World’s 11 most powerful natural antibiotics that won’t kill your good gut bacteria

February 24, 2023

February 14, 2023 – The main reason the majority of Americans do not believe in taking supplements and natural herbs regularly hinges on their faith in their medical doctor’s advice, whose learning comes from colleges funded by Big Pharma, that made sure nutrition education was removed from “medicine” curriculum almost entirely, over a century ago. It’s all part of the Hidden History of Medicine, in a free download from Natural News.

Yet, your first line of defense against infections and illnesses is boosting your own immune system with natural remedies and indigenous cures. People need to stay on their game at all times and super-boost their immune system with Mother Nature’s gifts. You see, medical doctors don’t make any money if you stay healthy, for the most part, or even if you get sick, and then take natural antibiotics for healing, since they’re not patentable and they don’t make you sicker by just covering up symptoms, like prescription medications do. There’s the rub.

The worst part about prescription antibiotics is they kill your good gut bacteria, known as flora. Your gut is a very balanced microbiome, if you eat clean food mostly and supplement, where the good gut bacteria consists of about 85%, and the bad bacteria at around 15%. When a medical doctor’s patient takes antibiotics, it ALL gets wiped out. If the patient happens to be suffering from a viral infection instead, the doctor just sets up the patient for a very dangerous outcome, by decimating the immune system’s biological “seat.”

That’s why it’s important to stock up on natural remedies and natural antibiotics. They are not expensive, especially compared to medical bills (and getting sicker from not healing in the first place). Plus, they are preventative medicine to keep you from getting sick in the first place.

Here are the world’s 11 most powerful natural antibiotics that medical doctors are never allowed to discuss as treatment or preventative medicine

#1. Garlic

#2. Apple cider vinegar

#3. Ginger

#4. Horseradish root

#5. Onion

#6. Habanero peppers

#7. Oregano oil

#8. Turmeric

#9. Echinacea (Herb)

#10. Raw honey

#11. Colloidal Silver

Garlic cloves are easy to find and amazing for the human immune system, and they serve as an antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal agent. Garlic contains a compound called allicin that’s a potent antibiotic that was used by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks and ancient Chinese to combat sicknesses, including the common cold. Allicin is released when the garlic cloves are crushed or chewed.

Colloidal silver is even more effective than traditional antibiotics, and that’s why Big Pharma has viciously attacked it, saying it turns people silver (some guy drank whole bottles of it all day once). Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks used silver over a millennium ago for various illnesses and to fight infections, and it doesn’t harm your liver or kidneys, like prescription antibiotics can.

Ever heard of superbugs? They are infections people often get in hospitals when they have open wounds and hygiene leaves something to be desired. Apple cider vinegar, also known as ACV, eradicates methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (staph infection) and resistant Escherichia coli (E-coli). These are infections that can spread rapidly and kill people. Often times, medical doctors sling antibiotics at them, which can add to the high morbidity rates.

ACV penetrates microbial cell membranes, significantly reducing their ability to spread and infect the human body. ACV is made from alcoholic fermentation of apples, sugar, and yeast, and the acetic acid has potent antimicrobial properties (according to scientific studies published by NIH) and high potency for defeating antibiotic-resistant microbes. That’s why Big Pharma will NOT tell you about ACV when you’re in the hospital dying from superbug infections. Can you say allopathic population control without coughing into your Covid mask?

Oil of oregano is one of nature’s most powerful medicines. One of the most potent remedies in the world, oregano oil beats down viruses and knocks back allergies to pollen. Produced from the perennial herb oregano, the oil is loaded with antioxidants that annihilate the free radicals that cause cancer. Pharmaceutical companies wish they could patent it.

Surprise” release and expelling to the US of 222 Nicaraguan opponents

February 10, 2023

With reports by BBC News World and other cables

The release of the political prisoners was well received by human rights organizations, which celebrated the release of 200 political prisoners without sparing criticism of Managua.

In the United States, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a statement that this decision “marks a constructive step to address human rights abuses in the country and opens the door for greater dialogue between the US and the US. and Nicaragua on topics of interest”.

The president of the Central American country, Daniel Ortega, assured on national television that there was no “negotiation” with the US for the release of the prisoners and that they did not ask Washington for anything in return.

On Thursday morning, magistrate Octavio Rothschuh, president of Chamber One of the Managua Court of Appeals, had made public a sentence that decreed the “immediate and effective deportation of 222 people sentenced for committing acts that undermine the independence, the sovereignty and self-determination of the people; for inciting violence, terrorism and economic destabilization”.

