SUPPLEMENTAL ZINC HELPS RESTORE HEALTHY HEART PUMPING AFTER A HEART ATTACK

Bill Sardi has a March 19, 2019 article on the value of zinc supplementation posted at Martie Whittekin's site, Healthy By Nature.  

Sardi alerts us to a serious health condition: zinc depletion or zinc deficiency.  It's not that we're all born deficient, but certain environmental exposures puts some of us at greater risk of becoming zinc deficient.  And given the importance of zinc in regulating our immunity, in development, and in its role in certain intellectual abilities, like reading, and composing one's emotions, zinc deficiency becomes quite a serious social health issue.  So how do we know if we're deficient in zinc?  If you've had a serious illness or if you're chronically ill, chances are you're zinc deficient.  There are, however, signs of zinc deficiency.  See the list of symptoms below.  There are so many things in our lives that can make us deficient in zinc.  Sardi points out a major culprit: arsenic.  So somehow too many of us are getting exposed to arsenic, but how?  Through our food.  More specifically, from Glyphosate: i.e., RoundUp.  

The first culprit that comes to mind is arsenic as blood concentrations of zinc and selenium, two essential trace minerals, drastically decline with exposure to arsenic.  The widespread use of glyphosate weedkillers [e.g. Roundup] in crops may be the hidden source of arsenic [or for some other reason glyphosate lowers zinc].

Dr. Derrick Lonsdale made a similar point, citing the pathology that arises from consuming non-organic foods that are sprayed with RoundUp.  He said if your food is not organic, then it has glyphosate in and on it.  Which means that we're all susceptible to zinc deficiency.  Sardi presents it thus:

Something has happened in America.  In retrospect, it appears zinc in the American diet has vanished or is not getting absorbed.  Either way, too many Americans exhibit overt symptoms of zinc deficiency.  A blood test is notoriously inaccurate as zinc may be locked up with a binding protein and be biologically unavailable.  Here are some signs and symptoms of zinc deficiency that may help you determine if you are zinc deficient [you don’t have all or even many of these]. 

Here are the symptoms.   

·         [new study about zinc for diabetes prevention and management]

·         Are you losing your sense of smell?

·         Are you losing your sense of taste?

·         Do you crave salt and habitually to add salt to your foods?

·         Do you have adult-onset acne?

·         Is your hair prematurely turning grey?

·         Does your nail bed show white flecks?

·         Do you heal slowly from cuts?

·         Do you have a low sperm count?

·         Do you frequently experience cold sores on your lips?

·         Do you have an upset stomach, air, and gas, after meals?

·         Do you have skin problems like fungal infections (Athlete’s foot), yellow toenails?

·         Do you have chronic diarrhea?

·         Do you have thin or sparse hair, vanishing eyebrows?

·         Do you have moles on your skin?

·         Do you experience eczema (atopic dermatitis; red, itchy skin)?

·         Are you lethargic or irritable for no apparent reason?

·         Is your testosterone level low?

·         Do you experience a rash around your genitalia or mouth?

·         Do you regularly consume alcohol?

·         Do you take an ACE inhibitor blood pressure pill (lisinopril)?

·         Do you have stomach ulcers?

·         Do you or your children have difficulty reading due to dyslexia (letters are backwards)?

Who exactly is at greatest risk of zinc deficiency?  No one is immune.  

Food alone either takes too long to restore sufficiency or it lacks the ability altogether.  So supplements are required.  Sardi poses the questions, "How do we correct the shortage of zinc?"  Oysters is the food with the highest concentration of zinc.  You'll have to eat quite a bit.  Sardi explains, 

Aside from oysters, there is no single food that provides enough zinc to correct a deficiency.  Typical zinc intake levels are 10 milligrams/day but maybe only 1-2 milligrams are actually absorbed.  Older adults with low stomach acid levels typically have difficulty absorbing zinc.  And wouldn’t you know, zinc is an important co-factor in the internal synthesis of hydrochloric acid in the gastric tract. 

It was important for me to hear that "very high concentrations of zinc are found in the liver, muscle, brain, and testes."  Men, take heed.  "it is no wonder that zinc sufficiency has something to do with brain function, testosterone synthesis, and liver health."

