KETONES vs GLUCOSE - 🤓 What is the history of the ketogenic diet for epilepsy? History: The ketogenic diet is a mainstream dietary therapy that was developed to reproduce the success and remove the limitations of the non-mainstream use of FASTING to treat epilepsy. Although popular in the 1920s and '30s, it was largely abandoned in favour of new anticonvulsant drugs. Reducing Carbohydrates to 50 grams per day, [avoiding starches/grains/fructose] and consuming Cruciferous vegetables for the liver and digest, which are rich in fiber, vitamins & minerals, especially POTASSIUM - as too are "Avocados.." Lemon-limes and "BERRIES" are the healthiest fruits --- as they lower blood-sugar, blood-pressure and INSULIN. Following this eating plan [16/8 hour daily eating window] decreases kidney/liver/pancreas and digestive STRESS and enhances certain hormones such as: • Thyroid Hormone • Growth Hormone • Glucagon • Adrenaline • ___________________ "..Running your body in KETONES.. *carbon-hydrogen-methylethyl="R2CO" ...greatly supports the BRAIN."

Many "medical professionals" don't really understand "Nutritional Ketosis" and most doctors don’t get training in nutrition or "alternatives." Yet, these are the people who get to control this information..?!! KETONES are actually "NEUROPROTECTIVE" - while on the other hand, "GLUCOSE" is dangerous and "TOXIC" [CANCER lives mostly on - SUGAR/INSULIN]. Besides for a lack of hygiene - Psychosis/Schizophrenia, can stem from an excess of "insulin/cortisol/adrenaline and malnutrition..." *Studies show: B1/B3/D3/Folate/Glycine.. Choose a "Food Based" Omega 3 from walnuts and/or *cod liver oil - iodine, from Alaskan sea kelp - as well as *B-vitamins, from *Brewer's yeast/Nutritional yeast--made from fermented mollases - sugar free! (always choose non-fortified w/out synthetic vitamins, fillers or harsh chemicals) all these, are powerful remedies for various psychiatric disorders.

-------------------------------------------------- Kick-start your Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting plan with these useful "tips and tricks..."
Tip #1 - Have MCT oil in your coffee every morning to reduce hunger and cravings. Start with one teaspoon.
• Tip #2 - Blend one whole lemon in water. This provides a boost of vitamin C and phytonutrients. Add Stevia/Monk fruit or electrolyte powder to enhance the flavor and nutrients.
  • Tip #3 - Have one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the afternoon. This helps improve insulin sensitivity and energy.
    • Tip #4 - Have a large salad before each meal to help you achieve 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day.
      • Tip #5 - Add non-fortified "nutritional yeast" flakes to your Tahini, salad and other foods to replenish your B vitamins, reduce stress and increase memory.
        • Tip #6 - Replenish electrolytes and B vitamins to prevent keto flu symptoms, since Keto "mimicks" fasting.
          • Tip #7 - Have 3 to 6 oz of protein per meal. You can have up to 8 oz if you exercise and have a great metabolism.
            • Tip #8 - Add additional fat to the end of your meal to increase your fasting window and reduce cravings.
              • Tip #9 - Increase the quality of your foods. Always choose organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, and wild-caught products—they contain more nutrients. Avoid processed foods.
                • Tip #10 - Use herbal tea to help you fast longer.
                  • Tip #11 - Don’t snack—especially after dinner and during your fasting window. Never keep snack foods in your home.
                    • Tip #12 - Get quality sleep. Poor sleep increases cortisol, hunger, and cravings. Exercise and sun exposure during the day will increase melatonin at night. Vitamin B1 and 10,000 IU of vitamin D will also help improve your sleep.
                      • Tip #13 - Replenish your electrolytes after exercise with sea salt, vegetables, and electrolyte powder.
                        • Tip #14 - Check all products for hidden ingredients, like unhealthy artificial sweeteners, sugar, maltodextrin, and carbs. Tip #15 - If your appetite is gone, you know it’s working.
                          • Tip #16 - Something is better than nothing. Do dirty keto and work your way up to Healthy Keto if you need.

                              What’s the difference between brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast? Yeast isn’t a bad thing—it’s a crucial part of your microbiome. But, if you kill off your friendly bacteria, you can get an overgrowth of yeast, which can be harmful. _____________________________________ The benefits of friendly yeast in the gut: • It helps defend against pathogens • It helps make glutathione (a powerful antioxidant) • It helps regulate cholesterol • It helps build immunity against certain pathogens • It may help increase breast milk production • It supports healthy blood sugar levels Both brewer’s yeast and nutritional yeast are inactive, so you won’t develop a yeast infection from consuming either one. Let’s look at nutritional yeast vs. brewer’s yeast. First off, brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast is typically grown on beet sugar, which is GMO. Nutritional yeast is typically grown on molasses, which has a lot of nutrition. Nutritional yeast is a product people take to enhance their nutrients. Brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast may have more protein, but nutritional yeast has more B vitamins. There are a lot of amazing health benefits of nutritional yeast, and the fact that it's rich in natural B vitamins is the main reason many people choose it. Be sure to avoid nutritional yeast that is fortified with synthetic B vitamins. This can lead to negative reactions in some people. Always get unfortified nutritional yeast. ____________
                              
