**“Some days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.” Emory Austin**
Good Day!!! Oh the truth in Emory’s statement…. how I wish it wasn’t so! But it is true – we have natural “highs” and “lows” and some days there isn’t a song in our heart. So what do we do on those days? How do we embrace life and be positive on the days when the “spark” just isn’t there? We do just as Emory suggests – we “sing anyway.” And we sing loud enough to wake up that spark.
One of the things cognitive therapy reveals is that when we consistently “act as if” we “become.” Sometimes we have to force a behavior in order to do it consistently enough to internalize it. On our “down days” it is more important than ever to en-gage in behaviors that fight the negativity in our minds and the sadness in our souls.
You don’t have to accept a mediocre day. You don’t have to accept a mediocre life.
In fact, I en-courage you to accept nothing but the best. Sure, you will have days that start out “low.” Fight back. Sing. In any given moment you have the power to change your day. You have undoubtedly heard the quote “Fake it until you make it.” On those “low” days, shout out your affirmations. Write them over and over. Even if they don’t feel sincere, keep say-ing them. Our words have power, and they have the power to transform the mediocre into the mag-nificent.

**Your Turn:**
Draw the rooms of your life like an architect would draw a floor plan.
In each “room” write down what potential you have and how you might grow.

Your Affirmation:
I have the power to transform the mediocre into the magnificent.
I learn their names right off the bat. Valerie and Ben are parents to twins Garrett and Alissa, both 31, as well as a younger daughter Jenna, who is 28.

We sit around the dining table together, sun streaming in from the deck, laughter ringing gaily throughout the room. You’d never know what they’ve grappled with, struggled through as a family – unless you asked.

It seems like everyone you meet today either knows someone battling cancer, is a survivor themselves, or has lost a loved one from what the American Cancer Society estimated (back in 2015) would claim the lives of about 1,600 people daily.

If you’re wondering about the numbers, it equates to approximately 590,000 deaths due to
cancer. In one year. Garrett was 16 when he was diagnosed with ALL – Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. The doctors at Albany Med offered him two options. He chose the second one – which would be harder and take longer – but would also allow the medical community to study the disease, its treatment, and his recovery.

“I knew it would be better if we could bring more education and awareness to this type of cancer,” Garrett tells me. “I felt it was the least I could do – help the next person suffering from it.” Alissa, his twin sister, says she felt phantom pains all the time. “Whenever mom and dad brought Garrett to the hospital for a procedure, the wait was unbearable.

I panicked. It felt as if I was going through it with him. I’d call dad to ask if my brother
had this or that done to him that day. It was like I always knew.” There was guilt, too.
“I couldn’t understand why Garrett was enduring this hell while I was healthy.

It was horrible. I cried a lot, felt defenseless and alone.

What if the other half – the better half of me died? I couldn’t imagine life without him.”
Garrett knew his sister felt helpless. “I needed Alissa to understand this wasn’t her fault. We sat down one day, talking for a long time. I hugged her and said she was going to have to be strong and healthy for both of us.”

Chemo, shots, IV drips, 25 different pills every Friday – it sure seemed like it would never end. It was tough for the family to carry on with normal activities, but they coped, doing the best they could under the circumstances. Thankfully, Garrett saw another birthday, then another, and yet another – growing stronger with each one. Doctors still keep a close eye on him, but cancer moves further away from his life every day.

Jenna talks softly, remembering a momentous day during December 2016. It was time to come off of her parent’s health insurance. “I was crying like a baby, complaining about how much it was going to cost. Man, I was young – I didn’t want to think about spending my hard-earned money on things like that.”

She had a long conversation with her dad, deciding it was the smart, grown-up thing to do. Securing medical coverage would help her worry less over the ‘what ifs’ in life.

Thank goodness she made that decision.

In January 2017 she was attending a press conference for her job as a sports anchor for ABC/Fox. By then, she was living and working in the Rochester area. She wasn’t feeling well and recalls being drenched in sweat. Coworkers asked if she was okay and Jenna wasn’t able to shrug it off. Her temperature was 104.

At the hospital, she was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Her team of doctors would be from The Wilmot Cancer Institute at the University of Rochester Medical Center. My 26th birthday didn’t start the way I expected. Instead of celebrations and cake I was met with my next challenge.

On January 25th 2017, I was diagnosed with Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma- Stage III B.
I know there will be a long road ahead, with chemo treatments and intense side effects and even the possibility that I lose my hair. But I want you to know that I will not lose hope.

I have an incredible team of doctors and even more than that, I have you all, an amazing support system of friends and family. So yes, 26 didn’t start out the way I thought, but I want everyone to know I plan on making this my best year yet. I am confident but more importantly, I feel loved…truly the best blessing of all.

Thank you for all the kindness and positivity. I know in my heart we’ll get through this together. The family was in disbelief. How could this have happened again? How would they ever get through the journey of another child suffering from this terrible disease?

“Friends and family rallied around us both times,” Jenna tells me. “They brought food, lent an ear, and offered a helping hand. We were never alone.” At first, Jenna says she
was angry with the news, grappling with the questions of “Why me? Why our family?
Why a second time? Why Anyone?”

She’d shared a bedroom with Alissa over the years, the sisters were very close, even after she’d moved away. “It was so hard for me to watch,” Alissa says, tears brimming from her eyes and rolling down her cheeks. “Once again – I was healthy and a sibling wasn’t. Why?”

It was terrifying for Garrett as well. “I felt terrible, all-consuming guilt. Memories of my own personal journey with cancer came flooding back – I didn’t want my younger sister to suffer any of what I’d gone through. I was her big brother, yet there was nothing I could do to spare her from what I knew was ahead.”

Jenna’s journey was a tough one as well. Some days were good, others were bad. 12 rounds of treatment came wrapped up in a lot of different emotions, sickness, depression, hope. It’s an experience she wouldn’t wish on anyone. “I learned how tough I am though,” she tells me, “how strong my family is, how supportive my friends are. Cancer taught me more about the human spirit than any other experience could have.”

Over the last two hours, I feel as if I’ve opened a wound that’s only just scabbed over.
I search five sets of eyes and see raw emotion. When they speak their mouths quiver.
The love they have for one another is evident and very powerful.

“It’s important to talk about cancer,” one of them tells me. In the beginning, during and
in the aftermath. “Cancer changes your perspective on life,” another one says, wiping tears from her face with the back of her hand. “Look,” Garrett pipes in. “You can have a bad day – you just can’t live there.”

Valerie and Ben hold hands and look at each other. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster. We’re just so grateful the kids are okay. They’re all doing well, have great jobs, keep up with doctor appointments, and are closer than ever. Most importantly, they’re living the best lives they can. We’re extremely proud of all three.”

Each one hugs me tightly as I prepare to leave – with bear hugs that don’t need a single word. Jenna points to her parents. Garrett and Alissa follow suit. “These two,” she tells me. “They’re why we’re still here. They wouldn’t let us give up or wallow in pity. Rock-solid people, our parents. We’re so lucky to have them in our corner. After lymphoma diagnosis, survivor says: ‘I learned up-close and personal how precious life is’

Sideline hit sums up positive attitude of 13WHAM’s Jenna Cottrell | WHAM

Since childhood, Jenna Cottrell has been a sports fan. In her early teens, she played soccer and started watching sports, activities that provided an escape for her. Back then, she had no idea this passion would turn into a career and an escape after a cancer diagnosis in her 20s.

In fall 2016, at age 25, Jenna started having headaches, fevers and fatigue, but they didn’t slow her down much. She continued life as normal — working as a sports reporter and anchor for WHAM-TV in Rochester and even meeting her boyfriend at a Halloween party.

By January, the symptoms had worsened. She had a lack of appetite, terrible night sweating and extremely uncomfortable fevers. She lost almost 15 pounds and often felt an intense fatigue she described as “tired in my bones.”

She also had some back pain, but she attributed that to carrying around a heavy camera for her job. On Jan. 13, while covering a Buffalo Bills press conference, she was sweating so profusely and looking so ill that another reporter felt the need to ask if she was OK.

She wasn’t.

She had been to the doctor already about the problem, but after that experience, she returned. A few weeks later, she learned she had stage 4 nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma.

“You know from that moment on, your life will never be the same,” she says. “It seemed almost insurmountable. I think a huge part of being diagnosed with cancer is just the mental portion of it. Physically, it’s like all right we’ve got to get through this, but mentally, sometimes it’s even more challenging.”

The week before she started treatment at Wilmot Cancer Institute, her fevers soared, reaching 105 degrees at one point. Luckily, chemotherapy brought the fever down quickly. She received chemotherapy every other week from mid-February to July.

During this time, she lost her hair, which was devastating, but her boyfriend and family were there to comfort her. Her mom even moved in with her for a little while to help.
“The role of a caregiver really can’t be understated, how important they are, in every sense.”

She says.

She took about a month off from work and then started up slowly when she went back. Just the routine of waking up every morning, getting dressed, and driving in helped her feel better. She took it a little easy at work, staying near her desk instead of covering stories all around the region.

She’s grateful to her team at WHAM-TV for their support throughout her treatment,
from verbal encouragement to bringing her food to helping her purchase a wig.
In addition to her co-workers’ generosity, she believes the nature of her work really
helped her through treatment.

“I really think sports being a part of my job is what got me through this and being able
to focus on something else other than myself and what I was going through,” she says.
“I love sports because it’s usually someone’s best day.”

She added the people she gets to meet really inspire her.

“Seeing somebody who has struggled or has gone through loss and then goes and plays a game and excels because they’re channeling their feelings, little things like that just make it really cool to cover,” she says. Jenna also credits her team, including Paul Barr, M.D., and Maureen Tremaine, R.N., M.S.N., who were compassionate and eased her fears with
a treatment plan from the beginning, making a difficult situation a little bit better.

“You don’t want to be here, but the fact that the people here are so kind makes it that much easier,” she says.
It’s been more than a year since her diagnosis, and she continues to be in remission. Having cancer has shifted her outlook. She practices yoga now and tries to live a healthier lifestyle. She also is more conscious of taking time for what matters most in life to her.

“Even though my life now is different, I’m going to make it a better difference and focus
on being healthy and treating people that I love with love back and just try to make the best of it. We shouldn’t have to learn it the way I did, but I think it makes it more realistic,” she says. Spring 2019 | Cottrell to Serve as the Teddi Honorary Chair –

Unhealthy Gut Flora

Posted on March 6, 2023 by Ken

4 Surprising Symptoms Of An Unhealthy Gut You’ve Never Heard About
Story by Georgia Dodd • Saturday

Some people say that the gut is the body’s second brain.
So, when you have an unhealthy gut, it can affect your entire body. Your digestive system contains a healthy amount of bacteria, which helps regulate your digestion, and benefits your immune system. When the bacterium in your gut becomes imbalanced, you’ll likely experience surprising symptoms like **digestive issues** (such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or excessive gas), **frequent infections or illnesses**, also **skin problems** (such as acne, eczema, or rashes), and even **mental health issues** (such as anxiety, depression, or brain fog).

To learn more about these unexpected symptoms of an unhealthy gut, we spoke with Cindy Wilson, a certified nutritionist and owner of Nutri Inspector, and Lori Walker, a registered dietitian, freelance food and nutrition writer, and recipe developer at Easy Kitchen Guide. Find out more below!

