Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 172

[ecosophia]

We are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

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 and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. 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 wholly owned 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 plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.

5. 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. 

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Dog cancer update

[(Anonymous)]

For anyone interested in my dogs cancer saga: she is doing ok and actually looks a bit better than she did a month ago when she was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

She is 4 years old, and has an aggressive cancer in her entire left kidney extending down her ureter to her bladder. She almost died at animal ER 3 weeks ago, I believe because her kidneys couldn’t handle the medications (antibiotics and pain meds). They sent her home with instructions to call when she’s ready for euthanasia.

We then took her home and stopped all kibble dog food made by large corporation (which has lots of rumors online of their food contributing to serious illness and death, presumably due to glyphosate). Also kibble has lots of starches in it which break down into sugars, and I’m reading that cancer needs glucose to grow so removing processed dog food may help for that reason too. But also it’s hard to imagine that any processed food can be that good for you, and that was the main bulk of her diet.

And she has been on fenbendazole for 3 weeks. It’s the only medication that she can tolerate without trouble and maybe it’s helping her! Thank you Temporary Reality for that tip. She still has discomfort, most likely nausea from poor kidney function, but she seems much happier, more energetic, walks/jogs 1-2 miles daily which is much better than when I brought her in and got her diagnosis.

According to the vet she is ‘defying the odds.’

Dear Tamar, I'm so glad to hear this - whatever the outcome of this, she's happier and more energetic, what's not positive about that?! And heck, even I don't walk/jog 1-2 miles a day (though maybe I ought to), so she MUST be feeling spry. (and maybe I ought to get a dog, so I can put in those miles...lol)

Go Dog, Go! as they say ;)

She is getting spoiled right now with the daily forest walks, which previously was more of a weekend thing. But I love it. And the forest is beautiful here, I just feel thankful. I must admit, before getting our dog we didn’t go out and walk quite so much either.

If you saw her now you wouldn’t think that she has cancer. Every day seems a little better. -t

My wife is a dog trainer and it's shocking how many of her clients animals died recently. On the bright side she was never into cooking but had to learn how it in order to prepare food for them, so now we all mostly eat the same stuff as they do. They are 12 yo and people think one of them is still under 6.

I had a dog stop and look at me recently on the street. Just look up at me. The owner and I were friendly and very briefly chatted about her dog.
But I think the dog knew I didn't have the V in me.

Dogs see a lot of things we don't see, it would not surprise me. More likely, the dog smelled the difference. I've read elsewhere (sorry I don't have the link) that dogs can smell the jabs on people.

On a happy note, I saw someone the other day whom I know took at least one jab (probably more) and ended up in the hospital with adverse reactions back in 2022, but honestly, she looked great. Her energy I can only describe as clean and sunny. I have no idea what she's been doing. It's not a relationship such that I would ask. But it was wonderful to see.

Not so much lately (I guess most people's systems would have cleared the vax by now), but in 2022 dogs were being unusually friendly to me in the street, with one still looking back at me when it was quite a distance up the street.

It’s possibly less that they smell your injection status and more they
Pick up on your “vibe” - though that doesn’t deny that I jection status can affect vibe, so there’s that.

Dogs are emotionally sophisticated- check out Kevin Behan’s “Your dog is your mirror” for confirmation of that.

My sibling's dog learned to smell meth-heads, after getting a taste of one that tried to force his way into sib's house one evening. Apparently liked the flavor, because ever after, he got very excited and would whine and yip at the fence whenever one walked by (super sketchy neighborhood, there were several of them), hoping for another bite.

Dogs have crazy good noses, *and* are good at vibes ;)

Hi Tamar, Thanks for sharing this, and may your dog feel ever better!

I've been seeing lots of reports of cancers responding to antivirals, it's very, very encouraging. I am so glad to hear this.

PS This is not medical advice, just my experience: to strengthen their defenses, once in a while I give my dogs a bit of raw honey mixed with a little pollen and a splash of milk to get it to blend. They like it with their food. I give each about a tablespoon. Also strengthening for them are boiled eggs, especially the yolks.

If anyone is ever interested in moving beyond industrial dog food, I can recommend Rudi Edelati's book Barker's Grub: Easy, Wholesome Home-Cooking for Dogs. (If anyone grew up on a ranch in times before industrial kibble, they'll probably find this all cooking for dogs just... not too complicated. It turns out that it's pretty much what dogs always got, funky bits of meat and bones and peoples' leftovers. For the rest of us, it seems, it takes some Overton Window opening to consider cooking for dogs. Rudi Edelati's book includes some special recipes for dogs with various health issues, however, so for me it's a worthwhile book to keep in the kitchen.)

Thank you so much transcriberb! I appreciate the recommendation, I’ll look into that book. I don’t plan to ever buy kibble again, or any dog food for that matter. Even the basic raw meat dog food at the pet store is very expensive and nothing special. It looks like mashed meat put into little shapes, my dog won’t even consider it. But home cooked meals or raw actual meat and she’s all about it! -t

Re: Dog cancer update

I confess about half of my dog's diet is industrial, but the other half is cheap cooked meat and whatever leftovers we have. We're lucky that our local supermarket gives away meat for dogs sometimes.

Garlic and dogs; I've found garlic to be the difference between my dog having ticks and worms, and having no ticks and worms. Conventional wisdom says garlic is bad for dogs, because the corporations paid for studies where they deliberately poisoned dogs by massively overdosing them (just as with HCQ during covid). At a clove per 20kg of dog, it's very good for them, I'd look into the subject, Tamar, as it might be part of what helps your doggo. Clay is worth looking into, too; geophagy can help deal with poisons like roundup. I give my dog (and myself!) montmorillonite once in a while.

Hope your dog gets better. "May you be the person your dog thinks you are."

Thanks for this! Coincidentally I was just reading about garlic last night, after my dog just enjoyed a delicious dinner of beef with garlic and I thought maybe I should research a bit and make sure that’s ok. I found the same study where they fed dogs a ridiculously amount of garlic and found it to be harmful. But I also found holistic info saying that it has healing and therapeutic effects when given in normal amounts. Thank you for the confirmation, I’ll definitely give her more if she wants it. -t
