IS THE CREATOR STUPID?

If one observes closely, they will notice that every time man tries to improve on nature ....relating to the food supply or in the creation of other technologies......more problems are always created . When you think about it, it is pure arrogance to think we are smarter than the creator of the universe. For those who think that people are gods, and that we created this world through our conciousness.....it still doesn't make sense to try and change the perfect "material" order of things. If we really want to better ourselves, I think we need to concentrate more on spiritual reality. But that's getting a bit off track. Listen to Sean Croxton below. He is a certified personal trainer who focuses heavily on REAL nutrition and follows the works of Dr. Weston A Price. His talk below centers on eating foods the way nature created them. I really enjoy his down to earth, friendly and the sometimes humorous way in which he presents himself.

Contrary to the advice of  of big agriculture and pharma funded research, saturated fats are good for you and are essential for proper brain function, immune system function, a healthy nervous system and serene hormonal balance. Coconut oil is good for you. The staturated fat from GRASSFED meat is good for you. The video below Sean's talk explains the health benefits of grassfed meat. The video is made by Wellness Meats, which is where I buy about a quarter of our meat. I especially focus on the organ and sausage specialty meats. When animals in the wild consume other animals...they always go for the organs first and sometimes leave the muscle meat for other predators. The organs, such as liver and heart, are extremely nutritious. However, we probably wouldn't want to eat the organ meats from factory farm raised cattle, due to all the antibiotics, hormones and improper diet.When a catch was made... traditional societies or tribes around the world would share these organs with others in their small community.In some communities, women were made to eat special foods, organ meats included, before they were even allowed to get married. This practice ensured that children born to these women would be healthy and robust. In order to survive, our ancestors had to be very observant as to what foods created well formed children and strong adults.To read more about this important information from a very respected nutrition classic, check out Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

OUR BODIES NEED CHOLESTEROL.....ESPECIALLY THE BRAIN

Cholesterol Is Essential to Life

Every Cell Demands Cholesterol
Aug 31, 2008 R.L. Coffield

Americans have been terrorized into the belief that cholesterol will kill them. Recent studies indicate that a lack of cholesterol is what is destructive to one's health.

Cholesterol Does not Cause Heart Disease

According to Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, a leading endocrinologist and author of The Schwarzbein Principle, “Eating cholesterol and fat do not cause heart disease and accelerated death. In fact, you must eat them to avoid heart disease.” Schwarzbein is a strong advocate that “…high total cholesterol numbers are not the cause of heart attacks. A high-insulin lifestyle is the cause of heart attacks.”

This sentiment is also expressed by a growing number of scientists and nutrition experts, including Gary Taubes in Good Calories, Bad Calories, and Sally Fallon in Nourishing Traditions. Since the majority of heart-attack victims have normal to low cholesterol numbers, it appears now that many early studies linking cholesterol to heart disease were greatly flawed, or greatly misinterpreted.

Lack of Cholesterol Causes Cancer and accelerated Aging

For a long time, Schwarzbein was one of the lone voices in the cholesterol brouhaha who advocated that a lack of cholesterol was dietary disaster. This is a fundamental fact since the lack of cholesterol causes cell membrane structures to alter, thus disrupting cell growth. Cancer can arise because of ensuing abnormal cell division. Thus, every cell in the human body requires cholesterol and fat to help safeguard one’s health

According to Taubes, the link between low cholesterol and cancer was appearing as early as 1980. Indeed, according to the Framingham Study, “…men whose total cholesterol levels were below 190mg/dl were more than three times as likely to get colon cancer as those men with cholesterol greater than 220; they were almost twice as likely to contract any kind of cancer than those with cholesterol over 280 mg/dl.”

Cholesterol is essential for brain function, helps form cell membranes both on the inside and outside, contributes to a healthy immune system and makes hormones. When these systems are depleted or starved for cholesterol, there is an increase in the potential for diseases of all types, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, depression, agitation, hormonal imbalance, poor thyroid function and a host of other debilitating conditions.

Cholesterol and Fat Are not the Enemy

According to Schwarzbein, “Fat and cholesterol are so important to life that your body has backup systems for their production.” In fact, the body can make cholesterol from carbohydrates.

Fallon states that “High serum cholesterol levels often indicate that the body needs cholesterol to protect itself from high levels of altered, free radical-containing fats.” Consumption of hydrogenated and vegetable oils and a diet too high in sugar and white flour are the main dietary mistakes made. Fallon goes on to say that “…cholesterol is needed in a poorly nourished body to protect the individual from a tendency to heart disease and cancer.”

An increasing mound of evidence strongly indicates that it is the excessive consumption of carbohydrates that is the leading cause of debilitating disease, heart attack and metabolic aging.

