SPEAKER 05 : 0:37

Hello, hello, hello. Happy Monday, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in to Shooting the Breeze today. I always appreciate each and every one of you for stopping in and listening to me rant for a while, and I hope to hear from somebody today at some point. Happy Mother’s Day, by the way, to all the mamas out there. Hopefully you got spoiled a little bit yesterday. Had a lovely birthday and Mother’s Day weekend. Yes, Friday was my 60th birthday. Oh, my God. Luke, how did that happen? How did I get 60?

SPEAKER 02 : 1:15

Time passed, I suppose.

SPEAKER 05 : 1:18

It’s just unbelievable because in my mind, you know, I’m still like this adolescent kind of, you know, I’ve got this way of thinking that just puts me in a different mindset. I’m not 60. I can’t be 60. Anyway, so I had a great birthday with my daughter. She took me to this great little painting and cocktail places that you can go to, and I created a masterpiece. I’m just kidding. I have absolutely no artistic skills whatsoever, but my piece turned out pretty well, maybe slightly better than Hunter Biden’s watercolor, you know, straw blowing things that he did that he’s selling for a million dollars that, you know, use the straw that he used to do a line five minutes earlier, but whatever. I think it’s okay. But it was very fun and had a very lovely dinner with my family that night. And then I got to go, my daughter actually had to work on Mother’s Day. So we went to the hospital and had lunch with her and it was fantastic. But Franktown firearms. So you guys have to come check out what’s new is it’s to say the place has gotten the makeover is the understatement of the century and the shoot house is opening up for classes this week. And if you have any questions about the shoot house courses and if you don’t even know what the shoot house is, I strongly encourage you to find out what that is. It’s an indoor facility, four rooms, hallways, doorways, different locations for different targets and different scenarios. And you just have to check it out. It’s one of a kind in the state. You guys are going to want to go and train there and get the practical training. The practical training that you need to keep yourself safe in your house or when you’re out and about or whatever, these courses are going to be super fun but intensive, and you’re going to learn a lot. So call the shop at 720-770-7777 if you want to ask somebody about the shoot house or perhaps come in and ask somebody to show it to you. They’ll be more than happy to do that. This facility is going to blow your mind. and you’re not going to find this kind of training anywhere else. It’s going to get you through any situation with confidence, and at least you’re going to have this in your back pocket as sort of a platform on which to base your real-life situations. And God forbid, hopefully that never happens to you, but this kind of training is invaluable, so you’re going to want to check it out. So this morning, I guess some major crash on I-70. I’m sure a lot of you listening right now were probably stuck in that mess. My husband was stuck in it for quite a while. That was insane. I guess the driver, I don’t know, according to KDVR, the Aurora PD told Fox 31 that a call came in at 1230 in the morning today that semi-driver had reportedly swerved to avoid sudden braking and crashed into the pole of an overhead electronic sign. And the truck… Ironically, nowadays, it’s kind of funny to hear this part, but the truck was carrying cases and cases of eggs, which are now strewn all over the highway. One lane, I guess, was opened around 6 a.m. this morning. The truck driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, which is a miracle, if you ask me, because the pictures of this crash and the cab of that truck look absolutely devastating. So prayers to everyone involved with that. I can’t even imagine. So I’m going to start out today by talking about something that I read this morning, and you’ve heard me talk about prepping in the past, prepping and survival and, you know, just all the stuff that you need for that. I’m always encouraging people to have an extra supply of food and water, medical supplies, maybe a generator or two and batteries and flashlights and a bug-out bag and all that good stuff. Anyone who considers themselves preppers knows have all of this and much, much more. But what about a situation where it’s not really the end of the world, Mad Max kind of scenario, you just run out of gas and deep in the mountains or you get lost on a hike at a time when you’re not fully prepared for it? Now, we talk about the dangerous RF, right, radio frequency, and how our phone screens are damaging our eyes and that cell phones are not good for anyone in general and to reduce screen time for our kids and all of that stuff. But we all have a cell phone with us at all times. You do. I do. Most people do. And an article from Survivopedia this morning talks about the 15 ways that that your cell phone could save your life. And I’m just going to say as an aside that with some of this information, it might be a good idea to even charge up an old, outdated phone that you’ve replaced and keep the old, outdated phone charged and handy. You don’t have to be able to use it. You’ll understand why here in a minute. And I will also preface this by saying that some of this, like the last half of it, are very apocalyptic. Like some of the scenarios here would only be necessary in very, very dire circumstances, which makes me wonder if the author of this article thought about the fact that if the grid goes down, Or if the doo-doo really hits the fan, having a cell signal is probably not in the cards. So I’m going to digress from that and just take this for what it is. But here we go. Fifteen ways that your cell phone can save your life. Starting out with the obvious and assuming that you’re in an area that has cell coverage or if there’s any cell coverage at all, you can