Public Health: Tips and information on how to prepare for the epidemic, avoid illness and protect our communities.

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

I got stoned and then did a breathing meditation.
It was a breathing pattern
4 count inhale, pause and hold 3,
Exhale 5 count slow exhale
So it took a lot of concentration
Did if for
33 minutes
During the time I felt my lungs caving in like i was a Covid 19 Patient suffering from shortness of breath. It was freaky.

As more controlled studies are coming in, it appears hydroxychloroquine is minimally effective at best, this study balances out the one from France that was about the same size. We are back at square one, but large scale trials are underway right now in NY and they will provide the definitive answers soon. This happened before with this drug using other viruses, in theory it's suppose to work and it does in vitro, but there is disappointment when it's trialed on humans. Medical science isn't done with this drug yet, but it will know if it's of any use at all pretty soon.

A lot of people had their hopes up about this drug, myself included, we were in the company of many experts and scientists, it would be of immense value in poor countries, as well as rich ones. The jury is still out for now because of conflicting data sets of apparently equal quality and size, one from France and the other From China.

Don't control the breath just feel it, you're an observer, not a doer, the breath will breathe itself automatically and will become more shallow as you relax and your O2 requirements drop by up to 15%. You enter a hypometabolic state, with reduced respiration and heart rate, while your body is deeply into repair, rest and digest mode and is taking care of internal business.

Sounds like you're upsetting your blood CO2 levels and going into hyperventilation, breathing into a paper bag for a minute is the traditional cure. Regular practice will increase your immunity and reduce the adverse effects that stress has on it.

Here are some quick tips, info and motivation, a short video that I posted before, but it sounds like you might wanna watch it Amber.

That is bizarre. Lol! I was watching like 3 min and got sick of looking at his notes and pointing with his pen. Then i fast forwarded and all 15 min was the same thing. Those arent quick enough tips for me. Can you do the Spiritual Warrior Series and tell me what you think? Elliot Treves on Insight timer. He has 2 meditations in the Spiritual Warrior series.

Never heard of him, but I'll have a look and see what he says. Morals and ethics have a tribal basis in my view and to war is to be human, there are always assholes to deal with. There are many ways up the mountain and not everyone wants to reach the summit, many are enlightened enough for their own purposes. Warriors put others first, their communities, soldier comes from the Greek word soldat, meaning one who is willing to be slain (in defence of the community). You're already a warrior Amber, the real thing, not just in spirit, warriors protect and defend their communities while risking and giving their own lives and that is exactly what you are doing.

Thank you!
it is hard to go to war without PPE though. We ran out of my favorite surgical mask today and i was bummed but i forgot i stashed 2 away in a Port access kit i made over a month ago and it was like Christmas all over again!!
new rules and regs are getting establishes everyday. Big changes everyday now. I was told we need 40% more capacity at the hospital and everyone is going to telehealth if possible.
The hours on my P95 are dwindeling away so im going to have to wear that P100 soon.

i have to come to terms with the reality that i need to stop smoking weed everyday. The masks are very hard to breath and talk out of. i really need my ganja now too. I cant stand edibles or tinctures or vaping or anything but bong hits so im fucked!

Well Amber ya know how to stay healthy, eat right, exercise and relax to keep stress at bay. PPE is going to be an issue and temporary solutions will need to be found, I posted a DIY video for a N95 that looked pretty good, made it from hot air furnace filter media, it's the same stuff that the masks are made from. Perhaps someone there could organise something to make approved N95 masks from certified instructions using N95 hot air furnace filter media as a temporary solution. I fear it might be some time before supply meets demand for proper equipment, nurses are using garbage bags in NY and it's just beginning. We need one of those quaint WWII type volunteer efforts, a lot of imagination and innovation, just add organization, money and willing hands will not be a problem in your community.

Help is also on the way, in the UK the government asked for 250K volunteers for the healthcare system 500K volunteered overnight, you'll see similar things in America, you already have in NY, look for such efforts to grow rapidly. Your entire community is eager to support you folks in any way they can.

sometimes, advice from spirit warriors simply has to be ignored

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

You know what i just realized. The super sani- cloth germicidal wipes are irritating my lungs.the constant chemical fumes from wiping down everything is contributing to my lungs hurting. If i wear the P100 when i disinfect and wait for the odor to subside maybe i can keep hitting the bong.
yes i have watched several of those diy mask videos.
I am not quite there yet.

