Hey Jimi,
Dr. Bryan Ardis just shared some incredible news that I want you to know about…
A recently discovered plant-based spike protein detox agent.
Because despite the relentless censorship and de-platforming he’s faced since the plandemic began…
Dr. Ardis’ message about natural ways to deactivate spike protein has reached tens of millions around the world…

He told me about a very special herb – that’s so renowned it’s mentioned in the Bible.​
​
Dr. Ardis revealed:
“It has the exact same principal reaction as nicotine receptors. It just isn't as potent as nicotine.”
It’s a great alternative for people who experience reactions to nicotine.
And, as an added bonus… You can grow it in your own garden (even a container garden)... There are so MANY life-saving natural medicines that Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about…
That’s why we are so grateful for Dr. Ardis and many other world-class medical experts like Dr. Thomas Levy and Dr. Richard Bartlett… Who are bravely risking their careers to expose the TRUTH.
My good friend Jonathan Otto, an acclaimed investigative journalist and filmmaker, gathered all of their incredible healing protocols to share with you in his BRAND NEW eBook:

Reclaiming Wellness (That you can download for FREE – for a limited time only)​
​
→ Click HERE to download your copy of Reclaiming Wellness
Inside this valuable healing resource, you will:
  • Learn about the heavily censored, yet life-saving, medicine from the acclaimed Dr. Richard Bartlett
  • Discover the horrific impact of COVID “vaccines” on fertility, miscarriages, stillbirths…
  • Uncover the TRUTH about blood clotting “sticky blood” and deadly heart diseases caused by the Bioweapon attack
  • Learn more about the life-threatening effects of myocarditis post “vaccine” from the incredible Dr. Peter McCullough
  • And so. Much. More!
We were told to believe that their “vaccine” was the “cure” for their “virus”....
Dr. Shankara Chetty said it best:
“I knew straight away I'm dealing with a lab-made virus. Whether it was intentional or not, whether there was any motive behind it, I couldn't tell. But I knew it came from a lab straightaway.”
It's in our hands to equip ourselves with the life-changing protocols to reclaim the wellness that was taken from us!
And here's the BEST part:
When you download this amazing eBook, you’re also getting FREE VIP access to Jonathan’s BRAND NEW 9-Episode docuseries Disease in Reverse.
You’ll hear from over 40+ of the world’s top medical doctors and natural health experts who share the uncensored truth about<> highly effective ways to reverse disease with natural medicine protocols…
All you need to do?

It’s January 1st.
Everyone's jumping on the new year-new you train.
But let me ask you... is there a pit in your stomach instead? Like this feeling of dread because you've been here before, and it didn't end well.

Maybe you’re thinking...
"I’m ashamed of how far I’ve let myself go."
"I hate how my clothes fit, but I will crumble if I have to buy a bigger size."
"I don’t feel like myself anymore. And I don’t know how to fix it."

While everyone is on the adrenaline high of starting fresh, I want to recognize you if shame is winning this round.

➡️ You're embarrassed of your weight and how you look.
➡️ You're secretly wondering if you didn't get the big sale or promotion or job because of your weight.
➡️ You have everything you could ever want in life (amazing family, great career, the best friends, beautiful home), but you still don't feel like you're winning because your weight is holding you back.

I'm sharing this with you because it didn't matter if I weighed 150 pounds, or 110 pounds... I felt that exact same type of shame more times on January 1st than I care to admit.

That voice that tells you that you're not enough... it's lying to you.
The problem isn't you. It's your approach to losing weight.

That’s why I created the Break Emotional Eating 4-Day Challenge.

This isn’t about willpower or perfection or another diet. It’s about finding relief from the constant shame spiral and finally seeing results that last.

This challenge is for you if…
➡️ You’ve made promises to yourself before, but you’re scared to try again and fail.
➡️ You feel embarrassed about how far you’ve let things go, and you don’t know where to start.
➡️ You’ve put everyone else’s needs first for so long that you barely recognize yourself anymore.
➡️ You’ve been successful in your career, but your weight feels like the one area where you’re out of integrity with yourself.

It’s free, it’s live, and it starts January 6th at 4 PM EST.

👉 Join the challenge right now!

It’s not too late to change your story.
You don’t have to carry this weight - emotional or physical - into another year.
This is your year to finally break free and start feeling like yourself again.

The Science Behind Cacao​

Cacao beans, the raw ingredient from which chocolate is made, are a powerhouse of nutrients. Unlike highly processed chocolate, raw cacao retains its rich profile of beneficial compounds, making it a true superfood.

Here's why you should consider incorporating cacao into your diet:
  • Rich in Flavanols: Cacao is loaded with flavanols, which are potent antioxidants known to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and enhance heart health.
  • Boosts Brain Function: Studies have shown that the flavonoids in cacao can increase blood flow to the brain, improving cognitive function and potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Mood Enhancer: Cacao stimulates the production of endorphins and serotonin, the feel-good hormones, helping to reduce stress and improve your mood.
  • Supports Weight Management: The fiber content in cacao helps regulate digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, aiding in weight management.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants in cacao help reduce inflammation in the body, promoting overall health and well-being.
  • Rich in Essential Minerals: Cacao is a great source of magnesium, iron, and calcium, essential for various bodily functions including muscle function, oxygen transport, and bone health.