Sardi explains that "There are ~2000 milligrams of zinc stored in body tissues."  Yes, but what happens if you get seriously ill, like say you contract measles or scarlet fever or chickenpox.  These drain your zinc stores.  For older folks, it's low stomach acid that keeps us from getting enough zinc.  So if it's not environmental issues, like Glyphosate, then it's low stomach acid due to age or some kind of illness, maybe diabetes, that depletes us of adequate zinc.  Sardi points out that "The trace mineral selenium helps to release zinc so it is biologically available."  What this means is that for zinc to be more absorbent, you'll need to take selenium with it.  

Zinc shortages cause loss of smell and taste, including mental decline.  

Zinc is responsible for a strong immune system.  It regulates the size of your master immune gland, called the Thymus gland.  Sardi says that "Zinc is required to activate T-cells, those memory white blood cells that confer life-long immunity via memory T-cells that produce antibodies against various pathogenic germs."

I wrote recently how OptiZinc reduces the incidence of acne by 50%.  There are different forms of zinc that seem to provide different kinds of protection.  Zinc Carnosine heals the lower intestine.  Sardi points out other parts of the body that are aided by supplementation of zinc carnosine.

Fortunately, there is a form of zinc that protects the nervous system, promotes the health of the digestive tract, aids in wound healing, normalizes gut bacteria, promotes liver health and helps restore the sense of smell and taste to individuals with these symptoms.  It is called zinc carnosine.

Zinc Carnosine is also important for the heart.

And no one would have guessed that supplemental zinc would help restore healthy heart pumping after a heart attack.  The amount of blood pumped (ejection fraction) after a heart attack improves with the provision of zinc carnosine.

Zinc is a great wound healer. And it helps diabetics.  I cannot get diabetics to listen to me.  

Zinc is known to promote wound healing.  And the preferred form of zinc to heal up gastric ulcers is zinc carnosine.   Zinc carnosine is the form of zinc commonly used to protect and heal tissues following cancer radiation treatment or to aid antibiotics in the kill off of H. pylori, the bacterium that causes gastric ulcers.  Zinc carnosine is the trace mineral of choice for nutritional support of hepatitis (liver inflammation). 

Helps fight aging. 

Zinc carnosine has also been demonstrated to stabilize genes that become fragile with advancing age. 

A typical two-week course of zinc carnosine, taken as directed on the label, may help you become zinc sufficient. 

DR. RICHARD HORTON: "HALF THE PUBLISHED SCIENCE IS PROBABLY UNTRUE."

Mike Adams has a new article out, titled "Profile of a CIA-Funded Vaccine Propagandist: Lena Sun at the Washington Post Attacks Natural Health Pioneers While Pimping Deadly Vaccines."  Find it at Natural News.  (If you've got the time, the videos in that article present some alarming and valuable information.  Thanks to Lew Rockwell.

(Natural News) The Washington Post is a CIA front, owned by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, who also built much of the CIA’s “private cloud” data processing infrastructure after winning a $600 million contract from the agency in 2013.  In the years since, the Washington Post has functioned as pure propaganda, pushing fake “Russia hoax” news, smearing Trump administration officials and promoting the lies of deep state criminals like John Brennan and James Comey who are still trying to pull off an illegal political coup.

“The corporate media serve the function of manufacturing consent for government policy by systematically lying to the public about what science tells us about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines,” writes health policy analyst Jeremy R. Hammond on his website.

CIA-funded Amazon.com is quietly turning into a pharmaceutical retailer

But the Washington Post’s malicious propaganda and lies don’t end with geopolitics: They’re also in bed with Big Pharma, pushing the vaccine industry’s talking points while smearing all the pioneers of natural health and health freedom. That’s because Jeff Bezos is quietly turning Amazon.com into a pharmaceutical company, having already purchased one online pharmacy company for $1 billion while rapidly expanding its state pharmacy licenses to be able to retail prescription drugs across America.

According to media reports, Amazon believes it could earn $50 billion a year selling prescription drugs, and it has hired a team of drug industry experts in preparation for launching nationwide prescription medication retail operations.

