Interesting idea. IDK if it would be a workable strategy in this case but Q has repeatedly highlighted the use of Class Action Lawsuits, for example:
#1105 2018-04-09 17:12:03 (UTC+1) CLASS ACTION lawsuits ARE VERY EFFECTIVE. 2 BILLION PEOPLE. GLOBAL. SCALE. REGULATION OR KILL? PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE. Q
Thank you for the term, Greekish.
"Conspiracy theorist" was coined by the SeeEyeA decades ago, designed to instantly categorize anyone who didn't buy the narrative as a "whack-job, wrong-headed idiot" -- someone whose every comment should be ignored.
It worked. "Conspiracy theorist" is as powerful as "racist" at refuting someone's clear thinking and truthful speech -- among the MSM-injured Normies, that is.
Fuck that. Conspiracy analyst it is.
At the top of this article I mentioned that my list of useless vitamin supplements has 6 vitamins on it, so here they are:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin A and beta carotene
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin B6
- Multi-vitamins
- Vitamin D
Good Lord. -- There are in fact thousands of studies showing the benefits of those and many other supplements, including life-saving and life-extending benefits for more than a few. This article is blatant gas-lighting.
The article is titled "Stop Taking Vitamin D Already!" so here's a smidge of what readers are being gaslit to ignore about Vitamin D --
-
Vitamin D Supplementation Reduces COVID-19 Deaths by 64 Percent: Study
-
Study: Vitamin D reduces risk for metastatic cancer, death by 17%
So apparently, "not dying" from cancer or COVID is "useless."
In Oregon, EVERY vote is by mail -- there ARE no polling places, you vote by mail (or by drop box) or you don't vote. Twenty+ years of this have wrecked Portland, Eugene, and taken a toll throughout the state.
We can't vote ourselves out of this, certainly not in places where mail-in voting is mandated or even a major factor.
Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution states:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
What does "a Republican Form of Government" mean?
re·pub·lic | rəˈpəblik | noun
a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
Election fraud MEANS that The People are unable to elect their representatives, because fraud over-rides what the voters choose. The West Coast is naturally conservative (Reagan voted in as CA governor twice, and GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also elected twice, serving from November 17, 2003 – January 3, 2011). Yet Gavin Newsome, who treats CA worse than Biden treats America, survived a recall vote in 2021 -- almost as credible to me as that Biden "won" the 2020 vote for President. Election fraud prevents even cleaning things up via recall.
Cleaning up the nation's election fraud may be beyond the power of ordinary citizens at this point. I believe we'll need to have the Federal government step in and do its clearly mandated job of assuring that The People actually get to chose who governs them in these states.
Wow. Quite a response, Morpheus11, and I appreciate the civil commentary and generous level of detail.
Your questions, among other things, have made clear to me that I am flatly unprepared to hold an opinion on this topic; my view is entirely from the mainstream -- something I laugh at where many other things are concerned. But the fact is, I grew up with and have never seen a need to question things like:
-
Penicillin kills certain bacteria
-
Probiotics improve the gut biota
-
Bacteriophages kill certain harmful gut bacteria
and then I read your "Germ theory is a hoax" and what I actually hear, or did hear up to this point, is something like "Germ theory has been over-used maliciously in the service of promoting Rockefellian petro-medicine and destroying natural and less harmful approaches" -- NOT that bacteria and viruses don't actually exist.
But perhaps that's the case, although I'm so far from being able to embrace that idea that it makes my head spin.
MANY smaller things are parasitic on larger things in nature. Animal bodies consist of tiny cells, and one-celled organisms were the ONLY form of life on this planet for perhaps a billion years; they certainly haven't disappeared. How likely is it that some of those one-celled organisms aren't parasitic in humans?
And viruses? They rely on the machinery in host cells to replicate (so I learned eons ago), much as certain wasps inject eggs into caterpillars, relying on the victim to provide sustenance for the baby wasp.
So germ theory still seems plausible to me, despite that most conditions of ill-health have roots in poor diet, bad habits, and other things than microorganisms.
Still, plenty of wrong and even bizarre things have been thought plausible -- even to Science! -- over the years, and I'm at least starting to wonder if this is one of them. That's what paradigm shifts are all about: overturning an entrenched view of things with a framework that more closely fits reality. I love paradigm shifts, and this looks to be a doozy if it pans out. I'll keep an eye on this topic but again: I'm not equipped to have an informed opinion at this point. In a few years, maybe; your questions have highlighted for me how much I don't know about the topic.
Thank you again for the reply.
the whole topic is overzealously combative. Difficult to have constructive and useful conversations about.
