If there are risks, how can they be mitigated?”ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Healing Modalities54 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I have been wearing glasses since I was young. I suspect I actually didn’t need them, but it was foisted on me due to a concerned family friend who raised the alarm to my parents when I complained of not being able to see the blackboard from the back of the classroom. I think this was a temporary fluctuation in vision acuity, but the glasses themselves paralyze eye muscles and lock in bad vision. First of all, is my theory correct that the glasses themselves deteriorated my eyesight to the point of a vicious cycle of dependency?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities52 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Glasses and contact lenses are a nuisance to me. I am athletic and they get in the way. I have rejected LASIK eye surgery until now due to the risks. However, recently, I have been thinking more about it. It would be liberating not to have to depend on glasses or contacts anymore. I think it would make me more resilient physically, especially considering the tough times ahead, as well as protect me from the risk of not having my glasses on hand (they can break, too) or running out of contact lenses. I also get uncomfortable with glasses and contacts, and sometimes get headaches. They sure do get in the way of fun as well. And I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, and again, vision correction causes extra strain. I know several people that have done the surgery and they report no problems years after. But there are also lots of warnings about risks, such as blurry vision and regression after some time. Overall, I know the divine realm is not in favor of surgery. Considering that we need to be in top form with minimal obstacles to effectiveness for the mission, and considering that I am also supported by the protocols to mitigate risks, would it be best for me to do this procedure? Or are there serious risks that could become a net negative and is it best to continue relying on glasses/contact lenses?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities38 views0 answers0 votesA study was reported in 2004 of people with advanced coronary artery disease who started taking just 50 ml of pomegranate juice daily. At the end of 1 year, control subjects taking a placebo showed a further 9% increase of coronary artery media-intima thickening. Those on pomegranate juice, had up to a 30% decrease [M. Aviram, et al., Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation. Clin Nutr. 2004 Jun;23(3):423-33]. Were these findings truly reflecting an important therapeutic benefit of a simple, widely available nutraceutical? Is there anything sinister about the limited follow-up by the medical community?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities45 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Wondering if you could check on Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (namely the gluten-free Metatrol brand) for anticancer and antiviral benefits in addition to other benefits.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities32 views0 answers0 votesIn reviewing the ingredients of Primal X Plus, a supplement promoted by Dr. Al Sears and the supplier, Primal Force, and said to be an effective mix of 35 ingredients for stimulating and optimizing stem cell function, it seems to offer many basic vitamins, minerals, and tissue constituents but nothing particularly exotic. Is this something unique, or is the marketing emphasis on scientific breakthroughs in better understanding the origins and function of stem cells just detailing benefits of broad spectrum nutraceutical coverage that likely occurs with many supplements, singly and in combination?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities75 views0 answers0 votesWould taking the Primal Force supplement, Focus IQ, be superior as a recommendation for enhancing brain health and cognitive performance, especially focus, concentration, and memory recall as compared to Advanced Memory Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities67 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Is Manuka honey worthy of our nutrition dollars? Here’s a summary of benefits from a Brave search (saw nothing on the Creator database): Manuka honey offers a range of potential health benefits due to its unique antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is particularly noted for its ability to support wound and burn healing, with research indicating it can promote tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and help prevent infections, including those caused by antibiotic-resistant strains like MRSA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its use for wound treatment, and medical-grade Manuka honey is often used as a sterile dressing for minor wounds and leg ulcers. For oral health, Manuka honey may help reduce dental plaque buildup, potentially preventing gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. It can also soothe sore throats and help relieve coughs, with clinical trials supporting its effectiveness in alleviating these symptoms. In terms of digestive health, Manuka honey may support gut health by acting as a prebiotic and helping to manage conditions like stomach ulcers and acid reflux. Manuka honey is also used for skin care, where it can hydrate the skin, manage acne, and help with conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Its application as a topical treatment for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin, including as a facial mask or lip balm, is common. Some studies suggest it may help reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, Manuka honey may support overall immunity, provide natural energy, and serve as a healthier alternative to refined sugar when consumed in moderation. It has been associated with potential benefits for heart health, including supporting healthy blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels, though these findings are based on studies involving a healthy diet context. It may also aid in recovery from exercise and support the body’s natural defenses against stress and infections. Despite these benefits, Manuka honey is not suitable for infants under one year old, people with diabetes or blood-sugar control disorders, or those with a known honey allergy. It should be consumed in moderation due to its natural sugar content, which can raise blood sugar levels if overused. A higher UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) rating, typically 10+ or higher, indicates stronger antibacterial potency due to higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and leptosperin. https://search.brave.com/search?q=manuka+honey+benefits&summary=1&conversation=e2c455d58326bf11d914f9.”ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities81 views0 answers0 votesIs Manuka honey preferable to use in general, or are there more beneficial forms of honey we can utilize?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities70 views0 answers0 votesIs the key about honey utility, the plant source of pollen used by a particular hive? Would probing to get a rank-order preference from the divine perspective be rewarding?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities58 views0 answers0 votesDr. David Eiffrig wrote a column about urinary tract infections: “Emergency physician Erika Kube, M.D. mentioned in 2021 in the Columbus Dispatch, “Altered mental status is often the only symptom of a UTI in an elderly person. Behavior such as increased confusion, hallucinations, agitation, dizziness, falls and poor motor skills are often mistaken for early stages of dementia, but all can be caused by a UTI.” Also called delirium, this rapid worsening of the mental state is more common than you’d think. It’s found in nearly 30% of older folks with UTIs.” Are these cases all from bacterial infections or are those people with UTIs showing dementia symptoms a subset with viral infections, either alone or along with bacterial infection as well?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers108 views0 answers0 votesA 2018 study estimated that infection triggers roughly half of all cases of delirium in seniors. As for the reason why, scientists suspect a UTI triggers inflammation that can disrupt how our neurons function. And UTIs are the second-most-common type of infection in adults aged 65 and over at hospitals and community-living centers (with lung infections ranked No. 1). What is Creator’s perspective about the frequency of viral vs. bacterial causation?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers100 views0 answers0 votesIs the supplement for enhancing mental sharpness from Immunocorp, called Acuitol, a safe and effective way to enhance mental functioning?

Are such injections causing other diseases as well which may take longer to become symptomatic?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Healing Modalities89 views0 answers0 votesThe most commonly prescribed GLP-1 drug is semaglutide, which is marketed under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy. How effective are the supplements Reversirol, GLP-1 Plus, and Nutreb’s Berberine for increasing GLP-1 levels and achieving the same biochemical benefits for dealing with Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome symptoms as semaglutide?
