Dietitian Kirsten Jackson follows the Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest ways to eat.
She shared her go-to dinners with Insider, which she often cooks in bulk to save time.
Jackson’s meals generally include olive oil, lots of vegetables, and complex carbs.
The Mediterranean diet is widely considered one of the healthiest ways to eat.
The diet prioritizes vegetables, legumes, seafood, olive oil, and wine in moderation, and leans away from processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, added sugars, and saturated fats.
Registered dietitian Kirsten Jackson follows the Mediterranean diet because research suggests it reduces the risk of multiple health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

When it comes to dinner, Jackson is all about convenience.
Here, she shares her go-to Mediterranean diet dinners with Insider.

“I run a business so dinners have to be practical,” she said. “I am not a huge fan of spending hours in the kitchen unless it is to bulk cook something.”
Jackson has three rules for creating meals: All food is cooked in olive oil, vegetables make up 30-50% of the plate, and carbs are always “brown.”
Jackson always eats brown or whole grain carbs rather than white because they contain more vitamins, minerals, and fiber than other bread options. This means she chooses brown bread, brown rice, and whole grain pasta over white.
“Wholemeal foods have been linked to reduced risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease,” Jackson said.
She also uses olive oil rather than other cooking fats because it is high in polyphenols and remains stable when heated. Polyphenols act as antioxidants and fight free radicals that are linked to inflammatory conditions like cancer.

Pan-fried sardines with oven-baked vegetables
Pan-frying sardines only takes a few minutes, and baking vegetables is simple too, she said, so it’s one of her go-to meals.
“Baked vegetables are the easiest side dish. You simply cut up a lot of root vegetables like beetroot, squash, potatoes, onions, and courgette, coat them in olive oil, and pop into the oven for about 35 minutes,” Jackson said. If you’re short on time, you can buy pre-chopped packets of vegetables.
Sardines are a good source of omega-3s and eating a variety of vegetables provides Jackson with prebiotics which feed her gut bacteria, as well as fiber which reduces her risk of high cholesterol.

Peanut butter chickpea stir fry with wholemeal noodles
Jackson makes a quick and easy stir-fry by combining canned chickpeas and a frozen stir-fry vegetable packet.
“Stir-fry sauces are usually really high in salt and sugar so I like to make my own,” Jackson said.
To make enough sauce to serve three to four people, she mixes together one tablespoon of peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, and one tablespoon of soy sauce.
Pizza with a whole wheat base, plus salad. Like many people, Jackson and her family like getting takeout over the weekend, and their food of choice is pizza.
Jackson opts for a whole wheat base, and she makes her own salad on the side to up her vegetable intake, she said. Read the original article on Insider.

A dietitian who follows the Mediterranean diet shares her 5 go-to snacks  
Story by rhosie@insider.com (Rachel Hosie) • 2h ago

Kirsten Jackson, a dietitian, follows the Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest ways to eat. She shared her go-to snacks, which provide fiber and protein to keep her feeling full.
Jackson recommends chocolate oatcakes with peanut butter instead of cookies.
The Mediterranean diet is widely considered one of the healthiest ways to eat.
Vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil are key components of it. 
Wine is OK in moderation, but processed and fried foods, red meat,
refined grains, added sugars, and saturated fats are discouraged.

5 Mediterranean diet salad recipes that are filling and delicious, by a dietitian
The Mediterranean diet is widely considered one of the healthiest ways to eat.
A balanced salad contains protein, carbs, and fats as well as fruits and vegetables.
Dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine shared five Mediterranean-inspired salad recipes.
⁣Whether or not you follow the Mediterranean diet, knowing a few healthy salad recipes can be super handy, especially in the warmer months.
The Mediterranean diet is widely considered to be one of the healthiest ways to eat, thanks to its links with heart health and a lower risk of various diseases including Parkinson’s and diabetes.
It focuses on vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil, wine in moderation, and minimal amounts of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, added sugars, and saturated fats.
When it comes to building a satiating salad, you need more than just a few lettuce leaves and chopped tomatoes. Dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine, who aims to eat a Mediterranean-style diet, told Insider a balanced salad should contain the following components:

Carbohydrates 
These are our body’s main source of fuel, Ludlam-Raine said. She recommended choosing higher fiber and wholegrain options where possible, such as quinoa, wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta, or wholemeal pitta. ⁣
“I personally like the mixed grains in the microwavable bags for my salads,” she said.

Vegetables, salad, and fruit
Ludlam-Raine recommended aiming for two handfuls of produce, for example a handful of salad leaves, crudités, roasted vegetables, or pomegranate seeds. 
“The greater variety of plant-based foods in your diet, the better your gut microbes will be, which means better physical and mental health,” she said.

Protein
“Whether it’s animal or plant-based, protein is digested slowly and helps to keep us fuller for longer,” Ludlam-Raine said.
Good sources in salads include chickpeas, feta cheese, mixed beans, hummus, chicken, edamame beans, and salmon, she said.

Fat
“Fats provide some of the essential fatty acids our body can’t make itself and help to absorb fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K,” Ludlam-Raine said.
To get a source in your salad, try adding a handful of olives, mixed seeds, flaked almonds, a dollop of pesto, or a drizzle of rapeseed or olive oil, she said.

The diet is hugely popular, including with celebrities such as John Goodman, Selena Gomez, and Penélope Cruz.
Kirsten Jackson, a registered dietitian, previously told Insider that she followed the Mediterranean diet, sharing her favorite breakfasts, lunches, and dinners on the eating plan.
When snacking, Jackson aims to eat whole foods that provide protein and fiber, often incorporating fruit or vegetables.
Here, she tells Insider about her go-to snacks.  

Roasted chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a good alternative to chips, Jackson said.
They are a great source of protein and fiber, she said, and are easy to make: Simply drain canned chickpeas, pour them into a baking tray, drizzle them with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and spices. Then bake until crisp.  

Homemade trail mix
Jackson makes her own trail mix by combining dark chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.
Dark chocolate has multiple benefits, including boosting heart health. 

Apple slices with peanut butter
Apple slices with peanut butter are a satiating snack thanks to a combination of fiber, fat, and protein.
Having nuts or nut butter alongside fruit is much more filling than fruit alone, a dietitian previously told Insider.  

Vegetable sticks with hummus
If you don’t have time to chop carrots, peppers, cucumber, or celery, Jackson recommends buying precut vegetables.
Combining veggies with hummus makes the snack more filling than vegetables alone.  

Oatcakes with peanut butter
Jackson also snacks on oatcakes with peanut butter. She aims to always eat complex carbohydrates — such as oats, sweet potatoes, brown bread, and whole-grain pasta — because they contain more vitamins, minerals, and fiber than refined carbs including white bread, potatoes, and pasta.
If you’re craving cookies, Jackson recommends looking out for chocolate oatcakes to help satisfy your sweet tooth too.

This is Social Communism

Jordan Peterson, RFK Jr. Speak Out After YouTube Censorship (newsweek.com)

YouTube has removed a Jordan Peterson podcast from its site 

In which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that the rise in transgender youths was in part a product of exposure to chemicals. On June 5, the Democratic presidential candidate told the controversial media commentator that he thought the “sexual dysphoria” seen in children, particularly boys, was because they were “swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals.”
He was speaking in response to a question from Peterson which likened a so-called “climate apocalypse” narrative of global warming to the use of fear in imposing coronavirus lockdown measures.
Kennedy Jr., the son of the assassinated senator, has long been known as a vaccine skeptic and has previously spoken out about his opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

A spokesperson for Google, YouTube’s parent company, told Newsweek the 95-minute podcast was removed for violating the platform’s terms of service regarding vaccine misinformation.

During the discussion, Peterson claimed that vaccine mandates had
“pushed forward the use of fear” and had “demoralized young people to a degree that’s almost incomprehensible.” The Biden administration maintains that lockdown measures and vaccine mandates were necessary to protect public health.
The Canadian psychologist added: “I’ve seen the climate apocalypse [narrative] use fear to induce something approximating the same kind of level of tyranny as far as I’m concerned that characterized the vaccine lockdowns.”
ASKED ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON THIS, KENNEDY JR. SAID THAT HE SAW “THESE HUGE LEVELS OF DEPRESSION AND DESPAIR, LONELINESS IN KIDS,
AND I DON’T THINK THAT THERE’S A SINGLE CAUSE TO IT. I THINK BLAMING IT ON DEPRESSION ABOUT [THE] CLIMATE IS PROBABLY OVER-SIMPLISTIC.”

