Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world and is found in almost all of the food you eat. But is it safe, as its manufacturers claim it is? And if not, why not? In this weeks interview on ‘Living outside the Matrix’ Dr Stephanie Seneff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) sheds some light on how this substance causes so much harm on so many levels.

If it is health and longevity that you want as the foundation for a successful and happy life, you MUST learn about this pernicious substance. You will not hear the facts presented in a balanced and objective way in the mainstream news. As always, stepping outside the Matrix and evaluating facts for ourselves is what is required.

Dr Stephanie Seneff

“Is there a toxic substance that is currently in our environment on the rise in step with increasing rates of Autism that could explain this?… The answer is yes, I’m quite sure that I’m right, and the answer is glyphosate.” Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.

Is Glyphosate Safe? According to Stephanie Seneff, the answer is definitely not! Dr Seneff is a senior research scientist at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CSAIL). But her recent work focuses on Biology and the connection between human health and nutrition. This has naturally led her into researching Glyphosate due to the fact that almost all food these days contains it!

“You wake up someday with something like Crohn’s disease, or Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s disease, or rheumatoid arthritis. All these things you don’t want that you’re going to get if  you keep on chronically exposing yourself to glyphosate.” Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.

The many mechanisms of harm

Dr Seneff is a mine of information and right in the know on this topic of Glyphosate. Listen to the Podcast or watch the Youtube film and you will hear her discuss how Glyphosate – the main ingredient of the popular herbicide ROUNDUP – kills beneficial bacteria, disrupts the integrity of the gut lining, messes with proteins, affect the acidity of the stomach and much more.

My purpose here is not to reproduce all of the information she presents in the show, but to point out that health is just one part of thriving. of living that successful and happy life. In the same way that we have to think outside the box in order to protect ourselves against the harm from Glyphosate, so must we apply the same principles of taking responsibility and questioning the mainstream view when dealing with any other issue.

This is a great interview with Jeffrey Smith and Dr Seneff.

How to destroy Glyphosate

The good news is that Glyphosate can be destroyed by something called Chlorine Dioxide. This is an easily available substance some may know as MMS (Master Mineral Solution) which was found by Jim Humble to cure Malaria and many other diseases. It is available on the internet and can be made at home quite simply and safely. I will be publishing an episode exclusively about this incredibly useful substance in the coming weeks.

Chlorine Dioxide can be taken in a 3-week protocol that involves taking 3 drops in a glass of water on the hour, every hour for 8 hours each day, for three weeks. This protocol is recommended by Jim Humble and his Genesis 11 church of health. It is a tragic reflection of the control of the pharmaceutical and medical fraternity that Jim has had to create a church to get around the laws that otherwise prohibit him for spreading the good news about this amazing substance.

There is a bacteria in Raw Apple Cider Vinegar that eats up Glyphosat...

Gut and psychology syndrome is the brain child of Dr Natasha Campbell McBride. If it is health you are seeking then this is something you need to know about. She goes to the roots of health and disease and helps us to identify the lifestyle choices that result in both health and disease. From this informed starting point we can choose our lifestyle according to which outcome we want to experience.

The context

These days human health is under attack like never before. There are many factors that come together in todays toxic environment that we must be aware of, Only then can we design a lifestyle around health and longevity. There is an enormous amount of information available to us, but the challenge is sifting through it all to find out what is true. Dr Campbell Mcbride has done some incredible work presenting gut and psychology syndrome and assimilating the latest research and presents us with a clear picture of the fundamental requirements of a healthy gut.

Gut and psychology syndrome

In this episode of “Living outside the Matrix”  Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride goes into some detail as she explains with clarity and eloquence how the GAPS diet is key in treating as well as avoiding a plethora of modern chronic disease. Gut and psychology syndrome lies at the foundation of understanding human health.

