Breaking out of ‘the matrix’: The next generation of homesteaders rejecting ‘an unreliable system’



When 23-year-old “Gubba” saw the empty shelves during the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

The city girl turned homesteader ditched life in Portland and traded ultra-processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and a desk job for 38 acres of farmland — where she is learning to become self-sufficient.

“The fridges were barren; the freezers were barren. People were going crazy, fighting over bags of dried beans. And I still remember staring at those empty shelves, and I said, ‘What am I doing here? I am relying on a system that breaks so easily. I have become dependent on this unreliable system,’” Gubba tells Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Podcast.”

“I said, ‘I am never going to find myself in this situation ever again.’ So that’s what really spurred me and, I think, started to really awaken a lot of other people,” she adds.

While Gubba found herself on expansive acreage to live out her homesteading dreams, she tells Glenn that “you do not need land to become self-sufficient.”

“The best place to start is in your kitchen, cooking from scratch, having a little window cell garden, and learning these skills,” she says. But it’s not just the food supply that has Gubba thriving in her more holistic lifestyle but the effects it’s had on her health — as well as her animals.

“I’m nourishing with proper minerals and vitamins, I’m getting sunshine, I’m getting my vitamin D, I am properly keeping myself stress-free so I don’t have negativity in my life that is bringing me down energetically. So I am keeping myself healthy,” she tells Glenn.

“I even feed my dogs raw dog food, and I support my local butcher by buying from them, or I even go and dumpster-dive from them,” she explains. “Look at the cancer rates in animals just skyrocketing on kibble. Go look at the kibble, and it’s soy and it’s cornmeal and its byproducts.”

“There’s constant recalls on their kibble because animals are dying and it’s being covered up. So this is interesting because it’s not only our food system that’s being profited on but also our pets' food system. And that makes me even more sad because they don’t have a voice,” Gubba says, noting that she gets a box of organs from her local butcher for 80 cents a pound to feed her dogs.

“If you just go to your local area, and you start looking around, you can find these sources too like I am,” she adds.

Cancer patients are younger than ever — and this doctor knows why



Cancer was once a disease that was mostly reserved for older populations, but that’s no longer the case. Diagnoses of the disease have skyrocketed among young people in the United States in the past 10 to 20 years.

Functional integrative physician and medical director of Cancer Center for Healing and Center for New Medicine Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy has the answer as to why that is.

“There’s a study that shows the increase in specifically colorectal cancer for young people,” Allie Beth Stuckey tells Connealy. “It used to be that was a type of cancer reserved for very old people, really, all types of cancer used to be more just an old-person problem. But that’s becoming less and less true.”

Connealy knows that much of the answer lies in what we consume.

“They’re not eating the right foods. They’re eating foods with lots of chemicals and toxins and seed oils, and you know, most of them are probably deficient in vitamins and minerals,” she explains.

But it’s not just seed oils and toxins.

“Parasites, all bugs, can contribute to the scenario of cancer,” Connealy explains. “And so, American doctors don’t think you can have parasites, because we have this clean, sterile, society, right?”

“But of course not,” she continues, explaining that commonly consumed food, like sushi, contains parasites.

“It’s something that, you know again, is one of the contributing causes to cancer. So, you know, cancer isn’t just one disturbance. It’s the perfect storm that’s creating this chaotic environment,” she says.

Unfortunately, doctors in the American medical system aren’t trained to address problems at the source.

“Doctors are taught a very indoctrinated version of medicine,” Connealy says. “In medical medical you’re taught how the body works, then the pharmacology that you use on the diagnosis you’re making, and then you may need surgery in some cases if it’s a diseased organ.”

While doctors aren’t taught to address the food patients are eating or the toxins they surround themselves with, they also aren’t taught to address stress levels.

“I’ve never met a patient where the doctor told the patient they need to change their eating and they need to address their stress,” she adds.

SHOCKING: Doctor exposes the truth about breast implants — 'a flood of chemicals'



How can we use natural remedies to allow God’s healing to work in our lives? Dr. Josh Axe recently joined “Relatable” to answer that question. On the program, Dr. Axe discusses everything from breast implant illness to red light therapy.

Dr. Axe starts with an explanation of the difference between functional and conventional medicine using an example of a patient with high blood pressure. While conventional medicine would prescribe a statin to lower blood pressure, functional medicine would look to address the root cause of the elevated blood pressure through diet, supplement, and lifestyle modifications.

When asked about breast implant illness, Dr. Axe begins by explaining what implants actually are:

“Let's start off with what you're putting in your body. You're putting in silicone, which is sort of a mixture between rubber-meets-plastic. It’s fossil fuels or certain chemicals there that make up an implant.”

He goes on to describe how chemicals from the implant leech into women’s bodies:

“If there's a rupture, I mean, there's a tremendous — it's like a flood of chemicals being released in your system, and there was a recent study that came out ... showing that [having breast implants] increases your risk of autoimmune disease by six to eight times.”

Dr. Axe says this could result in rashes, joint pain, hormonal changes, hair thinning, and more. According to him, when women have had their implants removed, about 75% of the time, all of their symptoms resolve within one year of the removal.

Dr. Axe also highlights how much stress can impact fertility and health overall:

“One thing a lot of people I don't think realize is that different emotions affect different organ systems. So we know for instance, high blood pressure is really tied more to anxiousness, and so if you get anxious, your blood pressure will start to rise ... that affects the adrenals. Your body starts producing more cortisol and stress hormones.”

“I had a patient once who ... got a divorce and just was grieving about it for years, and then and then she developed autoimmune disease.”

In the full episode linked below, Dr. Axe also discusses how to heal hypothyroidism, detoxing from birth control, and gives general diet and supplement advice for natural healing. Notably, he also emphasizes the necessity of faith in the healing process:

“I'm not trying to be the healer ... God's the healer. I'm not trying to be that person for you, versus, there's a lot of doctors with a God complex out there. It’s pretty prevalent.”
