The other shoe dropped on Ivermectin - it causes male & female infertility....oh, good to know.
Hubris vs Humility - We need a Humility Month; Pride and the 6 other deadly sins; vitamins like cyanocobalamin and folic acid may be a con, and our governments seem to be culling us & Ringo Starr.
There is a question of whether the CoV activists are trustworthy freedom fighters . . . or are they controlled opposition who are making money from telling us some partial truths and firing up a lot of enthusiasm for drug/supplement regimens that are more harmful than helpful?
I spent time looking into Ivermectin because Dmitry Katz, PhD was so strongly against it, and he is not always wrong with his controversial ideas. I relooked more recently and couldn’t find what I had remembered about the brain barrier - I hadn’t looked for fertility studies though.
Pgp inhibitors in combination with Ivermectin would increase the toxicity and many natural ones are recommended in CoV protocols too. Pomegranate and citrus peel would be Pgp inhibitors. (Singh, et al., 2021) Cancer cells can have too much Pgp and inhibiting it is a therapeutic approach in cancer treatment.
What is P-glycoprotein (Pgp)?
Pgp is a protein transporter which can increase absorption of drugs across a cell membrane or barrier.
“P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) is a member of one of the largest families of active transporter proteins called ABC transporters. Thanks to its expression in tissues with barrier functions and its broad substrate spectrum, it is an important determinant of the absorption, metabolism and excretion of many drugs.” (Singh, et al., 2021)
Some polyphenols may stimulate Pgp ATPase activity:
“Previous studies have shown that certain polyphenols interact with human Pgp. We tested the effect of 15 polyphenols of sour cherry origin on the basal and verapamil-stimulated ATPase activity of Pgp, calcein-AM and daunorubicin transport as well as on the conformation of Pgp using the conformation sensitive UIC2 mAb.” (Singh, et al., 2021)
Others inhibit ATPase activity of Pgp:
We found that quercetin, quercetin-3-glucoside, narcissoside and ellagic acid inhibited the ATPase activity of Pgp and increased the accumulation of calcein and daunorubicin by Pgp-positive cells. Cyanidin-3O-sophoroside, catechin, naringenin, kuromanin and caffeic acid increased the ATPase activity of Pgp, while they had only a weaker effect on the intracellular accumulation of fluorescent Pgp substrates.” (Singh, et al., 2021)
Some polyphenols didn’t affect Pgp:
“Several tested polyphenols including epicatechin, trans-ferulic acid, oenin, malvin and chlorogenic acid were ineffective in all assays applied.”
“Interestingly, catechin and epicatechin behave differently, although they are stereoisomers.” (Singh, et al., 2021)
The authors point out that dietary polyphenols may have drug-drug interactions with cancer drugs that also inhibit Pgp:
»> “Our results also call attention to the potential risks of drug–drug interactions (DDIs) associated with the consumption of dietary polyphenols concurrently with chemotherapy treatment involving Pgp substrate/inhibitor drugs.” (Singh, et al., 2021)
Ivermectin also can affect Pgp - increasing drug influx into cells.
“Moreover, ivermectin-treated cells displayed enhanced cellular efflux of the P-glycoprotein substrate calcein that was inhibited by the P-glycoprotein blocker valspodar, providing evidence that the ivermectin-induced P-glycoprotein was functional.” (Ménez, et al., 2011)
Pomegranate peel polyphenols do the same thing as Ivermectin - ‘enhance’ movement of calcein across a cell membrane. Calcein is one of the molecules that needs to be transported by Pgp. That doesn’t sound like enhancing the Pgp with quercetin or ellagic acid would increase absorption of Ivermectin - it would be adding to Ivermectin’s effects on the transport protein which might lead to certain types of drugs accumulating within cells instead of being transported out . . . or more would be transported in? Is this a two-way transport system or it depends on the agonist? I don’t know enough about this yet. In the Ivermectin study, a known blocker of Pgp was used, and the Ivermectin seemed to reverse it. (Ménez, et al., 2011) In the polyphenol study, quercetin and ellagic acid inhibited ATPAse activity of Pgp and the calcein accumulated in the cell.
