Why Your Sodium to Potassium Ratio Is Important

Posted by on Aug 3, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Why Your Sodium to Potassium Ratio Is Important

Salt has long been vilified as a risk factor for heart, kidney and other chronic diseases. And the medical dogma to limit your salt intake to protect your health runs deep. But it’s not that simple. There are different types of salt — some healthy, some not. Your body requires healthy salt to function properly. If you get too little, you’ll increase your risk of heart problems, not lower it.1 The other part of the equation is potassium, a naturally occurring mineral your body uses as an electrolyte. It, too, is vital for optimal...

Hall of Shame: Targeting the Kids

Posted by on Aug 3, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Hall of Shame: Targeting the Kids

Out of all elements of the not-so-great reset, one of the hardest thing to bear is what is being done to the kids. Kids in Masks I am in New York. I still see kids casually walking around in masks. Masks are kind of “normal” to wear nowadays where I am at. Personally, I believe that the maddening push for masks has to do with grooming us all for smart face tech. I have been thinking that since 2020, and I still think that. Our aspiring masters are trying to kill two birds with one stone: one the one hand, they want trick us into...

Aspartame Effects Show Up in Offspring 2 Generations Later

Posted by on Aug 2, 2023 in Dr. Becker | Comments Off on Aspartame Effects Show Up in Offspring 2 Generations Later

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved aspartame in 1981, and it’s now found in close to 5,000 food and beverage products.1 Adults, children and pregnant women around the globe consume so much aspartame that 3,000 to 5,000 metric tons are produced every year.2 Many believe they’re doing their health a favor by swapping out sugar for artificial sweeteners, but the opposite is true. Aspartame not only has harmful effects on its immediate consumer but also on multiple generations thereafter.3 The shocking findings add yet another reason...

Report Predicts Next Pandemic Will Come From Meat

Posted by on Aug 2, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Report Predicts Next Pandemic Will Come From Meat

The same people who went out of their way to convince us that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through natural evolution in the wild were privately saying they were convinced it came from a lab. Now, were SARS-CoV-2 to be publicly acknowledged to be a genetically engineered lab-escape, the obvious conclusion would be that we need to shut down much of the gain-of-function research that led to its creation. Needless to say, that would be a significant setback for the biosecurity agenda, which needs pandemics to justify the centralization of power and...

Vaccination in the Wild

Posted by on Aug 1, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Vaccination in the Wild

Black-footed ferrets are among the most endangered species in the world. Found only in North America’s central grasslands, these carnivorous rodents are largely dependent on prairie dogs for food. But with prairie dogs decimated by sylvatic plague and, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, “an agricultural industry with little tolerance for burrowing and grazing rodents,” their numbers reached a low point of just 18 individuals remaining in the wild.1 “With...

Are You Throwing Out This Nutrient-Filled Food?

Posted by on Jul 31, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Are You Throwing Out This Nutrient-Filled Food?

Parsley is a popular garnish in Western cultures and a frequent ingredient in European and Middle Eastern foods. Although you may have tossed it aside as a garnish, this tasty herb packs a powerful nutritional punch. There are two main varieties of parsley. The curly leaf parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is sometimes called French parsley and the flat leaf (Petroselinum crispum neapolitanum) is also known as Italian parsley.1 Both varieties are nutrient-rich and flavorful. The one you choose for your cooking or salad depends on the flavor...

Dr. Mercola Interviews Dr. Karen Becker

Posted by on Jul 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Dr. Mercola Interviews Dr. Karen Becker

Dr. Karen Becker in my view is the best integrative veterinarian out there. What you’ll notice first is the striking artwork behind her in the video. The art is a photomicrograph of the minerals in her precious pets that have passed on. The breathtaking artwork is created from the cremated remains of some of her companion animals. “So, it’s interesting that you can actually get a hint of an animal’s health and wellness status by looking at mineral composition, even in death,” Dr. Becker says. “They do a beautiful job of helping...

Why KAATSU Is a Fitness Game Changer

Posted by on Jul 30, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Why KAATSU Is a Fitness Game Changer

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, which I perceive to be the greatest innovation in exercise training in the last century, was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato in 1966. There, it’s known as KAATSU, which means “additional pressure.” KAATSU was brought to the U.S. just over a decade ago by Steven Munatones, after he completed a 13-year mentorship by Sato. In summary, BFR involves partially obstructing blood flow to your extremities while exercising. This intermittent hypoxia generates an increase in...

Treasure Trove of Damning Evidence Surrounding COVID Origin

Posted by on Jul 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Treasure Trove of Damning Evidence Surrounding COVID Origin

According to a July 12, 2023, article by Ryan Grim published by The Intercept,1 U.S. House Republicans investigating the origin of COVID-19 “appear to have inadvertently released a trove of new documents … that shed light on deliberations among the scientists who drafted a key paper in February and March of 2020.” The paper in question is “The Proximal Origin of Sars-Cov-2,”2 a letter to the editor of Nature Medicine published March 17, 2020. This letter ended up being widely cited by the media as evidence of a scientific consensus that...

Affirmative Action in Medicine

Posted by on Jul 29, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Affirmative Action in Medicine

Diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) is an immensely controversial subject. I believe this controversy has arisen since people have strong reasons to support either side of the argument and because it is being forced upon us by both the government and multinational corporations. For example, ESG scores have been used as a metric to calculate the social value of corporations, and a vital component of an ESG score is the company’s commitment to advancing diversity both within the company and in society. Since ESG scores are used by many...

Posted by on Jul 28, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on The Wide-Ranging Health Benefits of Taurine

The amino acid taurine is found in animal foods such as seafood, grass-fed red meat, dairy products, pastured eggs, and poultry. Of the amino acids, it’s the most abundant source of sulfur, and is required for a wide range of physiological processes, including the healthy function of your immune system, nervous system,1,2 metabolism and digestion.3 As noted in a 2021 scientific review titled “The Role of Taurine in Mitochondrial Health: More Than Just an Antioxidant”:4 “Taurine is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid that is...

Elon Musk Puts Brakes on CISA Censorship

Posted by on Jul 28, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on Elon Musk Puts Brakes on CISA Censorship

July 1, 2023, Elon Musk announced new limits to the number of Twitter posts users could view in a day. The number varied by user, with verified accounts initially able to read 6,000 posts a day, unverified accounts 600 posts a day and new unverified accounts 300 per day.1 The number has fluctuated since, increasing to 10,000, 1,000 and 500, respectively,2 but the sentiment is the same. Gone are the days where unlimited post viewing was possible — at least temporarily. While much pushback has ensued from users, there’s a reason why this move...

July 13, 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank suddenly informed me they are closing all of my business accounts, both banking and investment accounts, along with the personal accounts of my CEO, my CFO and their respective spouses and children. No reason for the decision was given, other than there was “unexpected activity” on an unspecified account. The oldest of these accounts has been active for 18 years. Politically-Motivated Harassment This is what the new social credit system looks like, and what every soul on the planet can expect...

How to Deal With Grief: Yes, There Is Light

Posted by on Jul 27, 2023 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on How to Deal With Grief: Yes, There Is Light

Freedom Under Attack One of the things that is driving a lot of people crazy right now is the ease with which our inalienable freedoms are being taken away. It seems unfathomable and insane. We’ve believed so naively in our hearts that due to our great luck of living in the West, we can move around as we please and say what we think. But now? Now, suddenly, we find ourselves in a place where we are just like the folks in other parts of the world where people have no meaningful rights. And our hearts scream, why is being done to us, why?!! We...
