| Animal Study Proves Blushield EMF Protection Work |
| The Blushield was used in a trial to determine how the Blushield would affect egg-laying chickens in an egg farm. Use of the Blushield in Minnesota (USA) reported the adjacent hen house was being affected by the use of the Blushield in the barn for cattle. Turns out the hen house was producing twice as many eggs as per normal. This trial was carried out to prove this hypothesis. |

| Clinical Study on Blushield Efficacy - The Results Are In |
| Almost three years ago (back in September of 2020), we were contacted by Tom Blue, the owner of a research company and Executive Director of the American Academy of Private Physicians. Tom is connected with a large network of doctors. He had recently discovered Blushield EMF protection devices, and noticed significant positive results from using the devices on himself, his wife and their son. All three regularly track various health markers using the Oura Ring device, and the results they found in their sleep quality and heart rate variability were impressive enough to inspire Tom to reach out to us. |
Hi Jimi,
Sometimes all that's needed to shift our reality is a little wisdom, spoken to us with gentleness and a pure heart. I came across this powerful Lakota prayer a few days ago and wanted to share it with you. I hope it helps you on your path. I know it did for me.
Lakota Prayer
Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.
According to certain traditions, the Sacred Space is the space between exhalation and inhalation. To Walk in Balance is to have Heaven (spirituality) and Earth (physicality) in harmony.
At the core of this timeless wisdom is the word "trust". When did we stop trusting ourselves? When did we start giving that trust, that power, away?
In many ways the healing path is a process of reestablishing that trust with the infinite that resides within us, just waiting to be activated.

Part 1
In our first email of this summer 2024 starch versus fruit-and-vegetable showdowns, we compared selected nutrient levels in 100 calories of potato with 100 calories of romaine lettuce.
In our second comparison we looked at three common plant-based breakfasts; one oat-based, one composed of only fruit, and the third composed of the same fruits with added kale.
In this third email in the series, we turn to dinner, where we look at a similar nutrient comparison for a starch-based meal with added vegetables, versus a vegetable-based meal with added starches. Please note that we're not specifically recommending or suggesting either of these meals, we are presenting them for comparison purposes and to illustrate the nutrient differences between a starch-based meal versus a fruit and vegetable-based meal.
The starch-based meal is a kidney bean-based chili with tomatoes, onion, red peppers, garlic, and lemon, along with one cup of cooked quinoa and one cup of cooked broccoli. In this meal, the majority (80%, 538 out of 667) of the calories come from the kidney beans and quinoa.
The vegetable-based meal includes half of the exact same chili and quinoa in the starch-based meal above, but with 2 cups of cooked broccoli instead of 1, and 1 cup cooked cauliflower and a moderate-sized salad added composed of about ¼ head of lettuce, 1 tomato, 1 shredded zucchini, 1 shredded carrot, and a simple dressing of one tomato and ½ cup mango, blended together.
In this meal, 269 out of 622 calories (40% of total calories) come from the beans and quinoa, while the remainder of the calories come from the vegetables and mango.
As far as the total quantity of food in each meal is concerned, when we cut the quantity of bean-based chili and quinoa in half, and then add an extra cup of cooked broccoli and 1 cup of cooked cauliflower, we are at approximately the same quantity / volume of food as the original amount of chili and quinoa from the starch-based meal. We then add the salad for an additional 1.8 pounds or 831 grams of food. That’s more than enough to keep most of us good and full! This vegetable-based meal also has about 45 fewer calories than the starch-based meal.

