Seven years ago, I wrote a book on climate change called ‘Dancing on the Volcano’.
It was yet another book that never got published, despite a huge amount of time and effort that went into it.
Not only that, when I started discussing the topic on Linked In, that’s when I got permanently ‘locked out’ of the platform, something that was curiously only reversed a couple of months ago. I don’t know why they changed their minds, but I took the opportunity to try and ‘scrub’ as much info as I could off my profile and make it private.
==
Point is, we are now at the stage where they are using the ‘climate change’ scare to literally try to lock people out of forests and nature.
Some guy in Nova Scotia walked into a forest this week, and came out with a $28k fine:
The new policy came into effect on Aug. 5, and will remain until Oct. 15. It bans people from hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles like ATVs in the woods due to the elevated wildfire risk. People are not even allowed to enter the woods. The fine for violating the ban is $25,000.
Evely’s fine includes taxes, fees, and surcharges.
“I know it’s the height of summer vacation and people want to do all the activities that we enjoy,” Houston said when the ban was announced. “But we have to stay out of the woods. It’s a small price to pay to avoid the devastation that we saw from wildfires in 2023.”
==
Now, I don’t know if all these wildfires are God-made or man-made.
The answer could well be: both,
When you have more seismic activity, you get more methane rising to the surface, and methane can and does spontaneously combust. That doesn’t mean that the military and deep state aren’t also doing stuff, but it does mean there are many, many, many reasons for all these fires – and 0.0002% of them are being caused by careless campers, or in our neck of the woods, ‘terrorists’.
(Unless, those ‘terrorists’ happen to work for the State.)
==
What I’m saying, is that buying into the unbridled hysteria about heatwaves enables our corrupt governments to get the buy-in they need to pull off more of their ‘lockdowns’ on the public.
We saw it in Covid, how they shut everything down and started handing out 5,000 nis fines for anyone who dared to visit the Kinneret.
Is that the sort of world you want to live in? The sort of ‘reality’ you want to create for yourself, and others?
If not, it’s time to start getting a grip on the hysterical thinking, the catastrophising, all the pointless ‘theorising’ and speculation – and to stop giving the Evils the buy-in they need, at grass-roots level, to make ‘walking in a forest’ punishable by a huge fine.
In response to the tinderbox conditions, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority extended a ban on entry to all hiking trails in national parks and reserves through Shabbos. The Israel Fire and Rescue Services have also kept a nationwide ban on open-air bonfires in place until the end of the month.
==
One of the best videos I ever saw about the Grand Solar Minimum was by John L Casey – who sadly had a stroke almost exactly after he gave this interview:
==
He says we are now in the last ‘warm spike’ that will probably occur for the next 400 years.
And that there is far more danger from the ‘mini ice ages’ that are part of this centuries’ long cycle, than there are from ‘global warming’.
In fact, these short periods of ‘heating’ are actually very beneficial, long term, as they stave-off ‘mini ice ages’ where it’s much harder to grow food, power your homes and stay warm and dry.
It’s the olam hafuch.
And because it’s the olam hafuch, anyone who tells the truth gets shut-up pretty fast….
(In my small way, for example, I got banned off Linked In, the only social media platform I was even on.)
==
We can’t stop the Evils doing what the Evils are doing – only God can do that, when He’s ready.
But you know what God is waiting for?
He’s waiting for us to stop buying into all the fearmongering BS, on whatever subject it happens to be today, and to make some real, concrete teshuva.
To make some real effort, to get over our own bad middot, and to work on the emuna that God is running everything, and what’s holding up geulah and real, positive, massive changes down here is you and me.
Our bad middot.
Our addiction to drama-queen headlines, to predictions that the ‘End is Nigh’, our laziness, our apathy, our arrogance, our control-freak tendencies, our anger, our jealousy, our vengeance, our own fallen fears….
==
That’s the real, and only, job we are down here to do.
Xtianity likes to try and fix ‘the world’ while the people who profess it continue to have disgusting middot.
Jews don’t work like that.
Jews understand that the ONLY way to really fix the world’s problems, is to fix ourselves first – our own bad middot.
==
So, that’s the work.
The focus.
And I am feeling pretty frustrated that so many years down the line in this process, it just feels like we’re still all stuck in a pointless ‘GroundHog Day’, in so many ways, because too many of us are still resisting the idea that the only thing we can and must change is OURSELVES.
==
Tov.
Apologies in advance for the slightly ranting tone of this.
Things can, could and will be so much better for everyone, very soon.
As soon as we really get this message.
And get on with the job of fixing our own bad middot, instead of wasting more precious time engaging with ‘controlled opposition’, lies, misunderstandings and mentally-ill ‘catastrophic thinking’.

I only know about this meeting because my husband told me he saw something, fleeting, on the Google headlines he can’t seem to get away from, on his PC.
Non-Brits might not know what ‘Punch and Judy’ is – take a look at THIS WIKI, which explains the basic idea.
==
Basically, ‘Punch’ beats up on ‘Judy’ – and sometimes, vice-versa.
It can be very entertaining, and was a favourite British amusement, before TV and the internet showed up.
The point is: there is some guy crouching below the stage with his hands up the backsides of both the puppets, manipulating both of them, and even providing the comedy voices.
Here’s a snippet from the London Museum:
Punch, that squeaky-voiced clown, fights and deceives whoever crosses his path. Including his wife. And their baby.
Just bootiful, baby! We’re going to have an amazing peace process here! That’s the way to do it!
==
In other news, I got to this on CW’s Substack, in the comments section, posted up by Brucha Weisberger.
It’s very interesting reading, for people worrying about measles, and what’s really killing small children in the world:

Shiur from Monday, 18th Tammuz 5785 (July 14th, 2025)
There are lots of hints to what is really going on here… including the enormous level of spiritual protection that Eretz Yisrael and Jerusalem still enjoys.
Enjoy!
==
[The Rav starts talking about all the miracles being witnessed in Eretz Yisrael, currently.]
Something here ruined everything.
Shuvu Banim ruined everything [Iran had planned], they disrupted the whole order. More of the girls recited tehillim the whole night long, so, Khameini is misken (a poor thing).
Now, he wanted to blow everything up here.
He said that his whole campaign got disrupted, they said tehillim all night long.
==
We didn’t sleep for 12 nights, nobody slept, no girl slept, they just recited tehillim.
They stood here below [at the Rav’s prayers on Ido HaNavi] and yelled out the tehillim – they heard it even in Uman, all their cries.
Khameini went mad from this, he hid himself away.
He sent rockets, not a single rocket [arrived]. We see this on the screens, that the rockets went to the side, the rockets didn’t enter Israel.
==
Here [in Eretz Yisrael], there are masachim (screens, but can also mean spiritual ‘veils’ that are invisibly protecting Eretz Yisrael.)
We are within the masachim.
There are electronic masachim here, and masachim that the Tzaddik is making for us, and it’s impossible – no rocket can enter Eretz Yisrael!
There is no such thing as this! It only injures Ukrainians, but [in Eretz Yisrael] – not a single rocket!
==
“The kings of the earth didn’t believe, nor did any of the world’s inhabitants, that the adversary or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.”[1]
We will say this in another two weeks [on Tisha B’Av], that’s when we’ll say this, already. We will sit on the floor, and say this.
==
“The kings of the earth didn’t believe.”
They didn’t believe, they didn’t believe it. Sennacheriv brought [soldiers] from all the States, he brought billions of soldiers, two billion soldiers.
It’s written in Lamentations: “The kings of the earth didn’t believe nor did any of the world’s inhabitants, that the adversary or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.”
They didn’t believe it.
