Mercola says COVID virus is real

by Jim West (please share and cite)

This is literary criticism, about virology.

Virology's trap is complexity. Let's avoid it. Comments are welcome.

________________________________

Dr. Mercola's declares,

Overview of my critique

Five irrelevant studies

Mercola presents five studies to support his declaration of Covid-19 virus existence.

The five studies are irrelevant because they are dependent studies. They use a genetic definition provided by an initial discovery study in order to detect the "virus",..

Only a discovery study claims proof of "virus" existence and sends samples and data to a central catalogue, (ATCC).

Dependent studies begin by declaring faith in the discovery study.

Dependent studies use the definition at ATCC to: Find the "virus", to seek additional "virus" properties such as structural variants, to seek epidemiological data, and to develop lab products and procedures.

For a valid argument, Mercola et al would have to present a valid discovery study. But amazingly, he only presents five dependent studies.

Mercola presents a video by his contributor, Jeremy Hammond.

Mercola begins with assertions.

While some still claim SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t actually exist, this seems to fly in the face of several well-established facts. The virus has actually been photomicrographed,1,2 whole-genome sequences of the various strains are available,3,4 and with the appropriate credentials anyone can obtain the live virus to conduct research.

While I am absolutely no fan of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they do grow the virus in cell culture to ensure widespread availability for researchers who want to study it.5 Examples of research where you need the actual virus include antiviral research, vaccine development, virus stability research and pathogenesis research.6

Mercola describes the "root" problem as “confusion” over the meaning of the two key words, “isolated” and “purified”.

He asks,

What’s the Confusion?

At least part of the confusion appears to be rooted in how the term “isolated” is defined.

Some insist a virus is not isolated unless it’s also purified, while others say a virus doesn’t have to be purified in order to be “isolated.”

Mercola does not tell his readers that the words "isolated" and "purified" have bizarre meanings in virology.. He doesn't offer any definitions. Yet, his article uses "isolated" 35 times, and "purified" 1 time

Confusion is guaranteed.

Mercola brings in Steve Kirsch.

Generally, Steve Kirsch's view of the scientific method borders is absurd, to say it nicely. I have debated him and he ran. See details.

In Mercola's article, he claims to have asked several experts about this, noting that all, including Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Li-Meng Yan, say that the virus has indeed been isolated. “So, it has been ‘isolated’ according to their belief in what the term means,” Kirsch writes, adding:7

“Others interpret the term differently and would claim the virus hasn’t been isolated. In fact, according to their definition, no virus in history has ever been isolated. That’s important to know. They use that as justification for their belief that there is no virus here since viruses don’t exist at all."

Kirsch is a circular thinker -- the "opinions of people" he "trusts," starting with "his readers".

"I rely on expert opinions of people who I trust for certain issues like whether or not the virus has been “isolated”.

When Kirsch asked his readers for input, one pointed out:8

“The real question is... has it been isolated from a HUMAN subject w/o passing it through (say) Monkey Kidney Cells? Because there is plenty of evidence out there that says it hasn't been isolated directly (no intermediaries) from a HUMAN subject.”

Irrelevant study #1

Kirsch introduces this study with more circular thinking: "Hazan verified that the... virus... from the ATCC [catalogue]... matched what she found in people who have the virus."

According to Kirsch, the scientists he spoke with did not agree that this was a concern, and “Sabine Hazan verified that the sequence of the virus obtained from ATCC (the American Type Culture Collection, a global resource center for reference microorganisms) matched exactly what she found in people who have the virus.”9

As noted in Hazan’s paper, “Detection of SARS-CoV-2 From Patient Fecal Samples by Whole Genome Sequencing”:10

Hazan found positive "samples" by matching her found "virus" with the ATTC "virus". She did not prove existence of the virus. She is promoting a lab technique called NGS (Next Generation Sequencing). She proved that she can successfully use NGS with a reference sample from ATCC.

“Study participants underwent testing for SARS-CoV-2 from fecal samples by whole genome enrichment NGS [next-generation sequencing] (n = 14), and RT-PCR nasopharyngeal swab analysis (n = 12).

The concordance of SARS-CoV-2 detection by enrichment NGS from stools with RT-PCR nasopharyngeal analysis was 100%. Unique variants were identified in four patients, with a total of 33 different mutations among those in which SARS-CoV-2 was detected by whole genome enrichment NGS.”

With nothing in hand, Mercola offers compromise.

