The following is my health- and
nutrition- related advice that I would give in regard to how to boost your
natural immunity against Covid-19 and other coronaviruses.
This article is an explanation of
why I believe that reducing your intake of harmful foods and drinks (such as
acidic drinks, sugars, alcohols, breads, fungi, animal products, and what I call "gastronomically acceptable forms of edible feces") will
lead to a lower risk of cancer, and make it easier for your body’s immune
system to fight-off viral and bacterial infections.
3. Artificial Sweeteners, Feces, Cheese, Antibiotics, Coffee, Alcohol, and Cancer
3a. Artificial Sweeteners, Shit, and Cheese
Aspartame is found in artificial
sweeteners like Equal and NutraSweet and some sodas.
Aspartame is made from genetically
modified e. coli bacteria. E. coli is the bacterium which is found in human feces.
E. coli bacteria excrete sugar. Bacterial
excretion is the equivalent of taking a shit.
So basically, an E. coli bacterium
(which is found in shit, and essentially is shit), takes a shit (when it
excretes sugar), and we are putting that sugar into our drinks as artificial
sweetener.
Some shit took a shit and you decided to drink it. You're drinking the shit of shit.
Have you ever looked at the list of
ingredients in the cheese that you eat? We all know cheese is mostly made of
milk. But did you ever wonder what the “enzymes” in cheese are? It’s shit. The
enzyme is rennet. Rennet comes from colostrum, which is extracted from young
cows' intestines. This requires the death of the calf. Cheese contains rennet,
which comes from tortured animals; therefore, cheese is not vegetarian
or vegan. Vegans should not be eating cheese. It contains milk mixed with edible
shit. Cheese is a brick of shit-milk.
You're eating shit.
3b. Shit, Probiotics, and Alcohol
Sure, this shit - like cheese, products containing aspartame, and the types of probiotics found in yogurts and Kombuchas, such as lactobacillus - is edible.
And it’s not always bad to eat bacterial excretions, as long as your body can
handle it. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria.
Just remember that taking too much
alcohol with probiotics, and/or taking alcohol too soon after taking probiotics,
will kill both the good bacteria and the bad bacteria in your system. Also,
remember that any probiotics you take while on antibiotic medications might be
rendered ineffective.
You’re eating shit. But we tell ourselves it’s OK to eat a little
shit. It is, only as long as we don’t mess with our immune systems.
Alcohol is bad for you because the liver breaks most ethanol down into alcohol dehydrogenase (A.D.H.), which later becomes acetaldehyde, which is a toxic carcinogen.
[Note: It was previously reported here, inaccurately, that "alcohol breaks down into sugar and acidizes your blood"; however, alcohol does not break down into sugar, and does not have a noticeable effect on the pH level of the blood.]
Also, alcohol is a deadly neurotoxin that can cause shutdown of the medulla oblongatta (the control center of the heart and lungs), leading to respiratory collapse and death.
You're killing yourself with alcohol.
But on the other hand, alcohol does have a legitimate medical use - i.e., dulling pain - and other benefits.
Alcohol, marijuana high in cannabidiol (C.B.D.), and even opioids (including heroin) have legitimate medical uses; i.e., dulling pain (for example, during painful medical procedures such as surgery). That is why the F.D.A. should consider none of these substances to be Class I in the drug schedules under the Controlled Substances Act; because Class I is supposed to be reserved for drugs that have no medical uses.
So while alcohol has negative health effects, it can dull pain. The fact that beers have been fermented, makes them great alternatives to water, when the local water supply is tainted (something that Europeans in the 1300s discovered in response to the Black Death from the plague outbreak).
Alcohol also kills bacteria. And the chemical resveratrol - a polyphenol that protects the lining of the heart - is in some wines. The wines that have the highest concentration of resveratrol are Malbec, Petite Sirah, St. Laurent, and Pinot Noir.
If you want resveratrol, but don't want to drink alcohol in order to get it, then you can buy capsules of resveratrol at the pharmacy without a prescription. Just make sure that the pills don't contain gelatin, if you're a vegan and seek to avoid animal products. Gelatin comes from the boiled connective tissue (such as cartilage, fats, and bone) of animals.
3c. Antibiotics and Bacteria, vs. Antivirals and Viruses
Remember that antibiotics are
only effective against bacteria; not against viruses. That’s because
bacteria are living organisms; while viruses are more like zombies.
