Critical Thinking with Your Health

Liz James · November 16, 2020 ·

Good morning friends! Just a reminder in healthcare lingo:
šŸ‘‰šŸ‘‰Effectiveness does not equal safety…..those two words are not interchangeable, NOR can you assume that using one of those words implies the “okay-ness” of the other.
Here is an exaggerated example, but you’ll get my drift…..
You have a toenail fungus, so the doctor decides to amputate. Well, that would be effective, wouldn’t it? But is that safe šŸ˜‰?
Conversely, what if the doctor instead decided to paint your toenails daily with a solution of normal saline as a means to treat your toe nail fungus? Well, that would be safe, but it certainly wouldn’t be effective!
When you say yes to something that causesĀ  irreversible or unremovable change to your body (big or seemingly small)Ā  make sure that what you are agreeing to is BOTH safe AND effective. Otherwise you are playing Russian roulette with your body.

Power to Heal – part 2

Liz James · September 17, 2020 ·

Part II: But first…. A history lesson!Ā 
How can it be, that we… citizens of the USA šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øā€¦., with practically unlimited access to western medicine, are currently among the sickest in the world? 😷😭  Study after study supports the same conclusion…
šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°We spend more on healthcare for worse health outcomes than comparable countries around the world, regardless of age or income.šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°
Part of the problem is the belief in the ā€œinstaā€ system, and how it applies to the healthcare industry.. Americans expect to go to a doctor and receive a prescription for ā€œsomethingā€, and they are dissatisfied if the doctor sends them away without one. (not all problems are solved by pills!)
It is no longer surprising to me when a patient can neither tell me the name of their medication or even what it’s for when I talk to them at the pharmacy. They just need a refill of their ā€œlittle yellow pillā€. #blindtrust 😳
When we have 20% of US citizens on 5 or more prescription medications a day (often written by more than one physician), the odds of drug interactions goes up considerably. The odds of side effects and deficiencies rises exponentially as well. #playingwithfire
Prescription drug errors kill more than 100,000 Americans a year, and medical error is the 3rd most leading cause of death in the United States (3rd only to heart disease and cancer… two largely ā€œpreventable by lifestyleā€ diseases). An estimated 1.5 million people die each year from these top 3 causes.Ā 
Now that’s a pandemic worthy of being called a pandemic!
#whereisthemedia
We forget that regardless of our heritage, our forefathers (and fore-mama’s) used tools from nature. 🌿 The most dangerous part of living was to make it from infancy to puberty. The dangers of infancy and childhood stemmed more from malnutrition and poor sanitation than anything else with the exception of actual childbirth (a high risk situation for both mother and child).
Our ancestors were not of the ā€œinstaā€ world, and they were loaded with practical knowledge, intelligence, and common sense. #theoriginalsurvivorsĀ  They understood that wounds and injuries (visible or not) took time to heal. They also passed down healing ā€œrecipesā€ from generation to generation. Scientific studies (thousands of them) now provide evidence of the mechanism of action of these herbal remedies. 🌿 Many cultures also understood that emotions were, more often than not, tied to specific illnesses. (ex: Grief is often a harbinger of lung dis-ease if not dealt with properly)….. not because of superstition but because of biology and physics.Ā 
So what happened? How did we manage to lose all of this very important information?Ā  We know we live in a ā€œneed it nowā€ world where ā€œfast medicineā€ is king. Where did ā€œslowā€ medicine go, and how and why did it nearly disappear?
Have you ever heard of a guy named John D Rockefeller? He was an oil tycoon in the early 1900’s who, at one time, controlled 90% of our country’s oil.
Rockefeller was arguably the wealthiest man in the world in his time. šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°šŸ’°Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie (another tycoon of the era) had money, and they wanted more. These two men were well aware of the many healing modalities in existence in the very early 1900’s. Chiropractic care, naturopathy, homeopathy, holistic care (the most common of all) nurtured mind, body (using common to the area plants), and spirit (The USA was a strong Christian nation back then, and faith was infused into all aspects of life šŸ™).
Abraham Flexner (who was neither a physician or a medical scientist) was hired by Carnegie and Rockefeller. He was a former school teacher with specialized training in psychology.
Flexner produced a report (known as Carnegie Foundation Bulletin Number Four or “The Flexner Report”) that was submitted to Congress in 1910. The report concluded that (among other things) all the natural healing modalities (which have been around since before Jesus!) were unscientific quackery and should be outlawed.Ā  It also called for the standardization of medical education, allowing only allopathic (patented medicine and medicine practiced in a modern ā€œwesternizedā€ fashion) based medical licenses to be issued. It was a tremendous blow to naturally based medicine that is still felt to this day in the USA. 😭
Why would this be an important piece of history? Well, Rockefeller wanted more control of the medical world, and he wanted to sell the ā€œnew fangledā€ patented pharmaceutical drugs šŸ’Š(which coincidentally had a petroleum base). The problem was that nearly everyone was comfortable using their versions of ā€œslowā€ medicine all over the country. Plant based therapeutics are not patent-able, and Rockefeller knew that in order to control the pharmaceutical industry, he would need to put the kibosh on natural remedies.Ā  The Flexner Report achieved this purpose, and nearly overnight, people had no choice but to move from ā€œslowā€ medicine to ā€œfastā€ medicine, and doctors had no choice but to abide by the new rules or risk being jailed or losing their license. Sadly, this is still the case today. #controlfoodandhealthandyoucontrolthepeople
Most history books paint this eventĀ  in a different light. I remember reading about it in pharmacy school 30 years ago, and (in the naivety of my tender college years) thought it was quite an achievement to have so quickly modernized medicine. I just didn’t realize back then that most commonly published history is slanted towards the victors, and therefore doesn’t always reflect the entire truth.
This history is important as a segue to learning how to heal properly.
Stay tuned for Part III….. Mind over Medicine šŸ’Š.