For 850 years, no-one had conquered Jerusalem, from the time we entered Eretz Yisrael (until the destruction of the First Temple], this is 850 years.
==
It’s written 480 [years after the Jews entered the land, the First Temple was built], and another 410 [when the First Temple was actually standing]. For 850 years, it was impossible to conquer Jerusalem.
440 and 410 – it’s impossible to conquer Jerusalem.
They tried. They came on the 7th of Av, spilled some benzine. They came on the 7th of Av, they came to burn down the Temple. During the 7th of Av, the 8th of Av, they didn’t succeed.
Today, it’s the first of July, it will be the first of August, the 7th of Av. They came to burnt it down, and didn’t succeed to burn it. It was made from inflammable material.
They took [? Missing in original text], put it through the fire – and it wasn’t burnt. It wasn’t burnt. They took around 40 to burn them[2].
==
Anousim who returned to the Jewish faith – they burnt them.[3]
But they weren’t burnt. It’s written that they tried a lot of time to burn Jews, and didn’t manage it.
==
Because they got to Tunisia, to Morocco, to Tripoli, whole boats arrived, with 5,000 Jews, and each one alighted.
And then they asked them, who are you?
We are Jews.
How can I know that you are really Jews?
We are circumcised.
Arabs also circumcise themselves!
Two and a half billion Arabs are circumcised – all the non-Jews are like a drop in a bucket, like the thinnest thread. The nations are like nothing, and are considered to be like tohu. It never was, and never will be.
The nations weren’t even created – nothing and tohu.
==
There was one [US President], Reagan or Bush or Kennedy, who talked with Shamir.
He said, I’m the head of the government for 250 million, and you, just over five million.
But the nations count for nothing! What is this, 250 million, what even is it?! It’s 25, and five zeros. 250 million is nothing.
[Returning to the 2 1/2 billion soldiers of Sennacheriv] This is 250 and seven zeros. 25 and seven zeros.
It’s only ‘zeros’.
I don’t believe you.
==
So he brought whole states.
He conquered countries, conquered the whole world. He conquered up until England, conquered Turkey. There is a cave[4], Hadrian’s, between England and…[text missing in original].
==
So they didn’t manage to conquer Scotland.
They were man-eaters, all the Nazis were tribes of cannibals. They were the tribes who were the most aristocratic souls – they just ate people. Cannibals, who ate children and babies.
They wanted to eat Odel,[5] literally, to just eat her up – the Haidamaks.
==
There are hooligans and bandits, and they had intelligence information from the FBI or from the CIA, that the most tasty meat in the world was Odel.
They wanted to take her, cook her, and cut her like a salami. A salami is a sausage. So, they wanted to make a salami out of Odel – Odel, the daughter of the Baal Shem Tov.
She was one of the hostages, one of the kidnapped.
She was in Khan Younis and Rafiach.

This morning, I got a text from a good friend of mine, also with Breslov leanings, also with the Rav, who just got back from a few days up North.
They ignored all the ‘heatwave fearmongering’, and had the best time hanging out in a few rivers all day. She also told me the North was relatively empty for this time of year – apparently because yet again, the ‘fearmongering’ had worked amongst the frum public, and people were staying home.
That was probably the whole point.
==
All this got me thinking, about how more and more, people are trapped in a cage of their own making.
For as long as it’s socially acceptable to keep passing off known PTSD and C-PTSD symptoms like ‘catastrophic thinking’ as ‘information sharing’ as ‘news’; and for as long as people are going to keep lying to themselves that ‘catastrophic thinking’ and believing the news is OK, mental-health-wise – they are going to stay stuck in that prison of ‘dramaqueen-itis’, where every little thing is a big deal.
Needless to say, ‘dramaqueen-itis’ is also a key ingredient of mental illnesses like narcissism and so-called ‘Hysterical Personality Disorder’.
But the good news is, all this can change – if you start to ‘think Breslov’, and make building your emotional, mental and spiritual resilience a priority.
==
Before we get into how to start doing that, here is a little more about ‘catastrophic thinking’, which I cannot stress enough, is a known symptom of both PTSD and C-PTSD (that last one occurs when you grow up in a ‘dangerous’, unstable or ‘narcissist-run’ family, where big threats and big punishments are used as manipulation tactics, to keep the kid perpetually scared of what’s coming, and towing the line.)
Because I can’t be bothered re-making the wheel here, take a look at this post on the happierhuman site HERE, called:
“The thought process involves predicting a negative outcome and then jumping to the conclusion that the outcome will be disastrous. Psychologists call it irrational thinking since there’s usually no evidence to support the belief that a catastrophe will occur.”
==
That is basically 99% of what passes as ‘news’ in our world, and 99% of what passes as social media ‘influencing’ in our world, too.
I could literally spend the next three days posting up links just from the last 24 hours of so-called ‘news’ and influencer posts that are 100% based on ‘catastrophic thinking’.
Not only are the people writing them engaged in ‘catastrophic thinking’, they then infect the people reading them with ‘catastrophic thinking’ too.
And as said above, ‘catastrophic thinking’ is a known symptom of many mental illnesses, but especially PTSD and C-PTSD.
For the people ‘stuck’ in the mental illness of ‘catastrophic thinking’, the bars of the cage get smaller and smaller, with each fear-mongering headline they read or engage with.
And life quickly becomes one unbearable, overdramatic, super-stressful, burdensome experience.
==
Haval, to live life like this.
And super-haval, because the Evils find it so easy to manipulate and control people who are stuck in that ‘PTSD’ mindset.
That’s probably the whole point, of why the news has been set up to continually churn-out false ‘negative predictions’, together with a hefty-dose of ‘catastrophic theorising’.
The good news is: Rebbe Nachman already set out the guidelines, to fix this problem at its root.
Read on.
==
Rebbe Nachman was always trying to encourage his followers to see the world properly, with realistic eyes about what we are really down here to do, and why things are the way they are.
Take this, classic, example from ‘His Wisdom’, page 340 (#250):
I heard the Rebbe say, “Why worry about parnassa? The only thing to worry about is that you may die of hunger if you cannot make a living at all.
And if you die, what is so terrible?
You have to die anyway.
==
The first time I read that, 20 years ago, I was literally shocked.
How can Rabbenu be so callous about people’s suffering, like that?!
But I persevered, and at this stage, every day, I see the wisdom in what he said more and more.
We have to die, anyway.
That’s the bottom line, the ‘uncomfortable truth’, that most people, even frum people, spend their whole lives running away from.
By Rabbenu, he put it straight out there on the table:
You have to die anyway.
And the corollary of that fact, that profound truth, is that if you have to die anyway – at least make sure you lived as fully, and as uplifted as you could be, before the final day arrives.
==
People who spend their whole time stuck in the prison of ‘catastrophic thinking’ aren’t really living life, in any beneficial way to themselves and the people around them.
It’s a literally a prison where the bars shrink down more, each time you start ‘catastrophising’ that you got a fatal illness, that ‘humanity is doomed’, that evil just has to win, that everything and everyone is being controlled by the Evils…
Thinking like this is the shortcut to massive depression and suicidal ideation.
==
That doesn’t mean we bury our head in the sand and hum, we still have to deal with ‘reality’, such as it is.
There is Evils, pedophilia, puppet-politicians, corruption, yucky people in the world, doing horrible things.
All this is true.
But, it’s the spin we then put on this reality that makes all the difference.
And Rabbenu’s spin is quite simply:
Ein od milvado – God is running the show, here, God is doing everything, everything is just a ‘test’ from God, personally designed for each person, to bring out the best in them, and bring them closer to God.
==
How do you get to that conclusion?
By doing some real, hard, work emotionally and spiritually, ESPECIALLY in hitbodedut.
