Comment on The Ultra-Processed Food Debate Needs a Reality Check by Mark Smith

Omitted the now-well-documented harms from PUFAs. Seed oils create inflammation that creates ROSs that significantly increase chronic disease.

I stopped consuming all “vegetable oils” (a.k.a. seed oils that include soybean, corn, canola, cottonseed, rapeseed, sunflower, rice bran and safflower oils). I was influenced by the first YouTube presentation below (by Chris Knobbe, MD, link below), then by reading Dr. Knobbe’s book (link 2nd to bottom). Later, I found Dr. Catherine Shanahan’s book (link at bottom).

After completely removing seed oils from my diet for just a week, I was able to resolve inflammation problem I had in a cervical disk that had bothered me for three weeks. More important, symptoms of autoimmune disease I’ve had for over 30 years went away in just a few months. (I was halfway to a thyroid storm with Graves disease in 1994.) And, all other autoimmune symptoms I’d had for 30 years disappeared, including most food allergies.

Removing seed oils from my diet wasn’t easy, because practically all restaurants use them. I’ve included a restaurant lookup info at the bottom of this information to help you out. Most Americans consume the majority of their seed oils at restaurants or in junk foods.

According to both Drs. Knobbe (“The Ancestral Diet Revolution: How Vegetable Oils and Processed Foods Destroy Our Health – and How to Recover!”) and Kate Shanahan (“Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back”), seed oils are implicated in practically all chronic diseases in the U.S., including coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancers, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune diseases, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), osteoporosis and many others.

One of the truly awful aspects of seed oils is that they accumulate in body fat. In the U.S., it’s estimated that about 20-30% of our body fat is linoleic acid. (The healthy percentage should be around 5%) Then, the half-life of linoleic acid is 680 days! In other words, it takes years to get rid of this toxic fat.

Another insidious aspect: Seed oils stimulate appetite via the endocannabinoid receptors at the start of the small intestine. Ever wonder what the gastric bypass bypasses? It’s these receptors.

Comment on Support New Congressional Bill to Protect Your Access to Natural Thyroid Medicine by Susan Siens

I want to note my experience with compounded thyroid medications. I know they work for some people, but when my practitioner prescribed them for me — when I had been successfully using regular NDT — I got sicker and sicker. When I asked the compounding pharmacist about them, he had another patient who was taking HUGE amounts of compounded thyroid; her practitioner was in a group with my practitioner!

So regular NDT works for many people, particularly hypothyroid patients who eat and supplement with intention.

I am allergic to all synthetic thyroid medication it messes with my heart!!!! I can’t even take armor anymore. They changed the formula. I tried other ones and they made me very sick. The only thing I can take is natural porcine thyroid with rice flour. That’s it. This has been used for centuries and yet somehow FDA has to control natural means

Comment on Could a Unified Theory of Health Solve Our Health Care Crisis? by Barb

It will never happen as long as Big Pharma and Politicians are being bought out.
Drs. would have to go back to “school” again and learn what they should have
in the first place.
Do no harm.

Stop All unverified “non double blind placebo controlled tested vaccines” FIRST!!!
Stop Chemtrails Second
Get the Fluoride out of our Drinking Water Third
Stop the over prescribing of Medications Fourth
While at the same time, forcing Corporations to Comply with known health standards and to remove dangerous chemicals from their products.
Screw any THEORIES until the above is done first!!

Comment on FDA’s War of Words on Supplements by Glynis Walker

Alternatives in the form of Herbs, Homeopathy, Nutritional Supplements and Fermented Foods are all preferable as a first line of defence before embarking on Drugs. We must never have these safer options taken away.

Where are Makary and Robert Kennedy on this issue? Is Makary also a sell-out to the drug companies? This shouldn’t be happening under the new leadership. Or is the FDA so large with so many people working on their pet projects that Makary and Kennedy don’t know this is happening?

I whole-heartedly agree! I regularly use supplements such as fermented garlic and turmeric, omega 3 oils, CoQ10 and others. I have honored your requests to contact my congressional reps utilizing your prepared scripts and portal.
I have been following Sayer Ji’s reports and articles on medicinal foods. Thanks for the good work you are doing!

I’d like, as a consumer, to be able to choose to use supplements over pharmaceutical drugs. The reason that I choose to use supplements over pharmaceutical drugs is, because of too many adverse side effects using pharmaceutical drugs verses using supplements. This would include using vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathy, Chinese medicine with great success. I don’t want your agency telling me what I can and can’t put inside of my body to treat my different ailments. They need to focus more on what companies are putting inside of our food, which is basically poisoneous chemicals which can definitely effect a person’s health, not this type of nonsense that your organization is so readily focused on. For example, herbs have been used for thousands of years, way before pharmaceutical drugs ever came along into the picture and, they were used with great success. My message to the FDA, mind your own business! let me as a consumer and medical patient decide on what I choose to use to treat my different medical conditions, not your organization. Get the poisons out of our food as well as possibly removing some of these pharmaceutical drugs that have serious adverse side rffects! This would be a starter! Focus on things that matter and, not all of this other nonsense! Thank you! Ron
