Free at Last

free at last - 

 Out of hospital as of Sunday afternoon - back home.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER may be of GOD, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. [2Cor 4:7-9]

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [vs 17-18]

A Very Real Battle


It is not easy. It is not for cowards...but as our strength drains out, the Lord is faithful to be our strength. When we are weak, we are strong (IN Christ, our Redeemer/Saviour)
[2Cor 12:9-10]

And when there is no one around to encourage us, do as David and Joshua -- they encouraged themselves in the LORD!

Press On, Saints

Hopefully, I will see readers for a Friday posting. No matter how desperate things look, no matter how painful or challenging, do not give up.

Both Derek Prince and David Wilkerson (beloved preachers/teachers) urged people not to give up right at the end of their horrific and difficult season. 

Look at the time we are in. The rapture is closer than ever before. Look at the world situation; search the Word of God. It is all working together just as the living God [El Shaddai] foretold.

The devil is out to take as many followers of Christ [Messiah] Jesus [Yeshua], true saints of God as he can.

Wait patiently! Stay in His will no matter how much the flesh pulls at the reins 

... (the Lord has been saying this for years, but now the time is - we are too close to quit

Do not look back and long for times where God/Jesus was not first - but remember how far the Lord has brought you -- much too far to let go now. Hallelujah~



Hold fast to the arm of the living God! You can do this - WITH Christ. The Lord knows what you are capable of better than you. Look at Job - he felt like giving up, not on God - but the pain, the grief, the never-ending battle.

Ah, but the battle will end. For now, we follow the Commander-in-Chief, our trustworthy King - He is the LORD of the battle and we can rest in Him, as we march ever forward - an honour to serve such a majestic King!

Until the next post...

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the POWER of HIS might. [Eph 6:10]    

TRUST in God and His power!

TRUST in the Lord with all your heart and lean NOT to your [own] understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. [Prov 3:5,6]

There is much that we will not understand in this walk (and in battles), and ...that is where TRUST comes in. Selah

in the presence of His glory

Listen for the Still, Small Voice

NOTE*: Some editing has been done (some addition in text), as well as more pictures posted, since I posted some hours ago. BP12.22.22

Our soul waits for the Lord: He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice (be glad) in Him because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your steadfast love [mercy] O Lord, be upon us, according [even] as we hope in You. [Ps33:20-22]

Before I get to the article which I have been trying to get together and posted for almost a month now, I would like to honour a brother in the Lord Jesus/Yeshua.       

Mr. Hoang Nguyen - 57



 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. O Lord, truly I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid: You have loosed my bonds. [Ps 116:15-16]
Please join me in praying for the people in
these three areas, if you are so led
Thank you - pray for protection
from natural disaster - pray against danger
[supernatural protection] from enemies

                      In Honour of Hoang H. Nguyen

On November 23, 2022, Hoang Nguyen (57), a dear friend and brother in Christ Jesus entered into the presence of the Lord. His cremation service was held December 16, 2022.

Hoang’s sudden passing was a surprise because to my understanding, he was in good health. He had written me a quick note November 20th (email) three days before he passed, with intentions to touch base soon.

I had come out of the hospital on the 19th (Saturday) and wrote a short email explaining why I had not replied to a letter that he had written [email] almost two weeks earlier (with prayer requests for students). He quickly responded on 20 November. So, to learn that he passed a mere three days later caught me completely off-guard.

When Hoang passed unexpectedly, he was teaching mathematics at Silver Creek High (East Side) in San Jose, California. He cared for his students, even posting YouTube videos (private) to help them beyond the class time.

His parents, siblings and himself moved from Vietnam after the war, and settled in San Francisco when Hoang was only 10. Hoang graduated with engineering degrees, but soon discovered that employment was hard to come by.

As a result, he had to consider another career. Since he enjoyed people, Hoang decided to sit in on a couple of classes [elementary and high school levels] as an observer. That was the deciding factor that convinced him to pursue teaching.

Hoang was a kind-hearted, thoughtful servant of the Lord, who truly cared about the souls of others, not only those he taught, but also for those he worked with. Guaranteed none of the students or colleagues knew about his secret petitions for them.

He never gave details except that some young students were struggling (matters kept private); some students were in [unrevealed] troubling situations. Only a first name was ever given.

In his desire to help them, Hoang sought prayer for wisdom, but also for the Lord’s intervention in the lives of his students.

Our correspondence flowed randomly (off and on) over the course of not quite 11 years. Back then, he first introduced himself by leaving a few (not many) casual comments on the blog. Over time, he opted to correspond through emails rather than the comment section.

Hoang felt more comfortable asking for prayer privately, instead of on a public platform (the blog). Emails were infrequent and never lengthy (I am the lengthy writer); he was not one for writing much.

On the occasion when he did write, Hoang would encourage me to keep writing on the blog, at times ask for prayer (mostly for others), and other times to let me know he was praying for myself and my family.

Hoang loved camping and fishing, and doing odd jobs around the house, even gardening. He was a godly man who was wholly dedicated to his wife. Since they had no children, they spent a lot of time together.

One prayer Hoang appreciated deeply was the prayer for protection over his marriage, and his beloved wife of 23 years. Marriage is precious to the Lord, and it was to Hoang also. The Bible explains the union of marriage, and how it is symbolic to the relationship of Jesus with His people (church).  

The Bible states that the two become ONE flesh (inseparable) [Gen 2:24] Bless the Lord

A few years back, Hoang sent a quick note to say he was leaving California to join his wife in Maui, as she had gone ahead of him. (he had to give proper notice with the school). That was the last I heard from him for a little over a year.

The couple spent that year in Hawaii. When Hoang and Jessica both returned to San Jose, he returned to teaching. He was a faithful, loyal husband, and a dedicated child of God. He touched base again later on, when he and his wife had both settled.

Their return was before the Covid-19 pandemic was announced globally, but when schools closed, Hoang taught his students virtually until mandates lifted.

He became my friend over the years, someone who prayed for me, and in return, I respectfully prayed for him and his loved ones, and his students. That is one thing that caught brother Hoang’s attention prayer. Jesus told us to watch and PRAY.

It was something we both agreed on as being important. Prayers are priceless and immeasurable, and when intent and motive is pure before God (who judges all things well), He answers – He is the Faithful and True one.

Even though our communication was infrequent, we kept in touch off and on over the years. That is what friends and family in Christ often do…we simply pick up where we left off, even if it is months or years later.

Brother Hoang was a faithful Christian, a dedicated and loyal husband, a man who loved his family (he had many relatives), friends, students, and fellow workers.

Because my friend and I never met in person, we laughed about how: We walk by faith and not by sight[2Cor 5:7] It is one of the verses that I commonly use, and it fit perfectly.

Hoang Nguyen was a Christian man who bore good fruit. He has a crown of life awaiting him. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [Mat 5:8]

Mrs. Jessica Nguyen, you were the sparkle in your husband’s eyes, his other half. He loved you dearly; anyone who knew Hoang long enough knew this. I pray that Jesus be your Comforter, and protect you during this tender and fragile time.

May Jesus be your shield, fill you with the shalom that passes all understanding, and provide all your needs, as only He can do…for your good, for His glory.

I pray also that the Lord sends comforters who minister strength and peace to Hoang’s mother, his brothers (and their families), all extended family members, his friends, his fellow workers (colleagues), and his students.

On December 16, 2022, Hoang was cremated.

In this wee corner of Canada, dear brother Hoang H. Nguyen, we SALUTE you!

You can finally rest, my friend. Shalom in the Anointed One of Israel, Jesus, our Good Shepherd, until the day we are all with Jesus, our Saviour and Redeemer...  Amen

Time for a Good Report! 

There was a promise to share a good report, good news (we can all use some of that!), with praise and thanksgiving to Christ alone! If you will cling to Jesus no matter what the circumstances are (and yes, it can be hard to hold focus, I do realize), but if you hold fast, He will strengthen you to endure, and you will come out victoriously!


It is a matter of perspective. The way I saw it (and saw it) is if the Lord healed me (allowed me to get better), there is victory. If He chose to take me home, I still come out victoriously! It was a win-win situation.

But oh yes, there were some very rough spots; I cannot negate that. But we have to learn endurance and endure. During our trying times, there may well be tears, even some anger. There may be pressing prayer time, even moments of discouragement.

When we are weak, no matter what it was that took our strength, we find that we are vulnerable, even helpless in many things. Yet there is ONE we can turn to who will strengthen us, and help us (teach us) to endure. I testify that Jesus/Yeshua is Faithful. He will never let us down.

