I was trying to search how a forum works, what some of the functions are, and stumbled onto this (not that it's the first time I've ever seen something like this, but I decided to see what nanny government is saying lately):

"What is vaping":

What is Vaping? | Texas DSHS

www.dshs.texas.gov

The article says:

"Battery-powered vape devices create an aerosol that looks like water vapor but contains nicotine, flavoring, and more than 30 other chemicals."

Where to they get that? From other nannies and ANTZ? I can't tell you how often I have read how there are all these "chemicals" in vape liquid. Using open systems from the start, my liquids have always contained PG, VG and a flavoring. I don't know where they get this BS, since flavoring ingredients are proprietary and the makers of them won't give them out. I do recognize that flavorings are the unknown when it comes to lung health, for which reason I vape unflavored when I'm around others. However, the almost immediate healing of my lungs after taking up vaping and quitting cigarettes, simply belies the alarmism and the medical pot stirring over vaping.

Yesterday I was reading “The War Of Art” by Stephen Pressfield and came across a passage on inner resistance, detailing how it blocks our ability to manifest new and beautiful things in our reality. It felt worth sharing.

I took some liberties with the quote below, and added in the word “fear” to replace the word “resistance” that is in the original.

Hope this stirs up some goodness in your psyche...

"Like a magnetized needle floating on a surface of oil, fear will unfailingly point to true North — meaning that calling or action it wants to stop us from doing.

We can use this. We can use it as a compass. We can navigate by fear, letting it guide us to that calling or action that we must follow before all others.

Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more fear we will feel toward pursuing it.”

A parting question for you - what big action or life change do you fear most? Is there a way to transmute this fear into a compass that helps you move forward?

Did you know...?

Lentils contain the third-highest amount of protein of any legume, just after hemp seeds and soybeans? According to historical records, lentils are believed to be one of the oldest crops around. They are commonly eaten as an alternative to animal products not only because they are high in protein, but because they also contain certain vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins that are commonly found in meat, with the added benefit of plant fiber.
In good health,

3 Steps for Prevention of Alzheimer’s

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

There’s a three-step plan that experts recommend to help prevent both heart disease and Alzheimer’s to maintain a long and healthy life.

1. Manage Blood Pressure. Controlling high blood pressure is key to reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke, and protecting your brain as well. That’s true whether you reduce your blood pressure through lifestyle changes or through medication. A recent study found that people with high blood pressure who took potassium-sparing diuretics reduced their risk of Alzheimer’s by 75%, and those taking hypertension medications in general cut their risk by a third.

Special: Change How Your Brain Ages in a Matter of Days…

2. Lower Inflammation. Bodily inflammation is a common trigger of both heart attack and Alzheimer’s. To lower inflammation, which will also lower cholesterol, take low-dose aspirin aspirin daily (ask your doctor first), follow a plant-based or Mediterranean diet, take vitamin C, supplement your diet with fish oil, drink fresh juice from any colorful fruit or vegetable, and quit smoking.

3. Get Moving. Numerous studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can not only keep you sharper, but also reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s. Most research has focused on aerobic exercise, because of the theory that it gets more oxygen to the brain. But there is also evidence that weight training and balance exercise are beneficial.

Although there remains much to learn about Alzheimer’s disease, its connection with cardiovascular disease is becoming increasingly obvious. All of this boils down to one simple, powerful message: If you do everything in your power to prevent heart disease, you’ll be keeping your brain healthy, too.

Hey there Jimi,

I don’t know about you, but at the end of a long work day my muscles are all in knots.

I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and I’ll be the first to admit I could have better posture.

I’ve also been dealing with lower back problems for years and knee problems for months, and that has definitely led to some muscle tightness in uncomfortable places.

Last month, it got so bad I had to see a chiropractor and a physical therapist for help easing the pain caused by all the knots and tension in my muscles.

They both gave me a list of simple but highly effective stretches and movements to do every day to relax my muscles. I’ve been doing them (mostly) faithfully and I’ve seen a huge difference in my mobility and pain level.

If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’ll find these muscle-relaxing movements incredibly useful to help you loosen the tension and stretch away the stress.

Here are the five that I’ve found most effective:

1) Lying T Twist – This one was recommended to me to stretch and re-align my spine, but it does wonders to ease tension in my neck and hips, too. It’s one of the exercises my chiropractor insisted I do every single day. Since I’ve started, I’ve noticed far less spinal pain when I twist and bend, and I have much greater mobility throughout the day.

Watch this video to see how it’s done…

2) Cat Cow Pose – I love this pose for relaxing my spinal muscles, which can get quite stiff after a long day of sitting, or when I’m on my feet all day long while traveling or at conferences. It’s a really simple exercise, too, one that takes virtually no effort but yields amazing results.

Watch this video to see how it’s done…

3) Lunging Hip Flexor Stretch – This stretch is an absolute game-changer for guys like me who have limited hip mobility and want to loosen up the tension in their lower spinal muscles. By leaning into the deep lunging stretch, the movement helps open up your hips and increases range of motion. It’s also great for loosening up tight joint tissue around my knees and improving ankle and foot flexibility.

