Your Daily Motivation​

Thursday​

March-24-2022
It's okay if you're feeling down right now. Give your emotions some space. But don't let your negative thoughts convince you that it will never get better.

That's not true. You have the power to rise up. You are capable of finding a way forward. Keep trying. Don’t be discouraged.

Even if it seems like it isn't happening exactly how you want it to, have faith that things are working themselves out.

Focus on the goodness in each moment. Your hard work will eventually pay off.

Hi Jimi,
Despite all the trillions of dollars spent in the war on cancer, it will take ten million lives this year.
No wonder “you’ve got cancer” are three of the most dreaded words in the English language.
But according to New York Times bestselling author Joel Fuhrman, MD, there is a better way.
(You may have seen him on Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, the Today Show, or in the Food Revolution Summit.)
You see, Dr. Fuhrman wrote a brand-new eBook: Joel Fuhrman’s Anti-Cancer Diet – Super Affordable Foods That Reduce Your Risk of Prostate, Breast, and Colon Cancer.
>> And right now, you can get it for no charge by clicking here.
When you download his brand-new eBook, you’ll also get complimentary access to the world premiere of Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat To Live Masterclass! This will be a series of brilliant and insight-packed seminars, in which Dr. Fuhrman will share the most powerful antiaging and anticancer secrets that he’s learned during thirty-four years of practice.
>> Get it all here.
Yours for kicking cancer and loving life,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. It turns out that certain foods are your best defense against cancer. Not chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery (which can only help, if at all, with treatment once cancer has already developed). And if you want to find out which foods have been proven to be the best at helping you fight cancer…
Then download Dr. Fuhrman’s Anti-Cancer Diet eBook right here.

4 Critical Ingredients that Must be With Your Turmeric

CRITICAL INGREDIENT #1:
Fermented Organic Turmeric - for healthy inflammation. Fermented turmeric is more easily absorbed by your body without any of the adverse side effects of black pepper or piperine.

CRITICAL INGREDIENT #2:
Vitamin D3 - helps maintain a healthy mood. Stress is a main cause of chronic inflammation, plus 69.5% of all Americans are deficient in Vitamin D.

CRITICAL INGREDIENT #3:
Organic KSM-66 Ashwagandha® - KSM-66 is a patented ashwagandha which is an adaptogen that helps support healthy stress levels. (Again, stress is one of the main causes of chronic inflammation.)

CRITICAL INGREDIENT #4:
Fermented Organic Ginger - Ginger and turmeric are in the same "family" and ginger is great for supporting healthy inflammation levels, PLUS it increases the bioavailability (absorption) of curcumin when taken with turmeric.

Hi Jimi!
I've got a new interview for you with detoxification expert Vivian Chen, MD.
Dr. Chen’s medical re-education began when her newborn daughter stopped feeding, had to be hospitalized and was subsequently misdiagnosed as having reflux and then with a behavioral disorder.
The medical system she was trained in failed to help her daughter.
But through her own research Dr. Chen discovered that the cause of her daughter's mysterious illness was a cow’s milk protein allergy. A simple solution!
Dr. Chen also discovered that the chronic fatigue, acne, and brain fog she had experienced for many years were caused by specific environmental toxins.
This changed the trajectory of her career as a physician and today Dr. Chen treats her patients with a holistic approach; helping them identify the root causes of their disease and heal with a plant-based diet, detoxification and healthy lifestyle strategies.
I know you will enjoy this fascinating interview with Dr. Vivian Chen!

Seniors: Keep Moving for Brain Health

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

A recent study finds that aerobic exercise can improve older adults’ thinking and memory, even if they’re longtime couch potatoes.

This type of exercise increases blood flow to the brain and counters the effects of normal aging, according to the study published online for the journal Neurology.

Special: The Healing Powers of Coffee: Muscle Pain, Headaches, Weight, and More

The study included 206 adults, average age 66, with no history of memory or heart problems. For six months, they took part in a supervised exercise program three times a week.

As they progressed, their workout increased from an average of 20 minutes a day to least 40 minutes.

They were also asked to work out on their own once a week. At the end of the exercise program, participants had a 5.7% improvement on tests of executive functioning. They also had a 2.4% increase in verbal fluency, a measure of how quickly a person can retrieve information.

The state of your mouth can have a profound impact on your ability to heal....

As you focus on your healing journey, it is important to remove the toxins from your body and maintain proper oral and dental health. Most of us have fillings, and many of us have had root canals done. It is important to understand the direct connection between your oral health and your overall well-being.

>Like many areas of the body, your mouth is full of bacteria. Normally the body's natural defenses plus routine oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing, can keep bacteria under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels the might lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.

>Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique which draws out toxins and improves oral health by swishing coconut oil in the mouth on an empty stomach for around 20 minutes and then releasing it into the sink.

>It is important to floss nightly. Dental tape removes more plaque; however, avoid teflon-coated floss. Most people do not floss deeply enough. The floss should go under the gum alongside each tooth. When brushing, use a soft brush and at a 45 degree angle toward the gum line. Use short, back and forth or circular strokes so the gums feel like they are getting a gentle massage.

>Fluoride is one of the most toxic elements, so use fluoride-free toothpaste.

>If gums bleed when brushing and flossing that is a sign that the gums are infected with bacterial plaque and are inflamed as a result. This plaque must be removed for the gums to heal, even if this causes bleeding

>If plaque is not removed daily, minerals from saliva are deposited into it, and it hardens in to calculus or tarter. This usually cannot be removed by brushing and flossing and requires a professional cleaning at a dental office. If left untreated, the bacteria will infect and destroy the bone that holds the teeth into the jaw. This gum disease is how teeth are lost.
​
"Smoking Teeth" - The dangers of mercury fillings
This video known as the "smoking teeth" shows how mercury is released from a traditional amalgam filling when there is friction against it, such as in chewing gum or eating food,. Many of us still have mercury in our mouth, the most poisonous non- radioactive metal that we know. When mercury is put in our teeth as a filling, it's like implanting a poison in our body that continues to emit toxins on a daily basis. (Note: HealingStrong has no association with Layton Dental, the creator of this video.)

The vast majority of patients I’ve seen over the years have one thing in common: they feel like crap.
It might be that they can’t lose weight, don’t sleep well, feel anxious or down, or have super low energy and vitality. The symptoms go on and on, but for most of them, the root causes are the same.
Processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, and mixed nutrition messages have completely disrupted our health, leading us to feel awful and long for better health. While it might seem complicated, identifying and turning around the unique offenders in your own life is simpler than you might think.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks with our good friend Max Lugavere about streamlining your health so you can get back to feeling great.

Study Reveals: When It Comes to Detox, Sweat Is Best​

There’s a reason sauna is almost always on my protocol for toxic mold patients. Sweating works! And there’s an exciting study that proves it.
A recent study found that many harmful toxins such as heavy metals and BPA are excreted MORE through sweat than urine or blood.
This is likely because sweating helps remove toxins hiding in tissues that would otherwise stay stuck. Check out the full article to dive deeper into sweating’s powers:

Everything can change for the better in a moment. Stay calm and rational. Things are coming together for you.

Let go of the need to control everything. You won't feel stuck forever. This is NOT it. This is NOT how your life is going to look like from now on.

Better days are on the way. Learn from your past experiences and see your current situation as an opportunity to reinvent yourself.

You’re bigger than your circumstances. You can ride any situation out. Cultivate your inner peace.

I recently sat down with the team from Conscious Initiatives to talk about the state of the world.
Despite a challenging day for me personally, this 30-min presentation turned out to be one of my favorites.
When we stop fighting and become deeply grounded in ourselves—we stop self-betraying, we stop self-abandoning—and we step back into alignment, which is where our power lies.
In it I discuss:
  • My high-level perspective on what’s actually happening in the world today
  • How operating from the old paradigm of fighting, protesting, and demanding isn’t working
  • How our current experience of betrayal from the government, media, medical system, and loved ones actually reveals ways in which we’ve betrayed ourselves
  • How the dominant narrative leverages the concept of altruism against us
  • What sovereignty is and what it means
  • How to reclaim our power without needing to “prove” anything
  • Why we shouldn’t offer people advice that they haven’t asked for
  • How I get in touch with my own intuition and recognize those times when I’m operating from a triggered place
  • Why victim consciousness is at the root of human pathology

ACTION ALERT
​
What the WHO…?
US Sovereignty is on the Line as Nations Negotiate Pandemic Treaty
The WHO is creating the public health equivalent of a “one world government” yet they don’t have the authority to override the Constitution of the United States, nor its national sovereignty.
A Pandemic Treaty could pave the way for an initiative like the Good Health Pass, described by Tony Blair as an “internationally-recognized system of health passes” for world travelers.
If you believe in bodily sovereignty, parental rights, and informed consent, you must stand up now and let your voice be heard.
Our membership in the WHO doesn’t give this globalist organization the right to violate our civil liberties, human rights, and medical freedom.

Hi, Jimi, hope you are doing well today.

Some people are skeptical of "energy healing." Some embrace it fully. Others simply don't have enough insight on it to make an assessment.

