The Greece election resulted in an anti austerity group in charge. They are already discussing renegotiation of previous bailouts. Marriage and birth rates are collapsing as unemployment continues higher. The European Union will be severely stressed in the near future.
stock market futures gapped down in after hours and has not attempted to fill the gap in over three hours. FOMC meeting this week may accelerate the downside or reverse back up to resistance.

killer whales now creating new food web situations and new circumstances for aboriginal hunters who find that some of their traditional hunted wildlife species now have a new visitor in their midst. Interesting adaptations taking place with the changing ice conditions and changing wildlife relationships. Cheers. Equiz

Parasitic Fungi Showing Promise for Immune Disorders and Cancer
Cordyceps, also called caterpillar fungus or Tochukasu, is a favorite of athletes because it increases ATP production, strength and endurance, and has anti-aging effects.8
This parasitic mushroom is unique because, in the wild, it grows out of an insect host instead of a plant host. It has long been used within both traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine.
It has hypoglycemic and possible antidepressant effects, protects your liver and kidneys, increases blood flow, helps normalize your cholesterol levels, and has been used to treat Hepatitis B.
Cordyceps has antitumor properties as well. Scientists at The University of Nottingham have been studying cordycepin, one of the active medicinal compounds found in these fungi,9 and the one identified as a potential cancer drug. More recent studies suggest it also has potent anti-inflammatory characteristics that may be helpful for those suffering from:
- Asthma
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Renal failure
- Stroke damage
A question that was begging for an answer was how cordycepin could produce so many different beneficial effects at the cellular level. Researcher Dr. Cornelia de Moor told Medical News Today:10
“We have shown that cordycepin reduces the expression of inflammatory genes in airway smooth muscle cells by acting on the final step in the synthesis of their messenger RNAs (mRNAs) which carry the chemical blueprint for the synthesis of proteins.
This process is called polyadenylation. Commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs either work much earlier in the activation of inflammatory genes, such as prednisone, or work on one of the final products of the inflammatory reaction (e.g. ibuprofen).
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/05/13/mushroom-benefits.aspx
These findings indicate that cordycepin acts by a completely different mechanism than currently used anti-inflammatory drugs, making it a potential drug for patients in which these drugs don’t work well.
However, it is a surprise that cordycepin does not affect the synthesis of mRNAs from other genes, because nearly all mRNAs require polyadenylation.”
According to Dr. de Moor’s research, the mechanism responsible for cordycepin’s many varied effects may stem from its ability to alter the synthesis of many classes of rapidly induced genes that help counteract inflammatory genes, thereby slowing down otherwise rapid cellular responses to tissue damage. It may also help prevent over-activation of inflammatory responses.
“However, it also indicates that cordycepin could have adverse effects on normal wound healing and on the natural defenses against infectious diseases,” the featured article states.11
“Dr. de Moor said: ‘We are hoping to further investigate which genes are more dependent on polyadenylation than others and why this is the case, as well as test the effect of cordycepin on animal models of disease. Clinical testing of cordycepin is not in our immediate plans, as we think we first have to understand this drug in more detail before we can risk treating patients with it.'”

We got to where we are because some of the American public threw God out of the country and the rest of the American public let them get away with it…so He left us to our own devices…thus we attracted the kind of “leaders” that we deserved.

Mushrooms/fungi tincture well, Maya. I am aware it isn’t an herb but was in a hurry and so made the mistake. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, in case I didn’t realize it. I prefer tinctures to capsules because I have more control of the amount that goes into my body.

The article title is misleading. Be aware that cordyceps is not an herb… it is a mushroom/fungus. It might not ‘tincture’ well.

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Millions of genetically modified mosquitoes could be released in the Florida Keys if British researchers win approval to use the bugs against two extremely painful viral diseases.
The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District is waiting to hear if the Food and Drug Administration will allow them to run an experiment in Key West to see if the modified bugs can suppress the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which spread dengue and chikungunya.
Mosquito controllers say they’re running out of options because most approved insecticides are no longer effective against Aedes aegypti.
The British company Oxitec has built a breeding lab in Marathon and hopes to release its mosquitoes this spring if approved by the Food and Drug Administration. But some residents are frightened at the thought of being bitten by genetically modified organisms.
Hope the residents of the Keys are fighting this abomination!

Good luck with the Cordyceps. Moggy you are welcome. Wanka, I like the idea of going with LEF. If they have been hassled by the FDA, they must have an effective product.

What I like about the Life Extension Foundation is that they are a non-profit that uses their proceeds to fund research papers on vitamins, supplements, and health and life extension that are similar to the studies done for the FDA on other ‘drugs’. Of course the pharma people hate this, and the FDA has raided LEF more than once, trying to trip them up under the law… or even extraLegal intimidation. The LEF has sucessfully beaten back the legal goons at the FDA more than once for our health freedoms. Their products are high-quality, and they have had to ‘prove’ the ingredients for the goons when they were intimidated and raided.
The research papers they publish in their magazine, and all these past articles and research papers are available on the website at lef.org for all kinds of supplements and maladies. It’s not just supplement sales…. there is lots of good research information available on the website for the searching.

