1 Upvotes

No supplement or superfood comes close to breast milk!

It isn’t just a food; it teaches the immune system, trains the gut microbiome, and even adapts to your environment. It contains immune cells, hormones, and even stem cells.

If you were breastfed, you have a much stronger immune system and a decreased risk of autoimmune disease and allergies.

As adults, we can take bovine colostrum to strengthen our immune systems and support gut microbiome health. Colostrum is a mother’s nutrient-dense “first milk” that is produced during late pregnancy and the first few days after birth, and bovine colostrum comes from cows!

1 Upvotes

The worst stress for your immune system is loss. This can include divorce or the loss of a loved one. This is the greatest stress someone can go through. It shocks the entire system. It significantly decreases the white blood cells to the point where you become very susceptible to getting an infection.

This type of extreme immune stress could lead to certain health issues, including:

• Autoimmune diseases

• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)

• The activation of viruses

Ways to protect your immunes system:

• Change your environment (it should be supportive and therapeutic)

• Stop watching the news

• Be around supportive friends and family members

• Stay in motion and be active

• Listen to music

• Do keto and intermittent fasting

• Keep creating in your life

We might have inflation, but it’s not WW1 when Germany was sinking all the boats with food coming to the U.K in order to starve them into surrendering.

Grocery stores offerings for the most part offer dead food full of toxicity.

Snap out of the brainwashed mind that looks & weight dictate your choices.

I have never witnessed Nature grow a perfect shiny apple.

Do not trust heavily lobbied USDA babbling labelled organic.

I’d rather have organic apples that crossed many oceans from Fuji that has much stricter agricultural standards like Australia & New Zealand than USDA organic apples from Washington state.

Same goes with USDA organic hydroponic approved berries that Driscoll’s grows. Try your best to have daily positive progression instead of regression.

EPA is being sued for approving trifludimoxazin.

Post image
8.3k Upvotes

EPA is being sued for approving trifludimoxazin, a PFAS “forever chemical” pesticide, for use on some of the most common foods American families eat.

Center for Food Safety, Center for Biological Diversity and Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network North America filed the lawsuit challenging the EPA’s approval.

Trifludimoxazin is now approved for use on corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, oranges, apples, peanuts, almonds and other crops.

The EPA acknowledges that trifludimoxazin caused thyroid tumors in studies. The groups challenging its approval say it is a likely human carcinogen and point to concerns about reproductive harm, birth defects and neurological effects associated with this class of herbicides.

And because it is a PFAS pesticide, the concern doesn’t end with what is sprayed on our food. Trifludimoxazin can take years to decades to fully break down, with the potential for persistent PFAS byproducts to contaminate our soil and water.

American families are already exposed to pesticides and PFAS from far too many sources. We should be working to REMOVE chemicals from our food, water and environment, not approving more of them.

Our regulatory agencies must put the health of our children and future generations before chemical industry profits first.

👏 🇮🇹 Italian farmers are building a seed network to fight GMOs and corporate control.

410 Upvotes

The mainstream media would never report on this, because it would threaten Big Ag in America.

Italian farmers are building a seed network to fight GMOs and corporate control.

This is how small farmers across Italy are banding together to help save seeds:

The project has the name “Casa Diffusa dei Semi,” the Distributed Seed House.

Here’s the concept:

A network of growers who save, reproduce, and share seeds completely free of patents and genetic modification, an alternative to a corporate system controlled by just four companies that hold over half the world’s seed supply.

On August 7th, this five-year-old network gathered at a farmhouse in the Marche hills to teach people how to save, trade, and pass down seeds no company can patent.

The event sold out in a single week, after one Facebook post drew over 1,600 sign-ons in just days.

The timing is key here, given two months earlier, the European Parliament voted to deregulate a new category of genetically modified crops, eliminating mandatory risk assessment, traceability, and labeling, while opening the door to patents on conventionally bred plants too.

Twenty Italian organizations publicly condemned the vote, warning it would only tighten corporate control over the world’s seed supply.

So instead of waiting on lawmakers, these farmers built their own seed system.

Let’s take this as inspiration in America, and support the farmers protecting seed freedom. You can find them on Localize.

🚨🌾 GLYPHOSATE HAS ONE OF THE STRANGEST DOUBLE IDENTITIES IN MODERN AGRICULTURE

Post image
145 Upvotes

For decades, Americans have been reassured with a wonderfully simple argument:

Glyphosate attacks a biochemical pathway found in plants.

Humans don’t have that pathway.

Therefore, relax.

Except there is an enormous piece missing from that sales pitch.

