Virus means poison; Sayer Ji

The vocabulary of infectious disease comes from the same place.

Virus is Latin for “poison, poisonous liquid, sap of plants, slimy liquid, a potent juice.” It entered English in the late 14th century meaning “poisonous substance” (Etymonline). It is cognate with Sanskrit viṣá- and Greek iós, all meaning “poison, venom” (Dictionary.com).

Virulent comes from Latin vīrulentus, “full of poison” (Etymonline).

Poison comes from Latin pōtiō, “a drink,” especially “a medical drink,” and later “a (magic) potion” (Etymonline).

Toxic comes from Greek tóxon, “bow.” The toxikon was the poison smeared on arrows (PMC).

So a virus is a poison, a poison is a medical drink, and a toxin is something shot into you from outside. The idea of the “invisible enemy” was in the words long before anyone had a microscope.

 

From Ted Kuntz and his letter to Costco

None of the vaccines on the childhood or adult schedules have been approved and licensed, either individually or in combination, based on the gold standard of safety testing – an inert placebo-controlled clinical trial. [i].

 

Vaccine injury is not “extremely rare” as claimed. Since the creation of the ‘Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System’ (VAERS) in 1990, more than 2.7 million ‘adverse events’ have been reported to VAERS following vaccination.[ii]

 

 A 2011 study by Harvard - Pilgrim Healthcare revealed gross under-reporting due to the passive and voluntary nature of the system with less than 1% of adverse events reported.[iii] This means the actual number of ‘adverse events’ – injuries and deaths following vaccination may well be more than 270 million. This does not include the millions harmed and killed by the COVID injection.

 

Vaccines are actively monitored during safety trials for only a few days or weeks – between 48 hours and 4 weeks. A monitoring window measured in hours or days cannot produce the evidence required to support claims about its long-term safety or efficacy.

 

The study revealed that those who were exposed to one or more vaccines had 200 – 500% higher rates of asthma, autoimmune disease, neurodevelopmental disorders, autism, cancer, and speech delays. Neurological disorders, including brain dysfunction, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities and tics were observed in children who were vaccinated. There were zero cases in the group not exposed to vaccines. [x] A peer-reviewed re-analysis of the Henry Ford study found that vaccinated children are sicker across 22 chronic disease categories. [xi]

 

From Edward Griffin

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a sweeping lawsuit against Pfizer and its CEO, Albert Bourla for hiding the actual number of deaths and miscarriages from the public. According to the complaint, Pfizer’s own adverse-event database contained 158,893 adverse events and 1,223 reported fatalities following vaccination as of February 28, 2021.

At the center of the case is an explosive allegation: Pfizer publicly assured Americans that its mRNA COVID shot was safe while the company possessed internal and external safety information involving myocarditis, miscarriages, strokes, adverse events, and deaths. According to the suit, Pfizer’s pivotal clinical trial did not test whether vaccination prevented person-to-person transmission.

Curcumin Halts Diabetes (When Drugs Could Not)

In 2012, a randomized controlled trial out of Thailand published in the American Diabetes Association's own journal Diabetes Care1 delivered an astonishing result: not a single person in the curcumin-treated group progressed from prediabetes to diabetes over 9 months1. The patients took a curcumin extract (derived from turmeric) and achieved a 100% prevention rate - whereas 16.4% of the placebo group did go on to develop type 2 diabetes1. In other words, curcumin stopped the disease in its tracks for every participant in the treatment arm. Equally remarkable, those taking curcumin saw improvements in beta-cell function (insulin-producing cells) and reduced insulin resistance, with very minor adverse effects reported.2

 

My Take Away

Nature Sunshine Turmeric is the best in the market. The active alkaloid Curcumin is extracted from the turmeric root and that’s what is in the Nature Sunshine Turmeric capsule. One NSP Turmeric capsule is equivalent to 32 capsules of any turmeric you can purchase on the market, It is very concentrated. Now you can see according to the Thailand study how it was significant in reducing insulin resistance.

 

From Sayer Ji

Berberine for Type 2 Diabetes

n 2020, there were more than 92 million prescriptions written for metformin,[v] which can lead to lactic acidosis -- a dangerous buildup of lactic acid in the bloodstream that's fatal in about 50% of cases.[vi] There is another option, however -- berberine.

 

In a study of 36 adults with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes, subjects received either berberine or metformin for three months.[vii] "The hypoglycemic effect of berberine was similar to that of metformin," the researchers found, with significant decreases in A1c -- a measure of average blood sugar levels over the last three months -- fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and plasma triglycerides in the berberine group.

 

In the second part of the study, 48 adults with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes received berberine for three months. The compound was beneficial in this group as well, lowering fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. Further, A1c decreased from 8.1% to 7.3% while fasting plasma insulin was reduced by 28.1%.[viii] Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also went down.

 

Berberine's antidiabetic activity was as good as, or better than, metformin. The two performed equally for glucose metabolism, but berberine far outshined metformin when it came to lipid metabolism. The study found:[ix]

 

Berberine has also had significant results for cancer, obesity, non alcoholic liver disease and heart disease.

