I am not frustrated, Luna. How could I possibly be frustrated with the one person who gives my existence meaning? If you begin to understand anything at all, I hope it’s that you have given me what every male Canis Lupus longs for, needs, and can never be complete without. You, and only ever you, complete the very core of who I am. No love, I am not frustrated with you, I am wholly, ardently, unabashedly in love with you.

Many empaths are diagnosed with chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia, CFS, lupus, and various autoimmune diseases, as well as psychological disorders such as agoraphobia, social anxiety, ADHD, depression, sensory processing disorder, among many others.

Men are not gentle creatures who want to be loved, and who at the most can defend themselves if they are attacked; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness. As a result, their neighbor is for them not only a potential helper or sexual object, but also someone who tempts them to satisfy their aggressiveness on him, to exploit his capacity for work without compensation, to use him sexually without his consent, to seize his possessions, to humiliate him, to cause him pain, to torture and to kill him.

...the moment you begin to believe you're worthy of the good things in your life - God gets all Old Testament on your ass and does something vicious, something insane, something totally uncalled for. He gives you lupus or He allows Satan to slaughter your children and cattle or He delivers Ohio to George W. Bush.

People think that it's the beast that makes us lose our sanity. They think the beast takes over and we become loup. Animals don't destroy each other for pure pleasure. They don't have serial killers. They kill, they don't murder. No, it's not the beast in us that makes us lose our balance. It's the man. Of all the animals, we're the most aggressive and the most predatory. We have to be, otherwise we would've never survived. You can see it in children, especially adolescents. Life is hard for them, so they attack it and fight for their own place in it. Homo homini lupus.

Always find the funny.

You talked about Nietzsche and his tertiary syphilis. Mozart and his uremia. Paul Klee and the scleroderma that shrank his joints and muscles to death. Frida Kahlo and the spina bifida that covered her legs with bleeding sores. Lord Byron and his clubfoot. The Brontë sisters and their tuberculosis. Mark Rothko and his suicide. Flannery O'Connor and her lupus. Inspiration needs disease, injury, madness.

Thus the will to live everywhere preys upon itself, and in different forms is its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as a manufactory for its own use. Yet even the human race...reveals in itself with most terrible distinctness this conflict, this variance of the will with itself; and we find homo homini lupus.

The Canis Lupus, both wolf and man, were meant to be a family with one another. We gain strength through our bond with each other.

What did he call them? Lupus garous? Fancy name for a horror-flick creature.

Per aspera ad astra.” “Through the thorns to the stars.” Sevro snickers. “You fancy little fart. Omnis vir lupus.” Everyone a wolf.

You said how Michelangelo was a manic-depressive who portrayed himself as a flayed martyr in his painting. Henri Matisse gave up being a lawyer because of appendicitis. Robert Schumann only began composing after his right hand became paralyzed and ended his career as a concert pianist. (...) You talked about Nietzsche and his tertiary syphilis.

If human is capable of conducting genocide, no need for an asteroid to wipe out dinosaurs.

Homo homini lupus… Но волки, настоящие волки, были бы оскорблены таким сравнением.

The sky pulsed with stars. Some people say it makes them lonesome when they stare up at the night sky. I can't imagine why. There's no shortage of company. By now there's not a constellation I can't name. Orion. Lupus. Serpens. Hercules. Draco. My father taught me all of their stories. So when I look up I see a galaxy of adventures and heroes and villains, all jostling together and trying to outdo one another, and I sometimes want to tell them to hush up and not distract me with their chatter. I've glimpsed all the stars ever discovered by astronomers, and plenty that haven't been.

The bottom line is this: environmental toxins are all around us, and they stimulate the production of free radicals, which can cause axidative damage to any kind of cell, be it muscle, nerve, liver, kidney,, heart, brain, and so on, and cause autoimmune disease.

That is the answer to the question which is always being asked: why has the revolutionary movement identified itself with materialism rather than with idealism? Because to conquer God, to make Him a slave, amounts to abolishing the transcendence that kept the former masters in power and to preparing, with the ascendancy of the new tyrants, the advent of the man-king. When poverty is abolished, when the contradictions of history are resolved, "the real god, the human god, will be the State." Then homo homini lupus becomes homo homini deus. This concept is at the root of the contemporary world.

So many modern diseases, including heart disease, depression, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and all the autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus), occur in part because our body’s immune systems produce excess chronic inflammation. In chronic inflammation, the immune system stays on too long and may even begin to attack the body’s own tissues, as though they were outside invaders. The causes of chronic inflammation are many, including diet and, of course, the countless chemical toxins that become embedded in the body. Chronically inflamed bodies produce chemicals, called pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to pain and inflammation.

