Vitamin D is so underrated. Many urbanites are deprived of it because they live and work in boxes that have no direct sun exposure, then scurry underground into their mobile sardine cans. And we wonder why they are unhealthy and neurotic...

D3, Quercetin, Bromaline, zinc, C, Prozac, Nicotinimide riboside with Pterostilbene, melatonin, EGCG... I might not have "been blessed" with beautiful verdant land holdings (I'd grown up in Pittsburgh & live in NYC) but, whie skin, testosterone & New Deal/ Dixiecrat support for white-flight union might red-lined ofay kids, after Sputnik & educated LOTS of us boomers outa life-long poverty. So, infected two years ago; we'd no scary symptoms until day 14. So, Bet'ya phyto-polyphenol iso-flavonoid rich diets & supplements might've helped (since we'd not had to work while the cytokine storm hijacked our immune systems, into killing or disabling us, while we infected immunocompromised loved ones, coworkers & commuters?)

There is no such thing as a "viral infection." Germ theory is BS. I have learned much over the past two years of forced isolation! But don't take MY word for it, I'm just a critical thinker... Here's a book title, and a link to a short video that's informative... Thomas Cowan, MD: "The Contagion Myth" and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OGuWWI5aHE Cheers!

We can supplement... it's why we get sick in the winter, or a very big contributing factor-- not from "viruses." xo

Well we most definitely had a novel coronavirus fuck us up. After two weeks of, "guess, our immune systems ain't so bad, for old cityfolk?" We couldn't get oxygen (though, I could easily hold my breath for 90 seconds, carried food up 7 stories, including beer cases; neither had a fever). She had a cough, I had anosmia, SCARY stabby inflammatory like flesh eating critters: esophagus/ heart, brain & guts. No calling 911 in those days! 1st video Dr, on day 22. By May, blood O2 back up to 91-93. If not a virus, why were everyone's symptoms similar (yet different from what we were told?)

"Most definitely"? According to what? A PCR?

I have no idea what you had. How could I? What I'm saying is, there is no such thing as a "virus." There are PLENTY of troubles we can experience. AND ... this is important ... along with the fact that SARS COVII is ******patented,****** and along with the fact that the PCR was used fraudulently to create "cases," and along with the fact that we have NO IDEA whether or not be are being poisoned somehow, with 5G (I'd say definitely), with some bioweapon sprayed over us with airplanes (would be easy!) or otherwise loosed upon us...

I, too, experienced a very debilitating something, for about a day, and then weakness for a couple more days-- like nothing I've ever had before. I cannot say for sure what that was, so I don't. But I'm telling you there is fuckery afoot, and we're not being told just what it is (it could be a combination of things), for obvious reasons (when has a criminal ever freely admitted doing what they do AS THEY DO IT?). It is no secret the Globalists have a depopulation agenda; they've been telling us their plans for a while. They are giddy about it, gleeful. I can't MAKE anyone be aware of the pieces that are jagged and ill-fitting, that's up to each of us. I think it takes a leap of the usual thinking, a willingness to face the idea that Pure Evil might be the cause of MOST of our problems, that deliberate death and destruction is being carried out... It's difficult for a lot of people to allow themselves to see it... it's terrifying. But somehow some of us DO. And that's the first step to stopping it.

PCR were unavailable to anybody not on a gurney. We'd not been to Wuhan, no real comorbidities, no pneumonia, but IgG, IgM, spike & B-memory were pretty much, our first verification. With Omicron, we'd each had negative, then positive antigen & PCR (less cursory testing?) But: the whole creepy endothelial microvascular thromboembolism didn't just hit 3-5 million folks, and BA.1 sero-prevalance magically sweep through this city in 2 weeks by (divulge conspiracy theory, here) I'm guessing, it's demonstrably market driven. Catastrophe Capitalism's kinda redundant?

