Post Surgery Brain Fog in Seniors - A possible quick fix

A study published earlier this year discovered that general anesthesia can increase the risk of dementia and the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease when it’s administered to the elderly – by as much as 15%. Researchers concluded that preoperative evaluations must be taken to determine whether they should even have general anesthesia.

Another study showed the percentage of developing dementia was actually much higher – 35%. Researchers note that some anesthetics might trigger inflammation of neural tissues that lead to cognitive decline. This decline may not be fully realized until several years after the anesthesia was administered. Could a drug used to help kids focus assist seniors in recovery from surgery, anesthesia and the dull drums associated with the ageing process?

Kombucha recipe

Kombucha recipe

You can make a Kombucha brew with sugar, tea and a culture (a symbiosis of bacteria and yeasts). Its taste can range from something similar to champagne (complete with a head of foam), a refreshing light wine through to strong apple cider vinegar, depending on the fermentation time, the amount of sugar and type of tea that you use in the brew. The older, tart tea is more acidic and has a higher level of healing properties than a young, mild and slightly sweet brew.

You need not be too concerned about using sugar in the recipe. In a strong, tart tea, brewed over 10-14 days, only 3% of the sugar remains. 97% of the sugar is consumed and converted by the culture.

I wrote this "short comment" below a YouTube video discussing Transcendental Meditation

Yes friends the Zimmermaniac has been meditating the Transcendental Meditation technique for 41 years. It has saved my life and made me whole.  Not just pretty words!  At age sixteen I was a colossal mess. A typical Greenwich Connecticut fuck-faced narcissistic self deceptive jerk.  I was a materialistic, status seeking, money grubbing, republican racist with stress levels reaching that of Mad Men on a deadline.  I was deeply traumatized by familial indifference, and incapacity to love even though they desperately wanted to.  Victorian values slammed our home with propriety, perfectionism and workaholic alcoholism to destructive levels. To any on-looker our family seemed just fine.  But it was not and I was on a fast track to very dark things. This is my T.M. story.

___________

You know kids, knowledge only comes with study, but a technique like T.M. requires no study and sets us up to assimilate what view and learn to see more broadly into the connections between what is leaned and what we already know. T.M. expands the awareness of the entire mind. We literally see, witness and absorb more from our senses. Colors are brighter, patterns are sharper. It's like getting a hi definition TV upgrade. T.M. occasionally has a down-side that is not politically correct to discuss. One, in my educated opinion, must take a break from T.M. after a year or so. It is very powerful and can create depression and anxiety conditions by entering the Absolute too often. Each individual can evolve only as much as his or her mind will allow. If we push the mind/soul too hard with too much T.M. it can create neurosis, depression and anxiety conditions. However it does not mean T.M. becomes useless. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Veganism Sucks

7 Things That Are LIkely To Happen When You Stop Eating Meat

When I gave up meat in 2009 to do the Gerson Therapy for seventeen really fucked up health issues I had no idea what I was in for. I did not get the skyrocketing energy levels promised, I did not get the not so painless weight loss promised and ironically I did not get the "newly found feeling of joy and happiness" as is reported by so many new Vegans. They say that these are just some of the things you experience (read about it) but the benefits, as fucking strange as it may sound are sadly undeniable.

Making Vitamin K2 at Home. Naturally.

From Dr. Mercola.com: How Much Vitamin K2 Should You Consume?

You can obtain all of the vitamin K2 you need (about 200 micrograms) by eating 15 grams of natto daily, which is half an ounce. It's a small amount and very inexpensive, but many Westerners do not enjoy the taste and texture.

If you don't care for the taste of natto, the next best thing is a high-quality K2 supplement. Remember, you must always take your vitamin K supplement with fat since it is fat-soluble and won't be absorbed without it.Although the exact dosing is yet to be determined, Dr. Vermeer recommends between 45 mcg and 185 mcg daily for adults. You must use caution on the higher doses if you take anticoagulants, but if you are generally healthy and not on these types of medications, I suggest 150 mcg daily.

Making Natto at home in a nut shell.

It is not that difficult to successfully home brew Natto once you understand the absolute minimum requirements.
Temperature – This is the most critical factor in making Natto and any fermenter will probably agree. During the fermentation cycle, the temperature of Natto should be kept in the range between 38 – 45 C (100-113 degrees F). While many “How To” documents says around 40 (104 F), it is OK to keep it higher. Important is not to get below 38 degrees. However, if you keep it too high (more than 45 C), your Natto will be less sticky.
Time – Fermentation process should take approximately 24 hours. However, this is definitely experimental. I have tried to brew it for up to 48 hours and it all worked with slightly different results.
Aging – While you can eat the beans any time, for the better experience, age Natto for at least 24 hours in the fridge.
Soybeans – Use organic and Non GMO soybeans. Actually, this should be the number one rule and I think you know why.
Natto-kin (Starter) – Make sure that you have very active Natto-kin available.

