Herbs lower blood pressure

A controlled feeding study of people with known risk factors for heart disease showed eating 6.5 grams of 24 herbs and spices each day lowered systolic blood pressure
   
Heart disease has ranked No. 1 in the top 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. for years; the number of deaths has jumped 9% in just six short years

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with high blood pressure in adults, and low levels in infants and children are predictive of high blood pressure in later childhood and teen years
   
Salt has been vilified as a primary cause of high blood pressure. Yet, evidence shows it is the sodium/potassium ratio that has a greater impact on blood pressure
   
Additional strategies that help lower blood pressure include exercise, stress reduction, inspiratory muscle strength training, meditation and sauna bathing

The pandemic of the vaccinated !

For 15 years, I rigidly followed all vaccine guidelines, until one of my patients patiently shared a personal testimony about her vaccine-injured son, Jack 

She opened my eyes to a reality that I was previously unaware of: that informed consent was practically nonexistent and there were serious medical risks of vaccines being covered up by pharmaceutical companies and the federal government
   
Serious adverse reactions to COVID-19 shots are occurring, but victims are being silenced and discredited

Vaccine mandates have led to injuries, devastation and deaths — while the brainwashing “get your vaccine now” campaign is being used to divide and conquer
   
If you want your voice to be heard, I will help you share your testimony; please share your story with us, and encourage others you know who have a story to share theirs

Salmon farming has a cost

Farm-raised fish production has skyrocketed 527% in the last three decades
   
An estimated 50% of fish eaten worldwide comes from fish farms
   
More than one-third of “wild-caught” salmon from the Faroe Islands (tucked between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean) are actually farmed fish that escaped

Mowi USA, the world’s largest producer of Atlantic salmon products, was sued for misleading consumers with false marketing claims
   
Your “all natural” Atlantic salmon came from a factory fish farm

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
