Interesting news from Russia - with thanks to Dana Ullman.

"On February 5, 2026, one of the leading news portals for the pharmaceutical industry in Russia reported on the appointment of Sergei Kolesnikov, MD, as the new deputy chairman of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ (RAS) Commission for Combating Pseudoscience. Dr. Kolesnikov is a prominent Russian medical scientist and physician with a distinguished academic and research career, including the following credentials:

• He is a Doctor of Medical Sciences (MD/Dr. Sc. (Med.)) and a professor.
• He is a Member (Academician) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), one of the highest scientific honors in Russia.
• He has served as Chief Scientific Officer at the Scientific Centre for Family Health and Human Reproduction Problems in Russia.

What makes this appointment especially newsworthy is that Dr. Kolesnikov has publicly expressed support for homeopathy—the alternative medical system based on highly diluted substances and the principle of similia similibus curentur (“like cures like”*)—a system that mainstream biomedical institutions have long labeled as pseudoscientific and lacking reliable evidence of effectiveness."

Did you know that in 1926, 75% of American medical remedies were natural and based on herbs, plants, animal extracts, and minerals?

Fast forward to 1955, and that number plummeted to just 25%, with synthetic drugs making up the vast majority. This shift from natural to synthetic medicine happened over just a few decades.

Why? Big Pharma slowly infiltrated medical schools, pushing pharmacology to the forefront. This wasn't about greater wisdom; it was about profit.

Now, they dismiss natural remedies as "folklore" while often modeling their own drugs after these very same natural compounds.

WHY INTERMITTENT FASTING HELPS IN REVERSING DIABETES IN LOW CARB DIET

Why should a diabetic FAST? Fasting lowers insulin levels and allows the body to use stored energy, which can improve insulin sensitivity over time.

•Approach: Strategies might include time-restricted eating (e.g., 16:8 fasting) or occasional extended fasts (24–72 hours).

ABOUT FASTING;

If you are:

• Below 30 years: Eat 2MAD between noon and sunset. First meal at 2PM and last meal at 7PM. Your diet should answer the W questions.

• 30 years - 35 years: Eat 2MAD between 3 pm and 7 pm.

• 35 years and above: Eat OMAD between 4 pm and 6 pm.

As you age, your metabolic machinery slows down, and your hormones decline.

Your gut slugs and the gut bacteria translocate to other body tissues.

Don't load your metabolism, hormones, and gut with unnecessary meals.

Most people eat 3 meals+ because they are bored, idle, or because it is a cultural conditioning.

In addition, embrace,

• Weekly fasting, — 48 hours,

• Monthly fasting, — 72 hours,

• Yearly fasting, — 120 hours.

This is how to achieve optimal health status free from hospital slavery.

PS: If you still believe fasting cause ulcers then you are still a slave. Continue suffering.

KEY : OMAD is One Meal A Day while 2MAD is 2 Meals A Day.

If you find it challenging to start OMAD,

• Start with 2MAD (Two Meals A Day)

• But ensure it is clean. Don't eat anything available and make sure it's cooked well with right ingredients.

First meal at 12 PM, last meal by 7 PM.

Then, in the 4th WEEK, push the first meal to 2 PM and the last meal to 6 PM.

Then, at the 6th WEEK, push the first meal to 3 PM and the last meal to 5 PM.

Then, at the 8th WEEK, go OMAD between 2 PM and 4 PM, and never look back.

We EAT TO LIVE we do not LIVE TO EAT!

FRUITS ( Mangos)

A mango (Modern fruit) has 46 grams of sugar.

1 teaspoon of sugar has 4 grams of sugar. Therefore one of these mango has approximately 12 teaspoons of sugar.

Then you find a doctor or a nutritionist advising patients with fatty liver, diabetes and hypertension how they should “eat alot of fruits” to “get vitamins “

Then they wonder why the blood sugar and the blood pressure continue showing high figures despite being on medicine religiously.

What you should know:

- Modern fruits have no fibre.

- Modern fruits have no nutrients.

- Modern fruits are genetically engineered therefore they are not natural.

- Modern fruits are not seasonal, therefore not natural.

- Modern fruits have copious amounts of fructose sugar, therefore not safe for your gut and liver.

- People who insist on eating these modern fruits are addicted to sugar and therefore think the sugar in fruits is safe.

- There is nothing like “natural sugar”. Sugar is just sugar. Same molecules. Same metabolic pathways. Same consequences.

- People suffering from metabolic ailments like hypertension, diabetes, and cancer should stay away from fruits.

Bonus:

Fruits don’t tilt your glycemic index ( raising blood sugar) because fructose sugar is not like glucose which is easily availed to the metabolic receptors.

Fructose is ONLY metabolized in the liver where it is converted to triglycerides leading to a fatty liver or uric acid leading to gout.

PS: There is no natural sugar or artificial sugar.

Sugar is sugar.

Once it gets into the body it becomes glucose or fructose or galactose irrespective of the form or the source. The body doesn’t say;

“Hello boss, welcome to the body, you are sugar from fruits or milk, go that way in heaven.”

Or

“You! You are a culprit, a sinner, sugar from sodas, go that way to hell.”

Once sugar lands in the body it follows its pathway to metabolism or storage.

Fructose goes to the liver for metabolism and conversion to triglycerides.

Glucose and galactose goes into cells for glycolysis or glycogenesis.

One thing that keeps bothering me is how insulin resistance is still being discussed as if it starts in the pancreas.

That framing is not only incomplete, it delays real prevention.

