Today's Health Awareness Tip 1259: Testing our Mitochondria!

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that most of our "ailments" in life . . . are due to our "Mitochondria" not functioning correctly.

And that medicine . . . conventional and/or alternative . . . are too quick to "treat" the symptoms we have . . . instead of fixing to the ROOT cause . . .

Which would be . . .

The "malfunction" of the MECHANICS of the body . . . our "Mitochondria" . . .

Okay . . . so how do they test for this "malfunction" in our cells you ask???

Well . . . there's a non-invasive test to evaluate "Mitochondrial" function called . . . the MitoSwab test . . .

It collects "cells" from the inner cheek lining with a cheek swab, which are then analyzed to measure the activity of specific enzymes within the "Mitochondria"

Simple . . .

BUT . . . have you ever been tested???

So, let's continue . . .

I'm sure you're now thinking . . .

What "foods" are BAD for our "Mitochondria" . . . and "increase" OXIDATIVE STRESS . . . INFLAMMATION . . . and . . . produce damaging FREE RADICALS???

Well . . . basically . . . this WESTERN DIET we all love so much like . . .

"Processed foods" . . . anything in a box or can and NOT fresh . . . all due to harmful additives, preservative like "sodium benzoate" and added salts

"Excess sugar" . . . especially in the "other ingredient" part of a label . . . that ENDS with "OSE" like . . . fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, dextrose to mention a few . . . even fruit sugar and table sugar

"Refined carbohydrates" . . . processed grains, white bread, white pasta, pastries, cookies, cakes, white rice, breakfast cereals, crackers and snacks

"Trans Fats" . . . found in "fried foods" . . . margarines . . . packaged snacks . . . all "trigger" inflammation and oxidative stress

"Processed Meats" . . . contain "nitrates" and other chemicals that can be detrimental to our "Mitochondria"

"Excess Alcohol" . . . can damage muscles and the nervous system . . . adding to the burden on our "Mitochondria"

And what's the end result???

Well . . . these are all . . . "EMPTY CALORIE" . . . "NUTRITIONALLY VOID" . . . foods . . .

And due to their LOW FIBER content . . .

They digest "rapidly" . . . causing quick BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES . . . followed by "crashes" . . . increasing hunger . . . and insulin resistance . . .

And . . . potential long-term risks like weight gain, obesity, diabetes and heart disease!!!

They also . . . generate more "reactive oxygen species like . . . "free radicals" (those are them ones that cause CANCER) . . . than the body can neutralize . . . causing oxidative damage

And they cause . . . "CHRONIC INFLAMMATION" . . .

PEOPLE . . . that's why we ALL hurt and can't move!!!

That's what "ARTHRITIS" is all about!!!

So, tomorrow let's continue

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1258: Continuing to understand our Mitochondria . . .

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that the "POWERHOUSE" of our CELLS is called . . .

"Mitochondria" . . .

And that . . . they're the "energy currency" of our optimal health . . . by regulating the "calcium" level within our cells . . .

They also . . . "initiate" the process for a cell to "self-destruct" when necessary . . .

So, we now know . . . they're a "communication highway" between our cells . . .

Okay . . . so, what are the signs that our "Mitochondria" ISN'T working correctly???

Well . . . we would see . . .

Muscle weakness, heaviness, pain, cramps

Movement disorders, poor muscle tone

Fatigue

Exercise intolerance, poor stamina, sudden fatigue

Difficulty with coordination

Developmental delays or regression

Heart problems like abnormal heart rhythms

Sensory issues like . . . vision/hearing loss

Droopy eyelids

Difficulty moving eyes

Diabetes

Liver disease

Kidney disease

Increased risk of infections

Temperature intolerance

Dark urine

And Neurological issues like . . .

Seizures, epilepsy

Stroke-like episodes but not a stroke

Migraines

Dementia

Parkinson's

Alzheimer's

And Gastrointestinal symptoms like . . .

Severe constipation or diarrhea

Vomiting, acid reflux, swallowing difficulties

And Intestinal pseudo-obstructions

So . . . why don't MOST doctors talk about our Mitochondria symptoms you ask???

Well . . . this is due to all of these symptoms I just listed . . . also "PAIRING" up with OTHER condition.

Most of the time . . . the medical profession . . . conventional and/or alternative . . . see these symptoms . . . and try to "fix" them individually . . .

