Simply raise your HDL

By Bob Livingston

The cholesterol bogy has been used for several decades to terrify a whole population. For many years, cholesterol levels were considered the ultimate measure of health and fitness in America. Suppressing cholesterol is not about health. It's about making money, and the people who created the cholesterol myth did so to make trillions of dollars — and they are making it sure as the sun came up this morning. I have been telling my readers for many years that high cholesterol and a bad ratio of HDL and LDL is not in itself bad health. It is only a marker of a health problem. Suppressing cholesterol in total is like placing something over your car's oil change light to prevent the motor from failing. This is pitiful nonsense, but you know literally millions of people along with their doctors are thoroughly indoctrinated with this myth. People are paying $600 a month for statin drugs (to lower cholesterol) that are offending their health far more than elevated cholesterol. I feel sure that a lot of old folks are using their grocery money to buy these drugs despite what Medicare will pay. If you want to protect your heart, ignore the advice to drive your total cholesterol down to nothing. This removes the benefits cholesterol has for your brain and longevity, and destroys the protective effect of HDL. The famous Framingham Heart Study says that simply raising your HDL lowers your risk of heart attack down to less than 1 percent for those with the highest HDL. This smallest of the lipoproteins is called such because HDL is made up of a lipid coating that has inside of it a protein called apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1). Scientists, if not actual medical doctors, are at least beginning to recognize the power of HDL's components to protect the heart regardless of LDL level or any other nonsense. If you look at the largest study of its kind at the time, the AMORIS (Apolipoprotein-related MOrtality RISk) study, published in that most prestigious of all mainstream health journals, The Lancet, and funded by none other than a pharmaceutical itself, AstraZeneca, you will see that they admit lowering cholesterol in general is not helpful in preventing heart attacks, but that high "ApoA1 had a protective function both in men and women." Of course this was not reported on at the time because it doesn't coincide with the desire to sell cholesterol lowering drugs. However it does reveal that you want to get your body to build more apolipoprotein A1 so that you can protect your health with higher HDL cholesterol. The two best ways I know of to raise HDL are not with any drug created in a lab by mankind. They are with the powerful herbs Ashwaghanda and Kalonji — which is also called black cumin seed oil, or "Golden Oil." Ashwaganda is an ancient Indian herb (also known by its Latin name Withania somnifera) that will raise HDL. Several clinical trials have shown that using just 250 milligrams twice daily, you can get significant improvements along with very beneficial changes in blood biochemistry, including triglycerides down 11.7 percent, LDL cholesterol down 17.4 percent and HDL (good) cholesterol up 17.3 percent. These results suggest that the regular intake of Ashwaganda will increase your life expectancy by reducing those risk factors associated with chronic issues and heart inflammation and stress. Ashwagandha leaf extract might also be labeled Indian ginseng or winter cherry. It's an adaptogen, meaning that it gives you a general sense of well-being, but also, your body uses it only as needed, so you can take up to 500 mg twice a day as a supplement. Dried ashwagandha root powder should be organic and if you add it to tea just add some honey for taste. You can also use Golden Oil (Nigella sativa or black cumin seed extract) to increase HDL rapidly. The pods of the Nigella sativa plant, known as kalonji in Southeast Asia and Golden Oil in the Middle East, are the source of black seeds. In several different studies, black seed extract raised HDL from 44 to an astonishing 80 in just 20 weeks. In another clinical trial, 92 people took just 1 gram a day for 12 weeks and it greatly enhanced their HDL. But when they got 2 grams a day, the results multiplied. "Patients ingested 2 g/day NS displayed a significant decline in total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-c, and a significant elevation in HDL-c..." You can get golden oil as a cold-pressed oil of the seeds, and you can certainly use the oil in your cooking and get some every day that way. However I prefer the capsules because you will know the potency and purity when you get it from a reputable source, and you know the dose you are getting. For example, golden oil has more benefits to the immune system and total body health than I ever knew, but discovering that 2 grams a day has an increased beneficial effect for HDL means I want to make sure I get that amount each day.

“Gosnell: America’s Biggest Serial Killer”

Left-wing media, entertainment elites panic to censor new abortion film “Gosnell: America’s Biggest Serial Killer”

(Natural News) In May 2013, following a two-month trial and two weeks of deliberation, a jury convicted Philadelphia abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell on multiple counts of first-degree murder for killing three babies born alive at his westside clinic by severing their spinal cords.

