Chronic disease is a real problem, as anybody who has one knows all too well. Estimates suggest that 60% of all adults in the U.S. have at least one chronic condition, which account for more than 2/3 of all causes of deaths. A third of all people worldwide suffer from multiple chronic illnesses. [Setting aside the question of whether any of these mainstream numbers can be trusted.] Of course, this is enormously profitable. Treatment of chronic conditions in the U.S. alone costs around $2.5 trillion. And since we have finally recognized that virtually every aspect of modern life is a money-making racket, a cradle-to-grave shakedown, we can hardly expect this to be any different. (A racket, recall, is when you deliberately cause a problem in order to profit from solving it.)
One of the things I have learned about the most from comments on this blog is about health-related issues — whether it be about nutrition, which vitamins and supplements to take (and which not), vaccines, pollution and even animal care. So I’m opening up this post as a place for people to discuss health matters, because – if you’ve ever been ill for an extended period you know — health matters. Without our health, it’s much harder to get anything done. Illness, especially chronic, is deeply disempowering, and that is part of the health racket, too: they want us worried and spending our time dealing with illness. So it seems to me that as people who want to fight the powers that be, at least within our own spheres of influence, the first order of business ought to be taking back the power and strength of our own bodies. So think of this as a thread where you can share the knowledge you’ve learned and also ask for and give advice. Of course it doesn’t have to be confined to humans or to chronic illness or even to illness — any health and wellness advice is welcome in the broadest sense of the word.
I’m going to kick things off first by linking to two papers written by Miles Mathis. The first concerns his experience taking so many health supplements that he was getting iodine poisoning. The second is a paper he wrote in 2012 called “The Health Emergency” on taking control of your food and water to avoid toxins and GMOs.
Here are some of the comments that people have left about these issues. I’m sure I’ve left some out. Please don’t be offended if I left your comment out. I only pasted what I remembered and could find in an easy search within a reasonable amount of time. Please feel free to repost any comments you or others left on other posts here or on other sites. Also not that I do not and cannot vouch for any of this information — it could all be wrong, though I wouldn’t post it if I thought it was likely to be wrong. As always, think for yourself.
From Genevieve A.K.A. “cancelled”:
“The soil was depleted as far back as the 1940’s. Most if not all people, as a result, are malnourished. Dr Royal Lee fought this lost battle for decades; the industrial food cartel destroyed his life because of that battle. But he left an important legacy of nutritional research describing the nutritional destructiveness of the food we all consume, thanks to “the families” who were described in one comment as “nurturers”.
“Even the “vitamins” we’re sold are crap; they’re isolates which are ineffective. Royal Lee tells/told it like it is. And he predicted, being a scientific researcher, the endemic modern diseases — autoimmune, cancer, diabetes, obesity, et al. Hello? Is nobody aware of the dire state of humankind’s health?
“People will say, well we had to have intensive farming; we had to have industrialized food. But that’s not true! Back in the day, people had vegetable gardens in their yards, and some chickens, and fruit trees, and a cow. They created their own food — butter, unpasteurized/healthy milk, eggs, veggies, fruits — as a matter of course. They made their own soap…. They were not dependent on grocery stores like we are now.
“That’s been a change for the worse in many ways — to health, to freedom and independence, economically, and environmentally.
“It’s the greedy industrialists who have wreaked havoc on the social, environmental, employment, economic, and educational aspects of mankind’s world…. It could have all been so different! Love and nurturing of humanity was an option not chosen. Humanity could have been cultivated, to bring out their best qualities — if megalomaniacs insist in control — instead of crushed under a jackboot for the sake of jealously guarded hegemony fueled by greed and materialism and nepotism.
“I hate them! These people are cowards. I cringe when the benign appellation “the families” is applied to them. They have stolen people’s lives. They have, as the overseers of our earth, raped, and pillaged, and polluted it. They are nothing more than criminals.”
And in another comment:
“…the fact is, the .0001% are making the other 99.9999% physically, emotionally, and spiritually ill — basically their methods are killing people, and they know this!
“To realize this, all you have to do is look into the scientific research of the early to mid 20th century on nutrition by McCarrison, Lee, Price, Park, Wiley — a prolific period of research before the industrialized food cartel took total control of research and publishing, and bought the FDA. It has been nearly a century ago that they found the worrisome proliferation of degenerative diseases brought about by soil erosion, intensive farming and processed food by these families — much of it from sugar — was causing malnutrition, and even how that process worked. These families own the medical profession and the dental profession and the hospitals and the pharmaceutical companies and the food supply and the farmland and the minerals and the “government” and the courts.”
And elsewhere:
“I trust early to mid 20th century nutritional research articles and books. Royal Lee and his peers are excellent; the historical archives of the Selene River Press is a treasure trove with lots of breadcrumbs, covering both all aspects of nutrition and also food politics. The History of a Crime against the Pure Food Law illustrates how we ended up with chemically processed food and an industry-owned FDA. There was a war.
“Weston A Price’s 1938 book (free online) “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” investigated the health and dental conditions of remote “savage” tribes untouched by civilized foods, and described their natural eating habits and excellent physical condition, and absence of social problems and crime — until processed foods invaded.
“The nutritional researchers back then were earnest, uncorrupted, and concerned about the dramatic rise in degenerative diseases, cancer, dental problems, arthritis, etc.which they unanimously attributed to malnutrition, due to depleted soil, food processing, and pasteurization; a great deal of their research focuses on what constitutes proper nutrition — hence Price’s expeditions into uncivilized cultures across the globe.
“Vitamins were a recent discovery and an area of avid research. Too, processed food was relatively new, unlike now; people were alive who had been raised on real food, knew the difference, and fought (but lost) against the proliferation of additives, adulteration, preservatives, and refinement of our food supply.”
And elsewhere:
“The depression epidemic is connected to the food INDUSTRY. The dead, processed food is connected to the medical INDUSTRY. Malnutrition causes symptoms that are suppressed with pharmaceutical drugs, a euphemism for CHEMICALS that are also in our water. Malnutrition also causes dental caries and gum diseases — unheard of in primitive cultures until they were exposed to processed foods by “civilization.”
“Malnutrition fuels the medical, dental, and pharmaceutical industries. But you never hear a word about the rampant malnutrition epidemic. Real, nutritional food would put paid to the chemical, agribusiness, medical and dental industries. It would also necessarily end centralized control because the only way to provide real, live, nutritious food is for it to be sourced locally — storage and transportation requires processing. And that would mean different foods for different localities, depending on climate, weather, soil, sunlight, etc. So then you put a huge dent in intensive agriculture and the transportation industry.
