Longevity Now Conference - Day 1


Let's just get this out of the way... With the 3-hour time difference, I was WIDE AWAKE at 4am local time. It is now after 11pm. LONG DAY. However, supremely worth it!

There is SO much information we covered in this first day, I'll just hit on a few highlights. First we heard from David Wolfe, the man. For the first time ever, he talked about cancer... So appropriate since I just wrote about this in my prior post, and he confirmed quite a lot. Some take-aways:

- NO plastics EVER. Especially not to drink your water from. EVER. Elevates estrogen levels and increases risk of cancer by factor of 5.
- Cruciferous vegetables stop the build-up of bad estrogen.
- Outsmart cancer with O2/O3 therapy. "Flood Your Body With Oxygen", "Knockout: Curing Cancer" - books.
- Pancreatic enzymes - enzyme therapy (trypsin and chymotrypsin, the 2 master enzymes).
- Antioxidants from berries!
- Low sugar, low protein diet.
- Garlic, kale, nuts, seeds, seaweeds, low sugar fruits, root vegetables, grasses, super herbs, super foods, medicinal mushrooms, cruciferous vegetables.
- Vitamin D3 one of the best way to turn on cancer fighting hormones.
- Amino acid chains, peptides, in maca, bee pollen, spirulina, royal jelly.

We also learned about Chinese herbal formulation from George Lamoureux of Jing Herbs, EFT Tapping from Nick Ortner, and then how to make an incredible kelp noodle salad with Frank Giglio.

Kevin Gianni told us an amazing story about the Caro people in the Andes of Peru... No western diseases, live off of 400 varieties of sweet potatoes (and coca plant), and have life expectancy of 90+. Their secret?

- Glacier water
- Crops fertilized by alpaca
- Clean air
- Coca leaf (calcium, potassium)
- Protein in potatoes (these are NOT your average potatoes)
- Exercise (they hike MOUNTAINS)
- Connected to pachamama (earth)

Then we heard from Daniel Vitalis. OMG. Almost everything he talked about was a piece of the puzzle I already knew. But he put the puzzle together for us, and I actually cried. I was so overwhelmed with sadness for the direction the human race is headed in... I had to head straight to the Tonic Bar for a Jing Master smoothie after his session. Definitely far too much to get into in this blog, but so powerful. Let's put it this way: buy local, buy organic, know your farmer... And become a gatherer of wild foods. Avoid GMO at ALL COSTS.

Finally, we heard from Dr. Stephen Sinatra about getting grounded (earthing). This is so important, and so simple, I will do a special blog post just about this topic sometime in the next week. Basically, how to save ourselves from the destructive forces of modern living in one, easy, can be done for free, act.

This is all just the tip of the iceberg... I have so much information, I could go on forever! I have some AMAZING recipes to share with everyone also. We will get to all that... Eventually... But for now, I've got to get some shut-eye. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
