If you or anyone you know have had a joint implant, this post is must reading.

I had a hip replacement 2 years ago next month. Several weeks after that, I got chronic explosive diarrhea that continued until a month ago. After exhausting virtually all other possible causes, it was apparent the problem was the joint replacement. The stellar chiropractor at the Tennant Institute in Irving Texas told me in a telemedicine call that it seemed the titanium in the implant had flipped the polarity in my body. He said there is only one person he knows who can permanently fix that with an industrial strength magnet, , and he is a chiropractor in Columbia SC. In the mean time, put a fridge magnet on the scar. If it does not improve things in a week , it won't. It did not help at all,

I upgraded to a much stronger 1/2 inch diameter neodymium magnet. Within 12 hours, I noticed dramatic improvements. I had been going 8, 10, 12, and even more time a day. Accidents too. The neodymium magnet cut my frequency by 1/2 to 2/3. For the past month, I have been going anywhere from a low of 3 times to a high of 6 times. Absolutely remarkable. A $1.75 magnet, after spending thousands of dollars and who knows how many hours trying everything I could think of.

When I took my wife to Dr. Tennant last April, he told her that if she kept her polarity correct, her breast cancer would not return. Here I'm thinking he is going to gig her for continuing to drink, and to be fair, his protocol lays out strict guidelines for diet and detox and supplements., but polarity was the one he actually mentioned.

I told a friend who has had 3 hip replacements, and diarrhea for 7 years. She noticed a definite improvement just with a fridge magnet, and is now trying a neodymium magnet. At the weekly farmers market Saturday, I was telling the stand owner about the magnet story. The woman in line behind me said "my husband has had diarrhea ever since his knee replacement". I told her "Home Depot. Aisle 18. Bin 6. Stop on the way home and he will be forever grateful. "

How many other stories like this are there? When I asked the doctor's office where I had the surgery, they said they had never seen a reaction to a joint replacement. Sure. Because they never looked, and people "trust their doctor". Also how many people will spend the time, money, and effort as we did to eliminate every other possibility to show it has to be the implant?

A great post that I cut and pasted into notes. Have many friends with recent replacements. Thank you for sharing.

I wonder if dental implants cause the same? I know root canals are horrible for creating health issues because of bacteria.

Speaking of mouth bacteria. Iā€™ve had awful migraines for years. Iā€™m 81 years old. Years ago I had a number of crowns on various teeth which are now failing. This past year I had to have four teeth pulled and two crowns replaced because what was left under the old crowns was so badly decayed which means my mouth has been full of bacteria for who knows how long. Mean while no doctor could figure out why I was having the headaches. Big mystery. Guess what? As soon as the decayed teeth were removed the migraines ended!! I have discussed this with the dentist and told me he has had other patients tell him the same thing. The older I get the more Iā€™m convinced that doctors donā€™t know much

Same thing with me. Constant sinus infections for about 4 years. The doctor specialist gave me antibiotics, prednisone, etc. nada. Went to a dentist who spotted the smoldering infection in a 30 yr old root canal near my sinus cavity. Removed the root canal and never ever had another infection. Plus practically zero colds since 2012. But, Even the dentist didnā€™t think the infection was responsible. Give me a break. The silos are large these folks each reside in.

I had two root canals, the first one's in my life, at age 57 last year. I'm reading about the bacteria and chronic infections that could exist and I'm wondering whether or not to have these two teeth extracted. I'm reading Dr. Thomas E. Levy's book "Stop America's #1 Killer!" regarding heart disease. The concept of "Total dental revision" is explained in chapter 29, and includes "proper removal of root canal-treated teeth."

Iā€™ve heard more than one biodentist say ALL root canals are bacteria laden. Itā€™s impossible for them not to be. Same with implants. Maryland bridges are a safer alternative.

I had a botched root canal about 18 months ago. Another Endodontist ā€œfixed itā€, but I still have noticeable sensitivity on that tooth. Heā€™s looked at it and has no idea why...

Expand full comment

I had the same! Had first root canal and started having headaches. I went back to my dentist and he just said it takes a while for it to heal. I insisted on being referred to an endodontist who told me my dentist didn't do one of the four canals. The endodontist replaced that root canal and within months also did another one on the same side of my mouth but this time an upper tooth. Needless to say, I didn't return to my original dentist and I'm now going to another one, but I'm still very skeptical!

Coconut oil mouth swishes(oil pulling) are fantastic for naturally eliminating mouth bacteria.

Baking soda(NaHCOā‚ƒ), and ClO2 are also inexpensive and effective, but not as pleasant imo.

Castor oil is probably the best oil to use for oil pulling. And you only have to do it for a couple minutes vs 20 minutes with other oils. Castor oil (Palm of Christ) has many superior benefits.

I have had headaches for 13 years on the left side of my head. I have had two crowns placed on two teeth on the left side of my head. I wonder if there's any connection...

The economy is so stellar right now, I probably wont be able to afford to have them replaced. It would be very embarrassing to run around with a missing front tooth, but perhaps that's the price to pay to make the headaches go away.

