Omicron Spread

Posted on December 17, 2021 by Ken
I AM not a believer in the vaccine: U.S. Covid Deaths Get Redder. 

Lakota Word: “Ista Cante” the eye of the heart, through which we are born, no judgement, pure, a reflection of the great spirit. When we connect to the Origin of self we open a world Beyond any perception, any logic, a language spoken in the realms of the infinite Spirit.Eagle

It was only a few percentage points higher in counties where Donald Trump had won at least 60 percent of the vote than in counties where Joe Biden crossed that threshold. In counties where neither candidate won 60 percent, the death toll was higher than in either Trump or Biden counties. There simply was not a strong partisan pattern to Covid during the first year that it was circulating in the U.S.

Then the vaccines arrived.
They proved so powerful, and the partisan attitudes toward them so different, that a gap in Covid’s death toll quickly emerged. I have covered that gap in two newsletters — one this summer, one last month — and today’s newsletter offers an update.
The brief version: The gap in Covid’s death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point.
In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000). October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in Trump counties and Biden counties widened. Some conservative writers have tried to claim that the gap may stem from regional differences in weather or age, but those arguments fall apart under scrutiny. (If weather or age were a major reason, the pattern would have begun to appear last year.) 

The true explanation is straightforward: The vaccines are remarkably effective at preventing severe Covid, and almost 40 percent of Republican adults remain unvaccinated, compared with about 10 percent of Democratic adults. Charles Gaba, a Democratic health care analyst, has pointed out that the gap is also evident at finer gradations of political analysis: Counties where Trump received at least 70 percent of the vote have an even higher average Covid death toll than counties where Trump won at least 60 percent. (Look up your county.)

As a result, Covid deaths have been concentrated in counties outside of major metropolitan areas. Many of these are in red states, while others are in red parts of blue or purple states, like Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Virginia and even California. This situation is a tragedy, in which irrational fears about vaccine side effects have overwhelmed rational fears about a deadly virus. It stems from disinformation — promoted by right-wing media, like Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, the Sinclair Broadcast Group and online sources — those preys on the distrust that results from stagnant living standards.

A peak? future of Covid is uncertain, but I do think it’s possible that the partisan gap in Covid deaths reached its peak last month. There are two main reasons to expect the gap may shrink soon.
One, the new antiviral treatments from Pfizer and Merck seem likely to reduce Covid deaths everywhere, and especially in the places where they are most common. These treatments, along with the vaccines, may eventually turn this coronavirus into just another manageable virus. Two, red America has probably built up more natural immunity to Covid — from prior infections — than blue America, because the hostility to vaccination and social distancing has caused the virus to spread more widely. A buildup in natural immunity may be one reason that the partisan gap in new Covid cases has shrunk recently.

Death trends tend to lag case trends by a few weeks, which suggests the gap in deaths will shrink in November.
Still, nobody knows what will happen next. Much of the recent decline in caseloads is mysterious, which means it may not last. And the immunity from vaccination appears to be much stronger than the immunity from infection, which means that conservative Americans will probably continue to suffer an outsized amount of unnecessary illness and death.

More on the virus:
Starting today, international travelers may enter the U.S. 
with proof of vaccination and a negative Covid test.
Housing advocates expected an eviction crisis to hit the U.S. like a tsunami.
Instead, it is unfolding slowly, especially in places with few tenant protections.
Romania, where religious figures have pushed anti-vaccine disinformation,
has the world’s highest Covid death rate.
After a woman died with long Covid, her family feared her organs were unsafe to donate. It points to gaps in protocols for organ donation in the pandemic.

Covid is worse for men on average than for women, and
vaccination rates don’t explain the difference. What could?

New data analysis has revealed that if US Democratic voters were to make up their own country, it would have one of the world’s most vaccinated populations, with over 91% of adults having received at least one shot.

 ‘It’s a fraught moment’: Omicron puts brakes on US return-to-office plans.
Meanwhile, approximately only 60% of Republican adults have received their first shot, according to data research by the New York Times.
And the gap in Covid’s death toll between “blue” states that vote mostly Democratic and “red” states that vote mostly Republican this fall widened more quickly than at any previous point of the pandemic.
A total of 25 out of every 100,000 residents in counties that voted for Donald Trump died of Covid in October, compared to the 7.8 per 100,000 in counties that voted heavily for Biden, according to the data analysis from the Times.
October marked the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap of death rates in red and blue counties widened.
Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst, said that in October, the “reddest” tenth of the US saw death rates from coronavirus six times higher than the “bluest” tenth.
“Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks,” he told National Public Radio. “It’s back down to 5.5 times higher.”
Counties where Trump received over 70% of the vote experienced an even higher average of Covid-19 deaths compared to counties where Trump won at least 60%, the new data research revealed.

On the contrary, Covid-19 deaths in heavily Biden counties and swing counties did not rise over the past two months, despite the nationwide surge in cases.
In a press briefing on Friday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reiterated the importance of Covid-19 precautionary measures and vaccines.
When asked about whether Biden will change his holiday plans and encourage Americans to think twice about doing anything special for the holiday break, she said: “We know that vaccines work, we know testing works … We know masking works … so we’re going to continue to double down on the steps and the approaches that we know have been effective to date.”
Earlier this week, the US death toll from Covid-19 passed 800,000, marking the highest reported toll of any country in the world.

The US accounts for approximately 4% of the world’s population but about 15% of the 5.3m known deaths from the coronavirus since the outbreak began in China two years ago.

By the end of 2020, there was no discernible difference between the rate of people who died of COVID-19 from areas that voted for President Biden and those who voted for former President Donald Trump — but “then the vaccines arrived,” and “they proved so powerful, and the partisan attitudes toward them so different, that a gap in COVID’s death toll quickly emerged,” David Leonhardt writes in Monday’s New York Times. And now, “the gap in COVID’s death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point.”
Residents of heavily Trump counties were more than three times likely to die from COVID in October than those in heavily Biden counties — 25 per 100,000 versus 7.8 per 100,000 — Leonhardt reports. “Some conservative writers have tried to claim that the gap may stem from regional differences in weather or age, but those arguments fall apart under scrutiny.” In fact, he argues, the “straightforward” explanation is that “the vaccines are remarkably effective at preventing severe COVID, and almost 40 percent of Republican adults remain unvaccinated, compared with about 10 percent of Democratic adults.”

So while the pandemic has shifted regions, Leonhardt writes, “COVID deaths have been concentrated in counties outside of major metropolitan areas. Many of these are in red states, while others are in red parts of blue or purple states, like Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Virginia, and even California.””
“This situation is a tragedy, in which irrational fears about vaccine side effects have overwhelmed rational fears about a deadly virus,” Leonhardt writes, but the good news is that the partisan gap very well may have peaked, thanks to promising new antiviral COVID-19 medications from Pfizer and Merck and greater natural immunity in hard-hit red America. There are caveats, like that natural immunity appears to be weaker than vaccinated immunity, and that so much about the pandemic is still mysterious.

COVID-19 San Diego

East County News Service December 6, 2021 (San Diego) –
The number of COVID-19 cases reported by San Diego County’s Health and Human Service Agency jumped to 1,153 on December 2nd. That’s nearly double the numbers the prior two days, which were in the 600s.  County health officials s believe the upturn is tied to Thanksgiving gatherings and not due to the new Omicron variant, which has not yet been identified in San Diego County. The Delta variant still accounts for nearly all COVID-19 cases and deaths in the U.S.
The news comes on the heels of a National Public Radio (NPR) analysis which found death rates from COVID-19 in recent months have ranged from three to six times higher in Republican-leaning red states than in Democratic leaning blue states – a dramatic difference likely due primarily to high vaccination rates in blue states and low vaccination rates in red states. NPR credits the high death rate in red states to misinformation on COVID and vaccines.

“Unfortunately, rises like these after holidays are not unexpected,” said Cameron Kaiser, M.D., M.P.H., County deputy public health officer. Kaiser says more case increases are likely to occur during the next couple months because of other upcoming holidays.
“County residents need to be mindful that Delta is still out there,” Kaiser said. “Indoor masking, vaccination and good hygiene are still strongly advised. People should not visit family and friends or go to work if you’re ill.”
With recent detections of the Omicron variant in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the County continues to work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health to review existing recommendations as more data becomes available.
County health officials urge San Diegans to continue following the measures to protect against all varieties of COVID-19, including the Omicron variant.

Get vaccinated and get a booster if you qualify. The vaccine is available at health care providers, retail pharmacies and community clinics. You can also make an appointment or find a site near you by calling (833) 422-4255 or visiting the My Turn website.
Wear a mask, especially in public indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status.
Get tested if you have any symptoms, whether you’ve been vaccinated or not. You can make a free test appointment or find a walk-in test clinic at coronavirus-sd.com.
Wash your hands frequently and stay home if you’re sick and distance yourself from others.

This State Has the Most COVID-19 Deaths In America

Ironically, the nation that is considered the most medically advanced in the world has the highest number of both confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths. The U.S. recorded just over 50.2 million cases, which is 18% of the world’s total. Deaths, at just over 798,000, are 15% of the world’s total. Contributing considerably to these counts is California, the state with the most COVID-19 deaths in America.

The U.S. was hit very hard early in the pandemic. Deaths and cases in New York City and surrounding areas exploded in March, April, and May 2020. Another wave hit the Western states in summer 2020. A third hammered most of the U.S. a year ago, when death rates and cases hit all-time highs. The current wave started in early September and has continued. Holiday gatherings this year could increase infection rates again, particularly as the omicron variant spreads.

Since COVID-19 began to affect people in late 2019 or early 2020, there have been over 270 million confirmed cases worldwide and over 5.2 million deaths. Many experts consider these numbers to be much too low. When the worldwide death figure crossed 5 million, Amber D’Souza, professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told National Geographic, “It’s quite possible that the number of deaths is double what we see.” U.S. case and death counts are also undercounted, according to most experts. (Find out which states are doing a better job fighting the virus: COVID-19: These are the states fighting it most successfully.)

To find the state with the most COVID-19 deaths, 24/7 Wall St. used data from state and local governments current as of Dec. 13. The state where the most people have died of COVID-19 is California. Confirmed deaths sit at 75,554, or close to 10% of the national total. Confirmed cases, at 5,171,240, are also about 10% of the national figure. California’s population is just below 40 million, or about 12% of the American total.

California almost completely missed the first wave of COVID-19 in America, which ran from March to May 2020. It was hit at a moderate level by the summer surge last year. The surge that started a year ago and ran until late January was the devastating one in California. Highly populated parts of the state like Los Angeles County ran out of intensive care beds. (Find out if California is among the states where the most people are vaccinated.)

Cannabis Oil

Posted on December 16, 2021 by Ken
When I Began Blogging December 21st, 2011, I quickly learned Cannabis Is
the Single Most Popular Topic That Visitors Want to Read from This Blog.

Through Years I Have Learned Don’t Smoke it. Consume The Oil, Do Your Own Research and to find A Professional Who Has a Proven Track Record with Cancer Patients.
Most Importantly: Never Consume More Than the One Gram Daily Which Rick Simpson Suggests in his Videos. Reason: Excessive Amounts Can Cause Seizures. (Start At 1:1 Ratio CBD | THC and Make the Ratio Work for You?)

The #1 Cause of Marijuana Side Effects, Say Experts,
Marijuana is no longer the unfairly maligned vice of decades past. Today, more Americans than ever support its legalization and recreational use. Medical marijuana—which is now legal in 36 states—has science-supported benefits. But that doesn’t mean pot is completely harmless; no drug is. (Even the most familiar over-the-counter medications like aspirin and ibuprofen have side effects and contraindications.) In some people, marijuana can cause side effects that are unpleasant and even dangerous. This is the main reason why. Read on to find out more—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.

1. The #1 Cause of Marijuana Side Effects.
Marijuana contains an ingredient called THC, a.k.a. delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. It’s psychoactive, meaning that it works on the brain. THC is responsible for many of marijuana’s most well-known side effects, from relaxation and appetite stimulation (the drug is prescribed to some chronically ill people who have lost their appetite) to some that may be distressing or harmful.  Read on to find out more.

2. Sleep Problems.
According to research published last month in BMJ, recent marijuana users were 34% more likely to report short sleep duration—less than six hours a night—than non-users. People who used cannabis within the last 30 days
were also more likely to oversleep—meaning more than nine hours a night—compared to non-users. Recent marijuana users were also more likely to say they had difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much during the past two weeks.  “Current evidence suggests that delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the other major cannabinoid present in most strains of cannabis, has stimulant and hallucinogenic properties contributing to sleep disruption,” the study’s authors wrote.

3. Anxiety and Mental Health Issues.
A 2019 study published in The Lancet Psychiatry found that daily marijuana users were three times as likely to experience psychosis—losing touch with reality—than non-users. Several previous studies have associated marijuana use with anxiety and depression. “Marijuana should be used with caution if you have a mental health condition,” warns the Mayo Clinic. “Marijuana use might worsen manic symptoms in people who have bipolar disorder. If used frequently, marijuana might increase the risk of depression or worsen depression symptoms.”

4. Heart Problems.
As THC moves from the lungs into the bloodstream, it can increase heart rate and blood pressure, raising the risk of heart attack and stroke. “Marijuana raises heart rate for up to three hours after smoking,” says the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). “This effect may increase the chance of heart attack. Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk.” 
One study found that heart attack risk increases up to five times in the first hour after using marijuana.

5. Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS).
Some heavy marijuana users experience severe queasiness, vomiting, and stomach pain. It’s called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS. Experts estimate 2.7 million Americans experience the condition, which is frequently misdiagnosed. Last year, it was the subject of a “Medical Mysteries” column in the Washington Post. One study found that the cannabinoid receptors THC attaches to may cause reduced intestinal motility, or prevent the digestive system from doing its job, leading to nausea and vomiting.

6. Risks to Fetal Development.
A recent study conducted by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that children of women who use cannabis during pregnancy have a greater risk for developmental and behavioral issues. “Maternal cannabis use is associated with increased cortisol, anxiety, aggression, and hyperactivity in young children,” the study’s authors wrote. “This corresponded with widespread reductions in immune-related gene expression in the placenta which correlated with anxiety and hyperactivity.” Adds NIDA: “With regular use, THC can reach amounts in breast milk that could affect the baby’s developing brain.” And to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don’t miss these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.

