What are you breathing?! 😅 AirDoctor filter change out day (at home and work). There aren’t many inanimate objects I love —- the Vitamix, the nebulizer, the Nama juicer —- and the AirDoctor are some.

At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, which I’m not, these things are just amazing. We first got one when Nick was initially diagnosed with stage 3c cancer, with a 90% tumor blockage, and we chased after holistic modes of Healing. (He was declared NED - no evidence of disease - 6 months later and just passed his 6 year cancerversary). We have since added one to each bedroom and living area in the house, as well as the classroom I teach in and our work space. They even have the air *smelling* and tasting (?😋) clean. Removes 99.99% of viruses and bacteria (including H1N1, influenza, and coronaviruses) and captures airborne particles 0.003 microns in size. Impressive machines.

And great “white noise” makers too for the bedroom at night. 🌙🌟☺️

A number of people have asked what we use to nebulize when it is fitting to do so. Here is what we use and love — especially when everyone around us has influenza, or during busy/crowded travel events.

Together in nebulizer cup (wall plug-in power nebulizer):

5ml saline

2 drops 2% iodine

0.5-1.0 ml 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide

—-
At a different time, you can nebulize colloidal silver alone. Do not mix the 2 different formulas.

2ml into the nebulizer cup

Also pictured, some of our favorites for hearty immune system function, especially for when a virus feels like it’s trying to take hold, or all my students are sick and coughing all day. 😅💙

Quote: Researchers found that Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 destroyed 20% of cancer cells in lab tests:

Scientists at the Instituto de Biofísica Carlos Chagas Filho, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are exploring whether music could play a role in cancer treatment.

Led by Dr. Márcia Alves Marques Capella, the team exposed both healthy and cancerous cell cultures to different music genres. Remarkably, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 destroyed about 20% of cancer cells in just a few days, while leaving healthy cells unaffected. A similar effect was observed with György Ligeti’s Atmosphères, though Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos showed no measurable impact.

The exact mechanism behind these effects remains unknown, but researchers speculate that rhythm, frequency, or intensity could be key factors. Further experiments, including Brazilian Samba and Funk, are planned to uncover more about this intriguing phenomenon. While the research is in its early stages, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the potential of music as a non-invasive cancer therapy.

Want to boost your mood? Eat more fruits and veggies!

New research from twin studies reveals a surprising connection between depression and diet.

Here’s the scoop:
Researchers from UNSW Sydney’s Center for Healthy Brain Aging examined how the intake of fruits and vegetables affects depressive symptoms in people over 45. They studied 3,483 twins from Australia, Denmark, Sweden, and the US over 11 years.

The results?
Eating more fruits and veggies is linked to fewer symptoms of depression! Even a moderate intake of veggies made a difference, with high intake leading to the greatest improvements.

But here’s the kicker: Most people are still eating far below the recommended levels.

Plant food feed good gut bacteria and a healthy gut could be the key to mental well-being, with the microbiome playing a role in reducing inflammation linked to depression.

If you are prone to depression, why not try eating a diet rich in whole fruits and vegetables?

👉 Now, tell me: Have you noticed a mood boost from eating fruits and veggies? Drop it in the comments below!

“Colon cancer is relatively common but tricky to catch; it can only be confirmed with a colonoscopy or surgery. And a recent, so-far-unexplained rise in colon-cancer rates among younger people has ramped up urgency in learning more about how the disease works — and how to prevent it.

A new study points to a promising clue: a bacterium typically found in the human mouth. The research found that a specific subtype within a subspecies of Fusobacterium nucleatum — a microbe associated with dental plaque and gingivitis — was linked to colon-cancer growth and progression.

The results, according to the study’s authors, could lead to better, noninvasive methods for colon-cancer screening and could even inspire new therapies that specifically target these bacteria.” Repost: @‌applenews

✳️ You can inhibit Fusobacterium with food!

Specifically with a low protein high-fiber diet (whole food plant-based), and especially these Anti-Fuso foods:
-Green tea
-Garlic
-Wild Blueberries
-Apples
-Carrots
-Omega 3s from flax and chia seeds
-Black Raspberries
-Cinnamon
-Clove

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is used in blood laboratories to make blood clot. In blood transfusion medicine, PEG is a potentiating agent that enhances the interaction between red blood cells and antibodies. PEG competes with water for space around the red cell surface. The exclusion of water molecules allows red cells to get closer together, aka a clot.

PEG is also happens to be an ingredient in a particular drug formula that was “warp speeded” to the public with no long-term safety testing. It was added to the drug to stimulate an antibody immune response.

Beyond the clotting concern, another concern is that further exposure to PEG could trigger an inflammatory immune response and autoimmune conditions.

I’ve been developing a (year long) class for kids of all ages on (real) food and healing with the many tools God gives us. I have no idea where it will be taught one day, 😅 but He keeps directing my lesson plans and ideas, and I practice listening and praying.

Those who know a little of our family story know this became a real passion area of mine a year *before* Nick was diagnosed with Stage 3c colon cancer. THAT was a God thing - to place an intense interest in me, and a mountain of resources and research in my lap BEFORE it would be needed. 4 years ago today Nick had surgery for a 90% tumor blockage with cancer through the lymph system, and then made radical changes in a healing direction (without chemo or radiation). He has been “NED” (no evidence of disease) for 3.5 years, and that’s ALL GOD!! 🙌🏽

Of course I have my own areas I’m still healing in; and for some time I figured I shouldn’t teach in an area until I was all “fixed” myself. 😉 But God kept pushing me to start the class prep, showing me example after example of how He uses imperfect or broken people to do what He calls them to, and I finally gave in to the burning desire to start creating something like this (a course I’ve not seen done the same before).

We so often wait until people are hurting and broken and sick (in so many ways) before turning desperately to any solution that may help. Why not introduce these things to kids in small, age-fitting, ways so they have something to draw from throughout life when things get rocky. When I taught public high school and college courses, the health, family life, and psychology classes were my favorites to teach, hands down. BUT when you cannot openly include the Holy Spirit, prayer, and worship, in everything being taught, it leaves out the entire foundation for whole-person healing and wellness.

Long story short - I again have no idea where this full course will be taught one day in the future, but tomorrow I will get to share a tiny piece of one of my lessons on viruses, bacteria, and supporting our lymphatic and immune systems, with STEM classes full of kids where I can bring God’s AMAZING design of our bodies and the tools he gives us for real health and healing into the classroom. Excited! 😁

For a fun quiz game we will play:
Balloons = bacteria
Paper chads = viruses

We will do some experiments, go on a little outdoor quest (gotta get a little sunlight, fresh air, and movement in when we’re talking health), and taste some living whole food plant items that help put the GOOD bacteria we want into our guts’ microbiome (including an incredible anti-cancer, immune support smoothie I made fresh for students). 😋
