In this article, we describe how fermentation of hemp seed proteins leads to formation of peptides that share sequence similarities with [1] human vitamin D-binding protein. We compared the amino acid sequence of edestin, the major hexameric globular protein from hemp protein isolates, with that of human vitamin D-binding protein, and we found significant functional similarities. Among the different peptides formed during the process of fermentation, we identified the peptide VLANAFQ of edestin as a promising candidate showing a high degree of functional similarity as well a common pattern of hydrophobicity with the TPTELAKLVNKRSE peptide that is the active site of human vitamin D-binding protein as far as its immune-stimulating, anti-proliferative and anti-migration properties are concerned.

Introduction
Vitamin D-binding protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (DBP-MAF or Gc-protein-derived MAF)[3] and its conceptual derivative based on microbial chondroitin sulfate, proved effective in a number of conditions characterized by immune system and mitochondrial dysfunction thanks to their effects on the pathogenetic alterations that are common to chronic conditions [1-9]. We and others demonstrated that DBP-MAF interacts in vitro also with cells other than macrophages [10-12], thus lending credit to the hypothesis that the biological effects described in previous studies [[4] 1-9] may be ascribed to a combination of effects encompassing stimulation of the immune system through the macrophage-immune system pathway, as originally postulated, as well as direct effects on target cells. Here we demonstrate that fermentation of hemp seed proteins utilizing an ad hoc designed microbial formula l[5] eads to formation of peptides endowed with biological activity similar[6] to that of [7] DBP-MAF.
Materials and methods
Fermentation of hemp seed proteins
The process of fermentation of hemp seed protein extract was performed in Switzerland using the following materials:
Mineral water (France).
Hemp seed protein extract (Switzerland and Europe).
Fresh lemon juice, not from concentrate (Switzerland).
White sugar (Switzerland).
Apple cider vinegar (Switzerland).
Proprietary probiotic formula (Switzerland and Europe) containing Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, and proprietary cultured kefir grains whose peculiar microflora was recently described [13,14].
Hemp seed protein extract was dissolved in mineral water and heat-treated with the goal of inducing mild unfolding of the native structure of edestin, an hexameric globular protein, so to expose sites where proteolysis by microbial proteases could occur with the consequent formation of bioactive peptides. Exhaustive preliminary experiments were performed to identify the ideal conditions to induce mild unfolding of the native structure without significant protein denaturation. Preliminary experiments were also performed to identify the ideal times and temperatures for efficient fermentation as well as the ratio of the different components. The mineral water was chosen for its [9] mineral content; preliminary experiments performed using mineral-depleted water indicated that an array of [10] natural minerals was necessary for optimal microbial fermentation. Using mineral water with defined [11] mineral content, the absolute number of live microbes dramatically increased during the fermentation period. The fermented product was then freeze-dried and analyzed for biological activity on human cell cultures.
Study of biological activity on human cell cultures; clonogenic assay
The fermented product was assayed for biological activity using soft-agar clonogenic assay performed by an independent laboratory (ProQinase GmbH, Freiburg, Germany) as described below. 500 mg of the freeze-dried fermented compound were weighed, taken into solution in 6.5 mL of DMEM medium by 30 min heating at 39° C under stirring to reach a 16x fold concentrated stock solution. Insoluble components were removed first by centrifugation, and then by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter. Centrifugation and filtration eliminated all microbial cells and aggregates of insoluble proteins and other macro-molecules. Absence of microbial cells was indirectly confirmed by absence of any contamination of the cell cultures during the 8 day incubation in soft agar. It may be presumed that small peptides were most likely to pass through the filter at variance with hydrophobic globular proteins such as edestin, the major component of hemp seed protein isolates, that have the tendency to clump together. The resulting solution was diluted in DMEM and immediately 10 μL was added to each well containing human colon cells bearing mutation of the KRAS gene (HCT116 cell line, 2,500 cells/well). No treatment (solvent) and Staurosporine (10 µM) served as high control (100% viability) and low control (0% viability), respectively. Treatment[12] of cells started one day after seeding. For the HCT116 cell line, a 96 well suspension cell culture plate was prepared. 100 μL of the soft agar bottom layer (0.6% final concentration in complete medium) was poured and left to solidify. 50 μL of the soft agar top layer (0.4% final concentration) containing the corresponding cells and cell number were then added on top, solidified and incubated overnight at 37° C, in 10% CO2. The following day, the freeze-dried fermented compound and the controls were added into the inner wells of the plate. Subsequently, the assay was incubated in a cell culture incubator [13] for 8 days. Finally, the assay was developed using Alamar Blue and, upon 3 h of incubation at 37 °C, fluorescence intensity was determined [14] (excitation: 560 nm; emission: 590 nm). As low control, cells were treated with Staurosporine (10 µM). As high control, cells were treated with solvent.15][16]
Results and discussion
The protein/peptide content from the fermented hemp seed protein extract added to each well containing 2,500 cells was calculated as 0.6 µg/well, an amount that is of the same order of magnitude as that used by Gregory et al. to assess the effects of DBP-MAF on transformed prostate cell proliferation and migration [10]. The fermented hemp seed protein extract caused inhibition of HCT116 cell proliferation that was statistically significant (p < 0.05).[17] We attribute this effect to formation of bioactive peptides from edestin. Edestin is an hexameric globular protein that bears striking functional resemblance to the human vitamin D-binding protein that is the precursor of DBP-MAF (Fig. 1). We postulate that proteases secreted by the microbes of the probiotic formulation, together with the increase of acidity that is characteristic of fermentation, led to formation of peptides functionally very similar to DBP-MAF and, in particular, to the peptide TPTELAKLVNKRSE [18] that was identified by Gregory et al. as the active site of DBP-MAF [10]. The process through which fermentation would lead to formation of a bioactive peptide from edestin is identical, in principle, to the process leading to formation of bioactive peptides from hydrolysis of caseins during fermentation of milk by kefir[19] grains [15]. Among the peptides with potential biological activity deriving from the proprietary edestin fermentation process here described, we identified the peptide VLANAFQ as the most promising candidate. This peptide shows a high degree of functional similarity as well a common pattern of hydrophobicity with the TPTELAKLVNKRSE peptide described by Gregory et al. [10]. It is worth noticing that formation of vegetal bioactive peptides from fermentation of hemp seed proteins is reminiscent of the formation of DBP-MAF from fermented bovine colostrum [16]. Edestin, as a major component of hemp protein isolates,[20] is known for its excellent nutritional properties and it was recently hypothesized that products of its hydrolysis may have bioactive properties [17]. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration that fermentation of edestin leads to formation of peptides that show biological activity in human cell cultures (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Sequence alignment between edestin and vitamin D-binding protein[1]
The sequences of edestin 1 (A0A090DLH8) and vitamin D-binding protein (also known as Gc-protein; P02774) were obtained and aligned using the Align tool of Uniprot (uniprot.org). The light indigo color indicates hydrophobicity. The conventional consensus symbols are: “*” indicating that the residues are identical in all sequences in the alignment. “:” indicating that conserved substitutions have been observed. “.” indicating that semi-conserved substitutions are observed, that is, amino acids having similar features.

