This is vitally important. I watched a video recently where the doctor said he has tracked the rise in degenerative disease to the rise in seed oils. His take was that 85% of our health issues stem from seed oils, 10% from sugar and 5% from wheat.
Board Member of Large German Health Insurance Company Sounds the Alarm: Side Effects of COVID Vaccines Much Higher Than Official Reports
For the first time, the figures from a large German health insurance association are available on the side effects of Covid vaccines. The board of directors of BKK ProVita, Andreas Schöfbeck, had the data of millions of insured persons of the BKK group analyzed. The total number of side effects is therefore many times higher than those reported by the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI). In a video call with WELT, Schöfbeck said on Wednesday: “The numbers determined are significant and urgently need to be checked for plausibility.”
On the Great Green Wall, And Being Useful
As I argue at length in my book Climate: A New Story, the environmental movement as a whole seriously misapprehends the nature of the present ecological crisis. The biggest threat is not CO2-induced warming—that is merely the most convenient threat, the one that facilitates technocratic and financialized solutions. The biggest threat is the reduction and destruction of ecosystems: soil, oceans forests, wetlands, and so on, at all scales. Overfishing, deforestation, mining, tree farms, industrial agriculture, toxic pollution, draining wetlands, coastal development, urbanization, and electromagnetic pollution degrade the living organs of our living Earth, rendering her unable to maintain balance.

Anti-Aging – EGCG, Quercetin and Fisetin
(Tom: I read an interesting email pitch for an anti-aging supplement, clicked through to the insufferably tedious video sales pitch but came away with some good information about nutrients that help slow the aging process. Of course most of them are in my top bars and powders but you might like to read the following.)
Who wouldn’t want to stop the clocks in our bodies from speeding up and causing all kinds of health issues as the years go by? Or at least slow that process down a bit so we can enjoy more time with our loved ones. According to promising new research, that hope might not be as far fetched as you think.
Fisetin, a flavonoid found in several fruits and vegetables, has previously been recommended for Alzheimer’s patients to maintain healthy brain function. A study from 2014 reported that the addition of fisetin resulted in anti-inflammatory effects that help keep synapses in the brain firing as they should. Now, scientists from the University of Minnesota Medical School claim there are also anti-aging benefits in fisetin for all of us, not just Alzheimer or dementia patients.
In a press release published on October 2, 2018, the researchers explain that as we get older, we accumulate damaged cells that set off inflammatory alarm bells inside us. Unfortunately, our bodies are not as great at cleaning up those cells when we get older, which is what causes so many of the issues that come with aging.
However, the release goes on to say that their results suggest fisetin is able to extend our health — even when applied toward the end of life, ultimately helping us live longer, happier lives. Studies will continue to test these results for the best treatment options and supplements, but you can give your cells a boost by adding more fisetin-rich foods to your daily meals. Luckily, there are a ton of delicious options for you to choose from: Strawberries have the highest amount of naturally occurring fisetin, but you can also add more mangoes, cucumbers (with the skin), apples, kiwi, peaches, grapes, tomatoes, and onions to your diet for some extra fisetin. Eating your way to a longer life is definitely news we can all get behind!

Researchers in a 2018 study identified 30 nutrients that help sustain longevity. They claim the key superstars are: Vitamin K, Vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and selenium.

(Tom: As well as the above, Quercetin and EGCG (from green tea) are also strong players in promoting autophagy. As are intermittent fasting and HIT (High Intensity Training).)

BREAKING: Vaccination Mandates for Soldiers and Officers Illegal – Court rules in favour of NZDF and Police
In a landmark victory, the High Court has ruled in favour of a group of Police officers and Defence Force members who applied for a judicial review of the government vaccine mandates imposed on them.
Because of the vaccine mandate imposed upon them, more than 100 uniformed professionals were due to be dismissed from March 1, 2022.
However, the High Court has ruled that the mandate was, in fact, unlawful.
The following was provided in a statement to The Daily Examiner:
“The Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety said that he had made the mandate to ensure continuity of services provided by the NZDF and Police, but there was evidence that he had been told by public health experts that there was no requirement for a vaccine mandate on public health grounds.
The Court agreed that the mandate imposed on members of Police and NZDF limited their rights, and that the government had not demonstrated that this limitation was justified in a free democratic society.”
Keeping people safe is what drives the members of Police and NZDF that challenged this mandate. However, the way that the mandate was imposed by the government is unjustified. It applied to everyone, including people who were working from home, and those who had genuine personal reasons to decline the vaccine.
The vaccine mandate is wrong. It does not allow consideration of exceptional individual circumstances. The Vaccine Order does not allow other ways to keep people safe, for example, regular testing or working from home.
This case is not about being “anti-vaccine”. The police officers and NZDF members who challenged this mandate care about the health of all New Zealanders. By making the vaccine mandate in the way that they have, this government has turned what should be a health issue into an issue of fundamental human rights.
Matt King, former National Party MP and Police Officer spoke to The Daily Examiner:
“This is a massive day for us and a massive day for New Zealand. This has set a precedent for all other workforces and strengthens the cases against vaccine mandates across all sectors. Now that this mandate has been ruled unlawful, the effects of it will be reversed, and those NZDF and Police personnel who lost their jobs will now be able to return to work.”
The Daily Examiner also spoke to one of the applicants, Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Yardley. He said that he was ecstatic, not just for himself, but for the 100+ police staff who were affected by the mandate, as well as equal numbers in the NZDF. Mr. Yardley said that although at times it seemed the success of the case would be ‘touch and go’, the applicants had a strong, clear legal case, and this result has shown that the judiciary system is independent as it is meant to be. He said that from day one of police college, new recruits are taught about personal rights, and this was what this case was all about. He himself lost his job as a result of the mandates, but expects to return to work soon.
