Had dinner with a guy and his wife from our church. He's out here going to medical school and we've been friends with them. The subject of v-ccines came up and he mentioned that the valley (Portland to Eugene in Oregon) is the most unvaccinated area in the US. I told them I no longer v-x my child/ren and gave them the books Dissolving Illusions and Turtles all the Way Down. They said they'd read them

He mentioned that in clinical doctors are telling him that parents arenā€™t just questioning the COVID v-ccine, theyā€™re now pushing back on all of them! #winning

I hope so. my daughter just had a baby and I'm scared to death she's going to vax him. And I even got her the book Turtles all the way down my heart is breaking šŸ’”

Tell her to never allow her doctor to scare or pressure her into vaccinating. Always politely tell the dr that you will not do any procedures on this visit and would like to go home and research. Those ā€œwell-checkā€ visits are the most manipulative and coercive appointments. The doctors take advantage of tired parents and start the fear campaign. Theyā€™ll tell her things like- if you donā€™t get the prevnar vaccine, your child will get pneumonia. I got my child the prevnar vaccine and my child got pneumonia. Tell her to contact me if she needs the other side of the discussion bc her pediatrician wonā€™t be giving her full informed consent.

An oldie but a goodie is this book by the late Dr. Robert Mendelsohn:

ā€œHow to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctorā€

Encourage parents to forego ā€œwell baby visitsā€, from which those who are vaccinated leave never to be completely well again, and never to reach their full potential.

Additionally, if a pediatrician is one who has vaccines on-site, and who vaccinates his patients, time to find a new doctor.

For those in NY, Dr. Larry Palevsky is a pediatrician who does not vaccinate, and hasnā€™t for some 20 years. We need doctors like Dr. Palevsky, who donā€™t poison children, destroying their health, development, independence, fertility, and longevity.

Yes. I would say forgo the well visits. It's like going to bank when you don't need to withdraw money etc. I think now they are gathering info to be used against you. If this scamdemic taught us one thing is to NOT trust the doctors and medical community.

Excellent book! His chapter on fevers changed me forever, took away all fear and helped me to understand the only two times a high fever can be dangerous: when overheated from an external source, such as being stuck in a hot car, or from food poisoning. In all other cases of fever, the body has a shut-off mechanism to keep it from going too high, and is a necessary function to kill off pathogens and viruses. If only all new parents understood this, would save so many issues for those kids being pumped full of pharmaceuticals to bring down the fever (creating a whole other host of issues).

I agree. Find a functional medicine doctor. But sometimes this is too big of a step for parents who think a pediatrician from the hospitalā€™s recommended list is needed. So first plant the seed and tell them what to expect. Theyā€™ll be more receptive when they see the playbook. Always encourage switching to functional med doctors, though.

Dawn B,

Good riddance with regard to not returning to the willfully ignorant, pridefully arrogant, possibly corrupt pediatrician. If he is okay with harming his patients on a regular and frequent basis via vaccinations, then he is likely okay with harming them via pharmaceuticals, unnecessary testing and procedures, and plenty of terrible advice.

Not sure which state you live in, but when I lived in CA, I did a little bit of research and quickly discovered that a parent could opt their child out of the sports physical by writing a letter to the principal of the school stating ā€œI do not consent to a sports physical for my child.ā€ Check your stateā€™s laws. So often (almost always), schools lie to parents about what is required, be it vaccinations (no shots, no school), or sports physicals (must have one).

Yes ignorance...

Doctors just follow orders like police and teachers etc. I was an ignorant teacher 25 yrs and quit over the masks. Then I started researching and realized the world is much worse than I thought.

Absolutely agree! Be prepared for the fear tactics and they do not back down from a simple no we arenā€™t doing that. They push the flu vaccine so hard and act so shocked when you say no. They say oh wow itā€™s going to be a really bad flu season are you sure? Yes Iā€™m sure. Then their whole mood changes because they donā€™t get to make extra money and put another tally mark to collect their officeā€™s bonus for hitting the next target. We have seen the documents now showing this, itā€™s real, itā€™s not a conspiracy theory.

OR skip the ā€œwell childā€ visits entirely. Theyā€™re only designed around the v-ax schedule. We never see docs unless absolutely necessary.

Not an option in Florida. Not sure what state you live but even private schools here require a visit before school starts. My daughter is in a private school and thereā€™s no way around this, we never go otherwise and would never go voluntarily. Home school would be the only way to avoid entirely.

The well-visits, besides being scheduled around the vax schedule, are meant to convince you that the doctor knows your child better than you do. Just setting up compliance mentality for the future.

Make sure your daughter knows how easy it is to get exemption. It is very easy. I wish someone had told me!. If your daughter is just pro vax that wonā€™t matter. But I only allowed my My daughter, who is 9 now, to get it because back then I thought well itā€™s probably fine and how will she go to school without them. My child is healthy, thank God, but I am so upset with myself for taking that risk. Now these vaccines also include sterilization and other evils to promote depopulation.

