Does cholesterol really cause heart disease?
The World Health Organization’s MONICA Study looked at a wide range of populations and their cholesterol and heart disease rates in an attempt to find a directly proportional correlation. What they found was quite the opposite. Australian Aboriginals have the lowest cholesterol and the highest rate of heart disease. They have 30 times that of people in France and 15 times higher than those in the UK. Conversely, the Swiss have some of the highest cholesterol levels, and 1/3 the heart disease rate of the UK. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, author of The Great Cholesterol Con, stated, “It is unbelievable to me that you can look at this data and sustain your belief in the cholesterol hypothesis.”

Raise Leptin to manage weight
If you feel sluggish or need to lose a few pounds, you may need to boost your body's production of leptin.
A hormone that helps regulate appetite, leptin lets the brain know when there is enough fat stored in the body. When you gain weight, the leptin in your body stops working properly,
and you become resistant to the signals leptin sends.
This resistance leads to additional weight gain,
1. Eat more fiber to boost leptin
2. Sleep more to raise leptin
3. Daily eat 5- 10 serves fruit and veg to increase leptin
4. Omega-3 fatty acids boost leptin. ie walnuts, salmon, mackerel, trout, flax seeds, squash kale, cauli
5. Stop eating after dinner, to maximize peak fat-burning hours
6, Do some weight resistance movement every day
7. Drink water
8, Morning -Eat protein, healthy fats,ie coconut oil, macadamia oil, tallow, lard.
9. Sunshine, about 30 mins per day, for essential Vit D
10. Remove toxins, ie chemical deodorants, soaps, cleaners.

How You Can Quickly Control The 4 Hormones All Slender People Have In Balance...
1.Hormone Adiponectin,- increase Mg, eat pumpkin seeds, green leafies, or fast every 2nd day
2. Ghrelin - too much of this hormone causes hunger cravings- fix it by sleeping 6-8 hrs.
3. Insulin imbalance - causes excess energy foods to be stored as fat -
take 2 Tblsp applecidervinegar before eating meal - esp carbs.
4. Cortisol overload, caused by stress -causes craving for carbs and it breaks down muscle,and stores as fat on abdomen, which causes more cortisol, which causes depression which causes cravings, To reduce stress breathe in thru nose-using abdomen, count to 4, exhale thru mouth, repeat a few times until u RELAX
Did you know that magnesium deficiency can lead to...
- Anxiety- Tension- Heart Palpitations- Heart Disease- Stroke
- Diabetes- Fibromyalgia- Morning Sickness- IBS- and much more?

High Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease
Cholesterol is used by our bodies to repair lesions in the arteries. Dr. Mary Enig, fat researcher, suggests that blaming cholesterol for heart disease is something like blaming firefighters for starting fires.
Is it really a good idea to reduce our arteries' firefighters?
The key to stopping heart disease is to stop the lesions (fires) in the arteries from occurring in the first place,
by minimizing glycation by eating less sugar and high fructose corn syrup,
and minimizing free radical damage by not consuming refined and therefore rancid vegetable oils.
Our bodies consider cholesterol to be so essential to our survival, that every cell in our body
can manufacture it as needed. If we eat little or no cholesterol, our bodies manufacture more,
and if we eat a lot, our bodies don't manufacture as much.
This way our cholesterol levels maintain homeostasis irrespective of our diet,
and this is the reason it is so difficult to reduce or raise cholesterol levels much with diet alone
1. Wellnesstips.ca/highcholesterol
2. The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years.

9 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight:
1. You’re engaging in too much mindless eating.
2. You’re eating too many “pleasure foods.”
3. You’re eating too little.
4. You’re under “hidden stress.”
5. You’re too focused on diet to the exclusion of all else.
6. You’re getting too much exercise.
7. Your macronutrients and training are mismatched.
8. Your eating schedule is too disordered.
9. You’re actually at a healthy weight and your body is “keeping” you from dropping any more.

