What Is the Best Diet for Diabetes?

  • —Legumes (beans), whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, with limited or no intake of processed foods and animal products—
  • Diets centered around plants “are especially potent in preventing [and treating] type 2 diabetes and have been associated with much lower rates of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular mortality, and cancer,” and vegetarian diets are associated with improved blood sugar control.

Carrot Dog Recipe

(Also see previously posted carrot dog recipe here)

Ingredients:

• 6-10 carrots depending on size (girth)

• ½ cup vegetable broth

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

• ¼ cup Bragg Liquid Aminos or tamari

• 1 tablespoon of liquid smoke

• 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika

• 1 tablespoon of maple syrup

• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

• 1 clove of minced garlic

• ½ teaspoon of ground fennel seed

• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

• 1 teaspoon of vegan Worcestershire sauce

• Sprinkle of ground clove

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together everything from vegetable broth on down.

2. Peel carrots and shape into “hot dog” shape.

3. Place carrots in boiling water for about ten minutes. As soon as you’re able to pierce them with a fork, they’re done. You don’t want to overcook them. Drain them and run the carrots under cold water until they are no longer hot.

4. Pierce carrots with a fork making lots of tiny holes for the marinade to seep in.

5. Place the carrots into the marinade for at least four hours. I prefer to use a flat-bottomed glass container rather than a plastic bag, but use what you have.

6. Cook carrots in either a non-stick pan, oven at 400 degrees about 15 minutes, slice in half and cook in a panini press, or the preferred method on a grill for a few minutes.

7. Serve on a whole-grain bun, potato roll, or Ezekiel bread with your favorite toppings such as ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, chopped onions, chopped pickles, or pickled jalapenos

Dr. McCullough Testifies in the Pennsylvania Senate

June 9, 2023

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

On Friday June 9, 2023, I returned to the Pennsylvania Senate on request by former military officer and American hero, Senator Doug Mastriano (R-33). The session was co-chaired by Senator Cris Dush (R-25). Co-presenters included Steve Kirsch, Founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, and attorney Tom Renz. I organized my comments along the lines of this outline:

  1. Update on the US design and blueprint of SARS-CoV-2 from Baric et al at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, funding by the NIH and outsourcing of the research plans via the EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in Wuhan, China.
  2. COVID-19 vaccine injury syndromes
    1. Cardiovascular
    2. Neurological
    3. Thrombotic
    4. Immunological
  3. Questions from Senators and Representatives answered
    1. Shedding
    2. Risk benefit analysis of COVID-19 vaccines
    3. Failure of vaccine efficacy
    4. Reason why SARS-CoV-2 was created
    5. Global results of mass indiscriminate COVID-19 vaccination—winners and losers

Please take the time to listen to this presentation on the record in the Pennsylvania Senate and feel free to use any or all of this testimony in your posts and critical conversations on this important matter.

Secret Push to Bury Paraquat’s Link to Parkinson’s Disease

July 14, 2023

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Paraquat is an herbicide and registered desiccant that has been used on American farms since 1964. A desiccant is a chemical that speeds up the ripening of the crop and dries it out, which facilitates harvesting and allows it to be harvested sooner than were the crop left to dry naturally
  • Fifty countries have banned paraquat due to its extreme toxicity and adverse effects on health. A single sip is lethal to a human. A considerable body of evidence also links paraquat to Parkinson’s disease
  • As of mid-March 2023, 2,998 lawsuits filed by farmers with Parkinson’s disease had been consolidated in Illinois federal court. The first bellwether trial is scheduled to begin in October 2023. Class actions have also been filed with state courts in California, Florida, Pennsylvania and Washington. The first state court trial is scheduled to begin in September 2023 in California
  • The discovery process has unearthed a trove of documents showing Syngenta knew as early as the 1960s that paraquat posed neurological risks and kept the evidence from regulators
  • Research shows paraquat becomes exponentially more hazardous in combination with plant lectins, as the lectins help shuttle paraquat into your brain, where it induces the neuronal degeneration seen in Parkinson’s disease. Many of the foods treated with paraquat are high-lectin foods, such as peas, beans and potatoes, so strive to buy organic whenever possible

First People Sickened By COVID-19 Were Chinese Scientists At Wuhan Institute Of Virology, Say US Government Sources

JUN 13, 2023

The three scientists were engaged in “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses when they fell ill

After years of official pronouncements to the contrary, significant new evidence has emerged that strengthens the case that the SARS-CoV-2 virus accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus, “patients zero,” included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses.

More than three years after the pandemic’s outbreak, many around the world had given up on learning the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the highly infectious respiratory virus that has killed millions, and the response to which shut down businesses and schools, upended societies, and caused enormous collateral damage.
