Finally I know how to lose weight. If I just breath slower between bites of my Philly Cheesesteak, the pounds will melt away. Having a global warming and a fatty post on the same day may cause AWD to have a brain aneurism. I can’t wait for the flurry of fatty pictures to follow.
People can diet, work out, track their calories and do everything right—but still not lose weight. Most people are misled and told how easy it is to lose weight–just take this pill, follow that diet or buy this piece of equipment and the pounds will melt off.
Whenever anyone talks about weight loss, we usually get a fragmented picture of what is necessary to reduce the ever-increasing plague of obesity. Why is it so difficult to lose weight even when eating very little?
“If you haven’t been able to lose weight and you can’t understand why, you need to determine whether there’s a medical condition underlying your weight problem,” says Dr. Peter LePort. Dr. Rebecca Kurth, says, “When you live with anxiety, stress, or grief, your body can produce chemical substances — like the hormone cortisol — that make your body more likely to store fat, especially around the waist. If your thyroid is underactive, your body may not produce enough thyroid hormone to help burn stored fat. As a result, your metabolism is slower and you will store more fat than you burn — especially if you’re not physically active.” Dr. Ken Fujioka, says, “It’s very common for medications to cause weight gain.”
Humans are getting taller, fatter, and even living longer but not as healthy beings—as sick suffering beings. Being overweight is a disease. Obesity is a disease that happens before we get a potentially long list of other diseases starting with metabolic syndrome or dysmetabolic syndrome, formerly known as Syndrome X, and then diabetes, which eventually leads to vascular and heart disease and cancer. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of insulin resistance, leptin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypertension and high triglycerides. Obese people generally have hyperinsulinemia (high levels of insulin in the blood) and insulin is a fatty storage hormone.
Overweight and Obesity-Related Health Problems:
- Coronary Heart Disease
- High Blood Pressure
- Stroke
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Abnormal Blood Fats
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Cancer
- Osteoarthritis
- Sleep Apnea
- Obesity Hyperventilation Syndrome
- Reproductive problems
- Gallstones
- Health problems in children and teens
If contemporary medicine does not address obesity in a more complete way there will be no way of stopping any of the epidemics in chronic disease. In the UK, the proportion of adults with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) decreased between 1993 and 2012 from 41.0% to 32.1% among men and from 49.5% to 40.6 % among women.
There was a marked increase in the proportion of adults that were obese between 1993 and 2012 from 13.2 to 24.4 among men and from 16.4% to 25.1% among women. More than one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese according to information from the CDC.[1]
Since 1980, overweight rates have doubled among children and tripled among adolescents – increasing the number of years they are exposed to the health risks of obesity.
According to the New York City Department of Health, 43% of public elementary school students are overweight and 76% of New York City children are not getting the recommended five daily servings of fruit and vegetables. The CDC states that the primary behaviors causing the obesity epidemic are well known and preventable: physical inactivity and unhealthy diet.
According to a study published in the journal Lancet the number of overweight and obese people globally increased from 857 million in 1980 to 2.1 billion in 2013. This is one-third of the world’s population.[2]
Overweight people can be suffering from gross malnutrition because the nutritional values of the basic foods we eat have been steadily dropping for the last fifty years even as toxic exposures increase. Fiber intake tends to be much lower in obese people meaning they are eating too many processed white foods with not only the fiber removed but also most of the vitamins and minerals.
Magnesium and Weight Loss
White foods are poisonous and can never satisfy because they do not provide the basic nutrition, and especially the magnesium that the body desperately need. Obese people are suffering from malnutrition and specifically from massive magnesium deficiencies. Studies do show that the calorie-adjusted magnesium intake in obese children was lower compared with lean children. Hypomagnesaemia (serum magnesium 0.78 mmol/l) was present in 27% of healthy lean children and 55% of obese children.[3]
Dr. Carolyn Dean says, “Food craving and overeating can be simply a desire to continue eating past fullness because the body is, in fact, craving nutrients that are missing from processed food. You continue to eat empty calories that pack on the pounds but get you no further ahead in your nutrient requirements.”
