Is fluoride helpful or dangerous to human beings? Read this Mercola article, check out the references, and make up your own mind. It seems to me there is a trade-off between potentially fewer dental cavities and potentially more infant brain damage. The answer seems like a no-brainer to me, but I only have control over my own behavior. Each of us needs to make up our own minds, based on the evidence available to us, and act according to our conscience. ARTICLES.MERCOLA.COM Fluoride on Trial

Homeopathic medicine - from "Americans for Homeopathy Choice". The FDA is proposing to reclassify all homeopathic medicines. This would allow them to declare all homeopathic medicines illegal, and withdraw any or all of them at any time. This is a serious threat to the use of homeopathy as a healthy, alternative medicine. We at Americans for Homeopathy Choice submitted a petition to the FDA urging them to reconsider this classification. This petition is supported by 20 leading homeopathy organizations. When you leave a comment through the AFHC website, it goes directly to the FDA, as well as your members of Congress and other federal officials. Our goal is 100,000 comments.

COVID-19 death rate - if I am doing the math correctly, it appears that the death rate continues to hover around 0.29%, about the same as the seasonal flu. For this we shut down the country and are living in fear? Death is an inevitable part of life. None of us gets out of the world alive. We can choose whether to meet our death in fear, or in acceptance.. or even in anticipation. We do have control over our attitude, although it certainly does appear that we have no control over the behavior of the COVID-19 virus. https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/85354 MEDPAGETODAY.COM Track the U.S. COVID-19 Outbreak in Real Time

Do Trump supporters really have so little confidence in their candidate's strength and viability? Trump Supporters Disrupt Early Voting in Virginia https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/19/us/politics/trump-supporters-early-voting-virginia.html?referringSource=articleShare The only requirement for evil to flourish is for the good to stand by and say nothing. Voting is a fundamental and essential right in our republic. True, we vote for people who will in turn cast their vote hopefully as we request (by voting the electoral college members). Nevertheless, the expectation is that the electoral college will vote the way those who elected them wish. Somewhere along the line there is an expectation of honesty, truth-telling and a fundamental good will that carries us through hard times. Preventing people from voting by intimidation - or physical dominance - has NO PLACE in our Republic, to which we have pledged our allegiance. Disrupting voting, no matter which party we ascribe to, is a tactic unworthy to our great country and its people - whatever their race, skin color, ethnicity or age.

How do we choose to live in this pandemic world? I just read an article on Doximity which related to a story widely published in the media around the end of August - that the governor of Florida was urging people to fly back to Florida because air travel was safe and did not cause the spread of the COVID virus. The governor's theory on how the COVID virus spread around the world in such a short time? He did not have a theory - at least not in the news articles. People travel on airplanes, do they not? I'm pretty sure the major source of spread was not ocean-going vessels. But perhaps the COVID virus, like the lyme spirochete, requires contact for greater than 24 hours to be infectious? There are myths in all walks of life. I realize that sarcasm is the defense of the mentally weak and uninformed, but I find it difficult to imagine that someone who went to medical school might think the virus was less infectious at 5 minutes than it is at 5 hours. I admire SouthWest Airlines for keeping the airplanes flying, and for keeping a large part of their staff on payroll. But let's not fool ourselves that the virus is less infectious just because the total exposure time is only the length of a flight - or the proximity of fellow passengers was limited to 5 minutes. What if we just all let go of the fear, realized that this virus is a mutated cold virus with a mortality similar to influenza, and went on with our lives. At least we could stop living in fear, and move on. And if it makes some people feel better to wear a cloth mask, then by all means let them wear the cloth mask. If my lack of mask makes you afraid, then I am happy to wear the mask. I think it is more a matter of courtesy than of infection control. If we don't learn to live with this virus, we will live in fear for the rest of our lives. We do have the choice, to live in fear that we might die some day, or in gratitude that we are alive today.

