    Another unpleasant video of a suffering teen:

    “A new television ad that spotlights Pfizer vaccine-related injuries suffered by 13-year-old Maddie de Garay was killed Friday late afternoon by Comcast attorneys after initially accepting the ad on Thursday. The ad was slated to run multiple times before and during the FDA’s VRBPAC Meeting on Pfizer Data on its COVID-19 Vaccine for Children 5-11. ”

    Racism of the day: “Nobody asked for Andrew Yang’s bizarre third party.” -Zeeshan Aleem, MSNBC

    The height of course was yesterday, chasing native (and black) people into the bush with a needle. “White Man’s Burden,” you know.

    “You should be terrified — and excited — about Facebook’s metaverse plans” –Reidout, MSNBC

    Now terrified of good things? So terror 24/7/365, good, bad, indifferent? “The Science is settled: you must quiver in fear at all times.” Land of the fee’d. Home of the quaver. But journalists: They are the mind-killer.

    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

    What does poverty in Capitalism have to do with Socialism? Yes, it has the poor, “for the poor are always among us.” So does every alternative, Socialism as much as anyone, ask the Siberians if not Ukranians. True freedom might have the most poor of all, dragging tipis behind a pony on the open plains.

    I try diligently to keep myself out of discussions, and that works well but, growing up, you didn’t just go buy a light bulb because you needed one. Ain’t nobody got that kind of money. And how would you get to the store? Ain’t nobody going to the store. Borrow the least-used light bulb, cards under the kitchen lamp, rest of the house dark and silent.

    Later, to live in many apartments, one after the other, on the floor. Because: furniture? Hahaha, how would that happen? And a truck to get it there? Now of course I have lots of furniture – and no longer mostly from the side of the road. Although all my mattresses were from the curb, doesn’t count the many years sleeping on a fold out couch. But better than a van by the river! You see, the van is fine, but the police hassle you and are your real danger. Helping, as ever, right to a prison cell and an indelible record. Got to protect the children!

    Had to pick the van – or some like thereof – because living in a crackhouse was a little too unrestful. The people were nice, but all hours day and night, things disappearing, periodic overdoses, you know the thing. Being level and helpful means you’re the floor monitor and desk clerk. Oh and pay the rent too.

    And as I answer this I see you were on the same route with your daughter. Although great in many ways, as you describe – it’s yours, you can change it anyway you wish and never cry, give it away even – I have to suggest Craigslist Antiques. For thrift store prices, better objects than are made these days, but really the key is that they hold or increase resale value. I’ve been taught this in vehicles too. Sure, you could get a Eos convertible or a Ducati, but you can also lose $10,000 too. But if you get a ‘69 Norton, not only can you sell it at cost, but stand the fair chance of making 50% on your joyride, then keep the money or buy a rarer joyride.

    I remember when I was living by the river and I bought my first tool. Money! I mean, 30 bucks doesn’t grow on trees! That’s a month of coffee. But the worse problem: now I’m a man of the world! One shirt, one bowl, one tool. Weighed down by my earthly attachments here! Meaning, the very act of buying it, I would now have to have a way to store that tool, move it from place to place, and $30 tools aren’t light! They’re only light to crackheads who will sell it on sight. …Then ask you for rent, as a human brother. You wouldn’t turn down a brother, would you? They’re going to end up on the street, you see, and no joke. Uh-huh, and I was “on the street” like that, just, what, yesterday? Why don’t you pay MY rent instead? What? It doesn’t work like that? Why not? I thought we were brothers.

    See how this goes? There’s a primer: Dennis Moore by Monty Python. I’ve referred it before, but it’s now been pulled online. In it, Dennis robs (lupins) from the rich to give to the poor, but he’s so successful that he’s now robbing the poor (who were once rich) to give to the rich (who were once poor) which is confusing indeed. Says he: “this wealth redistribution thing is trickier than I thought!”

