I'm a skeptic by nature. I worry that the majority of Americans are sheep, and will do whatever the establishment tells them. If you understand the basics of the immune system, you'd know that 70% of everything they tell you is bs. I only get physicals to get blood work done. I'm on no medication, but if a condition arose requiring it, I would go homeopathic rather than pharmaceutical.

I’m of the same mind.

Eat well, stay active, everything in moderation.

This past year has been a lot more stressful on me than I had originally thought and I’ve had some flare ups of IBS. I have identified a couple of foods that, unfortunately, I can’t eat too much of anymore (broccoli, which is one of my favorite vegetables), but when I talked to my doctor about it they immediately went to anti-depressants. I said no and did some research.

Peppermint oil extract.

I take a dropper full of that in a tall glass of water and I start feeling better in a very short period of time.

Bergamot root also helps with digestion as does fennel, which is great because braised fennel with garlic and tomatoes is the shit.

Mint gum works well for upset stomachs.

I learned that EVERYTHING starts in the gut. Especially the immune system. If the gut ain't right, nothing is. That's why I started fasting a few years ago.

It doesn’t stop the spread, it simply stops symptoms, that most people don’t get anyway. The vaccine gives symptoms for 6-8 hours for nearly 100% of victims...,

So what really is in this thing that they are pushing so hard for EVERYONE to take it. People “joke” about microchips, etc, but what is it really?

Whatever. My 5g will be on point after this vaccine.

Ok, let’s just face the facts that it’s endemic and move on with life, Protect yourself how you wish...

So most other coronaviruses, a reinfection is less severe right? Wonder if the vaccine has the same effect after it wears off.

Everybody got all up in arms about the evil company selling the land they knew would be for a school, blah, blah, blah. Turns out the government threatened to use Eminent Domain to take the land by force because the company was flat out refusing to sell the land because they knew a school would be put there. They wound up selling it to the government for a dollar with the stipulation that no building anybody would ever be near would be placed on the land. Of course, the government builds the school and in a moment of what shouldn't surprise any of us, allowed the company to be sued by the families of the students who inevitably suffered numerous medical issues, including cancer.

EDIT: It wasn't near Pittsburgh, it was in Love Canal, a neighborhood of Niagara Falls.

Wasn't that what Erin Brokovich was about?

Brockovich was in California (though based on hazardous waste dumping getting into water)

Same... which is why I'm not taking the vaccine. I try to stay as natural and healthy as possible.

Also, regarding depression, the sun does wonders for your mood. Get outside go for a walk andmake sure you've got some skin exposed to adsorb the rays.

I have been going into the office at my job since this thing started. I interact with roughly 30 - 40 different people on a daily basis. Add to that another 10 people at my gym. I have been fortunate so far not (to my knowledge) contract the virus.

You never know. I was really sick in January of 2020 just when this was being talked about. Since I have been in quite good health. A few weeks ago I was having a physical and asked if I wanted extra blood drawn to test for the anti-bodies to see if I had it. It came back positive, so at some point I had Covid. If it was in Jan of 2020 then I was one of the first in this country to get it. I assume I had it later and was near asymptomatic. My family also has been quite healthy the last year so if my kids or wife got it they too get through it quite easily.

I am 58 with type II diabetes. That said, I am in pretty good shape and not near overweight, which I think is more the issue than the diabetes. I guess I will get the vaccine at some point but I am in no rush.
