NICK HUDSON: You can know with absolute certainty that you are dealing with a scam when dissent is suppressed

Please retweet so that people can grasp the basic rule - of how to deal with today's elite-funded feudal scam system: https://t.co/tvmwBIceaP pic.twitter.com/NYDhEsXdNB
00:00. Do you think there is a [parallel] because between both COVID and climate change?
00:08. Yes. Let's take a step back. The general rule of thumb that I believe everybody should adopt is that if any problem is being presented as a global crisis, then it is a scam. And the pattern that we are confronted with is really the fabrication of global crisis, the presentation either of non-existent problems or small local problems as being general global crises. That fabrication followed by the assertion that the only solutions that are permissible are global ones that require a global authority, global control, that is the general pattern that we are up against. The COVID policy response was one of those. Look at what happened to countries like Sweden or Tanzania, who tried to push back against the orthodoxy, the new orthodoxy. And the climate crisis, the climate change crisis, is another example, where we are told that the biggest threat to the world is this molecule, CO2, and that an increase in the level of the molecule will cause an increase in temperature, and that that temperature increase will be bad for us. And that's the only thing we can do is consume fewer fossil fuels and less energy. That's fitting the pattern exactly. The other things you can observe is instead of presenting science as an ongoing, evolving activity, it is presented in terms of static knowledge, consensus, and you see the cancellation and censorship of dissident voices rather than engagement with them. These patterns are proof of a scam. That is what people need to understand. Whenever something is presented as "the science," as a consensus, it is a scam. You do not have to go and get engaged in all of the minutiae of the scientific principles and the models and the measurements at all. You can know with absolute certainty that you are dealing with a scam when dissent is suppressed.

@NaturallyFTW says Host Defense brand is good.
Anything from Host Defense brand is good. FYI you can also open the capsules & mix with food, juice, smoothie etc.
Okay, for cancer, Mesima, which contains mycelium, is better than Lion's Mane. @NaturallyFTW explains,
By looking at over a hundred studies.There are compounds in the mycelium that aren’t in the fruiting body, & more potent. In Asia where they use mushrooms for cancer care, they use mycelium. If you look closely you’ll see that the people telling you to get the fruiting body are only talking about the beta glucan content & not anything else.
@NaturallyFTW explains that,
The mushroom is known by many names: Mesima, Black Hoof mushroom, or Phellinus Linteus. P. Linteus has been shown to powerfully enhance Natural Killer cell activity (they seek out & kill cancer). It works for Cancer likely via by boosting the immune system, so that the body can "take care of" the cancer on its own. • CASE REPORT 1: a 79-year-old man had advanced LIVER CANCER with multiple Lung Tumors that "spontaneously regressed" after taking Phellinus Linteus (Mesima) mushroom. He was on NO other treatment. After 6 months, the "tumors appeared to be in complete regression" & remained in regression. Advanced Liver Cancer is "incurable."• CASE REPORT 2: A 68-yr-old man w/aggressive PROSTATE CANCER & multiple tumors in his bone & bladder began taking Phellinus Linteus mushroom (Mesima) after his doctors had exhausted all other options. "Suddenly" he experienced "DRAMATIC REMISSION" of his cancer. Afterward he remained healthy, w/normal PSA readings. Advanced Prostate Cancer is "incurable."
• CASE REPORT 3: A 65-yr-old man, who had drank at least 7 drinks of alcohol per day alcohol for 30 years, had tumors on his liver & a Huge BRAIN TUMOR. The man "refused all recommended treatment & was discharged." He wasn't expected to survive. He began taking Phellinus Linteus mushroom (Mesima). After 10 months he felt very well & a scan revealed ALL of his tumors had shrunk Dramatically. Without treatment, his type of cancer is usually "fatal within a few months."
Some sources report that about 35 years ago, Phellinus Linteus mushroom was studied in Japan & it was reported that "it had the HIGHEST ANTI-TUMOR EFFECT AMONG ALL MUSHROOMS." The mushroom has also Dramatically reduced Many types of tumors in vivo in animal studies. In vitro & animal studies have shown P. Linteus has strong activity against: breast, colon, liver, lung, oral, prostate, & skin cancers. It's also been shown to help human pancreatic cancer patients.
Amazingly, Phellinus Linteus mushroom has additionally been shown to have POWERFUL antioxidant & anti-inflammatory benefits, with impressive effects on diseases such as: • Diabetes • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Allergies • Even H5N1 influenza virus!
Incredible Safety Profile: animal studies suggest the mushroom is likely to be extremely safe, even at massive doses. Human studies have also shown it to be very safe & usually without side effects.