Germ Theory and Terrain Theory Both Have Merit

As noted by independent journalist and political analyst Jeremy Hammond in a March 2021 interview,11 the claim that SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated and actually doesn’t exist at all is perhaps one of the most counterproductive arguments of the health freedom movement.

Mercola cannot explain how the no-virus argument is “counterproductive”.

He resorts to conflating apples and oranges ("no virus" and "5G radiation alone").

By insisting that there is no virus, and that COVID-19 is caused by things like 5G radiation alone, allows [sic] the mainstream media to dismiss entirely legitimate concerns…

Like Hammond, I believe the pathogenesis of COVID-19 involves both germ theory and terrain theory, not just one or the other. “SARS-CoV-2 infection is an insufficient but necessary factor in the pathogenesis of COVID-19,” Hammond says, adding that “the virus is constantly being isolated and whole genome sequenced by scientists all over the world.”12

That said, environmental factors can clearly play a role in that they can make you more or less predisposed to severe infection when you encounter this virus. This includes EMFs, toxins like glyphosate, previous vaccine injuries and much more.

Mercola paints himself as a generous compromiser. This allows omnipresent "virus" hype to continue dominating environmental concerns.

Hammond argues that the “COVID-19 pandemic should be a wake-up call to the human population, and especially the populations of developed countries, about the need to focus on natural means of maintaining good health and living in greater harmony with our natural environment.”

Indeed. And, as Hammond points out, pathogenic challenge is absolutely necessary for general good health and strong immunity. When we shield ourselves too much from everyday pathogens, we make ourselves vulnerable to chronic diseases instead.

Irrelevant study #2

SARS-CoV-2 Genome Sequencing From Italy

As for whether SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated and exists as a viral entity, the answer appears to be yes. For example, an Italian paper13 published in the Journal of Virology, dated May 18, 2020, detailed the isolation and full-length genome of the virus taken from COVID-19 patients in Italy:

This is a dependent study, as indicated by its examination of swab mucus already found "positive for SARS-CoV-2" via a test designed from the discovery study's "virus" at ATCC.

The study detects RNA fragments. It is not trying to prove these fragments to be a virus. It assumes so -- and uses a test that matches the RNA fragments with the "virus" at ATCC.

Mercola quotes the irrelevant tech:

“At the beginning of March 2020, the first nasopharyngeal swabs positive for SARS-CoV-2 started to be detected in the Northern Eastern Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia... Swab contents were seeded on Vero E6 cells and monitored for cytopathic effect and by an RT-PCR protocol using primers for the N region.

Cell culture supernatants from passage 1 (P1) of four isolates were collected, and RNA was extracted with QIAamp viral RNA minikit (Qiagen) and quantified with an in vitro-transcribed RNA standard ... The quantity and quality of the RNA were assessed ... For each sample, 100 ng of total RNA was processed using Zymo-Seq RiboFree ribosomal depletion library preparation kit (Zymo Research).

All the obtained libraries passed quality check and were quantified before being pooled at equimolar concentration and sequenced ... Sequenced reads that passed the quality check (Phred score ≥30) were adaptor and quality trimmed, and the remaining reads were assembled de novo using Megahit (v.1.2.9) with default parameter settings.

Megahit generated in all cases 7 contigs with more than 1,000 bp and 100× coverage; all of these assembled contigs were compared (using BLASTn) against the entire nonredundant (nr) nucleotide and protein databases.

In all cases the longest and more covered contigs were identified as MT019532.1,14 ‘Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolate BetaCoV/Wuhan/IPBCAMS-WH-04/2019, complete genome,’ with 99% identity and 0 gaps.

The longer sequences were named hCoV-19/Italy/FVG/ICGEB_S1, _S5, _S8, and _S9 and were deposited in GISAID... Sequence analysis showed an uneven coverage along the SARS-CoV-2 genome, with an average range from 126 to 7,576 reads and a mean coverage per sample of 1,169×... Phylogenetic trees were inferred using the maximum likelihood method...

The first sequences deposited in GISAID (EPI_ISL_410545 and EPI_ISL_410546) were collected in Rome from a Chinese tourist from Hubei province who got infected before visiting Italy, and another one (EPI_ISL_412974) was from a test-positive Italian citizen returning from China.

Only two sequences were reported from the Lombardy cluster (EPI_ISL_412973 and EPI_ISL_413489). In this report four additional sequences from cases epidemiologically linked to northern Italy have been examined ... Sequence analysis showed a good coverage along the SARS-CoV-2 genome for all four isolates.