The qualities of Leadership - from 1600 years ago, written by Lao Tzu: “All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power. If you want to govern the people, you must speak to them humbly. If you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them. “Therefore although the Sage is above the people, no one feels oppressed. When he is ahead of the people, no one feels hurt. The whole world never exhausts praises for him. Because he competes with no one, no one can compete with him.” Tao Te Ching, Chapter 66 Downloaded with thanks from https://tao-in-you.com/what-is-leading-by-following/ TAO-IN-YOU.COM What is 'leading by following'? -

Some definitions, for your consideration. A megalomaniac is a pathological egotist, someone with a psychological disorder who exhibits symptoms like delusions of grandeur and an obsession with greatness, power or wealth. A sociopath is a person whose behavior is antisocial, often criminally greedy, who lacks a sense of moral responsibility, empathy or social conscience. Sociopaths never sincerely apologize nor are they capable of exhibiting remorse for wrongs that they have committed. A narcissist is person who has an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration, sexual gratification, applause and a lack of empathy for others. A paranoid person or group exhibits excessive or irrational suspicion and distrust of other individuals or groups. A xenophobe is a person who is fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or of people from different countries or cultures. A demagogue is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.

Are women's immune systems stronger than men's? That makes some sense, since women have to be able to carry a fetus with potentially very different genetic information, while they are circulating blood around and through the placenta, which offers many opportunities for exchange of blood and genetic information. Perhaps, in the thinking of one epidemiologist, this explains why men are harder hit by COVID-19 than women. There is actually some evidence for this concept. Stay tuned, I am doing more investigation... https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2020/10/17/coronavirus-men-immune-system/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F2c31aa0%2F5f8b1d749d2fda0efb4c97ab%2F5c696757ae7e8a6cb9e4700d%2F9%2F67%2F852c693845ec4d64578ee9c65b664128 WASHINGTONPOST.COM Why the coronavirus is killing more men than women

A study published October 29,2020 in the Annals of Internal Medicine reports that asymptomatic infections with SARS-CoV-2 are high. It is therefore not possible to determine which people are infected and potentially spreading the virus, and which people are not infected and therefore not spreading the virus. In this case, wide spread mask use could help slow down the number of people becoming infected. ARIZONAADVANCEDMEDICINE.COM To Mask or Not to Mask – That is the Question

Banning glyphosate is a start at detoxification of our world. Not using glyphosate on our own grounds is another leg of the journey. We have only control over our own behavior. We can congratulate the citizens of New York State for passing legislation that bans glyphosate. We can write to our congressional delegates to urge the same legislation in Arizona. We can not use RoundUp anywhere on our property. And eventually the message will get through... or not. Whether other people hear the message is truly not within our control. But if enough of us are speaking and living that message, it will eventually be very hard to miss. SUSTAINABLEPULSE.COM New York State Bans Glyphosate Use on Public Property - Sustainable Pulse

The mortality rate remains steady at 0.016%. More and more variants are being found, opening the question of how long the current vaccine may be effective.

Outpatient treatment of COVID-19 - now we begin to see publications in the medical literature. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.643369/abstract Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19 In March 2020, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) was created and led by Professor Paul E. Marik to continuously review the rapidly emerging basic science, translational, and clinical data to develop a treatment protocol for COVID-19. The FLCCC then recently discovered that ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine, has highly potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties against COVID-19. They then identified repeated, consistent, large magnitude improvements in clinical outcomes in multiple, large, randomized and observational controlled trials in both prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19. Further, data showing impacts on population wide health outcomes have resulted from multiple, large “natural experiments” that occurred when various city mayors and regional health ministries within South American countries initiated “ivermectin distribution” campaigns to their citizen populations in the hopes the drug would prove effective. The tight, reproducible, temporally associated decreases in case counts and case fatality rates in each of those regions compared to nearby regions without such campaigns, suggest that ivermectin may prove to be a global solution to the pandemic. This was further evidenced by the recent incorporation of ivermectin as a prophylaxis and treatment agent for COVID-19 in the national treatment guidelines of Belize, Macedonia, and the state of Uttar Pradesh in Northern India, populated by 210 million people. To our knowledge, the current review is the earliest to compile sufficient clinical data to demonstrate the strong signal of therapeutic efficacy as it is based on numerous clinical trials in multiple disease phases. One limitation is that half the controlled trials have been published in peer-reviewed publications, with the remainder taken from manuscripts uploaded to medicine pre-print servers. Although it is now standard practice for trials data from pre-print servers to immediately influence therapeutic practices during the pandemic, given the controversial therapeutics adopted as a result of this practice, the FLCCC argues that it is imperative that our major national and international health care agencies devote the necessary resources to more quickly validate these studies and confirm the major, positive epidemiological impacts that have been recorded when ivermectin is widely distributed among populations with a high incidence of COVID-19 infections.
