I’ve said it many times over the years. I am a firm believer that the world of entertainment has been used since at least the 40’s if not earlier, to test ideas on the masses and groom them for acceptance of such ideas in real life. I’ve watched this play out with euthanasia, the homosexual agenda, environmentalism, and other subjects as well. I don’t watch much in the way of movies, but I do read reviews and sometimes plot lines to inform myself of what is going on occasionally in the entertainment world. Many times, those bits of info come to me uninvited, occasionally I go looking for them. I rarely come away from my observations without some tidbit tucked into the back of my head to keep a watch out for in the years to come.
In recent years (as in, the past 20), the testbed for such events as we’ve seen unfold over the past 1.5yrs has been largely in the gaming industry, but also in the occasional movie and interestingly enough, entire book series’ aimed at middle and high schoolers. The cartoons of the late ’80’s were testbeds for new age teachings that would become the basis for various forms of ethereal healers, therapists, and behavioural life coaching.
There is a shred of truth in every piece of fiction. It’s been said that life imitates art, or that art imitates life. However, it has been abundantly clear to myself and anyone paying attention, that the advent of mass delivery of entertainment became a very powerful vector for influencing mass acceptance of an idea, mass rejection of an idea, mass fear of an idea, or mass rage for or against an idea. It’s also been a great desensitizer, particularly in the gaming world where you often play a character involved in some form of storyline, given the option of choices where in real life, you wouldn’t have made any of those choices, but in the game, you have to pick one. The lifeboat classroom game on steroids!!!
Conditioning and desensitizing, along with carefully crafted stories, sound and imagery all work together to shift society where they want it to go on any new concept they plan to introduce down the road. The entire time, they simultaneously get people to believe that it’s all fictional, the stuff of fiction never happens in the real world, in the fictional realm you can be and do and say anything you want and it won’t affect you when you turn off the X-Box, GameCube, etc.
But the powerful nature of the entertainment world is so well known that product companies buy cameo spots to have their product or logo displayed “in-game” or “on-set”, or they sponsor a song or promote a series of books. Why??? Because the human mind will associate those products with what they are enjoying in the moment, and sales are positively affected!
So while gaming companies argue in court that their games don’t have that much sway on their players, the string pullers continue their march through the entertainment aisles.
I am a Sci-Fi fan. There are various books and movies I haven’t watched because they were far too sexualized or toyed with the horror and gothic horror genres. Then there are books, movies and TV shows I followed quite happily until they began going really strange on me with the subject matter they were starting to push. As a PC Repair Tech, my enjoyment of and fascination with Sci-Fi began to take on elements of what I was watching in the spirit realm as I looked over past and current historical events. No longer was I merely reading or watching for entertainment’s sake, but paying attention to messages in the visuals, acting, plot lines, and focus of the various pieces.
Now a fellow watchman has drawn the connection between a movie that came out the year I was born, and what we are facing now. He thought the connection was amusing, and initially I did too till I reviewed the plot line again.
Take a read-through. This is for the book/movie, not the mini-series. There are a few tidbits in the plot line that may sound familiar to those who are paying attention to current events.
This movie was released the year I was born, the book was written a few years earlier. Toward the end of the plot summary, you come across a mention that a lab had been developed just for such a virus!
I think its safe to say that we are now living in what is fast becoming a gothic horror medical thriller novel. (I’ve read a couple)

If you’ve been wearing the triple-layer commercially-manufactured face mask for the past 1.5yrs, despite Health Canada’s rollback on their recall back in the Spring, you may still want to switch to a cloth mask, if you bother with a mask at all. This article does mention Health Canada’s recall in April 2021 due to finding graphene in these masks, but Health Canada backtracked on that a couple months later.
The article linked to above goes into detail about the dangers of graphene, and reading the comments is eye-opening at times. In addition, a test by a group of Spanish scientists is discussed, along with correction of the language translation that is causing misunderstandings around the test in the English scientific world. This test isn’t about the masks, but about the so-called “vaccine” itself.
EDIT September 10, 2021:
At least two other scientist groups have also since made their own discoveries of graphene in all four of the major “vaccines”. Dr Young, a naturopathic doctor, leads one of these groups. View one of his interviews with Del Tree on Highwire, starting near the 58min mark. A similar interview is viewable here. His full paper is readable here, and not quite half way through the paper, you actually come across a parasitic surprise!
end edit.
EDIT January 21, 2022:
Dr Carrie Madej is a Christian integrative medicine doctor, who began looking further into the vaccine’s contents, thanks to a roundtable she’d been invited to earlier around the subject of “Human 2.0”. What came out at that meeting, combined with what she later discovers in all four major vaxx vials, made her cry in righteous anger! She shares those findings in this video. You can research various aspects of what she mentions just by entering those terms in a search box away from google. Her most upsetting discovery is the Hydro Vulgaris parasite. However, she also mentions the Nano-lipid envelope, and apparently, Nano-lipid refers to something called Hydrogel, a type of material the body doesn’t reject, that can protect contents inside, such as the graphene oxide this blog article is intended to discuss and that is discussed when considering graphene oxide in biotech applications.
end edit.
Various people have claimed here and there, that quarters magnetize on the injection site several months after the injection, that a vet’s pet chip finder locates something in her arm and reports a code from it, that others have people’s cellphones trying to lock onto them after injection, etc. This led to concerns there might be a chip in the vaccine, but the best I could uncover on that one led to syringes being chipped, but not the liquid itself. Questions and concerns starting to surface over something called graphene led me to the question: What would be the smallest stable presentation of a graphene magnet? This question grew out of the fact that graphene is currently being studied in the magnetic, electrical and digital data transmission spaces with an eye to stabilizing quantum computing. That led me to various discussions about the nature of graphene, how it behaves as a superconductor (spin-triplets) under high magnetic pressure (up to 10 Tesla so far) and eventually led me to this article I’ve linked to above.