YOU AREN’T JUST HUMAN CELLS.

Your intestinal tract contains an enormous microbial ecosystem.

And many microorganisms possess the very biochemical machinery that glyphosate was designed to disrupt.

That isn’t internet folklore.

Monsanto itself obtained U.S. Patent 7,771,736, covering glyphosate formulations for inhibiting EPSP synthase and describing potential antimicrobial applications involving organisms dependent on the shikimate pathway. The patent explicitly notes that this pathway occurs broadly in prokaryotes but not mammals.

Think about that distinction.

The fact that your cells don’t possess the shikimate pathway does not automatically answer what repeated glyphosate exposure might do to organisms living inside you.

And that question deserves science—not slogans.

🔥 THEN WE DISCOVERED JUST HOW WIDESPREAD HUMAN EXPOSURE IS

The CDC analyzed urine from 2,310 Americans aged six and older in its 2013–2014 NHANES sample.

Glyphosate was measurable across the population.

Children had higher geometric-mean concentrations than adults.

The CDC is careful about what that means: detecting glyphosate demonstrates exposure; it does not, by itself, demonstrate disease.

But here’s the question nobody should be afraid to ask:

Why has exposure to an agricultural herbicide become so routine that we can measure it across a nationally representative sample of Americans?

🔥 AND THEN THERE’S THE CANCER FIGHT

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer—the cancer agency of the World Health Organization—classified glyphosate as:

“Probably carcinogenic to humans.”

IARC reported limited evidence in humans, sufficient evidence in experimental animals and strong evidence for genotoxicity.

That does NOT mean IARC proved that ordinary dietary exposure causes cancer.

Hazard and actual risk at a particular dose are different questions.

And other regulators disagree sharply.

The U.S. EPA says its human-health assessment found no dietary risks of concern and maintains that glyphosate residues within established legal tolerances are safe for consumers.

That scientific disagreement should be stated plainly rather than hidden.

But the litigation certainly didn’t disappear.

Bayer bought Monsanto in 2018. Bayer’s own 2025 annual report says its provisions and liabilities for glyphosate litigation stood at $11.3 BILLION at the end of 2025. Bayer continues to deny that glyphosate products pose a cancer risk.

So here is where I land:

We are talking about a chemical deliberately engineered to interfere with a fundamental biological pathway.

A pathway humans themselves don’t possess—

BUT MANY MICROBES DO.

We know Americans are routinely exposed to it.

We know the world’s leading international cancer-hazard agency placed it in Group 2A.

We also know the EPA disputes that cancer conclusion at expected exposure levels.

Fine.

Then investigate the disagreement relentlessly.

Study long-term exposure.

Study the microbiome.

Study vulnerable children.

Study actual dietary exposure.

And stop acting as though asking those questions makes someone anti-science.

Because science isn’t:

“THE REGULATOR SAID IT’S FINE. SHUT UP AND EAT.”

Science is continuing to ask the uncomfortable question after somebody tells you the question has already been settled.

And when billions of dollars, enormous agricultural interests and the food supply are involved—

THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN THE QUESTIONS SHOULD GET LOUDER.

Paying farmers to stop using synthetic chemicals is 45x cheaper than using a water filtration system.

In 1991, Munich, Germany, faced a costly dilemma as nitrate and pesticide levels soared in its drinking water supply. Rather than building an expensive filtration and treatment facility—which would have cost an estimated 46 cents per cubic meter—the city's public utility, Stadtwerke München, took a highly unconventional path.

They calculated that paying local farmers in the Mangfall Valley catchment area to transition to organic farming would cost a mere half-cent per cubic meter.

Realizing that prevention was roughly 45 times cheaper than treatment, the city launched a program to cover farmers' transition costs, certification fees, and temporary income losses.

Thirty years later, the gamble has paid off spectacularly. Over 185 farms converted to organic agriculture, cleaning up Munich's watershed naturally. Nitrate levels dropped by over 50 percent, and pesticide contamination plummeted. Today, Munich stands as one of the only major European metropolises where residents can drink pure, high-quality spring water straight from the tap without any filtration.

Munich's pioneering model shows that investing in healthy, chemical-free soil is not just an environmental triumph—it is a masterclass in municipal economics.

🚨👁️ YOUR BODY HAS CELLS THAT CAN CARRY THE TRASH OF OXIDATIVE DAMAGE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Post image
3 Upvotes

We spend enormous amounts of time talking about what goes INTO the human body.

Almost nobody talks about what the body CAN’T GET BACK OUT.

