    Thanks, Sue. I'm still listening to John's vid and I'll post the other here as well. It's another eye opener.

    One comment that stayed with me for hours was how officials want to lower the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) allotment even more. (formerly know as Food Stamp Program) Not to prevent people from purchasing junk items like Coke. No. Their diabolical plan was to make the monthly allotment so low that folks could only afford to purchase the process foods!

    {insert "burn in hell" emoji here}



    Early in my career I consulted for Coke to ensure sugar taxes and soda was included in food stamp funding. I say Coke’s policies are evil because I saw inside the room. The first step in the playbook was paying the NAACP plus other civil rights groups to call opponents racist.

    What is going on with big food? And is it making us sick?

    Cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, obesity, auto immune conditions, these are all going up and they are all food borne illnesses. And the fact that there is not clear communication about that from a medical leaders and public policy leaders. I think it's the biggest scandal in America and the most dangerous scandal.

    We are being brought to our knees by metabolic dysfunction tied to food. Eight of the ten killers of Americans, as I mentioned some of them are directly tied to food that also includes depression. Depression is skyrocketing as Chris Palmer at Harvard and some other prominent doctors are pointing out. Brain conditions are metabolic dysfunctions …”
    Big Pharma Is Fooling You & Making Americans Sick!
    Corrupt Companies & Toxic Food
    (2 hours)


    Summary:

    If you’re following government guidelines for food and health, watch this episode very carefully, as the industry and policy lies being exposed are triggering.

    Calley Means has been advising politicians and prominent food and pharma companies and has founded his own company, TrueMed, to expose and change the food industries causing harm that the healthcare industry is profiting heavily.

    The best thing for you to do right now is get as educated about the system you are part of as citizens, consumers, and patients of all parties involved in feeding yourself and your families. This conversation hits hard when you realize how inescapable all of this feels.

    Calley shares from experience working with big food industries and losing his mother to a succession of food borne illnesses that have everything to do with food that’s leading to cancer, Alzheimers, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and depression.

    Thoughts that exposes areas you can start rethinking and changing right away:

    $10 billion dollars is transferred in a year from the government to soda companies through food-stamps, part of a nutrition program designed to to help low income families.

    Lower income men die 11 years younger than higher income men, largely because of diet.

    Healthcare, big pharma, food companies, and public policy makers make the solution for metabolic health sound extremely complicated, but it’s really not complicated, it’s just not beneficial for them.

    You and everyone around you is being sickened by preventable metabolic dysfunction. Now is the time to get educated and manage your risk and the risks to your family and the environment we live in. This may be the best place to start your research to take action on not being poisoned and blinded by the food and healthcare industry lies. Consuming ultra-processed foods, seed oils, copious amounts of sugar and highly processed grains is not in your best interest.

    Food and lifestyle interventions are some of the most effective ways to prevent and heal diseases like Alzheimers, depression, and diabetes. What will you change today to make eating healthy the default for you, your children, and your family?

    Hi John, sorry about everything you've had to endure lately.

    As far as the tachycardia and arrhythmia, that's easier to fix than you might think. These 4 things will sort it out:

    1. coenzyme q10 (gel caps/ubiquinol form)
    2. l carnitine
    3. magnesium (looks like you're already on this)
    4. D-ribose powder.

    It's the "fearsome foursome" suggested by cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, and it works wonderfully on nearly every single heart issue, including late state heart failure. It saved my life and i'm sure it'll sort out your issues too.

    If money is an issue I'll happily buy it for you. Just send me a pm. I'm that confident it'll work for you.

    Thank you Ernie, such good news and so inspiring



    Quote Posted by Ernie Nemeth (here)
    My wife had COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2, emphysema) for four years, since right before covid - just about the time the first 5G towers were being installed in Toronto. Even though the evidence suggested a correlation between my wife's symptoms and the 5G towers, we went with the medical industry's assessment. Over the next 4 years we visited the hospitals at least five times with the average stay having been about two weeks. My wife would flounder on the brink of death, be brought back to a semblance of health and discharged, only to get very ill once again. Her medications were a hodgepodge, hit-and-miss, collection of drugs, some of which counteracted the others or caused cumulative damage. Not to mention 'side effects' brought about by the wrong dosages or combinations of medications.

    Long story short, I finally took the deep dive, after my wife was discharged without improvement - having secretly been diagnosed as COPD -end stage. (this I would only find out later after she was almost murdered by the staff) Nobody cares about those that come to the cardiology unit with COPD - end stage, as they have been labelled with authority as someone who will 'soon die'.

    She was so close to death. Her oxygen was at maximum and still she struggled to breathe. A week went by and I was at my wits end - there was no one left to call, no hope to be had.