**READ MORE:** These 3 Diet Habits Are Destroying Your Gut Health, Experts Warn

**1. Digestive Issues**
One major symptom of an unhealthy gut, as you’d expect, is digestive issues.
This can include anything from bloating and constipation to diarrhea and excessive
gas. Digestive issues, Walker says, can be the result of a gut bacteria imbalance or inflammation in the gut lining.
“Bloating,” she says.” can be caused by a buildup of gas in the digestive tract due to poor absorption of nutrients from food, also known as malabsorption syndrome.” And, if you are suffering from abdominal pain, this could be an indicator that there is inflammation
in the gut lining.
“Excessive gas,” Walker states, “is often caused by improper digestion leading to
food fermentation in the intestines which produces extra carbon dioxide and methane. Constipation and diarrhea may result from inadequate fiber intake or eating foods that your body cannot easily digest such as those high in sugar and fat.”

**2. Frequent Infections Or Illnesses**
Another sign that you might have an unhealthy gut is if you find yourself under
the weather frequently. Chronic infections or illnesses are the results of a weakened
immune system. Wilson notes, “Frequent infections can also occur when the gut
microbiome is compromised and unable to fight off harmful pathogens.”

**3. Skin Problems**
And, if you’re noticing your skin suffering from irritations like acne, eczema,
or rashes, you might be suffering from an unhealthy gut with a gut bacteria imbalance. Skin problems can also be related to gut health because, Wilson says, “the gut and skin share a connection through the immune system.”

**4. Mental Health Issues**
Another surprising symptom of an unhealthy gut can be an increase in mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or even brain fog syndrome. But, what is brain fog?
Brain fog is defined as confusion, absentmindedness, and a lack of focus.
While this syndrome is usually caused by overworking, a lack of sleep, or stress,
brain fog is sometimes the result of poor gut health.
“Mental health issues can be influenced by gut bacteria,” Wilson explains, “as the gut produces neurotransmitters that affect the brain.” Similarly, Walker says that, “Fatigue can be the result of an imbalance of gut bacteria leading to poor nutrient absorption and impaired energy production.”

**Ways To Improve Gut Health**
So, if you feel that you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have an unhealthy gut and you should reach out to your medical provider or doctor. They may suggest some tips and tricks for improving your gut microbiome. First, eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet of fiber, fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods. Avoiding dairy and instead opting for a healthier dairy replacement like coconut milk can also help your gut.
Drink plenty of water and limit alcohol and caffeine consumption to stay hydrated. Managing stress and getting enough rest is also an expert-recommended way to boost
your gut health. And, finally, you can also take probiotics or prebiotics to improve your healthy gut microbiome.

“Eating more fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, miso soup, and yogurt can help increase beneficial bacterial populations in the intestines while avoiding processed foods [that] contain artificial ingredients and preservatives will reduce inflammation in the gut,” Walker suggests. “Additionally, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and reducing stress can all help improve gut health by promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption. Lastly, taking probiotic or prebiotic supplements may be beneficial in restoring the balance of gut bacteria and improving nutrient absorption from food.”Healthy Bacteria – Probiotics – Bing video

Are you suffering from stomach pain after eating, bloating, stomach cramps,
constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, or excessive flatulence?
Your gut could be in a major state of dysbiosis and in need of a reboot.
This blog will show you how to repair your gut and bring an end to your suffering.

About Me – The Dysbiosis Diet

My name is Pete Rowe and this website is my story of how I beat chronic dysbiosis 8 years ago, and in the process cured myself of a number of other dysbiosis related conditions I’d suffered from since childhood, including IBS, acid reflux/GERD, and hemorrhoids.

I’m also predisposed to Type 2 Diabetes and my blood sugar levels were steadily rising as each year passed. I’m happy to say that my blood sugar is now back to normal and it’s all down to developing and following The Dysbiosis Diet.
The definition of dysbiosis is a microbial imbalance inside the body. We have evolved with bacteria over millions of years and formed a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria that inhabit our digestive tract.
The bacteria that live on and in our body are collectively known as our microbiome.
We give our microbiome food and shelter and in return it provides a number of benefits,
including the regulating of our digestive system.
When the balance of good and bad bacteria becomes imbalanced, we lose these benefits and enter a state of dysbiosis. This leads to chronic illnesses such as IBS, acid reflux/GERD, constipation, hemorrhoids, and many more digestive related illnesses.

The principles laid out in the Dysbiosis Diet are designed to rebalance our microbiome. Our microbiome is key to our digestive health and our diet is not only key to an optimal microbiome, but also to our overall health.
However, first we need to lay the foundations for our microbiome to grow and thrive so we can start benefiting from it, and that means reducing the number of pathogens, healing the tight junctions of the intestines, and providing the right environment that our commensal (good) bacteria will want to set up home in.

There are no results for Stress, Our Perception, Oxytocin, And Nervous System.
There’s a study that tracks 30,000 American adults for eight years, and they started by asking people, how much stress have you been experiencing for the past year, they also ask if you believe that stress is harmful to your health?

They then use public death record to find out who passed away; people who experience a lot of stress past year has a 43% increased risk of dying, but that was only true if they believe that stress is harmful to their health. On the other side, people who experience much stress, but did not view stress is harmful to our body, had the lowest risk of dying much like those who suffer very little stress.

In fact, over the eight years of tracking death, 182,000 of American dies prematurely not from stress, but from the believes that stress is bad for you! That is an estimation of about 20 000 death per year, just from our perception. Studies have shown that when you change your mind about stress, you can change our body responds to stress, all controlled by our nervous system.

Your body is energized, and preparing you, to meet the challenge, it pumped the heart harder, to help us takes in more oxygen for the brain (1). In another study conducted at Harvard University, researchers put participants in a stressful situation, but they were told to view stress as an energizer for the body to help meet the challenge. They were taught that the pounding heart and the rapid breathing is normal, as these supply more oxygen to the brain.

As a result, they were less stressed out, less anxious, more confident. However, the fascinating part is their physical stress response. While their heart was beating hard, their blood vessels stayed relaxed. As for those who have the perception that stress is harmful to their body, researchers found that their blood vessels constrict – part of the reason why chronic stress may lead to cardiovascular disease like heart attack, angina or stroke.

Normal constriction of blood vessel during stress.

Relaxed state of blood vessel during stress from a changed belief system about stress. Similarly, in the moment of joy and courage, our heart is pumping hard, but our blood vessels remain relaxed. This difference in biological changes could be the difference between people that had a stress-induced stroke or heart attack at their 50s, then those who live well up until their 90s. The new stress studies reveal that the way we perceive stress matters (1).
Another misconception we usually view stress is that stress isolates us from everyone else, on the contrary, it makes us social. Oxytocin (also known as the cuddle hormone) is a neurohormone, it fine tunes our brain social instinct, it primes us, to do things that strengthens close relationships. Oxytocin also makes us crave for more physical contact, with our friends and family, it increases our empathy, and it even makes us more willing to help and support people we care about.

However, most of us do not realize; Oxytocin is a stress hormone!
There’s a part of our brain called the pituitary gland that pumps this hormone out as a stress response. It triggers the stress response just like adrenaline hormone that makes our heart pound. When our brains release oxytocin, it is a stress response.
It is motivating us to seek support, and it’s nudging us to tell people we love how we feel, instead of keeping it bottled inside. Our stress response is indirectly telling us that when somebody is struggling, we should be supporting each other.
When life is difficult, our stress response compels us to surround ourselves with the people who care. ‍So, oxytocin is a natural anti-inflammatory, it helps the body to stay relax, and most importantly, oxytocin helps our heart tissue to regenerate from damages, as it also strengthens our heart.

So, all of these physical benefits of oxytocin are enhanced by social contact and social support. So when we reach out to others under stress, our body releases more of these stress hormones, oxytocin, our heart becomes healthier, and we recover faster from stress.
Our stress response has a built-in mechanism, govern by our nervous system, for stress resilient, and that mechanism is human connections (1). As such, our optimal well-being and health are deeply associated with our nervous system. Our physical well-being (spinal alignment) affects our psychological well-being (perception of stress), and hence our physical stress response (Oxytocin release).

As much as we now know that human interactions and connections reduce stress,
the biomechanical and physical well-being of our body allows us to live a better
quality of life (1).

Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University who is
known for her work in the field of “science help” which focuses on translating insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support health and well-being. Mainstream media articles about inner-conflict-related aspects of modern lifestyles regularly quote her.
A longtime advocate of self-compassion and mindfulness as stress-coping strategies, McGonigal has altered her focus on the problematic aspects of stress; in a talk at the TEDGlobal 2013, she emphasized the importance of an individual’s subjective belief in themselves as someone who is able to cope successfully as being a crucial factor in their actual response to stress.

Smoking & Lung Cancer

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Ken

Lung Cancer Rates Are Soaring Among Unlikely Groups — an Oncologist Explains Why

FACT: About 13% of all new cancers are lung cancers.
The American Cancer Society’s estimates for lung cancer in the United States for 2019
are: About 228,150 new cases of lung cancer (116,440 in men and 111,710 in women)
About 142,670 deaths from lung cancer (76,650 in men and 66,020 in women).
Research has shown that nonsmokers who reside with a smoker have a 24%
increase in risk for developing lung cancer when compared with other nonsmokers.
An estimated 7,300 lung cancer deaths occur each year in the U.S. that are also
attributable to passive smoking.

An average smoker gets about 200 hits of nicotine a day, and over 70,000 hits per year. Ten puffs per cigarette, times 20 cigarettes a day gives you about 200 hits of nicotine a day. Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke is typically breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Most commonly, the substance used is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant, which have been rolled into a small rectangle of rolling paper to create a small, round cylinder called
a cigarette. Smoking is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use because the combustion of the dried plant leaves vaporizes and delivers active substances into the lungs where they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and reach bodily tissue.

In the case of cigarette smoking, these substances are contained in a mixture of aerosol particles and gases and include the pharmacologically active alkaloid nicotine; the vaporization creates heated aerosol and gas into a form that allows inhalation and deep penetration into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream of the active substances occurs. In some cultures, smoking is also carried out as a part of various rituals, where participants use it to help induce trance-like states that, they believe, can lead them to spiritual enlightenment.

The first explanation of why rates of lung cancer in women have increased:
Many started smoking later than men, pushing back their peak in smoking-related
lung cancer diagnoses Women also started smoking in the years when filtered cigarettes were most commonly used.
This led to an increased risk of a type of cancer called adenocarcinoma due to the way cigarette filters distribute tobacco smoke to the outer parts of the lungs.

Some studies suggest that women are more susceptible to the carcinogenic effects
of exposure to tobacco and cigarette smoke, including second-hand smoke, and may
develop lung cancer after fewer years of smoking compared to men.
However, it’s important to note that most people diagnosed today with lung cancer are not active smokers. About 20 percent of women with lung cancer have never smoked — higher than for men with lung cancer who’ve never smoked.

**Lung cancer risk factors**
Besides smoking and secondhand smoke, there are several other lung cancer risk factors. These include a family history of cancer and exposure to asbestos, radon, and air pollution. Exposure to carcinogens in the workplace in the form of inhaled chemicals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, silica, and nickel is still a concern in some parts of the world. The potential lung cancer risk of e-cigarette and marijuana smoke is still under study but is of potential concern.

Recently, researchers have also found that genetics can play a role in lung cancer risk in some patients with a strong history of lung cancer. Studies of these families have helped identify potential susceptibility genes for lung cancer and environmental risk factors. Like BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer, alterations in genes that promote or protect against tumor development can contribute to lung cancer development.

Researchers have yet to identify specific mutations that may predispose individuals to lung cancer. However, studying familial genetic predispositions can help elucidate how lung cancer develops and lead to new biomarkers for early cancer detection in high-risk groups.

an Oncologist Explains Why.

