Hi! Reading your posts has made me feel a little better. I am still devastated and was so getting ill closer to the interview. I hate how this evil woman is essentially starting another cold War just to stop will and Kate being king and queen because she and Harry can't. I'm sick that people can't see through her bs and celebs coming to her defence. I want to cry for kate and go guns blazing defending her but I'm a nobody. I want each and every one of these vile Sussex fans and those defend them to get their comeuppance. I want Harry and meghans nasty manouvers to be exposed. I want justice for will and Kate. Any hope you can give? And tips on how to deal with it so my peace doesn't become more damaged?

Hello. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Hope - yes. The BRF and their supporters will triumph in the end, and things should start to get better sometime in the next three months.

For Catherine, you could send her a card of support, saying that you believe her side of the story. I am sure that will mean a lot to her.

Meghan (and Harry) will be exposed. It has started already. People are seeing through her and calling her out on her lies, and I have seen a few media articles doing the same thing.

The celebs coming to MM’s defence is them jumping on a current issue to get their names in the media. They have to make up for a year of covid silence. It is all PR for them. I ignore them. Their opinions mean nothing. Next week or month it will be a different bandwagon for the same PR reasons.

As for how to deal with it - walk a way for a bit. It sounds like it has all become too much for you, so take a mental health week. Eat, sleep, cook, do handiwork, run, dance, connect with your family and friends - whatever makes you happy. Disconnect from social media about the Harkles and just breathe. When you are ready, come back and take another look.

Remember that it is not your job to fight these battles for the BRF. That is their job, and they have only just begun their moves. The response the Queen sent out has Omid Scobie very upset, and if he is upset then MM is upset (as he functions as her mouthpiece), which means the Queen has made the right move. Look for small sign s like that. I saw a media article on my news this morning where the headline said something like “All these pictures of MM, and not one shows her unhappiness”. That tells me MM is running scared. She knows all the pictures of her at the time she claimed to be suicidal show her as smiling and happy, so she has to discredit the pictures to support her narratives (I’m not saying that suicidal people can’t smile and look happy. I am saying that the need to discredit the pictures tells me that she is scared).

If you believe in a higher power, pray to them. Tell them what you want. Ask for the Harkle supporters to get their comeuppance. Ask for Catherine to be defended. Prayer always helps. You could also send loving and supportive energy to William and Catherine. That would help them as well. Science has proven that our thoughts/energies affect the particles in the air around us, so send all the supportive thoughts you can spare to William, Catherine, the Queen etc, and that will help.

Take care of yourself, first and foremost. That is the most important thing.

TF2 Ask Meme: Irradiator

yes im doing my own ask meme ahdkashjdfkemfjf..i dont answer all the qwuestions tho bc i dont really feel like it .

https://radium228.tumblr.com/post/624822035746619392/tf2-10th-class-oc-ask-meme

Link there if u wanna do it tooo

Character Building/Backstory

• What was it specifically about your OC and their skills that caught the attention of Mann Co?

Irradiator was a nuclear engineer who worked at a power plant, but in their spare time designed methods to use nuclear energy in weaponry on a small scale. This expertise and arsenal caught the attention of Mann Co for being particularly exploitable unique and contacted them with a undisclosed job offer that paid a lot better than their job at the plant.

• What mercs does your OC get along with well? Who do they have most in common with? Any best friends? Or...more than that...? 👀

Irradiatior gets along *very* well with engineer. The two of them can often be found discussing science and engineering, and talking about their respective fields together. Of course, engie with all his phds, ends up teaching them more, but it is still a common pasttime for them. They are also pretty close with pyro, due to them both having a lot in common regarding obscured identities, and wearing safety suits all the time. They also get along well with heavy because they both come from the same region, and often share old stories about their life in the USSR. However, despite all this, Irradiator does not often socialise enough with anyone to consider anyone a *best friend* or super close. Irradiator is a pretty reclusive person and suffers a lot from paranoia and social anxiety, and prefers the company of very few people, and not people that talk too much. Suprisingly they get along ok with Soldier, but this is mainly because he assumes the Georgia they come from is the state, not the country. There is one merc however, they really admire.......but they prefer to keep that to themselves.

• What mercs does your OC NOT get along with? Anyone they particularly hate? Why?

Irradiator does NOT get along with scout at all. They don’t hate him, but he is just too social and too much for them to handle, and he makes them anxious. He basically kind of scared them away. They do not appreciate spy’s company and finds him very pretentious and if they do say something to him, it can come across as kind of rude. Spy is the one they come the closest to hating, but they at the very least tolerate his existence and try not to make a huge deal about it. The other mercs they don’t really know well enough to have strong opinions on.

• What is it specifically about your OC’s personality that stands out? Many of the mercs have their own (exaggerated) traits that make them , well, them! (Canon examples are like how soldier is obsessed with America, Medics shockingly Hippocratic approach to medicine, etc.)

Their LOVE for radiation and radioactive materials. Its a part of their personality! Like seriously, its almost kind of concerning how eager they are to expose themselves to radiation. This of course, means semi frequent visits to medic to cure radiation sickness. They keep radioactive things as collectibles and overall are just...Obsessed with it to the point that people start to wonder if its some sort of fetish.....