“The petroleum INDUSTRY, connected to the food industry via packaging, is a major contributor to the cancer industry, as estrogens cause many cancers, especially breast cancer; and as plastics are major endocrine disruptors, the cause of so many degenerative diseases too numerous to list. Primary among them is sterility and gender bending, being covered up by normalizing it. Not to mention the endocrine-disrupting bromine that is put in all flour and bakery products. So any iodine you may have is displaced by the halogens bromine, and fluoride.
“One could go on forever listing the causes of malnutrition, caused by centralized control of food resources: rancid oils, chemical preservatives, chemical fertilizers, food irradiation, ad nauseum. All of which puts the human and animal bodies under tremendous toxic stress because these wastes have to be dealt with. But in malnutrition, the cells grab what’s available, and if only inappropriate stuff is available (as in bromine, and not iodine), health gets compromised.
“Why am I writing this? Because we are being slowly starved to death by the practices of industrialists with the collusion of governments. We are being broken down slowly, almost imperceptibly — mentally and physically. The nature of our food supply is possibly the most important issue relevant to our welfare. And nobody seems to notice.”
Here is a comment from Runar on electrical and photon therapies and nutrition:
“Not before I almost was about to die in 2011 did i care to look up health. I used one of the most primitive to heal myself. It was part of the Bob Beck protocol and it created a single current to electrify the blood. And it works, it kills off invaders. Also Bob Beck created a color pulser for the healing of wounds and skin ailments: https://www.cancertutor.com/bobbeck/
“Healing by electricity is now a century old tradition, the first machines gaining reputation was Royal Rife’s. Versions of his machines are still used, in US mostly. Reading about him and the war against him by FDA and Morris Fishbein is also entertaining.
“Hulda Clark is also study worth, she created her own zapper as she called it, and she also provided a technical drawing so that you can build one for yourself. A Lighthouse in herself, forced to migrate to Mexico to run her clinic. Her books are still a fabulous read thanks to her spirit and enchanted pragmatic attitude.
“The logic behind healing by electricity is that every living thing has got its own frequency and this current can be reverted. Most small things dies fast, others are just weakened, but with perseverance i even got rid of Lyme’s disease, it took 6 years and i used Bob Beck stuff at home daily for 2-3 years but also went to a therapeut using E-Lybra machine developed by WDS. Plus she also had MoRa machine, an development by German Morell and Rasche, who measured the body’s own meridian energies, and in this way created electrical acupuncture. It has also been very helpful in revealing my many food intolerances. I had been living on poison. I think i had 4-6 treatments the first years, and then twice yearly.
“As I stopped with carbohydrates and all grass products my lifelong depression went away to never come back. I found out:
Sugar and Carbohydrates => Depression and mania
Starches (Potato and things growing under soil) => Anxiety
Corn, flour => Guilt, shame & shyness.
“This little post contains things which I studied daily for a couple of years, my few links will not reveal much of that, but beware this is the area where wikipedia is at its least respectable. Incl google. Also when researching this field you notice a very much higher number of spooks trying to mislead, than any other place.
“Also very informative is curezone.com If you have the Latin name of your problem there is probably someone who has been fighting it before. But unfortunately very spook infested.”
Some recent advice on Vitamins, raw milk, and other supplements:
From Benjamin:
Spirulina and Chlorella have many similarities, but Spirulina is the lesser alternative as it only has faux B12 the body can’t utilise, whereas Chlorella has real B12 (rare in plants). There are two varieties of Chlorella – Vulgaris or Sorokinia (aka Pyrenoidosa). The latter is more beneficial (has much higher growth factor). You need to ensure it has been grown outdoors in sunlight (not “fermented” indoors in tanks). The wall also needs to be cracked for our bodies to utilise, but its a fine balance, as the act of cracking the wall can cause too much damage, losing much of the goodness. Either “sound vibration” or “pressure release” seem to be the most reliable methods. Of the Chlorella grown outdoors, studies show Taiwan is the cleanest source. Places like China have organically certified Chlorella, but it is still not as clean as that from Taiwan. Japan is in between. All of the above should be on the products website, if not the label. Failing that, contact the company for information.
Most Vit C supplements are just ascorbic acid, which is not really vitamin C, but an isolated component, often from synthetic source (GMO, inorganic, etc). On its own that component has low absorption in our bodies. Combined with co-factors (like bioflavonoids) it has improved absorption, but often those are synthetic too. So what to do? Best to get it from food. If the food available to you does not use reliable farming methods (common), it may suffer from a deficiency of vitamins and minerals. In which case, find a C supplement that is real C (not ascorbic acid), from whole food sources. You will know it when you find it, as it the food sources it comes from will be listed on the label. These type of supplements are rare to find, but do exist. They probably won’t be on the shelves of your average pharmacy.
It’s best for the C to be combined with co-factors (bioflavonoids, minerals) to help it work, but don’t just take a ‘combined with everything’ is best approach. Vitamins A,D,E,K are fat soluble, while B & C are water soluble. Therefore ADEK shouldn’t be in the same capsule as BC. They require different extraction techniques, requirements for stability, shelf life, etc… If you see all of it listed together, be sure it won’t all work.
Miles was taking the right approach, combining C with multi-minerals, though he didn’t mention whether they were from whole food sources or synthetics.
Then there is the list of ingredients that make up the tablets/capsules themselves. This branches into a huge topic, but to keep it short, a majority of this stuff is undesirable, and won’t always be listed on the label. Even if it is listed on the label, you won’t know what it means unless you’ve researched it, which most haven’t. The best simple solution is to avoid tablets (can’t trust their binding agents) where possible, and tip capsule content into water, so you don’t have to consume the capsule itself (sorry if you don’t like the taste!). Obviously if a tablet is saving your life keep taking it, but if you are presented with a choice, you are now a little more informed. Companies with integrity will use acceptable ingredients in their tablets/capsules, but how can you be certain which companies have that integrity, when most don’t?
Finally, to label a product ‘organic’, all it requires is one carbon atom. Carbon atoms are found in just about everything, including plastic and petrol, so you can see it is a completely useless term! ‘Certified organic’ is far more telling, as farms need to adhere to strict standards in order to receive the certification. However keep in mind this certification typically means 95% or more certified organic ingredients, meaning still a 5% chance it contains pesticides, chemical fertilisers etc…
From Genevieve/Cancelled:
The problem with taking Ascorbic Acid as “Vitamin C” is discussed here:
https://www.seleneriverpress.com/historical/is-this-shot-necessary/
Hold that thought, then consider this:
It is claimed by Dr Simon Agger that legally, in America, the only portion of the Vitamin C Complex that is allowed to be called Vitamin C is the (5%) ascorbic acid antioxidant wrapper around the C molecule. (I haven’t verified this.) So, people who think they are buying Vitamin C may not be getting Vitamin C; and the ascorbic acid they mistake for vitamin C may be inadvisable or worse, depending on their condition, as the above reference discusses.
What I do know is that, when I conducted an exhaustive online search for whole food Vit C to buy, I couldn’t find any — although such supplements do exist, I later found, via a non allopathic health care provider. But whole food Vitamin C Complex supplements are not available over the counter in health food stores.
There is a world of difference between Ascorbic Acid and naturally occurring Vitamin C as found in Nature.
I’ve really been shocked by my experience with raw dairy products– I had shunned milk all my adult life as “cow pus in a bottle.” But I became curious after running into a number of early 20th C articles on the Selene River Press by those pioneering nutritionists who were upset about pasteurization, and connecting its introduction with the proliferation of many degenerative diseases like arthritis and tooth decay, because it killed the nutrition and friendly bacteria in the milk; and I believe it compromised the utilization of calcium.
So whereas it had been known as a highly nutritious whole food — one scientific experiment involved living on it exclusively for two months, with no deleterious effects except a Vitamin C deficiency; pasteurization changed all that.
The first jug I bought sat in my fridge for days, so fearful was I to ingest it, as though it were a bottle of arsenic, or a rattlesnake. But then I dove in, via a protein shake, instead of water. I kid you not, I had a surge of energy hit my body. Now I rely on it, as a primary food — yoghurt, kefir, butter, milk, cream for my coffee.
And from L Kinder:
I’ve studied a lot of alternative health literature especially since 1996 and the best I’ve found is herbalist James Sloane. He had a site which is still up called http://medcapsules.com and he had a forum on Curezone.com called Truth in Medicine.
James Sloane said here and other places on his forum that amla berry powder has the best vitamin C. But it tastes terrible, so I put it in 00 capsules. My brother has a device that makes it easier to put the powder in the capsules. Sloane said acerola cherry is second best and rosehip powder is third best. The rosehip powder actually tastes pretty good. I think acerola is pretty expensive. A good source of these and other herbs is starwest-botanicals.com/ which has them in sizes of 1 lb bags or larger and sometimes quarter lb bags too. Another source for many supplements, not just herbs, is http://vitacost.com
Miles mentioned taking multivitamins and minerals. I doubt if those are worthwhile, especially with the iodine contents. Vitamin C is best from Amla berry powder or rosehip powder etc. Sloane says it competes with glucose for insulin uptake, as insulin carries both. So it’s best to take C separate from food about half an hour before meals. Otherwise, there’s not enough insulin to grab all of the C. He says C goes first to the adrenal glands to deal with stress and excess then goes to blood vessel repair etc. But he says over 1500 mg a day tends to harm the kidneys I think. B5 as from rice bran is also needed by the adrenal glands. He says magnesium-malate and -citrate are the most usable forms of magnesium, most others being fairly toxic. Mag-Mal and Mag-Cit are good for softening plaque in blood vessels and for preventing muscle cramps, high blood pressure etc. Lecithin granules are good for removing plaque from blood vessels and for brain problems etc. So those supplements can pretty much prevent heart attacks and strokes. Magnesium and zinc are the only minerals most of us need, I think. A lot of herbs are good for numerous major diseases. Chaparral and pau D’arco are likely very good for killing viruses that cause cancer. Silica is another important mineral, but the best way to get it is by putting a tablespoon of D.E. (diatomaceous earth) in a jar of water, letting it set for some hours or a day and taking a glass of water from the top now and then. It forms orthosilicic acid in water, the most usable form of silica. The D.E. lasts a few months in the bottom of the jar.
Something on tooth decay from Alex Illi:
Most common tooth problems (such as cavities, caries) IMO and in my experience stem from brushing teeth with commercial toothpaste (salt would be enough), especially before meals, e.g. commonly before breakfast, or too soon after meals. The brushing and soap-like paste eradicate the protective layer produced naturally around the teeth. After meals, especially those containing sugar and starchy carbohydrates, simply rinsing with water would be better. Because remaining carbohydrates are broken down by normal digestive enzymes and symbiotic bacteria in the mouth under production of acids, which can easily corrode the enamel if the protective film is not around the teeth. Some small plaque is also normal and no matter of concern, especially behind the lower front row. Since about ten years practically all US-Americans seem to be concerned having abnormally whitened teeth, and I predict they’ll get lots of additional dental probs later on. Cavities seem to always quickly go away after some sporadic “oil-pulling” (you can use any type of edible vegetable oil), especially if assisted by one drop of neem-tincture (very bitter, please spit out after about 1 minute, then rinse with water).
And here were two videos of Dr. Peter Glidden that were shared that I found very informative:
AND:
I listened to interview with the late Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and he some interesting thoughts on the current medical system and I think it can also me said to apply to other rackets that the Phoenician Navy are running.
Dr. Gonzalez had been mentored by Dr. Robert A. Good which has been the president of the ‘Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’ presently situated on Manhattan. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez have also worked there so he knew it from the inside. The initial historic funding for ‘Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’ came from a group which included John Jacob Astor III. Then a lot of funding came from the Rockefellers who, from just the Wikipedia page linked above, gave in 1934 – 3.000.000 $ and a block of land on Manhattan to the now called ‘Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’!
Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez having worked at ‘Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’ knew what he was talking about when he says this in an interview (41min 0s and onwards):
“I have no illusion or delusion that somehow, you know, I’m going to change the conventional medical. It’s like a big battleship, it’s not going to change it’s too powerful they’re too ingrained the doctors in there and they’re not going to change for anybody. They think they’re the smartest people on earth and what they know is the only thing anyone needs to know, they’re not going to change. You have to start from scratch, you have to let that system exist in a parallel universe and then start from scratch with a completely new system that is based on nutrition and diet and appropriate psychology and even spirituality…”
“You have to start from scratch you can’t change what already exists, you can’t make what already exists better, never going to happen. I’ve come out of that world believe me I know and I’ve tried to make inroads, you know, if we spent years trying to get our book published, from our Kelly study, we couldn’t do it. I know how resistant they are, how rigid and authoritarian and dogmatic they are. You have to start from scratch and the fact is when you start from scratch with a nutritional model it’s actually gonna work better, so you beat them in the market place.”

