1. Introduction

      What follows is a guide to respecting your friends' communication-related boundaries, during this time of desperate need for social contact, brought on by the "physical distancing", "social distancing", and shelter-in-place orders which are supposedly necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
     The purpose of this article is to explain that non-stop talking (or "monologuing") is not acceptable, even during a time when one is in desperate need of social contact. Taking turns monologuing is better than one person monologuing, but it is still not good enough.

     I have written the article below in order to impart a lesson about healthy communication skills. I used to have hopes, dreams, and goals. I do not want my goals - nor who I am as a person - to be entirely subsumed under my need for social contact.
     I cannot spend all of my time worrying about other people's problems; I have enough problems of my own. Your friends are the same way.

     I don't want to be the guy who doesn't pick up the phone when his friends need him. Don't make me consider being that guy.
     I want to be part of my friends' lives so I can help them, not to listen to them talk about ghosts and shit.

     People doing non-stop talking to me literally triggers my P.T.S.D..
     I was stood over, yelled at, lectured at, and never allowed to talk or properly explain myself. That is how my father tortured me. I cannot sit here and fucking listen to people talk about meaningless bullshit forever.
     If we're having a conversation, there has to be a purpose. Either you want me to help you, or you do not.
     I know I'm a good listener, but I cannot listen to people go on and vent about their problems, especially if they don't want help or advice. I cannot be that person. Not yet anyway.
     I have a life. I work more than 40 hours a week. Nobody seems to understand that I can't spend all my free time on the phone and that I can't have people in my house in the half hour before I leave for work. It slows me down.

     I have extreme difficulties setting boundaries, especially with non-stop talkers. I need help setting up these boundaries, and if someone is going to try to be my friend, then they need to be helping to set those boundaries up.
     I need more friends, not more problems, not more people to test my boundaries instead of respecting them.

     I am trying to finish a campaign. My child molester is on the loose. I am extremely busy.
     I cannot be a good listener, or even laugh an appropriate amount in a conversation, if my mind is consumed with the rage and uncertainty that have resulted from my father remaining a free man after molesting me as a child and then brainwashing me about it.

     I love you guys. But stop fucking calling me.

     My father used my cell phone essentially as a tracking device.

 

     He got phones for me and my mom and brother, essentially only so that he could harangue us for not responding quickly (because he has abandonment issues).

     My father once fired me from my secretary job for him, for leaving my phone at home by accident.

 

     My mom would spend up to 45 minutes at a time on the phone when I was a kid. It was extremely difficult to get her attention during this time.

     Parents, please remember that small children cannot solve their own problems. If you ignore your kid for a solid hour, they could die. Cover the phone for five seconds, talk to your child, and find out whether it's an emergency, or whether it's something that can wait!

 

     When my mother's phone rings, she instantly sighs or scoffs, gets visibly agitated, and says "Jeez" or "what now!?". I never want that to be me.

     I want to live.

     I don't want to be a prisoner of my phone, an inanimate object that we have all allowed way too much control over us.

 

     I don't enjoy talking on the phone.

     Personally I think it's a useful, but deeply flawed, invention. They invented that shit 150 years ago, and still haven't even come close to perfecting the sound quality.

     It is difficult to struggle to hear my friends through crackling. It's also dehumanizing to have to listen to a roboticized voice. It stresses me out because it feels like I'm not talking to a human being.

     It feels like my friends and family have been replaced by robots.

 

     I know it's hard for my friends not to talk to me on the phone, but remember that e-mails and texts - and talking in person - exist too!

     Meeting in person may not be possible when we live far apart, but the only way to talk voice-to-voice long distance is to put up with crackling and random call-dropping. Maybe you guys can handle the stress of that, but I can’t.

 

     Last year [2020], I spent months and months trying to explain - to ten different people - that they were calling me too often, and/or for too long.

     In January 2021, I even made a twenty-minute video for YouTube [titled "Plea to My Friends and Followers: Stop Calling Me on the Phone!"], in which I named all of the things I can't do when I'm talking on the phone.

 

     The things I can't do while I'm on the phone include:

          - eating (because chewing makes noise),

          - cooking (makes noise),

          - listening to or playing music,

          - sleeping,

          - cleaning my house (if the objects make noise), and more.

 

     I can’t eat or sleep if I’m talking to you all of the time!

     I am sick of waking up to phone calls, and then waiting for my friends to stop talking to me on the phone so that I can start my day.

 

     Talking about your problems on the phone, is not the same thing as solving your problems.

     The more you call me to talk about your problems, the more powerless I feel, because I literally cannot do anything about them (besides give advice that I'm not sure whether you'll take or appreciate).

