NaturalNewsBlogs What about nutrition is kept away from you?


Today we know more about
vitamins, minerals and nutrition in general then ever before, but at the same
time there are various elements of the media and medical community that want to
keep everyone in the dark about the true role and power that a proper, clean
diet and effective supplementation play in our health and life.

As many who study natural
health, nutrition and those who subscribe to various newsletters, the
pharmaceutical companies are a major front in the war against nutrition. That’s
because it’s been known since the turn of the last century that the cause of
nearly all degenerative diseases as well as the weakening of the immune system
that makes one susceptible to communicable diseases are deficiencies of various
key nutrients or total lack of them altogether.


Of course this knowledge has
been carefully and cleverly hidden from the public for over one hundred years
now since they can’t have people learning that they can be healthy merely by
taking the right nutrients and the right amounts of each.

That’s why as is the case with vitamin C and many other vitamins, the RDA for most
nutrients is pathetically low and barely enough to keep you alive, let alone
for you to be healthy and strong.


Since the mid 1800’s, the
naturopathic doctor has ceaselessly and constantly come under attack by the
MD’s and organized medical community.

As the mechanized view of the
body and the germ theory of disease began to become more accepted along with
the belief that chemicals and drugs were the way of the future, the attacks
became more frequent, bold and progressed to outright lies at times.

That’s because the MD, with his
surgical procedures, chemical drugs, fancy concoctions and useless medical
terminology had much more potential for financial gain than did the naturopath
or “country doctor”.

They saw the country doctor as
a threat to their growing influence and livelihood as well. In fact the medical
terminology that doctors use was created precisely to make the average
person feel ignorant and stupid and to keep people from ever trying to diagnose
or cure themselves.



The AMA was formed in 1847
specifically to protect the profits and practices of doctors, the MD, not the
“country doctor” who they came to view as backwards and outdated.

Of course they know that the
methods and cures of the country doctor were far better, cheaper and safer than
the drugs and surgery approach of the “medical doctor”, also known as
the “Slash and Burn” method, but it was all about the profits, so if the AMA was going to represent any group they knew that
the MD’s offered them the greatest chance at profits, growth and power.

The AMA is a union created
specifically for doctors, NOT patients, not to find cures, not to prevent
disease, but to protect the profits of doctors. Just like any union, its job is
to protect the jobs and income of its members.

The AMA is not the wonderful,
benign or righteous agency that it tries to convince the world that it is.



The western allopathic medical
establishments knows that nutrition prevents disease and cures most
non-communicable and even many communicable diseases as well. That’s why they
work so hard to suppress this knowledge and why they keep trying to get
nutrients like vitamin C labeled as a “drug”. They haven’t yet, but
they’re not giving up on this either.



In the book “Nutrition and
Physical Degeneration”, Dr. Weston A. Price details his discoveries in the
1920’s of primitive tribes and cultures around the world that were models of
health and free of dental caries and degenerative diseases.

Since he was a dentist
searching for the cause of cavities (caries), that was the main focus of his
book. However, he also discovered in his research and travels that a solid and
irrefutable link existed between those who had cavities, crowded teeth, and
“malformed” faces, and those that lacked nutrition.

 When the native peoples began to eat the
modern processed foods devoid of real nutrients and loaded with
chemicals and artificial ingredients, they too suffered the same dental and
health problems as those raised on such diets.

When the native peoples went
back to their traditional whole foods diet, cavities that were progressing ceased and
the next generation of children were born with perfect teeth and greatly
improved immunity as had the previously untouched generations.



Knowledge such as this is
powerful, and it’s this kind of knowledge that the “powers that be”
don’t want too many people knowing about. The less real knowledge and truth
that you have about how to prevent and eliminate disease and degenerative
conditions with the power of nutrition, herbs, exercise, deep breathing, meditation, relaxation and many other natural and
alternative methods, the more people will suffer needlessly while the people
who control these organizations, including pharmaceutical
companies
, doctors and hospitals
all get richer.

The rest of us will continue to
get poorer while trying to pay for this system of useless, dangerous and deadly
so-called “medicines” and procedures.



