The science falls on deaf ears at Dept of Agra because the Corporate Farmers are addicted to maximizing their bottom line. Bigger is not better with yield when the nutritional value has been degraded by being grown on dead soil. The fact the trace amounts of glyphosate feed to our children on breakfast cereal along with sugar, corn syrup and dyes does not phase the cereal manufacturers. Zen Honeycutt has been a champion in this area educating moms who will read and listen. www.momsacrossamerica.com. In fact she lives in the Southeast some where not to far from Dr. Malone. She needs everyone's support to wake up our sleeping Congressman in DC. The other issue is taxpayer dollars are helping subsidize these GMO crops with trace toxins that harm! Only in America!
Today, I received a detailed message from Zen Honeycutt that Congress Booker is introducing a bill called Safe School Meals Act with the intent to eliminate detrimental ingredients that impact the health of our children. RFK Jr has expressed this time and again. "60% of our children have health issues" . Big Chemo and Big Food will lobby for having the bill watered down. Big Medicine will remain silent on the issue. Doesn't grow the corporate medicine business if the citizens are healthy. Thank you Zen and Moms across America that are supporting this bill. We need a ground swell of voices getting the attention of all congressman. Many will succumb to their political pocketbook. Read Zen's announcement here!
Many years ago, the President of the Keebler Cookie Company bragged to me that they made the best belly fillers in the world. I ask what that means? Answer: They look good, taste good and have NO nutritional value! Yep! That's been the mantra of Big Food since WWII!
Dr Braun, I am with you!! Nicole Shannahan is also vocal about this travesty. However, as our political establishment stands, all bills will be corrupted by special interests. We need to irrevocably break the back of lobbying. Bobby Kennedy has a plan. I’m praying that we live to see it fulfilled. (I mean that! Every hour gets a five minute prayer to God Almighty for this issue). I also think, though nearly no one agrees, that citizen taxpayers need a way to influence their legislatures thru greater control over how their tax dollars are (mis) spent. I suggest letting us assign our money at tax time to a long list of government agencies and proposed bills. Yes you can use my money et for that or no you can’t. I suggest that swelling and shrinking budgets would have a whiplash corrective effect on all government agencies and send a clearer message to politicians who only listen to those who fund them.
Great plan! Special interest lobbyists and our congressman will not want to give up their power. I hope Booker's Bill is not just a ploy to take away RFK Jr. thunder and hard work championing children's health.
Exactly. Let RFK go in for the kill. Meaning, no more pandering/working with. This beast must be slain. And Republicans (and it goes without saying Democrats) have shown themselves to be cowards and immoral creeps except for a mighty few: Massey, Getz, MTG, Paul and more but most are wedded to the corporate and wealthy when they should be listening ONLY to us.
Today Vani testified before a Congressional committee hosted by Don Johnson, one of the only congressman that has the courage to expose the deep state that is ruining the American experiment. Her testimony is focused and accurate an it is time that our Congressman support the changes that are required to make our children healthy again. I love you Vani! https://foodbabe.com/american-food-companies-must-stop-doing-this-now-testimony-washington-d-c-senate-roundtable/
I just found a Glyphosate test referred by David Perlmutter that anyone can order (they make it look like you need an MD but you don't) - for anyone who wants to order a test, you can do so here: https://mosaicdx.com/test/glyphosate-test/
(But I would add red light sauna + detox baths to the regimen which detoxes most toxins faster and easier than most everything else)
My husband and I follow what you and Jill do. We eat only whole organic foods and make our own meals from scratch ...and buy from farmers directly that are organic and raise grain-free beef/chicken (no big box stores)...yes we eat out occasionally too. My husband now buys wheatberries direct from the farmer and mills our flour and makes the bread from scratch ensuring ZERO Glyphosate/GMOs Bromide, etc. For dessert, we buy raw milk/cream from a local farmer and make our own ice cream.
Unfortunately, every time we travel, we all are getting pummeled with:
(1) heavy doses of radiation from the flight
(2) GMO/GLY in many of the foods we are forced to eat out, and
(3) parasites/bacteria/fungi/viruses from virtually everywhere.
Unfortunately, it's not as healthy to travel as it used to be.
When I have to travel (about 4-5 times per year), I take the following with me:
(1) 25 mg Iodine along with 200 mcg selenium daily (neutralizes the radiation),
(3) Dr. Schulze Superfoods powder (highest non-synthetic source of B vitamins I've seen) along with collagen powder which I mix into morning juice to ensure high nutrition
(6) Progesterone (by Health Natura) which men/women both need (ref Giorgi Dinkov/Mercola) plus GABA, Magnesium - all taken before bed to ensure excellent sleep.
(7) Probiotic
There are other things I can take but I try to make it as low-maintenance as I can (remember to wrap all your supplements in aluminum foil as many will be negatively impacted when they are scanned. )
Before I did this regimen, I used to come home feeling wiped out and have to do a 1-2 week cleanse/detox to try to get myself back to normal. A friend of mine (who thinks I'm very high maintenance because of my regimen - LOL) ...just went on a high-end cruise and visited Italy/Greece/Croatia and came back with the flu, parasite infection, and ear infection. That was 3 weeks ago and she is still struggling to feel better. ...I would rather be high maintenance :)
Addendum (Progesterone - depleted for most by age 55 and many younger than 55 also need it...it's a cortisol antagonist and can help with estrogen dominance which is a problem for almost all adults today due to the endocrine disrupting microplastics which are in just about every food item that comes out of a box or a can.
