Hi Red,

 

I am 99.99% certain that it was never a requirement to be vaccinated to travel within Thailand.

 

There were travel restrictions betweeen provinces at times, but never was it required to show a proof of vaccination to be allowed to pass (i.e. the police would block the road and nobody was going through, regardless of vax status), and it never lasted very long.

 

What was prevalent, though (and your example shows this) was people propagating rumours in an authoritative tone. I recall some Thai people I know, well 'connected' in Phitsanulok, calling and saying that proof of vaccination would soon be required to access hospitals – these types of anxiety-inducing predictions were always paired with an encouragement to 'just do it' and go get jabbed in order to escape impending doom. The least one can say about these troubled times is that cool heads did not prevail.

 

On this forum too, it was often claimed that proof of vaccination would be required to renew one's visa, and of course to go to Europe, etc.

 

All false rumours propagated by people who had already taken the shot and wanted others to join them. There definitely was a psychological element to it, a group effect.

 

Canada !!    it was the "early days" and my daughter and husband were looking to move to a different province there .    They told me it was not allowed to move (maybe even leave , not sure)  to another province without being vaxxed .   I was not consulted... but even though they are smart they were , like so many,  not yet "awake"  to the fact that absolute tyranny could be possible against the world,  especially with the "backing"  of the honored medical establishment doing vaccination dances on tik tok .

I can't remember at what stage i was at (truly realizing the gravity of the scam being inflicted on us) ..... but i did have my strong independent core staying true ,  not letting myself get bullied into doing something that didn't feel right.    

 

to this day i am so relieved that the truth finally broke through (those without solid walls enclosing their brains)  and i am healthy and mRNA free.    

but..... worry for my daughters family .   they did get sick a lot in the year or two after their 2 shots.   Doing ok now,  and much more aware i'm sure

What's interesting is the way falsehoods can materialise into perceived truths when everybody echoes them. And at the time, even the authorities dubiously played on words to subtly coerce people.

 

To obtain a French vaccine passport, for example, you needed proof of having been inoculated or a negative PCR test (each test giving 24-hour validity for the passport), but this was seldom mentioned. This was the same for international travel, all one needs to do is go and look at airline regulations which are still accessible, a PCR test was always enough to board and go anywhere, except, as far as I know, the US and Indonesia.

I've noticed it's often the 3rd shot which pushes people's systems overboard, if they've had just 2 and have healthy lifestyles (I recall you mentioning they do), it seems it is possible to get rid of the poison over time.

 

And yeah, I think a lot of people have gained awareness in various respects.

For me, it was my 2nd Pfizer.  (I wasn't stoopid enough to get a 3rd after that.)

 

But looking back a couple of years later (when a lot more data was available), my first dose didn't get any mention as a hot lot on VAERS.  The second one that caused all coincided with my symptoms is listed as a hot lot, with a much higher than average incidence of side effects.

Yes, it is a Russian roulette of sorts, some people had bad reactions after their 1st shot, others have had 4 and seem to be doing okay (emphasis on 'seem' because everybody reacts differently and you never know if people have issues they don't talk about, obviously).

 

I think my dad's 3rd shot was a 'hot' one as, in his own words, "it killed him" (but he seems to have overcome it somewhat).

Have you actually looked it up?  I forgot the actual URL, but I Bing search "how hot is my lot" for occasional updates.

 

I haven't gotten my balance back (still can't climb a ladder) and I still have fatigue and take a lot of naps.  I describe it as a "new normal".  Livable, but I'd give anything if I could go back and undo that shot.

No, I never looked it up, I don't think he would be interested in looking at that. He did say "never again" too though.

 

Just out of curiosity, have you tried supplements such as NAC? They have helped quite a few people a bit.

You simply don't know what you are getting. If one listens to Hedley Rees; there is a multitude of things in the medicine supply chain that can go wrong. And do. From contaminated ingredients to keeping vials at incorrect temperatures. Quality control, all the way down the line, is poor. And the reason why; is that once the drug has gotten approval, getting it out there, into people's mouths or arms brings in the serious dosh.

 

Then there is variation in the drug/tab/vax itself. There is plenty of evidence that says some of the covid jabs were 'hot', whole others were 'inert'.

My take is this - regarding the 'hot' & 'inert' issue - if there was a serious threat to world health, why would not everyone be given a life-saver dose?

 

Then there is the business of; firstly what was the virus. And did it do any harm to anyone.

