Backyard Pharmacies with Medical Marijuana

Backyard Pharmacies with Medical Marijuana
by Dr. Mark Sircus
September 4, 2024

 

Here in Brazil, it is now legal to grow marijuana in your backyard, and in at least half of the United States, it is legal. In these troubled times of high stress and higher incidences of chronic disease, it makes perfect sense to grow marijuana plants (they grow like weeds). As a medicine, these gifts from nature compete with anything pharmaceutical companies can produce and sell, and they are much safer regarding side effects. Some of the side effects are rather pleasant, which is why so many people use it for stress reduction or what they call recreational use.

This is all awful news for pharmaceutical companies who have always done their best to keep helpful, valuable, and safe medicines out of the hands of the public. There is very little intelligence in modern medicine, which always recommends dangerous, expensive medicines over natural ones.

There are many ways to administer marijuana, and many of them will not get you high. There is CBD, which is legal almost everywhere because of its very low THC content. Did you know that you can eat organic buds loaded with THC, use it in smoothies; when marijuana is not cooked, it does not get one high but retains all its active medical properties.

Marijuana is an extremely broad-acting and universally valid medicine with appropriate application for most disease conditions. Crohn’s disease patients credit the plant with helping reverse their debilitating intestinal disorders, and accredited research suggests its use in dealing with and preventing diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and assorted maladies arising from chronic inflammation. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer and chemical toxicity from drugs and environmental sources, thus helping to preserve normal cells.

Not many people or physicians realize how helpful or even critical medical marijuana can be in pediatrics – or how it can save children’s lives. We are talking about serious medicine, and the pharmaceutical companies know this.

Dr. Ben Whalley, middle, with Dr. Gary Stephens and Dr. Claire Williams at their secret cannabis farm near London. These researchers have discovered that three compounds found in cannabis leaves can help to reduce and control seizures in epilepsy. CBD is commonly used for epilepsy.

“It seems to me if one is going to need to use drugs, one ought to consider a relatively safe drug, like marijuana,” said Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. of the Autism Research Institute. Some families have found marijuana to be nothing short of miraculous. Some of the symptoms marijuana has ameliorated include anxiety – even severe anxiety – aggression, panic disorder, generalized rage, tantrums, property destruction, and self-injurious behavior. One mother commenting on using marijuana for her autistic child said, “I know it’s not the end-all answer, but it’s been the best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication, wondering if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here, we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes guaranteed.”

Patients report medical marijuana as more therapeutic
and better tolerated than other medications.

Dr. Rimland continues, saying, “Clearly, medical marijuana is not a drug to be administered lightly. But the reports we are seeing from parents indicate that medical marijuana often works when no other treatments, drug or non-drug, have helped.”

Medical Marijuana Saves Baby’s Life

ABC News reported:

Doctors said two-year-old Cash Hyde would likely die after they found a stage 4 brain tumor surrounding his optic nerve just a year ago this week. And he nearly did. After being subjected to seven different chemotherapy drugs, the little boy from Missoula, Montana, suffered septic shock, a stroke, and pulmonary hemorrhaging.

Cash was so sick he went 40 days without eating. His organs were threatening to shut down. His father, Mike Hyde, intervened, slipping cannabis oil into his son’s feeding tube. Cash, now three, made a miraculous recovery at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, but his father’s bold action—taken behind the doctors’ backs—has raised serious questions about a parent’s role in medical treatment.

Anyone can use marijuana and see for themselves how it affects their pain and disease conditions. In a 400-page analysis of the current state of scientific knowledge on the health risks and benefits of marijuana, medical scientists concluded that marijuana can effectively treat chronic pain. The sweeping National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report covered over 10,000 scientific studies.

“I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on October 18, 2014. I was advised by my doctor that my only options were to get a prostatectomy, have radiation seeds implanted in my prostate, or receive regular external beam radiation. I declined. I knew there had to be other options. I scoured the Internet and discovered a wealth of information about cannabis oil curing cancer. I was able to obtain some medical marijuana oil (Rick Simpson Oil) and consumed the recommended dosage by mid-January. On January 26, I had a cancer reassessment, which consisted of an MRI with a state of the art Tesla 3 MRI machine. Results – NO SIGN OF CANCER! CANCER FREE! One of the things that helped me while going through all this was reading the testimonials and the success stories of those who have used the oil and were cured also with good food diet. Now that this wonderful oil has cured me, I feel I need to let others know as well.”

Conclusion

The bottom line of marijuana is that it mitigates human suffering. It is the best and safest pain medication. It is cheap if you grow it yourself. It is better than any pharmaceutical on the market. It treats cancer. It is a wonderful drug that healthy people can use to keep their stress down.

Something in the Water

Something in the Water

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
updated from February 2016

 

Rocket fuel (Perchlorate) is in the news…again.

Rocket fuel chemical found in dozens of food items.

Testing showed that “fast food and fresh produce had the highest levels, while beverages, seafood and meats had the lowest.”

However, rocket fuel contamination has been well known for decades as a contaminant, widespread in the water supply. How does rocket fuel get into the food and water?

Most drinking water contamination comes from activities related to the manufacture, disposal, and research of propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics, as well as to accidental releases from manufacturing facilities and rocket launch failures, according to the National Institutes of Health’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. There are other sources of contamination, too, according to the ATSDR, including fireworks, road safety flares, and certain fertilizers. When crops are irrigated with contaminated water, that leads to contaminated produce.

The scientific way around any toxin is to normalize and naturalize it. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states, Perchlorate may occur naturally, particularly in arid regions such as the southwestern United States. 

Perchlorate is anything but natural.

As a known goitrogen, Perchlorate prevents the uptake of iodine to affect the thyroid. Along with chloride and fluoride, added to public water supplies, as well as lead, PCBs, pesticides, nitrates, formaldehyde, and other toxins, Perchlorate is only one reason for a global epidemic of thyroid disease.

Thus, Perchlorate is not the only toxin in the water.

In 2016, toxic water made headlines when the EPA announced that water was unsafe to drink in Flint, Michigan due to lead contamination. But water dangers in Flint go back to 2003. By 2017, the consequences of drinking toxic water turned up as an increase in fetal deaths and a drop in fertility rates. In 2024, the EPA says lead in Flint water is at acceptable levels.

…financial motives are causing government science agencies to ignore inconvenient truths—like high levels of lead in public drinking water. – Marc Edwards, the Virginia Tech civil engineering professor who helped expose the Flint water crisis, February 4, 2016

Instead of reassuring residents of Michigan, that lead could be filtered from the water using carbon filters, the government supplied bottled water – one bottle per day per resident – bottles which carry their own toxins of nanoplastics.

The researchers found that, on average, a liter of bottled water included about 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic. About 90% of these plastic fragments were nanoplastics. – NIH, January 2024

Ironically, most bottled water in the U.S. is tap water.

In 2018, Mark Edwards, the Virginia Tech researcher who helped expose the 2016 Flint, Michigan water crisis, was barred from testing well water in South Carolinia.

Not Safe To Drink

Agencies, such as the Department of Natural Resources, and the EPA claim  public water supplies are safe to drink. Some of the reported water-related disasters over the last decade show otherwise:

  1. Fluoridation of water using waste byproducts (hydrofluorsilicic acid) from the phosphate fertilizer industry.
  2. August 2015 Gold Mine disaster in Colorado that sent 3 million gallons of contaminated wastewater (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, uranium, cyanide, sulfuric acid, etc.) into rivers that supply drinking water to at least three states (Colorado, New Mexico and Utah) as well as the Navajo Nation. The spill resulted from a blow-out, a risk that EPA knew about, but are washing their hands of any responsibility.
  3. November 2015 Mining disaster in Brazil, from the Samarco mine in an area where around 150,000 people are still reliant on deliveries of drinking water.  “The best thing that can happen now is for the mud to flow out to sea as quickly as possible,” said Antonio de Padua Almeida, a biologist and head of the local Comboios nature reserve. “The mud will have much greater impact on the river than on the sea.”
  4. Discovery of PFOA’s (Perfluorooctanoic acid, also known as C8), chemicals from Dupont’s Teflon manufacturing process, that are now pervasive around the world though water systems. “DuPont pumped hundreds of thousands of pounds of PFOA powder through the outfall pipes of the Parkersburg facility into the Ohio River.
  5. One million tons of oil enters the marine environment annually. The 2010 BP Oil disaster in the Gulf —and the addition of the toxic chemical Corexit  has longterm human and environmental effects.
  6. Fracking water being used to irrigate organic crops, such as fruits and vegetables in numerous states like Texas and California.
  7. Flint, Michigan water crisis, 2016 (lead)
  8. Ohio 2023 train derailment  spills hazardous chemicals. As of October 2023, 742 incident reports for train derailments in the U.S. have been recorded. [See derailment and spills map of U.S.].
  9. Graphene oxide  and hydrogels (nanotechnology) used in vaccines, wastewater treatment, and water filtration, is also spread via cloud seeding and  climate engineering.

Various synthetic medications, hormones,  anti-depressants, and nanotechnologies make their way to public water that cannot be filtered out. Chemicals, such as Triclosan used in hand sanitizers, creates chloroform when mixed with tap water. Triclosan is an antimicrobial chemical, also known to affect thyroid function.

Nitrates in ground water from pesticide run-off, fertilizers, and septic tank waste affect fertility. [See evidence of nitrates in drinking water by state].

Focus on age-old contaminants distracts from new threats at a nano-level.

How do we control an unseen threat?

Nanotech Toxicity

What is a nanoform? How would EPA regulate it?

Current regulations do not adequately address the development and use of nanomaterials in any system, human or otherwise.

A nanometer is roughly 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair and 1 million times smaller than a single grain of sand. A major concern with new technologies are unknown risk factors.

First, due to their extremely small size, nanoparticles are difficult to contain, meaning they could escape into the environment and pose a threat to aquatic life, all life. Secondly, the enhanced reactivity of nanoparticles increases their toxicity.

 As we inject a nanomaterial into groundwater to remediate a problem are we simultaneously creating a new problem by injecting a material that may have adverse environmental effects? – Troy Benn, ASU researcher in environmental engineering

Graphene oxide, as an electrically-charged magnetic nanoform, is considered relatively ‘new.’ Even the structure of graphene oxide, as a one atom thick layer of carbon atoms, is still unclear due to its complicated non-stoichiometric nature.

There are never any regulations published before new technologies are unleashed into the environment (eg. GMO crops and mosquitoes). Yet, graphene is now used in all industries, from plastics, and water filtration, to dental anesthetics, biomedical applications and cloud seeding.

Impacts and Solutions

A little known fact is that water holds memoryHumans are 99% water at the molecular level.

What does nano-contamination do to the collective memory of humanity? We know Alzheimer’s is a disease of Aluminum toxicity.

The problems are multifaceted: 1) the failure of government scientists, and agencies, to acknowledge a problem, 2) failure of agencies to do their job to protect the public health, 3) the failure of people to question the status quo.

The impacts are many, from reproductive harm to shortened lifespan, to the destruction of habitats, and oxygen depletion. Unfortunately, mitigation solutions are far behind the rollout of contamination.

Basic Solutions to Complex Problems
  1. Test your well water or water source.
  2. Find and collect a clean source of water, or boil and filter tap water (avoiding nanofiltration)
  3. Stop eating processed foods; know your farmer, and grow your own.
  4. Reduce your plastic consumption and reuse or recycle plastic when you can.
  5. Don’t drink bottled water.
  6. Don’t flush old medications.
  7. Opt for herbs and homeopathy over synthetic medications.
  8. Properly dispose of chemical cleaners, oils, and nonbiodegradable items to keep them from going down the drain.

While individual solutions are a mere drop in the industrial toxic waste bucket, they can protect your health where you live. Simply take responsibility for what you inhale, ingest, imbibe, and inject.

La Quinta Columna: Demonstration of Tobacco/Nicotine Destroying Injectable Nanotechnology

La Quinta Columna: Demonstration of Tobacco/Nicotine Destroying Injectable Nanotechnology

 

Truth Comes to Light editor’s note: Below you will find a video released today by La Quinta Columna wherein Ricardo Delgado shares the work of one of their associates, Rafa Calvin, who demonstrates the destruction of (apparent) nanotechnology as found in dental anesthetics (used locally via injection) by applying drops of a distilled water/tobacco mixture. As readers here will know, La Quinta Columna has done great work in researching the graphene and nanoparticles found in the so-called covid vaccines. They have also revealed similar toxins in dental anesthetics.

The video speaks for itself. As the video was produced in Spanish, I have included their transcript (as found in the video) along with a few additional translated notes that were displayed in Spanish without English translation. You will need to watch the video to understand context of Richardo’s words. At approximately 5:05 minutes into the video, the demonstration begins.

This has inspired me to begin researching the medicinal uses of tobacco throughout history and spanning many cultures. As with most natural healing options gifted to us by nature, the strange humans who seek to control by any means have buried the truth and offer us endless toxins in their place — all requiring “money”, thus not only poisoning us, but harvesting our energy by making us work within their system to supply them with “payment”.

Nicotine Destroys Injectable Nanotechnology

by Ricardo Delgado, La Quinta Columna
August 23, 2024

 

La Quinta Columna would like to inform you that we are working on further studies in the light of the recent findings.

Today, Friday 23rd August, we will begin to carry out more tests directly on the Pfizer “vaccine”.

We do not want with this discovery to encourage smoking in the population, only to show the evidence that nicotine, as we already suspected, apparently interacts negatively with what has been introduced to millions of people around the world.

We are continuing our research and will show more results in the near future.

Yours sincerely;

La Quinta Columna,.Ricardo Delgado

 

 

Transcript:

 

Let’s remember some news. Some articles that were published at the time and recently as well.

For example, Turkish doctor:

‘Smoking and drinking alcohol make COVID-19 vaccines less effective.’

And someone will say, from now on… Well, if precisely what they call vaccines, we now know that it is a neuronal implant that precisely amplifies and catalyzes microwave electromagnetic radiation because it contains graphene.

In this sense. Smoking and drinking, as they say here, and we’re not going to encourage that here, eh?

But smoking, which is what we are focusing on, does make them less effective, since it would cause fewer deaths. Right?

That’s the first logic that comes to mind.

The following study tells us:

Vaccines COVID [covid vaccines] and tobacco. Here we are focusing precisely on nicotine.

‘Can smoking affect the effectiveness of Pfizer doses?’ he says.

A study that has yet to be reviewed claims that people who smoke develop fewer antibodies.

Another example. The Infobae newspaper published: ‘Are COVID vaccines less effective in smokers?’

This is to say, do they do less harm? This is the question we have to ask ourselves?

A recent review of studies showed that antibody levels are lower in this group compared to non-smokers.

What is the cause? Well, we are going to read it here because these are his arguments — his lies, in short.

The study here or the news, February 2022, okay?

And we must remember the emphasis that the Minister of Health, Monica Garcia, places on the issue of tobacco. Listen.

[Monica Garcia] ‘Today is a great day for quality of life. Today, the plan for tobacco control that had not been updated for 14 years was approved and I insist that it puts our country back on track…’

And after 14 years it had not been updated and now they are making it more restrictive for the health of the Spanish people above all, right?

[Monica Garcia] ‘The vanguard of the world in the fight of tobacco, which is the main cause of preventable mortality. As I said, it is the cause of 30% of cancers in our country and is also the cause of more than 16 types of cancer. Today we do it…’

We don’t talk about graphene, the cancers it causes and so on. No, we don’t say that. It far exceeds those of tobacco, almost certainly. And in record time, too, eh?

[Monica Garcia] ‘We are going with ambition, we are doing it with pride, we are doing it with coherence, and we are also doing it without fear. Dusting off this plan will give more years of life to our citizens and that will give a better quality of life in those years.’

Clear!…

[Monica Garcia] ‘It is others who will have to explain why they do not want to adhere to this plan. It is others who will have to explain why they turn their back on scientific evidence, why they turn their back on health, why they turn their back on their own technicians, and they will have to explain why they are not in favour of a consensus that I believe is a fairly broad social consensus. Regardless of this refusal, the origin of which we do not know exactly, they will have to explain it to us. I don’t know if they have given in to the pressure. We don’t know if they have already embarked on this established denialism.’

Wow!

[Monica Garcia] ‘that some people in this country have, we don’t know if..’

So, denialism has to do with tobacco?

Do you see how this woman’s subconscious instinctively betrays her?

What does denialism have to do with a proposal to restrict, after all — the sale or prohibition of tobacco in this regard? See?

Because they’re not very smart, huh?

And when she’s reading, it all seems somewhat coherent since they write the speech for her, but when she interprets, she completely screws up.

[Monica Garcia] ‘As if it were already the result of the obsessive attack on the central government. But this attitude will not tarnish the splendid and wonderful news we have today. And I insist that in our country we will once again be at the forefront of the fight against smoking and at the forefront of the fight for the health of our citizens.’

Denialism, smoking!

But this all stinks pretty bad, huh? In the sense of making you see that now, precisely now. This incisive fight against tobacco and which reduces the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine and the effectiveness of what they call a vaccine, which is not a vaccine — will not in any case reduce the effectiveness of this intracorporeal technology introduced?

Indeed, La Quinta Columna has carried out some kind of tests on the part of that follower Rafa Calvin. And he has mixed. Let’s watch the video.

[Video begins.]

Nicotine extracted directly from a gram of tobacco with distilled water and added it to a sample of a dental anesthetic, local, for dental use, where that micro tech appears.

First part 5cc of distilled water, 1 gram of tobacco. Place the mixture in the centre of the object holder.

[Image] Dental anesthetic 30 days drying.

[Hundreds of micro tech bits can be observed at 100x magnification.]

Well, I’m going to make a little clarification for people who are asking what this is. Surely there is still a lot of research time left, even from the year 2021-2022 until now of La Quinta Columna. What we are seeing is an intracorporeal network of biosensors introduced in local anesthetics. OK?

[I put a small amount of the water/tobacco mixture.]

Well, good for Rafa Calvin. Let’s watch another video. I think they show more results here. There it goes.

Let us also remember what we said about nicotine having a neuroprotective action, and that there were some studies that seemed to determine that it could be an effective treatment for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other types of neuropathies.

However, it does not necessarily have to be inhaled and smoked. There are many ways to administer nicotine, including chewing gum. This substance passes in certain doses into the blood, which we now know is contaminated with you know what.

It is an indication that should be tested and more tests must obviously be done.

Starting tomorrow, I’m going to get pure liquid nicotine, which they also sell, and we’re going to test the Pfizer vaccine in different doses and quantities. We will show the results as soon as we have it.

Fluoride To Zeolite: Safe or Shaky?

Fluoride To Zeolite: Safe or Shaky?

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
August 14, 2024

 

Zeolite.

It’s an aluminosilicate mineral by definition. Silico-aluminate. Powdered aluminum.

Toxic.

Ironically, in the natural health world, zeolite is advertised and promoted as a metal detoxifier; something that binds to and removes metal toxins from the body.  Zeolites are promoted in industry to minimize environmental issues linked to landfill disposal leakage.

Zeolites constituent [SiO4]4 −and [AlO4]5 . According to this 2005 article, they share all corners to create a three-dimensional framework structure carrying a negative charge.

Nearly 100 different frameworks have been crystallographically defined for zeolites, and related structures, each one having a unique molecular architecture. The internal dimensions of their channels and cavities are close to molecular dimensions and this has led to their employment as ‘molecular sieves’ and catalysts.

Some zeolite structures, high in aluminum, cannot be used in living systems (in vivo) because they are not stable in acids. But how do zeolite manufacturers assure the right form is used in human health applications?

Are zeolites safe in the body?

Waste Incineration Fly Ash

Whether recycled from volcanic ash, or synthesized from incineration fly ash, both sources of zeolite are synthesized from toxic ash clouds, i.e. waste.

Normally, waste is incinerated and sent to landfills for disposal. However, with the problems of available landfill space decreasing, hazardous substances leaching out of landfills, not to mention the cost of solidification, or burial of hazardous waste, what can be done?

From the 2021 Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering:

The ash or residue materials containing rich silica and alumina are dissolved in the alkaline solution to form the aluminosilicate as the precursors of zeolite, after aging for a period of time, the aluminosilicate solution is put into an autoclave to conduct hydrothermal reactions at a specific temperature and pressure and the crystalline zeolite is formed gradually.

The recycling of hazardous waste to become a “healthy” additive is nothing new.

Fluoride in The Water

The same has been done with toxic waste byproducts from phosphate fertilizer production; hydrfluoroosilicic acid (HFSA), also known as fluoride.

The CDC and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) allow HSFA to be added as “fluoride” to municipal drinking water. For more than 80 years, HFSA has been deemed by “experts” as “safe” in preventing tooth decay. Even though there is plenty of proof that HFSA causes dental fluorosis.

These agencies know that, if buried, poisonous arsenic leaches into groundwater worldwide. Thus, the problem was transferred to public water supplies.

If a fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L, the “optimal” level used in U.S. and Canadian drinking water fluoridation projects, can create neurodevelopmental harm to the fetus, bottle-fed infant, and child, then what does it do to an adult who has been drinking tap water over the course of a lifetime?

Fluoride increases the body’s ability to absorb aluminum. And where does the aluminum go? The bones. The brain. What metal shows up in the brains of Alzheimer’s victimsAutism? Multiple Sclerosis? Aluminum.

The studies show a lowered I.Q. in any population that drinks fluoridated water. Within phosphate fertilizer waste (HFSA) is arsenic and lead, among other toxins. This leads to numerous forms of cancer in any population that drinks municipal fluoridated, water.

Even the American Dental Association (ADA) says fluoride is safe in community water fluoridation programs. Yet, the ADA also calls fluoride “a mineral that is found in all natural water sources and is the ionic form of the trace element fluorine, which is commonly found in the environment. Why the contradictions?

An April 22, 2013 Earth Day petition from a U.S. University, delivered to the U.S. EPA Administrator appealed to reason regarding HFSA’s carcinogenicity, but also the costs saved by eliminating  fluoridation of the public water supply (of between 1 and 6 billion annually). However, no amount of information, legal wrangling, or courtroom trials, have ended the addition of industrial toxic waste products to the water supply. The latest court case sits in California without a ruling.  Will EPA ever be forced to ban toxins in tap water?

Are fluoride drinkers more likely to disregard the dangers of nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology can be defined as “the art and science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale (down to 1/100,000 the width of a human hair) to create new and unique materials and products…seemingly ordinary materials may behave completely differently than in their larger bulk or macro form.

Due to their small size, nanoparticles can cross biological membranes, cells, tissues and organs more readily than larger particles. Once in the blood stream, nanomaterials can circulate throughout the body and can lodge in organs and tissues including the brain, liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, bone marrow and nervous system. Once inside cells, they may interfere with normal cellular function, cause oxidative damage and even cell death.

Ironically, calcium nano-fertilizer is being used to counter the effects of oxidative stress from fluoride uptake in rice!

Zeolite NanoTechnology

Zeolite is used in nanotechnology, specifically in the nanotech delivery of medications, as biosensors.  Biosensing is the basis of Smart Delivery, Monitoring, Surveillance, and Healthcare.

More broadly, zeolites are important to the industries of Artificial Intelligence, A.I.  Their nano-crystalline structure is useful to biomedical applications, not only as biosensors, but also as: Vaccine adjuvants, Antimicrobial agents, Drug and Gen delivery, Hemodyalisis, external applications, Diabetes Mellitus, Detoxicants, Bone formation, Anti-diarrheal agents, Anti-tumor adjuvants, and Enzyme mimetics.

Today, zeolites bind, while also building nano-systems for medical interventions.

Zeolites were used as part of the CoV-BAN, Internet of Things (IoT) Network, as a real time health monitoring system. A biosensor map of the world can identify people in real-time, whether you are pharmaceutical-friendly or “alternative.”

Before applying zeolite to your routine, or listening to “experts” who promote it for their own profit, do your own research.  Even with a lowered I.Q. from drinking fluoridated water, anyone can protect themselves by asking questions and checking the source.

These days, toxins are not only in the water, but also in fast foods, and in the air we breathe. People, who turn to supplements for help, need to ask if any new-and-improved product is safe or shaky?

The Connection Between Toxic Mold, Parasites & EMFs

The Connection Between Toxic Mold, Parasites & EMFs

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
June 7, 2024
Updated from February 2022

 

Living in the material world means an attachment to wireless technology. When does an attachment become an addiction?

Can you do without a cellphone? Watching TV? Scrolling social media? How much time in a day does wireless occupy? What do you consider excessive use? Do you experience withdrawal symptoms (moodiness, irritability, depression) by going without? Would you consent to the imposition of technology at the risk of harming your health and potentially all biological life?

Unfortunately, the emotional and physical effects of invisible electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) are not listed on the package. If you have two or more of the following devices; cell phones, computers, GPS, Smart appliances, electric cars, wearables, and Smart™ TVs, or electric cars, then there are symptoms you may never hear about.

The manufacturer does not disclose that EMFs activate the hidden world of yeast, fungus, mold, mycoplasma, Lyme spirochetes, and protozoan parasites to unhealthy levels in the human body.

The consequence of WiFi is a rise in chronic infections that can be misdiagnosed.

The industries responsible for creating this silent connection between EMFs and infection fail to take responsibility. The line between what will protect you, and what will not, has never been less clearly defined.

As 5G towers become compatible with 6G, 7G and beyond, who is responsible for the consequences?

Symptoms from exposure to mold toxins include:

  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Muscle cramps
  • Headache and pain
  • Light sensitivity
  • Sinus problems
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Cognitive issues
  • Mood dysregulation
  • Temperature regulation or dysregulation problems
  • Excessive thirst
  • Increased urination
  • Nervous system issues

The user is responsible.

Naturopath Dr. Klinghardt, of the Sophia Health Institute, shared an in vitro mold experiment comparing a mold plate shielded from electromagnetic fields to an unprotected mold plate exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields. The unprotected mold, mycoplasma, and spirochete (Lyme) reacts defensively by releasing more potent biotoxins, and by multiplying more than 600 times. This biological response can be observed anywhere in Nature; it is the desire to survive and thrive.  In 2011, the amount of cell phone radiation in a cubic inch of air was several million times higher than it had been a decade before that.

 

 

Billions of people worldwide harbor tropical worms and don’t know it. They don’t know that cell phones and cell towers trigger their activity. They don’t know that mold, parasites, and other microbes respond by becoming chronic infections. Medical doctors do not automatically rule out parasites, even though there are over one million worm species, alone, classified as helminths.

Helminths take many forms, but all of them harm their host in some way. In humans, they can live in the intestinal tract, urinary tract, bladder, or bloodstream, causing a variety of illness from malnutrition to organ failure” —Dr. Monica Botelho of Portugal’s National Institute of Health.

In endemic regions — predominantly sub-saharan Africa and Southeast Asia — flukes are responsible for the majority of all bladder and liver cancer cases. – Dr. Joachim Richter, Associate Professor at Charité Berlin and co-editor with Botelho.

Symptoms of Parasites:

Parasites Among Us

Worms R us! When in balance, worms live with us in harmony  Out of balance, they can invade and overpower any part of the body, including the eyes.

There are hundreds of large parasites that can enter the body by various modes, take up residence, and cause a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer. For worms to make a home in the body, the body must be conducive to their existence. The body is best suited for worms if it is depleted of essential minerals and nutrients, thus acidic.

Scientists have known for decades that helminths can turn healthy cells into diseased cells. The same is true of protozoan parasites. For instance, Chagas disease is caused by infection with the protozoan parasite T. cruzi.

It has long been established by study of Ascaris lumbricoides (phylum and species) in man as well as in laboratory hosts, that the larvae, on hatching in the small intestine, migrate through the liver to the lungs. On the eighth to ninth day after infestation, they move farther into the bronchii and then, via the trachea and esophagus, return to the intestine. It has also been shown that the larvae in their migration and development often cause extreme eosinophilia, symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough. —Naval Captain David P. Osborne, chief of surgery, Bethesda Naval Hospital 

A search of Pubmed will net hundreds of published, peer-reviewed studies describing Dirofilaria in humans, a mere drop in the worm

bucket. Dirofilaria immitis is a canine parasite that can infect humans, specifically it is a roundworm, otherwise known as a nematode. For instance, whereas Dirofilaria immitis infects the heart and lungsDirofiaria repens infects the eye.

Patented Transgenic Insects

Dirofilaria, or heartworm, is transmitted by mosquitoes. An egg gets deposited through the proboscis, which is the long, flexible tube mosquitoes use to pierce the skin. There is plenty of evidence showing that mosquitoes are genetically engineered and patented.

Despite a kill-switch gene, these transgenic mosquitoes breed in the wild. The dire consequence is the contamination of the native mosquito population. Evidence from field trials show that GMO mosquitoes have been bred for disease resistance for decades.

So, why not expect the same for GMO tics and biting flies infected with agents known to transmit Lyme disease? The CDC acknowledges that Lyme disease from multiple vectors is on the rise in the US., but offers no explanation and no solutions.

Parasites & Cancer

Tumors analyzed for pathology often come back showing worms and parasites. Parasitic invasion by a nematode worm is often mistaken for “cancer” in women presenting with breast lumps.

Filarial infection of the breast is not rare, explain the authors. “The larvae enter the lymphatic vessels of the mammary gland, causing lymphangitis, fibrosis, and disruption of lymphatic drainage.” In late, inactive phases, the larvae appear on mammography as serpiginous calcifications.  —Medwire News, 2005

Slowly, the information worming its way out into the public is that parasitic infestations represent the internal conditions called “cancer.” All cancers are, in fact, parasitic infections (with high Candida levels) even if not all parasitic infections present as cancer. Worms cause cancer. based on an acidic tissue environment.

It is no secret that the American Cancer Society knows that parasites can lead to cancer. Even the CDC publishes the fact on their website  that cases or parasitic infections are misdiagnosed as cancer.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have discovered cancer cells originating in a common tapeworm may take root in people with weakened immune systems, causing cancer-like tumors. It is the first known case of a person becoming ill from cancer cells that arose in a parasite – in this case, Hymenolepis nana, the dwarf tapeworm.

The report, in the Nov. 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, raises concern that other similar cases, if they occur, may be misdiagnosed as human cancer – especially in less developed countries where this tapeworm and immune-system-suppressing illnesses like HIV are widespread.

“We were amazed when we found this new type of disease – tapeworms growing inside a person essentially getting cancer that spreads to the person, causing tumors,” said Atis Muehlenbachs, M.D., Ph.D., staff pathologist in CDC’s Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch (IDPB) and lead author of the study. “We think this type of event is rare. However, this tapeworm is found worldwide and millions of people globally suffer from conditions like HIV that weaken their immune system. So there may be more cases that are unrecognized. It’s definitely an area that deserves more study. – CDC, November 4, 2015

So why are we always the last to know?

Anti-Parasitic Protocol 

In the Age of Information, ignorance is a choice.

Today, more people diagnosed with cancer have taken matters into their own hands and begun sharing information to heal. Their choice of medicine? An inexpensive pet dewormers/antihelminths called Fenbendazole found at the local pet store. Why don’t doctors tell patients that Fenbendazole is being studied as an anti-cancer drug?

According to sources promoting this anti-worm protocol, Fenbendazole is a triple-threat to cancer: it kills cancer cells in three ways which are significant:

  1. It destroys microtubules that sustain the structure of the cancer cell and its ability to divide and multiply rapidly.It interrupts the cancer cells’ ability to process sugar, and cancer cells must metabolize sugar to survive.
  2. It boosts the production of a cancer-killing gene called p53, a gene cancer patients may lack. When p53 becomes mutated or can’t keep cancer cells in check, cancer cells can proliferate.
  3. The de-wormer also works against parasites, which might be the origin of some cancers.

Before you decide to blame all cancers on worms, realize that helminths are also being used as Immunotherapy (Helminthic Therapy) for Crohn’s disease and for malignancies. In a strange twist of fate, the earthworm’s immune system has shown an ability to kill cancer cells (in vitro). Could it be that a worm’s metabolism depends on a balance of oxygen supply and demand like their human hosts? Yes, indeed.

Is that why oxygen deprivation from EMF fields harm both host and worm?

Add Pulsed EMFs And Mix

The forces in EMFs are caused by EMF radiation, broken down into two categories:

  1. High frequency EMF include: x-rays, gamma rays, or ionizing radiation, and
  2. Low to mid frequencies include: electric power lines, radio waves, cell phones, wireless networks, smart meters, TVs, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, or non-ionizing radiation. These are the most dangerous emission, known to cause direct damage to DNA or cells.

Wireless communication (cell towers, phones, etc) is more dangerous because it produces pulsed EMFs. Pulsed EMFs are much more biologically active than are non-pulsed EMFs.  When introducing pulsed electric and magnetic fields into a population infested with parasites and yeast, you have a recipe for dis-ease disaster.

Today, the answers are available to anyone who has a curiosity to search the electronic database of scientific studies. Science has well established that EMF fields incite the growth of fungus, yeasts, molds, mycoplasmas, and parasites.

Just as the chemicals and metal constituents of synthetic medications serve as a food source for these  pathogens, so does radioactivity, which serves as an energy source for making food and spurring the growth of fungus. 

Those fungi able to “eat” radiation must possess melanin, the pigment found in many if not most fungal species. But up until now, melanin’s biological role in fungi—if any–has been a mystery.  —Albert Einstein College of Medicine, May 23, 2007 

Since May of 2011, the IARC classification for cell phone radiation internationally had been officially documented as a Class 2B Carcinogen. See the Cell Phone Radiation Emissions Chart from Least to Greatest head SAR level.

BioToxins

Humans are 1:10 human cells to microbes. What affects our smallest inhabitants also affects us. When our microbes perceive an attack from man-made frequencies, they release biotoxins in defense of their lives, even if it damages their host. Sit down before you watch this freakishly large worm (parasitic nematode) slither out of a dead spider host.

Biotoxins are released from microbial metabolism and die-off. This process drives inflammation in humans. As our microbes struggle to survive, they congest the host’s liver and impair digestion. The liver is unable to produce bile to digest fats which leads to a deficiency of fatty acids and eventually fatty liver disease, unrelated to alcohol.

Our microbes cause stress on the whole body, which leads to “Leaky Gut,” now an accepted term. Leaky Gut gave rise to the previously unknown field of neurogastroenterology, and the disorders of IBD, IBS, and Crohn’s disease. When the gut is “leaky,” microbes and their biotoxins leak into the bloodstream to infect other organs, including the brain, also known as “leaky brain.” In the brain, symptoms resemble depression, anxiety, and other neurological conditions.

Magnetic Fields 

Sleep is critical for cell repair and regeneration. When electrical and magnetic fields barrage the body, day and night, the stress hormone, cortisol, is stimulated, which prevents normal elimination (constipation) and detoxification. As cortisol rises, melatonin falls. Sleep is elusive.  Magnetic fields also alter the movement of minerals and metals the body. A loss of iron leads to anemia.

In 2005, Extremely low frequencies (ELF) have been documented as a possible carcinogen in children diagnosed with leukemia. More than a decade later, ELF exposures have only increased.

I personally suspect that the exposure to electromagnetic fields in the home and the microwaves from cell phone radiation are driving the virulence of many of the microbes that are naturally in us, and makes them aggressive and illness producing. Shielding patients from EMFs has been a more successful strategy to treating Lyme disease and to get people neurologically well than any of the antibiotics or any of the antimicrobial compounds. —Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, 2018

Solutions

1. EMF Shielding Tools

With the rise of EMF fields a new EMF shielding industry was born. Now you can use the benefits of wireless technology and shield yourself from is health depleting effects using the following tools:

  • purchase or make faraday cages for cell phones.
  • hardwire your computers with an Ethernet cable.
  • Shield smart meters with meter guards.
  • Wear Shungite, a mineraloid, or place shungite pyramids around the house. Since they become saturated. you will need to cleanse these stones often.
  • Paint bedrooms with EMF shielding paint.
  • Use EMF shielding material. Do not use aluminum foil which can shield and also reflect back EMFs.
  • Hardwire a cell phone, and computer.
  • Blue light blockers:
  • Use a blue light blocker covering for all your computer/laptop/tablet screens including cell phones.
  • Use blue blocking glasses when you are working on the computer (this does not protect skin.). Some people will use a blue light blocker (a thin film that covers the screen) and then also a 100% blue blocker of hard thick plastic at night. However be aware that many of the thinner unnoticable blue light coverings on the market do not protect 100% blue light.
  • Download a program (e.g.., Iris) onto your device that will automatically reduce blue light at night.

