      "body": "Over the years I have compiled a symposium, a repository if you will, an archive of tidbits, connections and whacky (but true) stories detailing how and why the American healthcare system has become what it is currently: a catastrophic failure costing nearly a trillion dollars annually and delivering possibly the unhealthiest population in history.\n\nI mean that. Really, when has there been a society where nearly 90% of the citizenry is overweight, 40% are obese and rising, type II diabetes is on the rise along with essentially every preventable lifestyle disease in the book including mental disorders, all while a single entity, the pharmaceutical global cartels have managed to scrape hundreds of billions of dollars out of the very people it claims to this day to serve?\n\nIts a travesty of justice, and worse yet, it is [normalized](https://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/is-fat-the-new-normal#1). People that are unhealthily overweight now often times consider this normal and even healthy. And we wonder why more and more people are sick and on life-leeching medications. \n\n\"I'm overweight and pre-diabetic, but other than that I'm pretty healthy.\" \n\nThat's a phrase I've heard many times. No, you're not healthy. You're on the verge of insulin resistance and you're carrying around extra dead weight that taxes your cardiovascular system, organs as well as damages your joints prematurely. \n\nSo where did this chicanery start? Why is the wool over so many people's eyes? \n\n## Meet the Rockefellers.\n\nYou can't throw a stone without hitting a Rockefeller foundation operative these days, and with healthcare this is *certainly* no different. \n\nIts interesting to note that William Rockefeller was actually the person for whom the term \"snake oil salesman\" was coined, and he later was instrumental in hijacking the AMA and the medical system which now refers to \"alternative\" treatments as snake oil. Oh the irony.\n\nIn the late 1800's into the early 1900's, most health practitioners were focusing primarily on [natural healing techniques](https://meridianhealthclinic.com/how-rockefeller-created-the-business-of-western-medicine/) like holistic health and nutrition.  In the meantime, Standard oil, run by the psychopathic tycoons the Rockefellers, was eager to extend its conglomerate into other arenas. They fixed their eyes on medicine. Through the invention of petroleum based medicine, which we now simply call \"drugs\", the Rockefellers found a nice niche and decided to throw their money at it of which they were unmatched.\n\nFor an in depth look at Rockefeller medicine check out the Corbett documentary here...\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/X6J_7PvWoMw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nThe [flexner report](https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2012/647896/) of 1910 paved the way for a revamping of medical schools and had the good intention of attempting to standardize medical schooling in America. Instead, it was pounced on by the Rockefeller foundation and other cronies and led the way to what was essentially the hijacking of medical schooling by the Rockefeller cartel. \n\nThe immensely wealthy family began to throw millions at the most prestigious medical schools in the country. Again, at the time, nutritional and holistic therapies were the most popular forms of treatment for disease. The Rockefeller family proceeded to install chairmen at these schools to \"oversee\" these schools, and there was a catch: the schools had to start teaching solely allopathic medicine to doctors or else that funding was going to disappear. The rest of medical schooling is history and this is where we are today.\n\n## American Murder Association\n\n![AMAslider.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/teqOZpA5-AMA-slider.jpg)\n\nIts important to note that the American Medical Association is a sort of doctor's union to represent and protect doctor's interests. Of course this only applies if you teach allopathic and drug based medicine which never cures any disease and is designed to create lifelong customers for profits.\n\nThe Rockefeller foundation of course was funding this association as far back as 1910 and essentially owned it. To this day the AMA continues to disavow what they consider to be \"pseduoscientific remedies\" which is anything that doesn't involve drugging, maiming, harming and even killing patients by the millions. Its a sort of gatekeeper which deters osteopaths, naturopaths and any sort of holistic practitioner. \n\nThe medical cartels in this country run much like the mafia, as do most multibillion dollar industries which use immense funding and influence to lobby the government to get their wishes granted and to stifle any competition; that competition being anyone that actually heals someone and thus cuts off profit supply chains, which must be kept moving and expanding constantly in our for-profit healthcare system.\n\nSo in terms of the mob, the AMA is like a form of enforcer that seeks to wreck the reputation and downplay any competition. And of course they were essentially funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.\n\n## Rockefeller Tentacles\n\nThe Rockefeller foundation has its fingers in every pie imaginable and also provided the funding for the World Health Organization who's sole purpose appears to be selling experimental vaccinations to be tested on third-world countries.\n\nCurrently the Rockefeller foundation is at the helm of the [national covid-19 action plan](https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/national-covid-19-testing-action-plan/) which should come to no surprise as it will reap immense profits through the jabbing of nasal swabs deep into the sinus cavities of hundreds of millions of people and of course someone has to make those tests and thus someone is making a lot of money, and unsurprisingly the Rockefeller \"philanthropists\" as they call themselves are one of them.\n\nSee, this is the way psychopaths work. They can never get enough money, and they don't care who gets pummeled along the way as long as there's a huge bottom line at the end. There is simply never enough money to be had, and that is what happens when you are a greedy, power hungry group of self-appointed specialists and \"heroes\" even though nobody ever elected them to do so.\n\nThe Rockefeller Foundation started up the [General Education Board](https://rockfound.rockarch.org/general_education_board) which became the Dept. of Education in the United States. It seems that oil, drugs and medical monopolies were not enough for this vampiric entity. So now we know that they controlled what kids are learning and funded a hefty $1,000,000 to its inception in the early 1900's.\n\nThe Rockefeller Foundation has been involved and is still involved in literally endless escapades spanning every science and subject one could think of. Take the time to use the link above to navigate the site for yourself and listen to these \"philanthropists\" (psychopaths) gloat about how much they have helped humanity. What they really did was take complete control of the oil industry, pretend to have it broken down by anti-trust laws which literally just split it into several companies still owned by the same company. They destroyed natural health movements and led to a catastrophic failure known as mainstream medicine which continues to bankrupt, harm and generally kill innumerable people through countless drugs, mostly oil based, throughout the last several decades. They funded and therefore heavily controlled the entire education and schooling system resulting in the government indoctrination centers that pass as schools today, churning out millions of mindless, ignorant and programmed youth created simply to be cheap labor and to serve the military. \n\nAnd that is just a small taste of how the healthcare system in the U.S. was systematically taken over by a money spewing monopolistic parasite known as the Rockefeller Foundation, and so those wondering why there are no natural cures ever touted by the government, the AMA or the mainstream media apparatus, well, there is just a short synopsis of your answer.",