Giorgi Dinkov is an independent researcher with his own labs and has come up with endocrine balancing solutions that are so contrary that his solutions are the exact reverse of 'mainstream Western Medicine model' for maintaining endocrine health 40 and over.
His research results are counter to what NIH, CDC, et al promote, it's truly mind numbing...SSRIs, HRT...Do we need to re-thing these? Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SN2jwpTuGo

The boxes I clicked led me to having to give a card # and so I stopped. Can you tell me what one single test costs - for me? I might plug in a card # if the price is reasonable.
About 25 years ago now... I was so far over on the plant based diet side that my son made me a bowl with the words "Rice and Beans Again??" I had sworn off beef after learning about the slaughterhouse industry!! And then I learned about gluten and grass-fed beef!!! I quit all "bread" products!! It was a struggle for a while as they would "call" to me!!! Nowadays, I don't even see them as food!! I am always stunned by how much space in the "grocery" stores is devoted to starches, sugars and fake sugars!!! 90% of my shopping is done around the perimeter of the store!!
Then one day I kind of "accidentally" began eating almost only grass-fed ground beef and found my energy and thinking ability increasing!!!
Today I am almost entirely "carnivore" by default!!! The veggies I used to eat tons of... now cause me digestive distress and "run" right through my "sewer system" into the man-made sewer system!! I suspect that may be because "everything" (even organic) is contaminated with destructive chemicals in the "food," water and air!!
After completing my 80th trip around the sun in June, I still do my own car/building repairs, lawn mowing, etc. I'm getting back into weight lifting, my sleep is getting better and better and no one is able to guess my correct age!!! I also take some supplements and... zero!!... pharmaceutical poisons!!!
A friend at our gym is now 85 but you would never guess it. He works out with weights in a reasonable way and goes 3 times per week. Slim, fit, and in great health.
WRE, Don’t overdo on the weights! My 89 yo husband has some real back problems which I wonder if he may have ovredone in the last. He did back off a few years ago. Now he can’t.
Back problems are almost always the result of improper lifting methods!! I screwed up my back years ago doing bent-over rowing!! NO ONE could stop the pain that developed!! One time after getting radiant heat treatments (that didn't help) ... as I lifted my foot to step into my car... I felt my back (around the belt line) pop!! I thought... how come NO ONE told me my spine was out of place!! Apparently the heat had relaxed the muscles enough to allow the vertebrae to realign!! I then started going to a chiropractor with very limited improvement in the pain!! One day sitting on the floor doing twisting and stretching, I hit on a particular "stretch" that instantly relieved 90% of the discomfort!! I continued that and variations of it with continued improvement!! I told the chiropractor what I was doing and he said, "Keep doing it ... you don't need me anymore!!" Get him to a "good" chiropractor ... not just a manipulator... rather someone who truly understands how all those connections work!!!
Thanks for all the good ideas!! He would take the ice cream first!!! It has been one more ride. Add dementia to the trip! Now he has a femoral popliteal clot. No jabs. Just Covid in July 2021. I think the delta variant. We both had but he came out with the worst side effects ! What a worker for his age before this happened. His sense of humor sees us through.
All that being said, the clot is our focus for now. The rest falls in line with what I believe he needs. Trying to have the right balance in a world upside down. God is our refuge through all of this. What a friend in Jesus.
I just wanted to warn about what I observed at our gym. I’m afraid it can be overkill with weights. Moderation!
Look up Dr. Bryan Ardis!!! He is a brilliant researcher!! There are(!!) remedies for those problems... starting with all the things the FDA has demonized!!! If I try to list them here I'll just sound like a nut case !! Dr. Ardis has all the backup evidence that will make it make sense!!! Search his site thedrardisshow.com he has tons of free information!! You will be stunned!! One hint to start you off... the clots come from the "spike proteins" and Nattokinase breaks down those proteins!!
I found just that kind of chiropractor, she is a "well being chiropractor", spends the time to explain stretches and movement. She also introduced me to the vibration plate machine, which I own and use daily. A good chiropractor will set up a 15 minute once a month maintenance program for a pain free life, that is great .
Those (if you get a good one) vibrators are awesome!!! I went looking for one when a newsletter doctor I respect touted them and offered one for a ridiculous $2500!! I found one called "Sunny Health and Fitness" for less than $100 (that was several years ago and it's still operational)!! The first time I used it, I was experiencing heart "palpitations"!! They vanished within the first 30 seconds on the machine!!
You may end up being the only human being left in the universe when everyone else is a walking chemical factory. It Ould get lonely. Maybe you should have a big bowl of ice cream.
