And welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural wild world to recover our natural health and regain our rights and freedoms. And it's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg. It's 81 degrees in clear skies. Storms no longer around, which is very nice, folks. Please pick up our Health Signals newsletter. Got a new one coming out on the 15th. So it comes out on the 1st and the 15th. Follows the show. So the past issue follows the past two weeks that we've been doing, starts off with what the brain senses in glucose and how the brain works with glucose. And I'd also like to remind you to pick up the primal edge, our one-shot wonders, over 310 organic cell-ready liquid ingredients, makes it easy to take. And we've got a lot of plant-based stuff in here, which is really cool because this is all the nutrition you need to be healthy. It's all sensitized for you. It's easy to take, tastes pretty good. And one shot will do it for you. So I take this every single morning, and so does Paige. And Paige is not here today. She's in Tennessee getting her jaw adjusted again. So she'll be back next week. I want to start off with this thing I saw on GreenMed Info talking about microwaves. And if you grew up, by the way, Thursday is going to be my birthday. It's kind of a big one because it's 75 years. And all I want for my birthday is really another 75. So we'll see if that happens or not. But the important thing is to be healthy at 75 and not be crippled and not be sick and not feel bad. Feeling aches and pains. I know in the last couple of weeks I've had lots of aches and pains. The storm was close, a lot of activity with the sun. And that brings about a lot of not feeling good. And I certainly felt it doesn't hurt that or doesn't help that people try to choke me at Jiu Jitsu either. But that's another story. Anyway, I got a nice massage yesterday. I'm feeling pretty good. But I wanted to go back a little bit. I remember in the 50s and 60s when we were cooking things, most of the things we prepared were in the oven or on a stove top. You know, chicken was baked in the oven. Vegetables were either steamed, baked or sauteed. And food was whole and fresh. Even a TV dinner was baked in the oven. Probably took only 15 minutes or so. And then all of a sudden science and technology brought us the microwave oven that could heat food rapidly from about 30 seconds to maybe a couple of minutes. Now the industry claimed that microwave cooking protects the nutrients, the nutrient contents of food. And somehow in tasting foods that came out of the microwave and I noticed that a lot of times the texture changes. Some of it really turns into rubber and things like that. Foods cooked or reheated in microwave often become rubbery and lack the savory smells and the flavors that came from cooking slowly and longer. Nevertheless, people really bought the convenience. I mean, we were living more in a fast-paced world. This is around the same time that women started coming into the workforce. Before that, it was one person in the household usually went to work. And of course, the schools were getting more. Not only did we had grade ones through eight, but we also had the kindergarten. And then as the women started working more and more, we had the preschool. So it became more advantageous, let's say, to get food prepared a lot quicker. And of course, the convenience food that I always talked about, like the corn flakes and things like that, became part of that also because it was much faster if the kid could pour it himself and put the milk in there and boom, you're already set to go. So the science, which had been supported by the food industry, had continued to claim that the health benefits of a microwave cooking was real. But recently, a published report said they really questioned the health benefits of microwaves food. And does that mean that an occasional microwave meal will be harmful? That's probably, I doubt that. I'd say if you're doing it on a regular basis, this is where the problem comes in. And that's pretty much with everything, whether you're smoking cigarettes or the new vaping and things like that. If you're doing it on a regular basis, you're going to have problems. And with a microwave, we found this out, too. And my wife and I threw our microwave out about 12 years ago. Now, three studies of hysterical food composition have shown that five to 40% declines in some of the minerals in fresh produce. And another study found a similar decline in our protein sources. In 1999, Scandinavian study of cooking asparagus spears found that microwaving caused a reduction in the vitamins. A study of garlic, as little as 60 seconds of microwave heating was enough to inactivate its alanase nase, which is the garlic's principal active ingredients against cancer. A study published in November of 2003 issued in