The Dearth of Discernment
Seeing a sea of seemingly sensible people so easily succumb to patent disinformation disseminated by clout-chasing “influencers,” disingenuous politicians, and mendacious media (both mainstream and alternative) buttresses my conviction that judicious discernment is a scarce commodity. Ironically, the dearth of Reason is flagrant even among self-proclaimed “critical thinkers” whom one would expect to possess at…
On Death and Dying
In most cases, death is not an instantaneous event but a gradual, protracted process. The average person begins to biologically decline as soon as they enter their second decade of life. If you are therefore past your teenage years, you are presently dying. Three primary factors determine the pace of this process: physiology, psychology, and…
Alleged Contaminants in Popular Spring Water
A recent class-action lawsuit against Mountain Valley Spring Water (Nadel v. Primo Water Corporation, et al.) alleges the presence of contaminants, including arsenic, uranium, and bromoform, despite what the complaint terms “promises of exceptional purity.” Some bottled spring waters contain small amounts of arsenic and uranium because these minerals occur naturally in rocks and dissolve…

Perils and Pitfalls of Mainstream Veganism
Mainstream veganism promulgates practices that are often at odds with health. Below are several examples: Endorses excessively processed vegan convenience foods (contain textured vegetable protein, soy isolates, vegetable oils, refined flours, etc.). Advocates commercial oat milk formulations rife with rapeseed oil, glyphosate residues, and heavy metal (e.g., arsenic) contaminants. Downplays the dangers of synthetic agricultural…

Pervasive Protein Fortification of Packaged Foods
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…

Population, Procreation, and the Perils to People and Planet
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…

55 Questions People Recently Diagnosed with Cancer Should Ask Themselves
Do I consume ultra-processed foods regularly? Do I consume hydrogenated oils regularly? Do I consume conventional soy, corn, or wheat regularly? Do I consume processed meats (e.g., bacon, sausages) regularly? Do I consume dairy products from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) regularly? Do I consume grains grown in areas with high arsenic…

Health Is Not an End
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…
Slowing Down
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,…
I Voted
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…
How Stevia Became White
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…
Waste Products Disguised as Food
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.…
The Only Breads Safe for Consumption
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..
Understanding President Biden’s Cognitive Decline
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…

Root Canals
A root canal procedure permanently removes vital parts of the tooth, essentially leaving you with a lifeless organ in your mouth/body.
Raw vs. Cooked
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…
The Optimal Way to Eat
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.
How I Minimize Exposure to Microplastics
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.

Raw Meat
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).
The “Complete Protein” Myth
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.
Activated Charcoal: An Additional Detoxifying Organ
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.

Why You Should Never Get a Tattoo (And What to Do If You Already Have One)
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.

Healing Ulcers in Days With Cabbage Juice
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.

Never Do This When You Wake Up at Night
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.
6 Things to Start Doing to Mitigate the Health Risks of Modernity
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.

The Dangers of Non-Stick Cookware
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 Supplement I Carry Everywhere
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).
Seedless Watermelons
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.
How to Fix Your Adrenals
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.
Ascorbic Acid vs. True Vitamin C
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.
Biophotons: The Vital Life Force Energy
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.”..

Herbs That Help Neutralize SARS-CoV-2
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…

Herbs for Building Muscle
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…

Things to Do Before Conceiving a Child
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…
Ocular Health
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…
The Dangers of Smoking Marijuana
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…
Natural Immunity
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.
Bad Body Odor
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.
Overcoming Sleep Paralysis
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.
Eliminating Processed Food Cravings
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.

A Simple Pain-Relieving Technique
There is a very simple method that you can use to relieve yourself of discomfort and mild to moderate pain in no time.
A Simple Productivity Drink
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.
Reducing Inflammation
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.
How to Become Grounded
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.
Nothing Belongs to You
Accepting the ephemeral nature of existence and that nothing truly belongs to us is a powerful gateway to inner peace and liberation.
Why Most People are Full of Sh*t
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.
The Soy Controversy
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…
Fall Asleep Effortlessly
We all know that sleep is essential, but few are aware of how critical it is to our health. Growing up in a small town devoid of incessant noise pollution from car engines, motorcycle exhausts, sirens, horns, helicopters, airplanes, and loud music that most large city dwellers experience daily and have become used to, ubiquitous…
Life Purpose
Have you found your life’s purpose? If so—great, but if not, I suggest you stop stressing about it. Although the concept of incarnating into this world with a predestined “mission” goes back to time immemorial, the idea began being promulgated in the West in the 1970s during the budding of the New Age movement. The…
Procreation in the Present Predicament
There may never have been a more inauspicious time in the life of the average denizen of the modern world to bring offspring to this planet. The present global situation seems to sufficiently reinforce the central antinatalist argument that impugns the morality of procreation. Perhaps those willingly participating in unbridled propagation of children in these…
Skepticism vs. Suspicion
It is good to be a skeptic. Regularly questioning and doubting what we read and hear is normal and healthy. In fact, skepticism is an indispensable trait and a primary characteristic of critical thinking. There is a chasmic difference, however, between skepticism and suspicion. Undoubtedly, we all get suspicious at times, but some of us…
Guard Your Mind
At a time when a large portion of the population is voluntarily relinquishing control over their minds through habitual use of psychoactives that alter their state of consciousness, it’s crucial that you remain in charge of your cognitive processes. Naturally, there are plants of high therapeutic value that exert a potent effect on the mind.…