Not because I'm a sick individual, but I have been an independent researcher and writer for some time, especially in the realms of health and wellness...so I could tell that this was going to be an overblown pile of malarkey. I figured the media blitz would float over pretty quickly then we'd be on to the next manufactured crisis that the mainstream media seems to just adore. Hell, its the only thing keeping them afloat these days for the most part: fear mongering click-bait that preys on the emotions of millions to try and milk a unique visitor and some ad revenue.\n\nBut as time propelled on and I saw my city of Denver first shut down slowly, and now systematically destroyed in every regard, it came to appear that we are in this for the long haul, and most people are not putting up much resistance. \n\nI realized that this was the **soul test**, perhaps the biggest one of everyone alive today. Things are not going back to normal and us as the masses are all out of sorts, divided and seemingly being conquered.\n\n![censorship.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/Zm84rhYA-censorship.jpg)\n\nI can be a bit of a conundrum to people at times. I'm a natural introvert...I really don't mind being alone, which is why I'm not totally falling apart over here after not being able to meet new people. But I am a self-taught extrovert through network marketing...there was a time that I would talk to literally dozens or hundreds of random people, on the street, *per day* promoting my business. This definitely taught me to be comfortable in groups, and it helped me with public speaking, which I did at our location for nutrition regularly.\n\nOne thing I definitely noticed was that I was getting angry. Angry that stores were slowly trying to force me to wear what I consider an insulting and useless face covering, even though I have literally zero worries about getting sick from other people, and I'm certainly aware that I'm not carrying \"asymptomatic virus\" symptoms...in fact I find the asymptomatic carrier idea laughable. \n\nSo slowly I was forced to go out less and less. Then, the gym, the last bastion where we didn't have to wear a mask, finally caved in to the public pressure and forced that during workouts so I am quitting my membership there as well. Restaurants require masks indoors, and most of the small businesses are simply closing down. Over the past several months things have only gotten worse and worse, all because of what I consider a diabolical media apparatus that seemingly is run by complete buffoons that don't have an original thought in their heads.\n\n![landscape1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/9LWxjGKf-landscape1.jpg)\n\nBut as people are starting to realize that the world is now forever changed and many rights and activities that should be considered part of our God-given rights, such as freely travelling around the globe and even locally, opening businesses and just being able to lift a weight without an oxygen depleting mask, I think that a small minority (probably the people that are on #hive) are seeing that we're going to have to go *inside* to cultivate happiness, at least for the time being. \n\nI can't just sit here angry at an outside world that I'm pretty powerless to change. Not that I don't want to do my part to enlighten people and help them as much as I can. But as the old saying goes\n\n\"The door to the soul opens inward\"\n\nSee we're moving into a new phase, one that I think many people on this platform already are dabbling in. How many people do you know that are actually even aware that sites like this, generating cryptocurrencies and actually *paying* the writer or content producer, actually exist? \n\nMost people, and I hate to sound gloating, but we can be honest here...simply can't fathom what's coming down the pipeline. There are still a lot of people that are sitting by collecting government stimulus checks, ordering fast food, watching Netflix and thinking naively that things are just going to go back to normal. They aren't.\n\nI for one will not be working at any establishment requiring a mask, which is basically everyone in the U.S. Luckily for us, we have things like Hive, even Steemit and other crypto sites, as well as independent and remote ways to generate an income working from the comfort of home, or even on the road! It is a nice thought to be able to choose where we can go but not have to worry about fitting into the slave-cult society that is unraveling before us. Living in Denver I can still go hiking and camping and enjoy the outdoors, without wearing a slave-mask and without a pesky government goon squad badgering my every move (at least for now). \n\nSo the **soul test** is who can find out happiness during these times and grow spiritually. Becoming grief stricken and paralyzed and freezing up, even doing things that go against our own gift that we have to give the world, or sitting around pouting is just not a viable answer and is the path of the slave in my eyes.  Even if you're someone that works at a store and has to wear one of these muzzles you can still cultivate inner peace...but unfortunately it seems like this is going to be the normal for a lot of people. Once hyperinflation hits here in the U.S. people will be back to struggling just to pay the rent or mortgage once again.  And I don't think its a fool's errand to expect that these despicable measures aren't going to stop at masks, or face plates or whatever other lunatic ordinance gets thrown our way. We all know the vaccine and the immunity and health passports are en route.\n\n## Non-Compliance\n\nPart of this test will be who can break compliance. Fighting a war with the government and the psychopaths at the helm is not a viable solution. Violence is not the solution. But simply detaching from the system can cultivate a new one that I think people on here could appreciate. For instance I haven't bee to a doctor in over ten years, so I'm not putting any money into that system. If people start using cryptocurrency we can change the financial system. If people simply refuse the vaccination when it becomes mandatory, then businesses would be forced to open up. What are airlines going to do when nobody shows up vaccinated? Simply kick everyone off the plane? They'd have to adjust to the society...which would be led by us.  Obviously turning off the news would be a great start as well, and dish rags like CNN would natural evaporate to nothing, although probably not without a fight.\n\nThe only reason that this fiasco has gone on for so long is because so many people simply comply. The mask laws...what are businesses going to do if literally everyone just shows up without a mask on? Kick everyone out and go out of business? Unlikely. Maybe we could even manage to convince the brute-squad police to actually join up with the people instead of the government tyranny.