                              Red Meat Of all the things needed for the repair or healing process, amino acids are among the most important. Red meat is more bioavailable and is a more concentrated source of amino acids than other types of protein. It also contains more iron, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin K, and omega-3 fatty acids than eggs. This doesn’t include processed meat from factory farms. It’s crucial to get high-quality grass-fed, grass-finished red meat. Red meat also contains four important additional nutrients for healing, repair, and recovery: 1. Carnitine 2. Creatine 3. Carnosine 4. Coenzyme Q10 People who have difficulty digesting red meat typically have low stomach acid. Even if you don’t like the taste of red meat, it may be because you have low stomach acid. Betaine hydrochloride may be beneficial to help strengthen your stomach acid. You can try taking three to five betaine hydrochloride supplements before a meal for about one month. However, if you tend to have excess iron, red meat may not be for you. Instead, you could try consuming more poultry or eggs. __________________________________________ HERBS for Maintaining Health of Organs. __________________________________________ BRAIN/ADRENALS = "Adaptogens" - Ashwagandha, Tribulus, Gingko biloba, Cayenne pepper, Ginseng, Rhodiola, Astragalus, Goji berry, Eleuthero, Suma root, kelp, Brahmi, Eucommia bark, Chinese Dodder/Yam seed, Rehmannia root, Damiana leaf, Dong Quai, Cinnamon bark, Rosemary...Adaptogens are 100 times better than caffeine, which has downer effects, if used everyday unlike adaptogens...

                              Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Labiatae) has been used in folk medicine to alleviate several diseases including headache, dysmenorrhea, stomachache, epilepsy, rheumatic pain, spasms, nervous agitation, improvement of memory, hysteria, depression, as well as physical and mental fatigue (5, 6). Today, rosemary is grown worldwide but it is an evergreen perennial shrub native to southern Europe and Asia especially Mediterranean region (7). Recently, noticeable scientific interest is focused on the beneficial therapeutic properties of different kinds of rosemary extracts and its main constituents, such as carnosic acid, carnosol, rosmarinic acid, etc. A large number of studies either on animal models or cultured cells indicate the wide range medicinal properties of rosemary and its compounds such as anti-inflammatory (8, 9), anti-oxidant (10), antinociceptive (11), neuroprotective (12), antidepressant, anti-hysteric, ameliorative of memory and mental fatigue............. There are indications that rosemary may be helpful in treating depression, epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and Parkinson’s disease. However, the evidence we have is based on studies done with mice.1 Inhaled rosemary oil (such as in aromatherapy), has shown promise in boosting mood, improving academic performance, and decreasing cortisol levels.1 One study found that rosemary powder enhanced memory in older adults.1 A small study found that taking rosemary capsules (300 milligrams dried rosemary leaves) was helpful in reducing withdrawal symptoms after stopping opium. Researchers hypothesized that rosemary may be helpful in managing other types of opioid withdrawal symptoms.1 There is evidence that topical rosemary application may be helpful for people who live with chronic pain. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The four bacteria commonly found in fecal matter are: Shigella, Campylobacter, Salmonella, E.

