Nature Has An Answer To Everything!
Among country people, like my family on the farm, there was always a saying: the cure grows next to the poison. It seemed true! Dock leaves always grew near nettles and were the perfect antidote to nettle stings. Jewel Weed grows near poison ivy and is a good antidote to its poisonous leaves.

Taken overall, nature has a remedy for everything.

There is one particularly fine remedy from Italy I want to talk about. Now, no jokes about being the antidote to pasta! It is, actually, the perfect antidote to metabolic syndrome: cholesterol, blood sugar control and obesity. Since those are caused or made worse by pastas, pastries, and pizza, there is a kind of synchronicity that is amusing.

It’s called bergamot and the very BEST bergamot is grown only in the extreme south of Italy, in a region called Calabria. It’s a citrus fruit; in other words, related to oranges and lemons.



Bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia)

What Does It Do?

Well, I’d take it instead of statins for a start. Bergamot is LOADED with lots of fine healthy plant substances called polyphenols, which include super-healthy flavonoids. These are the tools that get the job done.

There are seven major flavonoids in Bergamot:

Naringin, which is anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, reduces LDL cholesterol, reduces abdominal fat and regenerates human cells.

Neohesperidin is another beaut: it’s a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, liver protective and also relieves osteoarthritis.

Buteridin lowers blood fats (like statins are supposed to do but without the side effects of statins).

Melitidin actually lowers cholesterol and is basically like plant-statins! (again, without dangerous side-effect)

There are 3 other flavonoids. Are you getting this? Bergamot is one helluva fruit for cardiovascular and metabolic health!

Now the thing is, as usual, you can buy cheap junk versions of anything on Amazon. They label it bergamot, but it’s not worth the shipping, never mind the cost of goods. But there is one absolutely sure way of knowing what you are getting: it’s called the BP Fraction, or BPF. That stands for “Bergamot-derived polyphenol fraction” and it tells you what strength the ingredients are.

Now I can’t stop sellers lying and producing fake documents but the truth of the BPF you are looking for is that it is certified by the Instituto del Bergamotta in Italy. If you are not confident the certificate is genuine, don’t buy the stuff!

The MAXIMUM strength anyone can get up to, to date, is 47% BPF. And it so happens my Dr. Keith’s Own® Physician’s Strength Bergamot is that very same 47% BPF quality. Nobody in the world can come close to this, because the Instituto only sells to those I buy from!

So if you are looking to solve any of the following issues (and more):

  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Diabetes
  • Heart attack
  • Kidney disease
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
  • Cardiovascular disease
Consider this very fine addition to whatever treatment your doctor is prescribing. Nature does it better than drugs ever do!

Reducing the Risk of Preeclampsia



When singer Beyonce was pregnant with her twins, Rumi and Sir, she developed preeclampsia, which led to a month's bed rest before an emergency C-section. And the babies were in neonatal intensive care for a month after birth.

Preeclampsia is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and high amounts of protein in the urine, which can damage fetal development and endanger a woman's health. It affects about one in 25 pregnancies in the United States every year.

Special: Silicon Valley in Panic After Truth Is Exposed

Afterward, mom may develop high blood pressure and heart disease. And we now know it can cause mental, behavioral, and emotional problems in kids.

A Finnish study of 4,743 mother-child pairs, published in the journal Hypertension, found that kids had a 66% higher risk of mental disorders if their moms suffered from preeclampsia, and a 100% greater risk if the preeclampsia was severe.

The causes of preeclampsia are complex — including having multiples, like Beyonce. The good news is that you can reduce the risk by losing weight if you are overweight, not smoking anything, getting your blood pressure under control if you have high levels, exercising regularly, and — if you have a high-risk pregnancy — taking 81 mg of aspirin daily after your 12th week.

Early diagnosis and treatment can control preeclampsia and help assure that you and your baby will be healthy for years to come.

That's why it is so important for all pregnant women to have regular prenatal doctor's visits to check blood pressure and urine protein levels, as well as a Doppler scan that measures blood flow to the placenta.

Hi Jimi!

Right now, we’re all looking for quick, easy, and cheap hacks to improve our nutrition.

