Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[Dylou]

Cela me rappelle quelque chose...

La dernière fois que j'étais chez le médecin il y a six mois (une entreprise de soins de santé privée auprès de laquelle le métro de Stockholm achète des services), l'infirmière a d'abord mesuré ma tension artérielle avec un appareil électronique/numérique. Bien que je ne me souvienne pas exactement des chiffres, il était un peu au-dessus du seuil 140, clairement dans la "région orange foncé".

Puis, environ 30 minutes plus tard, lorsque j'ai rencontré le médecin, il a utilisé un classique (appareil non électronique) - et voilá. Tout allait super bien avec ma tension artérielle bien en dessous des limites supérieures. Il m'a dit que les appareils électroniques-numériques édisent très facilement de fausses lectures - et que les anciens classiques, mécaniques, sont des appareils bien meilleurs et plus stables. (Je n'en avais aucune idée !) Il a également déclaré que la pression artérielle répond très rapidement et constamment tout au cours de la journée à tout changement dans son activité - il est donc plutôt normal d'obtenir des lectures "élevées".

Puis j'ai commencé à me demander sur le chemin du retour... sur les nombreuses autres infirmières et médecins, qui ont des opinions statiques et différentes - à quelle facilité ils vont simplement mettre les gens sur la "médecine", comme les statines maléfiques et les trucs de bs.:whistle :

En effet, Natus Videre, c'est un cirque sanglant.

Blood pressure measurements do vary from device to device. Sometimes blood pressure can even vary on a
same device in a few minutes. When your blood pressure is a little higher than normal (depending on your age and health), the doctor will talk to you about things to make the measurement less stressful and in the vast majority of cases, your blood pressure will return to a normal reading.

This is totally NUTS!

Rates of hypertension are not going through the roof because of this or that (might contribute a bit), but because the definitions are constantly being changed to create a bigger market for antihypertensives.

I remember in the olden days the upper (systolic) BP was defined as 100+age. Now they treat the BP of octogenarians who have a systolic BP over 130. The result is that they feel miserable all the time, suffer from dizzy spells when getting up, and then they end up falling and breaking a hip - the mortality of which is around 25% or higher.

When you are 80 or so, you need to have an ‘elevated’ pressure, because due to the inelasticity of the vessel walls the stroke impulse from the heart is not dampened like it is for the young and the systolic BP is ‘artificially’ elevated. And it is unlikely that at that stage a high systolic BP is going to shorten your life - but brining it down very well may.

But that’s the unfortunate state of medicine today - they treat numbers and not patients.

I remember in the olden days the upper (systolic) BP was defined as 100+age.

I actually had low blood pressure most of my adult life, so I never really paid any attention to blood pressure numbers. I supposedly have high blood pressure now - had it measured recently at the dentist office; I think 162 was the systolic pressure which is 10 less than my age. I also recently did the blood pressure machine at a grocery store (now available after Covid exile) and it came back normal. Said my weight was OK, too. I need that machine in my house!

Went looking for the 100+age info and found this:

Synopsis: Examines the past ideal blood pressure reading of 100 plus your age versus todays so called blood pressure targets. A former NASA astronaut and family doctor, says the 100+ age guideline for "normal" blood pressure was around for decades. The goal of maintaining a blood pressure at or near 140/80 (now 115/75) is based on drug company hype, not science. <SHOCKING!

Many doctors have long held the belief that an acceptable systolic reading of blood pressure is 100 plus your age.

Modern physicians say normal blood pressure takes no account of age.

A reading of 120mm/80mm is normal regardless, according to Mayo Clinic staff. But early 20th century blood pressure cuff users followed a "100-plus-age" rule of thumb to determine what was normal for age. Early 21st century doctors accepted increased "normal rates" as patients age, but within a much more limited range, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Despite accepting the 100 plus your age blood pressure reading in the past, today's medical textbooks are arguing over exact values and new blood pressure standards come out every few years placing the desirable blood pressure target values ever lower.

Is medicine fueling this war or might it just be the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry?

To lower blood pressure readings just 5 points on the blood pressure scale can mean billions of dollars. Among the top ten drugs prescribed in the U.S, blood pressure (hypertension) medications ensnare millions into the prescription drug trap.

