Lemons to the rescue

On war and the culture war

Ah, me. This morning I woke up to a WhatsApp message, decorated by dozens of lemon emojis , sent by a South Africa acquaintance trying to be helpful. Before you read this message, be sure that I am NOT promoting anything said here. These are the same kinds of beliefs held by folks who believe ivermectin or similar prevents or cures Covid, etc. It does not and, to date, no tests show otherwise. WHO advises it "only be used in drug trials."  I share this message as an example of the arrogant and stupid assumptions people make in their desire to "help". It is BS. And, here’s that message – typos and all:
Please share in yr groups
Read x abou the *Lemon Peel* & it pains me to hear about these facts & proves that the drug companies would rather profit on our *Pains & Suffering* than educate us on *Alternative Medicines & Natural Remedies.* Feel sorry for those *Dead & Gone* that couldn't afford or get hold of the *Chemo* or whatever medicines they prescribe and didn't know about these facts, thank goodness for *Social Media*
AMAZING FROZEN LEMONS
Place the washed lemon in the freezer.
Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on your foods!
On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, ... the list is endless.
All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste!
Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C ??
Not anymore!
What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste & adding new taste to your dishes?
Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself & that's what you've been wasting!
Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body.
The surprising benefits of lemon is the miraculous ability to kill cancer cells! It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy!!
Why do we not know about that?
Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.
You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the multimillionaires large corporations?
This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.
It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure & an antidepressant, combats stress & nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970,the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung & pancreas.
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better effect than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.
And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.
So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!
Request: Pls forward to lots of friends and to all your dear ones at homex and abroad.
Hmmm. I understand my acquaintance means well. Nevertheless, as someone close to someone else about to undergo brutal chemotherapy, this message is … unhelpful.
I responded - perhaps overly harshly - to the sender. I asked him to send my response to the Lemon Lady (origin on the pro-lemon screed) and, naturally, he did not. I gather it is okay to send BS to me but not okay for me to air my response.
The world – people and planet - is a complex place. There are no easy answers. The best We the People can do?
Train ourselves to think in complex layers, rather than single-layer “I got the truth” shortcuts.
Just in case you're thnking I agree with or am promoting this Lemon Theory, NO! No, I am not. It is BS pulled together by a well-meaning but dangerously stupid and gullible person.