But does this mean the meals are equally healthful? Please look at the table and bar chart below to see how these meals compare to each other for selected nutrient abundance.
|
Below is the bar chart form of the table above that makes it especially easy to see the comparisons, where the meal with the higher nutrient value is assigned 100%, and the meal with the lower nutrient value is shown as the percent value it achieves compared to the food with the greater nutrient value.
For example, the starch-based meal bar for vitamin C is 50% as high as the vegetable-based meal, given that the starch-based meal provides about 50% of the vitamin C as the vegetable-based meal (187 mg vs. 377 mg). Starch-based meal values are shown in tan, while the vegetable-based meal values are shown in green.
Both meals are excellent sources of fiber, as they are each made from whole plant foods. The starch-based meal provides 30 grams of fiber, while the vegetable-centered meal provides 35 grams of fiber. The greater fiber content and greater water content of the vegetable-centered meal gives us a greater volume of food and saves 45 calories.
There is approximately double the quantity of omega 3 fats, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium in the vegetable-centered meal. The vegetable-centered diet also provides over 6x the quantity of beta-carotene, nearly 3x the vitamin K, and a slight increase in calcium compared to the starch-centered meal.
It's interesting to note that for the starch-based meal the red peppers in the chili are the #1 source of beta-carotene, while the 1 cup of cooked broccoli is the #2 beta-carotene source, and the tomatoes in the chili are the #3 source. The beans and the quinoa do not provide any substantial amount of beta-carotene.
The vitamin C profile fits the same pattern. Without the bell peppers, tomato, lemon juice and onion in the chili, the vitamin C content of the starch-based meal would be nearly zero, as kidney beans and quinoa provide negligible amounts.
This brings up our main point of the article; the more vegetables added to a meal, the greater the intake of these important nutrients, as well as the other nutrients on the chart and many others not included in the chart.
The iron content of each meal was nearly identical, which covers male and post-menopausal female daily iron recommendations, and provides about half of the iron recommendation for pre-menopausal women, with substantially fewer than half of the calorie recommendations for most post-menopausal women. That’s great!
So, what should we do with this information?
As we stated in our last email, we are not going to make anyone wrong for enjoying starch-based foods that are unprocessed and healthy. Avoiding unhealthful ingredients like excess total fat, excess saturated fat, cholesterol, high levels of dietary carcinogens, additives, preservatives, etc. that come as part of a nutrient-poor, calorie-dense profile can truly transform your health and your life for the better. Both meals fit the bill in this regard and that’s great!
Part 3
Providing an abundance of important nutrients is also an extremely important part of the health equation, and in this comparison, we can once again see that vegetables are generally much more nutrient-dense than starches.
In our last email we saw the combination of banana, orange, and mango was dramatically more nutrient dense for many key nutrients than the meal of oats, apples, raisins, and cinnamon, and the addition of kale to the fruit notably increased the amount of a number of the nutrients examined even more.
But can you live on fruits and vegetables only? Do you have to eliminate all starches to be truly healthy? What about the nutrients not covered in these emails; where do they come from? What options are there for covering all our nutrient bases from eating only plant foods? Can healthy fat sources be included and what are they? How much raw food is important to include in a healthy plant-based diet? Does one have to be 100% raw? What about oxalate, food combining, microbiome health, essential fats, cooked food toxins, blood sugar challenges, cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory nutrition, healthy weight achievement, and the other important topics in raw food and plant-based nutrition?
And perhaps most importantly, how does one make sense of conflicting and confusing information and how does one fit all these pieces of raw food and plant-based nutrition into a cohesive whole for a lifetime of supercharged health?
For example, the starch-based meal bar for vitamin C is 50% as high as the vegetable-based meal, given that the starch-based meal provides about 50% of the vitamin C as the vegetable-based meal (187 mg vs. 377 mg). Starch-based meal values are shown in tan, while the vegetable-based meal values are shown in green.

What Are Normal Glucose Levels?
Dr. Chauncey Crandall, M.D., writes:
To get an accurate plasma glucose reading, you have to fast for at least eight hours prior to the test. A normal blood glucose level is between 70 mg/dL and 99 mg/dL.
A reading of 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL implies prediabetes, while a reading of 126 mg/dL or higher indicates diabetes. Any glucose level over 100 mg/dL is cause for concern and should be addressed through weight loss and lifestyle changes.
Special: Doctor Discovers Sugar Control Method, Naturally
However, blood sugar can fluctuate, so a second test should be performed. The glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) test provides an average blood sugar level for the past two to three months.
An A1C level of 6.5% or higher on two separate tests indicates that you have diabetes. An A1C between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes. Below 5.7% is considered normal.
I can’t stress enough that you don’t need a glucose level approaching diabetes to experience the harmful effects of elevated blood sugar. I’ve seen many people with painful foot problems that are the result of nerve damage from high blood glucose, even though they were never diagnosed with diabetes.

