On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


The Great Banquet

The Parable of the Great Banquet is found in Luke 14:15-24. It is similar to the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:1-14), but with some significant differences. The story in Luke’s Gospel was told at a dinner that Jesus attended. Jesus had just healed a man with dropsy and taught a brief lesson on serving others. Jesus then says that those who serve others “will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous” (Luke 14:14). At the mention of the resurrection, someone at the table with Jesus said, “Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God” (verse 15). In reply, Jesus tells the Parable of the Great Banquet.

In the parable, a man planned a large banquet and sent out invitations. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to contact each of the invited guests, telling them that all was ready and the meal was about to start (verses 16-17). One after another, the guests made excuses for not coming. One had just bought a piece of land and said he had to go see it (verse 18). Another had purchased some oxen and said he was on the way to yoke them up and try them out (verse 19). Another gave the excuse that he was newly married and therefore could not come (verse 20).

When the master of the house heard these flimsy excuses, he was angry. He told his servant to forget the guest list and go into the back streets and alleyways of the town and invite “the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame” (verse 21). The servant had already brought in the down-and-out townspeople, and still there was room in the banquet hall. So the master sent his servant on a broader search: “Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full” (verses 22-23).

Jesus ends the parable by relating the master’s determination that “not one of those men [with excuses] who were invited will get a taste of my banquet” (verse 24).

The statement that prompted the parable is key. The man who, in verse 15, looks forward to dining in the Messianic kingdom probably subscribed to the popular notion that only Jews would be part of that kingdom. The parable Jesus tells is aimed at debunking that notion, as the following explanation makes clear:

The master of the house is God, and the great banquet is the kingdom, a metaphor that was suggested by the speaker at the table. The invited guests picture the Jewish nation. The kingdom was prepared for them, but when Jesus came preaching that “the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 4:17), He was rejected. “He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him” (John 1:11).

The excuses for skipping the banquet are laughably bad. No one buys land without seeing it first, and the same can be said for buying oxen. And what, exactly, would keep a newly married couple from attending a social event? All three excuses in the parable reveal insincerity on the part of those invited. The interpretation is that the Jews of Jesus’ day had no valid excuse for spurning Jesus’ message; in fact, they had every reason to accept Him as their Messiah.

The detail that the invitation is opened up to society’s maimed and downtrodden is important. These were the types of people that the Pharisees considered “unclean” and under God’s curse (cf. John 9:1-2, 34). Jesus, however, taught that the kingdom was available even to those considered “unclean” (cf. Acts 10). His involvement with tax collectors and sinners brought condemnation from the Pharisees, yet it showed the extent of God’s grace (Matthew 9:10-11). The fact that the master in the parable sends the servant far afield to persuade everyone to come indicates that the offer of salvation would be extended to the Gentiles and “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people” (Romans 15:10).

The master is not satisfied with a partially full banquet hall; he wants every place at the table to be filled. John MacArthur’s comment on this fact is that “God is more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.”

Those who ignored the invitation to the banquet chose their own punishment—they missed out. The master respects their choice by making it permanent: they would not “taste of my banquet.” So it will be with God’s judgment on those who choose to reject Christ: they will have their choice confirmed, and they will never taste the joys of heaven.

The basic message of the Parable of the Great Banquet could be stated this way: “The tragedy of the Jewish rejection of Christ has opened the door of salvation to the Gentiles. The blessings of the kingdom are available to all who will come to Christ by faith.”

The inclusion of the Gentiles is a fulfillment of Hosea 2:23, “I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.’” God is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9), and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?”
For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
Romans 11:33-36

Data Centers. Gotta Have Them, MeThinks.

Locals Were There First. Assimilate with locals for the Win-Win. Cost AND availability of water AND power should NOT increase over whatever locals currently pay.

Ideally locals utility cost will be reduced. Modern technology ought to be able to deliver lower costs. Data centers are already going to improve local utility infrastructure.

  • Win-Win for everyone.

WAIT A Second. STOP The presses!

Below article addresses none of the concerns mentioned above. Though, those concerns Must AND I believe will be addressed to fairly meet local concerns, needs.

Energy reality forces tech to ditch climate virtue-signaling

If we want the data centers to run, we have to ditch the global warming propaganda.

In Pecos County, Texas, crews are clearing scrubland for a power plant that will burn natural gas and answer to no one but Amazon.  With 35 turbines and a generating capacity of more than 7 gigawatts, the plant will be able to produce more electricity than the Grand Coulee Dam.  A state permit allows the facility to emit 33 million tons of greenhouse gases a year, roughly double what comes from an Alabama coal-fired generator that has topped America’s emissions tables for years.

Now recall who founded the company building the gas behemoth.  That would be Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, who just 5 years ago told delegates at a U.N. climate summit that a rocket ride had shown him a planet that was finite and fragile, prompting a pledge of $2 billion to “restore” nature.  The applause was warm.  The carbon-intensive private jet that carried Bezos to the Scotland meeting was noted by critics and forgotten by everyone else.

Now his company is financing what may become the largest point source of carbon dioxide in the United States, whose contribution to the greening of ecosystems should be welcome.

You are watching a conversion, and it deserves your attention because of what forced it.

The template, not the exception

Enverus Intelligence Research projects that user-owned turbines will account for about 40 percent of new data center capacity through 2030.  Microsoft has signed a 20-year deal for power from a Chevron gas plant in neighboring Reeves County.  Interconnection subscriptions are full, transformers are back-ordered, and the only metric that matters is the time it takes to get a power plant in operation.

In 2021, Facebook’s parent company Meta declared climate change one of the most pressing challenges facing the world and positioned itself among the largest corporate buyers of clean electricity.  Then came its Hyperion data center in Louisiana.  Regulators approved three combined-cycle gas plants for it in August 2025.  In March 2026, Meta tripled the order, funding seven more and making the totals 10 gas plants and nearly $11 billion of investment.  Meta will underwrite 15 years of revenue, while the turbines will run for 30 — a mismatch that has a dissenting member of the Public Service Commission warning that households may inherit the balance.

Elon Musk built an empire on the premise that combustion belongs to the past.  In 2024, he said that a carbon tax was the only action needed to solve climate change.  More recently, addressing G20 ministers, he warned of a significant power shortfall next year and defended data center construction against negative public sentiment.  Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, in the same meeting, asked governments for more electricians and more electricity.  Neither man requested more wind and solar installations.

Energy physics forces a hard reset

Big Tech’s turn toward dedicated gas power does not settle the climate debate, but it exposes the distance between a political narrative and a power grid capable of supporting industries.  When servers must run, physics gets a vote.

For example, at the start of 2026, every grid-scale battery in the United States combined could meet national demand for only 15 minutes.  Modeling the PJM regional power system through 2045, Jonathan Lesser and Mitchell Rolling found that a grid of wind, solar, and batteries would need 10 times the generating capacity of gas and nuclear power.  It would also cost about seven times as much and cover a land area larger than the PJM service area, which comprises most of the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Midwest.

Yet despite these facts, pseudo-scientists, grifters, and demagogues lectured for 20 years that coal is immoral, natural gas is a bridge to nowhere, and so-called green technologies are the planet’s salvation.  Banks denied financing for hydrocarbon projects in developing countries where surgeons operate under lights powered by unreliable generators and where hundreds of millions cook with sooty wood and dung. 

The lesson is the same for data centers and households: Prosperity requires electricity that is available when needed.  Dependable systems of conventional energy sources will continue to power the tech revolution and human progress for decades.

Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats by Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here.

Dismantle Them. Salt The Ground. Start All Over Again. Do It Right Next Time: Part One.

This is about completely dismantling the CDC, the FDA, NIH, and NIAID; and rebuilding them following a new format: that of actually serving the health of the American public. Up until 4 August 2026, this “edifice” named above had evolved into a funds-funneling vehicle for dangerous Gain-of-Function experiments in laboratories ranging from: Dr. Ralph Baric’s lab at UNC Chapel Hill (development of the SARS-CoV-2 “template” virus); to Dr. Zheng-li Shi’s laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (where the SARS-CoV-2 “template virus” was being “enhanced” prior to its being released in late fall 2019); to Dr. Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance (Gain-of-Function experiments funding via “grants” from NIH / NIAID); to NIAID and Moderna entering into an agreement (in 2015) to co-develop, co-own the Patents for, and share in the royalty payments for the use of, mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX), and of mRNA-1345 (mRESVIA.)

What does dismantling this “edifice” involve? Among many other aspects, in Yours Truly’s opinion: firing all current employees; stopping the funding applications for new research projects; stopping all current funding in place for approved research projects; cutting all ties to, and involvement with, pharmaceutical companies regarding development and manufacture of drugs and injectables; and, RESCINDING the agreement signed between the United States Department of Defense and NIH / NIAID. This agreement was signed between the United States Department of War (signature by Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, as representative, on 4 August 2026), and the NIH / NIAID (signature by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of NIH, on 5 August 2026), that ceded future development of injectable medicines (including influenza and COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”), in addition to other drugs, from NIH / NIAID to the Department of War; and, in addition, with NIH / NIAID providing “data and information”, along with to up to $2 Billion dollars in funding. (https://www.theqtree.com/2026/09/11/health-friday-9-11-2026-open-thread-25th-anniversary-of-9-11-nih-and-the-department-of-war-just-signed-a-new-agreement/.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The focus of today’s offering is the now-proven fact that the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene therapy injections) can cause cancer in “vaccinated” persons via THREE OF THE INGREDIENTS IN THESE “VACCINES.” Note: the appelation “lipid nanoparticle(s)” and the acronym “LNP(s)” are used interchangeably.

The first and second ingredients in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” (gene therapy injections) that cause cancer: the spike protein; and, the SV40 cancer promoter gene code piece. Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine, “BREAKING STUDY: Pfizer COVID-19 “Vaccine” Plasmid DNA Found Inside Lethal Turbo Cancer of the Heart”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 September 2026. The deceased was a 35-year-old male, with no personal or family history of cancer, who took the “primary series” of two injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, BNT162b2, in April and May 2021. 170 days after the second injection, the patient was diagnosed with a “large tumor” in the left atrium of his heart, and that had already metastasized to the brain. Despite numerous surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, the patient ultimately passed away 675 days after the initial diagnosis. Please see the screenshots from the Hulscher article, below:

Look at the above again: The SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer was NOT found to be present. What WAS found to be present were “vaccine” spike protein fragments. This confirms that the spike protein in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” can cause cancer. This is aside from the fact that the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece is ALSO in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/17-ways-mrna-shots-may-cause-cancer, “17 Ways mRNA Shots May Cause Cancer, According to Over 100 Studies”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 24 June 2025.