 

We have turned our backs on nature. And - in health terms - handed it over to people who simply want to make money by making people ill, and keeping them sick.

and that was noticed by me as well !      jealousy is a terrible thing to live with .

you think hitting that laughing emoji gives them some carnal satisfaction ?

 

btw:  blackstrap malassas and some digestive enzymes have given me a (recent)  new outlook on life .    riding bike again, and shooting some hoops . 

ahhhhhh ..... go with the flow !     and flush  (maybe at your young age not an issue ..yet ) 

but you older guys take note.

Whatever satisfaction it gives them, I will not take it away from them. By all means laugh away and keep up with your boosters…

Good to hear, I've been taking enzymes for several years, sometimes with probiotics, great for overall wellbeing indeed. At the 'young' age of 45, I don't have any chronic health issues and aim to prolong this as long as possible.

 

I've just ordered some type 1 collagen as I have a tennis elbow I can't shake off, but I haven't really been serious about treating it so far. Apparently collagen helps. Using my arm as little as possible seems to be the most efficient approach… it's an interesting experience to use only one's left arm when one is right-handed.

Thanks! I've already ordered collagen powder, good quality stuff with lots of good reviews, and apparently easy to mix in the morning coffee… but I will read this article with interest nonetheless.

That was a painful 1 hour 14 minute video.  Is there a way to change a female voice to male in the settings?

 

I consider the actions of our experts to be an abomination to humanity.  The religion of poison they are practising is vile and loathsome.  The entire calamity needs to be dismantled and permanently abolished.

Forget about powered form Collagen - the level of absorption is somewhat unreliable. 

 

If looking to 'assist rickety joints' such as the knees, Bovine Collagen in liquid form is the better option.

 

Then there are also additional options such as NMN which is an NAD booster which aids recovery / repair, it can be taken along with TAG to aid absorption.

 

Also Creatine Monohydrate which assists in maintaining muscle mass as we age.

 

 

 

1. Bovine Collagen

- Absorption: Moderate (better when hydrolysed)

- Hydrolysed?: Yes, most supplements are hydrolysed into collagen peptides

- Best for: Ligament and joint repair, tendon strength, cartilage support, connective tissue resilience

- How to consume: Mix hydrolysed collagen powder into water, smoothies, coffee, or soups; daily doses of 5–10 g are typical.

- Notes: Rich in type I and III collagen; hydrolysed form improves bioavailability.

 

2. Marine Collagen (fish skin, salmon heads)

- Absorption: High (small peptides, very good uptake)

- Hydrolysed?: Yes, usually sold as hydrolysed marine collagen peptides

- Best for: Skin elasticity, bone health, wound healing, general tissue vitality

- How to consume: Usually in powdered form; dissolve in liquids or add to smoothies; 3–5 g daily is common.

- Notes: Mostly type I collagen; excellent for skin and bones, slightly less targeted to joints.

 

3. Porcine Collagen (pig skin and cartilage)

- Absorption: Moderate to high

- Hydrolysed?: Often hydrolysed for supplements

- Best for: Skin regeneration, gut lining repair, connective tissue support

- How to consume: Powdered form can be added to hot or cold drinks, soups, or baked goods; typical dose 5–10 g/day.

- Notes: Similar to human collagen; used in medical applications.

 

4. Plant-Derived “Collagen Boosters” (seaweed, fruits, herbs)

- Absorption: Indirect (stimulates the body’s collagen production)

- Hydrolysed?: N/A – these do not contain actual collagen

- Best for: Supporting natural collagen synthesis, antioxidant protection, overall skin and tissue health

- How to consume: Eat whole foods rich in vitamin C, amino acids, and polysaccharides, or take concentrated supplements daily.

- Notes: Provide co-factors to boost collagen formation.

 

5. Powdered Collagen (general)

- Absorption: Variable, often less reliable than hydrolysed sources

- Hydrolysed?: Sometimes yes, sometimes no – depends on the brand and processing

- Best for: General supplementation for convenience

- How to consume: Mix into water, coffee, tea, or shakes; daily dose depends on the product label, typically 5–10 g.

- Notes: Efficacy depends heavily on processing; non-hydrolysed forms are harder to absorb.

Thanks for that, this is well noted. I thought you might weigh in as I recall you mentioning joint injuries.

 

I'm in good health overall, but this elbow pain just showed up out of the blue. As I've already bought a 2,000 baht tub of (apparently) good type 1 collagen, which according to Josh Axe is the best for tendon injuries, I will try it out. As I said, the best approach seems to be using my arm as little as possible, after 2 days I can hardly feel any pain anymore, I'll keep it up for a couple of weeks and it should subside.