**Screening and diagnosis**
In 2021, the United States Preventive Services Task Force updated its lung cancer screening guidelines to include younger patients with less smoking history. Now, lung cancer screening is recommended for adults ages 50 to 80 who have smoked at least one pack per day for 20 years, current smokers, and former smokers who quit smoking within the last 15 years. Women at risk for lung cancer can talk to their doctors about ordering a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening.

Nationwide, more than 70 percent of eligible women undergo breast cancer screening, but less than 6 percent of all eligible smokers pursue lung cancer screening. Researchers estimate that these new screening guidelines will increase the number of women eligible for lung cancer screening by 40 percent by including those at a younger age who have less smoking exposure.

In recent years, increasing understanding of the genetic changes that can lead to
cancer and how to harness the immune system to treat cancer has led to new targeted therapies and immunotherapies that have improved the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. Women tend to have a better lung cancer prognosis than men, especially if they have never smoked and have tumors with molecular changes that can be treated with targeted therapies.

However, lung cancer symptoms may go unrecognized in women. Symptoms of lung cancer can include coughing, shortness of breath, overwhelming fatigue, and pain in the back, chest, or shoulder, which could be confused for other ailments.
Because women tend to be slightly younger when diagnosed than men, patients may be able to tolerate symptoms longer and delay seeking medical attention. Physicians also might not attribute these symptoms to lung cancer due to a patient’s younger age.

Recognizing the early symptoms of lung cancer, expanding lung cancer screening eligibility, and testing for genetic biomarkers to select the best therapy are some of the steps that could help address the global epidemic of lung cancer in women.

**Why Are More Nonsmoking Women Getting Lung Cancer?**

Oncologist Julie Brahmer is trying to understand why more women who have never smoked are developing lung cancer. (Non Smoking men are, too, but to a lesser extent.) Toxins in the environment, genetic predisposition and interactions with hormones may hold clues to why this is occurring.

This topic—and dozens more health concerns—will be addressed at A Woman’s Journey, the annual Johns Hopkins Medicine conference that offers insights on women’s physical and emotional health.

That’s how Brahmer views her studies on women and lung cancer.

In recent years, Brahmer, director of the Thoracic Oncology Program at Johns Hopkins and an international leader in lung cancer clinical trials, has witnessed rising rates of lung cancer in her female patients who’ve neither smoked nor had regular exposure to tobacco smoke.

Brahmer will share her clinical experiences, research and success with new immunotherapies—cancer treatments that boost the body’s natural ability
to fight cancer—at the conference.

Brahmer’s session on lung cancer in women who have never smoked will likely draw strong interest, says Yasmine Sursock-Khouri, a marketing project manager for the event, because the news is so alarming.

But for nonsmokers between the ages of 40 and 79, more women than men are at risk
for developing lung cancer. The latest data show an incidence rate in nonsmoking women ranging from 14.4 to 20.8 percent. For nonsmoking men, the rate is between 4.8 and 13.7 percent.

Brahmer says, “Patients who have never smoked are shocked and ask, ‘Why me?’”
It’s not clear whether the causes are environmental, hormonal or genetic, she adds,
“but we’re looking at this carefully and pressing the government to do the same.”

Brahmer acknowledges that exposure to secondhand smoke and high radon levels,
as well as family history, can also raise risks. “We haven’t been able to find a particular gene,” she says, “but having a sibling or parent with lung cancer also increases your risk.” She also wants women to be aware of symptoms that can alert a patient and physician to lung cancer before the spread of disease.

Red flags include shortness of breath, an incessant cough and overwhelming fatigue.
Brahmer chose to study lung cancer in the 1990s because treatment for the disease was then in its infancy. Her interest was also personal: Several of her family members died from lung cancer. All were men, but in her practice, Brahmer began noticing that more women who had no exposure to tobacco smoke were developing lung cancer.

From the outset of her career, she’s been working on lung cancer treatments.
For the past dozen years, she’s been helping to develop immunotherapies to treat patients with lung cancer. Brahmer’s clinical trial results led to the approval of immunotherapy to treat non-small cell lung cancer.

The side effects of immunotherapy differ drastically from those of chemotherapy, notorious for causing extreme nausea, Brahmer explains. Immunotherapy can cause inflammation of organs, including lungs, colon and skin. But the number of Brahmer’s female patients who require treatment for these side effects, she says, is only 15 percent. And those symptoms can be relieved by steroids.

Spending time with patients inspires Brahmer to press harder for more clinical research dollars. “To see people respond to therapy—and for these women to be able to see their kids graduate from high school or have grandchildren—has been gratifying,” she says. With more funding, she adds, “we can have an impact on how well patients do, and, over the next 10 years, we think it will be possible to cure more patients with this disease.”

Brahmer has been a featured speaker at AWJ in Palm Beach as well as Baltimore.
“It’s been a great experience to see so many women vested in their health,” she says.
“People need to keep lung cancer on their radar; it’s not just ovarian or breast cancer
that can strike women.”

AWJ has taken place in nine locations, including Palm Beach and Naples, Florida,
where the topic of rising rates of lung cancer in nonsmoking women will also be covered.
In recent years, in partnership with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, the program has expanded to Bermuda and Saudi Arabia. Employees receive a 10 percent discount for registration. Continuing education units also are offered by professional groups.

Lung Cancer Rates Are Soaring Among Unlikely Groups — an Oncologist Explains Why

FACT: About 13% of all new cancers are lung cancers.
The American Cancer Society’s estimates for lung cancer in the United States for 2019
are: About 228,150 new cases of lung cancer (116,440 in men and 111,710 in women)
About 142,670 deaths from lung cancer (76,650 in men and 66,020 in women).
Research has shown that nonsmokers who reside with a smoker have a 24%
increase in risk for developing lung cancer when compared with other nonsmokers.
An estimated 7,300 lung cancer deaths occur each year in the U.S. that are also
attributable to passive smoking.

An average smoker gets about 200 hits of nicotine a day, and over 70,000 hits per year. Ten puffs per cigarette, times 20 cigarettes a day gives you about 200 hits of nicotine a day. Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke is typically breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Most commonly, the substance used is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant, which have been rolled into a small rectangle of rolling paper to create a small, round cylinder called
a cigarette. Smoking is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use because the combustion of the dried plant leaves vaporizes and delivers active substances into the lungs where they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and reach bodily tissue.

In the case of cigarette smoking, these substances are contained in a mixture of aerosol particles and gases and include the pharmacologically active alkaloid nicotine; the vaporization creates heated aerosol and gas into a form that allows inhalation and deep penetration into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream of the active substances occurs. In some cultures, smoking is also carried out as a part of various rituals, where participants use it to help induce trance-like states that, they believe, can lead them to spiritual enlightenment.

The first explanation of why rates of lung cancer in women have increased:
Many started smoking later than men, pushing back their peak in smoking-related
lung cancer diagnoses Women also started smoking in the years when filtered cigarettes were most commonly used.
This led to an increased risk of a type of cancer called adenocarcinoma due to the way cigarette filters distribute tobacco smoke to the outer parts of the lungs.

Some studies suggest that women are more susceptible to the carcinogenic effects
of exposure to tobacco and cigarette smoke, including second-hand smoke, and may
develop lung cancer after fewer years of smoking compared to men.
However, it’s important to note that most people diagnosed today with lung cancer are not active smokers. About 20 percent of women with lung cancer have never smoked — higher than for men with lung cancer who’ve never smoked.

**Lung cancer risk factors**
Besides smoking and secondhand smoke, there are several other lung cancer risk factors. These include a family history of cancer and exposure to asbestos, radon, and air pollution. Exposure to carcinogens in the workplace in the form of inhaled chemicals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, silica, and nickel is still a concern in some parts of the world. The potential lung cancer risk of e-cigarette and marijuana smoke is still under study but is of potential concern.

Recently, researchers have also found that genetics can play a role in lung cancer risk in some patients with a strong history of lung cancer. Studies of these families have helped identify potential susceptibility genes for lung cancer and environmental risk factors. Like BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer, alterations in genes that promote or protect against tumor development can contribute to lung cancer development.

Researchers have yet to identify specific mutations that may predispose individuals to lung cancer. However, studying familial genetic predispositions can help elucidate how lung cancer develops and lead to new biomarkers for early cancer detection in high-risk groups.

You Aren’t Born This Way

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Ken

This ski champion is very famous for her superb energy workouts and grueling cardio sessions, however, she also counts upon two very important things: data and dozes.

Mikaela Shiffrin has been compared to the abilities and skills of Lindsey Vonn, Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps, and so, all eyes are on the skier whether in PyeongChang or any other country she will next move forward to. Bu this comes with a lot of people wondering about her diet and workout routine to boost her energy levels.
In fact, staying persistent and consistent is a part of her success and here we will discuss what makes her so consistent. Shiffrin got back three gold medals in her competition in South Korea and is now “the youngest-ever Olympic slalom champion,” according to CNN. “With Mikaela it’s a combination of hard work, being really talented, being really focused, and having the drive and wanting to win,” her agent told CNN.

Just. Be. Careful @ brittanykonsella
. Mikaela Shiffrin (@mikaelashiffrin) • Instagram photos and videos
A little over 3 yrs ago, I was run over by my own car after I fell and it backed over me on
a slight incline just as yours is here. Though it wasn’t moving fast, it still thrashed me and dragged me with unbelievable force. The tires broke my neck and femur as they rolled over my body and I had cuts in my head that bore into my skull. I was Flight for Life to Denver where I spent 2 weeks in the hospital, a week of which was in the ICU, and had 3 surgeries to repair my mangled body.

I still have permanent nerve damage in my left hand, a vertebral artery occlusion which puts me at risk for stroke, and my neck has lost a lot of mobility due to having 5 fused vertebrae. I am grateful and extremely lucky to have returned to full activity, despite
what doctors originally told me. But I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone.

Let alone America’s greatest skier I always thought if I got really hurt it would be doing something more… extreme. As you know, weird stuff can happen when you least expect it so please be careful around the car!

Mikaela Shiffrin Workout Routine
Believe it minor not but whether in training or competition, the 24-year-old competition does not really practice whatever others do, like yoga, meditation, or some visualization techniques. In fact, for her, things are rather simpler. This is something she needs above everything else and that is: sleep.“Sleeping is my meditation,” Shiffrin says.

“It’s the only time you can recover, physically and emotionally, at the same time.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5-K1nDKTA/Well, it is pretty understandable that with a routine like Mikaela Shiffrin, it is rather easy to fall asleep because she needs some extra zzzs. She is always under the watchful eyes of her coach, Jeff Lackie, and she is sure to train as hard as any other athlete.
On any typical day, she would wake up at 5 or 6 am, grab a quick and healthy breakfast, and then perform some exercises to activate her core muscles. Then by 7 or 8 am, she is only to be found on the mountains, practicing runs and other workouts for the next 2 to 5 hours.
After lunch and of course a small siesta, she is out in the gym again, working on some conditioning and mobility exercises. After that, it is followed by relaxing at home with some dinner and probably a movie, and of course some more rest too.
It’s the same next day.