I am going to put comments to the info below as I integrate it.Then we can adapt it to you.
from Mimi about the topic:
One thing that I has worked well for me lately is using amino acids. For sleep especially, but also for body muscle.I am of an age (65) where I need to exercise for about an hour a few times per week in order to keep my metabolism set.You just need to keep your heart rate up and your body gets chugging along. It gets all the parts on line and makes it over the line of function to something special. I don’t know much about it except that when my liver was compromised by all my childhood toxins from a factory nearby, I didn’t want to exercise. It took about 5 years to get up the “steam” to get rid of it all.Now I feel much freer and trying to balance my work load with voluntary exercise. (During the pandemic, our gyms were open and that was always easier.) So in response to amino acids, I use something called the Master Amino Acid Pattern. Dr. Ruggiero used to work with the guys in Italy that made this recipe. I read somewhere that he was a part of it. The company that I started with 20 years ago Is GUNA, a homeopathic company from Italy. Their product is called SON aminos and are a superior quality but also twice as expensive. If you get into it, you can call and see if they are still offered. I might at some. These are the strategies that keep my body and mind clear and I am setting up a healthy platform for my body. Some history about my liver. I brought some melatonin on my vacation one time. I had encapsulated it into size “0” caps to make it manageable. I was using about 1/4 of a capsule at a time, just to experiment with it. So I put about 12-15 capsules in a zip bag to travel so it didn’t just look like white powder for TSA. I was going to experiment in the pureness of Hawaii while I had time to myself. But the first night, I came back to my bed in the dark while going to sleep and felt the packet of capsules. I thought I forgot to take my evening minerals and took the whole bag. So about 6 or 7 grams??? The next morning I felt hung over. “What happened?” Then I saw the writing on the zip lock and said. Ops. Not my night minerals. My liver had dumped it’s toxic contents into my body. I couldn’t hold on and adjust to the melatonin all at one time. Energetically, what I was holding in my liver was all the ways I have had to adjust to the world. All my rationalizations and my stability to not get angry and to HOLD THE PEACE and HOLD THE INTENTIONS of LOVING AND my relationship with Spirit, my family, myself. It was all over the place. In retrospect, the best news is that I was in Hawaii with time to myself for sunshine, sparkling water and skies and trade winds. Hawaii is both relaxed but also very vibrant. My metabolism always adjusts higher even when I have a quiet day of botanical exploration. Meanwhile all of my toxins were in my body and I began hiking and swimming and the soaking in the ocean while focusing on the sea turtles and coral reefs while my body processed the waste. However, there was a sticky yellow bile kind of thing that took longer to clean up. I felt like I had hip waders on that were full of it. Actually, it took over a year for that sticky stuff to clean up. It was hard to exercise because my body wanted what it was doing to be still and meticulous so it could produce something in the gall bladder in order for it to process. It was fine. I was at work and processing my work anyway. I just didn’t want to be very social nor too active. When my energy came back, my system and consciousness was very pure and bright. In retrospect. I had a beautiful set up for that cleaning. I used a great liver system to clean up completely and then had to remove the disease from my liver and I was all set!! Never had disease since!!! But now my pancreas wants to clear. So I requested this info “anything on the pancreas”. Knowing that I would find my answer in this mess. When I read it the first time, I was surprised to see so much about weight maintenance. My weight has been easy to maintain by telling my body to hold it’s ideal weight. (Like when I was 18). Of course I see women my age with their house dresses and pudge and I realize I have not gone in that direction. LOL. When I look into you and your weight, I am not looking for more or less weight but the function of the organs that hold balance. Thus the pancreas is at the helm. It holds the balance between the digestion and the brain. It has a big job and is very silent in the consciousness generally. Balance is something we do to stay conscious. So my next question is, is consciousness what we use for balance? Is balance between the body the same as how the planet supports its electromagnetic field. I know that the south node is the emotions and the north node is the thoughts. But what about how they interact? And what if we hold ourselves steady in the wrong way. Over thanksgiving my husband, son and grandson took a moment to go to the park and go on the swings. My grandson and I started to play a game of running around on this large mound with handles placed. We liked that it had colors of bands. Of course his 5.5 year old self got the king of the hill. I told him about my birds in their aviary and how they had had a pecking order. I told him, if you come into my territory, I can peck you. If I come into yours, you can peck me. And so we ran around and a around, up and down. One of our other friends joined in too. It was amazingly freeing to “play” and to take spontaneous steps. We played for probably 35-40 mins. Everything in my body loosened up. I tend to hold myself in a pattern so that I can work, make products, ship products, do the accounting and talk to the customers. This loosening shook my pancreas awake. Thus, it has been expressing its needs to me all week!!! Yeah!Play is the answer. But the needs of the pancreas become my nurturing project. When you came along asking to free your weight metabolism, I got excited to look into the way the body functions, the way the consciousness interviews and the way that the endocrines come back into balance. All indicating the pancreas. The endocrine of balance. I asked my friend Bruce, for anything he “had” his his many, many years of archiving health. He did a sort through the material and looked for pancreas. He sent me what is below.

