In a Nutshell
Cancer is best countered through aggressive immune support and prevention rather than waiting for recurrence. Osteoporosis in older women is best managed with weight-bearing exercise, bone-building minerals, collagen, and vibration plates, not calcium carbonate. SIFO and SIBO are treated by eliminating all sugar and starches, practicing one-meal-a-day fasting, and using tudka twice daily on an empty stomach. MAC lung disease requires immune-building strategies and possibly high-dose vitamin D under specialist guidance rather than defaulting to antibiotics. Tudka is water-soluble, crosses the blood-brain barrier, and offers systemic benefits unrelated to fat digestion. Sleep apnea raises stroke risk. SIBO causes post-meal bloating and nutrient competition. Excess refined carbs are the primary driver of high LDL. Standard niacin (B3) at 250-500 mg daily provides the same NAD-boosting and HDL-raising benefits as expensive NMN products.

Research all videos on cancer to start designing life around prevention and staying super healthy. This is the way to counter it because unfortunately this cancer tends to keep coming back over and over again. Keep the immune system super healthy and actively and aggressively prevent it. Don't wait for it to happen, but do things to counter it.
Aside from D3 and K2, do not take calcium carbonate. There are certain types of calcium that are more bone building. Get calcium from taking bone supplements. Magnesium is super important in bone. Trace minerals are important. High quality protein and collagen are super important in bone. All of those things with weight bearing exercises are going to be what you need to do. There is data that shows those standing on vibration plates are very beneficial to counter osteoporosis.
Not too long ago, they changed the normals for osteoporosis and instantly put millions of people in the state of having osteopenia or osteoporosis just by changing what normal is. Not convinced that those values are correct. Especially as you get past menopause, need to be doing weight bearing exercises. Slowly work into it.
The same approach as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Stop snacking. Do intermittent fasting. Do one meal a day. This gives the system a chance to really reset. Microbes are growing in the wrong place. Fungus is overgrowing in the small intestine. Starve it by doing fasting. Cells can easily handle it, but they can't.
One food that has to be completely eliminated down to zero is sugar and starches. Bread, pasta, cereal, crackers, biscuits. That's what they live on. If you just starve them, they will die. Take tudka on empty stomach twice a day. Bile is anti-bacterial. There could be a problem with a lack of bile because bile is supposed to be released in the small intestine and then travel all through the small intestine down to the bottom part and get recycled just to make sure that those microbes can't grow in that environment.
Gina from Auburn, Alabama diagnosed with mycobacterium avium complex. Has no symptoms. Was diagnosed with nodules in lungs. Had mild symptoms for about two years from upper respiratory infection in January of 2024. Couldn't shake the side effects of the nasal. Has a cough for a couple of years. Has very progressed nodules, 10 millimeters and above size in both lungs. Has a bronchoscopy scheduled for next week.
Research this alternatively. The problem with research even with AI is it's going to look at randomized control trials. There are probably no alternatives that have randomized control trials. Look at ways of building the immune system. Are there other ways to shrink the cysts? Can you do high vitamin D and go that route? There's a filter on a lot of these search engines that will not let you find these alternatives. There are a lot of people trying things that actually work, just haven't been researched.
If you have to take antibiotics, build up friendly bacteria at the exact same time during the time you're taking antibiotics. Take microbes like probiotics at the exact same time. This is not going to add in any pathogenic effect. Very suspect of taking antibiotics in general because of what it does to the body. Ask what the side effect is. Is this going to cure me? Is it going to come back? What happens to my good bacteria? Why are these microbes creating these cysts?
Gina has been on all five diets for lung cancers for the past few weeks. Started taking 10,000 vitamin D and doing magnesium. Should up the vitamin D. There are only four doctors in the United States that have been trained by Dr. Kornbray. Find one of them and work with them remotely to help get the dosage right because you probably need a lot more. They can do the blood test or set up the blood test to make sure you're not having problems with this. There's a lot of other things as a part of that they can monitor to make sure you do it correctly.
98% of respondents correctly answered that tudka cannot help you digest fat. Tudka is very different than regular bile salts. It's mostly water soluble. It's not fat soluble, which means it's not something that's going to help you digest fats at all. Wouldn't want to take that after a meal to help fat digestion because it's not going to work.
Tudka is good for everything else. It can actually go systemically through the entire body, cross the blood-brain barrier, go into the eyes, go into the liver, go into the joints. It actually does help thin the body. It's really good for bile to prevent stones and in bile ducts. There are a lot of cool benefits. Watch the recent video on the difference between ox bile and tudka.
True or false: Sleep apnea can put you at risk for a stroke.
When you have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, you get bloating. That's the biggest symptom right after eating. Microbes in the small intestine create fermentation. Feel pregnant all the time when you eat. Feel better when you don't eat. Start showing signs of nutritional deficiencies eventually. Microbes compete for nutrients. They eat it and don't give it to you.
The single biggest factor in LDL is consuming excessive refined carbohydrates. Must lower that because the excess turns into triglycerides. That converts into a couple other things that ends up high LDL, the bad kind. Cut down refined sugars and start eating.
NMN boosts NAD on a cellular level and has benefits like anti-aging, slows down the aging process, boosts recovery from rigorous exercise, better sleep, and overall mitochondrial health. There are a lot of different new products coming out that are versions of typical just B3, niacin. One of the drug companies bought the rights for millions of dollars. They found the research was kind of iffy. All of these new fancy versions of niacin B3 may increase the absorption a little bit, but not worth the excess expense.
Can get very regular niacin pills that create the flush and get the benefits. There are some massive benefits for increasing HDL. Mitochondria needs various cofactors to allow things to create ATP. B3 is one of them. Also B2 and coenzyme Q10 and magnesium and copper. As people get older, B3 becomes more important. Take 500 milligram niacin each day if you don't mind the flush. If you don't like the flush, start off with 50 and then work up to 500. Some people are comfortable at 250.
