Re: Olive Oil Health Benefits?
25 days agoGracie, How are you doing? Thank you for your response.
One month has gone by, and today I am positive that I have fully transitioned to lard.
I transitioned to lard shortly after one of my bottles of olive oil from Italy broke in a shopping bag, and after a messy clean-up that was an unpleasant experience.
I transitioned to lard shortly after I switched from Himalayan salt to refined a sea salt from Italy.
My last bottle of olive oil was Villa Chiara, Olio Extra Vergine Di Oliva from Firenze, Italia.
I transitioned to lard because I am not afraid of animal fats, saturated fats and cholesterol.
I enjoy butter and other animal fats, because I believe a high-fat diet is the secret to a healthy life.
I believe saturated fat is wrongly demonized when, actually, saturated fat is good for you.
Further, I believe saturated fat “does not clog the arteries”. Example: My arteries are 99% free of obstruction, after I have been eating at least 10 egg yolks per day, every day, since 2010.
Further, I transitioned to lard, because I believe cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease; in other words, cholesterol levels do not matter, and statins are not necessary at all.
I believe the greatest threat to our hearts and vascular systems comes from sugar -- not from cholesterol or saturated fat and animal fats like lard, meat, fish and cheese.
I transitioned from olive oil to lard, shortly after I found a lard product that tasted better than the previous lard product I tried before.
Sometimes I worry about dietary nitrates. But, in this case, it does not seem to be an issue, as the food label on this lard product says, "Ingredients: pork bacon" as its only ingredient.
Tonight I ate some of this lard with sardines, and it was a fully enjoyable meal. For flavor, I added to it only a few grains of refined sea salt.
I believe -- as opposed to olive oil -- lard, or butter, would be a better choice.
However, it is not easy -- is not it? -- to go against the advice of the WHO, and many other institutions and authority figures... and we somehow get persuaded to make many unnecessary olive oil purchases through clever advertising ploys.
Gracie, my question to you is, what do you think, have you derived any benefit from extra virgin olive oil? And if you are transitioning to lard, butter, or something, then how is that transition going?

No symptoms that we knew of. Here in the USA when you get to a certain age, you get a twice a year screening and blood work. If my uncle was having issues, he would never tell us out loud (suffer in silence). The reason we found out was thru this screening. His Dr. (I've know him since I was a kid) is pretty straight forward.
As for my uncle memory, he is 86 years old. He is losing it. And his wife (my aunt) she bat sh## crazy. So, no memory did not improve. I often ask him what was it like to live when there was no electricity, or how was the civil war? He gets mad at me when I tease him but at least he remembers those things so thats a plus.

26 days agoHi Madelyn,
I got the bimectin and took it for the first time 2 days ago. I got very dizzy and bleary eyed and couldn't really see straight. Has this ever happened to you? Not sure if it is a die-off effect or a side effect. It took another day for it to wear off. I'm not sure what to do now. Do you think I should decrease the dose? I'm just looking for your guidance as you use it for many things. I don't want to give up on it as I need a cure but I would be grateful if you could give me your suggestion as to the best way to proceed with this based on your experience.
Thank you.

Re: CT Scans
26 days agoWhen I went to the ER with abdomen pain, they did a full blood work up, EKG, CAT scan we requested an iodine tracer which is much safer. Avoid CAT scan if possible. The ER doctor's job is to run tests to eliminate the possibility that is something serious and life threatening. The doctor palpates the abdomen with their hands to check your organs to see where the pain is coming from which determines what test they will order. If the pain was only in one area, like for example the liver they can just do an ultrasound, but if the patient feels pain in different areas of the abdomen they will suggest CAT scan. Try to figure out where the pain is exactly coming from it will save you from unwanted tests. If they have no findings, then next step is seeing a Gastroenterologists ( GI doctor) . Who recommends a colonoscopy, endoscopy or the HIDA Scan which is where the patient is injected with radioactive tracer and it is followed to check the gallbladder, liver, and bile ducts to check for leakage and function. Request alternative safer tracer if possible. I decide to hold off on GI tests. I went to a chiropractor/ kinesiology having an open mind helps. Tested positive for candida overgrowth which was clogging and irritating the gallbladder ducts resuting in pain. This made sense because I was on antibiotics three months before. Anyhow, I was instructed to get on the anti-candida diet. Take 3 supplements Golden Thread on empty stomach twice or three times a day, Lauricidin ( which is basically monlaurin which is derived from coconut oil) BETA-TCP at meals (compounded beets) Took organic thyme oil per Eric Berg's videos and adapted his eating in a six hour window daily. Keeping a food diary helps and juicing helps. I'm well on my way to wellness