Based on the marker variant S D614G, all four sequences grouped in the Bavarian rooted subclade G, which is dominant in Europe, including the sequence from Lombardy, but distinct from the three sequences mentioned above originating directly from China.

Intriguingly, the new isolates were more closely related to EPI_ISL_412973, while EPI_ISL_413489 was more distant. No evidence could be found for the putative 382-nucleotide (nt) deletion in ORF8 detected in Singapore, which has been proposed to indicate an attenuated phenotype.

Irrelevant study #3

SARS-CoV-2 Genome Sequencing From Germany

Similarly, the complete genome sequence of the virus taken from a German woman has been published, this one in the journal Microbiology Resource Announcements, in June 2020.

This is a dependent study, as indicated by, "swab sample... tested positive" and "already logged in the gene bank" [ATCC].

Here, an oropharyngeal swab sample from a female patient who tested positive but had no symptoms at the time of the test was used to isolate the strain.15 Table 1 in the paper compares the nucleotide variants found in the sampled virus and those of a reference strain already logged in the gene bank.

Irrelevant study #4

Another paper16 in Annals of Internal Medicine, published in August 2020, isolated the virus from ocular (eye) secretions of an Italian COVID patient:17

This is a dependent study, as indicated by, "Infection with SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed" [with a PCR test matching the discovery study's "virus" genetic code at ATTC]..

The discovery study's "virus" at ATTC is never challenged during an epidemic (if ever challenged). Example: A gross lab error, enshrined for over seven decades, but never challenged.

“The patient, a 65-year-old woman, travelled from Wuhan, China, to Italy on 23 January 2020 and was admitted on 29 January 2020, 1 day after symptom onset. At admission to the high isolation unit ... she presented with nonproductive cough, sore throat, coryza, and bilateral conjunctivitis. She had no fever until day 4, when fever (38 °C), nausea, and vomiting began.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed by performing real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay on sputum samples (cycle threshold value [Ct], 16.1) on the admission day, followed by viral M gene sequencing (GenBank accession number MT008022), and virus isolation on Vero E6 cell line (2019-nCoV/Italy-INMI1).

The full genome sequence was obtained from either clinical sample or culture isolate (GISAID accession numbers EPI_ISL_410545 and EPI_ISL_410546).”

Irrelevant study #5

Genome Sequencing From India and Colombia

SARS-CoV-2 has also been isolated from the urine of a COVID-19 patient.18 A November 2020 paper19 sought to determine “whether various clinical specimens obtained from COVID-19 patients contain the infectious virus,” and found SARS-CoV-2 RNA “in all naso/oropharyngeal swabs and saliva, urine and stool samples collected between Days 8 and 30 of the clinical course.”

This is a dependent study, as indicated by the use of a "specimen from a COVID-19 positive patient" [declared "positive'" via an earlier test based on the ATCC definition].

Viable SARS-CoV-2 was also found in the nasal washes of ferrets that had been inoculated with urine or stool from a COVID-19 patient. The virus has also been isolated by researchers in the U.S.,20 China,21 India,22 Canada,23 Australia,24 Korea25 and Colombia.26 The Colombian paper reads in part:27

“Objective: To describe the isolation and characterization of an early SARS-CoV-2 isolate from the epidemic in Colombia. Materials and methods: A nasopharyngeal specimen from a COVID-19 positive patient was inoculated on different cell lines.

To confirm the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on cultures we used qRT-PCR, indirect immunofluorescence assay, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and next-generation sequencing.

Results: We determined the isolation of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero-E6 cells by the appearance of the cytopathic effect three days post-infection and confirmed it by the positive results in the qRT-PCR and the immunofluorescence with convalescent serum.

Transmission and scanning electron microscopy images obtained from infected cells showed the presence of structures compatible with SARS-CoV-2. Finally, a complete genome sequence obtained by next-generation sequencing allowed classifying the isolate as B.1.5 lineage.

The evidence presented in this article confirms the first isolation of SARSCoV-2 in Colombia. In addition, it shows that this strain behaves in cell culture in a similar way to that reported in the literature for other isolates and that its genetic composition is consistent with the predominant variant in the world.”

If Virus Exists, Why Aren’t Certain Studies Done?

"Virus" studies never discount obvious contradicting factors such as environmental causation. This elephant in the room indicates that these studies are actually detecting free RNA fragments caused by pollution.

Mercola concludes by leading his readers down a pro-vaccine rabbit hole. His concern for the environment is gone.

