Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 94

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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: Injuries
(Anonymous) 2023-05-26 11:26 am (UTC)(link)My own treatment for irritated skin is a dab of raw honey (not pastreurized) mixed with lotion such as Acquafor. In a pinch, I'll use whatever hand or body lotion is available.
The lotion is just to help keep the honey on the skin, and to keep it from being sticky, attracting dust, staining clothes, etc.
I use a small dab of honey, about the size of a fingernail, into about a tablespoon of lotion, and mix it with a toothpick. So basically, it's like applying lotion.
For a wound, I use more honey, less lotion, and a bandage.
A more professional way to do this is mix a big batch with a whisk or electric mixer and pour it into a sterilized jar.
This is just a good old-fashioned remedy-- the fancy term is apitherapy.
You can pay $$$ for Manuka honey, but I find that local raw works fine as well. Supermarket honey from who-knows-where, don't bother-- and if it's the cheaper option, it's cheap for a reason. The best way to find raw local honey is your local farmer's market. Otherwise, in the supermarket, you have to check the labels and alas, many are quite deceptive-- they say USA honey, but in teeniest, tiniest letters, it's another story. And you'll want raw because pasteurization kills a lot of the beneficial enzymes. Honey is not milk, you don't need to pasteurize it. But that's another discussion.
