BioCharger™ NG Review at OMNI Balanced Life Center

My passion for investigating, learning, and sharing holistic options to live a cleaner, and more toxic free life will sometimes take me to an invention that will stretch the mind and the body! This time, it has taken me into the quantum world of subtle energy for cellular stimulation produced by three forms of voltage energy through technology and it is completely fascinating!

Is it possible to marry holistic health with new, innovative technology? Perhaps it is already there, we are just learning how to tap into it now. We are so marvelously made that we are only beginning to touch the surface of the nature of our being. There is a belief that with the awareness and acceptance of how we and the world we live in is created in beautiful harmony, amazing precision of mathematical geometry, with complete distinct patterns and deep connections to what we cannot see; that we will be able to better heal ourselves naturally and reach our true potential.

So how do we access this potential and what is frequency anyway? It all begins with energy. Energy is the core substance of everything in the universe. Without energy, there would be no life because life needs energy to fuel its existence. The energy that created our time matrix and universe has a unique ability that allows it to have infinite expression. This infinite expression is achieved through vibrational frequency. Vibrational frequency plays an important role in the creation of our physical reality, because it allows energy to express itself into any form, including molecules, atoms, planets, stars, biological life and even diseases. To be more specific, every biological or non-biological thing has a unique energy signature that vibrates at certain frequencies. Understanding how energy frequency works is important for your well-being, because when your energy isn’t vibrating correctly, you are more vulnerable to diseases.

You can actually see the results of frequency on its environment. Watch these amazing results of different frequency settings using salt on a metal plate with a tone generator.

In 1988 a fellow by the name of Jim Girard followed his passion to pursue the application of subtle energy technologies started by Nicola Tesla, Georges Lakhovsky, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, and Alexander Gurwitsch to accomplish what they had believed were the key to restoring health and wellness. Shortly thereafter, Girard seized a unique opportunity to study and conduct research with Orville Fitz, a former protégé of Tesla in his later years. Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC was formed in 2013, after years of models and revisions were developing into what we know of now as the BioCharger™ NG. The BioCharger™ NG is a patented subtle energy revitalization platform for therapy that safely and precisely controls and produces energy fields that can restore the natural voltage in our bodies. It is the world’s first software based, solid state, mobile & cloud compatible high voltage multi-frequency, resonant transformer (modified Tesla Coil; more on that later) that wirelessly and simultaneously transmits pulsed waves of electromagnetic, electrodynamic (or high voltage energy) and photonic energy. Restoring the optimal voltage at the cellular level stimulates and invigorates the entire body to improve potential health, wellness and athletic performance. According to the company, each of these energy components have been associated with health and healing in their own right, but now we have the opportunity to experience the benefits in combination. When our cells are at the proper voltage our bodies start to function the way it should. The company states the benefits of using the BioCharger™ NG show energy revitalization, mind and body focus improvements, sleep benefits, flexibility, and also performance measures, recovery benefits whether from a workout, an injury, stress, or the bumps and bruises of everyday life, the BioCharger™ NG platform will allow you a quicker bounce-back.

Thanks to OMNI Balanced Life Center’s Founder, Jamie Kliewe, I had the opportunity to experience these three types of drug-free, energy therapies produced by the BioCharger™ NG firsthand during a 30 minute session with her. I also happen to be recovering from a sickness, so this was a perfect time for me to really test out the machine and see if my recovery would improve since it was lingering This BioCharger™ NG is only available in certain wellness centers at this time, and as of now it is the only one in all of Southwest Florida and perhaps farther.

Watch my review video here:

How does it work?

I sat in a comfortable chair about 3 feet away from the BioCharger™ NG as Jamie set the specific “recipe” for me based on her assessment of my needs. She set it for 1 of the pre-populated settings called “Wellness Assist” and we sat there relaxing and soaking in the frequency. My anticipation was high as you sit there wondering what is going on and what is happening with the sound, light and energy. Mobile electronics will not work near the BioCharger™ NG, so there is no video of the experience so I will try to explain it the best I can.

The machine works through light, sound and frequency. The visible light component energizes a unique combination of 12 noble and inert gases which in turn, radiate photonic energy. These Gas Plasma Tubes (Visible Light Component) are energized via pulsed EMF at specific frequencies used for light therapy (non thermal). When the light is pulsed, it changes the way in which the light penetrates the body. The frequency setting for me emitted a red to orange glow which is pleasant to see. The machine generates a high voltage discharge which in turn creates ionization in the room. Ozone is used to boost oxygenation of the cells which is transported by red blood cells to the entire body to be used to produce energy. You will see the high voltage at the top of the machine presenting something like little, purple, lightning bolts. Then there is the sound therapy which is more difficult to explain. It is not a song. It is a tone produced in kHz (kilohertz), but it changes throughout the session to go along with the frequency changes and the recipe given for the client. The sound therapy produces various harmonics changes as the pulsed frequency changes. It sounds a bit like this:

After a few minutes you actually may begin to feel a tingling on your skin and feel the energy almost like a light static electricity. Since I came to use the BioCharger™ after I had been down with a nasty sickness, it was amazing that I felt the energy concentrated most in the areas where I was still recovering from the sickness. I felt the sound and frequency in my right ear and it felt like my congested ear was opening up. The energy along with the sound therapy felt like it was going from the left side of my brain to the right side brain and back and forth as it changed. I also felt the energy in my chest. I had a persistent, lingering cough since being sick and after my session the weight of the sickness in my chest eased and there was definite relief within the next 24 hours. I definitely experienced a parasympathetic response as I felt more calm, cool and collected after the session. I tend to have my sympathetic nervous response on the most as I have been a “flight or fight” kind of person. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body at rest and is responsible for the body’s “rest and digest” function. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body’s responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the “fight or flight” response. The PNS and SNS are part of the ANS, or autonomic nervous system which is responsible for the involuntary functions of the human body. I can now distinctly feel the difference of these two nervous system responses as I have been undergoing acupuncture treatment to retrain my body to balance out these autonomic nervous system responses. You want to have a balance. You do not want one system taking over the other. This can lead to health issues. Be sure to watch my video review to hear the change in my voice and demeanor!

As previously mentioned, this subtle energy revitalization platform (SERP) was based on the combination of legacy technology discoveries years ago by Nicola Tesla, Georges Lakhovsky, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, and Alexander Gurwitsch as found on the BioCharger™ company website…

High Frequency Disruptive Coil Design – Nikola Tesla

Among the obvious applications for the wireless transmission of energy, such as broadcasting power or information, Tesla was interested in therapeutic applications in the field of human health as well. At the time Tesla was experimenting with his Tesla coils, physicians were exploring the usage of electrical devices in the treatment of various ailments. It was within this environment that Tesla published in 1898 “High Frequency Oscillators for Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes”, a paper that he submitted to the 8th annual meeting of the American Electro-Therapeutic Association [1]. In this paper, Tesla correctly concluded that “bodily tissues are condensers” or capacitors, and he felt that his coil treatment “was certainly beneficial.”

Tesla coils have: higher frequencies, even higher voltages, the primary and secondary inducting coils are reversed, and the coils are also wound quite differently.