“The deportees were declared traitors to the homeland and punished for different serious crimes and permanently disqualified from exercising public office,” Rothschuh said.

The flight with the opponents left the Nicaraguan capital early in the morning for Washington DC, where it arrived at mid-morning.

The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, spoke on national television to ensure that the release and expulsion of the 222 opponents that took place this Thursday was not done to obtain something in return from the United States.

“We are not asking for the sanctions to be lifted. We are not asking for anything in return,” the president said.

Ortega explained that the expulsion of the opposition group to Washington occurred after his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, spoke a few days ago by phone with the US ambassador in Managua, Kevin Sullivan, before a trip to his country, and He suggested that Washington receive the prisoners.

The president acknowledged that he did not expect a positive response from the United States to the request. However, Sullivan replied that he would consult the White House, but not before asking how many prisoners he intended to release.

“Everyone,” Ortega replied. “We do not want any trace of the empire’s mercenaries to remain in our country,” he added, according to information from the EFE news agency.

The individuals released from Nicaraguan custody include political and business leaders, journalists, civil society representatives, and students.

Writer Gioconda Belli, who was a guerrilla and revolutionary before becoming a staunch opponent of the government of Daniel Ortega, said: “Taking away their nationality and invoking exile for freed Nicaraguans is a display of cruelty…” during a interview from Spain, who said she was surprised by the news, and that she had to verify several times that the release this Thursday of 222 opponents from her country was real.

David Broza releases ‘La Mujer Que Yo Quiero’, an all-new album

February 10, 2023

by Araceli Martínez

Internationally renowned Israeli singer-songwriter David Broza, recognized for his dynamic guitar playing and humanitarian efforts, released on January 27, La Mujer Que Yo Quiero, the Spanish version of the epic album Ha’isha She’iti, released to the public. 40 years ago, and which has been the best-selling album in Israel’s recording history.

The idea of La Mujer Que Yo Quiero was to make emotional versions of the songs with only voice and guitar. The work was a strong process; and it is reported that during the recording, Broza sang for eight hours, barely stopping for coffee.

“Only after the session was over did I realize that I had immersed myself in the songs with all my body and soul. It was so intense that it took me several days to relax,” says Broza.

The result is a stark and pure performance, in a live recording of Ha’isha She’iti’s songs, now sung in Spanish.

The original album was a tribute to popular music in Spanish in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

The new album La Mujer que yo Quiero brings music back to its roots, with songs performed in Spanish just as they were originally written.

40 years ago, the songs of Ha’isha She’iti were meticulously translated into Hebrew by the great Israeli poet Jonathan Geffen, with a fluency that made them seem originally written in Hebrew, so much so that few people remember that the songs originated in Spain. .

During the last few years, Broza performed the songs live, mixing the Spanish lyrics with the Hebrew ones. This aroused in Broza the idea of recording a version completely in Spanish on the occasion of the album’s 40th anniversary.

With that in mind, in October 2022, Broza traveled to Madrid, Spain, and recorded the album in one take, during one day, meanwhile the preparation took more than a month, with rehearsals for long hours.

In total, nine songs made up the entire album. Only one song from the Ha’isha She’iti, “Rumba”, written by Broza with Geffen, was originally sung in Hebrew.

“Rumba” was replaced on La Mujer Que Yo Quiero by “La Más Bella Niña,” another translated song that was not part of the Ha’isha She’iti. The theme is a poem from Spain in the 16th century by Luis de Góngoras, with a melody by the musician Paco Ibañez.

“La Más Bella Niña” was the first song that Jonathan Geffen translated into Hebrew and the song that started this project more than 40 years ago.

Broza’s signature sound brings together songs in Hebrew, Spanish, and English, influenced by Spanish flamenco, American folk, rock and roll, and poetry.

Advocacy for social justice and peace are embedded in his musical work, and his 1977 hit song “Yihye Tov” remains an Israeli peace anthem.

He has more than 40 albums released, many of which are multi-platinum. Broza’s travels have contributed to his international sound and his commitment to human connection, storytelling and equality.

The singer-songwriter’s charismatic, vibrant and passionate energy is far-reaching and has a global impact. If you want to know more about Broza, visit his website: www.davidbroza.net

Vision experts warn of dangers of excessive screen time

February 10, 2023

by Suzanne Potter

California News Service

Americans spend almost 13 hours a day using digital devices, and experts said it has the potential to strain your eyes and lead to serious health problems down the road.

