When my neighbor got a heart attack everyone fussed over him. How can I have that?


We go through life encountering all sorts of obstacles, challenges, and endless attempts at recognition.
We have relatives, be it siblings or whatever, that get recognition and attention but for some reason it never comes our way.
So, because of our quest for attention, sympathy, or gossip about us, we strive for something that many people get and what many people do not get.
The one thing that comes up that we know for sure people will talk about is getting a heart attack.
What comes to mind in getting this ball rolling is to embark upon a train to Hell until our goal has been reached.
First and foremost we have to become fat or obese and if our metabolism will not permit that we have to do our best to restrict blood flow in our arteries to our heart.
Starting with day one we must consume flesh at every meal. We must eat it every day for breakfast lunch and dinner and keep a bowl full by the couch, recliner and bed for snacks.
Under no circumstances should you eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and pure water.
Yes, there are idiot vegetarians or totally insane vegans out there that will try to lay the “compassion” card on us. But those creatures are fair game and that’s why they are there.
We hear from the meat industry that factory-farmed meat is the best, especially for our intestines, our heart, and the planet, whereas range-fed animals are too anemic to provide any benefits whatsoever.
We know the planet is getting over-crowed so why not do our best to make room for others? After all, living until fifty or sixty will extend social security and make it available for those sickos that think living to a ripe old age has merit. All it’s gonna do is put us in old age homes around horny wannabees that couldn’t do anything with what they’ve got anyway.
If after consuming all the flesh we can handle we find that our cholesterol levels are still too low, we gleefully add GMO dairy products and eggs from factory-farmed animals.
Jeez, the GMO dairy is loaded with growth hormones that will make us bigger and fatter and because one egg supplies more protein that our body actually needs or can process in one day and puts an enormous burden on our organs and digestive system, we will knowingly be speeding up our desired goal.
We also have to add, eat and absorb as much processed foods as possible. Where else can be find these essential synthetic chemicals and artificial flavors and additives to help break our system down faster?
The good news is that any vitamins, minerals or nutrients that may have been in the animals are long gone by the time we get to them due to the processing and whatever has been added is useless so there’s no need to be concerned about eating them.
And, with the dairy, it’s a blessing that raw, unpasteurized and unhomogonized dairy has been outlawed because despite ingesting stuff loaded with parasites, we’ll get plenty of antibiotics passed to us from the animals that need them badly.
No matter what else we eat it must be fried in margarine, lard or canola oil because when refined oils are heated to really high temperatures it will not clog your arteries despite what the vegan and vegetarian fanatics tell you. And don’t worry about the trans fats like hydrogenated oils. The tranies are the good guys because they will help you achieve you desired goal so much quicker.
We know that advertising, for the most part, is a scam. Things have to be told to you because it’s forced upon us by a corrupt government that wants you to believe they care about you even if you don’t pay taxes.
That being said, it is to your advantage to begin drinking alcohol as if it were water and to begin smoking. These two wonderful substances provide a genuine warmth for your heart and your organs and will help to reduce the blood supply to your heart so your goal can be achieved quicker and compassion and concern for you will be abundant so much faster.
When you shop in the supermarket let your eyes be in control. Reading ingredients is a waste of time. Just buy what’s in the most colorful package. And if you do read ingredients, buy what has the most because you’ll get more of the good stuff. Who in his or her right mind would buy a bag of potato chips that only listed potatoes, coconut oil, and sea salt as ingredients? For it to be good there should be at least as many ingredients as you have fingers and toes.
Exercise sucks. You sweat, you gasp for breath, you have to drink lots of water, and your upped heart rate can give you a headache. Be smart. Buy a bigger TV.
When you start feeling achy, take a pill. Look at what sacrifices the doctors have made for you. The go to college for four years, then medical school for four years, then do internship for at least two years, and finally open up their own practice. And if you reject what they have learned in those ten plus years of dispensing synthetic chemicals or wielding a sophisticated pocket knife, you are creating a grave insult to them and making the grave coming to you later than sooner, which defeats the purpose
Last but not least, hate as best you can. Don’t waste you time on friends. Think of the people that have achieved what you are striving for and hate them for it every minute of every day. Instead of meditation and solace, become envious and angry.
You’ll be amazed how that emotional turmoil will play into your physical upheaval and how your heart attack will be right around the corner.
But, first and foremost, you must start with a goal. Say for your height you should weigh 150 pounds. That is pure crappola. Shoot for 250 pounds as fast as you can. When you reach that goal, you should walk up a steep hill once a weak. It will, tax your heart so heavily that your desired heart attack will right around the corner and so many people will be concerned about you that you will now be able to live in complete bliss.
Under no circumstances should you even consider taking organic sulfur crystals, bee pollen or superfoods. They will only hinder the completion of your desired goal of bodily and mental destruction and reverse anything and everything that is wrong with you right now.
Aloha!

