Notes have become the playground of my writing. Sometimes an article gets started and then gets revised as I fine tune what I’m trying to say. The picture in this case is one that I took when I was at Christ The Good Shepherd in Saginaw, MI. One of many pictures I have in my collection.

First, one should compare with control groups (Amish/ off the grid tribes in South America). Is the brain inflammation measurable? I recently left MA because it had truly become insane-land. And I was in the minority for noticing and/ or having it bother me. A huge percentages of women /teachers on anti anxiety or anti depressants - zero critical thinking. Each year more and more children with severe autism, and no one looks at any causality??? It is just chalked up to bad luck for those families? Oh, it’s just more diagnosing? Embarrassing conclusion! Every year my husband had to get the flu shot for work and would get the flu! I did not get the shot- did not get the flu. The doctor’s response was : “well, he would have been sicker without the shot.” A negative is unprovable! I had just read the Japanese had no word in their language for depression until Pharma moved in and sold them anti- depressants. So how we move forward is the next step- knowledge is first, action second, response will be third- that is resisters will be shunned at least. My fear is we are entering the end of Western Civilization and in a few hundred years this new world order will collapse - this demise will be written about in history ‘books’ in 800 years from now, archeological digs will ponder how we let this happen. Bleak. Hope someone has a better prognosis!!