Blue light comes from the sun but also from digital screens, and some medical professionals say too much of it can lead to scratchy or itchy eyes, tearing up, problems focusing, and headaches.

Dr. Scott Edmonds, chief eye care officer for UnitedHealthcare Vision, recommended the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen at something 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds.

“It takes you away from the blue light, so your retina can recycle,” Edmonds explained. “It also takes the strain off your convergence muscles, the muscles that turn your eyes in to keep them focused on the screen. When you look at 20 feet, your focus goes to rest, your converging muscles go to their resting point, and you get 20 seconds away from the blue light.”

He also recommended adults, starting in their 20s, should get a baseline eye exam, so they can measure changes in the future. Ultraviolet light is damaging to the retina and over time and is thought to contribute to age-related macular degeneration.

Edmonds added experts are concerned blue light may be just as damaging.

“Blue, we always thought, was safe because it’s visible,” Edmonds acknowledged. “It may also be causative because it’s so high energy and because these new sources admit such high levels of the blue light.”

Dr. Raj Maturi, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, advised frequent breaks from the screen and turning them off well before bedtime to improve sleep.

“We get tired, our brain is not trying to slow down, and we don’t sleep well,” Maturi pointed out. “An excess amount of blue light at night can also decrease the amount of melatonin that our body produces, and therefore affect how quickly and how easily we fall asleep.”

CA ‘Just Safe’ campaign aims to redefine public safety

Social justice advocates have just launched a new public education campaign. It’s called “Just Safe,” and it’s aimed at changing the conversation about crime, especially in the wake of the recent mass shootings.

The group Californians for Safety and Justice has released a commercial, narrated by actress Jennifer Lewis, making the point that safety isn’t just the absence of crime – it is the presence of well-being.

The group’s executive director, Tinisch Hollins, said these shootings and others plague a society that neglects mental health.

“So, the goal of this is to invite conversation about doubling down on investments that lead to well-being,” said Hollins, “like mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, education.”

The campaign applauds efforts to heal communities, such as the announcement last week from the California Victims Compensation board of a $2.5 million grant to open three new trauma recovery center offices in Stockton and Bakersfield.

The state’s 19 trauma recovery centers offer mental health treatment, help with medical expenses, and support groups for victims of violent crime.

While accountability is important for people involved with the justice system, Hollins said she agrees with the state’s efforts in recent years to prioritize rehabilitation over punishment. She called post-incarceration programs that help people re-enter society “a wise investment.”

“Removing barriers, making sure that they have the resources they need when they return home,” said Hollins, “keeps us all safe, prevents more crime from happening, and helps our economy, because we have more folks to be able to play a role.”

She noted that right now, people who’ve paid their debt to society often fail to recover when they face huge obstacles to finding employment and housing, and must comply with onerous legal requirements.

Congress is set to expose what may be the largest censorship system in U.S. history

February 10, 2023

by News Editors

February 07, 2023 – Below is my column in the Hill on the first hearings this week to be held by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. It could be one of the most consequential investigations for free speech in decades if it pulls back the curtain on government censorship programs. After the historic release of the Twitter Files by Elon Musk, questions remain on any similar coordination with other social media companies with federal agencies like the FBI to target views considered “disinformation” or “misinformation.”

(Article by Jonathan Turley republished from JonathanTurley.org)

Here is the column:

This coming week a new House select subcommittee will hold its first hearing on the FBI and the possible “weaponization” of government agencies. A variety of such controversies have contributed to plunging public trust in government and the FBI in particular.

The role of the FBI in prior scandals will remain a point of heated debate in Congress. However, members of both parties should be able to agree on the need to investigate one of the most serious allegations: Censorship by surrogate.

Many of the allegations of FBI bias are worthy of investigation. Some of those allegations are problems of personnel who can be removed. But a far more menacing problem has emerged in recent months with the release of information from Twitter.

The “Twitter files” revealed an FBI operation to monitor and censor social media content — an effort so overwhelming and intrusive that Twitter staff at one point complained internally that “they are probing & pushing everywhere.” The reports have indicated that dozens of FBI employees worked on the identification and removal of material on a wide range of subjects and that Twitter largely carried out their requests.

Nor was it just the FBI, apparently. Emails reveal FBI figures like a San Francisco assistant special agent in charge asking Twitter executives to “invite an OGA” (or “Other Government Organization”) to an upcoming meeting. A week later, Stacia Cardille, a senior Twitter legal executive, indicated the OGA was the CIA, an agency under strict limits regarding domestic activities.

Twitter’s own ranks included dozens of ex-FBI agents and executives, including James Baker, who featured greatly in prior FBI instances of alleged bias.