Books by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride

“Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism”

“Put Your Heart in Your Mouth: Natural Treatment for Atherosclerosis, Angina”

“Vegetarianism Explained: Making an Informed Decision”

I trust you will find this information useful. It has helped me enormously. It cannot be overstated that if you want to be healthy well into old age, or if you wish to grow old gracefully and beautifully without suffering from chronic disease, then this information just has to be assimilated into your lifestyle. It is a simple cause and effect equation, if you want this then you MUST do that.

There are several deep-seated beliefs instilled in the minds of all of us that are really difficult for people to question. The idea that we should reach for a pair of glasses when we get old and our eyesight “inevitably” begins to degrade is one of them.

The fact is that the donning of a pair of glasses is like taking a pain killer to avoid pain, like putting a sticking plaster over skin rash, or like taking a drug to deal with a symptom. Glasses do not address the root cause of why the ability to retain focus is progressively lost. The eye simply adapts to the glasses prescription and the problem often gets steadily worse. The root of the issue lies in the way the eye is used. It is not beyond the ability of anyone to address the way they use their eyes. Also, it is arguably a very worthy cause since wearing glasses is inconvenient (breakage and loss) and the eyes are our most crucial sense. You can improve your eyesight at any age.

Seeing clearly without Glasses

In this weeks Episode of “Living outside the matrix”, I interview David Glassman about the Bates method and how to improve your eyesight. There is much information here for anyone interested in preserving functional eyesight and becoming more conscious.

If we wish to become more conscious we need to know how to use our eyes, along with knowing what food supports our health and what poisons us. These should be basic skills and knowledge possessed by anyone laying claim to being a conscious and thinking man or woman. I recommend you look into this subject because you do not have to reach for glasses or loose your eyesight as you get old – or at any time in your life.

I have written extensively about the issue in my previous post about how the eye works and comparing the mainstream view with the William Bates view. This theory was not originated by him, but he was a keen advocate. I will not duplicate what I have previously said here. I urge you to visit the previous article which goes into depth. The article is called “Think you need glasses? Think again.”

Essential reading

The following is David Glassman’s suggested reading list for anyone wanting to take this knowledge to te next level and gain a comprehensive understanding of how to see clearly without the aid of glasses. These affiliate links will work for UK customers only.

* “The Bates method” by Peter mansfield

* “Better eyesight without glasses” by W H Bates

* “Help Yourself to better sight” by Margaret Darst Corbett

* “The art of seeing” by Aldous Huxley

I hope you get some value from this information as I have. The link between seeing with the eyes and mind is intimate. To see is to understand. Seeing with the eyes is a sense that must be preserved if we are to become more conscious and retain an active, thinking mind.

These days it is hard to find anyone who is prepared to admit they are a fan of using fossil fuel energy. So deeply entrenched is the false idea that CO2 is the great evil and that the planet will be destroyed unless we all switch to renewables. No rational debate is heard in the mainstream media because the pros and cons of various different sources of energy are not honestly appraised. Furthermore, assumptions of doom and gloom climate scenarios from discredited computer models are endlessly repeated in order to frighten people into accepting changes that are not the solution.

Fossil fuel energy is not the enemy

Alex Epstein has written a fabulous book called “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels”, in which he presents a refreshingly logical and rational way of approaching the issue. He refers to the environmentalist movement as ‘the anti-human movement’ due to their relentless emphasis on reducing the impact of humans on the environment. Alex states at the outset that his ‘come from’ in weighing the best form of energy is to determine the very best possible outcome for human flourishment.

The Center for Industrial Progress

In this week’s Episode of “Living outside the Matrix”, Don Watkins of the ‘Centre for Industrial Progress‘ presents the argument constructed in Alex Epstein’s book. Don and Alex are colleagues at the CIP where they work to bring about a new industrial revolution and bring sound thinking to the debate. In their own words…

“We believe that human beings have the untapped potential to radically improve our lives by using technology to improve the planet across a multitude of industries: mining, manufacturing, agriculture, chemistry, and energy. Every individual has the potential for a longer, happier, healthier, safer, more comfortable, more meaningful, more opportunity-filled life. The keys to a new industrial revolution are a new industrial philosophy, a new industrial policy, and a new approach to communication.”

