Stories That Heal Podcast​
Tune in to our newest episode of the Radical Remission Project's “Stories That Heal” podcast featuring Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer Thriver, Alissa Perez.​
Alissa was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in January 2021, and despite the doctor's belief that she would never "get better", she achieved full remission via PET scan in June 2021.

As Alissa puts it, “I have read everything I can get my hands on, including Dr. Kelly Turner’s book, Radical Remission, which inspired me further in my belief that I could actually change the outcome of my life!” She attributes her healing to her faith, spirituality, and all the integrative modalities she utilized on her quest for restoration, including dietary changes, adding supplements, individualized testing, detoxification through sauna and coffee enemas, red light therapy, yoga, mindfulness, hydration, and many more!

Alissa says she couldn’t be more grateful for the integrative giants whose shoulders she is now standing on as she, too, has “survived cancer against all odds.” The deeper she dives into the holistic world, the more confident she becomes that our faith, our choices, and our community will indeed restore us to health and give us peace.​

Colostrum has been treasured as “Nature’s First Food”
A mother’s body produces in the first days after birth to provide life-sustaining antibodies and growth factors.

But did you know that these same compounds are also found in bovine colostrum from grass-fed cows—and may offer surprising benefits for adults, too?
Modern research is beginning to confirm what Ayurvedic medicine has taught for thousands of years: colostrum may play a valuable role in gut healing, immune support, and even reducing some of the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

In this week’s blog, we explore:
  • How colostrum may help protect against “leaky gut” during chemotherapy and radiation
  • Promising research on reducing side effects like mouth sores
  • Its potential role in immune regulation and cancer support
  • What to know before adding colostrum to your healing journey
Read the full article and discover if colostrum could be part of your path forward.

Hi Jimi,
Seed oils are at the center of one of today’s fiercest food fights.
Some people call them toxic and blame them for everything from inflammation to obesity.
Others see them as affordable and heart-healthy alternatives to animal fats.
So who’s right? And what really matters for your health?
Get the whole story here.
Yours for wise choices,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. Major food chains are replacing seed oils with beef tallow. Is that a good choice, or a health disaster? Find out what the research tells us about seed oils.

You check food labels. But what about your deodorant?​

Many everyday “self-care” products like lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, and even baby oil contain chemicals linked to hormone disruption, immune stress, and long-term health effects
(Gore et al., 2015; Diamanti-Kandarakis et al., 2009).

Even worse? Some of the most questionable ingredients don’t have to be listed…

“fragrance” alone can hide hundreds of them (Dodson et al., 2012).

Here’s the truth most people don’t know:

Many personal care products are never tested for long-term safety in humans. (FDA)

Not your lotion. Not your deodorant. Not your shampoo.

Yet many contain phthalates, parabens, and synthetic musks…

These chemicals are shown to mimic estrogen, interfere with hormone signaling, and build up in the body over time (Diamanti-Kandarakis et al., 2009; Ferguson et al., 2017).

And yes, your skin can absorb them.

Studies show that within just hours of applying common body products, those compounds show up in your urine (Janjua et al., 2008).

👉 That’s why Mama Z created the Non-Toxic Body Care & Recipe Guide

The Overwhelming Proof That “Alternative” Medicine Works​

From a very young age, most of us are taught that the only “true” approach to healing our bodies is through modern medicine.

We see commercials championing pharmaceuticals (with strange lists of side effects at the end) and it seems that our health insurance companies only want to pay for drugs or surgery.

We willingly follow our doctor’s pronouncements – their diagnoses, prescriptions, prognoses, and projections of how many months or years we should expect to live… all under the assumption that their methods are proven by science and everything else is not.

Are they right? Or is it possible that there is just as much science to support natural and alternative approaches to healing disease?

The answer might shock you.


Thousands of studies are now showing that many “alternative” medicines and therapies (that your doctor doesn’t know about or isn’t allowed to recommend) are FAR superior for the majority of chronic health conditions we suffer from...