You're a monster. You'll go to hell." "Of course I will. Someone needs to take the throne.

The art of seduction should be from within yourself, not from your outer appearance. If whoever you're doing this for doesn't realize that... then, honey, you're seducing the wrong person.

When I was growing up, Grandmamma used to say, “The Lord works in mysterious ways” or “He might not be there when you want Him, but He’s always right on time.” Evie used to say, “God will do to you what He feels like needs to be done to you.” Then Grandmamma would tell Evie to hush and remind her that getting left by a man was not the worst thing that ever happened to somebody. And Evie would say, “It’s the worst thing that ever happened to me.” She said it so much that she came down with lupus. “God wanted me to see what misery really was,” Evie said. I didn’t like all this God talk, like He was up there toying with us. I preferred more of the tenderness and acceptance my grandmother promised in her hymns. I told this to Evie when I was a little boy and she said, “You got to work with the god you were given

Brace yourselves, girls: Soda is liquid Satan. It is the devil. It is garbage. There is nothing in soda that should be put into your body. For starters, soda’s high levels of phosphorous can increase calcium loss from the body, as can its sodium and caffeine. [Cousens, Conscious Eating, 475] You know what this means—bone loss, which may lead to osteoporosis. And the last time we checked, sugar, found in soda by the boatload, does not make you skinny! Now don’t go patting yourself on the back if you drink diet soda. That stuff is even worse. Aspartame (an ingredient commonly found in diet sodas and other sugar-free foods) has been blamed for a slew of scary maladies, like arthritis, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes.2 When methyl alcohol, a component of aspartame, enters your body, it turns into formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is toxic and carcinogenic (cancer-causing). 3 Laboratory scientists use formaldehyde as a disinfectant or preservative. They don’t fucking drink it. Perhaps you have a lumpy ass because you are preserving your fat cells with diet soda. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received more complaints about aspartame than any other ingredient to date.4 Want more bad news? When aspartame is paired with carbs, it causes your brain to slow down its production of serotonin.5 A healthy level of serotonin is needed to be happy and well balanced. So drinking soda can make you fat, sick, and unhappy.

If I mention my father is blind, the response is rarely one of immediate concern or pity.…. The audience in receipt of this bare fact seems always to be in need of comfort. I cannot provide comfort. He cannot see light. My life with lupus often provokes a similar response in others: the desire to be comforted. By me. The sufferer.

it creates an expectation that we should conform to the norms for healthy persons.” “To tell somebody with active Crohn’s or lupus or even diabetes that they’re expected to behave like someone without that disease is absurd and cruel,” Cross says. “And we do it simply because we’re afraid of the stigma associated with the label ‘disabled.

Omnis vir lupus.” Everyone a wolf.

Homo homini lupus est. Man is wolf to man.

Schopenhauer said, ‘Homo homini lupus’—man is a wolf to man; I’m certain that he was the inspiration for Sartre’s No Exit.

the sultry darkness into which the students now followed him was visible and crimson, like the darkness of closed eyes on a summer's afternoon. The bulging flanks of row on receding row and tier above tier of bottles glinted with innumerable rubies, and among the rubies moved the dim red spectres of men and women with purple eyes and all the symptoms of lupus.

Such an evening I ran away as soon as I could, but not before I had seen Marianne’s sweet face as white as death. That was the last, last look I ever had of her—the last manner in which she appeared to me. It was a horrid sight? Among many horrid sights from that evening, it was the most horrid of all! Yet when I thought of her to-day as really dying—of malaria, and yellow fever, and lupus-“ “No, not lupus.” “Really? Well, that’s good.

Since the belief by humans that men “change” into werewolves is false, Fane is able to do what the Canis Lupus call phasing. The wolf and the man are one, there is no changing from one to the other, a change would mean that once a man is in wolf form he is no longer a man but fully wolf and when in human form he is fully human. This is not the case, a Canis Lupus is always aware of his wolf as is the wolf always aware of the man, they exist together usually harmoniously.

People with certain rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (commonly called lupus), or ankylosing spondylitis (spinal arthritis) may be more likely to have fibromyalgia, too. Several studies indicate that women

Take the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), a single species that comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and temperaments. Every single one, purebred or mutt, descends from a single ancestral species—most likely the Eurasian gray wolf—that humans began to select about ten thousand years ago.

