IBS and What Not to Eat When You Have IBS
IBS and What Not to Eat When You Have IBS
If you’ve ever gone to the doctor with a tummy ache and felt like they were just shuffling papers, it might be that you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is defined as a functional disorder, meaning that despite no obvious medical abnormality, the person has digestive symptoms. IBS is...

To your health,
Thought to Ponder:
Spending time in nature can be one of the most healing things you can do on your Healthy Breast path.
If you already make it a priority to connect with the trees, beaches, or rolling hills in your region, this may seem obvious.
If you don’t, however, you are missing out on one of the least expensive and most effective ways to amp up your healing journey. Spring and summer are the perfect time of year to do it!

Let’s zoom in on a tumor.
In there, you have two types of cells. Regular cancer cells are quite weak… so when you use chemo and radiation, they go away.
But the other type of cancer cells, Cancer Stem Cells are more resistant.
Chemo and radiation don’t target these cells as effectively… so even if you shrink your tumor, and it looks like you’ve gotten rid of almost all the cancer cells…
These Cancer Stem Cells are still lurking, and that’s bad news because they’re the most aggressive cells that actually SPREAD cancer to other parts of the body.
Cancer Stem Cells are the reason that cancer comes back, and why it spreads to other organs (because the Stem cells can birth new cancer cells).
Unfortunately, modern medicine doesn’t have a solution to fight Cancer Stem Cells…

Good Morning ,
In our practice, we believe that what is measured gets improved.
This means we like to assess all of the possible areas of dysfunction, not just the patient’s biggest complaint. And we use this data to help us lay out a healing plan.
This gives us clues as to what may be the underlying root cause of their symptoms and allows us to help them to heal holistically.
Unfortunately, this is not at all how insurance-based conventional medicine works, and that is why so many people are on a continual downward spiral and feel helpless when it comes to their health.
But I want you to feel empowered.
That’s why I created this short "assessment" that can provide some real insight into the problems you’re having (and the solutions that can help you get back on track).
I think you’re going to like this short, little assessment.
Here’s why:
I don’t want to just help you when you’re sick… I want to make sure you stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. This assessment tool is part of you achieving that vision of living a long, healthy life...
Here’s how this assessment works:
Simply click here to download the assessment worksheet
Go through each section, and using the points scale below, enter a value next to each symptom, and then tally up your score.
Here is what your score means:
And if you did score over 10 and have some work to do, I would love to invite you to my upcoming FREE workshop-style mini course that is happening next week - Create Your Natural Medicine Rx.
During this workshop, you will learn:
But I know that this information is needed NOW more than ever before...
So, this is your chance to truly experience the magic of Naturopathic and Functional Medicine... (seriously, this is what it is like to have a visit with a functional medicine doctor).
All from the comfort of your home... absolutely free...and at your convenience.
This isn't just another webinar... it's an actual interactive workshop...
During which you will evaluate your symptoms and categorize them in a way that gives you a clear path for healing (I'll supply the worksheet and the guidance for you!) This worksheet is exactly what functional medicine doctors use in their practices.
At the end of the workshop, you will walk away with a better understanding of your symptoms and how to address your next steps to build health.
This event is completely free and will last about 3 hours. I know that is a long time, but it will be so worth it. You will learn how to approach your health from a truly functional perspective.
I didn’t want to just tell you about the process, I wanted to give you time to actually map out your own healing roadmap.
We start on Monday, June 5th so make sure you click below ASAP to join us:

The Dangers of Eating Fast (and 3 Tips to Reverse This Habit)
When you sit down at the table, how do you eat? Are you the type of person to savor and enjoy your meals, really tasting each bite? Or do you pound that food like it’s going to disappear? Sadly, a lot of us fall into the “fast-eating” camp. We tend to blaze through our food at a blistering pace...

| 7 Types of Cancer People Don't Detect Until It's Too Late |
| As time has gone on and the medical field has become more and more experienced, so has cancer research evolved as well. There have been many improvements made, and nowadays you can catch cancer in its early stages much more frequently than it was done even a decade ago. Despite this, there are still a lot of early stage cancers that are very hard to detect. |

