Why Losing Weight Can Be Dangerous To Your Health
The Five Most Important Strategies to Make Weight Loss Safer
We all got problems. But there's a great book out called Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart (#ad). Did you see that? That book says the statute of limitations has expired on all childhood traumas. Get your stuff together and get on with your life, man. Stop whinin' about what's wrong, because everybody's had a rough time, in one way or another.
Quincy Jones from a Details Magazine interview
Life is a fight. You are in matter to conquer it—lest it conquer you.
There is nothing in this universe stronger than the will of man when it is directed by a powerful unit of force. Whatever your strength, make the most of it in the battle of life.
Remember that your opponents are not other men, but conditions. If you fight men, they will fight you back; but if you fight conditions, they, being unintelligent, will yield to you with just enough resistance to keep your muscles in good order.
And do not forget the law of rhythm—that is at the back of everything. Count on rhythm; it never has failed yet, and it never will. Watch for the high tides of yourself and flow up with them; when the inevitable low tides come, either rest or meditate. You cannot escape rhythm. You transcend it by working with it.
You can even turn and grow young, for time also has its tides; and there are many ripples in the long sea-swell of life.
The ghost of David Patterson Hatch from To Those About to Die: Letters from a Living Dead Man
Because learning lessons is all that matters, there is no virtue in choosing the most painful struggle toward achieving them. That is actually a sign of ignorance. Ideally, learning them should be fun, and if you are aware and make good use of what knowledge you have attained, learning will indeed be fun.
You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.
Les Brown
I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.
Cary Grant
Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits become character. And character becomes your destiny.
Unknown
When a man imagines, even after years of striving, that he has attained perfection, his decline begins.
Theodore Martin
Never look back with regret; look back only to learn what is behind you.
Look forward always; it is only when a man ceases to look forward to things that he begins to grow old. He settles down.
The Beautiful Being from To Those About to Die: Letters from a Living Dead Man
We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.
Anthony Robbins
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly
Henri L. Bergson
We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.
Max Depree
The most useless are those who never change through the years.
Sir James M. Barrie
Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.
Benjamin Disraeli
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
James Allen
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.
Buddha
Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.
Les Brown
There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do, there is nothing you cannot have.
God from Conversations with God (Book 1) (#ad) through Neale Donald Walsch
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.
Mike Murdock
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.
Socrates
They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.
Benjamin Franklin
By stretching yourself beyond your perceived level of confidence you accelerate your development of competence.
Michael J. Gelb
If you don't program yourself, life will program you!
Les Brown
You were always a better person inside. All you had to do was peel away the layers.
Duane Alan Hahn
Do the deed that you want to have the new thought about. Then say the words that you want to have your new thought about. Do this often enough and you'll train the mind to think a new way.
God from Conversations with God (Book 1) (#ad) through Neale Donald Walsch
Repeat anything often enough and it will start to become you.
Tom Hopkins
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Les Brown
You are everything that is, your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true. You are everything you choose to be. You are as unlimited as the endless universe.
Shad Helmstetter
People do not change with the times, they change the times.
P.K. Shaw
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
Denis Waitley
Everything is perfect in the universe, even your desire to improve it.
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
The world will change for the better when people decide they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way the world is, and decide to change themselves.
Sidney Madwed
Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.
Anthony Robbins (adapted)
People seldom improve when they have no model but themselves to copy after.
Goldsmith
Self-respect is the fruit of discipline: the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Abraham J. Heschel
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
Anatole France
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
Alexis Carrel
People can cry much easier than they can change.
James Baldwin
Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.
Dr. Wayne Dyer
So-called negative feedback is often love in disguise.
Duane Alan Hahn
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
Abraham H. Maslow
I'm a money magnet. Good things happen to me. I get things done. I'm happy. I'm healthy. I'm smart. I'm creative. I'm a nice person. I'm successful. I'm good with money. I'm honest. I'm trustworthy. I'm responsible. I'm wise. I'm easygoing. I'm clear-minded. I'm sober. I'm calm. I'm thankful. I'm satisfied. I'm forgiving. I'm confident. I'm kind. I'm considerate. I'm likeable. I'm friendly. I'm loving. I'm loveable. I'm joyful. I'm playful. I'm full of energy. I'm fun to be around. I'm a good friend. I'm eternal. I'm powerful. I'm a being of light. I'm a spirit wearing a body.
Did you know that Trump's rushed Operation Warp Speed rona jab has less than one percent overall benefit? Some people call it the depopulation jab and it has many possible horrible side effects (depending on the lot number, concentration, and if it was kept cold). Remember when many Democrats were against Trump's Operation Warp Speed depopulation jab, then they quickly changed their minds when Biden flip-flopped and started pushing it?
