Dr John Campbell - Fact Checked (again) by the BBC - Hilarious!

Dr John Campbell is one of the more honest and expert brokers of legit scientific info we laypeople have access to. Why does the BBC (originator of "The Trusted News Initiative") continue to say utterly ridiculous things about him? Humm... maybe it's because they realize the majority of people will not actually listen to him, and judge for themselves. We may have reached the absolute nadir in critical thinking in the developed west! "Pulling the wool" has never been easier.

If you'd like a good laugh, you'll enjoy this one:

Dr Peter McCullough

Dr Peter McCullough is one of the true heros of this pandemic, and yes, I am still, BTW, a Democrat, lol. I feel I have to say that because the pandemic has become so politicized...but I absolutely do not see it that way, not even a little bit.

People have said to me that he's been discredited, that he is speaking out as a way of seeking some kind of personal gain. These folks have clearly not spent much time "with" Dr McCullough, actually listening carefully to his messages of care for all of us. The only "gain" for him has been one of knowing he is doing the right thing. In material terms "gains" have been losses. All doctors, no matter their standing, know going against Big Pharma is professional suicide, and very few are willing to step into that breech. McCullough was stripped of at least one professorship, which are ultimately controlled by BigP, as they fund medical schools in myriad ways.

McCullough's interest is only in saving lives, and courageously doing what most doctors become doctors to do, help people maintain and gain health.

I recognize that Pharma is filled mostly with altruistic people, but there is a glaring problem at the base of what's gone wrong with BigP, and that is they mostly operate from a completely backwards model of health in that they are only focused on curing as opposed to prevention. This is the proverbial "horse already out of the barn" situation. That "horse" (health) comes very happily back into the barn with individually chosen diet and lifestyle changes, but the current medical paradigm is no help at all beyond lip service. It's not their training and not their point of view. I am happy to say however that I see young docs coming up who are really fit and healthy. They get it, many of them have gone into medicine to work toward changing the paradigm from the inside. Kudos and more power to them.

McCullough barely knew what social media was before the pandemic, now he is speaking to us through social media to counter the true source of the misinformation that has been spoon fed to all of us plugged into state controlled media. State controlled media is a term we used to speak of media in other countries, the least desirable ones. It's sad to see it here. Time to wake up the kids.

Here again is Dr McCullough in a podcast conversation, I always learn something listening to him.

Add two letters to the word psychology

I was asked what I thought the difference was between psychoanalytic group therapy in person and on zoom.

All therapy groups have in common the goal of mutual support and getting better from some injury to the self. The process is complicated by the fact some part of that "traumatic memory" will be "stored" in "the unconscious". If these traumatic experiences occur in infancy, before language memory is formed, we will have no direct memory of them. If on the other hand traumatic injury occurs after language memory is formed we may "automatically forget" the traumatic memory to some considerable extent, a phenomenon psychologists call "repression".

And since any "emotional injury" can potentially reduce our capacity for self-care and constructive functioning with others, we desire healing of the injury. This is the function of psychology and psychoanalytic therapies.

Emotional injury is essentially a disruption of the "love-bond" for self and others. We learn to love self in early childhood by being loved by others (parents, siblings, and extended family). Healing from these disruptive injuries is a function of present time interactions based in love.

If we went to a therapist, and all they did was scream at us, we'd leave, and no healing of traumatic memory would occur. Instead, we are treated kindly, and over time a "trust bond" can form, which is the foundational form of love.

Psychoanalytic therapy groups attempt to focus specifically on emotional injuries that can reduce self-love, the capacity to love others, and functioning.

So then what is the potential difference between a therapy group conducted on-line with zoom, and one conducted in person? It can be expressed a number of ways. First is tangibility: the "connection" between humans (and other "nearby" animals, dogs, cats, horses etc etc) is more "tangible" in physical proximity. There are many reasons for that, among them the potential for physical contact (usually discouraged in therapy groups), but the "potential" (positive electrical charge) is present. Many or most of these potentials exist on an unconscious level, but are present regardless.

