Just Go Barefoot! EARTHING: Fast-Track to Health

When was the last time you walked barefoot on the ground? Can you remember the feeling of sweet-scented grass underfoot, or soft sand squishing up through your toes? ‘Earthing’, also called ‘Grounding’ just means connecting to the Earth’s natural frequency. Earthing is simply the act of being ON the ground, or wearing leather soles, not rubber. It is based on the science that the earth is negatively charged and has an abundant, never-ending supply of negative ions which benefit ...

Why do many people sleep poorly and don't know why? But when they turn the WiFi OFF before bed, they enjoy refreshing deep sleep? Aha! That's because WiFi tells your brain that it is DAYTIME!

Myth-Busting “Natural” Sweeteners. It’s about FRUCTOSE, darlin’!

BEWARE when a sweetener claims to be "natural" or "low glycemic". Don't be fooled. Sugar is sugar no matter what form it's in. Here's a little-known secret to help you see clearly through marketing hype: The two primary sugars in foods are glucose and fructose. Most sweeteners are a mixture of both. Both fructose and glucose taste fabulously delicious! Yet they're both the toxic root of obesity and metabolic mayhem in the body. Together these two sugars cause or exacerbate most of our modern chronic diseases. ...

How Much Sun is Too Much?

Is Sunlight Dangerous? For the past 50 years, doctors say we should NEVER be in direct sunlight or risk skin cancer. As a child I basked all summer with no sunscreen. I got sunburns, peeled, and went out again. Basal cell spots taught me a lesson - but what's the lesson? Maybe it's not so simple and one-dimensional as "Sunburn causes Cancer". What if skin cancer is caused by SOMETHING ELSE or has SEVERAL CAUSES? And what's a good rule on SENSIBLE sun exposure? Surprising research ...

5 Doctors Say Uric Acid Caused by Fructose

These five important doctors say Uric Acid is a main player in our epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease. They say there are three things that raise uric acid levels: #1 Top offender is FRUCTOSE. #2 is ALCOHOL, and #3 is PURINES. However, by far the biggest challenge is FRUCTOSE, due to its overpowering presence in our diet. Many of our chronic diseases are associated with high uric acid levels. According to Dr. David Perlmutter, Uric Acid is a common thread linking our ...

Uh Oh! Coconut Sugar is 100% Sugar!

Terrible news! Coconut sugar is 100% sugar! You won't feel a glycemic rush, as coconut sugar is relatively low in glucose. But here's the rub: The rest of the sugar is fructose! It's 100% sugar! Just like HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), fructose in coconut sugar is a liver toxin that causes high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes (Yup, our top epidemics). Fructose doesn't give you a glycemic jolt. Instead it quietly and insidiously fills your liver with bad lipid (fat) deposits and ...

How Healthy is Your Breakfast Cereal?

A healthy breakfast means a bowl of cereal. Right? After all isn't this an American tradition? Nope. It’s actually a very recent marketing invention. A tiny mistake in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1870 changed the face of breakfast forever. Harvey Kellogg (recognize the name?) was the director of a popular health retreat. Kellogg was said to treat his guests with many bizarre experiments for health improvement. One of his invention was a whole grain corn breakfast cereal served ...

These foods may not TASTE sweet, but they CAUSE DISEASE because they IMMEDIATELY become SUGAR: Wheat, Rice, Corn, Potatoes, All ...

AVOID: Top 3 Foods of Inflammation & Heart Disease

Shall we play a game? In a small bowl mix together a few teaspoons of sugar, a handful of any flour, and a splash of vegetable oil. Add a few drops of water and stir well. Let your slurry sit at body temperature for a few hours. It will harden into a perfect rubbery superglue. These three foods accumulate in your body as sticky mucus that makes you old and tired. THIS is the root of inflammation and auto-immune disease. These three ingredients contain no nutrition, and are the #1 cause of our ...

Be a Ninja Grocery Shopper!

