My God, Dr. Mercola has another pertinent subject.😊

                                 

Linoleic Acid, Mitochondria, Gut Microbiome, and Metabolic Health — A Mechanistic Review

                                      He's speaking my language, "HEALTH",  above all else! 😉

Story at-a-glance

• Linoleic acid (LA), a fat found in vegetable oils, accumulates in your tissues and disrupts mitochondrial function, which drains your energy and slows your metabolism
• This fat becomes toxic when oxidized, producing harmful byproducts that damage DNA, enzymes, and the machinery your cells need to generate energy
• Excess LA damages your gut by interfering with colon cell metabolism, harming beneficial microbes, and promoting inflammation linked to insulin resistance and obesity
• LA’s half-life in body fat is about two years, meaning the damage builds up slowly and requires long-term dietary changes to reverse
• Cutting out vegetable oils, eating gut-repairing whole foods, and switching to stable fats like grass fed butter and tallow are key steps to restoring your metabolic health.

 

    

New NIH Leadership Aims 

to Restore the Public's Trust in Science

             Is This America's Last Chance to Fix Its Broken Health System?

Story at-a-glance

• Despite medical advances, American life expectancy remained flat from 2012 to 2019 while European countries improved, indicating failed health institutions
• Current research rewards individual fame and publication volume over collaboration, honesty about failures, and meaningful health breakthroughs
• About half of biomedical research findings cannot be replicated, undermining scientific reliability due to emphasis on incentives
• Lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine rollouts lacked scientific backing, created social division, and disproportionately harmed marginalized populations
• The NIH aims to rebuild public confidence through transparency, open collaboration, honest communication about uncertainties, and refocusing on quality research.
•  My analysis: We've been getting screwed and not loving it. This is sort of refreshing;. The necessary and welcomed pressure is being applied to the pharmaceutical establishment.

         BOWEL MOVEMENTS MADE EASILY

      Id like to open this topic to give you the background that made this all possible.

     It starts when Marcia and I were invited, by Sue, a very dear friend to take a trip to her homeland of Thailand.

     While there, her brother, who worked for a tour company was our tour guide😉

     We had a GREAT time, going to many of Thailand's highlights. The best was going to many places that weren't the typical tourist traps!

       We happened to out in a rural area We stopped at a busy country spot where people had items for sale. 

                                        THIS IS FROM WHERE MY STORY WAS BORN.

          I was having 'the URGE'. I was directed to the house, of the family that was sponsoring the event.

    We (Marcia and I) were escorted to a four by four wide and about six feet high box with a tiled floor which had a six inch hole in the center. The toilet was a BRAND NEW experience for us. 

           WE HAD TO SQUAT, not sit! Thank God!

     That is the whole secret, we have to SQUAT.😉

     When you assume the position described above, that's simply about SQUATTING😊

      I know that some of you are going to say, "I bet this is going to be a crappy subject!

      I have to remind you, when you talk with an old man, the subject about his BMs, always finishes his talk!

     Several months ago, I was in the bathroom doing mine. I found a system which has revolutionized the events!

     You sit, ERECTLY (very important), on the seat. SPREAD your legs apart (comfortably).

      Reach, with your hands, to find the front your knees, at the joint. You'll feel a slight indentation, That's the spot.😉

     Remember to sit as erect as you can (it's very IMPORTANT).

     Use mind control to focus on your bowel movement, as if you were having a rough time of it. Try to find the muscles that control the bowel movement. that might take a little practice; don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

      If you're doing it right, you should feel some bowel movement. (That's good., you're almost there. )

          Just as you can FEEL that you can (are starting one) have a BM, BRING your knees together, do it in as a smooth rapid move , while  continually PRESSING, that spot on your knees. Do it, so that you don't lose the momentum. This is a very IMPORTANT part.

     It will cleanse the gas and solids out of you, as if you were a rocket on a platform, BLASTING OFF!

     Another point that I noticed, if you didn't do a good job, you should hear a slight gurgling of your bowel, refilling,  Do it again.