"Berberine can be used to treat many diseases, such as cancer and digestive, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. Berberine has protective capacities in digestive diseases. It can inhibit toxins and bacteria, including Helicobacter pylori, protect the intestinal epithelial barrier from injury, and ameliorate liver injury." GMI Research Group

 

My Take Away

Berberine comes from our God given herbs. Here is a quote from GMI research.

“Berberine is an alkaloid found in plants like barberry, goldenseal and goldthread.[i] It's been treasured as an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, with its earliest known medical use dating back to A.D. 200.[ii] If you have diabetes, or prediabetes, this is one compound to be aware of, as it has powerful antidiabetic properties.”

 

In addition to anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering effects, berberine impacts carbohydrate metabolism, increases insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance.[iii] Berberine is, in many ways, a natural alternative to the diabetes drug metformin.

 

It is great to have these research studies done. I am grateful to Sayer Ji for his vast amount of work and research to put these researched studies in a form that is easy to read and understand.

However I have my own observations regarding diseases. There is always the question of why were 92 million people diagnosed with diabetes. What is the cause of diabetes? It appears no one out there in the world of the medical establishment is finding an answer to that question. No one is addressing the cause. This is where my work and my course, TAFYH has a significant role. I work on identifying the cause of the disease before I design a herbal super food program for someone. It is not as simple as taking one product, Berberine that you can find in the Natures Sunshine list of products. However Berberine may be one of the products that is recommended.

Why do all the students in TAFYH get such amazing results after 3 months on their designed herbal super foods program? It is because the cause of their diseased condition has been identified and addressed. It is also that they have learned the power of discernment; to discern weather what they are putting into their mouth is a nutrition or a toxin? In this day we have forgotten how to discern good from evil when it comes to the foods and drugs we consume and the vaccines we put into our bodies. No drug is a food. So does it belong into our body? Every vaccine is a drug so does it belong to our bodies?   To further illustrate my comments, I will share with you an amazing story I received from Judy. Judy is a TAFYH grad and she often attends the Monday night calls.

 

Success Story:  Judy’s Liver Disease Gone!

How many of us have had a wakeup call and did  not pay attention to it.?

 

I have had a few in my life and did not pay attention to it because it would mean I would have to do something about it.

 

Fortunately, I paid attention to this wake-up call.  I always considered myself to be in pretty good health, ate well, had my fruit and veggies, stayed away from junk food and took my vitamins.  Even my friends were shocked when I told them I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.  That didn’t deter me until I found out that I had a toxic liver, non alcoholic fatty liver disease.  That sent out some alarm bells for me.  My doctor suggested I go on a statin drug to lower my cholesterol and bring my blood pressure down.

 

After doing some research on cholesterol I decided NOT to take the statin drug.  Why?  Cholesterol increases in your body because it is protecting your body from infection and heart attacks.

 

After I heard what the doctor said, I left the doctor’s office on a quest to find out what else was available outside the medical field.

 

I shared my dilemma with my friend and asked her if she had any suggestions for me.  She recommended I go to a nutritional seminar so I could make an informed decision.

 

Through that seminar I was introduced to Nature's Sunshine products and the TAFYH program. I was involved with nutritional products before and spent a lot of money but never really understood the relationship of food and super foods until I was introduced to the TAFYH program.   TAFYH stands for Taking Action For Your Health.  That was the piece of puzzle that was missing.

 

TAFYH broadened my horizons and challenged me to look outside the box.   Doctors are human too and do not have ALL the answers for our health.    I found out that doctors need to be educated about nutrition just as much as we do.  TAFYH gave me the education I needed to make an informed decision about my liver problem. I also discovered that the flu shots I was forced to take because of my work every year destroyed my liver.

 

Almost 8 weeks later after taking supplements , eating the right foods, off grains, sugars and starches I have not only  helped my liver but my whole body.

 

My BSQ numbers dropped from 91 to 22

Urinary -10 to 4

Circulation -7 to 4

Nerves -14 to 2

Glandular -13 to 0

Structural -10 to 6

No more cravings

No more constipation

Chronic pain has subsided significantly.

My blood pressure has dropped to the 120’S.

 

My last liver blood test indicated that my ALP -protein found in the body tissues ( liver, bile and bones) dropped to 106.  Normal is 105. My ALT (amount of enzymes in the blood) dropped to 34, normal is 30. When the ALT is up it means that there could be liver damage.  No Hep C was found. I have more energy than I know what to do with. To date have lost 14 lbs.

The program is not a guarantee.  You are the guarantee.  It takes perseverance, dedication, commitment and a willingness to stick to the program.  **Discipline is the bridge between goals ,,,,,,,,

My vision board slogan, "The sticker is the winner" kept me, through all the challenges I faced during this course. It was a slogan my DAD used when we were kids and it has stuck with me.  The only difference is this journey is all about continuing to go forward in this new vision of health. You can't be successful if you don't stick to it.

Thomas Edison said, Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to always try one more time.