Dr. Dean also said, “The stress chemical cortisol signals a metabolic shutdown that makes losing weight almost impossible. It’s as if the body feels it is under an attack such that it must hoard all its resources, including fat stores, and won’t let go of them under any inducement. Magnesium can effectively neutralize the effects,”
Another cause of magnesium deficiency is over-medicating with synthetic pharmaceutical drugs approved by the FDA and prescribed by doctors. They prevent the body from absorbing magnesium. It is a cruel reality that diabetics are prescribed medicines that further reduce their magnesium reserves putting them into a fatal tailspin. That is one of the basic reasons I consider the FDA to be one of the most appalling organizations in the world. They prey on sick people and make them sicker.
Vitamin D has co-factors that the body needs in order to utilize vitamin D properly. Magnesium is the most important co-factor for vitamin D. Researchers have shown that there is a connection between vitamin D and weight loss.
Correct Breathing and Higher Oxygen Levels are Crucial
Stress management is one of the most important keys in fighting obesity and slow abdominal breathing is important because it brings the oxygen levels up so more fat can be burned. People often wonder why they cannot lose weight and keep it off and one of the most central reasons is that they do not have enough oxygen. The lack of adequate oxygen and low metabolism will add pounds no matter what or how little we eat. Overweight people, like cancer patients, need to slow their breathing down, which will increase concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood. This can be accomplished with the use of a breathing training device called the Breathslim.
Exercise with Oxygen Therapy
Everyone knows how important exercise is for losing weight but few know that adding intensive oxygen while exercising cubes the results. Higher oxygen levels and higher carbon dioxide levels (created with exercise) lead to high metabolism. My book Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy explains why extra oxygen can help no matter what health challenge one is facing. Exercisers are less likely to die of their cancers than non-exercisers. The same medical principle is in operation with weight loss especially when you add oxygen to the mix.
Iodine and Metabolism is another Crucial Key
I just have to say it. The Natural Allopathic protocol is perfect for losing weight. Iodine and thyroid function is another important ingredient to a sane weightless program. An estimated 30 million Americans are thought to have difficulty losing weight because of thyroid problems and iodine deficiencies get in the way. If the thyroid, which is the primary regulator of your body’s metabolism does not function properly people will have an extraordinary time losing weight.
Conclusion
The Natural Allopathic Medicine protocol will assist anyone who is trying to lose weight and keep it off. Infrared treatments will also go a long way in helping to increase body temperature and metabolism, shifting the body to literally burn more calories. Moreover, with the BioMat one can do this even while one sleeps making weight loss easier and more comfortable. I would suggest those who are interested in weight loss read my essays on gastric diseases

I had a small pot of fresh ground coffee when I woke up, went out and did chores and came in for breakfast- a grilled 3 pound sirloin tip and a pound of fresh picked green beans split with my son.
Now we go back out and work until dark. We take fruit off the trees or the bushes when we get hungry during the day.
Whole roasted chicken, fresh dug potatoes, huge salad and cherries and blueberries for desert will be on the menu tonight. We usually fall asleep before we get the urge for a late night snack, so there’s that too.
Magnesium YES.
Here’s my story. Some 14 years ago, my new doc had the habit of checking you BP every time you went in. Mine was a modest 140/90. Still, he gave me Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, it slows the heart rate and thus lowers BP. Trouble is, it didn’t work for me but he said keep taking it, it’ll kick in. It didn’t but what DID kick in was atrial fibrillation. REAL BAD. I ended up in hospital multiple times.
I suspected the beta-blocker but my Doc brushed me off. Told me not to stop taking it, otherwise my BP will skyrocket.
So for years, this thing messed up my life and I couldn’t take the rat poison (blood thinner) because I was over-reacting to it.
I weaned myself off of the Metoprolol slowly and within 3 weeks I went from 2 to 3 attacks a week to none for a whole month. My Doc was horrified,, go back on the beta-blocker. So, one pill later and I have a major attack within 5 minutes. From there, the AF came back with a vengeance and stayed, despite not taking any more of the Metoprolol. Thanks Doc.
Much research later and a Mayo Clinic study revealed that magnesium helped with heart arrhythmias. So I began taking it up to my tolerance level. This stuff makes you real regular but I didn’t care because almost immediately, I felt different. A month of that and from 2 to 3 attacks a week, I had none for a whole month. I went back to my Doc and finally, he went to his big book and there it was, WAY down on the bottom of rare but possible side effect to beta-blocker,,,, arrhythmias. His reaction was to smile, close the book and walk out the door. Thanks Doc.