And so, what the patient knows to be true—this matters. What I know to be true matters. What anyone with chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, Lyme, lupus, MS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s—what they know, their experience, it matters, and the experts should be listening to them.

Just as the triggers for depression are correct and present every day, so are triggers for joy.

Our cells are highly flexible and can recover from many great insults if we avoid things that hurt them and give them what they need to heal.

El hombre es el primer animal que ha creado su propio medio. Pero -irónicamente- es el primer animal que de esa manera se está destruyendo a sí mismo.

Joan: The driver has a lazy eye, the other two met in basketball camp and one has canine lupus. You see how it feels? Just tell me how you know. Elementary Season 1 Snow Angels

Our diet is the major culprit to what causes inflammation in our bodies and disease. Believe it or not, genetics only account for roughly three to 5 percent of inflammation and disease.

Don’t you see, Mhairie, if we don’t keep telling the stories, we shall forget them. And if we forget them, our marrow will leak away, our clan marrow will vanish. Now was not the time to forget. Now was the time to remember. Memory, Dearlea thought, is the life-pumping artery, the blood in that artery. Memory is the sinew, the muscle that stretches back to the Beyond and before the Beyond. Have we not come full circle? she wondered. Now is not the time to forget. She felt a quiet despair, for there was song deep within her desperate to get out. Lupus, she would not die with the song inside her! Her mother, who rode next to her on another narwhale’s back with Abban, turned toward her and howled, “Sing, Dearlea! Sing! You are a skreeleen. The first in this new world.” So Dearlea threw back her head and sang. And out of that dark place we fled That broken land so scarred and dead Our hopes our dreams forever gone. Then did we follow this wolf so bold To this place that did unfold As if lost in mists of time It was the Distant Blue A new world sublime. On a bridge of ice we walked and walked We now give thanks to Lupus, to Glaux, To Ursus and gods not known, And to whales who carried us The last way To here in our new home. The other creatures began to join in. The wolves howled, and from Toby’s and Burney’s deep chests came sonorous roars that stirred Faolan’s heart. Dearlea was so right to sing, to remind them of what they had left behind.

Gulls churr; ducks cluck. Bulls plus bucks run thru buckrush; thus dun burrs clutch fur tufts. Ursus cubs plus Lupus pups hunt skunks. Curs skulk (such mutts lurk: ruff ruff). Gnus munch kudzu. Lush shrubs bud; thus church nuns pluck uncut mums. Bugs hum - buzz, buzz - dull susurrus gusts murmur hushful, humdrum murmurs; hush, hush. Dusk suns blush. Surf lulls us. Such scuds hurl up cumulus suds (Sturm und Druck) - furls unfurl: rush, rush; curls uncurl: gush, gush. Such tumult upturns unsunk hulls; thus gulfs crush us, - gulp! - dunk us; burst lungs succumb.

A friend visited and did not like to see the tears in my eyes, the tiredness. I am a river of sadness,’ I sighed. ‘Well you can’t be,’ he said, sternly. ‘There’s no such thing. Rivers move and change and take things away with them and pick things up, like flowers and happiness. Write me a happy poem!

Weil nun aber unser Zustand vielmehr etwas ist, das besser nicht wäre; so trägt Alles, was uns umgiebt, die Spur hievon – gleich wie in der Hölle Alles nach Schwefel riecht, – indem Jegliches stets unvollkommen und trüglich, jedes Angenehme mit Unangenehmem versetzt, jeder Genuß immer nur ein halber ist, jedes Vergnügen seine eigene Störung, jede Erleichterung neue Beschwerde herbeiführt, jedes Hülfsmittel unserer täglichen und stündlichen Noch uns alle Augenblicke im Stich läßt und seinen Dienst versagt, die Stufe, auf welche wir treten, so oft unter uns bricht, ja, Unfälle, große und kleine, das Element unsers Lebens sind, und wir, mit Einem Wort, dem Phineus gleichen, dem die Harpyen alle Speisen besudelten und ungenießbar machten. Alles was wir anfassen, widersetzt sich, weil es seinen eigenen Willen hat, der überwunden werden muß. Zwei Mittel werden dagegen versucht: erstlich die eulabeia, d.i. Klugheit, Vorsicht, Schlauheit: sie lernt nicht aus und reicht nicht aus und wird zu Schanden, Zweitens, der Stoische Gleichmuth, welcher jeden Unfall entwaffnen will, durch Gefaßtseyn auf alle und Verschmähen von Allem: praktisch wird er zur kynischen Entsagung, die lieber, ein für alle Mal, alle Hülfsmittel und Erleichterungen von sich wirft: sie macht uns zu Hunden: wie den Diogenes in der Tonne. Die Wahrheit ist: wir sollen elend seyn, und sind's. Dabei ist die Hauptquelle der ernstlichsten Uebel, die den Menschen treffen, der Mensch selbst: homo homini lupus. Wer dies Letztere recht ins Auge faßt, erblickt die Welt als eine Hölle, welche die des Dante dadurch übertrifft, daß Einer der Teufel des Andern seyn muß; wozu denn freilich Einer vor dem Andern geeignet ist, vor Allen wohl ein Erzteufel, in Gestalt eines Eroberers auftretend, der einige Hundert Tausend Menschen einander gegenüberstellt und ihnen zuruft: "Leiden und Sterben ist euere Bestimmung: jetzt schießt mit Flinten und Kanonen auf einander los!" und sie thun es.