 

     Also, when talking on the phone, it is customary to let the other person talk at least 10% of the time. This is a joke, of course; 50% is the ideal. Equal conversations should be 50/50.

     If I'm not talking – or if I slip to far below that 50% threshold – then it's not always because I have nothing to say.

     It's mostly because I have learned to deal with my problems - and call the people who can solve them - instead of just going on talking about them for a half hour, or an hour, or multiple hours at a time.

     Another reason why I’m not talking, might be that I don’t feel like I will be heard, because as soon as I stop talking, you will start talking. And for minutes and minutes, before I have another chance to speak.

     Also, me pausing for half a second, should not be confused with an invitation for you to speak for another solid twenty minutes.

     I don’t know why nobody ever told you this, but it is not an equal conversation when you speak for twenty minutes, and then I say “Yeah?”, and then you speak for another twenty solid minutes. That is not polite.

 

     I have tried as hard as I can to be polite about this. But it seems that the more polite I am, the less my friends get the hint.

     I am sorry that some people will feel personally called-out by this post. But I have tried to explain this over and over and over again:

     I am trying to put my rapist/father in prison. There is no such thing as “free time” for me. Say “call me when you have some free time” all you wish; saying this does not cause me to have more free time.

     If I stopped calling to you – and/or broke up with you – then it is because I don’t enjoy talking with you as much as you think I do! Take the hint!

 

     The more time you talk about your problems (which I cannot solve), the more I think about the things I am not doing to write about what my father did to me. The more you talk, the more I am silently stressing-out about things I need to do around the house, and out of the house at businesses, in order to move my life forward and solve my problems.

     If you do not understand the concept of “moving one’s life forward”, then I am sorry, but I am not going to be able to explain it to you. If you think that I can easily put my other needs aside in order to talk to you, then I am sorry, but I am not going to stop sleeping, and eating, and cooking, and cleaning, and showering, and going to the bathroom, in order to make you happy.

 

     I cannot be of any use to my friends, if I am not solving my problems. I cannot solve my problems if I am listening to my friends talk on the phone every single “free” moment I have.

     Just because I have a free moment here and there, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I want to spend that moment listening to my friends talk.

     If I don’t sleep and cook and eat and clean and shower and use the restroom when I need to, then it messes with the flow of my day. If the flow of my day is impeded, then I risk failing to show up to work on time. If I fail to show up to work on time, I could be fired.

     If I am fired from my job, then I will miss paying my bills. Then – if I don’t get a new job in time - I could get behind on utilities, and lose my apartment, and end up on the street or having to live with friends or family. That option is, to me, not worth it. I would like to stay housed, through my own power and my own work.

     I will not completely re-prioritize and re-schedule my life in order to listen to you talk on the phone. I was homeless once; I am not going to be homeless again solely to make you feel heard. Go find a second person who wants to listen to you talk.

 

     I already devoted hundreds of hours listening to ten of my friends talk – and dozens of hours begging them to stop calling me so much – all throughout last year [2020].

     I have had enough.

 

     I know that many of my friends need help, and need someone to listen to them. But I cannot bear the burden of being the only friend who will listen to ten of my friends.

     I want to be supportive. And I want you to have friends. That’s “friends”, plural! Please find a second friend, or I will have no choice but to leave you with no friends at all!

     If that happens, you will have brought it upon yourselves.

 

     I love my friends. But if you love someone, let them go!

Content

1. First Introduction

     The following is my health- and nutrition- related advice that I would give in regard to how to boost your natural immunity against Covid-19 and other coronaviruses.

     This article is an explanation of why I believe that reducing your intake of harmful foods and drinks (such as acidic drinks, sugars, alcohols, breads, fungi, animal products, and what I call "gastronomically acceptable forms of edible feces") will lead to a lower risk of cancer, and make it easier for your body’s immune system to fight-off viral and bacterial infections.

     This article should be considered an endorsement of low-carbohydrate diets, and of “keto” diets. Keto diets aim to reduce intake of carbohydrates, putting the body on a path to achieving ketosis (a situation the body burns fat for fuel instead of burning carbohydrates).

2. Second Introduction

      Lately – in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic – the C.D.C. (Centers for Disease Control) and the N.I.H. (National Institutes for Health) have cornered the market on issuing health advice.
     The chilling effect on free speech, which this state of affairs has created, has gotten so bad that Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson recently found it necessary to criticize those agencies for disregarding the age-old practice of “getting a second opinion” on your health before making a potentially life-saving or deadly decision.
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt_7uMJRn-U

     Luckily, however, these agencies have occasionally used their monopoly on health advice for good.

     The government has admitted that vitamins are good for you, by admitting that people should take Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc to protect against Covid. And the government has admitted that immunity boosting exists, in regard to the immunity boosting potential of vaccines.

