I've started in on the topic of "antioxidants," which seem to come up a lot in discussions of aging. The funny thing is that these substances have major overlap with antinutrients i.e. phytic acid, and/or "metabolic villains" i.e uric acid. How do you slice the onion on this topic?
I approach this question like I do most things in health and with life.
There is a reason for oxidation and a reason for anti-oxidation and a reason for buffers of each.
In other words everything needs to be in balance.
If we lose our ability to oxidize things, we can't burn/produce energy.
If we don't have anti-oxidant buffers, then we will destroy our cells when we produce energy.
So with this overall concept I believe we just need to find the right balance of oxidation and anti-oxidants so we get all the energy and other items/processes we need thru oxidation, without the friendly fire harm from too much. This balance is unique to each individual based on their lifestyle and probably genetic predisposition.
Unfortunately, as exhausting as it's been, we're going to have to remain vigilant on the Covid front if only for the sake of guarding our own freedoms. There are still some real wimps in our families who can't be bothered to understand this stuff for themselves and would sooner trust the superstition-reinforcing advice of Little Pharma (peddling Big Pharma's agenda with that small town personal touch!) and at-home covid test kits, rather than listen to their own 60+ years of life experience with the once seasonal influenza.
We're dealing with folks who still won't honor reality despite all the evidence plain in front of them and right at their fingertips online, so the truth's gonna bear repeating until the government finds something else to fearmonger over..
Yes, we must remain vigilant for any and all further restrictions on our freedoms and liberties, however, do we need to keep preaching to the choir, at least as far as the medical issues go? I think it’s long past time that we move forward and focus on the more real issues of improving personal and societal health and wellness.👍🏼
As much as I would love to completely put the whole farce in the mirror, it happens we do need to keep preaching to the choir, because there are still some members who are singing out of tune, and the good doc knows it lol
I haven’t seen them here(In this comment section), but the truth of the matter is that people have made their decisions by now. Almost two full years of this jab(non-vaccine). If they got it, they got it, if they didn’t, they never will. There is no reason to continue to specifically discuss this particular respiratory virus over any other, as far as general health practices go. Although, the larger societal issues with the globalist charade are still with us, this is not the forum for that.
Although Covid should be in the rear view mirror, we will be dealing with the fall out for years to come. Please keep writing about it so we can keep getting assurance we made the right decisions to not get the jab they were forcing. We need to make sure this never happens again, and knowledge is power in this case, and you bring great resources! Thank you!
How much more assurances do we need? How much more evidence is necessary? Those that took it, can not un-inject themselves(although they can stop getting the nonsensical boosters, which it looks like most have done), and those that refused to take, will continue to do so. There is no more to say about it, it’s time to move on with our lives.
Sadly it's not just about the jabs though, this thing has just entered a new chapter in the past several months. There are people out there still masking religiously, getting themselves sick anyway because they don't know how viruses or immune systems work and don't even know what to do in the event that they actually do come down with covid symptoms, and instead of using the technology available and consulting with their doctor when they come down with something, they're going off of their local pharmacists advice of hitting up urgent care for Paxlovid for symptoms that don't even come close to covid and for what ultimately turns out to be the flu. What covid miracle drug is gov gonna push next, and how many people are going to needlessly throw it down their gullet pretending they're infected with something that they're not?
There are still grown adults out there who desperately need to be educated on this stuff, and blogs like this one may in all likelihood be their only hope for enlightenment. If they're still buying what the ol' idiot box is selling then it's very unlikely that they'll come across another blog like this one, where they know the author personally and can be encouraged to start taking into consideration just how critical it is to pay attention to what's true or not when it comes to the covid hysteria.
The members of the Covidian Cult do not have the critical thinking skills to ever get beyond this. Besides that, this fictitious “existential crisis” has given them a sense of meaning and purpose, in their otherwise sometimes aimless lives. They will do everything in their powers not to ever let go of that fictional sense of purpose and belonging. Then there is the vast middle, that went along with it to make their lives easier, as they always do, but don’t have strong beliefs one way or another. Most of them took the initial injections, but did not continue with the additional shots after the initial shots didn’t work. They will continue to put their heads in the sand, and won’t lift a finger to do a bit of research. Then there are the “recently awaken”. Many never took the shot, and others took it, but now have regrets. Just like the loyal Covidians, this manufactured “existencial crisis” has also given their lives meaning and purpose. However, unlike the cult members, they do possess the ability to let this go, and refocus on bigger and more important issues(Beyond the medical details of this particular respiratory virus). Again, many important issues remain with us about this nonsense, but this is not the forum for it.
I one million percent agree, but there are still ridiculous mandates to deal with. Specifically in colleges and for my friends in healthcare. I will not be happy until they are ALL dropped. Then, I will be able to stop thinking about it!
