I'm 74...5'11" 165 lbs. Haven't seen a doctor since 2003.... Absolute parasites I called them until 2021...now I add the word murderer to most...not all but I'd say 50% don't give a fuck at all
69...5'8" 135 lbs. Haven't seen an MD in 20 years. I see a Naturopath (who is also a homeopath) a couple times a year, and occasionally a chiropractor, a massage therapist and an acupuncturist for tune-ups. I eat an organic, from scratch diet and use supplements such as vitamins B, C, D3, magnesium, etc. I take no pharmaceuticals.
And the big kicker is that I haven't had anything injected into my body since the age of 10 1/2 after an adverse reaction to a vaccine (bioweapon).
5'10", 165 lbs. No doctor in... no idea how long. No flu in 25+ yrs, no COVID, no jab, no problem. Never EVER had any big pharma mafia prescriptions beyond 10-day antibiotics.
I'm an engineer. I work on complex systems that are imperfect. I understand how to learn how they work and how to find the root cause of problems. The body is more complex than any man-made system. But the same techniques can isolate root causes. ADDING POISONS TO A COMPLEX SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY ROOT CAUSE.
OK, sorry for shouting. I'm also very lucky. I can't stand to be indoors, and I live in the south where sunshine is prevalent. I ran barefoot all summer in my youth. I repair and build everything myself. So without thinking I've naturally done all the natural things to have a healthy body. Some good decisions, mostly my good fortune.
The best way to make a lasting change is to break the path to your destination into small, sustainable improvements. Take a sustained step in the right direction 2-3 times a year, and in a decade you've made a big change.
Psychology matters. The first few changes should be low-hanging, visible improvements that you will notice every day after making the change, which will keep you moving forward. Just keep making small changes in the right direction.
Not so much luck, James, as critical thinking, and some very good ideas. Yes, go barefoot, especially in the garden. If one eats eggs from free-ranging hens, you will be protected from tetanus in your local soil. The immunity will be in the eggs.
Your best point is to avoid the medical mafia. Only doctor visit for me was for a broken wrist in 1988. Since I bagan sunbathing in 2011 (sun lamps in winter) no colds or flu. The fear mongering about sunlight, was the last propaganda to go, for me.
I golf barefoot. It's the greatest feeling to walk on the greens barefoot.
People laugh at me too for it, but since I'm a good golfer they don't laugh long.
But the people I play with are there to have fun and we laugh for 4 hours straight.
It keeps us healthy and you can't beat the exercise for maintaining mental physical coordination. I go barefoot in my garden too. It seems to be essential to connect with the earth. It's like exercise is necessary to sweat out toxins, cooking with garlic for the spirit, music, having grand kids around, gardening, work, and lots of laughter,
Not just the essential grounding contact with the earth, but the skin absorbs heathy microbes from the soil. I eat one garlic clove a day.
A sauna is one of the healthiest habits one can engage in. I grew up in a rural community surrounded by Finnish immigrants. All the old timers had their own saunas. Our neighbors would fire up their sauna every Saturday morning, and stoke the fire all day. We had a standing offer of Saturday night sauna. First the sweet old lady would stuff us with sweet buns in her huge kitchen...then a purifying sauna. Walking home looking at the stars, so clear in the frosty night, listening to the coyotes making an unholy racket (two coyotes can sound like 20) and feeling so relaxed and super clean...is one of the few good memories I have of my childhood.
Btw; there was a study done on what three things were associated with long life. This included countries across the world. The answer: singing, dancing... and playing golf! I always wanted to learn, but never found anyone to teach me.
I love it. I used to play golf barefoot ... the blistering Texas heat made it thinkable. Once I snapped to all the chemicals sprayed on the course, I stopped doing it. Now I walk barefoot on the beach in retirement, but that feeling on the golf course was amazing, you are correct! ~~ j ~~
I was greenskeeper at our course so I did the spraying and warned people when that was happening. There are a few of us who like the barefoot golf feel. 3 or 4 ladies golf barefoot and I see one or two guys. I clean all the T-boxes and mow so there are very few broken tees,
and that's never been a problem. We don't spray boxes or fairways except rarely. Wearing sandals makes it easy to slip on and off. The funny thing this year is that I golfed more than ever in my life Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. and March. and I live in Minnesota. The course is closed but we let people walk the course free of charge.
Jack Tiscione: I'm 72 ... 6' 195 lbs. When I fell and smashed my hip it cost me some mobility and exercise but I'm still trying. I was doing great until I tripped and fell.
one BILLION percent correct there. Thanks Not only for recovery but as a way of life. Helps overcome mental issues as well. Taking control over your appetites and self denial. Not very American 2.0
I've got you beat in spades. I'm not even 65, 150 lbs, and by the time I am 74 I will not have walked into a doctor office for 51 years.
(Include the dentist in that regimen. Since I quit the dentist in 1985, I have only had two teeth pulled- and they were both ones that were "fixed" by my dentist during childhood. Cavities- add them to the racket.)
went fishing with a guy in lake Ontario 86 years old and he rattled off a list of guys he knew that refused to go to a doctor and now are dead. he also said I forgot more then I mentioned. I am not talking about checkups he was saying when something is wrong you have to go
I've met those kind, too, SPQR70AD. They are similar to those on message forums who berate people questioning mass shooting events by saying, "My sister's cousin's uncle went to school with one of the victims," or similar claims. Of the people I've known, those most faithful to the Medical Industrial Complex seem to be the sickest. There are always going to be exceptions. Thanks.
I was turkey hunting got bit by a tick got lyme disease. what was I supposed to do? not go to a doctor to get anti biotics? in 2 hours my fever and tiredness went away. if you do nothing about lyme disease you have severe permanent injury.
when doctors dont know what is wrong with you that is when they can harm you. when they know exactly what is wrong they can fix it it. a broken limb a bullet wound stitching a big gash even heart attacks. first physical I ever got I was 59
I could not LOVE (and simultaneously hate) your diatribe more! You’ve summed up our pathetic state of affairs perfectly. I’m noticing my inability to tolerate the presence of those who cannot or will not acknowledge all of this insanity. My circle is rapidly shrinking as you can well imagine.
I hear you completely! They call me a conspiracy theorist, like that term hasn't over-run its course. The only mostly sane people I can now talk to are those in small town America. Let the rest of the world have their 15 minute cities.
Conspiracy theorist is an inflated term. Most of us, like 95%, are students of conspiracy pundits who in turn analyze conspiracy theorists. What we, rank and filers, think and write is seldom original. At best, we're still pondering possibilities, not breaking new ground. Sometimes we get off a good quip or two. Might even connect a couple of dots. Thumbs up, brothers and sisters! Such efforts reinforce others to stay the course.
When I think about actual theorists, I notice even when they are original like David Icke, they may be wrong, deluded in their originality. Nobody's going to get it all right. Just trying to keep the discourse real, not black pill anybody.
Yeah, they injected the term into public discourse as a putdown, but over time it's worn out its welcome, lost its sting. People in our community don't mind the branding and the lackadaisical populace know they're going to hear something more entertaining from us than the usual crud.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am a conspiracy student of conspiracy researchers, though I do like to take a mug punt at some of the stuff that does not make sense without some wild conjecture. then it starts to make sense (rense and verstappen et al - something not human).
Conspiracy theorists should include the folks who keep yammering about the "J6 Insurrection." They call it a conspiracy and made a theory about it. Our MSM are conspiracy theorists.
Conspiracies happen all the time. Just because someone has a hypothesis or theory about one doesn't make it untrue. Conspiracy theory should not be a pejorative.
I’m sure y’all are following what is happening to Steve Baker from the Blaze. His only crime is attempting to expose the TRUTH by presenting facts and video that supports these facts. He’s a really nice guy who doesn’t deserve any of this.
Totally! I even had an argument with someone (degreed professional) about what a theory means. I couldn't believe the stupid thing he said, how a theory was an actual fact. LOL Perhaps all these nutjobs who claim they are another sex are conspiracy theorists. LOL
I wish they would have another plandemic and require masks to make the sheeple easier to identify. One of the things I loved about 2020 was I knew who I could identify with- the chap not wearing his face diaper.
My jury is far from in on whether "shedding" is real. Now, I think it is far more likely the quaccines are altering natural body frequencies, which most people know very little about. That is probably what is causing most of the symptoms.
People need to get it through their skulls that "germ theory" is completely fake and ghey. Go to the "Spacebusters" channel on Bitchute and watch his presentation on the Corona scam. Read what Drs Kaufmann and Lanka have to say about the subject.
What irks me about Jeff Rense is he will have some shill or other and run with the ideas before getting a contrarian opinion and doing some critical thinking. Rense has a lot of good stuff but you have to do some work to extract the diamonds from the horse manure.
Meanwhile, I am not going to live as though everybody has bubonic plague. If I drop dead, I drop dead. (They'd be doing me a favor at this point. Most of me is ready for those Pearly Gates.)
What blows me away is all these super rich famous people, like Michael Landon and Patrick Swayze, who lost their lives to "Cancer". I see this all the time in the obits. So and so died from Cancer. No, they died from the treatment of Cancer. With ALL their money, they couldn't find the natural way to heal themselves? Patrick looked like an old, old man when he passed. Extremely sad. The obits should read that these people were murdered because they had Cancer. Healthcare is Deathcare.
I watch a lot of these real cop arrests on YT and they are so quick to whip out their guns and shoot down someone. Sure, some of it is legit, but these perps act so deranged, like a rabid dog. So many fine folks are going off the deep end and I think its because of all the polluted food, air and water. Besides the over-consumption of drugs and alcohol.
Speaking of Medicare, which I now have, they won't cover the costs for me to see a holistic doctor. Why not? They are licensed. They have a college degree. Why can't any natural supplements be also covered? All these effing women out there screaming "my body, my choice", somehow that doesn't apply to people who really care about their health and bodies?
Our tax dollars are going towards these constantly obese, sickly, mentally deranged fine folks we now have to deal with in our society. Including those who are so sexually confused. And I am not going to call these idiots them, they, it or whatever. You're a him/her, he/she. If I was a parent and had a child who was confused, their blood would be drawn to see how much testosterone or estrogen is in their blood. Maybe start there. Stop jabbing your babies, Folks. Take away their idiot laptops and cell phones and get them outside to play, like normal children used to.