I was put on oxygen within an hour of my admittance to emergency on November 9, and remained on it for the full nine days, and halfway through the tenth day.

The doctor was adamant about me remaining on oxygen, so much so that he would not sign a release form day until the oxygen for home had been set up, which is why the tenth day in the hospital was tedious, waiting impatiently to be released.

Two physical therapists who did in-hospital therapy, had me walk up three stairs and down, and then measure my heart rate and oxygen levels (oxygen saturation) of the blood via a pulse oximeter; a respirologist, and a doctor all told me that I should expect to be on the oxygen long term, if not for life.

The doctor stated it would be a 30-day order, but to expect long term (possibly the rest of my life), due to scar tissue in my lungs. But God! The good doctor forgot the God factor! God is Sovereign over all.

My son was quite concerned about the equipment being returned prematurely, and concerned that I would need it. With all due respect for his concerns, I allowed sufficient time to pass so that he could be at ease.

Friends prayed; family prayed. Three-quarters of the way through the second day at home, I removed the oxygen after prayer. Even still, I have learned to be careful what I lay at the feet of the Lord.

It is understood that a great many say, ‘God said’, when perhaps He did, or perhaps He did not. The flesh (our minds) and/or the adversary, Satan, can be quite convincing that it is God speaking (copycat, counterfeit, imitator)

I do fear the Lord and do not want to mislead anyone, in any way. When you pray for wisdom, remember: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. [Prov9:10]

So it is with great care that I say that after prayer I felt directed by the Lord to carefully go about my day without oxygen. If I did mess up, meaning if I was NOT hearing from the Lord or understanding correctly, the oxygen was still in the home to fall back on.

We are in serious times. The disciples wholeheartedly serving the Lord these days are being separated from those who have mastered only lip service. Sheep being separated from sheep.

The Lord has been trying the heart for years, rotating throughout the Body of Christ. He has placed us in situations where we either learn to go higher and deeper in our trust with Him (which requires some good quality time like any relationship), or we forfeit and walk in fear (fear opposes trust). Trust too has and is being challenged, and rightfully so.

I speak of the fear that paralyzes us, hinders us from moving forward in Christ, not the reverent fear of a holy God. If we begin to wander, the Good Shepherd will call us. He will even leave the 99 to go after one lost.

All the work the Lord does in us, He has every right to prove us. Hezekiah and the Lord went through much together. The Lord even sent Isaiah the prophet back to the king after Hezekiah (who was told he would soon die) cried out to God. Isaiah returned stating that God had granted the king another 15 years of life. [2Kings 20:6]

We believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and He is. In 2Chron 32 vs 31, it is written that: […] God left him (Hezekiah), to try him that He might know all that was in his heart.

It is also written that the Lord searches the heart, and tries the reins [Jer 17:10 KJV], (tests the mind NKJV). Jesus knows the level of our trust already. We think we know, but a challenge will prove our trust one way or another.

If we are a new creation, and the Lord gives us a new heart (which happens when we are born-again) then we can expect that He will indeed be silent for a season (leave us be), to try our heart. Now, do not misunderstand me. The Lord promises that He never leaves or forsakes us.

His promise is true. Think of it this way.

When a good parent hands their child a task to do, they leave their immediate side, but will watch from a distance to see if the child performs the task, and if they do, how well they do it.

The parent is still nearby to help, if need be, but they left the immediate side of the child so the child could do the task on their own.  

I am thankful and overjoyed to report that it will be four weeks and four days as of Dec.21.2022 that no oxygen machine has been used.

There were 4 little tanks too (guess I missed
taking a picture of three)
The black bag on the left with tubing coming out
is one of the four portable tanks returned

And it took me so long to get this article posted that not only did I have to keep going back changing dates and times, but now I can happily add that all machinery, tubing, portable tanks, and bags have all been returned to the company! Liberty.

That is God alone, and I offer up thanksgiving as I exalt Him, worthy He is to be praised and glorified!

Do We Trust God With the Outcome?

Trusting God in scary times

Regarding the report on the oxygen machine and usage, is that not proof that our God is fully in control? Indeed, He can overrule any doctor’s report, but we must not be presumptuous. We must be very sure we have clearly heard Him.

If we get ahead of God, or try to force His will to be our will, we are in grave danger. As I have often stated over the years: God does not make mistakes, we do – I do.

We can get overzealous sometimes and get ahead of the Lord. We want to be sure to be in HIS will, and not acting on our will. We will not understand all the ways of the Lord, or have all our ‘why’s’ answered. We need to trust His loving wisdom.

We still go on hoping, and praying and believing… then we wait upon Jesus. It only makes sense. Do not let anyone tell you that miracles or healing no longer happen. But on the other hand, do not let anyone tell you so-and-so was not healed (or you are not healed) due to lack of faith. That’s imbalance; two extremes.

Sometimes we are healed instantly; sometimes it is a process with treatments and medicines (herbals, vitamins, minerals too), and sometimes we are not healed. I have noticed that for many moons (years) pneumonia or flu continually hit me, as if it keeps getting recycled.

I came across an article one time where a doctor suffered the same thing (repetitious respiratory ailments). Even as a doctor himself, it took decades for him to find an answer. The article came in over a month ago and I tucked it away, just so much to read sometimes. I am sure that taking Vitamin C intravenously was part of the protocol that healed him.

Just took a look at the email and yes, IV Vitamin C, plus nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Our food (due to soil) and water is so depleted now.

If you or anyone you know suffers with recycling pneumonias, head colds or viral bronchitis (the doctor who write the article, Dr. Dwight Kalita MD calls it revolving-door), I invite you to read the link below. It may help you or someone you know.

Orthomolecular Medicine by D. Kalita MD

It is something I hope to look more into myself, with the Lord’s help and guidance.

Keep pressing in; keep believing; keep waiting upon the Lord to lead. We can trust God in the scary times; we can trust Him NO MATTER the outcome, and we can trust Him WITH the outcome.

He will answer you, but patience is required. That is a tough one. And anyone who has walked with Jesus for a while can agree that it is not easy when we are suffering in any form. It can be challenging, but God's got this.

I leave it there because I do not have all the answers, but as I have said for years, ‘do not give up’ or ‘give in’. I wrote a 5-part series on it in 2018: Do not give up just at the finish line. There are prophetic words in the series that are applicable.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith [1Tim 6:12];

Can You Hear Him?

Can you hear His still, small voice?

Did Father have to bring me to the point where the very breath I draw was only if He allowed it? Yes, He did. It is easy to stray from our first love, for various and valid reasons.

To be completely dependent upon the Lord, to need Him for everything is exactly where He wants us to be. That is how it was for Adam, and later, for Eve. He created us to fellowship with Him, to be intimately close to Him. He walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Imagine.

I used to live in the mountains, the home of my heart, but He took me away from there like a steady, gentle wind. Watching the mountains fade away into the distance was like watching them be broken into pieces; my beautiful mountains – gone!

Jesus has never moved me without valid reason. Blown across the provinces of Canada, from British Columbia to Ontario, like a strong wind that could not be resisted. It was excellent weather and driving, but the further along I got, it became near-impossible to find any vacancies in lodging.

It was the most important long weekend of the year for the nation, Canada’s birthday. I had to keep going. Rest came in half hour or hour timeslots, sitting in a gas station truck stop, or rest area, or a random parking lot.

The constant driving began to shake me like an earthquake, because the constant sitting (even with a few short breaks to stretch the legs) caused swelling (circulation cut-off), and the osteoarthritis in my knees rocked my whole body with pain. It shook me…

By the sixth day, I finally arrived, but my bones were like a fire. I could barely walk, nor could I sit or stand for long. It was as if I was burning up with pain and sheer exhaustion. Quite the quandary, yet I was strengthened to endure.

All along, even if the Lord left me to try me, He had ways to keep me aware of His presence. 

* A sign that could not be missed

* three crosses [in the wilderness] by the roadside (yes, I know they were memorials, but so is the cross of Jesus when He hung between the two thieves).

3 crosses on fence - ONT

Do you know how significant that ended up being? Tirelessly, for two months, applications and phone calls went forth trying to get a rental. With only two days left (approx) before I left Alberta for Ontario, a landlord made arrangements to show the place to my son (he was already living in Ontario).

With nearly 100 applications out (perhaps in the 80s), I somehow knew that one was going to be our home. There were three crosses on the fence in the yard of the potential rental, and yes, we ended up getting the place. It is where we live now.