Joette Calabrese is one place to start.

Homeopathy is an amazing medical practice but quite different than what we are accustomed to. So good to learn about it so you can use it safely, which you absolutely can do.

My husband used it along with essential oils to save one of his teeth.

I have great success with "molecular iodine." Even kills the c-19 virus, swished or gargled. I have much old restoration.

I also include this as almost no one in America knows hardly anything about Russia, its history, it culture. (In one of the details, I found information on something which I always suspected ... confirmation of a sort pointing to CIA involvement in the Chechen wars. I always figured so, and as a part of the overarching scheme of encirclement of Russia going all the way back to the 1990's. I was glad to have finally found something on all that.)

My husband's cousin has always been a free spirit and kind of cheap. He made his own teeth! He said he watched it on YouTube and made a bridge from a kit he ordered in the mail.

Follow Dr Kelly Blodgett on Instagram. Heā€™s a dentist in Portland, Oregon who uses a 3-D Cone beam X-ray machine to find abscesses. He sends the pulled root canal teeth off to a lab and they all have multiple strains of bacteria and sometimes parasites. Peopleā€™s prior health conditions literally go away in days.

If you have root canals, you need to rinse daily with a solution of food grade hydrogen peroxide and distilled water very small ratio of hydrogen peroxide like 1 cap to 60 caps of water, it is strong but not dangerous whatsoever!....It will keep bacteria at bay! There are numerous books and articles on this very thing!

No, this is not true -according to Dr Tennant and 1000s of testimonials. Opening the root exposes the meridian in the body to air/bacteria, which is not touched by anything topically. Dis-ease, cancer etc develops in the meridian connected to the root canal. Avoid root canals. Go to a biological dentist.

I have never had a root canal but in 2009 I went to Juarez Mexico and had 28 Porcelain crowns put in. Down to El Paso and across on the shuttle to fit the bite, grind the teeth get a plastic temporary set and back across in one day, skip a day while the crowns are made and run around El Paso shopping then back across on the shuttle get crowns set and head back home on the third day. $3450.

My neighbor, a dental hygienist says, " Let me see your teeth, WOW. An awesome job. How much?" When I told her she said, "It would have cost $28,000 up here and several trips!"

Then 6 years ago my Wife went there for a root canal and teeth cleaning. Across on the shuttle at 9AM and back across to El Paso and in the hotel restaurant eating Mexican food at 12:30 PM paying $220 total. A very clean job She never had any pain and has had no problems. Her best friend up here $2000 for the dentist to tell her he couldn't do it and sent her to Denver where they charged $4000 plus very painful. Those Mexican dentist are U S trained and the place has bars on the windows and bullet proof glass. When you enter they lock the doors unless you risk leaving.

You pay in Mexico but their El Paso office then gets you a refund check mailed from your insurance company. The best and cleanest dentists I ever went to.

I was told that today that job would be 40K in the USA.

They speak perfect English there too.

An undiagnosed heart murmur indicates a valve problem, in which case, prophylactic antibiotics should be given prior to any dental treatment. This kills any oral bacteria entering the blood stream and protects the faulty valve.

Wow! I have had issues with medical procedures and medical advice, long before covid and the jab. But since then, I became convinced that my hesitancy to ALL KINDS of medical chicanery was instinctive and correct!

I now question my hip replacement in July of 2019, because the beating that left side took (in order to get my left leg back to the same length as before) left me with bruises and pain from above my knee to halfway down my calf FOR MONTHS. And unfortunately, the pounding failed, so my left leg is now longer.

A year later, I was still having issues in that knee (not the dang hip) and my surgeon asked me if I was vaxx'd. I said "No... and I won't be doing that." Dr P told me "Well, if you're not vaccinated by July (this was late May) I will no longer treat you." I asked what I was supposed to do since he did the surgery and I was still having knee pain. His answer "I'll refer you to another orthopedist."

Does anyone know anything concrete about self-assembling nanotechnology in dental numbing agents? Apparently that was found in samples in another country. No mRNA or graphene, but apparently tech that could make .... something. I am not attempting to fear monger, just trying to find out if this is a real thing. I have two badly decayed teeth that I want pulled, but NO WAY will I ever use anything like nanotech if I can absolutely avoid it. I trust no one any more.

I am trying comfrey compresses on both teeth. This may or may not work, but I am willing to try. Too early to see if it makes a difference, but I will say it healed my dad's broken shoulder. Comfrey is reputated to knit bones but am not sure what it will do with the infection. I'll report if it does anything.

For a true study, check out the Reformation period from the Catholic viewpoint. Much of what your speaker is saying is simplistic and not accurate.

Henry VIII declared himself head of the Church of England because he wanted to divorce and remarry. Catholics were persecuted to the point of being stripped of their property and even their lives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hugh_Benson

The above wrote well researched historical fictions about the sufferings of Catholics.

The Catholic Church is the church established by Jesus Christ. In his great mercy, it is obvious to me that he works through the Protestant and Orthodox branches of Christianity.