The Power Hour Podcast

Alex and Don chat regularly on their podcast “The power hour podcast with Alex Epstein“. If you are interested in this subject there is loads more useful information to be found there.

Meaningful Environmental Awareness

From the perspective of a rational thinker, the whole concept of environmental awareness needs revising in the minds of almost all of us. It needs to be updated so as to separate the issues of CO2 and pollution. Pollution is undesirable that is clear, but more CO2 looks more likely to be beneficial.  Meaningful Environmental Awareness. means being aware of the toxicity within your body for a start. Then it should sensible extend out into the home and the environment with concerns for what ever may be poisoning us or compromising our health.

Habits can be formidable obstacles to self-improvement when set against us, however, they become powerful allies if we can harness them to our benefit. EFT (tapping) can be used to harness this power and overwrite old mental programs that lock us in destructive patterns of behaviour. The great thing about EFT is that it is easy to do and it works!

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and was invented by Gary Craig in the late 1990s. It is also known as Energy Therapy, or simply ‘Tapping’. The technique draws on many theories of alternative medicine including Acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy. In a nutshell, it uses a combination of psychological “talk therapy” and tapping on particular points of the body claimed to be energy meridians.

In Episode 76 of “Living outside the Matrix”, I interview Corah Clark from Sundridge in Kent, UK. She offers her knowledge and her perspective as a practitioner of EFT (tapping) for many years, as well as her background of psychology.

Many claim a scientific basis for EFT and expound upon the merits of energy therapy that employs diverse methods to modify and manipulate the flow of energy within the body with the intention to realign, replenish or stabilize the amount and the quality of energy within the human body, the truth is that no one really knows how it works. But it does work and can be used to address all kinds of past traumas, phobias and irrational fears as well as set up new and desirable habits.

The Mechanics of EFT (tapping)

According to Corah Clark, a psychotherapist and EFT practitioner, generally, the therapy consists of being guided through tapping on a series of points on the body with the tip of the fingers. At the same time, phrases are spoken by the practitioner and repeated by the ‘patient’ that guide the patient through the process of reprogramming the mind.

To begin with, the problem, or issue, is brought to mind while tapping the ‘karate chop’ point on the hand(s). This is a logical first step that calls to mind the issue and the feelings associated with it. After this, the full sequence of tapping points (energy points or meridians) is cycled through repeatedly.

While the points are being tapped the next goal is self-acceptance, an establishing of the psychological recognition of the condition being addressed but specifically disassociating it from any personal criticism or judgment. The words used are “Even though this (whatever it is) is happening, I completely and fully love and accept myself”.

Once acceptance is complete a form of words is chosen to set about changing the way the problem is viewed and setting it out in different terms presenting the intention to change. This essentially amounts to overwriting the mental conclusions surrounding the issue. This part of the therapy varies with different practitioners, or it can be self-directed. The purpose is to acknowledge the problem, and accept one’s self in spite of it, and then to state the intended changes to be made.

The Tapping Points

There are several tapping points on the body. Here is a description of some of the most often used points that seem to be common amongst many practitioners.

* The edge of the hand or ‘karate chop’ point, or the top of the hand next to the thumb, can be used to call the issue to mind.

* The top of the head

* The side of the eye

* The midpoint between the eyes

* Under the eye

* Above the lip under the nose

* Below the lip on the chin

* On the collar bone (either side or both sides)

* Under the arm, at nipple height

What is a cryptocurrency? Why should we care about this new digital form of money? Isn’t Bitcoin dead and gone? Do we really need to educate ourselves about this technology now that the price has fallen so low? The answer to all these questions and more is not what you hear in the mainstream. This technology is here to stay and it is still in our best interests to continue to educate oursleves about it.