A former NASA astronaut and family doctor, says the 100+ age guideline for "normal" blood pressure was around for decades. He also wonders if modern views on what is normal blood pressure arise from drug company involvement.

"In the 1970s, the target limit for initiating drug treatment was 160/95. This then became 140/90, then 120/90, and recently, 115/75, with a large number of organizations listed as in agreement," he says.

Blood pressures tend to rise naturally with age in both men and women so that a 130 systolic blood pressure of a 30-year old (roughly 100 plus the age) becomes 150 in a fifty year old and 160 in a 60 year old with male blood pressure readings exceeding female by around 10 mm Hg.

• The systolic pressure is the pressure peak with each beat of the heart (systole).
• The diastolic pressure is the basal pressure that is in the blood vessels during relaxation of the heart (diastole).

In a dramatic reversal in policy, on May 4, 2000, an expert committee announced that systolic pressure is the most accurate blood pressure measurement for older adults. The new guidelines hold true for all those with hypertension who are over age 40 - a group that makes up the majority of 50 million Americans with the disease.

Since blood pressure elevation is associated with increased all-cause death rates, lowering of blood pressures by whatever means can only be good for humanity - can't it?

Well, the pharmaceutical industry loves it - this focus makes them billions of dollars.

The medical community loves it - it's good for business and seems ethically correct, and the public likes it.

So began the worldwide focus on lowering blood pressure, the evolution of thousands of drugs designed to lower blood pressure, and of course, the beginning of a still growing multi-billion dollar business.

High blood pressure, as defined by the drug industry and medical doctors, is not an instant death sentence.

The goal of maintaining a blood pressure at or near 140/80 (now 115/75) is based on drug company hype, not science. These numbers are designed to sell drugs by converting healthy people into patients.

Prior to this ideal numbers for normal healthy blood pressure were based on the Framingham Heart Study (www.framinghamheartstudy.org), where "normal" hypertension was a reading of systolic 120 and diastolic 80 - and anything up to systolic 140 was considered acceptable or high/normal.

If high blood pressure were dangerous, then lowering it with hypertension drugs would surely result in an increase in lifespan? Yet, clinical trials involving hypertension medication show NO increased lifespan among users when compared to non-users...

Then why didn't Big Pharma also redefine the Maximum Heart Rate? The latter is still based on age!
When there is no money to be made, the definitions don't need to change!

Target Heart Rate and Estimated Maximum Heart Rate | Physical Activity | CDC

One way of monitoring physical activity intensity is to determine whether a person's pulse or heart rate is within the target zone during physical activity. Learn more...

www.cdc.gov

For moderate-intensity physical activity, your target heart rate should be between 64% and 76% of your maximum heart rate. You can estimate your maximum heart rate based on your age. To estimate your maximum age-related heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, for a 50-year-old person, the estimated maximum age-related heart rate would be calculated as 220 – 50 years = 170 beats per minute (bpm). The 64% and 76% levels would be:

• 64% level: 170 x 0.64 = 109 bpm, and
• 76% level: 170 x 0.76 = 129 bpm

This shows that moderate-intensity physical activity for a 50-year-old person will require that the heart rate remains between 109 and 129 bpm during physical activity.

That very good to know, my father RIP was hypertense, so is my mother, they took/taking the medicine the for that condition, combined with homepathy.

My mother gets very anxious if she forgets to take the medicine. Sometimes it seems to me that the simple fact of being aware of whether she took it or not is what makes her sick. On that kind of medical issue she relies more on my brother who favors allopathy. For other things like flu, influenza/Covid she prefers homeopathy.

#Open_letter_to_a_vaccinated_person 241022

Dear Akasha Community members:

On this occasion, I am sharing something that is not directly for you, members of this community. This message (recorded as a video) is an open letter to a person inoculated against COVID-19.

I am attaching the video with the intention that you can help me find a way to get it to as many inoculated people as possible. If you feel comfortable, perhaps you could send it as a link to friends or family of yours (Akasha Comunidad or Mirar a los ojos (23-10-2022)), to your networks. I mention that they do so 'as a link', to avoid being victims of the censorship so characteristic of these times.

The message and its intention came from deep inside me, and I don't know what the real impact will be. The result must be released. I can only trust that it will be heard by some.