Uncover the Facts

Liz James · August 19, 2020 ·

Do you believe in the importance of free speech and unique thoughts and concepts? I do. It’s our varied brains God gave us that created all the “extras” in our world. Without them, we wouldn’t be enjoying electricity, airplanes, advanced medical procedures, books, art, and the like. #GodblessAmerica
I find it disturbing that critical thinking is now so discouraged that those with valid, science based facts are censored 😶  on mainstream social media. Mainstream media and ā€œrespectedā€ 3 letter government agencies are also complicit in either censoring, publishing unreliable data or outright twisting the truth. #whyaretheysuppressingthetruth
I’d like to share with you how I have come to vet those whom I hear, that which I read, and guard what (and whom) I watch, because it certainly has become more difficult.
I look at the context and the intention of what I read or view, and then I compare the contents to these two simple Biblical truths:
1. Is the purveyor relaying inconsistent or incongruous information? Does the information itself condone orĀ  promote chaos, hatred and/or fear? If so, Satan has a foothold somewhere within it.
2. Does the purveyor of the information utilize logic and promote peace, kindness or love , and faith? If so….then I don’t stop…. I dig a little deeper and look for both scientific and Biblical discourse that align (or disprove) the evidence that has been presented. If I cannot find additional solid logical scientific AND Biblical evidence that give further credence to what I’ve just ā€œconsumedā€ with my eyes or ears, I table the information for further evaluation.
3.Ā  And recently, I’ve come to add a 3rd vetting: Is the information highly censored by major social media platforms despite the First Amendment? If so….. THAT’S a red herring for truth more often than not.Ā 
🐟Eat the fish and spit out the bones. 🐟
Which brings me to this very important study I came across a few days ago that has since been censored by Facebook.Ā 
(I’d be happy to send you the link. PM me)
The details of the study are these:
*There most assuredly IS early treatment available for the ā€˜virus’.. Thousands of doctors who are honoring their oath to protect and serve the patients in their care know this, and they are being prosecuted, chastised, and threatened for prescribing ‘the treatment’.Ā 
Why are we not rejoicing that there IS help without waiting inĀ  blind trust of an untested v@ ccine?Ā  Why is the truth being censored? Why do those of us who care enough to speak out have to mince our words as I am doing here?Ā Ā 
*Early treatment is necessary, yet the majority of doctors who operate under fear for their licenses/livelihood decline to even suggest it to a patient, instead telling them to wait it out at home unless breathing becomes difficult. #thatsnogoodstewardshipofknowledge
*I talk to people everywhere I go.Ā  I’ve talked to people who had “it”…. And never knew there was a treatment…. Some of whom have suffered greatly because of that omission.
Ā I’ve talked to others who did ā€œthe treatmentā€ and had a super quick recovery.
Ā I’ve talked to still others who tested positive and never had a single symptom. (not that I trust the testing even one iota!)Ā Ā 
*The “treatment” in question has been on the safest medication list (CDC generated info) for decades……and used as a common preventative and treatment for a certain killer mosquito borne disease. #malariaisatopkillerinourworldandworsethantherona
If you look it up on the CDC website, you’ll find that the CDC states…. ā€œ…. can be prescribed to adults AND CHILDREN of all ages. It can also be safely taken by PREGNANT and NURSING MOTHERS.ā€
šŸ‘†This statement is rare among pharmacologicals.šŸ‘† Real rare…… but this pharmacological is the synthetic alternative to quinine…. A naturally occurring compound found in the bark of the cinchona tree. Quinine has been used for at least 500 years (if not longer) as a viable naturally sourced medication used for respiratory infections and many other conditions. The synthetic “treatment” is cheap, effective, safe, and over the counter in many countries.