This helps - Pgp is preventing large molecules from entering cells - like cancer drugs, and inhibiting its ATP function allows entry of the large drug. Pgp is using energy to keep things out.

Ivermectin is used as an insecticide
Ivermectin consistently has been shown to be beneficial as an insecticide rather than as an anti-viral. It also seems to be effective as a spermicide or birth control device leading to almost 100% reduction in successful pregnancies and a huge drop in sperm motility with a smaller but large drop in sperm count - studies on lab animals and humans being treated for the River Blindness condition suspected to be caused by the larvae of a species of fly.
This video includes some inflammatory language but is mostly academic in presentation style with links provided. Video: (bitchute.com) Reference links: (timtruth.substack/ultimate-guide-to-anti-fertility)
Tim Truth has built a strong case showing that the drug Ivermectin might be a cash cow being used on people in Africa as a ‘donation’. When just one person is diagnosed with River blindness, the entire village is treated with ‘free’ Ivermectin.
Tim Truth’s video was embedded in a post by Agent131711’s Substack which makes a strong case for the idea that River blindness was never really proven to be caused by a fly larvae but that theory was seized upon when Ivermectin became ‘discovered’ and patented as a drug by Merck.
*I don’t agree with all of Agent 131711’s opinions about commercial vitamins, but some truth is being shared.
» Vitamin D3 in excess can kill a rat, or a dog, or a human. It is a hormone when activated and is a bit like taking steroids rather than like taking vitamin C or E or B. Vitamin A is not a seco-steroid but also has hormone-like properties and like vitamin D3 can affect which genes will be made into proteins or not. When activated they are more like thyroid hormone and the three have regulatory or co-regulatory power over a lot of genes. People who don’t need extra vitamin D because they eat enough cholesterol and get enough sunshine, will have the vitamin D supplement be broken down into cholesterol again - if they have the enzyme that deactivates the hormone form. People with parathyroid cancer or certain other conditions (like HIV) may not be able to break down the activated hormone and then excess of it can cause severe hypercalcemia - and extreme irritability or anger and pain, sound sensitivity, and other symptoms. *Addition - Vitamin D3 is more bioactive, inactive forms would likely be safe for rats, dogs and most humans.
» Regarding ~ “vitamins are made in mutant bacteria or mold” - yeah, lots of things now are grown for us in modified microbes. The product individually might be quite safe or not, might be a mold allergen risk or not, but the fact that it was grown in a microbe is not inherently ‘dangerous’. When we have a healthy gut microbiome then our Bifidobacterium species are making a whole bunch of vitamins for us. We should say thank you and feed them more tapioca and zinc to show our gratitude (~ Vietnamese salad roll with pumpkin seeds in the filling) and pomegranate peel.
Humans may need a bit more humility - and recognition that we need our gut microbes because they can help nourish us with essential vitamins.
The root word of human and humility is humus - soil, earth, ground - to be human is to be near the ground, to be humble is to be grounded in reality.
“Humble doesn’t necessarily require living in poverty — but it does mean that you make the best of wherever you find yourself.” Humility and Hubris: what it means to be Human. | by Noah W. | Medium
The words humus and hubris sound alike but the meanings suggest to Noah W. that hubris is a compensation mechanism we may use to feel less lowly, less grounded in mundane reality:
“This possible relationship between humus and hubris contains a suggestion that lowly creatures compensate for their low status with delusions of aggrandizement (a species-wide Napoleon complex, if you will).” Humility and Hubris: what it means to be Human. | by Noah W. | Medium
Being “at one with nature”, versus being “at two with biotechnology” - a paraphrase of a quote by Woody Allen who felt “at two with nature”.
