An End to Upside Down Medicine: Contagion, Viruses, and Vaccines—and Why Consciousness Is Needed for a New Paradigm of Health by. Mark Gober…….

In An End to Upside Down Medicine, Mark Gober dives into fundamental beliefs about health and disease.

These beliefs are so fundamental, in fact, that most of us probably haven’t thought to question them.

For example, do bacteria cause disease, or are they part of the body's cleanup crew that appears at the scene of an underlying toxicity or injury?

Do researchers follow the scientific method when they claim to isolate viruses and show that they cause disease in their hosts?

How are studies conducted that allegedly demonstrate the transmission of germs from sick people to healthy people?

How do long-term health outcomes differ between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations?

In addition to exploring these essential questions, Gober goes a layer deeper by examining the nature of consciousness.

He argues that we can’t fully understand health and disease without first understanding who and what we are—and he contends that modern medicine totally misses the mark.

The unfortunate reality is that we live in a chronically sick society. And, as COVID-19 has demonstrated, illness can be weaponized to control the population and take away rights.

If we want to be free, both individually and collectively, we need to get medicine right. This book couldn’t have come at a more important time.

Real Confidence vs. Fake……

Fake confidence is loud, performative, seeks external validation, and uses bravado to hide insecurity, often by putting others down; real confidence is quiet, grounded, stems from internal self-worth, makes others feel secure, and doesn't need to boast because it's secure in its own value, allowing for humility and vulnerability.

Fake confidence is about appearing good, while real confidence is about being good and secure with oneself, regardless of others' opinions.

Fake Confidence:

Driven by Insecurity: Fears being found out, needs constant praise.

Loud & Boastful: Brags, name-drops, exaggerates achievements.

Seeks Validation: Relies on external praise and approval to feel good.

Puts Others Down: Belittles, judges, or steamrolls people to feel superior.

Inconsistent: Situational; falters without an audience or validation.

Performance-Based: Focuses on looking good (e.g., expensive items) rather than inner substance.

Real Confidence:

Grounded in Self-Worth: Knows inherent value, doesn't need to prove it.

Quiet & Steady: Calm, assured presence; doesn't need to dominate.

Seeks Connection: Makes others feel safe, listens, respects everyone.

Humble & Vulnerable: Can admit mistakes, joke about themselves, accepts imperfection.

Consistent: Unflappable, self-reliant, not dependent on external opinions.

Action-Oriented: Actions speak louder; focused on contribution, not just appearance

How to Spot the Difference:

Observe Actions: Does the person build others up or tear them down? Do they own their mistakes or deflect blame?

Check for Neediness: Do they constantly need reassurance, or are they comfortable in silence?

Look at Relationships: Do they choose respectful partners or those who demean them?

Gauge Reactions: Real confidence invites, fake confidence intimidates or demands attention.

Confidence doesn't come from you standing over people but from within you.A real confident person treats everyone the same.Speaker: Chase HughesFull podcast:...

Emotional Withdrawal & Individuation…..

Emotional withdrawal is often a part of individuation, Carl Jung's process of becoming a unique, whole self, involving stepping back from family/societal expectations (emotional detachment) to develop an inner center, but healthy individuation balances this inner work with connection, while unhealthy withdrawal can become isolating detachment or a coping mechanism (like flight/freeze) from relationship struggles, requiring integration to find true selfhood.

Individuation & Withdrawal: The Connection:

Separation for Wholeness: Individuation means becoming distinct from primary caregivers, requiring a healthy emotional separation (detachment from projections and expectations) to build your own identity, not becoming selfish.

Sacred Solitude: Jung described a necessary, often lonely, period of withdrawal as "sacred solitude," a time to reclaim your true self away from the collective unconscious and dysfunction.

Unhealthy Withdrawal (Detachment): This differs from individuation; it's a lack of emotional involvement, indifference, or numbness, often a symptom of underdeveloped selfhood or trauma.

Withdrawal as a Sign: When you stop being emotionally available, it can force others (and yourself) to confront realities, revealing true selves and shifting dynamics.

