Dementia is mostly avoidable. Of a dozen or so known risk factors, definitely avoid these three…

Nearly half of all dementia cases in the U.S. may be linked to a dozen modifiable risk factors—most notably high blood pressure, obesity and physical inactivity, according to new research. The findings suggest a large portion of dementia cases could be prevented, especially among Black and Hispani...

100% COVID-19 death protection likely with vitamin D, maybe.

25-Hydroxy Vitamin D status >50 ng/mL appears to be associated with virtually 100% protection against COVID-19 death.
Patients not supplementing D3 invariably test below 50 ng/mL. Most patients need a daily 5,000 iu D3 dose to achieve the protective level and many patient require a 50-100% higher dose to achieve optimal lab values. Be sure to get tested every 6-12 months to establish the dosage best suited for you.

The datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than just a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.

This is not a political post, it’s information we should all know. Based upon the majority of research I’ve reviewed, my opinion is superior disease control is achieved with additional other measures. It appears the approach cetain countries have used to CHEAPLY minimize infection, with far lower per-capita testing, is too cheap to be accepted by our political elites on all sides (sorry, it turns out this post is somewhat political, albeit meta-political)

What foods trigger heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes and mood disorders?

Sugar, refined grains and vegetable oils high in omega-6 fatty acids.

A recent publication by Malhotra1 was refreshing, inspiring and hit on an important topic that has been heavily debated for over 50 years, that is, are saturated fats as bad as we have been led to believe? The vilification of saturated fat by Keys2 began two decades before the seven countries stud.....

Five (5) fruits and vegetables daily keeps the reaper away. Leafy green vegetables are better than potatoes and corn -don’t count those. Start your day with a stealth salad, a smoothie that contains a handful of organic greens and frozen fruit.

In a study published in Circulation, adults who consumed five servings of fruits and vegetables each day were less likely to die early. This associated reduced risk included overall death as well as deaths related to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease. The review, led by researc...

Who died from what in 2020?
(The non-politicized version.)

Deaths from almost all leading causes of death increased in 2020, not including deaths from SARScov2. Sourced from the national Vital Statistics archive and reported recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the data are as follows:

• There were 500,000 more deaths in 2020 compared to 2019, an 18% increase.
• COVID-19 accounted for nearly 350,000 deaths.
• Heart disease deaths increased 5% increase, the largest heart disease deaths increase since 2012.
• Cancer deaths were flat.
• Unintentional injuries increased 11%. These are deaths largely due to automobile accidents, falls, and drug overdose. According to the National Safety Council’s preliminary estimates, death rates on the roads last year spiked 24% over the previous 12-month period, despite miles driven dropping 13%. The increase in the rate of death is the highest estimated year-over-year jump that NSC has calculated since 1924 – 96 years.
• Stroke deaths increased 6%, in line with the numbers on heart disease above.
• On a positive note, there were 3% less chronic lower respiratory diseases deaths.
• Alzheimer’s disease deaths increased 10%.
• Diabetes deaths increased 15%, the largest relative increase in mortality among all the usual leading causes of death.
• Deaths from influenza and pneumonia deaths increased 8%. This information contradicts what has been reported in the mainstream media, that COVID-19 mask mandates and lockdowns “killed the flu.” While the 8% fluctuation is not an unusual fluctuation compared to previous years, the mainstream media has repeatedly misguided the public on this issue, claiming the COVID-19 recommended mask mandates, social distancing and frequent hand washing have all “killed the flu” in 2020.
• There were almost 6% fewer su***des deaths. Other evidence suggests this positive data point is likely confounded by troubling spikes in life threatening mood disorders and reported su***de increases in our most vulnerable members of society, including our veterans.

We can expect a lot of commentary and media “spin” on this data in the coming months and years. Stay tuned!

COVID19 is worse than most people realize. The scale to which we’ve lost lives and livelihoods due to COVID19 is horrific, but horror doesn’t stop at these short-term realized losses. It may take many years to know the long-term impact of this disease. Stay safe! Always!

Researchers from Ohio State University found that 30% of more than two dozen student athletes who recovered from COVID-19 exhibited cellular heart damage, and 15% showed signs of heart inflammation.

Stem Cells in the news again, now treating the most severe COVID patients. This is very good news for patients with other severe lung diseases. Want to know whether stem cells are right for you? Ask Dr. Jacobs.

Study looked at treating severe COVID-19 with umbilical-cord derived mesenchymal stem cells. University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers led a unique and groundbreaking randomized controlled trial showing umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell infusions safely reduce risk of d

General health reminder: avoid or greatly limit packaged foods. Shop mostly in the perimeter, where fresh produce is located.

Be sure to take you multi, extra C and D3-K2 supplements too. Together, eating well and taking your supplements may mean the difference between life and death this COVID/cold and flu season. Say safe everyone!

Industrially produced foods, such as snacks, chips, convenience foods, carbonated drinks, increase the risk of death, especially from cardiovascular causes. Supermarket shelves are increasingly flooded with foods produced by extensive industrial processing, generally low in essential nutrients, h

POP QUIZ:
What's missing from this public service announcement?...

The major omissions are 1) testing positive, and 2) social tracing to identify all positive associated cases to eradicate the disease completely.

Also, 3) healthy food, supplementation and lifestyle for both prevention and active treatment.

Lockdown isn't a containment strategy that effectively eradicates the disease and only serves to perpetuate the disease at a "flattened curve" rate.

Tracing and focused quarantines are the key. Let's do this!