17 reasons you don't lose weight
1. You think you’re eating healthy, but aren’t. - ie eat real food. It’s about way more than just low-carb.
2. You’re under too much stress. causes the body to produce cortisol, the fight-or-flight hormone that catabolizes muscle, worsens insulin resistance, and promotes the storage of fat.
3. You need to watch your carb intake.Carbs are key, avoid all processed food (hidden sugars) try skipping fruit.
4. You’re adding muscle.I always tell people not to get hung up on the scales so much.
5. You’re not active enough.Are you Moving Frequently at a Slow Pace for three to five hours every week?
6. You’re lapsing into Chronic Cardio. Chronic Cardio. When you stay above 75% of your maximum heart rate for extended periods of time, you’re burning glycogen. Your body in turn craves even more sugar to replenish the lost stores, you’ll gain weight, lose muscle, release more cortisol, and compromise any progress .
7. You still haven’t tried IF.- intermittent fasting changes a weight loss plateau. Skip breakfast and eat a late lunch.
then, skip breakfast and lunch the next time -take it slow and pay attention to hunger. Eventually, try exercising in a fasted state to maximize the metabolic advantage - eat over 8 hours only.
8. You’re eating too much.Low-carb isn’t magic. It reins in wild hunger and tames insulin, but calories do still matter –you’ve got to tighten things up if things aren’t working.
9. You haven’t overcome bad habits or developed good ones. Identify bad habits? develop good ones. Follow guidelines as when kicking a bad habit – identification, planning, publication – and you’ll be on your way.
10. You haven’t purged and Primalized your pantry.. Keep junk food out of your pantry, out of your house altogether and toss the stuff that doesn’t apply. check out fridge and grocery lists of Primal folks for inspiration.
11. You’ve reached a healthy homeostasis. -It may be that your body has reached its “ideal” weight – its effective, genetic set point. If carbs, calories, activity levels, sleep, and stress are accounted for, you may be at healthy homeostasis. Then, the question: do you want to mess with a good thing?
12. You’re low on willpower.Willpower is like a muscle. Go for a walk if you can’t muster the will for the gym. Take note that willpower, might be an indicator of your body’s needs. If you can’t muster up the will for the gym, it may be that your body needs to recover.. overtraining is a bigger danger than lack of will.
13. You’re full of excuses.If you find yourself having mini self-contained internal arguments throughout the day (and you lose), or (even worse) lying to yourself about what you’re eating and doing, you’re probably also full of excuses. Read this, maybe twice, then follow up with this.
14. You haven’t actually gone Primal!Take the plunge. Go Primal for 30 days and see how you like it.
15. You’re not getting enough sleep.- sleep deprivation cause the release of cortisol, our old fat-storing friend.
The biggest spike in (fat-burning, anabolic) growth hormone plasma levels occurs in deep sleep.
A recent sleep study showed truncated sleep patterns are linked to weight gain. Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
16. You haven’t given it enough time.The Primal Blueprint is a fat loss. Some people get instant results from dropping carbs, grains, sugar, and vegetable oils, while others have to take a month to get acclimated and only then does the weight begin to slide off but this is a lifestyle. You’re in it for the long run.
17. You’re eating too much dairy.Some people just react poorly to dairy.
Bonus Reason: Sprinting is not part of your fitness routine.- Nothing shreds faster than sprinting. - ease into sprints if you’ve never done them or are extremely out of shape or overweight.
When able, do 6-8 sprints (with short breaks between) once a week to break a weight loss plateau when all other attempts have failed.

Have a peek at that... we don't need to become fitness trainers
but we can figure out reasons for eating comfort foods,
feeling sad, feeling alone, no purpose for living, anger, hurt, that empty feeling, fear, worry,
Ask God for forgiveness, let go of the pain, ask God for HOPE, joy, peace, strength,
Know it's possible to lose weight in 6 mnths, by eating well,
eating the right fats, eliminating sugar, being excited to try different recipes/ideas.
I lost 2 stone, merely by cutting out grains, eg eating eggs/veg in coconut oil for breaky
reducing fruit to 2 a day, no dried fruit.
Find someone to walk with, get out into the sunshine,
do something active/interesting 3 times a week.

