STILL (ALMOST) STANDING
byVanderleunonJanuary 6, 2023
RESCUED from the Court of the Covid Kings by three large and amazingly strong Christian Soldiers. A very near thing. Legs, back, and eye still very weak. Made it home where I will heal and grow stronger. Very hard at present but will get better.
God bless all of you. More later this is still difficult.
Oh, thank God you’re still here. Rest and be well, kind sir.
jdJanuary 6, 2023, 8:09 AM
A wondrous gift on the feast of the Epiphany. I will keep up
the prayers for strength. God bless, Gerard. Take many naps.
Don’t worry about us. We can wait.
GinnyJanuary 6, 2023, 8:13 AM
Thank heavens! Many prayers for your continued healing. Rest up well, dear Gerard.
AggieJanuary 6, 2023, 8:14 AM
May God shower you wiht his blessings, I’m sure that you are glad to be out of Bedlam and back in the bosom of your home place! Get Well Soon.

Upright is upright.
Very good to hear from you brotherman.
Cheers and let me know how to help.

I am so relieved for you and Olive that you’re back home. -Karen-

Great to hear the news Gerard.
I got hit with a bout of it mid December.
Progress might be slow, but you WILL recover.
Crazy as it sounds, chicken soup.
TrangBang68January 6, 2023, 8:20 PM
Makes me hate the filthy midget Fauci a little more for funding the creation of the Chinese bio-weapon
I’m proud of you and happy you’re home, G. Thanks for teasing the story – I’d be happy with even the briefest of updates and I want you to rest.
AnonymousJanuary 6, 2023, 9:06 AM
You are missed Gerard! Prayers and good wishes headed your way…
Connie VictorJanuary 6, 2023, 9:18 AM
So glad to hear you made it out okay. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the update and feel better soon, Gerard. Glad you got out of whatever ‘rehab’ institution you were stuck in temporarily.
Auntie AnalogueJanuary 6, 2023, 12:26 PM
Easy does it now. One step at a time. Please do not push it on my account. (!)
Search “Home Assistance for Older Adults” or similar.
I did not get into paid services (for lack of time right now), but I would be glad to contribute to any agency that would show up daily (or almost) to help him function for a few weeks. (?)
Meals on Wheels?
If this were something he wanted, it seems it could be arranged. Facts about cost (if any) etc.
Unfortunately, it is Friday afternoon, so arrangements would probably have to wait until Mon.
ghostsniperJanuary 8, 2023, 6:18 PM

Very happy to hear you’re back home. Praying for your speedy recovery.
Much love.

That you escaped rehab so quickly I shall take as a good sign, oh hep cat of many lives…
NoriJanuary 6, 2023, 2:53 PM
Really is no place like home;welcome back. The look on Olive’s face says she greeted you with purrs or Where Have You Been? Can never be sure with cats.
Rest is best,lots of it. Chicken bone broth is great,nutritious and satisfying when you’re just too tired to chew.
Prayers will continue,even after health improves. This bug-ass crazy world needs you in it.
ThisIsNotNutellaJanuary 6, 2023, 3:36 PM
Good you’ve escaped from the charnel house and are now safe at home with some good-hearted private citizens on your case to boot. Lots of rest and good nutrition called for, but you definitely want to be trying to get up and about as much as you can. Loss of mobility can take you out insidiously and more surely than a wet market load of covid bugs and the local chapter of Antifa partying on Walpurgisnacht.
Hang in there and maintain some of the rage about what you’ve been through (grace is all very well, but…). We want to know what happened when you’re more OK and your report will certainly save others from straying too close to the edge of the pit.
Delighted to hear you are safely home. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the story.
LPJanuary 6, 2023, 4:18 PM
Prayers and good wishes, so glad that your ok!

KerryJanuary 6, 2023, 6:26 PM
You’ll make it through, just be patient with and good to yourself. If somehow you can get direct sunlight on yourself for 10-15 minutes a day, you’ll be doing yourself a big favor. Supplements and good, wholesome food, even if it’s in small servings, will help, too. D3, zinc picolinate, quercetin and C. I have every confidence in your recovery.
Bill in TennesseeJanuary 6, 2023, 6:54 PM
Thank the Lord you’re back. Take care of yourself, Gerard, the world needs you.

Blessings to you Gerard. I don’t comment much but have been reading you for what-nearly 20 years now? You are dear to me and have frequently redeemed this internet for me. Rest up, you remain in my prayers.