Annette and Nancy- my oldest kids are full schedule vaxed thru 4yo. I think 2/3 show side effects that are likely compounded by other factors (diet, my diet while pregnant, environmental toxins, etc). At this point I can only pray and trust that God will take care of them in spite of my many mistakes (not limited to vaccines).

Vax detox. High vit C, sunlight (& donā€™t forget early & sunset too.)

I just did a search & this popped up. https://naturallymademom.com/how-to-detox-children-from-vaccines

Reasonable and do-able. Two of her recommendations are supplements of forms of thuja and silica. Well, I learned about thuja for detoxing the cv jab. It is good olā€™ Arbor Vitae. A very nice tea is made from a handful of those layered needly sprigs & can be used safely a few times a day. (But, do NOT use thuja OIL internally! I avoid altogether. )

I use scrounged native, horsetail for my silica ā€” cold-brewed all day or hot tea, cooled ā€”but it is available in tincture form.

If you search on "vitamin c and vaccines" there are more articles out there too especially on the www.orthomolecular.org select "Library", select "News Releases" site. Turns out high doses of vitamin c can take care of alot of toxins. going back to Dr. Frederick Klenner, Dr. Robert Cathcart ... Dr. Thomas Levy is today a foremost expert on high dose vitamin c therapy..... there is a ton of info out there. http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v08n07.shtml

Vitamin C Prevents Vaccination Side Effects; Increases Effectiveness

Casually mention that there is zero liability for any vaccine manufacturer if her child happens to have one of those (not so) "rare" adverse reactions. Does any other manufacturer ANYWHERE have complete immunity of liability for their product? Especially a product that is "required" by the government, to attend daycare or school? If someone had told me that, I would've looked closer, for sure. As it was (thankfully) my children were mostly vaxxed prior to 1987, when big pharma "coverage" went into effect. Still, I completely regret letting them get jabbed.

Expand full comment

This is great!! Iā€™m glad people are questioning everything now! I used to think vaccines were helpful and safe for the vast majority and had only minimal suds effects (except for HPV, was never on board for that one, also Hep B because I didnā€™t see the need). Now I want to see loads of clear hard evidence to prove safety and efficacy before I even consider taking another one and my child is done with them, when heā€™s an adult, he can make up his own mind (hopefully heā€™ll be skeptical) but Iā€™m not inflicting any more on him.

I apologized to my adult children and said I was sorry I was so trusting and blind to get them vaccinated. They hugged me and were shocked I think. I want that day to be forever pressed in their memory. So they don't make my mistakes.

The System operates on lies. People make money off of lies. Some people make money adopting to advantage themselves of lies. And some, the most of us, earn their daily bread in a System of Lies not fully understanding that they exist in a world where everything is basically a lie. It has taken me a lifetime of travel to 'get out from under' the pernicious demonic atrocity called the government and education of Man which has led us to civilizational ruin. To free oneself from habitually told lies paraded as truth is about the most difficult thing a person can do.

Although now and for sometime an Reformed orthodox Christian, I was brought up in the Christian Science belief. And so, by happy inculcated reflex I seldom saw doctors at all. Only in rare circumstances. I did get the polio vaccine and one flu shot. But that's all. The short of it is that I managed to elude all the medical crap only by a happy accident of birth. If the circumstances had been different? A real open question!

Edit: And as an afterthought, and when the Pandemic That Never Was struck, I checked the Christian Science Monitor to see what they were saying. Incredibly, the Christian Science Monitor contained editorials advising Christian Scientists to get the shots? There reasoning was that 'matter' and 'mortal mind' could never hurt anyone so long as they 'knew the truth' of Divine Science. It looks like the Christian Scientists caved to government and folded on principle. Go figure!

Iā€™ve told my kids my biggest regret with regard to parenting was getting them vaccinated. Especially since I knew in my gut it was wrong. But I wasnā€™t strong enough to stand up to the doctors and I had no one else that felt the same. At least my last one wasnā€™t vaccinated till she was 5, so her list is short. But my oldest got almost all of them. And heā€™s the one that had the most issues. If I could turn back timeā€¦

I just told my daughter who is turning 17 that I am sorry I did that to her and her brother who is 16. I didn't know. If I knew then what I know now I don't know that I would have gotten them any vaccines. They didn't get covid shots and they aren't getting the 2nd dose of the 2 dose meningitis vaccine, but that is the last one they both were scheduled to get I think. So unfortunately they got all the others.

I lived in Oregon my whole life until two years ago so hello! You know, I think royally messing up the COVID vaccine and trying to push it on innocent children was the greatest thing the CDC has ever done for parent empowerment. Both of my children got most of their vaccines (I did a delayed schedule and forewent unnecessary ones like rotovirus) but I definitely got push-back from the doctors (why don't you do more XYZ to catch them up faster, etc). Now that they harmed so many people and children with the COVID vaccine, I have ZERO problem saying no to boosters and vaccines. I feel like telling the CDC, "When you make a public apology and rescind all of your support for the COVID vaccine and financially and emotionally reimburse every last person whose child got a COVID vaccine, then I will consider listening to your recommendations. Until then, just continue telling me how men should chestfeed and I'll continue to never take your advice." I

Wait, what?..pumping their own gas? I thought full service gas stations went away in the 80ā€™s.