    So all the guys who did coke, even the ones working 80h at restaurants, ended up with nothing, three alimonies deep, and I still have my first tool and all the savings that tool created through constant, quiet care and effort. Of course it doesn’t go that fast, and there are endless pitfalls arranged for you, but that’s how it all goes over time.

    Meanwhile, I live between people who made $100k (union) and $100k (big tech) and have blown it all. It’s just too hard to blow so much money fast enough that you end up on ramen, but they will. Their kids get subsidized student loans because they’re “poor”. They blew it all on 4-wheelers and Winnebagos, ‘71 Cameros rotting in the yard. Can’t you see they need help? But you, you there: you’re rich! I can see it in your eyes! Yeah, all those years of making $20k and sleeping on a couch while you were diving in Acapulco, now I have to help you and be both your kid’s insurance and your retirement plan. Boy, super-glad I made those sacrifices of all those bedbug roadside mattresses so your kids won’t have to. …Now that they’re back from the Caymans blew their money on football camp, and the money’s run out, I mean.

    Practically nothing said about Capitalism is true. Not the definitions, not the criticisms, though like all systems it has real problems, but we never address them because telling the truth even once is against all that we stand for as a society. So yes, IF we had Capitalism – and honestly like Socialism you won’t see a pure form – it would be a meritocracy of some sort, at least more or less. Slowly. Haphazardly. But in aggregate. That’s what makes what we have now “almost, but not quite entirely unlike Capitalism.” Free money. So no production, no control. No bankruptcy. Therefore, no meritocracy. No consequences. Therefore, all insider idiot trust fund kids. On coke. Stealing the tools of co-homeless housemates. Ah Trust Fund Kids: can’t shoot ‘em! Unless you’re Dick Cheney.

    And although that happens, the “rich” as we call them (none of us are going to meet anyone actually “rich”) do as you describe and are happy to help, be generous, give things they have, and that’s good and right as they can afford to. …The weird part is pointing a gun at them and making them “help”, either as the government or as the revolution. That’s sort of just “helping yourself” to their fridge. Why not help yourself to their BMW too? And they do! Blow it on crack and hookers then ask for more.

    The way to distinguish is if they, the individual “rich” support bankruptcy, fairness, consequences, because like “Rich Dad” they know how crooked the system is. And what have they done about it, from their slightly richer condition? We’re all somewhere in the middle, from vans by the river on up to worldwide hobos on peripatetic yachts in the Caymans. So since anyone anywhere in this level is pretty similar, what are we doing to uphold the right? Something like fairness, justice, honor?

    Many do. Really, all you have to do is ask. I found this out also on Craigslist: rich people off and on essentially just give things away. They’re only “selling” them as a way to transfer it out of their house because the money means nothing to them. It’s actually a nuisance. If you gave them a sob story, they’d probably go in the basement and give you four more chairs and a lawnmower. …They’d need fixing, but: no free lunch. Then a job painting their house. Why? Because – and I’m talking a fraction here, like 3% of this level – they know the value of things. If they toss it, if it’s free, people treat it like garbage. And they can’t just toss it because “it” – hard won things – have value to them. They want YOU to value it, love it, appreciate it, care for it, as they do. They’d probably give you a car or pay your child’s tuition if they could figure out how without getting entangled. Pitch them. Write a personal note for 3% interest, paid due, etc. So 3 in 100, it’s not that hard to find them, and you have. 3 in 100? That’s deals all day long should you need to chase them.

    There’re plenty of a-holes, idiots, misers, and so on in the “rich” – who the real rich wouldn’t even call “lower class” – but so? There are as many in every other class too. Like they say, “If you think money is the root of all evil, you haven’t seen poverty.” That the low-down and hard driven are good, honest, salt of the earth people is a myth for novelists, raised in the middle class. It’s tough living and no joke, with abuse enough to go around.

