Comments (34)Common sense, Eric. Still, you can't provide proof that there is such a thing as "prevention" using vaccines. When polio ran its course, THEN modern medicine came out with "vaccines" and said "Look what we've cured!!" You can't possibly quantify nor qualify those kinds of smoke and mirrors. But modern medicine wants to take credit for "curing" a disease that had already finished running its course. Spanish influenza ran its course. Biggest cause was social stress in the aftermath of WWI and poor nutrition. Not some virus. Remember, figures lie. And liars figure. Modern medicine is chasing its tail. Besides, one last dig at modern medicine: Vaccine use is based on the germ theory of disease. But I proved with deductive reasoning a long time ago that germs don't cause any disease. (Another subject entirely.) So, again, Eric. the vaccine therapies are built on an erroneous assumption. Remember the Welhausen Theory of Higher Criticism. If a theory is built on erroneous assumptions, then the whole theory has to be thrown out. HerbDoctor...See Moreflu
Comments (1)I usually don't get flu shots for my babies because they have to be given 2X when they are that young and it is a hassle, and since I'm a stay-at-home mom, the risks of them getting something are less than if they were in day care. I also nurse my babies, so I know that is supposed to make their immune systems stronger. Once the kids are in school I make sure and get their flu shots each year, and I especially make my husband get his flu shot. He is an independent contractor, so he doesn't get sick days or anything like that---he doesn't work, we don't get paid. I just try to make my boys wash their hands when they get home from school. My kids are generally pretty healthy. Tyffanie...See MoreAnyone else got the flu that isn't in the vaccine?
Comments (15)Got my flu shot in October and a couple days later came down with a cold. A nasty, nasty strain of cold is going around. I've been coughing for just over two months. Violent coughing at one point. So violent that I pulled a muscle in my side. Ran a fever last week and was out of work for two days. Haven't had a fever for 30 years. Have gone through two combo boxes of Day/NIght Theraflu, a bottle of Nyquil, 11 bags of cough drops, a 10-day course of Augmentin (antibiotic) that made me sicker, and finally, a 5-day course Z-pak which has nearly stopped the coughing. Saw my doctor for a six week checkup yesterday and since I'm still not 100%, he ordered a CT of my sinuses to see if I still have some kind of infection. Yep, something really nasty is going around (though I don't think it's the flu) and I'll be so happy when it's gone. Jodi-...See MoreTermites in my garden
Comments (57)Thanks for the beautiful message Samuel... and also so sorry Khalid, yes, I've missed your post, it seems like they always end up above my time-zone-post, and I don't scroll up often enough... Khalid, over here tobacco is so expensive, like almost everything these days...our rand has weakened extensively... maybe if I dig a few holes and sprinkle it inside around my roses? it might just work...I will get hold of the cheapest brand tobacco - that is also normally the strongest...thanks for that idea...and, maybe mixing it with water and just pouring it around the areas where I know these critters are might work even better? I will surely try that - it might be easier than all the other ideas I had so far....I don't think there will be many other insects where they are, except for the ants that prey on them? Straw? what do you think, maybe this could be a great solution? Answer on termites Samuel - they are not the ants I referred to - the big black ants and tiny ones were the ants I referred to being deterred by the wood ash, unfortunately... but I have lots of boric acid now that I will paint or spray onto logs as bait for the termites, also sticks with boric acid sprayed on that I will plant inside the soil where I know they dwell. plus I will dab Vetiver oil onto cotton swabs and put that all around my vulnerable roses. My beautiful Sharifa Asma was starting to look as if she is going to die any moment when I decided to just pour some Vetiver oil around her into the soil and the next day she was looking perky again... I know that is one bed where I saw millions of these termites...the same happened with my Compassion climber - and after that Vetiver treatment no more drooping, so I know that works, except a tiny 15 ml bottle costs more than R100 - to me that's a lot...especially if having to use it over a large area. So I dabbed some cotton swabs with it and also dripped a few drops onto logs... That is the best oil for termites, and I'll use it everywhere now, the little bit that's left at least...too expensive to buy another bottle... I also mailed your YouTube doc on beneficial nematodes to my local nursery and hopefully they can source that from the biological lab at the university in town. That would be the very best and permanent solution to termites. Thanks so much for that info. But...I will definitely get hold of that tobacco as well....definitely...the nematode-solution might take a long time to happen... yes Straw, homeopathy is loving oneself and nature, just like organic gardens and roses...Hydrogen Peroxide is an amazing cure - some people I know have used it to stop gangrene in severely infected feet due to accidents, where the foot started turning green and doctors recommended amputations. Samuel you stay in paradise, what a beautiful landscape...you are blessed to be able to stay there...please share more photo's with us?...See MoreDiane Smith at Walter E. Smithe Furniture
