I will be adding information under the headings below as I have the time and inclination.  How Not To Die Club members will be notified via email when information has been added.  

So pick a topic that interests you and see if any of the suggestions make sense to you.  I have tried to organize the topics in order of importance but it is a little sketchy in places.

Where to start:
  • Read "My Grandiose Theory of Everything"
  • Learn TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises)
  • Get your pelvis balanced (Myofascial Release) and maintain it with Egoscue Ecises
        The pelvis is often:
              Rotated forward or backward on one side
              Tilted Forward or backward
              Rotated around its axis
              High or Low on one side
          I usually see a combination of these. How can the back be stable sitting on an unstable foundation?
  • Read the Vitamin D section
  • Read the Iodine section
  • Read the Thyroid section
  • Watch "The Fuzz Speech" video
  • Read the Cancer section (FUPO - Fungus Until Proven Otherwise)
If you do only these things (and act on them) you will be a lifeline bender!
Everything else will fall into place and start to make sense (I hope).

This is what kills us - resolving the artifacts of trauma in the body is required to live a normal, healthy, long life (unless of course you get hit by a truck). Trauma Releasing Exercises and Myofascial Release are major advances in accomplishing this. Read My Grandiose Theory of Everything
Folks medicate for this with or without the help of a doctor with food, drugs, alcohol, keeping real busy, violence, and probably a thousand things that did not occur to me. It will catch up to all of them and kill them, some sooner, some later.

Unresolved Stress/Trauma is at the root of most, if not all disease and disorders in the body! Traditional medicine works backward from the symptom instead of looking for the source of the problem which I call Whack-a-Mole medicine. Another symptom will appear as long as the Stress/Trauma is unresolved. Treating symptoms is often useful for the short term but harmful in the long term. This is my major complaint with the state of health care today and why I say it is an obsolete paradigm that will collapse under it's own weight if it does not bankrupt us first.  So learn TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises) and start peeling away those layers of unresolved stress and trauma. Then the body can heal.

Fascia will get it's own page soon!!!

Fascia needs clean Water, Iodine, Thyroid hormones, Light, and Stretching to maintain it's function as a whole body (down to the cellular and intracellular level) communication system. Traditional medicine has ignored fascia until recently. It doesn't show up on standard test and doctors rarely touch their patients so it just gets overlooked. This will change as the fundamental importance of treating the fascia becomes obvious.

What is Fascia - John F. Barnes

"It is amazing to be able to see what we have been feeling under our hands with myofascial release; tensegrity, mechanotransduction and the fiber-optic aspect of the fascial system in action, the fluidity of the fascial system and liquid flowing through the microtubules. This visual helps us understand the nodal points actually move when pressure was applied and the changes in the hydrostatic pressure. Seeing is believing."

"This DVD contains some of the most vivid images of a living person’s fascia ever developed and it supports the important information I have been teaching for more than 30 years." John F. Barnes    Clips from Strolling under the Skin DVD by Dr JC Guimberteau (2 parts)

    Iodine
    (take with      selenium)

"The misinformation about Iodine can be traced to the Wolff-Chaikoff study at the University of California at Berkeley in 1948 that resulted in removal of iodine from the food supply. The study says iodine intake of 2 milligrams or more is excessive and potentially harmful. The study most likely caused a lot of misery and death in the U.S. due to the negative impact on iodine consumption." Dr. Guy Abraham

Dr Abraham uses the word "forgery" in debunking this study. The shame is bakers removed potassium iodate and replaced it with potassium bromate as a dough conditioner in the early 1970s as a result of the "iodophobia" created by Wolff-Chaikoff. Potassium bromate is toxic (see the Toxic Halides below) so we got a double whammy. We lost the iodine source and got a toxic substance instead that locks up the iodine receptors in the body. Breast cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, pcos, obesity, thyroid disorders, and various metabolic disorders have all gone through the roof. Does it take a rocket scientist to see there might be some connection here? Oh and the things I listed are just a partial list of a long list of health issues that have been negatively impacted since the population has become iodine deficient.

Most doctors are not aware of the new science about iodine but fortunately that is changing as "The Iodine Doctors" have started a revolution in our understanding of this essential nutrient.

vitamin D is sooo important   Vitamin D Resource Page
You should know your Vitamin D blood level. Life Extension offers a reliable vitamin D blood test at a fraction of what most commercial blood labs charge. Optimal blood levels of vitamin D are often far greater than the standard reference range. The only way to achieve an optimal level is through proper supplementation.
You can order your own Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy Blood Test here.
Vitamin D Dose Recommendations from Dr Mercola
Age Dosage
Below 5: 35 units per pound per day
Age 5 - 10: 2500 units
Adults: 5000 units
Pregnant Women: 5000 units

Carole Baggerly Discusses Vitamin D Dosage - Adults need 8000 IU/Day minimum to reach 40ng/ml blood level. See suggetions below - 40 is not high enough!