                              Detox: How to Remove Chemtrail Toxicity/Nanotechnology from your body: 1. Put a pinch of high vibe, nutritional sea salt, Redmond's real salt, bamboo salt, programmed with love, holding the intention of blocking nano proliferation, commanding the unbinding and the purging through feces and urine all nano particulates safely, without harm to your physiology, on your food and in your drinking water daily, each meal, each glass of water. Most important thing you can do! 2. Drink 1 ounce of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of water, 3 times a day. If that's too strong, make two cups of water. 3. Take 1/4 tsp of food grade aluminum free baking soda in freshly squeezed lemon water [not everyday]. 4. Take boron supplements as directed. 5. Take Activated Charcoal two to three times daily with plenty of water. It's a binder and it constipates. 6. Liquid Zeolite to pull heavy metals. 7. Take L Glutathione. Be gentle starting this for immune compromised folks. If you cant tolerate orally, take a capsule and insert vaginally or anally to let the amino acid get into your system and liver gently. 8. Foods high in natural L Glutathione is asparagus and globe artichokes. Bon appetite! 9. Golden Paste: Make and take golden paste three times a day. Google recipe. Make up. You can freeze extra. Great for inflammation, pain and so much more. 10. Golden Milk: Add golden paste to coconut milk, goat milk, raw cow milk, almond milk made at home. Add cinnamon, clove, cardamom, cayenne, whatever else you desire. Drink before bed. Inflammation buster. Mucous buster. 11. D3 with K2 daily. 12. Bentonite clay, take orally to extract toxins from bowels. 13. Take chlorophyll. Chlorella is now very contaminated as is spirulina. Chlorophyll is cleaner. 14. Take diatomaceous earth but start slow for weakened bodies especially people riddled with candida. A dusting on the pinky to make sure you can tolerate it. 15. Take oregano oil daily. 16. Take oil of cilantro. 17. Manuka honey. 18. Put 2-4 drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in 1 liter of water and drink. This oxygenates the blood killing pathogens. 19. Take a high grade magnesium or use magnesium oil transdermally. 20. Take a high grade trace mineral daily. 21. Use Illumodine Iodine and Nascent Iodine. Suggested dose is 3-5 drops in 16oz of water, after 7 days this dosage can be safely doubled to 6-10 drops per 16oz of water. 22. Essiac Tea treats cancer, fungi, heavy metals, toxicity 23. Liquid Silica removes all sorts of pathogens from the body 24. Tea tree oil, 1 drop in manuka honey 25. Structured Silver in Suspension. Suggested dose is 2-3 drops per 1 liter of water, 2 times per day. 26. Take MMS 27. Take Fulvic Acids 28. Use colloidal silver especially nasal spray. 29. CBD oil, high organic grade 30. Take food grade vitamin C daily. Moringa, also high in vitamin C. Tapioca is a great one from Pure Formulas. 31. Eat plenty of lemons and limes. Take the peels of all of the above. Dry. Grind in a coffee grinder with no coffee residue in it until powder. Put in a jar. Theres your perfect Vitamin C. 32. Water cleanse for 3 days. Just lemon in water or apple cider vinegar in water only for three days with trace minerals, sea salt. 33. Eat tons of sunchoke artichokes, organic. Wash. Grate. Add in freshly squeezed lemon juice and put in fridge, raw. Balances blood sugar levels and pulls radiation especially in this raw, predigested way. Eat at least 1 TBS before your meal or a small bowl between meals. 34. Eat beets. Wash. Grate. Add lemon freshly squeezed. Refrigerate. Put on salads. On the side of food. In between meals. This heals everything especially the blood, liver, gallbladder so you can detox. 35. Eat one to two raw clove of garlic daily. Eat whole. Do NOT chew. Let it dissolve in your stomach slowly. If you must cut to swallow, cut, let it rest 1 minute. Drink down. 36. Use cayenne on everything. I put on most foods. It cleans liver and bowels. Habenara too. Blood cleanser. 37. In the morning, before you do anything else, make lemon tea. _______________________________________________________________________________
                              
                              And God created man with many openings, Nekavim, are small openings [as in Ezekiel 28:13 - the work of your drums and your orifices is in you; on the day of your creation they were established..] And Halulim, are wide ones [like tunnels in the earth]... Chest muscles called mafteah HaLev, Key of the heart, through which our lungs situated above the heart can be healed by flexing them. We see from this that the key of the heart is like a key that passes oxygen into the body and to produce a pathway for carbon dioxide out of the body. Also, in the work "Otzar Eden HaGanuz" it's written: the formation of man and his features is a TESTIMONY OF THE CREATOR'S WISDOM. -Orhot Tzion, by Rav Ben Tzion Mutzafi (v. 1, pages 134-137 ch. 2) where he details the human body. {translation by yours truly} 😉 ------------------------
                              
                              
                              
                              
                              Sodium Potassium pump, responsible for Heart health, insulin, ear drums [hairs], Adrenaline and more...🤓 --Prehistoric diet ranges from 7000MG to 15000MG of potassium. Currently, the average male consumes about 3,026mg and women about 2,290mg of potassium per day. The RDA for potassium is 4,700mg. The body is very flexible with potassium, if it has too much, it gets rid of it and if it doesn’t have enough, it does retain it. The reason why our body needs potassium is because each cell has a sodium-potassium pump so it uses a lot of those minerals to create energy and to move things around in the body. The more important factor for potassium and sodium than the quantity of these minerals is the ratio. You need 4x potassium than sodium. See

(לרוב עד 30 גרם סה”כ ליום), הגוף מתחיל לנצל את השומן כאנרגיה עיקרית. תוצרי השומן נקראים “קיטונים” ומכאן מגיע השם התזונה. מצב מטבולי זה נקרא קטוזיס והוא יעיל יותר ממצב מטבולי תלוי גלוקוז בלבד. באופן טבעי תינוקות יונקים נמצאים בקיטוזיס, בזמן צום (גם צום לילה יכול להוביל לכך אצל אנשים מסוימים) ובעוד מצבי חיים שונים. יש לציין שעדיין בכל עת, הכבד מלבד ייצור קיטונים, מפיק לפי צורך של הגוף גלוקוז כך ששתי צורות האנרגיה משרתות אותנו תזונה קטוגנית מסייעת באופן משמעותי באיזון רמות הסוכר בדם והפרשת אינסולין ובשילוב עם קיטוזיס נוצרים יתרונות בריאותיים רבים כפי שיפורטו בהמשך. (הערה: העיניים, המוח, העור ומרבית אברי הגוף האחרים זקוקים לחומצות שומן אומגה-3 [שומן לא רווי] כדי לפעול כהלכה). גלוקוז הוא רעיל ומסרטן, מהלאה צריכים לחקור איזו מאכלים מעלים אינסולין ובאיזה רמה 🤓🧐
                              
