EUA Statement

Liz James · December 7, 2023 ·

I preface this post with this…..

JUST.SAY.NO.

**********************************************************

One of the “perks” of being a pharmacist who is holistically minded and holistically practicing is still receiving all the glorious

email updates from Big Pharma on all the things going on in PharmaWorld.

The updates are worded (verbatim) like this…. ” As you know, now’s a good time to ensure your patients are up to date with their vaccinations. This is why you and your pharmacy team need to know that the protein-based, non-mRNA Novavax COVID-19 vaccine has been updated for the fall season.”

**************************************************************

Now. Here’s the fine print and a little commentary thrown in for good measure:

As a reminder, the original jab was never officially approved for use.

The 2023-2024 edition is also NOT approved or licensed by the FDA (See statement on graphic… it’s taken directly off of the website)

Despite the fact that there is no more ” official COVID emergency” (many many many of us stand on the factual truth that there never was an emergency to begin with) per the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/…/2019…/your-health/end-of-phe.html , Novavax is still making a jab AND the CDC is still pushing the jab (as per the emails I keep getting from the APhA) upon people even tho it’s not approved by the FDA.

This part should really make you sit up and pause……. Not only is this jab NOT approved by the FDA, its safety data is based upon the original monovalent Novavax Covid-19 shot, and the bivalent vaccines I and II. (which are Most Alarmingly Dangerous…… just ask those who have been adversely affected over at https://www.react19.org/ )

My big question is this: WHY is something that is NOT approved by the FDA, safety assessed according to the unsafe older model being promoted for sale for a public health emergency that the CDC admits no longer exists?

Roughly 85% of the population is now savvy enough not to fall for it. (Go Team!!)….. but apparently, there’s still 15ish% out there still falling for it.

Meanwhile, people are dying suddenly, developing turbo cancers and other health maladies are popping up in an awful lot of people.

I continue to pray for justice for the people who fell for this the first time and are now suffering tremendous shot remorse.

If “they” offer something (especially if “they” offer it for “free”), walk away. That saying “Fool me once, shame on them, fool me twice, shame on me” holds true.

Informed Consent. Do your research and don’t cave to pressure.

Just say no.

Insulin Resistance – part 4

Liz James · December 6, 2023 ·

Day 4: Insulin Resistance

Natural sweeteners have been around since the beginning of time. The earliest recorded sweeteners were sugar cane and honey (at least 8,000 BC), and it was a rare treat in a home….. it’s no longer a rare treat, especially not when we are knee-deep into the Holiday Season.

Nowadays, the average American eats over 100 lbs of sugar a year. (That’s the equivalent of eating / drinking 30 teaspoons of sugar a day, every single day).

I love that God gave us foods He created to both nourish and heal. Olives have been around at least as long as sugar and many parts of the olive tree have usefulness. Take a look at this study using Olive Leaf Polyphenols: “Olive (Olea europaea L.) Leaf Polyphenols Improve Insulin Sensitivity in Middle-Aged Overweight Men: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596374/

(after 12 weeks of consistent use of Olive Leaf Extract, the test subjects had an average 15% decrease in insulin resistance. And I quote……” The researchers noted that supplementing with olive leaf extract gave results comparable to common diabetic therapeutics.” )

There’s this study too…. (lots of great info! ) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8398612/ Pharmaceutical Drugs and Natural Therapeutic Products for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Of course, it’s just not possible to out-supplement consistently poor lifestyle choices. That said, for people who are attempting to correct some poor lifestyle habits, there are lots of options out there to support your efforts!

Do you incorporate Olive Essentials into your wellness routine? (There are several more reasons to do so in addition to supporting healthy pancreas activity

)

Lawsuits Begin

Liz James · December 1, 2023 ·

And so it begins… It’s a shame that:

1. it took so long, but legal things do move at the speed of a snail

in molasses.

2. the FDA has failed the American public on such a stupendous scale (the

wasn’t the first time…. it was just the singular biggest time)

3. that the US Government still hasn’t done a darn thing about it, despite there being an overabundance of excess deaths and disabilities in the last few years according to insurance actuaries.

4. that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had his hands tied for several months as many power-hungry Texas House of Representatives “deactivated” his ability to work (ie: protect the interests of the people of Texas)….. we have ALL suffered because of this inexcusable behavior and every House Rep that was involved needs to be removed at least through the upcoming Primary elections.

Attorney General Ken Paxton has hopefully opened the doors for a landslide of lawsuits nationwide against (ultimately) all of the covid shot makers.

Pray for expeditious results ya’ll. There are so many hurting people out there whose injuries are being largely shushed by Western medicine practitioners.

December Gifts from YL

Liz James · December 1, 2023 ·

Oh Christmas tree

, Oh Christmas tree

…… look at those tree oils Young Living has put under our Christmas Tree this December

. Some of my faves, and just in time to restock my oil cabinet on a few of them.

