More on Vagus Nerve Stimulation
We’ve highlighted the issue of stimulating the Vagus Nerve and how important it is due to the fact that it tends to control so many things in our bodies. More information regarding stimulating the Vagus Nerve involves using a TENS Unit.[1]

A Tens Unit, short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a portable device that delivers low-level electrical impulses to specific areas of the body. Initially developed to relieve pain, Tens Units have gained popularity in recent years as a non-invasive method for stimulating the vagus nerve.

When properly stimulated, the Vagus Nerve becomes toned rather than low toned. Like anything in our bodies, when things are toned up, they work better, whether it’s muscles, our brain or something else. Muscles that are not toned can easily become atrophied. The person with atrophying muscles will experience muscle weakness, which could easily affect the way they walk, stand or simply move. As people age, it is easy to let our muscles simply age with us and enter into an atrophying state. It tends to overtake people without them even realizing it.

A TENS Unit has good clinical trials and studies behind it in the use of pain management and toning the Vagus Nerve itself. Again, if the Vagus Nerve is toned, the body tends to work better.

Just some of the things the Vagus Nerve has an effect on includes:

• Arthritis
• Acute Pain
• Chronic Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Neuropathy
• Muscle Tension/Spasms
• Sports Injuries
• Postoperative Pain
• Lowering Blood Pressure
• Promoting Calmness and Relaxation
• Minimizing Seizures in those with Epilepsy
• Improving Sleep
• Enhancing Cognitive Function
• Reducing Inflammation
• Improving Digestive Function
• Enhancing Quality of Life
• Reducing Symptoms of Depression & Anxiety[2]

Moreover, what I’ve learned is that a TENS Unit for stimulating the Vagus Nerve has already been in use by the medical profession to alleviate or at least help the following situations:

• Depression
• Tinnitus
• Epilepsy
• Migraine
• Anxiety Disorders
• Cognitive Disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)[also 2]

All of this may seem too good to be true, but again, there is clinically-based evidence that these outcomes exist when stimulating the Vagus Nerve using a TENS unit (or other techniques, like previously discussed breathing exercises). One strong caution of course, is that prior to using any type of electrical device to stimulate the Vagus Nerve, it is strongly recommended that a person discusses the option with their physician. TENS Units are not for everyone and depending on a specific malady present in a person, a TENS Unit may do more harm than good. Please read the linked articles thoroughly and bring any questions/concerns you might have to your doctor to discuss.

This third article linked below is from an organization in Australia regarding the use of a TENS Unit.[3] For anyone living down under, it is certainly worth a look to learn if a TENS Unit might make a healthy difference for you. These units are much more affordable than the units specifically designed for Vagus Nerve stimulation. Beyond that, a TENS Unit has the ability to deal with physical pain in your body as well as being used to stimulate the Vagus Nerve. For a few dollars, you might be able to fix what ails you and you may not even be aware that your Vagus Nerve oversees so many actions in your body.

Chlorine Dioxide for Viruses?
Yes, apparently. I have written about DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide), previously and how there appears to be a growing body of evidence that shows this clear liquid solvent (that smells like garlic), can destroy cancer cells in a person.[4] A good deal of information in the linked article comes from A Midwestern Doctor in his The Forgotten Side of Medicine substack.[5]

I personally have used and continue to use DMSO to right what ails me. My wife does as well and she has noticed that the pain in her hands has disappeared. If what many doctors are now reporting on regarding the use of DMSO to eradicate cancers and help in other areas, one can only wonder why the FDA approved its use for only one situation; as a liniment. Anyone who owns a horse knows that DMSO is a great liniment to rub on horses legs. It tends to go to the source of the problem – pain, sprain, etc., and heal it. I’ve used it on my neck and parts of my back to eliminate the pain there and it works wonderfully. The only side effect I’ve noticed is the tendency to cause an itching sensation, but that usually goes away.

Prior to applying DMSO to your skin, the area needs to be cleaned thoroughly because DMSO penetrates the skin and any dirt on the surface will go into the skin with the DMSO. Unfortunately, the efficacy of DMSO never took off because of the FDA’s restrictions on it. In the end, it may all be about profits for Big Pharma because when someone has cancer, their go-to plan is normally chemotherapy, which is extremely costly and often not that effective.

DMSO can be purchased in many places and of course, online and it’s not that expensive; about $30 per bottle. It also comes in roll-ons for easier application. DMSO has the capacity to unfold misfolded proteins, which tend to cause havoc in our bodies. It has amazing healing properties.