Mikaela Has a Workout Routine Designed for Balance & Glute Strength

Can Mikaela Shiffrin become even better? – Sports Illustrated
Mikaela Shiffrin’s workout plan is not always the same but most of all, it is designed
to center on balance and glute strength. “…you’ll see her juggle while skipping between balance disks (like we said, balls to the wall!), walk on top of standing dumbbells, and triple-step jump up the stairs.
All things to improve her balance (crucial on the downhill) and develop serious glute strength to power her turns,” states Women’s Health Magazine. She also does a lot of cardio to improve her agility and flexibility, and sometimes sprints while dragging a
sled with weights, according to CNN.
Jeff Lackie, her trainer, told to NorthJersey.com: “You have to have the strength to resist those forces as well as be able to move really quickly,” he revealed. The newspaper informs that Mikaela Shiffrin “does 90-minute workouts twice a day, five times a week, to keep in top shape.”

Mikaela Lifts Weights to Increase Her Body Mass.

Mikaela constantly posts photos on Instagram revealing her involvement in
weightlifting routines. CNN broadcasts that Shiffrin has managed to put on some mass. “Shiffrin stands 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds, similar to four years ago but with more ‘baby fat’ converted to muscle,” the news site reports.

According to CNN, Shiffrin’s weight workout has a lot of focus on a particular exercise, squats. They say, “and various types of lifts with a weighted bar, emphasizing ‘eccentric overload training.’”
That is the “phase when the muscle is lengthening, which is a more efficient way of targeting the muscle than concentrating on how much she can lift,” CNN reports.
She also employs a device to track her progress called GymAware, according to CNN.
That device is a whopping $2,200, “looks like a small bomb, and measures lifting metrics like bar angle and velocity,” according to OutsideOnline.
If anyone is trying to follow the footsteps of this ski competitor, then it is pretty
ok to follow Mikaela Shiffrin’s go-to workouts to help build some muscles in the legs.
YOu can do it once a week, or just like Mikaela Shiffrin, 5 times a week, with a lot of
naps in between because with exercises as strenuous as hers, you are bound to fall asleep anytime. Here are a few of her favorite exercises for lower body strength that she likes to add to her routine:

1. Isometric Band Clamshell
https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeKPulFZbc/
Take a mini resistance band and put it encompassing your legs, just underneath your knees. Recline on your left side with your glutes and knees bent at a 45-degree angle.
Put your right leg above your left leg, with your heels placed together. Putting your feet unitedly and left leg on the ground, lift your right knee as high as you can without your heels spreading separate. Stay put for 30 seconds, then change sides and repeat by completing at least 2 sets.

2. Step-up Jump
Put your right feet over a step up or a box with your arms crossed in front of your chest. You can even hold some light weights or according to your strength like Mikaela Shiffrin does. The first movement would be squeezing your hips in a forward position and extending your right leg up. Push from your heels to take a jump above the box.
You can reverse this movement and then return to start. This would be a single rep.
Do 6 reps on each side and then repeat. You must do at least 4 sets.

3. Barbell Lateral Lunge
Put a barbell or any kind of bar across your upper back. Put your feet high apart.
If you are just a beginner, you can use lighter dumbbells or no weight at all.
Step to your right with your right leg bent in a position to form a side lunge. Keep your back straight and your core tight. Take a push from the right foot to return to the start position. That is a single rep. Do 8 reps on each side and complete three sets.

4. Glute-Ham Raise
https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fhW6Aj4gG/
Put your feet next to the footplate of a glute-ham or back extension machine as you lie on your stomach with your knees just behind the pad. Criss Cross your arms in front of your chest and drop your trunk toward the ground. You can increase the intensity of this exercise by taking a resistance band with both hands as Mikaela Shiffrin does. Press your hamstrings, glutes, and core to stretch your trunk up till it’s upright to the floor. Rest, then gradually revert to the starting position. That’s one rep. Do 12 for a total of three sets.

5. Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift with 1/4 Squat
Stand with feet wide apart till shoulder length holding a pair of dumbells on your side. Keep your back straight with a little bend on your left knee.
Hold your core and by keeping it tight, raise your right foot off the floor and slowly move your trunk downwards towards the floor. Your right foot must be extended in the air behind you.

Once the weights reach the knee level, twist your left knee to drop into a one-fourth squat. Push through your foot to stretch your left leg, then press your hips to revert to a standing position. That’s a single rep. Do six of them and then switch sides and repeat.
A total of four sets should be completed.

Home Workouts
Mikaela Shiffrin has not stopped working out even in quarantine.
She constantly posts videos and pics on her social media stating her workout routine:
“With so many people in self-isolation right now, I’ve seen a lot of really cool workout ideas circulating online and on social media, and I thought I’d share the workout I did yesterday! Explanation below with substitution ideas if you don’t have any equipment.

Mikaela Shiffrin workout routine – Bing video
Of course, every time you see a workout video out there, use your best judgment on
your own comfort level and ability. The most important thing is that everyone stays safe. There’s no need to get hurt at home doing any of these workouts, especially when hospital care and resources are so limited.

With that said, enjoy! ??‍???‍”

SKIING: Workout tips from slalom champ Mikaela Shiffrin
(greenvilleonline.com)

Set 1
Bike intervals: 30 sec. hard, 20 sec. rest x 5-10
90º/90º hip openers with activation x 4-5 per side
Plank row x 8 per side (try to keep everything solid, no twisting your hips or shifting weight). Dead bug SLOW x 5 per side (count to 3 each rep, with or without weight).
Straight into full sit-ups SLOW x 10 (my strength coach would say “savor it!”,
lower back to the ground slowly and with control, with or without weight)
Pull-ups x as many as you can do. (if you aren’t able to do one, you can use a chair to start at the top and then do slow-eccentric let-downs- try to count to 5 or 10 seconds as you let down.) Repeat ALL 2-3 times

Set 2
Sideways monster-band walks with scapula-stabilization x15 steps each direction
Single-leg glute burners x 15 per side (with or without the band, stand on one leg with slight knee flexion and extend the other diagonally backward. Keep your lower back solid, the motion comes from your glutes/hips, not you are back!
Use a wall or pole etc. to assist with balance)
Body-weight overhead squats x 15 (with or without band)
Single-leg stair jumpers x 6 per side (drop down onto one leg fast,
and then explode up from that same leg onto the step)
Double-leg continues stair hops x 10 (jump up and down on the stair continuously.)
Optional bonus: Handstand push-ups x 6 and handstand walk-outs x 4.
Repeat ALL 2-3 times (substitution detail in comments)

Substitution Ideas
https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sz7-bDmXk/
“I’m thankful to have some equipment at my home, but obviously, not everyone has equipment available, i.e. a bike or pull-up bar,” she said.
You can interchange a bike with jumping jacks, high knees (kind of like moving in the area but you shuffle drawing your knees up to 90 degrees as quickly as you can), or running sprints if you are suitable to go outdoors. If you have something that might exchange SAFELY as a pull-up bar then reach for it, but you could likewise replace these for different upper body workouts like push-ups.

If you don’t have resistance bands for Mikaela Shiffrin’s exercises like the monster-walks and scap-stabilization, you can do an isometric wall-sit (actually just sitting against a wall with knees at 90º). Concurrently keep your arms out to the bottom perpendicular to your body, palms folding ahead, forcing your arms behind against the wall, and produce a snow-angel movement on the wall from perpendicular to hands above your head.
(pull your shoulder blades up & down like in shrugs through the whole motion, as if you are deciding to press a pencil in between them).

Almost everyone can get easy access to theaters, but if you do not have one, you can replace it with jumps. You can replace both single leg and double legs stair jumps to do some great squat jumps on any surface that you want. The handstand work is not required at all, you could exchange this with added push-ups or your preferred arm/upper body exercise or just jump that collectively. I really find those to be a surprisingly excellent and enjoyable method to work shoulder strength and endurance- which in turn corrects my posture and back stiffness remarkably.

**6 + 1 Rules to Stand By**

1. She warms up with some light cardio and stretching.
For an Olympic athlete, who is always on the move, she starts her day by warming up because that is crucial. This previous summer, Shiffrin was working out at the U.S. ski team’s buildings (called the Center of Excellence) in Park City, Utah.
According to The New Yorker, she began her workouts with a 10-minute warm-up on the stationary bike and stretching. A good suggestion: If an Olympian can take out some time to stretch, so can you.

2. Lower-body strength training plays an important role.
Her trainer, Jeff Lackie, told CNN that strength exercise is a primary focus of Shiffrin’s program.
She usually achieves this through “squats and various types of lifts with a weighted bar.” Lackie describes this system of training as “eccentric overload training.” This basically implies that the strength movements concentrate on the lowering part of the exercise, preparing the muscles to be more powerful in the extended position—for a skier that intends to be able to be secure and durable in a squatted position. Her interval training workouts are no joke.

3. Her interval training is very tough and no joke for regular people.
It is filled with movements like sprints, pushing and pulling a weighted sled, squatting, working on the rowing machine, and skating. The interval training gets very intense but she puts through it all. However, she always makes it to finish through the workout so that she could move to the next part of it.

4. She tracks the intensity of her workouts—and they’re usually really, really intense.
As The New Yorker reports, Shiffrin ranks her exercises on a range from 1 to 10.
Most maximum times, they’re launching the high end of the scale. “We have a grading
scale that I fill out for every workout. Ten are dying or passing out. I rate nine fairly often.”
And while she agrees to come close to retching from an extreme workout, she never has.
“I’d pass out before I’d puke,” she says. (And you held your HIIT class was cutting…)

5. She also spends time working on her balance.
Anyone who has tried to ski or does ski knows well that it is all about balance which is hard to maintain to make it down the hill in one piece. After she completes her workout, she does some balancing exercises which include movements like walking on a slackline. She also posted a video of herself on Instagram where she was seen walking on bolsters while juggling. If that isn’t an impressive feat, I don’t know what is. She also posted another video where she was walking backward on the top of her dumbbells! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1joQXwDuez/

6. She is her number one source of motivation.
It may appear like the whole United States is encouraging and throwing positivity
on Shiffrin, but when she exercises, she has a precept against too much positive reinforcement. According to The New Yorker, her mantra is, “The motivation must come from within.” Although her trainer would help her put through the intense working out sessions, in the end, it is she who has to go through all of it alone.

7. She sleeps nine hours each night, on average, and naps every single day.
Shiffrin sleeps so much and so frequently that she’s got the nickname Sir Naps A Lot, according to NBC. She thinks that her bed is her most prized territory and has an obligated regular nap break. She’s even dropped napping on ski lifts and in the snow were a race. Taking adequate zzz’s is a vital portion of any exercise program—you have to make your body heal after a hard workout so it can grow back more powerful. After all that laborious exercise, it’s no surprise that Shiffrin gets some shut-eye whenever and wherever she can make it appear.

Shiffrin’s programming is very well considered by the experts, and it focuses on the abilities and powers she needs to be strong — and quick. Of course, lower-body strength is crucial because the effectiveness she feels going into a turn is extensive. “If you took a skier making a giant slalom turn and then stacked five of that skier on top of herself, that equals the forces you are dealing with for that turn,” she says. “That is why we are in the gym doing max squats — you have to be able to hold your legs strong and your entire body because that force is coming down on every part of your body.”

Mikaela Shiffrin also makes sure that she is working on her balance

Along with her strength and she likes to take it slow. “One workout I love to do is a 45-minute plyometric workout on an outdoor staircase with like 30 steps,” Shiffrin says.
“I do single-legged jumps up the stairs, two or three or four at a time, and try to make my landing time as short as possible. The idea is to reduce the impact but still get the power and strength and explosive motion from taking off.”
Although she gives a lot of importance to her leg training, she does not neglect the other parts of her body in the course. “You can have the strongest legs in the world, but if you don’t have core stability, you’re not going to survive — you’ll blow out your back on the first turn you make,” she says. “Ski racing is really hard on your back, so skiers tend to have over-developed back muscles. To balance that, you have to make sure your core is really strong.”