Cedarwood…. who’d have thought such a common tree could have such uncommonly good benefits for our bodies? Remember, if you aren’t sure what to use an oil for, there are lots of resources (like here on H3…. we’re LOADED with a community that cumulatively has thousands of years of experience using oils). Did you know that Young Living has Pubmed studies highlighting many oils on their website? Scroll down to the bottom of the cedarwood page, and you’ll find 4 studies highlighting its supportive effects for pain modulation, sleep, anti-mosquito

, and hair growth. ( there are 532 more studies on Pubmed

Thieves … I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need ALL the Thieves… especially when it’s 15ml for free! This is a staple for our house. It’s often in the diffuser, and ALWAYS on the bottoms of my feet every night for immune system support. Thieves is a blend of 5 VIP immune supportive oils, and if you are a researcher, I’d encourage you to research all 5 of them. Bonus points… it’s a great Fall / Winter scent as is, or add a little Orange, Cedarwood, or Northern Lights Black Spruce for a festive Christmas tree upgrade. #scentswithbenefits

Longevity Vitality. I’m not gonna lie; this oil blend doesn’t smell great (thanks to the aroma of thyme), but it DOES do GREAT things for the body. It is incredibly immune-supportive and digestion-supportive. It also supports healthy cellular function overall. Once I understood how this blend of thyme, orange, clove, and frank was designed to work, it became a regular in my supplement routine. One of the things I do (you do you, Boo), is take a capsule every morning with 3 drops of Longevity, 3 drops of lemongrass, and 3 drops of Pine.

When I learned the value of Copaiba years ago, I quickly added it to my “must have” stash (yep, I pretty much keep at least 3 bottles on hand at any given time). It’s quite the powerhouse when it comes to supporting a healthy inflammatory response. (there’s healthy and then there’s

). If you’ve got some

somewhere in your body, you might end up feeling like hugging a Copaiba tree for all it did for you. Copaiba can be used safely both internally and externally.

I anticipate December’s free gifts every year because there’s nearly always the opportunity for a free Frankincense under the tree…. I mean, WHO doesn’t use and love Frank?

Ya’ll know my reference points always point back to God and science, and Frankincense is a perfect example of this. I mean, anything that was good enough for baby Jesus is surely meant for goodness for all of us (animals too!). I just did a quick pubmed.gov search and noted that there are 920 studies currently listed under the keyword “Boswellia” (the scientific name for our friend Frank). I strongly encourage you to do a little digging. You have likely been undervaluing this plant gift God gave all of us. I use it every single day in my face serum, and frankly (hee hee, see what I did there), I can’t get enough of it.

Here’s my DIY Face Serum Recipe that I’ve used for the last 9+ years:

1- 15 ml empty bottle

15 drops of Frank

15 drops of Lavender

2 drops of Peppermint

(8-10 drops of any of the following depending on “how my skin and emotions are feeling”)….. myrrh, 2-5 drops of blue tansy, geranium, cypress, palo santo, ….. you might find your favorites…. these are mine)

fill up the remainder of the 15 ml bottle with your favorite carrier oil of choice. I love organic fractionated coconut, or macadamia nut, or apricot seed oil. Find the carrier oil that works best with your skin.

I love knowing that using Frank on my face has a positive effect on every cell in my body

Insulin Resistance – part 3

Liz James · November 30, 2023 ·

Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most popular spices, as it has historical value both in flavoring and as a “medicinal” spice. We in the Young Living world often think of the essential oil blend Thieves when cinnamon comes to mind! (If you don’t already incorporate Thieves in your life, you are missing out on a fantastic health and wellness tool….. and that includes the benefits of Thieves Household Cleaner!)

You’ve heard my views here on the injectable medications Ozempic/ Wegovy / semaglutide . Nearly all medication originates from a natural form (plant, animal, mineral, etc), which man attempts (poorly) to replicate. Man will never be able to replicate the work that God has done for us….. no matter how hard he tries.

One of the ways these medications work for weight loss is the extreme slowing of stomach emptying time (even to the point of acquiring a new painful digestive dysfunctional state called gastroparesis that often is not reversible when discontinuing the drug ).

Perhaps “they” attempted to model the effects of cinnamon on the body when these products were created.

Adding cinnamon to your daily regimen does so much more than support the immune system ( thank you, Thieves!). Take a look at this study, ” Effects of cinnamon on postprandial blood glucose, gastric emptying, and satiety in healthy subjects.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/…/pii/S0002916523281113…

According to this study

cinnamon appears to reduce “after eating” blood glucose levels,

because of slowed gastric emptying…. (but again…. God is in the details…. not slow enough to cause problems).

That study above was smaller….. so if you are looking for a meta-analysis (ie: a study of studies.) Here’s one that looks at the results of 8 separate studies focusing on fasting blood sugar. ” Cinnamon intake lowers fasting blood glucose: a meta-analysis”. This study of studies suggests that cinnamon has been shown to improve (ie support the body’s efforts) to respond to insulin. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21480806/

Here’s another one….. “Cinnamon use in type 2 diabetes: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24019277/

If you are curious about learning more, there are over 350 studies related to cinnamon and blood glucose in pubmed.gov, and if you want a cliff notes version of all the goodness cinnamon offers… including some great recipes, here’s a link for you: https://1602257.lifestepseo.com/…/cinnamon-bark-spotlight

PS: to keep the FDA happy, I should also give the obligatory disclaimer….. despite the plethora of research out there… “The FDA has not evaluated these statements, and such evidence should not be construed as diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any disease. “