If you want to expand your horizons and discover fact-based solutions for what is ailing you (or a family member), there’s a 9-part documentary series called Proven: Healing Breakthroughs Backed By Science, airing September 9-17 - and it’s an absolute must-see!

Natural Remedies Combat Snoring

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Approximately half of Americans snore, which occurs when your airflow is restricted during sleep. Loud or long-term snoring increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, and other health problems.

It can also indicate a serious sleep disorder called chronic sleep apnea. In fact, 75% of people who snore have sleep apnea, a condition that causes breathing to stop intermittently during sleep, raising the risk of developing heart disease.

Special: Discover the 7 Simple Steps to a Better Night’s Sleep

Nonsurgical remedies for snoring include:

Lifestyle changes. Avoid alcohol before going to bed and maintain a healthy weight. Alcohol and sedatives reduce the resting tone of muscles in the back of your throat, making it more likely you will snore.

Change your sleep position. Sleeping on your back causes the tongue to move backwards, potentially obstructing the airway and causing a vibrating sound. Shift your position and try sleeping on your side.

Raise your head. Place pillows underneath your head to raise it slightly to help keep airways open.

Take a hot shower before bedtime. This could help open nasal passages and assist your breathing. You can also rinse your nose with saltwater when you’re showering to open nasal passages.

Did you know that most skin care products are toxic?
Over 200 ingredients used in cosmetics have been identified as potential “endocrine-disruptors”, meaning they can wreak havoc on your hormones and cause all kinds of serious health issues.
AD_4nXcCiJ1lsX_jHB-FBcoSYModVuvM0WOLUziVD95tzUZaVRRfYHHQjfTCX0u1QEJSaNNOS6CNtr5lcwDPeciAxi2iml7vs7TC4kYZnAw91TbWLSFxPhnW_jChEoBY3llVDzB5IxNvU4piSuP8np01c1-4IDQ?key=MYXiJs3GZQXXIHEKILus5w
Others used in cosmetics are known carcinogens.
Here are 5 of the worst chemicals to avoid in your cosmetic and personal care labels...
1. Parabens
Parabens are cheap preservatives that are put in a lot of cosmetic products that wreak havoc on the hormone estrogen and can increase breast cancer risk.
You’ll easily recognize these ingredients since they all end in “paraben” such as ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben.
2. Fragrance
No one is really sure what’s in it because manufacturers are not required to disclose the ingredients that make up a fragrance. What is known is that it can be any number of over 3000 chemicals.
So if all the label says is “fragrance,” assume it’s a secret chemical cocktail that may be damaging for your health.
3. Phthalates
These chemicals are common in many cosmetics and are well-known for causing a range of issues, including reproductive dysfunction, congenital disabilities, asthma, diabetes, and ADHD.
They’re used in many products to make them more liquid, like moisturizers and skin lotions.
To help you identify these ingredients, look for items listed as DBP (dibutyl phthalate) DEP (diethyl phthalate), BBP (benzyl butyl phthalate), or similar.
4. Triclosan or Microban
These are chemicals used to prevent bacterial growth, but neither of them discriminate between your good and bad bacteria and may be responsible for the rise of superbugs and other dangerous illnesses.
These were banned from antibacterial soaps several years ago; HOWEVER, they’re still allowed and common in deodorants, shaving products, creams, color cosmetics, and more.
5. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
SLS is a common ingredient used as a foaming agent in soaps and shampoos, and it’s typically safe when used briefly and rinsed from the skin.
But it’s also used as a thickening agent in facial creams, lotions, cleansers, and even hair dye, which your skin absorbs. And this has been linked to kidney and liver dysfunction.
===
The bottom line is that your skin is a crucial part of your body’s immune system...in fact, it’s your biggest organ.
And I want to make sure that you’re taking very smart steps to protect it. That’s why I’m sharing with you a NEW special report from our friends at Purity Woods...