While acquitting him of third-degree murder for the 2009 death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar of Virginia, who died from a drug overdose during an abortion procedure at his clinic, the jury nevertheless found him guilty of a lesser charge of manslaughter. He was given three life sentences.

The Washington Post reported at the time:

Gosnell, in a dark suit and a maroon shirt, furrowed his brow and shook his head slightly but remained stoic when the verdicts were read in a packed Philadelphia courtroom just before 3 p.m. One juror appeared to cry. Prosecutors smiled in relief and later hugged colleagues.

The jury also acquitted him of murder in the death of another infant, known as Baby E, whom prosecutors had struggled to prove was alive after delivery. Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart previously dismissed three additional first-degree murder charges against Gosnell, each involving other infants.

Before the trial prosecutors were fairly certain that Gosnell had killed many more babies than he was charged for, but they simply did not have enough proof, so they didn’t pursue additional charges. When it was all said and done, however, they came to believe that Gosnell was one of America’s biggest serial killers.

Now, a new film set for release tells this grisly story, including how arrogant Gosnell was during the investigation and subsequent trial. And while the movie doesn’t take a hard pro-life stance – it’s not political – the Left is nevertheless terrified of the impression it will leave in the minds of millions of Americans who see it, especially now that there is a rock-solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

As such, the usual suspects – big tech, the mainstream media, and the Left-wing entertainment industry – are doing all they can to censor the movie, “Gosnell: America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” because, you know, they’re all about the First Amendment when it isn’t being used to skewer one of the Left’s sacred cows.

As Infowars notes, Facebook has already refused to allow filmmakers to advertise the film on their platform. And one of the more popular crowdfunding sites, Kickstarter, have refused them as well. In addition, National Public Radio (which is taxpayer-funded) also refused to carry ads for the film.

NPR’s problem with the ads? They won’t allow filmmakers to call Gosnell two things that honestly and truthfully describe him: An “abortionist” and a “murderer.”

Besides these censorship efforts, the filmmakers have also been stopped from showing the film in private screenings.

The Left is afraid of the truth about Gosnell and abortion

The film, directed by Nick Searcy, produced by Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, and stars Dean Cain of “Superman” fame, is based on Gosnell’s 30-year abortion practice as well as the political media establishment that tried to cover up his crimes. It was announced in 2014, less than a year after Gosnell was convicted. It opened Friday, Oct. 12.

The story begins with Cain’s character, Philly police Det. James Wood, as he and fellow officers serve a search warrant for drugs and other paraphernalia at a building housing Gosnell’s clinic over suspicions of illegal prescription drug sales. As officers search the premises, Det. Wood and others detect a strong, foul odor – rotting flesh – from an office. Once they get inside, they make gruesome discoveries including parts of babies kept in jars. (Related: Patricia Heaton takes new role as pro-life activist for OneLife LA Rally.)

From there the film expertly captures the charged atmosphere that quickly built around the case: The legal questions, issues of race (Gosnell is black; Cain’s character is white and Catholic), pro-life, pro-choice, and other cultural, social, and political issues.

“Everyone needs to see the Gosnell movie, particularly young people,” noted Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List. “I can’t recommend this movie more strongly. The Gosnell movie faces viewers with the brutality and inhumanity of abortion and it achieves this in a movie that looks as good as any Hollywood film. This movie will change hearts and minds about abortion. It needs to be available widely.”

Added Kristan Hawkins with Students for Life of America, “After watching the Gosnell movie, I’m angry, I’m sad, and I’m more motivated than ever to end abortion. Every American should watch GOSNELL. If pro-choice, they need to watch it and be able to defend their beliefs. If pro-life, they need to watch it and ask themselves why they aren’t active in ending this atrocity. This movie should be screened on every college campus in our nation.”

But of course, Americans will have to actually see it to know and understand its impact and why it’s so important at this point in our history. And the truth-hating Left is doing all it can to prevent that from happening.

Weed killer found in wine

By Bob Livingston

Weed killer found in wine 

Just two years ago a lawsuit was filed against 31 brands of wines for containing high levels of arsenic.

You read that right... arsenic... the poison used to kill rats.

And now an herbicide known as glyphosate (weed killer) has been found in all of the most popular brands of wines in the world, the majority of which are from the U.S., and in batch test results in American beer.

You may be wondering how in the world all of that wine and beer could become so contaminated.

But if you're a regular reader, I bet you already guessed the answer: Monsanto's Roundup^®.

