Mainstream veganism promulgates practices that are often at odds with health. Below are several examples: Despite these deficiencies, mainstream veganism is still a net positive, I contend, owing to its staunch stand for animal rights and rejection of animal exploitation.
Large-scale food firms and family-run producers alike are now plastering protein powders into practically every product. They procure these powders — often contaminated with harmful heavy metals and impurities — from the cheapest vendors they can find without a second thought for consumer welfare. Brainwashed by the relentless “protein propaganda” propagated by health influencers on podcasts and social media platforms, millions of unwary consumers readily snap up these products. However, informed shoppers who value their health steer clear of victuals sullied by this unnecessary and (largely) unhealthy add-on.
As a health advocate, my primary purpose in suggesting a (voluntary) reduction in reproduction is to promote the wellbeing of present and prospective generations, rather than merely preserving the perpetuation of our species (though the two are intrinsically positively correlated). Humanity’s greatest predicament is primarily propelled by overconsumption, to which emotionally and spiritually uncultivated people possess an inherent inclination. Human’s insatiable impulse to amass and acquire has devastated the planet (soil, water, air, food, biodiversity, etc.) and ruined our health. Irresponsible/excessive resource extraction and wanton waste generation inexorably lead to ecological destruction and severe health repercussions. Unbridled procreation is bound… Read more: Population, Procreation, and the Perils to People and Planet
I write about health regularly. However, contrary to common assumption, my mind is not endlessly tethered to “health.” In fact, beyond the few hours I spend each day speaking with clients, assisting members, studying/researching, and writing/sharing, it seldom lingers in my consciousness. Health is not the final destination. Rather, it is a vital vessel—a bridge to a pleasant, fulfilled existence. It is the most basic foundation upon which everything else is constructed. Without good health, opportunities shrink, and the joy of living fades. Many things that matter in this material realm depend on a well-functioning body. When our body functions… Read more: Health Is Not an End
In order to get back on track (or the right path), you ought to slow down. Imagine a race car driving 230 miles per hour. The car starts to spin. A critical thing the driver must do to avert further destabilization is to ease off the throttle. Only then can the wheels reestablish their grip, and the driver can regain control. Many people today are spinning out of control without even realizing it. Yet, instead of slowing down, they press harder on the throttle. This only accelerates their impending crash. Only by releasing the throttle can one regain control (of… Read more: Slowing Down
I went to get groceries. I picked up some fruits and vegetables (all organic) from local farmers, then stopped by a few health-focused grocery stores to buy what I couldn’t find at the farmers market. There were no processed foods in my bags—just whole, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds; precisely the kind of food my body was designed for. I voted with my dollars by supporting what I want to see more of. This, I believe, is the most impactful way to create change.
QUESTION: “I worked with a genetic consultant for just a few weeks that had suspicion I am experiencing Telogen Effluvium after an extensive phone call assessment. The shedding is happening in the crown area of my scalp and has been for at least 5 years. I’m becoming insecure about the overall thinness of my hair but particularly the crown area (widows peak, middle part and the back of my scalp where you naturally put your hair in a ponytail) because its slowly beginning to look see through to me. The bottom half of my hair is strong and thick…”
ANSWER: Hair loss is…
QUESTION: “Hi Akin, I hope this message finds you well! If an herb can not be found in its natural state (leaf or root), can we still consume it in a form of capsule? For instance, I saw your tweet about gymnema but I can only find it in capsulte. Would it still be effective? Thank you and kind regards :)”
QUESTION: “Dentist told me that there’s bad infection in one of my teeth, based on x-ray. I don’t feel any pain and tooth has been almost completely dead for a few years. He recommended root canal but I really want to avoid it. Is there anything I can do to eliminate this infection?”
Stevia is a plant, and its natural color is green (primarily due to the presence of chlorophyll). So why, then, is the “stevia” you commonly find in stores stark white? What processes were performed to transform this green plant into a pale powder? These, I reckon, are important questions to ponder before putting it in your body. Stevia grows natively in the rainforests of Brazil and Paraguay. It is locally known as “sweet leaf” or “sweet grass.” The Guarani, the indigenous people of the region, have chewed the fresh leaves of the plant and used them as a natural sweetener… Read more: How Stevia Became White
Many people in industrialized nations consume what can only be described as “trash.” This is not an exaggeration. There are actual waste and waste-like materials, disguised as food, in many processed and ultra-processed products. Here are just a few examples: Whey Protein. Waste byproduct of cheese-making. Found in protein bars, sports drinks, meal replacements, etc. Whey Protein Isolate. Basically whey protein that has undergone further chemical processing. Found in protein powders, protein bars, meal replacements, etc. Soy Protein Isolate. Chemically treated waste byproduct of soy oil production (made from defatted soy flakes). Found in protein bars, processed meats, and plant-based… Read more: Waste Products Disguised as Food
If you reside in the United States and continue to consume bread, there are very few safe choices available today. In fact, there is only one company that makes bread that is genuinely suitable for consumption..