00:00. How could something like this be cancer-causing, and it's precisely the fact that it can actually get into the cells in the first place. So can you explain that process, what would make this cancer-causing, if indeed it were found to be, because, for example, we are seeing this higher incidence of the so-called turbo cancers and rare cancers appearing in people post-rollout of these genetic vaccines? There's a signal there that people are wondering about.
00:33. So Bob Weinberg does a lot of work in this space. [See a list below.] He's kind of written the book on viral integration into the genome causing cancer. Many tumors, will actually, if you survey their sequence, you will find SV40 DNA sequence in there, from SV40 viruses and also from other viruses. So viruses are known oftentimes to integrate into your genome and disrupt it, which can lead to this genome instability that can then create a cell line that kind of grows out of control. The concern here is if this DNA integrates into the genome, one portion of the SV40 sequence that's in there is an SV40 promoter, it's a very strong promoter, which means it drives transcription wherever it lands in the genome, if this happens to drop itself in front of a proto-oncogene and drives a lot of expression of a gene that's known to, if you hyper express it, turn the cell cancerous, then we have a concern that that DNA is, in fact, doing that. So there are two concerns: there are promoters in this vaccine from SV40 and there is a 72 Ace Cash

SUZANNE HUMPHRIES: Nature didn't leave out vitamin K from babies, and that until babies are 6 months old they're not actually having a full coagulation, normal coagulation, so there's a reason
afterward in most societies that [umbilical] cord is clamped right away, which is a problem because you're not only leaving behind up to 40% of that baby's blood that belongs to that baby, but you're also leaving behind stem cells, which have the potential to go in and clear up any of the problems that happened in the brain or elsewhere. Now if you thicken the blood, what is it, 2000 times more or something like that, then how is that going to affect the ability for those stem cells to go where they need to go? --Suzanne Humphries
Dr. Suzanne Humphries discusses Vitamin K given to newborns. 2014.
— Jessica Rojas 🇺🇸💪 (@catsscareme2021) September 25, 2023
A must listen. pic.twitter.com/6TeVKDI0NQ
00:08. What is your opinion on vitamin K being administered to newborns?
00:14. My opinion is that the more I read about vitamin K, the more I can't believe that it is injected into newborn infants. My scientific endeavors have really shown me that by and large nature overall didn't make mistakes like this. Nature didn't leave out vitamin K from babies, and that until babies are 6 months old they're not actually having a full coagulation, normal coagulation, so there's a reason . . . just like babies are programmed to be anti-inflammatory, I believe that babies are programmed to not have numerously higher levels of coagulation than adults. If you look at the coagulation, the supposed deficits, that a baby has, it's not just the vitamin K factors. So I would suggest that you read a lot about it and consider . . . if you feel better about giving it, then only give the drops. But most people I know, who understand the difference, don't give any at all. And if you do give it, maybe it would just be maybe if there was an extremely traumatic birth.
01:34. But you have to understand some of the things that medical interventions do at birth. For instance, when the baby is born what happens is that it's a very tight passageway, as we all know, and so the baby is squeezed very tightly. The brain, I'm sorry, the cranium is made so that it can compact in on itself. The brain is squeezed. There's trauma all throughout the body. About 30% of babies will have micro hemorrhages from a normal delivery. Now afterward in most societies that cord is clamped right away, which is a problem because you're not only leaving behind up to 40% of that baby's blood that belongs to that baby, but you're also leaving behind stem cells, which have the potential to go in and clear up any of the problems that happened in the brain or elsewhere. Now if you thicken the blood, what is it, 2000 times more or something like that, then how is that going to affect the ability for those stem cells to go where they need to go? When you have these vitamin K factors, those areas that bleed tend to clot and it's a little harder to clear that out than if you just leave it that way. The concern is always the minority, this vastly small percentage of children who can develop an inter-cranial hemorrhage and it can be problematic. We are now treating everybody for this problem. So I think it's important to understand the full spectrum before agreeing to the injection, and it should be your personal decision that you feel comfortable with AFTER knowing what there is to be known about vitamin K, which I believe in the USA has been given since 1970s something like that, but before that, we weren't giving it.
03:29. The other thing is that if the baby's clotting is not full until 6 months of age, how long is your injection going to work for? So it's not completely logical [to give] a huge injection on the first day of life. Is it going to protect them over the long term? But I think that it's always a good idea for mothers to consume lots of greens during, the entire pregnancy if possible, because not only do you get vitamin K that can be delivered to the baby in normal amounts if they need it, but you're also getting folic acid, magnesium, and lots of other minerals that are required to build a baby.