    What T4 says isn’t wrong: the game is rigged. Therefore it’s rigged in your favor. There are exploits crooked idiots set for themselves, but once allowed they have to let you in too. Not all of them might be moral, but if you know yourself, enough to make a fortune on. And here I’ve been telling about crypto all this time, and Theta has gone from 10c to $6.00 since 2020. So $500 = $30,000, and I know you can get $500. Tomorrow this door is shut and a new exploit opens. Now I wouldn’t buy Halliburton or Tesla to make $30k, but Theta is flattening a peer-to-peer internet so Comcast can’t censor it. Sounds like a win. Turned out to be easier than flipping Free Furniture on Craigslist. $500 wouldn’t get you a dresser. $30,000 can get you a Senator.

    …They come cheap.

    Dr.D here’s the problem with the idea that we should not ‘point a gun at the rich’ to make them share their wealth: invariably their wealth was achieved thru support of public funding or thru the use of what would be considered the property of the commons. Think of those first movers who took control of fossil fuel resources – who decided that these should just go to the guys who put the first straws into yye ground? Where is the moral argument for this? Businesses benefit from publicly funded infrastructure of all kinds – for all modes of transport, education of their workforce, healthcare, regulatory framework; security. Without all of these things (subsidized by tax payers) they would not be able to operate. It is wilful blindness to ignore this. The wealthy (whose wealth was accumulated thanks to collective infrastructure m) absolutely must be expected to share their wealth.
    On the abhorrent puppy experiment: folks, much health-related research is done with animals – this ain’t new under Faucci. I could make you want to vomit a lot more if you want to hear more stories; but what are we doing about the testing of drugs and treatments that involve non-human animals? Don’t some of us want non-human animal testing before we try stuff on humans? How morally-acceptable is this?

    @Germ: Yes, i read that article a few days ago and thought well of it.

    @Dr.D: What is the $30 tool. I have several like that from the late 1970s.
    Glad you told us more about your life. Whatever you call it, humans always have to keep adjusting economic arrangements, because everything in the economy, and every participant, keeps changing.

    TT4TW said last night: ” while it is an ugly truth, the modern US military was misused to attack countries without a BIS, Inc. central bank such that the OWNERS of the BIS, Inc. debt-based money system could seize control of their central bank and begin to subjugate the people in question. Freedom was just rhetoric.
    This is literally the history of 20th and 21st Century warfare — BIS central bank financed countries defeating non-BIS central banking countries, and then installing a BIS central bank.”

    I have read that one major purpose of WW-1 was to crack all of the little cantons of Europe open to banking. I have seen nothing to dissuade me from accepting that assertion.

    “A Rothschild” pontificating on what psychedelic drugs to use, declared that:
    “Synthetics, such as LSD-25 and its derivatives are useless noise.
    DMT is the real deal. Ayuasca is one route, but requires rigorous rituals prior which most ignore.
    From February 1986 High Times: https://hightimes.com/culture/dmt/
    DMT, ‘The Lunch-Hour Psychedelic’

    Anybody here drop 200 mics or more of LSD-25? Did you get wordless, unable to utter more than 3 words? Would you describe your experience as “useless noise”.
    What A POSEUR! “A Rothschild” is not man enough to Trip-on-Acid. He (I presume) needed the safe little in-and-then-done “businessman’s high” of DMT. I’m not saying it’s “bad”. I don’t personally know. People say nice things about it.
    DMT does not seem to directly threaten the Ego. LSD strips it naked and chases it through the streets.
    Mushrooms are less edgy. Look for the cow patties in the right places. “The medicine” in Native American Church is treated with due reverence, but especially the spirits and bodies of the members of the Church, and any visitor (fully prepared and tested) are held in complete and loving-healing reverence, with patience…
    I have had no inclination to use anything from pot or beer to “entheogens” since spring of 1994. The shaman (Paul) said he didn’t see that I would need another one. He discerned my prior LSD trips as “an edge” on my spirit, and specifically inquired if I had tripped on acid.
    I’m human and soul and living this path , now.
    Any drug is not a path.
    It may be a “door of perception”, but you have to keep doing your work and seeking guidance.