But to maximize its drug profits, Jeff Bezos needed a way to suppress the sales of nutritional supplements and natural health products that keep people healthy. After all, healthy people don’t need prescription drugs and Amazon’s Big Pharma profit model relies on keeping people popping medication pills every day for the rest of their (miserable) lives.

Jeff Bezos uses the Washington Post as a weapon to attack the natural health industry

The Bezos solution? Unleash propagandists like Lena Sun at the Washington Post to smear natural health pioneers like Dr. Mercola, claiming natural health supplements are “unapproved by the FDA.” (Because they’re not drugs, so of course they’re not approved as drugs.)

Lena Sun is, essentially, the “vaccine deep state” propagandist for the CIA front known as the Washington Post, a malicious, anti-America, anti-health, anti-human disinformation rag run by spooks and truly evil people who want the worst for America. These people not only want to see America overrun by illegal immigrants via open borders policies, they want all Americans to stay sick enough to need prescription medications from Amazon.com, which will be announcing a nationwide drug retail operation very soon.

To keep people sick, malicious anti-journalists like Lena Sun have to lie about the safety of vaccines as a way to convince people to keep taking the very shots that spread infectious disease and contaminate their bodies with aluminum, mercury, squalene and other toxic chemicals that are deliberately formulated into vaccines. So Lena Sun, obviously under orders from the vaccine deep state, falsely writes that all vaccines are safety tested against the entire childhood vaccination schedule before being released. It’s an outright lie, of course, and she refuses to retract it, but that’s how the CIA rolls: just gaslight everybody while demanding anyone who questioned your lies be silenced or discredited.

If you see this woman on the street near D.C., hide your children because she wants them to be maimed with medical violence in the form of vaccines:

As Jeremy Hammond explains:

In April 2017, Lena Sun wrote a Washington Post article arguing that it’s “a bad idea” for parents to space out their children’s vaccinations rather than strictly complying with the routine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The concern many parents have is that too many vaccines or too many at one time may be harmful.

[Lena Sun had written] “The effectiveness of the vaccine schedule is tested extensively to ensure that the vaccines in the combination don’t interfere with one another and can be easily handled by the infant and the child’s immune system. No new immunization is added to the schedule until it has been evaluated both alone and when given with the other current immunizations.”

But that is a brazen lie. The Institute of Medicine (IOM), which the CDC itself relies on as an authoritative source, acknowledged in a 2013 report that “existing research has not been designed to test the entire immunization schedule”. As the IOM reiterated, “studies designed to examine the long-term effects of the cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule have not been conducted.”

I contacted the Washington Post to point out their error and request a correction. I sent several emails providing them with those sources and then spoke to Lena Sun on the phone. She confirmed that she and the editors had received my request for a correction. She also acknowledged having looked at the IOM report I’d provided. She nevertheless refused to acknowledge her error, instead unthinkingly and absurdly accusing me of having taken the IOM quote “out of context”—as though there was some context that could fundamentally alter the plain meaning of the IOM’s statements so as to accord with Sun’s opposite claim.

Both Lena Sun and her editors know better, but to this day, the article on the Post website continues to lie deliberately to parents by telling them that no vaccine is added to the schedule until it’s been studied for safety when given along with all the other vaccines on the schedule.

Lena Sun is a filthy propagandist for the CIA and the vaccine deep state

Lena Sun is such a deceptive, filthy propagandist for the CIA and the vaccine deep state that Children’s Health Defense (CHD) recently took the time to point out Sun’s vast array of lies and deceptions. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s article entitled, “Lena Sun’s Function at Washington Post: Blindly Defend Vaccines.”

Article by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. 
Sun’s function at Washington Post is blindly defending vaccines and defaming all who challenge the Pharmaceutical Paradigm. Because her editors anoint Sun with absolution from fact-checking, her hatchet jobs are parades of reckless invention. She refuses to retract her 2017 assertion that all new vaccines are safety tested against the entire schedule even after investigative journalist Jeremy Hammond confronted her with CDC and IOM’s definitive disavowals.

Sun’s latest target, Dr. Joe Mercola earned Sun’s ire by financing Barbara Loe Fisher’s National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) which publishes scrupulously sourced vaccination science. Sun attacks @drmercola for recommending vitamins and other remedies which, Sun complains, are not approved by the FDA. FDA receives 50% of its budget from Pharma.

