For this who just found my page I was diagnosed with head and neck cancer in May. When they took the CT and suspected it was cancer I refused an initial biopsy until I could begin the Makis Protocol and saturate my blood with medicines and supplements so that it could not spread easily once the biopsy or surgery was conducted. They removed the tumor, did the pathology and confirmed metastatic head and neck cancer. One doctor wanted to remove part of my tongue at the base as 30-50 lymph nodes/ One said radiation was the path and I would have to accept that the rest of my life would be spent managing the symptoms of the radiation damage and come to terms with it. The chemo doc I wouldn’t even talk to because they were rude when I called, demeaning and demanding but they kept trying to get me to schedule a chemo appointment. Instead I pulled every every study I could on my type of cancer, read how it was treated and travels through the body, then I ran it through AI to crunch the data about non traditional treatments and made a plan. I took the Makis Protocol with a number of supplements, certain mushroom extracts, fasting, cutting sugar out of my diet, exercise, sauna, dandelion root, rebuilding my gut biome, methylene blue and more. Then I went to Mt Athos Greece to seek the intercessions of the Theotokos, pray, weep, meditate on my potential death, and seek out very specific wonder working icons to lay my face on. The cancer docs were blowing up my phone because I refused a PET scan right after my surgery (which was the right choice if you know about PET scans and why) and I told them until I sought Christ on Athos I was suspending anymore doc visits or talk of treatments. I should be in my 5th week of radiation starting to feel the heavy effects, unable to swallow, permanently altering my DNA by its brutality potentially guaranteeing future cancers just from that. Instead, yesterday I got my results back from my new PET scan. No evidence of malignancy anywhere. Can you imagine if I would have done the radiation? Lord have mercy. Now I want to show people how I did it. Stay tuned. Most Holy Theotokos Save Us, glory to God in all things.

Semitic inscription of the day: the Hadad Statue of Panamuwa I (KAI 214, c. 775 BCE). Language: Śamʾālian. Found in 1890 at Gerçin northeast of Zincirli (ancient Samʾal) and now in Berlin's Vorderasiatisches Museum. King Panamuwa I dedicated this colossal basalt statue of the storm-god Hadad and asks later kings who sacrifice there to remember his nbš ("soul"), that it may eat and drink with the god. Drawing: Lidzbarski 1898.

كنت أذهب للأردن فالتسعينات للصيد بالصقور أو بالبنادق وذلك حسب موسم الطيور المهاجرة.. كانوا النشاما يرافقوني في رحلاتي وهم من بدو الأردن.. وكان أحدهم كبيراً فالسن.. يلبس كندورة صوف وعقال.. سوالفه سوالف رجال.. يعد القصيد ويذبح ويصلخ ويطبخ ويقرب الجميع عالأكل ويقول: سمّو بسم الله على كرامة الشيخ سالم.. كان قمة في الأخلاق والبداوة والسنع.. وبعد ثلاث أيام ونحن في براري الأردن أخبروني بأنه مسيحي 🙄 ضربت فيوزات مخي🤦 ولم أتخيل بأنه ليس بمسلم وهو بكل هذه الصفات البدوية الإسلامية.. انصدمت لحبي وتقديري له من بد كل المرافقين.. وكعادته هو من يشب الضو لتبدأ سمرتنا ونتسامر بسوالفه الطيبة.. فقلت سأسئله عن سبب عدم دخولهم للإسلام ولتبدأ السمرة بمحتوى جديد.. مختصر جوابه : نحن العرب المسيحيين أأصل من العرب المسلمين في المنطقة.. وأقدم من الإسلام، وأغلب المسلمين كانوا مسيحيين قبل أن يدخلوا دين الإسلام.. حافظنا على ديننا وعاداتنا وعشنا معكم بسلام عالحلوه والمره. سوّد الله وجه الإرهاب والارهابيين وتعازينا ل #الأردن مسلميها ومسيحييها ولا أراكم مكروه

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