One major downside to this decision is the lack of information about the potential side effects of marijuana use. Because the federal government categorizes pot as having no medicinal value and a high likelihood for abuse, research grants related to weed consumption are sparse.
Even without a lot of research, though, experts do know that marijuana use is not totally consequence-free as it relates to people’s physical health and wellbeing. What are the Side Effects of Weed and Using Marijuana?

Some of the negative effects of weed and cannabis below might be controversial to some, but each person is different and will be impacted in their own individual way.

1. Addiction.
There’s long been a debate about whether pot is physically addictive and very little about whether it’s psychologically addictive. Both are true, especially as it concerns younger, long-term users who started their habit on potent strains with high THC, the psychoactive ingredient in weed.

2. Memory Loss.
A study that followed more than 3,000 American pot users over a 25-year period discovered that people who used weed on a daily basis for five years or more developed a “poorer verbal memory in middle age than people who didn’t smoke or smoked less.”
Many users will agree that they have had bouts of not remembering something that happened at some point while high.

3. Social Anxiety Disorders.
A committee appointed by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine assessed marijuana-usage data and reports that regular use can lead to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and even schizophrenia.

4. Paranoia.
A study conducted at the University of Oxford found that the psychoactive element of pot, THC, can lead users to feel a sense of paranoia as a result of
the changes in their sensory perception. Sometimes the strain of marijuana smoked can have an impact in this area, with certain strains causing more paranoia than others.

5. Heart Damage.
Though the stereotype is that pot mellows people out, it can also significantly raise a person’s heart rate for up to three hours.
One study found that people who use pot are “26 percent more likely to have a stroke at some point in their lives than people who didn’t use marijuana.”

6. Lung Problems.
According to the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute, pot has a similar range of chemicals to tobacco when smoked. Long-term use, notes the institute, increases the risk of serious respiratory issues, such as airway inflammation, wheezing and an increase in mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract.

7. Low Testosterone.
High levels of THC, found in many of the more modern strains of pot, do cause the body to produce lower levels of testosterone.
Low testosterone can lead to sluggishness, weight gain and a diminished libido among other side effects. Fortunately, testosterone levels generally return to normal when marijuana use is stopped.

8. Appetite Irregularities.
Cannabinoids affect cells in the brain that have to do with appetite. These cells, which normally tell the brain that the body is full, transform and cause feelings of hunger.
This can lead to weight gain, and there’s also anecdotal evidence that regular smokers sometimes experience a lack of any appetite unless they’re under the influence of THC, which can lead to weight loss.

9. Risk of Greater Potency.
With lax regulations on marijuana products, certain strains of marijuana
have incredibly high rates of THC compared to pot from just 20 years ago.
Between 2013 and 2014, shortly after Colorado legalized recreational weed, emergency room visits doubled, mostly as a result of potent edibles.

10. Decrease in Motor Responses.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that “marijuana significantly impairs motor coordination and reaction time,” which is a detriment, most especially while driving, but can be a factor in other types of preventable accidents as well.

11. Poor Decisions.
While there’s been no recorded fatal overdose as a result of weed, there’s no question that many people think differently while “high” as opposed to when they’re sober.
This doesn’t always lead to the best decisions, whether it’s eating too much, getting behind the wheel or deciding to stay “high” all the time.

Will Marijuana Addiction Become a Problem?
While marijuana is widely recognized as being much safer when compared to alcohol and other drugs, it can still cause many of the health issues described above.

Most marijuana users will agree that they have experienced some,
if not many of these negative side effects of weed at any given time.
Now that marijuana is recently legal in many parts of the country, time will tell if the most debated of these side effects – addiction – will become more serious than anyone expected.

marijuana side effects
Marijuana, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),
is the most commonly used illicit drug in the country. However, the marijuana landscape in the United States has changed. Multiple states have legalized the sale and consumption of recreational weed. In addition, most states now allow the use of medicinal marijuana.
Nineteen states, including California, Vermont, Nevada, and Arizona, already have legalized marijuana for recreational use. So it’s simply a matter of time, suggest pro-pot advocates. Hopefully, states will take the initiative in performing valid studies on the adverse side effects of chronic, long-term marijuana use and not focus solely on revenue. After all, the lives of people are more critical than high profits.
70% of High School Seniors responded to the question of the side effects of smoking marijuana by answering, “No Side Effects.”
Even though the federal government still considers pot illegal, it would be shortsighted to expect state marijuana laws to revert.

From a public health standpoint, such widespread use of the drug has raised quite a few concerns, including:
Heavy use can stunt brain development in users until around the age of 25, when the brain reaches maturity
Reduces thinking, learning, and memory functions that can be permanent
Ongoing chronic use, one study suggests, results on average in an eight-point IQ loss between the ages of 13 and 38
.
Possibly cause breathing problems, which lead to an increased risk of chronic lung infections or lung-related illnesses
Raises the heart rate, which can increase the likelihood of heart attack, especially among older users or those with existing heart problems
Pregnant women that smoke weed risk causing both brain and behavioral issues in their child
Worsens mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and suicidal thoughts
On average, research suggests, one out of every 11 marijuana users become addicted to the drug.

An interesting point to remember:
Is that this is only the limited amount of information researchers have gathered. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) still lists marijuana as a Schedule I drug.
The University of Texas at Dallas conducted a study using MRI on subjects that do not use pot and those that use it three times a day. Assistant professor at UTD and founder of Advance MRI, Dr. Sina Aslan, said of the study’s results.
“…the structural connectivity or ‘wiring’ of the brain starts degrading with prolonged marijuana use.”
A fascinating 2015 Pew Research survey found that nearly 70 percent of U.S. citizens believe drinking alcohol regularly is more harmful to their health than smoking marijuana. Do we know enough about the long-term side effects of smoking weed to assume it is “better” for you than drinking alcohol? And why do so many people think smoking marijuana isn’t detrimental to your health?

Memory, Emotion, and Learning.
Specific characteristics are in chronic marijuana users:
Poor working memory (for example, forgetting how to install a car battery soon after being shown by a mechanic how to do it)
Impaired executive functioning (ability to manage time, plan, organize, and remember details)
A decline in cognitive processes (lower IQs than non-users)
Although over 400 chemical compounds are in marijuana, most of the side effects experienced are THC, the primary psychoactive substance in cannabis. Prevalent in the brain, cannabinoid receptors readily accept THC and facilitate its ability to induce neural changes in the brain that lead to alternations in various cognitive processes.
Neuroimaging studies investigating the effects of chronic pot use have found potentially permanent alterations in the brain structure of frequent marijuana smokers. Scientists are very interested in the hippocampal area of the brain. The hippocampus controls memory, emotion, and learning. Studies indicate that long-term adult cannabis users present reduced right hippocampus volume.

One study found that 60 percent of high school seniors think that smoking weed is harmless. There is, however, prominent science to the contrary, especially as it relates to teenagers and young people.
Another study involving young adults (18 to 20 years old), heavy marijuana users revealed the same adverse effects on hippocampal volume. Thus, researchers conclude that decreased hippocampal volume may also reinforce risk factors for young adults to develop severe cannabis dependence.
Heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription pain pills, barbiturates, and marijuana all exhibit similar pharmacokinetic properties as marijuana, including Rapidly absorbed by the body.
Quick entrance into the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain)
High bioavailability (in other words, little of the drug once it enters the body)
Short half-lives (the effects of addictive drugs do not last long because they are quickly metabolized and eliminated by the body).

Addictive substances primarily target the brain.

Liver Disease
A 2005 literature review found that endocannabinoids may be “involved in several aspects of acute and chronic liver disease, including vascular changes, modulation of the inflammatory process and neurological function.”

Testicular Cancer
A 2012 study involving healthy men and men diagnosed with testicular cancer suggested a correlation between pot use and the risk of developing it.

Lung Disease.
Pooled analysis results published in the International Journal of Cancer did not find solid evidence that chronic pot-smoking increased a user’s risk for lung cancer. However, the report’s authors reiterated that “the possibility of potential adverse effects for heavy [marijuana] consumption is real.”
According to the American College of Cardiologists report, “Using marijuana raises the risk of stroke and heart failure even after accounting for demographic factors, other health conditions and lifestyle risk factors such as smoking and alcohol use, according to research scheduled for presentation at the American College of Cardiology’s 66th Annual Scientific Session.”

Respiratory Disorders.
Longitudinal studies of habitual pot smokers indicate they experience multiple respiratory symptoms (wheezing, coughing, sputum) similar to those experienced by cigarette smokers. Moreover, bronchial biopsies of chronic cannabis and tobacco smokers show “significant bronchial mucosa histopathology,” or disorders of the bronchial tissues.
Part of the side effects of weed use is psychological and physical dependency. Statistically speaking, 9% of the people of use marijuana will become addicted to it. After continual use, it can become an intense obsession.

Addictiveness.
A bonafide condition is known as “Cannabis Use Disorder,” as defined by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Millions of people meet the medical criteria for marijuana addiction and need treatment. Part of the criteria is known as “withdrawal,” the psychological and physical manifestations of stopping use.

Congress Holds Moment of Silence Over 800K Deaths, Cornell Reports Possible Omicron Outbreak: COVID Updates – Info Magazine. MSN

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) and lawmakers participate in a moment
of silence in memory of the 800,000 American lives lost to COVID-19 on December 14, 2021, in Washington, DC. alternative. Omicron outbreaks in
New York and New Jersey are spreading faster than those in other states. Compare states’ vaccination progress or select a state to see detailed information

COVID Live Update: Deaths from the Coronavirus – (worldometers.info)
The US death toll from Covid-19 has passed 800,000, a once-unimaginable figure seen as doubly tragic given that more than 200,000 of those lives were lost after vaccines became available last spring. The figure represents the highest reported toll of any country in the world and is likely even higher.

The US accounts for approximately 4% of the world’s population but about
15% of the 5.3 million known deaths from the coronavirus since the outbreak began in China two years ago.

Related: What makes boosters more effective than the first two Covid jabs?
The grim milestone comes as the world braces for rise in cases of the new Omicron variant, with the World Health Organization (WHO) warning it was spreading at an unprecedented rate. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters on Tuesday the variant had been detected in 77 countries and was probably present in most countries worldwide. Omicron, first detected by South Africa and reported to the WHO on 24 November, has a large number of mutations, which has concerned scientists. 
The new variant is posing a fresh threat as it gains a foothold in the US, though experts are not yet sure how dangerous it is. The number of Covid deaths in the US, compiled and released by Johns Hopkins University on Tuesday, is about equal to the population of Atlanta and St Louis combined, or Minneapolis and Cleveland put together. It is roughly equivalent to how many Americans die each year from heart disease or stroke. A closely watched forecasting model from the University of Washington projects a total of over 880,000 reported deaths in the US by 1 March.

The deadly milestone comes as cases and hospitalizations are on the rise again in the US, a spike driven by the highly contagious Delta variant, which arrived in the first half of 2021 and now accounts for nearly all infections. Health experts lament that many of the deaths in the US were especially heartbreaking because the widely available and effective vaccines made them preventable. About 200 million Americans are fully vaccinated, or just over 60% of the population. That is well short of what scientists say is needed to keep the virus in check.
“Almost all the people dying are now dying preventable deaths,” said Dr Chris Beyrer, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “And that’s because they’re not immunized.” When the vaccine was first rolled out, the country’s death toll stood at about 300,000. It hit 600,000 in mid-June and 700,000 on 1 October. Beyrer recalled that in March or April 2020, one of the worst-case scenarios projected upwards of 240,000 American deaths. “And I saw that number, and I thought that is incredible – 240,000 American deaths?” he said.

“And we’re now past three times that number.” He added: “And I think it’s fair to say that we’re still not out of the woods.”

The pandemic could end in 2022 — here’s what ‘normal’ life might look like soon, according to medical experts The pandemic could end in 2022 — here’s what ‘normal’ life might look like soon, according to medical experts By Cory Stieg

Almost two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, an end might finally be in sight.
Experts say that Covid will likely lose its “pandemic” status sometime in 2022, due largely to rising global vaccination rates and developments of antiviral Covid pills that could become more widespread next year.
Instead, the virus will likely become “endemic,” eventually fading in severity and folding into the backdrop of regular, everyday life. Various strains of influenza have followed a similar pattern over the past century or more, from the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 to the swine flu pandemic in 2009.
Covid will probably remain dangerous once the pandemic ends — much like the flu, which killed as many as 62,000 people in the U.S. between October 2019 and April 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But barring any major developments, “normal” post-pandemic life could arrive soon.

Here’s what you can expect from the next year and beyond:
Covid could become much more seasonal.

Once endemic, Covid won’t dictate your daily decision-making as much, as billionaire health philanthropist Bill Gates described in his end-of-year blog post last week: “It won’t be primary when deciding whether to work from the office or let your kids go to their soccer game or watch a movie in a theater.”
Endemic illnesses are always circulating throughout parts of the world but tend to cause milder illness because more people have immunity from past infection or vaccination. You might get a cough and sniffles, but if you’re up to date on your vaccinations, you’ll be protected enough to prevent severe illness or hospitalization.
Like other respiratory viruses, there will be times of year when Covid infections peak — most likely the colder fall and winter months, meaning Covid and flu seasons could regularly coincide going forward.

When sick, you’ll be advised to keep wearing masks and staying home.
If the virus does become more seasonal, wearing a mask on public transit and indoors during Covid season could become the norm — potentially even in offices, says Shaun Truelove, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and member of The Covid Scenario Modeling Hub, a team of researchers who make Covid projections.
Other familiar prevention strategies, like regularly washing your hands and maintaining distancing practices in high-risk settings, could also stick around.
“We don’t necessarily have to come up with new interventions [to prevent Covid],” Dr. Timothy Brewer, a professor of epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, told CNBC Make It last week. “It’s just that we’ve got to do a better job continuing to do the things we know that work.”
To that end, Truelove hopes people “take a little bit more personal responsibility and stay home when they’re sick,” he says. That could mean working from home if you’re symptomatic but still able to work or taking a sick day when you know you need to rest, he adds.

