Brilliant find PK.

Great nostalgia and reseeing through opened eyes.

Seems so corny now.

Psychological programming sticks out a mile - now!

"Psychological programming sticks out a mile - now!" -- sure does. Given I was diagnosed with glandular fever when I was at intermediate (12 yrs old), and was living next to an orchard at the time, I now have an idea what caused it. The orchardist used to spray his trees (mandarins) from a tractor - I remember the clouds of whatever the crap he was using drifting all over the place. Plus I would jump the fence and grab a few when they were ripe. I hate to think how he died, given I never saw him with protective gear. Probably not good.

It really is sad how deeply They indoctrinated Us, and for how long it's been going.

Thank You for Your work, Craig. Wishing You 100% recovery from Your poisoning!

Thanks AS. A few steps back, more forward. Seems like the detox process is a batch process (my chemical engineering hat on) - feel yuck for a while, then an unpleasant period (I wont give details, but you wouldn't want to be around me), then an improvement. But it's very slow.

I presume You have tried eating lots of organic cilantro (coriander)? That herb is excellent at detoxing the body. If You haven’t, I recommend You try it.

Yes indeed. I'll write the full story sometime. When I feel things have worked to the point where I'm satisfied. Coriander is a tiny part and not what has been most effective for what I was poisoned by. But it's a great plant, and I love it in my food as a matter of course. I used to grow a lot when I was able to garden. Hopefully will be able to again (was actually ramping up coriander as a commercial organic crop when was poisoned).

I found a lot of programming regarding germ theories in an Annual for Girls, a monthly compendium from mid 1899 to mid 1900. So in amongst the serialised stories,poertry, music, nature, letters, architecture, royalty, fashion, art are things like this…covering quite a few pages…over many months….

“ The Rheumatism Microbe. Yet another new microbe! How many new microbes have been announced since the last decade of the century? But the latest new microbe is one of vast importance, for it is credited with causing rheumatism, the scourge which stands next to tuberculosis in the number of its victims.” ……

So the impregnating of germ science/fear was being pumped into young women waaaaay back then.

How about doing a post on it? I've got a few of those old Annuals for boys of the same period myself from my grandfather (and being a book collector). Similar content; stories etc. I will start looking. Great find.