    In this state I went over what I knew, being so old that much of my knowledge is hidden even from myself unless I purposely access it, I meditated on the problem. It did not take long to realize I knew what to do - knew it all along. It was just that I had residual blind faith in the medical profession and did not understand how that was blocking my own better, common sense.

    Since there was nothing left to do, I tried to apply what I knew:
    I took her off her medications, except for Azithromyacin and Budesodine (spelling?).
    I disconnected the WiFi box and ran a hard link to my computer instead.
    I administered, for the first time, HCQ, normal 200mg dosage, to my wife.

    She responded within 24 hours. I don't know which did the trick.

    A week later she was back on her feet, doing her stretches and deep breathing.

    6 weeks now, she still uses supplemental oxygen but she can go without it - the dial is set at the lowest level.
    She is now well on the road to recovery, doing two sets of extensive calisthenics, breathing, and muscle strengthening exercises each day.

    We got a kitten to replace our beloved cat, Max. That was only possible if she made a complete recovery, I guess we can claim she has...

    I hope this is taken as support for a fellow sufferer, not as hijacking the thread.
    I will keep you in my prayers.

    Many thanks, Ernie. I'm not concerned about my heart. My main stress factor is the pain caused by the three herniated discs.

    budesonide - a handy anti-inflammatory for lung congestion cased by covid and other reasons.

    You didn't move away from the 5G so was the 5G signal involved or not?

    I have a huge stash of HCQ, which I persuaded my doctor to prescribe for IBS that occasionally troubles me. He thinks I take one a day. In reality I take about three 200 mg per week.

    Make sure that your wife takes plenty of D3+K2 and also vitamin C. I'd suggest minimum 10,000 IU of D and as much vitamin C as she can tolerate without getting diarrhoea. The K2 helps to take calcium from the blood and put it into the bones.

    Thanks. Money isn't an issue. My wife and I have state and private pensions, plus income from our rented-out property in the UK. The main issue is to locate suppliers that deliver to Greece. Also the fact that the Greek postal and courier services are ludicrously slow.
    As stated above, I'm really not concerned about my heart, anyway. My back is the problem.

    Having suffered many years from back pain, I can now say the problem is almost non existent.
    I do not know which action was the main remedy, but my high age is probably contributing as the discs are getting harder with age and less prone to eggspansion.

    I will make a short list, just to stimulate your own research, as I am not a doctor.

    Stretching the spine
    can be hard as you say, with too much pain, but one stretch I find easy and effective is using a collar supporting the head (like a noose but broader ...) connected to a ceiling joist or similar with a rope.
    Tell your partner what you are going to do beforehand, to avoid heart attacks.
    The trick is not to "hang", but stand with minimal slack and just carefully bend the knees a little. Start with very little stretch for perhaps half a minute and feel the effect.
    While you are sewing the collar, the stretching can be done by hanging in your arms too.
    This may give the discs room for some contraction, and extend the time and pull accordingly. I made mine from an old backpack.


    Serrapeptase
    in combination with Nattokinase may also be smart, as Serrapeptase will dissolve any scartissue in the body and take down inflammation.
    I have taken 100mg Nattokinase and 120 000 SerraPeptaseUnits twice a day.


    Magnesium
    is good but it is important to remember Potassium too.
    In Sweden we have table salt called Mineralsalt, from mining in the Atacama desert, with less Sodium and 15.7% Potassium instead.
    That is an inexpensive way to get more Potassium, but it is of course also possible to buy eggspensive Potassium Citrate.

    One smart way IMHO to get more Mg into our bodies, is to skip the aluminium salts for antiperspiration, and instead use MgCl with optional etheric oil.

    Have a nice research voyage on the WWW!

    Hi John.

    5G signals do not just come from towers. To make towers useful you need the final link to most devices in the home, namely WiFi.
    It is one of the points I did not delve into but...just before she got sick I remember Bell replaced our old 4G WiFi with the new 5G one.
    These signal devices use asymmetric waveform technology - they can extend lobes of the field farther in certain directions, with overlapping asymmetric wave forms. The problem with this tech is that some areas of the field are far stronger than other areas due to over-lapping of these fields.

    The result of these 5G signals is that there are step field potentials set up within the field, causing exposure to the discharge of energy in the microwave range into the soft tissues of the body.

    In the video above, Calley Means references his sister, Dr. Casey Means. I’ve read about half of their book, “Good Energy”, published on May 14, 2024. It’s advertised as an instant #1 New York Times bestseller.

    Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health
    by Casey Means MD (Author), Calley Means, May 14, 2024


    A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future

    What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

    Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible today -  is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function - the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.