Everyone who has recently observed the current Commander-in-Chief can confidently conclude that his cognitive capacity has considerably declined. While many attribute this discernible deterioration to old age, senility is not the sole factor. After all, even his present political opponent, who is only a few years younger, demonstrates strong mental acuity. I surmise that the most significant cause contributing to Joe Biden’s seemingly steadily progressing cognitive challenges is vascular weakness. His past medical issues substantiate this supposition. By “past medical issues,” I am specifically referring to the brain aneurysm he suffered as a senator, which necessitated swift surgical intervention. (For… Read more: Understanding President Biden’s Cognitive Decline
In this article, I will elucidate several reasons why raw living foods (fresh, unheated foods) confer greater benefits compared to their cooked counterparts and why routinely subjecting sustenance to high temperatures can be deleterious to health. Raw foods provide superior nutrition Cooking completely annihilates certain compounds (e.g., vitamin C), drastically denatures or damages nutrients like thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), folate (vitamin B9), carotenoids (precursors to vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin K, polyphenols, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and various phytochemicals, and disrupts the equilibrium of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, phosphate) in the food. Conversely,… Read more: Raw vs. Cooked
The optimal way to eat varies for each person, primarily based on their lifestyle (e.g., activity level), and to a lesser extent, environmental factors such as geographical location. That said, it is crucial not to transgress the bounds of anatomy and physiology, as Homo sapiens biologically most closely resemble frugivores. Thus, notwithstanding external influences, our fleshly frames function most efficiently on diets predicated on plants, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some seeds, nuts, and herbs.
Microplastics have been discovered in various human tissues, including blood, brain, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, placenta, and testicles. The minuscule synthetic polymer particles have permeated our environment, and it is impossible to avoid them completely. Nevertheless, it is feasible to implement measures to markedly minimize exposure and thereby mitigate the detrimental effects they exert on the body. Below, I delineate several methods I employ to protect myself against these pervasive pollutants.
True carnivores such as lions, tigers, and wolves eat their meat in its raw state. In contrast, humans who follow meat-based diets primarily consume cooked meat. While real carnivores maintain their dietary practices in accordance with their true nature and inherent instincts, humans who adhere to meat-based diets usually do so due to cultural norms or transient dietary trends. Only a minority of individuals consume large quantities of flesh out of necessity or for survival purposes (e.g., the Inuit, Saami, Nenets, Maasai).
Contrary to common belief, the ingestion of so-called “complete protein” is not only unnecessary but also unwise. This is because the human body does not assimilate “complete protein”; it must first break it down into individual amino acids.
An increasing number of individuals in Westernized societies are experiencing abnormal growths within their bodies, such as in the organs (e.g., colon, rectum, lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, brain, breasts, prostate), as well as in tissues like bones, blood, and lymph nodes. These growths often invade adjacent tissues and spread to other parts of the body, leading to a range of symptoms and complications. Unfortunately, most conventional treatments (i.e., chemotherapy, radio therapy, immunotherapy) inflict significant damage on the immune system, compromising the body’s innate defense mechanisms and ultimately exacerbating the condition.
Below is a concoction comprising five plants containing potent anti-cancer compounds that help inhibit abnormal cell division and thereby prevent the formation of abnormal tissue. The most notable compounds responsible for these actions are as follows:..
Activated charcoal (AC) is one of the most effective detoxifying agents on Earth. It is made from carbon-rich materials; it can be derived from either an inorganic source (e.g., coal, petroleum), or organic sources (e.g., coconut shells, bamboo, wood [oak, maple, and birch] and peat). Coconut shells are typically the best source material due to their low impurity levels.
Despite the title of this article, my intention is not to dictate your choices. I respect everyone’s free will, and, frankly, I am indifferent to the decisions people make regarding their bodies. What matters to me is providing information that can assist individuals in making well-informed decisions so that they can create a healthier, more harmonious life for themselves.
