They returned home and later in the evening had to call an ambulance as her fever spiked to 107. She had a UTI which had turned septic because they didn't treat it earlier. What are they teaching in medical school these day? Are they only learning how to ask people's genders and how to make sure to get someone's pronouns correct. It seems like you are taking your life in your own hands when you seek medical treatment. You definitely have to push back. It's like these "doctors" are on another planet.
I worked in health care. These days ALWAYS ALWAYS ask lots of questions, go behind them and verify that their advice is sound given the circumstances and your own research , and get second or third opinions. Also read the book DON'T LET YOUR DOCTOR KILL YOU by Erika Schwartz MD.
Austin, Yes the media, medical establishment went after those that did their own research were unqualified to do so. Yet around the Black Friday and holiday sales, the media encouraged everyone "to do your own research" to get the best deals.
Need to buy a toy at the best price--do your own research. You want to survive a medical intervention--don't do your own research.
Pregnant? Research the heck out of car seats and nursery schools. Just be sure and jab your kids with “vitamin K” and HEP B (of all things!) the instant they pop
The Vit K, theoretically, is so that baby boys don't over-bleed during circumcision -- yet they want your baby girl to get it too. The Hep B is for a venereal disease. Really? At birth??
Yes— and the Creator made the rule of everyone wait 8 days to be circumcised. Wouldn’t ya know it, 8 days is when your blood begins to coagulate so you don’t have this issue. It’s right in the bible, a 2000+ yr old work!!
Dr. Suzanne Humphries does a fabulous video on why we have HepB shots. Suffice to say, there were hundreds of sex workers in a country I won’t name, giving their newborns an STD. So they came up with the HepB vax for them, then decided the whole world “needed it”. Hmmmm…. Cha-ching!
Yes! DON'T LET YOUR DOCTOR KILL YOU! A very good slogan!
The doctor we use mostly for blood work told us the Killer Jabs were safe and effective. I asked him why he said that. Well! It was because he 'did the research'.
Translation: the doctor read the Big Pharma literature! And there! That should settle all doubts!
No one should like this truth, but we must be aware of it. Just look at how many schools receive grants from pHarma, how many wings of hospitals come as a result of pHarma “donations,” etc.
Another author who went off the reservation, Bruce Lipton, PhD. Cell biologist. Used to teach in medical school. Until he couldn't anymore when his lab experiments defied repeatedly what he was teaching, namely that genes (internal to the cell) determine the expression of cells. His experiments showed that nature/the environment cells are nurtured in (petri dish) -something outside the cells - determines cell expression. Put the identical stem cell line (all cells are derived from a single "ancestor" cell) in different petri dish environments, and different cell types are expressed: bone cells in one petri dish, nerve cells in another, muscle in another. Dr. Lipton is arguably the father of epigenetics. Epi- meaning above, as in epithelium (lining of body cavities such as blood vessels), epidermis (outer layer of skin). His first book, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑖𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑓, is an eye opener. Science does not have all the answers. The exploration continues. Dr. Lipton argues, as Max Planck uncategorically stated, consciousness precedes matter. IMHO, consciousness is the final frontier. Gene (no pun intended) Roddenberry got that one wrong. 😉
I took my SO to the ER last weekend for severe pain. He’s very stoic about pain, as he lives with pain daily. It was so intense that night, he was uncontrollably crying out. I practically raced to the ER, almost learning how to make my car into a flying car. At the ER, the first doctor, who was seeing the same level of pain I was, asked some questions and because he had prior conditions, I could see the doctor’s mind start closing, fitting his pain into one of the preexisting categories, which was also the easiest to treat. I was like- wait. He’s been living with that for 2 years. It has never hurt, never mind this much. That broke through the cognitive barrier and so he called a surgeon to assess. The surgeon had the opposite attitude, thankfully. Now I’ve been misdiagnosed or given shrugs my whole life by conventional medicine (since 6 yo that I can recall and I am GenX so many decades) so I’ve learned to assume the worst. (If not for alternative medicine, I’d be long dead. My will to live was shot at one juncture and when that goes, it isn’t long after that you go). So I was really attuned to the nonverbal communications that usually accompany the average corporate medical practitioner and recognized I needed to challenge the theory of my man’s case. I can see how many people would simply accept the verbal reassurance of any intervention offered up, hoping that it’s all resolved and that it isn’t a bigger deal. It’s human nature. Denial, wishful thinking, rationalization, are common defense mechanisms we turn to in crisis.