Expand full comment

New Jersey and Oregon were the last holdouts. Now it's just New Jersey. And "full service" is hardly the right term for the gas stations. You need to pay someone to pump your gas. They don't check tires, clean windows, check oil, or any of that. They just take your card, run it through the machine, and then pump your gas. It's a really strange experience when you come from ... just about any other state. It's also really annoying when there's one person working for a station with 12-16 pumps.

Not really sure the reasoning behind these laws. I could maybe see that way back in the day there might have been some odd health concern, but otherwise it looks like a way to keep people employed for a job that's not really needed in most cases. (There are some cases where people really can't pump their own gas, but most people seem to get by just fine once they figure out how to operate those strange machines. :) )

I will say that I noticed gas prices for NJ were lower than NY the couple of times I've had to get gas there, even with a person paid to do a job I could do. Says something about taxes, I'm pretty sure.

I live here in the W Valley too. That info about Oregon is great to knowā€¦and also astonishing since PDX, Salem and Eugene are the only real bastions of fanatical wokeness In the State (well, and Bend). Plenty of small-town, farm, & country independent Oregonians in between, though, quietly living amidst.

My grown kids & grandparent friends (threatened w/ no visits w/ grandkids) got the jab. But, as I always have my ear to the ground, I note how little impacted we are compared to the rest of the nation (& world!) ā€” nobody has (& much less, knows) the horror stories I read about (in non-msm) everywhere.

So I want to mention another thing: Batches.

Iā€™m convinced (so far) that we here were delivered much less toxic batches or possibly even saline ā€”- with enough adjuvants still in the jabs to give them the sore arm, yucky, sick days following , etc ā€” EXACTLY what they were told to expect were the usual and ONLY side effects! Thus confirming the lies & affirming the blessing promised by the ā€œscienceā€ ā€” and guaranteeing their ongoing compliance! Both a mercy ā€¦and a trap for this maverick blue state

Weird! People here just go along as ever. Some are savvy, but many ā€” especially my busy offspring ā€” think Iā€™m a tipover case & donā€™t read any of the stuff Iā€™ve sent them these last years. I donā€™t even try any more. My credibility with them is in shreds. They just donā€™t SEE it.

Meanwhile I wait and pray with apprehension, one eye ever scanning for delayed signs of clots, neuro, heart/organ damage & other myriad ā€œside effectsā€. (& Iā€™m ready with my arsenal of curative whatnot).

One consequence of our apparent escape from the full assault is that in future, these folks are apt to get whatever new or continuing poison theyā€™ve told is beneficial & necessary, trusting ā€œthe scienceā€ more than ever.

After allā€¦

Youā€™re speaking of the very fertile Willamette Valley Oregon. Arenā€™t there a number of ethnic groups? I know in particular of a large slavic farming community who were never very interested in politics, never voted. But in recent years they saw the direction our country was going, put out the call for their community to register to vote, and recommended conservative candidates. Willamette Valley groups like that might have skewed the vaccinated numbers down. If you're on FB you can find them at Slavic Vote...you'll be inspired to see what they're doing.

I believe that. There are are lot of free thinkers in Oregon but why the disconnect with the Covid shot and lockdowns and mandates? It seems far too many in the valley, and even over here in Central Oregon were happy to roll up their sleeves for grandma and the good of the people. They masked in Whole Foods, to the point of acting like Naziā€™s if one didnā€™t. They bragged about their fully vaccinated Thanksgivings. They called the unvaccinated dirty swines. They thought Kate Brown was doing a good job with the pandemic.

The disconnect was baffling to me, a life-long Oregonian. Note, Iā€™m an artist so my circle has more than itā€™s share of covidians, which while puzzling to me, it saw a lot of shot-lovers. Maybe because theyā€™ve never had to run a real business, theyā€™ve always worked for woke corporations and taught school, who knows. They are true liberals. So, back to my original question, why were they so eager to take the shot?

Expand full comment

Not sure, but it is a conundrum.

One of the differences here is that the state govt did not tread TOO heavily. Other states, with the same mandates as OR, imposed harsh penalties and used LE in shocking ways against the people. Conversely, enforcement here was lax or absent. I think they knew theyā€™d better not push it too far. And, they concentrated efforts in crazy Portland (enabling mayhem).

Pretty smart move. We have guns and big trucks. We pretty much set an imaginary cordon & contained toxic Portland like sacks circling an oil spill. I live not 40 minutes away & havenā€™t been there since early 2020. No plans to visit either.

So, to your question? Especially the artists and indie types which abound here? It is, I think, because it was THEIR people in the govt.

and THEYā€™re good! Soā€¦ Also itā€™s THEIR experts, THEIR bloggers and in-the-know podcasters either they or someone of influence listens to. Thereā€™s more, but Iā€™ll leave it there.

