    The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting for a Healthy Immune System
    How Eating Frequency Affects Our Immune System "...Eating too often puts stress on our cells, We have a system that removes waste and damaged particles from our cells: it is known as the autophagy system. Autophagy allows the cells to function more efficiently,which improves the functions of our organs, tissues, and the entire immune system.The number of inflammatory molecules in our blood is directly linked to the function of our autophagy system. Imagine there is trash lying around your house.You walk through the halls and the rooms and pick up the trash,put the trash in bags, and put the bags in cans by the street.Then the garbage collector comes by and takes the garbage;they put it into their truck and haul it off to the landfill or incinerator.This is what the autophagy system does within our bodies.The autophagy system has special cells that pick up the waste products and take them to the equivalent of the landfills or incinerators within our bodies. It takes our bodies 4-6 hours to digest, metabolize, and utilize the nutrients in food before returning to pre-meal homeostasis.That means that if you were to eat throughout the day,from when you wake up to when you go to bed, you could end up staying in a post-meal) state for 18 hours each day. Then your body is focused on digesting and assimilating nutrients, not on removing wastes. So garbage can accumulate in your cells and tissues. Imagine if you were to make your dinner meal using the same pots and pans you used to make your lunch meal, without cleaning them first. Yet, almost all of us do this to our bodies all the time..."

    Tom Paladino: Renowned Researcher Explains the Healing Benefits of Scalar Energy
    Tom Paladino is a scalar energy researcher based in Florida. Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy, or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy. Tom began research with Scalar Energy during his undergraduate years after developing a deep admiration for the father of Scalar Energy research or knowledge, Nikola Tesla. He was also able to study the work of a man Hieronymus who continued research on Scalar Energy. Hieronymus’ major contributions included unbinding the RNA/ DNA bonds of microbes plaguing the agricultural industry (rendering them harmless). The existence of such energy not found within the electromagnetic spectrum, fascinated Tom. Inspired by these findings, he pursued a course of independent study seeking to better understand and subsequently harness Scalar Energy, through the development of an instrument called “Scalar Light”. Tom theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as scalar energy; and that the sun of our solar system and the stars of the universe are the points of origin, “the storehouses,” for scalar energy. He further theorized that scalar energy is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by this Divine Essence. Subsequently, all spiritual, cognitive, emotional, and physical action in the universe is initiated and maintained by scalar energy instructions. Scalar energy provides order in the universe.

    Road Safety Re: Bikers Ebikes Escooters and Texting Jay Walking Pedestrians
    ".We’ll look at how e-scooters,e-bikes, pedestrians who text while jaywalking and legally walking across the streets with a sense of entitlement, and all of the above mentioned who play the game of "chicken with car drivers. have changed the streetscape in New York and raised safety concerns.E-powered machines can fill the gaps in urban transportation systems for trips to places that are too far to walk to but are too close for the subway or bus, they take up little, if any, street space for parking; and they are fun to ride,Their popularity surged with the pandemic.,George Diaz of the Bronx bought an e-scooter last year to reduce the risk of being exposed to the coronavirus on his crowded bus commute.“It saves me money,” At least 17 people have been killed while riding electric mobility vehicles this year,according to city officials. Revel, which operates an electric moped share program in the city, shut it down for a month last year after three riders were killed.3 pedestrians have also died in e-mobility crashes this year, among them the actress Lisa Banes, who was knocked down by a hit-and-run scooter rider on the Upper West Side. And many pedestrians and cyclists complain about e-bike and e-scooter riders who speed, ride on sidewalks, run red lights, and go the wrong way on streets. The e-bikes, they don’t mind which way they have to go, how they go, where they go,” When you’re crossing the street, it’s not just looking for a car. You have to look to see if any bike is coming. Most e-bikes and e-scooters did not become legal in New York City until last year,unlike cars, they are not registered or licensed or required to have insurance. Unlike drivers, e-riders caught speeding by automatic cameras are not sent summonses. by James Barron...

    A Book Review of Games People Play - Eric Berne, MD
    "Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne's classic is as astonishing - and revealing - as it was on the day it was first published.  We play games all the time - sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends, Detailing status contests like "Martini" ( I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like " It It Weren't For You" and Uproar" to flirtation favorites like "The Stocking Game" and Lets You and Him Fight"  Dr. Berne exposes the secret plays and unconscious maneuvers the rule our intimate lives. Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. It's as powerful and eye-opening as ever."  James R, Allen MD

    A book review of New York City Mayor Eric Adams "Healthy at Last"
    As part of his100+ Steps Forward plan for New York City, Mayor Eric Adams 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.

    Part 2---Spiritual Warrior -The Practice of Compassion and Gratitude
    ".The way we view positive events in our life is important..If we feel that it is due us..we are not practicing the proper consciousness of gratitude.. "In today's world, we are surrounded by environments so hostle to our human and spiritual growth that higher truths cannot easily penetrate our consciousness. Yet these truths are just what we need. Physical reality is simply an external manifestation of something already set into motion at a deeper level, and material solutions to our problems will not work because they do not probe beneath the surface." The Ancient Bhagavad-gita takes the form of a long conversation between the Lord and the warrior Arjuna. As Arjuna inquires about the spiritual truths of existence, the lord offers important insights into the nature of lust. Bhakti Tirtha Swami (February 25, 1950 – June 27, 2005) (previously known as John Favors and Toshombe Abdul) also known as Swami Krishnapada.] As an African American seeker who rose from the improverished condition of an Cleveland getto to become a global spiritual leader,  Bhakti Tirtha Swami met with prominent world figures such as Mohammed Ali,  Nelson Mandela  and Zambia's president Kenneth Kaunda.