In 1949, a fascinating study was published in the first issue of the 70th volume of California Medicine, the journal of the California Medical Association. The study, titled “Rapid Healing of Peptic Ulcers in Patients Receiving Fresh Cabbage Juice” showed the remarkable healing power of raw cabbage juice.
At nighttime, our perception of problems is profoundly distorted. During this time, the mind perceives even inconsequential issues as severe and insurmountable; it magnifies negative thoughts, making them seem more overwhelming than they actually are. This subsequently increases cortisol and adrenaline secretion, induces anxiety, and makes it difficult to fall back asleep.
Bombarded with a barrage of harmful man-made chemicals on a daily basis, it is incumbent upon you to protect yourself. By implementing prudent practices into your routine, you can markedly mitigate the pernicious impact of these poisons on your body and mind.
Non-stick cookware contains a cocktail of health-damaging chemicals. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), also known as Teflon, forms the foundation of most non-stick coatings. When subjected to high temperatures, it releases toxic polymer gases that damage the lungs and cause what is known as “polymer fume fever” or “Teflon flu.” However, this is merely scratching the surface (pun intended).
The following is a potent multi-mineral, multi-vitamin herbal blend, suitable for individuals experiencing nutritional deficiencies. This blend comprises six powerful herbal nutritives, which are rich in organic, readily absorbable and assimilable nutrients.
While most multivitamin supplements are made of synthetic and/or inorganic ingredients, herbs are organic in nature, meaning, they contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, making them highly bioavailable…
Often, I’m asked about the dietary supplements I use regularly. The truth is, I don’t use any supplements in the traditional sense, unless you consider herbs as supplements (which I don’t).
I’ve been in Europe for about two months, and I have yet to see a seedless watermelon. While in the U.S., watermelons with seeds are a rarity, the opposite is true here: seedless watermelons are virtually non-existent.
Kidney Elixir contains some of the most potent nephritic (kidney-specific) plants that aid in cleansing, purifying, repairing, strengthening, and regenerating the kidney tissue, thereby helping improve kidney function/filtration.

Adrenal glands play a crucial role in secreting hormones that are vital for critical bodily functions, including the stress response, respiration, inflammation regulation, blood pressure control, sodium/potassium balance, and sugar metabolism. Weakening of the adrenals is a common occurrence, resulting from the impact of modern lifestyles, and it can lead to a variety of health issues that significantly decrease one’s quality of life.
Despite what you may have heard, ascorbic acid and vitamin C are not synonymous. Ascorbic acid is a synthetic compound created in a laboratory. Originally, almost a century ago, it was made from bovine adrenal glands but is now primarily synthesized from genetically modified corn sugar. In contrast, true vitamin C is a product of nature and is exclusively found in whole foods. It consists of a complex of organic molecules naturally present in a variety of sources, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs.
Life force energy is the force that sustains all life forms, including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. It permeates the flesh (particularly, the cells) of all living organisms, and serves as a key source of nourishment.
Many cultures have a name for Life Force Energy. In China, it is known as “Chi;” In Japan, it is called “Ki;” in India, people know it as “Prana;” in ancient Egypt, it was known as “Ka;” and Native Americans refer to it as the “Great Spirit.”..
I will open by stating that I strongly recommend that mothers breastfeed their children for at least the first 24 months. That is the most critical stage of human biological development, and mother’s milk with its singular chemical composition is uniquely suitable to meet the child’s specific needs during that phase. However, in cases of inadequate breast milk supply, or in the face of other factors that prevent the mother from nursing, “Living Food Plant-Based Baby Formula” can be used. The formula is designed to provide a developing baby with vital whole food, plant-based organic nutrition without polluting the child’s body with harmful/toxic ingredients that are found in virtually all commercial/conventional products…
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causal pathogen of the continuing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As the vast majority of the world is scrambling to find a synthetic antidote to the virus, few are aware that the remedy has always existed, and it can be found in nature. In this article, I discuss ten plants that have been shown to neutralize SARS-CoV-2, and the mechanisms through which they exert their SARS-CoV-2-inhibiting activity…
My intent is neither to dissuade you from getting the new coronavirus vaccine nor to encourage you to partake therein. The primary objective of this article is to provide pertinent information and personal perspective that may help you make a prudent decision. Of course, this is assuming the certainty of being subjected to stringent restrictions were you not to be inoculated leaves you with a choice…
Mother nature has provides us with muscle-building (and strength-increasing) plants that can assist bodybuilders and athletes in building lean muscle and achieving optimal performance.