Another form of connection exists also, related to the previous, but "larger" and more encompassing (but also one we tend to dismiss as hokum), and is the interaction between proximate nervous systems.

Basic electro-magnetic theory: transmission of electricity through a conductor generates an electromagnetic wave of specific strength and form determined by the characteristics of the specific transmission.

The nervous system is the organ of "the sixth sense", and it depends on proximity (inverse square law of wave propagation). The nervous system is a very complex "antenna" structure attuned specifically to other human nervous systems, but also extends to other mammals. Due to the proximity effect, the sending and receiving of this "radio-energy" is strongest in a hug. But it is also strong in a "proximate group", where the numbers of sending and receiving "signals" creates a more complex "electromagnetic field".

The field "enters us" on a mostly unconscious level, meaning the brain (part of the nervous system) is "processing" the "information" generated by the proximate group, but only comes to awareness "when necessary", upon activation of the instinct functions having mostly to do with threat, procreation, and food, the basic survival instincts.

What would activation of "survival instinct" in a proximate group have to do with "therapy"? Survival instinct is the basis of functioning. With better "conditional" functioning we become more "articulate" in our responsiveness to the wide variety of other humans we interact with. Conditional functioning is the more appropriate responses to the conditions in front of us from moment to moment.

And better functioning creates greater self-confidence (self love), and the capacity to love others to the appropriate degree from moment to moment. Better functioning is a larger "vocabulary of behavior", so to speak, that we can draw on as needed.

A personal example for me of becoming more aware of "electromagnetic connection" was the difference I experienced in meditation with a group in a room vs meditation alone. It seems to me a kind of "mind meld" occurs in a group, and I go deeper and more quickly into the meditative state.

Oh, and the two letters? Psychic-ology.

Just found this...love it:

There's Something Much Bigger Going On Here

There's something much bigger going on here, but many don't see this. I can think of a few reasons why this might be the case. Perhaps the primary reason is they are not aware there are thousands of accredited public health scientists from around the world who are saying "something's not right here...what the hell is going on?"

Personally I think the truth will out, as these thousands of accredited voices are persistent.

Here is one of them.





If after watching you're curious about who Dr Malone is, you may find this interesting.



And one more.

Water Fasting Success Stories

 

Dr. Doug Graham shares a few of his success stories from his lifetime of work as a fasting supervisor. Doug is also a life time athlete and athletic trainer who has worked with many world class athletes. This gives Doug a unique perspective in the attainment of health, regardless of where any particular individual is starting from.

I've personally attended various health retreats with Doug (including a 12 day fasting retreat) and benefited tremendously from all of them. It's difficult to express how beneficial I feel working with Doug is, in person, at any of his retreats. It's one of those things that has to be experienced to be fully understood.

A considered response to vaccine mandates by a doctor

Dr Steve James: "I’d sacrifice my job over vaccine mandates".

There are many many more of these sort of responses than we know about, and there are several reasons for that, but two seem to be primary.

1) Fear of retribution. I heard recently from a reliable source that many doctors who work at university research hospitals cannot say publicly what they really think of the current mRNA tech because they would never get another research grant.

2) As Dr James says in the interview linked below, for certain "cause of health" oriented medical professionals the risk benefit ratio is skewed negative for getting the vaccine.

These are intelligent, informed, and highly educated medical professionals. Threats of retribution against the exercise of informed opinion and personal body autonomy is a dangerous precedent.

Which is obvious, right?

For a balanced perspective we also must consider the influence a "medicine for profit" bias has on a narrative that is so intrinsically wrong that it has to be protected by censorship.

I was personally neutral on vaccines before this pandemic. I am cause of health oriented myself and felt I was strong enough to handle any negative impact the vaccine might have, and took the first jab. Unfortunately I had a severe reaction that lasted 6 weeks that has disabused me of that notion.

I am no longer neutral on vaccines as a result of my personal experience combined with the censorship of legitimate public debate among health scientists. Censorship is a type of lie. It reminds me of a sales pitch that is unguided by moral compass.

