In a startling revelation, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been funneling millions of American taxpayer dollars into self-spreading vaccine research for nearly a decade.

• DMSO has unique therapeutic properties that address the root causes of various illnesses, including many skin-related issues
• DMSO protects the skin from damage (e.g., radiation, chemotherapy, freezing, blood loss) and promotes the healing of injuries like burns, chronic wounds, and surgical incisions
• It also addresses common dermatological conditions like hair loss, psoriasis, shingles, herpes, skin cancer, lichen sclerosis, acne, eczema, sunburn, and skin infections
• DMSO treats circulatory disorders such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins, venous and diabetic ulcers, and Raynaud’s
• DMSO also helps with issues such as nail problems, pruritus, mastitis, insect/animal bites, and skin growths. The article reviews how DMSO can be used for each of those conditions

I’ve had doctors tell me how effective Mounjaro is for weight loss. And now an Elon Musk story pops up.

In this article, I’ll tell you the two most important things they aren’t telling you about these wonder drugs.

This information could save your life.

If you are considering taking a GLP-1 inhibitor like Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc. this article is a must read.

I’ll show you why the benefits aren’t what you’ve been led to believe and how they downplay the risks.

Bottom line: I’d never take these drugs and I don’t think you should either.

Here’s the evidence and what they are hiding.

And I’ll tell you what I do for weight loss that is easy to execute on and that works. And it doesn’t have any of the downsides…

Just over eleven years ago I received an email from somebody whom I am helping. They told me for breakfast they had a rice puff.

At the time I replied:

Almost no nutrition in a rice puff and it is the most important meal of the day.

There is an old saying in my culture:
Eat like a king for breakfast,
a prince for lunch and
a pauper for dinner.

Most people these days do the opposite.

The reason it is good advice is that the body runs on the blood sugar or glucose it gets from converting the energy in carbohydrates. If it does not burn that energy it converts it into fat to store it.

A large breakfast gives you a store of energy to burn through the day. Eating a large meal at night does not allow the body a lot of time to convert the fuel to energy so it converts it to fat. Not that you are overweight, but a bigger and better quality breakfast would give you more energy through the day.

One client replied:

I love most of the stuff you put through Tom. I have to disagree with the big breakfast theory though.

The body is going through a natural detox from 4am – 12 noon so you shouldn’t be loading it full of complex carbs at that time…..or any clogging type of food.

The type of food most people choose to eat for breakfast would cause the body to use more energy in digesting it than it would give it in return.

Some very lightly steamed broccoli with butter and almonds is a perfect way to start the day. And/or a good healthy vegie juice as that’s the best way to get the nutrition we need from the vegies most won’t take the time to eat or will cook up and destroy the live enzymes and the limit the nutritional value they get from them.

My two cents worth…….

Have a great evening and thanks so much for the always informative newsletter

Cheers

As I reread this I recalled talking to a teacher who told me later in the school day she could tell you who ate breakfast and who didn’t based on their ability to pay attention. (The breakfast skippers were unable to stay focused.)

Just recently I forwarded a post from the Glucose Goddess on blood glucose wherein she recommending a low carb start to the day as it set the body up for lower blood sugar spikes.

All in all I think the above breakfast alternatives reinforce my long standing view that diet is not a “one size fits all” scenario, you need to become your own health researcher to work out what best suits your spirit/mind/body combination.

She was as famous for her drugs battle and rock and roll lifestyle as for her distinctive voice during the height of her fame with Fleetwood Mac.

And as Stevie Nicks returns on tour with the band, she reveals that she holds a 20-year grudge against the psychiatrist she claims prevented her from marrying and having children when he treated her for over eight years in her thirties.

The 65-year-old star accused her psychiatrist of being a gossip-hungry groupie who fed her high doses of valium to keep her coming back into his surgery.

Smoke point is not a reliable indicator of cooking oil safety; oxidative stability and PUFA content are the key factors in determining an oil’s suitability for cooking. Tallow and ghee are best for high heat, while butter and coconut oil are ideal for medium heat.

• The research highlights several biomarkers to predict exceptional longevity, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these indicators for health benefits
• Centenarians consistently maintain lower levels of glucose, creatinine and uric acid from their 60s, with very few having glucose levels above 6.5 mmol/L or creatinine levels above 125 µmol/L earlier in life
• The study highlights that biomarker differences appear long before death, indicating that genetics and lifestyle choices significantly influence longevity
• A large dataset of 44,636 Swedes was used in the study, providing robust insights into the factors contributing to living beyond a century
• The study reveals a gender disparity in exceptional longevity, with women comprising 84.6% of the centenarians studied, highlighting biological advantages in female aging

• Alzheimer’s disease affects over 50 million people worldwide, with poor sleep being a significant risk factor
• Disrupted circadian rhythms are common in Alzheimer’s patients and exacerbate cognitive decline; when your melatonin levels are balanced, you support the synchronization of your brain’s internal clocks, which enhances overall brain function and resilience
• Clinical studies show melatonin supplementation improves cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients, with decreased melatonin levels serving as an early indicator of the disease
• Melatonin functions as a powerful antioxidant, supports immune system health, aids reproductive success, reduces post-operative pain and has anticancer properties; it also helps maintain the integrity of your blood-brain barrier, an important defense that keeps harmful substances out of your brain
• Natural melatonin production can be optimized through morning sunlight exposure, minimizing evening blue light, maintaining a dark bedroom and reducing stress before bedtime

• When using supplements, choosing the right ones for your need is only a part of the equation — taking them at the right time, with or without food, is also essential to maximize their effectiveness
• Water-soluble vitamins are best taken with food during daytime, while fat-soluble vitamins need to be taken with meals containing healthy fats, either in the day or evening
• Minerals like calcium, magnesium and zinc also have specific timing requirements — calcium works best in divided doses, magnesium before bed and zinc during daytime with food
• Fitness supplements, like beta-alanine, beetroot juice and creatine, require specific timing around workouts and meals to maximize their effectiveness for athletic performance and recovery
• While supplement timing enhances benefits, a nutritionally balanced diet remains the foundation of your health; whole foods provide the most bioavailable nutrients and reduce the need for supplements
