MY ADVENTURES AT GREEN CAY WETLANDS, BOYNTON BEACH FL JAN 30/24

As I mentioned in the previous post on both wetlands I visited, that this is a larger one and about double the size and also has different lectures and events. Parking is also much better here. I spent 2 hours and walked around the whole place at a leisurely pace, so can take in and enjoy the scenery, take photos and videos. I had a very nice time and it isn’t as hot compared to coming later in the year, so highly recommend coming this time of year. There were lots of people there, but didn’t feel crowded and wonder if is busier in the summer, even though it is hotter or maybe when people are on vacation from school, etc.

Here are the links again for this location to get more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Cay_Wetlands https://discover.pbcgov.org/parks/Pages/GreenCay.aspx

Here are pictures I took of the birds I saw here.

MY ADVERTURES AT WAKODAHATCHEE WETLANDS IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA JAN 29/24

I had not been here for quite a number of years and is a good time to go in the winter because isn’t that hot, but it is a smaller wetlands, as mentioned in the last post, so best to get here early to find parking or come with a group or get dropped off, as I did. I took a lot of pictures, but not all of them came out great because only have a camera on my phone. It was definitely a nice time to see all the lovely creatures and critters that call this place their home and we the people get to watch and observe them.

I hope you enjoy the pictures, but better yet, I hope you also get to visit sometime, as well.

My Adventures At The Florida Wetlands

I recently visited my parents in Boynton Beach, Florida and they have 2 hidden gems within 10-15 minute drive that is so easy to miss because they are tucked away so well. I don’t know when I 1st heard about them, but I know it is at least 10 years ago or maybe longer. If you live in the area or will be making any trips in the future to Florida, I highly recommend you check them both out. They are free and open to the public. One of them also has events that are either free or quite inexpensive and very well worth it and I will share more here about that and also share photos on this blog, I recently took from both locations in the upcoming months.

The 1st one is call Wakodahatchee Wetlands. The Wakodahatchee Wetlands, opened in 1996 and is located in Delray Beach at 13270 Jog Road, zip code 33484 in Palm Beach County. Constructed on 50 acres of previous wastewater utility property, the created wetlands are free and open to the public. https://www.visitdelraybeach.org/plays/wakodahatchee-wetlands/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakodahatchee_Wetlands https://discover.pbcgov.org/waterutilities/Pages/Wetlands.aspx

My personal experience: This Wetlands is much smaller and hence gets crowded faster and doesn’t have as much parking and sometimes have to wait a while in line to get a space, so it best to either load up everyone in 1 vehicle, drop everyone off who wants to go or get there early. (THIS INFO APPLIES TO BOTH WETLANDS: The surroundings are beautiful and you feel like you are not in a city and only hear nature sounds from all the creatures and critters. Lots of people come with professional camera equipment to photograph the birds, alligators, etc. I only have a phone camera, so the pictures aren’t as sharp, unless what I capture is much closer to me), but I did get some good ones and a surprise bird that was actually right out by the sign for the Wetlands and that will be a story for the future. (THIS INFO APPLIES TO BOTH WETLANDS: It is a great place to take anyone and everyone as you’ll be captivated and amazed at all the beauty to behold of the surroundings and may get some surprises like I had, as well. You just have to be in the right place at the right time) I will share more in the next post with pictures from 1 of my visits to this wetlands, as I went there 2x during my trip to the area. The 1st visit I spent about 2 hours and really took my time to look around, but you can spend all day there if you want. The 2nd time was there for an hour. (THIS INFO APPLIES TO BOTH WETLaNDS: Many people use the boardwalk and come daily for there exercise, as the surroundings are so nice, who wouldn’t want to! Of course, I was there in the winter season, so isn’t as hot, but in the summer time you’d need to prepare yourself better with lots of water, sunhats, etc). I will also be posting short #shorts videos from this location on my youtube channel later in the year and will post the links on my blog as well.

============================================================================

The 2nd one is called Green Cay Nature Center & Wetlands.
Green Cay Wetlands is a nature preserve located in Boynton Beach, Florida. The 100-acre property was purchased in 1999 from Ted and Trudy Winsberg, who used the property for farming. The Winsbergs sold the property for 1/3 of its appraised value with the condition that it would be made into a wetland. 12800 Hagen Ranch Rd, Boynton Beach, FL 33437     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Cay_Wetlands https://discover.pbcgov.org/parks/Pages/GreenCay.aspx