Gerard, Home is best. Surrounded by Olive and books.
Take it easy, get strong and feel better every day.
You are in my prayers.

Rest, sir, and relax. This is the best way. Apparently, age greatly reduces the ability of the body to recuperate and regenerate. Who would have thunk it?
Prayers for your recovery and better health.
GoosewingsJanuary 7, 2023, 6:35 AM
Wishing you a complete recovery, Gerard, and a much better 2023. One step at a time at your own pace, one day at a time, and repeat. You are missed and much appreciated by many.

Worst cough I’d ever had… back in January 2020… three months before planet Earth was ordered to shut down. I thought my lungs were going to break up be ejected in one final fit. That was probably the coof. I never got tested. Sure is good news to hear you’re back under the safety of your own roof, Gerard. Here’s a news item proving once again that ol’ karma is truly a bitch. The Israelis hate the Palestinians so much they deprived them of the sacred vaxx… hoping they’d all die. Israel is possibly the most vaxxed population in the world. The cosmic order of everything has turned a 180 for these people. https://voxday.net/
Pureblood here. Had it twice (no test; antibodies present six months later) in ’22 – one light, one heavier. Missed even the splitting headache many report; credit the pony paste [ https://www.barnhardt.biz/ivermectin/ ] + Vit C/zinc/vit D/quercetin Zelenko protocol [https://vladimirzelenkomd.com/treatment-protocol/].
Fatigue was the big picture symptom and lingering after-effect. Still need a nap some days when regular sleep was jangled. Sleep is medicine; take it in large doses.
Sleep and rest. Let others help you. Chicken soup is never a bad idea.
Do not hesitate to ask. A whole bunch of good folks love you and will help.
All sound advice, CA, especially the sleep and rest admonition, as those are prime in healing one’s body.
StopShoutingJanuary 7, 2023, 6:42 PM
Gerard:
Please max out daily doses of NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) and supplemental Vitamin D, in addition to the FLCCC protocols that CA recommends. My only proviso is do not take Vitamin C + Zinc together – space them apart about 2 hrs, minimum. Always take Zinc with Quercetin and food if possible.
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, considered the “master oxidant”. Oral formulations of glutathione are usually only about 30% bioactive, you get bigger bang for the buck by taking NAC instead, since cysteine is a rate limiting amino acid of glutathione to allow your body to manufacture what it needs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33177829/
Continued prayers for your healing and complete recovery.

Dear Mr. VanderLeun, please rest and God bless your recovery. The possible loss of your voice, describing your vision of the world I grew up in (as well as Clownworld today) was just too much to contemplate…. Please allow those willing to help you heal up. Yes on that Real Chicken Soup.
Daniel K DayJanuary 7, 2023, 2:34 PM
I’m very glad to see you back at home, Gerard. I’ll continue praying for your complete recovery.

Dammit. I had no idea until just now. We’ve been in the States and came back to Mexico, caught COVID and although we feel strong now, the damn sinuses don’t want to dry out. Certainly praying for you, Gerard.
Glad you’re back home. It’s been a rough few years for you. Best wishes for your continued recovery.
CallmelennieJanuary 8, 2023, 5:15 AM
Even in some of your more dire moments, you still maintain your sense of humor. Anyone who has ever owned a cat know what entitled little @ssh*les they can be. Look at the black cat trying to take ownership of Gerards walker. I see this every morning when I wake up and find Blake, my own black cat claiming my comfy chair and every morning I have to fight him for it. And every once in a while, I take a pic of it and send it to my kids with the text, “Blake’s being an @ssh*le again!!”
If it comes down to needing a walker for the duration … That was my mother’s “fate” for 12 years. Yet she soldiered on with an almost uncanny cheerfulness all the way to the end in 2015, at age 93
JackJanuary 8, 2023, 7:05 AM
We are all so thankful you have turned a corner or two toward recovery. Keep it up, there is no rush to get back here and we will all be waiting for you. Take your meds, take no chances.
theduchessofkittyJanuary 8, 2023, 10:08 AM
So happy you’re now home! Your kitty must be happy, too!
Take it easy. You will need delivery of food and stuff for a while. Have you arranged for that yet? Do you need to set up a grocery “wish list” on Amazon or something online we can use to keep you going while you recover? Through the local grocery store? Do they have an online delivery system?
Get some vitamins. 1000 mg/day of Vitamin C is great, along with zinc, d3 (5000 IU and above) and, sometimes, quercetin. I caught the virus twice last year: my (forcibly vaxxed) hubby brought it home to my girls and me last January. He was having a hard time with it. I only had the fever and chills, which I relieved with ibuprofen. Since I take supplements every day and have done so for many years, my symptoms were milder than hubby’s. The girls recovered quickly and returned to school in five days. We recovered almost at the same day.
Then, last November, it happened again. Hubby was on business trip in the SF area. His entire company had a week long meeting there. Everyone there had to be vaxxed to keep working. Well, no one knew it, but the virus caught several trips back home, including to mine. He was miserable. I barely got a sniffle. All I knew was I needed a little NyQuil. That’s all. I still lived my life and no one else got it.
That damned vaccine has done NOTHING for my husband.
I have been taking such supplements for years. My last illness was a cold, and that was way back in the early 2000s. And I am a pureblood. I just cannot imagine getting sick anymore. Hit by a bus while on my bicycle, sure.