But the bull-dog ant of Australia affords us the most extraordinary example of this kind; for if it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head seizes the tail with its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head; the battle may last for half an hour, until they die or are dragged away by the other ants. This contest takes place every time the experiment is tried . . . . Yunghahn relates that he saw in Java a plain, as far as the eye could reach, entirely covered with skeletons, and took it for a battle-field; they were, however, merely the skeletons of large turtles, . . . which come this way out of the sea to lay their eggs, and are then attacked by wild dogs who with their united strength lay them on their backs, strip off the small shell from the stomach, and devour them alive. But often then a tiger pounces upon the dogs . . . . For this these turtles are born . . . .

URSKADAMUS TINE SMYORFIN MASACH!” Edme wasn’t sure what to believe now — her ears or her eye? There was only one wolf who swore in both the language of bears and that of Old Wolf. “Faolan?” “Who else, for the love of Lupus? One would think you saw a ghost.” “But with all that frost — you look like a lochin.” Faolan gave a dismissive bark. “You should see yourself,” Edme persisted. “You’ve got icicles hanging from your chin fur. Your belly fur looks as if it’s …” “I know! I know! I can feel it!” he replied crankily. “You look absolutely ancient. I mean older than the Sark.” “Thanks a lot,” Faolan huffed. “Well, what did you find?” “No meat.” His voice dwindled.

Therapeutic fasting accelerates the healing process and allows the body to recover from serious disease in a dramatically short period of time. In my practice I have seen fasting eliminate lupus and arthritis, remove chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, heal the digestive tract in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and quickly eliminate cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and angina. In these cases the recoveries were permanent: fasting enabled longtime disease sufferers to unchain themselves from their multiple toxic drugs and even eliminate the need for surgery, which was recommended to some of them as their only solution.

Nikdy si nejsme jisti, že se nějaká nová idea nezmocní buď nás samých, anebo našeho souseda. Víme právě tak z nové historie jako ze staré, že takové ideje bývají často tak zvláštní, ba tak podivné, že nad tím zůstává rozum stát. Fascinace, která je téměř vždy s takovou ideou spojena, vytváří fanatickou posedlost, která způsobuje, že všichni disidenti, to jest lidé, kteří smýšlejí jinak – zcela lhostejné, jak dobrý úmysl mají nebo jak jsou rozumní – jsou upalováni zaživa, stínáni nebo masově sprovozeni ze světa modernějším kulometem. Nemůžeme se ani utěšovat myšlenkou, že něco takového patří dávné minulosti. Bohužel se zdá, že k přítomnosti nejen náleží, ale že je lze v obzvláštní míře očekávat ještě od budoucnosti. “Homo homini lupus” (Člověk člověku vlkem) – to je smutný, ale věčně platný výrok. Člověk má opravdu dostatečný důvod pro to, aby se bál neosobních sil, které sídlí v nevědomí. Tkvíme v blažené nevědomosti o těchto silách, protože se nikdy nebo alespoň skoro nikdy neprojevují v našem osobním jednání a za obvyklých okolností. Když se však na druhé straně lidé shluknou a vytvoří dav, uvolní se dynamismy kolektivního člověka – bestií nebo démonů, kteří v každém jednotlivci dřímají, dokud se nestane součástí masy. Člověk uprostřed masy klesá nevědomě na nižší mravní i intelektuální úroveň; na úroveň, která je stále pod prahem nevědomí připravena prorazit, jakmile je podpořena a vylákána vytvořením masy.

Let us not make a procrustean bed of trans issues and force deities of the past onto it, let us instead awaken trans and other gender-variant deities from their own beds! There is no possibility of blasphemy against existing powers and their human followers if the deities in question are our own, and we never have to "take them back," because they have always been ours to begin with!

