HEALTH: Apple’s cheapest Watch just saved another life

“Needless to say I called my doctor and was told to get to the emergency room immediately” — Apple’s cheapest Watch just saved another life
By Stephen Warwick

  • You don’t need the best to stay safe.

*** begin quote ***

Apple’s cheapest wearable has just been credited with saving another life, proving you don’t have to buy the best Apple Watch on the market to benefit from life-saving tech yet again. 

User V3N0M0US83 took to the Apple Watch Subreddit this week and revealed “Apple Watch saved my life this past weekend.” “I have an SE 2 and Thursday my watch had gone off saying my heart rate was above 120 bpm,” they explained. The user ignored the alerts “as I didn’t feel any discomfort,” but got two more heart rate alerts while sitting at the kitchen table the following day. 

“I opened the heart rate app and my bpm was at 161 while resting.” The user’s girlfriend, a medical assistant in training, gave their heart a listen with a stethoscope “and said my heart was beating out of my chest.” Turns out, they needed life-saving treatment. 

*** end quote ***

My afib was detected by my apple watch and the cardiologist didn’t believe it.  The episode evidently was intermittent.  He wired me up with 73 hour monitor.  Then next day he called me into the office and started me on a drug regimen.  

It was afib. 

Even on drugs I get a warning that the “afib is less than 2%”.  He says that is ok, but don’t stop the medicine or lose the watch.

So, it doesn’t have to be the best apple watch to get this feature, but it could save your life.  Afib causes heart attacks, strokes, and all sorts of other “lesser problems”.  It’s a cheap tool.  And, I can confirm the efficacy of it. 

YMMV but I am a believer.

HEALTH: What is the impact of blood supply contamination?

Tuesday, June 4, 2024

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/05/27/blood-supply-contamination.aspx?ui=f9839516412491bb1e06c9e47058c6fb81b9b9b6acedf03e65e93dfdb263c1b9&sd=20210317&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20240527&foDate=false&mid=DM1578458&rid=32254691

Researchers Call for Urgent Action to Address Mass Contamination of Blood Supply
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
May 27, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

Story at-a-glance

  •     Japanese researchers warn of the risks of using blood from mRNA COVID vaccine recipients, highlighting potential deadly effects and the need for urgent action to secure the global blood supply
  •     Blood contaminated with prion-like structures from the spike protein raises the risk of inducing fatal neurodegenerative diseases in recipients. The potential transmission of harmful proteins through exosomes (“shedding”) and the risk of autoimmune diseases due to the vaccines’ mechanism and components like lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are other major concerns
  •     Proposals for managing blood collection include rigorous donor interviews, deferral periods, and a suite of tests to ensure the safety of blood products
  •     The researchers advocate for comprehensive testing of both jabbed and unjabbed individuals to assess the safety of blood products and suggest discarding blood products contaminated with spike proteins or modified mRNA until effective removal methods have been developed
  •     They call for suspending all gene-based “vaccines” and conducting a rigorous harm-benefit assessment in light of the serious health injuries reported. They also urge countries and organizations to take concrete steps to address and mitigate the already identified risks

*** end quote ***

Looks like we have not heard the end of the impact of the COVID MRNA “vaccine”.  Reminds me of thalidomide where there were terrible second generation birth defects from pregnant women who too the drug.  When will humanity learn not to conduct mass experiments with untested “stuff”.  That can be drugs, diets, or even “ideas” like memes.  I see a big correlation between AIDS, thalidomide, and “socialism / communism”.  All giant society wide experiments with terrible impacts.

HEALTH: Why can’t we use the Amish as a “control group”?

Thursday, May 9, 2024

https://sharylattkisson.com/2024/05/the-verdict-is-in-the-amish-approach-to-covid-was-superior-2/?vgo_ee=h3CVXY2Rsw1eCUV9Fgmm%2BkEtH8zVLtsVvf5yc%2BHf7Co%3D%3A77PJPPB5Djc0Aj7xhvoEoMy%2FG6Z2rqcF

The Verdict is In: The Amish Approach to Covid was Superior
By Sharyl Attkisson | May 1, 2024

  • So why don’t our public health officials seem interested?

*** begin quote ***

It could be one of the most important lessons learned for the next pandemic. And it should make international headlines.

But it seems like those who made the mistakes during Covid aren’t very interested.

The Amish population that largely rejected public health recommendations fared no worse in terms of health impact than the rest of the country that masked, isolated, and vaccinated. That’s according to available data and a federally-funded study that attempted to evaluate the Amish approach.

These findings imply the US could have avoided experimental vaccines that have serious side effects; and circumvented costly shutdowns that devastated the economy, travel, businesses, mental health, and education at the expense of trillions of US tax dollars.

*** end quote ***

The Amish quickly demonstrated that the US “Health Establishment” were full of <synonym for excrement>!