One of my nephews was on Ritalin and his doctor upped his dosage. He had thoughts of suicide. He is now off that crap. He has serious anger problems caused by a drug/alcohol induced father and a stupid mother, my sister. They both had bad cocaine habits back in the day. Its no wonder her two kids are lazy mofos. I just stay away. You never know what will set off the one with anger issues. Neither can hold down a job so live with Mommy who pays their way in life. I told her, when you get too old to support them anymore, they'll throw your ass to the curb in a heartbeat. Yep, another one with that deer in the headlights look. I am not the Savior of the World and I've pretty much run out of breath and energy to talk to them anymore. Do as Thou Wilt.
Another reason for me to get the hell out of Dodge. I see way too many crazies out there now. You can't even look at someone before they explode into a blood curdling rage. People dress like they just got out of bed. Most can't even bathe. If you don't have any sel-respect, you're sure as hell are not going to respect anyone else.
A fantastic rant. Fran. I hope you're not paying one penny extra to Medicare. They automatically enroll one in the "free" hospitalization (I certainly won't be using mine), but paying them ANYTHING is a waste.
Its sinful for older folks to have to pay so much for Medicare, can't get the proper care, then they give millions to all these illegal invaders. I receive letters how Medicare wants to send over someone to my house just to have an "assessment". No way in hell. I know where this will lead (meaning take jabs, or else). I don't play threats. That letter always goes into the garbage. All this forced medical coverage is total BS. The holistic doctor I do speak to I have to pay out of pocket.
And it's an awful deal! You are getting money back that you paid into the system, and they're still charging you a monthly fee. And only covering 80%, which is nothing for anything big in our sinfully expensive system. Thanks, Fran.
What kills me is taxing the crap out of me for my Social Security while all these Invaders get their stuff for free. No Charge! Washington is a Criminal Cabal. Bring back Al Capone and he'd probably straighten them out!
You are surprised Medi-Don't-Care will not fund holistic health. Seriously? It's all of a feather with "Warp Speed". The goal of the whole medical racket is to "watp speed" you into a coffin the minute you turn 65, right after the Jews who run the nursing home have separated you from every last nickel of any inheritance you can bequeath your children.
LOL - like I don't know that; like I haven't known that for years. I've seen what my mother went thru and along with others. I know what good nursing homes cost.
I smoked too. Now just vape. Yea, I know. Not the best choice, but coughing up phlegm is gone. Patrick smoked quite a bit I believe. Sorry to hear you lost friends due to smoking. My oldest sister had heart surgery and she smokes those "natural" Indian cigarettes thinking they are healthy. Let her have more heart surgery. I am done with talking to her about it.
I drink maybe one or two Corona's a week (it was my joke a couple of years ago with all this covid crap, I'd tell people that, Yea, I have the Corona. Corona Extra). Thats all my body can handle. Back in the day, I was a real party girl. The body now says, You're restricted, Honey!
Only you can determine to quit smoking, or anything else.No vape, pills, gum, patches. When you decide to get serious you can do it . Mind over matter. I can't stand the smell of smoke after 25 years of being smoke free.
When I'm ready. I don't like smoke either, its an addiction. It smells up my house and car then you have to worry about hot ashes burning your skin, furniture, or clothes. I did quit eating my Reeses' peanut butter cups, Dark Chocolate. That one was hard. And I no longer buy ice cream.
Addiction is difficult. It requires mental toughness which one must develop on their own. Personally I don't believe any of the previous crutches do anything except develop more dependencies. Cold Turkey reality is you can do it if you truly desire. Good luck the benefits of health are enormous compared to black lung.
Perhaps I rant too much, but with everything awful going on and our lives being flushed down the toilet, I feel I need to speak out. A lifetime of experiences, good and bad, didn't get me this far for nothing. If I can wake up a few people and they pay it forwards, then thats a good thing. I totally believe in the domino effect. Our failure from the murderous and thieving politicians are not going to do a thing except steal more money, lie to our faces, and waste tax dollars on all this farcical in-fighting. I am so sick of it all.
Yes, I hear you, Fran. I carry weariness with me from years of working on Sep 11 truth. To closed minds, deaf ears, and blind eyes.
This current crime came about, in part IMO, because people in America bought the Sep 11 bullshit story, gladly supported the same government whose official story revealed stunning criminal negligence and malfeasance, willingly gave up their 4th Amendment protections to be "safe," while millions more simply thought that what happened in D.C., PA, and NYC had nothing to do with them.
This time around, at least, so many, many more people have "noticed" and are fighting back. I appreciate that, but to me? Our current circumstances evolved over decades? All symptomatic. We had a chance in the early 2000's to reveal what this place had become, but the majority booted it -- and here we are.
Yes, exactly. From an American standpoint, Sep 11 was a litmus test. In contrast to this government and military destroying others in far away places, about which most Americans know nothing or ignore, that crime happened 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆...to them. Yet they still "failed." No outrage at their own country's failure as proudly detailed by the official story. No. Credulity and obedience toward the absurd and the freedom-destroying.
So. Then the Covid® operation. Another absurd, freedom-destroying official story...and the exact same response, for all intents and purposes. Except...this time...Americans aided and abetted the initial crime by committing others against themselves and their fellow Americans. Over a respiratory infection.
Couldn't agree more. I have siblings that won't even try to look at the "lone gunman angle" of the JFK assassination, that it was impossible for the bullshit story that was planted in all the obedient minds. I'll take the opinions and examples presented by sharp shooters, how I have seen the photos of Kennedy being hit from the front, plus what makes sense to me. Besides those that heard 3 or more shots. Like believing that piece of crap lunar module that "supposedly" landed on the moon. A five year old could have built something better using Legos.
Arguing with a friend's husband, I told him from Day 1 after 9-11 that it was no airliner that hit the Pentagon. I thought this engineer was going to blow a rod! The hole would have been much bigger, plus where were all the parts, bodies? And one of the supposed high jackers' ID happened to just "fall" onto the pavement, in clean 100% condition? Everyone is wearing their Dunce hats these days.
I pretty much give up trying to convince anyone of anything anymore. Blinded by whats happening on X or Fakebook or Instagram, their lives must be a sorry mess. The only people who really understand whats going on is those I speak with in small town America.
Why do you think they pushed all these jabs onto the American Sheep? I still see people walking around with those blue paper diapers on their faces. Breathing all those chemicals in those masks. These Illegal Invaders are not forced to do a thing - yet. But their stupid little hinders are on the chopping block next. They don't care about this country, at all, nor understand the history or even care to.
Yes, here we are. Most believe the next president is going to fix the problems. That isn't ever going to happen. It just gets worse. Until one day, it'll all blow up. Can't wait.
Re the JFK assassination, I tell the story in one of my posts about the day my father sat me down to talk about it. It was the day after the NYTimes published the "Warren Report." My father proceeded to explain to me in terms his girl could understand how all of it was impossible, and that yes, people tell lies and then other people print them...
"I thought this engineer was going to blow a rod!" LOL! That's funny, Fran. Thank you for the chuckle on that one. Speaking of engineers, I've got one of those in my family, too. Asked him, given that NIST confirmed the 20 second drop to Earth of both WTC Towers, a basic question.
Setting up my question, I said that since the Towers each had 110 floors -- and even if it were possible for a one-second per floor drop -- that's over a minute and half for the Tower to drop. So, I queried, "What physical conditions do you think had to be in place that day that would enable a 20-second drop for both Towers?" Answer?
He "Pfft'ed" ...and walked away. Without answering.
As for why they pushed this junk on people, I don't know, Fran. Another lesson in blind obedience, to prove (yet again) the cowardice of the majority, to kill and or sicken, to reduce reproductive capacity? All of the above?
As you say, everyone is wearing -- and has been for a long time -- their Dunce hats these days. My hubs says the same thing as you -- it's gonna blow. It's gotta blow -- and he can't wait. He too, as am I -- and you -- is exhausted by it all.
I was 8 yrs. old when JFK was murdered, then I knew when RJK was shot, he was done. It scared me to the core of my soul, being in only 8th grade. Everything felt cold inside of me. My father always said LBJ was involved. Sure, amongst many others. I wish Dad was still alive, boy, could we have a conversation! The funeral was one of the saddest things I've witnessed as a young child.
When LHO said he was a patsy, I knew he was telling the truth. Just his body language and the way he said it. Its funny how you just know things when you're young, yet have no understanding of what it is you know. Gut instinct.
Its great if being educated by a college takes you somewhere really grand in life, but I find most of those types of brainwashed folks have absolutely no common sense. And they can never think outside the box, even if you show them facts. Very closed minded people.
I've had arguments with family about 9-11, telling them to go watch demo experts take down buildings with explosives. The production and results are exactly the same! Buildings on fire usually fall to one side or another, they don't usually fall into themselves. Those fires from airplane fuel isn't hot enough to take down those steel supports and I agree, those floors would not have dropped so quickly like they did without explosives. Especially when numerous people heard explosions. This topic I've tried to bring up and I get poo-pooed, called a nutjob. You know, the entire gambit. My family is extremely quick to label you without even taking into consideration what you're telling them. Without putting on that thinking cap. The only caps they wear are the ones with the propeller on the top.
Same folks who took those jabs, now their sweating over what they did. I warned them, emailing multiple articles to at least read. They hit "delete". Bada bing, bada boom. I no longer even waste my time. Whats the point. I am a Quack. Funny how when I end up right, they NEVER tell me they were wrong. Never apologizing to me. And never asking me to discuss or share further information so they can learn more. One listens to the other and so on. I am only the dumb middle sister who hasn't a clue. Ignore her and she'll go away.
This is why I love to visit small towns and talk to strangers; get a feel what life is like and would I fit in. I've met so many who are the kindest, the most generous who expect nothing other than a Thank you. Its surprising to me that many of these small town "hicks" are very wise to whats going on. I just love these people. Salt of the earth!
Yep, it'll all blow up. I am not going to help those that didn't listen. I've been stocking up on pkgs. of dried and freeze-dried foods. Food will be worth more than gold when the SHTF. Our near future is going to get very interesting, indeed.
(butting in) cousin of mine came here in my third world rural abode once, 2019. Retired, he was a management level civil engineer with a large city utility. told him about architects and engineers for 911 truth (I notice their web page was defunct recently). he went through the usual rapid motions of mock, denial, deafness, anger. had he looked it up , just the dustification and no 107 pancakes, he might not have gone to his death with turbo cancer still mocking conpiracy theorists. Once just has to wash ones hands like Pontious Pilate, only so much on can do.