My son texted me the good news that the landlord was willing to rent to us. They merely awaited meeting me, so that we both could sign the papers. 

So, when I saw the three crosses on the side of the road (the only THREE together seen on the entire trip across Canada), it was a sign of the Lord's faithfulness and He was travelling with me.

To me, it stood for my son and his boy (my five-year old grandson) and myself (three [3] of us). Bless the Lord - Jesus hung between two thieves upon a rugged cross. To the one He said: "Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise." [Lk 23:43]

* Did you ever pull over into a gas station and have the opportunity to visit a church the size of a large shed, with a pastor inside waiting to speak to whosoever? I have never even heard of such a thing.

But at one of the gas stations in northeast Ontario, there was one. I was too tired and I did not go in, although I did contemplate it for about 10 minutes, before I chose to keep driving, to get it over with.

The church was by the street called Middleton (MIDDLEton) - between the world and the Lord; the physical and the spiritual.

church in gas station parking lot

Then there was the old church I saw. It was easy to see it had not been used for a very long time. The paint was peeling, the roof was missing shingles, broken windows, barred door.

battle-scarred...still standing

And though it had been around decades of seasons, and had been through much in its time, beaten down upon by heavy rains and strong winds and other stormy times (obvious by its condition), and mightily battle-scarred... it was still standing (not sign of caving in).

Two things - have you noticed? First, despite the fact the building is old and seemingly unused, the grass around it is cared for. It is not neglected or overgrown. Jesus takes care of us even in old age, or even when (we think) we are 'useless' (unused - not drawing big crowds)

The foundation itself is still strong,
the sides of the building prove that

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it did not fall: for it was founded upon a rock. [Mat 7:25]

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes in vain. [Ps 127:1]            

That is all who belong to Jesus... We will keep standing, just like Stephen did when he was being stoned to death. We who are truly in Christ will keep standing, no matter what comes against us because we have a sure foundation - because the LORD built the house.

So yes, I did see God's hand all the way through this trip. The presence of Jesus was something I was keenly aware of. Sometimes I wept from fatigue and not being able to lie down, but day after day, moment upon moment, the Lord strengthened me.

He undergirds us. We only need ask.

It takes nearly 20 hours (nonstop) to drive from the Manitoba border to where I was going in Ontario. That is how large the province of Ontario is. Needless to say, it was not nonstop. No way! 

I had to get gas and rest (close my eyes sometimes and rest). But indeed, I pushed it. The landlords were waiting, and what was normally a three, possibly four day trip for most, it took six and a chunk, due to major construction throughout the province, and heavy traffic, due to July 1 long weekend.

Why do I bring this up? If you feel like you are being blown around (tossed to and fro) relentlessly by happenings, or if you hoped for the mountaintop but watched all your plans crumble into pieces. It your world has been shaken up; or if you feel like you are in a fiery furnace, stop and listen intently.

And He said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord;

But the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind and earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire, a still, small voice.  [1King 19:11-12]

That is what you wait to hear, rarely audible. You will hear it deep down within your spirit man, Immanuel, the Good Shepherd. If you wait upon Him, despite all the things happening in the natural, you will hear the still, small voice.

Be patient. Try not to rush out of His presence. Waiting is hard for every single person, but at times, very necessary. Hopefully, you are encouraged more to not weary in the waiting. The time is upon His people…

For Now

There is so much more that has been written. The busyness is almost as if someone wanted to silence me. But all is in Abba's hands. I cling to the Vine, Jesus.

However, I would like to put up piece to honour a brother in Christ. There is much I have touched upon, so much to share: but for now, I salute a friend farewell.

Cleave to the Lord

 Bloodstained Victory Flag Flies High Over Jesus


I have already written approximately ten pages, but they need 
work. Mid-Saturday afternoon, I was released from the hospital 
after a nine (9) day stay. Returned home with oxygen. 

Yet I tell you (and this is something I have written for nearly two decades because of the Holy Spirit opening my eyes to it -- and it is woven into many articles throughout the archives), but it is this:

... evil was thought against me, but God meant it for good, OR paraphrased, what Satan meant for evil, God meant for good. The Words caught my attention in the Bible many moons ago.

It comes from the story of Joseph, after he revealed his identity to his brothers who had sold him into slavery. They did not recognize Joseph because it had been many years and he had grown from a youth into a young man. 

They were afraid and spoke about forgiveness, as they fell prostrate before Joseph, willing to be his servants. Yet the Holy Spirit moved upon Joseph:

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God. But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.[Gen 50:18-20]

Joseph forgave the very brothers who betray him.

The hospital was a literal battle zone, yet I tell you when I got home I did indeed see the bloodstained victory flag in the hand of our Jesus, precious Messiah. Good reports to follow...

Three Things to Watch and Pray About


Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy 
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. [Lk 21:36]

Judas spirit

persecution

target

These words were brought up in past years. The Lord is faithful to warn. "Target" (and variations of the word, meaning suffixes: 's', 'ing', 'ed) pertains to Christians for the most part, being targeted by evil forces both supernaturally [spiritual realm] and physical realm. There is an agenda. 

The entire world's nations and their populations are being ''targeted" by the global elite, whose desire is to decrease the number of people in the world from eight billion [8,000,000,000] to five-hundred million [500,000,000].

Jesus Christ is one who will help us to keep strong. When we are afraid, we can run to Him. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. [Ps 46:1]

The Lord wove the information throughout certain books in the Bible pertaining to this remote generation, these latter days, the last of the last days. Daniel, Ezekiel, and John the Revelator [book of Revelation].

There is much to share. Lord willing, I will post tomorrow.

for His glory

Bonita                         dovesofthevalleys4@gmail.com

Addendum: (Added Dec 3, 2022): 

From now on, I shall not say when I will post or lay it at the feet of our Lord. Of course, all things are IF He is willing. That, to me, is a given when our life is surrendered to Him - yet I keep learning. Indeed, in my heart it shall always be, and I will  say, Lord willing.

From now on though, I will not post a TIME frame. It is a real battle, a real life, with much going on in the world. The increase in 'everything' for most people is undeniable. Never have I been so busy since I came out of the hospital - and I am not even involved in travel, meetings, interviews or such things that demand an individual's time, so to speak of an increase in activity and busyness is actually saying quite a mouthful.

There are GOOD reports, with thanksgiving for grace, mercy and love, to the glory of God through Jesus alone. Step by step, day by day, as I have said many times, we can trust God. Never give up. Never stop hoping.

It is written: 

Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. [Prov13:12]

The hope of all who believe is in Christ [in us], the hope of glory. [Col 1:27]

The War on Truth

[Note* - Updated: September 29, 2021- BP]

Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [Phil 4:6-7]

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: [Is 26:3-4]

I believe that it is important for anyone (especially those who profess to love God and stand for truth at all costs) share publicly all firsthand information regarding their experience with COVID-19 and any medicines that helped. It takes courage to be candid about difficult subjects, particularly when the “experts” have caused an incredible global rift, dividing the people against each other (vaccinated versus unvaccinated). This is only part of their wicked agenda.

Was it COVID-19 or Old-fashioned Seasonal Flu? [I Say the Latter]

On a Friday (September 3, 2021), I had attended a meeting where a small group of us share a meal and communion, worship and listen to and discuss scripture. {There was also a meeting the next day (September 4th), where other individuals attended, so I am unsure of the day I contracted the flu}. 

Several of us ended up sick, from which meeting remains uncertain. One person from the Friday meeting had recently gotten over COVID-19. Whether or not that person was a carrier is not important. Things happen in life, and making others ill was not intentional, I’m sure.

My point is that by Monday, September 6 (2021), I was incredibly unwell. It had started with a sore throat and a dry cough. I had gargled with sea salt water, which helped temporarily, but it returned and by the third day after the meeting, the flu hit hard. Whether it was the old-fashioned kind of seasonal flu or COVID is up for speculation. Every flu and cold goes under the COVID umbrella these days.

Sore throat, dry cough, fever, chills, body aches and pains, shortness of breath, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, vertigo – the whole nine yards. By the fourth day, I was reaching out asking friends and family for prayer. It was then that I found out that another sister in Christ was also unwell, same symptoms. I began to ingest about 3000 IU of Vitamin C/day, along with 3-1000 of Vitamin D. A week passed.

