Terrible sickness this winter that wasn’t the flu? Possible Corona already happened? Coverups?

Hey Warriors.  I bet you’re about as sick of hearing about the coronavirus as I am about talking about it LOL.
This has been a strange past couple of weeks I will admit, It’s hard not to get caught up in all the media, fear and disappointments.I hope you all caught my blog two weeks ago, when I talked about what all disease begins with.  It really does explain how infections and diseases begin and work, so I encourage you to take a look if you missed it.

This week I’m going to talk about some research involving the corona virus, what the science is proving, what the media isn’t telling, and why this shutdown is being based on some pretty flawed science. 

First of all.
I’ve had a LOT of patients come to me this past couple weeks, and mention to me that they believe they already had the coronavirus. This past November/December so many, myself included got very very sick.  Many doctors said this past winter’s “flu season”, wasn’t the flu.  Many went to their doctors and got tested for the flu, but it came back negative.  I myself even stated, that it was a very weird virus going around, and heard from many other doctors they didn’t know what it was but it wasn’t the “normal”.  In December, I had a fever for 4 days straight, cough and fatigue.  All the same symptoms of current COVID19.  I stayed home until I was better and healed. (about 1.5 weeks).

It seems likely this has already swept through many people and they have come out the other side fine and with actual immunity. The coughs are definitely worse this winter and are lasting longer (those that don’t use natural options), but I believe it is quite possible that something went around, not the flu that is possible coronavirus has been here the whole time.  We will never know how many people are positive for it, and have the antibodies for it because they are not symptomatic.

They say about 14,000 people travel between the US and CHINA every day.
It also seems quite possible as so many people were traveling around that time, during the holidays and what not that it spread. How could it not have spread?  

_________

I also want to discus an article that just came out from the Chief Scientific Advisor in the UK (all he does is study infections) Sir Patrick Vallance said about perhaps letting the country catch the virus, and quarantining the people who are at risk:
“Let the elderly quarantine (self quarantine), let people go to school and work and hope that our society gains about 60% coverage to protect the country and protect the risk groups in the end creating herd immunity: preventing an annual crisis.
He states this because slowly exposing over time:
We don’t want everyone to get it in a short period of time and overwhelm the health care services.
Overwhelming the hospitals currently is the panic from very sick people, just having a cold but want to be tested for coronavirus. 
If you have cold symptoms JUST STAY HOME.  That is what is overwhelming, the inappropriate use.

This article unfortunately got a TON of backlash, the idea of “herd immunity.”  The UK does not vaccinate for chicken pox, which is why they probably don’t have the shingles issue we do in the US.

So many backlash people are saying “herd immunity” is a scientific concept.  Choosing when and where they get to use this, all of a sudden herd immunity doesn’t matter now, when the vaccine laws use all this taking people’s rights away, Senator Pan being a huge component.

The chief advisor is not mentioning anything about a vaccination. He stated: “If you clamp down too hard, and suppress this too hard, when you release it, it could bounce back at the wrong time.  It’s a MILD illness, bringing immunity and reducing the transmission is key.”

It’s eye catching, to cancel these big gatherings, but it’s not stopping the transmission.  You’re more likely to get it in smaller circumstances.  It’s not actually having a big effect on transmission.
He said the most important is self quarantine of the elderly.”

—-

Everybody is now seeing the number of cases going up, but remember they JUST started testing.  It doesn’t mean it’s spreading, it means we just are knowing now.  I think it’s already been going around the past few months.
Checking the immunity in certain populations to collect data to know to what degree the government needs to shut things down, rather than just shut down everything everywhere seems like a better plan.

Let’s talk about China’s Data:
China’s data: only about 3% of the population(areas exposed) got it ( WENT TO SEEK TREATMENT).  Out of that 3% only 2% died from it and only .2%  between the ages of (0-50) died from it!  This means probably a lot of people caught it, and NEVER got symptoms. I’m sure we will learn more as this goes forward.

Saying this for the US that millions will get it or die, is just mathematically wrong.
Currently, 90% of the people they are testing for coronavirus are negative as well (THIS IS THE HUGE HOSPITAL OVERBURDEN). They are only testing people expected to be exposed.  It is not spreading like wildfire. 

