ME: Can you show me a chart of the rise of juvenile diabetes from its first discovery?

Here’s what the research tells us. Type 1 diabetes (the autoimmune form, historically called “juvenile diabetes”) was described in ancient medical texts but was essentially a fatal diagnosis before insulin’s discovery in 1921–1922.

The incidence was low and fairly stable through the early 20th century, with one carefully performed study showing no meaningful change in childhood incidence from 1925 to 1955. Diabetes Journals Then things started shifting — an almost simultaneous upturn was documented in several countries around mid-century, and the overall pattern since then has been one of linear increase.

I started first grade in 1960. As a child through college, the only people I knew with diabetes were old, and few and far between. One friend of my parents in my hometown had diabetes. From grade school through college, I didn’t know anyone with JD or autism or obesity or cancer. There was maybe one kid with glasses until I got to college.

Back in 2009 or so, when my cousin’s daughter developed JD, I went on my first hunt. We were living in Costa Rica (2006-2011) and the internet was alive with information! Hal and I spent hours online searching things we had questions about. In the vaccine groups, everyone believed vaccines caused JD just like autism because that’s when it happened: healthy kid, vaxxed, then JD. It’s actually listed on the MMR insert as an adverse event. Correlated because no one thought to study whether it was actually causation. (Don’t get me started.)

Here’s the data charted from what we know historically through the most recent figures:

A few key things to note about this picture:

Before 1922, type 1 diabetes was essentially a death sentence for children — there were no survivable cases to track. The discovery of insulin by Banting and Best in 1921–22 is what made the disease visible as a population-level phenomenon.

Banting and Best patented their product, then sold it to their university for $1 so everyone who needed it would have access to it. Eventually, however, Eli Lilly, Sanofi and Novo Nordisk got the patent and went for profits over people. Insulin costs/dose is roughly $6.

These companies have been able to extend their monopoly protection by “evergreening” which means they make incremental modifications to the product which keeps it protected under the patent.

The mid-century upturn is one of the more mysterious aspects of this story. An almost simultaneous rise was documented in several countries around mid-century, and the overall pattern since has been one of linear increase — with some evidence of a plateau in very high-incidence populations. Diabetes Journals

The modern acceleration: between 2001 and 2017, the estimated prevalence of type 1 diabetes in U.S. youth increased by 45%, with the largest increases among non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black youth. The annual incidence among youth under 20 was 22.2 per 100,000 in 2017–2018, representing a steady ~2% annual increase since 2002. NCBI

Nobody knows for certain why it keeps rising. Researchers suggest an increased contribution from unidentified environmental or behavioral factors — dietary, infectious, or psychosocial — since the genetic risk profile of diagnosed children has actually shifted over time. The “hygiene hypothesis,” early childhood gut microbiome changes, and various environmental exposures are all active areas of research. New England Journal of Medicine

Poor Claude. Trained by conventional medicine so “nobody knows why”. We need an AI that is able to access ALL the info, not just what conventional doctors say.

ME: To what do scientists and doctors ascribe the rise?

The honest answer is: no one knows for certain, and that’s one of the more frustrating aspects of this disease. The rise is real and documented globally, but the cause remains contested. There is broad consensus that genetics alone can’t explain it — the human gene pool doesn’t change fast enough to account for a decades-long trend. [Emphasis mine.] So the search has focused on environmental triggers acting on a genetically susceptible population.

Here are the leading theories, ranked roughly by how much scientific support they currently carry:

The hygiene hypothesis is probably the most cited explanation. It’s considered the most promising theory, with supporting evidence from animal, human, and epidemiological studies. Journal of Molecular Endocrinology The basic idea is that as societies become cleaner and children are exposed to fewer pathogens, bacteria, and parasites early in life, the immune system — deprived of its natural “training” — becomes dysregulated and turns on the body’s own tissues, including pancreatic beta cells. Rates of type 1 diabetes are notably higher in wealthy, industrialized nations.

I seriously doubt that washing your hands too much can result in diabetes. OTOH, I’m fully on board with the theory that kids oughta be eating more dirt to bolster their immune systems.

Viral infections are a long-suspected trigger. Enteroviruses (especially Coxsackievirus B) have been found in the pancreatic tissue of newly diagnosed patients. The viruses may directly damage beta cells or, more likely, trigger an autoimmune response that does. Viral infections, diet, gut microbiota, and adiposity are all considered additional nongenetic factors likely involved in development of the disease, each capable of influencing induction of the disease process, activation of the destructive immune response, and progression to clinical-stage disease. Diabetes Journals

I am no longer on the “viruses cause illness” train. I RESISTED THIS IDEA WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!!! Alas, I am too curious. I started reading and eventually, I could not deny the facts of what I was learning.

Here are two illuminating resources on the truth about viruses. First is the book “The Truth About Contagion” by Dr. Thomas Cowan and Sally Fallon Morrell. Also available on Amazon.

I am an Amazon affiliate since 2009, but this book has been excluded from the program! I can promote it but I can’t make the commission pennies. I have never seen that exclusion before. Obvious censorship. It also could not be listed on Amazon under its original title, “The Contagion Myth” so Sally and Tom had to change it. To me, this says the ideas must be over the target.

The second resource is this interview from The Highwire with Alec Zeck and Dr. Ben Tapper. Alec and Ben are among the most vocal and educated experts on the virus topic. It’s a 2-hour listen, I listened at 1.5x and understood every word. If you want a relatively quick dive into an extremely deep topic, you’ll get it here.

Once the “virus obfuscation” is off the table, the REAL causes of illness and the real cures can be uncovered.

COVID-19 as an accelerant has emerged as a newer and concerning finding. A 2023 review in JAMA Network Open covering 17 studies and more than 38,000 children found that type 1 diabetes incidence was 14% higher in the first year of the pandemic and 27% higher in the second year compared to pre-COVID rates. A subsequent CDC study also found that children under 18 were more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes in the 30 days after testing positive for COVID than kids who hadn’t had it. HealthCentral

We now know that C19 was just a flu, no more or less dangerous than any other flu. So it’s hard to believe there’s even a correlation between having C19 and JD. Is there a correlation between regular flu and JD? Claude says there’s no significant signal. I’d need to really dive into this. One day I will.

In the recent study on the health outcomes of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed children, zero unvaxxed children developed diabetes. Read the study here, watch the movie about the study (free) here.

Gut microbiome disruption is receiving increasing research attention. Changes in the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome — driven by antibiotics, diet, C-section births, formula feeding, and processed foods — may impair immune regulation in ways that increase autoimmune risk. The TEDDY study (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young), a major ongoing international cohort study, has produced substantial evidence linking early gut microbiome composition to later diabetes risk.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s 1999 study hypothesized that the MMR may cause bowel problems perhaps leading to autism. For even suggesting this, he lost his license to practice. However, studies to date completely vindicate him.

Vitamin D deficiency is another hypothesis, given that type 1 diabetes rates are highest in northern latitudes where sunlight is limited, and vitamin D plays a known role in immune modulation. The evidence here is suggestive but not conclusive.

We all know by now that “correlation is not causation”. This correlation seems extremely flimsy.

Cow’s milk and infant feeding practices have been studied for decades, with some evidence that early introduction of cow’s milk protein may trigger autoimmunity in genetically susceptible infants, though results across studies have been inconsistent.

Of course cow’s milk is implicated. It’s implicated in everything. Wonder if RAW milk was included in the “evidence” search?

The “accelerator hypothesis” proposes that rising rates of obesity and insulin resistance — even in children who are genetically predisposed to type 1 — accelerate the loss of beta cells by overworking them. This might explain why the youngest age group (under 5) has seen some of the steepest rises.

Ok, possible. What is causing the rising rates of obesity and insulin resistance? Frankly, the more I learn, the more I believe that evidence connecting obesity/sugar to diabetes is pretty flimsy as well. Curious.