A close friend brought over vitamins, minerals and yes, Ivermectin. Unfortunately, there was only enough for one dose (half a teaspoon, if that), and it was gone. I was already a week into the illness when the Ivermectin arrived. Another week passed before my friends (a married couple) could bring me more, as they had fallen ill themselves. For them to bring more medicines was a  great expression of selfless love, to which I acknowledged gratefully.

Whilst they were still here, I took the second half teaspoon of Ivermectin, zinc, magnesium and vitamins C and D. At this point I had been sleeping approximately 20 out of 24 hours per day for nearly a week. Friends from the group were concerned and prayed. The Lord heard and answered their prayers, and I am thankful. The second dose saw improvement. Sleep changed to 14-15 hours, still a lot, but better.

My friends, who were still not 100% themselves, testified that they had begun to feel better with the Ivermectin. The person who had already recovered from Covid had also taken Ivermectin. This particular strain of flu came in waves. However, after the second dose, the chills, fever and sore throat dissipated.

The body aches and pains diminished. The diarrhea and dry cough were a tad slower in correcting, but there still was a noticeable difference. Unfortunately, I have had pneumonia about five times in the past two years. Though treated with antibiotics (and steroids once), which helps me recover, it is almost as if some slight inflammation remains hidden somewhere in the lungs so that it recycles in two or three months. Whether it is due to scar tissue or inflammation, my breathing is laboured after little exertion.

I cannot remember feeling as sick as I did three weeks ago. After another week passed, I was told to take the third half teaspoon of Ivermectin. The third dose did it; I had also continued to (and still do) take zinc, vitamin C and D. I felt alive and hopeful again, mere hours after the third and final dose - perhaps eight hours.

A week had already passed when I took the first 2ml (1/2 teaspoon) of Ivermectin, skip a day. Take the second dose (2ml) ivermectin. Wait a week, take third and final dose of Ivermectin. Viola! No hospitalization or doctor’s visit. Medicine, prayer and the grace and mercy of God. 

All that lingers, which I find annoying, is the fatigue (but it surely is nowhere near what it was, yet I find I still need to rest two or three times in a day, but they are naps). The other lingering annoyance is the breathing when I do any walking about or chores. 

The reason I go into detail about the Ivermectin is that, like many others, I was somewhat skeptical due to the conflicting reports. Most of the reports about the medicine were negative because it was originally introduced as parasitic infection medicine for livestock, yet good reports could be found if one dug deep enough. 

All the negativity made it difficult to make an informed decision. But I now know of six people, myself included, that have taken Ivermectin and fully recovered, all various ages, but adults from mid-age to elderly.

Two people out of the group tested positive for Covid. I do not know about the others yet, or even if they were tested. At the time of this writing, it’s only been about eight days since I took that 3rd dose of Ivermectin. I had had two Covid tests in the past that were negative (February and April 29, 2021). Once it was pneumonia and in April, the hospital doctor simply called it a “lung infection”. When this hit, despite concerned friends, I was not tested for Covid.

I do not want this article to be about me, but my heart is to share enough testimony that people gain more truth to help in their own decision-making. It was not out of foolishness that I resisted going to the hospital. The fact remains that people with breathing issues are typically put on ventilators. That was not something I wanted. The last episode at the hospital in April this year kept me away this time.

No one likes to be used as a training puppet. Three nurses took turns on me. I ended up with a blown vein on each arm, plus a total of seven misses (four on the left, three on the right). It was the worst experience I have ever had in a hospital, and I have had a few.

CAUTION: Pictures are GRAPHIC. You may want to scroll past them if you are sensitive to such things. but if you do see them, perhaps you can see why I hesitate to go to my local hospital. It is not the first time I had a bad experience, just the last time.

Extensive bruising (discolouration) and swelling

I will not say who they are, but two people very close to me have been vaccinated; one about two months ago, the other a few weeks ago. One is sick now and has had to take time off work (she has been in my prayers, and I’ve heard she is better). Praise God! The other is not sick, but has been having menstrual problems (may God protect her as well). These are two healthy, young working women who chose to get vaccinated, and there are complications. Why? 

I am not anti-vax. Polio, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, I’ve had them all. I had one flu shot about 20 years ago and decided it did me no good, so indeed, I am not anti-vax. However, these Covid vaccines have not been thoroughly tested. Not only were companies rushing it through (likely for profit), but they also contain questionable and even dangerous ingredients.

There is one more thing I would like to add. The propaganda and the hype that mocking journalists and news reporters are parroting is the fact that Ivermectin is a parasitic infection medicine for livestock and domestic pets (horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs and cats). They laugh, ridiculing people who take Ivermectin, stating, “these people are eating paste for horses to treat covid-19!” It is true that  the medicine is used to prevent or treat external and internal parasites and comes in liquid, paste or spray.

Do you not understand that there is an agenda, a “push” for everyone globally to get vaccinated? It goes deeper than just for profit, much deeper, but I will not get into here. Ivermectin was first approved for humans use (tablet form) to treat river blindness back in 1981. It was FDA approved in 1996. In topical form it is used to treat head lice, body lice, scabies, roundworms, rosacea and other parasitic conditions. 

So, humans have been treated with Ivermectin for 40 years. Like innumerable medicines, there is a danger of overdosing, but people are not looking at things from that perspective. Overdoses happen with prescriptions such as muscle relaxants, Tylenol with codeine and multiple other medicines. Body weight is key in determining the amount of Ivermectin one should ingest. Underlying medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease, or allergic reactions should be considered. This is true with any medicine.

One might laugh and say that unless a person weighs the same as a horse or cow, ‘obviously’ one would reduce the amount. However, keep in mind the weight differences between children and adults, as well as their build, whether slight, medium or husky. That is common sense. Professional advice should be sought; speaking to those who know the recommended dose in milligrams/micrograms per kilogram of body weight and can advise the safe dosage per person. 

IMPORTANT NOTE*:

[Please pay particular attention to: #18, #22, #24, and #25, #28 and #36 of Lt. Col. Theresa Long's affidavit below - especially regarding the ingredient called Polyethylene glycol ("PEG"), an active ingredient in antifreeze (#28 mentions an ingredient that comes with a "skull and crossbones" symbol indicative of "poisonous")]

Obviously, in this day and age, I must make a disclaimer. I cannot tell you that Ivermectin will protect or heal you of Covid-19, nor do I tell you to use it if or when you come down with a cold or flu. I am giving my personal opinion only, and my own personal firsthand account as one who took the medicine when I was already one week into the throes of a flu.

This time I did not have a COVID test, so I cannot say what “kind” of flu it was. I only know that two others from the Friday group tested positive. I used Ivermectin safely, along with vitamins and minerals. Going from past experience, I tend to think that what I had was what was once considered the ‘normal’ seasonal flu, but again, I cannot state that as fact.

I rely on the symptoms I suffered from past flues growing up and in early adulthood, including a couple of nasty colds. Do we even hear about regular flu and colds anymore? No – everything is labeled “COVID” now. Admittedly, I was skeptical due to conflicting reports, but the positive reports were there, just harder to find. In my opinion, Ivermectin helped my symptoms, along with vitamins and minerals, without any side effects. I have no credentials to make recommendations nor am I qualified to give any medical advice. I am allowed to share my testimony which hopefully helps people to make their own informed and wise decisions. That is all any of us “non-experts” (lay people) can do, share truth.

What I find troubling is the rift it is putting between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, even dividing some families. If one is vaccinated, you're protected, aren't you, so why get upset about the unvaccinated? Keep searching and researching; you will find the truth if you are persistent. You may not like it, but it can be found.

Something to Consider – Simply the Facts

Here is a link that gives the number of flu deaths (before COVID), from 2010 to 2019, according to CDC (gov): https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

It is interesting that El Salvador hands out a “Covid Package” for citizens (patients) that fall ill with Covid-19. The government-approved package includes:

Acetaminophen (for pain) – 500 mg 

Vitamin C (500 mg)

Vitamin D3 (2000 IU)

zinc (50 mg)

aspirin to prevent clots (100 mg)

package of Ivermectin tablets (undisclosed amount)

Former VP and CSO for Pfizer Gives Warning

Interestingly, Dr. Michael Yeadon, the “FORMER” Vice President and Chief Science Officer for PFIZER (yes, the same Pfizer who provides a vaccine) gave this warning in March of this year, 2021.

The following information comes from a post on the website of State of the Nation.

Excerpt:

Dr. Michael Yeadon:I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the world’s population…I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil…and dangerous products [the gene-based vaccines].”

