The secret to unlocking the benefits of curcumin

Posted on October 7, 2025 by | 3 comments

* Do our loved ones & friends KNOW ?

Note: Taken from The Daily Dose with Jack Harrison - 10/7/16

You do your best to get the nutrients your body needs. I know you do — you eat the ones you can, and pop a supplement for the rest.

But your work doesn’t end there, my friend.

It’s not just WHAT you take, but HOW you take it that matters most — and if you want the big-time disease-fighting benefits of curcumin, there’s a new study that you absolutely have to see.

This one explains why some folks get incredible health-boosting benefits from curcumin, while other folks don’t get squat.

Turns out, it’s not just bad luck.

In the study, folks were given either a placebo or curcumin, with some swallowing capsules and others dumping it into their food.

The ones who took the capsules didn’t see any changes at all… just like the ones who took a placebo.

But the folks who added it to their food saw incredible changes on a genetic level — including changes to the genes responsible for fighting off cancer, depression, asthma and eczema.

The researchers called it a “striking finding,” and that’s not all curcumin can do.

It also is a powerful inflammation-fighter… can protect the heart… and even helps you avoid dementia.

But it ONLY works if it can get inside your body. And if you simply swallow a capsule with a swig of water, it’s going to go in one end and out the other.

Curcumin is fat-soluble. It needs fat — it latches onto fat and rides it right into your bloodstream, and that’s why only the folks in the study who put it in their food saw those “striking” changes.

That’s how people in India get this stuff.

They don’t swallow capsules. They use turmeric — the spice that contains it — like it’s going out of style, dumping it into cream-based sauces such as their famous curries.

Then, they serve it up with fatty chicken thighs and lamb.

By combining the turmeric with those fats, they get so much curcumin that scans show their brains are actually discolored by the stuff!

That’s not a bad thing, by the way. That’s GOOD, since the more you get up there, the lower your risk of memory loss and even Alzheimer’s disease.

Obviously, you don’t have to eat curries if you don’t like the stuff (and, let’s face it, some of them are so hot they can leave you breathing fire for days).

But you DO want to get the benefits of curcumin — so if you plan to take a supplement, do it right. Take it with a meal that contains some fats.

Currying up,
Jack Harrison

Obama Administration Is Quietly Delaying Thousands of Deportation Cases

Obama Administration Is Quietly Delaying Thousands of Deportation Cases

The Obama administration is delaying deportation proceedings for recent immigrants in cities across the United States, allowing more than 56,000 of those who fled Central America since 2014 to remain in the country legally for several more years.

The shift, described in interviews with immigration lawyers, federal officials, and current and former judges, has been occurring without public attention for months. It amounts to an unannounced departure from the administration’s widely publicized pronouncements that cases tied to the so-called surge of 2014 would be rushed through the immigration courts in an effort to deter more Central Americans from entering the United States illegally.

The delayed cases are those of nearly half of the Central Americans who entered the United States as families since 2014, and close to a quarter of the total number of Central Americans who entered during that period, according to figures from the Justice Department.

The delays are being made as a cost-saving measure, federal officials said, because of a lapse in enforcement that allowed immigrants who were supposed to be enrolled in an electronic monitoring program to go free.

Some of those affected had failed to report to government offices to be fitted with GPS ankle bracelets, according to a February memo from the chief immigration judge, Print Maggard, in Arlington, Va.

“The whole thing is docket chaos,” said Paul Schmidt, who retired in June after a 30-year career working for federal immigration agencies, the last 13 years as an immigration judge.

It was not clear whether the immigrants’ failure to report was intentional or the result of unclear instructions. Deportations are carried out by two government agencies: the Department of Homeland Security, which arrests people charged with violating immigration laws, and the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a branch of the Justice Department that adjudicates deportations. It is common, lawyers and judges said, for immigrants who do not realize that the two agencies are distinct to betray their obligations out of confusion.

The Department of Homeland Security began using GPS ankle monitors in 2015 after determining that many recent immigrants were not appearing in court as required, said Sarah Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Officials at the agency acknowledged that immigrants whose cases were being delayed might also fail to appear.