| Hi, Jimi. Did you miss the Immune for Life docuseries I told you about recently? Maybe you caught one or two episodes, and planned to watch the whole series, but... time got away from you. I get it – Life can get hectic, and sometimes we miss out on things we planned to watch. But trust me, the insights shared by my friends at Zonia are too important to miss. That’s why I’m happy to share some great news: you can catch a FREE replay this weekend. >> You’ll have 72 hours to watch the complete series and learn how to protect your health. I’m featured in the docuseries, along with 34 other world-renowned doctors and health experts. My colleagues and I discuss the downfalls of conventional medicine, and reveal how you can stay healthy by doing certain daily actions WITHOUT being forced to take Big Pharma’s pills which don’t even get you healthy. As a board-certified physician dedicated to preventing and reversing disease through nutritional excellence, I'm deeply concerned about the state of our healthcare system. That's why I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to watch Immune for Life now. Over 100,000 people signed up to watch it for free when it premiered – but in case you missed any (or all) of it, here’s your chance to catch up. Zonia is hosting a Replay Weekend starting today – and ALL episodes are available FREE for the next 72 hours. Until Monday at 11:59 pm PST |
| You’ll get to see groundbreaking health insights from me, and other doctors and medical researchers, such as Dr. David Perlmutter, Ocean Robbins and Dr. Michael Murray. We took part in this docuseries to dispel myths about the medical system... We also uncover prevention protocols, innovative treatments, and new natural methods for beating diseases such as autoimmune diseases, dementia & Alzheimer’s, cancer, obesity and diabetes, and many others, by attacking the root cause behind them. You’ll hear a variety of opinions from this impressive panel of experts. And while I may not agree with all the points made, it’s always motivating to hear the corroborating voices, and participate in these interviews to awaken our population to the need to get off the medical care merry-go-round and recognize that we all must work to earn good health. You’ll also see simple, doctor-approved steps that you can take to prevent or even reverse these diseases. So if you missed the premiere altogether or just a few episodes, NOW is the perfect time to catch up, or to send this link to a close one who’s going through challenging health battles. Watch and rewatch:
The replay is ONLY available until Monday 11:59pm PST, so watch it while you still can. You’ll hear from the world’s top 35 doctors and health experts, who are at the forefront of revolutionizing the industry and helping people beat and reverse serious diseases. It's interesting info, so let me know what you think. Catch the Immune for Life replay before time runs out (72 hours left). Wishing you the best of health, Joel Fuhrman, M.D. |

PTSD Hikes Heart, Stroke Risk
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
People suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at twice the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to a study from Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder in which sufferers relive traumatic events in memories and nightmares, often avoiding situations that can trigger such thoughts. Feelings of fearfulness or paranoia can also occur. PTSD is often overlooked as a risk factor for the heart, but it can pose a serious threat.
Special: The Shocking Truth About Magnesium
For roughly 13 years, researchers followed 562 middle-aged male twins (340 identical and 222 fraternal) from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry with an average age of 42. The pairs included twins where at least one brother had a history of PTSD or major depression, and twins without either condition.
The incidence of heart disease during the study period was more than double in twins with PTSD than in those without PTSD. The use of twins allowed researchers to control for the influences of genes and environment on the development of heart disease and PTSD.
The government-supported study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, was the first to use imaging techniques to assess the clinical risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke.

Here's the truth...
There are no such things as magical herbal "superfoods."
...The rare root that will keep you young.
...The secret fruit that will melt away the pounds.
...All those powders with 50 herbs you’ve never heard of... that cannot do the things they claim.
Let me explain...
These herbs are real plants that are being taken out of context. They are not offered to you in preparations that can actually help you with much of anything at all.
OH! What about those morning talk show studies, where yesterday’s enemy is the new wonder food?
One day it’s coffee... then chocolate... then red wine.
...Juice anyone?
...Green powders to add to your juice?
...How about a $9 raw maca cacao spirulina ginseng protein shake? (Add $3 for the rhodiola power booster)
Super food fads are simply dizzying... and they are over processed, expensive, and change as fast as marketers get bored.
So then...
Are there really such things as "super foods?"
YES... BUT...
They don’t come from bottles and faraway lands.
They come from the ground where you live.
Also, real life superfoods have to be prepared in ways that humans were designed to consume them (and not made in a factory).
Health empowerment comes from learning the healing benefits of many of the common foods and herbs that might already be in your kitchen.
What if you not only knew the nutritive benefits of your food, but also knew added curative effects?
Did you know that you can use carrots to help heartburn? Cabbage for ulcers? Onions for respiratory issues? Celery juice for hay fever?
There are also deep healing tonic herbs hiding in plain sight on the produce aisle.
Ready to turn your kitchen into a powerful herbal apothecary?