I used to watch a lot of those cop videos on JooToob too, and they made my blood boil. But then I asked- why is JooToob allowing all of these "copwatcher" videos to be posted? After all, say something against the wonderful quaccines and you get cancelled in a New York second. Obviously, it is all part of the psyop. I would recommend tuning out the videos. They are calculated to make people mad at the cops and the system. We know it is dysfunctional. We don't need it in our face every day.
Moreover, some of those guys, like Freedman, are Operation Mockingbird to the hilt!
I like to keep myself informed where it proves to me the level of evil and how its overtaking people's weak pathetic minds. Have to watch what I say on YT as I've been threatened twice now that I'll be kicked off. It sickens me to read the commenters cheering on these cops, which not are all murderous, but many are. Wait until the cops show up at their front doors for some asinine reason with guns drawn.
Like Gerald Celente says: WWIII will be a nuclear war, and WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Western medicine is rather remarkable with regards to emergency /critical care and (necesary) surgeries. However, they are clueless with most everything else.
The modern stone age medical mafia is a murder machine. Once you get into their clutches, they never let go. So many people have wrecked themselves pretending to be living and then expect "miracle" medicine to keep the going and keep them alive until they hit 105.
No thanks, I no longer trust anyone in the medical community. Almost 74 and refuse to take any big pharma drugs, vaccines and mRNA poisons. I figure my health is pretty much up to me and that I have a good chance of living longer without drugs and doctors than with them.
Like hell I'm going to work all my life to save a few bucks and then let the doctors bankrupt me! If it's war, it's war. I'd rather die than surrender to them.
So true! I was born in 1956 and can't recall an epidemic of chronically sick and obese children in my age group. We were vibrant and active and read books and climbed trees like monkeys and stuff. These days, in my late 60's and single, who could I possibly date? Almost everyone in my age group is old, decrepit and likely on a huge laundry list of pharmaceutical meds, not to mention probably jabbed up with the toxic "vaccines". No way am I going to have intimate relations with some idiot who might be shedding toxic God only knows what! And then there's the huge gulf between those of us who "get it" and those who don't and won't no matter what.
The future is looking bleak for civilization as we've known it. Maybe that's not such a bad thing in the grander scheme. It looks to me like there will probably be a huge die-off and collapse. And then it starts all over again. Like it likely has many times before. We see the signs in archeological remnants. In spite of it all, it's fascinating to be living through such times.
Annette Jordan: I agree but the lockdowns etc. here in the SF Bay Area took all the joy out of life for me. I'll never trust my neighbors again. It's sad.
One of the good reasons for relocating--for those who can--is to find good neighbors. Politics is not enough. Trustworthy neighbors (who don't have TV for brains) are the best preventative against lockdown type insanity.
Annette remember all those kids you ran around with climbed trees with etc were all over the country also. most of them are the ones you see bent over and on a lot of meds
You seem to know it more than you would think. You are quite correct. If interested, look into the earth's 12,000 year catastrophe cycle on Suspicious0bservers(dot)org. YT daily news and playlists of much info. The last one was about 12,000 years ago. Doesn't take a genius to add up 2+2.
Again, I LOVED it all and agree with most of what you said. I agree with your mother and am still walking and talking on my own and know who I am. At the very minimum, I walk outside every day, rain or snow.
Visually, tats are disgusting, hairs coming out of places that they shouldn't, a big need for hair care and jeans with huge holes in them. People pay big $$ for those. They could go to Goodwill, pick up a pair for 10 buck and cut their own holes and put that $130. in the bank. The rampant stupidity is every where. There are next to no manners or thoughtfulness. Young kids have expensive IPhones ( I don't) and credit cards. Unreal.
The world is dangerous thanks to non-thinking voters and going out or driving is no longer fun. Now YOU make me laugh at the brilliant absurdities you point out. The medical profession is revealing itself to the issues you named or we are getting smarter. I have PTSD from a fall last year, a hospital stay and a three week rehab visit. There is another scam. Rehabs. Prior to the event, I was running and taking tennis lessons; I am your mom's age. No one believes it. As to rehabs, too much to go into here but people, skip the rehab and go home. You'll figure it out. Do you think the early settlers had rehabs near the cabins? Never again.
Vicki: After I smashed my hip and got the new hip pin, I never went back to the surgeon or rehab. I went online and figured out how to do the rehab on my own. It worked but I kept overdoing it when I felt better. I even had to go back to the walker for awhile.
Rehab is doing the exercises but listening to the body, too. Don't overdo it. Don't under do it. It's hard to find the balance.
It's quite the indictment of this crack system we pay so much for, Timmy, that you had to figure our your rehab on line. But it's unfortunately SOP. Thanks.
I appreciate the kind words, Vicki. I'm glad I make you laugh. We have to look at the humor here, or we'd just be weeping constantly. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Thanks!
One thing I will say- you have to respect your age. No more running or sports for me. I do walk about 6 miles a day. Good exercise. But older people have more brittle bones and have to be careful.
Don't ask for an injury which might be the death of you.
I think women’s beauty is on life support. Born in 64 and can remember the 70s and 80s hot girls. As I look around today I can’t help but wonder if generations are getting uglier. You couldn’t have a tv show like The Love Boat today
Hot girls will probably never go out of style, Timmy. Unless they succeed in turning them all into boys. But I don't think there is any question that the increased weight alone has made them much rarer than they were 40-50 years ago. Thanks.
Whenever I actually go into a gas station to pay for my gas and get a coffee I watch what people are buying while standing in line. If it’s near lunchtime these folks have their arms full of red bull, gas station pizza or corn dogs. When they get to the register they add a pack of cigarettes and a quarter pint of Fire Ball (cinnamon schnapps). If it’s near the end of the day it’s the same thing as above but add a 12 pack or case of beer. I know this isn’t unique to my neck of the woods. This will keep the hospitals in business long into the future.
It’s my belief everything in our culture is designed to lower life expectancy and reduce birth rates. That’s why abortion is always the rabidly sacrosanct right for every woman in this nation. And I’m with you on the fluoride issue. During WWII it was given to prisoners to keep them docile. Aren’t we the only western nation that still puts it in our water? It is also believed to calcify the pineal gland in your brain. And God bless your 86 year old sister. I’m 71 and I look at some of these guys in their 80’s stooped over shuffling along and I ask myself holy shit is that me in 10 years!!! I pray not.
Yes, gas station food is probably at the bottom of the food chain, right next to 7-11 products, Dennis. Even fast food seems a bit better. My sister became a widow about eight years ago. She is semi-interested in finding a man, but doesn't like the idea of someone much younger than her, and is appalled at the condition of those near her age. Thanks!
Dennis Kelly: We tried to get fluoride out of our town's water with a referendum. We lost 3:1 in the vote. The dentists, hospital, City Council, and the school board were for fluoride.
As I alluded to in the past, worked closely with the medical field for 30 years now and unfortunately Don, you are spot on with everything stated.
So many folks we encounter lead lives that revolve around endless doctor appointments, to numerous 'specialists' and with a list of conditions long as my leg.
Got a few chuckles from the article as well, despite a rather dire topic.
and fyi, around here it is a little over $2k for a ride to the hospital, at least from a car accident scene, and they refuse to take a penny less if you try to negotiate the bill - claiming some gov't code negates any negotiation.
Yeah, I probably underestimated that, jwslaw. I've read how ambulances are free in many other countries. They ought to be considered a public service. Nothing is free in America 2.0. Unless you're an illegal immigrant. Thanks!
Here in Australia there is compulsory 3rd party insurance with vehicle registration. Any road accident ,including compensation is fully covered by this (ie. hospital / ambulance etc.)
Oh, you nailed my maternal grandma, and this was back in the 1970's. She was at the doctor's once a week. And on about 7 different pills. Back then I think they were all sugar pills because she lived for ten more years. The doctors were just milking medicare.
I am 73, 6'1" (185cm) and 168lbs (76kg). I have been the same weight for 50 years - plus or minus 5lbs(2kg).
I was married to an "excellent" lady GP in Australia for 18 years. I never took any vaccines since I was a child. She insisted on vaccines for herself and our 2 daughters. All 3 of these ladies got depression and eating disorders. The youngest girl got anorexia. I think she is now a transsexual.
We got divorced 4 years ago. She just would not change her lifestyle. I was the only healthy person in the house. I am 50 and 55 years older than my daughters.
I moved to Egypt's Red Sea coast. I was born here. The people are poor but normal. Kids play in the streets. No one pays attention to the media and the scare stories. There was no Covid - a PSYOP. There is no gender confusion. People - Muslims and Christians - are believers. It is perfectly safe to walk around alone at night everywhere.
I am looking for a wife from Ukraine or Russia who is 50 years younger than me. Lot of ladies are writing to me. I want to have more kids. To bring them up away from the corrupt West.
My doctor ex-wife is Russian. She is 20 years younger than me. Now, she is 53 and no longer able to replace me with a younger version. But I can replace her with a much younger version. The world is unfair.
They don't teach women that they are the only creatures in the universe that get menopause long before they die. That is so that they can look after their grandchildren. Nature always wins in the end.
I loved our family’s vacation to Egypt a few years ago. Being in a sane culture was so nice. I really didn’t want to come home.
We ended up at the Mall at one point to watch a movie and to get in we had to buy a mask, but once we got in NOBODY in the Mall was wearing a mask. The other nice thing was that the women were just nicely dressed and didn’t have so much skin popping out. Going through airport security it was like COVID didn’t exist. It wasn’t until we transferred planes in Germany that Covid became a thing again.
Sun, I scratching my head here, trying to why figure out why you went to a cinema while on vacation? I'm truly curious, not trying to pick a fight. I haven't been in a cinema in 43 years. PS. I looked at your stack, and you have a beautiful cat.
When I visited Zanzibar (a Muslim island) I was told I could walk down the street at 3am with cash hanging out of my pocket and no one would bother me. I crashed a Vespa into a ditch. A crowd gathered, and a local guy got the Vespa running again, and took it for a test run. One guy said: "Don't worry, we are not thieves" (I wasn't worried). I already had, the first day, a man chase me down to return the watch that had fallen from my wrist. Religious countries with high moral standards, are the safest for travelers.
Thank you for your story. I have been married 33 years, and thankfully my wife is very health conscious (in a good way). However, if God should ever take her, I think I would be praying along the same lines you mentioned. Women my age (50's, 60's) are "old". Even the 20 somethings these days are overweight, unhealthy. Wasn't like this in the 70's.....