but researchers noted:
"Although the mechanisms are currently unknown,
these results suggest that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
possess anabolic properties via their ability to enhance the sensitivity
of skeletal muscle to amino acids and insulin."
Your safest and most cost-effective choice for bumping up your omega-3 fats
is taking a high-quality krill oil.
Krill oil is superior to fish oil because the omega-3 fatty acids
it contains are phospholipid-bound, making them more assimilable.
It also contains a very powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin,
which is bonded together with the omega-3s in a way that keeps them safe from oxidation
(many popular fish oil brands are already oxidized/rancid before you open the bottle).
Studies show krill oil is 48 times more potent than fish oil,
and harvesting krill is more sustainable and earth-friendly than harvesting fish
(not to mention far less polluted because they are far lower on the food chain).

The biggest spike in (fat-burning, anabolic) growth hormone plasma levels occurs in deep sleep.
A recent sleep study showed truncated sleep patterns are linked to weight gain. Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
16. You haven’t given it enough time.The Primal Blueprint is a fat loss. Some people get instant results from dropping carbs, grains, sugar, and vegetable oils, while others have to take a month to get acclimated and only then does the weight begin to slide off but this is a lifestyle. You’re in it for the long run.
17. You’re eating too much dairy.Some people just react poorly to dairy.
Bonus Reason: Sprinting is not part of your fitness routine.- Nothing shreds faster than sprinting. - ease into sprints if you’ve never done them or are extremely out of shape or overweight.
When able, do 6-8 sprints (with short breaks between) once a week to break a weight loss plateau when all other attempts have failed.

The Food You Need to Ditch Today (If You Want to Be Slim)
Now proven by MRI... fructose triggers actual brain changes that can keep you hungry,
craving sweets and storing flab. Can also lead to 30+ serious health problems.
If you want to slim down, you simply cannot afford to eat this at any time.

Have a peek at that... we don't need to become fitness trainers
but we can figure out reasons for eating comfort foods,
feeling sad, feeling alone, no purpose for living, anger, hurt, that empty feeling, fear, worry,
Ask God for forgiveness, let go of the pain, ask God for HOPE, joy, peace, strength,
Know it's possible to lose weight in 6 mnths, by eating well,
eating the right fats, eliminating sugar, being excited to try different recipes/ideas.
I lost 2 stone, merely by cutting out grains, eg eating eggs/veg in coconut oil for breaky
reducing fruit to 2 a day, no dried fruit.
Find someone to walk with, get out into the sunshine,
do something active/interesting 3 times a week.

- Elderly women who engage in strength training and added omega-3 fat supplements to their diet
- had greater improvements in muscle strength and functional capacity
- than those doing strength training alone3
- Omega-3 fats stimulate muscle building in individuals
- who experience muscle loss due to aging or cancer cachexia;
- they also have muscle-building properties in healthy young and middle-aged adults4
but researchers noted:
"Although the mechanisms are currently unknown,
these results suggest that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
possess anabolic properties via their ability to enhance the sensitivity
of skeletal muscle to amino acids and insulin."
Your safest and most cost-effective choice for bumping up your omega-3 fats
is taking a high-quality krill oil.
Krill oil is superior to fish oil because the omega-3 fatty acids
it contains are phospholipid-bound, making them more assimilable.
It also contains a very powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin,
which is bonded together with the omega-3s in a way that keeps them safe from oxidation
(many popular fish oil brands are already oxidized/rancid before you open the bottle).
Studies show krill oil is 48 times more potent than fish oil,
and harvesting krill is more sustainable and earth-friendly than harvesting fish
(not to mention far less polluted because they are far lower on the food chain).