Healthy vs. Unhealthy: Finding Balance:

Healthy: Withdraws to recharge, establish boundaries, and integrate, allowing for deeper, more authentic connection later (attachment + individuation).

Unhealthy: Withdraws to escape, avoid feelings, or because of fear (like flight response), leading to isolation and numbness, often stemming from codependency or unresolved trauma.

How to Individuate Through Withdrawal (Healthy Path):

Self-Awareness: Identify your feelings, needs, and the "shadow" parts of yourself (Jungian concept).

Establish Boundaries: Learn to say "no" and create space without guilt.

Solitude & Self-Nurturing: Spend intentional time alone for reflection, not just avoidance.

Therapy/Journaling: Work through projections and integrate unconscious parts of yourself with professional help or journaling.

In essence, healthy withdrawal serves individuation by creating space to become whole; unhealthy withdrawal is a sign of underdeveloped selfhood that individuation aims to heal.

Gobekli Tepe….

Göbeklitepe is a prehistoric archaeological site in southeastern Turkey, considered the world's oldest temple complex, dating back over 11,000 years (Pre-Pottery Neolithic).

It features massive, T-shaped stone pillars carved with animal reliefs, arranged in circular structures, predating Stonehenge and rewriting theories about the origins of civilization, suggesting complex ritualistic societies existed before agriculture.

The site is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and artifacts found there are displayed at the nearby Şanlıurfa Archaeology Museum, providing context for this revolutionary discovery.

Key aspects of Göbeklitepe:

Age: Over 11,000 years old, making it thousands of years older than Stonehenge and the pyramids.

Discovery: Excavations began in 1995, revealing structures built by hunter-gatherers.

Structures: Monumental, circular enclosures with large, T-shaped pillars carved with wild animals, suggesting a ritual or funerary purpose.

Significance: Upended the theory that agriculture led to civilization, suggesting complex social organization for monumental building may have driven the development of agriculture.

Location: Near Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey, in the region of Upper Mesopotamia.

Museum: The Şanlıurfa Archaeology Museum houses artifacts from Göbeklitepe, offering deeper context to the site.

There was a significant discovery made at Gobekli Tepe in involving a human Statue, which raises many serious questions about what is one of the world’s olde...

Physical Strength Is Not All About Big Muscles…..

That's a great insight! Physical strength isn't just big muscles; it's heavily reliant on your Central Nervous System (CNS)'s ability to signal muscles efficiently, recruiting more fibers, coordinating their firing, and overriding safety limits, especially early in training, leading to rapid strength gains before significant muscle growth (hypertrophy) occurs, showing the brain's role in unlocking muscle potential.

How the CNS Drives Strength:

Neural Adaptations: The initial strength you gain comes from your brain getting better at telling muscles to contract, known as neural drive.

Motor Unit Recruitment: Your CNS learns to activate larger and more motor units (nerve & muscle fiber groups) simultaneously, producing more force.

Coordination: It improves synchronization, ensuring muscles work together harmoniously, reducing opposing muscle activation that wastes energy.

Efficiency: The nervous system becomes more efficient at sending signals, increasing the rate and rhythm of firing, meaning more power.

Overriding Safety: Elite strength involves the CNS learning to bypass built-in safety mechanisms, allowing for greater force output.

CNS vs. Muscle Size:

Early Gains: You get stronger first because of neural improvements, not bigger muscles.

Long-Term: Eventually, both CNS adaptations and muscle hypertrophy (size increase) contribute to greater strength.

Why It Matters:

Training your CNS is key for explosive power, speed, and overall athleticism, making the brain the true "engine" of strength.

This explains why someone with less muscle mass can sometimes lift more if their CNS is better trained for that specific movement

Surgery Cannot Fix Energetic Problems…….

You are correct that surgery may not be able to fix underlying "energetic" (psychological, emotional, or non-physical) problems, although it can address physical ailments.

Here are some perspectives on why surgery has limitations regarding non-physical issues:

Addressing Symptoms vs. Root Causes: Surgery can repair physical damage or remove diseased tissue, but it does not address the underlying psychological, emotional, or lifestyle factors that may have contributed to the condition. For example, surgery might alleviate physical pain, but the mental stress that potentially exacerbated the issue remains.

