"All these photos have in common that they, respectively the authors, can´t claim that they represent a virus, as long as they do not also provide the original publications which describe how and what from the virus has been isolated. Such original publications are cited nowhere." Dr. Stefan Lanka Dr. Stefan Lanka Exposes The "Viral Fraud" Pictures of "Isolated Viruses" Debunked http://www.neue-medizin.com/lanka2.htm For almost one year we have been asking authorities, politicians and medical institutes after the scientific evidence for the existence of such viruses that are said to cause disease and therefore require "immunization". After almost one year we have not received even one concrete answer which provides evidence for the existence of those "vaccination viruses". The conclusion is inevitable that our children are still vaccinated on the basis of scientific standards of the 18th and 19th century. In the 19th century Robert Koch demanded in his generally accepted postulates evidence of the virus in order to prove infection; at Koch´s time this evidence couldn´t be achieved directly by visualization and characterization of the viruses, because adequate technology wasn´t available at that time. Methods of modern medicine have profoundly changed over the past 60 years, in particular by the invention of the electron microscope. And still all these viruses we get immunized against have never been re-examined using this technology? Germs do not cause disease. They breakdown dead, dying or damaged tissue. Blaming an invisible virus for the disease is like blaming flies for being attracted to garbage. Germ theory is false. . . . . #germtheory #virus #covid19 #coronavirus #5G #geoengineering #climatewarfare #yummymummy #doctor_yummy #stefanlanka #novirusesexist #somatids #pleomorphism #yummymummyemporium #yummymummyapothecary #myhaliburtonhighlands #mindenontario #haliburtonlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B9trtLJncQw-WY-owxOoF3upOdeLkvLulTwyJo0/?igshid=1xa6fnud5bq4t

In Sickness and in Health

Part Four of a series of articles on the settlement of the Northern Townships in Ontario in the mid 1800's

We know something, now, after living in the shadow of Covid, about rampaging diseases and the way fear spreads when the cause is unknown.  Before migrating to Canada, many of Haliburton’s early settlers endured cholera epidemics in the crowded cities of the U.K. and Europe. The belief at the time was that cholera was caused by bad air and immoral lifestyles, so the appeal of moving to a wilderness with a small and scattered population must have been very attractive.  Unfortunately, cholera (nicknamed the blue death) followed them across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada and was particularly rampant in port cities like Quebec City and Kingston. Ships carrying new settlers were called “coffin ships.” Poor sanitation and bad water caused an extreme loss of fluids, turning the skin blue, and death often occurred within one day.

            Those who rode the Victoria Rail Line to Haliburton were still vulnerable to scarlet fever, smallpox, diphtheria and tuberculosis, diseases that could be transmitted in the close sleeping quarters of a lumber camp, at the local tavern, or at church.  The introduction of Red Cross Outposts in the Haliburton area was decades away in the future, so families depended on home remedies like mustard plasters and chicken soup.  They may have tried “snake oil” from the travelling tinker. Superstitions, passed down from grannies in the old country, had mixed results. 

            The forest was full of herbal remedies, if only one knew where to look. Much indigenous wisdom on the healing power of nature had been lost during the early years of colonization with the tragic relocation of First Nations populations to reserves. Milkweed relieved muscle and joint pain. Spruce tea cured symptoms of scurvy with high doses of Vitamin C. Willow bark was used for pain relief.  On my property, there is a huge patch of Joe Pye weed down by the lake.  Butterflies love it.  The story is told that Joe Pye was an indigenous healer from New England who discovered that the tall, purple flowering weed provided a cure for the deadly typhus outbreaks that killed so many. Was Joe Pye a real person? Maybe not. It was more likely a faulty interpretation of the Native American word for typhoid.  Jopai.

            Fear of sickness has always caused myths and misunderstandings to develop.  Education about hand-washing and clean water sources eventually increased community health and wellness.

            The early days in Haliburton were tough enough for healthy folks, but the sick were likely to perish. Mortality rates for women during childbirth and infants were high.  Pioneering took a great deal of energy, and when a family was weakened by influenza or fever, it often meant the cabin’s hearth went cold.  The wood did not get chopped.  The soup did not get made.  Harsh weather and hunger left isolated settlers in danger.  

            Surviving in the backwoods in the 1800’s required resilience, resourcefulness, and a lot of luck. A good immune system could tip the balance between success and failure.
