I’m not sure if it’s the COVID, the pasta I inhaled first thing this morning after six days of no eating or the chocolate croissant a friend dropped by for my birthday, but I took a solid two- hour nap outside in my lounger with just my feet poking out in the hot sunshine. And it was glorious.

I haven’t had morning coffee for a week now and I might try giving it up? I love the ritual of it so much but the caffeine headaches - if I don’t drink it first thing - are annoying. I can always pick it back up again if I miss it. I know I need to research diets that are good for preventing cancer but I’m just meh about it at the moment. It will come in time.

For anyone who has had COVID recently, how long did it take you to get over it? I never lost my taste or smell but it’s day seven and I am still coughing up so much crap, and feel tired- I did take Paxlovid so I’m hoping I don’t get the delay that can come with it. What was the timeline for you? I guess the chemo might have impacted my ability to get better faster but I don’t really know.

Buddy loves it when I hang out in the lounger, she jumps up as soon as I snuggle in and stays all day. Out of the two cats, she changes up her sleep spots the most - for months, she’s slept on the right corner of my bed at night but now she loves the guest room rug. Before that, it was the living room rug so I think we both love this routine because she gets lots of pets and attention, which she loves. Minnie is also loving pets so much more than she ever has but she keeps them very limited to when she’s on my bed. Other than that, she’s under her blanket on the outdoor sofa. I find their little rituals so endearing.

I might try to go see the comet again tonight, it was just so incredibly cool. I doubt it’s visible through the naked eye but maybe!

Comprehensive Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet: Health, Environment, and Beyond

Adopting a plant-based diet can have numerous benefits for your health, the environment, and animal welfare. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Health Benefits

Improved Heart Health

Plant-based diets are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats, which help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and blood pressure.

Reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension.

Weight Management

Plant-based diets tend to be lower in calories and high in fiber, promoting satiety and aiding weight loss or weight maintenance.

Studies show that vegetarians and vegans often have lower body mass indices (BMIs).

Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases

Lower incidence of type 2 diabetes: Whole grains, legumes, and vegetables regulate blood sugar levels.

Reduced cancer risk: Diets high in fruits, vegetables, and legumes contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that combat cancer.

Lower inflammation: Plant-based diets reduce chronic inflammation linked to arthritis, autoimmune conditions, and other illnesses.

Better Digestive Health

High fiber content supports gut health, promotes regular bowel movements, and prevents constipation.

Encourages a diverse gut microbiome, which is linked to improved immunity and mental health.

Longevity

Studies suggest that plant-based diets are associated with a longer lifespan due to the reduced risk of chronic illnesses.

Improved Mental Health

Nutrients like magnesium, folate, and antioxidants found in plant-based foods are associated with better mood regulation and reduced symptoms of depression.

Enhanced Nutrient Intake

A plant-based diet is rich in essential vitamins (e.g., C, E, and folate), minerals (e.g., potassium, magnesium), and phytonutrients that boost overall health.

Antioxidants in plant foods neutralize free radicals, reducing cellular damage and slowing aging processes.

Improved Bone Health

Contrary to common misconceptions, plant-based diets can support strong bones through calcium-rich foods like fortified plant milks, tofu, almonds, and leafy greens.

Plant-based sources of magnesium and potassium improve bone density.

Reduced Risk of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Diets high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds have been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline.

Omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts support brain health.

Boosted Immune System

Plant-based foods contain immune-supporting vitamins (e.g., vitamin C from citrus fruits) and zinc from legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Improved Skin Health

High intake of water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables hydrates the skin.

Antioxidants (e.g., beta-carotene in carrots, and lycopene in tomatoes) help reduce acne, prevent sun damage, and promote a glowing complexion.

10 shocking stories the media buried today.

The Vigilant Fox

Oct 24, 2024

#10 - Doctors who defied the COVID narrative compile 18 alternative cancer treatments that WORK!

These interventions are not only backed by science, but most of them are affordable or completely free.

The first anti-cancer therapy is glucose management through a ketogenic diet. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, the ketogenic diet helps starve cancer cells of their primary fuel source, glucose, according to 

The FLCCC Alliance

.

Second on the list is exercise. The report says that regular physical activity boosts immune function (critical for fighting cancer), reduces inflammation, and combats fatigue.

Vitamin D3 is also essential. The report says, “Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. Supplementing with vitamin D3 may support the immune system and help prevent cancer cell proliferation.”

One of the more interesting items on the list is the inclusion of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Ivermectin is believed to “interfere with cellular processes essential for cancer cell viability,” whereas Fenbendazole inhibits cancer cell division and induces cancer cell death.