Don't forget BISON! We have a lot of small bison ranches around here (Austin, TX) and we love it. We buy a half to get one of everything and they are big animals. All are "grass fed" in that they suppliment with a grass blended pellets. There is not enough grassland around here to support them. Bison are very different from cattle since they are not domesticated so the whole process is much more hands off with a wild animal. So impossible to feedlot with a forced diet like cattle. They couldn't do what they do with cattle cause they would suffer and so not profitable. The last one we got developed a hoof condition and we got him at $1.80/lb hanging weight cause they wanted him gone. We get all the organs, suet, cheek meat, tounge, ox tail, etc. First thing we eat is the tounge, my wife loves it.
Doc, I totally agree and owe a lot to my father in law. Art, who has been gone for a number of years. His body was good for a lot more, but at 92 his doctor discovered a heart defect that got him before it could be corrected. He had been a serious physical education student in terms of clean eating and exercise long before it was recognized. His oldest daughter takes after him and has been known to read the labels on foods and have me return them if I missed something. We are also lucky to have the local CSA farm a couple of miles up the road. It has a new owner, a California chef, who is still learning both to farm and to be a West Virginian this year, so we have gotten a few weird vegetables, but the owner is beginning to fit in and on balance our half share has been a good use of the money.
The Glychosphate issue is truly disgusting. My wife used to think she has a gluten allergy until one day when India still strictly forbade it’s use to do the final ripening of wheat we ate at an Indian Restaurant (Truck Stop) along I-70 in western Ohio. Waiting for the restroom I was standing near a big pile of imported sacks of Indian Flour that was obviously the supply for the entire restaurant. She loves nan and decided to eat some anyway. To our surprise she had no problems with the nan. I later read that India, at least then, didn’t allow the final ripening of wheat with Glychosphate, so we strongly suspect that is her allergy and not gluten.
Glychosphate is used in a disgusting process used in both the US and Canada to save ripening time at the expense of customer health. If it hasn’t already been made clear the Roundup you use to kill weeds in your driveway is a good part Glychosphate!
I just finished spraying glyphosate on ten acres of heavy sod. It will be plowed down in a week and left to rot down and be prepared for potatoes in the spring. It works fantastically well, and eliminates or curtails the usage of other, more dangerous (to the crop) herbicide weed killers in the crop next year. Within two weeks, soil microbes will have destroyed any evidence of the chemical in the soil.
that being said, I'm more concerned with the genetic modification process of Roundup Ready crops than the actual Roundup. It's applied long before any portion of the plant has developed the food or feed portion such as the grain head.
NOW.... using glyphosate as a desiccant........ I had an argument with someone about using Roundup as a desiccant for grains to be used for food. I just didn't believe that the FDA would OK that process. I argued that it may have been labeled for seed crops, but surely not for food. Turns out I was wrong.
I believe your concern for this practice is warranted, and not just for Roundup. In researching other descants, it turns out that others are being used on the actual food part of the plant as well. Diquot, a non=selective weed killer used extensively to desiccate the above ground plant of the potato in order to promote skin-set that protects the tubers from bruising and disease introduction is also being used on food grains along with its cousin Paraquat. Common sense tells me that there are unhealthy levels of residue in those grains. Before Covid, I probably wouldn.t question the FDA's approval. Now, however, I question EVERYTHING my government tells me. It's quite obvious that regulatory capture is swaying FDA/Big Chemical interactions that are not in the best safety interests of the folks they are supposed to be protecting.
Our neighboring farms across the river spray all their potatoes for desicating in late summer; I assume they use Diquot as you imply. So, is that a concern for use when we eat their potatoes or should I start planting my own?! It seems that as its use is to dessicate the leaves it may not reach the tubers themselves?
This process and chemical has been used for at least 5 decades. The desiccant is a contact killer whereas glyphosate is absorbed by the leaves and "trans-locates" to the roots where it does it's job killing the entire plant. Monsanto had a research lab near here testing a number of transgenic procedures. The potatoes they developed had the potential to drastically reduce insecticide usage by producing a very benign chemical in the leaves to kill Colorado Potato Beetles. The same chemical, BTW that the organic growers still spray on their potatoes today. They made the plants to produce this compound because in order for it to work, it has to be applied about every three days. An impossible task if you are growing 1500 acres. Anti-GMO activists did their dirty work and McCain Foods, one of the largest food processors in the world folded, refusing to buy any genetically modified potatoes for french frys and Monsanto abandoned the lines. Anyway, when they tried to make Roundup ready potatoes, they found that the tubers always rotted in storage when treated with glyphosate.at desiccation.
OK, thanks again Patriot. more questions / points.
So, Diquot the dessicant, should be fine for potatoes as it is a contact killer(leaves) and should not be expected to run down to the potatoes. . . is what I am hearing.
-- We have grown our own but lots of potato beetles are a pain; it may be worth it if I knew the name of the "benign" chemical so I could do as the "organic" farmers do. . . ?? suggestions on that name?
-- Glyphosate must not be the chemical in use as it causes storage rot. .
Dipel, and Thuricide are two products that have Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) as an active ingredient. Both products are available on Ebay and Amazon. Apply when the larvae are feeding ravenously, usually on hot days. The adult beetles don't eat or eat very little. Watch the underside of the leaves for the egg masses and start application then, BT will have to be re-applied after it rains, and usually about every three days.
