Hi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied.... I’m like a traveler who is immune to montezumas revenge bc I grew up drinking less pure water - I’ve digested so much stuff in this category that my epistemically immune system is really active and I hardly even notice a lot of the bullshit until I consider whether or not to... prayers at a buddhist monastery
a while back a very close friend of mine had a very serious health issue. Through our network, we had a lot of acquaintances and some friends at Buddhist monastery. They prayed for her every single day, despite 95% of them having never met my friend.... - BardDjinn...

Hello. I never know what to write in this kinda of things. About me…I’m a diamond onion - many multifaceted layers. The basics: humanitarian, Bard, cat mom, clinical herbalist, musician, vocalist, CRPS warrior, GenX, outspoken advocate for the planet and marginalized communities,... I don’t understand why we can’t get health and ecology into alignment. It seems like there’s a ton of room to figure out how to best make food that’s good for us that can feed everybody that makes the soil healthy.... - renee...
Right! I like this. Many other things have priority until I learn how serious these are…then I may change the order. I’m reading headlines where Drs are saying things like headphones are frying brains.... Yes, love all of this In physical medicine this is obvious, because the different parts of the body are widely recognized. I think this is huge. Not just wrt to development, but I think because it's invisible, we have a dramatically impoverished map of psychic anatomy, illness,... - hlandez...
- onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byMinnie...

Public Money, Private Priorities, and Open Borders of Control
Government mistakes turn into seizure threats while tax dollars bankroll absurd programs and elite gatherings. Advanced AI systems escape controls and demand kill switches as new eye implants restore sight and flying cameras track license plates from the sky.... - Elephina...

Yes, able to function for the most part. A little problem with balance off I stand to long without a prop. Able to walk to walk for essential shopping and other basics. Can lift, haven't tried to establish how much. Married, Three kids and two grandsons.... - Satinleader...
Placebo effect vs. pseudoscience in health
Placebos can be effective especially to find out if a treatment actually is effective or not, or if the idea of the treatment is just as effective as the actual treatment.... Yeah, I think that's a small part of the motivation for now, but I think there's a much more devious, larger plan for them. I should also add in case I'm on to something, while I'm not in good health, I have no desire to leave this Earth yet.... I have to fully disagree with you. Mindset does not stop degenerative joint disease or the nerve damage that was caused by being raised next to Rocky Flats while it was open. Mindset doesn't allow you to be paid the same as a male when you're female....
