What is Thermotherapy?
Thermotherapy is the therapeutic application of any substance to the body that adds
heat to the body resulting in increased tissue temperature. Thermotherapy also
increases blood flow which facilitates tissue healing by supplying protein, nutrients,
and oxygen at the site of injury. Studies have shown that a 1°C increase in tissue
temperature is associated with a 10% to 15% increase in local tissue
metabolism. The increase in tissue metabolism assists in the healing process by
removing the metabolic by-products of tissue damage and provides the environment for
tissue repair.

Why Use Far Infrared?

The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and the
removal of wastes. Far infrared rays have been found to have a blood circulation
enhancing effect in human skin, eventually inducing an increase in temperature of the
body tissues.

An investigative report by the Guardian studied
homeless relocation plans in major cities and counties
across the United States. Released in December 2017,
the 18-month investigation recorded 34,240 journeys
made by homeless people participating in a variety of
city and county relocation programs between 2011 and
2017. Relocation programs provide people who are

At least 64,000 people died of drug overdoses in 2016,

Ten Intriguing Clues the Alzheimer's Germ

Exists
1. The normal human brain is not sterile, but
contains many bacteria, particularly Proteobacteria
and Actinobacteria. Spirochetes and oral bacteria
have also been repeatedly identified, as have
viruses, including herpesvirus.
2. It is not unusual for pathogenic organisms to
invade the central nervous system. Examples of
this include:

developing in seniors may be the delayed manifestation

7. Various drugs known to ameliorate or cure infections
have been reported to have a beneficial effect on
Alzheimer's patients. Certain antibiotics which kill
bacteria seem to improve AD patients.3 Anti-herpetic
therapy administered to a large group of Taiwanese
seemed to decrease the subsequent incidence of AD,
and patients who had untreated herpes infection in
earlier life developed AD at a greater rate than non-

caused by the gravitational pull of our planet, as most
moonquakes occur when the Moon is closest to the Earth.
An event occurred in 1958 in the Moon's Alphonsus
crater, which shook the idea that all internal moonquake
activity is simply settling rocks. In November of that year,
astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the Crimean
Astrophysical Observatory startled the scientific world by
photographing the first recorded gaseous eruption on
the Moon near the crater's peak. Kozyrev attributed this
to escaping fluorescent gases. He also detected a
reddish glow characteristic of carbon compounds, which
"seemed to move and disappeared after an hour".7
Some scientists refused to accept Kozyrev's findings until
astronomers at the Lowell Observatory in 1963 saw
reddish glows on the crests of ridges in the Aristarchus
region. Days later, two separate observatories reported
coloured lights on the Moon lasting more than an hour.
Something was going on inside the volcanically dead

given to children skyrocketed beginning in the early
1990s for two reasons: 1) more vaccines were added to
the children's vaccine schedule; and 2) the vaccination
rate for all vaccines given to children rose (from 50–60
per cent of children vaccinated in the mid-1980s to over
90 per cent today). A child in the mid-1980s would have
received 1,250 micrograms of aluminium from their
vaccines by their 18-month birthday if they were fully
vaccinated. Today, that number is 4,925 micrograms, a
near-quadrupling of total aluminium. You can read more
about this in an excellent study5 published by Neil Miller.
Mystifyingly, aluminium has never experienced

aluminium serves to "wake up" the immune system,

It shouldn't be a surprise that all of this science has

Dr Patterson said it, so I don't have to be the first to
bring it up. He said a vaccination "activates the immune
system" and he also told us that "immune activation" can
cause autism. How exactly does a vaccine activate the
immune system? Answer: aluminium hydroxide, aka
"aluminium adjuvant".

aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines might be far more
toxic and dangerous than I knew was when I started
reading about the incredible work of Dr Chris Shaw at the
University of British Columbia in Canada.
In 2007, Dr Shaw published the first study looking at
injected aluminium adjuvant in his paper, "Aluminium

for the milieu of the story of Joseph.
Genesis 37 tells the story of Joseph and his funny

attempt to kill him by his envious brothers; the dumping
of Joseph into a hole/cistern in the barren desert; Joseph
being picked up by a Midianite; his brothers watching an
Ishmaelite caravan growing near; Joseph being sold to
the Ismaelites/Ishmaelites and when their caravan,

"Mizraim" (and no, Mizraim is not the Hebrew word for
Egypt as you have been fed) Joseph was again sold to

Falsified History I — Landscape Management
Author of The Biggest Estate on Earth, Bill Gammage reveals a stunning fact: for over
40,000 years the Aboriginal people of this country had been carefully shaping the land
to create a productive and beautiful landscape which the early white settlers most often
described as resembling an “English parkland”.

Steven and Evan Strong

Skulls that Rewrite History
A growing number of ancient mystery hominin skulls have been found in Victoria. In one
case the skulls were reburied, thus denying any further research. Two years ago, several
similar skulls were found in another location in Victoria, and are being examined by a
team of researchers, who believe the skulls have the potential to rewrite human history.

Stella Wheildon (with Allan Euston Williams)

Starlore, ETs and Origins
Starlore of the Origine (original) people is part of the creation lore (Bootheram). Before
patriarchal culture, the southern continent held its ancestral matristic lore since the
Alcheringa (the beginning of the Dreamtime) which was several million years and
several ice ages ago.

Lionel Lauch and Duncan Roads

Mysterious Creatures and more
For two hundred years, white people have reported encounters with yowies, giant lizards
and snakes, “little people”, mountain lions and panthers; and places where people
disappear. Now hear the original version.

Slater and the Standing Stones
Often referred to as the “Aboriginal Stonehenge”, this standing stone formation in
northeastern NSW was examined extensively by archaeologists in the early 20th century,
only to be covered up and partly demolished in attempts to deflect growing attention.
Fresh attempts to have the stone formation recognised, or at least examined properly, are
being hindered by government intervention.

Bruce Pascoe
Falsified History II — Agricultural practices
Using early explorers' journals and other evidence, Bruce Pascoe — author of Dark Emu
— shows precolonial Aboriginal people were not hunter-gatherers, but had a democracy
that ensured peace across a continent which was complete with housing, extensively
farmed, skilfully managed and deeply loved.

The End of Days is a prophecy that has been long awaited by the Origine people. It is the
end of the darkness and a "return" of the spirit of the Dreaming. This epoch-long prophecy
is being spoken of now, because it is expected to happen soon...

Challenging Out of Africa
Why we need a rewrite of history: LIDAR reveals vast ancient cities under the jungles of
Cambodia and Guatemala; artefacts, bones and art challenge "Out of Africa" pushing

sunken landmass that joined Madagascar, India and parts of northwestern Australia.

EBOOKS
ON ANCIENT MYSTERIES AND TRAVEL ARCHAEOLOGY
by KAREN MUTTON

In support of her argument for a redefined paradigm, Mutton looks into

out-of-place-and-time remains. To complete her "skeletons in the
closet" coverage, Mutton examines strange skulls, ancient pygmies
including the Flores "Hobbit", and evidence, legends and hoaxes to do
with giants. An engrossing analysis.

survival after death and holds that spiritualism is the science of life, free of

psychic gifts, and the various types of mental and physical mediumship.

Commonly reported effects include…
• Healing of “difficult” conditions (health, circumstances, relationships)
• Heightened intuition and an increasing sense of certainty
• A sudden increase in abundance - often from unexpected “windfalls”
• Expanded conscious awareness - akin to mystical insight
• A reconnection with individual life purpose
• A profound sense of love for, and harmony with, all and everything
• A greater sense of connection with powerful spiritual allies