                              ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Intracellular Testing: What is intracellular testing? An intracellular blood test is a laboratory test that measures something inside a red or white blood cell, as opposed to measuring something in the liquid surrounding the blood cells in which they are essentially floating. Blood tests are not accurate for revealing nutritional deficiencies. "HTMA" - (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test) or "Intracellular" tests can diagnose deficiencies. Spectracell Laboratories online does this type of testing https://spectracell.sitewrench.com/search-tests micronutrient blood tests that measure vitamins and minerals at the cellular level. *Gut problems [nutrient malabsorbtion] are severely connected to junk foods, gluten and grain consumption. The bread was cursed in the sin of Adam...But knowing which inner organs will fail first is a mystery til this day, even with advanced technology...~Hebrew oral tradition agrees 👍 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Healthy Dietary Fats were demonized and replaced with sugar and carbs back in the 50's by big pharma/sugar industry, based on 1 false study 😖 Even though fats are complicated, eating a fat-free diet is not good for your health. We need fats to survive. Every cell is made of fat. Our nerve coverings are made of fat. Our brain is mostly fat. Our hormones are made of fat. Our cells and metabolism run 5x's better on fat. Fat helps you absorb all of the beneficial fat-soluble vitamins in plant foods, and some fats have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Eat 3 to 5 servings of healthy fats per day, and eat fats mostly with vegetables. If you’re eating a high-fat diet and are curious about how it’s affecting your body, I recommend looking into the NMR particle-size cholesterol test.
                              
                              
                              