But the Truth is complex and requires a full study of how weā€™ve arrived at this point in time.

Expand full comment

Not true.. Jesus did NOT establish the Roman church. Read the book of Acts, and Paul's epistles. Yes, read them yourself.

His followers had to scatter because of persecution by the Jews in Israel, and the Roman governors in Israel as well. Between the Zealots and the Romans working in cahoots, christians fled in droves. BUT this was Gods plan, to bring the gospel to the rest of the world. Asia Minor was the main centre fir believers, who lived alongside if the local pagan idolworshippers, often suffering persecution. After the Romans uterly destroyed Jerusalem and its temple, there WAS no more Israel. Over the next couple hundred years once the last Roman Emperor was gone, Rome became a centre for many believers, and Rome became a centre for church leadership. Once Constantiine made Christianity the state religion (in 325 I believe) of what was lef of the Roman Empire, Rome became the centre for the church. Couciles and getheirns mostly took place there. Over time stagnation and corruption cretp in, Rome became the central office of the organisation. This, of course, let do corruption aas the central function if the faith fell by the wayside. As the "organisation" spread and grew in influence and power it became what is now the Roman Catholic CHurch. Take a hard look at the current "pope" and tell me if this guy is truly cincernted with the values and mission Jesus gave His church.nThe corruption nd apostasy of the leadership has only increased over the centuries. CHiuch of England did come about because Henry Eighth refused to obey God's law prohibiting divorce and remarriage. His fight waas not with the pope, but with Jesus Himself. So that "granch" of the church has its roots in corruption and rebellion.

When Jesus said to is servant Peter "you re Peter and upon this rock (a play on Peter's name, whcich means rock) I will build MY church" He was not making Peter any sort of prelate or kingpin. The "rock" he was calling the fundation was the faith exhibited by Peter at that time. That sae faith is in all of us who believe in Jesus. The roman church is so corrupt there is no way it can be "the trie church". besides, that leaves out all the other "breanches: of Christ's church we have seen in the past, and present: coptic (Egypt, Ethiopia, etc(, Syrochaldean (India) Russian Orrhodox, Greek Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, most of the so-called "protestant" and reformed churches. al

l trace their roots back to the original CHurch esus established "upon this rock".n

The roman church is based upon following arbitrary manmade rules, the political/performance, traditions, and, of course oddles of money/influence. I kniwm as I was raised in that church, having atended catholic schools fri kindergarten through university. I found it all empty and pwerless to deal with the confusion and emptiness and uter failure to deal with the obvious sin beseting my life. That was 1947 to 1974. From 1974 to now I have had a close walk with the Jesus who did die for ME... and ha scalled me to follow Him.

Yes, true. I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I have read the book of Acts many times and have a broad understanding of the history of the church from the beginning.

I read long ago, maybe it was Gibbon ... that the early Church was infiltrated by members of the Roman aristocracy who had nowhere else to go; and that by the 3rd century AD the word 'pope' began to be seen in use. Today, the Bishop of Rome, Pope and head of the Roman Catholic Church, the , is also honored with this title of highest honors, Pontifex Maximus. This was also the same title used for centuries in designation of Rome's highest priest. The title literally appear to meant the highest or supreme bridge builder (pons/bridge + facere/to make + maximus/supreme, highest).

Your understanding of Peter and the rock is same as mine. And your observation of Jesus/I am the way appears to be further illumination buttressing. And the Church created of God is the Kingdom, not of this world. I.e, not a building, city ... not Man ruling over men. It is a far greater and more splendid creation.

Expand full comment

"pope" is an anglicisation of the word "papa", "father" in english. But GOD os thee Father of us all, per HIS words. Right?

You are on he mark with "pontifex maximus", ltin for "supreme bridge builder". This title arises from the lie that the pope is the "vicar of Christ on earth","vicar" meaning go-between" or " place-holder". Jesus has clearly stated HE is the Mediator between God and man, there IS nor can there be another. In my own life, having that middleman cut out of the equation made an YUUUUUGE Difference. I am now in a direct one to one relationship with the Maker and Sustainer of the universe. I know I have His ear, at any moment. And He has MY ear as well. ONLY HE has paid the price to stand between the Father and me.

WHO needs an ersatz overpaid hireling who does not even know any of we wee peons even exist? I will take the One who KNOWS my name, is closer than a brother, and gave His all.. for ME.

It may surprise no one that a Protestant by Westminster Confession standards will differ greatly from the many conceptions as are held by the Church of Rome. One of these being that God instituted His catholic Church universal belonging to Him alone ā€¦ and not to some other large ā€˜Cā€™ institution made of Man and located somewhere in the middle of Italy. Catholics and Protestants will contest this contention until the cows come home as will they argue such other things as the alleged validity of the ā€˜apostolic successionā€™.

Henry VIII was not much of, if at all, a Christian. And even the duller knives in the drawer ought to be able to figure out that Henry was more interested in self-serving instruments, actions and proclamations coming with high propaganda value attached than he was about placing Bibles into churches.