2. Cellphone-Free Communities:

If you can live without electronic devices, there are cellphone-free communities forming. The Intentional Sanctuary Lifestyle Alternative (ISLA), it is located on 40 acres on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua:

Cell phones, WiFi, wireless mice and keyboards, AirPods, smart watches, wireless printers, and all other wireless devices will be prohibited in public and private spaces throughout the property. Interest is growing, and prospective home-buyers have already invested 1/4 of the amount needed to break ground and begin building. There is space for up to 200 homes in the future.

3. Natural Mold and Parasite Detox

If you will continue using electronic devices, know the symptoms of mold poisoning and parasitic infections. Secondly, prevent infections of mold, yeast, and parasites, by keeping your immune system strong and allowing it to work for you by acquiring natural infections.

Eat clean, organic foods. Drink clean water, and avoid drinking public tap water, especially if the water tower has 5G technology on top. Seek out natural spring water.

Avoid factory-farmed foods—sugar and processed grains, coffee, chicken, fish, and red meat—which generate an acidic pH in the body. Choose natural medicines vs. synthetic medicines. Seek out natural healers to assist. And be aware of parasitic relationships among your peers. As within So without.

If you have a parasitic infection, try adding food grade diatomaceous earth. There are two strong herbs that can kill nematodes. One popular anti-parasitic herb is Thyme. Thyme is a culinary herb, but it also kills hook-worms, roundworms, threadworms, skin parasites and several types of harmful bacteria.

Other natural antifungal/antiparasitic herbs include: Black walnut hulls, high in iodine; wormwood, clove oil, oregano oil,  and consider a cleanse diet. For other remedies, consult a natural health care practitioner.

When the worm population in the human body overwhelms the immune system, it is called a hyperinfection. At this stage, it may be difficult to kill the worms with herbs unless you eat clean. Using frequencies to target parasites through a Rife machine or homeopathic (energy) preparations can directly target parasites in the body, gently and safely. However, the Rife machine does not always solve the problem since parasites can shift their frequency and hide in the body to evade death. A diet and lifestyle change will be necessary by changing your habits to prevent the problems of living with EMFs.

The Health Benefits of Fermented Kombucha Beverage

The Health Benefits of Fermented Kombucha Beverage

by Sally Fallon Morell, Weston A. Price Foundation
May 21, 2024

 

This recipe is from the “Beverages” section of  Nourishing Traditions and can be found on page 496. It reflects the fifth of our 11 Wise Traditions Dietary Principles: enjoy lacto-fermented condiments and beverages.

It seems surprising, even ironic, to conclude a health food cookbook, in which we have warned against sugar, yeasted foods and tea, with a tonic made from sugar, yeast and tea! But the kombucha “mushroom” (which is actually a symbiotic colony of yeast and bacteria) acts on sugar and tea to produce not only acetic and lactic acid but also small amounts of a potent detoxifying substance, glucuronic acid. Normally this organic acid is produced by the liver in sufficient quantities to neutralize toxins in the body— whether these are naturally produced toxins or poisons ingested in food and water. However, when liver function becomes overloaded, and when the body must deal with a superabundance of toxins from the environment—certainly the case with most of us today—additional glucuronic acid taken in the form of kombucha is said to be a powerful aid to the body’s natural cleansing process, a boost to the immune system and a proven prophylactic against cancer and other degenerative diseases.

More importantly, kombucha is the cure for a hot day—it tastes delicious and refreshing. A fizzy, dark colored, energizing beverage, at the same time acidic and slightly sweet, this gift to the world from the Ural mountain region of Russia qualifies as the soft drink of the twenty-first century, the answer to the scourge of cola drinks that now wreaks havoc with the health of Western populations.

Read the article: In a world full of soda, be a kombucha. for more background!

The following recipe makes 2 quarts:

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 quarts filtered water
  • 1 cup sugar [organic cane sugar]
  • 4 tea bags of organic black tea
  • ½ cup kombucha from a previous culture
  • 1 kombucha mushroom

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bring 3 quarts filtered water to boil.
  2. Add sugar and simmer until dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat, add the tea bags and allow the tea to steep until water has completely cooled.
  4. Remove tea bags. Pour cooled liquid into a 4-quart pyrex bowl and add ½ cup kombucha from previous batch.
  5. Place the mushroom on top of the liquid.
  6. Make a crisscross over the bowl with masking tape, cover loosely with a cloth or towel and transfer to a warm, dark place, away from contaminants and insects. [Alternatively, put a loose cloth over the container and tie it in place so it dosen’t fall in!]
  7. In about 7 to 10 days the kombucha will be ready, depending on the temperature.
  8. It should be rather sour and possibly fizzy, with no taste of tea remaining.
  9. Transfer to covered glass containers and store in the refrigerator. (Note: Do not wash kombucha bowls in the dishwasher.)
  10. When the kombucha is ready, your mushroom will have grown a second spongy pancake. This can be used to make other batches or given away to friends.
  11. Store fresh mushrooms in the refrigerator in a glass container—never plastic. A kombucha mushroom can be used dozens of times. If it begins to turn black, or if the resulting kombucha doesn’t sour properly, it’s a sign that the culture has become contaminated. When this happens, it’s best to throw away all your mushrooms and order a new clean one.
  12. Note: White sugar, rather than honey or Rapadura, and black tea, rather than flavored teas, give the highest amounts of glucuronic acid. Non-organic tea is high in fluoride so always use organic tea.
  13. A word of caution: Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to kombucha. If you have allergies, start with a small taste to observe any adverse effects. If you react badly, use beet kvass several weeks to detoxify and then try again.

The Garlic Mustard Enigma: Be Like Garlic Mustard

The Garlic Mustard Enigma

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
April 24, 2024

 

Spring has sprung!  ‘Tis the season of new growth, birdsong, and the pulling of garlic mustard! For those not interested in an interlude into the “weeds,” you can stop reading now.

I offer a brief segue to speak for the plants. Because soon, people will become activists in large groups to pull a plant called garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) out of the ground to end its life. Why has this tradition taken root in the greater part of the U.S., before this plant sets seed?

Did Nature get it wrong?

Or is garlic mustard misunderstood?

What is a Weed?

Herbalists know that no plant is a “weed,” since each plant has a purpose. Weeds do not exist in Nature. According to medical anthropologist Ben Belek:

Weeds don’t exist in the wild. They can’t exist. A weed is only a weed when an onlooker says it is. The property of weediness, I reflected, is little more than herbage out of place. Only when a hardworking farmer extends her field to make room for a cauliflower patch, does the hitherto wild flora that lived and thrived there suddenly transform into a nuisance. Only with foreign settlement, does indigeneity become adversarial.

If people uproot garlic mustard, it is because they are convinced it is a non-native, invasive plant. End of discussion. However, if we can align ourselves with the plant kingdom, then we can better understand them. We are not so different from our plant allies. Most humans are transplants. When humans are forced to leave their home, it is called eminent domain.

If Ends of Discussions do not sit right with you, then you might be a contrarian! You might align with garlic mustard, the contrarian of the plant world!  Any good contrarian, anyone who rejects popular opinion, would not let the discussion end.

Our Nature Is Nature

Pulling garlic mustard where it is abundant prolongs its run. It also robs a great deal of nitrogen, macro- and micronutrients, and organic matter from the ecosystem.— Dr. Berndt Blossey, Cornell University

As we have begun this discussion, let us continue with some basic definitions that humans ascribe to the plant kingdom.

Invasive plants are plants that have been introduced to an ecosystem and are poised to take over.  According to Naturalists, invasive plants have aggressive root systems that spread long distances. They may smother other plants in the area. Some produce chemicals which impact the growth of plants around them. Basically, these plants dominate and some claim they don’t offer the benefits to local fauna. [There are politicians who qualify as invasive.]

Consider the Dandelion (Taxacum officinale), a transplant from “somewhere else” that has naturalized itself in every part of the world but Antarctica! Sound similar to human migration? Today, the dandelion is listed as invasive only in Oregon and Alaska. Perhaps more people have come to appreciate her gifts and place in the world.

Dandelions were once native to Eurasia, before they have become native everywhere.  It is generally believed that the dandelion was first brought to North America on the Mayflower for its medicinal uses. In Europe, China, India and Russia dandelions were used to treat skin, infection, liver (root), kidneys (leaf) and digestive problems (the root balances HCL, aids constipation).

In Chinese Medicine, liver is known to be the seat of anger. Thus, dandelion leaves and roots help to detoxify an angry liver. As a flower essence, the sunny countenance of the dandelion works with the solar plexus to release trauma related to fears, ego, self worth, and personal power.

Non-native plants are also introduced plants, but they don’t have the negative reputation that invasive plants do. They could produce foliage or blooms that benefit local wildlife and they don’t take over their habitat. Dandelion qualifies here, too.

Native plants are well adapted to survive in their environment. They typically need less water, less fertilizing, and overall less care to fit in and thrive. Stay long enough in one place, and plants qualify as “native.”

Over time, the dandelion has gathered many names from the locals. In the case of the solar, resilient dandelion, she is known as all three: “native, non-native, invasive.” Beyond human classification, her flowers make a tasty jelly, while her roots make a great coffee alternative as a tea.

Garlic Mustard Misunderstood

Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), too, has a lot to offer humanity. However, she is called pernicious, exotic, and a Class A noxious weed on a list of plants to be controlled. That’s a lot to overcome. With all the publicity, this plant that has captured the attention of plant lovers and haters, alike.  Insults aside, who is she really?

A member of the cabbage and broccoli family (Brassicaceae), garlic mustard grows 2-3 (up to 6) feet tall all over the Northeast and Midwest U.S. Lower leaves are kidney-shaped with scalloped edges. In spring, roots and new leaves smell like garlic, and small, four-petal white flowers appear clustered at stem ends, followed by long, skinny seedpods.

The family Brassicacea does not consider her evil. As a medicinal, the leaves and stems of garlic mustard are: antiasthmatic, antiscorbutic, antiseptic, deobstruent, diaphoretic, vermifuge and vulnerary.

According to Maude Grieve’s, A Modern Herbal, “The leaves used to be taken internally as a sudorific and deobstruent, to promote sweating and to treat bronchitis, asthma and eczema. Externally, leaves are antiseptic in gangrenes and ulcers, and against itching caused by bites and stings. The juice of the leaves taken alone or boiled into a syrup with honey is found serviceable in dropsy. The herb, when eaten as a salad, warms the stomach and strengthens the digestive faculties. The seeds have been used as a snuff to excite sneezing.”

This plant has the spicy tang of mustard with a hint of garlic, and can be used as a base for pesto and sauces, and to flavor salads, soups and other dishes. That qualifies as sassy, not noxious.

However, eating her leaves has not worked well as a control strategy. Plant stands can produce more than 62,000 seeds per square meter, and can self-pollinate, which helps it rapidly spread, to displace native plants along trails, in forests, and on riverbanks.

Out of the way, garlic mustard minds her own business, perfectly happy in a group, not bothering anyone, friend to the deer. After all, in the wilds of Nature, plants with such a bad reputation must work in creative ways to survive.

Self-Regulating Life Style

To survive, garlic mustard populations secrete a compound called sinigrin, a chemical that deters the growth of other plants and decreases competition.  In 2016, researchers at the University of Illinois found that within three decades, “sinigrin concentrations decrease as garlic mustard populations age, demonstrating evolutionary change due to ecological processes.” Garlic mustard declines when it reaches a balance with native species that re-colonize invaded areas.

One of the things we’ve seen over the last 20 to 30 years is that garlic mustard becomes less of an issue, and actually balances out over time.—Adam Davis, ecologist, U of I, and USDA Agricultural Research Service

Garlic mustard is self-regulating. Its life cycle runs about 20-30 years. As the plants age, they die off completely. Other species are then able to move back in.

If humans were to look closer to garlic mustard’s example, we might find we are not so different. Nature is self-regulating, just as we are.

The more deer in the area, the more garlic mustard. The deer are forced to eat the garlic mustard instead of the native plant species. Garlic mustard plays a role in defense of the collective plant world.

Doing Less is More

decade-long Cornell University study of garlic mustard has shown that avoidance is the best way to manage garlic mustard.  Conservation biologist, Dr. Berndt Blossey, says:

Pulling up large swaths of garlic mustard is not only futile, it is worse than leaving it alone. It bears echoing: When well-intentioned people rip out this stuff, it actually prolongs the infestation period because the plant self-limits (more on that below) if undisturbed. Also, these mass garlic mustard-ectomy events do more damage to the ecosystem than the target species itself does. —Dr. Berndt Blossey

The study found (see video): “Side-by-side controlled trials showed that where garlic mustard is “managed,” the plants are considerably larger, and cover a much higher percentage of a site (at times by an order of magnitude) than the sections where nothing has been done. Not only that, but biomass on the managed sites tended to be roughly stable over the ten-year time frame studied, whereas it declined year after year in the unmanaged plots.”

Blossey says people wrongly conclude that “maple sap flows up from the roots during the day; goldenrod causes allergy symptoms; and garlic mustard wipes out native wildflowers and adversely affects salamanders.” Upon closer examination, these conclusions are demonstrably 100% false:

It turns out that while garlic mustard competes with native species, it does not displace them where deer are excluded or drastically reduced in number.  And it is earthworms, not our maligned invasive plant, which make a neighborhood less attractive to salamanders. —Dr. Berndt Blossey

Though it appears that garlic mustard displaces native vegetation with its prolific growth, what is really going on is a lack of cultivation of those native species.

Nature teaches that one can have intellect but not wisdom. Wisdom is not a group activity.  When it comes to the ways of garlic mustard, wisdom beats activism.

Culinary Benefits of Garlic Mustard

Why not eat the Invasives?

Garlic mustard has not only established herself in Nature, as food for deer, but is well known in foraging and culinary circles, and thus, local human economies. You can collect and dry the seeds of garlic mustard to make your own garlic mustard edibles, mayonnaise or dairy-free ranch dressing.  You can also purchase pre-made mustard.

Or take a hint from the Forager Chef and make yourself some garlic mustard shoots with ramp butter! Just make sure you harvest the ramps responsibly, as forager and author, Sam Thayer teaches!

According to Pascal Baudar, author of Wildcrafted Fermentation, a book about lacto fermentation of common wild edibles, stone ground black mustard seeds (Brassica nigra) make plant-based cheeses, fermenting mushrooms, sauces, soups, condiments, and more. Baudar says:

I don’t know why this resource is simply wasted, an L.A. Times article from 2019 called the plant “evil” because it covers our local hills. With such narrative, you’re going nowhere in terms of positive solutions. I wish the city had a special program to look at culinary solutions for the abundant wild food surrounding us.

I mean, instead of spending money on chemicals you probably could make money selling gourmet organic mustard with the profit going back to helping the environment. Why not? Some people would make a point to buy it.

Of course, in spring time you can also do all kinds of recipe with the leaves and flowers.  I think it’s much more creative than spraying Round-Up or wasting this delicious “unwanted” resource by throwing it away.Organic all the way.

Bauder shares garlic mustard recipes on his June 15, 2022 post Facebook page: “These days, I use a different technique. I soak the seeds for 3 days in a mix of 2 parts vinegar and 1 part wine and was able to make this wild “Dijon” mustard in 5 minutes during a class last weekend. Those “Invasive” plants can truly be gourmet food and so easy to procure. It took me 30 minutes to gather enough seeds to fill nearly 2 cups.

Be Like Garlic Mustard

If you have stood by, wondering why people expend so much time and energy on digging up plants in the wild, without understanding their unique qualities, then you, too, are a contrarian. Why not celebrate this unique quality with some garlic mustard, and dandelion tea?

Gabor Maté, MD: Modern Culture Is Traumatizing and NOT Normal

Gabor Maté, MD: Modern Culture Is Traumatizing and NOT Normal

partial transcript of Commune video courtesy of Mad in America
February 4, 2024

 

 

 

From Commune: “In this society, there’s an assumption which shows up in how we talk about things. So when somebody does something selfish or greedy, what do we say: ‘Oh, that’s just human nature.’ But there’s an assumption in that about human nature. Interestingly enough, it’s rarely the case that somebody does something generous or kind or supportive, that people say, ‘Oh that’s just human nature.’ And yet in actual truth, that is human nature, and the greed and the selfishness are not human nature. It’s not that people can’t be greedy or selfish or aggressive or competitive, individualistic and just plain narcissistic . . . But that doesn’t mean it’s our nature.

It’s like, try to understand the zebra. Where would you want to study the zebra — in a zoo, in a small cage in a zoo, or out in the savannah where the zebra evolved and has lived? Well if you really want to understand the nature of the zebra, you wouldn’t study them in a zoo. And so drawing conclusions about human nature from how we live in this society is like trying to understand a wild animal inside a cage . . . What we consider to be ‘normal,’ this ‘normal’ culture that we have here, there’s nothing normal about it, in terms of human needs and human potential. In fact, it’s that gap between human needs and human potential, and the conditions under which we live now, that creates so much illness of mind and body, not to mention so much tension, so much strain, so much hostility, so much division in society in general. And so this ‘commune’ concept actually relates to how human beings evolved: we evolve as communal creatures; we could not have evolved otherwise.

And what we call ‘civilization’ . . . if you just look at our species, if our existence can be summed up in an hour, then until about six minutes ago we lived in small band hunter-gatherer groups, in a communal context. And we evolved in that, and that is our nature because that’s how nature helped us evolve. Every animal has a particular nature that is suited to its particular environment. Now humans can adapt to an infinite range of environments, but that doesn’t mean we do very well in all of them. So, what is considered ‘normal’ in this culture, that is to say what is the statistical norm, it’s got nothing to do with what is normal for human beings in general. And it’s that gap between the ‘norm’ in this culture, and what is really the norm in terms of human evolution and human requirements and human potential, that is the source of so much dysfunction, whether on the mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual, physiological, or social-political levels.

. . . We think we’re living in a scientific age, but actually it’s a very selective relation to the science that we have. We relate only to the science that justifies or supports this particular way of life, this particular socioeconomic system, this particular way of practicing medicine. But we completely ignore the science that shows the interconnected co-arising of phenomena. So that shows up in every realm. Now my colleague and mentor Dan Siegel who’s a psychiatrist here in L.A. has this concept called interpersonal neurobiology, which is . . . a way of understanding the nature of our brains, which is that our brains, our nervous systems are not separate. That how I relate to you, my energetic state, when I look at you or speak to you or vice versa actually affects your nervous system. So we co-create each other all the time. This co-creation, this interpersonal neurobiology, is most dominant of course when we’re small and very much under the influence of our parents and their particular backgrounds and vicissitudes or triumphs. But it’s true all our lives. So our interpersonal nature means that our neurobiology is interpersonal. Now being a physician, I simply remove the word neuro- and I say our biology is interpersonal. So that what happens to us physiologically, and specifically, from the medical point of view, when illness shows up, it is not a unique, isolated event in some isolated, separate, physiological organism or organ, but in fact it’s a manifestation of a life lived in a certain context.

So my friend the physician and psychiatrist Lewis Mehl-Madrona, who’s partly of Lakota Sioux background, gave me a very interesting example when I talked to him. And he said that in the Lakota tradition, when somebody gets ill, the community says, ‘Thank you. Your illness manifests the dysfunction of our community. You’re the canary in the mine. So your healing is our healing, and our healing is your healing.’

Now consider Western medicine. You go to a nephrologist with your kidney disease; they don’t know about your life, don’t even ask about it, except maybe do you smoke and drink. Cardiologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists — they never look at it from the communal point of view, they just look at the particular pathology as if it was only a biological manifestation in a particular organ. So that’s the Western medicine, and what’s incredibly both interesting and . . . frustrating about it is that we have all kinds of science to show that that’s not how it is.

. . . So that’s the first theme here today is just the interpersonal nature of and interconnected nature of all phenomena, as taught by spiritual traditions, and as has now been validated by modern science, and is virtually completely ignored by modern society.”

How to Produce the Healthiest Foods Imaginable

How to Produce the Healthiest Foods Imaginable

Story-at-a-Glance
  • Low-carb/high-fat diets ultimately backfire because they inhibit glucose metabolism, which is the most efficient form of energy production in the mitochondria; they also impair thyroid function
  • One of the reasons why ketogenic and carnivore diets are usually helpful for a time is because, if implemented properly, you’re radically reducing your intake of omega-6 fats, linoleic acid (LA) in particular, which is one of the primary drivers of ill health
  • LA is a primary driver of disease, in large part due to its detrimental effect on mitochondrial function and, hence, energy production
  • Your body has a certain amount of energy and a number of biological processes that it can turn on or turn off with that energy pool. The more energy you have available, the more functions your body can turn on. When your energy production is lower than required to maintain all functions, your body must downregulate certain functions, which ultimately results in problems
  • One of the easiest ways to assess how much energy your body is producing is to take your body temperature. Take your temperature 30 to 40 minutes after breakfast and midday. You want to see a rise in temperature

The interview above features Ashley Armstrong, who’s an expert in two areas. One is producing some of the healthiest food in the United States, and the second is understanding how your body uses it and how to select the right types of food to optimize your biology, based on the late biologist and thyroid expert, Ray Peat’s, principles of bioenergetic medicine. She also is a certified personal trainer with a Ph.D., MS and BS in engineering.

Like many others who are trying to improve their health, Armstrong tried low-carb diets, fasting, keto and even carnivore diets in the past. But while these all led to improvements initially, they didn’t eliminate them, which ultimately led her to investigate Peat’s principles.

“Ray Peat, he honestly saved my life and I owe so much to that man,” she says. “I’m forever grateful for him. The biggest wake-up for me was measuring my body temperature. I was on a carnivore diet and measured my body temperature — it was 96.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
I was like, wow, no wonder my hair is thinning. No wonder my complexion is so pale. No wonder I’m not sleeping through the night. There was just a number of red flags. That body temperature measurement just woke me up. It’s what I needed to [realize] I’m not thriving, I’m just surviving.
I’ve been implementing Dr. Peat’s principles for over three years now. I have more energy in life than I think I’ve ever had, even as a teenager. And it’s just amazing to see how being not restricted with your food, just being strategic with macros, types of food, how powerful that can be for your energy production.”
The Problem With Low-Carb and Keto

As I’ve detailed in previous articles over the past year, low-carb/high-fat diets ultimately backfire because they inhibit glucose metabolism, which is the most efficient form of energy production in your mitochondria; they also impair thyroid function. Your thyroid is crucial for energy production, and if your thyroid doesn’t work, you’re down the creek without a paddle.

One of the reasons for this is because ketogenic diets increase the stress hormones — cortisol, glucagon and adrenaline. On the other hand, one of the reasons why ketogenic and carnivore diets are usually helpful for a time is because, if implemented properly, you’re radically reducing your intake of omega-6 fats, linoleic acid (LA) in particular, which is one of the primary drivers of ill health.

Energy Production Is Key for Overall Health

As explained by Armstrong, the best way to understand the bioenergetic principle is to think of your body as a system. It has a certain amount of energy, and a number of biological processes that it can turn on or turn off with that energy source.

The greater your energy pool, the more functions your body can turn on. When your energy production is lower than required to maintain all functions, your body must downregulate certain functions, which ultimately results in problems. The human body is designed to promote survival, so it’s going to prioritize things like your heart rate.

Functions that aren’t necessarily vital for survival in the immediate moment, like sex hormone production, reproductive function, digestion, sleep and high cognitive thinking, get downregulated first. When you increase energy production, however, your body can then expend energy on those functions and bring them “back online.”

Using Body and Pulse Measurements as Guides

As explained by Armstrong, one of the easiest ways to assess how much energy your body is producing is to take your body temperature.

“High stress hormones can keep your waking body temperature elevated,” she says, “so you’ve got to do your waking temperature 30 to 40 minutes after breakfast, and then I like to do midday. You want to see that temperature rise.
For many who are on low-carb or who are living on stress hormones, they’re going to have potentially high waking body temperature, but after breakfast, that temperature may drop. That’s because the food you’re consuming is lowering your stress hormones and your actual body temperature is then better exposed.
So we want to see that body temperature rise. And I love how both of us are so passionate about linoleic acid. As human linoleic acid consumption has gone up, human body temperature has gone down. So, the types of fats that we are consuming in our diet is impacting energy production in a negative way.
It’s shown with obesity rates out the roof. It’s shown with the decline in our body temperature. It’s shown with the decline in our healthy life expectancy, which is bizarre as a First-World country. There are just so many profound effects.
But when we just think of it as energy production — the more energy we can give our body to be able to perform functions, the better it’s going to function. I asked this question to someone who is really adamant about fasting. I said, ‘If you’ve got two bodies, one body that’s fasted and the other body that is fed nourishing food, which body is going to thrive and function better?’
It’s obvious. If you add a third person fed more of a standard American diet, of course maybe fasting is going to make you feel better, but you can elevate yourself a step above. You don’t have to rely on fasting to increase energy production. Your body is not going to increase energy when you’re not [putting] energy in.”

Indeed, when it comes to fasting, one of the primary benefits is that it lowers the fuel for gram-negative bacteria that produce endotoxin in your gut. Low-carb does this as well. Endotoxin, estrogen, LA and stress hormones will all decrease your mitochondrial function, mediated in big part by your thyroid function. Those are the big things that need to be reduced to enhance your mitochondrial function and energy production within the mitochondria.

How LA Harms Your Energy Production

As mentioned, LA is a primary driver of disease, in large part due to its detrimental effect on mitochondrial function and, hence, energy production. Your body can use both fat and glucose for energy. Muscle, in particular, will use fat for fuel, as will your heart. So, fat is not bad, but it’s important to realize that different fats affect your body in different ways, so it’s crucial to get the right fats. Armstrong explains:

“The different types of fatty acid molecules have drastically different structures and those impact the internal environment inside of us. They impact how your body is producing energy. The more saturated we can become, the better our internal environment is going to be.
When someone goes low-carb, maybe they reduce the amount of packaged food that they’re eating that contains a ton of vegetable oil and linoleic acid, and so potentially they’re resaturating some of their tissues.
But when you learn about what livestock are being fed these days, then you realize that a high animal fat diet can still contain quite a bit of PUFAs [polyunsaturated fats] and linoleic acid, depending on what those animals ate. So, think it’s important to consider the amount of each macronutrient that you’re intaking because that can have profound impacts on your energy production.
Saturating your tissues is going to take you to the next level, but adding in appropriate levels of carbohydrates is going to allow you to take your consciousness and energy production level to the next level [beyond that].”

The types of carbs you eat matter, however. I’m convinced the ideal carbohydrate is fresh, ripe fruit. Ripe is the key here. Of course, some fruits are better than others. Watermelon, for example, is among the best. Watermelon with feta cheese and a little mint on top makes for a delicious snack.

Aside from containing a lot of water, watermelon also contains a substance called citrulline, which converts into arginine, a precursor for nitric oxide (NO). NO is important to your body, but the caveat is that it needs to come from real food. Drugs like Cialis or Viagra, which act by increasing NO, will accelerate your path toward premature death. Artificial citrulline and other synthetic amino acids that raise NO are also best avoided.

“In Michigan, I rely a lot on frozen fruit,” Armstrong says. “In the summertime I’ll go to strawberry fields and pick strawberries when fresh and then freeze a ton of them. Same thing with blueberries and peaches. And then I rely on a lot of apples in the winter because apples are abundant around here and can be stored.”

Juices also have their place. Cold-pressed, pulp-free orange juice, for example, is a good choice. The reason you want pulp-free is because if you’re like most people, you have gram-negative, endotoxin bacteria in your gut that will thrive on the pulp, hence increasing endotoxin production.

So, if you have an unhealthy microbiome, pulp-free orange juice is a great carb that will gently and safely allow you to enter the higher carb world. As your microbiome improves, then you can transition to whole fruits and berries, which is, I believe, far superior to juices.

How to Produce the Best Eggs

Segueing into the topic of food production, Armstrong’s farm produces some of the highest quality eggs I’ve ever come across, and the feed recipe I use for my own chickens came from her. But I recently discovered something that could make them even better, and that is to allow the chickens to scratch for their own food.

Their ideal food is insects fresh from the ground, and while I previously thought chickens couldn’t get enough food this way, meaning you had to give them something, that may actually not be true.

Unfortunately, in places where the ground freezes, chickens will not be able to sustain themselves on insects, and you definitely do NOT want to feed your chickens dehydrated bugs. Why? Because the bugs are raised on corn and soy, making them very high in LA.

But in places like South Florida, for example, you can easily produce top-notch eggs, quality-wise, by allowing your chickens to peck for insects, without giving them any supplemental feed. Armstrong is also making plans to let her chickens forage for bugs year-round:

“I think that would be the ideal condition, and I have an image in my head of what I want to bring our farm to in the future — a greenhouse where we’ve got fodder growing on the ground and a worm farm … so [the chickens] will get abundant bugs in the winter. That’s what I want to move towards, but that requires a lot of financial investment. So we’ll get there one day.”
The Feed Has Dramatic Impacts on Animal Foods

The feed Armstrong developed, which I’ve been using as well, results in eggs that have about 75% less LA than conventional eggs. When it comes to conventional eggs, the LA is really the only problem. When the chickens are fed an ideal diet, the yolk in the egg is one of the best, most nutritious foods imaginable. The only thing that comes close is organ meat.

Egg yolks are the ultimate food; the problem is 99.99% of the eggs produced in this country are not that good. I don’t care if they say free range, grass fed, organic, it doesn’t matter. They’re terrible because they have four times more LA than they should. As noted by Armstrong:

“It’s important to consider organic soybeans have the same amount of linoleic acid as non-organic soybeans. Whether it’s grown conventionally, organically does not change the fatty acid composition of soybeans. You don’t want to be eating eggs from chickens fed a bunch of soy vegetable oil and other high omega-6 PUFA foods.”

According to Armstrong, the feed of the chickens may even determine the eggs’ allergenicity. In other words, if you’re allergic to eggs, you could potentially be able to eat the eggs from correctly-fed chickens.

“What is soy high in? Phytoestrogens that can be very problematic for some people. If a chicken is eating phytoestrogens that can be problematic for humans, those get passed through into the eggs. We have a number of customers that cannot eat any other eggs, but they’re totally fine with our eggs. And it’s because of the diet of the chicken.
So if you have allergic reactions or problems with eggs, try a different source where they’re not fed soy. Some people can be allergic to corn as well, and that allergenicity can pass through the egg as well. But it seems like soy is the biggest culprit.
But be careful of many corn and soy-free feeds, because those are high-PUFA ingredients like sunflower, flax, fish oil, vegetable oil and safflower oil. And so, just be really careful of your source, and ask what the chickens are eating. But yes, allergenicity of eggs I think really depends on what the chicken eats.”
LA-Rich Animal Feed Is Now Impacting Human Energy Production and Health

All of that said, it’s still crucial to ensure your chickens have enough food, be it fresh insects or a carefully planned feed that is low in LA and high in healthy saturated fats and other nutrients.

“Your chicken is not going to thrive if it’s underfed,” Armstrong says. “Your chicken is not going to thrive if it doesn’t have food. I am trying to boost the metabolic rate of our chickens as high as possible. Just like us, chickens are monogastric single stomach animals, the types of fat that they are fed, the types of fat that we are fed impacts the types of fat inside of us.
This is a little bit different for ruminant animals — cows, goats — but for monogastric chickens, pigs, their diet is very important. And this is why I am so passionate about it, because we have been lied to and convinced that saturated fat is bad for us.
So, you’ve seen a huge push for PUFAs in our diet. This is going beyond just human dietary choices. This is impacting our livestock food. And this is having profound impacts on not only livestock health, but also the food that we’re consuming …
Even in the dairy industry, they’re creating things called rumen-protected fats. They are PUFAs that in a typical rumen digestion system can go through the process called hydrogenation, which turns the PUFA into saturated fat.
They are designing rumen-protected fats so that the PUFA is passed through the rumen. The PUFA content of milk is increasing. That means any dairy fat — butter, cream, whole milk. The PUFA content of beef fat is increasing. And this is by design … Lard and chicken fat from conventional animals has the same amount of PUFA as canola oil.
This is profound. We have changed the types of fat inside of us. I think the linoleic acid content of humans has increased 136%. That is changing how our body is making energy inside of us. The types of fat we consume day-to-day have a long life inside of us — 600 days. So, the types of fat we’re consuming day to day impacts our energy production for years to come.
It’s unfortunate because this is just the reality for a lot of people, and that’s why I’m so passionate about it. Our food system is designed in a way that is not setting us up for success. That’s why I want to try to change it by going back to how our food was produced 100 years ago, where there was appropriate amounts of PUFAs in foods, small amounts, and saturated fat was the predominant fat source for both livestock and humans.”
High PUFA Diets Shut Down Your Metabolism

As explained by Armstrong, in nature, animals increase their PUFA consumption up to a certain amount to initiate torpor, which means their metabolism is so downregulated that they can survive the winter without eating. Think about that. Can you function optimally if your diet is one meant for hibernation? In that state, you have to eat fewer and fewer calories to avoid weight gain, which results in undernourishment and poor energy production.

“I try to keep my PUFA consumption as low as possible,” Armstrong says. “You can easily track that in Cronometer and see what your total PUFA, total linoleic acid content is per day. If you have four conventional eggs, you’re already at about 5 grams of linoleic acid in a day. And I would want people to be lower than that. All foods contain some amount of linoleic acid, so even milk is going to have a little bit.”

There’s no question that LA is NOT an essential fat, even though it’s categorized as such. It’s not essential because nearly all foods contain it. It’s virtually impossible to become deficient in LA if you eat food, regardless of what that food is.

Another fat that likely IS essential, but isn’t widely recognized as such, is the odd-chain saturated fats (OCFAs) found primarily in dairy. You can learn more about this in “The Amazing Benefits of Dairy Fat.” There’s also evidence suggesting that if you don’t get enough OCFAs in your diet, then high saturated fat intake might become problematic.

So, you need these odd-chain saturated fats. That’s why you need butter. You need milk. These are essential. Your optimized biology and health is dependent on these foods, because, again, the OCFAs help increase your body’s energy pool. They boost energy production, which will improve how your entire body functions.

In the interview we also discuss how dairy improves the health benefits of eggs, as the calcium in the dairy reduces the conversion of tryptophan in the egg white into serotonin. Serotonin is another compound you simply do not want too much of.

You also want to make sure you’re having enough carbohydrates with that meal. Carbohydrate oxidation produces 50% more carbon dioxide (CO2), so simply having carbs with your eggs will raise your CO2 level, which is very important for health.

“So, for breakfast, have eggs, milk, some honey or maple syrup and fruit. Boom, there you go. You’re drastically reducing the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin and it’s a simple meal,” Armstrong says.
More Information

We discuss a lot more in this interview than what I’ve covered here, so for more fascinating details, be sure to listen to the whole interview. For example, we discuss the pros and cons of egg whites, and why most cheese sold in the U.S. is less than healthy, as many cheese producers are using a microbial rennet made by Pfizer that is derived from mold that eats genetically modified corn and soy.

We also discuss various ideas for improving the feed of chickens, and how to maintain maximum egg production in the winter with incandescent lights and red light therapy.

If you want to purchase eggs from Armstrong’s farm, Angel Acres Egg Co., visit angel-acresfarm.com. She’s also started a new private member food system that offers milk, cheese, low-PUFA pork and low-PUFA chicken, called Nourish Cooperative. Both will ship farm-fresh food right to your door.