However, this design was co-opted by many manufacturers who incorporated it as a power source for glass electrodes containing various noble gases. It became popularly known as a ‘violet ray device,’ because of the brilliant purple glow that emanated from argon gas vacuum tubes wired in series to these coils. Dozens of different types of glass electrodes were manufactured for different uses, and built into violet ray device sets. These annealed glass tubes were constructed under low vacuum and filled with different noble gasses that became excited by the electrical output, to glow in different colors depending upon the gas used. For example, neon gas vacuum tubes glowed red. Electrified noble gases when pulsed become ionized or excited. This pulsing causes the electrons to move initially from lower energy orbital states to higher energy orbital states. Cycling back to the lower state causes the electrons to emit light at various frequencies as well as photons, including spectral emissions within the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) ranges. Many researchers have stated that a wide variety of conditions or illnesses can be improved or cured by the use of these devices. In the past these small devices became very popular for home use, while large units were utilized by physicians to treat many ailments.

The Lakhovsky Multi-Wave Oscillator – Possibly invented by Tesla?

One of the researchers who continued Tesla’s line of investigations and extended electro-therapeutic theory was Georges Lakhovsky, a Russian émigré, who is famous for inventing the Multi-Wave Oscillator (MWO). However, Christopher Bird, the author of The Secret Life of Plants and as well as other books, described the Russian-born Frenchman as seeming to have been an associate of, or a colleague of Tesla [2]. In fact, it is quite possible that the MWO is more Tesla’s invention than Lakhovsky’s. There is an account that states that in 1931 after initial failures, Lakhovsky requested Tesla to come to Paris to assist him in creating an effective MWO. It appears that the designs for the MWO were laid out in Tesla’s own 1898 paper on “High Frequency Oscillators for Electrotherapeutic and Other Purposes” [1]. But Lakhovsky MWO sellers claim that Lakhovsky developed the MWO in the 1920s in Paris, France for use in cancer clinics there. In 1925 he did publish a paper titled “Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies” in Radio News [3]. However, his first operational MWO did use a powerful Tesla coil and two spark gaps; so while he may have designed an antenna system with different sized rings to broadcast the radiofrequency output of the Tesla coil, it may be that Tesla came up with the general design but did not pursue it. Remarkable results were obtained from a seven week clinical trial performed at a major New York City hospital and that of a prominent Brooklyn urologist in the summer of 1941. As a result of the research done by Lakhovsky and others interested in electrotherapeutic transformers using Tesla coils and alternating current at radio frequencies, some interesting and convincing cases were documented and reported. For example, by September 6, 1932, a Dr. Gustave Kolischer announced “Tesla’s high-frequency electrical currents are bringing about highly beneficial results in dealing with cancer, surpassing anything that could be accomplished with ordinary surgery” at a seminar presented by the American Congress of Physical Therapy, held in New York.

The Rife Component – Dr. Royal Raymond Rife

“During the 1920’s and 30’s, Rife reportedly achieved astounding accomplishments in medicine and biology. He first invented and built five novel optical microscopes that allowed him to observe viruses in live cells and tissue cultures. Rife’s second major accomplishment was to invent numerous variable frequency flashing light ultrasound transmitters that could devitalize pathogens, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi.

The LIGHT Component – Alexander Gurwitsch

The therapeutic value of light and color therapy has been investigated since before the turn of the last century. Notable researchers of the period who influenced development of the BioCharger NG include Alexander Gurwitsch, among others. Cells emit ‘mitogenetic radiation’ that have biological effects

In 1922, a Russian biophysicist, Alexander Gurwitsch, demonstrated an interesting optical phenomenon associated with cells; a phenomenon he called ‘mitogenetic radiation.’ Gurwitsch showed that adjacent cells could be stimulated to divide optically by endogenous UV radiation generated by cells in optical contact with them. These emissions, sometimes referred to as Gurwitsch rays, have the property of stimulating growth and cellular activity. It is possible that some of the beneficial effect of excited noble gases may be due to [ultra-]violet rays resembling mitogenetic radiation. Based on his own work Dr. Tom Bearden (Phd. Nuclear Engineer,) stated that infrared (IR) Gurwitsch radiation stimulated cellular mitochondria as the subcellular target responsible for the subsequent growth phenomena.

Papers available online by Gurwitsch include the following:

One question I had for Jamie was to point out the difference between the Biofeedback machine and the BioCharger™ NG. Biofeedback technology is commonly seen in holistic health now and is the therapy uses thermal biofeedback to measure skin temperature, electromyography to measure muscle tension, and neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback to measure brain wave activity. Biofeedback is a lower pulsed frequency which is used commonly as an assessment tool. The BioCharger™ is used beyond the assessment to actually stimulate for health at a cellular level.

The BioCharger™ NG can even be used daily, and you can purchase one yourself, although it comes with a price tag of $12,990! In Southwest Florida we are very fortunate to have OMNI Balanced Life Center at the forefront of this revolutionary technology and holistic method of treatment available for their clients. You can find them at www.OMNINaples.com to schedule an appointment and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/OmniNaples/. Be sure to let them know Clean Living Connection sent you! 😉 I certainly look forward to going back and experiencing other “recipe’s” for wellness!

Stainless Steel Vacuum Bottles Lead Testing with Clean Living Connection

Stainless steel bottles and cups have become the norm to replace toxic plastics containing BPA. Now we are discovering that since they replaced BPA with fluorene-9-bisphenol, or BHPF or with bisphenol S, or BPS these come with concern as well. See the Timeline: From Invention to Phase-Out by EWG. I would think stainless steel vacuum bottles must be a booming industry since the public is moving away from plastics and most schools will not allow glass water bottles even with the silicone sleeves. Stainless steel bottles are a lightweight, easy to clean and supposedly, healthier alternative. Or are they?

Since my daughter was born, I have been following this blog from Tamara Rubin of MisLEAD for quite some time now, as well her blog in www.mychildrenhaveleadpoisoning.com, learning about the dangers of lead exposure in children’s toys, products and even older household paints. I recently also saw another article by The Natural Baby Mama that directly impacted a product my daughter was using. I never received an email notifying me that they were found to have lead at the base. I then decided to take matters into my own hands, because that is what I am learning on this toxic free journey. We need to be vigilant, aware and find out for ourselves. It doesn’t matter how “crunchy” or toxic-free you think you may be, there are companies we are entrusting to provide quality, safe products and we need to check up on them as consumers and get the word out.

So we gathered up our stainless steel bottles, checked out what the stores had and began our own lead test for #leadsafety. Watch what we came up with….

 

I want to start by following up with the Planet Box “BottleRocket 11oz Capsule” stainless steel bottle. I have had this bottle since approximately August of 2016. Having been a purchase made online, I do not recall receiving an email from PlanetBox as they have my email for marketing, why would they not email us with the remedy that they proposed on their site HERE? We have been using the bottle up until I found the report from The Natural Baby Mama. Perhaps I missed an email notification that lead was found? Doubtful, but possible, I will give them that. Their lunch boxes have been found to be #leadfree in March of 2017. They provided an encapsulating sphere for their “solder” spots in the bottles. Lead solder is a typical use among manufacturers when making stainless steel insulated bottles. It is meant to help with the forming of the bottle and maintaining the vacuum seal that insulates the bottle. Although I am not completely pleased with how they handled the lead discovery in their products, I will most likely continue to use their “lunch boxes” as they have been tested lead free and there are no solder spots on those products. I would like to give entrepreneur’s who are working for a clean, toxic free life the benefit of another chance before writing them off. But let me be clear, I do not want lead of any sort in on or around my stainless steel bottles or any product for that matter. Period.