**** This makes two ingredients (out of the three) which these modRNA-based injectables contain that can (and do) cause cancer. The paper that is referenced in the Hulscher article is here: https://zenodo.org/records/22677693, “Fatal Cardiac Intimal Sarcoma in a 35-Year-Old Male Following COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination: Plasmic DNA Fragments Encoding the S-Protein Detected in Tumor Tissue”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, et al., 9 September 2026. Note: The paper is a preprint. Interested readers should consider archiving, printing out, or otherwise saving it, in the event the paper is later Withdrawn, Retracted, or Reissued with New Conclusions due to pressure brought on Zenodo by outside entities, or due to pressure brought onto the paper’s authors. In addition, it is now proven that the modRNA, the spike protein, and the SV40 cancer promoter-enhancer gene code piece can be found in “vaccinated” persons for at least 3.5 years after injection: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-51c, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds mRNA, SV40, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans for At Least 3.5 Years After COVID-19 “Vaccination””, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 July 2026. The paper referred to in this article is found here: https://doi.org/10.18103/mra.2026.0351, “Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, et al., epublished 31 July 2026. Yours Truly discussed this paper in the following post: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/09/04/health-friday-9-4-2026-open-thread-countermeasures-and-precautions-an-opinion-piece/.

The third ingredient in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that can cause cancer is now proven — cancer caused by the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) within these “vaccines.” Please see: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/causal-role-of-lnp-induced-inflammation, “Causal role of LNP-induced inflammation in cancer metastasis in mice”, Jessica Rose, PhD, 3 September 2026. Please the screenshots, below, from Dr. Rose’s article:

So, to examine a couple of things: First, what are neutrophils? The short answer is, they are a type of white blood cell. Please see: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22313-neutrophils; a screenshot from this article is below:

Second, the Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA early in 2021 (https://icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/125742_S1_M2_26_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf, regarding the biodistribution of BNT162b2 in the Wistar lab rats experiments and the related amounts of the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315. Please see the screenshots from this report, below:

The paper referred to by Dr. Rose in her article is here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nantod.2026.103039, “Lipid nanoparticle used in mRNA vaccine promotes metastasis in mouse model via mt-DNA-induced neutrophil activation and NETosis”, Binhan Wang, et al., 28 March 2026. Note: the full article is restricted-access via institutions or via article purchase. The following screenshot is from the ScienceDirect “public viewing sections” page of the paper:

So, it appears that multiple types of lipid nanoparticles were used in the Binhan Wang, et al., experiments. Note: some combination of the above LNPs (DSPC and DMG-PEG2000) are found in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna 2026-2027 modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” SM-102, another LNP, is used in the Moderna “vaccines” (the ALC-0259 and ALC-0315 LNPs are used in the Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccines.”)

Please refer again to Page 7 of the Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary for BNT162b2 above, the huge accumulation of lipid nanoparticles AT THE INJECTION SITE of the Wistar lab rats. This argues that there is a similar accumulation of lipid nanoparticles AT THE INJECTION SITE for humans who take these “vaccines”: which would then also trigger the cascade of neutrophil activity for “vaccinated” persons, also STARTING AT THE INJECTION SITE WITH CELL DEATH. For another report on the Binhan Wang paper, and how important it is, please see: https://www.newstarget.com/2026-09-07-study-lipid-nanoparticle-mrna-vacines-promote-tumor-html, “Study finds Lipid Nanoparticle in mRNA Vaccines Could Promote Tumor Metatasis in Mice”, Morgan S. Verity, 7 September 2026.

**** And, there is another aspect of this situation: the fact that modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” SHED ONTO OTHER PEOPLE, including onto non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” people (https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, 7 January 2024.) It is already known that, for example, mRNA-4157, the modRNA-based “individualized cancer vaccine” being developed by Moderna, requires female clinical study subjects to either be taking birth control starting BEFORE they begin participation in the study, AND to continue taking birth control for several months AFTER they complete participation; or, to be beyond childbearing age. This means that Moderna tacitly admits that mRNA-4157 CAN SHED. Please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/08/28/health-friday-8-28-2026-open-thread-mrna-4157-v940-also-known-as-intismeran-by-team-merck-and-moderna/.

It is past time, in Yours Truly’s opinion, for the American public to demand, first, that the entire “edifice” of the CDC / FDA / NIH / NIAID be completely dismantled and rebuilt as entities that will actually respond to, and safeguard the health of, the citizens of the United States; and, second, that the August 2026 agreement between NIH / NIAID and the United States Department of Defense be completely rescinded.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

God’s Judgement

There are two separate judgments, one for believers and one for unbelievers. One is a judgment that does not lead to condemnation (Romans 8:1); the other judgment will result in eternal condemnation (Revelation 20:15).Believers are judged at the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10–12). We believe that this judgment will probably occur in heaven during the seven-year tribulation on earth. Every believer will give an account of himself before the Lord. This judgment does not determine salvation, which is by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8–9); rather, it determines the rewards believers will receive.

First Corinthians 3:11 pictures Christ as our “foundation,” and the surrounding verses liken the Christian life to building on that foundation. We can build with “gold, silver, costly stones,” or we can build with “wood, hay or straw” (verse 12). What we construct will be tested, as it were, by fire. Our worthless, shallow activity will not survive God’s refining fire; only what is done for God’s glory will last. The judgment seat of Christ will reveal this.

Believers will be rewarded based on their good works in Christ’s service and their faithfulness to the Lord (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:24–27). We will give an account of our actions, inactions, words, thoughts, and motives. Were they truly indicative of our position in Christ? “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God” (Romans 14:12).

The second judgment is that of unbelievers. This will occur at the end of time, after the millennium and the final rebellion of Satan on earth. This judgment of the wicked is called the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11–15). This judgment does not determine salvation, either. Everyone at the great white throne is an unbeliever who has rejected Christ in life, and his fate is already sealed. Revelation 20:12 says that unbelievers will be “judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” Those who have rejected Christ as Lord and Savior will be judged based on their works alone, and no human work can atone for sin or earn salvation: “By the works of the law no one will be justified” (Galatians 2:16). All their thoughts, words, and actions will be measured against God’s perfect standard, and they will be found wanting. There will be no reward for the unbelieving, only eternal condemnation and punishment.

In summary, after death (or the rapture), believers in Christ will stand before the Lord to give an account. They will be judged on the basis of Christ’s perfect, praiseworthy work on their behalf. After death, unbelievers will also stand before the Lord, who will examine their records. They will be judged on the basis of their own imperfect, unworthy work and their rejection of Christ’s word (John 12:48).

Dumocrat Michigan…

Man Justifiably Kills Shooter In Self-Defense, Still Gets Punished By Blue State Anyway

By Harold Hutchison

A 19-year-old man who protected others by killing a gunman received two years of probation from a Michigan judge who accused him of using “poor judgment.

Martinez Long, 19, was with Cania Cain at the Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan, on July 3 when Cameron Watkins fatally shot Keonte Seaborn,. Long shot Watkins to prevent Watkins from harming anyone else. Long, while found to have acted in self-defense, was still charged with carrying a concealed firearm, The Detroit News. (RELATED: Armed Citizen Halts Shooting Rampage By Man Who Went Berserk Over Vape)

“He didn’t plan on using it that day. He thought he kept it for protection,” Long’s attorney told the court. “He didn’t instigate the fight. He didn’t start the fight, and he did pull it out for protection of others.”

“I know there was a gun fight at the Fairlane mall, and the lawyers have agreed, according to this court’s evaluation, that you were acting in self-defense or the defense of others, so that’s a valid legal defense,” the judge said to Long. “Why did you walk into the mall with a gun in the first place?”

Michigan is a “shall-issue” state that requires a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) to carry a concealed handgun for any applicant over the age of 21 who meets certain criteria, according to the NRA’s summary of the state’s gun laws. The laws distinguish between concealed and open carry, treat pistols in vehicles as concealed, and impose specific duties and location restrictions on CPL holders.

Due to his age, Long was placed under the provisions of the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, a 2021 law that will allow him to expunge his criminal record if he successfully completes probation.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. Delivers ABSOLUTELY HISTORIC Speech at RNC Midterm Convention in Crushing Blow to Democrat Anti-Americanism (VIDEO).

Robert Kennedy Jr., the outstanding US Health and Human Services Secretary, delivered an absolutely historic speech at the RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas on Thursday night.

Kennedy spoke about his long history in the Democrat Party, a once great party that represented the working man and woman and stood for individual rights and Freedom of Speech. Kennedy tells the sad story of how almost every police officer and fireman belonged to the Democrat Party and how they protected women and the downtrodden.

RFK Jr. described a party that is an absolute shell of its former self. He tells how the former president had his social media taken down for conflicting with the lies they were telling the American people during the COVID epidemic.

Robert also spoke about Democrats’ support of Israel and the party’s clarity on the radical Islamic threat. That is long gone.

And, then Robert Kennedy, Jr. delivered the most powerful and moving history of his relationship with President Donald Trump.

He ended with, “And I am so grateful to God for giving our country a leader like this.”

This was truly a historic speech. We hope you take the time to listen to this piece of history.

Here is the transcript:

Robert Kennedy Jr.: I’m 72 years old. And for 70 years of my life, I would have bet any amount of money that I would not be addressing a Republican convention.

Let me tell you something.

The irony of my presence here is inescapable. I attended my first Democratic convention in 1960 when I was 6 years old, and I attended most of the conventions, the Democratic conventions after that, and I spoke as a keynote speaker in many of them. I grew up in a Democratic Party of Franklin Roosevelt, of my Uncle John Kennedy, of my father, Robert Kennedy. And ours was a party— Ours was a party of strong principles, of clear policies, and an inspiring idealistic vision for America. My uncle ran on a platform of tax cuts, strong defense, and fighting communism. Does that sound familiar?

The Democrats of that era stood with labor and working people and the American middle class. Nearly every cop and firefighter was a Democrat. Our party was a champion of the Bill of Rights and particularly for unbridled free speech. It was wary of centralized government power and corporate privilege and secret intelligence agencies. My uncle and father understood the connection between free markets and functional democracy. They stood firmly against crony capitalism on the right and socialism on the left. They were all for competition, for meritocracy, and for excellence, which they thought should be a universal aspiration for Americans.

My father and uncles had served in World War II, and they understood the difference between forever wars that they opposed and wars to protect our national security, which they believed we should never hesitate to defend.