The inexpensiveness and
effectiveness of natural cures and the cultures that practice them, such as the
Chinese, are a direct threat to the stranglehold that the western medical
system has on this country and most of the world.

That is one of the main reasons
why many aspects of Chinese medicine were so strongly suppressed, laughed at, made
fun of, ridiculed and ignored in the past thirty or so years.

It was through the actions of
the patients themselves, who kept going to Chinese doctors and other natural
doctors and spreading the word of how effective these methods were, that
finally got the western medical establishment to start taking notice of Chinese
medicine and other natural treatments.

They realized that since they
couldn’t suppress this any longer, they might as well admit how well it works
so that they can control it, regulate it, license it and at least make some
money off of it. This is especially the case with acupuncture.

Even though they reject the
Chinese explanations of Chi flow and balance and prefer to believe that it’s
just effecting the nerves of the body or it’s an out of control placebo effect,
they still allowed it to be practiced and covered by insurance as a valid and
effective cure for certain illnesses.



Getting proper nutrition is
vitally important, which is why I juice several times a week to make sure that
I’m getting plenty of vital nutrients into my body and I can feel this as I
drink the life in the juice down.

 What’s also interesting is that this is also a
great way to help one lose weight, since juicing delivers tons of nutrients into the body;
hunger often disappears for several hours or more afterward and it seems to
also raise metabolism since the body is getting tons of nutrients and enzymes to function with greater efficiency and at a
higher level.



I lost over twenty pounds when
I started juicing about five times a week. As my appetite decreased and my
taste for carrots, celery, broccoli, spinach and such increased, I no longer
wanted to put pastries, pizza and doughnuts or other junk food into my body and certainly not fast food.

After juicing at lunch time
each day at one of my jobs, I often ate my last meal at 3 pm in the afternoon,
had no dinner and was not even hungry till about 8 am the next morning. Even
then I was not ravenous at all and could have easily gone till lunch without
eating anything at all.

That’s because when you’re
hungry, your body is not so much craving the solid matter. . . it’s craving the
nutrients in foods, real nutrients from natural, whole foods.

Since juicing delivers large
amounts of these nutrients to the body in liquid form, your body has plenty of
nutrients in reserve to produce what it needs, so hunger simply goes into a
stand-by mode until the cells tell the liver and brain once again that more
nutrients are needed, at which point you start to feel hungry again.



You’re also getting these
nutrients in a more readily bioavailable form since the nutrients are also
being delivered with tons of natural plant enzymes, which again take a great
load off the pancreas since the body does not have to produce large quantities
of enzymes to digest solid matter.

 Of course juicing is never a long term
substitute for real, solid whole foods, but doing short term juice fasts and
juicing daily or at least several times a week is a vital and fantastic way to
ensure that you’re getting large amounts of necessary nutrients in an
unadulterated form each time you juice.


I mentioned above a little
about the liver and brain receiving signals from the cells. The cells
communicate with the rest of the body using energies very similar to light.

A physicist by the name of Popp
has demonstrated this in his many experiments with cellular communication. He
started this work because the modern idea that the cells are all communicating
via chemical messages simply did not hold up.

Cells were receiving various
signals far too quickly to be explained by chemical reactions. His research
showed that in fact the whole body is communicating via energy in the light
spectrum and that this communication goes on at nearly the speed of light.

We are indeed all “luminous
beings”. This is also why getting out into the sun for 10-15 minutes a day
is absolutely vital, not only for the production of vitamin D, but so that your
cells can properly communicate with each other and especially the brain.

The Chinese and particularly
the Taoists practice visual exercises called “Administering Sunbeams”
early in the morning and late in the afternoon to ensure that the brain and
body get adequate amounts of UV rays from the sun.

The body does talk and has its
own language of communication, it’s absolutely amazing!



In regards to the liver, in
Chinese medicine it’s been known for centuries that the liver and spleen are
very important for digestion. They are given a special relationship in the five
element theory of Chinese medicine which teaches that each organ has solid ties
with the others and that there is a definite cause and effect relationship at
work.

