Over 100,000 federal workers resigned from a Trump administration program today, impacting Treasury, Agriculture, and Defense departments most significantly.
This mass departure is part of a broader effort to reduce the federal workforce.

Addressing nutritional status is a critical step in managing Long COVID.
Correcting deficiencies can help support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and alleviate symptoms. Always consult with a healthcare professional.

Viral infections like Covid-19 strain the body's resources, rapidly depleting key nutrients.
This depletion weakens immunity, creating a vicious cycle that delays recovery and extends symptoms.

Vitamin D plays a major role, but other deficiencies—especially B12 and C—are also linked to Long COVID.
Their symptom overlap suggests a broader nutritional depletion may be driving persistent post-COVID effects.

Long COVID (PASC) causes lingering or recurring symptoms long after initial SARS-CoV-2 infection.
New research suggests micronutrient deficiencies may play a key role in worsening these prolonged effects.

Recovery from post-COVID musculoskeletal dysfunction is not linear and varies for each individual.
The key is a personalized, patient-centered approach that integrates multiple strategies.

In Long COVID, exertion can trigger delayed symptom flare-ups called Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM).
Pacing helps prevent this by balancing activity and rest within your body's energy limits—it's not avoidance, but smart energy management.

"Dude, where were you when I planted the earth? Tell me, if you are so wise. Do you know who took its dimensions, measuring its length with a cord? What were its pillars built on? Who laid down its cornerstone, while the morning stars burst out singing and the angels shouted for joy!"

"To stay with that shakiness — to stay with a broken heart, with the feeling of hopelessness and wanting to get revenge — that is the path of true awakening. Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic — this is the spiritual path."

Controlled opposition is hard to spot, but patterns can expose it.
If a group gets heavy media coverage yet avoids challenging core power structures, it's worth examining its funding and true agenda.

These strategies aimed to control dissent and neutralize perceived threats without public accountability.

It lets them shape the narrative, defuse real resistance, and maintain control while appearing to allow debate.
