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!)

YMMV

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.

RANT: Targeted Killing of U.S. Citizens?

Why Did FBI Director Robert Mueller Hesitate to Answer Question on the Targeted Killing of U.S. Citizens?

*** begin quote ***

FBI Director Robert Mueller told House lawmakers on Wednesday that he would have to go back and check with the Department of Justice on whether Attorney General Eric Holder’s justification for the targeted killing of Americans overseas also applied to Americans inside the U.S.

Earlier on Studio B, Judge Andrew Napolitano weighed in, saying, “It’s not a question that we should have to ask and its not a question that he should’ve evaded answering.” Napolitano thinks Mueller knows the answer is no, but thinks he didn’t say that because he doesn’t want to frustrate his bosses who said yes a few days earlier.

“The Constitution says if the government wants your life, or your liberty or your property, it has to articulate to a jury what law you have violated and prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt to that jury. It’s called due process. Without due process, the government could take anything it wanted and kill anyone it wanted. Attorney General Holder ought to know that, and I suggest that Bob Mueller does and the reason he evaded that answer is because he wants to keep his job.”

Doens’t anyone else think that there is a lot wrong in the “Justice” department?

Shouldn’t America be that “shining city on the hill”?

How far we have fallen from the ideals of the Dead Old White Guys?

Argh!