My family played critical roles in building NIH and CDC into centers of gold standard science that transformed America into this relentless dynamo. of international research. They promoted physical fitness, and they protected women’s sports. My Uncle Ted Kennedy wrote Title IX, which— because he wanted to make sure that women, real women, were able— were able to have a safe and guaranteed spot in college sports. And they stood with Israel as the bulwark of democracy. And as a beacon for press and religious freedoms, a haven for oppression— from oppression to gays and women and ethnic and religious minorities. amidst a regional sea of intolerance, of misogyny, of child marriage, of human slavery, and of ethnic and religious genocide. They saw Israel as America’s most critical frontline ally in fighting the toxic ideology of Islamism.

That’s right.

Which by its own accounts is waging an existential war against our country and against Western liberal democracies. It’s an ideology that has subjugated and impoverished and tyrannized and tortured the people of Palestine and the people of Iran, and they openly promise to do the same to us. Democrats opposed government coercion, defended individual rights, believed that government should give Americans information, good information, and then let them— trust them to make up their own minds. Democrats and labor leaders fought fiercely in my generation to stop illegal immigration at the border.

During COVID I watched the Democratic Party turn against every one of its essential values, its principles, and all of the policies that define my party. Democrats turned away from gold standard research and blindly defended industry-sponsored, agenda-driven science written by corrupt and captive regulatory agencies.

And the Democrats, which were once the champions of the American Constitution, systematically obliterated the Bill of Rights. And particularly beginning with the First Amendment, under the guise of combating misinformation, Democrats censored hundreds of scientists, and physicians who questioned the government’s dubious COVID pronouncements and orthodoxies. 37 years— 37 hours after President Biden took the oath of office, he ordered Facebook and Instagram to remove my accounts in order to prevent public debate.

Crowd:  Boo!

RFK Jr.: I’m not complaining about what happened to me, but it was a bad thing for our country. Democrats obliterated the first— the second leg of the First Amendment, the right to the guaranteed right of assembly, by social distancing regulations that were completely unscience-based. Democrats violated the third leg of the First Amendment, the freedom to worship. They closed every church in our country for a year. Who could imagine that would have ever happened? And they kept open the liquor stores and the big box stores as essential businesses. Democrats torpedoed the 7th Amendment right to jury trial by giving liability shields to the giant pharmaceutical companies. No matter how negligent they were, no matter how reckless, no matter how toxic the ingredients, no matter how grievous your injury, You could not sue them. Democrats violated the 5th Amendment by shutting down 3 million businesses with no due process and no just compensation. Democrats shut down the 4th Amendment, protection from unlawful searches and seizures, by forcing Americans to disclose their medical information before they could exercise their constitutional rights. In a single year, my party obliterated 250 years of constitutional guarantees. The only Bill of Rights that they left unscathed was the Second Amendment, and probably only because there is a Second Amendment.

Crowd:  Booo!

RFK Jr.: 

And then the party of my body, my choice forced citizens to wear masks and to submit to invasive and intrusive medical interventions against their own wills. The party of MeToo— remember that we were all supposed to listen to women and to believe women— they cruelly silenced the voices of tens of thousands of mothers who believed that their children had suffered vaccine injuries. The Democrats declared war on women’s sports, effectively destroying Title IX.

Democrats condemned meritocracy openly and celebrated mediocrity. The Democratic Party became the party of elites, labeling working Americans as deplorables. Democrats cultivated deep ties with Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Insurance, and the mainstream media. They embraced policies that divided Americans along racial lines. They abolished my uncle’s physical fitness test because they said that competition was bad for children.

Crowd:  Boo!

RFK Jr.: 

The Democrats abandoned all of these values and all of their traditional values, offering Americans only one policy, the one policy that they stood for, the unbridled, sociopathic, and blind hatred of a single man, Donald J. Trump. And they were so confident that Trump hatred alone was sufficient to win elections that they abandoned accountability and made our government a predatory organism of monumental incompetence and corruption.

The Democrats dismantled the public— public integrity safeguards and opened the floodgates to thieves and fraudsters who fleeced the American medical regulatory agencies for $100 billion annually during every year of the Biden administration. They somehow— they somehow lost 360,000 children, and they turned our federal government into the biggest child trafficking operation in world history.

Crowd:  Booo!

RFK Jr.:  The Democratic Party, in short, lost its way. I mourn the fact that neither my father nor my uncle would recognize the Democratic Party of today. It struck me this was no longer about left and right. It was about sane and insane. It was about common sense and communism. In April 2023, I ran for president hoping to summon my party back to its bedrock values. But the Democratic Party had lost faith in American voters and utterly ironically lost faith in American democracy. They were convinced that they would lose the ballot box. They couldn’t win. And so they unveiled a lawfare strategy to prevent an election from occurring. They sued every candidate who dared to run against Joe Biden. and then attempted to remove us all from the ballot. A lot of you think that the lawfare was just against Donald Trump. It was mainly against him, but they sued Dean Phillips. They sued Marianne Williamson. They sued Cornel West. They sued Donald Trump 50 times in 38 states to remove him from the ballot.

And they sued me in 12 states to remove me from ballots where I had legally qualified. And then— this is almost comical— after I endorsed President Trump and I tried to remove myself from the ballot so that he could have my votes, they sued me to keep me on the ballot. I’m not joking. Oh, here was the Democratic Party that in my youth, the biggest issue that we had that my father and my uncle fought for was voting rights, and particularly in the southern states, to guarantee that every American had a right to cast a ballot. And here’s that same party 60 years later using all of its ingenuity and all of its power to make sure that Americans could not vote for the candidates that they wanted to vote for. They excluded me from the debates. They canceled the primaries. The Democratic Party changed the rules to make sure I could not win, and neither could the other people who were running as Democrats, no matter how many votes we got. And for the first time in history, they canceled their own convention. No voter ever cast a primary ballot for Kamala Harris. No elected delegate was ever consulted.

A party of no kings simply anointed a queen.

Handpicked by secretive party elites who nobody even knows who they were. They’re just faceless guys with lanyards who were calling all the shots from the upper decks of that convention center, and they— nobody can see their face any more than you can see the face of the people up there. But that’s who was making the decision. And then they canceled the convention and they held a coronation. The day that President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, within 3 hours of his shooting, he called me and asked me for a meeting. And during the series of talks that followed, I realized that everything that I had heard about President Trump and everything I believed about him from the mainstream media was a lie. Everything. I discovered, I discovered a self-effacing man of superior intelligence, of empathy and compassion, with an encyclopedic grasp of the issues and within, in molecular detail, and most of all, a near reckless courage to challenge vested interests and official orthodoxies. I found a man who cared deeply about transparency in government, who believed in protecting free speech more than anything, and the entire United States Constitution. We talked about lowering drug prices, supporting farmers and ranchers, standing up for working Americans, restoring law and order, and protecting public safety and security and national safety as well.

We talked about ending official corporate influence, unraveling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, and restoring gold standard science and public trust. We, we talked about ending fraud, waste, and abuse. And most importantly to me, We talked about ending the chronic disease epidemic and restoring the health of our children. President Trump told me that he wanted safe food available to all Americans. He wanted to end chronic disease. He wanted to restore our kids’ health. He found it unacceptable that this country pays 2 to 3 times what every developing nation in the world pays, and yet we have the sickest children in the history of the world. We have the highest chronic disease burden ever recorded. These conversations changed the course of my campaign and my life. I realized that many of the foundational values of the Democratic Party had found a new home, and it was called the Republican Party.

Crowd:  USA! USA! USA! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!

RFK Jr.:  Now, out of a sense of fairness, after my conversation with President Trump, I tried to have the same conversation with Kamala Harris. You think she would agree to meet with me? Did she even pick up the telephone?

So on August 23rd, 2024, I suspended my campaign and I endorsed President Trump.

Later that day, on stage at the Turning Point rally in Arizona, I met President Trump, and that moment would never have happened without my friend Charlie Kirk. Charlie played a critical and indispensable role at bringing me and President Trump together. In fact, it was something that he was trying to do for almost a year, the last year of my campaign. And today, on the first anniversary of his assassination, I can’t stand here without thinking about him. Charlie believed that people from all different political traditions could find common ground in their love of country. That we were— we, in this age of algorithms driving us all apart and creating this terrible, destructive polarization, the only way that we were going to rescue our country is if we started talking to each other and having congenial conversations. And he helped build the bridge that President Trump and I walked across that day. And I like to believe that Charlie is looking down on all of us now. And, and seeing the seeds that he planted.

That afternoon, President Trump and I stood together in front of thousands of Americans.

We shook hands and we made a promise to the American people. Together, we promised to make America healthy again.

Some of my— some of my Democratic friends told me that I was a fool for trusting President Trump. And so I want to make the record clear right now. President Trump has kept every single promise that he made to me, without exception.

And we have kept our promise to the American people.

Today, 2 years into this administration, Americans are eating more real food. Real food sales were up 8% in 2025.

Americans are eating less processed food. Since President Trump took office, obesity is down by 7% after 40 years of increasing.

And this is best of all— preliminary data that I received 2 days ago. from CDC indicates that we have now reversed a 30-year decline in longevity.

President Trump has ended 9 wars.

He’s restored competency to our government. He’s restored public faith. He’s restored America’s leadership across the globe.

And I am so grateful to God for giving our country a leader like this.

And I’m grateful to President Trump for including me in his administration and giving me a place.

In this extraordinary revolution that is happening in our country, where we’re going to restore American democracy and restore the America that my uncle and father believed in, the exemplary nation respected and emulated across the globe. We are making America healthy again. It’s up to you now. We need to elect a Republican Congress to keep this momentum going. Let’s go out and do that. God bless you.

God bless America. Thank you all very much.

Grateful our ancestors broke the British chains, again, and again…

Thankfully, Trump is finishing off the Brits, Canucks… Along with NATO. Ideally UN.

Stay The Course. Trust Trump. Remember…

Never, Ever, forget what they did to us.

Celebrate America, Everyday!!!

Relax, It’s Saturday.

Night crew, your nickel.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yours Truly writes today regarding a different type of attack: an attack, in my opinion, on the freedoms that Americans are guaranteed under the Constitution. This attack is in the form of an agreement, signed in August 2026, between the National Institutes of Health — and the United States Department of War. Thanks to 2nd Smartest Guy In The World: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/breaking-department-of-war-to-play, “BREAKING: Department of War To Play Larger Role In U.S. Biodefense & Pandemic Preparedness Under New Agreement With NIH”, 5 September 2026. Thanks also to Jon Fleetwood: https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/nih-hands-up-to-2-billion-in-future, “NIH Hands Up to $2 Billion in Future Pandemic, Other Emergency Projects to Pentagon Funding Vehicles GAO Still Cannot Track”, 6 September 2026.

