   Dr. Mary Newport’s husband Steven’s Alzheimer symptoms were greatly alleviated with consumption of coconut oil, but he did pass early this year: http://www.coconutketones.com

   Thought you’d want to know that whoever posts your shows to iTunes for Friday’s shows usually messes up and it never comes down into iTunes. Also you mark some shows that are two hours long as both hr.1. How are we to know which one really is first? Please slow down and take better care.

   With that, THANKS! :-)

   Regarding Hongchi Xiao slapping and bruising… I wonder if those who easily bruise are actually deficient in bioflavinoids. It might be something to ask one of the monthly health experts such as Stephen Heuer, Tony Pantalleresco, etc…
   Dr. Mercola has this to say about easy bruising: 9 Reasons You May Bruise Easily – http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/05/11/bruising-easily.aspx – …”Rutin is a bioflavonoid known to strengthen blood vessels. For this reason, it’s often used for varicose veins and hemorrhoids, as well as bruising. In fact, a deficiency of bioflavonoids may allow blood vessels to break easier, which is why, if you bruise easily, you would likely benefit from taking rutin.”… more from link above.
   PS: I’ve started the slapping and really like it – thanks so much for telling us about it.

   Regarding “nationalist versus a globalist” and illegal immigrants – most illegals from Mexico are here because they lost their livelihood due to NAFTA. The Mexican farmers could not compete with the low price of US corn – BILLIONS of dollars of *subsidized* US (GMO) corn being sold in Mexico. So NAFTA is largely responsible for the influx of illegals. This deal hurt both the small Mexican farmer AND the small American farmer. Big Ag corporations like ADM profited from it – see below:
   See: http://economyincrisis.org/content/illegal-immigration-and-nafta
   Illegal Immigration and NAFTA
   FEBRUARY 05, 2011 DUSTIN ENSINGER
   here are a few points from the article:
   “…Those out-of-work farmers make up the bulk of the illegal immigrants entering the U.S. each year. Unable to compete with their highly subsidized American competitors – $10 billion in 2000 alone – rural Mexican farmers have increasingly sought employment in the U.S…”
   “…In Chiapas, there was hardly any migration before NAFTA,” Suarez said, referring to Mexico’s southernmost state. “Farm laborers were even brought in from Guatemala. Now, more than 50,000 rural people from Chiapas go each year to the United States….”
   “… Since NAFTA was implemented, 38,000 small farms have been lost in the United States..”
   “…A mere 2 percent of farms in the United States control 50 percent of American agricultural sales…”
   “…While family farmer incomes have plummeted during the first 7 years of NAFTA, ADM’s profits went from $110 million to $301 million, while ConAgra’s grew from $143 million to $413 million. …”

   Q: Who profits from NAFTA?
   A: Big Agriculture.

   Food Security, Farming, and the WTO and CAFTA
   Corporate Consolidation

   … Since NAFTA was implemented, 38,000 small farms have been lost in the United States, and 11 percent of Canadian farms have gone bankrupt. A mere 2 percent of farms in the United States control 50 percent of American agricultural sales. Over 73 percent of the nation’s farms share less than 7 percent of the market value of agricultural products, while 7.2 percent of farms receive 72 percent of the market value of products sold. Eight-two percent of U.S. corn exports are controlled by three agribusiness firms- Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), and Zen Noh. While family farmer incomes have plummeted during the first 7 years of NAFTA, ADM’s profits went from $110 million to $301 million, while ConAgra’s grew from $143 million to $413 million. …