Where ever you may reside on that spectrum, if you believe that knowledge is power which may in turn benefit your health and life...

Don't miss this excellent free guide, The Healing Power of Energy, which you're getting free right here today

This 24-page guide by Dr. Christine Schaffner and Lloyd Burrell provides one of the clearest explanations I've read of what energy medicine is and the keys to how to use it.

In very brief, energy medicine holds that illness happens from the inside, when your energy gets blocked or disrupted due to a range of causes, such as physical toxins or trauma.

It stems from and may utilize components of a range of different ancient healing traditions, such as qigong, sound healing, yoga, and much more.

And, again, this new Healing Power of Energy guide does an excellent job of educating you on the "essentials" about Energy Medicine:

Secrets of self-healing
Jimi... I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “mind over matter.”

However, the prevailing perspective of conventional Western medicine is “matter over mind,” meaning it treats the physical symptoms of illness without addressing deeper psychological and spiritual factors.

Neither of those world-views is entirely accurate. How could they be? Both are one-sided and assume that it’s unusual for the mind to influence the body.

Today, Master Mingtong Gu would like to share with you these incredible ancient healing secrets…

...starting with the holistic mind-body-heart healing perspective of Eastern medicine, which is very different from what you might be used to!

Jim, I just read this book and needed to share it with you. It’s amazing.

You’ll learn the 5 ancient secrets that make Wisdom Healing Qigong so effective and how you can use it to empower your own health, healing, and wellbeing.

Hi Jimi,

Dr. Osborne here,

Bringing this up because many of you have been asking for more information on Iodine.

My favorite formula is Ultra Iodine - a premium high potency iodine formula to support thyroid hormone synthesis, which contains 7.5 mg as potassium iodide (KI).

While we’ve all heard of iodine, it’s amazing how most people know very little about it.

In short, this nutrient is necessary to produce T3 and T4 which are thyroid hormones. These not only regulate growth, but they are vital for metabolism, generating energy, breaking down fat, and communicating with DNA about how cells are supposed to grow, heal, and repair.
In history, potassium iodide has also been used for its ability to effectively block radioactive iodine from being absorbed through the thyroid glands. During the nuclear disaster at the chemical plant in Fukushima, those exposed showed higher thyroid cancer rates, years after the exposure.

Because of catastrophic situations such as Fukushima, it was learned that taking potassium iodide could saturate the thyroid gland with the non-radioactive version and it could potentially help to prevent, or at least reduce the intake of the negative toxic exposure into the thyroid glands.

Hey, Jimi!

In this episode, I am speaking with Chris Masterjohn, PhD about some serious questions and worrying holes that appear in the C19 data-sets we have been asked to put our faith in. He has an extremely unique perspective on this question (from digging into the research like no one else has!) that needs to be heard and demands a response. Dr. Masterjohn is, in my experience, one of the most brilliant minds there is when it comes to really digging into the details of huge volumes of research and putting the pieces together.

In this podcast, Dr. Masterjohn talks about:

  • Why data which relies on PCR tests may not be a valid or useful as most believe
  • Why the vast majority of people (over 75%!) who got sick with “CV-like illness” (based on symptoms) were totally excluded from the key trials used to authorize the jabs.
  • How the jabs may be changing the way a person tests on a PCR test rather than reducing their chance of getting sick (and what is “CV-like illness”?) (The data shows they are highly effective at reducing PCR-test positive CV-like illness, but is very clear that they have no effect on total CV-like illness. How could this be?)
  • How it can be that the data presented by pharmaceutical companies ignores 95% of those who reported being sick during the trials with “CV-like illness” but tested negative on a PCR test. (And how including – rather than excluding – the 95% of people with CV-like illness who tested negative dramatically transforms the data!)
  • What looking at all-cause mortality across the world can tell us about the effectiveness of these jabs. (Have total deaths changed in countries that have injected 75-95% of their population?)
  • Chris’ fascinating hypothesis about exactly how the jabs could be so effective at reducing PCR-test positive CV-like illness, but not total CV-like illness.
  • Jab safety, side-effects and the best way to consider the VAERS in the light of its imperfections
  • Chris’ exact recommendations for preventing and fighting CV19 (and other viral infections) from a nutritional point of view and now available in his new guide.