Where does the scientific consensus land? Researchers increasingly believe that a single factor is unlikely to account for the global rise, and that a multifactorial process is at work — sometimes described as a “balance shift” model where multiple environmental pressures collectively tip susceptible individuals into autoimmunity. Journal of Molecular Endocrinology

The genetic risk profile of newly diagnosed children has also shifted over time, with more cases now occurring in individuals carrying lower-risk gene variants — suggesting that environmental pressure is doing more of the triggering work than it once did.

It’s an area of active and somewhat urgent research, particularly given projections that, if current trends hold, the number of youth with type 1 diabetes in the U.S. could more than triple by 2050. [Emphasis mine.]

There are certainly multiple environmental pressures at work in every illness! Doctors are JUST NOW coming around to that whereas mothers have known this for decades.

No mention of vaccines playing a role. Meanwhile, vaccines and JD rise in close proximity to each other:

I’m surprised there was no mention of 2nd hand smoke, one of the newest scapegoats for vaccine injury.

That’s what I have for now. Except two things:

1. I read an article recently about a mom who had cured her child’s JD. I will find that and share it.

2. If you are going to vax, have your child’s urine and blood tested beforehand (and any other tests you can) so you have a baseline. So so SO wish I’d thought of this!!!

More soon! xo Sally

Here’s what he sent this am:

Quote from the research paper

The layperson’s translation is under this quote and complete definitions (*) are at the bottom.

"MDA* [oxidative stress] level was found to be considerably increased in BPA-exposed impaired mice as compared to the control group in hippocampus region of brain (p < 0.01). The treatment with Ws [Withania somnifera = Ashwagandha] on the other hand decreased the MDA level in the BPA group. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the hippocampus was also efficiently scavenged by the anti-oxidative enzymes such as SOD** and catalase***. In our result, Ws was found to modulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The catalase level was significantly reduced (p < 0.01) in BPA group as compared to control group within hippocampus. Interestingly, Ws was found to significantly restore the levels of catalase in BPA intoxicated mice (p < 0.05). While, in the case of BPA-exposed mice, activity of SOD was found to be significantly decreased (p < 0.001) as compared with that of control group. However, on Ws treatment, the activity of SOD was seen to be significantly elevated in comparison to BPA-exposed mice p < 0.05."

Translation

BPA, the known plasticizer endocrine disruptor, increased a marker of oxidative stress known as MDA in the brain of rats. The herb Ashwagandha decreased the oxidative stress in the brain and thus the MDA level. The herb Ashwagandha decreased the oxidative stress by increasing the function of the anti-oxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase.

Relevance

Besides inducing hormonal changes, the endorcine disruptor BPA also induces direct damage to brain tissue by increase oxidative stress via lowering the anti-oxidant enzymes. The popular ayuverdic herb, actually one of my favorites, Ashwagandha is able to rescue the brain tissue from the oxidative stress. Also, although not listed here, Ashwagandha increases thyroid function, androgenic hormones, and decreases estrogens and glucocorticoids. So Ashwagandha seems to block the effects of BPA at multiple sites; making it a useful tool in our arsenal to protect ourselves from pollutants and stress.

In my experience many people discount herbal products and supplements as inferior to drugs; this is an error. The plant compounds, even in everyday foods like orange juice or grapes, are quite potent physiologically. There is a plethora of research discussing the benefits of these compounds in vitro, in animals, and in humans. It's actually quite exciting to know that the glass of OJ with collagen, the fried banana, and the pastured eggs you had for breakfast are actually medicinal in nature.

If you would like a recommendation for an Ashwaganda supplement, there are lots to choose from on Amazon. I prefer liquids or powders when I can get supplements in that form — I take enough vitamin pills. Wild and Organic is a brand I use. Gaia is also excellent although I don’t see a liquid. This is a Gaia Ashwagandha capsule, this is an Ashwagandha gummy.

Here’s to your excellent health!

* Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a highly reactive compound formed as an end product of lipid peroxidation, the oxidative degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes. It is widely used as a biomarker to assess oxidative stress, reflecting damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. MDA can form adducts with DNA, proteins, and lipids, contributing to mutagenesis, inflammation, and cellular dysfunction.

**Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is a crucial enzyme in the body’s antioxidant defense system, primarily recognized for its role in combating oxidative stress. It functions by catalyzing the conversion of harmful superoxide radicals—reactive oxygen species (ROS)—into less damaging molecules: oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. This process protects cells, proteins, and DNA from damage linked to aging and chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular conditions.

***Catalase is a crucial antioxidant enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. Its primary function is to protect cells from oxidative damage by rapidly breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)—a potentially toxic byproduct of cellular metabolism—into water and oxygen. This action prevents the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids, contributing to aging and various diseases.

Why is this “sunlight first thing” suddenly a thing? Because sunlight in your eyes first thing in the am turns off cortisol (your wake up hormone) and resets your circadian rhythm (which will turn on melatonin tonight).

No need to stare at the sun, just keep your eyes open, the light gets in.

Cortisol is catabolic (meaning it “tears down”). It is the most damaging hormone in the body. You need a little to wake-up and some for a fight or flight response but virtually no other time.

Cortisol’s main job is to force your liver to shoot glycogen (sugar) into your blood stream to give you instant energy for fight/flight. If you have not eaten sugar for awhile and have no glycogen stored in your liver, your liver will take it from your tissues (including from your organs and muscles). You don’t want that.

4 Simple Tips

Here are 4 simple tips that stops the cortisol response and brings peace and a clear head in stressful situations. This works whether the stress is ACUTE (as in the tiger just appeared) or CHRONIC (as in the adrenaline switch is on and you can’t flip it off) -- BEEN THERE many times in my life.

#1 Sugar (yes, SUGAR)

Eat a date, a low-starch fruit, a hard candy or drink a glass of juice. The sugar turns off the fight-or-flight response because you did cortisol’s job for it and the hormone stops being released.

Please note: fake sugar will not work. Organic with cane sugar or honey only! Fake sugars, glyphosate and all non-food ingredients cause your body STRESS even if you don’t “feel” it, which releases more cortisol.

#2 Sunlight

Get sunlight in your eyes every morning first thing. Outside, sun to eyes directly. Sunlight resets your circadian rhythm regulating both cortisol (your wake-up hormone) and melatonin (your sleep hormone). Sunlight is the Cortisol Umbrella Remedy.

If getting outside is too challenging for any reason, open a window. Or sit close to it... I’ve been doing this f-a-i-r-l-y consistently since last summer and the effects have been so positive, I now make the effort to go outside! Simple tool, huuuge reward.

#3 Quick Buteyko breath

Take a couple of Buteyko breaths (all nasal): breathe in 3 secs, exhale 4 secs, hold 2-5 secs, repeat. Keep it easy and smooth, no stress. Here’s a basic lesson -- Buteyko breathing has been amazing for me!

#4 Reframe your response

Reframe your stress response from “OMG” to “there is opportunity here” (thank you, Scott Adams). This little mantra makes the world sane again which allows you to deal CALMLY with whatever calamity has appeared.

When I am stuck in chronic fight-or-flight mode, EVERY calamity is HUGE, calling up more cortisol on top of what’s already flowing thru my system. I want peace.

Stressed? Find the sun, suck on a candy, do a Buteyko, tell yourself “there is opportunity here”, then slay that tiger.

Chronic stress can lead to cancer and all manner of unpleasant health outcomes. You don’t want that, right?

My health philosophy these days is based on Ray Peat’s teachings.

His preferred death would have been a massive heart attack on the golf course or dying in a hail of bullets defending his family. This was not a fun death by any stretch and I'm furious that there is cancer in our world, that a cancer death is so traumatic, and that SO MANY people are sick with it.

Cancer is not a natural disease, not in God's original design by any stretch. It's a disease caused by man-made toxins. Don't even get me started.

Peggy and Brian (Hal's brother and his wife who we adore) were here for about 2 weeks, taking off work -- don't know what I would have done without them. Our son Ryan has been a rock, we are both so terribly, terribly sad missing Mo and Hal.