The surgery went superbly, by the way. I was grateful to that surgeon. Credit where it is due. People at large need to develop their relationship with their gut (instinct; intuition; somatic intelligence). Your frontal lobe activity can be fooled (rather easily, unfortunately). Our human bodies are built to survive. That intelligence is much harder to fool.
Good for you, for your persistence. What I've been seeing is a total lack of intellectual curiosity. Doctors shrug, say they don't know, and send me home. You must have something easily diagnosable or treatable, or they just flat aren't interested.
All three at one time - or taking just ONE of those. I was taking "oil of oregano' for inflammation a few years ago - that was HORRIBLE. What kind of iodine and what 'potency'??
You can buy oil of oregano in gel caps. Our favorite brand is Oreganol. North American Herb and Spice brand. ( oregano oil P73). We also have put a couple drops under tongue for sore throats and it is unpleasant. But not as unpleasant as a sore throat. 🤪🤪
Here’s a wonderful home remedy for sore throat that I have used for years: put equal parts, salt, water, peroxide, and mouthwash, like scope into a jar and shake it. Then gargle and spit multiple times every day until the symptoms are gone.
p.s. If I or a family member had sepsis yes, I would throw all of them at it, but carefully spaced and with diet to support healing too. Raw garlic crushed in broth for example is a meal which does multiple beneficial things at once.
I use Lugol's 5% but very sparingly because I have no underlying conditions but am still toxic from a lifetime in the pool/fluoridated supplies etc.. Two drops internally in the morning would keep me awake all night for example.
Each person must learn what they can handle because each body is different. Sorry I can't be more specific to you personally, but there is a protocol to avoid overloading detox pathways. It's really worth trying to get one's head around. It's extraordinarily valuable.
Since sepsis is very difficult to diagnose - I believe I will leave THAT disorder to the practitioners. Even if they are allopathic only!! I do natural every day with supplements and I refuse to take anymore 'vaccines' of any kind or reputed 'remedial effects'. I'm 77 and "done that thang" enough!! Thank you so much for the sage (or rosemary or parsley or thyme--LOL!) advice.
Oregano oil in capsules is a fantastic antibiotic, I use other things for inflammation so ymmv.
If you scroll just up or down you'll see a collection of Earthclinic links; each is to one of the three mentioned powerful natural antibiotics and has all the relevant details.
Angocin is an antibiotic substitute that worked for me last week. It's available on Amazon, but less expensive if you buy it from Germany. apohealth.de
I did some research prior to checking the Comments this afternoon and found J. Crow's Lugol's Solution of Iodine 2% to be the pre-eminent iodine recommended online. I bought 1 2 oz. bottle and will NOT start taking it regularly until I do more research.
Thank you C & C Army and LV....you guys are THE BESTEST!!!
Sharon, if you put some avocado or olive oil in a spoon, and then add the oregano oil drops to that... it goes down much easier! I use oregano oil for ear aches as well...
I bet you that's a great book - My daughter is on her fourth uti in 9 months and my daughter solved it herself with a tik tok video because her dr.'s (Primary, urgent care, ER, Nurses, etc) did nothing except prescribe the exact same antibiotic for the exact same length of time - (4) times. They don't even pretend to have knowledge anymore. They look up the protocol and read what it says.....
It's a little bit of a long story but here's my best shot: After UTI#4 in well under a year, we tried multiple things, including seeing a urologist and a naturopathic Dr. What happens is the antibiotic does not get all of the bacteria and what is left is covered by biofilm - this is best described here: https://uqora.info/blogs/learning-center/biofilms-and-their-role-in-recurrent-utis Garlic suppositories & a protocol of supplements HELPED a lot but did not prevent the existing uncleared bacteria from re-emerging. The urologist said in order to overcome the biofilm - she simply needs to stay on the antibiotic for an additional (3) days and then come back for a highly sensitive pcr test done in her office. By taking this test, she can SEE if the bacteria is fully cleared or not. She'll take the test weekly for two weeks. Then take uQuora regiment for 1-2 months. In that time frame - radically cut back on sugar and abstain from alcohol plus clean diet. Once fully cleared, you can then do all the necessary steps to prevent a NEW infection. That's the current plan.
Also, had a friend's husband who had been hiking in Canada. While she was out of town, he became delirious and some church members took him to the local ER. The doctor in the ER accused him of being drunk which would be impossible since he never drinks alcohol. Turned out he had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He got a tick bite in Canada.
