Ok, I have already voted. How do I make these relentless robo political calls go away!!! Elizabeth Dole is now my new best friend.

I'm getting calls from every direction. Even from the Citizen's Committee for the Support of Fallen Arches or the Citizen's for the Mandate of Green Bean Casserole for Every Holiday Committee. :o

Seriously HELP!

Surprisingly when politicians wrote the rules for the "Do Not Call" they made an exception for political calls.

Here's a website . . . Open Original Shared Link

Probably won't help this year and I was trying to wade through to see if they are able to stop the calls or if they are just in the process of putting together the same kind of list as the Federal Do Not Call list (which politicians are exempt from as I'm sure you know) . . . anyway, looks like they are trying.

Get any calls from EMABOFF (Ear Muffs And Booties for Our Four-legged Friends)?

Maybe I'm too cyncial but I'd be really hesitant to put my name and number on that website. The techniqes listed (getting your phone number removed from the voter registration list) are probably valid.

Nope, it doesn't, unfortunately. We learned that quickly this year. We just don't answer anymore.

Funny. WA is half red and half blue, but there are more people in the blue half, so, no (national) politicin' here. And I don't mind a bit.

Im in that blue half, and we're getting an average of three calls a day. Ticks me off. Your robo call won't tell me factual information, is only trying to inflame me, and wastes money in the process. Go away machine!

This is what I do....I have a phone company which has a service that allows me to "block" phone numbers....so I jot down any offending phone number from the caller ID and add it to my "blocked" calls

list. My problem is I keep getting calls for someone who has a name similar to mine and she gets calls from

bill collectors. It annoys me to tears because this too does not come under the "Do not call list" because

the callers are just happening to dial the wrong number and getting me. But they are not deliberately diailing the wrong number; they are "fishing" for any phone number for anyone with a similar last name in my area and since I have a "listed" phone number they try my number and everyone else in my area with a

similar last name. So far it's working.

I like using caller-id and just not answering if I don't recognize the source of the call.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