Microplastics: The Emerging Health Crisis​
The 'snap' you hear when twisting the cap off your plastic water bottle as you repeatedly open and close it, and your morning coffee in that disposable cup from your favorite coffee shop.

These are the two biggest offenders in the world of microplastics.

New research shows microplastics are found in almost every tissue in the body and have an impact on our brain health.

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic smaller than five millimeters, about the size of a pencil eraser or a small peppercorn. To put this in perspective, many are much smaller and even so microscopic that they are invisible to the naked eye.

You can dive in and learn more about the latest research on the impact of microplastics on your health and simple steps to remove them from your everyday environment in our latest Gordon Medical article.​

BILLIONS AGAINST BAYER

The Extraordinary Health Threat of Glyphosate in Factory Farm Chicken and Eggs​

Beyond Pesticides:

“A scientific review in World’s Poultry Science Journal highlights the adverse health effects on avian species from exposure to the widely used weed killer glyphosate (Roundupᵀᴹ) throughout the process of poultry production. The herbicide enters the poultry production system through residues in genetically engineered feed. An earlier article in Scientific Reports concludes that glyphosate’s (GLP) ‘widespread application on feed crops leaves residues in the feed,’ while residues are ‘found to be common in conventional eggs acquired from grocery stores.’

In analyzing the biochemical, toxicological, and ecological impacts of glyphosate on poultry, particularly chickens, the authors find a wide body of evidence linking glyphosate and its metabolite (breakdown product) aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) to debilitating hazards that extend beyond mortality.

These sublethal effects include disruption of the gut microbiome and gastrointestinal disease; decreased productivity and diminished reproductive health; hepatic and kidney toxicity; growth and developmental impacts, including teratogenicity and embryotoxicity; endocrine disruption and oxidative stress; and impaired immune functions.”

Read how Glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) formulations contain not only glyphosate but other inert (nondisclosed) ingredients, such as adjuvants that increase toxicity

MAJOR VICTORY

Mexico Moves on Pesticide Ban After Historic Decree This Week​

Mexico is making meaningful strides to protect biodiversity and public health. Earlier this year, constitutional reforms safeguarded native maize. And just this week—on September 3—a Presidential Decree banned the import, sale, and use of 35 pesticides deemed highly toxic to both people and pollinators.
These chemicals—already banned in many countries and covered by international agreements Mexico has signed—include aldicarb, carbofuran, endosulfan, and DDT. Their removal is a major victory, as they damage the nervous system, disrupt DNA and hormones, pollute water, and devastate bees, pollinators, and birds.
Agriculture Secretary Julio Berdegué has stressed a vision of “cleaner, more sustainable, and safer agriculture for producers, farmworkers, and consumers.” While dangerous insecticides are still in widespread use, this week’s decree marks a turning point and a foundation for broader reform.
Civil society and farming communities are calling for the next step: banning additional toxic chemicals such as chlorpyrifos, paraquat, glyphosate, and more, while replacing them with safe, effective agroecological alternatives.
Momentum is growing. With this week’s historic action and the pressure of grassroots voices.
Read how Mexico is moving closer to a future where farming flourishes in harmony with nature—delivering healthier food systems and a safer environment for generations to come

NEW STUDY

Music Sparks Social Imagination and Eases Loneliness​

Elissa Blake, Neuroscience News:
“Have you ever felt like music keeps you company? Does music truly offer companionship or is it simply a figure of speech? A new study led by Dr Steffen A. Herff, cognitive neuroscientist at Sydney, Music, Mind and Body Lab at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, has shown for the first time empirically that music can indeed keep you company by facilitating imagined social interactions.
‘Music appears to act as a catalyst for social imagination,’ Dr Herff said. ‘Even without words or voices, it can trigger thoughts of connection, warmth and companionship.’ ‘Whether we’re celebrating or grieving, music is something we can turn to,’ Dr Herff said. ‘This study shows that beyond shaping our emotions, music can also shape our thoughts and imagination, highlighting that music can indeed be good company.’
Dr Herff said the findings offer new insight into how music can shape higher order cognitive processes like imagination. The team hopes that the finding may help develop low-cost, easily accessible ways of systematically using music to alleviate feelings of loneliness, especially in times of isolation such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and complement existing recreational, artistic and professional usages of imagination.”

