A comprehensive exploration of health in the post-COVID era.

With COVID and Friends in our environment, Matt and Phyllis recognize that our communities are still in as much need, if not more, than ever.
In their acclaimed class on "COVID, the 'Vaccine' and Shedding," Matthew and Phyllis addressed so many questions and concerns. Attendees eagerly drew from their nearly 100 years of professional experience as health practitioners and what they personally experienced and learned since early 2020 regarding this topic, but many questions still remained

COVID seems to be way more friendly to folks than we'd like. The virus and its effects may live with us for months on end, affecting our health and energy level, not to mention its effect on our body systems. The cardiovascular, immune, nervous, respiratory, endocrine, and reproductive systems seem to be the hardest hit. Many people are suffering from long-hauler symptoms while others are suffering from the side effects of immunization. 

Friends? Who are Covid's friends? Why all those other common viruses and allergens that have been with us for centuries and were in the spotlight pre-COVID and are now reappearing. We have the return of influenza, strep throat, seasonal allergies, and the common cold. We can have each of these separately or more than one at the same time. We can check with doctors, but that won't help us match our conditions with known remedies. What can we do to differentiate one virus or microbial infection from another? Well, we look at the symptoms, the color and consistency of the mucus, the sensations in the throat, ears, lungs, muscles, locations, etc. Then we try to match symptoms to remedies