“CLASS 1-5” and “CLOD” mean Reams is quoted
Reams is the developer of RBTI have not grounded myself in the greater structure of the material, as Bruce said, it is more of a group of knowledge and he is doing what he can to ground it.
OLSZTA Q&A: So, immediately we see the difference between RBTI and Orthodoxy, namely, RBTI says the Thyroxine is made by the Pancreas but Orthodoxy says it is made by the Thyroid Gland!
ADDED FROM GOOGLE : Thyroxine – from “orthodox medicine” Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland under regulation from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The feedback loop signals to the hypothalamus in to release thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which then stimulates the pituitary gland to release the thyroid stimulating hormone.
ADDED FROM GOOGLE: Thyroxine is a hormone the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, thyroxine travels to the organs, like the liver and kidneys, where it is converted to its active form of triiodothyronine.
MIMI: – I see the pancreas stimulating the command to make the thyroxine in the thyroid. It may be a similar substance released but it looks more like a smart military order with plans.Then the thyroid fills that order. (Just saying that’s how it appears)
CLOD: You may have a case where in the pancreas is manufacturing the right amount of thyroxine, but the body does not have enough potassium, therefore, you can be over or under weight from that problem.
MIMI: This is very common especially in low metabolism.I will consider potassium as part of the weight metabolism. 10-15 ml
RBTI: Probably it would be overweight, but it may be either one. The RBTI test tells us definitely whether this is the cause of overweight, or whether it is something else. [Bruce’s body is in this pattern]
MIMI: Testing if it is a cause – Mimi 25%Moj 35%Bruce 10%
CLOD: The reason the liver is not manufacturing enough glycogen is there are not enough calciums of the right kind present. This is present in the Bravo Yogurt regular dosage of 2 TBS x 2 times per day.and fixes this, the liver and pancreas for the most part. Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids So with Bravo Yogurt, the liver does have what it needs to make amino acids and …. Small amounts of aminos are very, very helpful.
the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight.
MIMI Overworking the pancreas. This is true when you put the needs of others before your own.
For the overweight it does not manufacture enough thyroxine.
Which is also a pattern of wallowing in your own unmet needs.
RBTI: For people who are too skinny the thyroid manufactures too much thyroxine. Perhaps being a good soldier to what is being asked of you.Bruce would fall into this pattern. This is easily remedied by the correct diet.
MIMI Hmmm. What does correct diet mean?Green leafy vegetablesLots of good oils like avocadosClean lean proteinCoconut oil on the skin.
CLOD: Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids that the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight.
MIMI Summarizing what was just said. PLUS Needing potassium
CLOD: The reason the liver is not manufacturing enough glycogen is that there are not enough calciums of the right kind present. Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids that the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight. For people who are too skinny the thyroid manufactures too much thyroxine. For the overweight it does not manufacture enough thyroxine. This is easily remedied by the correct diet.
MIMI. You need a good variety as well.
ARM: Everyone has a built-in whiskey still. The pancreas makes alcohol from the glycogen made in the liver, and that controls our body temperature.
MIMI This is why I have included Sydney. Too cold.
People who are too cold all the time are not manufacturing enough alcohol. When people are too hot all the time, they are manufacturing too much alcohol.
MIMI. That doesn’t mean you need to drink alcohol. And it doesn’t mean you should eat a lot of sugar which turns into alcohol.LOL. It needs to be done with diet. Green leafy vegetablesLots of good oils like avocadosClean lean proteinCoconut oil on the skin.Yogurt for the proper calciums.Potassium and minerals in a variety of sources For alchohol. I just Jing Tea. It brings vitality. You need alcohol and a spark of fire to burn it off. This bring the warmth to the three heaters of Chinese medicine. You have the spark but not the fuel or vice versa.
DAVIS: If the pancreas does not produce enough of the special kind of alcohol the person has cold hands and feet most of the time. If severe enough, he may be cold all over at all times and in all seasons.
MIMI. Pancreas needs so self balance time. Yoga, exercise, meditation.If you are only looking at others, not including yourself, you will begin to melt into not producing your own fuel. See it as keeping your own emotional tank filled.This is true of drinking alcohol too. If you don’t have enough of your own “fire”, then you need to get really enthusiast about something!!!Enthusiasm is God’s energy. You must have God’s energy passing through you. Otherwise, you end up like in prison, all dark and no hope. Even if you are free, you will see hints of this in your consciousness.I usually look for the light at the end of the tunnel and move myself out to it. Even in my working too much, not giving myself enough personal thinking time, if I give myself more freedom within the task, it is much better.
CLASS 1-5: The pancreas manufactures alcohol to keep the body warm and functioning at the right temperature. If it is making too much alcohol you are too hot all the time. To reduce the amount of alcohol in the body drink some Brazilian Tea made from coffee (weak black coffee where you can see the bottom of a teacup, no stronger. In those cases the coffee often makes them sick at their stomach. This is exactly what you want to happen Praise God it is because it is re-patterning their body chemistry. If they have pancreatic cancer; and, will not drink weak coffee because they do not like the taste of it, then shame on them. Suggest they make out their last will and testament.
MIMI. Okay let’s find the Brazilian coffee…. I looked at amazon, Peet’s has a coffee from Brazil both in beans and in cups pods.
ION INSTITUTE: When the feet are very hot and sweaty or a person has hot flashes, the pancreas is producing too much alcohol. Use a little coffee to temporarily alleviate the problem. Coffee is not the long term solution, rebuilding the pancreas is
MIMI – Next question, rebuilding the pancreas. Liv-alive is a product I have in capsules. There are two books on the product page. He heals livers that need to be transplanted. He also says it heals other organs too. I have been taking it and now I think it is helping my pancreas.
ARM: It takes colloids, and it works back against the cationic force. The glycogen goes over to the pancreas, and it makes alcohol out of it. This regulates our temperature. C.H.E.M: Whenever the pancreas is manufacturing too much or not enough insulin, Algavim is needed. The brain needs potassium. [Algavim is Reams seaweed powder. Bruce likes it. Get teh bulk version from Daily Mfg.]
MIMI Not bulk but an okay start.
ARM: Drinking water, washes out the pnacreas. while not correcting the condition, it makes it possible for the pancreas to rest and begin to restore its energy. To rebuild, use green drink and green salads to rebuild the pancreas. BEDDOE: The use of “Green Drinks” is extremely valuable in helping the liver and pancreas to regulate blood carbohydrate levels.
MIMI. I agree.I have greens in capsules that I use. Harmonia and nitro greens. The nitro greens don’t make excesses.I also use grasses as cooling when needed in Florida summers. Barley grass, alfalfa, and dandelion if you want that.It’s called tres verdes (three greens) or dos without the dandelion.
CLASS 1-5: Green drink [chlorophyll] is made by juicing edible green vegetables and is recommended for anyone who has a sugar problem, either too high or too low. It helps the pancreas to make the right enzymes to regulate your insulin so it is good for high or low sugars. One NO-NO about green drink and low blood sugar, never give comfrey, or comfrey tea, to people with low blood sugar because it lowers the sugar faster than anything else, but on all high blood sugar cases use it plentifully.
MIMI. Love this strategy and this confirmation.Make sure its organic. Unfortunately I have seen commercial greens that were more pesticide than produce.Please, this is going right into your blood stream. Don’t mess with anything not organic.
DAVIS: The best way we know of to rebuild the pancreas is with cationic “green drink” – that is, anything green such as carrot tops, celery, green beans, any edible green leaf, etc., put through a juicer so that the vital juices are separated from the bulk of the plant.
MIMI Some say this is too much on the sugar system and the fiber helps it. Another point of view.
EUGENE REAMS: The pancreas of those with diabetes has only one seventh the amount of zinc compared to someone who does not have a sugar problem. Taking the HCl with meals because the HCl in the stomach is weak, in addition to helping the Vitamin-A to be absorbed, also helps zinc and other elements to be utilized.
MIMI. This is valid info.And a must with pancreas issues or diabetes
BEDDOE: Exercise balances blood sugar. When the activity of the body increases, the adrenal glands raise their level of activity. Thus hormones that effect a better blood sugar response between the liver and pancreas are then released.
MIMI. YES!!!! This is the metabolic reset as I called it. Now I know what is happening. This will help your heart since sugar hurts heart and veins. Reducing sugar is obvious if you want to care for yourself. I use various things to reduce the fungus that eats the excess sugar and that reduces cravings.Also a book called. The Craving Cure by Julia Ross
BEDDOE: This discovery points to the fact when acidosis is a result of carbohydrate problems it is not only due to the incomplete metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. It is also due to loss of production of bicarbonate by the pancreas.
MIMI. Imuno on the mustache over the lip and the same type of area under the lower lip will increase the digestion which will auto start the metabolism of carbohydrates. Use only imuno the size of a piece of rice for both lips and use it every day or skip once in a while. Just keep the metabolism running like spinning a plate on a stick. You must get to it on time.When it is working, my tummy rumbles.Also when I am not digesting food, I am digesting emotions.I don’t eat late at night because night time digestion is really not healthy. (Slime bugs that remove food will cause cravings)Also the brain drains into the colon but it also picks up nutrients and if you have junk late at night, the brain gets swollen and hung over the next day. If you want a good day, mind when you eat.
CHALLEN: More people are allergic to white (Irish) potatoes because pancreas turns potatoes to sugar so quick people become hyperglycemic.
MIMI. Indeed!! Not to mention the little particles and the gluey starch is so hard for the body to remove.
CHALLEN: Foods that create gas when the gastric juice from the pancreas is not strong enough: Broccoli, onion, rutabaga, cauliflower, and sweet potato.
MIMI. Gastric juices may be assisted by HCI BETAIN
CLASS 1-5: The medical profession considers a person who has low blood sugar [urine Brix] is allergic to all carbohydrates, so they feed high proteins and tell you to discontinue your carbohydrates. What we do is break all rules and find out why. We decrease their protein meats terrifically and put them into a low protein diet, no protein substitutes, or anything of this nature. We put them on fruits and things, one at a time, until you find out which fruit or which carbohydrates causes the pancreas to flush. We then discontinue this problematic food and it solves the problem.
MIMI. This is not seen often but this plan seams helpful.This is something I want to try with Jim K.
ARM: Caffeine will retard the pancreas from flushing.
MIMI. Thats a very good reason to drink mushroom tea.
SESSION 1-1975: If they are too hot all the time, give them a little bit of coffee to drink, which cuts the alcohol if the pancreas is over making.
MANTHEI: Comfrey tea and alfalfa tea we use in our retreat for people who have sugar [Brix] readings above 5.5, and these are unsweetened. Comfrey tea or alfalfa tea helps to bring down a high sugar [urine Brix], helps the pancreas to produce more insulin.
MIMI. Interesting.
OLSZTA: All darker green vegetables such as spinach, kale, parsley, wheat grass, collard greens, dandelion greens, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, endive, escarole, etc. will contain varying but good amounts of chlorophyll and will all be excellent in helping to rebuild the liver and pancreas and thus get the sugar problems under control.
MIMI. Plus all in sprout form including broccoli and arugula
SESSION 1-1975: Sometimes there is damage to the central nerve between the liver and the central nerve tree, so to speak and the pancreas. And therefore when this happens, the pancreas will become carcinomic and then cancerous and that the message can not get through to the pancreas, you cannot control the sugar and the person will lose weight very rapidly until they die. But if the nerve is not damaged, and the pancreas has only a mineral deficiency it has a remarkable ability to rebuild itself and so does the liver.
MIMI. This is what happened to me. I stored emotionally charged childhood and past life memories in the nerve ganglia although it was not damaged, the connection was impaired by my unexpressed rage at not being able to care for myself. Like receiving formula instead of breast milk. With this one, Bravo rebuilt me and fixed the stored rage thus healing the liver and now the pancreas.
MIMI. My father’s mother died with this issue as well although she self medicated with heavy smoking and drinking.Its funny how we can see up the genetic line to what is going on and they can’t see it.Always I ask my kids to please share what you see in me. It is what I need and can’t get to very easily.You become my best healers.
Thanks Bruce for the experience. Below is Bruce’s work.