     But the government has thus far shied away from admitting the clear connection between vitamins and immunity boosting potential. We are told, “Just wear the mask” and “Just take the vaccine” without being given much advice about our nutrition. We are being told to “take vitamins” without being told why.

     We are being pressured to take vaccines that have not been approved by the F.D.A.. We are being told what to do, not allowed to ask questions, and kept in the dark.

     Personally, I find it appalling that our government has failed to place emphasis on public education regarding nutrition, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Not just in proportion to vaccines and masks, but at all. Given this failure, it is practically a miracle that vitamins have even been discussed. But that does not mean we should be thankful.

     Such a small amount of education could go such a long way. And there is no time more important than the present, to impart this knowledge, as right now, in our air and water and food and drinks and consumer products, there are some 800 toxic chemicals lingering about. The average adult human has 500 or 600 toxic chemicals in their system, and the average baby is born with over 200 different toxic substances.

     These toxic substances are weakening our immune systems, increasing our susceptibility to Covid-19 and other diseases.

     Few people want to talk about it, though; in part, because some of these toxic substances make it cheaper to produce certain other products, and because one of these toxic substances is E.T.O. (ethylene oxide), a chemical that helps us because it sterilizes medical equipment, but hurts us because it emits sterilizing chemicals into our air and water.

     Throughout this article, I will give the reader an idea of just how much shit we are putting into our bodies. And I mean "shit" literally.

     Here are just a few examples of some of the toxic substances that are waiting in our food, drinks, and other common products that many of us use every day.

 

3. Artificial Sweeteners, Feces, Cheese, Antibiotics, Coffee, Alcohol, and Cancer


3a. Artificial Sweeteners, Shit, and Cheese

     Aspartame is found in artificial sweeteners like Equal and NutraSweet and some sodas.

     Aspartame is made from genetically modified e. coli bacteria. E. coli is the bacterium which is found in human feces.

     E. coli bacteria excrete sugar. Bacterial excretion is the equivalent of taking a shit.

     So basically, an E. coli bacterium (which is found in shit, and essentially is shit), takes a shit (when it excretes sugar), and we are putting that sugar into our drinks as artificial sweetener.

    Some shit took a shit and you decided to drink it. You're drinking the shit of shit.

     Have you ever looked at the list of ingredients in the cheese that you eat? We all know cheese is mostly made of milk. But did you ever wonder what the “enzymes” in cheese are? It’s shit. The enzyme is rennet. Rennet comes from colostrum, which is extracted from young cows' intestines. This requires the death of the calf. Cheese contains rennet, which comes from tortured animals; therefore, cheese is not vegetarian or vegan. Vegans should not be eating cheese. It contains milk mixed with edible shit. Cheese is a brick of shit-milk.

     You're eating shit.

3b. Shit, Probiotics, and Alcohol

     Sure, this shit - like cheese, products containing aspartame, and the types of probiotics found in yogurts and Kombuchas, such as lactobacillus - is edible.
     And it’s not always bad to eat bacterial excretions, as long as your body can handle it. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria.

     Just remember that taking too much alcohol with probiotics, and/or taking alcohol too soon after taking probiotics, will kill both the good bacteria and the bad bacteria in your system. Also, remember that any probiotics you take while on antibiotic medications might be rendered ineffective.

     You’re eating shit. But we tell ourselves it’s OK to eat a little shit. It is, only as long as we don’t mess with our immune systems.

     Alcohol is bad for you because the liver breaks most ethanol down into alcohol dehydrogenase (A.D.H.), which later becomes acetaldehyde, which is a toxic carcinogen.
     [Note: It was previously reported here, inaccurately, that "alcohol breaks down into sugar and acidizes your blood"; however, alcohol does not break down into sugar, and does not have a noticeable effect on the pH level of the blood.]

     Also, alcohol is a deadly neurotoxin that can cause shutdown of the medulla oblongatta (the control center of the heart and lungs), leading to respiratory collapse and death.

     You're killing yourself with alcohol.

