2023. Confirmation bias. Echo chambers. Thought cults. I will not tolerate your intolerance. 😂

Dr Lee Meritt was recently talking about this great book "The Devil's Poison: How fluoride is killing you" Paperback – July 11, 2008 From the book page on amazon: Fluoride and fluoridation will go down as one of the greatest controversies of the 20th century. Up until the early 1940's, fluorine's effect on life was always deemed poisonous. It was proven to be altering enzymes used by living organisms to carry out a multitude of essential processes. Fluorine, the most reactive element on the planet, is also the strongest free radical. Scientists in the 1930's and 1940's experimented with this element to create the most deadly nerve gasses, rocket fuel, and radioactive U235 for the bomb. As a wood preservative, rodentcide and insecticide, fluorine compounds are second to none. As an Orthodontist, I began investigating the increasingly prevalent lines and spots that I saw on the enamel of children. Like rings on a tree, they indicate excessive fluorine exposure. I started to ask the question, "How does fluorine cause these marks?" Chronic doses of fluoride, like arsenic and lead, accumulate in our bodies causing a blockage in the way cells breathe and leads to the malformation of collagen. Cancer, diabetes, thyroid and neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, heart disease, arthritis and osteoporosis have all been linked to chronic fluoride ingestion. We are now exposed to increasing doses of fluoride from toothpaste, rinses, water, food, medicines, showering, bathing, and even the air that we breathe. Our environment has become a literal fluoride dumping ground. This book explores many chronic diseases that plague man today and looks at the scientists that connected these diseases to chronic exposures of fluoride.

This is what water parks looked like when I was a kid. Never forget what they did to us with the food propaganda... the food pyramid nonsense. "Avoid saturated fats" and "6-11 servings of bread, pasta and cereal a day" would make anyone overweight in a hurry.

Modern medicine has come a long way, there’s no doubt about it. But our ancient ancestors had an in-depth understanding of how to use food and plants as medicine and this wisdom still holds true today.

Dr. Josh Axe joined me on a past episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy to talk more about how ancient remedies can help us create the vibrant health we deserve and avoid lifelong health struggles.

I always talk about the power of plant foods—Dr. Axe and I expanded on that conversation with a deeper look at herbs and spices for healing chronic disease. He explains the Chinese medicine perspective of balancing chi and some chronic conditions that can occur due to this energetic imbalance.

We discussed the Western approach to medication, common nutrient deficiencies caused by certain medications, and alternative or complementary therapies that can help us avoid a lifelong dependency on medications.

The decision to wear a mask isn’t as simple as yes or no. For some, it’s a full-on battle with their mental health.

Distraction is like mental pollution. Nothing quite goes the way you want it to.

I've written before that one of the biggest trends of the 21st century will be this battle for our attention against the devices and software that have become so good at hijacking it from us. Our technology is both the best and worst thing about our daily lives. It's up to us to make sure we're using the technology and the technology isn't using us.

Last year's most popular article was a long piece I did about what I call "The Attention Diet," a step-by-step process to implement a lot of these practices. Check it out at https://mrk.mn/381e3gq

What steps have you taken to manage your attention?
