    Great video, Doc! Foods that can boost the immune system include: 1. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, are rich in vitamin C, which enhances immune function. 2. Leafy greens like spinach and kale provide antioxidants and vitamins that support immune health. 3. Garlic has compounds that can help fight infections and strengthen the immune system. 4. Yogurt, rich in probiotics, supports gut health, which is closely linked to immune function. 5. Almonds and sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps the body fight off infections. 6. Green tea contains antioxidants and polyphenols, which boost immune activity. Incorporating these nutrient-rich foods into your diet can help strengthen the body's defenses.

    Ty as always for all the info! Love seeing the tea backstory. Would also love a deep dive on healing the microbiome, antibiotics and superbugs like c diff. And what probiotics you’d recommend. Liquid Bio-K Plus has been the only thing that seems to help me heal from multiple bouts of c diff but it’s taken years of daily use. Wish I wasn’t so dependent on it, but I’ll get inflammation if I miss just 1 day. I’d like to understand it better! Also why my inflamed gut can’t handle uncooked vegetables and vitamins in general.

    From NASA's Interdisciplinary Guide on Radiation Biology for grades 9 through 12 - Module 3: Radiation Countermeasures, "...Dietary countermeasures...when ingested by an astronaut, may have the potential to reduce effects of ionizing radiation...The first group includes specific nutrients that prevent the radiation damage. For example, antioxidants like vitamins C and A may help by soaking up radiation-produced free-radicals before they can do any harm. Research has also suggested that pectin fiber from fruits and vegetables, and omega-3-rich fish oils may be beneficial countermeasures to damage from long-term radiation exposure. Other studies have shown that diets rich in strawberries, blueberries, kale, and spinach prevent neurological damage due to radiation..."

    I love and make saurkraut and kimchi but for fresh eating my favorite salad is quite simple: red cabbage (green is good to, just not as pretty) shredded finely, fresh lemon juice to taste (I like it quite tart), a little olive oil, nigelle seeds, celery seeds, salt, hot peppers of choice or a good fermented hot sauce (home made is best and easy to make) and any additional veg you like. I like shredded carrots and some chopped peppers. Oh and also some small cauliflower flowerettes. Let it macerate overnight. It is tangy and delicious. And makes my gut super happy ❤

A colleague of mine’s father was a nuclear physicist that would say you get more radiation from microwave foods than from nuclear energy facilities. He would not eat microwaved foods. I told him I thought that radiation levels from microwave ovens were probably at safe levels in this day and age. Thank you for another awesome presentation ❤😍👍😎

    As all Yanks I grew up on milk chocolate sugar bars. Years later the sugar dangers became known. Doing a little research I learned that the later known American colonies were first organized for mass production of sugar for Europe,! ! Cotton came mu h later. And the American addiction to sugar is s European curse which never went away. I now enjoy chocolate milk with neither chocolate nor milk! I prefer dutched cocoa powder from Anthony's Goods with almond drink ("milk") with a smidgen of sucrose (sugar) or Allulose to take off the bitter edge of the cocoa powder. This is probably far closer yo the original cocoa ancestral indigenous drinks. The next time a European criticizes you for the internationally known American sweet tooth, simply point your finger at them and say, "It's all your fault. You bad bad bad,!"