   

This leads me to the next product that came back positive as you will see in my video for lead due to the solder spot: Contigo. I believe I purchased these at Target a while back. I found the size to be handy for young children. Did you notice an important detail in the video? Contigo does not come with any sort of cover or encapsulation for the bottle styles I had in my possession. They are open and exposed. (see photo below) These are still sold in stores at the time of this post and I find no notification or statement from them in regards to uncovering exposed lead. In fact I see a mom politely asked them on their own site about her concerns with lead. (see screenshot). I see no reply to her at all in regards to potential lead in their bottles even though their site shows active feedback and replies from the company for other consumer feedback. As they say…. #sipconfidently ? I say… #throwitout !

   

According to Title IV of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as well as other authorities in the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, directs EPA to regulate lead-based paint hazards. See a full list of laws HERE and the timeline HERE.

This doesn’t seem to always happen, but in the case of Lead exposure, I am glad that the US Governmental organizations have consistently confirmed together how harmful it is.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences agrees it is harmful. And I quote “No amount of lead is safe.” 

National Toxicology Program – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agrees and I quote: “Although reductions in lead exposure for the U.S. population have resulted in lower blood lead levels over time, epidemiological studies continue to provide evidence of health effects at lower and lower blood lead levels.” 

What is Lead?

According to the EPA Lead is “a naturally occurring element found in small amounts in the earth’s crust. While it has some beneficial uses, it can be toxic to humans and animals causing of health effects.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that “lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems and is particularly harmful to young children.“

• Lead in the body is distributed to the brain, liver, kidney and bones. It is stored in the teeth and bones, where it accumulates over time. Human exposure is usually assessed through the measurement of lead in blood.
• Lead in bone is released into blood during pregnancy and becomes a source of exposure to the developing fetus.
• There is no known level of lead exposure that is considered safe.
• Lead exposure is preventable.

“WHO has identified lead as 1 of 10 chemicals of major public health concern, needing action by Member States to protect the health of workers, children and women of reproductive age.”

Who is at Risk?

Children

Lead is particularly dangerous to children because their growing bodies absorb more lead than adults do and their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead. Babies and young children can also be more highly exposed to lead because they often put their hands and other objects that can have lead from dust or soil on them into their mouths. Children may also be exposed to lead by eating and drinking food or water containing lead or from dishes or glasses that contain lead, inhaling lead dust from lead-based paint or lead-contaminated soil or from playing with toys with lead paint.

Adults, Including Pregnant Women

Adults may be exposed to lead by eating and drinking food or water containing lead or from dishes or glasses that contain lead. They may also breathe lead dust by spending time in areas where lead-based paint is deteriorating, and during renovation or repair work that disturbs painted surfaces in older homes and buildings. Working in a job or engaging in hobbies where lead is used, such as making stained glass, can increase exposure as can certain folk remedies containing lead. A pregnant woman’s exposure to lead from these sources is of particular concern because it can result in exposure to her developing baby. Lead can also transfer through breast milk.

The most important step parents, doctors, and others can take is to prevent lead exposure before it occurs. Prevention.

Until recently, children were identified as having a blood lead level of concern if the test result is 10 or more micrograms per deciliter of lead in blood. Experts now use a new level based on the U.S. population of children ages 1-5 years who are in the top 2.5% of children when tested for lead in their blood (when compared to children who are exposed to more lead than most children). Currently that is 5 micrograms per deciliter of lead in blood. The new, lower value means that more children likely will be identified as having lead exposure allowing parents, doctors, public health officials, and communities to take action earlier to reduce the child’s future exposure to lead.

EPA uses the CDC data to show trends on blood lead levels in children in America’s Children and the Environment. The CDC uses surveillance data (yes you read that right) to track lead by state. See where your state fairs on the CDC’s State Surveillance Data 

A blood lead test is the best way to measure lead exposure. Children are given a blood test to determine the level of lead in their blood. The amount of lead in blood is referred to as blood lead level (BLL). BLLs are measured in micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (μg/dL).

How much lead is too much?

Now let’s read this part slowly: There is NO known safe BLL. Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child’s health. Millions of children are being exposed to lead in their homes, increasing their risks for: 

– damage to the brain and nervous system,

– slowed growth and development,

– learning and behavior problems (e.g., reduced IQ, ADHD, juvenile delinquency, and criminal

  behavior), and

– hearing and speech problems.

I found this study published in June 2012 “Toxicity of lead: A review with recent updates”  It is well worth the read, but for now I am going to highlight these important details outlined in the section, “Effect on the Nervous System” as I find this particularly eye opening and irrefutable. It sums up the absolute importance of testing our own products, not just water bottles, but household items, toys, cookware, dinnerware, paint, even furniture paint etc and why it is worth the effort…

 “…Encephalopathy (a progressive degeneration of certain parts of the brain) is a direct consequence of lead exposure and the major symptoms include dullness, irritability, poor attention span, headache, muscular tremor, loss of memory and hallucinations. More severe manifestations occur at very high exposures and include delirium, lack of coordination, convulsions, paralysis, coma and ataxia (Flora et al., 2006). Fetuses and young children are especially vulnerable to the neurological effects of lead as the developing nervous system absorbs a higher fraction of lead. The proportion of systemically circulating lead gaining access to the brain of children is significantly higher as compared to adults (Needleman et al.,2004). Children may appear inattentive, hyperactive and irritable even at low lead exposure. Children with greater lead levels may be affected with delayed growth, decreased intelligence, short-term memory and hearing loss. At higher levels, lead can cause permanent brain damage and even death (Cleveland et al.,2008). There is evidence suggesting that low level lead exposure significantly affects IQs along with behavior, concentration ability and attentiveness of the child. Repercussions of lead exposure on the peripheral nervous system have also been observed in the form of peripheral neuropathy, involving reduced motor activity due to loss of myelin sheath which insulates the nerves, thus seriously impairing the transduction of nerve impulses, causing muscular weakness, especially of the exterior muscles, fatigue and lack of muscular co-ordination (Sanders et al., 2009)” . 

Lastly, if you feel that your child has been exposed to lead, please get them tested. There are very specific protocols for detoxing heavy metals. Please seek out only experienced professionals in this case.

GMO’s Revealed Docuseries ~ The Truth About the Food You Eat

Hello! My name is Jill, and I am the Founder of Clean Living Connection LLC and Clean Living Concierge Services. I am excited to partner with the makers of GMO’s Revealed to help get the word out and educate friends on an important event coming up on August 22nd – August 30th. Successful filmmakers: Dr. Patrick Gentempo, Jeff Hays and Dr. Beau Pierce have teamed up again and they have gathered an impressive team of experts to uncover and share the disturbing truths about a serious threat lurking in so much of what we eat…. GMOs!

GMO’s Revealed delves deep into the ways that genetically modified foods (and the toxic chemicals they are made to resist) are wreaking havoc on our bodies and causing serious damage to the environment. 

This important docuseries will be broadcasting exclusive content for FREE in a 9-day event, from August 22nd to August 30th. I want to make sure that you have access to the eye-opening facts shared in GMOs Revealed, so I’m sharing how you can watch the whole series for FREE when you register HERE.