call for help. Duh. Provided your smartphone is working, you can use it to call for help, potentially ending a survival ordeal shortly after it begins. Number two, you can relay your coordinates. Use your smartphone to give rescuers GPS coordinates and address or, you know, your location so they can find you. That’s what also kind of stands to reason. It’s very simplistic. Number three, it has a flashlight. We all know that. Pretty much all cell phones now have built-in flashlights. One guy with a small flashlight could save a large group of people during a 911 by helping them navigate dark stairwells obstructed by smoke or debris. A flashlight can help you find your way in the dark, find what you need to build a fire or to see to build shelter. So don’t underestimate the utility of a humble flashlight. The fourth is emergency signal. This one I thought was really interesting. So your phone’s screen can be used to reflect sunlight. You’ve seen all the old movies and stuff where they have the mirror and they direct the mirror towards the sun and they’re flashing it, you know, to send out an SOS or whatever. So it can be used in that way, and that can be seen for a really long way away. Will Franzen fell overboard and was able to signal a boat using his wristwatch as a signal mirror after treading water for 24 hours. So your smartphone will definitely get the job done. If you have added an adhesive scratch-resistant screen cover to your phone, you may need to pull it off and rub any adhesive off the glass to get a good reflection. The phone’s flashlight feature can be used for emergency signaling at night. Just use an object to cover the light to make it appear to flash. So basically what they’re saying here is that you can send an SOS. If you do three long bursts of light followed by three short ones and then three long ones, so you would just cover or like turn it, you know, and just to create the long and short SOS signal. So even if a person who sees the light doesn’t understand Morse code, signals in groups of threes is a universal distress code. So anybody with an IQ above room temperature who sees a light flashing in groups of three should either investigate or alert authorities. If you have called for help and relayed your coordinates, let them know that you will be attempting to signal using your cell phone as a signal mirror. And so people will be looking for that, which I think is pretty cool. The next one is land navigation. Smartphones have GPS and compass functions, making them first-rate navigation tools. Just don’t get so dependent on using GPS to navigate that you stop noticing landmarks, which I think is very smart as well. And, you know, this brings me to maps. How many people these days know, young people especially, know how to read a map? And that’s scary to me. I’m going to say I’m completely guilty of that. Our daughter would have no idea. She GPS, she Google Maps everything. So I wish that more people would, you know, kind of teach their kids, myself included, how to read a map, an actual physical paper map. And then he goes on to say, I’m not just being a crusty old survival writer here. More people are getting seriously lost since the proliferation of GPS than before it. Some of that is because there are more people, but some of it is because those people haven’t developed the synapses in their brains that help them intuit direction. They are so dependent on staring at screens that they no longer pay attention to where they are going. Some of them don’t even bother to learn to use a map and compass. If that’s you, look up from your screen and start paying attention. Also realize the GPS is way more likely to tell you to drive into a lake or off a cliff in the middle of the wilderness than in a metropolis. Pay attention accordingly. And that’s true, too. I think I’ve told the story. I was trying to find a a location where our daughter was having volleyball practice. And I’d never been there before, and it was at night, it was in the winter. And so we were driving around, and it was Apple Maps that I was using, and it kept telling me turn right here, but it was into like a row of bushes. So we just ended up going home. Like I had no idea where it was. I didn’t see enough cars to think that maybe this is it. And we just went home because the Apple Maps thing was incorrect, and I didn’t know where I was going. And so, again, I guess I was guilty of not reading a map or bringing a map. So number six is monocular. Some cell phones have optical and or digital zoom cameras enabling them to see distant objects more clearly than with the naked eye. Using the digital zoom on the trail can tell you that if a hiker is part of your party or not and enable you to scan his waist and hands for weapons, which I think is kind of cool. Again, gloom and doom, apocalyptic kind of stuff. Number seven is magnifying glass. Just as some cameras can be used as a monocular to see distant objects, they can also be used to magnify objects close up when the camera is switched to the correct setting, which is probably labeled macro. Using this setting, some smartphones can be used like a magnifying glass to find small slivers, eye particles, or they can help us old folks read instructions that are too small to see. Number eight, take photos and videos. I don’t think I need to elaborate on that. Number nine, alert you to danger. Most phones can alert you to danger through wireless emergency alerts without installing an app or subscribing to a device or to a service. And then he goes on to say, I was camping on Lake Powell one year on Lone Rock Beach and cell phones and radios with NOAA all hazard weather radio, same technology, started vibrating and emitting the weather emergency alert tone, I guess is what that means, and started squawking, warning of high winds. The warning gave just enough time to gather up Everyone or everything that wasn’t staked to the ground before a microburst came tearing through the beach. I’m