                              האם אתה יכול לקבל חסרים תזונתיים בתזונה דלת פחמימות? ברוב המקרים כנראה שההפך הוא הנכון. המזון הנצרך בתזונה דלת פחמימות מזין ביותר. לדוגמה, ביצים (מצרך עיקרי עבור אנשים רבים העוקבים אחרי תזונה דלת פחמימות) עשויות לספק את התזונה השלמה ביותר בהשוואה לכל מזון על פני כדור הארץ (25). קחו בחשבון שניתן ליצור עוף שלם מחומרי המזון שבתוך הביצה. אין שום דרך שהעוף יצוץ ויקבל כמה ויטמינים ומינרלים תוך כדי גידול בביצה; הכל צריך להיות שם. ועל ידי אכילת ביצים, אנו בני האדם מקבלים את כל אותם חומרים מזינים. בשר, דגים וירקות הם גם מזון מזין ביותר. ואנשים רבים שאוכלים פחמימות דלות נוטים להחליף פסטות, אורז ותפוחי אדמה תזונתיים בירקות המזינים יותר. מחקרים מראים שתזונה דלת פחמימות יכולה להיות מושלמת תזונתית (26). דגנים כמו חיטה עשירים בחומצה פיטית שיכולה להפחית את ספיגתם של מינרלים רבים (27). דאגה נוספת הנוגעת לתזונה דלת פחמימות הוא היעדר פרי, שנחשב לעיתים קרובות כנדרש לתזונה נכונה. זו אי הבנה עצובה. מלבד ויטמין C, ישנם מעט מאוד חומרים מזינים ברוב הפירות המודרניים. בימינו הפרות מהונדסים להיות גדולים ומתוקים מאוד. פירות הם בעצם סוכריות מהטבע, וכנראה שצריך לאכול אותם במתינות. מיץ הוא גרוע עוד יותר, בהתחשב בסוכר המרוכז ובמחסור בסיבים כדי להאט את הספיגה (29). מזון מהיר ומזון מהיר מודרני מכילים גם הרבה קלוריות ומעט חומרים מזינים (30) ומוצרים דלי שומן דלים בויטמינים מסיסים בשומנים חיוניים, שנמצאים בגירסאות של יוגורט עשיר שומן, גבינה ומזונות שלמים אחרים. בשורה התחתונה: מעבר מתזונה מערבית סטנדרטית לתזונה דלת פחמימות המבוססת על אוכל אמיתי, עשוי להגדיל משמעותית את כמות הוויטמינים והמינרלים שתקבלו מהתזונה. 5. האם תזונה דלת פחמימות יכולה להזיק לכליות שלך? מאוד לא סביר (33). אנשים רבים עדיין מאמינים שתזונה דלת פחמימות בהכרח עשירה מאוד בחלבון, שעלולה להכביד על הכליות. זהו מיתוס המבוסס על שתי אי הבנות: ראשית, דיאטה מעוצבת היטב דלת פחמימות הינה עשירה בשומן ולא בחלבון. כמות החלבון – כמו בשר – צריכה להיות מתונה, ממש כמו ברוב הדיאטות (34) אין יתרון באכילת כמויות גדולות של חלבון. זה אפילו יכול להזיק בתזונה דלת פחמימות, שכן ניתן להמיר עודף חלבון לגלוקוז, ממש כמו רוב הפחמימות התזונתיות (35). מכיוון שדיאטה דלת פחמימות לא צריכה להיות עשירה בחלבונים, כל ה”בעיה” שמאחורי המיתוס הזה פשוט לא קיימת. שנית, אנשים עם תפקוד כליה תקין יכולים להתמודד עם כמויות גבוהות של חלבון ללא שום בעיה בכליות (36). גם אם אנשים בוחרים לאכול חלבון ברמה מוגזמת, זו תהיה בעיה רק אם הכליות כבר פגומות באופן קשה. דוגמה לכך יכולה להיות מחלת כליות בשלב הסופי הקרובה לדרישה לדיאליזה. בעיקרון, אם יש לך מחלת כליות קשה ונאמר לך להגביל חלבון, עליך כמובן לעשות זאת (37) אך זה עדיין יאפשר לך לאכול בהצלחה דיאטה דלת פחמימות. לאנשים ללא מחלת כליות אין סיבה לדאוג מההשפעה של חלבון מוגזם על בריאות הכליות שלך. והכי חשוב, אין צורך שמישהו יאכל חלבון מוגזם בדיאטה דלת פחמימות מלכתחילה. בשורה התחתונה: תזונה דלת פחמימות מתאימה לכליות שלך.למעשה, על ידי הורדת סוכרים בדם מוגבה תזונה דלת פחמימות עשויה למעשה להגן על הכליות מאחת הגורמים הנפוצים ביותר לנזק. במיוחד עבור אנשים עם סוכרת, פחמימות נמוכות עשויות לעזור בהגנה על הכליות שלהם, על ידי סיוע בבקרת רמות הסוכר בדם (38). תוספי תזונה קטוגניים למרות שלא נדרשים תוספים בדיאטה הקיטוגנית, חלקם בהחלט יכולים להועיל. שמן MCT: נוסף למשקאות או ליוגורט, שמן MCT מספק אנרגיה ומסייע בהעלאת רמות הקטון. מינרלים: מלח ומינרלים אחרים יכולים להיות חשובים עקב שינויים במאזן המים והמינרלים בתחילת הדיאטה. קפאין: לקפאין יכולות להיות יתרונות לאנרגיה, אובדן שומן וביצועים. קטונים אקסוגניים: תוסף זה עשוי לעזור להעלות את רמות הקטון בגוף. קריאטין: קריאטין מספק יתרונות רבים לבריאות וביצועים. זה יכול לעזור אם אתם משלבים תזונה קטוגנית עם פעילות גופנית. תזונה קטוגנית נהדרת, אך לא עבור כולם תזונה קטוגנית יכולה להיות נהדרת עבור אנשים הסובלים מעודף משקל, סוכרתיים או מחפשים לשפר את בריאותם המטבולית.יתכן שהיא פחות תתאים לספורטאי עילית או לאלו שרוצים להוסיף כמויות גדולות של שריר או משקל. וכמו בכל דיאטה, זה יעבוד רק אם אתה עקבי ותדבק בה לטווח הארוך. עם זאת, מעטים הדברים המוכחים היטב בתזונה כמו היתרונות החזקים לבריאות וירידה במשקל במהלך דיאטה קיטוגנית. שאלות נפוצות להלן תשובות לכמה מהשאלות הנפוצות ביותר לגבי הדיאטה הקטוגנית האם אוכל לאכול שוב פחמימות? כן. עם זאת, חשוב להפחית באופן משמעותי את צריכת הפחמימות שלך בהתחלה. אחרי 2–3 החודשים הראשונים תוכלו לאכול פחמימות באירועים מיוחדים – פשוט חזרו לדיאטה מיד אחרי. תמיד ניתן לאכול פחמימות אך לא רצוי לחזור לתזונה עתירת סוכר. יש לקחת בחשבון שמי שמצוי בתזונה קטוגנית לאורך זמן לרוב ישפר את הרגישות לאינסולין ויתכן כי בעת צריכת מאכלים פחמימתיים אתם עלולים לחוות תופעות לא נעימות (כאבי ראש, כאבי בטן, שלשולים ועוד) מאחר הגוף אינו רגיל לכך. כמו כן, זה עלול לגרום לקושי לחזור לתזונה. לאחר שהזהרנו נציין שישנם אנשים אשר מצליחים מידי פעם לאכול פחמימות (באירועים משפחתיים וחגים) ולחזור במהירות לניצול שומן. זה תלוי ברקע האישי, בריאות מטבולית, משך זמן בתזונה, הורמונים, ועוד. האם אאבד מסת שריר? קיים סיכון לאבד קצת מסת שריר בכל דיאטה. עם זאת צריכת החלבון הגבוהה ורמות הקטון הגבוהות עשויות לסייע במזעור אובדן השרירים, במיוחד אם מרימים משקולות. האם אוכל לבנות מסת שריר בשימוש בתזונה קטוגנית? כן, אך יתכן שזה לא עובד בצורה יעילה כמו בתזונה עשירה בפחמימות. האם עלי להעמיס במזון או פחמימות?

