Health Friday Open Thread: Holiday Exchange Edition 12.20.2024

The above free image of a Christmas gift exchange is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series of posts related to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. The discussion is not limited to what is presented today: It is an Open Thread.

There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications, the Rules of the our late, good Wheatie, and certain caveats by Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here.

Today’s Health Friday is a Holiday Exchange for ideas, recipes, “life hacks”, “this is what my grandmother did when the family had a cold”, exercise hints, and so on, related to building and maintaining sound general health and a strong immune system. Advice and information from readers regarding items from Western medicine, Homeopathy, Naturopathic Medicine, Herbal medicines, Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, folk and traditional medicine, “Let thy food be thy medicine” recipes, personal experiences, “these are what I take on a daily basis”, books and articles, and the like — all are welcome. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, come on over by the Christmas tree, and let’s exchange health ideas gifts!

To start the exchange rolling, Yours Truly provides the following:

My Aunt Mary’s Daily Tonic

Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar; 1 Tablespoon honey; 2 teaspoons lemon juice; a sprinkle of cinnamon; 1/3 cup very hot (not boiling) water.

Method: Muddle the apple cider vinegar, the honey, the lemon juice, and the cinnamon in a glass. Add the very hot water and stir gently. Drink as soon as it cools down just a little. (Please don’t “quaff” the mixture — take it in sips. I think cider vinegar tonic is tough to take all at once!)

My late Aunt Mary drank this tonic for decades. She believed that it “cleaned the intestines.” Well, it must have been beneficial for her — she lived to be 96 years old. I will say that I change the amounts of the first three ingredients when I prepare the mixture to: 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar; 2 teaspoons honey; 1 teaspoon lemon juice (the cinnamon amount and the water amount remain the same.) I suspect that this tonic is / was, probably used by many other people, and is known by various names. My Aunt Mary also used a fabulous, easy recipe for baked salmon and peas (her mother was from County Mayo), which I remember eating but I don’t have the recipe. She firmly believed that eating salmon could cure or prevent many diseases.

Yours Truly sends warm Holiday Greetings to one and all. Here’s to healthy, strong New Year 2025!

Interesting tonic recipe. The only one I know of is stronger, with Becherovka herbal liqueur + lemon juice + honey. It helps to calm a cough, and the herbs might have a healing effect.

It’s funny that you mention “emergency formula” from Dr. Spock. There are so many things that people have forgotten how to do.

One that comes to mind is ORT, for which some back information is necessary. I happened upon it when hearing of some backwater where cholera killed hundreds of people……except…..cholera actually doesn’t kill people — it causes dehydration, which kills people. So long as you can maintain hydration while your body’s immune system rallies around and eliminates the pathogen, it’s survivable.

Which leads to Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) [ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy ]. It contains salt, sugar, potassium salt, and sodium citrate, and may be available in premixed packets.

TheseTruths

Looks similar to Gatorade. I’ve seen recipes for a homemade version.

TINA PETERS CATCHES A BREAK

Tina’s misdemeanor contempt conviction has been vacated (aka “shit-canned”) on appeal.

Thus corrupt kangaroo court Judge Barrett (who gave Tina 9 years in prison) must re-sentence.

And Tina gets another try at getting out on bond pending appeal.

Congress should have been run like this all along:

1.Thomas Massie:

This isn’t complicated.

Separate the bills and vote on them individually.

one vote on the clean CR

one vote on the debt limit

one vote on disaster relief

one vote on farm bailouts

Radical right? Individual bills for each issue.

2.Ian Jaeger:

BREAKING: Rep. Tim Burchett is introducing legislation that every amendment will have the name of the sponsor in it, so the American people know who is behind the bills being introduced in Congress.

Thank you Congressman!

JUST IN: The President of Mexico just said she is “ready to accept” illegally migrants deported by President Trump

ENDLESS winning!

This comes just days after President Trump threatened Mexico with MASSIVE tariffs on their goods should they not comply.

Trump is still over 30 days from taking office and he’s already making HUGE strides in solving the illegal migrant crisis. Amazing.

pgroup2

DJT should tell all those NGOs that “helped” the invaders get into America that they better fund those same invaders on their return trips to where they came from.

While Mexico has responsibility, it’s the misuse of our tax money that got all those invaders to the border and so it is only proper that our tax money should be used to help them get home. Mexico can’t afford to fund repatriating them all.

IMO

TheseTruths

I hate to think of more of our money being used for this, but I know it is necessary.

This made me curious about how NGOs are funded. They get government money through grants, some foreign money, some donations, etc. IMO those who funded the NGOs that are aiding and abetting illegals should pay for their removal from the country.

McToon (glober who is now a legend for screaming “Where are the GUNS, Nathan?!?!”) makes many important points about flat earthism. It’s an epistemic disaster.

And another from Will Duffy (who threw this all together).

He too calls out the Flat Earth community for many things including wilful blindness, and shifting the goal posts.

TheseTruths

I’m part of the way in. Will Duffy says “hard no” on The Final Experiment II. I can’t imagine why there would be a need to do it again.

I like that he shares what the experience was like, including the fatigue, the difficulties they had to deal with, and the many preparations they made for all contingencies (in a prior video). Also, how hard it is to deal with constant sun.

