Hello readers! Today, April 29th, 2017, I have done an experiment on various different waters purchased from the store, water from the tap, as well as water that has been treated using a One Water Systems machine.
Here we have:
Arrowhead
Smart Water
Nestle Pure Life
Dasani
Fiji
Core Hydration
Aquafina
Evian
Life Wtr
Voss
One Water Systems
Tap Water
I will be putting the water through 4 different tests. There will be a pH Test, Chlorine Test, Hardness Test, and Taste Test. There will not be any bias going into these tests and will just have the information presented as I have gathered it
Very interesting list of plant-based opinions on the c19 vaccine. Most interesting are those who previously questioned vaccines, but acquiesced to this (untested) one. Nevertheless, the choice was theirs alone.
In this list Nutritional Biochemist Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery strike me as most informative, rational, clear thinking. A shout-out also to Cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn.
We humans lost a big chunk of our common sense these past 3 1/2 years. We stopped reasoning through issues & proceeded based solely upon our fear & emotions. I do not mean to imply I was immune, I was not! It has been a real eye-opener for me.
I vehemently support free personal choice when it comes to faith, politics, medicine, diet, etc. My disappointment has evolved in the revelation that even the most educated among us refused to question & research the “facts” around covid – both the virus & the vaccine. So what else are we embracing without question? Why has inquiry become taboo? (That’s a good question for journalists. They are an embarrassment to their profession, as so many physicians & research scientists have become.)
Suffice to say, I have learned more about human nature in these past few years than I had in a lifetime. The disappointment makes me feel old & tired like an elderly woman. But I am not old. I am like a newborn kitten whose eyes are finally becoming open & clear.

Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda, PhD is a Professor at the Salk Institute in California, where he conducts critical research on the circadian regulation of behaviour, physiology, and metabolism. His discoveries include identifying the role of blue-light sensing cells in the retina, which influence our primary circadian clock, mood, and the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Additionally, Dr Panda’s work on time-restricted feeding (TRF) has highlighted its potential in preventing and reversing metabolic diseases. Among his accolades are the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research and the Dana Foundation Award in Brain and Immune System Imaging. With a strong foundation in research, Dr Panda brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion on circadian rhythms.
Specifically, we discuss:

In this episode, we dive deep into the recent, much anticipated randomized controlled trial on the MIND diet. The headlines were ablaze with the dissapointing, less-than-stellar results of the study, but was it truly the diet that didn’t work as well as it should have, or was the methodology flawed?
We discussed the background of the findings on the MIND diet in previous studies and its effect on cognitive health, the detailed methodology of the current randomized controlled trial, its outcomes and how it impacts our understanding of nutrition and brain health.

we delve deep into the fascinating world of nutritional science, as we dissect the highly anticipated Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of the MIND Diet. Join us on this journey as we scrutinize the study’s methodology, uncover overlooked aspects, and explore its implications for cognitive health. Discover the surprising results and potential flaws in the trial, which aimed to decipher the impact of the MIND Diet on cognitive decline. From dietary interventions to unexpected challenges like the global pandemic, we leave no stone unturned. Join us in this quest for truth and understanding in the realm of nutrition, lifestyle, and cognitive well-being.
