Healthy Living Podcast (Hale Broadcasting)

Flu season is hectic! Strep, flu and colds are rampant during the winter months, so how can you stay healthy? We have gathered several healing recipes using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen pantry.

Prevention and Immunity Building Recipes Keep your overall health nourished and strong against any illness with some of these home remedies.

Fruit Boosters Fruit is an overlooked but powerful tool to boost your immune system and keep it strong all year long. If you seek ways to prevent colds, flu, or any other infections without medical supplements, you must include fruits in your daily meal plan.

Most fruits are low in fat, sodium, as well as calories, with none having cholesterol. Fruits are rich sources of many vital nutrients that are under-consumed, such as potassium, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and folate. Here we have listed a few fruits names, which will boost your immune system without any kind of side effects.

Elderberries The elderberry contains certain compounds and substances that might have a beneficial impact on health.

Here are some of the main reported health benefits of elderberries:

Elderberries have long been used as an ally against upper respiratory infections. They’ve been scientifically proven to be effective against at least 8 different influenza viruses! Which is pretty amazing.

There is some evidence to support the claim that elderberry can help treat colds and flu, though the available studies are small.

Elderberry fruit contains high levels of flavonoids, which means it might have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These help to protect healthy cells from harmful free radicals that play a role in skin problems.

Elderberries contain high levels of vitamin A. The ANA also say that elderberries may soothe the skin, help ease the appearance of age spots, and prevent or lessen wrinkles.

Oregano Oil Discover the Power of Oregano Oil, an ancient healer & modern-day miracle! Oregano oil has been used for centuries as a potent remedy for a wide range of health issues like :

Immune boosting Fights respiratory infections Supports digestive health Today, science has unlocked the secret behind its extraordinary benefits because it contains powerful compounds like carvacrol and thymol, These compounds give oregano oil it’s impressive antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, studies show that it’s even more effective than pharmaceutical alternatives!

Oregano oil is a true champion in the world of natural remedies.

DIY Oregano Oil

Dried organic oregano (about 24 oz) Organic extra virgin olive oil (750 ml) In a large mason jar, fill it halfway with dried organic oregano. Pour some EVOO inand stir in increments until jar is full. Allow the oregano to infuse into the oil for 2-3 weeks. Strain and store oil in a dark, cool place.

How to use it?

Use it topically for Nail Fungus, Athlete’s Foot,Insect Bites, Warts Add a few drops to a diffuser for respiratory health Take 3-4 drops of oregano oil up to 3 x daily For children, 1-2 drops up to 2 x daily (Be extra cautious with infants and toddlers) The best times to use oregano oil are when symptoms first appear or when you’re seeking preventative care during cold and flu season.

Ginger For centuries, people in various parts of the world have used ginger as a traditional herbal remedy for common health problems. According to research, preliminary studies indicate that it may have beneficial properties, but clinical trials are necessary to further investigate them.

It is worth noting that studies tend to use ginger extract rather than raw ginger or ginger juice. However, ginger juice likely offers benefits that are similar in type, if not in magnitude. These include:

Reducing inflammation: The anti-inflammatory effects may help relieve the pain of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the wearing away of joint cartilage due to aging, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints.

Relieving pain unrelated to arthritis: Ginger may help alleviate pain associated with the menstrual cycle and migraine headaches.

Improving gastrointestinal function: This includes enhancing digestion. Decreasing nausea and vomiting: Ginger may help prevent and reduce nausea and vomiting that comes with chemotherapy and pregnancy.

Improve blood sugar control: Ginger may lower blood sugar and improve factors related to the development of type 2 diabetes, such as insulin resistance.

Reducing the risk of other chronic diseases: This includes obesity-related factors that increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. It may also decrease risk factors of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Reduce a Fever Did you know that raisins can fight infections and reduce fever in children?!? It’s that simple! 😋

Raisins are known to have powerful anti-bacterial properties for fighting infection and reducing fevers in children! 👍They are also high in fiber, which is great for digestion.

Raisins can be added to any meal or snack and are a great way to add sweetness without adding extra sugars.

Step-by-Step :

Soak less than 1 oz of raisins for an hour Mush them in a paste give to your child when they are feverish Focus on feet According to Chinese reflexology—an ancient form of complementary medicine—the feet are covered in “access points” that connect to all other areas of your body, via your qi, or life force energy. Basically, treat the feet to treat the whole body.

If you have a cold or flu, there is a trick that you could try to reduce the cold. This is done by placing a thin potato or onion slice underneath your foot and covering them with socks.

Leave the socks on overnight as you sleep. In the morning, you’ll wake up feeling better.

How this works? The nerves in the feet have been a focal point of Eastern medicine for thousands of years and are thought to act as access points to the internal organs.

Western medicine and science have shown that sulphuric compounds in potatoes and onions have the ability to kill bacteria and viruses—but only when ingested, and in very limited studies. When it comes down to it, there’s no solid scientific evidence that food on your feet can cure a cold. Then again, there’s also no evidence that they don’t, either.

Foods that can make your cold and flu symptoms worse

At the first signs of cold and flu, we all reach for hot tea to which we add lemon, squeeze oranges, add hot soup… But did you know that sometimes foods that are considered healthy can actually harm you when you are sick?

Of course, this does not mean that this food is not healthy, and it is important to note that every body reacts differently to food, so if something from the following list does not have a bad effect on you, then ignore it.

When you have the flu, fever or cold, there is a possibility that your symptoms will be delayed by the following foods:

Spinach It is believed that spinach can stimulate inflammatory processes and worsen the feeling of fatigue, which accompanies the symptoms of flu and colds.

Nuts Although they contain many nutrients that help against infections, still refrain from snacking on walnuts in the initial stage of the disease, especially if it is a fever or a stomach virus. They are rich in fats that the body burns slowly and for a long time, so it robs you of the energy you need to fight the disease.

Broccoli Vitamins such as A and C that it contains are very useful for immunity, but in order not to irritate the body further and to leave room for it to successfully fight infections and inflammations, consume foods that contain less fiber and are easier to digest, unlike from the broccoli.

Artificial sweeteners can sound like a dream come true. All that sweet taste but no actual sugar and no (or very few) calories sounds great!

In our Glucose Overload article we reported that most American consumers are so addicted to sugar that they will deny their addictions in the same way that a crack or heroin addict might. Sugar is, essentially, a legalized recreational drug that’s socially acceptable to consume. And yet, just like other drugs, it destroys a person’s health over time, rotting out their teeth, disrupting normal brain function, promoting heart disease and directly causing diabetes and obesity. 

So we know sugar is not good for you, but we love sweet, so what do we do about that? Well we know what the food industry did. They created fake sugar out of chemicals, not once but several times.

Artificial sweeteners can sound like a dream come true. All that sweet taste but no actual sugar and no (or very few) calories? Yes, please! But artificial sweeteners come with concerns of their own.

• Just as with sugar, artificial sweeteners may cause you to crave more sweet and sugary foods.
• Artificial sweeteners often include sugar alcohols. One sugar alcohol commonly used in artificial sweeteners, erythritol, has been linked to increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
• Some researchers suggest artificial sweeteners may be linked to a range of other health conditions, including having obesity, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and more. Those outcomes haven’t been validated across the board, though. Research is still ongoing.

