I learned better ways to prevent and treat respiratory viral infections
COVID has greatly increased research into immune health
I learned/reinforced how best to use Virtual visits for healthcare
While not the same as in-office care, often many visits can be handled well virtually
I learned/reinforced not to believe anything I see/hear/read on media concerning health and wellness
The media tells stories, mostly fiction
Previous studies/protocols on using masks to prevent respiratory virus transmission were ignored when government began mandating mask use
It appears they felt the need to do something regardless of its effectiveness without realizing that sometimes doing nothing is safer than doing something.
I learned/reinforced not to trust Big Pharma (mostly reinforced)
Big Pharma is about $$$, not necessarily your health
I learned/reinforced not to trust the FDA, CDC and NIH (mostly reinforced)
They appear to be captured by Big Pharma
I learned/reinforced that censorship of health related ideas and opinions is harmful
Censorship in healthcare should NOT happen. No one has the answer to everything and the only way to improve is to be free to try out safe alternatives and theories
I learned/reinforced government and politicians should not be in charge of individual private medical decisions (mostly reinforced)
What happened to “My Body, My Choice?”
I learned/reinforced that much of our government public health apparatus is controlled by politicians as opposed to true health experts (I use the term experts loosely) (mostly reinforced)
Public Health is run by government, meaning politicians and bureaucrats. If you believe they can do a better job, next time you need healthcare go see a bureaucrat.
I learned/reinforced that a healthy and balanced Metabolism and Immune system is one of if not the key to healthy aging
What you burn safely (Metabolism) and what you clear out of your body safely (Immune Health) are the two keys tp healthy living and aging.
I learned/reinforced that heart disease is not caused by a Statin drug deficiency (mostly reinforced)
Cholesterol no matter how many times you hear others say it, is NOT an independent risk factor for heart disease and should NOT be added to public water.
I learned/reinforced that I can give up watching professional sports and not really care
I stopped watching pro sports when the athletes began spouting off their medical advice about COVID. I’d rather just watch their great athletic ability. Reminds me of the saying:
I used to be a people person, but then people ruined it for me.
I also learned/reinforced that perhaps I picked the wrong year to stop watching the Philadelphia Eagles
I have been told the Iggles are 13-2 so far this season.
I learned/reinforced that the two keys to a healthy immune system are a healthy metabolism and a healthy gut
It is said that 70%+ of the immune system begins in the Gut. So what you eat is very important.
I learned/reinforced that it is never to late to improve your health (mostly reinforced)
The turnaround in health I have seen from adults of all ages is astounding.
I could keep writing and I am sure I missed many. But I wrote this today because I want to hear what you learned in 2022, whether from your own health/life experiences or perhaps even from reading Common Sense Health and Wellness.
I’m in the lifelong process of navigating the food world. With Dr. H’s help I’m figuring out what works for me slowly. I’m not perfect and I don’t really want to be but I’m doing much better than I ever did. I’m also grateful to have a Dr. that supports and reinforces what I have been learning about our world with Covid. It can get a little lonely out there with the masses and even in my own family. The support I have received through IMW has bolstered
my morale and helped me navigate this world. I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful New Year!
Bread & Circus has to be the most excess carb there is with chronic consumption leading to maximum brain inflammation/atrophy.
And really, with all the covidery and advertising being jammed in there, ya just know the games in all likelihood are just as rigged as the gooberment s'elections. Govt creates problems, then the media creates a heavily regulated corporate-sponsored and media-run bubble/honeypot for people to believe they're actually escaping into, then they control everything that goes on in the escapism bubble making sure to inject nationalist and military industrial complex and "public health" propaganda at the right intervals and ultimately ensure all the serfs stay busy in there eating their feelings while they talk and argue about all the happenings inside of the bubble, then by the time they're forced to come back to reality and notice how the original problems they were escaping from have gotten far worse, the only solution their numbed and shrunken brains can come up with is, "ya gotta voot!"
