ENERGY LEVEL EXTREMELY LOW. Red flags waving. Red lights flashing. Fatigue abounds. There's an abundance of ideas in my thought life of what I can be doing, but the lack of energy rules the roost.
Since I don't know when this co vid thing truly hit me, I have to go off of when I started coughing wet coughs then nearly passing out which came two days later. If I go by the coughing, then I have been ill for 9 days. If I go by the nearly passing out, then it's a week. If by chance I had co vid when I was coughing dry coughs the past 6 weeks...well then I have no idea when I was stricken with co vid.
I telephoned the Doctor's office to visit with their nurse about having a very low heart rate and was advised to stop taking the PAXLOVID. Over the week-end my heart rate should return to normal being about 67 beats per minute. I don't think I would have paid any attention to having a 40 bpm heart rate if I hadn't been checking oxygen levels. Oxygen level excellent.
Since I couldn't find my blood pressure monitor, we had one delivered from the pharmacy. BP is high. If it isn't one thing, it's three other things. I won't be taking my evening dose of PAXLOVID in hopes of raising my heart rate back to normal. Since my oxygen level is good and I have no fever or chest tightness and it's not difficult to breathe, I am fairly confident that I am on the mend. The coughing fits hit ever so often and I am overly tired. The tiredness could also be attributed to having a super low heart rate. I don't want to go into cardiac arrest so I pray to improve.
Not reading anything on the net about death occurring because the heart stopped due to taking Paxlovid at home. I wonder if this is being censored. Hush hush because it's so new. Hum. I don't plan on being a statistic.
Health is a precious commodity isn't it? I'd like to be as healthy as possible. When I read up on how to achieve this, there is no mention in the articles that having peace with God and following His commandments contributes to having superior health. I know it does. I truly want to be at peace with God. Living a clean life contributes to being healthier.
This is just some of the ways I have changed the course of living and some on what I was already doing. Not bragging or boasting when I say I do not smoke. I seldom drink alcoholic beverages. I don't do recreational drugs.
I do try to eat healthy...believe I can continue to improve as it is an ongoing adventure. Cut way back on milk consumption. Occasional ice-cream. Cheese and butter allowed. Almond milk from time to time. Nuts allowed. Eating leaner meats. Eating healthy fats like olive oil. No high fructose corn syrup. Avoiding sugary drinks such as colas and fruit juices. Cut out drinking coffee. Seldom eat cake, pies, donuts, cookies or deep fried desserts. Eating multi-grained breads when I do eat breads. Seldom eat pork. Soy-free eggs instead of typical eggs out of the grocery store fridge. Mostly eat organic fruits and vegetables. Eat more grass fed beef than not. Wild caught salmon. Avoid fluoride. Use more organic, chemical free products. Avoiding plastics, working at using glass for food storage. Xenoestrogen be gone.
I have never used non-stick cookware with teflon, but that doesn't mean the many places I have dined hasn't. I wouldn't know. Now to pray more, worry less, walk more, talk less. Look for the good in LIFE and continue researching.
Endocrine Disrupters is a whole different animal that I know exists, but need to study up on. This will take some doing to be aware of EDs and stop using products that harm people.
SO what is the harm with XENOESTROGENS? They mimic estrogen causing an overload on the body.
Xenoestrogens are “foreign” estrogens, substances that are close enough in molecular structure to estrogen that they can bind to estrogen receptor sites with potentially hazardous outcomes. Sources of Xenoestrogens include plastics, pesticides, chemicals, and water systems.

The effects of harmful xenoestrogens isn't a issue discussed or encouraged to investigate by the secular world that encourages homosexuality or being able to identify as a woman...too high of estrogen exposure causes harmful affects on the human body morphing body chemistry. This messes with the hormones which seriously affects the human body in strange ways. Sex changes are sought after as the golden standard of dealing with xenoestrogens damage, but the greatest deception is that I WAS BORN THIS WAY and there can't be any other reason that could possibly have caused issues with someone or convinces them otherwise.
Could being exposed to too many Xenoestrogens while developing in the womb be a concern to the developing baby? What about after being born then developing as a toddler throughout childhood into teenagers and adults? How can this not be wondered about?
