Researchers have found a group of neurons that seem tuned to respond specifically to the faces of those you know.

Brought to you by Penguin. Narrated by James Nestor.

There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo, Brazil. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.

Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.

You will never breathe the same again.

This soundscape was recorded at dusk in an old disused quarry just outside Lérouville. The light flute tones we hear are Common Midwife Toads that had just began calling. We also hear birds singing from the surrounding trees, as well as the occasional call of Parsley Frogs in the distance.

Epert in nutritional research

 

In a study in the 70s, she found no evidence dietary fat is harmful. 

 

Found more health incidents and mortality when PUFAs were substituted for saturated fats.

 

Found that dietary interventions had no positive influence and quite likely evidence of harm.  They are not evidence-based.

 

With protein norm at 15%. a maximum of 30% dietary fat means carbohydrates will be 55%.

 

Harder now to uncover author and sponsorship conflict of interests.

 

Relentless campaigns now against meat and dairy.  But no evidence there.  Do they want us sick?

 

Eat Real Food.

 

Potato is a real food but not a high nutrient food.  Will the starch mess you up?  Not if you’re metabolically healthy.  Could cause oxalate issues. 

 

Real food doesn’t put fat and carbohydrate together in one package, except for nuts.  But people find the combo irresistible, and food manufacturers take advantage.

 

If you’re feeling well, don’t go near a doctor and don’t test.

 

Don’t have overwhelming evidence that processed foods are bad.

 

Difference between sugar in fruit and packaged sugar?  None.  Body doesn’t know where the glucose/fructose/sucrose molecule came from.

 

Five A Day Fruits and Vegetables is a complete fairy tale.

 

What does sugar do in the body?  We have 4 grams of glucose in our bloodstream at all times.  After consuming sugar, insulin gets released to get glucose out of the blood, fructose goes to the liver.

 

Too much fructose causes NAFLD, too much glucose causes diabetes.

 

Hyperinsulinemia – high insulin state as a response to habitually too much sugar.  Too much sugar smashes body’s delicate mechanism for glucose control. 

 

Need a new paradigm on cholesterol.  Statins are not the answer.

 

Dairy – Zoë personally eats a lot of it. 

 

We don’t need fiber.  Carbohydrates are not an essential need.  Fiber is a subset of carbohydrates and therefore not needed.  Can it be a benefit?  No trial evidence that says it’s any good.  Population studies show people who eat fiber tend to be healthier, but they don’t prove it’s the fiber that is causing the health benefit.

 

Cereal companies want you to think fiber is needed.

 

Eggs are really good.  The yolk has the nutrients.

 

Main sugar in rice is glucose.  Average serving has 100 grams carbohydrate.

 

Overeating high carb sources can cause blood glucose to drop below 4 gm because of insulin response, causing hypoglycemia.  Want blood glucose to be even.

 

With a habitual keto or carnivore diet, the body runs on fats.  Fat is the fuel we don’t run out of.

 

If eating high meat, do you need extra fat?  No, eat the food as it comes.  Eat the fat on the meat, don’t add more.  Don’t add butter to the steak if trying to lose weight.  Burn the body’s fat, not dietary fat.

 

Mixing fat and carbs is the best way to add weight.

 

Studies showing association between red meat and heart disease are population studies showing association between heart disease and affluence.

 

Why don’t dairy and meat industries defend themselves?

 

Is honey a good food?  It’s just sugar with water.  Good for wounds.

 

Berries are the best fruit.

Their book: The Nature of Reality; It’s Stranger Than You Think

 

How to determine what is or isn’t fake news regarding health?

 

Looked at original papers, books in libraries, multiple sources, rather than the censored internet.

 

Dr. Stefan Lanka trained as a virologist.  Perfect candidate to tear virology apart. 

 

Tenet of Lester/Parker book that there no viruses is accepted by well-respected researchers.

 

Must read the methodology to understand the validity of research papers.

 

Sources coming up with more charades to hide that there is no virus.  Want to keep people in fear.

 

There never was a COVID disease.  No one died from COVID.

 

Symptoms and illness were given a false label.  What are they ill from?  Not germs.  Toxic substances, poor nutrition?

 

Historically, corporations and US Army caught spraying toxic stuff on the populace.

 

Dr. Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR test, said it shouldn’t be used to prove an illness.

 

British government banned autopsies on people who supposedly died from COVID.

 

No excess deaths during the “pandemic”.  UK April 2020 2 week death peak explained by use of ventilators and high dose hydroxychloroquine.

 

Propaganda that hospitals were full and overrun.  Fear can also manifest as a disease.

 

Quantum physicist said: There’s no out there out there.

 

You can create a reality and interact with it, e.g. when you’re dreaming, that’s solid and separate to you.

 

Are dreams just the day’s debris?  Or their own reality?

 

Are we here to learn who we are and what our reality is?

 

Energy attributed as the basis of all creation.  But we don’t know what energy really is.

 

E = MC2 is telling you how much energy is required to give the appearance of matter.

 

People don’t understand the nature of reality until they realize matter, energy, and consciousness are the same thing.

 

Reality is an expression of consciousness.

 

Healing is changing your consciousness.  Demonstrated with placebo and nocebo effects.