HEALTH

Losing Biodiversity, Losing Nutrients and Flavors​

Food Print Podcast:

“In the last few decades, there’s been a lot of research on the health of people. Why are people getting less healthy? And as part of that discussion, there’s been a lot of research into the nutrient density of food and trying to determine, why do we start to see declining levels of nutrients in food?

And so for the same amount of calories, why are people getting, actually, less than we did say 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago from food? And there seems to be an empty calorie problem where we’ve got the calories, we’re producing the food with artificial fertilizers, with synthetic pesticides, we’re producing it, but the question is, what are we doing on a microscopic level that is compromising that food?

We try to put in fertilizer as the artificial way of adding nutrients to the soil. The problem with that is the more fertilizer you put in does not amount to the more nutrition you get out of that food. It doesn’t work that way.” —Dr. Urvashi Rangan


Read how the answer really lies in not using chemistry to address all these issues, but rather using nature and the power of nature and its ecosystem and to cultivate that in order to take care of these problems

TAKE ACTION

Time to Put Children’s Health Above Pesticide Industry Profits​

Stacy Malkan, Real Clear Health:

“When chemical giant Syngenta hired biologist Tyrone Hayes to study its widely used herbicide atrazine, the company didn’t like the results. Hayes found that atrazine, one of the most common weed killers in America, disrupted hormones in frogs and altered their sexual development.

Instead of facing the science, Syngenta went into product-defense mode: pressuring Hayes not to publish, and when he did, launching a full-scale effort to discredit him. Internal company documents later revealed a coordinated campaign to smear Hayes’s reputation and bury his findings.

This story is typical of how the world’s largest chemical corporations act when confronted with evidence their products cause harm. Today, just four multinationals dominate the global pesticide market – Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, and Corteva. All of them have long histories of suppressing inconvenient science, manipulating regulators, and attacking critics to weaken regulation and keep their profits flowing. Meanwhile, American children are exposed to many toxic chemicals that are not allowed in other countries.”



Learn more about how it’s more than just atrazine. American children are exposed to dozens of pesticides and chemicals that Europe and other countries have deemed too dangerous.

TAKE ACTION: Ban Roundup, Don’t Bail Out Bayer!

Broad Coalition, Including OCA, Calls on Congress To Reject Fast-Moving Legislation to Shield Chemical Companies From Liability​

Cen
ter for Food Safety:

“Legislative language moving through Congress, intended to prevent farmers, consumers, and workers from holding pesticide manufacturers accountable for the harm caused by their toxic products, is being opposed by a broad coalition of farmers, beekeepers, consumers, environmentalists, and workers, with the release of a joint statement opposing a dramatic change in a fundamental legal right.

The document, Protect the Right of Farmers, Consumers, and Workers to Hold Pesticide Companies Accountable for Their Harmful Products, is joined by 51 organizations, coalitions, businesses, and leaders representing tens of thousands of members and communities. The legislation is hidden in a provision of the Appropriations bill (Section 453) that has passed through the Appropriations Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, which is headed for a vote in the full House, followed by the U.S. Senate.

The Appropriations provision is being pushed by chemical companies in the wake of extraordinary jury verdicts against Bayer/Monsanto, amounting to billions of dollars of compensatory and punitive damages, for ‘failure-to-warn’ liability claims involving glyphosate (Roundup??) weed killer products. The pesticide has been classified as cancer causing by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization (WHO).”
