0:09 What you need to know about calcium carbonate
0:28 Calcium carbonate uses—heartburn
1:24 Calcium carbonate uses—bone density
1:52 Calcium carbonate side effects 
2:12 Contraindications to calcium carbonate 
2:49 The dangers of calcium carbonate 

Today we’re going to talk about the side effect of calcium carbonate. A lot of people take calcium carbonate, but they don’t know much about it. 

The biggest thing you need to know is that calcium and other minerals need an acidic medium to be absorbed. If your stomach does not have the acidity you need, the calcium will not be absorbed well.

A lot of people take calcium carbonate for heartburn, and the calcium carbonate dries up the acid in the stomach over time. So not only is the calcium not being absorbed, but it also ends up actually causing heartburn. In my opinion, apple cider vinegar might be a better choice for GERD or heartburn. But, of course, check with your doctor. 

Some studies show that high doses of calcium carbonate also do not increase bone density in osteoporosis. But, it did increase the risk of heart attacks. 

Calcium carbonate may even lower the thyroid function and block a person’s ability to utilize T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone). 

Side effects of calcium carbonate:

1. Loss of appetite
2. Constipation
3. Gas
4. Nausea 
5. Vomiting 
6. A decrease in hydrochloric acid (HCL)

Contraindications to calcium carbonate:

• Kidney stones
• Hypercalcemia 
• Calcification 
• A severe interaction with 210 drugs 

A lot of people are taking massive doses of calcium carbonate, thinking that it will prevent bone loss when it could actually be creating other issues.

In this video, we’re going to talk about carbohydrates and sugars. I want to clear up some of the confusion around carbohydrates and sugars. 

What are carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made up of sugars, starches, and fiber. The biochemical name for a carbohydrate is a saccharide. Carbohydrates are a compound of saccharides, and carbohydrates are classified by the number of saccharides. The Greek word for saccharides is “sugar.”

Monosaccharides—Mono means “single” or “one.” So a monosaccharide would be one saccharide. Monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, or galactose. This would be considered a simple sugar. 

Disaccharides—Means two monosaccharides. An example would be table sugar or sucrose. Sucrose is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. Disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides make up complex carbohydrates. 

Oligosaccharides—These are 3-9 monosaccharides.

Polysaccharides—Poly means “many.” This would be about ten or more monosaccharides. A few examples of polysaccharides would be starches like potatoes, rice, wheat, and corn. Fiber is also an example of a polysaccharide. Fiber helps decrease the absorption of sugar. Fiber also decreases the sugar response or sugar spike.

 Today we’re going to talk about xanthan gum and guar gum. Are they both keto-friendly, and which one is best? 

What is xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum is an additive used in a lot of different foods as a thickener and to provide texture. It’s used in a lot of bread recipes because it can replace gluten. 

Is xanthan gum keto-friendly? 
Xanthan gum usually made from corn, glucose, or soy. It’s technically keto-friendly. It has zero net carbs, and it won’t affect your blood sugars. But, if you were to consume this, you would want to make sure the product you’re buying is non-GMO. 

What is guar gum?
Guar gum comes from the guar bean. 

Is guar gum keto-friendly? 
Guar gum has zero net carbs, and it is keto-friendly. 

Xanthan gum vs. guar gum
Xanthan gum and guar gum are very similar. The big difference is the source. Guar gum is going to be non-GMO naturally. But, Xanthan gum could be GMO, so it’s important to make sure the product you buy is non-GMO.

Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer: (Layperson’s Version)

Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer:

0:12 Professor Thomas Seyfried
1:12 Can cancer cells use ketones? 
3:47 Ketones and tumors 
3:58 Can ketones feed cancer?

In this video, we’re going to talk about ketones and cancer. I want to answer the question, “can ketones feed cancer?”

I actually contacted professor Thomas Seyfried to help me with this question, and this video is based on what he told me. Professor Thomas Seyfried is an expert on cancer and ketones. 

Ketones and fatty acids might be used in some slow-growing tumor cells that have retained some level of respiratory capacity. 

What does that mean?
There is one big difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell. That difference is how that cell is using its fuel. In a normal cell, you have this machine called the respiratory chain that basically takes fuel and turns it into something the body can use to run all of the different metabolic processes. Oxygen is the key thing in this process. 

When this system is damaged, there is no oxygen. So, how do the cells turn oxygen into energy? They have a plan B. They convert over to a different mechanism where they ferment glucose and glutamine, which is a specific type of amino acid. So, cancer cells ferment glucose and glutamine. This alternative mechanism doesn’t need oxygen. 

In other words, unless the cancer cell has retained some of the respiratory chain function, it could potentially use some ketones and fatty acids. 

From all of his research, Professor Thomas Seyfried has found that all tumors show this pattern of the damaged respiratory chain. 

Professor Thomas Seyfried also said that ketones and fatty acids could support the cell’s plan B. But, fatty acids can not support in vitro (outside of the body) tumor cell growth in the absence of glucose-glutamine. 

