Canadian politician Dr. James D. Lunney delivered a compelling address to the National Citizens Inquiry in Ottawa, shedding light on the extraordinary impact of vitamin D as a true magic bullet for human health. In his impassioned speech, Dr. Lunney emphasized the crucial role of this essential nutrient for all individuals, particularly those residing in Northern climates and, more significantly, individuals with dark skin.
Drawing from his own experience as a Member of Parliament, Dr. Lunney recounted his efforts to pass a bill in the Canadian Parliament aimed at raising awareness about the profound significance of Vitamin D for the well-being of nations. However, he uncovered a disturbing reality—a potential nexus between influential drug companies and governmental entities seeking to suppress the dissemination of such vital information.
With an unwavering commitment to transparency, Dr. Lunney elucidated the stark disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, specifically highlighting the overrepresentation of Somalis in intensive care units due to alarmingly low systemic levels of vitamin D within this demographic.
In a sobering anecdote, Lunney brought to the forefront the plight of workers in the Alberta Meat Packing plant, where fear of the virus was deliberately instilled. Strikingly, most affected individuals were not only dark-skinned but also severely deficient in vitamin D. Lunney asserted that Health Canada, regrettably, failed to issue guidance advising all newcomers to Canada to proactively elevate their serum levels of this essential nutrient.
Dr. Lunney posited that the motive behind governments’ reticence in promoting the efficacy of Vitamin D as a preventive measure against various diseases, including COVID-19, may be rooted in ulterior interests—putting profits before people’s well-being. He challenged the status quo and raised essential questions about the actions of Theresa Tam, Trudeau’s Chief Public Health Officer during the pandemic. Specifically, he demanded an explanation for her decision to shut down the Global Health Information Network—an ambitious $100,000,000.00 investment by the Canadian government.
When pressed about the potential political motivations behind the questionable decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Lunney boldly asserted that the issue goes far beyond mere partisan disputes. He unveiled a profound truth—it is ultimately about control, with far-reaching implications beyond politics.
Lunney also expressed concerns about China and its potential interference in Canadian affairs. He suggested that the Chinese Embassy treats Canadian citizens of Chinese origin as if they are still subject to Chinese influence, especially those with families in China. Lunney also expressed unease about Chinese students studying in Canada, as he believed they are fast-tracked for Canadian citizenship, and some may be involved in espionage activities. Finally, he raised questions about a disused airbase near Red Deer that allegedly has Chinese individuals studying how to fly in Canadian airspace, questioning the motives behind it.
Furthermore, Lunney voiced concerns about China’s dictatorial approach and asserted they are not allies of democratic countries like Canada. He referenced the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that the mandates and restrictions imposed during that time were unnecessary and caused more harm than good. He also criticized the handling of vaccines, suggesting that adverse events and even deaths are associated with their administration. Lunney questioned the effectiveness and safety of mRNA vaccines, highlighting reports of sudden deaths and expressing doubts about the handling and storage of the vaccines.
Dr. Lunney’s address serves as a powerful wake-up call, urging society to recognize and embrace the transformative potential of vitamin D. With a resounding voice, he champions the importance of prioritizing public health over hidden agendas, calling for transparency, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of the people.
An ever-growing body of research shows thatNigella sativa, also known as black seed, is a powerful “remedy for everything but death,” as they used to say about this medicinal food back in ancient times.
(Natural News) An ever-growing body of research shows thatNigella sativa, also known as black seed, is a powerful “remedy for everything but death,” as they used to say about this medicinal food back in ancient times.
One of nature’s most powerful healing remedies, black seed, and specifically the oil thereof, has been studied extensively as of late for its ability to fight all sorts of nasty conditions, including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Helicobacter pylori infection, epilepsy, high blood pressure, asthma, acute tonsillopharyngitis, cancer, and even opiate addiction and withdrawal.
To remain aligned with federal regulations, black seed oil cannot legally be touted as something that diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease, otherwise, it becomes a “drug.” Because of this, all of the claims made in this article are for educational purposes only, stemming from published, peer-reviewed science.
“This humble but immensely powerful seed kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon-poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic’s pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists,” reads an article summarizing all of the known peer-reviewed and published research on black seed oil.
Can Nigella sativa help you and your family? Have a look at the science
Have a look at the following 16 additional potential health benefits associated with black seed oil, as demonstrated in published scientific literature (once again, the following is what science has found – these are not health claims). See published scientific sources below:
1) Prevents radiation damage: Nigella sativa oil (NSO) and its active component thymoquinone may create a shield of protection around brain tissue affected by radiation-induced nitrosative stress.
2) Protects against heart attack damage: Thymoquinone extract derived from Nigella sativa may protect against damage in the event of a heart attack.
3) Prevents morphine dependence and toxicity: An alcohol extract of black seed may reduce morphine-associated conditioned place preference, a sign of morphine intoxication, dependence, and tolerance.
4) Prevents diabetes-associated kidney damage: Thymoquinone extract may protect against diabetic nephropathy.
5) Prevents postsurgical adhesions: Peritoneal surfaces covered with Nigella sativa oil after peritoneal trauma may help decrease peritoneal adhesion formation.
6) Prevents Alzheimer’s-associated neurotoxicity: Thymoquinone extract from black seed may prevent neurotoxicity and A-beta-1-40-induced apoptosis in the cells of diabetics.
7) Suppresses breast cancer growth: Taking black seed extract may inhibit tumor growth and induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in breast cancer patients.
8) Shows anti-psoriasis properties: Alcohol extract of Nigella sativa seeds may stop psoriasis, which is also how it was used in ancient traditional medicine.