CHOLESTEROL- we need it
Dr Mercola/eating-eggs.
EAT coconut oil if you want to lose weight.
be aware that you may feel different effects for a couple mnths, eg heart rate increase for an hour or so.
but persevere and watch health improve.
In Sanskrit, the coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha, meaning
"tree which gives all that is necessary for living"
When combined with a balanced diet of fresh foods,
Coconut oil lowers cholesterol to 'normal' by promoting its conversion into pregnenolone.
Pregnenolone belongs to a group of neurosteroids found in high concentrations in certain areas of the brain. Neurosteroids affect synaptic function, are neuroprotective and enhance myelinization
(the insulating sheath covering over nerves).
Since the 1930s, it has been clearly established that suppression of the thyroid will raise serum cholesterol
(while increasing mortality from infections, cancer, and heart disease);
therefore, restoring the thyroid hormone brings cholesterol down to normal.
By 1950, it was established that unsaturated fats suppress the metabolic rate,
apparently creating hypothyroidism.
The exact mechanisms of that metabolic damage was studied and documented
that unsaturated fats damage the mitochondria, partly by suppressing the respiratory enzyme,
and partly by causing generalized oxidative damage.
The more unsaturated the oils are,
the more specifically they suppress tissue response to the thyroid hormone.
Nearly all commercial seed and vegetable oils on the market today, are high in unsaturated fats.
In animal studies starting in the 40's, coconut oil proved to have anti-obesity effects
and is the reason it is NOT used in commercial feeds,
because it is literally too hard to fatten a cow or pig that is eating coconut oil!
Just as metabolism is "activated" by consumption of coconut oil,
which prevents the inhibiting effect of unsaturated oils, other inhibited processes, such as clot removal and phagocytosis, will probably tend to be restored by continuing use of coconut oil.
Consequently, folks that have followed lowfat diets for as much as 11 years,
create an inability to digest fats and can result in execma and problems of skin and hair.
To read more on the huge mis-understanding about fats, toxic unsaturated fats,
and their damage on our system, refer to Ray Peat's articles.

Dr Mercola/eating-eggs.
- Cholesterol is in /and needed by every cell in your body, where it helps to produce cell membranes,
- hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help you to digest fat.
- While organic pastured eggs are some of the healthiest foods you can eat,
- you’ll want to avoid omega-3 eggs, which typically come from chickens that are fed poor-
- quality sources of omega-3 fats that are already oxidized.
- You also want to eat your eggs raw, or lightly cooked, as cooking the egg will oxidize the cholesterol
- especially avoid scrambled eggs.
- Dr Mercola/statin-drugs-Accelerate Cardiovascular Disease/coronary-disease.
- Statins are the world's most-prescribed class of medications.
- A staggering one in four Americans over the age of 45 now take cholesterol-lowering drugs
- such as Pravachol, Mevacor, Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor, and others.
- A majority of them are taking these drugs for primary prevention of heart attacks and strokes.
However, mounting research suggests this could be a critical mistake.
Most recently, two separate studies have concluded that progression of coronary artery calcification, - which is the hallmark of potentially lethal heart disease,
- is INCREASED with statin drug use.
- First you need to understand the biological workings of cholesterol.
- In fact, there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" cholesterol.
- Both HDL and LDL cholesterol perform vital functions in your body,
- which is why it's actually-click here- dangerous to bring your LDL levels down too low.

Dewdrops for the digestion
Healthy Stomach flora - is vital for health
because if digestion/stomach flora is balanced/healthy, then the body is healthy
“A well-functioning gut with healthy gut flora holds the roots of our health. And, like a tree with sick roots is not going to thrive, the rest of the body cannot thrive without a well-functioning digestive system”
Dr Mercola.com/can-probiotics-prevent-auto-immune disease.
If you suffer from any inflammatory condition -- be it celiac disease, other autoimmune disorders,
or heart disease, just to name a few -- it would be wise to avoid grains.
Probiotics may help your body recover and heal,
but they cannot be used as a way to maintain a grain-based diet without suffering ill effects.
Grains (and sugars) are highly pro-inflammatory, and while probiotics are anti-inflammatory,
they cannot cancel out the detrimental effects of a diet high in starchy carbs.
Similarly sugars and grains will feed the pathogenic bacteria,
which virtually eliminates any benefit from the added probiotics.
The good news is, the combination of avoiding or eliminating grains and sugar,
along with increased consumption of probiotic foods (or a high-quality supplement)
is a powerful combination that could bring new hope and increased health for millions of people suffering from celiac disease, wheat intolerance and other autoimmune disorders,
as well as possibly help prevent the condition from occurring.
Best Sources of Probiotics -
This is the same for everyone -- traditionally fermented foods.
Fermented food helps you to both "reseed" your body with good bacteria,
as well as provide the ideal 'nourishing matrix' that the bacteria depend on
to flourish in their transit through your gut, and include tasty options such as:
as pasteurization will destroy nearly all of the naturally occurring probiotics.
This includes most of the "probiotic" yogurts you find in every grocery store these days;
since they're pasteurized, they will be associated with all of the problems of pasteurized milk products and they typically contain added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring, or artificial sweeteners,
all of which will only worsen your health.
If you do not regularly consume the traditionally fermented foods above,
a high-quality probiotic supplement will provide similar benefits.
Take a probiotic 15 mins before breakfast,
or on empty stomach before bed