I don't know what you mean by "PCR were unavailable to anybody not on a gurney." The PCR was used almost exclusively here in the US, and I believe, pretty much globally, at least for the first year. There may have been other kinds of tests, too, and I would think so, after hospitalization or in a doctor's visit, once these options were available once again, but I don't think Wuhan really had anything to do with any of this, except that it was apparently the lab where this bioweapon was at least finished off, if begun at Ft. Detrick. Omicron is a computer-simulated, manufactured fear tool. Since Covid has STILL never been isolated, and Omicron is an utterly meaningless media prop, I wonder what you're reading, or watching-- I'd like to read/watch them, too... You appear to have definite suspicions, and I'd say that's right on. That said, antibodies can be present for years and maybe lifetimes, maybe inherited from one's mother; as I understand it, spike proteins are indeed part of the evil; as for B-memory cells, I am not educated enough in these details to be definitive, and since Pharma has created a fake medical paradigm (there is no "virus" and no contagion-- NEVER been proven, either of these!), I simply don't trust their propaganda. Not saying NOTHING is accurate or true, but I'm not expert enough on some of this to know. From reading about the blood clotting factor, I do think that that was a deliberate factor of the killing jab. Ditto for the myocarditis and other heart problems, neurological damage (and that happened a lot with previous "vaccines"), sudden death, lung damage, etc. Understand, I'm not stupid, but neither am I any kind of medical expert, I am a gleaner/summarizer kind of person. I listen to experts and the ones that make sense, and seem trustworthy, and back up what they say with information and citation, I pay heed. Others, maybe not. Since we have a campaign of propaganda all over the globe, and since there is clearly (in my mind) a depopulation program, and since much of the medical community has been compromised, either by bribery or by coercion, it's tricky knowing what's what.

I believe that what CAN be demonstrably shown is that the lock-downs were harmful, NOT helpful, and same for masking; the PCR was a deliberately fraudulent means of creating "cases"; the supposed "virus" causing all this has never been found and is patented (maybe that's why it's never been found...), hospitals and doctors have been paid to lie; hundreds of thousands of people have suffered debilitating results from this jab, and many have died; our civil and human rights have been stomped; the media is lying to us with scripted lies; I watched hours and hours of expert testimony in the People's Grand Jury presented by Reiner Feullmich and company... if you want the down and dirty on all the fronts of this, I recommend it highly, but it is a LOT of time and listening to some difficult accents of various folks, but definitely worth the time if you want very clear, scientific information and highly credible sources all in once place. https://odysee.com/@GrandJury:f

But media forgot to notice: Omicron hit South Africa during a school holiday, during their summer. So, when Holland, Hong Kong, UK & Dane kids vectored the new variant; kids rapidly clogged hospitals, vaccinated breakthroughs were NOT, ah, er... "mild" and national healthcare meant, they'd not been able to HIDE how quickly BA.1 replaced Delta, that kids' mucosal viral loads made them vectors (day 2-5, since onset was quicker) but touched-off MIS-C along with inflammatory circulatory damage & chronic PASC in all age groups.

You don't know how much I needed to hear this right now. I have read too much vitriol this morning and have gotten myself into a funk. I am blessed to have a large property with several magnolia trees one of which is currently blooming - the fragrance is intoxicating! It is soooo good to spend time reflecting in nature - to spend time getting your hands dirty in the soil and gardening - to walk in nature for your own health benefits - it's just so incredibly good for both body and spirit. Thank you for this lovely reminder!

Your are blessed. What a treat to have all of that nature at your fingertips. I grew up in the country and miss those days. My mom was adamant about us kids playing in the dirt. She would always say, “exposure to sunshine & dirt will keep you healthy” and we are to this day.

Expand full comment

Yes I am greatly blessed. And I would agree as a biologist that there is merit in being outdoors & playing in dirt. There are many beneficial bacteria in the soil. I know it grosses people out but your whole body is literally covered in bacteria and it’s a wonderful thing! There is great harm in bleaching & sanitizing everything - it leaves room for harmful bacteria to get a foothold.

Not gross at all. I totally agree in the harm of bleaching and sanitizing everything.

Scary, seeing robust immunity speciously ascribed to exposure to microorganisms (like saying Polio, Rubella, TB & strep didn't hit poor folks?) It was certainly used by media, "Black essentials & Latino farmworkers won't die, being generically predisposed & exposed to working through pneumonia" BS. Here, this lie was repeated as 3-4 times as many Blacks & Latinos died, for all the most well understood reasons. WFH Yuppie, skedaddled upstate all somehow proved immune? If you rode packed trains, has kids asymptomatic stuck with grandma, while you DoorDash by bicycle on icy sreeets; wash, intubate, bag, load or bury pus & blood covered corpses. Chances are, your chances are pretty bad?