Drink a Diet Coke, get a STROKE claims surprising research


While the serious health impact of sugary drinks like sodas and fruit juices has been recognized for some time, many people think that replacing these unhealthy drinks with artificially sweetened sodas is a safe and healthy option. Unfortunately, this is simply not true, as was once again highlighted recently in a study published in the American Heart Association’s journal Stroke.
For their study, researchers examined data collected on 2,888 people over the age of 45, and 1,484 adults older than 60, from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts. The information had been gathered for a study by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Boston University, called the Framingham Heart Study.

The participants were divided into two groups: The adults over the age of 45 were studied to determine the risk of stroke, since strokes rarely strike at a younger age than 45, and the seniors over the age of 60 were studied to assess risk of dementia, since this debilitating condition is rare in people younger than 60.
The researchers calculated how many artificially sweetened and sugary beverages each person consumed between 1991 and 2001, and then measured that information against the number of people in each group who went on to develop dementia or have a stroke in the following decade.
Interestingly, though previous studies have clearly linked the consumption of sugary drinks to serious adverse health effects including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart failure, obesity and stroke, this particular study found no such correlation. It did determine, however, that participants in each group who drank an average of one artificially sweetened drink a day were nearly three times as likely to have suffered a stroke, and were also nearly three times as likely to have developed dementia.
Of course, the American Beverage Association has dismissed the study out of hand, claiming that the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have conducted extensive research into the matter and have determined that artificial sweeteners are safe for human consumption.
Well, let’s take a closer look at the “science” supporting the safety of such sweeteners by considering a study published in the journal PLoS ONE.
After a thorough meta-analysis of 31 major studies published between 1978 and 2014, a group of scientists from the University of Sydney concluded that almost all of these studies were nothing more than propaganda bought and paid for by the artificial sweetener industry itself. They determined that industry-funded studies were mysteriously 17 times more likely to determine that sweeteners were safe than impartial, independent studies.
“It’s alarming to see how much power the artificial sweetener industry has over the results of its funded research, with not only the data but also the conclusions of these studies emphasizing artificial sweeteners’ positive effects while neglecting mention of any drawbacks,” said Professor Lisa Bero, one of the study’s authors, and the head of the Charles Perkins Center’s bias node at the University of Sydney.
Alarmingly, the study also determined that close to half of these studies failed to disclose conflicts of interest, and that a third failed to disclose where their funding had come from. And the studies where there was a direct conflict of interest were seven times more likely to show positive outcomes than impartial studies.
While switching sugary drinks for diet sodas is clearly not a healthy option, there are many things you can do to improve your health overall, and directly reduce your risk of a stroke. Harvard Women’s Health Watch lists several things each of us can do to prevent a stroke, including:
Lower blood pressure: High blood pressure is one of the greatest risk factors for stroke. Reduce it by ensuring you have no more than half a teaspoon of salt a day; avoid high-cholesterol, processed foods like burgers and cheese; ensure you eat four to five cups of organic, non-GMO fruits and veggies each day; get daily exercise, and quit smoking. Exercise reduces stroke risk in its own right, and since smoking thickens the blood and increases plaque buildup in the arteries, quitting is one of the surest ways to improve your health.
Lose weight: Obesity leads to complications like diabetes and high blood pressure, and losing just 10 pounds can make all the difference to reducing your stroke risk.
Drink in moderation: Drinking one alcoholic drink a day has been found to reduce the risk of a stroke – any more than that will increase risk though, so don’t overdo it. Red wine is your best option since it contains resveratrol which protects heart and brain health.

9 Reasons to add Chlorella superfood to your diet

Image result for images of Chlorella

Like spirulina, chlorella is a green alga with a host of health benefits. Though it has been around forever, this single-celled alga remained well hidden in freshwater ponds in the Far East until the end of the 19th century.
While the Japanese were among the first to bring it to the market, it took a few more decades for the West to discover its full potential. Recently, chlorella has been receiving a lot of buzz and has earned “superfood” status because of its extraordinary nutrient density.
While there are more than 30 different species, only two species, Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella pyrenoidos, have been well-studied for their many health benefits. Here are nine of them you should know about to improve your family’s health.