     But on the other hand, alcohol does have a legitimate medical use - i.e., dulling pain - and other benefits.
     Alcohol, marijuana high in cannabidiol (C.B.D.), and even opioids (including heroin) have legitimate medical uses; i.e., dulling pain (for example, during painful medical procedures such as surgery). That is why the F.D.A. should consider none of these substances to be Class I in the drug schedules under the Controlled Substances Act; because Class I is supposed to be reserved for drugs that have no medical uses.
     So while alcohol has negative health effects, it can dull pain. The fact that beers have been fermented, makes them great alternatives to water, when the local water supply is tainted (something that Europeans in the 1300s discovered in response to the Black Death from the plague outbreak).
     Alcohol also kills bacteria. And the chemical resveratrol - a polyphenol that protects the lining of the heart - is in some wines. The wines that have the highest concentration of resveratrol are Malbec, Petite Sirah, St. Laurent, and Pinot Noir.
     If you want resveratrol, but don't want to drink alcohol in order to get it, then you can buy capsules of resveratrol at the pharmacy without a prescription. Just make sure that the pills don't contain gelatin, if you're a vegan and seek to avoid animal products. Gelatin comes from the boiled connective tissue (such as cartilage, fats, and bone) of animals.

3c. Antibiotics and Bacteria, vs. Antivirals and Viruses

     Remember that antibiotics are only effective against bacteria; not against viruses. That’s because bacteria are living organisms; while viruses are more like zombies.

     Viruses are not exactly dead, because they’re made of genetic and biological material, but they're not alive either because they can’t reproduce without a host. Any hand sanitizer or handi-wipes container that you see plastered with “kills viruses” is scientifically inaccurate, because viruses cannot be killed, only neutralized. They were never alive to begin with.

     Additionally, those sanitizers may be "effective against" viruses, but that's most viruses. It usually says "99.9% or "99.999"%" effective. The repeated application of 99.9% effective hand sanitizers, leaves one bacterium alive out of every thousand or ten thousand, which can result in mutation of those strongest bacteria in a way that causes them to become stronger and more deadly.

     Antiviral drugs combat viruses; while antibacterials and antibiotics combat bacteria. Antibiotics are not effective against colds and flus, because the cold and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria; while bacteria replicate differently from viruses and have different structures.

     Taking antibiotics, instead of antiviral drugs, when you have a viral infection – and don’t need antibiotics – can cause you to have increased resistance to antibiotics (meaning you could develop bacterial infections more easily).
     It's possible that the overuse of antibacterial hand soap and sanitized wipes, for the purpose of disinfecting surfaces of possible cold and flu viruses (when those things are for bacteria, not viruses) - and the overuse of antibiotics against viral infections of the lung and throat (which can cause additional bacterial infections) - have given many of us antibiotic resistance.
     Many lives could be saved if cheap antivirals are more widely available, and their instructions made clearly understandable on the packaging.

     You’re messing with your immune system.

3d. More on Artificial Sweeteners

     Returning to the topic of artificial sweeteners:

     Another common artificial sweetener is dextrose, which is commonly found in candies. Dextrose is chemically identical to glucose, and therefore can lead to dangerously high blood sugar.

     Nutritionists debate whether diabetes is caused by high sugar intake or high fat intake, but it seems fair to conclude that both are contributing factors, since refusal to reduce sugar intake will prevent the body from burning fat for fuel instead of continuing to burn sugar (and carbohydrates, which break down into glucose).

     You’re giving yourself diabetes.

     Another common artificial sugar is sucralose, which is found in the sweetener Splenda. Sucralose contains three chlorine atoms; it is a chlorinated sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than sucrose.

     Consuming sucralose can lead to leaky gut, I.B.S. (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or Crohn’s disease.

     You’re drinking chlorine.

     Drinking too much juice, instead of eating the fruit that it comes from, can lead to your blood having too high a concentration of sugar. This can cause fatty liver disease, in the same way that alcohol can cause the same disease.

     Taking in large amounts of alcohol and sugar puts a strain on your liver, the poison processing organ.

     You’re giving yourself fatty liver disease.

     Drinking too much juice, alcohol, and coffee (even if the coffee is loaded with milk) can also make your stomach acid and your blood too acidic.
     Those with acid reflux should be cautious about drinking too much acidic (low-pH) drinks. Those who have acid reflux should use antacid tablets (for example, Tums) in order to avoid throwing their stomach acid's pH level too low.

     The pH level runs from 0 (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic or alkalinic). The pH level of water is about 7. The pH of human blood is about 7.35 to 7.45 (slightly basic).

     Drinking milk (6 - 6.9), coffee (4.85 to 5.1), and juice (3.3 to 4.2) can throw your body into a state of acidosis.

     In Southern Italy, it is customary to serve a glass of water in between two cups of coffee. This is probably not as necessary in Northern Italy because it is not as hot there, and thus there is less of a need in Northern Italy for relief from the dehydration which salty, hot coffee tends to bring in the warmer climate of the Mediterranean Sea.

     If you drink coffee, remember that diluting it with milk – and/or having a glass of water afterwards – will help reduce the degree to which the coffee acidizes your blood.

     In fact, adding a teaspoon of baking soda - fresh baking soda, not baking soda from the back of the refrigerator – will instantly neutralize the acidity of your coffee.