Bergman takes the fear out of cancer (It just does not get better than this)

Dr. John Bergman delivers an epic talk on cancer.  He educates, and gives perspective on this very misunderstood thing called "cancer."  Called the "C-word," Americans have been conditioned to fear cancer as though it were some kind of terminal disease!  Well I'm waiting for that smirk of WTF on  your face.  Ahhh... there it is.  Well cancer isn't some kind of terminal disease.  What's terminal is your immune system ALLOWING cancer cells to go rogue.  We all have cancer in our bodies, and most folks over 50 have tumors somewhere in their body but a healthy immune system keeps it all in check.  So don't think of cancer as the enemy or something that you have to fight, beat or kill.  Cancer cells are part of our internal landscape without which we would be very unnatural biological entities. While they never may become your best friends thinking of cancer cells to be unusual or slightly different neighbors that need to be watched might be a better approach.  Check out John in this excellent video.

Be New by Being True to the Present Moment

by guest writer and author Guy Finley

Key Lesson: Starting life over begins with bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

Free Yourself from the Tyranny of the Past

Our task, if we want to be free human beings -- if we want a life in which we no longer carry around with us "what he did," "what she didn't do," "what never worked out" -- begins with discovering that there can be no real freedom for us until we understand the nature of the tyranny of the past that still lives within us. One of the main areas of this unchallenged dictatorship that still holds us captive is our inability to forgive.

Text Not Lest Ye Be Judged

After a recent rather disturbing instant message exchange on Facebook I've decided to give text based public sharing of most controversial ideas and thoughts especially political thoughts a permanent rest. I'm also considering closing my Facebook account for the same reasons. Personal thoughts and daily activities posted on facebook are not phone calls face to face visits and can not substitute general friendship or affection.

Political views flung into public forums as posts or text messages are not discussions. Rather they are statements or perhaps even declarations. Words that lack 90% or more of what interpersonal communication is. And yet people assign 100% value to them and take them seriously and react with judgment often very harshly without having a clue as to the origins of the idea in question. This can damage more than relationships. It can damage society and threaten the cohesiveness of the social order.

Regarding The Consumption of Factory Farmed Meats Fish. A commentary on a Time Magazine Article from 2014

Credit: Time Magazine reprint for educational purposes. Commentary in bold.
May 13, 2014

Like it or not, you're a carnivore. (wrong: Humans are omnivores) You can eat meat or you can pass it up, but either way, spare yourself any moral agony (remain deluded and in denial) — a new study confirms our brains are hardwired to justify such decisions to ourselves. Clever release from responsibility to the realities of factory farming and mass cruelty.

If a cow could eat you, it would. It wouldn’t give a hoot about your feelings. It wouldn’t kill you quickly or humanely and it certainly wouldn’t worry about whether it was right to make a meal of you in the first place. It would ask itself one question: Am I hungry? If the answer was yes, you’d be lunch. Another subtle justification for factory farming of cows?

The Zimmermann Depression Annihilator

I've used this method to bust depressions of the worst kind.  Often a helper is required to keep you on schedule and to complete the process.  But this process works and it sticks.  Depression does not return after this process.  I had tried hundreds perhaps thousands of solutions over the years but this is my secret weapon.  It works every time.
Antidepressant drugs can't hold a candle to this therapy.
Do this daily and say goodbye to depression.

The Zimmermann Depression Annihilator:

For Major Depression and Dysthymic Disorder

"No depressive episode can stand up to the unbridled power of the ice cold shower"

                                                           Bill Zimmermann             

Step 1. Prepare Gerson coffee cleanse solution. Get into a cold shower (or start briefly in a warm shower and move to cold as soon as possible.  Hold for at least one minute or stop when you are completely comfortable with the cold water flowing over your body.  For added intensity place a bucket of ice cubes in the bath water that accumulates from the shower. Soak in ice water in tub with added magnesium salts or Epsom salts 2 cups (magnesium) for 5 minutes until you're shaking with cold.  This breaks the back of any depression in minutes. 

A HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE - Norwegian Explains Why We Need Bernie Sanders

I simply had to include this on Zimmermania Health because it is so imperative that Americans begin to see that we have SO much room for improvement!  We can do better.  Check out what this guy from Norway (currently No 1 economy in the world) has to say.

