Hi Alex, I missed you not being on Talk TV today, I enjoyed your fiery monologues which are spot-on. It's unfair for people to mention it imo. I can kind of relate to your condition. My partner has Lupus. It's a vile disease requiring steroids too. Bizarrely this has no disability status or any help what so ever from the government yet allegedly not being able to poo or having anxiety does!

I could honestly see the strain getting to you, and rightly so , ‘anyone that isn’t reacting in a wound up tighter than a grandfather’s clock coiled spring ‘ isn’t aware of the rot . However, like you I’ve also had to remove myself , temporarily from the madness , as I also felt it affecting my health . So darling rest -up and look after yourself as this crazy world gets crazier by the day …. X X X Come back stronger x

Alex we all get that wake up call where it is unsustainable what we do but on reflection you achieved so much to get you to where you are now doing what you did. Now you have that foundation you can still have the influence and passion, just on your terms.

Will miss you while you are not doing Talk as it’s my weekend running listen.

Take care

Hi Alex

Sorry that you are having such an awful time. Watching on you on Utube I wondered if you were stressed.😱.

Look after yourself and I hope it doesn’t take you too long to get off the steroids.

Dearest Alex, Can I recommend something for the atopy? I know you’ve probably tried everything, but something that I know has worked for many is colostrum powder, desiccated liver supplements, beef tallow cream as well as eliminating all seed oils from one’s diet. I hope that one of those might bring you some relief.

Sorry to hear you've been poorly, Alex. It's good that you're listening to yourself and being wise about stepping back so you can recover. Nothing is worth being overly stressed. I've loved discovering you on YouTube and I really value hearing your opinions and insights. Your work on highlighting the dangers of mass immigration to women is particularly notable. As a woman, thank you from the bottom of my heart for raising this issue. I hope you're back to full health and equilibrium very soon.