The Mysterious Human Heart

The Mysterious Human Heart
New evidence suggests the heart is not a pump

by Greg Reese, The Reese Report
December 25, 2023

 



Rudolf Steiner, whose teachings led to anthroposophical medicine, biodynamic farming, and the Waldorf school, said that the heart is a seven-sided regular form that sits in an imaginary box in the chest. “Regular” means that all seven sides are identical. Plato described five platonic solids, and Steiner said there was a sixth one. He also said that the heart is not a pump.

This claim was vindicated by Frank Chester, who figured out how to design a seven-sided regular form. This sixth platonic solid is now called the chestahedron, and it fits perfectly inside a cube at an angle of 36 degrees off center to the left, the exact same angle that the heart sits in the chest. When submerged in water and spun, two counter-rotating vortices are formed. Recent scientific studies have shown that these two vortices facilitate the closing of the valves. And when the vortices don’t form properly, blood clots will appear.

The man who unfolded a thousand hearts, Paco Torrent Guasp, discovered that the heart is a single muscular band folded over itself in a spiraling pattern. The heart itself is a vortex of tissue. It is not a pump, it is a vortex machine.

For centuries it was believed that matter can only exist in three states. Such as water, which can exist as liquid, ice, and vapor. Human cells are seventy percent water but most of this water is not in any of these three states. We have recently learned that with water, there is a fourth state. This fourth state is called the plasma state, gel phase, exclusion zone or structured water. And this is what pushes your blood through the entire cardiovascular system.

Fueled by Infrared energy from its environment, the water in our body becomes an electrical propulsion system. A certain percentage of the water in our body becomes structured water, and the rest remains normal liquid water, or bulk water. The structured water becomes negatively charged and forms the gelatinous outer walls of our capillaries, veins, and arteries. These negatively charged outer walls continuously propel the positively charged bulk water within, carrying the blood with it. This propulsion system will run indefinitely so long as it stays charged. And the way you charge it, is with the earth’s electromagnetic field, infrared energy, and positive thought.

The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto has scientifically demonstrated that water exposed to loving human words and thoughts is transformed into its natural hexagonal shape. It becomes structured at a molecular level based on our positive intention. This new model shows that it is the blood that pumps the heart, not the other way around. And in order to keep the flow strong and healthy, our best medicine is to connect to the earth, get sunlight, love ourselves, and love one another with physical touch.

Viktor Schauberger spent his life studying water and found that in the natural world, water will always create vortices along its path. Schauberger learned that this spiral action is what structures the water in nature. And that when subjected to modern man made water treatment, it loses its structure. Schauberger’s work led him to believe that one could generate energy out of a vortex. He described it as an energy implosion as opposed to an energy explosion.

Dr Tom Cowan, who has written about this in, Human Heart Cosmic Heart, has an interesting theory which may explain the saying, “a heart of gold.”

Another recent discovery, is that gold in it’s purest form does not appear to be gold at all. Under the right conditions, normal physical gold can be transformed into a fine white powder known as monoatomic gold. This monoatomic gold has been studied by multiple advanced laboratories and it has very strange properties. It can be made to levitate and disappear. Monoatomic gold is superconductive. And many would argue that this is what the alchemists were after.

One of the ways of turning metallic gold into monoatomic gold is by putting it through a high-speed vortex. When this transformation occurs, there is a flash of light, and a forty-four percent loss in weight. Dr Cowan believes that the trace amounts of gold in our blood is transformed into monoatomic gold as it travels through the double vortices in the heart. Creating the spark of life.

There are hints of a hidden science being studied and suppressed that involves counter-rotational spin. The NAZIs most classified project, Die Glocke, involved the counter-rotational spin of a mysterious fuel mix that included liquid mercury.

This vortex system creates an energetic field around the heart. It creates the heat within our body. And it raises a whole new set of questions about spin.

The Miraculous Nature of Water

The Miraculous Nature of Water
The structure of water is transformed by human thoughts

by Greg Reese, The Reese Report
December 22, 2023

 

 



The stated mission of modern science is to dominate and control nature. It was born of the philosophies of Francis Bacon who suggested we could learn “to command nature in action”, and of René Descartes who wrote that mankind could become “the masters and possessors of nature.” This was science flipped on its head because the previous scientific philosophy saw nature as a perfect creation of god to be observed and understood. Take for instance, water. Without water, we would not exist. And so the true value is in understanding the nature of water so that we can flow with it, not control it.

For over 20 years, Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, studied the groundbreaking science of how the molecular structure in water transforms when exposed to human words, thoughts, and sounds. Dr. Emoto would simply label a sample of water with different written words such as “love and gratitude” or “I hate you.” He would then freeze the water samples and capture them as they crystallized with high-speed microscopic photography. The results were astonishing. The crystals formed from water exposed to the words, “love and gratitude” were clear, attractive, and symmetrical. And the crystals formed from “I hate you” were distorted, asymmetrical, and opaque.

Over and over again, water samples exposed to positive intention formed the hexagonal snowflake-like patterns indicative of structured water found in nature, and samples exposed to negative intention would lose its structure and mutate, which was also found to be true with samples of polluted water.

Decades of repeated experiments have clearly shown that water is transformed when exposed to human word, thought, and sound. Dr. Emoto theorized that this is because water has consciousness. Russian studies have shown that water is imprinted by the energy of its environment, and it retains memory from everything it comes in contact with, even when separated.

During the discovery of the genome, Dr Bruce Lipton was studying cellular behavior at Stanford University and discovered that our genes switch on or off based on their environment. Human beings are made of about 50 trillion cells and each cell is its own little creature that eats, digests, reproduces, and forms communities. Each individual cell is constantly reading the quality of its environment through it’s outer membrane skin. This includes stressful emotions sensed via chemicals in the bloodstream. And when we are stressed, negative, or fearful, then our cells will switch into their own version of fight or flight mode. They will stop the process of self-healing and begin the process of self-defense. And conversely, when we are feeling positive emotions, our cells will be switched into self-healing. And the body will thrive. Dr. Lipton’s discoveries were ignored by modern science, who opted for drugs and surgery over love and happiness.

This began the field of Epigenetics, and answered the question of Nature vs Nurture. Experiments have shown that a living creature will thrive on a genetic level when nurtured. Malignant tumor cells have been reversed and many people claim to have cured themselves of all sorts of disease, including cancer, by shifting and maintaining their mental attitude into a positive one. Official science will predictably call this “spontaneous remission” but it is well documented.

The cell protects itself by its membrane, which has a coating of negatively charged sugar crystals in a suspension of water. Most people think of water as being very special because of its ease of existence in three different states; liquid, ice, and vapor. But the water in our body is not in any of these states. The water that makes up our cells is in the gel state.

Science is now recognizing a fourth state of water. Known as the gel stateEZ water for Exclusion Zone, or Structured water. This fourth state is an electro-polar state wherein some of the water becomes a negatively charged gel and the rest, known as bulk water, maintains a positive charge and remains more like a liquid. This electro-propulsion creates movement and kinetic energy. This is how the blood is moved throughout our body. The latest evidence shows that the blood is pumping the heart, not the other way around. And it’s the gel state water that propels the blood.

To thrive, this natural propulsion system requires a connection to the Earth, sunlight, positive human connection, and peace of mind. Our body is made up of over fifty trillion cells and each one’s health is dependent upon our own. Our happiness, or lack thereof, not only affects our health, it affects the health of everyone who enters our environment. So if you’d like to make the world a better place, then learn how to be happy.

Regenerative Agroecology: The Necessary Solution to Counter ‘Climate Change’

Regenerative Agroecology: The Necessary Solution to Counter ‘Climate Change’

 

“The colonizing mentality sees nature as dead matter to be exploited and used. Colonizers do not see self-organisation. They do not see creativity. They just see control and profits while bringing disease and ill health, destroying the land, the soil, and the water.

False solutions, such as synthetic foods, involve a further separation from nature. But the separation between us and nature is the root of the problem.

We are now at a watershed between perpetuating the mechanistic model or choosing to live in harmony with nature and its regenerative and creative capacities. We need to bring life back into the soil. In the micro-organisms of the soil we find the life we cannot see, which is the basis of our health and the solution to the climate problem.

The real solution to the ecological and climate crisis does not lie in creating substitutes for food or expanding the industrial paradigm, but in scaling the initiatives all over the world that are already working on healing our connection with the Earth through care.”

 

by Dr. Vandana Shiva, President of Navdanya International
December 12, 2023

 

The industrial agriculture paradigm, which sees the world as a machine, and not as a self-organized living system, has created devastation on the planet, while contributing significantly to the issue of climate change. Navdanya International’s latest graphic report, ‘Regeneration is Life‘, presented at Cop 28 in Dubai, analyzes the actual causes at the root of climate change and highlights the true regenerative solutions against the false solutions proposed by polluters.

As pointed out in the report, the ecologically destructive practices of industrial agriculture account for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), making the global food system one of the main culprits behind climate change and environmental degradation.

The fertilizer industry is responsible for more than a fifth of total estimated greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture systems worldwide. Factory farms are significant contributors to soil and water pollution. The FAO considers that livestock in CAFOs accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while some estimates put the figure above  30%.

Today, the majority of the industrialized and globalized food system is concentrated in the hands of a few companies. Five agrochemical companies hold a 55% monopoly over the $61.5 USD billion world seed market. In 2018, 61% of global seeds and pesticide production was owned by three mega-corporations. Four corporations hold a monopoly over global commodity food trade, and approximately 80% of the US beef market is controlled by only four firms. In 2018, seven firms dominated poultry, pigs, cattle, and aquaculture genetics, and made over $80 billion in sales.

But these very corporations are behind the push for synthetic and lab-made foods, with meat industry giants like Tyson foods, JBS, Cargill, Nestlé, and Maple Leaf Foods have invested up to $2.78 billion, in this new sector. Synthetic and lab-cultured foods are quickly becoming a next means to consolidate even more power and profit into the hands of a few food giants without holding them accountable to the consequences of the system they perpetuate.

The dominant corporate-sponsored narratives are now pushing for the reduction of complex ecological collapse, and climate change, into dualistic narratives around plant versus animal, instead of addressing the larger crisis of how current industrial practices are destroying the Earth’s ecosystems.

Acting as if the world were a machine undermines and ultimately destroys life processes and organic systems. In the European Union, for example, total numbers of all types of farmers fell from 14.4 million to 9.1 million between 2005 to 2020. Meaning that over 5 million small and medium-sized companies have had to shut down. Meanwhile, global biodiversity has decreased by an average of 69% since 1970.

The colonizing mentality sees nature as dead matter to be exploited and used. Colonizers do not see self-organisation. They do not see creativity. They just see control and profits while bringing disease and ill health, destroying the land, the soil, and the water.

False solutions, such as synthetic foods, involve a further separation from nature. But the separation between us and nature is the root of the problem.

We are now at a watershed between perpetuating the mechanistic model or choosing to live in harmony with nature and its regenerative and creative capacities. We need to bring life back into the soil. In the micro-organisms of the soil we find the life we cannot see, which is the basis of our health and the solution to the climate problem.

The real solution to the ecological and climate crisis does not lie in creating substitutes for food or expanding the industrial paradigm, but in scaling the initiatives all over the world that are already working on healing our connection with the Earth through care.

These solutions already exist and are being implemented by local, diverse food communities around the world. Showing us that it is possible to walk a path of living in harmony with nature. We are part of the Earth’s systems, our food is a continuum of health from the ecosystems of the earth. We are deeply and inherently interconnected.

Agroecological systems can improve soil health, reduce erosion and increase resilience against the impacts of climate change through biodiversity conservation.

Agroecology and organic farming also reduce the need for external inputs through integration of agroecosystem, increase crop diversification and soil management. By increasing carbon sequestration, organic agriculture has a lower climate impact than industrial agriculture. Regenerative agroecology, if systemised, has the regenerative potential to reverse the course and serve as an important tool for climate change mitigation.

There are two ways of seeing ourselves and our relationship with the Earth. Either we think of ourselves as separate from Nature or as one with it. It only takes putting a seed in the ground to create this vision. And every additional community that lives ecologically, lives a better life. It is a very exciting time to be alive to regenerate life.

5G Frequencies Mimic COVID: The Evidence

5G Frequencies Mimic COVID: The Evidence

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
July 4, 2023

 

They say hindsight is 20/20.

So what happened in 2020?

The rush to deploy the 5G Network around the world coincided with the global COVID pandemic of 2020. That happened.

Only two years earlier, officials at the World Health Organization called COVID a global threat. But behind the scenes, the media quietly announced that 5G was coming, whether people wanted it or not.

Why is the connection between 5G and COVID important?

It’s time to play detective and retrace the narrative back to the evidence.

Let The Games Begin!

The effort to convince people that they needed a new microwave technology called 5G “for faster downloads,” began below the radar when the 5G network was tested during the 2018 South Korean Winter Olympics.  Then, the narrative sounded like this:

Let the 5G games begin!  5G will affect everything from self-driving cars and the so-called Internet of Things.

Then, in 2019, the first COVID case was declared. By then, the 5G networks had already been activated and back-page news around the world.

EMF exposure limits set up in 1996 by the FAA and others are based on invalid assumptions. Over 25,000 articles over 30 years provide evidence that shows they are not protective of human health and wildlife.  One such 2015 Polish study in the Journal Przegl Lek recognizes EMF-induced biological effects in humans.:

Electromagnetic fields can be dangerous not only because of the risk of cancer, but also other health problems, including electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). 

EHS is a syndrome with a broad spectrum of non-specific multiple organ symptoms including both acute and chronic inflammatory processes located mainly in the skin and nervous systems, as well as in respiratory, cardiovascular systems, and musculoskeletal system. WHO does not consider the EHS as a disease.

It is neglectful that the WHO does not consider EMF-related health effects as a legitimate syndrome or disease. This delinquency becomes a challenge to the medical profession which must base a diagnosis on guesswork.

Ironically, the WHO does recognize EMF-induced symptoms as dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations), as well as neurasthenic and digestive symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digestive disturbances). Meanwhile, the European Union recognizes the diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses going back to 2015.

Before experimental vaccines were authorized for COVID-19, a set of symptoms had been described as COVID by the CDC that mimics EMF exposure. The 2021 Journal Radiat Res published, “Commonalities Between COVID-19 and Radiation Injury

Inflammation is a key common player in COVID-19 and ARS, and drives the multi-system damage that dramatically alters biological homeostasis. Both conditions initiate a cytokine storm, with similar pro-inflammatory molecules increased and other anti-inflammatory molecules decreased.

EMF symptoms:
  • fever
  • cough
  • chills
  • loss of taste and smell
  • reddening in the extremities (e.g., “COVID toes,” suggestive of microvessel damage)
  • include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
  • Pneumonitis and subsequent drop in blood oxygen levels, which often progresses to pulmonary fibrosis
  • multi-organ hypercoagulation,
  • hypoxia
  • cardiovascular damage
  • increase in local neutrophils, cytokines and other immune factors
“COVID” symptoms:
  • Fever or chills
  • Phlem-less Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Pneumonitis and subsequent drop in blood oxygen levels
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • increase in local neutrophils, cytokines and other immune factors

Serious Adverse Events post Cov-Vax describe the above and more:

A Live Exercise

In 2020, during a Coronavirus Task Force briefing, Secretary Mike Pompeo disclosed the fact that the pandemic “is a live exercise.”



Do the EMF-induced symptoms mimic COVID-19? Does the added mRNA EUA technologies increase adverse events?

Any investigative mind would first attempt to rule that out a connection between 5G and COVID-19.

So, the first order of business would be to find the alleged causal viral agent for COVID 19.

One small problem.

Officially, the 2019 virus called Coronavirus-19 has never been isolated. in its original state. See page 41 of the 2023 CDC document where the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) reports the suspect virus is “not available.”

Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen.

What is it?

Did the Corona virus mutate or disappear before it could be identified?

Did it ever exist in the first place?

Is Coronavirus a case of semantics, and not of disease?

If you look up the term, Coronavirus, it is defined as a family of cold and flu viruses. Hence, it is not one virus; Corona virus:

Coronaviruses constitute the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, in the family Coronaviridae, 

Further, according to a 2020 published medical journal article in the CDC’s  Journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, the Coronavirus was amplified and generated in a lab which became the known “isolates.” See under Whole Genome Sequencing:

“designed 37 pairs of nested PCRs spanning the genome on the basis of the coronavirus reference sequence (GenBank accession no. NC045512).”

That reads a lot like a patent.

The present invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. The coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject. 

In fact, there are a lot of COVID 19 patents when you look for them. In 2022, there were 3741 COVID-19-related patents.

In 2020, Dr. Tom Cowan called COVID a scientific fraud. He highlighted the 2020 study that showed the Coronavirus is not infectious in humans:

“Therefore, we examined the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to infect and replicate in several common primate and human cell lines, including human adenocarcinoma cells (A549), human liver cells (HUH 7.0), and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293T).

In addition to Vero E6 and Vero CCL81 cells. … Each cell line was inoculated at high multiplicity of infection and examined 24h post-infection. No CPE was observed in any of the cell lines except in Vero cells, which grew to greater than 10 to the 7th power at 24 h post-infection. In contrast, HUH 7.0 and 293T showed only modest viral replication, and A549 cells were incompatible with SARS CoV-2 infection.”

If no wild Coronavirus was ever officially isolated, and if Coronavirus is not harmful to humans, then what could be causing similar symptoms in millions of people all over the world?

It turns out that 5G millimeter waves can and do promote symptoms described as Covid.
Controlling The Narrative

This chronological overview of the publications published during the initial critical phase of discussions around 5G and health leads to the interesting observation that publications by authors with links to anti-5G campaigning organizations dominated the early phase in which adverse effects related to 5G were discussed..Such patterns of efforts to control the narrative during critical periods. – The population health effects from 5G: Controlling the narrative, Frontiers, 2022 

“5G Technology induces Coroavirus in skin cells.”  That was the conclusion of a study published in an Editorial from the July 2020 Journal Biol Regul Homeost Agents by Fioranelli et al, that was subsequently retracted:

In this research, we show that 5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas, transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing Coronaviruses in biological cells. DNA is built from charged electrons and atoms and has an inductor-like structure. This structure could be divided into linear, toroid and round inductors. Inductors interact with external electromagnetic waves, move and produce some extra waves within the cells.

The shapes of these waves are similar to shapes of hexagonal and pentagonal bases of their DNA source. These waves produce some holes in liquids within the nucleus. To fill these holes, some extra hexagonal and pentagonal bases are produced. These bases could join to each other and form virus-like structures such as Coronavirus. To produce these viruses within a cell, it is necessary that the wavelength of external waves be shorter than the size of the cell. Thus 5G millimeter waves could be good candidates for applying in constructing virus-like structures such as Coronaviruses (COVID-19) within cells.

We know the importance of skin cells by their absorptive and alchemical abilities to convert sunlight (the frequency of the sun), into Vitamin D3. [See my article on Vitamin D here]. Yet, even knowing the delicate relationship between light frequencies and human skin, harmful technologies march forward, undaunted.

What happens when scientists take it below the surface, under the skin?

The Internet of Things

is moving ahead of itself, without attention to detail, safety, or security features.

From dental sensors that collect your data, to medication sensors to track compliance with prescriptions, to kitty litter that tracks your cat’s bowel movements, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is moving inside. And its all hackable.

Elon Musk’s first brain implant prototype of Neuralink has been featured in the media.  Since then, the FDA has approved chip implants in human brains even though a prior attempt was rejected. Neuralink is also under investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Inspector General for potential animal-welfare violations.

Meanwhile, medical studies on the health effects of computer-human interface have been retracted or withdrawn: WITHDRAWN: Brain computer interface technology: Usability and applications in psychiatry.

Before putting the cart before the horse, humans must understand 5G frequencies.

The Studies

There is a wide range of evidence to interpret the newly emerging microwave exposures as an invisible stressor.

Microwaves are absorbed by living tissue. The frequencies used for cell phone technologies have a half-life penetration depth of several centimeters, whereby cell membranes constitute no obstacle.   – Klaus Buchner and Horst Eger, German Study, Electromagnetic Fields, 2011

The 5G rollout preceded the vaccine rollout by several months, not only in the U.S., but in other parts of the world as well. For more information see my 2020 article, Induction of COVID Symptoms via 5G Frequencies.

Fortunately, the question of association between EMFs and COVID-related symptoms can be answered by a long list of medical journal studies:

1. Radiation from wireless technology affects the blood, the heart, and the autonomic nervous system, 2013

An increasingly common response includes clumping (rouleau formation) of the red blood cells, heart palpitations, pain or pressure in the chest accompanied by anxiety, and an upregulation of the sympathetic nervous system coincident with a downregulation of the parasympathetic nervous system typical of the “fight-or-flight” response.

2. COVID-19 Attributed Cases and Deaths are Statistically Higher in States and Counties with 5th Generation Millimeter Wave Wireless Telecommunications in the United States, 2021

This assessment clearly shows exposure to 5G mmW technology is statistically significantly associated with higher COVID-19 case and death rates in the U.S.A. The mechanism–should this be a causal relationship–may relate to changes in blood chemistry, oxidative stress, an impaired immune response, an altered cardiovascular and/or neurological response.

3. Influence of electromagnetic fields on the circadian rhythm: Implications for human health and disease, 2023

Research suggests that the circadian rhythm, which controls several physiological functions in the human body, can be influenced by light but also by the earth’s EMFs. … Severe disruption of the circadian rhythm increases inflammation which can induce fatigue, fever and flu-like symptoms in a fraction of the population and worsen existing symptoms in old and diseased individuals, leading to periodic spikes of infectious and chronic diseases.3. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8580522/

4. Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G, 2021

We present evidence that WCR may: (1) cause morphologic changes in erythrocytes including echinocyte and rouleaux formation that can contribute to hypercoagulation; (2) impair microcirculation and reduce erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplify immune system dysfunction, including immunosuppression, autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation; (4) increase cellular oxidative stress and the production of free radicals resulting in vascular injury and organ damage; (5) increase intracellular Ca2+ essential for viral entry, replication, and release, in addition to promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; and (6) worsen heart arrhythmias and cardiac disorders.

5. The influence of millimeter waves on the physical properties of large and giant unilamellar vesicles, 2013

…a decrease in the water membrane permeability of the irradiated samples was observed. We advance the hypothesis that both the above effects may be explained in terms of a change of the polarization states of water induced by the radiation, which causes a partial dehydration of the membrane and consequently a greater packing density (increased membrane rigidity).

6. The carcinogenic potential of non-ionizing radiations: The cases of S-50 Hz MF and 1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation, 2019

A second project of two large life-span carcinogenic bioassays was conducted on over 3000 Sprague Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to 1.8 GHz GSM of mobile phone radio base station, alone or combined with acute exposure to gamma radiation. Early results from the experiment on 1.8 GHz GSM alone show a statistically significant increase in the incidence of heart malignant schwannoma among males exposed at the highest dose.

7. Oxidative mechanisms of biological activity of low-intensity radiofrequency radiation , 2015

A wide pathogenic potential of the induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their involvement in cell signaling pathways explains a range of biological/health effects of low-intensity radiorequency radiaiton (RFR), which include both cancer and non-cancer pathologies. In conclusion, our analysis demonstrates that low-intensity RFR is an expressive oxidative agent for living cells with a high pathogenic potential and that the oxidative stress induced by RFR exposure should be recognized as one of the primary mechanisms of the biological activity of this kind of radiation.

8. Changes of Clinically Important Neurotransmitters under the Influence of Modulated RF Fields—A Long-term
Study under Real-life Conditions, 2011

Wireless devices used at home such as DECT, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth amplify the effect of the GSM radiation. In the case of adrenaline and noradrenaline, almost exclusively children and chronically ill subjects (here mostly subjects with allergies) are affected. 

Especially in children below age ten, it is not thought possible to maintain a chronic state of anxiety for one and a half years due to an abstract term such as cell tower radiation.  

The clinical relevance of changed PEA levels is well documented for mental illnesses. Endogenous depression is associated with lowered PEA levels, whereby the transition from depression to maniac episodes is accompanied by an increase in PEA levels

After having exhausted the biological feedback mechanisms, major health problems are to be expected. The possible long-term consequences of remaining caught in the exhaustion stage have already been described by Hecht and Selye

9. Mechanism for action of electromagnetic fields on cells, 2002

pulsed electromagnetic fields can be more active biologically than continuous ones. According to the present theory, the low frequency fields are the most bioactive ones. The basic mechanism is the forced-vibration of all the free ions on the surface of a cell’s plasma membrane, caused by an external oscillating field. We have shown that this coherent vibration of electric charge is able to irregularly gate electrosensitive channels on the plasma membrane and thus cause disruption of the cell’s electrochemical balance and function.

The question is does the 5G Network play a role in creating a pandemic with symptoms identical to the condition dubbed as COVID 19?

According to a 2021 study, published in J Clin Transl Res, there is indeed evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G.

… we investigated a possible environmental factor in the COVID-19 pandemic: ambient radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication systems including microwaves and millimeter waves. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, surfaced in Wuhan, China shortly after the implementation of city-wide (fifth generation [5G] of wireless communications radiation [WCR]), and rapidly spread globally, initially demonstrating a statistical correlation to international communities with recently established 5G networks.

Foresight: Looking Ahead

Hindsight is always 20/20.

This means that it is easy to clearly see what should have been done or said in the past. We are looking back on what has already happened, so the reasons it happened should now be crystal clear.

In truth, 20/20 is not perfect vision. It is average or ‘normal’ vision, because is possible to have better than twenty-twenty vision with the naked eye.

We see, now, that we may have a case of a missing virus!

For people to stay ahead of any future live exercises, and where the problem is clear as mud, people must lead with foresight. How did the prophet-authors of the past, Orwell and Huxley, seem to predict a dystopian future that is now? Did they have foresight, or did they have a blueprint?

These are times for discernment. People must raise their private investigator magnifying glasses. They must stay one step ahead, before the next games begin.

Collagen and Gelatin Are Crucial for Optimal Health

Collagen and Gelatin Are Crucial for Optimal Health

by Dr. Joseph Mercola
June 23, 2023

 

Story-at-a-Glance
  • Collagen accounts for about 30% of the total protein content in the human body and needs to be replaced. Red meat will not provide enough amino acids to allow you to build strong connective tissue
  • Collagen provides structural scaffolding for your various tissues to allow them to stretch while still maintaining tissue integrity, and is crucial for repairing soft tissue, muscle and connective tissue. Gelatin is cooked collagen, which makes it more digestible and easier to absorb
  • Many degenerative and inflammatory diseases can also be ameliorated by eating more gelatin-rich foods. Red meat, on the other hand, contains far higher levels of the antimetabolic amino acids cysteine and tryptophan, which you want less of if you struggle with degenerative and/or inflammatory conditions
  • Life extension studies have shown that restricting only tryptophan, or only cysteine, produces a greater life span extension than caloric restriction
  • Collagen is rich in glycine, which can be helpful for all sorts of bleeding problems, including nosebleeds, excessive menstrual bleeding, bleeding ulcers, hemorrhoids and even stroke

Collagen accounts for about 30% of the total protein in your body. One of its primary purposes is to provide structural support and strength to your tissues, such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage1,2,3 by allowing them to stretch while still maintaining tissue integrity.

As such, collagen is crucial for repairing soft tissue, muscle and connective tissue. Connective tissues include tendons, ligaments, cartilage and fascia, which tend to get weaker and less elastic with age. Connective tissue injuries are also problematic since there’s very little blood supply in connective tissue, which slows down recovery.

Nearly one-third of the amino acids in collagen is glycine. It is also high in proline, hydroxyproline and alanine, which are the building blocks for the matrix of connective tissue. Your body uses the amino acids in collagen to rehab stressed areas and places in your body where it’s needed the most. Other lesser-known health benefits of collagen supplementation include:

  • Deeper sleep due to its glycine content4
  • Reduced joint pain and stiffness,5  including osteoarthritis pain6
  • Improved gut health and digestion, thanks to the presence of glycine7
  • Improved blood pressure and reduced cardiovascular damage8
  • Improved glucose tolerance9
  • Reduced inflammation and oxidative damage, as glycine inhibits the consumption of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). NADPH is used as a reductive reservoir of electrons to recharge antioxidants once they become oxidized
Important Differences Between Collagen and Red Meat

The chart below details the amino acid ratios of gelatin and collagen versus red meat (beef). As you can see, gelatin/collagen contain vastly more of the important amino acids to rebuild your connective tissue than beef. Since one-third of your body’s protein is collagen, it makes no sense to eat only muscle meat, as it will not provide enough amino acids to allow you to build strong connective tissue.

Importantly, collagen contains higher amounts of specific amino acids with anti-inflammatory and other healing properties, while red meat is higher in amino acids that induce inflammation. I’ll discuss these differences further below.

I believe it is still important to eat animal protein that is higher in branched chain amino acids to stimulate mTOR and muscle protein synthesis, but it is wise not to use this exclusively as the amino acids in red are relatively high in animal protein and have been shown to negatively correlate with longevity.

Interestingly, collagen and gelatin are extraordinarily low in these amino acids. This is why I personally shoot to have about one-third of my protein as collagen or gelatin. I have cut down my egg and meat intake by 50% and replaced the protein with gelatin and collagen. One of the reasons I did this was based on the late Ray Peat’s take on the importance of balancing these important amino acids.

Our ancestors never had access to gelatin or collagen products as food sources like we have today, so they typically obtained their collagen from eating the whole animal, including the connective tissue. Since most of us are not doing that today, it would seem important to integrate some collagen and gelatin into our diets.

Collagen Is Important for Degenerative Diseases

According to Peat, who was a biologist10 with a specialization in physiology,11 collagen — especially the cooked form, which is gelatin — also helps protect your cells against stress. He points out that amino acids in their free state have many hormone-like functions.

For example, during stress, cysteine and tryptophan are released in large quantities, and these amino acids have antimetabolic effects. Other amino acids act as nerve-modifiers, triggering excitation or inhibition, while others, especially glycine, have cell-protective, anti-stress effects.

As such, many degenerative and inflammatory diseases can be ameliorated by eating more gelatin-rich foods. Red meat, on the other hand, contains far higher levels of the antimetabolic amino acids cysteine and tryptophan, which you want less of if you struggle with degenerative and/or inflammatory conditions.

We’ve Followed a Flawed Paradigm

Peat stressed that the conventional “lock and key” paradigm of endocrinology, which teaches that hormones signal cells that have suitable receptors for it, is flawed. Instead, his research brought him to the understanding that cellular responses were in fact dependent on the state of the cells, and that state is modified by nutrients, metabolites, hormones and neurotransmitters in its surroundings.

By fixating on a flawed paradigm, we’ve ended up with what Peat referred to as “monstrous distortion of the official dietary recommendations.” For example, most studies trying to determine the nutritional requirements for protein were done for the agricultural industry and were designed to identify the cheapest way to achieve maximum growth in the shortest time possible.

But maximizing growth doesn’t mean you’re also maximizing health and longevity. Quite the contrary. Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) like linoleic acid (LA), for example, produce rapid weight gain in young animals, which translates into rapid profits. But if we’re looking for optimal human health, that’s not what we want. And, indeed, there’s overwhelming evidence showing excessive PUFA consumption is wrecking human health.

Similarly, amino acids in proteins were defined as “essential” based on their contribution of growth in animals, again ignoring factors such as longevity, brain development and optimal health.

According to Peat, what little research has been done in this area suggests the human requirement for tryptophan and cysteine is very low in adulthood. So, the high intake of red meat and virtually no consumption of connective tissues rich in collagen and gelatin is not doing your health any favors.

Collagen for Life Extension and Disease Prevention

According to Peat, life extension studies have shown that “Restricting only tryptophan, or only cysteine, produces a greater extension of the life span than achieved in most of the studies of caloric restriction,” which is rather remarkable. In his archived article “Gelatin, Stress, Longevity,” Peat explained:12

“Both tryptophan and cysteine inhibit thyroid function and mitochondrial energy production, and have other effects that decrease the ability to withstand stress. Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin, which causes inflammation, immunodepression, and generally the same changes seen in aging.

Histidine is another amino acid precursor to a mediator of inflammation, histaminewould the restriction of histidine in the diet have a longevity promoting effect, too?

It happens that gelatin is a protein which contains no tryptophan, and only small amounts of cysteine, methionine, and histidine. Using gelatin as a major dietary protein is an easy way to restrict the amino acids that are associated with many of the problems of aging …

When cells are stressed, they form extra collagen, but they can also dissolve it, to allow for tissue remodeling and growth … When collagen is broken down, it releases factors that promote wound healing and suppress tumor invasiveness. Glycine itself is one of the factors promoting wound healing and tumor inhibition.

It has a wide range of antitumor actions, including the inhibition of new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and it has shown protective activity in liver cancer and melanoma …

When we eat animal proteins in the traditional ways (for example, eating fish head soup, as well as the muscles, or ‘head-cheese’ as well as pork chops, and chicken-foot soup as well as drumsticks), we assimilate a large amount of glycine and gelatin. This whole-animal balance of amino acids supports all sorts of biological process[es], including a balanced growth of children’s tissues and organs.

When only the muscle meats are eaten, the amino acid balance entering our blood stream is the same as that produced by extreme stress, when cortisol excess causes our muscles to be broken down to provide energy and material for repair.

The formation of serotonin is increased by the excess tryptophan in muscle, and serotonin stimulates the formation of more cortisol, while the tryptophan itself, along with the excess muscle-derived cysteine, suppresses the thyroid function …

The range of injuries produced by an excess of tryptophan and serotonin seems to be prevented or corrected by a generous supply of glycine. Fibrosis, free radical damage, inflammation, cell death from ATP depletion or calcium overload, mitochondrial damage, diabetes, etc., can be prevented or alleviated by glycine.

Some types of cell damage are prevented almost as well by alanine and proline as by glycine, so the use of gelatin, rather than glycine, is preferable … Gelatin has been used successfully to treat diabetes for over 100 years. Glycine inhibits lipolysis … and this in itself will make insulin more effective, and help to prevent hyperglycemia. (A gelatin-rich diet can also lower the serum triglycerides.)

Since persistent lipolysis and insulin resistance, along with a generalized inflammatory state, are involved in a great variety of diseases, especially in the degenerative diseases, it’s reasonable to consider using glycine/gelatin for almost any chronic problem.”

Glycine for Bleeding, Stroke, Muscle Spasms and Pain

In his article, Peat reviewed several conditions that can be successfully treated with glycine. For example, all sorts of bleeding problems, including nosebleeds, excessive menstrual bleeding, bleeding ulcers, hemorrhoids and even stroke may benefit from a gelatin-rich, and hence glycine-rich diet.

According to Peat, glycine, taken shortly after a stroke, limits the damage and accelerates recovery. Glycine may also be protective in epilepsy, by stabilizing nerves and raising the amount of stimulation required to activate nerves. Glycine also has antispastic effects that can help alleviate muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis. He also shared the effects of his personal experimentation with gelatin:13

“For years I hadn’t slept through a whole night without waking … The first time I had several grams of gelatin just before bedtime, I slept without interruption for about 9 hours.

I mentioned this effect to some friends, and later they told me that friends and relatives of theirs had recovered from long-standing pain problems (arthritic and rheumatic and possibly neurological) in just a few days after taking 10 or 15 grams of gelatin each day.

For a long time, gelatin’s therapeutic effect in arthritis was assumed to result from its use in repairing the cartilage or other connective tissues around joints, simply because those tissues contain so much collagen …

Some of the consumed gelatin does get incorporated into the joint cartilage, but that is a slow process, and the relief of pain and inflammation is likely to be almost immediate, resembling the anti-inflammatory effect of cortisol or aspirin.

Inflammation produces fibrosis, because stress, hypoxia, and inadequate supply of glucose stimulate the fibroblasts to produce increased amounts of collagen. In lungs, kidneys, liver, and other tissues, glycine protects against fibrosis, the opposite of what the traditional view would suggest.

