One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.
As heated debate continues over the emergency measures taken around the world to limit the spread of COVID-19, new data suggest Sweden’s oft-derided approach of not locking down may have paid off in the long run.
The country of 10 million people has seen a total of 82,972 infections and 5,766 deaths. Unlike many nations, it never shut down its schools or economy and did not restrict individual freedoms to nearly the degree seen in the United States and much of Europe.
Sweden’s leaders faced a steady drumbeat of international condemnation as deaths curved upward from April through June, though the curve flattened in July. Daily deaths fell to the low thirties in mid June, and have been in single digits since July 20.
In April, Swedish epidemiologist Anders Tegnell explained to Nature magazine that Sweden started from the understanding that COVID-19 “is not a disease that can be stopped or eradicated…until a working vaccine is produced,” and that widespread lockdowns would be incompatible with Swedish laws, which “are mostly based on voluntary measures — on individual responsibility.”
“Closedown, lockdown, closing borders — nothing has a historical scientific basis, in my view,” Tegnell said. “We have looked at a number of European Union countries to see whether they have published any analysis of the effects of these measures before they were started, and we saw almost none.”
Notably, Tegnell also acknowledged that Sweden “underestimated the issues at care homes, and how the measures would be applied. We should have controlled this more thoroughly.” This was the same error infamously made in New York, suggesting that Sweden’s overall early outlook was disproportionately impacted by nursing home deaths.

Not so long ago, scientists at UCLA made a surprising discovery. They wanted to understand how probiotics affect the brain and mood. So, they decided to run a test using brain scans. What they discovered shook the foundations of probiotic science.
It has even led some scientists to suggest that probiotics should be called “psychobiotics.” While the term might sound odd, I promise it has nothing to do with an old Hitchcock movie.
You see, the UCLA researchers discovered probiotics have a much bigger effect on how your brain works.
Brain Imaging Reveals Probiotics Support Clearer Thinking
The UCLA study began with a simple goal. The researchers set out to see how the brains of people who consumed probiotics worked differently from those who didn’t. To do this, they used a technology called functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). It’s an MRI for the brain. The test worked this way…
Participants were hooked up and prepped for the fMRI. Then, they looked at pictures designed to stimulate emotional responses. As they did, brain scans were done.
The group that got a placebo without probiotics performed as expected. They showed activity in the sensory and emotion areas of the brain. But the test group who were given probiotics produced brain scans that were completely unexpected…
The Probiotics Group Showed Higher “Executive Function”
Scientists use the term “Executive function” to describe thinking, reasoning, judgment and self-control. Thinking like this takes place in an area of the brain called the pre-frontal cortex. This was exactly the area of the brain that showed activity in the probiotics group.
Thinking like this helps you stay calm. You feel less anxious. It’s also the area active when you think most clearly.
The UCLA researchers had discovered a link between probiotics and higher thinking. It wasn’t that probiotics altered the participants’ emotions. The probiotics enhanced their ability to think and respond.
This study led researchers everywhere to realize probiotics do a lot more than aid digestion and ease gas and bloating. Probiotics affect how well – and clearly – we think.
Someone asked on Facebook how to lost 35 pounds. I replied: In four words: Eat less, move more.
Forget fads and buzz words. Make your food intake conform to the three planks I have for my personal food intake and my products: Purity, Density, Diversity.
No sugar.
No wheat.
No GMOs.
As little refined or processed food as possible.
No empty calories, only nutrient dense food.
As wide a range of foods as your taste buds and body will tolerate, prefereably more than 50% of it raw.
After that, eat right for your body. Not your body type, your spirit, mind, body combination is unique, so discover for yourself what works best for you.
I would further add that I have over 100 weight loss tips in my book, How To Live The Healthiest Life avaialable from https://www.howtolivethehealthiestlife.com/
and I have received great feedback from consumers of https://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Weight-Loss-Blend.html

If you live in Western Australia (a covid free state) and are concerned about the overuse of hand santiser you may want to send a copy of this to your school?
Dear (Principal)
I am concerned about the requirement for our children to use the school’s chemical hand sanitiser due to the multiple exposure and potential adverse health outcomes.
The hand sanitiser contains toxic chemicals and is a risk to our children’s health both short and long term.
We live in a Covid free state and, as such, this requirement appears an over reaction and totally unnecessary at this time. Can you please explain why it is required under the current circumstances?
Also, has the school conducted a Health Risk Assessment which looks at the potential total exposure to our children and potential adverse health outcome?
If so can we please be provided with a copy?
If so what is the upper level of application allowed for children and do you know how many times children apply these sanitisers to their hands in a 24 hour period?
Are you aware of the health risks to adults who apply these chemicals in medical settings which include an increased risk of asthma, allergies, skin conditions and gut dysbiosis?
Are you aware that children are not just smaller adults in terms of toxic chemical exposure but for numerous well documented reasons they are likely to be much more vulnerable than adults?
Are you aware of the large body of scientific evidence on the benefits of a healthy gut microbiome and the overuse of hand santiser seems to fly in the face of this science?
These are some of the questions that need to be addressed before you allow any child to increase their exposure to toxic chemicals.
Until a Health Risk Assessment is done or provided, we believe it is unnecessary and potentially harmful.
Again, we live in a Covid free state and such preventative measures are not necessary in the first instance.