Depending on how many potatoes you have, mechanical haulm removal works nearly as well as chemical. A weed whacker that will cut the stalk off near ground level works and a propane burner applied to the plants a couple times also works well. They only need to be exposed to the heat, not burned to a crisp as too much heat will damage the tubers near the surface.
BTW, Monsanto tried making a Roundup ready potato and that was when they discovered that the tubers would not keep.
Wife tells me diatomaceous earth particles suspended in water, sprayed works against potato beetles but she has not tried it since did not plant taters this year. . . hmmm.
Well, OK but when was the last time someone took a slug of Diquat?!
The AI response you got applies to INGESTION not topical application to potato plant leaves with no migration to the tubers, eventually eaten by humans.
Great article. I’m a make things from scratch farm girl. There is so much processed food in the stores . The kids love it. I never bought it. Pizza pockets, taquitoes, burritos etc.My neighbor fed her kids processed food and they were always getting sick.
My grandson and his exchange student from Chile are playing soccer and having 2 hour practice everyday. Such great exercise. I was always grateful for soccer. All my kids played soccer except my oldest daughter and she took dance classes. Sports keep kids off of their phones, computers , TVs etc. I live in an area where kids can ride bikes , there is a bike trail about a mile from my house. My sons like to ride their bikes. My grandson doesn’t do outside exercise and her stamina is terrible. What to do.
Now for my confession. I live a block from the high school. All of my six children would come home at lunchtime and bring friends. My grandkids that go to the school would bring over friends. This year I have a grandson and the foreign exchange student ( he is awesome) and my granddaughter comes over for lunch. They bring their friends. We have anywhere from 9 - 14 kids everyday coming over to our house at lunchtime. Some bring lunch and some don’t. The high school caught fire about 1 1/2 years ago. There is no lunch room . They have a make shift lunch room in the foyer. Not a lot of room.
Now my dilemma is what to feed these hungry kids. Most of them are 14 year old boys which even if they bring a lunch they are still hungry.
Now for the confession part. I need something fast. I have been buying pizza pockets and taquitoes and burritos. They are fast toward up but I am filling guilty. Now my daughter is chipping in on the food as that is a lot of kids to fed. Any suggestions? I never fed my children this garbage and here I am. Taco soup , beef stew etc. You have to know that my kids are spaced 26 years apart and I had my own children in school for 39 consecutive years. I’m tired of cooking big meals. I’m still having a hard time cooking for two. But 14 kids is a lot. Help.
My mom had non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She used a lot of round-up in her large yard.
Things need to change. I think if we can get Trump and Vance along with RFK jr. we can make progress.
I have to say the kids are great kids. Very polite, clean up after themselves , say thank you and call me Grandma. Occasionally we make cookies. You have to know I love children.
Hey Melanie you're a great Mom & Grandma! Wow, amazed at what you do for these kids-- 14?! Whoa.
as to Round up. . . Heck, I still use it about 2x a summer to kill various weeds that just can't be stopped otherwise, but that is not a health concern as it never goes on garden stuff, just the weeds. . .
This is not a health concern? The residue goes into the soil, water and air. This is a health concern all the way around. Don't let your rational mind win on the health concern front. This is serious!
Growing season is coming to an end. They half an hour for lunch. That includes coming to my home and go back to school. If I have leftovers they eat them up.
May I recommend an online search for organic. non-GMO flour near you. From that you should be able to locate bakeries and bulk flour.
Because glyphosate is a disaster in our gut, many people decide that they are gluten intolerant and search for gluten free everything instead of glyphosate free food. Avoid conventional baked goods and if enough of us do that a market of GMO free products may appear.
That’s really awful! I live in a condo with very little sun. The heavy trade winds also make it almost impossible to grow anything I currently have one avocado bush/tree and one small lemon tree both planted from seeds I sprouted. I think I may see some fruit in about 5 years! LOL Its like watching paint dry but I love them and talk to them daily
I have been needing a kickstart to eat better. Thank you for the information and actual science. I grew up in a smsll town with one local doctor. We only saw him if we were sick. He always recommended home remedies.
When my mother was dying last year she asked my sister if she still wanted the set of medical books that came with our encyclopedias in the 60's. I made my sister take them. They are a treasure trove of how doctors handled everything from the common cold to broken bones. These books were published in 1963 before drugs were the fix for everything. They are filled with COMMON SENSE solutions and ideas.
I agree. My grandfather was a country doctor and I love reading his medical books, and diary, notes. My father remembers as a child, almost passing out from holding the ether mask while his father performed surgery on a patient lying on their dining room table!
Thank you for the jog to buy organic fruits and vegetables, Dr. Malone. I’ve resisted for a long thinking that, by washing everything, I’m getting rid of the residue. I don’t buy many processed food products but probably more than I should. Your push may be just what I needed. Thanks!
Thanks for the inspiration. Just found a local farmer exchange market, not sure if it’s organic but we also eat less as we age so spending more money on quality for health and keeping up strength and energy is totally worth it. I remember a book years back that recommended not eating anything with ingredients your grandmother or you couldn’t recognize or pronounce.