Why do so many people have "hidden hypothyroidism"?
Low thyroid functoin often accompanies most chronic conditions, even diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease.Yet hypothyroidism often remains "hidden".
Do you have symptoms of low thyroid function but have never been diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
By the way, there is a very long list of symptoms that can be caused by low thyroid function that most people would not associate with it, but the most obvious and common symptoms are feeling cold when others do not and having a low body temperature most or all of the time, especially when you wake up in the morning.
If you have symptoms of low thyroid function but have not been diagnosed with it, then you probably have "hidden hypothyroidism".
"Hidden hypothyroidism" is simply a term I came up with for situations in which a person has hypothyroidism that has not been diagnosed because it "hides" from the methods used by most practitioners to test for hypothyroidism.
If you have hidden hypothyroidism, it's probably because your health practitioners have made one or more of the following mistakes:
- Relying only on TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies for diagnosis.
- Using outdated ideas abiut what levels of TSH could exist along with hypothyroidism.
- Using overly broad ranges of "normal" values for T3 and T4.
- Not looking at ratios between various thyroid hormones.

10 Best Superfoods to Protect Your Eyesight
Tens of millions of Americans suffer age related losses in at least one of their senses, according to a recent University of Chicago study. And experts warn that once you start losing any of your senses, including vision, you increase your risk of developing dementia.
“People are living longer than ever before in history and with these extended life expectancies comes the likelihood of sensory decline,” Dr. Gary Small, chair of psychiatry at Hackensack University Medical Center, tells Newsmax.
“Sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste diminish in many older adults. In addition to impinging on the quality of life for these seniors, these losses also increase the risk for cognitive decline because less sensory input means less mental stimulation.”
Special: Dry Eye Is Just an Annoying Minor Issue, Right? Wrong!
According to the American Optometric Association, many adults begin to have problems with their vision beginning in their early to mid-40s. These issues may be affected by health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, a family history of macular degeneration or glaucoma, or certain medications such as antihistamines.
These foods may help protect your sight:

According to the American Optometric Association, many adults begin to have problems with their vision beginning in their early to mid-40s. These issues may be affected by health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, a family history of macular degeneration or glaucoma, or certain medications such as antihistamines.
These foods may help protect your sight:
- Tuna. A 2016 study revealed that people who ate the most omega-3 fatty-acid-rich fish, like tuna and salmon, had the lowest risk of sight-stealing diseases.
- Blueberries. These violet-hued gems contain anthocyanins, potent antioxidants that cross the blood-retina barrier to provide extra vision protection. Anthocyanins may even improve vision in people who have tension glaucoma, a form of the disease that affects the optic nerve.
- Dark chocolate. A 2018 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology reported that adults who ate a bar of dark chocolate could literally see better two hours afterward. The flavonoids found in dark chocolate may help improve vision in people with glaucoma as well as reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.
- Spinach. Leafy greens are packed with two powerful antioxidants — lutein and zeaxanthin — that are stored in the eye’s macula to protect the eyes from damaging light. Lutein is especially good at filtering out blue light, the kind that glares from your computer or phone screen.
- Eggs. Egg yolks are also chock full of these two powerful antioxidants. The best part of getting them from eating an omelet is that both lutein and zeaxanthin are fat soluble so they are more readily absorbed by the body. Egg yolks are also a rich source of vitamin D, which studies have shown may protect your eyes against macular degeneration.
- Oysters. Shellfish like oysters are rich in the mineral zinc and that helps keep eyes healthy. Zinc helps vitamin A make melanin, a pigment that protects your eyes, according to the AARP. Zinc deficiency may also cause poor night vision, according to studies.
- Hot tea. A study by the British Journal of Ophthalmology found that folks who drink hot tea every day are 74 percent less likely to develop glaucoma.
- Oranges. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which helps prevent free radical damage to the eyes, thereby reducing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. It also builds collagen, which provides the structure for your cornea. In one study of adults aged 49 and older those who ate an orange daily had a 51 percent lower risk of age-related macular degeneration than those who didn’t eat the fruit.
- Sunflower seeds. According to a Spanish study, people who eat 2 ounces of sunflower seeds daily derive the eye-saving benefit of vitamin E, which significantly lowers the risk of cataracts and cataract surgery.
- Carrots. As the old joke goes, you never see a bunny wearing glasses. But kidding aside, carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant your body converts to vitamin A, which is essential for good vision. Beta-carotene also fights off free-radical damage. Eating high amounts may lower your risk for diseases like macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma.