Most of us start with what I call a “motivating factor” to take control of our health, either from sickness or prevention of sickness. My learning process started over 6 years ago after realizing I needed to take control of my health after having a daughter later in life and I planned on being around for her life as long as I can have a hand in it! That includes clean eating. If you’ve ever wondered how genetically modified food might affect your health, you will find the answers here. It may be shocking to discover that over 75% of the processed foods on grocery store shelves contain GMOs, and that close to 90% of the corn grown in the US has been genetically manipulated. Agricultural chemicals designed to be used with GMOs called glyphosate are which the state of California the World Health Organization and others have listed it as a carcinogen. When we are exposed to it studies indicate it can destroy the microbiome. 

But it doesn’t end there…

In this series, the disturbing marriage of toxic weed killer and modified seeds is uncovered. See exactly how a chemical originally created as a powerful mineral descaler for industrial pipes and boilers has made its way into our food, piggy-backing on plants genetically designed to be “Roundup ready.” That’s right, GMOs were created specifically to tolerate glyphosate, A TOXIN known to cause cancer and many of the diseases we are seeing today in epidemic proportions.

In this series, the corruption behind Monsanto and other large seed and chemical corporations is exposed in astounding ways. In a billion-dollar vicious cycle, the same company that sells these powerful agricultural chemicals also creates and sells the seeds designed resist them.

They know their products are making us sick, …and you will be shocked by the cover-ups, media manipulation, and unethical behavior that has been quietly going on behind the scenes.

You deserve to know exactly what goes into the foods you eat, and it’s time that the threat of GMO’s is exposed. 

The GMOs Revealed team has been working hard to bring together leading doctors, agriculture experts, scientists, environmentalists and political activists to share their expertise.These experts will help you understand how GMOs are making you sick, depleting the soil we depend on, and creating a health and environmental disaster that could have repercussions for generations to come.

After viewing this incredibly produced and fascinating series, you will have the information you need to make truly informed decisions about what you and your family eat—decisions that could change your life and protect the health of future generations. 

GMOs Revealed brings you the true story behind an industry that is one of the biggest silent threats of our time, and you can watch it FREE from August 22nd to August 30th if you REGISTER HERE at any time. 

I hope you’ll join us for this exclusive, world-wide event by REGISTERING HERE.

Think you have “leaky gut?” Do you need to repair your microbiome or that of your family’s? You will want to check out what is being hailed as the very first “ANTI-GMO” nutrition product on the market with a patent-pending formula called “Biome Medic!”

Why is it unique and exclusive? Three unique ingredients have been combined to support the rebuilding of a compromised microbiome. Evidence exists in published scientific literature about each individual ingredient to be very convincing to repair the microbiome; now this will be the first time they have been combined in this unique way and it is also proprietary.

FIRST A PATENTED SUPER PREBIOTIC: from a fraction of wheat germ which is proven to specifically support the rebuilding of the aerobic bacteria colonies that trigger our immunity.

Cannabis: So Much More Than Broccoli and How to Navigate the Green Terrain

Cannabis: So Much More Than Broccoli and How to Navigate the Green Terrain

Years ago when I started on my toxic free journey I would have never thought it would have landed me here, on the side for legalization of medical marijuana smack in the middle of cannaphobia country. I think some friends that have known me the longest are probably rolling on the floor (pun unintended) laughing right now that I am even writing about marijuana. But education can change a person especially when faced with their own mortality. How many have been diagnosed or know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, or suffers from an autoimmune disease, or other debilitating or life-threatening illnesses? I am pretty sure the whole room would stand up if we were all together. Having a child later in life I quickly realized that I needed to take a preventative role in my health and that of my family’s, including investigating more holistic options. Some people have a much stronger need and life-threatening motivation to look into what is now dubbed “alternative” treatment methods even though they have been around for thousands of years.

Enter Medical Cannabis.

Medical Marijuana, Cannabis, CBD, Cannabinoid. Go ahead, confess. Your mind’s eye went to straight to a picture of someone smoking a joint or someone with dreadlocks stoned on the couch. That’s OK, at one point that’s what I would have thought too. That is what has been ingrained in our minds and we’ve been force fed that as the only use of it for decades, and we’ve all had one of those friends right? However that instant assumption is deeply different then what you will find out here and that assumption is prohibiting people from obtaining important medicinal benefits from a plant. As I learn more about cannabis, I find it overwhelming how misunderstood and misrepresented it is even crossing many generations. After all it has been illegal in the USA for half a century for the most part.

Understanding medical marijuana is no easy task these days. There are many complexities involved from legalization, federal guidelines, state law, specific levels of chemical compositions, breeding, whole flower, CBD or industrial hemp, organic, Non-GMO, extraction, fillers, delivery, dosages, costs etc… on and on! It can be overwhelming. I know I have been there too. But the fact is that people are seeing results in others and they want to know how it can help them and/or their children. But since it is so complex, where does one start? My hope for you is that this report sheds some new light on things you were not aware of before, helps you navigate through those complexities, and provides you with insight to make informed decisions so you can determine if CBD can help you or someone you love.

So what’s the big deal anyway?

We eat other plants like broccoli because of their nutrients. We’ve even been told to eat our broccoli for its cancer fighting components, yet that’s legal. Why? What makes this plant any different?

Cannabis is an annual, dioecious (meaning that it has distinct male and female individual organisms), flowering herb. Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno-phenolic compounds called cannabinoids. There are 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant (marijuana plant), and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant. The two cannabinoids studied the most and are usually produced in the greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but only THC is psychoactive (able to produce a “high” or “stoned” feeling). Of the other chemical constituents in the cannabis plant you will find terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, sugars and more. Terpenes are fragrant oils that give cannabis its aromatic diversity and are also found in other plants, fruits, and herbs. So for those afraid of the “high” but want the preventative care and medical care this is the cool part. Research has shown that terpenes significantly enhance the therapeutic potential of THC (the most active cannabinoid) while minimizing its psychoactivity. So in easier terms, the therapeutic effects are most powerful when the whole flower plant is utilized and that is when you can receive the most medicinal benefits. The terpenes actually minimize the high feeling when the compounds and chemicals are working together. Scientists call this phenomenon in which all the constituents of the cannabis plant work synergistically together, “the entourage effect” or “the ensemble.” So no, you do not need to feel or be “stoned” to receive some therapeutic benefits of the cannabis plant and your best medicinal option should include the whole flower part of the plant.

Marijuana is typically 5 to 10 percent THC when the whole flowers (all of the constituents) are used. Marijuana grown for medicinal application may contain upwards of 20 percent THC, with the best strains going up to 30 percent. Raw cannabis does not contain THC and it can actually be eaten raw. It is with heat that the psychoactive effect is induced producing THC and it is the THC levels that have the most impact legally as you will see shortly.

Why do I hear of medical marijuana working so well for others?

Will you be shocked to find out you already have the chemical compounds of cannabinoid as well as communication receptors already present within your body, ready to accept these cannabinoids from the plant? Research on marijuana’s effects led directly to the discovery of an unknown biochemical communication system in the human body, which has been called the Endocannabinoid System (ES). It has been found to play a crucial role in regulating our physiology, mood, and everyday experience. Dr. Ralph Mechoulam, an Israeli researcher, discovered two main receptors, cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid 2 (CB2) that are links to both the endocannabinoids that our body naturally produces and phytocannabinoids (plant based) like THC and CBD.  These chemical compounds within us trigger cannabinoid (and other) receptors in your body to communicate. In each cell and all tissues, the endocannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same; homeostasis, a balance within, no matter the external factors. New information even suggests endocannabinoids can bind to 8 more receptors than originally discovered.