The only thing depressing is when you go to the doctors office (occasionally it has to be done) and they ask you all those depressing questions to see if you are depressed. It's a suggestive selling (antidepressants) ploy.
Just happened to me at a recent physical! (I HAVE to get regularly bc of migraines). First question out of the gate…do I ever feel depressed?! How is my mental health? Really?? And then proceeded to prescribe 3 diff tests, one a bone density….I’m 51 🤨
I can possibly help you with the migraines. I suffered for years, but the real issue happened when I had one for four months nonstop!!! Not one conventional doctor could help other than drugging me to death. I finally had it with a neurologist who wanted to give me a toxic old anti-depressant known to destroy your kidney and liver, plus a medication that could make you sleep 10-16 hours a night. She did no blood work....nothing. I told her I work and have a family and how is this supposed to help. She said it will break the cycle???? I went home and threw the medications away. Next appointment was to a chiropractor who also studied kinesiology and in under 10 minutes determined that I had candida in my gut that was causing the migraines. I have always eaten very good (so I thought), no sweets, fruits and vegetables, fresh meats that I prepared, but I never realized all the antibiotics, hormones, and anything that could convert to sugar contributed to the candida. So I did an intense detox by eliminating any fruit or vegetable that could convert to sugar, no grains, no alcohol (which was already very limited), but the key was converting to organic and pasture raised meats, no more conventional store bought unless grassfed organic meat. I hooked up with several farmers who I've bought my meat from now for over 20 years. I haven't had a mirgraine or a headache in over 20 years. If you have any questions, let me know!!!! I am not sure where I would be had I not found this chiropractor!!! He saved my life!
I’ve pretty much deemed it a hormonal issue as I used to get 1/yr in my 30’s until I hit 40 and started the joyous meno phase. The last 11 yrs it’s been a battle. And I notice they come in clusters and almost always when I’m going thru an intense fluctuation. Bit that is interesting and I will research further. Thx for the info!
My husband gets migraines about once a month. Never bad enough to go to the doctor but bad enough to ruin the day. They thing that helps him the most is peppermint oil rubbed onto his temples. Normally within an hour or so he's headache is gone.
I discovered that black cohosh really helped address my hormonal migraines when I was going through meno. Fish oil, especially krill oil, really helped too.
Also magnesium threonate (which crosses the b/b barrier can end migraines. See the Unbekoming Substack for a ton of information on magnesium and the many good things it can do.
Great on the grass-fed milk. That makes all the difference. I was able to track down a farmer about ten years ago and get raw grass fed milk through a herd share. It's fantastic!!! This is like dessert in a glass with all the nutrients, etc.
Grrr. Dr. Pharma. Do your migraines respond to diet? Eliminate nitrates (processed meats like bacon, ham, hot dogs etc.) Eliminate aged cheeses and eliminate MSG - who knew that some Triscuits and other seemingly innocuous foods have MSG. Symptoms don't appear right after eating the trigger foods- can be 24hrs or so.
👍🙂 Hope you get some relief. Oh and watch your salt intake - I get terrible headaches if I have too much salt in my diet (and not enough fluids) - usually in the middle of the night.
Low magnesium can also cause migraines. Might be worth increasing food sources of magnesium to see if it helps.
I don't recommend magnesium or other vitamin and mineral supplements now that the vitamin companies have pretty much all been bought up by big pharma. A lot of toxic ingredients in most vitamins now, sourced mostly from China and India, so vitamins in general seem to be more harmful than helpful.
But sometimes, you do have to have them. Source them from a naturopath or functional medicine doctor that you trust. Dr. Mercola's vitamins are also very good.
I just remembered that I also started Magnesium Glycinate when E.Z. Prine recommended Magnesium. I did start on 4-600 milligrams (your body has to adjust to it) of Magnesium Glycinate as recommended by my chiropractor who diagnosed the candida. This absorbs the best. What a difference that also makes. I am not sure if you can get this much with the topical.
I recommend this substack where he's been doing a lot of research into vitamin ingredients -- even the so-called organic brands have been bought out by big pharma and have bad ingredients -- see https://chemtrails.substack.com
It could be good to do one (1) bone density test at your age for a baseline - but not on a regular basis. I got one every 2-3 years when I was on letrozole, which can cause osteopenia/osteoporosis (it didn't).
