Startling Truths about Chemotherapy

(Tom: My two conclusions from reading this are:

  1. Best to adopt a diet and lifestyle that minimizes your risk of your body developing cancer and
  2. It is best to do your homework in advance so you have the luxury of gathering data and making an informed decision while not in shock from a diagnosis.

    Over the last 17 years I have gathered a lot of data on different addresses to cancer and included them in my book: https://howtolivethehealthiestlife.com/)

Soaking In Baking Soda Removes Pesticides

Soaking In Baking Soda Removes Pesticides

A study found that soaking fruits and vegetables in a mix of 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 cups of water for 12–15 minutes removes 96–99% of pesticides, like thiabendazole and phosmet, from their surface.

This works much better than just rinsing with water or vinegar.

Baking soda’s alkaline nature helps break down and wash away pesticide residue on foods like apples, cucumbers, and grapes, making it a safe and cheap way to clean produce at home.

Quick Tip: Soak your fruits and veggies in the baking soda mix for 12–15 minutes, then rinse them with clean water.

Halloween Candy Caution

Halloween Candy Caution

Halloween night. You’re handing out candy. A piece falls. You don’t notice.
I do.
I’m a fox. I eat it. It tastes amazing. My body shuts down.

What Halloween candy does to wildlife:
Chocolate = toxic (theobromine poisoning causes seizures, death)
Xylitol (sugar-free candy) = lethal to canines (foxes, coyotes, dogs)
Wrappers = intestinal blockages
Sugar overload = diabetes, liver failure in wild animals

The Facts:
Halloween is the #1 day for wildlife poisoning incidents
Veterinary ER visits for wild animal ingestion spike 400% Nov 1-3
Even small amounts of chocolate can kill a fox or raccoon
Animals can’t process artificial sweeteners

What happens after Halloween:
Kids drop candy on sidewalks
You throw leftovers in outdoor trash
Wind scatters wrappers into parks and woods
Wildlife eats it

What you should do:
Pick up dropped candy immediately
Secure outdoor trash cans
Don’t dump leftover candy in parks/woods
If you see a sick animal, call wildlife rescue (not animal control)

Your “fun-size” candy bar is a lethal dose for me.

Pure White and Deadly – John Yudkin was right — 50 years ahead of his time

Pure White and Deadly

Back in the 1970s, Dr. John Yudkin warned that sugar, not saturated fat, was the true dietary villain behind rising rates of heart disease.

His message was buried by the sugar industry and overshadowed by Ancel Keys’ “diet-heart hypothesis,” which blamed butter, eggs, and red meat.

Now, decades later, modern research confirms what Yudkin tried to tell us — that fructose and refined sugars drive metabolic dysfunction:
Insulin resistance
High uric acid and hypertension
Lipid overproduction and inflammation

All of which fuel atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Despite lower dietary fat and cholesterol intake since the 1970s, heart disease rates haven’t fallen — but our sugar consumption has skyrocketed.

Turns out the problem wasn’t the steak on our plate… it was the sugar in our cup.
