For many years, a commonsense link between fast food, obesity, and insulin problems was assumed by many people – and now Britain’s esteemed medical journal The Lancet has published results of the first long-term investigation to establish links between fast food, obesity and the insulin troubles that usually appear as harbingers of diabetes.
'These findings suggest that frequent fast food consumption cannot be part of a healthful diet, despite claims to the contrary by the food industry,’ said senior study author Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children’s Hospital Boston. As they attempted to isolate the effect of fast food on excess weight and insulin resistance, two major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes, researchers assessed the dietary habits of 3,301 black and white adults aged 18 to 30. Participants were asked to provide information about diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors.
What is it about fast food that makes it so bad for people? ‘The kind of foods that are served in fast food restaurants are generally high-energy density,’ wrote Dr. Aren Astrup in an accompanying editorial. ‘The portion sizes have gone up dramatically and also there are a lot of soft drinks where we know the sugar seems to be more fattening than in solid foods. They also lack a lot of the nutrients that we know have some protective effect against weight gain, such as high, whole-grain food products.’

Live To Eat, Or Eat To Live?
This is a question that few folks think about. And most of these people actually live to eat, rather than eat to live. What do I mean by this? When you shop at a regular grocery store, you are nearly 100% guaranteed to end up with genetically modified foods, foods with MSG(under a wide variety of names. Check this site out for more help on this, with Soy(this is not a healthy food unless fermented), canola oil(I don't care who tells you it's healthy, or even safe. No one has been able to prove this yet, and all the evidence shows us otherwise), NutraSweet(listed under many names), and much more additives that are very toxic.
People buy food at specific stores mostly due to price. But how much money can you save? Perhaps $1,000 per year? And how much does a bout of cancer cost? Or two or three bouts of cancer? How about Alzheimers? How about Dementia? Is it worth it? Many still believe it is.
If you are one who believe that health should be a priority, and not an occasional pasttime, that you, and you alone, are responsible for your health, then perhaps this message will not be in vain. I know it's not. You are reading it. So what to do with your diet?
Raw foods are great foods. Especially when they are organically grown. I do everything possible to avoid non-organic, due to the very high probability of genetically modified organism in those foods, that have no business being there. That, and there is a high likelihood of pesticides and herbicides in non-organically grown foods. Pesticides and herbicides do what? Kill. Makes sense, if you want to reduce the population or/and keep customers for life in the medical industry, doesn't it?
Foods I eat on a regular basis include:
~Kiwi
~Banana
~Most berries
~Potatoes
~Tomatoes
~Romaine Lettuce
~Sprouts I grow
And more of course. The potatoes and tomatoes are the only ones listed above that are not always raw. As raw, organic foods though, they are superbly beneficial to your health. Potatoes are not very healthy in a cooked state.
The reasons I use the above foods, and I kept that list short to keep this blog posting from being 4 pages, is this:
Kiwis are loaded with an enormous amount of enzymes. All live foods have live enzymes. All cooked foods are devoid of enzymes. Enzymes are required for every function of the body and mind. EVERY function. If one consumes large amounts of raw foods, they will have more energy, better and more memory of dreams, have far less health problems, have a better attitude, have better vision, mobility, sex. When one obtains a health problem, the body is simply letting you know, you need to cleanse. Raw foods cleanse. And this one cleanses fairly well. Kiwis are also abundant in a large variety of nutrients.
Bananas are a good food, in a variety of ways. Although it is not a food high in potassium, as you are led to believe by the food industry. Potatoes are much higher. But they do have potassium. They have a fiber that really helps the body's regularity, they have many live enzymes, and have a moderate amount of nutrients.
Berries have some excellent healing capabilities. Or perhaps better said, would be that they help the body to heal, due to the compounds found in the berries. For instance, raspberries and strawberries have ellagic acid, which helps the brain. The American Cancer Society states that ellagic acid helps reduce cancers, and helps the liver to remove cancer causing substances from the blood. Berries are rich in enzymes, and the darker berries have the most powerful healing agents that we are aware of, out of berries in general. Berries are known to be very good cleansers of the digestive tract.
Potatoes are rich in the compound lutein, as are spinach and kale. Lutein is a an anti-oxidant known to help eye health. Raw potatoes are loaded with very beneficial enzymes, that will help keep blood sugar in better control, give added energy(do not consume just before bed or you may not sleep), helps the digestive system, helps the dreaming process, helps rheumatoid arthritis, where cooked potatoes aggravate arthritis. I highly recommend this raw food. For many, it is an acquired taste. I grew up eating them.
Tomatoes are just a superbly beneficial food. They are medically known to help reverse cancers, are a high source of vitamin C, Harvard studies show that men who consume 3 of more servings of tomatoes per week, have a 45% less risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also rich in betacarotene and lycopene. The darker the color, the most of these compound in the food.
