vaccines vets inject into cats’ leg instead of the neck as they used to, because they think the vaccines can cause cancer (“feline injection-site sarcomas”), and a leg can be amputated.
I was told by my cats' breeders not to get them injected at all for that very reason.
Seems like good advice for infants and children and adult persons.
Eesh--I get the point, but! A quadruped reduced to a triped--is the risk equal to the benefit? Again--not a pet owner. Just yesterday I noted my neighborhood fox going on 3 legs and cringed (for him).
It's funny if you think of dogs being treated already with fenbendazole (worms) and horses with ivermectin (worms). Heck they don't need no vaxxx!
GREAT INFORMATION!
yes, since cures for cancer exist but they are hell bent on neutralizing anyone who comes up with one.
And don't forget the "cancer/chemo" is a giant multi-billion dollar industry. The more the so called med pro's treat cancer with their poisons, the more money is made not to mention the kickbacks they receive from the chemo manufacturers.
Yes lets not forget cancer docs can profit DIRECTLY off your chemo... no conflict of interest there, nah uh.
Don’t go to the doctor’s office. It’s full of sick people
indeed ! but once in a blue moon, I do have something that does not react to any of my herbals. As of now though, I decided to go to our vet. This spring I had an ear infection and thought I was going deaf, and guess what, the new doc refused to treat me because it was a self-inflicted illness (she mistakenly thought I had gone swimming or bathed without ear protection) I told this at the vets office and they were appalled !
I don't understand that reasoning - because it is, presumably, self-inflicted, she won't treat the issue? Is this a natural outgrowth of: If you have covid, don't come in to the dr.'s office, wait until you can't breathe and then go to the ER?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but aren't most of the "Western" diseases self-inflicted: lung cancer (smoking), diabetes (diet, lack of exercise), other cancers (diet, lack of exercise), gout (rich food),etc., etc., etc, ad nauseam?! In fact, is not most of what ails us in the first world caused by our diets, stressful jobs, and sedentary lives?
Our family doc told me 30+ years ago that God did not create us to sit stuck in traffic and work in little boxes and be rushing around trying to cram everything we do into 24 hours. He created us to walk around the Garden of Eden, naming animals and fellowshipping with Him and each other. He said that he could cure 90 - 95% of his patients' complaints if he could write a Rx for his patients to be on a tropical island, walking around picking their food off the trees and bushes, and petting friendly animals!
Mrs. "the Knife"
I had no idea it was that doc in the office - otherwise I would not have gone. She already had a poor reputation. This did it of course. Wont be long before she can pack up her bags again. The last time I went swimming was with my late husband, which brought back a lot of sad memories... that doctor should be put out of her title, she is not worth it! and a nurse who cannot clean a clogged ear is not much of a nurse, either! I finally helped myself with the advice of another, befriended nurse. Warm water and peroxide did the trick.
Colloidal silver drops in the ear work very well when you can’t get to a doctor.
Colloidal Silver drops (or spray) in the ear works well for humans and canines.
Colloidal silver as well as castor oil have amazing healing properties.
As does garlic oil
Ingrid, I'm interested to know more about your herbals approach, if you're willing to share. I'm still trying to learn. Finding it hard to stay focused because everything is so interesting.
the remedies I have are mostly for cold and other respiratory problems because that is what I had most. I also have a few for muscle. I usually order my stuff from Woodland Essence. The homeopathic come from Vitacost, Swanson or Amazon, whichever is cheapest. I use quite a bit of Boiron tablets, the histaminum, Apis, Ledum palustre for bites and the Symphytum for cramps. Luckily apart from the bites, I don't have to use much. But the moment I feel something I take something, I don't wait to see if it will 'become' something ! The books I most recently bought were from Dr Hanna Kroeger.
Ingrid, thank you for the resources. I use Vitacost already, for supplements but don't know mjch about homeopathy. This year I harvested some of the plants growing in my yard, like Mullein. Exploring how to use these God given resources. I've also used the FLCCC site as a resource for a supplement protocol. We're using Elderberry Syrup this year. Lots to explore, including the link to using urine for health & wellness. Intriguing. Thanks again for sharing.
you can just type the name of the plant in your browser and you will soon find out, that there are lots of sites available. Always check several. The ones with identical text can be scrapped off the list they all use the same stereotype. I usually stick with those that have extra text, or that deviate, which usually means they have researched a bit more. Make sure to identify properly. I use a few different books for the region and another from up north but with more detail, Steve Brill. I compare at least 4 or 5 sources and if all say it is safe, I use it. I eat quite a lot of weeds (not Weed) ! Most are the same as what I remember from Europe, but some American ones are different or do not grow in Europe at all, so had to learn a bit again. Elderberry has been around for ages ! You can make delicious lemonade from the flowers too. And syrup for later deluted use!
You may find PubMed a valuable resource for serious, researched, tested information. Useful search term is 'medicinal use of xxx" (also phytochemistry, phytopharmacology, ethnobotany, ethnopharmacology). I am finding that just about everything (and I mean 'everything') growing in my yard has research-supported medicinal benefit.
Yes, Pubmed is a great resource for botanical medicine!
Via, thank you for the 'search' suggestions. Results are often so dependent on the words we choose 😊
Good gravy. Swimmer's ear is no more "self-inflicted" than Type 2 diabetes and car accidents. What a nut!
That doctor is a nut. I'm sure the vet was appalled as any reasonable person would be.
Ingrid,
Are you growing your own? I do, and having had soil tested, I can know what's in them
Via, what do you grow?
Do you mean herbs, vegetables or fruits?
Well originally I was asking about the herbs but clearly it sounds like you are all in & growing lots of things. Interested in that too 😊 We have a small veggie garden, flowers & volunteer black raspberries. Lemon balm & Chamomile have just showed up in our yard. They are prolific! This past summer there were lots of Mullein. I'm trying to learn about what is already here. I get the sense these plants are here for a reason. 😊
This is my post in another SubStack that is my take on your question!