However, he added: “In fact, I think a lot of the problems we see in kids—and particularly boys—it’s probably under-appreciated how much of that is coming from chemical exposures, including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that we’re seeing.”
The presidential candidate said such children were “being overwhelmed by a tsunami; they’re swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today and many of those are endocrine disruptors.”
Endocrine disruptors are organic or synthetic chemicals that interfere with the body’s production of hormones, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences lists atrazine, a common herbicide, as one.
Kennedy Jr. said atrazine was “throughout our water supply,” before claiming that if put in a tank with frogs, “it will chemically castrate and forcibly feminize every frog in there and 10 percent of the frogs—the male frogs—will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs. “If it’s doing that to frogs, there’s a lot of other avenues that it’s doing to human beings as well,” he speculated.

While this was confirmed by 2010 study at the University of California, Berkeley, which said that exposure was highly correlated with “low sperm count, poor semen quality, and impaired fertility” in humans, it noted that the chemical was “most potent in amphibians” as frog skin “absorbs atrazine at a much higher rate than the skin of mammals.”
Its mention echoes that of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan wrote. In one widely-seen video, Jones claimed that the government was putting chemicals in the water that were “turning the freaking frogs gay.”

A June 2022 study by the UCLA Williams Institute found that in the U.S., the number
of transgender individuals has “remained steady over time” as a proportion of the wider population, but that a transgender individual was “more likely” to be aged 13-17 than
65 or over.

However, some academics have said using studies such as the one on atrazine’s effects on frogs paints LGBTQ+ individuals as contrary to natural norms and “as deviant, impure or contaminated.”
On Sunday, Kennedy Jr. told his Twitter followers that the conversation had been “deleted” by the video platform, but thanked Elon Musk, the owner of the social media site, for continuing to allow it to remain up there. He asked them: “Should social media platforms censor presidential candidates?”
He accused YouTube of “blatant interference in the electoral process” and urged his supporters to make videos on the platform voicing their anger towards the decision.
A Google spokesperson said: “We removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTube’s general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities.”

In another recent podcast with Joe Rogan, Kennedy Jr. lamented the apparent
injuries that he was anecdotally aware of that he said had been caused by the vaccine.
Others have accused him of spreading disinformation about vaccines.
While anti-vaccine campaigners have pointed to cases of vaccinated people developing sudden and inexplicable illnesses, health officials say that adverse effects of coronavirus vaccines have only been found to be rare occurrences.
The World Health Organization says that vaccines are “very safe” and many of the adverse effects are minor, with the most serious events occurring in between one per thousand to one per million cases. It adds that there are “so few deaths can plausibly be attributed to vaccines that it is hard to assess the risk statistically.”   Big pharma owns the world.

Mar 9, 2023 · All the President’s Tax Increases Biden’s budget wants $4.7 trillion more of your money and still grows federal debt by $17 trillion. According to the organization, Americans for Tax Reform, there are 4.7 TRILLION proposed new taxes in President Biden’s FY 2024 Budget Proposal.

 The Green Book estimates that Biden’s proposed tax platform would raise more than 
$4 trillion in net revenue over the next 10 years—though that figure comprises roughly
$4.7 trillion in total tax increases offset by slightly more than $700 billion in tax cuts. 
This proposal will fundamentally change America as we know it.

It comes as the latest polls show the Democratic candidate maintaining his second-place spot, continuing to average mid-teens support among primary voters.

The latest Harris survey, conducted between June 14-15 for The Messenger, put him
on 14 percent behind a strong incumbent president on 54 percent of 381 registered voters.
Kennedy Jr. is being trailed by Marianne Williamson on 5 percent, who is slightly down on recent poll showings. With Joe Biden removed, though, the Harris poll suggests Kennedy Jr. would still only attract 34 percent to Williamson’s 14 percent.

The Barack Obama ‘Comeback’ Has Started (msn.com)

Obama privately met with AOC and other Democrats during a series
of reported intimate chats with House Democrats

Story by bgriffiths@insider.com (Brent D. Griffiths) 

Obama is reportedly keeping tabs on the Democratic Party’s rising stars.
According to Politico, the former president held a series of group chats over the spring.
The former president is trying to balance his role without overshadowing Biden.
Former President Barack Obama privately met with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other House Democrats, a sign that while Obama stays largely quiet about day-to-day political matters he continues to closely follow what’s going on.
According to Politico’s Jonathan Martin, Obama has recently hosted a series of “informal, but lengthy private meetings with groups of next-generation House Democrats.” The private chats have featured lawmakers from across the political spectrum, ranging from Ocasio-Cortez to Reps. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Haley Stevens of Michigan.

 One of the topics of dinner conversation, per Martin, was how Democrats can avoid coming off as elitist. In response, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s push to remove college degree requirements “was discussed” along with freshman Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s portrayal of her background as a millennial auto shop owner. 
Obama initiated the idea himself, according to Politico, as a way to continue to build ties with his party’s younger leaders. 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also attended one of the larger gatherings. 
Obama’s calendar hints at the difficulty that former presidents often face. Martin reports that Obama wants to be deferential to President Joe Biden, his former vice president, but one of the attendees of the private gatherings points out that Obama could help his party with a larger public presence. 
Before the 2022 midterms, Obama returned to the campaign trail where he tore into the Republican Party and Trump. It is likely that Obama will eventually take on a high-profile role as the 2024 campaign heats up. It remains to be seen if his presence will be comparable to former President Bill Clinton in 2012. As president, Obama also dubbed 
Clinton “Secretary of Explaining Stuff” for his campaign trail appearances.

Make Your Own Luck

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Ken

Five principles for making the most of life’s twists and turns. – Bing video

People who spot and seize opportunity are different. They are more open to life’s forking paths, so they see possibilities others miss. And if things don’t work out the way they’d hoped, they brush off disappointment and launch themselves headlong toward the next fortunate circumstance. As a result, they’re happier and more likely to achieve their goals.

Their open-mindedness turned a strange moment into a lucky break.
Psychologists are figuring out why some people always seem to juggle incredible opportunities. Their insights can help us all lead luckier lives.

1. See Serendipity Everywhere
Luck is hard to study, and yet scientists have uncovered the startlingly large role chance plays in love and work. We are more like pinballs bouncing around a machine than captains at the wheel. Certain types of people are well suited to this fact of life.

Elizabeth Nutt Williams, a psychology professor at St. Mary’s College in Maryland, found that chance was a significant factor in shaping the career paths of thirteen professional women she studied. Women who take advantage of happenstance have competence, self-confidence, and the ability to take risks. They also have a strong support system. And a North Carolina State University study found through interviews with 42 engineering workers that job tips often come from unlikely sources in unexpected situations.

Richard Wiseman, a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire and author of 
The Luck Factor, spent a decade researching people’s perceptions of their luck. He found that those who call themselves lucky score higher on the personality factor of extraversion. That means that they are more likely to have a fortuitous encounter because they meet lots of new people and keep in touch with a large group of friends and acquaintances. These advantaged souls also score higher in openness, and lower in neuroticism, the tendency to experience negative emotional states like anxiety, anger, guilt, and depression.

Wiseman conducted an experiment in which he placed the same chance opportunities—money on the ground and a potential encounter with a connected businessman—in the paths of two different people, one who claimed she was an unlucky person, the other who said things always seemed to work out well for him. The “lucky” guy immediately noticed the money on the ground and pocketed it, then struck up a conversation with the businessman in the coffee shop where he’d been planted. The “unlucky” woman, meanwhile, stepped right over the cash, and sipped her coffee without saying
a word to the same businessman.

2. Prime Yourself for Chance
Serendipity smiles upon people who have a more relaxed approach to life. They have clarified their long-term goals but don’t worry too much about the details. Rather than aiming to become the top cardiac surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, they vow to be a doctor who helps save lives. Once they’ve pinpointed the ultimate destination, they believe there are many different ways to get there. This requires openness to life’s surprising twists and turns as well as cognitive and behavioral flexibility. 

An open person heads to the dog park thinking he might encounter a potential new friend, business partner, or romantic interest. A closed person sees only dog owners. “Don’t classify people and situations in advance,” advises Wiseman. “Wait until you know what’s in front of you.”

You can increase your opportunities for good luck by maintaining a large network of friends and acquaintances. Increasingly these days, the best opportunities float online,
so make sure you’re connected. Case in point: Marketing expert Shel Horowitz grabbed a chance to lecture in Davos, Switzerland, after noticing a LinkedIn search for conference speakers.

Cognitive flexibility can be cultivated, too. To limber up your own brain, try thinking about different points of view on a single topic. Maybe you have a firm belief that underwater homeowners don’t deserve a bailout. If that’s the case, try to come up with 10 reasons it might actually be a good idea.

