Gratitude

Do you know them ?

These are some of my personal heroes...

There are many names today we are all familiar with, Gerson, Cordain, Saul, Campbell-McBride, Mercola, Whitaker, Sears, LaLonde, Wolf, Masterjohn, Kresser, Yasko, Sisson, Gedgaudas, etc...

But we owe a debt of gratitude to those who came before us, paving the way for the legitimacy of nutrition as a true SCIENCE, not programmed dietary nonsense from those who would have us sick and debilitated... eating cheap crap grown in contaminated human waste, buying hidden GMO's, and taking their "medicines"...

It is time for us to "stand up and be counted"...







HEAVY METAL TOXICITY...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't even know where to begin with this subject...          

 

From amalgam fillings to recycled human "waste" to "organic" food grown near highways...

THERE IS NO ESCAPING EXPOSURE TO THIS NIGHTMARE... as if nuclear pollution and GMO's aren't enough to deal with...  Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, et al... unseen toxic substances that cause a myriad of DEADLY serious consequences for ALL living beings...  add to this mess "genetic susceptibility" and geometric toxicity, and you have a recipe for a world of tomorrow where NO ONE is immune, NO ONE is "healthy".

 JUST SAY NO TO GMO's

 

 

 

 

   YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT !!!!       I cannot scream this loud enough... the GREATEST threat, to you and this planet, is NOT Climate Change, Pollution, War, or Congress... it is GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS !

SUPPLEMENTS, et al, or...           GAG ME WITH ANOTHER PILL !

 

 

 

I really never saw this one coming... but one of my friends started in on the same old dialogue... "It's just expensive (albeit colorful) urine..."  Yeah, well...  NO !!!

 

There are several factors to consider when considering (non-prescription) supplementation... My view is fairly simple and straightforward...

 

I take a dozen or so daily supplements on a regular basis, and another dozen or so, as necessary...

 

Why ? First of all because there is little guarantee that you are getting the "full" nutritional value from your food, for several reasons... including the lack of nutrients available in the soil (which affects both plants, AND the animals that eat them). If you are eating REAL, then processing should not be a significant factor, but elapsed time & storage need to be considered... Also, most of us don't eat the same thing at every meal, every day... so most of the vitamins, etc., aren't necessarily covered, and, I don't see a lot of people who eat the ENTIRE food, like I'll bet we used to... when I eat an apple, I eat the ENTIRE apple (the seeds of which contain a minute amount of cyanide, which intestinal parasites despise)... I've even been known to eat the peel of my "little cuties" (vit. C, bioflavonoids, d-limonene)... but I haven't mastered eating the entire bone in my steak (S, Si, K, Mg, P, etc.), or the peel of my pomegranate (PPE). I also don't crush and eat the shells of my oysters (Ca), nor do I eat dirt (microbes). Are ya kinda getting the picture ?

 

NOW, worst-case scenario... I actually eliminate the majority of my intake of supplements... that simply means my body did not need them, or could not utilize them at that moment... GREAT !!!

I'd rather play the odds that I am OVER-consuming nutrients, than be DEFICIENT in them....

CANCER...

 

Stepping out of the box, an issue I must discuss... this is very personal to me...

 

 

 

I hope this young woman will forgive me for using her picture...

My mother... 

From about the age of eight, for four years, I watched her go from a beautiful young woman, to a human vegetable, all because of CANCER... it also took her three sisters, my grandmother, etc...

And now to find out that this was a man-made plague on mankind...

The people responsible NEED to be brought to JUSTICE...

I have railed against vaccinations as long as I have been a nutritionist. Now, the truth comes out...

   If you are not familiar with Suzanne Sommers, another one of my heroes, you should be... she has written twenty or more books, including her own personal battle with cancer... CANCER need no longer be the "death sentence" it was... NUTRITION is absolutely essential in treating a cancer diagnosis. I cannot make medical referrals, but I can suggest you read up on these doctors...

Wandering down the PRIMAL path...

 

    For those of you who have made the switch to Paleo, and are not dairy intolerant, you may wish to consider going Primal... or, in other words, Paleo plus dairy...

Many paleo followers actually "cheat" in this direction by using butter as part of their "program". Even many lactose intolerant individuals (such as myself) find they have no problem with "fermented" organic dairy such as cottage cheese, sour cream, yoghurt, kefir, and normal cheese (whatever that is... lol). Raw milk from cows or goats can often be tolerated as well...

Oh, and did I forget to mention ICE-CREAM ???

    It is important however, to first make the switch to Paleo BEFORE going Primal, as this sets the body in a ketotic state before having to deal with potential milk sugar related issues, among others. In doing so, there will not be confusion involved in determining dietary "boundaries".    God I love my chocolate ice-cream... lol...

 

(editor's note:

  Since posting this, I have received several comments which, since they are of value to the general layman, I will share with my readers...

Going "Primal", which is the addition of dairy products to the general paleo diet, has certain parameters which one needs to be aware of. "Dairy", in America, vs. elsewhere in the world, can be problematic, to say the least. Between the reality of "mass-production" factory farming, the feeding of dairy cattle grains, massive overuse of antibiotics, pasteurization, homogenization, etc., can contribute to dairy "intolerance" in many individuals that might not have occurred had the dairy been fresh, raw, from natural grass-fed dairy cows. In addition, if that were not complicated enough, there are numerous other factors that one needs to consider as well... are you allergic to a component of what the cow ate ? Are there genetic factors which predispose you to an allergic reaction ? Are there other contributing food intolerances as well ? What else is going on in your body ? This subject is not as "simple" as some would have you believe, and can take time, patience, and perseverance on your part to find the answers...)

TO LOW-CARB or
NOT TO LOW-CARB ?
That is the question...


   So... you've decided that perhaps this whole Paleo/Primal thing might be of benefit, but you aren't sure what to do about the carbs...
Ok, that's a fair question. Here is my answer...

No sweets and/or baked goods of ANY kind, with the exception of really good dark chocolate (in small amounts/day), and the following:

White potatoes (peeled), not more than 3x per week...
Sweet potatoes/Yams (peeled), not more than 2x per week...
Tubers (malanga, boniato, yucca, etc.), not more than 2x per week...

Now, you have to pick and choose among these choices for not more than 5 meals per week... So, if you eat two meals a day, that means 14 meals per week, and of those 14, 5 can contain items mentioned above. The rest of your carbs should come from healthy fresh vegetables, limiting your intake of beets, carrots, and fresh fruit to three or four servings per week. AGAIN, I will re-iterate, fruit should never be eaten WITH a meal... two hours before, or half-an-hour after. (The only exceptions to this rule are papaya and pineapple, both of which should be consumed WITH protein !)  Limit your consumption of banana to 1/2 a banana, and make sure you are getting sufficient Mg (magnesium) to balance the P (potassium) in the banana.
Yes, I hear you... "but what about rice, quinoa, etc.?"
Consumer reports did a complete survey of commercially available rice in the U.S., and found arsenic contamination in ALL their samples*... arsenic, in both of its forms (organic and inorganic), is a slow deadly poison, almost as toxic as mercury or lead.** I have given up rice. As for quinoa, I don't consume it for "ethical" reasons.*** And as for other non-grain "grains" like quinoa, the research is not in yet, as far as I could find, so I choose to avoid these potential problems as well...
