Comprehensive and intriguing as always in your posts! It is good work.
I suspect I am not alone as one who would appreciate a "Story-At-A-Glance" bullet point review at the top as do your colleagues A Midwestern Doctor and Dr. Mercola among others. I will always appreciate YOUR summary rather than a hack AI guessing game review.
As a long time GreenMedInfo member and on who appreciates the scope of your awareness of so many things surrounding us through this remarkable time to be alive, I wonder how this expression about the times strikes you, if you have the time and inclination. It takes a step outside the box I believe you and your expansive mind will appreciate.
I've read recently Mercola has gone off the deep end. I no longer trust him. Check out Robert Yoho MD on substack... it's very interesting what he has to say.
I heard something similar... but I can't imagine going through the horrendous pressures that he (and Sayer Ji) went through in recent years without it impacting on a profound level. It must be especially hard to contend with such profound criticism when you possess a well-formed ego - there's much scope for illusion / delusion in that scenario. But, it's very human to falter like this, and ultimately, I feel that the remembrance of our humanity is what's going to help us navigate our way out of this dark period in history. So I hope you don't abandon Dr. Mercola completely, but instead, simply question everything you read, or run it past your intuitive senses... I read his stuff a lot less, but I am ready to wade in and offer him my heart-felt support if he ever choses to go public with what he's been through...
I think we have perhaps collectively contributed to the problem...? Many of us have elevated 'health gurus' to God-like status, looking to them to provide all the answers (at the expense of retaining a sense of personal responsibility), especially in the early years of this decade, when we relied so heavily on them to keep us constantly informed about the ongoing horror story. I hope we never forget how important each and every brave voice was back then.
Maybe. Dr. Mercola is an osteopath and is in Florida. His clinic was in the Midwest. Neither of these rules out your hypothesis. However, A Midwestern Doctor claims to have a psychiatry practice, a claim Dr. Mercola, to my knowledge didn't make. However it is food for thought.
How are you responding to this? My husband had a very strange reaction to Aurmina. Jitteryness, and a feeling of incomplete of oxygen intake, like couldn't take a full breath, almost akin to panic attack symptoms.
I had breathing issues before I used Aurmina. I believe that toxins sprayed on us are part of the problem. I have learned the hard way that kidney stress is causing some of my heart and breathing issues. I don’t like fasting, but this always helps me. Consuming less red meats is helping my kidneys, which helps my breathing, too. I use a powder in saline water that is the same as Cavadex. This helps to clear the plaque from my cardiovascular system. I will start paying attention to my breathing after using Aurmina. Thanks!
When I moved to the country I put in an RO. After a few years, noticed the septic field in the pasture was not growing grass very well. Switched back to only well water, no problem. Then, recently I put in a whole house Analemma filter, love it. shower in it, lawn loves it. Coherent structure of water. Interesting website video. Water is God's lifeblood. They also sell water pitchers for traveling, shown to be ok with TSA (not the deadly explosive water, just the pitcher).
Brilliant, thanks, point of order; common many sights is this quote
"This article is for educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before making changes to your health regimen. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."
Where do you find a qualified healthcare practitioner that would have the vaguest clue on this subject. Definitely no one out of any traditional medical school. Yes I do understand that you need to cover your rear end. May be some genuine direction to find such a qualified person. In the meantime we have to cross reference and make informative decisions.
When I heat water for tea/coffee in my glass kettle the glass is completely occluded with minerals after two uses. I'm taking that as evidence of the high mineral content of my bottled water (Evian). (I'm living in a country right now where the tap water is not safe and the only other option is 'purified' water in plastic bottles.
Red algae, an ingredient in Vicara: isn't this carrageenan? There is controversy about its effects on the gut. I have been looking for a mineral additive to our RO water, as I thought perhaps it might be a reason why it doesn't seem to slake thirst. There are so many products on the market, it's hard to fight through the jungle of claims. I was hoping this product would be the answer ??
A thousand apologies! Red algae confused with Red Seaweed. Red seaweed has carrageen; red algae appears to be a healthful thing! I must have been tired when I posted this. Again, my apologies!!
Hello. I hope this message finds you well. This article is great! The way my body functions has changed so much, since moving to AZ where RO water was introduced into my life. I always had a feeling it was something to do with the water.
My only concern is that I recently heard the Celtic Sea Salt had high levels of some heavy metals. Do you know anything about this? I’ve heard the same thing from different sources. The link (below) to the chart shows the findings. Thank you 🙏🏻
Ive read from several different Referenced articles, that tge amount of Lead and Arsenic in Celtic salt is not as much as SOME vegies! E.g. spinage ? ;-)
Many thanks for this clear and important essay. You have provided some references but I'm looking for more data and methods, specifically on the ATP rotation (and the rotation control by VDR, and the mitochondria membrane electron and proton transfers and energy generation of 150–200mV over the membrane. You provide the Lane (2010) citation which gives the words you use, but they don't provide any data, and their reference (49, Bidle, K. D. & Falkowski, P. G., Nature Rev. Microbiol. 2, 643–655, 2004) doesn't either.
I'm hunting but haven't found the key. One reference (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/bi052363n) gives a rotation of 7.62 rad/ms. By my calculation (7.62 x (30,000/π)) would be 72,765.64 RPM. Where am I going wrong? The Harvard database citation is just a repetition of the outcome. I'll keep looking but any advice would be appreciated.
Is there a way to get a free sample of the hydrate very berry? I would really like to try it but it is expensive, and Stevia sometimes it’s just too much so I’m worried about that having been added to this product. Thanks:)
Great article, thank you for the research and time spent writing. I have a curiosity. I’m a certified primal health coach and in my studies about water, I sometimes wonder what if I took the very mineral-ly looking spring. water near my western North Carolina mountain house ( straight out the ground from a small mtn) and simply boil to sterilize and then add to my filtered water. But I can’t find any research on this or any mineral content studies like this. Its cheap, and abundant.
I found your work here top notch and interesting, as usual. It is very relevant to today's world. I have not seen a discussion with the details you described of the thirst instinct before. So often I read that people are over-hydrating if they don't follow that instinct, and this flipped the coin to the other side with a plausible explanation.Thank you.

