Saniya Warwaruk gave a TEDx Talk that has been unindexed and thereby censored. Yet for anyone with ongoing "Insomnia problem with a capital I", this talk by Saniya may be the answer you didn't know you were looking for. It was for me, and that is why I must share it.

Even if you don't have "Insomnia with a capital I", there is much to be gained from the advice within. And as always, take it or leave it, the choice is yours.

I woke up, finally, to the painful reality that most of humankind is rather batshit crazy.

My odd awakenings usually follow a desperate search across the Internet for any and all articles that reveal if anyone else sees what I see, feels what I feel, knows what I know. When I inquired if anyone else has realized that humanity is insane, I was both saddened and relieved to find fellow wakened sufferers. The worst suffering is when you see what you love, dying through self-sabotage. Yet most articles seem to only complain and not offer concrete answers. 

There is only one way out of the craziness that we've allowed into our world, and it is for each of us to take personal responsibility to set and keep an honorable intention, every day, as if our lives depended on it. This intention requires no fealty to any given religion, culture, or philosophy. It only requires complete, nonviolent commitment to self to Action, Clarity, and Truth.

Have you ever been overweight or chronically ill and done everything the professionals tell you to, but years later not much has changed? You just might be the unwitting victim of well-meaning, well-programmed people with something to lose.

I have no problem admitting my mistakes, and I admit to having a tendency to blindly accept the word of health authoritarians. What can I say? Lifetime chronic fatigue tends to limit your choices. 

When I was done trusting mainstream authorities, though, I leapt from one frying pan into another and blindly started trusting the promises of alternative wellness authorities. Self-imposed blindness can get you into trouble.

I love mainstream medicine’s ability to handle emergencies, and I love the holistic approach that alternative medicine takes. Yet neither have all the answers even within their own realms. And both are often blatantly wrong when it comes to weight- and diet-related health issues.

Mainstream medicine led me astray by telling me diet had nothing to do with my health problems, and alternative medicine led me astray with their veggie-and-grain-focused, eat-throughout-the-day-to-control-blood-sugar, devastatingly harmful advice. On top of that, the more I followed their advice, the more supplements I needed! Talk about your cognitive dissonance.

Eventually I got desperate and angry. Anger and desperation can and should be used as the motivational ticket that leads back to truth. 

I finally found two doctors that care more about truth than profits. At least, so far.

The first doctor that helped turn things around for me (and saved my life) is Dr. Jason Fung of The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code. 

The doctor I want to introduce you to supports Dr. Fung’s work, and has also suffered from mainstream medicine’s authoritarian education advice. But, he decided to do something about it. Now, he has an ongoing quest to share whatever he learns in order to help others get out of the weight and chronic health problems he suffered, all of it due to biased dietary advice.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to one of my favorite authorities who has no problem doing the due-diligence on our behalf and sharing his lessons without turning into an authoritarian: Dr. Ken D. Berry. 

You might both laugh and cry whenever Doc Berry presents his findings. Enjoy the video.

A leading cause and aggravator of chronic health problems is dehydration.

“Low humidity causes static electricity, dry skin and hair, increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness, and can allow viruses and germs to thrive. Wood floors, furniture and millwork will split and crack, paint will chip, and electronics can be damaged because of low humidity levels.”

Consuming enough water through diet is the typical solution for staying hydrated. Yet, many people are drinking plenty of water and their bodies are still dehydrated. I palpate bodies for a living. Dehydrated bodies are suffering bodies.

There is a second, primary source of hydration: The air we breathe. Proper humidity levels can make all the difference. Going from the chart I borrowed from Health Canada, the comfort zone is 30-55% humidity.

Do you know what your humidity levels are? Do you know what's stealing the water out of the air you breathe?