9) Prevents brain pathology associated with Parkinson’s disease: Thymoquinone extract may help protect cultured neurons against alpha-SN-induced synaptic toxicity, a type of pathology observed in the brains of patients with Parkinson’s and dementia.
10) Destroys highly aggressive glioblastoma brain cancer cells: Brain cancer patients may find healing with thymoquinone extract.
11) Kills leukemia cells: Nigella sativa extract may induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases.
12) Suppresses liver cancer growth: Thymoquinone may prevent chemically induced cancers of the liver.
13) Prevents diabetic pathologies: A water and alcohol extract of black seed at low doses may help to lower blood sugar levels while providing an ameliorative effect on the regeneration of pancreatic islets, suggesting high therapeutic value in the management of diabetes mellitus.
14) Suppresses cervical cancer cell growth: Thymoquinone derived from Nigella sativa may provide anti-proliferative, apoptotic, and anti-invasive properties against cervical cancer cells.
15) Prevents lead-induced brain damage: To avoid the brain-damaging effects of lead exposure, Nigella sativa might do the trick.
16) Kills oral cancer cells: Programmed oral cancer cell death may occur when consuming a thymoquinone extract derived from black seed.
There is also evidence to suggest that Nigella sativa is a powerful remedy against the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) as well.

Molecular hydrogen is a selective antioxidant, meaning it doesn’t indiscriminately suppress free radicals but, rather, helps your body make the antioxidants it needs
Glycine and NAC are glutathione precursors; your body uses glutathione to increase the effectiveness of antioxidants such as vitamin C, which is why it’s known as the “master antioxidant”
Magnesium is involved in the functioning of more than 300 enzymes, and many people are deficient
The best supplements for you depend on your age, health status, diet and health goals
I mention a bonus supplement at the end of the article
*
While dietary supplements cannot take the place of a healthy lifestyle, they can be used strategically to boost your health, especially in cases of deficiency. In the U.S., 57.6% of adults aged 20 and overuse supplements, with multivitamins, vitamin D and omega-3 fats representing the top three.1 Another survey put the percentage of Americans using supplements at 86%.2
So, it’s safe to say that many people are interested in taking control of their health with the support of supplemental vitamins, minerals and other compounds. But, when it comes to supplements, more isn’t always better.
To ensure you’re using only supplements you need — avoiding wasting your money while maintaining your body’s balance — I recommend using dietary interventions first. Next, work with a holistic health care practitioner who can guide you on which supplements your body truly needs.
19 Supplements I Consider Essential
The best supplements for you depend on your age, health status and health goals. If having a practitioner guide you isn’t possible, essential supplements may be next on your list — and I’ve compiled the list in rank order of what I believe to be the most important ones.
Some of the most important individual variables you need to consider would be if you are plant-based or choose to eat animal products. While many plant-based diets are fundamentally healthy, they do lack some vital nutrients, like vitamin B12, retinol, vitamin K2, carnosine, carnitine, collagen and choline. If you are plant-based, you will certainly want to consider adding these to your regimen.
1. Molecular Hydrogen (H2)
Molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, meaning it doesn’t indiscriminately suppress free radicals. Rather, it’s unique in that it helps your body make its own endogenous antioxidants. This is important because excessive use of antioxidants can be counterproductive, while molecular hydrogen serves as a redox regulator.
The H2 molecule is the smallest in the universe, which allows it to diffuse through all cell membranes, including the blood-brain barrier and subcellular compartments, and into the mitochondria. According to Tyler LeBaron, Ph.D., it’s been shown to have therapeutic benefits in more than 170 different animal disease models.3 While there’s no risk of overdosing on molecular hydrogen, intermittent exposure produces the best results.
2. Vitamin D
Vitamin D has multiple actions on the immune system, including enhancing the production of antimicrobial peptides by immune cells, reducing damaging pro-inflammatory cytokines, and promoting the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines.4
A recent study found giving vitamin D to people with COVID-19 cut the risk of death from SARS-CoV-2 by 51% and reduced the risk of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) by 72%.5,6 Vitamin D also plays a role in heart disease, as it improves circulation and may be beneficial for high blood pressure. In addition, due to its effects on endothelial function, vitamin D may also help improve or prevent heart failure, heart attack, vasculopathy, stroke and diabetes.7
Ideally, optimize your vitamin D levels via sensible sun exposure, as there are many benefits to sun exposure even aside from vitamin D, such as increasing mitochondrial melatonin by near-infrared (IR) exposure.
My vitamin D level is typically between 80 and 100 and I haven’t taken any vitamin D supplements so you can get your levels high if you are disciplined about your sun exposure. Just be sure to make sure you are eating a very low linoleic acid (LA) diet as it is excessive omega-6 fats that virtually everyone consumes, that cause sun-induced skin cancers.
However, if getting healthy sun exposure simply isn’t an option for you due to your location or lifestyle, daily vitamin D3 supplementation of 8,000 to 10,000 units is likely needed to reach a vitamin D level of 60 to 80 ng/mL.
Data from GrassrootsHealth’s D*Action studies suggest the optimal level for health and disease prevention is between 60 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL, while the cutoff for sufficiency appears to be around 40 ng/mL. In Europe, the measurements you’re looking for are 150 to 200 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L respectively.
The only way to gauge whether you might need to supplement, and how much to take, however, is to get your level tested, ideally twice a year — in the early spring and early fall — when your level is at its low point and peak, respectively. Make sure that your supplemental vitamin D intake is balanced with other nutrients, including vitamin K2 (to avoid complications associated with excessive calcification in your arteries) and magnesium.
3. Niacinamide
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most important biomolecules in your body. It’s involved in the conversion of food to energy, maintaining DNA integrity and ensuring proper cell function. Together, these functions help protect against or delay aging and virtually all chronic diseases.