Covid tests could get more affordable and accessible.
If you’ve ever waited in a long line to get a Covid test, or stressed about getting your results back in time for an event, you know firsthand how the country has been “hamstrung by the delays and challenges with getting PCR tests,” Truelove says.
In early December, President Joe Biden announced a plan to require private insurance companies to cover the cost of rapid at-home Covid-19 tests. If you’re one of the 150 million people in the U.S. with private health insurance, you could potentially one day get reimbursed for a Covid test that you buy at the drugstore.
The plan is imperfect, experts say, because not everyone can afford to wait for reimbursement — and the responsibility would fall on consumers to figure out how to file a claim.
At-home Covid tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration are widely available now, but the tests can cost upwards of $20 a pop. Elsewhere around the world, you can get a rapid Covid test for free, a model that some experts say could be replicated in the U.S.

More kids will be able to get vaccinated against Covid.
On November 2, children ages 5 to 11 finally became eligible to get the Covid vaccine. Seven million shots have been administered to those kids so far in December alone, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing Monday.
If you have children under age 5, you might wonder when vaccine eligibility will expand to those young children. Scientists are currently working on getting you an answer, by determining an appropriate dosage for the age group.
It’s an important determination. Too high of a dosage could lead to unwanted side effects, while too low of a dosage won’t effectively protect your child.
Pfizer anticipates having data on its Covid vaccine in this age group by the end of this year, and potentially getting federal authorization in early 2022. Moderna’s researchers won’t have enough comparable data to move forward until mid-January, Dr. Bill Hartman, a principal investigator for UW Health’s KidCOVE Moderna pediatric vaccine trial, told TODAY last week.

Annual Covid boosters could become a reality.
On Monday, Walensky touted boosters as the best available defense against the threat of new Covid variants like omicron. Currently, 27% of fully vaccinated people who are eligible for booster shots have gotten them, according to the CDC.
There’s a chance you might need to get regular Covid boosters going forward. Some experts say that Covid vaccines could become an annual occurrence, similar to your flu shot.
This might be a good thing: If new Covid variants keep popping up, each year’s booster can be specifically designed to fight whichever variant is dominant at the time.
But convincing people to follow through could prove challenging. It’s hard enough to convince people to get their annual flu shots: During the last flu season before Covid, only 48% of American adults got a flu vaccine, according to the CDC.
The CDC currently recommends annual flu vaccinations for anyone 6 months or older.
“People in a pandemic can accept things,” Ali Ellebedy, an associate professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, told STAT on Wednesday. “But I think if you’re talking about a regular vaccine that’s not really needed because of a pandemic, I’m not sure if people would be more accepting of that.”

Don’t miss: Is returning to the office in January actually Covid-safe? Here’s what experts say

AMBRIDGE, Mass. – The omicron variant of the coronavirus is moving faster than surveillance systems can track it and has so unnerved some medical experts that they’re starting to put the brakes on preparations for their holiday gatherings.
“Personally, I’m reevaluating plans for the holidays,” Bronwyn MacInnis, director of pathogen genomic surveillance at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, said on a call with reporters Tuesday. “It’s the responsible thing to do and what feels right given the risk.”
She and a handful of other Massachusetts-based researchers on the call said they’ve been stunned by the pace by which omicron has been crowding out other variants and taking over the pandemic.
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 3% of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. are omicron. But MacInnis said she believes that number was probably an underestimate on Dec. 11 – just three days ago – when the CDC first announced it, and now it’s likely much higher.

HOW DOES COVID-19 AFFECT ME?
 Don’t miss an update with the Coronavirus Watch newsletter
“At the rate that it seems to be spreading, there isn’t a surveillance system on the planet truly that could keep up with it,” MacInnis said.
In some parts of the country, there are hints omicron already accounts for about 15% of cases, said Jeremy Luban, a virus expert at the UMass Chan Medical School.
Omicron has been moving “faster even than the most pessimistic among us thought that it was going to move,” said Dr. Jacob Lemieux, an infectious disease expert at Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a high likelihood that it will come to your holiday gathering.”
While previous variants popped up in one country and then another, and “you could watch it unfold from place to place to place,” Lemieux said, omicron “seems to be happening in every place at once.”
Lemieux said he is particularly worried because the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 has already killed more than 5.3 million people around the world, including 800,000 in the United States.
Although the variant was identified only the day before Thanksgiving, as more data emerges it is confirming omicron’s ability to spread incredibly fast – probably twice as fast as the delta variant, which has dominated the global pandemic since this summer. 

THE OMICRON VARIANT IS FUELING MISINFORMATION ABOUT COVID: Experts explain why and how to spot false claims.
Even if omicron is less dangerous, it will still cause a huge number of infections and, therefore, a large number of hospitalizations and deaths, Lemieux said.
Plus, the U.S. was already seeing a growing number of infections, largely with the delta variant. An average of 118,000 new infections a day were reported over the past week – a 37% increase over the previous week. 
“Our hospitals are already filling up. Staff are fatigued,” Lemieux said. “We’re almost two years into the pandemic, and there may be limits on capacity to handle the kinds of the caseloads that we see from an omicron wave superimposed on top of the delta surge.”
Cases of omicron have been skyrocketing in South Africa since the variant was first identified last month. Omicron already accounts for as many cases as when delta reached its peak there, about two months after arriving.

Early data from South Africa’s largest private health insurer, Discovery Health, suggests vaccines and prior infections are less protective against omicron than they have been with earlier variants, though they may still prevent severe disease. 
Hospitalization rates are still lower with omicron than with earlier waves and patients are less likely to require ventilation, though it’s not clear whether that’s because of the newness of the variant, because it is less dangerous, or because prior infections and vaccinations provide protection, MacInnis and the others said. About 16% of South Africans hospitalized with COVID-19 have been vaccinated.

For these reasons, the scientists on the Tuesday call said they were reconsidering gathering for Christmas. “It’s time to step back and reevaluate,” said Dr. Amy Barczak, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “My family has changed our plans so that we are no longer going to be getting together with particularly vulnerable members of the family over the holidays the way we had been planning to do.”
People who have been the most vulnerable throughout the pandemic – senior citizens, those who are immune-compromised and people who have other health conditions like diabetes – will remain most vulnerable to omicron, she said. 
Asked if rapid home tests before gatherings could mitigate some of the risk, MacInnis said it was “tricky” because it’s not yet known how sensitive the tests are for the omicron variant.
‘JUST A MATTER OF TIME’: How scientists in San Francisco found the first case of the omicron COVID-19 variant in the US
Lemieux said that if a group is definitely getting together, at-home rapid tests could be useful as a risk-mitigation strategy, but he urged caution. 
“I think it’s time to reevaluate whether a gathering is necessary and big gatherings are necessary,” he said.

If people do go ahead with a gathering, they should “do everything you can to conduct it as safely as possible,” Lemieux said, which means staying outdoors as much as possible, ventilating indoor spaces by opening windows and masking when indoors. 
Flying, Luban and others said, remains relatively safe because of masking, vaccination requirements and good air filtration. Travel restrictions don’t work, the experts on the call said, because the virus has already spread across the globe. 
They also all supported the idea of booster shots, which seemingly can restore protection that may have faded with time. The fact that fewer people are dying in South Africa from omicron than earlier variants suggests that vaccines, though they aren’t preventing all infections, may be stopping the most severe cases. 

The rise of omicron, MacInnis said, “does not mean our vaccines are failing us.” Contact Elizabeth Weise at eweise@usatoday.com and Karen Weintraub at kweintraub@usatoday.com.

What is Mother nature?

For those who don’t realize it, although Biden has plans of ‘Build Back Better’ he isn’t really the one in charge, Nor are those controlling him behind the scenes. Our God is in charge, and it appears his plan may well be disciplining our Nation, because he has other plans. … “plans for good and not for disaster” to give us a better future and a better hope.

So, trust in the Lord’s plans for America, knowing that no matter what happens,

He will bring good out of the situation. ☃

Materialist culture tells us that Nature is nothing more than a series of mechanisms and laws produced by chance, devoid of consciousness.

But this approach makes no sense: in our daily lives we can easily observe
how doing something that we can deem “intelligent” requires “someone’s” commitment. The more intelligent and loving one is, the more the product of their creativity will be useful and intelligent. This never happens by chance, without “someone” putting intelligence, attention, thought, love and will into it. These are all qualities attributable to consciousness.

Why is it so easy in our culture to attribute a consciousness of some kind to
all beings – be they humans, animals or even plants – yet deny it to Mother Nature, when it’s so evident that Nature is a great creative consciousness?
Because otherwise we would have to say that Mother Nature is a God, or a Goddess.
And our materialistic culture refuses to even consider this possibility.
From the observation of our social and personal life, we can, however,
derive a universal law:

Each level of consciousness corresponds to a level of creativity. Growing states of consciousness correspond to a greater and more mature level of creativity. So, the product of creativity always and expresses the level of consciousness of the author, with great precision.

Let’s consider a tree, a mountain, a butterfly, the sea, an ecosystem: how beautiful, wonderfully perfect, functional, wise and loving is Nature?
Obviously as much as its creator… And how intelligent, wise, artistic, capable, loving is this creative consciousness?
Certainly, to a degree that we could simply call divine. If only our thoughts were free from the strings of our barbaric non-culture…
If we come to the conclusion that Nature is a conscious intelligence, we can open ourselves up to the idea that it actually may be speaking to us in a constant and intelligent dialogue which, as its children, we can participate in.
When we view everything as the result of chance – Nature included – we are alone, at the mercy of a blind fate and a stupid nature which appears indifferent to its creatures.
If, on the other hand, the events and creatures that surround us are not random, it means that someone thinks of them, follows them and organizes them constantly.
And when we consider that we don’t have conscious control of our neurons, our tendons, our organs and our muscles, we can surmise that “someone” might be doing it for us…Is our opinionated science capable of organizing Earth’s ecosystems and creatures? 

We’re not even capable of creating a blade of grass, never mind a sunset.
So who is it that constantly creates, organizes and follows Nature’s beings? We really should finally decide to actively look for those talented organizers of this beautiful, non-random world. Perhaps they are just waiting for us to make that first step in initiating a conversation. And they will certainly have much to tell us…
Could it be that the concept of an “intelligent nature” born out of randomness was created and spread on purpose to prevent this dialogue, knowing that this dialogue would free us from conditioning and help our consciousness grow?
There’s one way in which we can find this out: let’s try to initiate a loving internal conversation with Nature’s Beings today, by our own free will, and observe which intuitions may surface from it.
“People often have a romantic idea of the forest, but if you sit under a tree, every insect within a ten-meter radius will make a beeline for you. It’s not romantic. It is, however, transformative. To feel its pulse, its rhythm, its life.
Learn its ways, its regenerative power, its creative prowess. When we look at trees, we think of them as trucks, branches, and leaves. We forget that under the ground there is a vast and complex system of intertwined roots that is as large and fascinating as the system above the soil. It is through this underground system that the trees talk to each other, warn each other of danger, help the sick trees, support the elderly ones, and generally have an elaborate and purposeful way of communicating with the whole ecological community.”  ― Donna Goddard, Prana

“The world has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhiji had said these immortal words that are so true now than at any other time. Mother Nature has given us resources that are sufficient for everyone but not enough for everybody’s greed.

Some people, because of their greed, are trying to keep a lot more than what is required for themselves. This is creating socio-economic disparities. Most importantly, Gandhi’s philosophy was about creating a better world. We have a choice to lead a simple life, but one that is truly ‘rich’ in meaning.” ― Avijeet Das

32 Beautiful Quotes About Saving Mother Nature and Earth
Updated: June 13, 2021 / Home » Quotes [ Lesson for Life]

Some say the planet is sick and humans are the virus, it is undeniably we as a species have destroyed this beautiful planet at an alarming rate. Putting aside global warming and climate change, no species is as greedy as the human race, we take more than we need and leave a trail of destruction.


😭 😍 😂 Save Mother Nature – Together we can challenge the threats to nature and help ensure its ability to provide—for the sake of every living thing, including ourselves.

There is a saying, everybody wants to change the world, but nobody is
ready to change themselves for the world. Perhaps it is time for us to reflect on ourselves and ask, what have I done for mother nature? Do you really need to use that much plastic bag? Will you walk to the nearby shop instead of driving? It is all the little things that matter, and if everyone contributed indirectly, the planet will be a beautiful place to live in – less resources needed, less destruction and better environment. Some of the illustrations are sketches by Alfred Basha, check out his Instagram.

How is it possible that the most intellectual creature to ever walk the planet Earth is destroying its only home? – Jane Goodall
Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better. – Albert Einstein
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. – William Shakespeare
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. – Lao Tzu
You will find something more in the woods than in books. Trees and stones
will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. – St. Bernard
Nature is man’s teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illuminates his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence. – Alfred Billings Street

In the trees, in the breeze, seek nature’s peace and bliss.
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love, and then we return home. – Australian Aboriginal
Humans are the only creatures in this world, who cut the trees, make paper from it and then write, Save Trees on it.

If all insects and arthropods on Earth suddenly died, within 50 years all life
on Earth would perish. If all humans on Earth suddenly died, within 50 years,
all life would flourish.

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understanding and our hearts.

We never noticed the beauty of nature because we were too busy trying to recreate it.

When it comes to global warming, everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to change himself.

If the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.

It’s the air we breathe and the atmosphere that makes Earth livable – and it’s under threat from humanity.

This planet is our one and only home. We have no other choice – we must care for it.

When the blood in your veins returns to the sea, and the earth in your bones returns to the ground, perhaps then you will remember that this land does not belong to you, it is you who belong to this land.

Earth was created for all of us, not some of us.
If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.

The world is not to be put in order. The world is order, incarnate. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order. – Henry Miller

Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.

It’s very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature. – Albert Hofmann

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and slaughters a visible Nature without realizing that this Nature the slaughters is this invisible God he worships. – Hubert Reeves

Life in the world is one, it is, Mother Earth And we all the world should live according to the laws of mother nature, so we can get rid of all disease, suffering, and destruction. From mining salt, coal, ore, oil gas and so on: the Glaciers are melting, and the climate is changing at a rapid pace. Environmental pollution and the worst environmental disasters in the world are caused by man. We are a child of Nature, and we depend on Mother Earth, it is better to start taking care of mother Nature. Global industrialization and urbanization have led to global climate change for the worst in the world.
To recover and permanently terminate mining of soil, gravel, sand, stone,
salt, coal. ore, oil, gas and more. So, we can prevent global environmental catastrophe. Between us and other animals and plants, there is no difference – we are all children of the Earth, and we are all one family. We all the world should live according to the laws of mother Nature and save Mother Earth from ecological disaster.