I really believe people are awake to the facts of this diabolical circus. At the clinic, the calls are 90% people saying they are completely fed up with the allopathic medical model and don’t trust them anymore. They call their oncologists liars and carpetbaggers. However, their health insurance does not pay for non-conventional cancer treatments and these poor people can’t afford to pay out of pocket. They feel trapped. These are killer conversations and I go home at night just wiped out. Some insurance companies will give the patient a partial reimbursement, but they make them jump through hoops to even try. I can’t imagine having to do this while battling cancer. Cruel doesn’t come close to describing that!
My 98 year old Mom has outlived 1-2 MDs who took care of her in 1998! She had colon cancer and lacked one chemotherapy that they told me would have killed her! Didn’t have enough of the enzyme to metabolize the chemo! She also has outlived 2 sons with cancer. The last being my “baby brother” who was 12 years younger than I.
As an RN with a retired license, I’m beginning to believe the osteopathic doctors have it together. Tip of the nursing hat to the Dr in this string!!!
this reminds me of my old friend, who passed away about 5 years ago, she just made it over 100. A few years before that, she complained that all the doctors she was seeing were so young! She said, I would much rather have one my age. Of course, we started laughing. We said, but MaryAnn, you outlived all your doctors! Of course, she could laugh about that, too. I still miss her.
My vet was all about masks long after others had done away with them. I went in one time and they required me to put on a mask. But they offered to see her and call with info. So that was what I did until they finally gained their sanity and no longer required masks.
He cancer industry’s play book is ‘Destroy to Heal’
A couple of years ago, I went to our hospital for an imaging appointment. Didn’t wear a mask (that flustered the gal at the reception desk).
The staff in the imaging department couldn’t have been nicer, never batted an eye.
Last February I took my then 15-year old to the pediatrician. When handed a mask, I put it in my hand and sat 15 minutes holding it. Or maybe I put it in my purse. I told her no. She was confused so she went back to the front desk. The supervisor came over and asked me to put it on. To my daughter’s horror, I told her no I won’t wear them any longer. Long story short, they sent me outside while they tried to figure out what to do. They offered a video appointment but it would have been during another activity. As soon as I went outside, I texted my like minded parent friends, and pretty quickly found a doctor not requiring masks or pushing shots.
Ironically, when that doctor recommended a specialist at Texas Children Hospital (her mask loving pediatrician was a Tx Children’s doctor), I told her I refuse to deal with them anymore. Again, my daughter was horrified. But the doctor literally up, opened the door and shouted to her staff “She won’t deal with Tx Children’s either! I love it!”
I believe my daughter, ever the rule follower like I used to be, learned that mom is not crazy at that point.
Great job! I love embarrassing my kids with my noncompliance!
I'm a non-mask wearing x-ray tech. Mask wearing patients always remove their masks when inside my x-ray room. I don't say anything.
My strategy has been just don’t put the mask on. Nearly 100% of the time no one said anything.
I didn’t wear a mask throughout the pandemic. I was refused admission into a few stores though. I’ve never shopped at them since.
I was in a doctors office and was having my blood pressure taken. I was unvaxxed with natural immunity. The masked up nurse found out I hadn’t had the shot, and turned her head away from me as she was taking my blood pressure! I should’ve been turning my head away from HER, as she was probably shedding LNPs and spike from the bloody vaccine!
There was a lot of contributing factors that has made me cancel my insurance and refuse to be treated by government health professionals, but the forced masking in empty waiting rooms as late as September 2022 is one of them. I still have intrusive thoughts about a security guard chasing me down with a mask and angrily telling the receptionist I refused the free mask as I had my own. I wouldn't even touch one of their free mask based on instinct but this confirmed to me it was likely to be another agenda with 'free' mask. There was zero (it seemed) exemptions for people with panic disorders which isn't mentioned enough in the insanity of not following the science. It felt like they were getting sadistic pleasure off of forcing people to wear them that couldn't breathe.
Same. I was refused a room at a hotel unless I put one on. It was work-related so I couldn't make a thing while representing the company, and I took it off as I walked away from the desk toward the elevators. The Stasi enforcer told the clerk to deactivate my key because I'd taken it off so I had to go through the whole process again and leave it on until the elevator doors closed. That was the only time I complied, and I went up to the room and gave my two-week notice that day, because I knew the company and union wouldn't support me against the hotel. I still get outrage about that popping into my brain now and then. I'm confident I could put it behind me, move forward, and heal if only I were allowed five minutes alone with that enforcer and a stout crowbar.
My eyes literally popped reading that. That must have felt so threatening, especially as it was connected to your lively hood.
Have you heard of the technique called freedom tapping? You tap points around your face, collar bones and top of hands whilst thinking of the trapped emotion and breathing it out. Some people get results in one session but if you do it for two weeks it's longer lasting.
It was very threatening. That's an excellent way to put it.
I haven't heard of that technique. I've never been very good at letting anything go until everyone sincerely agrees that I'm right. The best method I've come up with--since it doesn't seem that attacking irritants with crowbars will be legalized in my lifetime--is considering the anger as emotional capital: Just as I wouldn't spend money on certain people, I shouldn't spend emotional effort on them, either. It kind of works sometimes, if repeated often enough.
Yes that's a great analogy and easy way for people to see the energy transference.
'emotional capital: Just as I wouldn't spend money on certain people, I shouldn't spend emotional effort on them'
Omg. If I held onto everything until everyone saw I was right, I would be a mess!
What I found as I learned to strengthen my boundaries is the more I try to get the to admit I was right the more abusive they become - and the more trauma is created.
I usually just walk away. I have a slightly different manta which is my fucks arent free and you can't afford one. Based on the book the subtle art of not giving a fck.
Things that threaten your ability to live is a different level of trauma as when your amygelda is triggered it sets of chemicals that alter your nervous system response. Left untreated, can resurface and cause a life long worth of difficulties.
Ive been dealing with life crippling PTSD as I've had a situation that occurred again and can't seem to create any safety.
