Is your milk from GMO yeast ?

Synthetic dairy products, including milk made from genetically engineered yeast, are being touted as environmentally friendly health foods that should replace real milk from cows and other animals

Along with missing important micronutrients that are abundant in real milk, fake milk contains compounds that have never before existed in the human diet

Ninety-two mysterious, unknown compounds were detected in the fake milk that don’t exist in real milk

None of these compounds have been tested for safety by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Tech oligarchs and venture capitalists are funding most fake food technologies, which gives globalists unprecedented power and control over human health

Vitamins prevent sepsis mortality

Sepsis is caused by an aggressive, out-of-control immune response to an infection in the bloodstream. Each year, an estimated 1 million Americans get sepsis and up to half of them die

Giving patients IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) for two days reduced mortality nearly five-fold, from 40% to 8.5%

Lab testing shows that while neither vitamin C or hydrocortisone alone can prevent cell death following exposure to toxins produced by bacteria, when given in combination, the concoction does protect the cells

Heartburn medicines cause Osteoporosis

An estimated 12.3 million Americans over 50 are affected by osteoporosis (“porous bone” or low bone density), and an additional 47 million younger Americans are in the early stages. Worldwide, the prevalence is 18.3%

Rates of hip fractures vary from tenfold to a hundredfold between countries, showing that low bone density is not a consequence of aging per se, but is dependent on lifestyle factors, including the use of certain drugs such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the most popular heartburn medications on the market

PPIs are only recommended for short-term use, yet 60% of users report staying on the drug for more than one year; 31% are still on them after three years. More than 60% are also taking them to treat conditions for which these drugs are not indicated, such as indigestion

Dozens of studies show rates of hip fractures are elevated among both long- and short- term users of PPIs, and at all dose levels

More recent research suggests one of the primary ways by which PPIs damage bone may be by way of collagen, as these drugs have been shown to inhibit collagen production through several mechanisms of action

Longevity & other functions of enzymes

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate biochemical reactions in your body. Digestive enzymes are important for proper digestion and nutrient absorption, but the benefits of enzymes do not end there

Researchers have discovered enzymes for all sorts of uses, from boosting athletic endurance by optimizing digestion and nutrient uptake to treating cancer

To optimize enzyme function, eat plenty of fresh, raw and/or fermented foods. Sprouts are a particularly excellent source. Fasting has also been shown to conserve enzymes

Spices can prevent bloating

A variety of spices helps to relieve bloating by improving gut motility, stimulating digestion and relieving gas

Fennel seeds are considered a natural remedy for digestive disorders, including heartburn, bloating, gas and even chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Ginger also has a long history of use as a natural digestive aid, useful for relieving nausea, indigestion, bloating and more

Cumin essential oil has even shown promise for relieving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, including stomach pain and bloating

Pepper is traditionally used as a carminative agent to help relieve gas as well as stimulate gastric secretions

The health benefits of Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant with broad-spectrum, system-wide health benefits, offering protection against radiation and promoting skin, eye, brain and heart health

A potent anti-inflammatory, astaxanthin is useful for virtually any inflammatory condition, from joint problems, such as rheumatoid arthritis, to cancer

Key differences that sets astaxanthin apart from other carotenoids include the ability to handle multiple free radicals simultaneously, protect both water-and fat-soluble parts of the cell, and the inability to function as a pro-oxidant

Your body needs carbon dioxide !

CO2 is typically thought of as nothing more than a harmful waste product of respiration, but it’s actually a driver of mitochondrial energy production, and it improves the delivery of oxygen into your cells

One of the simplest ways to optimize your CO2 is by breathing properly. Most people tend to over-breathe, which causes you to expel too much CO2. Proper breathing involves breathing less and breathing slower. Both of these allow CO2 to build up, and that appears to be part of why breathwork has such wide-ranging benefits

To have sufficient CO2 production, you need healthy mitochondria because CO2 is produced exclusively in the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria. If you have mitochondrial dysfunction, if you're hypothyroid or have high levels of inflammation, then you will not be producing enough CO2

When your CO2 is too low, your body reverts to an “emergency” vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO). Drawbacks of elevated NO include peroxynitrite species formation and pseudohypoxia. NO also damages the polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) in your cells, and inhibits energy production

CO2 combats cancer development by lowering the pH of the cell, thereby allowing extra water to be excreted. This is the opposite of linoleic acid (LA) and estrogen, both of which suck water in and cause the cell to swell. Cellular swelling is a feature of cancer cells
