[image: Image: Leaked memos prove Google is a massive criminal enterprise engaged in felony election meddling and racketeering] Somewhere out there, even a long time ago, a vast money pool decided to buy out control of all forms of media content. We have watched them succeed almost unnoticed. It has only been with their losing conflict with the Trump Administration that this has become apparent. Think NAZI central banking, Zionist fascism and their partnership with the CIA. Now none of this may even exist. What does exist is our need to consider it all as possible to thwart it ... more »

Fasting triggers stem cell regeneration of damaged, old immune system

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
[image: Researcher Valter Longo at work] The real take home that we need to understand is that our bodies are jam packed with dormant stem cells. We actually do not need stem cell augmentation is we merely stimulate those in place. Fasting happens to assist us there by allowing the body to eliminate older weakened immune cells in particular. Thus rigorous fasting is far more beneficial than we had expected. The right time span seems to be 72 hours although the application of intermittent fasting on a daily basis will support all this to maintain thereafter. That runs 18 hours ... more »

I escaped it all over twenty years ago. I used tea and an aspirin for a couple of days to see it off. That will surely work for most of us. A single coffee or equivalent will hardly bother you, particularly if you miss a day often enough. For me it is an occasional cappuccino often weeks apart. Somewhat like my monthly pint of Guinness. Even on tea i have dropped of to a badly watered down tea bag and i start my morning with a large cup of warmish water. All advised.

Rewire your brain for success, according to neuroscience

Training your brain is a work in progress for all of us and what leaps out at me is just how easily we sidestep taking it all seriously no matter the apparent rewards. Understand this is all rewarding, but not rewarding in the way we have experienced rewards in the past. We experience rewards through social acceptance. There is little of this here. Start a diary for your visualization practice. Include your meditation practice as well. Then do it daily. Record your results including none. Talk to yourself as well and record. Stop.

Statistics Show The MMR Vaccine Kills More People Than The Measles Does

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
Not quite the whole story but MMR remains highly controversial. Please recall that getting measles was inevitable when I was a child simply because we all went to school. Throw in chicken pox and scarlet fever as well, but then that was it and it provided lifetime immunity. Seen in terms of those types of numbers, 90,000 is a small number. We still need a superior vaccination protocol. Telling us that the MMR vaccine is not perfect is otherwise irrelevant. Controlled infection does stifle the diseases, but it does not normally eliminate them. We also need an immune syste... more »

This works out the real subtleties of inheritance as an economic enterprise. It is also a reminder that only a handful make the leap into the ranks of the so called elite every generation. Education serves to create three tiers of citizens and nothing else.