Watch this video to see how it’s done…

4) Forward Fold – On the days when I’m really tense and stressed, the tightness in my spine can create knots from my shoulder muscles all the way down to my lower back. This simple movement—done either on its own or as part of a Yoga Sun Salutation sequence—is one of my favorites to work out the kinks in my spinal muscles and loosen up my back. It’s also been amazing for loosening my glutes and hamstrings, which can get tight after a long day of sitting. I’ll do it before and after going to the gym, working around my house, or just before climbing into bed and feel so much more relaxed afterward.

Watch this video to see how it’s done…

5) Seated Spinal Twist – This is one of my favorites to do while in the middle of a busy writing session. I don’t have to stand up, set up any equipment, or move from my chair. I just sit normally and twist my upper body to loosen my spinal muscles.

Watch this video to see how it’s done…

Add these five gentle movements and stretches into your day and I guarantee you’ll feel looser and more limber.

Plus, the added mobility you’ll experience as a result of these stretches will lower your injury risk and decrease the muscle pain caused by tension and stress.​
Yours in good health,​

Exercising now can increase your chances of successfully fighting cancer in the future.

Even low levels of exercise provided protection against cancer, a new study published Jan. 7 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows.

People were 47% less likely to die from cancer if they’d been engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity prior to their diagnosis, compared to people not exercising at all, researchers found.

Likewise, those engaging in light exercise had a 33% lower risk of dying from cancer, compared with none at all, the study says.

“Physical activity may be considered to confer substantial benefits in terms of progression and overall mortality to those diagnosed with cancer,” concluded the team led by senior researcher Dr. Jon Patricios, an associate professor with the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Special: 5 Signs You'll Get Cancer – and How to Stop It...

“In a world where cancer continues to be a significant public health burden, the promotion of physical activity can yield important benefits regarding the progression of cancer as well as its prevention and management,” the researchers added.

For the study, researchers tracked the health of more than 28,000 people diagnosed with early-stage cancers in South Africa between 2007 and 2022. Breast and prostate cancers were the most common, representing 44% of cases.

Researchers compared the patients’ levels of physical activity in the 12 months prior to their cancer diagnosis with how quickly their cancer progressed after diagnosis.

Moderate-intensity exercise includes walking briskly, bicycling slowly, taking active yoga, or doing yard work. Vigorous exercise includes running, swimming laps, bicycling fast, or taking an aerobics class.

They found that moderate to high levels of exercise reduced the risk of cancer progressing to more dangerous stages by 27%, compared to no exercise.

Light exercise reduced the risk of cancer progression by 16%, results show.

What’s more, exercise prior to cancer was associated with lower risks of progression and death as far as five years out from diagnosis, researchers found.

The researchers speculated that exercise might help prepare the body to fight cancer by strengthening natural immunity.

Exercise might also lower the progression risk of hormone-driven cancers like breast and prostate cancer by improving the body’s regulation of estrogen and testosterone.

“Public health guidelines should encourage individuals to engage in physical activity to not only prevent cancer but to mitigate the risk of cancer progression,” the researchers concluded

TAKE ACTION

“Milk” From GMO Microbes? Tell Trump’s New FDA To Get It off the Market!​

Tell Trump’s new FDA (in the Department of Health & Human Services) to re-review genetically engineered synthetic Frankenfoods, including Perfect Day’s synthetic whey protein, made from a genetically engineered fungal microbe. It’s the main ingredient in Bored Cow’s synthetic “milk.”
This GMO fungal microbe “milk” got Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in 2020 even though the synthetic whey protein was contaminated with heavy metals and genetically engineered fungal proteins that are similar to known allergens. This was in the first administration of President Donald Trump. His FDA Commissioner at the time was Dr. Stephen Hahn, who went from that role through the proverbial revolving door to a job as the chief medical officer of Flagship Pioneering, the venture capital firm behind the synthetic biology companies Moderna and Editas.
According to the information submitted by Perfect Day to the FDA, the level of T. reesei (the genetically engineered fungal microbe that produces the synthetic protein) in the product is up to 6.7 percent.
That’s bad enough! But, independent testing conducted by scientist John Fagan of the Health Research Institute (HRI) found that there is very little bio-identical whey protein in Bored Cow’s “milk.” In fact, it’s mostly genetically engineered fungal proteins. These proteins have never been part of the human diet before, and some (at least 92) are unidentifiable, being unknown to science.
These recent scientific discoveries warrant a new review.

NEW STUDY

Plant-Based Beverages Are Less Nutritious Than Cow’s Milk​

By University of Copenhagen – Faculty of Science, SciTechDaily:
“While milk is essentially a finished product when it comes out of a cow, oats, rice, and almonds require extensive processing during their conversion to a drinkable beverage. Moreover, each of the plant-based drinks tested underwent Ultra High Temperature (UHT) treatment, a process that is widely used for long-life milks around the world. In Denmark, milk is typically found only in the refrigerated sections of supermarkets and is low-pasteurized, meaning that it receives a much gentler heat treatment.
‘Despite increased plant-based drink sales, cow milk sales remain higher. Consequently, plant-based drinks undergo more intense heat treatments than the milk typically sold in Denmark, in order to extend their shelf life. But such treatment comes at a cost,’ says Marianne Nissen Lund.
Heat treatment may produce carcinogens: besides reducing nutritional value, heat treatment also generates new compounds in plant-based drinks. One such compound measured by the researchers in four of the plant-based drinks made from almonds and oats is acrylamide, a carcinogen that is also found in bread, cookies, coffee beans, and fried potatoes, including French fries.”