Also Called:
Nature Mother
The Force of Nature herself.

Properties:
As an archetype, the mother nature, personification/entity of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it in the form of the mother and associated with fertility, fecundity, and agricultural bounty. This powerful female archetype and force of nature can also cause devastatingly powerful natural disasters everywhere if angered or her emotions shifts beyond a peaceful state.
Unlike Mother Earth, mother nature is able to control the full spectrum
of nature. Nature Mothers are sometimes paired with Sky Fathers and
the Father of Time acting as their balancing counterparts.

However, Earth Fathers are not unheard of in mythos.

Our Extinct Cousins

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Ken
Our Extinct Cousins Reached ‘The Roof of The World’ a Long Time Before Homo Sapiens © Fei Yang/Moment/Getty Images

Sir Julian Huxley once admitted why many quickly embraced evolution with such fervor: “I suppose the reason we jumped at Origin of Species was that the concept of God interfered with our own sexual mores” (Henry Morris, The Troubled Waters of Evolution, San Diego, Creation-Life Publishers, 1974, p. 58).

He later wrote, “The sense of spiritual relief which comes from rejecting the idea of God as a superhuman being is enormous”.
(Essays of a Humanist, London, Penguin, 1966, p. 223). Could this have something to do with the immorality seen in so many schools and universities where God is banned from the classroom and evolutionary theory is taught as fact?

It’s Told By Many That Science Contradicts Religion, but in actually 2020 years ago. God gave humankind a human spirit. It is only in the light of God, and that of his beloved Son Jesus, it is possible to recognize the truth about ourselves. Who we are before God, and what are we?
By ourselves, we are nothing. All that we are and all we have is the gift of God’s infinite goodness. Recognize that we have absolutely everything to God who has given us everything and gives us everything for free is always the foundation of humility. This is what St. Paul writes to the Corinthians:
“What have you that you did not receive?

And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
“The pride is rooted in ingratitude, which itself presupposes a loss of awareness of what we really are, the forgetfulness of our condition as creatures. Recognition, which is based on a keen awareness of the gratuitousness of God’s infinite love for us, feeds that we should be the first and most constant of all our thoughts, the first and most constant of all our feelings of adoration. For worship is to recognize God for what he is: the sovereign Lord and absolute master of all things.

Worship brings us to our true place before God, that of a being created by his infinite goodness in his image and likeness, and radically dependent on him at all times, and can also find perfection that remains in submission to his will. Worship in spirit and in truth is expressed in a permanent provision of loving obedience towards God. Pride, based on ingratitude to God, instead of worshiping the mistake, that is to say, despise his holy will, and cast the soul into disobeying him.

If it wasn’t for an extinct relative of modern humans known as the Denisovans,
some researchers suspect our own species might never have made their home on the highest and largest plateau in the world.

All disease comes from the gut.
The Tibetan Plateau, sometimes called the Himalayan Plateau, is nicknamed ‘the roof of the world’ because it sits on average, 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) above sea level.
This vast sweep of elevated land, which cuts through Mongolia, China, and Russia, is usually considered one of the last places that Homo sapiens settled permanently. Studies suggest there have been periods of occupation by various ancestors taking place over the past 160,000 years, but gaps in the record are hard to interpret.

Have there always been people up on the roof of the world, or is each period a resettlement by a new community?
A geneticist and an archeologist have now suggested another timeline that works just as well with the limited evidence we have on hand.
The researchers incorporated both archeological and genetic evidence to develop two, contrasting models of occupation: one continuous and one divided up over time. Crucially, the two models can be tested, potentially telling us one day how far back modern populations stretch.

In the discontinuous model, humans visited on and off for tens of thousands of years, until finally staying put around 9,000 years ago.
Alternatively, current evidence could also support permanent colonization that began on the plateau between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago. If so, the long genetic lineage might have passed on some helpful tricks for living up where the air is thin.

According to recent DNA analyses, a single crossbreeding event between Denisovans and H. sapiens in East Asia, no sooner than 46,000 years ago, might have infused our species with the genes they needed to make
their home in such a low oxygen environment.
“Although we don’t know if [Denisovans] were adapted to the high altitude,
the transmission of some of their genes to us [could] be the game changer thousands of years later for our species to get adapted to hypoxia,” says anthropologist Nicolas Zwyns from the University of California, Davis.

“That to me is a fantastic story.”

Whether that’s a true story, however, is not yet clear.
Archeological evidence on its own suggests Denisovans first appeared on the Tibetan plateau about 160,000 years ago. But it’s still not known whether these early humans made their home here all year round or just visited on occasion.
The same is true of our own species. The first archeological evidence of H. sapiens on the plateau reaches back 40,000 years, but continuous occupation may not have occurred here until after the last glacial period roughly 11,000 years ago.
Given significant patches in the archeological timeline, the truth will likely only be figured out if we incorporate genetic data, too.

Today, most modern Tibetans have DNA containing a special variation in the Endothelial Pas1 (EPAS1) gene, which helps humans withstand the lack of oxygen found at high altitudes by increasing oxygen transport in the blood.
In 2010, a Denisovan finger bone found in the mountains north of the Tibetan plateau showed a comparable genetic quirk. So, did Denisovans living on the plateau have a similar haplotype?

The short answer is: Maybe. We just don’t have enough Denisovan remains to confirm.

According to the authors of the current paper, recent genetic research has shown all East Asians, including Tibetans, hold the same patterns of Denisovan DNA.
This suggests genes across the region were derived from the same interbreeding event, which was specific to East Asians, and probably occurred between 46,000 and 48,000 years ago.
Only after this intermixing did H. sapiens make it to the top of the world, possibly as a result of the genes they acquired from Denisovans in the lowlands.
But how long would it have taken for those high-altitude genes to be positively selected for in the East Asian population?

Research on the EPAS1 gene haplotype in modern Tibetans suggests the quirk was positively selected for anytime between 2,800 years ago and 18,300 years ago.
But the genetic divergence of modern Tibetans and Han Chinese seems to have occurred 30,000 years ago, which might indicate earlier selectivity.
Until we know more, the authors of the current paper argue we shouldn’t rule out the possibility that H. sapiens permanently lived on the Tibetan Plateau as far back as 40,000 years ago.
“Currently the low-resolution data does not allow a complete validation/rejection of either hypothesis,” the authors write.
“However, the models could establish an interpretative framework with clearly archeological and genetic predictions for further studies.”

The study was published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution.

What Does the Bible Say About Cure for All Diseases? (openbible.info)
Being alone to feel and process your feelings until you feel like you again that’s self-care.
Sometimes being alone is all that is needed for your mind to actually get some “breathing space”.  “It’s beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti  

This allows you to sort through your thoughts in a more effective way – allowing a clearer perspective of your core .   To disappear and stay private to become a stronger version of yourself is self-care.  The time you spend understanding yourself is not wasted time.
Alone time is when you build ideas. Value your alone time and use it for the right thing.  
Take time out and ask yourself how are you doing!? Before you text or ask anyone else!
“Sometimes, you just need a break. In a beautiful place. Alone. To figure everything out.” 
 Sort out your mind, what problems it is facing, if it could be solved, do it or otherwise let go of it, you have a life to live.

When you are with others, Intrusive thoughts and relationship anxiety are constantly on my mind. Sometimes it’s needed to be alone to find yourself, the real self who hadn’t been seen between others. I am doing that today,

I never realized this is “self-care”…. interesting to know Thinking face

So true and something I learned way late.

That’s sometimes something we need to do.

Sometimes when you lose your way, you find YOURSELF. Face with rolling eyesHundred points symbol


Being alone is way different than being lonely.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. image.png image.png

On the surface, processing your feelings seems simple enough: Identify and label the feelings that are brewing, give yourself the time and space to feel how you feel without judgment, then decide how you’re going to handle your feelings — by deciding…. how you’ll resolve the problem if you have control over it, or how you’ll better cope with it going forward if you don’t.

Isolating yourself and being alone with yourself for a while is self-care, wisdom, and a vital way to revive and reinvigorate your soul.   Helping to Use the Mind to Be Who You ‘Should’ Be | Disciplined Life | Philosophy Thoughts | Psychology Hacks | Personal Freedom…

All disease comes from the soul – Bing video
Diseases of the Soul (quies.org)
Disease of the soul, we all have it.
Posted by Alex Fulford at 14:50 

Disease of the soul (Wetico) affects and affects everyone on this planet. That is why I keep saying be careful of the thoughts that you hold. This infection was inserted into Homo Sapiens Sapiens from their creation and allowed to spread through the species. It is like a computer program/ virus, that has been inserted into our psyche. Evil, that is the name of the disease. If you know about Archons, then you will understand what I am talking about.

The Archons and other dark and evil beings need this evil to feed from on an energy level. We are their food while here on earth and it is not in our best interest to incarnate over and over, and it certainly was not the original intention for energetic beings (us).

This grip over humanity cannot be stopped, we have become like spiritual lepers and all by grand design and from the research that I have done over the years, it is not just happening on this planet. No, it is spread throughout the universe to many star races that are on the same frequency as us. This disease of the soul stops humanity waking up and taking back their rightful spiritual power and moving out of the matrix (outside of this reality we think is the universe).

We are descending deeper into darkness and the vibrational frequency is dropping fast.
That is why it is vital to practice spiritual cleansing immediately, and the first step is by refusing to do evil i.e.: lie, cheat, steal, kill, sexual depravity and immoral behavior etc. We must avoid those that are toxic and not participate in knowingly wrong doings. A strong sense of self and a strong moral compass is needed to beat this evil, and not everyone has the strength to do this.

That thought that comes to a person telling them to do something they know is wrong, but they go and do it anyway. That is the disease/evil that consumes the soul and destroys the soul. Currently we are seeing it being played out every day around us and we say to our loved ones the world is going mad, it is insane. Yes, it is, and we must not participate in this insanity, or we are doomed.

The media, including the Internet and the entertainment industry are the main tools to further this disease of the soul. That is why I avoid as much of it as possible. Subliminal messaging is employed to get into your mind and soul, and one needs to be aware of it to be able to avoid it.

Fear is the big tool being used right now to make us angry and reactive. We must withdraw from that immediately. Take a look at the 20th century wars and suffering, we have learned nothing from all of that, so much so that we allow it to flow on to this very day.

We are back into fear, violence and anger, which stops the rational mind functioning and our spiritual side gets pushed aside by this infection of the soul and psyche. The next step is we are all flung into a world war yet again as the whole world is being manipulated on many fronts to divide people and get them hating each other. We have cultural issues all over the planet and we are witnessing the destruction of civilization as we know it.

Again, it is all by design and it again keeps our spiritual energy suppressed.
Look at the amount of child abuse and the abuse of animals that is going on at present, is horrific. I cannot bring myself to read this stuff. Every day the news has articles that are just too distressing to read.

Then there is the homeless, those with mental health problems being abused or neglected, soldiers and EMS workers being abused or shockingly high suicides that are all over the world at present because people do not want to be here anymore.

Sadly, most people do not know about the soul trap and go right back to square one and are brought right back here to suffer again! I won’t get into the stuff behind that because I feel many people reading this are not really ready for that shock.

Anger and fear are very important tools in this war against humanity and it works so well over the past millennia, again and again, humans reincarnate and keep repeating the programme, because they do not know that it is a controlled and artificial reality. Only now some people have worked it out but are ridiculed for knowing this fact.

After many people are dead from war, terrorism etc., and at this point in time many are becoming infertile, (not a coincidence BTW). Remember the Georgia guide stones?
Only a small population is needed after these steps are complete.
The next move is artificial intelligence and the hive or herd mind. Game over and the human race has lost. The urgency with rolling out 4G and now 5G is part of the enslavement of humanity.

Humans, being electromagnetic beings, this network is designed to interface with us biologically and energetically too. You will start seeing the hive or herd mind mentality being more and more obvious from now on. I have mentioned the nanoparticles that are in our bodies in other posts, they are there to work with the 4G and now 5G technology, so you can expect more crazy behavior and hive mind from this, not to mention cancer and other health problems. Yes, they will push for war as per the programmed agenda.

There will be a loss of empathy and compassion as human minds will be able to be reprogrammed and will only respond to their programming. How frightening is that, but even more scary is they are working on this right now, including patenting humanity.

That will come eventually with the madness that is taking place right now.
Human cloning is much more advanced than people know, so just add the hive mind and no soul for a moral compass to tell right from wrong and hey presto, brave new world, but take it to another level. Nano travel and inter-dimensional travel for warfare.

That is part of the new agenda for humanity’s future and is already being discussed in academic circles and the MIC.

Most of humanity has already lost the game, they are just unaware because they suppress their soul’s spirituality using their free will. Yet these people think a Saviour will come and save them. Err NO! We are our own saviors; each individual is his own savior.

It is a sad way to end the human race, it was always a bio-genetic experiment from the get-go, but many of us have evolved and we wish to move on from this evil control matrix. Will we be safe when we exit or will we be prevented from leaving, which violates free will?

The supposed rule is that when a soul graduate we can leave, but those setting the rules do not play fair. They are not honest and do not have our best intentions at heart.

One thing to remember is that a soul that is unclean or infected will not be allowed into the true spiritual universe or multiverse and we have no idea of what is out there, because we are only hearing from channeled information from within the control matrix. This information is corrupt and that is why I say do not participate in channeled material.
Listen to your heart and your soul.

Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one’s own expressed moral rules and principles. According to British political philosopher David Runciman, “Other kinds of hypocritical deception include claims to knowledge that one lacks, claims to a consistency that one cannot sustain, claims to a loyalty that one does not possess, claims to an identity that one does not hold”. American political journalist Michael Gerson says that political hypocrisy is “the conscious use of a mask to fool the public and gain political benefit”. disapproving: a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs.

The hypocrites who criticize other people for not voting but who don’t always vote themselves.