the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture found that broccoli zapped in their microwave with a little water lost up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants. And by comparison, steamed broccoli lost only 11% or fewer of its antioxidants. There were also reductions in the different compounds that make up the fluids. But the minerals levels in the broccoli seem to be remain intact. Now, a recent Australian study showed that microwave caused a higher degree of protein unfolding than conventional heating. Now, I looked up protein unfolding and really couldn't find anything on it, but I'm thinking what happens is the structure itself of the protein gets compromised. And I found this out. If you heat some pizza in there, you find that the cheese gets very rubbery and I think this is what they're talking about. Microwaving can destroy the essential disease-fighting agents in breast milk that offer protection for your baby. In 1992, they found that microwave breast milk lost the liosum enzyme activity, antibodies, and it also fuzz through the growth of more potentially pathological, not pathological, pathogenic bacteria. The more damage was done to the milk by microwaving the nailium methods of heating, microwave appears to really, it heats it from the inside from the beginning in very high temperatures. So, if you're cooking milk very slow is the method that to do it. So, I don't recommend using microwave ovens at all. Though if you're going to maybe put something in for 30 seconds and you do this once a month or so, it's probably not going to hurt you. I think it's the stuff that you do on a regular basis. Additionally, microwaving creates new compounds that are not found in humans or in nature. We don't know yet what these compounds are doing to the body, but they are not health-promoting. Eating fresh and cooked or minimally heated fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs and spices are the basis of eating healthy. It says here, with whole grains and legumes, cooking them on a stove top by boiling them and simmering them until tender is advised. For fresh food, steaming, sauteing, baking or blending in a slow crock pot for soups is advised. Dairy products such as raw milk from goats and cows or sheep are the most nutritional rich when they're unheated. Raw and organic cheese is best to add to salads. So they just don't recommend any of this kind of stuff at all, and I think that's a good line. We'll be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you. Something specifically formulated to help with weight loss, better sleep, stress reduction, and the need to detox.

So please do that. So the next subject I want to talk about is sodas. And if you're still drinking sodas, you must have been hiding from my program because I stopped drinking those. I was never really a big soda drinker. I maybe had one once in a little while, but I remember I never really enjoyed it that much, and it was the little coax in the beginning that were kind of cool. But later on, once I started getting into thinking about health, back in the 60s, I dropped the sodas and switched over to mostly just water. So just water is coffee and tea and a little alcohol, a little milk if you want to, and you're good to go. But sodas, a lot of people have switched over from regular sodas to diet sodas thinking this is a better choice, okay? And I'm here to tell you this is not the better choice. So the regular consumption of soft drinks, both sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened, was associated with a greater risk of all causes of death, according to the research published in the JAMA internal medicine. People who drank two or more glasses of soft drinks per day had a higher risk of mortality than those who consumed even one glass per month, less than one glass per month. So this study, one of the largest of its kind, tracked over a half a million men and women from 10 countries in Europe. Now in Europe, I know they don't drink as much sodas, but I think it's probably rising as we go. But it found that consumption of two or more glasses of artificially sweetened soft drinks a day was positively associated with deaths from circulatory diseases. For sugar sweetened soft drinks, one or more glasses a day was associated with deaths from digestive diseases including diseases of the liver, the appendix, pancreas, and the intestines. The researchers recruited people from Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands, and Norway, Spain, and Sweden, quite a few people. This was between 1992 and 2000 surveying them on the food and drink consumption. Participants were excluded if they reported incidents of cancer, heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. The mean age was 50.8 and 70.1% of men, 50.8 men and 71% of the participants were women. The similar results were shown in