So many of you prayed and sent love, that was an amazing support. Lots of you in the healing world sent supplements, potions and tinctures along with brilliant advice -- I know so much yet you all introduced me to so many new healing ideas I'd never heard of! A friend loaned me her Rife machine, an FDN colleague did daily healings, another friend loaned me her Lexus SUV with a mattress in the back to carry Hal to any appointments and ER visits. I am blown away by your all's kindness and generosity.

I know Hal was healing. He was diagnosed 2/1/25 with his main liver marker at 717 (it’s supposed to be like 10). We started a natural protocol immediately and were considering chemo — Dr. Makis, one of the alternative docs using fenben/iver to heal cancer, was having great success with low dose chemo along with natural. Hal was too weak for chemo but our goal was to get him stronger.

After only 2 weeks, his liver numbers were down 150 points! We didn't get a chance to do another blood test but the swelling on his right side (from the tumors in his liver) was WAY down. If we'd had another 30 days, I know he'd be alive. But we discovered it too late and his body was already so broken by cachexia (muscle wasting). I think that was what made him too far gone for recovery.

He had not been feeling great for awhile, ditto me, but we chalked everything up to the overwhelming stress of the last 5 years: losing access to our grandchildren (we do have court-ordered visitation now), losing Mo, 4 years of Covid lies and discovering just how dangerous and powerful our government had become (and you know we've been awake since our first audit 30 years ago). All that along with a couple of other major personal stressful events that I can't talk about yet. It's been a difficult 5 years.

I know we are not alone in that. I see you out there suffering like we have been.

But it wasn't just stress, although that definitely played a role in creating his cancer. Looking back I can see that some of those signs were more than that and that if either of us had REALLY looked, we might have gotten a jump on it. I suffer terrible guilt about that, maybe we would have known sooner. I don't think there's any way around the guilt but a friend told me "just don't let it stick". I'm working on that.

Hal was a remarkable man in every way that made a difference. He was kind and generous, so smart and with a wonderfully skewed perspective on everything. He saw things differently and stood up for it. He told me that "the right thing to do is usually the hard thing to do" and he lived by that. And he loved me so big. I know he didn't want to go and that just kills me.

I was lucky to have him for 36 years, over half my life. I am trying to be grateful that it all happened so fast, mercifully and horribly quick, the suffering did not endure for long. I just want him back and to have those 30 more days.

Hal’s Obituary

Harold Xavier “Hal” O’Boyle, age 75, of Salt Lick, Kentucky, passed away on March 23, 2025, surrounded by his family. Cancer was the thief. His preferred death would have been a massive heart attack on the golf course or dying in a hail of bullets defending his family. Alas.

Hal was born February 13, 1950 in Scranton, PA to Claude and Joan O’Boyle. He graduated from Tufts University and promptly escaped to Key West. After working various jobs, he started Island Advertising & Printing and hired his future wife.

After selling IAP, Hal’s pursuit of justice led him on a quest to be a stoic protector of the unprotected. He spent the next 2 decades as a consultant in the Tax Honesty Movement, putting the IRS in its place. He and his partner, Ed, earned an exceptional reputation for helping clients win against the evil Auntie Iris.

On February 2, 1991, he married Sally Richardson. They adopted two amazing sons and shared 34 years of loving, devoted companionship. Hal was a man’s man, a devoted husband and father, and grandpa to two extraordinary kids in whom he found his greatest joy.

Hal is survived by his beloved family: wife Sally, son Ryan, grandchildren Lake and Sam O’Boyle. Tragically, he was preceded in death by his son, Morgan, as well as his parents Joan and Claude and sisters Megan and Bridgid.

Hal is also survived by his brother and best friend, Brian and his wife Peggy, sister Molly and her husband Steve, brother Larry and many, many friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Known for his articulate and poignant writing, his quiet strength and quick wit, Hal was a kind soul who positively affected the lives of those around him. A memorial service was held at Newton’s Attic in Lexington, KY on Thursday April 10th. Cards and remembrances can be sent to Sally at 1619 Bypass Rd, Winchester, KY 40391.

Hal’s memory will be a beacon of light, hope, and peace and bring a smile to all who were fortunate enough to know him.

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.” Hal is deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

The two “alternative” alternatives are Ivermectin (the little tiny white pill in the picture) and Fenbendazole (the animal dewormer in the white container). Weirdly, animal dewormers have proven to be very effective at putting people into remission from cancer so they can hear the coveted NED (No Evidence of Disease) diagnosis!

Because we know very healthy people who have “come down” with cancer lately, we take both every day as a preventative.

The Nuts & Bolts

Following is the new & improved “Synergistic Joe Tippens Protocol” meaning these *good doctors took Joe’s protocol and enhanced it with Ivermectin. This is the protocol I would follow if I were diagnosed with cancer. Included are links where to buy, none are affiliate.

• Fenbendazole — 300mg, 7 days a week. In the case of severe turbo cancers up to 1 gram. This is what we use, we get the 1000ml size. We put the dose in a shot glass, fill with OJ and drink. It’s not bad, tastes a little chalky. [For prevention, we take 1/2 tsp (222mg) every night.] If 1/2 tsp is 222mg, then 3/4 tsp would be 333mg. Honestly this stuff is so benign (except to cancer or dog parasites), that’s close enough for me. Remember, Joe took 222mg every day for almost 6 years and continues taking it 3x/week as prevention! In his FB group, there are people taking LOTS more.

• Ivermectin — 24mg, 7 days a week. In the case of severe turbo cancers, take up to 1mg/kg/day. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds so take your weight divide it in half and that’s how many milligrams per day to take. We buy the pills in the 12 mg size here. We’ve used Iverjohn and Ivermed. We’ve been buying meds from Indian pharmacies for years, never had a problem. Just got a $400 order from Reynold. [For prevention, we take one 12mg tablet every night.] Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik have done a ton of work on ivermectin and are using large doses — very large over at least 2 years for some clients — with no ill effects.

• Vitamin E with all 8 forms of Tocotrienol and Tocopherol — 400-800mg per day, 7 days a week. Gamma E by Life Extension is perfect, take 1 a day. I order lots of supplements directly from Life Extension, free shipping on a subscription.

• Bio-Available Curcumin — 600mg per day, 2 pills per day 7 days a week. We like Advanced Curcumin Elite from Life Extension.

• Vitamin D3 — 5,000 iu every day. We take this from life extension, 1 a day in summer, 2-3/day in winter.

• CBD oil — 1-2 droppers full [equal to 167 to 334 mg per day] under the tongue, 7 days a week. Any health food store or “head” shop will carry this. Kentucky has several local brands and we know most of the growers, good stuff!! I highly recommend Katie’s CBD. She’s a good friend and I use her products.

• Probiotic for immune support. I recommend Megaspore. This is an affilaite link, I make a commission and you get 5% off. It’s the only one I recommend and use.

Excellent short video on Ivermectin.

There are several excellent Q&A videos on Joe Tippins’ blog. Joe cured his S4 small cell lung cancer with Fenbendazole after chemo and after docs sent him home to die.

Remember this is not medical advice. This is how we use it and what we believe. You’ll have to make up your own mind.

2nd Smartest Guy: article on Ivermectin

Cancer. The word alone still produces so much fear. After the last 4 years, we’ve all come to realize the real danger to our health comes from fear overload. I don’t have a post on how to cure that. Yet. Working on it…

In fact, we watched a really cute movie with the grandkids a few weeks ago called “Inside Out”. We all laughed and laughed! My only beef with the script was when the character named Fear said that, “Fear keeps you safe”. No, it does not. Fear stops your brain from working and allows for bad decisions, if you are able to think at all. COMMON SENSE keeps you safe. You need plenty of that to overcome the fear.

“Alternative” Alternative?

I’ve watched all the cancer summits since the early 2000s. There are so many excellent cancer docs promoting amazing cures: Gerson, Brezinski, Hoxsey, Berkson, Gonazalez, Isaacs, Contreras,

Avoid Toxins

You can’t avoid them all because chemtrails. But by modifying lifestyle choices, you can avoid the obvious ones: GMOs, glyphosate, PFAS, fluoride,

Now that the details are coming out about the SERIOUS toxins in our food, water, and air, I’m getting lots of questions about detox and is it safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. With PBX it is!