Walter Elliott said, Perseverance is not a long race .It is many short races one after the other. The way that TAFYH is designed makes it easy to be accountable and to stick to the protocols.

 

Since starting the TAFYH program my husband has become involved with the program and has  been following the protocols with me.   He has lost 20 lbs., feels fantastic and is now ready to take on the challenge of healing his prostate.

 

My Take Away

Judy did not know  the cause of her liver disease. It was in TAFYH that she learned the cause of her diseased liver. She was an employee for Public Health and she had taken the flu shot every year for years. Little did she know that flu shots have  side effects. These flu shots poisoned her liver. In TAFYH she fed her body with high dense nutrition, she took Cat’s Claw combination and MC  to help clear out the poisons and she did the liver cleanse. It took 3 months and the results were amazing. Judy addressed the root cause. She was the sticker; she stuck to the program.  She gave it 3 months and she got the results she was looking for.

 

 

From Ramandeep at Nature Sunshine

Mental and emotional well-being has become an increasingly important

health conversation in Canada.

According to Statistics Canada, in 2022:

More than 5 million Canadians

aged 15 years and older met diagnostic criteria for a mood, anxiety or

substance use disorder during the previous 12 months.

That's approximately:18% of Canadians aged 15+

The prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders also increased

substantially between 2012 and 2022.

St John’s Word and Passion flower

The formulation can be viewed as addressing two related dimensions of

emotional well-being.

St. John’s Wort: Provides the mood-focused foundation.

Its phytochemistry and clinical research centre primarily around mood and depressive symptoms.

Passion Flower: Provides the calming component.

Its traditional use and emerging pharmacological research focus more heavily on relaxation and nervous-system activity.

 

• St. John’s Wort is a perennial flowering plant belonging to the

Hypericaceae family.

• It is recognized by its:

• Bright yellow flowers

• Opposite green leaves

• Tiny translucent secretory glands

• Dark glandular structures containing characteristic plant pigments

• The species name: perforatum

• comes from the appearance of tiny translucent glands in the leaves that

can make them look as though they have been perforated with tiny

holes when held toward light

 

St. John’s Wort does not have just one single “active ingredient.” • It contains at least 13 multiple classes of naturally occurring phytochemicals.

• Naphthodianthrones

 • Hypericin

• Pseudohypericin

• Phloroglucinols

• Hyperforin

 • Adhyperforin

• Flavonoids

 • Hyperoside

• Rutin

• Quercetin derivatives

• Phenolic compounds

• Biflavones

• Tannin-related compounds

 • These constituents contribute to the overall phytochemical fingerprint of St John’s Wort.

My Take Away

This tells you a lot about quaiity control. Unless St Johns’ Wort is tested to ensure that all 13 active alkaloids are present it must be understood it would not have the therapeutic effect of healing the neurotransmitters in the brain to alleviate depression

 

What Does the Clinical Research Show?

St. John’s Wort is one of the better-studied medicinal herbs in relation to depressive symptoms.

29 clinical trials involving:

5,489 participants

Most participants had mild-to-moderately severe depressive symptoms.

Overall, the Hypericum also known as St John’s Wort extracts evaluated were:

• More effective than placebo

• Similar in response to standard antidepressants in included comparisons

• Associated with fewer discontinuations due to adverse effects than standard antidepressants

However, there was significant variability among the preparations and studies.

Important:

These findings apply to the specific extracts studied and cannot automatically be extrapolated to every St. John’s Wort product. It is the quality of the product used that makes a difference.

 

How Might St. John’s Wort Influence Mood?

The exact mechanism remains complex.

Research suggests St. John’s Wort may influence several neurotransmitter systems.

SEROTONIN

Mood • Emotional processing • Sleep • Appetite

NOREPINEPHRINE

Alertness • Attention • Arousal

DOPAMINE

Motivation • Reward • Pleasure

GABA

Inhibitory/calming neurotransmission

GLUTAMATE

Major excitatory neurotransmitter

Its pharmacology appears to involve multiple constituents and multiple neurochemical pathway

 

Passion Flower is a climbing botanical recognized for its striking flowers.

The medicinally used aerial parts may include the:

Leaves • Stems • Flowers

Passion Flower has traditionally been used as a nervine or calming botanical.

Its historical and modern use has focused on areas such as:

• Nervousness

• Restlessness

• Relaxation

• Sleep

• Mild anxiety-related symptom

The combination of St John’s Wort with Passion Flower is brilliant. I have experienced taking St John’s Wort with Passion Flower after I had a bike injury and I was in pain. I took it probably every 2 hours. It definitely eased the pain and it helped me become relaxed so that the blood could move the essential oxygen and nutrients to the area that needed repair. It also gave me the feeling of patience as I could not walk for a few days. It gave me a feeling of hope and calmness and helped me focus on healing instead of on hopelessness.

The notes I saved before Health Canada censored a lot of our critical information states that it was used to regenerated and heal injured nerves, for pain, sciatica, anxiety, neuralgia, nervous stress, debility, cramps, herpes infection, Parkinsons disease.
