π¨ Urgent Alert: FDA's Misguided Actions π¨The FDA's removal of social media posts and warnings against using ivermectin for COVID raises serious concerns. Their previous stance appeared politically motivated, favoring vaccines over science-based alternatives.Countless lives may have been lost due to doctors' hesitancy to prescribe ivermectin for early treatment, fearing reprisals from medical boards. We must resist efforts to let authorities dictate medical treatments and information during pandemics.#FDA #Ivermectin #PublicHealth #MedicalFreedom #COVID19 π’π
February 1, 2024, General Mills, Inc. launched a new breakfast cereal line called "LOADED." The new line features enlarged squares of popular cereals β Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, and Cocoa Puffs β filled with artificially flavored vanilla creme.Testing1 by Moms Across America (MAA) now reveal Trix LOADED contains aluminum, cadmium, arsenic and lead, in some cases far exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyβs allowable levels in drinking water. For example, the two Trix LOADED samples contained: More than double the EPAβs allowable level for lead 400% higher levels of cadmium than what the EPA allows 1,365% and 1,650% higher levels of aluminum than the EPA allows.While heavy metal and pesticide contaminants are certainly reason enough to avoid processed cereals, theyβre not the only ones. Cereals of all kinds are also loaded with heated, chemically processed seed oils, and are therefore a major source of linoleic acid (LA), which I believe may be the biggest contributor to chronic disease in the Western world β far greater than refined sugar.The main reason why excess LA causes disease is because it prevents your mitochondria from working well. I describe this process in my 2023 scientific review published in the journal Nutrients,6 coauthored by Christopher DβAdamo. Click below for more information

Ever wondered why we sleep? Contrary to popular belief, sleep isn't a passive state. It's a dynamic process vital for our survival. During sleep, the brain consolidates memories, processes emotions, and flushes out toxins accumulated throughout the day. Without sufficient sleep, these functions are compromised, impacting our cognitive abilities and emotional stability.π‘ The sleep cycle Sleep consists of several stages, each with its unique characteristics and functions. * Non-REM sleep: This initial stage of the sleep cycle encompasses both light and deep sleep. During light sleep, our bodies start to relax, and our brain activity begins to slow down. It's the phase where we're easily awakened and may experience brief moments of consciousness. Deep sleep, on the other hand, is where the magic truly happens! π« This phase is crucial for physical restoration, memory consolidation, and overall rejuvenation. It's during deep sleep that our body repairs tissues, strengthens the immune system, and releases growth hormones. Read how to increase deep sleep here: vitalfield.com/ways-to-increase-deep-sleep/ * REM sleep: Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is perhaps the most intriguing phase of the sleep cycle. It's characterized by increased brain activity, vivid dreams, and, as the name suggests, rapid eye movements. Despite its active brain patterns, our muscles are temporarily paralyzed during REM sleep, preventing us from acting out our dreams. This phase is essential for cognitive functions like learning and emotional regulation.π‘ Impact of sleep deprivation Sleep often takes a backseat to productivity and late-night Hulu binges, but skimping on shut-eye could be seriously harming your health: * Weakened immune system: Ever notice how you catch every cold that's going around when you're sleep-deprived? That's no coincidence! Lack of sleep compromises our immune system's ability to fight off infections, leaving us vulnerable to illnesses and infections.* Impaired cognitive function: Foggy brain, anyone? Sleep deprivation doesn't just leave us feeling groggy; it also impairs our cognitive function. That means trouble concentrating, decreased productivity, and a higher likelihood of making mistakes. * Increased health risks: Brace yourself for this one. Chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to a laundry list of serious health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It's not just about feeling tired; it's about putting your overall health at risk.π‘ Tips for optimal sleepFortunately, there are simple yet effective strategies for improving sleep quality:* Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps regulate your body's internal clock.* Create a conducive sleep environment: Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool to promote relaxation.* Limit screen time before bed: The blue light emitted by electronic devices disrupts melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.* Practice relaxation techniques: Activities such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle stretching before bedtime can signal to your body that it's time to wind down.* By incorporating these habits into your nightly routine, you can enhance the quality and duration of your sleep, leading to improved overall health and vitality.β¨ Sleep is far more than just a period of downtime. It's a fundamental biological process essential for our physical, mental, and emotional health. So, letβs recognize the importance of quality rest, and prioritize sleep as a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle! #ScienceOfSleep #SleepWellLiveWell #FrequenCell #vitalfields