no newbie to high winds or sandstorms on Lake Powell, so our tents were staked down with sand hog stakes. When it was all over, my two Katoma CVCTVI tents were the only tents on the beach that weren’t in the lake. It broke from lines and poles and whatever. So he goes on to talk about how it can alert you to danger. Digital survival library. Now, this is where you’re going to have to have a cell phone signal in order to, you know, reach this kind of information. Using your smartphone as a survival library can save you in many more ways. It can provide you with survival manuals and reference material, including first aid instructions, how to tie knots, how to build a fire, build a shelter, treat water, procure food, and so on. Reference material includes shelter-in-place instructions, how to build an improvised fallout shelter, decontamination instructions, repair manuals, and how-to instructions to survive the apocalypse. So obviously, again, very apocalyptic. The next one is, and these are going to involve destroying your cell phone, which is why I said to keep a charged old phone in your car or in your backpack. They don’t weigh that much. Just throw one in there. You can start a fire. It says if you remove your cell phone’s battery, it can be used with a conductor such as wires from your headphones or charging cable to start a fire. The battery should produce some voltage even if your phone says it’s at 0%. That means that it isn’t producing enough voltage to power your smartphone’s circuits, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the battery is not producing any voltage, so be sure to give it a try even if your cell phone tells you your battery is at zero. Batteries can also be used with steel wool or incandescent flashlight bulb filaments to start a fire, and that sounds to me like you would have to destroy your flashlight as well. If your battery is not producing enough voltage but you have more than one battery available, batteries of the same voltage and capacity can be wired into series to increase the voltage produced by the circuit. And once again, there’s a lot of people in this generation and even older generations that wouldn’t even know what in the hell this guy’s talking about, wiring something in series. I know some… male humans that barely even know how to turn a screwdriver. So this is kind of concerning all the way around. But anyway, I will continue. Making a cutting tool. You can break your phone’s screen and use a sliver of it as a cutting tool. More expensive smartphones typically have glass screens, and cheaper ones have plastic screens. You can make a cutting tool from either material, but glass is obviously going to be much sharper. Glass can also be pressure flaked into cutting tools, scraping tools, and projectile points in much the same way as our ancestors used obsidian and flint to make tools. You can make a compass, it says. Everybody reading this website probably knows that the magnet from a good pair of headphones can be used to magnetize a needle or a similar ferrous object which can be floated on a leaf and the north pointing pole used here. for a compass. There are usually easier ways to determine where magnetic north is, such as celestial navigation. The permanent magnets in headphones are usually flat cylindrical magnets. Smartphones usually have at least two speakers, one for calls and one for the bottom audio, but the permanent magnets are covered, whatever, whatever. So it goes on to talk about how you can make a compass out of the magnet in the cell phone. Again, this is all stuff that you would obviously have to research on how to do. You can make cordage. The wire in a headphone and charging cables can be used as cordage. Some cables even come in fabric sheaths like Kern mantle sheath on paracord. This can also be used as cordage, or you can also make cordage from any article of clothing you are wearing. And then, finally, you can make a fish hook. Parts of your smartphone circuit board and plastic and or metal body can sometimes be used to make fish hooks. At the very least, they can be used to make gorge hooks. So very interesting stuff. Just a little device can possibly, you know, offer you a lot of life-saving things that Smartphone accessories, it says, are every bit as important as the device itself with accessories such as a battery bank with a solar panel and a universal charging cable. You can keep your battery charged as long as you can expose the solar panel to sunlight every couple of days. That’s it. So there you go. Your current phone, keep your current phone, keep an old phone charged up and throw it in in case you get into a situation where you have to smash your phone and make a fishhook out of it. I don’t know. I just thought that was… Kind of interesting stuff, all the survival stuff. I get those emails. I think it’s kind of interesting. So next up and for the remainder, well, maybe not the whole entire remainder of the show, but I’m going to talk about our perpetual journey to better health. And it’s a daunting task to navigate everything that we’re subjected to, right? We’ve all heard the stories about our food supply, and we often wonder if we’re actually even eating food anymore. I think that all the time. Every time I get a piece of chicken, even if it’s a natural Purdue chicken breast from the grocery store, it’s like, is this real? Am I eating lab-grown meat here? What is this? And then, you know, we’ve got the petroleum-based dyes and the additives and pesticides, herbicides and fillers and chemicals of all kinds are in almost everything that we buy at the store, right? RFK Jr. is trying, trying to get, you know, food dyes, for example, eliminated from our food. And I guess the FDA has recently green-lighted the push to replace the chemical dyes with natural alternatives. But as you know, the wheels turn very slowly. So who knows when we’ll actually see, you know, beet powder being substituted for red 40 or whatever. It