Here are all 18 therapies ranked in order, as compiled by 

The FLCCC Alliance

:

1. Glucose Management & Keto Diet

2. Exercise

3. Stress Reduction, Sleep, and Sunshine

4. Vitamin D3

5. Propranolol

6. Melatonin

7. Metformin

8. Curcumin (Nanocurcumin)

9. Ivermectin

10. Mebendazole/Fenbendazole/Albendazole

11. Green Tea

12. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

13. Berberine

14. Atorvastatin or Simvastatin

15. Sildenafil, Tadalafil, and Vardenafil

16. Disulfiram

17. Ashwagandha

18. Itraconazole

Food Rant??

Imma be mad if y'all are being tricked by food companies so here....

Topics covered: instant coffee, "raw milk", double hydration / gatorade, and nitrate free meats

If you are stuck depending on instant coffee, you can get a Vietnamese Metal Coffee Filter to make coffee with hot water and coffee grounds. It's a great alternative if you only have hot water or don't have a coffee machine or stovetop. They range at about 7ish American dollars for a cheap one. Robusta beans are a form of coffee bean that is "cheaper" than other coffee beans and are often used in instant coffee, an already cheap product. The global prices for coffee beans can be pretty low compared to the labor of them, so being able to buy from a trusted company is really important. If you wanted to try a different coffee from a different brand, hopefully now you can. That or doing something like switching to tea or a less labor-intensive product can help farmers a lot. :D

This one is more influencers.... :/

A fortified food is a food where an important nutrient has been added, usually to prevent disease or malnourishment. For instance, many milks are fortified with Vitamin D. Vitamin D does not occur naturally in milk, BUT it is super important for the absorption of calcium. One of the main ways most people get calcium is through milk products, and Vitamin D deficiency is REALLY REALLLLLLY common. Decades ago, so was calcium deficiency which hurt a lot of people's health. To prevent that calcium in milk from not being absorbed, Vitamin D is added (usually by government regulation in a lot of places but it's also super common otherwise).

Plus, a lack of Vitamin D has other health problems associated with it like depression and cancer.

I hate when people say "raw milk" is healthier for you because it's "unprocessed". I'm so sad about it. A "process" is literally anything that people do to the ingredients of a food before selling it. "Unprocessed" means an unfinished product. Unprocessed foods aren't always dangerous or anything, but milk is kind of the exception. Yes, the chance of "raw milk" itself hurting you is pretty low, but you're avoiding all the things that make milk so healthy. People put so much effort into making you that processed milk. :'(

Unfortunately, "Nutritionist" isn't a designated term for a healthcare professional. Someone is often just trying to sell you a brand or lifestyle.

Read More (2): (both from NIH) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532266/ (VD Deficiency), https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6116165/ (About Fortified Milk)

Gatorade, Double Hydration, and other hydration drinks rely on Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT). ORT is a rehydration technique involving salt, sugar, and water which all need to be absorbed together. The solution can often be made at home.

Recipe: 6 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and one liter of water (it can vary from place to place because different areas have different intakes of salt and sugar in their diets but it's mostly the same)

It won't have the same flavor though. It's just important to know the basic science behind those drinks and that they're easy to make at home, so you can if you need.

Article Review - The Liver After Quitting Alcohol

Here is a quick summary/reflection on this article:

1. The liver is introduced as the largest internal organ and that it functions to break down toxins like alcohol. When alcohol is consumed excessively (more than 14 units), the liver undergoes the following changes: becomes fatty > healing from inflammation forming scars > many scars forming cirrhosis > liver fails > fatal outcomes. Symptoms associated with liver dysfunction are exhibited at late stages of impact.

2. Quitting alcohol has varying effects, depending on the condition of the liver. At the fatty stage, two to three weeks are sufficient to heal it back to normal appearance and function. For mild scarring/inflammation, a week can show significant improvements in the condition although full recovery may take months. With advanced cirrhosis or liver failure (where the liver is unlikely to cure itself completely), worsening of the condition or death could be prevented if followed through for many years. However, this withdrawal cannot be done suddenly, as it poses physical and psychological dangers and a medical professional has to be involved in planning a safe quitting programme in such cases.

3. Giving up alcohol also reflects benefits beyond the liver and improves outcomes in sleep, brain function and blood health. It also prevents cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Quitting should be integrated with practices like a good diet and regular physical activity to observe the best results.

In conclusion, this article was really insightful as an understanding of the liver’s power. I think anyone interested in the human body would find the author’s writing to be useful.