Some brainwashed rona jab cultists claim that there are no victims of the jab, but person after person will post what the jab did to them, a friend, or a family member on web sites such as Facebook and they'll be lucky if they don't get banned soon after. Posting the truth is “misinformation” don't you know. Awakened sheep might turn into lions, so powerful people will do just about anything to keep the sheep from waking up.

Take a look at my page about the famous demonized medicines called The H Word and Beyond. You might also want to look at my page called Zinc and Quercetin. My sister and I have been taking zinc and quercetin since the summer of 2020 in the hopes that they would scare away the flu and other viruses (or at least make them less severe). Here's one more page to check out: My Sister's Experiences With COVID-19.
Some people appear to have a mental illness because they have a vitamin B deficiency. For example, the wife of a guy I used to chat with online had severe mood swings which seemed to be caused by food allergies or intolerances. She would became irrational, obnoxious, throw tantrums, and generally act like she had a mental illness. The horrid behavior stopped after she started taking a vitamin B complex. I've been taking Jarrow B-Right (#ad) for many years. It makes me much easier to live with. I wonder how many people with schizophrenia and other mental mental illnesses could be helped by taking a B complex once or twice a day with meals (depending on their weight)?
Unfermented soy is bad! “When she stopped eating soy, the mental problems went away.” Fermented soy doesn't bother me, but the various versions of unfermented soy (soy flour, soybean oil, and so on) that are used in all kinds of products these days causes a negative mental health reaction in me that a vitamin B complex can't tame. The sinister encroachment of soy has made the careful reading of ingredients a necessity.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that unfermented soy is the main reason why so many soy-sucking Democrats in the USA seem to be constantly angry and have a tendency to be violent when hearing words or reading signs that they don't agree with. If I unknowingly eat something with unfermented soy in it, I get irritable, angry, and feel like breaking things, so it's not the placebo effect. Scientists in the future will probably find out that unfermented soy can make people angry. We already know that food sensitivities cause mood changes. It took me over a decade to figure out that unfermented soy was affecting my mood. What if millions of people are having a similar reaction to soy and don't even know it? Some people eat it and drink it every day.
I started taking AyaLife (99% Pure CBD oil) as needed in April of 2020. So far it's the only thing that helps my mood when I've mistakenly eaten something that contains soy. AyaLife is THC-free (non-psychoactive) and is made in the USA. I also put a couple dropper fulls under my tongue before leaving the house or if I just need to calm down.
It's supposedly common knowledge that constantly angry Antifa-types basically live on soy products. What would happen if they stopped eating and drinking soy sludge and also took a B complex every day? Would a significant number of them become less angry? Would AyaLife CBD oil also help?
If you are overweight, have type II diabetes, or are worried about the condition of your heart, check out the videos by Ken D Berry, William Davis, and Ivor Cummins. It seems that most people should avoid wheat, not just those who have a wheat allergy or celiac disease. Check out these books: Undoctored (#ad), Wheat Belly (#ad), and Eat Rich, Live Long (#ad).
Negative ions are good for us. You might want to avoid positive ion generators and ozone generators. A plain old air cleaner is better than nothing, but one that produces negative ions makes the air in a room fresher and easier for me to breathe. It also helps to brighten my mood.
Never litter. Toss it in the trash or take it home. Do not throw it on the ground. Also remember that good people clean up after themselves at home, out in public, at a campsite and so on. Leave it better than you found it.
Climate Change Cash Grab = Bad
Seems like more people than ever finally care about water, land, and air pollution, but the climate change cash grab scam is designed to put more of your money into the bank accounts of greedy politicians. Those power-hungry schemers try to trick us with bad data and lies about overpopulation while pretending to be caring do-gooders. Trying to eliminate pollution is a good thing, but the carbon footprint of the average law-abiding human right now is actually making the planet greener instead of killing it.
Eliminating farms and ranches, eating bugs, getting locked down in 15-minute cities, owning nothing, using digital currency (with expiration dates) that is tied to your social credit score, and paying higher taxes will not make things better and “save the Earth.” All that stuff is part of an agenda that has nothing to do with making the world a better place for the average person. It's all about control, depopulation, and making things better for the ultra-rich. They just want enough peasants left alive to keep things running smoothly.

Charlie Robinson had some good advice about waking up normies (see the link to the video below). He said instead of verbally unloading or being nasty or acting like a bully, ask the person a question. Being nice and asking a question will help the person actually think about the subject.