One commentor observes that graphene oxide’s magnetic properties are inactive when frozen and become active when warmed up. Remember that most of the current “vaccines” out there must be kept below certain storage temperatures and this created problems for popup clinics in Vancouver BC due to the heat dome we were under here in BC in June/early July of 2021. Another commentor shared a number of links, one of which went to a bio-tech press release involving two companies researching how graphene would allow biotechnology to assist with or manipulate the Vagus Nerve in the brain, potentially taking over para-sympathetic behaviour.
EDIT: August 20, 2022
The above paragraph’s notes take on further significance when joined by the following quotes from an article Mercola released on today’s date. Note the reference below, to both magnetics and how heat affects the nanoparticles.
“The team used genetic engineering to express an ion channel in the flies’ neuronal cells that is activated by heat. Magnetic nanoparticles that become heated when a magnetic field is applied were injected into the flies, which were then placed in an enclosure with an electromagnet on top.”
“By changing the magnet’s field in a specified way, the researchers could heat the nanoparticles and activate the neurons. An analysis of video from the experiments showed flies with the genetic modifications assumed the wing-spread posture within approximately half a second of the magnetic field change,” according to Rice University.6″
““The long-term goal of this work is to create methods for activating specific regions of the brain in humans for therapeutic purposes without ever having to perform surgery. To get to the natural precision of the brain we probably need to get a response down to a few hundredths of a second. So there is still a ways to go.””
“There is certainly immense potential to use neuroengineering to positively influence human health. But there’s also immense potential for such technology to be abused, especially in the hands of an agency like DARPA.”
“Hydrogel is another DARPA invention, which involves nanotechnology and nanobots. This bioelectronic interface is part of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines’ delivery system. The biochip being developed by Profusa is similar to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in that it utilizes hydrogel.”
Discussion around graphene’s behaviour when inhaled made some commentors think of Asbestos and the health problems and lawsuits that have resulted from that problem over 50 years ago and that still crop up in older buildings to this day. Some of the commentors in the original article above are saying this would cause the kinds of lung problems that sent so many to hospital to be mistreated/ill-treated/wrongly treated and therefore dieing. As an asthmatic myself, seeing people intubated AND laying down made me darn near literally scream! When my own lungs fill with fluid, I sit up!!! Laying down is a surefire way to continue the drowning! Sitting up moves the fluids away from the bronchials allowing me to continue breathing, however shallow, until the asthma medication has kicked in allowing me to cough out the fluids! I’ve lived with this issue for over half my life!
The discovery by the Spanish scientists of graphene in the “vaccine” liquid is challenged by one scientist in the comments, but partially because of the translation into English. It has others seriously wondering now about the existence of the spike protein, but while the existence of COVID-19 itself seems to remain elusive, there are scientists out there who say they’ve not only researched and recommended use of the spike protein in the “vaccine”, but realized error in choosing to do that (a Guelph U of Ontario prof apparently warned of the “mistake” of using the protein in the “vaccine”). However, based on yet another commentor’s observations, graphene oxide can be disrupted using many of the same vitamins and minerals already suggested for preventing/treating COVID and denaturing or destroying the spike protein, including the mention of Quercetin in their list.
It is now a strong possibility that the reason for apparent magnetic/electronic behaviour going on in various people who have gotten “vaxxed” is because of the presence of graphene oxide. Considering most N95-style and 3-layer masks were being manufactured and shipped out from China, there are those now pointing the finger at China again, saying that the lung problems many have been hospitalized over and died from, were created by these factories dusting the masks with graphene and some boxes by some companies actually do state “contains graphene” right on the box. It is this Canadian’s opinion that Health Canada should not have rolled back their recall and should have maintained that masks containing graphene are a health hazard.
- First, we had a bioweapon escape the Wuhan lab in China which they admitted to in early March but that media jumped on as fake news and that governments, WHO and medical “experts” denounced as inaccurate.
- Second, we had the PCR test thrust on us that couldn’t tell one Corona Virus from another and threw up terrible numbers of false positives, feeding the panic the WHO was fomenting around the world.
- Third, we get shedding going on, causing irregular trouble for those who are unvaxxed being near those who are, and those who are vaxxed developing micro-clotting particularly near capillary areas. The threat here being identified as the spike protein in the “vaccine”.
- Now a fourth element enters the mix, most likely responsible for the pulmonary conditions that killed so many, graphene in the masks being delivered worldwide ostensibly to prevent people from spreading the COVID-19 virus or breathing it in.
The bio weapon introduces auto-immunity to those who catch it, however based on mainstream media sources only, the numbers of people who died from auto-immunity weren’t as high as anticipated, the masked infected numbers (which we can now more accurately refer to as masked-poisoned numbers) boosted the tallies necessary to make things look like a pandemic. Mask enforcement was mandated all the more heavily.
Cries for and apparent rushing around for a vaccine took place, along with rumours surfacing about viral vectors for vaccine delivery. I began researching that and found that of all the various viruses labs had found, one stood out as the best delivery method due to how easily it breached the blood-brain barrier. This was uncovered by researching into something called the “FUN Vaccine” or Fundamental vaccine as it was being researched back before 2011 for potential use to quell religious Islamic insurgents in Iraq. The idea for that vaccine was to dim or flip off, the “god gene” and by extension, reduce the religious fervor that drove groups such as Al Qaida. When I researched the idea of a chip in the vaccine, I found that one company’s single-dose syringes had been requested by a corporation related to the FDA, way back in May of 2020, supposedly before the cry for a vaccine actually happened in the media. Meanwhile, biotechnology companies had been researching ways to implant chips in the skin, the brain, and other methods of bio-electric health technology even earlier in the early 2000’s. I was reading about some of this stuff in 2004.