I’m excited to share with you a tip that covers all three! It’s one of my favorite things for helping you be prepared, and for adding super-nutrients to your day.

When I did a Facebook Live on it recently, thousands of people tuned in.

What am I talking about? Sprouting!

Sprouting unlocks all the nutrition, releasing the life-force potential.

It’s the beginning stage of plant growth, when the hard exterior softens, and the seed develops a sort of “tail” that’s the new plant life.

Maybe sprouting is something you’ve thought about, but let me tell you, it’s easier than you might think. And so versatile… throw live sprouts in smoothies, sprinkle them atop salads and soups, add them to sandwiches, and more.


mail

I keep a jar or two of sprouted seeds growing on my kitchen counter. (You can also sprout nuts, beans, grains, and legumes.)

Sprouts are nutritional powerhouses. In fact, when people ask me, “What’s the best possible food you can eat?,” I say, “Live sprouts!”.

How can you get started sprouting at home?

All you need are:

  • Some organic, non-irradiated seeds (my favorite is a mix of broccoli/alfalfa/clover/radish)
  • A wide-mouth glass jar, and
  • Something breathable to cover and strain them with (not a normal lid)
Here’s how you do it — you almost can’t mess this up:

Rinse the seeds well and put them in the jar. Cover the seeds with water, cover the jar with a mesh sieve (or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band).

Soak 8 hours or overnight, then drain and rinse. Set the jar on your counter, and rinse the seeds once or twice a day for a couple of days until the sprouts are ⅛” to ¼” long.

How easy is that?

You can find 3 other easy sprouting methods...

... plus the exceptional health benefits of sprouting (like super-charging your immunity)... one of my favorite places to get sprouting seeds and equipment, and more — all in my Sprouting 101 article:

Find out what you need to know to start sprouting — yes, you can do it!

You can also check out my Facebook Live about sprouting.

These seeds will last you years in the pantry — and you’ll always have a way to add nutrients and all-important enzymes to your meals.

To your health!

5G - What is it? Is it a “Fifth Generation” wireless cell phone system... or a contributor to the 6th mass extinction? So far, the evidence on behalf of 5G does not look good. So, why are we forging ahead? Join me for The 5G Summit: Worldwide Call to Action.


Did you know that hundreds of scientists, from 40 different countries, have reached out to the United Nations and the FCC, asking them to consider the health risks and environmental issues before rapidly deploying 5G wireless?

Yes. Thousands of independent studies have concluded that wireless radiation causes biological harm. Yet, boldly and blatantly last year in a Senate hearing, the wireless industry stated that not only did they not have any safety studies on 5G, they did not have any intention or plans to do so.

Click the image below to learn more about the potential dangers of 5G.


Josh del Sol, an activist and filmmaker, and my good friend Sayer Ji, co-founder of GreenMedInfo, teamed up for an important event: The 5G Summit: Worldwide Call to Action.

Exposure to 5G EMFs will not require you to have a 5G wireless phone. You, your still developing children, your aging parents, schools, hospitals - everyone will be surrounded by the infrastructure pulsing it out.

  • 5G is a higher frequency. This means that it can only travel short distances, so more devices need to be posted to ensure that cell phones don’t lose coverage.
  • Every tower erected emits radiation known to weaken immunity and promote cancer, sterility, and cause damage to your own DNA!
  • Children, who are especially at risk, will be surrounded by this - in their neighborhoods, playgrounds, and schools - 24/7.
  • To make things even worse, the industry is trying to get laws passed that would strip decision-making power from cities and communities, so people can't fight it.
This is a call to action. It is a time to learn everything you can in order to protect the health and welfare of every person and animal. (Yes, unless you are a vegan or vegetarian, the radiation emitted extends to animals you eat, too. So not only are you surrounded by this day and night, you could potentially be ingesting it as well.)

Aren’t we already fighting enough environmental triggers? Subjecting people to even more just makes this an ongoing, uphill battle to find health amongst bombarding EMFs.

Please invest your time for this event. It’s vital you discover what you need to know on this topic.

Toward healing the planet one person at a time,
Dr. Tom O’Bryan

P.S. It’s time we looked out for each other. Help me reach out to as many people as possible on this important call to action. Please share this message with your loved ones. Register to find out more.