     When it comes to coffee, don’t worry too much about the pH of your stomach acid, though, as that’s supposed to be between 1.5 and 3.5. Juices like orange juice (3 to 4 on the pH scale) – and acidic alcohols (beers are around 4 while others range from 2.5 to 10) - are the only common drinks that are acidic enough to worry about (that is, unless you have a sensitive system or are worried about ulcers).

     [Note: Not all acidic foods and drinks have an acidizing effect on the blood, but most do. A notable exception is the lemon, an acidic food that has an alkalinizing effect on the pH level of the blood. However, diet doesn't significantly affect the pH level of the blood.]

     You’re giving yourself acidosis. (This refers to a blood pH level less than 7.35).

3e. pH Levels, Sugar, and Cancer

     pH level measures the amount of hydrogen ions in a solution. "pH" stands for "potential hydrogen".

     The scale runs from 0 to 14, with acidic liquids near 0, water in the middle at 7, and alkalines at 14.
     The ideal pH scales for your stomach acid, your blood, and your skin, differ depending on your gender. The ideal pH of human blood is between 6.8 and 7.8. The ideal pH of the stomach acid is between 1.5 and 3.5. The ideal pH of the skin is around 5.5.
     The ideal pH level of the reproductive system depends on gender. The pH of the inside of the vagina can be higher than 4.5 after a woman becomes menopausal.

     The research of Otto Warburg suggests that a diet rich in foods and drinks which have an alkalinizing effect on the body could reduce the risk of cancer cells surviving.

     In 1931, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was won by Otto Henrich Warburg. Warburg studied cellular respiration, and observed that cancer cells “live in hypoxic, very low oxygen, and acidic conditions…”.

     Warburg continued by adding that cancer cells “derive energy from sugars by fermenting them the way yeast does”.

     Warburg became well-known for showing that cancer thrives in high-acid environments.
     Although there is no evidence that giving cancer more sugar decreases the cancer, having a lot of sugar in your system makes it available to be used to supply energy (from blood glucose) to the cancer cells. Additionally, sugar has been linked to esophageal cancer.

     You’re giving yourself cancer.

     Eating a lot of sugar will make your mouth a more acidic environment than normal. This probably increases susceptibility to diseases transmitted by mouth, because acids wear away at the lining of the digestive tract (which includes the inside of the mouth).

     High blood sugar levels, and the weakened immune system which results from them, can increase your susceptibility to developing oral thrush. Leukemia, H.I.V., and taking antibiotics can also increase your risk of developing thrush (which can affect the tongue, and appears as white lesions).

     [Note: Oral thrush is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus candida albicans, small amounts of which can live in the mouth without harm; but which can also develop into worse infections, especially if a person has cancer or an immune deficiency.]

     You’re giving yourself oral thrush. Go brush your tongue.

3f. Salty and Spicy Foods

     It’s not just sugars, juices, and alcohols that are acidic. Salty and spicy foods are acidic too. So are most animal products (although the pH level of meats can range between 6 and 12).

     If you want to reduce your risk of developing oral thrush, cancer, and bacterial and viral infections, then by all means, limit your intake of salty, spicy, and sweet foods that erode at the lining of your tongue and mouth.

     Sour, sweet, and spicy foods tend to be acidic. Bitter foods tend to be alkalinic.

     That covers four of the five types of tastes; the fifth is savory (or umami), like the primary taste characteristic of meat.

     Which brings us to animal products.

    

4. Animal Products and Pets

     Some soaps contain animal fats, as sodium tallowate is found in tallow soaps.

     Sodium tallowate a fatty acid salt. It is created through the mixing of animal fat with lye (sodium hydroxide).

     Have you ever stopped to think about what using animal fat containing soaps could be doing to your complexion? Think about it: You are trying to get rid of the excess bacteria, grease, and lipids (fats) off of your face, to make your skin clean. And you do this by smearing your skin with animal fat!? How could this do anything but make your skin more susceptible to bacterial infection?

     Some soap is even made of lard, or rendered beef fat.

     http://www.wpi.edu/news/why-soap-magic-fight-against-coronavirus

     In 1918, during the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Indian company Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. (GCPL) became the first company to make soap from vegetable oil instead of animal fat.

     http://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/godrej-consumer-sees-2020-as-second-beginning-for-co/1895826

     Vegans and vegetarians should not be using soaps that contain animal tallow. If you want your skin to smell nice, and clean your skin, then I have no idea why you’d turn to animal fat instead of flowers. There are companies that make soap from coconut oil, the oil extracted from rose petals, and other plants and flowers.

     Just make sure that the soap doesn’t contain ascorbic acid that’s derived from the black mold Aspergillus niger.

