Let’s hope not! I’m pretty sure it’s a commie plot … probably finance by Soros.

“In 1970, fresh out of the University of British Columbia with a degree in geology, Chuck Fipke signed on with mining company Kennecott Copper to look for gold and copper in Papua New Guinea. A helicopter would drop him off alone in the middle of a jungle, and pick him up at the end of the day. The terrain was so rough that the chopper often couldn’t land — Fipke would just leap out as it hovered close to the ground. One day he turned around to face 20 locals, arrows strung. He raised his arms, slowly removed his vest, and offered it to “the one who looked like the chief.” By the time the helo returned for him, Fipke was in his underpants clutching a fine array of tribal shields, bows and arrows, and fetishes. “I’ve got an amazing collection of stuff!” he says.”

WHO Carcinogens: Asbestos, Arsenic, Cigarettes, Alcohol,… & Bacon!?

The World Health Organization has now officially declared bacon to be just as dangerous to human health as tobacco cigarette smoking. WHO has made the decision to declare all processed meats “carcinogenic to humans,” and that’s not a good thing.

First , sinus flushing – I have done that for over four decades due to pollen allergies , using a Hindu Neti pot , a gravity feed , heated saline rinse into one nostril out the other . You can feel it penetrate into swollen sinus channels and flush them out . As you point out , during the pollen season it can help immensely .

Goldie – the barotrauma concept sounds plausible . Every foot of depth adds about a half PSI , so at 20 feet down , the pressure is getting close to two atmospheres , which could drive water far back into the sinuses .

Thanks to both of you for your responses .

Armstrong although no one can really predict such events said that if enough volcanos go off it could cause global cooling affecting crops. He gave a forward time not too far off and warned to stock up on food. Guess only if you see it happen.

He knows that now lol He may or may not have not had any sinus problem prior but the constant dives you explained that cause the problem may have caused tissue damage or a chronic condition from it like chronic barotrauma or something similar divers can get. Good advice maybe it will work and hope no bacteria build up deep in sinuses. That can infact be dangerous.
After I tried a dive after getting over a URI from a patient naturally just before my vacation when I told my diver friend he told me a long list of things that could of happened to me I wasn’t aware of at the time. Luckily I had sense to go back up because under pressure my lungs felt like they could of collapsed.

It’s hard to live as healthy of life as a generation before us due to so much pollution we were exposed to much younger and longer and the younger even worse now dosing them up with massive vaccines. Life expectancy is going backwards now not forwards. How many people found out things they were exposed to are hazardous later like abestos or Benzene that was in cleaning products women used.
Having real checkups including pre stroke and heart checkups help plus educating yourself on signs and symptoms of at least the common things. Also getting things in control like diabetes or things that can contribute to it ” including vaccines” that can then contribute to other problems including cognitive disorders.
In the end out living your friends spouse and sometimes even family can take its toll without something to keep them going.Plus we have a system that wants to keep riding the cost of living. Chip a cowboy fireman said something about this air head who said something about older people shouldn’t get SS ” they paid into. That he paid into it and said she’s gonna get old someday too. That was just this year and he will never be able to collect what he paid into now. I think they should privatize it and give it to his daughters. Lucky they took his dogs he loved. I remember him fretting over one of them running off for a few days on a ranch in NM. It was like a parent fretting over his kid. He was having trouble with the medical system ” insurance” before he died. Most of my long term friends worth keeping in contact already gone.
I believe a big part of it is they are not doing good check ups. We have a apathetic medical system anymore. I know someone now fighting cancer who complained for a year to his doctor of stomach problems and finally went to the ER to find after a X ray he had cancer.
Another one a nurse got a chest X ray from work due to being exposed to but didn’t have TB to find out she did too. They found no TB but found cancer. That was what you call something unfortunate occurance turning out fortunate for her. If it wasn’t caught in time she’d probably be dead now and wants to enjoy her new grand baby now and I’m sure her grand baby her.
She is now doing juicing and macrobiotics as cancer can be quite frightening. She is Japanese and said her family doesn’t have a long life span think she was settling to die too. I told her sometimes genetics is a learned lifestyle like the food you eat or environment your in so sometimes you can make lifestyle changes to change that plus knowing watch to watch for educate yourself. Easier to preach than practice sometimes lol Now it’s glycophosphate.
Yes genetics help but these days there so many toxins plus stress these days around us it’s hard to determine anymore but don’t hurt to strive to be heathy.
What I seemed to notice from those who lived a long time was they had away to shutting themselves out of all the economic stress and you won’t see them aside from the Rothschild type that can have 8 heart transplants won’t see them worried about the stock market that’s for sure lol They have a ability to adjust to almost being a hermit enjoying the sumple things. The French lady who loved till what 120-30 something it was a cigarette wine , olive oil, and chocolate. She lived by a routine.
These days it’s harder to do because it’s like that runaway train heading for a brick wall.
I noticed the EU for instance wants to put off paying more that we tax payers got stuck with protecting them until years later, after Trump is gone. Go figure but he’s not having it.