     If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.

    Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:
    • The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
    • How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
    • Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
    • The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
    • A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
    • How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
    • Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health

     Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden.  It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

    have you consider the strong incoming energies?
    i have reports of people suffering like a heart attack which then not confirmed by docs.... they can´t find anything. My advice would be increase electricity... you can take ormus, mms to have blood clean floowing nicely and i would love to do some healing sessions on you.... hang on bc med beds are around the corner.
    Much love

    Ernie: 5G noted, thanks. Luckily, no 5G where I live. Only in major cities.

    silver birch: noted, thanks.

    Running Deer: I've downloaded the book, thanks. Added to my reading list!

    betoobig: I'm having a therapy session this afternoon. Care to comment?
    https://www.dennislewis.org/articles...chi-nei-tsang/

    I have to dash, now. Wife is calling. Going for a healthy "full English breakfast". My once-a week treat.

    Edit: I have MMS but don't take it on a regular basis. More an emergency treatment.

    The therapy session was interesting: mainly poking my stomach plus a discussion afterwards and some very helpful advice about relaxing.

    Update Fri, Aug 9, 2024

    My back ache and sciatica have worsened. I seems that the exercises I was given were all wrong. I've had two visits to a physiotherapist who pounded me into submission. I have learned to swear in Greek. Unfortunately, I think she's overdoing the pressure on the muscles and worsening the inflammation around the sciatic nerve so the healing process will probably take longer than necessary. But I'll persevere. I'm using an elbow crutch, now, to hobble about. Also using a support belt. And I expose my skin to the sun each day for a few minutes.

    And the cayenne pepper capsules that I ordered weeks ago have just arrived.

    (I have to edit this each time I want to post again, otherwise I just get the error message.) And again.

    I went through the same things years ago. Chiropractors and physiotherapy only made things worse, although some massages were helpful.

    The vicious circle went on for three months, despite Vitamin B injections and pain killers.

    In retrospect I realized that what helped most was rest, rest and more rest.

    Also muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory meds.

    Hot salt bags, made out of a cotton pillow case with a couple of pounds of table salt inside, 3 minutes in a microwave, helped with the pain.

    That little bag became my only comfort zone.

    The Vit B complex is essential to rebuild the damaged nerve.

    Also Avalonians sending healing energy works wonders.

    I don't think I've ever heard of hot salt bags, Ulli, how interesting. Would epsom salts work in the same way, I wonder?

    Anything that retains heat. Normally it's a bag of corn, I believe.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I can't take anti-inflammatory meds and they don't seem to help on the rare occasions that I've tried them in the past. I've tried external Ibuprofen gel with DMSO but there's no obvious effect. A castor oil poultice was also recommended. I'm still trying to borrow a sanitary pad to try that.

    I have an office chair to which I've fitted a greenhouse plant-heating pad. It works quite well but it's 32°C in the shade today, with clear blue sky, so I prefer simply to expose my back to sunlight for a few minutes, periodically.

    A friend in England just asked if I was taking anticoagulants. I thought that my reply might interest others:-

    I take the following, daily, and ALL are contraindicated if an allopathic anticoagulant is taken because they all have anticoagulant properties. The hospital doctor who prescribed an anticoagulant didn’t ask me if I was taking anything and, until I looked these up, I didn’t know about their anticoagulant effects! I was taking them for other reasons. The following paragraphs are mostly extracts from research papers.

    Curcumin is an active ingredient in turmeric and appears to have anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning or anticoagulant properties. A 2019 review in the EPMA Journal indicates that turmeric may help block blood clotting and advises caution when combining turmeric with blood-thinning drugs.

    Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, an active compound that has shown potential anticoagulant effects.

    Bromelain: Although the in-vitro findings in this small study indicate a potential anticoagulant effect for bromelain, this needs to be interpreted with caution as neither an oral nor intravenous routes were evaluated. The paradoxical in-vivo data following intraperitoneal administration show the complexity of the effects of bromelain beyond platelets and indicate possible effects on other cells or proteins that require further investigations.

    Magnesium Citrate: Magnesium can help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, which can lower blood pressure.

    Vitamin C: Individuals on anticoagulants should limit their vitamin C intake to <1 g/day.
    (I take 2 gms/day).

    N-acetyl cysteine: NAC has anticoagulant and platelet-inhibiting properties.

    Nattokinase has antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects.

    Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been shown in retrospective studies to decrease aPL titers in laboratory studies, and to decrease thrombosis risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

    Hesperidin is not considered safe for patients already taking anticoagulants, calcium channel blockers, or suffering from hypertension because it acts as a blood thinner.

