Hi Jimi,

Who says that just because cancer runs in your family, you’re doomed to face the same fate?

The truth is, just because you have "cancer genes" doesn’t mean getting cancer is inevitable.

If that were the case, everyone with those genes would have cancer, but that’s simply not true.

What if I told you the whole "cancer gene" story is a myth? 🤔

According to world-renowned cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton:

"There’s actually no such thing as a cancer-causing gene…"

Surprised? You should be.

Because even if you have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes—the ones many doctors label as "cancer-causing"—that’s only part of the picture.

There’s something bigger at play here…

Something that changes the cancer conversation altogether—a missing link that could make all the difference for you and your loved ones.

👉 Watch this eye-opening video to discover the truth about preventing cancer—even if it "runs in the family."

⚠️ Important: Due to online censorship, this video may be taken down at any moment.

Watch it now before it disappears!

Season 4 Begins Today!​
Hi jim ,

In this week's episode of our 'Stories That Heal' podcast, we hear the story of how Saranne used laughter and comedy to overcome her Stage IV Triple Negative Breast Cancer diagnosis.

In 1999 Saranne was diagnosed with Stage IV Triple Negative Breast Cancer. After being misdiagnosed by 11 doctors over 6 years, she had 3 surgeries, 44 radiation treatments, and 2+ years of chemotherapy (up to 3x daily). It was then determined that her type of cancer was non-responsive to chemo and she was told to get her affairs in order.

This is when Saranne began researching how to reinvent her immune system. While she took a multifaceted approach using all the healing factors, she attributes the "increasing positive emotions" healing factor to be the one that played the strongest role in her healing.

25 years later, Saranne is still cancer-free. She launched The ComedyCures Foundation from her chemo chair in 1999 to help others rediscover their funny bone, mojo, and purpose. She hosts The Beating Cancer Daily Podcast combining a unique blend of humor and wellness strategies.

Happy listening,

Co-Directors of the Radical Remission Project​

Hi Jimi,

The craziest thing happened when we had all of these experts in our studio filming the Cardiovascular Docu-Class.

Over and over again the connection between a healthy heart and healthy lungs kept popping up!

So while we had everyone in the studio we decided to film the Lung Health Docu-Class.
Click Here to Watch The Best of Lung Health
Right now, with the world feeling afraid of respiratory disease, it's more important than ever to make sure your lungs are as healthy as possible.

COVID aside, lung diseases are still big-time killers.

  • Respiratory diseases — like asthma, COPD, emphysema, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis — are the 3rd leading cause of death in the world.
  • Lower respiratory infections — like pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis — are the 4th leading cause of death in the world.
The 18 presentations in the Lung Health Docu-Class will open your eyes to just how much you can do to protect your family from these killers.

So for the next 24 hours, we're featuring "The Best of Lung Health Docu-Class" — a compilation of some of the most powerful moments from that docu-class, condensed into one amazing presentation.

If you're worried about respiratory health then you definitely don't want to miss this!

if people follow reason instead of tv adverts then all would be well, as an example if you had marriage problems who would you listen to..a old couple in the hills with 20 kids been married 60 years or a liz taylor with 7 divorces, none of which were her fault. with food it should be easy to know what to eat

  • Tools to maintain your progress: Get practical tips on keeping the weight off for good, from nutrition and exercise to medical treatments that actually make a difference.

Intermittent Fasting for Heart Health

According to a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, the obesity rate in the U.S. is now about 40%, and nearly one in 10 surveyed reported being severely obese.

Now, new research finds that intermittent fasting (IF) can help you lose weight and reduces risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Editor's Note: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Simple Heart Cure Diet

"The body was born to eat less, not more," says Chauncey Crandall, M.D., world-renowned cardiologist and director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida.

“Intermittent fasting is an effective method where you can shorten your eating cycle over a period of six to 10 hours, and this will set up a better biorhythm for the body and you will lose weight. You will control blood sugar and you'll reduce the incidence of heart disease. And you will live a longer life," explains Crandall, New York Times bestselling author including in his most recent book, "The Simple Heart Cure Diet & Meal Plan."

Editor's Note: Heart Surgeon's Secret to Healthy Blood Pressure

Crandall recommends restricting eating to between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. or even a shorter window of 6 hours ─ between noon and 6 p.m. ─ if you can.