\n\nI think the main idea is that we need leaders that are willing to just break the compliance, and then other people will look over and see us doing it. It really wouldn't take that many people. For instance at the grocery store the other day I was literally the only person in the store without a mask on out of at least a hundred...people looked me sort of wryly. Imagine if a group of twenty showed up without a covering.  \n\nIt doesn't have to just be masks. Spread the crypto sites like #hive far and wide and we can grow the platform like crazy. Drag people out of the cesspools of twitter and facebook and into a site that actually has useful information and discussion.  I think a lot of us say these things, but how many actually do it? I'll admit I still hold onto facebook with some fragmented hope that I can change a mind on there. That's a pipe dream. \n\nIn the end its going to be up to the individual. Its been said that this is the **apocolypse** and most people still don't understand that its not the end of the world, its the *lifting of the veil*. Obviously this veil has been lifted, or more like ripped off. Normal life, and a lot of the useless minutia accompanying it...the propaganda, the distractions, the things that do nothing to foster growth of any sort; now its time to finally cut the fat off and create a feeling of peace and harmony, when things seem like they couldn't possibly get worse. Like Viktor Frankl wrote:\n\n![0121851_viktorfranklaheroforthehopeless 1.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/zPFGoO9C-0121851_viktor-frankl-a-hero-for-the-hopeless201.jpeg)\n\nThe last thing that these power-hungry entities that think that they have all the power want is alt-tech groups of inspired and coagulated individuals all working to buck and skirt the system that they have in place. That's the reason for the social distancing, the \"safer at home\" nonsense and the quarantining and separation of people from each other. Its a demoralizing of the public...we are the enemy. The freedom fighters and the ones that expose these plots and show off alternative ideas for health and wellness, or financial success, or anything that would enable us to truly be free. That's why they hate bitcoin, they demonize alternative news platforms and they shit on natural health practitioners of every ilk. \n\nIts a battle of good and evil. Evil is the globalist control grid, the smart grid and the transhuman agendas like the vaccines and the \"health passport\". As if any human being needs these artificial boosters for natural health. Everything we need is available for health and wellness whether its good natural food, supplements, herbs, plants, meditation or anything else that is provided naturally. \n\nThe more people do wake up, the more people are going to be present in the new world that *we* will create. Not them. We. They can have their distractions and robotic ways of living and genetically modified vaccines and whatever other dehumanizing acts of grotesqueness they can conjure up in their sick and pathetic little minds. We can pass the soul test and grow stronger in this world or realm or whatever you call it. Hologram, matrix, whatever it is.\n\nWe can cultivate the inner strength and then help others do the same. After all, what else would be the point of us being here anyway?",

      "title": "Vicarious / Secondary detoxification of the body",
      "body": "I've actually written a few articles on this in the past. The idea of secondary detoxification which I consider a crucial component to assessing whether or not your health is in some way compromised. \n\nSecondary and / or vicarious detoxification is when your body's four major pathways for natural detoxing are in some way suppressed or even worse, overburdened!\n\nThis idea of secondary detoxification could explain all sorts of minor sickness, especially **viruses** which obviously the world is very concerned with at the moment.  \n\n![168417.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/R0IsZEBT-168417.jpg)\n\n\n\nMore on how viruses actually work and are created later.\n\nThe above mentioned book by Dr. Henry Bieler, who I admittedly don't know much about except for the book itself, was one of the biggest game changers to my outlook on how most disease itself is a symptom of detoxification of the body. Even though he operated in the early 1900's his ideas are extremely useful today...but this information is sadly still missed by many healthcare professionals.\n\nHe is the only doctor, or author for that matter, that I have ever heard use the term **vicarious detoxification** which simply put is the body shifting detoxification duties from the **four primary pathways** which are the liver, kidneys (urine), digestive tract (biles) and of course our largest organ: the skin.\n\nWhen these pathways are clogged in various ways, the body shifts to removing toxins through **secondary and less efficient pathways** such as through mucus in the lungs and sinuses, extreme sweating, and even through thyroid issues. \n\nNormally, your body is detoxified in a \"normal\" way. You go to the bathroom, you exhale and breath out toxins, and you exercise which produces sweat and removes more toxins. Of course the liver this whole time is operating smoothly.\n\nOur lifestyles have created very toxic internal environments. Pharmaceuticals, rampant antibiotics, cleaning chemicals, poor food and drinking water are just a few of the many things that insult a healthy body. For this reason many people experience **secondary detoxification** which again is the body getting rid of things in abnormal and inefficient ways. Runny nose, coughing up phlegm, even blotchy and unhealthy skin can all be ways that your body gets rid of toxins. \n\n![liverfunction1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/kMLYYG1Q-liver-function1.png) \n*image courtesy of http://www.biosciencenotes.com/functions-of-liver/*\n\nIt can be difficult to determine exactly which pathways are malfunctioning and the best bet would be to read Dr. Bieler's book if you're looking for some self diagnois. But the best bet is to follow simple guidelines such as these:\n\n1) Drink plenty of clean water and other healthy liquids such as **beet juice** and **cranberry** juice. Buy a good water filter like a *Berkey* so that you're limiting the toxins that come naturally in drinking water. Tap water in the United States is flooded with pesticides, pharmaceuticals, parasites and more.\n\n2) Get outside in the sun, getting plenty of vitamin D stimulating sunshine, exercise and break a sweat. There is no coincidence that during the winter months when people are wearing more skin-covering clothing, getting less sunlight on their body and not sweating as much that things like *cold season* happen. A cold is a symptom of vicarious detoxification through the mucus!\n\n3) A healthy diet is a must, not just to make sure that you get enough vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more but avoid ingesting artificial sweeteners, rancid fats, massive amounts of sugars as well as all the other chemicals that are in our food. Eating healthy is a double pronged attack. It reduces toxic load and gives vital nutrition.\n\n4) Practice mindfulness activities. Meditation is of course a useful tool, but just belly breathing and paying attention to your breath goes a long way. Mental nutrition is just as important as physical...perhaps even more so. The mind is very important.