If there is a particular health concern that is not listed on the above websites then go to Brave Search. Type “Natural Remedies For…” and the name of the health problem you’re concerned about. I do not recommend popular search engines, such as Google, because a lot of information is censored.

And I recently discovered that Walmart will require suppliers to add the RFID tracking devices in household goods and automotive products by September 2022. I will be posting more information about that soon.
And I’m not just trying to pick on Walmart. Other companies may be doing it too. Walmart may be the only one who is admitting it. This information is not being posted to cause fear but rather awareness for your prayerful consideration. And also you may want to ask companies if they are putting RFID tracking devices in their products before you buy anything else from them. With that being said the following are places that have affordable clothes and accessories and to my knowledge they do not have RFID chips:
Of course you can also get affordable clothes from thrift stores, however you wouldn’t know if they came from Walmart and have RFID chips in them or not.
In addition, get good walking shoes and rain boots.

Just like your feet, you also want your hands to be protected from frostbite.
In addition, make sure you have the following clothes items for the winter season:
coats/winter jackets
flannel
fleece
hats — help to retain heat in the body
plush
scarves/hat scarves
sweaters
turtlenecks
You can get really good winter clothes from the following places:
They may be more expensive, but I listed them for those who can afford it. And if you can’t afford them that’s okay. I can’t either. We just have to do our best and trust God with the rest.