He also says that theories are going to be debunked over the coming weeks. He shares what flerfers had said before TFE and what they are saying now. It is textbook cognitive rigidity.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I have been maintaining that people like Dave Weiss (Flat EarthDave) and Eric Dubay (who produces those “200 proofs” vidies) know it’s bullshit. They’re conmen.

The followers, on the other hand…cognitive rigidity.

Let’s shut it down until January 20th.

Then Trump can decide what to start up again.

My mom, who is 93, once told me that my grandmother used cod liver oil and castor oil as remedies. If they had a cold or flu, it was cod liver oil. I have no idea if it works. Castor oil packs were for aches and pains. And lo and behold, a lot of people in my cancer group use castor oil packs for detox and pain. I’ve noticed that Amazon even has special wraps they sell for castor oil packs:

Yesterday afternoon we posted about Putin’s challenge to a duel. He told the West and Ukraine to put all your air defense weapons in Kiev and he’d fire his hypersonic wpn there and the West could try to stop it.

Here’s a clip of him talking about it.

Flash forward to right now.

BREAKING:

Russian forces launched a fresh wave of attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kiev.

Reports indicate that multiple critical infrastructure sites and warehouses were targeted.

Russia used both ballistic and hypersonic missiles.

Apparently part of a duel.
Russia shot down 84 Ukrainian drones overnight Thursday.

Between these drone, ATACMS and Kirillov I would be PO’ed too.

This was Russia’s retaliation for Ukraine’s use of ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles on Russia’s Rostov region.

# BREAKING: BIDEN RUSHED TO THE WHITE HOUSE LATE IN THE EVENING

Biden was sent to the White House tonight even though he was scheduled to be in Delaware.

LOOK AT HIS FACE.

This guy looks terrified.
Something BIG is happening.

https://twitter.com/HustleBitch_/status/1869972926918734304

TheseTruths

At one point he looks as if he’s about to cry, but with his condition I don’t know how much importance to place on that.

From the link below;

Meanwhile, Biden was escorted back to the White House after spending time in Wilmington, Delaware, where he attended a memorial service for his late ex-wife and daughter.

That might explain the somber expression.

What’s Going On? Kamala Harris Cancels California Trip as Biden Rushes Back to D.C. Amid Government Shutdown

Kamala Harris abruptly canceled her planned trip to Los Angeles late Thursday, opting instead to remain in Washington, D.C., as Joe Biden unexpectedly returned to the White House.

The sudden change in schedules has fueled speculation about a growing crisis in the Biden regime as it faces mounting challenges, including the possibility of a government shutdown.

Kamala, who was scheduled to depart from Washington at 9:15 PM ET for a late-night arrival in Los Angeles, canceled her trip midday without providing specifics.

The White House issued a terse press release confirming her decision, stating only that Kamala would stay in Washington to receive briefings and hold internal meetings, all closed to the press.

Would a possible government shutdown cause them both to return to the WH?

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

We know government shutdowns are a nothingburger. So no, I think it’s something else. We might not ever know what.

TheseTruths

My thoughts exactly.

para59r

Putin did a four hour press conference yesterday. Said a lot of stuff. Included the challenge to duel with missels.

Ukraine later fired on Russia with ATTCM’s. We likely knew about it is my guess and the Pentagon likely got the evil duo to return to the WH.

Maybe Putin will take out Biden’s Delaware Beach house.

Tonight’s OKGO videos are a couple of non-sponsored ones (I think)…..which is not to say that there are no “commercial” tie-ins. The first is at a girls’ school in Japan. Before the song gets rolling, the band is prepped by a popular Japanese girl group named “Perfume”.

The widgets that they are riding have instructions that say, “keep a good grip on the unit at all times.” Obviously, they meant “do complicated choreography with your hands in the air while waving umbrellas around.”

cthulhu

Definite shades of Busby Berkeley in that last one [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busby_Berkeley ].

This next one is one of their most popular.

And their “making-of” is amazing…..if you start in the middle (the beginning is fun, too — but you have to see it starting in the middle, first).

You will note that they got well into three digits of takes…..until…..

Let me explain the debt ceiling to you since it’s pretty clear most of you have no idea what is going on.

As of now, there is no debt ceiling.

Let me repeat that for all of those “true conservative” supporters. As of right now, there is no debt ceiling.

The debt ceiling was suspended back in Jun of 2023.

As things stand now, as of Jan 1st, 2025, the debt ceiling will return, and it will be whatever it was when it was suspended plus whatever spending Biden and the dems did since June of 2023. That new debt ceiling is estimated to be hit by June of 2025 if not earlier.

What the CR wanted to do is push the redemption of the debt ceiling back for 2 years.

This would allow massive tax cuts that Trump wants to make. Things like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime, a 15% tax bracket for companies who built here, and to stop the Trump tax cuts from expiring.

You see, the government idiots consider tax cuts as government spending. So if you do $4 trillion in tax cuts, the government considers that $ 4 trillion in spending.

The debt ceiling redemption on Jan 1st will make Trump have to figure out how to pass the tax cuts without going over the debt ceiling and triggering a default. Do you get it now?

By not moving the non-existent debt ceiling back two more years, the “true conservatives” just stopped you from getting more of your money returned to you by tax cuts and they kept more money in the government for a bigger gov. In effect, they just voted for the exact opposite of what they tell you they want and don’t for a second think they don’t know that.