Full Definition of hypocrite…
1: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. We can learn a good deal about the manners and morals of the times from Lautrec, for he was neither a hypocrite nor a sentimentalist, and there is a matter of fact-ness about his vision … that precludes both nostalgia and prurience.
— Elizabeth Cowling, Times Literary Supplement, 8 Nov. 1991
Holding up high moral, ethical, and social standards is very difficult, because if one falls short of being a perfect example, one becomes a target and a hypocrite, albeit a well-meaning one. — Mark Masters et al., New Dimensions, June 1990Lionized by generations of nature enthusiasts, Thoreau has had plenty of detractors, too, deeming him a hypocrite for dining at the Emersons’ or having his mom take care of his wash.
— Christoph Irmscher, WSJ, 24 Sep. 2021.

Because Joe, as viewers know, is the world’s biggest hypocrite. — Samantha Highfill, EW.com, 14 Oct. 2021: a person who acts in a way that goes against what he or she claims to believe or feel.

Scientists Don’t Know

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Ken
Photograph by Jason Persoff Stormdoctor

Tornadoes require two main parts. The first being energy, which comes as warm, moist, unstable air from the Gulf of Mexico. The second is wind shear—a measure of how much the wind changes speed and direction between the ground and higher levels of the atmosphere. While climate change is increasing the energy in the atmosphere, it’s expected to reduce wind shear. 

It sounds intuitive: Of course, global warming should lead to more—and more powerful—tornadoes. We’re adding energy to the atmosphere by trapping heat with greenhouse gasses, and tornadoes are the very picture of terrifying atmospheric energy.

Linking any particular weather event to climate change is always tricky, because weather is inherently random. But weather patterns can speak to a warming planet. Scientists can detect that extreme rain events, for instance,
are already happening more often than they used to, and that a warmer atmosphere with more water vapor in it is making such events more likely.

Tornadoes are different. Global warming may well end up making them more frequent or intense, as our intuition would tell us. But it might also actually suppress them—the science just isn’t clear yet.

Neither is the historical record.
There is no real evidence that tornadoes are happening more often. A lot more are being recorded now than in 1950, but a closer look at the data shows the increase is only in the weakest category, EF0. There’s been no increase in stronger twisters, and maybe even a slight decrease in EF4s and EF5s.

That suggests we’re just spotting more of the weak and short-lived tornadoes than we did back when the country was emptier (the United States population in 1950 was less than half what it is now), we didn’t have Doppler radar, and Oklahoma highways weren’t jammed with storm-chasers.

There is also no evidence that tornadoes have gotten more damaging, according to a study by Roger Pielke, Jr., of the University of Colorado and his colleagues. Even so, when you allow for inflation and increases in population and wealth in the United States, 2011 becomes the third worst year for tornado damage, after 1953 and 1965.

When National Geographic magazine asked “What’s Up with the Weather” in a cover story last September, we put a tornado photo on the cover and six pages of twister pictures inside including a large shot of the swath of destruction that an EF4 tornado cut through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 2011, killing 64 people there and in Birmingham, Alabama.

But as writer Peter Miller made clear in that story, intuition is not a reliable guide to tornadoes.

Two Opposing Forces:
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. It is often referred to as a twister, whirlwind or cyclone, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology to name a weather system with a low-pressure area in the center around which, from an observer looking down toward the surface of the earth, winds blow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, and they are often visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour (180 km/h), are about 250 feet (80 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before dissipating. The most extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 300 miles per hour (480 km/h), are more than two miles (3 km) in diameter, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km).
Since we’re changing the climate, the historical record is no more certain a guide to the future than intuition is. So what does physics tell us about the future of tornadoes in a CO2-warmed world?

“It really comes down to two ingredients in the atmosphere, in the environment in which storms form,” says Jeff Trapp, an atmospheric
scientist at Purdue University.

Trapp was on the road in Kansas and Oklahoma in late-May 2013, launching weather balloons into supercells—large, tornado-producing thunderstorms—as part of an effort to improve forecasting. He was 32 or 48 kilometers (20 or 30 miles) away from Moore when the tornado hit on May 20, 2013.

The first ingredient needed to make a tornado, he explains, is energy in the form of warm, moist, unstable air. In Oklahoma, that comes on southerly winds off the Gulf of Mexico.

The second ingredient is wind shear—a measure of how much the wind changes speed and direction between the ground and higher levels of the atmosphere. “Essentially that’s determined by the strength of the jet stream,” which blows in from the west, Trapp says. Wind shear causes the warm, rising air inside a supercell to start rotating, a necessary condition for organizing the storm and allowing it to spawn funnel clouds.

And that gets at the nub of the question surrounding a potential nexus between warming and tornadoes: Although climate change is increasing the energy in the atmosphere, it’s also expected to reduce wind shear.

That’s because the jet stream is powered ultimately by the temperature difference between Earth’s hot tropics and its cold poles, and that difference is decreasing with climate change, as the poles warm faster than the rest of the planet. So the same phenomenon that is rapidly melting the Arctic ice cap and marooning polar bears could lead to a weaker jet stream and fewer tornadoes.

But will it?
Severe thunderstorms can happen even when wind shear is lower, Trapp says.
“Really it’s the product of the two ingredients that matters most,” he says.
The big question, which he and a small number of other climate scientists have been trying to answer with climate simulations, is what will happen to the product of energy times wind shear—to the two ingredients combined—as CO2 continues to warm the world.

“What we find in the models,” Trapp says, “is there’s actually an increase in the product. The decrease in wind shear is more than compensated [for] by the increase in energy. This tells us that the number of days that support severe thunderstorms generically should increase.”
Still, that’s just one study. And it says that the future environment should favor the storms that create tornadoes—but not necessarily tornadoes themselves. It’s possible that in the future, severe thunderstorms will tend to spend themselves in violent hail or in straight-line winds. Neither is a pleasant prospect, but neither packs the damage potential of tornadoes.

Trapp is now at work on a study that will combine a global climate model with a local, high-resolution model, which will show tornadoes as if on a virtual radar screen.
This new study may offer a glimpse of what the future has in store for Oklahoma and other parts of Tornado Alley. Meanwhile, he said one thing with certainty: “The last several days in Oklahoma, both the wind shear and the energy have been incredibly large.”

In the early hours of December 11, 2021, a whole series of violent tornadoes tore through Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee. This was very unusual for this time of year. Tornadoes usually hit in the spring. And they usually hit further west in the US. And they are usually not this destructive. Many wondered if this spate of tornadoes was a new phenomenon. Specifically, they wondered if these tornadoes were caused by climate change. Does global warming cause tornadoes?

Even though it seems like global warming must be behind these new tornadoes, it isn’t the right answer. The real answer is that scientists just don’t know if global warming is linked to more and fiercer tornadoes.

A tornado spins in a field outside of Bennington, Kansas on 28 May 2013. Does global warming cause tornadoes? The answer is that at this time, scientists just don't know.A tornado spins in a field outside of Bennington, Kansas on 28 May 2013.

Hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and pandemics are all becoming more prevalent as the world becomes warmer and are all clearly linked to global warming by a lot of solid evidence.

Tornadoes are different.
Climate scientists have not yet connected global warming definitively to tornadoes. It is definitely premature to say global warming causes tornadoes or even makes them more prevalent or more violent. The verdict on tornadoes is just not in yet.
We need to be accurate about what is happening to us. It makes the whole climate situation much worse to claim that climate change is behind every new disaster. We need to sort out what is actually happening from our fears of what may be happening.

The New York Times says scientists are not sure if climate is linked to tornadoes.
“Tornadoes are relatively small, short-lived weather events. And scientists are not yet able to determine whether there is a link between climate change and the frequency or strength of tornadoes, in part because they have a limited data record.
But researchers say that in recent years tornadoes seem to be occurring in greater “clusters,” and that a so-called tornado alley in the Great Plains — where most tornadoes occur — appears to be shifting eastward.
“This is what we would call a tornado outbreak, where you have a storm system which produces a number of tornadoes over a large geographical area,” Dan Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, said on Friday.

But such a large and powerful system in December is highly unusual, and something the region usually experiences in May or April.
“It’s certainly not unheard of,” he said of tornadoes this late in the year,
“but to have an outbreak of this magnitude, with this many tornado reports —
it’s a little unusual for this time of year.”
Temperatures in Arkansas and Kansas on Friday were “spring weather,”
Mr. Pydynowski said. Highs were in the 70s and 80s.
“It was unusually warm, and there was moisture in place,” he said, “and you had a strong cold front end. These are the ingredients for big storms in the spring, but not in mid-December.”

The Washington Post says a warming world could add more fuel to tornadoes.
While the link between global warming and disasters like wildfires and flooding are more definitive, experts say, warmer temperatures could intensify cool-season thunderstorms and tornadoes in the future.
In the wake of deadly storms that ravaged parts of the South and the Midwest this weekend, scientists had a warning: While the exact link between climate change and tornadoes remains uncertain, higher temperatures could add fuel to these violent disasters.
As rescuers searched Saturday amid the rubble of violent tornadoes that barreled through multiple states, killed scores of people, and leveled homes and businesses, climate scientists said people around the world needed to brace for more frequent and intense weather-driven catastrophes.

“A lot of people are waking up today and seeing this damage and saying, ‘Is this the new normal?’ ” said Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at Northern Illinois University, adding that key questions still remain when it comes to tornadoes because so many factors come into play. “It’ll be some time before we can say for certain what kind of role climate change played in an event like yesterday.”
Still, he said the warm December air mass in much of the country and La Niña conditions created ideal conditions for a turbulent event. Thunderstorms — the raw material for tornadoes — happen when there is warm, moist air close to the ground and cooler, drier air above, creating a path for humidity to travel upward.
In a warming world, Gensini said: “It’s absolutely fair to say that the atmospheric environments will be more supportive for cool-season tornado events.”
But Gensini and other climate and weather experts noted that tornadoes are among the most difficult events to link definitively to global warming, partly because they are relatively small and short-lived compared with the wildfires, heat waves and other climate disasters.

The Xenia, OH F5 Tornado – April 3, 1974 – Bing video

Here are 3 of the biggest tornadoes to come through Ohio:
April 11, 1965, was the second most dangerous single day for tornadoes in Ohio,
(The first happening in 1924).  A total of 11 tornadoes were reported in those 24 hours. These tornadoes tore through Shelby, Preble, Greene and Fairfield counties, just to name a few. Tornadoes reached F4 conditions, according to Fujita ratings, and killed 60 people in total.
Possibly one of the most powerful tornadoes to ever hit Ohio happened in Xenia in 1974. There was a reported F5 tornado touchdown.  A total of 32 people were killed from this storm, and most of the city was either damaged
or destroyed. >> PHOTOS: The 1974 Xenia tornado

The Montgomery/Blue Ash tornado tore through Ohio on April 9, 1999.
There were recorded F2/F3 damages left throughout the area.  More than 500 homes were damaged along with the death of four people and multiple injuries.

Amazing Comebacks: The Time Tom Brady Upset #5 Alabama.
In the 2000 Orange Bowl the #8 Michigan Wolverines took on the #5 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide jumped out on top early, with Shaun Alexander scoring twice. This wasn’t too much for Brady though. In the second half he would later on tie it up at 28. On the first play of overtime, he would throw a touchdown, followed by a critical extra point. Alabama would score on their drive but then missed the point after. Michigan would win the game 35-34, Brady finished
34-36 for 369 yards and four touchdowns.

Energy & Effort

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Ken
Doctors-neurologists often say: “A person is his nervous system, everything else is secondary.”

 by Dr Irina Webster | Apr 7, 2017 | Emotional Healing, Medical Intuition.
Common people say: “All diseases are from stress, only syphilis is from pleasure!”
Of course, there are many disputes on this subject, but the scientifically proven fact remains: the more stress in a person’s life, the more often they get sick.  Moreover, most health problems have psychosomatic roots. From the Greek psyche – “soul” and soma – “body”: means – “soul-body” suffering. When emotions can’t find an outlet, they go inside the body and stay there, creating diseases.
Where Your Soul Hides Its Suffering: 7 Most Popular Psychosomatic Illnesses. | Dr Irina Webster

1.Internal conflict. 
This is a situation where the mind is fighting the heart, or the logical mind is fighting subconscious desires. This kind of struggle creates a “guerrilla war” inside the person. The results of this war are psychosomatic symptoms.
2. Body language.
The body physically reflects a state that could be expressed in phrases:
“This is such a headache!”, “I can’t digest it!”,” He’s a pain in the butt”, “My hands are tied!”, “You are giving me a heart attack!” …These are programming messages that eventually will turn into symptoms if repeated continuously.
3. Conditional benefits of an illness.
This category includes health problems, which bring a certain conditional benefit to their owner. This is not a simulation, but a really diagnosed disease. Perhaps a person really wants to have the benefits which he will get only by getting sick. For example, claiming money from government, insurance claims, manipulating family members to get more attention, or other benefits. The mind is very powerful, and can manifest disease in a person, just the same as a placebo can manifest health.
4. Past experiences.
The cause of an illness can also be past traumatic experiences, more often it is a traumatic childhood and/or traumatic relationships. The condition here is that the sick person is holding on to the past and unwilling to forgive and let it go.
5. Identification
In this case, a physical symptom can be formed due to a strong emotional attachment to a person who has a similar disease. Often there is a fear of losing this person or the loss has happened.
6. Autosuggestion.
A person believes in the presence of the disease, even if the disease does not exist.
The person always tries to find evidence for this illness, making false programming to his subconscious mind. Therefore, the disease will eventually materialize.
7. Self-punishment.
This punishment is associated with guilt (real or imaginary) that is tormenting a person.
Self-punishment facilitates the experience of guilt, as if redeeming it.
To conclude: This article is more than just interesting. It is amazing. I have often said ‘well, looking at my childhood, l am not surprised at my illnesses’, so this is eye opening. I was ill with unexplained illnesses, homeopath fixed as we went along. I counted 50 illnesses in 5 years, suddenly for no apparent reason those numbers shot up, over the past 12 months the illnesses have more than doubled, conservative estimation. 