Since excess tryptophan is known to produce muscle pain, myositis, even muscular dystrophy, gelatin is an appropriate food for helping to correct those problems, simply because of its lack of tryptophan. (Again, the popular nutritional idea of amino acids as simply building blocks for tissues is exactly wrong — muscle protein can exacerbate muscle disease.)”

According to Peat, any condition involving excess prolactin, serotonin and/or cortisol, including autism, postpartum and premenstrual problems, Cushing’s disease, diabetes, and impotence “should” benefit from a diet low in tryptophan.

“In some of the older studies, therapeutic results improved when the daily gelatin was increased,” he noted. “Since 30 grams of glycine was commonly used for treating muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis, a daily intake of 100 grams of gelatin wouldn’t seem unreasonable, and some people find that quantities in that range help to decrease fatigue …

For adults, a large part of that could be in the form of gelatin. If a person eats a large serving of meat, it’s probably helpful to have 5 or 10 grams of gelatin at approximately the same time, so that the amino acids enter the blood stream in balance.”

What Is the Difference Between Gelatin and Collagen?

While collagen and gelatin have the same basic amino acid composition, their properties differ due to differing manufacturing processes. Put simply, gelatin is basically cooked collagen,14 which makes it more digestible and easier to absorb. This is particularly important if you have compromised digestion.

Collagen is made from animal bones, skins, tendons and other connective tissues. The collagen is extracted through an acid or alkali treatment followed by purification and does not involve heat. Since the molecular structure is larger, collagen does not dissolve in water.

When collagen is heated, the molecular bonds break down, giving you gelatin hydrolysate or hydrolyzed gelatin (other terms to describe gelatin include collagen hydrolysate or collagen peptides). Since the peptide chains are shorter, gelatin can be dissolved in water, where it forms a thick gel.

In terms of health benefits, these differences are likely minimal, because when collagen is ingested, it gets broken down in your gastrointestinal tract into shorter peptides that are the same as gelatin. Since only free amino acids can enter your bloodstream, collagen and gelatin have essentially identical systemic effects, as their basic composition is the same. That said, gelatin may be preferable if you have ulcers or other GI problems.

Types of Collagen

While 28 different types of collagen have been scientifically identified, most supplements will contain one or more of just three of these,15,16,17 as they comprise 90% of the collagen in your body.18

  • Type 1 — collagen found in skin/hide, tendon, scales and bones of cows, pigs, chicken and fish
  • Type 2 — formed in cartilage and typically derived from poultry
  • Type 3 — fibrous protein found in bone, tendon, cartilage and connective tissues of cows, pigs, chicken and fish
Choose Your Collagen Source Wisely

Historically, traditional diets provided ample collagen in the form of broth made from boiled chicken feet or beef bones. These are by far your best alternatives. If you decide to use a collagen or gelatin supplement, here are some general considerations to take into account when shopping around:

Is it organic and/or grass fed certified? — Laboratory testing has revealed many popular collagen and bone broth products contain potentially hazardous contaminants typically associated with concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), such as heavy metals,19,20 chemicals like butylparaben, and various veterinary drugs,21,22 including antibiotics.

To avoid contaminants, make sure your collagen supplement is certified “100% Organic” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)23 or, better yet, certified grass fed by the American Grassfed Association (AGA), which has the most rigorous standards. This also applies to gelatin, although it can be a bit more difficult to find, and if you do, it can run about $50.

It appears that collagen and gelatin provide virtually identical protein profiles and biological benefits. Collagen has the benefit of being available in affordable organic choices. Gelatin can be used to improve the texture and satiety of foods. So, they both can improve your health; you just need to choose the one that works best for you.

What raw materials is it made from? — Nonorganic collagen is almost universally made from hydrolyzed cattle hides, not beef bones. When made from cattle hide, even organic certification becomes questionable, because hides, organic or not, are still scraps from the leather tannery industry and have undergone intense processing with harsh chemicals.

Raw, newly skinned hides arrive to the tannery on large pallets, where they can remain to rot for weeks before being processed. Even though they’re salted, they’re not entirely preserved and the stench is overwhelming. The tannery process itself typically involves an acid bath and processing with harsh chemicals such as sulfuric acid or chromium salts.

Hides with scars and imperfections are discarded once they’ve gone through this processing, and these castoffs are what are used to make bovine hide-based collagen supplements.

The already processed scraps then undergo additional processing to dissolve the hide and release the collagen peptides. So, while the raw hide may have come from an organically-raised, grass fed cow, after all that chemical processing, just how organic is the final product?

While my personal preference used to be grass fed organic collagen made from beef bones (not hide), I’m now leaning more toward powdered gelatin, as it’s more easily digested.

That said, I still believe the natural approach is best. Making homemade bone broth using bones and connective tissue from grass fed, organically raised animals isn’t very complicated and will produce the best results. If you prefer chicken broth, consider using organic chicken feet. The claws are particularly rich in collagen.24

And, to reiterate, eating muscle meat will not provide you with the important amino acids that are necessary for building collagen. Considering about one-third of the proteins in your body are collagen, it makes sense to ensure you’re getting enough collagen/gelatin.

Beware: Jell-O Contains No Gelatin

In closing, do NOT make the mistake of using Jell-O brand25 “gelatin” snacks. Remarkable as it may seem, the ready-to-eat Jell-O cups contain no gelatin whatsoever. Instead, they’re using carrageenan, which can induce inflammation and contribute to a wide variety of chronic diseases.26 It can also cause digestive side effects.27

Jell-O powder28 does contain gelatin, but sugar is the No. 1 ingredient, plus it contains food coloring and preservatives with questionable safety. What you want is a pure gelatin powder without sugar and other additives.

Is Leukemia a Disease?

Is Leukemia a Disease?

by Darko Velcek, Heal Yourself
June 16, 2023

 

According to the science we learn in our indoctrination center called the educational system, leukemia or blood cancer is a disease in which an overproduction of white blood cells is created. Many of those cells are damaged or not developed enough, and this is caused by the damaged bone marrow which produces them.

We are educated/indoctrinated to believe that white blood cells are our immune system, created to protect us from the pathogen that has attacked our body. So, when the pathogen occurs, the white blood cell blood count increases. As the pathogen gets gobbled up by the white blood cells/macrophage, (the process science has named autophagy), the threat no longer exists, and the number of white blood cells reduces to the ”normal” levels.

When the blood count of white blood cells is high and no pathogen is detected, and the situation persists without the white blood cell count dropping to the normal level, this is when the body is declared by our experts to be diseased with leukemia.

Is this what really happens?

We are “educated” to recognize leukemia through the symptoms that accompany it. Those symptoms are; fever or chills, persistent fatigue, frequent infections, losing weight, swollen lymph nodes, easy bleeding or bruising, tiny red spots in the skin, excessive sweating, and bone pain and tenderness.

In which way an increased white blood cell count causes such symptoms? This makes no sense.

When we look at those symptoms, everyone who is familiar with my work immediately comes to the conclusion that those are symptoms of toxic blood and a toxic body in general.

Since white blood cells are not what we are told, a defense mechanism created to attack the intruder/pathogen, instead, they are a garbage disposal system, as the level of the garbage increases in the blood, the body increases the production of white blood cells to dispose of this garbage.

This means that the body is functioning correctly in the given circumstance. Since doctors cannot identify any pathogen and the blood level of white blood cells remains high, they blame the bone, thymus, and lymph nodes for overproducing white blood cells for no apparent reason, and through the implementation of toxic chemicals, they attack those organs to suppress white blood cell production.

Through their action, doctors increase the blood´s toxicity which stimulates the body to further increase the white blood cell count, and the battle with the “disease” becomes eventually lost because the overly toxic patient dies.

Doctors proudly declare that they have extended the patient’s life/suffering for as long as they could and without their intervention, the patient would have died sooner.

Well, it is obvious that doctors are incompetent and they are the reason why their patient has died.

What is the cause of increased white blood cell count and why it remains high?

The symptoms reveal that the blood is toxic. Since the white blood cell count has increased, this means that the body senses a toxin that can be eliminated by disposing of it through white blood cells (most likely an organic compound).

The bone marrow thymus and lymph nodes start to produce white blood cells, but they cannot recognize the “garbage” because it is not labeled. Since the toxic level is not dropping, the body continues producing white blood cells and at the same time, some of them are expiring and undergo autophagy and appear damaged or undeveloped.

The reason why the poison is not labeled is the lack of GcMAF because of the incorrect genetic expression caused by eating starches/glucose. The cells are forced to produce nagalase to be able to hydrolyze glucose and use it as fuel. This prevents them to produce GcMAF since the same pair of genes is responsible for the signaling to the cell what the cell should manufacture in this given environment.

This is another example of how eating starches contributes to a diseased state of our body.

Since those people that follow the SHP are forbidden to consume starches, their cells start to produce GcMAF marker, the toxins become marked and eliminated through macrophage, and as the blood toxic level drops, the production of the white blood cells stops and leukemia miraculously disappears.

I have noticed that green tea has toxins that stimulate white cell production, and preservatives of meat in canned food and sausages do the same. This is why we see leukemia often in people that consume large quantities of green tea and children that eat colorful cereals, frankfurters or ham, or other types of salami.

Also, cats fed with can foods and dry food loaded with carbohydrates will develop leukemia.

They all heal when their food is corrected.

It was brought to my attention that by July people will be able to start scheduling their med bed appointments. They will be free so if someone wants to sell you an appointment, this is a fraudster, do not fall for it.

Love and light to us all.

What Does — and Doesn’t — Make Us Sick

What Does — and Doesn’t — Make Us Sick

by Dr. Tom Cowan, Weston A. Price Foundation
originally published May 2, 2023

 

What Makes Us Sick

What makes us sick and what doesn’t make us sick? To answer that question, our first step is to understand how we as human beings come to know something. There are two basic ways. First, we can have a sensory experience of something that tells us that this thing is real. We might study a particular tree in its habitat and see whether it produces fruit or observe what type of birds it attracts. Or we could study frogs and learn about where they live, what they eat and their interaction with the wider ecosystem.

But there are also things for which no sensory experience is possible, perhaps because they’re too small to see. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, but in this situation, we have to do something called “science”— meaning looking for and establishing the existence of things that we don’t experience directly through our senses.

When we do science—and this is impor­tant—we have to make sure, during every single step of the process, that we haven’t altered the nature of the thing we’re studying, or even brought that thing into existence through our intervention. Analytical chemists understand this; they tell me that in their line of work (which amounts to finding things they cannot experi­ence through their senses), they have to validate that their procedures—taking something out of its habitat and shining a light on it or adding chemicals—didn’t in fact actually create what they ended up with. Otherwise, they can’t know whether or not the thing actually exists. Stated another way, when researchers test cause and ef­fect by changing an independent variable to see whether it has an effect on a dependent variable, they have to make sure, every step of the way, that they are measuring just the relationship between those two variables. This is the essence of the “scientific method.” When we don’t follow the true scientific method, we can end up in a world of illusions, delusions and make-believe.

What if there is no possible way to do an experiment? In that case, you are relying on something that is more like faith, and you should acknowledge that. You should state, “This is what I believe to be true and I’m going to dedicate myself to figuring out whether I can validate that it actually is true.” In other words, the goal is to go from “I believe” to “I know.”

How Do Viruses Make You Ill
AWOL Viruses

What is the agreed-on definition of a vi­rus? A virus is described as a disease-causing microbe with a piece of either DNA or RNA in the middle surrounded by a protein coat, and is said to be self-replicating in a host. It gets into the host’s cells, makes more of itself and then causes disease by bursting open the cells.

According to the definition, the expected natural habitat of this organism is the lungs, the blood, the lymph nodes, the urine, the cere­brospinal fluid and so on. However—and there is no scientific disagreement on this important point whatsoever—there is not a single study in the published medical literature for the past one hundred years that reports finding such a particle in any biological fluid of any plant, ani­mal or human being. This is true whether you’re talking about the fluid from someone’s “herpes” lesion, or the lungs of someone with “Covid-19,” or the snot from a person with “measles,” or the blood of someone with “Ebola” or the lymph nodes of a person with “AIDS.” There is not one published study in the scientific/medical literature showing that someone found such a particle in any one of those bodily fluids—and nobody disagrees with that! This should make you suspicious. As Mark Twain once stated, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

WC Fields said, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit,” and I think he was talking about virology. Con­sider this: we now have over two hundred ten responses from various health departments around the world to the question, “Do you have any published study that shows that you directly isolated SARS-CoV-2 from any human being on the planet?”1 (SARS-CoV-2 is the alleged virus, and Covid-19 is the disease alleged to be caused by the virus.) They all say the same thing: “We have no record of SARS-CoV-2 having been purified.” They’ve never found it, nor have they found any of the other pathogenic viruses. (We also have around forty or fifty similar responses pertaining to Ebola, Zika, HIV, measles and the like.)

Colleagues of mine have asked the authors of four of the most important papers written about SARS-CoV-2, some of which bafflingly have the word “isolation” in the title, “Did you isolate this virus in your study?” Their answer was not only “No” but also, “We didn’t even try to find it in any biological fluid of any person who was sick.” In the early days of virology, sci­entists did look, but they were never able to find such a particle using the very tool—the electron microscope—that should have allowed them to find it. After twenty years, they abandoned ship and said, “There’s nothing to this theory.” But then later, it got resurrected.

What Are You Sick With
A Belief System

Note that virology has methods and tech­niques to truly isolate a virus.2 Using ultracen­trifugation and something called a “sucrose density gradient,” virologists can separate a fluid sample into bands by molecular weight. Ultra­centrifugation will spin viruses out into their own band, which virologists can then extract with a pipette and check for purity.

But they don’t use these techniques! In­stead, I’ll give an example of what a virologist says if you ask, “Why do you think this virus exists? If you can’t find it, why do you think it’s in the lungs?” A virologist told me that someone would have to be “incredibly ill and shedding extremely large amounts of virus, and the fluid from their lungs would have to have a large amount of virus—and even then, it wouldn’t be possible.” In other words, “There’s not enough virus to find.”

Think about this. Your lungs are said to be the perfect culture medium—at the ideal tem­perature (thirty-seven degrees Celsius) for vi­ruses to reproduce—and the lung environment is, therefore, supposedly teeming with viruses. After they reproduce, viruses reportedly kill millions and billions of cells, and that, we are told, is how they cause disease. Supposedly, there are twenty million copies of a virus in a single sneeze. But the virologist’s answer is, “There’s not enough to see.”

Remember, a virus is described as incred­ibly tiny—something like one-thousandth of a pinhead or less—which means that when viruses explode, they are exploding perhaps one hundredth of a pinhead of your lungs. Yet you could take out even a baseball-sized piece of your lungs, and while that might be called “having a bad day,” you won’t die. The body also isn’t crazy enough to make an abnormal and excessive immune response to losing less than a pinhead size of the lungs. So, it is logical to ask, “If the virus is exploding the cells in a portion of your lungs that is the equivalent of less than a pinhead, how is it causing disease?”

There is a second reason virologists give for not using the tools at their disposal to isolate a virus. They say that the virus is an intracellular parasite organism, meaning it is only inside the cell and doesn’t go outside the cell. But if that is the case, how does it get to the next person? This starts to strain credulity. Here’s how that nutty conversation might go:

Q: “Why can’t you catch the virus when it goes from one person to another person?”

A: “Well, it’s not there for more than about six hours. We don’t have enough money to pay someone to look every six hours to find the organism in the snot.”

We asked one eminent virologist, “If you put ten thousand people together and collected all their sputum, would that be enough to find the virus?” His answer: “No, that’s not enough.”

Poisoning, Not Purification

There are something like ten thousand published papers that refer to the “isolation” of such-and-such a virus. Virologists will show you the title of these papers and say, “See, how can you say this isn’t true?” But since they aren’t using the proper steps, you have to know what they did instead. And you have to ask, did they rigorously validate every step of their process?

In 1954, a researcher named John Franklin Enders established the procedures that rejuvenated the then-languishing field of virology.3 Here are Enders’ basic steps:

  1. Virologists take snot from somebody alleged to have a certain disease (such as measles or Covid-19).
  2. Sometimes they centrifuge (not ultracentrifuge) or filter the mixture to get rid of cells, fungi and debris. That has become a sticking point because some people call this “purification.” However, purifying the snot a little is not equivalent to purifying out a virus.
  3. Next, they put the snot in a cell culture of green monkey kidney cells—cells that happen to be highly inbred and tend to break down easily.
  4. Then they mix in antibiotics—and specifically antibiotics that are kidney-toxic (gentamicin and amphotericin)—and they take away the cell culture medium’s nutrients. (This is the equivalent of being forced onto a standard American diet after thriving on a Wise Traditions diet.)
  5. Next, they mix in fetal bovine serum, a product sucked out of the heart of a newborn calf.
  6. Maintaining the cell culture at a steady temperature, they then watch what happens. In about five days, the cells break down— which is called a cytopathic effect (CPE)—and they call the CPE the “proof” that the virus exists and causes damage.

Understand that virologists consider this process—which inevitably generates cell breakdown—not “a” proof but “the” proof for the existence of all pathogenic viruses. You might reasonably ask, “How do you know the CPE is not due to starving the cells, or poisoning them with gentami­cin and amphotericin, or using fetal bovine serum, or because of some other toxin in the sick person’s snot?” Virologists’ answer is that they do a “mock infection” as a control. However, if you go to the hundreds of papers I and my colleagues have read over the past two years, you will not find even one actual mock infection. In fact, it can’t be done because the independent variable would necessarily need to be the very virus that they have not isolated. Often, the study authors don’t even provide details, and if you try to obtain more information, you invariably learn that they did not conduct a properly controlled experiment.

Interestingly, Enders’ procedures are also how pharmaceutical companies make viral vaccines.4 For example, they take someone with measles and put their unpurified snot into a monkey kidney cell culture, add fetal bovine serum, gentamicin, and amphotericin, and then when the cells break down, they call that “isolation” of the measles virus. They put that goop into a vial—and that is called a “live” virus vaccine. They can also cycle the goop over and over in huge vats, removing some of the proteins, and that is an “attenuated” viral vaccine. But at no point did they ever demonstrate there is a virus in there. With mRNA and newer technologies, they are just putting different stuff—known and unknown—in their vaccines. In short, vaccines are biotoxins, and they make people sick. How could biotoxins possibly prevent people from getting sick?

The Lanka Experiments

There is one scientist, Stefan Lanka, who contracted with an independent professional lab to try to answer the question of whether the culturing process itself, rather than a pathogenic virus, might be causing the CPE.

The lab conducted four experiments. In the first, they cultured normal cells with a normal nutrient medium, adding only a small amount of antibiotics—and no snot from a sick person. Five days later, the cell growth was perfectly normal. The second experiment was the same as the first, but with the addition of 10 percent fetal bovine serum. Again, five days later there was no cell breakdown.

The third experiment replicated Enders’ procedures, lowering the percentage of fetal bovine serum from 10 percent to 1 percent (that is, starving the cells) and tripling the amount of antibiotics. On day five, the characteristic CPE that “proves” the existence and pathogenicity of a virus was evident—except that Lanka had not added any fluid from a sick person or anything else that could have had a virus in it.

The fourth experiment repeated the third but with the addition of RNA from yeast. It so happens that monkey kidney cells don’t like yeast any more than they like kidney-toxic an­tibiotics. Unsurprisingly, the fourth experiment produced the same CPE result—clearly show­ing that the CPE is the result of the culturing technique rather than any virus.

After they “prove” the existence of a virus using their cell culturing process, virologists “find” the genome of the virus using fragments of the RNA in the broken-down cell culture to create the assembled genome of the alleged vi­rus. This is called “sequencing.” What is impor­tant to understand is that this process generates a genome that is purely theoretical (“in silico”). As I explain in my booklet Breaking the Spell:

“This genome never exists in any person, and it never exists intact even in the culture results; it exists only inside the computer, based on an alignment process that arranges these short pieces [of RNA] into an entire ‘genome.’”5

In the case of SARS-CoV-2, sequencing software generated anywhere from three hun­dred forty-two thousand to one million different possibilities of how to arrange the fragments. A small group of scientists then decided which arrangement they liked—by “consensus”—and then, for every subsequent analysis, they put that first consensus-derived genome in and told the computer to make another one along the same lines. When they turn out a sequence that is a bit different from the original consensus-derived “genome,” that’s called a “variant.”

Note that all of this applies both to so-called “natural” viruses and to so-called lab-engineered “gain-of-function” viruses—which no more exist than any “natural” virus exists. So, here you have biologists in their hazmat suits, protecting themselves against a genome from a virus that exists only in a computer.

As for the PCR test, the whole premise of the test is also nonsense. You cannot say that a PCR sequence came from a thing you have not isolated. It makes no sense to even talk about “false-positives,” because the results are just plain false.

Identical Pictures, Delusional Thoughts

At some point, people say to me, “But Tom, we’ve seen electron microscope pictures of SARS-CoV-2,” complete with “spikes” and something that looks like a “corona”! However, I have a picture from a kidney biopsy produced before the year 2000 (when there was no pos­sibility that it was SARS-CoV-2) that looks just the same. In fact, I have eleven electron micro­scope pictures—labeled as kidney biopsies, lung biopsies or SARS-CoV-2—and there is no way to tell the difference between them. They are morphologically indistinguishable—they all look the same. In fact, the CDC has known since the 1970s that electron microscopy cannot tell the difference between a kidney biopsy, lung cancer, cellular debris, SARS-CoV-2 or any so-called pathogenic virus; it simply is not possible.

The cellular debris, by the way, comes from poisoning—whether from putting yeast, antibiotics or fetal bovine serum on a culture, or from EMFs, or from not eating a Wise Tra­ditions diet. It can even be from “wonky” or delusional thinking. For example, I knew an anthroposophical doctor who spent his career giving AIDS drugs to so-called “HIV-positive” people because he believed in the delusional germ theory, and then, because of this belief, he took four Covid shots. Five days after the fourth one, he was dead. You could say he died from the shots, but I say he died because he spent his entire life believing in something that is completely make-believe.

An Even Bigger Delusion

It turns out that the delusion is even bigger than viruses—we didn’t just make up viruses, we made up diseases. Consider what happens if you get a splinter in your finger. In medical school, I was taught that pus is a sign of infec­tion, but actually, the pus is the body’s thera­peutic response to the splinter; if you suppress the pus, you will never get the splinter out. We need to stop thinking of the body’s responses as “diseases”; they are the wisdom of the body coming through.

We can look at many other conditions—and the body’s wise therapies—in the same way. For example, if you put toxic junk in your lungs, the body will cough it up because it wants to get rid of dead, dying and poisoned tissue. In Wuhan, which has some of the worst air pollution in the world, bronchitis is the therapy for breathing air. It’s not a disease.

Or consider chickenpox, which might have something to do with malnutrition or a collagen deficiency or a toxic environment—but is also a normal maturation and cleansing process. If you come along and poison a child with a chickenpox vaccine so they cannot go through that cleansing process, they will instead have a life of asthma, allergies, eczema and all these other made-up terms that really mean you stopped the process of healing. It may look like you lessened the incidence of “chickenpox,” but by interfering with the cleansing process you have increased lots of chronic things, which never go away.

There are no vaccines that are exceptions to that rule—they all poison you, and you end up worse. When you cannot go through the normal maturation and healing steps, you eventually may end up with cancer. You’re depositing one poison after another throughout your life, and now you’ve got a garbage can of poisons otherwise known as a “tumor.” What would you do if you kept being poisoned over and over, and someone prevented you from getting the poisons out? It’s very simple: you would buy a garbage can and put the poison in there. But what happens if you keep putting in garbage, and it starts piling up in your basement, garage, kitchen and bedroom until you can’t live? That’s called “metastasis,” and then you die.

What Are We Made Of?

To examine more deeply the question of what makes us sick, let’s consider what we’re made of. To start on safe ground, let’s accept that we’re made of a head, ears, eyes, mouth, chest, arms, fingers, legs, toes and a bunch of other things. Inside, we also have things like a heart, bones, blood vessels, nerves, a liver, kidneys and other things. As far as I can tell, older healing traditions like Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine also believe there is a heart and liver and spleen and all the rest of it. In fact, not only do they believe it, they put huge stock in the energy flow through those organs.

Now remember, there are two ways of knowing. In the first instance, you can observe, but if you can’t observe, you have to do science—and you have to be sure that any science you do isn’t affecting what you’re seeing. And if it is, you have to control for that.

We’re told that hepatocytes are the main functional cells of the liver, but we might ask, “How do we know that?” How many of us have actually seen hepatocytes in the liver of an intact living organism? Nobody. That may not mean they’re not there, but it means we’ve got a question that requires further experimentation. We can take someone and anesthetize them (or at least some part of them), and stick a needle in, and suck out a piece of the liver, and stain it with toxic chemicals, and shine a high-powered light on it, and then say that what we see are the hepatocytes.

But how do we know that the process of anesthetizing (that is, poison­ing) the person, removing the sample from a living organism and putting chemical stains on it didn’t create the structures we’re seeing?

For example, we know that bacteria, when stressed, will create a storage form called bacteriophages, and the same is true for other or­ganisms like fungus spores. How do we know that stressing the liver by removing it from the living organism that nourishes it didn’t create the appearance of the liver cells? I’m not necessarily saying that this proves there are no liver cells, but I’m saying you need to ask the question if you want to do real science.

My thinking on these matters owes a lot to thinkers like the British biologist Harold Hillman, who spent fifty years and thousands of pages asking these kinds of questions.6 If you really want to understand biology, read Hillman. Another influence is Gilbert Ling, a brilliant Chinese-born American scientist who challenged the accepted view of the cell.7

Let’s remember that in addition to sensory observations and science, you may get to a point where you simply can’t know something. Going back to virology, if you can’t take the virus out of the sample that you inoculate, the best you might be able to say is, “We have no actual evidence that the virus exists. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t, but we have no evidence.” How different would the world be if, in March 2020, they had announced: “We did some experiments, and we have some idea there might be a virus, but we can’t really prove it, and all the experiments have shown it’s not really there—but we think we should lock you down and make you wear a mask and starve you anyway.” Of course, they don’t say it like that. My point is that it may not be possible to prove the existence of those liver cells—or any cells.

What is also interesting is that of the ap­proximately one hundred eighty-four different tissue types, we know that forty-four don’t have any cells. Examples are the crystalline lens of the eye, and the bursae—sacs of fluid (colorfully described as “miniature water balloons”) that fa­cilitate the frictionless movement of the joints.8 The absence of cells makes sense because this organized water tissue is much stronger and more coherent than if it were broken up into little cells.

Historically, what did Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine have to say about cells? Nothing. There is no mention of cells in either of those traditions. By the way, they never mentioned contagion or germ theory either. It was the German physician Rudolf Virchow who popularized the idea that we are made of cells. In the 1850s, Virchow wrote a book about cellular physiology essentially based on his dissection of an onion; he saw that it had compartments and from there he asserted that all living things were made of cells and that “all cells come from cells.” Although many people initially thought he was nuts, somehow that became the cel­lular theory of biology and medicine, despite the theory never having been “proven” in any meaningful sense of the word.

Ribosome Fairy Tales?

For the time being, let’s assume that cells do exist in those one hundred forty or so human tis­sues. Then we can ask, what is a cell made of? In addition to a cell membrane, standard textbooks show pictures with structures called organelles that include a nucleus, an endoplasmic reticu­lum, ribosomes, mitochondria, lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus and others (see Figure 1). This definition of a cell is the basis of all medicine and biology.

Now, let’s consider the ribosomes. Cell biol­ogy tells us that ribosomes are the place where mRNA is translated into proteins, describing ribosomes as the cells’ protein-making “facto­ries” or “machinery.” Ribosomes also happen to be an important part of the Covid story— remember, the official rationale for putting mRNA in the injections was so it could instruct the ribosomes to pro­duce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.9

As an aside, if you say, “I’m going to make tires out of rubber,” it would not be unusual to be asked, “How do you know that works?” Then you could de­scribe the process, in­cluding the quantity of rubber needed to produce a set number of tires, and they could repeat the process to see whether they end up with the same num­ber of tires from the same amount of rubber. Along these lines, you would expect there to be hundreds of studies showing that if you put “X” amount of mRNA into a human being, you get “Y” amount of spike protein. But do you know how many studies there are like that? Zero. Instead, we just heard, “We had to move at the speed of science,”10 which really means “We made it up.”

There is an interesting thing going on with the ribosomes, because we’re talking about the place in a cell where the essence of you, biologi­cally, is made. We are made of proteins. The creation of you, we’re told, is in the ribosomes. The question is, is there such a thing as a ribosome, or did they make it up?

FIGURE 1. A standard (make-believe) cell diagram.

One clue that there is something fishy going on is that no one can tell you how many ribosomes a cell contains, other than a vague “millions.” However, we can do some basic arithmetic (which will be an approxima­tion because we’re mixing volume and linear measurement). We’re told that a ribosome measures about twenty-five nanometers (0.025 microm­eters)—and if we conservatively estimate that a mammalian cell has about four million ribosomes, then that would equal one hundred thousand micrometers. However, a typical mammalian cell is something like one hundred micrometers, and the cytoplasm (which contains the ribosomes) is only 70 percent of the cell, meaning that its volume is seventy micrometers. Not only that, but the mi­tochondria—which are hundreds or thou­sands of times big­ger than the putative ribosomes—are also in there. So, how does something that is one hundred thousand micrometers fit into a space that is sev­enty micrometers and also houses millions of mitochondria? Doesn’t anybody study arithmetic?

A second clue that ribosomes are imaginary comes from electron micro­scope pictures, which always show the ribosome as a perfect circle. If it is a perfect circle on a two-dimensional picture, that means it had to have been a sphere in real life. Now think about how biologists obtain these pictures: they take some tissue, put it in a blender, grind and macerate it, freeze it to minus one hundred twenty degrees centigrade, stain it with heavy metals and shoot a high-energy electron beam at it to evaporate all the water from the tissue. How does a sphere that has been ground up in a blender, frozen, poisoned and had all its water evaporated end up—every single time—as a perfect circle? It is not possible for those circles to be real cellular structures. (This is a good time to remember WC Fields’ quote about “baffling them with bullshit.”)

Fortunately, Harold Hillman had the genius to take something that could not possibly have ribosomes in it and put it through the same process (staining and so forth), and he got the exact same pictures. It turns out that those are just typical images of dead and dying tissue (remember that pictures of “viruses” also come from stained tissue that is dead and dying), and those perfect circles are gas bubbles—in which case, there are no ribosomes. And if there are no ribosomes, there is no place for the translation of RNA into protein to occur. And if that is the case, what the heck is going on, and how do we actually make the stuff that we’re made of?

More Cell Make-Believe

For another example, let’s look at the cell component called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Textbooks describe the ER as “a netlike labyrinth of branching tubules and flattened sacs”11 that serve as the cell’s “transportation system.” The millions of ribosomes in a cell are said to line the surface of the “rough” part of the ER.

Why does the ER even have to be there? Before I answer that ques­tion, let’s consider that the cytoplasm of a cell (which is the gel-like liquid inside a cell membrane but external to the nucleus) has a different pH level than the pH inside the cell nucleus—and that is a verifiable, mea­surable phenomenon. You can measure the two pH values one hundred times and they will never be the same. Why is the pH different? The reason can only be due to the cytoplasm and nucleus having different concentrations of hydrogen ions—because that is where pH comes from. And for the pH values to be different, there has to be an impenetrable barrier between the cytoplasm and nucleus, or some other mechanism that keeps the hydrogen ions from equilibrating across the two. If there were no mechanism, they would equilibrate and their pH would be the same—but it never is.

Now, we run into the conceptual problem of the mRNA. They say DNA makes mRNA in the nucleus; then, the mRNA exits the nucleus through pores in the nuclear membrane and heads to the imaginary ribosomes, where it is translated into protein. So, how does the mRNA get out without letting any hydrogen ions in to equilibrate? An mRNA molecule is at least thousands and maybe millions of times bigger than a hydrogen ion. Picture the problem this way: Something the size of an elephant can go out, but something the size of a mosquito can’t get in.

Believe it or not, we’re expected to believe that there is something like a whirligig that attaches to the mRNA (the “elephant”) and spins around like a conveyor belt and takes the mRNA to the other side of the cell. Meanwhile, no one has ever seen the whirligig. (“But it must be a whirligig, because how else did the elephant get out?”) But then you have to ask, how does it go round and round and not tangle up the “branching” components of the ER? If you picture them like ropes, wouldn’t you have to untangle the ropes? (Didn’t any scientist ever go on a merry-go-round?) Once again, Hillman provided a common-sense answer. He showed that when you take tissue and quickly freeze it, it makes fracture lines—and that’s what we call the endoplasmic reticulum. The ER doesn’t exist.

In short, using basic principles of geometry, mathematics and logic, you can go through the same process with every component of the cell. Nothing on a standard cell diagram—with the exception of the nucleus, the mitochondria and a thin cell wall—has ever been proven to exist. It’s all make-believe.

Other Things That Just Ain’t So

In addition to the imaginary cell compo­nents, there are a lot of other things in science that, as Mark Twain put it, “we believe in but just ain’t so.” Consider “Neurology 101.” A neurologist’s explanation of how nerves work goes like this: We have nerves made up of nerve cells called “neurons”; they transmit electrical and chemical signals via “axons” that end in “synapses.” Something called the “presynaptic junction” releases chemical messengers called “neurotransmitters” (such as serotonin and do­pamine), which swim across the junction and attach to “postsynaptic receptors,” where they “depolarize” the next neuron and start the next impulse—and so on, until the nerve ends at its destination and “fires.” But the process can’t work like that; it’s nonsense. This becomes im­mediately obvious if you ask someone to wiggle the tip of their right or left index finger as soon as they hear the word “right” or “left”; they do it virtually instantaneously, with no lag time for this hypothesized neurotransmitter journey.12

In addition, if you dissect a nerve, you never see a synapse. Now, you could have the problem of “maybe it’s just too small to see,” but most things aren’t too small to see with an electron microscope. If you hunt down a picture of what an anatomical synapse is supposed to look like, what you’ll find are pictures of stained nerves. That’s not a synapse—because there are no synapses. The nerve is continuous.

Think about how much in medicine is based on neurotransmitters and receptors (such as the famed “ACE2 receptors,” “opiate receptors,” “dopamine receptors,” or “serotonin receptors”). They even tell us that it is oxytocin, a hormone that “acts as a neurotransmitter,” that makes us love someone. It couldn’t be because they’re a nice person or they give you a backrub—no, it’s the “love hormone” oxytocin.

Here is another example. How many of you have heard of the “blood-brain barrier” or believe there is such a barrier? We often hear about it from people opposed to vaccination, who say that vaccines make your blood-brain barrier “leaky.” The implication is that we’re talking about an actual anatomical structure—a physical barrier that stretches out like a piece of cellophane along the border between the blood vessels and your brain tissue so that nothing gets in or out—except vaccines. . . and except anesthetics because drug-makers “know how to get anesthetics through the blood-brain bar­rier.” Nonetheless, no one has ever proven the existence of such a barrier.

Just to be clear, I am not saying that there aren’t substances that get into the brain in a different way than they get into the liver. The liver and the brain each have a different com­position of water and lipids, so logically, some things will dissolve and get into the liver differently from how they get into the brain. But just because things get in the brain differently does not mean there is an anatomical barrier.

Finally, we can scrutinize the notion that DNA is the mech­anism of heredity. The premise of genetics is that you have a stable fixed code that is the same in every cell of your body. That fixed, stable DNA makes proteins, and the proteins make you. But there are probably two hundred thousand different types of protein, and only twenty thousand genes or units that code for these proteins. We’re told that one gene makes one protein, so how does that work? Where did the other one hundred eighty thousand proteins come from? The central dogma that one gene makes one protein cannot be true. So, how we are made can’t have anything to do with DNA and, therefore, DNA cannot be the code for biological systems. In fact, DNA changes from minute to minute—Barbara McClintock proved this decades ago13—so there is no stable DNA. We do not have the same DNA in all the tissues and cells of our body. These things have been 100 percent disproven.