The signed agreement is here: https://media.defense.gov/2026/Sep/04/2003992359/-1/-1/0/INTERAGENCY-AGREEMENT-NIH-AND-DOW-REDACTED.PDF. It was signed by NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, on 5 August 2026; and, by Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, Assistant Secretary of War for Nuclear Deterrence, Chemical, and Biological Defense Policy and Programs (OASW ND – CBD), on 4 August 2026. The agreement runs for 10 years, until 2036. Dr. Kadlec spent 26 years in the United States Air Force. He was also the lead “architect” of Operation Warp Speed (https://www.acq.osd.mil/ncdbp/leadership/bio-kadlec.html.)

**** It appears that it was the NIH that requested this agreement be drawn up. It appears that the full agreement has not been finalized yet. Please see the screenshots from the signed document, below. Discussion will follow:

Department of War (OASW ND – CBD — Dr. Kadlec) responsibilities in the agreement:

NIH – NIAID (Dr. Bhattacharya, director, NIH; Dr. John H. Powers III, MD, Acting Director, NIAID) responsibilities in the agreement. Note particularly the first item:

The current Acting Director of NIAID is Dr. John H. Powers III, MD; he was appointed to this position by NIH in June, 2026. Dr. Powers is also Deputy Director of NIAID. His biography is below, from https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The American public, as of early 2026, was starting to wake up to the following facts: One, that NIH / NIAID had been funding dangerous Gain-of-Function research on deadly pathogens for years — experiments performed in the United States and at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China; Two, that NIH / NIAID hid the information about these experiments from the American public for years; Three, that at least one high-ranking NIAID employee — Dr. David Morens — had destroyed numerous communications related to these experiments; Four, that Dr. Morens destroyed these communications based on either the knowledge and approval of, or on the after-the-fact approval of, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of NIAID; Five, that Dr. Fauci consistently lied to Congress in his appearances there to testify about these experiments; Six; that Dr. Fauci was granted a pre-emptive Presidential pardon for any “crimes committed relating to his activities at NIAID” between 2014 and December 2025 by then-President Biden; Seven, that Dr. Fauci pled the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution in response to every question posed to him during his Senate committee appearance in July 2026; Eight, that the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” are, in fact, dangerous and deadly; Nine, that the American public is beginning to refuse to take modRNA-platform based “vaccines”, including the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”; and, Ten, the American public is beginning to realize that these “vaccines” can, and do, induce or aggravate multiple types of illnesses, injuries, and disabilities — and can, and do, cause death — in people who take them. It is also now known that NIH / NIAID and Moderna had signed an agreement regarding co-development of, co-ownership of the Patent for, and sharing of royalty payments for use of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, mRNA-1273 and its “descendant” COVID-19 “vaccines” (SPIKEVAX and mNEXSPIKE.) This agreement is still in force. It is also now known that the then-Department of Defense (now Department of War) had signed cooperative agreements with Pfizer-BioNTech regarding that company’s development and implementation of, the modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine”, BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY) — agreements that involved the United States Army in various aspects.

The American public is starting to push back on the use of these “vaccines.” The American public is starting to realize that NIAID, under Dr. Anthony Fauci, was funding Gain-of-Function virus research — research that ultimately resulted in the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. And what does NIH / NIAID do? NIH signs an agreement in August, 2026 — and said agreement is NOT in the public’s eye until almost a month later — to transfer up to $2 Billion dollars to the Department of War for the funding of MORE Gain-of-Function experiments with modRNA-based platforms — in other words, shifting Gain-of-Function research from NIH / NIAID over to the Departent of War. This funding transfer includes paying Department of War personnel. What happens as the direct result of this signed agreement, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is the merging of NIH / NIAID with the Department of War — with NIH / NIAID as the “silent / funding” partner. No “draft agreement” was put before the American public to read. No “public comment period” before the agreement was drawn up and signed. It can be assumed that HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., either knew of this agreement and approved it; or, that he was presented with the signed agreement after the fact, and it was made clear that he could do nothing about it.

Does this mean that the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in conjunction with Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax? That the Department of War will, in the future, lab-create the “next latest version” of influenza “vaccines” in conjunction with Big Pharma companies? That NIH / NIAID will, in the future, do “pass back and forth” processes with the Department of War related to the future development of these “vaccines”? Does it mean that NIH / NIAID will, in the future, be answerable to the Department of War, and not to the American people? What happens to the “advisory roles” of the CDC’s ACIP panel, and to the FDA’s VRBPAC panel? — Are they, in the future, going to he under the control of the Department of War? DID DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SIGNING?

**** It appears that NIH is already moving projects over to the Department of War. Please see: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02799-3, “Revealed: inside the US & military’s plan to tap huge sums from the NIH”, Max Kozlov, 4 September 2026 (correction 5 September 2026). Most of this article is behind a restricted-access wall. Screenshots from the “general public view” section of the article are below:

The X post by Dr. Bhattacharya has to be read to be believed:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The United States military, via the Department of War (formerly, the Department of Defense) has been working in collaboration with Big Pharma and with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for decades; in particular, regarding HHS, working with the FDA / HHS / NIH /NIAID. Katherine Watt, the retired paralegal who closed her Substack earlier this year, wrote extensively about these collaborations. One such collection of her writings, regarding chemical / biological / “vaccines” aspects, is in PDF form, here: https://bailiwicknewsarchives.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/biological-agents-vaccines-chemical-and-biological-warfare-law.pdf.

It appears, in Yours Truly’s opinion, that the collaboration between the Department of War and HHS (NIH /NIAID) has, through the agreement signed between Dr. Robert Kadlec and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya in August, 2026, been taken to a new, and dangerous level: that of NIH / NIAID transferring Gain-of-Function and modRNA-platform “vaccines”development to the Department of War, along with also transferring up to $2 Billion dollars in funding for such activities. This, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is unprecedented. The taxpayers of the United States were not apprised of this situation. It appears that one person — Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD, of the Department of War — is literally now in charge of modRNA-platform “vaccine” development for deployment in BOTH civilians and the military; and, one person — Dr. John H. Powers III, MD — current Acting Director of NIAID — will literally be in charge of funneling NIH / NIAID funds, data, and other research information, to the Department of War; while, at the same time, himself reporting to NIH director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

There are many crucial questions about this situation that MUST IMMEDIATELY be answered — with the answers GIVEN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. Among them:

**** The NIH is the “requesting agency.” Exactly when was the first “request” made to the Department of War? What person(s), exactly, at NIH, made the “request”? To what person(s) at the Department of War?

**** Was HHS Sec. Kennedy, Jr., consulted before the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If so, when was he consulted? If so, did Sec. Kennedy, Jr., approve the first “request” from NIH to the Department of War? If not, did NIH go ahead anyway?

**** Is Pete Hegseth, Department of War secretary, involved in this situation? If so, what type(s) of involvement? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Robert Kadlec, MD? Is Sec. Hegseth in contact with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of NIH? Is he in contact with both?

**** Did President Donald Trump47 know of the new agreement between NIH and the Department of War? If so, was he consulted on this situation? If so, did he, as Commander-in-Chief, approve it?

**** Is / was, Dr. Erica Schwartz, MD, Rear Adm. (ret.), the current director of the CDC, involved in any way regarding the NIH / DOW agreement? Dr. Schwartz was an important “enforcer” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” mandate on the U.S. military.

**** Has, in fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) been “merged into” the Department of War in any way whatsoever?

Living in America: Trade’s Observations – DMSO

Today’s post is about DSMO plus other personal health observations. As has been done many times on The QTree, helping each other leads to a better life for all of us. We have gained much from each other. One of the many things I have appreciated about a resource we follow on here at times, midwesterndoc, is his truth telling that is supported by experience, research and other documented findings in the medical field. This is longer in that I am including the most asked for information that he provides later in the body of the thread.

What Led To My DSMO Journey

As usual, I have a winding story to tell. I will keep it relatively short.

I have posted previously that over the years I developed moderately sized bone spurs in the lumbar region of my spine. I only have myself to blame as it is a direct result of a lack of exercise in my personal time when not playing desk jockey in my career. I compounded the problem by being overweight by 20-30 lbs. during much of the period. After taking early retirement, my weight increased another 25 lbs. by eating like a pig as I decompressed from the stress of those working years. I felt I was entitled to doing whatever I wanted. Some 13-14 years ago it all came to a head and became a bigger problem that impacted daily living. I did not see it at the time, however, I was being disobedient to God and derelict in my responsibilities to my family by acting in that manner.

The Lord woke me up, convicted my spirit and helped me realize what I was doing was wrong headed. This led to a complete makeover. I knew I needed to get off my tail, cut the bad eating, and become more fit. Playing a round of golf with the other old farts a couple times a week was not enough. So, I did what I knew would work from previous times when I was in better shape – start a better diet and get back to fitness walking. It took awhile to build back the stamina, however, over time it led to 3-5 miles per day at a 15 minute/mile pace on the gradual slopes of our neighborhood for 5 days per week on average. In inclement weather I used our recumbent bike. I continued to golf even more frequently and added an every other day training routine with dumbbells. I paired the fitness with the original Weight Watchers points oriented nutrition plan that wifey had used in the past.

A little over a year later I had dropped 50 pounds and was in the best physical shape I had been in for a long time. My golf game improved dramatically. I could play about any course and break 75 for 18 holes. All was good – for about four to five years.

I posted awhile back about the misery the back caused me after driving to a lowcountry vacation one spring. I managed to old man hop into the rental unit at the condo project, consume large amounts of Aleve, and endure until I could arrange to see a great local chiropractor a couple days later. It changed how I thought about my situation. In the process of the treatments I was soon restored to being able to do 10 K steps of daily fitness walking by the end of the two week vacation. That made the trip home much easier to accomplish. She taught me appropriate stretches and exercises. She told me to lay off golfing for a couple of months as well as to find a good local chiropractor to assist going forward.

Of course, I did not do much of what she said when we returned other than I did lay off golf for a few weeks. What can I say, it’s a stupid guy thing, right ladies?