That you zero in on Henry in upper case fashion is cause for puzzlement. And ditto as to persecutions no matter who of Man is doing the persecuting for whatever reason or reasons. To wit, the subject matter at hand is Protestant history, specifically Martin Luther and the 95 Theses, and with this being the launch point of the historical Protestant Reformation.

That you allude to everything but Luther and the 95 thesis appears to carry with it the risk of being seen as being more diverting of gaze than being interested in the subject matter at hand.

My zeroing in on Henry the wife killer was to point out that many notable Catholics were martyred during the reformation period, as well as plenty of commoners.

Itā€™s not a one sided story, by any means when it comes to martyrdom.

Henry, no Boy Scout, for sure and was Christian in name only. And for sure, Henry-clones abound in our day. And for sure Luther was embraced by the Northern European rulers as a way to get out from underneath the dictate of the Popes. Just the same as the Americans wanted out from under the dictate of Geo. III. And BRICS Plus want out from underneath the horrors of the American Empire gone Satanic Marxist Woke.

Have you looked at Martin Lutherā€™s earliest efforts to make a religion? It is much closer to Catholic than anything Protestant today?

And his removal of Holy Scriptures and the embarrassment of having to replace them?

Heā€™s not the idol you believe him to be. But God is gracious and merciful and works with those who earnestly seek Christ. I donā€™t get too wrapped up in Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant divisions. I look for the commonality.

Willing Spirit! Please be careful of presuming too, too ... way too much. The item was about church history, not about Lutheranism per se. And as regards Luther, I would say that Luther is decidedly a person of interest, historically significant, and a remarkable fellow ... objections notwithstanding. And like the Apostles, highly imperfect as are all of Man.

Your comment about commonality has great merit, and yet difference count. After all, with differences being a discriminative mental process, this is key to how we learn. That is an apple is not a pear, an orange, an ant or snail and so on. And sameness is categorization, taxonomy and the like. All in its proper placement! Both differences and sameness are required.

But I am glad you wrote as you did. People should know who was the historical Martin. I imagine that his wife had a handful on her hands. But she must have been a gifted woman as she navigated between the shoals of the mercurial Luther without undue wreckages.

Carolyn, the Inquisition is a very complex subject. Most Americans and English have a cartoonish understanding of it. For context, Fauci killed more people in a couple of weeks than were sentenced to death in 500 years.

This was also a propaganda war at the time. Did you hear about the thousands of Catholics that were killed by the Germans, Dutch, and English? Didn't think so. Funny, how they leave that out of your history books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmhdYHflBDI

I recommend you try it. I am pretty healthy and not on any medications. I pursued it to see if it would help one of my children that has anxiety, OCD and depression. Before giving him any, I wanted to try it myself to see if I noticed any side effects.

I started with a tiny dose (5mg) - 10 drops of 1% MB in 8oz water and 3/8 tsp of ascorbic acid.

I noticed a difference in 10-15 mins. Improved mental clarity, focus and energy. The effect lasted a good 8-10 hours.

The Healthcare Industrial complex is tightly interwoven to suck money out of your bank account as you age. I worked in healthcare for 27 years until being ousted due to not taking the jab and due to age discrimination. It's the biggest scam and we have all been led to believe they are there to help us. Fortunately there are many in the system who will help you if you can happen upon them. Until I discovered the term "Functional Medicine" I was at a total loss for where to get help. Hashimoto's causes many ailments or many ailments has caused Hashimoto's. My vitamin D level was 11 when I went to see a neurologist because I felt like I was going to fall down every set of stairs I came to. Normal for D is 50-70 depending on who you ask. After 2 weeks of supplementing with vitamin D3 and vitamin K my balance issue was back to normal. Vitamin D deficiency is widespread and cause for many symptoms but GP's don't standardly test for it. Now I get it tested annually and insurance pays for it due to my Hashimoto's diagnosis.

Mary, I take care of my ailing mother. I started grounding her using Clint Ober's earthing sheet. Prior to grounding she never smiled or laughed. Within a few days her behavior changed in this small observable way. She started to smile and laugh. She also seems less mentally fractured and scattered (read: grounded). I don't know what it is doing for her otherwise but that was a win for us both.

A friend of mine recommended earthing to me. I watched a movie about it on YouTube. Iā€™ve read some about it. The Movie talks about how in the last hundred years or so weā€™ve moved away from leather shoes and so forth to synthetic soles and that is a problem. But dry leather is an insulator And people have not gone around in bare feet for centuries maybe millennia in general. In Addition to that grass is not a conductor of electricity and I would be surprised if the highly calloused thick skin of people who often go around in bare feet is a very good conductor of electricity. In addition to that I never did see what the voltage potential of a human body is but Iā€™ll bet itā€™s not very much maybe less than 10 volts? A low potential like that makes it even more difficult for current to flow. So Iā€™m not trying to poo poo the whole idea but it doesnā€™t seem to make much sense to me.