Miserable thing, and if I recall, the physiologic process of migraine HAs does predispose one to depression. 2 family members having good results with very low carb diets; familial tendency (one severely exacerbated by the jab; no one else took it), and say mood definitely improved. Relief of pain vs ?. IDK.
Our kiddo wanted to why they had to answer the depression screen at their last visit. “I wasn’t going to answer anything ‘yes’ because then you had to fill out the back of the questionnaire and I don’t like filling those out.” 🤣🤣🤣
I told our kiddo they never have to answer any questions they don’t want to.
I don't know how old you are but when I was a kid "How To Eat Fried Worms" was a rite of passage. I was recently looking for a copy for my son and I found out it's banned. Gay porn for kindergarten, fine, wholesome book for young boys, banned.
2 yrs. ago my daughter went to a school board meeting to protest a sexually explicit book that was in the elementary school library. Any K-4 kid could get it. My daughter started reading from the book at the school board meeting during her allotted 3 minutes, but was shut down because of "inappropriate language." Inappropriate for a roomful of adults, but okay to leave on the library shelves, which they did.
How about this: If funds permit, start a neighborhood family reading room. Invite other parents who share your concern. Some spot, even a garage can be the location.
You don't need shelves, just stack milkcrates. Use milkcrates for seats as well. Keep it simple.
Everyone contributes some books, they should be grouped by age and interest, but other than a label inside the book stating what section it came from there would be no tracking. Children would learn what an Honor System is, always worthwhile.
Hours are whatever is convenient, distribute the hours open info as you deem appropriate.
Hit resale shops and buy books by the box. Encourage others to do so. If you find the garage is stuffed, add another family garage.
Thanks! And as for reading, my father started reading the funnies with me each evening from the time I was one, by the time I was three I was reading them to him. I enrolled my daughter in a progressive school, they taught you as fast as you were able to absorb, it was amazing what she was able to accomplish.
Just read a post on NextDoor (after being reinstated; didn’t want to, but hard to keep up with our crime otherwise) that someone took 20 children’s books from her “free library.” Turns out it was a new teacher trying to find books that her kids could read. Everyone forgave her.
Hunt antique stores and used book shops. I find lots of good old children's books there. If you know a title, Amazon usually links to a used copy available somewhere.
Always makes me cringe when I hear them say "reproductive healthcare" as a euphemism for abortion. As if killing an unborn child is healthcare. Or reproductive. Kind of the opposite of both. But, it's also telling in that they know their position is unpopular or they'd call it by its real name.
And then there is the word 'Partner'. Words like Husband and Wife are semi-outlawed (discourage) because they point too much towards sex distinction. Oops! I mean gender distinction!
Their mis-use of language is Word Sorcery ... and the casting of spells to daze the mind. But the good news is that this bit of Black Magic is not working out as well as it used to.
The best thing to do is to never use 'their words'. Never misuse the word 'gender'. Always use husband and wife, not my partner (unless you are a cowboy or cowgirl with a friendly greeting ... Howdy Partner!). And so on.
I am, for example, loathe to use 'vaccine'. I much prefer Death Jab or the like.
I do appreciate the word "partner" when someone literally means "we are living together / de-facto but not legally married", which is more common these days. Or, "we are long-term 'dating' (sleeping together) but haven't decided if we'll move in together yet". But I prefer the word "spouse" (or just husband/wife, if being specific) for someone who is actually married.
Interesting ... and not something a long time Christian person would immediately think of. And to that person the word 'partner' in your usage would be less than half a marriage, and indeed ... a counterfeit of marriage. But then again, one would suppose that this kind of distinction is apt to be and/or would be lost on those who are lost to a practice of contemporary hedonism.
I thought they picked it because nouns in Romance languages, those descended from Latin, are classified in gender as masculine, feminine, or neuter, allowing them to pretend it's a word used in biology to imply more than two biological sexes.
Fla Mom ... this is what I think too. And as a sort of advertising trick as in ... take something real and really suggestive, and draw a thread from that real thing to something else unrelated (like The Product) ... and plant an emotional connection to where it otherwise would not exist.
In reality, gender in contemporary mis-usage is the thread of 0 + 0 = 0 to into the land where nothing has any meaning, including our natural existences.
Think of it all as Word Sorcery and the Casting of Spells.