Literally, sit down and commit to doing at least five minutes a day of hitbodedut, where you can speak out your fears to God, tell Him all about your ‘catastrophic thinking’ mental illness, and get some reassurance, deep-down at the soul level, that God is running the show here, however it looks externally.
==
Today, lots of people try to medicate or smoke their way out of their anxiety and fears, either with the prescription pills, the grass, of for cases of immense, or long-standing anxiety, even stronger substances.
That’s a short-term solution, at best.
(It’s a post for another time, but every time a person gets ‘high’, even with grass, they are effectively vacating their own soul-space, and letting demonic entities into their souls. That’s one big reason why drug abuse leads to some very negative outcomes for users, because while the anxiety is ‘pushed down’ by the drug, affording some temporary relief, the soul just ends up getting even more estranged from itself, and God. And this also applies to natural ‘psychedelics’.)
==
God is giving us all these tests, all the time, because He wants us to start doing some hitbodedut, to really get to know ourselves better, and where all this anxiety and fear is coming from, and to make God a real part of the solution to our problems.
That is literally the whole point of everything going on in the world.
The people who are missing this piece of the puzzle are stuck in a prison that will just shrink smaller and smaller and smaller, until enough people finally figure this out.
==
One bar of the cage will be called ‘war in Gaza’; another bar of the cage will be called ‘fear of a serious illness / dying’ (this was the one exploited by Covid); another bar is called ‘fear of being poor’, another ‘fear of looking bad to others’ aka, not keeping up with the Joneses.
There are a million, billion bars, including ‘fear that the ‘heatwave’ is too dangerous for me to go outside…
Each day, there is a new mutation.
And the choice, as always is ours, about what we are going to do with all these ‘fears’ and catastrophic thinking.
==
Choice one: totally ignore what I wrote above, and continue to engage with the stuff that multiplies these fears, especially fake news and online social media, until we feel so anxious all the time even a hardcore heroin addiction sounds like something to ‘look into’.
Choice two: admit that ‘catastrophic thinking’ is actually a byproduct of mental illness, usually caused by PTSD / C-PTSD, and start to explore ways of getting on top of it, and taking responsibility for it – especially, sessions of regular hitbodedut.
==
I don’t blame anyone for having ‘catastrophic thinking’ – it’s a symptom of experiencing severe trauma, one way or another.
But – and it’s a HUGE but – I do take issue with people not taking responsibility for their mental illnesses, and trying to create a whole society where we are all being governed, controlled and manipulated by mentally-ill ‘catastrophic thinking’.
And where the more stable people are castigated for not believing that ‘the end is nigh’ for humanity, or for not believing that Israel is going to be destroyed, God forbid, if more young men aren’t sacrificed on the altar of a pointless, evil war, or where lunatics are convinced that ‘everyone will die if you don’t take your shots’.
Enough is enough already.
Man up, and deal with your mental illness.
There’s a whole beautiful world out there, still.
And God is just waiting for us to realise that, tune out the news, and really start to live a joyful, meaningful, life, where even when the inevitable fears and anxieties surface again, we can hold God’s hand, and then finally turn to face them.
==
PS: Just to keep this real, I have had huge issues myself, with ‘catastrophe thinking’, until about six years ago, when I read Pete Walker’s book on Overcoming C-PTSD, and finally realised it’s a symptom of experiencing trauma.
Just that knowledge in itself was enough to start changing the picture considerably, because once I knew it was NOT ‘rational’ or ‘healthy’ to be thinking like that, I stopped making excuses for it, and stopped being so angry with people who didn’t take my ‘catastrophic thinking’ seriously.
Over the last six years, I have gone through a whole bunch of massive fears, mostly justified, about what is going on around me.
The bottom line, the thing that always brings comfort and succour, eventually, even if it takes me tens of hours of hitbodedut to get there, and paying pidyonot as the shortcut – is that God is behind all this.
That is really the answer, the ‘solution’, to catastrophic thinking.
To only fear God, and not fear anything else.
==
I am still a work in progress, and sometimes, the fear can still pop up and paralyse me.
But that’s not something that I am prepared to just accept and live with, any more.
It’s a call to action, a prompt from God that I need to work on my emuna.
There is nothing like lying in bed with a siren going off (at least, the first time…) to kick that process off. Or, worrying about the pedo network in Israel that keeps disappearing kids. Or, fearing the worst for people you know fighting in Gaza, or even just driving around roads in the Shtachim.
The list of my own fallen fears stretches a million miles long.
But the answer, the solution is always the same thing:
Taking it back to God, and accepting He’s running the world.
AKA:
You have to die anyway.
The real challenge is actually living life fully, before that happens.

I went for a hike yesterday AM with a friend in the morning until about 11am, around the Bet Shemesh hills.
Sure was hot.
So, I wore a hat, drank water, and moved my hike to a little earlier in the day, than otherwise. That’s all, no big deal, no drama, didn’t feel the need to not step out of my home (we also went to the Rav for evening prayers, ate chips on Yaffo Street, got soaked in a strange ‘freak rain’ storm, that lasted half an hour.)
Sure was hot, phew…
==
Lucky for me, I didn’t have a head-full of ‘predictive programming’ garbage from the media, so that when I felt a bit hot, I didn’t then fall into a panic that this was the hottest it’s ever, ever, ever been, and everyone is going to die from heat stroke!!!! God forbid.
As I keep saying, this war is being fought in the arena of the mind.
And it’s kind of depressing, how many otherwise sane, good people keep stuffing their brains full of predictive programming garbage, that just keeps them miserable, stressed and suffering all the time.
Avner Furshpan supports these findings, adding that “we must be careful not to attribute every case of extreme weather to the global warming issue. From our experience and knowledge about the Israeli climate, we know that the link does not necessarily exist, as a significant number of the serious extreme events happened in early periods, before anyone spoke about the issue of global warming and climate changes.
The evidence is that the highest temperature ever measured in Israel was in 1942.
Furshpan should know – he’s the Director of Climatology, Israel Meteorological Service (IMS).
==
Here’s another snippet from that article:
In interesting event which was not included in the review, and is brought to us courtesy of Furshpan, is the unprecedented heat wave which took place in late August 1881. During that period, a temperature of 44 degrees Celsius was measured at the English Hospital in Jerusalem’s Old City for three days in a row, setting a Jerusalem record which has yet to be broken.
==
This was before there was aircon, or even, trees and running water, to help cool people down.
Even Ynet, in 2025, is admitting that back in 1944 – 80 years ago – that’s when the modern era ‘heatwave’ records were set in Israel.
Temperatures in the eastern valleys and near the Sea of Galilee could reach 48–49 degrees Celsius (118–120 Fahrenheit), exceeding the current record of 47°C (116.6°F). The Jordan Valley may see 50–51°C (122–124°F), hotter than any reading there since the historic 54°C (129.2°F) recorded at Kibbutz Tirat Zvi on June 21, 1942.
Jerusalem and Safed are expected to reach 41°C (105.8°F), with possible records in the Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights.
==
Sure, it’s hot.
Sure, it’s a heatwave.
But even more sure – it’s not that unusual, and if we would only stop listening to the brainwashing, dramaqueen, narcisistic media, we’d all be feeling way less ‘hot’, even in the heat.
==
This is how ‘fake news’ works – and it’s been working that way for centuries.
Here’s a few headlines from papers that were running in the late 19th century:
South Wales Daily News – Saturday 30 July 1892:
NUMEROUS DEATHS FROM SUNSTROKE
==
Huddersfield Chronicle – Saturday 28 March 1896:
THE HEAT-WAVE IN AUSTRALIA
“Thermometer at 122 degrees in the shadiest spot we can hang it!”
