September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Russia has ‘more occult healers than doctors’
 

There are more occult healers in Russia than professional doctors, a leading Russian psychologist said on Monday.

“According to World Health Organization data, there are some 800,000 sorcerers and wizards in Russia,” Andrei Yurevich from the Russian Academy of Sciences told a RIA Novosti news conference.

“As for professional doctors, there are around 640,000,” he added.

Russian newspapers are full of ads for all manner of urban witches and wizards, and an Internet search for Magicheskie Uslugi (Magical Services) brings up a vast number of websites offering to satisfy every conceivable human desire - for a price.

A survey carried out by the Levada independent polling agency in August discovered that one fifth of Russians have made use of such services.

Although the authorities have recently moved to crack down on occult advertising, analysts say the entire industry would simply move underground if outlawed.

However, the law would still allow licensed healers to stay in business.

Since 2008, the Federal Scientific Clinical Center for Traditional Methods of Diagnostics and Healing has been issuing permits to practitioners of what it calls “traditional medicine” - an extremely broad definition that includes both folk medicine and psychic healers.

The late 1980s saw an explosion of belief in the paranormal and the occult in the Soviet Union, with psychic healers Anatoly Kashpirovsky and Allan Chumak drawing audiences of millions.

In other countries, they call these people "faith healers." And surprisingly, a lot of people go to them regardless of the gravity of their sickness: colds, cough and even cancer. Undecided