the studies, other studies, but the researchers cautioned that elevated soft drink consumption may be a marker for overall unhealthy lifestyles. In one study, high soft drink consumers had a high or body mass index to BMI and were more likely to be current tobacco smokers also that just adds to the whole thing. We made statistical adjustments in our analysis for the BMI smoking habits and the other mortality risk, which may have biased our results. He says the researchers saw similar associations in smoker and non-smokers as well as lean and obese participants, which in the case of the association between soft drinks and mortality is not strong enough. That's influenced by smoking or even by your body mass index. The results of the study were significant to Sarah Reinhart. She was the lead food systems analyst for the Union of Concerned Scientists. It reinforces a fact that won't surprise people in the nutrition field process. Food loaded with artificial grains will never be the magic bullet for better health, no matter how low in sugar they are. Our bodies are smarter than that. Yeah, it's really, I mean, soda is soda, no matter what, and I really thought years ago that probably the unsweetened kind and the ones with the fake sugar in it probably were worse because of the chemical that is involved in that. Of course, now we have the other thing that's in there that we didn't have back in the 50s and 60s, so it was just had the sugar in it. But now we have the corn syrup and the fructose. So that makes it worse. It really plays havoc with our senses, with the ability for our body to find homostasis. It just scrambles everything. A lot of people who are hooked on these things are drinking five, six, seven. I know a couple of people that drink maybe a dozen of these a day. Huge, huge problem. The New European study is somewhat inconsistent with earlier findings. Lieberman says he's the director of nutrition. He said in the new study, the risk of dying for any cause is strongly linked to people who drank more diet drinks than the ones who drank the more sugary ones. So there may be an aspect of that. Kerry Peterson, who's a medical advisor to the Calorie Control Council, which represents low and non-calorie sweeteners, said the numerous studies have proven that sweeteners used in diet sodas are some of the safest and most thoroughly studied ingredients in the food supply. Wow. Low-calorie sweeteners has reaffirmed from time to time again by leading regulatory and government agencies all around the world. I certainly wouldn't trust that. Murphy said that they cannot rule out the possibility that artificial sweetened positive associations were influenced by unhealthy individual switching to artificial sweetened soft drinks. So there's a little pushback here. It seems like we recognize that there's a possible explanation for the positive associations found for artificial sweetened soft drinks. It's that participants were greater, already at greater risk, and that's why it looks bad. I don't think so. I think really the unsweetened is probably worse, but either way, the smart thing to do is get off these sodas. In the United States, four cities in California, Berkeley, San Francisco, Oakland, and Albania, Philadelphia, Boulder, Colorado, Portland, Oregon, and Cook County, Illinois have all imposed soda taxes, but more widespread efforts have been met with resistance from the soda lobby. Yeah, I guess so. Even so, a recent study showed that people are drinking less sugary drinks and opting for healthier choices. Well, that's a good thing for sure. It's all the more imperative to successfully commercialize... Let's see, it's all the more imperative to successfully commercialize lower sugar and less sweet beverages. There's a recognition that the consumer is involved too. I don't know. I really think that advertising food is the wrong thing, and if you're looking at food for advertising in that aspect, you're looking at pretty much processed food, highly processed food. You're not going to be advertising good steaks and things like that. There might be a local chain restaurant that does that, but on a national level, you're never going to see really good food advertised. First of all, good food costs a lot, so you don't have room in the budget for it. When you've got room in the budget for this with sugary drinks, because it costs pennies to make a bottle that they sell for whatever they sell them for. There's a big profit involved in this. And I remember years ago, when they were talking about this on TV, one of the guys, the head guys of McDonald's came out and said, well, you know, we think that the sodas are okay because we start with clean, healthy water, and that's in every one of the sodas. So this is the way these people think. Anyway, got a lot more for you folks. I'd like to remind you, please pick up our signals.