BUT . . . they DON'T look at the BIG PICTURE here people!!!

And that would be . . .

Going to the ROOT cause . . . and FIX our Mitochondria!!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's continue . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1257: Our "Mitochondria"

Good morning my friend . . .

I hope you had a wonderful Easter . . .

So, this week let's talk about our "MITOCHONDRIA" . . .

First question . . . what is our "Mitochondria" all about???

Well . . . in "simple" terms . . .

It's the "POWERHOUSE" of ALL our CELLS . . .

Now . . . do you ever feel???

Fatigue

Muscle weakness

Neurological issues

Potential organ issues . . .

Well . . . that's the body's "Mitochondria" in DISTRESS!!!

You see . . . "Mitochondria" produces "energy" for the body . . . and "dysfunction" causes a . . .

"Cellular Energy Crisis" . . .

And our "Mitochondria" . . . generates up to 90% of our chemical energy needed in all our cells for optimal health!!!

So, YES . . . this is an important "mechanic" to our body and survival!!!

So, let's break it down we better understand . . .

"Energy Production" . . . our "Mitochondria" converts food into "adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through aerobic respiration

"Structure" . . . they're made up of an outer membrane and fold inner membrane, which increases surface area for energy production

"Cellular Role" . . . they regulate "calcium signaling", "cell growth" . . . and cell death

And a "dysfunctional" and/or "impaired" Mitochondria in our cells . . . are linked to numerous diseases like . . .

Diabetes

Chronic fatigue

Parkinson's

Alzheimer's

So, in a nutshell my friends . . .

This is the body's "energy currency" . . . that powers "cellular activity" . . .

Which is why they call is the "POWERHOUSE of our CELLS"!!!

So, next time your eating . . . think of this . . .

That "food" . . . and its "nutrients" . . . like "GLUCOSE" (sugar) . . . plus the "oxygen" we breathe . . .

Ae being converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) . . . water . . . and carbon dioxide (when we exhale) . . . by the "mechanics" of our Mitochondria . . .

And WITHOUT this process from our cells working correctly . . .

They CAN'T perform essential functions like . . .

Muscle contractions

Nerve impulses

Or Building new molecules

And . . . the "heart" . . . muscles . . . and "brain" . . . have a VERY high demand for proper "Mitochondria".

It's the "communication highway" . . . between our cells . . . my friends!!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's continue . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1056: "Ma*****na" and our "Hormones"!

So, today . . . let's finish this topic of conversation with a few other "hormones" the THC from using "ma*****na" disrupts . . .

First up . . . the hormone called . . . "Leptin" . . . which is our "fasting" hormone . . . that "stops" us from OVER EATING . . .

And what about the hormone called . . . "Ghrelin" our "survival hormone that MAKES of eat???

This is our "MUNCHIE" hormone . . .

Well . . . THC "increases" levels of the "hunger" hormone "Ghrelin" . . . which stimulates us again to EAT more . . .

And then add to these over reactive hormones . . .

THC also stimulates the brain chemical called . . . "Dopamine" to release more of it than needed in the brain . . .

Leads to "cravings" of "high-calorie" . . . fatty . . . or sugary foods!

BUT . . . even with ALL OF THIS . . .

The "worst" part is . . . THC . . . "INCREASES" . . . the growth of the "fungus" called . . . Candidiasis in the body.

We've spoken about the devastation this "fungus" and its "infections" can do to our health many times before . . .

You see . . . THC can increase this (fungal) yeast growth . . . promoting "biofilm" formation . . . and suppressing the immune system's response.

And this is why many times . . . users . . . experience "oral thrush" . . . particularly smoking it.

"Ma*****na" users are also at a "higher" risk of infections like . . .

"Aspergillus" . . . a fungal lung infection

"Respiratory infections" . . . like pneumonia, bacterial lung infections, and bronchitis due to damage to the airway's immune defenses

And "Viral infections" . . . studies suggest a higher risk of acquiring or transmitting infections like . . . HIV, Hepatitis and HTLV-I/II

Now . . . even though "Ma*****na" DOES NOT CAUSE "Herpes Virus" . . .

"Ma*****na" impacts this virus and the immune system by . . .

"Suppressing" the body's immune system . . . which makes users more susceptible to infections . . . LEADING to more outbreaks like . . . sores in the mouth or on the lips.