The chief advisor also stated:
You can’t outrun this.  It might not be there in a peak, but it is going to be here.  The length of time we spend in a shutdown, will lessen the peak in the hospitals, but when we all come out of hiding, we will still be faced with the virus. THIS IS WHAT THE CHIEF HEALTH OFFICER IS SAYING, saying you can’t stop it.
Multiple resources have said THERE is NO way to escape it or CONTAIN it. Corona Virus is a COLD virus.  Which means it could be a seasonal virus, and so shutting down each year is NOT an option.

In Italy, a couple of years ago in MILAN (has the highest number of chinese immigrants), the hospitals with the influenza virus were completely over run. They had to call doctors and nurses to come over and help them.  This is BEFORE the corona virus.  Hospitals get overrun with respiratory viruses every year, this is not new, so instead of shutdowns, maybe we should invest on equipping our hospitals better, or maybe even better: educating the masses on actual immunity! 
______________________

Data from china is also showing It’s not airborne the way people think, it is showing it has to be close contact respiratory drops.  Everybody is worried it lives on surfaces for days,  and disinfecting everything.  The studies from china are showing that over an hour it decreases the strength of the virus on a surface.

HERE are some numbers from Italy:

The average age of men with Covid-19 who died in Italy: 80.5.
The average age of women with Covid-19 who died in Italy: 83.6

Also huge smoker population in Italy and China.

Rate of death in Italy for people 0-49 years old: 0.002 or (0.2%, two-tenths of one percent). – SOURCE (CNN)

And remember mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of cases — however, cases include only those who were tested NOT everyone in the general population who experienced the illness.

***So for the 0-49 age bracket, the overwhelming majority of our economic working force, 0.2% is the worst-case scenario for the worst hit country.***

While any deaths are tragic, is it right to shut down the entire economy with the hundreds of subsequent problems (many of them permanent) that will cause for hundreds of millions of Americans when 99.8% of people under 50 WON’T die? 

Also, I’d like to compare our current every year numbers of just influenza. Respiratory viruses kill tens of thousands of Americans EVERY YEAR and no one says to stay home to save the elderly population. Not a single person took part in ‘social distancing’ — people regularly went out in the world sick. You can’t pick and choose when you approach society and the health of its members ethically. This is NO different than all the other years your sickness could have been accidentally passed in public to someone in the “risk category” group which caused complications and maybe even their death. But everyone went about their lives then because no one talked about it.
This being said, I believe the reason why is because there is something bigger going on here. 

If you caught my facebook live last week I talked about the HUGE impact of 5G in Wuhan China, and in the Washington hospital where the individuals died.  Currently right now, as we are quarantined, 5G is being put up in neighborhoods, schools and facilities.  Several people have shown pictures of it going up in certain neighborhoods, although I cannot say this in mine.

3 and 4G have been shown to create HUGE immune system problems, with radiation causing cancer, opening of the blood brain barrier, leaky gut, killing of birds and insects near towers and more.

I think this “virus” is such a HUGE topic because it’s meant to hide what is really happening. 

You have to see the bigger pictures here. 

If you didn’t get it this year, you may get it next year, with mutating strands.
For all those holding onto hope of the vaccine, we know from the “flu vaccine” it doesn’t and hasn’t been successful at eliminating the flu, with having the HIGHEST flu vaccination records. The flu vaccine barely works, the real statistical research only showing a possible 5% chance for decreasing. NO thanks. People don’t have a lot of confidence in the flu shot, and I don’t blame them.

This scientist is saying the only option is that our population gets it, and we increase the immunity to deal with it. 
We SHOULD be educating the masses how to create immunity!  NOT HIDING.
This is why I STAND firm in remaining open.  SO many of my colleagues have closed thinking they are helping the greater good.  I believe they are running from FEAR, or really think they are doing good. IN reality this is going to come no matter what, so we need to be prepared, and help people’s immune systems adjust as best as possible.  THAT is what education is.

Which is why the media and others have thrived off of Fear. 

Have you heard Dr. Newson or any of the media talk about how to actually boost your immune system to fight this?!!
Nope.
There is not someone out there spending anytime talking about the boosting immune system.
Most hospitals also don’t use what in the research has shown to kill this which is HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C.
Wash your hands and stay at home is there advise.. WHAT?!  Shouldn’t that be common sense?
People expose each other all the time to viruses and infections.  We are fighting things all the time.