 For example, the Chinese have known that the
stomach and spleen are linked pairs. This is one of the strongest inter-organ
relationships in the body. When the body needs nutrients and even more then
just nutrients, but Chi, the liver, which is the vitamin storehouse of the
body, sends a signal to the spleen (and stomach by extension) that it requires
energy.

The spleen, which gives its
energy to the mind and is responsible for concentration and faith in Chinese
medicine, then signals the stomach and brain that nutrients are needed and the
brain interprets this and starts to send out a signal back to the stomach.

We feel this as the beginnings
of hunger. So naturally, we grab something to eat. When we were all eating real
foods from nature, we got lots of nutrients, fiber, bulk matter,
sunlight and earth energy in those natural foods and the various physical and energy systems of
the human body were satisfied.

This kept intense foods craving
and bingeing to a minimum because those cravings simply never manifested
themselves to the degree that we see today.

This is precisely because so
many people are consuming nutrient-, energy- and enzyme-dead foods, that the
body is in a constant state of nutritional and energy deficiency. Because of
this, the liver is not being given the nutrients, enzymes or bio-energy (chi)
that it needs, so the feeling of hunger or of never feeling satisfied is nearly
always “on” to some degree in most people today.


When you follow a whole foods
diet, which includes juicing with lots of fresh vegetables that are nutrient
and enzyme dense, you’re giving your body not only the physical nutrients and
enzymes that it needs, but because such foods are alive, there is also the
vital and indisputable non-physical element of Chi present in the foods that
the body also requires to convert all those nutrients into other chemical
compounds, hormones and enzymes to carry out all its functions.

When we eat processed foods
such as sugar, which leeches calcium from the bones and teeth and nutrients
from the liver, we’re stripping away the nutrients needed and not giving the
body what’s truly needed for us to be healthy, feel great and live long and
happy lives.
 


 See, the body is very smart. It knows what is
natural and good for it and what is not. It knows that real foods have
nutrients, vitamins, minerals and energy present in them. Most other man-made
garbage is treated as a toxin by the body. The liver takes care of the nutrient
part and the spleen extracts the Chi or energy from foods.

 But when we consume man-made junk foods and
useless stomach fillers such as doughnuts, cakes, candies, cookies, refined
white breads, pastries and more, the body senses the various non-organic and
foreign chemicals in these foods and the almost total lack of nutrients.

The body must have nutrients to
digest those foods, so it must somehow “borrow” the nutrients that it
needs to digest this “food” from the liver, because the body can’t
digest them without these nutrients present.


Chemicals that the body cannot
digest are considered foreign and toxic by the body and are moved to the
eliminatory organs for excretion and elimination from the body. If it can’t
eliminate it, it does the next best thing, which is to “isolate” it
away from the vital internal organs.

It mostly does this by storing
such foreign matter in the fatty tissues, the fascia between the muscles and
the joints. In the case of the latter, this becomes one of the main causes of
arthritis, which is the body’s attempt to store dangerous crystalline
structures formed from the consumption of dangerous and unnatural chemical
compounds away from the organs.

 Interesting that your computer anti-virus
software also does the same thing when it can’t eliminate a virus from the
system, it “quarantines” it away so it does not damage the operating
system or other critical files.



Getting proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and nutrients is absolutely vital for
health, regeneration, strength, happiness and longevity. Just as a lack of
vitamin C causes rickets and scurvy, just as a sufficient lack of the
“B” vitamins can cause severe illness and eventually death, so too
the lack of nutrients in our bodies causes slow degeneration of the body and
eventual premature death.

Very famous fitness gurus of the 1950’s once said “If man made
it, don’t eat it” and “It’s not what you do some of the time that
counts, it’s what you do all of the time that counts.”


We have to be aware of our
nutrient intake every day, not just some days and not others. In this modern,
fast-paced world it’s hard to make sure we’re getting all that we need.

So, what’s my daily regimen?
First of all, I adhere to a vegan diet as organic as possible. Then, every
other day I cycle on my stationary cycle for an hour.

