Golf Health - What is CBD? CBD is short for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring substance found in the hemp and marijuana plants. It is most prevalent in the flower of the plant but small amounts of it can be found in the leaves, stems and stalks. CBD is one of over 100 beneficial compounds (also known as cannabinoids) found in the cannabis plant. When the cannabis plant has a low amount (less than 0.3%) of THC, the psychoactive compound mostly associated with the marijuana plant, it is defined as Hemp. When the THC levels are over 0.3%, the cannabis plant is defined as Marijuana. How does it work? The human body and the body of dogs, cats and many other animals all produce cannabinoids. When produced inside the body, they are referred to as endo-cannabinoids. Cannabinoids interact with your body through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a collection of receptors, categorized as either CB1 or CB2 receptors, which are scattered throughout the body. These endocannabinoids are used to regulate a variety of body sensitivities, including pain, inflammation, appetite, anxiety, sleep, and others. The primary purpose of the endocannabinoid system is to maintain balance or homeostasis, which is the key to avoiding many health issues. Ways to take
High Falls Hemp offers three ways to take CBD each day: tinctures, softgels and lotions. 1. You take our tincture under the tongue. When CBD is taken under the tongue, it enters the bloodstream more quickly — and in a higher concentration. 2. Softgels are also taken orally with water or juice. When ingested, the effect may take longer because it has to go through the digestive system. 3. Our lotion can be applied topically where needed to give a target delivery. When applied topically, CBD may help to alleviate pain, soreness, inflammation.
Dosing
Everyone is different in their response to CBD. We recommend the following doses for a moderate effect based on a person’s weight 1. 80-120 lbs - 10mg 2. 120-190 lbs - 25mg 3. 190+ lbs - 50mg Some people respond quicker than others, and the effect is usually gradual. If you think you need a stronger dose of CBD, increase your dosage and frequency until you find what works for you.

Taking Control of Your OWN Health Care - 9 Simple Steps
There is no end to health care in the news today as everyone is looking to their elected officials to solve the problem. You have the power to take control of our own health!
There is no end to information on the internet on living healthy but that often leaves you confused and overwhelmed.
There are 9 simple steps to a healthier you that can be started today:
Eat as much whole food as you can. Organic when available! This means foods without an ingredients list! Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and meats! +90% of your food intake should come from whole foods! Cut sugar intake from non-whole foods down to less than 20 grams a day. You are most likely eating over 100 grams a day right now when you add up all the added sugars in processed foods, FRUIT JUICES & sodas. This does not mean you should switch to artificial sweeteners! When you cut sugar intake down over a few months you will see how little you need to be satisfied! Get your Vitamin D3 levels back up. Get a good quality Vitamin D3/K2 supplement. 2000IU of D3 a day keeps you at the level you are currently at. If your D3 levels are already low then you need to start at 5000IU or 10,000IU a day. Your doctor can run a blood test to see what your levels are at. As you get older your body quickly lowers its ability to produce D3 from the Sun! I take 5000IU a day. Earthing/Grounding is a great way to lower body inflammation by reducing free radicals in your body. Free radicals from fried foods and other sources bounce around your body causing inflammation. This is pure science as static electricity discharges from your body are free radicals escaping! This is why you feel so good after a beach vacation! More info available at: http://www.earthing.com/pages/what-is-earthing Use high quality organic coconut oil for cooking. Most oils break down thus creating ingestible free radicals(see above). Coconut oil does not break down at a higher cooking heat. Get a good probiotic into your diet on a daily basis. Whether this is a supplement or a fermented food/drink like kombucha or fermented veggies & fermented pickles. If you feel you are coming down with a stomach illness it is best to triple your intake of these supplements or foods. Anti inflammatory supplements - Fish Oil, Tumeric and Organic Tart Cherry juice. Give your body extra protection against inflammation with these options. Most diseases and illnesses are caused by inflammation in your body damaging cells which are then attacked. Take one oscillococcinum a week during the flu season. Reduce inflammation with a daily CBD supplement. Use an oil or creme directly on injured or sore muscles.
One thing to note is that the body uses viruses(cold & flu) to clean out dead, damaged and dying cells in your body. Viruses attach themselves to damaged cells and kill them which is the phlegm that comes out when you are sick. The more work that needs to be done the longer you are sick with a virus. Diseases use these damaged cells to propagate themselves that is why your body clears them out by being sick with a virus. Keep your body healthy and immune system strong and your body will not need to use a virus to clear itself.
Even with this simpler cleaner lifestyle you may feel a cold or flu coming on. Learn how to stop colds and the flu in their tracks with our natural hack

Health: Stopping Colds & Flu at the onset - Naturally
When you feel a cold or flu coming on it is best to attack it head on! Most medications just mask the symptoms. What I do when I start feeling sick and continue for at least 4-5 days. In most case you will skip the sickness & full time stuffiness and have a couple of days of just clearing out your nose and throat. Just like the ‘feeling better’ days of after bad illness.
Big glass of water with 2 or 3 EmergenC packets 3 times a day. Triple my intake of vitamin D3/K2 combined . 5-10,000 IU pills. 10 drops of Lomatium Isolate in a drink 3 times a day. The first time you take this you may get a minor rash as your body clears out all sorts of viruses. Lomatium is one of the best virus killers! Take Echinacea (2 - 4x a day) and Elderberry supplements Hydrogen Peroxide soaked in each ear for 5 minutes helps kill off any viruses feeding into your body from your ear canal. Take one oscillococcinum a day.
Teaspoon of Manuka Honey 3x a day to prevent an secondary infection like bronchitis
Make sure to keep up with this regimen for at least 4-5 days until you are completely in the clear and feeling 100%.

New Alex Interview with The National.ie + New Portraits of Alex by Aaron Richter!
Alexander Skarsgård on finding the humanity even in the darkest villains
Dan Krauss’ fictionalised adaptation of his 2014 documentary ‘The Kill Team’ revolves around the murder of innocent Middle East civilians by US soldiers
In recent years Alexander Skarsgård has found himself repeatedly portraying and excelling as dark and sinister characters. From his Emmy Award-winning work in the first season of Big Little Lies to his turns in The Diary of a Teenage Girl, War on Everyone, and Hold the Dark, Skarsgård has always managed to show the humanity in individuals – even the most disturbing and depraved.
Rather than just looking for evil figures to play, though, Skarsgård tells The National there’s a combination of factors that ultimately help him decide whether to take a part. “It’s the character, the script and the filmmaker. If I am excited about all three it is something I should jump in and take a chance on.”
Being fascinated by the dark and disturbing That’s exactly why he decided to take on The Kill Team, Dan Krauss’s fictionalised adaptation of his 2014 documentary of the same name, which revolves around the murder of innocent Middle Eastern civilians by US soldiers commanded by Skarsgård’s character, Sergeant Deeks.
Skarsgård was “fascinated” by just how “dark and disturbing” The Kill Team documentary was, which was only enhanced when he read the script for the feature film and began to immediately envision and build Deeks in his mind. “Deeks has a complexity that I found really interesting. Dan had avoided tropes and stereotypes in the script and Deeks wasn’t the classic archetypical villain,” he explains. “That’s what got me very excited about it.”
Tapping into Skarsgård’s tremendous presence Skarsgård was always Krauss’s first choice to play Deeks. So what was it that the director saw in the Swedish actor that he wanted to tap into for The Kill Team? “He has a tremendous presence, physically, psychologically and emotionally,” says Krauss, who decided to keep Skarsgård separated from the rest of the young cast, which included Nat Wolff and Adam Long, so that their awe and respect for Skarsgård could really be felt on screen when he first appears.
Skarsgård admits that he stayed on his own for the first few weeks of production, especially when the other actors were enduring their own “two-week boot camp.” However, once they’d shot his opening sequence, where he is introduced to the other soldiers, he decided to mingle with the likes of Wolff and Long. In fact, Skarsgård found it helpful to socialise, get to know and have a good time with the other actors over dinners and talks, because they were filming such “intense” scenes and covering such “intense subject matter.”
How does Skarsgård prepare? It didn’t take long for Krauss to be in awe of the work, preparation and talent Skarsgård brought to the film. Krauss recalls Skarsgård thinking “deeply about every scene” and constantly asking, “Where was the character before this moment? Where was he after?”
This preparation meant Skarsgård could formulate a number of ideas about Deeks’ uniform, movements, barracks and even the shape and size of his mustache. So much so that Krauss admits Skarsgård took complete control of the character, and the director was more than happy to stand back and respect this ownership because he recognised that he is very much his own “storyteller at heart.”
“I think that is what makes him such a talented actor, and his experiences make him such a wonderful storyteller. Everything he does as an actor is informed by advancing the story. He is thinking a lot about narrative in his process. Smartly, too. That is a gift for a director,” Krauss says.
Moving away from the darkness to Godzilla vs Kong But while Skarsgård clearly thrives, playing such complex and nefarious characters, he’ll next be seen as a more charming figure in the huge Hollywood blockbuster Godzilla vs Kong, due out in March next year. While Skarsgard was never afraid of being pigeonholed, he is the first to admit that he initially considered Godzilla vs Kong because he “had done a row of quite dark and intense characters” and wanted to try something different. Ultimately, though, it was the opportunity to work with director Adam Wingard – who he describes as smart, lovely and incredible with actors – that actually made him sign up. “When he reached out, the tone of the genre and the movie is much different to the smaller, darker movies I have done. It was a character I was really ready to play. It is a character that is very likeable,” Skarsgård says.
Following on from his recent comedic turn opposite Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in Long Shot, Godzilla vs Kong gives Skarsgård another chance to bring some levity to a film. Which he does a lot “because even though he is the protagonist of a big action movie he is not a hero or ex-marine. He doesn’t even have the tools to deal with what he is up against. He is just a geologist that is thrown into this world”, Krauss says.
Skarsgård immediately found this both interesting and appealing, especially as he the main protagonists of big action films are usually “quite boring” to him. What also sealed the deal was the fact Wingard and the creative team over at Legendary Studios were open to re-writing and re-shaping the character specifically for him.
Throughout its production, which wrapped a couple of months ago, and which Skarsgård calls a “great experience with great people”, he was given the freedom and room “to explore the humanity” of his unlikely hero, which he believes will be integral to making Godzilla vs Kong work.
“People come to these movies to see these big action set pieces, but if it isn’t rooted in real characters you are invested in, that you care about, then the movie doesn’t work.”
All of which proves that whether he is playing an abusive husband, murderous soldier or a geologist trying to save the world from monsters, Skarsgård’s preparation, detail and dedication is so impressive and inspiring that it has rightfully turned him into one of the most sought after actors of his generation.