WARNING:
There is no way to know if the above recommendations are correct. The ONLY way to know is to test your blood. You might need 4-5 times the amount recommended above. Ideally your blood level of 25 OH D should be 60ng/ml according to Dr. Mercola.
Dr Mary Schrick says it should be 85 ng/ml and Dr Brownstein says 70-120 ng/ml.
Dr. Brownstein treats some conditions with 50,000 IU per day for a period of time with no adverse side effects! Of course he monitors the blood level closely.

OK you had your thyroid checked and your doctor said the test shows everything is fine.
You still feel like crap, you're depressed, your body hurts, and you can't lose weight so the doctor offers you antidepressant medications and tells you to get more exercise.

Iodide and chloride are beneficial in small amounts, but bromide and fluoride are toxic. They grab onto your iodine receptors, blocking the action of iodide and thyroid hormones, resulting in, or at least contributing to many serious diseases.

Do YOU Take Any of These 11 Dangerous Cholesterol Drugs? Dr Mercola
Making Sense of Your Cholesterol Numbers: The Cholesterol Myth That is Harming You Health - Dr. Mercola

>> This stands everything you think you know about cholesterol on its head!!! <<
"Conventional medicine is seriously confused about cholesterol, which is closely interrelated with sulfur. Sulfur deficiency is pervasive and may be a contributing factor in heart disease that is also related to your levels of cholesterol, but not in the way you might think. Considering the fact that conventional medicine has been telling us that heart disease is due to elevated cholesterol and recommends lowering cholesterol levels as much as possible, the stance of Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior scientist at MIT, may come as a complete shock."

"Cardiovascular disease, of which arterial plaque is a hallmark, is actually your body's way of compensating for not having enough cholesterol sulfate" - Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior scientist at MIT
WHAT???
You have to see this  video interview with Dr. Seneff: Can Statin Drug Use Cause Your Liver and Heart to Fail?

"So, in a nutshell, high LDL appears to be a sign of cholesterol sulfate deficiency—it's your body's way of trying to maintain the correct balance by taking damaged LDL and turning it into plaque, within which the blood platelets produce the cholesterol sulfate your heart and brain need for optimal function ... What this also means is that when you artificially lower your cholesterol with a statin drug, which effectively reduces that plaque but doesn't address the root problem, your body is not able to compensate any longer, and as a result of lack of cholesterol sulfate you may end up with heart failure." - Dr Mercola

"The following ratios are FAR more potent indicators for heart disease than total cholesterol, and are the ones you want to keep an eye on:

HDL/Total Cholesterol Ratio: HDL percentage is a very potent heart disease risk factor. Just divide your HDL level by your cholesterol. This percentage should ideally be above 24 percent. Below 10 percent, it's a significant indicator of risk for heart disease.

Triglyceride/HDL Ratio: Divide your triglycerides by your HDL level. This percentage should ideally be below 2.

Still think statins are a good idea? Maybe this will un-wash you're brain.
Statin drugs are particularly problematic because they suppress the synthesis of a biological wonder drug, namely cholesterol. - Dr. Stephanie Seneff, senior scientist at MIT

Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen
Dr Blaylock - "Radiation damage is cumulative. Women at high risk for breast cancer actually increase their chances of developing the disease by having yearly mammograms - with a 1% to 3% increased risk per year.  Getting yearly mammograms for ten years would increase a women's risk 10 to 30%."

10 ways to make better decisions about cancer care - pdf document

See Metformin in the thyroid section.

There is a simple test to tell if you have candida overgrowth.
First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass of water. Better still; leave it by your bed the night before. Work up a bit of saliva, and then spit it into the glass of water.

Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have a candida yeast infection, strings (like legs) will travel down into the water from the saliva floating on top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If nothing develops in 30 to 45 minutes, you are probably candida free.

WHAT IF THERE WAS A CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND NO ONE KNEW?

Medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil). This is a special fat that the brain can metabolize like sugar, but without producing inflammation or free radicals. It is an integral part of high-fat, low carbohydrate ketogenic diets such at the Atkins diet, and may also be a major weapon against malignant brain tumors and Alzheimer’s. But never take this oil on an empty stomach as it can cause severe cramping. Rather, take it after eating the largest meals of the day. The dose is one tablespoon twice daily. - Blaylock Wellness Report Sept. 2011