I was a student in London in the period 1968-73. London was full of beautiful young White girls. Now, it is another matter.
Also, I spent 4 summer months in California and the USA in 1970. There were so many pretty girls.
Men and women are built differently. As I mentioned in another post, women get the menopause so that they can look after their grandchildren. No other creature on earth lives long after losing the ability to procreate. Try explaining that to Western women.
Men are attracted to younger women for excellent biological reasons. This is no aberration. It is in the design.
In the summer of 1970, I was staying at a fraternity house of UCLA - in Westwood Village. Once, I was walking on a sidewalk. A guy parked a Porsche. A girl got out of her side of the car. She was so beautiful that I could not remove my eyes from her. The driver, an older guy, saw what was happening. He said something like "she did that to me too". I was so embarrassed. I rushed away.
Alfred, just wanted to say that your comments have me cruising around the world. England, California, 18 years Australia, Egypt and the Res Sea! I've traveled the US quite extensively but only outside of it a few times. I used to scuba dive so the Red Sea was always a dream. But just the 'normal' way of living you described there now holds as much interest as the diving did years ago. Thanks, best wishes. (Maine, US)
In the 1970's, allergies exploded. At first, it was hayfever and various pollons. But then it became peanuts, milk, and bread. but nothing to see here folks... move along.
Part of it is that my generation was the first "inside generation" that watched insane amounts of TV. Thank goodness I took to the woods when I was about 4. My grandfather gave me a keyhole saw and said "What can he do with that?" Well, I patiently cut and cut until I felled a tree 40 foot tall. I thought I was deep in the woods but really only about 20 or so feet beyond the yard. The tree pulled down a mass of grape vines that landed right over the fire pit. A great afternoon's work at grandpas.
Great article again Don. I have some food for thought. My wife went on a program of intermittent fasting after reading Jason Fung's The Diabetic Code. To give her moral support I went on the diet regime with her. In five weeks she has dropped twenty pounds and has been able to cut her medication in half. I, even though I thought I was in really good shape for a man of seventy one have lost 12 pounds. The amazing thing is how much extra energy I have. There is definitely extra spring in my step. If you feel you need a boost I suggest you try it.
About 24 ago, I started eating one meal a day, in the evenings. I just got tired of going through all the food prep, and I never really felt hungry until evening. It really came in handy once, far from home, when I was robbed of everything. I didn't feel hungry waiting for money to be wired.
In 2010, one day for fun, I googled: people who only eat one meal a day. That's when I discovered my eating habits were an actual thing, and that it had a name. It sure saves money.
I must have really altered my metabolism, because 12 years ago, when I was really broke, I got up at 4 am, rode my bicycle 11 miles, picked blue berries all day, and then rode 11 miles home. I was fine, as far as hunger went.
Kris: Yes, my wife and I only eat one meal a day but we do eat cereal (bran) as a snack. It does save some money. I read that Americans are now eating cereal at dinner to save money. It's the beer and almond milk that no doubt keep me a bit overweight but I like them.
I agree. No one needs 3 meals a day unless they are doing hard physical labor. I have been eating 2 meals a day for years and my health and body are fine. You can cut back on portions and get rid of extra weight. Drink LOTS of water as it's healthy for you anyway.
For about 10 years, I have been eating just two meals a day- neither very large. And I eat or drink nothign between meals. I gave up the pop about 15 years ago after realizing it is nothign but sugar laced slow poison. Yes, fasting is definitely healthy.
And eat simpler foods too- just some pea soup and a slice of home made bread, or three eggs and a slice of cheese. Cut way down on things like beef and ice cream.
Don ,love your columns, get em from LewRockwell.com. I'm 56, started intermittent fasting during the great unpleasantness a few years ago, and feel a lot better . My best work of the day happens before noon, in my unfed state. Feeding window is noon to 7pm. Non feeding is 7pm to noon. Staying hydrated in the AM is essential ( chase coffee with tea 😁). One of these days I'm gonna get down to one meal a day, and dammit won't it be a good one!
It's tough to get used to. We do 36 hour fasts. A friend of ours plans all his meals to be consumed within 8 hours. It seems to work for him. Maybe the 16 hour break between meals is adequate.
What I would recommend is working your way into it very gradually. First, stop snacking and imbibing beverages all the time. Make beverages a real treat. Next, eliminate processed foods like corn chips and breakfast cereal. Start cooking using basic foods.
Then cut to two meals a day, one much smaller than the main meal. Also avoid a lot of meat. In fact the smaller meal should be meatless.
Planning is a wonderful thing. Eating should never be spontaneous.
Eating every time one "feels hungry" is an invitation to looking like the GoodRich Blimp at 40.
I don't eat any of that processed crap and haven't for many years. As for beverages all I drink is Herbal teas and water. I limit myself to one cup of coffee in the morning (I have to have at least on vice) and no starches. with no flour, no potatoes or rice. Processed sugars are a big no. Even at that you have to question how much of our food sources are GMO. So called organic produce I believe to be just so much bullshit. While I do grow much of my food and harvest game it is probably impossible to find much pure unadulterated food on the market without starving to death.
Thanks for this, though it certainly was not an "upper" (lol). In recent months, as your essay reminds me, I have been beginning to suspect that, although I am not any spring chicken, and I don't think of myself as particularly athletic, I may be walking and talking when many of the people in my world are long gone. Strange days. Off for a brisk walk—
PS My theory about the elderlies with stooping shoulders is that, had they carried some weights around the house and up and down the stairs and such in middle age, their backbones would not have shrunk. (That's what's causing the stooped posture, according to me.) What weights? Well, thinking in evolutionary terms, my guess is that anything that approximates the weight of a healthy toddler. That would be about 20- 30 pounds. Back in the long, long ago of living in tribes in caves and mud-and-wattle huts, if you couldn't pick up, wrestle, and haul around a toddler, as an elderly, you weren't much use to your family; it was probably time for you to go. Seems that nowadays Grandma is more apt to FaceTime with the kidlets from the sofa. Meanwhile, her GP is at-the-ready to order tests and write prescriptions for osteopinea.
Ha ha. Right on topic I just did a little post on the stooped spine on stefatanus.substack.com Yes weight resistance exercise plus natural sunshine and plenty of animal based foods helps prevent osteopenia/porosis.
PS My own Substack is just one total mega downer after the other. Except for the memes a couple times a month, maybe. And except for the videos and transcripts of the few people who stood up and gave their school board / city council / county commissioners deserved blazing hell.
I think you are right. In fact, just yesterday I read an article in the Epoch Times about an exercise called rucking which is just as you described, involving hiking with a backpack filled with weights. Another problem is that we are taught poor posture, which degenerates over time, and medicine has been clueless and indifferent as to how to overcome this.
I think what causes the stooped posture is bureaucat-itis. These people ran desks all their lives, went home to sit in front of the boob tube, and never took a walk in their life.
A friend of mine was feeling down so he went to his beloved doctor who put him on an anti-depressant. A few weeks later he killed himself with a shotgun. The doc still enjoys being a pillar of society. I doubt he even gave it a second thought as to his culpability.
I'm 74...5'11" 165 lbs. Haven't seen a doctor since 2003.... Absolute parasites I called them until 2021...now I add the word murderer to most...not all but I'd say 50% don't give a fuck at all
69...5'8" 135 lbs. Haven't seen an MD in 20 years. I see a Naturopath (who is also a homeopath) a couple times a year, and occasionally a chiropractor, a massage therapist and an acupuncturist for tune-ups. I eat an organic, from scratch diet and use supplements such as vitamins B, C, D3, magnesium, etc. I take no pharmaceuticals.
And the big kicker is that I haven't had anything injected into my body since the age of 10 1/2 after an adverse reaction to a vaccine (bioweapon).
Good to know so many of you are taking care of your own health. Congrats, Gwyneth!
This is the way!
Absolutely, you are in control of your body and it is working.
5'10", 165 lbs. No doctor in... no idea how long. No flu in 25+ yrs, no COVID, no jab, no problem. Never EVER had any big pharma mafia prescriptions beyond 10-day antibiotics.
I'm an engineer. I work on complex systems that are imperfect. I understand how to learn how they work and how to find the root cause of problems. The body is more complex than any man-made system. But the same techniques can isolate root causes. ADDING POISONS TO A COMPLEX SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY ROOT CAUSE.
OK, sorry for shouting. I'm also very lucky. I can't stand to be indoors, and I live in the south where sunshine is prevalent. I ran barefoot all summer in my youth. I repair and build everything myself. So without thinking I've naturally done all the natural things to have a healthy body. Some good decisions, mostly my good fortune.
The best way to make a lasting change is to break the path to your destination into small, sustainable improvements. Take a sustained step in the right direction 2-3 times a year, and in a decade you've made a big change.
Psychology matters. The first few changes should be low-hanging, visible improvements that you will notice every day after making the change, which will keep you moving forward. Just keep making small changes in the right direction.
And avoid the sick care mafia.
Sound advice, James. Thanks!
Not so much luck, James, as critical thinking, and some very good ideas. Yes, go barefoot, especially in the garden. If one eats eggs from free-ranging hens, you will be protected from tetanus in your local soil. The immunity will be in the eggs.
Your best point is to avoid the medical mafia. Only doctor visit for me was for a broken wrist in 1988. Since I bagan sunbathing in 2011 (sun lamps in winter) no colds or flu. The fear mongering about sunlight, was the last propaganda to go, for me.
I golf barefoot. It's the greatest feeling to walk on the greens barefoot.
People laugh at me too for it, but since I'm a good golfer they don't laugh long.
But the people I play with are there to have fun and we laugh for 4 hours straight.
It keeps us healthy and you can't beat the exercise for maintaining mental physical coordination. I go barefoot in my garden too. It seems to be essential to connect with the earth. It's like exercise is necessary to sweat out toxins, cooking with garlic for the spirit, music, having grand kids around, gardening, work, and lots of laughter,
what are doctors for again ?
Not just the essential grounding contact with the earth, but the skin absorbs heathy microbes from the soil. I eat one garlic clove a day.
