MANDATE UPDATE:
For much of the year, as the “shot” campaign gained steam, many argued for employers to add pressure to those on the fence by making it a requirement.
There’s been lots of questions about ethics and legalities.
But that is not stopping some from jumping on board.
Just announced... Delta Air Lines is requiring all NEW employees to get the shot, becoming one of the first U.S. companies to enforce a mandate.
“Delta will require all new hires in the U.S. to be v@ccinated against COVID-19, unless they qualify for an accommodation,” the company said in a statement.
According to the company, the requirement will protect Delta’s employees and customers, ensuring the airline can safely operate as the number of fliers increases.
What’s most interesting is this...
“I’m not going to mandate and force people if they have some specific reason why they don’t want to get vaccinated, but I’m going to strongly encourage them and make sure they understand the risks to not getting vaccinated,” CEO Ed Bastian told CNN in a recent interview.
“One caveat to that, though. Any person joining Delta in the future—future employees—we’re going to mandate they be vaccinated before they can sign up with the company.”
But Bastian said it wouldn’t be fair to current employees to make vaccination a requirement to stay in their job, “if there’s some philosophical issue they have.”
For current employees that choose not to receive the v@ccine, they will likely be required to get tested weekly and be ineligible for international flights.
No such luck for new hires moving forward.
What do you think, is this just the first of many big companies to follow suit?

Papers, please! Oregon now requires ‘proof of vaccination’ - LifeSite
It would be worth seriously debating the merits of this authoritarian insanity if in fact Oregon could demonstrate that they were “following the science” on this issue, but it’s clear that this order has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with power and control.

Was this move a clever win-win for the manufacturers and the public, or did it place patient safety second to corporate profitability? It is critical that the U.S. public understand the positive and negative ramifications so the nation can strike the right balance.

Don't stress so much about what you can't control or change. Remember you can find peace even if circumstances are beyond your control.We give meaning to life’s events to make sense of things happening to us. The meaning you give your experiences will affect how you feel. If you define something as negative, you will end up in a negative emotional state.
Your happiness lies in re-framing events. Don’t get too caught up with circumstances beyond your control. Sure, these circumstances do have an impact on us, but you have to make sure you don't give away your power to such circumstances.

| Hi Jimi, |
| More and more people are going plant-based — for their health, for the animals, and for the planet. But not everyone knows where to start or how to do it right. Do you know what to eat, what to avoid, and how to ensure you get your critical nutrient needs met? |
| If you, or anyone you love, would like a little guidance getting rolling, this article can help you nail it. |
| Even if you feel confident with a plant-based lifestyle, you might know someone who doesn’t. Perhaps they’re just getting started — or just curious. |

White blood cells are key to fighting off viruses, bacteria, and YES, cancer cells!
And white blood cells are partly stored in your belly-fat...
So when your immune system is “stressed” out—your body is reluctant to burn belly-fat stores (because it wants to keep more white blood cells in case of danger).
This is why enhancing your immune system is KEY to losing weight before Summer begins.
And the #1 thing that suppresses your immune system?
TOXINS.
Hidden toxins from the air, food, water, and household products (even ‘natural’ ones!)
So if you want to have strong immunity, faster metabolism, and a NEW body before Summer hits — it’s critical to guide your body through the most powerful detox possible:
===> Discover the #1 doctor-recommended detox protocol
(This event is FREE and teaches you how to pull out dirty toxins from your cells... to restore your energy, metabolism, immunity and more)
Keep in mind: most detox approaches deal with specific organs — liver, colon, and so on— but aren’t effective at removing toxins on a CELLULAR LEVEL.
And the cell is where the foundation of your energy is.
So you must remove the toxins from your cells to regain energy and transform the rest of your body and immunity.

