Shifting obesity into the disease column means that the 2/3 Americans in full-fledged or teetering on extreme fatness are now relieved of their personal responsibility for their own bodies. W/o that responsibility the the already weak bond between our choices, behaviors, and outcomes relating to the only semi-private property we own (our bodies) is broken and one of the final steps in eliminating liberty in exchange for the illusion of comfort and security falls into place. Big pharm, big Agro, big oil, big finance, and on an on is nothing more than the other half of the equation in terms of shifting responsibility. They are the oppressors; we the victim.

Mark Flowers is a true dedicated Christian but a non denominational and non church going Christian, a praying man upon his knees and he gives all credit to his survival to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as his savoir and protector of him and his loved ones. Mark has to continually break all curses in Jesus Christ’s name, sent by witch craft and the Satanic agenda.<br /><br />2. Mark Flowers is a fighter, a man that will never bow to any evil corruption, to DEATH.<br /> <br />3. Mark Flowers has had the fatherhood of his children stolen by the masons / system / The Australian Government.<br /> <br />4. Mark Flowers is a survivor of more than a decade of intense murderous Freemasonry Gang Stalking {a term he coined} and raised in the Federal Magistrates Court Parramatter Sydney Australia in 2009 & 2010 whilst defending his rights to father his children.<br /> <br />5. Mark Flowers has had so many attempts on his life in the process of Freemasonry gangstalking that they are too numerous to list, most have been whilst driving in road traffic accident setups by gangstalkers . But all manner of threats have come against Mark Flowers, One time a sour mason wielding a hammer at Mark’s head got a lesson in respect and kicked off Mark’s property. The police always fail to follow such death threats against Mark Flowers.<br /> <br />6. Mark Flowers has self-represented in some 60 appearances in the Federal Magistrates Court, the District Court and the Supreme Court in Australia and all with nil formal education, in fact Mark left school at 14 years and first job was in a lumber yard.<br /> <br />7. Mark Flowers is a Father first, and a former children’s safety film producer, but the dogs of gangstalking were released on him for doing so. Mark has been fighting ever since and will never give in, as the eternity in spirit and fear of God through Christ Jesus motivates him to be fearless against evil.<br /> <br />If I fall in this good fight it will be into the arms of my saviour Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Brother Mark <br /><br />http://www.markflowers.org/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-20058593944794180582013-06-27T23:50:16.390-07:002013-06-27T23:50:16.390-07:00FYI: Once you're on a maintenance prescription...<b><i>FYI: Once you're on a maintenance prescription, if you DON'T refill it, THAT gets logged by your insurance, doctors, etc. How long before you're denied insurance and/or your rates go up if you don't follow your doctor's orders?

He tried drugs and diet changes like cutting out this and that, nothing had much success. He would have a huge battle with the disease at least twice a year, sometimes life threatening. About two years ago he started the Paleo diet and he hasn't had an "episode" since. Feels 100% normal. Major diet changes can be successful. This dude sticks to his diet and NEVER cheats. <br /><br />I'm on a low dose (50mg) of anti-depressants. I battle with anxiety, runaway thinking, and occasional depression. I've been thinking about going off of them, but I don't know that diet is going to provide me with any relief since it's based on brain chemistry and my family has a long history of f-ed up brain chemistry. I've got a good life, great marriage (thanks red pill), and three little kids, so my risk appetite isn't high. Don't wanna screw things up by going off my meds, but my faith in God creeps in and tells me that I may be cheating in a test God's given me to trust in Him for help.

The current issue (July 2013) is about The Big Fat Lie (processed vegetable fats) and collusion with the medical industry, and reads like many of your posts here. The author (James Dale Davidson) has written about this and related subjects (corporatocracy, promotion of consumerism, vested interests, etc.) in the past as well, and this letter in particular is IMO good enough to be passed on as a primer to get a person interested in starting to investigate things on their own.BCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-34894098633602104382013-06-27T05:21:15.542-07:002013-06-27T05:21:15.542-07:00I strongly suggest learning what herbs and vitamin...I strongly suggest learning what herbs and vitamins will do for your health: just recently, my Crohns' disease kicked in hard after decades of remission because of the stress of taking care of my elderly mother and her bat-shit craziness; in order to cure the outbreak, I obtained Ginger extract w/honey, turmeric capsules, and American Ginseng: within an half hour the symptoms subsided and within three days I was free of any pain. The Big Pharma alternative is prednisone or some dangerous drug.<br /><br />What I would like to know is just what is the nature of high blood pressure: is it an actual disease or symptom of one; or, is it a natural fluctuation of the human body as it cycles through the day and a natural process of aging?dienwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878081733638742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-26183722337486656282013-06-27T04:45:21.628-07:002013-06-27T04:45:21.628-07:00I'm troubled by the pill-popping that goes on ...I'm troubled by the pill-popping that goes on all over. <br /><br />I had a bout of PPD, mild but enough to get me pretty down most days.`I couldn't get a handle on the household right away and felt like a complete mess for a few months. I made the mistake of bringing it up to my doctor. Her solution? Xanax for stress, an anti-depressant to keep my moods "stable" and some meds to keep my "gastritis" in check (I had horrible stomach pain every time I ate).<br /><br />I never filled the scrips. I told her it wasn't meds I needed, just some help with three very young babies and some sleep! She said there was no prescription for that, and take the pills and do the best I can to manage my day. <br /><br />THIS IS THE STANDARD ADVICE PEOPLE ARE GETTING. Absent community bonds, you have no hope to manage any difficult mental or physical health situation. Taking it into your own hands often means going the no-work route of taking pills. But I cannot sympathize with people who choose to become Rx addicts rather than investigate alternatives and make changes.<br /><br />Changing my diet helped trememndously. I eat real food, keep it gluten-free (doc laughed at me when I asked for testing, so I did my own elim/intro trial 3x and confirmed a sensitivity, so it's out), and get exercise. PPD and anxiety completely gone, house is in good working order. MAJOR POINT: life is not easy, it never is 100% of the time and never will be. I think that is the greatest thing people will have to realize. Life is hard. It has moments of happiness, but even happiness takes work to achieve. A pill can efface that fact, but never erase it.<br /><br />Re Obesity as a disease, though, I wonder if for a minority of the population this is not true, that obesity itself is not a symptom but an actual disorder that has little to do with what is being eaten but how the body perceives feeding. I think you know Wooo from RN's place, maybe not. But she described her obesity (kept in check over 10 years with strict ketogenic diet) as a problem of her body growing new fat cells rather than accessing stored body fat. No matter what or how she eats, her body would rather grow new adipocytes than use what is stored in the adipose tissue she already has. She knows that despite her VLC diet, she will likely have to get surgery to remove excess fatty tissue that her body grows even though it has no need for it. That's a chronic disordered state of the body, which sounds like disease to me. I know this does not apply to everyone who is merely overweight, but it can be used as a starting point for a clinical diagnosis versus just the Rx to ELMM.Cranberrynoreply@blogger.com