    Down here at the arse end of the world the MSM is now trying to convince people to not exercise their right to access the publicly available VEARS information on the Deadly Vaccine.
    A report (@11:50 mins into https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/one-news-at-6pm/episodes/s2021-e297 – registration req,) but not reported elsewhere on their news site, so it is not searchable introduced use to a vax hesitant primary school teacher (who is required by mandate to get double vuxxed by next month to keep her job) who saw the Provisional Consent to the Distribution of a New Medicine
    https://medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/Comirnaty-Gazette-Jun-2021.pdf
    And became even more concerned after seeing all the Adverse Effects of Special Interest that have been reported.
    The article then interviews an immunization specialist who states “The Pfizer vaccine is provisional over questions of like how long lasting it is not the safety”… ‘strokes and heart-attacks are not proven..”

    This comes at an important time to discredit the medsafe website as the most important report to date will come out this week – The Monthly “Observed-versus-expected analyses” of the Deaths reported due to Vaccination was first created in report #28 (published 29 Sept, with data through to 11 Sept)
    But note that the observed vs expected analysis was:
    Observed-versus-expected deaths a by age group from any cause, up to 21 days after dose 1, 19 February 2021 to 30 June 2021

    So, with the next monthly analysis of expected DEATHS vs actual deaths due this week (where the time frame DOES NOT INCLUDE the massive increase in vaccinations since August 17 – see my previous comment by clicking on my username to see all posts). This timeframe will not be fully analyzed until January at the earliest.

    Be on the watch for further denigration in the MSM of the only place we can get information that is not propaganda on how bad these – I hesitate to call them vaccines – Untested, Provisionally Approved, Medical Treatments – actually are.

    “What does poverty in Capitalism have to do with Socialism? Yes, it has the poor, “for the poor are always among us.” So does every alternative, Socialism as much as anyone…”

    Why, Dr D, let me acquaint you with an economic reality that perhaps you have not spent a great deal of time dwelling upon.

    Many years ago one of my kids’ elementary schools had “family nights” once a month. I was still married to the children’s father then, but he elected to never accompany us to one of these “family nights.” I went alone with 3 young children. There would be activities meant to bolster kids’ learning or promoting family togetherness or in celebration of a holiday. There were always refreshments: a slice of pizza, a cup or bottle of water, and a cookie. Every month, the families would queue up to receive their pizza and cookie. They always had more than enough pizza and cookies, so after everyone had gone through the line, anyone who wanted seconds would go up to the table and get another slice of pizza or another cookie. Sometimes, they had so much extra pizza that we took home an extra pizza.

    One month, a special activity was planned. This school was PreK – 8th grade, and the 6-8th graders were sponsoring a math activity where the older kids would be “vendors” and all of the younger kids would be “buyers.” The younger grades would learn how to count money and count change. When we entered the doors of the cafeteria, each child was issued an envelope filled with an equal amount of “money.” There was a festive atmosphere inside. More people had come to this activity than most family nights. Unsurprisingly, I lost track of my three kids, ages 5, 7, and 7, but soon subsequently located each one. This happened more than once during the activity. The kids were bustling about, buying access to activities and games, buying plants, buying all sorts of things. They bought candy. There was more food available at this event than at any prior event – there was the usual pizza and cookies, but there were other drinks, and sweets, and more.

    After about 45 minutes of this I realized that I was hungry. We usually ate at these events, and trying to get dinner beforehand would make us late, so I would make the event dinner for the evening. I had eaten nothing for hours. It suddenly occurred to me that I was unable to obtain any food at event – because I had not been issued scrip. The only way for me to obtain any food was to ask one of children to “purchase” food for me.

    I located each of my three children. I found out from each of them that, yes, they had already eaten. They were willing to purchase me some food, so we approached the food selling location, but, much to the chagrin of my growling stomach, the food was all gone. It had already been purchased. As the children and I left the school that evening, I pondered what I had just experienced – how it is to be impoverished in a market system, unable to obtain what you need from the market, while all around you people are enjoying the bounty. This was a few years before my own poverty began, when I was living a more typical “middle class” life.