Consumer Confusion

Never before have so many diverse theories emerged regarding the dietary causes of modern diseases. Consumers have been busily chasing one theory after another, looking for the panacea to perfect health. In the long run, the message may be very simple: eat a well rounded diet avoiding excess consumption of any one food group, especially shunning the emphasis on low-fat, high-carb eating. Cholesterol and natural oils and fats are not the culprits they have been made out to be.

IS THE NEW FOOD PYRAMID PROMOTING DIABETES?

The public is slowly waking up to the nutritional deception which has been put forth by the drug companies, the industry of agriculture and the medical industrial governmental complex. We are beginning to see through the lies. The more we slip away from the traditional nutritional wisdom of our anscestors (http://www.ppnf.org/ ) and the more we heed the advice of the commercial interests, the sicker we get. We are often told that we are the healthiest and the best fed nation in the world. This must be a form of effectual mind control because many of us actually believe this statement, despite the pandemic of degenerative disease we are experiencing.

I have almost finished reading the book Trick And Treat - how 'healthy eating' is making us ill and am finding it to be a most valuable book. It reveals to us how we are being deceived and what this deception is doing to our bodies. I rate this book as a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about real nutrition and how this knowledge can save us from the current medical nightmare many are finding themselves in.

The new food pyramid recommendations http://www.mypyramid.gov/  and its relation to diabetes is one of the facets of this problem that I will briefly discuss. The new food pyramid lists grains and other starches as the base of the pyramid. The authorities are telling us that the largest proportion of our diet needs to contain this class of food. However, starches...even whole grain starches...raise the blood glucose levels. Here is a quote from Trick and Treat...  "In a similar way, type-1 diabetics, by being told to inject as much insulin as necessary to compensate for their wholly unsuitable - but recommended - diet, which is extremely high in foods that convert into sugar, ultimately acquire insulin resistance, and develope type-2 diabetes as well.  The diabetes authorities are well aware their policies are harmful. This is illustrated by the following text from The American Diabete's Association's website, which, under the heading The Diabetes Food Pyramid: Starches, reads: 'The message today: Eat more starches! It is healthiest for everyone to eat more whole grains, beans and starchy vegetables such as peas,corn, potaotes, and winter squash.'

The ADA's website then admits that: "Yes, foods with carbohydrates - starches, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products - will raise your blood glucose more quickly than meats and fats.'  This, of course, is exactly what every diabetic should avoid doing at all costs. But the ADA say that these high carbohydrate foods: 'are the healthiest' for diabetics. Are they serious? They warn patients: 'Your doctor may need to adjust your medications when you eat more carbohydrates.'  I'll say he will - upwards!  It goes on: 'You may need to increase your activity level or try spacing carbohydrates throughout the day.' In other words, you have now got to find a way to minimize the harm that increased carbohydrate intake causes. Surely this advice borders on insanity."

Other harmful advice in the new food pyramid is to reduce fat and protein intake..and relegate them to the smallest section of the pyramid. Protein and fat...yes , even saturated fats,.....help us to keep our blood sugar levels stable and should comprise a much larger portion of our diets. Fats such as fat from grass fed cattle (not factory raised), high quality, preferrably raw butter, eggs and tropical oils like coconut oil  and palm oil, are the true health foods you are not being told about.

The food pyramid also recommends drinking a large amount of milk (which unfortunately mostly means the adulterated factory farm milk). If one was to be drinking farm fresh raw full fat milk, that would be good advice. However, they advise drinking skim milk. Taking the fat off of the milk, strips the milk of the very component which helps to digest and assimilate vitamins and minerals from the milk. Taking the fat away also creates a sugar laden (lactose) product with no fat left to buffer the glucose metabolism. Please see the short milk video in the sidebar which quicly explains the dangers of pasteruized , homogenized and skimmed milk.

On the one hand the food pyramid guidelines are telling us to avoid refined sugar...which is good advice...but on the other hand they recommend filling our diets with other starchy foods which convert to glucose.

The advice we are being given makes us sicker and fills the pockets of the corporations, which are now integrated with our government . Please read the book Trick or Treat and check out the books I've selected in my Must Read Book Store  http://astore.amazon.com/thelymdissenb-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=1
I have read most of these books and have selected them because they have helped me immensely on my road back to health. The healthier we are as individuals...the healthier society will be as a whole. Truly healthy people make better decisions, have more compassion and realize what is really important in life.

As I mentioned above, coconut oil is one of the healthy fats. Just be sure that you use the virgin coconut oil and not the refined oil for dietary purposes. The book store at the link above also has the book The Coconut Oil Miracle...which explains why this natural oil is such a valuable food. I became affiliated with the company at the link below because I have bought herbs from them in the past and they were always fresh and of high quality. When I found out that they were also one of the most inexpensive sources of virgin coconut oil, that kind of clinched it for me.