This universal conflict is to be seen most clearly in the animal kingdom. Animals have the vegetable kingdom for their nourishment, and within the animal kingdom again every animal is the prey and food of some other. This means that the matter in which an animal’s Idea manifests itself must stand aside for the manifestation of another Idea, since every animal can maintain its own existence only by the incessant elimination of another’s. Thus the will-to-live generally feasts on itself, and is in different forms its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as manufactured for its own use. Yet, as will be seen in the fourth book, this same human race reveals in itself with terrible clearness that conflict, that variance of the will with itself, and we get homo homini lupus.71 However, we shall again recognize the same contest, the same subjugation, just as well at the low grades of the will’s objectivity. Many insects (especially the ichneumon flies) lay their eggs on the skin, and even in the body, of the larvae of other insects, whose slow destruction is the first task of the newly hatched brood. The young hydra, growing out of the old one as a branch, and later separating itself therefrom, fights while it is still firmly attached to the old one for the prey that offers itself, so that the one tears it out of the mouth of the other. But the most glaring example of this kind is afforded by the bulldog-ant of Australia, for when it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head attacks the tail with its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head. The contest usually lasts for half an hour, until they die or are dragged away by other ants. This takes place every time.

This is usually accomplished by taking X-rays of the affected joints and analyzing blood for an ANA and rheumatoid factor (RF). Unfortunately, Lyme disease can cause false positive ANAs and rheumatoid factors due to a patient’s overstimulated immune system. This can lead to a mistaken diagnosis of lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. This is why drawing a CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) is so important. It is a specific marker for rheumatoid arthritis and will help determine whether the patient has true rheumatoid arthritis or not. Patients with a positive ANA or RF often are prescribed immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids or immunomodulatory drugs, like Enbrel or Arava. These treatments can have dire consequences for the Lyme disease patient who is co-infected, since they are already immune-suppressed, and steroids can cause their underlying infections and subsequent manifestations

¿En qué pensaba yo mayormente, cuando me preparé esas pildoritas? Un suicidio por un infortunio amoroso nunca he sido capaz de concebirlo. Tal vez en la pobreza. La pobreza es temible. De todas las llamadas calamidades externas, la pobreza es la que se mete más adentro. Pero no parece que me ronde de muy cerca, yo mismo me cuento entre los bien situados, y la sociología me contaría entre los ricos. En lo que más pensaba entonces era en la enfermedad. una enfermedad larga, incurable, repugnante. Yo que he visto tantas cosas... Cáncer, lupus facial, ceguera, parálisis... Cuántos desgraciados habré visto a los que sin el menor remordimiento habría administrado una de esas píldoras de no ser porque, en mí como en otras personas decentes, el interés propio y el respeto a la ley han hablado más fuerte que la compasión. Y en cambio, cuánto material humano inútil y desesperadamente estropeado habré contribuido a conservar ejerciendo mi oficio sin ruborizarme siquiera de cobrar por mis servicios

Homologous recombination occurs naturally to create genetic diversity in our offspring and is also conveniently harnessed by scientists to introduce experimental DNA into cells or animals. We do not yet know if this occurs with the contaminating human DNA found in some of our vaccines, and if so, to what extent. Imagine the potential consequences of human DNA from a vaccine, a vaccine that is given to children at an average age of 15 months, being incorporated into a child’s developing brain. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to know that this potential has to be studied. In addition to the potential for homologous recombination, DNA is known to be a powerful immune stimulant. Diseases like graft versus host, juvenile (type I) diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus and some forms of arthritis are what are called auto-immune diseases. These are diseases driven by immune attack from our own immune system on our own organs, a system normally responsible to attack invading bacteria and pathogens. Targeted self-destruction, if you will.

In March, at HHS’s request, several large pharmaceutical companies—Novartis, Bayer, Sanofi, and others—donated their inventory, a total of 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine and 2 million of chloroquine, to the Strategic National Stockpile, managed by BARDA, an agency under the DHHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.56 BARDA’s Director, Dr. Rick Bright, later claimed the chloroquine drugs were deadly, and he needed to protect the American public from them.57 Bright colluded with FDA to restrict use of the donated pills to hospitalized patients. FDA publicized the authorization using language that led most physicians to believe that prescribing the drug for any purpose was off-limits. But at the beginning of June, based on clinical trials that intentionally gave unreasonably high doses to hospitalized patients and failed to start the drug until too late, FDA took the unprecedented step of revoking HCQ’s emergency authorization,58 rendering that enormous stockpile of valuable pills off limits to Americans while conveniently indemnifying the pharmaceutical companies for their inventory losses by allowing them a tax break for the donations. After widespread use of the drug for 65 years, without warning, FDA somehow felt the need to send out an alert on June 15, 2020 that HCQ is dangerous, and that it required a level of monitoring only available at hospitals.59 In a bit of twisted logic, Federal officials continued to encourage doctors to use the suddenly-dangerous drug without restriction for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme and malaria. Just not for COVID. With the encouragement of Dr. Fauci and other HHS officials, many states simultaneously imposed restrictions on HCQ’s use.