Take your time reading thru the info below. We are extremely satisfied with our zeolite detox and continue to use it today.

About Detox during Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Although many detox protocols warn against use during pregnancy and/or lactation, PBX is a safe and effective way to detox during the stages of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and lactation. Due to the stability of the Clinoptilolite zeolite molecule in vivo (in the body), it is a safe way to detox not just the mother’s body, but to also protect a baby’s vulnerable body from her mother’s toxic load.

The zeolite molecule is indissoluble in the body, which means it retains its physiochemical properties as it passes through the digestive and elimination systems. This stability allows the Clinoptilolite in PBX to safely detox mom & baby without the risk of toxin redistribution.

PBX users need not worry about zeolites passing through the breastmilk, because if/when they do, chances are they will purify the milk of toxins, even improving milk yield and/or milk fat content in many cases. Also, gestational and growth performance are often improved with Clinoptilolite, so the safe detoxification of the baby’s body is beneficial for growth and health.

How do we know this is so? Well, although human gestation/lactation trials are scarce due to the lack of human volunteers, we do have a large body of research on the use of Clinoptilolite in gestating and lactating animals. The collective results from these clinical studies are positive, demonstrating increases in milk yield and nutrient density in nursing mammals, improved gestational results in pregnant livestock, and significant decreases in aflatoxins and other contaminants in milk. The clinical data available provides proof of the many substantial improvements with Clinoptilolite supplementation in lactating and gestating animals.

The research shows the following results from Clinoptilolite supplementation during lactation/gestation:

• Did not deplete the body of essential minerals and nutrients during gestation and/or lactation,

• Increased milk fat percentages

• Increased milk yield

• Decrease in ketosis in postpartum cows

• No adverse affect on liver parameters

• Decrease in aflatoxins and urea in milk

• Improved Reproductive performance

• Improved energy status in lactating cows

• Improved health in neonatal dairy calves

• Increased weight gain in neonatal animals

Safety and efficacy of CPL in dairy cows and their calves

“Several toxicological studies proved that certain natural zeolites, e. g. CPL are non-toxic and completely safe for use in human and veterinary medicine. Best known and the most thoroughly tested for its safety and e cacy as in-feed additive for animal species of veterinary importance is CPL of sedimentary origin containing at least 80% of CPL and a maximum of 20% clay minerals.

Reproductive efficiency is a key factor for the dairy herd’s profitability. Among various parameters for estimating the reproductive efficiency, calving to the first heat interval, calving to the first service interval, calving to new conception interval, number of services per conception and calving interval are the most prominent. These parameters are affected by a significant number of factors such as energy balance, age, milk yield, cattle breed, health status and herd management, including nutrition and housing. Findings that zeolites improve the energy status of dairy cattle, especially in early lactation, could be interpreted that the dietary inclusion of CPL might have beneficial effects on the reproductive efficiency of dairy cattle. Numerous biological activities of some types of zeolites, and previously observed positive biological effects documented so far might probably be attributed to their OSA-releasing property. Namely, the group of authors that performed pioneer research of zeolites (CPL) on animal models and humans in Croatia, critically reconsidered their previous observations and those of the other authors as well the most recent findings on biological effects of Si and OSA on animals (particularly dogs, horses and calves), and propose that such effects of various colloidal silicic acids (various hydrated silica gels) and of some zeolites,e.g. zeolite A and CPL, might be at least partially attributed to their OSA-releasing properties… ”

However, a few months after getting ours, my husband and I have been plagued with mysterious and worsening health issues.

Photo from StopSmartMeters.org

Introduction

We are boomers who have enjoyed very good health up until a few months ago. Husband has had bad ankles for years; I’m 10 pounds overweight. Other than that, nothing spectacular. Not on any prescriptions meds, we eat very clean, take good quality supplements, work on managing stress, and working out.

I manage a “real food” buying club here in KY, delivering unadulterated food directly from farmers to foodies weekly since 2016. I’m also the Weston A. Price Foundation chapter leader locally and a health consultant since 1982. I study, read and listen to health info constantly. Husband is a consultant, dealing mostly with the world’s most notoriously evil agency. Although the WHO, CDC, FDA and USDA are scrambling to replace it…

Mysterious Health Issues

Quick aside: aging is not an excuse for automatic declining health with various aches and pains. I’ve seen too many ancients get back their vitality, strength and good humor with lifestyle mods.

All of our issues outlined below are recent developments.

Neither of us sleeps well anymore. We’ve done all the things: mouthtape, dark room, no wifi at night, minimize blue light… all the things. We used to sleep. Now we wake up tired and take naps. We are in bed by 9, which is an excellent idea, but only if it’s a choice. It’s not for us these days.

Other issues: debilitating arthritis in various joints, painful sciatica, eczema and other mysterious rashes, brain fog, loss of focus, memory issues (like getting to the kitchen and NEVER remembering why we went in there), high blood pressure, low endurance and stamina…

Neither of us had any of this a few months ago. What the heck is going on?

We are not alone.

The research and anecdotes (from thousands of people) on the effects of smart meters include all of the above plus cancer, Parkinson’s, auto-immune disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, and many others. Some of which may be developing in us, we just haven’t noticed yet.

Where can you learn more?

Since diving into EMF radiation effects, I’ve discovered a mountain of experts and technicians who have looked at the studies that show radiation can do real damage to human bodies. Studies going back decades.

It should be no surprise that EMF affects humans. We are electrical beings, after all.

Here are 4 starter resources with excellent info, no fluff. Listen to the first one, then decide if you want to hear more:

• Kim Rosenberg of the Children’s Health Defense interviews EMF mitigation specialist Paul Harding and CHD attorney Scott McCullough. The Children’s Health Defense is preparing a lawsuit over the significant health effects of smart meters. RFK is quite good at suing companies who hurt people. Click here to listen.

• Josh del Sol, producer of the “Take Back Your Power” documentary (see next resource), is on this Wise Traditions podcast. Very informative, current info. 40 min.

• “Take Back Your Power” is a documentary from 2013. It tells the disturbing history of smart meters and the illness, injury and death they have caused. Some of this is so shocking, it’s a wonder anyone pursued this. Except for the fact that smart meters spy on you and report back to the mothership… disturbing. This link goes to Apple TV where we watched for $3.99.

• “The Invisible Rainbow” was written by Arthur Firstenberg. He traces the history of electricity from the early 18th century, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization - heart disease, diabetes, and cancer - are related to electrical pollution. It’s here on Amazon in every format. I’m sure a good used copy is available from any used bookseller.

Do you have a smart meter?

In many districts, you can opt out of having one. You can trade in your smart meter for an analog with no wireless. You may be required to pay an opt-out fee (which we will be addressing in future as well).

💥 CRITICALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU OPT-OUT 💥

Insist on an ANALOG MECHANICAL meter. Many electrical service companies will trade out your smart meter for a “downgraded” smart meter. Not good enough: a “downgraded” is still smart and still emits radiation. Insist on ANALOG MECHANICAL.

PS. I’ve been told that sometimes a service provider will sneak an antennae onto your analog meter so you have to make sure that does not happen.

What if you can’t opt-out?

Our service provider here in KY is Clark Energy and they refuse to allow its customers to opt-out. We’ll see about that. Clark Energy is a co-op meaning we are owners and we have a say.

From the new member handbook:

If you are near me, under Clark Energy’s thumb and would like to change their opt-out policy, please contact me and I’ll add you to our contact list. Hit reply to this email or text me at 859-550-3862. The more the merrier.

If you are with another service provider who won’t allow an opt-out, let us know which one, and we can add you to our list. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.

DISCLAIMER

Hal and I are not experts. Fortunately, we know people who are.