And considering her runs can be anywhere from 90 seconds to three minutes, Shiffrin usually works out both her anaerobic engine and her cardiovascular standing. “One day
a week, I go for a long bike ride where I will do longer intervals for endurance,” she says. “But I also run or train on the rower or the Assault bike doing 45-second all-out intervals for the duration of an hour. It is the most grueling thing; it almost makes me want to stop ski racing!”That was all about her workout routine. Here’s something about her diet plan which gives her all that energy to put through her grueling workouts.

Mikaela Shiffrin Diet Plan
What Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin Eats in a Day to Stay in Such Good Shape (goodhousekeeping.com)
As any good athlete should, Mikaela Shiffrin eats to fuel her body and does not
follow any specific and restrictive diet. “With all the strength training I do, protein is an essential component of my meals but so are carbs,” she says. “One of my biggest sponsors is Barilla pasta, which has been a sponsor of mine for six years now. Part of that is because I love pasta — who doesn’t? — but they also have a whole line of products made with whole grains and extra fiber as well as their Protein Plus product that has extra protein infused into the pasta. So, yeah, please don’t make me do Paleo! Bring on the gluten and the carbs!”

Pasta makes it to almost every one of her meals because she loves it so much but she also balances all the carbs with a portion of healthy lean protein like chicken or eggs and some healthy fat sources like avocado. “I try to avoid sugar, but I love dessert, so it is a constant moral battle,” she says, laughing. “Everything in moderation. I’ll treat myself with a dessert now and then but not daily.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQh9evDzjk/
Pasta is also very compact, which comes in handy when Shiffrin goes to lands where her prospects are restrained.
“If I stay in a hotel for a weekend, I will actually give them a box of pasta and have them cook that for me instead of the pasta they have in the kitchen,” she admits. “It’s also the only thing I can stomach before a race since it is easy to eat and digest.”Some quirks about her diet habits:Mikaela Calls Pasta Her ‘Super Food’.

Despite many people trying to avoid carbs for some reason, Mikaela Shiffrin never
really avoids it and in fact, loves pasta. She has called pasta her “superfood.”
She includes carbohydrates into each meal, according to Good Housekeeping. “They’re essential in providing the energy I need, especially on race days that can last 12 hours,” Shiffrin said, according to the magazine. “I wouldn’t eat a 1,000-calorie bowl of spaghetti for dinner, but I’ve always loved pasta and think it’s a good addition to any meal and a great base for pretty much any vegetable. It’s also great when I have a nervous stomach before race day.”

Mikaela Believes in Moderation in Her Diet

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pbdZ1DBZ6/
Although Mikaela Shiffrin loves to eat pasta a lot, her diet revolves around balance and moderation, according to Good Housekeeping. “Balance and moderation are the basis for my diet, though, so I also make sure to incorporate plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies throughout the day,” she told the magazine. “I feel like I have the metabolism of a pregnant woman! I have to watch what I eat,” Mikaela told Clean Eating Magazine. “It’s important. I go through phases where I write down everything I eat, and I keep track of calories. For the most part, I have a pretty good gauge of the portions that I should have carbs versus protein, versus vegetables. The easiest way for me to have energy is to have some carbs. I always have pasta after a race and after training to fuel me up and get me ready for tomorrow.”

She Eats 3,000 Calories a Day
According to Eating Well, Mikaela says, “I usually try to eat 3,000 calories. Carbs are an essential part of my meals—I can’t survive without them, especially on race days, which can last 12 hours.”She expressed her special meal plan to

Eating Well on days when she is competing:
“Breakfast is two eggs and two pieces of toast. Or sometimes cereal (or oatmeal) and fruit. Lunch is chicken or fish, plus salad and a carb, like pasta. Dinner looks a lot like lunch for me: chicken or steak, pasta, and salad, or some other vegetables.”
She loves to snack on nuts and seeds and dried mangoes, according to the site.
The ski competitor, Mikaela Shiffrin, says that it is all about the strenuous routine that keeps her grounded to follow a healthy and nutritious diet. Here’s a sample of it:

Breakfast
“I’ll do two eggs and two pieces of whole-wheat toast and sometimes, cereal or oatmeal and fruit, says Shiffrin. “I rely on breakfast to give me a kickstart of energy in the morning, so I choose my foods accordingly.”

Lunch
The Olympian sticks to lean protein, like chicken or fish, for her lunch meal — but she regularly makes certain to receive in salad and a portion of carbs that provides her energy.
“I really rely on carbs because I expend a lot of energy during the day,” she explains.
“I especially love Pasta, Pasta Sauce, and Recipes | Barilla because it has a lot of options that complement my activity level. They have a great veggie line that provides one full serving of vegetables per portion, but my favorite is probably their multigrain ProteinPLUS because it gets in fiber, ALA omega 3, and protein from
simple ingredients like flaxseeds, chickpeas, and egg whites.”

Snack
Moving along is key for Shiffrin, who loves to grab on a mix of nuts and seeds while she’s on the hills simply because they are healthy and convenient. “They not only fill me up but are convenient to carry around all day,” she says. “Dried mangos are always a good bet, too.”

Dinner
And here comes so much more pasta in her diet.
“I do chicken or steak, pasta, and salad or steamed/roasted vegetables,” says Shiffrin.

Shiffrin — who really co-operated on a cookbook with Barilla — says her ideal recipe is a Farfalle pasta with edamame, lemon, black pepper, and pecorino. The exact recipe can be found on her social media handles which she has shared.

“My whole thing is simple, well-balanced meals,” she says. “I have to say, though,
that I really like dessert. I try not to eat dessert every day, but I’ll have dessert now
and then.” Dessert meaning “Dark Chocolate!”

For her, cooking is always on the menu but only when she has time. And clearly, she spends most of her free time napping and resting but hey, cooking is pretty relaxing too! She says, “I’d say 7 when I have the time. My mom and I love cooking together.
And I make a mean mac & cheese!”
She likes to eat desserts but tries not to eat them every single day. She explains her favorite dessert saying, “I try not to! But I really like dessert. One of my favorite things is to have something sweet at the end of dinner, like dark chocolate–covered berries.”
She loves to experiment with food wherever she travels and with her latest stop being PyeongChang, South Korea, during the Winter Olympics she had some favorite delicacies waiting for her. She says, “I’m hoping to leave the Olympic Village (at least a little bit) and explore the local culture and food. I’d love to try authentic bulgogi [Korean grilled beef].”

That’s all about the workout routine and diet plan of Mikaela Shiffrin!

**Vegetable Glycerin can ‘Mask’ the taste of the herbs and**

The tongue has taste receptors (taste buds). A person can comment, “this is bitter
or this is sweet, perhaps sour or spicy”. These taste receptors do other things besides just allow us to taste things. Bitter herbs, sensed by the tongue, begin a series of processes in our digestion. When a sweet taste is used to mask the tastes, it also masks the functioning as well and can prevent the herbs from working as intended in the body. This is reason enough **not to use vegetable glycerin** or other sweeteners in herbal formulas.

The Youngest CEO in Cannabis is Just Getting Started | DOPE Magazine

Rylie Maedler takes cannabis oil once in the morning, during lunch, at dinner and
before bed. The Delaware teen has been taking it since she was 7 after being diagnosed with aggressive giant cell granuloma, a rare type of tumor. Rylie’s now made it her mission to help other sick kids get the medicine they need. She’s already helped pass three laws in her home state.

In 2013, at the age of 7, Rylie was diagnosed with aggressive bone tumors that disintegrated her facial bones. Her mother, Janie, learned about the efficacy of cannabis oil against cancer and decided to give it to Rylie hoping it might help minimize her bone tumors and prevent recurrence. With the help of whole plant cannabis oil, Rylie defied everyone’s expectations. Rylie’s smile returned!

I was 14 years young with a ton of experience already as a patient fighting for my and
other children’s rights to have access to quality cannabis medicines to help quality of life.
I’ve advocated for and helped pass several laws (Rylie’s Law SB90, the MMJ School Law SB181, Pediatric Autism, and the Right to Try SB24) and I travel globally to help stimulate practical medical cannabis policies in other countries. In some states or countries I am brought in as a “disruptor.”

How This Girl Changed Cannabis Laws in Delaware – Hempster
Thank goodness I am young because I’m not finished and there is much work to be done!
I expect it to take the rest of my life unless a miracle happens globally. I was able to garner enough community support to start Rylie’s Smile Foundation 501c3 in 2014 to help my goals of supporting families in their times of need & help push for legislation.

Rylie’s Smile Foundation – YouTube
Then in late 2017, I was able to start Rylie’s Sunshine to bring quality formulas into the marketplace. We also started hemp farming the summer of 2019 in Virginia on our family farm to supplement our formulas and Rylie’s Sunshine company.
I have the motto that I have learned from generations of my family which is do it right or do not do it at all which I apply to my company. So, we may be small, but we are mighty!   https://ryliessmilefoundation.org/about-rylie-smile…/

My Experience with Cannabis
The Face of Cannabis: Treating a Disfiguring Bone Disease – The Village Voice

The summer of 2013, I started experiencing breathing issues, extreme exhaustion,
loose teeth, and my face was becoming uneven. That early fall, I was diagnosed with Aggressive Giant Cell Granuloma Bone Tumors (AGCG), which ate away the majority of the bones in my face. My case was one of the worst ever seen. AGCG is an extremely rare aggressive tumor which eats away any form of bones, primarily in the face for most cases. This tumor can cause serious facial damage, as well as deformation.

Rylie’s Law: The Janie and Rylie Maedler Story – Search (bing.com)

It has an extremely high recurrence rate, and my tumor team warned my family
that IF the tumor was to be successfully treated, it would more than likely return.
The tumors ate away my palette, maxilla, sinus, left cheek, and the bottoms of my eye orbits. My doctors told me I would be deformed for the rest of my life. They told me I would have no teeth as well. I would need many reconstructive surgeries, and get teeth implants at 16. The “only way” I could treat my condition was with chemotherapy for a term of 18+ months.

Patient Testimonial by Rylie Maedler – YouTube
After one of my procedures, on top of these issues, I also developed Epilepsy. My mom was looking for ways to help me with my pain and swelling, and came across cannabis online. After some research, she decided to try it. Right away, we saw pain relief, but only a few months later, we saw bone regeneration, my teeth roots regenerated, and tumor shrinkage (which was definitely not expected).
We later found out that cannabis also helped me with my epilepsy. Although I didn’t use chemotherapy, I was able to return to normal by using cannabis. I still use cannabis today for my epilepsy, and to make sure that my tumors don’t come back. I’ve been in remission for 7 years and have tumor check ups yearly.

Why and How I Got Involved:
After I left the hospital, I felt guilty about the kids who were still there, fighting for their lives, cooped up in hospital beds. A while after I left the hospital, my mom told me that my medicine was illegal. I wanted all of the sick kids still there to have access.
Almost a year after my diagnosis, with improving results my mom admitted to a couple of my doctors how we achieved these results and asked for their help in finding a way to get it legally.
We were sent to a specialist who said I was the perfect candidate for cannabis after he had studied my medical records. He said his hands were tied though, and he wouldn’t be able to legally help me since it was against the law for children to have cannabis.
I asked, “Why can’t I change that? So I could legally take it as well as other kids.” He said that it would be impossible to change and that he was sorry. He wouldn’t even charge us that day because he was so sad for me.