There are triggers for AF attacks, binge drinking, eating large meals, coughing, laughing, sneezing, any alcohol at all, even small meals, the valsalva maneuver,,,,, all related to the gut, your stomach.
There are three mechanisms that control your heart rate. If you cut out a bit of heart tissue from a living, beating heart, that little piece will continue to pulse until it dies. Every cell of your heart has this characteristic. That’s what keeps you alive when you’re in a coma.
The second mechanism is the fight or flight response, adrenalin which is also produced when you exercise. This raises the heart rate to deliver the extra oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. This is what beta-blockers interfere with.
Once you no longer need a fast heart rate, post exercise or when your nasty boss leaves you alone, the vagus nerve takes over to lower your heart rate to a resting level.
All of this works in a delicate balance with feedback mechanisms in place to make it all work properly. When you subvert one of these mechanisms, like the adrenal response with a beta-blocker, this can lead to trouble for some people.
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of biochemical processes in the body including muscle function and heart rate. It also has a strong buffering action in the stomach , Milk of Magnesia for heartburn etc.
We have a local gastro-enterologist who’s a great guy and will give you time to talk if you want. As it seemed that the stomach is much involved with AF, I gave him my hypothesis as to how magnesium worked for me. Feedback from the stomach through the vagus nerve to the heart. Almost immediately, he declared that I was on to something. So I suggested that he, a gut guy, a cardiologist and a neurologist get in a room with me with my medical record and my story and with the 3 disciplines involved with this condition, they could come up with a much better understanding of AF and advance the science beyond giving people blood thinners to prevent clotting and a possible stroke.
His response floored me. He said that 30 years ago, we could do that but today, “they” won’t let us. Before I could ask who this they was, his secretary walked in with an urgent matter and that was that.
So, thanks to modern medicine, I acquired a life threatening condition for which they have no answers short of open heart surgery. That’s the maize procedure where they open you up, put criss cross cuts on your heart and the resulting scar tissue prevents the errant signals from doing their damage.
So, no thanks to modern medicine, I found a cure, 10 dollars worth of magnesium a month versus a 100,000 dollar operation with none of the risks associated with the latter.
So,,, I still have hypertensions and it’s been as high as 200/120. I’ve tried all of the classes of drugs and they all give me serious debilitating side effects, extreme nausea and fatigue.
Worried? damn right I am and I’ve done the diet and exercise thing to no good effect. Then I came across this. http://www.liveinthenow.com/article/the-salad-combination-that-lowers-blood-pressure
Related to the heart healthy Mediterranean diet, a combination of high nitrate foods, like leafy greens, celery carrots and unsaturated fats in olive oil, nuts and avocado, when eaten together, produces nitro fatty acids that suppresses an enzyme responsible for raising blood pressure.
I eat healthy salads but only add a little vinegar and salt, avoiding the oil to reduce fat intake. Well, lo and behold, adding generous amounts of olive oil did the trick. My BP dropped from the typical, 170/100, down to 150/75,,, amazing. No drug EVER worked that well for me. But it only lasts for an hour or so.
Then I hit on the idea of making green smoothies with the respective ingredients. That worked much better as you can drink this at breakfast to start your day. But that only lasts for 2 to 4 hours. Still, it gives your battered system a break from the damaging effects of hypertension.
Recently It was found that I had low potassium levels, another trigger for hypertension. This lead me to find sources of same and the best and easiest to use, (not bananas) is a salt substitute, potassium chloride. A teaspoon full gives you your MDR of 3 to 5 grams a day. I began taking a spoonful a day in a glass of water to up my levels. Yuk. The really interesting thing here, is that liberally sprinkling potassium on my peanut butter sandwich ALSO dropped my BP 30 points on both numbers where just the potassium didn’t. This also only lasts 3 hours or so but still, what’s going on THERE?
I came across all of this just a few weeks ago and I’m still experimenting. Like my cure for AF, I may find something easy to do that keeps my BP in check. It’s not perfect but far better than it was.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
PS,
More is better, right? No. I ended up adding TOO MUCH olive oil to the smoothies and this gave me nausea and fatigue. ???? The same reaction as the hypertension drugs. ???? Now I use just one tablespoon of oil per 10 ounce smoothie and have no side effects.