So let’s name these sugar substitutes and dig into their benefits, or lack thereof.

Increases in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome has led to a shift toward low-calorie artificial sweeteners. The United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) authority has approved six nonnutritive sweeteners [NNS] (saccharine, aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame-K, and stevia) for use in humans and has classified them under generally recognized as safe (GRAS) category.

• Acesulfame potassium (Sweet One, Sunett) is 200 times sweeter than sugar.
• Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal) is 200 times sweeter than sugar.
• Neotame (Newtame) is 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.
• Saccharin (Sweet’N Low) is up to 700 times sweeter than sugar.
• Sucralose (Splenda) is 600 times sweeter than sugar.
• Luo han guo (Monk Fruit in the Raw) is 200 times sweeter than sugar.
• Purified stevia leaf extracts (Truvia, PureVia, others) is 400 times sweeter than sugar..

I got some bad news …

Extensive marketing by the manufacturers has led to overuse, and sometimes even abuse of NNS, by the population. They are believed to suppress hunger and appetite, leading to beneficial effect on body weight and cardiometabolic profile and are consumed by both lean and obese alike. A huge number of diabetic patients too opt for these “sugar-free” sweeteners as a substitute for sugar in their diet.

Some research on long-term, daily use of artificial sweeteners suggests a link to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and death overall.

Other research is looking at long-term use of sugar substitutes and the gut. Many focus on how the gut and brain communicate. Researchers are checking to see if sugar substitutes affect cravings for sweets, the way people feel hunger and how the body manages blood sugar.

In the early 1970s, saccharin was linked with the development of bladder cancer in laboratory rats. Since then, the FDA has conducted “extensive research” on saccharin. In 2000, the U.S. government removed the requirement for a warning label on foods and drinks made with saccharin.

Sugar alcohols, stevia and luo han guo can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. The amount of sugar alcohol that causes these symptoms varies from person to person.

An observational study done in France studied 100,000 adults and found that those consuming aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, especially in larger amounts, had higher risk of cancer.

The World Health Organization (WHO) listed aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” on July 14, 2023. Aspartame is found in the majority of diet sodas like Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, some Snapple drinks, gum and even some yogurts and candies.

In the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, daily consumption of diet drinks was associated with a 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome and a 67% increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Aren’t these diseases that artificial sweeteners may help prevent in the first place?

Overstimulation of sugar receptors from frequent use of these hyper-intense sweeteners may limit tolerance for more complex tastes. That means people who routinely use artificial sweeteners may start to find less intensely sweet foods, such as fruit, less appealing and unsweet foods, such as vegetables, downright unpalatable.

In other words, use of artificial sweeteners can make you shun healthy, filling, and highly nutritious foods while consuming more artificially flavored foods with less nutritional value.

Start reading labels – if you can’t pronounce it then it probably shouldn’t be in your food. Eat real, whole foods, grass-fed meats, organic produce and minimal sweets and kick sweeteners like aspartame to the curb.

 

 

   

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:

1. Appetite and metabolism
2. Sleep cycles
3. Heart rate
4. Sexual and reproductive functions
5. Overall growth and development
6. Mood and stress levels
7. 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.

Over 80% of people with prediabetes don’t know they have it because they don’t get tested regularly.

Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. More than nine in 10 cases are type 2 or “adult-onset” diabetes, the kind linked to excess body weight and physical inactivity.

Insulin resistance is when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver can’t use the insulin it makes. As a result, the pancreas produces more insulin to help glucose get into your cells. The CDC relates insulin to a key that lets sugar into cells for use as energy.

One in three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes – that’s about 96 million Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). People with prediabetes have high blood sugar levels that can lead to developing type 2 diabetes.

Over 80% of people with prediabetes don’t know they have it because they don’t get tested regularly.

Prediabetes can leave you at risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Some good news is that an active lifestyle and weight loss can help prevent or delay serious health problems.

The American Diabetes Association recommends testing for prediabetes and diabetes in adults without symptoms who are overweight and have one or more risk factors. They include:

• lack of physical inactivity
• parent or sibling with diabetes
• family background is African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, Alaska Native, American Indian or Pacific Islander
• gestational diabetes or gave birth to a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds
• high blood pressure
• low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good” cholesterol
• high triglyceride levels
• polycystic ovary syndrome
• impaired fasting glucose or glucose tolerance in previous testing
• severe obesity and other conditions associated with insulin resistance
• cardiovascular disease

Can I change it?

The good news about a prediabetes diagnosis is that it can be used as warning sign. Prediabetes can allow you to take control of and change your health and habits before it’s too late. Modest lifestyle changes can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in prediabetics. These changes can even restore normal blood-glucose levels.

A 5-7% weight loss along with 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity can reduce the onset of type 2 diabetes in prediabetics by nearly 60%.

If this sounds like a lot, here’s some perspective: For someone who weighs 200 pounds, a 5-7% weight loss means 10-14 pounds. And 150 minutes of exercise can translate into a brisk 30-minute walk, five days a week.

What foods should I eat?

“People with prediabetes do not have to eliminate entire food groups,” she explains. “All foods can fit in the meal plan, and patients should steer clear of fad diets and other strategies that promise quick fixes, since their claims are not supported. We encourage making gradual behavior changes. Small changes can lead to big results.” – Tara Seymour, clinical dietitian and diabetes educator at Johns Hopkins

The ADA’s version of the recommendations suggests these proportions for meals:

• 50% of the plate filled with nonstarchy vegetables, such as leafy greens
• 25% with healthy carbohydrates, such as whole grains like brown rice, farro or quinoa
• 25% with lean protein, such as chicken, turkey, fish or tofu, not fried

Water or another zero-calorie beverage is preferred.

Seymour also recommends:

• Avoiding excessive intake of added sugars by limiting sugary beverages, cakes, cookies, candy and snacks
• Limiting portion sizes of refined carbohydrate foods such as white bread, white rice and white pasta
• Incorporating fiber to reach a goal of 25 to 30 grams per day by eating a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains
• Limiting saturated and trans fats by choosing lean protein and low-fat dairy

Blood sugar levels are important indications of prediabetes, and it’s no secret that most Americans eat more sugar than they should. Sugar can hide in less obvious places, including processed foods such as breakfast cereals, frozen meals, snacks, sauces and dressings.

Though some sugar is necessary for your body to function, too much can worsen prediabetes. Seymour explains: “Carbohydrates are an important source of energy since glucose [blood sugar] is the preferred molecule to fuel the brain. However, excessive intake of refined carbohydrates from added sugar can cause adverse health effects.

Plant Enzymes Can Turn Sugar to Fiber

The average American consumes about 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day, or 270 calories, well more than the 9 teaspoons for men and 6 teaspoons for women recommended by the American Heart Association.

Harvard University’s Wyss Institute, in a study funded by the Kraft-Heinz Co., found sugar exposed to encapsulated plant enzymes in the gut can be turned into fiber. The finding, if verified, could have a significant impact on an estimated 34.2 million U.S. diabetics.

The enzyme activates only when it encounters a rise in pH “such as that which occurs in the transition from the human stomach to intestine.” 