😀

That is until I contracted shingles a year later. Awful. Next up, immediately after recovery my lower back started getting cranky again. At the time I was not aware of the spurs, I just believed that Father Time was catching up to me. Like many people I blamed it on my sciatica acting up. That slowed my roll. Golf began taking a back seat along with a reduction in fitness walking to allow time to recuperate. However, the back never really felt right for a long time.

Then one day wifey and I decided after a great deal of research and talking with other parents and grandparents that Grandson #1 probably needed the services of a good chiropractor to assist with his physical issues. Daughter and SonIL agreed and so began his journey I reported on here. We scheduled him with a highly competent local chiropractor who utilized similar methodology as the one in the lowcountry. She also had additional medical school related education on the brain and CNS. We used the opportunity to receive treatments for ourselves with the side benefit of helping #1 feel comfortable. Collectively, our lives changed for the better. In particular to this post, the comprehensive nature of the scans, techniques, and explanations helped shape how I viewed my spinal, hips, etc. condition as well as overall well being.

This eventually led to our more recent efforts to retool our bodies as cholesterol reported on blood tests crept up annually for both of us and wifey’s BP spikes were becoming more troublesome. We had our weight creep up with it. As I already posted, we went Keto. This was wifey’s first time doing it and my second. Wifey did not need to lose as much weight as a percentage, so she modified hers to include high fiber multigrain toast that she enjoys in the mornings.

We’ve had excellent results. We both also truly enjoy our food choices again. Neither of us desires to go back to the sugar and bad carbs.

We continued the supplements we discuss on here including the Berberine/Cinnamon that completely changed wifey’s health condition as I previously posted. Her dose has gone down to 500 mg daily. Long gone are the prescribed BP meds she took with zero spikes for about five months now. By all measures she is done with needing them. We both plan to shift to Hawthorn Berry at Aubergine’s suggestion. We will begin soon since we have likely achieved our lower LDL cholesterol goals as well as lowering wifey’s borderline high glucose. Gone is much of her vertigo. Her BP is ALWAYS in the 110-120/60-75 range now, which has helped with that greatly. When she has occasional short term bouts of dizziness we have determined it is allergy and sinus related.

Our energy levels have jumped and we sleep much better. We are both in traditional healthy weight ranges for our heights and ages now. It feels good to be back to my college athlete weight range again. We no longer dread the results of future physicals or blood tests. We actually look forward to the looks of our formerly smug healthcare providers not being able to say anything negative or attempt to justify additional tests, drugs and vaccines. It has also been kind of fun to build a new wardrobe of inexpensive old fart clothes that fit while donating the previous to those who need them.

These experiences have obviously proved very beneficial, but have not been the complete answer. They were major milestones on the journey as we continued to seek more answers that would not only help us, but also assist others.

Which Led To More DSMO

Wifey’s great response to DSMO drops for her eyes after the serious infection from two years ago has already been discussed here. In the process she rid her vision of annoying floaters and reduced the cataracts that were forming. She is wearing lens from four years ago. Her eyes are healthy and vision clear. Her optometrist is amazed. The drops assisted me by also eliminating floaters and combined with IVM seem to have eliminated the former macular degeneration concern. The retina specialist I once saw that determined I had it has been eliminated from my contact list. The early stage cataracts he also said were forming are nowhere to be found per my last two annual comprehensive eye exams. Funny how that works. I start using IVM and DSMO and now there is no evidence of cataracts formation or MD in my optometrist’s comprehensive eye exams that include imaging. I reduced the use of DSMO eye drops to once per week maintenance for reasons I explain below. Wifey uses them one day per week to maintain.

As I posted recently I have been applying a DSMO gel/aloe vera gel/essential oil combo to my spurred lumbar region for about 9 weeks. Combined with morning stretches and exercises along with reduced weight, my mobility without pain has improved strongly. The tests for me are with the golf swing and after working in my gardens. The latter are on our sloping lot. If something is going to go awry with my back, it will be from those two activities as the hips are tested as well. The good news is there has been no pain and really good mobility for my age. There have been no returns to the chiro. As a result this approach will continue.

There are many other applications of DSMO as most know. We also use on osteoarthritic joints and it really helps. There are literally thousands of reports from people who do the same thing. I tried to use it topically with my tinnitus issue to no avail. When still using the chiro she adjusted the cervical spine region for the purpose and it provided moderate relief initially, but no additional in follow-ups. This led me to believe, along with midwesterndoc’s research, that it is a neural issue since the condition first appeared after catching the Wuhan.

To address I chose to ingest the 99.995% filtered liquid version with fluids. I started with half a teaspoon daily and recently increased to a teaspoon. I greatly reduced the use of DSMO eye drops when I began taking orally. The net result with the eyes continues to be that I have zero floaters with no other noted negative changes. My vision is better and more sharp when taking it in combination with the VisionEdge Pro vitamins I recently began using. I am sure that the occasional prophylactic use of IVM assists as well.

I have detected a significantly improved tinnitus condition recently, not nearly as loud and much more manageable. If I had to estimate I would say 50% less than its high point. There have been no adverse side effects unless you believe growing more hair in previously declining locations is a negative side effect. Wow. Wifey is calling me an old bear now, which means the shaving blade purchases have increased. My nails are healthier and I need no sunscreen. It seems to have improved other body conditions and functions as well. Some of those are covered in the research from midwesterndoc and do not need elaboration by me here. User experiences may vary of course.

😀

Will see how all of this goes over time and report back. At this stage I am very encouraged by the progress.

I have also followed a recommendation from one author for a topical nerve repair oil for #1 to apply to his cervical spine area, which has been a trouble spot per the chiro treatments and provides a good path of entry to his CNS. It is DSMO liquid, Arnica Massage Oil, Almond Oil and essential oils of Lavender and Chamomile. We are monitoring. He has exhibited less neck soreness with a calming effect since we started. We hope it will work into his CNS and provide benefits with his sensory issues over time.

midwesterndoc

The information below was take from a substack article of midwesterndoc. As many know he is regularly cited for his work recently even in the medical research industry as well as by noted physicians such as Pierre Kory. He has over 368,000 subscribers now. I have been very pleased with the information he has provided. Here is a link to his substack.

https://substack.com/@amidwesterndoctor

I have used other sources I found on Kindle for recommended mixtures that use additional ingredients such as aloe vera gel, essential oils, shea butter, various massage type oils, etc. for topical applications. Experiment with some and use the ones that prove effective for you. Below is the part that matters most if you choose to use it. It is a copy/paste direct from his 8/29/26 article titled How DMSO Heals The Blood Vessels and Could Save Millions From Strokes. In the article he lists three recommended suppliers of DSMO. I have only purchased from The DSMO Store, both direct and through Amazon. It is the most popular brand.

Note: Wifey and I have stayed within the quoted parameters you will read below.

DMSO Dosing:

One of the things that’s very challenging about using DMSO is the significant variation in what each individual responds best to. Because of that, throughout this series, I attempted to provide a very detailed explanation that could account for each possibility, which was too complicated for many readers (but I would still advise reading).

However, most of it boils down to the following:

•If you use too high a dose, you risk having a bad reaction (which dozens of people have now told me made them not want to use DMSO anymore), whereas if you use too low a dose, the effect will be much less than desired (which may also lead to them abandoning DMSO). In turn, I’ve had many people here who:

  • Applied 100% DMSO topically and had trouble believing anyone couldn’t tolerate that.
  • Applied 70% DMSO topically, had a bit of irritation, but thought it was manageable [this is the most common optimal topical dose].
  • Applied 30% topically and felt it was too strong.

Similarly with oral dosing, I’ve had people who:

  • Thought 1 teaspoon in a glass of water [the most common optimal oral dose] was decent, but quickly took more for a greater effect.
  • Found that a few drops was the optimal dose for them (and greatly benefitted), whereas 1 teaspoon while initially good, ended up feeling like it was too much for them and caused their sensitive system to react.

Because of this, you essentially have two options, and have to decide which is right for you:

•Be patient and start with a low dose, then build up progressively.

•Start with a strong dose, and agree not to hold it against me or DMSO if you don’t tolerate it.

Note: in some cases it can take a while (a few weeks, and sometimes a few months) for DMSO to significantly improve an issue like chronic pain, but normally the response is much faster at the correct dose.

In the previous articles, I’ve advocated for the former. Still, many understandably started with a high dose as they did not want to wait for the results, and a few of them then shared they’d had a skin reaction that made them hesitant to continue using DMSO.

Similarly, when using DMSO, there are two common routes of administration: oral and topical. Orally, it is much stronger, but likewise, the GI tract is more sensitive to higher concentrations of DMSO. For this reason, I typically suggest starting with topical DMSO before doing oral DMSO. However, for more systemic issues (e.g., joint pain throughout the body or low energy), oral use is often necessary (and in many cases, works well when combined with topical DMSO).

Likewise, there is a minimal risk (1 in 2000) of an allergic reaction, so it’s generally advised to begin by patch testing DMSO on the skin before taking it orally.

So, What is Patch Testing?

Patch testing is a method used to determine how a product reacts when applied. It’s a smart way to test a small area first before applying the product to larger areas, helping identify any adverse reactions.

How to Patch Test:

•Select a Small Area: Choose a discreet spot.

Apply a Tiny Amount: Use a small quantity of the product.

Wait and Observe: Leave it on for 24 hours unless you notice irritation sooner.

Proceed if All’s Good: If there’s no reaction, feel confident to use the product as intended!

*If in contact with the skin: some experience itching and tingling sensations and irritation, which are normal. If there are any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling), wash the area immediately and discontinue use.

That said, for general DMSO use (without going into all the nuances and additional details), I advise the following:

  1. Start with 30-50% DMSO and see how you tolerate it. If applying to the face, make sure all makeup has been washed off (and ideally that you are only using natural cosmetic products) and use a lower initial concentration (20%).
  2. If you have no issue, gradually raise it to 70%. Many find 60% suffices for most musculoskeletal issues, while 30% is often needed for sensitive skin.
  3. Only raise it past 70% if you are certain you are one of those people who are fine with 100% or you are using it for a specific application that can justify a higher concentration (e.g., a collagen contracture, a scar, an internal adhesion, or an acute stroke).
  4. If you have immediate issues with topical administration (e.g., burning or redness) that you cannot tolerate, wash off with water and try a lower dose. If your skin becomes cracked or dry after repeated use, take a break and hydrate the area with aloe or a natural oil.
  5. Until you are comfortable with topical applications, avoid oral applications, and only use them if you think you need them (or topical does not work for a reason besides an allergic reaction).
  6. For oral dosing, start with a teaspoon of 70% or 100% DMSO mixed into a glass of water (you may also want juice, a smoothie or milk to eliminate DMSO’s taste), as a heavily diluted solution is best to start with (and consider having it away from meals). If you consider yourself to be a “sensitive patient” instead start with a lower dose.
  7. If you have issues with that, lower the dose to half a teaspoon and then to a quarter teaspoon (or to drops).
  8. Otherwise, stay at a teaspoon for at least three days, and then if you think you need a more substantial effect, go to 2 teaspoons.
  9. More than 2 teaspoons in a glass of water is excessive, and at that point, you are better off dividing the dose throughout the day. A case can also be made that more than 1 teaspoon is excessive (especially if you also use smaller glasses).
  10. With both topical and oral DMSO, people generally find that as time goes on, their reactivity to it decreases (so they better tolerate it). Conversely, if it’s used too frequently, particularly for chronic pain, a tolerance can develop, so it’s generally advised to skip 1-2 days a week if it needs to be taken long term.