Yes, DextertheCat, it appears that way to me also. And like most of us, I'd need months or years to study the topic and the many related topics before I could come to reasonable certainty on the issue. It's a huge rabbit hole that I don't have enough time or interest to follow; people who spent years getting medical degrees can't agree on the answer and neither can I without turning this into a full-time job. So: sorry I posted this. If there's malfeasance or error in the establishment view of viruses, I look forward to the necessary paradigm shift, but I'll watch from a distance.
Sorry to hear that. Your body makes melatonin already -- as the article points out, melatonin is made by not only animals but also plants and even bacteria -- so it might be some other ingredient or excipient in the product you've taken.
Related: the smallest dose I've seen for sale is 300 micrograms at Life Extension. For that matter they also sell melatonin in liquid form and in gummies, so if there is something aside from melatonin in the tablets, lozenges, or capsules, maybe the liquid or gummy formulation would do. -- assuming you have an interest in that, anyway.
EVERY good thing for the body gets slammed with lies as soon as it begins getting the slightest traction. Until that point, the MSM and their helpers usually just ignore something positive, but when people start getting clear that it could actually help them -- look out. I've watched that play out for decades.
I've been taking melatonin for thirty years or more with no problems, and for that matter I've never HEARD of anyone having anything like an actual problem from melatonin. In the video posted here by Make_it_So, there is much talk about people (and research animals) who have taken melatonin long-term without issues. In one case, mice were given 300mg per day (PER MOUSE; 300mg each, not "by weight compared to an average adult human) with no detectable side effects.
https://youtu.be/Roh4lQXneQg -- video posted by Make_it_So in the comments here, about melatonin and cancer. Very detailed and mind-blowing.
And don't miss this video posted in the comments here about melatonin and cancer. He says "It will blow your mind" and I agree.
Wow! The video is almost 59 minutes long and I've only seen the first three minutes, but it's already blowing my mind. Thank you for the link, Make_it_So; I'm going to add it to the post itself to give it more exposure.
From my post above:
"We have the cures" doesn't necessarily mean we have single-substance magic bullets (although we probably do, for some diseases or conditions), but rather that we have, ALREADY AVAILABLE, things that can do more to prevent and cure disease, slow aging, and improve your quality of life than you might imagine.
The article doesn't give a specific dosage nor does it likely cover all the detail you'd want to have if you were dealing with cancer. I suggest actually reading the article and doing more research -- a LOT more research if you are dealing with cancer yourself.
The article does point out that A -- melatonin is a natural molecule that life has been making and relying on for literally billions of years (plants and even bacteria make it), and B -- melatonin "has no known toxic threshold", so unlike say, chemotherapy, where the "cure" is sometimes more damaging than the disease (one study found that in the first month of treatment, more patients died from the chemo than from their cancer) -- higher-than-normal doses of melatonin are not likely to be harmful; it's something your body ALREADY MAKES. Don't be stupid about it; you can actually kill yourself by drinking too much water, for instance, but the article mentions 50mg for after-heart-attack or -stroke cellular protection and ONE GRAM being taken by some medical colleagues for protection from cellular damage caused by high blood sugar in diabetics. A gram is a surprisingly large dose; I'd start with less in any case.
Also: many supplements fight cancer according to studies, often very many studies. Occasionally you'll see articles about someone who became cancer-free from taking, for instance, nothing but high-dose curcumin (one of the best-proven supplements for fighting cancer). But those anecdotal cures are rare. As modern mainstream cancer therapies show, fighting cancer isn't the same as curing cancer, else there wouldn't be anyone dying from the disease. EDIT: A "cure" often involves more than one substance or action (Dr. Zelenko's COVID protocol, for instance. Here's Life Extension's protocol page, including information about cancer.)
If I were dealing with cancer, I'd take a wide range of supplements that have shown efficacy against cancer instead of any single one by itself. Also, I'd cut out seed oils (they're in everything, read labels and you'll see), eat organic or home-grown food wherever possible, reduce my intake of carbs and sugar, and do a number of other things -- all of which would encourage better health generally and, from the studies I've seen, would likely make it harder for cancer to survive, grow, and metastacize in my body.
If you ARE dealing with cancer, or have a family member who is, I wish you well.
Great meme! When I first started encountering trolls, long before GA, it actually started causing me distress. Most of these canned troll responses are calculated to be just plausible enough that they might have come from a well-meaning but misinformed (or underinformed) pede, so you hesitate to ignore the comment and move on.
Ignore and move on is the answer, though.
Government laws and agencies reliably do the opposite of their stated aims.
"Everything government touches turns to shit."