\n\n## One last thing on viruses\n\nI said I had some thoughts on viruses and they fit in perfectly well with the idea of vicarious detoxification. I firmly believe that the idea of viruses as we are told by mainstream medicine is false. I do not think these are primarily toxins that are \"alive\" and \"spread\" from person to person. Instead they are identical to [exosomes](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6187740/) and I believe are created naturally by [toxic cells](https://www.exosome-rna.com/is-covid-19-virus-an-exosome/).\n\n![j_ejnm20150005_fig_002.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/dasnotyA-j_ejnm-2015-0005_fig_002.jpg) *exosomes*\n\nWe already know that the body as a whole needs to detoxify, but let's not forget that each individual cell is like a fractal picture of the entire body. Each cell is like a small city, and like cities they create pollution in different forms. The cells themselves have to detoxify. Exosomes may be the way that they do this. They start as *endosomes* (intracellular) and then are transported through the cell wall, where they become *exosomes*.  These particles are essentially identical to viruses.\n\nIn fact, if you google image exosomes you will find plenty of actual microscopic images to choose from. Viruses on the other hand? You get a lot of cartoons. This is typical of the medical system...which loves to use \"models\" but rarely can deliver the goods in terms of actual footage. Dr. John Kaufman, recently deleted off Youtube (what a surprise) explains this idea in fine detail.\n\nCould it be that these particles are actually acting like garbage trucks, transporting different debris from toxic cells to be removed through the body via...detoxification pathways? Wouldn't it make sense that since the Western person is infinitely more toxic in every way than much of the world, that there would be more incidences of toxic insults that result in vicarious detoxification i.e. cold / flu like symptoms? Symptoms that are now being used as a smokescreen known as Covid-19?\n\nRegardless of what people think about this idea, and lord knows most doctors would scoff at it, it is still fairly common knowledge, or at least it should be, that we are in the most control of our bodies in terms of health, and that we should do everything we can to limit our intake of toxic chemicals while ensuring that we get the nutrition that we need and keep our physical, mental and even spiritual environments clean?",

      "title": "Different sugars and their various properties and uses!",
      "body": "We often hear the word sugar just thrown around. Usually its something like \"avoid too much sugar\" which is actually a pretty good guideline for most people to follow.  But, did you know there are many different types of sugars, some of which can be beneficial and some which are terrible...and even some that our body can't digest?\n\n![ManyTypesofSugar.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/Wwba7tff-Many-Types-of-Sugar.jpg)\n\n## Mono-sacchardies, di-saccharides and more\n\nThe most common sugars that most people are aware of are **glucose** and **fructose**. Glucose being a mono-saccharide means that it is the simplest form of sugar; it is the most easily absorbed through the digestive tract. It is used for fuel in different cells and even is stored in muscle cells for fast acting fuel! Our brain also uses glucose as a source of energy. \n\nFructose is another monosaccharide, yet it is not absorbed as quickly in the body. For this reason, it is actually quite useful for people with glucose metabolism problems such as diabetics. This is main sugar found in natural fruits and vegetables. It has uses in sports drinks as well, since it is mixed with glucose, the athlete will get some quick energy (glucose) and some more sustained energy (fructose).  \n\nThen there is **sucrose** which is also common table sugar. It is a disaccharide meaning it is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose linked together. Despite common belief it is also found in many foods...but is well known to be in processed products. \n\nAdd on top of that we have **lactose** (milk sugar) and even the lesser known **galactose** which is combined with glucose to create lactose.  \n\nIt is important from a health perspective to know the basics of these different sugars because they can be used strategically for sports performance.  For instance, obviously if you are sitting around watching t.v. then you do not need lots of \"quick\" energy like simple sugars. Your body won't need them and will store them through triglycerides as fat cells. \n\n![fatcell1.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/pjdf0q8q-fat-cell1.gif) \n*image courtesty of Howstuffworks.com*\n\n## The fake stuff\n\nHere's where it gets interesting. I think most people have heard of artificial sweeters such as **sucralose** or **saccharin**.  These became very popular back in the day when medical frauds such as Ancel Keys demonized fat and the \"low fat diet\" paradigm came into being, to our collective chagrin as it is a horrible idea. But I digress.\n\nArtificial sweeteners, while they carry \"zero calories\" are actually still sugars...our body just lacks the digestive enzymes to break them down. So the theory was that since we couldn't absorb them, they wouldn't add to calorie load and would serve as a good substitute to real sugars. \n\nNothing could be further from the truth.\n\nThe thing is, they trick the body hormonally. Here's how it works, very simply:\n\nWhen you consume a sugar, any sugar, or an artificial sweetener, the enzymes in the mouth and the taste buds send signals that tell your body to dump blood sugar. This is a normal response to avoid **hyperglycemia** which is too much sugar in the blood. The body dumps the blood sugar, or should I say stores in as fat, in anticipation of the new inflow of sugars. This works ok for natural sugars like fructose, lactose and glucose. They are fairly quickly absorbed so the blood sugar returns to normal.\n\nThe thing about artificial sugars is that the body does the same thing, only it can't digest these sweeteners. But the insulin response, which tells your body to store sugar and is the major cause of diabetes by creating insulin resistance in cells, is still present. So, you can still become insulin resistant with artificial sweeteners, and on top of that you *can't use them for fuel*. So you get the negative effect on the blood, but no fuel source. \n\nLots of people fell for the hype of things like \"diet coke\" or \"coke zero\" and thought that since there are no \"calories\" so to speak that they could just drink them with impunity. But the bad effects of all that sugar are still there. They've been implicated in many diseases...the same [diseases that are caused by too much real sugar](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/07/170717091043.htm#:~:text=Artificial%20sweeteners%20may%20be%20associated,according%20to%20a%20new%20study.&text=Consumption%20of%20artificial%20sweeteners%2C%20such,sucralose%2C%20is%20widespread%20and%20increasing.) \n\nFrankly, people have been tricked and many people consume far too many artificial sweeteners.  On top of that, things that cannot be absorbed tend to have consequences [in the gut](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/03/artificial-sweeteners-are-toxic-to-digestive-gut-bacteria-study.html#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20study%20published,digestive%20gut%20microbes%20of%20mice.). \n\n## What does processing do to sugars?