These are semi related topics. What is similar to all of them is angiogenesis and disease removal. The keys to similarity of all of these topics is that these topics don’t make money for the pharmaceutical industry so. . . no research. Which means no ability to talk professionally about them.
-Blood vessel video on (basics of) angiogenesis
Ted talk about how our bodies can go wrong by not trimming or growing blood vessels and capillaries as we need them.
William Li presents a new way to think about cancer treatment: angiogenesis, targeting the blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that beat cancer at its own game. (This is much bigger than cancer. Anytime something goes wrong, it can either be deficient or excessive.
-fighting cancer with veterinarian remedies – deworming medicine from animal studies.
Next we explore how about this same problem of angiogenesis and the capillaries with a drug that makes it easier for our bodies to manage keeping them in line. (We are not surprised that this leads to cancer free.)
This is really important to people who are restless.
If cancer has something to do with capillaries getting out of hand like a garden full of weeds, then this naturally occurring hormone can help us manage all of these issues as well. What Is most important about this research to me is that REM sleep is essential for the brain’s system to do it’s daily clean & drain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Roh4lQXneQg&feature=youtu.be. then see the neurologist’s long ramble below from Stasha Gominak about how important it is to sleep.
-Restoration of the liver
Burt Berkson MD is able to rehabilitate livers that the AMA says should be transplanted. He restores livers easily and quickly with some antioxidants. Alpha lipoic acid regrows organs and stops cancer. Rapid liver regrowth, including vascular regrowth. (There is the angiogenesis again…). Hepatitis D, Reduces inflammation, Kills cancer, Lupis, autoimmune hepititus, Oxidative stress
Mimi also put the right products together in a capsule called Liver-Alive. Care must be taken to get the right quality and type of ALA. Berkson is clear about the type. I have complied, tested and realize that this is true. My products reflect that. Warning from the Doctor: imported less expensive Chinese product is not sufficient and could do damage to the liver instead of repair it.
My theoretical explorations about angiogenisis causes;
Maybe we are holding onto pain and those blood vessels change? Perhaps we abandon something inside us and heavy metals are the result? Then the heavy metals or the DNA dis-regulation causes us to not be able to hear and respond to the command to clear the blood vessels, clean the area, remove the problems.
Perhaps were over-use our brains, nerves, etc. or they have viruses in them and the signal to regulate them gets cut?
Perhaps our microbiome helps to regulate things and when the heart & metabolism slow down the body creates infection etc. and we end up on antibiotics.
Imuno and how we might understand it a bit more. (Sulfate article from the 1990’s that indicate the need for balance at the sulfate levels.
This relates back to hyperactivity of red dye #2 but it is all the same need. To detoxify properly and being overwhelmed by not being able to. Isn’t the hyperactivity also an attempt to move the toxins out and it is also inflammation in the brain that doesn’t let it out all at the same time.)
Chondroitin Sulfate in imuno is more than capable of supplying the usable sulfate ions, (not necessarily the metabolic enzyme itself. ) A see it at www.imunothesolution.com
imuno Cream is being universally loved by all ages. It assists the body where it is needed. Imuno is very clean. The molecules are very small. They are filtered to be nano sized. The formula has three ingredients and they are molecularly bonded together. Each of these ingredients and their actions are extremely nurturing and invigorating to the body.
The first ingredient is an ultra-pure Phosphatidylcholine. It is a fatty acid and it acts like a soap in the cellular environment. It removes debris and brightens the outside of the cell’s wall like washing a window. The second ingredient is a vegan chondroitin sulfate that stimulate the brain of the cell, the cell wall, and once it touches a part of a cell wall, the whole cell wall responds and wakes up. Thirdly, the Vitamin D3 is molecularly bonded so now it too is inside the cell and turns on the power. The cell turns on and so do the ones around it. They link to the immune system and begin to remove anything unwanted from the small cellular environment. The imuno turns on the power of the cells and that starts the whole “factory” of functions such as digestion, detoxification, immune, hormonal function, etc.
It removes the stuff that isn’t supposed to be there. As you continue to use imuno, that small cellular area expands and is maintained clean and working by a continuing to use a small amount of cream that penetrates into a specific area. You don’t want to use a lot. Just the size of a piece of rice. It travels to the issue and begins to dispel it. It does this by setting up the charges inside the internal water system through the body and removes the items not wanted by the immune system. Start slowly and hold it to only those areas that you have opened. Imuno takes a lot of power so only do a little bit and not everyday. This product uses so little product that it really lasts a long time and must be reapplied to keep it flowing.
“I am getting stronger. The EMF is not pushing me around anymore. My body is once again sending the “energy of life” out through my cells. I don’t have to live with a just a trickle of energy anymore and I have only been taking it for 1 month! I can’t wait to see more!”
Studies on EMF clearly show the effects like symptoms of fatigue, headaches, insomina, heart rate variability, as well as memory, skin, eye, detox, digestion, & bowel function issues. This is a spectrum of symptoms which are difficult to observe in our daily life but are undeniably present.
Dr. Ruggiero’s research has built a bridge of products including Bravo Yogurt and Imuno which have been transformational to build and support our microbiomes and to ignite cellular power to restore our system’s functions. Praesidium® takes us a step further into becoming more resilient with EMF pollution. Dr. Ruggiero is a highly innovative thinker. He has offered a safe, smart, and natural formula that we can consume. We begin to transfer the messages of how WE can adapt to those super high levels of radiation right into our own cells and retain it.
Praesidium® consists of these specialized living probiotic organisms, specialized living silica and spirilina. The technology is patent pending. The doctor recommends not taking more than one capsule per day. The product contains a 3 month supply which is 90 caps. (members only: there is a sample section offering smaller amounts)
Feedback from people who have begun to experience the formula report:
Improved sleep
Nutritional support for better nerves, micro-biome, skin & eyes
Better detoxification of pesticides and cleaners
Improved Heart Rate Variablity
Improved, healthier looking skin
Much better energy levels and detoxing
Over all less emotional stress
The Inventing of Praesidium: A speech in PDF form:
Imuno is a product that cleans small areas of your body so that it is completely clean. This takes energy! It also doesn’t last for more than a few days before it starts to get wobbly. It’s like rolling a hoola hoop. At first it rolls straight and strong. Then it slows down, starts to wobble, and it falls down. When you are taking the imuno to clean out the first small area, you will want to pay attention to those cycles. Strong, slower, wobbly. You will want to take it again before it falls and stops so that it can recover. Just like the game with the hoop and the stick, you will run along it and when it needs a boost, you hit to hoop with the stick and it gains speed. This is how you use imuno cream. You take a bit, the size of rice. You put it on an area to penetrate into the body the size of a small ball up to a bigger ball as you go along. Protect this area and keep it going. If you don’t the amebas will be waiting for the boundary of the space to weaken so they can take over your chemistry and electric battery.
I have included the Fourth Phase of Water because imuno works really well. So well that it is hard to comprehend or even understand. I moves the fluids, it removes the waste that the immune system doesn’t want and it leaves at least a small area of the body clean and clear of everything unwanted. I can’t make claims about what it does. This is my experience.
To understand it, I go to The Forth Stage of Water. Where it gets into making electrical charges at different levels and surfaces of the water. They actually had water working like tubes that resemble the veins. I am sure the lymph has a different function but it is all facinating.
If you apply these solutions of moving unwanted material with the electrical charges in the water of your body to bring about a surprisingly effective way to remove unwanted chemistry from your body. I am hoping that as you see the surprising element of water in your body, you will better understand that imuno is ORGANIZING YOU to remove your waste. All waste. Heavy metals, bugs, free radicals. Anything that the immune system considers an unwanted element. In my experience it is amazing and very helpful.
It is important to understand that it won’t remove everything from everywhere. Just what it has the energy to clean out each time. It can sustain the action and hold the area and it can re-energize and sustain the action by reapplication.
Further, it appears to correlate with the research from the “red-dye #2 and hyper-activity”. The researchers of the time broke that down to a deficit of sulfates. Not the mineral but the action of sulfates or “energetic sulfates.”
This is me putting out how I am tying these element together. I know it works. I know the actions are basically “understood” in the above research. If you read Pollack, it took a year and a half to find the answer to the question “how does a water battery recharge.” Please understand that getting to the bottom of things is never possible, but understanding comes with long-term focused energy. (think crazy hair, black boards and arm chairs)
I know that imuno uses the charge in the smallest molecules to clear the way to remove the debris and what the immune system says should not be there. Therefore, I have used it as an antibiotic. It strengthens the cells under any infection, gets the area moving, and doesn’t disrupt the natural good beneficial bacteria. It avoids antibiotic damage.
You should not use it systemically at first in large amounts. It will take a lot of energy to set up a huge space!! Start small, watch it work like your wand and get the hang of it. Once your body is accustomed to the action, you will find much more cooperation. Also, you have to know when you have taken too much and you are a tiny bit groggy the next day. (for example, applying it to your entire face at one time.)
Cellfood is a remarkable formula that oxygenates and feeds the cells- cleaning, nourishing, and tuning up the body’s systems throughout the day. That’s why Cellfood is the world’s #1 selling oxygen + nutrient supplement- the original formula developed by Everett Storey almost 70 years ago.
For over 50 years, Cellfood’s proprietary formula has been manufactured by NuScience Corporation in an FDA-compliant facility, GMP-certified by the Natural Products Association.
Cellfood nourishes and oxygenates
It’s created by a proprietary process in which nutrient-rich plant substances are held in a negatively-charged suspension of deuterium sulfate. The result is a remarkable formulation that- by utilizing the same technology used decades ago to split the atom-splits water molecules within the body by weakening the bonding electrons, and gives birth to cascades of vital, life-giving oxygen. This newly-born oxygen, combined with an array of vital nutrients, is carried throughout he body-cleaning, toning and building the cells and tissues hour after hour, day after day.
A miracle of electromagnetic design
Since Cellfood is colloidal and negatively charged- just like the blood and lymph fluid- there is a natural synchronicity between Cellfood and the body’s own fluids. Cellfood and its nutrients move through the cell walls easily, and are absorbed and assimilated quickly and efficiently. Cellfood’s unique structure oxygenates and feeds the cells- cleaning, nourishing, and tuning up the body’s systems throughout the day. And, Cellfood helps balance the body’s pH.
Cellfood is exceptional as an overall delivery system not only for its own nutrients, but also for any other nutrients or substances introduced into the body within the same 24 hour period.
A powerful free-radical scavenger
Free radicals are atoms (or groups of atoms) that are missing an electron. These highly reactive molecules become even more dangerous in the human body when they react with and damage other important cellular components like DNA. Antioxidants are directly responsible for the prevention of cellular damage by neutralizing and eliminating free radicals. In a recent study, Cellfood was shown to decrease excess free radical activity by up to 27%.
Prized by athletes
In addition to the numerous general health benefits, Cellfood has now become the supplement of choice for many professional athletes. In a study conducted at the University of Pretoria, Cellfood was shown to increase oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), increase ferretin (iron storage), and decrease lactic acid (muscular fatigue).
Notably, Cellfood does not contain any ingredients that are on the lists of banned substances for professional and amateur athletic competitions. Cellfood is non-addictive, non-invasive, and completely non-toxic when taken as directed.
Cellfood lowers oxidative stress
An in vitro study conducted at the International Observatory of Oxidative Stress (Italy) showed Cellfood to be effective in the modulation of oxygen bioavailability in blood plasma and in lowering the risk of oxidative stress (the main cause of premature aging). Cellfood was found to have extraordinarily high biological antioxidant potential-a full 30 times higher than the normal BAP value of human plasma.
Conclusions of the study: “Cellfood is a natural formula with the ability to reduce oxidative stress and is potentially useful in the prevention of premature aging.”
Cellfood works throughout the day
When you mix Cellfood with purified water or juice and ingest it, its proprietary water-splitting action begins the moment you take the first sip. This cascading time release of oxygen typically peaks within 8-12 hours, and then keeps working hour after hour. And, its essential natural minerals, enzymes, amino acids and electrolytes are delivered simultaneously throughout the body on the deepest cellular level.
Directions for use
Adults take eight (8) drops in 8 ounces of purified water or juice, three (3) times per day. May be taken with or without meals. You may mix one day’s amount in a water bottle and sip throughout the day. No refrigeration required.
Ingredients
1-ounce bottle = 30-day supply
Cellfood comes in a 1-ounce bottle that provides a 30-day supply when taken as directed.
Additional Information
Detoxification
Some may experience a cleansing or detoxification response. If so, decrease dosage at beginning, then gradually resume full dosage.
Caution
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid eye contact; rinse well if dropped in eyes. If pregnant, nursing or under medical care, consult your health professional.
Care when pouring
Pour with care. Before Cellfood is mixed with water or juice, its beneficial organic enzymes can compromise countertops, clothing and other surfaces. Store bottle on tray.
Topical applications
Cellfood has been formulated in a special gel base for external topical use— Cellfood Oxygen Gel. This remarkable gel is made from Cellfood proprietary blend, aloe vera, lavender blossom extract and glycerine.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If under medical care, or if pregnant or nursing, please consult a health professional.
An overview of the rapidly emerging public health issue from cell phones, wireless devices and wireless infrastructure— and how the growth in these technologies is a little understood driver of poor health outcomes and costs.
National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy
The article, “The Wireless Elephant in the Room” was written by Camilla Rees, MBA, Senior Policy Advisor, National Institute for Science, Law and Public Policy and Founder, ElectromagneticHealth.org.
National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy
The National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy (NISLAPP) was founded in 1978 to bridge the gap between scientific uncertainties and the need for lawsprotecting public health and safety. Its overriding objective is to bring practitioners of science and law together to develop intelligent policy that best serves all interested parties in a given controversy. Its focus is on the points at which these two disciplines converge.
The Wireless Elephant
We would certainly all agree that health and environmental consciousness has been increasing over the past two decades. Organic foods, yoga centers, mind body programs, health clubs and the healing arts have proliferated. Even healthy ‘fast food’ restaurants have arrived, and large food brands are beginning to go GMO-free. As consumers, we are increasingly making ‘green’ choices that support mother Earth, and which respect our intrinsic relationship with it.
Why then, despite all this interest in health and in living ‘green’, do we have over 133 million people with a chronic illness in the U.S.— approximately 45% of the population1, and growing? Promotion of ‘prevention,’ and, more recently, ‘rationing’ care, has been the response to high costs driven by chronic illnesses. But in looking for solutions to costs, we may be ‘missing the forest for the trees’, and also not understanding the true meaning of prevention.
Prevention
The word ‘prevention’ rings hollow unless one is seeking to eliminate the factors that can lead to disease in the first place. These include unhealthy lifestyle choices, how we respond to stress, heavy metal and chemical toxicity, exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), petroleum-based fertilizers, the weed killer glyphosate, GMO
foods, poor nutrition, difficult relationships, etc. Today, ‘prevention’ instead typically means early detection of disease with tests like mammography, pap smear and PSA; manipulation of one’s physiology with pharmaceuticals and vaccines (which can have their own negative side effects); and, perhaps, depending on the doctor, advice to eat more vegetables and exercise. But prevention in the full sense of the word means something else entirely, and we ignore this at our peril.
True prevention means first removing from our lives those things that create biological dis-regulation and dis-ease, while identifying and proactively increasing the things that create balance and wellness.
The word ‘prevention’ rings hollow unless one is seeking to eliminate the factors that can lead to disease in the first place.
The Unseen Elephant
A health care system that does not advocate for dramatic reduction in cell phone and wireless radiation exposures ignores over six decades of scientific research showing biological and health effects from electromagnetic fields, including recent research from the NIH.2 3 It ignores repeated resolutions from scientists and physicians worldwide calling for caution, and the classification of cell phone and wireless radiation (radiofrequency radiation or RFR) by the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a ‘Possible Carcinogen’ (Group 2B)4. It ignores the experience of people in
every corner of the globe with life-altering, sometimes debilitating, symptoms from acute and chronic exposures to wireless technologies. And, it turns a blind eye to the DNA-damage consequences of these wireless conveniences for ourselves today, as well as for future generations.
In parallel with the growth of chronic illnesses since the 1990s, it is hard not to notice that the amount of wireless communication infrastructure in our midst has been exploding. Four and a half billion people use a cell phone today, whereas in the early 1990s most people didn’t own a cell phone. There are now millions of cell towers radiating the planet, many hundreds of millions WiFi networks5 and billions of wireless devices connected to them.6