I too question the stat of non-jabbed residents in the valley. I was removed and /or denied service from more than one business for not wearing a face diaper. My daughter the same (proud of her!) had the police called on her for shopping without a face diaper. I did enjoy the empty freeways for a couple weeks though!

The Wilammette Vally is beautiful and productive as many have said, but it is book-end by college towns, Portland in the north and Eugene at the south. Salem, the state capitol known as the marble nut house is right in the middle. The valley is ringed by vineyards, which seem to generate their own peculiar clientele. This is destroying the essence of free hard working agricultural Yamhill County, as it has destroyed Multnomah County.

I go along with the theory presented earlier that Oregon, assumed to be liberal already, was spared the worse of the bad jab juice. Me thinks that was to be made up with future 'boosts'.

This has been a tremendous thread and an educational joy to read, thanks to all that have participated. And jokingly as the sign said when I moved here long ago, "Please visit but don't stay".

No I talked to several lawyers and they were all every pessimistic about the whole situation. All of them said it was unlikely anything could be done since I didnā€™t contact them from the beginning.

If it goes to a jury trial Iā€™ll have to find a lawyer but seriously I have no idea how they can hold me to anything they are claiming I did wrong! I have a ton of evidence in the documents. It helps that she is a nurse honestly because she understands the standards of practice etc. the investigator with the BON I have on my case now isnā€™t a nurse so she doesnā€™t understand what she is looking at. It will probably be pushed to a ā€œnurse investigator and a board of nursing lawyerā€ and at that point they should see there are no legal ground to ā€œconvictā€ me of anything!

RobertKennedyJr: ā€œWe Have 4.2% of the Global Population. How Come We Had 16% of the COVID Deaths?ā€ ā€œWhatever they [US health authorities] were doing was catastrophic.ā€

COVID death rate by country:

ā€¢ US - 3,000 per million population

ā€¢ Haiti - 15 per million population

ā€¢ Nigeria - 14 per million population

The argument against such figures is that Haiti and Nigeria have much younger populations, which is true. But if you look at Japan, which ā€œhas the oldest population in the world, and it had 1/10th the death rate that we did.ā€

Kennedy concluded, ā€œIt was not a public health response. It was a militarized and monetized response to a public health crisis.ā€

Expand full comment

Many "with covid" deaths were classified as "from covid" deaths but that's only part of the reason. The biggest reason IMO is that the US population is seriously unhealthy, racked by obesity and diabetes. Sugary drinks are awful for people as are other sugar-laden foods made from refined carbs and seed oils. People eat a softball-sized muffin for breakfast (which is nothing more than cake without the frosting) and somehow think it's healthy.

As much as it pains me to admit it, this is where the libs have exercised better judgement than most conservatives. They recognized the processed food companies were selling poison long before most people on our side. Just look at the size of people at Trump rallies, it's not good.

We focus on the horribly self-destructive actions of the homosexual/trans agenda and the vax damage, but ignore the junk food poisoning happening all around us. In the mean time Americans get bigger and bigger. It will not end well.

I refuse to take the statins because nothing Iā€™ve seen shows it actually stops heart problems. My mom had a hard time taking any of them and granted she had a triple bypass but now they have her on one and her cholesterol is below 100 but they want it lower?!? She has other problems like BP and vertigo that I wonder how much is tied to the actual medicine she takes. I have been trying more natural ways to manage mine and had success this past Dr visit. Hopefully continuing what Iā€™m doing plus losing some weight (hmm, how much of that is tied to health problems??) I can get is lower. Biggest problem with modern medicine is not wanting to get to the root of the issues. More medicine = more money for everyone but the patient.

If we think about big medicine as a business, which it is, then if it does not turn a profit, it will go out of businesses. A cured customer is money lost.

Antibiotics not needed either! Except in some acute cases, yes. But, UTIā€™s & the like? Much harm, little good. There are so many natural a-bs.

Can disrupt gut flora, thoā€™), high vit C, propolis, many many more good ones ā€” & they blitz in differing ways, so itā€™s a multi-pronged attack; you can use them together. Foods, drinks, sunlight (D). Turm, mullein, lemon, honeyā€¦

I'm with you! I will take anything natural and it will probably work faster and better, too. Oregano oil is powerful for fungal overgrowth, too.

Expand full comment

Exactly the same w/ my mom. Once they get past a certain age, sayā€¦80s (or under), HMO Drs will not mention the weight of their patients. And the bp and vertigo is never associated w/ the blood thinners; the pains are never associated with the beta blockers, drug interactions or the other cardio crap the Cardiologist doles out. Never side-effects.

One by one we got Mom off them. First, nutrition & supps to offset the effects of the meds. (I used the Mendel book & others) Second, same strategies to safely achieve the same goals and reverse the underlying problems.

At first, my stubborn Mom, who loved her idiot, flattering Dr., would angrily halt any mention of the debilitating symptoms being side-effects! I finally just stopped talking & quietly set the book on the table in front of her, open to the page. She read. She said, ā€œYouā€™re rightā€. And thus began the shift. Her pains did not take long to go away. Then the blood thinners were stopped & we compensated safely & naturally. She no longer had to rest on the kitchen counter & use it as a support in navigating around the kitchen. We worked on sleep & excercise too.

