FOOD and nutrition: The good, the bad, and the ugly, including some excellent recipes and commentary about certain types of food/meals, which have proven to be of benefit. Also some harsh warnings about food and food-related products, which are over-sold, over-bought and over-used, many of which raise questions as to their safety and nutritional value.

Bioelectric Information About Fats and Oils

Study shows the most widely consumed edible oil in the US could be bad for the brain – and that oil from soybeans genetically engineered to be healthier is just as bad

People do not get very much information about fats and oils. Many people consume them every day but may not know if the kind they are consuming is good for their health. There are four different common oils (fats) that people consume. They are polyunsaturated oils, monounsaturated oils, regular saturated fats (oils), and highly saturated fats (oils). Many of them have some good points, but some may be harmful to your health.

The chemical structure of all fats (oils) is a chain of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. The four main configurations, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, regular saturated, and highly saturated fats react in the body in different ways. Continue reading →

What is the Most Important Organ in Your Body?

Forget cutting back calories: The tapeworm diet was all the rage in the 1800s

You are probably going to say, your heart. That may very well be true, but many physicians and researchers say it is the bacteria colony in your small intestine. It is not an organ but controls body functions, health, digestion, energy, body cell health, organ health, the immune system, heart rhythm, brain functions, and in many cases, longevity. Many very important factors are needed to keep your small intestinal colony healthy and well. It all depends on YOUR DIET. What kind of diet do you eat?

Did you know that a certain gut bacteria ratio is needed for you to stay healthy, well, and create maximum energy? There has to be a certain mix of good bacteria (80 percent) and bad bacteria (20 percent) to balance the colony’s health. Continue reading →

A Robin in the Garden

How can a person be so lucky as to wake up in the long days of June with the sparrows singing in the open bedroom window? God has given us these long days to enjoy the wonderful world around us that we live in. Everything around us is vibrant, and with beautiful flowers, bushes, and trees. There is a sparrow bush next to the house behind to our bedroom window with about 20 families of sparrows that are making the wonderful sounds we hear when we wake up.

How lucky we are to live in the beautiful northwest United States where we have the opportunity to see, smell, and hear the beauty around us. The other night I saw and heard a barn owl as it sat on the roof of the house next door. That brought thoughts of the people in Venezuela who, because of their communist dictator president, are not as lucky as we are. Venezuela has the resources to be one of the richest nations in the world, but they have even had to eat their birds, cats, dogs, rats, and other small animals to keep from starving.

The Health Benefits of Coffee

Drinking coffee has been linked to a reduced risk of all kinds of ailments, including Parkinson’s disease, melanoma, prostate cancer, even suicide.

Americans sure love their coffee. Even last spring when the pandemic shut down New York, nearly every neighborhood shop that sold takeout coffee managed to stay open, and I was amazed at how many people ventured forth to start their stay-at-home days with a favorite store-made brew.

One elderly friend who prepandemic had traveled from Brooklyn to Manhattan by subway to buy her preferred blend of ground coffee arranged to have it delivered. “Well worth the added cost,” she told me. I use machine-brewed coffee from pods, and last summer when it seemed reasonably safe for me to shop I stocked up on a year’s supply of the blends I like. (Happily, the pods are now recyclable.)

Why a Food Rating System is Very Important for Your Health, Welfare, and Longevity

90 percent of all people in the U.S. have little knowledge of food nutritional values and the many factors in buying great foods that increases their health and well-being. With the educational system these days being very tardy on teaching nutrition ratings and food values, there is a void in much of the formal information needed to buy valuable nutritious food that contains necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes needed to keep a healthy body. Also, many people and families buy foods that they read about, what their parents bought or food ideas that their friends suggest in buying their foods. Continue reading →

How Diet and Inflammation Affect Colon Cancer

The discomfort of colonoscopy is miniscule to the suffering of terminal colon cancer

It’s been said “We are what we eat,” or “garbage in garbage out.” Less catchy advice might be “Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, rather than a pro-inflammatory one.” It could make the difference in the likelihood of developing a malignancy of the large bowel. Not many people realize that if you take away skin cancers, colon cancer is the third most common malignancy in North America.

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Oncology, points out a strong association between chronic inflammation and the risk of colon cancer. Continue reading →

You Don’t Need Meat–Unless It’s Synthetic

I am glad I do not live in the state of Oregon. It is beginning to sound more and more like the state on the East Coast that my family and I managed to escape from decades ago now. The political climate there was so far to the left you could cut it with a knife. That’s not to say there were not good people there. There were, and are. But the good folks there that were patriotic and had genuine concerns about the direction their state was headed in were a minority. Continue reading →

The Soil, Energy, Cations, Anions and Lemons

The energy in our bodies is directly related to the soil. The soil produces the 67+ minerals and nutrients that are needed in our bodies. The most wonderful thing is that these minerals and nutrients are related to our body cells and the energy our body needs to operate, digest foods, move around, think, and most of all, feed our intestinal bacteria so we can stay healthy and live a long happy, great quality of life.

