My pastor preached about Noah recently. In the course of his sermon, he pointed out that eight people believed God was going to send a worldwide flood. Every other person on the planet thought Noah was a doofus. (“Doofus” is my word, not my pastor’s.)
Noah and his family labored on the ark 100 years. And, as they worked, Noah undoubtedly explained to his neighbors and anyone who would listen, that his ark was going to be the only place of safety when the raindrops began to fall.
I don’t know how many thousands or millions of people were alive in those days. But all of them apparently scoffed at the idea of such a flood. Noah and his family were vastly outnumbered.
Then one day, it began to rain…
Another Situation
Okay, maybe you’re one of those people who believes the story of Noah is a myth. The world was never flooded. The ark never existed. And the animals never marched to safety, two by two.
So let’s talk about another situation.
In the United States, from its birth until the Civil War, slavery was legal. Many Whites believed Blacks were inferior. In fact, the despicable lie that Blacks weren’t even human became a justification for the continuation of slavery.
Obviously, the whole country could believe Blacks were subhuman, and that wouldn’t revoke their humanity. Yet the lie persisted.
At the time, there was a general acceptance of the idea that the ability to produce literature was proof of humanity. In a day when even white women were not encouraged to learn how to read and write, a young, black slave woman named Phyllis Wheatley became a published poet.
Here is a beautiful, inspiring example of her work:
On Being Brought from Africa to America
T’was mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their colour is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.
Wheatley’s poem is amazing, not only for its beauty, but for its rare wisdom. Instead of bitterly and justly accusing Whites of abducting her from her home and forcing her into slavery, she accepted her lot in life and found a benefit in it. An eternal benefit, by the way.
Of course, bigots and racists denied that Wheatley was the poet. Truth got in the way of their pre-conceived notions and their objectives. So they closed their eyes tight and pretended it didn’t happen.
The lie that Blacks were subhuman was not as universally accepted as rejection of a Flood in Noah’s day, but it had a vast number of supporters. Supporters who were actually willing to fight a war in order to protect their delusion.
And Now We Come To…
…COVID.
This bioweapon from China has all but taken over the world. It has ruined economies, separated families, and closed schools. It has monopolized the news. And it has created chronic, profound panic in many people.
It’s that panic I want to address. If you’re going to live in fear, at least understand what you have to be afraid of. It’s not the virus that’s SO dangerous. It’s the sinister powers who are manipulating the pandemic for political gain and/or financial gain.
Did you notice…
…what happened to Noah’s contemporaries who did not believe a Flood was coming? They drowned.
…what happened to the slave owners in the last half of the nineteenth century? They lost a bloody civil war (and many family members) and had to endure the indignities of Reconstruction.
In other words, it’s dangerous to believe a lie. One of the dangerous lies in 2022 is that there’s no good treatment for COVID.
Are you aware that physicians who provide safe, effective treatment for the coronavirus are being ridiculed and even denied hospital privileges in some areas? Meanwhile, doctors who deny the effectiveness of effective therapies don’t seem to care how many of their patients die. Tragic!
My goals in this blog are to 1) make you aware that many national news sources are lying to you and 2) provide valid health information. Information that can save your life.
Prevention and Early Treatment
First, I will share my VERY limited experience. It was probably in the summer of 2020 that I began taking supplements to support my immune system. These included vitamin D3, vitamin C, zinc, Quercetin, and selenium. I am a teacher, over 70 years old, surrounded daily by students and school staff. Many of these students and staff have had COVID.
So far, if I’ve had it, I didn’t know it. In other words, prevention is possible.
I must comment on vitamin D. Over the months I have heard and/or read statements to the effect that vitamin D is critical in preventing/treating COVID. According to one report, a medical doctor said that in every death he had witnessed, the patient’s vitamin D level was too low. So, be sure you’re getting plenty of vitamin D from supplements and/or sunlight.
One other thing stands out to me. Attacking the virus early before it gets a grip on you is strategic. And you don’t need a prescription for this first line of defense. Use an anti-viral oral/nasal rinse as soon as you’re exposed. It seems the virus is replicating in the nasal tissues, and you can stop it in its tracks with this approach. (See the COVID-19 Quick Reference Guide referenced below for details.)
What To Do
I, frankly, wasn’t very impressed with the pandemic (aka “planned-demic”) until I realized how hard it was to find a doctor who would actually offer effective treatment. So, one of the things you should do, if COVID frightens you, is locate a physician willing to treat you with drugs like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, monoclonal antibodies, and Budesonide, BEFORE you need him or her. These physicians seem to be few and far between, but early treatment is crucial. You don’t want to spend those critical early days hunting for help.
As I said earlier, my experience with the vicious virus is limited. So, I’m going to direct you to some resources where you can get some honest information. Some of this info could literally be life-saving for you or someone you love.
First, here are three places where you can find solid information about physicians and/or treatment:
COVID-19 Quick Reference Guide
Early Treatment Options (Includes a DIY early-treatment kit)
Frontline Doctors COVID Treatment
Second, for some scary stories about the reality of health care in the pandemic, here are the videos from two weekend “Understanding the Times” programs:
COVID Chaos: Conspiracy or Reality – Part One
COVID Chaos: Conspiracy or Reality – Part Two
Third, here’s a wealth of legal suggestions, in case someone is trying to force you to take the so-called “vaccination”:
Covid Legal Options
Fourth, here are some general news sources I’ve found to be reliable. (I NEVER listen to news from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.)
Olive Tree Ministries (home of “Understanding the Times” weekend programs)
One America News Network
Association of Mature American Citizens
Best of health to you. May the Lord bless you and your family as you navigate these difficult days.