But if we didn’t know anyone, if all we knew was info from the 4 resources above, that’s enough to want to get that thing off our bedroom wall. There are too many studies and too many injured people to think we can live safely in a microwave that is turned on all the time.

And to think we haven’t had a microwave in the house since 2008.

Y’all, I’m so excited to be talking with my friend Sierra Hamm, a Registered Nurse who happens to be — among many other skills and talents — an awesome advocate for new moms navigating today’s tricky world of childbirth.

Having spent many years working in a hospital setting and understanding today’s tricky world of blood transfusions, Sierra saw a need for Kentuckians to have access to clean blood if the need arises.

Well, she’s done something about it! Take a listen, then join us at We Are The Control Group.

A little about Sierra…

She’s authored multiple courses online, including certification program for doulas, online continuing education community for childbirth assistants, curriculum for people interested in maternal/ fetal health career field, curriculum for an international health coaching company working with Fortune 5 companies, and much more!

Sierra is has been a Staff RN in hospitals, antepartum, labor and delivery, postpartum, newborn nursery.

She is a Midwife assistant at home and birth center births.

She is also a Maternity health coach focusing on lifestyle and behavior change.

Cindi has been spearheading the move to remove the water fluoridation MANDATE in KY. Right now, every county is mandated to add fluoride to its water system.

Once the mandate is gone, each county can decide for itself.

The bill was first filed in 2018 and it’s been gaining traction and sponsors every year. Leadership kills it eventually. Need some leadership with little kids!!!

Julie gave me a whole new process. It’s called NLP and it’s incredibly effective. I know because it’s what marketers use on US.

You know, marketers who work for government agencies and pharmaceutical liars I mean companies.

In my most humble opinion, we should probably ALL learn NLP just in self defense!

Take a listen, tell me what you think. Have you studied this topic? Have you used it?

It has been harassed for years because it is not following the rules set by federal and state regulatory agencies who, of course, only have our best interests at heart.

Can you tell I’m lying about that “best interests” thing? Regulatory agencies work for the corporations they are supposed to control. Turns out that the only thing they want to control is our freedom to choose the foods we know are best for us. Their job is to funnel us into conventional foods and medicines for the best interests of those corporations.

MOF is a PMA: a Private Membership Association which operates outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. How? By contract. Contract law is enshrined in the US Constitution.

Of course, that tiny detail has NOT stopped US government agencies (the USDA, in this case) or state agencies (the PDA, PA Dept of Ag, in this case) from bulldozing right over that right.

The Miller’s harassment has been going on for years and is based on the simple fact that MOF is not following the rules. The Highwire has been good about providing basic facts surrounding the harassment:

• This segment from 8/24/23 episode includes a phone interview with Amos Miller: Amish farmer faces jail time (23 min)

• This segment from the 2/29/24 episode: The fight for food freedom rages in PA (11 min)

• Why Miller’s farm is so important: Man heals autoimmune disease with raw food — this is the story of Max Kane who after decades of debilitating gastrointestinal issues, he discovered the incredible health benefits from consuming raw dairy and made a complete recovery. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF STORIES OF HEALING WITH FOOD.

  • Max is a friend, we are both members of the Weston A. Price Foundation, the largest and oldest organization promoting and educating humans on clean, real food. Our local food buying club uses Max’ FarmMatch as our order site.

Why Miller’s Organic Farm? Because:

• It’s the largest purveyor of real food in the US and ships across state lines. If MOF gets away with serving real food to the people, the end is near for commodity grains, CAFOs and conventional farming. Can’t have that.

• The Millers are Amish. The Amish are notorious for not fighting back and for not hiring an English attorney. (There are no Amish attorneys.) If you are going to fight English rules in an English court, you better have an English attorney and a good one. Without an attorney, this would have been an easy win for the gov. Fortunately, the Millers realized what losing would mean to the real food community and hired an attorney.

• Barnes on what to expect as the case moves to trial in 2024

Why this post today?

Because my friend and former food-freedom colleague, Liz Reitzig, has been condemning Miller’s Organic Farm for not following the rules. This is yesterday’s podcast (I watched at 2x speed). She and Mike Kovach, board member of the PA Farmer’s Union, discuss Miller’s refusal to follow the rules and agree that he should be forced to do so.

That’s it, that’s the gist of the problem and how it should be resolved: Miller should be forced to follow the rules set in place by gov agencies. I can hardly believe these two food freedom advocates believe this is the answer.

On her post, you’ll see links to Liz’ other articles about Miller. I’ve disagreed with those as well, but this is the first time I’ve spoken up.

My rebuttal:

Just listened to this podcast. While I agree with Liz on more issues than not, her beef with Amos Miller, the Amish farmer who ships his food all over the country and has been targeted by first the USDA (who lost) and now the PDA (PA Dept of Ag) is that he’s not following the food safety rules put in place by those 2 agencies.

Really?

No mention of the agency-approved poison available nationwide and crammed onto conventional grocery store shelves. No mention of the fact our fruits are irradiated for safety, juices and milk are pasteurized for our safety, glyphosate is not banned, Apeel and Agri-Fresh are allowed on our fruits and veggies with no label or notice (even organic)… no mention of the broccoli that kills or the other tragedies that happened on farms following the rules… Honestly, the list of agency-approved food-poisonings is too long for a post.

Liz and Mike mention that several of Miller’s customers have allegedly gotten sick from his food, but no mention of the fact that since we’ve had a USDA, an FDA and a CDC, not to mention all those state departments of agriculture run by politicians who get large campaign contributions from corporate Big Ag farmers… since we’ve had all these “keep us safe and healthy” agencies, Americans are fatter and sicker than they’ve ever been.

Besides, when you are hurt by a product and can prove it, you sue the maker. This is why we have a tort system: to protect consumers. Regulations and inspections are pre-crime actions. They don’t increase protection. They just increase costs.

People are literally dying from pharmaceuticals (particularly vaccines which are protected from liability) and conventional food all approved by those 3 agencies, but Miller needs to be taken to task and shut down, driven to bankruptcy, for not following their “food safety rules”?

I feel like I’m in upside down world here… What am I missing?

And, most importantly, no mention of the liberty aspect, the personal responsibility for our food choices. Millers represents TRUE food freedom: I get to eat what I want from whomever I want regardless of the “rules” put in place by gov agencies. I get to investigate how safe the food is, whether or not risks are involved, then make my informed choices.

Redding (head of PDA) may be a stand up guy but he works for an agency bent on controlling our food choices using the time-honored combo of fear + gov-sanctioned safety.

Liberty is messy and there are risks, as the Founders knew. I‘ll take liberty over safety any day.

I’ve known Liz since about 2010, we blogged together for a time, and have attended food freedom events together. She is a powerhouse, very active politically, lives close to DC and is there often working with legislators on food freedom issues. Right now, the Prime Act is her focus. Liz and I agree on LOTS. MOF is one of the rare instances when we don’t.

This is Liz and I in 2013 at Mark Baker’s farm in MI where a couple hundred farm food freedom advocates gathered to protest the Bakers persecution by state “authorities”.

About Mark & Jill Baker’s 4-year long brush with gov agencies:

• Mark on a 2020 podcast telling the story

• Farm to Consumer worked with Mark during the debacle

• David Gumpert’s report in 2015

• Bakers stopped commercial farming and went another direction

• The Baker’s “Anyone Can Farm” website today

HAL: Oh, good. (Because he knows better than to resist.) What is it and what’s it for?

ME: TMG to mitigate high homocysteine levels which can cause high blood pressure. I’m trying to keep you alive.

HAL: (hugs me) It’s not going to work.

Sigh. Living with a stoic realist has its ups and downs.

In a nutshell

We all have homocysteine in our blood. In a perfect body with a healthy gut and no mutated genes, homocysteine is broken down into the harmless amino acid methionine.

It’s estimated that 60 to 70% of us have at least one mutated gene and who do you know has a healthy gut?

When you are not breaking down homocysteine efficiently and levels get too high, it irritates the lining of your arteries causing them to become inflamed which causes them to swell and narrow. Meanwhile you are pushing the same amount of blood through your body but now it’s being forced through a narrower pipe which causes blood pressure to rise.