Andreas Fossåen Dybfest from Norway explains why we need Bernie:

I'm gonna drop a bomb of reality on the sceptics amongst my American friends here...

I'm Norwegian and I live in a social democracy.
We have BOTH capitalistic values and socialistic values.
In fact, for a social democracy to work, we need both.
Capitalism builds wealth, while socialism distributes the wealth so as many as possible have a higher education and good health; which leads to better capitalism and bigger economy.

Everything Bernie Sanders presents to you, is my reality.
Our good values have been fought through by people like Bernie Sanders. And many have been inspired by your very own Franklin D. Roosevelt!

I pay ~26% tax(cap on 28%), for that I get: Free health-care
Free education
Bigger tax refunds the more loan I have in the bank
8 hour working days
5 weeks paid vacation
A decent pension fund
The lower income I have, the lower tax I pay
Parents pay less.
A mother gets 46 weeks of maternity leave, where the father can take out 10 weeks if he wants to. This strengthen the bond with the baby and it's very important for kids’ mental health and development.

Norway is at the top of UN’s Human Development Index and Education Index. We also rank best in the world on child poverty.
We've ranked #1 in prosperity for 12 years.
Our neighbour Denmark is #1 in business.
We must be doing something right...
(We actually got our biggest wealth, thanks to you).

If socialism gets too much power, you can say it becomes communism and if capitalism gets too much power, it becomes plutocracy/oligarchy. The key is balance. Right now we're on the right-winged side and I fear we're walking the same path as you have done...

Right now you're in the plutocracy/ oligarchy section, and a lot of great minds and achievers are stuck in poverty, with no chance of getting out. You already have socialism; but it's broken, expensive and ineffective.

The thought of the US as a social democracy, is breathtaking. The strength and progress you would achieve as a nation, with your population, would be amazing and lift the bar to a whole new dimension…
If you think because our population is a lot smaller, it can't be used on you; then you're wrong. Don't compare population numbers, compare percentages…
F.ex: If our population represent one of your major cities, use the model on all major cities...

Social democracy IS the modern democracy, because it represent a whole nation and not only a few rich getting richer. Not only do I think it will work for you as well, but with your current wealth and population, you would be the greatest social democracy in the world.

This is why you need Bernie Sanders, he is a strong leader with GREAT human ethics and morals
 If you're not a billionaire, you're ignorant to not vote him, because that man represents YOU!

It's not done in a day, but I don't live in a fantasy world...

Don't let this chance pass you USA, the movement is ENORMOUS, be proud of your middle-class

and VOTE!

Adaptogens Might Just Be Better Than Medicine

Adaptogens Might Just Be Better Than Medicine

Adaptogens were discovered by a Russian scientist in 1947, fully defined by two Russian doctors in 1958 and finally accepted by the US FDA in 1988. An adaptogen does three things. 1) It produces no negative side effects. 2) It effects more than one system of the body, such as the nervous system and hormone system. And 3) It balances body functions, such as raising blood sugar that is too low in one individual while lowering blood sugar in another individual where it is too high. Adaptogens help the body deal with stress.

In an earlier newsletter, I talked about the eight benefits of turmeric, which has been has valued in East Indian medicine for thousands of years. In this newsletter, I'd like to cover Indian ginseng, or ashwagandha, as it's more commonly known.

Here are some of its benefits.


1. Reduce stress

Adaptogens in general are known as stress reducers and ashwagandha certainly does this.

http://ijpm.info/article.asp?issn=0253-7176;year=2012;volume=34;issue=3;spage=255;epage=262;aulast=Chandrasekhar

2. Rejuvenate the immune system

Ashwagandha has been used for hundreds of years to improve the immune system and modern research is verifying this.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19628058

3. Prevent and combat age-related chronic diseases

Ashwagandha "possesses a wide array of therapeutic properties including anti-arthritic, anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and [heart protective]." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25787309

4. Improve brain function and prevents Alzheimer's Disease

In addition to preventing and combating other age-related diseases, ashwagandha has been used to sharpen mental facilities and combat neuro-degeneration.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24882401

5. Depression

Spirit Science YouTube Channel

Spirit Science is a YouTube Channel that is refreshing clear and a very good study of the modern science of spirituality.  Here are all 15 videos in one.  Over four hours of cools spiritual theory about human origins ...science?  Maybe.  Fun?  Hell yes. Some may be quite "woo-woo" to some of you but more of what you will learn isn't. Enjoy.

Political rant...

Confidence in our leadership has a great deal to do with how we feel about our lives.  Humans are pack animals in a way that we choose leaders and expect them to provide for the greater good.  How we choose them and what kind of results they provide is integral to the social order and overall well being of nations.