Viruses are not exactly dead, because
they’re made of genetic and biological material, but they're not alive either because they
can’t reproduce without a host. Any hand sanitizer or handi-wipes container
that you see plastered with “kills viruses” is scientifically inaccurate,
because viruses cannot be killed, only neutralized. They were never alive to
begin with.
Additionally, those sanitizers may be "effective against" viruses, but that's most viruses. It usually says "99.9% or "99.999"%" effective. The repeated application of 99.9% effective hand sanitizers, leaves one bacterium alive out of every thousand or ten thousand, which can result in mutation of those strongest bacteria in a way that causes them to become stronger and more deadly.
Antiviral drugs combat viruses; while antibacterials and antibiotics combat bacteria. Antibiotics are not effective against
colds and flus, because the cold and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria; while bacteria replicate differently from viruses and have
different structures.
Taking antibiotics, instead of antiviral drugs, when you have a
viral infection – and don’t need antibiotics – can cause you to have increased resistance
to antibiotics (meaning you could develop bacterial infections more easily).
It's possible that the overuse of antibacterial hand soap and sanitized wipes, for the purpose of disinfecting surfaces of possible cold and flu viruses (when those things are for bacteria, not viruses) - and the overuse of antibiotics against viral infections of the lung and throat (which can cause additional bacterial infections) - have given many of us antibiotic resistance.
Many lives could be saved if cheap antivirals are more widely available, and their instructions made clearly understandable on the packaging.
You’re messing with your immune
system.
3d. More on Artificial Sweeteners
Returning to the topic of artificial
sweeteners:
Another common artificial sweetener is
dextrose, which is commonly found in candies. Dextrose is chemically identical
to glucose, and therefore can lead to dangerously high blood sugar.
Nutritionists debate whether
diabetes is caused by high sugar intake or high fat intake, but it seems fair
to conclude that both are contributing factors, since refusal to reduce
sugar intake will prevent the body from burning fat for fuel instead of
continuing to burn sugar (and carbohydrates, which break down into glucose).
You’re giving yourself diabetes.
Another common artificial sugar is sucralose,
which is found in the sweetener Splenda. Sucralose contains three chlorine
atoms; it is a chlorinated sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than sucrose.
Consuming sucralose can lead to
leaky gut, I.B.S. (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or Crohn’s disease.
You’re drinking chlorine.
Drinking too much juice, instead of
eating the fruit that it comes from, can lead to your blood having too high a
concentration of sugar. This can cause fatty liver disease, in the same way
that alcohol can cause the same disease.
Taking in large amounts of alcohol
and sugar puts a strain on your liver, the poison processing organ.
You’re giving yourself fatty liver
disease.
Drinking too much juice, alcohol,
and coffee (even if the coffee is loaded with milk) can also make your stomach acid and your blood too
acidic.
Those with acid reflux should be cautious about drinking too much acidic (low-pH) drinks. Those who have acid reflux should use antacid tablets (for example, Tums) in order to avoid throwing their stomach acid's pH level too low.
The pH level runs from 0 (the most acidic)
to 14 (the most basic or alkalinic). The pH level of water is about 7. The pH
of human blood is about 7.35 to 7.45 (slightly basic).
Drinking milk (6 - 6.9), coffee
(4.85 to 5.1), and juice (3.3 to 4.2) can throw your body into a state of acidosis.
In Southern Italy, it is customary
to serve a glass of water in between two cups of coffee. This is probably not
as necessary in Northern Italy because it is not as hot there, and thus there
is less of a need in Northern Italy for relief from the dehydration which salty,
hot coffee tends to bring in the warmer climate of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you drink coffee, remember that
diluting it with milk – and/or having a glass of water afterwards – will help reduce
the degree to which the coffee acidizes your blood.
In fact, adding a teaspoon of baking
soda - fresh baking soda, not baking soda from the back of the refrigerator
– will instantly neutralize the acidity of your coffee.
When it comes to coffee, don’t worry
too much about the pH of your stomach acid, though, as that’s supposed to be
between 1.5 and 3.5. Juices like orange juice (3 to 4 on the pH scale) – and acidic alcohols (beers are around 4 while others range from 2.5 to 10) - are the only common drinks that are acidic enough to worry about (that is, unless you
have a sensitive system or are worried about ulcers).