I just want to add that I think that looking further into Nicholas Gonzalez is probably a complete dead end. Anyway I thought that his comment on the dogma and the authoritarian ways of the medical system was interesting. Especially in the light that medicine is one of the largest industries in the world, important for the Phoenician Navy. Sick people are easier to control for them.

I just came across this study where the authors hypothesize that vitamin A toxicity is a mediating factor in vaccine injury.
From the study “Vaccination may reproduce, to a normally minor extent, the pathogenesis of many infectious diseases, such as flu-like signs and symptoms. Based on our hypothesis, this involves a mild degree of activation of retinoid pathways and generally mild acute “side-effects” that are manifestations of hypervitaminosis A; injury due to vaccines involves retinoid overaction and/or accumulation, liver damage, and the spillage of higher amounts of stored retinoids into the circulation. Just as in the case of natural infection by a single agent, the mobilization and secretion of RBP (retinol binding protein) from the liver are impaired, leading to lowered serum retinol concentrations. Multiple vaccinations administered at the same time or in close succession—as in the childhood vaccination schedule—could therefore induce greater liver dysfunction and retinoid accumulation than one or very few vaccinations, resulting in adverse effects that reproduce the spectrum of acute features associated with infectious diseases and their complications, including tissue damage and hypersensitivity disorders.”
And further that “Aluminum salts may also increase RA (retinoic acid) concentrations and expression, since some of their effects, e.g., dendritic cell activation and the stimulation of uric acid production, are those of RA itself [89]. Based on this model, retinoid-induced liver damage related to multiple vaccinations leads to a transient form of cholestatic liver dysfunction in which stored retinoids enter the circulation, causing a broad range of adverse effects as manifestations of vA toxicity. Bile normally drains from the liver through the gall bladder and common bile duct into the duodenum. However, when regurgitated into the circulation, bile may be particularly hazardous, as it contains four-fold higher concentrations of retinol than serum and other extrahepatic tissues [90].
Our hypothesis is that vaccination-associated adverse effects in young children are due to liver damage and vitamin A intoxication. For instance, vomiting and bulging fontanelles due to increased intracranial pressure are symptoms of hypervitaminosis A [91] and are often reported following vaccination [92,93,94]. Features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also resemble those of acute and chronic hypervitaminosis”
Vitamin A then also links to the concept of maternal (or child) immune activation as a cause of autism. As described in the paper quoted above, immune activation is accompanied by release of vitamin A since vitamin A is used by the immune system to fight infections, but seemingly also because sometimes an infection can lead to liver damage and spillage of extra vitamin A into the circulation. It may not only be vitamin A that is the problem with immune activation as the immune system is actively involved in nervous development and disruptions to immune function can easily be imagined to result from harmful changes in a multitude of immune signalling molecules. I think there is a growing literature on this out there, but I have not studied it closely.
Link to the paper that suggested maternal immune activation is a cause of neurological disorders.

