This article provides additional evidence supporting my hypothesis that demyelination may be a reason behind the staggering increase in Sudden Cardiac Deaths.
I had suspected that it was a neuro toxin - infection and injection. I felt as if I had Parkinson's for over a year. Has subsided... I have done nothing out of the ordinary treatment wise - NAC and weekly IVM might be helping? Thanks for all you share!
You're welcome. I'm going to have to look at adding those to my regime. It's felt like zMS to me but I've kept pushing it to the back of my mind. Good that your Parkinsons-like Sx have subsided!
I should add that I also took B1 daily for a long time! I was told that Parkinson's starts in the liver (Chinese medicine practitioner). So could help to cleanse. I believe putting it to the back of your mind has served you well. What we focus on blossoms.
From North Carolina, via the Wuhan lab and there's not enough evidence that it "leaked." It's at least equally , and possibly more, plausible that it was "released."
"This is obvious and goes without saying – why were we so repeatedly reassured that SARS-CoV-2 was, overall, a “mild respiratory” disease?"
Absolutely! I suspect that there is a huge number of people out there, possibly everyone who was infected, who are developing MS after contracting "covid." This should perhaps be most apparent in those who caught it early. Many people are ignoring their symptoms, or bewildered by them, and when they report them to their medical practitioner, if indeed they do, he or she doesn't know what to make of those symptoms either.
Population-wide I do not doubt this. But I would remind individuals (myself included) that this is not a certainty or an inevitability. And to continue to take the best care of themselves, banishing worry.
I followed the link in your reply to me on Paul's stack here to Walter's and read his article and the study it links to. All informative, interesting and sensible. As well as read the comments, including your others. I felt as if I were inadvertently eavesdropping and just wanted to say I hope you're okay.
Thank you Kathleen. That is very kind of you to say. I appreciate it. Yes you are absolutely correct. it's good to be reminded that it's not a certainty or inevitability and it's important for people to take good care of themselves and to have only a healthy rational concern rather than to catastrophize and worry.
Being, all of us, imperfect fallible creatures, we humans can all fall into the trap of using a narcissistic or authoritarian epistemology, sometimes believing our thoughts without questioning them or believing them because it's what an authority believes, instead of doing some (but not too much) self reflection based on a logical and empirical epistemology, in which the evidence in favor of the thought outweighs the evidence against.
A good starting point: Is this an opinion or a fact? Then, various of the following: Am I making a "fortune telling error" by treating my mere opinion about what could happen, but may not, as if it was an established fact? What are the odds? Are they one in two, one in five, one in 100, one in 1,000, one in 10,000 etc? Is there another way of looking at this? Have I ever come to a similar conclusion prematurely before and then found I was wrong? Well, yes, so could I be doing it again? etc, etc
What's the worst that could happen, and could I survive it, and if not how would that be awful? Few things in life are truly awful.
As quoted years ago about the late Albert Ellis, a very imperfect man (in some ways like the philosopher Seneca), who was diagnosed with diabetes at age 40 and lived into his 90s, was speaking " ... about the 'bad things' that happened to him during his childhood, in the Bronx, and about how they led to his early experiments in rational thinking." "During a ten-month hospitalization for nephritis, which he got when he was four and a half, he eased his anxiety and loneliness by telling himself, 'If I die, I die—fuck it—it’s not the end of the world.' "
There is a book I have, published in 2019, that I've been meaning to read "How to Think Like A Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius " by Donald Robertson.
It would not, I have little doubt, surpass Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" but it may still be of help in these troubling times.
Anyway, thank you again. I'm okay. I hope you're okay too.
Hi, ANW ~ This seems to be a good out-of-the-way spot to contact you since it's where you recommended a book to me that arrived earlier this month, the day after our inspiring exchange over the flirtation between Leonard Cohen and a lovestruck fan. I still think about that provocative back-and-forth we had...
Please forgive me for taking so long to offer you my impressions of the intriguing movie you thoughtfully shared with me. There are so many reasons why I've been distracted and there have been so many times I've begun to write yet had to address another immediate demand on my time... These past few weeks have been unusually busy and I wanted to give Dogville the attention it deserves, mostly because it meant so much to me that you were interested to know what I thought of one of your favorite movies. And because it gave me the chance to learn more about your tastes.
