We’ve heard the terms tree huggers, nature freaks, anti-vaxers and it has always carried a negative connotation. Only those crazy hippies in California believe these ‘outlandish’ things. And yet we are starting to see why their naturalistic ideas have been thwarted in all our main information streams.

Love Your Liver

Monday Apr 15, 2024
For most, seeing liver on your plate imparts immediate disinterest. But the liver is one of the most interesting organs of the human body. This amazing organ weighs about 3 pounds and is the second largest organ in the body, second only to skin (yes your skin is actually an organ!). The liver is also the only organ in the body that can actually regenerate itself. This is good news because the liver takes a beating every single day, working hard to protect us from the many toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. A healthy life undoubtedly depends on a healthy liver!

Healthy Living - Antibiotic Dangers
By Andi and Brian Hale

Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro), levofloxacin (Levaquin), and moxifloxacin (Avelox), are powerful antibiotics designed to battle various bacterial infections—from urinary tract and respiratory infections to dermatological conditions.
Cipro was originally in develpment to be a cancer drug for stomach cancer. It was also found to have anti-microbial properties. The Bayer Pharma changed gears and got it approved in 1987 as and antibiotic because the requirements were less stringent and easier to fast track.
The World Health Organization classifies ciprofloxacin as critically important for human medicine. In 2021, it was the 141st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 4 million prescriptions.
According to NIH, quinolones are used in the treatment of serious bacterial infections in adults; however, their use in children has been restricted due to concerns about potential cartilage damage. Nevertheless, quinolones are increasingly prescribed for pediatric patients. Ciprofloxacin is licensed in children >1 year of age for pseudomonal infections in cystic fibrosis, for complicated urinary tract infections, and for the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalation anthrax.
Cipro causes MANY horrible complications including ruptured achilles and quadriceps tendons. Here are two stories of people effected by this drug. One was over 9 years ago, and yet they still prescribe this drug like it’s aspirin.

Week 164 - REFINED FOODS
The secret is out. It is now in the ‘mainstream media’. NPR has published an article highlighting the fact that the food we eat is slowly killing us.
Evidence against ultra-processed food piles up
A study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of processed foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, obesity, metabolic syndrome, certain cancers including colorectal cancer and premature death.
The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies, which researchers analyzed as part of umbrella review.
One telltale sign that a food is ultra-processed is if its ingredient label includes substances you would not find in your own kitchen such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, hydrolysed protein, or additives such as artificial colors, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, anti-caking agents and thickeners.

Love Your Skin

Monday Mar 11, 2024
Beauty products — everything from shampoo to makeup to cologne — can help you feel on top of your game. They can also cause irritated skin or an allergic reaction. A dermatology study published in 2010 found that more than a third of over 900 study participants had at least one allergic reaction to cosmetic ingredients.
Problems can range from simple rashes to full-blown allergic reactions. Symptoms can start right after you use something new — or after years of using a product with no problems. But above and beyond the skin irritations, personal care products have been linked to several serious health issues like alzheimers, parkinsons, hormone imbalance and cancer.
Most ingredients in personal care products are in a category known as “generally recognized as safe,” or GRAS, explains Dr. Nicole Kleinstreuer, a computational toxicologist at NIH. But certain chemicals that may cause health problems can be found in many of these products. How much you’re exposed to is often what makes a chemical harmful. The amount that’s “safe” varies for each.
“The general classes we’re concerned about include phthalates, parabens, PFAS, and metals like lead,” says White. Other problem chemicals include triclosan and triclocarban. These are included in many personal care products to prevent bacterial and fungal growth.
Many chemicals of concern, including phthalates, parabens, PFAS, and triclosan, are endocrine disruptors. These are compounds that can mimic or interfere with the body’s hormones. They’ve been linked to problems with the brain, development, and reproduction. Some have also been linked to a higher risk of certain cancer types.