As longevists, this is obvious to us because, insulin resistance is not a pancreatic disease first, it is an inflammatory disease first.

The pancreas only shows up later, after years of damage elsewhere.

So where does it really begin?

In the gut. In the immune system. In chronic, low-grade inflammation that quietly disrupts insulin signaling long before blood sugar “numbers” look abnormal.

Here’s the upstream biology most contemporary clinicians miss.

Insulin works by binding to receptors on cells and triggering intracellular signaling cascades that allow glucose to enter the cell.

Chronic inflammation interferes with this signaling through cytokines like TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP, which blunt insulin receptor sensitivity at the cellular level.

Long before the pancreas struggles to compensate by pumping out more insulin, the cells have already stopped listening.

Why does inflammation rise in the first place?

Gut dysfunction.

A damaged gut barrier allows endotoxins like lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to leak into circulation, activating the immune system daily. This state, metabolic endotoxemia, keeps the body inflamed even when you “feel fine.”

Now ask yourself the uncomfortable question, what is damaging the gut so consistently?

Ultra-processed foods.

Excess refined carbohydrates.

Added sugars.

Industrial seed oils.

These are not neutral calories.

They alter the gut microbiome, reduce microbial diversity, thin the mucus layer, and weaken tight junctions.

Once the gut becomes permeable, inflammation becomes the default state. And once inflammation is chronic, insulin resistance becomes inevitable. Treating this by blaming the pancreas or rushing to glucose-lowering drugs without addressing gut health is like blaming the fire alarm for the fire.

This is where mainstream care gets it wrong.

The focus is classically REACTIVE - fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin shots, metformin.

Meantime, no one asks early enough, why is the gut inflamed?

Why are immune pathways constantly activated?

Why are cells metabolically deaf?

Insulin resistance is not a sudden failure, it is a long biological protest. And until we stop feeding the inflammation that drives it, we will keep managing symptoms instead of restoring metabolic intelligence.

*Special for friends on World Heart Day*

Today is September 29, that means World Heart Day. This day is dedicated to the precious engine of our body that without tired, without stopping, remains the beat of our life every moment - our heart. But the question is do we respect her heartbeat too? Or putting an unnecessary burden on her by ignoring her?

In today's age, heart diseases are not limited to the elderly. Heart attack of teens aged 30-40 has not been unusual today. This is a concern, but the good news is they can be prevented. Let's understand some deep things about heart health today.

Friends, our lifestyle has become the biggest enemy of the heart:

1. Motionless lifestyle: sticking to the chair, no physical effort. The heart is a muscle, if it doesn't work it will be weak.
2. Flood of junk food: food full of fried, excessive salt, sugar and harmful fats. It collects garbage (plaque) in blood vessels, making it difficult to reach the heart.
3. Stress - Silent Killer of the Heart: Office pressure, Tension of personal life. Constant stress increases blood pressure and puts heart pressure.
4. Smoking and alcohol: These directly damage heart veins, increase blood pressure and lower good cholesterol (HDL).
5. Sleep deficiency: Not taking full 7-8 hours of sleep is also harmful to the heart. Sleep is time for body repair.

If you want to keep your heart correct, then follow these rules:

Protection from heart disease is in your hand. A little awareness can save your life.

1. Walk, sweat: Brrisk Walk is a must for at least 30-40 minute fast daily. Exercises like yoga, cycling, swimming make the heart strong.
2. Heart will love this food:
· Green vegetables and colorful fruits: antioxidants and fiber in them protect the heart.
· Proven Grains: Adopt options like Oats, Oatmeal, Brown Rice.
· Pulses and almond-walnuts like Mayve: these are good sources of healthy fat and protein.
· Less salt, less sugar, less oil: take special care of it.
3. Keep control on weight: obesity is one of the main causes of heart diseases. Aim to keep waist size 90 cm in men and below 80 cm in women.
4. Say 'bye-bye' to stress: Meditation, do deep breathing exercises, fulfill your hobbies and spend quality time with family and friends.
5. Regular checkup is necessary: Be sure to get your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar tested once a year after the age of 30. These are silent killers, whose address is only through investigation.
6. Smoking repentance and rein on alcohol: to distance them completely is the best gift for the heart.

The heart is not just a sign of love or emoji to share. This is the root of life. It beats for us day and night, so can't we make small healthy changes to our lifestyle for it?

Today on World Heart Day, make a promise from your heart. Promise you'll listen to her, take care of her. Because a healthy heart is the guarantee of a healthy, happy and long life.

Remember, heart health is in your hands. A little hard work and discipline can save you from serious hazards like heart attacks and strokes.

And yes, very happy to share with you a few homeopathic remedies that are excellent for your heart; one main being Crataegus Oxycantha, also known as Hawthorn. This is a precious blessing of nature known for centuries for heart health. I hope you will definitely find this information beneficial.

Till then take care of yourself and your heart.

Your heart is your partner, take care of it.
Be healthy, be happy!

Laboratory research shows dandelion root extract killed more than 90% of colon cancer cells within 48 hours, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The extract triggered multiple cell-death pathways, even in cancers lacking the tumor-suppressor gene p53. In mice, it also slowed tumor growth without toxicity. Scientists stress that findings are preliminary and human clinical trials are still needed.

HOMEOPATHY FOR FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Fatty liver disease is a common condition caused by having too much fat build up in liver, accumulation of triglycerides and other fats in the liver cells. A healthy liver contains a small amount of fat. It becomes a problem when it reaches 5% to 10% of liver’s weight.