It’s no wonder why our bodies respond so well to CBD for issues such as seizures, muscle spasms, inflammation, anxiety, pain, cancer cells, nausea, glaucoma, ALS, Traumatic Brain Injury, Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as Autism, PTSD, Crohn’s Disease, ADD/ADHD and insomnia but the list doesn’t even stop there.

Research has also shown that CBD has potent anti-tumoral, anti-psychotic, antioxidant, anti-convulsive, anti-spasmodic, and neuroprotective properties. So in other words it is showing to be effective in reducing cancer cell growth, minimizing seizures and convulsions in children, decreasing inflammation, mitigating pain and providing therapeutic relief for many other ailments. CBD directly activates serotonin receptors, causing an anti-depressant effect, as well. Looking for a particular condition? You can find an extensive list of conditions as well as corresponding research from scientific journals, PubMed, and even the U.S. National Library of Medicine HERE and HERE.

So is it legal or not and why is this part so confusing?!

Since we now have a basis of the complexities of the makeup of cannabis aka marijuana, would you have thought the legal side would have been less complex? Nice try! 😉

According to “FDA Regulation of Marijuana: Past Actions, Future Plans” document and the Federal Controlled Substance Act of 1970, Marijuana is regulated under Schedule 1, defined as having: 1.) High potential for abuse 2.) No currently accepted medical use 3.) Lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

Schedule 1 is the same category that heroin, LSD, and ecstasy are classified in. There has been an attempt to adjust this stringent classification due to research performed after 1970, but the federal government will not budge. In 2009, even the American Medical Association recommended rescheduling cannabis from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 2 drug with no success. In order for scientists to even research cannabis they must have approval on the federal level by the DEA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to perform studies which has proven to be no small task.

There are 3 classifications for marijuana legalization status however; some states have broad laws and others more specific.  There is 1.) Medical marijuana broadly legalized 2.) Marijuana legalized for recreational use and 3.) No broad laws legalizing marijuana. I suggest you search for your own state laws such as found HERE and HERE and get to know any upcoming laws in play. The purpose of this article is legal compliance and medicinal application so please take it upon yourself to know your particular laws and follow.

So this is where it gets interesting! Follow me here… the DEA classified cannabis (marijuana) as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, however did you know that the United States Department of Health & Human Services holds a Patent on cannabis as “antioxidants and neuroprotectants” as of October 7^th, 2003? You can find Patent # 6,630,507 HERE which states “Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.”

Come again? The one hand has it equated to the standard of heroin and LSD, however the other government agency hand has claimed it as a neuroprotectant (as in “neuro” relating to nerves or the nervous system and to “protect” is to save, shield, defend). They also clearly state it is “useful in treatment” and “limiting damage” and “advantageous” and dare I say, that this patent shows it has multiple accepted medical uses. Anyone else scratching their head as to how such a major contradiction could possibly even happen?

Here is a real life personal experience of a NY Post journalist’s explaining his experience and frustration when finding out about this major contradiction while his wife was very ill as it remained illegal. She could have lived with a greater quality of life through medicinal marijuana but instead the government plays games. His wife suffered for nearly a decade from Multiple Sclerosis, a neurological disease, before she died. See HERE.

Ok I am ready to try it (legally)! But what is the difference between CBD Oil and CBD Hemp?

So we have heard the term CBD interchangeable with the term cannabis and now I am adding the term hemp. Are you even more confused now? Don’t worry, you are not alone. So let’s discover….

Hemp is the durable soft fiber from the Cannabis plant stem (stalk). Hemp is tall with not much flowers. Where Marijuana has a shorter stalk and bushier flowers or buds. So think about hemp and cannabis this way… We have a head and we have feet. We are made up of components and/or constituents that make the entire body. This is just like these plants, but they grow different sizes of the components of the plant. So one may have stronger, larger feet, the other, a larger head. Both hemp and cannabis are members of the species Cannabis sativa and both contain the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), yet they are distinct strains with unique biochemical compositions and uses. When you see the term Industrial Hemp, this Hemp comes from the stalk only and has been used for commercial items including paper, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed.

Legally speaking CBD (cannabidiol) with more than .3 THC dry weight is only protected in states that have legalized medical marijuana. Therefore your CBD oil or CBD Hemp product must have less than .3 THC in those approved states and is regulated as such in states that have not legalized medical marijuana. Other than that you would need a doctors “recommendation for medical marijuana” which is not technically a prescription.

With the government restrictions on marijuana for the past 50 years, Hemp has become an option for many that have been unable to receive whole flower CBD as hemp naturally has a lower THC and higher Cannabidiol (CBD) making it a choice for those that want to stay within legal limits. Hemp contains CBD along with approximately 0.3 to 1.5 percent THC, but marijuana is typically 5 to 10 percent THC. Remember that medical marijuana may contain upwards of 20 percent THC, with the best strains going up to 30 percent. Therefore it is easier to produce the legal limit of THC in hemp, however more hemp plant is needed for extraction than that with marijuana. Hemp cultivation is legal in all of the US states due to the Agricultural Act of 2014.This act allows for industrial hemp cultivation if there is research on it being provided by the state or university programs.

There are some risks to using CBD hemp especially for an organic purist. Hemp is a “bio-accumulator” meaning the plant naturally draws toxins from the soil. “Hemp is a good phytoremediator potential for heavy metals and radioactive cesium due to the possibility of using the phytoextracted material in industrial products.” Another risk is because so much more plant material is needed to be cultivated to create the oil, there is the possibility of extra solvents that may be used to fill that finished product. 3^rd party, state approved testing becomes very important as well as full spectrum lab reports regarding the THC constituents and the THC levels which should be readily available on company websites.

There are many different delivery methods for medicinal purposes and this is probably the second most important factor when addressing a particular health problem or need. (Behind quality and utilizing the whole flower, aka gaining the “entourage effect”) Those delivery methods include: inhalation, oral delivery and topical application.

We are going to look at “CBD Hemp” oil for now. Oil is extracted from the Hemp plant using one of just a few extraction methods for either whole plant and/or hemp. This is where you need to have your buyer beware signals turned on!

One popular extraction method for extracting CBD oil is the Rick Simpson technique, which uses petroleum or naphtha as solvents. This method, although efficient in extracting the active compounds from the cannabis plant (mostly done with marijuana plants), usually leads to products that have a lower concentration of terpenes and other cannabinoids such as CBD, while effectively yielding higher concentrations of THC. This method adds solvent which does not yield the cleanest, least toxic oil for sure.

Hexane, a solvent frequently used to extract CBDs from hemp, has been found by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be neurotoxic producing numbness in the extremities, muscular weakness, blurred vision, headache and fatigue, according to a official statement by the EPA.

Ethanol and olive oil can be used for extracting the full range of cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant, and they have the advantage of being safer for consumption more than the previous option. On the other hand, ethanol also extracts chlorophyll, so the final product has an unpleasant taste and a not-so-tempting green color. It is possible for the chlorophyll to be removed by filtering the extract, but this additional step also removes a significant proportion of the cannabinoids, therefore leading to less potent oil.