Basing his observation on his 40-year medical research career, Dr. Yeadon believes the vaccines are often lethal and serve only one conceivable purpose: depopulation. [1]

Bioweapon Number 1 deployed by the Global Power Elite is a lab-engineered virus, very infectious, but actually less deadly than the seasonal flu. As Dr. Thomas Binder M.D., a specialist in immunology and virology, with 32 years’ experience in diagnosing acute respiratory disease explains:

COVID-19...“is not a mass murderer. The most recent realistic estimate of the global IFR [Infection Fatality Rate] is 0.15%, below 0.05% for under 70s. After replacing the number of deceased within 28 days with a positive PCR test on whatever cause by the number of deceased from COVID-19, it is even much lower, well below that of seasonal influenza…SARS-CoV-2, self-evidently occurs seasonally from November to April and mutates, without human intervention, in such a way that it becomes ever more contagious but less dangerous.”

"Evidence suggests the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for causing COVID-19 illness was made in the USA in government biowarfare laboratories, then possibly fine-tuned in China using gain-of-function research funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The bioweapon may have been released by US operatives in October 2019 at the World Military Games, when 300 American military servicemen were in Wuhan."

“No one in the Chinese government was aware of the outbreak until the end of December. However, as early as November 2019, our Defense Intelligence Agency [US DIA] had distributed a secret report to government officials warning that a ‘cataclysmic’ disease outbreak was taking place in Wuhan…The secret DIA report was prepared more than a month before anyone in the Chinese government discovered the outbreak.” [3]

Medicine can Help, but Healthy Body Better

The reason I chose to give my personal testimony was to lay a foundation in order to present an article that came across my desk yesterday. I think it is important to share information that is often censored or blocked on many sites, in order to help each other to separate the truth from the lies, and facts from propaganda. It is getting harder to find truth, and taking more courage to share truth.

But here is an important truth that also must be said. Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are still medicines, and can give people side effects. Now, with the flu, I had headache, nausea (nauseous: only a couple of days, which were not side by side) and diarrhea. I also had some experience with vertigo. Now, two other friends of mine were also sick with a nasty flu, one in Finland and another in the States.

My beloved friend in the States suffered loss of taste and smell, but it returned after she prayed. However, she was unwell the same time as me and others. My other beloved friend is in Finland. He suffered the exact symptoms I did. I was very concerned because he is in his 80s, but his loving wife did an excellent job of taking care of him, yet he put all his trust in the Lord. He is recovered now.

My point is this. Despite the good that medicines accomplish, how would I know if I was suffering flu symptoms or side effects from the medicine, seeing as some of the side effects of both Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are headache, dizziness, nausea and diarrhea (amongst other ones)? I was blessed in that I began with all those symptoms and for me, they began clearing up when I took the medicine. But what about those who are having side effects from the medicine and they think it is part of the sickness?

Those in power have seen to it that good and nutritious food is hard to get, with GMOs, pesticides and fertilizers, fluoride and chlorine, chemicals and much more in our food and water. Pure organic food is expensive. So is grass-fed beef and poultry, that have not been inundated with antibiotics, hormones or steroids, if you can find these farms.

I got into bad habits over the years due to the work I’ve done, writing, editing, researching. It requires hours of sitting. I remember years ago, when I was living in the States, working 28 and 23 hours straight, getting up from the desk only for bathroom breaks and to grab some food and beverage. 

Even though I was working hard (sometimes exhausted to the point of tears to accomplish deadlines), my lifestyle became sedentary and health issues began to occur. I still take ownership; the responsibility of neglect.

Yes, medicine such as Ivermectin and Tylenol 3 with codeine has helped me, but it is not how I want to live. I fell into poor eating habits because (1) I live alone (2) it is easy to grab a sandwich or fast food in order to keep working. Over the years, one reaps what they have sown. With God’s help, I am praying that now that I am better from the flu, if He would help me to find a good diet for myself and to help me begin to be active again.

He already chastised me to not spend so much time on the computer. Now I need his help to afford good food and get into eating properly and exercising. It will take some time, but I do believe God is speeding some things up because of the time we are in – everything is moving extremely fast these days. So, if I can, I would like to encourage you the way the Lord encouraged me.

If we put the right food in our body, and drink good water, and exercise we will reap the rewards. If we spend time with our good Creator, praying and staying in His Word and in His will, He will direct our steps and keep us on the right path. Medicines can help heal and have their place, but I would much rather be off them, and am willing to change my lifestyle and eating habits to accomplish it. 

I have repented for not looking after this temple, even if it was honest work that started me down the slippery slope, I could have halted it, but did not. Now is the time…and hope all who read this do so as well, if they too have fallen into bad habits. We need to be as fit as possible for what is coming. God will help us individually, if we trust Him and follow His lead.

I had to clarify the importance of food, exercise and looking after one’s self. Thank God for medicine and healing herbs, but thank God for any wisdom, strength, courage and correction He gives us to discipline ourselves and to be the best that we can be.

Army Doctor & Aerospace Medicine Specialist LTC. Theresa Long calls on Pentagon to ground ALL pilots that have taken COVID shots

Lt. Col. Theresa Long is an Aerospace Medicine Specialist, as well as an army doctor. Below is an article posted by journalist Tim Brown yesterday, September 27, 2021. I applaud Dr. Long’s courage and her determination to be heard, even going to the lengths of putting all her findings into an affidavit, with hope and intent that action will be taken to protect people. Her credentials are impressive. The risk she takes in presenting her observations, assessments and evaluations is obvious, especially since many others have lost their jobs, their reputation and worse for blowing the whistle.

The Article by Tim Brown – posted September 27, 2021

(the first link is to a separate article in Washington Times, written by Sean Salai - another interesting read)

Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, who is an Army Doctor and Aerospace Medicine Specialist, provided an affidavit in which she recommends the Secretary of Defense to ground all pilots that have received the COVID shots

(above link: Washington Times - Sean Salai (journalist)

Experience & Credentials

3. I am competent to testify to the facts and matters set forth herein. A true and accurate copy of my curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

4. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas Austin, completed my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School in 2008. I served as a Field Surgeon for ten years and went on to complete a residency in Aerospace and Occupational Medicine at the United States Army School of Aviation Medicine, Fort Rucker, AL. I hold a Master’s in Public Health, and I have been trained by the Combat Readiness Center at Ft. Rucker as an Aviation Safety Officer. Additionally, I have trained in the Medical Management of Chemical and Biological Causalities at Fort Detrick and USAMIIRD.

5. I am board certified in flight Aerospace Medicine and board eligible in Occupational Medicine.

6. I am currently serving as the Brigade Surgeon for the 1st Aviation Brigade Ft. Rucker, Alabama and am responsible for certifying the health, mental and physical ability, and readiness for all nearly 4,000 individuals on flight status on this post.

7. My appended curriculum vitae further demonstrates my academic and scientific achievements by me over the past thirteen years.

8. Prior to the outset of the pandemic, I received specialized military training from Infectious Disease doctors from the Army, Navy and Air Force on emerging infectious disease threats, FEMA training, Emergency preparedness training, Medical effects of Ionizing Radiation, OSHA, Aerospace Toxicology, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, medical research and disaster planning. More recently I have functioned as a medical and scientific advisor to an Aviation training Brigade seeking to identify risk mitigation strategies, and bio statistical analysis of SARS- Cov-2 (“Covid 19”) infections in both vaccinated and unvaccinated Soldiers. In so doing, I have identified, diagnosed and treated Covid 19 pathogenic infections. I have observed vaccine adverse events following the administration of EUA vaccines, and followed the success of Soldiers who obtained various Covid 19 therapies outside the military. The majority of the service members within the DOD population are young and in good physical condition. Military aviators are a subset of the military population that has to meet the most stringent medical standards to be on flight status. The population of student pilots I take care of are primarily in their 20s-30s, males and in excellent physical condition. The risk of serious illness or death in this population from SARs-CoV-2 is minimal, with a survival rate of 99.997%.

9. In observing, studying and analyzing all the available data, information, samples, experiences, histories and results of these treatments and inoculations provided, I have formulated a professional opinion, which requires me to report those findings to superiors in the chain of command and colleagues in the military. I have done so with mixed results in terms of acceptance, rejection and threats of punishment for so sharing.

10. The application of risk management is critical to the safety and success in both medicine and aviation. Aerospace Medicine is a specialty devoted to safety of flight by the aeromedical dispositioning and treatment of flight crew members, as accomplished by the consistent and careful application of risk mitigation and management strategies. ATP 5-19, 1-3. Risk Management (RM)1 outlines a disciplined approach to express a risk level in terms readily understood at all echelons.