Is that P100 designed for absorbing organic vapors?

I was talking about a community effort making approved designs as a temporary solution from available materials, you take care of sick folks, volunteers make the masks under supervision from approved designs.

Try using an alcohol only wipe on the respirator, many wipes contain Benzalkonium Chloride and that is most likely causing your issues, the last thing you need now is respiratory inflammation! Use 70% iso alcohol and a paper towel to sanitize it if you don't have alcohol wipes and let it dry for a minute.

 

[Fogdog]

Yeah, I always get the best medical advice from RIU. Great financial advice too.

 

[DIY-HP-LED]

Is that P100 designed for absorbing organic vapors?

If I recall correctly the pink ones like she has have a layer of activated carbon foam as well as a particulate filter and are rated for organic vapors, though I need to look it up again to be certain. The filters are a flexible bag like design to fit under face shields better.

What brand and model is your 1/2 face respirator? Used to do this stuff for a living and have specific training in most aspects of it, I'll check some references, since you don't have anybody there training you to use and maintain this equipment.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Is that P100 designed for absorbing organic vapors?

Yes. Its better then the N95 by 5%.

Yes , that is correct. I have 2 more sets of pink replacement filters . The P100 filters are good for 40 hours as apposed to the N95 mask which is only good for 8 hours. Some people have face shields they use with the N95 to help with longevity and others are cutting some kind of surgical cloth and placing it on top of the N95 mask to help with longevity.
There are very good reasons the N95 mask is the gold standard for me. It fits great, i can breath easily with it on and most importantly i can communicate easily without panting for breath or having to yell at the top of my voice at my very hearing compromised older patients and i dont have my nose build up moisture and start dripping down my face as the trapped moisture accumulates inside.

as far as a perfect fit goes. I dont have time to burn incense every time i put it on to check the fit. I take it on and off like 16 times or more a day. And i do the best i can with positioning. It would be a dream to have a new P95 mask to use everyday for the full 8 hour shift and keep it on all day then discard it , but at this point i am having to switch up masks continually all day to conserve what i have because the future is so uncertain.
No one gives a fuck about how their masks fit. There was an email that was circulated to everyone showing a picture how to wear your mask and how not to because some people were not putting it over their Noses! Thats how stupid people are here. Its pathetic.

Disposable N95's are what you need, the reusable types are what you might be stuck with for now, if you are lucky, if not, community based DIY manufactured types will be used. These reusable respirators are not the best for communication as you well know, you should try talking with a full face respirator on! The big problem Amber is gonna be how to keep you folks in PPE until we can get proper gear made and delivered, reusable DIY PPE clothing and respirators, along with garbage bags will have to do for now. Ya go with what ya got or can make do with, it doesn't have to be pretty or elegant, it just needs to get the job done for now.

People are moving heaven and earthy to get the proper PPE gear made and delivered, not everybody is an asshole like Trump and his supporters.

Take care Amber

Say what you want about individuals who believe in spiritual matters if you like, but nobody defeats the ancient wisdom that is written in the biblical scriptures of the Bible.

I have told you how nothing new can exist under the Sun, Nothing!

Ecclesiastes 1: 9-11

9 "What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”? It has been already
in the ages before us.

11 There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be among those who come after."

If this is a forum of religious equality then I should be allowed to express my belief equally as others here.

I don't believe this virus exists because God said that nothing new can exist under the Sun, we are near the End of Time according to Bible prophecy, that means that nothing new can exist suddenly that hasn't once before scourged the Earth.

We would have antibodies to this virus had it existed before, the notion that this is a new virus means that it is a fake virus, it is not real, ancient scripture says that it is not possible, I'm not going to accept what anyone can try to explain to me over what the Bible foretells.

I believe in God and his word wholeheartedly, and I'm going to Die believing exactly what the Bible says is True.

post memes and replies of inequality if you like, but I will never forget about God's word and the wisdom foretold within it, I hold the words of scripture above what any person alive could possibly ever speak.

I won't budge believing that this is a hoax, and God is guiding me into the proper understanding of things above all else in existence.

Here's a link if you'd like to know more about what I am in agreement with:

The Insanity of Leaning on Our Own Understanding

When we choose to lean on our own understanding, we act as if we are smarter, wiser, and more authoritative than God.