\n\nThere are many tribes that have been known to [chew on raw sugarcane for energy](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4441162/). Yet they may not show any sort of the health problems of the obese Western culture. Why?\n\nIts important first to understand that the word \"processing\" in terms of food merely means changing its environment. Many things can sap nutrients from natural sugar containing foods like fruit, vegetables and especially sugarcane...a major source of common sugars.\n\nIf you freeze food, you process it. If you heat it, you process it. If you break an egg into a pan...you are processing it. If you blend food, you are processing it. If you take food out of the fridge and let it thaw, you are processing it. If you beat food to a pulp, you are processing it! \n\nThe common forms of \"processing\" that we refer to are the industrial type and this is where the demon-form of sugar, **high fructose corn syrup** comes in!\n\nWhen high fructose corn syrup is created, which creates an unnatural conglomerate of approximately 55% fructose and 45% glucose, there is heavy processing using high pressure, heat, and even bleaching agents. These natural sugars, which are also bound to natural forms of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, are pummeled into submission and this intense processing removes or destroys all of the health benefits of natural sugars. This is why eating a fruit is far healthier than consuming a soda. On paper, the soda is just glucose and fructose...both of which are found naturally in foods. So what gives?\n\nIndustrial processing strips all nutrition and leaves the final product a nutrient devoid mutant that is simply pure sugar with zero health benefits. Our body's don't like that...and since it is so prevalent and created to satisfy taste, it causes all sorts of problems like obesity, heart disease, elevated tryglicerides, brain problems...and even **glycation** which is when sugars bind abnormally to random cells in the body, causing oxidative damage and created more mutant proteins and cells. That's why high fructose corn syrup is so deadly. It brings all the detriments of too much sugar, without any of the natural health benefits. Its literally an empty calorie poison that should be avoided at all cost. \n\nIts important to note in terms of processing that even TCM, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, involving grinding herbs, roots and other nutrients into a bowl...is still processing!\n\n## So which do I need?\n\nLike talked about at the beginning of this article, different times and energy needs require different sugars. To be honest, things like keto, with very low sugar, are effective...but not exactly practical in the West...especially with athletes.\n\nSimple sugars such as galactose, fructose and glucose should be consumed around times of physical exertion...whether its working out, hiking, or even doing some gardening.  These activities will ensure that not only is the quick energy being used like its supposed to, but the work itself, especially weight bearing activity, will tend to reverse the insulin resistance by consuming sugars. However, there is never a time where a soda, which can have up to 72 grams of HFCS is useful. Not only are you not getting the natural health benefits but you simply never need that much sugar. \n\nBut sports drinks...high quality sports drinks that is, not glorified sodas such as Gatorade (which started out great until Coca Cola bought it and hijacked it) are useful for providing quick fuel. After all, fat is a great fuel but it is not exactly a fast acting fuel. There is a time for sugar.\n\nFructose is useful for low intensity exercise, where the slower-absorbing properties of this sugar will come in handy. For very high intensity exercise like extreme hiking or sprinting or sports, some glucose will not hurt!\n\n## Conclusion\n\nAll sugars are not created equal. They have different properties and depending on the source different nutrient profiles. Pure sugarcane is vastly different than high fructose corn syrup. Fructose in lower doses is not the same as a crappy product with 30 grams of fructose. This is all advertising and consumer creating drivel. The more sugar is packed into something the sweeter it tastes and the more humans will like it, period! This has caused quite the schism in health where few people know how much of what they actually need. Ten grams of fructose won't hurt...but fifty grams is far too much!\n\nFor more of these nutrition tips follow my account, I'm here to educate people about how to use food and supplementation for maximum efficency.\n\nNamastay Healthy!",

      "body": "![bookjhb.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/kpS0Btl7-bookjhb.jpg)\n\nLet me be clear here to start, that I am not talking about doing research, finding alternative and independent sources and the like. I think you know what I'm talking about when I say \"the news\".  I mean those talking heads that read teleprompters while a banner scrolls across the bottom of the screen blaring every horrible thing that is happening or could happen to you in the near future.\n\nCNN. FOX. NBC. NPR. CBS. BBC.\n\nThe ones that are all owned by the same big six companies, the ones that dominate the sphere of information that slides around inside of the average person's brain like a broken piece of plastic in a cheap toy.\n\n![news.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/1SHqM0Cl-news.jpg)\nImage courtesy of https://filmanddigitalmedia.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/politicizing-creativity/\n\nI get why people watch it, and why I myself occasionally choose to take a bleak look at these atrocities.  They are engineered, and quite skillfully so, to capture our attention and cause a dopamine hit. \n\nWhenever our brains get something that seems important, like the news pretends to be, our brains act like we just got something good. Like candy. Or a beer. The dopamine drips. And it keeps people coming back for more and more.\n\n## What is it really good for? What does it do for ME?\n\nI asked myself this question quite recently after scanning through the New York Times; the once valiant assayer of truth and objectivity. Now, nothing more than a glorified piece of toilet paper.  Except when you wipe your butt with the New York Times, it leaves its filthy residue on your rectum, a sort of stamp of approval. \n\nDisgusting.\n\nWhen I asked myself this, I came to the tantalizing realization: it does absolutely nothing. I don't feel good, I feel bad and anxious. I don't feel informed, I feel violated and abused. It leaves a nasty taste in the mouth...and for the next hour or so I'm in a bad mood. It filters into other aspects of life. And I don't even get a fact. \n\nI get a hit piece. Maybe a doom-and-gloom story. Someone got stabbed. Someone is a racist...hell everyone is a racist according to the NYT. \n\nThe world will end. The fictitious coronavirus pandemic is coming to my front door. Thousands more cases reported already...thousands more...and more...never mind the science or facts. That is verboten in the news. The news does not rely on information that is useful it only relies on inciting fear and hostility. Hate your neighbor, fear your neighbor. Fear everything. Don't go outside.