Healing PTSD at the core is having the unconditional belief that you are safe and it won't happen again.
All these micro threats are compounding the trauma but also offering us a chance to heal.
I've been researching nervous system responses to threats for ten years and mantras only recondition the mind, which is good, but the nervous system, as in response to spiders or bees is much more powerful. Tapping seems to work. Emdr works very well too, as does grounding blankets and pmef therapies.
Hope you found a new job that you enjoy.
"My fucks aren't free and you can't afford one." That's awesome. I love that. (The thing about everyone agreeing that I'm right was an exaggeration, but not by a lot.)
In doing research for a novel involving a character who was emotionally abused by a narcissistic father and had physical trauma in his very recent past, I learned a lot about PTSD and the limbic system. In the character's universe, the only thing that ever gives him any peace long-term is getting justice, whether it's for himself or his clients (he's a private forensic investigator). I think everyone who subscribes to accounts like this, people who over the last four years experienced psychological and emotional isolation, whether self-imposed or not, could do a lot more healing a lot faster if it seemed as though they'd ever see justice done when it comes to the "covid response."
There is a lot to unpack here, and after spending a few hours writing to attempt to get justice, I can't help but to feel that it's a waste of time. I do feel that many of us in the info research and share as a form of healing. However, the only way to heal from a narcissist is to grey rock and go no contact. That's not possible with the constant threat. I literally just read today California has a wood fire ban due to pollution. So no fossil fuels coal or wood! There is escape from these people. I have found prepping for a black out the best therapy. Learning to be self sustainable. As COVID was just the start of the tyranny. If people knew what was coming with C40 cities I'm not sure if they could cope. Maybe that's why Jeff never mentions it. Exposing this would help a lot of people feel safe in their own towns as that's the quickest way to feel vindicated. Federally, there is no hope as they are all just holding the line, whilst the next stage is implemented.
It's funny you mentioned private forensic investigator as my brother in law did this. He researched financial crimes as part of his healing from his father. Changed his surname and went no contact.
We all need a lot of healing. I want to get better so I can host support groups for people. I used to be an excellent space holder for bringing communities together. Now I hate people lol
Nice to meet a good person like yourself tho. Reminds me their is sanity in the world as a world without people being able to self reflect and heal is a painful one.
I think this week Jeff is doing a lot better of a job to try to unite people. the post about giving empathy first, and then taking apart the fear porn is really good. I hope he keeps this up.
That's too funny about your brother-in-law. My fake investigator also went no contact and changed his last name--not because he had a clue about narcissism but out of self-preservation. I wrote that for him, plus his issues, before I ever looked into what would make someone end up the way he did. Once I started investigating that it turned out that a narcissistic parent explained him perfectly. It also made me realize just how many narcissists go into politics.
We bought land in Texas; we prep some; we have some chickens and a few cows for beef and dairy; we network and trade with the neighbors who are doing the same; we garden for ourselves and the chickens. We switched from propane to wood-burning stoves (don't get me started on the Nut Zero anti-energy psychos) and installed some solar panels. It would have been twice the price to go completely off-grid but the panels cover all but the two hottest months of the year. We had a well dug so our water can't be shut off. Etc. It might do some good or it might be futile, but at least we're not sitting here trusting anyone to come save us.
As for the sociopaths, I try to keep in mind that they're impotent: capable of nothing but destruction. Evil itself is ultimately self-defeating, and its power is apparent, not real, made possible only by appeasers, as "covid" demonstrated quite well. I tell myself that life's too short to ever think of evil for one second longer than is necessary to fight it. Sometimes that works.
I personally think they were well aware of the number of people that would suffer with mental health conditions as part of their move to AI and a universal benefit system. Here is an interesting article that just came out on UK STATS
https://dailysceptic.org/2023/12/29/benefits-caseload-to-rise-by-920-a-day-for-the-next-five-years/
Impotent is right. Sometimes it works for me to write to law enforcement officers (involved in my case) and tell them they have tiny limp dicks and I hope their balls explode from the spike protein with the research on exploding spikey balls... Months worth of laughter therapy from it.
I'm writing about my situation and I'm starting it with the audience assuming the person is mentally ill based on the gaslighting of the narcissist as a way to help people see the affects of this type of abuse. It's interesting that you had the insight to understand the self preservation element. This is intentionally left out of the dsm to protect cluster b personality types and the system as many are doctors lawyers police teachers and politicians - anything with a power exchange element.
Envious of your set up. sounds like you are super aware of everything that is happening.
'life's too short to ever think of evil for one second longer than is necessary to fight it.'
There is a lot of power in the biomagnetic field of taking this approach. It's all a game of power exchange and taking back power by not giving them any fear or emotion is one of the things they fear the most.
Every time I stop fighting the scandal I am involved in, they gangstalk me with another attack. They simply can't stand that I refuse to break myself and allow them to corrupt the system to discredit me. One day I do hope I can write something that makes a difference but that will be on my terms, not theirs. Submitting to this false hope that they will change is where so many are going wrong. I'm just hoping enough of the psychopaths took the poison to virtual signal right now as that will make getting justice a lot easier.
Would be interested to see a study on empath vs narcissist vaccine uptake instead of right vs left.
Seems like a lot freedom fighting researchers are altruist narcissist which means there fantasy is based around helping others. They can be just as dangerous if you question them, so the community isn't immune to them.
Rambling now but it helps me to think a lot of these people that violated our rights might be dead in a few years, which will make it easier to get justice.
I'm not sure what my 'characters' next move is... But I know, I am exhausted from it all.
That's very interesting. It sounds like I must be hanging onto PTSD about the past 4 years. I had an episode of high fever in 2020 and 2021 - indicating a high level of health. Once the vaccine mandate shit hit the fan and I lost my job I stopped having fevers. Now I have bad eczema on my hands - chronic disease indicating my level of health has dropped. I know it's stress related. This whole nightmare has been a huge assault on my nervous system.
I'm going to try working with the EFT.