At some point I'd be very interested in your own thoughts about the movie since a man's perspective may be quite different from mine and it would be fascinating to compare them. I should say that I tend to project myself into the role of a movie's leading lady (or the heroine of a novel, or even the "beautiful blonde" in your brief memoir about an interrupted passionate moment at a Christmas party). So, my reactions to the movie were both immediate, as if I were the character herself, and evocative, calling to mind my own memories, both happy and crushing -- although not in a literal way. (I have experienced devastating betrayal but fortunately have never been sexually assaulted.)
Before watching, I looked up the cast and director. I tried to avoid the film critics, not wanting to spoil the movie for myself but I'm glad I got the distinct message that the story would be challenging to watch, so I could brace myself. Because the plot was so engrossing and so naturally and convincingly acted, it was only a matter of minutes before I easily adapted to the sparse setting and the narrator's guidance.
Because she is exceptionally talented, it was easy to identify with Nicole Kidman's character as a desperate woman escaping a mysterious danger and her developing love born of gratitude for the delicately handsome man who appears to have 'rescued' her. Unfortunately, despite his strong attraction to her, he seems incapable of true love, his main interest in her from the outset being as the vehicle to fulfill his aspirations to importance by embodying the "illustration" he sought to use to instruct his fellow villagers on morality. It was not long before I began to despise him.
Even though it was difficult to watch as Grace acquiesced to each of Tom's more and more outrageous expectations, it seemed obvious she believed it was less demeaning than the circumstances she had escaped from. (I imagine what she endured may be an example of Stockholm syndrome.) Nevertheless she conducted herself with such dignity and friendship toward the suspicious and unkind neighbors that I could not help but be happy for her when she had at last won them over during that lovely period of the movie when we saw how her presence and assistance had made life better and more enjoyable for each of them. Things fell apart as Tom fell to temptations of power and greed. He might easily have secretly run away with her and been happy together as a result of her gentle kindness and honest feelings for him but he was too weak and self-involved to understand that. She was, after all, 'out of his league' and seemed to deserve much more from a man.
I feel as though I could write at least a paragraph about her relationships with each of the characters and how von Trier's script so accurately depicts human nature, as all good fiction writing does.
I was not at all familiar with director Lars von Trier and was a little nervous about whether he might treat the actress Nicole disrespectfully by making her endure physically abusive treatment or vulgar physical exposure on screen but I never believed you would have suggested I watch such a movie. And I discovered his treatment of even the more distressing scenes was sensitive.
I did find the last part a bit confusing since it was unclear how much Grace’s father could have known about what she had suffered in Dogville to result in the punitive massacre. I also didn't understand how her father could have found her ‘arrogant,’ except that she was a much different person in his presence. (I'm not sure how von Trier would define 'arrogance.')
I would like to see the movie again with these questions in mind and to experience again its unique, very observant depiction of human interaction and motivation. I'd also like to explore the religious undertones and was, a short time ago, reading about the prophet Jeremiah after noticing one of the units of the 'floor plan' of the town was labeled "House of Jeremiah," if I recall correctly. I can’t help thinking It would be nice to see the movie with you and talk about it afterward.
As an aside, I don't actually know anyone else who would have seen this movie or who could have recommended it to me nor do I know anyone who might watch more than 5 or 10 minutes of it. It's not the passive entertainment most people seek. It begs for engagement and reflection, something I enjoy, as it touches upon the gamut of interpersonal relationships among widely different characters. So...thank you very much for suggesting it to me and recognizing something about me that caused you to share it. I hope you'll have a chance to let me know your own thoughts about Dogville. I'd love to hear them. ~ K
Thank you for your thoughtful response to my inquiry as to what you thought of "Dogville." This in indeed a good out-of-the-way spot. I hope you find the book worthwhile. I understand that you would have many demands on your time. You have done nothing wrong that I need to forgive you for. I appreciate that you have taken the trouble to reply. I do hope that all is well with you.
I regret that there were distressing scenes in "Dogville," which deals with the confronting subject of evil, and, insofar as you have explained that you tend to project yourself into the role of the leading lady in a film, particularly regret, that the increasingly vile and cruel acts perpetrated against Grace by the inhabitants of the town included sexual assault.
"Grace" was an excellent name for the leading lady. "Tom" was a most unfortunate choice of name for the male lead. I identified with Grace, although not to the extent of feeling any attraction to - I am not gay - or having any feelings for Tom, other than disgust. I empathized with Grace. Tom proved to be a loathsome character.
