This looks really good! Deng Ming-Dao is offering a free six part Zoom series on Qi. Qi (chi, 氣) has been defined as breath, lifeforce, or energy. For anyone interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healing, meditation, qigong, or Taijiquan, it can take years to understand and cultivate qi. So it’s important to learn from the tradition that was established by healers, martial artists, and meditators over thousands of years. The Circle of Qi is a simple idea: we are in exchange with the world; we circulate energy; and our bodies, minds, spirits, and the cosmos are all linked in a circle of qi. The series will take place biweekly on Thursday evenings. 1.

A decade or so ago, I used chayawanprash for a couple years, just a spoonful or so a day. I loved the stuff! Can't remember what benefits there may have been, but I pretty much stopped it because of the high sugar content. I liked the versions made with honey best... Totally yummy.

@old3bob Are you eating the specially enriched version? I eat an awful lot of dark chocolate, and don't have bleeding problems. If I did, I would increase nutrients that strengthen blood vessels, especially vitamins C and K. A few other nutrients that could be increasing bleeding tendency would be garlic, fish oil, and vitamin E. But like chocolate, I'd work on strengthening vessels before I'd give up any of those.

I'd probably pass on the "specially enriched" and just eat more, lol. Love me some dark chocolate! Funny story. Preparing for lots of possible company for Y2K (remember that?), and thinking chocolate was one of the things we'd be missing the most, I prepared. I bought fifty pounds of Dutch chocolate powder and vacuum-packed all of it up into 2-quart jars. And yes, even giving lots of jars away, I still have a lot left, and still use it regularly. For awhile, I was calling it old chocolate, but now I am referring to it as aged. And 20 years later, it still tastes great. Ah, the many wonders of chocolate.

Do you know what the chocolate was "specially enriched" with?

Yup. (None of the emojis quite do the job on this one....)

Reminds me of the good ole (hard!) times, lol. I lived for five years on a farm with no electricity, no running water, etc. We carried water from the spring and kept the goats' milk in a water race in the basement. After a few years we got a hand pump in the kitchen! And then a few more years, a kerosene fridge! Ice cubes! I felt were like we were recapitulating civilization! I'm soooo grateful for having lived that way for a time... but wouldn't choose to go back to it now...

Nebulizing hydrogen peroxide, diluted iodine, colloidal silver, or hypochlorous acid (NOT hydrochloric acid!) would all be worth a try. Also, drinking SSKI iodine in water on a daily basis. It spreads rapidly though all the fluids in your body and protects the mucous membranes from bacteria, fungus, and viruses.

Thanks, Bhathen! That's a great find. And if you'd rather read than listen, you can go here: https://covexit.com/the-8th-day-therapy-for-covid-19/ I learned a lot!

In case there's any lingering question about why the FDA would try to make NAC prescription only, check this out: "NAC reduced ALL Clinical Manifestations and Consequences of influenza." Well, can't be havin' THAT! https://healthythinking.substack.com/p/antiviral-nutrition-video-cysteine?fbclid=IwAR1Y6rdfpWAJDaqcb4gck_3VhJihRMt_c60WuviFW7fJHohBohiNtTUHYUs

Welcome euro! You've jumped right in with a great post about a huge topic! For starters, I'm curious what you practiced to develop this ability, as you wrote "I was not born with this ability however it came quickly, after about a year of regular practice." For myself, my family never talked about feelings/emotions, and for various reasons we learned (by example) not to notice or respond to most of them. It's been a long time learning to recognize them consciously in others, even though I clearly respond to them unconsciously. The biggest thing for me is in allowing (like I have a choice, lol) people to just be where they are and letting their emotions just pass though me like wind, no judgement. Obviously, not always easy, but helps to just recognize where they are, what they're feeling, and let that just be ok. I think getting older has made that easier. I understand your body takes them on way more than mine ever has, and that's tough for sure.

NAC is still widely available everywhere but Amazon and Whole Foods. iHerb is a good source, but it's available almost everywhere. This case will go to court for sure.

Boron is supposed to be good for the prostate. Check out The Boron Conspiracy online, and have a look at Dr. Jorge Flechas' YouTube on boron. Haven't followed it re candida, but it kills all the baddies. It's cheap and you can DIY.