You are not alone. I think millions of us are experiencing ptsd which is manifesting into physical illness without us even realizing it. It truly is a silent condition and people don't notice the side effects.
Part of the side effects of limbic triggering is forgetting to breathe. Just three deep breaths or hums can change so much. Also reframing, it's not I lost my job, it's COVID presented me with new opportunities. (Trust me, I'm not there on this yet, but I know it's a technique for other life changes that have worked me)
Have you heard of MMS. I have a note a few notes down on it. Might be worth a try for the eczema.
Hope the eft works for you.
If a spot is sore, tap more there and massage it after, if someone else didn't teach you this.
Fager, this is a video by Jessica Ortner demonstrating this technique.

Thank you!
When I refused the mask in my daughter's pediatrician and had to go outside, I asked if they realized that some people had medical reasons for not wearing masks. She told me yes, but the company policy was everyone must wear them.. So I told her the answer must be no then.
I agree re the hospitals! It’s the epitome of pseudoscience and utterly appalling that we would have to lie by our participation should we find ourselves in need of their services. Despicable.
Just another part of the liturgy at our modern houses of worship. The Medical Center. Notice how the newest biggest fanciest buildings in town are the medical centers. Valet service, huge atriums. Art. Marble and high end finishings. But then they just extract our money (offerings) from us and not voluntary offerings in the plate. While our real churches are crumbling. Mine can barely afford to fix the heating so coats are recommended. Would not be surprised to see masks return but then I quit going.
Have you noticed the satellite houses of worship popping up all over? The sheer number of new emergent care centers being erected everywhere is astounding....almost as if they KNOW we are going to be needing ‘care regularly.
Yes. That’s another thing. I bet our Walmart will have one soon. Or Tractor Supply. 🤣🥴🤔
Also City Halls are getting out of hand. Some are real fancy. And require showing gov ID to get in.
Bingo! I see it the same way.
My hospital mandates that I wear my mask when I am within 6 feet of someone. I can take it down to eat or chart or when I am more than 6 feet away from someone. This is because I am unvaccinated for both flu and Covid. I will never get another vaccine again. If my hospital fires me because they will no longer honor my exemption, so be it. I will work elsewhere or be homeless on the street before I consent to a vaccine again. I have not personally challenged the ‘science’ of them requiring me to mask, because I quite honestly don’t want to be that problem employee who is seen as challenging and obstinate, but I am seriously considering writing a sincere email requesting a reevaluation of the masking policy. It is NOT scientific and it is not beneficial. I work at an academic institution, so they should want to follow the science. Unfortunately, I think they will cherry pick which science they choose to follow and they will find some sucky study to support their position. They want to use the masking to shame and as a stick to make us choose to just get jabbed again and again. I love my job except for the vaccine and masking situation.
My daughter was pre med in college… she’d have made an amazing MD… but because of all this vaccine hysteria (and she won’t vaccinate) she has done the sensible thing and changed her major.
They’re intentionally weeding out principled smart people who can think critically from the medical professionals.
Thank you for standing your ground. We need people on the inside who are fighting it. Many blessings to you. 🙏🏻
I am not alone but there are also not very many of us. I am shocked by the number of sheep unwilling to think for themselves. I continually think and say that I work with some of the smartest ignorant people I know. I am sorry that your daughter felt unable to continue to be a doctor. We need doctors willing to challenge the insanity of big Pharma and governments run amuck!
Yes! Indeed.
Ultimately she came to the decision that her priority is eventually to be a mom… truthfully. And she saw the vaccine as a threat to that… and she realized she’d be risking years of time and money… to maybe not win that battle… so she’s picked a career that will allow her time to raise a family eventually- hopefully- instead of fight that battle constantly at risk of losing your hard earned and costly degree.
You're not being challenging and obstinate--although people *should* challenge obvious stupidity and they *should* be obstinate about standing up for the truth--you're being an inconvenient impediment to their ass-covering narrative. They can't do anything to change reality so instead they'll penalize and demonize anyone who points it out. If they're cherry-picking anything it means they're doing politics, not science. Real scientists respect reality, even when it clashes with a pet hypothesis, because they want to be right.
If it makes you feel any better, I was so resistant to the face diapers, injections, and threats of nasal probing that I quit my job as an airline pilot two years early. That cost half a million in gross pay plus ate into my 401k until I could draw my pension. In the airlines everything is about seniority, so even if you get hired again they don't plug you in at your former seniority and pay. You start all over again at the bottom of the list. Nine months before I quit I wrote the union, which wanted the company to put the pilot group at the front of the line for injections, and told them that they might have my dues money but they would never have my agreement. When you live in a time where people insist on being insane you do what you can, and you make sure that your silence can never be mistaken for consent, even if all you say is, "I don't agree."
Good for you! Had you needed to you could have gotten another job (for a fraction of the pay) but you can’t get another life. A dear childhood friend died in plane crash this week (he was the pilot and only one on board.). He had all of the recommended bio weapon injections. Just got his most recent one a few weeks ago. Too many pilots have already died. I’m sad for all those who knew better (my friend did not) but caved to the pressure.
HHM I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Hearing about too many of these types of events.
My condolences on the loss of your friend.
Nearly everyone I worked with got the jabs even though they ultimately weren't required by the company. It was strange because as a group pilots think they're independent-minded iconoclasts. Yet they all tamely diapered without complaint and a couple even tried to "shake" when we met by touching elbows. I'd just say, "Yeah, I don't do that."
Hey
Maybe you could fly all the globalist to Davos next year … heard they only flew with non-vaccinated pilots.
Crazy world.
I’m sorry you had to sacrifice so much. But May your continued good health be your reward. 🙏🏻
Thank you. It sucked, but the sacrifice would have been to stay. I kept my integrity and self-respect, not to mention my sanity.
When I'm ready for a kamikaze mission the back of the plane will definitely be loaded with globalists.
More power to you. I'm including you in my prayers.
Do you carry a six-foot pole with you? Because I would.