• Whats an unexpected quality your OC has? A secret hobby or skill or trait that nobody would expect from them?

Perhaps not so unexpected, but their LOVE for bugs. they really enjoy learning about insects!! They really want to have a pet bug, but of course this kinda freaks everyone out except for probably Pyro and Sniper. This is also a factor in why they dislike spy, because of his rude response to them wanting to have a pet bug.

“Gameplay” Questions

• What classes/mercs is your oc strong against?

They have a good amount of power over everyone if used effectively, however, they work the best to counter lower health classes like scout and spy with their dirty (radioactive) grenades that leave radioactive waste that damages and leaves a bleed effect whereever it is that it exploded. This of course means higher health classes have more of a chance against it, but it will cut down the health of a lower health class very easy, and can quickly stop a charge for some time.

• What classes/mercs is your oc weak against?

Most weak against engineer, because radiation does not do anything to a sentry or dispenser. However higher damage classes like Heavy and soldier they are naturally weak against in general. Engineer is their biggest counter, though.

• What would you do to make your character balanced, but still fun to play? Basically what weapons and abilities would you limit? Which ones would you highlight?

Their dirty grenades are limited in supply, and have very little explosion damage, and the radioactive “bleed” effect does not last super long. The radiation also only lasts in an area for about only a minute or so at a time, and gets weaker over time before completely dissipating. The radiation is also incapable of killing any of the mercs on its own. It can only lower health drastically, causing them to have to consider whether or not they want to push on low health, or recover health. Their raygun works similarily, and has a bleed effect as well, but is much higher than the grenades, and is capable of killing through radiation damage. Irradiator themselves can become damaged by their own radiation by standing in too much of it at a time, but the damage output is still greatly reduced. Basically it is sort of like if demoman and the boston basher were combined into a person, lol.

• Would your OC have a special ability or gameplay element unique to them? (Canon examples include Pyro’s pyrovision, Soldiers ability to rocket jump)

Believe it or not? Damage yourself with radiation. No, really. It will increase their run speed and damage, but at the cost of having greatly reduced health. (of course there is a ceiling to this. Super low health does NOT mean super speed and extreme damage.)

• Write a few taunting voice lines your oc would have for when they kill an enemy and want to rub it in.

“Not even the biggest dose of iodine can save you from that!” (iodine is used to treat/prevent radation poisoning.) “And you thought you were a silent killer? Even the most clever spy cannot sneak around radioactivity!” (directed at spy of course) “I suppose the streets of Boston did not teach you the dangers of radiation, no?” (directed at scout)

• Would your OC be effective on the front lines, flanking, ambush, or rear?

Ambush for certain, in my opinion, but i really dont know!

For Fun Questions

• What cosmetics would you like your OC to have? Is there a particular theme? Feel free to include pics of what clothing, hats, or weapons you’d like to see as cosmetics for your OC.

A lot of space age type stuff. Or a hazmat/NBC suit variation of traditional Georgian costumes.

• What bird would your OC’s bird head cosmetic be?

A loon!

• Who would you like to voice act for your OC?

I dont have a specific voice claim honestly. Basically anyone who can do a georgian accent and has a deeper kinda ambigious voice.

• Would your OC have a Team Fortress Classic counterpart like the other mercs do in the comics? What makes your TFC merc different from your TF2 oc?

No, actually. At least not at the peak of the TFC run, which was in the 1930s. The position of the Irradiator would really only exist after or during WW2!