Next, comes my supplementation:
One teaspoon of organic sulfur crystals twice a day because the oxygen it
releases eliminates any toxins in my body, including fluoride, and the sulfur leaves
the body in 12 hours.

Then, for breakfast, a smoothie
consisting of one scoop of Orgain Creamy Chocolate Fudge Protein Powder,
organic bananas, strawberries, mangos, cherries and blueberries, a pitted date,
and vanilla coconut milk. After that I take a tablespoon of the most delicious,
melt-in-your-mouth, fresh bee pollen that I get from Hawaii and also sell. Why
is it good? It floods the body with vitamin B12.

At 82, I have no illnesses and
take no meds. If I can do it, why can’t you?

Aloha!

When I was a kid, if I were told that I’d be writing a book about diet and nutrition when I was older, let alone having been doing a health related radio show for over 36 years, I would’ve thought that whoever told me that was out of their mind. Living in Newark, New Jersey, my parents and I consumed anything and everything that had a face or a mother except for dead, rotting, pig bodies, although we did eat bacon (as if all the other decomposing flesh bodies were somehow miraculously clean). Going through high school and college it was no different. In fact, my dietary change did not come until I was in my 30’s.

Just to put things in perspective, after I graduated from Weequahic High School and before going to Seton Hall University, I had a part-time job working for a butcher. I was the delivery guy and occasionally had to go to the slaughterhouse to pick up products for the store. Needless to say, I had no consciousness nor awareness, as change never came then despite the horrors I witnessed on an almost daily basis.

After graduating with a degree in accounting from Seton Hall, I eventually got married and moved to a town called Livingston. Livingston was basically a yuppie community where everyone was judged by the neighborhood they lived in and their income. To say it was a “plastic” community would be an understatement.

Livingston and the shallowness finally got to me. I told my wife I was fed up and wanted to move. She made it clear she had to be near her friends and New York City. I finally got my act together and split for Colorado.

I was living with a lady in Aspen at the end of 1974, when one day she said, ” let’s become vegetarians”. I have no idea what possessed me to say it, but I said, “okay”! At that point I went to the freezer and took out about $100 worth of frozen, dead body parts and gave them to a welfare mother who lived behind us. Well, everything was great for about a week or so, and then the chick split with another guy.

So here I was, a vegetarian for a couple weeks, not really knowing what to do, how to cook, or basically how to prepare anything. For about a month, I was getting by on carrot sticks, celery sticks, and yogurt. Fortunately, when I went vegan in 1990, it was a simple and natural progression. Anyway, as I walked around Aspen town, I noticed a little vegetarian restaurant called, “The Little Kitchen”.

Let me back up just a little bit. It was April of 1975, the snow was melting and the runoff of Ajax Mountain filled the streets full of knee-deep mud. Now, Aspen was great to ski in, but was a bummer to walk in when the snow was melting.

I was ready to call it quits and I needed a warmer place. I’ll elaborate on that in a minute.

But right now, back to “The Little Kitchen”. Knowing that I was going to leave Aspen and basically a new vegetarian, I needed help. So, I cruised into the restaurant and told them my plight and asked them if they would teach me how to cook. I told them in return I would wash dishes and empty their trash. They then asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was an accountant.

The owner said to me, “Let’s make a deal. You do our tax return and we’ll feed you as well”. So for the next couple of weeks I was doing their tax return, washing their dishes, emptying the trash, and learning as much as I could.

But, like I said, the mud was getting to me. So I picked up a travel book written by a guy named Foder. The name of the book was, “Hawaii”. Looking through the book I noticed that in Lahaina, on Maui, there was a little vegetarian restaurant called,” Mr. Natural’s”. I decided right then and there that I would go to Lahaina and work at “Mr. Natural’s.” To make a long story short, that’s exactly what happened.

So, I’m working at “Mr. Natural’s” and learning everything I can about my new dietary lifestyle – it was great. Every afternoon we would close for lunch at about 1 PM and go to the Sheraton Hotel in Ka’anapali and play volleyball, while somebody stayed behind to prepare dinner.

