This is an important Bill and has to be passed before end of August or it dies. The stats are available when you open the fact sheet. The health improvements for people who utilize these trails is almost at miracle levels. Problem is that there are very few trails per capita, and accessibility can be an issue. Please take a look and then contact your state Representatives and Senators. Thank you.
Here is what is on my mind–“It is entirely possible to stack the cards in your favor for a more comfortable pregnancy, easier birth, and smoother postnatal recovery. Here is the deal, Pregnancy isn’t easy! Studies show us that the energy expenditure of pregnancy is akin to running a 40 week marathon. They found that the highest metabolic rate humans can handle is 2.5 times their resting metabolic rate. During pregnancy we function at 2.2 times our resting metabolic rate…for months! So the first piece is to give yourself a little grace and know that you are doing a lot just growing that human being.” The article goes on to give good tips on how to accomplish the desired comfort level. Pathwaystofamilywellness.org. issue 81, pgs 32-37. Habits for a better pregnancy and an easier birth. by Lindsay McCoy. I also have pertinent info that can make this journey better. Who do you know who could benefit?
Give whatever you expect, Have great expectations, The more you expect the more you have to give…
Our values only become our real world when we walk the talk. When we fail to do that, people are left hearing one thing but seeing something quite different. What they see is their real world, and they respond accordingly.
You earn the right to expect others to do things by first doing those things yourself. If we wait for the other person to start, we lose control of our own destiny.
Vision without action is meaningless, and waiting is one thing we cannot afford to do. It is our individual behaviors and actions that, together, afford us the greatest opportunity to live our values and ensure our continued success.
You, we, (I am), are responsible for making it happen. Words to live by are just words, unless you live by them. People support what they help create. What gets reinforced gets repeated.

IT’s ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE,
in case you hadn’t noticed. The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
You are affected by your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back?
Your world today is an expression of choices you have made. It is something that you can change at any time.
You don’t have to remain a captive of your environment. Don’t say “If I could change, I would change,” say “I can change, and I will change.
I am changing.”
–Rick Seymour
Did you know that the Connecticut River, 410 miles long, is controlled by over 1000 dams on its main waterway, plus another 14 thousand dams slowing the waters of tributaries. This from Beaver Land by Leila Philip, telling the world of the beaver and its importance in our environment and economy from very early history to now. An amazing tail and a possible key to mitigate the flooding we are experiencing lately. Much of it is local to us.
Well, here we go: Non-Specific Effects of Inactivated Vaccines–from Well Being J., Vol 33, Spring 2024, p 5. (in 2 parts) based on data compiled from the past forty years, researchers found that common inactivated vaccines (e.g. influenza, hepatitis B, COVID-19, and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) may induce several adverse non-specific (NSEs) including increased female mortality and enhanced susceptibility to other infectious diseases. Of note, NSEs were determined by factors such as repeated vaccination, the type of vaccine used (live versus non-live), vaccination sequence, and antigen concentration in vaccines.
Study authors reported, “Live vaccines…elicit epigenetic alterations that train the innate immune system and increase immunity to unrelated infections. In opposition, non-live vaccines may promote ‘tolerance’ that increases susceptibility to unrelated illnesses.” [more in next post with resources and an extra resource]
pg. 2, finally. I took a busman’s holiday… more on Inactivated vaccines. “In the case of the inactivated COVID mRNA vaccine, for instance, the authors found that repeated inoculation may be associated with a higher mortality rate from unrelated diseases and infections by suppressing the immune system. ‘Since most COVID-19 vaccinated countries are reporting high percentages of excess mortality not directly attributable to deaths from such disease, the NSEs of mRNA vaccines on overall mortality should be studied in depth,’ authors concluded” “Considering inactivated vaccines are increasingly replacing the attenuated version, NSEs of vaccines raise important questions and merit further exploration in future vaccination programs.” -KG (NSE=non specific effects)from Well Being Journal, Vol 33, Spring 2024, quoting from Alberto Rubio-Casillas, et al. Do vaccines increase or decrease susceptibility to diseases other than those they protect against? Vaccine. 2023 Dec 28:S0264-410X(23)01506-2. Also, A Patricia Wodi, et al.

The relatively ignored subject of nutrition for men, and the increased value of it all, regarding fertility, is unfortunate. Obviously the male contributes half of the DNA. Why wouldn’t we want that contribution to be at optimum? So let’s get to it… We have previously introduced the Mediterranean Diet, the most researched of all of them. This is the Classic one, not the American, or individually made up one. That means lifestyle that includes daily physical activity, local foods, fresh, social eating, and a few other neat things. OK, a well rounded choice of fruits, vegetables, some meat, dairy, olive oil, and so on. 30 different veg/fruits per week is being talked about. Red wine, some others, in limited quantity (very limited), none is probably better. Minerals, vitamins, fish oil, are all important. Supplementation can be minimized with this lifestyle, and are available when advised. The quality, efficacy, safety of these vary drastically, within labels as within the industry. This is why you should work with a Certified Fertility Dietitian. I looked at some heavily advertised supplements today-Prenatal, etc. They were deficient in key nutrients, and expensive. Get the right stuff!!! Just because they say “Prenatal” doesn’t mean they are worth the investment. The continuing inability to become pregnant is also related 50% of the time to something going on with the prospective father-slow motility, low numbers of sperm, overweight, alcohol on board, lack of exercise, and more. Men are often resistant about seeking advice. It won’t hurt and may make an important person in your life very happy. Just do it. You can message me, no one else will know…
Exercise. What a 4 letter word. It’s only good for better sleep, digestion, blood flow to vital parts, increasing and maintaining muscle mass so you don’t fall, and after your 30’s helps prevent sarcopenia, ’cause without it you stand to lose >50% of your muscle mass by your 80’s. Since we are designed to swing through trees it may be encouraging to keep doing something like that. We are not designed to be sedentary. 30 minutes a day of some sweat producing activity, besides getting out of your chair and walking around about every 45 minutes. This doesn’t mean you are breathless and sore, it does mean that you are moving with intention and purpose. It will do a body good to be more active to get better results, especially for cruising through your middle and elder ages. It becomes a habit in your favor. If you have stopped for some reason, start. Reading Peter Attia will give you some great advice and purpose. If you are over 25 in BMI world, you know you have to get started, especially if you don’t want to collect things like diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and infertility. “NUff said. Call me, that’s a song. (messaging works, too)