“This could help diabetics, but it would not make eating sugar healthy,” said Amy Shapiro, founder of Real Nutrition NYC. “Many foods that contain sugar also contain artificial colors, flavors, and processed ingredients which makes them unhealthy and can promote other illnesses like high blood pressure, weight gain, and fatigue.”

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common yet often underestimated health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it may seem inconspicuous, high blood pressure can have serious consequences if left unchecked. Let’s delve into what high blood pressure is, its causes, associated risks, and how you can prevent it.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲?

High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. It’s often referred to as the “silent killer” because it doesn’t usually cause noticeable symptoms until it reaches a dangerous level.

“Normal Blood Pressure”…Big Pharma Keeps Moving The Goalpost.

• 1940: Normal 100+Plus Your Age/95
• 1970: Normal 160/90
• 2000: Normal 140/90
• 2017 & Now: Normal Needs To Be Less Than 120/80

Anti-Hypertensive Drugs worldwide achieved a revenue of $36.7 BILLION in 2024. Blood Pressure Medications do not treat the root cause & inflict grave side effects resulting in more pills prescribed to counter negative side effects. Making Big Pharma even more $$ profit for every additional Medication prescribed to mitigate the side effects from the original Hypertension Medications.

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.

A lectin-free or low-lectin meal plan has provided many people with relief from digestive symptoms and other disorders. But, what the heck are lectins, and who should avoid or limit them?   Let’s take a look at the topic of lectins in more detail to find out if you would benefit from a low-lectin diet.

One important thing to remember is that following a lectin-free diet has preliminary, but not conclusive research to support its benefits.

 

Milk does a body good, right?

Humans have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years and never had any problems. And yet these days, the natural milk right from the cow (or goat, etc.) is dangerous.

The reason milk has been deemed deadly is because of commercialization. In the big cities in the 1800’s, dairy cows would be fed the chaff of the grain used in alcohol production next door. This feed was lacking in any nutrients, so the cows became sickly and their rumen (stomachs) could not kill all the bad bacteria, which then ended up in their milk. The milking conditions were also horrible. Cleanliness was not a priority which caused diseases like e-coli to contaminate the milk. This was when milk got a bad rap as spreading diseases like tuberculosis and e-coli.

In 1856, Pasteur discovered that fermentation was caused by microbes, and that the results of that process – e.g. whether grape juice became wine or vinegar – depended on the microbe present. Later, he saved France’s wine industry from being taken over by the ‘bad’ vinegar microbe, and realized that heating up the wine to a specific temperature for a specific time would kill the microbe and preserve the wine. He patented the procedure and called it ‘pasteurization’.

Pasteurization was then used by the dairy industry in the late 1800s and around the turn of the century because tuberculosis was rampant and often spread through contaminated milk. Robert Koch discovered that tuberculosis was caused by a bacterium and infectious, and not – as widely believed – inheritable, in 1882.

The first law requiring the pasteurization of milk was passed in Chicago in 1908, and has since been the common practice in the US. The process protects the public from food-borne illnesses including salmonellosis, yersiniosis, E. coli-associated hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), brucellosis, listeriosis, typhoid fever, Campylobacter enteritis, Q fever, and cryptosporidosis. It also extends the shelf life of the milk.

Sounds like a no brainer, right? So what’s wrong with pastuerized milk?

Pasteurization is viewed by some as a blessing and by others as a curse. It is possible to find a great amount of detail on the Internet that supports each point of view. Pasteurization not only kills unwanted bacteria and other microbes in milk but also significantly alters the nutritional value and digestibility of the pasteurized milk itself.

Drink pasteurized milk at your own risk!

Not everyone responds to pasteurized milk in the same way. While it is harmful at some level to anyone who consumes it, its negative effects vary widely.

Here are 10 reasons to think twice before consuming pasteurized milk products. Pasteurization is a process of heating raw milk to kill harmful bacteria, but only milk from a diseased animal or milk that has been handled in an unsanitary manner, will contain harmful bacteria. During the pasteurization process milk is heated to a temperature that is harmful to the enzymes and other proteins that naturally occur in unheated raw milk. Pasteurized milk therefore contains denatured proteins. Denatured proteins cannot be completely broken down in the human body. This many times results in lactose intolerance.

Partial breakdown of these denatured proteins results in undigested protein molecules which contribute to cellular inflammation and mucous formation. This increases waste products. An increase in waste products in the bodily fluids contributes to overall toxicity and can overtax the lymphatic system affecting overall immune efficiency.

Pasteurized milk in the form of ice cream, cheese, yogurt, etc. will have the same negative effect as drinking the milk in liquid form.

The enzymes needed to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk, stops being produced in humans between the ages of two and five years old. To continue to drink pasturized milk past the age of five spells trouble to a person’s overall health.

Pasteurized milk contains an altered form of calcium that is very poorly absorbed by the human body. People who insist that milk should be consumed for its high calcium content are terribly misinformed. The calcium found in pasteurized milk is of an extremely poor quality. It is the kind of calcium that readily forms kidney stones, gallstones and phleboliths (calcification in arteries and veins). So what is the alternative?

Raw milk is fresh from the cow, but how do you ensure that it’s not contaminated? We like to say “Shake the hand that feeds you.” You not only help out the small business owner, but you develop a relationship with them and know first hand how they run their operation.

In many ways, raw milk is similar to breastmilk: both are completely natural, fresh, and unprocessed milks. They both contain a wide variety of essential nutrients, fats, proteins, anti-inflammatory and digestive enzymes, bioavailable vitamins, and minerals, all in a natural form which is most easily utilized by the body. In addition, raw milk facilitates production of lactase enzyme in the intestinal tract, allowing many people who are lactose intolerant to digest raw milk with no problems.

Main Findings Large studies have found that raw milk consumption is associated with lower rates of:

asthma allergies eczema ear infections fevers respiratory infections

Allergy protection ceases when raw milk is heated to 149 °F, which is the same temperature at which the whey proteins are denatured. It is likely that the raw whey proteins are responsible for raw milk’s beneficial effects on allergies, asthma, and inflammation.

Childhood consumption of raw milk correlates with higher pulmonary (lung) function and lower incidence of allergic diseases in adults.

Raw milk’s beneficial effects on asthma are partially mediated by regulatory T cells.

‘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

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:

1. Regular Bowel Movements
2. Absence of Digestive Discomfort
3. Diverse Diet Tolerance
4. Balanced Mood and Energy Levels
5. Strong Immune Function
6. Normal Weight Maintenance
7. Well-Being of Skin and Hair
8. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

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!!!

What are SSRI’s

Antidepressants work by changing the balance of certain neurotransmitters in your brain, but which ones they affect and how they affect them varies from one antidepressant to another — and there are many different classes of antidepressants.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are indeed the most common type of antidepressant prescribed in the United States, and they have been ranked number one for several decades.

Serotonin regulates certain aspects of your mood, including feelings of happiness, and SSRIs increase the amount of serotonin in your brain by blocking your brain cells from reabsorbing (or reuptaking) existing serotonin. Most of the time, SSRIs produce a noticeable improvement in people affected by depression within about two to four weeks.

