Despite the physical rigours of yesterday's early evening expedition afoot to stock up on beer, when I retired (around 9:50 p.m.?) later that evening, I didn't submerge into the sort of oblivion I was hoping for. Oh, sure, I slept; but I had at least one wakeful episode before I finally checked the time nearly four hours after getting to bed and then rising for the night to get work done here at my computer.
My wife had reported that she had to work today in Vancouver, so she clearly went on in to the city after finishing her workday yesterday. Without her here sharing the bed, I am more able to sleep.
My eldest stepson was still up when I rose; and he in fact never put the lights out downstairs and went to bed until the night had faded away. I ought to know because I was outside watering the front yard garden plants around 6:50 a.m. and never got to bed until after 7 a.m.
Yet after some sleep, by just after 9 a.m. I was awake and checking the time. I lay in bed for a while, then I rose for the morning ─ most definitely feeling as inadequately slept as might be imagined.
I knew that my younger brother was probably downstairs at the dining table reading the Saturday morning edition of the Vancouver Sun that I subscribe to. I remained upstairs here at my computer until shortly after 10 a.m., and then went downstairs to boil water for a black instant coffee.
Once it was ready to drink, I came into the living room to turn on the T.V.; but my brother must have been waiting for this, for he immediately joined me. Employing our Android TV Box, I located Odessa Orlewicz's latest video from yesterday: I interview Amandha Vollmer Regarding Germ Vs Terrain Theory.
The video was just over 1½ hours long ─ Amandha had so much to say!
The discussion of Germ versus Terrain theories was only a relatively small part of the interview. However, I had never before heard of the Terrain Theory ─ and I have been reading health literature of one form or another since the latter 1960s.
I must have before come across the term, but it just never registered within my memory, although I cannot understand why.
Superficially, I think that I have always understood that disease involving microorganisms resulted only when the body's resistance and defences were below par. So if that is the core of Terrain Theory, then I am surprised that 'Modern Medicine' thinks otherwise. I did not know that it did.
It has long struck me as ludicrous that claim that someone "perfectly healthy" became ill and died from some relatively common disease. For Pete's sake, it is blatantly obvious that such a person could not possibly have been "perfectly healthy" ─ please look up the damned definition of the word "perfect"!
No, that person was functioning with the appearance of a healthy state, but he or she was not technically healthy. That is why getting just barely more than the "Recommended Daily Allowance" (RDA) of nutrients such as vitamins can be absolutely insufficient.
Just because a person is getting a little more Vitamin D than the RDA ─ which is the amount to prevent the common deficiency known as rickets ─ does not signify that all of the other needs of the body are also being met for that vitamin.
Likewise vitamin C. Sure, you can intake enough on a daily basis to keep from developing scurvy, but you would otherwise have a very frail immunological network. You are a victim awaiting the next pathogen that recognizes your biological limits and deficiencies even if you and everyone around you who are closest to you do not.
You may seem "perfectly healthy"; but you are far, far from it. And there are any number of microbes that will soon enough prove this out.
So basically, only unhealthy people fall sick. I honestly thought that this was common knowledge.
Anyway, a very good, short article on Terrain Theory is available at PrestigeWellnessInstitute.com: It's the Terrain.
There is also a pretty good 15-minute video by (cute!) New Zealander Dr. Sam Bailey titled Germ Theory vs Terrain Theory.
But returning to Amandha Vollmer, I got the impression that she is among those relatively few health professionals who do not believe in the existence of viruses.
I struggle to accept that concept, but I am not completely blocked off to it. So let's just say that I am presently leaving myself open to the possibility that it is true.
Odessa asked Amandha about DMSO ─ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). I have read of it over the years, but nothing has ever stuck with me. It just was not a supplement that I felt I could afford to add to my regimen.
Thanks to Amandha, I may have to rethink this. But what I believe is even more important after visiting her website, out of curiosity to see if she anywhere dealt with MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), I delightedly discovered that she is indeed a huge proponent.
I only wondered about this as an afterthought to the video, for the substance was not mentioned in the Odessa interview. My brother and I both are profoundly interested in trying MMS, but have yet to understand just how and where to obtain it as a 'ready to go' formula, if there is any such thing.
I am going to have to check through Amandha's website (Yummy.Doctor) thoroughly. I did find a 100-minute video that I will have to soon watch with my brother: The Marvelous MMS! CDS Chlorine Dioxide Solution.
The only other show my brother and I watched was an episode of Riverdale ─ specifically the fist season finale ("Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet Hereafter"). Once it was done, it was something like 12:50 p.m., so my brother sought his bedroom for some rest ere leaving for the afternoon to resume his daily drinking somewhere.
I managed a little exercise just to be done with it, but I was far too poorly slept to be able to confront an hour or more of sunning before having my breakfast. Consequently, I did eat, by which time my brother had left for the afternoon. I then lay down for an hour or so; and in a deep state of grogginess, went out into the backyard and began well over an hour of sunning while attired in a pair of swimming trunks.
My eldest stepson had taken off on his Harley while my brother was resting; the younger lad was at work. But while I was sunning ─ with the house front door locked ─ I was surprised to have the younger lad come traipsing from around the side of the house. He'd come home from work without his house key. As he observed, "It's a good thing you were sunning!"
If I had gone somewhere, he would have had something of a problem.
Okay, it's just after 7 p.m., and I have an 'ice cold' Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) awaiting me in the fridge icebox / freezer. I'm going to enjoy that along with some T.V., and then have a sensible supper and be set to get myself to bed early into the latter evening. I am anticipating being able to sleep, for I feel weary enough.
