Popular Post owl sees all Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 4 minutes ago, save the frogs said: not sure what you mean. the body begins to break down. but the science is over my head, so I won't attempt to debate it. A good honest reply STF. Allow me to expand on the previous points. Nature has evolved through billions of years to allow organisms to basically do two things. Survive and reproduce. Humans are right in the mix. The natural state of the body is 'good health'. Assuming the mother is OK (not contaminated with anything), her milk is enough to see baby through for at least a year; maybe longer. The baby - now a toddler - has everything within it, to see it through the various stages of growing until adulthood. What that human needs is simple. It needs nutritious food, clean water, fresh air and love. A good environment is also benificial. There are also things that are best avoided along the way. EMFs and fear for starters. Fear seems to be everywhere for the last few years. My advice; try not to be fearful. The body don't need injections for imaginary pathogens. It don't need medicines for natural body functions that are misinterpreted as undesirables (fevers and rashes 4 eg). It don't need serious medical procedures for something that could be sorted out with a change of diet. Nature has the answers. We must learn from it, rather than try to undo years of natural evolvement. Thanks STF for allowing me to answer in a more comprehensive way. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watthong Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 2 hours ago, Red Phoenix said: And it is surely not about providing evidence for the qualifications of dr John CAMPBELL. Note: Yes he IS a dr, because dr is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate (commonly a PhD/DPhil). There are Drs and not there are MEDICAL doctors. A nurse engaging in discussion regarding medicine, and presenting himself as a Dr. in said discussions, that's fraud, plain and simple. Try to deflect all you want but when it comes back to the main point, he IS NOT a doctor in the (medical) context that he presents himself in. He can fool some people some of the time, as the saying goes. Note: This thread is not about "Doctor" Campbell, fair enough.

Lab concoctions; far removed from the real world. Only visible on a computer screen, or in some forecasting programme. Much of what we hear about is simply not true. I don't have any problem with accepting a good diet, regular exercise and avoiding over-indulgence in recreational drugs such as alcohol is conducive to longevity. I also agree pharmaceuticals are hard on the kidneys and liver, and it is best to limit their use as much as possible via alternative strategies. Having said that, without modern mainstream medicine I would not be 80. I would have carked it about 17 years ago with bladder cancer. And more recently, with other problems. A physio recently told me I was in the top 5% of 80 yo's in terms of physical fitness and BMI. The evidence is modern medicine has extended our average lifespan significantly since the 1900's, and improved the quality of our lives. The data says red states in the US had significantly more COVID deaths and long-term effects than blue states. It also says seriously ill COVID patients being admitted to an ICU are six times more likely to be unvaccinated. So when people want to panic over a study which is not even peer-reviewed, and put the gloomiest interpretation on the results, excuse me for thinking of them as <deleted> in the head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who probably made a pre-nup with the "Dr." so that he could strum his guitar and sing his own composition at the end of the clip. Totally clueless as far as covid was concerned, dude just wanted to get his future top ten (thousandth) hit on line and this was the one outlet that would allow him that. For the most part of the interview, it consisted of the "Dr." asking leading questions and the guest nodding his head, ahah, ahah, and so forth. Yeah, it's under control yeah, what, oh yeah, not many covid cases - though we were in the midst of rolling lock down - and so forth... and doc finally answered his own questions.

connda Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 3 hours ago, Lacessit said: Ivermectin did not win a Nobel prize, you are posting misinformation. No. "Dr. Ivermectin" didn't receive a Nobel Prize as "Ivermectin" isn't a human being. But? The two researcher who created Ivermectin, Dr.Satoshi Ōmura and Dr. William C. Campbell were awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the novel application of a bacterium, Streptomyces avermitilis, which was the source of the active ingredient in Ivermectin. Ivermetin's anthelmintic properties radically lowered the incidence of River Blindness and Lymphatic Filariasis among other parasitic diseases. This information is in the public domain and is easily found with an internet search. So you're posting misinformation claiming it is misinformation. That's just lazy and willfully misleading. The term "Misinformation" is another term used to shut down discussion on a subject of debate. Like the use of pejoratives and ad-hominid character attacks, it's the craven's way out of actually debating an issue in the public domain base on the merits of a well-form argument. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 3 inches thick, and comes out as revised edition every couple of years. It discusses every cancer known to man from the viewpoint of statistical analysis of deaths in each category. The evidence is overwhelming. If you smoke, drink, or are obese, you have a much higher probability of dying of cancer. What is remarkable is while alcohol and tobacco are linked to a few very specific cancers, obesity is linked to almost every one of them. The message is quite clear - lose the beer gut. My own hypothesis is that fat is an accumulator of toxins, inhibiting the body's ability to detoxify them. In point of fact, I could kill any drinker on this forum overnight by massive liver failure with several compounds, and it would be virtually undetectable. Anyone who has seen the images from an electron microscope of bacteria and viruses would disagree with your hypothesis.