could take a while. It could be years. Who knows? But the obvious ones are things like fast food and soda and chips and crackers and processed meats and seed oils and whatever. all that stuff, like those found in the seed oils especially. Every single salad dressing that we eat has some kind of heinous seed oil in it. So we think we’re eating this healthy salad and then it turns out, you know, no, you’re killing yourself because it’s got, you know, sunflower oil in it or whatever. It’s so frustrating. And then we have the toxins in our personal care products, shampoo and body wash. which body wash is probably the worst because the skin is the largest organ on the body, and so we’re just slathering ourselves with all these chemicals. The skin creams and lotions and conditioners and our toothpaste and the deodorant that has aluminum in it, and the list goes on and on and on. You know it. The chemicals that we encounter just by cleaning our house, the window cleaner, the floor cleaners, furniture polish, the air fresheners, All of it, absolute poison. And did you ever think, I know that everybody knows that their water is chlorinated. The water that comes out of your tap has chlorine in it, right? We know this. Okay, I’m going to tell you a story here in a second. But the amount of chlorine and fluoride in our water would make your head spin. And we just kind of live with the thought of having a neurotoxin and a carcinogen in our water supply. And that should just tick everybody off to no end. This story, I saw a video a while back, quite a while, probably six, nine months or something. This woman was doing chlorine tests on her water, and it wasn’t just a test on her water. She was using test strips to test her water to see, you know, just what the level was. But then she put tap water into a glass and she put a test strip in it and she read very high chlorine levels, obviously, because we know that our tap water has chlorine levels. And we usually put our water through a filter or whatever. If you know, that’s what you do. My mom used to drink tap water. It used to drive me crazy. But then in this glass, so she puts the test strip in. It reads very high in chlorine. She takes the test strip out. She puts her hand in there. So she takes her whole hand in a fist, and she puts it down into the water, and she leaves her hand in there for about 10 seconds. She pulls her hand out. She puts another test strip in the water. And lo and behold, the chlorine was almost nothing. So where did the chlorine go? It went into her body through her skin. So we’re even poisoning ourselves every time we take a shower or wash our hands. So we’re trying to read labels. We’re trying to check for, you know, contains bioengineered food ingredients and I mean, heck, now we’re even checking for crickets and mealworms in our food. At least I am. We’re taking supplements by the dozens in hopes of reversing some of the damage that’s being caused by what we eat and what we put on our bodies and laundry detergent and everything else. And then we may or may not discover things like Soursop or Methylene Blue or ECGC, and those are becoming more popular as people, you know, kind of navigate and try to get a handle on their health and wellness. But when you jump down the rabbit hole of health and wellness, you will discover that our food is just the beginning. If you have a major health challenge that you’re dealing with, And that’s when you discover most of what I’m talking about. You want to do everything you can to optimize your health and to heal yourself, to enable your body to rejuvenate and to heal itself, as we were designed to do. You want to research everything so you can optimize yourself. And, you know, so you start researching, if nothing else, out of desperation, right? Because you want to find out what can I do for myself outside of the doctor’s office. So when you start researching things, you discover that the medical industrial complex and big pharma are literally hiding everything from you. You find supplements and procedures and these different kinds of complex herbs and other alternatives to taking pills. and you quickly discover an entire world of things that you never knew about. Yes, you’ll get some exercise, you’ll work out, you try to change your habits and not be so sedentary, and you take the standard supplements, maybe a multivitamin, and you read food labels and you try to avoid what you believe to be toxins, even though just for somebody to look at a bottle of salad dressing and say sunflower oil, well, that doesn’t sound toxic. It’s sunflower oil. It’s palm oil. What’s wrong with that? So you have to know these things, right? There are things that you can do, although maybe not proven by mainstream science, but you’re reading and learning about alternative medicine, why it works, and the more you research, the more sense it makes to you. So as you keep learning, you maybe start to read about grounding, right? Grounding is supposed to put your body in direct contact and in tune with the earth’s frequency and promote healing and overall wellness and sleep better and less joint pain and all kinds of stuff is related to grounding. And maybe you’ve heard about tuning forks or other frequency devices and how different frequencies can promote healing, even regeneration. There’s vibration plates. that are good for lymphatic drainage and mobility, and sometimes they can simulate exercise depending on the level that you put it at. You can go to a holistic practitioner and get things like hocket treatments. As a side note, there is something that I’ve recently learned that probably not many people know, and that is the frequency of fabric therapy. This is really interesting. And when we get back from our break, I’m going to read some things to you on the subject of fabric and the different frequencies that it can offer and what we might be doing to ourselves. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 02 : 27:26

