Dear Mrs. Sukwan, I suggest you "spend more time in full sun" and get maximum exposure, before "burning". You've got the vitamin C covered. Most folks don't understand the wildly beneficial vitamin D!!!! (I put an auto-immune condition in complete remission in the winter months in the "bread basket" place in the States, using Vitamin D3 at 20,000 iu per day). It does things "chemically" inside our meat suits that are beyond complex (melatonin), and are "self regulating", it's nearly impossible to "over dose". It is one of the main reasons I make an annual trip to Thailand in the fall and start of winter. I exist on a mostly :"ketogenic diet" with daily fasts, and besides the health benefits, "the zen quality of mental clarity" is part of the fun". I had damaged knees at age 18 that plagued me for forty years, that disappeared after about two months of the new diet. Prior to that, I was a human dumpster for the tasty garbage snacks that I lived on. I had a dear friend, who married "a SE Asian woman named "Winnie", who was a PhD food scientist who worked for "Corn Products". She said to me, "we control your addiction to our manufactured foods", later, I learned more. My Thai sister in law, also an MD, has a terrible time with foods that contain MSG, so you may wish to test yourself on an "elimination diet". Just a thought?

Your health is your wealth, absent that, even a billionaire is poor!

Best wishes.

Health is wealth indeed! I spend a lot of time daily in full sun. I've never had a sunburn in my life, which is the same as my father who attributed it to a small bit of native American genes. I did notice the winter-summer prevalence regarding my headaches.

I've done the ketogenic diet in the past but do not feel it is the right choice right now for me. I have known many people who had results with it though. I avoid MSG as I have a very low tolerance to it, something which drives my Thai husband crazy.

Cheers!

Dear Mrs. Sukwan, your recent photo which you shared did not indicate to me (at all) that you spend much time in full sun. Please do not take this in a negative way. My ancestors largely were from Ireland, and Germany (DNA testing that proved exceptionally accurate as my son was linked to me as biological offspring - he tested anonymously under a fictitious pseudonym, on a test submitted by his wife under a completely different surname). I was and am "as white as a picket fence", but nobody who knows me, usually says, where did I go to develop this medium dark skin color?

I also check my Vitamin D levels (OH-25? drawing from memory), as well as nearly all available tests as well as those specific to gender. Both of my elder brothers have had cancer of the prostrate. For males, over the age of 55, this can be problematic. It's not an issue for me with a PSA at 1.27 The cost to me is minimal, as I am also my own doctor, (med, and Phd., not that it means "diddly squat"). I have a brother-in-law (Thai) who ignored getting tested after one doctor told him, he's prediabetic, or already diabetic. Early this year he went through chemo in Khoen Khan, when he discovered the lump on the neck. I can't even recognize him after two chemo treatments. So sad. He's got my full support (financially, spiritually, and lastly ... alternatives that work). As one cannot force a mule to drink water, everybody faces the "grim reaper" at some point in this temporal existence. You're still young enough that these things approach slowly, "then all at once".

I'll make a "one time deal", get tested, share the bill, and I'll pay for it plus taxes, so that the full burden is mine. In Thai, this is Gumm Dee. I invest my limited capital in select individuals on merit. Vitamin D blood test (OH-25?). (I prefer to reward "behavior", as "words are cheap"!)

Please don't be offended but see this as a compliment. I never break promises. If you're D levels are not in the upper quadrant. The median is not where you want to be.

Take me up on it. I dare you to!!! Best wishes for you and your "peeps"!

Dwyer

No reply necessary, just write about it in a post, or send me a message, and state the cost. I'll submit the payment in a subscription plus an assumed 10% tax and a 7% cut to the payment processor. In other words cost plus 17%. I prefer anonymity across the board. Please honor that request. No thanks required either. Just become a "better human being", that's it, you can thank me in the afterlife.

The offer is greatly appreciated and I will circle back to you on it. I remember my aunt had her vitamin D levels tested and she had a 4. Yes, a single digit number which was catastrophically low.