Since I was the new guy, and didn’t really know how to cook, I never thought that I would be asked to stay behind to cook dinner. Well, one afternoon, that’s exactly what happened; it was my turn. That posed a problem for me because I was at the point where I finally knew how to boil water.

I was desperate, clueless and basically up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine sitting in the gazebo at the restaurant and I asked him if he knew how to cook. He said the only thing he knew how to cook was enchiladas. He said that his enchiladas were bean-less and dairy-less. I told him that I had no idea what an enchilada was or what he was talking about, but I needed him to show me because it was my turn to do the evening meal.

Well, the guys came back from playing volleyball and I’m asked what was for dinner. I told them enchiladas; the owner wasn’t thrilled. I told him that mine were bean-less and dairy-less. When he tried the enchilada he said it was incredible. Being the humble guy that I was, I smiled and said, “You expected anything less”? It apparently was so good that it was the only item on the menu that we served twice a week. In fact, after about a week, we were selling five dozen every night we had them on the menu and people would walk around Lahaina broadcasting, ‘enchilada’s at “Natural’s” tonight’. I never had to cook anything else.

A year later the restaurant closed, and somehow I gravitated to a little health food store in Wailuku. I never told anyone I was an accountant and basically relegated myself to being the truck driver. The guys who were running the health food store had friends in similar businesses and farms on many of the islands. I told them that if they could organize and form one company they could probably lock in the State. That’s when they found out I was an accountant and “Down to Earth” was born. “Down to Earth” became the largest natural food store chain in the islands, and I was their Chief Financial Officer and co-manager of their biggest store for 13 years.

In 1981, I started to do a weekly radio show to try and expose people to a vegetarian diet and get them away from killing innocent creatures. I still do that show today. I pay for my own airtime and have no sponsors to not compromise my honesty. One bit of a hassle was the fact that I was forced to get a Masters Degree in Nutrition to shut up all the MD’s that would call in asking for my credentials.

My doing this radio show enabled me, through endless research, to see the corruption that existed within the big food industries, the big pharmaceutical companies, the biotech industries and the government agencies. This information, unconscionable as it is, enabled me to realize how broken our health system is. This will be covered more in depth in the Introduction and throughout the book and when you finish the book you will see this clearly and it will hopefully inspire you to make changes.

I left Down to Earth in 1989, got nationally certified as a sports injury massage therapist and started traveling the world with a bunch of guys that were making a martial arts movie. After doing that for about four years I finally made it back to Honolulu and got a job as a massage therapist at the Honolulu Club, one of Hawaii’s premier fitness clubs. It was there I met the love of my life who I have been with since 1998. She made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. She said,” If you want to be with me you’ve got to stop working on naked women”. So, I went back into accounting and was the Chief Financial Officer of a large construction company for many years.

Going back to my Newark days when I was an infant, I had no idea what a “chicken” or “egg” or “fish” or “pig” or “cow” was. My dietary blueprint was thrust upon me by my parents as theirs was thrust upon them by their parents. It was by the grace of God that I was able to put things in their proper perspective and improve my health and elevate my consciousness.

The road that I started walking down in 1975 has finally led me to the point of writing my book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”. Hopefully, the information contained herein will be enlightening, motivating, and inspiring to encourage you to make different choices. Doing what we do out of conditioning is not always the best course to follow. I am hoping that by the grace of the many friends and personalities I have encountered along my path, you will have a better perspective of what road is the best road for you to travel on, not only for your health but your consciousness as well.

Last but not least: after being vaccinated as a kid I developed asthma, which plagued me all of my life. In 2007 I got exposed to the organic sulfur crystals, which got rid of my asthma in 3 days and has not come back in over 10 years. That, being the tip of the iceberg, has helped people reverse stage 4 cancers, autism, joint pain, blood pressure problems, migraine headaches, erectile dysfunction, gingivitis, and more. Also, because of the detoxification effects by the release of oxygen that permeates and heals all the cells in the body, it removes parasites, radiation, fluoride, free radicals, and all the other crap that is thrust upon us in the environment by Big Business.