The Chief Herbalist recommends the pencil plant to eliminate skin tags, comparing skin tags to warts. If skin tags are the equivalent of warts, why not use Compound W on them? Chief Herbalist doesn't provide any proof that the pencil plant is the remedy. I would say that the insulin resistance theory best accords with their presence.

Plascencia Gómez, M.E. Vega Memije, M. Torres Tamayo, A.A. Rodríguez Carreón, Science Direct, March 2014.
Results
In total, 109 patients (95 adults and 13 children, 83.5% female) were studied. The mean (SD) age was 38 (14) years and the mean body mass index was 39.6 ± 8 kg/m2. The skin conditions observed were acanthosis nigricans (AN) (in 97% of patients), skin tags (77%), keratosis pilaris (42%), and plantar hyperkeratosis (38%). Statistically significant associations were found between degree of obesity and AN (P = .003), skin tags (P = .001), and plantar hyperkeratosis. Number of skin tags, AN neck severity score, and AN distribution were significantly and independently associated with insulin levels.
Conclusions
AN and skin tags should be considered clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia in nondiabetic, obese patients.

It is amazing how young couples when first starting out in their respective careers, that one of the perks they love to brag about is the benefit package from their company. "Oh, we've got 100% coverage. No deductibles." I mean this is more important than the salaries in a lot of cases. And I get it. Most young people go without insurance with the exception maybe of emergency care, and they're so glad that they finally get to be tested for that minor but aching and nagging problem they had in their foot. So they go to the doctor, they get tested, the doctor recommends procedures, and the young person doesn't know how to negotiate their own healthcare. They learn of course, but at what cost?
What people do learn is that the industry does not have your best health in mind. Ever. Hospitals are like abattoirs, where the very young and very old go to die. Yet, parents will take their very young and their very old parents to the hospital . . . to die. As an industry, we've not come very far from the 19th and 18th century gruesome experiments. Part of that has to do with censorship. One example is the germ versus the terrain theory. All of modern medicine operates on the germ theory, that viruses are contagious.
But what about vaccination history, from flu shots to polio shots to tetanus shots. How could it be that we view remnants of a dead virus as some kind of mystical miracle of healing? Easy, treat all of medicine as mystical and incomprehensible. What we get in our benefits package is an invitation to a witch doctor, oh, witch doctors with tons of confidence because of the low liability on their part that comes with the monetary rewards from the same companies, the insurance companies. We are living under a 3rd Reich of medicine.
Doctors rely on what scientists play with or discover or don't discover and then cover it with some kind of crazy theory. And doctors follow whatever scientists advance. In 1911, scientists tried proving the contagion theory of viruses by injecting the blood of a diseased monkey into healthy monkeys. But the monkey would not develop the same disease. Yes, they'd develop a fever and inflammation, which is an immune response to a foreign protein, but they would not develop the disease. Yet we've been made to believe for decades if not centuries that if we're around someone with a cold we too will get that cold. But immune systems are different, some are stronger than others. This is why a medical card should be shown to people important to you.

So far, the expeiment is a failure, but they blame either the rhesus monkey not being a good candidate or the virus is of low virulence. At no time do they ever think that maybe "viruses" are not the cause of sickness. This is bias, still alive in many virologists today.
