AEA BETHLEHEM SHELTER - Promoting animal welfare

AEA Bethlehem Shelter

Animal Environment Associated (AEA) in #Bethlehem #Palestine is the only animal #shelter situated in the #WestBank. Founded by Diana Babish in 2016, the organisation provides a safe environment for thousands of #dogs and #cats and works with the local authorities to prevent the poisoning and shooting of dogs as a brutal form of animal control. AEA-Bethlehem is the only shelter that provides #treatment to injured dogs, cats and other #animals, and arranges formal animal #fostering and adaptions. They also provide #spay and #neutering services to the animals in their care, and to those who will be adopted. AEA-Bethlehem is also working to change policies that allow the abuse and the poisoning of dogs without penalty and for vets that witness these atrocities to be held accountable.. AEA-Bethlehem receives no government #funding, relying completely on urgently needed #donations. They also encourage local people to #volunteer at the shelter and visit schools to educate children about #AnimalWelfare and the #environment.

A cure for chronic fatigue syndrome? No. But a study showed that moxibustion relieves chronic fatigue syndrome, which is already very good for this crippling condition.

Conclusions: Based on limited evidence, moxibustion might be an effective and safe complementary therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome, which can be recommended to manage chronic fatigue syndrome. Because of the limited level of evidence in this review, further high-quality trials are still needed to confirm these findings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0

'Panel of #doctors and #scientists convene in a remarkable #open #forum about #effective #early #treatment and evaluate the current #one-size-fits-all approach to #Covid #treatment. While the conversation was far-ranging, it often hit on controversial topics around the #causes, #prevention #strategies, and #treatments for Covid. The #goal of the #panel was to be a first step toward having more #in-depth and #open #conversations around the #pandemic. While some of the #conversation veered into the #controversy around #vaccinations, many of the doctors strongly emphasized they do not oppose #vaccines.'

Moxibustion Application for COVID Patients Rehabilitation
Fire Dragon 10-10-21

Pulmonary fibrosis will become one of the complications of COVID patients. It is clinically observed that most patients have different degrees of post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis when discharged from the hospital. The post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis of severely ill patients is particularly significant. Therefore, the rehabilitation of discharged patients need to be paid attention to by medical practitioners.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that yang deficiency is closely related to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, and proposes that the essence of the disease is a mixture of deficiency and excessive, yang deficiency and coldness are the root cause, phlegm stagnation and blood stasis as its initial manifestations.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia is classified under "dampness with cold condensation" in TCM. Cold and dampness are considered as pathogens of yin, which can easily damage the yang energy. Considering that the disease location is mainly in the lungs, then if the yang energy of the lungs is weak, the vitality of the lungs will become impaired, and will lead to disease formation, from deficiency can lead to excessiveness, then the transforming function of yang energy will become deficit. The Qi becomes inadequate to perform its function in distributing the body fluids efficiently. Body fluids then start to accumulate and become congested into turbid phlegm. The more it will hinder the yang energy movement with cold condensation, leading to abnormal flow which will cause blood stasis. Actually, we can see here, it’s from deficiency leading to excessive condition. Yet in this situation, it will aggravate much further, considering the turbid phlegm and blood stasis are known to be as yin pathogens, it will then further damage human yang energy with cold coagulation. Such lingering and reciprocating condition will make the disease difficult to heal.
The pathogenesis of novel coronavirus pneumonia is complicated, and the treatment objectives must be targeted on the elimination of symptoms and treating at its root causes. The strategy must be the warming method to replenish its yang energy as its main objective, at the same time to eliminate the phlegm and promoting blood circulation for yang deficiency with cold coagulation are the root cause of this disease, as the saying: “need to replenish when there is deficiency and apply warming method to treat coldness.” What is important and the main point here is not just applying heat to induce energy for dispersing coldness, but also heat application is suggested to treat phlegm turbidity and blood stasis. Therefore, the warming method is selected and moxibustion application is the best and first choice for the treatment of this disease.

During this plague or pandemic, moxibustion gives promising results, especially in the treatment of post covid symptoms for those patients during recovery period. Moxibustion can play a more important role in the fight against "pulmonary disease". Moxibustion can warmth and stimulate the acupuncture points, which has the functions of warming yang energy to dispel coldness, clearing the meridians to promote blood circulation, strengthening and escalating yang to save life from depletion, and for detoxification. Furthermore, advanced modern research has concluded application of moxibustion obviously will improve and has shown immunoregulatory effects. Recommended acupoints are: Dazhui (DU14), Gaohuangshu (UB43), Zusanli (ST36), etc.

"What GPs... need, is better access for their patients to alternative, non-pharmacological treatments, which can be patchy across the country."