If they are on the right track with this A/retinol research, then this is just one more piece of evidence indicting vaccinations. There is no “safe” vaccine, there is no “harmless” vaccine. Vaccines are injections of foreign and toxic material that can only cause disease/damage, not prevent it. Vaccines are an insult to health, the intentional infliction of harm.
Both the Mawson paper and your second link “that suggested maternal immune activation is a cause of neurological disorders” ignore the elephant in the room, the foundational injury inflicted on virtually all unborn children, ultrasound. Ultrasound is proven (with a capital P) to cause neurological damage to fetuses, and is the obvious initial nervous tissue assault that allows other downstream insults (such as vaccines) to the child’s body to have maximum deleterious effects. As one quote from the referenced material below states: “Vaccines are secondary, one of the several subsequent environmental stressors that can trigger “autism” in the already ultrasound-damaged child.”
It is possible to deduce potential ultrasound damage from the available western literature, but it is the uncovering of definitive studies done by the Chinese that proves the seriousness of ultrasound damage to ALL fetuses.

I wouldn’t want to teach genetic changes in plants (which I think is more suck it and see than specific) as it encourages the belief in controlled, specific genetic changes in humans through the manipulation of genes, which I do not believe in. After extensive study of the history of medicine/biology, I have serious doubts about the ‘existence’ of DNA.
In all areas of knowledge, we have been lied to extensively since the beginning of the 20th century. I have no faith in any so called research on health, nutrition, medicine or ill-health/dis-ease.

@Graham –
The point clearly made in the video was that full-spectrum light is necessary for the tomato to be healthy.

So he/they couldn’t resist bringing ‘virus’ into the mix, postulating some role in this for virus, the usual gambit. Reality? Toxicity due to reduction of ‘light nutrients’, a disturbance in the plant chemistry.
Not talking about photons, or light’s effects on humans. Simply comparing this tomato experiment with another toxic situation, Wuhan, where virus is blamed for disease (pneumonia, etc.) actually caused by air-borne toxins.

Matt, thanks for clarifying, I still haven’t found time to watch the vid but what you’re saying makes perfect sense to me now.
Bad light in the sense of incomplete light due to the filtration by the glass. A bit like bad food becuase its incomplete in nutrients, grown in impoverished soil potentially and causing illness in us via subtle malnutrition, providing an excuse to dream up another virus to blame.

You also see in the video using ‘activity’ around the cells or cell cultures as an indication of virus activity, ignoring that there is zero evidence for such an assumption, as one would expect activity in the first place, and one would expect an uptick or change in activity as the cells environment is modified in the experiment. Of course nowadays the rabbit out of the hat is the gimmick of causing “cytopathic effects” in the cultures, thereby showing ‘proof’ of isolation of sars-cov2, as discussed here already.

I used light therapy to cure Plantar Fasciitis on my right foot. I did not know what it was at the time. But it had bothered me for quite a while. Painful bumps in the arch of my foot.
I was looking into light therapy and bought the Spectro-chrome colored filters. I decided to try green on the bottom of my foot. I slept with the green shaded incandescent light on my foot. I did it about 3 or 4 times. The bumps went away entirely in about a week.
Then about six months later it appeared under my left foot. I did it again. Again, gone in about a week.