Rylie Maedler – Tumors Shrank and Seizures Stopped | alphaExtract (alpha extracts.ca)
I soon started the Rylie’s Smile Foundation to educate, advocate for better and safer access, and to support research of less toxic therapies. I felt bad that so many children’s families didn’t know of cannabis, much about it, or didn’t have the opportunity to try it.
It was taboo to even speak about! During the early days of our foundation, we gave
Apple iPods to children, in order to be able to reach out to families easier and find the
opportunity to educate them on medicinal cannabis.
In 2015, with a lot of work, Rylie’s Law was signed by our Governor which allowed sick pediatric children to have access to medical cannabis in our state. I’ve continued to advocate for better laws for children through Rylie’s Smile Foundation. The following year I advocated for children to have access to their medical cannabis on school grounds and it became law in 2016.
In 2017, my nonprofit wrote a petition to add Pediatric Autism as a qualifying condition and it passed. In 2018, I advocated for Compassionate Care which would allow our doctors to recommend medical cannabis for patients who have limited treatment options even if their condition is not on the qualifying list. Currently the foundation is still working to improve better access for families, reduce the stigma and support research.

In 2017, I also started a cannabinoid company, Our Farm | Rylie’s Sunshine (ryliessunshine.com)
Janie, COO Rylie’s Sunshine LLC, a R&D manufacturing cannabinoid company targeting specific diseases.
To help provide safe, tested, quality products for patients. Through this company we are able to support the nonprofit’s larger goals of helping families with access and furthering research. We have a registered cultivation and processing license in Virginia where we can ensure everything is done with the best standards.

Rylie’s Sunshine is able to donate half of our finished product to Rylie’s Smile Foundation in order that families in need are helped on a larger scale. As we grow our ability to help families also grows.

July 14, 2022 On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel speaks with Rylie Maedler.
Rylie was diagnosed with aggressive bone tumors at the age of seven. Her parents decided to secretly begin giving her canna oils to help with the seizures and tumors in her face. Ever since then, Rylie has become a fierce advocate for canna in her home state of Delaware. At the age of nine, she helped pass a law in Delaware named “Rylie’s Law”, which allowed children under the age of 18 to use canna oils to treat intractable epilepsy and dystonia. Today, she is the CEO of her very own canna business: Rylie’s Smile.

What Do I Want?
Rylie Maedler has been working as a Chief Executive Officer at Medical Marijuana Clinics in Delaware – Cannabis Doctor – Canna Care Docs  for 8 years. Canna Care Docs is part of the Business Services industry. I want to legalize medical cannabis for pediatrics globally, and de-stigmatize it as well. If cannabis is de-stigmatized, people will actually see it as a medicine. Without it I wouldn’t have a life nearly as good as mine today. I am a Honors Student, have great friends, speak internationally, and am very active despite my seizures and having had tumors. I know cannabis can be a life-saver to so many, and help people live the best quality of life possible. Isn’t that what we all deserve?

In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

“It’s an epidemic that’s been unleashed on purpose by the Sinaloa and the new generation Jalisco cartels.” America’s Fentanyl Crisis Started ‘On Purpose’ by Mexican Cartels, Attorney General Testifies (theepochtimes.com)

US Attorney General Merrick Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee
that the #FentanylCrisis was started “on purpose” by Mexican drug cartels.
The Mexican Drug Cartels that this Communist POS and Xiden have allowed
to control our Southern border?? Those Mexican Cartels?

Biden started it actually. He & Hunter have high stakes in Fentanyl. It started when nobody kept the laws on the border going, we have laws, but AG Garland doesn’t obey them nor anyone else in government! Garland doesn’t want to label the Mexican cartels
as terror threats He says existing US policy toward the cartels is sufficient.
Yet he admits our drug policies are not working. He said they are not stopping fentanyl.
The drug policies are not working because our open border is invaded by the cartel.
The federal government under Biden & Mayorkas created this problem and made it
clear they will not close the border or stop it.
States governors need to take the necessary steps to close and protect the border.
Stop waiting for the fed gov & congress to do it. It won’t happen. And Garland has not done one damned thing to stop the transport, sales or use of this deadly scourge! Enabling by sleepy O’Biden and his chicom overlords . If this FOOL really believed the words he said then HE WOULD HAVE CLOSED OUR SOUTHERN BORDER YEARS AGO!

#WeHaveANationToSave

Half truth — working with the Moaist Xi and giving him Afghanistan complete w a new airport to get the opium out of Afgh to the CCP to drug cartels who are now heavily armed on the U.S. Border w Mexico to our inner cities and suburbs.. Failure is not an option time to lock this lying POS up after impeachment . We should consider banishment to other countries for this type of Anti American behavior.

I don’t. More important to me is where I will survive eternity… and according to scripture there are only two options… eternally with God … or eternally separated from God.

it was a no- brainer for me… and knowing that God does not promise us our next breath… that’s when I yearned to know the will of God. It is also the only way of eternal security.
I pray that this, too, will become your desire, as well.

CAN LOVE CHANGE THE WORLD?

Posted on February 28, 2023 by Ken

CAN LOVE REALLY CHANGE THE WORLD?

If we think of Life as an ocean, and ourselves as water particles existing within it,
I think it’s easy to imagine how we are all one DNA. The energy of Life carries us along; sometimes it’s rough with us, sometimes it’s soothingly calm – at times, we’ll get pulled down by undercurrents into complete darkness, and at others, we will be the crest of the wave glistening in the sun.

Life is dangerous, beautiful, and its energy can change in an instant when a storm blows in. Whilst some parts of the ocean will be more volatile than others, we can appreciate how the energy of the tide eventually ripples through, gradually bearing impact on the total sum. As human beings we may, at times, feel our own actions are insignificant. But when we imagine the Ripple Effect, we know that with every life we touch, and every energy exchange we manifest, we contribute to the energy of the Collective Human Soul.

No matter whether our energy is positive or negative, our conversation complimentary or derogatory, the energy that we expel will flow out to more people than those we encounter first-hand. For example, if we start an argument with our partner before work, we may go to work in a bad mood, we may be short with others when we should show patience – and the people we’re curt with will react to the energy which originally stemmed from you and your partner. As other people’s energy is destabilised, this continues into their encounters with others, and so on…

When we watch other species who we share the Earth with, we can wonder at how
flocks of birds and shoals of fish can move together as one – they seem to think as a
group, and each knows the movements they must gracefully make to stay within their flow. And as we observe the human race, although our movements appear scattered
and autonomous, I believe through evolved Consciousness, there is a desire to simply, peacefully ‘Be’, as part of the Human Collective.

Through watching the mainstream News, it would appear on the surface that our modern societies know nothing of harmoniously gliding through the currents as peaceful beings. But I would like to proffer that in addition to bearing collective witness to all the craziness that is out there, the generations alive today are capable of being the most caring and thoughtful version of our species that has ever existed.

Yes, Humanity has made countless mistakes, and yes, there are an untold number
of problems that we must fix in order to live in balance with nature – and these are problems we must address quickly. But as James Redfield documented in the Celestine Prophecy, all that is needed to swing the pendulum towards Enlightenment is a Critical Mass of people who are willing to uphold ethical, Spiritual values, and this whole planet will change.
And this change will occur due to the Ripple Effect, because positive behaviour leads to positive behaviour, smiles are contagious, and the core energy of Love is stronger than Fear.

Powerful Love Brings Change.

Let Your Love Flow Bravely. When we journey down the rabbit hole –
choosing ‘The Red Pill’ to dissolve the matrix – we look at the influencing forces
which negatively impact the energy of humanity, and it becomes clear that fear and
control is the problem. But every known experience except this present moment is in the past, and just like every other trying time Humanity has endured, this problem too will pass.
Collectively we embody all the hardship our species has ever journeyed through, and the energy that each of our ancestors gave has brought us to where we are now. We are not the cause of the problems as we stand today, but rather we are the effect of every decision that has ever been made.

Whilst we can see that there are groups of people who control because of fear and the lure of power, we must remember that the majority of us are just ordinary people who wish to know peace, happiness, and Love. When we remember the theory of The Critical Mass in The Celestine Prophecy, we need look no further than an internet search engine to find an incredible number of enlightened souls who are seeking to change the world for the better.

As we start watching for people who embody Spiritual principles, we find they are everywhere. And in independent industries, artists and entrepreneurs are speeding forward with their plans to deliver services that are beneficial to the Collective Human Soul and the Earth in its entirety.
Singers are vocalizing beautiful sentiments encouraging the Conscious Evolution, directors are creating documentaries about it, writers are putting those same emotions into books, and hairdressers are talking to their clients about Spirituality whilst they color their hair. Enlightenment is simply surging, it’s glowing, and more and more people every day are waking up to this flow and feeling positively energized by it.

Change is the only constant that we can rely upon, and as every day brings new circumstances, we must ensure that as believers in the Celestine Vision, we consciously uphold the vision for world peace and do everything we can to manifest it. Whether this means cooking healthy meals for our families or marching against corruption, we all have our part to play as we move forward and nurture our species and our planet.

Whilst there are some dominant humans who seek to control the behaviour of our shoal, we must recognise that we are not just individuals, we are members of a whole. And when we pool our energy for the greater good, our individual actions combine to form a magnificent force.

As we learn from the Celestine Insights, to counter a control drama, all we simply need to do is to give energy and name the game, and once the control drama is out in the open, its power ceases to dominate. But we must always do so in a loving manner, because if we go into hate or anger, those in fear react by hardening their position and fighting back with amplified energy. Love dissolves anger and raises the consciousness of everyone concerned.

Peace is within our reach, our planet is crying out for it, and it is our birthright.
So, to achieve it, we must embody it, and through holding our own candle in the dark, we will find each other. And together, we will hold each other’s hands and pull each other out of the shadows that humanity has known for far too long.

God knows we need positive change right now, but together we endure, and when we collectively embody the change we want to see, the change we desire will come. It can’t help but come, because Love is the strongest force known to man, and we know our actions and energy ripple out much further than we can see.
By tuning into the Source of Divine Love, we can shine as beacons of light in these trying times, and as this energy is emitted from millions of bodies all over the world, it will carry the Collective Soul to a higher vibrational level uplifting Humanity and raising us all to the crest of the wave.

**Background**
‘I love this planet’ is an initiative of Force for Good, which is supportive of
the mobilization of the deployment of capital as a force for good in the world
at a time of profound and multi-dimensional change in the world.
The Capital as a Force for Good initiative analyses and engages the world’s leading financial institutions and other stakeholders with a view to influencing and impacting sustainable development through the deployment of capital and solutions that address
the world’s greatest issues and build a better future.
However, two thirds of the world’s money begins with the individual, and much
of it in some way requires the cooperation of the individual as it flows through the world.
The individual is of course a potentially powerful ‘Force for Good’, and collectively is the most powerful force for good in the world.

**The case**
The individual is a powerful and growing force that can make the world better and facilitate change for good in every aspect of life, empowered by technology, and create
new opportunities to address everyday issues and the world’s biggest issues too.

**The individual as a consumer is the powerhouse of industry.**
Consumption represents over 70% of annual global output, nearly 80% of which is
in the hands of individuals. Their US$49 trillion of annual spending is equal to nearly 15% of the world’s total stock of total net liquid assets and represents a critical flow in funding systemic change, while recognizing that the level of discretion available on a given dollar of consumption will vary.

The individual is a digital empowered force.
With 4.0 billion unique social media users, over half the world’s population is reached by social media. The individual is already using this to change the status quo in politics and society at large, and that force will become potent as it addresses business in all aspects of its activities.

