Prevent Age-Related Muscle Degeneration
Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., writes:
Degeneration (atrophy) of skeletal muscles is very common, but most physicians have no idea what to do about it.
Age-related loss of muscle is most likely caused by inflammation, which increases with aging. In addition, obesity and diabetes both accelerate muscle loss, because both are inflammatory.
Special: Doctor Finally Discovers Natural Secret Weapon Against Aging
Fortunately, a great deal of new research is discovering that natural compounds can not only prevent age-related muscle loss, but even reverse it.
For instance, fruit from the Schisandra chinensis plant (also called magnolia vine) has been shown to prevent age-related muscle atrophy and improve muscle strength and energy production in aged test animals.
Other compounds that have demonstrated this benefit include quercetin, curcumin, and resveratrol, especially when they are used in combination. Resveratrol has been shown to improve muscle strength and muscle diameter in older men.
Quercetin has also been shown to protect muscles from inflammation and atrophy associated with obesity.
These compounds work much better in conjunction with regular exercise, especially resistance exercises. In fact, exercise stimulates the antioxidant network, thus protecting the muscles against damage.
One interesting finding showed that elderly men who take omega-3 oils increase protein synthesis in their muscles, increase mitochondrial function, and enhance muscle response to exercises.
DHA has also been shown to preserve muscle mass under conditions that cause muscle atrophy.
Other studies indicate that the EPA component of omega-3 oils improves muscle protein quality and mitochondrial energy production in aging muscles — benefits not seen using DHA alone. This indicates that using a complete omega-3 oil, such as Carlson’s Norwegian oil, would be more effective against muscle loss.
Depletion of L-carnitine is associated with fatigue, muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy. Supplementing with L-carnitine can relieve these symptoms. The compound has also been shown to prevent muscle loss in cancer patients (a condition called cancer cachexia).
One study examined the nutritional intake of older men with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) versus men of the same age without muscle atrophy. The researchers found that the former had significantly lower intakes of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, and magnesium.
A group of organic compounds called branched-chain amino acids — including leucine, isoleucine, and valine — can also stimulate muscle building. In studies, aged mice that exercised while being given leucine significantly improved muscle restoration and prevention of muscle atrophy. The benefit of branched-chain amino acids has also been shown in patients with liver disease, a condition that causes severe muscle loss. Branched-chain amino acids can be purchased as a supplement.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest: Bigger Danger for Men
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Sudden cardiac arrest results in 325,000 adult deaths in the U.S. each year. That’s 50% of all of the deaths from heart disease. It can occur in the wake of a heart attack, or it can be a separate catastrophic cardiac event. When it occurs outside a hospital setting, the death rate is 90%.
Sudden cardiac death occurs twice as often in men as in women, no matter the age group. At age 45, the lifetime risk for sudden cardiac death was 10.9% in men and 2.8% in women. The risk was 11.2% in men and 3.4% in women at age 55; 10.1% in men and 3.4% in women at age 65; and 6.7% in men and 2.4% in women at age 75, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This
The researchers found that high blood pressure was the best predictor of sudden cardiac arrest, though other factors include elevated cholesterol, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and the use of tobacco or other smoking products.
A study published a few years ago in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that cardiac arrest may not occur as unexpectedly as believed. They collected information about the four weeks before sudden cardiac arrests and found that about one-half of patients had warning signs during that period that had reoccurred during the 24 hours beforehand.
Symptoms were classified as chest pain (typical or atypical), difficulty breathing, palpitations, sudden drop in blood pressure/loss of consciousness, and other issues, including abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, and back pain.

ancient tools have only been forge
There is no question that we’re all entirely unique Jimi.
The symptoms we’re experiencing are caused by our unique pattern of circumstances, including our genetics, environmental factors and lifestyle.
Which is exactly why the future of medicine is holistic, meaning it addresses the whole person and ALL of the underlying factors that contribute to one’s physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
And when you really think about it, why on earth would we treat the healing process any other way?
Modern medicine tends to overlook and exclude some of the most powerful remedies of all time, even scientifically proven and clinically validated approaches used by some of the most effective practitioners on the planet.
Fortunately Jimi, there’s a sea change happening and so many revolutionary treatments that were once only used in elite circles are now becoming widely available.
Cutting-edge techniques have been developed that are affordable and can be used at home.
And ancient therapeutic tools once forgotten are now re-emerging.