The entire town betrayed Grace and treated her cruelly, callously and exploitative and Tom's betrayal of her was particularly vile.
The destruction of the figurines that she had collected was one, among several scenes, that was particularly upsetting for me. As it progressed, the filth evoked a growing sense of injustice and feelings of anger.
One of the reasons why Dogville was polarizing when first released is that many saw the town as a metaphor for America. Others saw it as a metaphor for humanity.
Stockholm Syndrome is a good description for what happens to Grace. I had not thought of that but I like the description. Grace also to some extent is a Christ-like figure. At least in the early part of the film, she represents goodness and kindness.She turns the other cheek repeatedly and is abused for it.
It's been said that "the final act, where Dogville gets its just desserts, can be viewed as a metaphor for this Final Judgement and God's wrath acted upon the wicked ..."
If I recall correctly, when Grace's mob boss father arrived, his beloved daughter, whom he had gone to great lengths to try to locate, was chained like a dog. That, to me, explained his vengeful reaction. I identified a little bit with Grace's father, as well as with her. She had been on the run from him because she was heir to the mob business and did not want to work in it or take it over.
With regard to Grace's father describing her as "arrogant," the following passage is from a review, with which I largely agree, at the link below.
"As Grace's gangster father remarks in the final scene of Dogville, you disrespect your fellow man if you forgive him for everything, if you fail to hold him responsible and instead ascribe to him the benevolence of good intentions, a benevolence that you are well aware cannot even be attributed to yourself - this is arrogance. It is arrogant to assume that other people are simply unable to behave in a decent manner and, consequently, to not react to their disgusting conduct (you cannot blame a dog for biting). From an ethical point of view, we must let the critical boundary we feel between respectful and degrading behavior be known when we experience its transgression. We show a lack of respect if we put up with other people's villainy. We have to react to deceit, injustice, exploitation, fraud, and so on. Otherwise we do not truly respect one another."
The meaning of the film is open to interpretation. It is certainly a very thought provoking morality tale.
Again, I apologize for some of what the film depicted. I regret that. did not want you to experience anything hurtful.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and sharing your impressions with me. I appreciate that very much. I had looked forward to you doing so. I find you very intelligent and articulate and value your thoughts and in reading what you have written I think I get at least a small sense of the 'flavor' of your personality and I like it and enjoy that.
The Political Philosophy of a Dogville; On "Dogville" by Lars von Trier
I wanted to get back to you in a timely way after receiving your very much appreciated and anticipated reply. Thank you for the well-wishes. I hope all is well with you, too.
No harm at all done in my experiencing indirectly the evil and emotional cruelty of the movie. Have no regrets for recommending it to me - my reactions, though teary, were transformative rather than detrimental. I'm the better off for having seen it and owe that to you, especially after having read your follow up remarks and your citation of the film critic's clarification of the plot resolution. It was especially helpful and gratifying to recognize the truthfulness of his interpretation of 'arrogance' as it applies to the movie -- and to real life. I'm grateful for your sharing feelings of disgust, injustice, and anger, which I also experienced.
It was good, even comforting, to hear of your identifying with Grace and to a certain extent, her father. Everything I've seen of your commentary and our exchanges reveals your own impressive intelligence, tenderness, cleverness, wide range of interests and definite masculinity such that you'd never have had to add that you're not gay. I had no doubt about that. And I noticed and loved the way you referred back to what I'd written about "the chance to learn more about your tastes" in your closing sentence.
It's bedtime here where it continues to be an unusually cold, snowy, and beautiful New Hampshire winter in the forested outskirts of a small town. It was very nice to hear from you today as I look forward with happiness to my birthday tomorrow, having received your lovely reply. ~ K
Are you researching other potential harm vectors of the vaccine: like lipid nanoparticles, DNA plasmids or SV40? Or do you think it's only the vaccine spike protein causing long-term (hopefully not permanent) damage? Per your research on internal 3rd degree burns of the endothelium from spike protein. I've seen SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (blood test) increase but then go down after a period time- is this a relevant test to assess healing? Thanks.
I appreciate your thoughts and direction. I am constantly reminding folks that this construct was created to do damage. Don’t minimize the potential for damage.
Great article. Your theory looks like it is panning out. Thankfully, humans are very diverse in how resilient so many are, so what devastates or kills one my not be an issue for others. As always, good advice in the comments, too.
