ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 56

As we move further into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.

3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

I had a gall bladder attack a year ago at 64 years of age. First time it had happened. I went to the emergency room because I thought I was having a heart attack. They did an ultrasound, confirmed gallstones, and immediately said, "Let's take out your gall bladder!" They were shocked when I refused surgery and left. What I have figured out over the past year is that my gall bladder attack coincided with my being dehydrated. I had started jogging again after a multiyear hiatus, was not drinking enough water and Bingo -- gall bladder attack. I made a conscious effort to drink water, a lot of it, every day, and no more issues. I have gall stones, that is true. But they are not a problem so long as I stay well hydrated. I will definitely pray for your friends, but could you also ask them to DRINK MORE WATER! I might help. Just my opinion and not in any way medical advice!

I’m glad you posted this. Best I don’t say exactly why, lest the Rockefeller-sponsored whack-a-doodle pharmaquackery industry get huffy about it. But thanks.

Similar story here. Age in early sixties, and over roughly the past two years I have had two or three bouts of pain and bloating, the symptoms were rather textbook for gallbladder attack, right down to the location of the pain. The worst one began, I think, right after a particularly rich Christmas meal.

This is not medical advice, it's just relating my own history for curiosity's sake, (the curiosity of of my fellow eccentrics here.) After the meal, I went to the doctor, got definitively diagnosed with gallstones with an ultrasound, and got sent for a consult with a surgeon. He was nice enough, with more of an old-school, single practitioner vibe (not a big practice all focused on the bottom line.) But I turned down his recommendation that I have it removed. "I think I'll opt for a more conservative approach," I said. He replied that he thought surgery was the more conservative approach. I guess it is, if you earn your living that way....

I've lost a bit of weight since then, and I've been doing intermittent fasting once or twice a week, on average. Perhaps coincidence, but it really seems to have helped with the feeling bloated in my stomach. I've also taken milk-thistle for about a month two or three times over this period, with long pauses. Herbalists and some European doctors claim it is excellent for the liver. (My thinking was that increasing bile flow might help reduce the gallstones.) Also more bitter greens and radishes to stimulate bile flow.

I am rather pleased to report that it's been about 16 months since my last gallbladder incident. Who knows if all the vitamins I've been taking for immune support may have helped as well. I watch the fat a bit more carefully, but still believe that it's a crucial part of good nutrition and don't avoid fat, I just try to get good sources of it.

*Of course, you should consult with your doctor before trying any of these outlandish, things. These are just notes from an eccentric.