The farmers markets are growing. We support as much as possible and learning how to do as much as possible. Don't think we will have chickens or goats anytime soon though....
Excellent article Drs. Malone . Thank you for reinforcing that better eating equals better life. Yes, it’s hard at first but it pays off in spades. Keep up the good stuff. Looking forward to more farm life articles too! God Bless everyone 🙏🏻
A reader pointed out that I didn't include enough of the results of the "Association of glyphosate exposure with multiple adverse outcomes and potential mediators" paper. And they are right.
My bad (my only excuse was that the trip home was tiring)
I edited the Substack to include the following abstract conclusion from the study:
"The findings of the study revealed that individuals with higher urinary concentrations of GLY had a higher likelihood of having T2DM (type 2 diabetes), hypertension, CVD and obesity (p < 0.001, p = 0.005, p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). In the reverse-scale Cox regression, a notable association was solely discerned between exposure to GLY and the risk of T2DM (adjusted HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.36). Consistent outcomes were also obtained via logistic regression analysis, wherein the adjusted OR and 95% CI for T2DM were determined to be 1.30 (1.12, 1.52). Moreover, the present investigation identified serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) as a mediator in this association, with a mediating effect of 7.14% (p = 0.040). This mediating effect was further substantiated by RCS regression, wherein significant dose-response associations were observed between GLY exposure and an increased risk of T2DM (p = 0.002) and reduced levels of HDL (p = 0.001).

The key of course is for all of us to detox.

(7) Probiotic
There are other things I can take but I try to make it as low-maintenance as I can (remember to wrap all your supplements in aluminum foil as many will be negatively impacted when they are scanned. )
Before I did this regimen, I used to come home feeling wiped out and have to do a 1-2 week cleanse/detox to try to get myself back to normal. A friend of mine (who thinks I'm very high maintenance because of my regimen - LOL) ...just went on a high-end cruise and visited Italy/Greece/Croatia and came back with the flu, parasite infection, and ear infection. That was 3 weeks ago and she is still struggling to feel better. ...I would rather be high maintenance :)
Addendum (Progesterone - depleted for most by age 55 and many younger than 55 also need it...it's a cortisol antagonist and can help with estrogen dominance which is a problem for almost all adults today due to the endocrine disrupting microplastics which are in just about every food item that comes out of a box or a can.
Giorgi Dinkov is an independent researcher with his own labs and has come up with endocrine balancing solutions that are so contrary that his solutions are the exact reverse of 'mainstream Western Medicine model' for maintaining endocrine health 40 and over.
His research results are counter to what NIH, CDC, et al promote, it's truly mind numbing...SSRIs, HRT...Do we need to re-thing these? Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SN2jwpTuGo
"I just found a Glyphosate test referred by David Perlmutter that anyone can order (they make it look like you need an MD but you don't) - for anyone who wants to order a test, you can do so here: https://mosaicdx.com/test/glyphosate-test/"
The boxes I clicked led me to having to give a card # and so I stopped. Can you tell me what one single test costs - for me? I might plug in a card # if the price is reasonable.
David, please post the cost if you do find out. Thanks
About 25 years ago now... I was so far over on the plant based diet side that my son made me a bowl with the words "Rice and Beans Again??" I had sworn off beef after learning about the slaughterhouse industry!! And then I learned about gluten and grass-fed beef!!! I quit all "bread" products!! It was a struggle for a while as they would "call" to me!!! Nowadays, I don't even see them as food!! I am always stunned by how much space in the "grocery" stores is devoted to starches, sugars and fake sugars!!! 90% of my shopping is done around the perimeter of the store!!
Then one day I kind of "accidentally" began eating almost only grass-fed ground beef and found my energy and thinking ability increasing!!!
Today I am almost entirely "carnivore" by default!!! The veggies I used to eat tons of... now cause me digestive distress and "run" right through my "sewer system" into the man-made sewer system!! I suspect that may be because "everything" (even organic) is contaminated with destructive chemicals in the "food," water and air!!
After completing my 80th trip around the sun in June, I still do my own car/building repairs, lawn mowing, etc. I'm getting back into weight lifting, my sleep is getting better and better and no one is able to guess my correct age!!! I also take some supplements and... zero!!... pharmaceutical poisons!!!
A friend at our gym is now 85 but you would never guess it. He works out with weights in a reasonable way and goes 3 times per week. Slim, fit, and in great health.
WRE, Don’t overdo on the weights! My 89 yo husband has some real back problems which I wonder if he may have ovredone in the last. He did back off a few years ago. Now he can’t.
Thanks, Margaret...
Back problems are almost always the result of improper lifting methods!! I screwed up my back years ago doing bent-over rowing!! NO ONE could stop the pain that developed!! One time after getting radiant heat treatments (that didn't help) ... as I lifted my foot to step into my car... I felt my back (around the belt line) pop!! I thought... how come NO ONE told me my spine was out of place!! Apparently the heat had relaxed the muscles enough to allow the vertebrae to realign!! I then started going to a chiropractor with very limited improvement in the pain!! One day sitting on the floor doing twisting and stretching, I hit on a particular "stretch" that instantly relieved 90% of the discomfort!! I continued that and variations of it with continued improvement!! I told the chiropractor what I was doing and he said, "Keep doing it ... you don't need me anymore!!" Get him to a "good" chiropractor ... not just a manipulator... rather someone who truly understands how all those connections work!!!