**The individual is a growing force in the flow of finance.**
Nearly 70% of the world’s population today is not fully financially included today.
Digital technology is systematically growing to reach these populations as both investors and consumers. Finance and technology are converging to provide solutions that can bring people, that were previously not considered to be credit-worthy, as active participants in the financial system.

**The individual is a force for global transformative change.**
Networked, connected, and mobilized the world’s people, poor and rich, have significant potential to disrupt the status quo socially, economically, and politically as voters, protesters, migrants or as revolutionaries if ignored and left out. And if nurtured, the individual can become a new and vibrant class of consumer, investor, and participant in the world system.

**The campaign**

‘I love this planet’ is a campaign designed to empower each of us as individuals
and groups to do good. ‘I love this planet’ aims to empower the individual and the collective power of the individual by encouraging people to make a commitment to being a force for good, and then acting on this, showcasing their initiatives no matter how big or small, to make a difference in the world for good.
In a time of so many threats, and a seemingly constant stream of bad news and negative social media, focused on issues ranging from the very personal losses inflicted by the pandemic to political and social divisions in so many countries to the existential threat to the planet from climate change, it is easy to feel disempowered.
However, these issues cannot be addressed by any one individual or group, but together a powerful change can be made.

**Actions**
We would very much like you to join the ‘I love this planet’ campaign and add your commitment and initiatives and ideas too. Ask your family, friends and organizations
to do so too as individuals and groups.
The ‘I love this planet’ campaign is simple, it asks each of you, as an individual, and as a collective group of family, friends, charity, company, country if you wish, to make a video commitment to do everything in your power to be a force for good, and to post what you are doing. The words are set to encourage a common commitment.

**The actions:**
1. Power of One. Join the campaign as an individual by making the commitment.
2. Power Together. Join the campaign as a group of your choosing.
3. Magnifier. Encourage others you know to do the same.
4. One as a Force for Good. Post your micro ‘ad’ for how you
are doing good here too as an individual.
5. Many as a Force for Good. Post your micro ‘ad’ for how you
are doing good here too as a group.
6. Sponsor and engage. Make a special request to our team to post more than the ‘micro ad’ so you can describe what you are doing to make the world better and engage our team to see if we can support that.

Each individual as a force for good, is an agent for positive change and a catalyst
for others. The collective impact is critical to the work of governments, transnational organisations and organisations to make the world better. Indeed, the empowered and positive individual may be the determining factor in a world that is rapidly moving to 10 billion people that is real time connected by technology and empowered by freedom.

**The Path Ahead**
The campaign seeks and will enlist partners and sponsors from all stakeholder groups
with ideas, initiatives, technologies and capital to empower this change.
The I love this planet campaign begins with a platform to share and will gradually expand to provide technologies that facilitate collaboration across boundaries, initiatives for participation and events to convene and exchange. It will do this with partner groups rather than invent anew.
The endeavour recognises that issues cannot be addressed, opportunity cannot be unlocked, and capital cannot flow without a positive collective individual that has peace, prosperity and freedom.

**Make the commitment**
“I love this planet and commit to doing everything
in my power as a force for good to make
the world better for all of us”

Powerful Love Brings Change. Let Your Love Flow Bravely.
It’s proven time and again that powerful love brings change in the world.
Once you act from a place of love, it benefits oneself and the world around you.
This power comes from one’s own conviction and conscience.
This love shows up unafraid and its presence brings about good changes that last forever.
A Force of Nature: Hurricanes in a Changing Climate – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet (nasa.gov)

This reminds me of the John Donne Meditation XVII

**‘No Man is an Island’**
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Today, the world faces many challenges.

Terrorism
Violence on the planet
Let Your Love Flow Bravely

Challenges that are grave. Challenges that we all must rise up to and overcome.
Sheer insanity between human beings who just cannot seem to get along with each other.
Think about this. What drives someone to destruct and destroy?
What drives someone to hurt someone else?
It’s their belief system. They are truly convinced that what they are doing is right.
This acts as a force to do such wrong actions.
There is only one way to counteract this destructive force.
Rise up with the force of love.
“She will rise. With a spine of steel and a roar like thunder, she will rise.
She is of the strangest beauty and the darkest courage, and when she walks
with intent the earth trembles beneath her feet.” ― Nicole Lyons

Love is Not Weak, “The true meaning of the term
‘samurai’ is one who serves and adheres to the power of love.”
Know that love incarnates itself as a powerful force. ― Morihei Ueshiba

Let’s see a practical example. Have you ever seen a Samurai?
Love has the ability to destroy the false for the truth to remain shining.
A samurai practices a martial art form that gives them the ability to direct their energy
in a positive way. They know that in order to protect oneself, one must use their abilities
in the right direction. They use their sword with full awareness.
It looks like an attack but they are just negating the attack by defending.
They do not fight or confront the other. They use their presence of mind and energy to cut through the negative. They let their love flow bravely. This is how love is in action. Love is not mushy and being all weak and dependent. Love is so powerful that it can in a moment destroy the negativity. “Love is the most powerful force in the world. That love can do anything.” ― Cassandra Clare

Choose love over fear. Choose action over inaction.

Love is true power.” ― Dushawn Banks
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Love
Choose to question rather than accept the false.
“If someone loves you they’ll give you the world free of charge.
If the whole world loves you, not even the richest man can compete with that.
Each one of us is a powerful source of love only if we decide to be so.

Do you believe that powerful love brings change?

Hoxsey Clinic Q&A

Posted on February 27, 2023 by Ken

Full of hopes — traveling to Tijuana, Mexico.

Tijuana, known also by the initials T.J., is a city and municipal seat of Tijuana Municipality, Baja California, located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

It is part of the San Diego-Tijuana megapolitan area.

Konstantinos Perdiou

Admin · Hello . My name is Konstantinos from Cyprus and I am the administrator and

the creator of this group. Hoxsey – The people that Cured Cancer ( Bio-Medical Center – Hoxsey Clinic) | Facebook

This group was created in 2010

When my father was diagnosed with aggressive Melanoma cancer. Our doctors gave us 6 months of life and told us that we don’t have any hope at all. We found out about Hoxsey from a friend that visited Hoxsey in 2008 and he is free of cancer until today. We visited the Hoxsey clinic in January 2010 and again in April 2010.

They gave us hope by following the diet and the most important to be positive. When my father was following the instructions of Hoxsey doctors his tumors were not getting bigger and he was stable. Unfortunately, my father wasn’t positive at all and this wasn’t helping him with the Hoxsey cure.
Two times visiting Hoxsey I met people that were FREE OF CANCER , which their doctors gave them 3 months of life before visiting Hoxsey Clinic. The only reason that I made this group is to give a chance to people that have any type of cancer that they don’t need to give up and there is hope with Hoxsey. We never advertise anything here for our use or to make profit. This group is only to help people to communicate with each other and share experiences or anything about Hoxsey. Please respect these people.

Don Palmer to Kathy Nilsson

I’m hearing that cancer feeds off of an acidic body. Is there something with this and if so, what should a person need to know of correcting this? Thanks

Kathy Nilsson Don Palmer

check out what foods are alkaline (mostly green and raw veggies) and eat more of those also drink water with lemon juice added or a bit of baking soda or chlorophyll/

to Kathy Nilsson

Thank You for the information. So your body needs to be PH balanced. Like pool water. I understand that. Thanks Don Palmer kinda-sorta. There is a formula. You can access files and download his info on the alkaline body. He’s a wealth of information. Check out Mark Hathaway http://www.biosynergypro.com/

Tenzin Kyizom Rangwang

Thanks for starting this page. I went to BioMedical – Hoxsey in 2000 and followed the diet and took the tonic for 5 years and have been cancer free. I think the diet and the tonic really work, but a key ingredient to survive cancer is to be at peace and happy. Sad, angry, fearful, troubled emotions create acidity and feed cancer. I think one of the key reasons it works for some and not others might be their state of mind. Being grateful for everything helps heal. Doing deep breaths inhaling lots of oxygen also is very healing. Going for walks in nature is very healing. Our body is amazing as to how it can heal itself, if we listen to it and give it a chance.

Guys I am considering going to HC for breast cancer but since I don’t know anyone that has been there and received their treatments. Could you please share your success story particularly with BC. Just doing some due diligence. Thanks
Lisa Marie Kaufman

Hi Lisa did your dad have a colon resection and chemo before doing Hoxsey treatment. I am 48 and have just been diagnosed with stage 3 CA . I am about to start chemo but I’m looking into Hoxsey. I am having difficulty deciding if I should pursue Hoxsey treatment alone or in conjunction with chemo. Any info you can share with me would be greatly appreciated . I have started speaking with Hoxsey clinic.

Leila Ganotisi I think if they have all your reports, scans, blood work, etc you can do it virtually now. This has been possible recently for this protocol. They may need you to travel though down the road to do some iv’s b-17 or other things. It is very safe to cross the border in Tijuana. I do missions trips down there also and cross 2-3 times a year back and forth

Sandi Berg very interesting, especially since rhabdomyosarcoma is a soft tissue cancer, aren’t soft tissues where parasites like to hide and do their voodoo? And since the white lab coat cabal can’t seem to figure out the cause of this cancer that mostly affects children, I’d try it! Also, barberry was declared as a promising cure for this cancer, barberry of course has other uses, one being a parasitic cure.

Hello, A year ago in May, I was diagnosed with Uterine Leiomyosarcoma, also a rare, aggressive cancer. Stage 4, mets to the lung. I have followed Jane’s Protocol, Hoxsey and did Chemo. I have a naturopathic doc, I live in Wisconsin. I am NED and surviving and thriving!!! DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE (I am a Christian and put my trust in God, I believe He laid out the path before me and has taken care of all of my needs, and then some) I do nothing perfect. I keep a positive attitude, I am in a win/win situation! I have a huge support network and focus on life, living each day to the fullest.I did not go to Hoxsey, but did have a meeting over the internet with them. I have to do a follow up with them soon.

Thomas R Kawal to Kathy Oechsner Rabe I have LMS also! Can you share your protocol please?

February 8 at 12:36 AM · https://youtu.be/MgVIokmgvjQMasha you did an amazing video. I am here this week at Biomedical getting the IV treatments as well. So sorry I missed you last week. Your video is amazing and so professional. I’m so blessed that you all are able to capture those stories so nicely. I think it’s gonna be great for all your friends and followers. Thank you again for promoting Bio-Medical and happy healing to your husband.

Vitamin C IV. How much, how often, how long. Getting different info…thanks for advice.
The High Dose Oral Vitamin C Protocol for Cancer and Viral Infections (chrisbeatcancer.com)
Lance Jordan try sufficient C he mentioned is really good stuff. Dermatologist Suzanne Humphries uses and recommends it also. My 8 year old likes it,

Tammy Mac

February 21, 2018 · I’ve been home for almost a week since my 6 months checkup and miraculous results.