NAD+ also acts as fuel for longevity proteins called sirtuins. Sadly, NAD levels dramatically decline with age, contributing to aging and chronic disease states. NAD is also used up by DNA repair enzymes and enzymes involved in inflammation and immunity, such that chronic inflammation, or acute illness in old age, can rapidly result in depletion.
To restore NAD_, you need to fix the root cause for NAD+ depletion, which primarily involves addressing the decline in the NAD salvage pathway. By increasing enzymes in that pathway, which decline with age, your body can recycle NAD_ like it did naturally when it was younger. For more information, please review my fantastic interview with molecular biologist Nichola Conlon, Ph.D.
In addition to optimizing NAD+ levels, it also blocks lipolysis which is important if you are the more than 99% of the population that have elevated linoleic acid (LA) levels. Reducing the release of LA from your tissues will lower the amount of oxidative stress in your body.
Niacinamide, like progesterone, inhibits the production of nitric oxide, and also like progesterone, it improves recovery from brain injury and also:
Niacinamide can also lower your triglycerides, which are a potent cardiovascular disease risk factor. It also has a direct anti-adrenaline effect and increases the oxidation of glucose which is your primary metabolic fuel.
The best way to supplement niacinamide is by taking a very low dose of 50 mg three times a day. This is an order of magnitude less expensive than taking NAD precursors like nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide mononucleotide to increase NAD+ levels.
Please do NOT take high doses like 500 mg or even 1,000 mg, because taking more is not better and will be highly counterproductive as higher doses will impair your sirtuin longevity proteins.
You can purchase a niacinamide powder and take one-sixty-fourth of a teaspoon three times a day or take a 50 mg niacinamide tablet three times a day. Because a 50 mg niacinamide tablet currently is not being made commercially, we will be launching one very soon.
4. B Complex
Vitamin B complex is important for your health because it’s involved in a wide range of bodily functions and processes including cell health and the growth of red blood cells, energy levels, eyesight, brain function, digestion and appetite, proper nerve function, hormones and cholesterol production, and cardiovascular health.
B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function and cell metabolism. Vitamin B complex helps support or promote cell health, growth of red blood cells, energy levels, eyesight, brain function, digestion, appetite, proper nerve function, and cardiovascular health and may help prevent infections.
Vitamin B complex is also important for pregnant women as it helps to form the neural tube, which is the precursor to the baby’s brain and spinal cord. It also helps to prevent birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine. It is important to note that vitamin B complex is water-soluble, which means it is not stored in the body and needs to be taken more than once a day.
5. Magnesium
Magnesium is necessary for the healthy functioning of most cells, especially your heart, kidneys and muscles. It’s involved in the functioning of more than 300 enzymes,8 and low levels of magnesium impede cellular metabolic function and deteriorate mitochondrial function.
Magnesium is also required for the activation of vitamin D, and deficiency may hamper your ability to convert vitamin D from sun exposure and/or oral supplementation. Unfortunately, deficiency is common and rarely diagnosed.9
When it comes to oral supplementation, my personal preference is magnesium threonate, as it appears to be the most efficient at penetrating cell membranes, including your mitochondria and blood-brain barrier. Magnesium is also absorbed through your skin, so you can use a topical solution or take Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) baths to increase your levels.
6. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that I believe is important for nearly everyone to take. Why? Because it limits the production of very dangerous free radicals from the metabolism of the omega-6 fat, linoleic acid (LA), which virtually everyone reading this has too much of. It does this by inhibiting lipolysis, or the release of the stored LA in your tissues.
While exercise and fasting are wonderful tools to improve your health, the downside is that virtually everyone has too much LA in their tissues and both of these strategies will increase lipolysis of LA stored in your tissue and produce loads of free radicals and oxidative stress.
Vitamin E not only can prevent oxidative stress from too much LA, but it may also help your body convert this dangerous fat to a non-dangerous saturated fat. Bacteria in your intestine can use vitamin E to saturate the LA. So, vitamin E can actually transform the polyunsaturated fat rather than just protect against it after effects.
Vitamin E is an aromatase inhibitor, which means it blocks the enzyme that converts androgens like testosterone to estrogen, which is useful in reducing the risk for many cancers, especially breast and prostate cancers. Not only does it prevent the production of estrogen, but it also detoxifies xenoestrogens from synthetic chemicals.
Vitamin E is an iron chelator and can also remove age spots or liver spots and scars on your skin if applied topically. It does this because it is an iron chelator. Another term for liver spots is lipofuscin, which is an accumulation of oxidized fats like LA and iron.
While cosmetically unattractive, removing lipofuscin spots is key because what you see on your skin is the tip of the iceberg. They are also in your tissues and organs and will contribute to premature aging. Thankfully, taking vitamin E orally seems to help lower lipofuscin levels. Vitamin E also lowers prolactin, which helps counteract high estrogen levels which tends to increase fertility. Finally, it also blocks adrenaline and reduces cortisol and inflammation.
All of these are major reasons why I am huge fan of vitamin E and believe most people would benefit by taking it. However, you just need to be very careful in selecting your vitamin E supplements as most on the market are counterproductive. Natural vitamin E is a family of eight different compounds: four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. If you eat certain wholesome foods, all eight of the different vitamin E compounds are naturally available.
So, please be careful and make sure to avoid all synthetic vitamin E supplements. You also want to make sure that it has no soy oil in it as soy is typically a GMO, loaded with glyphosate and high in LA.
Your vitamin supplement should have all tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) with the majority of tocopherol as alpha. Similarly, it should have balance tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta). The most common vitamin E supplement on the market is made from GMO soy, is synthetic and only has alpha tocopherol with no other isomers and has no tocotrienols. You definitely don’t want to use supplements like that.
