New Channel About Scapegoating!

 

Here's a new channel for scapegoats, or now ex-scapegoats! Mandeville's book looks interesting and I plan to order it. She points out a lot of worthwhile facts about the scapegoating family system. I am glad someone is addressing what happens to those who are scapegoated by their entire families. 

No to Transhumanist Hell

I may write more on what transhumanism is, and what they have planned and were things are going. Humanity is part of nature and those who have forgotten it, want us in a technological cage. I've never bought crypto in my life, because I always considered it the gateway to digital money and the loss of freedom. AI is soul-less with no human conscience and it's sad they want it running so much. Musk pushes his Neuralink. Food made in labs, forget it too. Go research what is in Impossible Burgers! I'm glad I never touched that stuff.

 The internet has been a good tool in some ways but definitely they have pushed it for more surveillance rather than connection. No to the "Internet of Bodies" and other nefarious plans. Go watch some old shows from the 1970s, yes real life was not that idealistic, but you can see quickly what was different. Think about what the technology is doing. Why are they using it in certain ways? Those are all things to think about. 

Naturopathy, Alternative Medicine and Health

some of my vitamins, I need to get more next week....

I've been reading about and studying more Naturopathy or what some consider alternative medicine. Not all alternative medicine has worked for me. I've tried various forms of it, but there's still some valuable areas especially in terms of herbs, nutrition and more. I do own some naturopathy books but want to add to my library. There's definitely more supplements I need to get. Obtaining healthy food is often difficult, summer is easier with the veggie stands but recently I have added quinoa, and nutritional yeast to my diet. I believe obesity is worsened by malnutrition.

 The other week I was watching this Youtube Channel about how a Japanese family ate and they eat a higher quantity of food then we do, [all those desserts!] but I noticed how high the quality was, and the sheer variety of food! They have multiple fruits and vegetables at every meal. They are all very thin including the wife of the house who definitely is into cooking and the world star in housewifery.

 This is often a financial thing I face with food, where there isn't the money for that many ingredients or items, and I found myself wondering how much of obesity is related to sheer nutritional deficiencies, it makes you wonder. I used yellow squash I had in three recent meals but my meals are limited in the number of different items. Some obesity researchers do believe obesity is a disease of malnutrition. I KNOW that with my serious malabsorption problems, that doesn't help either. 

We do have an obesity epidemic in this country from the bad quality of food. It feels harder and harder to get the "decent stuff" too. Most of the grocery store to me is a waste land of processed garbage. I had the thought if I got to live in Japan for a year and had the same amount of money as this family and didn't eat their desserts and chips, I'd probably lose 100 without even trying.  

I am trying to make a decision about seeing a functional doctor which is a doctor that combines naturopathy and allopathic medicine. I have to keep all my regular doctors and specialists but wouldn't mind seeing one who could pay attention to the more root causes of my health problems, especially the autoimmune issues and pain issues. My husband wants me to be careful since my medical needs are so immense, but there's a point you want to try anything that will work. One worry I do have is usually insurance only wants to cover allopathic treatments. Sadly my financial realities have kept me from the naturopaths far too often. One online friend advised me, "Go to naturopath books yourself and learn, that's what I did. I am even new friends with a naturopath. I have bought products from her, she grows herbs and makes tea. She shares some information with me. I plan to pay her for sessions when I am able to. 

I'm not sure if the functional doctor takes my insurance yet. One of my habits is going to a health food vitamin shop. I learned what supplements would help with my Meniere's disease and have taken some to help my ear ringing, I have lost so much hearing but believe they have helped. 

One latest venture is I need to examine dandelion root tea, and make sure it does not contradict with my medications, because I have read it helps with kidney stones. Not every regular doctor is open to alternative remedies so raising these issues isn't always comfortable especially in checking new treatments, herbs or nutritional remedies. I wish regular doctors would pay more attention to nutrition and remedies like this.

My kidney stones at least have been "stable" lately but this is based on a lot of caution, cooking, and vegetarian meals. However this tea could be a back up during "bad times". I don't want to die of a calcium oxide kidney stone. Surgery is not as easy for me. You know it's scary 6 years ago I had to give up all red meat, for a normal person that would have taken some weight off. Every meal I eat I have to calculate how much possible kidney stone damage there is, can I afford a little turkey on the sandwich? Is that too much tofu? It's not easy. 

 Drinking milk with meals to bind calcium oxide has helped, that was advice given to me by a kidney specialist so I still value what so called "regular doctors" instruct me on. One thing I do want to buy is a vitamin supplement to help with insulin resistance that I found to help in terms of weight loss. I've already found the supplement. 

One friend of mine swears by Chinese medicine, we have one place here that practices it. I did try accupuncture years ago, it simply did not work, so trust me even as I venture into the alternative health world deeper, I have to see what works. 

They opened this new vegetarian/health food restaurant in a neighboring town but I have to wait for some money to go over there and try it. They have some healing teas and other alternatives too. 

Two examples of Naturopath Books I own:

Things that didn't work for me during my life:

Iridiology

Ear Candling
Acupuncture

Homeopathy--I don't buy the underlying concept.