Roundup, which some farmers use to kill the weeds that compete with their crops, was tested by a French biologist, and his findings prove that of all the Roundup products they tested, over a dozen had high levels of arsenic.

That's over five times the allowable limit.

But arsenic wasn't the only thing he found. Those Roundup samples were also sporting dangerous levels of heavy metals.

So when those farmers and vineyards spray Roundup on their vines or grain crops for beer to keep the weeds away, they're actually riddling their end products (the wine and beer you drink) with compounds that have proven to be neurotoxic, hormone-disrupting cancer causers.

Now, before you throw up your hands and write this off as just one more mountain made out of a molehill, you should know that the wines tested were found to have glyphosate residues of 23.30 part per billion with some independent beer brands at 13.6 parts per billion. Studies have demonstrated that it only takes one part per trillion to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells.

In order to avoid this dangerous contamination, the first step is to switch to organic wine and beer options. The grapes, barley and hops used to make the drinks by these vendors are not being directly sprayed with Roundup like many conventional brands.

However, making the move to organic is not enough.

That's because polluted irrigation water, soil and even pesticides in rain can contaminate vineyards and crops thousands of miles away from fields using the weed killer.

So if you're a wine or beer lover and don't want to avoid these occasional pleasures, you need to take steps to rid your body of that glyphosate, with its high levels of arsenic and other heavy metals.

In today's contaminated environment, detoxing should be a way of life. There are a couple of ways to do it.

One way is a lemonade cleanse. For this option, you will drink six 16 oz. bottles a day of a very specific mixture as follows, daily:

• Water — nearly fill up bottle but leave room

• Juice from a fresh squeezed lemon or lime

• Grade B maple syrup to desired taste

• Cayenne pepper — a pinch or more depending on taste

This is all the "food" you'll have for three to 14 days. I've never managed to make it past three days.

Another way is a juice fast using freshly juiced fruits and veggies, as well as soup broths and herbal teas for the same time period or time. I prefer to do this on a regular basis, at least seasonally. But again, three days is about all I can manage.

So if you're shaking your head right now, wondering if there is possibly an easier way... one where you don't have to starve yourself, there's EDTA.

If you haven't heard of EDTA before, here's what you need to know.

EDTA is an amino acid (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid). It's used to latch onto heavy metals, like arsenic, to carry them out of your body (a process called chelation).

And it works. EDTA is regularly used to chelate lead and other contaminants from the body. The really cool thing about it is that EDTA is used in baby food as a preservative. So that helps you understand how gentle and safe it is.

I've been taking an EDTA supplement for a while now and prefer Peak Chelation+ Resveratrol™. I consider it "maintenance detoxing" because it allows me feel like I'm keeping myself "clean" and only need to do a lemonade cleanse or juice fast a couple of times a year.