It’s the Structured Water

The ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, synapses, neurotransmitters and blood-brain barrier represent just a partial list—and I do mean partial—of things of which I either doubt the existence or suspect their function is different from what we have been told. If you are still wondering what we are made up of, the reality is more beautiful, simpler, easier to understand and more logical and rational. The real answer to what we’re made of is structured water. Structured water, which creates free electrons, is the only possible explanation for how we’re able to instantaneously wiggle our index finger when we hear the word “right” or left.”

FIGURE 2. Dark-field microscope image of cells showing cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria and structured water.

Figure 2 is an image of a cell produced with dark-field microscopy, which is the most reliable technique for viewing live, unstained biologi­cal samples. In the image, you see a thin membrane (the outer coating); you see organized water (also called structured water, coherent water, EZ water, the fourth phase of water or liquid crystalline water); you see little black dots in the structured water (the mitochondria) and you see a nucleus that is always circular or dome-shaped—and that’s it.

Note that the mitochondria help structure our water by making ATP—which is not “energy” as we’ve been told. Think of struc­tured water like jello. If you add water to gelatin proteins, nothing happens, but if you heat the mix­ture, the heat unfolds the proteins and you get water that gels. As for us, we have all these proteins, and the mitochondria make the ATP that unfolds them so that the pro­teins can interact with water and form gels. All gels create a negative charge and an electromagnetic field around them, which is the voltage—the energy—of life. To put it simply, we are living liquid crystals.

The dome in the middle (the nucleus) also has something sticking out that collects energy from the world. It may be DNA, but it is not a double helix—it’s a spiral sticking out of the nucleus. The way it works is similar to a radio antenna. It “downloads” information coming in through “radio waves” that get picked up by the “antenna,” and out of that emerge proteins and life (or sound and song in the case of a radio). And this dynamic, tunable, responsive, liquid crystalline medium pervades the whole body—from the organs and tissues to the interior of every cell.

Note that in Genesis, before God created the Earth, plants or people, he created water and light energy. No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of the water and the Spirit. The Spirit is the informa­tion field that comes in through our antenna. Every scriptural tradition says that all living things and the universe itself are made of water.

What Does Make Us Sick?

If we now circle back to “what doesn’t make us sick,” we could sum­marize the answer in one word: “viruses.” And if we ask, “What does make us sick?”, the answer is also straightforward. We get sick when we mess up our structured water. If we disturb the gels by putting “schmutz” in them—which could be aluminum, mercury, glyphosate, bad food, EMFs, or even negative emotions like anger, fear, shame or guilt—that will distort or dissolve the gels. If we do that in our eye, we get a distorted gel that has a film on it, and we call that a “cataract.” If we distort the bursa in our knee, so that the gels that are supposed to protect both sides of the knee start sticking together, then we have bone on bone and we call that “arthritis.” Public health officials create epidemics by pulling different manifestations of distorted water into a single diagnosis—such as AIDS or Covid-19—and when they are ready to make the epidemic go away, they separate them back out into twenty different diagnoses. It’s very clever—and it’s nothing new.

Without describing it as such, medicine does sometimes assess the coherence of your water to see if you are sick. For example, doctors use MRIs to diagnose cancer. What is the MRI measuring? It’s measuring the coherence of your water. When your water goes from a gel-like jello to a puddle-like liquid, it sends a different signal to the MRI.

Imagine you have a poison grape in your “jello.” Your body heats up the gel and you get a fever—that’s hyperthermia. The heat dissolves the gel and makes it runny, creating mucus that you can spit out or cough up, or creating something you can push out through your skin. That’s what we call “being sick.” It makes perfect sense. If you want to flush out the poison grape, all you have to do is clean your gels—which is what detoxification approaches like the Gerson diet and water fasting are all about—and clean up the field and you will heal. If you want to know why you are sick, think about how you are structuring your water, what you’re putting into your water, the quality of the water and the quality or composition of the field that you’re exposed to.

I’m not the first person to say that water creates life. Mae Wan-Ho, a past speaker at Weston A. Price Foundation conferences, wrote books about “the role of biological water in organising living processes.”14 Mar­cel Vogel,15 who knew more about crystals than any human being ever alive and who invented liquid crystal screens, discovered that he could use the energetic fields of quartz crystals to structure water.16

We are made of a living, evolving, changing crystal, which is why we are not made of quartz. One way of viewing Covid-related events is that people like Bill Gates are trying to make us be made of quartz, not water. In some ways, that is what this is all about. As a fixed, perfect quartz crystal, they tell us, nothing will ever change and we can live forever. But that is not what I want. I want to change, grow, evolve and be a human being who has to be watered.

We’re swimming along with misconcep­tions in a make-believe world—and we have to get rid of this garbage. We can find a much better way once we explore and learn what we’re really made of and how it all works. Every reason we get sick has to do with a distortion of the field coming in.

Continuing with the radio analogy, you need to find the good signal instead of the dis­torted signal. The good signal is the sun, moon and the earth; good friends; your dog; com­munity; clean, nutrient-dense food, clean water and clean air; good music; and love, safety and freedom. That is the field that you “download” into the gel to give it information to organize progressively into the more and more perfect crystal that is you.

No Deathbed Confession

How have virology’s luminaries been able to claim they found a virus when we know they have never found one in any biological fluid? Let’s consider Luc Montagnier, the prestigious virologist who won a Nobel Prize for discovering HIV. He died in 2022. Montagnier acknowledged that purification was a necessary step to prove the existence of a virus (or, in the case of HIV, a retrovirus) but admitted, “We did not purify.”17 The technician who performed his electron microscopy for twenty years even said, “It turns out we never saw a virus. All we saw was junk.” But to his dying day, Montagnier never “fessed up” or acknowledged, “We don’t have a real virus.”

On what did Montagnier base his claim that he had found HIV? It’s very simple:

• He took lymphocytes from the lymph nodes of a person said to have AIDS.

• He stimulated them to grow with a chemical called PHA (phytohaemagglutinin).

• When the lymphocytes grew, he assayed them for an enzyme called reverse transcriptase.

• When he found reverse transcriptase, he said that it proved the existence of a new retrovirus eventually called HIV.

• To “prove” that HIV was transmissible to other people, Montagnier took his PHA-stimulated lymphocyte culture and put it in a lymphocyte culture from a healthy person. When he found reverse transcriptase in that culture as well, that was the “proof” that HIV is a transmissible disease.

There was only one problem. Ten years previously, Robert Gallo had written a paper reporting reverse transcriptase in every single culture from anybody with lymphocytes stimulated with PHA. Both Gallo and Montagnier knew that his experiment had nothing to do with proving that there was a retrovirus or any kind of virus at all. Later, the scientist credited with discovering the reverse transcriptase enzyme, David Baltimore, also admitted as much.18

Water Pictures

Veda Austin, a “water researcher,” has dedicated many years to observing the life of water, which she describes as “fluid intelligence.”19

Veda has developed techniques for photographing water in its “state of creation.” This work explores whether, if she asks water a question, the water can take in and download the information and, given the right circumstances, make structures that essentially answer that question. And what she has found is that if she puts the water in a dish and freezes it, the water organizes its crystals and makes pictures.

For example, when she showed the dish of water a wedding invitation and said, “Water, show me the wedding invitation,” the frozen water created an amazing artistic depiction of a wedding ring. But my favorite example is when she said, “Water, what is falling down?” The water did not create anything as straightforward as an image of rain; instead, the water produced an image of “London Bridge is falling down.”

“Safe and Free” by Jude Roberts20

In the last two years, I’ve learned important things from my cat Pumpkin. One stormy evening, with coyotes howling in the distance, I walked with Pumpkin toward the greenhouse where he sleeps, but Pumpkin started heading for the woods instead. When I called him, he gave me a look that seemed to say, “There’s no point in being safe if I can’t be free.” My friend Jude Roberts understands this, too. His song “Safe and Free” reminds us what this is all about.

I got up to go to work today,
there was no work for me.
Governor closed my shop, he say
to keep me safe and free
I’ve had my shop for twenty years,
It feeds my family,
And now we have to stay inside,
To keep us safe and free
To keep us safe and free
Called my dear old mother,
My mother said to me
“Son, I miss you dearly,
But you cannot come to tea”
“The children miss you, Mamma,
They’re healthy as can be.”
“A hug could kill their Grandma,
Keep them away from me.
Keep me safe and free.”
Giant tech and billionaires
And pharmacology
Spinning like a top to move
The wheels of industry
Amazon and Walmart,
The consumer pedigree,
They can do their business,
Because anyone can see
They keep us safe and free
Technocrats and robot gods
And blind authority,
Sell your soul and pray to them,
They’ll keep you safe and free
Biotech behemoths say
They have a shot for me.
I trust them with my body,
And forgive them for their greed
If it keeps me safe and free
Keep us safe from terrorists,
Keep us free from germs,
Keep us from the danger
Of the wisdom we have learned
Until the books are burned
Governor says to wear a mask
I cannot disagree
I cannot breathe or speak my mind,
But at least I’m safe and free
I’ll wear my mask for you my friend,
You wear your mask for me.
Worried eyes and faceless fear
Is all that we can see.
Sure feel safe and free
Keep us free from choices,
Keep us stuck in blame,
Keep us in a toxic state,
Of poverty and shame
While they run their game
I’ll open up my shop today
Even if they come for me.
If I can’t feed my family,
We’re neither safe nor free.
I may not be a scientist,
And I’m damn sure not a priest
Ain’t a fool on God’s green Earth
Can keep life safe for me.
So better I live free.

[Listen to Jude Roberts performing “Safe and Free”.]

Chaga Mushrooms: Nature’s Blueprint for Cancer Prevention

 

Truth Comes to Light editor’s note: In light of the recent environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio that has contaminated skies, residential areas, farmland, forests, rivers and smaller waterways and has already killed wildlife and domesticated animals, many are looking for ways to avoid getting cancer.  My own family is affected by this dire situation. The drift of these carcinogenic chemicals is already shown to cover an area of several hundred miles. Research on the chaga mushroom has shown potential for helping us survive this type of disaster. If you do a web search on the healing properties of chaga mushrooms you will find additional information. The following article was written by Dr. Tom Cowan in 2016. ~ Kathleen

 


“This is truly, again, yet another example of the ways the natural world speaks to us.  If we are afflicted with a potentially dangerous, black growth (like many cancers) either on our skin or our organs, nature puts a black, cancerous growth out in the forests, which contains substances that can counteract these growths.   It’s as if nature is giving us a blueprint to read, if only we have the eyes to see and the heart and mind to be open to its wonders. “


 

Chaga Mushrooms: Nature’s Blueprint for Cancer Prevention

by Dr. Tom Cowan
originally published December 29, 2016

 

Two of the things I probably loved the most as a teenager were sports and Russian novels.  My favorite novelist was Dostoyevsky, and at one point my sister claimed that I had morphed into the underground man.

Another favorite was Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who wrote the supposedly autobiographical account  The Cancer Ward, in which the main character had been sent to Siberia by the Soviet state and contracted an aggressive skin cancer.  As a result of the cancer, he was exiled to the cancer ward, a gruesome place where Siberian prisoners were sent to die with essentially no medical care, not even pain medications.

Understanding the desperate situation he was in, he escaped from the cancer ward and found refuge in an isolated Siberian village, where he was miraculously nursed back to health.  The main medicine that resulted in this profound healing from what was clearly a case of metastatic melanoma was a tea made from a fungus growing on birch trees.  This was my first exposure to the chaga mushroom.

any years later, during my training in anthroposophical medicine, I learned that Rudolf Steiner spoke about the healing properties of birch trees, especially on malignant skin cancer.   Steiner, using the principles of something we refer to now as the Doctrine of Signatures, which states that herbs resembling parts of the body can be used to treat ailments of those body parts, claimed that the peeling bark of the white birch trees was an image in nature of the properties of healthy skin.

We all know from the many uses of birch bark that it is impermeable to water (hence, birch bark canoes), strongly anti-microbial (which is why many traditional food containers were made from birch bark) and extremely durable (birch containers, like the salt container on my counter, last for decades).   These properties are clear images for what the skin should be – an impermeable layer that is strong, durable and protects us from water loss and infection.

The properties of the birch tree are relevant to a discussion of chaga mushrooms because chaga is a polypore (a type of mushroom) that almost exclusively grows in the wild on birch trees.

Chaga mushrooms are large, black, fungal-looking growths on the birch trees of the northern Siberian and Canadian forests.  They are the spitting image of what an untreated melanoma would look like if left to grow. Again, as suggested by the Doctrine of Signatures, chaga extracts and teas have been used for millennia by traditional peoples to treat both growths on the skin and the internal organs.

Interestingly, medical science has become interested in the healing properties of the chaga mushroom and the birch tree as well and has found many active ingredients that might account for these effects.

The main effects of chaga mushroom tea and extracts are regulating the lipid profile in the blood, reducing blood pressure, normalizing blood sugar and, most important, preventing and treating malignant growths, in particular, melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. 

Research in the past few decades has shown that birch trees produce a chemical called betulinum (“betula alba” is the botanical name for birch trees), which is a potent anti-cancer medicine, particularly active in preventing the growth or spread of melanoma cells.  Betulinum is concentrated by the chaga mushroom, which takes it into its body after extracting it from the birch tree.

This is truly, again, yet another example of the ways the natural world speaks to us.  If we are afflicted with a potentially dangerous, black growth (like many cancers) either on our skin or our organs, nature puts a black, cancerous growth out in the forests, which contains substances that can counteract these growths.   It’s as if nature is giving us a blueprint to read, if only we have the eyes to see and the heart and mind to be open to its wonders.

For many years I have given all of my melanoma patients and most of my other cancer patients some sort of chaga preparation to take essentially for the rest of their lives.  Some of the best results I have seen with cancer patients have been in those who made the consumption of chaga as much a part of their lives as brushing their teeth.  As a preventative, chaga tea is the best form to use. For those with cancer, it is best to combine the tea, which contains the water-soluble components, with a few dropper-fulls of an alcoholic chaga extract, which concentrates the fat-soluble components of the chaga.  I have been so impressed with the health-maintenance properties of chaga that for years I have consumed a chaga tea drink as a part of my daily diet.

The Rise of Ev-D68 & the Death of the Flu

The Rise of Ev-D68 & the Death of the Flu

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
January 26, 2023

 

Lions and Tigers and EV-D68!

Recently, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been reigniting fear of the enterovirus known as EV-D68, called back from its discovery in 1962. This virus was once considered uncommon, and caused flu-like symptoms. However, post-COVID, every old virus is  new again and potentially dangerous.

The CDC states that EV-D68 is not the flu and it is not COVID. It has the same symptoms as the common cold. It could also have serious complications that require hospitalization.

Confused yet?

The Disappearing Flu Act

Since the arrival of COVID, the common “flu” has all but disappeared from the medical lexicon. Flu Season no longer exists, even if all previous pandemics, going back to the 1500s, were considered to be blamed on the flu.  Goodbye Flu Season! Hello Stroke Season!

That is what one medical expertDr. Bhardwai, MD, claims:

…it turns out that after flu season, about three or four weeks later, there is a stroke season” Bhardwaj continued, “getting an annual flu shot can help prevent strokes.

Who knew? No matter, just remember to get that “annual flu shot,”…. for a flu that no longer exists.  

Pre-COVID, the flu was a top public health death threat. In 2005, the CDC acknowledged a difference between flu death and flu-associated death, but it used the terms interchangeably. The effect of lumping all deaths into “flu deaths” served to create fear to drive people to the prescribed solution: the flu vaccine. The data showed that flu deaths were more about PR than science. Especially when, in 2018, the DOJ admitted the flu vaccine to be the most dangerous vaccine in the U.S.

In 2013, according to Johns Hopkins scientist, Peter Doshi, the flu is characterized as a syndrome with many causes:

promotional messages conflate “influenza” (disease caused by influenza viruses) with “flu” (a syndrome with many causes, of which influenza viruses appear to be a minor contributor).  Source

The article stated that most flu cases are “bacteria cases,” “fungal cases,” “pollution cases,” “tainted food” cases, “eating GMO cases,” “weak immune system” cases, or something else. But they are not the flu. Further, he warned against the flu shot because why target something that may not be the cause in the first place?

This lack of precision causes physicians and potential vaccine recipients to have unrealistic assumptions about the vaccine’s potential benefit, and impedes dissemination of the evidence on nonpharmaceutical interventions against respiratory diseases. In addition, there are potential vaccine-related harms, as unexpected and serious adverse effects of influenza vaccines have occurred. I argue that decisions surrounding influenza vaccines need to include a discussion of these risks and benefits.  Source

Today, the “flu” is defined as: A disease caused by virus infecting the respiratory tract. Treatable by a medical professional.

Thus, by all definitions, EV-D68 is a flu. And, therefore, a flu vaccine for EV-D68 will be next.

Todays flu vaccines are “entirely new” mRNA technology that direct cells to make new proteins that the body has never seen before.  Pfizer will be in charge of early tests that will ready the shot for an August 2023 release date. Moderna has also created a new vaccine that aims to provide combined protection against both flu and COVID-19.  The FDA intends the COVID booster to be an annual flu shot.

The Universal flu vaccine is a quadravalant annual flu shot considered to be a game changer. When it was first proposed a decade ago, people had little interest. Thanks to the rise of EV-D68, the shot should be available within the next two years.

The Official EV-D68 Narrative

The CDC website states the official opinion:

EV-D68 typically causes respiratory illness, which can be mild (like a common cold) or more severe. Non-polio enteroviruses, like EV-D68, are thought to be very common, with most infections causing no symptoms or only mild symptoms. 

Pediatric doctors suggest the worst; that EV-D68 has the potential to become a severe illness that can spread person to person through sneezing and coughing. Serious symptoms include muscle paralysis and muscle weakness, or Acute Flaccid Myelitis, another name for Polio…. eyelid droop, inability to use arms or legs. It can last longer than a typical viral infection, more than 10 -14 days.

Nothing is common or typical since the introduction of the COVID mRNA inoculations for kids.  Just as before, doctors remain uncertain how to slow the progression of EV-D68. In other words, doctors have found no cure for the common flu.  But any search will disclose that EV-D68 has been studied down to its nucleic acids and proteins, which are patented.

History of EV-D68 In Children

In 2015, Enterovirus D68 was a top News Story for its damaging effect on children. In 2014, CDC “confirmed a total of 1,116 people in 47 states and the District of Columbia” with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68 and one confirmed death. To pump up the volume, the CDC called it “Non-Polio Enterovirus Infection” to describe features similar to polio in the most sensitive children who develop paralysis in the arms and legs.

The pattern of this “killer virus” always showed up from July through September, just in time for back-to-school shots. Therefore, it is reasonable to associate vaccines with these infections.  In  September of 2022, recycled headlines promoted renewed fear when the CDC Issued A Health Alert About Enterovirus in Kids.

In 2015, no vaccine or medical “cure” existed for this patented EV-D68, mainly because people were reluctant to add another vaccine to the already long list of vaccines on the childhood schedule. But that didn’t stop officials from pushing the flu vaccine. Fast forward to 2020, now that the flu is no longer an issue for anyone, a company called Intravacc has received a contract from the NIH to develop the enterovirus D68 vaccine!

The EV-D68 vaccine uses sIPV vaccine technology. sIPV stands for inactivated polio vaccine, which is marketed to contribute to the eradication of polio. Intravacc is also developing an intranasal, broadly protective Betacoronavirus vaccine. These vaccines are produced in China and authorized by the China FDA or Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

Flu Vaccine Track Record

Influenza vaccine production has grown parallel to increases in the perceived need for the vaccine. – Peter Doshi, BMJ, Sept. 2018

Unfortunately, the flu vaccine has been not something to write home about. In 2012, it was  reported in the medical journal Clinical Infectious Disease that the inactivated flu shot came with an increased risk for noninfluenza respiratory virus infections.

In 2019, the effectiveness of the flu vaccine was dubbed to be “the second lowest rate since 2014.”  “The experts” claimed that the 2019 flu vaccine had 29% the effectiveness of the previous year’s vaccine.  Put on your thinking caps and realize that the effectiveness of  the 2018 vaccine was dubbed to be only 29%.  What is 29% of 29%? 8.41%!  That is what you agree to as the best defense against the flu virus!  See this graph for a short history of effectiveness.

Even though the flu vaccine’s effectiveness has been negligible, the CDC always recommended “getting it now and early.” Then, they also recommended natural modalities, to boost the immune system: 1) nutritious meals, 2) low sugar intake, 3) 7-8 hours of sleep, 4) stress management, such as meditation, yoga, belly breathing, 5) vitamin supplements, and 6) herbs, such as Echinacea.

Since the dawn of The Covidian Age, all holistic recommendations have gone AWOL.  The only option now is to get the Emergency-Use-Authorized (EUA) experimental mRNA inoculations. So if you experience vaccine injuries?

Call your doctor.    

The Business of Vaccines

Government officials have long used their influence to convince people to inject unknown viruses and toxins into their bodies in the name of “health & safety.” These substances include mercury, toxic levels of aluminumphenol, borax, formaldehyde, aborted fetal tissue cells, animal cancer cells, micro and nano-contamination, viruses, mycoplasma, among other contaminants. This is standard policy, despite knowing that:

From the last three bullet points, is this science or business?

The need for continuous boosters mean the science is not working, but the business is.

Vaccine Adverse Events from Past Flu Vaccines

Eight years ago, children who received the flu vaccine were at three times the risk for hospitalization for flu, this according to the American Thoracic Society. Vaccinated children were two to five times more likely to be diagnosed with a disease than unvaccinated children. And infant mortality rates regressed when fewer vaccines were given, suggesting a synergistic toxicity with multiple vaccines.

The World Fact Book lists countries by mortality rate (IMR) under the age of 1. Of all developed countries, those that gave the most vaccines have the highest IMR. The U.S. ranks lower than Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia in infant mortality rate at number 169 out of 224.

In 2022, the new mRNA vaccines are  still not FDA-approved for kids. According to a FACT SHEET, “The FDA approved COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) ………..However, “the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is authorized under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for individuals 12 years of age and older, when prepared according to their respective instructions for use, can be used interchangeably.” Americans may not be able to get the FDA-approved COMIRNATY.

Meanwhile, no safety data was ever released by the vaccine makers until Pfizer was forced to release information under a lawsuit. As of January 31, 2022, “Pfizer documents disclosed a number of spontaneous adverse events reports.”

Pfizer also documented that the first adverse event associated with the vaccine was 1P36 Deletion Syndrome. This is a congenital genetic disorder that affects fetuses and deletes parts of their chromosomes, causing them to be born with severe intellectual disabilities.

The Consequences of EUA mRNAVaccines?

While it’s too soon to know whether mRNA flu vaccines will work better than traditional flu jabs, Levin is confident that they will be as safe and effective as the COVID-19 vaccines. –Katie Kerwin McCrimmon, UC Health, Aug 2022

VAERS Reported Deaths from COVID inoculations continue to climb. Could these statistics be the reason FDA will not approve this technology for use in humans? A running tally of deaths and injuries, in all age groups can be found here, with the understanding that these reports are less than 1% of actual numbers. Deaths in children are also being reported with the EUA inoculations:

1. 5 months old boy, 1 day after Pfizer, exposure via breast milk
2. 17 year old girl, 8 days after Pfizer injection
3. 16 year old girl, 9 days after Pfizer injection
4. 15 year old boy, 1 day after Pfizer injection
5. 17 year old boy, 8 days after Pfizer injection
6. 17 year old boy, 4 days after Pfizer injection
7. 15 year old boy, 23 days after Pfizer injection
8. 16 year old boy, 4 days after Pfizer injection
9. 17 year old girl, 15 days after Pfizer injection
10. 13 year old boy, 1 day after Pfizer injection
11. 16 year old girl, 21 days after Pfizer injection 
12. 17 year old girl, 6 days after Pfizer injection
13. 13 year old boy, 17 days after Pfizer injection
14. 16 year old boy, 27 days after Pfizer injection
15. 16 year old boy, 6 days after Pfizer injection
16. 16 year old boy, 4 days after Pfizer injection
17. 13 year old girl, 26 days after Pfizer injection
18. 13 year old girl, days until death after Pfizer injection not noted 
19. 17 year old boy, 94 days after Pfizer injection
20. 16 year old girl, 9 days after Pfizer injection
21. 11 year old girl, days until death after Pfizer injection not noted 
22. 16 year old boy, 23 days after Pfizer injection 
23. 16 year old girl, 1 day after Pfizer injection
24. 15 year old boy, 6 days after Pfizer injection
25. 12 year old girl, 22 days after Pfizer injection
26. 13 year old female, 15 days after Pfizer injection
27. 17 year old girl, 33 days after Pfizer injection

Pandemic Control 

In the name of “health and safety,” Pandemic Control is coming soon. China has already tested a DNA biochip assay that detects subtypes of influenza viruses using the PCR test. The WHO has developed ICD-11, an international system of disease classification, including a code for under-vaccinated.

The detection of viruses and vaccine status will likely be part of a social credit score system. Before this new system of “tracking and tracing” is deployed in a neighborhood near you, many obvious questions still need to be asked and answered:

1. When is the flu not “the flu?” (substitute pandemic for flu)

2. Why use PCR for viruses, when PCR is an invalid test for viruses?

3. If the coronavirus has not been officially isolated, why proceed further?

4. If holistic modalities heal the body and reverse disease, why inject anything?

Repeating Patterns

Little is known about the longterm direct effects of the experimental mRNA technology simply because it is experimental.

Humans are doomed to repeat history if they continue to follow old patterns of trust in government officials who practice medicine without a license. People only have to look at the past to see what lies ahead.  When it comes to conflicts of interest and harmful vaccines, much has not changed:

  • Adjuvants (e.g., aluminum) in vaccines, including the flu vaccine, can induce autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome, which include encephalitischronic fatigue syndrome, macrophagic myofasciitis, subcutaneous pseudolymphoma, and siliconosis. (Agmon-Levin, N. et al,  Journal of Autoimmunity 36, no. 1, February 03, 2011; Guillard, O. et al, J Trace Elem Med Biol. 26, no. 4 , October 26, 2012).
  • Adjuvants in the flu vaccine have been associated with an increase in antibodies leading to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), also known as Hughes Syndrome. The alum-antigen in many vaccines is identical to phospholipids, which form the cell membrane in every cell, it can attack any part of the body – the eye, cardiovascular system, brain, nerves, skin, reproductive system – but is becoming known for causing heart attacks and fetal death.(Blank, M. Lupus. Vol 21, no.7 June 2012.)
  • The 2010 Cochrane Review – a systems review of primary research in human health care and health policy – found “no evidence that flu vaccines affect complications, such as pneumonia, hospitalization transmission of flu” between people. (Jefferson, T., et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev7, July 7, 2010). Further, claims that the flu vaccine cuts elderly deaths in half were negated: “Due to poor quality data of the available evidence any conclusions regarding the effects of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older cannot be drawn.”
  • In the aftermath of the 2009/2010 swine flu scare, children in England and throughout the world given the Pandemrix flu vaccine had a 1,400 percent increased risk of developing narcolepsy compared to those not vaccinated. (Collignon, P. et al., Bmj 340, no. 3 (June 09, 2010)
  • A 2011 study in the Journal Vaccine, showed inflammatory adverse events (preeclampsia and preterm birth) among pregnant women taking the trivalent influenza vaccine (Christian, L. M.et al., Vaccine. September, 2011).
  • A 2011 study in the  Journal of Internal Medicine revealed flu shots result in inflammatory cardiovascular changes indicative of increased risk for serious heart-related events such as heart attack (Lanza et al. J. Intern. Med)
  • According to a 2012 double-blind, randomized, controlled trial (the first of its kind) conducted in healthy children 6 to 15 years of age, getting a flu shot was found to increase the risk of other respiratory viral infections over four-fold. (Benjamin J. et al., Clin Infect Dis. March 15, 2012).
  • An open 2013 letter published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons questioned whether flu vaccine mandates for healthcare workers are medically warranted and ethically correct, citing that the flu vaccine: 1) is a “statistical gamble” in targeting actual circulating viruses; 2) shows seventy percent of people are already immune at the time of vaccination, according to FDA studies; and 3) shows no evidence that it affects complications of pneumonia or transmission from person to person (as advertised) (Leib, Lee H. et al.,  Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons18, no. 2. 2013).
  • According to a 2005 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, “There are not enough influenza-related deaths to support the conclusion that vaccination can reduce total winter mortality among the U.S. elderly population by as much as half.” (Simonsen, L, Archives of Internal Medicine 165, no. 3, February 14, 2005).
  • The Fluzone flu vaccine insert for 2015 identifies 23 seniors who died during the trial.
  • In September 2015, England reported that the flu jab only works in 3 out of 100 or “virtually nothing.”
  • In 2019, Canadian research published in Clinical Infectious Diseases showed that those who vaccinated consecutively in 2012, 2013 and 2014 appeared to have a higher risk of being infected with new strains of the flu. The more flu shots, the greater the risk of flu!
Let The Healing Begin

It is time to return to Nature for self-healing. For self-healing tips to prevention and reversal of the flu, see my article, Andrographis Instead of the flu shot.

There is always a choice. Natural immunity or artificial immunity. You can choose to gather all the information at your disposal, even as it disappears off the internet. You can choose to rest and take it easy when faced with the flu. You can choose to boost immunity with natural foods, herbs, and homeopathy. But you must act on your choice, and not sit idle. The best defenses against illness, while protecting healthy cells, have been the age old remedies, common sense, and your own immune system.

Colds and flus allow the body to strengthen itself as it was created to do.  The immune system develops through its multi-layer interactions with stimuli in its internal and external environments. Babies first receive immune protection from their mother’s milk, as nature intended since the dawn of time.

Why fear the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself when evidence clearly shows there is much more to fear from the flu shot?

Terrain Therapy

Terrain Therapy

by Dr. Sam Bailey
December 3, 2022

 

We are very pleased to announce the release of a new book, ‘Terrain Therapy’. This has been months in the making and brings back to life the important writings of Dr Ulric Williams.

In this video I read my foreword for Terrain Therapy and outline how it has been one of the most important factors in shaping our understanding of health and the fundamental errors of the medical system.

This book contains information on:

  • what disease is and how it is brought about
  • why orthodox medical treatments are unable to cure
  • “healing crises” and how to manage them
  • dietary principles for adults and children
  • special diets (including hundreds of recipes)
  • how to start and end a fast to promote healing
  • mental and spiritual healing

and much more health and well-being wisdom!

If there is one book that I always come back to, it’s this one – my guide book to health, life, and spirituality.

The Frequency of Healing

The Frequency of Healing

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
August 25, 2022

 

All matter is frequency and vibration, whether alive or inanimate. If it exists, it has a frequency.

In the same way a wooden table has a specific frequency, so do sounds, thoughts, emotions, prayer, meditation, words, actions, cells, organ systems, and whole bodies, to name a few.

As sound vibration is made visible through the science of  Cymatics, energy is felt in the human body as e-motion, or energy-in-motion. Sound can be defined as vibrations that travel through the air, water, or other medium. Both sound vibration and emotional vibration manifest form.  As electromagnetic beings, made mostly of water, the human form resonates in frequencies.

The human senses, limited as they are, translate frequencies:
Eyes – Translate different photon vibrations creating the colors we see.
Ears – Translate sound wave frequencies into the notes we hear.
Nose – Translates the certain molecules into different odors.
Sense of touch – Translates tiny vibrations that create texture through the stimulation on nerves.

The Law of Correspondence

The Law of Correspondence states that there is always a correspondence between the outer world and the inner world – “as within, so without” or “as above, so below.” For example, there is a correspondence between numbers and sound and between sound and healing.

Pythagoras, the author of the Pythagorean Theorem, also founded the doctrine of the “Music of Spheres” which correlates the practice of numerology with tones. Since his time, many others have connected healing tones with healing and colors with healing. Of course, colors also correspond to the chakras (wheels of light) in the energy system of the body. Thus, sound healing focuses on specific frequencies that resonate with the chakras, the sources of life energy.

Everything distills down to a unique frequency. Frequencies either come together in harmony (health) or in dissonance (disease). When it comes to the frequency of healing, like heals like.

Sound Healing

Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch. – Debasish Mridha

Does music come to you more readily than words?  Hans Christian Anderson said, “Where words fail, music speaks.”

Music reflects both health and dis-ease. Musical notes that are overabundant or missing in your voice range correlate to specific physical ailments. Thus, if you know the frequency, you can find the solution.

According to Sharry Edwards, of Human BioAcoustics in the U.S., “BioAcoustics Voice Spectral Analysis can detect hidden or underlying stresses in the body that are expressed as disease.” The vocal print can identify toxins, pathogens and nutritional supplements that are too low or too high. In addition, vocal print can be used to match the most compatible treatment remedy to each client. The introduction of the proper low frequency sound to the body, indicated through voice analysis, has been shown to control: pain, body temperature, heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It has also been shown to regenerate body tissue, and alleviate the symptoms of many diseases (in some cases, even those considered to be incurable).

According to Elaine Thompson of Sound Therapy UK, a partial list of notes as they relate to the human body body include:

C: Personal power, female sexuality, caring for the self, caring for others, eye muscles (C and C#) blood problems, the heart muscle, cancer, circulation, large body muscle strength.

D and D#: cell oxygenation of digestion, liver, anger, emotions, mineral transport, constipation when note is full – digestion of food, male and female hormones, oxygen to eyes and muscles.  D#: Food allergies; Parkinson’s Disease, Lack of D Multiple Sclerosis

E: Lungs, dairy allergies, overabundant E for catarrh, bronchitis, asthma (congested kind), emotionally represents the heart; too much E can mean being stuck in a situation that you don’t like but don’t know what to do about it or can’t change – lack of E = no joy in your life or asthma (nervous kind) or hay fever & sinusitis (D#-E).

F: Kidneys, bladder, prostate, sexuality (male); Lack of F/F# in a man can mean possible low sex drive or not enough sexual activity. Procrastination or workaholic. Inability to integrate perception and action.

G: Neurotransmitters, minerals, the “happy” note. G is the colour of the sky. Lack of G/G# = depression (apathetic) too much G/G#/A = manic depression and mental disorders.

A: Eye problems, knees. Together with A# it represents the immune system. A = degeneration of the body functions, calf muscles, lower legs, degeneration of eyesight (missing A).

B: Represents the body electric, ears, hearing, deafness, and without B minerals don’t work so well. You lose your body electric balance when you have too much computer radiation. This can be helped with a daily shower.

Energy Manifests Matter

Low frequencies manifest anger, aggression, desire for control, and a state of disharmony, while high frequencies manifest joy, love, desire for peace, and a state of harmony. You have a choice what frequency you manifest. By shifting emotions, you are able to shift matter, and shift your reality.

You are an electric and magnetic being, and an Earthling. You are consciousness embodied in an Earth Suit, connected through energy that flows around you and through you. You are a spark of the Creator. You are a unique, individual expression of universal energy. You are connected to everything. You direct your energy through intention, feeling, and sharing your gifts to create your personal reality.

The beauty of this 3rd dimensional space is that you embody the frequency you choose and manifest it as matter. You can’t help it. The moral? Be conscious of your choices.

In all the possibilities of manifestation, conscious choosing is key. Choice means that individuals are not only responsible for their bodies but also for their thoughts. Each individual is responsible for his or her life.

The idea that the individual is responsible for health runs counter to the propaganda coming from Group Think, which manifests as the media, government, educational systems, religious institutions, laws and courts, and the allopathic medical system.