3. You can also learn to behave more elastically.
Flexible people often respond to the same stimuli differently than do rigid types.
They might take varied routes to work, or stop at out-of-the-way places for a cup of coffee, rather than heading to their favorite cafe for “the usual.” Exploring new territory naturally increases good fortune.

“Do something different,” says Ben Fletcher, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. It doesn’t even need to be meaningful to your goal. Trying to get a date? Read your neighbor’s newspaper, switch seats on the train, or watch a new television program.

Breaking behavioral habits can lever changes in mental habits that have kept you from success so far. “People’s lives can be absolutely transformed by being nudged along a slightly altered route,” says Fletcher.

Could Loss of the Y Chromosome Help Speed Cancers in Men?

By HealthDay

WEDNESDAY, June 21, 2023 (HealthDay News) — It’s common knowledge that loss
is a part of male aging — loss of hair, loss of muscle tone, loss of vision or hearing.

What’s to blame for certain cancer outcomes? New studies confirm: sex matters.
But men growing older also start losing the very thing that makes them biological males, their Y chromosome, and that can leave them more vulnerable to cancer, a new study says.

The loss of the Y chromosome can help cancer cells evade detection by the body’s immune system, according to researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in Los Angeles.

Healthiest Communities in the U.S. (usnews.com) View All 29 Slides
A colorful panoramic Autumn Day view of a small foothill neighborhood,
as seen from North Table Loop Trail. Denver-Golden-Arvada, Colorado, USA.

Specifically, it results in more aggressive bladder cancer among men,
the study authors reported June 21 in the journal Nature.

“This study for the first time makes a connection that has never been made before
between loss of the Y chromosome and the immune system’s response to cancer,”
said researcher Dr. Dan Theodorescu, director of Cedars-Sinai Cancer.
“We discovered that loss of the Y chromosome allows bladder cancer cells to elude the immune system and grow very aggressively,” Theodorescu said in a medical center news release.

It’s not all bad news, however. Bladder cancers driven by the loss of the Y chromosome also were more vulnerable to immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are drugs that enhance the body’s ability to target and destroy tumor cells, the researchers explained.

Each human cell normally has one pair of sex chromosomes. Men’s cells
have one X and one Y chromosome, while women have two X chromosomes.

Y may disappear with aging
However, aging men can lose the Y chromosome from some cells during normal cell division. Investigators have found the Y chromosome missing from some white blood
cells in about 40% of 70-year-old men and 57% of 93-year-olds, according to Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. In some older men, more than 4 out of 5 white blood cells can lack a Y chromosome.

Loss of the Y chromosome has been observed in several cancer types in men, including 10% to 40% of bladder cancers, Cedars-Sinai researchers said in background notes.
It has also been associated with heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

The Y chromosome contains the blueprints for certain genes. The Cedars-Sinai research team studied the way these genes are expressed in normal cells in the bladder lining, and used that to develop a scoring system that could measure the loss of the Y chromosome in bladder cancer.

The investigators then reviewed data on two groups of men with invasive bladder cancer. One group had their bladders removed but were not treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, while the other group received the immunotherapy.

Patients with loss of the Y chromosome had a poorer prognosis in the
first group and much better overall survival rates in the latter, the findings showed.
To figure out why this happens, the team performed lab experiments involving bladder cancer cells in mice.

The researchers found that mouse tumor cells lacking the Y chromosome.
Grew at a much faster rate than did tumors with the intact Y chromosome.

However, this only happened in mice with intact immune systems. In mice missing a type of immune cell called T-cells, tumors with and without the Y chromosome grew at the same rate.

“The fact that we only see a difference in growth rate when the immune system is in play is the key to the ‘loss-of-Y’ effect in bladder cancer,” Theodorescu said. “These results imply that when cells lose the Y chromosome, they exhaust T-cells. And without T-cells to fight the cancer, the tumor grows aggressively.”

“Fortunately, this aggressive cancer has an Achilles’ heel, in that it is more sensitive than cancers with an intact Y chromosome to immune checkpoint inhibitors,” said co-lead researcher Hany Abdel-Hafiz, an associate professor at Cedars-Sinai Cancer.

Preliminary data not yet published shows that loss of the Y chromosome can also make prostate cancers more aggressive, Theodorescu said.
“Our investigators postulate that loss of the Y chromosome is an adaptive strategy that tumor cells have developed to evade the immune system and survive in multiple organs,” said Shlomo Melmed, dean of the medical faculty at Cedars-Sinai.

“This exciting advance adds to our basic understanding of cancer biology
and could have far-reaching implications for cancer treatment going forward.”
Further research is needed to better understand the genetic connection between
loss of the Y chromosome and T-cell exhaustion, the study authors noted.

“If we could understand those mechanics, we could prevent T-cell exhaustion,” Theodorescu said. “T-cell exhaustion can be partially reversed with checkpoint inhibitors, but if we could stop it from happening in the first place, there is much potential to improve outcomes for patients.”

While women do not have a Y chromosome, Theodorescu said these findings could have implications for them as well. The Y chromosome contains a set of related genes on the X chromosome, and these might play a role in both women and men.

“Awareness of the significance of Y chromosome loss will stimulate discussions about the importance of considering sex as a variable in all scientific research in human biology,” Theodorescu said. “The fundamental new knowledge we provide here may explain why certain cancers are worse in either men or women, and how best to treat them. It also illustrates that the Y chromosome does more than determine human biologic sex.” The post Loss of Y chromosome in aging men fuels cancer: study appeared first on Talker.

Several molecular technologies, including next‐generation sequencing and multiplex PCR‐based assays, are used to detect mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in the blood of men. Accumulating evidence suggests that mLOY represents the most common acquired chromosomal alteration in humans, affecting >40% of men over 70 years of age. Advanced age, tobacco smoking, and some SNPs in cell cycle genes are known to increase the frequency of mLOY. 

The developmental process of mLOY in elderly men remains to be clarified, but it possibly reflects recurrent mitotic elimination of Y chromosomes or clonal expansion of 45,X cell lineages. In rare cases, mLOY also occurs in young men and fetuses. MLOY has been associated with early death, cancers, and other disorders in elderly men, infertility in reproductive‐aged men, and developmental defects in children.
The longitudinal progression of mLOY varies among elderly men. 9  Thus, mLOY is likely to be enhanced or suppressed by various environmental and genetic factors. Of these, tobacco smoking represents the major risk factor for aging‐related mLOY. 5 
Since the frequency of mLOY in current smokers was significantly higher than that in former smokers, 10 , 24 the effect of tobacco smoking on mLOY appears to be reversible. In addition, several environmental factors, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
air pollution, heavy drinking, and obesity, have been linked to the risk of mLOY. 3 
Yet, the significance of these factors needs to be confirmed in future studies.

Multiple SNPs in the genome have been associated with the risk of aging‐related mLOY. 3 , 11 , 17  These SNPs include variants in genes involved in cell cycle regulation, tumor growth, and cancer susceptibility. These SNPs may facilitate Y chromosomal loss during mitosis or clonal expansion of 45,X cell lineages. In addition, structural alterations of the Y chromosome have also been linked to the risk of mLOY.
In particular, large deletions on the Y chromosome are frequently coupled with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. 25 , 26 However, our study indicated that common copy‐number variations in the azoospermia region at Yq11 do not increase the frequency of mLOY. 27

Put Your Shirt back On

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Ken
She Defies Gym Norms: Refusing to Put on a Shirt and Ignites a Debate – 
Is she breaking the rules or taking a stand for body acceptance?

A woman asked an online community, “am I the a**hole?” for refusing to put her shirt back on in the gym. Taking Control Of Her Body. The woman decided to join a gym earlier in the year and has made great progress already. “I’ve lost 18 lbs so far and while I still have 93…Taking Control Of Her Body.The woman decided to join a gym earlier in the year and has made great progress already. “I’ve lost 18 lbs so far and while I still have 93 lbs before I reach my goal, I’ve already gained so much strength and confidence in my body.”

Treated Unfairly.
The woman doesn’t believe she should be treated differently because of her body shape. “I’m 5’7″ and 255 lbs. I know I’m big but I don’t think it should really affect how I dress.
I get sweaty at the gym and the one thing worse than a sweaty bra is a shirt that sticks to you because of sweat.
My gym also doesn’t have air conditioning on a low enough temperature
for me to avoid getting like this. For reference, my gym doesn’t have a dress code.”
She often Removes Her Shirt. Because of the no air-con situation, the woman often finds the gym too hot. “As a result, I’ve opted to just go in my sports bra and leggings or shorts for most of my workouts. Today was chest and back, and I wore my bra and shorts combo. No cleavage is showing, no underwear is peaking out above the shorts, it’s what a lot of the other girls I’ve seen at the gym wear. I’m going through my workout, and by the time I get to the bench press, I notice some people in the corner giving me the side-eye.”
Hypocrites.She explains that other gym-goers opt for the same outfit choice. “I try to ignore them and turn up my music, but I can still see them just staring at me unhappily.
I finish a set when one of the girls in the group approaches me & asks me to put on a shirt. She states that it’s unsanitary. I say that I wipe down all the equipment before & after use. She says it doesn’t matter and that I needed to be more polite to other gym members.”