7. Vitamin C (Not Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defenses. It may reduce your risk of chronic disease, including protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease and even skin wrinkling.
Vitamin C plays an essential role in your body, particularly for skin and immune health. It also boosts collagen production and helps protect your skin from UV damage. Some research has found that supplementing with vitamin C can shorten the duration of a cold and may help prevent and treat other infections, such as tetanus and pneumonia.
There are basically two types of vitamin C: that derived from whole foods with all the vital and important micronutrients and synthetic ascorbic acid. They both are important and serve crucial biological roles.
The best of the synthetic ascorbic acid would be liposomal forms as they can more easily penetrate cell membranes, especially when needed in large doses as when treating an acute infection, sepsis or cancer. However, it is best to avoid taking synthetic ascorbic acid daily as this can impair copper utilization by your mitochondria.
It is better to take whole food vitamin C daily as this will support the integration of copper into the electron transport chain in your mitochondria and allow you to generate cellular energy more efficiently. Ideally, this can be in the form of fruits that are high in vitamin C, like oranges, tangerines, amla (also known as gooseberry) and, my favorite, acerola cherries. It is best to take it a few times a day as vitamin C is water soluble.
8. Probiotics
If you don’t eat fermented foods on a regular basis, a probiotic supplement can be useful for maintaining your gut health and microbial diversity. Your gut microbiome affects nearly all your physiological systems, but gut microbial diversity decreases with age.10
For each gram-per-day increase in the average national consumption of fermented vegetables, the mortality risk for COVID-19 decreased by 35.4% in one study.11 Beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods may even be effective for suppressing colon cancer,12 while your mental health is also affected.
One randomized controlled trial demonstrated that high-dose probiotic supplementation is beneficial for people with depression,13 while Lactobacillus has been found to produce gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits excessive neuronal firing, helping to induce a natural state of calm,14 in animal studies.15
9. Omega-3 Fat as DHA and EPA
Omega-3 fats are important for brain health, warding off autoimmune disease16 and decreasing mortality from cardiovascular disease, while also reducing heart attacks and coronary heart disease events.17 An omega-3 index test is one of the most important annual health screens that everyone needs, and it’s a more important predictor of your heart disease risk than your cholesterol levels.
Even research supported by the National Institutes of Health suggests an omega-3 test is a good predictor of overall health and all-cause mortality.18,19 The ideal sources for EPA and DHA omega-3s include cold-water fatty fish, like wild-caught Alaskan salmon, sardines, herring and anchovies. If you do not eat these fish on a regular basis, consider taking a krill oil supplement.
Fish oil is among the most popular supplements in the U.S. Globally, the fish oil market was valued at $1.9 million in 2019, with estimates suggesting this will rise to $2.8 million by 2027.20 Many of these dollars may be wasted, however, due to a chemical process that leaves many fish oil supplements lacking in actual EPA and DHA.
The issue with most fish oil supplements is the chemical process used — trans-esterification — which transforms the oil into a synthetic product that’s far removed from the oil you’d get when eating fish or a high-quality cod liver oil.
When you eat fish or a high-quality cod liver oil, the omega-3 is in a triglyceride form. However, the omega-3s in most all fish oil supplements are in an ethyl ester which is essentially a synthetic substrate, created through the micro distillation process of crude fish oil, in which ethanol and/or industrial alcohol is added. This mix is heat distilled in a vacuum chamber, resulting in a concentrated omega-3 ethyl ester condensate.
The problem with ethyl esters is they’re the least bioavailable form of omega-3. Manufacturers could convert them back into the triglyceride form by detaching the ethyl alcohol molecule and reattaching a glycerol molecule in a process known as re-esterification,21 but most don’t because it’s so costly.
Additionally, not only does this molecular distillation process remove vital resolvins and protectins that are important in reducing inflammation, but it also concentrates the EPA and DHA. You can tell the concentration of these two fats in any given supplement by looking at the label. In fish, the oil consists of 20% to 30% EPA and DHA, whereas purified fish oil concentrate typically contains between 60% and 85% EPA and DHA.22
In my view, it is best to avoid most omega-3 supplements as there are many dangers with them. Krill or a high-quality cod liver oil are some of the best choices I know of, but you must be careful here also, as most are very low quality and add synthetic vitamins A and D into the oil.
Krill oil stands out in this regard, however. It’s more bioavailable because the EPA and DHA are bound in a phospholipid form, allowing you to take lower doses while still reaping similar results. Research also suggests krill oil alleviates oxidative stress and iron accumulation, such that it could be used as a treatment for toxicity caused by iron overload.23
10. L-Glycine
I personally take a teaspoon (about 5 grams) of glycine twice a day, in the morning and before bed. Glycine is an amino acid and is an important methyl-group donor. Methyl groups are found in DNA, where they play a role in cellular reactions. Glycine helps protect against intracellular calcium overload and hypoxia and has anti-inflammatory effects.
In addition to supporting brain function,24 supplemental glycine may be useful for the “prevention and control of atherosclerosis, heart failure, angiogenesis associated with cancer or retinal disorders and a range of inflammation-driven syndromes, including metabolic syndrome.”25 Importantly, glycine is also a glutathione precursor, discussed below. Ray Peat has shown that glycine is:
11. N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
NAC, is a form of the amino acid cysteine. It’s most well-known to help increase glutathione and reduce the acetaldehyde toxicity26 that causes many hangover symptoms. Anyone who overdoses on acetaminophen (Tylenol) also receives large doses of NAC in the emergency room, as it helps prevent liver damage by increasing glutathione.