I used to have a split fingernail. It would always be catching on things and tear more. I’d then have to trim it very close and even use a nail file to file the split down. Then I decided to try DMSO. I put a little in a small medicine measuring cup and simply held the end of my finger in it for 5-10 minutes. I did this again several days later. Eventually, as the nail started growing, I noticed that the split was disappearing with the new nail coming in. It took quite a while for the nail to grow out completely and I ended up holding my finger in the DMSO liquid one or two more times, but now there is no split at all in my fingernail. None. It may be worth investigating to help what ails you.

CDS
CDS (Chlorine Dioxide) has been used as a water purificator for years. If you like to go backpacking or camping away from civilization, you might have included CDS pills in your backpack. They are used for purifying the water that you would find while hiking/backpacking, to ensure that the water you find is actually potable. You are placing the CDS pills in the water then you drink it.

Yet, the media will warn you away from this “dangerous” concoction! They will tell you (wrongly) that CDS is the exact same thing as bleach. Remember that during Covid? Actually, it’s not bleach at all, but a separate compound.

Dr. Andreas Kalcker[6] has dedicated his substack to the subject of CDS and also gives nods to Jim Humble, who highlighted what he called MMS, which is similar to CDS.

Dr. Kalcker takes the time to explain many things about CDS, what it is, how to use it, what he believes it can cure. In his book, Forbidden Health, he outlines the many protocols using CDS to cure ailments. It’s not a cheap book, but worth it to own if you want to improve your health. His substack is certainly very informative as well if the book is beyond your financial reach.

What bothers me about the things I’ve mentioned in this article is the fact that a good portion of it is all poo-poo’d by the mainstream media (if/when they talk about it), and the medical complex itself. Imagine if people took the bull by the horns when it comes to their own health. It would put Big Pharma out of business eventually.

Of course, other things need to be done as well. Things like eating as “cleanly” as possible, which is difficult to do in a world that uses all sorts of pesticides on our foods that tend to react within the human body by creating more estrogen. The chemicals used in their pesticides are simply not good. Generations ago, people farmed without them and each family needed to raise their own food including herds to ensure that they had food after the growing season ended.

Today, people just go to a grocery store and buy whatever is on sale due to their finances. Often though, those things on sale are far less quality than organic or even food that a person might grow in their own gardens. America and the rest of the world, for the most part, has moved so far away from the original agrarian society that existed, that most people wouldn’t know how to grow a tomato, much less raise enough food to help at least offset their grocery bill.

The truth is that God designed human beings to live off the food He provided. That includes meat to the annoyance of vegans everywhere (Genesis 9). God specifically told Noah that humanity could eat whatever they wanted (including animals for their meat), with the exception that the blood was supposed to be drained out prior to eating it.

Does it not stand to reason that God invested the food we were told to eat – plants and animals – with the necessary nutrition and vitamins that our bodies need? We’ve come so far away from that because of Big Foods though. Today, our “food” that we buy in grocery stores is laden with chemicals and even when labeled “enriched,” all that means is that in the process of creating the foods for the stores, they ended up eliminating the natural good in it. So they add vitamins and minerals (often chemically man-made), into the food at the end. The problem is that our bodies are not geared to absorb it because it is often seen as foreign to our bodies.

Big Foods creates “food stuff” that smells great, looks wonderful, and tastes even better through the use of chemicals. If we think it looks, smells and tastes wonderful, our brain is tricked into thinking it is actually good for us. When we develop ailments often based on our eating habits, we usually go to the doctor. The doctor listens to our complaints because we describe our symptoms at which point he/she will usually reach for the prescription pad and write us out at least one prescriptive medication. I know folks who are on many prescriptions because one treats the symptoms the patient came to the doctor about in the first place. The rest often treat the symptoms/adverse reactions of the first medication and so it goes.

This is not the way God intended or planned for His creation; humanity. Eating healthy is the start toward good health. But even then sometimes our bodies/minds need help because of all the stress that modern day living produces and exerts on us. The air we breathe may not be the healthiest. The water may have contaminants or chemicals in them (like fluoride, etc.) that have no good benefit for us. The food stuffs we eat may also work to tear down our health and we then wonder why we feel so sluggish or hobble when we walk.

It is then we may need additional helps from a TENS Unit, DMSO and/or CDS. We live in a world with growing stress and angst. It affects us all. We need to go above and beyond to bring ourselves back to healthy living. It can be done but know that once you take that road, you are swimming upstream against the tide.

Big Pharma, Big Foods and others seem to be in it for the money. Do they really care about our health? If they did, they would have outlawed the same chemical additives that most of Europe banned years ago. It’s all about the Benjamins and how much they can make off of each person alive today. Once we hit that age where spending money on us to fix what ails us becomes cost-prohibitive, they’ll leave us to die or help us get there.

Sorry if that sounds depressing, but more and more doctors are telling us that this is what’s happening. Only you can make a difference in your own life by making the right choices.