One of the notes in the research I uncovered over the “FUN vaccine” discussed aerial delivery such as from plane chem trails over areas of insurgency to deliver the viral-delivered vaccine through the atmosphere in localized areas. Currently scientists who study birds, are freaking out over thousands of birds on the east coast of North America, falling dead. Song birds as well as Corvids, and they are calling it a “mystery illness” and are scrambling to figure out what is causing it. I can’t help sitting over here going, “hmmmmm. . . “
Bird lungs are far smaller than human lungs, and we already know from watching West Nile that if Corvids start dropping in your area, to call Conservation and the local health authority, because West Nile can and has jumped to humans. In the case of this “mystery illness” that seems to be hitting birds and then they die within hours of catching it, songbird and corvid alike, they claim they don’t yet know what it is. However, it is already noted above that if inhaled, graphene causes similar lung trouble and potentially death.
Are they experimenting with aerial spraying of a viral vaccine delivery system containing graphene? We will have to watch those areas for human uptick at the hospitals.

Various disasters over the years have shown that when God’s people are able to jump in with relief, medicine, and whatever forms of assistance are required, those who are unsaved are often more receptive to the Gospel being shared alongside the cup of cold water.
We are watching the setup for disasters that Scripture has foretold would come upon the earth before the Rapture would take place. These disasters are not to be confused with the Great Tribulation, but are a lead-up to that time according to Christ’s words in Matthew 24. As believers, we are to be ready to share the Gospel at all times, and ready to give to those in need.
There are many other verses in Scripture that talk about this, but the three that keep rolling around my head these days are these:
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
1 Timothy 5:8As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Proverbs 3:27-28
It is interesting to read the verses just before those in Proverbs 3. The verse in Timothy is in the middle of a series of verses discussing meeting the needs of those who may be deemed less fortunate within the Church body. The idea that someone would not provide for the needs of those within his own family was clearly anathema to God as He inspired those words through Paul to Timothy. But God doesn’t expect our support of family to be kept within our own four walls. Scripture is clear on various occasions that not only do we provide for ourselves and our own homes, but for those nearby and even for those far away. This is why we give to local charities, local missions groups, local outreach groups and those who are overseas as well.
As the times get darker, refusing to take steps to look after the needs of your own household is both short-sighted and presuming upon God to do for you what you otherwise have the means to do for yourself, means that He gave you. I am occasionally seeing people say they will rely on God for their provision if the days get so dark they can’t provide for themselves. I am seeing voices say we shouldn’t be focussed on providing for the day we can’t shop and be more focussed on sharing the Gospel.
Scripture would have me focus on both. Provision for my household, laying something by to help someone else in need if I can put it by, and reaching them with the Gospel at the same time. We can’t be Christ’s hands and feet if all we focus on is being His mouth, and yet Scripture demonstrates Christ meeting people’s needs for health and food just as He spoke to their spirits.
So let us not be unwise in forsaking the long-term provisional needs of our households, but be wise with the resources God has provided already, so that when calamity comes, and it’s already here in various parts of the world, we are able to not merely survive, but help others as well. We can truly be God’s hand extended when hard times come.

West Nile Virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne disease that arrived on North American shores in the late ’90’s, is a virus that tends to scare people when they first hear about it. For 90% of the human population, there is nothing to fear from this virus, the remaining 10% may come down with some form of encephalitis or meningitis which in even fewer cases, can lead to spinal paralysis affecting some portion of the body.
Birds, particularly Corvids (your crows, ravens, magpies, etc) are rather susceptible to this virus. If you see them starting to die off in numbers higher than usual for your area, it is time to notify your local animal conservation branch so they can begin some sort of mosquito control in your area. Larger animals such as dogs and horses, can develop encephalitis and either die from it, or act in a drunken state due to the intense infection going on in their head.
Most sources I’ve looked at, say that if a human comes down with WNV, most times it will be a mild case that makes them think they’ve caught the summer cold or the summer flu, and they treat it accordingly, usually to great success. Harsher symptoms may mean treatment at the hospital and as noted, severe cases can result in paralysis.
What is interesting, is a note in one article stating that for harsher to severe cases, anti-viral treatment methods often don’t work. Incubation of the virus after being bitten is anywhere from 3 to 14 days, which is typical of what we often ascribe to colds and flus.
Of concern at this point in current history, Healthline reports that having an impaired immune system can increase your risk of severe WNV symptoms. This same report mentions that studies are now being done on whether Interferons can help treat encephalitis. In other words, will assisting your immune system help treat these harsher symptoms?
Other treatment methods are being explored as well, most of them from a mainstream medical perspective where one source claimed that Interferon use may actually be detrimental to the cause, but said that corticosteroids are being tested for potential use.
At this point in this article, I am going to switch gears for a few moments and then tie it back to WNV.
As one interested in getting my Biblical Natural Health Practitioner’s Diploma from New Eden, and never having had much faith in the mainstream medical system since my kids were very small, the worlds of natural medicine, food as medicine, and functional medicine (also known as integrative medicine) have increasingly appealed to me to where I and my daughter now research wild plants for use in our own foods, medicines and hygiene products. She wants her herbalist certificate very badly now that we’ve undergone 1.5years of a manufactured global health crisis.
But that health crisis is opening the doors to other methods of treating what used to be considered only manageable at best or untreatable at worst. That same crisis has broadened our (my daughter and I) understanding of the foods, herbs and spices we generally have in our home and just how useful they are in the current viral landscape.
We have an anti-malarial list of foods that are available to North Americans either at the local store, or out in the wild. These foods contain a few different compounds spread across the list, some that have quercetins in them just like HCQ, others have insecticide capabilities like Ivermectin, some blow up the virus, bacteria or parasite in the bloodstream just like onions and garlic do, etc. A couple of the foods in this list are also listed in a scientific document that lists off all the ways interferon can be boosted in the body. I won’t share that document here because it lists quite a large number of unhealthy ways to do that and some of those ways are regularly engaged in by people who don’t care about their health and abuse it. Too much Interferon actually DOES cause issues with your immune system, but not enough Interferon nearly has the same list of issues. You can get info on this from reputable doctors such as Dr. Mercola.