I read up in Wikipedia on the 1994 invention of "Reproductive Justice"; a conspiracy of Academics and malcontented quasi-science Progressives; but they want consenting, informed individuals (from early childhood on) in charge of every facet of their personal sexual health and function...not society, the State, church, just the medical-science experts to educate and advise (awash in State funding) and the healthy, stable, rational individual
Mostly the perverts came up with it. IMO, gender is only "real" insofar as it's a set of roles that society/history/culture assign to people according to their biological sex. My thought is that this is part of why the leftists wanted to create and "own" the concept of gender: to upend history and cultural norms.
I saw a video where all of these I guess they were medical students not interns yet we’re taking some kind of woke pledge instead of the Hippocratic oath. It’s frightful.
Yep! My dad was ultimately taken down by a Dr that declined to treat him for a UTI (of which he was susceptible thanks to spinal stenosis weakening his bladder muscles and necessitating use of a catheter to drain it) and then a nurse at a rehab facility that made the command decision to cancel an appointment with his Rehab Dr…whatever happened to “first, do no harm”?
Had a friends mother-in-law go to the ER with what they thought was a UTI. The ER physician basically said she had a fever here are some antibiotics and Tylenol. Wouldn't even test her for UTI. They returned home and later in the evening had to call an ambulance as her fever spiked to 107. She had a UTI which had turned septic because they didn't treat it earlier.

In one of Del Bigtree's recent episodes, The Highwire, he stated that 58% of people polled are now doing their own medical research.
So all those years ago when I was doing my own research and everyone thought I was crazy, they've now joined me. YAY!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY true - everything you have stated here. MUCHAS GRACIAS, Dorothy (how's Toto these days - (smile)!!
And remember that iodine, garlic and oregano oil will kill sepsis.
I swear garlic is a miracle drug. A cut-up clove 1-3 times per day.
All three at one time - or taking just ONE of those. I was taking "oil of oregano' for inflammation a few years ago - that was HORRIBLE. What kind of iodine and what 'potency'??

True - I opted to get a more potent Turmeric/Black Pepper capsule from Swanson.com and have been taken that for the past 4 years instead.
Here’s a wonderful home remedy for sore throat that I have used for years: put equal parts, salt, water, peroxide, and mouthwash, like scope into a jar and shake it. Then gargle and spit multiple times every day until the symptoms are gone.
Salt water. Not salt and water. Three ingredients total. Salt water, peroxide and scope
Thanks. I will give that remedy a try as well... when next sore throat comes around👍
p.s. If I or a family member had sepsis yes, I would throw all of them at it, but carefully spaced and with diet to support healing too. Raw garlic crushed in broth for example is a meal which does multiple beneficial things at once.

Sharon, www.lugolsnaturals.com
I did some research prior to checking the Comments this afternoon and found J. Crow's Lugol's Solution of Iodine 2% to be the pre-eminent iodine recommended online. I bought 1 2 oz. bottle and will NOT start taking it regularly until I do more research.
Thank you C & C Army and LV....you guys are THE BESTEST!!!
Sharon, I would Not get Cox’s. I would go directly to Lugols original.. Cox is a middleman and he charges twice as much.
Sharon, I don’t mean Cox I mean crow
I wondered who "Cox" was - LOL!!
Anyway...a 2 oz. bottle was $13.49 - and I'm not taking it unless I get a nasty sinus infection or other infection.
I'll remember to go to Lugol's next trip around---if that is ever necessary.
Thanks again, LV!!
Sharon, if you put some avocado or olive oil in a spoon, and then add the oregano oil drops to that... it goes down much easier! I use oregano oil for ear aches as well...
I appreciate the info, Concerned!
I love Italian food!

I bet you that's a great book - My daughter is on her fourth uti in 9 months and my daughter solved it herself with a tik tok video because her dr.'s (Primary, urgent care, ER, Nurses, etc) did nothing except prescribe the exact same antibiotic for the exact same length of time - (4) times. They don't even pretend to have knowledge anymore. They look up the protocol and read what it says.....
What did your daughter do, exactly? I tend towards chronic UTIs too. :(
It's a little bit of a long story but here's my best shot: After UTI#4 in well under a year, we tried multiple things, including seeing a urologist and a naturopathic Dr. What happens is the antibiotic does not get all of the bacteria and what is left is covered by biofilm - this is best described here: https://uqora.info/blogs/learning-center/biofilms-and-their-role-in-recurrent-utis Garlic suppositories & a protocol of supplements HELPED a lot but did not prevent the existing uncleared bacteria from re-emerging. The urologist said in order to overcome the biofilm - she simply needs to stay on the antibiotic for an additional (3) days and then come back for a highly sensitive pcr test done in her office. By taking this test, she can SEE if the bacteria is fully cleared or not. She'll take the test weekly for two weeks. Then take uQuora regiment for 1-2 months. In that time frame - radically cut back on sugar and abstain from alcohol plus clean diet. Once fully cleared, you can then do all the necessary steps to prevent a NEW infection. That's the current plan.