In parallel with the growth of chronic illnesses
since the 1990s, it is hard not to notice that the amount of wireless communication infrastructure in our midst has been exploding.
Certainly, there has also been growth in other environmental pollutants during this period, and many people are over-drugged and suffer from drug interactions, with costly side effects, that also drive total costs. For example, on average, individuals 65 to 69 years old take nearly
14 prescriptions per year.7 But, as a society, we are not fully ‘seeing’ the important EMF issue in the background, which has direct effects on biology and leads to a wide range of acute and chronic health issues.
In addition to the many known biological effects, EMFs also have interactive effects with man-made chemicals, heavy metals and microorganisms in our bodies, and with metal implants and amalgams, exacerbating the biological effects. And, importantly, unknown to most people, radiofrequency radiation can impact drug actions. The radiation can both enhance and decrease the efficacy of a drug, impacting the drug actions of amphetamines, anxiolytics, opiates and alcohol to
name just a few.8 Few prescribing physicians are focused on this, or asking patients who take pharmaceutical drugs about their exposures to wireless devices and infrastructure. Overprescribing pharmaceuticals to address electrosensitivity symptoms is one of the resulting travesties, and drugs will never solve the problem.
Stressing Our Biology
Our bodies are attempting to cope in an entirely different milieu than the one in which most adults today were raised. Biology is being continually stressed from the acute and cumulative effects of these pulsing energy fields, and responds by creating stress proteins, as with any other kind of stressor. Is it any wonder, then, that the incidence
of chronic illness has accelerated since the early 1990s along side the rapid proliferation of these technologies?
Here is a graph showing six hours of radiofrequency radiation exposures to an individual in New York City wearing a portable dosimeter on March 1, 2016. The graph shows the extraordinary density of electromagnetic field exposures of different kinds, the variable nature of the pulsing and peaks, and that exposures today are way above safety guidelines based on biological scientific evidence9 (peaking, in this particular case, in fact, way above the top of the graph).