“Being at two with biotechnology requires the hubris (audacity, self-assurance) of a creator and the humility of a creature, while living in a narrow place between power and restraint. The point toward which I gesture in this essay is that to exercise power without restraint is weakness; to master the will to mastery itself is the true mark of humanity. That is the kind of humanity that nature requires of us all, especially now.” Between Hubris and Humility | Center for Humans & Nature
We have been seeing a lot more audacious claims than humble ones lately.
We need a Humility Month, was pointed out in Notes by Theodore Atkinson, in response to a meme showing that PRIDEMONTH contains DEMON, coincidentally, and others have pointed out that Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Why does it deserve its own month? …. because we all deserve to feel good about ourselves even if we are quirky… but we don’t all have to walk around naked though to prove that we feel good about ourselves.
““Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5b”
Giving pride its own month though, is part of a larger trend in my opinion, of making the 7 deadly sins just part of daily life - even a desirable and admired part of daily life. My comment:
Gluttony (and/or hypothyroidism) is winning Miss Alabama.
Lust is everywhere online and in the general media world. Children and teens are being encouraged to be sexual at young ages.
Sloth is encouraged with video games, TV, social media and sitting still in school.
Greed is goooood. Greed is ruling the day.
Envy is now called Instagram 😁
Wrath is being promoted. I think we are being set up for civil war type of issues and vigilantism.
It is easy to be wrong about what you believed. When presented with facts that seem to disprove it, do you listen and dig in a little deeper? Or do you put your fingers in your ears and go “Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah” until the uncomfortable thoughts go away? Or do you dismiss it immediately because you know what you know and you know that it is right?
“A person with a classic case of hubris is defined as someone having exaggerated pride or self-confidence. According to Merriam-Webster, English picked up both the concept of hubris and the label for cockiness from the ancient Greeks who considered it as a seriously dangerous character flaw that was capable of provoking the gods.
We understand this somewhat from Greek mythology where hubris becomes the downfall of a tragic hero after offending the gods due to extreme pride and ambition.” Hubris vs humility | Philstar.com
Dr. Jen Gunter’s latest post is a sad one, she is taking a temporary leave from writing Substack’s because her adult son had a surgery not go well. He has been fragile since premature birth. She shared that she became a loudly vocal online advocate for evidence-based medicine after her own difficult pregnancy with triplets in which one was delivered early and died and she managed to keep the other two in utero for another month and delivered them as very early and fragile premature babies. That is a very high-risk pregnancy and it is hard on premature babies - poor sight is common because eye development happens towards the end of pregnancy, and ongoing digestive issues are also common due to the microbiome not getting a good start. Probably tooth enamel isn’t great either. I am not a specialist on very early prematurity but I did help some mothers with lactation (double pumping with an electric pump is needed) or special formula needs.
» » » Aside - the vaccine schedule that is so overloaded for babies and young children….is given to premature infants with little to no change in the schedule or dose. Babies are given the set schedule based on the day they leave the uterus, with no change for being 14 weeks early - 3.5 months early. That means a premature infant is being jabbed with many vaccines before they would even have been due to be born - and an infant’s immune system for making Memory B cells isn’t even full developed until about six months after a full-term birth date.
“I believe one of the reasons our lives are so difficult today is because of the separation from the rest of the natural world that we’ve insisted on having, our insistence on the primacy of human life. Human history, you know, is but one dimension of natural history. It’s not the other way around.”
—Barry Lopez [2], Between Hubris and Humility | Center for Humans & Nature
Humility - if we have been wrong in the past, it is wise to remember that we may be wrong in the future or present too.
<been there, done that>
Humility - knowing that you may be wrong about this topic, because you are human, and we make errors. Humble - I am not better or worse than you and you are not better or worse than me, because we are both humans and humans can make errors.
