Dr. Kia Pruitt: In recent weeks, the Nation of Islam, a big religious organization within the African American community, bestowed NINETY ounces of GOLD upon their leader, the Honorable Louis Farrakhan for his 90th birthday. This was a monumental gift and a huge statement! Giving gold is a tradition in many religions and cultures, because GOLD is precious. In India, whether in the villages or the city, it is tradition to gift young brides GOLD, because the bride is seen as an embodiment of Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity. Furthermore, Gold is a store of immense value. Gold is wealth.
Donald Trump once received 32 Oz of gold from Apmex when the company leased space in one of his towers. He mentioned then that this is is the wave of the future. Why? Gold is real MONEY. Gold maintains it's value and never looses value. Gold is a hedge against inflation and it can be easily liquified, if needed. Silver is the same. Gold and silver are constitutional money and have always been recognized, since pre-biblical times, as MONEY. Therefore one should consider #gold and #silver when considering the times in which we live where countries are leaving the US Dollar and joining #BRICS. This covert agreement to leave the Dollar and join BRICS is known as Project Sandman. According to Project Sandman, when triggered, countries will drop the US Dollar, and rush to gold for trade. Putin was that trigger. When this dropping of the US Dollar happens, the dollar and all dollar denominated assets will plunge to near-zero. Then we will likely experience what Jim Rickards calls an "ice nine" scenario where the entire world will freeze over economically.
In America, state legislatures have removed taxes from the sales of precious metals. Doing so, makes precious metals LEGAL TENDER. Additionally, states have actually passed legislation to make gold/silver legal tender, in alignment with the Constitution which identifies gold/silver as LAWFUL MONEY and the only thing to be used to pay debts. There will be no government-instituted CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), forced upon us. We the people will not stand for it and neither will our law-makers, which is why many conservative lawmakers have already introduced and/or passed legislation to ban CBDCs and make them UNLAWFIL. It is also the reason that Representative Alexander Mooney (WV), along with Andy Briggs and Paul Gosar (AZ) introduced several bills, (HR 5404, HR 9157, HR 2435) known as the Gold Standard Restoration Act, to define the dollar as a fixed weight in gold and to return us to the gold standard. This is our great nation's response to the tyranny of fake governments which have enslaved us Americans and the entire world by exacting usury upon us and by forcing us to use fiat, backed by no commodities. A debt-based economy is evil, ungoldy and non-biblical.
BRICS, the union made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has already made a tremendous impact, by leaving the US Dollar and allowing other countries to join her. Currently, all exporting nations, reportedly, have joined BRICS, leaving only North America, parts of Canada and Mexico to officially trade with the US Dollar. However, Mexico recently applied to join BRICS! Now America is also leaving the tyranny of the Federal Reserve Central Banks and the draconian/reptilian bloodline families which have enslaved the planet. While most people will not report what is actually going on behind the scenes, a few people, like Bix Weir, Andy Schectman, Dr. Kia Pruitt and other "conspiracy" theorists aka gold bugs can see the handwriting on the wall! The entire world is moving back to the GOLD STANDARD.
As the masses awaken to this news that the entire world has joined BRICS and dropped the US Dollar to use gold/silver and other commodities for trade, they will rush toward gold/silver as safe havens. They will roll their fiat-debt based currency into precious metals, because as the Nation of Islam stated, while bestowing gold upon their leader, gold is precious. Gold never loses its value! Gold is MONEY! The dollar has lost more than 98% of its value. We are almost at near zero. Plus, we WILL have a massive stock market crash, because stocks are tied to the fiat-based system. Is your retirement safe? Remember, Janet Yellen, US Treasury Secretary stated on January 19th, when the US had reached the debt ceiling? She said that the way to make themselves whole is to dip into the RETIREMENT accounts of government and postal workers. Who's next? Speaking of the debt ceiling, lawmakers have been having issues agreeing on whether or not to raise or suspend the debt ceiling. How long can they continue to kick the can down the road? The US is BROKE, bankrupt and defunct, but nobody will say this out loud. The Moors will though. Ask them what's really happening....
Awakened people can see what's happening. We can see the handwriting on the wall. Can you? I see a massive GOLD RUSH: https://rumble.com/v2qyhwn-andy-schectman-gold-rush-bank-failures-debt-ceiling-crises-and-geopolitics-.html

I know I just posted about advice for my trip to Reno (used the cooler hack and wipes worked great thank you.)
But now I have another issue. From may 25th to June 2nd I was pumping 29-31 oz a day. It was beautiful I was able to store and it was just great.
Now today I have to pump 3 oz the next session to get 25oz for the day. It’s been a steady decline 28oz, 26oz, 27oz which made me think duckbill needed to be replaced. I don’t know what happened I mean yesterday I ate out twice when I normally don’t. I drink 64 oz of water along with a Gatorade and an Arizona tea. In my first drink and my last drink I put in this lactation drops two droppers each time.
I don’t think I need more drops. I just replaced my bills yesterday and saw no difference. I’m 4 months pp I pump 7 times a day about 3 hours apart. What parts do I replace? I use a spectra pump (the blue one). I use lansinoh pumping bodies but thinking about switching to spectra ones if my avent bottles fit.
I’m just at a loss I wanna keep going until a year but I’m back down to barely making enough.

I am noticing the bags are a little different, thinner and flimsier and weigh 28 oz. Cooking a bag now doesn't seem as many fries as before.
I could have sworn they use to be 32 oz. Tried Googling for older packages and even tried the Wayback Machine. Couldn't find any older packages.
Am I imagining this or does someone have an old picture showing the bags were 32 oz.?

I just need vent a little bit, thank you for reading.
Within 10 minutes of setting up in a retirement home to replace a pump seal and bearing, a resident stole my 32 oz SS vacuum sealed hydro flask that was both expensive AND plastered with my favorite women in the trades stickers. He tried to take my hard hat, too but I caught him and he somehow disappeared. The building manager couldn't contact him so I'll probably never get it back. Another resident demanded I smile. And then at another site while contacting the head of maintenance to get let into a building he falsely assumed I was a lady in the office letting him know the tech was there. Like, no, I said I was here to do the annual inspection.
So yes, I did eat m&ms for dinner.

Hi folks, I'm still in my researching journey, tho I have a follow-up w my metabolic specialist tmrw.
I'm considering Oz but read in another post about depression being a side effect. I've struggled w Anxiety and depression most of my life and have been on Lexapro for about 2 yrs now. I've had suicidal thoughts only once in my life, tho I have a family history with one parent attempting.
I am dx w hypertension, cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and sleep apnea. All are currently controlled aside from the sleep, im still getting set up w my cpap. I have been on metformin for PCOS for years. Always had stubborn belly flab even when I was active and exercised. Currently 32 BMI. Female 44 non smoker.
I suppose I should discuss w my doc tmrw.
Just wondering if anyone can share their experiences on Oz with depression or anxiety, medicated or not.
TIA