My mother is Mexican. She’s 82. She was very very poor. She did not go beyond an 8th grade education. Both my grandmother and great grandmother lived to be 98 and 101 years old. Farming and being a seamstress was how they survived. So perhaps what she said to me was simply an old wives tale passed down to her. I’m okay with that. Another old wives tale was to boil bay leaves to make a tea to get rid of menstraul cramps. That worked too. It sounds like you have studied and know much more on the microorganism than I do. As a kid, It never occurred to me to question her. Perhaps it was a combination of an old wives tale AND the power of the mind which has kept me healthy!

Heck, I grew up eating catfish outa Chartiers Creek & drinking from the Monongahela? I'd taken collards from my mom's yard to the County agent and she DROVE out with replacements, we cut & burned everything there: arsenic, palladium, even strontium, manganese, PCB, pthalates... My great, great grandpa started his bitters business at 90, but my grandpa (who'd nearly died of flu after WW 1) died at 58, lead & ciggies. But nobody ASSUMED we'd do well, living with a disease that killed seven million after 18 million deaths more than 2018 or 2019? We'd hunt and garden and forage and dumpster-dive during Reagan's Miracle. I'm just happy to say, I agree with your mom, and mine?

The Magnolia Tree photo is stunning.

I've done a lot of photography over the years, and the "being there" part of the experience is hard to share. Here is a link to a photo that really worked for me, the Outer Banks in the mid 90s. However, for some people, I guess you would have had to "be there."

While a picture is worth a thousand words, "being there" can leave one speechless.

(The problem with those "thousand words" is they may be the wrong thousand, considering how deceiving looks can be!)

The magnolia have always been a favourite, preferably the colour white. The trees are magical and majestic just like nature itself.

Then comes the cherry trees, they have already started to bloom here in the southern part of Sweden. Amazingly tranquility braces me when seeing them.

What a refreshing post! Thank you. So agree - my walks in the woods are essential 'medicine' on many levels.

It's always great to have some brevity from life. At my old job (before I was let go for not getting poked) I would always take walks during my lunch break into the neighborhoods. It was always so fascinating seeing nature come to life. You would never suspect certain trees to have the type of flowering plants that they have, and there are so many little bird behaviors that I found so fascinating. There was one time where there was this little blue bird (not sure the species) that just hopped around a tree's trunk in a spiral motion, and just as soon as I turned around I found it had hopped to another tree.

We have removed ourselves so much from nature that we miss out on things that many of our prior ancestors experienced on a daily basis. We're not meant to always be online, on social media, or always be stressed out by the news. Nature does not stress itself out over Ukraine or COVID; nature does what nature does. We should return to first principles and look to nature to understand that there are more simple things in life and that we don't always need to work ourselves up.

So true and beautiful. I hope you have peace surrounding the choice you made and your health is good without the jab. I also hope you have discovered new neighborhoods to enjoy nature. Your post warmed my heart today. It was the line about the little blue bird. Earlier today, I was missing a dear friend who passed away couple of years ago. Before he passed, we spoke of having a sign from the Spirit world so I would know he was with me. The sign we chose was a bluebird. Anyway, on my walk today I was missing him and thinking it had been a while since he sent me a bluebird. A couple hours later, there was your post.

Thank you.

Thank you for this, beautiful!

I love the zebra shadows and the stories of the magnolia.

I am fortunate to live surrounded by trees, no pavement, cars or even humans to be seen or heard.

It is a good place to dig deep.

Yes, magnolia trees are amazing, a gift really from the ancient earth. I wonder if they have-evolved/are-evolving to allow flying pollinators, or whether their beetle pollinators are sometime flyers today. I think I read that we now believe there are/have-been more beetles than any other creature including wasps.

In spring, I always get fooled by tulip trees, thinking from a certain distance, "Look! A magnolia in bloom!" (The tulip poplar tree is not a poplar tree and not related to tulip flowers but is actually a member of the Magnolia family.)

Good morning from Canada, where the sun doesn't shine much at this time of year but we do grow Magnolia trees, at least in my neighbourhood. They seem to have buds even in winter. Thanks for reminding all of us to step back from the fray and seek solace in nature. As Goethe said, we are part of her, cannot venture beyond her and she never disappoints...

Nice. We're taking 6 weeks across Mexico to help VitD ;) also they don't need vaccination or any paperwork for entry.

Sadly they love masks, and with armed police I'm ironically having to chin-strap (good enough!) for the first time in the last few years.