Applying logic……. why then, would the CDC claim that this medication is too dangerous for a “virus” patient? #thingsthatmakeyougohmmmmmĀ 
A few factoids about this trial that caught my attention:
šŸ’ŠIt is a large trial: 1.8 Billion people in the treatment group, and 663 million in the control group.
šŸ’ŠCountries involved in the trial account for 31.2% of our world’s population.Ā 
šŸ’ŠPeople with comorbidities were included in the trial: diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc.Ā 
šŸ’ŠOther possible factors affecting the outcome were also examined: population density, urbanization, testing level, intervention level, life expectancy etc.
The study shows, on MASSIVE scale, that the treatment group has a 77.4% lower chance of death than the control group.
Now, I don’t know about you……. But if a 20$ prescription cuts the odds of dying by more than 2/3rds (and of minimizing symptoms)…. Isn’t that worth taking note? And isn’t this worth fighting for, if you have someone who has tested positive and has symptoms? It certainly beats the odds of surviving a hospital stay compliments of the invisible enemy.
Again….. Logic. Peace. Love. Faith.Ā 
ā¤ļøI tend towards trusting doctors who are willing to go up against the establishment to do the right thing. That’s LOVE in action. #theyaredoinghardthingsfortherightreason
ā¤ļøI tend towards resting in the PEACE of knowing there is treatment available if you go to a doctor who is willing to do the right thing. #itsafixablehealthconcern
ā¤ļøI tend to have FAITH in the immune system that God gave each one of us. I have nurtured my immune system over the years, and I have faith that it will continue to serve me well… and if it should fail, I know a good doctor who will give me what I need šŸ˜‰. (Please PM me if you want this same kind of faith in both God and your immune system). #lovepeaceandfaithinaction
ā¤ļøI tend towards believing that which is LOGICAL, not that which is inconsistent, inaccurate, and chaos driven. #logicoverlunaccy
Please friends, I know you have friends and family all over the world. If you hear of someone you know and care about who has tested positive and who has symptoms….. Please ask them if their doctor has provided them with a prescription for “the treatment”. It’s safe and it’s effective, and it should be illegal to withhold this information from someone who needs it.Ā

Fellow Truth-Seeker

Liz James · May 26, 2020 ·

Lindsey Bernat Gremont is a friend and fellow researcher of mine. Her information is as solid as it comes. She kindly compiled information that the MSM is leaving out of their news.

We’ve got to start asking the hard questions as a country and as a unified world. What is the virus (and the masks) really about? šŸŽÆ

I have sat down to write this post about 10 times in the last 24 hours. I am having a hard time formulating the words for this. I know I can’t please everyone and things are so incredibly partisan right now but this message has to get out and so I’ll just get to the point and ask you something I’ve been asking myself for 3 months now:

Why is the cure for this thing being ridiculed? Why do people want it to be a failure? Why is the reporting via the media so biased and negative against it when the so many other counties are using it as a lifesaving preventative treatment? Why isn’t this news being shared here? Why doesn’t the FDA act now? Why would we take a news ā€œjournalistsā€ word over the actual data that shows the opposite? Why is information about what makes this treatment work best not being studied by the NIH? Why are the studies being designed to fail from the beginning because they aren’t following the protocols doctors and ministries of health are using successfully worldwide? 