A similar list of foods is known to interfere with the spike protein given off by the so-called “vaccine” for COVID-19. Several of those foods are also on the anti-malarial foods list.
This brings me back to talking about WNV. HCQ, originally developed as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, was found to be extremely useful in treating malaria for well over 70 years now in places around Africa. Several sources state that it is “the drug of choice” across Africa for treating Malaria and that even the World Health Organization recommends it for use in treating WNV, Lassa fever, Malaria, etc. Now it should be noted that Malaria is known as a parasitic infection, not a viral infection. Keep that in mind.
One of the main reasons HCQ is so effective is the presence of Zinc in the blood stream. If you are low on this mineral, HCQ may not do much for you regarding treating COVID-19. However, the good news is that Zinc is necessary to unlock the most bio-available form of Iron to humans found in red meat. Zinc is found in leafy greens most readily, so a diet of red meat, healthy starches, healthy grains, fruits and green salads, will ensure your body has what it needs to fight off potential viral, bacterial, or parasitic threats. Yes I’m a rebel in the nutrition space and believe in all things in moderation rather than cutting out a given quadrant of the food table.
So HCQ + Zinc along with Azithromycin, treat COVID-19. HCQ itself has been used for 70 years or more to treat Malaria, and what should I find when researching any connection between HCQ and West Nile Virus??? But the WHO recommending it for WNV in “third world” countries too!
Now, Webmd, the medical site some hate, some love, and many treat as a medical form of Wikipedia, restates many of the claims that WHO makes and that history already records about the various uses of Hydroxychloroquine. What they say below the list of possible treatment uses is interesting. I quote:
“Experts aren’t sure how hydroxychloroquine helps. They think it’s because the drug changes how your immune cells send signals. It can also turn off certain processes that cause inflammation.”
This lack of full knowledge of how HCQ works is reflected in a number of links I looked at for this article.
A Thailand doctor’s take on treating WNV involved Zinc, Vit C (strong dose), and two other ingredients you can read here. This was from 2012. Another article on this same domain contains more food-as-medicine concepts related to the treatment of WNV. As you read through the blog articles and the comments on both links here, you’ll start to see a trend, and this trend is no accident.
Vitamin C helps you fend off the usual corona viruses (colds and flus) every year because it contributes directly to strong bones and teeth. Strong bones create healthy levels of blood that your body pumps around to deliver nutrition and fight off invaders. The blood cells that do the fighting are your white blood cells, or antibodies. They contribute to your overall healthy immune system. When you lower your immune system, you become susceptible to colds, flues, viral pneumonia, and more recently COVID-19. However, because COVID-19 seems to be introducing auto-immune deficiencies/disorders/diseases into people who previously didn’t have them, maintaining one’s healthy immune system as a prevention method is even more imperative now.
Vitamin D is also very important to maintaining one’s healthy immune system and it is highly recommended that those living in the Northern hemisphere take Vitamin D supplements during the less sunny months, or if they spend most of their time indoors. 10,000 IU is often the suggested maintenance dosage but it is wise to seek your naturopath’s advice if you are at all in doubt.
Typically, one’s immune system gets lowered in the following over-arching ways (meaning, these are broad umbrellas with many smaller, more specific methods under them which would take too long to exhaust here):
- Staying up late
- Partying
- Regular diet high in sugar, particularly processed sugar (health bugs really like their sugar!!!)
- Alcohol ingestion (related to high sugar intake)
- Recreational drug habits
- Isolation from other humans (believe it or not, we teach our bodies what to fight off by being around other humans and fighting off anything they might be carrying)
- Breathing heavily-polluted air for prolonged periods of time (this goes for wearing a mask all day as well, as you are breathing in what your body is trying to dispell through your lungs)
- and the list could go on.
One of the biggest ways to avoid the cold and the flu is simply by not eating sweets every day, sugary drinks every day and getting a good night’s rest. However, because it is culturally acceptable in first world nations to engage in all of the above, even considered a normal part of everyday life, it is challenging for most people to learn how to live and eat in a way that maintains a healthy immune system.
When the body’s immune system is attacked and forcibly lowered such as with HIV, up to this point it’s been considered manageable at best, and various treatments have been explored since HIV/AIDS first became a massive problem in the ’80’s. What is interesting to note is that Ivermectin was being researched as a potential treatment for HIV over the past 9 years. This article states what India already knows, that Ivermectin is useful for treating WNV, and COVID-19, also known as SARS-COV-2. India was successfully keeping COVID-19 at bay across the country using Ivermectin, until the so-called “vaxx” came along, then deaths began to shoot up. One news report I chanced across, stated that India may actually charge their local WHO representative with Crimes against Humanity for insisting on the “vaxx” and downplaying Ivermectin. But look at the list this science paper suggests:
“Cell culture experiments have shown robust antiviral action towards a whole range of viruses, including HIV-1, dengue, Zika and West Nile Virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Chikungunya, pseudorabies virus, adenovirus, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Close to 70 clinical trials are currently in progress worldwide for SARS-CoV-2. Although few of these studies have been completed, the results that are available, as well as those from observational/retrospective studies, indicate clinical benefit.”
Researching Ivermectin reveals a family of viruses known as “Flavivirus” or a polyprotein. Check out this abstract for a very interesting read back in 2012. I have PDF’d this particular abstract.
Another report lists both HIV type 1 and SARS-2 among the antiviral effects of Ivermectin in addition to treating WNV, yellow fever, Influenza A and Respiratory Syndrome. The article mentions this statement:
“… it could serve as a potential candidate in the treatment of a wide range of viruses including COVID-19 as well as other types of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.” Ivermectin was originally developed in the 70’s to treat River Blindness and Elephantiasis, parasitical infections, in Africa. Notice the term there, “positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses”. . .