Steam into History. It’s 1860…

This volcano vent puts out 18,000 tons of Sulfur Dioxide DAILY.  This view to the SW along the flow shows dramatically what happens.  The prevailing tradewinds come from the right side where all the greenery remains.   Downwind to the left of the flow was rich green farmland like the other side… but is now yellow death from the SO2 and acid rain.

(Don’t forget to pay your ‘Global Warming Tax’ so we can correct this!!)  [Do I need a ‘sarcasm’ tag here?]

Today I attended a double funeral in my extended ‘Ohana’ family here.   63 year old son died of cancer, and a week later his alzheimer’s mother died at 83, so the surviving daughter planned their funerals and burial together in the family plot.

Losing friends that are too young…  Decades ago I lost a friend, electronics store owner, sharp mind, athletic, marathon runner… dropped dead of a massive heart attack at age 42.   You never know.  There is longevity in my family, but my aunt was disgusted with growing old after all her friends were gone.  She had one older friend who made it to age 105, but was in poor shape in her waning years.  My aunt would curse her old age, saying “105 here I come” with a scowl on her face.   She made it to 99.  That was more than enough for her.

I try to take care of myself, with intelligent supplementation to prevent common aging problems.  No heart disease or cancer in my family tree, so I am curious to see how long I can last here.  If I outlive ‘social security’ maybe my gold stash will finally be worth a lot more… albeit inflated FRNs.

Never dive with a head COLD……As far a sinus problems I had some as a teanager living in NJ in the wintertime..

As I got older I discovered that a sinus rinse worked wonders for me ..A company named AYR produces a small kit composed of a plastic squeeze bottle and packets of SALT with Sodium Bicarb worked wonders for me .

I havent had a Sinus infection or head cold or allergy even with  the huge pollen around in the Springtime in Virginia .

Simply open one salt & bicarb packet empty it into the squeeze bottle ,add 6oz of distilled water ..In the shower or over the sink give a good squeeze into one nostrel so that the water runs out of the other nostrel,then repeat with the other nostrel…when done snort out the excess water simply by exhaling through the nose …Thats it !  dont worry the water is not going into your brain  haha…..be brave !   I do this every day or every other day and have not had a stuffy nose or head cold or any pollin problems for years ….I wish this was available when I was a teen…..It really works !You dont need to use the full 6oz at one time I just give one squirt each side in the shower and finish the rest the next day …I wouldent store it for any length of time lest it get contaminated ..If you dont shower every day as I do then just make a new batch for each use …Use only one packet and be sure to use DISTILLED water or boiled water (after it cools.)  no tap water or bottled water will do….NOT a single Sinus problem since  …really !

After what Ororeef described it probably wasn’t sinus squeeze due to congestion but sinus barotrauma maybe. Probably a ENT doctor to diagnose if they can. You both seemed to been blessed with a healthy life besides what we can do to ourselves. Just found out someone a year younger than me just died suddenly a retired firefighter. It’s really kind of depressing when everyone gets called to God and all those you have something in common with are gone. This last man or woman standing thing Maya mentioned isn’t any fun. What’s to celebrate.

…that as soon as the supreme court protesters crank up, things get much quieter on the border?

it’s almost as if there’s just one crew of protesters, and they can’t be two places at once.  likewise just one crew of media talking heads and camerapersons…

i wonder if they share the same plane shuttling back and forth between the border and d. c.

That may have been the start of life long sinus problems .

That’s why they need better teachers when their new or not trained. It’s not exactly free diving for quarters at the bottom of the pool or kids.
You and my friend would of had stories about diving including those deep ones that can make you feel drunk. He’d talk about things I didn’t understand sometimes like pounds of pressure even waves surfing. The way he made it sound all that pressure I should of been crushed.

Its hard to speculate but my guess would be that you made several dives in a short period of time ,and never equalized the pressure on the ears ..even while diving its best to stay at one level .Some experienced diver have trouble coming from a deep dive like 60 ft up to 30 ft and then find they cant get back down to 60 ft because the ears wont respond so easily.Its best to do the deepest part first then lesser levels on the way up.Your ear drums were telling you to stay at one level or risk damage.same with sinus cavitys..the nerves didnt like the up and down .They can get used to the deep ok ,but its the rapid change thats irritating .I find that the depth is not the problem ,just dont go up then try to go back down ..the body cant adjust fast if at all…In diving ,do the deepest dive first then lesser levels after.. this also good practice as it allows you to decompress gradually to prevent bends ..Do not plan on flying shortly before or after diving for the same reason…The bends are nitrogen gas bubbles forming in your blood when ascending too fast the gas can form bubbles that can get to your brain and kill you..Like a bottle of coke under pressure and then a sudden release forms bubbles ….easy does going up when diving ,do a rest stop from 60 feet at 30 feet,then again at 15 feet  to prevent bubbles in the blood…..So thats why repeated diving even to 20 feet up and down can be bad …

Divers also find that the air in their BC Buoyancy compensator the vest type thing they wear is used to maintain neutral buoyancy at any level .You will find that while ascending that you get rising too fast because the air in the BC is expanding and puts you at risk of the bends ,so you must let air out of the BC to control your ascent from a deep dive .