A sauna is one of the healthiest habits one can engage in. I grew up in a rural community surrounded by Finnish immigrants. All the old timers had their own saunas. Our neighbors would fire up their sauna every Saturday morning, and stoke the fire all day. We had a standing offer of Saturday night sauna. First the sweet old lady would stuff us with sweet buns in her huge kitchen...then a purifying sauna. Walking home looking at the stars, so clear in the frosty night, listening to the coyotes making an unholy racket (two coyotes can sound like 20) and feeling so relaxed and super clean...is one of the few good memories I have of my childhood.
Btw; there was a study done on what three things were associated with long life. This included countries across the world. The answer: singing, dancing... and playing golf! I always wanted to learn, but never found anyone to teach me.
I love it. I used to play golf barefoot ... the blistering Texas heat made it thinkable. Once I snapped to all the chemicals sprayed on the course, I stopped doing it. Now I walk barefoot on the beach in retirement, but that feeling on the golf course was amazing, you are correct! ~~ j ~~
I was greenskeeper at our course so I did the spraying and warned people when that was happening. There are a few of us who like the barefoot golf feel. 3 or 4 ladies golf barefoot and I see one or two guys. I clean all the T-boxes and mow so there are very few broken tees,
and that's never been a problem. We don't spray boxes or fairways except rarely. Wearing sandals makes it easy to slip on and off. The funny thing this year is that I golfed more than ever in my life Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. and March. and I live in Minnesota. The course is closed but we let people walk the course free of charge.
Sounds like you got it figured out ;-). Hittem straight!

Jack Tiscione: I'm 72 ... 6' 195 lbs. When I fell and smashed my hip it cost me some mobility and exercise but I'm still trying. I was doing great until I tripped and fell.
Be careful out there.
For strong bones - weight resistance exercise, sunshine (no sunscreen), animal based diet, no seed oils. Your hip shouldn't break from falling over.
Stephatanus: You weren't there. I was carrying a heavy bag of groceries, off-balance, and couldn't break my fall. I also fell a foot off of the curb.
A lot of things happen that shouldn't.
I jumped the gun a bit there. Apologies and hope you stay well.
No worries.
All that, plus fasting helps recovery also.
one BILLION percent correct there. Thanks Not only for recovery but as a way of life. Helps overcome mental issues as well. Taking control over your appetites and self denial. Not very American 2.0
Very true. Carnivore diet meshes seamlessly with fasting
I've got you beat in spades. I'm not even 65, 150 lbs, and by the time I am 74 I will not have walked into a doctor office for 51 years.
(Include the dentist in that regimen. Since I quit the dentist in 1985, I have only had two teeth pulled- and they were both ones that were "fixed" by my dentist during childhood. Cavities- add them to the racket.)
went fishing with a guy in lake Ontario 86 years old and he rattled off a list of guys he knew that refused to go to a doctor and now are dead. he also said I forgot more then I mentioned. I am not talking about checkups he was saying when something is wrong you have to go
I've met those kind, too, SPQR70AD. They are similar to those on message forums who berate people questioning mass shooting events by saying, "My sister's cousin's uncle went to school with one of the victims," or similar claims. Of the people I've known, those most faithful to the Medical Industrial Complex seem to be the sickest. There are always going to be exceptions. Thanks.
We are all going to die. I'd rather not do it in a hospital.
AMEN to that!!
I refuse to go to a hospital anymore, there quite seriously is a great chance you'll never leave alone.
Memento mori.
everybody can do what they want
I guess you think that people should live forever - if they see a doctor. 😊
where did I say that? when there is something really wrong then you have to go or die. a lot of things go wrong with people in their 40's
You are correct. The medical system is good at acute care. Not so much on chronic conditions like cancer.
I was turkey hunting got bit by a tick got lyme disease. what was I supposed to do? not go to a doctor to get anti biotics? in 2 hours my fever and tiredness went away. if you do nothing about lyme disease you have severe permanent injury.
when doctors dont know what is wrong with you that is when they can harm you. when they know exactly what is wrong they can fix it it. a broken limb a bullet wound stitching a big gash even heart attacks. first physical I ever got I was 59
I could not LOVE (and simultaneously hate) your diatribe more! You’ve summed up our pathetic state of affairs perfectly. I’m noticing my inability to tolerate the presence of those who cannot or will not acknowledge all of this insanity. My circle is rapidly shrinking as you can well imagine.
Thanks, Ellen!
I hear you completely! They call me a conspiracy theorist, like that term hasn't over-run its course. The only mostly sane people I can now talk to are those in small town America. Let the rest of the world have their 15 minute cities.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist - I’m a conspiracy analyst.
Gore Vidal
Conspiracy theorist is an inflated term. Most of us, like 95%, are students of conspiracy pundits who in turn analyze conspiracy theorists. What we, rank and filers, think and write is seldom original. At best, we're still pondering possibilities, not breaking new ground. Sometimes we get off a good quip or two. Might even connect a couple of dots. Thumbs up, brothers and sisters! Such efforts reinforce others to stay the course.
When I think about actual theorists, I notice even when they are original like David Icke, they may be wrong, deluded in their originality. Nobody's going to get it all right. Just trying to keep the discourse real, not black pill anybody.
Years ago, the CIA began using the "conspiracy theory" comments in many MSM articles to discount what they didn't want people to report.
They still do it because it works on a populous that is lazy and dumbed down.
Yeah, they injected the term into public discourse as a putdown, but over time it's worn out its welcome, lost its sting. People in our community don't mind the branding and the lackadaisical populace know they're going to hear something more entertaining from us than the usual crud.
LOL - I have to remember that one!
It has stood the test of time.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am a conspiracy student of conspiracy researchers, though I do like to take a mug punt at some of the stuff that does not make sense without some wild conjecture. then it starts to make sense (rense and verstappen et al - something not human).
Conspiracy theorists should include the folks who keep yammering about the "J6 Insurrection." They call it a conspiracy and made a theory about it. Our MSM are conspiracy theorists.
Conspiracies happen all the time. Just because someone has a hypothesis or theory about one doesn't make it untrue. Conspiracy theory should not be a pejorative.
Or "Russia! Russia! Russia!" Thanks, RE!
I’m sure y’all are following what is happening to Steve Baker from the Blaze. His only crime is attempting to expose the TRUTH by presenting facts and video that supports these facts. He’s a really nice guy who doesn’t deserve any of this.
Totally! I even had an argument with someone (degreed professional) about what a theory means. I couldn't believe the stupid thing he said, how a theory was an actual fact. LOL Perhaps all these nutjobs who claim they are another sex are conspiracy theorists. LOL
'Conspiracy theorist' was a phrase - not invented by but - popularised by the CIA decades ago to distract from their cowardly crimes.
Yes, I am well aware the CIA started this phrase. A pack of psychos.
Worshiping of the white coats really is the religion of the majority.
I wish they would have another plandemic and require masks to make the sheeple easier to identify. One of the things I loved about 2020 was I knew who I could identify with- the chap not wearing his face diaper.
subject to shedding is real. see rense.com and jeff & erica shows on right column
masks will help but nothing trumps Last Man on Earth lifestyle. until we know for sure how this pans out, according to their plans.
My jury is far from in on whether "shedding" is real. Now, I think it is far more likely the quaccines are altering natural body frequencies, which most people know very little about. That is probably what is causing most of the symptoms.
People need to get it through their skulls that "germ theory" is completely fake and ghey. Go to the "Spacebusters" channel on Bitchute and watch his presentation on the Corona scam. Read what Drs Kaufmann and Lanka have to say about the subject.
What irks me about Jeff Rense is he will have some shill or other and run with the ideas before getting a contrarian opinion and doing some critical thinking. Rense has a lot of good stuff but you have to do some work to extract the diamonds from the horse manure.
Meanwhile, I am not going to live as though everybody has bubonic plague. If I drop dead, I drop dead. (They'd be doing me a favor at this point. Most of me is ready for those Pearly Gates.)
What blows me away is all these super rich famous people, like Michael Landon and Patrick Swayze, who lost their lives to "Cancer". I see this all the time in the obits. So and so died from Cancer. No, they died from the treatment of Cancer. With ALL their money, they couldn't find the natural way to heal themselves? Patrick looked like an old, old man when he passed. Extremely sad. The obits should read that these people were murdered because they had Cancer. Healthcare is Deathcare.
I watch a lot of these real cop arrests on YT and they are so quick to whip out their guns and shoot down someone. Sure, some of it is legit, but these perps act so deranged, like a rabid dog. So many fine folks are going off the deep end and I think its because of all the polluted food, air and water. Besides the over-consumption of drugs and alcohol.
Speaking of Medicare, which I now have, they won't cover the costs for me to see a holistic doctor. Why not? They are licensed. They have a college degree. Why can't any natural supplements be also covered? All these effing women out there screaming "my body, my choice", somehow that doesn't apply to people who really care about their health and bodies?
Our tax dollars are going towards these constantly obese, sickly, mentally deranged fine folks we now have to deal with in our society. Including those who are so sexually confused. And I am not going to call these idiots them, they, it or whatever. You're a him/her, he/she. If I was a parent and had a child who was confused, their blood would be drawn to see how much testosterone or estrogen is in their blood. Maybe start there. Stop jabbing your babies, Folks. Take away their idiot laptops and cell phones and get them outside to play, like normal children used to.
One of my nephews was on Ritalin and his doctor upped his dosage. He had thoughts of suicide. He is now off that crap. He has serious anger problems caused by a drug/alcohol induced father and a stupid mother, my sister. They both had bad cocaine habits back in the day. Its no wonder her two kids are lazy mofos. I just stay away. You never know what will set off the one with anger issues. Neither can hold down a job so live with Mommy who pays their way in life. I told her, when you get too old to support them anymore, they'll throw your ass to the curb in a heartbeat. Yep, another one with that deer in the headlights look. I am not the Savior of the World and I've pretty much run out of breath and energy to talk to them anymore. Do as Thou Wilt.
Another reason for me to get the hell out of Dodge. I see way too many crazies out there now. You can't even look at someone before they explode into a blood curdling rage. People dress like they just got out of bed. Most can't even bathe. If you don't have any sel-respect, you're sure as hell are not going to respect anyone else.
Thanks for sharing your valued perspective, Fran.
I did receive a ton of likes on that one, Don. Maybe one day I will break down and write articles. lol
A fantastic rant. Fran. I hope you're not paying one penny extra to Medicare. They automatically enroll one in the "free" hospitalization (I certainly won't be using mine), but paying them ANYTHING is a waste.