Hmmm. . .
As for HCQ, a report published March 18, 2020, shared an interesting set of experiments and tests done inside China (never reported by mainstream media that I was aware of). One of the comments in this article says:
“HCQ is still widely available to treat autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.”
I’m going to quote a few lines here that are of interest to understanding not merely how HCQ works, but how COVID-19 works as well.
“Both CQ and HCQ are weak bases that are known to elevate the pH of acidic intracellular organelles, such as endosomes/lysosomes, essential for membrane fusion5. . . . Time-of-addition experiment confirmed that HCQ effectively inhibited the entry step, as well as the post-entry stages of SARS-CoV-2, “
The entry step referred to is
“through changing the glycosylation of ACE2 receptor and spike protein6”
Numbers by words are reference links in the original article.
“Since acidification is crucial for endosome maturation and function, we surmise that endosome maturation might be blocked at intermediate stages of endocytosis, resulting in failure of further transport of virions to the ultimate releasing site.”
Another note that directly relates to the issue and research around Interferons, is that
“HCQ is a safe and successful anti-inflammatory agent that has been used extensively in autoimmune diseases and can significantly decrease the production of cytokines and, in particular, pro-inflammatory factors.”
Remember our anti-malarial list of foods contains a number of foods where quercetins and quinines are constituents. HCQ is a quinine and based on this particular article, able to assist in calming cytokine storms. This bit of knowledge actually opens up a fair bit of the anti-malarial foods list to assisting with treatment in early stages of COVID-19 infection! Due to West Nile Virus causing severe inflammation in the nervous system, this means HCQ is a valid treatment for WNV as well.
In short, WNV can be treated by Ivermectin, HCQ, etc.

It’s interesting to observe, as my mind flits through past historical accounts of manmade surveillance vs God’s surveillance through the centuries, that man’s usage of state surveillance has always been, without fail, on the harsher end of the stick than the benevolent. While yes, history records God wiping out whole civilizations whose ways were an abominable stench before Him, Scripture records the ways God always provided a way out if the people would take it. When the people wouldn’t take it, He had no choice but to deliver consequences. Generally-speaking, man’s idea of providing a way out of their consequences is to renounce any effort to follow God’s ways and mold to depraved man’s demands.
When you look at God’s ways vs man’s ways, God’s version of watching you vs man’s version of watching you, God’s consequences vs man’s consequences, something else comes to the surface. . .
Even in man’s depraved, sinful state, God’s laws are STILL written on their hearts, including consequences. But in man’s depraved state, penalty for going against what they deem to be right and wrong is dealt with using an Old Testament ferocity. Right and Wrong may be royally skewed in their minds, but going against their ideas of right and wrong is so harsh that one could be forgiven for wishing they were under God’s rule again.
Depraved man’s punishment is incredibly harsh and unforgiving! Look at the culture of offense, springing up in just the past 5+ years morphing into “cancel culture” in just 1.5 years’ time. The idea that if you dig into a person’s past far enough, you’ll find something so offensive that you can use it to wipe their name off whatever map they are trying to get onto right now. There is no forgiveness in the mind of depraved man. There is only revenge, vengeful thoughts and behaviours, turning on each other at the slightest deviation from demanded norms. When at one time they cried foul at Christians and their morals and ethics claiming they were shoving such things down their throats, the tide has turned and now it’s depraved man’s way or the highway and they’ll be sure to strew that highway with as many spike belts as they can throw out, unaware that in their helter-skelter efforts to chase you down to do you in, they’ll trip over those very spike belts themselves.
It’s interesting how much of this is actually in Scripture. Proverbs says
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. Proverbs 26:23-28
Proverbs also says that the evil man lays wait for his prey and becomes prey himself:
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. Proverbs 1:18
We are watching the Liberal Left eat their own! They can’t agree on the moral/ethical/political/societal norms they demand and what they allowed only 5 years ago is now anathema by anyone who takes part in it. How do they expect that for decades, they’d ruin America’s view of sexuality, then rail on about how offensive it is that any leader of society would engage in such deviated behaviour except those they are trying to shove down everyone’s throat? Just as one example, but this example has been successfully used in the past 6 years to dethrone anyone they don’t like from any position they want their own people in instead.
As believers, we are to uphold God’s ideas of political/moral/ethical/societal behaviour, not those of the entertainment industry, not those of the mainstream media, not those of the political liberal left, God’s ways only! This means we are fast becoming the enemy of the state as has happened at many times throughout recorded history.
We must pray asking God for wisdom, insight, foresight, discernment, understanding, and the boldness and the means to put those day-to-day-rubber-meets-the-road-boots-on-the-ground revelations into practice.
Psalm 10, 59 and Micah 7 are good reads for the time we now live in. I encourage you to look up those three chapters and give them a read, then pray about them and where western society is at this time. As God leads you, take the action He directs as He directs it, even if it goes against what other believers around you are saying or doing or approving/disapproving of. Be watchful, be wise!

A “worship” song was introduced to my church roughly a year before the “pandemic” hit. Most of the song is fine theologically-speaking, but the bridge has given me, my daughter and a few others, serious pause where we can’t sing it.
The bridge goes like this: “It’s rewriting my history. It covers me with destiny. It’s making all things right, the precious Blood of Christ”. This bridge gets repeated at least 4 to 6 times before launching back into the rest of the song.
The problem here, is that the Blood of Christ doesn’t rewrite your history. It takes your sin and plunges it under the cleansing flow. The consequences of your sin live on. The consequences of your sin is part of what created the history you have. The Blood of Christ does not reverse the consequences of your sin, rewriting your history. In being justified by the Blood of Christ, we stand before God as if our sins never happened. The person affected by your half-truth may or may not forgive you. The person who died because of the car accident you caused, won’t come back to life because you came to Christ. The items that you stole and sold may never get back to their original owner because you repented and asked God’s forgiveness. Your history is still your history, but now the sting of that history, the sting of your sins, is removed and under the Blood. Because your Salvation experience doesn’t wipe out your past, there is no guarantee that all will be made right in this life. God is a God of reconciliation, yes. However, even God knows that reconciliation isn’t possible all the time between all parties.
