An Idyllic Enclave in California, and a Mysterious Cancer Problem
Beige Luciano-Adams

*** begin quote ***

LADERA RANCH, Calif.—In 2019, Kara Bell began firing off a series of emails to her homeowners association, hoping to find out what kind of herbicides gardeners were using on the many sports fields, pocket parks, and schools that pepper the hillside community of Ladera Ranch, a private enclave in the southeastern corner of unincorporated Orange County.

*** end quote ***

Hard to imagine being lulled to “sleep” only to be “awakened” by being in a “cancer cluster”.  Can’t imaging the reaction of husbands, fathers, mothers, parents, and just plain old ordinary folks.  Time to get out the pitchforks and torches.  In this case, there is a litany of “bad guys” —  the landscaping company, the HOA, the Gooferment’s Gooferment Skrules (i.e., they should be very very interested in ANY chemical used around on their grounds and especially sports fields), and let’s not forget the “Skrule Board” of highly paid politicians and bureaucrats, the many City, County, State, and Federal “regulators”.  Argh!   I suggest that all “Skrule Board” meeting be held in and on the freshly spray “sports” fields; wonder if the politicians and bureaucrats would be then very interested in what they were sitting on —  other than their own arses!

Argh!

HEALTH: Shingles is one of the most under-discussed adult health threats

Thursday, August 20, 2026

Look what showed up in my email. This is the doctor that pushes a plant based diet. (I try but I fail all the time.) I’ve had his books around. (Lent out, forgot to who, never returned, Argh!) I think he is really excellent since he cites his references for the advice he gives (i.e., his gold standard is double-blind placebo-controlled trials; all the way down the scale to case reports). If I was KING, I’d make him Health Secrtary. (But then, I’d have put Judge Judy and Judge Napolitano on SCOTUS too.). I plan to listen to what he has to say. He’s the reason I got the Shingles Vax way back when based on his recommendation. (It’s also the reason I ignore the Flu vaxes!)

Dear Friend,

 

Shingles is one of the most under-discussed adult health threats—despite a lifetime risk approaching one in three. It can cause blindness, trigger strokes, and result in a debilitating nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia) that can linger for years. What does the evidence say about this painful condition? In this 1.5-hour live webinar starting at 2:00pm ET on Thursday, August 27, 2026, I’ll cover preventing shingles, treating an active outbreak, and using diet and natural topical treatments to relieve postherpetic neuralgia and long-term nerve pain in general. Highlights include a discussion of how Big Pharma misleads the public about vaccine efficacy and step-by-step instructions to make my B-CALM Oil recipe for neuropathic pain.

Everyone registered for the webinar will receive a recording.

HEALTH: What else but the covid “clot shot” could be responsible?

Saturday, August 1, 2026

International Study Finds 75% of Embalmers Observed White Fibrous Clots in Corpses

Former Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association President Christopher Calvey Jr., former Air Force Major Thomas Haviland, and embalmer Richard Hirschman joined me to discuss the now-widespread reports of anomalous white fibrous clots being recovered from human corpses.

Haviland recently published the results of a four-year international survey involving 808 embalmers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Indeed, what else?

Could this be the reason for all the fatalities and strange symptoms?

HEALTH: Be aware of government policy failures that adversely affect your life and loved ones

Sunday, June 21, 2026

https://www.malone.news/p/the-absurdity-of-public-health?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=583200&post_id=197494819&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

The Absurdity of Public Health
Serving power, not the public
Dr. Robert W. Malone
May 13, 2026

 

 

 

*** begin quote ***

The fixation on backyard chickens, raw milk, masking rituals, playground closures, or endlessly sanitized consumer guidance is not primarily about reducing the largest drivers of disease and death. If it were, public health agencies would spend far more time confronting the catastrophic consequences of ultra-processed food, metabolic dysfunction, pharmaceutical overprescribing, hospital-acquired infections, sedentary lifestyles, environmental toxicity, and the economic incentives that quietly fuel chronic disease.

But those are structurally difficult problems. They implicate large institutions, politically connected industries, government policy failures, and decades of bureaucratic complicity.

*** end quote ***

It would seem that until “We, The Sheeple” recognize that “court intellectuals” are just Gooferment propaganda dressed up in a white coat of a doctor or scientist.  

How can they DEMAND health improvements in the things that cause real harm?

It seems to me that honest measurements taken by real people are the answer.