    Very often, proponents of capitalism decry other economic models as full of rampant “rationing” and claim that capitalism is not a rationing system. Capitalism champions markets. Markets *are* a rationing system, just as “first come, first serve,” is a rationing system, and so are raffles, “drawing sticks,” and “to each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities.” Each rationing system has its merits and its detractions, and each has its place. Most would agree that a market system of rationing has no place within a nuclear family. (The Star Trek universe explored the concept of using capitalism within families with the Ferengi race.)

    Markets can be a very good way to ration excess goods and services and non-essential goods and services. In these types of interactions, the “invisible hand of the market” tends to lead the buyers to the sellers. However, markets can be terrible a terrible means to ration life’s necessaries – what tends to happen is that the wealthy acquire these goods and services in quantities in excess of what they actually need, while those who are impoverished struggle to obtain what they need to survive. This situation persists even when there are surpluses of the goods and services needed for survival – in fact, market systems of rationing can create the appearance of scarcity for those who have little access to resources when, in fact, there is more than enough to go around.

    Thomas Piketty’s book, Capital in the 21st Century, analyzes how capitalism inevitably moves towards greater and greater disparities in income and wealth in a given population.

    Yes, it is true that slavery also includes poverty, and so does feudalism and mercantilism. But not all systems do – in hunter and gatherer societies, there does not appear to have been poverty or significant disparity of wealth. In the Polynesian “Potlatch” culture, gifting is a large component, and those who give are seen so positively by this society that those with the most social stature may be those who give the most, and therefore who have the least materially.

    Regarding poverty in socialism…most “socialist” societies today are utilizing “democratic socialism” – what was advocated by Bernie Sanders and is common in Western Europe. The actual economic system is clearly capitalism, and the government comes in and creates a lot of laws to regulate and provide services to all of the citizens. That is a political system, and not a “socialist” economic system. There are several countries that self-identify as “communist.” In the case of the USSR, China, and Cuba, all three countries were invaded by the capitalist countries shortly after forming. The USSR had just suffered WWI, then got invaded by the US and her allies, and then suffered under WWII. The USSR started out as a primarily agrarian economy that was still organized along feudal lines. Much of the poverty stemmed from those economic realities. China was also very backwards economically when it became Communist. However, since it has been welcoming in Western businesses and practices the past few decades, it can hardly be called “socialist” in an economic sense. It is, essentially, a state where a single party controls the economy through fiat, through edict. Inside this framework, it runs primarily along capitalistic lines, although private capitalists can be “unmade” by government policies at a whim of the Communist Party. Cuba is hardly an example of “poverty caused by socialism” – and neither is Venezuala – as in both cases, they are tiny countries, and the US has created trade embargoes to deliberately crush the economies of both nations. Who knows what might have surfaced had they been allowed to simply “try out” their intention of socialism, rather than being bullied by the United States? (It seems that this bullying has followed nearly every attempt at socialism – starting with the short-lived Paris Commune, threatened from day one, and destroyed when it was invaded from without.)

    I’ve always wondered why the capitalists were so terrified of socialism in the first place? Why are they so threatened? What is wrong with allowing it to “try itself out?” – if it doesn’t work, it will simply fall apart, with no outside help. Free people should be at liberty to craft the economic system that they wish to live within. If it works, great. If it fails, then they will adapt. Either way, we can all learn from the experiment.

    I am not advocating that we abandon our economic culture(s) and adopt the economy of a hunter/gatherer tribe or of the Potlatch system or theoretical socialism – or some purified form of capitalism. However, I believe that it is important not to fall into the trap so aptly described by Voltaire in Candide a few centuries past, assuming that our current system is “the best of all possible worlds” – or, that with just a few tweaks it would suddenly become the best of all possible worlds. I also do not believe that converse is helpful – whichever system I despise, be it socialism or communism or feudalism or slavery – is, of necessity, “the worst of all possible worlds.” If we are going to come well out of the horrendous crises we currently find ourselves in – so aptly represented today by the circumstances being lived by our peer, Oxymoron, in Australia – we do ourselves a service by studying different systems and learning from them, so that we may craft a better system together. A good starting point is the rally of the French Revolution: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Any system that we move towards – be it economic, political, etc., should incorporate these principles.