Romaine Lettuce is one of the best, if not the best, lettuce to consume, in my opinion. This lettuce appears to have more nutrients than any other currently produced. Romaine is much higher in nearly all nutrients, between it an Iceberg.
As for sprouts, I recommend not just one sprout, but many. Alfalfa, Red Clover, Broccoli(medically known to help cancers), radish. These sprouts all contain nutrients with concentrated amounts of phytochemicals (plant compounds) that can protect us against disease. I used to eat a quart of these every day. If you choose to consume this many, bear in mind, that because all live greens will thin the blood, you may get cold with this many in a 12 hour period. This is a good site to give some added information on the immense value of sprouts.

MSG. What Names Are Used To Hide It From Public View On Food Products?
I very recently found out the hard way, some of the known side effects of MSG. While I eat natural foods, in other words, organic(preferably certified organic), or wild, or naturally grown(completely organic) by me, I at times will eat foods such as packaged snacks also. When they are labeled as organic.
I found some organic potato chips from Kettle Foods, in Salem, Ore, that were on closeout at one of the local health food stores. I bought some bags of them.
While playing a game online tonite, I started munching. They were so addictive I kept eating, until the bag was nearly empty. It was at this point, that I suddenly decided I better read the label. You see, I had suddenly gotten very angry, my heart rate had gone up(way up), and stayed up for awhile afterwords(Until I got myself detoxed).
I am a very peaceful person. However, I had gotten so angry doing nothing but eating potato chips and playing a computer game(I see life as an experience, almost nothing angers me), that suddenly I wanted to eliminate certain people out of the playing field. Not just anyone. But those in the FDA responsible for allowing this toxic waste to be put into; and worse: hidden, into our food supply. No one else had anything to fear from me, but I had so much 'anger energy', I couldn't sit still.
I am a higher energy person, but this was more than annoying. Do you have any idea how hard it is to truly anger someone who lives life as simply an "experience"? It is nearly impossible. Our food supply is supposed to be free of chemicals. At least, it was 100 years ago. And how much disease did we have back then? Not much, compared to now.
I can imagine your thoughts at this moment. This is why I decided I better read the label. I had bought different varieties of these chips from Kettle in the past, and there were very few ingredients; nothing harmful listed. No problems with them. This set of chips though, has MSG.
Perhaps this is why they were on closeout in the store. Personally, I would have incincerated them, because that's the only almost safe way to dispose of such a hazardous material. Costs too much money to send it into deep space, and we sure wouldn't want other life forms out in space to think we are THAT stupid, that we would eat this stuff.
On this set of packaging, it is listed as "Yeast Extract". I was prompted to read the label even before this happened, because I suddenly realized I felt addicted to this new bag of chips. The addiction part is why MSG was put in food in the first place; to get us to buy more(and get obese).
I know many people have visible health problems due to this chemical in our food supply, and some may be able to relate to this posting. Here is a list of known hidden "MSG" labeling words.
Some of the listed side effects of MSG include rapid heart rate, depression, irritability, twitching. No depression here, but the rest of these applied.
I know I have had some of this stuff in my body before, but either it was not a large enough amount, or I was not showing symptoms. I always tell people to read the labels. And I nearly always do. But, since I was used to buying chips from this company, and found no reference to MSG on the other packages, I naturally figured they should be a company worth giving some business to. Not anymore.
I am telling you this in part, because you may have children, or a spouse, who suddenly gets angry, depressed, won't eat, reclusive; or does something worse. I did not like telling you what was going through me when I was affected by the MSG, but I knew you needed to know the potential issues involved with MSG. I am here to help people, not hurt them.
Never again will I touch any "food" with any reference of any kind, to a chemical compound. And I will gladly start referencing foods in this blog that have MSG in them, as I find them. I generally stay out of stores that sell groceries that are not somewhat health conscious.
Even most vaccines are said to have MSG put into them. Makes you want to go out and get 30 or 40 vaccines, doesn't it? And now kids in NJ are required to have them all before first grade, thanks to the drug cartel running the NJ legislature. You can do a google search to verify this. I had to find out why the law was passed. Pretty simple to figure out once I found out who passed that law.
Poor kids. Now I can only imagine, and hope I'm wrong, on what might be happening to these kids and their families. This is what I did to relieve my issue with MSG....
I used Chlorella. Chlorella is a cleanser of toxins in the body. I buy it in bulk here, then put a tablespoon or more in a glass of non-chlorinated water, and slowing drink it. If you've been reading my posts on this site, you know that you should hold this in your mouth for at least several seconds before each swallow.
This is to get nutrients into your bloodstream. You will get nutrients either way, but most of your digestion is in the mouth, and it's said that certain nutrients don't make it into the lower intestine to be able to enter the bloodstream. By the way, if you get good Chlorella, it is not bad tasting. Actually, there is not much taste to it.