“Humility is modest and respectful; hubris is proud and arrogant. Humility practices an egoless attitude; hubris exhibits an egocentric persona. Humility has a proper perspective of its capabilities; hubris is overconfident. Humility depends on God and others; hubris thinks it is self-contained. Humility is an aspiring virtue; hubris is a venomous vice.” Humility Not Hubris - Wisdom Hunters
In my own health journey, and pregnancies, I have made some errors, and am glad that my babies did okay overall - nothing too serious. I did choose to have home births because the C-section rate at the time ~ 25% based on my own survey of random customers shopping at an upscale produce market … and being checked out by me. Surveys made my day go by faster. “Yes, please change the overhead music….” that didn’t get changed but I did learn that ~ 25% of woman who took childbirth prep classes (and checked out their groceries in my line), still ended up with a C-section. I hired a midwife instead ~ $900 which insurance paid part of. I didn’t randomly choose that - a fellow employee had homebirths with a midwife and recommended it.
The current C-section rate in the US is 33% or more.
My home-deliveries went fine and breast feeding also, which had been a main reason that I wanted to avoid a C-section - they tend to mess up the breastfeeding relationship.
~~
Hubris is kind of the opposite of humility. Hubris knows everything and is always right based on having always been right and always knowing everything (detect the logic flaw for bonus points).
~~
Our governments seem to have an agreement to cooperate in depopulation of the masses.
~~
We are supposed to look the other way and simply carry on until it is our time to be randomly culled . . . and/or we are supposed to actively resist by taking the alternative media’s recommendations for Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
My main point lately has been, if Ivermectin worked that great against CoV issues, then why do people still have CoV issues?
~~
With my recent sudden hair loss I slightly wondered/dark humor wondered if I had Walter Chesnut’s late-onset, spike-related progeria? (Progeria is rapid aging in children due to gene changes.)
I don’t think so, I have not been feeling ‘CoV’ like symptoms for quite a while. I have had other health issues but what has seemed to repeat with passive exposure relapses hasn’t been happening lately. I think pomegranate peel and Wormwood and other herbal suntea ingredients are helping my autoimmune tendencies. The dust mite issue is definitely an issue - I live in a dust mite palace - a museum of pretty things with little to no upkeep.
The hair loss has slowed thankfully, and castor oil on the scalp is amazing and totally worth the oily hair, because it helps the hair too after you wash it out - you tub will be greasy, caution: slip/fall risk. My sudden hair loss likely was my switch to Epsom salt in hope of helping with the foot and back pain - which it did. However, sodium lauryl sulfate is known as potentially ‘corrosive’ to hair follicles and it can cause brittleness and breakage may cause temporary hair loss. So, now I may end up with half a head of very short hair and half a head of long hair - stay tuned for funny pics.
~~
I have been suspicious of the CoV activist network because they all seem to work together and to say the same things AND it has been shown that when the MSM wants to shut down a topic, they can and do. That suggests that while it is to appear that we are being prevented access to Ivermectin, it likely just made more people eager to try it in whatever way they could.
When we are told to keep our hands out of the candy bowl, then invariably our hands WANT to go into the candy bowl.
~~
Humility vs hubris - Dr. Gunter isn’t the only person who recognized that wrong things are being recommended, and she isn’t the only person to go on making sweeping recommendations that would be 100% likely to be wrong for some people because humans aren’t one person for whom one recommendation consistently and always works.
Oatbran was a funny food trend that made me laugh a bit - oatbran on a waffle or donut, is still a junky food, not a health food. It also armed me against the dangerous trend of “vitamin D at mega-doses is safe and wonderful for everyone!”. Oatbran in waffles was funny, seco-steroid ‘not really a vitamin’ D being added willy-nilly to random products to jump on a buying frenzy trend would not be funny. It would be dangerous to the small part of the population with parathyroid cancer or other causes for hormone D to be activated too much. Too much active hormone D can cause anger and violence - think “Roid Raging” in weight-lifters.