I send you greetings and wish you a nice day,

Karina AW

Looks like Fauci is still struggling in denial...
Fauci: ‘It’s Really Unfortunate’ Senate Report I Haven’t ‘Carefully’ Read Concludes ‘Research-Related Incident’ Is Most Likely Origin of COVID

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN Tonight,” White House Chief Medical Adviser and NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that he hasn’t “carefully” read through the interim report by the minority oversight staff of the Senate Health Committee and “it’s really unfortunate” the report concluded that “a research-related incident” causing the pandemic is the most likely scenario.

this report does say that the COVID-19 pandemic was, ‘more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident.’ Have you seen the report? What is your reaction?”

Fauci responded, “Well, I haven’t read it carefully. I’ve skimmed through it. But I can tell you, Jake, that it’s really unfortunate because there are at least two very important, peer-reviewed, scientific publications most recently that completely diverge from the conclusions that came out in the report to which you’re referring. And these are studies that were done, published in high-ranked journals, Science journal, the medical journal, by a group of evolutionary virologists who just completely disagree with the conclusions that came out of the report that you just mentioned.”

So his two favourite studies didn't support his narrative, which is "really unfortunate"...

The conclusion of the 'Analysis of the Origins of the COVID-19 Pandemic Interim Report':

Conclusion ​

As noted by the WHO Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens, the COVID19 Lancet Commission, and the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence 90-Day Assessment on the COVID-19 Origins, more information is needed to arrive at a more precise, if not a definitive, understanding of the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and how the COVID-19 pandemic began.225 Governments, leaders, public health officials, and scientists involved in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and working to prevent future pandemics, must commit to greater transparency, engagement, and responsibility in their efforts.

Based on the analysis of the publicly available information, it appears reasonable to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident. New information, made publicly available and independently verifiable, could change this assessment. However, the hypothesis of a natural zoonotic origin no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt, or the presumption of accuracy. The following are critical outstanding questions that would need to be addressed to be able to more definitively conclude the origins of SARS-CoV-2:

• What is the intermediate host species for SARS-CoV-2? Where did it first infect humans?
• Where is SARS-CoV-2’s viral reservoir?
• How did SARS-CoV-2 acquire its unique genetic features, such as its furin cleavage site?

Advocates of a zoonotic origin theory must provide clear and convincing evidence that a natural zoonotic spillover is the source of the pandemic, as was demonstrated for the 2002-2004 SARS outbreak. In other words, there needs to be verifiable evidence that a natural zoonotic spillover actually occurred, not simply that such a spillover could have occurred

Many feared dead in South Korea Halloween crush

A number of people are feared to have died after crushes among huge Halloween crowds in a popular nightlife area of South Korea's capital.

Emergency officials said dozens were in cardiac arrest after revellers thronged Seoul's Itaewon district.

Videos from the scene show body bags on the streets, emergency workers performing CPR, and rescuers trying to pull people trapped beneath others.

South Korea's president Yoon Suk-yeol has called an emergency meeting.

It is unclear how many people have died, and how many are injured in the incident

In South Korea, local medical officials are likely to say only that someone is in "cardiac arrest" until there is an official announcement of death by a doctor.

Around 50 people were in cardiac arrest in the central neighbourhood, Yonhap news agency reported, citing fire officials.

Massive died suddenly, a sad reality.

Auflage012) Manual of Mental Field Techniques (Edition 2010) Mental field techniques in practice (2011) Editor of the journal for Neurobiology Here & Now (1999) About: About the vaccination and covid damage observed daily in his practice. About the development of the effectiveness of certain Therapeutic approaches at the beginning and now: Decrease in the Efficacy of certain therapeutic agents Is of the opinion, Covid already in August 2019 rampant, as he typical symptoms already at the time in Patients noted About the "shameful study" that tried to prove a Hydroxychloroquine's dangerousness, was recalled and yet continued to be used to justify the WHO recommendation against HCQ is being used.

Very interesting interview

with a German doctor Dietrich Klinghardt, in Seattle, USA. Wonderful to listen to, the kind of grounded, healthy common sense human being !

How it started in Seattle, at a suburb (?) which also pride itself to be the first 5G equipped town, with the first 5G equipped hospital - which also happened to have a death rate of 60% during the first wave of the Plandemic.