Currently, several different SSRI antidepressants are used to treat depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions. They include: 

• Citalopram (Celexa®)
• Escitalopram (Lexapro®)
• Fluoxetine (Prozac®)
• Fluvoxamine (Luvox®)
• Paroxetine (Paxil®)
• Sertraline (Zoloft®) 
• Vilazodone (Viibryd®)
• Vortioxetine (Trintellix®)

SSRI Side Effects

• Gastrointestinal Issues
• Insomnia
• Weight Changes
• Dry Mouth
• Dizziness, Tremors and Headaches
• Nervousness, Restlessness and Agitation
• Sexual Side Effects

Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect among SSRIs. Women may experience sexual side effects such as difficulty experiencing an orgasm and decreased sex drive. These side effects can affect both men and women. For men, adverse effects can be having difficulty  experiencing orgasm, erectile dysfunction and decreased sex drive. Between 40 and 65 percent of people who take an SSRI experience some form of sexual dysfunction, according to a review of studies published in the journal The Mental Health Clinician.

SSRI’s and Gender Dysphoria

Anti depressants (SSRI’s) can potentially have nasty side effects long after stopping them. One of these is PSSD Post SSRI sexual dysfunction This can cause Total loss of libido Genital numbness Emotional blunting For years or decades You think people are told this prior?

For many users of antidepressants, the sexual side-effects are the reason they eventually discontinue the drug, with or without medical supervision.

When patients bring our concerns about sexual functioning while on antidepressants to our health care providers, they are almost universally told that their sexuality will return to normal after tapering off the drug. Unfortunately, recent data has emerged showing that this is not always true. Some people continue to experience sexual dysfunction for weeks, months, or years after stopping the medication. Sometimes, these symptoms emerge only after tapering off the medication.

For an unfortunate minority, a total elimination of sexual drive persists indefinitely. They may have severe or total loss of erotic sensation in our genitals, sometimes to the point of tactile numbness.

The effects of losing my sexuality have been absolutely devastating to my relationships and mental health. I have been robbed of an essential aspect of my humanity.

EMILY, AGE 24, PSSD 2 YEARS

A growing movement of people across the globe are trying to raise awareness about a seldom discussed topic: youth sexual dysfunction and its ties to these popular medications. Sexual issues such as low libido and erectile dysfunction are not unusual for those over the age of 40, but many young people may not know that they could possibly run into these physical health issues if they are prescribed meds to treat mental health issues.

The brain chemical mechanism that many of these drugs use to prevent low emotions may also have the side effect of killing the joy of not just sexual relations, but also of human experience joys such as music and artwork.

In addition to the loss of libido and sexual sensation (numbness of genitalia and other erogenous zones), my general sensitivity to the pleasure of touch has declined. A caress on bare skin registers as little more than pressure…. There is a feeling of numbness, as if there is some kind of barrier between my skin and the source of contact.

White House’s secret bird flu scare

Biden admin fears H5N1 could start next PANDEMIC after being briefed last week that a Texan farmer had caught virus from a COW

• Patient was working with dairy cows in the state also thought to be infected
• Individual suffered an eye infection, but had no other symptoms

The signs have been there for years . . .

REMEMBER… October 2022, The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with WHO and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, conducted a tabletop Catastrophic Contagion exercise at the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting in Brussels, Belgium.

DID YOU KNOW IN December 2022– The $1.7 Trillion dollar omnibus bill included $335 Billion dollars for an “influenza pandemic” which included the use of “Surveillance Tools.” How in the heck did they know?

It’s not just a 3rd world problem. Parasites and parasitic infections are common in humans, affecting millions of people worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 25% of the global population has an intestinal parasite infection, and in tropical and subtropical areas with limited access to sanitation and clean water, that number can be as high as 50%. In the United States, the CDC says that over 60 million people are infected with parasites.

Healthy Living - Antibiotic Dangers

By Andi and Brian Hale

https://diggingdeeper.net/2024/03/29/healthy-living-antibiotic-dangers/

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.

 

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.

How barometric pressure effects your health

Time for a quick science lesson! Barometric pressure is the amount of atmospheric pressure around the Earth. It’s a measure of the weight of the air that presses down on the earth and the barometric air pressure changes with weather or at different altitudes.

When we are wanting something cold and sweet, we often reach for an ice cream bar. But those who are on a diet feel guilty because it’s deemed unhealthy. So what’s the solution?

How many adults do you know that get up in the morning and the first thing they have is a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee, the traditional breakfast fluids? First thing in the morning, you’re thirsty and you’re trying to hydrate. But neither of these fluids will adequately hydrate your body.

Water alone will supply what the body needs. But did you know that water needs help to get into your cells?

There are 4 vital elements needed for life:

• OXYGEN
• WATER
• SODIUM
• POTASSIUM

Around the outside of every cell wall are sodium potassium pumps that maintain the balance of water in and out of the cell. This means that a no sodium diet is actually harmful to your body because it decreases hydration.

But what if you are retaining water? Won’t more water just make it worse? Listen to Barbara O’Neill describe how to fix it with more water.

So, we need to make sure we have the proper minerals in our diet, as well as sufficent amout of water daily.

Drink Plenty of Water

How much water should you drink a day? You probably know that it’s important to drink plenty of fluids when the temperatures soar outside. But staying hydrated is a daily necessity, no matter what the thermometer says. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t getting enough to drink, especially older adults.

It has been said that the we have become so used to being dehydrated in America that most of us mistake dehydration for hunger. This has contributed to our overweight population. this is one reason that almost every diet plan includes the instruction to drink a glass of water before every meal.

Water keeps every system in the body functioning properly. The Harvard Medical School Special Health Report 6-Week Plan for Health Eating notes that water has many important jobs, such as:

• carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
• flushing bacteria from your bladder
• aiding digestion
• preventing constipation
• normalizing blood pressure
• cushioning joints
• protecting organs and tissues
• regulating body temperature
• maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance.

Giving your body enough fluids to carry out those tasks means that you’re staying hydrated.

If you don’t drink enough water each day, you risk becoming dehydrated.

Signs of Dehydration

Have you heard the phrase “Drink right, pee white”? Well it’s true. Your urine can be an indicator if you’re dehydrated. If it’s colorless or light yellow, you’re well hydrated. If your urine is a dark yellow or amber color, you are probably dehydrated.

There are other signs that can signal you may be dehydrated. They include:

• Little or no urine.
• Urine that is darker than usual.
• Dry mouth.
• Sleepiness or fatigue.
• Extreme thirst.
• Headache.
• Confusion.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness.
• No tears when crying.

How much water should I drink?

Doctors say that fluid intake varies by age, gender and from one person to another. But a good solid rule is drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces every day throughout the day. This is pure water, coffee, tea and other flavored liquids are not nearly as effective.

The first and most important rule is to maintain the body’s water balance throughout the day — it is important to drink water all day long, starting from immediately on waking up, and about 30 minutes before each meal rather than with the food. With the onset of summer heat, people are recommended to drink around one-and-a-half times the recommended minimum to compensate for liquid lost through perspiration, preferably cool plain water, rather than hot drinks.

If you are expecting to be out in the heat more than usual, think ahead and drink more water for 2-3 days prior to the outing. This will help your body adjust to the change easier.