[Note: Not all acidic foods and
drinks have an acidizing effect on the blood, but most do. A notable exception
is the lemon, an acidic food that has an alkalinizing effect on the pH level of
the blood. However, diet doesn't significantly affect the pH level of the blood.]
You’re giving yourself acidosis. (This refers to a blood pH level less than 7.35).
3e. pH Levels, Sugar, and Cancer
pH level measures the amount of hydrogen ions in a solution. "pH" stands for "potential hydrogen".
The scale runs from 0 to 14, with acidic liquids near 0, water in the middle at 7, and alkalines at 14.
The ideal pH scales for your stomach acid, your blood, and your skin, differ depending on your gender. The ideal pH of human blood is between 6.8 and 7.8. The ideal pH of the stomach acid is between 1.5 and 3.5. The ideal pH of the skin is around 5.5.
The ideal pH level of the reproductive system depends on gender. The pH of the inside of the vagina can be higher than 4.5 after a woman becomes menopausal.
The research of Otto Warburg suggests that a diet rich in foods and drinks which have an alkalinizing effect on the body could reduce the risk of cancer cells surviving.
In 1931, the Nobel Prize in Physiology
or Medicine was won by Otto Henrich Warburg. Warburg studied cellular respiration,
and observed that cancer cells “live in hypoxic, very low oxygen, and acidic
conditions…”.
Warburg continued by adding that
cancer cells “derive energy from sugars by fermenting them the way yeast does”.
Warburg became well-known for showing that cancer thrives in high-acid
environments.
Although there is no evidence that giving cancer more sugar decreases the cancer, having a lot of sugar in your system makes it available to be used to supply energy (from blood glucose) to the cancer cells. Additionally, sugar has been linked to esophageal cancer.
You’re giving yourself cancer.
Eating a lot of sugar will make your
mouth a more acidic environment than normal. This probably increases susceptibility
to diseases transmitted by mouth, because acids wear away at the lining of the
digestive tract (which includes the inside of the mouth).
High blood sugar levels, and the
weakened immune system which results from them, can increase your
susceptibility to developing oral thrush. Leukemia, H.I.V., and taking
antibiotics can also increase your risk of developing thrush (which can affect
the tongue, and appears as white lesions).
[Note: Oral thrush is caused by an
overgrowth of the fungus candida albicans, small amounts of which can
live in the mouth without harm; but which can also develop into worse infections, especially if a person has cancer or an immune deficiency.]
You’re giving yourself oral thrush.
Go brush your tongue.
3f. Salty and Spicy Foods
It’s not just sugars, juices, and
alcohols that are acidic. Salty and spicy foods are acidic too. So are most
animal products (although the pH level of meats can range between 6 and 12).
If you want to reduce your risk of developing
oral thrush, cancer, and bacterial and viral infections, then by all means, limit
your intake of salty, spicy, and sweet foods that erode at the lining of your tongue and mouth.
Sour, sweet, and spicy foods tend to
be acidic. Bitter foods tend to be alkalinic.
That covers four of the five types
of tastes; the fifth is savory (or umami), like the primary taste
characteristic of meat.
Which brings us to animal products.
4. Animal Products and Pets
Some soaps contain animal fats, as sodium
tallowate is found in tallow soaps.
Sodium tallowate a fatty acid salt.
It is created through the mixing of animal fat with lye (sodium hydroxide).
Have you ever stopped to think about
what using animal fat containing soaps could be doing to your complexion? Think
about it: You are trying to get rid of the excess bacteria, grease, and lipids
(fats) off of your face, to make your skin clean. And you do this by smearing
your skin with animal fat!? How could this do anything but make your skin more
susceptible to bacterial infection?
Some soap is even made of lard, or
rendered beef fat.
In 1918, during the Spanish Flu pandemic,
the Indian company Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. (GCPL) became the first company
to make soap from vegetable oil instead of animal fat.
Vegans and vegetarians should not
be using soaps that contain animal tallow. If you want your skin to smell nice,
and clean your skin, then I have no idea why you’d turn to animal fat
instead of flowers. There are companies that make soap from coconut oil, the
oil extracted from rose petals, and other plants and flowers.
