To My Friends Health Eat Well, Live Well, Learn How Hippocrates

How times have changed since Hippocrates uttered these words. Nourishment and exercise is the basis of good health.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health. Not going to the doctor and being given a pill, that most the time has side effects, and trying to feel better. I started this page so my friends who don't care about nutrition wouldn't have to hear me go off on diet and nutrition. My goal is to have this page inform and educate people on the facts of nutrition without all the spin. I will try to back it up with science as much as possible. How did I get started? I've always had a passion for it. Kind of happens when you lose a father to a heart attack when he was 37 and I was 5. Followed by my struggle with obesity when I was a child and my high cholesterol my whole life. Also, seeing family and friends suffer through diseases of cancer and heart issues and knowing that there are food and nutrients that could help solve these issues without drugs. I started to learn about foods and nutrition and got tired of having people ask me if I was a doctor or nutritionist as I talked to them about nutrition. Nope. I sell technology. Their next comment was, "Well you should be because I learned more from you in 10 minutes than my doctor has told me". I decided to back to school to get a Masters degree in Holistic Nutrition. Finishing my first year. One word to describe it. Fascinating! Why did I get that business degree those many years ago? Many years ago, the Gutenberg Bible changed the way people viewed religion. Where the clergy used to interpret the bible for the masses, it was now put in the hands of the people. The internet has done that for nutrition. It is no longer in the hands of the few. It is there for all to see and interpret. Information and science continues to move forward and can be verified by searching in the right places. Places like the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, New England Journal of Medicine, and other sites that go into detail of nutrition for better health. What if I told you there was one nutrient that costs pennies a day that could cut your cancer risks from between 50 and 77%. Interested? Why HIgh Fructose Corn Syrup is actually a toxin and should be avoided. Why Genetically Modified Foods may be causing the obesity epidemic here in the US. Why when you see something advertised on a package that promotes it’s health, you should probably avoid it. That's just some of the items I will explore. Also, I may throw in some recipe's, explore what is really in the food you eat, both good and bad, and repost some interesting articles from people who are smarter than me. Nutrition, a noun. The science, or the study of, or course of study in, nutrition, especially in humans. Through this page, maybe we all can find what Hippocrates found would be the safest way to health.

Once again, this is another reason for staying away from genetically modified foods. "In addition, glyphosate exposure is associated with a higher risk of angina, coronary heart disease, and heart attack."

Glyphosate, as the main component of glyphosate pesticides, has been shown to have toxic effects on multiple human systems. However, the association between glyphosate and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains unclear. This study ...

I highly recommend you have this test done on your heart. Non-invasive and gives you and your doctor more information than "your cholesterol is high." You can have high cholesterol and still not build up plaque in your arteries. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1H6q9aR2Dv/

Listen to your heart — it might be trying to tell you more than you think.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released a report stating that tuberculosis (TB) has surpassed COVID-19 as the leading infectious disease killer globally. This is a significant development, highlighting the ongoing challenge posed by TB, particularly in low and middle-income countries. The report indicates a concerning rise in TB cases, with an estimated 8.2 million people newly diagnosed in 2023.

Surprising. Not really. TB has killed more people in this world than any other communicable disease. The last time I checked about 6 months ago on causes of death, it was still #13 on the list.

Does it have to be and what does nutrition have to do with TB? I would say a lot. Alfred McCann, in his book The Science of Eating, wrote in his section Food Calcium and Tuberculosis the following:

“All food, if unrefined, is good food. Food, unprocessed by man, contains all the elements necessary to a successful journey through the human body. Any combination of natural foods, unrefined, which you can think of, will place at her disposal the raw materials needed by Mother Nature not only in her process of curing tuberculosis, but in her function of protecting the body against it…the lack of absorbable calcium salts in the diet favours(sp) loss of resisting power against infection.”

McCann is talking to the tissue form of calcium, calcium bicarbonate and his comments are from 1917. Yes, 1917. When calcium is pushed to the cells, it creates a calcium wave which supports the phagocytes to help destroy the pathogen, in this case TB. It has also been studied to support the body against Sepsis and the nasty viral infection, COVID. What’s sad is that there are studies in mainstream medical journals that all support this knowledge but ignored.

Maybe instead of the miracle cure that has been all elusive for the past 100 years, we should consider the nutritional status of the body first.

“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.”

— Orator, chapter 34, section 120. Cicero, 46 BC

Have you ever heard someone tell you "Milk is for cows!" and should never be drunk by humans? How do you answer? Once again, in my opinion, you need to go back into the history books. I was reviewing some training and ran across this. It is from the British medical journal The Lancet, from 1917, and goes into infertile incipient scurvy. (lack of vitamin C) Note how they used raw milk, not pasteurized milk to resolve the issue in young children. Then again, Dr. Francis Pottentenger in his book Pottenger Cats, goes into it in the 1920s. He showed that in a feral colony of cats. Also, Dr. Golderberger discovered the disease pellagra in the south at the turn of the 20th century. He resolved the disease with whole meats and unpasteurized milk. Finally, you need to consider that raw milk also has the Wulzen Factor named after Dr. Wulzen to alleviate arthritis. Once again, it is the quality of the food you consume that truly makes the difference.