#Acupuncture is now officially recommended in the UK by #NICE for the #treatment of #chronic #pain, #migraines and #headaches. Acupuncture also regularly outperforms usual care/conventional treatment for a range of other conditions in both effectiveness and safety. GPs should therefore consider referring more patients for acupuncture to help reduce overprescribing and take the pressure off the #NHS. GPs can refer to practitioners accredited the professional organisations in their country, such as #Zhong or #NVA in The Netherlands.

Meta-analyses based on 18 #randomized #controlled #treatment trials of #ivermectin in #COVID-19 have found large, statistically #significant #reductions in #mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to #viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled #prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

This article gives a comprehensive overview of the use of #traditional #Chinese #herbal #medicine in #China in the #treatment of #COVID-19.

"As it became clear that the epidemic in #Wuhan was going to be both severe and drawn out, discussions of the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in historical responses to epidemics in China began to appear on both scholarly and popular media platforms in China. For example, a five-part documentary news series on the role of Chinese medicine in fighting the epidemic in Hubei devoted a good deal of the first episode to reviewing how classical herbal formulas were developed and used in epidemic outbreaks throughout Chinese history. The National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NATCM)4 published a colorful scroll of cartoon drawings on its official social media site to bring this history to the public.5 The scroll begins in the Han dynasty and takes us up to the present day, reviewing the use of Chinese herbal medicine to treat smallpox, cholera, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, bubonic plague, influenza, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Before the influx of Western medicine in the nineteenth century, sophisticated theories and methods from within the tradition of medicine and medical literature in China were used to address these conditions."

Cuba ~ End the Embargo

‘If #JoeBiden or frankly any US politician #cared about the #Cuban #people, they’d push for an end to the US’s #crippling #economic sanctions on Cuba.’

‘All people have the right to #protest and to live in a #democratic #society. I call on the Cuban government to #respect opposition rights and refrain from violence. It’s also long past time to end the #unilateral #US #embargo on #Cuba, which has only #hurt, not #helped, the Cuban #people.’ …. #BernieSanders

‘It’s important to remember that before the #Cuban #Revolution, Cuba was a #colonial #piggy-bank for #American #capitalists to #exploit. The revolution stopped the United States from treating Cuba like its little plaything, which the United States has never been able to accept.’

‘The US continually punishes #Haiti & Cuba because these are nations that successfully #revolted against #white #supremacist #empires in generations past.’

‘The #whole #world has spoken against the US embargo against Cuba. In the #UN #GeneralAssembly, 184 countries voted to #condemn the #blockade. Only two, the US and #Israel, voted not to. Cuba loses $9.1 billion a year due to the blockade.’

‘Not only is the US blockading Cuba, they are claiming #veto #power over any other country which wishes to send Cuba #food and #medicine.’

‘The choice is clear. Which side are we on? The US, which continues to #violate #international #law by decades of crippling #sanctions even in the face of a #pandemic, or Cuba, which has created five different vaccines and sent thousands of #doctors to #heal #people around the world?’

‘Nobody is charged a dime in Cuba for their #treatment. But in the US, people are denied treatment unless they have tens of thousands of dollars to pay for medical bills. Again, which side are you on?’

‘In addition, Cuba has: – #Guaranteed #salaries; – #Nationalized #BigPharma; – #Distribution of #food, #electricity, and piped #water.’

‘The US is trying to create a #self-fulfilling #prophecy with Cuba. Cripple it with #decades of sanctions, then try to initiate an #astroturf #regime #change operation. This is typical M.O. for the #PoliceState.

'Never forget the explicitly stated goal of the US government’s murderous, #illegal, 60-year blockade on Cuba: to " #weaken the economic #life of Cuba," and " #decrease #monetary and #real #wages, to bring about #hunger, #desperation and #overthrow of #government."

I don't agree with everything said (nor the philosophy/epistemology behind it). I think it important to listen and consider more/all perspectives. I do think it vital to be wary of the one true "truth" we're not allowed to waver from.

frustrating how suppressed such messages have been getting... and more frustrating how many succumb to the danger of the little bit of information they're allowed, epistemologically missing that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and blundering into a dozen other fallacies and unquestioning group think, saturated in the propaganda parroted back, not even questioning who's making bank, who's got conflicts of interest, not following the money, not considering cui-bono. very disappointing, humanity, very disappointing, and all the more for all you keep quiet for the fear of what other people think. you would hand us all over to eugenicists and tyrants just to play play along for an easy life. ... "First they came..."

I don't agree with everything said (nor the philosophy behind it). I think it important to listen and consider more/all perspectives. I do think it vital to be wary of the one true "truth" we're not allowed to waver from.

Listen to those who seek the truth, run from those who claim to have found it.

yet, "no valid medical reason whatsoever" & "no chance, impossible" & "not viable, not plausible" surely needs give you pause for concern and consideration. and he can say "I don't know" often too, and consider possibilities and uncertainties. Sounds like someone who investigates rather than parrots unquestioningly. still some flies in his ointment still, but far less than the jar of flies-only on offer.