This should be encouraging.
A brand new report from CNN, published in the journal of pediatrics, looked at 730 confirmed cases of COVD 19 of children in china, and said out of all those cases, more than 90% were asymptomatic or mild symptoms of the illness.  We don’t have to fear the lives of children.
Why are we closing schools?!
Again I believe something bigger going on.
I would check out this video of what’s happening at schools:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLWc–eVU8

Most of the cases in China as well had other co-morbitidies, which compromised their immune systems.  And ALSO the 5G exposure. 

Adult data from china: majority only suffer mild symptoms, then recover.  -Ivana Contosova CNN.
No NEW local infections have occurred.  Meaning this just needs to run its course.
We’re using China to show you that there will be a point that the virus will come down.

YES, this is a harsh MAN MADE virus (Shown from India) with DNA in it.  Yes you will need more support to clear it, but YES there are other infections out there all the time!  We can’t fear this one virus, that many of us have probably already been exposed to.

Instead we need to believe in the power of our bodies to heal, remember to stay home when not feeling good, and be educated how to fight infections when we get them.

I think if we do this, we can really save our economy which is the MAJOR problem here.

“If this government-ordered shutdown continues for much more than another week or two, the human cost of job losses and bankruptcies will exceed what most Americans imagine.

Federal and state officials need to start adjusting their anti-virus strategy now to avoid an economic recession that will dwarf the harm from 2008-2009.

Yet the costs of this national shutdown are growing by the hour, and we don’t mean federal spending. We mean a tsunami of economic destruction that will cause tens of millions to lose their jobs as commerce and production simply cease. Many large companies can withstand a few weeks without revenue but that isn’t true of millions of small and mid-sized companies!

Even cash-rich businesses operate on a thin margin and can bleed through reserves in a month. First they will lay off employees and then out of necessity they will shut down. Another month like this week and the layoffs will be measured in millions of people.

The deadweight loss in production will be profound and take years to rebuild.

Some in the media who don’t understand American business say that China managed a comparable shock to its economy and is now beginning to emerge on the other side. Why can’t the U.S. do it too? This ignores that the Chinese state owns an enormous stake in that economy and chose to absorb the losses. In the U.S. those losses will be borne by private owners and workers who rely on a functioning private economy. They have no state balance sheet to fall back on.

The politicians in Washington are telling Americans, as they always do, that they are riding to the rescue by writing checks to individuals and offering loans to business. But there is no amount of money that can make up for losses of the magnitude we are facing if this extends for several more weeks. After the first $1 trillion this month, will we have to spend another $1 trillion in April, and another in June?

By the time Treasury’s small-business lending program runs through the bureaucratic hoops—complete with ordering owners that they can’t lay off anyone as a price for getting the loan—millions of businesses will be bankrupt and tens of millions will be jobless.

But no society can safeguard public health for long at the cost of its overall economic health. Even America’s resources to fight a viral plague aren’t limitless—and they will become more limited by the day as individuals lose jobs, businesses close, and American prosperity gives way to poverty. America urgently needs a pandemic strategy that is more economically and socially sustainable than the current national lockdown.”

Here are MY TIPS:

1. Eating better-  FRESH ORGANIC FRUITS AND VEGGIES.
-Genetic based nutrition has been so helpful here boosting up your VITAMIN D pathway.  This pathway is crucial for creating actual antibodies.  This is how we create true immunity.

Boosting up your vitamin C also has been shown in the research to help fight this viruses, as well as boosting your mitochondria and energy pathways.

I like Argentyn Silver or Silvercillin which has been shown to kill many harsh infections.  My patients get a free shot of this with a treatment:)

I recommend getting a good overall picture of your immune system though, that’s why I love doing functional nutrition.

And of course,
STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR.

Most take advil and other things to lower a fever, which actually prolongs the healing phase and causes a blockage in heat shock proteins.

2. KEEP UP with chiropractic.  This has been shown in so much research to help stimulate and keep the immune system strong and robust.  Your nervous system controls your immune system. You can’t adjust yourself unfortunately ( I WISH I COULD).