Just make sure that the soap doesn’t
contain ascorbic acid that’s derived from the black mold Aspergillus niger.
You’re smearing your skin with
animal fat.
Additionally, Aspergillus niger - or black mold - has been known to cause schizophrenia.
Remember in early 2020, when a lot
of us thought that Covid-19 became a disease that human beings could get,
because it had supposedly jumped the species barrier from bats to humans (or
from bats, to snakes, to humans)?
Well, it turned out that a video
watched by millions – of a woman eating a bat – was not from China, but was
from Palau, and was filmed several years prior to the outbreak. Moreover, if
the virus did not originate from a laboratory, then it’s more likely
that it jumped the species barrier through snakes instead of directly
from bats to humans. That’s because there are more people who eat snake (which
eat bats) than there are people who eat bats.
Even though it’s looking, now, more
like Covid-19 came from Wuhan Virology Institute, rather than a sketchy fish
market in China, we can still learn something from this.
That lesson is that the more
types of animal you eat, the higher your chance of contracting a food-borne
pathogen that could cross the species barrier over to humans.
Remember how the commonly accepted explanation
of the origin of H.I.V. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the virus that causes
A.I.D.S.) in humans? Scientists theorized that someone cut his hand while
chopping up an infected monkey for sale in illicit African monkey meat markets. Proximity to animal meat, with an open wound, is said to have allowed the transmission of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (S.I.V.) to humans.
All of this goes to show that vegan and vegetarian diets - and reducing your consumption of, and proximity to, animal meats - while avoiding cross-contamination, can help reduce the risks of food-borne illnesses.
You’re shoveling too many different
types of animals down your throat.
This seems like as good a time as any to mention that pastoral cultures,
medieval living conditions in Europe, and households with several pets, but
people in close proximity to animals. Remember that even if you’re not eating
animals, you can still get diseases from living with them.
The bacteria Toxoplasmosis gondii
dwells in cat urine. If enough cat urine is present in your house, then you should
be worried about this bacterium infecting your bloodstream. This problem has
become so prevalent that some people have even expressed concern that this
bacterium could be re-wiring the brain of the host (i.e., the cat owner
or “parent”) to be a subservient slave of the cat.
Don’t forget that cats will eat
your dead body after you die. Dogs will wait longer, after you’re dead, to
eat your corpse, but they will still do it.
Have you ever let a dog lick your wrist,
and then after that, you noticed that your wrist itches? I have. Maybe I’m
sensitive to dogs, but the allergy test I took when I was eight years old didn’t
detect that.
My explanation? Dogs’ saliva
contains enzymes that help them digest food. Dogs are tasting us;
probably so they’ll know what we taste like after we’re dead.
You’re letting your cat make you
into a slave, and you’re letting your dog eat you before you’re even dead.
On the other hand, eating animal
products can be good for you.
If you’re experiencing a sugar crash
– or trying to prevent or delay a sugar crash or sugar spike in your bloodstream
– then eating meat can help.
Having meat in your system causes
fats to be present, which your body will burn for fuel (especially when there
is little to no sugar around to be burned for that purpose).
Since the lowest-pH meats tend to be
the sweetest and most acidic, alkalinic meats would probably be the most
helpful to prevent a sugar spike. The most alkalinic prepared meats are smoked
kielbasa, followed by regular kielbasa, followed by sausages and hot dogs.
[A note on sugar: It couldn’t hurt
to drink a glass of water when experiencing a sugar spike. It will help dilute
the sugar in your bloodstream, and bring the pH level back up towards 7. Take a
glass of water after eating candies (especially hard candies and powdered
candies) as well.]
Also, cutting meat out of your diet means
that you will need to find another source of B-12. If you don’t get some form
of animal-product-based protein (at least one egg per week), then you need
alternative sources of Vitamin B-12 (also called cobolamin). Animal product
sources of B-12 include eggs, milk, cheese, and yogurt.
You can get B-12 without using
animal products; from foods that have been fortified with it, such as cereals,
grains, and granola. But be warned that fortified foods can cause decreased
absorption of micronutrients in people who are taking prescription medications
for heart and thyroid problems.
You’re depriving yourself of B-12.
More information can be accessed in the 2005 film Earthlings, produced by Joaquin Phoenix. The film explains why veganism - or, at least, reducing our meat consumption - is an important path to living longer.