I DON’T FEAR CORONA VIRUS . Dr. N. Prabhudev Former Director Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, Bangalore Former Vice Chancellor, Bangalore University Former Chairman, Karnataka State Health Commission, Government of Karnataka The Pandemic does not rattle me: Corona will pass too! Don’t fear death from corona virus. There is more life than Death. Corona also will die. It will die its own death. Maybe it takes a few lives with it before it dies. Fast forward to now, plane trips from one city to another are less than Rs 5000/- Travel is available to the masses. This results in a sharing of germs AND a more diversely responsive, globally intelligent immune system within us. The likelihood of a sweeping Spanish Flu of 1918-1919 is not likely simply because we are being exposed to global organisms regularly due to ubiquitous travel. Corona Virus is as contagious as SARS, yet much less deadly, with a fatality rate of about 2.3 - 3.5 percent. The fatality rate of the seasonal influenza is 1-2%. symptoms are relatively mild in some people, especially those under 30 years of age, the virus is allowed to spread before being identified. It may be similarly fatal to a rate similar to the seasonal flu. We all have innate immunity to support our body and immune system and our community. I don’t mean to sound callous or promoting a false sense of invincibility. Who is affected the worst? There are people unable to get outside to exercise or are physically compromised and unable to exercise. Those who are old who may have reduced innate immunity. Those who are malnourished may attract the virus easily. People on immunosuppressive medications for chronic inflammatory disease or post any tissue transplant, people on chemotherapy or with severe asthma are vulnerable. Those with a bad hygiene and in a filthy environment are vulnerable! 2019-nCoV had raised our awareness of personal hygiene No hand shaking! Just manage with a Namaste! virus can get directly into our nose and respiratory passages. Wash your hands with ANY kind of soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer. HAND WASHING WORKS BETTER. Cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Then wash your hands. stay home and stay away from others if you are coughing. Take vitamin D – find your extra dose. I use 2000 iu extra daily for about 6-8 months a year. Get a flu shot. Get a BCG vaccine. It helps your innate immunity! Take vitamin C. it enhances your immunity! I realize there are advocates for even higher vitamin D levels. work to 35-45 ng/mL Vitamin D total. Take adequate vitamin A and Zinc and selenium. Take some cod liver oil. Your mucous membranes are your first line of defence against these viruses and cod liver oil helps nourish this defensive region of the lungs, sinuses and throat. Keep zinc lozenges on hand. These prevent viral replication in the mouth and throat. The metallic-tasing zinc creates an antimicrobial arena right where you want it. Each lozenge should be about 10 mg each of zinc – and you can use them 3-4 per day on day. Ensure adequate levels of iron and vitB12. As of now, don’t take the anti-malarial HCQ- Hydroxy quinolone Tabs as a prophylaxis against Corona. As yet there is no proved benefit or protection. Wait for the ICMR trial study on front line COVID19 workers and the seriously sick, to be ready sometime in June. The results will show you the way forward! Be aware that HCQ can precipitate cardiac emergencies which are often fatal. Yes, President Trump said he is taking HCQ tablets for prophylaxis. Let us leave it to his Wisdom! Fear of death Feelings are, by definition, hard to put into words. So, to accurately describe the anxiety now gripping the world is extremely challenging. “Scared” isn’t strong or nuanced enough to capture the kind of fear so many people seem to be feeling. Fear of death is universal! In the case of Coronavirus- a strange disease in a place in China none of us had ever heard of. And then, without much warning, suddenly in a few days the cloud has grown and darkened and fills the whole sky, blotting out the sun. The storm of fear is on us, ready to overwhelm us. Fear comes in many forms. It can be fear for ourselves or for our loved ones. Fear can be big or small, laughable or deadly. Fear of running out of toilet paper or fear of gasping for breath in a hospital corridor. Yes, there has never been anything in our lifetimes like the coronavirus. A global pandemic that we have no medicine is scaring the living daylights out of all of us. Being scared is normal. I’m afraid of illness and death. It’s part of being human. Fear is not wrong. It prepares you for any eventuality! But too much fear is worse and fear of death is a powerful emotion. Irrational and all-encompassing fear of the coronavirus pandemic is racking up its own body count, sometimes faster than the disease. It could fuel a toxic cycle of guilt and recrimination and tell tale suicides. Be cautious, there is a huge difference between caution and fear. Fear will weaken our resolve. It will undermine our health. Depression will sap our energy and make us partially give up. Fear can kill just as fast as any virus. Fear compromises our immunity, and depression renders us inanimate and incapable of fully responding to real threats. Live with Hope The governments of China, the United States, Iran, and Italy and India included, have all badly fumbled their responses. Some of them lying about the outbreak and punishing the whistle-blowers, delay- in initiating screenings, isolations and lockdowns. We are guilty of waiting for president Trump to get back to USA. At times like these, people naturally want and expect a reasonable, fact-based, and fully transparent government to protect them. There are, indeed, very good reasons to be afraid. Even if the odds of each of us, dying from the coronavirus is low, everyone has friends and family in more vulnerable groups. Worrying about protecting others is one of our best and most natural instincts, and using that fear to take precautions is very important. we as a species have survived far worse calamities like the Black Plague, HIV/AIDS - which, for many years, had a 100 percent fatality rate, SARS, and H1N1 etc. Or consider traffic accidents, which kill about 1.25 million people every year yet seem to have little impact on people’s behaviour. Nine million die of other disease in India every year. We have learnt to take it as a matter of fact! Corona is feared because! No doubt, Coronavirus is a real danger. The Fear is because the coronavirus is new, invisible, sometimes deadly—and still largely unknown. Not only are we far from a vaccine, but we still don’t really know what we’re up against and how lethal the disease actually is! The coronavirus has proved particularly frightening because of the way it both embodies and exploits issues that were already provoking intense anxiety around the world: namely globalization, mass migration, and interdependence. The response should be comprehensive, leveraging the full resources of every nation it has affected. We should heed our health professionals, embrace social distancing. Take the necessary precautions, the virus will pass. What Next? The problem the government and its advisers face is that they cannot make decisions with the benefit of a hindsight - they have to react to emerging evidence. Currently, the lockdown is aimed at suppressing the spread of the virus. Once the peak has passed decisions will have to be made on bringing the society back on its heels! The virus will not simply go away, with a vaccine at least a year away the challenge will be how to manage it. A balance will need to be struck between keeping it at bay and trying to control its spread to avoid a second peak, while at the same time allowing the country to return to normal. Treatment will be found, a vaccine will be produced, markets will rebound, and life will flourish. Our medical professionals will find a vaccine. Our political leaders must ensure we have all the tests we need. And all responsible citizens must practice social distancing so as not to spread the virus, especially to the most vulnerable and elderly among us. But all of this should be done because we love life and protect souls rather than because we fear illness and are panicked by death. Actually, we are fighting two epidemics at once – an epidemic of a challenging new virus that caused illness and death, and an epidemic of fear. The first one constituted a global health crisis, which continues to this day. The second epidemic did significant damage on its own by stoking discrimination against the most affected communities. The stigma is overwhelming! It is another virus which will be conquered!