Since you are at an academic institution, it might be worthwhile to investigate where their financial support originates. Becuz, who pays the piper calls the tune....
At least for us, the nurses working with us saw all of the mask nonsense as just that. They were grousing about how they never masked up for deadlier diseases and how they really didn't do anything. One nurse gave the mantra of "wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands, oh - and wear a mask" ... with that last bit being thrown in sounding like it was something she had to say. Sadly, for many it's "keep a job and provide for the family" or "get fired for protesting". :(
At least most of the medical people we saw didn't have any issues if we weren't properly wearing a mask as they came in - especially for procedures not related to any respiratory illnesses. But I will admit I fired my prior practice because they kept the mask nonsense going far longer than they should have. (Of course, part of a corporate network - so decisions likely coming from on high - another danger in this whole consolidation of health "care".)
they should ALL, as one, have stood up against the nonsense. If they had at least done that, I would may be trust one. But so many played along either believing the narrative (and several still do) or they were afraid for their jobs. And they in turn, lied to their patients, or refused to treat them. Last month it came out that NZ doctors and nurses had gotten an exemption provided they kept on jabbing. Does anyone trust these treators anymore?
Exactly. They could have put on a united front against medical illiteracy but they sat on their hands, instead.
I am recovering from what I assume was flu which turned into pneumonia. Fortunately had some appropriate antibiotics on hand but I will not go to a dr or hospital unless I am taken there unconscious. I was so deceived for so long and even after “waking up” would run to Dr if sick. Clearly I’m a slow learner but I’m not dead (no thanks to big medicine) and from here forward I will either heal using natural immunity or home to Jesus. Win-win!
Agreed! I was sick last month and went to urgent care and immediately left when they required masks.
I said the same thing about doctors banning together. I was surprised when they did not.
I agree 100% but it’s a pipe dream to think all healthcare workers would unite. We are as diverse in opinion and politics and beliefs as everyone else. During the 2009 swine flu “pandemic” was when I realized everyone was going to comply. That was the first attempt at vaccine and mask coercion/mandates. NY state was going to try and mandate the swine flu vaccine to all healthcare workers. I went to protest in Albany...it was a small crowd...no one in healthcare or outside of healthcare cared that this was going to happen to us!! In the end they dropped the vax mandate due to cost/supply issues but mandated mask wearing during flu season for those who refused to take a flu vaccine. Again no one cared in or out of healthcare what was happening to us! Needless to say I was the only one in my ICU wearing a mask that first year! Eventually more people stood against flu vaccines and masked up, but the majority were sheep and the public outcry was silence and or apathy!
It's depressing AF. They don't have to agree politically, but you'd think they'd agree medically and scientifically.
Agree 💯
Hey...I agree with you about the medical professionals (I’m a former nurse), and it’s not that I’m happy only they will be forced to wear the useless things however, as long as I continue to have a choice going forward as a patient, I’m sort of content to let them all just live in their stupidness. I was mask injured (long story) but, I am finally going to Brigham in June 2024 for the autonomic testing and brain doppler I’ve needed since 2020 when my injury happened. It’s been postponed for so long because they would not get rid of their mask mandate and I couldn’t wear one, and they continually refused to let me have an exemption even despite an allergy to mask materials and a brain injury. Then of course by the time my testing was actually scheduled, they didn’t have openings for over a year. I swear if they bring back masks for patients, I’m going to blow a fuse.
Julia, I'm sorry to hear this is what you have been going through. May you have all that you need, today & in the days ahead. 💕
The point is quite obvious. It's the build-up to the election. The left needs to recycle the 2020 success formula to have a fighting chance to beat Trump. Watch for these stories to keep increasing in the coming weeks and months. It's a classic CIA social media nudge campaign.
‘Muzzle fatwas’....still laughing!
Face diapers too. 😉
🎯🎯🎯
Absolutely agree.There is just nothing that can be said to change the thinking process of the compliant fools in the world. So, a big middle finger is a perfect communication tool.
I was “mandated” to wear a mask in my clinic bc I was “exempted”. Never wore it. Still employed. Big wigs (who I never saw) weren’t allowed to share who wasn’t jabbed, so everyone just thought I was. lol
If words were weapons, you just defeated an army. 👏🏻👏🏻💥
I’m one of the rare physicians who did not wear a mask in public, even got in a civilized argument with Karen at the grocery store. Of course the hospital was a different matter, was never going to win that battle… but I did tell patients they could take theirs off if they looked awkward or uncomfortable
You were very rare. In 2020 I met a general surgeon who didn't make his patients and staff mask and who agreed it was stupid, and I see a GP now who did the same. I quit two other GPs who muzzled and insisted that everyone else did, too.
Since you're a doctor I'll tell you that I was *amazed* when they didn't revolt en masse over the policies. There were a few--the ER docs in California who were banned from YouTube, most of those in the AAPS, SFHF, etc.--who tried to offer some sanity, but what I thought would be the collective power of outraged doctors to put the brakes on the bullshit never materialized. A friend told me that her physician nephew *cried* because he was so terrified of going to work.
I had assumed that people who had the focus and determination to be high achievers in college, medical school, and residency would automatically resent TF out of hospital administrations and legal departments telling them what to do in a medical context. (And I was just as amazed and disappointed by my own professional group--airline pilots--who are a bunch of self-styled iconoclasts but who couldn't slap on face diapers and line up for shots fast enough. It so disgusting and depressing that I quit.) Still, doctors didn't push back en masse against anyone, much less the bullies in the state medical boards, and that was surprising and disappointing. Of course they had a lot to lose--but isn't that even more reason to insist en bloc that doctors not be punished with threats to their licenses when they think for themselves?