Thanks for all the good ideas!! He would take the ice cream first!!! It has been one more ride. Add dementia to the trip! Now he has a femoral popliteal clot. No jabs. Just Covid in July 2021. I think the delta variant. We both had but he came out with the worst side effects ! What a worker for his age before this happened. His sense of humor sees us through.
All that being said, the clot is our focus for now. The rest falls in line with what I believe he needs. Trying to have the right balance in a world upside down. God is our refuge through all of this. What a friend in Jesus.
I just wanted to warn about what I observed at our gym. I’m afraid it can be overkill with weights. Moderation!
Look up Dr. Bryan Ardis!!! He is a brilliant researcher!! There are(!!) remedies for those problems... starting with all the things the FDA has demonized!!! If I try to list them here I'll just sound like a nut case !! Dr. Ardis has all the backup evidence that will make it make sense!!! Search his site thedrardisshow.com he has tons of free information!! You will be stunned!! One hint to start you off... the clots come from the "spike proteins" and Nattokinase breaks down those proteins!!
AMD told me having Covid could cause the clot as well as the jabs that we did not take. What
Oops! What blew my mind our PCP doesn’t plan another Doppler study to see if the expensive Eliquis worked taking for 6 months! What does that say?
I found just that kind of chiropractor, she is a "well being chiropractor", spends the time to explain stretches and movement. She also introduced me to the vibration plate machine, which I own and use daily. A good chiropractor will set up a 15 minute once a month maintenance program for a pain free life, that is great .
Those (if you get a good one) vibrators are awesome!!! I went looking for one when a newsletter doctor I respect touted them and offered one for a ridiculous $2500!! I found one called "Sunny Health and Fitness" for less than $100 (that was several years ago and it's still operational)!! The first time I used it, I was experiencing heart "palpitations"!! They vanished within the first 30 seconds on the machine!!
You may end up being the only human being left in the universe when everyone else is a walking chemical factory. It Ould get lonely. Maybe you should have a big bowl of ice cream.
LOL!!! Ice cream is also a "non-starter"!! I'll commune with the cats and cows!!
Go see a good DO = Osteopath.
62 here. Zero meds, just supplements. I've got 60 lbs to loose though. This article was awesome!
Nice, you sound like my father.
Don't forget BISON! We have a lot of small bison ranches around here (Austin, TX) and we love it. We buy a half to get one of everything and they are big animals. All are "grass fed" in that they suppliment with a grass blended pellets. There is not enough grassland around here to support them. Bison are very different from cattle since they are not domesticated so the whole process is much more hands off with a wild animal. So impossible to feedlot with a forced diet like cattle. They couldn't do what they do with cattle cause they would suffer and so not profitable. The last one we got developed a hoof condition and we got him at $1.80/lb hanging weight cause they wanted him gone. We get all the organs, suet, cheek meat, tounge, ox tail, etc. First thing we eat is the tounge, my wife loves it.
LOL - I know the organs are good for us...but i just can't stand to look at the tongue & imagine eating it!
Doc, I totally agree and owe a lot to my father in law. Art, who has been gone for a number of years. His body was good for a lot more, but at 92 his doctor discovered a heart defect that got him before it could be corrected. He had been a serious physical education student in terms of clean eating and exercise long before it was recognized. His oldest daughter takes after him and has been known to read the labels on foods and have me return them if I missed something. We are also lucky to have the local CSA farm a couple of miles up the road. It has a new owner, a California chef, who is still learning both to farm and to be a West Virginian this year, so we have gotten a few weird vegetables, but the owner is beginning to fit in and on balance our half share has been a good use of the money.
The Glychosphate issue is truly disgusting. My wife used to think she has a gluten allergy until one day when India still strictly forbade it’s use to do the final ripening of wheat we ate at an Indian Restaurant (Truck Stop) along I-70 in western Ohio. Waiting for the restroom I was standing near a big pile of imported sacks of Indian Flour that was obviously the supply for the entire restaurant. She loves nan and decided to eat some anyway. To our surprise she had no problems with the nan. I later read that India, at least then, didn’t allow the final ripening of wheat with Glychosphate, so we strongly suspect that is her allergy and not gluten.
Glychosphate is used in a disgusting process used in both the US and Canada to save ripening time at the expense of customer health. If it hasn’t already been made clear the Roundup you use to kill weeds in your driveway is a good part Glychosphate!
Um, I wouldn't be using Roundup - to kill weeds in my driveway or anywhere else. Poisons self and surroundings.
I just finished spraying glyphosate on ten acres of heavy sod. It will be plowed down in a week and left to rot down and be prepared for potatoes in the spring. It works fantastically well, and eliminates or curtails the usage of other, more dangerous (to the crop) herbicide weed killers in the crop next year. Within two weeks, soil microbes will have destroyed any evidence of the chemical in the soil.
that being said, I'm more concerned with the genetic modification process of Roundup Ready crops than the actual Roundup. It's applied long before any portion of the plant has developed the food or feed portion such as the grain head.