Outside of worldly systems, you come into this world through your body, alone. Likewise, you exit this world through your body, alone. Therefore, you, alone, are responsible for your body and your life, even if you are part of an overarching family, community, country, and humanity. You are in the world, not of the world.

That means you are your own healer. While others can guide you to heal, you are created to heal yourself. To better appreciate all that you are, learn more about your innate immune system here.

To understand your innate self-healing ability, it is important to perceive of the Big Picture.

The Frequency of Freedom = Choice

1. My Body My Choice:

You cannot have health without freedom, nor freedom without health. Under the Natural law, individuals have the inherent right to make health decisions for themselves, without coercion or discrimination – the right to choose what goes into your body. All man-made laws fall under Natural law; not the other way around.

2. Cost-Benefit Equation & The Individual

The individual is responsible for determining the costs and benefits of any medical or holistic treatment.

3. Mental Health

Like physical health, mental health is an individual responsibility because it influences how we think, feel, behave, face challenges, maintain relationships, recover from setbacks, etc.

4. Natural Rights

The role of government, employers, or societies at large, are not there to make decisions for individuals. When you allow governments to legislate choice it binds freedom to a contract and choice becomes obsolete. Choice and access are natural rights by birth and can neither be granted nor denied by any government or court.

5. Interference Frequencies

Arthur Firstenburg, author of The Invisible Rainbow, and president of Cellular Phone Task Force, compiled information on the biological effects of  radio wave frequencies in his free booklet Radio Wave Packet, What You Need To Know About Wireless Technology. Of course, since radio was deployed, there are now harmful 3G, 4G, 5G frequencies, with more coming. From plants to honey bees, to birds, mammals, whales, and humans, these frequencies are known to maim and kill. So it is equally important to know how to shield and protect yourself.

Create A Frequency of Healing
  • Begin each day with a simple ‘Thank you.’ Life is a gift. A positive affirmation is much better than “Life sucks and then you die” or “Thank God it’s Friday.” Expecting the worst is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  • Love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, why would you expect anyone else to love you? Love who you are, even your illness, which can be reversed because the body is made to heal itself if given the right tools. An illness is present to show you something you’ve been suppressing and it is time to express it.
  • There is no law of limitation. What you perceive to be true, will be true; what you expect is what you’ll get; how you talk to yourself is how you’ll see yourself and where you’ll find yourself.
  • Move your body. Exercise. Dance. Dance like no one is watching.
  • Turn off the T.V., the computer, and the cell phone.
  • Understand the 5G networks and towers are set up to interfere with your frequency and find ways to shield yourself, the plants, and Nature around you.
  • Go to Nature, ground yourself, practice Earthing (bare feet to the Earth), listen and connect to the sounds around you.
  • Be calm using your breath: 1) Breathe in through the left nostril, breathe out through the right; 2) Belly breathing. Breath with your belly using 4-count breathing. Breathe in for 4 counts, hold 4 counts, breath out 4 counts, hold 4 counts.
  • Be Creative: write, draw, cook, or sing.
  • Have fun. Laugh instead of cry.
  • Eat high frequency foods, foods of Nature, in their original packages.
  • Do something nice for yourself.
  • Bring music into your life.
  • Share your gifts, the ones you are passionate about.
  • Talk with a friend and keep the topic on the up-and-up.
  • Follow your intuition.

When you choose to create a healing frequency, you activate your innate healing potential as a frequency being. Shift happens. When you shift perception, you shift the world around you. You shift your reality. And life, as you know it, is never the same again.

FDA Colluded With Moderna to Bypass COVID Vaccine Safety Standards, Documents Reveal

FDA Colluded With Moderna to Bypass COVID Vaccine Safety Standards, Documents Reveal
According to Alexandra Latypova, an ex-pharmaceutical industry executive, documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine suggest the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Moderna colluded to bypass regulatory and scientific standards used to ensure products are safe.

 

by Megan Redshaw, The Defender
July 12, 2022

 

According to an ex-pharmaceutical industry and biotech executive, documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine suggest the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Moderna colluded to bypass regulatory and scientific standards used to ensure products are safe.

Alexandra Latypova has spent 25 years in pharmaceutical research and development working with more than 60 companies worldwide to submit data to the FDA on hundreds of clinical trials.

After analyzing 699 pages of studies and test results “supposedly used by the FDA to clear Moderna’s mRNA platform-based mRNA-1273, or Spikevax,” Latypova told The Defender she believes U.S. health agencies are lying to the public on behalf of vaccine manufacturers.

“It is evident that the FDA and NIH [National Institutes of Health] colluded with Moderna to subvert the regulatory and scientific standards of drug safety testing,” Latypova said.

“They accepted fraudulent test designs, substitutions of test articles, glaring omissions and whitewashing of serious signs of health damage by the product, then lied to the public on behalf of the manufacturers.”

In an op-ed on Trial Site News, Latypova disclosed the following findings:

  1. Moderna’s nonclinical summary contains mostly irrelevant materials.
  2. Moderna claims the active substance — mRNA in Spikevax — does not need to be studied for toxicity and can be replaced with any other mRNA without further testing.
  3. Moderna’s nonclinical program consisted of irrelevant studies of unapproved mRNAs and only one non-GLP [Good Laboratory Practice] toxicology study of mRNA-1273 — the active substance in Spikevax.
  4. There are two separate investigational new drug numbers for mRNA-1273. One is held by Moderna, the other by the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases within the NIH, representing a “serious conflict of interest.”
  5. The FDA failed to question Moderna’s “scientifically dishonest studies” dismissing an “extremely significant risk” of vaccine-induced antibody-enhanced disease.
  6. The FDA and Moderna lied about reproductive toxicology studies in public disclosures and product labeling.

“Moderna’s documents are poorly and often incompetently written — with numerous hypothetical statements unsupported by any data, proposed theories, and admission of using unvalidated assays and repetitive paragraphs throughout,” Latypova wrote.

“Quite shockingly, this represents the entire safety toxicology assessment for an extremely novel product that has gotten injected into millions of arms worldwide.”

Finding 1: Moderna’s non-clinical summary contains mostly irrelevant materials.

According to Latypova, about 80% of the materials disclosed by HHS that FDA considered in approving Moderna’s Spikevax pertain to other mRNA products unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19.

“Approximately 400 pages of the materials belong to a single biodistribution study in rats conducted at the Charles River facility in Canada for an irrelevant test article, mRNA-1674,” Latypova said. “This product is a construct of 6 different mRNAs studied for cytomegalovirus in 2017 and never approved for market.”

Latypova said the study showed lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) distribute throughout the entire body to all major organ systems.

Latypova found it odd the study protocol, report and amendments related to the study were copied numerous times throughout the HHS documents, suggesting Moderna may have been trying to meet a minimum word count.

In between the repetitive copies of the “same irrelevant study,” Latypova found “ModernaTX, Inc. 2.4 Nonclinical Overview” for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine with the investigational new drug application reference IND #19745.

Module 2.4, she said, is a standard part of the new drug application and is supposed to contain summaries of nonclinical studies.

Latypova wrote:

“There are three separate versions of Module 2.4 included and many sections appear to be missing. It is not clear why multiple versions are included and there is no explanation provided as to which version specifically was used for the approval of Spikevax by the FDA.”

Latypova noted all three copies of Module 2.4 appear to have the same overview but reference a different set of statements and studies.

Latypova said the description of the finished supplied product differs between the two versions:

“Version 1 (p. 0001466) [says] mRNA-1273 is provided as a sterile liquid for injection at a concentration of 5 mg/mL in 20 mM trometamol (Tris) buffer containing 87 mg/mL sucrose and 10.7 mM sodium acetate, at pH 7.5.

“Version 2 (p. 0001499) [says] the mRNA-1273 Drug Product is provided as a sterile suspension for injection at a concentration of 20 mg/mL in 20 mM Tris buffer containing 87 g/L sucrose and 4.3 mM acetate, at pH 7.5.”

“It appears from reading section 2.4.1.2 Test Material (p.0001499) that Version 2 of the drug product had been used for manufacturing the Lot AMPDP-200005 which was used for nonclinical studies,” Latypova said. But “there is no explanation given for why the drug product in version 1 is different, and no comparability testing studies between the two product specifications are provided.”

Latypova pointed out that the package insert for FDA-approved Spikevax does not contain any information regarding the concentration of the product supplied in its vials.

Finding 2: Moderna said Spikevax mRNA does not need to be studied for toxicity and can be replaced with any other mRNA without further testing.

Latypova alleges Moderna, Pfizer and Janssen — manufacturer of the Johnson & Johnson shot — along with the FDA, have been deceptive in their assertions claiming the risks of COVID-19 vaccines are associated with the LNP delivery platform, and therefore, the mRNA “payload” does not need to undergo standard safety toxicological tests.

The documents state:

“The distribution, toxicity, and genotoxicity associated with mRNA vaccines formulated in LNPs are driven primarily by the composition of the LNPs and, to a lesser extent, by the biologic activity of the antigen(s) encoded by the mRNA. Therefore, the distribution study, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant toxicology studies, and in vivo GLP-compliant genotoxicity study conducted with mRNA vaccines that encode various antigens developed with the Sponsor’s mRNA-based platform using SM 102-containing LNPs are considered supportive and BLA-enabling for mRNA-1273.”

Moderna is “claiming that the active drug substance of a novel medicine does not need to be tested for toxicity,” Latypova said. “This is analogous to claiming that a truck carrying food and a truck carrying explosives are the same thing. Ignore the cargo, focus on the vehicle.”

Latypova called the claim “preposterous,” as mRNAs and LNPs separately and together are “entirely novel chemical entities” that each require their own IND application and data dossier filed with regulators.

“Studies with one mRNA are no substitute for all others,” she added.

According to the European Medicines Agency, this chemical entity is entirely novel:

“The modified mRNA in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine is a chemical active substance that has not been previously authorized in medicinal products in the European Union. From a chemical structure point of view, the modified mRNA is not related to any other authorized substances. It is not structurally related as a salt, ester, ether, isomer, mixture of isomers, complex or derivative of an already approved active substance in the European Union.

“The modified mRNA is not an active metabolite of any active substance(s) approved in the European Union. The modified mRNA is not a pro-drug for any existing agent. The administration of the applied active substance does not expose patients to the same therapeutic moiety as already authorized active substance(s) in the European Union.

“A justification for these claims is provided in accordance with the ‘Reflection paper on the chemical structure and properties criteria to be considered for the evaluation of new active substance (NAS) status of chemical substances’ (EMA/CHMP/QWP/104223/2015), COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine is therefore classified as a New Active Substance and considered to be new in itself.”

“The reviewers specifically stated ‘modified RNA’ and not just the lipid envelope constitute the new chemical entity,” Latypova said. “All new chemical entities must undergo rigorous safety testing before they are approved as medicinal products in the United States, European Union and the rest of the world.”

Latypova said Moderna failed to cite any studies showing “all toxicity of the product resides with the lipid envelope and none with the payload” of the type and sequence of mRNA delivered to various tissues and organs.

“It is also not a matter of a mistake or rushing new technology to market under crisis conditions,” she added. “This scientifically fraudulent strategy was not only premeditated, it was also never really concealed.”

Latypova gave the example of a 2018 PowerPoint presentation by Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel at a JP Morgan conference where he stated: “If mRNA works once, it will work many times.”

“This describes the deception practiced by the manufacturers, FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NIH and every government health authority or mainstream media talking head who participated in it,” Latypova said.

She continued:

“Imagine Ford Motor Company claiming that its crash testing program should be contained to the vehicle’s tires and that one test is sufficient for all vehicle models.

“After all both F150 and Taurus have tires, what’s in between the tires ‘worked once and will work again,’ and therefore it is inconsequential to safety, does not need to be separately tested and can be replaced at the manufacturer’s will with any new variation.

“This is the claim that Moderna, Pfizer, Janssen and other manufacturers of the gene therapy ‘platforms’ have utilized. Unlike Ford’s products, theirs have never worked as none of their mRNA-based gene therapy products have ever been approved for any indication. The fact that the regulators did not object to this argument raises an even greater alarm.”

“There is no question of incompetence or mistake,” Latypova said. “If this represents the current ‘gold standard’ of regulatory pharmaceutical science, I have very bad news regarding the safety of the entire supply or new medicines in the U.S. and the world.”

Finding 3: Moderna’s nonclinical program included only one non-GLP toxicology study of the active substance in Spikevax. 

According to Latypova, a non-clinical program for a novel product usually includes information on pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, safety pharmacology, toxicology and other studies to determine the carcinogenicity or genotoxicity of a drug and its effects on reproduction.

The more novel the product, the more extensive the safety and toxicity evaluations need to be, she said.

In Module 2.4 described above, Latypova was able to identify 29 unique studies but only 10 were done with the correct mRNA-1273 test particle. The other studies were conducted using a “variety of unapproved experimental mRNAs unrelated to Spikevax or COVID illness.”

For example, the in-vivo genotoxicity studies included an irrelevant mRNA-1706 and a luciferase mRNA that is not in Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“Of the 10 studies using mRNA-1273, nine were pharmacology (‘efficacy’) studies and only one was a toxicology (‘safety’) study,” Latypova said. “All of these were non-GLP studies, i.e., research experiments conducted without validation standards acceptable for regulatory approval.”

There was only one toxicology study included in Moderna’s package related to the correct test particle mRNA-1273, but the study was non-GLP compliant, was conducted in rats and was not completed at the time the documents were submitted to the FDA for approval.

The results of the study were indicative of possible tissue damage, systemic inflammation and potential severe safety issues — and they are also dose-dependent, Latypova said. Moderna noted its findings but “simply moved on, deciding to forgo any further evaluation of these effects.”

Regarding reproductive toxicology, the only assessment was conducted on rats.

Pharmacokinetics — or the biodistribution, absorption, metabolism and excretion of a compound — were not studied with Moderna’s Spikevax mRNA-1273.

“Instead, Moderna included a set of studies with another, unrelated mRNA-1647 — a construct of six different mRNAs which was in development for cytomegalovirus in 2017 in a non-GLP compliant study,” Latypova said. “This product has not been approved for market and its current development status is unknown.”

Moderna claimed the LNP formulation of mRNA-1647 was the same as in Spikevax, so the study using this particle was “supportive of” the development of Spikevax.

“This claim is dishonest,” Latypova said. “While the kinetics of the product may be studied this way, the toxicities may not!”

She explained:

“We do not know what happens with the organs and tissues when the delivered mRNA starts expressing spike proteins in those cells. This is a crucial safety-related issue, and both the manufacturer and the regulator were aware of it, yet chose to ignore it.

“The study demonstrated that the LNPs did not remain in the vaccination site exclusively, but were distributed in all organs analyzed, except the kidney. High concentrations were observed in lymph nodes and spleen and persisted in those organs at three days after the injection.

“The study was stopped before full clearance could be observed, therefore no knowledge exists on the full time-course of the biodistribution. Other organs where vaccine product was detected included bone marrow, brain, eye, heart, small intestine, liver, lung, stomach and testes.”

Given that LNPs of the mRNA-1647 were detected in these tissues, it’s reasonable to assume the same occurs with mRNA-1273 and “likewise would distribute in the same way,” Latypova said. “Therefore the spike protein would be expressed by the cells in those critical organ systems with unpredictable and possibly catastrophic effects.”

“Neither Moderna nor FDA wanted to evaluate this matter any further,” she added. “No metabolism, excretion, pharmacokinetic drug interactions or any other pharmacokinetic studies for mRNA-1273 were conducted,” nor were safety pharmacology assessments for any organ classes.

Finding 4: ‘Serious conflict of interest’ exists between Moderna and NIH.

According to Latypova, Moderna’s documents contain a letter from the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases authorizing the FDA to refer to IND #19635 to support the review of Moderna’s own IND #19745 provided in “Module 1.4.”

Although Module 1.4 was not included in the documents provided by HHS, the FDA on Jan. 30 revealed the following timeline for Moderna’s Spikevax.

According to the FDA, Spikevax has two sponsors of its IND application package, including the NIH division that reports to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical advisor to President Biden.

The date of the pre-IND meeting for Spikevax was on Feb. 19, 2020. The IND submission for the NIH’s IND was on Feb. 20, 2020, while Moderna’s own IND was submitted on April 27, 2020.

According to the CDC, as of Jan. 11, 2020, Chinese health authorities had identified more than 40 human infections as part of the COVID-19 outbreak first reported on Dec. 31, 2020.

The World Health Organization on Jan. 9, 2020, announced the preliminary identification of the novel coronavirus. The record of Wuhan-Hu-1 includes sequence data, annotation and metadata from the virus isolated from a patient approximately two weeks prior.

Latypova said this raises several questions warranting further investigation:

  • Preparation for a pre-IND meeting is a process that typically takes several months, and is expensive and labor-consuming. How was it possible for the NIH and Moderna to have a pre-IND meeting for a Phase 1 human clinical trial scheduled with the FDA for a vaccine product a month before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared?
  • “How was it possible to have all materials prepared and the entire non-clinical testing process completed for this specific product related to a very specific virus which was only isolated and sequenced (so we were told) by Jan. 9, 2020?”
  • Ownership of the IND is both a legal and commercial matter, which in the case of a public-private partnership, must be transparently disclosed. “What is the precise commercial and legal arrangement between Moderna and NIH regarding Spikevax?”
  • “Does NIH financially benefit from sales of Moderna’s product? Who at NIH specifically?”
  • “Does forcing vaccination with the Moderna product via mandates, government-funded media campaigns and perverse government financial incentives to schools, healthcare system and employers represent a significant conflict of interest for the NIH as a financial beneficiary of these actions?”
  • “Does concealing important safety information by a financially interested party (NIH and Moderna) represent a conspiracy by the pharma-government cartel to defraud the public?”

Latypova further noted that immediately after the pre-IND meeting with the FDA, an “extremely heavy volume of orders for Moderna stock” began to be placed in the public markets.

This warrants an “additional investigation into the investors that were able to predict the spectacular future of the previously poorly performing stock with such timely precision,” she said.

Finding 5: FDA failed to question Moderna’s ‘scientifically dishonest studies’ dismissing an ‘extremely significant risk’ of vaccine-induced antibody-enhanced disease.

Moderna, prior to 2020, had never brought an approved drug to market.

“Its entire product development history was marked by numerous failures despite millions of dollars and lengthy time spent in development,” Latypova said. “Notably, its mRNA-based vaccines were associated with the antibody-dependent-enhancement phenomenon.”

For example, Moderna’s preclinical study of its mRNA-based Zika vaccine in mice showed all mice “uniformly [suffered from] lethal infection and severe disease due to antibody enhancement.”

The scientists were able to develop a type of vaccine that generated protection against Zika that “resulted in significantly less morbidity and mortality,” but all versions of the vaccine unequivocally led to some level of antibody-dependent-enhancement.

The Primary Pharmacology section for Spikevax includes nine studies evaluating immunogenicity, protection from viral replication and potential for vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease.

“These studies included the correct test article (mRNA-1273), however, all were non-GLP compliant,” Latypova said. The results of these studies are briefly summarized in the text of the document package, yet the study reports are not provided.

In the disclosed documents, Moderna claims “there were no established animal models” for SARS-CoV-2 virus due to its extreme novelty.

Yet, in the next sentence, “despite the extreme novelty of the virus,” Ralph Baric, Ph.D., at the University of North Carolina possessed an already mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus strain and provided it for some of Moderna’s studies, Latypova said.

According to Latypova’s assessment, there were other numerous contradictions in Moderna’s documents, and when enhanced disease risk was revealed in assays, the company waived off its own results with a statement regarding the invalidity of the assays and methods they used.

“As SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assays are, to this point, still highly variable and in the process of being further developed, optimized and validated, study measurements should not be considered a strong predictor of clinical outcomes, especially in the absence of results from a positive control that has demonstrated disease enhancement,” Moderna said.

“Clearly, both Moderna and FDA knew about disease enhancement and were aware of numerous examples of this dangerous phenomenon, including Moderna’s own Zika vaccine product of the same type,” Latypova said. “Yet, the FDA did not question Moderna’s scientifically dishonest ‘studies’ that dismissed this extremely significant risk without a proper study design.”

Finding 6: FDA and Moderna lied about reproductive toxicology studies in public disclosures and product labeling.

Although the FDA recommends Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant and lactating women, Moderna conducted only one reproductive toxicology study in pregnant and lactating rats using a human dose of 100 mcg of mRNA-1273.

Although the full study was excluded, a narrative summary of Moderna’s findings state, “high IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 S-2P were also observed in GD 21 F1 fetuses and LD 21 F1 pups, indicating strong transfer of antibodies from dam to fetus and from dam to pup.”

Latypova said safety assessments in the study are very limited, but the following findings are described by Moderna:

“The mothers lost fur after vaccine administration, and it persisted for several days. No information on when it was fully resolved since the study was terminated before this could be assessed.”

In the rat pups, the following skeletal malformations were observed:

“In the F1 generation [rat pups], there were no mRNA-1273-related effects or changes in the following parameters: mortality, body weight, clinical observations, macroscopic observations, gross pathology, external or visceral malformations or variations, skeletal malformations, and mean number of ossification sites per fetus per litter.

“mRNA-1273-related variations in skeletal examination included statistically significant increases in the number of F1 rats with 1 or more wavy ribs and 1 or more rib nodules.

“Wavy ribs appeared in 6 fetuses and 4 litters with a fetal prevalence of 4.03% and a litter prevalence of 18.2%. Rib nodules appeared in 5 of those 6 fetuses.”

Moderna related the skeletal malformations to days when toxicity was observed in the mothers but waived away the finding as “unrelated to the vaccine,” Latypova said.

The FDA then “lied on Moderna’s behalf” in its Basis for Regulatory Action Summary document (p.14) stating “no skeletal malformations” occurred in the non-clinical study in rat pups despite the opposite reported by Moderna.

“No vaccine-related fetal malformations or variations and no adverse effect on postnatal development were observed in the study. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses to the pre-fusion stabilized spike protein antigen following immunization were observed in maternal samples and F1 generation rats indicating transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus and from mother to nursing pups.”

“In summary, the vaccine-derived antibodies transfer from mother to child,” Latypova said. “It was never assessed by Moderna whether the LNPs, mRNA and spike proteins transfer as well, but it is reasonable to assume that they do due to the mechanism of action of these products.”

Latypova said studies should have been done to assess the risks to the child by vaccinating pregnant or lactating women before recommending these groups receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

“We should ask the question why are they concealing the critical safety-related information from public, and making the product look better than the manufacturer has admitted,” Latypova said.

“The FDA did not have any objective scientific evidence excluding the skeletal malformations being related to the vaccine,” she added. “Thus, the information should have been disclosed fully in the label of this experimental and poorly tested product — not hidden from the public for over a year and then disclosed only under a court order.”

Latypova said FDA reviewers should have “easily seen through the blatant fraud, omissions, use of inadequate study designs and general lack of scientific rigor.”

The fact that more than half of the document package contains non-GLP studies for irrelevant, unapproved and previously failed chemical entities alone should have been sufficient reason to not approve this product, she added.

It would appear the FDA based its decision that the product is safe to administer to thousands of otherwise healthy humans on two studies in rats, Latypova said. The rest of the 700-page package was deemed to consist of “other supportive studies.”

The FDA noted studies were conducted in “five vaccines formulated in SM-102 lipid particles containing mRNAs encoding various viral glycoprotein antigens” but “failed to mention that these were five unapproved and previously failed products,” she said.

The regulators then concluded that using novel unapproved mRNAs in support of another unapproved novel mRNA was acceptable.

“The circular logic is astonishing,” Latypova said. Regulators allowed and personally promoted the use of failed experiments in support of a different and new experiment directly on the unsuspecting public.

Latypova called for the FDA, pharmaceutical manufacturers and “all other perpetrators of this fraud to be urgently stopped and investigated.”

Salt & Water Cure: How to Take Both, in Adequate Amounts, the Right Form, and at the Right Times

Salt & Water Cure: How to Take Both, in Adequate Amounts, the Right Form, and at the Right Times
Barbara O’Neill, Reviving Dr. Batmanghelidj

by Celia Farber, The Truth Barrier
July 12, 2022

 

I have been feeling extremely exhausted lately, though I am in a very beautiful, and peaceful place on earth: Almuñécar, Spain, (where I wound up by way of not having the energy to transport to Malaga to fly back to the US on the appointed date; More on this soon.)

I love Barbara O’Neill, and was happy when YouTube’s algorithms offered me this video. I also am a devotee of the late Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, (Dr. B) and am known to tell people to drink two glasses of water at the first sign of many a symptom. It works, when people listen. Headaches, dizziness, migraines, allergies—always offer people two glasses of water, and witness what happens.

I just took two dabs of seat salt and a glass of water. Energy lifted, sadness decreased. I found I had the energy to write and post this.

I believed I was “drinking enough water” but maybe not by the standards of being in Andalucia in July. The next thing I am wondering is whether one can collect and drink small amounts of seawater, to balance minerals.

Here’s some biographical background on Dr. B, whose untimely death certainly left many of us wondering:

Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D., an internationally renowned researcher, author and advocate of the natural healing power of water, was born in Iran in 1931. He attended Fettes College in Scotland and was a graduate of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University, where he studied under Sir Alexander Fleming, who shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin.

Dr. Batmanghelidj practiced medicine in the United Kingdom before returning to Iran where he played a key role in the development of hospitals and medical centers. He also helped establish sport projects for youth in Iran, including The Ice Palace in Tehran, the first ice skating and sports complex in the Middle East.

When the Iranian Revolution broke out in 1979, Dr. Batmanghelidj was placed in the infamous Evin Prison as a political prisoner for two years and seven months. It was there he discovered the healing powers of water. One night, Dr. B. had to treat a fellow prisoner with crippling peptic ulcer pain. With no medications at his disposal, Dr. B. gave him two glasses of water. Within eight minutes, his pain disappeared. He was instructed to drink two glasses of water every three hours and became absolutely pain free for his four remaining months in the prison. Dr. B. successfully treated 3,000 fellow prisoners suffering from stress-induced peptic ulcer disease with water alone. While in prison he conducted extensive research into the medicinal effects of water in preventing and relieving many painful degenerative diseases.”

Read more here.

My father was an admirer of Dr. B. and had him on his show many times, as well as the man who continued spreading the gospel of water Dr. B discovered in Evin prison, Bob Butts.

Look what Dr. B wrote about “HIV” decades ago:

Wow.

In other words, “AIDS” causes “HIV.”

A minor note, about his lovely name, which may have kept him from becoming what we call a “household name—” I think it’s pronounced “Bat-Man- Getty.”

Is Terrain Theory Just a Theory?

Is Terrain Theory Just a Theory?

by Rosanne Lindsay, Traditional Naturopath, Nature of Healing
July 4, 2022

 

In the world of healing and opposite extremes, The Terrain Theory is contrasted to The Germ Theory.

Are these opposing theories working for us?  Are people healing on all levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual? Or are opposites set up to cause friction, division, and separation?

In a world of duality, are people coerced into making a choice between two extremes when there is always a third option: balance?  If balance is where healing, peace, and unity are found, then shouldn’t we move past duality toward a One consciousness existence?

In a world of opposing forces, does one force eventually rise to truth, thus proving the opposite to be counterfeit? Or are both valid options in a world of free will and free choice? Let’s break these theories down to discern if we must be held to a dual reality standard or if another reality works better.

The Terrain Theory states that:

diseases are results of our internal environment and its ability to maintain homeostasis against outside threats. Terrain theory believes if an individual maintains a healthy terrain, it can handle outside invaders or threats (microbes), which cause diseases. When terrain is weak, it favors the microbes.

The Germ Theory states that:

specific microscopic organisms are the cause of specific diseases. The theory was developed, proved, and popularized in Europe and North America between about 1850 and 1920. Because its implications were so different from the centuries–old humoral theory, germ theory revolutionized the theory and practice of medicine and the understanding of disease.

Two Theories of Disease

Both theories are offered as a reason for disease. Here is the breakdown:

GERM THEORY (by LOUIS PASTEUR)

The body is sterile.

Disease arises from micro-organisms outside the body.

Micro-organisms are generally to be guarded against.

The function of micro-organisms is constant.

The shapes and colors of micro-organisms are constant.

Every disease is associated with a particular micro-organism.

Micro-organisms are primary causal agents.

Disease can “strike” any body.

Koch’s Postulates are used to prove both that specific germs cause specific diseases and that disease germs transmit disease from one body to another, which is fundamental to the germ theory. Read more below.

TERRAIN THEORY or MICROZYMIAN THEORY or CELLULAR THEORY (By BERNARD & BÉCHAMP)

Microbes exist naturally in the body.

Disease arises from microorganisms within the cells of the body.

These intracellular microbes normally function to build and assist in the metabolic processes of the body.

The function of these organisms changes to assist in the catabolic (disintegration) processes of the host organism when that organism dies or is injured, which may be chemical as well as mechanical.

Microbes are pleomorphic (having many forms): they change their shapes and colors (shape-shift) to reflect the condition of the host.

Every disease is associated with a particular condition.

Disease results when microbes change form, function, and toxicity according to the terrain of the host. Hence, the condition of the host organism is the primary causal agent.

Disease is built by unhealthy conditions.

To prevent disease we have to create health.

Disease reversal proves that changing the internal terrain heals the body.

Each theory is set up as an offer to consider.  Whether you consider yourself to be a left-brained or right-brained human, whether you identify as a man, a woman, or something in between, you can choose what best resonates with you. Such is life in duality reality!

If you choose The Germ Theory, you believe in an invisible germ as the causative agent of disease. The germ is an external agent. The agent is thwarted by using harsh FDA-approved solutions, such as chemicals and injections to kill the agent, by medical gatekeepers who are licensed by government officials. In the process, these solutions suppress your symptoms with its direct effects.

If, on the other hand, you choose The Terrain Theory, you might also recognize the concept of balance. You might experience ‘As Within So Without,’ the universal law of correspondence, and see the One consciousness, where everything is connected. To kill a microbe inside your body is to kill a part of yourself, since you know you are 10:1 more microbe than human. In choosing Terrain Theory, you chose to regain balance using Nature’s medicine in the form of herbs, plants, clays, clean water, clean air, homeopathic remedies, Earthing, meditation, exercise, and good sleep. These natural solutions serve to support and enhance your immune system, your natural defense system.

Meanwhile, pay no attention to the man who recanted his Germ Theory on his deathbed, Louis Pasteur, who said:

The microbe (germ) is nothing. The terrain (milieu) is everything.” – Louis Pasteur, 1895 

Two Laws In Duality

The main difference between these two theories? The Germ Theory falls under Human-made law, while the Terrain Theory falls under Natural Law.

What is Natural Law?

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” Here, Jefferson was referring to Natural Law, a universal standard that directly reflects human nature.

Natural Law is determined by the human condition. Jefferson considered the equality of man, and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be born directly from the nature of humanity.

Natural Law is the embodiment of Universal Spiritual Laws, which governs Consciousness. Consciousness creates reality through each of us using free will, which is inborn and, therefore, a birthright.

Natural law describes the universal Laws on which both Spiritual and Natural Order are based. It is the mathematics and sacred geometry expressed by all life, connected to everything in nature under the sun.

The Power of Free Will

Where there is a will there is a way!

Everyone conceived and born in this dimension is granted free will by the Creator. Free to obey or disobey the Natural Laws, your choice determines the consequences. By your choice, you become responsible for the outcome.

Nobody ever did or ever will escape the consequences of his choices.”- Alfred A. Montapert

Natural Law honors personal responsibility.

Natural Law holds true regardless of a population’s belief systems. Therefore, it does not matter how many people agree that a “Wrong can be turned into a Right” or that “a Right can be turned into a Wrong.” It does not matter if you believe in a Germ Theory or a Terrain Theory. Natural law equals the freedom to choose.

For instance, most of humanity erroneously believes that it is morally possible for governments to “create” and “delegate” Rights, and to take away “Rights.” [See Roe v. Wade]. Neither is accurate.

“Government Rights” is an oxymoron. These “Rights” are a way that government claims rights over your body. No one considers the fact that governments cannot create rights at all. Governments are established to protect natural human rights, rights that are inborn. Governments are limited to granting “benefits and privileges,” that are taken away as easily as they are granted. [See the driver’s license or any license or law].

In reality, Natural Law is a system of natural justice, a level of understanding held to be common among all humans, derived from Nature rather than from human-made law. The Law of Terrain is all about bringing the ecosystem back into balance, internal and external. Government has no jurisdiction over Nature.

If a human-made law is in harmony with Natural Law, it logically follows that it is redundant since it states a truth that is inherent, pre-existing, and self-evident. Such human-made laws are both irrelevant and unnecessary.

If a particular human-made law is in opposition to Natural Law, then it follows logically that it is both false (incorrect) and immoral (harmful), or in other words, wrong. Such a law can neither be legitimate, nor binding upon anyone.

Why would natural healers choose to believe The Germ theory after watching people heal themselves and reverse disease, using Nature’s tools and their innate immune systems?

To Prove A Cause

To choose The Germ Theory narrative nets the cause to the ills of the Coronavirus pandemic. Germ Theorists accept an external cause hypothesis as the reason for global disease outbreaks. Yet only one group of “approved scientists” are ever able to identify this cause. The cause is never self-evident.

Perhaps the real plague of humanity is the 100-year pandemic cycle (of coercion) that removes freedoms through individual choice and action.

Under COVID, pro-Germ Theorists subscribe to a virus called Coronavirus as the cause of the condition called “COVID”, much like HIV was ascribed as the cause of the condition called AIDS. [See How COVID is like AIDS].

Up until recently, the world of science suggested a fool-proof way to prove a causal relationship between an infectious agent and a disease through a process known as Koch’s Postulates. Koch’s postulates include four criteria that must be fulfilled to prove a true cause. These 4 criteria are:

(1) it must be found in all cases of the disease;
(2) it must be isolated from the host and grown in pure culture;
(3) it must reproduce the original disease when introduced into a susceptible host;
(4) it must be found present in the experimental host so infected

Kochs Postulates Obsolete

Unfortunately, Coronavirus does not meet any of the above 4 criteria. Some official sources claim that Coronavirus has never been isolated. This makes sense since a virus cannot reproduce on its own. A virus is not alive. It cannot be found in a host since it hides inside cells, and it has not been found in all cases of disease. Some say the virus is really an exosome that has been demonized and inverted. Does the body create exosomes as part of the natural healing process? Are exosomes as individual as the host?

...exosomes have activities as diverse as remodeling the extracellular matrix and transmitting signals and molecules to other cells. This pathway of intercellular vesicle traffic plays important roles in many aspects of human health and disease, including development, immunity, tissue homeostasis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. –Annu Rev Biochem, 2019

Back to the killer virus!  The pro-Germ Theorists have an answer to why viruses cannot be found, except in a lab.

Some scientists claim that Koch’s postulates need not be fulfilled to prove a virus. As early as the 19th century, researchers realized that viruses invalidate Koch’s postulates because they require another living cell in order to replicate. Yet, others claim that they have proven Coronavirus exists using Koch’s postulates [using creative license]. Notice the contradiction?

The entire fabric of the germ theory of disease rests upon assumptions which not only have not been proved, but which are incapable of proof, and many of them can be proved to be the reverse of truth. The basic one of the unproven assumptions, wholly due to Pasteur, is the hypothesis that all the so-called infections and contagious disorders are caused by germs. – M.L. Leverson, M.D

We live in a world of contradictions because we live in a world of duality where you get to make a choice from what is offered.

If Koch’s Postulates are rendered obsolete, then a new standard appears, the PCR test!

Unfortunately, a virus cannot be proven through the use of a PCR test either, since the test’s inventor, Dr. Kary B. Mullis, specifically warned against its use to identify any virus since the amplification necessary to run the test means the results are nonspecific and test positive for everything. This is the same PCR test used to “prove” HIV/AIDS.

It uses ‘amplification’ which means taking a very very tiny amount of DNA and growing it exponentially until it can be analysed. Obviously any minute contaminations in the sample will also be amplified leading to potentially gross errors of discovery.