Along with the cases being postponed, other cases are being catapulted forward, sometimes by years, onto the dockets of judges who were recently hired to address the immigration system’s backlog of cases, which has reached record levels. Yet even this attempt to speed things along, lawyers say, could lead to more delays.

“In all of these cases, I’m going to go into the court date and say, ‘I was not given any chance to say whether or not I was available, so you have to adjourn this,’” said Bryan S. Johnson, a private immigration lawyer in New York.

Many immigrants whose cases will now move faster and who would have sought pro bono counsel may also have to go to court unrepresented.

“We can’t take on someone else who is on a waiting list because someone we thought was going to be completed is now still our case for four years,” said Eleni Wolfe-Roubatis, the immigration program director at the Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland, Calif., a legal services agency for immigrants. She said dozens of her cases had been pushed to as late as 2020.

The immigrants affected by the delay are primarily families who entered the United States illegally since 2014, when record numbers of Central American migrants crossed the southern border, many seeking asylum status because of gang violence and lawlessness in their home countries.

Deportation proceedings for unaccompanied minors who entered the United States during that time are still being expedited.

Russia’s Nuclear Surge: Putin Adding Nukes While Obama Cuts

Posted on October 7, 2025 by | 2 comments

Should we be worried that Moscow deployed 429 more warheads than Washington? Why the number may be misleading—and Putin ditching other treaties may be scarier.

David Axe 10.07.16 12:00 AM ET

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/07/russia-s-nuclear-surge-putin-adding-nukes-while-obama-cuts.html

As of Oct. 1, Russia had hundreds more nuclear warheads deployed than the United States did. A startling 429 more, in fact, according to the U.S. State Department.

Don’t panic quite yet. The current warhead gap is probably temporary. But that doesn’t mean all’s well when it comes to potentially world-ending weaponry.

The reason for the current disparity is simple. While the U.S. military has been steadily cutting the number of nukes it loads on submarines and bombers and in missile silos, Russian forces have recently been adding nukes.

Seemingly more worrying for the United States, Russia’s 1,796 deployed warheads exceed—by a whopping 246 weapons—the cap of 1,550 deployed nuclear weapons that Moscow and Washington agreed to as part of the 2011 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

The United States, meanwhile, is already well below the New START cap. America’s missile submarines, nuclear-capable heavy bombers, and land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles are armed with just 1,367 warheads, according to the State Department.

Both Russia’s nuke surplus and America’s lesser total could change in the next 17 months. Washington and Moscow have agreed on a Feb. 5, 2018, deadline for fully implementing New START. Until then, the countries’ respective nuclear arsenals could fluctuate in size—and often.

“You have to keep in mind that numbers go up and down on day-to-day basis, so a one-day [snapshot] may mislead about force trends over time,” Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear expert who blogs at Arms Control Wonk, told The Daily Beast.

Both the United States and Russia have signaled their intention to abide by New START’s terms, meaning Russia will probably start shedding old warheads pretty soon, replacing them with a smaller number of newer atomic munitions and ultimately erasing the current nuclear disparity. “Neither of us is in violation of the agreement,” Lewis stressed.

New START is actually one of the few reasons for optimism amid the ongoing U.S.-Russia strategic arms race. For starters, the treaty only covers deployed nukes—meaning those on quick alert aboard subs, on planes, and in silos.

The treaty doesn’t limit how many perfectly functional nuclear weapons the United States and Russia can keep in storage. In many cases, those warheads could go from “stored” to “deployed” with just a few hours’ work.

Neither Washington nor Moscow discloses the exact number of nukes it keeps in storage, but Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, has estimated each country’s total stockpile to be around 4,500 warheads.

Neither government has expressed any interest in cutting its overall atomic stockpile. And both governments plan to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in coming decades modernizing their nuclear arsenals with new warheads… and better rockets, bombers, and submarines to carry them.

“Although these programs do not constitute a buildup of the overall nuclear arsenal, they are very comprehensive and reaffirm the determination by both Russia and the United States to retain large offensive nuclear arsenals at high levels of operational readiness,” Kristensen wrote on his blog.

While New START seems to be holding strong, a separate disarmament deal—whereby the United States and Russia agreed to dispose of excess fissile material—has just collapsed. The Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, signed in 2000, covered 34 tons of surplus, weapons-grade plutonium in each country.