New Kids on the Blockchain

This week on “Living outside the Matrix” we take a look at the past 2 years in the cryptocurrency space with Ashley Pugh from “New Kids on the Blockchain”. Ashley is a professional film maker with 20 years of experience. He is working on a documentary taking a look at the cryptocurrency phenomenon from the inside out that is due to be released later this year. Because he talks regularly with many leaders in the field on his weekly show “New Kids on the Blockchain” he has a unique perspective on the cryptocurrency space.

From his inside perspective, Ashley is right in the thick of it talking to developers and insiders all over the globe. In Episode 75 of “Living outside the Matrix” Ashley shares up-to-date news and developments in the technology as well as insights into why the price has continued to decline during the past twelve months.

In the interview Ashley mentions his friend and colleague Chris Coney who can be reached at chrisconey.com and his resource on Youtube  “Cryptoverse“. This is yet another good resource for all of us who wish to educate oursleves about this important new technology.

Reasons for the cryptocurrency price depression

There are many reasons cited for the depression the price of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies. Price manipulation is increasingly speculated about and Ashley has his own biews on this that he shares in the interview. He also reminds us how etherium has been sold off steadily by various developer over the past year simply in order to pay the running costs of their development team.

I recommend keeping up on this subject even though enthusiasm may be low during this depression in the prices. This situation will reverse and it is best to be poised to take advantage. Additionally, bear inn mind that it is always best to self-educate. This is the way out of the Matrix and the way to a successful life.

Why should you care about EMF’s? Who could live without Wifi? Why should you restrict your mobile phone use? What are the real dangers that are not talked about in the mainstream media? These are questions you would do well to ask, if you value your health and the fertility of your children and grandchildren. Listen to Episode 74 of “Living outside the matrix” to find out more about this crucial topic that should rightly be at the top of your list of modern health concerns.

What are EMF’s?

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) consist of 3 types of fields that have been shown to be harmful to the human body. electric fields, magnetic fields and radio frequencies. There is also an additional concern that needs to be understood in dirty electricity. Dirty electricity is when mains power is modulated with other high frequencies. This means that the carrier wave of your 50 Hz (or 60 Hz depending on where you live) has other high frequencies distorting the sine wave. These frequencies are emitted from your mains wiring and contribute to the EMF’s in your home or work environment.

It is no easy feet to understand the complexities of EMF’s and this is probably one of the main reasons why no one talks about it. However, the health impacts are very significant and must be known about in order to avoid the danger. We discuss the topic in Episode 74 of the Podcast, and I recommend listening to it to gain a better understanding of EMF and wireless health hazards and issues involved.

Sources of EMF’s

There are many sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the home and office environment. Here are just a few in a rough order of intensity and power of the relevant fields they emit. They do not all emit the same kinds of fields. Some emit more than one kind.

* Microwave ovens

* Electrical Induction Hobs (cooker hotplates that glow red instantly and economically)

* Mobile Phones and cell phone towers and masts

* DECT cordless phones

* Wifi and Bluetooth devices

* SMART meters and SMART white goods such as fridges and washing machines, etc.  (The smart option is not to get one.)

* Baby monitors

* X-boxes and Gaming controllers

* CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lights) and energy-saving light bulbs

* Un-screened wiring looms

* Even electric tooth brushes and shaving devices emit electrical and magnetic fields, surprisingly including ones running on battery power.

What are the Dangers of Cellphones and Wireless or On-the-Go Technology?

Cell phones are probably the most widely used source of ‘pulsed microwave radiation’. They emit harmful Radio Frequencies. The bottom line is that they cause thermal and non-thermal effects that damage both your DNA and your mitochondria within each body cell. The thermal effects are negligible and these are the ones upon which all the safety standards are based. The real health damage caused by wireless technology is from non-thermal effects. I have covered the mechanism of how Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels (VGCC’s) are activated by EMF’s already in a previous post but in the podcast, I explain it again. It is this mechanism that causes upward of 7 million times the damage of the thermal effects. This makes all the safety standards off by a factor of 7,000,000!

