They now force Medicare patients to see the doctor yearly for a "wellness check". They don't cover testing your vitamin D levels but will check cholesterol. So you know what kind of wellness they are after.
2) When you expose yourself to cold temperatures (I mean getting real cold, without a parka), you generate the low-resistance conditions that allow your body to create and efficiently transport the UV light it makes itself.
Thank you! I live on the cold, dark, wet, windy island of Ireland. I guess my early trips with the dog will now involve more than watching him from the door! 😉😊
I'm just going to be slightly contrarian here. Real cures & deep healing have an element of 'temporary productive discomfort'. It's not just about upgrading some habits but retracing your toxic burden prior
Love this. At MOTHERS: Voices From a Silent Epidemic we're finding similar grounding strategies, and growing knowing that we are our own doctors, our children's doctors, as we are ultimately the ones analyzing the data, drawing the conclusions of what to accept, and what to let go. An observant mother knows best the homeostatic condition of a child, yet the patriarchy does not let this sink in.
"Your body is still suffering. It’s just doing it quietly enough that you don’t notice." - that's exactly what happened to me after they reduced my dose of birth control meds to a "tolerable" version! Only when I stopped I noticed how much better, happier and full of energy I was feeling. I lived years of my life in a unnoticeable state of numbness, I'm still angry about it. Thanks for putting it in such appropriate words!
Love being a subscriber to your site...it is easily the most informative for all things health. I often link your posts at other sites and hopefully that helps you out! I'm likely a subscriber as long as both parties are willing and able. Quick question...shingles...the wife had an event a few years ago and we used a Roycederm product based on wormwood. She found it instantly remedied pain. Lo and behold, she just went through a period of sickness and they have arrived once again! That creme still works for her but she's about out and don't think they produce it any longer. Anything in your toolbox, aside form, of course, working for a stronger immune system, that might alleviate the pain?
Terrasil is the name of it.DMSO is supposed to help. I couldn't use it because this was centered on my ear and my ear was inflamed. Couldn't use anything warm.
You must not be a physician, or know any physicians, or know anything about the pay structure in physician contracts, or know anything about private equity owned hospitals. They did not teach me shit about financials in the curriculum, and it cost $350,000 in loans to go to school.
For diseases that occur locally, it is essential to use localized treatment methods, such as interventional procedures. Using any systemic methods (oral or intravenous administration) to treat localized diseases (such as cancer) will inevitably result in side effects.
Cures come from health. Cures have health effects. Most cures are trivial; most cures are non-medical. These cures are ignored medically. The cure for the common cold does not exist, because the cure for the common cold is health. The same is true of influenza, measles, and COVID. When we are healthier, we get fewer illnesses - and cure them faster. Most medicines have no cure goal, they aim to push our illness 'sideways'. It's no wonder that medicines have side effects.
“Side-Effect” is a great example of how they fool us with words. The effect is not on the side. It’s not a side-effect. It’s a NEGATIVE effect. It’s a feature.
Thank you for this post! I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety and woke up this morning to see this post. So I headed outside just as sun was rising, stuck my feet in the ground and sat for about 10 minutes. I didn’t expect anything, but I physically felt my body relax like I hadn’t in a while. Like when you’re really thirsty and you finally get a drink of water. I’ll make this part of my daily routine! So appreciate your tips! A true cure! Thank you so much!🤗❤️☀️
I enjoy your thoughts / much of value. Feeling better depends on your cultural background to some extent. So many patients I see have their expectations based on metrics. They are well but would feel better with a clear colonoscopy, lowered cholesterol or blood pressure. It's almost like many don't know how to feel better, suffering from a fear of missing out or dying. They have forgotten how to smell the roses or experience your sunlight recipe. There's also a background of the need to 'do the right thing' and that every condition reflects fault on a poor diet or not getting the right treatment. I do get a guilty pleasure occasionally by being asked what causes this or that symptom or condition and shrugging my shoulders snd replying that 'I have no idea' 😳After initially being taken aback they seem to appreciate the honesty and elements of humour!

About sunrise and sunset - does it matter if you live in a cold, dark winter climate without much sun?
Also mineral salt- does true sea salt count?
Good questions.
1) Going outside even on cloudy days work great.
2) When you expose yourself to cold temperatures (I mean getting real cold, without a parka), you generate the low-resistance conditions that allow your body to create and efficiently transport the UV light it makes itself.
3) Yes.

I have confirmed for myself that sunlight is startlingly effective vs depression..
Absolutely.
It's also unbelievably effective for immediate mood shift.
Next time you are outside during a dark/cloudy day, pay close attention to your mood as the sun starts to break through the clouds.
It's so powerful it's almost euphoric.
Sunlight effect size on the scale of recreational drugs.

Agreed.

Any advice for how to ground during morning and nighttime hours in cold climates? We live in a gray wintry landscape for months out of the year.. 🙃
Dress warm. I go outside, even if it's for a little bit, because my dog insists on it. There is still a lot to see

Walmart has a shingles cream that is good. Uses cottonseed oil, of all things. And ivermectin does help with shingles.
My recent epiphany:
The medical curricula is geared toward maximizing a physician’s income, not a patient’s outcome.
You must not be a physician, or know any physicians, or know anything about the pay structure in physician contracts, or know anything about private equity owned hospitals. They did not teach me shit about financials in the curriculum, and it cost $350,000 in loans to go to school.

to your health, tracy
Like my old man always says, the only cure is prevention. Love it!
“Side-Effect” is a great example of how they fool us with words. The effect is not on the side. It’s not a side-effect. It’s a NEGATIVE effect. It’s a feature.
Any substance or intervention that can have a therapeutic effect can have a toxic effect. That includes herbals, vitamins, supplements, etc.
Indeed. “Side-Effect” is an anagram of 'eff deceits'.
now that's what's up