Oh yes, more on heart health.

Pico-Ionic Magnesium
Directly to the cells.
http://drcarolyndean.com/2012/09/pico-ionic-magnesium/
pietro, thank you for sharing. It was the doc’s meds that nearly killed me with no help from them, and, in fact, they had me double down on the drug that was filling my lungs with fluid and slowly starving my body of oxygen.
Please, please, please, try other natural oils. Coconut has short chain fatty acids that are desperately needed by our bodies along with dozens of other good health issues.
Did you know, pietro, that having too little salt and too little natural fat in your diet directly leads to stiffening of your arteries and veins and higher blood pressure?
I’ve added many natural oils to my diet, along with full fat milk, cheese, eggs, red meat and done nothing else and lost 10 solid pounds of belly fat. Which is considerable for my size (I’m a short little thing, 5’1″ and about 128 today). I lost weight by adding fat and less than 5 minutes a day of extra movement. Literally.
I try and use a good selection – based on the oil’s properties – to my diet. In order by frequency of use; Coconut, butter, peanut, grapeseed, avocado, red palm (replacement for baking/butter), red meats more frequently.
Everytime you consume carbs your body screws with your insulin resistence. The American diet of high carbs – even recommended by the government – and low real fats is what is killing most of us.
Congrats on finding your magnesium problem. I would find a good supplement for your potassium, I take about 3 capsules a week (every other day). The only daily supplements I take are magnesium, 25 mg of zinc (for sweating and body odor, works better than Secret), selenium (heart), and now B vitamins because thanks to stress I fear my adrenals are exhausted. Then a few times a week, as my diet directs me, I take potassium (potatoes are a great source btw), chromium (helps to break down bad fats), iodine (always needed, I paint on a Lugol’s solution), vitamin C or D (totally contingent on my citrus/tomato/sun intake). Oh yeah, my apple cider vinegar/raw local honey/cinnamon tonic too. But that is enjoyable, delicious and 100% needed for my allergies and other chemical sensitivities.
If my diet were as pure as HSF’s, I think I would have little need for my supplements. But, sadly, I live in the world where that is just not possible. At least not possible in my home.
Teresa,
When I say to someone: Eat fat to lose fat..they look at me like I have three heads.
The damage done via misinformation and disinformation will take decades to correct.
This helped me a lot!

Thank you all for the generous and helpful hints. Yes to coconut oil. In fact the medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil can be used by the brain for energy. And some that suffer from dementia have found that this helps a great deal. The hypothesis is that the brain is no longer getting glucose or is unable to utilize it effectively and brain function falls.
Here’s the kicker. It’s been recently been found that the BRAIN produces INSULIN. It appears that the level of sugar that the blood has must be kept in an extremely narrow range for the brain to function at its optimum. Diabetics have a far higher rate of dementia and Alzheimer’s than the general population, ALONG WITH heart disease.
The good news is that there are food companies that are responding to the kinds of things we’re talking about. As more demand grows with greater awareness, the industry responds to get our food dollar. Free Enterprise, YES.
A good example is that now you can buy soda water. JUST water and carbon dioxide. Now, you can also get a low sodium version. What’s in that? Normally they put in just a bit of salt to mimic the taste you might get from the minerals in spring water. But if you’re salt sensitive related to hypertension, they don’t want to lose that customer so in the low sodium version, there is in fact, NO sodium chloride but what they use is POTASSIUM chloride. Sodium chloride is not bad for you, in fact, it’s ESSENTIAL but too much is the problem particularly in regards to your potassium to sodium ratio.
We also have available, fruit juice that has but ONE ingredient, the juice of the fruit and NOTHING ELSE. Locally I can even get WILD blueberry juice and it’s great. JUST sweet enough, but what I do is add 25% of natural juice to 75% of the carbonated water. It tastes just like sodie pop (like Yosemite Sam would say) without the high fructose corn (GMO) syrup along with NO brominated vegetable oil.

Projecting Evil Onto Russia
Projection is a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people. People defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others. A spouse may be angry at their significant other for not listening, when in fact it is the angry spouse who does not listen. When we project our own ego patterns, feelings or motives onto others, we are accusing them of something or seeing something in them that is really truer of ourselves.
