A few misunderstood beliefs about health the population should consider:

1. When something is regulated, it does not mean it is safe. Plenty of regulated chemicals have eventually been pulled after decades of public health damage. Lead, thilidimide, etc

2. Government health agencies are not immune to high levels of scientific corruption and lobbying. Take the CDC SPIDER from 2016. It was a large group of scientists in the CDC who wrote a letter to the CDC Chief stating the problems with unethical research, misleading data, and political agendas within the CDC. Yes, the CDC was a heavily corrupt organization and their own scientists felt that way. Is it fixed now? Who knows.

3. We don't always know what 'safe levels' of something are. When we're told a certain amount of lead or mercury is safe in our food supply, this is not based on science, it's based on lobbying. If you were to ask when is a safe level of these substances in our bodies the answer would be zero, because the ways in which we find them in our food are not natural compounds. The planet doesn't put these things in our food naturally; we did. Big Agriculture has to provide food laced with these toxins, so they lobby regulators to set 'safe levels' at an amount people will find in their food because we can't get rid of it due to our farming, pesticide and pollution practices.

4. A study can find that a singular substance is not that harmful to the body, and so it gets approved. But when there are 10,000 of those substances producing a load on the body, it's an entirely different story how we describe toxins in our environment. What we're effectively doing with reductionist science is missing the fact we've created a soup of toxins in our environment that is causing the general public to be sick. Then we take a measurement of 'what is healthy' based on a sick population.

Many scientists are clearly stating that while genetics play some role, the rapid rise in cancer rates and disease around the world points more strongly to environmental and lifestyle factors tied to modern living. Things like industrial toxins, pesticides, plastics, highly processed foods, sedentary habits, and polluted air and water are being recognized as significant drivers.

WE, humans, created all of this disease. It was not the natural world.

The concern is that our everyday environment is saturated with substances and practices our bodies weren’t designed to handle, and this constant exposure may quietly fuel disease over time.

Yet another reason to take high doses of Vitamin D!

🌞 Vitamin D may literally slow down aging at the cellular level!

A groundbreaking clinical trial has found that daily vitamin D3 supplements could help preserve telomeres—the protective DNA caps at the ends of chromosomes—effectively delaying biological aging.

🔬 In a sub-study of the large VITAL trial, researchers from Mass General Brigham and the Medical College of Georgia followed more than 1,000 adults for four years. Participants who took 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily had significantly less telomere shortening than those on a placebo. This difference translates to a slowing of cellular aging by nearly three years.

Telomeres naturally shorten as we age, and their erosion is linked to age-related conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders. This trial is the first to provide long-term randomized evidence that vitamin D supplementation can protect telomeres, reinforcing its role in healthy aging.

Interestingly, omega-3 fatty acid supplements showed no effect on telomeres in the same study. While more research is needed to confirm long-term benefits, these findings suggest that something as simple as maintaining healthy vitamin D levels could be a powerful, widely accessible way to support longevity.

This is totally correct yet so many GPs and even some cancer specialists still prescribe Calcium on it's own, or if you're lucky, Calcium with Vitamin D..
It's so irresponsible, especially for menopausal women who are more prone to osteoporosis & those have even been diagnosed with it.

An imbalance of these essential electrolytes/Vitamins/Minerals plays havoc with hormone balance- the immune system, messes with blood pressure, bone strength, heart rate, causes muscle cramps, anxiety and poor sleep.

No Magnesium or K2 is included with the prescriptive meds or even
mentioned as important - they are both crucial to maintain optimum health...
If you dont take calcium in a readily absorbable form with the correct balance/ratio of Magnesium, K2 & D3 it doesnt reach the bones and instead blocks & calcifies the arteries..

We are being let down so badly by those who are meant to look after us!

We’ve been taught to think antibiotics are harmless — a quick fix for an infection. But few people realize the long-term cost.

Every round doesn’t just wipe out the “bad bugs”…it strips away the good ones your body depends on to fuel your cells, protect your DNA, and fight disease.

Your gut is the foundation of your immune system, and when it’s compromised, every other part of your health takes a hit — from your energy, to your hormones, to your ability to defend against chronic illness.
This is why it’s vital to protect your gut health with organic, whole foods (especially fermented foods), avoid sugars & processed foods, take probiotics, and do your best to lower stress and balance cortisol.
