this post was supposed to be about BEES & FLIES, but one little click in FB talking to my good friend FRED, turned it swiftly into THIS:

***FUNkk! How well I remember that I loved eating them hotdog buns, with dolllops of ketchup and that glow-in-the-dark yellow mustard, washed down with LOads of the CC* beverage.

I even got knickedamed or teased or something like that by some of the siblings for 'Ar chríochnaigh Bríd an CC ARÍST? {did Bríd finish the CC A-GAIN**???]

**cert-ainly NOT a 'GAIN'.

The only think I gained from the 50plus years of knocking this type of thing back was chronic hip-pain whereby I could only get up the stairs by 'walking' on all fours, and could only get around by leaning on a friend (go raibh míle maith agat Peter/vielen Dank fuer die Blumen/merci mille fois mon ami), > caused by inflammation > caused by consuming this stuff.

Cause it sure ain't 'Food'.

There are multiple ways of eating that have been PROVEN to reduce inflammation-causing dis-ease:

And.There's. More...

***The American Diabetes Society is FINALLY TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FOOD PYRIMID LIE - Just waiting now for the same information to come out about #Cancer #Osteoporosis #Alzheimers #Diabetes #Aspertame #NoCure #PermanentDamage***

- how many times have we heard "there's no cure for it" or "it's permanent" - yet people & doctors are reversing the symptoms and diagnoses of alzheimers & diabetes et al.

There are thousands of real, live, testimonials on line.

What about getting rid of a slouching back in your later years? Is that "just a part of aging"? Or can it AT LEAST be IMPROVED?

Look at the couple in their 80s who started DEAD WEIGHT LIFTING in January 2025, and who now can lift WAY MORE than I can lift in my current state of non-optimal health/strength.
IN ONLY 5 MONTHS!

And look at the guy in Arizona, who is offering a low-carb diet to the elderly in his 4 assisted-living homes, and REVERSING their alzheimers symptoms BY CHANGING THEIR DIET *ALONE*.

My grandmother had Alzheimers for years, so you can be sure that I'm making sure that I don't put stuff into my body which wrecks HAVOC in the body/brain/cells/mitochondria/myelin sheath.

WHEN YOU KEEP FORGETTING PEOPLE'S NAMES, OR FORGETTING WHERE YOU PUT YOUR GLASSES OR YOUR CAR KEYS, DO YOU SAY "oh well, that's just old age!"???

If you say that, you're bringing on more of that, while you keep consuming poisonous fake oils that were made to lubricate MACHINERY.

#LetThemEatCakeWithTheirChemoToo
Why do they give chemo patients sugar-laden junk?
CANCER *THRIVES* ON SUGAR.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AND *ARE* BEING TOLD BY THEIR DOCTORS: "There's no cure for it" or "It's permanent", but THOUSANDS of these people are now thriving because they stopped using their bodies like garbage bins.

Does that sound a bit radical to you?
Well it IS fukkin radical.

I'm radically MAD AS HELL that I didn't know this information when my beautiful mammy was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at age 60.
If we had known this information she would have HAD THE CHOICE to TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

People might have scoffed at the suggestion of giving her a low-carb diet. Because afterall, "the diabetes nurse said..."

Dr. Gerson was curing people of cancer with a raw vegetable diet.
He was scoffed at. And bullied.
And silenced.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride reversed her daughter's AUTISM symptoms using her famous GAPS DIET.
She was ridiculed and scoffed at.

Dr. Ken Berry is helping people all around the world to reverse every type of diagnosis and get off meds in the process (as a SIDE AFFECT) by teaching and PRACTISING HIMSELF the elimination diet that saved Mikhaila Peterson's life. (Watch her BANNED Ted Talk).

Basically the latter elimination diet cuts out all the foods that HAVE BEEN KNOWN AND PROVEN to cause allergies in CERTAIN humans - and reintegrating them into your diet ONE BY ONE to see what your particular body tolerates.

Dr. Berry was SICK AND FAT AND PRE-DIABETIC and he knew he wasn't going to be able to raise his family properly nor help his patients if he was sick and unwell himself.

He tried an elimination diet for 30 days.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL RADICAL.

HE MADE A RADICAL CHANGE and now HE'S RADICALLY CHANGING THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

Dr. Joe Dispenza was told he would NEVER WALK AGAIN after his spine was crushed when he was run off his bicycle by a truck.
And then ran OVER.
HE VISUALISED his way back to WALKING.
You might scoff.
But THAT'S on you if you just did.

THE RADICAL THING IS THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE STOPPED BELIEVING "It's permanent", and "There's no cure for it!". And they changed.