Gotta relax those pipes!

Methylated B vitamins, specifically B6, B12, and folate, help your body breakdown homocysteine. Another supplement that works well is TMG (trimethylglycine). We’re havin’ some.

Resources

For your reading pleasure: Dr Axe on homocysteine

Here are 4 good TTs on this from people I follow:

• Dr. Greg

• Louisa Nicola

• Performance Medicine - she doesn’t talk about TMG, but she does mention the other B vitamins that play an important role in lowering homocystine

• Gary Brecka (while I’m not a huge Brecka fan, he does get a lot of things right.)

It’s a good idea to cover your camera whenever you are on the internet. I use little pieces of post it notes to cover mine.

Where to Buy (no affiliation)

TMG pills | TMG powder Life Extension is a good company (so far, it’s not owned by a megacorp).

We’ll start with the pills, then probably switch to the powder. Hal will be taking 4 grams for 6 weeks (recommended by one of the docs) and pills will be easier for that. Overall, I prefer powder because there are no other additives, just the good stuff. We add a bunch to our daily smoothie.

Homocysteine Resist If you are not already taking the other B vitamins, this is a very good companion supplement (you’ll need the TMG also).

Stay healthy, ya’ll. We need you

Today’s guest is my friend Nikki Braun. I met Nikki in June 2021 when I was looking for a supplement to help with my detox regimen. Her suggestion worked so well that I started working with her. Even though we've worked together for 3 years, this was our first convo face to face -- spectacular :)

Nikki is a holistic wellness coach focused on root causes and detoxification. She believes as I do that there are a few major [blatant] reasons that are [ahem] overlooked as to why we as a society have so many health issues.

Let's get to the root of THAT, shall we?

It's impossible to heal a body overwhelmed by toxins. Detox is essential, particularly in today's world when the toxins are coming at us from all angles (which we talk about in the podcast).

🌿 Thank you, Nikki, for being on the show and thank you, Listeners, for being here with us. Y'all rock!!! 🎉

Just finished my 2nd podcast with Julie the Crunchy Legal Lady, and already can’t wait for part 3!!! She is a wealth of information on the legal and communication issues we are all dealing with (or pretty sure to be doing so at some point) in these very strange times.

Plus she’s young, just finishing law school and 100% for health freedom, religious rights, how to communicate effectively with friends and family who are not (yet) on our same page… It’s extremely exciting for me to be able to help broadcast her message.

You can also listen on Spotify and Apple!

About Julie

Julie and I met via our local food buying club featuring raw milk, pastured meats & eggs, clean food so I knew she was one of my people! She's about to graduate law school with plans to specialize in health freedom issues. We definitely need more bright young stars on our team!

Known on Insta as Crunchy Legal Lady, Julie has been a law clerk and legal researcher for one of the most successful health freedom law firms in the US. Before law school, Julie worked in the research industry helping high touch clients such as Yale, Harvard, and Google to create and fulfill their research studies.

Mom to three littles, Julie is truly a crunchy mama from birth to food to medicine. In fact, her 3rd birth was a free birth! She loves to study how to avoid toxins, protect her rights, and do things in a natural way.

Lucky for us, her passion is sharing all this information with you and me. Including the real problems with the research we are looking at…

Here’s my plan for living my best life: surround myself with friends who are experts in the freedom issues I am not able to learn, then LISTEN. What a blessing!

I would love if you would listen and let me know what you think. What other questions do you have for Julie? And what other topics would you like to learn about?

If there’s one thing you can count on around here, it’s change. I haven’t really talked about diet lately because I’m in the middle of a huge shift from low carb/IF to high carb 4-6 meals a day, all based on the teachings of Ray Peat.

Time to spill the beans.

I fell down this rabbit hole June 2023 so 7 months ago. No real results yet except — don’t panic — I gained 10 pounds during the first 5 months. That’s because ice cream and OJ are on the menu now and Hal and I kinda went hog wild. I’m ok with it, I’m already married, hahaha!

Besides, I know it will come off as I figure out this pro-metabolic philosophy. We laid off the ice cream, kinda got sick of it, and I lost 3 pounds. That was easy.

I’m committed to the pro-metabolic life for 2024, see how it works. Can I really charge up my metabolism? It’s worked for others and the devotees are sincerely devoted! So why not me?

Why the Switch?

I don’t know exactly — it wasn’t an intellectual decision. It was all gut, intuition. All I know is when I heard Georgi describing the basics of being a Peatarian (see podcast link below), something clicked. I needed to know more about this. My low carb/IF life was not working anymore and I instinctively knew my metabolism was the problem. I also suspected thyroid issues which is a huge topic in Peat-World. I jumped in 100%.

Where I’m Getting Info

• This podcast got me started. Georgi Dinkov has a mind like a steel trap: he reads it, he remembers it and he connects the dots. Ask him a question, he’ll remember the study, the year it was done, then quote results, including numbers. Not just a robot; he’s rationally connecting the dots. I listen to him whenever I come across a podcast he’s on and he’s a guest on a LOT these days. Georgi’s website.

• Just for street cred, both Mercola (“Fat as Fuel” author) and Saladino (“The Carnivore Code” author) have gone high carb!!! They have been famously keto/carnivore for YEARS. Just so you know that I may not be insane.

• I follow Danny Roddy and join his twice weekly Q&As ($49/month, join on his Patreon channel). I’ve also hired him for a couple of one-on-ones.

• I’ve listened to at least half the podcasts on Danny’s blog (I listen on Spotify), lots of the old ones, all the new ones, many of them twice.

• I follow Kitty Blomfield, Kate Deering, Jodelle Fitzwater, and Emma Sgourakis on blogs and podcasts. (I used to follow them on IG but quit that platform because of all the grooming. I’m still on FB for some of the groups like Canning Rebels, Real Food KY, Ray Peat Friends, some crunchy mom groups.)

• Did Kitty’s 7 day challenge.

• Bought Kate’s book and have read it twice.

• Investigating thyroid. Read Broda Barnes’ classic Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness, reading a 2nd time now. Also got thermometers and pulse ox meters to test.

• Joined the Ray Peat forum. Whenever I do a search, I specify that I want @haidut’s posts (that’s Georgi). It’s the best way I can think of to separate the gems from the noise.

• My favorite podcast after Ray’s passing in November 2022 with Danny & Emma.

What I’m Eating

The macro goal (for now) is 50% carbs, 35 protein, 15 fat. Way, waaaaay different than I have been eating for probably 7 years. And this is subject to change as I figure out how my body handles a higher carb diet.

Also calories count. More on that below.

• All clean food, organic, pastured, glyphosate-free — that is our #1 consideration.

• The basics: meat, raw dairy, organic fruits & OJ (a couple of other juices occasionally but OJ is a staple), coffee, honey.

• I occasionally eat a half slice of sourdough bread with my quail egg breakfast, but that’s it. Hal has more, he’s always been a bread guy. It’s just gotta be sourdough to be Peaty.

• Almost no veggies -- we are not big veggie people besides carrots, onions, celery, garlic, ginger in soups/stews.

• We do some rice but cutting back on that until we feel like the transition is secure. Starches are hard to digest.

• Organic fruits are hard to find in winter, but Costco still has pears and berries, and Azure Standard has a few in bulk so I freeze-dry or can those. Homemade chunky applesauce is a staple around here!

• No PUFAs which are basically seed oils. Good oils are saturated fats: butter, ghee, lard, tallow, bacon grease. Coconut oil is a good choice for a plant-based saturated fat. PURE olive and avocado oils are good, too, but be aware that these two oils are easy to dilute with cheaper PUFA oils. Plus they are often already rancid when I get them in the store. Yuck.

• Sweeteners are organic cane sugar and honey, occasionally maple syrup. Hard stop. Note that “high carb” does NOT include Twinkies, Saltines or Trail Mix!!!