So in the news, there's been a lot of stuff about the impossible meats, the different kind of non-meats that are out there. It's a big push. I heard this morning on the news that KFC was thinking come out with some fake chicken for them. So this is really in the news. So non-meat diets have shortened popularity with many people ditching pork and beef and chicken in pursuit of health and environmental benefits and concerned about animal welfare. However, a new study shows that vegetarians and vegans may be at higher risk of stroke than meat-eating counterparts. Although those who don't eat meat have a lower chance of coronary heart disease, they say. According to the new paper studied by the National Journal of the B.M.J. on Monday. That's the journal. Eat more plants and less meat to live longer and improve your health, the study says. It does not seem to lower the risk of heart disease. It does exceed a higher risk of stroke if you look at the absolute numbers of Tammy Tong, who is a nutritionist at the Null Field Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford. This is the first study to look at the risk of stroke in vegetarians. The research found that vegetarians and vegans have a 20% higher risk of stroke than meat-eaters, particularly hemorrhagic stroke. That's caused when the blood from an artery begins to bleed in the brain. This translates to three more cases of stroke per thousand over a 10-year period. The exact reasons for this higher risk found in vegetarians is not clear. She said it's possible that it's due to very low cholesterol levels or very level of some other nutrients. Yeah, cholesterol definitely plays a huge role. Remember, cholesterol is there to kind of save your life and it coats the arteries. So if we have a blood artery that is scarred and it goes up into the brain this is where you can get a stroke. So we have discussed quite a bit with Paige about the sugary lifestyle of being a vegan or being a vegetarian and the loss of the K2 which only comes in animal food and something that we don't make ourselves so we have to get it from animal foods and we get it from also things like butter and milk and things like that but it has to be an animal product that gives it to you. So this is an essential nutrient that we have to have to be healthy and it's not in any vegetables. The other thing that the vegetables don't give us, they don't give us all these vitamins that are in there. They're locked in there and it's very hard for us to digest them. Now I was watching a couple of different programs of people who are vegetarians and I see them doing a lot of different things that we normally don't see in America and what they're doing is trying to make campy and trying to make your sour your vegetables and ferment them, put them in jars for long periods of time. So if you look back at the history of people who are doing this and that's mainly Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea, North and South Korea these people use a lot of fermentation and they discovered this thousands and thousands of years ago because that's how they've been doing it and most of the time if you're looking at the real good restaurants or food providers and you go to some of these food shows and get to go back into their place where they're making all this stuff you'll find these huge, huge vats of either rice or different kinds of vegetables or seaweed in these big vats and they store them in water a lot of times it's seawater purified seawater a lot of times it's salt involved in it but they keep them in there for a long time five, eight years sometimes even more. So if you're doing this yourself and you're doing it for the winter or just over the summer it's not enough. These things have to have that bacteria and that bacteria takes a long time. So this is the type of stuff that the indigenous people of Japan, of Korea of all the those eastern countries found out many years ago because they ran out of the meat and they had to really rely on vegetarianism for their population large populations in India large populations in China even Japan had large populations on islands and they discovered that they needed to change these vegetables because you can't eat them. Now it's an interesting thing. I was watching some anthropology shows and we're talking about real going back ancient times going past maybe when we were homo sapiens and going into homo erectus and going back even further to where Lucy was years ago and that was where we think the first transition took place from eating what normally the apes eat which is mostly vegetarian types of stuff to cracking open a bone and getting the marrow out of it. Now this is interesting because of two things. One, first of all the marrow is protected by the bone and doesn't get rancid meat however gets rancid very quickly out in the desert, heat and out in the savanna, out in the wild even if it's cold it has a chance of getting that but the fat doesn't, especially if it's a protective fat. If it's fat inside the meat it's going to be protected but if it's inside the bone it's protected even more. So these ancient ancestors of ours which are really distant relatives, I wouldn't even call them humans but they started doing that and it wasn't really until the advent of fire that we started really consuming a lot more meat. The reason why is meat by itself is kind of like plant food in a way because it's hard to digest unless it's full of fat. The fat is what digest very quickly. It's like, it turns to liquid in your body and that's why if you're eating sushi which is about 50-50 50 fat, 50 protein it seems very easy to digest but it's the protein that's the harder to digest and if you look back to our digits people, even people who are living now off the land, you'll notice they're not eating a lot of muscle meat. They're eating some because they're cooking it but they're eating the blood they're eating the pancreas, they're eating some of the intestines, they're eating the brain, they're eating the liver, they're eating all these organs that we don't use today and this is where all this beautiful healthy things are for us and the organs that they're eating mimic what they do inside our bodies too they give us those bonuses. So it's really important to understand the whole process of how we evolved and meat eating really started much more when we started having fires when we started doing those things. So the evidence is coming out that people who are switching to these plant based foods and you know we're pushing more and more people into this by coming out with these studies saying this is better for you and things like that this is not the way I would go you probably know that I'm 99% meat so when we consume other than meat it's just kind of an afterthought it might be a little wine, it might be a little herb that we use on the food itself. Sometimes we cook vegetables even too but rarely. So we're pretty much a meat family and we try to seek out and of course we try to throw in these organ meats in there too I don't think we do it enough so I'm kind of my 75th birthday coming up so maybe we'll have some organ meats who knows but I think it's really important to understand the process of how we grew and how why we're so healthy now and maybe why we're not so healthy now and certainly that's the discussion that we're doing. If you want to be healthy I think meat is the way to go but if you want to eat vegetables then really do your research and start finding out what our ancestors did with these vegetables in order to survive and as we get into the next segment I'll talk a little bit more about this so stick around folks during the break please pick up our primal edge our one shot wonder to get you healthy and if you want to follow the show that on the first and the fifteenth we have our health signal newsletter.

