The day gets off to a slow start as you are finding yourself not feeling quite right – maybe not physically but perhaps emotionally or mentally or spiritually. Things will shift from there and you will find that your focus has changed somewhat. Do not be surprised if things that once interested you are no longer so engaging right now. There is much going on around you energetically and you are mirroring that in your inner emotions. This is a day for connections, so know what it is that belongs to you, know what you are connected to, and be grateful for those who support you.
There is no shortage of health advice out there, and no shortage of bad advice to go along with it. Some misguided notions are harmless—but others are outright dangerous and can lead you down the road to chronic health problems and may even trim years off your life.
It is critically important to decipher fact from fiction. Many nutrition myths get repeated over and over until they are mistaken for truth, especially when perpetually spread by public health authorities.
But the good news is that slowly, the real truth finally appears to be reaching mainstream audiences, as evidenced by the eagerness of satirists to take a jab at the food industry, as in the clever Coca-Cola parody featured below.
In an article addressing destructive nutrition lies, Kris Gunnars of Authority Nutrition[1] is among those admirably trying to bust the dangerous dietary myths that continue being spread by so many nutritionists.
I agree with the majority of his points, but have added a few others that I believe to be important. Read on for my own top 10 list, which builds upon his.
Lie #1: Breakfast Is the Healthiest Meal of the Day, and You Should Eat Many Small Meals a Day
There is now a good deal of research supporting the health benefits of intermittent fasting—which is what you are really doing whenever you zip out of the house in the morning without breakfast.
Recent studies suggest that intermittent fasting can provide the same health benefits as constant calorie restriction which many studies have shown to dramatically increase life span in animals. It may also be helpful for those who cannot successfully reduce their everyday calorie intake.
Besides turning you into an efficient fat burner, intermittent fasting can also boost your level of human growth hormone production (aka the “fitness hormone”) by as much as 1,200 percent for women and 2,000 percent for men.
Intermittent fasting and continuous calorie restriction have both been shown to produce weight loss and improve metabolic risk markers. However, intermittent fasting tends to be slightly more effective for reducing insulin resistance.
Other benefits include reducing inflammation, improving blood pressure, and increased lean body mass. Intermittent fasting can also improve your brain function by increasing levels of BDNF, a protein that protects your brain cells from the changes associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
There are several types of intermittent fasting to choose from, so I recommend experimenting to see what style works best for you. One of the easiest, however, is to simply skip breakfast, and limit your eating to a narrow window of time each day—say between 11am and 7pm, to start. You can review my more comprehensive article on intermittent fasting for more details.
The advice to “eat six small meals per day” comes from seemingly logical principles (portion control, keeping your energy up, stabilizing blood sugar, etc.), but in reality, eating this way has not been shown to provide these benefits. We seem to need periods of fasting for optimal metabolic function.
And if you think about it, our ancient ancestors never had access to a grocery store 24/7 and they went through regular periods of feast and famine. The problem is that most of us are in 24/7 feast mode. Implementing intermittent fasting is the quickest way I know of to jump start your body into burning fat as its primary fuel again.
Lie #2: Saturated Fat Causes Heart Disease
The dangerous recommendation to avoid saturated fat, which arose from anunproven hypothesis from the mid-1950s, has been harming people’s health for about 40 years now. As recently as 2002, the “expert” Food & Nutrition Board issued the following misguided statement, which epitomizes this myth:
“Saturated fats and dietary cholesterol have no known beneficial role in preventing chronic disease and are not required at any level in the diet.”
Similarly, the National Academies’ Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get 45-65 percent of their calories from carbohydrates, 20-35 percent from fat, and 10-35 percent from protein. This is the polar opposite of an ideal fat to carb ratio and virtually guarantees you a heightened risk of disease.
Most people benefit from a diet where 50-85 percent of daily calories are derived from healthful fats. However, you need very few, if any, carbohydrates for optimal health. Although that amount of fat may seem like a lot, fat is very calorie-dense, and will therefore still constitute the smallest amount, in terms of volume, on your plate.