Welcome. I was diagnosed with “T2D” maybe 15 years ago, and yes I tried metformin, but I soon realized it was not a sugar problem, it was an excess insulin problem. So I cut out almost all carbs (but began using fats as energy) I laugh when I go to the doctor as I cant really have high blood sugar (I dont eat any carbs) and I feel great. It is also easier to fast or skip meals when no carbing, as your body uses up fat reserves, and fasting seem to induce a variiety of antioxidant pathways.
So I am still curious about what will happen as I had a variety of other chronic conditions…(becarefull though no carb diets are better than “some carb some fat” diets that traditionally have been called high fat…as the carbs are burned first and the fats stored..I believe one really want to be burning fats as energy)
Good Luck to you and your husband, as these comorbidities we pick up as we age are not healthy..and metabolic health is still an open question.

This is frustrating: I just typed out a long answer to you but accidentally navigated away from the page when I was nearly finished. Let’s see if I can remember what I wrote…
I think your husband can benefit from a low vitamin A diet and quite possibly improve or cure his T2D. I say that for a few reasons:
Unfortunately we forgot to ask about insulin resistance and diabetes, but one respondent wrote that her husband’s type 1 diabetes had been cured by the diet. It might not have been type 1 since doctors often misdiagnose that, but either way it’s pretty incredible. (Another person has written on his blog that her husband’s color-blindness had been cured by the low vA diet, which I found astounding even though I’ve heard of incredible recoveries from people on the diet.)
Yes we do have ISX, but we also ingest other forms of vitamin A besides beta carotene: retinyl esters, retinol and retinoic acid. Those will have a similar effect as what happened in the mice, since they are not limited by ISX.
There was another study where the researchers induced celiac (gluten sensitivity) in mice, and found that they were only able to do so in the presence of retinoic acid.
The damage that can be caused by vitamin A is nearly endless. It poisons mitochondria, has varied neurotoxic effects, induces vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and even shortens telomeres! (And the list goes on and on…)
Here is Grant Genereux’s take on the problems with statins, especially as it interacts with vitamin A (spoiler alert: it makes vit A toxicity worse). It confirms thechemicaluniverse’s conclusion that inflammation is the cause of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease more generally.
In terms of solutions, I highly recommend Garrett Smith’s low vitamin A detox protocol. He has done way more than anyone else to develop a dietary plan to heal from vitamin A toxicity and is constantly updating his advice as he learns more: https://www.nutritiondetective.work/
There are several people here following that program and seeing major improvements in their health.

I would suggest that “shingles” is also a case of the body excreting poison? Vit A? It is another ‘dis-ease’ which is appearing at a younger age as Vit A levels are reaching saturation point earlier. I am reminded of this as two weeks into a no Vit A regime, I am loosing weight at about 1kg a week (my body isn’t craving sugar or carbs, which I presume, in its wisdom, it wanted for extra fat to encapsulate the poison) but am getting ‘ghosting’ pains around the area where I had shingles. GG’s book wonders where the poison will go when the fat disappears but gives not answers – I don’t think excess weight was one of his problems. I’m also getting mild brain fog.
As I don’t use chemicals on my body, I have noticed that after certain foods, there is a change in the odour of my perspiration (not garlic!) – which I presume is another way the body releases poison.
Sooooooooo, I’ve decided to slow the weight loss down to 1lb a week to enable me to deal with what appears to be the release of poison from the fat – I’ll have to eat chocolate (non g/f syrup or palm oil) but someone’s got to do it; increase perspiration levels; massage homemade rosemary oil into the tingling skin areas and learn another language for the brain fog.
I would suggest that anyone going on a Vit A detox who is carrying excess weight should see it as a long term project (12 months) and not go all out to ‘sort it’ in a month or two.

The link you posted I think showed what you said about our bodies are complicated.
I don’t think anybody have a complete understanding of how to deal with all the health issues that exists. Since chronic vitA toxicity is a quite new concept I think there is a lot that is simply unknown. I see Dr. Garrett Smith is one searching the unknown for helpful things in regards to healing from excessivly stored vitA.
I am in Dr. Garrett Smith’s program and before I join I was a bit sceptical because there a ton of “scam”/low value programs online regarding health. For instance I’ve looked at a completely different online program, by the Concussion Coach, and they used a free webinar with a chat filled with bots (with peerage names, no less) to lure people in. I discovered this by joining one of their free webinars twice and that is how I realised that in the included chat there were lots of the same names sayimg the same exact things as they did the first time I joined and of course there were no response when I wrote something in the chat. Probably wasn’t a real chat even. The webinar was also just a pre-recorded video, of course.
I want to say that I would ecommend Dr. Smith’s program for those that think they might benefit from it and have the idea to do a low vitA diet for a long time.. I think what makes Dr. Garrett Smith stand out is that he has willingly changed when he has discovered that he had been wrong on things in the past, like he was wrong about vitA before he himself read Grant Genereux’s free ebooks.