I couldn’t agree with you more. I tried to gently speak up a couple times, but got to see the ugly group think of some of my colleagues. Decided to go more subversive, and keep evidence of everything… I did share some information with a local journalist- not sure how I will eventually use all of it, but I’m ready when the time is right. I’ve been of the mindset that it’s no one’s business what meds or jabs I take, so I’ve always politely answered covid jab questions with “I don’t share that information.” I filled out a religious exemption stating I’m not allowed to worship false idols (jabs were totally irrationally idolized). I’ve been a good saver and fiscally responsible, so I could totally afford to lose my hospital privileges, and would be willing to learn a new trade (like plumbing, heck I’m a general/trauma surgeon so I deal with poo all the time). I definitely would have made it painful to anyone who tried to go after me if it had happened or if administration tried to make exemption people wear masks, but that never occurred thankfully. I love what I do so I’m glad I still do it, but I’m ashamed of my profession. Of course there are good doctors like the ones you mentioned who very publicly stood up, there are also some good ones I work with too. I think too many physicians are not financially secure enough to have taken the risk of standing up, they are too dependent on the system. Others don’t think of agencies like CDC as government, but as a pure medical organization unfortunately.
Your answer to intrusive questions is a lot more diplomatic than mine, which trends toward the “None of your effing business” end of the tact spectrum.
The fact that you’re a trauma surgeon made my day, so I’ll inflict this information on you: I wrote a novel in which one of the two main characters is a trauma surgeon. It was the coolest type of surgery out there and it was a great fit for his personality and temperament. When I started researching for the character I didn’t even know that interns are doctors. I’d never heard the word “attending” used as a noun. Now I’m this big expert on TXA, DCR, DCS, FAST, PTT, RSI, hemorrhagic shock, vac dressings, thoracotomy vs thoracostomy vs. thoracentisis…I own copies of Trauma Anesthesia, War Surgery In Afghanistan & Iraq, Netter’s Clinical Anatomy, Clinical Scenarios in Surgery, and Top Knife, plus over twenty first-person books about residency written by doctors. I know who Kenneth Maddox is. Since I don’t *really* know crap about medicine I didn't try to depict my surgeon in the OR and his hospital scenes are limited. For his big badass ninja field-medicine scene I talked extensively with a cardiologist who does consults for writers, and with his guidance it turned out great. I’ve also picked up enough to toss in lines for the character like, “The last time I saw stares that blank I’d asked a couple of interns for the patient’s RIFLE criteria.”
If you ever do decide to throw in the surgical sponge you could become a consultant for English majors who didn't pay enough attention in math class to get into medical school. You'd be working with idiots, but they'd pay good money to access your expertise. Kind of like patients, but more likely to take your advice.
What’s the title of your novel? And where can I purchase it? Mattox is a cool dude.
Re: “none of your effing business…” I 100% agree with that sentiment. I have a colorectal surgeon friend who previously worked as a flight attendant, she jokingly calls her alter ego “Debbie Delta” when she says something that sounds polite, but is really meant as an F you statement. One time when I answered an internist’s question about my jab status, I said my “I don’t share that info” statement, then he said “you know, people will assume you’re not vaccinated.” I said “ok I can live with that.” He didn’t seem to know how to respond. It made me smile.
That has to be a unique career transition: flight attendant to surgeon. Does she do that "Bless your heart" thing that southerners use as code for "Go suck"?
The book's title is Nothing Else Matters because the theme is the role of virtue in friendship. It's not trendy enough to get the attention of literary agents with blue hair and bones in their noses. They all want "own voice" stories about therians who identify as guanacos, so I gave up on that route. I'd have self-published on Amazon already but the conventional wisdom is that if you're doing a series the follow-up books should be released within a few months of each other, and the sequel's still in progress. Substack doesn't have a DM feature or I'd email you a free PDF. Instagram's my only social media presence and the account's private, but if you type "jaggy37320" into the search feature it'll let you do a follow request. Then we could message. (It says "Bob" but that's not my real name and I'm not a dude.) Or if you have Fakebook or something we could go that route.
Such a crappy update Jeff. 😂🤣
Poop humor is so funny. 🤣🤣
That’s why five year olds love it
As well as this 62 year old. 😉😄
no shit
I’m just imagining Mike Rowe doing a show on this 🤣🤣🤣 can you imagine the comments he’d have?
Haha! 😂😂😂 especially with a test kit to measure covid levels in the sewage. Probably much higher in highly vaxxed areas. 🤣🤣
dont you think they are putting it in the sewers, just like in the food, drinks, etc?
Ooh, good point about the vaxed areas!
Yes! If measuring for spike protein it would be higher in highly vx areas
Especially after eating Chinese for dinner🤣
Great choice, Rowe. Can you just imagine the look on his face as he plunges his gloved mitts into a sewage sample? His look enough would set me LMAO. Love Rowe for all the unusual tasks he takes on, he's a real star IMO
Plus, he's a conservative
Hmmm.. After this C&C update, I wonder if Jeff’s work would qualify as a “dirty job”? Anyone know how to submit Jeff for Mike Rowe’s show?
I recently found his podcast, which I find very entertaining.... ESPECIALLY when he interviews his mother, about once a month.
"The Way I Heard It"
Check it out!
😷I had to take my son to the ER near Seattle, WA, this week and was surprised to see a huge sign at the entry requiring masks. Another smaller sign explained the areas where masks are required and that this policy was effective beginning Dec 5, 2023. I took photos for my own documentation; at one time I wanted to create a book filled with “The Signs of Our Times.”🫤
Oh, by the way, I didn’t wear a mask and no one said a thing to me. But almost everyone else was masked up.
Courage
If you’ve read Cormac McCarthy’s dark and beautiful novel All the Pretty Horses, you’ll remember the key question that Emilio Perez asks John Grady, one that cuts to the core of life and what we all must do to live a life worth living.
“The world wants to know if you have cojones. If you are brave?”
Resist
Good on you! Hope your son is okay.
Seems maybe mandated behind the pharmacy counter at CVS, all the employees seem to wear them—I think they had stopped for a while.
I avoid CVS whenever possible.
I had an Aetna Medicare Supplement all of 2023, and my OTC quarterly benefit was ordered from and supplied by CVS. The brands were predominantly (like 93%) CVS brand...