Hi! New follower here, been stalking your the 100 tag and totally love your speculation (plus you are so point on!). I love your scientific input so would you mind if I asked a few questions over the hiatus? :) f. e. how did, in your opinion, Clarke pulled off the whole surviving thing? Directly after the death wave. I mean she stumbled into the lab, right? How come it didnt colapse? What about water, food, etc? Basically I am asking for your survival guide for this situation lol plus theories -

- theories how could Clarke and that green spot survive *_* Plus rover survived too, what the hell? That death wave was seen to melt everything it touches… and how come it ONLY takes 5 years in order for the radiation to go down considerably??? aaaarg, so many questions haha throw science at me, I will take anything you come up with :)

Ok first off, this is a super nice ask - thank you for the complements! Seriously, this made my day.

Getting on to the ask… there’s a lot of questions in here so I’m going to tackle them one at a time.

1a- Clarke’s immediate survival.

There’s two pieces to the puzzle here on how Clarke survived the death wave.

The first piece of this survival puzzle is the people-melting energy levels of the death wave. This is why it was vital that Clarke make it inside.

Being inside and underground is the best place you can be. This is illustrated in the image below.

(Credit: Business Insider http://www.businessinsider.com/survive-nuclear-attack-fallout-shelter-cars-2017-5 )My head canon is that Becca’s lab is surrounded by multiple blast shields. We know from canon it has at least one shield to protect the lab from the rocket. It is highly likely that there are additional shields surrounding the rest of the lab. This would be to both protect the lab from a rocket launch, but also for containment breaches resulting from the research in the lab. This insulation would protect Clarke from the energy of the blast.

The next piece is about Clarke surviving the increased toxicity from the radiation associated with the nuclear plant meltdowns and the death wave.

We have to conclude that the nightblood solution worked – this is eluded to when Clarke greets Madi (someone clearly born prior to the death wave) by calling her a nightblood. Nightblood is what they have in common and likely let them both live.

Nightbloods have a higher tolerance for toxicity caused by acute radiation. This was proven earlier in the season when Luna showed up with Floukru after ingesting fish that had been exposed to the increased radiation. Luna was able to recover from the acute radiation sickness when the rest of Floukru did not.

It seems that Clarke had a similar but worse reaction from her exposure to the oncoming death wave. Clarke had much higher level of radiation toxicity to deal with - hence the severe and rapid symptoms - but eventually was able to heal once she was removed from that acutely toxic environment.

1b- Clarke’s prolonged survival and how to find food/water.

For water, I strongly believe Clarke had one of two options.

Access to a fresh water aquifer through a well. For this source to still be viable after the death wave it must also be true that there was minimal or inconsequential earthquake-like activity. Creating such a well would require drilling deep down into the ground to an aquifer that the ocean had not infiltrated. By pulling from a source deep underground the numerous meters of earth capping the aquifer would ensure that the radiation of the death wave would not impact the water. This option is also viable regardless of whether or not the lab has power.

A functioning water recycler. Given Becca’s work was funded on the premise that humanity was outgrowing it’s limits, you could make a case that Becca’s lab had to prove they too could live off of recycled water. We also know from the finale that Becca’s equipment was very similar to that on the Ark (Monty mentioned it when they went to grab the oxygenator). Additionally, it might have been with the increased activity in space that at-home or at-work recycled water was common and economically feasible.

There are of course other ways Becca’s lab could have received their water (e.g. desalinated ocean water), but we need a scenario where the water Clarke is drinking hasn’t been impacted by the radiation. Unless there is a really intense and self-cleaning water treatment system in Becca’s lab, I believe either of the two options above could work.

Food - I must admit I am not sure what Clarke would be able to find to eat. I really think the plot is what is going to make a decision here.

For example, the Writers could decide that some food was left behind because it’s weight to nutritional value ratio wasn’t high enough. This would get Clarke through the first year with some severe rationing.

I find the question of “what to do about food?” to be most challenging to figure out a realistic scenario.

Clarke has guns in the finale, which implies she has been hunting (it seems there are no other humans around). But my first piece of advice to anyone going into a place with high toxicity would be to not eat anything high up on the food chain. The higher up you go, the more radiation has been accumulated by radiation exposed beings eating other radiation exposed beings.

Perhaps Clarke’s nightblood will save her again — despite the established precedent that eating radiation exposed fish would make you severely sick.

Now there are two other possible scientific options for Clarke to acquire food:

1. Clarke has become a forager and is eating irradiated food. This would mean that by complete happy coincidence the death wave was releasing energy waves at such a level that it was able to kill off any bacteria growth - but not so intense that it influenced the nuclei of the food to become radioactive. Given the unplanned nature of the death wave this seems far-fetched to me.

2. Clarke was able to wait for new plant growth. There are some plants that need fires for germination of their seeds. (Source if you don’t believe me: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/yosemite-sequoias-fire ). These plants are highly resistant to fire… but not completely. Given Bellamy looked down to an Earth that was completely on fire (you couldn’t even see the oceans!) this also seems unlikely.