As her trust in me increased, she more willingly listened and went along. 4 pieces of toast every morning went down to just 2. Added good fats (curb & sate appetite), pastured proteins, (no seed oils) and way less sugary stuff. (allowed was a couple of dark choc covered macadamia nutsā€”good fats, good nuts, & good, yummy choc w/out too much sugar ā€” she loved rich deserts & everything sweet. Favorite food: bread & butter. The below example shows part of the diet I tailored to her particular likes and situation; everything in it has a manifold purpose & function.

First a m. sit down , she took an enzyme w/ real juice & coffee. while I fixed breakfast ā€” her 2 slices of sprouted wh toast were slathered w/ coconut oil & pastured butter, ginger jam, w/ grated org. orange peel & cinnamon, served with 2 pastured eggs, fruit yoghurt & some supps. (& enzymes, pre- & probiotic foods) šŸ‘†šŸ¼Just an example: All food ought to be seen as EITHER healing or damaging. Forms matter immensely. Thereā€™s way too much to relate ā€” so much to learn!!!

But, she began to get stronger and to drop weight. There were other health issues too, and it gets complicated to relate how we also addressed them. But the improvements her overall health and well-being was great for us both to see.

A very careful approach is necessary. The drugs often have to be stopped slowly ā€” in the proper way, incrementally. A weaning period (consult w/doc). They all have various half-lives as well. So itā€™s imperative that one reads everything available on everything. Interactions are very important, too. This includes many food & supp interactions, too.

I encourage you and your Mom to continue and to never let the bā€¦.rds get you down.

Itā€™s not easy.

But 1) undo the harm

2) Do no harm

3) Heal.

A good Functional or Integrative MD can be a Godsend!

He took statins for s short while but stopped when the nightly muscle cramps just became too much and the doc just wanted to ADD another RX to suppress the side effects of the first.

He's done/is doing a lot of research into diet, supplements and minerals, natural cures. Turmeric with black pepper, magnesium, boron, Celtics salt and iodine are just a few things he's researched.

If we know WHY, we can begin the path you took with your husband. Break the chain. We can help others to do the same.

We know that foods (incl bevs) have differing (and manifold) medical effects both in the body and by interacting (+/-) with, counteracting, or replacing the drugs.

That book I linked just now in the post above is so helpful with sorting through all that stuff & helped me so much w/ further web searches for more info.

Iā€™m also glad that Functional (& Integrative) Medicine is on the rise. I see in future Hospitals and nursing homes dedicated to interdisciplinary healing. The proverbial limp in and leap out! Unfortunately, Iā€™m also seeing the large Med systems (Providence, Kaise, for example) have their ā€œin houseā€ alternative Funct/Integ practicioners, but itā€™s largely eyewash. In name only. Itā€™s still: drugs & surgery foremost always & weā€™ll let a poorly educated naturopath tack on on a good diet & exercise plan to coordinate with our prescription blood thinners, beta blockers, implants etc etc etc.

So great to know youā€™re doing it. God Bless you and your husband richly!

I do understand that, it's a vicious cycle.

This is where conservatives made a huge mistake. We allowed our free-market principles to be corrupted into trust of big business (food companies, pharma, medical industry). We allowed our defense of freedom to be corrupted into people's right to gorge themselves on garbage. NYC implemented a tax on sugary drinks and "conservatives" (big business lackeys actually) reflexively attacked it as violating people's right to poison themselves.

Thankfully the whole Covid vax catastrophe has woken people up, many conservatives now realize being pro-free market doesn't mean multi-national corporations are worthy of our trust. In fact it's the opposite. Hopefully they'll take that thinking a bit further and realize the libs had a good point when attacking McDonalds, Coca-Cola, and the like as incredibly destructive entities.

I still donā€™t agree with that tax and I do think people should have the right to eat unhealthy treats if they want. But yes, we should take more responsibility as individuals for our health and know what weā€™re putting in our bid yes and what consequences that might have.

Expand full comment

I don't think they should be banned, but I have no problem with a tax on sugary drinks (or tobacco, alcohol, gambling, etc.) if it's enacted by the elected representatives. These things do cause societal harm, and there's a price to pay for that.

My issue is that the organizations that profit from these vices (for lack of a better word) manipulate the "liberty" people into arguing their case for them. Sugar, like cigarettes, is incredibly addictive and wreaks havoc on society. If the elected representatives want to tax that they are entirely within their rights IMO. If the people don't like it they can vote them out and repeal it. I don't think such taxes are very effective, but that's a whole different issue.

The problem as I see it, is that people have become conditioned into viewing any constraint on their behavior as unreasonable when some constraints are required for a functioning society. It's the whole issue where people confuse "liberty" with licentiousness.

We can discuss if these taxes are effective, a good idea, or even needed. But the idea that a tax on a harmful product somehow violates people's liberty is pretty hard to defend. Yet that is what's invariably trotted out. And it's exactly where the left's caricature of us as Neanderthal "muh freedumb" people originated, with some justification IMO.