The thing is how can that be addressed by the person?
These are real illnesses, not just colds and flu. My immune system is in shreds. I take on board your ideas that we make illness eventually too, but this spate of illnesses came on after an accident. Depression is another area that attaches itself to longstanding illness and that is where l am at now.
I have serious pain down my spine radiating down my left arm, shoulder under left breast. Cannot sleep properly, affecting my concentration memory, so good to find such clear explanations of each aspect of the common illnesses. And it really does come down to nurturing our heart and soul…when we feel loved and accepted, and we follow the path that brings us joy and purpose – there is no room for any of these ailments.   You have given me something more to think about with regard to these last 6 years, Thanks Dr Irini.

Research has proved that most, if not all illnesses have psychosomatic roots. Therefore, to heal an illness we must look at the real cause of it, and not just mask the symptoms with drugs or surgeries. Our biography becomes our biology.
We need to learn to identify emotional patterns in the body that lead to disease that creates problems in people’s lives. This ability is called Medical Intuition. The process of healing specific emotional patterns that become the root cause of an illness is called Intuitive Healing.

The Secret Energy of Your Body

An Intuitive Guide to Healing, Health and Wellness.
Emotional Patterns create illnesses, pains and aches. Every organ is affected by specific emotional patterns. This is proven by science. In this book Dr Irina Webster reveals that Energy is the root of Body and Mind. We all consist of and are surrounded by an energy field.
When energy flows through the body properly, you are in a state of health. When there is an energetic disturbance in the body, a disease state is created. Illnesses manifest in the body’s energy field before they manifest in the physical body. And healing occurs in the energy field before it becomes apparent in the physical body. So, how can we heal ourselves and our life?

You’ll get the answers reading “The Secret Energy of Your Body” …
Dr Irina Webster is a medical doctor, healer and an intuitive. Since 1994 when she was a junior doctor in Russia, she became interested in Immunology (immune system field). Back then she started collecting scientific data on how emotions affect organs and create symptoms. This book shows information from her original research about how emotional patterns create symptoms and illness. She brought this knowledge to Australia and elaborated it when working as a doctor and then as a healer.   
                                                        
The Secret of Energy Flow
Published on September 6, 2012, by Sifu Anthony Korahais


Have you heard of a secret Qigong skill called Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow ( 搖風擺柳, or Yao Feng Bai Liu)?

At the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Vanderbilt,
they focus on your whole health: body, mind and spirit for their cancer patients and more.
They offer scientifically proven complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, QIGONG and yoga, to work alongside your conventional medical care. More than treating symptoms, this integrative medicine empowers you to take an active part in your healing and wellness so you can enjoy a better quality of life.

Probably not. That’s why they call it a secret!
Unfortunately, even people who’ve been practicing Qigong and Tai Chi for years don’t know this secret skill.
And that’s a shame because it’s one of the most amazing skills that you can learn.
It dramatically changes lives, and it’s one of the main reasons that my students get such awesome results.
For over a decade, I’ve openly shared this secret in every beginner’s class and
workshop that I’ve taught.

Today, I teach it in my flagship online program, called:
Qigong 101: The Art of Self-Healing for Busy People (flowingzen.com)
But despite my best efforts, this skill is still little known and poorly understood.

There Is No Form:
For centuries, Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow was kept a well-guarded secret. Although the skill is mentioned in several Qigong classics, its form was never described. And there’s a good reason for this: There is no form!

So then what is this secret skill? The name of the skill,
Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow, does a great job of poetically describing the experience.
Learning this skill is a process. After learning and practicing special techniques in a highly specific way, what you’ll feel is your body swaying gently, almost as if you are losing your balance. You might even feel like you’re a willow tree swaying gently in the breeze!

But you’re not losing your balance. What’s happening with this skill is that your vital energy, your qi, is starting to flow!
The physical form changes from person to person because everyone’s energy flows slightly differently. So, you can’t really describe the form. I believe this is one reason why the classics never described the form of the skill.
Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow is a skill, not a technique. Later, once you’re skillful, you can use different techniques to induce the energy flow of Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow.  In my school, students first learn to do it with Lifting the Sky.  Once they get the hang of this, they can do it with other techniques, like Sinew Metamorphosis, or even a Tai Chi form.

Let it Flow

Qigong is a branch of Chinese medicine, like acupuncture & herbal medicine. 

 From the Chinese medical perspective, all illness is ultimately due to a disharmony of yin and yang. This disharmony can manifest in countless ways, like depression, cancer, hypertension, etc.  An acupuncturist must be a master diagnostician (like my wife) in order to pin down the exact type of disharmony, and then manipulate the Qi in a way that will restore the harmony.

With Qigong, we don’t need a diagnosis, and we don’t need to prescribe specific techniques. Why? Because Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow will do the trick. The body is intelligent, and it will naturally guide the energy wherever it needs to go, just like it will naturally heal a cut.

We don’t have to do anything except get the energy flowing, and then allow it to flow. Actually, if you try to do something with the energy, you’re likely to get yourself into trouble.

Here’s why.
Imagine that you’ve got a torn ligament in your knee.
It would seem logical to direct the energy to your knee.
And it is logical. But it’s not Chinese medicine.

According to Chinese medical theory, the Liver Meridian nourishes the ligaments.
So, your knee problem isn’t just in your knee; it’s also in your Liver Meridian.
This explains why acupuncturists don’t just insert needles in the problem area (at least the good ones don’t). 
For example, to fix your knee problem, a skillful acupuncturist (did I mention that my wife is amazing?) may put needles in your foot.
Directing energy to your knee won’t solve the problem. Actually, directing energy to your Liver Meridian may not solve the problem either.
That’s the beauty of Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow — once we have the skill, all we need to do is trust in the body’s wisdom to heal itself.
(You’ll also need to practice!)

The Five Animal Play:
The Five Animal Play (五禽戲, Wu Qin Xi) is another secret technique that is similar to Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow. It is an ancient technique invented by the famous Chinese doctor, Hua Tuo in the 2nd Century AD.
Note that my version of the Five Animal Play is different from the way it is often taught.
I don’t teach it as a series of 5 qigong exercises. Instead, I teach it as an internal skill, similar to Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow.
Only after practicing Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow for a while should, you make the transition to the Five Animal Play.
Using special techniques and skills, intermediate students are able to induce an energy flow that is more vigorous than Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow.

At this stage, interesting things can happen during the exercises. Instead of just swaying gently like a willow tree, some students will have an emotional release and start crying.
Other students will start coughing as the energy works on the lungs.
Some students will even roll around on the ground in what I jokingly call “spontaneous chiropractic”.
To the uninitiated, a class doing the Five Animal Play would look comical at best, and insane at worst. For someone with no understanding of Qigong, it would be logical for them to be confused. Why are all these people doing different things — crying, laughing, rolling on the ground, etc.?
But for someone who has learned Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow, the Five Animal Play should not be confusing at all. Still, it’s helpful to understand the theory behind the technique.



Clearing Energy Blockages.
Why do students cry or make sounds in the Five Animal Play? Because they are releasing energy blockages.
In Chinese medical theory, there are Five Elements (五行, wu xing):  Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood.  It’s important to understand that these are symbols.  They are nothing like the elements on the periodic table.


Each of the Five Elements is associated with an Organ System (or meridian). 

Furthermore, each Organ is associated with an emotion:
You don’t need to memorize these associations (unless you’re studying acupuncture!).
What you need to understand is that stuck emotions affect the meridians, which affect the organs, which affect your health.
So in restoring health, we need to clear the emotional blockages that clog up the organ systems.
According to Chinese medicine, and I’m paraphrasing here, the only bad emotion is a stuck emotion.
In other words, emotions need to be balanced. And they can get unbalanced in either direction — too much, or too little. We all know what too much anger looks like, but what about too little anger? Is there such a thing?

Of course, there is.
Haven’t you ever known someone who was in a terrible life situation, but to your great frustration, wouldn’t do anything about it?
An abused wife is an extreme example. In her case, she needs more anger, not less. She needs to balance her anger energy so that it flows. When it does, she’ll use the energy to make changes in her life.

Venting Stress & Negative Energy:
When you start to practice Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow, you harmonize your emotional energy.  Eventually, there will be enough momentum for the energy to clear the blockages. And when this happens, the blockage will usually clear through the mouth.
The mouth is the most important organ for clearing blockages like this. On its way out of the body, negative energy wants to leave via the mouth, and it often likes to make a sound on the way out.
Think about how you express emotions. Don’t most of your emotions express themselves through your mouth? When you are angry, you yell. When you are sad, you cry. When you are happy, you giggle and laugh. This is what happens when emotions flow smoothly.
As I mentioned, some schools teach Five Animal Play as a series of five exercises: the Tiger exercise, the Bear exercise, the Deer, the Bird, and the Monkey. They do exercises similar to how we do exercises Lifting the Sky.

Afterward, they do not do Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow.
To me, this is backwards.
Some people believe that Hua Tuo invented the Five Animal Play by observing the movements of these five animals and then formalizing them into Qigong patterns.
But I believe that Hua Tuo’s Five Animal Play was similar to Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow. I believe that he was symbolically describing the different ways that the energy can flow.

Why the five different animals?
Because energy from the various organs manifests differently: Heart energy resembles movements like a bird, Liver energy like a deer, Spleen energy like a monkey, Lung energy like a tiger, and Kidney energy like a bear.
The Five Animals of Hua Tuo were descriptions of spontaneous energy flow, just like the description Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow.

Can You Pass the Zen Test?
Your first time in a Five Animal Play class might be a bit of a shock. If you are used to students flowing gently and quietly in Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow, then it can be unsettling hearing students yawn, cry, cough, sigh, or even giggle during the Five Animal Play.
This is a Zen test. Can you relax, can you focus, despite all the noise?
Yes, you can.  All of my students go through this phase. After a few weeks, you’ll no longer be distracted by the sounds. More importantly, your own energy flow will improve as a result.
As long as you understand that people are clearing deep-rooted blockages that, in many cases, can be life-threatening, you shouldn’t be confused.
Newer students may not flow as vigorously, and that’s fine. You are allowed to flow gently and quietly. But if you suddenly start to feel a yawn coming on, or the urge to cry, then let it happen.  Don’t resist it (unless you want to keep your blockages).

Energy Flow Saves Lives.
The Five Animal Play saves lives. It is critical for people to be able to release their negative energy. The difference between Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow and Five Animal Play can literally be the difference between life and death. For those with serious illnesses, it is important that they practice the Five Animal Play. Remember that, according to Chinese medical theory, all pain, all disease, all illness — all of it has an emotional component.
When it comes to clearing emotional blockages, there is nothing better than letting the energy flow with techniques like Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow and the Five Animal Play.  If you are serious about healing yourself, if you want to make huge changes in your life like I have and my students have, then you owe it to yourself to learn and practice these amazing skills.
Note that I now teach both Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow and the Five Animal Play in my online program called Qigong 101: The Art of Healing for Busy People.

Overcoming Adversity

Posted on December 10, 2021 by Ken
Grammy-nominated musician Jewel shared how she’s prioritizing her mental health and how she’s helping others — including kids — do the same. Jewel On Her New Interactive Website “Never Broken” And Paperback Book| BUILD Series – Bing video

Singer-songwriter Jewel Kilcher Born May 23, 1974 (age 47) · Payson, UT.,
is best known for ballads such as “You Were Meant for Me” and “Who Will Save Your Soul,” but lately she’s been focused on promoting mindfulness 
and sharing her mental health story.
Late last year she launched Never Broken, a site dedicated to “emotional fitness” through online tools. And, on an episode of Dan Harris’ podcast “10% Happier,” the 42-year-old Alaska native explained how she used the practice to take control after ending up homeless and plagued by panic attacks at age 18.

Watch Jewel’s full interview with Dan Harris on “10% Happier” below.
‘10% Happier’ with Jewel, singer-songwriter, actress (yahoo.com)

“The word mindfulness wasn’t even around back then, but I went back to this idea of how I can rewire my brain,” she says on the podcast. “I remembered this quote by Buddha: ‘Happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have, it depends on what you think.’ I had the distinct pleasure of only having what I thought left. I had no family, no house, no food—nothing to distract me, if you will.”

Looking through her journals, Jewel realized she’d been addicted to negative thinking and knew she needed to make a change. To do so, she created her own series of meditations to help her be more mindful every day and also to aid her in specific difficult moments. Her quick visualization to cope with panic attacks—which started plaguing her at age 16—is one such example:
“I learned to do this meditation where I imagined I was on a very stormy ocean. I’d imagine myself sinking through the ocean, allowing myself to relax, I would get calmer. I would notice the color of the ocean change. I’d notice the taste of salt on my lips. I’d notice the rays of sunlight coming in and the further I got down to the sandy floor, it got calm, it got tranquil by then, and I would look
up at the stormy surface and it was in the distance.”
Jewel’s panic attack visualization both distracts her and calms her down—
two keyways to ease up the discomfort of a panic attack. And it’s a perfect visualization to bookmark for the next time you’re feeling a panic attack.
It makes sense that meditation would help Jewel cope with her anxiety.
Meditation can actually change the way your brain works. Studies have
shown meditation amps up activity in the parts of the brain dedicated to focus, calmness, and
processing stress—and this makes it an effective treatment for mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Experts have previously told SELF that to see the results of meditation, it’s important to be consistent and ideally practice every day. 
Jewel says meditating helped her learn to observe her thoughts rather than let them run amok. “I would notice my anxiety, and I would force myself to…track the thought to see what the lie my brain was telling me, and I’d tell myself the truth,” she said. “For me, the truth was: I am capable of learning, and I will learn more today. That calmed my anxiety down and helped me rewire, and that started creating resilience and that started creating a tenacious attitude, which is a much better thing to get addicted to [than negative thinking].”

Jewel credits this practice with helping her find happiness after a tough childhood. The singer grew up in Alaska, surrounded by people who used “relationships, drugs, [and] alcohol to try to numb and medicate feelings.”
Her voice was her way out. At age 15, she got a vocal scholarship to a performing arts school in Michigan. But by age 18, she found herself homeless, shoplifting, and plagued by panic attacks. Determined not to become a “statistic”—”I was going to end up in jail or dead, in short order”—Jewel used mindfulness to take control of her mental health and life.
“You have to get rid of believing every single thought that comes into your head,” Jewel told Harris. “When I meditate, I just count [to 20]—one is an inhale, two is an exhale. The whole point is just to observe and be curious because that’s the state of mindfulness and of being present.”