    Rutin: Turbidity and fibrin clotting assays revealed that rutin could inhibit the formation of fibrin clot.

    I’ve just started to take the following on the recommendation of a friend.

    Ginkgo biloba is an anticoagulant that inhibits platelet-activating factor and is contraindicated with aspirin.

    Crataegus oxyacantha Linn., commonly known as Hawthorn, is one of the most widely used herbal heart tonic. Recently it has been extensively investigated chemically and evaluated clinically for its beneficial cardiovascular properties. Hawthorn berries support the heart due to the high content of bioflavonoids. It increases the body’s ability to utilize oxygen, and the heart’s ability to utilise calcium. The glycero-ethanolic macerate of shoots, leaves and flowers have demonstrated bradycardia, significant decrease of arterial blood pressure, both in normotensive and hypotensive rats and anti-arrhythmic activity in all experimental models of arrhythmia.

    So I think my blood is probably thin enough.

    My resting BP is on average 126/69. My resting pulse varies from 64 - 80 bpm.

    EDIT: I also take 6mg Ivermectin each week:
    Ivermectin has been shown, in vitro, to antagonize the same vitamin K–dependent clotting factors that warfarin does (II, VII, IX, and X).

    The routine prescriptions for heart-related stuff always seems to be statins and blood-thinners in the US.
    And there are so many nutrients and foods that are supposed to be limited. Healthy things.
    It sure makes me upset to see friends and loved ones restricting themselves so drastically from the good stuff, in lieu of the darn blood-thinners.
    My neighbor won't even eat most greens, and spinach, as she says that she is not supposed too. I do wonder about that.
    I would prefer the natural thinners myself.

    This is how I found out about hot salt bags. A Ukrainian osteopath, who had moved to Costa Rica, told me to use it for the pain. He was waiting for approval from the medical association, so while waiting he treated people with massages, and whatever home remedy he had learned during the last ten years of working in the failing Soviet Union.

    The Kiev hospital he worked in by then had no pharmaceutical pain killers, none whatsoever, and they had patients screaming in pain.
    So they found all sorts of home remedies, and the hot salt worked better than rice grains or corn. The tiny salt crystals radiate heat deeper into the cells than anything else. That was his explanation, and I found it to be very helpful.

    My mother had bone cancer at the time, and was in a lot of pain. I suggested she poured a kilo of salt into a cotton pillow case and made a knot, and have a microwave placed on her bedside table, so she could reheat the bag at any time.

    It took her one whole year to actually take my advice, and when she finally tried it out she was amazed at the relief it gave her.

    I don’t know about Epsom salts. One would have to try it.

    So I think my blood is probably thin enough.

    My resting BP is on average 126/69. My resting pulse varies from 64 - 80 bpm.
    In 2016 I had cholecystectomy due to my gallbladder being cancerous. After being discharged from the hospital, my oncologist started me on Warfarin for about 3 months to treat a DVT near the liver I had developed after my procedure. After that I switched to Eliquis for about 9 months. A year after I had my surgery, I went to Taiwan along with my wife. While there, we saw a famous Chinese herbal doctor who prescribed me the following natural concoction that is more effective than western anticoagulants:

    Take equal parts of ginger juice (e.g 1/4 cup), garlic juice, organic lemon juice, organic apple cider vineger and simmer it until the volume of the mixture is reduced by 50%. Refrigerate the concoction. Take 1 table spoon daily for about a month or so.

    This was the worst smelling and horrible tasting stuff I ever had, I closed my nose while taking it. I had to take this in the garage away from everybody else. I took this for 3 months. At the end of the 3 months, my DVT was gone (confirmed by CT scan). This simple remedy cured me of DVT that two expensive western medicine could not.

    I see you take 2 grams of vitamin C daily. I would caution you against taking such high dosage of vitamin C as it may raise your chance of having kidney stone since vitamin C can be transformed into oxalate in your body. I had kidney stone years ago, so a nephrologist put me on lifetime prescription of potassium citrate to compensate for this.

    Also there are many forms of magnesium supplements available. I've read that either magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate are better forms than magnesium citrate.

    John, I too have had herniated discs from a problematic back so upon reading your post(s) I immediately felt very bad and sad for you.

    Some herniated discs are worse than others. Like many injuries you will feel better in 4 - 6 weeks.

    I avoided chiropractors because they seem to want to put your back into a perfect position. But a person's back might not have a normal position like everyone else's.

    My only suggestions would be to discover your best sleeping position and try to get as much rest as possible. At the same time though, keep moving and walking when you can.

    Movement is life

    And be patient with your body's recovery.

    I am so sorry that this happened to you. I wish you the very best in your recovery path!