Traditional Weight Loss Diets. [lol obvious isn't it]

Things that have worked for me during my life:

Various vitamins and supplements [I believe zinc and C, mouth rinsing with mouth wash have kept me from getting Covid, but that could be N95 masks, isolation and germ-phobia too]
Nutritional things have worked, except on weight loss, I used to make this special soup, parsley and mushroom when my CHF was really bad off, that would take fluids off. 
In 2010, I was about to be diagnosed with colitis, maybe even on edge of Chrohns [this was way beyond present IBS] and cut all GMOs out and increased fiber, etc, and was able to fix this problem.

Cutting all sugar out cut thrush out--though I learned I have to be careful with cottage cheese. I haven't eaten desserts in years except extremely rarely so when I say sugar, that means stuff like juice, HFCS in spaghetti sauce, etc.

Drawing salves

Massage. [it does help Lipedema/Lymphedema, Flexitouch is like mechanical massage but I wish I could afford regular massage too like on neck]

Things I want to try:

Diet far higher in cooked vegetables and more variety. I am making homemade tomato soup very soon today. Finances does impact this. Dinner probably will be some chicken and cabbage stir fry.
Chinese medicine
Other herbal remedies I've looked into.
I need to add more exercise to life but need something that will work, some fun, safe with Covid--that's the hard part. 
Some supplements addressing weight/insulin resistance/hormonal issues.

More mindfulness/meditation exercises

Please tell me about your own experiences in alternative or naturopathic medicine that has worked for you.

The Era of Too Many Dr. Evils

 How many bad billionaires are directing our lives? We are stuck in an era of too many Dr. Evils managing our lives. From Bill Gates to Elon Musk, just because these people have tons of cash, we are supposed to do what they say? It's pretty sick. I've talked enough about Gates dirty deeds with pandemics and vaccines, but what about Elon Musk, the guy who wants to put Neuralink in people's brains who showed up wearing a "Devil's champion" outfit for Halloween, with baphomet insignia included? Sometimes you can tell the elite love all the attention they get. Some billionaires people don't pay as much attention to, but they are creating havoc too like Peter Thiel. If you read about his company Palantir, I warn people on the "Republican" side, don't think the Republican party is going to save us from the biosecurity fascist state either. Some would say just ignore all these guys, but too many of them are having an influence on our daily lives.

 I am taking a break from Twitter, I felt like I was talking to mostly bots or people "employed" to be there. There probably was some real people but it felt weird overall. I haven't posted anything there for a week and got some kind of Spam warning today so looks like Musk and pals want to censor me even days later. I have a Gettr and Gab account but for a non-Republican, those places are kind of weird too, it's all dominantly right wing, though I do read some Covid related news on both accounts. 

I hate both parties so don't fit in anywhere. I did vote but it sucked, even the third party people were horrific, of course most Republicans were financed by the DeVos family--more evil billionaires. I voted for too many Democrats which made me feel like a hypocrite but the local guy promising to protect from rent hikes was far more enticing than the financier moving in monied circles. I did vote for some other third party candidates but wondered why some of the higher office third party candidates were SO bad. It was tempting to throw my ballot in the trash, sometimes wonder why I even vote but the "civic duty" habit took over. I worried I made mistakes all over the place but the nut who was against all abortion even in case of mother's death scared the hell out of me. Another nutter--third party-wanted to do away with all birth control.

 I don't mind information I did learn there on Twitter, but I don't like Musk and hanging out on what is now his playground felt creepy to me, so I am on break. With the Covid topic, it got tiring, the normal world still isn't waking up even as celebrities and others drop dead all over and there's no solution to actually deal with or end any of this. Most people are done with it all in the real world.  Most even "normal people" have jumped off the unending booster bus which means they are as unvaxxed as me now. 

 However because of my health problems, I'm kind of "trapped" for now, but am going to rethink things this spring. I'm housebound a lot anyway during the winter. If it's endemic now one can't live in a cage forever. It's been three years. I do think some people like me hoped to wake people up but but the billionaire own system of control for every demographic is a juggernaut that's taken over. They shut down everyone's critical thinking where now the absurd runs the show. That's why nothing makes sense anymore. You think billionaires live in any damn reality? Their money alone means they live in fantasy land and now it's spilled out on the rest of us.

Update: Im going to still post on Twitter a little my social credit score is in the toilet anyway. I just have to make sure I don't spend too much time on it.

Self-Care

 This meme is a good reminder, don't waste time on abusers or others who are focused on misunderstanding you. There's a lot of system lovers who get angry at me, but why waste time on people like that? People don't like those who question the status quo. That is nothing new to me. They can have it ignoring things as they fall apart. They are fully integrated into a toxic system and have adopted a lot of the negative viewpoints where everything is about "winning", "competition" and where all empathy has been destroyed.  When many of us ACONs went no contact we realized we were fighting losing battle. We were arguing with people committed to misunderstanding and often hurting us.

Sadly, television and too much media, put forth this illusion that people if you commmunicate "hard" enough, will suddenly see the light and wake up. That is not usually how things work out. Many even in this Covid mess, decided the way of peace was stating their stance, and then letting it go because constant arguments weren't going to go anywhere even as you watched the proceedings in horror. Yeah, I know that one is not easy. Some people don't communicate to understand, many do and that's where conversations can blossom into connection, but many communicate to seek to dominate or manipulate.