It took Jewel a long time to create the toolbox of self-help techniques she uses today.
The singer-songwriter and Alaskan native left her abusive childhood home at 15 and eventually graduated from Michigan’s Interlochen Center for the Arts. But at 18, she became homeless and lived with mental health conditions like debilitating panic attacks and agoraphobia (a fear of places or situations).
At times she was petrified to leave street corners, even for food.
Over time, she got help and developed coping techniques that helped her manage her mental health and get to the place where she is today: a Grammy-nominated musician, mother, author and actor. She relies on mindfulness, a practice where you stay grounded in the present moment through simple mental exercises. Research shows mindfulness can reduce anxiety and help benefit a person’s overall mental health. Jewel also relies on journaling as well as replacing negative self-talk with “antidote” thoughts to shift her mindset. 

She also has dedicated substantial time and effort to helping others prioritize their mental well-being. The artist has spoken out about her experiences in the media in an effort to help fans dealing with the same mental health struggles. She launched the Inspiring Children Foundation to help at-risk youth, and has worked with the education sector to implement mindfulness and emotional intelligence curriculums in schools. In recent months, she also shared her advocacy on social media by hosting virtual mental health discussions with famous friends like Brad Paisley during the coronavirus pandemic.  

HuffPost spoke to Jewel, 46, about how she transformed her life and
the coping methods she still uses for her mental health today. 

You realized you needed to protect yourself and moved out of home at 15, during which you said you also recognized the need to take care of your mental health. What prompted that at such a young age? 
I knew kids like me repeat the cycle they’re raised by and didn’t want to become a statistic. We learn an emotional language in our home. Let’s pretend it’s French – if you don’t like French, you have to learn a new language, or you’ll always speak French. With an emotional language, it’s not as easy. We don’t realize we’re learning an emotional language and there’s no school for relearning it, so I had my work cut out. 

How did you start?  
I started developing skills that were helpful, like watching people who had traits/behaviors I liked, writing them down, studying them and figuring out
if I could adopt them. 

You became homeless as a young adult after your boss fired you for refusing his sexual advances, all while simultaneously living with a mental illness. What did a really bad day look like during that period? 
It varied, but severe anxiety, panic attacks, really negative self-talk, isolation.
I didn’t have friends, community or family. I didn’t trust people. I became agoraphobic. 

You also became addicted to stealing. What was that time like? 
Every time I wanted to steal, I started becoming aware and observant of it —
which is mindfulness, but that word wasn’t around then. I’d write down my thoughts and also watch my hands and take notes on what they did.
I retrained myself out of stealing into writing. A neat side effect was that my anxiety went away. Everything I was learning, I started writing about and my song “Hands” is about that exercise with watching my hands. I started writing songs and got discovered. 

Massive success followed with your 1995 album, “Pieces of You.”
How did you ensure your wellness once things took off professionally? 
I promised myself to be a musician would be my No. 2 job and I took that very seriously. Music isn’t a healthy business, psychologically, yet we all want to be famous. Learning those [self-help] skills [remained a priority.] I just never thought the tools I developed would help me handle the amount of fame
I experienced and eventual heartbreaks I went through. 

And now they’ve helped so many others … 
I realized the skill sets I learned were teachable … So, I started a youth foundation about 18 years ago. We help people ― often those who have experienced several suicide attempts, severe anxiety and depression ―
and give them the mindfulness skills that helped me.
Last year, 99% of our kids earned college scholarships.

And on the Inspiring Children website, there are doable tools anyone can practice. The real trip is to see it all turned into a curriculum for public school children! 

Wow. What’s one of the exercises you encourage? 
Writing down the lie in your head is one of the exercises on the website.
When you’re really anxious, write down that negative self-talk on a piece of paper, then write the truth on the other side. The truth will [help] you once
you say it to yourself. 

How has that helped you through a difficult moment? 
I was on the first film I ever made and was really anxious. My friend was dying, I was in a high-anxiety state and had no idea what I was doing. I was not an actress and the lie that kept coming to me was, “I don’t know what I’m doing.” The antithesis is, “I know what I’m doing.” But that wasn’t the truth, so the trick is finding something that’s true. I played around with phrases until I came across, “I won’t quit until I learn,” which is very true about me. Once I said that, my whole body relaxed, so every time I started going into that negative self-talk loop, I would tell myself that and eventually started changing my neural wiring.  

Many people are struggling with mental health during the pandemic and there are concerns about increased agoraphobia, which you’re familiar with. What advice would you give people? 
The trick in helping people who might be developing habits that turn into agoraphobia, is to start asking yourself good questions. If you’re using your creativity to imagine the worst things possible, like “What if this happens?”
You scare yourself. Channel that creativity and curiosity into a healthier direction by asking, “What do I want out of this experience?” 

There’s two ways through this experience. One is introspection, death,
rebirth and wisdom. To introspect — question what thoughts, beliefs, actions, friendships or relationships you want to let go of. What no longer serves you in your life? That’s the death part. The rebirth is about what new thoughts and concepts you want to adopt. Maybe you always wanted to learn to meditate or switch jobs. Figure out a way to make those items actionable, so that when we leave quarantine, we can keep ourselves accountable and gain wisdom.

This can be an incredibly transformative time. 
The other path is suppression, fear, disempowerment and doubt. If you can’t let go of things, you hang onto them and fear. When you can’t adopt new ideas, you feel disempowered. And, when you can’t have wisdom, you doubt yourself. 

Prioritizing mental health right now isn’t simple for everyone. Specifically for the Black community, where people are experiencing high rates of anxiety and depression.
What would you say to those who are struggling and how do your mental health programs benefit people of color? 
We [as white people] need to support the Black community in every way we can. The Black community is more likely to experience PTSD, having the highest prevalence after natural disasters and also from social upheaval and stress related to events like the death of George Floyd and police brutality. Black people are also misdiagnosed with more severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia, making their distrust of the mental health care system a justifiable fear. In general, they are undertreated and underserved by the medical community and receive less care for mental health, often not having accessible resources. 

In my youth foundation, I work with many kids who come from traumatic backgrounds, the majority of whom are Black or kids of color. We encourage them to use the free tool kits [we provide], which have been [vetted] by a neuroscientist. There are also many Black-led, Black-run mental health foundations to aid the community that are informed and sensitive to the
needs and cultural differences. 

You’ve released your single “Grateful” during lockdown.
What can we expect from the rest of your forthcoming album? 
It’s the first record I’ve written from the ground up. I’ve always had thousands of songs, so I just picked from my catalog. It was interesting 25 years later to write a record from scratch ― I wrote 200 songs to get 10 I liked! And 10 which are in the same style since every time I sit down to write, it’s a different style. The record took on ’70s, soul and old R&B vibe.  

Your album “Pieces of You” recently turned 25.
How do you feel when you hear songs like “Foolish Games” today? 
I’m proud and fortunate the record did so well. It was deeply validating for a kid who had gone through so much to have such an amazing fan base who supported me for who I was ― I didn’t have to change. The fans have been
with me since. It’s a tremendous blessing and changed my life forever.

Finding Zen in Italy?

The story of two expats living in two different countries coming together for
a month of yoga teacher training in Abruzzo, Italy. By Courtney Sunday

How many expats does it take to teach a yoga teacher training?
Although this sounds like the setup for a joke, in this situation, the answer is two. Specifically, Courtney Sunday and Monica Angelucci, two expats who are joining forces for the first time to do yoga teacher training in Italy. Monica, an American, lives in Germany. Courtney, a Canadian, lives in the U.S. They met over five years ago when Courtney was living in Switzerland. While feeling the kind of loneliness that can come from being away from your home base and your mother tongue, she began to meditate in her apartment overlooking the Alps. Even with all of the markers of success, Courtney felt out of place in her life and more and more at home on her mat. She started looking into the Yoga Alliance teacher training that was in her vicinity.

She came upon Prague Yoga, a bright website that seemed confident and informative. Without much thought, she signed up for a teacher training session in 2009. “There was nothing about being in a yoga teacher training that was comfortable for me,” admits Courtney. “I wasn’t a public speaker. I was the kind of kid who skipped gym.” Yet the teacher she met in the Czech Republic challenged her in a way that felt academic, first, and physical, second.

The teacher was Monica Angelucci. Monica has always been interested in being challenged in classes and training. Her knowledge comes from her students.
“I want to learn from experience,” she says. Monica has now trained hundreds of teachers and she has a concrete mission. “
My goal has always been to create teachers. I am still in communication with a lot of them still.” To prove it, Monica pulls out a Facebook message she received from a student of hers in 2006. It was glowing.
In a yoga world where people can be trained end masse, this Italian training is capped at 11.

“I can’t do a teacher training and not make it individual,” claims Monica.
Heavily influenced by her first training as well as over 500 hours of additional training, Courtney decided to lead her own teacher training in Toronto in 2014. A small group of students inspired her as they worked hard to unlearn yoga dogma and enter into a world of discussion. As Courtney shaped her program, Monica encouraged her via Skype sessions to create a program rooted in what she knew for sure. “

How can you know your students’ bodies if you don’t know your own body?” Monica questioned. “That is where the inquiry starts. Then more questions come about by teaching. Even if you don’t have the answer as a teacher, work with your students to find the answer. “Courtney and Monica reflected on what types of students were realistically attracted to their explorative mode of yoga teaching.

They noticed that they had a little bit of everything. Older adults who had a deep interest in yogic philosophy. Physical therapists who wanted to take their anatomical knowledge to a different population. Injured yoga students who wanted to find a different way to move. Both Courtney and Monica found that their graduates often felt compelled to work with a specific population, such as the elderly or pregnant.

“A lot of them are not into healing power.

They are interested in injuries, modifications and props. Their interest is how to cater to students with challenges. Realistically, that’s all classrooms,” muses Monica. As they began to consider combining forces, they wanted to include individual modules set for specific populations. Whether it was yin, older adults or prenatal, in a short 200 hours they wanted to give the tools to build inclusive teachers.

“When you teach, it’s not about you,” emphasizes Courtney. “It’s about your students.”
With personalities that are attracted to change, Monica and Courtney are already anticipating Italy with great excitement. Although September 25-October 16, 2016, may sound far away, the verdant landscape of Abruzzo (in central Italy) is close enough to feel anticipatory. Yoga will be practiced on a beautiful terrace overlooking the Conciella valley as well as a stunning indoor yoga room.
The vacation center has over 2 acres of land, providing ample space for hikes and relaxation. Every day will be filled with meditation, yoga practice and lectures and, of course, being Italy, spectacular dinners with fresh fruit and vegetables. The first 100 hours are open for people who want to learn more about yoga without having the agenda to teach. Inspired by a curious student she met on a Spanish yoga retreat; Courtney believes that the first two weeks are the perfect way to understand the yoga world a little more fully.

In addition, it will be a way of understanding the body and working with it in order to keep it moving functionally for a lifetime. The second 100 hours are there for those who want to be certified under the Yoga Alliance as teachers. “These hours will not be about teaching you a sequence. This training is about teaching you to be a teacher,” says Monica. As many of you know, the strength of being an expat is the community.

It is why Monica opened a yoga studio.
And it is why Courtney found it hard to return home. It is how Monica and Courtney have met lifelong friends in new countries. It is how we all learn and forge connections from strangers in new locations. Whether you are an expat who is interested in the ultimate Italian self-exploration, or you are a grounded yogi looking for a career change, Yoga Europa and Sunday Om coming together is an opportunity to take an inclusive vacation model and for once, include the spirit.

Was the entire UK first wave simply Euthanasia in care homes?

Longtime news anchor and MSNBC host Brian Williams has left the network after nearly three decades, signing off on the final episode of his popular nightly political talk program The 11th Hour with a stark warning about America’s future.
Williams, 62, first announced his plans to leave in November, saying “following much reflection,” he chose to step down upon the completion of his contract. He said in a memo to colleagues at the time that in his 28 years with NBC, he had covered eight Olympic Games and seven presidential elections.
“What a ride it’s been,” said Williams in a three-minute farewell speech on Thursday night, as he thanked his friends, family, co-workers and viewers.
“After 28 years of peacock logos on much of what I own,
it is my choice now to jump without a net into the great unknown,” he said.
He concluded his final the 11th Hour broadcast by saying that his “biggest worry” is for future of the United States.

off for the final time after 28 years with NBC. https://t.co/VRRmGdoi80  pic.twitter.com/mb8zSoUnkq— MSNBC (@MSNBC) December 10, 2021

“The truth is, I’m not a liberal or a conservative, I’m an institutionalist,” Williams told his viewers. “I believe in this place and in my love of country
I yield to no one, the darkness on the edge of town has spread to the main roads and highways and neighborhoods, it’s now at the local bar and the bowling alley, at the school board and the grocery store, and it must be acknowledged and answered for,” Williams Said.

Euthanasia – Wikipedia is the practice of intentionally ending life to relieve pain and suffering. Different countries have different euthanasia laws.
The British House of Lords select committee on medical ethics defines euthanasia as “a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express
intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering”.
In the Netherlands and Belgium, euthanasia is understood as “termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient”. The Dutch law, however, does not use the term ‘euthanasia’ but includes the concept under the broader definition of “assisted suicide and termination of life on request”.

A GOOD DEATH? (A TRULY HEARTBREAKING DOCUMENTARY CONCERNING EUTHANASIA BY MIDAZOLAM) (brandnewtube.com)

A new and original film from Iconic Media, we hear the heartbreaking stories from people who lost loved ones to fatal doses of morphine and Midazolam. Each year, tens of thousands of elderlies and terminally ill patients are quietly euthanized in NHS facilities. In hospitals, care homes and hospices, behind closed doors, their deaths are hastened in what appears to be a caring and humane way. But how has this practice of euthanasia – illegal in the UK and carrying a life prison sentence.

Congressman Introduces Bill to Force FDA to Release Pfizer Documents Within 100 Days, Instead of 55 Years • Children’s Health Defense (children’s health defense.org)

U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) on Thursday introduced legislation to require the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release, within 100 days, all records of information related to Pfizer COVID vaccines. The FDA had asked to be allowed to take up to 55 years to release the documents.