And with this . . . "sharing" joints, blunts or bongs . . . can "spread" ORAL HERPES from person to person.

You see . . . THC . . . acts as an "immunosuppressant" . . . reducing the body's ability to "fight off" pathogens . . .

Not to mention . . . Cannabis . . . can contain "MOLD", "BACTERIA" . . . or "VIRUSES" . . . due to . . . PRODUCT CONTAMINATION!!!

And with this . . . many times "chronic users" can face "Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome" (CHS) . . . resulting in severe nausea and vomiting . . .

So, in this person's opinion . . .

And to answer the question I get asked all the time . . .

Is Ma*****na GOOD or BAD for us???

Well . . . I don't really see how consuming "Ma*****na" in any capacity . . . is a healthy thing !

So, I'll leave you this week with the "opinion" of our U.S. National Library of Medicine . . .

They state . . . "Ma*****na has mixed, often negative, impacts on human health. It poses significant risks, particularly with high THC products or frequent use, including addiction, cognitive decline, heart issues and mental health issues which include psychosis/schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety ."

So, have a great weekend . . . and keep the questions coming . . .

Next week . . . our "Mitochondria"

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1255: Cortisol and Ma*****na!

Now . . . as we know . . . the hormone called "Cortisol" . . . is in charge of our "fight - flight- freeze" response to LIFE!!!

So, how does "Ma*****na" and its THC . . . affect this very important hormone???

Well . . . in the "immediate" consumption of THC . . . it stimulates the hormone called . . . Cortisol . . . causing a "temporary", dose-dependent . . . RISE . . . in this hormone . . .

Which leads to . . . "increased" ANXIETY . . . in someone that is a NON-frequent user . . .

But . . . "frequent, long-term" users . . . this "rise" in this hormone . . . often results in a "BLUNTED" . . . Cortisol response . . .

Meaning . . . the body becomes LESS reactive to the body's . . . "fight - flight - freeze" response to LIFE . . .

Now . . . when we're a "frequent, long-term" users . . . this "blunted" result to our Cortisol hormone . . . can cause "Adrenal insufficiency" . . .

Which can MIMIC . . . "Addison's disease" . . .

Causing profound fatigue, muscle weakness, unintentional weight loss, low blood pressure, salt cravings, and skin darkening . . .

It can also make everyday tasks feel "overwhelming" or difficult . . . causing mood changes like depression . . . and issues with sleep and focusing like . . . brain fog!!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's continue with some other hormones "Ma*****na" can disrupt . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1254: Is there more to this "STORY"?

So, today . . . let's continue to explore the possibilities of the "effect" Ma*****na can have on the body and brain . . .

Now, yesterday . . . we spoke about how THC affects the "brain" . . .

But . . . what about our "hormones"???

Well . . . the U.S. Natural Library of Medicine states . . .

THC affects our hormones by "interacting" with the "pituitary gland" at the base of the skull . . .

Now . . . this "applies" to BOTH "recreational" and "medicinal" Ma*****na . . .

And the effects on "FEMALE" hormones and reproduction are. . .

THC can disrupt the normal surge of LH and FSH . . . crucial for follicle development and ovulation . .

THC can delay ovulation, causing anovulatory cycles (no ovulation) . . . and alter menstrual cycle length . . .

THC can "reduce" fertility . . .

And the effects on "MALE" hormones and reproduction are . . .

THC can "decrease" testosterone production . . . affecting s***m and prostate health . . .

THC "reduces" s***m count, motility . . . and ability to fertilize eggs . . . lowering male fertility . . .

THC "decreases" the SIZE and weight of reproductive organs . . . meaning the testicles, p***s and everything in between . . .

AND finally . . . Effects on our other HORMONES . . .

THC suppresses "prolactin" released from the "pituitary gland" . . .

THC "inhibits" the release of our "Growth hormone" (GH) . . . and . . . our "Thyroid-stimulating hormone" (TSH) . . . which affects our METABOLISM and GROWTH!!!

And this is a "BIGGIE" people . . .

THC . . . "RISES" . . . our "Cortisol" hormone . . .

That's right my friends . . . the one that we've been talking about for the past several months . . .

And tomorrow . . . we'll continue . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1253: How does "Ma*****na" affect us?