Holistic Well-being: A patient's overall health involves financial, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being, which significantly impacts recovery and general health. Surgery cannot directly intervene in these areas.

Post-Operative Mental Health: The stress of surgery and the recovery process itself can sometimes lead to anxiety, depression, or even post-traumatic stress disorder, which requires psychological support and therapy rather than further surgical intervention.

Physical Recovery Demands Energy: The body expends significant energy healing from a surgical procedure, leading to physical fatigue and exhaustion. While this is a physical energy problem, it highlights that the body's resources are dedicated to physical repair, not emotional "fixes."

The "Fix-It" Misunderstanding: As noted by some medical professionals, while surgery is effective for acute issues like appendicitis, it may not "fix" chronic conditions with multiple underlying factors. Patients may misunderstand the scope of what surgery can achieve.

Ultimately, while surgery is a powerful tool for physical treatment, a holistic approach that includes mental and emotional support is crucial for comprehensive well-being and recovery.

Edgar Cayce On Body Manipulation…..

Edgar Cayce's health readings heavily emphasized the importance of body manipulation, specifically spinal adjustments and massage, as a primary means to restore and maintain health.

He believed that coordination among the body's different systems was key to wellness, and physical manipulation was essential for achieving this.

Key Concepts from the Readings:

Coordination of Systems: Cayce stressed that health depends on the proper functioning and coordination of the nervous, circulatory, and elimination systems.

Role of Spinal Manipulation: He frequently recommended osteopathic treatments and chiropractic care, focusing on relieving pressure on nerves along the spine. Proper alignment was seen as crucial for the nervous system to regulate and coordinate bodily functions effectively.

Importance of Massage: Massage was consistently advised, often as an adjunct to spinal manipulation. Its purpose was to relax contracted tissues, improve circulation (especially arterial blood flow), and facilitate the body's natural waste elimination processes.

Holistic Approach: Body manipulation was part of a broader, holistic health regimen that also included:

Dietary changes

Hydrotherapy

Electrotherapies (like the "wet cell" battery)
Psychological and attitudinal shifts

Suggestive Therapeutics: Cayce suggested that health practitioners engage in conversational "suggestive therapeutics" during treatments like massage and manipulation. The idea was that patients are often in an altered state of consciousness during these therapies and are more receptive to positive suggestions for healing and behavioral change.

Modern Application:

The methods recommended by Cayce led to the development of the Cayce/Reilly® massage, which integrates specific massage techniques with spinal manipulation principles in a gentle manner. The A.R.E. Health Center and Spa in Virginia Beach continues to offer these integrated services today.

It is important to note that osteopathy has evolved significantly since Cayce's era; modern Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.s) have the same privileges as M.D.s and may place less emphasis on manual manipulation than practitioners in the early 20th century did.

12/22/2025

When Someone Always Feels Attacked…….

When someone always feels attached, it often stems from deep-seated childhood experiences (like inconsistent love) leading to an anxious attachment style, where they crave closeness, fear abandonment, and seek external validation, often becoming "clingy" or "enmeshed" to feel safe, potentially mistaking anxiety for love and relying heavily on one person for all their emotional needs, which isn't healthy and can be managed by building self-worth and diversifying support systems.

Why It Happens (Root Causes):

Inconsistent Childhood Love: Unpredictable affection teaches the brain to link love with anxiety, fear, and the need to "earn" it.

Attachment Styles: Anxious or disorganized styles develop from early neglect or instability, making you crave closeness but fear intimacy.

Low Self-Esteem: You may rely on others to feel worthy or okay, making you dependent on their approval and presence.

Fear of Loneliness/Abandonment: A deep fear that if you lose this person, you'll be left alone and unsupported.

Fantasy Attachment: Attaching to an idealized version of someone (a "projected image") rather than the real person, often as a coping mechanism from childhood wounds.

Signs of Unhealthy Attachment (Feeling "Attached"):

Feeling lost or incomplete when the partner isn't around.