Its sinful for older folks to have to pay so much for Medicare, can't get the proper care, then they give millions to all these illegal invaders. I receive letters how Medicare wants to send over someone to my house just to have an "assessment". No way in hell. I know where this will lead (meaning take jabs, or else). I don't play threats. That letter always goes into the garbage. All this forced medical coverage is total BS. The holistic doctor I do speak to I have to pay out of pocket.
And it's an awful deal! You are getting money back that you paid into the system, and they're still charging you a monthly fee. And only covering 80%, which is nothing for anything big in our sinfully expensive system. Thanks, Fran.
What kills me is taxing the crap out of me for my Social Security while all these Invaders get their stuff for free. No Charge! Washington is a Criminal Cabal. Bring back Al Capone and he'd probably straighten them out!
You are surprised Medi-Don't-Care will not fund holistic health. Seriously? It's all of a feather with "Warp Speed". The goal of the whole medical racket is to "watp speed" you into a coffin the minute you turn 65, right after the Jews who run the nursing home have separated you from every last nickel of any inheritance you can bequeath your children.
LOL - like I don't know that; like I haven't known that for years. I've seen what my mother went thru and along with others. I know what good nursing homes cost.
Fran: Patrick Swayze was a lifetime smoker. Those cigarettes killed three of my best friends at the age of 49.
Sure, I drink light beer and my liver suffers but the liver can and does heal itself. The lungs and heart don't.
I smoked too. Now just vape. Yea, I know. Not the best choice, but coughing up phlegm is gone. Patrick smoked quite a bit I believe. Sorry to hear you lost friends due to smoking. My oldest sister had heart surgery and she smokes those "natural" Indian cigarettes thinking they are healthy. Let her have more heart surgery. I am done with talking to her about it.
I drink maybe one or two Corona's a week (it was my joke a couple of years ago with all this covid crap, I'd tell people that, Yea, I have the Corona. Corona Extra). Thats all my body can handle. Back in the day, I was a real party girl. The body now says, You're restricted, Honey!
Only you can determine to quit smoking, or anything else.No vape, pills, gum, patches. When you decide to get serious you can do it . Mind over matter. I can't stand the smell of smoke after 25 years of being smoke free.
When I'm ready. I don't like smoke either, its an addiction. It smells up my house and car then you have to worry about hot ashes burning your skin, furniture, or clothes. I did quit eating my Reeses' peanut butter cups, Dark Chocolate. That one was hard. And I no longer buy ice cream.
Addiction is difficult. It requires mental toughness which one must develop on their own. Personally I don't believe any of the previous crutches do anything except develop more dependencies. Cold Turkey reality is you can do it if you truly desire. Good luck the benefits of health are enormous compared to black lung.
Thank you! Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend!
Great "rant," Fran. I feel ya...I too feel out of energy and breath to talk about any of this anymore -- and I do write articles! LOL!
Perhaps I rant too much, but with everything awful going on and our lives being flushed down the toilet, I feel I need to speak out. A lifetime of experiences, good and bad, didn't get me this far for nothing. If I can wake up a few people and they pay it forwards, then thats a good thing. I totally believe in the domino effect. Our failure from the murderous and thieving politicians are not going to do a thing except steal more money, lie to our faces, and waste tax dollars on all this farcical in-fighting. I am so sick of it all.
Yes, I hear you, Fran. I carry weariness with me from years of working on Sep 11 truth. To closed minds, deaf ears, and blind eyes.
This current crime came about, in part IMO, because people in America bought the Sep 11 bullshit story, gladly supported the same government whose official story revealed stunning criminal negligence and malfeasance, willingly gave up their 4th Amendment protections to be "safe," while millions more simply thought that what happened in D.C., PA, and NYC had nothing to do with them.
This time around, at least, so many, many more people have "noticed" and are fighting back. I appreciate that, but to me? Our current circumstances evolved over decades? All symptomatic. We had a chance in the early 2000's to reveal what this place had become, but the majority booted it -- and here we are.
911 was a Litmus test. they mostly failed it. then took the jabs, another litmus test closer to home. there are repurcussions for militant ignorance.
Yes, exactly. From an American standpoint, Sep 11 was a litmus test. In contrast to this government and military destroying others in far away places, about which most Americans know nothing or ignore, that crime happened 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆...to them. Yet they still "failed." No outrage at their own country's failure as proudly detailed by the official story. No. Credulity and obedience toward the absurd and the freedom-destroying.
So. Then the Covid® operation. Another absurd, freedom-destroying official story...and the exact same response, for all intents and purposes. Except...this time...Americans aided and abetted the initial crime by committing others against themselves and their fellow Americans. Over a respiratory infection.
Couldn't agree more. I have siblings that won't even try to look at the "lone gunman angle" of the JFK assassination, that it was impossible for the bullshit story that was planted in all the obedient minds. I'll take the opinions and examples presented by sharp shooters, how I have seen the photos of Kennedy being hit from the front, plus what makes sense to me. Besides those that heard 3 or more shots. Like believing that piece of crap lunar module that "supposedly" landed on the moon. A five year old could have built something better using Legos.
Arguing with a friend's husband, I told him from Day 1 after 9-11 that it was no airliner that hit the Pentagon. I thought this engineer was going to blow a rod! The hole would have been much bigger, plus where were all the parts, bodies? And one of the supposed high jackers' ID happened to just "fall" onto the pavement, in clean 100% condition? Everyone is wearing their Dunce hats these days.
I pretty much give up trying to convince anyone of anything anymore. Blinded by whats happening on X or Fakebook or Instagram, their lives must be a sorry mess. The only people who really understand whats going on is those I speak with in small town America.
Why do you think they pushed all these jabs onto the American Sheep? I still see people walking around with those blue paper diapers on their faces. Breathing all those chemicals in those masks. These Illegal Invaders are not forced to do a thing - yet. But their stupid little hinders are on the chopping block next. They don't care about this country, at all, nor understand the history or even care to.
Yes, here we are. Most believe the next president is going to fix the problems. That isn't ever going to happen. It just gets worse. Until one day, it'll all blow up. Can't wait.
Re the JFK assassination, I tell the story in one of my posts about the day my father sat me down to talk about it. It was the day after the NYTimes published the "Warren Report." My father proceeded to explain to me in terms his girl could understand how all of it was impossible, and that yes, people tell lies and then other people print them...
"I thought this engineer was going to blow a rod!" LOL! That's funny, Fran. Thank you for the chuckle on that one. Speaking of engineers, I've got one of those in my family, too. Asked him, given that NIST confirmed the 20 second drop to Earth of both WTC Towers, a basic question.
Setting up my question, I said that since the Towers each had 110 floors -- and even if it were possible for a one-second per floor drop -- that's over a minute and half for the Tower to drop. So, I queried, "What physical conditions do you think had to be in place that day that would enable a 20-second drop for both Towers?" Answer?
He "Pfft'ed" ...and walked away. Without answering.
As for why they pushed this junk on people, I don't know, Fran. Another lesson in blind obedience, to prove (yet again) the cowardice of the majority, to kill and or sicken, to reduce reproductive capacity? All of the above?
As you say, everyone is wearing -- and has been for a long time -- their Dunce hats these days. My hubs says the same thing as you -- it's gonna blow. It's gotta blow -- and he can't wait. He too, as am I -- and you -- is exhausted by it all.
I was 8 yrs. old when JFK was murdered, then I knew when RJK was shot, he was done. It scared me to the core of my soul, being in only 8th grade. Everything felt cold inside of me. My father always said LBJ was involved. Sure, amongst many others. I wish Dad was still alive, boy, could we have a conversation! The funeral was one of the saddest things I've witnessed as a young child.
When LHO said he was a patsy, I knew he was telling the truth. Just his body language and the way he said it. Its funny how you just know things when you're young, yet have no understanding of what it is you know. Gut instinct.
Its great if being educated by a college takes you somewhere really grand in life, but I find most of those types of brainwashed folks have absolutely no common sense. And they can never think outside the box, even if you show them facts. Very closed minded people.
I've had arguments with family about 9-11, telling them to go watch demo experts take down buildings with explosives. The production and results are exactly the same! Buildings on fire usually fall to one side or another, they don't usually fall into themselves. Those fires from airplane fuel isn't hot enough to take down those steel supports and I agree, those floors would not have dropped so quickly like they did without explosives. Especially when numerous people heard explosions. This topic I've tried to bring up and I get poo-pooed, called a nutjob. You know, the entire gambit. My family is extremely quick to label you without even taking into consideration what you're telling them. Without putting on that thinking cap. The only caps they wear are the ones with the propeller on the top.
Same folks who took those jabs, now their sweating over what they did. I warned them, emailing multiple articles to at least read. They hit "delete". Bada bing, bada boom. I no longer even waste my time. Whats the point. I am a Quack. Funny how when I end up right, they NEVER tell me they were wrong. Never apologizing to me. And never asking me to discuss or share further information so they can learn more. One listens to the other and so on. I am only the dumb middle sister who hasn't a clue. Ignore her and she'll go away.
This is why I love to visit small towns and talk to strangers; get a feel what life is like and would I fit in. I've met so many who are the kindest, the most generous who expect nothing other than a Thank you. Its surprising to me that many of these small town "hicks" are very wise to whats going on. I just love these people. Salt of the earth!
Yep, it'll all blow up. I am not going to help those that didn't listen. I've been stocking up on pkgs. of dried and freeze-dried foods. Food will be worth more than gold when the SHTF. Our near future is going to get very interesting, indeed.
(butting in) cousin of mine came here in my third world rural abode once, 2019. Retired, he was a management level civil engineer with a large city utility. told him about architects and engineers for 911 truth (I notice their web page was defunct recently). he went through the usual rapid motions of mock, denial, deafness, anger. had he looked it up , just the dustification and no 107 pancakes, he might not have gone to his death with turbo cancer still mocking conpiracy theorists. Once just has to wash ones hands like Pontious Pilate, only so much on can do.
I used to watch a lot of those cop videos on JooToob too, and they made my blood boil. But then I asked- why is JooToob allowing all of these "copwatcher" videos to be posted? After all, say something against the wonderful quaccines and you get cancelled in a New York second. Obviously, it is all part of the psyop. I would recommend tuning out the videos. They are calculated to make people mad at the cops and the system. We know it is dysfunctional. We don't need it in our face every day.
Moreover, some of those guys, like Freedman, are Operation Mockingbird to the hilt!