There are a growing number of people who are EMF sensitive, and the condition they have is described as Electrical Hypersensitivity or EHS for short. These individuals are like the canary in the coal mine warning of the presence of explosive gases before they can be smelled by humans. Their extra sensitivity gives us advanced warning of cell phone, Wifi,

The idea that money is the root of all evil or its variant “The love of money is the root of all evil” are a moral assumption many of us have grown up with. It is embedded deep within the mainstream view that most people have absorbed and hold as their own to some degree without conscious consideration or reasoned argument.

The study of money is conspicuously absent from school curricula and it is rarely discussed in the mainstream media. It is not surprising, therefore, that few people understand the roots of the concept nor recognise it’s merit. Then consider that altruism, the creed of self-sacrifice dominates mainstream morality after centuries of religions influence. Consequently many people either feel guilty about having wealth or self-righteous about being poor. Few will admit openly that they are motivated by money, and some go as far as to shun material comforts altogether. The idea that money is intrinsically bad is part of our culture. We all need it, we all use it, and we all want more of it. So is it the root of all evil?

What is money?

If we combine the popular online dictionary definitions of money (referenced below) and factor in our own direct experience, we can see that money is a means of exchanging value. It enables us to buy things, to acquire goods, and to exchange our labour for a stored value that may be exchanged later. It makes trade possible, easily and efficiently overcoming the limitations of barter to mutual profit for both parties.

What is the standard of good and evil?

In order to label something as either good or evil, we must have a standard by which to measure and judge. In other words, what is the standard of good? How do we know what good is? How do we identify evil?

The concepts of good and evil are moral concepts, they pertain to morality, which means what is right and what is wrong. Although morality sounds like a boring subject the truth is the exact opposite. Morality sets out to answer the question how should man act, what should he do? This is what determines the outcome of every life lived. It is the consequences of our choices and actions that make up our life.

Rand asked what is morality and why do we need it? She observed that whatever morality you choose, whether altruism, hedonism, or egalitarianism etc, they all constitute a ‘code of values’ to guide men’s choices and actions. She went deeper still and asked, what are values?

Values, Rand observed, are objects of action. “A value is that which we act to gain and/or keep”. As well as this useful definition she also noted that the concept of value presupposes a ‘to whom?’ and a ‘for what?’ She noted that only living organisms go after values. They seek out the things they need in the face of a choice – life or death. Lets remind ourselves that the most fundamental choice in the universe is existence or nonexistence, and that it only pertains to living things. Matter cannot be destroyed it merely changes its form while its chemical elements remain, but life can go out of existence.

Plants and animals have no power to choose against their instincts or genetic programming – they have automatic guidance. They pursue the values their nature has set for them in order to stay alive, in order to keep that ultimate value that is life.

Men have no automatic guidance and our thinking can be incorrect so we need a morality or code of values to guide us in what is right and wrong. Since no other values are possible without life. It is the genetically antecedent concept of value. Life makes values both possible and necessary. This is why life is the standard of value. This is why the good is that which supports life and the evil is that which undermines or threatens it.

If you want to look into this further I  recommend read...

Santa Claus Syndrome is the name given to the psychological effects of the ‘Father Christmas’ or ‘Santa Claus’ story. It is proposed that the story is more than just a nice festive story, it is a widespread untruth that all of society is ‘in on’. Once you discover the truth one is implicitly obligated to keep telling the lie to the younger children under the guise of not spoiling it for them. Even a cursory glance at the facts should cause alarm bells to ring in any thinking mind.

Father Christmas story in a nutshell

Father Christmas (Santa) is a part of the Christian feast of Christmas. Its the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, their alleged saviour of humanity who came to die on the cross for our ‘sins’ in the ultimate display of sacrifice. The Christians proposed that Saint Nicolas was a benevolent man who made toys for the poor children hundreds of years ago in mainland Europe.