SPEAKER 05 : 28:35

And we are back. So I was just talking about some different, I don’t know, alternative means of helping yourself and helping to promote healing and wellness and all that kind of stuff. And the subject of fabrics, I think, is sort of new. I mean, it’s new to me anyway. So I’ll just say that it’s new to me. And I found it very interesting. And I’m going to read something to you on the subject, and I’ll get back to this other stuff in just a minute. But first, I’m going to take Johnny. Johnny, what do you got for me?

SPEAKER 03 : 29:08

Okay. I’m reading this book. I think it’s called 80-10-10. And in this book, he talks about, and doctors, they either know this or they’re pretending that they don’t know it. So you’ve got diabetes, too. And they always tell you, don’t eat any fruit because it’ll put too much sugar in your body. But what the real thing is, eating fats, foods with fat in it, that diversely affects the body. And if you do, instead of, you know, decreasing fruit, increasing that and And I see a lot of these herbalist shows where they say, well, they reverse the diabetes. And I come out and say, well, how do they do that? And it’s just by doing the opposite of what the doctors tell you. Yeah, yeah. And that’s very scary. Yeah. And they know this, but a big farmer, they won’t make any money if they tell people because who would need insulin? Yep, yep.

SPEAKER 05 : 30:19

We’re going to get deep into that, too, in a few minutes here.

SPEAKER 03 : 30:23

Okay, and then one last thing. Okay, so I have my brother. He had a stroke in October. So they feed him through his stomach. They have him sort of like in this traumatic kind of thing. So then he comes out of it. Then my sister-in-law, instead of, because the body is, what, 70% water, instead of feeding him foods that have liquid in it, she goes back to the SAD diet, sausages, eggs, pancakes. no vegetables at all, and then he declines again. And I said, they gave me a window where you could do something different, but instead you go back to the sad guy that probably got him into this condition in the first place.

SPEAKER 05 : 31:08

Right. Yep. Yep.

SPEAKER 03 : 31:10

It’s just very frustrating.