Finally rested up and trying to answer as many emails as possible so I’ll answer here as well in case I missed anyone Lance Jordan…. Patrick and I are forever grateful. We love you dearly am not a doctor, and I am NOT giving medical advice. I’m a Stage 4 Breast Cancer patient that has seen the cancer in her bones and liver disappear and I HAVE a small inactive tumor in my left breast that’s almost gone. I only provide this information to help and encourage others to heal

#1 I follow the Hoxsey Protocol and diet very strictly. I do however eat more meat then recommended in the diet. This is my choice… not saying you should. I DO NOT eat anything that’s already made, boxed or bagged. If I don’t cook it I don’t eat it (I cheated one time in 6 months with a white pizza)

#2 I take cannabis oil, no pain pills Liposomal Vitamin C- recommended dose is 2000mg per day. I take over 20,000. My choice, again not recommending you do it. Vitamin D3-25,000 per day. I also take 32 other supplements.#

3 I juice 2-3 days out of the week. I make a large pitcher with broccoli, carrots, beets and an apple. Drink small 8 ounce glasses through the day

#4 I was doing coffee enemas twice a day. I can say I felt better afterwards and had more energy. I have stopped them for a while as I’ve learned more about them and possible dangers. You have to decide if it’s right for you

#5 No western quackery! No chemo, no radiation I take Ibrance and letrozole, hormone blockers doctors at Hoxsey agree I should take it to give Hoxsey time to work

#6 Rest. rest. rest. I sit in my hot tub for one every hour in the morning and take a two-hour nap after lunch before my husband gets home. You don’t realize how important rest is. If your tired, don’t feel guilty, take a nap

#7 Adopt a dog! I adopted a homeless dog, he gave me the desire to go forward, taking care of him took the focus off me and he forces me to get off the couch and outside. He will NOT let me out of his sight. I believe animals know if someone’s “sick”. I needed him as much as he needed me

#8 Exercise…. I used to be in such great shape but years of working late, alcohol, and little sleep took its toll. Since starting the diet and improving my health I’ve lost 60 pounds so far….and the weight is still coming off. I haven’t felt this good in years. I walk around my neighborhood, and I dance like no one’s watching in public because who cares really… I’m alive! I also lift light weights as the bone cancer starts eating into the muscle

#9 You must find peace and forgiveness with everyone. Whether they deserve it or not. Because YOU deserve to have your heart and mind at peace. I have resolved differences with my three sisters. My ex-husband and his family have supported me and it’s nice to have Anthony back in my life. Cut out toxic people, tell them you don’t want to hear their negativity. I’m not all “love and light” but I got 99 problems and yours isn’t one of them!!!!

#10 Stay calm and stress free. JUST FORGET YOU HAVE CANCER! We are all different in so many ways and we all heal differently but….We are all God’s children, and we must follow the path he’s chosen for us. Hoxsey – The people that Cured Cancer ( Bio-Medical Center – Hoxsey Clinic) | FacebookI wish everyone a blessed day. Tammy McClure

Thank you so much for your post. I am a breast cancer survivor and recently started the tonic to stay in remission. My Oncologist told me to get off of the tonic right away, because of the red clover. He was concerned about it causing estrogen-like effects. Do you know anything about this?

Contact Robin Willis. I’m sorry I can’t help more.

Robin Willis (Bio-Medical Center – Hoxsey Clinic) | Facebook

Lance Jordan

Red Clover on its own does increase estrogen but another ingredient in the formula does cancel that out, I can’t remember which ingredient it is. Regardless, it is always advised to utilize a hormone blocker with Estrogen driven breast cancer. Remember that stress increases Cortisol which increases Estrogen. Reducing your stress level is more important than worrying about the red clover in the Hoxsey Tonic.Hoxsey has been healing from breast cancer since the 1950’s. I met so many women that healed their breast cancer using Hoxsey Tonic back in the 90’s, 80’s and 70’s and back then they weren’t aware of ER+, PR+. HER2+ Triple Negative, etc. but they healed. I feel the over categorization of breast cancer is causing the very stress that is causing the issue. I feel that taking a hormone blocker will only help but they were healing the same cancers for decades without even knowing the hormone issue. Just my observation. Watch funny movies, be at peace and be well.6

Chelsy Leigh I asked this question about the red clover because it concerned me as well. Dr. Heidi said the amount of red clover used is too small to affect estrogen. She said the studies that looked at red clover’s effect on estrogen were using huge amounts of red clover. The red clover in Hoxsey works synergistically with hormone blockers and the other ingredients in the tonic, so it’s basically nothing to worry about.2

Tenzin Kyizom Rangwang I have been cancer free. I think the diet and the tonic really work, but a key ingredient to survive cancer is to be at peace and happy. Sad, angry, fearful, troubled emotions create acidity and feed cancer. I think one of the key reasons it works for some and not others might be their state of mind. Being grateful for everything helps heal. Doing deep breaths inhaling lots of oxygen also is very healing. Going for walks in nature is very healing. Our body is amazing as to how it can heal itself, if we listen to it and give it a chance. Thanks for starting this page. I went to BioMedical – Hoxsey in 2000 and followed and took the tonic for 5 years and

Yiota Pittali-PerdiouAdminthis group was done by the admins so all people can share their feelings and all about Hoxsey cure!!! It was done for all those looking for hope in life!

October 6, 2022 · Hello. I’ve just been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, which is supposed to be a rare and aggressive cancer. Has anyone had success using the Hoxsey or any other treatment?I have to get images done to see where I’m at, but they already said they will want to do radiation, surgery and chemo. From what I’ve researched on other groups, chemo/radiation seems like a quick fix, but seems to make it worse and it just comes back and makes you suffer. My instincts are really telling me that the poison is not the way. I’m even unsure about the surgery, though I’m more open to considering it. I’m currently fasting to shrink it, am following Jane Mclelland’s protocol of supplements to starve the cancers metabolism and have an appointment with Care Oncology to take their protocol which will take it further. I also plan to do mistletoe and high dose vitamin C IV.This cancer is so rare, I haven’t seen any success stories yet and not one person has tried the natural route. Part of me wonders if it’s the chemo that destroys the body and prevents real healing. I may consider it and fast first for a better outcome. But they said they want me to do high-dose chemo + 6 weeks of radiation and that does not sound like a good idea to me.I am determined to survive and would love to hear from Rhabdomyosarcoma or sarcoma survivors in general.
My dad had stage 3 colon cancer. He had great success after his surgery which the dr in Mexico advised having. When you go you will hear many success stories of healing. A wonderful experience. He has been on this journey for 7 years now but still alive and thriving. He dove off this path for a bit and the cancer started spreading so he has since done radiation. He has complications from that now. God will give you a path

Doris Endlich My mother went to Hoxsey 31 years ago with breast cancer. She is still cancer free and is 87 years old. Dr thought we were crazy in the USA for going .. She did NO chemo or radiation

On Thanksgiving Day November 25, And the last 2 weeks of December from December 19 thru January 2. 2023 for Clinic vacation.We had our bottles opened and spilled all over our luggage by airport staff. There is a shipping store in San Diego that packages in bottle boxes and gets them to you quickly.

I am not sure if this is the exact one. There were many drivers that picked up from the hotel and they took us to the correct postal annex. 3960 W Point Loma Blvd Ste H. San Diego, CA 92110-5643 Whichever store it was, was super familiar with shipping for Hoxsey.

Lisa Marie Kaufman can you recommend a hotel in San Ysidro?

Leila Ganotisi yes, Best Western Americana Inn San Ysidro – Search (bing.com) 619-428-5521.
San Ysidro Best Western Americana is not near clean nor are they cheap and they charge you motel + $30 to clinic and from clinic unless you stay at the motel to charge you less … I hear lots of Americans stay in Ensenada and Rosarito. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
The medical van driver Lance Jordan will pick you up there and bring you back. Cost is around 120.00 round trip for two people. You will spend most of the day at the clinic. Very safe, they do it all day and many people go daily. 0r His name is Alex and will set it up for you. 619-829-5354What hotels offer discounts in San Diego to get to Hoxsey. The Wyndham Garden in San Diego wants 1,000 for 6 days!!

Teresa Washburn Stay at clinic hotel so you can eat diet and save money.
Luciana Filippelli McCartney We stay at Lucerna in Tijuana. We love it.

They take us to the clinic for free and give Hoxsey patients a discount.
We paid $99 a night. It is very beautiful, and they have amazing restaurants on site. The drivers will help you go anywhere you want. /They will also arrange pick up from San Diego airport and back. There should be a link to the hotel on The BMC page. Travel Information | Hoxsey (hoxseybiomedical.com)

Cindy Leonhardt We stayed in a Hotel in San Ysidro. $60.00. There was public transportation everywhere in San Diego. We even spent a day in Coronado Island. Bus fare is $5.00 a day for anywhere u want to go. We crossed the Border into Mexico walking and got a $3.00 Uber to the Clinic. Super Easy. We did not bring my friend’s husband who had Cancer because he was too weak and too ill to travel.

Tammy Mac You will hear lots of suggestions…. choose what works best for you i.e.: convenience, walking, border crossing traffic. The first time I was taken to the Clinic by Lance Jordan. Quick ride there but a few hours in border traffic on the way back. This last time I rented a car at the Alamo airport, Alamo $23 a day.
I Stayed at Best Western Seven Seas San Diego on a hotel circle, 5 minutes from the airport. It was $88 a night. I found the room perfectly clean and would stay there again. There are 20 or so hotels all next to each other so why pay double for the Marriott next door. They are all situated on the same road, same view. Drove to a parking lot in San Ysidro. $8 all day. Took less than 5 minutes to go through the border check and enter Mexico.

Cabs waiting right there $5 to the clinic. I brought scans and blood work with me so I was done by 11:30 both times. Clinic called a cab into town. I ate lunch at the famous Cesar’s and shopped for a few hours, crossing back took about 20 minutes in line. You could see the line of cars forever waiting to cross. If you’re taking an older person or someone that has difficulty walking this may not be a good option.
Hello! Has anyone had experience staying at Porto Vista Hotel in Little Italy San Diego? I stayed there in December last year. The place was fine and there was a ton of stuff to do in little italy.Most of the other hotels I tried are already booked for the dates I need. (The Porta Vista is available but reservations are non-refundable).

Thank you in advance!

March 3, 2019 · In preparation for our visit to the clinic this week, I contacted Café Gratitude to ask some questions about their menu items. Café Gratitude is a vegan restaurant close to the Porto Vista Hotel and comes highly recommended by Lance Jordan and other Hoxsey patients. Kelli Aspenleiter is the assistant general manager and was thoughtful enough to provide the following link, which lists every single ingredient of every menu item. https://static1.squarespace.com/…/CG+BOK+AW18+190207.pdf
She further confirmed that they only use Himalayan pink salt, but some items can be ordered without any salt at all. The tamari listed in some of the menu items IS alcohol-based, but the vanilla listed is not. They use powdered vanilla bean at the restaurant, not vanilla extract. Thanks, Kelli! I’m so excited to visit the restaurant and check things out!

Andrea GlassI always stay at the Urban Boutique and little Italy – San Diego. I’ve had a very good experience there, very local right in the middle of the little Italy piazza area. Porto Vista is probably gonna be fine but I have never stayed there. Have a blessed time

Lilly Prodi

I’ve literally walked through the door from the clinic … I prefer convenience over seating in traffic an hour, each direction crossing border so I stay at the clinic apartment ($60 double beds for two) which is very clean and no smells of clinic chemicals… or Lucerne Hotel in Tijuana ($80-$120 w/clinic discount) which includes FREE rides to clinic and pickup

Bless you for all your Tireless Work for Everyone willing to be open to True Healing 🙏📿

CANCER IS A WORD NOT A SENTENCE. The AMA, CDC, ACS and just about every oncologist in the USA will tell you the only way to cure cancer is with Chemo, Radiation and surgery. THAT’S NOT TRUE.I have spoken to hundreds of people that have healed their bodies of cancer without chemo & radiation and not one oncologist has ever been curious as to how their rogue patient accomplished this feat without their help. Like so many things follow the money. It’s not that the doctors are lying or that they don’t believe what they say. But their information comes from higher up and they believe it, and they want you to believe it. Makes you wonder what else they tell you that they want so badly for you to believe.
