On the subject of health I would recommend "Regenerate", by Sayer Ji but there are so many good books available. I follow Sayer Ji and Dr Mercola, as I appreciate the cutting edge information they provide. For insight into the pharmaceutical industry I recommend "Empire of Pain", by Patrick Radden Keefe.

I see Sayer Ji founded https://greenmedinfo.com/ which looks similar to https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies-all-natural.html - I also have "The Blue Zone" books and some on Chinese medicine etc. Have but have not not read this one though: "Owning the Sun - A People's History of Monopoly Medicine from Aspirin to COVID-19 Vaccines"

It was an interview with Daniel Reid in 1990 that changed my outlook on health. He has written several books on Chinese medicine and Taoism. I believe they would be out of print now but I still have them on my book shelf and still refer to them. "Guarding the Three Treasures" is a favourite for me.

Also going to look up Regenerate.

Have been following both Sayre Ji and Mercola for some time, Sayer Ji since the beginning of the pandemic.

Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Sayer Ji's https://greenmedinfo.com/ looks similar to https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies-all-natural.html - sort of a reddit for alt treatments...

Joseph Mercola is one of the people I started following when the pandemic arrived. It quickly dawned on me everything he wrote was about becoming the healthiest possible version of yourself. That resonated with me.

Even though I'd been heavily into diet and exercise since the early 1990's I was always getting sore throats, colds, and sinus infections 3 or 4 times a year and I'd buy over the counter products to dampen symptoms and see a doctor to get pills/antibiotics.

Mercola opened my eyes to the fact I'd done nothing in the way of learning about natural methods to boost immunity and improve vascular/digestive/kidney health, etc.

At the age of 62 in March 2020 I got Covid and was sick for almost 7 weeks. During the last of those 7 weeks is when I read an article by Mercola about HCQ, Zinc, and Vitamins A, C, and D. I read another that contained a link to a study about quercetin acting as a zinc ionophore that transports zinc inside of cell walls where it then inhibits viral replication. I also recall him mentioning a yellow onion the size of a baseball contains about 7500 mg of quercetin.

For my next grocery order I added the vitamins and a bag of plain yellow onions.

Within 24 hours of taking the vitamins and sprinkling about 1/4 of a diced raw yellow onion onto each meal my symptoms began to abate (noticeably.) Three days later my symptoms were completely gone.

I kept the vitamins and raw yellow onion as part of my daily routine and haven't had so much as a sniffle since.

I read Chase Bank recently closed the accounts of not only Joe Mercola but many of his family members as well.

This speaks volumes about the side doing the censoring and pushing "the narrative."

Absolutely. I have been a subscriber to his newsletters for many years and a user of his products. I have found him to be honest and forthright and always prepared to admit to a change of thought. That he has been targeted by government and the Center for Countering Digital Hate really highlights that he is on target. Chase Bank is despicable in their actions, targeting not only Dr Mercola but his employees and family as well.