SPEAKER 05 : 31:12

Yeah, it is frustrating. And what’s more frustrating is that the medical industrial complex, which I’m going to, like I said, I’m going to talk about here in a minute, is is keeping all this stuff from us, and it’s maddening and should institute a revolt. Thank you for your call, Johnny. I appreciate it. God bless. So the concept of fabric frequencies suggests that different materials vibrate at different frequencies. And as we all know, or maybe you don’t know, we all, everything has a frequency, everything. This computer in front of me, obviously, these books above my head right now have a frequency to them. And this can impact human energy and well-being. Natural fabrics like linen and wool are believed to have higher frequencies, potentially promoting health while synthetic fabrics like polyester have lower frequencies, which might not be as beneficial. A study conducted by Dr. Heidi Yellen in 2003 suggested that a healthy human body has a frequency of 100, while fabrics also possess frequencies. Linen and wool, for example, were found to have frequencies of 5,000, whereas polyester had a frequency of 10,000. according to a blog on Salts and West clothing. So the theory proposes that fabrics with higher frequencies can enhance well-being while those with lower frequencies might be energetically draining. Example of fabric frequencies. So we have linen, which is 5,000 hertz. Wool is 5,000 hertz. Organic cotton is 3,500 hertz. Conventional cotton, 2,500 hertz. Silk is 5,000 hertz and polyester is 10 hertz. So synthetic fabrics like polyester often associated with lower frequencies potentially leading to negative energy impacts. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are believed to have higher frequencies, which can be beneficial for energy and well-being. And then, of course, it gives a caution. It’s important to note that the concept of fabric frequencies is not scientifically mainstream and is often considered part of alternative or complementary medicine practices. I love how they put that in there as if it’s a bad thing. You know, they do all this stuff on purpose. It kind of makes me insane. But I guess the big takeaway here is that everything is poison, pretty much. Our food, our water, our air, our soil, our clothing even. You just can’t escape it. And unless you have a bunch of extra money, you have no choice. And I’m going to get to the money part here in a second and kind of the knowledge part. But if you’re on a fixed income, which I never really understood the term fixed income, aren’t most people on a fixed income, meaning they work and they get a paycheck and then the paycheck doesn’t really change unless they get a raise? Most people live paycheck to paycheck. So in actuality, it should be called low fixed income, right? as in people on disability or those who receive Social Security benefits, and those are people maybe on welfare and collecting food stamps or SNAP benefits or whatever. And trust me, they don’t buy organic and shop the perimeter like we’re always supposed to, right? I can assure you of that. But if you’re on a fixed income, then you really have no choice, right? Take a good vibration plate, for example. I don’t know if you guys have researched vibration plates, but if you’re dealing with anything chronic or cancerous or whatever, look into a vibration plate, and you will see. I mean, you can get them cheaper if you consider $200 cheap, but they can run as much as $3,000. They can run as much as $7,000. And we have a red light system. a red light system that has a frequency built into it. So it produces red light, infrared light. I have, we have one that’s got a violet light on it and it produces a frequency and you can set the frequencies for different things. And we bought this book that has these different frequencies for whatever kind of illness. I mean, the book is like an inch and a half thick and it’s full of frequencies. And that system that we bought was $4,700. We got a grounding mat that And pillowcases, those were $400. And we got linen sheets, and those were $130. And then all the supplements, including, you know, the cell signaling supplement that we drink called ASEA, which alone is $450 a month. My husband’s concierge naturopathic doctor is $2,500 a year. And all of his treatments that he goes to, $175 to $250 each. I’m talking thousands and thousands of dollars. And doing the math, on average, we spent about $1,800 per month last year on just the extra healthy things that we’ve added to our lives and stuff to help with health and wellness and recovery and healing and all that stuff. And we’re blessed that we can do all this, but people of limited means are just stuck. they’re stuck with whatever their insurance happens to cover, which, as you know, is just what the medical industrial complex has to offer and what insurance agrees to pay for. So those two things right there are, you know, that’s kind of a kink in everything, you know, in terms of, like Johnny was saying, just you have to go with what they tell you to go with, and it could send you backwards in your health. And what the medical industrial complex will pay for is usually heinous drugs that make you sicker, pills and more pills, and then pills to counter the pills that you’re already taking, which results in a need for different pills. And then there’s that vaccine, that vaccine that 99% of mainstream doctors seem to be pushing, even to this day, that’s killing so many people and maiming people and making them unable to work and all kinds of stuff. And you guys have heard me rant a lot about that. But the bottom line is that many people can’t afford to eat certified organic everything. They can’t afford to buy only pasture-raised chickens and eggs and grass-fed beef and wild-caught Alaskan salmon or halibut or a reverse osmosis system for their drinking water, which is another thousand dollars for a small one. Not everyone has the money to shop at natural grocers or an online retailer to buy their natural organic cleaning products or personal care products. That stuff is expensive. Expensive supplements, specialized equipment, or concierge doctors all cost a lot of money, and it’s all out of pocket. Of course, insurance is not going to cover that. They’re not going to cover your hocket treatment or your ozone blood transfusion. Are you kidding me? Which the stuff that actually helps is not going to be covered. It’s only the stuff that’s going to make you sicker that’s going to be covered by insurance. People will just do what their mainstream doctor tells them to do while continuing to eat the garbage that we all know is slowly killing everyone. just as an example of how expensive some supplements are. And so, you know, people start with little bites of information, you know, that you might hear like, oh, this is good for that. Or, you know, you might start your research and then you go out to find this supplement and you’re like, holy cow, I can’t afford that. So black cumin seed. I’m sure you guys have all heard of black cumin seed. It’s touted as being able to cure everything but death I don’t know if you guys have heard that before, but that’s what they say. That’s what the ancients say, that it can cure everything but death. At natural grocers, a bottle of concentrated black seed oil, which is like 3% concentration or whatever in these capsules, it’s nearly $50 for a bottle of this stuff, for one small little, you know, just like a normal supplement bottle. It’s insane. And my husband and I were even talking yesterday about cooking oil. And he saw that we should avoid avocado and olive oil when we’re cooking. Raw, yes. Drizzle it over your salads, sure. But to cook with it, you know, supposedly these are the best oils in the world, and avocado oil is the greatest thing for cooking, and it’s the best for you. But the higher the temperature goes on these oils, which is obviously what you need to cook in them, that oil turns into a cocktail of rancid poison. And we’ve discovered through extensive seeking and searching that we should only be cooking with beef tallow or grass-fed butter. Those two, period, end of list. Now, rendering tallow is not hard to do. And I don’t know if I’ve told you guys that I kind of – found myself rendering tallow, I wanted to start making skin products with tallow and had a hiccup and couldn’t find a bulk supply of cod fat that I needed to use for tallow that requires the least amount of cleaning. And, you know, that’s a whole other story in and of itself, but it’s not hard. And you can also go to a natural food store and buy jars of tallow. But again, it’s not cheap. And if you’re planning on cooking with tallow or deep frying in tallow or whatever, which everybody should be doing, you know, you’re going to pay for that. But again, not everyone has the time, the money, or the inclination to render their own tallow or to buy expensive grass-fed butter to cook with. Most people still cook with vegetable oil or canola oil. Because that’s the thing. That’s what you do. Remember the Mazzola, the big giant jugs of corn oil, and that’s what we used to deep fry in and that kind of thing? And here’s the hard truth. You can have all the money in the world to try to heal yourself and to do everything that you can do. You could be a billionaire, right? But unless you know about the alternative treatments that are out there and the alternative supplements and the herbs and all the red light and all the pocket and vibration plates and all the stuff that I mentioned, none of this talk about expensive grounding mats even matters. If you don’t know that it’s there, then you don’t know what to get. And this is how it stands right now. Here’s a little tiny bit of insight on why things are the way they are with regard to our health and our healthcare industry. And this audio that Luke’s going to play for you is going to be kind of an eye-opener and kind of speaks to what I’ve been talking about. Check this out.