Thank you for your research the world needs more souls like you. This information dovetails with Michael Nehls, author of the indoctrinated brain indicating the spike protein directly attacks the hippocampus. He found lithium orotate helps regenerate the hippocampus, and it turns out it might help this problem as well: "lithium pretreatment at therapeutically relevant doses not only abolishes the onset of EAE but also greatly reduces demyelination"
Neuroprotective action of lithium in disorders of the central nervous system
4 Years post-"JAB" (Pfizer: EN6200 & ER8734, both proven to be HIGHLY TOXIC!) - No Booster. Had multiple VAX INJURIES (none are life threatening).
Since 2018, Prostate CANCER patient - doing "Active Surveillance."
9 months after starting DETOX - had next scheduled Biopsy: CANCER FREE!!! - PSA of 2.
I FAITHFULLY TAKE THE WCH DETOX + MORE (High Doses of IVERMECTIN & HCQ).
Just had SARS COV 2 ANTIBODIES lab work. >2,500 (the Top of the Range: NO SURPRISE).
Just had COMPLETE HEART & LUNG Testing done (Echocardiogram, Treadmill - EVERYTHING!) Just had all AVAILABLE BLOOD / LAB WORK done. ALL IS BEYOND PERFECT!!! (Thank you, Jesus!)
KEY QUESTION or DISCOVERY: Considering that there is no longer ANY EVIDENCE of my CANCER - & I still have no life-threatening symptoms ... is it possible to MAX OUT on the SPIKE ANTIBODIES lab work scale - >2,500 - but the DETOX PROTOCOL be Inhibiting & Neutralizing it as quickly as it is produced ... giving me a SUSTAINABLE WAY to EFFECTIVELY FIGHT / DEFEAT the LIFE ENDING / TERMINAL Events?!?!
I had suspected that it was a neuro toxin - infection and injection. I felt as if I had Parkinson's for over a year. Has subsided... I have done nothing out of the ordinary treatment wise - NAC and weekly IVM might be helping? Thanks for all you share!
You're welcome. I'm going to have to look at adding those to my regime. It's felt like zMS to me but I've kept pushing it to the back of my mind. Good that your Parkinsons-like Sx have subsided!

Silymarin/ milk thistle may help too.
While this virus may be from the Wuhan Lab, I'm not sure you're giving enough credit to Dr. Baric's "contributions".
From North Carolina, via the Wuhan lab and there's not enough evidence that it "leaked." It's at least equally , and possibly more, plausible that it was "released."
boom, I love it...released...I think 100% released...no wet market no lab leak...intentional multiple location release.
Could the demyelination have anything to do with Elton John’s loss of eyesight in one eye, and Adele’s loss of hearing?
"This is obvious and goes without saying – why were we so repeatedly reassured that SARS-CoV-2 was, overall, a “mild respiratory” disease?"

He found lithium orotate helps regenerate the hippocampus, and it turns out it might help this problem as well: "lithium pretreatment at therapeutically relevant doses not only abolishes the onset of EAE but also greatly reduces demyelination"

That's why we need you, Walter!
4 Years post-"JAB" (Pfizer: EN6200 & ER8734, both proven to be HIGHLY TOXIC!) - No Booster. Had multiple VAX INJURIES (none are life threatening).
Since 2018, Prostate CANCER patient - doing "Active Surveillance."
9 months after starting DETOX - had next scheduled Biopsy: CANCER FREE!!! - PSA of 2.
I FAITHFULLY TAKE THE WCH DETOX + MORE (High Doses of IVERMECTIN & HCQ).
Just had SARS COV 2 ANTIBODIES lab work. >2,500 (the Top of the Range: NO SURPRISE).
Just had COMPLETE HEART & LUNG Testing done (Echocardiogram, Treadmill - EVERYTHING!) Just had all AVAILABLE BLOOD / LAB WORK done. ALL IS BEYOND PERFECT!!! (Thank you, Jesus!)
KEY QUESTION or DISCOVERY: Considering that there is no longer ANY EVIDENCE of my CANCER - & I still have no life-threatening symptoms ... is it possible to MAX OUT on the SPIKE ANTIBODIES lab work scale - >2,500 - but the DETOX PROTOCOL be Inhibiting & Neutralizing it as quickly as it is produced ... giving me a SUSTAINABLE WAY to EFFECTIVELY FIGHT / DEFEAT the LIFE ENDING / TERMINAL Events?!?!