I suspect that if you let bubbles out slowly of your mouth while ascending you could have avoided the pain and possible a mild  case of bends ..Dont worry about running out of air do it controlled and slow as the air in your lungs is actually expanding on the way up ..as was the air trapped in your sinuses. remember to exhale slowly on the way up..

and maybe can answer a question that I have had for about 65 years . While I was a scout ( Sea Scout , actually ) we met in summer at the local yacht club . One evening instead of our regular scout meeting our leader took us to the dock to swim and dive . He had a handful of bottle caps he would throw in , which we would try to dive after . I could dive fairly deep , but eventually , he ran out of bottle caps and asked me to dive to the bottom and retrieve some that were there . The depth was probably 15 to 20 feet . I did so , but after several dives , developed a sudden , splitting headache and had to surface and stop . The headache lasted for some time…a few hours ? This was not in my ears , but in my temples – maybe in the far back sinuses ? Any ideas about what that was ?

were much younger than I imagined them to be Dr.Harris wisely administered a small sedative to them to prevent Panic and anxiety attack …He understood the Patients  as well as the dive risks ..He was probably the ONE GUY in the world they needed and were so lucky to have him….

Last guy out of the caves. He also overturned the Thais plan to take out the fittest boys first and convinced them to take out the weakest first. As below -Dr Harris administered a mild sedative to the boys none of whom could swim. Genius.

‘An Australian doctor who risked his life to save 12 soccer players trapped in a Thai cave was told his father had died just moments after the daring mission was accomplished.

Dr Richard ‘Harry’ Harris, the last person out of the Tham Luang cave system after the triumphant rescue, learned the sad news shortly after he helped the last of the boys to safety on Tuesday.’

‘The 53-year-old anaesthetist, from Adelaide, was hailed for an ingenious medical idea that helped the trapped boys stay calm during the gruelling 1.7km swim to the surface.

Deep inside the cave system, Dr Harris administered a mild sedative to the boys, ensuring the inexperienced swimmers didn’t panic in the water, The Daily Telegraph reported..’

THE HERO AUSTRALIAN DIVER: WHO IS DR RICHARD HARRIS?

Dr Harris has 30 years of diving experience and has worked on retrieving bodies from caves

Dr Harris, 53, is the son of Jim Harris who was a renowned vascular surgeon and senior consultant in Adelaide.

He has worked six years for MedStar, an aeromedical retrieval service for SA Ambulance.

He has 30 years diving experience and has worked on retrieving bodies from caves.

He famously found the body of stunt diver Agnes Milowka who ran out of air in the Tank Cave near Tantanoola in the south east of South Australia in 2011.

In the past few years, he’s been involved in cave-diving explorations in Australia, China, Christmas Island and New Zealand. He has an active interest in diving safety and accident investigation.

Dr Harris, who has 30 years of diving experience, is also well known in the cave diving community, including as the leader of record-breaking missions to explore a dangerous underwater cave system on New Zealand’s South Island.

In 2011 and 2012, he led a team of Aussie divers to record depths of 194 and 221 metres in what’s believed to be one of the world’s deepest cold water caves, searching for the source of the Pearse River.

He filmed the dangerous and complex mission for National Geographic.

The Aug 17 $14 call @ a buck call has 1293 volume–so silver has to move up–from here–only 11 cents to cover the premium…I hear that siren song…but I’m plugging my ears.

What that means to me is they want more work for US Defense Plants, US workers, or money going into the USA. I’m pretty sure USA is the go to defense provider.

and when the global economies crash , the deceleration will be brutal .

Back in the 1950’s when high speed cameras were new , there was an Air Force colonel by the name of Bill Stapp who used to be strapped into a rocket sled which had scoops on the bottom . After accelerating to ( 300 + ?) miles per hour the sled scoops would hit water and abruptly stop the sled with the cameras recording his face , with the flesh almost being torn off by the braking force . I assume the point of the experiments was to determine how fast jets could land on aircraft carriers and come to a stop abruptly without concussion for the pilots . The images were impressive and may be analogous to what lies ahead for mainstream investors .

I’m waiting for the moonshot in G&S , but have to admit that I have been decimated because of my stubborn adherence to the value of ‘real money’…physical , and the mines that produce it .