\n\n\"You're safer at home\" they say. Hell, I know that. I'm even safer in my bed with the covers drawn tight, a bottle of hand sanitizer and tissues to quench the tears lying on the bedside table. I'm even safer if I put a bag over my head and pull the straps tight. Death is more safe than life, you know?\n\nThe news is propaganda pure and simple...I have known this for so long that I forget that it is not common knowledge. Some people, maybe even most people, read this drivel and then think that is what the real world is like outside their window.\n\n![window.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/qrBMXJxX-window.jpg)\n\nPhoto by <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/@hambourine?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" class=\"keychainify-checked\">Hamish Duncan</a> on <a href=\"https://unsplash.com/s/photos/looking-out-window?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" class=\"keychainify-checked\">Unsplash</a></span>\n\nWe are a society that thinks we need to know everything going on. And then, because we got a half-assed look at something...we think we actually know. What we really know is what we have been engineered to know by the corporations behind these aberrations.\n\nI know because I am one of them. I'm a researcher by design...I need to know. To better know the world. And I do find information hidden in the cesspool of mainstream media. But, 90% of my knowledge comes from books and independent media. \n\nThese \"news\" agencies are master manipulators. After all, many of them learned from the best: Edward Bernays a.k.a. \"The father of propaganda\". Sigmund Freud's nephew. From the Tavistock Institute...a leading school of propagandists. He's the guy that [convinced women to smoke nearly seventy years ago](https://yourstory.com/2014/08/torches-of-freedom). \n\nWhen your uncle is a psychological genius, one tends to know how to infiltrate into the recesses of the subconscious of the masses. The sheep. \n\nThat is all the news really is. It is an engineered social manipulation / engineering apparatus. Period. May I say that again: PERIOD. \n\n[Operation Mockingbird](https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/10/14/how-the-cia-paid-and-threatened-journalists-to-do-its-work) was when the fun was kicked off. The CIA employed shills at nearly every single major news outlet in America. To control...manipulate and control. To snub out the rebels and free thinkers. More importantly, to turn the masses against this small minority of open minded individuals. Open minded and government control do not mix. The best slave is a stupid slave. \n\nOf course \"they\" (CIA, elites, etc) knew that there would still be underground resistance. Alternative news, literature, history...and now websites. And they were prepared for this.\n\n## \"You're just a conspiracy theorist\"\n\nMany, no most people do not know where this term came from. The term conspiracy theorist came from the CIA (of course) to thwart those that [questioned the JFK assassination narrative](https://theconversation.com/theres-a-conspiracy-theory-that-the-cia-invented-the-term-conspiracy-theory-heres-why-132117).\n\nNow, this term is used willy-nilly with anyone that questions mainstream narratives, whether it be 9/11, Bill Gates' [experimental vaccination programs in Africa](https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/the-bill-gates-effect-whos-dtp-vaccine-kills-more-children-in-africa-than-the-diseases-it-targets/), or anything else of importance for that matter that would act as an inconvenience to the power control grid that continually attempts to shape the world politically (dubbed the New World Order).\n\nThis is perhaps the most unnerving of the mainstream media a.k.a. \"news\" programming. As in, \"we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming\". The ability to stifle outside opinions. Free thought. \n\nIf one watches enough news, they will subconsciously be led to dismiss alternative concepts as \"conspiracy theories\" and leave it at that. They won't even look. Its the perfect trap for control. \n\nSo not only do they lie to our faces daily, instill fear and doubt and in general ruin our thinking brains, but they convince us to fear and even become hostile to those that have differing opinions. And thus, the status quo, the general consent, is created. This is social engineering that would make Bernays quite proud.\n\n## The solution is bucking the system...starve the beast\n\nWhat if, by chance, everyone just turned off the news? What if we all just walked outside and greeted our neighbors (not wearing masks) and explored? What if we went to alternative and independent journalists who put their lives and incomes on the line to present a real truth? Do we have to believe it? Of course not. But it would be hard to be dumber than the news.\n\nThey would try. Oh yes they would, to find other ways. Snub out the competition, enact politicians whom are in their pockets. Anything to keep us ignorant. But if we just didn't participate then they would die off just like a parasite without a host.\n\nThat is the key. Non-compliance. And teaching others to do the same.",

      "body": "I decided to tone down the abysmal news, which is created for one reason and that is to petrify us with fear constantly...and instead pick up one of my favorite books, and I think it was just the one I needed. That tends to happen to me a lot and I have a huge library! \n\n![106986442_938523886574944_2012566593039625130_n.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/jM8x4YsL-106986442_938523886574944_2012566593039625130_n.jpg)\n\nThe book I picked up was \"Living with the Himalayan Masters\" by Swami Rama.\n\n![112519.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/Di5G8wXq-112519.jpg)\n\nIf you haven't heard of it or read it, it is a good sort of lazy motivation...in a good way. The reason I say that is because every story throughout the book is usually only 2-3 pages and details the lesson learned from the certain sage a the end.  So its good to just read a few short stories at a time and they are very calming and pieceful.\n\nOne story in the book was a certain academic sage in India who described how karma worked from a very straight forward and intellectual way. \n\nAnd a certain passage really hit me. See, just reading this book during this coronavirus hoax / episode really makes me want to somehow just disappear into the mountains and become a \"renunciate\" which is what Swami Rama was, meaning that you just basically peace-out of the world and spend every waking second training for enlightenment...seeking out wise men (and women) far away from normal society. And you just get rid of all possessions and live off the kindness of villagers and locals you meet across the way. In these regions where he travels, they welcome and freely give to Swamis ample food and shelter to get to the next destination.\n\nDoesn't that sound like a great idea right about now? Just get the hell out of Dodge?\n\nBut the passage I'm referring to with the academic sage...who's name escapes me, talks again about karma and how to get rid of it. There are two ways to do this: One is become again a renunciate and do what I just described. The other, for those that are \"in the world\" as in most people, is to just work on losing all attachment to any sort of worldly possessions. This does not mean you have to give up everything you own and become homeless, it just means that you can use your tools as a means to an end, to help other people, and not focus on \"gathering stuff\". \n\nThe West is so far removed from this idea at this point its sort of sad. Everyone is attached to their phone, their car, their money, whatever it is. And in the end, really none of this matters.