==
Jersey Times and British Press – Monday 29 August 1881:
THE HEAT-WAVE OF JULY IN EUROPE
“The highest temperature recorded in England was 101 degrees at Alton, Hants.”
==
Shields Daily News – Monday 12 July 1897:
TERRIFIC HEAT-WAVE IN AMERICA: 388 DEATHS REPORTED
==
Here’s one from 1877, bemoaning the terrible ‘extreme’ temperatures, both up and down, that had been experienced over the last 40 years:
Globe – Tuesday 09 October 1877:
THE COMING WINTER
==
There are literally hundreds and thousands of articles from the 1800s, talking about heatwaves all over the world, including in ‘mild’ Britain, with temperatures topping 100 degrees…
And of course, in places like Spain and Portugal, the temperatures were way, way higher, and the countryside was ablaze, and it was even hotter than the current heatwave we have here in Israel…
Point is: this is part of life.
It’s not a big deal.
It’s just more fear-mongering from the demonic media, working for their demonic paymasters, that wants to ruin everyone’s bein hazmanim break, and keep the stress piled on and escalating, 24/7.
==
Is it hot right now?
Yup.
It is uncomfortable, and hard to sleep?
Yup.
Is that a big deal, in any way, shape or form?
Absolutely not.
It’s just part of a regular summer, in a hot country, and sometimes, even part of a regular summer in a ‘cold’ country like the UK…
==
Please, please, please, pull your mind out of the ‘news’, and find something more worthwhile to do with yourself.
(That includes pretty much anything, except committing capital crimes….)
Life is too short to keep wasting it on pointless, drama-queen, headlines, pumped up and circulated by a million social media ‘influencers’ who are looking for more grist for their ‘pointless information’ mills.
Personally?
I am so sick of it.
I only want to engage with real stuff, really meaningful stuff, with real people, real ideas, real information.
Lucky me, I don’t follow all the fake news, with the ‘fake news warnings’ about Israel being hot in August.
Israel is ALWAYS hot in August, and while it’s for sure hot, it’s not more hot than it usually is when it’s hot.
I am SO SICK of all the manufactured ‘drama’ all the time, all the fake, choreographed headlines telling us all what to be afraid of now, what to worry about now.
I am sitting here, and it’s not that hot.
I went for a three hour walk on a mostly unshaded path, and apart from getting lost and developing a ridiculous ‘frum tan’ that stops at my neckline and wrists, I didn’t have any bad experiences today, BH.
Sure, I drank water 1.5 litres, and more, after the tiyul was done.
But me and my husband were totally fine….
Don’t let the navi sheker news ruin your summer holidays, and turn off all the fear-mongering, as most of this battle is being fought in the arena of the mind.
==
BH, I am thrilled that the US ‘invasion of Gaza’ got postponed for 60 days.
That takes it to after Rosh Hashana 5786, when the evil decree we’ve been under for two years can BH finally be annulled, and all the soldiers can return home, and we can all stop pretending that they are doing anything in Gaza except working for America to take over the Strip – and all the natural resources located just offshore there.
That’s the whole plan, has been right from the beginning, and I have been saying the same thing for years and years and years.
==
I don’t want any more Jewish soldiers having their legs and arms blown off in booby-trapped houses just so America gets to take over the Gaza Strip.
And, I also don’t want any more civilians killed, just so America gets to take over the Gaza Strip.
The war needs to end, and then we can start to figure out more about what is really going on here, and all the traitors who gave Uncle Sam a hand, to pull off ‘October 7th’.
==
On that score, go and look up the name of the tov she be eysav, plus ‘Jane Doe’, plus ‘2016’ – see what you find.
Understand that ‘Obama’ didn’t plant anything in the Epstein files…. it was all staring us in the face, all along, even from 2016 – three years before Epstein got arrested and ‘suicided’.
Just, the mass media totally ignored the story back in 2016.
And probably most of us were still very naive, and simply couldn’t believe things like this were happening.
Now, hopefully, things are starting to change.
==
When Esav falls, Yaakov rises.
Call me crazy…. but I can smell Uman in the air all over the place at the moment.
And even if it doesn’t look obvious, it seems to me, Yaakov is finally starting to make it’s way ‘up’ again, after years and years and years of being crushed down by Esav.
We aren’t out of the woods yet…. but not much longer, and BH, we will be.

I am starting to get my koach for writing stuff back again, BH.
Here’s some more translated comments from the Rav, who is apparently having a break somewhere at the moment, so hasn’t been at the prayers since Monday.
==
Excerpt of a shiur from Wednesday, Parshat Balak, 5785
He [R’ Yehuda HaNassi] had bags of gold. It’s written in 10b, that there was mamash a tunnel.
And he [Antoninus, the Roman Caesar] used to come each day to learn Torah. He really converted, he learned with Rebbi 12 hours, used to make him an omelette, used to make him a a salad, soup.
He served him all of his food, he brought all of his food, and he would lie down on the floor [and say] tread on me!
How can I step on Putin, on Biden, on Trump, who rules over the whole world?!
He conquered the whole world.
How can I?!
==
Now, Rebbi wanted to climb up on to his bed.
The beds were high, once upon a time, there were high beds. It’s written that if under the bed there were 10 tefachim, it was considered to be it’s own autonomous area, if you needed to search for chametz underneath the bed back then.
So, he said to him climb up on me, tread on me.
Like Rabbi Tarfon used to lie down so his mother could climb up on her bed. He used to lie down [and say] climb up upon me!
Something like this had never been seen in the world.
==
He said climb up on me! – the Caesar to Rebbi, when Rebbi wanted to go up to his bed, he would crouch down on the floor and say climb up on me! Go up on me!
He said, I can’t step on the Caesar of the world!
He said, who will give me a stake in the world to come? Halavai, that I should merit to be the dust under your feet, in the next world! Your word, that I should get to the world to come?
[Rebbi replied] Yes.
[But Antoninus asked him] It’s written that ‘there will not be a remnant of the House of Esav’?
[This applies to those who] commit the deeds of ‘Esav’, but Antoninus was a true ger (convert), and he circumcised himself.
==
Like Heleni HaMalka – she converted.
There was Monbaz, Monbaz distributed everything to tzedakah, he didn’t keep back a single grush (penny). It’s forbidden for a person to have a single grush in his house, he needs to give everything to charity.
So Monbaz distributed everything to tzedakah, Monbaz – he gave everything to charity.
They said to him, how can you give everything to charity?! Your forefathers accumulated it and you are wasting it all!
He said my forefathers hoarded in this world, and I am hoarding above.
Whatever a person gives away to tzedakah, that’s his real money, this is what will remain for him. Just that which he gives away to charity.
A person needs to give charity day and night.
==
Translated from Shivivei Or, 418.
==
UPDATE: I made a mistake yesterday, and wrote ‘Antiochus’ instead of Antoninus.
Thanks to the commentators for catching it, I’ve amended the piece now.
==
Talking of Esav and ‘Caesars’, I came across this:
==
It’s a video of Trump, being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey back in 1988 about what he’d do if he became President of the USA….
==
From what the Rav said above about Antoninus, it seems that the real tov she be Esav actually converts to Judaism.
I guess, because the ‘good in Esav’ can’t remain ‘in Esav’ and remain ‘good’.
Really praying that ‘Yaakov’ starts to rise to the top, big time, already.
And that the good, the revealed good, finally starts to shine out in the world.

Yesterday, for the first time in a couple of years, I went to Tel Aviv.
I have family members who come out to their apartment there, and with all the war stuff, they haven’t been here for a while. So yesterday, I girded my loins and went to see them.