The Taste You Can't Resist​

Not only is cacao incredibly healthy, but it's also delicious. The crunchy sweet coating over the dried cacao bean…the deep, rich flavor of raw cacao makes it a perfect addition to your favorite snacks.

A Guilt-Free Indulgence​

With cacao, you can enjoy the taste of chocolate without the guilt. Free from refined sugars and artificial additives, cacao is as close to nature as you can get.

Episode 403 ​
TODAY, with national and worldwide attention on the pressing issue of vaccine safety, The HighWire revisits the story of one of the most controversial characters on the subject. Dr. Andrew Wakefield was thrust into the spotlight after publishing a study that found measles in the guts of children with autism. For his efforts, the corporate media ran a vicious smear campaign that continues to this day. Despite having his career ruined, Wakefield persisted in his message and advocacy for this community. This episode exonerates Dr. Wakefield with ALL the evidence dissolving the inaccurate label of ‘medical heretic,’ and bestowing his proper title of ‘courageous hero’.

Are Your Supplements Harming You? What to Watch Out For…
Not all dietary supplements are created equal, and poor-quality products with artificial ingredients can pose serious health risks. A study published in JAMA Network Open found that over 23,000 emergency room visits annually in the U.S. are linked to adverse effects from dietary supplements, including liver damage, heart issues, and gastrointestinal distress. Many low-cost supplements contain harmful additives like titanium dioxide, a substance banned in the EU for its potential to cause DNA damage. Additionally, supplements with unregulated artificial fillers or pesticides can accumulate toxins in your body over time, undermining the very health they claim to improve. Choosing high-quality, USDA Certified Organic products ensures you’re avoiding these risks while providing your body with pure, high-quality nutrients. (More)



Are Omega-3s The Key to Slashing Inflammation + Protecting Your Health?
Chronic inflammation is a key driver of many age-related diseases, including arthritis and heart disease. A recent study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women aged 55 and older who took daily omega-3 supplements (from fish or plant-based sources like flaxseed and chia) showed a 22% reduction in inflammatory markers after 12 weeks. This reduction in inflammation can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like arthritis and support heart health. This study underscores the importance of incorporating more omega-3-rich foods into your diet to naturally fight inflammation as you age. (More)




The #1 Delicious Tea That Loves Your Heart
Hibiscus tea isn’t just a refreshing beverage; it’s a natural remedy for managing blood pressure. A study in Frontiers in Pharmacology revealed that drinking hibiscus tea lowered systolic blood pressure by an average of 7.5 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 3.5 mmHg in participants with mild hypertension. This effect is linked to its anthocyanins, potent antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress and promote vascular health. With cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of death globally, a simple cup of hibiscus tea could be a delicious step toward better heart health. (More)​

Newsletter #877: Ban Carcinogenic & Neurotoxic Artificial Food Dyes!
mail

TAKE ACTION​

Tell the FDA to Ban Carcinogenic & Neurotoxic Food Dyes​


A ban on carcinogenic and neurotoxic food dyes is long overdue–if you were born after 1990, they should have been taken off the market before you were born! Beets, red cabbage, and black currants make great red dyes–that’s what’s used in organic food (if it’s colored at all). But, the FDA continues to allow petroleum-derived synthetics like Red 3 and Red 40 to be used in thousands of different foods and drinks sold in the U.S., including frozen desserts, cocktail cherries, breakfast cereals, candy, sugary drinks, and cake frosting.
Red 3, manufactured by United States Biological, is banned in Australia, China, the European Union, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, because long-term animal feeding studies show it causes cancer in animals, specifically thyroid tumors. As of 2027, Red 3 will be banned in California, too, and ten other states have introduced similar legislation.
The Food & Drug Administration is required to ban any color additive that has been found to induce cancer in humans or animals at any dose. The FDA determined that Red 3 causes cancer back in 1990, but it never took action–and it has ignored a 2022 petition filed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, even though it was supposed to respond within six months.

Danger in the Dough: Unveiling the Toxic Contaminants in Girl Scout Cookies​


Article by Michelle Perro, MD, Stephanie Seneff, PhD, and Zen Honeycutt; BFA:
“Consumer groups, GMOScience, Moms Across America, and supporters have commissioned the testing of Girl Scout cookies for toxic metals and glyphosate/AMPA (an herbicide and its byproduct), to promote awareness and positive change for health. The results were extremely concerning.
* 100% of the samples were positive for glyphosate
* 100% were positive for toxic metals
* 22 out of 25 (88%) of samples were positive for all 5 toxic metals
* 76% were positive for levels of cadmium that exceed EPA limits in water
* 24 out of 25 (96%) of samples were positive for lead
(The consumer groups involved reached out to the GSUSA for a meeting before releasing these results and did not receive a response.)
One hundred percent of the 13 types of 25 cookies tested from 3 states, California, Iowa, and
Louisiana, were positive for very elevated levels of glyphosate/AMPA, responsible for multiple health issues including cancer, endocrine disruption, gut issues, miscarriages, sperm damage, autism, neurotoxicity, and reproductive damage.”