3. Exercise.  Get out in the sun and keep your body moving.  This staying inside thing is such nonsense.  GO MOVE.  WE need our lymphatic system constantly moving to help us detox. The longer the lymphatics are obstructed, the more different antibodies you make until you become allergic to almost everything. Chronic lymph problems is immune system problems!

4. Sleep.  Make sure you are getting good sleep.  If you aren’t, let’s talk.

5. Hydration.  Keeping your cells hydrated is so important.  Kangan alkalized water is the best hydrating water for your body as it actually gets into our cells.  For more info let me know.

6. Stay away from electronics and take as many safe measures to decrease EMF exposure. WE need to continue to fight 5G, and support Children’s Health Defense for lawsuits against it.

From Robert F Kennedy Jr:

“Elon Musk’s SpaceX to roll out 1 million ground antenna for Big Telecom’s Starlink internet project. To avoid public scrutiny, the FCC issued its decision on a Friday afternoon, coterminous with a noisy presidential press conference on a different topic, at the height of the Coronavirus Panic.

In a science fiction nightmare right out of Terminator,Starlink will mesh these antennae to network of some 50,000 satellites,12,000 of which already have FCC approval. SpaceX will provide high-speed internet to the globe while saturating every corner of God’s creation with deadly radiation.
The FCC license details that each ground antenna is 19 inches across. “It looks like a UFO on a stick,” gushes manchild Musk,of his sprouting forests of lethal ground antenna
Musk’s company has sent 360 of Starlink’s diabolical low altitude satellites aloft in the past year & is launching 60 new ones every two weeks. “It’s very important that you don’t need a specialist to install.”says Musk”The goal is for … just two instructions and they can be done in either order: Point at sky, plug in.”Musk’s ground antennae assure that no one will be able to hide from Big Telecom. Musk,promises that his land based array will allow Starlink to blanket the 3% “hardest to reach customers” in rural areas. SpaceX intends Starlink to provide high-speed connection for any users, with latency below 20 milliseconds. Thousands of studies conclusively show that Radio-Frequencies and Microwave based technologies such as Wi-Fi cause deadly harms to humans,birds ,insects including bees and all animals and plants.
CHDs lawsuit against FCC attacks the legality of the government’s permit for all the ground and satellite antennas. We need $200,000 more for the FCC suit and we hope to raise $1,000,000 to finance a pipeline of new litigation.” Consider donating here: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/about-us/donate/

I will be carrying EMF bracelets in my office soon.  And like the company RAYONEX from Germany for at home protection.

6. Keep having Faith.  No matter if this was engineered or the corruptness that is being hidden, continue to have faith and stand in your truth. No matter even what you see with this economy, choose to shut out what needs to be shut out and trust in what God says. Use this time to get a RESET.  Purge what needs to be purged, and detox your soul.  I’m seeing that so much this week with patients is such a huge spiritual warfare happening.  God always uses evil for good.  We can’t put our trust in man, but having faith is our greatest tool to be able to relieve people’s fear with trust in God. He favors his children, and will never leave us in lack. If we continue to put our faith in fear, we will reap just that. IF our eye is on the economy, virus, circumstances, you’ll come to a place of negative.  God’s power flows through faith.  Don’t speak out of hopelessness and be careful to not speak the language of the world. Speak love, hope and faith!

Like I said I believe I and many of patients have already come down with this. It’s not to fear it.

Continue to support your small businesses if possible, and if you need help with your elderly parents and family members please reach out.  We can send them nutritional support and really truly keep them healthy.

Praying and hoping this lockdown ends quickly for us all.

Two Main Nutrients needed for the Brain.

Happy Monday Warriors!

I hope you all have had a wonderful October so far. It’s hard to believe it’s already 3/4 through the month!

Last month we talked about viruses that affect the function of the brain.  If you missed it, make sure you catch up, since viruses seem to be the hot topic this time of year!

————————————————————–

This week I wanted to talk with you guys about certain nutrients that are needed for your brain to function at its best.  If you’ve been following me for awhile, you might already know them and if not then WELCOME!  You will learn quite a bit about the brain if you stick around.

Today I want to not only talk about these nutrients, but talk about them in two different ways through Craniopathy Chiropractic and through Genetic Based Nutrition, because those are what I believe are the BEST ways to get these nutrients effectively.

Nutrient #1. OXYGEN. 

