A registered nurse with 30 years of experience treating chronic pain says she saw “TEN TIMES” the positive effects after mixing DMSO with castor oil to treat her peripheral neuropathy.

Castor oil on its own has anti-inflammatory effects, but adding the DMSO is where she says it “got interesting.”

That’s because DMSO “isn’t just a treatment, it’s a carrier,” Danielle Minetti explained.

“It can pull medications and nutrients right through the skin barrier deep into the body.”

That’s why when Danielle mixed DMSO with castor oil, she saw “ten times” the positive results.

Because DMSO acts as the delivery system, carrying the castor oil deeper into the areas where she needs relief most.

DMSO is a naturally occurring compound that is primarily derived as a byproduct of the wood pulp and paper industry, which makes it widely and affordably available.

But that also creates a problem...

Because if a treatment can’t be patented, Big Pharma can’t profit.

And that simple reality is where the DMSO story takes a dark turn.

So what happened to DMSO, and why is a substance that is so medically promising still relatively unknown to this day?

Let’s take a closer look. 🧵
The real story isn’t whether or not DMSO worked.

The real story is how a low-cost, widely available substance became an early case study in medical distrust.

Regulators suddenly restricted it. Doctors dismissed it.

But patients kept using it.

And once that happened, official medicine no longer controlled the story.Image
DMSO was discovered in 1866 by a Russian chemist, then largely forgotten.

In the 1950s, the paper industry needed new solvents. Dimethyl sulfide from wood pulping could be oxidized into DMSO.

That industrial turn set up one of the most unusual medical controversies of the 20th century!Image

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna and his family just purchased one of the most expensive houses in Virginia history.

At $10 million, this McLean 7 bedroom mansion ranks in the top 10 of the 4 million homes in the state.

The prior, small home was demolished to make room for this McMansion. Image
Ro pretends he is a modest and humble guy. Over the course of the next few months, I will reveal much more about Ro Khanna. He's just a rich guy lying to everyone about virtually everything.

At the end of this, I predict his wife will file for divorce.
I blurred as much of the house out so reverse image search does not find it, out of respect for privacy. No such respect was shown to me by Congress or the media. I reached out to Ro's people many times for confirmation with days of response time and received no response.

Alright, I'm back home from the System Source Swap Meet and Warehouse Sale. You might have seen my video clips earlier, let's post some pictures! Time for a 🧵 Image
Image
Check out this Power Macintosh in its original box. Now, based on what was in the warehouse, there was some stiff competition for this. I don't think it sold. Image

Image
What would a swap meet be without a free pile? The pile did ebb and flow a bit (I think I have more pictures too, we'll get to those), but here is what I saw first thing in the morning! Image

🔥🔥🔥The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is linked to Barack Hussein Obama thru Civic Nations, “We The Action”.

SPLC works at “We The Action” along with other organizations such as the Trump Resistances, Indivisible, John Podestas Center For American Progress, Catholic Charities, Planned Parenthood, and Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote. I’ll provide a larger list when sourcing.

We The Action (WTA) provides free attorney services for far left social justice causes. Such as representing illegal aliens and abortion rights groups. A biggie was fighting the 2020 election in every way possible.

For the 2020 election, WTA lawyers have worked on 41 different projects with 25 different organizations in support of the 2020 election and election integrity.

Which brings us to names. Yeah Marc Elias of Perkins Coie was there. On top of this, 99% of the main team there were Obama admin lawyers or his OFA folks. I’ll provide details in the thread.

Civic nation, directed by Valerie Jarrett, was created to hold the Nongovernment Nonprofit Organizations (NGO’s) that Obama created while in office. Yes, Obama created non profits while in office.

Over the years, Civic Nation has expanded. It even held Michelle Obama’s “When We All Vote”, and Obama’s very recent “Change Collective”.

“We The Action” launched in July 2017, and was incubated by the Emerson Collective.

The Emerson Collective once held the Obama Fellow, Tiana Epps Johnson, who ran Zuckerbucks.

Michelle Obama’s When we all vote even had events sponsored by the Emerson collective.

Barack Obama’s My Brothers Keeper is partnered with the Emerson Collective. He launched the My Brother’s Keeper program in February 2014, in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.

Sarah Baker joined as the first executive director of We The Action, after serving in the White House for six years, as Special Assistant and Associate Counsel to President Obama and Senior Policy Director to Dr. Jill Biden.

I’ll source everything below. And on a future date we need to discuss the Emerson Collective and Civic Nation orgs further. I have discussed both in the past.Image

This Forbes article would be a great introduction to, “We The Action”. And it shows some of its partner orgs, but not all. And this also mentions it being incubated by the Emerson Collective. As you can see, the SPLC is listed too.

This article also mentions Illegal immigrants, abortion rights and the so called “Trump Muslim ban”. Plus more.

“We The Action is a unique online volunteer platform that makes it easy for lawyers to volunteer their skills with leading nonprofits that are fighting for justice and equality.”

“Baker: We launched in July 2017, incubated by the Emerson Collective. I joined as the first executive director after serving in the White House for six years, as Special Assistant and Associate Counsel to President Obama and Senior Policy Director to Dr. Jill Biden.”