Have you ever asked yourself what your beliefs are surrounding the food you eat? And if you have firm beliefs already – where did they come from?
It’s crazy how often we go about our lives on autopilot, never questioning the impulses and cravings we have.
Find solutions here at The Healing Kitchen Series.
With all the busyness of modern life, things just seem to happen - almost as if they’re out of our control… The lack of hours in a day seems to govern what we do, and the body’s hunger signals can feel like a constant nag that we don’t have time for.
This sense of time scarcity can impact our choices at the supermarket and even color how we think about food.
This may be what gave rise to the invention of TV dinners and fast food joints in the early 1900s, which dramatically changed the way our country thought about food.
Daunting meal planning and preparations finally had a convenient solution.
But even though they saved us a little time, how these “conveniences” changed the food industry and people’s beliefs about food, did far more harm than good.
People are consuming nutrient-stripped foods that simply fill their bellies, spending a good portion of their day in front of a computer under artificial lighting, and slowly, becoming sick.
The constant demands of modern life have disconnected us from our bodies, the Earth, and our innate sense of knowingness.
All of this is making us sick, anxious, and unhappy.
But did you know that the very answers to these problems could be found by taking the time to be present, connect with ourselves, and connect with the food that nourishes us?
It’s time we remember how vital food is to our health, happiness, and longevity.
If you’re ready to create a deeper relationship with the food you eat and learn about the potent medicine it holds, then you won’t want to miss a remarkable new docuseries that’s premiering very soon…
=> It’s called Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine, and it’s a hard-hitting, transformative - and F.R.E.E. - documentary series exploring the world’s most promising medicinal foods and how they can be used to prevent and heal disease.
Whether you want to explore individual plant-based foods or learn how to combine them into delicious healing dishes, this series is going to wow you. Each of the nine episodes in Healing Kitchen is jam-packed with delicious medicinal recipes that you can create in your own home!
Click HERE to sign up for your viewing. <=
Food is medicine, and not just in the literal way of offering our bodies the vital nutrients they need. The care that goes into growing whole foods is also its own form of medicine.
And there is medicine too in the actual creation of a meal — an act that shouldn’t feel like a burden but should rather allow the space for you to act on inspiration.
What you put into your body affects everything, from your energy levels and mood to the functioning of your immune system and your overall longevity.
The energy and intention that goes into creating and consuming your meals may have a greater impact on your health than you’re aware of…
All of these topics and more will be explored in the beautifully filmed Healing Kitchen series, and I know I’ll be tuning in for sure!

The BBB Delusion
Or why the blood brain barrier is not a barrier to aluminium
|
| |||||||||||||||
As a Professor of Biology at Keele University I lectured neuroscience students on myriad subjects including the blood brain barrier. I have to say that I too learned a great deal from preparing and giving lectures and one thing that struck me regarding the BBB is how easily this barrier is compromised by all manner of substances. I used this new found knowledge to think about how aluminium gained entry to the brain and I produced the figure below to help me.
|
I wrote about this in what has become a seminal paper on this subject. The figure shown below is taken from this paper.
|
Again, those of you interested in the detailed science behind the movement of aluminium across biological membranes should read the paper. When I wrote this paper I had not yet had the epiphany brought to me by the microscopy of my colleague Dr Matthew Mold. When I wrote the paper I was frankly unaware that immune-reactive cells from the periphery could enter the brain by simply squeezing between cells in the BBB. When the brain is under attack, for example from a microbe, and suffers some form of inflammation, the brain signals to the body for help and immune-reactive cells in the periphery such as macrophages respond to the signal by crossing the BBB to attend the problem. What happens if these immune-reactive cells are already loaded with aluminium, perhaps obtained from a vaccine injection site, and carry their toxic cargo of aluminium into the brain. This is what we observed in our research on aluminium in brain tissue in autism and this added a completely new perspective on how aluminium enters brain tissue.
The blood brain barrier is a beautiful product of biochemical evolution and natural selection and acts to maintain the only immortal cell line in our body, the neurones. However, its success is not in its lack of permeability but in its ability as a selective barrier. Unfortunately this unique property evolved in the absence of biologically available aluminium and it is now too a target of the toxicity of aluminium. Tell this to the BBB bigot.
The hottest weight loss drug in years is here and celebrities are jumping all over it.
Elon Musk, Khloe Kardashian, Chelsea Handler and many more all claim they’ve lost a lot of weight with the drug. Jimmy Kimmel joked about it at the Oscars.
So what is it? How does it work? How do you get it? And why is it dangerous for some people?
We answer all your questions here:
What is it?
Ozempic = Wegovy = Semaglutide
Ozempic and Wegovy are simply name brands of the prescription drug called semaglutide (pronounced seh-ma-gloo-tide).
How does it work?
Semaglutide is a medication that is used to help people – who are overweight to lose weight. It is a type of drug called a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which works by mimicking the effects of a hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
GLP-1 is a hormone that is naturally produced in the body after we eat. It helps to regulate our appetite and blood sugar levels. When we eat, GLP-1 is released into our bloodstream, which signals our brain that we are full and helps to reduce our food intake.
Basically, it’s an appetite suppressant.

