"...Why it is still important to wear a mask and get vacinated...How a whole food plant based "Live-it" or Diet...,along with exercise and having 8 hours of sleep can be your best line of defence -Who is most at risk? and what works to boost your immune system... "For a whole host of economic, political and historical reasons,Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, says it’s a threat that African Americans need to take particularly seriously “We get a lot of misinformation circulating through our communities,” Benjamin said.“We fundamentally don’t trust some of the non-black institutions because they donot serve us well.We need to make sure our trusted institutions, clinicians of color, churches,community organizations,are better educated.”.The biggest challenge is the fact that  African Americans, start out with health outcomes that are disproportionately poor when compared to white Americans.The highest risk,if you get this disease,is to someone 60 or older with chronic disease.With African Americans, you start with a population that is disproportionately sicker,and if it gets exposed, it will have a higher deathrate. Everyone obviously goes back to the Tuskegee experiment.The syphilis study where African American men were not treated for syphilis and they continued not to be treated even after we had treatment available.Ultimately the Public Health Service apologized,as well as President Clinton apologized on behalf of America.

We also have experiences where people go into health centers and the word on the street is you go in, but you don’t come out.The reason they don’t come out is that people go into those places in a much later state of the disease...".

Also,congratulations to the first black director of the New York City marathon Brother Ted Metellus who was born in the Bronx and raised by parents who emigrated from Haiti..The Sunday of November7,2010,I ran my 14th New York City Marathon. This is a very special run in that I had joined 43,000 other runners including my late friend Damian Gurganious and his wife Nicole, They were 2008 contestants in "The Biggest Loosers Couple".Dora and I were blessed to have him visit us at our home. He was a very humble and generous Brother, who shared with us his battle with combating diabetes…he was instrumental in assisting Dora with reversing her diabetes, which included sending her a DVD with state of the art healing motalities .t that time, my last marathon was in 2002, that along with less training may result with this being my slowest race4-5 hours as my best time is 2:58:56. I ran it in 1989 when I was 45.Which placed me 23 minutes short of elite runner status. World champion Haile Gebrselassie experienced the excitement of Africans competing against each other for the status as the world’s best marathon runners I ran in honor of mywife, Dora Gray Ph.D,who is reversing her diabetic condition and my late sister, Donice Seas-bey, who at that time had been in remission from diabetes. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month,many understand that people with diabetes.Especially those of African descent, are impacted at significantly higher rates if diagnosed with COVID-19. .”

"..Studying gut bacteria can reveal a range of human illness. Now, new research shows that the composition of a person’s intestinal bacteria could play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes. These results, from a joint European and Chinese research team, have just been published in the journal Nature.

The number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes world-wide has risen rapidly in recent years,  New research now indicates that your gut bacteria can reveal whether you suffer from the disease.

“We have demonstrated that people with type 2 diabetes have a high level of pathogens in their intestines,” says Jun Wang, 

The 1.5 kilograms of bacteria that we each carry in our intestines have an enormous impact on our health and well being. The bacteria normally live in a sensitive equilibrium but if this equilibrium is disrupted our health could suffer. In the new study, scientists examined the intestinal bacteria of 345 people from China, of which 171 had type 2 diabetes. .

The research, which was recently published in the scientific journal Nature, also demonstrated that people with type 2 diabetes have a more hostile bacterial environment in their intestines, which can increase resistance to different medicines.

Similar studies carried out on sufferers of type 2 diabetes in Denmark also discovered a significant imbalance in the function of their intestinal bacteria and composition. 

“The European and Chinese working on the Meta HIT project were able to make important new discoveries about the relationship between intestinal bacteria and health. The new discovery indicates a possible connection between type 2 diabetes and the intestinal bacteria in Chinese people,” Kristiansen says.

Good Bacteria is also important for nutrition, immunity, and effects on the brain and behavior...." .

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams who is soon to become New York City's second black mayor... is on a mission to tackle one of the most stubborn health problems in the country: chronic disease in the African American community.

African Americans are heavier and sicker than any other group in the U.S., with nearly half of all Black adults suffering from some form of cardiovascular disease. After Adams woke up with severe vision loss one day in 2016,he learned that he was one of the nearly 5million Black people living with diabetes-and, according to his doctor, he would have it for the rest of his life.

A police officer for over two decades, A connoisseur of the fast-food dollar menu.Like so many Americans with stressful jobs, the last thing he wanted to think about was eating healthfully.Fast food was easy, cheap, and comfortable.His diet followed him from the squad car to the state senate, and then to Brooklyn Borough Hall,where it finally caught up with him.

But Adams was not ready to become a statistic.There was a better option besides medication and shots of insulin:food. Within three months of adopting a plant-based diet,he lost35 pounds, lowered his cholesterol by30 points,restored his vision, and reversed his diabetes.Now he is on a mission to revolutionize the health of not just the borough of Brooklyn, but of African Americans across the country.

Armed with the hard science and life stories of those who have transformed their bodies by changing their diet,Adams shares the key steps for a healthy active life.He shows us how to cut down on salt, get more fiber, and substitute beef, chicken, pork, and dairy with delicious plant-based alternatives.He explores the origins of soul food as deeply important to the Black community, but also one rooted in the horrors of slavery-and how it can be reimagined with healthy alternatives.