• The only processed foods still in our diets are protein shakes and my daily Energy Fizz. it’s hard to get enough protein when you really don’t eat that much, so shakes are required to fill in the gap. Plus they carry most of our supplements (we get lots in powder form) and they are so yummy! Made with raw milk, of course :)

When to Eat

Breakfast within 45 minutes of waking, then eat every 3-4 hours. Your fire can’t burn without fuel.

Breakfast was hard: I haven’t eaten breakfast in YEARS. I didn’t force it, just kept reminding myself to eat something before 2pm lol. It took a couple of months, but I’m back in the breakfast game!

What Else?

Gotta workout. You simply can’t eat 2500 calories a day then burn only 1500 and expect to stay slim. Won’t happen. So 10-20 minutes a day 3-4 days a week. Tabatas, y’all!!!

NO to chronic cardio. YES to building strength.

It’s not the calories you burn during the workout (which is cardio’s claim to fame and even then not enough calories burned to make it worth it). Rather, it’s the raising of your metabolism so you burn calories all the time, even while you sleep. Muscle does that!

Metabolism?

Yeah, we don’t talk about this enough. And metabolism is a funny thing, it’s not really logical until you dig into the details.

Did you know that if you eat too few calories (input), your body slows down your metabolism (output) to match?

So if you were cutting calories to lose weight, that works at first… until your body goes, “wait a minute — I’m not getting enough fuel (calories) to keep this fire (metabolism) burning. Gotta slow down the fire to match the fuel.”

So it does just that to protect your fuel stores! Argh, major backfire.

To fix this, you have to increase your calories and your exercise to get that fire burning again.

BTW, this is how I gained weight: I increased my calories via ice cream faster than my metabolism sped up. If you want to try this WOE and don’t want to gain weight, go slow. (WOE = Way of Eating)

The two hardest things:

1. Keeping track of macros — I’m using the Cronometer app which I really like. (The free version although I may upgrade to paid.) It’s only a pain when you are entering foods for the first time. After the first week, you start to know what foods work best together to keep your calories within your ratios.

2. Being consistent with exercise, but I’m getting there.

Motivated?

OH YES!!! Aging happens and I don’t like it. If I’m going to slide into home base having sucked the life out of life, I’m going to need a rip-roaring metabolism. So, yeah, baby, I’m all in.

What do you think? I would LOVE to know your thoughts on pro-metabolic living!

That title sounds too good to be true, right? At least until you come to know that ConMed (Conventional Medicine) + Big Pharma have created an extremely profitable sick care industry. That is to say making and keeping people sick for profit. Profitable for them, not you. And lifelong profit, at that.

They don’t make any money if you get well.

Oh, “conspiracy”, you say? LOOK AROUND. Since we’ve had an FDA, a CDC, and a WHO, humans across the planet are fatter and sicker than they’ve ever been. Every single country, city, town where the current American culture has taken hold — the Western diet + a device in every hand — has seen its population get so sick and fat, they require ConMed intervention. Cha-ching.

Lifelong profit because none of those meds cure. They don’t even heal. Once you are on a med, you will be on it for life. Or until you do your own research.

How many people do you know who got a prescription from their doctor, took it for awhile, then one day didn’t need it anymore? Mmm hmmm.

How many people do you know who just stopped taking their meds, didn’t die, didn’t even get worse, then miraculously got better by eating cleaner food, using non-toxic products, adding just a bit of exercise, and managing stress effectively? I know MANY.

So what do these meds DO? They mask symptoms, most often causing other illness and “side effects” along the way. I’m wondering if there are any pharmaceuticals that DON’T cause significant side effects.

Did you know that there are very few studies on the interactions of the various drugs you are taking? How do your HBP meds interact with your restless leg meds, statins, Metformin and PPIs? Nobody knows.

Good time to proclaim that I am not a doctor and none of this is medical advice. I am a good-hearted woman with an opinion. Lots of opinions. Based on 40 years of research and training. I’m not telling YOU what to do. I’m telling you what I do and what I make my husband do. YOUR medical decisions are yours alone.

High Blood Pressure (HBP) Basics:

Your blood pumps through your circulatory system under pressure much like water thru the pipes in your house. Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels (aka your pipes).

ConMed has established a safe blood pressure reading of 139/89. Anything over that is consider “high”. The medical term for high blood pressure is hypertension. ConMed says that, if your blood pressure is “high”, you run the risk of stroke and heart attack among other unpleasantries like kidney failure.

If you are diagnosed with HBP — even if it only measures high once — then you are prescribed meds which reduce the pressure to “safe” levels. You are generally on these forever or until your blood pressure magically returns to “normal”.

PS. Your BP will never return to normal without some sort of intervention. When the warning light goes on in your car, you don’t just wait until your car fixes itself, right? Body is the same. When a system goes wrong in your body, it requires intervention to heal it. That intervention can be as simple as, say, improving the quality of your sleep or seeing a chiropractor for awhile. Intervention is a must. I’m simply recommending different interventions than ConMed offers.

Blood Pressure Testing

A blood pressure test measures the pressure in the arteries as the heart pumps. The sphygmomanometer (SFIG-moh-mə-NO-mi-tər) is the type used most often.

• The cuff is placed at heart level around your upper arm which is supported and relaxed.

• It’s then inflated until the artery is completely blocked, no blood can get thru.

• While listening with a stethoscope to the brachial artery on the inside of your arm just below the cuff, the cuff pressure is slowly released until a "whooshing" or pounding sound is heard as blood flow first starts to flow again in the artery.

• The pressure at which this sound begins is recorded as the systolic blood pressure or the maximum pressure during one heartbeat. This is the top number.

• The cuff pressure is further released until the sound can no longer be heard. This is recorded as the diastolic blood pressure or minimum pressure between two heartbeats. This is the bottom number.

Causes of HBP

Nobody with a ConMed background knows. They will tell you stress or being fat, but they won’t teach you how to manage stress or lose weight without surgery or drugs.

I know one certain cause: clogged arteries. You can’t push liquid thru a clogged hole without pushing REALLY HARD.

Arteriosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis is when arteries become thick restricting blood flow to organs and tissues in the body.

The mythical cause, which is still promoted by authoritative sources on the internet because that’s where I got this info just now, is that arteriosclerosis is caused by “the buildup of sticky cholesterol plaque in the arteries and is the leading cause of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease.”

That quote was lifted from the Mayo Clinic which should really know that cholesterol has nothing to do with hardening of the arteries which means it has NOTHING to do with heart attacks. I’ve written about this ad nauseum providing tons of resources: here in 2010, here in 2012, here in 2020 and here in 2023.

Yet, a month ago, a dear friend had a heart attack and her doctor put her on statins. *&#(*@$)(#*! And HBP medications. Oy vey.

I’d go to a doctor for emergency treatment. Not for any kind of maintenance. Or healing.

The 3 Cheap Supplements

When your blood is flowing freely thru unclogged arteries, it can do it’s job bringing oxygen and nutrients to your entire body without undue pressure.

1. K2 this one - The main offender in clogged arteries is not cholesterol but calcium. You get calcium in lots of foods and many of us (me included) take a calcium supplement. But calcium doesn’t know where to go by itself so you take K2 which makes sure the calcium gets into your skeleton. Otherwise, calcium attaches to your arteries and piles up. Taking K2 after-the-fact moves that calcium out of your arteries into your skeleton. This is an excellent book on the topic, covers it very thoroughly, a good listen if you are into Audible.

2. Nattokinase either pills or powder (Hal adds the powder to coffee, you’ll need this measuring spoon set, a pinch = 2,000 FU) — Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme that dissolves excess proteins in the blood. Hal started taking it after he developed a massive blood clot out of the blue. This link tells that story and describes how FAST Nattokinase worked. We’ll be taking this for life. It’s cheap and easy. It’s also part of the Spike Detox protocol developed by Dr. Peter McCullough. Double duty :)

3. Aspirin this one — Aspirin has been used as a blood thinner for decades. It still works beautifully and is not dangerous or expensive. You can read the whole story of aspirin and how to take it at the blood clot link :) This is something else that we’ll now be taking forever.