COPD Symptoms, Risk Factors
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
People with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) can have either chronic bronchitis or emphysema, but many people have a mixture of both.
Symptoms of COPD include a persistent cough, with or without mucus; shortness of breath, especially with physical activity; wheezing; chest tightness; recurring bouts of cold, flu, or respiratory infections; and fatigue.
Special: New Aging Research Reveals Key to Long, Healthy Life
While men are up to seven times more likely to be diagnosed with COPD, women are more likely to die from the disease.
Causes contributing to COPD include genetics and lifestyle habits, as well as environmental concerns. Be aware of these risk factors that could lead to COPD:
Smoking. The vast majority of people who develop COPD are over the age of 60, and are current or former smokers. Approximately 80% of deaths from COPD are attributable to smoking.
Environmental Pollutants. Pollutants in the air, including industrial dust, chemical fumes, airport fumes, and other chemicals, as well as secondary cigarette smoke, can contribute to COPD.
Genetics. An estimated 2%-3% of people with emphysema inherited a genetic mutation called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. AAT, or alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor, is a protein produced by the liver that helps protect the lungs. People with this mutation are far more likely to develop emphysema.
Obesity. It has long been known that obesity is risk factor for the progressive worsening of COPD. A recent study shows that excess fat, especially around the belly, increases the risk of developing the disease as well. Researchers found a 72% higher risk of COPD in those with a large waist circumference.
Asthma. If you have severe asthma as a child, you are more likely to develop COPD as an adult. Although they are different diseases, asthma and COPD affect the body in similar ways. Studies show that children with severe asthma are 32 times more likely to develop COPD in later years.

The Truth about the Childhood Vaccine Schedule is coming out
World Council for Health recommends a "Safer to Wait" approach
| |
| |||||||||||||||
Truth, health and freedom somehow became trigger words over the last 3 1/2 years, revealing a lot about human nature and how we can all behave when confronted with potential realities we’d rather not see.
But truth has a way of bubbling inconveniently to the surface. Unfortunately, when it comes to vaccines, many refuse to examine what are quickly deemed “conspiracy theories” until they are faced with vaccine injuries within their own close circles. It’s an awful way to learn, as it is generally accompanied by lots of gaslighting and virtually no assistance.
But hopefully this is beginning to change as more doctors and scientists revisit the evidence, acknowledge the shortcomings of medical science and validate the concerns and experiences of thousands of parents.
From the World Council for Health:

A Common-sense Approach to Childhood Vaccines is Now Needed
The number of vaccines given to babies and children has increased dramatically without the necessary due diligence by regulatory authorities.
worldcouncilforhealth.org
Don’t fall for the vaccine fearmongering and guilt-provoking propaganda.
These sentiments echo the concerns of many other organizations that have been trying to sound the alarm regarding the growing and liability-free childhood vaccination schedule and the regulatory capture that has led us here. Here are some other good ones to follow:
