I've found that taking the following really helps me not to get sick: 10,000-20,000 IU Vitamin D3 (Works best if you also take Vitamin K2 and Magnesium. The K2 puts calcium in your bones and teeth instead of letting D3 put it in your soft tissue. Magnesium activates the D3. All 3 work with Calcium, which I take as well). If you are getting lots of sunlight you might make do with 5,000 IU, but most people, especially in the winter, get very little sunlight and therefore don't make Vitamin D. If your levels are low, a loading dose of 30,000 IU for a week can quickly raise your levels. Most doctors aim for blood levels of 30-80 ng/ml, but that is because of a misunderstanding. When testing for overdoses, it was found that a person could overedose at 300 ng/ml (and that was without K2, so probably could go higher with K2). The researcher then arbitrarily recommended <100 ng/ml. Doctors then saw 100 ng/ml as the danger level and started recommending 30 ng/ml (barely above level for ricketts). Natural doctors have recently raised their recommendations to 50-80 ng/ml, but that is probably still low. I recommend blood levels of 80-120 ng/ml, but I've gotten just over 150 ng/ml and that was the most illness resistant I've been. If you regularly take more than 10,000 IU, it is a good idea to get a blood test because different people absorb it differently. 15-30 mg of Zinc (You need Quercetin or another Zinc ionophore to get it into your cells. Also, high zinc can hurt copper metabolism, so taking a little copper is good. I take Zinc Balance that has both in the right proportions.) 1500-3000 mg of Vitamin C split into 3-4 doses throughout the day because it is water soluble and doesn't stick around too long. 500 mg 3x/day is pretty good. Optimally, increase doses until you get loose stools and then reduce by 500 mg. You may need more than usual when you are sick. Either using a neti pot nightly or using Xlear nasal spray 1-2x/day can also clear out viruses from your nasal passages before they have time to get established. Daily is best, but using one of them the moment you get a hint of sniffle or tickle in the back of the throat can work, if you truly use them the moment you might have a hint of something. It is less effective if you wait until you are actually sick. This routine has helped me to almost never get sick. I started in 2020 because of Covid and continued because it stopped everything else as well.

It really isn't, but people who don't want to accept a higher authority like to overlook all of the logic and evidence supporting it. The supposed "science" used to "debunk" Christianity requires greater faith and greater suspension of logic than does believing the Bible literally.

Yes, our experience can be spiritual or intangible, but God is not the author of confusion. When His word is written, it is logical and a literal and physical thing is not a parallel to a spiritual and intangible thing. When reading/writing something, it makes more sense that both pieces are meant in the same manner. If you can make it mean whatever you want, then it doesn't mean anything at all.

Thanks. I've opened a tab and I'll take a look at it as soon as I get time.

I have a difficult question for my fellow Christians. After Satan tempted Adam and Eve to sin, God spoke to Satan: “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.” (Genesis 3:15) The woman’s seed is Jesus, who is a physical descendant of Eve through Mary. I had always taken Satan’s seed to be people who rejected God, but if Jesus fulfilled literally and physically the prophecy of Eve’s seed. Is the seed of Satan a literal and physical descendant of Satan? Could this refer to the Antichrist and could it indicate that the Antichrist is a nephilim? I don’t know the answer, but I do take God’s Word seriously, even when that is uncomfortable and contrary to what I believe or what I want to believe. #grownostr #biblestr #christianity #Bible

I see it, but from what I see, I have zero idea how to use it to read or to write.

Me too. I like black tea, green tea, and white tea. I like lots of kinds of herbal tea. I actually make 6 travel mugs of different teas (many mixed myself and all but one loose leaf) every morning, I ran out of travel mugs, so I also make a regular mug of tea and mug of coffee to go with all of that. I then drink them throughout the day. When people see my line of tea mugs, they think I am some strange tea lady. I guess I am.

I agree that some of what ICE is doing (or maybe more how they are doing it) is bad, but when they are doxed and tracked and followed and attacked, it creates a war like environment that makes both sides get more aggressive. I don't know how to stop the escalation. I don't like the Feds getting more and more war like, but I also don't think the protestors' actions can be allowed. There is also strong evidence that they are being aided and funded by high level democrats and foreign nations. I wish there was an easy answer. Giving in isn't acceptable. Going full tyrant isn't acceptable. I don't know what is the best answer. We need to have a little grace.

There is a decent chance your swiss chard will come back. I have had it survive through our Wyoming winters, where plenty of nights go below 0 F. They were planted along a south facing brick wall, but I still think they survived incredibly low temperatures.

I prefer my feed on jumblel.social , but it won't let me reply (or selectively blocks my replies. I'm not positive which). I can interact with people on jumble.imwald.eu, but many of the people I usually interact with don't show up, so I don't like my feed as much. I had the best feed on Coracle, but it stopped working. Maybe I need to try it again. I love the people on nostr. I love the premise of nostr. I get frustrated that every time I get comfortable with a client, it starts having problems or totally stops working.

What kind of jobs are these kids applying for? I own a business and other than one or two (over 25 years) 16 year olds getting their first job, I don't know of any parents being involved in any way and they didn't show up for an interview.

I'd guess higher.

I can relate. I also know almost exactly where things are and can find things in the dark. My husband thinks it is uncanny. I can find something in the dark that he can't find with the lights on.

It isn't something you can get quickly, but Shaklee Basic-H diluted, does wonders for removing skunk spray and makes your dog's coat shiny. (Ask me how I know😝) It is worth keeping on hand. It is also a non-toxic cleaner that works well.

If you say I adhere to the Bible, that is true. The Bible is the word of God and I interpret everything based on what it says. Yes, occasionally an outside source can illuminate the culture of the time and make something clearer, but the Bible should be interpreted by the Bible. Extra-biblical sources are not equal to the Bible. I also believe God is able to maintain His word and make sure we know which books are cannon and which are not. When we give anything outside the Bible equal authority or higher authority, we are in error because God doesn't make mistakes and He is able to maintain His word. You bring up some interesting points, but when you equate God or Jesus with angels, you are so far off from truth that I fear for your soul.

I thank everyone who has chimed in on my question. I think it is good for believers to have friendly debate on difficult topics.

I know the idea I brought up isn't commonly considered, but I think it is less that it doesn't fit the text, and more that it is uncomfortable and hard to explain. We humans tend to dismiss things that are either uncomfortable or incomprehensible.