Under the terms of the agreement, both Russia and the United States would render the plutonium unusable for military purposes—not only to decrease nuclear tensions between the two powers, but also to ensure the excess plutonium didn’t somehow wind up in terrorists’ hands.

Citing a “radically changed environment,” Russian president Vladimir Putin announced on Oct. 3 that Russia was pulling out of the deal. Nevertheless, Moscow informally pledged that it wouldn’t use the old plutonium in weapons—agreement or no.

“The decision by the Russians to unilaterally withdraw from this commitment is disappointing,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. “The announcement about the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement is more in line with those kinds of decisions that have only deepened Russia’s isolation in the international community.”

Meanwhile, the United States has been insisting for at least three years now that Russia is violating the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which bans many types of short-range nuclear weapons.

U.S. officials have not said just how Russia is allegedly violating the treaty, but the purported breach might involve the road-mobile SS-25 ballistic missile and the RS-26, a small, nimble ballistic missile apparently designed to thwart U.S. missile defenses.

Earnest expressed cautious optimism that, despite everything, Russia is still committed to reducing the risk of atomic warfare. He pointed to Russia’s cooperation with the United States in negotiating the deal with Iran to end that country’s nuclear-weapons program. “I think that’s an indication of the priority that Russia has placed on nonproliferation,” Earnest said.

But Russia’s and America’s equal commitments to maintaining and modernizing their overall nuclear arsenals—regardless of any agreement to cap the number of deployed warheads—speaks to an underlying atomic distrust that lingers a quarter-century after the Cold War ended.

“How the two countries justify such large arsenals is somewhat of a mystery,” Kristensen noted, “but seems to be mainly determined by the size of the other side’s arsenal.”

Is CHEESE the secret to perfect arteries?

Posted on October 7, 2025 by | 1 comment


For YEARS you’ve been urged to replace the foods you love… the very foods you grew up on… with disgusting substitutes, all to supposedly protect your arteries.

Gouda used to be “gouda nuff,” and Brie was for me. Now the only “cheese” they want you to eat is cottage.

BLECH!

Forget fried chicken thighs. Now it’s bland poached breasts… no salt, of course.

And don’t even THINK about using real butter. They want you to eat some fake “buttery spread” squeezed out of soybeans.

Cheese, dark meat chicken, butter, and more are all supposed to be loaded with artery-clogging fat….or so you’ve been told.

Well, friend, I’m here to say you’ve been told WRONG — because the latest research proves that these foods aren’t just safe for your arteries.

They’re ESSENTIAL to protecting you from one of today’s leading killers!

Heart disease is the nation’s number one cause of death, ending 610,000 American lives every year — and more than half of those deaths are from the most common form of the disease, coronary heart disease.

That’s when a whole lot of crud builds up inside the coronary arteries, plugging them up the way Uncle Bob clogs your toilet.

But some nutrients can sweep through your internal “pipes” like the Roto-Rooter man, clearing out the crud and getting everything flowing again.

And the secret is in a nutrient you’ll find in all those foods you’ve been told NOT to eat!

Folks with the highest intake of K2 from DIET — yes, people who eat MEAT and CHEESE — are 14 percent less likely to drop dead from coronary heart disease, according to the new study.

That’s in line with other research on this. The world-famous Rotterdam study, for example, found men with the highest K2 intake had a 52 percent lower risk of severe calcification in the coronary artery.

The new study didn’t find any artery benefit to the more common K vitamin, the K1 found in leafy greens — ONLY K2, which most people miss out on.

And that’s probably because they’re terrified to eat the foods that contain it!

The best sources include cheese — with Gouda at the top of the list — and other fatty dairy items as well as egg yolks, dark meat chicken, organ meats, and more.

K2 works best when you get plenty of vitamin D, so be sure to get out under the sun and take a D3 supplement. Along with cutting your heart risk, this duo can ensure that calcium in your diet doesn’t go into the artery plaque but instead heads into your bone — adding strength and cutting your risk of a devastating break.

That’s not all you need to know about forbidden fats. They’re also essential to making sure your body absorbs certain nutrients and puts them to use — and I’ll have the skinny on that later today.

Keep an eye on your inbox!

With some really gouda news,
Jack Harrison
