the world braces for an outbreak of monkey pox formula shortages don't seem to go away
and food prices are up over eight and a half percent
what do we do with all this information while we're trying to maintain our health
in a good sustainable way we'll break each one of these topics down one by one
hi wellness warrior i'm dr zyrowski and there's a lot of crazy things going on in the world today
and for you and me one of the things we want to know is how do we maintain our health how do we
take care of ourselves how do we maintain eating healthy what do we have to do well let's go ahead
and first start with monkey pox now according to an update on the cdc's website cases of monkey
pox have been reported in europe north america australia and they also added that there these
cases were amongst homosexual mail some cases were also reported by people who lived in the
same household of the infected person okay so as we look at the billions of people worldwide we're
looking at about 500 cases of monkey pox uk has the most cases and next on the list is spain and
then portugal and if you look at the united states it's way down there on the list now once again
this is showing up in homosexual male communities okay this isn't some widespread
issue that's just ravaging people's homes nor will it likely ever be that scenario now
i think this is a big nothing burger i don't believe this will amount to anything i do believe
that the media and potentially politicians and definitely big pharma are going to try to stir
up as much hysteria as possible with this whole situation because there's a lot of money to be
made there's a lot of power to be grabbed from people and you know when it comes to the media
if they're scaring people then their numbers go up so i think that you'll see a lot of hysteria
about this i also see that there's going to be a lot of opportunities opportunists come out
and if we look at you know an example of some monkey business associated with monkey pox i mean
joe biden's already went and purchased 119 million dollars worth of vaccines you know i'm just kind
of wondering when politicians will stop shoveling copious amounts of taxpayer monies into the
pharmaceutical companies i mean these companies are the largest most powerful richest companies
in the world and yet the government continues to inject itself in healthcare issues just
funneling tons of money to them of the hard-earned taxpayer money so the government did an awful job
with covid i mean from you know telling people to mask when we later found out that the masks
were garbage and then they still continued to tell people to mask and then they told people
that you need to social distance and once again john hopkins came out with research not only that
social distancing didn't work and lockdowns didn't work the government continued to tell
people to do it even though we had proof that it didn't work and then they went as far as telling
you to pretty much inject half your body weight with vaccines and you would never get covered and
sure enough everybody went and injected half of their body weight on vaccines and then everybody
still got covered once and twice and three times after that so anyway i they've proven to do an
awful job so i don't think anybody's interested in their advice at this point now some other monkey
business that's really interesting around this monkey pox issue that should raise everybody's
eyebrows is that there was a tabletop simulation exercise of a monkey pox outbreak that took place
in march 21. so essentially what they did is they said oh there's this potential for this
monkey pox outbreak let's basically go and kind of run through a scenario of what would happen well
they did the same thing with covid and then after they did that with covid with this event 201 sure
enough like a year later kovid shows up well now they did it with monkey pox and sure enough a year
later then all of a sudden monkey pox shows up so it's like you know what everybody complains about
conspiracy theorists but it's like when you start looking at the facts here it's like how come they
seem to be right in all these situations and then another thing that would definitely raise eyebrows
is that turns out that they were developing monkey pox in the wuhan lab now it already existed in
other places of the world but they were actually going and creating it within the wuhan lab they
said they didn't have access to it they wanted to study it and so instead of just going somewhere
and getting it off of like you know a human body that has it in another country they said oh we
don't have access to it so as they're creating it it's like oh my gosh like this whole wuhan lab
thing it just it keeps getting worse so the cdc concluded that the risk to the general population
remains really low with monkey pox it says that people should seek immediate medical care
if they develop any new unexplained skin rashes and lesions or even fever with or without chills
now here's the thing about this when it comes down to any of these things whether it's monkey
pox or it's covered whatever you have to focus on boosting your immune system and taking care
of your health if you're suffering from a chronic health condition an autoimmune disorder diabetes
high blood pressure cholesterol issues metabolic issues of any sort if you're suffering from these
issues you need to work on taking care of them right because that's how you protect yourself
you take care of these issues that exist that are depressing your immune system you make sure
you have sufficient levels of vitamin d you know vitamin c you use things like nac and you boost
your immune system and then it fights this stuff off it's amazing how that works okay we know
full well that poor outcomes associated with the pandemic was in people with depressed immune
systems right mostly from obesity but obviously there's a lot of other reasons that can happen
too so we have to take care of ourselves so the lesson learned is take care of yourself so you
don't have to be subject to all these you know people lacking any intelligence at all telling
you how to take care of your health now the next topic is food shortages and this one's actually
pretty interesting to me because obviously you're going to have poor health if we have food shortage
issues and so this is concerning to any of us who are trying to take care of ourselves and
eat right and eat healthy there was a report that people don't analyze what's going to hit
them come this fall a texas farmer had said they think it's tough right now give it until october
food prices are going to double now food prices already up 8.8 okay you have to look at the costs
that are hitting the farmers right now so you're experiencing 8.8 percent
but farmers are experiencing much worse than that right now because they have to pay up front in
order to plant their fields and so you're going to experience what they're experiencing right now