And the cost of my one and only prescription med was higher at CVS...even with Good Rx.
So I asked Alexa who owns AETNA INSURANCE.
CVS does.
CVS is the worst! They have been my PPOs preferred provider as long as I can remember. I have constantly had issues with them. The past year and a half they have not accepted my insurance and every time I have had a rx filled, I have had to have my insurance contact them directly to fill my rx. The past 6 months they wouldn’t fill any rx even with my insurance company calling in for an override. I have had to use a discount service like Good RX. I have spent countless hours on the phone with my insurance and CVS customer service.
The issue has been finally straightened out. Because I live a lifestyle of traveling (motorhome), I get my maintenance rx filled in different states. CVS tried to take advantage of Oklahoma law and is now not filling Maintenance rx for out of state insurance companies, forcing people to use mail in rx. I suspect this move bungled up their whole system as I was not even able to fill a rx for an antibiotic in another state. I will not use CVS and would not recommend them to anyone. When this issue finally resolved, I was informed by their customer service this was an Oklahoma issue. In my opinion, corporate is giving their customer service misinformation maybe even disinformation. Corporate greed at its best! Sorry for the rant, mostly just venting.
https://kfor.com/news/local/cvs-caremark-prescription-decision-ends-90-day-prescriptions-for-some-in-oklahoma/amp/
I work in a pharmacy and we hate calling CVS for prescription transfers. They WILL NOT answer the phone. We've been on hold for over an hour at times. It seems they are so short staffed and so busy that the phone is the least of their concerns. To an extent, I understand. There's only so much a person can do.
Took my dad for some tests in December. Stupid masks signs everywhere. We did not wear masks and everyone left us alone. I only saw one couple with them and they looked terrified.
Wastewater, sewage testing is a tax payer funded reality in Michigan, nobody asked us if we wanted to pay for this. It is found especially at our colleges. Yes our state is still tracking Covid cases you will be pleased to know Michigan still has no flu cases hasn’t had any for 3 years now. Go figure and the official math stinks they need to go back to school and learn how to add.
Disney also seems to be groomers paradise and pedo central and has been for a while now. It is not some where I wish to take my young ones or teens.
Michigan leadership is evil. Whitmer and her girls are horrible.
Evil is a perfect name for Michigan’s top 3.
She wants to be president in the worst way too
She would be a president in the worst way. BTW, are you related to the enema company?
I wish
She would be terrible as president..... probably equal to what Hilary would have been. She tried very hard to be Biden's VP.....it would have been terrible for the country but maybe better for Michigan to have been rid of her.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤡
Speaking of Whitmer for pres: my local rag ran an Op-Ed today by a guy named Carl P Leubsdorf. It was his crystal ball month-by-month for ‘24. Whitmer wins the Dem nomination on the third ballot at the Chicago DNC. Whitmer then becomes the first woman pres, defeating Trump 333-205 (Electoral College).
That is the stuff of nightmares.
Makes me so happy I’m retired. I’m NOT paying for the poo analysis.
Do you live in Michigan? Chances are you are still paying state income tax even if retired.
Yes, you’re right. 😕
Weird. No flu! We've had a ton of ferocious flu B here in GA, but I haven't heard a peep about COVID🤔
As far as the Newsweek headline goes, I remember reading that a large percentage of people only read headlines and the MSM "journalists" know this.
And of those that actually read an article, less than 10% will ever see a retraction even if it is published. Journalism is one giant scam.
newsweek used to be somewhat readable, but in these last years, has shown its true face. another rag to clean up poop with.
What not good enough to wrap your daily catch?...
make sure the ideas don't give off onto your catch though ! LOL
Full disclosure, headlines are written by editors, not the writers.
Another example of media laziness/shortcuts beyond the stock photo misinformation: Facebook posts. My mom is one of the few remaining loyal subscribers of our pitiful birdcage liner KC Star newspaper. I will peruse her copy from time to time and rather than contact actual citizens for commentary to flesh out an article, they cherry pick FB comments that of course fit whatever narrative it is they are trying to spin. Never mind if the comments run 2 or 3 to one AGAINST their narrative de jour, they just cherry pick the juiciest ones that agree with them and call it a day. Print media journalism is dead as a doornail.
I have this exact thing going on w my parents. They are incredulous and irritated that we don’t read the local paper when we’re there, then say we’re addicted to our devices....as we’re sitting there reading the news. Lol, it’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t read their local paper if I got paid to do it.
18 years ago we moved from Denver to our little town on Colorado’s western border. The local paper was a conservative relief from the liberal Denver Post. A few years later it was bought and converted to liberal garbage. So sad. Canceled the paper. Canceled cable. Now I find news on sites like this that have demonstrated the desire to seek truth amid the lies.
Same thing happened to the Daily Oklahoman which was formerly the most right leaning paper in the country. E.K. Gaylord is spinning in his grave.
Funny you said this... my parents are in Colorado Springs. Let me just say that it is a VERY different place than where I grew up. Also, their paper is horrible.
My wife picks up old newspapers from her weekly visits to her brother. I find them very useful, and would have a hard time starting the fires in my wood stove without them. I used to make it a point to read Dilbert before it was removed for the author's wrong think reversal on the Covid dogma, but now I just crumple all of the paper unread.
Yeah, I actually liked reading the daily newspaper. In print. Subscribed way longer than we should have as I justified it by saying it did keep us abreast of local news and events. But after the Trump election in 2016 I couldn't take it any more and cancelled. Vast majority of content today is AP or other newspapers like the WaPo, not much local any more. Skeleton crew of local reporters compared to ~20 years ago, and all token conservatives are long gone. Mom is 85, her assisted living place has about a dozen subscribers -suspect a lot of their subscriber base is the same demographic.
Check out the Epoch Times in Print. I really like it. My local Kroger has it available
Exactly. My parents are 83 and 91. (Still living in their own home with no help, which makes me happy)
How wonderful for both you & them!
It’s amazing!