Case 1:21-cv-02228-RM-STV Document 17 Filed 09/24/21 USDC Colorado Page 7 of 269

11. 1-6. States, “A risk decision is a commander, leader, or individual’s determination to accept or not accept. The risk(s) associated with an action he or she will take or will direct others to take. RM is only effective when specific information about hazards and risks is passed to the appropriate level of command for a risk decision. Subordinates must pass specific risk information up the chain of command.”

12. “When the specific information about hazards and risks is passed to the appropriate level of command for a risk decision. Subordinates must pass specific risk information up the chain of command. Conversely, the higher command must provide subordinates making risk decisions or implementing controls with the established risk tolerance—the level of risk the responsible commander is willing to accept. RM application must be inclusive; those executing an operation and those directing it participate in an integrated process”.

13. 1-7. States, “In the context of RM, a control is an action taken to eliminate a hazard or to reduce its risk. Commanders establish local policies and regulations if appropriate”.

14. The five steps of Risk management include; 1. Identify the hazards, 2. Assess the hazards, 3. Develop controls and make risk decisions, 4. Implement controls, 5. Supervise and evaluate.

15. It is therefore my responsibility and that of every leaders to apply the steps of risk management to the current pandemic and countermeasures used. The CDC and the FDA are civilian agencies that do not have the mission of National Defense that the DOD has. Guidance and recommendations made by these civilian agencies must be filtered through strategic perspective of national defense and the potential risks recommendations may have on the health of the entire fighting force. Ensuring that the health of the fighting force is not compromised is a strategic imperative, for which every military physician is responsible to of the entire fighting force. Ensuring that the health of the fighting force is not compromised is a strategic imperative, for which every military physician is responsible to ensure.

16. Step 1: Identify the hazards: As defined by FM 1-02.1 Operational Terms, pg. 1- 48, hazard is a condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or mission degradation.

17. Step 2: Assess the Hazards: There are numerous therapeutic agents that have been proven to significantly reduce infection and therefore provide protection from the harmful effects of SARs-CoV-2.

18. Literature has demonstrated that natural immunity is durable, completed, and superior to vaccination immunity to SARs-CoV-2. mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna both have been linked to myocarditis, especially in young males between 16-24 years old,2 The majority of young new Army aviators are in their early twenties. We know there is a risk of myocarditis with each mRNA vaccination. We additionally now know that vaccination does not necessarily prevent infection or transmission of SARs-CoV-2Therefore individuals fully vaccinated with mRNA vaccines have at least two independent risk factors for myocarditis after vaccination. Additional boaster shots add more risk. It is impossible to perform a risk/benefit analysis on the use of mRNA as counter measures to SARs-CoV-2 without further data… Use of mRNA vaccines in our fighting force, presents a risk of undetermined magnitude, in a population in which less than 20 active-duty personnel out of 1.4 million, died of the underlying SARs- CoV-2.

19. Aircrew Training Program (ATP) 5-19, 1-8. Accept No Unnecessary Risk, states, “An unnecessary risk is any risk that, if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly endanger lives or resources. Army leaders accept only a level of risk in which the potential benefit outweighs the potential loss.

20. Research shows that most individuals with myocarditis do not have any symptoms. Complications of myocarditis include dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and carries a mortality rate of 20% at one year and 50% at 5 years. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, “despite optimal medical management, overall mortality has not changed in the last 30 years”.

21. Step 3: Develop controls and make risk decisions: Because vaccination with mRNA increase the risk of myocarditis, a comprehensive screening program should be implemented immediately to identify individuals who have been affected and attempt to mitigate immediate risks and long-term disability.

22. Step 4: Implement Controls: Send out clear guidance to all DOD healthcare professionals on risks of-vaccination myocarditis. Compulsory SARs-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination program should be immediately suspended until research can be done to determine the true magnitude of risk of myocarditis in individuals who have been vaccinated. We must evaluate and immediately implement alternatives to mRNA vaccines, to include Ivermectin (FDA approved 1996), Remdesivir (FDA approved 2020), Hydroxychloroquine (FDA approved 1955), Regeneron (FDA EU approved 2020). Review VAERS data for deaths from COVID for age-matched data and data from active duty COVID deaths within the DOD to perform a risk/benefit analysis.

23. Step 5: Supervise and evaluate: We must establish a screening program to identify those at increased risk of myocarditis, i.e. those that have, received mRNA vaccinations with Comirnaty, BioNTech or Moderna, or have any of the following symptoms chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations They should have screening tested performed in accordance with the CDC recommendations prior to return to flight duties. Per the CDC guidelines the initial evaluation of individuals identified according to the above criteria include; ECG, troponion level, inflammatory markers such as the C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It should be noted that the gold standard for diagnosis of myocarditis is end myocardial biopsy (EMB).

24. Given that the labels for Comirnaty and BioNtech clearly state that the vaccination should not be given to individuals that are allergic to ingredients. I have noted that one of the primary ingredients of the Lipid Nanoparticle delivery system is “ALC 1035” (two attachments, parts highlighted) in the Pfizer shots. The forth attachment is the toxicity report on ALC-1035, which comprises between 30-50% of the total ingredients.3 The Safety Data Sheet, (attached as Exhibit B) for this primary ingredient states that it is Category 2 under the OSHA HCS regulations (21 CFR 1910) and includes several concerning warnings, including but not limited to:

•  Seek medical attention if it comes into contact with your skin;

•  If inhaled and If breathing is difficult, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation

•  Evacuate if there is an environmental spill

•  the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been completely investigated

•  Caution: Product has not been fully validated for medical applications. For research use only

25. Other journals and scientific papers also denote that this particular ingredient has never been used in humans before.4 To be abundantly clear, one of the listed primary ingredients of these injectables is Polyethylene glycol (“PEG”) which is a derivative of ethylene oxide. Polyethylene Glycol is the active ingredient in antifreeze. While it is hard to believe this is a key ingredient in these vaccines, it would explain the increased cardiovascular risk to users of the BioNTech or Comirnaty shots. I cannot discern what form of alchemy Pfizer and the FDA have discovered that would make antifreeze into a healthful cure to the human body. Others seem to agree my point per recent scientific studies that caused a group of 57 doctors and scientists to call for an immediate halt to the vaccination program.5 In short, this antifreeze ingredient is being studied for the first time in human injectables. According to the VAERS data, which admittedly underreports by as much as 100 times the actual SAE’s, there are well more than 600,000 documented Serious Adverse Events (ones requiring medical attention) alone and more than 13,000 fatalities directly linked to this particular vaccine. I cannot understand how this vaccine remains on the list of available options to treat Covid, when there are so many other non-deadly or injurious options available.

26. As such, I believe it is reasonable to conclude that many humans are allergic to these dangerous and deadly toxins and therefore should not take vaccinations with either Comirnaty or BioNtech. Again, I have identified an agent that possess a significant hazard to Soldiers, which would fall under DA Pam 385-61 Toxic Safety Standards cited in 2-11.

27. My assessment is that ALC 0315 is a known toxin with little study, specifically restricted to “research only” and effectively has no prior use history, with the SDS designation of (GHS02), listed as H315 and H319, in other words, hazardous if inhaled, ingested or in contact with skin and a health hazard with the designation (P313). A review of the SDS outlines that it is not for human or veterinary use,

28. I have not taken significant time to delineate the risks of other Covid 19 Vaccines other than the Safety Data Sheet of Moderna’s key ingredient, SM-102 (attached as Exhibit C). Suffice it to say that SM-102 is significantly more dangerous than the Pfizer ALC 3015 and it appears that the DOD is not actively acquiring or distributing this IND/EUA. If the DOD were to undertake use of the Moderna vaccine, one can expect a much higher Serious Adverse Event and fatality rate given that SM-102 carries an express warning “Skull and Crossbones” characterized under the GHS06 and GHS08. In other words, this Moderna ingredient is deadly.

29. Given that these Covid 19 Vaccines were both Investigational New Drugs and Emergency Use Authorization vaccines, I have taken considerable time to understand potential risks, hazards and dangers these and any new drug or Investigational New Drug will may have on the health, safety and operational readiness or ability of pilots under my care and at this post. I have sought to research military records and track systems for recording events and Serious Adverse Events and fatalities associated with vaccines, new vaccines and Emergency Use, investigational vaccines in computer data systems recommended by the General Accounting Office in 2002 and ordered to be developed and implemented by the Secretary of Defense in 2003.