this fall so this is something that we have to you know be really aware of now the article goes on to
say usually what we see on the farm the consumer doesn't encounter for another 18 months but with
the severity of these costs increasing consumers could feel the effects much sooner particularly
if the weather becomes a factor the prices now have not hit the grocery stores yet
but they are expected to by the end of summer much of the cost of food hinges on the price of oil
they have no electric trucks delivering that food and there are no electric tractors it takes diesel
to run everything and this is one of the ironies of um you know like in general the government
trying to push everybody towards electric vehicles and electric everything sure there could be a lot
of benefit to that but you are going to just really cause people to struggle i mean like
at the end of the day when it comes to food and everything it all is hinging on how much it costs
to put that food into the ground and you might think to yourself well i don't eat a whole bunch
of corn i don't eat a whole bunch of soybeans but yes you use animal products and that's how
these animals are fed right so it's important to realize that this will affect you this is how
farmers take care of their grounds and i live in a farming community so i hear farmers complaining
every day and like how much it is costing them to plant their fields and i know that this is a
huge problem because it doesn't stop there like it's not as if they're going to have
to just take that all in the chin and nobody's going to have to pay for it it's just that when
they go to sell those crops like it is going to dr jack up the prices of food enormously
so one farmer has said that fuel and fertilizer together make up 55 percent of his total cost
the price of diesel fuel has more than doubled to more than five dollars per gallon today from 250
a gallon at the end of 2020 farmers say that the cost of fertilizer in oil derivatives have tripled
in some cases quadrupled okay so oil's going up and then the other thing you have to look at is
fertilizer has gone up dramatically so what you're looking at if it's costing the farmer quadruple
to plant their field between like fuel costs and fertilizer then you're going to find likely the
food in your grocery store quadruple okay that's what you would expect to see so like what do
you do about all this well one of the things that you can simply do is maybe stock up on some foods
that are going to be foods that stay good for a long period of time okay so if there's foods out
there that you can store you could always stock up on those well it's cheaper because the food
prices are going to definitely go up now the other thing that you certainly could do is you could
start a small garden at your house i think that like we're potentially moving towards
a time where you know people are going to start considering gardening more i mean who knows what
this whole food thing is going to turn into but people may find themselves needing to garden more
needing to actually develop relationships with local farmers i think this is a big deal
have relationships with local food sources like if there are some farmers markets down the road from
you go ahead go there get some products from those guys and then the other thing that you could do is
develop relationships with them so that maybe you can buy directly from them right from the farm you
can save a lot of money that way that in a lot of cases versus buying from the grocery store so that
is a good workaround too because if there's a food shortage i mean honestly the people who are going
to be um really hurt by it the most are people who live in large cities that don't have direct access
to food like for instance where i live out in the country i mean i can go to pretty much anywhere
and find food but if you live in a high rise which i've done this before i've lived in the city
living in a condo multiple floors up like the only access you have to food is the stuff that's
brought to your grocery store so it's something to consider now the next topic is the fda pretty much
admits that they had a delayed response in regards to shutting down this baby formula operation
and they shut it down for a long period of time which causes huge shortage in the
marketplace and they failed to reopen it it's really their fault it comes
back to them our government literally just doing a crappy job at most things that they do and so now
we have this huge shortage what do we do about it so i was looking around doing some investigating
and what i had found is that a lot of the really low quality baby formula is the
formula that we're seeing shortages in when we look at better quality organic formula in high
quality formula that's not using just garbage products like soys and fillers and all kinds of
you know high fructose corn syrup and things that you don't want your kids having anyway when we
look to some of the better quality stuff there seems to be a lot of that still on the market i
literally couldn't find a place out of stock out of any of the really good quality formulas that
exist out there so if you're looking at like organic or just ones that are using good pure
ingredients i found that there's a lot of that out there now i think that like as far as the
shortage there's nothing i can really tell you in that realm but what i can tell you is that a
lot of the baby formula is just complete trash and so i hope that maybe through this shortage
people realize like uh you know what maybe the conversations will come up more and more that a
lot of this baby formula is garbage anyway and that we should actually look and be looking to
some better quality stuff now also i've heard many people say well you know what
maybe the moms just need to breastfeed well i understand that that's easy to say but i also
realized that's not a reality for all women in all cases now a lot of women don't understand
how important and how critical it is to breastfeed their baby and how beneficial it is so they just
don't do it they just hear that you can bottle feed it's kind of the same thing and it's really
not so obviously breastfeeding a child is going to be the best thing that you can do for their
overall health but let's say you're a mom that works let's say that you had some sort of you know
trouble at the beginning of your pregnancy and you weren't able to breastfeed there's a lot of
scenarios out there as a father of five children i can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's
not a reality that all women can breastfeed in all cases so formula is necessary but you want to make
sure you're getting the better quality of stuff and not the cheap garbage formula and like i said
if you look on the market you're going to find that there's a lot of good quality formula that is
available that you can order today and so look out for that and make sure you're making wise choices
for your children's health if you enjoyed this video i think you'll really enjoy this video next