I firmly believe the plot will save Clarke here.

2- Survival of Becca’s lab

I’m not too worried about Becca’s lab.

Becca’s lab is primarily located underground. We’ve seen in the credits of the show and in other areas that it’s really only an entryway that is above ground - and there must be at least one other blast door that opens to let the rocket leave.

As I mentioned above - my headcannon is that the blast door to the rocket wasn’t the only blast-proof wall attached to Becca’s lab.

I’d back this headcannon up by referencing the most under-rated hilarious moment of the finale – Becca’s lab staff overdoing it on health and safety protocols at the antenna thereby forcing Clarke to be unsafely left behind (good grief THE IRONY!). As mentioned before, planning to mitigate the effect of a rocket blasting off on top of your laboratory will require planning and blast shields.

But the writers may decide something different.

No matter what, the only piece of the building above ground was the entryway - which if it collapsed or was consumed by fire wouldn’t be too big of a deal. Given its relative size to the rest of the structure it is unlikely it would do much additional damage.

3 - how did the rover survive?

It shouldn’t have.

For contrast, let’s compare this with a real life scenario.

In 2016 a huge wild fire happened in and around Fort McMurray, Canada. Over 75,000 people were evacuated from this city as a wall of fire descended and cut off the only highway to leave. Thankfully due to a culture of safety and good planning - no one died from the fire.

Here’s a before picture:

(Credit: CBC http://www.cbc.ca/interactives/longform/news/battling-the-beast-fort-mcmurray-wildfire )

Here’s an after picture:

(Credit: CBC http://www.cbc.ca/interactives/longform/news/battling-the-beast-fort-mcmurray-wildfire )

Fires, like the one we saw in the death wave both consume and cook what lays before them. If the rover wasn’t chewed up by the fire, the heat from it should have melted its systems within it that would allow it to function.

Some far-fetched reasons the Rover could have survived:

The writers could say that for ~*~reasons~*~ the rover was surrounded in something that protected it from the initial blast and the prolonged flames.

Perhaps it was parked in a garage that was underground before they got on the boat to the island. Given we never saw an underground garbage by the ocean this would be a very convenient after the fact consideration. Also I doubt the delinquents would have nicely put the car away when they had planned to leave it behind for five+ years.

Or perhaps since the delinquents knew they weren’t going to see the rover again, in a last moment of childish end-of-world shenanigans they joy-rided it into the ocean. The ocean water then would have protected it from some of the heat and fire. Now Clarke would have a mostly intact Rover to deal with… but even still I feel like this would be beyond her ability to repair.

Maybe the rover we saw in the finale isn’t our rover, just one that looks incredibly similar.

4- only five years for radiation to go down considerably

Wild speculation:

Perhaps it took six years and that is why the delinquents haven’t returned to Earth.

Or maybe, in a throw back to the pilot, the penal colony ship will open the door and the air will be too toxic this time. Could you imagine? We get a season premiere where we see two characters bickering “what if the air is toxic?” “then we’re all dead anyways” and they actually die. This would be followed by me as the audience ACTUALLY DYING.

Wild speculation aside, I agree - this is a problem. Especially in contrast to the visuals we see at the end of the finale. Seeing the entire world on fire - EVEN THE OCEANS - makes it seem that the world is done and gone forever.

( Look at this - there are BURNING AREAS, not just clouds, EVERYWHERE. And that’s before you consider the giant dramatic plumes of spinning green-hot energy launching into the air.)

Everything we know about the death wave hints at the fact that the Earth is dead.

For instance, why was the death wave speeding up? What was providing new energy to the death wave to allow it to do this?

But for me the biggest hole of all is the fact that our burning planet would leave no oxygen behind for our heroes to live. Certainly not for Madi at any rate, who we can not possibly believe was in some sort of air-tight bunker. Madi and likely Clarke should be dead from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

And look at these dense clouds of smoke — how on earth (literally) is a plant supposed to grow without access to sunlight?

… I probably shouldn’t be adding questions to my own ask…

But quite frankly, the impacts of the nuclear plant meltdowns as portrayed in the show just do not fit in the hard end of Mohs Scale of Science Fiction.

I’m sure the writers will tell us something about how the half-life of the radiation will come down quickly thanks to some sort of 22nd Century invention. But for what we understand at the moment, the death wave and its impacts are a bit beyond reasonable.

Or at least that’s my response - I’d love to hear otherwise from someone who specializes in physics. Perhaps there is something I am not considering here, such as the energy caused by cascading breakdowns of molecules and what that means as they coalesce later.

Anyways… I hope this helps. I’m personally putting most of the death wave’s physical properties in a box of “Sci-Fi Fun”. The rest is much more reasonable to consider.

ALKALINITY vs. ACIDITY

PH (Potential Hydrogen) is a system used to measure levels of Acidity/Alkalinity in water soluble substances. Being that Humans are made up of about 70% water, PH is a very effective way to measure and regulate the overall quality of metabolic bodily functions in Humans, which is crucial to our Vitality.