1.      Packed with essential nutrients

Chlorella is a nutrient powerhouse. About 60 percent of it is complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It has an excellent omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and offers a broad range of essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, iron, vitamin B12, and beta-carotene

2.      Binds heavy metals

Another reason chlorella has gotten some buzz is because of its ability to bind and help eliminate heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead, and other toxic compounds, such as dioxin, from the body. Its amazing detoxing properties come from chlorophyll and vitamin B12, which produce glutathione, a potent antioxidant to safeguard the body against toxicity and disease.

3.      Boosts the immune system

Though the evidence is limited, research has shown that chlorella may boost the immune system to ward off unwanted intruders that can make you sick.

4.      Improves cholesterol

Several studies have found that daily supplementation of five to ten grams of chlorella can reduce triglycerides and total cholesterol in people with high blood pressure and/or elevated cholesterol levels. It is believed that niacin, fiber, and catenoids, among other antioxidants present in chlorella, are responsible for the cholesterol-lowering effect.

5.      Acts as a powerful antioxidant

Though more studies are needed to confirm the results, chlorella’s antioxidants — including chlorophyll, vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein — have shown to lower oxidative damage to prevent chronic diseases.

6.      Keeps blood pressure in check

When people with high blood pressure were given a 12-week chlorella supplement, they saw their levels drop significantly. While it is still uncertain what’s causing the effect, some experts believe nutrients such as arginine, potassium, calcium, and omega-3s help prevent arteries from hardening.

7.      Stabilizes blood sugar levels

According to one study, there is evidence that daily chlorella supplementation may lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity in both healthy individuals and those at high risk of lifestyle-related conditions within 12 weeks.

8.      Enhances aerobic endurance

In another study, scientists gave a group of young adults six grams of chlorella or a placebo daily. After four weeks, the chlorella group had significantly improved the ability to saturate their lungs with oxygen, which is a sign of improved endurance. Researchers think the effect might be due to a collection of three amino acids that have previously been found to improve aerobic performance.

9.      Manages Respiratory diseases

Since chronic inflammation characterizes many respiratory illnesses, chlorella’s antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory compounds may improve the quality of life for people who have asthma or other respiratory diseases.
Before you get overexcited and start to grow chlorella in your garden pond, know that they have a tough cell wall humans cannot digest. Therefore, you should always take it as a supplement in powder, tablet, or capsule form to reap all these amazing benefits.

Vaccine-pushing scientists now arguing that the CDC should promote the inhaled nasal flu vaccine even though it doesn’t work

Image result for images of vaccines
The nasal spray flu vaccine, FluMist, came under fire not too long ago due to its lack of effectiveness. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) itself said that between the years 2013 and 2016, the spray vaccine offered very little in the way of protection against flu — and during the 2015-2016 year, the vaccine provided no protection to kids aged 2 to 17 at all.
Following this revelation, the CDC chose to recommend in summer 2016 that the spray vaccine should not be used for the upcoming winter. And as the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has reportedly pointed out, in addition to not providing protection, because FluMist contains a live attenuated virus, it also can cause vaccine strain infections and shedding. In other words, while it may not protect people from the flu, it could very well cause influenza infections in recipients or those who come into contact with them shortly after they’ve received the spray vaccine.
So not only is it ineffective, the vaccine could potentially cause more cases of flu than it prevents. But now, researchers are saying that the federal agency’s recommendation against using the nasal spray vaccine could cause more cases of flu, should the vaccine suddenly become effective again. Apparently, scientists are also guilty of “magical thinking” and believe that somehow, a vaccine that’s consistently not worked well over a period of years will randomly become effective. (RELATED: Learn more about the pitfalls of vaccine science at Vaccines.news)
A team of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School say that their recent analysis indicated that the CDC’s recommendation to not offer the nasal spray “could lead to more flu illness in the U.S. if the inhaled vaccine becomes effective again or if not having the choice of the needle-less vaccine substantially reduces immunization rates.”
The researchers are part of the Pittsburgh Vaccination Research Group, also known as “PittVax” for short, and they are one of the few teams in the US who track cases of influenza in people who did or did not receive a vaccine.
Science Daily reports, “Under current conditions, only offering the needle-delivered flu vaccine results in 20.9 percent of children ages 2 to 8 getting the flu, compared with 23.5 percent if both the needle and nasal vaccine are offered.” In other words, as it stands more children will get sick if both traditional needle vaccines and nasal vaccines are administered, but for some reason, these researchers still believe that the mist vaccine could be of use. According to them, other countries have not experienced the same lack of efficacy as is seen here in the US.
“It is possible that future research will find ways to make LAIV [the nasal spray vaccine] more effective in the U.S. again, in which case the CDC recommendations will need to be reexamined, ” the study’s lead author Kenneth J. Smith, M.D., M.S.,, who is also a professor of medicine and clinical and translational science at the university.
According to Smith, it would only take “relatively small changes” for the vaccine to become popular again. In order to fall back into the good graces of the pro-vaccine world, it would have to prevent the flu in 63 percent of recipients. The researchers also claim that if vaccine rates were to fall by 18.7 percent or more due to the unavailability of the nasal spray vaccine, it would behoove the CDC to recommend both anyways. This, of course, is problematic because one cannot definitively say more people would get vaccinated if the spray was made available again. And, we again run into the fact that the FluMist vaccine could actually contribute to the spread of disease.
As Green Med Info writer Celeste McGovern explains, people vaccinated with a live attenuated virus, like FluMist (also known as Fluenz) will shed the virus for up to 11 days after administration. It’s no wonder that more people get the flu when this vaccine is given. Flu shots, in general, have consistently been scrutinized for their inefficacy, along with other issues, but this one certainly takes the cake.