We want to a crystals place, then walked around the Ramat Gan boursa for a bit, trying to find somewhere to eat (there are a lot more kosher places there, than in most places in Tel Aviv), then ended up walking around the big Ramat Gan park for a couple of hours.
It was bein hazmanim, the roads were clogged everywhere, but the company was so enjoyable, I didn’t really mind.
The park was beautiful, the salad was yummy, I managed to buy what I wanted at the stones shop for under 200 nis – open miracles!
==
For the first time in a very long time, i started to appreciate and love this holy land we live in again.
Even the relatively scummy bit of it called ‘Tel Aviv’.
Sure, I wasn’t blind to the streets full of beggars. All the pointless tattoos on display still caused a barf reaction. By Ramat Gan, they have one of the recent videos of the starving hostages in Gaza (the Jews, I mean) on their massive big screen by the bridge, on repeat…
Crazy stuff.
And yet despite all of this, I started to feel how much I love Eretz Yisrael, and even the scuzzy bit of known as ‘Tel Aviv’.
==
Something is changing here, on some fundamental level.
Maybe, a month of Iranian ‘rockets’ delivered by American B2 bombers have managed to penetrate and crush some of the horrible klipa that has been keeping Jew away from Jew for so long.
I know the media is still making it seem like the three crazies from Meah Shearim who are publically burning their draft notices, and the evil-mouthed seculars (including those wearing their knitted kippas) who refer to kosher Torah Jews as ‘parasites’ are the real face, the only face of Israel.
But it’s not true.
Not true at all.
‘Israel’ is made up many, many beautiful souls, who are struggling to reignite their yiddishkeit and emuna, having been immersed in soul-destroying Esav culture for the best part of 100 years.
The light never went out, it just got hidden, under mounds and mounds of tattoos, fake nails, fake nails, bad haircuts, and horrible ‘brainwashing’ delivered by our Esav-controlled State, amongst others.
But all the suffering here is fanning the flame of the pintele yid, in a million different ways.
==
Wednesday night, I got stuck at a henna celebration for someone I know, their daughter.
I got to hang out with my husband and a kid, so it wasn’t awful, but the loud music, the skin on display everywhere (even when it was way better under wraps…), the pointless tattoos on most of the crowd, even the old ladies – I have to admit, it got me down a bit.
Then on the way out, I got into a conversation with one of the tattoo’d older women, who lives in a totally secular kibbutz up North. She heard I lived in Jerusalem, and told me she really wanted to come and visit the Kotel.
You are so lucky, you live right there!
Then, she told me how they’d been trying to arrange to bring a proper Torah to their kibbutz for years, and to have a rabbi come in to do services in a room of the kibbutz dining hall on Yom Kippur.
The kibbutz management don’t agree. They told us ‘reform service, or nothing’ – so we’re doing nothing. Me and my husband don’t hold by reform, it’s a cult.
==
I learnt two things from this.
Firstly, that the kibbutz management are still communists, mamash, and the whole joke of ‘to be free in our own land’ is not happening anywhere in Israel, especially by the commie Jews who are still pulling the strings here and hate ‘religion’. Or rather, they hate ‘Judaism’ – but are prepared to offer ‘reform’ and ‘xtianity’ as acceptable alternatives.
The second thing I learned, is that a person can serve Hashem, in some circumstances, by refusing to attend Yom Kippur services.
If those Yom Kippur services are ‘reform’.
The whole idea of that kind of blew me away.
==
You can smell change in the air here, if you take a moment to close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Me personally, I am picking up Rabbenu, the scent of Uman, wafting around all over the place. There are big surprises in store, big, unexpected turn-arounds about to materialise.
More and more people are talking ‘high treason’, as the real explanation for how October 7th happened.
More and more information is coming out, they Evils can’t hide what they were up to for too much longer.
I have been waiting for this house of cards to fall, properly, for 10 years at least, since I started really researching what was going on with the Rav, and his State-sponsored persecution.
All this lichluch covering over the pintele yid, burying the pintele yid and his beautiful Jewish soul – it’s all about to get blown away.
I hope, really not much longer, but God has His plan, and His timetable, and He for sure knows what He’s doing, and why everything is timed and arranged the way it is.
==
But bottom line: the beauty, the chein is returning to Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael.
And it feels to me, that the end of this very long nightmare is finally starting to loom into sight.
Amen.
==
PS: The Rav has been away from the evening prayers since Monday night.
I don’t know when he’s back, and I hope it’s just a ‘break’ and not something medical.
Please keep praying for Eliezer ben Ettia – a prayer for him is really just a prayer for ourselves, and for Am Yisrael. And we still need all the prayers we can get.

Carrying on from the last two posts, I started to look into ‘vitamins’ myself.
YD put up two Wiki links for the people who are meant to have ‘invented’ vitamins: Casimir Funk (Polish Jew) and Frederick Gowland Hopkins (freemason). Funk’s page where was where I picked up the following bits of information:
After reading an article by Christiaan Eijkman that indicated that persons who ate brown rice were less vulnerable to beri-beri than those who ate only the fully milled product, Funk tried to isolate the substance responsible, and he succeeded. Because that substance contained an amine group, he called it “vitamine”. It was later to be known as vitamin B3 (niacin), although he thought it would be thiamine (vitamin B1) and described it as “anti-beri-beri-factor”.
We’ll return to whether Funk really succeeded in isolating ‘the substance responsible’ a little later on.
The point, is that whole foods can heal, and that processed foods (in this case brown rice vs polished white rice) were causing the ‘beri-beri’ problem.
So, Funk comes along, says that he’s isolated the part of the brown rice that is doing the ‘healing’, and refers to this new ‘substance’ is a VITAMINE, because it contains an “amine group. I went to look up what ‘amines’ are, here’s what it says on the Wiki page:
“In chemistry, amines are organic compounds that contain carbon-nitrogen bonds.”
That’s the basis of the word VITAMINE, that later had the final ‘e’ dropped, presumably to muddy the waters as to what most of these AMINES are actually being used for, in our modern world. We’re also told that:
If you are noticing that the terminology being used is already ‘Big Pharma’ – mazal tov! You are starting to figure this out.
==
Next, here are the headings from that same Wiki page for how AMINES are being ‘applied’ in our modern world:
> Dyes – e.g. Methyl Orange and Sunset Yellow
> Drugs – e.g. Amphetamine, Morphine, Heroin, amongst many, many others, that you get prescribed from medical doctors.
> Gas Treatment – e.g. removing CO2 from natural gas, in a process called ‘sweetening’.
> Epoxy Resin Curing Agents – e.g. dimethylethylamine and cyclohexylamine.
==
How strange, that ‘VITAMINES’, that were named because of their link to all these AMINE ‘organic compounds’ are being left off the list here…
Before we leave the AMINES page, let’s just bring the safety information about AMINES:
Low molecular weight simple amines, such as ethylamine, are toxic with LD50 between 100 and 1000 mg/kg. They are skin irritants, especially as some are easily absorbed through the skin. Amines are a broad class of compounds, and more complex members of the class can be extremely bioactive, for example strychnine.
Park all this for now, because of course, VITAMINES can’t just be all this dangerous chemicals stuff repackaged as ‘health supplements’ for an unsuspecting public….
Could they?
==
Back on Casimir Funk‘s Wiki page, it says that after inventing VITAMINES, he goes to work for the following organisations:
The Lister Institute
The Pasteur Institute
U.S. Vitamin & Pharmaceutical Corp.
If you’ve been following the va ccs scam, those first two are probably already setting off alarm bells. It’s easy to look those two up on your own, so I went to track down the third one, the U.S. VITAMIN & PHARMACEUTICAL CORP.