Regarding concentrations, I generally advise buying 70% DMSO because people rarely react to it (e.g., the DMSO community found this concentration offered the best balance between safety and efficacy). It doesn’t require any significant calculations to dose appropriately (e.g., you can apply it topically as is, or mix it with equal parts purified water to roughly 35%). However, you can also do all of that with 100% DMSO (e.g., dilute it to roughly 50% by mixing with equal parts purified water, or to roughly 33% by mixing with 2 parts purified water). Finally, certain parts of the body, particularly the face, tend to be more sensitive to higher concentrations of DMSO, so you should start at lower strengths in those areas.

If you are applying DMSO to the face (which is more sensitive to DMSO), start at 30% and do not use a higher concentration, as this can cause significant skin irritation. For example, I had one reader who started with a 70% gel on the face and contacted me about a reaction she had (although after the surface layer of skin peeled off, her face underneath looked much younger).

Since DMSO concentrations can be difficult to calculate, one reader made an excellent online calculator that can guide you through how to achieve any target DMSO concentration with the DMSO you have (which can be viewed here).

Additionally, a challenge in dosing DMSO is that it weighs slightly more than water (1 mL of DMSO is 1.1004 grams). Since DMSO has a relatively wide range of tolerability, I’ve bypassed that issue by treating it as having the same density as water and suggesting a slightly lower oral dose.

When applying DMSO topically, there are two options. The first is to use a liquid that you directly apply (e.g., I like to use paintbrushes made from natural hairs to dab it on, but sometimes when needed, I just dip my finger in it and then rub it onto the target area, whereas the DMSO field often uses sprays for sensitive skin conditions or hard to reach areas). The second is to use a gel that is rubbed into the skin.

Note: DMSO will leach many plastics at concentrations above 15%. For this reason, 15% or lower is advised for situations where it has to come into direct contact with them.

I personally prefer the liquids because they’re easier to control the total dose with, more of the substance gets into the body, and liquid DMSO tends to be less irritating. That said, gels hold the advantage of continually releasing DMSO into the body over a prolonged period and are much easier to apply. As a result, the choice you make is largely a matter of personal preference.

Note: as mentioned above, when applying DMSO topically, it is essential first to clean the area where it is being used.

Lastly, since many readers have requested it, this is a general guideline on what doses of DMSO tend to be appropriate for each part of the body:

Internal Use (Oral):

  • Starting Dose: 1 teaspoon in an 8 ounce (or greater) glass of water.
  • Increase: Up to 2 teaspoons (~10 ml) twice daily for treatment.
  • Body Weight-Based: 0.05-0.1 g/kg/day (e.g., 7 g for 70 kg, ~1.5 teaspoons), with higher doses (with up to 2 g/kg) advised by some for emergencies (e.g., heart attack, stroke or cancer).

Note: I essentially do not know what the upper or safe limit is for longterm oral use, as typically users either do 1 tsp with good results, reduce it because they are sensitive to symptoms standard doses create for them (e.g., a few people had headaches) or go much higher than the doses recommended by the DMSO community to address chronic symptoms (typically pain or arthritis) and report no issues. Presently I believe the most important consideration is ensuring oral DMSO is sufficiently diluted as higher concentrations (especially above 20%) can irritate mucous membranes (which exist throughout the GI tract). Additionally, while I see the 2g/kg figure floated around a lot (which I believe originated from Morton Walker’s book), I am not sure if this dose is too high.

External Use (Skin):

  • Concentrations:
    • Legs/Feet: 50–80% (70% typical).
    • Arms/Torso/Neck: 40–70% (50% typical).
    • Head/Face: 25–35%. (some go up to 50% for the head)
    • Wounds: 40–60%.
    • Warts/Boils: 75%.
    • Sensitive Skin: Start at 30%.
  • Application: 2–3 times daily, adjusted based on skin sensitivity and response.
  • Precautions: Avoid >15% on surgical stitches to prevent brittleness.
  • Ideal routes of application include with natural hair brushes (dabbing creates less irritation than rubbing), with your own (clean) fingers, or with a spray bottle (particularly for open wounds or areas that are otherwise hard to reach on your own body). With spray bottles, glass ones which have been pre-washed with DMSO are ideal.
    Note: gloves should never be used to apply DMSO to the skin (as very few gloves are DMSO resistant and as such the chemicals in them will be leached into the skin).

Mucous Membranes:

  • Mouthwash: 5–15% solution, swish for 2–4 minutes (can go higher if no dental implants).
  • Ear/Nose Drops: 15–40% (15% minimizes irritation).
  • Other (e.g., oral, rectal, vaginal): around 10% is often recommended due to high tissue permeability.
  • Gum issues/inflammations: Use 5–15% mouthwash.
  • Aphthous ulcers/cold sores: Dab directly (often with 100% DMSO).

Injections:

  • Concentration: 15% for subcutaneous, intraarticular, intraperitoneal.
  • Intramuscular/Intravenous: 3-25% in an isotonic solution (we tend to use 3-5%, 7.5% is frequently recommended, most of the published studies, particularly in acute emergencies used higher doses).

Eyes: 3% isotonic solution has the best balance of safety and efficacy (although many go up to 40% or even higher which I feel is a bit too high—20-30% should be the maximum—however the eyelids can tolerate higher doses than the eyes and applications there will also help the eyes).

Nebulized: 1% isotonic solution (although some go much higher—e.g., numerous readers have been using 50% with success).

Note: be sure to clean the nebulizer thoroughly before nebulizing DMSO (and consider prerinsing it with concentrated DMSO to draw DMSO soluble chemicals out). Ideally, use a concentration below 15% with plastic nebulizers to prevent leaching of chemicals from the plastic.Regarding dosing, a theoretical risk exists that nebulizing higher doses of DMSO could cause a pneumothorax by disrupting pulmonary surfactant. However, the only known case I am aware of occurred in a tall, slender individual with a narrow chest — the exact body type known to carry the highest risk for spontaneous pneumothorax. Lastly, quite a few of the people using DMSO for COPD (who have been using fairly high doses) report breathing difficulties immediately after the nebulizing—after which breathing significantly improves from baseline (which again argues for not using excessive doses).

Lastly, in some cases, particularly for injuries, 50% DMSO is applied by soaking a bandage in it (or a DMSO mixture), placing it on the affected area, and then wrapping it with other bandages to ensure continuous DMSO exposure. In those instances, due to the prolonged exposure lower concentrations can be required, and if so, it is ideal to use a natural material (e.g., cotton).

Note: after prolonged DMSO exposure, DMSO can cause the fingers to wrinkle in a manner similar to being in water for a prolonged period but will recover in a few days.

Conclusion

Our approach is to never give up. We desire to think outside the box and consider all options, especially since we all know we have been deceived and manipulated by the traditional medical industry, Big Pharm, FDA, CDC, etc. for so long.

Please remain watchful and expectant of God to lead you on the journey of life. The same Lord who created the vast universe cares even about the seemingly smallest details in your life. Love Him in a similar manner to how He loves you. Blessings to all.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


Pride . . . our Downfall through the Ages

The first recorded sin in time is the devil’s fall from grace in the following passage, prophetically directed at the king of Tyre, but apparently meant to include an angel, namely Lucifer:

Isaiah 14:12–15: How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.

Satan’s sin was pride. He was so beautiful, so wise, and so powerful as an angel that he began to covet God’s position and authority. He chafed at having to serve God and grew angry and rebellious. He did not want to serve, he wanted to be served; he, as a creature, wanted to be worshiped. How starkly contrasted to our savior Jesus Christ, who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

Some passages in Proverbs talk about the sin of pride and what effect it produces.

Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 11:2: When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

Proverbs 18:12: Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.

Pride literally went before the fall, both the fall of Satan and the fall of man. Pride causes shame, loss of wisdom, destruction, and ruin. If one were to summarize what actually happened as Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, wouldn’t these passages describe their mental and physical condition exactly? The shame of committing sin against God, physical disease, pain and death looming on the horizon, loss of fellowship with God, and the fight to eke out a living from the cursed ground—all these are the outworking of the sin of pride.

Was Adam and Eve’s sin just disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit? Well, yes, that was the physical act that followed what had already occurred in their minds and hearts. But let’s take a closer look at the passages in Genesis to see what the real sin was and where it started.

Genesis 3:1–7: Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

Genesis 3:12–13: Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

First Satan questioned God’s word, then he openly lied to Eve, contradicting what God had said. Then he used the tantalizing bait that humanity could be more like God by having their eyes opened, knowing things they currently didn’t know. The real heart of the situation is the statement that Eve thought the tree was good for food and desirable to make one wise. Why would she think this? God himself had told Adam (and either God himself or Adam had told Eve) that eating from the tree would lead to death. Why would she (and subsequently Adam) accept the word of a talking serpent over the word of God? Only doubt of God’s word and subsequently God’s motives could have led to this tragedy.

They didn’t just ignorantly decide to eat the fruit, nor did they eat it because “the devil made them do it.” Satan’s outright lies and cunning half-truths brought something to the surface of Eve’s mind that fateful day. She realized that to “be like gods” meant not having to serve God, it meant being equal to God. It meant that she felt as if God had deliberately kept her and Adam in the dark regarding their “divine potential.” Why should they tend God’s garden in Eden when they could be as gods themselves? Why should they have to obey God if they were also gods? The quickness with which Adam agreed to Eve’s offer of the fruit may possibly show that he too had these same feelings. In any event, we know that it was Adam’s sin that was responsible for the fall and the curse (Romans 5:12). The sin of pride that led to Satan’s fall had now infected the hearts and minds of Adam and Eve, and the result was the same: shame, loss of wisdom, ruin, and death.