She Knew It Wasn’t About Sanitization.

A Woman is asked to “put a shirt on” and be respectful
because no one wants to see THAT in a public place.
Story by Sylvia Silverstone • Jun 4

Gym is a powerhouse for building muscles, boosting confidence, and, of course, shedding lots of sweat. It’s not uncommon for fitness enthusiasts to opt for minimalistic outfits to ensure maximum comfort during their intense workout sessions. 

In a now-viral TikTok, however, one woman who sported a baby blue top to combat sweat at the gym was met with objection from another woman, who felt the need to confront her and firmly ask her to be “respectful” at this public place.  

Awkward Encounter  
In a brief 28-second clip that starts with the backdrop sound of “I can’t believe
I got this on video,” TikToker Kylen Suttner (@kylensuttner) is seen at the gym taking
a break from her workout and simply minding her own business. TikTok | 16.4M Likes. 356.4K Followers. 💌kylensuttnerbiz@yahoo.com

The woman, in a firm tone, says, “Your top.

She goes on to explain to Kylen, “We’re in a public place.

Can you be respectful?”   

Too Stunned To Speak  
Kylen, taken aback by the request, responds in disbelief, “Are you kidding me?”
The woman reaffirms her stance, saying, “No. We’re in a public place.
Do you not see everyone around you? No one wants to look at your b..bs hanging out.” 
She then asks the woman to leave her alone politely, saying “I’m fine thank you”
but gets met with the response. “Well, I don’t think you are. Put a shirt on next time.”

Brad Ryan and Grandma Joy

93-year-old Ohio grandma overcomes loss, illness to inspire social media with world travels. Story by Amanda Lee Myers, USA TODAY

📷 USA TODAY Eye-opening experience’: Grandmother visits every U.S. national park with grandsonUnmute0 – Bing video 📷

Joy Ryan has survived the death of her husband and all three of her sons, a severe illness in 2008 and a recent bout with COVID-19. She has outlived so many friends and family that she has lost count. That may be why, at age 93, Ryan is living life more fully
than most people half her age.

Just last month, Ryan – who goes by Grandma Joy – became the oldest known person
to visit every single one of America’s 63 national parks. Along the way, she has ziplined in West Virginia’s New River Gorge, gone whitewater rafting in Alaska, rolled down 100-foot sand dunes in Colorado and survived a moose charging in Montana.

HEALING OLD WOUNDS
Ryan does all her adventuring with her 42-year-old grandson,
Brad Ryan, a veterinarian who has documented their travels on 
Instagram on an account called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip.

“I’d be sitting on the front porch crocheting if it wasn’t for him,”
Grandma Joy said as she sat next to Ryan. The pair’s travels together began in 2015 after they’d been estranged for a decade over a family dispute stemming from what Ryan said was his father’s adultery. It was a college classmate’s suicide that inspired Ryan to reach out to his grandmother, who he said is the one who taught him love of nature and adventure.

He had learned that Grandma Joy had never seen a mountain or the ocean and
decided it was time for that to change.
“I called her, and I said, ‘Do you want to go see your first mountain?’
Her answer was: ‘What time are you picking me up?'” Ryan said. “A lot of grandparents, they’d have answered like: ‘Are you kidding me? I’m 85. Go camp with somebody your own age. She said, ‘Absolutely, I will go.'”

The two drove through the night to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
arriving at 2 a.m. in a rainstorm. They set up a tent but struggled with the air mattress.
As they were blowing up the air mattress, the plug came out. Grandma Joy crawled underneath it to help set things right. “And then I couldn’t get out, and I said, ‘It’s like
one of those Laurel and Hardy movies,’ and then I laughed,” Grandma Joy said.

“We finally got that figured out, and then when I got up on the doggone thing,
I kept falling off. So I said, ‘Enough of this crap, I’m sleeping on the ground.’
So that’s what I did. And it was a fun weekend, it really was.”
Not only did Grandma Joy see her first mountain, but she climbed it, trudging
2½ miles up a steep trail that follows the edge of a ridge in sections. 
It was all a bit more exciting than crocheting on the porch.

Health Scare
Since that first trip in 2015, Grandma Joy and Ryan have slowly made their way to every other national park, ending on May 16 with the National Park of American Samoa, nearly 7,000 miles away from home.

She has seen so much that it’s hard to believe she was worried about seeing even the next day amid a health scare in 2008. She had become severely ill and lost weight, and no one thought she had much longer to live.
“I went from one doctor to another doctor to another doctor, and finally I got to the end and I said: ‘This is it, I’m doing no more,'” she said. “My brother came in and I said, ‘Harold, I think I’m going to die, and I don’t care.'”

In a last-ditch effort, Grandma Joy went to Louisiana to stay with her sister-in-law,
a hospice nurse. Though she never was diagnosed, her sister-in-law and some local
doctors began caring for Grandma Joy until, miraculously, she fully recovered.
“I came home and I was still upright and I decided you know, don’t waste anymore days because you don’t have that many more days,” she said. “It just gave me a new lease on life. You live every day, every bit of it, as best you can.”
Grandma Joy began volunteer work, making lunches for and reading to schoolchildren. She also continued to maintain a positive and optimistic outlook on life, and to be generous with her smiles.
“You try to look on the good side of everything,” she said. “And try to give anybody a passing compliment, smile at them. Maybe that’s the only smile they’re going to get all day. You can either be a gloomy Gus or you can smile.”

KENYA AND BEYOND
When Grandma Joy spoke to USA TODAY, she was just getting over a bout with COVID-19 that hospitalized her for two days. “The doctor said, ‘If you hadn’t had the vaccine, you would have died,'” she said. “I ached all over. It was like somebody beat me with a club. And then I had pneumonia, and I got a blood clot in my leg. … So, I got everything all over at once.”

It’s a good thing, because Grandma Joy has places to go.
Now Grandma Joy is setting her sights on her next big adventure: visiting all seven continents and gazing at the tallest mountain peaks on each of them, starting next month with her third continent: Africa.
“It’s never too late,” Grandma Joy told USA TODAY from her hometown, Duncan Falls, Ohio. “If you only get a week, so what? What would you have if you had just stayed at home that week?”
Next month, she and Ryan will fly to Kenya for a packed eight-day itinerary.
They’ll start by going on a safari at Amboseli National Park, where they hope to have a view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Then they’ll go to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a refuge for critically endangered species like the black rhinoceros.

They’ll then fly down to Maasai Mara National Reserve to watch the great wildebeest migration from the Serengeti before the trip ends at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s orphanage for elephants whose parents have been killed.

“I think that’ll be a really fun trip,” she said.

INSPIRATION
Grandma Joy’s travels with her grandson have gained nearly 90,000 followers on Instagram and counting. Their followers say she has helped them aspire to live more adventurous lives.
“You inspire me, Grandma Joy,” one fan posted recently. “I am 55 and have been inactive way too long. I want to explore, too! Thank you for sharing your adventures.”
Another said that Grandma Joy looks “suffused with joy.”
“I will forever want to be Grandma Joy as I age and I’ve got 40 years to go to get to her age!”
The last mountain Grandma Joy climbed was also her first, but she still hikes when she can. Ryan said he’s so glad they started their adventures when they did so at least she could bag one peak.

“What she taught me is that if you can climb a mountain, go do it now.”

Green tea shot: How should you take this ancient medicine?

Story by Daryl Austin, USA TODAY • Wednesday

Black tea: Nutrition advice from experts (msn.com)

Though green tea has been associated with medicinal benefits in parts of Asia for thousands of years, America’s wide embrace of the holistic advantages of the beverage, along with the adoption of other Eastern beliefs and practices such as yoga and meditation, is far more recent. It wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that green tea began making its way into a large number of U.S. restaurants, stores and homes.

Today, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water and can be found in about 8 of 10 U.S. households according to New York City’s Tea Association of the USA. On any given day, over 159 million Americans are drinking tea − with green tea being the preferred type for many.

WHAT IS GREEN TEA?

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning. Green tea is one of more than 1,000 varieties of tea and is a beverage or dietary supplement promoted for improving mental alertness, relieving digestive symptoms and headaches, and promoting weight loss, per the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. It comes from the Camellia sinensis plant − the same plant from which come the other two most popular teas in America, namely black and oolong teas.