I remember you posting about your enzyme experience, and learned from it. When I had some digestive issues I started eating good, Korean Kim-Chee that had been fermented a bit. Problem solved.
It is said that about half of our immune system lives in the Gut, and in order for it to work correctly we need the right proBiotics and enzymes populating the gut for digestion.

Your B-12 spray is good… it is the proper METHYL cobalamin type.
Don’t know if you are on statins or not, but CoQ-10 is good heart maintenance for us ‘mature’ folks… always recommended.
I was somewhat tongue-in-cheek saying “get ready to exercise” as I am aware of your condition. But be prepared for the ‘feeling’ like you want to get out and walk or something when you take the cordyceps. The mushroom enhances the body’s ATP energy carriers and oxygen carriers (which for you is a GOOD thing!) without increasing heart rate or blood pressure like caffeine does. It really is a different ‘energy’ boost feeling… quite strong.
In the reviews, users note that this energy rush wears off sooner as you adapt to using the cordyceps over time… the body adapts and works better and you get ‘used’ to it.

If you still have unanswered questions about Agenda 21 this will answer them. It is an integral part of the trashing of America and removing the rest of your constitutional rights…… and most every other country of the world……. setting up the world for the one world government and digital currency. If they have their way we will all be slaves with NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER!! No property ownership or any other kind of ownership. You will be their slave and totally under their control. Better to know what is coming or at least where we should be spending our time fighting this takeover. Silverngold

Rebels launch ‘intense’ attacks on Ukraine government troops: Kiev military
(Reuters) – Pro-Russian rebels launched new attacks against Ukrainian government positions on Sunday, the Kiev army said, as Western countries threatened more sanctions against Moscow for backing a new separatist offensive.
Recent days have seen the worst fighting in eastern Ukraine since a September ceasefire, restarting a war that has already killed more than 5,000 people.
Rebels have announced an offensive and launched an assault on Saturday on Mariupol, a major port of 500,000 people, where Kiev said thirty civilians were killed by shelling.
Kiev officials said the offensive continued on Sunday along other areas in the front, which winds through two eastern provinces partially controlled by the separatists.
“Rebels are attacking the positions of anti-terrorist operation troops extremely intensively, using artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, tanks,” military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing.

I noticed you said your brand of Cordyceps was paired with FERMENTED Ginsing .From my experience the “Fermented ” is most important in making anything available to be digestable.I suffered for years from Kidney stones (Gout Stones) and couldent find a Dr to help.Stones all day everyday very painful .I finally in despiration decided I was going to find the cause myself.I researched for weeks on the net and finally while on a swiss site I realized I had a calcium problem ..I didnt digest or break it down properly leaving me with PARTALLY digested calcium in the form of stones with very sharp edges.VIOLA ! A LIGHT came on.ENZYMES !!!!!!!!!!!Its like making cheese ! from idgestable milk (for me ) I was unable to digest milk properly all my life ! Lactose ! MY cure was ENZYMES and FERMENTED FOODS .I am stone free NOW! However some kidney damage was done from the sharp stones. Un digested calcium iin the stomach ended up in the Kidneys! I identified one or two enzymes I lacked from the swiss site #21 and one other,but couldent find how I would get it ! I used the shotgun approach of multi ENZYME and probiotics and it worked.! My current theory on a cure for Glocoma (prompted by recent eye surgery) stimulated me to research again.is In order to reduce the pressure in the eye which causes the Glaucoma the fluid needsto come out slowly.
The ageing process hardens the scelera and closes normal drains and then causes dry eye and pressure to build up .So my theory is an eye drop consisting of an ENZYME that will allow the liquid to pass through and cure both problems. Im not a Dr but I think my process is correct pending the discovery of the right enzyme ! THINK ENZYMES and FERMENTED FOOD! Avoid preservatives it kills enzymes and that includes wine & beer !

f you’ve ever wanted to see the “soft bigotry of low expectations” on display, look no further than the global reaction to the death of the Saudi king. Officials in Washington are now playing their favorite game: Praise the Tyrant. Here’s how the game works:
Step 1) Identify an Arab dictator who heads one of the most repressive regimes on Earth
Step 2) Pretend that every brutal policy is way outside of his control
Step 3) Seize on any statement of his more tolerant than ISIS
Step 4) Praise the dictator for being a courageous reformer
Step 5) Express shock when actual reformers feel betrayed as you praise their tyrant
Step 6) Pat yourself on the back for maintaining (faux) stability
Step 7) Buy his oil
Step 8) Sell him weapons
Step 9) Repeat

There’s other things your body needs cholesterol for Memory for instance. My fear mix that cold weather which could put a strain on the heart and then add vigorous exercise with those statins. Just something to think about.