As mentioned earlier, the actual virus is needed in order to conduct certain studies.

Now, since the virus does exist, we also ought to be able to conduct studies to assess whether the COVID shots cause antibody dependent enhancement (ADE).

Mercola the Compromising Vaxer -- is why the best argument is “no virus”.

Very strong evidence points to: the COVID-19 vaccine...

1) Killing and maiming over a thousand professional athletes.

2) Raising disease incidence up to 10x according to military data.

3) Funeral home directors finding blood clots in 50% of their cases, and only from the vaccinated.

4) Pediatric clinic nurse finding 10x increase in myocarditis.

5) JAMA study finding an epidemic of myocarditis correlating with the vaccine, and warns that it is under-reporting.

Solution: With the no-virus argument, bogus studies and stories are then immediately recognized. Environmental threats are then efficiently discussed.

Obvious environmental examples:

1) The environmental trigger of COVID-19 epidemics

2) Prenatal ultrasound causation for chorioamnionitis

3) Toxic causation for polio epidemics

4) The epidemic of smart meters

Earth Utility Radiation - SWER SYSTEM

by Jim West (please share and cite)

5/13/2004, a group of electrical engineers were in discussion, and the expansion of an environmental holocaust was revealed.

In fact there are systems being developed and in use right now that use earth as a circuit conductor called a SWER system. It is deployed in Utah, Alaska, and Australia. The SWER system is intended as a low cost transmission and distribution system. It uses a single hot conductor for distribution, and earth as the return conductor. I do not like it, but there [it is] none the less. -dereckbc on mikeHolt.com

The name, "SWER system" might be telling the reader that the health implications are fully known and thus, do not bother with activist politics.

This further validates my exploration into utility earth current and radiation during 2018-2022.

In Defense of Disease Symptoms

by Jim West (please share and cite)

Homeopathy and many other alternative health systems are much less harmful than Modern Medicine (allopathy) because they don't outright apply deadly treatments.

However, like allopathy, they consist of rituals to alleviate symptoms.

Take homeopathy as an example.

Example 1 (Homeopathy)

Your loyal friend walks up to you and says,

"Watch out for the approaching out-of-control truck."

You find this this message to be painfully uncomfortable.

You seriously look him in the eye. You pull out a homeopathic pill.

You say,

"This pill represents the pain you bring. I now swallow it, so that you know clearly that I have heard your message. I now do nothing. I do not even try to understand your message."

To say the least, this is an insult to your loyal friend. An insult to your body.

He will not bring any further painful messages.

The pain is gone. You are in bliss. Homeopathy works!!

However...

[Screeching brakes] Bam! You are gone.

Your friend is bitter, staring in disbelief at your blood stains down the road. He nervously begins to laugh, as he says, "How bizarre. What a idiot! What a waste of life and of my life knowing him! The bastard!"

In some form, to some degree, this happens every second everywhere throughout the world, due to the masterful propaganda of Modern Medicine, Homeopathy, and other myopic forms of spiritualism, healing, meditation, prayer, religion, etc, that seek to avoid (alleviate) uncomfortable messages known as "disease" or "symptoms.

Example 2 (Modern Medicine)

Your heart palpitates.

Rather than look around to see what is causing this, such as, the EMF from the computer monitor in front of you or the modem/router next to you...

You go to your doctor. He has been instructed by The World Health Organization and other agencies, not to empathize with patients over EMF issues, i.e., not to help you identify or lower EMF exposure.

A doctor will more likely say that the cause of symptoms is a mystery, or he may find that your grandmother had heart issues, and conclude that your problem is genetic. He may say that you are innately weak.

His usual solution is to send you to a specialist.

You will be administered toxic pills, toxic medical imaging, a cascade of toxic investigations and all under the umbrella of many diagnostic theories that avoid toxicological factors. He may drive you towards surgery or a pace-maker.

He may freely lie to you, painting false pictures. A doctor is legally allowed to lie in order to sell his products and services. He can use a Medical "Deception Flowchart" to facilitate the process.

It is nearly impossible to "listen to your heart" (symptoms) for clues if it is sliced and diced, its valves replaced with plastic, and an electric pacemaker installed to force a robotic heartbeat. You might be drugged, and that won't help you listen either.

Allopathy is an extreme version of homeopathy, but with a similar goal and result (avoiding cause, mainly avoiding toxicology). A smart homeopath challenged me in the comments below, yet he ran.