These two lines appear to be taking a few thoughts from Scripture and applying them in ways that are not true or accurate. Let’s look at a few verses here:
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psalms 51:6-7Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:16-18Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Mark 14:24
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:22-29
The reference in Hebrews gives title to the song whose lyrics we are discussing here. Specifically this verse:
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Hebrews 12:24
The reference here is to what God told Cain back in Genesis:
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. Genesis 4:8-10
One theme that comes out across these verses and others like them, is that Christ’s blood was given for the remission of sins. We like to quote the verses:
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:12
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19
However, this is the removal of our transgressions, not the consequences of our transgressions on lives and circumstances around us. Paul writes of himself this way:
And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
Acts 22:18-21And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1 Timothy 1:12-16
Did Stephen come back to earthly life after Paul got saved? No, he didn’t. Paul’s history was not wiped out or rewritten. It was forgiven!!! Life here on earth carries on after Salvation. The dead stay dead. The lives changed due to severe injury don’t suddenly revert to pre-injured life. Destroyed goods and property don’t suddenly show up in former useful condition. The consequences of our sins many times are never reversed. Those consequences are often what give many Christians passions for ministry as they seek to reach out to those suffering the same ways they did prior to coming to Christ.
Paul wrote concerning old ways and new ways:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
This appears to be the verse most drastically taken out of context for the bridge of this song! Paul isn’t saying here and doesn’t say elsewhere that his past is wiped out. But he does say his past has no bearing anymore on his eternal future or on how he lives life going forward. Our past reminds us why we need Christ and need to remain under His Blood. In Christ, we are new creatures and able to leverage the lessons from our past to bring others to Christ, that if Christ could forgive us, He can forgive others as Paul writes to Timothy. We are no longer bound in sin, but free to live as God asks us to live. Paul writes at length on this topic in the first half of the book of Romans. Paul talks about giving the old man a knock-out punch on a regular basis, because sin has a way of repeatedly trying to call to us. The sinful man is no more, spiritually speaking, and earthly-speaking moving forward in a daily life impacted by the sinful actions of the past.
The line: It’s rewriting my history, is a false statement as a result. This is not an accurate interpretation of the justification we have in Christ before God and is actually very New Age in it’s interpretation. Only in New Age thinking are memories rewritten to be what we want them to be. Over and over in Scripture, God calls His people to remember where they came from.
Paul writes in Romans:
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:20-23
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Ephesians 2:11-16
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:5-17
That last reading above doesn’t merely remind us of our past, but tells us to take action that in Christ, it doesn’t ever become our present again either. This is done a number of ways that he spells out here, the biggest of which is dwelling on the Word of Christ! No, our past is not being rewritten. Our history is not being rewritten. Our destiny is what has been rewritten!
The one line in the bridge of that song that is closest to the truth is covering us in destiny. The Blood of Christ gives us a hope and a future only found in Christ and no other.
We must be careful not to allow New Age thought to infiltrate and decide our doctrinal and theological understandings of what Christ did for us and who we are in Christ. Don’t sing songs in Church just because the worship leader is leading them. If there is something not doctrinally sound, something that doesn’t sit right theologically, something that tweaks you as not quite right but you can’t put a finger on it, stop singing that lyric or set of lyrics. Literally just shut your mouth in those moments. What you say is taken by your subconscious mind as validated information. Scripture tells us to guard our mouths and even gives us a prayer to ask the Holy Spirit to put a guard over our mouths.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Psalms 141:3
For “the person who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. 1 Peter 3:10 (ISV, not my usual KJV for this verse)
New Age thought is very deceptive! It sounds good on the surface, it can be wrapped in Christian language even, but it is deceptively misleading and has given rise to some strange teachings in various Christian counselling circles since I first recognized it at age 12 well over 30+ years ago now.
Scripture says we can deceive ourselves by what we say.
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; Deuteronomy 11:16
Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. Jeremiah 37:9
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Titus 3:3-5
So I write this blog article today, concerned that what is coming out of many believer’s mouths in music, is deceiving themselves into believing things that sound Christian, that sound Biblical, but when you actually go to the Scriptures, they are anything but! Listen to sound doctrine! Sing sound doctrine! Don’t sing it if it isn’t 100% true!

It’s been interesting, watching how Canadians have handled the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s efforts over the past number of years. I watched a well-respected Indigenous Christian educator and musical artist get so wrapped up in people’s stories, that she lost her marriage and began blocking anyone who tried to bring her back to a more balanced view of life. It was very sad to watch. I’ve seen others who have called for forgiveness among their people, and who have done everything they can to promote true Biblical, heartfelt reconciliation. The band “Broken Walls” is huge on this front, and their drummer is a certified suicide counsellor in Alaska. The rest of the band lives here in Canada, out toward Ontario.
The recent “pandemic”, a situation blown out of proportion by the WHO, and every government who followed their lead, gave rise to a bothersome trend that only partly has it’s roots in the histories of the US (BLM) and Canada (TRC), but that has been used to great length by those who would rewrite history to vengefully turn racism in any form on it’s head against the white man. Companies and organizations have forgotten that tribes existed in Europe as well as in Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific Islands. In the US, anyone associated with slavery in any way now has their names and images being destroyed just as they used to do in Ancient Egypt. Here in Canada, anyone associated with genocidal behaviour toward the first nations is getting the same treatment. Just this week, Captain Cook’s statue in Victoria BC got torn down and tossed into Victoria Harbour. A picture of the news includes red dresses hung on poles around the statue and one on top. This references the Missing and Murdered Women Inquiry which has honestly been dragging it’s feet while First Nations women continue to disappear, turn up murdered, or suffer rape. Much like what is happening among black people in the US, many of these crimes are from other First Nations people against their own women. Unfortunately, vandalism doesn’t further anyone’s agenda. Destruction of history doesn’t change what happened in history. Instead of learning from it, there is a disturbing trend to wipe it out.