Agree. Obesity puts one into the vulnerable population category, yes? Puts stress on body systems / compromises the immune system which can't keep up with the constant insult of stresses to allow the body to heal... Yadda. "It will not end well." Sadly true.

This seems like a good time to insert that I wish family practice MD's, and others, would do a much better job of telling their obese patients how it is. As in, you need to drop the extra weight and start right now, and hear all the reasons why. Those of us with obese extended family members certainly thank you for it.

Expand full comment

Most have no advice that is helpful, I say as a former family practice doc. It wasn't until I read Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes that I realized the hormonal effect of macronutrients. (Why didn't they teach us helpful things like this in medical school?) Anyway, when I reduced the amount of carbs I was eating (an astonishing amount, I realized), I lost weight without trying to (and without 'needing' to, but it was very welcome) and no longer experienced self-induced hypoglycemic lows that led to eating more to get my blood glucose back up.

I realize that many doctors don't have a clue about weight loss. But even they would have to know that being obese is not healthy. If they would at least start there, and inform the patient of the problems of being so overweight, it would be at least something to get the patient to think.

I don't fit the profile so have never been admonished by a physician on the subject. I can't speak to what is said or isn't but I suspect that it's not much with respect to what's really happening in the body. I suspect it's a canned speech. Also suspect that patients who have heard it, have heard it on repeat. It can't feel good. I don't know who Lizzo and fans think they're fooling. Well, themselves.

Underneath, personally speaking, there is sorrow and sadness. As for extended family members, I have an adult child that fits the profile. The condition is a source of emotional pain, and I'm positive that in large part the origins have to do with unresolved trauma, manifesting physically as layers of protection. Except that the physical layers do nothing to protect. It's complex. Not as straightforward as putting the mind to losing weight. The wounds are deep.

I understand your good intent. Not arguing, not in the least. Just looking at the complexity of human beings and thinking aloud at the keyboard. I agree 100% that obesity itself is a setup for a worse situation. I sure don't have answers. Every situation is different. I do have an issue with celebrating obese bodies: they are not healthy bodies. As said, a setup.šŸ˜”

The difficulty I have with presentations like hers is that even though I'm a (retired) physician, I'm not a pathologist or other laboratorian, so I don't feel like I have enough knowledge to critique what is presented. Could she be misinterpreting something? I couldn't say. And there's so much propaganda from all sides these days that I'm skeptical of everyone and everything.

Expand full comment

Very fair.

I have watched her presentations here and there for at least a year. I'm not a physician, retired or otherwise, but do have a healthcare background, B.S. level, though retired from that. Couldn't possibly converse or discourse on minutiae but have a solid, at the very least basic understanding.

Could she be misinterpreting something? Like you, I couldn't say. What I can say is that because MSM is having none of her she has aligned herself with the "side" seeking the truth. From memory, she has independently corroborated info presented by Dr. Carrie Madej, and La Quinta Columna. When I start to see the same info from different sources I lean toward giving it credence. Can I independently verify? Nope. I don't have the knowledge or the tools. It's a judgement call. And I could be wrong. Trusting my gut. It's usually right, close to 100% but nothing's perfect. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

When I go to the store, which I try to avoid, I am always marveling at the rows and rows of non-food. Most of it is pure garbage. Few read the labels. My mom, God rest her soul, taught me to cook things that included cans of condensed soup and box mixes. It was not until I was in my 30s that I started to really learn how to cook. Now I'm nearly all scratch.

You're right, American eat an insane amount of sugar, refined everything, GMOs, preservatives, partially hydrogenated whatever, "vegetable" oils and other non-food crap. It's just not food. Then we wonder why we are all so sick.... go figure.

As for obesity, it's now celebrated, don't know know? Calvin Klein ran ads with morbidly obese, unattractive models, as if that's a goal to aspire to. There's a difference between celebrating being a glutton, overweight and unhealthy as opposed to being a decent human being and not being cruel to someone about weight. Society no longer sees that line.

It's really interesting to see what the FDA deems "safe" for us Americans while other countries have BANNED these same items/ingredients. . The thing these other countries have in common is "socialized medicine". They're keeping their costs down, plain and simple. I heard Americans spend double what other countries do on "healthcare" yet we're something like 57th worldwide in "health". Big Pharma gets a lot of their profit from the "rich Americans" so they sell their drugs to other countries much cheaper. That's why people try to go to Canada or Mexico to get their meds. It's also why the US does everything they can to STOP that from happening.

Well said. This is a huge (no pun intended) problem in our country and our culture and youā€™re right, the libs have done better on this issue (partly because many of them are upper middle class and the money, peer pressure and subculture of that group make it easier for them to have good health habits).

But letā€™s also not discount the Covid policies that led to a lot of unnecessary deaths even before the shots came out.

Expand full comment

Completely agree. The public health policies were so bad it's hard to to think they were not intended to be harmful. Couple that with the complete lack of common sense nutrition and fitness advice and it's pretty damning.