Orthopathy is better

Orthopathy means right suffering. This was started by people such as Isaac Jennings, MD.

Wikipedia mischaracterizes orthopathy:

"Proponents claim that fasting, dieting, and other lifestyle measures are all that is necessary to prevent and treat disease." [bolding mine]

Actually (from his autobiography), Jennings became famous and wealthy by being an environmentalist. He had to lie to his patients, because if he were honest, he would lose his patients and his income.

Here is his lying method.

As a visiting doctor, he would give patients fake bitter pills that did nothing. He would sooth the miserable patient with words. He would say goodbye, get paid, and walk out the front door, and close it.

He would then open the door a little, peep his head into the room, and briefly say (accurate paraphrase),

"And don't forget, keep the window open for fresh air in the sick-room."

Yes Doctor...

That was the crux of his entire method (which you will find nowhere else).

Invariably he would get a letter stating (accurate paraphrase),

"Whatever pills you prescribed us, they worked as a miracle! Thanks for saving our lives!"

His ventilation advice was critical because fireplaces and stoves often, or usually, cannot easily be ventilated properly and thus they were the major cause of disease of the era.

To this day, exhaust is a major cause of flu symptoms, but doctors won't mention environmental studies, such as Dolan (1985), which found that doctors are assuming flu symptoms to be virological without investigating obvious environmental factors.

Only when Jennings retired financially secure did he confess his methods. The local government gave him a stipend to keep him in the area. And he began the movement of Orthopathy.

Symptoms

Symptoms are your body talking to you. Your body is like an animal that lacks verbal skills.

You are programmed by Medical propaganda to avoid the body's messages, and so they get louder and stronger in an attempt to break through your arrogance, they become "painful".

In other words, Allopathic Medicine has you censoring your own body. When its messages become louder and eventually overwhelmingly loud ("pain"), Medicine weighs in (with your consent) with pain killers and pain control, i.e., it brings poisons to censor your normal messaging functions. They also bring propaganda for your mind.

Gestalt Therapy

The great book, "Gestalt Therapy" by Perls, Hefferline, and Goodman, reverses this Medical trend by having you meditate on your symptoms. It includes exercises to get you to recognize your symptoms.

The ideas of the book, however, encourage the reader beyond special counsel from a therapist. They encourage truthful conversation with the body, and with an appropriate selection from the people you meet every day. Our symptoms get lonely and need to reach out.

The goal is to acknowledge the tremendous reality of the environment, not diagnose it as a fiction.

"Mediation by Cinema" (Medi-Cine) seeks to divide you from your body and its visceral perception of the environment.

Your body may desperately resort to attacking your vanity, by causing dental issues, and presenting a self image of social disgust.

The cause is usually directly near you, in front of you, like your unshielded computer monitor, the LED light on your desk, the modem/router, etc. Or, chemically: Air pollution (indoor/outdoor), bad ventilation, and further away, industrial solvents, paints, stack pollution, traffic, etc.

EMF basic protection

by Jim West (please share and cite)

The more I get into EMF, now for 14 years, the more I realize that it is probably the #1 disease cause. Dr. Samuel Milham and Prof. Neil Cherry have been saying this, but it took years for me to finally grasp it, though I study EMF every day. It is the bane.

A long email discussion with electrical engineer, Bruce McCreary, has been enlightening.

Talking to diseased people about their symptoms, timeline, and environment usually reveals obvious environmental correlations.

I'm referring to industrial EMF, not natural EMF (sun, etc). There is a big difference. We evolved with the sun, not smart meters.

Amulets, herbs, chants, etc, will not save you. This is about simple physical EMF radiation damage to your body from common electrical devices. Distance and shielding are the cures.

Read deeply the various sources listed below, such as https://www.eiwellspring.org

There is no lower threshold of EMF exposure for genotoxicity - Neil Cherry is eloquent on this.

EMF in an apartment is difficult because you have neighbors with bad devices. If you can move, then move. Look for towers and pending towers and 5G implementation now and in the future. Beware of powerlines.

Beware of neighboring smartmeters. See this simple study of smartmeter symptoms: (Link)

Symptoms sight

Your symptoms are in a way, the best meter. But you have been disconnected from them. Symptoms should quickly alert you: Head feelings, sinuses, sniffles, sneezing, heart sensations, muscle dyscoordination, cramps, roughing of skin, and rashes. The skin absorbs 98% of high frequencies, and that absorption equates to damage.