So it was with some relief that a project in Vancouver BC, down on Commercial Drive, was met with positive action and voices among those who took part. Two First Nations people who helped out said that they needed to help with this project, and that it brought healing to them. What was that project? Was it tearing down statues? Was it burning down churches on reserves after unmarked graves were found at a number of residential school sites? No! This project was painting “Every Child Matters” on the pavement along one block of Commercial Drive! Instead of destroying history, this is choosing to move forward with a declaration that EVERY CHILD MATTERS!!! Those involved in this project have my respect. Those involved in the destruction of history and public property have my concern, dismay, and disdain.
Those who are lashing out destructively will not move forward as well as those who are finding ways to heal. As one whose cousin’s two son’s were adopted by tribes in Ontario a few years back, (their mom and I share the same grandma, she on her dad’s and me on my mom’s) there is potential for us to be members of those who are split in their behaviours and actions about their past.
I come from the belief that you can’t change the past, but you can change the future. Maybe you didn’t have a say in what happened to you then, but you have a say in what choices you make now going forward. You can’t control how others view or interact with you, but you can control how you choose to interact with them.
Can’t get past some event or historical situation? Ask God for help! Emmanuel, Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ Himself, is ready and waiting to do what only He can do in your life. Reach out to Him, ask Him to forgive your own sin past or present, thank Him for His gift of eternal Salvation, and ask Him to come into your heart and life and lead you in a new way. He never ignores such a prayer, EVER! Change may or may not come quickly, that is very individual, but as time goes on, you’ll look back and see how indeed He did help you move forward. But God is a gentleman and won’t move into any area you refuse to let Him into. So invite Him into ALL areas of your life! You won’t regret it! Will life become suddenly easier to live? No it won’t. It can even get more difficult depending on the reactions of others around you. But now you’ll have God on your side to get through those times in ways you wouldn’t have been able to in the past AND you have eternity to look forward to away from all the pain and suffering earthly life brings with it.
It is certainly interesting to watch the various groups work out how they feel about how life treated them or their ancestors. Rest assured, those choosing positive action will go farther than those tearing down every hint of history they don’t like, can’t live with, or haven’t figured out how to move past. History is full of the good, the bad, the terrible, and the amazing. I’ll ask you a question God often asks me: Where is your focus???

Sometimes, birthdays, anniversaries, and special days on the calendar become the day when something terrible, or negatively-unexpected happens, forever leaving that day as a reminder to the event instead of the reminder of the day’s intended celebrations. For many in Lytton BC, today will become known as the day a summer fire took out the entire town, causing great loss. Unmarked graves are being uncovered using ground-penetrating radar at more residential schools across Canada. BC has had over 486 “sudden deaths” during the heatwave that we hope is starting to break. Today was 39C, tomorrow is due to be 35C, then two days so far at 32C, BUT, we have smoke that may roll in over the weekend from a number of fires around BC, and a few as close as our local ski hill where 3 small fires are burning 20km away from the hill and are now at 1400ha collectively. I hope the smoke doesn’t come in too heavily as I’m supposed to be doing a small yard sale as part of the larger neighbourhood yard sale Sunday morning.
With all of that going on, Today is Canada Day. The official day of Canada’s founding as a nation. Our indigenous first nations people are divided whether today should have been “cancelled”. Some said to cancel it due to the graves being found, others said we need to keep the holiday and use it to unify rather than divide so Canada can move forward better than we were in the past.
I’m inclined to step in with the latter group. Name one nation on the globe that doesn’t have a dark blight somewhere in it’s history and I’ll show you a unicorn. (in Scripture, the unicorn was an ibex with it’s horns twisted together) Germany didn’t cancel itself after Hitler murdered millions of Jews and other ethnicities. But people are trying to cancel history like no other time in history, and now trying to cancel Canada Day as well.
Today was a muted Canada Day for me because of both Lytton, and the residential school findings. It was also muted because due to the heat, our local parade got cancelled. Lastly, it was muted because a walk I took this afternoon nearly did me in with the 38C heat and a wind that only occasionally had a cool current in it. Hot wind is suffocating to try to breathe in!
I am relieved that the mask mandate has officially lifted provincially, and that I can now go about my errands like I used to. I am frustrated that I may have to dig out my bandanna because of incoming forest fire smoke!
Canada is the nation God placed me in for this time and season. It isn’t perfect, but it is my home. Happy Canada Day! May God grant comfort to those who need it today. Provision to those who need it today. And Safety to those who need it today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Looking for a fun way to boost your immune system in the new viral landscape, potentially protect against “vaccine” shedding, and a low-dose way to feed your brain, your endocrine and your cardiovascular systems? Then Look no further than the Canadian A&W Rootbeer recipe! Seriously! Check out this news release from July 2017!
How the heck does a pop (Americans might call it a soda) have such a lofty list of benefits??!!
Did you know that pop or soda, was actually a way to deliver medicine several centuries ago? If you look up how to make your own rootbeer, you’ll come across two recipe ingredient lists on average, and forums/blog comments on those recipes that will very quickly make you realize just how bitter these two recipes turned out to be when no sweetener was added. Barq’s (Barq’s Has Bite) Rootbeer replaces Licorice Root with Burdock root, which explains the “bite” in their slogan. Burdock is very high in anti-inflammatory/anti-bacterial compounds. But back to the Canadian recipe for A&W Rootbeer:
As noted on their news release, their commercial rootbeer underwent a major change in 2017, to now include the following ingredients:
Sarsaparilla root,
This plant, outside of India (their plant of the same name does not have the same properties) is a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxident, enhances bioavailability of other compounds, is a hormone regulator, and a cancer inhibitor.
