Stop drinking diet soda!

New long-term research indicates that consuming just one artificially sweetened soda daily increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 38%, a significantly higher risk than the 23% associated with regular sugary drinks.

Scientists suggest that artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose may disrupt the gut microbiome and interfere with the body's insulin and glucose regulation.

This extensive 14-year study involving over 36,000 individuals concludes that "diet" and "zero" sodas are not a harmless alternative, prompting experts to recommend moderation or complete avoidance for better long-term health.

A landmark study, published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, captured the first-ever recording of a dying human brain.

The subject was an 87‑year‑old man who died of a heart attack while undergoing EEG monitoring for epilepsy.

Researchers recorded about 900 seconds of brain activity surrounding his death, including the 30 seconds before and after his heart stopped.

In that window, they found changes in gamma, as well as delta, theta, alpha, and beta oscillations—brain wave patterns linked to memory recall, dreaming, and meditation.

These suggest a “last recall” of life events—what people often describe as life “flashing before your eyes”.

Additional reporting in 2025 reaffirmed these findings, noting their potential implications for our definition of death and even considerations like organ donation timing.

After decades of research, scientists have finally identified a specific gut bacterium linked to multiple sclerosis (MS). The microbe appears to trigger autoimmune responses in genetically susceptible individuals, attacking the nervous system.

This breakthrough opens the door for new therapies and early diagnostics. By altering gut microbiota or using targeted antibiotics, doctors could potentially prevent or halt MS before symptoms progress.

The gut-brain connection continues to reveal powerful medical insights.

Si Shen Cong, a group of points that’s great for headache, memory loss, dizziness, and epilepsy. 🧠 Don’t let it give you the heebie jeebies, the scalp is painless to needle, and it’s so effective.
Believe it or not, I’ve had amazing success with an epileptic patient that modern medicine gave up on. She’s happily had a baby since her seizures have remitted, something that no one thought was possible. Acupuncture is amazing, my friends.

Watch the traction on the babies head in this birth. I actually gasped for a moment when I saw how much the baby’s neck tractioned. This is why we adjust babies post birth. Pediatric adjustments are only gentle fingertip pressure, and gentle massage like movements.

When I feel something respiratory coming on, I don’t wait around to get worse — I support my body right away. 💪🌿

Here’s (some of) what I reach for when I start feeling under the weather:

✨ Homeopathy – gentle, targeted, and powerful when chosen correctly. Guna Flu has been my favorite lately!
✨ NAC – helps break up mucus and supports detox pathways.
✨ Vitamin C & D – immune system essentials.
✨ Sunshine – nature’s original medicine (and a mood booster!).
✨ REST – always underrated but absolutely essential.

I believe in giving my body the tools it needs and then getting out of the way so it can do what it’s designed to do — heal. 🌞💛

What do you do when you’re starting to feel sick?

I’m really excited about this product. If you have methylation issues, you know you don’t want to be taking folic acid. However, some people can over methylate with 5MTHF. SP created a formula with natural stable folate. I will be adding this ASAP to my own regimen!

Music heals 🎶 🩷

Music literally has the power to heal.

Scientists at the Instituto de Biofísica Carlos Chagas Filho, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, are investigating a unique approach to cancer treatment — music.

Led by Dr. Márcia Alves Marques Capella, the research team exposed both healthy and cancerous cells to different musical compositions. Intriguingly, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 was found to destroy about 20% of cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched.

A similar effect was noted with György Ligeti’s Atmosphères, while Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos showed no impact. The researchers believe that certain elements of music, such as rhythm and frequency, might play a crucial role in these effects.

Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, this study opens the door to new possibilities in non-invasive cancer treatment.