     You’re smearing your skin with animal fat.

     Additionally, Aspergillus niger - or black mold - has been known to cause schizophrenia.

     Remember in early 2020, when a lot of us thought that Covid-19 became a disease that human beings could get, because it had supposedly jumped the species barrier from bats to humans (or from bats, to snakes, to humans)?

     Well, it turned out that a video watched by millions – of a woman eating a bat – was not from China, but was from Palau, and was filmed several years prior to the outbreak. Moreover, if the virus did not originate from a laboratory, then it’s more likely that it jumped the species barrier through snakes instead of directly from bats to humans. That’s because there are more people who eat snake (which eat bats) than there are people who eat bats.

     Even though it’s looking, now, more like Covid-19 came from Wuhan Virology Institute, rather than a sketchy fish market in China, we can still learn something from this.

     That lesson is that the more types of animal you eat, the higher your chance of contracting a food-borne pathogen that could cross the species barrier over to humans.

     Remember how the commonly accepted explanation of the origin of H.I.V. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the virus that causes A.I.D.S.) in humans? Scientists theorized that someone cut his hand while chopping up an infected monkey for sale in illicit African monkey meat markets. Proximity to animal meat, with an open wound, is said to have allowed the transmission of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (S.I.V.) to humans.

     All of this goes to show that vegan and vegetarian diets - and reducing your consumption of, and proximity to, animal meats - while avoiding cross-contamination, can help reduce the risks of food-borne illnesses.

     You’re shoveling too many different types of animals down your throat.

     This seems like as good a time as any to mention that pastoral cultures, medieval living conditions in Europe, and households with several pets, but people in close proximity to animals. Remember that even if you’re not eating animals, you can still get diseases from living with them.

     The bacteria Toxoplasmosis gondii dwells in cat urine. If enough cat urine is present in your house, then you should be worried about this bacterium infecting your bloodstream. This problem has become so prevalent that some people have even expressed concern that this bacterium could be re-wiring the brain of the host (i.e., the cat owner or “parent”) to be a subservient slave of the cat.

     Don’t forget that cats will eat your dead body after you die. Dogs will wait longer, after you’re dead, to eat your corpse, but they will still do it.

     Have you ever let a dog lick your wrist, and then after that, you noticed that your wrist itches? I have. Maybe I’m sensitive to dogs, but the allergy test I took when I was eight years old didn’t detect that.

     My explanation? Dogs’ saliva contains enzymes that help them digest food. Dogs are tasting us; probably so they’ll know what we taste like after we’re dead.

     You’re letting your cat make you into a slave, and you’re letting your dog eat you before you’re even dead.

     On the other hand, eating animal products can be good for you.

     If you’re experiencing a sugar crash – or trying to prevent or delay a sugar crash or sugar spike in your bloodstream – then eating meat can help.

     Having meat in your system causes fats to be present, which your body will burn for fuel (especially when there is little to no sugar around to be burned for that purpose).

     Since the lowest-pH meats tend to be the sweetest and most acidic, alkalinic meats would probably be the most helpful to prevent a sugar spike. The most alkalinic prepared meats are smoked kielbasa, followed by regular kielbasa, followed by sausages and hot dogs.

     [A note on sugar: It couldn’t hurt to drink a glass of water when experiencing a sugar spike. It will help dilute the sugar in your bloodstream, and bring the pH level back up towards 7. Take a glass of water after eating candies (especially hard candies and powdered candies) as well.]

     Also, cutting meat out of your diet means that you will need to find another source of B-12. If you don’t get some form of animal-product-based protein (at least one egg per week), then you need alternative sources of Vitamin B-12 (also called cobolamin). Animal product sources of B-12 include eggs, milk, cheese, and yogurt.

     You can get B-12 without using animal products; from foods that have been fortified with it, such as cereals, grains, and granola. But be warned that fortified foods can cause decreased absorption of micronutrients in people who are taking prescription medications for heart and thyroid problems.

     You’re depriving yourself of B-12.

     More information can be accessed in the 2005 film Earthlings, produced by Joaquin Phoenix. The film explains why veganism - or, at least, reducing our meat consumption - is an important path to living longer.

Rep. Brad Schneider's Staff's Racist Treatment of Black Employee Should Remind Us of Lynching, Tuskegee, Ethnic Cleansing

     Three days ago - on July 15th, 2021 - a story about racially disparaging remarks, made by an employee of Democratic Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider named Karyn Davidman, made international headlines, as the DailyMail published an article titled "Black staffer for Democrat Rep. Brad Schneider SUES his office after her white supervisor told her to 'get a rope and put it around her neck' then 'pigeon-holed' her when she complained".