SPEAKER 01 : 43:12

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not possible. Lifestyle choices play a significant role in the development and progression of most chronic diseases. This means that an individual’s choices could be pivotal in the prevention and possibly the reversal of chronic disease. Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and even several autoimmune conditions are all reversible. with just diet and lifestyle modifications. The problem is our modern medical system does not teach doctors how to reverse chronic diseases with diet and lifestyle changes. They are taught to treat the symptoms of chronic diseases with pharmaceuticals. That is the model of our medical system. How do I know this? Because most medical schools don’t even require students to take a single course on nutrition. If you are living with one of these diseases, know that there is hope for reversal. Do not give up hope and do not let a doctor tell you that your only option is pharmaceutical medication.

SPEAKER 05 : 44:16

So, yeah, and this is what is kind of the crux of everything. This is the problem. This is why Big Pharma is such a corrupt institution. They purposely keep this information hidden so the average Joe can’t access it. You can guarantee that anyone in government or big banking or Big Pharma or whatever, they’re using all the best stuff. all the best stuff. They probably don’t take their own medications and their own chemo and all their own stuff. They’ve probably got access to stuff that we’ve never even heard of before, right? And most people don’t know where to even start. And you obviously have to start somewhere. So if you’re dealing with some kind of a chronic issue, I strongly suggest that you Start researching. Go to places like, I know this sounds crazy, but go to places like Instagram or search stuff on DuckDuckGo or some other place that’s not going to censor things, and you will find these kinds of things. You can find naturopathic doctors that will give you some insight and all that stuff. If you search Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, you’re going to find stuff, but you won’t find it all because they censor it. If a video starts to blow up on any of those platforms and it’s regarding a subject like alternative medicine, they’ll take it down. And if people have had great success with, you know, Soursop or, you know, oxygen therapy like hydrogen peroxide, 35% food grade, you know, hydrogen peroxide to oxygenate the blood, that kind of thing, they’ll take it down. Because it’s not science. It’s not proven science. Fauci didn’t approve it, so therefore, you know, you shouldn’t take it. And it’s all by design. I’ve said it before. They don’t want you healthy. If everyone on the face of the earth was healthy and well and only ever died of old age because their little bodies just simply wore out, nobody would have a need for big pharma or medicine in general, and the entire industry would cease to exist. And they can’t have that. President Trump did just announce that drug prices are to be reduced by 59%, as well as decrease in grocery and gas prices. So, okay, that’s okay. I guess we’ll be able to obtain all the poisoned food and the pharmaceuticals for less of our fake money. Yay. I think this administration is doing all that it can right now to help the American people to… I don’t know, to help with stuff. RFK Jr. is doing everything in his power, I think, to fix the health care system and the food industry. But it’s slow going, and it’ll take years, years that the good guys may or may not have, if they’re even good guys. So I don’t know. It remains to be seen. So I’ve got Sandra on the line. Sandra, what do you got for me?

SPEAKER 04 : 47:21

Miss Karen, I was just talking to my girlfriend on Whidbey Island today. She renders beef to the tallow, and she adds cream and lavender oil and makes a face cream.

SPEAKER 05 : 47:35

Yep, that’s what I do, too. It’s, yeah, I render it, and then I soften it and whip it, and I add, like, ylang-ylang or… Yep, all the essential oils. Frankincense is really good for your skin. So, yeah, that’s all we use now.

SPEAKER 04 : 47:50

Yeah, I love it. Hey, just wanted to let you know that, gosh, timing is perfect. Thank you for all you do. God bless you, Karen. God bless you, too. Thank you.