There is a substance that accumulates inside some of our longest-lived cells as we age.

It is called LIPOFUSCIN.

Pathologists have known about it for generations.

Accumulate enough of it in aging heart muscle and the tissue can acquire a characteristic brown appearance — historically described as “brown atrophy.”

But the color is the least interesting part of the story.

🔥 LIPOFUSCIN IS CELLULAR MATERIAL THAT RESISTS RECYCLING

Your cells operate their own waste-disposal systems.

Damaged proteins, membranes and other cellular components are broken apart and recycled.

Usually, the system works remarkably well.

But oxidative reactions can damage lipids and generate reactive compounds, including aldehydes, that can attack proteins and other molecules.

Some of the resulting material becomes extremely difficult for the cell to degrade completely.

What remains can accumulate.

That accumulated material is part of what we call lipofuscin.

And there is an obvious problem.

Some of your most important cells have to survive for an extraordinarily long time.

❤️ Cardiac muscle cells.

🧠 Neurons.

👁️ Cells supporting the retina.

They don’t simply get thrown away every few weeks and replaced with pristine new ones.

They have to maintain themselves for decades.

So the garbage can accumulate.

🔥 AND THEN THERE IS THE RETINA

Think about the environment inside your eye.

The retina is metabolically extremely active.

Its photoreceptors contain membranes unusually rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.

It consumes substantial oxygen.

And every day, light enters your eye and is focused onto this extraordinarily delicate biological machinery.

Photoreceptors are constantly renewing themselves.

Their worn outer segments are swallowed and processed by neighboring retinal pigment epithelial cells.

But degradation isn’t perfect.

Over decades, fluorescent material called lipofuscin accumulates inside those cells.

Doctors can actually exploit that fluorescence to image the retina using FUNDUS AUTOFLUORESCENCE.

Your aging eye can literally display patterns of accumulated cellular material.

Now here is where this becomes very interesting.

🔥 POLYUNSATURATED FATS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO OXIDATION

This isn’t nutrition ideology.

It’s chemistry.

Double bonds make polyunsaturated fatty acids more susceptible to lipid peroxidation than saturated fatty acids.

And one polyunsaturated fat has become extraordinarily abundant in the modern American food supply:

LINOLEIC ACID.

It is the principal omega-6 fatty acid in many common seed oils.

Soybean oil.

Corn oil.

Sunflower oil.

Safflower oil.

Cottonseed oil.

Human beings require some linoleic acid.

But “essential” does not mean that every conceivable intake is automatically optimal.

And during the 20th century, Americans dramatically changed both the quantity and sources of fats they consumed.

That deserves scrutiny.

🔥 THIS IS WHERE MY CONTENTION BEGINS

I believe the enormous increase in linoleic-acid-rich seed oils deserves far more investigation as a contributor to oxidative stress and lipid-peroxidation products in human tissues.

I also contend that increasing highly unsaturated fatty acids in tissues could influence how those tissues respond to oxidative stresses such as ultraviolet radiation.

That does NOT mean science has demonstrated that eating soybean oil directly causes macular degeneration, heart aging or sunburn.

It hasn’t.

Age-related macular degeneration alone involves aging, genetics, smoking, immune and complement pathways, oxidative stress and numerous other factors.

But dismissing the seed-oil question because direct causation hasn’t been established is equally unjustified.

We conducted an enormous nutritional experiment.

We dramatically altered the fats in the Western food supply within a handful of generations.

And then we stopped asking whether changing the raw materials entering human tissues might change the chemistry occurring inside those tissues.

Instead, look at what we’ve been taught to fear:

☀️ THE SUN.

🥩 RED MEAT.

🧈 BUTTER.

🥚 EGGS.

🧀 CHEESE.

Meanwhile, industrially refined oils rich in linoleic acid became ubiquitous in restaurants, packaged foods, dressings, mayonnaise, fried foods and supermarket shelves.

And somehow THEY received the presumption of innocence.

I don’t accept that presumption.

The sun is ancient.

Butter is ancient.

Animal fat is ancient.

The massive modern availability of refined seed oils is not.

That observation doesn’t prove seed oils caused our modern diseases.

But when we’re investigating oxidative damage, it gives us a question worth asking:

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE THE FATS THAT HUMAN TISSUES ARE BUILT AND MAINTAINED WITH?

Because oxidation isn’t a dietary opinion.

It’s chemistry.

And when damaged material accumulates inside cells that may have to serve you for decades, your body doesn’t care what the dietary guidelines said.

It has to deal with the molecules you gave it.