How to Thrive on a Vegan Diet​

Can you really thrive on a vegan diet? The short answer is "it depends".
If you have the right factors in place, some of which you control, and some of which you don't, you can potentially thrive long-term on a vegan diet.
But for many people, it just doesn't seem to work out well over the longhaul.
Let's look at some of the factors at play.
Your ability to thrive on a vegan diet depends on genes, metabolic types, strategic food and supplement choices, and perhaps your microbiome as well.
The main genetic issues pertain to which variants you have of genes that influence your ability to ...
  1. Convert carotenoids (e.g. beta carotene) from vegetables into retinol, the form of vitamin A that the body uses
  2. Convert the short-chain omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid, into their long-chain forms, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that the body uses
  3. Handle plant lectins without developing inflammatory gut disorders and possibly autoimmunity (yes, genes affect this, several of them)
  4. Microbiome species that assist you in handling plant lectins (And certain genes that affect the ease with which you maintain a healthy microbiome.)
Among metabolic types, the "Fast Oxidizer" metabolic type has a tough time thriving on a vegan diet because fast oxidizers seem to need purine-rich foods to slow down their overly fast metabolic oxidation rate.
The use of certain minerals and amino acids can also slow down the metabolic oxidation rate, but it's hard to say if this works well enough long-term.
The other main challenge with vegan diets is accessing certain nutrients.
The following nutrients tend to be less available in a vegan diet, but can be obtained from certain plant foods, supplements, and possibly the right microbiome strains:
  1. Vitamin K2 is only found in certain fermented products (e.g. natto, a fermented soy product), certain animal products (e.g. certain cheeses and organ meats like liver), and certain gut microbes that may produce it (Check out Dr. Mercola's "Kinetic Culture" fermented vegetable culture starter.)
  2. Vitamin A, as mentioned above, is not easy to produce from dietary carotenoids for people with certain gene variants. I'm not a fan of synthetic vitamin A, but if you're unwilling to take a whole food supplement like a specific type of cod liver oil, then you could use a synthetic vitamin A.
  3. Vitamin B12 is found in animal foods and fermented products. Unfortunately, the B12 produced in the digestive tract is produced below the point in the digestive tract where it is readily absorbed, so vegans typicaly need to supplement with B12.
  4. Other B vitamins are also often low or less bioavailable in vegan diets.
  5. Choline deserves special mention because it would be considered a B vitamin except that we are able to make some, but just not enough. If you don't have genes impairing choline synthesis or methylation, have healthy levels of estrogen, and eat a lot of soy (which can be problematic), broccoli, cauliflower, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and beets, then maybe you can get enough from your diet. Fortunately, you can also get plenty of choline from lechin from sunflower or soy (get organic) and trimethyglycine (TMG). The amount of choline you require depends on several factors, especially whether or not you have methylation issues, which can double your choline requirements.
  6. Omega-3 fatty acids are in much shorter supply in most vegan diets because they are not as common as omega-6 fatty acids in a vegan diet, and if you don't have the genes to convert the short-chain forms of these fatty acids found in plants into the long-chain forms that the body uses, you will be deficient.
  7. Selenium tends to be scarce on a vegan diet, but plenty (or way too much!) can be obtained from Brazil nuts because they vary so widely in their selenium content. Selenomethionine supplements provide a way to control selenium intake if you're not eating animal or seafood products, which have a more consistent selenium content.
  8. Zinc tends to be scarce and/or less bioavailable (due to phytates that bind it) on a vegan diet, but if you soak and rinse the high zinc sources that contain phytates (e.g. pumpkin seeds), perhaps you can get enough zinc. Vegan diets also tend to be high in copper, which in excess can impair and imbalance your level of zinc.
  9. Iron is certainly available on a vegan diet, but it tends to less bioavailable because it is often bound by phytates. Allowing yourself to go pescatarian so that you can eat clams provides an easily-assimilated source of iron that is low on the food chain. It's hard to find plant-based iron supplements because they typically also include synthetic ingredients as well, like synthetic folic acid, which poses a health risk for people that don't methylate well, which is most people with chronic health issues.
There are other nutrients that can become deficient in a vegan diet, but these are the main ones.
By the way, when it comes to iron, unless you have run a full iron panel that includes copper and ceruloplasmin, don't assume that low iron is an issue with iron deficiency. It could be iron dysregulation due to copper dysregulation.
You may have noticed above that copper is involved with both zinc and iron. And the plot thickens ...
Copper is regulated by ceruloplasmin, the production of which depends on vitamin A and healthy adrenal function.

Your Daily Motivation​

Sunday​

March-27-2022
What you think of yourself is more important than what others think of you. Be honest about your priorities with yourself.

Unless you are honest with yourself you can never find true fulfillment or go after what you really want. Develop a strong belief in yourself.

Observe your inner reactions to the experiences you have without any judgment. Learning to really see yourself in an honest way is challenging, but the hard work is worth it in the long run.

Being true to yourself allows you to fully experience everything that life has to offer. You do have the courage to be honest with yourself.