To produce green tea, leaves from the plant are steamed, pan-fried and dried.

IS GREEN TEA GOOD FOR YOU?

“Unlike for many botanicals on the market, there are numerous clinical trials demonstrating that regular consumption of green tea has measurable health effects,”

says Carol Johnston, PhD, RD, a professor of nutrition at Arizona State University.

Such benefits include improved brain function, fewer gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, a boosted metabolism, and even reduced bad breath. “Green tea also contains healthy bioactive compounds such as polyphenols,” says Johnston. Polyphenols are natural compounds great for reducing inflammation and chronic disease.”

And green tea is rich in several powerful antioxidants like L-theanine and EGCG,” says Uma Naidoo, MD, director of nutritional and lifestyle psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and the author of “This is Your Brain on Food.” EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, has been shown to reduce inflammation and aid weight loss. And research shows that L-theanine is helpful in relieving stress disorders, improving mood, and getting better sleep. Naidoo says the beverage also “helps with anxiety, protects against cancer and helps reduce body fat − especially around the waist.”

IS GREEN TEA OK TO DRINK EVERY DAY?

The National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, notes that when green tea is consumed as a beverage, it’s “believed to be safe when used in amounts up to 8 cups per day.” Still, green tea does have caffeine in it, a compound known for stimulating the central nervous system.

Drinking too much caffeine can cause insomnia, headaches, dehydration, dizziness and dependency. Green tea has about 28 milligrams of caffeine in 8 ounces of brewed liquid or 19 milligrams in the same amount of a ready-to-drink bottled form, per the Mayo Clinic. That brewed amount is significantly less than the 96 milligrams of caffeine per 8 ounces of brewed coffee, but more than the 22 milligrams of caffeine found in 8 ounces of Cola.

Beyond being careful with green tea’s caffeinated content, it’s also wise to be mindful of empty calories from adding sugar and too many creamers to the beverage, says Naidoo. What’s more, “not all healthy foods agree with everyone’s body and mind because each of us has a unique gut microbiome,” she adds, “but if you like green tea and it agrees with your body and mind, drink a few cups a day and enjoy it.”

Layne Pollard was born on 06/16/1963, his daughter set sights on
climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to celebrate his 60th and fatherhood.
Story by Darcel Rockett, Chicago Tribune

Layne Pollard, of Gurnee, has a trifecta of milestones hitting around the same time. His doggy day care and grooming business, Central Bark, celebrated its 10-year anniversary this month, and he’ll be turning 60 on June 16, just two days before celebrating Father’s Day with his family stateside after having hiked Mount Kilimanjaro’s 19,341 feet in Tanzania.

With his youngest daughter, Jorie Pollard, 26, by his side, Layne is adamant about
not spending his 60th sitting around. So when Layne, an avid hiker, casually mentioned summiting the dormant volcano four years ago to Jorie, another hiking fan, she jumped
at the opportunity.

“I want to turn 60, but feel younger,” said the father of three. “I’m turning 60, but that’s only a number. I know a lot of people say that, but I feel a lot younger than I have over the last number of years now. As it gets closer every day, I just get more and more excited and ready to hit the hiking trails for this big adventure.”

For the past six months, Layne and Jorie, who lives and works in Denver, have been training — with Layne walking steeper inclines on treadmills four to five times a week, working on balance, core strength and upper body strength with a trainer, and with Jorie running once or twice a week and doing long and short hikes on weekends and after work.

“The hike is six continuous days, so if we do 8 miles one day, we’ll probably be doing
7 the next,” she said. “So I’ve been trying to mock what that will look like here, so doing
10 miles one day and then 6 the next and I’ve just been doing that every weekend and
then some extra cardio during the week.”

Jorie has lived in Alaska and Wyoming and hiked the Teton Range in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, as well as Glacier National Park in Montana with her dad.
He said she’s been his hiking buddy since she was 5.

“For a trip, to go do something, she’s always ready to go. She’ll find time, she’ll make a way, she’s always been there,” he said about Jorie. “At a young age, we would take family vacations. We did Colorado Springs when she was about 5 years old, and just walked and walked all day. And then about seventh-eighth grade, we took the family out West and did a Colorado-Utah trip and she absolutely loved it. I think that really opened her eyes to all this.”

Layne instilled his love of the outdoors in Jorie, and Jorie said she and her dad are
looking forward to taking her 3-year-old nephew on his first hiking adventure when
he is old enough. But the Pollards come to it instinctually. Layne’s father, Jerry Pollard of Northbrook, climbed to 14,700 feet when he hiked Mount Everest in Nepal in March 2016.

For Layne, Mount Kilimanjaro will be the highest he’s ever climbed and his most strenuous hike. Normally, his birthdays entail a big dinner with family. But this time around, his love of nature won out. He’s been a fan of nature for the majority of his life.

“It gets you out of your element. … It just changes the mindset, resets you,”
he said, “We’ve gone on vacations in big cities, and you come home and say,
‘That was a fabulous vacation.’ But it’s not the same reset as you get when
you spend a week in the mountains. There’s nothing like fresh air.”

Jorie can relate. She started attending overnight camp at 8 years old and continued
until her late teens. She said that’s where she truly found her love of the outdoors.
With her parents’ encouragement, her adventurous side has thrived. She bought her
dad a shirt from Melanzana Outdoor Clothing to keep him warm on the mountain
as a Father’s Day gift.

“When you start out, it’ll probably be in the 60s and 70s and as we go up, it gets colder,” she said. “My dad was checking the weather; it’s like 28 degrees at the peak, but it has the possibility of being as cold as 5 degrees, so we will most likely be wearing a winter jacket of sorts at the top, just in case it is that cold.”

Layne isn’t afraid of the temperatures; he knows how to dress for the weather.
After all, he’s from Chicagoland. Layne said most of the hike will be done in 30-to
50-degree temperatures, except for the final day, at the top, where the high could
be 21 degrees and the low 10 degrees. The temperature increases again as one
goes down the mountain, ranging from 59 to 63 degrees.

The pair land in Tanzania on Saturday and the hiking begins Sunday.
He said over the first four days, he plans to go from 13,000 feet to about 16,000 feet.
And on the fourth night on the mountain, he and his daughter start their ascent in the dark from 16,000 feet to over 19,000 feet. “The goal is the summit,” he said.
“If I have to push myself, I will push — as long as altitude sickness is not involved. 

The tour guides are not going to let you push through that. It’s too dangerous.
But if it’s body aches, that’s mind over matter. At that point, that won’t stop me.
God willing, we’ll get to the top and we’ll be home on Father’s Day.” 

Layne posted about the trip on his company’s website. What started as something the Pollards didn’t think was that big of a deal is now something special because everybody else thinks it is.

‘An amazing trip’: Gurnee dad, daughter scale Mt. Kilimanjaro and back in time for Father’s Day. He said Central Bark’s clientele are excited for him, as are Jorie’s colleagues and friends in Colorado. The father and daughter intend to share photos, journal and blog posts while trekking, depending on connectivity on the mountain. Jorie will share her images on her Instagram account and Layne will send pictures to his wife, so she can update the Facebook page for Central Bark.

Layne said he will do his best to take it all in and revel in the time spent with his
daughter on this milestone. “Father’s Day is about either your kids being with you
or you are spending time with your own parents,” he said. “And we’ll be home for
Father’s Day to share this whole adventure with my dad.”

As for Layne’s next steps after hitting age 60, he’s already thinking of taking his hiking to elevations of 20,000 feet, possibly Chimborazo in Ecuador. “Let me get through 19,000 feet and let’s see what happens in a year or so,” he said. “My father, at 84, was hiking the route to base camp on Everest, so we have big shoes to follow. If he did this at 84, I have no choice in my own mind that I have to do this at 60.”

Jorie said Layne will push her as much as he’ll push himself. “He’s worked really
hard and I have all the faith in the world that he will have no problem at all getting
up the mountain,” she said.  ©2023 Chicago Tribune. Visit at chicagotribune.com.

Gurnee business owner Layne Pollard and his daughter, Jorie, scaled the 19,341-foot summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in the past week and celebrated Layne’s 60th birthday on the way down.

Their epic adventure, which began last Sunday, ended this weekend just in time for Pollard to be back home for Father’s Day. “It was an amazing trip,” Pollard said in a message from his hotel room in Tanzania. “Our fellow climbers will be friends for life.

The staff of 31 guides, porters, cooks and everyone else were the nicest people who did anything to make our climb successful.” It took five days to trek the mountain and a day and a half for the return. The duo reached the summit Thursday.

The journey wasn’t without its hardships.

