Black Friday Deals for Good Health

Here are some great Black Friday deals--all ONLINE--that can benefit your health. I've used most of these products and vendors and recommend them. I'm not an affiliate. 

Vitamins

iHerb.com is having a 25% off Black Friday and Cyber Monday site-wide sale.

Vitacost.com is offering $10 off $50, stackable with a variety of other deals.

Tried and True Supplements I use:

Doctor's Best magnesium (peach powder, unflavored powder, and tablets)

Country Life kelp tablets

Solgar zinc, 22 mg

NOW vitamin D, 5,000 IU

NOW astaxanthin, 4 mg

Jarrow hyaluronic acid, 120 mg

Solaray vitamin C tablets, 485 mg

Collagen Powder, Dips, Dressings, Mayo and Sauces

Primal Kitchen products--all made without added sugar or Frankenfoods--are on sale. If you remember Mark Sisson from the Mark's Daily Apple blog, Primal Kitchen is his company.

PrimalKitchen.com (25% off this week only)

iHerb.com (25% off)

Vitacost.com (20% off)

I love their vanilla, peanut butter and chocolate-mint collagen powders (chocolate-mint is half off at Primal Kitchen), chicken dippin' sauce, special sauce, Korean barbecue sauce, buffalo sauce, and mayonnaise. I'm not a fan of the pasta and pizza sauces I've tried--they're too bland and dark for me.

Improve your Sleep with a Dark Bedroom

I did this by accident. A few months ago, I discovered insect mud nests in my bedroom window and had the windows replaced. The blinds I'd taken off--thick, heavy, and dusty--never went back up. When I saw the price of mini-blinds ($300 for two windows!) I looked for curtains and ordered these from Amazon. They're not true blackout curtains, but they do block about 80% of the light. The blue ones aren't on sale, but some of the other colors are. Tip: use a thick, sturdy curtain rod with them, preferably with a center bracket--they're heavy. 

If you want your room even darker, you could hop on the dark, moody interiors trend. Conventional wisdom is that dark colors are depressing, but you might find them soothing, sophisticated or cozy. My favorite paint brand isn't on sale, but you can buy a gallon of Kilz primer at Ace Hardware, which is offering 50% off one item under $30. It will help cover light-colored or glossy paint. 

Vibration Plate for Helping Strength, Bone Density and Tendonitis Recovery

I was skeptical, but using a vibration plate has greatly helped get rid of my tendonitis. A lot of members at the Inner Circle like theirs, too, and Dr. Davis recommends them. LifePro (the brand I have) has some major discounts. 

Vegetable Seeds

There's nothing like the taste of a home-grown tomato, and vegetables grown in good, rich soil may provide more nutrients than commercially grown ones. Burpee is having a Black Friday sale on seeds. They're spendy, but I've found their seeds very reliable and they have some varieties that are hard to find. Here are some seeds that have grown well for me in central Indiana:

Mortgage Lifter tomatoes--heirloom variety that's pink and juicy

Pick-a-Bushel cucumbers--resistant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Scab, and MMV

Gypsy peppers--sweet pepper with a high yield

Shooting stars eggplant--thin, tender skin

I'm going to try VF Roma (resistant to Verticillium and Fusarium wilts) for canning

HHS Doctor on Hidden Camera: "The Vaccine is Full of Sh!t"

Jodi O'Malley, a registered nurse at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (part of the Department of Health and Human Services), teamed up with Project Veritas to expose severe COVID vaccine reactions occurring but not being reported to VAERS, the vaccine adverse event reporting system, even though medical professionals are legally required to report such injuries. During the filming, a man in his thirties with congestive heart failure was being treated; the doctor believed the cause was his COVID vaccination. O'Malley says she's seen dozens of adverse reactions. "The vaccine is full of shit" and the government wants to "sweep it under the mat," the doctor says on hidden camera. We finally know what's in the vaccine. Screen grab from Project Veritas video . The video also shows a pharmacist stating that off-label medications such as ivermectin were forbidden to be prescribed on pain of termination.  Project Veritas is a nonprofit organization that does ...

COVID Test Result is In

I don't have COVID.  On the one hand, it would have been a relief to have finally caught COVID and gotten natural antibodies, especially from having a mild case of it. On the other hand, I was concerned about my dog catching it from me (he's healthy, but nine years old) and it might have interfered with Thanksgiving plans.  Until I'm well, I'll stay home.

Gaining Strength, But...

I had a pleasant surprise when I got out the sawzall today to finish repairs on the front door. Not the way it cut the new door sweep--I probably should have used the jigsaw. It was how easy it was to put the blade in. You have to turn a part on the saw, which I could barely do two months ago when I had nails to cut off . Today--probably thanks to spending my spare time since August working saws, sanders and paintbrushes--it was no harder than turning a knob on the stove.  So I've built up some strength in my hands and probably elsewhere, but my adrenals aren't keeping up with cortisol production. After a day's work (well, three or four hours, to be honest), my neck, back, jaws, and sinuses all hurt and they don't feel better until use a dab of hydrocortisone. Other pain relievers don't help much. This isn't normal muscle stiffness--the kind you get from working out--it feels like I'm inflamed. Last weekend in particular, after a flu shot and a few days of p...

The Under-the-Radar Ointment for Hard-to-Heal Wounds

Imagine looking in the mirror one morning and finding the side of your head black and your ear twice its normal size. That's what happened to Brad Burnam, who caught a deadly superbug at the hospital where he worked. Sometime after having emergency surgery--one of 21 surgeries over the next five years--he set out to cure himself.  The result he created was a fusion of PHMB, an antibiotic common in Europe but little known in the US, in a petroleum jelly base (like Vaseline), held together with a stabilizer/emulsifier. It sticks to wounds, keeps them moist, and provides a barrier. It cured his antibiotic resistant superbug. After getting FDA clearance, he formed Turn Therapeutics, and Hexagen is now available by prescription.  Screen shot from https://turntherapeutics.com/about/ Millions of Americans suffer from open wounds--chronic issues like diabetic foot ulcers. Readers probably have their blood sugar under control and avoid this condition, but might have parents, partners o...

1972: Carole King, M*A*S*H and...Food for 2014?

I feel well enough to try Atkins induction again. The palpitations are gone, even without taking potassium. My energy level is back to normal--no more trucking on the treadmill early in the morning  to burn off nervous energy or emergency meat, cheese and mineral water stops after yoga. It's back to lounging around to Chopin and Debussy in the morning and stopping at the wine bar for pleasure. I'm using the original Atkins book: Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution from 1972. While looking in the book for a way to make gelatin (which is allowed on induction, but Jello(TM) and products like it have questionable ingredients), I felt the earth move under my feet : those recipes from 42 years ago look delicious and they're mostly real food. It makes sense, though: the cooks who wrote the recipes probably didn't have had a palette used to low-fat food full of added sugar or a bag of tricks to make low-fat food edible. Anyone who writes a recipe called "Cottage Cheese and...