I just read an article by Dr Mercola about the effects of estrogen on our health, including low thyroid levels. This also affects men since weā€™re surrounded by hormone disrupters in our environment and food, that lead to rising levels of estrogen in our bodies.

After the surgical onset of menopause I was placed on estrogen. Last year I needed to start thyroid medication. Iā€™m still not properly adjusted. Next step for me is to wean off the estrogen.

Over the years Iā€™ve been told many conflicting things about the benefits and risks of estrogen, by doctors! They canā€™t even agree on that!

Our bodies are finally tuned, interconnected, complex systems that need to be treated as a whole not the compartmentalizing that so many doctors practice today.

A local herbalist (also a phd in molecular biology) taught that you can determine if your body needs iodine by dabbing on a quarter size ā€œpatchā€ of the liquid.

I too have Hashimotos, but I think it was caused by having mono. Anyone with an autoimmune condition should buy ā€˜The LDN Bookā€ off Amazon and then give the copy to their doctor as a way of getting them to prescribe it. Iā€™ve done that with 2 doctors so far and it works. The interview with NY Dr Bernard Bihari is also informative.

LDN or low dose naltrexone helps your thyroid hormone work better and it triggers your body into making endorphins. It is also anti cancer. It has made a huge difference for me.

Doctors usually canā€™t order it directly off their systems, so it needs to be ordered from a compounding pharmacy. I found Care First Specialty pharmacy in NJ to be excellent as a compounding pharmacy.

I had thyroid issues also - please read either David Brownsteins book Iodine why you need it or Lynne Farrows book "the iodine crisis" they both talk about the necessity of it and in this bromide driven world - bromides take the place of iodine in our bodies and how to get those out and refill your body with iodine. There's a protocol, very simple and easy, not complex, but you will understand once you get the book. And you will notice a remarkable improvement in so many areas of your body!

Then I bought a fitted King Size grounding bottom sheet from Amazon that plugs into the ground of an electrical outlet. NO MORE PAIN and carpal tunnel symptoms are go one after about 2 months of using this. The sheet is machine washed once a week. Do not use fabric softeners, Lavender in the bath or body oils.

I had two knee replacements. My balance has been horrible. I didnā€™t connect it to

My knee replacements until I had a conversation with a retired GP who had a knee replacement too. He asked me if I had ever had trouble with my balance. My answer was ā€œYes. why?ā€ His surgeon asked him AFTER the surgery if he had noticed having any problems balancing. (my dr had only ever asked me about how my knee was doing, never anything about balance).

The retired Dr told me that there is a ā€˜nerve in the joints that tells the brain ā€˜youā€™re stepping off a curb, balance yourselfā€™, and that nerve goes away after knee replacement.

So. Thank you. Perhaps this will benefit me with my dizziness when walking. I just put two refrigerator magnets on my knees. May have to go to Home Depot, but if it helps my balance it will definitely be worth it!

Magnetic fields are present in walls from electrical wiring -- they are all around us in buildings, homes, bedrooms. Many homes have bad wiring and are not grounded.

Funny thing. Kinda. I have a condition called essential thrombocythemia. It basically means my body makes too many platelets so I have to take a drug to keep them in check. When I was diagnosed, the hematologist asked me if I spent my working life near a plug. ??? He meant a wall receptacle. They are trying to find a correlation for this condition by being exposed to electricity or magnetism. So being a welder in a power plant, where we used to nap leaning against 13,800 volt generators, and welding, I kinda laughed when he explained he was referring to an electrical outlet. And Iā€™m still surrounded by welding machines in my retirement, a fine source of magnetism. So Iā€™m guessing at this point Iā€™m non polar.

And remember when they "paused" the J&J jab in April 2021 because of brain bleeds? These events were happening after all three of the manufacturers' shots, but J&J had the highest rate of brain bleeds per shots given, and the first death from that specific adverse event reported to VAERS.

Somehow, even though many more reports of brain bleeds and deaths thereof were received by the CDC during that ten-day pause, they still decided the benefits of the shots outweighed the risks, and resumed using the J&J and continued the use of the others, too.

Friend of our best friends, Doug Cameron, got the J&J in April of 2021 and is forever paralyzed from it. https://www.realnotrare.com/post/doug-cameron

I'm so sorry to hear that. There are so many people at so many levels who need to be held accountable for so many harms: harms from shutdowns, isolation of the elderly, restrictions on travel, not allowing patients in hospitals to have visitors/advocates for their care, deadly protocols, withholding care, school closures, masks, vaccine injuries.

Doug has come a long way since that video. Heā€™s working a job he likes, with great people, although not in ag. Always a positive attitude. I believe his out of pocket costs have reached 143 thousand dollars. It is not cheap to be a paraplegic, so these costs will continue mounting. The worst thing is that this is not rare at all. These clots have affected thousands of people. Some with less catastrophic results, but some with death. And J+J has dropped completely off the radar, so the only ones who think about J+J are the ones injured by it. No one else cares.

