 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

0:58 Stress and COVID-19 
1:39 Stress and immunity 
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

Today we’re going to talk about the coronavirus vs. flu differences and similarities. 

Flu vs. coronavirus symptoms:

Influenza symptoms:
• Aches 
• Fatigue
• Chills 
• Headaches

Coronavirus symptoms:
• Shortness of breath 
• Difficulty breathing

The flu and the coronavirus share some symptoms, such as:
• Fever
• Dry cough
• Respiratory symptoms 

Both the flu and the coronavirus can be transmitted the same way. A few ways they can be transmitted are:
• Sneezing 
• Coughing 
• Contact 

Coronavirus vs. flu onset:

• The flu comes on very quickly, often between one and two days.
• The coronavirus symptoms come on more gradually between three to seven days. 

Coronavirus vs. flu death rates:

Flu deaths:
• Typically occur from secondary bacterial pneumonia and heart attacks.

Coronavirus deaths:
• Typically occur from ARDS 

Coronavirus vs. flu—Whose at risk?

• The flu virus targets the elderly, people with a weak immune system, people with a chronic health problem, children, and pregnant women. 
• The coronavirus targets the elderly and people with pre-existing health problems. 

Coronavirus vs. flu recent CDC estimates (October 2019-March 7th 2020):

Influenza in the USA alone:
• 51 million infections
• 24 million medical visits
• 670,000 hospitalizations
• 55,000 deaths
• Worldwide – 250,000-500,000 deaths

Coronavirus (worldwide):
• 200,000 cases 
• 8,246 deaths
• 82,000 recoveries 
• 107,000 mild cases 
• 6,000 critical cases 

At this time, I would do whatever I can to strengthen my immune system. I would create more health in my body and take the right nutrients.

Today we’re going to talk about herbal detox remedies. If you use herbal detox formulas, this video is for you. 

Many times when people take powerful natural remedies or herbal remedies, you kill little microbes. When you kill these microbes, they release little particles and byproducts. This can cause you to start feeling sick with things you didn’t even have before the herbal remedy. 

If you’re going to use herbal detox remedies, you need to also consider taking something at the same time that will counter the detox reaction. 

What to consider taking at the same time as you take herbal detox remedies:

1. Bentonite clay
2. Activated charcoal 
3. Zeolite

Today we’re going to talk about the immune benefits of vitamin C. Vitamin C does a lot of different things for your health, but it’s immune benefits are really amazing. 

Vitamin C deficiencies are actually a very common problem. You can have what’s called a subclinical vitamin C deficiency, where you’re not completely deficient, but you’re deficient enough to have a weakened immune system. Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient. This means that unless you’re constantly getting vitamin C, you could become deficient very quickly. 

Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant. Free-radicals can damage certain things in the body. Vitamin C can help counter free-radical damage. 

Immune benefits of vitamin C:

1. Enhanced antibodies 
2. Increased neutrophil motility 
3. Enhanced B-cells (increases antibodies)
4. Enhanced T-cells (helps fight pathogens)
5. Increased interferon (kills infected cells)

 A vitamin C deficiency can make you more susceptible to certain infections. If you’re very deficient in vitamin C, you can develop scurvy. Scurvy can increase susceptibility to fatal infections like pneumonia. Scurvy is often followed by infectious epidemics because infections increase the need for vitamin C. If you’re using your immune system more, you can deplete your vitamin C reserves. 

Causes of a vitamin C deficiency:

1. Not getting enough vitamin C from the diet
2. An infection that puts stress on the immune system

 How much vitamin C do you need?

• You need at least 200mg of vitamin C per day.

Foods high in vitamin C are:

• Sauerkraut 
• Leafy greens 
• Bell peppers
• Hot peppers

If you’re going to take vitamin C supplements, make sure that you take a whole-food-based complex vitamin C supplement, not a synthetic vitamin C supplement.

2:01 Magnesium and calcium relationship 

In this video, we’re going to talk about magnesium and calcium. I’m going to explain the interesting effect magnesium has on calcium. 

Magnesium is involved in over 350 biochemical reactions. It’s a coenzyme involved in enzyme reactions. It’s also a key electrolyte. 

