        Early Signs of Toxic Kidneys 
        Let’s talk about how to spot the early signs of toxic kidneys. 
        The kidneys filter blood, removing or recycling waste and converting the blood into urine. Other functions of the kidneys include controlling blood pressure and bone growth, as well as supporting the red blood cells. 
        The most common cause of kidney disease is diabetic nephropathy. The kidneys are basically made up of tiny filters called nephrons. Diabetic nephropathy is a disease of the nephrons. A high-sugar diet can lead to the destruction of these nephrons. 
        The #1 early sign of toxic kidneys: 
        • Decreased urine output 
        Other early signs of toxic kidneys: 
        • Frequent urination 
        • Ammonia-smelling urine, body odor, and breath 
        • Foamy urine 
        • Feeling cold all of the time 
        • Itchy skin 
        • Fatigue 
        What you can do for toxic kidneys: 
        1. Go on a low-carb diet and get your carbs from vegetables 
        2. Stop drinking alcohol 
        3. Consume a moderate amount of protein

        How Beneficial are Essential Oils? 
        Essential oils are the oils extracted from plants that contain the “essence” of those plants, and they are beloved for their pleasant aromas and their use in diffusers.  
        Essential oils have existed and been used for centuries, but their use has been popularized in recent years. There are over 90 essential oils, but some popular essential oils include peppermint, lavender, sandalwood, tea tree, jasmine, lemon, ylang-ylang, rose, and many others. 
        Essential oils are employed in aromatherapy, which many people find to be beneficial. Subsequently, many health claims that have become attached to essential oils, some with more evidence than others. Some of the benefits associated with essential oils include:  
        relief of stress and anxiety 
          relief from headaches 
          assist in helping you get to sleep 
          reduce inflammation  
          provide antimicrobial support 
        The evidence for using essential oils for any of the above mentioned uses is not always substantiated in the research literature. There are, however, many anecdotes of people finding relief from certain health problems by using essential oils. Given that when they are used in the proper way they are generally safe, it might be beneficial to experiment with their use.  
        How to Use Essential Oils 
        By and large, essential oils are not meant to be used internally. Instead, they are meant to be used in a diffuser and used to give living spaces the aroma of whatever essential oils are being used.  
        Some can be added in minute quantities to a base oil, such as olive or coconut oil, and used topically on the skin. For the most part, essential oils shouldn’t be swallowed, particularly in non-diluted form.  
        Some like peppermint oil, clove oil, or cinnamon oil, can be added to foods for flavoring. Dosing is important, you should not swallow these in large quantities because they can make you sick. If you want to use these oils internally, talk to a doctor, naturopath, or someone well-versed in their use.  
        Essential Oils’ Anti-Fungal Properties 
        Many oils exhibit anti-fungal properties. This is among the reasons they might be beneficial in living spaces. Fungi and fungal spores can become airborne, particularly in indoor spaces, and given that many essential oils exhibit anti-fungal properties, diffusing them might be beneficial towards the end of keeping the air inside your home or place of work fungus-free. While they may be no substitute for eliminating fungus in your home or remediating if you have a mold problem, diffusing essential oils is one more line of defense against fungi in your home.  
        And again, before you try to take advantage of the anti-fungal effects of essential oils inside the body, consult with your health care provider or knowledgeable naturopath. Some supplements might already contain proper dosing of specific oils that can be used internally, but always consult with your health care provider before trying a new supplement.

        Confused about Immunity and How to Get It? 
        I've heard quite a bit lately about vaccines that cause immunity but it must be boostered and how it might not work. They talk aobut natural immunity, acquired  immunity, or adaptive immunity.  
        Definition of Immunity: 
           
          1. the ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells. 2. Lack of susceptibility, especially to something unwelcome or harmful 
        The root Latin definition of the word means “safe”. 
        Here is some more information about vaccines  
        And a list of things you can do to create a healthy immune system  
          
          
        Billion$ Spent on Violence Prevention Ignores How Psychotropic Drugs Cause Hostility, and Their Role in Mass Shootings & Stabbings  
          
        Although there are numerous reasons for acts of mass violence, funding poured into violence prevention mental health programs has ignored a potential pivotal source, especially in schools: the treatment. 
        By Jan Eastgate 
          President, CCHR International 
          July 11, 2022 
        Mental health professionals suggest that the latest spate of mass killings require more psychiatric services and stronger involuntary commitment laws to prevent future violence. However, this would most likely increase acts of violence because psychiatric drugs are usually the first line of treatment and carry a risk of inducing suicide and hostility in a percent of those taking them.  
        Taxpayer appropriations have been funneled into everything related to prevention except investigating psychotropic drug links to acts of violence. A financial audit of violence prevention mental health programs should be conducted to show accountability for results.