That's awesome! Mom had been on her own since my dad passed in 2014, had downsized to an apartment but was needing more and more help. Mentally she is sharp but physically she was never in great shape and 2 years of sheltering in place left her unable to even make it through the grocery store without 'her legs giving out'. One thing led to another and she moved to assisted living this summer. She is now 5 minutes away, vs 30 minutes before. She was bound and determined to hate it but the socialization has been really good for her.
These zero covid people need to start aiming at the origins of covid like these bio labs. Just like those who say you are killing grandma, IT'S THE ILLEGAL GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE US GOVERNMENT THAT IS KILLING GRANDMA, not me. Instead of trying to mandate masks they need to be protesting the biolabs. Or do these idiots still believe this came from bat soup?
Bat soup eaten by a pangolin.
And that pangolin then serially passed it through ferrets. Ferrets that the pangolin had bred to have humanized ACE2 receptors.

Want to protect yourself from infection by contact with wastewater? Stop swimming in the cesspool.
I realize that, for progressives, complying with such a command requires a complete change of lifestyle. But hey, sometimes you gotta sacrifice for the greater good!
Bill Gates wants us to drink wastewater.
California approved "Toilet to Tap" weeks ago. That is probably why so much testing is going on with wastewater across the country.
We will all be drinking it soon.

Hate to break it to you all, but all water you drink is wastewater. Especially those of you that live inland away from the Great Lakes. Sorry. Spent ten years of my working life in sewage unfortunately.
i love living downstream of the Progressive Pooping Class Elites of my community; i get free pharmaceuticals in my water and get to pay out the As- for it.
I know most of Europe does. Otherwise, it is very polluted 'cleaned' water. Most of the bottled water is 'puriefied' water as well. And, well, animals poop too, and it all sips into the ground, and then it ends up in my well I guess LOL. P is not poisonous. If you look at some lotions and creams, they have Urea in it. That is P

Rich Earth Institute. Summer 2022, knew from soil lab test that all my soil needed was N--bought 50# bags of bloodmeal (each setting me back some $136 each bag). Last summer, only used our urine. Cabbages were amazing in size and health (no bugs).
Pretty cool. One dose? Repeated? If the latter, what interval? Wouldna thunk it. Does Rich Earth Institute instruct on such? (Quick reply. I'll search Rich Earth Institute a bit later.)
For my garden, 5 gal urine would do the season's N in each 100 sq foot bed. It has to be diluted, and I made repeated 'offerings'. Spent a whopping lot of time calculating the urine required to provide the N required--good thing I like to play with arithmetic.
Ah ha. In my case, good thing they invented calculators. Thanks for the info!
I remember from our history lessons, that in old Rome they had carts to collect early morning urine and treated skin conditions with it. better to use these old remedies that do not poison us! Thanks for the link
Urine was used by the fullers to clean those woolen garments. Emperor Vespasian got clever -- taxed the urine vessels placed along street for those needing a quick break (Italian son-in-law tells me they are still sometimes called "Vespasians" [haven't looked into this---I imagine the tax was paid by the fullers who needed the urine, not by those filling the vessels. On the other hand, how many public toilets in Europe are 'pay-to-use'?
The only story I got in history lessons was "Regardez l'eau!" Nothing on remedies. Only learned of therapeutic uses since advent of the plandemic.
On vacation in Spain recently my rental car warning went off with a "UREA" warning and wouldn't stop.
It was about 20 km before I realized the diesel needed Ad Blue.
(Not familiar with diesel engines and didn't know why they would need ammonia added to the fuel.)
Maybe I shoulda just peed in the tank.
Good point to explain all the testing that is going on.
and another reason to leave CAcalifornia if you haven't yet
I imagine we all have been anyway--for a long time. Where does the wastewater-treatment-plant effluent go? Into the rivers? I fear it may be time to look seriously at a Berkee
Anybody who is drinking Dasani ,Aquafina, or any other brand owned by a too big to fail corporation probably already is. Reverse osmosis is used on a variety of feedstock, and you can bet these ghouls avail themselves of the cheapest available.
What could go wrong?
That man can go jump in a lake, no pun intended. I love my well on my property.
They got poop 💩 for brains. 😅😅😅 this poop hysteria has me laughing hysterically!🤣🤣🤣
I mean, we're all in this together, amiright? 😉
I hate to tell you but God is the only one who can save us, repent your sins and plant yourself with Him, man is not a god, he cannot save you.
Good morning and Happy New Year from the west coast. 😃
Here’s a novel concept. How about encouraging people to wash their hands, especially after using the loo!
Instead of “stay home save lives”. It could just be “wash your gross hands!” 🤣
I said that about schools before Covid ! Have the little kiddos line up before lunch and teach them to wash those hands !!
There is no etiquette or self discipline of any kind taught in the US anymore (schools)..and I consider a habit of washing hands before meals ( especially for children) good etiquette and/or manners.
And washing hands whenever coming inside--especially after shopping (always did this with my little ones)
Remember that huge hand washing circular sink, 10 kids could fit around it, and it was a novelty to press the foot bar to activate the water. The only gross part was the gritty soap, was that borax?
Yes!! Wash thy hands! 🙌🏼
The media banks on the fact that readers today have the attention span of a toddler and no desire to investigate anything. They take in what they are spoon fed by the clown show media and they repeat it over and over. When I was young, The Enquirer was the worst tabloid and we made fun of it, now it is the daily news.
When my son was in 4th grade he had a weekly assignment to read a newspaper article and do a report on it. This was during the Michael Jackson hearings and I told the teacher I did not want him (intentionally) exposed to what was going on. He was 9! She said any article was fine, so every week I bought the National Enquirer and he picked an article from that to report on. My favorite was the Nazi raccoons. He said the other kids were jealous because he got to read funny stuff. Why do we want our children exposed to the BS going on. Children should retain their innocence. The world will strip them of it soon enough.
How did I manage to miss Nazi raccoons?
My real favorite was the expoding priest but he was in Catholic school...