P.S. There's no judgement in any of this. It took *me* FIFTY years to grasp this information and to stop slowly poisoning myself with silent killers.
P.P.S. Do you know what FOOD has one of the HIGHEST LEVELS OF CHOLESTEROL?
IT'S CAVIER. So while they give us CAKE with our CHEMO, and they tell us to eat POISONOUS PROCESSED FAKE OILS, SUCH AS CANOLA/VEGETABLE OIL/RAPESEED OIL/PALM &Co., along with maltodextrin and GMOs like oat, barley, wheat, corn starch/soy &Co. they're having their CHOLESTEROL-RICH CAVIER and eating it with their RIB-EYE STEAKS too.
P.P.P.S. The food pyrimid is UPSIDE DOWN.
P.P.P.P.S. Read the label. Or better still, cook from single item foods that you can SEE.
P.P.P.P.P.S. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS do it gradually over 4-6 weeks, to avoid flu-like symptoms of toxin dumping/andOr of OXALATE dumping.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. As with everything else, they always have been hiding it in PLAIN SIGHT.
LIKE IN THIS 1993 *CARTOON*.
Was it a warning, or was it just them LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF at us?

big FKn RANT about the modern food & medical INDUSTRIES aka The Cholesterol Lie

To metabolise ONE MOLECULE OF SUGAR, our body needs 56 MOLECULES OF MAGNESIUM, plus fat & protein, and this sugar molecule comes into our body like a villain, like a highway robber, and ROBS IT FROM OUR MUSCLES, FROM OUR BRAIN, FROM OUR FROM OUR BONES, FROM OUR HEART, and every one of those tissues will suffer and cause disease. (Also note that all processed carbs turn into sugar in the body, so we're not just talking about white table sugar)

Someone once said to me "How decadent!" when I described what my world music show was all about. And today while listening back to this show to write the playlist and this blog entry, it ocurred to me how true this is.

Playing music from my own record collection as I have been doing since the show was born on February 14th 2014 has been a way for me to record memories, and to share them with the world.

For example, in this show, the song "Sweet Lullaby" by Deep Forest, reminds me of a dear friend, Niall Guy, who I had the pleasure of meeting and having in my life for 7 years while we were studying languages and translation together in DCU, Dublin and in Germany.

I'll never forget your beautiful, welcoming, warm flat in James Connolly Tower, Ballymun, nor the brilliant parties we had with music and great tasty food, and great friends from all over the world. Lots of fun and frolicks and dancing in the kitchen was had!

Every time I hear or play the music you introduced me to Niall, I am catapulted gentley back to this beautiful time! "Flesh" by David Gray, and "Sweet Lullaby" being two of the ones I think of most when I think of you, then of course there is Rachid Taha!

And our beautiful friends who came to us on the wings of that lovely dove, Erasmus! Minou from Mulhouse in France, and Yolanda from Bilbao, and Oscar from Barcelona, and that guy from that South American country whose name (both the guy and the country) always seem to escape me, PARAGUAY!!! and our friends from Dublin/DCU, Brian, Mo, Karen, Martin Finke... AHHHHH! Pure heaven! I'm now listening to "Fill Fill a Rún Ó" (come back to me dearest), and all I have to do to bring you and your beautiful friendship back to me is record a new radio show, or do some work on an old show, and sure enough, you're all back - everyone you introduced me to Niall, and everyone I intorduced to you! And all the people I've met on my travels in this lifetime. Ahhh! The decadence! *And now I'm off to make some ketovore pancakes, because whenever I hear the word "decadence" I think of chocolate!

PEPE! (The guy from Paraguay!)

Rogha Bhríde ar Flirt FM 101.3 na Gaillimhe/Rogha Bhríde Radio Show 15th May 2024

Inniu in áit a bheith beo ar an aer le clár úr, agus in áit clár úr a thaifead sa bhaile agus a sheoladh isteach chuig Flirt FM na Gaillimhe, rinne muid athcraoladh ar chlár ón chartlann, agus ba é sin ná ar chlár a bhí ina cheol choirm a rinne mé leis an chlár sa "Cube" in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe i 2015 mar chuid de Fhéile Múscailt.

"Rogha Bhríde Beo - Ceol as Conamara" a thug mé ar an clár sin ag an am.
Ba iad mo chuid aíonna ná Batsheva Battu as Páras na Fraince/An Spidéal, Deirdre Nic Dhonncha as Cladhnach in aice leis an Cheathrú Rua (bhal, díreach trásna an droichead i ndiaidh "Tigh Khitt", áit ar bhuai mé le Deirdre don chéad uair thart ar 2011), agus Steve Sweeney as Dún na nGall (murach go raibh sé ag inse bréaga, agus measaim go raibh)/an Spidéal, agus mé féin ar an bhodhrán, an bhouzouki agus ag déanamh comhcheol le Batsheva agus le Deirdre ina gcuid amhrán.

Is rogha seort randamach a bhí ann pioctha ag muintir an raidió - is ceol choirm eile a bhí a chuardach agam, agus is seo an ceann a d'aimsigh siad, buíochas le Dia.

Beidh mé ag cur le seo níos moille le cóip den chlár agus cúpla grianghraf a glacadh ag an am, a bhuíochas le Fionnuala Gallagher, a bhí mar Oifigeach Ealaíona ar an Ollscoil ag an am.

Meeting Mr. Concertina & Mrs. Mr. Concertina in that Hotel that Day Last Week aka Tóg go bog é!