I don’t think they understand what they’re doing; I think it’s out of control. They don’t know how to end this. This is what I think what happened: They have built a pandemic machine over many years and, and as you know, there was a pandemic exercise not long before this whole thing started. – Kary Mullis, TruthinPlainSight.com

Dr. Kary B. Mullis died on August 7, 2019 at age 74. He emphatically stated that no infection or illness can be accurately diagnosed with the PCR-RT. Mullis also questioned the validity of the HIV/ AIDS theory.

Patenting Nature

Coronavirus cannot be proven as a causative agent to any disease using the existing science. It must be taken on “scientific faith,” an oxymoron. This is  known as Scientism, the religion of Science. Scientism is based in a material view that the hard sciences—chemistry, physics, virology, astronomy—provide the only genuine knowledge and truth of reality. Everything else is labelled as bigotry, demonized, or censored.

The Germ Theory and pandemic serve a purpose in leading people to lose identity and choose the path of a material world. By choosing Germs, people accept government-approved experts to provide the scientific truth of healing. In the process, people give up responsibility for self-healing and, in the process, suppress their true Nature.

The Germ Theory further serves as a tool to patent Nature.  The patents for Coronavirus are numerous, and net lucrative vaccine deals. The patents go back to 2015, well before the causative “Coronavirus” agent was named. Well before billions in profit could be realized by vaccine makers. Now, “new and improved” recombinant patented vaccines containing Monkeypox, Smallpox and Horsepox are being introduced to those who choose this science.

One recent study by the American Chemical Society identified over 2,000 patents relating to SARS and MERS treatments alone. These patents are held by a range of companies and institutions across North America, Asia and Europe.

However, Nature can never be patented by manipulation since the result is a mere simulation; a false, immoral, and illegitimate representative of Nature, with matching consequences.

The time will come – and it may not be far off – … The soul will be made non-existent with the aid of a drug. Taking a ‘sound point of view,’ people will invent a vaccine to influence the organism as early as possible, preferably as soon as it is born, so that this human body never even gets the idea that there is a soul and spirit. The heirs of modern materialism will look for the vaccine to make the body ‘healthy,’ that is, make its constitution such that this body no longer talks of such rubbish as soul and spirit, but takes a ‘sound’ view of the forces which live in engines and in chemistry and let planets and suns arise from nebulae in the cosmos. – Rudolf Steiner, October 7, 1917, The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness, A Future Vaccine to Prevent Knowledge of Soul and Spirit, Rudolf Steiner Press, Bristol, 1993, GA 177, p. 85

Questioning Duality

Terrain Theorists don’t want to argue. They like to question the status quo. They support free will and the freedom to choose as all important.

Free will is the gift that keeps on giving. The gift is also engaging in the disease process to find answers, your answers. Dis-ease is a spiritual offer to evolve and heal on many levels, in many  layers, and in many dimensions. Owning your immune system makes you responsible for yourself. This is Natural Law, to claim responsibility for your individual part of the greater whole… not the greater good. For, as you change from within, your world changes.

Perhaps it is in accepting an Earth Suit and meeting the challenge of the dis-ease process, through finding balance, that is the full exbodiment of Natural Law in action.

The media platform that pits one theory against another is an artifact of duality reality. Media is a distraction away from seeking Nature and balance.

Make Your Choice

It’s time to choose the best offer.  Door #1 or Door #2? The Universe of Nature, or the Metaverse of Cyborgs?

The Metaverse is a Transhuman reality that connects human minds to an artificial neural net. The Star Trek Series disclosed the center of the Metaverse as The Borg. The Borg are cyborgs. Their mission? To remove the human from human consciousness.

They’re made up of organic and artificial life which has been developing for thousands of centuries.” – Guinan, 2365 (“Q Who”)

“Interesting, isn’t it? Not a he, not a she. Not like anything you’ve ever seen. An enhanced humanoid.”
– Q, 2365 (“Q Who”)

Does Star Trek reveal a timeline for humanity that already exists? What if beyond our universe, in the higher dimensions, we are offered something different than what we know here, an existence without free will?

If there is no free will anywhere beyond this universal reality, called Nature, then, here, we experience something special, indeed. In truth, we may need the challenges we face through disease to discover what humanity is made of …. to move humanity forward in the direction of healing.

While here, we are each responsible for our own healing through the gift of choice. Each choice affects “the whole” because we are connected to everything through consciousness, i.e., Spirit. Here, we can each choose to believe what we want; to be good or bad, to be sick or healthy, to experience freedom or slavery, to live in a Universe or a Metaverse. We can choose to believe the Germ theory or the Terrain theory because we have free will.

We can live in a duality consciousness or a One consciousness.

We can agree to disagree.

The Monkeypox Story

The Monkeypox Story

by Rosanne Lindsay, Naturopath, Nature of Healing
May 27, 2022

 

Once upon a time…

….along came The Monkeypox virus!

Symptoms may include a desire to swing from tree to tree, to pick breakfast bugs off your mate, and to screech, yell, and generally monkey around. But seriously….

According to the Centers for Disease Creation (CDC), the agency that created at least eight Genus categories of Pox Diseases, Monkeypox is called a “rare disease.” However, Monkeypox cannot be considered “rare,” if the CDC also claims that Monkeypox is spreading.

Before anyone could say Monkeypox vaccine patent, the U.S. government swooped in to purchase over $100 million in vaccines to treat both Monkeypox and Smallpox.

After all, where there is a will, there is a vaccine patent!

In February 2021, patent application #20210260182 was filed for RECOMBINANT POXVIRUS BASED VACCINE AGAINST SARS-CoV-2 VIRUS. This is a combination pox/COVID vaccine patent filed over a year ago:

The terms “chimeric” or “engineered” or “modified” (e.g., chimeric poxvirus, engineered polypeptide, modified polypeptide, engineered nucleic acid, modified nucleic acid) or grammatical variations thereof are used interchangeably herein to refer to a non-native sequence that has been manipulated to have one or more changes relative a native sequence.

In some embodiments, the SARS-CoV-2 protein is inserted into the Thymidine Kinase (TK) locus (Gene ID HPXV095; positions 992077-92610; SEQ ID NO: 1) of the horsepox virus or the synthetic horsepox virus.

Then came the newly patented pox-combo Omicron vaccine. Of course, other labs are developing tests for Monkeypox virus. Get read for the temperature checks. You know the routine.

Chapter 2: Animalpox stories

The official story from the CDC is that “Monkeypox” was discovered in 1958 “when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research” … and injected with Smallpox.

Not too long ago, in 2018, the Horsepox virus had its heyday when researchers told the story of the”infectious virus” synthesized in a lab. Symptoms may include a desire to neigh, snort, and gallop with the herd. But seriously…  Horsepox was said to be the cousin of the Smallpox virus, which health authorities claimed had been eradicated from the planet in 1980. Why eradicate one “deadly” virus only to revive its cousin? What is the purpose of Franken-science?

The official answer was “to develop cancer treatments and vaccines,” especially since the current Smallpox vaccine (Variola) has some serious adverse side effects, including death. Note: nothing is ever said about curing cancer, only about “developing treatments and vaccines.” From the 2018 paper, Synthetic viruses—Anything new?:

…it comes as no surprise that it is possible to generate infectious viruses by using synthesized DNA fragments. The first synthetic virus, poliovirus, was produced by Wimmer and colleagues and made us aware of the fact that we entered a new era of reverse genetics that allows for the generation of synthetic viruses without the need for a nucleic acid template.

Chapter 3:  “A new era of reverse genetics”

Many scientific papers published since 2018 have questioned the wisdom of engineering viruses from deadly Smallpox, which they admit could lead to the reemergence of Smallpox, as well as to future pandemics. What if the lab-created monkey virus or the horse virus escaped into the wild? What then?

Previously, scientists had blamed monkeys, as well as other species, for the consequences of their genetic experiments: in monkeys (SV40); in pigs (Swine flu (H1N1)); in birds (Avian flu (H5N1) different from Chickenpox; and in insects (Zika mosquito borne virus).

Note: the same molecular signature, protein (PB1-F2), is present in both the 1918 Spanish flu virus and in the highly lethal h5N1 chicken viruses. Coincidence?

These synthesized varieties were not selected to become “epidemics,” only beta tests on behavioral dynamics; except for the Swine Flu Epidemic, which resulted in a mass vaccine campaign, and was subsequently repealed after widespread vaccine injuries and deaths [See my 2018 blog Beware the Horsepox Vaccine!].

With many stories in the media, it is important to know that there is something called The Species Barrier. Even in the Age of Ignorance, the Species Barrier still exists, and The UK Dictionary defines it as:

The natural mechanisms that prevent a virus or disease from spreading from one species to another.

In short, people cannot “catch” diseases from animals, birds, reptiles, insects, vegetables, or minerals. But, as long as people have short attention spans, and continue to be misled by the story, animals will continue to be wrongly blamed and punished for human-engineered, chimeric experiments.

Why create animalpox outbreaks that appear go viral?

The ultimate purpose of any “viral threat” is to roll out the “vaccine solution.” And what exactly is the reason to push an agenda of vaccines? To engineer consent to reengineer humanity for deeper control: Monkey see-Monkey do. Therefore, any true global “viral threat” is not complete without a patented, engineered, controllable, injectable chimeric virus, coming soon to a city near you.

Chapter 4: The Twist: Monkeypox rash

Back to the monkeys!

The media generates associations by first showing computer-generated images of microscopic cells that appear to be bacteria (not viruses). Then, they release images of raised blisters or a rash labelled as “Monkeypox.” Looking closer, any image labelled “Monkeypox” could double as  an image labelled Shingles.

Is there a relationship between the pox and the rash, or is it between the COVID vaccine/boosters and the rash?

Because the world complied so quickly to the illegal Coronavirus countermeasures, brought on by governments around the world, there is no need to wait years for the next epidemic! The “flying monkeys” are here to do the bidding of their creators.

Will Monkeypox parties be next?

What the WHO and CDC have not disclosed is that vaccine ingredients are widely known to cause rashes, often a full body rash. A vaccine-associated rash is a consequence of an influx of toxins to the body that results in a suppressed immune system. Frequent Strep Throat infections are another indication of a suppressed immune system. A.S.I.A is not a continent when it comes to vaccine damage. A.S.I.A is Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants, (ie, induced by toxins), where adjuvants are vaccine ingredients (eg. aluminum sulphate). Keep this in mind. Do your own research.

Prior to the COVID injections, a rash was not indicated as a symptom of “Coronavirus,” which is a family of cold/flu viruses. According to officials, Coronaviruses can produce runny nose, sore throat, headache, fever, cough, and a general feeling of being unwell. True viruses, those not engineered in a lab, cannot survive outside the cell, they cannot transmit an infection because they are not alive (like bacteria). In this way, viruses are exosomes, produced by the cell in response to a toxic exposure, to help to clean the cell to regain balance and health.

Exosome biogenesis is a mechanism of protein quality control, and once released, exosomes have activities as diverse as remodeling the extracellular matrix and transmitting signals and molecules to other cells. This pathway of intercellular vesicle traffic plays important roles in many aspects of human health and disease, including development, immunity, tissue homeostasis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Search “Exosome” on Pubmed and find more than 23,000 results. If we search results for “rash” from COVID injections more than a hundred studies are revealed. Search and find the same trend for Measles Vaccine-Associated Rash Illness, MMR Vaccine-Associated Rash Illness, and Shingrix for Herpes Vaccine. Just know that Shingles can result from the Shingles vaccine, just like COVID can result after the COVID vaccine, just like Measles rash and Mumps can result from the MMR vaccine.

Chapter 5: Contradiction and discrimination 

With so many contradictions in the story, did someone forget to edit?

The World Health Organization (WHO) claims the Monkeypox ‘outbreak’ is containable, while the CDC urges new recommendations based on only “3 possible cases” of rash in the U.S. Other countries are reporting their own rashes. Today, 19 countries are tracking and reporting Monkeypox numbers; similar to the Coronavirus protocol. Some countries are already urging people to self-isolate.

Is Monkeypox a runaway train before it got started?

More contradictions: some countries claim the pox spreads through respiratory droplets, while other reports claim the Monkeypox spreads through sex, with specific warnings that target gay and bisexual men. Which is it? The WHO writes:

While the virus itself is not a sexually transmitted infection, which are generally spread through semen and vaginal fluids, the most recent surge in cases appears to have been spread among men who have sex with other men, WHO officials said, emphasizing that anyone can contract monkeypox.

Is that science or science fiction? Are we back to HIV-AIDS? Did we ever leave it?

Was the HIV virus “discovered” in 1984 by Dr. Robert Gallo so he could develop a vaccine decades later when the world would be more receptive to injections?

Recall, in the 1980s, after the 1976 Swine flu Fiasco, vaccine hesitancy would have stopped people from accepting mass experimental vaccine campaigns. Without vaccine hesitancy, bring on the HIV injections that can be taken two months apart!

Any injection, vaccine or experimental, should be documented as safe before use. However, since 1986, vaccine makers have been off the hook for damages from their products. If vaccine makers do not stand behind their products why should anyone else?

Another contradiction: Neither HIV or Coronavirus has ever been isolated or proven to exist as a pathogen. However, according to the 2003 British Medical Journal, fragments of DNA identical to that of ‘HIV’ are found in all human beings. For more backstory on HIV-AIDS story, read the 2014 article, Questioning the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis: 30 years of dissent.

“The HIV/AIDS hypothesis is one hellof a mistake”- Kary Mullis, 1996, p. 14..– Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1993, inventor of PCR test.

With so many stories still unfinished, has Monkeypox arrived on the scene as a hoax? A test of humanity? Another virus that divides and discriminates against bi-sexual and gay men? What about the devastation of 500,000 deaths caused by the prescription Opioid Epidemic from 1999 to 2019 that continue? What about more than 150 people who die each year from taking the OTC, FDA-approved drug Tylenol?

Chapter 6: Nature rules

Nature has always ruled and Nature will continue to rule, but only if Nature’s Law is followed. Nature does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, politics, education, vaccine status, or sex. Only patented lab-created viruses do.

Just because the media stories report on a Monkeypox viral threat, does not mean that humans need fear monkeys or eradicate them, like they did when they agreed to put chickens into lockdown from Pennsylvania to France then exterminated them out of fear.

Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear freezes people’s ability to be reasonable and rational. Fear separates and isolates. Fear masks identity. Fear disconnects humans from Nature, from each other, and from themselves. Going forward, if choosing fear, refrain from making any decisions or they will be made for you.

Perhaps humans should fear only humans with a god-complex, those who would unleash a lab-created/patented monkeypox/Smallpox/Horsepox/SARS-CoV2 virus into the population via injection for the purpose of reverse genetics.

Forget the Horsepox and Monkeypox stories. Could humanity be looking at a re-deployment of the original Smallpox?

The end?

Vitamin C: The Unique Qualities and Synergies of Its Different Forms

Vitamin C: The Unique Qualities and Synergies of Its Different Forms

by Dr. Rath Health Foundation
Originally published May 1, 2019

 

Vitamin C is a vital nutrient for human health and survival. It is not only a powerful antioxidant and immune booster, it also supports collagen, connective tissue formation, and builds the extracellular matrix – the ‘glue’ that binds the body’s cells together. It is also important for faster wound healing and the prevention of various chronic conditions. Optimum amounts of vitamin C effectively protect the body and cardiovascular system against biological rusting.

Additionally, vitamin C has several other important functions. It is a cofactor for a series of biological enzymes that are important for the improved metabolism of cholesterol, triglycerides and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is also an important energy molecule needed to recharge energy carriers inside the cells. Vitamin C is essential for the production of carnitine, the molecule that carries fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. It participates in the biological recycling of vitamin E, glutathione, and many other cell-protective molecules. When taken together with calcium, it increases calcium absorption. Vitamin C also neutralizes various toxins in the body and protects healthy cells from harmful substances, including the effects of many pharmaceutical drugs.

As humans do not produce their own vitamin C it has to be obtained from food sources and dietary supplements. Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. These include ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, and others. However, the majority of vitamin C supplements on the market contain only a single form of vitamin C, usually ascorbic acid. Simple ascorbic acid is a water-soluble compound. Therefore, it does not remain in the body for very long and is easily excreted. Unless frequently replenished, it is difficult to obtain the benefits of vitamin C from ascorbic acid alone.

Mineral salts of ascorbic acid, such as calcium ascorbate and magnesium ascorbate, are easily absorbed and well metabolized by the body’s cells. Combining vitamin C with calcium or magnesium in this way neutralizes the acidic effect of ascorbic acid and contributes to a ‘buffering’ effect, thus making it gentler on the stomach lining.

Calcium is important for the proper contraction of muscle cells, including the heart muscle cells, and is required for the conduction of nerve impulses. This mineral is also essential for the hardening and stability of our bones and teeth. Magnesium is nature’s calcium antagonist; its benefit for the cardiovascular system is similar to that of prescription calcium channel-blocking drugs – except that magnesium is natural. Clinical studies have shown that magnesium is particularly important for helping to normalize high blood pressure and irregular heartbeat conditions.

There is a misconception that calcium ascorbate can increase the likelihood of kidney stones. However, the majority of kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate, which is present in foods such as soda, coffee, chocolate, spinach, and beets. Inadequate water intake is one of the major contributors to kidney stone formation. Well-controlled clinical studies have not been able to establish any strong correlation between supplemental vitamin C and increased kidney stones.

Another unique form of vitamin C is ascorbyl palmitate, a fat-soluble form of the nutrient. This form is better absorbed by the cells than ascorbic acid alone. Cell membranes enriched with ascorbyl palmitate are more resistant to oxidative damage, which means they are better protected against disease and aging. Ascorbyl palmitate is also an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger.

One of the advantages of taking a nutritional supplement that contains ascorbyl palmitate is that this form of vitamin C can reach areas of the body that ascorbic acid cannot. Moreover, its effects last for longer. A well-balanced vitamin C or multinutrient supplement should contain at least 25 percent of its vitamin C in the fat-soluble, ascorbyl palmitate form. However, most vitamin C supplements contain little or no ascorbyl palmitate. Optimum supplementation with a synergistically formulated vitamin C supplement can make all the difference in protecting your health!

Do You Have Low Iodine? The Link Between Iodine Deficiency & Cancer

Do You Have Low Iodine? The Link Between Iodine Deficiency & Cancer

by Ty & Charlene Bollinger, The Truth About Cancer
February 3, 2022

 

Iodine, a critical mineral in the prevention of cancer, has been used in one form or another for centuries. First as medicine (for everything from breast cancer to syphilis) and consumed in the form of seaweed, and eventually added to bread. Then, in 1948, iodine was suddenly thought of as dangerous and was removed from medical arsenals – as well as from our food in the 1970s.

Our politicians suggested that people could get trace amounts of iodine in iodized salt, but then two things happened. First, recommendations were made to reduce sodium intake, and second, few realized that the iodine in salt evaporates under certain conditions, such as moisture, storage, and exposure to oxygen. One study showed that among samples all lost iodine over the 12-month sampling period, many as much as 100%. The rate of iodate loss was influenced by the salt’s origin and composition, the packaging material, and the relative humidity during storage.1 Plus, when iodine is added to salt, including potassium iodide, it includes an anti-caking agent, which isn’t a particularly healthy option. Unrefined salt is made from seawater and contains many more minerals than iodized table salt, but not much iodine.

Iodine consumption is known for its connection to thyroid health. But it is less known that other tissues also require large amounts of iodine, namely the breasts, pancreas, stomach, brain, and thymus.

Iodine consumption has plummeted 50% since 1970 and has corresponded with a dramatic increase in breast and prostate cancers.2 Studies show that iodine deficiency is a worldwide epidemic, often affecting women of reproductive age which could not only increase their risk of cancer, but could cause complications during pregnancy and in fetal development. Iodine is essential for a successful healthy pregnancy, and insufficient iodine leads to miscarriages, reproductive failures, abnormal brain development, and congenital hypothyroidism.3

Ironically, just as iodine was removed from our bread, the iodine-blocking element, bromine, was added to flour. Bromine chemicals were then added not only to our bread and flour, but also to mattresses (as a fire retardant), clothing, and other consumer products.

The problem was exacerbated further as pesticides and food additives were increasingly allowed to be used in our food supply — chemicals that interfere with iodine absorption. It’s no wonder that almost everyone has low iodine today.

Iodine deficiency is, to some extent, an error of politics. However, it has become even more prevalent with the ever-increasing presence of xenoestrogens (chemical estrogens found in many personal and home care products and in air pollution) that not only poison the body, but contribute to hormone imbalance and estrogen dominance.

It’s clear to see how iodine has been practically eliminated from our cancer-prevention toolkit.

Iodine Deficiency and Cancer, a Closer Look

A deficiency of iodine has been found to influence the occurrence of many cancers. In Turkey (the country), gastric cancers are most common in areas where iodine deficiency is high. Increased iodine intake over the past several years has been strongly correlated with a reduction in stomach cancers.4

Researchers have attributed the low rate of breast cancer in Japan to high dietary iodine (and selenium). Breast cancer cells need iodine to facilitate cell death and suppress tumor growth.5

In 2008, Bernard A. Eskin, MD, explained how iodine actually alters gene expression in breast cancer cells, including the function of programmed cell death. Iodine was also found to decrease estrogen-responsive genes.6 Low iodine increases circulating estrogen levels, and given that estrogen inhibits iodine absorption, this is especially problematic. Iodine deficiency also makes breasts more susceptible to carcinogenic action, promoting the growth of tumors.

Max Gerson, MD, one of the most famous alternative cancer doctors, believed that iodine is essential for the treatment of cancer.7 Michael B. Schachter, MD, says,

Iodine may be needed in individualized doses to improve thyroid function, immune function, and the optimal functioning of all the cells in the body; several associated nutrients need to be given including vitamin C, selenium, magnesium, unrefined salt, and sufficient water; these help to prevent strong detoxification reactions as a result of the release of bromine from the tissues when iodine is given in milligram quantities. These higher milligram doses rather than microgram doses help to enhance anti-cancer functions in most if not all cancers, but certainly in cancers of the thyroid, breast, ovary, and prostate.”

Iodine has also been found to:

  • Alter gene expression in breast cancer cells and facilitate cell death.8
  • Be stronger than a chemotherapeutic agent widely used to treat human breast cancer.9
  • Reduce risk of stomach and breast cancer, and has been used in the remission of lung cancer.10
  • Support healthy immune function and regulate the stress hormone cortisol.11
How to Test for Low Iodine

The symptoms of iodine deficiency are varied and iodine testing is rarely part of a routine exam. But given the high rate of deficiency, testing can and should be requested.

Here are some possible iodine testing methods:

  • A random urine test ordered by a physician is a good place to start.
  • The iodine patch test refers to painting a two-inch square of tincture of iodine or Lugol’s Iodine on the body and watching to see how long the orange square takes to fade. However, this test is not considered to be overly reliable or conclusive, but can help to give a general idea as to whether someone may be deficient in iodine.
  • The gold standard is the 24 Hour Iodine Loading Test, which can be done with a doctor or via online testing at Hakala Labs and others.

You can get iodine from some foods, with seaweed being the highest source. However, there can be some dangers with seaweed due to contamination from polluted water or radioactivity from Fukushima. Iodine content varies in food, so be sure to work with your health practitioner to be sure you’re getting the right amount.

Kelp supplements are an option if you can get a clean sou

A Special Note If You Are on a Therapeutic Iodine Protocol

According to David Brownstein, MD, and other iodine researchers, those on a high-dose iodine protocol (12.5 mg – 50 mg/day) may need a daily companion dose of magnesium as high as 1200 mg, which would be best derived at least in part transdermally. Other companion nutrients (a name coined by Lynne Farrow, author of The Iodine Crisis) are selenium, vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, and unrefined salt such as Celtic sea salt, Himalayan, and Redmonds Real Salt. These nutrients will boost absorption and help prevent side effects from the protocol such as headaches and fatigue.

If you are considering adding iodine supplementation to your personal health regimen, it is always advised to consult with a qualified health practitioner who can guide you on dosages suitable for your body, health condition, and lifestyle.

The Sinister Connection Between Toxic Mold, Parasites & EMFs

The Sinister Connection Between Toxic Mold, Parasites & EMFs

by Rosanne Lindsay, Naturopath, Nature of Healing
February 3, 2022

 

A worldwide addiction to wireless technology – cell phones, computers, GPS, smart appliances, electric cars, smart watches, TVs – is activating the hidden world of yeast, fungus, mold, mycoplasma, Lyme spirochetes, and protozoan parasites in the human body. The outcome is a rise in chronic infections that are misdiagnosed as a number of disease conditions.

The industries responsible for creating this silent and sinister epidemic fail to take responsibility. Thus, the line between what will protect you, and what will not, has never been less clearly defined.

Symptoms from exposure to mold toxins 

Fatigue
Weakness
Muscle cramps
Headache and pain
Light sensitivity
Sinus problems
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Joint pain and stiffness
Cognitive issues
Mood dysregulation
Temperature regulation or dysregulation problems
Excessive thirst
Increased urination
Nervous system issues

Naturopath Dr. Klinghardt, of the Sophia Health Institute, shared an in vitro mold experiment comparing a mold plate shielded from electromagnetic fields to an unprotected mold plate exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields. The unprotected mold, mycoplasma, and spirochete (Lyme) reacts defensively by releasing more potent biotoxins, and by multiplying more than 600 times. This biological response can be observed anywhere in Nature; it is the desire to survive and thrive.  In 2011, the amount of cell phone radiation in a cubic inch of air was several million times higher than it had been a decade before that.



Billions of people worldwide harbor tropical worms and don’t know it. They don’t know that cell phones and cell towers trigger and aggravate them. They don’t know that mold, parasites, and other microbes, defend themselves to become chronic infections. The medical industry does not check for these infections, or rule them out, even though there are over one million worm species, alone, classified as helminths.

Helminths take many forms, but all of them harm their host in some way. In humans, they can live in the intestinal tract, urinary tract, bladder, or bloodstream, causing a variety of illness from malnutrition to organ failure” – Dr. Monica Botelho of Portugal’s National Institute of Health.

In endemic regions — predominantly sub-saharan Africa and Southeast Asia — flukes are responsible for the majority of all bladder and liver cancer cases. – Dr. Joachim Richter, Associate Professor at Charité Berlin and co-editor with Botelho.

Sleep — Poor sleep, insomnia, nightmares, night sweats, teeth grinding in sleep, anus itching at night.
Genitals —  Vaginal itching around the vulva, anal itching, rash, vaginal infections.
Overall health  — Unexplained weight loss or weight gain, nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, fever.

Parasites Among Us

Worms R us. When in balance, worms live with us in harmony  Out of balance, they can invade and overpower any part of the body, including the eyes. There are hundreds of large parasites that can enter the body by various modes, take up residence, and cause a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer. For worms to make a home in the body, the body must be conducive to their existence. The body is best suited for worms if it is depleted of essential minerals and nutrients, thus acidic.

Scientists have known for decades that helminths can turn healthy cells into diseased cells. The same is true of protozoan parasites. For instance, Chagas disease is caused by infection with the protozoan parasite T. cruzi.

It has long been established by study of Ascaris lumbricoides (phylum and species) in man as well as in laboratory hosts, that the larvae, on hatching in the small intestine, migrate through the liver to the lungs. On the eighth to ninth day after infestation, they move farther into the bronchii and then, via the trachea and esophagus, return to the intestine. It has also been shown that the larvae in their migration and development often cause extreme eosinophilia, symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough.
Naval Captain David P. Osborne, chief of surgery, Bethesda Naval Hospital 

A search of Pubmed will net hundreds of published, peer-reviewed studies describing Dirofilaria in humans, a mere drop in the worm bucket. Dirofilaria immitis is a canine parasite that can infect humans, specifically it is a roundworm, otherwise known as a nematode. For instance, whereas Dirofilaria immitis infects the heart and lungsDirofiaria repens infects the eye.

Patented Transgenic Insects

Dirofilaria, or heartworm, is transmitted by mosquitoes. An egg gets deposited through the proboscis, which is the long, flexible tube mosquitoes use to pierce the skin. There is plenty of evidence showing that mosquitoes are genetically engineered and patented.

These transgenic mosquitoes breed in the wild despite a kill-switch gene. The result is contamination of the natural mosquito population. Evidence from field trials show that GMO mosquitoes have been bred for disease resistance for decades. So why not expect the same for GMO tics and biting flies infected with agents known to transmit Lyme disease? The CDC acknowledges that Lyme disease from multiple vectors is on the rise in the US., but offers no explanation and no solutions.

Creating Cancer

Tumors analyzed for pathology often come back showing worms and parasites. Parasitic invasion by a nematode worm is often mistaken for cancer in women presenting with breast lumps.

Filarial infection of the breast is not rare, explain the authors. “The larvae enter the lymphatic vessels of the mammary gland, causing lymphangitis, fibrosis, and disruption of lymphatic drainage.” In late, inactive phases, the larvae appear on mammography as serpiginous calcifications.  – Medwire News, 2005

Slowly, the information worming its way out into the public is that parasitic infestations represent the internal conditions called “cancer.” All cancers are, in fact, parasitic infections (with high Candida levels) even if not all parasitic infections present as cancer. Worms cause cancer. based on an acidic tissue environment.

It is no secret that the American Cancer Society knows that parasites can lead to cancer. Even the CDC publishes the fact on their website  that cases or parasitic infections are misdiagnosed as cancer. So why are you always the last to know?

A Healing Protocol 

In the Age of Information, ignorance is a choice. Today, more people diagnosed with cancer have taken matters into their own hands and begun sharing information to heal. Their choice of medicine? An inexpensive pet dewormers/antihelminths called Fenbendazole found at the local pet store. Why don’t doctors tell patients that Fenbendazole is being studied as an anti-cancer drug?

According to sources promoting this anti-worm protocol, Fenbendazole is a triple-threat to cancer: it kills cancer cells in three ways which are significant:

  1. It destroys microtubules that sustain the structure of the cancer cell and its ability to divide and multiply rapidly.It interrupts the cancer cells’ ability to process sugar, and cancer cells must metabolize sugar to survive.
  2. It boosts the production of a cancer-killing gene called p53, a gene cancer patients may lack. When p53 becomes mutated or can’t keep cancer cells in check, cancer cells can proliferate.
  3. The de-wormer also works against parasites, which might be the origin of some cancers.

Before you decide to blame all cancers on worms, realize that helminths are also being used as Immunotherapy (Helminthic Therapy) for Crohn’s disease and for malignancies. In a strange twist of fate, the earthworm’s immune system have shown an ability to kill cancer cells (in vitro). Could it be that a worm’s metabolism depends on a balance of oxygen supply and demand like their human hosts? Yes, indeed.

Is that why oxygen deprivation from EMF fields harm both host and worm?

Add Pulsed EMFs And Mix

The forces in EMFs are caused by EMF radiation, broken down into two categories:

  1. High frequency EMF include: x-rays, gamma rays, or ionizing radiation, and
  2. Low to mid frequencies include: electric power lines, radio waves, cell phones, wireless networks, smart meters, TVs, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, or non-ionizing radiation. These are the most dangerous emission, known to cause direct damage to DNA or cells.

Wireless communication (cell towers, phones, etc) is more dangerous because it produces pulsed EMFs. Pulsed EMFs are much more biologically active than are non-pulsed EMFs.  When introducing pulsed electric and magnetic fields into a population infested with parasites and yeast, you have a recipe for dis-ease disaster.

Today, the answers are available to anyone who has a curiosity to search the internet database of scientific studies. Science has well established that EMF fields incite the growth of fungus, yeasts, molds, mycoplasmas, and parasites. Just as the chemicals and metal constituents of synthetic medications serve as a food source for these  pathogens, so too, does radioactivity serve as an energy source for making food and spurring the growth of them.

Since May of 2011, the IARC classification for cell phone radiation internationally had been officially documented as a Class 2B Carcinogen. See the Cell Phone Radiation Emissions Chart from Least to Greatest head SAR level.

BioToxins

If our microbes perceive radiation fields as an attack on their lives, then so should we. Humans are 1:10 human cells to microbes. What affects our smallest inhabitants also affects us. When our microbes perceive an attack from man-made frequencies, they release biotoxins in defense of their lives, even if it damages their host. Sit down before you watch this freakishly large worm (parasitic nematode) slither out of a dead spider host.

Biotoxins are released from microbial metabolism and die-off. This process drives inflammation in humans. As our microbes struggle to survive, they congest the host’s liver and impair digestion. The liver is unable to produce bile to digest fats which leads to a deficiency of fatty acids and eventually fatty liver disease, unrelated to alcohol.

Our microbes cause stress on the whole body, which leads to “Leaky Gut,” now an accepted term. Leaky Gut gave rise to the previously unknown field of neurogastroenterology, and the disorders of IBD, IBS, and Crohn’s disease. When the gut is “leaky,” microbes and their biotoxins leak into the bloodstream to infect other organs, including the brain, also known as “leaky brain.” In the brain, symptoms resemble depression, anxiety, and other neurological conditions.

Magnetic Fields 

Sleep is critical for cell repair and regeneration. When electrical and magnetic fields barrage the body day and night, the stress hormone cortisol is stimulated which prevents normal elimination (constipation) and detoxification. As cortisol rises, melatonin falls. Sleep is elusive.  Magnetic fields also alter the movement of minerals and metals the body. When iron is displaced, it leads to anemia.

In 2005, Extremely low frequencies (ELF) have been documented as a possible carcinogen in children diagnosed with leukemia. More than a decade later, ELF exposures have only increased.

I personally suspect that the exposure to electromagnetic fields in the home and the microwaves from cell phone radiation are driving the virulence of many of the microbes that are naturally in us, and makes them aggressive and illness producing. Shielding patients from EMFs has been a more successful strategy to treating Lyme disease and to get people neurologically well than any of the antibiotics or any of the antimicrobial compounds. ~Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD

NanoTechnology

The science of nanotechnology includes mRNA delivery systems that utilize nanometals such as graphene oxide, which is being tested as a carrier and adjuvant in vaccines. Graphene oxide is consumed as carbon nanomaterial when eating barbequed foods. The smoke or char from incomplete combustion contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are known carcinogens. You can simply scrape them off your food to reduce your risk. However, graphene oxide synthesized in a lab becomes silicon-based nanometal technology. If injected into the body, this form has the capability to absorb radiation and convert signals from gigahertz to terahertz, thousands of times higher than those created by silicon. The European Union research group called EUCALL states:

What makes this feat possible is the highly efficient non-linear interaction between light and matter that occurs in graphene. The researchers used graphene containing a large number of free electrons that originated from the interaction between graphene and the substrate onto which it was deposited. When these electrons became excited by an oscillating electric field in room-temperature conditions, they rapidly shared their energy with bound electrons in the material.

Solutions

1. EMF Shielding Tools

With the rise of EMF fields a new EMF shielding industry was born. Now you can use the benefits of wireless technology and shield yourself from is health depleting effects using the following tools:

  • purchase or make faraday cages for cell phones.
  • hardwire your computers with an Ethernet cable.
  • Shield smart meters with meter guards.
  • Wear Shungite, a mineraloid, or place shungite pyramids around the house. Since they become saturated. you will need to cleanse these stones often.
  • Paint bedrooms with EMF shielding paint.
  • Use EMF shielding material. Do not use aluminum foil which can shield and also reflect back EMFs.
  • Hardwire a cell phone.
  • Blue light blockers:
  • Use a blue light blocker covering for all your computer/laptop/tablet screens including cell phones.
  • Use blue blocking glasses when you are working on the computer (this does not protect skin.). Some people will use a blue light blocker (a thin film that covers the screen) and then also a 100% blue blocker of hard thick plastic at night. However be aware that many of the thinner unnoticable blue light coverings on the market do not protect 100% blue light.
  • Download a program (e.g.., Iris) onto your device that will automatically reduce blue light at night.