\n\nI'm speaking primarily of course to the gangsters, sociopaths and lunatics that \"run\" America. The politicians. They really seem to want to control the public. That is why they shut us down. They can use whatever reason they want. To \"keep us safe\" (yeah, sure). Its for our own health that they devastated the economy and ruined so many lives. They are attached to power. Power hungry, imbecilic psychopaths. But they're really dead on the inside. No power will ever be enough for them...and this is a sad fate for them. Not for us.\n\nWe can go inside ourselves during this time. I know I have tried...and its working. I still cringe when I go into society at times, but I'm losing the attachment. I noticed while reading this book, and especially this passage, that I was not in control of anything mentally. I had totally lost control. I was angry, resentful, loathing...I was complaining about things that I don't even use!\n\nOne common theme with the the Masters that Rama visits is that besides the point that they own nothing, not even clothes at times, they often will simply sit there with their eyes closed for days at a time and won't even talk to visitors. One sage quoted \"Why would I open my eyes? I am completely happy with them closed. Everything that I need is inside.\"\n\nThat's a pretty mind blowing quote, and very useful right now. \n\nWe might not not be able to do it that easily...but in the end, we have to be completely happy with ourselves first, we have to cultivate it within. This is a hard lesson for westerners. In the East, often times the majority of people are very poor and somewhat enslaved physically, like in India. But they can still be happy because they are so much more spiritual than us.\n\nI think that's what we have lost in America and Europe...The West. We have totally been broken from spirituality from these same controlling forces. We've been accustomed to being attached to relatively meaningless things in terms of our true happiness...fast food restaurants at our disposal, cars for everyone, credit cards for debt we can't repay...we are completely attached to the physical realm. The lower realm as the Swamis call it. The higher realm is consciousness.\n\nWe have to work on expanding our consciousness, only then can we see the real truth...through meditation mainly...and then, if we collectively did this, we could see this lie for what it is and together throw off the shackles from the few that pretend to have power.\n\nIts amazing what you can glean from a random book. I suggest we all learn from these stories and fables, instead of focusing on what we're physically losing.",

      "title": "There's a pandemic alright: mass nutritional deficiencies for most Americans",
      "body": "I wanted to do this somewhat brief post to really get into people's heads just how bad the health of Americans is, and how easily these deficiencies could be remedied.\n\nThese are numbers that I learned in school, mainly from the CDC website, outlining widespread deficiencies. Since that was ten years ago sadly the CDC site has been basically impossible to navigate for simple information these days. \n\n- 80% of people are dehydrated at any given time. I would actually put this number closer to 90-95% based off working with training and nutrition clients for the past decade. This is obviously one of the easiest deficiencies to remedy. People just need to drink more water. I would say that I drink more water than anybody I've ever met...at least 8 liters per day, usually more. For one reason, I live in a very arid and hot environment, at altitude (Denver Colorado aka mile high city). All three of these factors mandate more water.  Drinking water seems so simple. I like to use the analogy of owning a dog as a pet. Every once in awhile, these dogs will typically come over and just start lapping up water relentlessly...they are pretty smart animals. They have no shame, they don't \"ask for permission\" they just drink tons of water. Water is akin to the sewage system in the human body. If you have ever smelled a sewer in a city that was low on water (and high in waste) then you see what I'm saying. It becomes putrified and disgusting. The waste just builds up. This is what happens when humans are dehydrated...the body is unable to eliminate waste properly and in sufficient quantities. The kidneys can be damaged and energy levels will fall drastically...from an athletic standpoint even a 1-3% dehydration level can dramatically affect performance. There are also other issues with dehydration, namely that it causes disrupted electrolyte balance which damages cells themselves. Our bodies need adequate sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium for optimal nutrition. Given that magnesium is another major deficiency we can run into all sorts of problems with hydration. \n\n- Most women are deficient in selenium which has been linked to [increased risk of breast cancers](https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04014283f). This is a vital antioxidant that is found in quality seafood, poultry products and of course eggs. This is one reason why the Mediterranean diet may be so beneficial for health. Quality seafood and fatty fish (wild, not farmed) is something that is absent in most people's diets. The use of \"corn pellets\" for farmed aka \"sustainable\" seafood has changed the nutrient profile of the fish. If buying seafood such as salmon then it is imperative to get wild-caught...even if it is a little pricier. Paying a little more for quality food is something that many people could benefit from.\n\n- Speaking of seafood, iodine is another nutrient that is seen to be deficient in many people and is associated with [thyroid problems](https://www.thyroid.org/iodine-deficiency/#:~:text=GOITER%20%E2%80%93%20Without%20adequate%20iodine%2C%20the,goiter%20) which is why many doctors prescribe iodine supplementation for people with enlarged thyroids or hypothyroidism. One thing to note is that our table salt used to be \"sodium iodide\" and now is \"sodium bromide\" and even on many sea-salt bottles it will explicitly state that \"this product does not contain iodine, an essential nutrient\".  Once again, to help supplement this nutrient supplementation can be used as well as eating again high quality wild caught fish that absorbs iodine in its natural environment. \n\n- Vitamin D is a common nutrient that we are deficient in as [most Americans are drastically deficient](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vitamin-d-deficiency-united-states/) in this highly useful immune system booster. Add on top that these days in the era of the Covid-19 plandemic people are being told to stay indoors more and more, and people also tend to use lots of unhealthy sunscreens which can block vitamin D synthesis from the sun. Its almost as if we are being set up to have our immune systems destroyed and weakened on purpose.\n\nThere are many other examples of malnourishment including vitamin C (which can cause scurvy and osteoporosis) and essential amino acids. The main point of this article is to point out that what we eat makes a huge difference in our health as a society. People take it for granted often times that certain nutrients are labeled \"essential\" meaning that we must get them in the diet or malnourishment will ensue. Getting an array of healthy fats from quality fish, nuts, organic dairy and other varieties of foods is a must for health! Add on top of that that people tend to consume massive amounts of empty carbohydrates in the form of processed sugar-rich foods and we are headed for a medical disaster as a nation. Sure, getting \"fruits and veggies\" is great but we must do this on a daily basis and make it a priority. Nothing keeps the immune system stronger than varieties of good natural foods, proper supplementation and plenty of clean drinking water. Just the basics here folks.\n\nFollow me for more nutritional advice and information to ensure that you get what your body needs for it to be vibrant and healthy, and to keep your energy levels and health in general in line!",