It was bought out by Revlon in 1966. This screenshot is a press release from HERE – which turns up another strange CO-IN-CI-DENCE:
Revlon are located at: 666 5th Avenue – the same building that JARED KUSHNER bought in 2007, with lots and lots of help from QATAR…
Meanwhile, the U.S. VITAMIN & PHARMACEUTICAL CORP are described as being:
“engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical specialties.”
I am still looking for the ‘healthy vitamins’ in the middle of all this Big Pharma, so now I decide to go and read up on how ‘healthy vitamins’ are actually made – and how that differs from all the unhealthy dyes, drugs, gas treatment and epoxy resin curing stuff, described above.
==
I decided to focus on three ‘vitamins’: Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K – those last two, inspired by Hava’s comment, and the first one, because it’s ubiquitous.
The search began on the Wiki page for VITAMINS – as opposed to ‘AMINES’, which are exactly the same things.
Here’s a few snippets that took my eye.
First, proof that AMINES, described above, are one and the same as VITAMINS:
The term “vitamin” was derived from “vitamine”, a portmanteau coined in 1912 by the biochemist Casimir Funk while working at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine. Funk created the name from vital and amine, because it appeared that these organic micronutrient food factors that prevent beriberi and perhaps other similar dietary-deficiency diseases were required for life, hence “vital”, and were chemical amines, hence “amine”. This was true of thiamine, but after it was found that vitamin C and other such micronutrients were not amines, the word was shortened to “vitamin” in English
==
Read this next bit carefully, to see how we’re being fooled into making a distinction between ‘healthy vitamins’ and ‘unhealthy chemicals’ (or even just regular chemicals that can be useful in some instances, but poisonous and even lethal in others):
History of promotional marketing
Once discovered, vitamins were actively promoted in articles and advertisements….In 1942, when flour enrichment with nicotinic acid began, a headline in the popular press said “Tobacco in Your Bread.”
In response, the Council on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Association approved of the Food and Nutrition Board‘s new names niacin and niacin amide for use primarily by non-scientists.
It was thought appropriate to choose a name to dissociate nicotinic acid from nicotine, to avoid the perception that vitamins or niacin-rich food contains nicotine, or that cigarettes contain vitamins. The resulting name niacin was derived from nicotinic acid + vitamin.
How bout all those healthy vitamins in cigarettes!
I now, I am starting to wonder if the niacin / nicotine in the tobacco is part of what is inhibiting many of the GO and nanotech issues associated with the jabs… Because there is evidence that smokers are experiencing way less cardiovascular effects from taking the shots. But that’s a story for another time.
==
Point is: the AMA and FNB decided to make an arbitrary name change in 1942, to turn ‘unhealthy chemical’ nicotine into ‘healthy vitamin’ niacin.
But essentially, it’s the same nicotinic acid showing up in your smokes, and your ‘fortified bread’. And yes, nicotinic acid does have some health benefits, AND ALSO, some health drawbacks. It’s not either / or.
==
OK, so now let’s see if we can figure out what VITAMIN C actually is, or is said to be, and how it’s made industrially, and marketed as VITAMINS.
If you can be bothered, watch this short animated video, at double-speed (I started it at the interesting part):
==
If you can’t be bothered to watch, it says that this is how they industrially ‘make’ Vitamin C – the Vitamin C that ends up in pills and dietary supplements, not the real stuff you get naturally in fruits and vegetables:
So what follows, is what I could pick up from open sources.
==
First, that D-GLUCOSE is regular glucose, i.e. a sugar. Which is then turned into D-SORBITOL – which is apparently, according to this chemistry ‘Assay Protocol’ exactly the same thing as XYLITOL, the stuff Dr Ellie recommends to heal cavities in teeth.
Dr Ellie says in her book that drinking a lot of fruit juice and taking ‘Vitamin C’ supplements can wreck the enamel on people’s teeth.
Here is the ‘Assay Protocol’ explaining why that is:
INTERFERENCE:
High concentrations of reducing substances, such as L-ascorbic acid in fruit juices, or SO2 in jam, interfere with the assay as they react with INT causing a “creep” reaction.
==
Next, the XYLITOL / D-SORBITOL goes through more refining processes, to become L-SORBOSE, and then ACETONE.
Yes, the same chemical ACETONE you used to use to remove nail polish, before acrylic nails became the thing.
Now, we are starting to understand why ACETONE also shows up in the fake orange juice you can buy in the super, instead of the fresh-squeezed stuff. (All ‘VITAMIN C’!!!)
==
Next, the ACETONE is made into something called 2-KETO-L-GULONIC ACID, and apparently they just take the H2O out of that, and voila, you have ‘VITAMIN C’, aka ‘ASCORBIC ACID’.
At this point, I went to try to figure out what actually is this ‘refining method’ they are using, to turn ACETONE into ‘VITAMIN C’?
(Latin) Bacillus megaterium (after 2020, Priestia megaterium) is a species of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria used in biofertilizers in agriculture and horticulture]. It is one of the largest bacteria found in soil…. This species of bacteria can rarely cause meningitis, wound infections, and be a source of bacteremia.
What in the world?!
In case you don’t know what ‘Bacteremia’ is referring to, here’s the gist:
So, to plain English this, they feed acetone to the bacterium that cause meningitis, infections and bacteremia – and then that creates the liquid base that they then remove the water from, to create ‘VITAMIN C’ / ascorbic acid.
This is the industrial process used to create ‘Vitamin C’ – that same ‘Vitamin C’ we are all chewing on and chugging down, from the healthfood store, and high-priced supplement providers.
==
So now, I went back to try to figure out how xylitol is being ‘synthesized’ industrially.
I got to THIS, another chemistry document talking about the ‘Microbial production of xylitol, l-xylulose and l-xylose’. On the upside, it confirms what Dr Ellie is teaching, re:
As a meso-sugar, xylitol is an intermediate between d- and l-sugars. It has several interesting characteristics, such as the ability to prevent dental caries and ear infections.
On the downside – it’s being synthesized via E-coli bacteria:
[T]he xylitol-4-dehydrogenase from Pantoea ananatis was produced recombinantly in Escherichia coli and characterized.
There may be a natural way natural xylitol is stripped straight from the birch tree, this requires more investigation.
==
OK, now we’re on to ‘Vitamin D3’, aka, the active ingredient in rat poison.
Agent131711 did a good deep-dive on that subject, as already covered, which you can read HERE. Now that I’m back on his site, I see he also did a really good, long informative post called 101 reasons to quit vitamins.
It’s setting out a lot of the info I’m tracing back, in his own style, and with more details about more synthetic ‘vitamins’ – which is the ONLY type of vitamin any supplement seller is providing, even the really honest, moral ones, who swallowed this whole scam down, hook, line and sinker.
So, let’s take the short-cut on Vitamin D3, and dive right into ‘Vitamin K’.
==
Vitamin K and Vitamin D are apparently being touted as the ‘dream-team’ for bone building and retention.
HERE is just one example of an apparently above-board, scientific journal account of this amazing ‘synergy’. Snippet:
Overall, 12 studies involving 8216 participants were included in the qualitative analysis. Among these, 5 were randomized controlled trials, 6 were observational studies, and 1 was interventional studies. The results were interpreted based on improved bone health by assessing the progress in Bone Mineral Content (BMC), lower extremity function, Bone Mineral Density (BMD), and bone turnover. In contrast, improvement in cardiovascular health was recorded based on the Carotid Intima-media Thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness, high systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the structure of the heart. Out of a total 12 studies, 11 studies showed that Vitamin D work in synergy with Vitamin K and also has a significant role in improving bone fractures, low BMD, and cardiovascular disorders.
==
Sure sounds impressive….