and metabolic conditions. In children, we are seeing increases in psychiatric disorders, psychotropic medication use, chronic medical conditions, delinquency, addictions, aggression, sensory integration issues, and disability filings.10 And we are seeing a growing number of reproductive issues and decreased fertility.11
The BioInitiative Report (much of which was later published in Pathophysiology) synthesizes the key findings of thousands of scientific studies showing biological effects from electromagnetic fields.12 The U.K. publication, Electromagnetic Sensitivity and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, available through E.S.-U.K.13 contains references to 1,800 studies showing effects of low-intensity exposures. There exists decades of military Radiofrequency (RF) research showing risk, much foreign research, and even an industry-funded review, “Mobile Telecommunications and Health,” prepared by the Ecolog Institute, which was issued in 2000 and lays out the known risks in great detail, including DNA risks, cancer risks and risks to children.14
The International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety (ICEMS) and the National Institute for the Study and Control of Cancer and Environmental Diseases ‘Bernardino Ramazzini’, published a report, “Non-thermal Effects and Mechanisms of Interaction Between Electromagnetic Fields and Living Matter” in 2010. This was an international effort by scientists to compile what was known at that time about the biological effects and mechanisms of action, and included studies showing EMFs create oxidative stress, blood-brain
It should be noted that since the 1990s we have seen tremendous growth in neurological and psychological disorders, such as depression and bipolar disease, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, autism, ADHD, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, diabetes

barrier permeability, genotoxic and fertility effects, heat shock (or stress) proteins, changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and in neurotransmitters, and much more.15
The millions of magnetic crystals per gram of brain tissue that orient us to the Earth’s magnetic field (as high as 100 million crystals per gram in brain membranes) are also affected by artificial electromagnetic fields and are believed to be playing a role, as well, in the biological dis-regulation occurring.16
More recently, Dr. Martin Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University, has built a case that Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) activation in cells from low-intensity EMFs, such as those emitted by cell phones, wireless devices and wireless infrastructure, is a primary mechanism of biological dysfunction. He believes the VGCC activation in cells can explain long-reported association between electromagnetic fields and a wide range of biological changes and health effects, including17:
3) Cardiac effects influencing the electrical control of the heart, including changes in ECGs producing arrhythmias, changes that can be life threatening. 4) Chromosome breaks and other changes in chromosome structure. 5) Histological changes in the testes. 6) Cell death (what is now called apoptosis, a process important in neurodegenerative diseases). 7) Lowered male fertility including lowered sperm quality and function and also lowered female fertility (less studied). 8) Oxidative stress. 9) Changes in calcium fluxes and calcium signaling. 10) Cellular DNA damage including single strand breaks and double strand breaks in cellular DNA and also 8-OHdG in cellular DNA. 11) Cancer which is likely to involve these DNA changes but also increased rates of tumor promotion-like events. 12) Therapeutic effects including stimulation of bone growth.
1) Various neuropsychiatric effects, including changes in brain structure and function, changes in various types of psychological responses and changes in behavior. 2) At least eight different endocrine (hormonal) effects.

13) Cataract formation (previously thought to be thermal, now known not to be). 14) Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. 15) Melatonin depletion and sleep disruption.
Dr. Pall says, “We’re clearly at a point where we can confidently debunk the industry’s argument of more than 20 years that there cannot be a biological mechanism of action from these low-intensity EMFs. According to industry, the forces electromagnetic fields place on electrically-charged groups in the cell are too weak to produce biological effects. However, the unique structural properties of the VGCC protein can, it turns out, explain why the force on a cell’s voltage sensor from low-intensity EMFs are millions of times stronger than are the forces on singly-charged groups elsewhere in the cell.18 They may be low intensity but with regard to the VGCCs, can have a tremendously powerful impact on the cell. Furthermore, published studies showing that calcium channel blocker drugs block or greatly lower biological effects from electromagnetic fields confirm there is a voltage-gated calcium channel mechanism that is occurring.”19
While there may be other mechanisms which can lead to biological effects from EMFs, we now know that activation of the VGCC is at least one very important factor that can lead to a range of effects.
Is it not time we start to pay attention, and think more about the ‘Wireless Elephant’ in the room if we want to get people well and lower health care costs?
After all, we have over half a century of science showing biological effects, while radiation exposures continue to grow ever more pervasive and more powerful.
Are we afraid, I wonder, to recognize this elephant?

“With dramatic increases in reported ASCs (autism spectrum conditions) that are coincident in time with the deployment of wireless technologies, we need aggressive investigation of potential ASC–EMF/RFR links”.
Assistant Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School; Pediatric Neurologist and Neuroscientist, Mass General Hospital; and Author, The Autism Revolution: Whole Body Strategies for Making Life All It Can Be
—Martha Herbert, MD
Experts are Warning
Indeed, it took decades to have the truth emerge on risks from tobacco, asbestos, and lead paint, but in the case of electromagnetic fields experts warn that, because of the ubiquitous exposures, we must act with urgency to prevent consequences of potentially catastrophic proportions.
Ominously, in 2013, Harvard autism expert, Martha Herbert, MD, published an article indicating that the very same biological changes happening in autism happen with electromagnetic field exposures.20
She says the evidence is sufficient now to warrant new public exposure standards, and strong, interim precautionary practices. “With dramatic increases in reported ASCs (autism spectrum conditions) that are coincident in time with the deployment of wireless technologies, we need aggressive investigation of potential ASC–EMF/RFR links”, says Dr. Herbert.
Autism now affects approximately 1 in 50 school age children21, up from 1 in 1,500 in the 1990s, when the widespread proliferation of antenna infrastructure began.22 MIT Senior Research Scientist Stephanie Seneff of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory projects 1 in 2 children will be on the autism spectrum by 2032. If there is even a small chance EMFs could be playing a role in the growth of autism, along with other factors, like vaccines, mercury and glyphosate, the topic certainly deserves our immediate attention, given the condition’s continued non-stop growth and the seriously alarming projections.
Dr. Herbert says, “EMF/RFR from WiFi and cell towers can exert a disorganizing effect on the ability to learn and remember, and can also be destabilizing to immune and metabolic functions. This will make it harder for some children to learn, particularly those who are already having problems in the first place.”
Beyond RF impacts on attention, memory, and behavior, in extreme cases, children are exhibiting signs of “digital dementia”, where

“I can say with conviction, in light of the science, and in particular in light of the cellular and DNA science, which has been my focus at Columbia University for several decades, putting radiating antennas in schools (and in close proximity to developing children) is an uninformed choice.”

overuse of technology leads to symptoms comparable to dementia in the elderly.23 We should be aghast that this is occurring to children, and that companies are allowed to push wireless technology on them without regard to the short- or long-term consequences.
In commercial or industrial grade WiFi, found in schools, where the RF radiation is designed to be strong enough to easily go through cement walls, and to handle dozens to hundreds of users, the rate of cardiac arrest in children can be 40x the expected rate. Instead of addressing increasing incidence of heart irregularities in children by turning off the WiFi, some schools are sheepishly addressing the problem by installing defibrillators.24 This is clearly no solution.
There is a statistically significant increased risk for brain cancer from cell phone use, enough to now upgrade the IARC classification to Group 1 ‘Carcinogen’ from ‘Possible Carcinogen’ according to recently published studies.25 Young people who begin using cell phones heavily before age 20 have four to five times more risk of brain cancer by their late 20s.26 Risk has been shown to increase with years and total hours of use, as would be expected.

School of Public Health at the University at Albany/SUNY, says, “There is clear and strong evidence that intensive use of cell phones increases the risk of brain cancer, tumors of the auditory nerve and cancer of the parotid gland, the salivary gland in the cheek by the ear.”
In a letter to a school Board of Trustees, Martin Blank, PhD, of the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University, and author of “Overpowered: The Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) and What You Can Do About It,” says, “I can say with conviction, in light of the science, and in particular in light of the cellular and DNA science, which has

We are allowing the population to be continually exposed to biologically disturbing wireless technologies that can make people tired, irritable, distracted, depressed, anxious, addicted, unproductive, unfriendly, and feeling like “zombies”, and that can also lead to many illnesses, including many serious and life-threatening ones, like brain tumors and other cancers. Significant harm is being done to our society biologically, psychologically, spiritually and economically right before our eyes.
been my focus at Columbia University for several decades, putting radiating antennas in schools (and in close proximity to developing children) is an uninformed choice.” He adds, “Assurances that the antennas are within ‘FCC guidelines’ is meaningless today, given that it is now widely understood that the methodology used to assess exposure levels only accounts for one type of risk from antennas, the thermal effect from the power, not the other known risks, such as non-thermal frequencies, pulsing, signal characteristics, etc. They fail also to consider multiple simultaneous exposures from a variety of sources in the environment, and cumulative exposures over a lifetime. Compliance with FCC guidelines, thus, unfortunately, is not in any way an assurance of safety today, as the guidelines are fundamentally flawed.” 27
In 2015, 190 EMF scientists from 39 countries sent an International EMF Scientist Appeal to the United Nations, saying the World Health Organization has an internal conflicting stance on risks from electromagnetic fields, that needs strengthening, calling for protection of humans and wildlife.28 Columbia’s Dr. Martin Blank was the Appeal’s spokesperson. Watch video here:
To date, there is evidence of a connection between electromagnetic fields and nine cancers: Glioma (brain cancer), Acoustic Neuroma (tumor on acoustic nerve), Meningioma (tumor of the meninges), Salivary Gland cancer (parotid gland in cheek), Eye Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Leukemia, Thyroid Cancer and Breast Cancer. In five of these cancers, the RF-cancer connection has now been identified in multiple studies and in multiple countries.29