My point is that as individualists we should be using common sense rather than trusting corporations and government for nutritional advice. When some entity tells us eating cake for breakfast is healthy, that should make us question what we are being told. Instead people accepted it because they like eating cake.

The libs may have gotten this one right based on the stopped-clock principle, but they did get it right. (Just like they also got the Iraq War right.) This is not a defense of liberalism but pointing out that we need to constantly be questioning what we accept as truth, particularly if it reinforces our existing biases.

I heard RFK Jr say that Climate change deniers should all be locked up. He did listen to Dane Whittington and acted open minded about chemtrails but wasn't convinced. He's pro-abortion but says every abortion is a tragedy because he's Catholic. A couple of weeks ago he said he "won't take away people's guns" because it's "too polarizing", NOT because the 2nd Amendment protects our right to bear arms. He wants more gun control laws because "his family has been touched by gun violence" yet he says the CIA killed his father and uncle. This week, he said he would sign an "assault weapons ban" if Congress put one together. FYI - there's no such thing as an "assault weapon" available for sale in the US. They have deemed an AR15 as an "assault weapon" but it''s just a STYLE of rifle.

I like that he's highlighting the childhood vaccine issue, but he claims he's not an "anti-vaxxer", he just wants more research into the vaccine-autism link.

Neither here nor there in the present context, but I hope Kennedy wakens to the fact (oh the temerity to call it a fact!) that the "public health crisis" was manufactured from the get-go. Ergo, there was no crisis to begin with. Indisputably there was illness, greatest in vulnerable populations, but little different from what happens with populations re morbidity and mortality with respect to infectious disease. Like, say, the flu. Hm.

"Kennedy concluded, 'It was not a public health response. It was a militarized and monetized response to a public health crisis.'"

Expand full comment

My quibble is with "public health crisis" not the militarized and monetized incursion couched as a solution.

My argument is that there was no real public health crisis. They cooked the numbers from the start.

I'm not disputing that there was illness, not at all. Only that the morbidity and particularly mortality was predominantly (but not wholly) in vulnerable populations, the same as stats show historically with other infectious diseases - especially respiratory, like influenza which in worse cases often results in pneumonia which is ultimately a cause of death in these vulnerable people.

Had the numbers not been inflated there was no public health crisis. (Inflated numbers along with the miraculous disappearance from the face of the earth of influenza during the bulk of 2020. I should have screen shotted CDC data pages back then, my error.) The construct of "public health crisis" was manufactured and thrust into the mass consciousness. Kennedy doesn't bring that perspective to his commentary. "It was not a public health response," I read as, This response was not a learned, taken-from-experience-and-the-literature, carefully thought out response to a public health crisis. Therein he acknowledges that there *was* a public health crisis. I disagree: there was no public health crisis.

Splitting hairs? Words matter. Bigly.

Who on Earth designed this program, so that you donā€™t even know if people have symptom #1?! Iā€™m about ready to throw all of the field of public health into the ocean, for the good they seem to be able to do; it might even be an improvement. ā€œ10,000 more cases,ā€ they cry.

But it is interesting that while Buck v Bell (and state equivalents, NC Supreme Court had an equivalent ruling in 1976) have been overridden by other action. For example, in NC, reparations were paid to people who were forced sterilized through the formal state sanctioned program. Similarly, while Korematsu (Japanese internment camp case) has not been overturned, Korematsu was awarded a medal of freedom and other federal executive action has effectively overruled Korematsu.

It never keeps it from happening again, though. It just gives the false impression that the govt has "learned its lesson".

There are many legal minds who say Buck v. Bell has been overridden as you describe, by actions in many of the state's. But it is still the case law of the nation, and was upheld as recently as a 2001 case. And as we are seeing in these times antiquated unused, unoverturned case law is being picked up and dusted off for malicious, selective prosecutions of undesirables. And Buck is very useful to those ends.

Agreed and understood. We need Buck, Korematsu, Jacobson, just to name a few, formally overturned, so we can have a clean slate, where those horrific rulings cannot be used as justification for other actions that restrict the freedoms given to us by our creator.

Expand full comment

Thing is, Gender-affirming care really, truly is eugenics, three generations of imbecile sterilizations.

The attempts at differentiation are based in voluntariness of the person being sterilized. Buck v Bell issue is involuntary sterilization, who qualifies to be involuntarily sterilized.

But what is voluntary? Is coercion voluntary? How coercive is the school and childcare, mental health professional indoctrination and Madison Avenue marketing campaign?

Official contracts include language stating that the signator isn't under coercion or duress. Elements that invalidate consent. And contracts with minors aren't weighted with the full force of law, they cannot consent to major contractual decisions.

Yet minors are given permission to consent to sterilization?!?!

The voluntariness of sterilizing the mentally ill isn't a sturdy legal shield to hide eugenics behind. But...because Buck v. Bell remains settled law the voluntariness issue is an attempt to bypass the restrictions the decision is predicated on. Not the underlying fact that the Supreme Court agreed with a full-throated endorsement of eugenics, asserting stupid, undesirable, mentally ill people shouldn't procreate. That's what Buck v Bell says. It's only quibble with eugenics is the voluntary vs involuntary nature of it. Saying involuntary is ok under a set of conditions the state makes the case for. And "gender-affirming care" is a legalistic linguistic ad agency--inspired work-around to the Court's objection.