The PH scale measures Acidity and Alkalinity on a range from 0 to 14, with 7 (Tap Water) being neutral right in the middle. The lower 0-6 range being Acidic mucus forming (Pork, Vinegar, Beef, Soda, Pasta, Coffee, Milk) and the higher 7-14 range being Alkaline mucus fighting (Spinach, Cucumbers, Lemons, Grapes, Carrots, Mangos, Avocados, Melons).

Human beings have a blood type that should always remain balanced right between 7 and 8 on the PH scale to maintain optimal health & performance. Once you allow the PH in your blood to start ranging below 7, your body will start to become Acidic (Metabolic Acidosis) and will generate excess amounts of “Mucus” throughout your body to neutralize that acidity. It’s a natural defense response by your body, similar to the way you sweat when your body gets hot. Have you ever noticed when you get sick that you become congested in your Lungs, Chest, and Head ? You’re nose starts running, your lungs and throat may feel irritated, maybe even a cough. That is Mucus being released by mucus membranes inside of your body in a natural effort to protect you from Acidity. If human blood becomes completely Acidic, death is Certain.

“Many people don’t realize that illness is more often than not, simply just a Reaction, and is surely preventable.”

Once Mucus starts forming in your body, your body will work to eliminate that mucus out through any eliminating organ available. (Liver, Kidneys, Lungs, Intestines, Skin). Over time, this mucus will cause Stagnation or “Constipation” in those certain areas of your body where elimination is taking place, mainly your Filtering systems (Kidneys, Liver, Lymphatic, Immune) All of these systems in your body are designed to flush out Toxins to keep your engine running smoothly. Just like a motor vehicle, you must maintain these functioning parts to avoid corrosion, and ultimately serious malfunction.

When we constantly put our body in an Acidic environment by consuming Mucus forming foods, we begin to create Stagnation or Constipation (Mucus Build Up, or Blockage) throughout the body, and that is when we start experiencing complications in Health: Dis-ease, illness, cancer, even what are known as “Globulations” a term used for Growths or mucus build up also known as Tumors, Cysts, etc.

When you get sick, experience dis-ease, tumors, pimples, hair loss, even joint problems or digestive issues, these are all reactions of what you are exposing your body to on the interior, and exterior. These are all signs that your body is becoming acidic, and is attempting to flush out Toxins that have entered, or have generated inside of your body.

“If you are sick, the last thing you want to do is eat mucus forming foods; Eggs, cheese, coffee. I would suggest a good 16 hour Fast, or a strict Alkaline diet for 48 hours. A lot of lemons and limes, cucumbers are good too.”

The absolute best way to avoid Mucus build up, Stagnation, and Dis-ease in your body is to always try to keep the PH in your blood balanced more toward the Alkaline side of the spectrum. The best thhing you can do to achieve this is to avoid eating Acidic foods as much as possible, and try to incorporate more Alkaline foods into your daily eating habits.

They say ideally that humans should be consuming a balanced diet of less than 20% Acidic Foods, and 80% Alkaline foods, but personally I recommend a Whole Foods, Plant Based Diet to everyone I work with because of the endless benefits you will experience internally and externally. From better digestion & colon health, optimal circulation and heart health, clearer skin, healthier hair and nails, even mental clarity, improved mood, and confidence! All just from avoiding mucus forming foods.

There was once a brilliant doctor named Arnold Ehret who came up with the “Equation of Life” V=P-O (Vitality=Power-Obstruction) Vitality being life, Power being health, and Obstruction being Mucus Constipation.

What if I told you that YOU have all of the resources necessary to take complete control of your own health, never get sick, and almost completely eliminate your medical dependencies with your doctor? With better choices, self-discipline, and more control, you can achieve complete Vitality on your own.

A Plant Based diet is the ideal diet for Homo Sapiens, comprised almost entirely of foods that are Non Mucus Forming, and foods that promote Alkalinity & Neutralize acidity ! Another VERY effective way to Detox your body and regenerate damaged cells, is by allowing your body to completely empty itself out or what’s known as “Fasting”! We will discuss that in our Next lesson. You can find a general PH Chart with Food List on our blog PlantBasedNM.tumblr.com

We also have a great Alkaline Water recipe on our Instagram that you can make right at home. Instagram: @plantbasednm

8 Principles of A Healthy Lifestyle

Eating Right: Eight Principles that Can Transform Your Life

The benefits of a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle can save your life. There are so many positive reasons to change the way you eat. You will lose body fat, increase your energy, lower your risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, have more energy, have a better sex life-all true and attainable by following 8 simple principles:

1. Eating whole unprocessed foods provides an abundance of nutrients that strengthens our body’s immune system and protect us from chemicals in the environment. Reducing the risks of degenerative diseases, will save us money, now and in the long run. Just think –if you are not sick you do not need medications, frequent doctor visits, hospital stays, etc.

2. Vitamin supplements are not the answer for good health-eating good food is! Vitamins can be beneficial in certain instances, but they can never take the place of eating , fresh organic whole foods that contain not only the vitamin/mineral of the specific supplement in the bottle, but hundreds to thousands of nutrients that work together synergistically to support the human body.