I like to keep myself informed where it proves to me the level of evil and how its overtaking people's weak pathetic minds. Have to watch what I say on YT as I've been threatened twice now that I'll be kicked off. It sickens me to read the commenters cheering on these cops, which not are all murderous, but many are. Wait until the cops show up at their front doors for some asinine reason with guns drawn.
Like Gerald Celente says: WWIII will be a nuclear war, and WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
refuse to set foot in a hospital
Jack Tiscione: That was hard for me to do while lying on the asphalt in the parking lot of the grocery store with a smashed hip.
Of course, Timmy. Our system does treat things like broken bones well. Hope you're recovering nicely. Thanks.
Western medicine is rather remarkable with regards to emergency /critical care and (necesary) surgeries. However, they are clueless with most everything else.
That's sound thinking, Jack. Thanks!
I'm with you. I will never walk into a doctor's office under my own power.
The modern stone age medical mafia is a murder machine. Once you get into their clutches, they never let go. So many people have wrecked themselves pretending to be living and then expect "miracle" medicine to keep the going and keep them alive until they hit 105.
No thanks, I no longer trust anyone in the medical community. Almost 74 and refuse to take any big pharma drugs, vaccines and mRNA poisons. I figure my health is pretty much up to me and that I have a good chance of living longer without drugs and doctors than with them.
Well said
Crixcyon: I agree. And I'll live and die my way. I'm 72 and have lived a good life. I no longer put up with people telling me what to do.
I'm with you, Crixcyon. Thanks!
Like hell I'm going to work all my life to save a few bucks and then let the doctors bankrupt me! If it's war, it's war. I'd rather die than surrender to them.
I had a cousin diagnosed with "breast cancer". I kept trying to get my aunt to take her to mexico for treatment.
This was 30 years ago. They opted for the chemo.
Guess how long she has been dead?
You got it. She died in 1995.
So true! I was born in 1956 and can't recall an epidemic of chronically sick and obese children in my age group. We were vibrant and active and read books and climbed trees like monkeys and stuff. These days, in my late 60's and single, who could I possibly date? Almost everyone in my age group is old, decrepit and likely on a huge laundry list of pharmaceutical meds, not to mention probably jabbed up with the toxic "vaccines". No way am I going to have intimate relations with some idiot who might be shedding toxic God only knows what! And then there's the huge gulf between those of us who "get it" and those who don't and won't no matter what.
The future is looking bleak for civilization as we've known it. Maybe that's not such a bad thing in the grander scheme. It looks to me like there will probably be a huge die-off and collapse. And then it starts all over again. Like it likely has many times before. We see the signs in archeological remnants. In spite of it all, it's fascinating to be living through such times.
Annette Jordan: I agree but the lockdowns etc. here in the SF Bay Area took all the joy out of life for me. I'll never trust my neighbors again. It's sad.
One of the good reasons for relocating--for those who can--is to find good neighbors. Politics is not enough. Trustworthy neighbors (who don't have TV for brains) are the best preventative against lockdown type insanity.
Annette remember all those kids you ran around with climbed trees with etc were all over the country also. most of them are the ones you see bent over and on a lot of meds
Yes, they had a good start but then put too much trust in the high priests of medicine.
They are fascinating, Annette. But I could do without quite this much fascination. Thanks!
Life after 40 years with the Captain, Toucan Sam and Count Chocula.
Oh, and don't forget Tony the Tiger. "They're GRRRRRRRRRREAT!"
You seem to know it more than you would think. You are quite correct. If interested, look into the earth's 12,000 year catastrophe cycle on Suspicious0bservers(dot)org. YT daily news and playlists of much info. The last one was about 12,000 years ago. Doesn't take a genius to add up 2+2.
Again, I LOVED it all and agree with most of what you said. I agree with your mother and am still walking and talking on my own and know who I am. At the very minimum, I walk outside every day, rain or snow.
Visually, tats are disgusting, hairs coming out of places that they shouldn't, a big need for hair care and jeans with huge holes in them. People pay big $$ for those. They could go to Goodwill, pick up a pair for 10 buck and cut their own holes and put that $130. in the bank. The rampant stupidity is every where. There are next to no manners or thoughtfulness. Young kids have expensive IPhones ( I don't) and credit cards. Unreal.
The world is dangerous thanks to non-thinking voters and going out or driving is no longer fun. Now YOU make me laugh at the brilliant absurdities you point out. The medical profession is revealing itself to the issues you named or we are getting smarter. I have PTSD from a fall last year, a hospital stay and a three week rehab visit. There is another scam. Rehabs. Prior to the event, I was running and taking tennis lessons; I am your mom's age. No one believes it. As to rehabs, too much to go into here but people, skip the rehab and go home. You'll figure it out. Do you think the early settlers had rehabs near the cabins? Never again.
Vicki: After I smashed my hip and got the new hip pin, I never went back to the surgeon or rehab. I went online and figured out how to do the rehab on my own. It worked but I kept overdoing it when I felt better. I even had to go back to the walker for awhile.
Rehab is doing the exercises but listening to the body, too. Don't overdo it. Don't under do it. It's hard to find the balance.
It's quite the indictment of this crack system we pay so much for, Timmy, that you had to figure our your rehab on line. But it's unfortunately SOP. Thanks.
I appreciate the kind words, Vicki. I'm glad I make you laugh. We have to look at the humor here, or we'd just be weeping constantly. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Thanks!
One thing I will say- you have to respect your age. No more running or sports for me. I do walk about 6 miles a day. Good exercise. But older people have more brittle bones and have to be careful.
Don't ask for an injury which might be the death of you.
I think women’s beauty is on life support. Born in 64 and can remember the 70s and 80s hot girls. As I look around today I can’t help but wonder if generations are getting uglier. You couldn’t have a tv show like The Love Boat today
I'm with you, Gregory. Watching the girls in their shorts walking around in summer used to be a pleasant diversion. Now not so much. Thanks!
Gregory: There are still "hot girls" here in the SF Bay Area. They troll for and capture millionaires.
Hot girls will probably never go out of style, Timmy. Unless they succeed in turning them all into boys. But I don't think there is any question that the increased weight alone has made them much rarer than they were 40-50 years ago. Thanks.
"Hot girls." Hmm. You left out the T.
RE Nichols: "T" ?
Lol. "Thot." I ruined the joke explaining it.
The irony is- the more the "hot girls" undress themselves and expose themselves in public, the rarer they become.
Whenever I actually go into a gas station to pay for my gas and get a coffee I watch what people are buying while standing in line. If it’s near lunchtime these folks have their arms full of red bull, gas station pizza or corn dogs. When they get to the register they add a pack of cigarettes and a quarter pint of Fire Ball (cinnamon schnapps). If it’s near the end of the day it’s the same thing as above but add a 12 pack or case of beer. I know this isn’t unique to my neck of the woods. This will keep the hospitals in business long into the future.
It’s my belief everything in our culture is designed to lower life expectancy and reduce birth rates. That’s why abortion is always the rabidly sacrosanct right for every woman in this nation. And I’m with you on the fluoride issue. During WWII it was given to prisoners to keep them docile. Aren’t we the only western nation that still puts it in our water? It is also believed to calcify the pineal gland in your brain. And God bless your 86 year old sister. I’m 71 and I look at some of these guys in their 80’s stooped over shuffling along and I ask myself holy shit is that me in 10 years!!! I pray not.
Yes, gas station food is probably at the bottom of the food chain, right next to 7-11 products, Dennis. Even fast food seems a bit better. My sister became a widow about eight years ago. She is semi-interested in finding a man, but doesn't like the idea of someone much younger than her, and is appalled at the condition of those near her age. Thanks!
Dennis Kelly: We tried to get fluoride out of our town's water with a referendum. We lost 3:1 in the vote. The dentists, hospital, City Council, and the school board were for fluoride.
Here is some research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9819484/
https://fluoridealert.org/news/the-landmark-epa-fluoride-tsca-bench-trial-that-began-january-31-could-end-water-fluoridation/ Maybe next time the people win.
Just sayn: I hope the people get educated and stop the madness. Thanks for the link.
You get your coffee from a gas station? Brave and foolish man.
I like to walk to the grocery store, grow my own food and drink good quality alcohol.
You can make your own alcohol too. Got a recipe for homemade brandy. No still required.
Do you make it with just sugar and yeast?
Apples, raisins, and sugar packed into a wide mouth jar. Cover tightly and store away for 6 months.
Same here, except I'd substitute "quantity" for "quality"!
As I alluded to in the past, worked closely with the medical field for 30 years now and unfortunately Don, you are spot on with everything stated.
So many folks we encounter lead lives that revolve around endless doctor appointments, to numerous 'specialists' and with a list of conditions long as my leg.
Got a few chuckles from the article as well, despite a rather dire topic.
and fyi, around here it is a little over $2k for a ride to the hospital, at least from a car accident scene, and they refuse to take a penny less if you try to negotiate the bill - claiming some gov't code negates any negotiation.
Yeah, I probably underestimated that, jwslaw. I've read how ambulances are free in many other countries. They ought to be considered a public service. Nothing is free in America 2.0. Unless you're an illegal immigrant. Thanks!
Here in Australia there is compulsory 3rd party insurance with vehicle registration. Any road accident ,including compensation is fully covered by this (ie. hospital / ambulance etc.)
unless they drug test you for minute traces of cannibis, then you are an illegal.
hospital / ambulance is covered regardless This has nothing to do with any private insurance such as comprehensive or 3rd party property etc.
Oh, you nailed my maternal grandma, and this was back in the 1970's. She was at the doctor's once a week. And on about 7 different pills. Back then I think they were all sugar pills because she lived for ten more years. The doctors were just milking medicare.
I am 73, 6'1" (185cm) and 168lbs (76kg). I have been the same weight for 50 years - plus or minus 5lbs(2kg).
I was married to an "excellent" lady GP in Australia for 18 years. I never took any vaccines since I was a child. She insisted on vaccines for herself and our 2 daughters. All 3 of these ladies got depression and eating disorders. The youngest girl got anorexia. I think she is now a transsexual.
We got divorced 4 years ago. She just would not change her lifestyle. I was the only healthy person in the house. I am 50 and 55 years older than my daughters.
I moved to Egypt's Red Sea coast. I was born here. The people are poor but normal. Kids play in the streets. No one pays attention to the media and the scare stories. There was no Covid - a PSYOP. There is no gender confusion. People - Muslims and Christians - are believers. It is perfectly safe to walk around alone at night everywhere.