      "body": "I’ve been studying quite a bit on the concept of dopamine addiction. Basically, dopamine is the (hypothetical) chemical in your brain that is released when you do something that gives you “pleasure”. \n\nI say hypothetical because there is really no way to measure dopamine levels (or serotonin for that matter). \n\n![FFA47D298FE94640A6D1AB1B0484EE1B.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/SlnoFNWo-FFA47D29-8FE9-4640-A6D1-AB1B0484EE1B.jpeg)\n\nDopamine secretion is a very evolutionary idea. It comes from simply the brain attempting to coerce the body into doing things that will result in a net “positive” to a situation. \n\nLet’s go back 200 years. You’re a settler in the U.S. You have to farm, hunt and do other things to survive. In this case, surviving is the “net positive” for the brain. So, you would go do something that would actually take a lot of time and effort, such as planting a field, killing and skinning a rabbit, creating some clothing or something of that type of survival nature. You’re rewarded with a well-deserved dopamine drip.\n\nFast forward to now. The technocratic era. Your brain works in 1’s and 0’s. 1 = dopamine drip and 0 = no dopamine. \n\nIt is phenomenally easy to get that dopamine now. You watch porn...instead of finding a mate (which takes time). You eat fast food which of course is engineered to release “happy hormones” like dopamine. You click on facebook and see you have a “like” on your post...dopamine drizzle incoming.\n\nWe are obviously a world for the most part that is dopamine overloaded. This is a way of **giving away energy** to whatever it is we are using for the “dopamine drip”. \n\n![66A3D601FC3141FA9B18BF9386C2F2FC.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/IaQE1fJP-66A3D601-FC31-41FA-9B18-BF9386C2F2FC.jpeg)\n\nSo how does this transfer over to “doing the things you love”?\n\nBecause nothing that you truly love and strive for in life, whether it be a thriving business, family, or community of some sort...comes easy and fast.\n\nUnlike the dopamine “instant drip” that we get from things like social media, smartphones in general, masturbation (the ultimate drip! No pun intended), fast food, etc.\n\nAnd when your brain gets used to these things (called addictions) then doing worthwhile things in life becomes arduous and people can end up lazy and wondering why they have no motivation. \n\nIts because your brain works only in 1’s and 0’s and so doing hard work that takes time does not *deliver the dopamine as quick as the easy road*.\n\nFast food is easier than finding ingredients and preparing a meal.\n\nSocial media stalking and “like watching” is easier than creating a useful peace of information, writing or art...which takes time.\n\nPorn is easier than finding a girl (or guy), creating a relationship that may end up with sex.\n\nAnd all of this is creating nothing but useless holes in your life, not really helping you advance as a person or grow in anyway, but instead stagnate and even decline. \n\nIn short, you’re *giving your energy to these mindless activities and taking energy away from the meaningful things in life that make you happy in the long term*.\n\nAnd this is what I mean about harnessing energy inwards for better focus. Focus requires internal energy. \n\nWe all know how we feel after doing all of these mindless activities. We don’t have focus, we get brain fog, lethargic, tired even and basically turned into a zombie...which of course is exactly what the people that designed all of those above activities *want* because it creates a new customer for their drivel: you.\n\n![808327F37BCA4033B72BACB9433D632A.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/3FIzNVsf-808327F3-7BCA-4033-B72B-ACB9433D632A.png)\n\nSo the solution, and one I am currently in the middle of (with pretty good results thus far) is a “dopamine fast”. \n\nWhat’s that you say? Well its pretty simple. Don’t do all of these dopamine drip activities...as well as you can, for an extended period of time. See what happens to your natural energy levels and focus. Mine have skyrocketed...with absolute zero use of one huge dopamine drip that I forgot to mention above: caffeine.\n\nI don’t drink much coffee anyway, I prefer an herbal tea product that I use and sell (shameless plug). It has natural caffeine...but doesn’t have the crash like coffee.\n\nAnyway, cutting out these things are hard. There are so many dopamine-inducing items that many people may not even be aware of...basically anything that is a fast track to happiness I guess is the best way to put it. Coffee, alcohol, cigarettes to name a few popular ones. So I have cut out all alcohol, coffee, useless social media scrolling (I still use it for work, but I’m in and out...no looking at hot chicks on IG!). Netflix, tons of youtube videos...all of it has to go.\n\nAnd, like any addiction, you will have withdrawals, but I assure you if you stick with it a few days something miraculous will happen: you will start to get motivated to do the things that are important and move you forward in life. \n\nThe reason is that your brain will still be looking for that dopamine.\n\n![58F455C7F66C4802A4ADBE34B918E5EC.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/zydane/DeZTwblX-58F455C7-F66C-4802-A4AD-BE34B918E5EC.jpeg)\n\nAnd, with the absence of all the other useless junk listed above, your body will quite literally be coerced into doing things that need to be done...to get that fix. That drip.\n\nSo I noticed after a few days (and it can be hard to stick with but well worth it) that I was more motivated than ever to work, write, talk to and find clients...all of that. Before it seemed like I was just never “in the mood” to do it. But now I actually look forward to these things and I expect it to get better as I go longer and longer without the addictions and continue to cut more and more out of my life.\n\nYou harness the energy inward by removing the dopamine drippers...then you get a dopamine BOMB when you actually complete something useful. This becomes a feedback loop as your brain becomes *trained* to want to work and do meaningful things. It’s quite literally rewiring the brain for success.\n\nSo I hope this might help some people if they are feeling unmotivated constantly and wondering why they don’t have that urge to work and progress. \n\nRemember, these addictions are built in place by people that are relying on this dopamine addiction. They are designed to do that to you. So don’t feel worthless or anything like that. Just understand the system and the machinations underlying it and then use that knowledge to change your life!\n\nNamaste healthy friends!",