3. There are virtually no nutrients in animal foods that are not supplied more healthfully in plant based foods. Plant foods contain fiber for healthy colon, animal products do not. Plant foods contain dramatically more anti-oxidants than animal foods. Plant foods are either absent or very low in cholesterol and for the most part fat. Animal foods cannot make that claim. There are those who state that plant based foods contain little if any vitamin B12, versus animal foods that contain much higher levels. According to Dr. Colin Campbell, author of “The China Study” states that American’s contain a 3 year supply of vitamin B12. It is very easy to add a supplement of vitamin B12 to assure yourself of maintaining healthy levels of this important vitamin.

4. Genes alone do not determine whether or not you will develop disease-especially cancer! One in three Americans according to the American Cancer Society will develop cancer in their lifetime. According to current projections by the National Institute of Health, cancer will soon surpass heart disease as the number one killer in the United States. The “war” on cancer has it had been coined by President Richard Nixon in 1971 has for the most part been an abject failure. There is great news however-instead of trying to find a specific gene to “shut it off”, as many cancer researchers are doing today, we could just never turn it on. The research from The China Study clearly demonstrates cancer genes that are not expressed [not actually cancer cells], can remain biochemically dormant in the absence of animal proteins-specifically casein [from dairy products]. And in the case where the cancer genes have developed into cancer-the cancer can be reversed with a chance to a plant based diet.

There are several excellent books to help individuals in understanding cancer and taking ownership of the disease instead of putting their lives in the hands of oncologists –who will use the standard treatments of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and then expensive drugs with many side-effects.

Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life, by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, MD, Foods that Fight Cancer: Preventing Cancer through Diet by Dr. Richard Beliveau, MD, and of course The China Study, By Dr. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.

5. We are all exposed to noxious chemicals-in the workplace and there is the potential to face them daily in our homes. Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of these chemicals. We may not be able to avoid exposure to chemicals that can damage the normal genes in our body turning them into cancer genes, however through a diet rich in anti-oxidants derived from a plant-based diet we can keep these damaged “cancer” genes dormant for our entire lives by eating whole foods [fruits, vegetables, whole unprocessed grains, beans, seeds, nuts, legumes].

6. Chronic disease does not happen over-night. Quite simply one hamburger or batch of chicken wings will not cause a heart attack. However daily doses of artery clogging animal fat over time will cause the dreaded diseases that cut short millions of Americans lives pre-maturely. In The China Study, Dr. Campbell has demonstrated that the same good plant-based nutrition that can prevent disease in its early stages [before diagnosis] can also halt or reverse disease in its later stages [after diagnosis] by switching to a plant-based diet. One of the most profound discoveries associated with a change in diet is in the area of auto-immune diseases.

How Vitamin D Aids Weight Loss

Vitamin D is known to help strengthen your bones and immunity. But new findings show that its deficiency is related to obesity or weight gain (1). Many dieters find it difficult to lose weight even when they are on a strict diet and workout regularly. If you are also in the same boat, check your vitamin D levels. And if they are low, you can either take vitamin D supplements, go for early morning walks, or consume foods rich in vitamin D. In this article, you will find all about vitamin D and weight gain, vitamin D supplement dosage, and vitamin D-rich foods. Swipe up!

What Is Vitamin D?

Shutterstock

Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin because it is synthesized when your body is exposed to sunlight. It is a fat-soluble vitamin, is stored in the fat cells, and helps in maintaining a healthy weight.

The major forms of vitamin D are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (calciferol). Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the human skin when exposed to the sun. Vitamin D2 is added to foods and is man-made (2).

Vitamin D facilitates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby helping in the maintenance of strong bones (3). It also helps strengthen the immune system (4). Unfortunately, a study reported that about 50% of the world’s population is deficient in vitamin D due to lack of outdoor activity, poor lifestyle choices, environmental factors, etc. (5). So, how does vitamin D deficiency lead to obesity? Find out next.

How Is Vitamin D Deficiency Related To Weight Gain?

Shutterstock

The link between obesity and vitamin D deficiency is still in its nascent stage. But there are enough studies to hypothesize that obese individuals are vitamin D deficient and vice versa. Let’s get to the science behind it.

A review article by Brazilian scientists found that vitamin D deficiency was 35% higher in obese individuals and 24% higher in overweight individuals (6).

In another study, the scientists randomly selected obese and overweight women and gave them either a placebo or 1000 IU vitamin D supplement. Researchers found that women who were supplemented with vitamin D showed a significant reduction in body fat mass (7).

In another study on Ethiopian children, the scientists also found that less exposure to sunlight led to vitamin D deficiency, which then affected the body fat mass of the children. Obese and overweight children were found to be deficient in vitamin D (8).

So, it is clear that obese or overweight people tend to be vitamin D deficient due to lack of sun exposure or less intake of foods that are rich in vitamin D. However, more concrete studies are required to confirm the exact mechanism of how vitamin D deficiency leads to obesity.

But will increasing vitamin D consumption or synthesis in the body lead to weight loss? Scroll down to find out.

Do Higher Levels Of Vitamin D Lead To Weight Loss?

Shutterstock

Several studies have been conducted to find out if increasing the levels of vitamin D could lead to weight loss. American scientists studied the effect of vitamin D supplementation on senior women. They found that women who were on more than or equal to 30 ng/mL of vitamin D had a lower weight as compared to the women who were on a lower dose (9).