2. Natural Mold and Parasite Detox

First of all, know the symptoms of mold poisoning and parasitic infections. Secondly, prevent infections of mold, yeast, and parasites, by keeping your immune system strong and allowing it to work for you by acquiring natural infections.  Eat clean, organic foods. Drink clean water, and avoid drinking city water, espeically if the water tower has 5G technology on top of it. Seek out natural spring water. Avoid factor-farmed foods, such as sugar and processed grains, coffee and red meat, which generate an acidic pH in the body. Choose natural medicines vs. synthetic medicines. Seek out natural healers to assist. And be aware of parasitic relationships among your peers. As within so without.

If you have a parasitic infection, try adding food grade diatomaceous earth. There are two strong herbs that can kill nematodes. The most famous one is Thyme. Thyme is a culinary herb, but it also kills hook-worms, roundworms, threadworms, skin parasites and several types of harmful bacteria. Other natural antifungal/antiparasitic herbs include: Black walnut hulls, high in iodine; wormwood, clove oil, oregano oil,  and consider a cleanse diet. For other remedies, consult a natural health care practitioner.

When the worm population in the human body overwhelms the immune system, it is called a hyperinfection. At this stage, it may be difficult to kill the worms with herbs unless you eat clean. Using frequencies to target parasites through a Rife machine or homeopathic (energy) preparations can directly target parasites in the body, gently and safely. However, the Rife machine does not always solve the problem since parasites can shift their frequency and hide in the body to evade death. A diet and lifestyle change will be necessary by changing your habits to prevent the problems of living in the brave new world.

Black Seed Oil: Ancient Remedy with Modern Benefits

by Natural Pulse

 

With a documented history of use dating back to the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, Nigella sativa (commonly referred to as black seed or black cumin seed) has tremendous historical significance and therapeutic potential. Mentioned in the Old Testament and in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, black cumin seed oil has been used so broadly across the Middle East and Asia that it is considered almost as a panacea for all conditions. Researchers in the last few decades have begun to investigate the potential health benefits of this “miracle herb” and have found that many of the traditional uses of the herb are being corroborated.

The herb contains several active constituents that have been identified, some of the more well-known being thymoquinone and nigellone. Studies looking at the mechanism of action of the active compounds have shown that they possess powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities and play a role in directly modulating immune function. Furthermore, several studies have shown that black seed oil benefits allergies; researchers found that thymoquinone has anti-allergic properties through potent antihistamine effects, preventing its release from immune cell membranes. Additional research shows that black cumin seed oil for lung health has a profound bronchodilation effect (relaxation of the smooth muscle tissue lining the airways of the lungs), ensuring clear, relaxed airways for easy breathing and help with relieving coughing.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity

Recent investigations show several beneficial effects of black seed oil for inflammation. One of the major active compounds in black seed is thymoquinone. Several research studies show that thymoquinone can suppress the production of inflammatory mediators as well as oxidative stress. In immune cell studies, thymoquinone was found to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and its byproducts, thereby signifying a strong anti-inflammatory effect. While 5-LOX is a key enzyme promoter of inflammation and inhibition of 5-LOX is an essential target of several anti-inflammatory therapies, the downstream effects of reducing 5-LOX activity by black seed oil also caused a reduction in the production of eicosanoids, additional chemical messengers of the inflammation response.

Additional studies in white blood cells of the immune system found that the administration of black seed extracts reduced the production of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and byproducts, supporting the ability of black seed oil to provide comprehensive inflammation support across multiple key pathways.

The anti-inflammatory effects of black seed are also supported by the results of human clinical studies. In one study, participants suffering from joint health issues who supplemented with a black seed preparation for one month showed lowered levels of pro-inflammatory white blood cells, improved joint function, and a reduction of joint swelling and stiffness versus placebo. These effects indicate a potent reduction of inflammation with black seed supplementation.

Moreover, research studies suggest that black seed extracts can have a direct impact on normalizing inflammation in the lungs. In an animal study on allergic asthma, black seed administration reduced lung inflammation and peripheral blood eosinophil count.

Immune enhancement

Black seed oil exerts powerful effects for supporting the immune system. Nigella sativa extracts are known to support both arms of the immune system by promoting strong innate and adaptive immunity. In a clinical study, the administration of black seed powder for 4 weeks led to significant improvements in immune function. The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T cells significantly improved and an increase in natural killer cell function was also noted.

In animals whose immunity was experimentally suppressed, feeding them black seed in an oil form was found to restore immune function back to normal levels. A further study in animals whose immune systems were chemically compromised showed that black seed oil administration decreased antibody responses (Immunoglobulin A, Immunoglobulin M) and the levels of complement C3, supporting an immune regulatory role of the extract.

Anti-Allergy and Bronchodilation

Black cumin seed and its constituents act as potent inhibitors of histamine and as smooth muscle relaxants, which makes it well-suited for acute and chronic lung and sinus conditions. As histamine is a key trigger for allergy symptoms, research on the black seed constituent nigellone has found that it has excellent antihistamine effects in small concentrations. Nigellone interacts with immune cells to prevent release of histamine by working as a calcium channel blocker. As histamine release involves calcium channels, preventing calcium uptake into cells reduces histamine release, resulting in inhibition of allergic reactions.

Black seed also acts as a muscle relaxant, which makes it an effective bronchodilator, allowing airways to relax and stay open in lung conditions including asthma and others. Thymoquinone has shown bronchodilator effects in at least 6 separate studies, while a randomized controlled trial in individuals with asthma showed that even a single dose of black seed extract led to a short-term bronchodilation effect.

These core properties are likely responsible for the beneficial effects of black cumin seen in recent clinical studies. These trials reveal that the herb has significant potential in treating lung and sinus conditions. Some of the more well-studied benefits of black cumin for allergic rhinitis and asthma are highlighted below:

  • Allergic rhinitis: A condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal sinuses secondary to seasonal or year-round allergen exposure, several human studies have found that black cumin seeds are useful for its treatment and prevention. Symptomatic improvement with black cumin seed included reductions in red, watery eyes, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itching. This is likely because of black cumin’s antihistamine and anti-inflammatory actions.
  • Asthma: Supplementing asthma sufferers with black cumin seeds has been evaluated in multiple trials. Individuals taking black cumin seed extracts showed improvement in the clinical symptoms associated with asthma as well as in lung function tests. In addition, bronchodilator effects (keeping airways open) were also seen in some studies, leading to improved ability to breathe effortlessly. Other investigators noted reduced inflammation in the lungs as well as improvements in forced expiratory volume (FEV1), a measure of the ability to breathe out with ease.

Since effective therapeutic options for these allergic conditions are often limited or are rife with potential side effects, supplementing with black cumin seed could provide an additional tool for those looking to support lung and sinus health during the spring and fall when symptoms are exacerbated or year-round for prevention. Used alone or with other conventional and natural approaches, black cumin seed could be a useful option to reduce the allergic aspects associated with these health conditions and improve breathing and lung function.

Why Use Baking Soda for Fungus Infections

Source: Dr. Sircus

by Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD
April 15, 2019

A hushed panic is playing out in hospitals around the world as a deadly fungus is spreading killing a lot of people. Individual institutions, national, state and local governments have been reluctant to publicize outbreaks of this drug resistant infection, arguing there is no point in scaring patients — or prospective ones, meaning they do not want to scare patients away from going to hospitals. Officials are still scrambling to keep a lid on it as the infection is spreading around the globe, yet with the Measles, a dramatically less dangerous disease, they are getting hysterical.

Dr. Johanna Rhodes, an infectious disease expert at Imperial College London said “We are driving this with the use of anti-fungicides on crops and we have no idea where it’s coming from. We’ve never heard of it. It’s just spread like wildfire.”

Thanks to the over-prescription of antimicrobial drugs had also laid the groundwork for this relatively new germ that preys on people with weakened immune systems according to the New York Times. The infection – a fungus known as Candida Auris, kills almost half of all patients who contract it within 90 days, according to the CDC – as it’s impervious to most major anti-fungal medications. First described in 2009 after a 70-year-old Japanese woman showed up at a Tokyo hospital with C. Auris in her ear canal, the aggressive yeast infection has spread across Asia and Europe – arriving in the US by 2016

Many of these patients do not need to die but it seems like doctors, hospitals and medical institutions would rather them perish than admit that sodium bicarbonate is the best anti-fungal for this and other fungal infections. Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has significant anti-fungal effects. Laboratory studies show that baking soda is effective against most fungal species. Bicarbonate inhibited the growth of 80 percent of fungal isolates tested in one study. Many studies have shown that sodium bicarbonate at high concentrations has an antimicrobial effect over several microorganisms isolated from the oral cavity, including Candida albicans.

Some think that baking soda is the most potent anti-fungal substance there is because of its ability to rapidly change the Candida colonies’ pH from acid to alkaline, which  effectively kills off the yeast before it has time to adapt to new environments. The problem with anti-fungal drugs, is that fungi are extremely adaptive, and can accommodate themselves to a new environment in three to four days. This renders anti-fungal drugs largely ineffective. The fungi do not adapt to the baking soda.

“It is a creature from the black lagoon,” said the CDC’s Dr. Tom Chiller, who heads the fungal branch. “It bubbled up and now it is everywhere.” In the last five years alone, it it has swept through a hospital in Spain, hit a neonatal unit in Venezuela, spread throughout India, Pakistan and South Africa, and forced a prestigious British medical center to close its ICU for nearly two weeks.

Simply put, fungi are evolving defenses to resist and survive modern medications. “It’s an enormous problem,” said Imperial College of London fungal epidemiology professor Matthew Fisher, who co-authored a recent scientific review on the rise of resistant fungi. “We depend on being able to treat those patients with anti-fungal medications,” that are no longer working for this infection.

Science Daily said, “Infectious diseases are the world’s number-one cause of death, with pathogenic fungi being responsible for extremely dangerous infections. Worldwide, more than €6 billion are spent each year on anti-fungal medications, and the total costs of the medical treatment of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic fungi are estimated in the order of hundreds of billions of Euros.”

Fungus, Tuberculosis and Cancer

Dr. Luke Curtis is reporting on research that deals with 27 lung “cancer” patients who were later diagnosed with lung “fungus” instead of lung cancer. “Fungal infection can present with clinical and radiological features that are indistinguishable from thoracic malignancy, such as lung nodules or masses.” Doctors who diagnose lung cancer are unaware of the fact that cancer mimics fungal infections. Over one million people worldwide are misdiagnosed with tuberculosis when in reality they have an incurable disease with a similar outlook to many cancers, says a recent report published in 2011 in the Bulletin of the WHO.

The disease called “chronic pulmonary aspergillosis” (CPA) is a fungal infection not a bacterial infection. It looks very much like, or identical to TB when doctors look at it on a chest X-ray. Fungal infections kill at least 1,350,000 patients with, cancer, TB, asthma, or following AIDS; as well as causing untold misery and blindness to tens of millions more worldwide. Yet, like a Trojan horse its symptoms are mostly hidden, and occur as a consequence of other health problems.

Fungal disease is like the Trojan horse that threatens the world as deaths reach approximately 150 people per hour. Doctors need to wake up to the plight of millions people worldwide who suffer and die every year from fungal disease. Fungal disease is worldwide catastrophe that is growing year on year and now with this new anti-fungal resistant strain more deaths can be anticipated.

Conclusion

There is no hiding the fact that baking soda, the same stuff that can save a person’s life in the emergency room in a heartbeat, is a primary safe and effective fungal treatment. In 2014 GAFFI– ‘The global action fund for fungal infections’ called on all policy makers and health agencies to wake up to the plight of more than 300 million people worldwide who suffer and die every year from fungal disease. So why do doctors not prescribe sodium or potassium bicarbonate?

Though it  kills yeast and other infections quite quickly, its main function is to increase CO2 and oxygen levels, which are not conducive to cancer, tumor growth or fungus infections.

 




Iodine Supplements and Dosages

Iodine Supplements and Dosages

by Dr. Mark Sircus
March 27, 2017

 

Iodine is necessary for the proper function of many of the body’s tissues including the breasts, pancreas, brain, stomach, adrenal glands, skin, salivary glands, and cerebral spinal fluid. Iodine deficiency can lead to a dysfunction of these tissues and cause symptoms such as dry mouth, dry skin, reduced alertness, brain fog, fibromyalgia, fibrocystic breasts, and many others. Some studies have shown that iodine deficiency leads to a higher risk of developing various cancers, especially of the breast, prostate, and ovaries. Do not wait for any of these symptoms to arrive, everyone today will benefit from higher iodine intake.

Humans tolerate large doses of iodine. The ultra-high doses that were used a century ago are helpful in medical emergencies—specifically when facing antibiotic resistant infections, viruses and stubborn fungal and yeast infections.

Iodine’s true role—making up more than 1/2 of the body’s Immune System—is not well understood. Deficiencies in iodine have a great effect on the immune system and its response to infectious diseases including cancer, which in many cases, up to 40 percent, are caused by infections.

The National Health and Nutrition Survey undertaken by the CDC showed iodine levels falling over 50% in the last 30 years. In 1940, the average American got 800 micrograms of iodine in their diet. In 1995 we averaged 135 micrograms, an 83% decline!

The Japanese consume 89 times more iodine then Americans, due to their daily consumption of sea vegetables, and they have reduced rates of many chronic diseases, including the lowest rates of cancer in the world. Why is your oncologist so ignorant, why does your government not inform you, why do medical organizations and the medical press promote everything but iodine for the treatment and prevention of cancer?

Even at low dosages, iodine is a powerhouse. So effective is iodine that aerosols can be effective in sterilizing a room at levels not even detectable by humans. However, Dr. David Derry says, “Dietary iodine found in iodized salt is below the amounts needed to fill mucus defense roles. To protect themselves, people wishing to boost their defense against infections should use Iodine supplement in their diets. Why would people need the larger doses of iodine? Why have iodine levels fallen 50% in the last 30 years? As I pondered these questions, I came to the conclusion that the toxicity of modern life must be impacting iodine levels. It is well known that the toxic halides, fluoride and bromide, having a similar structure as iodine, can competitively inhibit iodine absorption and binding in the body. Because of the elevated levels of toxic halides in the environment and in the food supply, iodine levels have not only fallen but larger amounts of iodine are necessary to correct iodine deficiency as well as to promote a detoxifying effect of heavy metals.”

When treating life-threatening diseases we do not have months to fool around with low dosages. The anti-microbial process of iodine quickly kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and various other microorganisms if a high enough dosage is used. We need to dial up iodine levels quickly when we use it to fight infections. Iodine can be taken internally in large quantities and will have the same effect internally as it does on external surfaces. In addition, as in breast cancer, we often need to get it concentrated to certain tissues or organs and we do that by painting the breasts with iodine.

Just to give you an idea of how high iodine dosages have been taken to in the past we have to revisit the 1930s when iodine was still a universal medicine, present in the US Pharmacopeia and was used at much higher dosages than anyone even dreams of using today. The usual dose for treatment was 300 mgs (46 drops of full strength Lugol’s) to 1 gm (1000 mg, 154 drops).

“Extremely high doses of iodine can have serious side effects, but only a small fraction of such extreme doses are necessary to kill influenza viruses,” continues Derry who tells us, “In 1945, a breakthrough occurred when J.D. Stone and Sir McFarland Burnet (who later went on to win a Nobel Prize for his Clonal Selection Theory) exposed mice to lethal effects of influenza viral mists. The lethal disease was prevented by putting iodine solution on mice snouts just prior to placing them in chambers containing influenza viruses.”

Dr. David Brownstein says, “Of all the elements known so far to be essential for human health, iodine is the most misunderstood and the most feared. Yet, iodine is the safest of all the essential trace elements, being the only one that can be administered safely for long periods of time to large numbers of patients in daily amounts as high as 100,000 times the RDA.” The current US daily recommended allowance (RDA) for iodine is set at 150 mcg for non-pregnant adults.

Dr. Michael B. Schachter says, “The treatment dose when a person is iodine insufficient is generally between 12.5 mg and 50 mg daily. Preliminary research indicates that if a person is iodine insufficient, it takes about three months to become iodine sufficient while ingesting a dosage of 50 mg of iodine daily and a year to achieve that while ingesting a dosage of 12.5 mg of iodine daily.

For those who are interested in maintained dosages after disease and deficiencies have been dealt with understand that your thyroid gland alone needs about 6 mg of iodine per day for optimal function; the breasts of a woman will need approximately 5 mg/day (women with larger breasts need more); and other body tissues such as your adrenal glands, thymus, ovaries, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland need about 2 mg/day. Thus for optimal wellness adults should consider approximately10 to 12 mg/day.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens wrote, “Recently Dr. Mercola surprisingly stated that the highest amount of daily iodine intake should be no more than 400 micrograms. This is only slightly higher than the FDA recommendation, which is 150-290 micrograms daily, dependent upon age, gender and life cycle. However, it is dramatically less than what some of the leading iodine medical experts suggest, as closer to, at least, 12-18 milligrams daily, approximately 45 times higher. Why this discrepancy? And how can Dr. Mercola, who is often so correct in his understanding, in my opinion, miss the mark exponentially?”

Cousens states, “Historically, as early as 1911, (11th edition of the 1910-1911 Encyclopedia Britannica) people normally took between 300,000-900,000 micrograms daily without incident. This is over 2,000 times more than Dr. Mercola’s recommendation. How is it that now only 1/5,000th of this dose is now considered safe? In 1948, there was a poorly performed and, since then, never replicated study alleging what is known as the Wolff-Chaikoff effect. The Wolff-Chaikoff effect suggested that theoretically hypothyroidism could occur as a result of excess iodine. This study indicated a decreased dosage to 2 milligrams daily would be safer. (This is still an amount 5 times higher than what Dr. Mercola is recommending.) Even the Food and Nutritional Board at the Institute of Medicine has set the tolerable upper limit of 1,100 micrograms of iodine daily (3 times higher than Dr. Mercola’s recommendation). Other researchers have used between 3,000 and 6,000 micrograms/day to prevent goiter (14 times higher than Dr. Mercola’s recommendation). Iodine is found in every single one of our body’s hundred trillion cells. Without adequate iodine levels life is impossible. Iodine is the universal health nutrient and brings health on many levels.”

One of my neighbors, who had cancer, visited the Gerson Clinic in Mexico and came back with a protocol suggesting one drop of Lugol’s a day. I of course have him taking much more. When I take, I do not count the drops. Easier and more efficient to just use a dropper or two though there are iodine sensitive people who need to be extremely cautious about dosages especially when just starting iodine supplementation.

Dr. David Brownstein said, “After testing individuals and finding low iodine levels, I began to use smaller milligram amounts of iodine/iodide (6.25 mg/day). Upon retesting these individuals 1-2 months later, little progress was made. I therefore began using higher milligram doses (6.25-50 mg) to increase the serum levels of iodine. It was only with these higher doses that I began to see clinical improvement as well as positive changes in the laboratory tests.” Brownstein has sometimes used between 200 and 300 milligrams of iodine daily, with higher doses for more serious and difficult diseases.

“At 6 grams daily (which is 6 million micrograms/day or 6,000 milligrams/day!), a much higher dose, iodine has been used to cure syphilis, skin lesions, and chronic lung disease,” says Cousens. “From a larger physiological perspective, it is important to realize that the thyroid is only one gland of many glands and tissues that needs iodine. Other glands/organs/systems with high iodine uptake are the breasts, ovaries, cervix, blood, lymph, bones, gastric mucosal, salivary, adrenal, prostate, colon, thymus, lungs, bladder, kidney, and skin. Iodine is found and used in every hormonal receptor in the body.”

Dr. George Flechas has found that iodine can reduce the need for insulin in diabetic patients, using 50 to 100 mg of iodine per day. Of 12 patients, 6 were able to completely come off their medications with random glucose readings below 100 mg/dl and a HbA1c less than 5.8 (normal), and the other 6 were able to reduce the amount and/or number of medications needed to control their diabetes.

Dr. Hulda Clark said, “Six drops of Lugol’s solution can end it all for Salmonella. If you have gas and bloating, pour yourself 1/2 glass of water. Add 6 drops of Lugol’s (not more, not less), stir with wood or plastic, and drink all at once. The action is noticeable in an hour. Take this dose 4 times a day, after meals and at bedtime, for 3 days in a row, then as needed. This eradicates even a stubborn case of Salmonella. Notice how calming 6 drops of Lugol’s can be, soothing a manic stage and bringing a peaceful state where anxiety ruled before.”

Retired biochemist and toxicologist Walter Last has this to say about Lugol’s:

“Lugol’s solution is an internal iodine solution designed to eliminate Candida and possibly viruses and other microbes from the bloodstream. Take a test drop in liquid other then just water to make it taste less strong. If this does not cause an allergic reaction, continue to take 4 x 6 drops daily in liquid or mixed with food, but not together with vitamins A, C, E, grape seed extract or cysteine. Iodine is an oxidant and it is best to reduce the intake of antioxidants while using it.”

“If the blood was contaminated, then you may initially experience a die-off reaction of the Candida, causing weakness and possibly headache or nausea. If this happens cut temporarily back on the amount of Lugol’s solution and drink plenty of water and diluted teas or juices. Continue for 3 weeks, but interrupt if you develop a serious reaction. Do not take the iodine for more than 3 weeks at high dosages as that interferes with thyroid activity. If necessary repeat the course after several months.”

Gradual Dose Buildup

Many people will find that it is important to build up gradually in order to experience the least amount of detoxification reaction from taking iodine. It is best when using strong chelators, which iodine is, to moderate the amount of detoxification symptoms or what is called the Herxemeirs reaction, which is the experience of poisons being dumped into the blood stream from the cells or from large-scale yeast die offs. This is most readily controlled with iodine in the Nascent atomic form simply because it is so easy to control and regulate low dosages.

Iodine sensitive and thyroid compromised patients should read Dr. David Brownstein’s works on iodine and thyroid conditions. Many people are already severely thyroid compromised and are on drugs that complicate things.

Supplementing with iodine can replenish your iodine stores while flushing out poisons. People usually do not experience the negative effects of some type of detoxification when using iodine unless they are removing unusually high levels of bromide and fluoride. Most people actually notice increased energy, better sleep, and mental clarity. Over the last 30 years, our iodine intake has declined 50%, while the ingestion of toxic competing halogens (bromine, fluorine, chlorine, and perchlorate) has dramatically increased.

Iodine Products

These are the two iodine products I use and recommend. The Nascent Iodine is better for iodine sensitive individuals and for children where lower dosages are needed and recommended. Lugol’s is less expensive and better for transdermal applications as well as higher oral dosages. When I take iodine orally, I also drop in a good amount of an exceptionally strong liquid selenium into the glass because even a small amount of selenium reduces the chances of dying of cancer by almost fifty percent. There are other products in solid form but have never used or recommended them.

Bottom Line

Without iodine to control infection, surgery and hospitals in general become inherently more dangerous. For that matter, in the future, without iodine, no one would go into a hospital unless they absolutely had to because of all the germs on floors and other surfaces and floating around in the air and nothing the doctors will give in terms of antibiotics will help because they have already created so many antibiotic resistant strains of pathogens

The last thing we need to be afraid of is iodine used in high enough dosages to take down infections that are life-threatening. Do not be shy about administering high dosages unless it is the first administration of iodine to a thyroid-compromised patient. That said, if there is time, always start out with low dosages. It is like putting your toe in hot water to see if you can get safely into the tub. Check out your sensitivity to iodine if you are a first time user.

Iodine, Thyroid and Low Body Temperature

Iodine, Thyroid and Low Body Temperature

by Dr. Mark Sircus
August 2, 2017

 

Who will benefit from taking iodine? Actually, the answer is just about everyone will benefit from more iodine. Did you know that over 30% of the US has thyroid problems and that is probably a huge underestimate considering how iodine deficient the population is in the United States and around the world.

Chronic fatigue, low body temperature, weight gain, dry skin and hair, constipation, heavy menstrual periods, thin or hairless lateral eyebrows, depression, even bipolar disease (2/3 of all bipolar patients become normal with correction to normal thyroid activity)—all of these are symptoms of low thyroid activity.

The best method to diagnose the condition of your thyroid is not a blood test, but is to take your temperature. Just take your oral temperature a few times daily. If your temperature is not 98.6, but instead runs lower, then the latest thyroid research says that your thyroid needs treatment. Unfortunately, doctors often overlook low body temperature as a serious sign of disease.

Iodine is the agent, which arouses (kindles) and keeps going the
flame of life. With the aid of our thyroid, in which the iodine is
manifesting, it can either damp this flame or kindle it to a dissolute fire.
Scholz 1990.

Iodine is the primary treatment for thyroid conditions. It is as the coal shoveled into the engines of a might ship. Iodine lights the fire, not only of the thyroid, but also through the function of thyroid hormones, the fires of every cell in the body.

When the body does not have enough energy to function properly, many things begin to go wrong. For example, if the brain has too little energy, thought processes such as memory and focus become impaired. The body needs energy to keep itself warm – a low body temperature, therefore, usually accompanies low metabolic energy.

The primary symptoms of under-active thyroid functions include cold hands and feet (low body temperature), fatigue, underweight or overweight, constipation, fuzzy thinking, dry skin, low blood pressure, fluid retention, depression, and slow reflexes. When using high-dose iodine supplements then watch out for signs of over-active thyroid functions. These include anxiety, insomnia, rapid weight loss, diarrhea, high pulse rate, high blood pressure, sensitivity or bulging eye and vision disturbances.

Temperature is an indicator of the amount of heat contained in a system and our temperature is an extension of basic body metabolism. Heat is a form of energy and every reaction in a human body occurs at a certain energy or temperature level thus tracking with cell voltage and pH and oxygen levels.

The core body temperature of a human body is an important factor, which is always why it should be considered while evaluating the health condition in a checkup. Normal core temperatures are at the exact temperature at which all the functions of the human body can operate with optimal efficiency. The same can be said about pH because all physiological processes are pH sensitive. The same can be said about oxygen levels and thus the quality of our breathing, something we do correctly or not 24/7.

Normally the rectal temperature or vaginal temperature is considered as the core temperature. The ideal core temperature is considered to be around 98.6° Degree Fahrenheit or 37° degree Celsius. However, this temperature is an average body temperature because the overall normal temperature varies from a minimum of 97.7° Fahrenheit (36.5° Celsius) to a maximum of almost 99.5° Fahrenheit (37.5° Celsius). Any temperature above or below this range is abnormal. Actually, the best time and way of establishing one’s basal body temperature is to take it first thing in the morning before getting out of bed.

Dr. David Jernigan says, “Much emphasis in conventional medicine is usually placed upon feverish conditions; however, a low body temperature can be a much more sinister condition. Where a fever can be viewed as an active developmental and corrective process of the healthy body, a low body temperature can never be viewed as a normal or healthy condition, nor is it a mechanism for a learning or developmental process in the body. The colder a body becomes, the slower the electrical oscillatory rate and therefore the thicker, more viscous, or syrupy the body fluids become. The more viscous the fluids become the more difficult it is for the body to push the fluids through the body. The lymph fluids that are normally supposed to bathe the outsides of all of your cells become progressively stagnant as it is too thick to move efficiently.”

The colder we get the happier viruses, bacteria and fungus are. Cancer loves cold conditions and dies when things get too hot. The problem with clearing cancer cells, which are always occurring somewhere in the body, even under normal conditions, is that there is no effective immune response when we are too cold. In general, when we are iodine and thyroid deficient it is hard for the body to generate a fever so chronic infections go undetected and cancer goes forward until we are in a desperate condition.

Extreme cold is a dangerous situation that can bring on health emergencies in susceptible people. Cold is a known source of disease and death. Chinese medicine for thousands of years recognized cold as a principle cause of disease. Cold can be either an internal condition due to iodine deficiency and thyroid dysfunction or it can be exposure to cold. Either way it is important to understand and treat cold body conditions.

The easiest, safest and most effective way of treating most disease, including cancer, is to increase body temperature with infrared therapy and to supplement with plenty of iodine. Both are foundational treatments, which have profound ramifications for thyroid sufferers, patients with adrenal issues and even for people with restless leg syndrome. Doctors waste a lot of their time and patients money administering other treatments, which cannot work as long as core body temperature is not raised.

98,6° F is the ideal body temperature for optimal health. That temperature is the guarantor for good blood circulation and is the mainstay for vitality and strong immune system strength. Low temperatures between 94.1°- 96,8° F is common with most patients with chronic illnesses. It is not too difficult to deduct that a cold person is an ill person.

Cancer tumors grow faster when the body temperature is low. Germany’s bestselling author Uwe Karstädt new book 98,6° F – Ideal Body temperature for Optimal Health offers a wealth of knowledge and a cut through method of maintaining health or returning to it once we have succumbed to low body temperature and chronic disease. According to the author, low temperature is a plague of the 21st century.

“Coldness in the body is much more than a bothersome and inconvenient symptom. Coldness makes us sick. This coldness, which causes such enormous discomfort in the majority of my patients, is not a trivial matter. A sufficient body temperature is more than just a cozy and pleasant feeling. Proper body heat is one of the fundamental pillars of good health. Warmth within the body is like the sun for our life here on earth. 98.6° is an indication of vibrant health, strength and vitality. We are “hot,” full of glowing love when we reproduce; the Grim Reaper, however, takes our life from us with an icy hand. The summer of life is warm and vibrant while winter silences life, burying it under snow and ice,” writes Karstädt.

When we look at the fact that lower body temperature decreases enzyme activity, we can appreciate how important it is medically speaking to maintain optimal body heat. “Give me fever and I can cure every disease,” said Hippocrates 2,500 years ago.

Raising the body temperature is synonymous with an increased immune response. Professor Abo from Japan confirmed a 40% improvement in the function of the immune system by raising the body temperature by only 1.8° Fahrenheit.

Iodine Replaces Vaccines and Antibiotics

Iodine Replaces Vaccines and Antibiotics

by Dr. Mark Sircus
May 4, 2017
republished 9/26/2023

 

This is going to be the final chapter in the second edition of my iodine book. After reading everything about iodine, we need to take a final leap to understand how important iodine is and how much pain and suffering has occurred when modern medicine substituted vaccines and antibiotics for iodine. Today the need for something safer, more effective and life serving than vaccines and antibiotics has become imperative.

Though it kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds its use as an antibiotic has been ignored.

Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many “viruses”; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, “viruses” and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.

Poor immune response is correlated with impaired thyroid function; a deficiency in iodine can greatly affect the immune system because low levels of iodine lead to problems with the thyroid gland.[1] Dr. David Brownstein says, “Iodine has a wonderful antibiotic solution without question and most importantly I never see any of my patients complain of dysbiotic reactions from its use.”

If one wants to have healthy kids, one does not want to inject one’s children with vaccines that contain a long list of nasty substances. We should not trust doctors, big pharmaceutical companies nor the CDC and FDA with their long list of lies, deceptions and false basic assumptions. Vaccines are full of poisons and antibiotics are poisons—that is exactly what they are supposed to be so they can kill bacteria. Unfortunately, they hurt healthy cells at the same time.

Image result for Iodine vaccines

The US federal government allows pharmaceutical companies to put neurotoxic mercury (Thimerosal) in the flu vaccine and inject that directly into children’s blood streams and babies, starting at six months of age, is reason enough to not put ANY trust in the medical industrial complex.

Vaccines are under investigation for the side effects they cause. The results of a new investigation show the presence of micro and Nano sized particulate matter composed of inorganic elements in vaccines’ samples which is not declared among the components and whose unduly presence is, for the time being, inexplicable.[2]

More and more parents are finding out that their children will be healthier if they do not vaccinate.

Live Science is reporting that more parents are refusing to vaccinate their children now than a decade ago because they simply do not see a need for vaccination. With iodine, one does not have to fear. One can simply replace childhood vaccines and antibiotics with iodine.

What we do have to fear is modern medicine. The sum of its intelligence in terms of fighting infections is to continue to do things that do not work and are dangerous to its patients.

A Nevada woman in her 70s who’d recently returned from India died in September from a “superbug” infection that resisted all antibiotics, according to a report released Friday… The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “basically reported that there was nothing in our medicine cabinet to treat this lady,” report co-author Dr. Randall Todd.

The golden age of antibiotics is over and now humanity faces a nightmare of antibiotic resistant infections. You would think doctors would give up and start using iodine, as they did 100 years ago, when it was one of the most important medicines you would find in a pharmacy.

Dr. Lisa Landymore-Lin in her book Poisonous Prescriptions, Do Antibiotics Cause Asthma and Diabetes? She questioned the role of antibiotics as a cause of cancer since they do lead to pathogen overgrowth especially in the area of yeast and fungi. Chris Woollams writes, “It is estimated that 70 per cent of the British population have a yeast infection. The primary cause of this is our love of antibiotics. Swollen glands? Take antibiotics. Tonsillitis? Take antibiotics.” Dr. Elmer Cranton, says that, “Yeast overgrowth is partly iatrogenic (caused by the medical profession) and can be caused by antibiotics.”

How Wrong Can They Get It?

In a recent ruling, judges at the German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) confirmed that the measles virus does not exist. Furthermore, there is not a single scientific study in the world, which could prove the existence of the virus in any scientific literature. This raises the question of what was actually injected into millions over the past few decades. The MMR is a fraud but one that has hurt many children no matter what the governments and pharmaceutical companies profess.

Dr. David Brownstein said, “More and more children continue to get the MMR vaccine even though a 2004 CDC MMR study was falsified to hide the fact that the MMR vaccine was found to significantly increase the risk of autism in boys who received it.”

deaths_in_the_us_during_the_past_10_years_due_to_measles

Not a single scientist, immunologist, infectious disease specialist or medical doctor has ever been able to establish a scientific foundation for the vaccination of measles. In reality, fundamental research on what viruses are and how they infect us is lacking though beliefs about them are not. Going all the way back to Pasteur to new discoveries in microbiology we see much that undermine common belief about viruses and how they cause disease.

Do they even exist?

It is easier to pretend that viruses do exist. Many assume them to be real so they must be real. They certainly are markers for toxic human physiology. However, iodine backed up with other nutritional medicines like bicarbonate, magnesium and selenium combine to treat the conditions doctors believe are viral infections.

However, nearly everything we once believed about the purportedly deadly properties of flu virus may be based on institutionalized superstition and myth. A different way of looking at viral diseases is that we do not catch them we create the conditions inside.

Bacteria are scavengers of nature; they reduce dead tissue to its smallest element. In the old days, illness was usually due to errors of diet or manner of living, the germs being present solely as scavengers of dead and waste tissues and foods, and not as the cause of the disease.

Germs flourish as scavengers at the site of diseased tissues. They are thriving on the unprocessed metabolic waste and diseased, malnourished tissues. They are not the cause of the disease, any more than flies and maggots cause garbage. We always see firefighters at burning buildings but that does not mean they caused the fire. Whatever we want to believe it is a mistake to treat the germ without treating the environment, the condition that exists that leads to the sickness.

We know that viruses (or the conditions that create them) are sensitive to pH levels in the tissues and cells. We know that toxins and nutritional deficiencies compromise cells, and their aquatic surroundings, so treating viral infections that address pH, detoxification and nutritional deficiencies in an urgent (intensive care) manner will deal with most acute medical emergencies that appear to be caused by viral infections.

The title says it all. By the time you reach the final page of my free EBook The Terror of Pediatric Medicine you will understand that pediatric medicine is one of the worst things that ever happened to the world of babies and young children.

As the U.S. vaccine court proves, many who get vaccinated wind up with minor, major, and chronic autoimmune diseases, sometimes paralysis, autism, and death. According to a NY Times essay on flu vaccines several years ago, “As soon as swine flu vaccinations start next month, some people getting them will drop dead of heart attacks or strokes, some children will have seizures and some pregnant women will miscarry.”

None of this happens with iodine. My advice is to stay away from vaccines, antibiotics and especially from the doctors who prescribe these medicines with impunity.