The false threat of suicide if left "untreated" seems to violate the coersion to consent. Especially those parents who did put up a fight and lost custody or medical decisionmaking power. Interesting parallel between sex changes and covid vax, actually.šŸ¤”

And undesirable people is what political opponents and the disobedient are lumped into under eugenics. Exactly what Germany did in the 1930's-1940's. And what Canada is doing today, euthanasia being a close cousin to eugenics.

I am fascinated by In re Moore, the 1976 NC Supreme Court Case upholding as constitutional the NC statute on sterilization. They briefly touched on consent but did not have to discuss because the court clearly found that the respondent and his mother had consented. They "did not attach much importance to the respondent's consent due to his mental condition, [but] his mother unquestionably is in a position to know what is best..." Since reparations, they have put out reams of information, including official lessons, condemning the act of forced sterilization and eugenics, and they focus on the issue of consent and how it might be coerced.

Thanks, good information point to share!

I've not seen case law that has focused on consent coerced by authorities like hospitals, government health and mental health officials, etc. There seems to be a presumption that they act with hard power like forceful demands while individuals are the ones who use soft power, manipulation and coercion to trick family members. Not allowing for authorities to employ soft power, too, to elicit consent they've manufactured.

"Nudge" public policy has never faced judicial scrutiny. Nudge units were established across the US during the Obama administration (and in the UK under Cameron) by executive orders, bypassing public comment and oversight. Psychological mind-farkery to help government officials achieve their public policy goals without much opposition, the soft power of propaganda and, well, brainwashing, has never faced legal challenged. They wield it like a weapon against a hostile populace they occupy and rule. Not a well-informed citizenry the serve at the pleasure of.

Recall the pain and de-platforming inflicted on Kyrie Irving, who refused the Jabs... but courageously hung in there and kept his job. But they wouldn't allow him to play at the home games (Madison Square Gardens) because of the mandate: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32387481/brooklyn-nets-say-kyrie-irving-play-practice-eligible-local-covid-19-vaccination-mandate

But the team lost so many games they made an exception to allow Kyrie to play at again despite being a pureblood. Contrast with LeBrandon James, who briefly considered joining Kyrie in defying the Jab. But he folded much like his flops on the floor (where a gentle tap from a defender sends him flying and crying to the ref).

So now LeGenius James has a son who may never excel in sports assuming he has myocarditis or any of the other Jab side-effects.

I have no sympathy for celebs who try to influence others and those who listen to them....we need more brain and logic power. Why would any thinking person take medical advice from a basketball player? Actually, I have gotten to the point that I think and research deeply any advice from any medical doctor.

I sometimes ask for links as well. I try to sense the stink in some of the stuff others post and the over the top screaming. Itā€™s out there. I have unsubscribed to a few because of this. I compress it mainly to some kind of common sense look that experience 75 years has given me. Iā€™ve been deceived to a large degree but my eyes are more open now. Probably when I most need it. I also ask myself is this the cunning of Satan. I just pray for discernment. Itā€™s exhausting and crippling to always look for the worst around us.

Yes, was wondering about the supposed VAERS research by Reuters. If so, it was puberty blockers in combo with a probable Vax reaction. All other drug safety signals should been researched in FAERS. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/questions-and-answers-fdas-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers/fda-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers-public-dashboard

"Reuters found 72 adverse event reports submitted to the FDA from 2013 through 2021 of children on puberty blockers who showed suicidal, self-injurious, or depressive behavior."

Wow, 72. That was probably the number of adverse effects for a normal Tuesday in early 2021 at my local Kaiser from the Covid shot.

Reuters, so brave.

ā€œWe donā€™t know the long-term effects on cognitive function. It could make it better, worse. We have no idea.ā€ They don't know ANY long term effects, but have guessed these so-called gender "care" hormones can cause stunted growth and brain issues. And yet they STILL push them. Demons, I say.

In similar news, Ohio is kicking around bills to get minor trans-crap ended. If all goes as planned, soon these nuts won't be able to drug, give hormones to, or cut the parts off minors in my state. The "trans" nuts are crying and screaming, of course, to which I say wait till you're 18 or move to Commiefornia.

The only logical question is "In what way could the blockers have a positive effect on cognition?" They talk as if there are known and unknown pros and cons. Lay them out.

Totally agree with you. They are demons. The whole trans thing top to bottom is demonic. He wants to take as many of us to hell with him. Wants us to NOT procreate. This delusion is a perfect bullseye.

I may be jaded but it seemed to me he was still making fun of the unshotted. He was just spouting off things the unshotted probably told him for taking the shots for literally no reason. I did not sense any real remorse and yes I know it is comedy. He knows he's not going to die in 4 years as the unshotted conspiracy theorists always say, so he is making fun of that.