What Is a Hormonal Imbalance?
Hormones are chemicals in your body that are produced by the endocrine glands. Hormones move through your bloodstream to reach the organs and tissues in your body, and regulate functions like:
Appetite and metabolism
Sleep cycles
Heart rate
Sexual and reproductive functions
Overall growth and development
Mood and stress levels
Body temperature
A hormonal imbalance occurs when your body produces too much or too little of the important hormones in your bloodstream. Although an occasional irregularity is not harmful, a major imbalance can have severe consequences on your health.
For women in their 40s or 50s, that’s likely a sign their body is transitioning to menopause.
It’s common for those entering this natural stage of life to gain weight and belly fat (sometimes called “menopause belly”) and experience other bothersome symptoms — sleep-interrupting night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness that causes pain during sex, urinary tract infections, irregular periods, depression, thinning hair, mood swings, weight gain and more.

Dementia Myths

Saturday Feb 17, 2024
How much do you know about Dementia or Alzheimers Disease? Chances are you know more than a few folks that have been affected by it! The numbers of new diagnoses are skyrocketing and there’s a reason for that!
Increasing age is strongly associated with the development of dementia, particularly from dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative causes. Dementia is characterized by significant cognitive decline to the point where independence in everyday activities becomes affected.
Early symptoms of Alzheimer’s:
Loss of smell
Vision issues
Trouble sleeping
Mood swings / Agitation
Difficulty remembering recent events
Difficulty finding words
Problems with spatial location
What we know about Alzheimer’s:
The brain shrinks, starting with the hippocampus
People are getting it at a younger age (as early as their 20s)
There is a correlation between hyperinsulinemia and Alzheimer’s
Treating amyloid plaque hasn’t produced results
Exercise can help reduce the onset of dementia
We’ve often been told that exercise is good for our health, specifically for the body. But is exercise specifically good for your brain? Ultimately, exercise will increase the amount of oxygen in your blood, which is beneficial to every cell in your body.
Physical inactivity ranks as the fourth major risk factor for death globally and has been recognized as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Successfully promoting increased physical activity, by engaging in regular aerobic exercise, has the potential to reduce age-associated disease.
Some medication can increase loss of memory
According to Dr. Joel Wallach, “Alzheimer’s” is a physician CAUSED disease!!!
It didn’t even occur in people over 40 years ago, and now it’s the #4 killer of people in the USA over age 65!!
What is Alzheimer’s disease? Well, it’s the disappearing of your brain’s insulation, the Myelin!! What is Myelin made out off? It’s made from CHOLESTEROL!!!

Dangers of Ozempic

"If a fish tank is dirty, you clean the tank. You don’t drug the fish."
‘Absolute Disaster’: Pharma Whistleblower Slams Popular Weight-Loss Drug
Calley Means, founder of health tech firm TrueMed, during the Feb. 2 episode of “The Tucker Carlson Encounter” cited numerous reported side effects — including gastrointestinal issues and suicidal thoughts — of the popular weight-loss drug.
Means, co-author of the book, “Good Energy: The Surprising Link Between Metabolism and Limitless Health,” also argued drugs like Ozempic fail to address the current metabolic health crisis in the U.S., which is rooted in poor nutrition and lifestyle choices.
And yet the messaging that is coming out of the media is that it is a disease that can be solved with drugs. Even Netflix is getting in the on the game. Meat bad – sugar good!?
It’s all about the numbers – 80% of the polulation are prediabetic
According to Means, surging obesity rates have created perverse financial motivations that prioritize lifelong pharmaceutical use over preventative care.
There are significant health concerns. It’s not even approved in Europe, where it is manufactured.
Means said that even in the U.S., where the drug is approved to treat obesity, up to 30% of patients prescribed Ozempic stop using it within three months, attributing this in part to harsh gastrointestinal side effects.
Nausea
Diarrhea
Stomach (abdominal) pain
Vomiting
Constipation
Suicidal thoughts
Ozempic “paralyzes your stomach,” Means said. “And there are studies now saying that [the inability] … to digest food actually stays after you go off the drug. You’re consistently seeing patients who go off the drugs gain the weight back.”
The health care industry is corrupt
While Novo Nordisk downplays legitimate medical concerns in pursuit of sales growth, the potential costs to society are extreme according to health trends Means cited.
With 80% of American adults now overweight amid declining metabolic health markers, analysts forecast more than $1 trillion in annual Ozempic revenues if prescription rates increase in line with current obesity trends.
Weight Watchers has partnered with Ozempic
One of the oldest and most trusted weight loss programs, Weight Watchers, has added Ozempic prescriptions to their list of services.
“Our institutions, particularly the healthcare industry, have completely let us down. Why aren’t doctors giving their patients prescriptions for food interventions if they have pre-diabetes … or allowing them to use their medically tax-advantaged dollars to [pay for] exercise [programs]? If you actually follow the science,” these would be the correct medical interventions, rather than drugs like Ozempic. We’re so gaslighted by this. It’s just pill, pill, pill.”
“Our biggest industry, the healthcare industry, is profiting from us being sick. It’s just that simple. We need to unwind that or we’re going to destroy our human capital and destroy our [national] budget.”
CALLEY MEANS
How can we stop it?
Stop letting Big Pharma buy everyone off. Pharmaceutical companies are paying dividends, grants, consulting fees, etc to the Universities, Health Care providers, individual Dr’s and Mainstream Media all to control the narrative.

