I work with a GP in Sheffield in my Ambassador role @PHCukorg and it is a struggle to get others to follow, even though the results are fantastic. @Sheffield_DUK

[Manisha Mishra @manishamishra24]

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

British sheep produce 70,000 tonnes of wool annually. Used for carpets, insulation, textiles, and traditional products.

The environmental alternative is petroleum-based synthetic fiber. Which is plastic. Made from oil. Non-biodegradable. Sheds microplastics in washing. Ends up in oceans.

But sheep are unsustainable and we should use more plastic instead.

The mental gymnastics required to call wool environmentally harmful while promoting polyester is Olympic-level.

Wool is renewable. Grows annually. Biodegradable. Carbon-neutral. Traditional craft. Insulates better than synthetics. Flame-resistant naturally. Lasts decades if cared for properly.

Polyester is fossil fuel. Requires industrial processing. Never biodegrades. Sheds microplastics. Inferior insulation. Needs chemical flame retardants. Lasts but damages environment entire time.

Yet environmental groups campaign against wool while wearing fleece jackets made from oil.

The sheep are not the problem. The people campaigning against them are.

Look at this fraud.

Flies half way around the world on a Jet, with a huge entourage, to stay in a 5 star hotel slurping champagne in a country where 30% live in poverty.

Then blurts this drivel about Climate?

"If you implement a diet which dramatically reduces the amount of carbohydrates, you can reverse type two diabetes... reverse hypertension... reduce depression and anxiety by 79%."

"Not within years, within weeks."

[Public Health Collaboration @PHCukorg]

In England, one in five children aged 10–11 is living with obesity.

If trends continue, more than 40% could be affected by 2035.

Early intervention is critical; it can prevent our children from facing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, mental health struggles, and poor self-esteem later in life.

It’s time to nourish and empower our children so they can build a healthier future.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Why Aren't We Talking About This? Clinical Trials Show Reversal of Diabetes, Hypertension, and Even Mental Illness in Weeks—Not Years—Through Diet Alone.

A medical revolution is being ignored, and it holds the key to reversing some of our most devastating chronic diseases.

As documented by investigative journalist Nina Teicholz, robust clinical trials—the gold standard for science—reveal a stunning truth: a diet dramatically low in carbohydrates can reverse chronic conditions in weeks, not years.

The data is staggering:
• Reverse Type 2 Diabetes: In the largest clinical trial, over 50% of participants reversed their T2D within 10 weeks, including those who had it for an average of eight years.

• Reverse Hypertension & Cardiovascular Risk: The vast majority of cardiovascular risk factors can be reversed.

• Transform Mental Health: Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder symptoms can be reversed. Depression and anxiety can be reduced by 79%.

This isn't speculative; it's proven. This knowledge has existed for a decade, yet it remains buried.

Consider this: 38 million Americans have Type 2 Diabetes. How many headlines have you read about reversing it with food? Now, think of the thousands of articles on drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

The silence on a nutritional cure is deafening—and it reveals the immense scale of the challenges we face in public health. This isn't just science; it's a testament to the power of food and a source of profound hope. The tools for healing are already on our plates.

This is NOT needed for illegal immigrants. We have passports for that.

This is NOT needed for employment. We have national insurance numbers for that.

This is NOT needed for rent. We have passports or driving licenses for that.

This IS needed to give government total control over every aspect of our lives 😡