NAC can be combined with glycine (known as GlyNAC) for even more benefits. In a pilot trial of older adults, GlyNAC supplementation for 24 weeks corrected glutathione deficiency and improved multiple measures of health, including:27
12. Quercetin
Quercetin, an antioxidant flavonol found in foods such as onions, apples, plums and green tea, is a natural antiviral28which helps drive zinc into the cells to stop viral replications. It also combats inflammation and works as a natural antihistamine. A number of studies have also shown quercetin, when used early, also lowers your risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19,29 and improves clinical outcomes.
Quercetin is one of the supplements I recommend keeping in your medicine chest for times when you feel you’re “coming down” with something, be it the common cold or influenza. This is because it helps drive zinc ions into your cells, which then serves to halt replication of the virus that you are infected with.
Like vitamin E, quercetin also chelates iron. Like niacinamide, it also increases NAD+ levels but through a different mechanism. Rather than serving as a substrate to make NAD+, it helps to activate the rate limiting enzyme in the NAD+ salvage pathway, NAMPT, thus increasing NAD+ levels. Finally, it can also help with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Plant-Based Diets Essential Supplements
If you are eating a plant-based diet or you do eat animal foods but are avoiding any organ meats, which are some of the most nutrient dense foods that we know of, then please seriously consider adding these supplements to your regimen.
13. Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is likely the most important nutrient that is missing from a plant-based diet and it is absolutely essential that you take it if you choose not to eat animal foods. Left undetected and unaddressed, a vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal issues, limited nerve development, mood disturbances and much more.
But it is not only vegetarians that can be deficient in this important B vitamin. There are three factors are involved in the widespread B12 deficiency we’re seeing today:
Many people don’t have enough stomach acidity due to lower levels of pepsin secretion to release the vitamin B12 from dietary proteins.
Factory-farmed meat and poultry (the most common types consumed today) contain lower levels of vitamin B12.
Insufficient production of intrinsic factor, a special protein, required for B12 to be absorbed in your small intestine may be the result of aging or an autoimmune condition.
Your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells, maintain nerves, produce DNA and to carry out essential functions for your heart, arteries and veins, nervous system, brain and cognitive function. There’s no way you can enjoy optimal health without adequate B12 levels.
When you supplement with vitamin B12 be sure to choose the more biologically active, methylcobalamin, or “methyl B12,” is the most bioavailable and most absorbable form of vitamin B12. Avoid using the most common form of B12, cyanocobalamin.
14. Retinol (Vitamin A)
Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for many bodily functions, including vision, growth, cell division, reproduction and immunity. It is not to be confused with beta-carotene. Even though many nutritional labels conflate the two, they are completely different. Since many are unable to easily convert beta-carotene to vitamin A, it is important to make sure you are getting retinol not beta-carotene.
One of the most important benefits of retinol would be to help your body’s immune system and natural defense against illness and infection to work optimally. It also works synergistically with vitamin D with many similar benefits. Also, like vitamin E, retinol has anti-estrogenic properties.
Retinol is responsible for making the pigments in your eye’s retina, improves your vision and promotes good night vision. It also can help protect against cancer. It likely also improves skin health and helps keep your skin moist, and may help reduce the risk of skin and other cancers. Doses are typically from 5,000 to 10,000 I.U.s.
15. Copper
Copper is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells, the absorption of iron and the maintenance of nerve cells. Most importantly, it is vital to the proper functioning of your mitochondria so you can generate enough ATP.
Copper and its master protein, ceruloplasmin, are instrumental for mitochondrial function. Ceruloplasmin is what drives the copper into the mitochondria, and each mitochondrion needs about 50,000 atoms of copper to do its work.
There are five cytochrome complexes embedded in your inner mitochondrial membranes. Their purpose is to shuttle electrons created from the food you eat that is ultimately converted to acetyl-CoA to produce ATP. If these complexes are deficient in copper, you will not be able to generate enough cellular energy.
Despite its bad rap, most people are deficient in copper. To raise your copper level, you could use a copper bisglycinate supplement (about 4 to 8 mg), or foods like grass fed beef liver, and whole food vitamin C that has the enzyme tyrosinase which is loaded with copper. For additional information please review my podcast with Morley Robbins.
16. Zinc
Zinc plays many roles in your body. It is required for the healthy functioning of all your cells, tissues, organs and bones. Zinc is the second most abundant trace mineral in your body, coming in just after iron. It’s found in foods like beef, poultry, shellfish and mushrooms.
Zinc deficiency is not just an issue with vegetarians, but for those with GI and digestive disorders who can experience decreased zinc absorption. Those who eat seeds, grains, nuts and legumes that are loaded with phytates which can bind zinc and also prevent absorption, may also be deficient. Pregnant and nursing women require higher levels of zinc and those with excessive alcohol consumption also need extra zinc to metabolize the alcohol.
Researchers have discovered hundreds of ways zinc supports health in your body, and every year, they continue to discover more. In the last decade alone, there have been tens of thousands of studies investigating the roles zinc plays in promoting good health.
Zinc provides support for immune function, healthy cell growth, respiratory health and healthy metabolism. It also helps support brain health and healthy function of your taste, smell and vision.
One of the biggest challenges with zinc for people of any age is that zinc isn’t stored in your body, so you must consume the amount your body needs each and every day which is about 15 mg. If you are eating sufficient animal protein or organs, you should not need to supplement unless you are sick, as supplemental zinc can be quite useful to limit viral replication especially if taken with quercetin.
17. Vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is needed to activate the protein osteocalcin, which is found in your bones. Without vitamin K2, this and other vitamin K2-dependent proteins remain inactivated, and cannot perform their biological functions.30 Vitamin K2 also facilitates the transfer process of calcium from your arteries to your bone. Without it, your risk of arterial calcification increases. It does this by increasing the production of an important hormone for bone health, osteocalcin.