My vitamin D level was tested in 2017 the last time I saw my doctor along with some other blood panels. Back then the level was very sufficient indeed my doctor commented on my remarkable health on every metric. But a lot can happen in nine years...

D3 pills are rat poison.

Only the sun

Patrick Dwyer's avatar

Bard, is it true? As a 16-year-old I assisted kind people I know in a manufacturing operation making "Stearns Rat Poison"! What a coincidence! The prime killing agent was pure Phosphorus that had to be transferred from a small keg into the mixer. I loaded tin plated tubes to be filled, and then ran around the other side, to load filled tubes into preassembled boxes with dividers. The kind folks ran "White's Packaging and Printing". The mixture included a sweetener, I don't remember, but the active ingredient was Phosphorus. All true. 1976. Vinny White (deceased) was my boss, and friend.

More truth, D3 - the active ingredient is Cholecalciferol, often mixed with seed oils (not so good), however, it "works". I don't have the dough to run my own special blend with substitutions, so I remain a plebe. It should be stated that D3 alone, and in a diet which lacks eating fermented foods, one needs to absorb vitamin K2. (The D3-K2 vitamins are powdered and don't have the same efficacy, I know via testing).

Anyone that has to endure long periods of cold weather, "sun exposure" is minimal. D3 supplementation is the only way, and it works.

Perhaps you're right, I'll concede that, as I haven't used it on Rats. It worked on me, therefore I am not a Rat, (20,000 iu per day), I'm still here! I fully agree sunlight is the best medicine, but absent that, what replaces it at least in some fashion?

Great stuff Amy, the Knight meme is so hardcore true. The Massie election is the epitome of it. We are NOT a sovereign nation if a foreign entity can do that. And yeah, it’s obvious they have been doing for a while, but never so blatantly.

Since Covid I have been scared of 2 outcomes: FIRST is societal collapse (Mad Max World) and there’s several ways to get there. SECOND is Orwellian dystopian sci fi hellscape. 95% are impoverished, 4.5% are upper level, .5% elite. Surveillance is everywhere.

Prior to Tuesday I was still hoping to avoid both. After what I witnessed it is definitely going to be one or the other. At this point I am rooting for the collapse. In that scenario the elites all get squashed too. They are so out of touch they may even be willing to bring it about. What they don’t understand is when it happens they become the ultimate “Useless Eaters”. Let their security teams deal with those traitorous fucks.

Definitely with you on the security teams....

Oh, man. Don't get me started on health. A few remarks (Let's hope.).

I was recently sitting in front of the computer. I live by myself in a quiet, gated community. My house is completely still and quiet. I live, honestly, like a nun.

I suddenly--out of the blue--became desperately ill. I thought, "Am I coming down with some horrible illness?" I was suddenly lethargic; lost all energy; slightly nauseous--all the symptoms of an illness onset. Well...the next minute the condition began lifting. I honestly don't know whether or not this condition occurs often and we simply, for the most part, don't recognize or acknowledge this sudden sinking as we "return" to normal the next minute. An EMF burst? Ultrasonic something? I have no idea. I was stunned. Was my quiet, introspective life allowing a recognition? I could sense some "residue" and sent out energy to reflect back what had come my way. I focused inward and thrust out energy. But a very weird experience. I seemed to clear the residue which appears important to do. The residue "lingers" and can eventually make you sick.

I've stopped all supplements which were always "natural." I was OD-ing on supplements with the dread about mRNA vaccinated people transfecting others and everyone seeing self-forming creepy structures under their microscopes. I was actually making myself sick from supplements. If I do take a supplement, I have a very specific reason and target. I recently read an Unbekoming article about 1 T. of honey before bed. The idea being that "when the liver lacks glucose for the brain, it releases adrenal hormones that degrade muscle." I really liked the result the following morning (very slight) and will continue for a while.

I follow Dr. Corrin and am chewing two cloves first thing in the morning. I'll see if I see any difference in a month or so.

Nothing else. Food is my medicine.

