I don’t believe in the Covid vaccine. I don’t trust it. There are horror stories of people who have taken them. I believe it helped stop the pandemic but the CDC and WHO were complicit with Dr. Faucci in forcing it on the population — if someone wants to endure the symptoms of Covid, let him. Even now the coverup has not been fully disclosed. Pfizer, Moderna were not yet fully tested. The standard Clinical Trial was made on the global population. They discredited the effectiveness of alternative cures (like Ivermectin) and silenced opposing medical research.

I believe in immunization. That’s one of the reasons I intentionally got infected with Covid.

Raoul, I hope I misinterpreted what you wrote. I felt you suggested that you don’t believe in immunizations. Do you have any idea how many children would be crippled or dead if the polio vaccine hadn’t been developed.? And the death rate was rising steadily until a Covid vaccine was developed. Thank God! At my age, I really don’t think I would have made it when I had Covid if I hadn’t been immunized.

In reply to Noel.

How interesting. Philippine chiropractors have no formal training. They just know what to do. Here they need to go to 4 years of studies. I think their approach is more scientific.

If I were younger I’d like to learn how to do that so I can go to the poor areas and help the poor. In my province in Mindanao, there is only one chiropractor I know in that area and he’s French or British. He charges $50 per session. His office is in the mall that’s why his overhead must be high.

Growing up there was also a healer we used to go to. I sprained both my ankles 2x. A few years ago, when I was still able to play basketball, my teammate passed the ball to me too strong and too close. The ball hit my little finger so hard that the 2nd joint dislocated and went on top of the base. I stared at it and knew the pain wasn’t there yet but it was coming soon. So I pulled my finger and shot it back into place. I didn’t use a popsicle stick to keep it steady but instead used a pork rib. So when my finger healed it was bent like a rib instead of straight.

I don’t know any boy who did not get a sprain or hurt himself growing up. We were all macho.

I used to think that chiropractors were witch doctors until I had a problem with vein that is right behind sciatica. I had three tune-ups and the pain was gone. I was a believer. If I overdo I can go in for a 20 minute session and the pain is gone.

I noticed the Stylistics lyrics. Betcha By Golly Wow? Dating yourself my friend. Young folks won’t get something from the 70’s. I’m seeing a chiropractor too in Brea. I think it has helped my lower back. Because of my wife, I have had a lot of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Not convinced about that. I’m skeptical of a lot of Western medicine. When I was young, I had so many infections. Before my tonsils were removed in 1964, I was very sick. Not that I remember much.

I remember the ice cream they gave me after my tonsils were taken out. I was told by my mother that I couldn’t taste before my tonsils were removed. Every picture of me from that time shows I was skin and bones thin. You wouldn’t know that now.

I am happy the chiropractor is helping her. Glad also about your wrist and other ailments.

Long email my alternative guru.

Hi Raoul,

Talking about alternative medicine, there was this hilot place in Bo Kapitolyo Pasig that we usded to go to.When it closed, and transferred elsewhere, we had one of them do house visits 3 times a week for my mother who is bedridden.Does wonders to our Mom, though she cannot tell us about it now. When she was more “talkative”, she looked forward to those visits.

In my own personal experience, there were times it was painful to walk, my lower back, legs, etc. Maybe too much badminton or golf or what not.After one or two sessions with the hilot, good as new na. My sister and brother swear by it.. Just thinking how much money she could make if she went there? But this hilot and her group all go to Mt Makiling to re charge every so often..Meron kaya Mt Makiling dyan? LOL!!!