I was a nurse at the VA for 21 years. Retired 3 years ago. The bureaucratic red tape was ridiculous and impeded quality care for our nations veteran's. In spite of that though, of all the places that I worked as a nurse, I enjoyed the veteran's the most. They were so appreciative and they deserve the absolute best care that we can give them. Unfortunately, our government does not care about them! It is so sad and makes me incredibly mad that the illegals coming over our border get better care!

My husband is a Vietnam vet. He started on VA care when his family business was sold. That was during the reign of Obama. The VA was extremely anxious to get him signed on and when he ended up almost having his foot amputated for a botched surgery, I found out how hard it was to get outside care without paying out of pocket. Say what you will about President DJT, it was his administration that got VA care strictly out of VA hospitals released to outside doctors and hospitals. My husband benefited from the revamp, tremendously.

The doctors, care staff, and volunteers at our local VA have always been great. But a couple of things I have learned; the VA loves to give out drugs. Iā€™m not talking about narcotics, Iā€™m talking about all the immunosuppressants for all the ā€œconditionsā€ that are erupting everywhere. These drugs two decades ago cost an arm and a leg even if you had good insurance. Now they are given out like candy.

My husbandā€™s VA never pushed the shot. Called once and asked him to set up an appointment. He never did and that was it. But the VA is under the Federal government and I never forget that. I question all health care now, not just the VA.

Please recall that 100 years ago in Chicago, A man named Al Capone ruled the landscape.

One of his best well kept secrets was the buying of all the Judges in all counties surround.

He would in fact show up readily politely and handily with his legal teams for each and every one of his summons to appear in courts. Knowing that the Judge on the bench will toss any and all technicalities as non-admissible and he would walk out smiling. Because he knew that his first line of defense was to buy his not guilty verdict at the earliest point.

He knew that if they found him guilty of local city/county/state crimes, the mayors or even a governor was useless to keep him from serving in prison. But the Feds got him on Tax files.

Yup, the key words being bible-based.

We are going through Titus and our pastor spoke on the qualities of women the Bible describes in the second chapter (we men got ours a few weeks ago). Our pastor was uncompromising and just laid it out, particularly when going over the qualities of a "homemaker" and "obedient to their husbands". Instead of ignoring these unpopular terms, he went over detail what they meant and the obligations resulting to both men and women. All backed up by biblical examples of course.

The world tells us that teaching this stuff will drive people away but our church is booming and packed. There is a hunger out there for straight-up truth, as my our pastor puts it, he's just a messenger. If people have a problem with what the Bible says then their argument is with God, not him.

if people want to be lied to and have their political biases stroked there are plenty of other places to get that, church shouldn't be one of them.

LOVER OR PROSTITUTE?

The Question that Changed My Life

-by David Ryser.

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church. I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe.

It is a short version of the history of Christianity, and it goes like this:

šŸ‘‰"ļøChristianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise."

Some of the students were only 18 or 19 years old, and I wanted them to understand and appreciate the importance of the last line, so I clarified it by adding: "An enterprise. That's a business."

After a few moments, Martha, the youngest student in the class, raised her hand. I could not imagine what her question might be. I thought the little vignette was self-explanatory and that I had performed it brilliantly. Nevertheless, I acknowledged Martha's raised hand, "Yes, Martha."

She asked such a simple question:

šŸ‘‰"A business? But isn't it supposed to be a body?"

I could not envision where this line of questioning was going, and the only response I could think of was "Yes."

She continued:

šŸ‘‰"But when a body becomes a business, isn't that a prostitute?"

The room went dead silent.

Thereā€™s more. Much more to his post. Itā€™s on FB.

We donā€™t obey His Instructions to be ā€˜savedā€™. We obey Him because we ARE saved and we love Him for saving us. Not all the 613 Instructions are for everyone. Some are for kings and priests, some for male, some for female. Some can only be obeyed in the Land and some can only be obeyed if there is a Temple. Yeshua proved they are not a burden. He said ā€œI did not come to destroy the instructions, but to fulfill them (show us hOw to obey them.).

Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose. . . And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Then Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God. And all the people answered, ā€œAmen, Amen!ā€ while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.

I graduated from a highly esteemed private uni in the South. As I was finishing law school there, I had a discussion with the Dean about seeking a career teaching at the university level.

He told me, " You'd make an excellent professor, but there are three problems: You're white, you're male, and you're Catholic."

My granddaughter fits the profile of the "outcast white girl who worked hard and lost her scholarship". It rattles my cage to the "nth degree" to see the "favoritism" exhibited to lazy, partying kids who get the "breaks" because they fit a "racial profile". Everything is TOPSY TURVY - and has been for many decades. GOD HELP US!! We haven't much time left to save the remainder of our personal/medical freedoms. LOCAL, LOCAL, LOCAL (& POSSIBLY STATE) should be the key focus of us conservatives.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your granddaughter. It must be horribly frustrating for you and heartbreaking for her. That's a tough 'lesson' to learn at that age, especially when the 'lesson' is so awfully stupid and backwards. A better lesson to learn is exactly what you stated: we have to focus where we can make a difference. I hope your granddaughter never doubts her worth and that she found a solution that works for her!