                   Good Luck

     

   

                       ALASKA  AIRLINES RESERVATION

       I have just made our reservations for our yearly escape, from the       cold to California. 

     This year, I found out, the hard way, that Alaska Air is using an AI  program! I tried several times to get the phone number, they all failed.   I tried several searches to obtain it

            I was thrown into the world of AI !

     After an interchange of a few sentences, I noticed the lack of any understanding of personal humorous sarcasm! Liana, the operator was evidently having her period! 

     I even asked her if she was an AI operator. She basically jumped to a prerecorded statement, which basically said in a machined manner, that she's about to CLOSE the chat, unless I had something else!😒

     I finally was connected to a  LIVE representative. Stephany, was her name. She was  very pleasant and very much alive😏

     I had a fantastic time with a human lady, named Stephany.

   I gave her my blog URL and invited her to participate with us.😊

      Alaska Airlines phone number:  800-252-7522 😉

 

     

    

Lucky you, another post.😁 or 😏

     I've been looking at DMSO; it seems to be having a comeback.

Story at-a-glance

• DMSO is an "umbrella remedy" capable of treating a wide range of challenging ailments due to its combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and reviving dying cells)
• One of DMSO's unique properties is its ability to enter through the skin and carry anything it dissolves with it as it rapidly travels throughout the body, greatly enhancing the potency and viability of many pharmaceutical drugs
• Because of this, numerous pharmaceutical preparations over the years have combined DMSO with a commonly used drug, and in many cases, demonstrated significant safety and efficacy of the combination to drug regulators
• These DMSO combination therapies are able to treat challenging illnesses, such as significant musculoskeletal injuries, antibiotic resistant infections, persistent fungal and viral infections, chemotherapy resistant cancers, and chronic pain.

 

          GROUNDING or EARTHING

       This is an acknowledgment from a member of our Extended Family to an email the I sent the other day. I plan on doing a BLOG on that particular subject, some time. We've been at it for many decades, ever since the subject became public.

                           (This is her email; it was brief, however it speaks volumes.).

We appreciate grounding…thanks, Henry!

       I have several of these, for our beds. Ordinally, I  got involved in it about 12 years ago when I found a book, 'EARTHING , The most important  health Discovery  about it on  ' http://www.thriftbooks.com'. for about $5

. I made my own and my cost was $55. Since then I bought mine rom China, at a fraction of the cost.

      You NEED to look up the benefits of  'GROUNDING or EARTHING'  and save your health as well as your lifestyle.

     One thing that is deceiving with the add on FB is it gives you the idea that it's a a full bed sheet. NO way Jose! You will see the picture that has the grounding sheet across the center of it! Other than that little sales pitch it is a great bargain!

     The price is lower than the Chinese one . :)

Hint, if you know anything about grounding, you know that you don't need a full grounding sheet, which is very expensive $ That's why I made mine the way in the picture.  Theses are $29 on Amazon and I thought that it was a good price; in fact, I bought one a couple of years ago.

Reductive Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction The - Hidden Link in Chronic Disease

       Stress is a big factor when things go wrong. I've been taking Niacinamide for decades. To be honest, I never knew what it really did. 

DIVINE INTERVENION steps in when I don't know what causes good events to happen.

     It only applies to positive things. Negative things are usually caused by my stupidity!

Story at-a-glance

• My paper, published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, reveals how reductive stress is an early, hidden breakdown in mitochondrial function that leads to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic diseases, even if your blood tests look normal
• Overeating healthy or unhealthy fats and carbs overloads your mitochondria with excess NADH and FADH2, jamming energy production and triggering cell damage from within
• High-fat, low-carb diets that include vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid (LA) quietly worsen mitochondrial stress and reverse electron flow, increasing oxidative byproducts
• Reductive stress disrupts your body's natural antioxidant defenses, draining NADPH and stalling key enzymes that protect your cells from damage
• Targeted steps like eliminating vegetable oils and endocrine disruptors, taking low-dose niacinamide, testing redox ratios, and moving your body gently help restore energy production and metabolic flexibility