                                • The typical treatments for bipolar disorder and OCD have a lot of potential side effects. But, these treatments work by manipulating neurotransmitters. What’s interesting is that the friendly microbes in your gut actually make neurotransmitters. If you have gut problems, your friendly microbes probably aren’t making enough neurotransmitters. People with bipolar disorder have a much higher incidence of gut inflammation. The best natural protocol for bipolar disorder and OCD: Fix any gut issues first: • Consume fermented foods with prebiotics and probiotics. Go on a low-carb ketogenic diet: • The carnivore version of keto may be beneficial for people with gut problems. Take fish oil: • I like cod liver oil because it contains vitamin D, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids or Alaskan, wild caught Salmon oil. Take B vitamins: • B1 and folate are very important. Nutritional yeast is a great source of natural B vitamins. Cut out grains, sugar, and grain oils: • It’s essential to support the friendly microbes in the gut and remove things from the diet that cause inflammation. A few additional options: • Lithium orotate (for bipolar disorder) • N-acetly cysteine NAC (for mania) • Hyperforin (for depression) • Glycine, 5 grams daily (for schizophrenia) • Niacin B3 (for schizophrenia) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eggs and Cholesterol: This is all from the conventional medical system and it’s inaccurate. Eggs are one of the healthiest foods out there just stick to organic pasture raised eggs. Cholesterol is not what causes heart disease. This has been a very big hoax for many years and they are making billions off of statin drugs. The statin drugs are making people very sick and meanwhile heart disease has skyrocketed. According to holistic medicine it’s the high sugar carb diets that are causing plaque to build up in the arteries. Conventional doctors don’t even understand how to look at cholesterol numbers. Cholesterol is not bad. In fact we need cholesterol for many diff functions in the body. If cholesterol numbers go too low it can actually be deadly. Very low cholesterol numbers is extremely unhealthy. The issue is high triglycerides because that indicates high sugar/ high insulin levels. Anything that lowers insulin will help to lower cholesterol. Lower sugar/carbs, increase fiber and potassium by adding a lot of vegetables into the diet, increase healthy saturated fats in the diet, exercise, lower stress, take supplements that lower insulin like Berberine, Hawthorn Berry, Artichoke extract, pantethine, alpha lipoic acid etc… Drinking one cup of Hibiscus tea every day is very effective in lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. It does have a slight diuretic effect so anyone on a diuretic should check with their doctor. There are plenty of natural supplements that work to lower cholesterol. There is no need to take a statin drug. Statin drugs have many dangerous side effects that have been making people very sick over time. Below is a list of side effects caused by statin drugs: 1) Raises sugar/insulin and puts you at risk for diabetes 2) liver damage 3) memory loss and dementia like symptoms - there are holistic doctors that believe that one of the reasons for the spike in Dementia and Alzheimer’s is due to statin drugs. Cholesterol is essential for brain function. 4) muscle damage and atrophy 5) Depletion of CoQ10 an essential nutrient for the muscles, heart and immune system. 6) lowers bile production which then causes issues with absorbing fats and fat soluble vitamins A,D,K and E. Issues with absorbing these vitamins can lead to osteoporosis and calcification in the arteries and joints. 7) increases risk for certain cancers _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cholesterol: We have been brainwashed to think that cholesterol is bad. Cholesterol is essential in the body for so many functions and the body itself produces cholesterol. Most of the cholesterol in the body is being produced by the liver and only a small amount is from the food. Cholesterol is needed for brain function, production of bile, production of hormones, building new tissue and repairing damaged old tissues etc… if cholesterol levels are too low it can cause a whole host of issues in the body and can even lead to death. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. even with the majority of people on statin drugs. Heart disease has actually skyrocketed since they started putting everyone on statin drugs. They have been lowering and lowering the numbers for acceptable cholesterol levels to the point that it is so low that it is unhealthy and killing people. min This whole cholesterol thing is a scam to make millions on statin drugs. It’s not the cholesterol that is the underlying cause for plaque in the arteries but the over consumption of sugar/carbs and the high insulin levels. When insulin levels are high Vitamin C automatically gets depleted. Low Vitamin C levels cause tears and lesions in the arteries which cholesterol comes to patch up. Cholesterol is like the fireman coming to put out the fire, it is not causing the fire. The “bad” cholesterol actually stems from over consumption of sugar/carbs. But not even all of this cholesterol is bad. Conventional doctors are not reading cholesterol levels properly. Dr. Berg has a video on how to read cholesterol levels properly in order to determine the risk for heart disease. I believe the video was already posted on the chat. In some cases if there is an issue with the liver and bile production it can cause high cholesterol levels. In those cases taking bile salts like TUDCA and digestive bitters can help bring up bile production and lower cholesterol levels.another thing that’s important to understand is that plaque only builds up in the arteries when there is inflammation in the arteries. If there would be no inflammation there would be no plaque. The inflammation usually stems from high sugar/high insulin levels and other inflammatory foods like vegetable oils. ______________________________________________________________________
                                  Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis is the new creation of glucose made by your liver. It's stimulated by a hormone called glucagon, and it's inhibited by a hormone called insulin. Insulin is triggered by glucose from the diet. Our body uses fat and protein to make glucose. Certain amino acids in protein turn into glucose, as does a component of fat which breaks down into glycerol, then converts to glucose. Your body can easily get the glucose it needs from fat and protein. You don’t need carbohydrates to supply glucose. Nearly all of the cells in your body can run on ketones except for certain cells in the eye, a small part of your brain, and your red blood cells. Through the process of gluconeogenesis, your body can supply these cells with glucose.
                                  