     The article explains that, "According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Davidman relayed a story to [former staffer Patrice] Campbell regarding lanyards worn to secure face masks and used to guard against COVID-19 infection."

     It continues, "During the March discussion, Davidman told Campbell, who is the only Black employee in Schneider's office, according to the lawsuit, "You are going to have to get a rope and put it around your neck."

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9793147/Black-staffer-Democrat-Rep-Brad-Schneiders-office-supervisors-lynching-comments.html?fbclid=IwAR1BAc8gbsjwXy_Pl_xKcL7tBOYzp3CWF_Q1vuq42LckyqcElDlDMPIcT-s

     Presumably, Davidman told Campbell to use that rope as a lanyard, to help secure her face mask onto her face.
     Campbell considered this remark to be racially insensitive, because the comment about a rope reminded her of lynchings of black people.
     http://www.rollcall.com/2021/07/15/rep-brad-schneiders-office-sued-for-hostile-work-environment-retaliation-against-black-employee/?fbclid=IwAR0PzZx1XAuzluL7C98bzr

     I want to whole-heartedly condemn this reprehensible and racially (probably deliberately) insensitive behavior. No employee in the public sector should ever experience discrimination.

     [In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that I ran against Brad Schneider, as a write-in candidate, in 2016 and 2020.]

     Throughout mid-2020, when I attended various Black Lives Matter and George Floyd protests, I criticized Congressman Schneider's office for accepting money from what are arguably pro-war and racist sources.

     http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2020/02/where-does-congressman-brad-schneider.html

     Once at a B.L.M. event attended by Schneider, I drowned-out Schneider's speech as soon as he begun talking, with a chant of "Brad takes bribes from the Israeli lobby that trains our racist police (clap, clap)".

     I said this because Schneider's campaigns, combined, have accepted half a million dollars from the Israeli lobby, and $23,000 from the top companies servicing the Military-Industrial Complex (Boeing, etc.). This money was accepted at a time when it had recently been revealed that Israeli Defense Forces (I.D.F.) soldiers had been involved in a program to assist in the training of police officers from New York City. Numerous journalists have criticized this training program as racist, claiming that it teaches racial profiling. (Hence my chant)

     The treatment of Patrice Campbell by Karyn Davidman is especially horrifying to me, as a person who has criticized Schneider's office for racism in the past, and as someone who has studied the history of genocide and eugenics in the 20th century.

     I have suspected - since early 2020 - that (while the government underreacted in some areas) when the government overreacted to the Covid-19 outbreak, it sometimes disproportionately impacted racial and ethnic minorities (as well as the poor).

     For example:

     1) In the early days of the pandemic, a rumor spread that African-Americans could not get the disease, or were less likely to get the disease. Soon after, scientific data showed that the opposite was true.

     http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/08/us-blacks-3-times-more-likely-whites-get-covid-19

     2) Soon after California shut down, and six-foot physical distancing was ordered, Gavin Newsom was photographed sitting at a table with other members of the political elite, suggesting that being wealthy and powerful exempted them - but not the poor, who are disproportionately people of color - from coronavirus restrictions.

     3. African-Americans may be less likely, in general, to get vaccinated, because many African-Americans remember the Tuskegee Experiments (in which the government allowed men with syphilis to go untreated, after they were being told that they would receive free medical treatment from the government).

     Because Karyn Davidman told Patrice Campbell to use a rope around her neck to secure her face mask into place - supposedly "for her own good" or for the sake of her health - should remind all of us of not only the history of lynching, but also because of the Tuskegee Experiments.

     The Democrats are offering us "free medical care", but only on the condition that the costs of that "free" medicine be passed onto the next generation (instead of reforming taxes and the budget to solve the funding problem). They are also obligating the states and the people to relinquish their rights to regulate medical insurance.

     The Democrats also expect us all to submit to a progressive ideology that supports eugenics to every bit the same extent as the Republican Party ideology. The Democratic Party is the party of slavery, the party of conserving the environment so steadfastly (for attention) that they cease caring about humans' rights to live in harmony with nature, and the party of aborting black babies in the womb instead of solving the social and economic problems that lead people to want to get abortions.

     What happened to Patrice Campbell should remind us not only of lynching, the Tuskegee Experiment, and tempting people into tolerating fascism by offering promises of medical care (as the Nazis did when Germany annexed Austria).