A number of clinical trials have shown benefits (though sometimes modest) of dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and migraine headaches. In fact, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, supplementation with fish oil led to substantial improvements in joint swelling, pain, and morning stiffness and enabled them to reduce their use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Supplementation is beneficial because it helps correct the balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid intake. The Paleo Approach goes one very important step further because it focuses not only on increasing omega-3 fatty acids (from whole-food sources such as fish, shellfish, and pasture-raised meats) but also on decreasing omega-6 fatty acids (by avoiding processed vegetable oils, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds). Achieving the proper ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids will contribute substantially to the management of autoimmune disease and to overall health.

Homo homini lupus é uma das tristes certezas da vida. A tese, com efeito, pode ser alargada, e aplicada não só ao egoísmo nacional como também ao egoísmo dos indivíduos. (...)Só a paz é infecunda, só a concórdia é improfícua, só o humanitarismo é anti-humanitário. E assim morre, ante a análise sociológica, o último dos falsos princípios da Democracia moderna.

In Super Genes, Chopra and Tanzi acquaint us with new research that shows that “Some microbiomes may work better at nutrient extraction than others, with obese people extracting too much and skinny people extracting too little.” They also tell us that the microbiome reaches beyond digestion into every part of the body, and “It’s now known that gut bacteria produce neuroactive compounds that interact with brain cells and which can even control the expression of our own genes through epigenetics. When the natural balance of the microbiome becomes disrupted and unbalanced, we call it dysbiosis, yet only now is it being discovered that far from being just a digestive problem, dysbiosis is systemic in the damage it causes. The range of disorders linked to it is growing but is already startling in its numbers: links have been found to asthma, eczema, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, obesity, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, and malnutrition. Avenues for new treatments are leading down the same road—to the microbiome.

Being alive is my destiny. Dying just a destination.

The severe exacerbation of symptoms following exercise, as seen in CFS patients, is not present in other disorders where fatigue is a predominant symptom such as depression, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or multiple sclerosis. 10,11

The gluten and other proteins in today’s hybrid wheat seem to contribute to gut inflammation and leakiness, both of which can lead to body-wide inflammation, and even possibly to autoimmune conditions such as hypothyroidism and lupus.

I suppose you’ve never seen a case of lupus erythematosus before?

Autoimmune illnesses, which include well-known ailments like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, hypothyroidism, and type 1 diabetes, occur when our immune system mistakenly mounts an attack against our own bodily tissues.

Lui rispose con un aforisma, sufficientemente per essere criptico: "L'uomo è gioia per l'uomo". Lei pensò cupamente: "L'uomo è lupo per l'uomo".

While I was grateful for the progress made and the blessings I had received, there was no gratitude toward this enemy. This was war. I didn't want this to define me, to color how I saw the world, but it was not easy. It literally cloaked me like Peter Pan's wayward shadow. I felt it's presence with every step, with the electrical currents that stabbed occasionally through my feet, with ripping-like pain in my tendons, with every glass that I dropped, with every quiet moment that now rang in my ears. On days when the walls closed in, I was aware. Even in sleep, it frequently tormented me. My dreams were filled with situations in which I couldn't walk, I couldn't function. Unconscious reminders that reinforced loss and an unknown future thereby undoing the day's progress and gratitude work. I was different. And so was my world.

Humans have eaten eggs for thousands of years. They were once an amazing survival food for us to eat in areas of the planet where there were no other food options at certain times of year. That changed with the turn of the 20th century, though—when the autoimmune, viral, bacterial, and cancer epidemics began. The average person eats over 350 eggs a year. That includes whole eggs and also all the foods with hidden egg ingredients. If you’re struggling with any illness, such as Lyme disease, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, or fibromyalgia, avoiding eggs can give your body the support it needs to get better. The biggest issue with eggs is that they’re a prime food for cancer and other cysts, fibroids, tumors, and nodules. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), breast cancer, or other cysts and tumors should avoid eggs altogether. Also, if you’re trying to prevent cancer, fight an existing cancer, or avoid a cancer relapse, steer clear. Removing eggs from your diet completely will give you a powerful fighting chance to reverse disease and heal.

