I've noticed that bugs may fly around me, but don't land or bite me, even when those I am with are being bitten. This has been consistent in the humid New England summers where I spent most of my life, 7 years in Hawaii and now, in southern California. I don't know exactly what to attribute it to! I think it's not just one thing - it's the entire diet, which includes leafy greens, nutritional yeast on salads, pumpkin, sunflower seeds, almond butter...and I fall off the wagon and indulge in pizza and the great mexican food we have around here!

Maybe i can just add to your advice on using oils in particular when it comes to keeping bugs and flies away. In my experience, the easiest method is to just put a squirt of eucalyptus oil with some other oils mentioned, add lots of clean water, and spay yourself, your cloths and even where you are sleeping. Neem oil works even better particularly on your skin mixed with a base oil, but it smells funny. But it is also great for the skin and works best for pets and children partially because it does not sting the eyes and is less irritating. Tea tree oil can also be used or added to shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps and even mouthwash which goes a long way toward keeping bugs away. Dont forget you can always start burning some of these oils to rid bugs from a room. finally, eat brewers yeast with every meal and you'll be getting plenty of that Vitamin b1 mentioned in this article which doesn't stop all bugs but keeps away the blood suckers like mosquitoes and flees etc. (if you put brewers yeast everyday on your pets food they wont get flees in most cases). if you are not keeping the bugs away naturally, you havent figured it out because if you have a good size bottle of eucalyptus oil you wont have an issue. whatever you do dont start spraying chemicals in the air or start rubbing them on your skin, because it is heather to just get bit! peace and good health, k First of all thank you kindly Doctor Whitaker for you enlightened and even brave statements or as i would say “truths” or just plain reality.

It's just another approach...a specific program for weight loss and blood sugar control. You've already noticed that exercise helps curb your appetite in the morning. You sound like an ideal candidate for mini-fasting. As a diabetic, you may want to reconsider the ham and eggs. Studies show more than an occasional egg increases risk of cardiovascular disease, as does the excess sodium in ham. Instead, opt for other protein sources such as lean poultry, tofu, or fish. Good luck to you. This program is ideal for people with diabetes. It’s just another approach…a specific program for weight loss and blood sugar control.