In 2019 it was already known that Remdesivir did not help what so ever, and was toxic to the kidneys, with a death rate of 20-25%. It was also known though Chinese studies, that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were highly effective (in combination with Zinc and heparin, and preferably an antibiotic). While the West took away lot of vital information, stripping off what would lead to healing, so it would fit the narrative (and create more deaths)

• The death data for Covid in 2019, was based on data models, at a time where no Covid deaths exist.

The WHO which built upon a fraudulent study revolving Hydroxychloroquine (in far too high doses which lead to death) - and from that time on disabled all finances to studies on Hydroxychloroquine. Curiously, the WHO never took this away. Even today the WHO still does not support financially any studies made on Hydroxychloroquine - despite that their original study was based on criminal fraudulent 'science'.

He learned early, already 20 years ago, that the west medical "science" can't be trusted: already back then there was an understanding that vaccines and autism had a strong causation. since decades we are confronted with lies within medicine. Today, nothing can be trusted in the Western Medicine. We have to rely on studies from third world where still good science is being conducted.

• fraudulent statistics between "Vaccinated" vs "unvaccinated". Many vaccine deaths have been added to the group of unvaccinated. These statistics are worldwide used, including by the german authorities (as well in Sweden, I remember from the statistics which have been challenged by the large group of doctors)

studied older remedies, successfully for covid is Pepcid AC [famotidine] (an old drug used for (gastrointestinal) ulcers, a H2 receptor antagonist medication) - working well for acute corona illnesses, costs 5$ for a month treatment. 2x 80 mg for a couple days. It clears up the lungsymtoms very quickly, while weakness takes a bit longer.

Is very close friend with Dr Judy Mikovitz since 2006. She is a great inspiration and brought people onto the right track

• Because of hiv (retrovirus) and prion insertions in the lab made corona virus - which means that treatments (e.g. Long Covid) must used differently (e.g. it must be understood that there are hiv and prion insertions, in order to treat the overall diseases correctly).

• The "vaccination" creates much deeper damages. Similar to covid, only much worse, due to the reactivation of retro viruses and compromised immune system give carte blanche to aggressive cancers.

• In his praxis in Seattle, masks and vaccinations where at all times forbidden. It was positively received by the patients.

• all symptoms that a patient had in the past, since birth, often get reactivated months after the injections. Therefore it is crucial that the treatment isn't only focussed onto the symptoms, but also what is known about the jabs (Graphene oxid etc, jellyfish-like contents, the retrovirus part, prion part). They made darklight microscopy on different charges of the injections and found the aforementioned things, but also charges without any of it.

• How genetics do play a roll in the Big Pharma Vaccine experiments - for example that the measles vaccination often created many more autistic children (and deaths) in black people.

• His Canadian doctor colleagues got letters from the Doctor authority in Canada, that if they prescribe Hydroxychloroquine to patients for Covid-19, they would immediately loose their license. Plus that the drugstores in Canada got the recommendation to spy on the local doctors, and report them to the Canadian authorities. Dr Klinghardt had to order Hydroxychloroquine secretly via India.

Already two years before the Plandemic, the authorities forbade the fantastic substance, called Artesunate, which is the injectable version of Wormwood. Artemisinin together in combination with Ivermectin together got the Nobel Prize. For a home doctor, Artesunate would get people rid of Covid symptoms within 2 hours !! Artesunate is a fantastic anti cancer substance, also used against Malaria.

• Viviane Fischer: A company which extracted plant based Artesunate / Artemisinin in Germany, got raided by the Police in Germany!

• He reports that as of lately many more people are coming in with liver problems (consequence due to the genetic injections), problems with short term memory. (not unlike Corona), He treats it with polyphenols and other holistic substances, where the memory returns back to normal after around 4 months. But with the vaccinated things don't seem to work as well... Here he states that the memory issues come slowly, gradually getting worse and worse, making it far more difficult to treat in comparison with memory issues caused by Corona.

It appears that the genetic injection's structure in activity has been designed in such a way, by creating a silent, invisible gradual destruction of the human body.

• Impotens in men, and hair loss in women are very common occurrences among vaccinated - but rarely spoken about. Also eye degradation are widespread.