So, if you were to raise your carbohydrate level and provide glucose or glutamine, and you were also burning ketones, or taking ketones, some tumor cells could potentially use ketones as part of the fuel. But, if you keep the glucose and glutamine very low, the cancer cells can’t support tumor growth.

0:12 Coronavirus treatment 
0:28 What is the treatment for coronavirus?
0:33 Why this new coronavirus treatment may work
1:12 Chloroquine for coronavirus 
2:07 Interesting studies 

In this short video, I want to talk about some good coronavirus news. There has actually been a coronavirus treatment that has been developed and is being tested in a few different countries, including South Korea and China. Now, it’s also going to be used in the USA. 

They’re actually using an old drug that’s being repurposed. It’s called chloroquine. 

The original purpose of chloroquine is for malaria. It kills parasites. But, this treatment may be a very good solution for COVID-19.

Things are starting to get a lot better concerning COVID-19 in places like South Korea and China. So, what are these countries doing differently? One of the things they’re doing is using this medication. 

Chloroquine is a zinc ionophore. A virus invades the cells and hijacks the machinery that reproduces. It then starts to make copies of itself. Zinc has the potential to kill viruses because it shuts down the “copy machine” so that it can’t reproduce anymore. 

The problem is that zinc is an ion, and it has a difficult time crossing the lipid bilayer of the cell. Chloroquine has the ability to take the ion and transport it through the cell. Chloroquine enhances zinc inside of the cell.

0:07 The stress hormone and blood sugars 
0:16 Stress and weight gain 
0:51 My experience with trauma and a blood sugar spike 
1:19 How stress affects your health 

Today we’re going to talk about how stress can actually make you fat. I’ve had some diabetics test their blood sugars when they go through stress, and stress seems to elevate the blood sugars, but why? 

Your body’s response to stress is spiking cortisol. Cortisol has the potential to significantly raise your blood sugars. You could be on the keto diet and doing everything right, but your blood sugars are still going up. This could be because of stress or trauma. 

Stress side effects on weight loss:

• Cortisol can release glucose from your liver.
• It deaminates protein, which means it basically breaks down protein and turns it into glucose. 
• Cortisol can lower your insulin sensitivity, which can lead to inulin resistance. 
• Cortisol will drive the storage of fat to your midsection. This could be why people with a lot of stress end up with weight gain around their midsection.

0:17 Fasting and diabetic eyes
0:32 How fasting affects the eyes
1:20 What’s causing the problem 
1:35 Intermittent fasting benefits 

In this video, we’re going to talk about fasting and diabetes. I want to cover the fasting effects on a diabetic’s eyes.

In a study done on mice, researchers found that fasting had a protective effect on the retina and other nerves. The retina is nerve tissue. They found that fasting improves the microbiome (your friendly bacteria). It causes the microbes to change bile salts to a compound called TUDCA, which then gives protection to your nerves. 

If you’re a diabetic, you could have problems with the vascular supply to the nerves. The nerves can start to die in the fingertips, toes, eyes, and kidneys. TUDCA counters the damage to the nerves not just in the eyes but in other nerves as well. 

What causes this problem originally is the high levels of sugar that a diabetic is living with. Sugar is very corrosive, and it can destroy the nervous system.

When you’re fasting, you’re cutting out sugar and normalizing your insulin levels. When you fast, your microbes improve. 

With fasting your microbes:

• Start to increase the resistance to oxidative stress
• Diversify 
• Live longer 
• Tolerate pathogens better

Making your microbes stronger can also:

• Help you produce certain byproducts that help your blood sugars and improve insulin resistance
• Make more vitamins 
• More immune protection

2:32 How to help reduce stress

Today we’re going to talk about coronavirus resistance. If we look at a virus, like COVID-19, as if it’s our enemy, it has certain strengths and weaknesses. You would never want to attack an enemy from its strengths. You would want to attack its weaknesses. 

What is the strength of a virus? 
The strength of the coronavirus is its ability to kill the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions. Essentially, to attack someone with a weak immune system. 

What is the weakness of a virus?
It doesn’t have hardly any influence over people with a healthy immune system. 

**Your strategy should be strengthening your immune system. 

Healthy eating, consuming foods that are high in nutrients, is vitally important when it comes to strengthening your immune system, and virus resistance. But, when people are stressed, they typically eat unhealthy foods. During a stress state, it’s crucial to continue eating a healthy diet. 

Stress, worry, and fear spikes cortisol. Cortisol has an interesting effect on the immune system. Chronic stress can actually suppress the immune system.

Your immune system is your defense against viruses and pathogens. This is why some people have a virus come out of remission when they’re stressed. Stress can increase the susceptibility to certain pathogens. 

Not only do you need to strengthen your immune system through foods and nutrition, but you also need to keep your stress as low as possible. 

How to help reduce stress:

1. Stay in action—be productive 
2. Stop exposing yourself to bad news 
3. Take long walks 
4. Continue to create a healthy body
