Montana man, 63, who has no family spends his life traveling back and forth across US on horse-drawn carriage at 3mph and has just started his fifth trip
Daily Mail ^ | 5/12/24 | Alexa Cimino

Since 2009, Lee Crafton, or Lee Horselogger as he prefers to be called, has been traveling across the country in a horse-drawn carriage, and now he's on his fifth trip.

His journey started in 2006 when he lost his ranch in East Glacier, Montana after 27 years and dropped out of his Ph.D. program. Lee took his life savings of $75 and a couple of horses and decided to explore the nation, traveling at just three miles an hour.

Needless to say, Lee is not your typical 63-year-old.

But one year prior to his career change, Lee was diagnosed with Lymphoma at age 48 and had a tumor growing in his neck. Weary of chemotherapy, he opted for more naturopathic herbal treatments. Believe it or not, his tumor started to shrink and his cancer was gone.

His cancer diagnosis ultimately served as a wake up call, reminding him of his humanity and what he wanted to do with his remaining time.

'If you're unhappy and you're under stress, you're not going to get well,' he told the Seattle Times in 2009. 'What the cancer did is it kicked me in the ass,' he says. 'About all I can say is it woke me up. It got me doing things I should have done years ago.'

In 2009, Lee had a 50-foot-long horse team and wagon. Today, he has one horse left named Jessie, who travels at 3mph.

But what motivates this horseman? As he told local ABC affiliate WPBF - why not?

**SNIP**

Despite not having any money and only enough food for his horse, Lee did not get discouraged and instead raised money for the materials to make a new carriage with the help of a GoFundMe and selling his own merchandise.

Many folks get chemo, get sick from it after their rounds of chemo are al out done, then “decide to go the natural route” and viola, the tumor slowly dissappears- yeah, tha KS to the rounds of chemo kicking in and murdering the tumor finally.

Hard to say that “the chemo failed while natural herbs killed the tumor”. It very well could be that the chemo did what it was supposed to do, and thankfully the person didn’t give up on the chemo sooner. I’ve known a few people who decided to stop chemo and radiation after a few rounds and “go the natural route” who died. Did their stopping the chemo cause their death? Or was the cancer just a deadly cancer that kills no matter what? Did the natural route have no effect? Hard to tell.

Anyways, glad he went out and lived while he can

Their doctors may have ‘advised’ them to stop Ivermectin-—

BUT the doctors didn’t MAKE them stop.

We all can make INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS.

I believe Ivermectin has many good uses.

Humans use Penicillin-—IT also is used for horses & other livestock

I would have said to the doc “I’ve been taking ivermectin everytime I get a flu, and it wipes it out fast, while other members in the house who choose not to use it suffer several days. This has happ3ned more times than I can count now, so it’s not all coincidence.

If my cancer markers dropped while I was taking ivermectin, then there is no way i am going to stop taking it. Further, there is no reason to stop as ivermectin is extremely safe, and can be taken along with traditional cancer meds to no ill effect.

I find it frankly unconscionable that I would be told to stop something so safe that can and very well should be used as an adjuvant treatment since there is no evidence that using it while in treatment for cancer would be detrimental”

I used it with the normal treatments I had with my bladder cancer and had no reoccurances in over three years.

I believe each of those require more calories to digest than they give or pretty close to net zero gain.

Had a friend, marathon runner, who could not lose the last 10 pounds he wanted prior to a race.

I gave him an enhancement to his diet plan and he reached his goal in 2-3 weeks. He was happy and amazed.

Doesn’t our continued failure to drop dead undermine the antivax fear-mongering claims?

What about the non-fatal events, which are seldom if ever reported? What about long-term effects that will pop up later? What about unknown effects upon fertility and child survival?

My wife and I both recovered from COVID in November 2020, before the vaxx came out. I told her that we would not need it, having natural immunity, and declined to take it. She chose to Believe MSNBC, Fauci and Biden instead. Within ten days after her third jab she developed Parkinson’s type symptoms, loss of balance and bouts of dementia. She had several falls, one of which resulted in surgery for an elbow fracture. She’s now in long term care; the meds slow the progression but show no improvement. She’s had COVID twice more. I have not had it, even in close contact with her while infected.

And we can’t even sue the b@$t@rd$! When President Trump takes office, I hope he will remove the restrictions on suing the vaccinazis for the damage they’ve caused.

