Reasons to Detox

1. Toxins prevent the absorption and utilization of nutrients so they create nutrient deficiencies. If you have a bunch of toxins in your body they are going to continue to create deficiencies that taking supplements does not fully address.

So to nourish a nutrient deficient body that has toxic overload you need to address the toxins for the nutrients to be properly absorbed and utilized.

2. Toxins have been shown to harm the DNA in our cells. Damaged DNA causes a cell to start reproducing out of control and become a cancer tumour.

3. With proper absorption of nutrients and less chance of cancer, you should start to feel a whole lot better!

Wrong And Right Ways To Detox
If you try to detox a nutrient deficient body just be eating some foods that latch onto and remove toxins, you run the risk of overloading an already overworked liver, overwhelming your drainage pathways and having the toxins reabsorbed in your gut.

To detox safely and effectively you first need to perform 5 actions:

0. Stop Harming Yourself
Eliminate as much as possible any vector of toxin intake. How do you reduce your toxin intake? Stop smoking, eliminate or severely curtail your alcohol intake, clean up your diet, filter your water and, if possible, your air, ditch wearing artificial fabrics and replace them with organic cotton and wool.

1. Nourish Yourself
Improve nutrition to boost the body’s ability to deal with detox stresses.

2. Finish the Half-Done Job
After the liver has removed toxins from the blood it puts them and bile in the gall bladder from where they go into the digestive tract. If there is insufficient binding agents in the food the toxins will get reabsorbed by the gut. Not good. So before and during your detox, to prevent existing and newly released toxins in the gut from being reabsorbed, take non-absorpable binders.

What are the non-absorpable binders that latch onto and remove toxins from the gut once the liver has processed them? Dietary fiber, Activated Charcoal, Bentonite Clay, Carbon Binders, Diamotaceous Earth, Zeolite etc.

3. Unclog The Drains
Consume some foods that open your drainage pathways (liver, gall bladder, lymphatic system) to increase throughput.

4. Love Your Liver
Boost your liver function to increase toxin processing capacity with herbs like Milk Thistle.

5. Deep Clean
Then detox from within and outside the cells with chelating agents.

Biological vs Chronological Age: What’s Your Real Age and Why It Matters!

Near the start of the 1969 film ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ is the memorable line, “I’m over the hill but it can happen to you. Every day you get older, now that’s a law.”

The rate at which you add birthdays is constant. One every year. Those birthdays add up to your chronological age.

The rate at which your body ages is variable. It is up to you. The decisions you make and the actions you take determine how quickly or slowly your body ages. If you do drugs, smoke, drink alcohol, consume a diet of processed foods and don’t exercise you age much faster compared to the clock. Your biological age will be older than your chronological age.

Biological age is a more accurate measure of healthspan, or years lived in good health, than chronological age, and doesn’t directly correlate with wrinkles and gray hairs. Rapid agers experience a faster rate of functional deterioration relative to their chronological age.

There is a good amount of data on it at: https://thewellnesswatchdog.com/biological-vs-chronological-age/

Here’s a simple biological age calculator: https://bioagecalculator.com/ This one gives mine at 4 years less than my 72 years.

This one https://calculator-online.net/biological-age-calculator/ has double the questions and pegs my chronological age at 54.6 and predicts I’ll live to 103.

The Three Biggest Problems With Modern Medicine

Dr Bryan Ardis says the 3 primary problems in health care are these.

1. Health insurance has destryed our healthcare systems in America. It has stripped the rights of medical practitioners and healthcare professionals in every single sphere from being able to honestly and ethically practice medicine and healthcare with the patients. For any company who can tell a healthcare professional we will not cover this modality or this prescription medication or this therapy I think is evil and needs to be destroyed.

2. The specializing of medicine. When the medical profession decided to isolate their area’s organ systems and only look at one organ as a part of the human body is a massive problem. The entire body is a system and I think the entire body should be looked at by every health care professional as a whole.

3. The use of pharmaceutical drugs to mask symptoms and to be proposed and marketed as a treatment for any symptom or illness is a fraud. There is not a single symptom that a human being has ever had in their whole life, a fever, a cough, a sweat, a rash, a diarrhea, no one has ever had a symptom ever, not a cancer, that was ever caused by a drug deficiency…

…There are actually nutritional deficiencies that are created that lead to all disease outcomes and symptoms. And as long as you feed the body what it needs and take away from the body what is causing poison toxicity or immune suppression you can cure almost any disease but you have to change the enviroment in which your body’s pysiology and cells live in to change your experience of living.

…”To cure something is to return it back to its normal state and that is not what cancer treatment or pharmaceutical drugs are designed to do.”…

…In the book ‘The Only Answer to Cancer’ Dr. Leonard Coldwell writes that of all the patients he has seen in his 30+ years, 85% of every terminally diagnosed cancer patient he has seen have one sigular cause, it is one toxic emotional relationship to one human.