A Ninja grocery shopper knows how to read labels and can see through spurious claims in fake foods. Most people in grocery stores are unaware, guided by cravings, colors, or store layout. Uh Oh!

History of Breakfast – What Happened to Our Food?

In times of total uncertainty, we need a good laugh! What if you could trace our modern diseases back to the discovery of the New World and industrialized food? Tongue in cheek, I'm not joking. Let's just trace the history of our beloved first meal of the day, in light of world money and food addictions. Yep. Especially sugar. For sure, breakfast wasn’t always corn flakes or toast with jam. Nowadays, what we eat is determined much by personal habit, but at what cost? Why are ALL the top ...

Why I Became Paleo-Vegetarian

I am a NATURE GIRL. There’s a perfection in NATURE. The complex eco-system of LIFE on our planet is so wondrous, especially the way it is able to maintain BALANCE. Anything leftover, Nature intelligently recycles into herself with ants or bacterial decomposition back into the Earth. So, even if our human activities twist Nature out of whack, the pendulum of fate will always miraculously bring it back to a balanced state. Ha Ha! I'm waiting impatiently for that right now! Why did I become ...

Still Counting Calories & Carbs?

We love to measure things. We hope by counting Nutrition Facts we can know how GOOD a food is for us. But how effective is it? What about the vast nutritional gap between the three realms of food: Organic vs. "Conventional" vs. GMO? What's the effect of chemicals on complete nutrition? Obviously, this will vary depending on the type of seed, minerals and microbes in the soil, growing conditions, and freshness of the food. Ha Ha! Did you know that calorie and carb counts are based on average ...

Why Would Anyone Censor the Web?

I'm passionately interested in health, and I use the internet for research. While I don't consider all web info reliable, many studies and research articles are fine sources. I use a variety of search engines: Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yandex, Brave, and Gibiru. I like to compare results on different search engines - and recently noticed huge differences! What's really happening there? I'm not sure yet, but my eyes are open, so I'm sharing it with you all. How would a search engine try to ...

Best SEARCH ENGINES for Independent Thinkers

We live in a world on fire with differing opinions. What do you look for in a search engine? If you're intent on seeing all sides of an issue to make up your own mind, you'd better be VERY selective. Are you guided by your own inner compass and integrity? Or do you prefer a "sanitized" search that follows the government or MSM party line? I'm keenly interested in health. When I'm doing in-depth research, which search engine should I use? I value my personal thoughts. I ...

Maple Syrup LOADED with SUGAR! The devil is in the details.

We LOVE to drizzle gobs of maple syrup on Paleo Pancakes! Because it's pure sap from maple trees - Right? Uh Oh! Sorry, the answer is NO! But maple syrup is unprocessed - Right? The answer is again NO! Maple syrup low in sugar - Right? NO NO NO! Maple won't acidify my body pH like sugar. SORRY, IT ACIDIFIES THE SAME AS SUGAR! As usual, the devil is in the details. This won't be my most popular post. Ha Ha! Here goes! Here's the ELEPHANT in the Room! As we generously smother our ...

BOMBSHELL! INFLAMMATION Causes Disease, NOT Cholesterol

WHY do so many people eat a "healthy" diet yet have high cholesterol? What exactly is cholesterol, anyway? Is it BAD, BAD, BAD like we hear? Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by every cell of the body. It holds our cell walls firm. In fact, without cholesterol we would be soft and fall apart. One of cholesterol's roles in the body is to travel to inflamed areas to repair tiny breaks or lesions that irritate tissues, internal or external. For example, cholesterol makes a hard scab on ...

Are You Taking Your Mineral Drops?

People with diabetes often have a deficiency of chromium and zinc. Low magnesium has been linked to myocardial ischemia and cancer. Microbiome imbalance is everywhere inside us and around us. Much of this comes from chemicals in industrial food and soil. Minerals are often a forgotten element, yet they are fundamental requirements for life. Years ago, our soil was rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes. Modern chemical farming kills soil microbes and depletes minerals in plants. To make ...