Projection is usually the result of a lack of insight and acknowledgment of one’s own motivations and feelings. American leaders have no self-insight and do not acknowledge their own evil motivations, not in public at least, so they love to project whatever they want and we see this in full display in their recent attacks against Russia. The projection of one’s negative qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life and lately the American government and media are taking this process to a height perhaps never seen before.
Projection is the mis-attribution of a person’s undesired thoughts, feelings or impulses onto another person who does not have those thoughts, feelings or impulses. Sometimes, in what can be considered a semi-projection we see in others something that is true in them and in us at the same time. Now though there is much to love about Russia no one is saying their government is saintly but they have stopped their massive assault on the world of others while America is pushing as hard as it can to obtain full dominance over everyone in the world they possibly can.
Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. In the case of American and English officials and the media conglomerates that back them, it is not just difficult feelings and emotions it is outright outrageous insanity. Paul Craig Roberts, an official from the Regan administration says it this way, “The kind of reckless lies and transparent propaganda that comprises The Economist’s story has no other purpose than to drive the world to war. The Western elites and governments are not merely totally corrupt, they are insane. As I have previously written, don’t expect to live much longer.”
Those very crazy people in Washington are risking life on planet earth with nuclear war and they are so crazy and sick that they do not care. I remember when I was younger looking at the ugly unhappy faces of communist leaders. Now I see those former monsters reincarnated on American leader’s faces but they are much better at smiling thus hiding their evil. Murderous monsters they are so much so they must hate their own children because they risk having nuclear warheads drop on their heads. Sick stupid bastards is a description that only warms us up to what they really are.
Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings. Those who hold the reins of power in the west would rather die than admit or even perceive their feelings of aggression and tendency to murder others as something that is unwanted. Just the opposite. They want to kill. They want to destroy.
Roberts writes, “The extraordinary propaganda being conducted against Russia by the US and UK governments and Ministries of Propaganda, a.k.a., the “Western media,” have the purpose of driving the world to war that no one can win.” This is the same as saying that their purpose is to risk hundreds of millions if not billions of lives. Obviously there are people who want to do this even if their own children die in the process.
This transformation of America into a place where evil rules the roost in Washington and on Wall Street has taken over a century and has been implemented in such an incremental manner as to be mostly imperceptible to the public at large. It began with the creation of the Federal Reserve which is a privately owned central bank owned by multi-century banking families. Evil is not new in the world but today it is taking outrageous proportions killing people right and left with modern sophisticated weapons.
Chris Martenson writes, “For reasons that have no rational explanations at this time, the US and Europe have embarked on a concerted program to demonize Putin, ostracize Russia, and bring the world as close to a major conflict as it’s been since the Cold War, a time hardly memorable to many in the current crop of our elected officials. Within hours of the MH-17 plane crash, the United States pinned the blame on Russia generally, and Putin particularly. The anti-Putin propaganda (and if there were a stronger term I’d use it) has been relentless and almost comically over-the-top. Nearly two weeks later, neither the US nor Europe has provided substantial evidence of any sort to support their assertions that Ukrainian separatists and/or Russia are to blame for the MH-17 catastrophe. There’s literally been nothing.”

Few people in the west understand the danger. Rob Kerby says, “The chaos is planned because the architects of the chaos are the globalists. The globalists have a little saying: ‘out of chaos will come order.’ So, what they do is whip up animosity and fear and play groups off of one another. The goal of the globalist, ultimately, is to have one world government, one world currency and one world religion. The whole idea of globalism is to first round countries into regional blocks and then merge the blocks into one super country. These people have contempt for humanity, and they have stated their contempt for humanity. They want to reduce the world population by something of a factor of 80-90%. These globalists have taken control of the U.S., Canada, most of Western Europe and the United Kingdom. These people are dangerous, and these people are seemingly taking the work to the brink.”
These people are serious and have built an expensive monument toward their goals. They are seriously evil and extremely rich and can hardly be called human.
On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.
THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature and obviously, their chosen method is to kill off the rest. Not exactly nice people. It would, of course, be a good idea for humanity to learn how to limit population growth and learn to live within the means of the resources we have on our planet.