The brain uses three times as much oxygen as the muscles of the body do. It requires about 20% of the human bodies oxygen.  We know that oxygen is VITAL of course, but for the brain it allows for growth and healing to occur.  Our blood carries oxygen to the brain and is reliant on sufficient nitric oxide to do so. Oxygen comes from the lungs, in particular the lower part of the lugs that hold the most red blood cells to accept more oxygen.

The BEST way to get the most amount of oxygen is to breathe through your nose and fully expand your diaphragm. This will actually enable you to get that lower part of your lungs so the blood can carry it back up into the brain. 
Oxygen depletion is the #1 thing that I focus on in my practice.  This being because if your brain doesn’t have enough oxygen, you will constantly be chasing what is going on in your body.  Whether pain, infections, or proper nutrition.  It doesn’t matter how much good nutrition tips you get, how much water you drink or how much you exercise, if you aren’t getting oxygen up there… You won’t heal.

HOW DO I ASSESS?
Through the cranial system of course!  There is a specific rhythm that the bones of the head go through.  This rhythm is super important for blood to flow in and out of your brain, and oxygen to enter.  When there is tension in this system, this means that this rhythm will be disrupted.  Tension is this system also means a difficult time breathing correctly in and out of the nose.  Some individuals find it hard at all to nasal breath, and when that is the case, there is severe tension within the head impacting the sinuses.  Don’t just go running to the ENT, most of what I find is that the cranial system as A whole is the problem, not the sinuses.
Remember, the only way to access that nitric oxide is to nasal breathe!  Time and time again, patient after patient will leave my office saying OMG I can BREATHE!  It’s amazing how much your mood even changes when you are properly oxygenated. 
This is why children and adults have temper and mood issues when they have sleep apnea or are mouth breathers.  It affects how your brain functions! 

The oxygen level also impacts the health of your lymphatic system in your brain, so if you aren’t properly oxygenated, you can have toxins build up in your brain and cause severe inflammation.  

HOW DO YOU GET MORE OXYGEN THROUGH NUTRITION?!

You can also enhance your oxygen levels by enhancing the nitric oxide cycle through nutrition. Nitric oxide helps vasodilate (meaning expand) blood vessels to allow for more oxygen.  However, for some, their genetic profiles don’t allow nitric oxide to be formulated effectively.  Because of specific mutations and because this pathway is extremely sensitive to radiation and free radical damage, the cycle can get compromised, meaning less oxygen available.  Not having enough nitric oxide can be very damaging neurologically to the body as well.  You see, just like your brain, your nerves also need oxygen.  Without it, they don’t function as well.
Finding out if your nitric oxide cycle is compromised can be found through specific kinesiology genetic testing (which I do).  When we know that this is a player, the customized nutrition will help to overcome this obstacle and allow you to get more oxygen!  Pretty cool right?

Nutrient #2.  Energy (glucose & ATP). 

Energy. The brain utilizes more energy than ANY other organ.  I mean think about all that is has to do right?
The brain and body need actual ENERGY made from within called ATP.  This is needed for every single cell of our body to do what it needs to do.  If we don’t have enough ATP, our brain and body will be depleted.  WE also get energy from another source: glucose.  What’s the big organ for glucose production? The Liver. 
The liver supplies sugar or glucose by turning stored glucose (glycogen) into glucose! It can also make glucose by harvesting amino acids, waste products and fat by products! Another reason to love that liver!

So we must have a robust and healthy liver to actually supply the energy (glucose) needed to our brain. Yet another organ our brain relies upon.  The first if you remember were the lungs.

Body wise, we need make sure the liver is moving... All organs MOVE, and need movement to do what they need to do.  So just like the brain needed to have proper movement for blood flow to happen, the other organs as well need proper flow and mobility.

HOW DO WE GET IT TO MOVE?
Through body work!  Working on the nerves that control the liver are key to make sure it knows what to do!  So enhancing the spinal areas related to the liver are key through chiropractic manipulation.  Also doing reflex techniques to get the liver and gallbladder working more affectively through abdominal work is really helpful to get them moving!
Lastly, the liver is a big source of emotional stress, so if this is the case, you must uncover and start to heal from those emotional wounds so that the liver can do what it needs to!  Emotional wounds cause physical problems too!

