Gratitude makes you happy & healthy

The ability to experience gratitude to others is a fundamental feature of human cognition

Positive effects linked to gratitude include social, psychological and physical benefits, which increase the more you make gratitude a regular part of your daily routine

Gratitude has a positive effect on psychopathology, especially depression, adaptive personality characteristic, positive social relationships and physical health, including stress and sleep
   
Those who are grateful have even been found to have a better sense of the meaning of life by being able to perceive good family function and peer relationships 

Two gratitude interventions that you can try in your daily life to promote gratitude include keeping a gratitude journal and expressing gratitude to others, such as by writing thank you notes

Regaining sense of smell

Loss of sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia, is a common symptom of COVID-19 and also can be caused by aging, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, diabetes, certain viral illnesses and many neurological conditions
   
The olfactory system is highly responsive to training; in one study, a 12-week smell training session significantly increased the sensitivity to detect odors in those with anosmia 

The basis for smell training is that using a neural pathway, such as that used by your olfactory nerve cells, reinforces and strengthens it
   
To try it, all you need is four different fragrances, such as rose, lemon, clove and eucalyptus essential oils
   
Actively sniff each scent for about 20 seconds a couple of times a day, such as immediately after waking up and before going to bed; be sure focus your concentration on the scent while you’re sniffing, trying to recall your experience of the scent

Palm oil fuels cancer

An animal study demonstrates palmitic acid, one of the most commonly used vegetable oils, triggers epigenetic changes that fuel metastatic cancer growth, even when used for a short time
   
The palm oil industry imposes far-reaching detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Land clearing practices lead to air pollution that have resulted in premature death, cardiovascular disease and respiratory illnesses in Southeast Asia

Vegetable oils raise your level of omega-6 fatty acid. This imbalance leads to inflammation and harm health having been linked to heart disease and higher rates of mortality
   
It is vital to dramatically reduce your vegetable oil intake and recognize the evidence-based link between your diet and cancer development and metastasis

An healthy gut prevents Alzheimer's

The bacteria in your intestines may influence brain functioning and can even promote neurodegeneration
   
In a study of 89 people, high blood levels of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate and valerate were associated with large amyloid deposits in the brain
  
LPSs and SCFAs are markers of inflammation and proteins produced by intestinal bacteria

High levels of butyrate — an SCFA produced when gut bacteria ferment fiber — were associated with less amyloid
   
The study represents a continuation of prior research by the team, which found that the gut microbiota in people with Alzheimer’s disease differs from those without the condition; in those with Alzheimer’s, microbial diversity is reduced, with certain bacteria being overrepresented and other microbes decreased
   
Optimizing your gut flora is a key strategy to preventing Alzheimer’s and a host of other chronic diseases

The health hazards of masks

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lied about masks’ effectiveness when CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky tweeted, “Masks can help reduce your chance of #COVID19 infection by more than 80%”
   
Walensky didn’t give a reference for her claim, but a large study from researchers at Yale, Stanford and the University of California Berkeley found much less impressive results from masks 

Wearing a face mask carries inherent risks, including the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, oxygen deprivation, psychological effects and more
   
Experts argue that while doing little to protect your health, and instead harming it, face mask mandates “fashion the citizenry as slaves” and act as symbols of enslavement
   
Despite a wealth of science showing masks don’t work, magical thinking — the belief that you can influence outcomes by doing something that has no causal connection to them — in their favor persists

World (Health) Corruption Organization

Fundamental corruption at the World Health Organization (WHO) contributed to manufacturing a “test pandemic”
   
Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, former head of health at the Council of Europe, explains that a pandemic used to be associated with widespread severe illness and death, but by changing the definition, removing the severity and high mortality criteria, WHO can now make a pandemic whenever it wants
   

COVID-19 was a “test” pandemic, not a virus pandemic, because PCR tests may give a positive result when it detects fragments of coronaviruses that have been around for 20 years, a fragment of virus too small to make you ill or a fragment of COVID-19 that was there weeks ago
   
The mass COVID-19 shot campaign is riddled with conflicts of interest at a fundamental level, and these conflicts are putting people’s lives at risk by putting vaccine production ahead of disease prevention

As Wodarg noted, if you want to earn money producing vaccines, you need new markets in which to use them, and new diseases so you can sell your vaccine

COVID-19 vaccine destroys the immune system

According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants, disclosure forms fail to inform volunteers that the vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they’re exposed to the virus
   
Previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — including those for SARS, MERS and RSV — have revealed a serious concern: The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) 

ADE means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection, the vaccine actually enhances the virus’ ability to enter and infect your cells, resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated
   
Lethal Th2 immunopathology is another potential risk. A faulty T cell response can trigger allergic inflammation, and poorly functional antibodies that form immune complexes can activate the complement system, resulting in airway damage
   
There’s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and would need the vaccine the most — are also the most vulnerable to ADE and Th2 immunopathology
