Some years ago, just before Christmas, I nearly died from Pneumonia. The scary thing was that I didn’t even realise that I was at death’s door. One minute I was laughing and joking with a mate on the phone, and the next I passed out. At that point I knew something was wrong. The phone was still in my hand. I dialled 999.
Two paramedics arrived within minutes. I managed to get to the front door, let them in and climb the stairs to my living space. I was standing by the sofa feeling dizzy and struggling to stay upright when one of the paramedics said “you don’t look very ill Mr lawrence” At that point I knew that I had to show these guys I was sick, so I let myself go and fell back onto the sofa. The paramedics rushed for a stretcher and took me to Abergavenny hospital in Wales, UK where I spent the next 21 days: ten of which were in the Intensive Care Unit. My oxygen level was 30% – at this level I was suffering from severe hypoxia, that’s the same state that we get into when drunk , and the very reason I didn’t realise at first that I was sick. The pleural space between my right lung and chest was full of several litres of fluid which was drained by a doctor plunging a needle through my rib cage. Eventually with the aid of a full face oxygen mask my oxygen level returned to 100%.
At the time I sort of went along with the mainstream germ theory notion that it was some pneumococcal pathogen which causes pneumonia. I now know that pathogens don’t cause disease and that my pneumonia was caused by stress. That year had been super stressful for me: bereavement, law suits, debts etc. On top of that I was binge eating and drinking a lot. Hmmm, looking back it seems that I got my just deserts.
The big danger with stress is that we are seldom aware of it. Stress it seems is a normal fright, flight or fight reaction and an essential part of our existance and survival. However, I have since learnt that at high levels it causes deadly toxins and alters the body’s acid/alkaline balance. Thousands of years ago we would have naturally burnt off these toxins with the exercise of flight or fight, but in our modern society, with many of us in sedentary jobs, these toxins don’t get eliminated naturally and end up damaging our bodies. The worst thing that we can do when under stress and anger is to bottle it up. Much better to lose your cool, blast off and go do some exercise or don some boxing gloves and take it out on a punchbag; preferably one with the face of Benjamin Netanyahoo or Volodymyr Zelenskyy pinned to it.
Anyway, with all the horror that has gone on since last Christmas, and with the whole of the Middle East continually under attack by Satanic forces of the Western Globalist elite, those of us who have been researching and doing our little bit for a peaceful world will have been put more and more under stress. So I think that it’s time for us to take a break if we are to survive. Of course we will all differ as to how aware of the amount of stress that we are under and how much we can take, so it is up to everyone to find their own comfort zone.
There will allways be death and destruction in the world, and us incessantly worrying our butts off about it won’t make it go away, it will only make us ill. We need to maintain a balance between living a normal life and playing our part in the truth movement, taking on what we can handle. If we make ourselves sick then we are no good to anyone.
So Ho Ho Ho, it’s Christmas, the festive season when most of us will be with partners, family and friends. It’s time to unplug, turn off, take a break and celebrate. Go get merry, wear a silly Santa hat, party and laugh your ass off. Laughter is the best medicine, it lowers blood pressure and drives away the stress.
At this time of year some other mammals won’t be in party mode, they will be going into hibernation, digging a hole, making a nest and sleeping through the cold winter months. Hmmm. . . . come to think of it that’s not such a bad idea either.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025.