I think I disagree with you on several points in your post, which is fine by me.
I don’t see what is particularly wrong with the method Dr. Garrett Smith might be using while also providing lots of free content but not as much as Grant Genereux (who has another job). Perhaps you could point out what you think is wrong with that method?
My take on power and money:
My guess is that the Phoenician Navy often uses the terms power interchangeably with money which I think in some way explains their obsession with money. More money for them is less money and power for you. I think the Phoenician Navy are mostly interested in the power difference between themselves and us – exactly like a bully.
What do you do against bullies?
-You stand up against a bully, in any meaningful way, without fear.
Knowledge can be is helpful but what type of knowledge do you think we lack in order to stand up against the bullies?
My take on the part where you write: “The other ‘enemy’ is our lack of knowledge.”:
I think that part of your post almost makes it seems like the Phoenician Navy are infinitely stronger than everyone else, but they are not gods, mere humans who have shunned away from light. What godly powers do they have? Do they control the movement of the sun and the planets?
-NO
My take on the part where you write: “‘They’ have thousands of years of knowledge, experimentation, true history, to which we have no access.”:
What I think they are ahead of us in is mostly inbreeding and in their proficiency for lying, stealing and just being plain mean. If you have read Miles’ paper “The Spirit and the Muse” I think that that paper points out that the Phoenician Navy is way behind us in spiritual and emotional development. There is light (photons) and the Phoenician Navy lacks it overall. In another way connecting it to my take on power and money:
Who would seriously look at a bully and think that a bully is the high point of human development?
-NO ONE
My take on the part where you write “What other ‘peoples’ have they wiped out using the “VitA” poison? It takes about 150 years.”
I would be nice to see where you got the number 150 years from. Maybe some civilizations have fallen due to hypervitaminosis A accumulating over time for a number of generations. I haven’t looked into it but maybe you can share that knowledge?
Regarding retinoids (vitamin A), I think it is a bit wrong to single it out. Retinoids is only one of many poisons existing in our environment but it is often natural (except fortification, golden rice (GMO-rice) and maybe supplements). For comparison glyphosate is purely a synthetic poison. Glyphosate is a really huge one as Miles Mathis has mentioned quite recently here in the Health Matter thread. Glyphosate is probably making most other toxin even more toxic than by themselves. I think there are some good information on the effects of glyphosate from Stephanie Seneff (even though she is a “Honorary Board Member” of the Weston (Andrew Valleau) Price Foundation. https://www.westonaprice.org/about-us/board-of-directors/

On evaluating studies it might probably depend a lot on what type of field it is.

First thing I like to look for are graphs, tables and illustrations as per the proverb “A picture says more than a thousand words”.
If you are looking at medical studies I would try to look at the study length. Short term studies are often just try-out studies to see if the subject is worthy further and longer studies.
Deciding criterias that will falsify something is in many situation really useful for deciding for or against something. Nothing will probably fit everything on a wish list of good things but there are few things you can’t stand and accept.

Almost every member of the NYC Quaker meeting in 1847 was a relative or ancestor. We were so intermarried the greeting we gave one another in those days was “Cousin!” Fortunately, my grandfather married “out of the meeting.””

Yeah I mentioned his Quaker background awhile back. He is actually one of my favorite herbalists.
All I can say he hasn’t done me wrong (yet). I’ve found his book and online courses very useful. If you watch his online video courses he seems to know his stuff. For example I had this tightness in my chest since yesterday, but I’ve been drinking a herbal infusion of Mugwort (which has an affinity for the lungs), ginger powder, and ground up Anise seeds. Already feeling much better. The trick to defeating/preventing colds and flus is to keep that ‘Fire in the belly’ (an important concept in herbalism) going, keeping the gut health in check.
On the surface I may seem like a pretty spooky guy myself. My last name Cox, plus my mother was a Kaiser, plus I’m now 33 and live in Troy, OH, and plus my dad’s maternal side were Jones and Quakers. I planned on including an addendum in an upcoming paper where I include what I’ve found about the Quaker connection. I even bought a scanner and plan on scanning the Jones genealogy book that was handed to me for everyone to read, which includes some spooky info.
Long story short, Samuel Jones (a Quaker) founded the county I reside in, alongside two others, with land granted to him directly by President Monroe. No living members of my family knows this, and I didn’t know until recently. One of his sons was married in a Quaker meetinghouse, and guess which number their marriage was? Theirs was the 666th Quaker marriage. Yeah.. no.
My guess is that after the initial founding of the counties by Quaker fronts (they founded counties all over the Midwest, being the spooks’ “boots on the ground”), either the spookyness was highly compartmentalized and only a few members knew what they were up to, or they were kept completely in the dark as to not really know how or why they were being used. Just like controlled opposition fronts today, most members don’t realize they are manning ghost ships. Additionally, both sides of my family were/are Catholic as far back as we can study (minus the Jones family), so that probably kept us in the dark.
Also many European peasants didn’t have surnames at all prior to moving to America. Everyone having surnames seems to be more of a recent phenomenon of the past 400 years or so. If I’m reading it correctly, only the aristocrats and the PN have surnames and genealogical records that can be traced back thousands of years. My guess is that when the spooks were colonizing the Americas, they gave their own surnames to various colonizing volunteers prior to embarking. Sort of like how owners give their pets their own surnames out of affection. Plus the real spooks could hide better behind legions of common people who also carry their surname.

Also does not specify whether vitamin a tested refers to retinoids, retinoic acid, carotenes etc, meaning it might not be a reliable value… I seem to recall Garrett Smith recommending only refined oils to eliminate vitamin a. Yet refined oils go through a heavier manufacturing process which also eliminates/reduces other vitamins and minerals as well, making me wonder if there is truly much value left in them? A little bit damned if you do, damned if you don’t. But I’m thinking out loud here. Don’t have the answers yet.