In verses 12 and 13 are Adam and Eve’s response to God’s question. The sin of pride shows through in their replies. Look at whom they really blamed for their actions: “The serpent deceived me,” said Eve; “The woman you gave to be with me enticed me,” said Adam. They almost seem to say that if they had been God things would have been different; therefore, it’s all God’s fault. These are not the responses of broken and contrite hearts, they are the responses of a proud and willful people caught in the act of rebellion against God.

Pride is still man’s most prevalent sin. Little has changed since the fall. Man is still a creature consumed with pride. Romans 1:18–21 gives the current condition of mankind:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Why does mankind suppress the truth? Why does he not glorify God? Why is he unthankful? Why is his imagination vain and his heart darkened? Because he does not glorify God as God. Mankind wants to glorify himself as God. We want to be the sole decision maker and sole authority in our life. We want nothing to do with a creator God to whom we should owe allegiance. If only we could come up with some natural explanation for everything we see around us, if only we could ignore our conscience, if only we could forget past history that clearly shows divine intervention, then we could rationalize away God and make gods of ourselves. Isn’t this exactly what we see today? Now we have evolution, moral relativism, humanism, revisionist history, and all other attempts to willfully hold God’s revealed truth at arms length. Truly our sinful human pride knows no bounds!

The Lord knows where his creatures are most prone to err, and pride infects all of humanity. We could make a case for pride being the fountainhead of all other sins. Anger, hate, jealousy, and ingratitude all stem from pride; something we wanted to happen did not happen and we feel offended, our pride is wounded, and our emotions are stirred to cause us to act sinfully. We could even make the case that “the love of money is the root of all [kinds of] evil” passage in 1 Timothy 6:10 really deals with the sin of pride as well. We know that covetousness is the same as idolatry (Ephesians 5:5), and idolatry is the sin of creating our own god by being too proud and stubborn to worship the True God. Consider the following verses in Proverbs that reflect God’s attitude toward pride:

Proverbs 6:16–19: These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Proverbs 8:13: The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

On God’s list of the top seven most heinous sins, pride comes in at number one! In verse 13 we see that the fear of the Lord is equated with hating pride and arrogance. If we allow pride to control us, we do not really fear God as we ought. C. S. Lewis said, “The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.”

What should we as Christians do to guard against this sin? There are no instant cures for this sin. Pride is a sin we struggle with on a daily basis. (In Romans 7:13–25 the Apostle Paul agonizes over his struggles against sin, and Paul had to endure the “thorn in the flesh” in 2 Corinthians 12:7 that was given to keep him from becoming exalted above measure.) However, God doesn’t leave us or forsake us. He gives us grace and power to overcome even this most insidious sin. A couple of passages in James and 1 Peter deal with this.

James 4:5–8: Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

1 Peter 5:5–10: Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

In both of these passages we’re warned to forsake pride and humbly submit ourselves before God in order to resist the devil. We give Satan a foothold when we walk like him rather than like Christ (who came to do not His own will but the will of the Father).

It’s only through God’s grace and provision that we can daily overcome our innate pride. We need to pray (cast all our cares upon God), study the Bible (be sober and vigilant), be submissive to God by obeying Him and revering Him, and recognize that it is Jesus Christ who strengthens, establishes, settles, and perfects us.

Without Him we can do nothing!

BREAKING: STUDY FINDS mRNA “VACCINES” COULD INDUCE OR ACCELERATE CANCER VIA 35 DISTINCT MECHANISMS

The most comprehensive analysis to date examining the link between mRNA “vaccines” and cancer identifies convergent mechanistic, clinical, and population-level evidence of turbo cancer.

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Cancer is rising at an increasingly alarming pace. Early-onset malignancies are climbing in younger adults, aggressive cancers are appearing in patients with little warning, and U.S. cancer mortality has departed sharply from its pre-pandemic trajectory. Against this backdrop, one of the most important questions in medicine is whether the unprecedented mass deployment of nucleoside-modified mRNA technology could be contributing to cancer initiation, reactivation, or accelerated progression.

We have now fully answered this question in a new paper titled Potential Oncogenicity of Synthetic mRNA Vaccines: Convergent Mechanistic, Clinical, and Population Evidence for a Concurrent-Hit Model of Accelerated Malignancy authored by John A. Catanzaro, NMD, PhD; Nicolas Hulscher, MPH (myself); Raphael B. Stricker, MD; Jamie K. Waselenko, MD, FACP, FICT; and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH.

In the most comprehensive analysis to date examining the link between mRNA “vaccines” and cancer, we brought together mechanistic biology, published clinical cases, large population cohorts, U.S. cancer-incidence data, and national mortality records to evaluate whether these gene products could induce, accelerate, or unmask malignancy.

The findings converge on the same alarming picture: TURBO CANCER IS REAL.

And the implications extend far beyond COVID-19 vaccination, because the same underlying mRNA technology is now being pushed directly into cancer treatment.

Below is a concise breakdown of what we found:

MECHANISTIC EVIDENCE

We identified 35 distinct cancer-promoting mechanisms converging through 4 major routes: (1) protooncogene activation, (2) mutation pressure, (3) protein–protein interaction network interference, and (4) cancer stem-cell clonal acceleration.

Key mechanisms include EGFR/RAS/MAPK and STAT3–MYC activation, p53/BRCA suppression, impaired DNA repair, residual plasmid DNA and SV40 regulatory elements, LINE-1 reverse transcription, m1Ψ-associated frameshifting, chronic LNP inflammation, immune suppression, and cancer stem-cell expansion—pathways capable of promoting genomic instability, uncontrolled growth, immune escape, dormancy reactivation, and metastatic outgrowth. The full inventory of cancer-promoting mechanisms can be found in Table 4 of our study.

Our central concurrent-hit model proposes that these processes do not necessarily operate independently or sequentially. Multiple cancer-promoting hits overlap in the same susceptible host, compressing the time required for dormant, indolent, or microscopic disease to become clinically aggressive.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE

The published clinical literature includes 333 documented turbo cancer cases across 27 countries, involving lymphomas, leukemia, melanoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, glioblastoma and other glial tumors, sarcomas, and pancreatic cancer. The vast majority of these cases occurred following COVID-19 vaccination, with a minority following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Approximately 86% of the post-vaccination cases occurred after nucleoside-modified mRNA products—about 56% after Pfizer-BioNTech, 25% after Moderna, and another 5% after exposure to both mRNA products across different doses.

Across these cases, recurring patterns include rapid cancer progression, short-latency recurrence, reactivation of previously controlled disease, and tumors involving the injection site or nearby draining lymph nodes.

Lymphoid malignancies represent the largest category in the published case literature, while glioblastoma and pancreatic adenocarcinoma were among the cancers most consistently associated with reports of unusually rapid progression.

POPULATION EVIDENCE

The population-level evidence reinforces these clinical and mechanistic signals.

OUR CDC WONDER ANALYSIS: At least 119,130 EXCESS U.S. CANCER DEATHS, rising to approximately 153,000–197,000 after accounting for mortality displacement.

INDEPENDENT CDC WONDER ANALYSIS: 154,330 excess U.S. cancer deaths, closely matching the lower end of our corrected range.

UNITED STATES (SEER): Early-onset cancer incidence surged 6.4% in just 2 years, from 2021–2023, alongside sharp increases in brain and nervous-system tumors (+19.5%), colorectal cancer (+19.4%), small-intestine cancer (+15.5%), ovarian cancer (+12.8%), stomach cancer (+7.3%), and female breast cancer (+3.6%).

SOUTH KOREA: A nationwide cohort of 8.4 million people found vaccinated individuals had an increased 1-year cancer risk across 6 cancer types: thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and prostate cancer.

ITALY: Vaccinated residents had a 23% higher risk of cancer hospitalization, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.23 compared with unvaccinated residents.

These findings come from entirely different data streams and study designs, yet they repeatedly point toward the same concern: accelerated cancer emergence and progression following the era of widespread mRNA exposure.

mRNA ONCOLOGY DANGER

The very mRNA platform now linked in our paper to 35 oncogenic mechanisms is being repurposed to treat cancer itself.

Modern individualized mRNA cancer products encode patient-specific mutated tumor proteins and package them into RNA delivery systems designed to generate a strong immune response against those targets.

But the fundamental safety problem remains: where does that encoded antigen actually get expressed?

The platform can distribute systemically, causing vulnerable tissues including the heart and brain to express tumor-derived antigens—raising the risk of off-target immune attack, cardiac injury, and neurological damage.

Even more concerning, the LNP delivery vehicle itself promoted metastatic outgrowth in mice even without mRNA cargo, suggesting that some oncologic liabilities reside in the platform itself—not only the encoded antigen.

And now the first randomized test of individualized mRNA as monotherapy in residual cancer has FAILED. The Phase 2 BioNTech BNT122-01 trial enrolled 327 patients with molecularly confirmed residual colorectal cancer, crossed its futility boundary, and was terminated due to a mortality imbalance.

This matters enormously because these therapies are being moved into precisely the patients most vulnerable to accelerated disease: people already subjected to multiple mRNA boosters with residual cancer and genomic instability.

OUR CALL

On the combined weight of the mechanistic, clinical, and population evidence, we call for IMMEDIATE MARKET WITHDRAWAL of nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP products from broad preventive use and a halt to their expansion into adjuvant and neoadjuvant cancer treatment.

35 mechanisms. Hundreds of documented turbo cancer cases across 27 countries. Up to ~197,000 excess U.S. cancer deaths by our analysis. A failed randomized mRNA cancer trial. And the same technology is now being pushed deeper into oncology.

It’s time to END this madness.