With this powerful piece of evidence, why were all the politicians and bureaucrats reluctant to revise their faulty thinking about this “PLAN DEMIC”?

Cui Bono?

Argh!

HEALTH: Novo Nordisk stops making Levemir

Utah mom fights for her daughter’s access to discontinued diabetes medication: ‘Life-saving’

  • Family found the ‘ideal’ drug for managing diabetes — then it was abruptly discontinued

By Melissa Rudy Fox News
Published April 19, 2024 5:00am EDT 

*** begin quote ***

Smart has now made it her mission to convince Novo Nordisk to continue making Levemir — or to find a pharmaceutical company to create a biosimilar (generic) alternative.

Levemir is a long-acting basal insulin that’s injected once or twice a day to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes, according to Novo Nordisk’s website.

For Smart’s daughter, an active athlete who plays on the tennis team at Woods Cross High School, Levemir has enabled her to continue with her regular activities while controlling her diabetes.

While there are a couple of other types of basal insulin on the market, Smart said Levemir is best suited to her daughter’s needs.

“Levemir is unique in that it is a relatively shorter-acting basal insulin, making it ideal for those with fluctuating basal insulin needs, including teenagers, menstruating women, pregnant women and athletes,” she said.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t Novo Nordisk’s decision make Levemir an “orphan drug”?

If it’s not worthy of the Federal Gooferment’s support, then at least it should become unpatentable and free to generic makers.

I don’t understand how patent and copyright holder can hold things “hostage” and still get “protection”?

Sorry, society’s grant of these privileges is subject to them being made reasonably available.

IMHO 

Argh!

Gooferment is always at the root of problems.

HEALTH: Social Media Posts Are Sometimes Dangerous to your health and

Caulfield: Your Overly Brief Social Media Posts Are Sometimes Dangerous
Dr. Byram W. Bridle
Mar 7, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Wow, I have responded to some public requests to address questions about social media posts made by Canadian ‘misinformation’ ‘expert’ Timothy Caulfield, and now I find myself flooded with more requests. And I can’t help but respond to yet another one because the amount of potential harm to the public is too great.

*** and ***

These many nuances place the overtly short and simple comments in the X post into a much more appropriate context, don’t they?

The most important message to all readers: do not take the study that was indirectly referred to in Caulfield’s post, nor the post itself as evidence of safety or effectiveness of COVID-19 shots.

*** end quote ***

This expert really puts Timothy Caulfield in his place as a  “misinformation expert” in a long precision point but point critique.

When I read the reporting on the 217 vaxer, I dismissed it as a “mentally ill” individual.  

And, when the media tried to use it as an exemplar of anything but mental illness, I thought “agenda driven reporting”.

But, when I read point by point critique Dr. Byram W. Bridle, I was impressed that there was a fellow who no only knew his stuff but could write it in a way that even a fat old white guy retired injineer could understand it.

In short, as Michael Malice says: ““… factual but not truthful.” — Michael Malice @michaelmalice.

There a lot of factoids pitched in the tweet and follow up stories, but the truth is in the critique.

In short, don’t get your medical facts from Social Media.

Unless you too are “mentally ill” with a death wish.

Argh!

HEALTH: Alzheimer’s disease causd by medical drugs after decades

Wednesday, February 7, 2024

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jan/alzheimers-disease-acquired-historic-medical-treatments?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter

Alzheimer’s disease acquired from historic medical treatments
29 January 2024

*** begin quote ***

First known instance of transmitted Alzheimer’s disease observed; condition in five patients linked to childhood infusions of human growth hormone sourced from tainted cadavers, seeding misfolded proteins which led to Alzheimer’s decades later 

*** end quote ***

Here we have evidence of Unintended Consequences of a medical treatment that has not stood the test of time.

Like Thalidomide, which took generations to show its ill effects, new “stuff” needs to be “time tested” with a increase emphasis on “risk acceptance”.

HEALTH: These novel white fibrous clots are killing people and the FDA / CDC are ignoring them

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/embalmer-survey-2023-over-75-are?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=548354&post_id=140562149&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=onvra&utm_medium=email

Embalmer survey 2023: Over 75% are still seeing novel white fibrous clots

  • These clots were NEVER seen before COVID and the COVID vaccines. The CDC isn’t interested in investigating. After all, it’s only in around 20% of cases or around 600,000 Americans. No big deal.

Steve Kirsch  —  Jan 10, 2024

*** begin quote ***

The good news is that in 2023, just 20% of cases had these novel clots, down from 30% in 2022.

The CDC and FDA are still ignoring this. They still don’t want to know, even though nearly 80% of the embalmers surveyed are reporting seeing them.

These clots were never seen before COVID and after the COVID jabs, even more embalmers noticed them.

*** end quote ***

When will this get on their radar?