Protecting Your Brain as You Age
By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs
“Champions keep playing until they get it right,” says Billie Jean King, winner of 39 Grand Slam tennis titles.
“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them,” advises Michael Jordan, winner of six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls.
“Passion first and everything will fall into place,” explains Holly Holm, a UFC competitor.
Those athletes know how important it is to push yourself. That’s a surefire way to protect your brainpower as you age as well.
Special: Renowned Medical Expert Reveals His Top Five Natural Brain Boosters
A 2017 Lancet commission on dementia found that 35% of cases were preventable if people managed high blood pressure, obesity, hearing loss, depression, diabetes, inactivity, and isolation in later life.
But missing from that equation was the influence of emotional health in midlife — a critical period for dementia-related brain changes and psychosocial crises — on the development of cognitive problems later on.
Using decades of data, researchers found that a sense of personal growth and a continuing drive to pursue improved health and happiness at age 52 set you up for better cognition at 69. In other words, look for new experiences and aim for self-improvement.
Here are six things you can do to protect your brain as you age:
1. Expand your circle of friends and acquaintances by helping others.
2. Learn new skills and pursue whatever you're curious about.
3. Work to improve your health: Increase daily activity (go for 10,000 steps daily or the equivalent) and eat a plant-based diet, free of ultraprocessed foods.
4. Avoid exposure to toxins from smoking/vaping.
5. Manage your stress response.
6. Get enough sleep (seven to eight hours) nightly.

Lessons Cancer Taught Me: Year 3In my first year after diagnosis, I started to have realizations about different things I was learning from cancer: ways I was changing, positive growth I was experiencing, and how my perspective on life was shifting. I started writing them down, and it is something that I continue today. I am currently sharing my lessons from year three in the Facebook group, so if you have missed any of them, visit the link below to see the most recent one, and then meander through the posts on the group wall or search "lessons" in the group's search bar to see the others. I will keep posting until I share them all.

The Strong Connection
Between Inflammation & Heart Health
Of all the health issues associated with every day, silent inflammation which turmeric can help address is perhaps the most common and serious issue related to the heart.
Extensive research has shown that elevated levels of an inflammation marker called C-reactive protein (CRP) is a strong indicator of long-term cardiovascular risk.
This has led some researchers to conclude that controlling inflammation is at least as important as keeping cholesterol levels balanced when it comes to maintaining heart health.*
Breakthrough new research is now showing that turmeric can lower levels of inflammation marker CRP by an amazing 32%.*
And a recent meta-analysis came to the same astonishing conclusion that has shocked mainstream doctors: turmeric lowers levels of CRP dramatically.*
This is groundbreaking because having high CRP levels is a major warning sign that silent inflammation is putting your heart at significant risk.*
Another recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed turmeric can also significantly lower triglycerides, another major cardiovascular risk factor, by an astonishing 47%.*
And perhaps most impressive of all, a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, found that turmeric reduced the risk of a serious cardiac event (post-bypass surgery) by an amazing 56%!*
These heart health benefits alone are enough to take a research dosage of turmeric every day. But the benefits of controlling harmful silent inflammation are MUCH more wide-ranging than that.

Processed Foods Increase Cancer Risk
By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs
In the 2002 movie "Serving Sara," Matthew Perry plays a hapless process server who uses trickery and a six pack of beer to achieve an (artificially) enriched lifestyle. Unfortunately, it was a fizzle at the box office.
We could have told him anything that's overly processed never amounts to much in the end.
Special: The Lurking Enemy in Your Gut – Hint: It’s Plaque
In fact, if you're serving processed food — dishing up lunch meats, sweetened treats, and empty calories — your hope for a healthy, long life is gonna fizzle too.
A new study from New York University says that if men are downing sugary beverages regularly, their risk for prostate cancer triples! Munching pizza, burgers, and meat sandwiches? It's doubled. Do that soda and salami sandwich together? Sounds like trouble.
And ladies aren’t off the hook either. Those foods KO your immune system, screw up your glucose levels and heart health, increase breast cancer risk, and guarantee a battle of the bulge.
But there's good news, too: If you opt for a diet filled with complex carbs found in veggies, fruits, and whole grains, you may lower your risk for breast cancer by 67 percent!
For guys and gals: Eating beans, lentils, and peas is associated with 32 percent lower risk of all overweight- and obesity-related cancers, including cancer of the esophagus, colon and rectum, endometrium, kidney, thyroid, and gallbladder, in addition to prostate and breast.
So if you're in the process of pursuing better health, ditch processed foods pronto.