The truth is, saturated fats from animal and vegetable sources provide the building blocks for your cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances, without which your body cannot function optimally.
Fats also serve as carriers for the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and are required for converting carotene into vitamin A, absorbing minerals, and a host of other important biological processes. Saturated fat is also the preferred fuel for your heart! Good sources of healthy fats to add to your diet include:
Avocados
Butter made from raw grass-fed organic milk
Raw dairy
Organic pastured egg yolks
Coconuts and coconut oil
Unheated organic nut oils
Raw nuts, especially macadamia, and raw seeds
Grass-fed and finished meats
Lie #3: High Omega-6 Seed and Vegetable Oils Are Good for You
Of all the health-destroying foods on the market, those made with highly processed vegetable and seed oils are some of the worst. When consumed in large amounts, as they are by most Americans, they seriously distort your important omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. In a perfect world, this ratio is 1:1—but the average American is getting 20 to 50 times more omega-6 fats than omega-3 fats. Excessive omega-6 fats from processed foods significantly increase your risk for heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other illnesses.
The cholesterol found in arterial plaque is oxidized, damaged cholesterol, which your immune system identifies as bacteria. In response, your immune system sends out macrophages to attack it, which creates inflammation inside your artery walls. A major factor driving heart disease is this oxidized cholesterol, which you introduce into your body every time you consume vegetable oils, or foods cooked in them.
Many vegetable and seed oils are also genetically engineered, which only compounds their health risk. More than 90 percent of US canola oil is GE. So what’s the best oil to cook with? Of all the available oils, coconut oil is the one of choice for cooking because it’s close to a completely saturated fat—meaning, much less susceptible to heat damage. And coconut oil is one of the most nutritionally beneficial fats. For more information about coconut oil, please see our special report. Olive oil, while certainly a healthful oil, is easily damaged by heat and is best reserved for drizzling cold over salad.
Lie #4: Artificial Sweeteners Are Safe Sugar Replacements for Diabetics, and Help Promote Weight Loss
Most people use artificial sweeteners to lose weight and/or because they are diabetic and need to avoid sugar. The irony is that nearly all of the studies to date show that artificial sweeteners cause even MORE weight gainthan caloric sweeteners. Studies also show that artificial sweeteners can be worse than sugar for diabetics.
In 2005, data gathered from the 25-year long San Antonio Heart Study showed that drinking dietsoft drinks increased the likelihood of serious weight gain much more so than regular soda.[2] On average, each diet soda the participants consumed per day increased their risk of becoming overweight by 65 percent within the next seven to eight years and made them 41 percent more likely to become obese. There are several possible reasons for this, such as:
Sweet taste alone appears to increase hunger, regardless of caloric content
Artificial sweeteners appear to perpetuate a craving for sweets, and overall sugar consumption is therefore not reduced, leading to further problems with weight control[3]
Artificial sweeteners may disrupt your body’s natural ability to “count calories,” as evidenced by multiple studies. For example, a Purdue University study found that rats fed artificially sweetened liquids ate more high-calorie food than rats fed high-caloric sweetened liquids.[4]
The list of health risks associated with artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame, continues to expand. I maintain an ongoing list of studies related to the detrimental effects of aspartame, which I recommend you review for yourself if you are still on the fence. I invite you to watch my aspartame video, as well.
Lie #5: Soy Is a Health Food
The meteoric rise of soy as a “health food” is a perfect example of how a brilliant marketing strategy can fool millions. But make no mistake—unfermented soy products are NOT healthful additions to your diet, regardless of your age or gender. I am not opposed to all soy—properly fermented and preferably organic soy, such as tempeh, miso, and natto, offer great health benefits, courtesy of the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) the fermentation process produces.
Thousands of studies have linked unfermented soy to a number of health problems, however. More than 90 percent of American soy crops are also genetically engineered, which only compounds its health risks.[5] If you find this information startling, then I would encourage you to review some of the articles on my Soy Page. The following table lists a number of the damaging health effects science has linked to unfermented soy:
Breast cancer
Brain damage and cognitive impairment
Heart disease
Thyroid disorders
Kidney stones
Immune dysfunction
Severe, potentially fatal food allergies
Malnutrition
Digestive problems
Problems with pregnancy and breastfeeding
Reproductive disorders and impaired fertility
Developmental abnormalities in infants
Lie #6: Whole Grains Are Good for Everyone
The use of whole grains is an easy subject to get confused about, especially for those with a passion for health annutrition. For the longest time, we’ve been told that whole grains are highly beneficial. Unfortunately, ALL grains can elevate your insulin and leptin levels, even whole grains and organic varieties—and elevated insulin/leptin increases your risk of chronic disease. This is especially true if you already struggle with insulin/leptin resistance, which would manifest as high blood pressure, distorted cholesterol ratios, being overweight, or diabetes).
It has been my experience that more than 85 percent of Americans have trouble controlling their insulin and leptin levels and have one or more of the symptoms listed above. You may be one of those if you struggle to maintain an ideal body weight and body composition, tend to accumulate fat around you belly, or have a suboptimal lipid profile. In fact, insulin/leptin dysregulation is a common indicator for many of the diseases so prevalent today, such as diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and cancer.
Many whole grains also contain gluten, which is a common trigger for allergies and sensitivities. Subclinical gluten intolerance is far more common than you might think, with symptoms that are not always obvious. I strongly recommend eliminating or at least restricting grains from your diet, as well as sugars/fructose, especially if you have any of the conditions listed above. As a general rule, the higher your insulin levels are, the greater your grain restriction should be.
#7: Genetically Engineered Foods Are Safe and Comparable to Conventional Foods
Genetic engineering (GE) of our food may be the most dangerous aspect of our food supply today. I strongly recommend that you avoid ALL GE foods. Since more than 90 percent of the corn and 95 percent of the soy grown in the US are GE, then you can count on virtually every processed food having at least one GE component if it doesn’t bear the “USDA 100% Organic” or non-GMO label. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of them is that the crops are saturated with one of the most dangerous herbicides on the market, glyphosate, to the tune of nearly a billion pounds per year. This toxic chemical can’t be washed off as it becomes integrated into nearly every cell of the plant, and then gets transferred into your body.
No one knows exactly what will be the ultimate impact of these foods on your health, particularly over the long term. Animal studies have pointed to increased disease, infertility, and birth defects as the top contenders. The first-ever lifetime feeding study showed a dramatic increase in organ damage, cancer, and reduced lifespan. It’s important to realize that, unless you’re buying all organic food or growing your own, you’re probably consuming GE foods on a daily basis. In order to avoid as many GE foods as possible, be aware that the following common crops are likely to be GE unless otherwise labeled:
Corn
Canola
Alfalfa
Soy
Cottonseed
Sugar from sugar beets
Zucchini
Crookneck squash
Hawaiian papaya
Lie #8: Eggs Are Bad for Your Heart
Eggs are one of the most demonized foods in the US… thanks to the cholesterol myth. The misguided belief that cholesterol, such as in egg yolks, will give you heart disease is simply untrue (see Lie #1). Studies have shown that eggs do NOT have a detrimental impact on cholesterol levels and are actually one of the most healthful foods you can eat. In one Yale study,[6] participants were asked to consume two eggs daily for six weeks. Researchers found that this egg consumption did not spike cholesterol levels and did not have a negative effect on endothelial function, a measure of cardiac risk.
Choose pasture-raised organic eggs, and avoid “omega-3 eggs” as this is not the proper way to optimize your omega-3 levels. To produce these omega-3 eggs, the hens are usually fed poor-quality sources of omega-3 fats that are already oxidized. Omega-3 eggs are also more perishable than non-omega-3 eggs. Some of the many nutritional benefits of eggs are summarized for you in the table below.
One egg contains six grams of high quality protein and all nine essential amino acids
Beneficial for eye health due to lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants in your lens and retina that help prevent eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts
Good source of choline, a member of the vitamin B family (essential for nervous system, cardiovascular system, and prenatal brain development)
Vitamin D: eggs are one of the few foods that contains naturally occurring vitamin D (24.5 grams)
Sulfur (essential component of glutathione, also promotes healthy hair and nails)
Many other vitamins and minerals (B vitamins, vitamins A and E, calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc)
Lie #9: Low-Fat Foods Prevent Obesity and Heart Disease
Conventional recommendations over th
e past 40 years or more have called for drastically decreasing the overall fat in your diet, but this fat aversion is a driving force behind today’s metabolic dysfunction, obesity, and ill health. As discussed earlier, most people need between 50 and 85 percent of their calories from fats—a far cry form the less than 10 percent from saturated fat recommended by the USDA!7 Kris Gunnars stated it quite nicely:8
“The first dietary guidelines for Americans were published in the year 1977, almost at the exact same time the obesity epidemic started. Of course, this doesn’t prove anything (correlation does not equal causation), but it makes sense that this could be more than just a mere coincidence.
The anti-fat message essentially put the blame on saturated fat and cholesterol (harmless), while giving sugar and refined carbs (very unhealthy) a free pass. Since the guidelines were published, many massive studies have been conducted on the low-fat diet. It is no better at preventing heart disease, obesity or cancer than the standard Western diet, which is as unhealthy as a diet can get.”
Let’s face it, if low-fat diets worked, the United States would be the healthiest nation on the planet—folks have been following them since the late 1970s! But if you look at the following graph, you can see that America’s waistline has done nothing but expand since then. There’s no telling how many people have been prematurely killed by following these flawed guidelines. Yet, despite mounting research to the contrary, low-fat diets are stillbeing pushed as “heart healthy” by the majority of nutritionists, cardiologists, and the like.
Lie #10: Carbs Should Be Your Biggest Source of Calories
I have already covered how insulin resistance is a key factor in disease (see Lie #4). A diet high in non-fiber carbohydrates—particularly processed grains and sugar—leads directly to insulin and leptin resistance. When your highest percentage of calories comes from healthful fats, these problems just don’t exist. Most high-carb diets are high in sugar and starch, not vegetables. When the low-fat mantra swept over the country, the high-carb craze soon followed. When fat was removed from foods, something had to be added back in to make foods more palatable—and that something was sugar. Particularly, highly concentrated forms of fructose, such as high fructose corn syrup, which spell metabolic disaster for your body.
With fat being the identified villain (albeit falsely accused), sugar was completely ignored—even though sugar was the real culprit behind inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and heart disease. America’s love of sugar was a boon to the processed food industry—which added fructose to practically everything from soup to nuts… literally. If you want to see what effects this had on the country’s health and belt size, just turn on your national news.
A high-carb diet disrupts your insulin and leptin signaling, and over time may very well result in type 2 diabetes. By contrast, a diet higher in beneficial fats corrects these metabolic issues. Recent research has demonstrated that the ketogenic diet—one marked by carbohydrate restriction and substantial healthful fats—extended the lifespan of mice by 20 percent, because it optimized their insulin sensitivity and other metabolic processes. There is evidence that low carbohydrate diets, combined with appropriate amounts of protein, can even slow down Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
Now for the #1 Truth…
The more you can eat like your ancestors, the better—fresh whole foods, locally and sustainably raised, and foods that are minimally processed or not processed at all. These are the types of foods that your genes and biochemistry are adapted to and will provide you with the ability to reverse and prevent most diseases. You will find these at your local farmer’s market, food co-op, or in your own backyard garden. And you will be amazed at the positive changes you’ll see in your health when you “clean up” your diet! Be wary of nutritional advice from mainstream “experts” as it may not be based on science—or based on bad information that is several decades outdated. Truthful, accurate information is your number one weapon in taking control of your health.
All colors have a unique frequency and wavelength, and many believe that colors are powerful healing tools that hold promise in medical applications. Yet, today, it is uncommon to find people who embrace the healing potential of colored light, and it’s unlikely that your mainstream medical doctor would even acknowledge the potential of color therapy. This was not always the case, however.
The technology for color-therapy, the Spectro-Chrome, was developed in 1923 and used for over 20 years in the United States. It may have predicated advancements in color therapy, but we shall never know for sure, as it was it deemed pseudoscience and wiped out by the US federal government who outlawed it and confiscated and destroyed all privately-owned machines were confiscated and under the supervision of US Federal Marshalls. Its creator, Dinshah P. Gadiali was issued a federal indictment and ordered to destroy all of his research materials, thus putting an end to his life’s work and the future of light therapy research.
Light Therapy in Today’s World
There is, in fact, an established medical treatment, known as phototherapy, that utilizes lightwaves to improve patient wellness. The treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is one example, and patients who suffer from this type of depression are exposed to bright light while comfortably seated. Another example of the use of phototherapy is the treatment of newborns with prolonged signs of jaundice. The baby is placed under a halogen or fluorescent lamp (with their eyes covered to prevent damage) to help to lower the bilirubin levels in the baby’s blood (which gives the jaundiced baby’s skin its yellowish/orange hue). Phototheraphy is also used in the treatment of other skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
If phototherapy is effective, at least in these cases, is there potential in color light therapy?
The Hidden History of the Spectro-Chrome
The Spectro-Chrome reached the height of its popularity in the 1940’s and 50’s when many mainstream physicians used them in thousands of clinics in the U.S. The machine was designed with the premise that light fuels all life on planet Earth, and thus could also serve as “food” for the human body.
The Spectro-Chrome was simple. It had 5 strictly tinted glass plates and an incandescent bulb behind them. A patient would be exposed to colored light using a specific combination of the 5 colored plates while lying in a dark room for a one-hour session. The light could be cast over the entire body or over a specific area that was matched up almost precisely with the meridian lines and points used by in Traditional Chinese Medicine such as acupuncture.
On July 14, 1951, a full-bore FBI raid on Danishah’s clinic removed every one of his machines and destroyed them with sledge hammers. After a long court battle, Danishah was sentenced to three years in prison and the Spectro-Chrome machine continues to be an illegal device under a permanent federal injunction.
The Spectro-Chrome was easy to reproduce, and could be built and used without a high monetary investment or advanced scientific knowledge. With proper training it was easy to understand and use which is why some believe it was considered a threat to the American Medical Association (AMA) and its financial backers, the Rockefellers.
It is believed by some that the AMA and the Rockefellers, who developed strong alliances with drug companies in the early 1900’s, suppressed Dinshah’s Spectro-Chrome machine and several other medical inventions of the early 20th century the tecnology posed a threat to Rockefeller’s interests in pharmaceuticals. Other similar cases of suppressed medical technologies and persecution of their inventors by the Rockefeller cartel include the Rife machine, developed by Royal Raymond Rife as a treatment for cancer, and the orgone accumulator, created by Wilhelm Reich and allegedly capable of harnessing the health benefits of cosmic energy.
You can learn more about the Spectro-Chrome and how it functions in the book, Let There Be Light, written by Ghadiali Dinshah’s son Darius Dinshah.
Modern Color Therapy
Color and light, when magnified and concentrated, can have a significant effect on the human body. Recent research into light and color therapy proves that Dinshah Gadiali may have been way ahead of his time. Educated by Hindu and Vedic teachers, Dinshah believed in the aetheric body, or aura, and the entangled connection it has with the physical body. He understood that restoring balance to one’s aura using light and color can heal the physical body and spirit.
Since the turn of the millennium, numerous studies have been conducted by respected medical organizations that give validity Dinshah’s theories and to the potential healing power of light and color. Here are some examples:
Most modern medical doctors would still consider color therapy to be quackery or pseudoscience, although it is becoming more commonly available in holistic centers, used by hypnotherapists, and incorporated into other alternative healing modalities.
One of the most outspoken practitioners of color therapy and user of a modern version of the Spectro-Chrome Machine, Dr. Kate Baldwin, believed that color therapy is capable of providing marvelous healing results.
“For centuries scientists have devoted untiring effort to discover a means for the relief or cure of human ills and restoration of the normal functions. Yet in neglected light and color there is a potency far beyond that of drugs and serums. Color is the simplest and most accurate therapeutic measure yet developed. I can produce quicker and more accurate results with colors than with any or all other methods combined—and with less strain on the patient.” ~ Kate Baldwin MD and member of the AMA
This is not a good time to take anything for granted. This is not a time for missing what is right in front of your face. The obvious oftentimes has much more hidden within it that you are aware of. And right now, you could really use some clarification, so stick with the obvious, take things one at a time, trust your intuition, and know that everything will work out. It may be hard to accept that given all the stuff you are dealing with. It can seem as though there is just too much to deal with and that help is not at hand, but step back, get some perspective, and you can see that organization and prioritization will get you through.

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Response to Claims of New Eruption
FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA –The National Park Service has received numerous inquiries about the possibility of current volcanic activity at Sunset Crater Volcano. The internet source of the purported eruption is based upon a black and white satellite image. The report is not from an academic source or part a scientific agency, such as the United States Geological Survey. Furthermore, no activity has been observed on the ground by park rangers staffing the National Monument.
Sunset Crater Volcano, part of the San Francisco Volcanic Field, is an extinct cinder cone. Local cinder cones are created by a one-time eruption event and are not known to erupt more than once. Sunset Crater Volcano erupted over 900 years ago, making it the youngest cinder cone in a field of over 600 volcanoes. It is now extinct, and not anticipated to erupt again.
According to many geologists, the San Francisco Volcanic Field is still considered to be active, so it’s possible that an eruption could occur during the next 1,000 to 5,000 years somewhere east of Flagstaff, Arizona. Come visit Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument to see for yourself and learn more about your park.

The National Park Service , and the main stream media — just like in 2011, taking the time to address a video on youtube, or a website post just because it’s trending on social media?!
To add insult to ignorance, they’re trying to say that I think an ERUPTION is going to take place. SMH. Guess they didn’t read to the bottom of the post they’re slamming…. clearly it says I think the threat of a larger EARTHQUAKE is showing, not for an eruption. LOL@ that screwup on their part.
Update : At least 4 climbers were injured but this number may increase as the rescue operations continue. Mountain huts have been badly damaged. The mountain climbing area has no been closed for further climbing out of fear for aftershocks
Update : There are reports that a number of climbers in the nearby mountains were injured but we have no details of the numbers and the kind of injury they succumbed so far.
Update : as you can see on the video below, Ranau (Borneo) got a lot of damage
Update : Max Wyss expects 0-200 injured people and 0 to 10 fatalities (theoretical simulation)
12km (7mi) WNW of Ranau, Malaysia
40km (25mi) SSE of Kota Belud, Malaysia
52km (32mi) ENE of Donggongon, Malaysia
54km (34mi) E of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
214km (133mi) NE of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
Most important Earthquake Data:

Things are pretty much on hiatus for the morning; so do not expect to get a lot done. As the day wears on, however, there is a change in the atmosphere and stuff truly begins to speed up. You can find yourself being motivated again, even excited about things. There is something new coming your way, and you are really ready for it. Do not worry about missing it, for this time it will truly find you. You have moved forward a lot in understanding just what things are and how they are related, but now you can find yourself feeling a bit perplexed. Do not worry. There is a shift to a new perspective coming and these feelings are part of it. There is something special in the day for you, so be ready.