Where did we find the honest answers about the clot shot?  The morticians reporting long fiberous coagulated blood clots in the dead. The few honest doctors who were silenced for calling <synonym for excrement from a male cow> on masks and social 6’ distancing that were lessons from the Spanish Flu Epidemic.  Bloggers, podcasters, and individuals  who reported and tracked data.

Argh!

And, what did we get from the Gooferment?  Misinformation, disinformation, and wealth transfer from the poor and middle class to Big Pharma, politicians, and bureaucrats.

Argh!

We have to focus on the results that we can see:  almost everyone’s obese, real food if available is hideously expensive, illegal immigration is draining resources, welfare is creating a fourth generation of “welfare farmers”,  crime is out of control with many relating offenders, and —  by the way —  children can’t read or do simple math. 

So we have to start holding politicians and bureaucrats accountable for results; not promises.

Argh!

HEALTH: So “cleaner is always healthier” maybe wrong?

Tuesday, June 9, 2026

https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/germany-and-canada-go-full-1984-daily#media-952f1a95-a0d6-46d7-bcfd-b53aaf8f7e66

*** begin quote ***

STORY #3 – A remarkable experiment in Finland is challenging one of modern parenting’s biggest assumptions: that cleaner is always healthier.

Researchers transformed sterile daycare yards into miniature forests filled with soil, moss, plants, and natural ground cover. Within weeks, children’s immune systems were already showing measurable improvements.

A year later, they had healthier skin and gut microbiomes, fewer potentially harmful bacteria, and stronger immune defenses than children playing on asphalt, gravel, and rubber surfaces.

The lesson is surprisingly simple: the microbes children encounter in nature may be helping protect their health, not threatening it.

Turns out, our ancestors were right all along.

Watch Maria’s report and see why this simple experiment is making people rethink what a healthy childhood should look like.

Yup, I used play in the park that had like a forest attached.  Not sure if helped, but I can’t imagine it my allergies were worse.

HEALTH: An “upper respiratory sinus infection” is nothing to ignore

Thursday, June 4, 2026

How pneumonia progresses to sepsis: Doctors explain after Kyle Busch’s death

  • NASCAR star’s sinus infection reportedly worsened into pneumonia before triggering life-threatening sepsis

Melissa Rudy
Published May 23, 2026 3:04pm EDT

*** begin quote ***

In severe cases, the infection in the lungs can spread into the bloodstream, triggering a widespread, life-threatening inflammatory response known as sepsis — particularly in vulnerable patients or when treatment is delayed, according to Siegel.

Sepsis can quickly lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death if not treated right away.

*** and ***

Doctors emphasize that sepsis is a medical emergency because patients can deteriorate rapidly within hours.

Those at higher risk for severe pneumonia and sepsis include older adults and smokers, as well as those with chronic lung disease, diabetes, weakened immune systems or recent viral infections.

*** end quote ***

Apparently, no one recognized the potential seriousness of an “upper respiratory sinus infection”.

It would seem that before that infection gets to the lungs, us old farts should get to the doc before an ER visit is necessary.  Heaven forbid, you need to be hospitalized.  Better to be extra careful around a potentially deadly disease.

For all those that say “I’ll never be in a racing simulator!”.  I’d remind everyone that roller coasters, minor car accidents, and falls can result in the same shock.

Forewarned is forearmed.

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.” – Buddha

HEALTH: Mississippi has outlawed lab-grown dairy products, including fake milk

Monday, May 4, 2026

https://johnklar.substack.com/p/mississippi-bans-fake-milk-to-support?publication_id=779141&post_id=195486026&isFreemail=true&r=3vwsqx&triedRedirect=true

Mississippi Bans Fake Milk to Support Human Health and Farmers

  • Promoting cows and rural culture, not globalist venture capitalists.

John Klar
Apr 30, 2026

*** begin quote ***

The giveaway is that not one of the three “justifications” is true. The “animal welfare” argument ignores that, as cows are replaced with factory fabrications, they do not retire to green pastures but to abattoirs. Will cows eventually only be seen in a zoo? The “climate change” argument is baseless – cows sequester more carbon dioxide and methane in soil with their manure than they emit; that manure is replaced with synthetic fertilizers, especially urea, which is made from natural gas (aka methane). Manure builds soils; chemicals deplete them. And the “human health” argument goes out the window quickly. While many people are lactose intolerant, faux milk is not as healthful as the real deal and is just another chemical-laced processed replacement for farmers and their bovine charges.

*** end quote ***

Sigh!  Is nothing sacred?

