Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 156

[ecosophia]

This post concludes the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

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.

Czech data

[transcriberb]

Oops, sorry, JMG, I left a comment on Magic Monday (after the deadline), not realizing that I was posting on Magic Monday; I had thought I was posting on the covid forum.

My comment was about Steve Kirsch's posts on the Czech data-- that, speaking of shoes about to drop, this looks to me like a one big hobnailed boot dropped.

His latest post on the Czech data:

"A closer look at the Czech Republic data confirms the mRNA vaccines are too deadly to be used
Several people have replicated my work and agree with me. I'll list here the new attacks and why they all fail to explain the data so you can decide for yourself who to believe."

Other shoes to drop...

You've said you were expecting "other shoes to drop first". Are you referring to the real-estate economy in the USA?

OCD

[(Anonymous)]

Hello JMG, please feel free to delete if off topic - this is tangentially related to health issues caused by the pandemic.

My husband and I are currently working through his anxiety disorder which got much, much worse during COVID. We're at the fun stage where he is anxious about the anxiety itself... and I recently read that autism + ADHD + OCD are now considered to be "correlated" per current disease definition. Autism is definitely part of my husband's makeup, and looking back on the patterns of how the anxiety presents in him, there is some obsessive and repetitive behavior that I can identify. Just another part of the nasty tapestry, sigh.

So my question to the group here - what are some things I might be able to help him do, if OCD is indeed part of what's going on here, that wouldn't be in the wheelhouse of Western medicine? Not asking for medical advice et. etc. Any thoughts or personal experiences would be welcome.

OCD if properly applied can lead to productive results. My husband used it to get into medical school (hours and days and years of studying), a fruitful and successful career as a specialist physician and now after retirement I can use it to induce endless weeding in the gardens. It's allowed us to have a comfortable life by any standards. But without my shepharding it could have been disasterous.

During the full-on vixation assault he kept saying "I've been trained to have faith in these people" and took two shots.

I've been playing with herbal usage (I consider it food) and make my own tinctures with mostly plants I grow myself. When he would become rolled up in anxiety induced anguish about whether to listen to me or the MSM I would give him a little water into which I'd put an eye dropper full (appox. 1 ml) each of lemon balm, St. John's wort and valerian (all 1:4) and the soothing effects were almost immediate.

Not medical advice, just what I did, and what I observed. Good luck and my blessings if you will receive them. It's not always easy to have such special people in our lives.

Re: OCD

In answer to your question— Many years ago, as a child, I suffered from a brief spell of OCD. It lasted about 2-3 months, tapering off. Honestly I could never identify as pyshological / emotional source for the OCD. Turns out, as I found out only recently, that it was most likely an after effect of a strep infection (which I experienced as a bad cold with a really, really sore throat). It's a thing, OCD after strep. A kind of brain inflammation.

What I take from that is that, whether strep is the cause of the OCD or not, is that what should probably help would be natural remedies to bring down inflamation and also to be sure to keep the body well hydrated, and with blood and lymph circulating. To wit: I would drink a lot of healthy drinks and broths with approrpiate herbs and spices, plus loads of onion, ginger, and lemon. Also, every day, I would be sure to get some walking in, and some light exercise, possibly also some therapeutic massage or reflexology, and also take some sunlight every day.

Also: I would avoid TV news and social media like the plague.

I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice, just the thoughts of a person who has lived a long time and seen many things.

May you find the healing that is best for you.

All I know is that walkiing helps me overall with everything. Lots of walking. Even when my legs ache just limp along. And I both sing and hum while I walk. That might not be useful at all. But I feel the burning up of extra energy reduces my ability to slip into insane scenarios in my mind.

Someone near and dear to me has developed OCD after the pandemic terrorism he endured. I copied this link for my own further research; maybe it would be helpful for you as well.

Something else I've looked into, but haven't tried myself, is St. John's Wort, here's some information on that.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck in finding help for your husband.

There is this guy on YouTube, Midwest Magic Cleaning. He has ADHD and Autism and OCD or something along those lines. What calms him down is cleaning. He does it for people for free. He talks a lot about how he deals with things and how you have to deal with people with OCD. I know some folks don't do videos, but if you do, these are mildly entertaining, if you like to watch things get cleaner. I am recommending it only because it is a way to help understand how people deal with things. He has anxiety about lots of things and he talks about it. I don't know if it helps, but it helped me understand my own feelings of anxiety and how others deal with it.