So, today . . . let's dig a little deeper and talk about how "Ma*****na" affects our body and "brain" . . .

Now . . . don't shoot the messenger . . . I'm just answering the questions of inquiring minds . . with "facts"!

Okay . . . so,there's a part of the "brain" that we've spoken about many time before called the . . . "Limbic system" . . .

And it's responsible for . . .

Processing emotions

Managing memory

Regulating motivation

Controlling behavior

And is linked to our smell and response to it

It also . . . "regulating" our fight, flight or freeze reaction . . .

Meaning our CORTISOL hormone . . . the one we've been talking about the past few months!!!!

So, how does this part of the "brain" interact with the "THC" in "Ma*****na"???

Well . . . there are 3 parts to the "Limbic system" in the brain . . .

And they would be the . . .

Amygdala

Hippocampus

Prefrontal cortex

So, let's break it down to better understand . . .

Now . . . the U.S. National Library of Medicine states that in the . . .

"Amygdala" part of the Limbic system . . . THC attaches to receptors in this part of the brain . . . causing feelings of "fear" . . . and "anxiety" . . .

In the "Hippocampus" . . . THC disrupts signaling in this area of the brain . . . which can impair "short-term memory" . . .

In the "Prefrontal Cortex" . . . THC can increase activity patterns in this area of the brain . . .

Which controls "HOW" the brain perceives emotional information and the strength of memories associated with these emotions . . .

And what about "brain" DEVELOPMENT???

Well . . . adolescent "cannabis" users . . . tend to perform MORE POORLY . . . than non-users on tasks requiring attention, memory and processing speed . . .

Okay . . . so, moving on . . .

Next question . . . what about the body's "immune system"???

Well . . . the U. S. National Library of Medicine also states . . .

"The use of Cannabis can "impair" the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight disease"

How you ask???

Well . . . "Ma*****na"/THC . . .

"Inhibits immune cells" . . . meaning "prevents" them from stopping the "spread" of disease . . .

"Increases the risk of bacterial and fungal infections" . . . and the risk of "tumors . . .

And "exposure" can . . . INCREASE . . . the "oxidative stress" in "red blood cells . . .

Which can "damage" red blood cell membranes!!!!

Okay . . . now, it's only fair . . . to talk about the "flip-side" of "Ma*****na" also . . .

Science states . . . the "benefits" to THC are treating . . .

Chronic pain

Nausea

Muscle spasms caused by MS

Seizures

Reducing inflammation

Improving sleep

And as an anti-depressant

So, tomorrow . . . let's see if there's more to this story . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1252: 'Ma*****na" . . . Yes or No?

Good morning my friends . . .

So, this week . . . let's talk about a controversial topic . . . and clear the air . . .

Because . . . I get asked this question "ALL" the time . . .

Is "Ma*****na" . . . good or bad for us???

Well . . . let's break it down to better understand . . .

First up . . . what is "Ma*****na"???

Well . . . Ma*****na or Cannabis . . . is a drug and preparation from the Cannabis plant.

It contains "psychoactive" compounds like . . . THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) . . . and non-intoxicating compounds like . . . CBD (Cannabidiol).

And the term . . . "ma*****na" . . . refers to the "dried" flowers and leaves of that plant . . . that can be used by smoking, vaporizing or consuming in food.

And it's also known as . . .

W**d, Pot, 420, Bhang, Grass, Green, Hashish, Holy w**d, Joint, KGB, Pakalolo and Re**er . . . just to mention a few . . .

Now . . . "ma*****na" for RECREATIONAL purposes . . . has been used for thousands of years . . . dating back to at least the 3rd millennium BCE.

And they used it in "steam baths" for enjoyment!!!

Now . . . "ma*****na" for SPIRITUAL purposes . . . dates back to 1500-2500 BCE and was used in religious ceremonies . . .

And "ma*****na" for "MEDICAL" purposes . . . is rooted from China, India and Egypt . . . and dated back to the 3rd century AD.

But . . . was introduced into Western medicine in the 1830s.

And . . . "recreationally" . . . it wasn't "widespread" in American until "alcohol" was banned during the Prohibition Era in 1920 - 1933.

Now, the next question we need to ask is this . . .

What's the difference between "recreational" . . . and . . . "medical" ma*****na???