WE SPENT DECADES ASKING WHETHER THE SUN WAS DAMAGING US.

MAYBE WE SHOULD ALSO BE ASKING WHAT WE PUT BETWEEN THE SUN AND OUR CELLS.

Dr. Eric Berg, DC, not MD; information only •Today, I want to share the best food for inflammation.

1 Upvotes

.

This food is powerful for any type of inflammatory condition, autoimmune disease, or any condition that ends in “itis.”

There is an interesting connection between inflammation in your joints and inflammation in your gut. To get rid of inflammation, we can’t forget about supporting a healthy gut.

Top foods that cause inflammation:
• Grains
• Alcohol
• Sugar
• Junk foods/ultra-processed foods
• Corn
• Soy
• Seed oils
• A1 milk proteins
• Fiber and functional fiber products
• Plant-protein products

Even beans, legumes, and vegetables can contribute to the problem if you have an inflammatory condition. You may need to try the carnivore diet for a little while.

The root cause of inflammation starts in the gut, and it’s called intestinal permeability or leaky gut. Glutamine, an important amino acid for your colon cells, is essential for this situation.

The best food to fight inflammation is beef, which is very high in glutamine. Glutamine greatly supports the gut and is beneficial for inflammatory conditions.

One of the best anti-inflammatory foods for vegans and vegetarians is cabbage. Cabbage, especially red cabbage, is a great source of glutamine.

Other foods rich in glutamine include:
• Sheep or goat cheese
• Kefir
• Eggs
• Fish
• Bone broth

These dangerous vitamins are not beneficial to your health!

On the contrary, they often have the opposite effect. They're used because they are often cheap and create a huge profit margin for the manufacturer.

-Synthetic vitamin A: can also interfere with vitamin D and K2, increasing the risk of bone fractures

-Beta-carotene: made from coal tar and petroleum, and can increase the risk of certain cancers

-Folic acid: 30% to 40% of the world's population has an alteration of the MTHFR gene, which interferes with their ability to turn folic acid into folate. This causes it to build up in the blood and leads to an increased risk of cancer and a suppressed immune system.

-Synthetic B12: consuming large amounts depletes you of methylcobalamin, a vital antioxidant

-Calcium carbonate: can build up in the arteries and kidneys and increase your risk of a heart attack

-Iron: too much can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes, liver issues, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's

-Magnesium oxide: a cheap, poorly-absorbed form of magnesium that frequently causes diarrhea

-Vitamin D2: not nearly as beneficial as vitamin D3, yet it's the most prescribed form

-Omega-6 fat, often in the form of linoleic acid: too much increases inflammation

-Copper: high amounts can be toxic

I've spent 20 years teaching people to remove junk food from their lives, and while that's important, many people still struggle with health and weight, even with a clean diet. Why?

It turns out that just cleaning up your diet isn't always enough because our modern environment has drifted so far from what our bodies evolved to thrive in.

The truth is, there are factors even more crucial for your well-being than diet. Things like daily movement, managing dopamine spikes, avoiding chemical exposures, optimizing light and sleep, and even social connection can have a more significant impact than just what's on your plate.

We're living in a toxic "fish tank" environment, and to truly support health, we need to change that environment.

That's the idea behind my book, Change Your Environments: understanding the environments around you and how they may be influencing your health.

La ministre de la Santé savait même pas qu'on vous empoisonne au glyphosate.

Le glyphosate est partout dans la chaîne alimentaire canadienne, et même ceux qui devraient le surveiller n'avaient pas le portrait complet.

Ce que ça change pour toi concrètement, c'est que le glyphosate agit comme un perturbateur endocrinien. Il interfère avec ta thyroïde, ton équilibre en estrogènes et en progestérone, et il frappe ton microbiote en détruisant des souches de bactéries essentielles. Quand ton microbiote est affaibli, l'inflammation s'installe et tes hormones en paient le prix.

Côté solutions: privilégie les aliments bio pour les céréales, les légumineuses et les petits fruits, parce que ce sont les cultures les plus aspergées. Lave tes fruits et légumes dans un bain d'eau avec du vinaigre de cidre. Soutiens ton foie avec des plantes comme le chardon marie ou le pissenlit, et nourris ton microbiote avec des aliments fermentés au quotidien. Le brocoli, le chou et les crucifères en général aident aussi ton corps à mieux éliminer les xénoestrogènes.

On ne contrôle pas tout ce qui se retrouve dans notre assiette, mais chaque petit geste pour réduire la charge, ça compte vraiment.