Ozon therapy is highly underrated and helps for both Corona patients as well vaccinated / damaged people.

Germany is world leading in CDS / Chlordioxid treatments (among alternative medical people) earned fantastic successes in ill patients !. In Bolivia, any doctor is allowed to use CDS / Chlordioxid, as it is supported by the Government.


++ I have to disrupt my report here, because I have to prepare to go to work ++

I'm a bit confused about the last sentence (the CDS being fantastic). CDS is diluted MMS, chlorine dioxyde.
There is an article on SOTT by Gaby warning us about it, and discussion here on the forum against it.
So, I searched other resources and I came to Dr Mark Sircus who is a reliable doctor (he's been quoted several times on this forum for various interesting remedies, or on SOTT. He says it's an excellent cure:

Forbidden Cures and Protocol Medicine

In reality, doctors are not allowed to practice medicine anymore, not allowed to think, not allowed to care for their patients in the best way possible. For example, a February resolution entered in California’s state legislature gives the state’s medical board broad powers to investigate and...

drsircus.com

I can understand MMS is to be avoided. But CDS is diluted. Usually, if one takes a pharmaceutical product at high concentration it is harmful. But if one takes it in diluted concentration it's okay.

So, is CDS (not MMS) good or not?

From what I understand is that in Germany CLO2 (CDS) it is readily available (like Amazon etc) and used by many as solution-concentrate (0.3%) without any impurities. It then needs to be diluted further with a lot of water, when taken orally or externally. (like 1 to 2 ml into 1 liter of water)

MMS is the old, original formulae from a famous quack in the US, made with wrong ingredients in which citric acid was used as an activator (which shouldn't be used at all)

At the Cassiopaean Forum, the consensus is that MMS generally considered to be harmful, and i assume that goes for CLO2/CDS, as well.

Personally; I do take (CLO2 / CDS) in periods, and have never had any issues, but also make sure that in between the longer periods I do not use it, i give the body enough with vitamins such as Vitamin C etc - because CLO2 is an oxidant (like H2O2 is too) - not meant to be taken all the time without any breaks in between.

Many feared dead in South Korea Halloween crush

This morning, the death toll had risen to 151 and 82 others were injured (including 19 foreigners of various nationalities):

https://twitter.com/x/status/1586542461174054912

As of 9 a.m. Sunday, 151 people, including 19 foreigners, have been killed and 82 others injured in a deadly Halloween stampede in Seoul's Itaewon district. We offer our deepest condolences to everyone who lost loved ones in last night’s tragedy.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1586625149725716480

Park Jung-hoon, 21, told Reuters the situation had been "completely out of control".

Itaewon crowd crush: 'I could not catch their pulse or breath'​

[...] A medic at the scene, Dr Lee Beom-suk, told local broadcaster YTN he had tried to revive a few victims with CPR, but "the number exploded soon after, outnumbering first responders at the scene". "Many bystanders came to help us with CPR."

He said "so many victims' faces were pale". "I could not catch their pulse or breath and many of them had a bloody nose."

Park Jung-hoon, 21, told Reuters the situation had been "completely out of control".

And Moon Ju-young, also 21, said "there were way too many people and it was too crowded".

"I know the policemen and rescue workers are working hard, but I would say there was a lack of preparation."

An Itaewon resident, 53-year-old Lee Su-mi, told Reuters that "those young people who were called 'Covid generation' could finally celebrate Halloween as their first festival.

"Then no one was able to foresee the festival turned into a disaster."

https://twitter.com/x/status/1586445565461553153

How could they dance infront of ambulances & dead bodies it's your own people. Don't tell me they think squid game happening infront of them this is disgusting. People screaming to save them they can't breath and this is how Y'all responded??

They were probably in no condition to understand what was going on...

https://twitter.com/x/status/1586560987741790210

Honestly, I feel really bad for these people, they were young and just wanted have fun. They went to their last party never came back... Big condolences to the families and friends, this is traumatizing.

And less than one hour ago from CNN:

Death toll rises: The death toll from the disaster in Seoul’s Itaewon nightclub district has meanwhile risen by two to 153, according to the country’s Ministry of Interior and Safety.

Among the 153 dead were 20 foreign nationals, according to the ministry.