Hannah (my granddaughter) is very focused on her goal - to be a kindergarten teacher in the PUBLIC schools (I pray she can handle the horrid behavior - of even the "little kiddles" because so many of them were raised under horrific home conditions). Hannah also has the unswerving support of her parents and her betrothed (they are to be married this July - I am SO looking forward to their wedding!).

Thank you for the compassionate comment, Deb!!

I can bear witness that in education, some cannot be fired, and they full well know it.

Like one who threatened to shoot up the school, starting with the Principalā€™s secretary. Turned out she had made this threat to several individuals before me, but I was the one to report it. At which time, several individuals came forth to cover their asses.

There was an investigation and we had to give testimony. The state dealt with it by mandating psychological counseling and placing her in a non instructional environment for several months. Then she was placed as the teacher of an autistic classroom in an elementary school that sat directly behind the school she had threatened. The same place where most of us who had given testimony were still working.

I transferred elsewhere to finish out my years.

I have seen things. This ā€˜cannot be firedā€™ is not healthy for a society.

You are correct. It sets a dangerous precedent for hiring any of the diverse crowd. A legal battle that canā€™t be won and high legal costs will make anybody who hires these types have deep regrets when those hires donā€™t, wonā€™t, or (mostly) canā€™t, perform at a high level.

Having watched all the evidence for the chemtrail spraying including the "lines" in our beautiful FL skies, I find it highly coincidental that this atypical freeze hit the midwest right when Iowa is suppose to turn out the vote. Weather manipulation being weaponized? Here in the panhandle, today the skies are crystal blue for the first time in some time. We'll see how long this lasts before the lines come back.

Texas is also putting a bill forward to ban chemtrail spraying. I think this may begin to wake a lot of people up who will think, "I thought that was just conspiracy theory. I guess it's not."

If you start looking up, you can't un-see it. Check this out:

Many times when we have prevailing winds at those altitudes that are from the south, the chemtrails will apparently be laid down overnight out over the gulf and by morning the resulting high altitude grey blanket that develops from the lines simply drifts in over land obscuring the sun. You can tell these are not natural clouds if you watch the sky long enough. I've written to DeSantis before about this. He's too busy with politics.

The thing I am clear on is that DeSantis is a politician. Even in the linked story he played politician. My broad brush strokes this sector of professionals (and are they ever pros) not to be trusted. Even among the generation of America's founders they were not saints. They, like all of us, were complex human beings.

All to say exercise caution when handing over trust to what Jeff characterizes as superman. Not that you've blindly done so. Not saying that at all! Heck, probably don't trust me either, since I'm admittedly riddled with flaws. One thing I can unashamedly identify though, is that my ego is nowhere near the size of office-seekers/power-seekers at any level. Shoot, I cringe at committee work. Probably because I do the work I've committed to, and inevitably end up frustrated with the slackers, and picking up some of the slack. Every time. Since my first group project in 4th grade. Every. blessed. time. Whew. Apologies for the off-track rant that I'm thinking I should edit out but impulse deciding to leave in a stream of consciousness string.šŸ™„ Told you. Flawed.

I'm there with you Phil in that I don't automatically trust any narrative and try to independently evaluate the evidence. I even gave the Flat Earthers a fair shake (IMO) but found that their "proof" all had plausible explanations that could be explained by natural phenomena.

The problem with the HARP stuff is there is no evidence, there is a plausible explanation, and people making the claims end up looking like lunatics to "normal" people. These Arctic blast weather patterns do happen routinely every so often, and there's nothing unusual about this one particularly in January. The fact that it coincides with the Iowa caucus is almost certainly a coincidence. If it were happening during a July caucus that would be a different story.

I did watch hurricane Ian in real time, tic by tic on the radar and it was without a doubt manipulated. Ian performed a long series of regular course changes, first 90 degrees east and then 90 degrees back to the north, like a clock ticking time. It was as if Ian was being repeatedly "bumped". This wound up changing the projected landfall from the sparsely populated Big Bend area, to it's eventual landfall south of Tampa into a highly populated area. These course changes were completely mechanical and could only be the result of manipulation. I've seen suspicious behavior from other hurricanes, most notably the one that hit the west coast of Mexico, but Ian was dramatic.

Just like in politics, I now view everything as "guilty until proven otherwise."

Iā€™m this way now too. I suspect every thing. And I too saw what I believe to be a manipulation with Ian. I donā€™t have the proof or dataā€¦ but in my gut it is strong. I wouldnā€™t get into an intellectual discussion over my gut feeling, but itā€™s ok that I just know and am satisfied. They can prove to me that they arenā€™t manipulating the weather and didnā€™t cause south Florida to be destroyed.

I hear you and really respect your opinion as you've shown countless times here that your comments and thoughtful and knowledgeable.

My concern (and perhaps I've overly sensitive to this) as we look like crazy people to those who are still bought into the narrative which causes us to lose credibility. With the jab we had all sorts of hard evidence LNP's were toxic, the spike was poison, and that safety protocols were being tossed aside. In addition we had totalitarian mandates and pressure to pump this stuff in to everyone. We could point to all of this as unprecedented with credibility, and have the data to back it up.