My personal experience: This is a much bigger wetlands and there is no issues with parking from the 2x I went there on this recent trip, but I have been there years ago, as well. There is a lot more to see, as they have a nature center and also programs you can attend that are both free and minimal cost and worth the time. I wish I was staying longer so I can attend some of the programs. I spent 2 hours there on the 1st visit to go at a more leisurely pace and then 1 hour for the 2nd visit. When I came here years ago, I signed up with a friend to do the night time program when the wetlands is closed which you pay for, but is so awesome! There was 1st a presentation inside the nature center and there was this cute baby owl that I think is a resident there and can’t go back in the wild, but not sure if is still there now. Then they took us around the boardwalk and we mostly heard loads and loads of frogs croaking and I’m sure there were other things, too, but I can’t remember. I would do it again, but didn’t get a chance on this trip. Is best to go when the weather isn’t that hot because there are lots of bugs out at night and could get bitten, but you could still go if you protect yourself beforehand, but please don’t buy or use all the crappy horrible toxic products with DEET or other chemicals. I found a product that I have used for years and still use that really works and is called Don’t Bite Me Patch. Look for the link to it on the right hand side bar of my blog that lists different companies in alphabetical order and is titled Blogroll or do a google search for it.

I will be sharing pictures in future posts from my 2 visits to this location and also recorded some video #shorts that will post to my youtube channel later in the year and will share the links on the blog as well.

WHO DO YOU TRUST — ONLY THOSE WHO SHARE THE TRUTH!!!

This was sent to me in the newsletter I get regularly from Zelenko Labs on Mar. 22/23

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri’s bill to declassify intelligence information about the origins of COVID-19 just passed. Several government agencies have released intelligence estimates stating Covid was caused by a lab leak in Wuhan, China.

This is important because we do not know what sort of information Anthony Fauci and the CDC had about the origins of Covid, if they listened to the intelligence experts, or if anything was covered up. No matter what the outcome is, this is a great day for medical freedom. The Republican majority is promoting openness and transparency in public health. There is very little about public health that the government should be withholding, so this is a great step to ensure the mistakes of Covid are never repeated.

You may also find it interesting to learn that the bill passed unanimously. That means the Democrats could have released this information sooner, but deliberately chose not to, even though they knew better.

Dr. Zelenko always stood against medical tyranny, and this is a great day for medical freedom fighters everywhere.

Zelenko products are scientifically backed by ingredients you can trust!
“For children in the classroom, zinc can be quite beneficial in boosting their immune systems.

Both the innate and adaptive immune systems need zinc to be maintained at the cellular level; a zinc deficit may lead to improper cell formation and activation as well as disruption of intracellular communication, which is necessary for building a coordinated immune response against viruses.

In addition to possessing antioxidant capabilities and maintaining a balanced inflammatory response, research links zinc as a crucial component in promoting immune system health.

In comparison to a placebo, one study found that adding zinc to the diet helped children with pneumonia recover more quickly from their illness.”Keep your children healthy with Kids Z-Stack®. Over the past few months, our team has been researching ways to make our kid-friendly gummies even healthier so you know your kids are getting the very best!  

It is also important for everyone to include Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc that protects the body. Dr. Zelenko’s products have these ingredients in them because they are proven to benefit the body in many different ways. Please go to my previous posts to see more about how you can safeguard-boost your immune system through using these ingredients, as a preventative measure or if you are already dealing with health challenges, whether acute or chronic, you can improve your situation and shield yourself for the future.

Be proactive!

Take control of your own health and well-being!

You are worth it and important!

The Top 3 Reasons Zinc Can Improve Your Daily Health

The Top 3 Reasons Zinc Can Improve Your Daily Health

A key mineral that is crucial for maintaining general health and well-being is… you guessed it, Zinc!

Here are the top three reasons:

1. Zinc is well-known for its immune-boosting properties. It plays a vital role in the development and function of immune cells, including white blood cells and natural killer cells. Zinc helps to regulate immune responses, promotes the production of antibodies, and enhances the body’s ability to fight off infections. Adequate zinc levels are particularly important during times of increased immune system activity, such as during cold and flu seasons or periods of stress.

2. Zinc is essential for the proper healing of wounds and injuries. It is involved in various stages of the healing process, including cell division, protein synthesis, and collagen formation. Zinc helps to promote the growth of new tissue, supports the formation of a strong wound matrix, and reduces inflammation. Adequate zinc levels can accelerate the healing time of wounds and minimize the risk of infections.

3. Zinc is involved in numerous functions within the brain and has a significant impact on cognitive function and mental health. It plays a role in neurotransmitter regulation, including the production and function of serotonin, which is involved in mood regulation. Zinc is also crucial for memory formation and learning processes. Maintaining optimal zinc levels can support healthy brain function, improve memory and concentration, and may even help prevent age-related cognitive decline.