Needing constant reassurance and validation from them.

Getting anxious or insecure if they don't respond to texts immediately.

Basing your self-worth heavily on the relationship's status or their approval.

Rushing future plans (marriage, kids) too soon, creating pressure.

How to Shift Towards Healthier Attachment:

Build Internal Safety: Develop self-compassion, trust yourself, and learn to self-soothe through activities like meditation or journaling.

Diversify Support: Cultivate strong connections with friends, family, and communities so one person isn't your sole source of happiness.

Cultivate Your Own Life: Focus on personal growth, hobbies, and goals; find fulfillment within yourself first.

Understand Your Patterns: Recognize when you're projecting or seeking to re-enact past dynamics.

Seek Therapy: A professional can help address core wounds and teach healthier coping mechanisms.

Removing Heavy Metal Poisoning With Wild Blueberries……..

Yes. Wild blueberries have been known to be effective in counteracting the effects of heavy metal poisoning.

They have antioxidant properties that help the body mop up the free radicals produced when the body encounters heavy metals.

What is Heavy Metal Poisoning?

This is when people that are exposed to heavy metals start to have a build-up of these metals in their bodies. This results in ailments that are related to the accumulation of metals in the body.

Heavy metal damage can be acute or chronic. Acute episodes are caused by exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals in a short period. These usually result in more insidious symptoms.

Chronic heavy metal damage is caused by an accumulation of these metals in body tissues. It can take many years for a person to start having the symptoms of chronic heavy metal toxicity.

The early symptoms of chronic exposure are usually not as severe as those of acute exposure. However, with time, chronic exposure can also cause severe symptoms.

Heavy metal poisoning is found worldwide. The industrialization of many manufacturing plants has resulted in more and more people being exposed to toxic metals.

Heavy metals are denser than 5g/cm³ and have an atomic weight greater than 40.04.

Examples of toxic heavy metals include:

lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
chromium (Cr)
arsenic (As)
aluminum (Al)

Lead exposure and high levels of mercury exposure commonly lead to heavy metal toxicity.

Not all heavy metals are toxic. Some, like iron (Fe), cobalt (Cb), and copper (Cu), are essential to body function within certain limits. They only become toxic when they start to build up in the body and cause deficiency syndromes if they are lacking.

Routes of Exposure:

Heavy metals enter the body via inhalation, ingestion, and through the skin. Industrial pollution of water sources and the air has contributed to the increase in heavy metal poisoning incidents worldwide.

Other sources of heavy metals include contaminated food, containers that have a faulty coating, medicines, dental amalgams, and lead-based paint ingestion.

The Effects of Heavy Metals in the Body
When heavy metals enter the body, they are introduced into body cells, where they start to disrupt the normal function of proteins and DNA. As a result, the damage is not restricted to particular organs but is multi-systemic.

In the central nervous system, heavy metals can cause mental disorders and degenerative neurological disorders. In addition, damage to blood vessels may lead to hepatic, renal, and cardiac damage.

Long-term exposure to heavy metals can cause mutations in cells’ DNA, leading to certain chronic diseases.

Most people don’t know this, but wild blueberries are the only berry on this planet that can pull toxic heavy metals out of your brain and organs. Regular cu...

Stop Expecting Life To Be Fair……

To stop feeling life isn't fair, shift your mindset from expecting fairness to accepting reality, focusing on gratitude, controlling your responses, and taking action on what you can change, rather than dwelling on what you can't, which frees you to build a fulfilling life despite inherent inequalities.

It's about letting go of entitlement, acknowledging unfairness without letting it define you, and finding strength in growth and resilience.

Mindset Shifts:

Accept Reality: Acknowledge that life isn't always fair and people will have more or less, or act unfairly; this acceptance frees energy.

Let Go of Entitlement: Stop demanding what you think you deserve; focus on what you have and can build.

Reframe Unfairness as Growth: View challenges as opportunities for learning and becoming stronger, not as punishments.

Focus on Internal vs. External: Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not others today.