     It should also remind us of several other events throughout history:

     1) The spraying of black people with fire hoses under the orders of Birmingham Commissioner of Public Safety Bull Connor;

     2) The spraying of atheist, socialist, and anarchist women in 1930s Spain, which was done by fascist, Carlist Spanish Catholics, in the name of "cleansing them of sin";

     3) The Bath Riots of 1917 (during the presidency of Democrat Woodrow Wilson), which took place at the Ciudad Juarez / El Paso border crossing. A teenage girl caused a riot after immigrant women - including pregnant women - were exposed to GASOLINE BATHS and ZYKLON-B. American border guards were also raping some of the girls and women. The women were told that they were being exposed to the harsh chemicals in order to "de-louse" them, despite the fact that the Mexican typhus epidemic ended ten years prior to this event. One of the women remarked, "Why do they think we're so dirty?"; and

     4) The Holocaust during World War II, in which the Nazis used the same chemical used by Americans to "de-louse" Mexican immigrants - Zyklon-B - to murder Jews (and people who helped Jews attempt to escape, and other "undesirables") intentionally.

     Nazis ordered Jews to enter shower chambers, and given bars of soap, and told to prepare for showers (which were then filled with poison gas). That shows that those Jews believed that they were being given medical treatment, in the form of a shower. But, of course, it turned out to be poisonous Zyklon-B gas (the vapor of hydrocyanic acid), and it killed them.

     We must not forget that the American use of Zyklon-B predates the Nazi use of it by more than twenty years. We must not forget that people have been lured into fascism - and to their deaths - with the promises of free medical care.

     Such "medical care" could include anything from therapeutic showers to being exposed to dangerous de-lousing chemicals (that either might or will kill you), to getting radiation for cancer therapy, to trying coronavirus drugs that carry high risks of heart disease, to being given Munchhausen's Syndrome, to being drugged with experimental anti-psychotic medications, to being emotionally traumatized through experimental psychotherapy, to being medically neglected, to being euthanized (euthanasia literally meaning "good death").

     The Nazi twin studies, and various grotesque experiments by Dr. Josef Mengele, were done under the guise of "medical research". So were the Tuskegee Experiments, and experiments that humanized mice, and "gain-of-function" research, and so many more.

     It should seem obvious to us, by now, that there is no possible way to read a white superior telling a black employee "get a rope and put it around your neck" to secure a face mask into place - other than a racially disparaging remark.

     This reflects and reveals an underlying racial bias - by the public government - against African-Americans. It is evident in the enforcement of Coronavirus restrictions recently, and in the eugenicist history of progressivism and neo-liberal "democracy" generally and historically.

     Schneider staffer Karyn Davidman did this because she thinks that black people are dirty, or at least more likely to pass coronavirus to her.

     Karyn Davidman said this because she is a racist, and her comment confirms that the Democratic Party is, and has always been and will always be, the party of the Ku Klux Klan (which openly supported the party during the first half of the 20th century).

     If Karyn Davidman wants Patrice Campbell to wear a mask so badly, then I suggest that Karyn Davidman first show herself for who she really is, by getting a hold of a white Klan mask, and securing it firmly over her own head.

     If people like Davidman are going to endorse this kind of treatment of African-Americans, then I suggest they move to Arizona and become Republicans. There, Republicans want to use Zyklon-B - the same chemical used to kill Jews in the Holocaust, and "de-louse" and humiliate Mexicans - as part of execution of death row inmates.

     We must not allow the government to tempt us into submission to fascism and eugenics as the "cost" of "free" medical care.

     We must not allow people to pressure or order us to submit to forcible sterilization; whether that comes in the form of sterilizing Native American woman and Mexican immigrants against their will with poisonous chemicals, or merely pressuring people to use hand sanitizers (some of which contain toxic wood alcohol) and allow others to spray them with Lysol in stores for not wearing masks.

     You are under no obligation to tell anyone whether you have been vaccinated, as the condition of entering private property. For one, you have a right - recognized by the Fifth Amendment - not to incriminate yourself. Second, H.I.P.A.A. laws protect doctor-patient confidentiality.
      [For more information, see the following link:
     http://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/february-2020-hipaa-and-novel-coronavirus.pdf
     "the protections of the Privacy Rule are not set aside during an emergency."]

     We must learn to recognize eugenicist behavior - and ethnic cleansing - when we see it, or we will not learn the full lessons of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement.

     There is no "national body" that can get sick, and we must stop subscribing to the fascist notions (i.e., corpus mysticum, the mystical body of the state; and the "social contagion theory") that there is.
     http://www.routledge.com/Contagion-and-the-National-Body-The-Organism-Metaphor-in-American-Thoug

     We can't get each other sick if we stay far away enough from each other. Please stay at least six feet away from me, and if necessary, tell me to stay at least six feet away from you. Aside from that, stop telling me what to do with my body.

     With the government as corrupt and discriminatory as it is, there is no need to further accustom ourselves to obeying whatever orders are given by others (that is, aside from "get away from me").