                                  Vegetable Oils [margarine]: The conventional medical system tells you to remove healthy saturated fats from the diet and instead use vegetable oils. Those vegetable oils are clogging up the arteries and the healthy fats would have helped to unclog the arteries. So in truth whatever you’re being told is the opposite of what you need to be doing to keep the heart healthy. Vegetable oils are poison and a major source of inflammation in the body. Inflammation always leads to disease. I’m going to post a message I posted on other groups in regards to vegetable oils bec I think it’s extremely important to understand the lies that we have been told for years. Vegetable oils /seed oils are the most toxic food you can include in your diet even worse than sugar. Vegetable oils contain high amounts of Omega 6 and are highly inflammatory. They will increase inflammation in the body. They are also highly processed and refined, highly unstable and oxidize and go rancid very quickly. The oxidation causes inflammation in the body. When they are heated or even left out in a bottle exposed to light they will degrade and oxidize. Heating vegetable oils is known to create oxidation and toxins. There is a chemical compound that is created when you heat unsaturated oils which can have a negative effect on the heart and can potentially increase the risk for cancer. Vegetable oils are processed to such a point where they become toxic to the body. The oils need to be chemically extracted with a solvent called hexane (highly toxic). The fluid that is extracted is not even an oil. It’s a grey, rancid, bad smelling fluid which needs to be refined in a 17 step process to make it edible. Some of these steps are desolventizing (removing hexane) with heat and steam, deodorize, bleached, degum, neutralize, winterize, Dewax etc… a lot of times even after all this processing the oil still has residue of hexane in it. Unsaturated oils are very unstable, and they oxidize easily, especially when heated. There are studies that show that vegetable oils increase your risk of death by 62%, increase risk for heart attacks by 86%, increase risk for cancer by 82%. Vegetable oils promote insulin resistance, elevated glucose levels, fatty liver and cause chronic and degenerative diseases. It’s best to avoid them at all cost. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
                                  The oils that should be avoided are: Soy oil, Corn oil, Canola oil, Cottonseed oil, Peanut oil, Sunflower oil, Safflower oil and Margarine... Sunflower, Safflower or Grape Seed oil might be okay for some in very small amounts as long as it’s cold pressed, but it’s not recommended [since Omega 6 increases inflammation]. The best oils to use when deep frying: 1. Coconut oil or palm oil 2. Tallow (fat from grass-fed beef) 3. Ghee [un-clarified butter] 4. Olive oil (keep below 400 degrees) 5. Avocado oil The above oils are more stable and won’t create the dangerous compound that unsaturated oils do. They won’t oxidize as fast, and they may be much safer when heated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  
                                  _________________________ Avoid Synthetic Vitamins or supplements made with harsh chemicals or fillers, such as silicone dioxide, Titanium dioxide [has been shown to cause - DNA damage, intestinal and kidney damage], Hydrogenated oils, “ascorbic acid” found in synthetic Vitamin C and Maltodextrin (from genetically modified corn), Synthetic Color is labelled with FD&C followed by a number - such as FD&C Yellow #6 --- this is so manufacturers can use cheap nasty fillers to give us bigger horse sized pills... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Synthetic vitamins and Antinutrients - such as phytic acid - block mineral absorption... IRON, copper, manganese... This is knowledge that stems from holistic medicine. There are sources for everything. If you understand how vitamins and minerals work then you understand how they interact with each other and how they deplete each other. I’ll just explain one of the items that I posted so you can understand where this information comes from. How do we know that synthetic Vitamin C depletes copper? We know this because natural Vitamin C comes in a complex of four - 3 vitamins and 1 mineral. The mineral in the Vitamin C complex is copper. Anytime you only consume one part of a vitamin complex you deplete the rest of the vitamins in the complex. So for example there are 8 B vitamins in the B complex. If you only consume one of those B vitamins you lower the rest of the B vitamins in the complex. Synthetic Vitamin C only has ascorbic acid which is the protective coating around the Vit C complex, it does not contain the other 3 vitamins and 1 mineral in the complex. Therefore synthetic Vit C actually depletes the other 3 vitamins and 1 mineral in the complex. Synthetic Vitamin C not only lowers copper levels but also lowers the natural Vit C levels. Same with Iron supplements, which should be taken in the form of a trace mineral complex [such as purified sea water, pure sea salt] - {Black currant seed oil is rich in iron and manganese...Olive oil, Eggs, Fish, Red Meat [especially liver], Sesame/Pumpkin seeds, Chickpeas, 100 grams of Tofu contains 5.4 mg out of the 18mg of daily iron requirement...' - *Spinach is high in "OXALATES" (500 grams per serving!) which can cause "gout" and "kidney stones", it should only be eaten within an hour of harvest --- Beans/Lentils are too starchy for Ketosis as they tend to procede 50 grams of carbs per serving}. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "With the sweat of your face you shall eat bread..." Can I include bread in my diet? [i personally consumed "sprouted spelt sourdough" bread, before discovering Keto's health benefits] Grains ------------------------- Bread [grain] was cursed by the primordial sin of man... - Genesis 3:19 writes: With the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, until you return to the ground, for you were taken therefrom, for dust you are, and to dust you will return." --- יט: בְּזֵעַ֤ת אַפֶּ֨יךָ֙ תֹּ֣אכַל לֶ֔חֶם עַ֤ד שֽׁוּבְךָ֙ אֶל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה כִּ֥י מִמֶּ֖נָּה לֻקָּ֑חְתָּ כִּֽי־עָפָ֣ר אַ֔תָּה וְאֶל־עָפָ֖ר תָּשֽׁוּב With the sweat of your face: After you toil with it very much. — [Mid. Tadshei, Otzar Midrashim] There are many alternative bread recipes that do not contain grains. Grain flour is bad in many ways that go far beyond being high on the glycemic index—gluten harms the colon lining, antinutrients like phytic acid block mineral absorption, and the reduction of nutrients in the milling process leaves you with a low-quality, high-carb product. The list of downsides to grains could go on and on. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ :חמשה דברים משיבים את הלימוד פת פחמין וכל שכן פחמין עצמן - (רש"י: פת האפוי בגחלים) והאוכל ביצה מגולגלת בלא מלח, והרגיל בשמן זית, והרגיל ביין ובשמים, והשותה מים של שיורי עיסה; ויש אומרים אף הטובל אצבעו במלח ואוכל _____ Five things restore one's learning (and sharpen one's mind) 1: Charcoal from bread, {=toxin binder} [partially baked "cookie dough" such as "falafel chunks," "sufganiyot," or "kubaneh" - reduce memory] 2.