Well . . . the only difference is . . . the purpose, regulation and formulation of this drug.

"Recreational" use . . . is for enjoyment/relaxation . . . and often has a higher THC potency.

Whereas . . . "Medicinal" use . . . must have a doctor's recommendation and/or a state-issued card.

And is used to treat specific, often chronic health conditions . . .

With "medical" products . . . favoring CBD/THC strains . . .

Okay . . . so, tomorrow . . . let's dig a little deep and answer some more questions . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1251: "Caffeine" is killing us!

So, as we spoke last week . . . we now know that an "overactive" Cortisol hormone (hypercortisolism) . . . is a well-documented cause of . . ."high blood pressure" (hypertension) . . .

And this week . . . we discovered that same "overactive" Cortisol" . . . also causes . . . "high cholesterol" . . .

Which "increases" the risk of a "cardiovascular" events by 90% . . . including heart attack and strokes.

So, how does all this work you ask???

Well, as I said a week ago with "high blood pressure" . . .

"Cortisol" . . . DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH "CAFFEINE"!!!

And that means . . . COFFEE . . . chocolate . . . and even "decaffeinated" coffee . . . because they "lie" to us . . . it still contains 20% "caffeine" . . .

Now . . . "caffeine" ELEVATES the level of Cortisol in the body . . .

And this elevated hormone NOW leads to "increased" liver enzymes . . . inflammation . . . and potential damage to the liver

And with this . . .

It "increases" the LDL (bad) cholesterol production . . .

Disrupts the liver's ability to remove LDL from the blood . . . causing it to accumulate. . .

And reduces HDL (good) cholesterol . . . which is responsible for clearing out excess LDL (bad) . . .

High levels of "Cortisol" from the consumption of "CAFFEINE" . . .

Also promotes FAT DEPOSTION in the liver . . . contributing to "fatty liver disease" . . . which can also increase "insulin resistance" . . .

And with this combined effect of "high Cortisol" . . . and increased "blood sugar" . . . we now have "higher" triglyceride levels.

So, STOP drinking "COFFEE" . . . and/or having that sweet CHOCOLATE treat in the morning people!!!!

And if you need more information on the hormone called . . . Cortisol . . .

I'll be holding another Health Seminar on April 25th, 2026 called . . .

"Your SUPERPOWER to Health and Healing"

So, stay safe and healthy this weekend and remember to be "mindful" in your world my friends!!

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1250: Is there a "CONNECTION"?

So, today . . . let's continue with the "connect" between our "high blood pressure" . . .

And "high CHOLESTEROL" . . .

So, a few weeks ago . . . we spoke about the hormone called . . . "Cortisol" . . . and the importance of it "functioning" properly.

We also discovered that this hormone is called the "STRESS hormone" and the "BELLY FAT PRODUCER"!!!

And it's "responsible" for our ACTIONS to the body's "fight or flight" response . . .

Meaning . . . how we "act" . . . or . . . "react" . . . to "confrontation" . . . or . . . any perceived danger in today's world.

So, how does this all fit in with our "high cholesterol"???

Well . . . it all starts with . . . "insulin resistance" . . .

That's right . . .

The hormone "insulin" that the pancreas makes is a MAJOR PLAYER not ONLY to our "hypertension" . . . and "high blood pressure" . . .

But, ALSO . . . is a "major player" in our "high cholesterol" . . .

So, let's refresh . . .

We all know "insulin resistance" is a condition where the body's cells don't respond properly to that hormone . . .

Which makes it harder to get "glucose" (sugar) from the blood into the cells for energy . . .

And BOOM we now have "prediabetes" . . . or . . . "type 2 diabetes" . . .

But . . . "high" insulin levels . . . ALSO cause . . . "high cholesterol" . . .

How you ask???

Well . . . the hormone "Cortisol" . . . causes the liver to "INCREASE" its production of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides . . .

While "reducing" our HDL (good) cholesterol . . .

Remember, we spoke about the "liver" producing 80% of the "cholesterol" we need for optimal health???

Well . . . let's break it down even more . . .

The "liver" produces "cholesterol . . . with approximately 60-70% of "total" cholesterol being the LDL (bad) cholesterol . . .

With the rest being the liver's HDL (good) cholesterol . . .

And this "good" (HDL) is what . . . REMOVES the BAD cholesterol . . . so the "bad" can't build up "plaque" in our arteries . . .