Approximately 3-5% of people are also estimated to be electrically sensitive in developed countries,30 with up to 35% mildly electrically sensitive.
Overall, the risks and warnings from scientists the world over do not paint a pretty picture, given that billions of people are now using cell phones and wireless devices, while mistakenly thinking they are safe. Wireless radiation is blanketing employees in offices, the sick in hospitals, travelers in hotels, schoolchildren in schools, people in their homes and bedrooms, and even newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit at one Los Angeles hospital.31
Young people of childbearing age have no idea that a fetus’ exposure to RF radiation in utero can lead to biological effects, such as effects on the brain and on organs,32 and to greater instances of emotional and social difficulties later in childhood.33 Young men don’t know that they regularly incur risks to fertility by placing a cell phone in their pants pocket.34 Elders sleeping near a WiFi router, or near a portable phone, have not been told these exposures can impact cognitive function, or lead to heart irregularities and accelerated aging.35
In this video on risks from electromagnetic fields in pregnancy, The Baby Safe Project,36 a collaboration between Grassroots Environmental Education and Environmental Health Trust, features Yale University’s Chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Dr. Hugh Taylor; Dr. Devra Davis of Environmental Health Trust; and Dr. Leo Trasande from NYU Langone School of Medicine.

People of childbearing age will want to listen carefully to what these experts are saying, and to hear about Dr. Taylor’s research in animals showing association between cell phone exposure in utero and symptoms similar to ADHD in offspring.
Devra Davis, PhD says, “Growing evidence tells us that men who want to father healthy babies should follow manufacturers advice and keep phones out of their pockets. Pregnancy is also a time of obvious vulnerability, which is why growing numbers of physicians advise young women to avoid direct exposure to their abdomens of the microwave radiation from cell phones and other wireless transmitting devices.” She adds, “People have a fundamental right to know why and how to protect their capacity to have children when and if they choose to do so.”
Why is mainstream media ignoring the EMF science when so many people, across all ages, are at risk?
Path of Darkness
Technology developers and manufacturers are also now developing the coming ‘Internet of Things’(IoT), where appliances and equipment in our lives will be wirelessly communicating constantly in our homes, but this bodes poorly for health, adding to the present exposures. Why would we want to have wireless radiation from multiple electronics blanketing us in the sanctuary of our home, and without the ability to ever turn them off? Not only is this a health issue, but it is a privacy issue, giving third parties opportunities to study our behaviors in detail, for their commercial purposes.
The FCC has given the green light to move forward with 5th generation (5G) wireless technology, saying it is in the interest of U.S. ‘economic activity,’ and it recently reallocated parts of the spectrum for it. 5G will utilize ultra-high frequencies (24 to 100+ GHz compared to 2.4 and 5 GHz currently used). Ultra-high frequencies are being permitted, despite research on 2G (GSM) technology showing risks for brain and heart tumors in federal government animal studies; despite 3G (UMTS) technology, though 1000x lower power than 2G, demonstrating several times the cancer risk compared to 2G,37 ostensibly due to factors other than power, such as modulation (which has been shown to impact

DNA repair genes38); and, despite no health research having yet been conducted on 4G. Nonetheless, outgoing FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler says the country will be covered in a massive deployment of new 5G small cells, on which there has also been no health research. While smaller cells may not be as visible to the public as large cell towers, their presence—and radiation—will be ubiquitous and potentially much more dangerous and biologically disruptive than the radiation we experience today.39
It is estimated the 5G market, well underway by developers now, will grow to hundreds of millions of dollars in the next decade.
Of equal concern, large media companies like SpaceX, Google, Facebook, OneWeb, and Outernet are planning to launch WiFi from the air and space, using satellites, balloons and drones. The Google Loon project is an example.40
This type of out-of-the-box R&D may give tech employees a sense of purpose, with the novelty being a welcomed stimulant, perhaps, but the real value in connecting all material things in our lives, or in using space for communications, interfering with the atmosphere, when far safer and more energy-efficient hard-wired options exist, has yet to
be explained. For our health, of course, we would want to be pushing entirely different ‘edges’, such as developing meaningful connections among people, and communities, not inanimate machines, and restoring our lost relationship with nature, while using the safer, faster and more secure wired technology options that are readily available.
It appears many in technology circles really don’t understand this, for they seem to regularly mistake what is only a facsimile of interconnection for our real potential in this regard. There is no intrinsic value in ‘integrating us with our information,’ or in tethering us to our devices, or in giving data companies the ability to analyze us for their commercial gain, all while using a tremendous amount of energy to sustain wireless equipment and to store data. Product development should instead aim, fundamentally, to meet a market need, while being mindful of health, and of environmental and social impacts.
We are in a new business era, and companies will increasingly be called to account for evidence of social responsibility. We are seeing

this in the loud demands for non-GMO food, for transparency in product ingredients, in the fair trade movement, in calls for vaccine injury accountability, and, for example, recently in the market response to the first interactive, internet-connected Barbie doll, ‘Hello Barbie’. Hello Barbie was lambasted by irate parents over privacy and security concerns, designated “Worst Toy of the Year” by Campaign for Commercial Free Childhood41 and flopped in the marketplace, achieving only a small fraction of predicted sales.
There are many international groups now calling for wireless companies and their executives to be brought before the International Criminal Court at the Hague for crimes against humanity, as well more and more academics voicing concern about the effects of overuse of technology, and internet addiction, in our culture. And yet ironically, some technology executives who seduce us into thinking non-stop, biologically-disruptive communications technology is actually desirable probably believe that they are doing us a favor. The myopia, and focus on growth at any cost, is profound. As a society, we need to be asking what is at the root of this myopia. How did it happen that so many in technology circles are overlooking one of the most important aspects of life—health—seemingly in denial that we are electromagnetic ourselves? Can it really be only about the greed?
Waking Up—Before the Tipping Point
The day will arrive when the profound injury to our lives and future generations from wireless technologies will be known, including not just the biological and health effects, and links to disease, but the psychological effects, like poorly developed self-worth, and other effects, such as compulsive behaviors, addiction and isolation. We are being conditioned like rats on a treadmill, increasingly addicted to technology and unable to stop taking the drug. Many children have never known the quality of life possible un-tethered to the non-stop universe. They don’t know peace, or the sense of safety and inner guidance possible in complete stillness, when one is deeply connected to the natural world, or in community, and not connected to man-made electronics.
What we are increasingly sacrificing in the modern wireless world are relationships of meaning and fulfillment among people, and the awareness that humans and the ecosystem are intended to live in an

active, living, supportive and joyful relationship. Instead, many people, including children, are attached to the stimulant of technology, ‘eating the apple’ so to speak, ignoring the Garden of Eden before us. We are on a path of decay and decline, and will remain on this path as long as we are still captured by, and addicted to, the stimuli.
A day of reckoning will arrive. Like with young children without impulse control, individuals, adults and children alike, will have to learn their own lessons on this the hard way, seeing the most important things evaporate, beginning with relationships and support systems. This is already happening across all age groups. For all of the ‘interconnectedness’ promised by technology, people appear less connected in the true sense of the word, and lonelier than ever.
And it is not just humans who are hurting from exposures to radiation. In 2014, the U.S. Department of the Interior said that the FCC standards for radiofrequency radiation do not adequately protect wildlife. This was a watershed moment. I continue to wonder when public sector leaders in this country will not only acknowledge the impact of this radiation on humans, animals, plants and the ecosystem (in droves), but act on it with urgency. What do people have their minds on that could be more important than a foreboding human health and environmental catastrophe from electromagnetic fields that will ultimately impact our sustainability? Indeed, we need a complete rethinking of the way we live on this Earth, in so many regards.
It is important to understand that the evidence for biological effects from this radiation is not new. Evidence of harm dates back decades to military research, decades before there even was a consumer cell phone or wireless industry. It may not have mattered so much in the early years of these technologies, when users were in military settings, and the exposures were not at all widespread. But today, we are living in a dense sea of radiation, day and night. And exposures are accelerating at a rapid pace, and will continue to get worse unless people, including policymakers, unite to question what is happening in our living environment.
The list of known biological effects is now very long, and presents a compelling rationale for rapidly scrapping the way the FCC assesses cell phone and wireless safety, and for developing exposure guidelines