Endocrine Disrupters is something I will be reading more about.
We are born with free will and have the ability to sin, but to ignore life changing damages that xenoestrogens do to the human bodies should not be ignored. Is it easier to believe that we are born this way than to investigate the damage excessive estrogen does to humans even in the mother's womb? This environment we are born into and live in is challenging. What other deceptions does the devil want us to believe as truth when it isn't truth at all?
Earth was once viewed as square. It wouldn't be until much later that the reality of a round planet was the way it is. Using hormone replacement therapy on women was viewed as helpful not so long ago. Every hysterectomy patient was placed on hormones and told that the hormones would protect the heart and prevent strokes. Now studies show that extensive hormone replacement contributes to dementia, stroke and heart attacks. SO which is it? They are good for women's health or they are harmful when taken too long? Which way does the pendulum swing?
How harmful are XENOESTROGENS? I heard about the awlfuls way back in 2000. That's 22 years ago and I ignored what I was hearing. If I had harkened to this info, I truly believe I would not have experienced so many unhealthy issues and would be healthier than I am today. Why did I ignore the info I was hearing? Not wanting to believe I was living in such an unhealthy environment. Pride? Fear? Thinking myself more superior than I should have?
The use of highly processed foods laced with chemicals, pesticides, GMOs, environmental issues....chemicals used for grooming, chemical laced fabrics, etc. contributes to additional health issues. I have a decade long history of urinary tract infections, huge fibroid tumors, gall bladder issues which led to having a gangrenous gall bladder, thyroid cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, OBESITY. As much as I'd like to think that I am basically healthy, I think this would be delusional.
Because I didn't want to believe what I was hearing concerning xenoestrogens, it was easier to ignore the truth than to believe it. I am stubborn and lazy that way.
My journey in changing the way I am eating has been in slow motion like pushing a rock up hill. I am not very eager to change. The studying and researching has to soak in deep before I respond to changing. What would have a hold on me so tightly that I would not change for the better?
After I had a decade of urinary tract infections, I was grasping at straws trying to figure out why I was suffering so. Use white toilet paper, wipe front to back, urinate before and after sexual intercourse. Wear cotton underwear. So I did not knowing that cotton products are some of the dirtiest crops on the planet due to being heavily sprayed with chemicals that do not wash out, but remain in the fibers. If the cotton used to make the undies is chemically treated then there will be health issues.
I went so far as to visit with a sanitary pad company representative that poo poo my concerns about what the pads were made of. Umpteen years later there is more evidence that the bleached cotton in pads is extremely bad for The WHO HAA of a female's anatomy where the sun don't shine.
Today, there is much discussion about fibroid tumors being formed from the chemicals coming off of the bleached cotton from sanitary supplies, underwear and toilet paper. Should we be concerned about what our underwear is made of? There's concern. Same with toilet paper that is treated with chemicals and bleach. What about ovarian and uterine cancers? Makes me wonder if men's prostate troubles has to do with chemically laced cotton underwear and all the xenoestrogens in soaps. In cleaners, detergents, etc.
When foods are stored also warmed in the micro-wave inside plasticware, there is evidence of harmful chemicals leaching into the food. Plastic bottles do the same with bottled water. Heat causes the plastic chemicals to leach into the water even if it's spring water.
Doesn't sound very healthy does it? Overwhelming I understand. Perhaps this is partly why I wanted to ignore the bad news and pretend that everything is alright just the way it is. How could so much evil exist in this world right up my alley? How can so many want to profit from their products that are harmful to people and the environment? Surely there aren't that many uncaring people out there or are there? So many are more interested in making money than being concerned of the ill effects of what has been done to products. I was extremely naive. Not so much anymore.
What is it that the Lord says about the root of all evil comes from the love of money? Does He mean what He says? Yes, He does. I must believe His words.
1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I know that this post is rather vague on much. Just skimming the cream off the top, but that seems to be where one starts before diving into a subject matter getting to the nuts and bolts of it. I've mentioned Xenoestrogens, Endocrine Disrupters, chemicals which are an interest to me in this modern world we live in. Getting more familiar with organic foods and cleaning products is part of this journey. What if avoiding Endocrine Disrupters made way for healthier people?
A turning point for better living and health.