The Twitter files also show various FBI offices monitoring social media and flagging “misleading” information on various subjects.

The dozens of disclosed emails are only a fraction of Twitter’s files and do not include still-undisclosed but apparent government coordination with Facebook and other social media companies. Much of that work apparently was done through the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), which operated secretly it seems to censor citizens.

Ironically, during the outcry over establishing a Disinformation Governance Board at the Department of Homeland Security, Biden administration officials had to have known they already were employing an extensive censorship system. When the administration finally relented and disbanded the disinformation board, that censorship work appears to have continued unimpeded through the FITF and agency censors.

According to reports, one email in August 2022 sent “long lists of newspapers, tweets or YouTube videos” deemed to be voicing “anti-Ukraine narratives.” Even satirical and comedy sites reportedly were pegged by the social media police.

What is most striking is that the FBI was not responding to false claims about its operations. Instead, these censorship demands were the result of policing “misinformation” and “disinformation” on subjects ranging from political corruption to elections.

Some apologists continue to defend this process, saying the FBI was only objecting to disinformation the way that citizens did on Twitter. That is not true; the government reportedly used back channels and regular meetings to flag unacceptable statements. Indeed, even if it were true, many things are more dangerous when done by government. When your neighbor attacks your opinion, it is just the crank next door. But when it is your government on the attack, it is far more threatening and stigmatizing. Natural News.

Beetroot juice found to “significantly increase muscle force during exercise”

February 10, 2023

by Ethan Huff

01/27/2023 – New research published in the journal Acta Physiologica has identified beetroot juice as a powerful workout-boosting food that “significantly increases muscle force during exercise.”

Researchers from the United States and the United Kingdom teamed up to test the effects of beetroot juice on a group of healthy men in their early 20s. The men were given 4.7 ounces of the nitrate-rich beverage before working out and examined for muscle improvement.

In the three days prior to the experiment, the men were told to consume a low-nitrate diet, including by avoiding the consumption of leafy green vegetables. There was also a placebo group given a dummy powder that looked and tasted like the beetroot juice cocktail, but that was devoid of nitrates.

Neither group knew which beverage they consumed before they completed a single exercise three hours after a warmup. All of the men were told to contract their quadricep muscle – the large one at the front of the upper leg – 60 times while their dominant leg was attached to the lever of a machine.

The goal was to have the men contract this muscle without actually moving their leg. While this was happening, researchers used electrical pulses to measure muscle force, or the force applied by the muscles as they contracted.

Muscle biopsies were collected from the participants’ active legs after they consumed the drink, as well as before and after the exercise to check nitrate levels in their tissue.

In the end, the beetroot juice group showed seven percent greater muscle force than the placebo group, demonstrating the power of beetroot juice and the nitrates it contains to maximize muscle force.

“This study provides the first direct evidence that muscle nitrate levels are important for exercise performance, presumably by acting as a source of nitric oxide,” said Dr. Barbara Piknova, a staff scientist at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in the US.

“These results have significant implications not only for the exercise field, but possibly for other medical areas such as those targeting neuromuscular and metabolic diseases related to nitric oxide deficiency.”

Naturally occurring nitrates are important for muscle development, cellular energy function

Nitrates play an important role in musculature, helping them to respire, or release energy. They also power the mitochondria, or the energy factories in cells, helping to boost energy availability for contractions.

“Our research has already provided a large body of evidence on the performance-enhancing properties of dietary nitrate, commonly found in beetroot juice,” added Dr. Andy Jones, a physiologist at the University of Exeter in the UK.

“Excitingly, this latest study provides the best evidence to date on the mechanisms behind why dietary nitrate improves human muscle performance.”

Other foods besides beetroot that contain high levels of nitrates include spinach, Bok choy, lettuce, carrots, ham, and bacon.

“Be careful as beets are very high in oxalate – especially if you have any existing health issues,” noted one commenter, emphasizing that people need to take caution here.

“The tests were actually conducted using a synthetic drink, not actually beetroot juice – but the findings are still relevant,” noted another.

“I’m sipping on a beet smoothie right now!” wrote someone else. “It is one beet, juice from one lemon, one cup of strawberries, one avocado, and a tiny bit of ginger. I can barely taste the beets!”

Another wrote that beetroot also contains a hemoglobin-mimicking compound that helps further transport oxygen in the blood as well, enhancing its delivery throughout the body and into cells.

Surprise” release and expelling to the US of 222 Nicaraguan opponents

February 10, 2023