If you haven’t seen the news about how this is being used in other countries here are some for you to start your research:

France: “If clinical data confirm the biological results, the novel coronavirus-associated disease will have become one of the simplest and cheapest to treat and prevent among infectious respiratory diseases,” a group of French researchers wrote in a paper published on February 15 in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents.

journal article

Remarkable comparison of France to Marseille where people are being treated with HCQ+AZ. 0.5% fatality rate compared to 21.6% nationwide – (this is in French but you can use google translate to read it and it’s easy to get the conclusions)

french treatment

India: India advised all front line health care workers to take Hydroxychloroquine prophylactically. This was in March.

india article

India production and exports of the drug have spiked as many countries are using it successfully and are placing massive orders to use as a preventative drug for this:

india production and expoerts article

India is using this on the frontline and as a PREVENTATIVE measure even giving it to exposed family members before they exhibit symptoms or test positive. Early use is the key… https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/maharashtra-expands-use-of-hydroxychloroquine-as-preventive-measure-6376275/

Update on 5/20: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/covid-treatment-hcq-shows-some-promise-finds-telangana-government-report-11589957584026.html

update report

Morocco: Early use of hydroxychloroquine Morocco is still facing a growing number of COVID cases, but barely any growth in the number of fatalities.
India has just accepted their order for a 6 million pills refill. Again article is in French: (I have a graphic I’ll post in the comments showing their deaths and recoveries vs cases)Ā 

french data

Russia: Russia is using hydroxychloroquine, it also reports significantly fewer deaths from Covid-19 compared to other countries similarly hit by the pandemic. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/04/17/russia-approves-unproven-malaria-drug-to-treat-coronavirus-a70025

russia use report

So, the New York Times claimed Russia was under reporting deaths. Russia is now demanding a retraction.

russia’s reporting

Senegal: The Covid-19 fatality rate remains at 1% in Senegal as the country continues to broadly use hydroxychloroquine “despite warnings from the World Health Organization.”

senegal: covid rate

Turkey: Turkey, a country that has fully embraced hydroxychloroquine for covid-19, reported its lowest daily death toll since March. Its case fatality rate currently stands at less than half of the United States’.

turkey covid-19 reports

Madagascar: The President of Madagascar has been criticized for promoting an anti-malaria medicine, the herb Artemisia annua, to treat covid-19. They are using it as a prophylaxes as well. 

Madagascar has zero covid-19 deaths reported to date.

South Korea: Korea posted their treatment guidelines utilizing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid-19

Update: study results from South Korea:

updates of South Korea study results

China: China’s Head of Biotech said that chloroquine was selected out of tens of thousands of drugs as the most effective treatment on Feb 17th.

china’s head of biotech reports chloroquine effective treatment

Bahrain: Bahrain began using hydroxychloroquine two days after the first case of Covid-19 was discovered there in February. They did this based on “notable success in China and South Korea.” Now they have one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world.

bahrain uses hydroxychloroqune successfully

the new american – dr zelenko – pivotal moment


This article also shows how he has worked with Presidents and health ministers in Honduras, Brazil and Israel on their protocols. ā€œIf you look at the country of Israel, which I helped set their policy, they have had, it’s a nation of 9 million people — its essentially the same size of New York City in population — and they had 280 deaths. Compare that to New York, which is also around 9 million people, and the deaths are up to 15,000.ā€
In fact, as of May 18, Israel has seen 272 deaths from more than 16,000 cases, with more than 13,000 recovered, according to Worldometers.info. This despite the fact that experts predicted far, far worse. According to Haaretz, the model that was ā€œone of the key documents that has influenced policymakersā€ in the country predicted up to between 8,600 and 21,000 deaths in Israel.

Brazil: Largest Brazilian healthcare operator sees success of hydroxychloroquine treatment in initial phase of COVID19.

I want to note that strangely there are only 2.5 studies completed around Remdesevir and the outcomes are not nearly the same and you can’t even get this except if you go into a hospital as it is administered via IV. For more details on the studies and who is behind them and how they were designed and what their flaws are … it has been removed from YouTube.

So this is all the stuff I have uncovered. It’s not partisan it’s just the de facto standard it seems…sooooo FDA why aren’t you being straight with us? Conflicts of interest? It’s not patentable, it’s cheap and it’s safe. šŸ¤”

UPDATE! The FDA has softened their stance on HCQ :