I am looking for a wife from Ukraine or Russia who is 50 years younger than me. Lot of ladies are writing to me. I want to have more kids. To bring them up away from the corrupt West.
I appreciate you sharing that, Alfred. I admire your ambition- those young Russian girls are very attractive indeed. Thanks!
My doctor ex-wife is Russian. She is 20 years younger than me. Now, she is 53 and no longer able to replace me with a younger version. But I can replace her with a much younger version. The world is unfair.
They don't teach women that they are the only creatures in the universe that get menopause long before they die. That is so that they can look after their grandchildren. Nature always wins in the end.
I loved our family’s vacation to Egypt a few years ago. Being in a sane culture was so nice. I really didn’t want to come home.
We ended up at the Mall at one point to watch a movie and to get in we had to buy a mask, but once we got in NOBODY in the Mall was wearing a mask. The other nice thing was that the women were just nicely dressed and didn’t have so much skin popping out. Going through airport security it was like COVID didn’t exist. It wasn’t until we transferred planes in Germany that Covid became a thing again.
People in Africa have little trust in government. They know that it is all lies.
Sun, I scratching my head here, trying to why figure out why you went to a cinema while on vacation? I'm truly curious, not trying to pick a fight. I haven't been in a cinema in 43 years. PS. I looked at your stack, and you have a beautiful cat.
When I visited Zanzibar (a Muslim island) I was told I could walk down the street at 3am with cash hanging out of my pocket and no one would bother me. I crashed a Vespa into a ditch. A crowd gathered, and a local guy got the Vespa running again, and took it for a test run. One guy said: "Don't worry, we are not thieves" (I wasn't worried). I already had, the first day, a man chase me down to return the watch that had fallen from my wrist. Religious countries with high moral standards, are the safest for travelers.
Thank you for your story. I have been married 33 years, and thankfully my wife is very health conscious (in a good way). However, if God should ever take her, I think I would be praying along the same lines you mentioned. Women my age (50's, 60's) are "old". Even the 20 somethings these days are overweight, unhealthy. Wasn't like this in the 70's.....
I was a student in London in the period 1968-73. London was full of beautiful young White girls. Now, it is another matter.
Also, I spent 4 summer months in California and the USA in 1970. There were so many pretty girls.
Men and women are built differently. As I mentioned in another post, women get the menopause so that they can look after their grandchildren. No other creature on earth lives long after losing the ability to procreate. Try explaining that to Western women.
Men are attracted to younger women for excellent biological reasons. This is no aberration. It is in the design.
"I wish they all could be California girls..." (Beach Boys) - indeed - we all thought that at the time. Probably not today....
In the summer of 1970, I was staying at a fraternity house of UCLA - in Westwood Village. Once, I was walking on a sidewalk. A guy parked a Porsche. A girl got out of her side of the car. She was so beautiful that I could not remove my eyes from her. The driver, an older guy, saw what was happening. He said something like "she did that to me too". I was so embarrassed. I rushed away.
Alfred, just wanted to say that your comments have me cruising around the world. England, California, 18 years Australia, Egypt and the Res Sea! I've traveled the US quite extensively but only outside of it a few times. I used to scuba dive so the Red Sea was always a dream. But just the 'normal' way of living you described there now holds as much interest as the diving did years ago. Thanks, best wishes. (Maine, US)
Thank you for your kind words. For me, it is sad to see the lovely USA being taken over by the Neocons.
Aaron Bushnell reminds one that there are some brave and honest people there still.
You have the right idea but I would hold off on having any progeny until this Category Seven geopolitical storm blows over.
"Various Nations will be annihilated"- Our Lady of Fatima.
I read somewhere that the reason for all the peanut allergies is b/c peanut oil is now used as an adjuvant in vaccines.
I've read that they grow the bacteria on a protein which then ends up in the vacs. Probably used peanuts for awhile. An adjuvant is typically a metal.
That's probably true, Pelicanus. If we don't really know what they're putting in the water, we certainly don't know what's in the vaccines. Thanks.
In the 1970's, allergies exploded. At first, it was hayfever and various pollons. But then it became peanuts, milk, and bread. but nothing to see here folks... move along.
Part of it is that my generation was the first "inside generation" that watched insane amounts of TV. Thank goodness I took to the woods when I was about 4. My grandfather gave me a keyhole saw and said "What can he do with that?" Well, I patiently cut and cut until I felled a tree 40 foot tall. I thought I was deep in the woods but really only about 20 or so feet beyond the yard. The tree pulled down a mass of grape vines that landed right over the fire pit. A great afternoon's work at grandpas.
Great article again Don. I have some food for thought. My wife went on a program of intermittent fasting after reading Jason Fung's The Diabetic Code. To give her moral support I went on the diet regime with her. In five weeks she has dropped twenty pounds and has been able to cut her medication in half. I, even though I thought I was in really good shape for a man of seventy one have lost 12 pounds. The amazing thing is how much extra energy I have. There is definitely extra spring in my step. If you feel you need a boost I suggest you try it.
About 24 ago, I started eating one meal a day, in the evenings. I just got tired of going through all the food prep, and I never really felt hungry until evening. It really came in handy once, far from home, when I was robbed of everything. I didn't feel hungry waiting for money to be wired.
In 2010, one day for fun, I googled: people who only eat one meal a day. That's when I discovered my eating habits were an actual thing, and that it had a name. It sure saves money.
Very interesting, Kris. You may be on to something. Thanks.
I must have really altered my metabolism, because 12 years ago, when I was really broke, I got up at 4 am, rode my bicycle 11 miles, picked blue berries all day, and then rode 11 miles home. I was fine, as far as hunger went.
Kris: Yes, my wife and I only eat one meal a day but we do eat cereal (bran) as a snack. It does save some money. I read that Americans are now eating cereal at dinner to save money. It's the beer and almond milk that no doubt keep me a bit overweight but I like them.
I agree. No one needs 3 meals a day unless they are doing hard physical labor. I have been eating 2 meals a day for years and my health and body are fine. You can cut back on portions and get rid of extra weight. Drink LOTS of water as it's healthy for you anyway.
For about 10 years, I have been eating just two meals a day- neither very large. And I eat or drink nothign between meals. I gave up the pop about 15 years ago after realizing it is nothign but sugar laced slow poison. Yes, fasting is definitely healthy.
And eat simpler foods too- just some pea soup and a slice of home made bread, or three eggs and a slice of cheese. Cut way down on things like beef and ice cream.
I've had others suggest fasting to me, Peter. I'll have to look into it. Glad you and your wife are doing well. Thanks!
Don ,love your columns, get em from LewRockwell.com. I'm 56, started intermittent fasting during the great unpleasantness a few years ago, and feel a lot better . My best work of the day happens before noon, in my unfed state. Feeding window is noon to 7pm. Non feeding is 7pm to noon. Staying hydrated in the AM is essential ( chase coffee with tea 😁). One of these days I'm gonna get down to one meal a day, and dammit won't it be a good one!
Thanks, Jon!
Fasting is good for the body and the soul. I went without food for 40 hours. Don't think I will do that again soon but on the other hand I'm not dead.
It's tough to get used to. We do 36 hour fasts. A friend of ours plans all his meals to be consumed within 8 hours. It seems to work for him. Maybe the 16 hour break between meals is adequate.
What I would recommend is working your way into it very gradually. First, stop snacking and imbibing beverages all the time. Make beverages a real treat. Next, eliminate processed foods like corn chips and breakfast cereal. Start cooking using basic foods.
Then cut to two meals a day, one much smaller than the main meal. Also avoid a lot of meat. In fact the smaller meal should be meatless.
Planning is a wonderful thing. Eating should never be spontaneous.
Eating every time one "feels hungry" is an invitation to looking like the GoodRich Blimp at 40.
I don't eat any of that processed crap and haven't for many years. As for beverages all I drink is Herbal teas and water. I limit myself to one cup of coffee in the morning (I have to have at least on vice) and no starches. with no flour, no potatoes or rice. Processed sugars are a big no. Even at that you have to question how much of our food sources are GMO. So called organic produce I believe to be just so much bullshit. While I do grow much of my food and harvest game it is probably impossible to find much pure unadulterated food on the market without starving to death.
Thanks for this, though it certainly was not an "upper" (lol). In recent months, as your essay reminds me, I have been beginning to suspect that, although I am not any spring chicken, and I don't think of myself as particularly athletic, I may be walking and talking when many of the people in my world are long gone. Strange days. Off for a brisk walk—
PS My theory about the elderlies with stooping shoulders is that, had they carried some weights around the house and up and down the stairs and such in middle age, their backbones would not have shrunk. (That's what's causing the stooped posture, according to me.) What weights? Well, thinking in evolutionary terms, my guess is that anything that approximates the weight of a healthy toddler. That would be about 20- 30 pounds. Back in the long, long ago of living in tribes in caves and mud-and-wattle huts, if you couldn't pick up, wrestle, and haul around a toddler, as an elderly, you weren't much use to your family; it was probably time for you to go. Seems that nowadays Grandma is more apt to FaceTime with the kidlets from the sofa. Meanwhile, her GP is at-the-ready to order tests and write prescriptions for osteopinea.
Ha ha. Right on topic I just did a little post on the stooped spine on stefatanus.substack.com Yes weight resistance exercise plus natural sunshine and plenty of animal based foods helps prevent osteopenia/porosis.
Good points, Transcriber B. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to write about the subjects I do, without being a downer. Thanks.
I know it. I appreciate you.
PS My own Substack is just one total mega downer after the other. Except for the memes a couple times a month, maybe. And except for the videos and transcripts of the few people who stood up and gave their school board / city council / county commissioners deserved blazing hell.
You're doing good work yourself, Transcriber B. Thanks!
I think you are right. In fact, just yesterday I read an article in the Epoch Times about an exercise called rucking which is just as you described, involving hiking with a backpack filled with weights. Another problem is that we are taught poor posture, which degenerates over time, and medicine has been clueless and indifferent as to how to overcome this.
I think what causes the stooped posture is bureaucat-itis. These people ran desks all their lives, went home to sit in front of the boob tube, and never took a walk in their life.
they do not realise they are living in a desktopian world.
A friend of mine was feeling down so he went to his beloved doctor who put him on an anti-depressant. A few weeks later he killed himself with a shotgun. The doc still enjoys being a pillar of society. I doubt he even gave it a second thought as to his culpability.
So sad, but too common, wrw. Thanks.
