It’s like the same idea of treating an infection with antibiotics. After a while the body adapts to the antibiotics and the bacteria get stronger. ( in my opinion ) Having said that I did get vaccinated.

That is a well known case, he proved that stomach ulcers were caused by a bacteria not stress. It is the way stomach ulcers are treated these days as I understand it. The information is not hidden

Do you mean helicobacter pilori? That is a cause of acid reflux and ulcers in affected individuals and they do test for it. Unfortunately I tested negative for that.
One thing that did help me is antihistamines. Even though the H2 and H1 receptors are different , H1 antagonists relieved my acid reflux. It was only an experiment in my case (that happened to work) but if you look into the research, allergies and reflux go hand in hand in some sufferers.
It’s easy to knock medication but antihistamines are medicines too, made by big pharma, but they save lives of so many on a daily basis. They have, (combined with corticosteroids), saved mine on more than one occasion. They also have side effects. So does an adrenaline injection, so do antibiotics that are used to treat helicobacter pilori.
Life is such a dangerous business but sometimes you have take a risk to carry on living it.

It’s funny how you can’t find this quoted anywhere on the internet. Perhaps that’s why it says “edited” and probably why the language is so pseudo intellectual yet shouty and street. why is it a photograph?
Also namedropping hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin is fake news. She didn’t say that. She is quoted as saying some things against the vaccine, but not in these words and not quite this message. Most of the hoo ha about her speech was related to fertility.

No doubt conventional drugs save lives but there are many tried and true holistic methods that have been around for centuries that might not work as quickly but don’t come with a list of side effects.
For instance there are many safer, holistic ways to treat helicobacter pylori than using antibiotics.
There are holistic ways of treating anything however none of them are quick fixes.
Acid reflux is a sign of poor digestion and not enough healthy gut bacteria also. After all, our gut bacteria is probably one of the most crucial areas for us to take care of before serious illness sets in.
In my opinion conventional medicine is crucial for emergencies otherwise preventive medicine works just fine. ( in my opinion )

Heartburn can be caused by other medications such as those given to people with heart failure .
These damage the entrance to the stomach and cause infections which lead to acid reflux .
So many people are on these medications which are the standard treatment after a heart attack many people get acid reflux . Omeprazole is taken by about one in four people n the developed world.
The heart medicine keeps more people alive who would be dead otherwise . .

I don’t think I would like to take ivermectin which is commonly used as an anti parasite medication for livestock.
Btw It kills collie dogs they have a genetic mutation which means they cannot tolerate ivermectin.

If this Janci Lindsey is right then perhaps we should be encouraging more vaccination. She claims the vaccine will lead to serilisation of females due to it. Won’t that reduce population pressures on the ecology of our planet?
Quite an interesting read. Won’t concern any of us though. I’m alright Jack

Scientists/Doctors contradict each other about vaccinations. We can choose which ones to believe depending on what we thought about it in the first place.

I am for both - natural remedies and conventional medicine when needed.
Antibiotics are derived from modified natural substances. We just abuse them by feeding them to animals as routine.
Simple antiseptic saves lives. You can make your own but it’s easier to buy a tube or bottle that is made in a sterile environment and doesn’t go off for years.
Heartburn can also kill when it turns into barrett’s oesophagus. A friend died from oesophageal cancer. His wife was trying to cure it with natural remedies. We have another friend with Barrett’s. He hates omeprazole but doubt he would be alive without it. His whole lifestyle is holistic vegan etc. But this one thing he can’t fix naturally and has been hospitalised before.
Stress is to blame in part but also that we were not designed to live as long as we are living. But medicine is keeping people alive way beyond their natural lifespan.

Great points Annie.
I am also for both. Reading over my post, I don’t think I made that clear.
I’m completely with you in thinking antibiotics are used too often. Antibiotics save lives. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them. Unfortunately many doctors started prescribing them for ear aches, colds, viruses, sinuses infections, acne etc., when other less powerful medicine could have been used.
Antibiotics kills of bad bacteria. This part is great. Unfortunately they also kill off good bacteria which is essential for a healthy immune system so taking them often can do a lot of damage.
Vaccines definitely work and if I didn’t believe in them I wouldn’t have been vaccinated. Now in Canada, they aren’t just listing the new cases of Covid but adding how many were vaccinated and how many weren’t. 75% of cases are from unvaccinated people.
And I also think vaccinations should be compulsory for those dealing with the public. People have the right to know that the people they are doing business have done their part in protecting others. Gone are the days where people’s personal freedoms come first.
Stress, for sure is a big part of the problem as well as the food we eat to the lifestyles we choose but we weren’t meant to live this long. Very good point. Luckily now we have nursing homes where we can continue living without any cognitive awareness so others can profit from us. Obvious sarcasm.
The irony of life - every solution, every step forward by humanity brings it’s own problems. We have discovered how to extend human life but it all comes at a cost.
Plus after a certain point in complexity, the human mind opts for a simple explanation. They know that the efficacy of any medicine is hit and miss and they also know that they do not understand quite how medicine works for some people but causes problems in others. But like most complex problems the answer is to ignore the issues and focus on the overall benefits. I guess it’s part of our human survival of the group over the individual mentality.
Perhaps if engineers were creating the medicines they would work for all?
One thing about that Janci Lindsay is that she is not a rabid unqualified antivaxxer. She holds a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology.
If you didn’t read her submission to the CDC there appears to be a lot of science behind it (which I didn’t understand) but which definitely seems worth reading.
As I say there is no need for us to worry but you might worry about your children or grandchildren or you might think it a great result for the planet.
what crap,i been on acid reflux probs way be fore covid,stop reading into crap reports by whom?,ogf,your an anti vacer,so it fits in to what you believe
I didn’t think she was talking about all Covid vaccines just one type? Anyway there is absolutely nothing official anywhere confirming her assertions other than edited paraphrasing on anti vaccine sites. The sites confirm that the comments are edited yet people ignore that. The image seems to be from a reddit forum source.
Did you read her submission to the CDC?
Hi
Basically no.
Mutations are a fact of life with any Corona Virus, they can mutate both ways, to become more dangerous or to mutate to something less dangerous.