I would have to go through every single study, doing the deep dive on each, to figure out if these results are true or not, and whether there was any ‘funny business’ going on, as there so often is, with ‘peer reviewed’ studies on new substances that can be sold by Big Pharma for big bucks.
I’m not doing that right now, but let’s just say, it wouldn’t be the first time such amazing health claims were being made by Big Pharma for stuff that is actually poison, and / or has serious, unacknowledged side effects.
Instead, let’s see how ‘Vitamin K’ is manufactured, and how it’s used, and then we can decide for ourselves, if it sounds like something that is promoting our health, or not.
==
Apparently like all this stuff, synthetic Vitamin K is manufactured by feeding different stuff to bacteria.
THIS description comes from a 2003 issue of the scientific journal, Current Organic Chemistry:
The first reported laboratory syntheses of vitamin K1 came independently from the laboratories of Fieser, [11] Binkley, [12] and Almquist / Klose [13] in 1939. Here, condensation of either, menadione 3 or 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone 4, with natural phytol 5 in the presence of oxalic acid or zinc dust in acetic acid, respectively, gave vitamin K1 (Scheme 1).
I’m not a chemist, and I don’t pretend to be.
But by the 1990s, they had refined the process of synthesizing ‘Vitamin K’, to include:
A final Stille coupling with prenyl bromide gave MK-1 in 90% yield (Scheme 6).
I looked up the toxicology of ‘prenyl bromide’ HERE, and it says it causes skin irritation and skin corrosion.
It also has a bunch of ‘codes’ for what else is going on with this, health-wise, like this:
So, I went to evil Grok, to ask it to translate. Here’s what it came back with:
This safety information is about a chemical that can irritate the skin, based on data from 1,333 companies reported to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Here’s what it means in plain English:
Warning: Causes skin irritation (H315): This chemical can make your skin red, itchy, or uncomfortable if it touches it. It’s classified as a moderate skin irritant (Category 2 under the Globally Harmonized System, or GHS).
96.47%: This percentage shows that nearly all (96.47%) of the 1,333 companies reporting to ECHA agree this chemical causes skin irritation.
Precautionary Codes (P-Codes): These are instructions to handle the chemical safely:
P261: Avoid breathing in dust, fumes, gas, mist, vapors, or spray from the chemical.
P264: Wash your hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling it.
P271: Only use the chemical in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling it.
P280: Wear protective gloves, clothing, eye protection, or face protection when handling it.
P302+P352: If it gets on your skin, wash the area with plenty of soap and water.
P304+P340: If you breathe it in, move to fresh air and breathe normally.
P305+P351+P338: If it gets in your eyes, rinse them gently with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if you wear them and keep rinsing.
P312: If you feel unwell after exposure, call a poison center or doctor.
P321: Follow specific treatment instructions (check the chemical’s safety data sheet).
P332+P313: If your skin gets irritated, get medical advice or attention.
P337+P313: If your eyes stay irritated after rinsing, get medical advice.
P362: Take off any contaminated clothing and wash it before wearing it again.
P403+P233: Store the chemical in a well-ventilated place and keep the container tightly closed.
P405: Keep the chemical locked up or stored securely.
P501: Dispose of the chemical or its container according to local regulations (e.g., at a hazardous waste facility).
Source: This info comes from 1,333 companies across 5 submissions to ECHA’s Classification and Labelling Inventory, meaning multiple companies handling this chemical reported similar findings.
In short, this chemical can irritate your skin, so handle it carefully, wear protective gear, and follow safety steps if you’re exposed. Always check the specific safety data sheet for more details.
==
While I was trying to pin this down more, I learned that there are two types of Vitamin K.
One type is called Vitamin K1 – aka Phytomenadione.
AKA ‘Hemophyt’ – literally sold as an anti-coagulation poisoning drug for dogs, at least in Canada. Snippet:
Description
Each film-coated tablet contains 50 mg of phytomenadione (Ph. Eur.), a vitamin K1 used as an antidote following ingestion of vitamin K antagonistic anticoagulants. The molecular formula of the active substance phytomenadione is C31H46O2.
==
Plain english, ‘Vitamin K1’ is a Big Pharma synthesized antidote for anticoagulant poisoning.
How are dogs being ‘poisoned’ like this in the first place, I hear you ask? Here’s the answer:
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Oral treatment should be undertaken within 12 hours after the end of emergency Vitamin K1 treatment by the intravenous route, or during the first 36-72 hours (early phase) after the time of confirmed/suspected anticoagulant rodenticide ingestion.
Plain english: the dogs are eating rat poison, or ‘rodenticide ingestion’.
==
What is the ‘active ingredient’ in rat poison, you want to know, I’m sure….
Why, that would be ‘Vitamin D3’.
Watch this (or just listen to it, if you don’t want to watch a woman on screen):
==
So yes, we see it is a ‘synergistic pairing’ after all!
The ‘Vitamin D3’ strips the calcium out of the bones, slowly over time, and also causes anti-coagulation poisoning to the rats and people taking it.
And then, the ‘Vitamin K1’ comes along, to reduce the anti-coagulation poisoning – in dogs. And people, who are taking these ‘synergistic’ supplements.
==
Here’s the safety info, for Vitamin K1, from that same Canadian dog site:
WARNINGS
People with known hypersensitivity to phytomenadione should avoid contact with this product. Wash hands after use. To avoid accidental ingestion, particularly by a child, unused part-tablets should be returned to the open blister space and inserted back into the carton.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Very rarely, erythema, pruritus, dermatitis, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and allergic edema have been reported.
You see all those references to skin allergies, irritation and corrosion?
You know where that is coming from, right? It’s the good ol’ prenyl bromide they use to synthesise ‘Vitamin K’:
In short, this chemical can irritate your skin, so handle it carefully, wear protective gear, and follow safety steps if you’re exposed.
==
What’s even more crazy, is that the hospital inject ‘Vitamin K’ straight into newborns as soon as they are born….
Tov.
I will stop there for now.
Do your own research, come to your own conclusions.
Good stuff that we can call ‘vitamins’ for want of a better word does exist in food, and in sunshine, and other things the Creator of the world created for us.
But the stuff you find in the pills, the ‘supplements’, is synthesized, and some degree of chemical ‘poison’, in exactly the same way that Big Pharma drugs are.
That doesn’t mean, btw, that some of that stuff won’t have beneficial effects at least some of the time, the same way regular drugs also do.
And to pull it back around to the discussion of fluoride, xylitol and teeth, if knowledgeable, conscientious and moral researchers can see that these substances can benefit if used in very precise ways, following very precise instructions, that’s something some people may want to consider, if the alternative is otherwise cracked teeth, root canals, and more injections of GO-laced dental anesthesia.
Each person has to do their own cheshbon.
But me personally?
I am staying far, far away from synthesized ‘Vitamins’.
But still using stuff like MMS, and colloidal silver, and essential oils, etc.
You think for yourself, dear reader, and my God grant us all continued good health, whichever path we follow.

UPDATE:
Just to keep this ‘complete’, I also went to look up Vitamin K2, apparently the other form of ‘Vitamin K’.
Long story short… ‘Vitamin K2’ is a byproduct of bacteria, AKA MENAQUINONES.
I am still trying to figure out the terminology, and would welcome any help, but it looks like ‘Vitamin K2’ is literally the bacteria themselves.
Take a look at THIS SITE: https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/50921
From what I can tell, no-one is actually ‘synthesizing’ Vitamin K1, because it’s literally the bacteria itself.
I am happy to stand corrected, if I am reading this wrong… but in the meantime, that seems to be where we’ve got to.