Wow. Thank you so much!
Also, had a friend's husband who had been hiking in Canada. While she was out of town, he became delirious and some church members took him to the local ER. The doctor in the ER accused him of being drunk which would be impossible since he never drinks alcohol. Turned out he had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He got a tick bite in Canada.
Or depressed…it’s always depression. I remember a case of “hysterical blindness.” It wasn’t.
The only thing depressing is when you go to the doctors office (occasionally it has to be done) and they ask you all those depressing questions to see if you are depressed. It's a suggestive selling (antidepressants) ploy.
Just happened to me at a recent physical! (I HAVE to get regularly bc of migraines). First question out of the gate…do I ever feel depressed?! How is my mental health? Really?? And then proceeded to prescribe 3 diff tests, one a bone density….I’m 51 🤨
I can possibly help you with the migraines. I suffered for years, but the real issue happened when I had one for four months nonstop!!! Not one conventional doctor could help other than drugging me to death. I finally had it with a neurologist who wanted to give me a toxic old anti-depressant known to destroy your kidney and liver, plus a medication that could make you sleep 10-16 hours a night. She did no blood work....nothing. I told her I work and have a family and how is this supposed to help. She said it will break the cycle???? I went home and threw the medications away. Next appointment was to a chiropractor who also studied kinesiology and in under 10 minutes determined that I had candida in my gut that was causing the migraines. I have always eaten very good (so I thought), no sweets, fruits and vegetables, fresh meats that I prepared, but I never realized all the antibiotics, hormones, and anything that could convert to sugar contributed to the candida. So I did an intense detox by eliminating any fruit or vegetable that could convert to sugar, no grains, no alcohol (which was already very limited), but the key was converting to organic and pasture raised meats, no more conventional store bought unless grassfed organic meat. I hooked up with several farmers who I've bought my meat from now for over 20 years. I haven't had a mirgraine or a headache in over 20 years. If you have any questions, let me know!!!! I am not sure where I would be had I not found this chiropractor!!! He saved my life!
I’ve pretty much deemed it a hormonal issue as I used to get 1/yr in my 30’s until I hit 40 and started the joyous meno phase. The last 11 yrs it’s been a battle. And I notice they come in clusters and almost always when I’m going thru an intense fluctuation. Bit that is interesting and I will research further. Thx for the info!
My husband gets migraines about once a month. Never bad enough to go to the doctor but bad enough to ruin the day. They thing that helps him the most is peppermint oil rubbed onto his temples. Normally within an hour or so he's headache is gone.
Yes that helps my regular headaches but won’t touch my migraines 😔
You are welcome. I was in my forties when all this came to a head. Its been over 20 years that I have been free of them.
I discovered that black cohosh really helped address my hormonal migraines when I was going through meno. Fish oil, especially krill oil, really helped too.
I'll have to see if this helps my husband who has migraines. We just went keto. So far no migraines. And I switched him to grass-fed milk.
Also magnesium threonate (which crosses the b/b barrier can end migraines. See the Unbekoming Substack for a ton of information on magnesium and the many good things it can do.
Great on the grass-fed milk. That makes all the difference. I was able to track down a farmer about ten years ago and get raw grass fed milk through a herd share. It's fantastic!!! This is like dessert in a glass with all the nutrients, etc.
Yummy...
Grrr. Dr. Pharma. Do your migraines respond to diet? Eliminate nitrates (processed meats like bacon, ham, hot dogs etc.) Eliminate aged cheeses and eliminate MSG - who knew that some Triscuits and other seemingly innocuous foods have MSG. Symptoms don't appear right after eating the trigger foods- can be 24hrs or so.
Agreed! Sadly, that approach didn’t work for fam. Keto working for 1 for > year, and 2nd for 6 weeks. Time will tell.
I don’t eat meat, only fish, and try to avoid dairy. Pretty sure mine is hormonal, got worse with “the change” 😅
👍🙂 Hope you get some relief. Oh and watch your salt intake - I get terrible headaches if I have too much salt in my diet (and not enough fluids) - usually in the middle of the night.