SPEAKER 05 : 48:01

So, yeah, it remains to be seen if we have enough time for RFK Jr. to actually implement all the stuff that he wants to implement. But you never know. None of this may matter because we may become extinct just from lack of oxygen. I just read this headline this morning from the Climate Depot. It says, is an oxygen shortage going to replace the climate scare? Farewell to oxygen on planet Earth. NASA scientists predict Earth’s atmosphere will lose its ability to sustain life. Photosynthesis will collapse as CO2 declines. Isn’t that something? The article says that in a billion years, the Earth won’t be able to sustain complex life. So you can go ahead and proceed with your dinner plans tonight. I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon, but It’s just so ironic to me, though, that the climate alarmist lunatics have been screeching for so long and so loud for so many years about CO2 levels being the end of the world that they failed to consider that plants need CO2 to live and to perform photosynthesis. And the article also says that the sun’s rays will get more intense as they have, and for hundreds of years, and that’s going to go on, and those intense increased sun’s rays will alter CO2 molecules to such a degree that plants won’t be able to use them. So that’s, you know, like I said, it’s a little ways off for sure. And then also I read another article today that I’m going to read to you because I think it’s pretty interesting, and one thing that I did not mention was plastics. Now, everybody, like you can’t drink tap water, so you’ve got to drink bottled water, okay? And bottled water is just as bad, just in a different way. It says here, this is from The Guardian, plastics and everyday objects may disrupt sleep in the same way as caffeine study finds. So this is just about sleep, but we know that microplastics are terrible for us anyway. But it says, chemicals in everyday plastics may disrupt the body’s natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythm in a way similar to coffee, which increases the risk of sleep disorders, diabetes, immune problems, and cancer. New in vitro research shows. The study looked at chemicals extracted from a PVC medical feeding tube and a polyurethane hydration pouch like those used by long-distance runners. PVC and polyurethanes are also used in everything from kids’ toys to food packaging to furniture. The findings showed for the first time how plastic chemicals probably wreak havoc on cell signals that regulate the body’s internal clock, throwing it off by up to 17 minutes. The internal clock is incredibly important for physiology and overall health. Though more research is needed to know the precise consequences of exposure, said Martin Wagner, a study co-author and plastic chemical researcher with the Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology. The study adds to the increasing body of evidence that plastics contain compounds that cause a wide range of toxic effects. The authors wrote in a peer-reviewed study published in Environmental International. A fundamental shift in the design and production of plastics is essential to ensure their safety. The circadian rhythm is the molecular clock that regulates alertness and tiredness in relation to daylight and the dark. Shifting rhythms are linked to increases in the risk of obesity, dementia, and cardiovascular disease, among other issues. Research into plastic chemical toxicity most often focuses on how chemicals like, I don’t know how to say this word, P-H-T-H-A-L-A-T-E-S. Phthalates, is that how you say that? The T is silent. I don’t know. Phthalates and bisphenol impact the endocrine system and hormone-related effects, which can take years to manifest. The new paper looked for an impact through a different biological pathway cells. It checked for adverse effects on the adenosine receptor, which is a key component in cellular control of the internal clock that takes part in relaying signals that regulate circadian rhythm. The biological process of how the plastic chemicals affect the body is similar to caffeine, and its effect on the circadian rhythm and indices Eidosine receptor. Caffeine deactivates the eidosine receptor, thus increasing the circadian rhythm and keeping us awake. The plastic chemicals activate the eidosine receptor, but also have a similar effect in keeping us awake. The receptor is in the brain and sends signals to the body that say the sun is coming up, let’s start the day. But when the adenosine receptor is activated by the chemicals, it may not relay the message. delaying the body’s natural physiological processes while the process while the chemicals are not as potent as caffeine their impact on the cellular process happens much more quickly than plastics impacts on hormones what this means for body for the body is unclear but it’s probably not good we don’t know the significance of it and you could say oh it’s just 15 minutes it’s not that big of a deal but it’s such a tightly controlled clock that it’s a significant shift he added The study was done in vitro, meaning on human cells in a lab, and Wagner said the next step was to look at how the chemicals affect zebrafish, which have some similar physiological processes in their brains to humans. Future research will also look into which chemicals in plastic and PVC are affecting the sleep-wake cycle. PVC can contain any of 8,000 chemicals, some of which are not intentionally added but are byproducts of the production process. So the material is incredibly complex and difficult to manage. The findings of each study will be used to pressure lawmakers to enact regulations and to try to convince industry to remove the chemicals from the plastic, which this article itself says that you can’t regulate them because you don’t even know that they’re there. You don’t even know what they are. It’s just these byproducts and everything else. So Chemicals, chemicals, chemicals. And we just can’t escape it. So do your research. Find some great information out there to try to make yourself healthier in this increasingly toxic world that we live in.