Culinary Herbalism, a video mini-course series with K.P. Khalsa
Culinary Herbalism can fit into any busy schedule.
Watch the videos or listen to the audio as you commute or work on other projects in the kitchen.
Your “homework” is making new recipes that will unlock the healing power of many common foods.
K.P. Khalsa has been practicing global herbalism for over 45 years. He’s been the president of the American Herbalists Guild, teaches at universities, and has written lots of books. You get to learn from the best.
So...
Is Culinary Herbalism another health food fad?
No, it’s simply health.
Culinary Herbalism is ancient wisdom based on the “Big 3 World Herbal Traditions.”
K.P. Khlasa is an expert in all 3 traditions, and his lessons and teaching style are simple, practical, time-tested, and no-nonsense.

Did you know that high almond milk consumption has led to an increase in bee deaths?
That’s right: the very important insects that are vital for the survival of our food sources are being killed off because of
pesticides, mites, environmental pollution, and a lack of biodiversity in almond farms.
Sounds scary, doesn’t it?
Click here to read our blog post and find out more about the link between almond milk and millions of dying bees…
Once you know the truth, you’ll never look at almond milk and cheap honey the same way again!
I don't like that article. For more than a decade I've seen the impugning of almond milk for various reasons, all which I believe are propaganda in support of the giant food processing companies' desire to move the crop to China for increased profits.
1. Water demand of almond groves vs. drought: The last couple of years the massive Sierra Nevada melt runoff has been diverted into the sea rather than letting it flow into California's rivers as it always has. And trees bring rain. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of for-profit bottled water companies, which are not attacked.
2. Wasteful: a little almond juice and a lot of water make up almond milk. We are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water daily, but almond growers grow almonds, not almond milk. They sell almonds, not almond milk. Almonds are a nutritious source of protein, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals. They are sold downline for almond oil, almond butter, and yes, almond milk.
3. The dying bees: So we're going to blame the almond rather than blaming the "bee herders" who rent out the hives, moving the colonies from place to place until the bees have no sense of themselves, what they are and their own potentials for life, joy, creativity, instead becoming weakened and sick, catching mites? I know, they're bees, but nobody can tell me bees don't experience happiness in their own way. Why can't the growers have their own bees, and let the bees do whatever they want? The bees will want to pollenate the almond orchard, believe me, and after that they'll find whatever else they want to do.
4. The dying bees: that article mentions all of the toxic pesticides. So we're going to blame toxic pesticides on almonds? Shouldn't we just ban the toxic pesticides? And what about organic almond orchards, of which there are many?
5. Drink oat milk instead? Field mono-cropping is one sure way to degrade the environment, but I won't go into that here.
Guess what giant commodities distributor is calling for a horrendous, regressive carbon tax on foods, hmmm??? That ought to cover the cost of shipping almonds from China to US. It's gotten so that I can smell these giant corporate schemes. But it's 'cuz CLIMATE CHANGE, dontcha know.

Cargill almonds - Bing
What products does Cargill sell?
Nuts (groundnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, etc.) Sugar (Refined sugar, beet sugar and non-centrifugal sugar, raw sugar, sugar preparation and other sweeteners) Some Cargill products are only approved for use in certain geographies, end uses, and/or at certain usage levels.
---
"I am XYZ mega-corporation, and I can triple my profits on almonds if I let China grow the crop. Never mind if international shipping is a major source of the pollution of our oceans. We must do this, because growing almonds takes up precious water. We're united, your government, the XYZ multi-national commodities cartel and the big food products companies who profit from the use of almonds, your friends the agri-chemical makers, and your friends in the oil & gas industry, all of us united about the okay-ness of giving our honorable domestic almond growing industry to China, and shipping said almonds from China's shores to ours, as long as you are satisfactorily fooled that you won't be a carbon bigfoot any more."
I have stood in almond groves twice in my life, once in California, once in the south of France, unparalelled experiences of sacredness and peace, of understanding that this earth is the mother of all who live upon it. Almonds appear in very ancient art and artifacts. They bless us in so many ways.
To say that almonds are contributing to bee deaths is an absurd convolution of facts. Without human intervention, almonds nurture, feed and shelter the bees.

Organic consumers are many. Readers of OrganicConsumers.org are far fewer. When that article says that 2,000 people have participated in Organic Consumers' action to contact OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) it seems like way too few people, but it turns out Bill Gates latest nastiness, "Apeel" coating on fruits and vegetables, was never approved as an ingredient for organic agriculture.
I still think it's a good idea for those who have not done it yet, to participate in the action.