Mushroom steak, mushroom coffee, mushroom supplements . . . You can’t walk more than a few aisles in the grocery store these days without running into some kind of new mushroom product. Fresh white button mushrooms are increasingly joined by specialty varieties like lion’s mane, maitake or oyster mushrooms. There’s sparkling cordyceps tea and chaga coffee boasting a range of health benefits, mushroom chips and even chocolate bars infused with reishi.

Well, mushrooms are pretty magical. They’re a hearty, umami-rich meat substitute. They’re a generous source of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. And they can grow on waste materials.

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!

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.

I am betting this is not what you thought it was gonna be... This really is an eye-opening, education presentation on why the health of the world has been on the decline rapidly since 1960 or so. LISTEN IN!

Dr. Nicole Apellian is a nutritional expert on plant medicine. Listen in on some great advice and be sure to support her and her work.

We should all be talking about Vitamin D more than we are. Research shows that a Vitamin D deficiency can be deadly, especially since very few foods contain the amount that we need on a daily basis, and not everyone can get the sunshine they need in a lockdown state of mind.

Colloidal Silver Kills 650 Different Infections Colloidal silver is said by some to be one of the most powerful agents of cure on earth. According to a study at UCLA Medical center in the 1980’s, colloidal silver was able to kill 650 various disease-related pathogens. And they were destroyed in mere minutes. The benefit embraced by many in the medical and alternative health community is that colloidal silver doesn’t seem to build any immunity or resistance within the organisms which it destroys. That flies in the face of our modern ongoing antibiotic travesty. Many people have taken it to help with cold and flu symptoms. Colloidal silver is also known help boost skin health and potentially heal wounds. It is often used on ringworm. It is used to help control pink eye, which is an illness that swells the mucous membrane surrounding the eyeball. It is antiviral and has been known to treat herpes, shingles, and even warts. Yet another way to stay healthy, increase your immunity and feel better.

Let's take a moment to learn more about collagen as we listen to this podcast with Andi and Brian Hale with special Guest World Champion Martial Artist Shihan Bivins! Also, we are examining this photo as a representation of collagen. What do you think? Does this photo represent Collagen well? Any chemists out there willing to comment?

PETROLEUM BASED SNACKS CAN AGGRAVATE ADHD, NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD, AND KIDNEY DAMAGE Are you unknowingly giving your child petroleum-based snacks? Most companies market unhealthy products that contain cancer causing artificial ingredients to petroleum directly to children. These ingredients can cause all kinds of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and hyperactivity and/or ADHD. Lets take a closer look at petroleum. 👀 Petroleum is the same ingredient that is used for oil and gas. The FDA has admitted that ingestion is typically under the “concern threshold.” Well, I am not letting my child or myself ingest this nor do I trust their “concern threshold.” Why is any amount of petroleum good? If you see Yellow 5 and Red 40 as part of the ingredients, chances are these are made from petroleum. They’ve been found to cause hyperactivity in children, cancer, allergic reactions. headaches, hypersensitivity, obesity, ADD/ADHD, chromosomal damage, hives, asthma, diabetes, eczema, insomnia. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 TOP 4 POPULAR CHILDREN’S SNACKS MADE WITH CANCER CAUSING PETROLEUM PRODUCTS 🚨 1. POP TARTS Made with “real fruit” The fruity Pop-Tarts are marketed as being made with “real fruit,” but its ingredients list shows that there’s only 10% of fruit inside each pop tart. The rest comes from toxic ingredients like GMOs, artificial colors and sugar. The other harmful ingredient is TBHQ which is made from petroleum causing cellular dysfunction. 2. FRUIT SNACKS “Fat Free” and “real fruit” By look at the packaging of fruit snacks, one might think these are healthy. In fact, they even state “Fat Free” and “Made with real fruit”. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. They are loaded with GMO sugar and contain Red 3 artificial dye. Red 3 is a petroleum products, commonly used food coloring, also known as E127 or Erythrosine. Y 3. M&M’S Bright colors are linked to toxic dyes. Did you know that these colorful little candies have been scientifically linked to hyperactivity and diabetes in children. These bright colors are made from dangerous and very toxic artificial dyes. Blue #2, Blue #1, Yellow #5, Red #40 are all petroleum based products that showed to cause brain tumors in lab rats and other abnormal cell development. 4. CHEETOS. Yellow 6 comes from petroleum. Cheetos are loaded with petroleum based ingredients such as methyl benzoate and ethyl methylphenylglicidate. Additionally, the artificial dye Yellow 6 is responsible for that yellow bright color.