It sure is on everyone else’s radar!

HEALTH: Is the risk of “died suddenly” the price for trusting COVID-19 “vaccines”?

Pro-Vaccine Journalist Who Called for Punishment For Refusing Jab Dies Suddenly
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Dec 16, 2023 – 06:30 PM
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

*** begin quote ***

A Canadian journalist who took strong positions in support of COVID-19 vaccines—including calling for vaccine passports and terminating police officers who refused the jab—has died suddenly.

*** end quote ***

Deep into the Big Pharma US Treasury raid, we learned that the word “vaccine” was redefined to include a bio-engineered weapons program.

Everyone, who disagreed, was labeled as “anti-vax”.  Despite that no one was refusing to take the polio (real) “vaccine”.  Nor were children not being given some of the OLD Traditional shots like DPT and measles.  And old {synonym for multiple instances of  flatulence} like me were taking Pneumonia and Shingle vaxes.  

No, the resistance was to these newfangled RNA “jabs” that were suspect.

Some of the suspicions were that politicians and bureaucrats, celebrities, and Big Executives were getting the distilled water or not getting jabbed at all.

(Remember Joe Biden’s shot on TV that was incorrectly administered?)

Don’t believe everything you hear and some of what you see.

HEALTH: Laughter Is the BEST Medicine

Thursday, November 2, 2023

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/10/23/laughter-therapy.aspx?ui=f9839516412491bb1e06c9e47058c6fb81b9b9b6acedf03e65e93dfdb263c1b9&sd=20210317&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art3ReadMore&cid=20231023&foDate=false&mid=DM1481285&rid=1945657433

Laughter Is Good Medicine
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
October 23, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Story at-a-glance

  •     Anthropological research suggests laughter and humor are genetically built-in, and that humor, historically, has functioned as “a social glue.” The critical laughter trigger for most people is not necessarily a joke or funny movie, but rather another person
  •     Laughter is contagious. The sound of laughter triggers regions in the premotor cortical region of your brain, which is involved in moving your facial muscles to correspond with sound
  •     While children laugh on average 300 times a day, adults laugh only 17 times a day on average. Suggestions for how to get more laughter in your life are included
  •     In one study, even after adjusting for confounding factors, the prevalence of heart diseases among those who rarely or never laughed was 21% higher, and the ratio of stroke 60% higher, than among those who laughed every day
  •     Benefits of laughter have been reported in geriatrics, critical and general patient care, rehabilitation, home care, hospice care, oncology, psychiatry, rheumatology, palliative care and terminal care

*** and ***

  • Observe young children and follow their lead — Find delight and amusement in the ordinary (for an example, see the laughing baby video above; the simple act of ripping paper is a source of seemingly endless delight)
  • Watch comedies, go to comedy clubs and read funny books
  • Spend more time with friends who make you laugh
  • Remind yourself to play and have more fun
  • Spend more time with optimistic, happy people
  • Avoid sources of distress, be it difficult relationships, horror movies or the daily news

*** end quote ***

I resolve to watch laughing babies at least once a day.

HEALTH: Mushroom “vitamin” linked to several diseases

Monday, October 2, 2023
https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/porcini-mushroom-high-in-valuable-ergothioneine-vitamin/?utm_campaign=newsletters
 
​Porcini Mushrooms Rank Among Highest in the World for Rare ‘Essential Vitamin’
By Andy Corbley – Sep 22, 2023 
 
*** begin quote ***
 
Porcini have been harvested for probably thousands of years, but it’s only recently that they’ve been identified as having the second-highest content of a powerful nutrient among all mushrooms examined for it.
 
The nutrient is called ergothioneine, styled ‘ERG’ for short, and may very well be the 15th vitamin that science has only just discovered we need. If a vitamin is classified as a compound that organisms need for survival, and which they cannot synthesize themselves, but which isn’t a mineral, a fatty acid, or an amino acid, then ergothioneine is a vitamin. It cannot be created in our own bodies, and we even adapted an endogenous transporter molecule specifically for ergothioneine.
 
Vitamins in large part must be obtained from the diet, and humans’ only whole food source of ergothioneine is mushrooms as near as makes no difference. Some bacteria and yeast can also synthesize ergothioneine naturally, and in consuming them humans consume ergothioneine. However the scientific particulars of that, including the bioavailability of yeast-born ERG, the levels obtainable through consumption, and the potential side effects, are practically non-existent.
 
A broad review of ergothioneine published in 2020 reports that its deficiency in humans has been found in cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome, CVD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pre-eclampsia, overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, “and is significantly lowered in others such as certain leukemias”.
 
*** end quote ***
 
Gotta eat some mushrooms.  Never saw the two described in any store.  Have you?  I’m looking for the “fountain of youth” and this seems to be protective of brain cells. Interesting?
