Video covers mechanism of high dietary fat causing chylomicron blood sludge, and LDL cholesterol rouleaux formation.  This increase in blood viscosity leads to increased blood pressure.  To pump a thicker fluid, a higher pressure must be used.  The main purpose of blood pressure is to get blood to the top of the brain.  Excess dietary sodium raises blood pressure, because it inhibits endothelial nitric oxide.  Conversely, more dietary potassium and magnesium are protective.  The ratio of potassium to sodium is important.  Richard Moore MD, Phd recommends to keep the ratio of K:Na at least 5:1.  Our ancestors likely had it about 25:1.  Plants have lots of potassium.  Other beneficial items are to obtain adequate sleep, avoid caffeine, avoid excess psychological stress.

Testimony Exposes FDA’s Deadly Failures

April 22, 2024

Today, I bring you one of the most remarkable statements ever given before a Senate Committee.

In this jaw-dropping testimony, epidemiologist Dr. David Graham blows the whistle on the FDA’s catastrophic failure to protect public health during the Vioxx scandal.

Dr. Graham reveals how the FDA ignored warning signs and allowed the deadly painkiller to remain on the market, leading to an estimated 60,000 deaths.

His chilling account exposes a culture of corruption and disregard for human life at the agency. Shockingly, 20 years later, little has changed – and recent controversies suggest things may have gotten even worse.

Watch Dr. Graham’s explosive testimony now and discover the truth about the FDA’s role in one of the biggest pharmaceutical scandals in history.

A Few Delicious Dishes I’ve Been Eating!

THESE ARE OIL-FREE BAKED CORN TORTILLA STRIPS!
Veggies sautéed oil-free in rice vinegar & served over whole wheat pasta
Oil-free potato O’Brien w/ natural ketchup (no high fructose corn syrup) & garbanzo bean/cabbage wrap in unleavened flatbread
Oatmeal w/ berries, splash of almond milk & few broccoli sprouts
Brown jazmine rice w/ shredded carrot, celery, onion, cruciferous veggies, blenderized nori sheet & rice vinegar sprinkled on top
Whole wheat pasta w/ tomato sauce, veggies, nutritional yeast & veggie balls

Those meatballs were perfect! I simply mashed some black beans, added dry rolled oats, healthy bbq sauce, added diced mushrooms & seasoning. Then I baked for 20 or 30 minutes. Delish!

EXERCISE:  I’ve been doing early morning powerwalks for 45 minutes inside the local indoor mall. Outdoor weather is getting nice & sunny, but the harsh Springtime winds are not always conducive to a pleasant 5k jog. Brief outdoor post-meal jogs are perfect!