30. A weekly MEDSITREP report fails to report the CDC data from VAERS or internal data regarding vaccine adverse events. Despite recommendation made by the Government Accountability Office in the GAO’s survey of Guard and Reserve Pilots and Aircrew GAO-02-445, published Sep 20,2002, in which it was recommended that the Secretary of Defense should direct the establishment of an active surveillance program (unlike the passive VAERS) to identify and monitor adverse events, was not implemented. I have been unable to locate, access or asses any data, data base or internal system to track, store, evaluate or research the effects of vaccines on our military members or pilots.

31. I have also reviewed scientific data and peer reviewed studies that discuss, analyze results and conclude that natural immunity is at least as good if not far superior to any Covid Vaccine available at this time. I have also reviewed Dr. Peter McCullough’s sworn affidavit in support of and in relation to the Complaint filed in this case and have reviewed its supporting data. An additional peer-reviewed study not referenced in Dr. McCullough’s materials also supports the same conclusions drawn and reports that natural immunity provides a 13-fold better protection against Covid 19 infections than any currently available Covid 19 Vaccine6. More recently, in a meeting of the FDA Advisory Committee on September 17 of this year, fourteen of seventeen members voted against the authorization of any Covid booster vaccines in the juvenile age group having noted that the vaccine program has breached the defining test under the EUA statute as to whether the experimental treatment benefits outweigh the risks; in fact, they found the shots are far more dangerous than helpful in this age group and some voiced concerns that this would apply generally to all age groups.7

32. I am also aware of the Secretary of Defense Austin’s order in relation to Covid Vaccine mandates made this week. In an information paper, it was stated that, “Unit personnel should use only as much force as necessary to assist medical personnel with immunizations.” The use of force to administer a medical treatment or therapy against the will of a mentally competent individual constitutes medical battery and universally violates medical ethics. Currently, I am not aware of the Comirnaty available within the DOD. Emergency Use Authorized vaccines, despite the attempt to characterize some of them as approved despite such approved versions not being available and regardless of a military member’s prior immunity to Covid 19; even where it may be demonstrated with a recent antibody test.

33. Finally, I have reviewed a recent study entitled “US COVID-19 Vaccines Proven to Cause More Harm than Good Based on Pivotal Clinical Trial Data Analyzed Using the Proper Scientific Endpoint, All Cause Severe Morbidity,” by J. Bart Classen, MD and published in Trends in Internal Medicine; August 25, 2021. Attached as Exhibit D.

34. I have also seen policies, memoranda and guidance as it relates to exemptions for vaccinations as fully detailed in Army Regulation 40-562, which purport to eliminate any exemption for prior immunity by our military personnel.

Opinion

35. I have reviewed the Motion for a Preliminary Injunction which discusses the issue of prior immunity benefits outweighing the risks of using experimental Covid 19 Vaccines, together with proposed exhibits and materials cited therein. In opinion on this subject matter, I am also drawing my own conclusions that will be put into practice in my current role as an Army flight surgeon knowing full well the horrific repercussions this decision may befall me in terms of my career, my relationships and life as an Army doctor.

36. I personally observed the most physically fit female Soldier I have seen in over 20 years in the Army, go from Colligate level athlete training for Ranger School, to being physically debilitated with cardiac problems, newly diagnosed pituitary brain tumor, thyroid dysfunction within weeks of getting vaccinated. Several military physicians have shared with me their firsthand experience with a significant increase in the number of young Soldiers with migraines, menstrual irregularities, cancer, suspected myocarditis and reporting cardiac symptoms after vaccination. Numerous Soldiers and DOD civilians have told me of how they were sick, bed-ridden, debilitated, and unable to work for days to weeks after vaccination. I have also recently reviewed three flight crew members’ medical records, all of which presented with both significant and aggressive systemic health issues. Today I received word of one fatality and two ICU cases on Fort Hood; the deceased was an Army pilot who could have been flying at the time. All three pulmonary embolism events happened within 48 hours of their vaccination. I cannot attribute this result to anything other than the Covid 19 vaccines as the source of these events. Each person was in top physical condition before the inoculation and each suffered the event within 2 days post vaccination. Correlation by itself does not equal causation, however, significant causal patterns do exist that raise correlation into a probable cause; and the burden to prove otherwise falls on the authorities such as the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. I find the illnesses, injuries and fatalities observed to be the proximate and causal effect of the Covid 19 vaccinations.

38. I can report of knowing over fifteen military physicians and healthcare providers who have shared experiences of having their safety concerns ignored and being ostracized for expressing or reporting safety concerns as they relate to COVID vaccinations. The politicization of SARs-CoV-2, treatments and vaccination strategies have completely compromised long-standing safety mechanisms, open and honest dialogue, and the trust of our service members in their health system and healthcare providers.

39. The subject matter of this Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and its devastating effects on members of the military compel me to conclude and conduct accordingly as follows:

  1. a)  None of the ordered Emergency Use Covid 19 vaccines can or will provide better immunity than an infection-recovered person;
  2. b)  All three of the EUA Covid 19 vaccines (Comirnaty is not available), in the age group and fitness level of my patients, are more risky, harmful and dangerous than having no vaccine at all, whether a person is Covid recovered or facing a Covid 19 infection;
  3. c)  Direct evidence exists and suggests that all persons who have received a Covid 19 Vaccine are damaged in their cardiovascular system in an irreparable and irrevocable manner;
  4. d)  Due to the Spike protein production that is engineered into the user’s genome, each such recipient of the Covid 19 Vaccines already has micro clots in their cardiovascular system that present a danger to their health and safety;
  5. e)  That such micro clots over time will become bigger clots by the very nature of the shape and composition of the Spike proteins being produced and said proteins are found throughout the user’s body, including the brain;
  1. f)  That at the initial stage of this damage the micro clots can only be discovered by a biopsy or Magnetic Resonance Image (“MRI”) scan;
  2. g)  That due to the fact that there is no functional myocardial screening currently being conducted, it is my professional opinion that substantial foreseen risks currently exist, which require proper screening of all flight crews.
  3. h)  That, by virtue of their occupations, said flight crews present extraordinary risks to themselves and others given the equipment they operate, munitions carried thereon and areas of operation in close proximity to populated areas.
  4. i)  That, without any current screening procedures in place, including any Aero Message (flight surgeon notice) relating to this demonstrable and identifiable risk, I must and will therefore ground all active flight personnel who received the vaccinations until such time as the causation of these serious systemic health risks can be more fully and adequately assessed.
  5. j)  That, based on the DOD’s own protocols and studies, the only two valuable methodologies to adequately assess this risk are through MRI imaging or cardio biopsy which must be carried-out.
  6. k)  That, in accordance with the foregoing, I hereby recommend to the Secretary of Defense that all pilots, crew and flight personnel in the military service who required hospitalization from injection or received any Covid 19 vaccination be grounded similarly for further dispositive assessment.
  7. l) That this Court should grant an immediate injunction to stop the further harm to all military personnel to protect the health and safety of our active duty, reservists and National Guard troops.

40. I am competent to opine on the medical and flight readiness aspects of these allegations based upon my above-referenced education and professional medical, aviation and military experience and the basis of my opinions are formed as a result of my education, practice, training and experience.

41 As an Aerospace Medicine Specialist, and flight surgeon responsible for the lives of our Army pilots, I confirm and attest to the accuracy and truthfulness of my foregoing statements, analysis and attachments or references hereto:

3000 Doctors and Scientists Sign Declaration Accusing COVID Policy-Makers of “Crimes Against Humanity”

Next is an article written and posted by Debra Heine. It is important to know that which is going on that MSM (mainstream media) is not reporting on.

A “Physicians’ Declaration” produced by an international alliance of physicians and medical scientists strongly condemns the global strategy to treat COVID, accusing policy-makers of potential “crimes against humanity” for preventing physicians from providing life-saving treatments for their patients and suppressing open scientific discussion.

The document states that “one size fits all” treatment recommendations have resulted in needless illness and death.

As of 1:00 Friday afternoon, the declaration had garnered over 3,100 signatures from doctors and scientists around the world.

A group of physicians and scientists met in Rome, Italy earlier this month for a three day Global Covid Summit to speak “truth to power about Covid pandemic research and treatment.”

The summit, which was held from September 12 to September 14,  gave the medical professionals an opportunity to compare studies, and assess the efficacy of the various treatments that have been developed in hospitals, doctors offices and research labs throughout the world.