He promises his patients, “If you will cut that individual out of your life forever you can cure yourself of that disease within 12 weeks.” And for those that do, they reverse all their cancers.

For the other 15% of people who are also diagnosed with cancer he says there is an underlying toxic impact, from their diet, from things they are exposed to, from things they are putting on their body in the way of toxicities or toxins in cosmetics, you name it.

From an interview Dr Bryan Ardis gave Nathan Crane.

Ray Tomlinson and Email

Ray Tomlinson and Email

In 1971, a 30-year-old engineer named Ray Tomlinson sat at his terminal at Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) and changed communication forever.
Working on ARPANET, the precursor to today’s internet, Tomlinson faced a simple challenge: how could messages be sent between different computers on a network? At that time, electronic messages could only be sent to users on the same computer.
His breakthrough came with a simple but ingenious solution—using the @ symbol to separate the user name from the host computer name. This user@host format remains the global standard fifty years later.
Tomlinson’s first test message was sent between two computers sitting side by side in his lab. While he later admitted he couldn’t remember the exact content of that first message, he suggested it was probably something like “QWERTYUIOP” or “testing 123.”
What’s remarkable is that Tomlinson wasn’t assigned to create email. He developed it as a side project while working on other ARPANET protocols. His supervisor only learned about it after the fact.
The modern controversy surrounding email’s invention comes from Shiva Ayyadurai’s claim to have invented email in 1978. However, most computer historians maintain that Tomlinson’s 1971 innovation was the true birth of networked electronic mail.
While email has evolved dramatically since those early days, Tomlinson’s core innovation—enabling messages to travel between separate computers via a network—remains the foundation of electronic communication used by billions daily.

Mucus matters – it’s your body’s secret weapon

Woman Blowing Nose

Mucus might seem like an unappealing substance, but it’s essential for keeping us healthy. It works as the body’s “flypaper,” trapping dirt, debris, and pathogens before they can reach our lungs. Every day, we produce about 1.5 quarts of mucus that sweeps into the back of the throat and is swallowed, where stomach enzymes neutralize potential threats. Besides acting as a first line of defense, mucus helps to hydrate and protect various parts of the respiratory system.

Mitochondrial Imbalance Linked To 90 Percent Of Chronic Diseases

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are often called the power generators of human cells. They convert nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids that we obtain from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy source in our cells during metabolism.

At the same time, mitochondria are the core of human immunity, too. Healthy mitochondria effectively regulate immune responses, while mitochondrial dysfunction can damage immune cells, resulting in many chronic diseases and impaired cellular differentiation.

Are Shower Filters Worth It?

Winston Kao writes:
I am often asked for recommendations of shower filters.
I don’t have one. Why?
Several reasons:
1. The effectiveness of all water filters drops sharply when exposed to HOT water. Most people shower at temperatures above 120F. But that is the limit of temperatures at which most filters are rated.
2. Shower filters tend to be SMALL. Small means that the water lacks sufficient contact time with the filter media to effectively remove certain stubborn contaminants, especially chloramines and fluoride, which are common in most tap water in the U.S.
3. Shower filters may not contain the correct media to do the job even if we don’t consider the problems with hot water. Especially true of fluoride – I know of NO shower filter which contains materials that would effectively remove fluoride.
4. Shower filters vary widely in quality and I would hesitate to trust some of the cheap, Chinese-made filters.
5. Shower filters need to be changed frequently if they are to be worth anything. This jacks up the cost.
6. The “best” shower filters aren’t cheap. I have seen quotes of $200 to $300 or more to purchase a new unit, with a cartridge replacement cost of $150 or more, and the recommended replacement intervals of every 3 months! Cost for a year of ownership on the order of $800 isn’t a good deal, is it?
Paying so much for a filter which cannot remove chloramines and fluoride, two of the toughest and very harmful chemicals, makes no sense.
My solution is always to suggest one of two things:
1. Ideally, purchase and install an Ideal Earth whole-house water filter system. This way ALL of your water from every tap is clean! You can shower or bathe in very hot water without any problems, because the water is filtered BEFORE it goes to your water heater and then to your shower.
2. A few people have connected a filter in the bathroom COLD water supply line and then fed this already filtered water into one of those “on-demand” water heaters to supply the shower. I have designed custom bathrooom filter systems for this purpose for those who, for some reason, cannot get the whole-house filter system. The cost of this custom system works out to be very reasonable compared to the cost of the premium shower filters and their replacements. The MAIN point, though, is that this system will GET THE JOB DONE PROPERLY, while conventional systems will not.