NOW.... using glyphosate as a desiccant........ I had an argument with someone about using Roundup as a desiccant for grains to be used for food. I just didn't believe that the FDA would OK that process. I argued that it may have been labeled for seed crops, but surely not for food. Turns out I was wrong.
I believe your concern for this practice is warranted, and not just for Roundup. In researching other descants, it turns out that others are being used on the actual food part of the plant as well. Diquot, a non=selective weed killer used extensively to desiccate the above ground plant of the potato in order to promote skin-set that protects the tubers from bruising and disease introduction is also being used on food grains along with its cousin Paraquat. Common sense tells me that there are unhealthy levels of residue in those grains. Before Covid, I probably wouldn.t question the FDA's approval. Now, however, I question EVERYTHING my government tells me. It's quite obvious that regulatory capture is swaying FDA/Big Chemical interactions that are not in the best safety interests of the folks they are supposed to be protecting.
Wow, an interesting post, thanks.
Our neighboring farms across the river spray all their potatoes for desicating in late summer; I assume they use Diquot as you imply. So, is that a concern for use when we eat their potatoes or should I start planting my own?! It seems that as its use is to dessicate the leaves it may not reach the tubers themselves?
This process and chemical has been used for at least 5 decades. The desiccant is a contact killer whereas glyphosate is absorbed by the leaves and "trans-locates" to the roots where it does it's job killing the entire plant. Monsanto had a research lab near here testing a number of transgenic procedures. The potatoes they developed had the potential to drastically reduce insecticide usage by producing a very benign chemical in the leaves to kill Colorado Potato Beetles. The same chemical, BTW that the organic growers still spray on their potatoes today. They made the plants to produce this compound because in order for it to work, it has to be applied about every three days. An impossible task if you are growing 1500 acres. Anti-GMO activists did their dirty work and McCain Foods, one of the largest food processors in the world folded, refusing to buy any genetically modified potatoes for french frys and Monsanto abandoned the lines. Anyway, when they tried to make Roundup ready potatoes, they found that the tubers always rotted in storage when treated with glyphosate.at desiccation.
OK, thanks again Patriot. more questions / points.
So, Diquot the dessicant, should be fine for potatoes as it is a contact killer(leaves) and should not be expected to run down to the potatoes. . . is what I am hearing.
-- We have grown our own but lots of potato beetles are a pain; it may be worth it if I knew the name of the "benign" chemical so I could do as the "organic" farmers do. . . ?? suggestions on that name?
-- Glyphosate must not be the chemical in use as it causes storage rot. .
Dipel, and Thuricide are two products that have Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) as an active ingredient. Both products are available on Ebay and Amazon. Apply when the larvae are feeding ravenously, usually on hot days. The adult beetles don't eat or eat very little. Watch the underside of the leaves for the egg masses and start application then, BT will have to be re-applied after it rains, and usually about every three days.
Depending on how many potatoes you have, mechanical haulm removal works nearly as well as chemical. A weed whacker that will cut the stalk off near ground level works and a propane burner applied to the plants a couple times also works well. They only need to be exposed to the heat, not burned to a crisp as too much heat will damage the tubers near the surface.
BTW, Monsanto tried making a Roundup ready potato and that was when they discovered that the tubers would not keep.
Excellent and thanks.
Wife tells me diatomaceous earth particles suspended in water, sprayed works against potato beetles but she has not tried it since did not plant taters this year. . . hmmm.
DA could work but the trick is to get every bug to eat it.
What is the response from AI when asked "What is the toxicity of the process of starvation on a global level due to not having access to pesticides?"
Everything one does has risks. Even when eating, one can choke on a genetically modified taco and drop dead.
Well, OK but when was the last time someone took a slug of Diquat?!
The AI response you got applies to INGESTION not topical application to potato plant leaves with no migration to the tubers, eventually eaten by humans.
Ya' gotta watch how you use your little AI bot.
Garbage IN, Garbage OUT!
I would not eat potatoes grown like that. Maybe time to grow your own?
Wow
I wonder what is being done to crops like cotton that are not directly eaten. What a freak of nature that one's got to be.
Thanks for researching/posting that info. Makes total sense. Glyphosate products should not be used at all.
As usual, great information to digest and pass along to those that still want to know.
Great article. I’m a make things from scratch farm girl. There is so much processed food in the stores . The kids love it. I never bought it. Pizza pockets, taquitoes, burritos etc.My neighbor fed her kids processed food and they were always getting sick.
My grandson and his exchange student from Chile are playing soccer and having 2 hour practice everyday. Such great exercise. I was always grateful for soccer. All my kids played soccer except my oldest daughter and she took dance classes. Sports keep kids off of their phones, computers , TVs etc. I live in an area where kids can ride bikes , there is a bike trail about a mile from my house. My sons like to ride their bikes. My grandson doesn’t do outside exercise and her stamina is terrible. What to do.