Health Friday 9.4.2026 Open Thread: Countermeasures and Precautions: An Opinion Piece

The free vintage image of hand washing for today’s offering header is courtesy of Open Culture and Google Images. Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats by Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: AI-generated items in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

Countermeasures and Precautions: An Opinion Piece

The following is not medical advice. The following is not “SHTF prepping.” The following is not intended to instill fear. The following are ideas and opinions for consideration regarding certain “ongoing and upcoming situations.” There are several areas to consider: First area: the FDA’s recent approval of mRNA-1010 (mFLUSIVA), the first modRNA-platform based influenza bioweapon “vaccine”; Second area: the FDA’s just approving the “latest version” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” for 2026 – 2027, based only on testing performed on mice; and, Third area: the recent paper which proves that the spike protein and other ingredients of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” injections remain active in the “vaccinated” person’s body for at least 3 1/2 years post-final “vaccine” injection.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First area: the FDA’s recent approval of mRNA-1010 (mFLUSIVA): this situation has been covered extensively (and will continue to be covered) on this board; by our host, Wolf Moon, and by Yours Truly, among others who posted items related to the situation. The bottom lines of mFLUSIVA: One: this “vaccine” killed more than twice the number of clinical trial study subjects who took it, as compared to those study subjects who took the “comparator influenza” vaccine, Fluarix; Two: Moderna knows that mFLUSIVA can shed — study subjects were required sign an agreement to use birth control before, during, and after, their participation in the clinical trial; Three: mFLUSIVA was FDA-approved on “Accelerated Approval” for persons age 65 and over. Accelerated Approval means that Moderna must agree to perform a clinical trial of the “vaccine” using persons age 65 and older; Four: Moderna must also agree to track reports of deaths in persons who take mFLUSIVA. Our host, Wolf Moon, has written about mFLUSIVA; for example, here: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/08/07/a-grok-eyed-view-of-the-new-mrna-flu-shot/.

Second area: the FDA’s just granting approval for the “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” for 2026 – 2027. The bottom lines: One: the FDA granted approval for the 2026 – 2027 “latest version vaccine” by Pfizer-BioNTech based on lab testing on 8 mice; no human trials. This follows the “Option 4” protocol for formulation of new COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” that was adopted by the FDA in 2022; Two: the FDA granted approval for the 2026 – 2027 “latest version vaccine” by Moderna based on lab testing on 10 mice, again following the “Option 4” described above; Three: based on the “ruling” against HHS by Federal Judge Brian E. Murphy earlier this year, these “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” will be administered to persons from age 6 months and older. Please see: http://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-fda-approves-new-pfizer, “BREAKING: FDA Approves New Pfizer and Moderna XFG mRNA COVID-19 Shots Based on Data From Just 8 – 10 Mice”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 27 August 2026

Third area: the McCullough, et al., paper, which proves that serious adverse reactions and events can occur in COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccinated” persons at least 3.5 years after the last “vaccine” injection (https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-51c, “BREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds mRNA, SV40, and Spike Protein Can Persist in Humans for At Least 3.5 Years After COVID-19 “Vaccination””, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 9 July 2026; the paper cited is here: https://doi.org/10.18103/mra.2026.0351, “Persistence of Vaccine mRNA, Plasmid DNA, Spike Protein, and Genomic Dysregulation Over 3.5 Years Post-COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, et al.; published 31 July 2026. The bottom lines: One: these “vaccines” can, and do, have continuous negative consequences in persons who take them for years afterwards; Two: that repeated injections of these “vaccines” accumulate / aggravate / induce, continuous attack on the “vaccinated” person’s entire body and immune system; and, Three: repeated injections of these “vaccines” have the potential for accumulated damage to the entire body and the destruction of the “vaccinated” person’s immune system.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It is estimated that about 77.1% of the population of the United States has taken at least one injection of a modRNA-based COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” (https://dig.abclocal.go.com/ccg/interactives/us-vaccine-tracker/vax_us_cdc.html, “U.S. COVID-19 vaccine map by state”. It is estimated that 135.6 million persons in the United States took an influenza “vaccine” in the 2025 – 2026 season (https://www.cdc.gov/fluvaxview/dashboard/index.html.) It is unknown how many will be take mFLUSIVA; however, there are physicians actively promoting this injectable. In fact, mFLUSIVA is being promoted as the “replacement” influenza vaccine for persons age 50 and older (https://epicenter.nyc.com/what-to-know-about-the-new-mrna-flu-vaccine-for-those-over-50/, Ambar Castillo, 13 August 2026.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Where does all of the above leave the 20% – 25% of Americans who do not have COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” in their bodies? Where does that leave those who have had a COVID-19 infection, have recovered, but still may have lingering issues stemming from the infection (Long COVID; systemic inflammations of one kind or another; lung issues, and so on)? Where does that leave COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons who have decided to never take another injection of any of them? Where does this leave Americans with the 2026 – 2027 “latest version” COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines” coming on the market within weeks, coupled with the campaigns from Establishment Medicine / government agencies / employers, and other entities, to “make sure one is up-do-date” with the “latest version vaccine”? Where does this leave people who decide to not take mFLUSIVA? In Yours Truly’s opinion, it comes down to making individual decisions regarding personal (and, perhaps, family) “countermeasures and precautions” — and following them faithfully.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What would these “countermeasures and precautions” include? Perhaps, these areas to start the consideration and decision process: Countermeasures: Protocols using repurposed drugs (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine); and, Vitamins, Supplements, and Foods. For Precautions: Lifestyle Protocols / Adjustments. Each of these have ramifications that impact finances; availability; and, interactions with people. Each of these require that people “do their own due diligence” in researching the “countermeasures and precautions” that they are considering implementing for themselves (and, perhaps, for their family.)

Protocols using repurposed drugs (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine): These, in Yours Truly’s opinion, are the “core” of COVID-19 infection prevention or treatment. Independent Medical Alliance has both prevention and treatment protocols for COVID-19: https://imahealth.org/treatment-protocols/. Another protocol is found here: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/bombshell-shocker-the-cia-and-pfizer, “BOMBSHELL SHOCKER: The CIA & Pfizer LIED To The Public About The Need For Their $afe & Effective PSYOP-19 “Vaccines””, 2 September 2026; scroll down to the end of the post for “The Ultimate Disease Cure & Prophylaxis Protocol” section.

Vitamins, Supplements, and Foods: First, Vitamins and Supplements: Vitamin C and Vitamin D, for example, can help to bolster the body’s immune system. Supplements such as Zinc, Magnesium, and Quercetin help to keep the lungs clear (Zinc); to regulate many enzyme systems in the body (Magnesium); and, to increase or maintain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection (Quercetin.) Please see: regarding Zinc: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC131177/, “What does zinc do?”, Abi Berger; 9 November 2002; regarding Magnesium: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/; regarding Quercetin: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/quercetin, Ryan Raman; 7 May 2026. Many brands of multivitamins contain a more-or-less good range of vitamins and minerals; however, the amounts per vitamin or mineral may or may not satisfy the needs of the individual; in those instances, separate supplementation may be desired. Vitamin D uptake from sunshine can be done in many different and healthy ways.

Second, Foods: There is a saying, “Let food be thy medicine.” For some people, a diet that satisfies what is necessary regarding not only nutrition, but also for vitamins and minerals, may be one approach. An example for inclusion in such a diet is eggs (https://www.roswellpark.org/cancertalk/202504/are-eggs-good-you, “Are eggs good for you?”, 18 April 2025.) The “humble egg” is actually a “mini-powerhouse” of vitamins and minerals: Vitamins A — B2 — B12 — E; Lutein; Iodine; Selenium; and more; in addition to protein. Another example, this time of vegetables, is carrots (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/foods/carrots, “Nutrition and Health Benefits of Carrots”, Adda Bjarnadottir, MS, RDN (Ice), 22 July 2026. Carrots provide beta-carotene (the body converts this into Vitamin A); fiber; antioxidants; and more. Carrots also may help support eye health, among other positive effects. Of course, there is red meat: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7015455/ , “What is the role of meat in a healthy diet?”, David M Klurfeld, July 2018. In addition to its being a complete protein, red meat also provides vitamins, amino acids, zinc, and iron.

Precautions: This area includes decisions regarding interacting with others who are COVID-19 “vaccinated”; whether or not to attend large-gathering places; and, if a non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” person is living with other who are “vaccinated”, among other situations. In no way is Yours Truly advocating that non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” people become “modern-day anchorites” with little or no contact with others. However, there are things that non-“vaccinated” people can do to reduce the potential for being exposed to “vaccine” shedding; and, to the potential for being infected by the COVID-19 virus itself. Examples: using disposable gloves at the gas pump; deciding whether or not to use “contactless” payment methods, as opposed to handing a credit card to someone; if possible, sitting at the back of a large-gathering event or facility; changing clothes after returning home from a family visit or going to a large-gathering event; taking an appropriately extra amount of, for example, Vitamin D before attending such an event; taking an appropriate extra dose of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine after attending such an event; among others. Living with, or paying extended visits to, COVID-19 “vaccinated” people is another, and perhaps more difficult, area. Considerations here may be, for example, deciding to take Ivermectin on a weekly basis if a non-COVID-19 “vaccinated” person is part of a family (or, has roommates, etc.) that includes “vaccinated” people living in the same house. Please see: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, 7 January 2024.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is another, and important, area, to consider: interactions between drugs that are prescribed for particular needs, and repurposed drugs (such as, Ivermectin.) Please see: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/drug-interactions. The Cleveland Clinic defines a drug interaction as what happens when “foods, drinks, dietary supplements, other drugs, prevent medications from working as they should.” For example, Ivermectin interacts with warfarin (Coumadin), and with other drugs: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-ivermectin-oral-tablet-interactions, Ashley Wong, PharmD, Last updated 17 January 2025. Ivermectin is also known to interact with: ketoconazole (an antifungal drug); and, with ritonavir (an HIV/AIDS treatment drug: please see https://synapse.patsnap.com/article/what-is-ivermectin-used-for); with benzodiazepines; and with alcohol (increased dizziness risk.) If using Ivermectin along with warfarin, it is important to keep a check on INR levels; it may also be germane to advise the healthcare professional who prescribed the warfarin, that Ivermectin is also being taken. Readers interested in investigating the potential for drug interactions regarding prescription drugs they take; and, for more information on prescription drugs, vitamins, and supplements (minerals) may wish to visit https://www.drugs.com/, or https://www.goodrx.com/. Note: be aware that these websites (and similar ones, such as the search engine at https://www.webmd.com/) appear to be biased against, for example, Ivermectin, except for the very narrow FDA-approved uses of this drug (to treat river blindness or lice.) The FDA still does not approve of Ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is one final area to consider as a COVID-19 and/or mFLUSIVA countermeasure: regular mild to moderate exercise, at least five days a week for 20 – 30 minutes a day. If this exercise can be done in the open air, in the sunshine, there is even more benefit. And the exercise does not have to be strenuous: for example, Tai Chi sequences, practiced correctly and with using proper breathing techniques, can provide a “slow-motion” cardio workout. Just wearing a pedometer to count steps, or staying active inside the house, can help. The point is to avoid being sedentary. Please consult a health professional before starting, or increasing, an exercise program, especially if one is recovering from an illness, has certain health conditions, and so on.