"The body is meant to eat less in a shorter period of time. And if everyone would start that program of what we call intermittent fasting, fasting, or restricted diet intake, you'll be much better and you'll get to that goal of 100 years in your life," according to Crandall, editor of the popular Dr. Crandall's Heart & Health Alert newsletter.

Editor's Note: These 4 Things Happen Right Before a Heart Attack

In addition to adhering to intermittent fasting, Crandall recommends simple lifestyle changes that promote weight loss, heart health, better blood sugar control, and longevity. These include walking one hour a day, five days a week and lifting weights three times a week, which will build endurance and strength. Also important is getting eight hours of sleep. And to reduce stress, set aside a time to be quiet every day.

In this informative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I speak with Dr. Robert Whitfield MD, “America’s Breast Implant Illness Expert™,” to shed light on the often misunderstood and overlooked condition of Breast Implant Illness (BII). As a board-certified plastic surgeon with a unique background in oncology and microsurgery, Dr. Whitfield is leading the charge in revolutionizing how we approach breast explant surgery and post-surgical recovery. With his groundbreaking program, S.H.A.R.P. (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program), Dr. Whitfield integrates advanced testing, personalized care, and holistic wellness to provide a comprehensive path to healing for women around the world.

During the episode, Dr. Whitfield discusses the wide range of symptoms and risks associated with BII, offering invaluable insights on how to recognize the condition and take steps to heal. He also explains his cutting-edge approach to explant surgery and how the SHARP method is transforming patient outcomes by focusing on reducing inflammation and promoting long-term health. As someone who personally elected to have my own breast implants removed in October of 2022, the subject matter of this episode hits close to home and I hope serves as a wonderful resource for other women worldwide.

I recently attended a seminar on brain health and the statistics shocked me:

Nearly two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer’s are women.

That’s roughly 3.8 million women in the U.S. alone.

Alzheimer’s, as you know, is a devastating disease that doesn’t just rob people of their memories—it strips their independence, sense of self, and can become an overwhelming burden for loved ones.

It impacts every aspect of life—leaving women and their families to cope with its heartbreaking effects for years.

And while we’ve been told that Alzheimer’s is all about genetics...

That simply isn’t true.

The latest research shows that the daily choices we make—what we eat, how we move, how we manage stress—can either protect us or push us closer to the disease.

That means YOU have the power to take control of your brain health and lower your risk—starting right now.

And I have a FREE resource that can help you do exactly that:

Tap here for instant ACCESS to Alzheimer’s - The Science of Prevention

I have been following Dr. David Perlmutter’s groundbreaking work for years.

He’s a board-certified neurologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author who has devoted his entire life to studying how lifestyle and diet impact the brain.

His research has transformed the lives of SO many, and I know this documentary series will be just as powerful for you. It’s jam-packed with the latest science and practical tips to help you take action today.

When you tune in to Alzheimer’s - The Science of Prevention, here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Which foods are the best (and the worst) for your brain
  • How one simple beverage could help reduce your Alzheimer’s risk
  • The science of a perfect night’s sleep and how to achieve it every night
  • Easy stress-reducing techniques to protect your brain and improve your quality of life
  • Practical ways to get the right kind of exercise to optimize brain function at any age
This series is about empowering you to take control of your brain health—on YOUR terms.

Then, Jefferey Jaxen reports on the corporate media capitalizing on the tragedy of Hurricane Helene to push more unsettled science of a climate change agenda. Meanwhile, a larger movement threatens humanity as assisted suicide is being pushed in ways that harken back to the days of eugenics.

Finally, Del welcomes New York Times best-selling author and health crusader Vani Hari, otherwise known as ‘The Food Babe.’ Her recent appearance during Senator Ron Johnson’s viral chronic disease roundtable in D.C. capped off another high point in her journey to expose the dangers of ultra-processed foods.

I've been very vocal about how this new "Attention Economy" is dangerously pulling our focus away from our life's priorities and being gamed towards profits for these big companies.



Here are Seven quotes you need to pay attention to-



1- Sean Parker, founder of Napster and former Facebook president:



"The thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook being the first of them, ... was all about: "How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?"



"That means that we needed to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever ... It's a social validation feedback loop ... You're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology ... [The inventors] understood this, consciously, and we did it anyway."


2- Chamath Palihapitiya, former Facebook VP of User Growth:



"The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we've created are destroying how society works."



3- Tristan Harris, former Google Design Ethicist:



"There are a thousand people on the other side of the screen whose job it is to break down the self-regulation you have."



4- Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO:



“You know, think about it, when you watch a show on Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. You really — we're competing with sleep, on the margin.”



"We actually compete with sleep. And we're winning!"



5- Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO (in an internal memo):



"The natural state of the world is not connected. It is not unified. The natural state of the world is isolated, disconnected."



6- Ev Williams, Twitter co-founder:



"I think the internet is broken. And it's a lot more obvious to a lot of people that it's broken."



7- Nir Eyal, author of "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products":



"The hook model is designed to connect the user's problem with the company's solution with enough frequency to form a habit."

///


Now if this doesn't freak you out, go back and read it again.

They are creating addictive media that fights for your sustained attention at the expense of your SLEEP and you own life's priorities.

This is the problem.

If you choose to optimize your health, happiness, productivity, family balance, sleep, or any longer term goals, these technologies are actively working against those goals. They need your eye balls on their platforms to help their bottom lines...not helping you.

Wake up and smell the parasites.

Today, please take a moment to reflect on what's important to you and see how much time and energy has been taken away by social media that could be redirected back onto your life's priorities.

This is the only way we get it back. We have to take it. We've been reading a number of books with my students around this topic and have lively discussions about it. I think it's important to share this sentiment with everybody because it is impacting the fabric of our society.

Let's take our attention back!

Yours in service,

The Anti-Aging Benefits of Aloe Vera
There are over 420 different species of aloe, but the one most commonly used for skin and medicinal purposes is “bitter aloe.” Its most celebrated benefit today is its ability to aid in the healing of burns. However, many people are unaware that aloe also contains a compound called aloesin, which may help fade dark spots (age spots), when applied topically. Additionally, aloe is rich in mucopolysaccharides, which help bind moisture to the skin, enhancing hydration and leaving it feeling softer and more supple. (More)
Americans Eat 12 Plastic Bags Annually
Chances are you know microplastics pose a serious and often invisible threat to our health. These tiny particles have been linked to a range of health issues, including strokes, heart attacks, uncontrolled cell growth, and disruption of the immune system. Now, a new Environmental Working Group report has quantified the threat—estimating that Americans ingest about 150,000 plastic particles annually, which is equivalent to eating 12 plastic shopping bags each year.

When it comes to fiber, most of us believe the more the better. This is generally true since most Americans consume about 15 grams of fiber daily, while the recommended amount is 25-38 grams. However, what may surprise you is that eating too much fiber, which normally keeps things moving as they should, can lead to constipation. This is especially true if you’re not drinking enough water.

Hi Jimi,
I wanted to personally invite you to something I believe could be truly life-changing—the Alzheimer’s World Summit, taking place from October 9-13, 2024.

This summit brings together over 30 experts who will be sharing the latest research and insights into Alzheimer’s, from breakthroughs in science, medicine, technology, and neurology to how nutrition and other lifestyle factors play a role in protecting brain health. You can catch my talk on the first day of the summit– Wednesday, October 9th!
What makes this event so special is the wealth of knowledge that will be shared, knowledge that could help all of us safeguard our memories and improve cognitive health. I’ll be speaking at the event on October 9th, and I’d love to see you there. The best part is, your ticket to join is completely free!

If you’d like to join, you can reserve your free spot here:

Hi Jimi
Who says that just because you have cancer that “runs in the family”… that getting cancer is inevitable?
Otherwise…
Everyone who had these “genes” would have cancer.
But that’s not the case… and you might be surprised to find out why.
Because what if I told you that cancer genes were a myth?
According to the world-renowned Dr. Bruce Lipton…
“There’s actually no such thing as a cancer-causing gene…”
And what if I told you that there was something bigger going on here… something that was missing from the cancer story, a missing link to cancer prevention…
Because even if you have BRCA1 or 2 genes active… or what any other doctor might call a “cancer-causing” gene…
That’s not the full story.
>> Here’s the truth about preventing cancer (even if you have “cancer-causing” genes)
Just make sure that you watch this video now because, with all the mass censorship happening online, this video could be taken down at any moment.
To your health,​
mail
P.S. Remember, cancer does not have to be your genetic destiny.
Just because you’ve had family members who may have had to go through horrible treatments, doesn’t mean you have to have the same fate…
And in this short video, you’ll discover that there’s more to the story than just genetics.
Because while it’s impossible to change your genes, there is something that you can do right now to activate your innate anti-cancer defenses…
>> And it starts by watching this short video.