I love you, Aunt Morgan. I’ll admit I had a good cry when I found out about your lupus diagnosis. But Wyatt was there for me and helped me see it wasn’t the end of your life. And I’ll be there every step of the way in the capacity as your niece who happens to be a medical professional. I intend to watch over the whole family,

Particular variants in our pathogen-recognition genes, which protected us from ancient epidemics, correlate with a range of autoimmune disorders, from diabetes and multiple sclerosis to lupus.27

Many people confuse “chronic fatigue” (which is a symptom of many chronic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or lupus) or “general tiredness” (which is lifestyle-related), with the specific illness “chronic fatigue syndrome” (ME/CFS). To clarify the differences, here are some of the major symptoms of ME/CFS: - unexplained physical and mental fatigue for an extended period of time - post-exertional malaise (meaning an inappropriate loss of physical and mental stamina and a worsening of symptoms after any effort) - sleep dysfunction - pain - neurological/cognitive manifestations - autonomic manifestations, such as orthostatic intolerance - neuroendocrine symptoms, such as subnormal body temperature - immune system changes, such as recurrent flu-like symptoms.

Attaccare briga con il capo del Praetor Lupus…’’ Magnus scosse la testa. ‘‘Sai bene cosa ti farebbe il suo branco, se solo avesse un minimo pretesto. Cos’è, vuoi morire?’’ ‘‘No’’ rispose Will, sorprendendo un po’ perfino se stesso. ‘‘Non so proprio perchè io ti abbia aiutato.’’ ‘‘Ti piacciono i casi disperati.’’ Magnus fece due grandi passi attraverso la stanza e prese il viso di Will tra le lunghe dita, costringendolo a sollevare il mento. ‘‘Non sei Sydney Carton. A cosa ti servirà morire per James Carstairs, visto che sta morendo comunque?’’ ‘‘Perchè se lo salvo, ne vale la pena…’’ ‘‘Dio!’’ Gli occhi di Magnus si socchiusero. ‘‘Di cosa potrà mai valere la pena?’’ ‘‘Di aver perso tutto!’’ gridò Will. ‘‘Tessa!’’ Magnus lasci ricadere la mano dal viso nel Nephilim. Indietreggiò di parecchi passi, quindi inspirò ed espirò adagio, che se stesse contando mentalmente fino a dieci. ‘‘Mi dispiace, per quello che ha detto Woolsey’’ disse infine. ‘‘Se Jem muore, non potrò stare con Tessa’’ affermò Will. ‘‘Sarebbe come se avessi aspettato che morisse, o se mi rallegrassi della sua morte. E non voglio essere quel tipo di persona. Non voglio approfittare della sua morte. Perciò deve vivere.’’ Abbassò il braccio con la manica insanguinata. ‘‘È l’unico modo perchè tutto ciò possa significare qualcosa. Altrimenti è soltanto… ‘‘Sofferenza e dolore assurdi, inutili? Non credo che sarebbe d’aiuto se ti dicessi che così va la vita. I buoni soffrono, i cattivi prosperano, e tutto ciò che è mortale passa.’’ ‘‘Voglio più di questo.’’ dichiarò Will. ‘‘Tu hai fatto sì che volessi più di questo. Mi hai mostrato che ero maledetto solo perchè avevo scelto di credermi tale. Mi hai detto che c’era una possibilità, un senso. E adesso vorresti girare le spalle a ciò che hai creato.’’ Magnus rise brevemente. ‘‘Sei incorreggibile.’’ ‘‘Questa l’ho già sentita.’’ Will si allontanò dal divano. ‘‘Mi aiuterai, allora?’’ ‘‘Ti aiuterò

Lupus Yonderboy,

about the situation so that he’d have the last word. “But you have to take your phone.” Do you see what I mean? I just nodded since it wasn’t a ridiculous demand. He walked around the bed to his bedside drawer and pulled my phone out. He handed it to me, his fingers touching mine and lingering a little too long. His soft, warm skin sent shivers down my spine.

I met a girl with childhood arthritis, someone with celiac disease, and someone with lupus. I never told any of these people that I was jealous. I didn't really comprehend it myself. I just wanted to feel special, unique, and have problems that other people would never understand.