Thank you.

Charlatans sell their "natural cures" by highlighting the patients who survive. What they omit mentioning is that surgery alone cures a certain proportion of patients and combinations of surgery and/or radiation and/or chemo cures a larger proportion. So they can highlight a patient for whom surgery (or the treatment they received) was adequate treatment as "proof" that their scam remedies worked. Of course they never mention the patients who discontinued evidence-based cancer treatment in favor of their "natural remedies" and went on to die.

I believe the true effect of the vaccine is being purposely hidden or obscured.

Vaccine effects have been researched for over 200 years now. At this time, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from vaccines.

Of course! you can’t expect those same agencies responsible for producing and promoting the vaccine to come out and willingly (honestly) attribute complications or adverse vaccine events (remember the stopped updating that?).

The VAERS reporting system, as well as the other adverse event reporting systems, is still up and running. Certain serious adverse events are reportable by law. The vaccine package inserts actually contain a section explaining the VAERS reporting requirements for health care professionals. Anyone, of course, can submit a report.

I’m not saying the Covid Vaccine is causing direct quick deaths but I’m not convinced one bit that the multitude of anecdotal incidents of myocardia, etc. aren’t mid-long term effects, either.

Anecdotal stories are worthless. There are actual documented instances of myocardia, especially in young men after the second dose. These have been investigated and reported on in the medical literature. The rate of myocardia in the highest risk group is about one per 50,000 doses (IIRC). It has been found that the rate goes down if the interval between vaccine doses is increased.

The long-term effects of vaccination have been investigated, as I already said, for over 200 years. Long-term, vaccines provide protection which can prevent or decrease severity of disease. As for adverse events that last for a long time, like Guillain-Barré syndrome, those are immune-system disorders which are triggered more frequently by catching infectious diseases than from getting vaccinated, but the mechanism is the same either way. The immune system causes adverse events, not the vaccine.

I've seen antivax propagandist predictions that everyone who has been vaccinated would die within two years, then three. I wonder how long they'll keep extending that deadline because we keep failing to die?

And, as far as the 1.2 Million deaths go, there are other things to consider like hospitals being paid extra money to ‘treat Covid ailments,’ diagnoses by opinion of symptoms (vs actual verified clinical testing), etc.

This is pure conspiracy theory, which is not supported by facts. Hospitals were so overrun with seriously ill Covid patients that they were turning away people with other illnesses. As a result, about 1/3 of the half-million excess deaths that occurred during the first year of the pandemic were caused by increased deaths caused by heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and other ailments that are typically among the top ten causes of death.

If, as the conspiracy goes, hospitals were counting other causes of death as Covid, then how do you explain the 528,891 (in 2020), 609,393 (in 2021), and 418,867 (in 2022) excess deaths that occurred during the peak of the pandemic? If we started seeing those numbers of excess deaths without a pandemic going on, then we would immediately start looking at why, since people don't just start dropping dead in large numbers like that without a reason.

Let's put it this way. Vaccines have been researched for over 200 years. This extensive body of research gives us a pretty good idea of what to look for any time a new vaccine comes out.

All vaccines, the Covid vaccines included, "work" by stimulating the immune system to respond to a pathogenic attack. In other words, the vaccine does nothing. The effects of the vaccine are caused by natural immune system functioning.

My wife and I both recovered from COVID in November 2020, before the vaxx came out. I told her that we would not need it, having natural immunity, and declined to take it.

The term "natural" immunity is very misleading. All immunity is natural. You can get natural immunity from disease, which is risky because diseases cause all kinds of problems, including and up to death. Or you can get natural immunity from vaccines, which is far safer.

Your disease-induced immunity is gone by now. Typically, immunity against coronaviruses lasts for a few months. In fact, immunity against most pathogens wears off after a while. This is why boosters are given.

Within ten days after her third jab she developed Parkinson’s type symptoms, loss of balance and bouts of dementia.

Not to be rude, but Parkinson's disease develops over a period of time. I am not a medical doctor, so I cannot give a diagnosis or suggest a treatment. That said, your description sounds like her Parkinson's has reached at least stage 3. On average, it takes about 9 years to reach stage 3. The 5 Stages of Parkinson’s Disease Explained. The diagnosis of a major ailment within days of receiving a vaccine is completely coincidental. It is very unfortunate that your wife is dealing with this issue.