    I found your comment beautiful

    Any drug is not a path.
    It may be a “door of perception”, but you have to keep doing your work and seeking guidance.

    @Dimitri: The gift of LOVE comes from the Hearts of Lovers – despite their physical size and shape. Do you not think that the Dads efforts/results far outweigh (no pun intended) their “packaging”? Notice how easy it is to minimize a BRAVE effort by focusing on a perceived flaw? One could also dismantle/dismiss their Gift by wondering why the Dads weren’t at work working or by nagging to know who is managing them. Beware of the petty ego mind trying to beat down the success of others.

    I also noticed the weight of several Dads and found myself thinking – I hope nothing gets in the way of their success (knowing that quality of life and longevity are potential impacts to being overweight) – b/c we really need these guys! With a vision for what’s possible + renewed PURPOSE, the Dads lives will surely change in new and unexpected ways. It’s called reshaping (pun intended) the future by EMBRACING the PRESENT.

    Funding the Dads on Duty project would be something I would invest in. Getting positive male energy into the schools/community (at ground level) benefits everyone.

    I was not trying to beat down their success. That’s why I called them brave. Obesity is bad for your health. It’s bad for your children’s health. Would you have the same opinion if you saw these dads doing coke?

    @TT4TW, thank you for all the information. In had a blood test a year ago and there was no ferritin level
    number on it , but there was TG and HDL, so I divided the numbers and it was higher then 3, so according to you I have high iron level in me. So first thing I did was to book blood donation. My problems are rheumatoid arthritis which I live with without taking any drugs, but lately it has become worse, and the other problem is that my hearing is getting worse and lately I had few ear infections.
    So again , thank you very much.

    From Charles Hugh Smith weekly Musings report (apologize if this link has made its rounds here):

    “According to the model they derived from the data, reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 under endemic conditions would likely occur from 3 months and 5.1 years after peak antibody response, with a median of 16 months. This is less than half the time for other endemic human-infecting coronaviruses (e.g., HCoV-OC43 was associated with 15 months to 10 years).”

    Better keep the IVM supply close at hand. My recent resupply order has been arriving randomly (the 6mg arrived in CA in 2 weeks, only 1 0f 5 boxes 12mg has made it, and the 3 mg package is “in customs”.

    @phoenixvoice: a thoughtful reply to Dr. D and excellent overall musing on the CvS ism situation. Your personal experiences are deeply informative and I LOVE how you go beyond the experience by interpreting and integrating the lessons/learning into your daily living. Sister you are amazing!

    @Dr D — nothing said about socialism, communism, and capitalism as applied to the real world can be true, BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY EXIST!!!

    What does exist are Money Power Fascist governments with different “veneers” used to deceive their respective populations. Every country is Money Power Fascist in nature, bar none.

    Try to name a single country where the government and the mega-corps. are not aligned with the group of people who controls the societal money system. Just one — name it!

    Name a country where the Money Power in that country does not wield control over the government and the mega-corps that the Money Power financed into being!

    It doesn’t exist!

    The Money Power Fascists PROGRAMMED the masses to falsely think in terms of capitalism, socialism, and communism… that’s an obvious psy-op!

    “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”
    ~Confucius

    The rabble needs to take back language from the dElites… don’t let them use language to frame the arguments as they wish… let’s take back language and DISCLOSE THE TRUTH!

    For example, white privilege does not exist, rather, what exists is black oppression. Being treated without bigotry is NOT a privilege, even if the Money Power would mind control the masses into thinking it is. Being the victim of bigotry based on skin color is OPPRESSION, NOT THE NORM.