I understand about experimenting on yourself. I haven't seen a doctor since I broke my shoulder 7 years ago. I stopped seeing doctors in my 60s after they began ordering needless tests because of my age. I've worked through and am continuing to work through the damage on my musculoskeletal body I sustained when last working. The difference between now and several years ago is night and day. Accupressure mats (as painful as they are) was the turning point for me.

But if something goes wrong, I, like you, simply try to focus and experiment with treatments.

I had to laugh. My computer lives in one room. I have no mobile cell. The landline lives in the same room. If you don' get me, just leave a message. Worked in the 90s and still works today. Altho I'll have to get a flip phone when I move. No GPS. Will be put in a Faraday bag.

I read chanting produces the same effect your video describes. I've got to get back chanting--been lazy.

I had to look up fa talai Jones herb. I see one of its properties is anti-inflammatory. Given that headaches are typically due to inflammation, it makes sense that herb helped you. Seems the question remains - what caused the inflammation?

Which ear do you typically hold your cell phone to? Or do you put it on speaker?

Enjoyed the video. My yoga teacher from 1976 taught me that technique. She had studied for 10 years in India. I'm going to get back to doing that.

Amy Sukwan's avatar

What caused the inflammation indeed.

Regarding which ear I hold my cell phone to, I have for the past few decades always put it on speakerphone on the urging of a friend of mine who was convinced that her brain tumor was due to radiation from talking on her phone. I've known three people who died from gliomas, two of whom I was very close to during their treatment phase. There's a type of person who is facing their own mortality especially at young ages who is attracted to me.

Could my headaches be caused by some sort of brain tumor? The short answer is I don't think so and I don't really want to know. I don't think so because both Lynn and Dicky described a type of headache where they could feel the presence of a mass: Dicky's diagnosis started when he had a persistently blocked nasal passage which he thought was from congestion. He described it as feeling like he had snorted a cotton ball which was stuck up to his left orbital lobe. That is exactly where they found the tumor, with the second surgery taking out his eye also.

In Lynn's case she sometimes described a pressure behind her ear that felt like her ears popping when an airplane lands, except very painful. My headaches move around but feel like all these inflamed neurons by contrast.

I wouldn't want to know because after having a close hand view of that type of diagnosis I would not consider a traditional cancer treatment for that type of hand. Both Lynn and Dicky made it a little over two years from first diagnosis to death. It was a rollercoaster of surgeries and ringing bells and oops it seems to be growing back again. Both of them lost the capacity to care for their children and Dicky made the decision to stop treatment in order to have clarity at the end for his son and daughter. Ultimately he collapsed and was gone at 39 years old. Lynn was 37.

I'll stick with alternative treatment modalities...

Good for you!

I agree. Modern medical cancer treatments are like vaccines... the treatment is more dangerous than the disease.

Dr Herbert Shelton wrote an entire article titled Influenza in 1944. He states:

Physicians and patients rarely realise how much the treatment is responsible for increased and prolonged suffereing and death. Physicians are unaware of their fallacy to 'eat plenty of nourishing food to keep up your stength.... Delirium, spasm, peritonitis, pneumonia, nia, pleurisy, heart trouble, sleeping sickness.

etc are listed among the complications of influenza. These develop in those who are fed and drugged.

Whether the condition is severe cold, influenza, or pneumonia, the first thing is to stop stop eating. Absolutely no food, but water, should be allowed until the acute symptoms have subsided. No drugs of any kind should be resorted to.

Go to bed and rest. Keep warm. Rest, fasting, warmth-these are the needs. Have plenty of fresh air in your room. Under these conditions you may lie in bed and get well in a short time with no complications and no sequels.

You don't need treatment. The fever, inflammation, coughing etc constitute the healing ealing process. process.. Just get out of their way and permit them to complete their work. Don't try to aid nature- she doesn't need your puny aid- she only asks that you cease interfering.

I can reliably get a headache by fasting for a day and then eating sugar.

I don't recommend doing it.

But yes, sugar can cause headaches.