When reviewing the presidential electoral process for 2017 we are astounded to watch a large percentage of the American public fall down a seriously disturbing rabbit hole.  Why on earth should we find ourselves with the highest concentration of ignorance ever recorded in American history staring us in the face  - to suffocating degrees - as the public moves to support men like Donald Trump in his pursuit for the presidency?  It inspires one to believe that we have slipped into an fictional alternate universe somewhere between Tunderdome and an all-out zombie uprising.  And to think after all the alleged rise in consciousness reported by "love and light" spiritualists meditators and Law of Attraction people then why one earth would any percentage of American public vote for an imbecile as tawdry and as indecent as this ghastly Donald Trump character? What does this tell us about the U.S.? Is this a country of horrible people of what?  Are we now suddenly a huge vat of stupid people or just very scared, extremely frustrated dumbed-down people who have watched so much TV they can't distinguish between reality and fantasy?

Well, these are troubling times, and when I last checked we were not all that serious about electing the absolute least among us in an election that in some respects resembles an episode of the Jersey Shore more than a serious effort to appoint a qualified person that we can trust to lead a free world.  It quickly becomes sad when the reality of where power really comes from in this country and the unfairness of it all really hits home. How much our country is "sold and owned" and how quickly we may lose it on yet unimagined levels because of poor choices (translation "NO CHOICES") between one insane politician and another ready willing and able to pillage the office for their own personal gain.

So many Americans are moving past hate, object fetishism (materialism) and are living extraordinary lives as the humans they hoped they would become. I can only hope I am one of them. But the government does not follow. Politicians do not grow spiritually ...at all. They do not evolve.  They do not grow. They are trapped in endless cycles of strategic planning, treachery deceit and corruption that is utterly and completely inescapable for them. No one escapes this.  It is why evolving men and women avoid politics and leave the dirty work to people like Trump and Clinton. As long as good people choose to avoid the pain of participation in the political system we will remain trapped in the status-quo system that is driving us off the cliff on so many levels that we may not expect our children to live, let alone live happy productive "evolved" lives. Evolving spiritual people are advancing rapidly into undreamed of realms of quantum healing, advanced intuition and into the furthest reaches of human spiritual potential.  Their interests have no representation in government. As long as people accept a government that attracts the very least among us we are in great danger. However in between all the insanity has emerged one ray of hope.  Bernie Sanders.  Where he came from and how he got here appears to be a blessing of such magnitude that it is almost incomprehensible that anybody would see him as anything short of a godsend.   Why a widely respected 74 year old Senator would run for the President of the United States at a time when he might want to start enjoying his family, travel and get comfortable this man nine years past retirement age has gripped the hearts and the hopes of so many people it is almost as strange a phenomenon as the other candidates but for very different reasons.

If we fail now our future and the future of our children are placed in jeopardy for generations to come. It appears to to be a terminal condition for our country and the planet. Should good people ignore politics and simply move forward outside the political system; to just keep going as the power structure keeps taking more and more of our rights our access to prosperity and to a healthy environment we are forced to confront a political monster so evil that no one person can survive it let alone operate within it without losing their soul. So what do we do? Leave the country? Take refuge in suicide? Give them the depopulation they want? Frankly I don't want to live in a country that is run by Donald Trump. I can barely stand the idea of living in a country run by Hillary Clinton. The shame that is the United States leaves me haunted with a strange emptiness where some kind of patriotism once lived.


I can not rally behind false leaders or pathological liars any more. At sixty years old I pity the generations to come. I pity those who hide in denial, dangerous illusions and self deception. I pity people who think they are strong but are weak. And I am sad for the children of today who will grow up with bullies as their role models. Masses of boys and girls educated in public schools - ever more dumbed down by a culture who is not their friend. They will never know what it is to be fully human or the potential therein. And they will never know how great this country might have been if only it's leaders were sane human beings. When the pathology of politics guarantees that sociopaths will lead a painfully submissive public so terribly used to and drunk on decades of conditioning and lies propelled by designed psychological control mechanisms (that would make Edward Bernays cringe) good people of sound mind must take pause to reflect on what it is that we have become. What will become of a country whose public is so easily duped, that is so sick of mind as to place their sovereign human rights that hundreds of millions of people worked and died for. To place the trust of generations of people who lived and died in hardship to give us this fine nation and then to place it into the slimy hands of people like Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is so incomprehensible that it may be time to leave this place we have called home. I believe it is intellectually justifiable to say that the heart and soul of America is already gone and that what we are witnessing is the final death throws of this allegedly once great nation.