Sarsaparilla root contains caffeoylshikimic acid (though not enough to be considered a source of caffeine), shikimic acid, ferulic acid, sarsapic acid, kaempferol, quercetin alongside vitamins A, B-complex, C and D, and the minerals iron, manganese, sodium, silicon, sulfur, copper, iodine, aluminum, chromium, magnesium, selenium, calcium and zinc. Whew that’s a long list! Check out these sources below for more info on this root:

Licorice root,
This plant boosts Interferon Y (IFN-Gamma), contains anti-malarial compounds, essential phytonutrients such as flavinoids, polyphenols, thymol, beta-carotene, quercetin, and phenol. It is an expectorant, adaptogen containing phyto-estrogen, anti-inflammatory, can treat ulcers, is a laxative, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal. It’s been known to treat depression, adrenal fatigue, and similar maladies.
Licorice root also contains several amino acids, manganese, B vitamins and phosphorus. Check out these sources for more information on this very yummy root: (I like to chew on the root itself as a treat!)

Birch bark
This tree’s bark and leaves are anti-malarial, boosts Inteferon-Y(IFN-Gamma), are known to help cleanse the body, maintain healthy skin and combat inflammation.
Both the bark and the leaves contain vitamin C, saponins, and flavonoids.
Birch bark sap is a solid source of potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, and phosphorus as well as vitamin C and Thiamine.

Anise seed
Anise seed contains a wide range of B vitamins, vitamins A and C, folates, potassium, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper and calcium.
Anise seed oil extract has been used as a stomachic, treat depression, antiseptic, anti-spasmodic, anti-fungal, digestive aid, expectorant, stimulant, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and tonic as well as being a cardiovascular regulator, and gabba booster for the brain.
Here are three articles you can read for more info on this seed:

Notice how several of these ingredients contain compounds we know to be anti-malarial? Notice how many contain Vitamin C? Notice how many of them are anti-bacterial, anti-oxident, anti-viral, anti-fungal and are system regulators?
One ingredient in this list caught my attention because it contains Shikimic Acid. This acid has been researched to be the active ingredient promoted to protect unvaxxed people from the shedding occurring from those “vaccinated” against Covid-19. A quizzical lab technician had to research this as he’d heard about the growing news around Pine Needle Tea as a protection agent and wanted to know if this was fact or fiction in the world of natural health. Check out the results of that research at this link.
While many out there scoff at the idea of a vaccine causing shedding, the news is seemingly confirmed by Pfizer themselves. Though some are questioning how it’s worded in the PDF , the issue remains that the concerns mentioned are being felt by growing groups of people, so they are looking for ways to deal with it. Some of them can be read in the comments of this linked article.
The biggest way so far is the concept of Pine Needle Tea, and this has raised the controversy once again over Ponderosa Pine Needles. Ponderosa Pine needles are high in astringent properties, making them unsafe for pregnant or nursing mothers. In addition, they carry the same warning for most other conifer needles one might choose to consume, and that is not to consume in high quantities, so it is unwise to make a tea solely of this particular pine needle, or any conifer needle for that matter. I write about this needle’s controversy on my daughter’s wildcrafting tea website. As I assist her in her tea business, we decided based on such warnings, never to make JUST a conifer tea of any type, but always to create blends with non-conifer ingredients. This ensures moderation for those who are safe to drink astringent teas.
Pine needles, as noted in the lab tech’s article above, don’t rely on any one or two breeds of pine tree. All pine trees have the acids in question to some degree, but as already stated, all things in moderation!!!
If you are looking for a Pine Needle tea but nervous about crafting one yourself, check out my daughter’s blend on her website. This is sold in Canada and therefore cannot contain medical advice of any kind, no guarantees, no assurances, etc. Articles related to several of the ingredients are listed on the tea’s ingredients tab, including the debate around Ponderosa pine needles and their safety.
But Pine Needle Tea is not the only way to deal with the threat of shedding. I’ve written about use of the comfrey plant in an oil salve made for my daughter’s horse. I’ve recently learned it too is high in Shikimate, as is a very common herbal tea out there, Ginko Biloba. If Ginko Biloba is your tea of choice, consider yourself well on your way to protection against any potential “vaccine” shedding!
Another ingredient on the anti-malarial list, is St. John’s Wort. Apparently it has Shikimate throughout the entire plant, flowers included. As this plant is primarily a medicinal plant, be sure to follow medicinal guidelines when consuming it. For average usage, your local health food store, herbalist, or naturopath can give you average doses, time durations, etc.
Even the Canadian A&W Rootbeer bottle should be consumed in moderation, particularly if you have a history of cardiovascular, digestive or kidney-related issues. If you are on medications for conditions in those categories, you should not drink A&W rootbeer from Canada, nor Barq’s Rootbeer. If you are pregnant or nursing, you shouldn’t have either of these pops then or you may risk going into labour early or having issues with your milk.
But if you have none of those contraindicators, conditions or state of parenthood, then by all means, DRINK YOUR ROOTBEER! But not just any rootbeer! If you read the label and it has none of the ingredients listed here, put it back on the shelf and move on. Don’t go out and grab a bottle just because I told you so. Be critical, be discerning, and make sure you are grabbing the right stuff! (Remember, in Canada, health claims can’t be made on regular food products, so these are called flavours instead)
A&W Canada Sat, 03 Jul 2021 14:11:02 -0700
All the A&W Root Beer® sold in our restaurants is now made with natural cane sugar and natural flavours. You can also purchase new 4 pack glass bottles of this root beer, which can be found in A&W restaurants and in the craft soda aisle of select grocery stores. We are still working on the plastic bottles and cans of A&W Root Beer® and the recipe for these hasn’t changed yet.
Cheers,
A&W Canada
Grabbing the right stuff is certainly a fun way to stay healthy now, hey???