Perhaps it’s time to put away the body-polluting, inflammation-inducing/acidifying, processed/synthetic supplements (protein powders, BCAAs, creatines, pre-workouts, post-workouts, etc.), and avail yourself of these natural alkaline plants…
Thinning hair and hair loss are common problems affecting modern society. As with most internal imbalances, these issues can often be corrected and normal hair growth restored…
A new organism that develops inside the woman’s womb is essentially a product of the lifestyles of the people who conceived it. The quality of the woman’s egg and the man’s sperm, influenced by their physical, mental, and emotional state, are the ultimate determining factors of their future child’s health. Those who intend to become parents have a duty and a moral obligation to take the necessary steps to ensure that their offspring is created with healthy “material” and that its home for the first nine months—the womb—is a wholesome environment that’s free from toxic pollutants…
There is a myriad of eye diseases and disorders that afflict modern humans. Nearly a quarter of the world’s population suffers from some form of vision impairment, of which 80% is avoidable. Conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and floaters are becoming increasingly prevalent and are starting to impact even the younger members of our society. According to medical communities, most of these diseases and disorders are of idiopathic etiology and are either irreversible (can only be ‘treated’) or can only be corrected using surgical procedures…
Smoke is incredibly injurious to the body, regardless of its source. It irritates the respiratory tract’s mucus membranes inducing mucus overproduction in the airways. The body, which is highly intelligent, creates this excess mucus to protect itself from the caustic effect of smoke. This is why smoking is often accompanied by a chronic cough, which denotes a presence of harmful matter in the system that needs to be expelled…
It is almost impossible to conceive that at no juncture in the past seventeen months have public health officials raised the importance of natural immunity. Considering the blatant, willful disregard for addressing this critical topic amidst an abundance of data on the mechanisms and impact of SARS-CoV-2, putting the integrity and motives of our “health leaders” into question would not be absolutely absurd.
While sweating is a natural and essential bodily function, the production of malodorous scent indicates internal pollution. In other words, fetid sweat is a consequence of poor dietary choices. “You are what you eat” seems to be the apt dictum here. Fortunately, being an intelligent machine, the body continuously endeavors to eliminate that which could imperil its homeostasis. This means that the impurities ingested or absorbed will come out not just via feces and urine but also through the skin via perspiration.
Have you ever lied in your bed, and just as you were about to fall asleep, or right upon awakening, you found yourself unable to move and breathe? Despite being awake and conscious, you were utterly powerless and in panic as you had no control over your own body? This phenomenon is known as “sleep paralysis” and is regularly experienced by approximately 10% of the general population.
No one is born craving processed manmade foods. The common person’s predilection and affinity for refined sugar, grains, starches, processed meats, dairy, and other “junk” results from sophisticated and artful manipulation of modern humans through artificial stimuli.
Although coffee is the most popular beverage globally and certainly has its place, owing to the way in which it alters the brain’s chemistry (resulting in unpleasant jitters, anxiety, and crashes), it is not optimal for daily consumption.
If you are experiencing stiffness, soreness, pain, or swelling anywhere in your body, this tip is for you. Whether you are dealing with a chronic inflammatory issue or are recovering from an acute bone or joint injury or surgery, this tip is for you.
An ungrounded person is diffident, fearful, hesitant, nervous, uncertain, anxious, irresolute, constantly worried, spaced out, and easily distracted. He or she is often overly self-focused and overthinks and overanalyzes even the banalest things.
Most people are full of sh*t is because they do not eliminate regularly. If you consume three large meals a day, you should have a bowel movement three times daily. This is common sense, or at least should be.
There has been much controversy surrounding soy, namely its impact on the endocrine system. This, like many other points of contention among health professionals and enthusiasts alike, arises from the failure to differentiate between that which is created by man and that which comes from nature. Had we a greater propensity for common sense and a more coherent understanding of basic chemical, physical, and biological principles governing this natural world, there would be much less confusion around dietary practices. The main concern is the soybean’s (Glycine max) or soya bean’s appreciably high content of phytoestrogens—plant chemicals that possess properties comparable… Read more: The Soy Controversy