Now for my confession. I live a block from the high school. All of my six children would come home at lunchtime and bring friends. My grandkids that go to the school would bring over friends. This year I have a grandson and the foreign exchange student ( he is awesome) and my granddaughter comes over for lunch. They bring their friends. We have anywhere from 9 - 14 kids everyday coming over to our house at lunchtime. Some bring lunch and some don’t. The high school caught fire about 1 1/2 years ago. There is no lunch room . They have a make shift lunch room in the foyer. Not a lot of room.
Now my dilemma is what to feed these hungry kids. Most of them are 14 year old boys which even if they bring a lunch they are still hungry.
Now for the confession part. I need something fast. I have been buying pizza pockets and taquitoes and burritos. They are fast toward up but I am filling guilty. Now my daughter is chipping in on the food as that is a lot of kids to fed. Any suggestions? I never fed my children this garbage and here I am. Taco soup , beef stew etc. You have to know that my kids are spaced 26 years apart and I had my own children in school for 39 consecutive years. I’m tired of cooking big meals. I’m still having a hard time cooking for two. But 14 kids is a lot. Help.
My mom had non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She used a lot of round-up in her large yard.
Things need to change. I think if we can get Trump and Vance along with RFK jr. we can make progress.
I have to say the kids are great kids. Very polite, clean up after themselves , say thank you and call me Grandma. Occasionally we make cookies. You have to know I love children.
Hey Melanie you're a great Mom & Grandma! Wow, amazed at what you do for these kids-- 14?! Whoa.
as to Round up. . . Heck, I still use it about 2x a summer to kill various weeds that just can't be stopped otherwise, but that is not a health concern as it never goes on garden stuff, just the weeds. . .
This is not a health concern? The residue goes into the soil, water and air. This is a health concern all the way around. Don't let your rational mind win on the health concern front. This is serious!
But it still goes in the soil. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
Don't give up, every little piece matters.
Growing season is coming to an end. They half an hour for lunch. That includes coming to my home and go back to school. If I have leftovers they eat them up.
So glad you both are doing so well! And you BOTH look great! Food is medicine and how we eat definitely matters! We act accordingly! 💗
May I recommend an online search for organic. non-GMO flour near you. From that you should be able to locate bakeries and bulk flour.
Because glyphosate is a disaster in our gut, many people decide that they are gluten intolerant and search for gluten free everything instead of glyphosate free food. Avoid conventional baked goods and if enough of us do that a market of GMO free products may appear.
AZURE!
The latest in our quest. We have a drop point 10 miles from home.
As people become accustomed to ever-increasing concentrations of glyphosate in their daily diets, we may surmise the endgame: Roundup-Ready humans.
Ironic in that as you flew out of San Antonio you may have flown over my wife spraying a particularly nasty, thorny vine with glyphosate
Neither of you plan on eating though.
OH MY!
We cannot grow food. Virtually no soil and now stage 4 water restrictions not allowing gardens
That’s really awful! I live in a condo with very little sun. The heavy trade winds also make it almost impossible to grow anything I currently have one avocado bush/tree and one small lemon tree both planted from seeds I sprouted. I think I may see some fruit in about 5 years! LOL Its like watching paint dry but I love them and talk to them daily
As long as they do not start answering you..... :-)
If they can't complete their genocide with drugs/vaccines, poisoned food or "sky poisons" ... they are opting for attempting to starve us to death!!!
Did you ask for comments from RFK Jr.?
I have been needing a kickstart to eat better. Thank you for the information and actual science. I grew up in a smsll town with one local doctor. We only saw him if we were sick. He always recommended home remedies.
When my mother was dying last year she asked my sister if she still wanted the set of medical books that came with our encyclopedias in the 60's. I made my sister take them. They are a treasure trove of how doctors handled everything from the common cold to broken bones. These books were published in 1963 before drugs were the fix for everything. They are filled with COMMON SENSE solutions and ideas.
I agree. My grandfather was a country doctor and I love reading his medical books, and diary, notes. My father remembers as a child, almost passing out from holding the ether mask while his father performed surgery on a patient lying on their dining room table!
Thank you for the jog to buy organic fruits and vegetables, Dr. Malone. I’ve resisted for a long thinking that, by washing everything, I’m getting rid of the residue. I don’t buy many processed food products but probably more than I should. Your push may be just what I needed. Thanks!
So, just buy Organic and soak briefly in vinegar/water solution to remove parasites.
Thanks for the inspiration. Just found a local farmer exchange market, not sure if it’s organic but we also eat less as we age so spending more money on quality for health and keeping up strength and energy is totally worth it. I remember a book years back that recommended not eating anything with ingredients your grandmother or you couldn’t recognize or pronounce.
The farmers markets are growing. We support as much as possible and learning how to do as much as possible. Don't think we will have chickens or goats anytime soon though....
Excellent article Drs. Malone . Thank you for reinforcing that better eating equals better life. Yes, it’s hard at first but it pays off in spades. Keep up the good stuff. Looking forward to more farm life articles too! God Bless everyone 🙏🏻
Can you share again what supplements you take on a daily basis?