In my radio show this week which you can listen to above or below, I talked about the beautiful new friends I met just before recording the radio show. Mr. Concertina is from the North West of England, just below Newcastle if memory serves. Or did she say above it. Because it wasn't Mr. Concertina who told us. It was Mrs. Mr. Concertina who told us. And it was she too who told us that Mr. Concertina was Mr. Concertina. While he was gone to the bar or somewhere. Because up to this point all we knew was that the two people at the table next to us had the most lovely accents. Not the same but different. I myself especially loved Mrs. Mr. Concertina's accent. And Mrs. Mr. Concertina told me that Mr. Concertina wasn't only a concertina man, but also a dulcimer man. Not the hammer type, but the across-your-knee-and-plucked-with-your-fingernails type.

Just there now, I went over to my #ProverbialLIBRARIAN and I asked her to give me some info and pics of the knee-type dulcimer. Her info told me that they are also called a Mountain Dulcimer (which would make sense as you could just yank them over your shoulder and climb every mountain with them). They could also be called an Appalachian Dulcimer. And my #ProverbialLIBRARIAN also told me that it was played by that beaufiful American folk singer & songwriter called Jean Ruth Ritchie who was also known in some circles as the Mother of Folk. I'll play some of her songs for sure in an upcoming show! Yes and I motherfolking will!

In anyway, I really really really enjoyed the over-3-hours we spent chatting to Mr. & Mrs. Mr. Concertina. And I played some tunes (songs really) for you, and I played a few songs which were recommended to me by my good friend Fritz. And I'm sending love and good wishes to Germany to Gudrun, and I hope you'll come over and visit us soon.

And I played a request from myself to the beautiful singer and flute player and whistle player, Katie Theasby. And Katie, tóg go bog é! Everyone, tóg go bog é le bhur dtoill. Múch an teilifís. Caith uait na nuachtáin. Fág uait Facebook agus #eXtwitter mar a bheirim féin air, agus éist le huair a chloig de cheol deas réidh séimh mar atá i mo chlár raidió "Rogha Bhríde Radio Show - Ceol le muid a Chothú agus a Chneasú (MusicToNourish&Heal)".

With requests and love to Katie Theasby (Singer/musician), Concertina Man, Mrs. Concertina Man, und Fritz&Gudrun. Agus le ceol álainn ó/and w beautiful music from:
An Tor, Bube Dame Koenig, Lá Lugh, Sting (putting on his best bad Irish accent), Sandra Steinort mit Moremaids, Chris De Burgh, Altan, Sharon Shannon featuring #SinéadOConnor, The Byrds, Agus #MickJagger leis na Stoners.

Bain taitneamh agus tairbhe as! I hope you enjoy it!

🕰🕰🕰⌚️🕰
In October 2023, just around my 55th birthday, I visited my brother Pádraig up on the Hill. We sat looking across the bay at Muckish mountain and Errigle, and over at the Shandon Hotel where we had played music when we were kids. It was a gloriously sunny day. So warm. Pádraig gave me a present of a beautiful watch. He is mad about the watches and clocks and beautiful mechanisms of all sorts. He is a master carpenter as well, and a brilliant artist, so his creations are a mixture of all those loves he has. But in anyway, the day he gave me my watch, he told me he didn't have a new battery for it, but would put a battery in that still had some life in her, and that would keep me going until I got the chance to get a new battery. He told me that when a watch battery is at the end of its days, the wee second hand will hop about 5 or ten paces, rather than the usual 1 wee hop per second. I can't remember why he told me this happens, but he said it's a way of knowing that you will soon have to find a new battery.
In anyway, about 5 weeks ago I was in this brilliant shop. The type that has one of everything that you've ever needed for a household or farm. (Like Micky Joe's Country Store used to be, until Micky Joe handed it over to someone else. Ochón.) And I saw a wee battery that was the same size as my watch's one. But the number was different. So I asked the wee man if he thought the battery would do the wee jobby, even thought it wasn't the exact same kind. The wee man said yeah. (I didn't really totally believe that he totally knew, but I ran with it anyway, because even a few days of having my lovely watch work was better than no day).
I asked the wee man would he put the wee battery in for me, (I thought I deserved this, after his having tried to pull a blinder on me) . He obliged and I was delighted and I left with my wee bunch of things that you don't REALLY need in our household, but will make you very friggin' happy. In any event, the wee battery did a great job for about 3 weeks. And then it started doing the wee skippy thing and then it stopped, so then I KNEW. Yesterday I brushed past the watch sitting on my desk, and saw it was still stopped. (Never think never!). And JUST THERE NOW a wee while before noon today, I picked up the watch and put it in my pocket as a reminder to get a new battery. I went into my other wee room and looked at the clock and the clock said 11:57 and I thought, "that's odd!". So I took the wee watch out of my pocket and it said "11:57". And my heart skipped a wee beat and I thought "waow! You're working again!" but then I stared at it for ages to see if it would do the wee dance for me, and it didn't. So I guess that's just Ti-I-y-I'm having the craic with me.
I like it!

Slán go fóill agus bíodh lá deas agat duit féin!