In one study, those who consumed foods with the highest amount of vitamin K2 were less likely to experience severe calcification in their arteries or less likely to die from heart disease over a seven- to 10-year period.31 Vitamin K2 also works in tandem with vitamin D and magnesium. As a rule, if you have osteoporosis, heart disease or diabetes, you’re likely deficient in vitamin K2.
If you are eating fermented foods such as natto, or vegetables fermented using a starter culture of vitamin K2-producing bacteria, then you may not need to take a supplement. Certain cheeses such as Brie, Munster and gouda, are also particularly high in K2, as are grass fed organic animal products such as egg yolks, liver, butter and dairy.
18. Collagen
Collagen, in addition to being rich in glycine, is well-known for its role in skin health, including helping mitigate age-related wrinkles.32 It may also reduce joint pain and stiffness33 while improving glucose tolerance34 and high blood pressure.35
My personal preference is to use a less denatured (unhydrolyzed) organic collagen supplement, as it has a more balanced amino acid profile or, better yet, simply boost your collagen intake by making homemade bone broth using bones and connective tissue from grass fed, organically raised animals.
19. L-Carnosine
Carnosine is a dipeptide composed of two amino acids: beta-alanine and histidine. It’s a potent antioxidant as it binds to advanced lipoxidation endproducts (ALEs) that are the result of oxidized seed oils in your diet. The highest concentrations of carnosine are found in your muscles and brain.
If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you will have lower levels of carnosine in your muscles. This is one reason why many strict vegans who do not properly compensate for this and other nutritional deficiencies tend to have trouble building muscle. Eating beef is known to efficiently raise carnosine levels in your muscle,36 which is why if you’re a vegetarian or vegan this supplement may be particularly important.

While methylene blue is clearly not a vitamin or mineral and is, in fact, the oldest known modern drug, I consider it an important and, in many cases, essential supplement for most because it is the best product out there to increase mitochondrial electron transport efficiency and your production of cellular energy currency or ATP. In simpler terms, most anyone who is fatigued or tired will benefit from using methylene blue.
Additionally, it is very inexpensive if you avoid buying it in foolish ways. If you purchase 1 ounce (25 grams) of the bulk powder it will last you over three years if you take 20 mg/day, which is a solid maintenance dose, but if you are tired you can easily double or triple that.
Twenty mg is a very small amount and is about half of one-sixty-fourth teaspoon. That would be a one-one hundred twenty-eighth teaspoon, but those are not available. Just be really careful, though, as methylene blue is a dye and will stain your countertop. It’s best to measure over a stainless-steel sink. A dose of 50 mg is best taken by putting one-sixty-fourth teaspoon into an empty gel cap, as it can irritate your mouth at higher concentrations.
When and how you take supplements — such as with or without food and in the morning or evening — can make a difference in their safety and effectiveness. For instance, fat-soluble vitamin K2 is best taken with your largest meal that contains fat, while magnesium, which helps your body relax, is best taken in the evening. In the infographic above, you can see a simple breakdown of some of the most common supplements and when it’s best to take them.
Four out of every 10 British families with children under the age of 12 have been replacing meat in their diet with carbohydrates such as pasta and bread to bulk out their meals and get more out of their money. 18% of Brits are buying fewer vegetables and fruits, and almost a third are purchasing less meat, according to Red Tractor.
The cost of food continues to rise in the UK, and the country’s food retailers have warned that price inflation will continue into the foreseeable future. The latest figures show grocery prices are now increasing at their fastest rate on record.
Figures provided by retail analyst Kantar found that grocery price inflation in the country reached a new record high of 16.7% in the four weeks that ended on January 22. This amounts to a nearly £ 800-pound increase on a typical yearly shopping bill. This is a notable increase from the 14.4% recorded in December and the highest level since figures were first tracked in 2008.
Some categories of food that have noted particularly sharp rises recently include eggs, milk and dog food. However, fruit, vegetables, sugar and alcohol have also noticed steep rises in the past month. According to Kantar, the price of basics such as cheese, milk, butter and bread is up 16.7% on a year-over-year basis. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports that olive oil has risen by nearly 40% in the last year, while low-fat milk is up 46% and sugar is up 38.5%.
People are turning to store-label products, cheap carbs and expired food to feed their families
In response to record-setting inflation, some supermarkets are expanding their store label ranges to provide customers with more value. In January, sales of store-label products climbed by 9.3%; sales of branded alternatives only rose by 1%.
Four out of every 10 British families with children under the age of 12 have been replacing meat in their diet with carbohydrates such as pasta and bread to bulk out their meals and get more out of their money. 18% of Brits are buying fewer vegetables and fruits, and almost a third are purchasing less meat, according to Red Tractor.
Another way some people are making ends meet is by eating food that is well past its use-by date. According to the ONS, almost one in five adults say they have eaten food that was beyond its use-by date, which indicates when perishable food can safely be consumed. This is despite the Food Standards Agency warning that individuals should never eat food after this date – even if it smells or looks acceptable – because it could result in serious illness.
The ONS also found that 15% of adults are somewhat or very worried that they will run out of food before they can afford to purchase more. It also revealed that Brits are struggling to stay warm amid the higher costs of energy, with nearly a quarter of those polled saying that they struggled to stay comfortably warm during the previous two weeks.
Discount grocery chains like ALDI and Lidl have noted rising sales. For the fourth month in a row, ALDI was the country’s fastest-growing grocer, noting sales that were 26.9% higher year on year and taking a 9.2% share of the market. Sales at Lidl climbed by 24.1%; they took a market share of 7.1%. Meanwhile, the sales at bigger rivals like Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco only saw increases of 6%; sales at Morrisons dropped by 1.9%.