Welcome back folks. So I've talked about the sun quite a bit in past shows and talked about the grand solar minimum that we think is coming and there's announcement by NASA in the press release dated 2019. NASA described the uphilling decline in solar activity as a window of opportunity for space exploration instead of acknowledging the disastrous consequences of such as decline would have on our civilization. The sun's activity rises and falls in 11 year cycle. The forecast for the next solar cycle says it will be the weakest in the last 200 years. This is by NASA. The maximum of the next this nice cycle measured in terms of sunspot numbers, a standard of solar activity could be 30 to 50 percent lower than the recent one. The result shows that the next cycle will start in 2020 reaches maximum in 2025. Sunspots are regions in the sun with magnetic fields thousands of times stronger than the earths. Fewer of them at the point of maximum solar activity means fewer dangerous blasts of radiation. The research is led by a research group in the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center in California Silicon Valley. Admitting that the solar activity during sunspot cycle 25 will be weakest in 200 years, NASA was effectively forecasting a return to the Dalton minimum, which is the 1790 to 1830 conditions. But the release gives no mention of the cold, no mention of the crop losses, no mention of the ensuing starvation and famine, and no mention of the war over food, no mention of the powerful earthquakes, no mention of the volcanic eruptions during the Dalton minimum. There's a chart here shows you the activity and when it was warm. Now this goes back, let's see, to about 2,500 BC. If you're looking at this chart, you can see that it is at least equal. I think it's more than the warm. We're in these cold segments, most of the time a lot longer. This goes only to 2,500 BC. If we go back to 12,000 years, that's when the last large ice age took place. And we really don't know a lot about history past this 2,500 year point. We don't even know who was alive during then. It was before the Romans, before the Greeks, and the stories from the Bible that I think connect us to this time. But you can see this is the current cycle and we're going downhill and this is the Dark Ages here. This is the Grecian Empire cold these warm periods here. This was the medieval warm period during the Renaissance years. The Ice Age came, shut that whole thing down and then the Industrial Revolution right here during the Ice Age and then we had this big warm period which we're in now and we don't know how far down we're going to go in this. But I think it's important. They said the real issue is global warming and they're thinking that the shorter growing seasons and this food disruption could be from the cold. Who knows? We don't know this yet. But it's kind of an interesting one of the things I want to do is kind of go over what some of the people are saying when we're talking about the sun. And I've got something here. Let's see if I can find it. This is the modern minimum or the Little Ice Age that they're talking about on this one. They give you some nice facts. So our burning star may seem like it's a constant ball always looking the same. However, it's like planet Earth. The sun has weather. It has storms. It has storms that affect Earth's surface. Let me go up to that to capture that for you. So sunspots are these dark cool spots on the sun. Think of them as caps on a magnetic storm that is brewing just below the solar surface. So the sun's magnetic fields are moving around getting twisted and concentrated in these regions. So sunspots are really little tornadoes. Little hurricanes are large in this case because they're larger than we are as far as planet Earth is concerned. Solar flares appear as flashes of light generated with sunspots. Occasionally when powerful magnetic fields reconnect, they explode and break through the sun's surface. There's a sudden burst of light energy and x-rays. Flares are classified according to their strength. The smaller ones are B-class, followed by the C, the M, and the X, which is the largest. M-class flares can cause like radio blackouts at the poles, minor radio storms that might endanger astronauts. Now, coronal mass ejections, CMEs are massive clouds of particles that spread into space. Large pieces of magnetic energy are hurled from the sun into planetary space at speeds several million miles per hour. CMEs can occur with filaments and they become unstable and they fly away from the sun. We call this filament an eruption. Other solar events include the solar wind streams that come from the coronal holes and the solar energy particles which are caused by the CMEs. How does this affect Earth? Sunspots affect both weather and technology, which is why we're really dependent on this technology here. GPS satellites