According to Cochrane Collaboration founder Peter Gotczche, FDA approved drugs are now the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Prescription drugs kill over 200,000 Americans each year. Half die from drug side effects and half from errors by doctors who prescribe those drugs without the encyclopedic understanding required to keep track of their myriad contraindications and interactions. Facts sourced here, here and here.

FDA routinely approves useless and absurdly lethal drugs because Pharma’s control of medical journals has made virtually all the science that FDA relies upon unreliable.

Lancet editor Dr. Richard Horton acknowledged in 2002 that the journals that publish the drug studies upon which FDA bases its approvals “have devolved into laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry” and that “half the published science is probably untrue.” BMJ editor Dr Peter Doshi calls Pharma’s clinical trials “misleading” and NEJM editor Marcia Angel said “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published.” The world’s leading authority on medical research, Dr. John Ioannides said that 90% of FDA’s published medical information is flawed and riddled with conflicts.

Lena Sun puts her trust in government authority instead of science.
I’ll take my chances with hard science, inquisitive, skeptical minds and thoughtful, compassionate healers like Dr. Mercola.

[CHD NOTE: The irony in Lena Sun’s headline followed by an ad for a pharmaceutical is inescapable.]

The bottom line: CIA-funded vaccine propagandists are everywhere in the corporate-controlled media, and they don’t care how many children DIE.

Stated flatly and honestly, vaccine propagandists are child murderers. And the thing is, they know that’s what they are, just like abortion and infanticide activists know they’re also child murderers.

These are dark-hearted, twisted, serial criminal-minded individuals who actively seek out ways to maximize the harming of children with toxic vaccines, laced with neurotoxic substances like aluminum, squalene and Thimerosal. Understand that harming children is not a “side effect” of the vaccine agenda, it’s the primary goal.

After all, how can the public be counted on to believe the propaganda lies and deep state drivel published by the Washington Post if they aren’t first partially lobotomized with mercury in flu shots? One of the key functions of vaccines is to literally damage the brains of children and keep the IQ of the population suppressed. That’s why vaccines are intentionally laced with neurotoxins like MSG, formaldehyde, mercury and aluminum. These are all admitted ingredients in vaccines, according to the CDC.

Only a lunatic, a child murderer or a vaccine deep state propagandist would ever demand a healthy child be injected with such substances. Yet this is the official position of the Washington Post, to no one’s surprise.

Another function of vaccines, of course, is to cause widespread infertility and spontaneous abortions as part of the global depopulation agenda that’s also pushed by these same journo-demons who claim to be writing about “public health.” (In truth, they actually want to see much of the public exterminated.)

The Washington Post is anti-human, pro-communism propaganda written by journo-demons who despise humanity and seek to destroy children

Have no illusions: When you read the pages of the Washington Post, you are reading anti-human propaganda, which is exactly why The Washington Post also accepted bribes from communist China to publish hundreds of pro-communism propaganda articles, helping communist China achieve a positive reputation while it engages in the most vile human rights abuses of the modern world: Organ harvesting, human trafficking, targeting Falun Gong members for torture, rape and executions… these are all “values” that the Washington Post embraces.

No doubt Lena Sun also embraces these same values, for you don’t see her writing anything critical of the Washington Post’s advocacy for the murderous communist regime known as mainland China. Harvesting organs, raping women, torturing people who meditate and trafficking in human organs all seems to be perfectly fine with Lena Sun. And vaccinate your children too, see? Now you’re in alignment with the health-destroying agenda of the Washington Post, the CIA, communist China and all those who seek to destroy life, liberty, and America itself.

The creatures at the Washington Post are demons pretending to be journalists. They’re not even human anymore. They’ve surrendered their dark hearts to the Prince of Darkness, and that’s who’s talking to you through the Washington Post now: Demons that seek the total destruction of human health, human freedom, and human rights. And who do they attack? Dr. Mercola, myself (the Health Ranger) and other good people who have dedicated their lives to protecting human health from the medical violence of the vaccine industry.

We are bad, you see, for teaching people how to eat healthy, consume nutritious foods and avoid toxic prescription medications. The “good” people, according to Lena Sun and the Washington Post, are those who promote child mutilations, medical violence, chemical violence against children and the mass chemical contamination of the population with neurotoxic chemicals.