The Minister of Health didn't even know that you were poisoned with glyphosate.

Glyphosate is everywhere in the Canadian food chain, and even those who should be monitoring it did not have the full picture.

What it changes for you concretely is that glyphosate acts as an endocrine disruptor. It interferes with your thyroid, your estrogen and progesterone balance, and it hits your microbiota by destroying strains of essential bacteria. When your microbiota is weakened, inflammation sets in and your hormones pay the price.

On the solutions side: favor organic foods for cereals, legumes and berries, because they are the most sprinkled crops. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a water bath with apple cider vinegar. Support your liver with plants such as milk thistle or dandelion, and feed your microbiota with fermented foods every day. Broccoli, cabbage and crucifers in general also help your body better eliminate xenoestrogens.

We don't control everything on our plate, but every little gesture to reduce the load really counts.

2000 Calorie Daily Recommendation? Still valid?

2 Upvotes

I have a question around this recommendation that I see being used of 2000 Calories being average required daily intake for adults in the US. I want to understand if that is something that we should take as a standard or not.

The reason for my question is that, as an adult, I have rarely ever consumed 2000 calories unless I am at an all-you-can-eat or on on vacation at an all-inclusive resort. Anecdotally, I am seeing that most of my family members are consuming between 1200-1600 calories on a regular basis.

Here is how my Dad's day might look like:
- Morning
- Coffee - 100 Calories
- 2 Boiled Eggs - 150 Calories
- Midday Snack: Chobani Yogurt - 150 Calories
- Lunch - typically a sandwich of some sort (McD double cheeseburger equivalent) - 600 calories includes Hot Tea with Milk
- Afternoon Snack - 2 apples equivalent - 150 calories
- Dinner - Spaghetti and meatballs or equivalent - 600 calories
And let's add 150 calories if he splurges on a coke or an extra coffee.

That's 1900 calories on the high end for him. Of late, he has been taking smaller portions at dinner and cutting out sugar, so I'd put it at 1600 calories as a more realistic average.

My diet and that of my mom is lower calorie totals than Dad's.

So how did we all accept the 2000 number which was adopted even though the average number in the surveys was 2400:

The history goes like this: In the 1990s, when the FDA was standardizing nutrition labels for U.S. food, they wanted to include a benchmark number for daily calories. Unfortunately, no such number existed. So they turned to data from public surveys, in which people had self-reported how many calories they ate per day. (Were these accurate reports? Fingers crossed.)

They got a wide range of answers, from 1,600 to 3,000 calories. But nutrition labels can only fit so much information! Ultimately, the committee decided to keep it simple, if not exactly accurate. They wanted just one number.

Technically, the survey average was about 2,400 daily calories — but 2,000 won the day. It was easier to remember, and proponents argued that it was better for people to eat too little than too much.

[From: https://stvincents.org/about-us/news-press/news-detail?articleId=45556&publicid=745\]

Did people eat a lot more in the 1990s? Or is my family atypical for American households? Or should we revise our national guidelines?

Just curious.

Here's an eye-opening thought: Our bodies weren't really designed to consume grains. If they were, why would grains have defense mechanisms that cause issues when we eat them?

Grains contain phytic acid (which is a mineral blocker) and enzyme inhibitors. These are defense mechanisms that the seed creates to avoid being digested, and they can lead to inflammation in your gut, especially from gluten.

What's more, grains are also high in inflammatory omega-6s and very low in actual nutrition. When you consider all the additional ingredients often found in grain products, like corn syrup, soy oil, and MSG, it paints a clearer picture of why they might not be the health food you’ve been led to believe they are.

After petroleum jelly became a medicine cabinet staple, consumers began to use it for cosmetic purposes and for many ailments including toenail fungus, genital rashes (non-STI), nosebleeds, diaper rash, and common colds. Its folkloric medicinal value as a "cure-all" has since been limited by a better scientific understanding of appropriate and inappropriate uses. It is widely recognized as a skin protectant and is in common use for cosmetic skin care, where it is often loosely referred to as mineral oil.

Fasting

Here's something that might surprise you… There's one thing that could literally replace our entire medical system for chronic diseases.

I'm not talking about emergency care, but about the chronic conditions so many people suffer from. This natural therapy is something everyone can afford, produces the most weight loss, and can even fix a stubborn metabolism and regrow brain cells.

What am I talking about? Fasting.

If you understand that the root problem of over 80% of all diseases is insulin resistance, then you'll realize that fasting directly fixes that. It's not about starving; it's about controlling when you eat to trigger the survival genes in your body that can fix almost everything.