One of the biggest food lies of all time is that all calories are created equal.

Food is more than just calories, it’s information that our cells need to function, information that our metabolism can use to either run efficiently or sluggishly trudge along.

When you eat a piece of sugar, fruit juice or refined carbohydrates, it goes right to your liver, where it starts manufacturing fat, triggering more insulin resistance and causing chronically elevated blood insulin levels, driving your body to store everything you eat as even more belly fat.

Broccoli on the other hand is rich in fiber and low in carbohydrates and sugar. You’d have to eat a huge amount of Broccoli to reach the same amount of calories that just one small bag of candy could provide, and thanks to fiber you’d be full long before that could ever happen.

Eating well should not be all about watching QUANTITY, you need to be paying attention to QUALITY.

Real foods like colorful vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, avocados, olives, etc.), gluten-free whole grains, legumes, and responsibly sourced animals proteins and seafood—the foods I recommend in my Pegan diet—are going to give your cells the information they need to function at their very best.

So choose kale over candy and focus on quality more than quantity; it will change your relationship to food and your health will thank you.

"At the time that I had just detected the rich vitamin content of the paprika, I was asked by a colleague of mine for pure vitamin C. This colleague himself suffered from a serious hemorrhagic diathesis. Since I still did not have enough of this crystalline substance at my disposal then, I sent him paprikas. My colleague was cured. But later we tried in vain to obtain the same therapeutic effect with pure vitamin C.”

Bottom line. Szent-Gyorgi knew in 1937 that synthetic vitamin C was virtually worthless in health.

My wife went shopping yesterday and told me about the lines at Chick Fil A. I hear it tastes good and people like it. Well, do you know what is in it? 1, MSG is a known neurotoxin. 2, aluminum, is a known neurotoxin and generally not good for the body. GMO soy, is a known cancer-causing food and it goes on. You can go out and enjoy Chick Fil A. That is your right. But, when I see your post about cancer awareness and Alzheimer's awareness, this truly is awareness.

QUICK LOOK: Chick-fil-A’s famous chicken sandwich has 55 ingredients, including MSG, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Potassium Iodate, and Dimethylpolysiloxane. These additives are linked to several health risks, and some are banned or heavily restricted in other countries. Chick-fil-A has made some go...

Don't you love all the misinformation this time of year coming from the so-called experts on nutrition? In 2010, the Centers of Disease Control came out with their recommendations that a high sodium / low potassium diet increased the risk of death. But the high salt diet still perpetuates instead of the balance with potassium. But then again, Dr. Royal Lee talked about that back in the 1940s. Almost 75 years later, the "science is settled" gerbils still have not caught up and continued to perpetuate this false god. Happy Thanksgiving!

Why is nutrition so difficult and hard to understand? Why do you see one day a food is good for you and the next day it is bad? The answer is that you are being marketed to by food giants manipulating the science. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) is the largest group made up of registered dieticians that takes money in support of the organization from manufactured food companies and in return, gets favorable language to support their products. That is not science but quid pro quo. The AND has been trying to pass legislation to make it illegal for anyone other than a registered dietician to give nutritional advice. This organization is dangerous and should be disbanded. What is sad, is that this type of misinformation has been going on for over 100 years. The original head of the FDA in 1917 was removed because he tried to enforce laws on the books that banned adulterated food from the American public. Attached is an article that goes to the core of the corruption of the AND.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics accepted millions of dollars from food, pharmaceutical and agribusiness companies, and invested in ultra-processed food company stocks

I was helping out a doctor who reached out with questions around dealing with allergies. One little known fact is that you have to acidify the body before the antihistamine to work. There are ways to do this naturally. This was spoken by Dr. Royal Lee in the 1940s. I've used this with people who have suffered the whole lives with airborne allergies for years and see them clear up in a few minutes.

Medical dogma dies hard. How many times have you heard that you need to watch your salt for heart and blood pressure health? If you are like me, too numerous to count. Our first President, Washington, died from bloodletting because that was the science of the day even though it had been shown almost 200 years earlier to be ineffective. Yes, he died of medical ignorance. Same with salt. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control came out with it isn't salt but the lack of balance with potassium. Otherwise, if you consume salt, make sure you balance it with potassium. If you deal with tachycardia after a large carbohydrate meal, get some potassium and the heart rate will calm right down. Get good salt in Celtic or Himalayan as you are getting the balance with minerals. Dr. Royal Lee talked about how it was dangerous to limit salt to someone who craved it because of the need for salt for the adrenals. As the study conclusion states in 2010, "Conclusions: Our results provide population-based evidence that concurrent higher sodium and lower potassium consumption are associated with hypertension." fil:///Users/duaneclark/Downloads/cdc_21177_DS1.pdf