Make Z-Stack®, Kids Z-Stack®, Z-Flu™, Z-Shield™ and Z-DTox™ (which all contain Zinc) a daily priority to help keep your immune system strong through any covid outbreaks!

DITCH THE FLU SHOT FOR THIS!!

This is from one of the weekly emails I receive about the Zelenko products.

The bold claims stated by Dr Zelenko during his many censored interviews would have caused the heads of pharmaceutical execs and reps to spin faster than the head of Linda Blair in the classic 1973 movie, The Exorcist

In one such interview, Dr Zelenko noted that each year from 2015 to 2020 there were 40 million cases of the flu in America—and approximately 40,000 deaths. Let’s all keep in mind that this was WITH the flu shot being readily available. 

So how exactly is the flu shot helping? It’s not

Here is just one of Dr Zelenko’s claims which has proven to be true. THE FLU SHOT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY. (and never was)  

Dr Zelenko further went on to state how we can protect ourselves not only from the influenza virus, but from single stranded RNA viruses, including covid. 
“I don’t care which variant it is”, he stated. “All variants are treated the same way by me.” 

Here are Dr Zelenko’s TOP 5 ESSENTIALS to combat influenza, all of which are available as individual supplements OR as a convenient all-in-one super formula:

EGCG: A zinc ionophore which moves zinc into the cells and inhibits viral replication.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC): A powerful antioxidant which helps prevent blood clots and adds an “extra layer of protection” when cells are attacked.

Vitamin D3: An “absolutely essential” supplement based on data which shows people with high normal levels are “virtually assured” not to get admitted into an intensive care unit. 

Vitamin C: An important factor in many bodily processes and highly effective at supporting the immune system. Zinc: Protects against “all strains of covid” and inhibits the influenza virus. 

And not only does Z-Dtox™ contain ALL FIVE of these supplements in balanced dosages, it can be substituted with the additional support of elderberry gummies which contain a powerful blend of vitamin Cvitamin Dzincquercetin and elderberry extract

Z-Shield = Newest Products from Zelenko Labs

This is from an email I receive and has some great information and for you to learn the benefits of this product and you can also check out more on their website for all the products offered. https://zstacklife.com/?ref=MINDYG USE COUPON CODE: MINDYG FOR 5% DISCOUNT

What Makes Z-Shield™ Special…
When dormant viruses such as Shingles exist in your body, they can compromise your immune system’s ability to combat active viruses like the common cold. In addition, inflammation within your body can trigger the reactivation of these dormant viruses, potentially leading to complications.
Z-Shield incorporates a unique combination of natural ingredients that have been scientifically proven to support the elimination of these viruses from the body. Furthermore, it aids in reducing inflammation, thus acting as a preventive measure against the activation of dormant viruses. As a result, Z-Shield strengthens your body, enabling it to better defend against external attacks. By enhancing your overall immune system, it empowers you to effectively combat external threats and maintain your well-being.
Lemon Balm
Lemon balm, a herb from the mint family, has a rich history of usage dating back to the Middle Ages. It was recognized for its calming properties, its ability to combat viruses, and its stress-reducing effects. Additionally, lemon balm has been employed to aid in alleviating digestive issues, further showcasing its versatility and potential health benefits.
The Science
St John’s Wort
St. John’s wort is a plant whose flowers and leaves contain active compounds, including hyperforin. Hyperforin is known for its antiviral properties and its ability to inhibit non-specific kinases. These properties contribute to the potential health benefits associated with St. John’s wort.  
The Science
Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice that is abundant in phytonutrients, which play a vital role in protecting cells from damage. Moreover, it is known for its potential to reduce inflammation within the body. Inflammation can hinder the body’s immune response to external invaders such as viruses and can even trigger the activation of dormant viruses already present in the body. By incorporating turmeric into your diet or supplementation, you may support the reduction of inflammation, thereby helping to enhance your body’s ability to combat viruses and mitigate the reactivation of dormant viruses.
The Science
NAC
NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) combines with glutamine and glycine to produce glutathione, a potent antioxidant. Glutathione serves numerous functions in the body, including supporting the maintenance of a robust immune system. NAC supplements can assist in replenishing any deficiencies in natural cysteine levels, ensuring that your body has an adequate supply of this essential component. By doing so, it helps support the production of glutathione and its associated benefits.
The Science
Vitamin D
Vitamin D functions as a hormone within the body, as it possesses receptors in virtually every cell. This characteristic establishes it as one of the most vital vitamins you can incorporate into your regimen.
The Science
EGCG
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a distinctive plant compound that has garnered considerable attention due to its potential beneficial effects on health. It is believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties and has been associated with weight loss assistance. Furthermore, EGCG is thought to contribute to the prevention of heart and brain diseases, making it a noteworthy component in maintaining overall well-being

