Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

[farmerjan]

@Grizzlyhackle ... I had an anaphylactic reaction.... severe..... alllergic... to penicillin when I was a kid. No reason to think I was allergic, neither of my parents were, so when they gave me the pen for some sort of an infection as a child for the first time, it was a scary thing. I started having trouble breathing, throat closing up, rash..... rushed me to ER and they told my parents to NEVER give me any of the "cillins"...brothers and sister can all take it....
As I have gotten older, I react to more and more stuff in different ways. I am careful of what I put in my body. Tylenol in too large a dose makes me have heart palpitations/rapid heart beat; ibuprophen does the same as well as upsets my stomach without a buffer.... zinc makes me very nauseous...... other weird stuff. I have broken out in a rash over stuff that doesn't bother me other time..... ... I used to wear contacts. Back when you made up your own solution with a "salt tablet" mixed in distilled water. No problems. When they came out with prepared/pre-made solutions..... ahhhh.... great. NOPE, thimerisol preservative caused me to have so much eye pain..... So I am very careful of stuff like vaccinations. Used to be they often used thimerisol as a preservative in most vaccines. Now they are using other stuff in some.... but I don't take many.
Vaccines used to mean that if you took them, you would be immune to the disease. Think rabies, small pox, tetanus..... now what they call vaccines are really not true vaccines from what I learned a vaccine to be. So, I am very skeptical.... and even more cautious. And I don't believe everything I am told without some serious research.
It took me 5 YEARS to find a dr that I felt comfortable with, to do my ankle replacement.... who answered my questions and was straight forward when I asked....and was also into regenerative medicine.... I was hoping that a stem cell protocol would save me from a replacement. He gave me definite answers straight up. I am so glad that I waited and found him. I have had a fantastic experience and recovery.... my PT says that I am doing better than most from any kind of replacement and they don't see alot of ankles done.... it is not popular in so many places. Local drs here just wanted to fuse and I kept thinking NO.... there had to be a better alternative.... then 2 that did ankle replacements said I was not a good candidate.... yet this dr @ Duke Orthopaedics said he thought I was a good candidate for a replacement.... after telling me that he wouldn't want to waste my money on stem cell since the joint was so bad.... because it was out of pocket, not covered.... and that if he thought it would help he would tell me straight up and he could give me options for payments......
So I don't jump into things, nor do I discount things. I have had a bad knee for 30+ years, but they have both gotten real bad, in the last 10. Refuse to have one done at a time, even though there is a dr that I like close by here.... my PT guys also said that I would do better with recovery if they were both done and healed and worked together at the same time... not putting more on the "better joint" that wasn't done. To then go through the same thing all over again in a year if I lasted that long.
Have studied something called the Mako procedure.... more advanced, robotic,; CT scans ahead of scheduled procedure, measures your tendons and ligaments and muscles..... whatever... and the replacement piece is designed just for your body, for each side......... I have an appt the end of January, and if I like this dr, will get it scheduled. The clincher is my main PT guy's mom had it done, both knees, the end of Sept and by 8 weeks was walking normal, no canes, nothing. She just got the all clear after 12 weeks.... he says she is 10 yrs older than me, overweight, and after an early problem of very low blood sodium levels making her disoriented.... and slightly dehydrated.... she rebounded and in 3 days of "fixing that" she was doing real good. Barring any real problems, he thinks I will do as good or better than the recovery with ankle, and he says I am much more active than she is, with us having the farm.....

So I try to research what I am doing, trying, and I am a bit old fashioned, but I am also not against new and modern either. If I was, I would never do replacements.... I also did other types of "homeopathic type" treatments for the knees and ankle for several years....prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma injections (PRP) ....
RESEARCH whatever you want to try..... weight the options....