that consider not only any thermal effects of the radiation, but the non-thermal (non-heating), and other effects, as well. Martin Blank, PhD and Reeba Goodman, PhD of Columbia University have wisely suggested using changes in DNA biochemistry as a definitive measure of risk across all the different types of frequencies.42
Given that we have FCC regulators with links to the wireless industry and significant conflicts of interest, prospects for voluntary change at the FCC are slim. It will likely be the legal system that will ultimately drive change.
A case under the Americans with Disabilities Act is underway in Massachusetts by parents of a 12-year-old experiencing electrosensitivity symptoms from 5Ghz WiFi at a private school,seeking accommodation for the child. Expert hearings are expected to be completed shortly, and a judicial decision will be made on whether the science is substantial enough to support the condition ‘electrosensitivity’. The lawsuit would then proceed to either a judicial decision or a jury trial.
In a multi-party lawsuit on cell phone risks (Murray et al v. Motorola et al) in 2014, Judge Frederick H. Weisberg, said:
“If there is even a reasonable possibility that cell phone radiation is carcinogenic, the time for action in the public health and regulatory sectors is upon us. Even though the financial and social cost of restricting such devices would be significant, those costs pale in comparison to the cost in human lives from doing nothing, only
to discover thirty or forty years from now that the early signs were pointing in the right direction. If the probability of carcinogenicity is low, but the magnitude of the potential harm is high, good public policy dictates that the risk should not be ignored.”
But we cannot afford to wait for government, the legal system, or the health care system to effectively respond before acting to protect and preserve our biology. People can do a lot now preventatively to protect health, if they understand the risks, while also encouraging an appropriate response from our government, especially Congress.

Connection to Costs
So let’s turn back to prevention, and our health care system. Presently, we are paying for a bloated, expensive, pharmaceutical and treatment- oriented health care system that is not educating people about the need to minimize exposures to wireless radiation (or other environmental factors) when a lot of peoples’ problems stem from these exposures. Instead, we wait until the symptoms appear and then treat them with pharmaceuticals, modulating physiology, but never addressing the roots of the problem. This is a no-win situation.
People are given sleeping pills, for example, instead of being told to try turning off the wireless router, or heart medications, instead of being told wireless radiation can lead to heart irregularities (in one study increasing the heart rate in 40% of subjects—almost doubling the rate in one subject)43. Children by the millions are being given ADHD medications, while increasingly tethered to biologically disturbing wireless devices that could be contributing to attention difficulties. Homeowners across the country do not know the new radiating utility meters are making them sick, or that they can, in many cases, opt-out.44 The list goes on. Our health is being eroded by these exposures, yet many are under our daily control.
In a Harvard Safra Center for Ethics report, “Captured Agency: How the Federal Communications Commission is Dominated by the Industries it Presumably Regulates,” the authors said ‘public ignorance’ is the best ally of industry. But this ignorance aboutwireless impacts won’t last. People are increasingly motivated to find solutions to their health challenges themselves, in part due to the new, very high deductible insurance plans. This is good. As health costs rise higher and higher, sooner or later more and more people will likely
connect the dots between a wide range of health challenges and wireless devices and infrastructure—ranging from inflammation-related problems, like joint pain, to
neurological diseases, heart irregularities, brain tumors, low fertility, and cancers—and decide to minimize their personal exposures.
31
Significant harm is being done to our society biologically, psychologically, spiritually and economically right before our eyes.
While the new health insurance mandate aims to assure the health care system can be there for people’s health care costs, such as expensive (and for most people, prohibitive) hospitalization costs, capping patients annual out-of-pocket costs, the system certainly isn’t serving patients’ interests in prevention now, or attempting to understand the root sources of imbalance driving the growth in chronic illnesses in the first place, such as electromagnetic fields. It’s worthwhile to attempt to make care affordable for people, but the current approach is trying to patch the health care system way downstream, well after many, if not most, illnesses could have been prevented.
Only when we start focusing on root sources of imbalances, like EMFs, as well as food and water toxicity, chemicals in every day products, GMOs, glyphosate, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, poor nutrition, etc., and decide to teach people how to live healthily, will we be offering
the quality of care that has a chance of actually getting people better. Otherwise, without telling people the truth on these matters, we’ve essentially given up on peoples’ health potential from the get-go.
When it comes to EMFs, we are allowing the population to be continually exposed to biologically disturbing wireless technologies that can make people tired, irritable, distracted, depressed, anxious, addicted, unproductive, unfriendly, and feeling like ‘zombies’, and that can lead to many illnesses, including many serious and life-threatening ones, like brain tumors. Significant harm is being done to our society biologically, psychologically, spiritually and economically right before our eyes. A poll by Common Sense Media reported on by CNN recently indicated half of teenagers believe they are addicted to their smart phones.45
Isn’t it time we courageously acknowledge the damaging impact of cell phones and wireless technologies, and find a new path forward?
Why should we, in essence, be agreeing to be the collateral damage of the wireless industry’s misguided values that are damaging humans, animals and nature, and especially children, on an unprecedented scale, for their commercial gain?
I encourage all to stand up for health, start asking questions and demand that this dark industry, that is propagating illness and death, be properly regulated to protect our health and that of future generations.

You could imagine feeling like a kid again. There is more than stress involved in that feeling of being “off”.
No matter what you do, you can’t loose weight
The world seems to be loosing it’s charm to be able to renew us. (No it isn’t them.)
Your batteries don’t recharge
The reasons aren’t obvious
What has changed so much? For one, we are an accumulation of a few generations of bad habits that don’t support us. Plus a bunch of new cultural changes that don’t work.
As a culture, we believe factory built chemicals can sustain us.
Our drinking water is heavily tainted with drugs, killing even its healthy neighbors
The air which used to be regenerative is full of exhaust, pollution, and chemtrails
The earth is warming up under us like it’s in a microwave . .er . . . and . . . it is in one.
Competing signals like EMF are like our own body’s signals but they can tangle
Our regenerative resources are not replenishing fast enough and being removed more quickly without regard to what our natural bodies need
OUR FOCUS ON WHAT OUR BODIES NEED MUST BE CONSTANT
Our soil, air, water and magnetic energies are clogged with EMF type broadcasts that stop our systems from receiving the regenerative signals we used to receive. Our own body’s wireless system works similarly and we can get lost in what is our own. We need to sort that out. We won’t be able to drive cars with heavy doses of wireless and have our health survive. (Even Nicola Tesla had a plan) Nothing short of removal of clogging signals and adding regenerative signals will due. Begin to focus on what restores us.
EMF is radiation. Dr. Ruggiero is learning that our cells cells can be taught to sustain greater levels of radiation by finding organisms that are good at it and finding that they can teach our organisms. This is good! (And we have to wait for it). He drops hints.
First things first. We need to have the “teaching organisms” within us. That would be the ones in Bravo Yogurt. They set up a microbiome which will complete us and eventually teach us to protect ourselves. His new product is being patented and is not yet available. But we are putting the pieces together!! Here is what we know.
Bravo Yogurt is restorative to our bodies and increases the communication and function of our systems. The microbiome is what learns to become more resilient to radiation! We need to continue to build this Bravo microbiome and it’s communication network. Check here for more on Bravo Yogurt
The hints that Dr. Ruggiero is giving us is to use imuno, yogurt, and GABA topically 1 hour before going to sleep. This will build a microbiome on the skin, increase the movement within the skin and turns on the power.
Limit tech and turn off our wi-fi systems to cut unnecessary signals to our bodies. We can then protect our own communication network by having less signal.
One simple thing we can do . . . 1 hour before sleep
To increase restorative sleep and pull us out of “Shallow Sleep Syndrome” we use what we call “E-ZZZs” by taking 4 capsules 1 hour before bed it resets the metabolic restoration process in about 180 days. (Other ways to do a reset are GAPS diet and “give it all” exercise). The ingredients of E-ZZZs are melatonin, ashwaganda, 5-HTP, l-theonine, magnesium, zinc, arginine, and lysine. (Plus going to bed early). You are going to love the restorative properties it provides to our sleep, to your nervous system, and digestion! I received more energy, auto weight loss and restorative properties. Tell your body to re-make YOUR BODY into your best body ever. Keep the Light on.