Battling cancer and preventing cancer recurrence with cruciferous vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables may hold the key to stopping the progression and recurrence of cancer. Researchers at South Dakota State University (SDState) reported that a compound from cruciferous vegetables called phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) can halt tumor formation and metastasis in mice bearing transplanted cancer stem cells (CSCs). PEITC can also stop the proliferation of cultured CSCs, which are heavily implicated in tumor recurrence. These findings suggest that PEITC could greatly benefit cancer patients and survivors.

Do you have a magnesium deficiency?

Here are common signs and symptoms…

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a key role in more than 300 chemical reactions in the human body. For instance, muscles need magnesium to properly contract. Nerves also use magnesium to send and receive signals. Magnesium keeps the heart beating steadily and strengthens immunity.

Unfortunately, despite the importance of magnesium to overall health, many people miss out on their daily recommended intake of magnesium due to an unhealthy diet. Having constantly high levels of stress, a gastrointestinal disease and alcohol dependence may also put an individual at a greater risk of magnesium deficiency and its health complications.

Butt Out Of Society’s Kitchens, Bill Gates

~ Forewords ~
I have viewed Billy Gates as one of the many beasts that rise out of the sea – serving the agenda of the Anti-Christ’s plans for the Great Tribulation time. His long known plans to DEPOPULATE the population of the earth (destroying what God created) – his tech business to spy on all (God knows ALL we think and say without any tech assistance). Most all those who have managed to amass great sums of money have done so because they sold their souls to Satan – it has been that way for many centuries as Satan works his deception to all he can. Take a good look at all those who are the wealthiest men in the world. Any of them preach or teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Or, do they push for their ability to MAKE money? Continue reading →

Dietary Mistakes People Make that may Shorten Their Life

Yesterday I got a very interesting and intriguing 12-page article from Professor Andrew Hague, the president of the CellSonic Corporation, maker of the VIPP hydroelectric therapy machine. The name of his article is “How to get Ill, Stay Ill, and die.” This was quite a co-incident since I had already started my weekly column.

Some of the very interesting thoughts in his article explain just as the title reads.

1. Never drink water.

2. Drink all drinks with sugar /alcohol, diet soda, or all three. Continue reading →

Are you hungry enough yet?

Green and good for you: These proven diets are key to preventing heart problems in women with diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (or diabetes mellitus) affects one-fourth of Americans 65 years old and above; 68 percent of these patients will die of heart disease, while 16 percent will die of stroke.

However, a study has showed that three alternative diets can help older women with Type 2 diabetes keep the disease’s complications such as heart attack and stroke at bay… (Continue to full article)

21 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Green Tea
According to the U.S. tea market statistics, tea is the second-most consumed beverage in the world. Just in 2018, the global tea production amounted to 5.8 million metric tons. But, amidst all the produced tea, green tea is considered one of the healthiest.

Green tea is one of the least processed teas that is made from the unoxidized leaves. It is the reason why the level of antioxidants and polyphenols is the highest in green tea… (Continue to full article)

Benefits of Gelatin Rich Homemade Bone Broth (Recipes + VIDEO)
If you are like most modern households, you probably toss meat bones once the protein portion is used up. If this describes your kitchen routine, you might want to rethink that. Did you know that you make about a gallon of homemade, mineral-rich bone broth simply by simmering them in filtered water? Add a bit of vinegar and a few chopped veggies and you will add even more flavor and nutrition.

Making traditional bone broth should be a regular and hopefully weekly part of your kitchen routine… (Continue to full article)

How the Right Foods May Lead to a Healthier Gut, and Better Health
A diet full of highly processed foods with added sugars and salt promoted gut microbes linked to obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

Analyzing the diets, health and microbiomes of more than a thousand people, researchers found that a diet rich in nutrient-dense, whole foods supported the growth of beneficial microbes that promoted good health. But eating a diet full of highly processed foods with added sugars, salt and other additives had the opposite effect, promoting gut microbes that were linked to worse cardiovascular and metabolic health… (Continue to full article)

Say Goodbye to Medical Curcumin!
Curcumin is the most important ingredient of the Indian herb turmeric. You probably have it in your kitchen as a yellow spice. From a health standpoint, this herb is a miracle. It is tremendously anti-inflammatory and has so many health benefits it would take a book to list them all.

Naturally the drug industry wishes it could be patented as a drug. That won’t happen, because natural foods generally cannot be patented. FDA to the rescue! The agency has just ruled that curcumin cannot be used in a compounded medication—that is in a medication prepared just for you by a specialized pharmacy… (Continue to full article)