Practical Actions:

Practice Gratitude: Intentionally focus on your strengths, achievements, and blessings to build a positive thought pattern.

Control Your Reaction: You can't control events, but you can control your response; choose to be better, not bitter.

Focus on the Present: Dedicate energy to the present and future, not dwelling on past unfairness.

Define Your Own Success: Figure out what you want, independent of others.

Key Takeaway:

Choose Your Response: You can either let unfairness consume you or use it as a catalyst to build resilience and a meaningful life.

Pranic Healing……

Non-Reacting:

In Pranic Healing, "non-reacting" (often referred to as non-reaction or response over reaction) is a core spiritual and emotional discipline used to maintain energy stability and inner peace.

It is taught as a virtue that prevents the depletion of one's aura and protects the chakras from negative external influences.

Core Concepts of Non-Reaction:

Response vs. Reaction: Pranic Healing emphasizes choosing a conscious "soul-based" response rather than an "ego-based" habit-driven reaction. Reaction often stems from old emotional blockages stored in the energy body.

Energetic Protection: When you react strongly to negativity (such as anger or criticism), you create a "leak" in your energy field. Maintaining a calm, non-reactive state keeps your prana (life force) intact and your aura strong.

Compassionate Objectivity: A key teaching by Master Choa Kok Sui is to remain calm and non-reactive even when others are aggressive. Reacting with "loving-kindness" instead of anger helps "cool down" the situation and prevents negative karma.

Practical Techniques for Non-Reaction
Meditation on Twin Hearts: This foundational Pranic Healing meditation helps flush out negative emotions and builds a "buffer" of peace, making it easier to remain non-reactive in daily life.

Inner Stillness Exercises: Practitioners are encouraged to pause and breathe before responding to triggers. This "gap" allows the energy body to stabilize.

Kriya for Non-Reaction: Specific energetic exercises (kriyas) and breathing techniques are used to strengthen the lower back and spine, which are linked to emotional stability and the ability to "hold your center" under pressure.

Energetic Hygiene: Limiting overstimulation from digital noise or conflict is considered "hygiene" for the mind, reducing the internal "static" that leads to impulsive reactions.

Benefits of Developing Non-Reaction
Emotional Resilience: Helps in handling cravings, stress, and anxiety.

Mental Clarity: Clears "energy noise," allowing intuition to speak louder and decisions to be more aligned.

Accelerated Healing: By not reacting to unpleasant events or people, you avoid creating new energy blockages, which allows the body’s innate self-healing processes to work faster.

Rule Number 1 in psychic protection is NON-REACTION! When you react or get upset, any psychic shields or protective energies from talismans and amulets allow...

Military Documents on Cell Phone Towers……..

Military documents reveal extensive use of cell tower tech for surveillance (like Stingrays to mimic towers and track phones), data harvesting from brokers to watch citizens/enemies, and monitoring movements in conflict zones, alongside concerns about foreign adversaries exploiting cell infrastructure for espionage, as shown by recent disruptions of suspicious networks near the UN.

While specific classified files are secret, public records and reports detail programs like the NSA tracking locations (Snowden docs), FBI using Stingrays, and the military's reliance on commercial location data for operations.

Types of Military & Government Activity:

Cell-Site Simulators (Stingrays): Devices mimicking cell towers to trick phones into connecting, revealing location and metadata, even intercepting calls/texts, often used by local police under federal guidance.

Data Brokerage: Agencies buy vast amounts of location data from commercial apps, allowing them to track millions, including soldiers and targets overseas, notes the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Metadata Analysis: NSA systems (FASCIA) collect and analyze massive metadata, mapping cellphone movements to find patterns, as revealed by The Washington Post.

Real-Time Monitoring: Militaries, like Israel's, use location data from phones to monitor civilian movement during conflicts, reports Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Security Concerns & Incidents:

Foreign Espionage: The FBI warns of Chinese-made equipment on towers potentially allowing adversaries to track military movements, as detailed by CNN.

Disrupted Threats: In 2025, the Secret Service disrupted a hidden network near the UN, finding servers and SIM cards, highlighting risks of jamming or mass surveillance.
