This! What energy, space, and consciousness are YOU generating into the world.

Have you been tricked, doped, misled into projecting everything you don't want in the world? So many over the last decade, I've seen switch from being generators of love... To generators of pure hate.

What does this do to your cells? Think Emoto's water experiments. We are mostly water. This reflects back into spirit.

🌲 The Science-Backed Power of Nature: How Time in Forests May Support Immune Health & Cancer Defense

Did you know that spending time among trees isn't just relaxing—it's potentially boosting your body's natural defenses at a cellular level?

Research led by Dr. Qing Li (Nippon Medical School, Japan) has shown that "forest bathing" (shinrin-yoku) — simply being in a forested environment — can significantly increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, a key part of our immune system that targets virus-infected cells and tumor cells.

Key findings from peer-reviewed studies (2007–2009):

• Exposure to phytoncides (natural antimicrobial compounds released by trees like pine and cypress) raised NK cell activity by up to ~50% in small controlled groups.

• This boost persisted for 7–30 days after exposure — far longer than simple relaxation.

• Controlled experiments confirmed the effect: city walks showed no immune enhancement, while inhaling vaporized tree essential oils in urban settings replicated the NK cell activation.

Even more intriguing: A 2008 analysis across all Japanese prefectures found that higher forest coverage correlated with lower standardized mortality ratios for several cancers (e.g., lung, breast, prostate, colon), even after adjusting for smoking and socioeconomic factors.

While larger-scale trials are still needed to establish direct causality, these studies highlight how nature exposure may offer meaningful, accessible support for immune resilience and overall well-being.

In our high-stress, screen-heavy world, a walk in the woods might be one of the simplest, most evidence-informed ways to invest in long-term health.

Have you experienced the restorative effects of time in nature? I'd love to hear your thoughts below.

Tonight when I got home, noticed this interesting pattern in the bottom of my coffee cup (pictured). Sent the picture to a few friends, and one suggested to have AI do a " " reading on it.

This information/data is HUGE - and a fairly big shift from about a decade ago.

We’ve lacked poll that addresses curiosities everyone has over medical issues. Health Freedom Defense Fund and Brownstone Institute initiated poll.

Friends & community—

With HF 362 (massage & Asian bodywork licensure bill) heading to a hearing Monday 2/23 in the MN House Health Finance & Policy Committee, I want to share why I'm strongly opposed—as a Traditional Naturopath practicing under MN Statute 146A since 2008 (journey started 1999).

This bill claims "public safety" but creates barriers:

• Prohibitive 625-hour education ignores rigorous training in cultural modalities like Ayurvedic Massage, Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi—protected under 146A.

• Economic data shows no real income boost from licensure (MN unlicensed wages similar to licensed WI), yet adds fees & costs that hurt part-timers.

• On trafficking: Data (National Human Trafficking Hotline 2007-2021) shows no reduction in licensed states—often higher % linked to "massage" fronts. AMTA & ABMP say it's a false fix that burdens ethical practitioners.

• 146A's Client Bill of Rights is superior: Full disclosure of my training/philosophy empowers YOU to choose & partner in your wellness journey—asking questions, collaborating—not just trusting a state stamp.

This is my personal perspective as an independent practitioner (current Advisory Board Chair for Integrative Health & Healing at Anoka-Ramsey CC, former Vice-Chair to the Twin Cities Holistic Chamber of Commerce, etc.). It does NOT represent any orgs I've been part of.

I urge you: Contact committee members (Co-Chairs Backer & Bierman) & your reps—ask them to vote NO & preserve MN's inclusive, transparent model under 146A.

👣One step forward... 300 steps back.

Take a close look at this powerful visual—it's a stark reminder of how pervasive glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) has become in our food system. From proteins and healthy fats to dairy, fruits, veggies, and whole grains, residues are showing up across the board.

What's the real issue with ? Emerging research points to serious concerns:

• Disruption of the gut microbiome: Studies show low-dose exposure (even near accepted daily intake levels) can deplete beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while promoting inflammation and altering gut homeostasis.

• Impacts on the environmental/soil biome: Glyphosate affects soil microbes critical for nutrient cycling and plant health, potentially reducing food nutrient quality and ecosystem resilience.

• Potential links to increased cancer risks: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" based on limited human evidence and stronger animal data—though agencies like the EPA disagree on the strength of the link. There is also newer studies coming out with strong links.

Bottomline: Bad soil biome = less nutrient-dense food, poor building blocks and impaired repair processes for our bodies. Poor gut biome = cascading negative effects on our health and immunity.

We deserve better—cleaner farming practices, more transparency, and food that truly nourishes us. What are your thoughts? Have you switched to organic or regenerative sources to minimize exposure? Let's discuss below. ⤵️