Heck, there’s probably even a Pulitzer Prize in there somewhere for the WaPo journalist who can manage to maim the greatest number of children with mandatory medical violence that causes febrile seizures, comas, and death — all admitted side effects of vaccines.

DIET OF POLISHED RICE, ASSOCIATED WITH AFFLUENCE, CAN CAUSE BERIBERI

from ResearchGate's "Thiamine: The Spark of Life."

It is now well known that thiamin deficiency is the major cause of beriberi, a disease that had affected humans for centuries.  The name “Kakke” was the term used for the disease in Japan and this word can be found in documents as early as 808 (Inouye K, Katsura E. 1965).  Until the 17^th century, the majority of the population in Japan took unpolished rice as the staple food.  Polished rice was associated with relative affluence since it looked better on the table when served.  Epidemics of beriberi have been known to occur in association with increased affluence simply because it was expensive to take the rice to the mill.  When white rice was served to friends, it became a signature of the newly acquired affluence.  As the ingestion of well-milled white rice became nationwide, so the incidence of the disease increased.  This is because the B group vitamins are in the discarded husks.  The first national statistics on mortality appeared in 1899 and showed a death rate of 20 per 100,000.  This dropped to 0.5 in 1959 after its nutritional association was discovered.  Of considerable interest to us today, for reasons that will appear later in the chapter, the peak incidence of the disease occurred in August and September every year.  Factory workers would take their lunch between factory buildings.  If the sun came round so that it shone into the corridor, some workers would get the first symptoms of the disease.  It was evident that the sun’s rays would stress them sufficiently to initiate these symptoms.  It was therefore hardly surprising that the etiology in the early 1900s before its nutritional association became common knowledge, was considered to be from infection.  

The discovery of the relationship of thiamine with malnutrition came in the late decades of the 19^th century, but it was many years before scientific knowledge caught up.  A Japanese naval surgeon by the name of Takaki studied in England from 1875 to 1880.  He noted that beriberi was less common in the British Royal Navy than in navy personnel in Japan where the diet on ships was very different.  In 1882, a Japanese naval vessel sailed on a 272-day voyage.  On its return, 61% of the crew had succumbed to beriberi.  Two years later, another ship completed the same voyage but was provided with an ample supply of dried milk and meat, giving a carbon to nitrogen ration of 16:1.  Only 14 crew members had developed beriberi.  Takaki concluded that a lack of nitrogenous food was the cause of the disease, a notable contribution before vitamins were known.  

In 1890, Eijkman found that polished rice, given to pigeons, caused polyneuritis and the histopathology was similar to that seen in humans in beriberi.  Funk and Cooper isolated an “anti-beriberi factor” from rice polishing in 1910 and this was crystallized in 1926 and called Vitamine (Jansen BCT, Donath W F. 1926).  It was not until 1936 that thiamin was synthesized (Williams R R, 1938) leading to an explosion of basic science and clinical experimentation.  The work of Sir Rudolph Peters (Peter R A, 1936) exposed the vitally important association of thiamin with what was later to become the science of oxidative metabolism. 

Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, founder of Hormones Matter and author of Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High-Calorie Malnutrition (2017), says that Thiamine is the therapeutic remedy to beriberi like symptoms that emanate from a thiamine deficiency.  The preferred form of Thiamine is not necessarily the water-soluble, B1, but instead the fat-soluble B1, Allithiamine is preferred because it gets into the tissue and not just circulate in your blood.    

This explains our condition:

Because mild to moderate TD [Thiamine Deficiency] results in pseudo hypoxia in the limbic system and brainstem, emotional and stress reflexes of the autonomic nervous system are stimulated and exaggerated, producing symptoms often diagnosed as psychosomatic disease.

If the biochemical lesion is recognized at this stage, the symptoms are easily reversible. If not, and the malnutrition continues, neurodegeneration follows and results in a variety of chronic brain diseases. 

What then is the remedy to Thiamine Deficiency?  Thiamine, of course.  But you want the fat-soluble Thiamine, B1, called Allithiamine, for this gets into the relevant brain, muscle, and nerve tissue.