The first 4 acclimation hikes were hard but manageable, yet the summit night hike was brutal, Pollard said. “We were hiking at a rate of less than 1 kilometer an hour,” he said. The trip down the mountain was made in two hikes that were “knee smashers,” Pollard said.

“Overall, the week was fantastic, but I have decided there will not be another hike above 19K feet,” said Pollard, who this month celebrated his 10th year as operator of Central Bark doggy day care in Gurnee. For anyone interested, a zoom interview of Layne and Jorie aired on Good Day Chicago on Fox 32 Friday, June 16. Illinois father, daughter

PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR HEALING STORY IN 100 WORDS OR LESS
After many false positives and 3 surgical biopsies, in September 2016 MRI biopsy confirmed DCIS and multi-centric invasive breast cancer, (not one lump but cancer in every quadrant following the ductal line). Three titanium clips were inserted to mark
spots where the tissue was taken.

In January 2017, I went to Arcadia Clinic in Germany for treatment and was given 
Radical Remission to read. I became conscious of all 10 Healing Factors-emotional, spiritual, mental, physical. A pre-surgery mammogram suggested disease regression.
I had done an MRA for preparation for DIEP Flap reconstruction (like an MRI),
but I canceled the scheduled mastectomy and continued my protocol.

10 Healing Factors of Radical Remission

DEFINE
The “10 Healing Factors of Radical Remission” is a list of behavioral and lifestyle changes and actions that all radical remission survivors have used. But before we delve into the list, it’s important to understand what Radical Remission is.
Radical Remission is the term used by Dr. Kelly Turner to describe any cancer remission that is statistically unexpected. 

Radical Remission occurs whenever:
Someone’s cancer goes into remission without using any conventional medical treatment.
A cancer patient uses conventional medicine but the cancer does not go into remission, so he or she switches to alternative ways of healing which do lead to remission.
A cancer patient uses both conventional medicine and alternative methods of healing simultaneously to outlive a statistically dire prognosis. 

Dr. Turner began to research Radical Remission as part of her Ph.D. from
the University of California at Berkeley. She noticed that two groups of people were typically missing from the more than 1,000 cases of Radical Remission already published in medical journals: the survivors themselves and alternative healers.
Dr. Turner traveled to ten different countries, interviewed 20 Radical Remission survivors and 50 alternative healers, and analyzed more than 1,500 cases of Radical Remission. The findings of her research are summarized in the book Radical Remission, a New York Times Bestseller now translated into more than 20 languages. You can read about her ongoing research, including the tenth healing factor and new survivor stories, in Radical Hope, which was released in 2020.

DISCOVER
The 10 healing factors that Dr. Turner found all radical remission survivors to have used are: Exercise, Spiritual Connection, Empowering Yourself, Increasing Positive Emotions; Following Your Intuition, Releasing Suppressed Emotions, Changing Your Diet, Herbs & Supplements, Having Strong Reasons for Living, Increasing Social Support.
The best thing about the 10 Healing Factors is that they can be used safely in coordination with any treatment. Using the 10 Healing Factors  will strengthen your immune system and help you to reduce stress and anxiety. 

DO
Anyone can use these strategies and changes to foster healing and prevent disease.
You do not need a cancer diagnosis to use these factors and benefit from them.
(Note: It is recommended you consult with a naturopath, clinical herbalist or other certified practitioner before adding herbs or supplements to your current treatment protocol.)

Here are some ways to incorporate the list into your routine:
Exercise – Safely increase daily exercise and movement.
Spiritual Connection – Develop a daily spiritual practice.
Empowering Yourself – Take charge of your healing.
Increasing Positive Emotions – Increase positive emotions in your day-to-day life.
Following Your Intuition – Access and strengthen your intuition.
Releasing Suppressed Emotions – you are holding in your body.
Changing Your Diet – Strengthen your immune system by changing your diet.
Herbs and Supplements – Choose supplements that are right for you.
Having Strong Reasons for Living – Identify your strongest reasons for living.
Increasing Social Support – Accept love and support from others.

In December 2018, just over a year after diagnosis, all cancer markers were in the normal range and thermography indicated remission. The Biocept Liquid Biopsy could not be performed because no cancer could be detected. In July 2019 cancer markers increased.

February 2020 PETscan showed recurrence in the breast, though less than the original diagnosis with no cancer where one titanium clip indicated previous malignancy.
It confirmed a liver lesion that has since reduced by 60% in volume measured by ultrasounds. It was noted in MRA pathology report for Plastic Surgeon (for DIEP Flap) in
March 2017 that there was a liver lesion that appears to be the same one I currently have.

The MRA was ordered by the Plastic Surgeon who was looking for something else, so this never became a conversation. If this in fact is the same liver lesion, a mastectomy would not have been recommended as it had already metastasized. This would be more typical of multi-centric cancer that is not contained in a lump. This would mean I am in my fifth year of being Stage 4. I am symptom-free and without having had surgery, chemo, or radiation I have less cancer than when I was diagnosed five years ago.

Kathryn Doherty from Greenwich, Connecticut, USA came to Arcadia-Praxisklinik
in 2016 on the recommendation of her cancer consultant for breast cancer treatments.
Just recently, she was a guest at Arcadia again. She is a regular visitor to Bad Emstal –
as a patient, but also in her work as a dedicated “Arcadia Ambassador” for integrative
cancer treatments in the USA.

Kathryn’s experience with cancer spans over 40 years―as an advocate and caregiver for her mother, father, husband, and most recently as a patient. Her personal experience and the global impact of this disease fuel her commitment to support and engage with those affected by cancer.

 Kathryn Doherty’s personal experiences and the impact of cancer motivated her to get involved. She connects with those affected by cancer and supports them on their journey. To that end, she even trained with Dr. Kelly Turner and is a certified Radical Remission™ instructor, coach and speaker.

In her workshops, Kathryn Doherty talks about the key healing factors. How can healing chances be improved and which measures can you integrate into your own life and how? Current dates and a review of past workshops can be found on her website.

Kathryn Jane Perna Doherty of Cos Cob, CT passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family on January 25, 2022 at the age of 65. She was known for her bright laughter, her deep spiritual life, and as the one who brought everyone together. Kathryn graduated from Greenwich High School and received a BA in Visual Arts from Hampshire College, where she met the love of her life and late husband, Phillip Kurt Doherty. 
Their home was a gathering place for neighborhood children and friends. 

Throughout her life:

Kathryn cultivated her creative talents, including painting and drawing. After working
in Manhattan and Italy, Kathryn and Phillip started the graphic design firm Doherty & Doherty, Inc, and her copyrighted artwork was used on textiles and ceramics. Always a health and nutrition enthusiast, in recent years, she devoted herself to integrative healing, both as a trained practitioner and teacher, leading workshops in the U.S., England, and Germany. Kathryn will be remembered by her many friends for her infectious love of the moment, inspiring positive outlook, and unfailing warmth.

Kathryn was a lifelong resident of Cos Cob, CT, daughter to Edith Jane Gunter Perna
and Francis John Perna, Sr. She is survived by her daughter, Hannah Patricia Doherty
and son in law, Eric Douglas Hubble and grandson, Phillip Francis Hubble of Cos Cob, Connecticut; sister, Anida Perna Mims, brother, John Perna, sister in law Jean; brother, Bill Perna and sister in law, Deanie; sister, Georgette Perna Richards and brother in law, Neil Richards; brother in law, Evan Doherty and sister in law, Ann; brother in law, David Doherty; and many loving nephews, nieces and cousins. A Memorial Service was held on Saturday, February 12, 2022, at 11am at Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home, 31 Arch St., Greenwich, CT 06830.

Can eating too much spinach be harmful to your body.
It seems anything we like to eat is bad for us. I rarely have spinach. and then there is this….I cringe as I devoured spinach even on the day I was diagnosed Study showing oxalates induce breast cancer:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26493452/

We found that all tested breast tumor tissues contain a higher concentration of oxalates than their counterpart non-pathological breast tissue. Moreover, it was established that oxalate induces proliferation of breast cells and stimulates the expression of a pro-tumorigenic gene c-fos.

We found that the chronic exposure of breast epithelial cells to oxalate promotes the transformation of breast cells from normal to tumor cells, inducing the expression of a proto-oncogene as c-fos and proliferation in breast cancer cells.
Furthermore, oxalate has a carcinogenic effect when injected into the
mammary fat pad in mice.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26493452/

Not everyone has to avoid it, but I do recommend you avoid kale, even organic.
known to draw toxic substances from the earth. I eat sprouts, arugula, romaine…
I used to eat a lot more, but it got complicated. I eat a lot of crucifers’ other veggies.