Perfect Poo
By Andi Hale
Everybody poops, but nobody really talks about it. But while putting a lid on all potty talk may keep conversations civilized, it may mean we’re missing out on valuable clues to our health.
Your poop can tell you if you’re eating enough fiber and drinking enough water, or if your digestive system is processing food too slowly or too quickly. Also, lasting changes in your bowel habits or the appearance of your poop can be a sign of a medical condition that requires treatment.
Your poo is the end result of your digestion, but your health begins in your gut. It seems like maintaining a healthy gut is the new rage, so how do you know if your gut is healthy and how do you keep it that way?
What is a healthy gut?
Determining whether you have a healthy gut involves assessing various factors related to digestion, bowel habits, overall well-being, and the diversity and balance of your gut microbiome. While individual experiences may vary, here are several indicators that suggest you have a healthy gut:
Regular Bowel Movements
Absence of Digestive Discomfort
Diverse Diet Tolerance
Balanced Mood and Energy Levels
Strong Immune Function
Normal Weight Maintenance
Well-Being of Skin and Hair
Optimal Sleep Patterns
It’s important to note that individual experiences of gut health can vary, and occasional fluctuations in digestive function may be normal. However, persistent or severe digestive symptoms, changes in bowel habits, or other concerning signs should be discussed with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
How does poop demonstrate a healthy gut?
Poop, while often a subject of humor or discomfort, holds significant clues about our digestive health, particularly the state of our gut microbiome. The gut microbiome refers to the diverse community of microorganisms that reside in our digestive tract, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. These microscopic inhabitants play a crucial role in various aspects of our health, including digestion, immune function, and even mental well-being.
Here’s how poop can serve as an indicator of a healthy gut biome:
Consistency: The texture and consistency of stool can provide insights into the efficiency of digestion and absorption in the gut. Ideally, stool should be well-formed and easy to pass, indicating that the digestive system is functioning optimally. Loose stools or diarrhea may suggest an imbalance in the gut microbiome or issues with food tolerance.
Color: The color of stool can vary depending on factors like diet, hydration, and the presence of certain substances. Generally, a healthy poop color ranges from light to dark brown, reflecting the breakdown of bile pigments in the digestive process. Unusual colors like red (indicating blood), black (suggesting bleeding in the upper digestive tract), or pale (possible bile duct obstruction) may warrant further investigation.
Odor: While nobody enjoys discussing poop odors, they can provide valuable information about gut health. Normal stool typically has a mild odor due to the fermentation of undigested food by gut bacteria. Strong, foul-smelling stool could indicate an imbalance in the gut microbiome or the presence of certain infections or digestive disorders.
Frequency: Regularity in bowel movements is often considered a sign of good digestive health. While individual bowel habits can vary, most people pass stool anywhere from three times per day to three times per week. Consistent changes in bowel habits, such as increased frequency or constipation, may indicate underlying issues with the gut microbiome or digestive function.
Composition: Poop is composed of various elements, including water, undigested food particles, bacteria, and waste products. Analyzing the composition of stool can provide insights into the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the gut microbiome.
pH Level: The pH level of stool can also offer clues about gut health. A slightly acidic pH (around 6.7) is considered normal and helps inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut. Significant deviations from this range may suggest imbalances in the gut microbiome or digestive disorders.