It’s bad news for Brits who are already struggling with inflation across the board. The Bank of England recently raised interest rates for the 10th time in a row, which is pushing monthly mortgage payments higher; its 0.5 percent rise places rates at 4%, which is the highest level seen since the financial crisis of 2008. A further rise to 4.25% is widely expected next month.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund has forecasted that the British economy will shrink this year and experience the poorest performance out of all developed countries, including Russia. The news isn’t much better in the U.S., where the prices of many foods have risen exponentially as well.
The whole gender fluid movement in America has millions of people addicted to pornography, as they watch to decide which gender they will “be” today, which gender they will have sex with next, and how many different genders there are to try out. Any kid subjected to a Disney movie or the Drag Queen Story Hour isn’t far from being a porn addict.Did you know artificial sweeteners make you HUNGRIER and make you crave sweets even more? Most people have no clue about this. Which is worse, being addicted to sugar (cancer’s favorite food) or artificial sweeteners (cancer’s other favorite food)? If you’re obese, you’re probably already battling cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. That’s a tough road to go down.
Immediate gratification, over-indulgence, and just plain lack of consumer knowledge have the majority of Americans addicted to and enslaved by health-damaging, mind-numbing compulsions. Are all of these folks brainwashed by Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Tech and Hollywood? One infamous example is how the medical industrial complex conned millions of Americans into believing that cigarettes and vaccines are good for health. The cigarette con started in the 1930s, and the vaccine con began in the 1950s. You could say these addictions are even ‘inherited’ and passed on from generation to generation. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though.
Now, with the Demon Dems (Extreme liberal Democrats) running the country from their porn hub in Washington DC (pun on Hunter Biden laptop), ethics and morals have all been flushed down the toilet, with madness ensuing. Opiate drugs, including fentanyl, are being imported across the US Southern border as if they were legal. The Biden administration funded homeless drug addicts with monthly subsidy checks, free crack pipes (to “fund racial equity”), and free food money in all the metropolitan hell-holes, like Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago, to name a few.
mRNA vaccines weaken the immune system, forcing it to rely on more spike proteins for artificial, short-lived immunity to all things Covid
Over 270 million Americans rushed to be injected with the “emergency only” experimental Fauci Flu jabs in order to save their own lives from the deadliest, most contagious virus to ever travel around the planet. Well, so they thought. The media frenzy and fear-based propaganda machine totally worked and conned these sick, naïve, brainwashed sheeple to do the unthinkable – rely on Big Pharma to save them from something Big Pharma created in a lab on purpose to infect them. Oops.
Now, each clot shot booster weakens each human even more, setting them up like bowling pins to be knocked down and out by the next variant of a variant. The new sub-human spike androids are even lining up for their seasonal mercury injections (flu shots) to make matters even worse. It’s a physical and psychological addiction, and there’s only one sure way for them to break free from the vaccine holocaust – and that’s SADS.
Illness goes hand in hand with depravity and addiction
The whole gender fluid movement in America has millions of people addicted to pornography, as they watch to decide which gender they will “be” today, which gender they will have sex with next, and how many different genders there are to try out. Any kid subjected to a Disney movie or the Drag Queen Story Hour isn’t far from being a porn addict.

Top 10 addictions and the scary US statistics
Opiates – Over 3 million Americans are currently addicted.
Cocaine (including crack-cocaine) -More than 2 million Americans addicted.
Crystal Meth (methamphetamine psycho-stimulants) – Up to 3 million Americans addicted.
Sugar – Around 250 million Americans overeat sugar daily, many are addicted (especially the obese).
Covid “Vaccines” – Approximately 227 million Americans are “fully vaccinated” for Covid and may be addicted forever as their immune systems become reliant on more boosters (ADE and vaccine-induced-immune-deficiency syndrome).
Artificial Sweeteners – Consumers who drink more than 3 diet drinks a day (or snacks) containing aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, neotame, acesulfame potassium.
Pornography – More than 10% of all American adults meet the classification of porn addiction (by admission).
Alcohol – Close to 14 million Americans, or about 1 in every 13, abuse alcohol or are considered “alcoholics.”

The researchers found that when brain cells were exposed to ar-turmerone, neural stem cells increased in number, and the newly formed neural stem cells also increased the number of fully differentiated neuronal cells, which means regeneration was taking place. This effect was also observed in rats injected with ar-turmerone.
One of the most versatile healing spices in the world, turmeric has over 800 health benefits and is just as effective as 14 different kinds of drugs but without their adverse effects.
Turmeric has been of great interest in recent years, especially its active component curcumin, which gives it a rich golden hue. However, curcumin alone is not enough to explain the medicinal capabilities of this spice as a whole.
A study has found that another important component of turmeric, called aromatic turmerone (ar-turmerone), can be a promising candidate to support the regeneration of the brain. The study by German researchers evaluated the effects of this compound on neural stem cells (NSCs), which is a subgroup of brain cells that are capable of continuous self-renewal required for brain repair.

This effect was also observed in rats injected with ar-turmerone.
Parkinson’s is also a degenerative disease caused by the selective death of neurons, resulting in decreased dopamine production. While treatments such as dopamine supplements are available, there is no way to inhibit dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Previous studies also reported that the inflammatory response caused by the activation of microglia is observed in the midbrain of Parkinson’s disease patients. Thus, researchers find ar-turmerone to be a major component of turmeric that could exhibit anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects on the microglia.
Due to the ability of ar-turmerone to increase the proliferation and mobilization of NSCs, the ability of turmeric to treat a variety of neurodegenerative diseases is huge. Alzheimer’s, dementia and other neurological disease are driven in part by neurodegenerative activity in the brain and central nervous system.