Be Wise - Strive For Total Wealth

Achieving a fulfilling life requires more than just financial success; it demands a balance of material, physical, and spiritual wealth. This comprehensive approach, known as total wealth, ensures a well-rounded this website existence free from the limitations often imposed by lacking in any one area. Explore how integrating these three aspects can lead to a richer, more satisfying life.

Material Wealth: More Than Just Money

Material wealth, often the most pursued form of wealth, includes money, assets, and property. While financial stability can alleviate many stresses, it's not a standalone solution for happiness. According to a report by the Federal Reserve, the average net worth of a U.S. household was approximately $746,821 in 2019. However, despite high income levels, many still experience dissatisfaction, highlighting the insufficiency of material wealth alone.

Physical Wealth: Health as a Priority

Physical wealth is fundamentally about health and well-being. The adage "health is wealth" truly encapsulates this concept, suggesting that without good health, our abilities to perform daily activities and enjoy life are severely hindered. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes the importance of regular physical activity to prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, which are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.

Spiritual Wealth: The Overlooked Treasure

Spiritual wealth involves a deep sense of fulfillment, peace, and purpose, often derived from relationships, personal beliefs, and a connection to a higher purpose. Despite its profound impact on overall happiness, it is frequently the most neglected. A Pew Research Center study on religion and living arrangements around the world in 2019 found that actively engaging in spiritual practices is linked to greater happiness and communal involvement.

The Holistic Model of Success: Total Wealth

To truly thrive, one must cultivate all three types of wealth. This holistic model addresses the comprehensive needs of an individual, ensuring a balanced and enriched life. Here are key strategies to achieve total wealth:

Financial Planning: Engage in smart financial planning and investments. Educate yourself about financial management or consult with a financial advisor.

Health Maintenance: Adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep. Regular health check-ups are crucial.

Spiritual Growth: Invest time in personal development and spiritual exploration. Whether through meditation, religious practices, or self-reflection, find what fulfills you spiritually.

Thyroid: A Comprehensive Guide

The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck, is a powerhouse for regulating essential bodily functions like metabolism, energy levels, and hormone balance. Unlike temporary health concerns such as diarrhea, thyroid conditions often require long-term care and attention to maintain overall health.

This blog explores the thyroid's role, common disorders, symptoms, causes, treatments, and tips for keeping it healthy.

What is the Thyroid Gland?

The thyroid gland produces two primary hormones:

Triiodothyronine (T3)

Thyroxine (T4)

These hormones regulate metabolism, which influences energy use, body temperature, and weight. The gland's activity is managed by the pituitary gland through thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), ensuring proper hormone levels are maintained.

Common Thyroid Disorders

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

What Happens? Insufficient hormone production slows the body’s metabolism.

Symptoms:

Fatigue

Weight gain

Hair thinning

Dry skin

Sensitivity to cold

Depression

Causes:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune condition)

Iodine deficiency

Thyroid surgery or radiation therapy

Treatment:

Synthetic hormone replacement (e.g., Levothyroxine)

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

What Happens? Excessive hormone production speeds up metabolism.

Symptoms:

Weight loss

Anxiety

Palpitations

Excessive sweating

Tremors

Insomnia

Causes:

Graves' disease (an autoimmune disorder)

Thyroid nodules

Overconsumption of iodine

Treatment:

Antithyroid medications

Radioactive iodine therapy

Surgery in severe cases

Thyroid Nodules and Cancer

Nodules: Lumps in the thyroid that may cause imbalances or indicate cancer.

Cancer: Rare but treatable with early detection. Symptoms include a persistent lump in the neck or difficulty swallowing.

Tips for Maintaining Thyroid Health

Balanced Nutrition:

Eat iodine-rich foods like fish, dairy, and iodized salt.

Include selenium (e.g., Brazil nuts) and zinc (e.g., nuts, seeds) in your diet.

Regular Checkups:

Monitor hormone levels if you have a family history or symptoms.

Stay Active:

Exercise reduces stress and helps regulate metabolism.

Stress Management:

Techniques like yoga or meditation can improve hormonal balance.

Avoid Self-Medication:

Excess iodine or unprescribed supplements can worsen thyroid issues.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If you experience symptoms like persistent fatigue, weight changes, or swelling in the neck, consult a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing complications such as heart disease, infertility, or severe metabolic imbalances. Your thyroid’s health is essential for your overall well-being. Addressing thyroid concerns early can significantly improve your quality of life.

World Heart Day

Heart Day is part of an international campaign to spread awareness about heart disease and stroke prevention. This is the perfect day to quit smoking, get exercising and start eating healthy – all in the name of keeping your ticker in good working order, and improving the health and well being of people the world over.

