How to Research to Replace Anti-Depressants (and more!)

10.24.2025 by bloggard // Leave a Comment

Antidepressants often have “side-effects.” (This is BigPharma-talk for “poisoning.)

But the side-effect/poisoning/bullcrap varies hugely with the different pills. Details …

How to FREE YOURSELF from BigPharma Poisoning

Realize that there are several things that often work as well, or better, than BigPharma pills. These include:

  • simple, daily doses of exercise; and
  • fresh, single-ingredient, non-poisoned foods; and
  • a number of inexpensive supplements

Of course, you gotta *learn* about these. Don’t just read adverts, because those are not to be trusted and will send you all over the place.

How to CREATE your Personal, Accurate RESEARCH to Find What’s True …

Here’s a simple way to find out, from actual studies, what’s true: Get a copy of Perplexity, an AI-research panel, and it comes with Comet, a clean and fast browser that’s very smart about finding things, because it uses Perplexity.

You can get it here: https://www.perplexity.ai/

Then ask it questions like, for example: What are the health benefits of exercise. (Get a list, then look at the list for the benefits most of interest to you.) Then ask “What kinds of exercise most provide [plug in benefits here]? Then, keep asking more-detailed questions from its answers until you now know exactly what kind of exercise, how long, how often, and what it will get you. This works amazingly well, you stop being a farm-animal belonging to BigPharma, and you can fix your problem, inexpensively. Try it and you’ll like it. 🙂

Then, do the same thing to find out what’s true about single-ingredient, non-poisoned foods for your body. Then do the same thing to find out what’s true about herbs and supplements. You can ask questions about what’s best for a male/female of your age and your weight. You can find out optimum dosages. You can find out which supplements on Amazon give the best result for the least money. You begin to be the boss of you. Finally. 🙂

Lastly, you can create a folder on your desktop. It might have sub-folders for exercise, food, and supplements.) And the Perplexity research tool will allow you to save each “thread” as a pdf, so you begin to have your very own, personalized, research on hand. Neatoid, Lloyd! 🙂

“Astro-Turfing” – How Media Manipulates Us with Fake Information

10.28.2017 by bloggard // Leave a Comment

Medford, Oregon and TED Talk, October 28, 2017 — Surprising information —

  • 90% of news media are controlled by six corporations. As a result,much of what you read and see can be an orchestrated story created by special interest groups
  • “Astro-Turf” means to falsify fake news, fake “information” so it appears to be a grass-roots movement. (IE: “fake grass”)
  • Alas, Wikipedia is often hijacked, because pages can be controlled by anonymous editors on behalf of special interests who reverse edits that go against their hidden agenda

Those of you who know me may remember that I’m not big on conspiracy theories because I think (a) humans do poorly at keeping a secret, and because (b) humans are poor at concerted action. Few events, however dreadful, require explanation of a wide conspiracy, when simple greed will suffice as explanation.

And I think that simple greed may be operating here, because …

Special interests have permeated our government, and with the weakening of newspaper revenues their journalistic integrity has slipped. Yesterday in conversation with a friend who once ran a department at the New York Times I heard confirmation that media’s ability to generate accurate original reporting is far less than what it once was.

Charlie’s Big Adventure

04.25.2016 by bloggard // 2 Comments

Medford, Oregon, April 25, 2016: I guess he’s been getting restless. I’ve been lousy about taking them for walks, and running around the back yard has probably grown passe.

Of course, Daisy is getting old. She’s creaky, slow, and her back legs erratic. But Charlie, though almost as old, still has a lot of Get Up And Go. And the fact that Daisy is now mostly Got Up and Went gives him no pause. He’s a busy guy.

Today started out normal, like any day, and since I wanted to get soup for lunch at Great Harvest, I herded the dogs into the garage/backyard, and sure enough, the soup was swell.

When I arrived back home and parked in the driveway, behind me cars began stopping in the street, a line of them in each direction. And that was because Daisy was wandering around on Siskiyou Boulevard. [Read more…]