How Oxalates Affect Thyroid Health – Dr. Izabella Wentz,
I had no clue that I should avoid oxalates until I had a calcium oxalate kidney stone in 2017. When I started learning about oxalates, I was amazed how high my diet was in them. Not just spinach but almonds, sweet potatoes, beets, chocolate.
I still struggle with not eating chocolate but try to limit it.
From what I’ve read not everyone needs to follow a low oxalate diet but it’s good to
know about. Those with thyroid issues, which I do, found this article informative too: 

ALso recommended here’s a link to Sally Norton’s take on oxalates:
 https://sallyknorton.com/oxalate-science/oxalate-basics/
OH! I always have options and alternatives to select from. 😉😉😉😘 

However, thank you for the heads-up.

Oxalates are definitely troublemakers and there is plenty of research linking them to breast cancer. Oxalates induce an expression of a pro-tumorigenic gene c-fos causing proliferation. You can read more about it here. For this reason green smoothies are the worst. You are taking in about 1,000 mg of oxalates in a smoothie. Spinach, beets, and star fruit are all very high oxalate foods. The digestive system based on research can handle up to 200 mg on average and that’s if you don’t have a compromised gut. https://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/…/s12885-015-1747-2….

Here is a good read..Oxalates in Spinach. Is that a bad thing? (donnieyance.com)
Great article covering both sides with one exception. Spinach does not contain folic acid (synthetic vitamin), but actually it contains natural folate,  no one should take folic acid, only folate. Which is the main reason for those with MTHFR (SNP/ gene mutation very common but most are not aware of). I do not know how one figures out that the symptoms described mean you have an allergic reaction or aversion to oxalates. Is there a test to determine whether oxalates are the cause of hives for example?

Holly Herpich Bencaz Maybe some of the recommendations in the Yance article will help. I have been working on gut health, maybe I’ll try a bite of spinach, see what happens. The mind is so powerful, so I have to keep that in mind. 

  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Spinach is my go to “green”  for salads, cooked with eggs, on sandwiches, etc.
If my body doesn’t seem to be protesting, should I leave well enough alone?
I know – no easy answer, but, just, in general.

Holly Herpich Bencaz but the best thing to do for sensitivity is to pay attention to symptoms. I have MTHFR so I have found it best to avoid spinach, but this article
makes so much sense. That said, I don’t have any trouble with other ox’s.

For me, it was intense pain and cramping in my hands. I hope that helps you.
Very interesting about pain in your hands. I need a better understanding of oxalates and spinach. I do seem to actually crave spinach. I do have difficulty with my hands sometimes but usually after strenuous activities carrying heavy objects. I appreciate your thoughts and advice, especially sharing topics that are not widely discussed or known about.

TRUMP WAS RIGHT

Posted on June 17, 2023 by Ken

Biden Is Counting on One Word Trick to Win in 2024 (msn.com)
President Joe Biden has made some curious decisions in the last few months that

would appear to align with Republican wishes rather than the typical Democratic policy priorities. He may be trying to short-circuit conservative attacks before they happen in an effort that looks like President Bill Clinton’s strategy of “triangulation” positioning in the 1990s. This means that Clinton worked with the GOP more in an attempt to make him more palatable to Republicans and right-leaning independents.

Wakeup America Do democrats love failure so much that they’ll keep voting blue?”

That’s the problem. They don’t see their evil as failure. They see it as successful because they’ve been doing so for over 60 years.
They don’t see it as a failure because it hasn’t impacted those at the top. They’re prospering, but the middle class is hanging on and has bought their promises. That will shatter over the coming months as they realize they will not benefit! Democrats want to control us.
To do that they want us to depend on a big government. They’ve been doing it for years to the black and brown communities. These people are Evil, Corrupt, Liars! 😡 I’m 63 years old and I never dreamed that our nation would allow such failure as we have experienced since 1/6/2021.
I’m thinking the middle class gets crushed but the people on the bottom see more free stuff, so they like it. Yes, yes they will – no matter WHAT happens…. And that’s a damn shame…..They don’t care, they hate Trump so much, they hate his hair the size of his hands and his body shape and skin color. They call him the orange man! 

image.png

That is the depth of their bigot mentality. Yet they are supposed to be inclusive!
We need one big lunatic asylum for all of them. Pyramid politics gets votes.

I just turn 63 the same day as Trump’s Birthday June 14th and yes, I’ve seen this before. Joe Biden is repeating every single mistake that Jimmy Carter made. Only an absolute fool repeats the mistakes of the past and then turns around and thinks he’s brilliant. He’s as brilliant as a burned-out light bulb.

They want us all poor and dependent on the government. They’ll figure out later where the government will get its money if we’re all poor later, I’m sure. They practice the Hegelian dialect in that they create a crisis so they can provide the solution for their crisis, and this is why we have so many passive aggressive people who become codependent on the government. Pure evil!

This was done on purpose. This country is gone if we don’t get Trump back. The problem is the deep staters republican and Dems getting rich off of us!!!! Democrats are Like arguing with two fools, you can’t be ‘clueless’ in this world. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, guess what?? Briden is compromised and being blackmailed by everyone.

Briden is selling the country down the tubes and leaders are letting him. They are all getting rich at our expense. Duh?? Democrats don’t understand what money is. And don’t understand the difference between a million. billion and what a trillion is. They think it’s stuff the government gives them for free and when it runs out, they can just print more!

RUSH LIMBAUGH WAS RIGHT IN THIS INTERVIEW WITH TRUMP. WHEN HE SAID THAT THE DEMOCRATS DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE TRUMP CREDIT FOR GETTING THINGS RIGHT IN OUR COUNTRY?

I always wondered why Bill Clinton signed U.S. up for with United Nations and Agenda 2021?
They want to destroy America 🇺🇸

Some of them cannot think outside what they are told by their “keepers.” Democrats love taking what others have! Sickening everything they have done and are Currently doing and making it seem like we the American people are the enemy of our Nation they aren’t. They want failure for everyone except themselves!!!! My first President was JFK. Not one since has delivered the absolute disaster as Biden. As bad as Carter was, he doesn’t come close to comparing to Biden’s utter destruction…..& he has a year and a half to, as he says, complete the job!

They are all a dozen bricks shy of a full load.

Joe Biden Tries to Grope Eva Longoria, Star Actress Recoils in Terror

President Joe Biden Accused of Trying to Grope Eva Longoria
After Joking About Knowing Her Since She Was 17 Years Old (msn.com)

President Joe Biden made a cringeworthy joke as he told an audience at the White House Thursday night that he’d known actress and director Eva Longoria for ‘a long time.’ ‘She was 17, I was 40,’ the 80-year-old commander-in-chief said about the 48-year-old actress, receiving laughs from members of the crowd. The president held Longoria’s hand and the hand of his wife, first lady Jill Biden , as the trio walked out onto the South Lawn to give introductory remarks at a screening of Longoria’s new film, Flamin’ Hot – her directorial debut.

If Democrats still Vote Biden:
If they do, they’re even more stupid than I thought. How can anyone be satisfied with this corrupt administration? The only people who could vote for Biden now have no soul, no heart, no conscience, & full of hate…

There is money to be made in thriving and declining economies, which is why you see constant political battles to control the economy. Dems tend to do better in declining economies, via shorting the market and predatory lending practices.
The GOP does better in booming economies.

The democrat politicians want to rein over a poor country so that they can control it. Obama is destroying the US on purpose.

Half Of America’s Safest Cities Are In Constitutional Carry States –
Bearing Arms… Joe Biden leaves Americans confused:

As he bizarrely ends speech in Connecticut by declaring ‘God save the Queen’ (msn.com)
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Arizona are all Constitutional carry states, while the gun laws in Texas, Virginia, and North Carolina are all fairly robust in terms of Second Amendment protections. Columbia, Maryland is the one city in the Top Ten Safest Cities that’s located in a state with restrictive gun control laws, and those laws don’t seem to be doing much to keep residents in Maryland’s largest city safe. Baltimore, Maryland is way down towards the bottom of WalletHub’s list of safest cities, coming in 155th out 182 metropolitan areas.

If gun control alone were enough to reduce violent crime,
then cities like San Bernardino (ranked 180th out of 182), Los Angeles, (172), Oakland (165), and Washington, D.C. (160) would be among the safest places in the country instead of coming in towards the bottom of the rankings. In fact, it’s worth noting that California has the “best” gun control laws in the country according to groups like Giffords and Brady, but it’s also home to some of the most dangerous cities in the United States.

California’s ten day waiting periods, bans on so-called assault weapons and high capacity magazines, prohibitions on online and out-of-state sales of ammunition, background checks on in-person ammo sales, microstamping requirements, and the other onerous restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms may make gun control activists happy,
but they don’t do much to keep people safe.

