Chips! The Only Ones I'll Endorse 21.07.2022

My friend Steve, who is the one who originally introduced me to the Essex Farm CSA that now supplies me with almost all my food, has invented a new tortilla chip that launches today! MASA chips are made from organic corn from small New England farms. The corn is nixtimalized, which frees the niacin, makes it more digestible, and eliminates 97-100% of the mycotoxins (based on studies with aflatoxin...

Mathew Crawford: Fraud in the Military's Health Database? 22.06.2022

In this interview, Mathew Crawford walks me through his slide presentation of data showing that, at some point between 2020 and 2021, the 2016-2019 data from the US Military's health database was altered in a way that hides the explosion of poorly-defined illness among troops that happened in 2021 as the COVID vaccines were rolled out. For the video with the slides, a more complete summary, and a...

Nutrition in Neuroscience Part 2 | Mastering Nutrition #41 09.06.2022

Part 2 of how NUTRITION has a HUGE impact on your BRAIN! Everything in your brain is something you ate, something you made from something you ate, or, in a few cases, something your mother ate. Nutrition impacts your mental and emotional health, the function of your five senses, and your conscious and unconscious control over your body movements. Join me as I lead you in a safari through the textb...

A New Paradigm for Severe COVID 25.05.2022

This new model I developed explains how the depletion of arginine and tryptophan and the sequestration of cysteine leads to T cell suppression in severe COVID and may reflect the rapid onset of a somewhat cancer-reminiscent state where vitamins A and D and other myeloid differentiation factors run out. The written version with references and links to research is available here: https://chrismaster...

Reversing Fatty Liver: How Long Does It Take? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #296 30.04.2022

Short answer: You should be able to see changes on imaging within a few weeks if your approach is working well, but ultimately this is entirely dependent on how negative your "delta fatty liver = (fat in) - ((fat out) + (fat burned))" equation is. This is a clip from a live Q&A session open to CMJ Masterpass members. In addition to this episode, you can access five other free samples using this li...

What's the difference between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D when it comes to the VDR? | Masterjohn Q&A Files #295 29.04.2022

Short answer: 25(OH)D is 1000 times weaker at activating the VDR than 1,25(OH)D, but 1000 times more abundant. This is why I advocate measuring both, and ultimately believe we need to create a calculated index of "biological vitamin D activity" from them. This is a clip from a live Q&A session open to CMJ Masterpass members. In addition to this episode, you can access five other free samples using...

Rising Food Prices Part 3: The Commodity Trade 08.04.2022

The Spike Protein As a Pore-Forming Toxin 30.03.2022

The spike protein pokes holes in cell membranes at concentrations much lower than those achieved with vaccination, contributing to COVID-like illness and mitochondrial damage. But is the J&J immune?

The Emerging Food Crisis 29.03.2022

The Hospitals Are Not Full of COVID Patients 29.01.2022

The pandemic that no one dare speak of: 79% of people hospitalized for COVID-like illness test negative for COVID. The vaccines protect against  testing positive  among those hospitalized, but not against winding up in the hospital with the symptoms. And deaths? We have no idea. What the heck is going on? Read the written and referenced analysis here: The Pandemic of PCR-Negative COVID-Like Illnes...