Dr. Gunter got big on Twitter in part because of the jade eggs that were on Gwyneth Paltrow’s site. Low hanging fruit - celebrity ‘health’ recommendation turned out to be not that healthy and potentially dangerous if someone was stupid about it. For a gynecologist to state that inserting jade into your vagina is not really a health strategy and might harbor pathogens - would be common sense to most of us anyway - and is within the scope of practice. A sweeping statement that no one should get screened for MTHFR gene variants and that no pregnant person should take methyl folate instead of folic acid is way out of the scope of practice of a gynecologist. Gynecologists are not geneticists or nutritionists. Someone who had a difficult pregnancy has specialized experience in that type of difficulty, but wouldn’t necessarily know what it was like to have a standard pregnancy and full-term infants.
I am writing about the folate/folic acid issue because Dr. Gunter is correct - the mainstream medical and functional health world hasn’t been treating methylation cycle differences very accurately. Many different gene differences can be present and add up to varied needs for supplementation, not just hand the person high dose folic acid or methyl folate. Riboflavin seems more critically important for the most common C677 MTHFR variant. Betaine is frequently included in methylation support supplements but for me - too much of that is bad and I need the DMG that it would be converted into if my BHMT gene worked efficiently.
I have run into several instructors who blithely share how wrong they had been to make that recommendation for so many years….and then go on to blithely make a bunch more sweeping recommendations without seeming to realize that they could totally wrong again.
In 6th grade my English teacher made a few points about a report I had written for an assignment - 1. NEVER use Reader’s Digest as a source reference - ALWAYs look for the original source material. 2. NEVER use the word ‘never’ and ALWAYS avoid using the word ‘always’ in your report.
Her tips stuck with me - possibly because of the wordplay, but also because Reader’s Digest had been standard reading material for years - my mom liked them and bought the Reader’s Digest condensed novels too. Those novel condensers were quite good at getting the highlights of a novel without losing too much from it.
What I have since noticed about online writing and readers - people like the strong arm ‘confidence’ of “I know what to do to fix you! You just have to do exactly what I say!” But only if the person already has gobs of followers or seems to. Trump bought followers, but he wasn’t the only one to do so.
When we trust the mob to know what is best for us, then we may not like the results, or we may pretend to be very satisfied because apparently everyone else is happy about it … right?
The stranglehold on media is to keep the masses believing or accepting that they are happy - this is what is happening, so I will just go along with it - or I will resist it by going along with the also popular but ‘alternative’ counter-culture strategy. The alternative may also be causing infertility. If the cullers ultimate goal was to cause infertility by the mRNA jab or by Ivermectin seeming to be the counter-culture recommendation, then the cullers are winning at their goal of greatly reduced fertility rates. And we have seen greatly reduced fertility rates.
Eat food. There are antivirals in food.
Humility and Hubris
Humility versus hubris -
- Brave AI does a better job on this than on folic acid and production of osteocalcin.
Humility and hubris are two contrasting traits that can have a significant impact on an individual’s behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. While humility is characterized by modesty, humility, and a willingness to learn, hubris is marked by arrogance, pride, and a lack of self-awareness.
Key Characteristics of Humility:
Modesty: Humble individuals recognize their limitations and avoid boasting or seeking attention.
Humility: They acknowledge their mistakes and are willing to learn from them.
Open-mindedness: Humble people are receptive to new ideas and perspectives.
Empathy: They understand and respect the feelings and experiences of others.
Self-awareness: Humble individuals have a realistic understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
Key Characteristics of Hubris:
Arrogance: Hubris is marked by an inflated sense of self-importance and a lack of humility.
Pride: Individuals with hubris often prioritize their own interests and desires over others.
Self-centeredness: They focus on their own achievements and accomplishments.
Lack of self-awareness: Hubris often leads to a lack of understanding of one’s own limitations and flaws.
Defensiveness: Individuals with hubris may become defensive when confronted with criticism or feedback.
The Consequences of Hubris:
Isolation: Hubris can lead to social isolation as others become wary of the individual’s arrogance.
Conflict: Hubris often leads to conflict and disagreements with others, as individuals with hubris are unwilling to listen to opposing views.
Missed opportunities: Hubris can prevent individuals from learning from their mistakes and growing as a result.
