Lockdowns From An Export On Balanced Pandemic Response

Someone shared a clip of Dr. Scott Atlas, adviser to the White House on COVID-19, on Laura Ingraham’s show.
Oh, was it good.

It began with Ingraham asking if Atlas thought Biden would lock America down again if “cases” began to rise in January.

Atlas replied:
“Anyone who’s talking about doing another lockdown has really not been paying attention for the last seven months and is simply out of touch with average Americans…. The prolonged lockdowns are a complete disaster. They’re a complete disaster for missed health care; they’re a complete disaster for average working families and particularly for people who are working class and lower-income people.

“People have been killed by people who want to have prolonged lockdowns. And when I say ‘killed,’ I look at the data. And that means, for instance: this week it was shown that forty-six percent of the most common types of cancers were not diagnosed during the lockdown. Those cancers didn’t disappear. They’re there. People will present with much later, more widespread disease.”

Some 650,000 Americans missed important cancer treatment, Atlas added, thanks to “the fear instilled by our so-called public health experts. You could go on and on: 40 percent of people with acute strokes.”

After mentioning the statistic that I’ve shared with you, that an astonishing 25.5 percent of people between 18 and 24 contemplated suicide in the month of June alone, Atlas concluded: “It’s just completely off the rails.”
“And it’s much worse — not for the elites who are sipping lattes working for a tech company where I live, in Silicon Valley — for people who are average, working-class Americans, they are destroyed by prolonged lockdowns.”

And then, in direct response to a question about Dr. Fauci:
“History will record the faces of the public health expertise as some of the most sinful, egregious, epic failures in the history of public policy. They have killed people with their lack of understanding and their lack of caring about not just the impact of cases of COVID-19, a virus that the overwhelming majority of people do well in. They never cared to considered the impact of the policy itself, and the policy itself has been a complete epic failure, and honestly some people say a crime against humanity — these people should be held accountable for what they did.”

Psychiatry Ruins Creativity

As renowned American writer Henry James once said, “It is art that makes life.” His words are no less true today, for indeed, artists are the individuals who dream our future and create the realities of tomorrow. True, so do engineers and businesspersons and visionaries in other fields, but by and large the futures they create revolve around our material well-being. It is the artist who lifts the spirit, makes us laugh and cry and can even shape the spiritual future of our culture. It is artists who make life.

If you fail to plan you are planning to fail!

I will lose friends over what I am about to say but it is true.
And sometimes you need a friend to tell you the unpalatable truth.

PROBLEM
When it comes to their health, most people are irresponsible and dumb! They think nothing of their diet and health until they lose their health. They are underinformed and misinformed. They have not read my book: https://www.howtolivethehealthiestlife.com/

I am reminded of that old line,
“If you fail to plan you are planning to fail!”

Don’t fail to plan for a healthy you in the future!

The SAD (Standard American/Australian Diet) leaves most people overweight and under-nourished.

If you eat a SAD you will definitely end up being sad!
In other words, don’t be dumb! Get smart! Change before your body gives out on you.

Today I saw a great line in a food ad:
“You can’t out-exercise a poor diet!”

Another favourite is from a personal trainer:
“Ninety percent of weight loss is in the kitchen.”

These are great memes that the data totally supports.
The amount of exercise it takes to burn off just a little over-eating is mind-boggling.

And when it comes to healthy eating, keep in mind what the ancient Greeks said,
“Bitter on the tongue, sweet on the belly.”

Or as Jack LaLanne (An American fitness and nutrition guru and motivational speaker who described himself as being a “sugarholic” and a “junk food junkie” until he was age 15.) said:
“If man made it, don’t eat it!”
and
“If it tastes good, spit it out.”

I mention this as a close friend of our family just had a health incident. Their immune system is close to non-existent.

SOLUTION
My 199 ingredient nutrition powder is potentially some of the healthiest food you will ever ingest.

Depending on how healthy you eat at present (the healthier you eat, the more tolerable will be your assessment of the taste of my powder) it will taste from disgusting to mild. If it tastes foul, that’s OK. Just start with a small amount and mix it with yogurt or apple and mango juice to begin the process of repairing and rebuilding your gut microbiome. https://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Greens-Plus.html

It is formulated to deliver over 25% of the minimum daily intake requirements of over 20 vitamins and minerals with a single 10 gram serve (a rounded dessert spoon).

Or if you want to boost your immune system, try my Immune Blend. It has not 3 or 4 or even 6 but 46 ingredients:

Microplastics in Farm Soils: A Growing Concern

Microplastics in Farm Soils: A Growing Concern

(Toms: Plastics in our farming soils is a ticking time bomb. Microplastics kill plants, kill earthworms and increase the uptake of toxins by plants.)

Researchers say that more microplastics pollution is getting into farm soil than oceans—and these tiny bits are showing up in our fruits, veggies, and bodies.

At the end of the experiment she sent her wheat plants off for analysis, and, validating previous reports, the plants grown with microplastics were more cadmium-contaminated. “The plastics really were acting as the vector for uptake of the cadmium,” she said.

Sixteen days into Kirkham’s microplastics and cadmium experiment, her plastic-treated wheat plants began to yellow and wilt. Water had been pooling on the top of the soil in the plastic treated plants, but to keep her experiment consistent, she had to give all the plants the same amount of water.

“The particulate plastic appeared to clog the soil pores, prevent aeration of the soil, and cause…the roots to die,” said Kirkham. Plants without microplastics, even the cadmium-contaminated ones, were in much better shape. “It was the plastics that were controlling the growth more than the cadmium.”

Esperanza Huerta Lwanga, a soil scientist affiliated with both Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and El Colegio de la Frontera Sur in Mexico, has investigated the effects of microplastics on earthworms, creatures widely considered a boon to farming because of their ability to aid decomposition, add organic nutrients to the soil through their waste castings, and increase the aeration of soil.

“When I was doing research on soil invertebrates’ distribution at different home gardens in Tabasco, Mexico, I found microplastics. And in those soils with microplastics, there were not earthworms,” Huerta Lwanga told EHN.

This observation motivated her to study earthworms directly. In her subsequent experiments, she found that worms attempted to avoid microplastics, but when the soil concentration reached 7 percent, they began to ingest them along with the soil, concentrating the plastics in their castings, and transporting them through different layers of soil. In their 2018 paper, Huerta Lwanga’s team cautioned that rainwater flows through earthworm burrows into groundwater, creating a clear conduit for microplastics to enter groundwater systems.

Huerta Lwanga also said that microplastics caused an 8 percent to 25 percent mortality rate in earthworms depending on the dose. In their paper, she and her colleagues hypothesized that mortality may be partly caused by microplastics abrading the digestive tracts of earthworms, making it more difficult for them to absorb nutrients. Damage to the digestive tracts of earthworms that ingested microplastics has been documented by other researchers.