CARE WHAT YOU WEAR

Why Natural Hollow Fibers Outperform Traditional Materials​

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:

“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE
* Natural hollow fibers like silk and wool contain microscopic air channels that create superior temperature regulation and moisture management compared to solid fibers like cotton and linen
* A single wool fiber can contain up to 2,500 air chambers per inch, while silk has a unique triangular cross-section with three hollow chambers that create its characteristic sheen
* Hollow fibers can absorb significant moisture while still feeling dry. Wool can absorb 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, unlike cotton, which becomes heavy and cold when damp
* Eucalyptus-derived hollow fibers (Tencel/Lyocell) represent a modern, sustainable alternative that combines natural benefits with manufacturing precision, using just a fraction of the water required for cotton production
* While hollow fiber materials like silk and wool typically cost more upfront, they often prove more economical over time due to superior longevity — a silk pillowcase can last five years compared to a cotton one lasting only one year”
Learn why the transition to hollow fiber materials represents more than a simple upgrade in textile choice — it’s an investment in personal comfort, environmental sustainability, and long-term value



MILLIONS AGAINST MONSANTO

Mexican President Confident Congress Will Ban Planting GM Corn in 2025​

Reuters reports:
“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expects Congress to approve a ban early next year on planting genetically modified corn in the country, she said on Saturday.
Sheinbaum’s announcement comes a day after a trade-dispute panel ruled Mexico’s restrictions on U.S. exports of GM corn violate the USMCA trade agreement.
‘With the help of Mexico’s Congress, we are going to reverse this resolution because very soon, in February, they are going to legislate, I am sure, that you can’t plant genetically modified corn,’ Sheinbaum said at a public event. Mexico’s Congress is dominated by the ruling party.
‘We must protect Mexico’s biodiversity in our country … without corn there is no country.’
The impasse escalated when the U.S. government called on a dispute resolution panel to overturn Mexico’s February 2023 presidential decree that banned the use of GM corn to make tortillas and dough.”

“For the past 11 years, our sister organization, Via Orgánica, has been fighting to protect the 64 native corn varieties and hundreds of local strains in Mexico. These corn varieties not only represent a traditional food source for millions of people but are also key to the country’s biodiversity, culture, cosmogony, and religious rituals. Above all, they are part of the defense of ancestral seeds that have been passed down over 10,000 years by generations of farmers, contributing to both Mexico’s and the world’s agricultural heritage.
We have successfully halted the planting of genetically modified corn in the heart of the crop’s origin region through a civil lawsuit that led to a precautionary measure preventing its commercial cultivation. This victory also serves as a powerful defense against multinational corporations like Bayer-Monsanto, Syngenta, and Dow Agrosciences.”

SAVE THE POLLINATORS

Bee Alert: Pesticides Pose a Real Threat to More Than 70% of Wild Bees​

From Phys.org by University of Ottawa:
“A new study reveals alarming risks that pesticides pose to ground-nesting bees, which are crucial for pollination and food production. As agriculture increasingly relies on pesticides to protect crops, the unintended consequences for these essential pollinators are becoming clearer.
The research highlights the urgent need to reassess pesticide safety standards to protect these essential pollinators. The work is published in the journal Science.
The study reveals that current pesticide risk assessments, which primarily use honeybees as test subjects, fail to account for the unique vulnerabilities of wild bees that nest in soil. ‘Our findings show that over 70% of wild bee species, which are crucial for pollinating our food crops, face significant risks from pesticide residues in soil—a threat current regulations overlook,’ says Dr. Rondeau.”

BIODIVERSITY

Artificial Lights at Night Do More Harm Than You Realize: Here’s How To Light Your Garden Responsibly​

Molly Blair, Gardens Illustrated:
“Lighting is a crucial part of garden and landscape design. Lights are used to extend the hours of use in the garden, light driveways and pathways to make them safe and for general security. However, all artificial lighting has an effect on wildlife and the local ecosystem, so it is important to light gardens responsibly.
‘All living things, including animals, plants and microbes, have evolved under a natural rhythm of night and day,’ says garden designer Rachel Bailey MSGD. ‘As the world has rapidly become urban and light pollution extends into rural and offshore areas, the distinction between night and day has become blurred.’
Artificial light at night, also known as ALAN, has wide-reaching effects on the organisms around it. DarkSky International, the global organisation combating light pollution, said in its annual report that ‘ALAN is one of the most pressing and imminent threats to global biodiversity.'”
