Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

John 3:17
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Breaking News: Our President said he takes the buns off his McD's burgers now. That means he's doing the Carnivore diet.
Ya'll better get on board!
Yeah, looking at you vegetarians! Why are you so brainwashed by your doctors???!?!
Maybe his buns were stollen
who would have the motive? VP Vance, Sec. of HHS to help the Pres. eat more healthful, Sec. of Agriculture to promote carnivore! An Agatha Christie mystery where many people have motives?
the culprit is obvious... Bill Bar
Cant provide a strong defense against that, just how did he get back in, or who on the inside would be working for Bill Barr to undermine the current administratio
Kek!
🤔😆
that's interesting, love to here about Trump's habits! and I don't eat a lot of meat, not because of any health reasons...think it's from growing up around packing houses☹️ not sure if I could hear the animals, but I've always been bothered by the 'industry'. perhaps Trump promoting 'carnivore' will clean things up...people can start buying local🤠
It breaks my heart to think what horror animals face to be slaughtered. I pray God has mercy on them and lets it be quick. I would’ve not made a good Jew back in Bible days.. all that sacrificing. 🥲
me either^ I don't understand all the fascination with blood!🤢 and yes, thinking of the poor animals/how frightened they must be, was always difficult for me, used to pray for them A lot as a child. now that I'm older, I think much of the industry is based in satanism, keeps us from ascending...all the blood in the rivers, with electrified dams can't be good🫣
I agree. Evil ones love the blood because it represents death and all that comes with. Death, destruction and darkness is their god.
Oh I hope so. I’ve been concerned about his health. Not to be pot kettle especially his weight gain. I’m the last person that should talk about someone overweight.
When we travel we get burgers from McDonald’s, Cookout & local hole in walls. I order with bun at McDonald’s because the ketchup and mustard prevents the cheese from sticking to the bun. Other places I order burger in a boat. I believe McDonald’s charges a cheaper price for just the burger. When I do occasionally get it off the carnivore wagon I feel terrible, burp & bad gas. After fourteen months carnivore I definitely know what I can’t eat. Lettuce makes me so sick. Crazy because I really love a salad. I don’t touch it now. Lemons and limes burn my tongue. I’ve always ordered lemon or lime in my water at restaurants. Last week we went out to eat seafood at the coast. I tasted the lime and lemon my mouth was on fire. I was watching a video of a guy in South America with Dr Anthony Chaffee, the guy said he grew up eating avocados and now can’t because they burn his mouth. He thinks it’s from what they spray on the fruit and vegetables. It’s just crazy and amazing to figure out what has caused gut issues I’ve been plagued with my entire adult life.
Yes, vegans are very unhealthy. I’ve watched many videos of former vegans that are now carnivore. The Vegan craze was started to brainwash people into not eating animals or anything from an animal. In the name of saving the planet, lies, lies & more lies.
When I listen to carnivore stories the major thing I hear is how much better they feel. If you have a lot of inflammation it might take longer to heal, that’s me. Some things might not heal, like joint damage, etc.
I still can’t make myself eat their burgers 🥴
C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (April 9th)
"Thy gentleness hath made me great." — Psalm 18:35
The words are capable of being translated, "Thy goodness hath made me great." David gratefully ascribed all his greatness not to his own goodness, but the goodness of God. "Thy providence," is another reading; and providence is nothing more than goodness in action. Goodness is the bud of which providence is the flower, or goodness is the seed of which providence is the harvest. Some render it, "Thy help," which is but another word for providence; providence being the firm ally of the saints, aiding them in the service of their Lord. Or again, "Thy humility hath made me great." "Thy condescension" may, perhaps, serve as a comprehensive reading, combining the ideas mentioned, including that of humility. It is God's making Himself little which is the cause of our being made great. We are so little, that if God should manifest His greatness without condescension, we should be trampled under His feet; but God, who must stoop to view the skies, and bow to see what angels do, turns His eye yet lower, and looks to the lowly and contrite, and makes them great. There are yet other readings, as for instance, the Septuagint, which reads, "Thy discipline"—Thy fatherly correction—"hath made me great;" while the Chaldee paraphrase reads, "Thy word hath increased me." Still the idea is the same. David ascribes all his own greatness to the condescending goodness of his Father in heaven. May this sentiment be echoed in our hearts this evening while we cast our crowns at Jesus' feet, and cry, "Thy gentleness hath made me great." How marvellous has been our experience of God's gentleness! How gentle have been His corrections! How gentle His forbearance! How gentle His teachings! How gentle His drawings! Meditate upon this theme, O believer. Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened ere thou fallest asleep tonight.
Beautiful, thank you AD for sharing. I love these. ❤️🙏🏻

Long story short
Did Vitamin D supplementation since I have been indoors for a year, increased calcium via food, and also started b12
Just last week, had vertigo for the first time in my life ever. Turns out the d3 supplement increased my blood calcium level and the b12 ate away at my potassium, which led to ear crystal dislodging
Already recovering, slowly but surely, but it is frustrating and it was quite scary. Off everything artificial of added. The only supplement I take is my mag powder but I am now hitting 3500-4000 potassium off diet alone
Real > fake. I was debating it before but I am convinced in most cases, d3 supplementation is toxic
Glad you’re recovering. I just read on TS that Gregg Phillips is having some complications from high-dose D3 he was taking as part of his cancer protocol. He, I believe, had kidney issues.
I invite you to try and chew/swallow one clove a day for a week and to report: for the first time in weeks, my neck let me sleep last night.
👉🏻 See this video: https://youtu.be/GwxOavvgqA0
You should also eat a clove of raw garlic that's been gently crushed, every day.
Just one?🤭
great reminder, thanks! great for fighting viruses, healthy blood, and fighting off certain parasites. I let it sit for 10 min. after gently crushing the garlic clove, and if I understand right, allicin compound from the garlic is formed and most potent right around 10 minutes.
Yeah, letting it sit for 5-10 mins is important to get its full benefits, but tehre are many times I have let the clove sit and forgot about it completely 🤣
5 minutes before reading the invite, I tried 1 clove. I suppose I am doing this out of order. Chewing, then reading the invite, then watching the video.
🤓

So I'd switched to Brave browser a few months/year ago across all my devices. The past couple weeks on my Android phone Brave had been glitchy with slow loading tabs upon switching. Then yesterday trying to search for something the results show for about a half second then the whole tab goes blank.
I've got a question going on their support community and wondering what I may switch to next. Just in case. Thinking Firefox probably. I've liked Brave and no issues other than my phone so hopefully can get it squared away.
Any browser suggestions?
https://www.ecosia.org/
It’s a Russian browser. I can find things here I can’t find on google, brave, etc. Be aware there’s spam links, look at the info on links before clicking. If you like games they are free, ads you can close and not click. https://yandex.com/
I found these online a while back. Probably not for every day searches. A couple of them I’ve used for herb studies I’ve never found on any mainstream search sites.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents. 70% of them are free!
I searched google alternatives, unbiased, non tracking search engines on ecosia. These are a few results. I skimmed them, can’t verify if they are good. FYI: DuckDuckGo is owned by google. It’s usually recommended over google, probably by paid google supporters.

I would love to find a search engine for clothes, house products, beauty products etc that doesn’t put Amazon, eBay, target, Walmart in the results. Can’t find anything useful anymore and the local stores suck.
EDIT!! I searched google, ecosia & yandex: vitamins & minerals in an egg. I got the exact same results in google & ecosia. Yandex I got most of the same gov (USA, UK & other countries), health sites probably by the gov. Except on Yandex I also got links by well known doctors that have social media and YouTube accounts, they talk about natural remedies and heathy foods.