Just was reading an article put out by the WHO, about how MANY of the positive covid results could be false.... article cited in Alternative News.... Dec 14th or 19th I think. Many references to other drs in different countries that say the results could be as much as 50% or MORE false. Very interesting to read.
It's not about the vaccine, but I found it very interesting as it mentions the Great Barrington Letter that has been signed by OVER 50,000 drs, researchers etc., saying that the conventional approach to dealing with this virus is absurd.....and there are other articles that you can look up about how many of the actual deaths that list COVID as the only reason for death is like 6%.... that most are other causes that actually caused the death with them also having a covid infection at the time of death.
You have to go to other sites to find info because the main stream press will NOT present more than the side they want you to read.....

Vaccines used to mean that if you took them, you would be immune to the disease. Think rabies,

If this were the case, why do my animals have to get annual vaccinations (stretched to 3 years for dogs and cats), and why, in the case of exposure, is the protocol to immediately redo the vaccination? I think your understanding of what vaccinations do is a bit optimistic. The people who pitched vaccines to our parents as a once-for-life magic bullet might even have believed it, but time has proven that not to be true for many, if not most.

how many of the actual deaths that list COVID as the only reason for death is like 6%....

But see, this is exactly the problem. I remember seeing an article back in the Spring that said that something near 60% of the people in North Carolina are in one or more of the "at risk" categories, and I doubt we are unique in that. The older you are, the more likely it is that you are dealing with one or more chronic health issues (I remember when my husband decided to switch health insurance carriers about 20 years ago, and when the agent asked about medications we were taking, I was surprised that they were surprised when we said, "none." They said that was actually rather unusual). Remember when running guru Jim Fixx ironically died of a heart attack while out jogging? Until it happened, nobody knew he had heart disease - he looked like the picture of health and fitness. If he had been hit by a car, the coroner would have noted the nearly blocked arteries as a comorbidity; the pain, etc, of a heart attack that could cause him to stumble into the path of a car might be speculated on, but the traumatic injuries inflicted by his collision with the car would have been indicated as the cause of death.

Very few people are in literally perfect health; most deal with chronic challenges to their immune function (for a lot of us, the working of their immune system is itself one of those challenges).It's all very nice to say, "if you are perfectly healthy, you have almost nothing to worry about," but if you don't know that you aren't perfectly healthy, is that just too bad for you? To me, pointing out that the vast majority of the people who are dying in this pandemic have comorbidities is somewhat interesting, but not helpful; a lot of those people probably could have functioned quite well for many years with those comorbidities had this virus not come along to tip the balance.

Today Covid is affecting me by not being able to buy dried beans at the grocery. Since when are dried beans not in stock? The shelves of canned beans are empty, too. I was gonna make bean soup and there's no beans? Well, guess I'll make this pork roast into kalua pig and go plant some beans. They don't sell Good Mother Stallard beans at the grocery so when we get them grown and harvested, it will be a better bean soup. Maybe I'll plant some Navy beans, too. Usually, they're on the grocery store shelves and so inexpensive that it's not worth growing them, but maybe I'll have to.

I only checked the small grocery in our rural town, there may be some the next town over, but I don't wanna drive twenty minutes each way to get beans for soup. Other than the three groceries (the next town over is bigger and has two grocery stores) the next grocery stores are over an hour's drive away in either direction.

Here, even the dried beans have risen over 25% in price, some almost 35%! One of those items that you just don't think about that much of a rise but, it's real. And those are recent increases. In a small can, you can be paying over $1. I grabbed some when found at a good price and canned them, now ready to use quickly, at 25 cent a "can".

Gee Whiz.... what is the WHO and the stupid govenors going to come up with to keep all the sheeple in line next?

 

[farmerjan]

I have been buying the big cans of navy beans at the one bulk/discount store.... for 4.95 a can..... Going to get a few more.... just to have. Once I get the stove in the new house, I will be able to start doing some cooking again. Haven't looked for the dried ones much as everytime I would look for split peas, all the dried bean places were pretty empty shelves.

I don't know if you were serious about growing beans or not but I have gotten that seed from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