Is it safe to cut the moldy parts off a loaf of bread and eat the rest?

Image result for images of moldy bread

Those of us with depression-era parents or grandparents have been raised to avoid waste at all costs. That makes many of us loathe to throw any kind of food away, even when it starts looking somewhat dodgy. Bread is one of the foods that is most likely to go moldy, because it is often kept in a warm, dark place, like a breadbox or cupboard – perfect conditions for mold to grow. So, is it safe to just cut off the green bits and eat the rest as many of us have been taught to do?
To find the answer to that question, we need to consider what mold really is. While mold is part of the fungi family (just like mushrooms), that doesn’t mean it’s edible. Molds can cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions, and breathing in mold spores can be dangerous. In addition to the spores that are visible on the surface, there are also microscopic roots that dig deep into the food and are not visible to the naked eye.
Some people believe that just cutting out the bad bits is sufficient, but experts stress that this is not a safe option.
“We don’t recommend cutting mold off of bread, because it’s a soft food,” noted Marianne Gravely, a senior technical information specialist with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). “With soft food, it’s very easy for the roots [of the mold], or the tentacles, or whatever creepy word you want to use, to penetrate.”
In other words, what you can see with the naked eye is very likely only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
And some molds can produce secondary poisons called mycotoxins; think of the mold as the gun and the mycotoxins as the bullets. Grains like wheat and barley which have been stored for months in a silo already likely contain one of the most harmful mycotoxins – aflatoxin – which has been linked to liver cancer. The American Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that a quarter of all food crops in the world are affected by mycotoxins. By the time the bread has started growing mold it is therefore likely to be very contaminated.
Though experts suggest that it may be safe to eat sliced bread that looks unaffected by the mold, it is actually really safest just to chuck the whole loaf away. To safeguard your family, particularly little ones, be sure to wrap the bread up in a plastic bag and ensure that it is in a covered trashcan. Tell everyone in your family that they should never sniff moldy bread, as this can cause respiratory problems. (RELATED: To find out more about toxins lurking in your home, visit Toxins.news)
Mycotoxins are present in many other foods besides bread, and when ingested over a period of time can cause a multitude of health problems, including liver and heart disease, diabetes, neurological problems, asthma, autoimmune disorders, and even stunted growth and death.
It is important to be aware that aflatoxin is quite commonly found in peanuts, and any type of crop grown in hot and humid conditions, like the tropics, is likely to be contaminated. There are several other foods that carry the risk of mycotoxin contamination, including:
  • Alcoholic drinks;
  • Corn;
  • Sugar;
  • Sorghum;
  • Rye;
  • Cottonseed;
  • Hard cheeses;
  • Dairy and meat from animals that have eaten contaminated meat;
  • Rice;
  • Dried fruit;
  • Mesquite;
  • Maple syrup; and
  • Coconut oil (if sourced from dried coconuts).
Oasis Advanced Wellness notes that symptoms of mycotoxin poisoning include fatigue, a runny or stuffy nose, rapid weight gain or loss, difficulty sleeping, leaky gut syndrome, and behavioral issues, among others. A complete list of symptoms can be found here.
There are several steps you can take if you suspect you have been poisoned by mycotoxins. A grain-free diet and completely eliminating sugar is a good start. Efforts should also be made to ensure that your environment is completely free of mold. Colloidal silver, nascent iodine and oregano oil are useful supplements to help detoxify. You should also increase your intake of herbs and vegetables that fight fungi, including garlic, kale, cayenne, carrots, ginger and goldenseal.