A migraine is a neurological disease, and is much more than just a headache, with symptoms that include nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and increased sensitivity to sound, light, or smells. If you think you may be suffering from migraines, be sure to see your primary care doctor or a specialist who can appropriately diagnose you and rule out any other causes. Here are several home remedies to help treat some of the symptoms of migraines. 1. Add magnesium Adding a magnesium supplement to your diet, in doses of 400 to 500 milligrams a day, can help prevent migraines according to the American Migraine Foundation. The supplement may avert the occurrence of aura, a type of sensory disturbance, as well as light and noise sensitivity. 2. Take vitamin B2 A small 2015 study found that 400 milligrams of vitamin B2 daily reduced the frequency and severity of migraines with minimal side effects compared to sodium valproate. 3. Have caffeine Some studies have found that caffeine may help treat migraines. However, a 2019 review found that chronic caffeine intake seemed to increase the chance of migraines — in particular, the Cleveland Clinic recommends limiting yourself to 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine daily. 4. Use hot or cold remedies Applying heat or cold can help relieve migraines, according to the Mayo Clinic. When applied at the onset of a migraine, a frozen neck wrap significantly reduced pain, according to a small 2013 study. Placing a heating pad on your head or neck may also help to relax your muscles, which can relieve tension and the migraine itself. 5. Avoid light Since migraines increase sensitivity to light and sound, the Mayo Clinic recommends relaxing in a dark and quiet room. Try to sleep if you can. 6. Exercise regularly Exercising regularly can help reduce the risk of migraines by reducing anxiety, depression, and obesity, according to the Mayo Clinic. Check with your doctor to see what types of exercises they recommend and how often. 7. Get more sleep Sleeping well is essential if you suffer from migraines, since a lack of sleep can trigger an attack. Good sleep quality comes with going to bed at the same time every night, waking up at the same time every morning, and having a quiet and comfortable sleep space. 8. Consider peppermint oil A 2010 study found that the menthol in peppermint is a safe and effective treatment for migraines without aura. Apply to the forehead and temples at the first sign of a migraine. 9. Take melatonin Melatonin is a hormone that helps with your circadian rhythm, making you feel tired at night and more awake during the day. A 2010 study found that migraine patients had abnormally low levels of melatonin. The research suggests that taking a melatonin supplement — up to 3 mg per day — could help with migraines. Common migraine triggers Keep a migraine journal to determine what your triggers are so you can avoid them. When you get a migraine, jot down the date, time, what you were doing, your symptoms, anything you ate, and how you’ve been sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic, common migraine triggers include: Menstruation Pregnancy Menopause Alcohol Too much caffeine Stress Bright lights Loud noises Strong smells Lack of sleep Jet lag Intense physical exertion Sexual activity Weather changes Certain medications such as oral contraceptives, nitroglycerin, and vasodilators Skipping meals Salty or processed foods Aged cheeses Food additives like MSG and aspartame What Foods are Good for Headache Relief? 1. Leafy greens leafy greens are good for headache relief Leafy greens contain a variety of elements that contribute to headache relief. For example, research has shown taking magnesium can reduce migraine pain because many migraine sufferers have low magnesium levels. The Journal of Headache and Pain reported a study that found a combination of folic acid, B6, and B12 reduced migraine symptoms. The National Headache Foundation reported on a European study that found vitamin B2 could reduce migraine frequency. Following are some of the leafy greens that contain all of these elements and a variety of other anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Kale Spinach Collard greens Turnip greens Broccoli 2. Nuts nuts Nuts are rich in magnesium, which soothes headache pain by relaxing blood vessels. They also contain a significant amount of vitamin E that research has shown can help control migraines with aura and migraines triggered by hormonal fluctuations. For some people experiencing a headache, immediate relief is found by eating a handful of almonds or other nuts. Almonds Walnuts Cashew nuts Brazil nuts 3. Fatty fish fatty fish Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are anti-inflammatory foods. They contain B vitamins, including riboflavin (B2), which has been shown to help manage migraine attacks. Research also found that salmon contains coenzyme Q10 and vitamin D, which combined provided migraine relief. Salmon Cod Mackerel Halibut 4. Fruits fruits Some fruits are rich in magnesium and potassium. Research is continuing, but some studies suggest potassium may help alleviate migraine pain by contributing to healthier nerve functioning. Bananas are good for headaches because they deliver a dose of potassium, magnesium, B vitamins, and complex carbohydrates, all of which contribute to reducing headache pain. If a headache is due to dehydration, the fruits containing high water content can combat headache pain. Apricots Avocados Bananas Figs Raspberries Melon Cantaloupe Watermelon Honeydew 5. Seeds seeds The following list of seeds contains omega-3 fatty acids which fight inflammation. They also contain significant amounts of magnesium, which may help prevent blood vessel spasms. Medical research continues to explore blood vessel spasms due to constricted blood vessels as a possible migraine trigger. Poppy seeds Sesame seeds Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds (without natural flavors) Chia seeds 6. Whole grains whole grains Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates, and they work to increase glycogen stores in the brain. They help relieve headache pain because low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can trigger headaches. One study found a correlation between iron deficiency anemia and migraines in women. Whole grains provide a wealth of nutrients that include vitamin E, B vitamins, iron, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, and fiber. Quinoa Barley Buckwheat Bulgur Whole oats Whole grain bread 7. Legumes legumes Legumes contain protein and fiber that help maintain blood sugar levels and magnesium and potassium to relieve blood vessel constrictions. Legumes also supply coenzyme Q10, which may, per a study, reduce the number of days a migraine lasts. All of these nutrients can help relieve headache pain. Lentils Beans Peas Soybeans Chickpeas 8. Hot peppers hot peppers Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which numbs the brain’s trigeminal nerve and inhibits the neurotransmitter responsible for causing migraine pain. They may also relieve cluster, tension, and other headaches. Besides, eating hot peppers can help open up clogged sinuses, causing a sinus headache. Hot peppers also contain vitamins C, A, B, and E. Jalapenos Habaneros Cayenne Anaheim 9. Small amount of coffee or tea tea One or two cups of coffee or tea each day may provide headache relief, especially if it is a headache triggered by a lack of caffeine. Caffeine can decrease the size of blood vessels, enabling better blood flow. The key is to find a balance and not consume too much caffeine. Too much caffeine can trigger a headache. 10. Ginger ginger Ginger contains a natural oil with chemical compounds important to helping headache sufferers find relief. It increases the chemical messenger serotonin, and that reduces inflammation. A medical research study on ginger powder found it significantly decreased headache severity in patients with acute migraines without aura. Ginger spice Ginger powder Ginger tea Ginger supplement 11. Chocolate chocolate Dark chocolate that is at least 70 percent cacao contains a high amount of magnesium and riboflavin. Both nutrients help manage migraines by assisting with the relaxation of blood vessels. A medical study also found that people who intake a higher amount of tryptophan (a serotonin precursor) daily reduced their odds of developing a migraine by 54-60 percent. Chocolate contains tryptophan and serotonin. (PMID: 32110888) 12. Beets Beets are rich in nutrients like manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid Beets are rich in nutrients like manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid. Studies showed that migraine patients who consumed 2 mg of folic acid, along with vitamins B12 and B6, experienced better results in reducing their migraine symptoms compared to those who received only 1 mg of folic acid with the same vitamins. This suggests that the folic acid content in beets could potentially contribute to managing migraine symptoms. 13. Mushrooms Mushrooms may help with migraines and headaches due to their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties Mushrooms may help with migraines and headaches due to their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some studies suggested that certain compounds found

Tinnitus is not considered to be a disease but is a reflection of something being in one’s ear and brain. It could be due to:

• Hearing loss
• Trauma to the hearing apparatus
• Certain drugs such as aspirin and quinine
• Brain tumor
• Meniere’s disease
• Infection, fluid in the middle ear
• Exposure to loud noise
• Aneurysms
• Allergies

Ringing in one’s ear can be due to simple blockage of the ear canal or various ear conditions, infections, otosclerosis or Eustachian tube blockage caused due to allergy or virus.There are many toxic causes of tinnitus, such as heavy metal poisoning, alcohol, antibiotics, quinine, and especially aspirin.Other causes:

• Arteriosclerosis
• High blood pressure
• Anemia
• Hypothyroidism
• Nerve injury due to noises or pressure
• Various diseases of the nervous system

Suggested Supplements Ginkgo biloba is an herbal supplement used to treat a number of conditions, including tinnitus. Among homeopathic remedies, it’s one of the most widely studied. A small 2023 study found that ginkgo biloba, when used in combination with antioxidants, helped improve tinnitus symptoms across several measurement scales.Zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are popular options in homeopathy for tinnitus, and these treatments for tinnitus all have one thing in common. For each of these, preliminary research suggests they may improve tinnitus symptoms if you have a deficiency underlying your condition.If you have a hard time falling assleep because of your tinnitus, try some melatonin. A 2023 survey report found the majority of people who lived with tinnitus reported that cannabis eased their symptoms. Specific Homeopathic remedies:1. Chininum sulphuricum (Chin-EE-num sul-fur-icum)This helps treat ringing in the ears and also deafness as well as Meniere’s disease. It is beneficial for humming in one’s ears. Roaring in the ears during the nights can also be treated by his medication. The patient may suffer from chillness or vertigo during which time the tinnitus can be treated.2. Natrum salicylicum (Nat-rum sal-i-SIL-i-cum)This is good for severe headache, ringing in the ears, deafness, and impairment of vision for distant objects. It is useful for vertigo, noises in the ears with loss of bone conduction, and therefore useful for Meniere’s disease. It can be used for prostration after influenza.3. BelladonnaThis can be made use for treating wind rushes out of one’s ears, pulsation in one’s ears, and also for the hardness of hearing. 4. Salicylicum AcidumThis is useful for vertigo, tendency to fall to the left side, and surrounding objects falling to one’s right side for headaches ad Meniere’s disease. Simple deafness due to tinnitus can also be cured by this medication. Other health issues such as roaring in the ears, deafness due to vertigo can be treated. 5. GraphitesThis medication helps treat hissing, ringing, roaring or clucking sounds in one’s ears. Acute pressure in the inner ear can also be treated.6. LycopodiumThis helps cure the over-sensitiveness of hearing. It also helps treat roaring, humming as well as whizzing in one’s ears.7. Calcarea carbonicaThis can be used for treating hardness of hearing, singing, and roaring or crackling sounds in one’s ears. This helps cure pulsating in the ears as well as purulent, offensive discharge from the ears.

