The disinfectant units, called fog machines, are about the size of a golf bag. A special blend of hydrogen peroxide and a silver solution make up the liquid disinfectant that is poured into the fog machine and sprayed in a mist in a sealed-off room.
Lucy Pallot had never experienced the lows of depression and anxiety until she started taking pregabalin.
“I would never even think about suicidal thoughts and that was the only thing we can pin it to, is the Lyrica. That’s all,” said Ms Pallot, 25, from Bairnsdale in Victoria’s east.
She was taking what is now the most commonly prescribed subscription medication for pain in Australia, pregabalin, which is sold under the brand name Lyrica.
Doctors issued 4.1 million scripts for the drug last year.
Ms Pallot, along with a growing number of health professionals and other patients, is now questioning whether pregabalin is being incorrectly prescribed to make up for inadequate specialist healthcare in regional Australia.
In 2017, Ms Pallot, who has type one diabetes, was working in a beauty salon in Melbourne when she went to a doctor complaining of restless legs.
“The doctor who prescribed it to me didn’t do any tests. She just said ‘take this, it will help you sleep’,” she said.
“[It was if the doctor said] medicate yourself, and if it gets worse, have more.”
So that is what Ms Pallot did.
She upped her daily dose from 25 milligrams to 250 milligrams, and within eight months she was addicted and critically ill.
She weighed just 49 kilograms, suffered blurred vision, and had the heart rate of an 80-year-old.
“I ended up losing about 35 kilograms in three months and I was put in hospital for about four to five weeks in ICU in Melbourne because I had anorexia,” Ms Pallot said.
“There were times I would be rocking. I was fully, mentally unwell.
“And I had this brain fog where I would try to say something but the words wouldn’t come out.”
It is a gross mismanagement of our resources that we are not doing a better job of looking after our most precious physical assets.
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing. Isaac Asimov, one of the most important figures of 20th century science fiction.

Coronavirus is an ordinary flu like virus and far less fatal. I thought this immediately when I began to read about it. However, today I met with a client who KNOWS about it. He runs a government certified microbiological testing lab testing food and other products. BTI helps with security for the lab which contains samples of really bad stuff. We do their access control, cameras, alarm, and telephone systems to protect the public from getting into the wrong place. I asked what he thought about coronavirus. His words were that it’s a tailor made, relatively weak bug to sell hysteria, government control, and vaccines.

Many probiotic products on the market may claim to contain high amounts of beneficial bacteria, but if the product has been heated during manufacturing—that beneficial bacteria could be no longer.
On today’s episode, I’m with practitioner Brad Leech to discuss a few myths about probiotics.

Colonel L. Fletcher Proudly spills the beans about how oil was deliberately, incorrectly classified as a fossil fuel, when in fact it is Abiotic. As such, it is replenished, naturally occurring source. Peak oil is a myth, or more accurately, a lie. Just like almost everything else the establishment ever told you.