Low magnesium can also cause migraines. Might be worth increasing food sources of magnesium to see if it helps.
I don't recommend magnesium or other vitamin and mineral supplements now that the vitamin companies have pretty much all been bought up by big pharma. A lot of toxic ingredients in most vitamins now, sourced mostly from China and India, so vitamins in general seem to be more harmful than helpful.
But sometimes, you do have to have them. Source them from a naturopath or functional medicine doctor that you trust. Dr. Mercola's vitamins are also very good.
yes, I do topical magnesium
I just remembered that I also started Magnesium Glycinate when E.Z. Prine recommended Magnesium. I did start on 4-600 milligrams (your body has to adjust to it) of Magnesium Glycinate as recommended by my chiropractor who diagnosed the candida. This absorbs the best. What a difference that also makes. I am not sure if you can get this much with the topical.
Wise advice re: avoiding store-bought vitamins.
I’m going to check food sources for EVERY nutrient that concerns me. And let’s not forget: nutrients from foods come complete with the food co-factors
Agree that it's good idea to check ingredients.
I recommend this substack where he's been doing a lot of research into vitamin ingredients -- even the so-called organic brands have been bought out by big pharma and have bad ingredients -- see https://chemtrails.substack.com
It could be good to do one (1) bone density test at your age for a baseline - but not on a regular basis. I got one every 2-3 years when I was on letrozole, which can cause osteopenia/osteoporosis (it didn't).
Good advice, Anna.
Thanks.
Miserable thing, and if I recall, the physiologic process of migraine HAs does predispose one to depression. 2 family members having good results with very low carb diets; familial tendency (one severely exacerbated by the jab; no one else took it), and say mood definitely improved. Relief of pain vs ?. IDK.
Test after test after test.

Our kiddo wanted to why they had to answer the depression screen at their last visit. “I wasn’t going to answer anything ‘yes’ because then you had to fill out the back of the questionnaire and I don’t like filling those out.” 🤣🤣🤣
I told our kiddo they never have to answer any questions they don’t want to.
Gender is a word they came up with in the '60s. Male or female, period.
Gender used to be only used in context of which pronoun to use for males (he, him) & females (she,her).
As usual Leftist Libs twist words & use that skill to their advantage.
Abortion became reproductive rights. What’s reproductive about snuffing out a human life?
Same-Sex marriage is another. God instituted “marriage” between a man & a woman.
I’d rather please my God than any man(kind).
Same-sex unions maybe, but not marriage.
Btw, most dictionaries started evolving the definition of marriage years ago easing up to today.
Looking for books for a toddler these days is like navigating a cow pasture.
I don't know how old you are but when I was a kid "How To Eat Fried Worms" was a rite of passage. I was recently looking for a copy for my son and I found out it's banned. Gay porn for kindergarten, fine, wholesome book for young boys, banned.
2 yrs. ago my daughter went to a school board meeting to protest a sexually explicit book that was in the elementary school library. Any K-4 kid could get it. My daughter started reading from the book at the school board meeting during her allotted 3 minutes, but was shut down because of "inappropriate language." Inappropriate for a roomful of adults, but okay to leave on the library shelves, which they did.
How about this: If funds permit, start a neighborhood family reading room. Invite other parents who share your concern. Some spot, even a garage can be the location.
You don't need shelves, just stack milkcrates. Use milkcrates for seats as well. Keep it simple.
Everyone contributes some books, they should be grouped by age and interest, but other than a label inside the book stating what section it came from there would be no tracking. Children would learn what an Honor System is, always worthwhile.
Hours are whatever is convenient, distribute the hours open info as you deem appropriate.
Hit resale shops and buy books by the box. Encourage others to do so. If you find the garage is stuffed, add another family garage.
FIGHT BACK.
Great idea. And read to your own kids. Best investment ever.
Thanks! And as for reading, my father started reading the funnies with me each evening from the time I was one, by the time I was three I was reading them to him. I enrolled my daughter in a progressive school, they taught you as fast as you were able to absorb, it was amazing what she was able to accomplish.
Just read a post on NextDoor (after being reinstated; didn’t want to, but hard to keep up with our crime otherwise) that someone took 20 children’s books from her “free library.” Turns out it was a new teacher trying to find books that her kids could read. Everyone forgave her.
"Took them", as in took them and didn't bring them back? Were they "good" books or "bad" books, sincere questions :)
🤡🌎 now.