Negative impact on relationships: Hubris can damage relationships and create a toxic environment.
The Benefits of Humility:
Stronger relationships: Humility fosters empathy and understanding, leading to stronger, more meaningful relationships.
Personal growth: Humble individuals are more likely to learn from their mistakes and grow as a result.
Increased creativity: Humility can lead to increased creativity and innovation, as individuals are more open to new ideas and perspectives.
Better decision-making: Humble individuals are more likely to consider multiple perspectives and make informed decisions.
In conclusion, humility and hubris are two contrasting traits that have a significant impact on an individual’s behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. While hubris can lead to negative consequences, humility can foster stronger relationships, personal growth, and increased creativity. By recognizing the importance of humility and striving to cultivate it, individuals can lead more fulfilling and successful lives.

Ringo Starr is a good poster celebrity for “Humility Month”
Ringo Starr being interviewed by Dan Rather - yes, the Beatles would argue but it never got in the way of the songs. In a comment to the video, it is mentioned that Ringo had said that having been an only child he was glad to join the band, it felt like gaining three brothers. Ringo said he hated practicing and learned how to play by jamming with other musicians. In the interview he said “I love being in a band. I’m a band guy.” - Ringo Starr
Making music together can feel a little like flying as one being. The group is making sound waves that are in harmony and rhythm - synchronizing beautifully (unless it is the Avant garde stuff that Yoko Ono made - sure we can scratch fingernails across a chalkboard, but why?).
As a former ‘band widow’, you have to learn that you are ~ second place to the band. Apparently, Yoko Ono wasn’t willing to be a band widow. (*Or her musical style was modifying John’s musical preferences in a direction that Paul didn’t want to pursue. After Brian Epstein’s death McCartney took more of leadership role than the group or co-song-writer John Lennon was used to. There was brief talk later of John, Paul and David Bowie doing something together musically - spoiler, it didn’t happen. *embedded below, (Youtube)
Of the Beatles, Ringo is the only Beatle that became famous to a generation of children, not as a musician, but as an 18-inch-tall train conductor on the children’s show Shining Time Station (for the first 3 seasons). It was the first introduction of Thomas the Tank Engine to the US viewers. Ringo as Mister Conductor tells us the Thomas the Tank Engine stories. “…when their hopes are down, I try to raise them.” - Ringo Starr Surprising twist - George Carlin the comedian became a much beloved replacement, mini-conductor, after Ringo’s character moved to the North Pole to help Santa Claus. (Youtube)
George Carlin thought the character and show did so well with children because the miniature conductor could help them with adult concepts but being so small he wasn’t threatening at all. Ringo was described as having loved being the mini-character and having children ask for an autograph from “Mister Conductor.” Children who grew up with Mister Conductor only later learned that he happened to be a good drummer too. (Youtube) *Addition - pertinent detail - while somehow comedian George Carlin managed to be an excellent mini-conductor on the TV show after Ringo Starr left due to scheduling difficulties (making a 20 episode show each year is likely time consuming), Alec Baldwin as a movie version was a flop. I don’t think Alec Baldwin would make a good poster Celebrity for Humility Month either.
Drumming is a grounding music - keeping a steady beat, like our planet’s rhythmic beat.
More about Ringo’s history - his birth name was ~ Starkey. He is more of an improvisational drummer - intuitive, rather than skilled at being able to repeat a rif exactly each time. He spent a large part of his childhood in hospitals after having a burst appendix turn into peritonitis, and then later got TB and spent time in a special place for tuberculosis where he was given a drum - and loved it. His first ‘drum-set’ was different sized biscuit tins (metal boxes that held cookies). The Untold Truth Of Ringo Starr, (Youtube)

Your English teacher posessed intelligence viz the ability to filter properly, not regurgitate. As for today's deadly sins, Proverbs 6:16-19 hints.
The former 6 are all damnable, but the 7th is most detestable, because it is opposite to the chief virtue charity, it breaketh unity, and is the proper sin of the Devil.