‘Vitamin K1’ is beneficial bacteria called MENAQUINONES, found in a bunch of dairy products and fermented foods, amongst other places, and ‘Vitamin K2’ is a chemical / drug called ‘Vitamin K’ when its sold as a supplement, and Phytomenadione, when it’s sold as a drug. And that last one seems to be the only one that Big Pharma can ‘synthesize’ and package.

First, Jude sent in a useful comment that I wanted to put into a post, so more people see it.
Here it is:
Thank you for bringing Dr. Ellie’s dental protocols to your readers’ attention. While I agree with her emphasis on maintaining proper pH balance in the mouth for optimal dental health, I respectfully disagree with her methods for several reasons.
First, her reliance on fluoride is concerning. Fluoride is known to calcify the pineal gland, which some believe dulls intuition and spiritual awareness. Its inclusion in our water supply lacks solid evidence of benefiting teeth. Additionally, Dr. Ellie’s mouthwash regimen introduces chemicals that can easily get into the brain and, and then there is the xylitol, which she recommends in large doses despite limited research supporting its safety. Harsh brushing, another component of her protocol, can damage gums and tooth enamel. Finally, her use of glycerin in toothpaste and mouthwash hinder teeth’s natural ability to regenerate.
That said, Dr. Ellie’s focus on pH balance and fostering beneficial oral bacteria is spot-on. There are gentler, more natural ways to achieve this. Eating alkaline foods like vegetables, leafy greens, and certain fruits can naturally shift the mouth’s pH and, over time, transform the bacterial environment in both the mouth and gut. Natural alternatives like cinnamon water, lavender, or other essential oils can help eliminate harmful bacteria without harsh chemicals.
I highly recommend looking into Amnon Levav’s protocol at Topheal here in Israel – https://topheal.ravpage.co.il/w1w-white – His methods have proven effective.
My wife has followed his approach and seen remarkable results in a short time, after years of trying other methods with little success. Happy to put you in touch with her if you’re interested.

Whenever I get firsthand information from people I know and trust, I am very happy to share it, as there is so much ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’ being spread about everything, but especially, what makes us healthy and what doesn’t.
That said, there are some clarifications required.
Dr Ellie says stay away from glycerin, wherever possible.
My personal experience of brushing teeth, is that hard brushing, including on the gums is useful – this is what Dr Ellie recommends, but many others disagree.
She’s AGAINST fluoride in water, strongly, and also AGAINST fluoride for kids, but says it has a role to play in adult healthcare. It may also be calcifying the pineal gland, but probably way less than using a smartphone….
The mouthwashes she recommends are specific, and avoid the really bad chemicals. One of them, Listerine, is based on essential oils – she says cool mint or regular flavour.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring alcohol sugar, derived from the birch tree, that was a key ingredient in the MIZWAK stick, chewed for millenia by various peoples, to keep their mouth healthy.

I looked up ‘xylitol’ and health issues – and quickly got to a bunch of articles saying it’s linked to cardiovascular issues by THIS study, put out by the Cleveland Clinic in June 2024.
This is the bit of the study that especially got my attention:
The research is part of Dr. Hazen’s ongoing investigation into factors that contribute to residual cardiovascular risk. His team follows patients over time and finds chemical signatures in blood that can predict the future development of heart and metabolic disease. He has made pioneering discoveries in atherosclerosis and inflammatory disease research, including the seminal discovery linking gut microbial pathways to cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.
Dr. Hazen also directs Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Microbiome and Human Health and holds the Jan Bleeksma Chair in Vascular Cell Biology and Atherosclerosis.
The study was supported in part by National Institutes of Health and the Office of Dietary Supplements.
Disclosures: Dr. Hazen is named as co-inventor on pending and issued patents held by Cleveland Clinic in relation to cardiovascular diagnostics and therapeutics.
==
Has this guy done any ‘research’ into the effect of the shots on cardiovascular health?
Nothing about shots, but two out of ten papers talking about how ‘consumption of red meat’ is linked to cardiovascular disease…
Do your own research, decide about xylitol for yourself.

In the meantime, while I was typing this up, I got an email from an old friend I haven’t heard from for a while, who was one of the first people to really clue me into the whole v ax issues, many moons ago, before Covid was even a glint in Fauci’s eye.
She told me this:
I started Dr Ellie’s complete mouth care system a year ago after many tefilos, and it’s all emes I have never felt bh bah so amazing on it.
Her routine prevented and healed so many issues I kept having. I put my kids on it and all my family members. I emailed her back and forth about any concerns I had about fluoride and listerine. Her responses were always so caring and her answers made so much sense to me ! Unfortunately the holistic dentistry failed me and was not as patient and kind as Dr Ellie was, whose goal is to keep you healthy and away from the Drs chair! Definitely do it and IYH you will have beautiful healthy teeth ad 120!!
==
I trust her, and she’s been doing this for a year and seeing things working.
I’m not saying this is better than what Jude suggested, BH, both seem to be very good options to explore, for anyone who is sick of being kept roped-into the dentistry scam, but just doesn’t know what else to do.
==
Now, let me tell you something interesting.
When all my own ‘cracked tooth’ stuff started up, in fact, two days before it started up, I got a call from someone at Shuvu who helps a lot of the poorest families in the community, some of whom are really not easy people to help.
She was asking if we could help cover the dental treatment of a lady who had really bad teeth, and no money to pay for treatment.
Initially, I got all self-righteous, and really didn’t feel like helping out just because someone couldn’t be bothered to brush their teeth properly….
Then, God sent me a cracked tooth, and I started to do a whole bunch of sincere teshuva.
==
The first thing I did was call back, and pay for her treatment.
That was two months ago.
Resolving the tooth has been quite the journey, for a number of issues, and it took two months of praying on this a lot, and really trying to make teshuva for stuff, to get to Dr Ellie’s book.
In the meantime… the week after I had my own massive filling done on the cracked tooth (after two months of dithering and worrying about the GO in the novocaine…), I got another phone call from the woman who tries to help Shuvu’s poorest families.
She needs two root canals, and they cost 4,000 nis, and she has no idea where she is going to get the money from. Can you help?
==
That’s a lot of money.
At the same time, the timing of it all was exact.
And I understood, that God was giving me the chance to have the ‘pain’ of paying for two root canals, without also having the ‘pain’ of having to experience them myself.
Long story short, we put the payments on tashlumim, and last week, the woman finally got the urgent treatment she had been waiting for, for two months, so her teeth would stop hurting her all the time. (Bezrat Hashem).
==
The day after all that, is when I found Dr Ellie’s book, and ordered it.
So, in some way it’s definitely the answer to some sort of ‘prayer’, that I can continue to avoid root canals for ever…
==
Last thing, is that I personally am not so sure that ‘supplements’ are what they are cracked up to be.
From what I can tell of the few other things I’ve read of his, he is a good, honest researcher, with no ‘hidden agendas’.
His research is ‘breadcrumb’ style, the same way I try to do my research, piling up the bits of information I come across, so readers can see how the conclusion is formed, and come to their own conclusions.
And according to him, vitamin D is the active ingredient in rat poison, the supplements industry is totally unregulated and run by ‘Big Pharma’ behind the scenes, and vitamins CANNOT BE ISOLATED and put into pill form.
==
When I first read this post a few months ago, and the others he linked to, I was so shocked by the information presented, I had to stop the deep-dive.
Not because it felt ‘wrong’, but because there was an overwhelming amount of info that seems to show he is right.
That’s my take at this point, I’m happy to stand corrected, and it’s useful to have this debate, because I know so many people are confused by all this, so first-hand information from real people is very, very useful to achieving clarity.
==
Ad kan.
May God keep us all healthy, and give us all the clarity to know what’s really required for that – especially, on the spiritual and emotional levels.
