Quick waffle by me and yes, you owe me for speaking up ... and embarrassing myself (lol).

I admit that I was sexually "active" when younger - and thrice I so thought I "caught a STI" ... which had the same or very similar effects "down below" and in my general wellness. The thing is, that the third time, it was impossible in my view, because I was on an offshore rig in the ME for a month, just with other blokes (NO stupid comments please), so started thinking what else it could have been. To be honest I had no idea, but when I finally went to the doctor and stated my story (crying emoji), he sent me for a a test to check for allergies.

Guess what ?; allergic to some petro-derivative products (and me in the O&G industry).

So underpants washed in a new "detergent" ..... TICK

and 3rd .... 3rd proved by Dr / hospital was the shower gel I used offshore - and the 2nd

; let us just state that I was told that I was reacting down below, to an unfamiliar girlie thing... but I assume she used products that contained the same petrochemicals in her wash / shower / whatever.

PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA, how much of our daily life consumption "products" - contain stuff from petrochemical products. From medicine to shower gel, plastics to cosmetics, paint to FOOD and PRESERVATIVES. https://www.cpvmfg.com/news/examples-of-petrochemical-products-their-uses/

(the list is endless)

I've found that not using soap (except sometimes in grimy areas) and wet brushing has helped my skin become very soft yet durable.

Same with toothbrushing. I wet brush before sleep and once or twice a week, I use a basic herbal toothpaste. My teeth have gotten stronger because I'm not stripping down the tartar which is the bacteria that repair the surface of the teeth!

As for laundry, I use unscented stuff and always double rinse. I've always been sensitive to crap like tide.

Big ones for me was regards feet and legs... allergic to hell by the rubbish in resting on the shower floor after the wife and daughter used it (everyday).

Interesting about toothpaste ... had head cancer and had to wear gum shields at night, but full of fluoride gel ... guess what ?....... drum roll ..... ALL my teeth split in half or fell out ... no natural teeth left.

Thanks a LOT for this, Dawn,

A friend of mine has reluctantly admitted the lack of evidence of SARS-CoV-2 existing, of cold and flu being transmitted, ..... but is adamant about STDs, because "My ex boyfriend infected me after running around" a long while ago I presented to her Dr Sam Bailey's work, and she claimed Dr Bailey obviously knew nothing about the topic, and clang to this assessment even after i informed her that Dr Bailey worked in this very field for several years. The notion of STDs has become for her a matter of personal honor.

Thanks Dawn. Such a liberating post as it frees us from the shackles of medical tyranny in this area. Thanks also for posting the earlier article.

Great writing and analysis Dawn.

I do want to say though that there is a natural ( or are you saying that it's not natural) aversion to anyone with festering sores or some sort of stench.

I don't know whether it is actually contagious but it seems to me a healthy response to stay clear of them.

I am not a Mother Theresa.

I agree that it is natural to have an aversion to someone with festering sores, which would be a clear indication that their body is expelling some toxic 'stuff'.

The point is that whatever their symptoms, they cannot transmit a 'germ' to anyone else to cause a 'disease'.

But sometimes people are given a label merely from a test, in the absence of symptoms.

What is in play when an antibiotic “kills” gonorrhea? That apparently happened to me in my 20s.

I'm assuming you mean that your symptoms stopped after you'd taken the antibiotic. There are a couple of possible reasons for this, although I cannot say what actually happened in your case. One is that your body had already dealt with what it was clearing. These irritations/eruptions are often self-limiting. Another is that your body stopped producing the symptoms of clearing because it needed to employ different processes to clear the toxic antibiotic from your system.

I have also wondered about the reality of STD's because the bonobo monkeys are well known to have sex with anyone anyhow when they're stressed. They don't have STDs. From my perspective as a homeopath, I think that STD's are all fear based. Humans have been conditioned for eons of religious conditioning. Hard on the heels of this is the medical and government conditioning. It's now time to break free from this conditioning.

The belief as to the cause of gonorrhea could also be called an argument from ignorance (something is true unless you can prove is false). A good scientist would see that true causation for this disease, and many others, is an association or correlation. True causation is rarely proven for these "contagious" diseases.

There are almost always a number of different factors that contribute to the onset of symptoms, which are not actually 'diseases', but mainly manifestations of the body's efforts to heal itself from damage of one form or another.

I am as usual in total agreement with you on this. As B.J.Palmer, (founder of Chiropractic medicine) said: “If the ‘germ theory of disease’ were correct there’d be no one living to believe it”.

Sin brought disease into the world. The fallen angels brought forbidden knowledge into this world including the "sciences". The occult and pharma/medical included

What do you mean by 'sin'? The actual meaning of the word is to 'miss the mark'. Is that what you are referring to?

Misunderstanding how the body actually works is the reason people experience health issues. And that I suppose can be considered as 'missing the mark'.

There was no death - then Adam and Eve sinned, they were warned by God that they would surely die if they sin and hence death came into the world. God created a living creation with love. Sin goes against love.