Throwback to the Good Ol’ Days Do you remember when life was simple, and our imaginations ran wild? Remember those carefree days of being 70’s and 80’s kids? We were the masters of adventure, the champions of outdoor exploration, and the true aficionados of making the most out of every moment! Back in the day, our trusty bicycles were our ticket to freedom. No GPS, just pure instinct leading the way! Who could forget the ultimate hydration experience of sipping straight from the garden hose? It was cold, refreshing and quick so we could get back to playing. The taste of adventure, right there! Street lights were our timekeepers, and we knew it was time to head home when they flickered to life. And let’s talk about those ancient artifacts known as landline phones! They allowed us to chat with friends, while twisting the phone cord around our fingers in a rhythmic dance. No smartphones or tablets, just a world of imagination waiting to be explored. We built forts out of blankets, turned cardboard boxes into spaceships, and climbed trees until we reached the clouds. Our playground was vast, limited only by our creativity. So, fellow time-travelers, let’s raise a glass of nostalgic lemonade to those incredible days of being 70’s and 80’s kids. We were the pioneers of an era defined by real connections, outdoor escapades, and the pure joy of simple pleasures. The world has changed, but our memories remain etched in the sepia-toned pages of time. Here’s to us, the kids who truly knew how to make the most of an analog world! What are the dangers of EMF? According to the NIH, it has been found that RF-EMF can induce changes in central nervous system nerve cells, including neuronal cell apoptosis, changes in the function of the nerve myelin and ion channels; furthermore, RF-EMF act as a stress source in living creatures. A thorough report about 5G exposure has found that “this newfound radiation source is damaging the health of creatures that live in the wild.”The 150-page report, compiled by researchers at the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University, contains three sections.

• – the first focuses on how environmental EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) have radically increased in recent years;
• – the second part looked at how living organisms are impacted by these EMFs;
• – the third section focuses on EMF exposure limits and the prospect of new regulations to help better protect living beings against the harm caused by this constant flood of non-ionizing radiation.

“This eloquent review gives insight into missed opportunities for cancer prevention exemplified by asbestos, tobacco, certain pesticides and now RF (radiofrequency) radiation,” said a spokesperson from the Environmental Health Trust (EHT).

Learn how to breathe. It's possibly the most important thing you'll ever need. The Biden administration is planning more mandates, forced masking, and draconian lockdowns to bankrupt American businesses. What should we do? How do we stop it? DO NOT COMPLY Listen in for tips on how to stay alive and healthy

We are surrounded by EMFs these days. The radiation is everywhere – in our computers, in our homes, in our cell phones, and in towers in our neighborhoods. EMF has certainly been linked to many negative health effects: headaches, cancer, fertility problems and neurological damage. LISTEN in for ways to protect yourself!

What has happened to the nutritional value of foods lately? Listen in to find out why.

Our bodies don’t need aluminum to survive. So how many health issues are related to large doses of aluminum? Think of all the things in your life that contain the soft, silvery metal aluminum. The thirteenth element on the periodic table is a light, durable material that has plenty of commercial applications, and you can find it in everything from that roll of aluminum foil in the kitchen and cooking pots to antacid tablets and personal products such as deodorant.Though it’s one of the most widely distributed metals in the environment, it’s not a nutritive mineral, meaning that unlike calcium or sodium, our bodies don’t need aluminum to survive. In fact, in very large doses aluminum can become toxic, and therein lies a concern about how it may have a negative effect on the brain.We know that they use aluminum as a binder in vaccines so they stick in the body. This fact leads me to believe that aluminum continues to build in our bodies throughout our lives, making the risk of high doses of aluminum exponentially increase with age. So how many health issues are related to large doses of aluminum?Aluminum and AlzheimersFor years, aluminum has been suspected as potentially playing a role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, but conclusive evidence has been difficult to find.Dr. Douglas Scharre, a neurologist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, says, “I think that what is pretty well established is that if you have too much aluminum in your brain, that’s not healthy. Aluminum can be a neurotoxin, and if you ingest it or get it into your brain, it can cause a dementia-like condition.” “There have been some large studies which show individuals with higher and chronic aluminum exposure in drinking water and especially occupational exposure were more likely to develop Alzheimer’s. However, there are other studies which show no association and further, it is unclear exactly how this research translates into risk for the average person.” Alex Mroszczyk-McDonald, a practicing family physician with Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center in Fontana, California.Aluminum and Autisim & AsthmaA new study funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms that aluminum compounds found in childhood vaccines are linked to an array of illnesses, including neurological disorders, asthma, and the Big A: autism.Though the study’s authors tried their best to minimize the link, they were unable to sidestep a “positive association” between “vaccine-related aluminum exposure” and “persistent asthma” in children aged 24-59 months. Overall, children in the study who received 3 milligrams (mg) or more of vaccine-related aluminum had a 36 percent higher risk than children who took other vaccines to develop persistent asthma.“In the paper I did with Neil Miller (SAGE Open Medicine, 2020), we saw an odds ratio of 4.49 (statistically significant) for asthma in vaccinated children versus unvaccinated children. This was limited to vaccines in the first year of life. The CDC seems to be confirming my results here.”Aluminum and Breast CancerLiz PevytoeAs a nurse and the daughter of a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, this is a topic I’m very passionate about. I’ll take moist pits over breast cancer. Not stinky but sweaty.What would your children choose? To see their momma sweat or go through chemo?Wake up and quit putting a METAL on your pits. #duh.Fun fact: I sweat less now using deodorant only than I did when I used antiperspirant. Go figure. I think my body was overproducing sweat trying to get the aluminum out.Why Use Natural Deodorant Have you seen what is in conventional deodorant? Likely you’ve glanced at the bottom at least once in your life and seen a list of ingredients that appear to be written in a different language. But did you know that many of these ingredients can be incredibly harmful for your body?Let’s go through a couple of them:–aluminum: this is the ingredient that clogs your sweat glands and prevents sweating (more on this below). Aluminum exposure has been linked to Alzheimers as well as to build-up of estrogen in the body which can also be correlated with increased chances of breast and prostate cancer.–parabens: these ingredients are used as a preservative in deodorants but can also mimic estrogen in your body. This leads to hormonal disruptions and is also linked to breast and prostate cancers.–phthalates: these chemicals are used to make other ingredients more flexible and are also used as fragrance ingredients for artificial fragrance. They primarily affect the endocrine system and exposure can lead to early onset puberty as well as breast cancer later in life.-Triclosan: An antibacterial chemical that can also disrupt the hormone system and is associated with increased chance of breast cancer. It was actually banned by the FDA in hand soaps but for some reason they still allow it in deodorants?!Aluminum-Containing Antiperspirants and Breast Cancer Risk: A Case-Control Study