Magnesium is also involved in:

• Muscle relaxation
• Nerve transmission 
• Fluid balance 
• pH
• ATP production
• Mood 
• Anti-stress
• Sleep 
• Bone physiology 
• Heart physiology 
• Supporting insulin

Magnesium is very important. But, up to 60% of the population has a subclinical magnesium deficiency. Subclinical means that it won’t show up on a blood test, but you’re still deficient. The deficiency is inside of the cell. 98% of your magnesium is inside of the cell, not outside of the cell. So, if you get a blood test and find that your magnesium levels are normal in your blood, it may not really mean anything. 

• The RDAs of magnesium for men are 420 milligrams. 

• The RDAs of magnesium for women are 320 milligrams. 

Good sources of magnesium:

• Pumpkin seeds 
• Spinach 
• Swiss chard 
• Sunflower seeds
• Leafy greens 
• Salmon

One of the important things magnesium does is keeping calcium outside of the cell. If there is enough magnesium in the cell, it can prevent calcium from going inside of the cell and creating damage.

When there’s low magnesium, and calcium gets out of control, you can start getting:

• Calcification
• Hyperexcitability of the nervous system
• Insulin problems 
• Stiffness 
• Sticky blood 
• The liver can start to produce too much glucose
• Kidney stones

3:42 How to get good bacteria
3:49 Other benefits of microbes

Did you know that your body can’t make vitamins? But your friendly bacteria are vitamin-making machines.

Your good bacteria in the gut can make:

• Vitamin K – stops bleeding
• Vitamin B12 – supports the nervous system and blood
• Vitamin B1 – may benefit the nervous system, brain, and heart
• Vitamin B2 – helps break down carbs, protein, and fat to turn into energy
• Vitamin B3 – may help you regulate cholesterol, support brain function, and support joint health
• Vitamin B5 – a coenzyme in a lot of biochemical reactions including making protein
• Vitamin B6 – may help with PMS symptoms, edema, and carpal tunnel syndrome
• Biotin – is important for your hair, skin, and nails
• Folate – may help protect DNA and is involved in making DNA

If there is something not right with your gut flora, you could be deficient in all of these important vitamins. You can get these good microbes by consuming fermented foods—especially sauerkraut. Your microbes help you in many different ways. So, it’s not just about eating healthy. It’s about preserving the good bacteria that help you make vitamins so you can be healthy.

Your good bacteria also make:

• Enzymes
• Amino acids
• Lactase

In this video, we’re going to talk about the pre-symptoms of diabetes. 

Prediabetes symptoms:

1. Darkened skin (in the body folds)
2. Poor memory
3. Tired after eating 
4. Belly fat
5. Hunger and cravings 
6. Slow healing 
7. Urination at night/increased thirst
8. Dry mouth 
9. Itchy
10. Blurred vision 

The thing is, you could have all of these symptoms, and your blood sugar levels may still not be high. This is because, way before you get diabetes or even prediabetes, you have high insulin. You probably have high insulin from consuming a high-carb diet and eating too frequently. 

Too much insulin is toxic, so you will develop insulin resistance. This can go on for years until you eventually develop prediabetes and then diabetes. 

This can be an easy problem to solve if you understand that all of these symptoms are really side effects of too much insulin and too much blood sugar. In my opinion, the obvious thing to do to help with this situation would be to cut down on the carbohydrates in the diet.

1:32 Erythritol side effects 

Today we’re going to talk about the dangers and benefits of erythritol. 

What is erythritol?
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol. It’s an alternative sweetener, and it’s 60-70% as sweet as sugar. It has less than 25% of 1 calorie per gram. Sugar has 4 calories per gram. Erythritol has .24 calories per gram. It has 95% less calories than sugar. 

Erythritol gets absorbed in the small intestine, it gets in the blood, but it gets excreted by the kidney unchanged. The microbes don’t like to eat it. There aren’t many negative side effects of erythritol. It has zero impact on insulin—it doesn’t affect the blood sugars. 

*As long as it’s non-GMO, I think erythritol is a great alternative sweetener. 

The dangers of erythritol in high doses (greater than 50 grams): 

1. Gas
2. Bloating 
3. Stomach noise
4. A laxative effect

0:30 The most important question to ask
0:45 Examples
3:22 My question for you

Today I want to give you a very important tip to help figure out health problems. This is so simple, but it’s so important. This is one of the most important questions to ask yourself or someone else when trying to figure out health issues.