Fermented food helps you to both "reseed" your body with good bacteria,
as well as provide the ideal 'nourishing matrix' that the bacteria depend on
to flourish in their transit through your gut, and include tasty options such as:
- Lassi (an Indian yoghurt drink, traditionally enjoyed before dinner)
- Fermented milk/ kefir (a quart of unpasteurized kefir has far more active bacteria than in any probiotic.
- Various pickled fermentations of cabbage, sauerkraut, turnips, eggplant, cucumbers, onions, squash and carrots
- Natto (fermented soy)
as pasteurization will destroy nearly all of the naturally occurring probiotics.
This includes most of the "probiotic" yogurts you find in every grocery store these days;
since they're pasteurized, they will be associated with all of the problems of pasteurized milk products and they typically contain added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring, or artificial sweeteners,
all of which will only worsen your health.
If you do not regularly consume the traditionally fermented foods above,
a high-quality probiotic supplement will provide similar benefits.
Take a probiotic 15 mins before breakfast,
or on empty stomach before bed

lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue!? Our bodies are about 70% water! Isn’t that incredible? We need about 2 liters of filtered water every single day just to maintain basic functioning. No wonder there’s so many processes in the body that require proper hydration – including the absorption of minerals and vitamins into our bodies, brain function, regulating metabolism, cell growth, heart function, weight control, digestion, regulation of elimination. Water can also help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Our bodies simply cannot function properly if they are not properly hydrated.

Fix These 3 Things and Most Health Problems Can Resolve Themselves
Let's look at what we call orthodox medicine
Most of the drugs are classified into anti's: anti-hypertensive, anti-acid, anti-pain, analgesic, and immune suppressive which is anti-immune...
They're anti's
Did God make us with a deficiency of any synthetic chemical anti? I don't think so.
To me, the whole foundation of health and treatment of problems revolves around three basic things:
(1) nutrition or malnutrition,
-getting the building blocks into your body that the body requires to stay healthy and to repair;
(2) elimination of toxins –
it's toxins that are inhibiting the body from repairing, so get them out;
remember medications are toxins, so do all you can to eat right, get stomach flora balanced,
so your body will heal itself.
(3) stress
Work out what is causing it and how to relax and trust God.
But what about genetics?
Genetics is actually typically NOT a major part of health and disease,
unless you have something like Down Syndrome.
But for most other diseases, science now tells us that the environment,
and that includes the environment inside your body, has everything to do with genetic expression.
And that's the key.
The hypothesis that genes are the master controllers has been proven false.
"We're finding out now that malnutrition, toxins, and stress play epigenetic roles on your genes," Dr. Rowen says. "Genes play much lesser role than we previously thought.
It's nutrition, toxins, and stress that are playing [influencing] your genes.
It's the three that I pay most attention to.
There's not one of those three that synthetic petrochemical pharmaceutical satisfactorily addresses."

1. Be physically active
2. Stretch your largest muscle groups daily.

3. Eat mineral-rich foods.
green vegetables and herbs are the healthiest, mineral-rich foods that you can eat.
Drink freshly pressed vegetable juices and green smoothies and
using high quality green food powders.
4. Consider drinking mineral-rich broths.
made by simmering bones and a variety of vegetables for an hour or longer .
5. Ensure adequate vitamin D status.
expose your skin to sunlight on a regular basis without getting burned. Sunlight acts on cholesterol found in your skin to produce vitamin D. Your body destroys any excess vitamin D that is made
NOTE use of a sunscreen with an SPF of 8 or higher
can prevent sunlight from acting on cholesterol
in your skin to produce vitamin D.
When sunlight is not available, eat one or more foods rich in vitamin D on a regular basis
eg wild salmon sardines and high quality cod liver oil.