Another dormant volcano is showing seismic activity in the Western United States.
A rare M2.7 earthquake struck in North Arizona at the long dormant Uinkaret volcanic field. The last eruption of this volcano occurred nearly 1,000 years ago (1100 A.D.).
The Markagunt volcanic plateau also has been dormant for approximately 1,000 years.
Both long dormant volcanic areas have been hit by earthquakes in the past few days, which is certainly a sign of greater unrest in the region, and possibly a sign of another larger West Coast seismic event coming in the near term.
Just as we were expecting, after a series of dormant volcanoes showed activity in Arizona, Utah, and California —- now another noteworthy earthquake has occurred off the shores of Oregon.
We should also make note on the location of these Oregon earthquakes.
The undersea Cleft Volcanic field is located at the South tip of the Juan De Fuca fault zone (South of the newly erupting Axial Seamount volcano by 100 miles… and 4 miles from the nearest undersea volcanic cone).
Above: Screenshot of the largest Oregon earthquake from the swarm (5.9 magnitude on June 1 2015) , which struck 4 miles from what is clearly an unnamed undersea volcano.
Currently there is an eruption occurring at the Axial Seamount Volcano. The media announced that new lava flows were occurring off the shores of Oregon at this Axial seamount location (100 miles North of the current Earthquake swarm).
With this NEW swarm of earthquakes occurring about 100 miles South of the Axial Volcano, and the fact that the events are falling directly on the flanks of a large undersea volcanic cone, this means the Oregon movement should be considered volcanic related.
Add in the other dormant volcanoes showing earthquake activity in the past 48 hours across California, Arizona, and Utah, and we can begin to get a greater picture of what type of activity to expect going forward.
Each time we see pressure showing at the dormant volcanoes on the West coast, we see follow up activity to the NORTHWEST of the dormant volcanoes which show movement. The more movement we see at the dormant volcanoes = the larger magnitude of the coming West coast earthquake.
When you see a flurry of 2.5M to 3.0M+ earthquakes at the dormant West coast volcanoes, expect at least a single 4.0M+ in the Northwest off the coast of North California, Oregon into Washington State (Gorda Escarpment to Juan De Fuca region).
If you see a flurry of larger 3.0M+ to low 4.0M+ earthquakes at dormant volcanoes on the West coast.. watch for an even larger 5.0M to 6.0M in the Northwest United states.
Unless something changes, I will be applying this “new rule” to the earthquake forecasts going forward. There appears to usually be a 1-2 day window between the dormant volcanoes moving, and the larger event off the West coast happening.
A 1-2 day possible warning for West coast movement?! Looks like it might be so! Only time will tell, and several repeat events to document before I can say for certain.
I was watching for new movement to hit Oregon again due to the dormant volcanoes moving over the past 48 hours.
Oregon quieted off over the past 24 hours, and now it was hit again after those dormant volcanoes moved. Thus, this dormant volcano / West coast earthquake “connection” needs to be monitored to see if it’s just coincidence, or does it happen almost every time?

Information on the magnitude 4.0 off the coast of Oregon, from the USGS:
Listen to the sounds in the air. Be aware of odors as they come and go. Watch the play of shadows on the ground. There are messages in all of these. There are questions right now that really need to be answered, and yes, the answers are there. It is just that you have been blocking yourself from the information. There is certainly a good bit of distraction about right now, and that is why it is important to focus, focus, focus. If things do not seem quite right, then look again, go within, listen to what your intuition is saying. There is wisdom there. Right now the messages you are getting might seem a bit crazy, but they will make more sense as the week progresses.
Only time will tell, and several repeat events to document before I can say for certain.