Now . . . the problem is this . . .

High levels of "Cortisol" . . .

FORCE the liver to produce MORE LDL (bad) cholesterol . . . than the body can eliminate . . . which then accumulates on our artery walls . . .

It also . . . promotes the "release" of "fatty acids . . . resulting in "higher" triglyceride levels . . .

And if that's not bad enough . . .

High levels of "Cortisol" in the body cause excessive "inflammation" . . . which also LOWERS our HDL (good) cholesterol.

So . . . could this be the "secret" . . . and "missing" piece to our better health . . .

And controlling "high cholesterol" WITHOUT . . . DRUGS???

Well, tomorrow . . . let's explore the possibilities . . .

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1249: Same old . . . Same old!

So, the question for today is this . . .

Why is it sooooo hard to get our "cholesterol" down to a "healthy" number???

Now . . . whether you're using the "new" guidelines of "200" . . .

Or . . . you're going with the "original" guidelines of "age plus 100" . . .

We Americans . . . are having a hard time getting it together . . . to lower our "cholesterol".

So, what's the "secret" to this dilemma in life???

Well . . . we're back to the "same old, same old" scenario . . .

We have an ailment . . . and conventional medicine . . . gives us drugs!!!!

But . . . is that really the answer to our health issues???

You see . . . we're right back to the SAME elements as with our "high blood pressure" . . .

Now, if you remember . . . a few months about we spoke about the "liver" making 80% of our "cholesterol" for optimal health . . .

And that we should ONLY get 20% from the food we eat . . .

And in reality . . . we REALLY don't even need that 20% for optimal health!!!!

So, let's break it all down again . . . to better understand . . .

As we just discovered last week with our "high blood pressure" . . .

The hormone called . . . "Cortisol" is the MAJOR contributor to our "blood pressure" issues . . .

Well . . . our "cholesterol" issues are no different . . .

"HIGH" levels of the hormone called "Cortisol" . . . the STRESS and BELLY FAT PRODUCER . . .

"Increase" blood sugar levels and "trigger" the "liver" to produce more "BAD" LDL cholesterol . . . and "triglycerides . . .

While LOWERING our "good" HDL cholesterol . . .

Which all . . . makes us accumulate fat around the abdomen . . .

You know . . . our spare tire . . .

And with this . . . the body promotes "plaque buildup" in our arteries!!!

Now . . . remember last week we discovered . . . high levels of Cortisol . . . INCREASE blood glucose (sugar) . . . leading to "Insulin Resistance" . . . and our High Blood Pressure issues . . .

Well . . . it does the SAME thing for our level of "cholesterol"!!!

And tomorrow . . . I'll remind you of the major reason "Cortisol" levels are so high in the first place!!!

Today's Health Awareness Tip 1248: Why do we live in a "cookie cutter" world?

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that years ago . . . our TOTAL cholesterol was determined by our "age + 100" . . .

Meaning . . . if you were 70 years old . . . you'd add 100 to that number and your TOTAL cholesterol for optimal health would be "170" . . .

But . . . in today's world . . . they've changed the rules . . . and upped the TOTAL cholesterol guidelines to "200" . . .

For EVERYONE!!!!

And we NOW just became . . . a "cookie cutter" world!!!!

People . . . ONE-SIZE . . . DOES NOT fit all!!!

So, did they do that . . . so we "all" don't feel so bad about being over our "optimal" health level for cholesterol???

PEOPLE . . . over 99 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older have TOTAL cholesterol levels of "200" or higher . . .

And . . . 25 million U.S. adults have TOTAL cholesterol levels ABOVE 240 . . .

With "women" being at a slightly higher risk . . .

Now . . . conventional medicine and science states . . .

The reason they have "upped" the guidelines" . . .

Are to make sure we "all" try to "lower" our LDL (bad) cholesterol . . .

What???

That makes "no" logical sense to me at all!!!!

And . . . most of the time . . . they give us a "grace period" to try and lower our LDL cholesterol . . . by "correcting" our food habits.

But . . . in all reality my friends . . . that is a VERY difficult thing to do . . . due to the "addicting" effect of this Western diet . . .

Which is very "high" in Omega 6 fatty acids!!!!

Remember . . . we just got done talking about "why dieting doesn't work" a week ago!!!