6. Eat high quality fats and cholesterol.
Consumption of high quality fats optimizes the absorption of vitamins A and D into your bloodstream.
And vitamin A is needed to keep your intestinal lining healthy and readily able to absorb minerals
in the foods that you eat.
For these reasons, it's virtually impossible to have optimally healthy bones and teeth
without including healthy fats in your diet.
that is able to optimally absorb minerals into your bloodstream.
Healthy dietary cholesterol can help ensure adequate cholesterol status in your system
so that sunlight has enough cholesterol to act on to produce vitamin D.
While your body is capable of producing cholesterol from other nutrients,
it makes sense to ensure adequate cholesterol levels via intake of healthy cholesterol.

7. Effectively manage emotional stress.
Chronic emotional stress can elevate the level of cortisol in your blood.
Cortisol is useful for combating stress,
but if it remains elevated in your system over the long term,
it can cause the matrix of your bones to weaken. Corticosteroid drugs can also weaken bones
and cause osteoporosis if used in large quantities and/or over the long term.
8. Avoid regular consumption of foods that may cause your bones to lose calcium.
Acid-forming foods are foods that bring the pH of your blood down.
Because you cannot survive if the pH of your blood moves outside a very narrow range (7.35 to 7.45),
your body must buffer the effects of acid-forming foods to maintain a healthy blood pH level.
One of the main ways in which your body buffers acid-forming foods is to take calcium from your bones
and use it to neutralize the remnants of acid-forming foods.
If your body is repeatedly forced to do this, your bones may be weakened.
Foods that are strongly acid-forming in your blood and
should not be in your diet
Dr. Walter Willet and his team at Harvard University,
looked at the milk-drinking habits of 72,000 women, and found that regularly drinking milk
did not translate to a lower risk of experiencing a hip fracture.
A 2003 Swedish study - 60,000 women
found no association between calcium intake and risk of fracture.
Finally, The Health Professionals Follow-Up Study of 43,000 men,
and found no association between dietary calcium intake and bone fractures.
Sadly, today's generation of Korean and other East Asian children
are being raised with regular doses of milk, yogurt, and baked goods that contain dairy,
and the vast majority of their parents have no idea why chronic ear infections,
sinus infections, digestive disturbances, skin disorders, autoimmune illness,
symptoms of estrogen dominance, and cancer among younger people are all on the rise.
(And yes, all of these and other chronic health challenges can be caused in whole
or in part by regular consumption of pasteurized dairy products.)

- Coconuts, coconut oil and coconut milk
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Avocados
- Organic eggs from cage-free birds
- Soaked nuts and seeds (about a handful per day )
- Cold-water fish and high quality fish oils
- Bone broths
- Organically raised red and white meats (should be eaten sparingly if eaten at all - with proper planning,
there is no physiological requirement for red and white meats)

- Artificial sweeteners
- Soft drinks (pop)
- Sugar
- Cookies, cakes, and pastries made with white flour
- Refined Table salt
- (use organic seasalt or Himalayan salt)
- Alcohol
- 9. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin C.
Collagen is a long, fibrous protein that is critical to providing your bones with tensile strength. - In short, the more quality collagen that you have in your bones,
the more physical stress that your bones can tolerate before breaking.
Your body needs vitamin C to synthesize collagen. Please note that there is a big difference between the full vitamin C complex found in real foods and synthetic forms of vitamin C
found in many nutritional supplements. Some excellent food sources of real vitamin C are:- Organic goji berries
- Bell peppers
- Citrus fruits
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Acerola cherries
Addressing osteoporosis with a calcium supplement or drug - Organic goji berries
- without regard for your overall health will not allow you to build and maintain
- the healthiest bones that your genetics and upbringing will allow.
If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, please note that in early stages,
weakened bones can become fully healthy again
if you consistently make the good choices in the days ahead.