How To Get The Most Out Of Z-Stack

If you are not familiar with this product or Zelenko Labs, Dr. Zev Zelenko of blessed memory, was at the forefront of finding help for those who were dealing with covid and also for preventative measures to help boost the immune system and keep you healthy and strong. This 1st formula came about because of a need to have a product that didn’t require a prescription to use because the drugs, namely hydroxychlorquine and ivermectin were becoming exceedingly hard to find and therefore Dr. Zelenko researched what were good alternatives that have the same/similar results as they do and he put together this formula that has synergistic affects in the body and has helped so many people and still is. Since his passing last Jun 30/22 many other products have been formulated and are being sold and also products for children and new ones in the works. You can check out some of my previous blog posts for more information or go to the website.

How to get the most out of Z-Stack®?

Here are some great tips and tricks on the best times and methods
to take your Z-Stack® to get the incredible benefits of this powerful formula.
As labeled on the bottle, Z-Stack® is intended to take 2 capsules daily.
We advise you to start by taking one in the morning and one at night.
Below are some great tips on each of the vitamins
that are in Z-Stack® and how they are best absorbed:

For Zinc: You should take it with water or juice.
If zinc causes an upset stomach, it can be taken with meals.
Don’t take zinc at the same time as iron or calcium supplements.
A strong relationship exists between zinc and copper.
Too much of one can cause a deficiency in the other.
If you take zinc, including zinc in a multivitamin, you should also take copper.
Zinc is best absorbed when taken with a meal that contains protein.

For Vitamin D: Avocados, nuts, seeds, full-fat dairy products, and eggs
are nutritious sources of fat that help boost your vitamin D absorption.

For Vitamin C: The best way to consume vitamin C for optimum absorption
is to supplement it together with iron.
This is why it is commonplace to drink orange juice with your cereal.
The iron in the cereal helps you to better absorb the vitamin C in the orange juice.
Some other food pairings for maximized vitamin C absorption include
blueberries and oatmeal, greens with a citrus dressing,
or red bell peppers dipped in hummus.

For Quercetin: Quercetin is popular as a supplement,
often combined with other nutrients such as bromelain or vitamin C
because it is not easily absorbed and used in the body on its own.
When paired with vitamin C, it is more potent [in the body]
and vitamin C helps to regenerate quercetin within the body
(our original Z-Stack® combines both)!
As with many supplements, taking quercetin with food is recommended.
So ideally the best time to take it is with your breakfast or evening meal.

3 Benefits You May Not Know About Vitamin C

From an email I received from Zelenko Labs

3 Benefits You May Not Know About Vitamin C

1. Reduces the risk of chronic diseases: Adequate vitamin C intake has been associated with a lower risk of several chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize oxidative stress and inflammation, which are underlying factors in the development of these conditions.

2. Supports brain health: Vitamin C plays a crucial role in brain health by protecting neurons from oxidative stress, promoting the production of neurotransmitters, and facilitating the synthesis of certain compounds involved in brain function. Some studies have suggested that higher vitamin C intake may help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

3. Protects eye health: Vitamin C, along with other antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene, can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, two common eye conditions that can lead to vision loss. These antioxidants help protect the eyes from damage caused by oxidative stress.

Make Z-Stack®, Kids Z-Stack®, Z-Flu™, and Z-DTox™ (all containing Vitamin C) a daily priority.

Z-Shield = A great product from Zelenko Labs – Sale on all products is on through Jul 10th!

This information was provided to me in an email from Zelenko Labs.

Did you know the powerful Z-Shield™ product contains Turmeric?  

Here are 3 things that might surprise you about Turmeric:

  1. Potential cancer-fighting properties: Numerous studies have suggested that curcumin in turmeric root extract may have anti-cancer effects. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, prevent the spread of tumors, and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. While more research is needed, these findings are promising.
  2. Brain health and cognitive support: Curcumin may have neuroprotective effects and could potentially support brain health. It has been studied for its potential in preventing or treating neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. Curcumin may help reduce oxidative damage, inflammation, and the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques associated with these conditions.
  3. Digestive health benefits: Turmeric root extract has traditionally been used to support digestion and alleviate digestive issues. It can help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, support liver function, and promote a healthy gut microbiome. Some people find relief from conditions like indigestion, bloating, and gas with the use of turmeric root extract.

You can find Turmeric Root Extract in Z-Shield™ formula along with some other incredible ingredients!