Andrew A. Marino, PhD wrote that eyesight is actually an evolved collection of EMF symptoms responding to the visible EMF wave spectrum (light waves).

Regain your broader range symptom-sight by focusing on them rather than trying to alleviate them. They are talking to you. Listen to them patiently. Use tech meters listed below to regain your awareness.

A great EMF "meter" is an simple analog AM radio, such as the Radio Shack AM/FM Pocket Radio 12-467, or a similar analog radio that is not auto-tuning. You will need to set it between channels so you can listen to the static (which is ambient EMF). This is informal but wide band detection, used even by scientists such as Samuel Milham.

Set the radio to AM band mode, then set it between stations. The "static" from the speakers consist of radio waves. Hold the radio near an electric device. Carry the radio around your area and listen for changes in static sound. Map your area, especially where you sleep, rest, and work.

LED bulbs are fine, but not the stepdown 'switchmode' transformer in its base (converts AC to DC) is hell.

The AM radio reveals lower frequencies such as those associated with AC 60hz devices.

Next, you should get a higher frequency, meter, e.g., a Cornet meter. Buy the best Cornet radio frequency meter that logs data.

Do the above ASAP.

Meanwhile, do you have these?

Smartmeters are hell. They emit much low and high frequency EMF and resonate through the house wiring, putting you in an EMF cage. Call your utility and for a small fee, "Opt-out". Smartmeters emit pulsed radiation. Pulsing can triple the damaging capability of a radiative device such a smartmeter.

Even a neighbor's smartmeter is hell. So best to convince him to opt out, or move to rural area and have at least a 150 feet to the nearest neighbor who has a smartmeter, and shield with copper fabric or foil your wall, because these meters transmit outwardly at least 2,000ft. The beginning symptoms are typical EMF symptoms (insomnia, backache, depression, rashes). Cancer and heart failure are likely results.

LED bulb's use high frequency EMF switchmode transformers (replace with standard bulb-type halogens).

Fluorescent bulbs emit high EMF (replace with bulb-type halogens)

Dimmer switches (disconnect as they will continue to idle EMF through power cables even when off)

Portable electric fans are powerful EMF emitters due to a non-recognized EMF called "motional EMF" generated by their high speed rotations. These should have metal casings and used minimally. Slow-rotating metal clad ceiling fans seem much better.

WiFi equipment, modem/router, computer etc. Change to cable and run it through EMT pipe. Internet cables give off much EMF.

Modern electric stove circuits idle. TV's idle. Most modern equipment has digital circuitry that emits much EMF.

So whenever you can, turn off your breakers, especially when you sleep.

Ideally, you would want to be off-grid, no powerlines connected to the house. Use solar panels, and stay DC, stay with 12volt devices, which are available through the RV industry. There are 5.5v 7w monitors and 12v 30w computer CPUs. DC is safe. AC is not. Some DC devices that handle multiple voltages (12v, 24v, 36v) may use switchmode circuitry. Check all devices, DC and AC, with the AM radio.

Inverters emit high EMF. Yet, an inverter can be used to convert DC to 60hz AC for occasional use such as laundry machine. Yet, 12v laundry machines exist.

Check all devices with AM radio before buying, as switchmode circuitry is in wide use, even in some 12v DC devices. Shield devices from your bedroom, etc.

SOLAR is dangerous

Solar is fine as DC but most people convert it to 60hz AC via high EMF emitting inverters. People want AC devices. Inverters set up high EMF through all power cables.

Stay with 12v DC solar systems and batteries, and you can make that work, step by step. There are 12v computer CPU's, monitors, and sound systems.

Any compromise will compromise your life in the short and long run, due to the 'no lower threshold' dictum. It is difficult if not impossible to compromise somewhat, due to the omnipresence of EMF.

Shielding

Shielding can help, but distance is best. Lessemf.com has shielding. I like aluminum foil for cheapness and fair efficiency, Staticot for self-made sleeping bag and clothing, because the stainless steel 'micro' fiber content is washable, and I like copper-nickel ripstop for strong shielding, though the copper Faraday mesh is very good. Copper is one of the best for value of shielding materials, but like foil, not easily used for fabric.

Ascorbic acid is not "Vitamin C"

by Jim West (please share and cite)

Others have argued this, but I'll argue with some different angles.

The commonly used form of vitamin C is ascorbic acid, a synthetic popularized by those such as Linus Pauling, a famous scientist.

Ascorbic acid is not actually real vitamin C.