The document, reprinted below in its entirety, sprang from that conference.

The Physicians’ Declaration was first read at the Rome Covid Summit, catalyzing an explosion of active support from medical scientists and physicians around the globe. These professionals were not expecting career threats, character assassination, papers and research censored, social accounts blocked, search results manipulated, clinical trials and patient observations banned, and their professional history and accomplishments altered or omitted in academic and mainstream media.

Dr. Robert Malone, architect of the mRNA vaccine platform, read the Rome Declaration at the summit.

Thousands have died from Covid as a result of being denied life-saving early treatment. The Declaration is a battle cry from physicians who are daily fighting for the right to treat their patients, and the right of patients to receive those treatments – without fear of interference, retribution or censorship by government, pharmacies, pharmaceutical corporations, and big tech. We demand that these groups step aside and honor the sanctity and integrity of the patient-physician relationship, the fundamental maxim “First Do No Harm”, and the freedom of patients and physicians to make informed medical decisions. Lives depend on it.

We the physicians of the world, united and loyal to the Hippocratic Oath, recognizing the profession of medicine as we know it is at a crossroad, are compelled to declare the following;

WHEREAS, it is our utmost responsibility and duty to uphold and restore the dignity, integrity, art and science of medicine;

WHEREAS, there is an unprecedented assault on our ability to care for our patients;

WHEREAS, public policy makers have chosen to force a “one size fits all” treatment strategy, resulting in needless illness and death, rather than upholding fundamental concepts of the individualized, personalized approach to patient care which is proven to be safe and more effective;

WHEREAS, physicians and other health care providers working on the front lines, utilizing their knowledge of epidemiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, are often first to identify new, potentially life saving treatments;

WHEREAS, physicians are increasingly being discouraged from engaging in open professional discourse and the exchange of ideas about new and emerging diseases, not only endangering the essence of the medical profession, but more importantly, more tragically, the lives of our patients;

WHEREAS, thousands of physicians are being prevented from providing treatment to their patients, as a result of barriers put up by pharmacies, hospitals, and public health agencies, rendering the vast majority of healthcare providers helpless to protect their patients in the face of disease. Physicians are now advising their patients to simply go home (allowing the virus to replicate) and return when their disease worsens, resulting in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary patient deaths, due to failure-to-treat;

WHEREAS, this is not medicine. This is not care. These policies may actually constitute crimes against humanity.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS:

RESOLVED, that the physician-patient relationship must be restored. The very heart of medicine is this relationship, which allows physicians to best understand their patients and their illnesses, to formulate treatments that give the best chance for success, while the patient is an active participant in their care.

RESOLVED, that the political intrusion into the practice of medicine and the physician/patient relationship must end. Physicians, and all health care providers, must be free to practice the art and science of medicine without fear of retribution, censorship, slander, or disciplinary action, including possible loss of licensure and hospital privileges, loss of insurance contracts and interference from government entities and organizations – which further prevent us from caring for patients in need. More than ever, the right and ability to exchange objective scientific findings, which further our understanding of disease, must be protected.

RESOLVED, that physicians must defend their right to prescribe treatment, observing the tenet FIRST, DO NO HARM. Physicians shall not be restricted from prescribing safe and effective treatments. These restrictions continue to cause unnecessary sickness and death. The rights of patients, after being fully informed about the risks and benefits of each option, must be restored to receive those treatments.

RESOLVED, that we invite physicians of the world and all health care providers to join us in this noble cause as we endeavor to restore trust, integrity and professionalism to the practice of medicine.

RESOLVED, that we invite the scientists of the world, who are skilled in biomedical research and uphold the highest ethical and moral standards, to insist on their ability to conduct and publish objective, empirical research without fear of reprisal upon their careers, reputations and livelihoods.

RESOLVED, that we invite patients, who believe in the importance of the physician-patient relationship and the ability to be active participants in their care, to demand access to science-based medical care.

An Old but Troubling Dream

Several years ago, possibly eight, I had a troubling dream that I never forgot, but I never had understanding of either. Twice (possibly three times) the dream was posted, but for over a week I’ve searched my archives without success. However, there are hundreds of articles and I cannot sit for hours at a time searching, but I am determined to find it. Finally, after all this time, I understand in part.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [1Cor 13:9]

This chapter in 1 Corinthians 13 speaks of the time when the gifts will cease, but the verse I selected mentions how we know (understand) in part and prophesy in part. It is true. Both Joel and Peter spoke of how God would pour out His Spirit on people in the last days, upon men and women, old and young, and they would prophesy. That is certainly happening today, but we need to guard ourselves because that means that we will also find false prophets in the crowd (Satan's messengers, or greedy souls going around charging people, or seeking fame).

We can forget, but we must try to remember by asking the Holy Spirit to help us to try every spirit to see if it is of God. There may also be times when we get a dream, vision or prophecy from the Lord that we do not understand. [Dan 8:27]

Like Daniel who got a dream but lacked understanding, the same can happen to us. And like Daniel, we may need to fast and pray, or simply wait upon the Lord. Many of the ancient prophets never saw their prophecies come to pass, but later generations did. 

I had a dream that an American general was speaking on the phone to a Chinese general. I was not allowed to hear what was said, but I was to go with a message. I was running up a hill, when traveling parallel over my head (horizontal) was a fiery asteroid. It was huge and travelling fast.

I remember not understanding why an American general would be speaking with a Chinese general, since the two countries are not allies. But now we see General Mark Milley, the Pentagon’s top military officer, has been accused (not charged) of treachery and treason for speaking with General Li Zuocheng, assuring him that if America was set to attack, he would call the Chinese general ahead of time. 

In my dream I did not sense betrayal or treason, but again, I did not hear any of the conversation. I did sense an urgency, but what the urgency pertained to, I knew not. Then, I had a message to deliver. That part has happened, but what of the asteroid?

The asteroid was very low to earth, running parallel horizontally. Is there an asteroid incoming?  Are we being distracted in 10 other directions? Truthfully, I do not know what it means but I remember that it flew overhead as I was running with a message. I know it was a short dream, but I cannot recall all that I wrote. Is there something I have forgotten, or is that basically it? The part of the generals has seemingly come to pass, so what does the part about the asteroid mean?

As stated, I’ve been trying to find the article for about a week, off and on. I feel hard-pressed to mention the dream. The rest is up to the Lord, and for us to pray about. Things are happening fast and furious, but we can stay at peace with God. He is Sovereign and fully in control.

When and if I find it, I will post it. Another thing that has continued to be in the forefront of my mind, not every day, but often enough, are earthquakes and volcanoes. Canada has dormant volcanoes, particularly here in the Okanagan, but I still wonder about the west coast for earthquakes, and the eastern countries for volcanoes. 

Also, South America and the Carribean Islands. I sense that tetonic plates are shifting, and the earth is travailing - so earthquakes and volcanoes, and a sense of staying alert is imperative. A horrible tsunami -- I saw the west coast. I had such a raw feeling throughout my being. 

We are to pray about all things. The holy Creator has every right to bring judgment, and His wrath will be righteous. Our world is corrupted and wreaks of evil and sin. Every nation needs to repent - every single one! We are defiled and have accepted/allowed every wretched and putrid evil to become the norm, and we still have government officials changing laws so the perverted can get away with pedophilia and bestiality. 

Witchcraft, sexual perversions and every kind of sin is becoming acceptable to the multitudes - and where are the cries for repentance? where are the broken and contrite hearts? Where is the shame for embracing evil over good? We so quickly see the sins of others, but are blind to our own. God help us all.

Example: A mother angrily addressed a school board about books in the school library that are filled with vile language and promote pedophilia. When she read excerpts written by the authors (one sentence excerpts filled with vulgarities, from each of the two books), a school board trustee interrupted her. 

Other parents were applauding the mother, but the chairperson indirectly defended the library stocking the books, by saying, "They are for high school students, ma'am", as if it is okay for such books to be available for young people aged14-18 years old. The irate mother's mic began humming and she was cut off, with the chairperson instructing the next speaker to come forward. School Board Allows Books Promoting Pedophilia

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like that of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts musters the host of the battle. 

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be amazed at one another; their faces shall be as flames. 

Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. [Is 13:4-11]

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. [vs 13]

And Jesus forewarned about the times when wickedness was upon the earth once again, as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah:

For then shall be great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Mat 24:21]

And just as in the days of Noah, there comes the day that the warnings stop...

for His glory