For profit medicine has a problem that needs to be fixed.

The Great Paradox of Our Time

Anatomically modern "big brain" humans first arrived on the planet via the very slow forces of evolution only about 150,000 years ago. That's pretty recent, the very first humans emerged in Africa about 2 million years ago. Perhaps the more interesting thing is that humans had anatomically modern big brains 150,000 years ago, but advanced technology emerged only about 100 years ago.

Wow. It took 149,900 years to get from "big brain has arrived!" to advanced technology 100 years ago.

One could also argue that advanced technology arrived with the industrial revolution about 200 years ago. That would still be amazingly recent, but if we correlate widespread advanced technology to the beginning of the 6th mass extinction (which is thought to have begun about 100 years ago), then The Great Paradox of Our Time arrived about 100 years ago.

So then "the great paradox" is while the greatest advance humans have made (in their 2 million years) is the miracle of technology, the very same thing has at the same time damaged the earth to the point of causing "the great collapse" in biological diversity.

Are we not convinced that advanced technology is the direct cause of rapid, and increasingly more rapid, collapse of biological diversity? Humm, well this is a blog post, not a book. But I will say: really? It's pretty obvious isn't it? And leave it at that.

To the extent we don't believe this correlation is true, or don't want to believe it's true, I will suggest a collective delusion is at play. And it's not hard to understand why we don't want it to be true, right? After all, advanced technology is a kind of miracle.

Hence the Great Paradox: the greatest miracle is wreaking the greatest destruction. It's kind of hard to wrap our heads around...but we must if we wish our species to survive. Not to mention the millions of other absolutely amazing species that make life on earth a very rare phenomena, the only one we're aware of in the known universe.

If nothing else we are charged with the responsibility of being the shepherds of that miracle.

Let's also mention in passing the utter ridiculousness of the fantasy of "interplanetary civilization" being the only escape from species ending biological collapse (talking to you Elon:)

The logical inconsistency in that point of view is massive. Here it is in a nutshell: we're going to leave a planet with somewhat reduced capacity for the spontaneous (and miraculous) generation of biology, and go to a planet (or planets) with NO capacity for biological generation?

Um...yeah.

Let's illustrate the ridiculousness of this POV a bit further. The specific conditions that allow for the emergence of life to occur (anywhere) probably number in the hundreds, or even thousands (we are undoubtedly far from knowing all of them). And they all have to occur simultaneously (which would explain the extreme rarity of life in the known universe).

Let's also think about what we don't know about these specific conditions, for just one example, specific gravity. We didn't know until quite recently that life on Earth was only made possible by the specific gravity of Earth. NASA did a study of twins only a few years ago where one spent time in space while the other remained "grounded", and then catalogued the impact on the health of the one in space compared to the grounded twin.

It's been known since we started shooting stuff into space that biological durability is negatively impacted, but this study may have marked the effective "end" of the space program (which occurred at approximately the same time).

But the satellite industry (SpaceX, hello again Elon:) is booming... $Billions are being generated. Perhaps "interplanetary civilization" is nothing more than clever marketing to imbue a nascent industry with the magic of mythology? "We are the Gods who are the masters of everything" (entire universe included)?

Or, if Mr. Musk genuinely believes in this fantasy, it won't be the first time in history we see that even genius is capable of stupidity.

Let's say instead that basically every human believes (even if they really don't want to) that if we are to survive we have to find some way to resolve the great paradox of our time, and discontinue the massive damage to the precious biology occurring on the only planet we know of that is capable of the spontaneous generation of biology, and the ability to sustain biology.

And that won't be easy, we may not be able to do it. The (suicidal?) drive to genetically modify humans will be massive.

Instead of the belief that even more technology will be the fix for the ongoing massive technological damage to biology, how about a bicycle riding plant-based planet. And a population that learns enough about THE CAUSE OF HEALTH to continue riding bicycles into old age.

Touché. Good luck to us all.