HOW DO WE GET BETTER ENERGY THROUGH NUTRITION?!

This is one of the FIRST and biggest impact pathways we focus on first with genetic nutrition.  This being because if you don’t have enough energy, you can’t even begin to work on other genetic factors like MTHFR and others(HUGE mistake made by many who do genetic testing).  Getting your body to make more ATP and to make and enhance your liver and glucose is really impactful!  Many on my genetic protocols will say even after a week that their energy is amazing!  We don’t have to give them extra energy help or adrenal supports, their own bodies make the energy they need!
Any why are they happier?
Because their brain is happier.  It has the energy it needs to do what it needs to!
And, your liver is happier too.  Which means detox pathways, hormones and other systems will work more efficiently!
A couple genetic variants I see when this is really impacted is the NDUFS gene and the ACAT gene mutations.  Take care of those and the rest of the energy pathway will clear and be happy:)

So there you have it folks.  Oxygen and Energy.  If you give your brain these two, it will work for you the way you need it to and in a much HEALTHIER more EFFICIENT way.

Questions?
Ask Away!

That is all for now.

Dr. Hamel DC.

The genetic variations for ENERGY, who doesn’t need more energy?!

Happy Monday Tribe!

We are switching it up a lttle as there was no blog last week!  (Thank you for all the birthday wishes, you guys are THE BEST).

Last month we talked ALOT about the illusions of the nervous system, and ways to heal specific nerves.  If you missed any of them make sure you check out my blog online to recap, there was SOME REALLY great nuggets in there.  Especially the bit about cranial nerves!

Check it here:
https://www.drrachelhamel.com/blog-post/supercharging-your-cranial-nerves/

———————-

This week we are shifting gears a little to talk more about genes and nutrition.  A few weeks ago I told you about the genetic mutation VDR for vitamin D and how it is SO important for the immune system, mood regulation and other. 

Before I go into more, let’s recap about genetics and nutrition for you new comers.  When looking into genes for nutrition this is what we are looking for:  enzymes.  The enzymes will either speed up or slow down a process.  Two things can happen.  You either have a homozygous gene (one from mom and dad), or heterozygous gene (one from either mom OR dad).  Each variant will inhibit the pathway its under by either 80%(homo) or 30% (hetero).  That’s a big deal!

We can’t change the genes, but we can change the way they express, and the more genetic mutations in a certain pathway, the more hindered that pathway will be.

This week I want to BRIEFLY talk about the energy pathway.  I say briefly because the energy pathways has dozens of different genes that can affect it.  I’m just going to be talking about a couple in the pathway that I see pretty commonly, and how it affects so many things, but really your ENERGY!

Who doesn’t need more energy??? Ya, I thought so.  I’m with ya there friends! 

Now, if I sent you the entire pathway of energy, your head might explode.  Ok not really, but there’s ALOT going on and a lot of you will have nightmares of your high school or college chemistry days! Or maybe some of you nerds like me will LOVE IT!

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go into it all.  I’m just going to attach a snipet here of the particular pathway we are talking about.

So the section that says #1 and #2, we are going to focus on those two areas!!
Some of you may or may not remember in those chemistry classes learning about the Krebs (or citric acid) cycle.  It’s basically the Energy Cycle.  The goal is to create something called ATP.  ATP= ENERGY, cellular energy.

ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism.  It is used by enzymes and proteins in many many cellular processes that need to take place. 

Lack of ATP?

Causes issues with a build up of an amino acid called methionine and adverse response to methylated forms of supplements.  It also can result in anxiety and inflammation from high levels of glutamate.

In order to make energy which is the goal of this whole process, the ATP must be generated from something called the electron transport chain and all the processes above it.

So Let’s look at the first genetic variant NDUFS by the number 1. This gene is involved with the making of lipoic acid. Lipoic acid is needed for the electron transport chain to work and create that ATP!

This genetic mutation may be associated with: lethal neonatal disease, adult onset neurodegenerative disorders, macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy, encephalopathy, hypertrophic or cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease, optic neuropathy, and some forms of parkinson’s disease.

Health risks:
Fatigue!!
Exercise intolerance
Weight gain
Leigh Syndrome
Neurological imbalances
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Encephalopathy (maybe a reason why children get encepahology from vaccines, they can’t utilize this pathwayto clear the toxins??)
Myopathy
Liver disease
Optic neuropathy
Parkinson’s disease.

