Chinese dropping like flies

[Tales]

Aeternitus,

Thank you for the list.  I've been working on curing IBS for many years and that includes various diets and naturopathic remedies, supplements and what not.  I am always interested to hear what naturopathic remedies work for different people.  What do you yourself use on a daily basis?

Aeternitus,

Thank you for the list.  I've been working on curing IBS for many years and that includes various diets and naturopathic remedies, supplements and what not.  I am always interested to hear what naturopathic remedies work for different people.  What do you yourself use on a daily basis?

Hi Davis,

The only supplements I take every day are Vit B and C and this is because they are not stored in the body, but excreted daily.  I am a strong believer in trying to get as many nutrients as possible from diet rather than supplements, but this is well-nigh impossible these days, considering mass production of food, the chemicals used to produce and transport them, together with increasing their shelf life.   Consequently, I try to buy organic produce as much as possible.  It is not always possible, so I just do what I can. 

I then take supplements as needed, which is determined by what I am dealing with in my life.  I recently took a course of echinacea, not because I felt threatened by any cold, but purely because I wanted to boost my immune system in the event of being "forced" to have a flu vaccination, which I have never had in my life.  My mother's nursing home is insisting that visitors have flu vaccinations.  I am going to fight this, but I just wanted to be prepared in case I was shoved into a corner and build my immune system up so it could deal with the vaccination!   I would have the vaccination if forced to, provided it wasn't made from any immoral substance, so I would do my homework there too.   

The golden seal really helped my digestive issues when they were quite debilitating.  It is a truly wonderful herb, but I haven't needed to take it for some years now.  I don't suffer from IBS, but every now and then stress gives me digestive issues.  Instead of going to a naturopathic for golden seal, (which I would if it were ongoing) I take something called "Iberogast" when this occurs, which is available from both pharmacists and health shops over the counter.   It is recommended for IBS.  I find it immediately helpful and always have it on hand.   I also know others who swear by it.  It contains 9 herbs and here is a link about it.

I also drink 2 tsps of organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother in it) in hottish water in the morning and 2 tsps at night with a tsp raw honey.  I find this helpful for digestion also, together with other benefits. 

At the moment, I am taking something called rhodiola rosea.  I take this when my life is extra stressful, which it has been.  I find it extremely effective, inasmuch as it calms me down and enables me to juggle a multitude of things with ease.  I am highly strung by nature and this noticeably reduces anxiety associated with stress, which, when internalised, as I tend to do, affects my digestion also.  Once things calm down, I stop taking the rhodiola and just have it on hand.  However, initially one should take it for a month or two to notice the effects.  I have recommended this to others who have also had very positive results, but one friend, who is phlegmatic by nature, didn't really find it helpful. Their "anxiety", however, is insomnia induced, so I guess that is the underlying problem that needs addressing for them.

Hope this is helpful.

WATCH: "Dr Erickson Covid19 Briefing" CENSORED by YouTube

I saw that, and saw the Fox discussion of that last night directly with Dr. Erickson. 

I've said over and over (like him) that we should have started the process of herd immunity, and that delaying it will cause artificial "spikes" and "surges" just in time for the U.S. presidential election in November.  The ultra left media never could abide the fact that Trump -- or any Republican -- was elected in 2016, and thus they are united in their effort to manipulate the news and even the progress of a disease in order to accomplish their goals.

The lawyers are asleep. Among the many constitutional infringements on display is the power of Youtube and Google to restrict information flow.

More Chutzpah on display.  Those Orthodox Jews are growing on me.

Not gonna lie, at first I thought there was an Abraham Lincoln convention.

Imagine if the SSPX had kept all their chapels open, welcomed all comers, and had 24 hour mass schedules on Sunday inviting conservative minded independent priests to say the old rite masses in the chapels they could not get to.  6 feet between people in pews, and challenged the authorities to arrest them for providing the sacraments.

I bet the authorities in most places would not have the balls.

What would charges of "schismatic" mean then?  Schism from a Church that does not have the balls to keep churches open because of a pandemic killing 1 in 400?

An opportunity squandered.

Sure, a handful of SSPX priests are in jail for child sexual abuse, but three dozen are in there for providing the sacraments.  How many would newChurch have?

They would let them out after a few weeks, but they could bask in the glory for years.

Careful, there.  You don't want to be accused of anti-semitism, do you?

Have a look at the frightening comments.  Some are outright essays vomiting up all the Pro-Israel propaganda these Christian Zionists have been fed all their lives.

The SSPX chapel in Davie, Fla. Has remained open through this whole thing, and my brother says that they are getting many N.O. People who are now coming to Mass. Some have told him that they will never go back to the N.O.

Thanks for the encouraging story.  May I suggest that we do not include identifying information when discussing which chapels are open.

Congratulations to the "Chinese dropping like flies" thread on reaching number 8 spot in the Top Ten Topics (by replies) in the forum stats.  May it continue to inform and entertain us.

Some of the comments to the video are good though.

Our priests have done all that they can from the beginning. The priests have heard confessions outside in the cold and damp. They have distributed communion one person or family at a time for hours on end. All day adoration, of which every hour was filled up for weeks. We now have Mass with limited numbers. You have to sign up for Holy Communion and Mass, and I have seen quite a few names I don't know, and assume they are coming from the diocese or the surrounding ones.  I know that one of our priests has been at his mission chapel since the start of this, doing the same thing, I am sure.

It hasn't been easy on the faithful, and I am sure it has been just as hard for the priests. God willing we come out of this loving the faith, the Mass and the Sacraments more, and not taking for granted that we will always have easy access. The end is in sight to some return to normalcy soon here, praying that the same will happen everywhere else as well.

But in Florida, churches are allowed to stay open, so there should not be any issue on saying the location. :-)