Scrub off with baking soda that reacts with body oils to make soap, or borax washing soda. I am going to try garden lime, edible lime like CAL Mexican food product. Garden lime is actually food-grade and often says so on the sack.

For the people who like hygiene extremes, there’s the option of either bathing in toilet clean water ,or adding C No5 in your H2o…like in movie ‘Les Visiteurs’ / Just Visiting (frenchies from the Middle Ages):

@Lio Good for you if you you don’t smell / think you don’t smell.
The other point is that some people are (much) more SENSITIVE to smells than others, and (both fortunately and unfortunatly) I am quite sensitive to odours (good or bad). I’m one of those who can’t stand all those perfumes/fragrances that some people wear as they tend to give me headaches.
I also have experienced being around people who THINK they smell ok or who are even completely oblivious, when some (others than myself) are aware of that too but nobody dares tell them they stink because they think it is rude or embarrassing or something. That is also a fact, which is not necessarily linked to a medical problem or condition one might have.
I have also seen the state of the towels of people who just rinse in shower water as all the grime from their body stains the clean towels straight after their so-called wash. Rinsing in water is NOT washing.
@Gerard Nordskoven yes Baking soda is very useful as deo substitute, as well as for cleaning, and removing odours.
Personally I haven’t found a 100% natural product for sensitive teeth that solves my problem entirely, other than using a basic homemade sea salt mouthwash now and then.

In this case I believe what I see.
Whatever floats your boat. Just as long as the only-water rinsers / believers don’t wipe their bodies on my nice, freshly cleaned white towels 😉 Thank goodness us free thinkers can laugh at one another’s habits eh.

COVID-19 virus enters the brain, research” strongly suggests”
SARS-CoV-2 virus, like many viruses before it, is” bad news”

hence he virus also is likely to cross into the brain.!!
More and more evidence is coming out ..suffering from cognitive effects, such as brain fog and fatigue.!!!!

Well if Coronavirus is fake, China just did a 1929-style Ukraine-grade erasure like Djugashvili aka Stalin did on farmers. (See: Reed watching from train in “REDS” flim.) because reports are that cell phone listings/owners are down by a couple of kabillion in post-Covid China. Crossing the blood-brain barrier is facilitated by Leaky Gut, with tissue deterioration aggravated by ingesting fake, denatured fats or no fats, fake like hydrogenated oils, or fried oils, as cell walls are made with EFA’s Essential Fatty Acids and feeding cells plastic is like giving a starving dog a rubber bone. Anointing with oil works as EFA’s transmit through the skin. R-Alpha Lipoic Acid “right” twist, eh? strikes in and protects brain tissue as it, too, crosses the blood-brain barrier and cleans up Leaky Gut. 1929-2029 Fatima

Benjamin mentioned Matthew Wood’s Quaker background. While he does get into some wuwu stuff and he can’t see/is accepting COVID as real, perhaps pushing it, I ignore all that and just go straight for the herbal knowledge.
However I did find something more much spookier.
If you go to The Herbal Academy’s website, and look at their team page, you’ll find a Anna Booth Cohen, who describes herself as a folk herbalist who specializes in “plant spirit work, sacred sexual empowerment, and ancestral trauma release.”
https://theherbalacademy.com/author/aboothcohen/
We’re told she hosts the website Herbalistuprising.com
Golly gee whiz a Cohen involved in a “resistance movement”? Nah never would have guessed that! eye roll I bet 33 shekels she is from the Families.
She seems to have a long list of herbalist credentials, but if we read her about page its said she participated in an immersion program run by a Dan Booth Cohen and Emily Volden, called Seeing with your Heart.
https://seeingwithyourheart.com/masterclass/
From the page:
“In 1600, at the end of Queen Elizabeth I’s long reign, a group of merchants and bankers in London came up with a brilliant concept of how to organize international trade, religion and military force into a global empire. Over the next three and a half centuries, they largely succeeded capturing Australia, New Zealand, North America, India, the Gibraltar cliffs, the greater Middle East, a large swath of Africa and the trade centers of China.
They created the global shareholder corporation, in which managers were salaried, short-term and disposable, and ownership was heritable in perpetuity. With that innovation, the London bankers invented an institution that doesn’t subvert its founding values to survive. The corporation’s only raison d’etre is profitability. Unlike governments, religions and universities, which purport to benefit the communities they serve, corporations exist to enrich their shareholder owners. ”
Then it goes on about how they repressed “witches” and killed off the forest spirits, fairies, etc. and then invites alchemists, psychics, shamans, social activists, etc. to their program. We’re told Dan Booth has lead training and workshop courses in 18 countries around the world. Chai.
So yea, wherever you go, there they are controlling the opposition. Here they are trying to surround any real scientific study of herbalism with a lot of wuwu.
And, I can’t think of a better way to help Anna Booth Cohen with her own ancestral trauma by sending her the papers on Salem and Lincoln. I can imagine being from a family of hoaxers and cheats can cause much family trauma. I opened up the Salem paper again and noticed the name Corwin is prominent. Corwin = Cohen? We look up the name Corwin (Curwen) we get many politicans, actors, and a head of M16, Christopher Keith Curwen.