My daughter is similar, no overnight cure except slowing her life right down into her comfort zone, resettling then slowly growing outwards as she's ready. But I've been gifted the time to do this in, as an adult she may not have it. For me personally, gardening and animal care (having to walk out to let the animals out, feeding, cleaning etc) provide me with grounded patterns that I sort of internally lack.

Re: OCD

[stubborn_ass]

I've seen St John's wort mentioned a few times in this thread. FWIW it's part of our anti-spike protocol, now used as a add-on, when there's too many freshly jabbed (fresh is relative, could be 9 months to a year and they're still shedding) around my kids in school or on public transport. Our first line of defence is still the nicotine patch with Black Seed Oil, very convenient.... which works very well for the most part, but dosing has to be limited as there's much more singificant toxicity above certain levels. But there's no noted side effects with St John's wort... so the kids will surreptiously pop a couple of pills every few hours while in school to top up their anti-spike protection. Does the job of mopping up any stray spike that got through the other lines of defence.

Hello JMG and forumistas,

First off, I'd like to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has written on here over the past 3 years. So much important information and support!

We are currently experiencing our 2nd round of cooties and so many suggestions of what to do have bubbled up from somewhere in my memory. It's almost overwhelming as I feel like I'm throwing the entire kitchen sink at my family (husband, visiting sister from Bay Area, 7 year old son).

I was wondering if anyone had experience with restoring sense of taste and smell? That seems to be my problem after bad colds, starting with one in 1990. I did inhale from some peppermint sprigs in the garden, which was helpful. One side is more affected than the other.

My husband and sister, both foxxed, are having it a little worse that I am (unfoxxed), persistent headache and coughing. I'll look up FLCCC at some point for current protocol. We've been taking white pine tea with ginger and birch polypore.

And do any New Hampshirites know if you really can get Vit I over the counter in that state?

One ingredient we've been imbibing is this deliciously sweet spring water from Buckfield, ME, Cooper Springs. Supposedly it's one of the best in the state, passing between/thru? touramline and crystal mines. It's on Find a Spring and if anyone is in Western ME, check it out!

It's interesting how attitudes, even in good Bay Area, CA, have relaxed since the beginning. While Sis dutifully tested, she never once asked for a mask to wear anywhere and we have been in stores, etc. She did ask for one for the plane, though.

We're getting through it and on my to-do list is to hit up the hipster fermentation store for some natto. And it's made us start up the bioplasma again.

Hope everyone is getting through the summer okay and I'll echo what Scotlyn always says, "be well, stay free!"

Bird Flu Qualifies for Emergency Use Authorization Exclusion from Safety Studies?

[(Anonymous)]

I read something which said EUA was already in place, but this July 27 article says it is only "may be" approved.
https://www.precisionvaccinations.com/2024/07/27/bird-flu-vaccines-may-obtain-emergency-use-authorization

But one day ago we get some more definite approval. Well, definite PRE-approval, let's say.
https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2024-07-23-hhs-broadens-emergency-declaration-facilitate-response-bird-flu-other-viruses-pandemic-potential. Well, that sounds pretty definite.

What the hell is going on?

How do these guys know it is worthwhile risking the health and lives of hundreds of millions with an untested medical gene therapy, where there is no pandemic, so there is no emergency, and there couldn't possibly be a shred of reliable safety data?

Or is this now just going to now be a new-normal election year thingie?

Or is there now evidence that getting overVexed lowers the Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Intelligence Quotient sufficiently to save "Our Democracy"?

Re: No subject

[stubborn_ass]

Use lactoferrin and benadryl (before sleep as it can make someone quite drowsy)... helps to quickly restore taste/smell in 80% of folks so far. Simple OTC remedies. Each has some effect on its own, but the combo is more effective. That's assuming that the spikes in the body from the infection has already been mopped up..

I tell people 'Man was made for walking - that, and not the pseudo-healthy exercise of a modern gym, etc. Few listen. Those that have sense are walkers already!

However, it must be conceded that the modern urban environment is often not conducive to restorative perambulation.....

Not descending into insane scenarios is quite tricky these days, as the possible - and even probable - real-life scenarios are perfectly insanity-inducing.

Reading Plotinus is doing me some good in keeping and even keel at present - a nice thick book stuffed with good things! To think about on the next walk.

Five Countries to Test European Vaccination Card

Blood cancers increasing?

[(Anonymous)]

I now know 3 people in my very small circle of local acquaintances who have developed blood cancer. One is an 11-year-old girl, the second a man in his low 40s, and the third a woman in her 60s. All are people I would absolutely expect to have been vexxed. Anyone else seeing an uptick like this?