The story poses a mythical paternal figure who flies across the sky on the night of December 24th/25th each year in a magic sleigh pulled by reindeer. He climbs down the chimney and leaves free gifts for children all over the world provided they have been ‘good’. The standard of good is not specified but it is generally understood to mean ‘doing as your parents say’, or being obedient. Santa somehow knows who has been ‘good’ and who has been ‘naughty’, and if you have been naughty you will go without. The gifts are all made, the story goes, in Santa’s toy factory located at the north pole.

The result is that children everywhere, even the poor, have a happy Christmas. It is widely held as a key part of the Christmas ‘magic’. It all seems innocent enough on the surface. But what is wrong with this cultural practice? What are the long-term psychological effects? Is it really as innocent as many still profess?

Psychological implications for a developing consciousness

When we take a critical look at this story and bear in mind that it is deeply entrenched in our culture, the implications start to look rather troubling. Here is a list of the major points of concern I have identified.

The Father Christmas phenomenon is more than just a story, it is a lie promoted as truth – it is persistent deception, sometimes in the face of questioning for truth.

It is widespread and cross-cultural – almost all adults are in on it. For a young child, it seems the whole world believes in Santa Claus even though everything about the story is impossible!

It may fall just short of implicitly endorsing lying as being ‘OK’, but at the very least it programs young minds with the premise that lying is widespread, it is a part of our culture, it is what happens. This premise programmed into young minds fundamentally undermines the sanctity of truth and categorises lying as an inevitable part of the landscape of human behaviour. It is not!

The story implicitly instils the premise that if one is good (i.e. compliant) you get rewarded by ‘getting free stuff’. This conclusion has knock-on effects. Firstly, it normalises acceptance of the unearned and associates it with ‘good’. Secondly, it is a form of behaviourism – basic animal-training technique rewarding desired behaviour (compliance). This tends to negate intrinsic self-motivation. Young people can be left predisposed towards going through life pleasing people rather than understanding reality directly and independently. Thirdly, it paves the way for a parasite class. Once the idea of receiving the unearned has become a programmed part of the operating system of the mind, any politician or welfare recipient can easily rationalise participation in the redistribution of expropri...

This week we delve a little more deeply into the truth about the nature of cancer. The myth persists that cancer is a genetic disease with all the commensurate implications for treatment plans that follow on from this position. Professor Thomas Seyfried of Boston College, Massachusetts, USA, has shown clearly that this is false. For the full details see my previous post presenting the argument here.

Professor Seyfried shows that cancer is, in fact, a metabolic disease. He does so with reference to the facts. His is the only hypothesis that explains all the evidence and contradicts none of it. It also explains the failure of the continuing ‘war on cancer’. Professor Seyfried points out that a cure for cancer will never be found by the mainstream medical fraternity until it is correctly identified as a metabolic disease. Sadly there is much institutional resistance to this simple truth.

What is claimed and what is not

It must be noted that Professor Seyfried is not claiming that he has found a cure for cancer. He is claiming that cancer is a metabolic disease, and all the implications thereof. It must also be understood that he does not advocate a home approach to curing cancer. The drugs that he uses to suppress Glutamine in a pulsed fashion are not generally available to the lay person. But he has shown us a clear way to prevent cancer – by ensuring we have healthy mitochondria. Fortunately there is a wealth of information available today on how to achieve this.

The website of Professor Thomas Seyfried is here. You can find many of his interviews and other information there. And check out the interview in April 2018 “Preventing Cancer: with Professor Thomas Seyfried”

Please spread the word and maybe one day even your Medical Doctor or GP will also know the true nature of this much dreaded disease of modernity.

I hope this post helps shed more light on the subject of cancer and it’s true nature. Please feel free to join the conversation and leave a comment below.