    @Pete 47 — Thank you for being interested. I love sharing this type of information, and the problem is people so locked into an ideology they are not capable of discernment. While I highlight the work of Morley Robbins as the #1 level to switch to move one’s metabolism in the correct direction, the lever that had the most notably perceived benefit in a short period of time was actually the anti-inflammatory Zone Diet. When I started that, I felt amazing! It eventually wore off, though, due to chronic relational stress (pathologically narcissist people really are an abomination of desolation… let the reader of Daniel be aware…) and eventually mineral imbalances (bio-copper and magnesium depletion).

    If you are looking for short term symptom relief, I would do the following:

    1. Buy OmaPure IFOS 5-Star Fish Oil from OmaPure.com. If you buy 3 bottles, the prices is very good for what you get. It is part of the Zone Diet protocol, and I’ve personally witnessed some amazing anti-inflammatory correlates. For example, my very athletic friend told me that he was playing tennis pain free for the first time in his life in his mid-40’s… and he’s been playing tennis since high school. He always had a sore shoulder when he played — even as a teen. No more. He was also playing on 3 flag football teams, some of them with retired college players, and at least one NFL player, so these were not scrub level teams. He was QB on all three. At the time, his mixed doubles tennis team earned a birth in the USTAA tournament in Arizona, and his team won the only match his team had him play.
    A coworker had a terrible stuttering problem. We are talking 2-3 seconds of delays getting certain words out. He was in his early 30’s. Within 2 weeks of starting with OmaPure, 90% of his stuttering disappeared. I suspect his brain had some inflammation interrupting how it functions, and the OmaPure resolved most of it.
    Balancing healthy proteins, healthy carbs, and healthy fats at every meal is also very anti-inflammatory. Effectively, you want to reduce your systematic inflammation. Iron is a key root cause, but elevated insulin from too many carbs or total calories at a given meal (glycemic load == insulin response) plays a key role, too. Learn what Dr. Barry Sears teaches about balancing your macronutrients. It goes a long way to promoting satiety and a general feeling of wellness and balance. This makes eating properly really easy, and eventually it makes eating out of balance something that actually makes you feel bad.

    The Zone Body Fat Calculator — https://zonediet.com/resources/body-fat-calculator/

    Certain fats promote inflammation as well, which is addressed by the OmaPure fish oil to a degree. I ONLY fry with clarified butter (ghee) or animal fats. I won’t even fry with butter — the milk solids burn and then you eat the burnt milk solids, and your body is taxed trying to get rid of it. Why tax your body? Free it up by following “natural law.” I also don’t overcook — I lightly fry.
    Vegetable oils are pretty much toxic out of the factory. Fats the Heal and Fats that Kill is a good book about fats. I use Udo’s Oil, too, but I vacuum seal it and store it in the fridge to keep it as fresh and unoxidized as possible.
    Your body is amazing — if you do the “nutrient math,” none of us should really be alive today. The Rothschilds believe that nutrients transmute in the human body — you can live decades ingesting almost no magnesium because your body will take the crap you ingest and transmute it into magnesium it needs to use, but this comes with “friction,” and it is a process that can only last so long.

    Let me know what REAL FOODS you like to eat and I will whip up some meal suggestions for you.
    Dr. Barry Sears is right when he says that “food is the most powerful drug you will ever take.” It really is — for better, or for worse.

    When a sick man marries a woman, his contribution to that marriage will be sickness.

    When that marriage raises children, their contribution to the children will be sickness.

    When that family goes to church, their contribution to that church will be sickness.

    When that family enters the community, their contribution to that community will be sickness.

    Ignoring the sick man is societal suicide as history has proven time-after-time, after-time, after-time…

    @ dr d
    Wow…
    So all I needed to do to escape poverty was to throw $500 into every crypto out there and some of them will turn into goldmines?
    Wow, what would it be like to have $500 that could be gambled with?
    It’s so fun eating imaginary cake.

    @PH: predictions are difficult… especially about the future… lol

    The crypto casino is just one of the most obvious signs that the debt-based money bubble is near its apex. The debt-based money bubble is the mechanism that results in the deflationary depression that assets strips the globe (coming soon).