Olive oil can be an alternative, but again it has its drawbacks. The good part about extracting the cannabinoids with olive oil is that the technique is very simple and only requires to heat up the oil up to 200°F and filtering the extract. The negative part is that this extract cannot be concentrated, so although it does contain CBD, in order to see significant health effects one needs to consume large amounts of this oil.

It’s therefore not the best choice if you’re looking to obtain a CBD-rich oil, not to mention it’s also considered unsafe due to the residues that may remain from the solvents and potentially interfere with one’s immune function. Maybe not the ideal choice.

Then there is an extraction process using CO2. This method uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and extremely low temperatures to isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the medicinal oil in extremely expensive equipment. This process may increase the cost of the product, however in turn, the purity is better than the previous options.

Now, not all CBD is created equal as you can surmise already. A groundbreaking study in 2015 which you can read HERE uncovered the far superior therapeutic properties of using whole plant CBD-rich cannabis extract as compared to single-molecule cannabidiol (CBD). Whole plant CBD-rich is in reference to utilizing the whole plant including the flowers of the marijuana plant versus single-molecule cannabidiol from a synthetic source. This study resulted in a bell-shaped dose-response curve, meaning that the synthetic CBD stopped having any therapeutic effect beyond a certain amount. When testing the whole plant CBD-rich extract they discovered unlike the bell-shaped does response curve of pure CBD, the anti-inflammatory, anti-pain response of whole plant CBD increased with dose, making the whole plant CBD ideal for clinical use.

Remember the “entourage effect” mentioned earlier? This is why legalization for the whole flower or marijuana plant versus only Hemp is important. Enter synergy! CBD and THC act on different pathways in the body. THC and CBD affect different targets within the body while CBD minimizes THC’s psychoactive effects. Do you recall learning earlier about the terpenes minimizing the high while increasing the effectiveness of the THC chemistry in our body? This is why utilizing the whole plant flower extraction process is so important. So you can receive the synergy of all of the cannabinoids, terpenes and other constituents that are contained in each flower. When testing products be sure to listen to your sense of smell. That’s the terpenes talking to you.

Taste it. The different extraction methods also can affect the taste. Some of the CBD Hemp oils I have tried are disgusting and some taste like you’re chewing on burnt 2-week-old cigarettes. I haven’t even gotten into dosage in the article and I won’t but what I will tell you is the taste will matter when you are attempting to hold two large droppers full of CDB Hemp in your mouth that taste like 2-week-old cigarettes. That’s how tinctures work. They are under the tongue oral absorption methods. If you are using one that has been extracted with alcohol/ethanol like in many oral sprays, you will probably taste that alcohol burn. Is it for your child? It might be a costly gamble for something that your child or you will not be able to continue taking because of the bad taste and/or high dosage required.

There is a new exciting, patent-pending extraction process for the whole flower. It is unique beyond its extraction because it is also water-compatible from the moment it is extracted. Therefore it is not necessarily oil, but a water soluble, whole flower fluid and utilizes the whole flower not just hemp (stalks). This creates a greater bio-availability (assimilates easily) and eliminates the need for any secondary treatment like used in the other options as well as many of those risks associated with other extraction processes. It can be used as a tincture, water, vaporizers, and topical treatment with a .3 THC level benefiting from the powerful “entourage effect” while not requiring a doctor’s recommendation for medical marijuana because it is under the .3 THC legal requirement in most states. In other words this whole flower extraction process extracts all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other constituents that are contained in each flower. The extraction process maintains the integrity of the flower flavors and taste and this non-psychoactive oral spray tastes like cinnamon candy hearts making it incredibly easy to deliver discreetly and “on-the-go” as well as a painless and tasty method for children in need of its benefits. They are reporting a 90% absorption rate into the blood stream which is significantly higher than oil.

The averages for CBD bioavailability by method of administration are:

6% – 15% for oral (swallowed and digested by the GI system) CBD

35% for oromucosal (absorbed directly through the mouth) Some call this sublingual.

34%-46% for intranasal (applied through the nose)

40% for vaporized (absorbed through the lungs)

20:1 for liposomal

If you have studied any oil extraction process to receive the “essential” oil from a plant you will quickly understand why purity and quality is of the utmost importance even pertaining to oils for lavender or frankincense. You are utilizing the most effective and strongest part of the plant at levels that are highly concentrated. If you are using a product for medicinal purposes, the big question you will need to ask yourself is “if I am looking to use this product for its holistic medicinal benefits, what is the purest and most effective option for me?”

As with any product I would recommend that you be absolutely sure it is sourced from an organic farm. As of this article, the USDA has not recognized CBD Hemp as being able to receive USDA Organic Certification, except for industrial hemp, which as you previously learned is not the same plant with the same important constituents. Pesticides should be a huge concern for you if using cannabis for treatment. You are using a concentrated extraction of a plant that could house toxic chemicals.

You will want to look for 3^rd party resources and chemical analysis tests from the company or chemical analysis.

If you are in a legal state and can get a medical referral, you can visit HERE to search for dispensaries and Florida medical doctors HERE.

There are many scientific studies that have been done. We still need more, but what is the most important study platform? Seeing a child’s seizures decrease in frequency or debilitating pain stop in its tracks within minutes of receiving a medicinal dose, or a child stricken with autism increase verbalization after CBD therapy and that child can sleep better, and those dying of cancer who have recovered and are still with us today after a therapeutic regimen. Those are the ones that really matter. Life changing results without adding debilitating pharmaceutical side effects. It is a matter of quality of life. Does it have to happen to you or someone you love to understand or become legal?

Even a retired judge altered his opinion when he had to experience life or death decisions. Doug Bench, who as a judge, used to send people to jail for marijuana until his own major health issue with COPD left him with a 30-month tops life expectancy if he had stuck with a pharma regimen. After his wife did her own research, he reluctantly went on CBD oil which quickly became the turning point in his health that would keep him alive and well. “I put 311 people in jail for marijuana offenses. I was wrong.” See his story HERE.

I encourage you to learn more about Dr. Ralph Mechoulam and why he was dubbed the “Father of Cannabinoid Medicine” in the documentary “The Scientist.”

Do You Spirulina? Why Should You Add This Super-Food To Your Regimen?

Do you know the benefits of Spirulina? It is considered one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet! It is a single cell organism, with a spiral physical configuration that comes from blue green freshwater algae. Usually found as a natural algae powder, it is incredibly high in protein and a good source of antioxidants, B-vitamins (Thiamin) and other nutrients. Are you vegan, or try to eat less meat? It’s a great protein source with its essential amino acids. It also includes the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which has been noted for its anti-inflammatory properties. Spirulina is one of the few foods with a natural GLA content.

Also with its high source of (highly digestible) iron it’s a wonderful addition during pregnancy, after surgery or anytime the immune system needs a boost! Did you know that it has over 26 times the calcium in milk, without the casein too.

It’s also extremely high in chlorophyll which helps remove toxins from the blood. And who wants toxins in their blood?!

According to research and via GreenMedInfo.com Founder Sayer Ji: “Chlorophyll is an alternative source of energy for the human body, and actually all animals have this ability, because it goes into the mitochondria as a metabolite & enables the mitochondria to capture sunlight energy which photo energizes the kreb cycle in such a way that it produces significantly more ATP (adenosine triphosphate, transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism) which is sort of the energy currency of the body, without increasing oxidative stress.” (see Sayer Ji’s full video link HERE).