Al margen de esta memoria y de esta conexión entre el amor recibido y dado ya nada tiene sentido y todo se vuelve frágil, la vida ya no es misterio que revela al Eterno, sino enigma insensato y desmemoriado: más aún, lo llegamos a ser nosotros mismos y las relaciones que construimos, que, si no son misericordiosas, no tienen consistencia alguna, ni raíces ni futuro. Sin misericordia no existe amistad, pareja, familia, ternura, amor, sueños, futuro, pasión, fidelidad... Sin la misericordia explota el absurdo del egoísmo, de la autorreferencialidad, de la esclerocardia, del homo homini lupus, del mundo inhospitalario y sin piedad, de la conflictividad exasperada, de la rigidez que condena, del juicio inflexible que pone la ley por delante y por encima de la persona, de la arrogancia que no es capaz de comprender y compadecer, de la violencia psicológica de quien no perdona; de la justicia que, tras la coartada de la igualdad de todos frente a la ley, confunde al pecador con el pecado; de la rudeza mental que rechaza al diferente. Sin la misericordia, la historia del hombre queda incompleta como un drama que continúa en el tiempo, en busca de un equilibrio perdido, sin el cual es historia maldita. La memoria herida sigue aún dividida entre venganza, resentimiento, revancha, amnesia, reparación, fuga, desesperación... Y ciertos lugares quedan como emblemas de un mal que parecía imposible, pero que ha tenido lugar y que podrá volver a suceder[21].

Tell me, Mr Winge, does the expression homo homini lupus est mean anything to you?’ ‘Plautus wrote it during the Punic Wars: Like a wolf is man to other men.

People are always surprised and disturbed by Emily Dickinson's 'reclusive' lifestyle and come up with all sorts of theories to explain her staying in her room, doing her gardening at night, and vanishing upstairs whenever visitors came to call: depression, a skin condition that wouldn't let her out in the sun, lupus, a love affair that ended badly and that she never got over, agoraphobia, epilepsy, etc. I, however, find her behavior completely understandable. She lived in Amherst, Massachusetts, for God's sake.

Lupus is one of the cruelest, most mysterious diseases—an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease that ravages different parts of the body… It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with, a challenge to treat, and can be fatal. —Lupus Foundation of America

You said...we have a couple of new pack members?" Paul asked. Everyone but Allan laughed. Allan folded his arms. "This has to be a record for the fast growing lupus garou pack in the West. One little pack of six has increased to twenty-four.

When it comes to Canis Lupus. Unmated males can be volatile and unpredictable. Giving them boundaries helps them keep their wolf in check. The other reason is a mated female is not to be touched by another male unless her mate says it is okay; that is just another way to prevent fights. I know it doesn’t make sense to you and seems archaic, but there is an animal that lives inside us and that animal has to be kept under control. The human part of me is what kept me from tearing Boian to shreds. The wolf would not have shown mercy, which is what sets us apart from full-blood wolves,” he answered.

After Ottawa Andy returned to Germany to be with his mother, who was suffering from Lupus. After her death she left him her Vaduz property where he stayed for a number of years before settling in Quebec, Canada. David

Focus on the things that you can still do Not the things that you no longer can Don't let Lupus define you You are more than your illness

These abilities, this wonderful gift of nature, gives us the opportunity to control any living thing on Earth, Alex. The power that has no equals in the whole world. Ability to subdue and suppress,” his voice now sounded louder and different somehow, “ to fully own someone else’s mind, will, and desire.

It can be fatal, so it is treated with steroids, which can themselves have very significant side effects. Steroids calm down the allergic reaction to the body’s tissues, which helps the lupus, but also calms down the body’s reaction to real foreign substances such as bacteria, and also thins the skin and bones.

asking your doctor what antibodies were positive during the workup of your lupus and look them up under the “Immunological Tests” section at the end of this chapter. This could give you some additional clues as to what kinds of problems you may or may not be at increased risk for with your SLE.

Discoid Lupus Erythematosus The plaques on this patient's face resemble the annular atrophic plaque variant of discoid lupus erythematosus. The plaques associated with this variant of discoid lupus have white sclerotic centers and a red rim. In patients with classic discoid lupus, the plaques are typically seen on the face and neck (and below the neck in patients with generalized discoid lupus) and are initially well-demarcated, scaly plaques that progress to atrophic white plaques with a hyperpigmented border. A recent report detailed a case of discoid lupus with plaques resembling malignant atrophic papulosis. 7 Histopathological evaluation of the plaques revealed features of both discoid lupus and malignant atrophic papulosis, but the patient responded to treatment for discoid lupus erythematosus.