BILLION AGAVE PROJECT

Agaves: The Fire-Resistant Guardians of the Landscape​

Regeneration International:
As wildfires continue to ravage communities and ecosystems worldwide, it’s time to explore innovative solutions for protecting our landscapes.
One promising approach is the Billion Agave Project, which leverages the fire-resistant nature of agaves to create more resilient ecosystems.
Why Agaves?
Agaves, a type of succulent, have evolved to thrive in fire-prone environments. Their unique characteristics make them an ideal choice for fire protection:
* Thick, waxy skin: Agaves’ skin is incredibly resistant to heat, preventing them from igniting easily.
* High water content: Agaves store water in their leaves, making them less likely to catch fire and providing a natural firebreak.
* Deep roots: Agaves’ extensive root systems allow them to survive fires that might destroy other vegetation.
The Billion Agave Project
The Billion Agave Project aims to plant one billion agaves worldwide, creating a network of fire-resistant ecosystems. This initiative has numerous benefits:
* Fire protection: Agaves’ natural fire resistance can help contain wildfires, protecting surrounding landscapes and communities.
* Ecosystem restoration: Agaves provide habitat and food for various wildlife, supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
* Climate change mitigation: Agaves absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
* Sustainable land management: Agaves require minimal maintenance and can thrive in challenging environments, making them an ideal choice for sustainable land management.
Join the movement and help plant one billion agaves to safeguard our planet's precious landscapes

APPETITE FOR A CHANGE

Titanium Dioxide, Banned in Europe, Is One of the Most Common Food Additives in the U.S.​

“Titanium dioxide is the most widely used whitening pigment in the world and has been linked to adverse health effects, particularly genotoxicity and intestinal inflammation. It is applied as food coloring and a whitening agent to a wide variety of foods, including chewing gum, cakes, candies, breads and ice cream.
Because of health risks, France banned titanium dioxide as a food additive in 2020. Two years later the European Union also banned titanium dioxide as a food additive.
But in the U.S., titanium dioxide is found all over the grocery shelves. Candy like Skittles, Starbursts, and Jell-O, gum like Trident White peppermint gum and Mentos Freshmint Gum, cake products like Duncan Hines Creamy Vanilla Frosting, and Nabisco Chips Ahoy! cookies are just a few of the myriad food items that contain the additive.”

HEALTH

Links Between Gut Health, Immunity and Wellness​

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:
“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE
* Your microbiome plays an important role in training your immune system, with gut dysfunction and increased permeability often leading to autoimmune diseases and inflammation
* A healthy colon requires an oxygen-free environment for beneficial bacteria, but environmental toxins and compromised mitochondrial function disrupt this delicate balance
* Modern environmental toxins, including microplastics and EMFs, act as mitochondrial poisons, increasing oxygen in the colon and promoting growth of harmful bacteria
* Health coaching is a key component of sustainable wellness, providing necessary support and accountability while helping patients implement lasting lifestyle changes
* The collaboration between medical professionals, researchers and health coaches will be key in fostering a health care system that prioritizes holistic, patient-centered care”

Hello Jimi,

In a world where chronic gut conditions are reaching epidemic proportions, the culprits often lurk in our everyday environment. The rising rates of SIBO, ulcerative colitis, IBD, and other digestive disorders appear to be more closely tied to our toxic surroundings than previously understood.​
​
We kick off Season Two of Gordon Medical Forum with environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Lyn Patrick and Dr. Nafysa Parpia discussing a critical but often overlooked factor in the growing epidemic of chronic gut conditions: the role of environmental toxicants, with a special focus on glyphosate and mold/mycotoxins.

Whether you're struggling with chronic gut issues or simply want to protect your digestive health in an increasingly toxic world, this episode provides essential insights for understanding and addressing these hidden health challenges.​

Hello Jimi,

In a world where chronic gut conditions are reaching epidemic proportions, the culprits often lurk in our everyday environment. The rising rates of SIBO, ulcerative colitis, IBD, and other digestive disorders appear to be more closely tied to our toxic surroundings than previously understood.​
​
We kick off Season Two of Gordon Medical Forum with environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Lyn Patrick and Dr. Nafysa Parpia discussing a critical but often overlooked factor in the growing epidemic of chronic gut conditions: the role of environmental toxicants, with a special focus on glyphosate and mold/mycotoxins.

Whether you're struggling with chronic gut issues or simply want to protect your digestive health in an increasingly toxic world, this episode provides essential insights for understanding and addressing these hidden health challenges.​
