Commentary
What I am now doing is putting my tremendous backlog of great health related information on the blog. Many of this research material is cutting edge. The posts will be made more often.
You need to know how to research this site, as I have a tremendous amount of information that you can study and pass on to others.
On the left hand column, look for the heading “Categories”. If you click on this, you will find Categories such as Vitamin D. If you then click on Vitamin D, all the posts with this heading will appear.
If what you want to research is not under the “Category” heading, then look for “Search Website”. You then place the issue you want to research into the box and all the posts will appear that have this word.
I have posted for years, so there is a tremendous amount of material for you to research.
Moderate Exercise Not Only Treats, but Prevents Depression There are natural and spiritual ways to treat depression. Please do all you can to stay away from the Babylonian Health system’s drugs, which are very dangerous to your health. On this blog, I list many things to help you deal with depression in a natural way.
“Mammen acknowledges that other factors influence a person’s likelihood of experiencing depression, including their genetic makeup. But he says that the scope of research he assessed demonstrates that regardless of individual predispositions, there’s a clear take-away for everyone. “It’s definitely worth taking note that if you’re currently active, you should sustain it. If you’re not physically active, you should initiate the habit. This review shows promising evidence that the impact of being active goes far beyond the physical.”
Vitamin D
Vitamin D May Help Treat Depression Vitamin D modulates inflammation in your body, which is also linked to depression. The suggested intake of Vitamin D3 is now up to 6-8,000 IUs daily and especially in the winter.
“A study of more than 81,000 women found those with the highest intake of vitamin D from food sources had a significantly lower prevalence of depressive symptoms. In the current study, researchers found that intake of more than 400 IU of vitamin D from food sources was associated with a 20 percent lower risk of depressive symptoms compared with intake of less than 100 IU.
It now appears as though most adults need about 8,000 IU’s of vitamin D a day in order to get their serum levels above 40 ng/ml, which is the lowest they should be. Ideally your serum levels should be between 50-70 ng/ml, and up to 100 ng/ml to treat cancer and heart disease.”
Vitamin D Does Not Contribute to Kidney Stones There are know side effects to this vitamin that I am aware of.
Vitamin D and K2 Work in Tandem to Slow Arterial Calcification I am starting to side a connection between Vitamin D3 and K2.

An Olive Oil Compound That Makes Your Throat Itch May Prevent Alzheimer’s Both olive oil and coconut oil are a great source of nutrition to help protect against Alzheimer’s and dementia.
“scientists discovered that oleocanthal—the naturally occurring compound that elicits a peppery, burning sensation in the back of the throat—seemed to produce effects strikingly similar to those of ibuprofen, which tamps down inflammation.The findings, she notes, most likely have more application for Alzheimer’s prevention than treatment.”
Drinking Water

Many urban tap water systems loaded with SSRI antidepressant drugs Those living in urban areas are most at risk.
I think that the city water is a witches brew of drugs, toxins and other chemicals.
“In this report, it was revealed that at least 41 million Americans are exposed daily to tap water containing trace amounts of antibiotics, sleeping pills, and even sex hormones. Now, a new report by TheFix.com brings to light the presence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, in the water supply, and the genetic havoc they may potentially be wreaking on human health.

Probiotics Linked to Reduced Risk of Allergies Probiotics are linked to reduced risk of Allergies, Psoriasis, Colitis, Periodontal disease and more. The article suggests how to reduce children’s risk of allergies
“Friendly bacteria even train your immune system to distinguish between pathogens and non-harmful antigens, and to respond appropriately. This important function prevents your immune system from overreacting to non-harmful antigens, which is the genesis of allergies.
But probiotics perform such a wide variety of functions, they’re really critical regardless of what ails you. And because adding probiotics to your diet is so easy, by way of cultured foods and/or supplements, it’s a step I highly encourage you to take.”
Scientists show how antibiotics enable pathogenic gut infections Use antibiotics with caution and only when absolutely needed. When finished with the antibiotics, immediately start taking probiotics to rebuild the gut flora.
“Antibiotics decimate this gut-microbe ecosystem, which begins bouncing back within a few days but may take a month or more to regain its former numbers. And the ecosystem appears to suffer the permanent loss of some of its constituent bacterial strains. A new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine could help pinpoint ways to counter the effects of the antibiotics-driven depletion of friendly, gut-dwelling bacteria.”
Are Probiotics the New Prozac? | Brain-Gut Connection Probiotics alter brain function in a good way, and can help alleviate depression.
“While many think of their brain as the organ in charge of their mental health, your gut may actually play a far more significant role.
It’s important to realize that you have neurons both in your brain and your gut — including neurons that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin. In fact, the greatest concentration of serotonin, which is involved in mood control, depression and aggression, is found in your intestines, not your brain!
Perhaps this is one reason why antidepressants, which raise serotonin levels in your brain, are often ineffective in treating depression, whereas proper dietary changes often help…
With this in mind, it should also be crystal clear that nourishing your gut flora is extremely important, from cradle to grave, because in a very real sense you have two brains, one inside your skull and one in your gut, and each needs its own vital nourishment.”
NUTRITION
Eating Garlic Cuts Cancer Risk in Half Garlic is great antioxidant and also thins the blood. Anyone with blood issues should be taking garlic.
“Recent research has found garlic contains more than 30 organosulphur compounds, many with exciting anti-cancer properties. One is an organosulphur compound called diallyl trisulfide (DATS), which fights cancer by preventing, killing, or blocking the growth and spread of cancerous cells. Some studies have suggested that garlic inhibits the development and progression of prostate, breast, colon, stomach, bladder, esophageal, and skin cancers in test tubes and in animals. One study conducted at the University of North Carolina found that people who eat garlic cut their risk of colorectal cancer by two-thirds. According to The National Cancer Institute, garlic can lower the risk of pancreatic cancer by 54 percent, prostate cancer by 50 percent, colon cancer by 50 percent, and stomach cancer by 52 percent. Some studies show even greater benefits: One study conducted at the University of North Carolina found that people who eat garlic cut their risk of colorectal cancer by two-thirds.”

Brain atrophy linked with cognitive decline in diabetes This is a real nasty disease, so please protect your health that you do not develop it.
“Type 2 Diabetes and dementia are both highly common disorders affecting the aging population and this research shows that there may be a mechanistic link between them. Indeed, generalised brain atrophy may be the key driver of cognitive decline in Type 2 diabetes and such atrophy is also commonly seen in people with dementia,” Associate Professor Srikanth said.”
Conclusion
Your physical health is very important, but of even greater importance is your spiritual health. Man suffers from a fatal spiritual disease called sin, which always leads to death.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Right now, through repentance of the spiritual disease called sin, you can come to Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, for healing and assurance of eternal life.
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
For those who love the Lord Jesus and are looking for His coming, the following is their future:
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