While it is still in its early stages, the potential for turmeric to mitigate or reverse some of the effects of neurodegenerative diseases is promising.
Other health benefits of turmeric
Turmeric also helps the body fight foreign agents and plays a role in repairing damages. Curcumin found in turmeric is as effective as other over-the-counter drugs in bringing down inflammation to the point of reducing the pain that people suffering from arthritis can feel in their joints.
This superfood also gained popularity for its antioxidant properties, and it is believed to have antioxidant properties so powerful that it can protect the liver from getting damaged by toxins. The antioxidant properties of turmeric provide protection against the damage that can be done to the body by unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals).
The components of turmeric also have the ability to increase the secretion of bile and the production of liver enzymes, giving the spice a liver-protective effect against the toxins in the body. Moreover, animal studies showed that turmeric can lower blood cholesterol levels and prevent the coagulation of blood platelets. (Related: Comparing the effects of turmeric and turmeric-containing herbal tablets on skin barrier function.)
Indian spices like turmeric are also known to help with weight loss. It can help balance the stress hormones, which cause sudden weight gain, by reducing the formation of fat tissue. (Related: Understanding the phytochemical power of turmeric.)
Turmeric is commonly used in culinary dishes, but it can also be used as a colorant and preservative. It is safe in recommended doses, but it should not be taken in high doses by people with gallstones to avoid hindering the flow of the bile – a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
Dr. Gupta got in trouble with the medical establishment when he was ‘misunderstood’. What he meant was ‘prevent’ cancer, not ‘cure’ cancer. Of course, he is banned on Youtube. Yet, he can be found on FB, the censoring network of robotic algorithms, and I don’t mean the robots.
(1). The first step is to stop eating sugar, when there is no sugar in the body, cancer cells die naturally.
(2). The second step is a glass of lemon juice mixed with a glass of warm water and after about 1 month the cancer cells will decrease, drinking hot lemon juice can prevent cancer. Just don’t put any sugar in it. Hot lemon juice is more beneficial than cold lemon juice. A study from the University of Maryland found that natural medicines are 1,000 times better than chemicals.
(3). The third step is to reduce the risk of cancer by using 3 tablespoons of organic coconut oil in the morning and night.

-I tried to convert as much as I could. I hope you like it
I don’t mean to be mean but why do they all look unhealthy? Not good for public perception. Don’t forget these people have access to the best mind programming on the planet, so why is this?
As someone who’s lived through alcoholism, and has tried on the lie that a little alcohol won’t hurt all that much, I’ve learned that it’s just not for me. When I’m free of alcohol my life is simply better. There’s a profound sense of mental and spiritual clarity that continues to deepen with each day of sobriety.
As a self-mastery and self-sabotage coach, I work with a lot of truth seekers. Now, there’s geopolitical truth, and there’s spiritual truth. Most of my clients and contacts tend to overlap the two to some degree, which creates somewhat of a sense of discordance or dissonance in their lives.
On the one hand, they hold the view that life is a spiritual journey in a temporary meat sack, and the events, situations, and circumstances revealed in the 3D world are a kind of simulation or matrix. In this view, spiritual clarity is of utmost importance so that one does not find themselves too attached to the distractions and diversions constantly competing for their attention.
They know that ‘keeping their eye on the prize,’ so to speak, is the best way to avoid the trap of lower consciousness, which is practically described by the emotional states of fear, apathy, anger, resentment, worry, concern, anxiety, and overwhelm.
On the other hand, they’re drawn to endlessly ‘research’ the dark side of the world, insatiably following the narratives and missives of the NWO, cabal, cartel, evil-doers, or whatever ‘they’ are to be called. Immersed in this dark reality, they find it impossible to live steadily in higher consciousness, which is practically described by the emotional states of courage, neutrality, acceptance, willingness, reason, love, and joy.
It’s a tough edge to balance, living in two worlds, the truth seeker’s dilemma, and I’ve noticed that the distance between these two spaces resembles a void of sorts. In this void they are neither living with a sense of great purpose and inspiration, nor do they succumb to the psychosis, hypnosis, madness, ignorance, cruelty, inhumanity, and stupidity, that grips so many would-be fine humans.
They don’t fully engage in the glorified self-destruction and self-sabotage that the advertising and television/film industries force feed us.
But neither do they fly high above the madness and into their rightful potential.
They live in the middle, and the one thing I see over and again that keeps them there in the chasm is alcohol. Just a glass of wine a day. Or a beer. Just a wee bit to take the edge off.
And so they stay on the edge.
Over the years we’ve published a number of impactful articles about the physical and spiritual impacts of alcohol, and it’s always been a topic that garners loads of page views and comments.
Yet here we are, still drinking. Because that’s what ‘they’ want us to do.
Rather than write up a detailed synopsis of this excellent, rational presentation by Dr. Andrew Huberman, I’ll just drop this here for your consumption, in case you’re still on the fence and your analytical mind needs more convincing. We’ll call it one more shot fired against the forces of self-destruction.

Habitual tea drinkers have a reason to rejoice: Research has found that drinking tea every day may increase a person’s life span.
According to a prospective cohort study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, drinking tea three or more times a week helps improve cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of death from all causes.
Chinese researchers studied over 100,000 healthy individuals with no history of heart attack, stroke or cancer. They split them into two groups: those who drank tea and those who didn’t. After follow-ups of an average of 7 years, the researchers concluded that habitual tea drinkers are less likely to develop heart diseases by 20 percent. They are also less likely to die from heart disease and stroke by 22 percent, and of other causes by 15 percent.
Following their initial study, the researchers assessed over 14,000 individuals who kept their tea-drinking habits and found that they enjoyed more benefits, including lowered risk for fatal heart attack, disease, and stroke by 56 percent.