How do you add Spirulina and Chlorophyll to your regimen? We gain benefits from Wheatgrass and Spirulina in our Organic super foods green drink, and in a fun “cocoa” mint drink for kids and adults. Visit this link HERE to order your Cocoa Mint Spirulina and other organic super-foods.

Why Should I Detox?

 

by Kelly Brogan, MD

Detox – Why You Need To

 Have you ever read The Lorax? The message of this prescient tale has never been more important: it takes one person, motivated by love, to reconnect the many to their own native wisdom. From this place of connection, the natural world has infinite regenerative capacity.

I’ve spent the past decade in the trenches of pubmed.gov exploring the data that tells a grim story about how we are killing this planet and ourselves…death by 1000 paper cuts. There is data to support changes to your daily routine – ditching receipts, or choosing a new hair dye – but then there is data that makes us feel powerless and destined for decimation by The Man.

Here’s the kicker, though: the dangers of toxicant exposures are highly personal.

Like everything else in the reframing of our human experience, we are de-standardizing health. We are bringing medicine back into the realm of the “N of 1” or the “study of You”. You are not a randomized clinical trial. You are a specific symphony of information.

This is why the old model of studying toxicity – the dose makes the poison – is antiquated. In the newest literature, there is the potential for a synergistic process to emerge from concomitant exposures. I want to tell you about one of the more important recent papers that speaks to this issue.

I’m going to lay it on you and then we will figure out what can be done to detox your body and your life.

Toxic Co-Exposures

So, Houston…we have a problem. Just look at our children. In 2008, our infant mortality rate in the first year of life left us ranking 46th in the world. By 2015, we had plummeted to 59th, and the unenviable position of having the highest rate in the world on the first day of life.

Given that we spend vastly more money and have more doctors than our seeming competitors Guam and Cuba, it’s time to take a good look at the exposures driving this seeming epidemic of mortality. Then we must examine the chronic diseases 1 in 6 of our children are now labeled with.

In the paper Environmental Toxicants and Infant Mortality in the USA, Kennedy (et al) propose that we ask some big questions about the roles aluminum, mercury, silicofluoride, lead, fertilizers, and glyphosate play in infant mortality. That’s a long list of suspects; because there isn’t just ONE smoking gun.

In this open-access paper, the authors explore the history of how these agents have been supported by public policy and how they now interact, potentially synergistically, to keep us sick, and in some cases, to accelerate our deaths.

They write:

“A baby born in the U.S. with excess mercury derived from its mother’s mercury/silver amalgam tooth fillings is subject to further exposure to both mercury and aluminum from an aggressive vaccine schedule that requires more vaccinations than any other country in the world, including a Hep-B vaccine administered at birth that contains both mercury and aluminum. If the mother is unable to nurse the baby, and if economic considerations influence her to choose a powdered formula reconstituted with tap water, then it is likely that the infant will also be chronically exposed to fluoridated water during the first year of its life.”

While we are swimming in a chemical soup at any given moment, they focus their discussion to three major players:

Aluminum – Beyond Foil!

Foreign to the human system, embedded deep in the earth’s crust, aluminum is now a routine exposure through deodorants, baking powder, antacid drugs, inhaled particles, and injected vaccines. A known neurotoxin and potent immune stimulant (why it is used as an adjuvant in vaccines), aluminum appears to be a vector of autoimmunity and chronic neuroinflammation, particularly when exposure occurs during the sensitive window of neonatal development. Implicated in autism, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, and Parkinson’s, neurological degeneration is on the rise, in part due to our escalating exposure.

Fluoride – Great for Teeth?

Sixty five years ago, fluoride was introduced into municipal water supplies under the auspices of its potential to prevent dental decay. In fact, fluoride was waste from the notorious Manhattan Project, in which hydrofluorosilicic acid was used to separate uranium from phosphate rock in efforts toward the creation of the American atomic bomb. Despite its being framed (sodium fluoride, not the less studied, more toxic hydrofluorsilicic acid) by the CDC as one of the most important public health interventions of modern times, an examination of the literature on fluoride’s health effects supports quite another story.  With tooth decay rates similar in fluoridated and unfluoridated regions, the epidemiologic signal of harm includes kidney failure, dental fluorosis, and in 36 studies, demonstrated lower IQs in children when exposed systemically.

Glyphosate – Roundup’s Toxic Vector

With evidence of carcinogenicity, intestinal flora disruption, liver and kidney toxicity, and chelation of vital nutrients, glyphosate exposure is the result of a food supply commandeered by the makers of pesticides which once included Agent Orange. In formula and even breastmilk, glyphosate (and the other synergistic ingredients in Roundup) are an early exposure to today’s babies. These toxicants have the capacity to interfere with all aspects of human health in increasingly documented and studied ways.

The authors discuss the “Petkau Effect” in which ‘harm from chronic low levels of exposure to one or more injurious factors turns out to be greater than from a single, much larger exposure’. For example, the combination of aluminum and fluoride exposure results in the compound aluminum fluoride which can penetrate the blood-brain barrier potentially delivering the complex to the delicate tissues of the brain. The authors state:

“As studies of “Autoimmune-inflammatory syndromes induced by adjuvants” (also called “ASIA”) have documented, the widespread use of aluminum “adjuvants” to augment the response of the human immune system during vaccination, combined with public water treated with silicofluorides being delivered to over 120 million Americans, can only make toxicants like silico fluoride and aluminum more injurious than they might be in isolation.”

One of the authors, Senneff has previously published on the potential for glyphosate to similarly ferry aluminum into the brain. This trifecta is unfortunately eluding exposure because of the intricate web of potential and highly personalized interactions.

The authors conclude that “in countries where vaccination, fluoridation, and herbicides applied to the food and water supply are being aggressively increased by policy-makers, it should not be surprising that disorders, diseases, and fatalities in early infancy are correspondingly rising.”

What to do?

1. Buy Organic

While there is concern about decimation of the complex web of life that is our soil, and the informational properties of plants and animal foods, eliminating pesticide exposure from your diet is a powerful step as evidenced by assessment studies. Prioritize organic purchases for the dirty dozen according to EWG. Remember that washing produce does not remove glyphosate.

2. Filter Your Water

A major source of fluoride ingestion, invest in the first countertop reverse osmosis for your 8 glasses a day! This will also help you avoid metals, hundreds of disinfectant byproducts, and even low dose medications exposures!

3. Think Long and Hard About Vaccination

With some of the prime aluminum culprits being Hep B and Gardasil, learn the ingredient list of any and all pharmaceutical products you are considering. As we discover more about the near infinite sophistication of your interconnected bodily systems, and the hyper-individuality of any cause and effect process resulting from a healthcare decision, the one-size-fits-all, indemnified vaccine program may begin to make less and less sense to you. Educate yourself before you make a choice that could change everything for you and your family. Trust your body. Invest in your immunity. And explore a mindset shift that offers you a fear-free way to understand health and wellness. For further research, check out nvic.org, fearlessparent.org, and greenmedinfo.com.

Further eliminate aluminum by swapping out your deodorant, cookware (for ceramic, glass, or stainless steel), and eliminating antacid medications and aluminum-containing baking products.

4. De-Stress

Ever wonder why two people can be exposed to the same toxic exposures, and only one of them will develop depression or cancer? The health of the stress response has a lot to do with it, according to recent literature. Here is a powerful meditation for reversing stress damage.

It’s NACCHO Business!