                                  Maran Rabbeinu Ovadia Yosef ztz”l rules in accordance with the opinion of the Tosafot and other Poskim who write that one must take care not to leave eggs, garlic, or onion peeled overnight, for an Evil Spirit rests upon them. However, if they were left peeled and the night has already passed, they are not forbidden for consumption, for one may rely on the opinion of the Mordechi and Maharshal. However, this should preferably not be done, as we have written. 
                                  
                                  
                                  There is a way to rule completely leniently regarding this matter which is if the peeled onion or garlic was mixed with another food, such as in a salad or in a cooked food [or onion/garlic powder], for in this manner, no Evil Spirit rests on it whatsoever. The custom is indeed to rule leniently in this manner. Maran Rabbeinu zt”l indeed rules leniently in this way.

                                  The Gemara (Niddah 17a) states in the name of Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai...
                                  that if one does any one of five specific things, one takes his life into his own hands (meaning that one is endangering himself). One of these things is eating an egg, garlic, or onion that was left peeled all night. And the Poskim tell us that the reason why eating these foods left peeled overnight is dangerous is because an evil spirit which can cause much damage rests upon them. 
                                  
                                  ומבואר בדברי הפוסקים, שטעם הדבר שיש סכנה באכילת דברים אלו שנקלפו ועבר עליהם הלילה, הוא מפני ששורה עליהם רוח רעה שעלולה לגרום נזק. בגמרא במסכת נדה (דף יז.) אמר רבי שמעון בר יוחאי, חמישה דברים העושה אותם מתחייב בנפשו ודמו בראשו (כלומר שמביא את עצמו לידי סכנה), ואחד מהם, האוכל שום קלוף או בצל קלוף או ביצה קלופה שעבר עליהם הלילה

                                  The Gemara (Horayot 13b) states: "Our Sages taught: Five things cause one to forget the Torah one has learned: One who eats food which a cat or mouse have eaten from, one who eats the heart of an animal, one who eats olives regularly, one who drinks water which has been used for washing, and one who washes one's feet one on top of the other. Some say also one who places a vessel under one's head."