Conversely, some of the safest cities in the country don’t have any California-style gun laws in place. That should be enough evidence to put to rest forever the absurd assertion that more gun laws equal less crime, but you and I both know that the gun control movement is going to keep repeating the lie that we can ban our way to safety. It’s going to be up to Second Amendment activists to keep making the case that not only are these gun control laws unconstitutional, but they’re ineffective as well; promising security at the expense of our rights, but instead making us both less safe and less free.

Colon Cancer Awareness

This 31-Year-Old Woman Shared the Subtle Signs
That She Had Colon Cancer, And It’s So Important.
This year, researchers at the American Cancer Society predicts about 153,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. But unlike past years, they say a growing percentage of these patients will likely be younger adults under 50 — a predicted 13%.

That’s 9% more than were diagnosed in 2020.
And while that’s not an enormous slice of the population (~19,890 people), it’s still important to know what symptoms to look out for. It’s not totally clear to researchers
why more younger people are getting colorectal cancer, though it may be linked to diet, alcohol consumption, and other lifestyle factors.

However, on the individual level, doctors really don’t know why any one person gets cancer while others don’t. It’s pretty much random.

The CDC currently recommends starting screening for colorectal cancers at age 45, which means that for younger patients, it’s up to us to know our bodies and raise a red flag when something seems off. But how do we know when it’s time to make that appointment?

Recently, 31-year-old Bri Mahon (@brimahon), a mom of twins living in Newport Beach, California, took to TikTok to share the symptoms that led to her stage three colon cancer diagnosis, and her story is so important to hear. 
In the video, which has been viewed nearly 2 million times, Bri shares that she was experiencing digestive issues for the last few years that she thought were due to IBS. 

Then, she started noticing her anxiety levels spiking and felt a lot of fatigue. 
“I was having panic attacks and I think it’s just because my body was really, really,
really tired and going through whatever, it’s going through growing a tumor.”

Then, last September, she gave birth to her twins who were premature and had to stay
in the NICU for four months. During this time, she noticed blood in her stool but thought it was related to the pregnancy.
Plus, she says, “I wasn’t even really thinking about what I was going through. I thought it was stress. I thought it was depression. I thought it was anxiety, kind of all these things coming up again. 

My fatigue was really bad, but again, I justified it in my head as my boys are in the NICU.”
But she shared that she finally sounded the alarm to her doctor when she started to notice blood in her stool more regularly. Her doctor then referred her to a GI specialist who ordered a colonoscopy, performed 10 biopsies, and finally gave Bri her diagnosis.

In the comments, people shared their own experiences with going in to check out,
like this person who pushed for a colonoscopy when they were 23 which found a pre-cancerous polyp. BTW, a polyp is the medical term for a growth in the lining of your bowel. Survivors also chimed in to share that though this diagnosis can be terrifying to hear, they got through treatment and are now cancer free.

People also called out how medical gaslighting can make patients, especially young women, doubt our symptoms. And others shared that they’ve gone in for similar symptoms and received a different diagnosis. So while these signs may point to cancer, you can’t know for sure until you get checked out.

Since every individual patient’s case is different, I reached out to Dr. Amit Garg.
He’s a board certified hematologist/oncologist who’s been practicing since 2014,
and who has also posted on TikTok to raise awareness of colon cancer in younger adults.@blooddocdad

First, I asked Dr. Garg for signs that can point to colorectal cancer.
He said, “Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and unexplained iron deficiency anemia.” While I wouldn’t go running to the doctor over diarrhea lasting just a day or two, symptoms that last longer without another obvious cause should set off alarm bells.

He also shared some factors that can predispose someone to developing this form
of cancer. “Known risk factors for colorectal cancer include hereditary syndromes
(Lynch Syndrome, Adenomatous polyposis syndrome), personal family history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohns disease, Ulcerative colitis).
There are risk factors that have shown to increase risk of colorectal cancer but do
not affect screening guidelines (obesity, diabetes, red and processed meat, tobacco,
alcohol use).”

If you’re worried about your risk of colon cancer, Dr. Garg says that some lifestyle
tweaks could help prevent it. “Protective factors include physical activity, diet rich in fiber. Aspirin and NSAID use has been shown to decrease colonic adenomas which in the long run decreases risk of colorectal cancer.” And he urges anyone who’s experiencing symptoms that are out of the ordinary for them to get checked out. 

 Don’t ignore symptoms!” Seriously, don’t!!! Bri told BuzzFeed that even though she’s usually cool under pressure, hearing her GI doctor say she likely had cancer was really overwhelming. “Any unexplained abdominal symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor
to determine any need for lab testing, imaging or colonoscopy.

“Hearing the doctor say she thinks it’s cancer shattered me to think about what
this means for my babies. The next few days I felt like I was living in a different world than my ‘reality,’ and didn’t share anything with friends or family until my biopsy results came back positive for cancer, two days later.”

But once her diagnosis was confirmed, Bri found herself in a whirlwind of appointments making a treatment plan. “We found out that I have stage 3c colorectal cancer, and that due to where my tumor is placed and the aggressive nature of it, I will begin two rounds
of chemotherapy and radiation, first with pills, then chemotherapy infusion. 

Once my chemotherapy and radiation treatment are complete, I am looking at surgery to remove the remaining part of the tumor. The whole process will most likely take six to nine months, not including recovery time from surgery and chemo.” She shared that she’s also doing IVF right now because her treatment plan will affect her fertility.

Bri says that the response to her video has been really moving, and she hopes that it can help at least one person get the care they need. “I’ve read many comments of personal stories and heartbreak, also success stories and celebration. I was surprised that so many people said they are worried about things they are experiencing and are going to get checked out or schedule a colonoscopy because of my symptom video… I hope that one person sees this, gets a colonoscopy, or goes to the doctor for something they’ve been putting off and it saves them.”

She also shared that living with this disease is so much more than the brave cancer warrior stereotype. “I have had many moments where I feel completely motivated, and also am riding a rollercoaster where I have days where I just want to cry and cry and cry — for my boys, for my family, for what’s to come. I do feel like at this moment before treatment starts, I am in the eye of the storm. In some ways, I feel more present than I ever have in my entire life.

Every moment with my twins is extra special. I cry tears of joy more than I ever have. Because I just really love my life. Which scares me, too.”
And her physical experience hasn’t been stereotypical either. “I think the most shocking thing about my diagnosis is that I would have never guessed it was cancer.
Sure, I felt off in a way where I wanted to get checked out, but I originally assumed I had IBS and nothing concerning. Every time I’ve thought of cancer, I did not imagine an active, incredibly healthy 31-year-old with energy. It still feels very surreal to me to have my diagnosis.”

Her treatment plan is also not what you might picture based on what you’ve seen in movies and TV shows. “It has surprised me that many people don’t know about modern treatment and chemotherapy. In addition to that, most people associate cancer with complete hair loss and a full-time hospital stay and incredible sickness…

I will be taking chemo pills from home and hopefully won’t have as much hair loss as most people think when it comes to chemotherapy. Even with an infusion chemo treatment, the biggest obstacles that will come with it are fatigue, nausea, some hair loss but not all, and cold sensitivity.”

Finally, Bri says, “I am lucky that we caught my cancer early enough that I can go through treatment and have a chance. They said if I had waited the cancer would have metastasized quickly, as it is already appearing to show in my lymph nodes.
My goal through sharing my story, journey, and all of this is to show
whoever needs to hear it and see it that they can get through hard things.
I want to show my boys that strength comes from softness and vulnerability and not
giving up regardless. It is actually something they taught me going through the NICU,
and now I get to take that courage and strength on my own journey.”

Here is some of the ways we can prevent cancer: • Maintain a healthy weight. • Don’t smoke or use other tobacco products. • Avoid alcohol or have an average of no more than one alcoholic drink per day. • Avoid binge drinking, even if you don’t drink most days of the week • Eat a diet rich in vegetables, especially the green leafy ones. They are rich in folic acid. For women, folic acid may offset any increased risk of breast cancer from drinking alcohol. • Eat more fiber-rich foods. It may lower your risk of colon cancer. • Stay physically active, and try to find time every day for dedicated exercise. Aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise per week.

Also Both cancer and depression are insidious diseases which often happen together. First, we need to know the difference between cancer and depression. Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. With cancer you could get a tumor or you may have chemotherapy for treatment. But depression you can’t see and put it out of your body, can lead to suicide even it’s curable with proper treatment. Cancer invades the body, depression invades the psyched. Which takes more lives? It depends on the personality of the person, like how to deal with coping mechanisms (adaptation), their spiritual life, continuous treatment and medications, and accepting reality.    Cancer: Ask Health Professionals (msn.com)