I always wondered what would happen if all of “those books” ended up in the garbage can in the library… 🤔
Wow, how did that happen?… 😇😉
Especially easy to do now that many libraries have eliminated overdue fines and replacement fees.
🤔😇
Makes sense to someone, I’m sure.
Everything is opposite...
I remember that book. Lol. Try looking at local antique malls for older books for kids. I have found a few really good classics there
Thanks. I found a copy. 😁
Hunt antique stores and used book shops. I find lots of good old children's books there. If you know a title, Amazon usually links to a used copy available somewhere.
Lots of good books get dumped at thrift stores like Goodwill, too. It's worth checking them out.
Excellent suggestion! Thanks!
You have a way with words and images, Fred!
Always makes me cringe when I hear them say "reproductive healthcare" as a euphemism for abortion. As if killing an unborn child is healthcare. Or reproductive. Kind of the opposite of both. But, it's also telling in that they know their position is unpopular or they'd call it by its real name.
Alfred Kinsey and his cohort came up with the word, "gender." That should give us the best reason not to use it...
I always say gender only applies to language…when I took French in high school, there were two genders, “masculine” and “feminine “. C’est tout!
Perverts. Even word perversion. Figures!
And then there is the word 'Partner'. Words like Husband and Wife are semi-outlawed (discourage) because they point too much towards sex distinction. Oops! I mean gender distinction!
Their mis-use of language is Word Sorcery ... and the casting of spells to daze the mind. But the good news is that this bit of Black Magic is not working out as well as it used to.
The best thing to do is to never use 'their words'. Never misuse the word 'gender'. Always use husband and wife, not my partner (unless you are a cowboy or cowgirl with a friendly greeting ... Howdy Partner!). And so on.
I am, for example, loathe to use 'vaccine'. I much prefer Death Jab or the like.
I do appreciate the word "partner" when someone literally means "we are living together / de-facto but not legally married", which is more common these days. Or, "we are long-term 'dating' (sleeping together) but haven't decided if we'll move in together yet". But I prefer the word "spouse" (or just husband/wife, if being specific) for someone who is actually married.
Interesting ... and not something a long time Christian person would immediately think of. And to that person the word 'partner' in your usage would be less than half a marriage, and indeed ... a counterfeit of marriage. But then again, one would suppose that this kind of distinction is apt to be and/or would be lost on those who are lost to a practice of contemporary hedonism.
I thought they picked it because nouns in Romance languages, those descended from Latin, are classified in gender as masculine, feminine, or neuter, allowing them to pretend it's a word used in biology to imply more than two biological sexes.
Fla Mom ... this is what I think too. And as a sort of advertising trick as in ... take something real and really suggestive, and draw a thread from that real thing to something else unrelated (like The Product) ... and plant an emotional connection to where it otherwise would not exist.
In reality, gender in contemporary mis-usage is the thread of 0 + 0 = 0 to into the land where nothing has any meaning, including our natural existences.
Think of it all as Word Sorcery and the Casting of Spells.
“Reproductive rights” is a twisted notion. To reproduce or not is a right. Not killing lives we reproduce is a responsibility.
I read up in Wikipedia on the 1994 invention of "Reproductive Justice"; a conspiracy of Academics and malcontented quasi-science Progressives; but they want consenting, informed individuals (from early childhood on) in charge of every facet of their personal sexual health and function...not society, the State, church, just the medical-science experts to educate and advise (awash in State funding) and the healthy, stable, rational individual
Mostly the perverts came up with it. IMO, gender is only "real" insofar as it's a set of roles that society/history/culture assign to people according to their biological sex. My thought is that this is part of why the leftists wanted to create and "own" the concept of gender: to upend history and cultural norms.
I saw a video where all of these I guess they were medical students not interns yet we’re taking some kind of woke pledge instead of the Hippocratic oath. It’s frightful.
Yep! My dad was ultimately taken down by a Dr that declined to treat him for a UTI (of which he was susceptible thanks to spinal stenosis weakening his bladder muscles and necessitating use of a catheter to drain it) and then a nurse at a rehab facility that made the command decision to cancel an appointment with his Rehab Dr…whatever happened to “first, do no harm”?
So unnecessary and sad. I'm so sorry to hear that about your dad. Sometimes I think they just write off older people.
You can buy UTI test strips in the drugstore in the aisle with the AZO products. A definite unisex item.
Too woke. Too concerned with DEI and gender affirming care