With this HARP stuff, all we have is an extremely cold January in Iowa, which while unusual isn't exactly rare. Plus there's nothing that shows this weather pattern is in any way artificial.

It's all good though, I agree that trust has been lost and I now never accept anything at face value. I do think though that we need to have our ducks aligned before we attempt to convince others.

Thanks, I'm humbled by your compliment. This forum, my immediate family and a close buddy (we have figuratively taken bullets for each other) are the only ones who get the unfiltered Phil. The rest only get a measured portion of my opinions so as not to alienate them lol.

When they started with the whole censorship and deplatforming campaign, I told my sons that this was the beginning of tyranny. All dictatorships begin with this. It is the same as the "book burning" of NAZI Germany. I mean, they deplatformed the President! Who does that? I told them a dictatorship was coming. My sons thought I was nuts. Later my youngest admitted to a friend that "Dad was right." He didn't tell me that but then sons never do admit that to your face lol.

Then when they started with the lock-downs to "flatten the curve", I immediately said this would be the biggest heist or transfer of wealth in human history. Both my sons were puzzled by my reaction. I told them this was simply a means of bankrupting the middle class and small business and transferring all their assets to the big corporations. This process is still on-going. Check out Blackrock's deal with the USG to take over all of existing FHA loans and Blackrock's vacuuming up of the single family home housing market. The end goal of the Marxists in control of the USG is the COMPLETE impoverishment of the American middle class. If Trump is not re-elected, they will finish the job.

Next came the deployment of the bio-weapon shot. My youngest son, who is a doctor of pharmacology, and I immediately called bull-shyt. My son works for a pharmacology company headquartered in Chicago. When they mandated the shot, he told them neither he nor his family would submit and dared them to fire him. Long story short, they backed down. My oldest son who is of a more liberal bent having spent too much time in NYC called me and asked if I was going to get the shot. I said "No". He asked why and I said I didn't trust them. He since changed his mind and has relocated to Chattanooga TN.

As for chemtrails and geo-engineering, at this point it is indisputable. What people fail to realize is that this is just another aspect of their efforts to poison the human race, particularly Americans and Europeans. They are poisoning our entire environment: the entire medical delivery system, our food supply and water and the very air we breathe. We are all affected. The building blocks for their nano-technology are being ingested by us with every bite we eat and each breathe we take. However, countermeasures are being discovered by people like Mihalcea and Nixon etc.

Back to geo-engineering and weather modification: It has now been demonstrated that everyone now has alarmingly high levels of aluminum in their body as a result of the chem-trail spraying. This has also caused the atypical forest fires that burn at temperatures far above normal due to the heat generated by burning aluminum that has been laid down by the chemtrails. The Paradise CA and the Lahaina fires are systematic land grabs by the elite. Using fire to burn out a population is one of the oldest techniques for stealing desirable land.

To me there is a very suspicious string of coincidences with recent hurricanes. If I remember correctly, Maria literally sat on Puerto Rico without moving as a near CAT 5 for 24 hours, grinding PR to rubble. Michael rapidly intensified to a CAT 5 literally as it crossed the beach for a direct hit on Tyndale AFB just east of where I live. The eye literally went right over the center of the base destroying everything. As a result, the USG was going to abandon the base which just happened to be extremely valuable Gulf front beach property. However, DeSantis and FL CFO Patronis intervened with President Trump to save the base and rebuild. Last Oct, contrary to all the hurricane models, Otis rapidly intensified from 70 mph (which isn't even a CAT 1) to a strong CAT 5 in 12 hours, hitting Acapulco Mexico and continued as a CAT 5 even after making landfall, which has never happened before. Like CA and Lahaina, all of these locations are prime recreational real estate.

Call it conspiracy theory if you want but in my mind there are just too many dots here that line up with the cabal's program to impoverish Americans and steal the best real estate.

Dave - The problem with your observation is that for every crazy-sounding prophesy that came true there are at least ten (if not more) that didn't. They were total BS.

Critical thinking works both ways. Yes we don't accept the manufactured narrative at face value, but we also don't accept every lunatic-fringe explanation at face value either. We use our God-given reason to evaluate the available evidence and judge it against our life experiences.

We all make fun of the Covid maniacs for their inability to exercise critical thought and their triple-masking and hiding indoors. How is it any different when we accept looney-tunes explanations without evaluating it ourselves?

Replacing one set of extreme dogma with the polar opposite extreme dogma is not an improvement.

What is important is the truthfulness, the accuracy, and the validity first of presuppositions, whether stated or unstated in any give argument. After that, it's the truth and validity of what we have in our heads as a priori body of knowledge. Have the wrong body of would be knowledge, then surely its garbage in, garbage out. Reason alone is not enough. Reason has it limits. And reason without a sound body of knowledge and a heanu dose of wisdom can easily become the destroyer of the worlds.
