SAVE YOUR SANITY AND LIVE A GOOD LIFE IN 2025

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.  - Henry Adams

Some recommendations, empirically based, for your sanity and good life in 2025. 

And none of them expensive nor difficult.

1. It's possible to practically prevent chronic disease and if already afflicted to reverse at least some aspects of the disease. How? Eat. For particulars buy and master 'Good Energy' by Casey Means, MD and her brother Calley (published 2024). This book, not a fad diet manual rather a path to long-term metabolic health, outlines, in plain language, basic menu and exercise protocols to realize health and fitness. It works! I will attest to realizing complete control over an incurable, progressive, chronic disease acquired through no fault of my own. Medicines playing no role whatsoever. Food, exercise, and discipline the wonder remedy. 

2. Medical care is not the care of my youth. The doctor of my youth who knew patient, family, history, etc., does not exist. If so, rare. Time is money. If a doctor today spends 10 minutes with a patient, who's basically a stranger, that's nearly twice the national average time. Never take a medicine just because a doctor describes it as a "therapy." Listen to the counsel, of course. Then do your homework always asking the obvious questions. And the not-so-obvious. Why? Insurance companies and pharm have corrupted healthcare. To point, for a borderline cholesterol number a statin recommended as meeting parameters of an algorithm. "Doctor, who wrote the algorithm?" Puzzled look. "I'll tell you who wrote the algorithm - the company who makes the statin. So, all things considered, no thank you." This is a non-compensated recommendation: Buy an annual subscription to the Tucker Carlson Network. The present rate of $72.00 worth every cent. Tucker is regularly airing lengthy, not edited facts and truth interviews addressing topics that matter in your (and your family's) life. The last three sit-downs released during the past couple weeks with Jenner Furst (Covid), Aaron Siri (Vaccines), and Brigham Buhler (Health Insurance industry) eye-opening and angering. This is information - deliberately not covered and even suppressed - not available through legacy media. In short, get informed. 

3. Law and Order. Never ever, under any circumstances (partaking in crime, innocently witnessing crime, or overhearing about commission of crime), talk to police. Exercise your right of silence and consult with legal counsel. Years ago I was elected jury foreman for a double defendant felony burglary case. I left that experience confident that at least jury selection seemed a fair process. I'm not nearly as confident about what goes on to get someone accused to court. At present I'm reading the non-fiction 'FRAMED' by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey (published 2024). Each author presents five cases of innocent citizens who believed they were doing the right thing talking (without benefit of attorney) to police and ended up being arrested, charged, tried, found guilty and either confined for life or sent to death row. Police officers, lawyers, forensic "experts," and judges corrupt. It takes years of absurd bureaucracy to free the innocent. Think something so preposterous could not happen to you? So did they! Think again. 

Enough, though there's always so much more.  

Sixteen years and two months ago I started this forum with aim of giving the effort a six months go of it. 

Still I feel personal necessity and civic duty. 

This the closing commentary of 2024. 

Thanks for tuning in, occasional notes (I even enjoy the angry readers), and generous contributions (appreciated more than words can capture - they make publishing possible).  

We'll see how - with words and paintbrush - 2025 goes.

Oh yes, I practice, doggedly, what I preach. 

Happy New Year!