Ascorbic acid is a synthetic chemical, an anti-oxidant related to vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is toxic, because it mindlessly disrupts the dual options of oxidation and anti-oxidation that the body uses for the purposes of detoxifying and removing pollutants and microbes. See "Oxidative burst".

These two opposite functions must be under dynamic control of the body's autonomic protection and stabilization systems (the immune system in a sense). Ascorbic acid is a dead synthetic "vitamin C", an anti-oxidant that lacks the ability to cooperate with the body. This is also the problem with refined sugars, as natural sugar is an energy "hormone", which the body understands.

The "immune system" has many beneficial oxidation options, such as superoxides, peroxides, and sulfuration processes, which can handle pollutants. The body may strategically decide to oxidize a pollutant, but ascorbic acid (as an antioxidant) would render oxidation difficult or impossible.

Toxic ascorbic acid

Given that ascorbic acid neutralizes biological oxidation agents, if the body were to attempt to oxidize a pollutant, it would be required to expend energy to overcome the anti-oxidant action of ascorbic acid.

Thus ascorbic acid is toxic at any dose.

Mainstream Medicine says that the probability of toxic effects correlates with dose.

I take no stimulants or depressants and avoid pollution (air, EMF, and medical), thus I have accurate and sensitive symptoms. After taking a vitamin C pill that contains ascorbic acid, I show a fever. A fever is a sign of toxicity.

I do not have a fever after eating an orange.

Upon encountering air pollution (which depletes vitamin C), I crave citrus not a pill. The craving begins before I am aware of the pollution. The craving is a symptom of air pollution. It is a signal to me that the air is polluted.

I assume that sulfur is similarly needed, but it is already present in my diet when I have raw dairy, fruit, seeds and eggs.

Primates (such as humans) recycle vitamin C and do not normally (in an unpolluted world) need to generate it like other animals.

Example of toxic ascorbic acid

During the earlier era of Captain Cook and even back to Ancient Rome, a common toxic pollutant was arsenic trioxide. Ascorbic subverts the immune system, rendering the body more vulnerable to arsenic trioxide.

"...ascorbic acid... a sensitizer... to arsenic trioxide."

Tchaikovsky's Death

by Jim West (please share and cite)

Two theories exist for the death of the great composer Tchaikovsky.

1) He was poisoned by water that had not been boiled. At the time there was a cholera epidemic.

2) He was a homosexual assassinated by his embarrassed fraternity.

However, here is my theory #3, under development.

He was assassinated because he was (unknown to himself) about to be a major EMF critic.

His father was a famous mining engineer. So Tchaikovsky had the scientific skills and attitudes to understand the taboo, EMF disease causation.

His parents planned to send him to a school of engineering. They changed his direction though, sending him to a school of jurisprudence.

His musical sponsor, Nadejda Filaretovna von Meck, was married to an engineer.

The engineering influence advanced him over any other composer of the era, as composition requires an engineer's mind. The great Greek composer, Xenakis, for example, was an engineer.

Tchaikovsky was therefore in good position to discover the biological impact of EMF toxicity. He was apparently one of the early EMF victims, as he spoke about a mysterious "Sensation Z".

These occur around 1884, and Russian electrification began around 1880.

This term has been interpreted to mean his worries about his homosexuality. Yet he was comfortable with his sexuality. Portraits of him with his boyfriend look confident and content, and portray a common gay couple, such as is NYC West Village. His only worry about his homosexuality was his reputation, how it would affect his audience.

He was in position to be able to determine that EMF could be the contributing cause to his Sensation Z.

Gender dysphoria studies find genderto be an EMF symptom.

Tchaikovsky was was one of the most famous people of the era, and electric lighting was installed in Russia decades years before he died.

His health complaints began soon after Russia began its program of electrification in 1880.

4/19/1891 he visited New York City, which had been electrically illuminated for nine years. He wrote:

Then Mayer procured permission for me to see the vaults of the public treasury,,, Bags of gold rested like sacks of flour in a barn, in beautiful, clean, electrically-illuminated chambers.

He begins the next paragraph with:

Throughout this interesting journey I felt a peculiar sensation, which must be old age, a most horrible tiredness.

Whenever I think symptoms are "old age", I research my environment and find EMF and/or air pollution, The symptoms point to the cause, and shielding, distancing, or turning off the source, brings healing and calm. Tchaikovsky (from a science and engineering family) might have discovered the same if he had not died two years later, 11/6/1893.