The most important question to ask when figuring out health problems is: “What happened just before you experienced the health condition?”

There is always a trigger. It could be food-related, stress-related, or environmental. If you have a health problem, think about what happened just before you started to experience that health complaint.

3:04 More effects of sugar on the arteries 
4:16 Gluconeogenesis
4:32 Antioxidants 
5:16 A good natural remedy 

Today we’re going to talk about what sugar and your arteries. For a diabetic, probably the biggest damage from high amounts of sugar in the blood is done to the vascular system. 

The macrovascular system:
These are the large vessels like the coronary artery, which supplies the heart muscle. This also includes peripheral arteries throughout the body. 

The microvascular system:
These are small capillaries that go to the retina in the eye, the kidneys, and the nerves in your feet and hands. 

Sugar basically rusts out your vascular system. It creates all sorts of oxidation. The layer of the inside of the blood vessel is called the endothelium. The endothelium controls the tone of the blood vessels, and it prevents things from invading the blood vessels. The endothelium is also highly sensitive to too much sugar. 

Glucose can create inflammation in the arteries, which is the beginning stage of a sequence of events that can end in a blockage in your artery. 

Oxidation can create a lot of serious effects within the body that you may not know is going on until you have a problem. It can thicken the inside of the blood vessels creating stiffness. 

High sugar can also cause insulin resistance, which can create decreased blood flow. A lot of the neurological damage that occurs from diabetes comes from the damaged blood vessels that starve off the nerves. 

Sugar can also have effects on the arteries, including:

• Creating advanced glycated end-products, which are very toxic to the arteries and the rest of the body. 

• You can start to develop excessive amounts of sorbitol, which can lead to cataracts, blindness, and peripheral neuropathy. 

Your body actually has the ability to make sugar if needed. This is called gluconeogenesis. But, none of these effects happens during gluconeogenesis. This is because your body also makes antioxidants that protect against the complications of high-sugar. This is another reason why you should eat foods high in antioxidants. Another potential natural remedy for some of these conditions is called benfotiamine.

0:05 What is anxiety?
0:16 My experience with anxiety 
2:06 Flight or fight 
3:43 What I’ve noticed in people with anxiety
4:04 How to stop anxiety 

Today we’re going to talk about anxiety and how to turn off anxiety like a switch. The term anxiety comes from the Latin word “angere” which means “to strangle.” 

An interesting book called “Autonomic Nerves” describes fight or flight as: “The flight or fight reaction is a physiological response to a real or perceived threat to one’s safety. Depending on the nature of the threat, the person either mounts a defense (fight), or attempts to escape from a threat (flight). Both fight or flight require sudden vigorous muscle action.” 

What having anxiety feels like:

1. Racing heart 
2. Sweating 
3. Shaking 
4. Throat constricted 
5. Breathing changes 
6. Blurry vision/dizziness 
7. Nausea 
8. Irritation 
9. Worry 
10. Poor concentration 
11. Mind goes blank 
12. Focus on the negative 
13. Sleeplessness

I’ve noticed many people with anxiety have a poor diet filled with stimulants. In many cases, they also seem to be depleted of vitamin B1. 

How to control anxiety: 

1. Probiotics 
2. B-vitamins (especially B1)
3. Magnesium 
4. Avoid environmental triggers
5. Adaptogens

1:21 The best natural laxatives

3:39 Correct the real problem 

 In this quick video, I’m going to share with you the 7 best natural laxatives. If you’re constipated, it could be that the problem that you have is mainly in the large intestine more than the small intestine. The large intestine has smooth muscle that allows it to contract and push food along the tract. 

The best natural laxatives:

1. Senna 
2. Cascara sagrada 
3. Black psyllium (swells with water)
4. Castor oil 
5. Magnesium 
6. Vegetables (fermented)
7. Probiotics 

People often say they don’t want to take a laxative because they may be addicting. But, the toxic effect of having chronic constipation can be very dangerous to the body vs. the minor side effect of taking a laxative. 

You might experience a small drop in potassium from taking a laxative, but you can easily take more potassium. Ultimately, you want to correct what’s really causing the constipation, which usually is what you’re eating, or a lack of friendly bacteria.