First off, Michael Greger M.D. writes that even real milk has problems ❶.  It’s meant for transforming calves into big cows. Not something humans should be doing without good reason.

Second, why do we keep experimenting on the ENTIRE human race when we really don’t know <synonym for excrement> about ourselves, our physical body, or chemistry.  Notice the fake milk hasn’t undergone any multi-generational safety studies.  Remember Thalidomide. ❷ 

Third, why would humanity accept yet another “scientific miracle” without some solid reasons.  Just so some  Big Corporation can make big bucks.

So, no “fake milk”, “plant based milk”, or “mike from roaches” for me.

Of course, as a little L libertarian, you can do what ever you feel is in your best interests that doesn’t use force on our fellow humans.

I’d urge a lot of caution, every time, someone comes along with a “great idea”.

Argh!

HEALTH: Left-Handedness Into a Bad Thing?

Saturday, February 21, 2026

https://www.mentalfloss.com/language/hidden-bias-left-handedness-bad-thing

The Hidden Bias in Language That Turned Left-Handedness Into a Bad Thing: While the days of forcing left-handed children to use their right hands are mostly over, the bias against lefties continues in most languages around the world. The word “sinister” literally means “left.” From Latin roots to modern idioms, language has been quietly slandering lefties for centuries. (Mental Floss)

# – # – # – # – #

I was lefty before Katholick Skrule beat me out of it.

Wonder how that impacted me?

Too long ago to know much and all the folks in my family have long passed.

Time to invoke my “one year rule” —  Less than a year ago, admit mistakes may have been made; more than a year ago, it’s history, immutable, forget about it.

HEALTH: If pigs and rats will not touch it and it can’t rot … … why should humans?

Monday, December 8, 2025

https://johnklar.substack.com/p/what-pigs-and-rats-taught-me-about?publication_id=779141&post_id=179717459&isFreemail=true&r=3vwsqx&triedRedirect=true

What pigs and rats taught me about human snack food

  • You are what you eat….

John Klar
Small Farm Republic
Nov 27, 2025

*** begin quote ***

As an experiment, I left a rejected pink Snoball on the floor in one of the pigs’ stalls. I would shovel up their manure and bedding daily, but leave the half-round pink dainty to tempt them on the concrete floor. But they wouldn’t bite. (I recall one brave, presumably very hungry pig taking a nibble, no more.)

With all that grain, bread, hay, and sweets stockpiled, we attracted a small population of rats that I would sic my border collies on when we startled them on barn entry. The rats would creep into the pigs’ stalls to scavenge for their leftovers. But they wouldn’t touch that pink Snoball.

Nor would the flies. I left the thing out for weeks, and nothing would eat it. Over time, it remained preserved, as though it had been prehistorically sealed in amber, though it was in the open air. It wouldn’t rot – even the mold and bacteria eschewed the rubbery marshmallow lure.

*** end quote ***

I have a suggestion for RFKjr and the CDC / FDA (aka Big Pharma advocates).  Let’s create a new simple test for foods, additives, and chemicals.  I call it the “Pig, Rat, and Mold” test. 

(Remember the Big Mac that was untouched by age?)

A panel of pigs, rats, and molds will be introduced to a proposed food.  If they won’t eat it, or it unfortunately kills, them, then it’s stamped “Unfit For Consumption” and treated like an industrial poison.

No expensive study required.

If BigAg is convinced the pigs are wrong, then they can fund the studies to prove that. Laugh!  I can see the ads now: “9 out of 10 pigs agree, this is inedible.  Be unique and be a early adopter!”

Argh!

HEALTH: A Missing Link Between Concussion and Alzheimer’s?

Neuroscience
A Missing Link Between Concussion and Alzheimer’s
Viruses may play a surprising part
By Katharine Gammon January 27, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Itzhaki says in the future she wants to look into how to interrupt the damaging processes that unfold following traumatic brain injuries, such as those suffered in soccer, boxing, and football. She is aiming to test antivirals and other medications to reduce the inflammation caused by viruses that could be reactivated after a brain injury.

Though they are far from a perfect proxy, brain organoids will help her and others to continue this work.

*** end quote ***

This is interesting to me in that Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that robs people of memories and condemns them to an expensive end of life disaster.

Even football’s NFL, the NFPL, and individual players are recognizing the risk of the “sport”.  

Boxing should be restricted because we’ve seen the effect.  Muhammed Ali is the poster child for the damage.  There has to be a more civilized way to have this sport made safer.

Hopefully there will be a cure before too many more are lost.