“2020 election WTA lawyers have worked on 41 different projects with 25 different organizations in support of the 2020 election and election integrity.”

“Our nonprofit partners range in mission, focus, and size, from start-ups to legacy organizations. Some of our nonprofit partners include: Rock the Vote, When We All Vote, Transgender Law Center, Tarjimly, One Million of Us, FreeFrom, The Immigration Justice Campaign, Run for Something, Southern Poverty Law Center, and more.”

I have multiple partner lists for, We The Action. I’ll list two of them here, because in the future we need to discuss Obama’s past with the Election Protection Committee, and the Lawyers Committee.

Also note Obama’s linkage to Catholic Charities. 😬

- Catholic charities
- Planned parenthood
- National Democratic Redistricting Committee

When Goodluck Jonathan was President, his Party (PDP) had a problem in his State (Bayelsa).
He flew over to resolve it & reconcile the Warring Parties.

At the Reconciliation Meeting, one name kept popping up: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban Borgu!

Jonathan was SHOCKED...
Asiwaju had been involved in the Reconciliation Process BEFORE the President flew in!

When he got back to Abuja, he had a meeting with Asiwaju & asked: "What's your business with the Local Politics in Bayelsa State?"

Asiwaju replied, "I'm building ALLIANCES, Your Excellency!" Image
This was BEFORE the APC was formed, when PDP was still very much in Power and on Ground Nationwide.

Asiwaju had been spreading his tentacles all over the Country for about 20 years BEFORE he ran for President.

Look at the case between Fubara and Wike in Rivers State...

Stop saying "I feel I deserve a raise" in your performance reviews.

Here are 18 professional alternatives you can steal:
You are asking for an allowance from a parent. You are signaling that you do not understand how capital actually moves.

Here are 18 rules to strip the subordinate weakness from your compensation talks, build actual leverage, and force real capital: ↓↓
1. The "I Deserve" Trap

Situation: You list your personal sacrifices and say you deserve more money because you work hard. You think management tracks your late nights and assumes your exhaustion naturally converts to a reward.
System: State your exact financial impact and operational leverage. "My automation saved the department $400k this year by eliminating manual data entry. I am requesting a $40k base increase to reflect this new baseline."
Why it works: Businesses do not pay for effort, stress, or personal sacrifice. They pay strictly for ROI, risk mitigation, and scalable leverage.

A doctor in the 1950s was "healing" terminal cancer patients with carrots and coffee.

(no chemotherapy, no radiation & no patents)

Here is the story of Dr. Max Gerson & the full protocol he used: Image
He was a German physician who cured his own migraines and tuberculosis with diet alone (then turned the same approach on cancer)

His conclusion was that cancer (and most chronic diseases) come from toxicity buildup and severe nutrient deficiency.

One of the most controversial approaches in medical history (read his full protocol):Image
1. Toxicity overload poisons cells.

Modern diets, chemicals, processed foods & stress flood the body with toxins that damage the liver and alter cell metabolism.

Gerson's fix was simple – flood the system with organic enzyme-rich nutrients to detox & rebuild, starting with 13 glasses of fresh raw juice every day to correct the potassium-sodium imbalance in cells.

If I sold my company tomorrow, I'd build my next multi-million dollar business in 90 days using Claude.

Here's the exact five-person AI team I'd hire on day one. Steal every prompt.
THE RESEARCHER

Job: Find the customer pain. Validate it before you build.

Most founders skip this. They build something cool and try to convince people they need it. That's how you go broke.

Prompt:
"Act like a world-class researcher who meticulously checks their work. List the top 5 urgent and painful problems faced by [target customer], with supporting evidence from Reddit, Amazon, Facebook, and other real sources. For each problem, show me the exact language people use to describe the pain, where they're already trying to solve it, and what existing solutions are failing them."

If people aren't already complaining about it, the idea is dead.
THE STRATEGIST

Job: Turn the pain into a free offer people race to download.

Forget the perfect product. Forget the polished funnel. Build a lead magnet so good your customer would pay $50 for it. Then give it away.

Prompt:
"Based on [insert pain points], suggest 5 lead magnet ideas people would fall over themselves to download. These should be so rich in value my target customer would pay $50 to $100 for them. Rank them by fastest to build, cheapest to launch, and most likely to get sign-ups."

Don't take the first answer. Push back until you find one people can't resist.

Early Christians had a complete Bible by the 4th century — but that’s not the only thing they were reading to deepen their faith.

If you want a true connection to ancient Christianity, you need to read these 8 books: Image
1. The Didache, Anonymous, 1st cent.

The Didache is a brief discourse that contains moral and ritualistic teachings—a handbook for a Christian life.

It’s speculated the apostles wrote it, and contains the formulas for baptism and eucharist that are still used today. Image
2. The Shepherd of Hermas, Hermas, 2nd cent.

St. Iranaeus considered it to be canonical scripture. Though it missed the cut, it’s a fascinating work that centers around the life of a former slave who's given mystical visions and parables informing him how to live a faithful life Image