Gerard,
Everyone is checking your site daily for your health status and hoping again for a good dose of wit from you. We are ready for another Strange Daze and the details of your recent adventure, but not until you are up to it. Prayers from Kansas!
Outstanding news.
Also pure blood the entire family locally is, sorry to sound like this but I read daily the nightmare called covid shots. I’m firmly convinced your malady was directly related to the shot/ shots.
You need support, I’m happy to drive down assist as needed.
That’s what it’s going to take. Hot barrels shoved right up in peoples faces. They are so smug, they think that will never happen. I want to be on the front line, kicking doors in, planting hobnails in asses, breaking arms backwards, slamming faces on the floor. Reclaiming my birthright, along with 100,000 other like minded raging patriots.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Take it easy. You will need delivery of food and stuff for a while. Have you arranged for that yet? Do you need to set up a grocery “wish list” on Amazon or something online we can use to keep you going while you recover? Through the local grocery store? Do they have an online delivery system?
Get some vitamins. 1000 mg/day of Vitamin C is great, along with zinc, d3 (5000 IU and above) and, sometimes, quercetin. I caught the virus twice last year: my (forcibly vaxxed) hubby brought it home to my girls and me last January. He was having a hard time with it. I only had the fever and chills, which I relieved with ibuprofen. Since I take supplements every day and have done so for many years, my symptoms were milder than hubby’s. The girls recovered quickly and returned to school in five days. We recovered almost at the same day.
Then, last November, it happened again. Hubby was on business trip in the SF area. His entire company had a week long meeting there. Everyone there had to be vaxxed to keep working. Well, no one knew it, but the virus caught several trips back home, including to mine. He was miserable. I barely got a sniffle. All I knew was I needed a little NyQuil. That’s all. I still lived my life and no one else got it.
That damned vaccine has done NOTHING for my husband.
I have been taking such supplements for years. My last illness was a cold, and that was way back in the early 2000s. And I am a pureblood. I just cannot imagine getting sick anymore. Hit by a bus while on my bicycle, sure.
Heart disease, cancer or stray asteroid, something eventually gets us. I think I will have a glass of wine. A zinfandel I prefer.
One glass of zinfandel always leads to another, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Prayers in recovery.
Welcome home. Home is the sailor home from the sea, and anyone from the hospital
On the bright side, now you’re immune, at least to this variant. God bless and a quick recovery, Gerard!
Who says there’s no good news?
Praying for your continued recovery and new resolve! God Bless.
Gerard,
Everyone is checking your site daily for your health status and hoping again for a good dose of wit from you. We are ready for another Strange Daze and the details of your recent adventure, but not until you are up to it. Prayers from Kansas!
Rest up, we got your back G.
Outstanding news.
Also pure blood the entire family locally is, sorry to sound like this but I read daily the nightmare called covid shots. I’m firmly convinced your malady was directly related to the shot/ shots.
You need support, I’m happy to drive down assist as needed.
Dirk

That’s what it’s going to take. Hot barrels shoved right up in peoples faces. They are so smug, they think that will never happen. I want to be on the front line, kicking doors in, planting hobnails in asses, breaking arms backwards, slamming faces on the floor. Reclaiming my birthright, along with 100,000 other like minded raging patriots.
Take your time Gerard. Rest up and get better.
Gerard, sending well wishes for a speedy recovery. It was so terrible to hear of your illness. Prayers for you daily. ❤️