Good that you've got a functional med doc! Briefly... Dr. Klinghardt recommends licorice extract, adrenal support, low dose cortisone, maca, ginseng... and you must sleep well. My notes are long, and embarrassingly obscure at points, as he talks kind of fast sometimes. He has a protocol for avoiding long hauler's, starting with orthomolecular approaches (vitamins and minerals), which you are probably on already. Herbs, he mentions Andrographis plus, called Vital 9 in the US, Liqorice extract. And Japanese Knotweed for Lyme, which he says is often underlying for long haulers. Topical applications of hot water gargle 4x day, hypochlorous acid (saltwater with electricity, which he speaks very highly of), and propolis spray. If lungs are involved, Propolis inhaler, melatonin in high doses (50-200 mg @ bedtime) and also andrographis. Many of the things he recommends can be obtained from KiScience. LH's need nerve regeneration, for which he recommends Luteolin and PEA. Glialia off eBay. B12 injections, 5-20 mg 2x a week. He says long haulers really need to do a gall bladder flush, due to sludge in the biliary system which is preventing total elimination of the virus. That's a summary of the parts of my notes I have fair confidence in, lol. Maybe you will find some helpful bits!

Spanda, How have you been treating the post viral CF besides the Qi Gong? Any vitamins, herbs, nasal washes etc? Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt has some protocols for long haulers, including those types of treatments, if you are interested, I could try to summarize some of it from my notes...

Shaking and trauma... years ago I heard a commotion from my carport and ran out to find a strange pitbull attacking my much smaller border collie. He had Zumo's back leg in his jaws and was shaking him back and forth. I didn't stop to think, and ran up and grabbed the pit by the collar and the skin on his rump, and lifted him off the ground. The pit wouldn't let go, and I was lifting both dogs, at least 90# together! I was screaming for help, Zumo was screaming. It was crazy! Major adrenalin! The pit finally dropped my dog, neighbors arrived to see what was going on, we tied up the pit... and I started shaking violently all over. It was kind of embarrassing, but there was no stopping it. I shook like that for probably 10-20 minutes before it started to dissipate. All that shaking really surprised me, and I read later that that's what animals do after a trauma, that shaking dissipates the adrenalin, and that it's a way the body lets the trauma out and gets over it. Interesting to wonder if induced shaking long after a trauma in which shaking was inhibited, would help get rid of the trauma. Certainly not surprising that inducing shaking could bring up traumas that had never been "shaken out."

An Untitled Sequel To The Sorcerer's Crossing is due out at the end of this month. Taisha Abelar's first book, The Sorcerer's Crossing, a Woman's Journey, was the story of her training with Castenada's teacher Don Juan and his party of sorcerers, who taught sorcery as a pragmatic endeavor by means of which you can directly perceive energy. Actually doing that demands an enormous amount of energy, which you can acquire by freeing yourself from your normal capacity to perceive. The Sorcerer's Crossing describes Taisha's training to acquire enough energy to make the Sorcerer's Crossing. The Sorcerer's Crossing refers in part to the corpus callousm where right and left brains communicate. The first book was a life changer for me, and I can hardly wait to read this one!

Today I came across a free link to what is supposed to be Taisha Abelar's unpublished book, presumably the one mentioned when this thread started in 2008! I haven't read it yet, have no idea what to think. But here ya go... https://archive.org/details/taishas-unpublished-text/page/n11/mode/2up

Interesting that Sweden also supplements its population with vitamin D3. That, by itself, would help a lot if it was enough to actually raise blood levels.

Anybody else get the feeling we're being driven (or herded) toward the genetic therapies as opposed to actual vaccines? The genetic therapies actually don't qualify as vaccines. See Mercola's article above if you wonder what that means

Both Phizer and Modern are RNA gene therapy, and do NOT qualify as "vaccines". A credible authority (IMO), who will not be vaccinated himself, says probably the best of the lot is the Russian "Sputnik."

I you haven't got the vax yet, do read this first. Dr. Mercola sums it up pretty well. COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines The article goes waaay beyond the title. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/02/09/coronavirus-mrna-vaccine.aspx?ui=1e11a91deafeb9e595bb5a0e8a08c33d75bd5689da06b3817e902fc6738eed56&sd=20110604&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20210209_HL2&mid=DM799847&rid=1080086943

The opinions and assumptions others have about us tend to create a box for us to live in. Castaneda's recommendation that we not tell people our history helps us escape at least one aspect of being trapped in a box. Our own thoughts about ourselves is obviously another box, lol. But dropping that will be easier if expectations and pressures from others diminish.