Learn about World Heart Day

The World Heart Federation have found that heart disease and strokes are the world’s leading cause of death, killing 17.1 million people every year – that’s more than victims of cancer, HIV and AIDS and malaria.

Overeating, lack of exercise, unhealthy diets and high blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are all factors which can trigger heart disease and threaten our own lives, and those of loved ones. Heart Day was set up to drive home the message that heart problems can be prevented.

History of World Heart Day

The aim is to improve health globally by encouraging people to make lifestyle changes and promoting education internationally about ways to be good to your heart. This lesson is becoming increasingly relevant as reports of obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity in children and young people become more and more common.

Events take place to promote healthy hearts. Charities and other organisations coordinate walks and runs, health checks, public talks, shows and exhibitions to name a few of the interesting and informative  events which mark the day. So on Heart Day, get involved, eat your fruit and veg and get outside; both you and your heart will feel the benefits.

World Heart Day is celebrated every year. It was created by the World Heart Federation. The first World Heart Day took place back in 2000. Since then, in 2012, leaders from around the globe committed to the reduction of worldwide mortality from non-communicable diseases by 25 percent by 2025.

Did you know that almost half of the NCD deaths happen because of cardiovascular disease? This makes it the biggest killer across the world. Therefore, World Heart Day is the perfect platform for the community to come together in the battle against cardiovascular disease and lower the worldwide disease burden.

How to observe World Heart Day

As World Heart Day is all about drawing people’s attention to heart diseases and illnesses, as well as the range of health issues that are associated with this, it makes sense to raise awareness and also improve your own understanding. We would recommend taking some time to do a bit of research about heart conditions and risk factors. You can then use your online platforms and your social groups in order to raise awareness.

There are both non-governmental and governmental organizations that take part in this date around the world. They do this through the organization of science fairs, exhibitions, fitness sessions, public talks, walks, and marathons. Some famous buildings, monuments, and landmarks opt to go red on this date so that they can show their support for cardiovascular disease awareness.

If you are opting to celebrate this day, it is important to try and be more attentive to your own heart health. There are a number of different ways that you can do this. This includes following a healthy diet, quitting alcohol, stopping smoking, and getting involved in physical exercises. It is also important to have your cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart checked on a regular basis.

It is a good idea to take a look online to see if there are any events that are going on in your local area. If there are not, how about organizing an event yourself? All you need is an idea that is going to get the community involved and raise awareness for heart disease. This could be anything from a fun run to a community fair. It is up to you.

You don’t need to do an event on such a big scale either. You could gather your friends and family members and host a fun event, educating them on the issues and asking them to make a donation. Other ways to fundraise include making crafts and then donating the proceeds to a heart foundation or charity.

There are a lot of different charities and organizations that are doing great work when it comes to raising awareness and finding cures for different heart problems. We are sure that they would appreciate a donation, whether this is a donation of your time, money, or both! After all, anything that you can do can make a difference to someone’s life, so do not underestimate the role that you can play.

Our teeth are our only permanent body part, so it makes sense that they must be cared for if you are going to live a long, healthy life. Unlike the rest of our body, once formed, they are not continually rebuilt through routine metabolism. Teeth are, under healthy conditions, essentially indestructible, as demonstrated by fossil records and forensic medicine. Yet, as we go about our daily lives, microorganisms constantly assault our teeth. This battle results in dental infections, a universal affliction of humankind — the discomfort caused by these infections and their enormous cost. Dental infections rank third in medical expenses in the United States, right behind heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, dental disease is closely linked to the development of a variety of heart diseases.

Beginning in the 1940s, a consensus emerged (particularly in the United States) that the risks and consequences of dental disease could be prevented mainly by ensuring that children consume adequate levels of a chemical called “fluoride” in their diet so that it would then be incorporated into their developing teeth. Based on this belief, most US municipal water systems began injecting fluoride into drinking water. In 2014, three-quarters of the US population on the public water supply received fluoridated water, representing two-thirds of the total US population. Despite this intervention, dental disease remains near the top of US health cost drivers. It is time to revisit the mid-20th century consensus on fluoride supplementation. The metadata indicates that the mandated intervention is not curing the problem.

Recent scientific study data, including a comprehensive evaluation by the US HHS National Toxicology Program, indicate that “higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children.” This finding underscores a couple of central principles of pharmacology and toxicology - first, all substances (including generally beneficial supplements) are toxic at some dose. Secondly, there is no substitute for long-term studies in the species of interest (humans) because cumulative effects may not be revealed in short-term analyses. Sound familiar? Basic principles.