War on Nutrition

By Bob Livingston

In 1939 while Hitler was attacking Poland with military warfare, in the United States the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared biological warfare on the American people by making it mandatory to add synthetic vitamins to white flour, which became known as "enriched" flour.  The history books are full of details of Hitler's invasion, but not one word of the biological warfare by the FDA on the American people. Hitler's war ended. Biological warfare against the American people is still going on. This is a war of processed foods, chemical preservatives and sweeteners. Then when we get sick and debilitated, we are subjected to the drug warfare of the medical establishment. We look out on the landscape and we see symbiotic partners of the medical monopoly which includes the U.S. Government and the huge commercial food industry that creates those beautifully packaged "foods" that we buy at the supermarket, which foods are mostly devoid of nutrition. Nutritional deficiencies eventually translate into degenerative disease that feeds the medical machine. With what result? With the most expensive medical system in the history of the world, we are at an all-time high of deaths due to heart disease, cancer and stroke. The American people are helpless, sick and weak. They have been sold into dependence on government and science. Not one in a thousand will take the responsibility for their own health. Our immune function is getting weaker and weaker. Heart disease and cancer are nutritional deficiency diseases and silent starvation. Before 1918 and the widespread use of white bleached flour, there was no mention of heart attack as a disease. But today, after decades of chemical farming, we are a people on nutritional starvation. Biological warfare, under any other name, would be no worse. There are two kinds of starvation. Of course, one starvation comes about because of no food at all. The second and more insidious starvation is malnutrition over a period of time. Many seniors today die of pneumonia and the medical establishment can do nothing about it because they refuse to recommend nutrition instead of drugs. It has been well established over decades that no one will die of flu or pneumonia as long as they have vitamin C in the body. Dr. Alfred Hess, head of the Hebrew Infant Asylum in New York, established the fact before WWI that vitamin deficiency is the cause of heart disease, pneumonia, grippe, nasal diphtheria, scurvy, beri beri and many other named diseases. Heart disease and pneumonia are specific deficiency diseases. There is a second problem with malnutrition. It has to do with the great illusion and myth that synthetic vitamins and/or natural isolated vitamins will supplement one's diet and support the immune system as well as general good health. An isolated food factor or "vitamin" is a product of pharmacology and chemistry. A synthetic, isolated food factor is not food and certainly not nutrition. The science of food today is based on chemistry. There is a commercial vitamin industry in America, producing and selling counterfeit vitamins. They are riding high on public gullibility with the deception that isolated food factors or synthetic vitamins are nutritional and healthy. The simple answer to all this is whole food complexes that are live foods which contain live nutrition for live people. Medicine is in our food if we know where to find the natural foods. Let me recommend to you the humble carrot. Carrots contain many important nutrients, including beta carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium and potassium. The human body does a neat trick with beta carotene and changes it into vitamin A, which is very important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy growth of the cells. Beta carotene also boosts the immune system and is a very potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation and lipid (fat) oxidation. All of these conditions could lead to a variety of degenerative diseases. Another very important carotenoid found in carrots is alpha carotene. According to Michiaki Murakoshi, a biochemist at Japan's Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, alpha carotene may be more powerful than beta carotene in inhibiting processes that may lead to tumor growth. It has been shown that cancer cells coated with carotenoids experience a decreased ability for formation and growth. Fresh fruits and vegetables like the carrot are very rich in enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body; they are essential for the digestion and absorption of food as well as for the production of cellular energy. Enzymes are essential for most of the building and rebuilding that goes on constantly in our bodies. Unfortunately, when foods are cooked, enzymes can be destroyed. For this reason, raw foods and juices are very important for good health and our most potent weapon against the nutritional war being waged against us. Ideally, many people believe that we should only eat raw foods, but the reality is that this is nearly impossible for most of us. The answer, as is often the case, is a matter of balance. Balance your diet so that the scales do tip in the direction of raw fruits and vegetables.

Chemical cleaners are like smoking a pack a day

By Bob Livingston

If you use simple, natural cleaners, keeping your house clean is helping you stay healthy by reducing your exposure to dust, mold and bacteria. But if you're using chemical cleaners the risks might outweigh the benefits.

These cleaners contain harsh agents like bleach, ammonia, chlorine and 2-butoxyethanol, which have a negative effect on your health, especially your lungs.

A recent study published in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that using chemical cleaners long-term could damage your lungs just as much as smoking.

The 20-year study included over 6,000 people who received lung function measurements and completed questionnaires about their cleaning habits.

Men and women who cleaned a lot ended up with respiratory health problems. Men who cleaned at home were more likely to have asthma. But women got the worst end of the stick in this scenario. Women who worked as cleaners or cleaned regularly at home damaged their lungs just as bad as if they had smoked 20 cigarettes per day for 10 to 20 years.

Researchers tested their lung function by seeing how much air study participants could breathe out. And after 20 years of regular cleaning, ladies had the lung function of heavy smokers.

A 2017 study from Harvard University and French National Institute of Health and Medical Research found that using bleach and other disinfectants weekly increases your risk of COPD by 30 percent. COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is an inflammatory lung disease that makes it hard to breathe.

You might recognize the two most common types, emphysema and bronchitis.

Harsh cleaning products are terrible for lung function because the chemicals irritate the lungs' delicate mucous membranes. If you irritate these mucous membranes frequently and long enough, it eventually damages your lungs and causes your airways to narrow, making it difficult to breathe.

Alternatives to chemical cleaners

Most of the time a microfiber cloth and some water will do the trick. My wife uses vinegar to clean nearly everything, and it's exceptional by itself. If you want something more powerful, there are many of natural cleaners on the market, but they're expensive. So you can make your own...

• You can mix nine parts water with one part vinegar for a natural all-purpose cleaner. 
  
• For any countertop that can't take anything acidic being put on it, like granite, use a mixture of alcohol, natural dishsoap, essential oil and water. 
  
• You can mix 2 cups of water with 1/4 teaspoon of tea-tree oil and lavender oil for an easy DIY mildew remover.
  
• My colleague Dr. Mark Wiley recommends mixing baking soda and water for a kitchen cleaner that washes dishes, cleans counters and stovetops. Just add four tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of warm water.