26 days agoTreat Liver & Gut for Teeth Issues
26 days agoI would like to throw my experience in the ring as well. I have tried everything with various tooth problems. The root cause has to be treated if you are having problems with your teeth. Problems or triggers come in 4 basic categories, Spiritual, Diet and mineral / vitamin deficiencies and imbalances, Toxins: chemical, biological and energetic (EMF and such), And then Psychological ie Emotional stress. We have to remember, one or more of these areas can be creating a break in the chain of good health. So we can take CS and it might give us a quick fix, but if the problem is chronic such as a root canal treated tooth, too much silver for too long can create an deficiency in other minerals such as copper. So I recommend referring to a mineral wheel for interactions whenever taking any minerals in excess. For tooth pain, you might want to try drinking Lemon juice made from the parts of the fruit everyone else tosses out. I toss out the acidic juice which is damaging to already weak teeth, and then I blend the rest in the blender with water. The peel, rind and seeds are where all the nutrients are. Problems with teeth and eyes are caused by liver and gut problems. Lemon helps rid the liver of fatty toxins with the lemon oil and other chemicals. I like the lemon because it gives quick pain relief due to its noninflammatory properties while the bitter chemicals have a strong antimicrobial effect and stimulate the liver to pump out bile and toxins (peristalsis). Anyhow fixing teeth is not a quick fix but rather a process and journey. Hope this helps point someone in the right direction.
Chinese Herbal Ointment for Psoriasis
26 days agoGood morning
In reading your post on psoriasis, I thought to mention a product that I have been using.
Although it treats my psoriasis within 6-8 weeks, new spots appear in different areas of my body. Ugh!
The product, which I purchase on Amazon is called Qicaogangmn Caoben Yijun Rugan.
It is a cream. You can look into the ingredients and perhaps find it useful in coming up with your own concoction??
I had my former dermatologist who is Asian look at the ingredients to make certain there were no steriods in it. He concluded there were not.
Good luck

Re: Ginger, Honey, Garlic Remedy for Cancer
27 days ago@ Anthony
There is no specific weight on the ginger root, it does not come in standard size, so I just eyeball it. I peel and chop enuff ginger root to fit inside 1/2 of a one quart mason jar. Add 6oz garlic cloves peeled (since that's the standard size of the all ready peeled baggies bought in grocery stores), and then put all of it thru the mini salsa chopper. Add it all back to the mason jar a layer at a time and adding honey layer. When it gets to within 2 inches of the top, I used a butter knife to mix it all up in the jar.
Whatever un-peeled ginger you have left over will be used for the next batch.
Also, since making this, I found a mice cancer study involving garlic that reaffirmed my decision to add garlic to the recipe.
Garlic taken for 21 days CURED Cancer
A novel therapeutic anticancer property of raw garlic extract via injection but not ingestion
Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-018-0122-x
Prior studies suggest a possibility that the anticancer property of garlic is more effective only when exposed directly to cancer cells than absorbed first by the normal epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract wall. We tested this possibility in two mouse models of highly aggressive malignancies that cannot yet be cured by conventional therapies: sarcoma 180- and EL4-induced lethal ascites. Daily oral gavages of raw garlic extract (RGE; equivalent to 100 mg wet weight) for 21 days failed to offer any meaningful effect in the mice with malignancies. However, the daily injection of the same amounts of the same materials for 21 days completely cured all the mice of cancer.
Another study:
Ginger Root contains a pungent compound that could be up to 10,000 times more effective than conventional chemotherapy in targeting the cancer stem cells at the root of cancer malignancy.
Numerous studies are confirming that ginger extract has anti-metastatic properties that inhibit many types of cancer, including breast, colon, rectal, liver, lung, prostate, pancreatic, and melanoma.

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/41747.php
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2241638/
The anticancer properties of ginger have been found to activate molecular mechanisms that cause cell apoptosis (cell suicide) in cancer cells by activating a pro-apoptosis gene. Compounds within ginger also down-regulate the genes and proteins associated with cancer while increasing cancer inhibitors.
A new study published in PLoS reveals a pungent component within ginger known as 6-shogaol is superior to conventional chemotherapy in targeting the root cause of breast cancer malignancy: namely, the breast-cancer stem cells. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=6-shogaol
Here is the reason why I blended the two together.
My Uncle (86) was consuming this mixture when ever he remembered. His memory isn't the greatest, but I'm sure it was between meals. Just remember I had him eat it for 4 months straight til I felt confident we had burned the cancer out of his body. His blood work revealed he was not showing any protein markers for leukemia.
Funny side note: The doctor ask my uncle ‘what did you do'? My uncle responded, I'm not sure… you will have to ask my nephew...lol! Still waiting for that phone call….