Researchers from Tehran University of Medical Sciences conducted an experiment on healthy and obese women. They were divided into two groups – one group was on vitamin D supplement, and the other on placebo. After 12 weeks, the scientists found a significant reduction in body fat mass in obese women just by increasing vitamin D concentrations (10).

So, yes, if you can manage to get vitamin D into your system, you will increase your chances of losing weight. But how? Here are three great options.

Ways To Increase Vitamin D Levels For Weight Loss

Sun Exposure

Sun exposure is very important if you want to increase vitamin D levels in your body. Get up early in the morning (5 a.m. – 6.30 a.m.) and go for a walk or jog. The fresh air will help heal your body and keep you fit. Sun exposure after 8 a.m. can be dangerous, and you should apply sunscreen to prevent skin damage.

Vitamin D Supplement

If you cannot go for a walk early in the morning, you must consider taking vitamin D supplements. You will start seeing a significant change in your energy levels, feel less fatigued, and have better sleep and memory. However, talk to your doctor before taking vitamin D supplements.

Vitamin D-Rich Foods

This is actually the second best option to increase your vitamin D levels. There are various foods that are rich in vitamin D and should be included in your daily diet. Check out the following list of vitamin D-rich foods.

10 Foods Rich In Vitamin D

1. Milk

Shutterstock

Full-fat cow milk is an excellent source of vitamin D and calcium. And it’s a known fact that both vitamin D and calcium help build strong bones. One cup of milk offers 98 IU or about 24% of Daily Value. Make sure you have at least one glass of milk either in the morning or before going to bed every day.

2. Cod Liver Oil

Shutterstock

Cod liver oil is a popular supplement that is rich in omega-3-fatty acids. But it is also a good source of vitamin D. One teaspoon of the oil will provide you with 440 IU or 100% DV. So, talk to your doctor/pharmacist and start taking cod liver oil.

3. Salmon And Mackerel

Shutterstock

Good news for fish eaters/lovers. Salmon and mackerel are not only lean meat and high in omega-3s but also rich sources of vitamin D. In fact, 3 oz salmon contains more than the daily value. Wild-caught salmon offers 247% of the recommended DV, and canned salmon contains 100% DV. Also, 3 oz mackerel contains 400 IU or 100 % DV. Make sure you bake these fish instead of frying or grilling them.

4. Almonds

Shutterstock

Almonds are healthy nuts that are loaded with omega-3s, protein, calcium, and vitamin D. And 1 oz almonds contain 7% DV. Unsalted almonds are best for weight loss. You can easily include them in your breakfast bowl, salads, shakes, and protein bars.

5. Yogurt

Shutterstock

Yogurt is another good source of calcium and vitamin D. Plus, it is loaded with good gut bacteria that aid digestion. So, yogurt is a must for you if you are suffering from gut problems and are overweight. One cup of yogurt contains about 80 IU and 20% DV. Make yogurt dressing or add it to your breakfast bowl or shakes to get your daily dose of vitamin D.

6. Eggs

Shutterstock

Egg yolk is rich in fat-soluble vitamins. And vitamin D is one of them. One large egg contains 10% DV. This percent might seem low, but there are other essential fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins and proteins in the egg that aid weight loss and boost body functions. This is precisely the reason you should not completely avoid consuming egg yolk. It is safe to consume two egg yolks per day. You may avoid it if your cholesterol levels are dangerously high. Make egg salad, frittata, or sunny side up.

7. Tuna, Sardine, And Herring

Shutterstock

Tuna, sardine, and herring are also great sources of vitamin D. Three ounces of tuna provide 57% DV, 3 ounces of sardine provide 41% DV, and 3.5 ounces of Atlantic herring provide about 100% DV. Remember, your method of cooking also determines the vitamin D content of these fish. Bake them instead of frying or grilling to get the most vitamin D. Make a yummy salad, sandwich or stew for lunch or dinner with these fish.

8.Shrimp

Shutterstock

Like other seafood, shrimps are also a good source of vitamin D. A serving of shrimp contains 40 % DV and provides about 162 IU. However, shrimps are also high in cholesterol. So, avoid them if your cholesterol levels are high, and your doctor prohibits shrimp consumption. You can add shrimps to pho, soups, curries, and salads.

9. Vitamin D Fortified Foods

Shutterstock

Some juices, soy milk, yogurt, milk, and breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamin D. Consuming these will improve your body’s vitamin D levels significantly. You can use them instead of the regular yogurt, milk, or juice. Be careful with the calories you consume in breakfast cereals.

10. Mushroom

Shutterstock

Mushrooms are a great source of protein and are also rich in vitamin D. Depending on the type, a cup of mushroom provides up to 890 IU. In fact, mushrooms that are exposed to the sun for a few hours have greater vitamin D content (11). Add mushrooms to your soup, salad, stews, or savory bread.

These are the best food sources of vitamin D. If you have been feeling lethargic and depressed all the time, your joints hurt, you have gained weight quickly, and keep falling sick, you are probably suffering from vitamin D deficiency. Talk to your doctor today and start taking vitamin D-rich foods and supplements, or get at least 10 minutes of early morning sun exposure. You will not only lose weight but also be healthy. Take care!