If you have your eyes open you would have seen the recent announcement of a plan for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to quarantine and force vaccinate the entire population or who they deem necessary. If you missed it, I am glad that your eyes are now open so please check HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE and because those organizations are so very trustworthy you may want to see this HERE and HERE where you can also download some 10+ thousand documents to review. But for sake of time, let’s get to the point of “NACCHO Business.”

So what is the “Control of Communicable Diseases” proposal: “Through this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is amending its domestic (interstate) and foreign quarantine regulations to best protect the public health of the United States. These amendments are being proposed to aid public health responses to outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the largest recorded outbreak of Ebola virus disease (Ebola) in history, the recent outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in South Korea, and repeated outbreaks and responses to measles in the United States, as well as the ongoing threat of other new or re-emerging communicable diseases. The provisions contained herein provide additional clarity to various safeguards to prevent the importation and spread of communicable diseases affecting human health into the United States and interstate.” 

In short what this means is that they can legally apprehend, detain (isolate or quarantine), and treat (including vaccinate) anyone simply for suspicion of being infected by a communicable agent. The steps for this plan appear to have already been in place and going on for quite some time. According to the proposed Quarantine/Communicable Disease plan of the CDC & HHS they may dictate when, what and who is a risk. See HERE on what you can do to voice your opposition to this plan and make comments on them HERE.

Someone recently shared a document with me called the “Drive-Thru Point of Dispensing Planning Guide” specifically for Orange County, Florida and that lead me to look into the organization: NACCHO which stands for “The National Association of County and City Health Officials.”  Take a look at it. A good look. Let’s use common sense in this scenario. Do you like the photos showcasing the MacDonald’s of vaccine implementation? Does that make your stomach a little queezy? It does me! Well continue listening to your common sense via your gut. Why are people driving around when there is a possible epidemic and they might be infected? While you are online, go ahead and search “NACCHO, {your county}”, let’s see what you find?

What else has been in place to move closer to what looks like a combined goal? The U.S Department of Health and Human Services has been implementing the National Adult Immunization Plan and the National Vaccine Plan Implementation since 2010. The same year the Affordable Care Act  as it was officially signed on March 23, 2010. Is the timing a coincidence?

Did you know the pharmaceutical vaccine makers were provided immunity? See HERE about how the “Court majority voted to reject substantial evidence in the Act’s legislative history that the 99^th Congress fully intended to protect an American’s right to sue a pharmaceutical corporation for injuries that could have been prevented if the company had elected to make a safer vaccine.” Via www.NVIC.org, “on February 22, 2011 the U.S. Supreme Court shielded drug companies from all liability for harm caused by vaccines mandated by government when companies could have made a safer vaccine.  ¹ From now on, drug companies selling vaccines in America will not be held accountable by a jury of our peers in a court of law if those vaccines brain damage us but could have been made less toxic. ² “  Be sure to bookmark the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). You will also want to sign up for notifications in your state when a vaccine mandate goes on the table by signing up at the NVIC Advocacy Portal HERE.

Some of these chemical concoctions in a number of vaccines include aborted fetal cells. Rhetorical question for those that also have a firm belief in God: Do you think He is OK with that? See the CDC Vaccine Excipient List for details. It’s available for you to view at any time HERE and you can read more about it HERE.

I am not suggesting there be should no plans in place for epidemics, outbreaks, unexpected events in this country because there should be plans to keep citizens safe. I do enjoy a good play on words including sarcasm as you can tell by the title of this post. However, I do not like the sound of any governing body force quarantining and injecting us at their will with a cocktail of toxic ingredients from an industry that has absolutely NO legal ramifications or consequences for damage sustained by an ineffective and even faulty product.

I think there is more to be uncovered. I think there needs to be a deeper look into the Board Members of NACCHO and even the Advisory Groups, as I would love to know their affiliations and connections to big Pharma. Take a look at Public Health Preparedness Plan specifically the Antiviral Distribution and Dispensing section. “NACCHO is working in conjunction with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and CDC to explore alternative models for antiviral distribution and dispensing during a pandemic, or other public health emergency.”  Food for thought: If we know a government agency has been caught lying, whether we learn it has taken place in the past & now we learn it, or present day, even if the political system decides to prosecute or not or slap their hands; do we take anything they say at face value? Where do you draw the line? Think about your own personal relationships? Where do you draw the line? Do we say OK well they lied about that but I’m pretty sure they’re not going to lie about this?

So how does this tie together? There is entirely too much riding on information from organizations that have been uncovered to be not forthcoming at the very least and with the recent push by our government to implement aggressive vaccine implementation plans, it does not sit well with me and it should not sit well with you either. Do not be complacent, get active, know what is going on in your community and your state, and voice your opposition in the links provided so we have time to climb out of this rabbit hole before we are really stuck.

FDA Is Redefining The Term ‘Healthy’ On Food Labels

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration told the maker of Kind bars that some of its nut-filled snacks couldn’t be labeled as “healthy.” Now the agency is rethinking what healthy means, amid evolving science on fat and sugar.

So, you’re looking for a quick grab-and-go snack, and there’s a row of energy bars at the checkout counter. Are they a healthy option?

The maker of Kind bars thinks so. The company has used the phrase “healthy and tasty” on some of its products that contain lots of nuts. But, here’s the issue: The bars contained too much fat to meet the Food and Drug Administration’s strict low-fat definition of healthy. So, as we reported last May, the company helped launch a petition to challenge the status quo.

Now the FDA has begun the process of redefining the term “healthy” on food labels. Policymakers are looking for input from food makers, health experts and the public. You can weigh in with your ideas about what factors and criteria should be used for the new definition. (Submit electronic comments directly to the FDA).

“As our understanding about nutrition has evolved, we need to make sure the definition for the ‘healthy’ labeling claim stays up to date,” writes Douglas Balentine, who directs the Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling at the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

So, how has nutrition science — and the thinking about what’s healthful — evolved?

Let’s start with fat. The fat-free era has come and gone. “The most recent public health recommendations now focus on type of fat, rather than amount of fat,” Balentine writes in a blog post for the FDA.

For instance, the type of fats found in avocados and nuts are considered healthful fats. We’re encouraged to eat more plant-based fats and omega-3s from fatty fish, whereas the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting saturated fats — the type of fat found in meat and other animal products — to less than 10 percent of your total daily calorie intake.

The modernized definition of “healthy” will also likely address sugar content. The FDA is taking into account all of the newer evidence linking excessive sugar intake to heart disease and obesity.

“Our thinking about sugars has changed,” Balentine told us, “so I would think the amount of sugar in products is something we [will] take into account.”

In an ideal world, people wouldn’t need labels to signal which food choices are healthful. As nutrition guru Marion Nestle of New York University, tells us, “if people want to eat healthfully, we know how to do that. That’s eating lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.” And she says we should eat packaged and processed foods in much smaller amounts.

“I don’t think we should have health claims [on food packages] at all,” Nestle tells us. “They’re inherently misleading,” because food companies use them as a marketing tool.

But the FDA’s Douglas Balentine pushes back, pointing out that Americans are looking for information on food packages to help them make better decisions.

“The typical consumer makes a purchase decision in three to five seconds. They don’t have a lot of time,” Balentine says. So, he says, an up-to-date “healthy” label will give people a quick way to identify better-for-you options. “We want to give consumers the best tools and information about the foods they choose.”