That's a superb idea! I'll incorporate this into future posts. Thanks

I think A Midwestern Doctor is actually Dr. Mercola :)
AMD has slipped 3 times in posts in the last year steering many to the belief that she is a woman. After the last slip, I am convinced of it.
That's an interesting observation. Very astute of you. I'm guessing you must be right. :) x x x

Sounds like I'm wrong, and that 'he' is probably a 'she' based on what Lori has mentioned... Made me smile! :)

Thank you.
Good info. Which did you decide upon?
We use Aurmina additive to our water. We learned about it from Dr. Pierre Kory and his wife.
How are you responding to this? My husband had a very strange reaction to Aurmina. Jitteryness, and a feeling of incomplete of oxygen intake, like couldn't take a full breath, almost akin to panic attack symptoms.
I had breathing issues before I used Aurmina. I believe that toxins sprayed on us are part of the problem.

PS shown to increase ATP significantly.

Exactly David. Docs don't give informed consent, how are they going to be versed on water at all?????

(I'm living in a country right now where the tap water is not safe and the only other option is 'purified' water in plastic bottles.
i wish the product was not being sold in plastic
Red algae, an ingredient in Vicara: isn't this carrageenan? There is controversy about its effects on the gut. I have been looking for a mineral additive to our RO water, as I thought perhaps it might be a reason why it doesn't seem to slake thirst.

A thousand apologies! Red algae confused with Red Seaweed. Red seaweed has carrageen; red algae appears to be a healthful thing! I must have been tired when I posted this. Again, my apologies!!
The first number under the brand corresponds to Lead levels
The second number to Aluminum levels.
The third number to Arsenic levels.

Very interesting, but it's obvious that you're using AI to write these and AI style, cadence is exceedingly annoying.