That’s it. We take lots more vitamins, trust me, but these are the 3 to make sure you don’t die of a heart attack caused by a clogged artery!

Videos on these 3 supplements by actual doctors & other experts

Just so you know I didn’t make this stuff up, I’ve included many of the videos I watched, podcasts I’ve listened to. And there are LOTS more than the ones I included. I’m a research junkie.

Nattokinase is getting so much play today post ConVid 19 because of its ability to dissolve excess protein in the blood, it’s crazy. The place I get ours (link above for the powder) is almost sold out!

K2’s ability to reverse arteriosclerosis has been well known for decades, but statins are a huge money maker for big pharma and for doctors who get kickbacks for prescriptions so they ignore it.

Aspirin — even baby aspirin — was set aside many years ago in lieu of profitable blood thinners. Hal left the hospital with a script for Eliquis for a cool thousand a month and a list of side effects so horrific, it was suggested he wear a medical alert bracelet. Um, no thank you.

Take a listen/watch below. Have fun!!!

Aspirin the wonder drug with Danny Roddy and Kitty Blomfield. Both Danny & Kitty are Ray Peat followers and I follow them!

Lumbrokinase, nattokinase, Serrapeptase: which one? Here’s a good comparison. (HINT: I take a combo Serrapeptase for scar tissue & Nattokinase for clearing excess proteins in the blood. Hal takes Nattokinase to dissolve blood clots.)

This video explains why I take the road less traveled when it comes to income. I spent the first 20 years of my adult life working for others (temp, bartending, waitress, the usual). Not a lot of money but enough for a fun time on the west end of Duval. While I was young and carefree living on an island at the S'most point in the US, it was still hard to miss the fact that there is a ceiling on a "working for others" income...

I grew up (a little tiny bit), got married (to my boss... there's a fun story), and became a real estate broker so I could "work for myself". Bahahaha. On call 24/7/365, I made a TON of money but, alas, no time to truly enjoy it.

Hurricane Wilma hit Key West October 24, 2005 and changed everything. Suddenly, nobody was buying resort real estate in a drowned town.

Cue running to Costa Rica where we lived on savings and reduced income for 5 years, basically spending our retirement on a wild adventure with our sons. No regrets.

When we got back to the states, we had to ask: what are we willing to sacrifice to make a living? Out of necessity, my first job back was as a traveling seminar leader. I traveled 2-3 weeks a month leading biz skills seminars for professionals who were only in the auditorium to look good for the boss. The money was decent, but a year into that, I quit... That time away from home and soul sacrifice was too huge.

There had to be something else!!! I followed my gut, borrowed the money, and become a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. I didn't know what that would look like but I knew helping people get healthy was my jam. The money would have to come!

That was in 2016. Today, I have a health business created from scratch with the help of friends, making soooo many new friends along the way!

I educate and deliver farm fresh food to foodies in the central Bluegrass. This is a get rich really really slowly scheme but it's rewarding in so many other ways.

I also coach people (mostly women and mostly for free) on how to reclaim their health.

To support both of those endeavors, I make a few hundred dollars a month as an affiliate, working 2-4 hours a day promoting clean, effective products for weight loss, nutrition, makeup, and skincare. Just like all those celebrity doctors do: Berg, Gundry, Food Babe, Shawn Baker, Ken Berry, Erin & Joe (Mercola, y'all).

I do the same as them, working with a phenomenal 43yo global certified B Corp. A B Corp has proven its commitment to the planet and people before profits. Less than .002% of companies in the world have earned the B Corp certification.

I am committed to my clients, providing the best service possible (one of the seminars I led, lol!). If you know anyone looking for clean makeup, clean nutrition, or to lose weight or clear up skin issues, skip the celebrities — I'll happily take that referral!

Because I talk to so many young moms and grandmas needing money, hating that they can't afford good food -- I mean, have you seen what a coupon gets you? What WIC pays for? The "free" lunch at school? What food stamps buy? If you want out of that rut, to make an income on your terms, let's talk. A 20 minute phone call will give you all the info you need to decide.

I'm on fire, y'all. I am grateful and truly blessed to have stumbled into this niche. You are invited to join me, either as client or colleague! Text me at 859-715-1400, I’d love to help.

TIMELINE

• Monday he was fine, leg a little stiff.

• Wednesday he was in pain, leg feeling very swollen and sore. I suspected blood clot because there was no injury, nothing to explain the pain. I had never researched blood clots, neither of us had ever had one, but that just seemed like the right call.

• Friday he could not walk without terrible pain

• Saturday he did an ultrasound. I heard the ultrasound technician gasp when she saw it — it went from his groin to his ankle and was extremely painful.

• Saturday night we went to the hospital because EVERYONE said he could die… Which he could have, but we don’t trust hospitals or the “care” they give.

• In hospital 30 hours, they gave him IV Heparin, then Lovenox, 3 shots, one every 12 hours. The drugs were all anti-coag/platelet to stop the clot from getting bigger or having parts break off which is what kills you: pieces go to the heart/lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.

• When we asked what makes the clot dissolve, we got the exact same answer word for word from everyone we asked: “Your body will absorb it.” Nobody knew HOW but they all knew this would happen.

• He left the hospital Monday in the exact same pain he came in with.

• He also left with a scrip for Eliquis at $1000/month which does not dissolve the clot but is simply more anti-coag/platelet. I did a lot of research and concluded that Eliquis is the new Xarelto which was the new warfarin which was the new aspirin. Hal started taking 3 reg aspirin/day.

• I was already taking Serrapeptase for scar tissue and knew about Nattokinase which dissolves excess protein in the blood. All the top C19 docs recommend Nattokinase for dissolving clots if you’ve had the jab or C19 (which McCullough calls the “clotting virus”). Dr. Ryan Cole has some good info on Nattokinase and clots. He says docs have been using it for years to dissolve clots after long flights.

• Hal still takes 3 aspirin everyday (I take 2) plus Nattokinase 2x day (am and pm). MUST be taken on an empty stomach or else it switches from being a proteolytic enzyme to a digestive enzyme.

He also left with a bill for $30K which Medicare paid. At 65, you are forced to accept Medicare or else you don’t get SS. What a racket.

Results & Resources

Within 3 days of coming home and starting Nattokinase (which we had), the pain was gone. Within 7 days, the swelling was gone. None of it has come back.

We both still take aspirin (we take this brand because it’s supposed to have the least additives). He takes Nattokinase (this is what he takes), I still take Serrapeptase (this is what I take).

ASPIRIN

IMO, aspirin is a must for everyone, boomers especially. Bloomberg did an article in 2013 stating that if we boomers knew how well aspirin worked to stop all manner of illness and took it everyday, we’d break the pension system because we’d live so long. (If there’s a paywall, hit reply or comment below and I’ll send you the article.)

HOW TO TAKE ASPIRIN

DISCLAIMER: Aspirin famously “causes” stomach issues. But researcher Georgi Dinkov says there are no studies that confirm a stomach/aspirin connection. There is also evidence that your body adapts to aspirin use so there MAY be some issues in for the first 3-4 days. Best to take with food, although we don’t always. We’ve been taking for a several months now and notice nothing.

This is how we take it:

• Put aspirin in 3-4 oz water. I take 2 regular (650 mg) per day, Hal take 4, 2 am and 2 pm (1300). We use GeriCare aspirin because it has the least additives.

• Add 1/2 tsp baking soda to buffer.

• We add 2 scoops (2,000 mg) vitamin C powder. The baking soda buffers this, too, which takes away the tart taste.

• Blend (I use a frother)

• When fizzing stops, drink the clear water leaving any white residue at the bottom. (With GeriCare, we don’t get any residue.)

TODAY

He’s fine, no pain, no clots. If we weren’t still taking Ignatia for anxiety, we’d both be anxious that this could happen again. Georgi’s research says aspirin will keep the clots at bay. Hal’s planning to have another ultrasound and I’ll update here.