WOW right.  This is just one genetic mutation.

I should say all this info is from scientific studies on these specific genes.  We are learning more and more everyday!

So, a decrease in energy because of this ONE gene can lead up to a list of possible risks!

Let’s check out the area #2. Gene called SLC22A4, 5. 
This gene provides instructions for making a protein found in the heart, liver, muscles, kidneys and other tissue.  This protein is within the cell membrane, where it transports something called carnitine into the cell. 
Carnitine is consumed in our diet and needed to bring fatty acids into mitochondria, the energy producers in cells.  They make the ATP.

Fatty acids are a major source of energy for the heart and the muscles.  What about fasting?
During fasting, fatty acids are also an important energy source for the liver and other tissues.
With this mutation there is a shortage of carnitine within the cells.  Without this, fatty acids cannot enter mitochondria and be used to make ENERGY!

Reduced energy?
Muscle weakness and hypoglycemia.  It’s critical for elimination of many drugs and environmental toxins as well!

A buildup of this causes other symptoms:
– muscle weakness
-crohns disease
-rheumatoid arthritis
-carnitine deficiency
-fatigue
-exercise intolerance
-plaque psoriasis.

——

So we’ve only gone over 2 genes.  Do you see how this can be complicated?!  Good thing is you don’t have to know it all, you just need to see someone that does!

What I am tending to find with this work is that especially for this cycle (there’s more involved here), that the chronic fatigue energy people, have a lot going on in this pathway. 

The people that always need adrenal support or energy support, coffee/tea.  
Yep, those peops. 

Instead of just giving energy supplements, you need to look at why the energy (ATP), isn’t really working!  A good portion is because of these two genetic mutations.

Through specific nutrients we can help these pathways clear up and get that energy pumping better! 

Because like I said, who doesn’t want more energy?!

Want more info!?

OIL OF THE WEEK

Check out our new summer oil! 🎊🌴☀️ This is a promotion you won’t want to miss out on! This month, receive Summer Savory FREE with your 125 PV LRP order placed before June 15. If you are signed up for the Loyalty Rewards Program, this is a great time to take advantage of your membership and receive this item for free with your order.

Summer Savory essential oil is steam distilled from the whole Satureja hortensis herb. Native to Europe and chemically similar to Thyme and Oregano essential oils, Summer Savory offers a peppery, herbaceous aroma. Until recently, the only way you could enjoy this amazing essential oil was by using doTERRA DDR Prime® Cellular Complex. But now, for a limited time, you can add this CPTG® single oil to your growing essential oil collection.

What Are the Benefits of Summer Savory Essential Oil?

Summer Savory essential oil contains relatively high concentrations of carvacrol, a chemical constituent found in Thyme and Oregano essential oils. However, unlike Thyme and Oregano, Summer Savory also has significant concentrations of gamma-terpinene. Carvacrol, a monoterpene phenol, has been extensively studied for its therapeutic benefits in the body. Due to their chemistry, phenols have been known to exhibit protective effects against environmental threats.

An Essential Oil for Digestive Support

Summer Savory can be used to support many of the organs and normal processes of the digestive system.*

  1. Mouth: The tongue, teeth, and mouth are all members of the digestive system. When added to a mouthwash or rinse, Summer Savory may actually help promote a clean and healthy mouth1,2.
  2. Stomach: Experimental research suggests that carvacrol, the main constituent in Summer Savory, can support normal function of cells in the stomach3.*
  3. Liver: Summer Savory and its main constituent, carvacrol, may support healthy liver function4,5.*
  4. Gastrointestinal tract: Carvacrol is known to exhibit antioxidant action at the cellular level, protecting cells and DNA from damage imposed by free radicals. This lends support to cells that line the gastrointestinal tract4.

Conclusion

The next time you go to grab a bottle of doTERRA Thyme or Oregano essential oil, try using Summer Savory instead. Rich with carvacrol, a therapeutic chemical constituent, Summery Savory can offer daily support to the tissues and cells of the digestive system.* Consider adding 1–2 drops to a Veggie Cap or using it to flavor the next savory dish you make.

 

 

That is all for now,

Have a happy and healthy week!