Managing Depression featuring Pastor Bob McCartney and Tom MacDonald By Brian Hale October is Depression Education and Awareness Month Depression is much like the words’ mental health or suicide; it carries a stigma that sometimes gets in the way of a person getting help. The good news is that stigma is fading with increased awareness about mental health and further understanding depression. In fact, depression actually comes in several forms. You should never be embarrassed or down on yourself if you are feeling this way. I think most of us, maybe all of us, have been afflicted with situational depression at one point in our life.And that, my friend, I believe, is the really good news! Situational means temporary, and temporary means this too shall pass. Pastor Bob McCartney from First Baptist Church Wichita Falls did an excellent job on Sunday explaining the differences, and offered some solutions.If anyone is interested, we have a special tab above for Sermon Series. For now, here’s the clip we are referencing. You noticed that one of the solutions was to surround yourself with others. Never attempt to do it alone. Here’s a friend of ours with a spoken word about this topic, and then we’ll hear some music from him as well. Here’s Tom MacDonald. With mental health, there can be many highs and lows. And sometimes you just have to put on paper or into music. Just what you’re feeling, at least that’s what Tom does.Here’s a powerful statement about those thoughts that go through your head when you’re in recovery, but still having doubts. But Tom is a fighter who has now helped hundreds of others with the struggles of depression. If you are struggling with depression in any form please seek out a friend or someone you trust. The national suicide hotline is 988. You are not alone. We will be praying for you.

Is Vegetable Oil good or bad? Let's dig in... The consumption of vegetable oils increased drastically in the last century. While some vegetable oils have been linked to health benefits, there are concerns about the excessive intake of omega-6. It’s important to note that not all plant oils are bad for your health. For example, avocado oil and olive oil are both excellent choices. Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, meaning that you need some of them in your diet because your body can’t produce them. Some vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids. Scientists have hypothesized that eating too much omega-6 can lead to increased inflammation in the body and potentially contribute to disease.The top four vegetable oils consumed in the United States are soybean, canola, palm, and corn oil. These are referred to as refined, bleached, deodorized oils – or RBD for short – because this describes the process by which they are manufactured.Most canola is chemically extracted using a solvent called hexane, and heat is often applied which can affect the stability of the oil’s molecules, turn it rancid, destroy the omega-3s in it, and can even create trans fats. Consumption of industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFAs) is a well-established health risk factor that correlates with the increased risk of developing all sorts of chronic diseases, including heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes. One of the most suprising facts I found was what happens during commercial deep-fat frying operations with canola oil. Canola oil used to fry French fries for seven hours per day for seven days at 185°C (365°F) resulted in increasing the total trans-fatty acid content of the oil from 2.4% to 3.3% by weight of total fat.

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in your body. Many people think that cholesterol is harmful, but the truth is that it’s essential for your body to function. Cholesterol contributes to the membrane structure of every cell in your body.

Welcome to Healthy Living with Andi and Brian Hale! On this episode of Healthy Living, we explore both accidental and intentional use of microplastics in our diet. No, I’m not talking about perfectionism, I’m referring to their genetic makeup, their DNA so to speak. Ken and Barbie are made primarily of plastic and it is becoming clear that we are also being riddled with this same foreign substance. Microplastics refer to plastic debris that is less than five millimeters, or about the size of a sesame seed. Most microplastics are sorted into two categories based on how they form: primary microplastics and secondary microplastics. Watch Live Friday Nights on Rumble 9-11 pm cst www.diggingdeepertv.com

Flouride has been added to public drinking water since 1945 in an “attempt to decrease tooth decay”. But does it really help our dental health? Fluoride’s Effects on the Formation of Teeth and Bones Excessive systemic exposure to fluorides can lead to disturbances of bone homeostasis (skeletal fluorosis) and enamel development (dental/enamel fluorosis). The severity of dental fluorosis is also dependent upon fluoride dose and the timing and duration of fluoride exposure. Fluoride’s actions on bone cells predominate as anabolic effects both in vitro and in vivo. More recently, fluoride has been shown to induce osteoclastogenesis in mice. Osteoclastogenesis is defined as the development of osteoclasts, bone cells that breaks down bone tissue. So if flouride isn’t helpful in preventing cavities, and actually causes enamel damage, then why have they been touting it as a healthy thing? Here is a little background into the where the flouride in our water comes from. Toxicity of fluoride: critical evaluation of evidence for human developmental neurotoxicity in epidemiological studies (May 8, 2020)Epidemiological studies have suggested that fluoride is a human developmental neurotoxicant that reduces measures of intelligence in children, placing it into the same category as toxic metals (lead, methylmercury, arsenic) and polychlorinated biphenyls. If true, this assessment would be highly relevant considering the widespread fluoridation of drinking water and the worldwide use of fluoride in oral hygiene products such as toothpaste. The Use of the Neurotoxin Fluoride for Influencing Brain Function Only 2% of Europe fluoridates water. Fluoride is banned in China, where studies on large populations showed an I.Q. decrease. Parts of Canada have also banned it, as well as Japan and Israel. The world’s oldest and most prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, classified fluoride as a neurotoxin and placed it in the same dangerous category as arsenic, lead and mercury. Results continually showed that higher prenatal fluoride exposure was linked to lower scores on tests of cognitive function in children at age 4 and then again between ages 6 and 12.Fluoride can accumulate and calcify on the pineal gland, blocking its effectiveness, and these deposits can get worse as we age. A blocked pineal gland could lead to things like trouble sleeping or weight gain. One study even suggests toxic calcification could lead to early onset of puberty in girls.Yet another study links water fluoridation to higher ADHD rates. In a governmental report from May 2022 states “The consistency of the data supports an inverse association between flouride association and IQ”. That means that as flouride exposure increases, IQ decreases in the developing brain. Flouride causes neurological damage, thus the name Smartwater.Stop drinking WATER with Flouride Recommend: Smart Water: yeah 3$ a bottle but can you put a price on living longer then the next guy. pic.twitter.com/L4fJLEdleD— Chad (@_Chad_Ellinger_) November 3, 2023

Many still believe that vaccine injuries are rare and only happen to others, but have you seen these stories? The life of Melody Rain Palombi-Malmgren, a vibrant 15-month-old girl, abruptly ended following routine vaccinations. Her mother – devastated – links the tragedy to the vaccines. Here’s what unfolded:

• Melody was administered three vaccines: varicella, DTaP, and Hib.
• She had a history of severe reactions to previous vaccinations.
• Hospital records revealed that Melody suffered liver and kidney failure, along with cardiac arrest, leading to her untimely death.

Pilots Warns of Airline Industry Disaster Due to COVID-19 VaccinesCaptain Shane Murdock, a pilot for more than 40 years, has found official data that back up his claim of impending global catastrophe:

• There was a 272% rise in mayday calls in 2022, with a 386% surge in early 2023.
• There was also an unprecedented 126% increase in flight restrictions due to medical limitations.