He values the "sensation" of absolute natural peace, and in an EMF world that would be very difficult. In New York, he writes,

I'm living very well, but still in my heart I secretly sigh about my dear Villa Richelieu. I was destined for such a life, and only similar terms of existence can wholly satisfy me. No city and no amount of brilliance and noise can give that wonderful sensation of absolute peace, absolute freedom, which is only possible in the quiet and isolated corners of the world.

6/4/1884, during an evening rehearsal, which could have been electrically lit:

I was very jittery: everything upset me not without cause: the pain, or perhaps it would be better to say, the strange sensation in my throat which has lasted a long time, is beginning to worry me, and I still have slight discomfort as if from hemorrhoids as well.

6/6/1884:

All day I was alarmed and extremely irritated by that same strange sensation in my throat.

EMF affects the thyroid and related organs around the throat (studies).

6/7/1884 his throat issue are described by the present-day editor of the letters website, as "tonsillitis". This is an inflammation of lymph glands, which I see in my friend who sleeps 20 feet from a smart meter and next to a giant cell tower. Another person I know with acute EMF issues, had thyroid radiation treatment. Thyroid issues can be frightening as they can bring choking sensations.

Additional historical issues

There is a credible theory that Russia was being politically ushered through history by the elite bankers, set up for the covert installation of Lenin and Trotsky by the these global elites. See the work of British historian, Antony Sutton.

Russia and its achievements had to be publicly diminished in order to set it up for this fake communist revolution. This was a major part of the global polarization of national roles by the global elites (Communism vs Free Market, dual Super Powers, etc.). Russia was a creative, industrious and successful nation, as evident by its music. That reality had to be changed to a doomed and depressive culture, with Communism the answer.

A literary example of a Russian author of depressing propaganda was Dostoevsky, as described in Wikipedia:

Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. [His] literary works explore the human condition in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia...

Sutton argues that Russia was not troubled. It was a social and industrial success.

Dostoyevsky's themes, as promoted, are pity the poor - poverty leads to low self-esteem. However, the poor are also hated by those who believe in money culture, and Dostoyevsky was widely published and promoted apparently to facilitate the invasion of poor cultures with the Pity Industrial Complex. Sutton documents his argument that global bankers destroyed Russia, training and importing Lenin and Trotsky and replacing its culture with Communism.

Stable and traditional cultures are destroyed by the money industrial complex.

Not that simple, however, from Wikipedia:

[To] place Dostoevsky politically is not that simple, but: as a Christian, he rejected atheistic socialism; as a traditionalist, he rejected the destruction of the institutions; and, as a pacifist, he rejected any violent method or upheaval led by either progressives or reactionaries. He supported private property and business rights, and did not agree with many criticisms of the free market from the socialist utopians of his time.

Everyone must be brought into an amoral version of money culture, where quality dives and quantity thrives in a brave new world of drugs, pesticides and brilliant, noisy, toxic electrical radiation. See Jon Rappoport's "America is a Hospital". The heroin drug wars were waged against China, as the leadership resisted the incursion of drugs. The sensitive needed to be removed from society, to facilitate of the entry of the brute culture.

Conclusion

Thus the tragic ending of Tchaikovsky after completion of his 6th symphony. It may have been necessary. He was young for a composer and destined to be even more dominant throughout Europe. It would be difficult to degrade Russia with Tchaikovsky active in the music scene.

The Real History of Scurvy

by Jim West (please share and cite)

My alternative theory for scurvy

Scurvy was found among sailors on ships. But the ship's wood was treated with arsenic to ward off barnacles and other pests. The sailors maintained the arsenic treatment to the wood.

Arsenic was used much as a preservative for the foods that were being shipped back in those days. Sailors drank arsenic tonic water, as a pepper-upper.

The original scurvy cure was "scurvy grass", known for its high sulfur content, which combines with heavy metals enabling them to be passed out through the kidneys.

Captain Cook originally used onions (not citrus), also high in sulfur.

The stories about oranges and lemons are a cover-up for the history of scurvy as arsenic poisoning. They threw a bone to the vitamin C loving health nuts who helped to spread the stories.

Sulfur in citrus

Dr. Thomas Lind is said to have cured scurvy with citrus in his experiments, but citrus is biological vitamin C not ascorbic acid, which is a dead synthetic fraction of live biological vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is the profitable industrial definition of vitamin C.

Citrus also contains some small amount of sulfur.

A related issue, started by Justin (in the comments), is that ascorbic acid, the commonly used form of "vitamin C" is not actually vitamin C. See related post.
