Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I’m on the same page. Personally, I can barely tolerate the legacy media anymore and instead listen to music or watch podcasts. I’m just sick of the lies.

As for eating lab created “food”, I just have one very simple rule. I don’t eat fake food.

I haven’t seen a doctor in several years and hope that I don’t have to, because I would have to search for one that I could tolerate, and I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

I pray that you find the cause of the headaches. Keep us posted.

Well CT. Is about as woke as can be butI agree with you 100%! The medical profession is as disfunction as someone completely illiterate yet we are programmed to depend on them!

Had a similar experience with a dentist during covid. I wasn't allowed in the waiting room without a mask. I was the only person IN the waiting room. When I started questioning how I would be able to be in a room with no mask during the exam and be safe I never got an answer. That was right before I left.

I'm really surprised that it's not a dental infection. Your symptoms seem to be exactly what mine were. So if it does turn out to be an infection, you're not interested in taking a fluoroquinalone class antibiotic, maybe for months? Are you some kind of cultist or science denier or something?

Thank you very much for the regenerative farm finder link. I've been looking for a source for good meat, and it looks like I have one very near where I get my raw milk.

Glad you found a regenerative farm.

I was very surprised as well by the cone beam CT results. I’m still going to have someone else review the results (I made sure to leave the dentist with a copy in my hands).

I had told the new doctor when asked about any drug allergies that I would not take a floxy drug and she asked why. That says a lot.

Thank you. It's all about the money, always the money, the love of which is the root of all kinds of evil.

I've watched a few YT videos on retirement. Inevitably, somone will point out that you need to have enough retirement money to cover big medical bills, before you can retire. Why is that? I know that the last year of life can rack up medical expenses. But it's like the assumption is that we are diseased and unhealthy. Old age didn't use to be like that.

Imagine what old age will look like for the children of today, if they get to old age.

I was actually a big fan of Castle when it originally aired, since it was a much more lighthearted police crime show than most of the ones on TV. Pre-pandemic insanity, I doubt my ears would have even picked up on this nonsense about vaccination and antibodies. I don't think this part of your conclusion makes sense, though:

"First, not having antibodies does not mean the person was unvaccinated. The person may have been vaccinated since vaccine antibodies are short-lived and do not last a lifetime.

This also means that if the person were unvaccinated and did not have antibodies, if you believe in viral infections, this would also mean that this person was never sick or exposed to any of these so-called dangerous and deadly viruses."

Antibodies are short-lived, but they aren't only created by getting vaccinated. You can produce antibodies through good ol' fashioned natural infection. So a person could have had chickenpox or whatever viral infection a long time ago, produced antibodies at some point, and they just go away since they are short-lived. During the pandemic, the media seemed almost obsessed with talking about antibodies, but that's not the only thing our immune system has to protect us from getting sick. There's also NK cells and T cells.

I very rarely watch TV these days and had never even heard of Elsbeth. Looking up the premise on IMDB, I can see why they would dismiss Faraday bags. In the privacy/security space, people in that space actually recommend Faraday bags. Michael Bazzell from https://inteltechniques.com/links.html recommends this brand on his site:

Thanks for the link for regenerative farms. That's a topic I've been very curious about, having heard about it from a bunch of health/wellness podcasts and books. I have some serious concerns about how this term will be used. There was an interesting blog post I came across from an agriculture startup that you might be interested in reading:

There was also this great piece from Joomi Kim in defense of conspiracy theories:

Thank you for the links. I’ll check them out when I have a chance. As for antibodies, according to the belief in viral infections- if you got sick with say chickenpox, the antibodies would be lifelong not short-lived, thus an unvaccinated person without antibodies means they were never sick with that virus. Short-lived antibody production only comes from vaccines.

Oooh, I see. I hadn't heard that distinction about the lifespan of antibodies being different depending on whether it was produced from natural infection or vaccination. I feel like the pandemic revealed to the public that there are still many things about viruses, our immune system, etc. that the scientific/medical community STILL don't fully understand. For example, I remember people mentioning how people who had mild symptoms and recovered from COVID-19 didn't even develop detectable antibodies. I just did a quick search online and found this piece:

https://www.livescience.com/why-lifelong-immunity.html

From the article:

"The common cold, and other viruses that don’t typically get past our upper respiratory tract, reinfect us not necessarily because they mutate rapidly, but because our body doesn't usually produce many antibodies against these pathogens in the first place, said Mark Slifka, an immunologist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. "Our bodies are not worried about the upper respiratory tract," he said. That's what we're seeing with mild cases of COVID-19. The virus sticks to the upper respiratory tract, where the body does not treat it like a threat. In a 2020 preprint study (meaning it hasn't been peer reviewed yet) published in the database MedRxiv, 10 out of 175 patients who had mild symptoms recovered from COVID-19 without developing detectable antibodies."
