During a moment of TV watching, I saw people suffering through their incurable and painful diseases and thanked God for my health and asked Him why they have to suffer. Then I thought of how we "healthy" people abuse our bodies with unhealthy diets, smoking, drugs, alcohol and activities (or lack of) and how much those suffering people would give anything for what I have.
When our health is impaired, the only thing we can think about is getting better. Suddenly nothing else matters, and all the things we had hoped to get done that day, week, or month go up in smoke. All too often we take for granted the one thing that we'd pay our life's savings for in a second and do just about anything to get back if we ever lost it; our health. This very minute on this very day, make a committment to change any lifestyles, or stop any habits, that negatively impacts the health of your body. You will feel [physically] better for it. |

Natural Remedies For Headaches Enduring Pain with No Medicine -- Grid Down Healing Wounds Using Cobwebs or Spider Webs is a long-forgotten natural remedy for sealing open wounds and accelerating healing. Using cobwebs or spider webs has been done since ancient times when Greeks and Romans treated wounded soldiers to stop bleeding. Even modern science has embraced spider web as a great treatment for scrapes and wounds. An open wound treated with a cluster of spider web or cobwebs will dry out faster. Cobwebs have antifungal and antiseptic properties that keep bacteria away, minimizing the chances of an infection. Spider webs are high in vitamin K that triggers blood clotting! As long as the web is clean, it will not cause any infection or aggravate the wound's condition at all. To make your own bandage, find a clean web (free of debris and the spider), ball up the spider web and stuff it onto the wound. Make sure all edges are covered by the web. The web has to touch the surface of the wound. Get a sterile cloth and cover the wound with it. This helps secure the web on the wound while also protecting the affected area from the elements. To replace or remove, soften it with warm water.

Conventional Health Insurance may be out of reach or not in keeping with personal beliefs. HealthShare groups have been established to address these concerns by pooling the finances of its members for use whan a member needs healthcare services. The health share world can be quite confusing if you are used to having traditional health insurance through Blue Cross, United Health Care, CIGNA, or Aetna, so it's important to do your research. What might be good for others, may not be good for you and your family. The various health share organizations offer varying levels of membership programs. Getting into the wrong program or joining at the wrong level could open your family to being without benefits for certain catastrophic claims. Nevertheless, Health Share organizations continue to grow and, depending on your tolerance for submitting your own claims (called a "need request" in the health share world), monthly costs to join these programs are significantly less than traditional major medical insurance – especially if you are paying all of your own premium.

First we experiment. Then it becomes fun. Then it becomes a habit. We start making bigger sacrifices for it. We are stuck on a hamster wheel and tell ourselves that we are "choosing" the hamster wheel but the hamster wheel is actually in control. Whatever controls us, is an addiction.
Not only does an addiction impact health but finances as well. Addictions can be overcome but there has to be an self-admission of the addiction and a determination to win the battle to overcome it.

The pharmaceutical industry is a thriving, profitable business. Unfortunately, profits or agendas often superceed cures. Billions of dollars are made in pumping drugs into those with any kind of ailment, emptying their financial reserves or leeching from insurance coffers. Often, the only relief of the high cost of drugs are generic ones or purchased out of the country (risky). So, it's no surprise that "cures" are a threat to the pharmaceutical industry as are generic drugs. Additionally, as a major player in paying off government officials, pharmaceutical lobbyists are very successful to promote or discredit drugs as it serves them or those they have in their pockets.

A Cure That Isolation, Masks and Social Distancing CAN'T Match
Herd immunity (also called herd effect, community immunity, population immunity, or social immunity) is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection, whether through vaccination or previous infections, thereby providing a measure of protection for individuals who are not immune. In a population in which a large proportion of individuals possess immunity, such people being unlikely to contribute to disease transmission, chains of infection are more likely to be disrupted, which either stops or slows the spread of disease. The greater the proportion of immune individuals in a community, the smaller the probability that non-immune individuals will come into contact with an infectious individual, helping to shield non-immune individuals from infection. We deal with the flu, and many other diseases, every year and we survive it because we LIVE our normal lives through it. The sooner people are exposed to a disease, the sooner the desease will stop spreading. With few exceptions, when we are exposed to a disease, our immune system grows stonger. The only thing worse than the disease is the FEAR of it. |

Extreme irritability and restlessness from living in isolation or a confined indoor area for a prolonged time (cabin fever), usually occurs around the time that spring begins, after a period of being stuck indoors during the cold winter months. But, regardless of the weather outside, being cooped up at home due to concerns over going out and socializing is no less irritating. Ways to combat cabin fever are:
1. Get Outside in fresh air and sun, even when there is no sun. 2. Schedule the Day with a to-do list to keep a sense of normalcy and the mind active. 3. Get Some Exercise to keep the body active and the blood pumping. 4. Limit Screen Time on the TV, phone or computer; it's likely to cause a drained and unproductive feeling. 5. Keep in regular contact with friends, family and co-workers to avoid loneliness and depression.

With the Wuhan chinese communist party (ccp) Virus pandemic of 2020, mask-wearing mandates arose. With them brought some unexpected strong feelings of being upset, sad, anxious (panic), irritated or suffocated. There are many reasons for these feelings. Traumatic memories may be connected to face masks, and there is also the lack of social cues via facial expressions [that are covered up] — any and all of which can cause us to go into fight, flight, or freeze survival mode, depending on our own individual trauma history. Relaxation techniques such as breathing in and out deeply, listening to soothing or inspiring music on headphones, or smelling a beautiful scent (put a drop or two of soothing essential oil on your mask such as lavender) while wearing a face mask can be helpful to keep you calm. Engaging your facial muscles — such as by chewing gum, humming, or singing — activates the vagus nerve with its function of taming your stressed nervous system. Nevertheless, there are proven medical reasons why masks should not be worn long-term or trusted to prevent infection.
Experts believe that 90% of communication is non-verbal and happens subconsciously. Mask wearing disturbs this communication process. This can be especially problematic with children and individuals who have a history of trauma and abuse. Our eyes, gestures, facial expressions and tone put us in sync and bring us together in a more profound way than words alone. When our faces are covered there is disconnect that is unnatural in the way humans should interact and communicate.

The Political Agenda: Government has found the perfect public-control/manipulation mechanism; MASKS! As long as they can perpetuate a "virus scare", they can manipulate sheeple into believing masks, vaccines and social distancing work, thereby scattering the people from coming together, and putting a wedge between the population, to keep the false fear alive and the panic people are exhibiting. Put away the masks, stop getting the vaccines, get back to socializing and let NATURE, not government, take its course. (www/5six7.com/maskfacts) |

Prepare and Stay Fit by Exercising Now. Be as active as you can.
Get Outside: Fresh air is one of the best ways to stay healthy. A generation or two ago parents were raising outdoor children who congregated in forests, parks, streets and backyards. They would play for hours on end only to be called in for supper or bed. Over time our culture has shifted and children spend less and less time outside, spending the majority of time indoors on their electronic devices. Outdoor children are healthier, happier, stronger, more intelligent and learn to care for nature. Let's all go outside (again) and get some Vitamin N (Nature); adults as well as children. |

While, normally, it takes only about one day to adjust for each hour of time change, there are things to do that can help with the adjustment: Have fixed bed and wake-up times, don't nap during the day, get regular exercise (not before bed), avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine or eating heavy, spicy, or sugary foods just before bed, turn off electronics 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, avoid using the bedroom as a work area and keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. |