and other high-tech systems in space are affected by the act of sun. Some of these systems are not affected by the atmosphere, so large solar flares have the potential to cause billions of dollars in damage to the world's high-tech infrastructure from GPS navigation to the power grids to air travel and to the financial systems also. There's also radiation hazards for astronauts. They can be caused by the quiet sun. Remember when the sun is quiet, it's not throwing that solar wind towards us and that means that the solar wind is kind of buffering our atmosphere to give it breath. So the atmosphere is getting larger and larger and this is important because when our atmosphere is large, we get lots of protection not only from CMEs from the sun but also from cosmic rays from other suns, other stars. So whether on Earth can be affected. According to the old Thoromers Almanac, NOAA scientists have now concluded the four factors determine global temperatures, carbon levels, volcanic eruptions, the Pacific El Nino pattern and the sun's activity. Climate change including long periods of global cold, rainfall, drought and other weather effects are influenced by the solar cycle activity. So what is the solar cycle? So here we have a solar cycle and let's see which one this was. This was 1980 and this was the minimum in 1989, maximum again. So they started with the maximum here with lots of sunspots. They go down a minimum, you see no sunspots and you go back up. By solar minimum, we mean the lowest number of sunspots. After some years of high activity, the sun will ramp down with fewer spots or almost no spots. The temperature cools. Conversely, solar maximum is the high number of sunspots given in any cycle. A new cycle will start with a solar sunspots and solar storms and then the temperature warms. As the cycle can overlap, it can be challenged to predict when the next cycle starts and that's kind of what we're doing now. We're trying to figure it out. Now the modern minimum or the little ice age was between 1645 and 1750. The modders are the ones that counted the sunspots and so that's why we got the name. And there were only about 50 sunspots during those hard years and usually we have 40 to 50,000 so you can see how the activity is. I got up on a break, I'll be right back.

I'm talking about the sun and things like that. I've often mentioned the disaster cycle where the planet Earth goes through a lot of these different disasters just because of the weather and people have been living underground on planet Earth for quite a while and if you go to places like Turkey and Italy you'll find vast areas of underground and of course in the United States we have that too but now the Pentagon has put out a query we would like to borrow your underground layer if that's cool for research. So they're trying to get a list together and this was brought out by DARPA Research Defense Advanced Research Project Agency better known as DARPA. They want to know where underground stuff is so a lot of museums of course the underground in different cities like New York that have subways have vast undergrounds and they want to get a sense of where these are and how they can manage these and of course we think there's a lot of underground in Cheyenne Mountain area under the Denver Airport all the way going into Wyoming there's lots of reports of vast vast areas of underground so if you have an underground DARPA wants to know about it but I would say keep quiet and keep it for yourself because if you have an underground that's your hiding place that's the place to go if there are problems with whatever you need a safe place to be caves and things like that I think have come and saved our life for many many years and if you have a place like that keep it to yourself I say don't give it to the government same with the food if you're hoarding food and things like that don't tell people about it because as soon as there's a disaster it's the authorities that want that food so they can distribute it to who they want to distribute it to they want to be the single source of food and they've already done that and there is design in such a way that they bring us the food we used to follow the food now we have to follow our government and these big industries for the food it's much much safer if we do food on an individual basis in our area locally with local indigenous food this is the way I see it and if you have an underground bunker that our government would like to see I would say keep it to yourself that's what I think a lot of found here and all of course this will be going into the next newsletter here's another one with the underground experimentation request for information for the federal business opportunities anyway we'll dig into that a little bit farther page will be back next week thanks a lot for sticking around and you have a great week out there bye bye