He should be held personally responsible for the inevitable adverse events that result from his ridicule and public humiliation of someone who thinks rather than mindlessly follows. Self-care Tip: Train yourself to take nothing personally. Don’t take anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. Nothing anyone does to you is because of you. Everything they do is a reflection of themselves and who they are.
Don’t spend time and energy disputing their nature. Instead, use that on bettering yourself. Mental resilience is a superpower. Like water off a duck’s back! Build this mentality, engrain it within you. Train your mind to believe in your own talent and potential.

I’ve had help with previous ADHD meds, but not my current ones. It’s not really something you can properly train as it’s an immediate response.

Start doing everything you do slowly, be mindful thus paying close attention to whatever you do, even brushing your teeth. That slow activity will turn into a habit and before you know, you’ll be slow to react to any stupid thing happening around you @mskchanel we just talked about this! There is NO such training. It’s not possible not to take things personally If something was said or done, which has to do with YOU. You can train yourself to take deep breaths before you react. Ignore, you are here to create yourself. The best revenge is this. I think it’s good to take SOME things personally–to hold them as motivators, and to allow yourself to know that your feelings are valid. But that said, how we react to anything is a choice. If you choose the lens used to view what happens to you, it helps you take power back.

Change what you can, manage what you can’t. ~Raymond McCauley.
Lose toxic people to reach the first step of progress.  If you’re purpose driven, Your time has value and others need to understand that, so don’t give your time to someone who hasn’t earned it.  It’s amazing how quickly things can turn around when you remove toxic people from your life.  Get comfortable with losing anyone that threatens your peace of mind before you lose your mind.

Traits of People not good for mental health: – They judge and gossip about others – They expect you to be around only when necessary – They expect you to respond their texts ASAP – They need your attention anytime –

They Act like Victim, Shift blame easily!!!

You lose your mental health when You lose who you are. 
There are 2 types of victims, those who shame less aggressive victims and those who perpetrate the problem. The difference/ one is vulnerable, and the other is guarded. The guarded victim, that carries hate and resentment, is the leading cause of destruction.  Sounds like my entire family. How the hell do you unravel that one. Not talk to any of them. It doesn’t work like that with CPTSD. The fucking flashbacks and memories are still there. Even if you haven’t spoken for years, one word and bang!

What to do if they are close or family members. @PsychologyF
Stay away from people who you don’t like, it will always trigger negative thoughts and emotions when you see them. Imagine those who find flaws in everyone, but refuse to look where the flaws are actually coming from… Within them. DON’T OVERLOOK THE LITTLE THINGS. 1) The Drip Effect: You shape yourself based on experiences; little opportunities may lead to a big break. 2) Stop And Reflect: We get so caught up in the big things we forget about the little things that have sculpted us into who we are.

I believe that’s what common sense dictates too. But I get that you’re sharing this for the ones who need to be spoon fed to understand! XD

That doesn’t work when you have to work with them and, or when they are
your seniors, I just take them on, wear them down, and spit them back into their corner, no more problems. Protect your mental health by not looking at things you know will trigger it.

By Robert Higgs, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Coronavirus data compiled by the Ohio Department of Health shows a clear connection between the lack of vaccinations and higher death rates. In counties across Ohio where the vaccination rate was below the state’s rate, the chances of death from COVID-19 were significantly higher – nearly double in some instances. Rates for hospitalization among the unvaccinated were also higher. Health experts say the data reinforces the need for people to get vaccinated against COVID.
State health officials crunched their data several ways, looking at numbers for population groups of 18 and older, 30 and older and 40 and older. In each case, hospitalization rates were 35% to 40% higher in counties with vaccination rates below the state’s, which was 58.38%, as of Tuesday. The gap for deaths was even greater. The chances of a coronavirus death in counties below the statewide vaccination rate ranged from 74% to 94% higher.

Among people aged 40 and older, counties with higher vaccination rates averaged 447 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents, while those below the state rate saw 624 hospitalizations per 100,000. Between April 1 and Nov. 28 – a period when vaccines were widely available — 88 per 100,000 residents died of COVID in counties with higher vaccination rates among people aged 40 or older. Death rates in counties below the state vaccination rate were nearly double — 166 deaths per 100,000.

In cases where vaccination status was clearly known, the deaths of 12,372 unvaccinated Ohioans were attributed to COVID-19 between Jan. 1 to Dec. 1. There were just 524 COVID deaths involving fully vaccinated individuals, according to the state. As of Tuesday, COVID-19 is blamed for the deaths of 27,011 Ohioans since January 2020. Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer found a stark difference in vaccination rates from rural to urban areas when it analyzed county-by-county rates.

A handful of larger, urban and suburban counties are pushing up Ohio’s overall vaccination rate. But, in rural Ohio, less than half the residents have started getting vaccinated. Fourteen counties top the state’s vaccination rate. Among them are Ohio’s four largest counties and nine of the top 16.  Ten of the 14 have populations topping 130,000. Delaware County is highest at more than 74%. It also has the lowest death rate for coronavirus in the state.

Among counties in Greater Cleveland — Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit – all but Portage have vaccination rates topping 60%. More than 56% of Portage County residents are vaccinated. Those seven counties each were among the lowest for deaths per 100,000 residents. Cuyahoga had the fifth-lowest rate. Geauga County had the third lowest. In contrast, in 53 mostly rural counties, less than half the residents have started the vaccination process. In 11 counties, less than 40% have received their first shot. 

Those counties each have fewer than 60,000 residents. One has fewer than 15,000. Holmes County’s vaccination rate is lowest at just over 18%. The lower rates could be attributed to many reasons, ranging from access issues to a feeling that the virus presents less danger because residents live in sparsely populated areas, Gatlin said. “And then there are those who aren’t going to get it because somebody told them to,” Gatlin said.
But with the emergence of new variants, that may change, Armitage said. “There does seem to be a little bit of a push (for getting vaccinated) with the Delta variant and with Omicron,” he said. Getting vaccinated does not guarantee a person will not contract COVID-19, but it decreases the chances that they will be hospitalized or die. “They may still get it, but most of them are not hospitalized,” said Beth Gatlin of the Center for Health Affairs, a leading advocate for Northeast Ohio hospitals. 

“Ninety percent of the patients, adults or children, who are hospitalized for COVID are not vaccinated.” The vaccinations could remain important, too, as new variants of the coronavirus emerge.Full vaccination with the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines produces enough antibodies to neutralize the Delta variant, researchers said in a new study  But the Delta variant put up a stronger fight against antibody protection than earlier variants of COVID-19.

Pfizer said Wednesday that two doses of its vaccine may not provide sufficient protection against the Omicron coronavirus variant, but that three doses are able to neutralize it. “We don’t know what the next variant will be,” said Dr. Keith Armitage, an infectious disease specialist and director of the Roe Green Center for Travel Medicine and Global Health at University Hospital. “The pandemic is so hard to predict,” Armitage said. “People who have spent their careers working … infectious diseases don’t know what to expect.”
In a statement Wednesday, the Ohio Department of Health again urged residents to learn about the vaccines and get their shots. “The best thing that any Ohioan who hasn’t yet chosen to be vaccinated can do is to talk to their doctor. Take time to sit down, ask your questions, and get the facts about COVID-19 vaccines,” the statement said. “Especially as we continue to face incredibly high cases and hospitalizations, particularly in northern Ohio, now is the time to be vaccinated.”

say the Delta variant is still causing a majority of infections in the U.S.

CBS News correspondent Nikki Battiste reports Omicron may cause less serious illness than other variants. Then, ER physician and Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Ali Raja joins CBSN’s Elaine Quijano for the latest on COVID-19.

I Read One-In-700 Adverse Reactions — to the vaccine?

Ella Grace Talley – Pfizer September 2021

Severe Adverse Reaction: Paralysis to Lower Body
Angie, Ella’s Grandmother and her mother, Lisa wrote on 1st October 2021:
After taking her second Pfizer Covid Vaccine, she laid down to take a nap
and woke up with no feeling in her lower body at all, and also no reflexes.
This is such a very, very serious situation and so frightening. She is in the Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City.
Today will be MRI and a Spinal Tap. Hopefully some answers to all this soon – we pray.

Updated by Lisa Talley: Ella was diagnosed with a group of viruses coupled with the Pfizer Vaccine, causing a severe reaction to her nerves and system.

Kelli – Pfizer March 2021

Severe Adverse Reaction: Guillain Barre Syndrome

Kelli has been fighting hard with a very tough battle of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disease which attacks the nerves and causes paralysis.

She can only move her hands, neck, and shrug her shoulders. She is unable to grip or hold things. Kelli has been unable to eat by mouth for 4 weeks due to the GBS impacting her swallowing and has been relying on a feeding tube.

Kelli has been battling this disease for over 7 weeks now and was first admitted to the hospital on 30th March 2021. Her doctors believe it was brought on by the 2nd Pfizer Covid Vaccine. .

Kelli’s case of GBS has been relentless and not responding well to treatments that most cases respond well to. This has made it very frustrating as we haven’t found what treatment’s / treatment combinations are needed to first get her disease to plateau (stop continuing to progress and keep relapsing). Her doctors feel her case of GBS is trending towards the chronic form of GBS called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

She has endured the following very tough treatments over the last 7 weeks:
7 x IVIG, 10 x Plasmapheresis (Plex for short) and 1 IV high-dose chemotherapy (on 5/5).

Her voice has been very faint for weeks. She was relying on a Bi-pap breathing machine to help prolong keeping her off the ventilator for weeks until her diaphragm was just too weak coupled with the procedures to get her longer-term feeding tube in place, which resulted in her now using the ventilator full-time through a tracheotomy.

Kelli was/is an extraordinary nurse and wonderful daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and friend. She enjoys yoga, running, hiking, and traveling. Recently, in addition to being a nurse, Kelli began pursuing her master’s degree in nursing from Grand Canyon University and was even awarded the Dawn Gross Scholarship from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Kelli was healthy before the Pfizer Vaccine and got it to supposedly protect her patients.

Coral Curran – Pfizer 1st dose 23rd November

Severe Adverse Reaction: Stroke and Bell’s Palsy

Coral, a Student Nurse, telling her story:

Three weeks ago, the government set it to the headlines that mandatory vaccines will be rolled out amongst the NHS staff.

On Tuesday the 23rd November I begrudgingly made the decision to have my first jab, through nothing but coercion. My freedom of choice was taken from me, my career that I have worked so tireless for, my career that many have sacrificed for me to get, my career that provides a stable and comfortable future for my children and family, my career that has seen me work UNPAID, 12 hour days throughout the pandemic, was at risk for the sake of a jab I felt I did not need.

Yesterday, the 30th of November I was admitted into hospital, doctors declared, at the age of 27, I had had a Mini Stroke as a result of the Pfizer Vaccine and have also developed Bell’s Palsy. That’s right, from a vaccine I didn’t want, from a vaccine I knew I didn’t need! And to top it off, the evening of my admission, the Royal College of Nursing published an article on EVIDENCE BASED research that suggested NHS staff being vaccinated made no difference to the care and numbers. I am a student nurse, 6 months from qualifying.

FEATURED STORIES

More Occurrences: USA Archives – No More Silence – Telling Our Stories

World Bank Admits Pfizer Will Only Give Vaccines to Countries in Which Citizens Can’t Sue Them for Injuries. by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

This year, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund turned 77 years old. Since their founding in 1944, these two international financial behemoths have grown into massive bureaucracies and are largely controlled by US special interests who push policies that run counter to the interests of the rest of the world.

Through cronyism and predatory lending, the World Bank and IMF have systematically devoured the national sovereignty of countries worldwide in order to bend those countries to the will of the oligopoly. Through loans and leveraged debt, these highly corrupt institutions have forced countries into servitude, violating international pacts and human rights in the process. They have also made it entirely clear that they have no qualms about supporting dictators.

The World Bank uses this aforementioned control to amplify the will of the massive corporations whose interests it serves to protect. The vaccine manufacturers are part of this racket and on Friday, World Bank President David Malpass made a telling admission. In a nutshell, Malpass stated that Pfizer won’t go into countries unless those governments grant them immunity from any and all damages caused by their vaccine.

If the country allows individuals or organizations to sue after Pfizer hurts them, Pfizer stays out.

“Pfizer has been hesitant to go into some of the countries because of the liability problems, they don’t have a liability shield,” Malpass stated on Friday.

Imagine the audacity it takes for a company who is ostensibly helping to stop a pandemic to tell people they can’t have their “life-saving” medicine unless said company can harm them with impunity. There is no need to imagine, as this is the situation in which we currently find ourselves.

It is no secret that removing someone’s liability also removes their incentive to create safer products and actually encourages careless behavior. Vaccine manufacturers are no stranger to this process and since 1988, the U.S. taxpayers have shelled out over $4 billion to pay for the damages caused by vaccines — not the manufacturers.

In 1988, largely due to vaccine makers lobbying the government to alleviate their liability, The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was established.

After an uptick in lawsuits in the late 80’s, the vaccine manufacturers essentially held the government hostage and threatened to stop making vaccines unless the government took on responsibility for vaccine injury lawsuits — and NVICP did just that.

You can actually prove that you or your child were harmed from a vaccine yet the vaccine maker is completely shielded from liability. Even if you are awarded monetary compensation through the NVICP, the taxpayers are put on the line, not the vaccine makers. This removal of liability has created the incentive to turn out new vaccines with very little testing, as the companies don’t have to worry about financial hardships for injuring people, which in turn has shaped the situation that we find ourselves in today.

In the last 2 decades, we’ve witnessed a near 300% increase in the number of CDC recommended vaccines. Now, we have companies like Pfizer turning out a vaccine that was developed & approved in only eight months and they had absolutely zero incentive to devote resources to the in-depth study of its safety.

In fact, as we reported, the British Medical Journal published an incendiary report exposing faked data, blind trial failures, poorly trained vaccinators, and a slow follow-up on adverse reactions in the phase-three trial of Pfizer’s Covid jab.

BREAKING: Researchers have found a SIGNIFICANT increase in the risk of acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Pfizer vaccination among male adolescents, especially after the second dose. 37 per 100,000 or 1 in 2,680 vaccinated. SERIOUS safety signal. Oxford Academic (oup.com)