Chlorella does indeed help remove the MSG, just as it will Aspartame, or NutraSweet, which is the more commonly used "sweetener" name, or Splenda. This was originally intended to be a pharmaceutical drug. Only in 5,000+ food products because of the potential for profit. And a massive profit for the chemical company it was; and still is, though many people are becoming more aware of what it is, and that they need to get back on track with health.
And you probably had no idea there were that many foods, did you? It is listed on the majority of packages, but under various names, so the consumer(that would be you and I) don't recognize what it is.
By the way, the term "organic" does not mean the product is safe. There are diiferent organic ratings, listed below.......
100% ORGANIC
all ingredients - the product itself and anything used in processing - were grown and harvested according to USDA organic standards.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
a USDA-accredited agency has confirmed that the farmer, company or business who raised or handled the product meets all USDA organic requirements.
MADE WITH ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
must contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients.
ORGANIC
a way of growing and processing food and fibers that doesn’t involve the use of artificial ingredients, preservatives, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics or irradiation. Products labeled “organic” must contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients, according to USDA regulations. The name of the certifying agency must be displayed on the package.
Since the packages of chips I bought say "USDA organic", one would think they are safe. But, there's a catch in here, in the labeling. The FDA lists MSG as "gras", or Generally Regarded As Safe. Great group of people aren't they? Always willing to help their clients, the drug cartel.

The Value Of Eggs
Did you know....
Eating eggs is not a significant cause for the raising of your cholesterol, and if it were, consider this.....cholesterol is required to create hormones in your body.
Eggs have been shown to:
* Keep your brain healthy. Choline is an important nutrient found in egg yolks as phosphatidycholine. . A cell must have this substance to be normal and healthy and to work properly. It keeps the membrane of each cell in a fluid condition.
* Phosphatidycholine is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that carries impulses between brain cells. And acetylcholine is essential so that we can concentrate and pay attention to our tasks. It ensures that we have the ability to concentrate and retain information in our memory. Impaired memory, difficulty concentrating and cognitive decline as we age are symptoms lacking this essential nutrient. You can see why eggs can help prevent Alzheimer's.
* Improve heart health. Choline converts homocysteine into harmless material. Homocysteine is the substance that can damage your blood vessels and is a precursor to heart disease. Eggs can also decrease your risk for heart attacks and stroke thanks to the anti-clotting agent found in yolks.
* Enhance your vision. The lutein found in eggs can help prevent macular degeneration.
* Nourish expecting mothers and their babies. Egg yolks contain high levels of biotin, a B vitamin that can prevent birth defects. Egg yolks should be a baby's first animal food and can be introduced around six months.
* Aid in fat assimilation. Eggs yolks contain lecithin. In fact, lecithin is the precursor to choline, which helps lower serum cholesterol.

Drugless Methods To Regain Health
The reason I use no drugs is partly because they are ridiculously priced; they are toxic to any living thing, and they are not designed to get your health back. This is not conjecture on my part; I have done the research into the drug cartel.
If the public knew that most all disease was curable, and they knew they could do it with a few dollars to perhaps a few hundred, the drug cartel would lose trillions of dollars. The drug industry is money driven. Not health driven. Which is why cures like the cures for cancer and AIDS have been suppressed.
So to add a little common sense to the mix of health(and I've said similar before), to regain or maintain health, some tips would be to:
Eat natural foods as much as possible. Meaning raw, and preferably organic.
Leave chemicals alone. Don't buy them, don't use them. You do NOT need them for anything. Chemicals kill.
Citrus foods such as grapefruit and lemon have a component called Limonene, which is known to be anti-cancerous.
Green foods(must be raw) are high in chlorophyll, which adds oxygen to the body. When a disease like cancer hits, lack of oxygen is at the root of the problem. Remember this. There may be a test coming up. Down the road that you may have to answer for yourself, how to get rid of cancer. Many green foods are also very high in a wide variety of nutrients.
Raw foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, spinach, radish, etc.; all speed up your metabolism and feed the body crucial enzymes. Want to lose weight? Drink more 'clean' water(no chloride or fluoride), and eat raw foods.
Kelp and many other seaweeds add necessary iodine into the body to help the thyroid. The thyroid is critical to maintaining your health.
Get direct daytime sun as much as possible without burning the skin. Stay away from sunscreen. It is not the sun that causes cancers. It is sunscreen and the chemicals you put on the body after a burn that cause cancer. And I can you you thinking; "of course the sun can cause cancer". I am here to be a little bit in your face and tell you it does not. Let me explain......
Since we know the cause of cancer is always a lack of oxygen to the cells, which in turn prevents nutrients from entering the cells, what does the sun do? Why it dries out the skin of course. Adding sunscreen is harmful in at least three respects.
One is that is suffocates the skin(cancer causing). Another is nearly all of it has chemicals(cancer causing), and the final that I know if is that it prevents most of the absorption of sunlight which allows the body to create vitamin D, the most powerful anti-cancer vitamin known.
So not only are you causing cancer by using sunscreen, you are preventing the body from healing itself by blocking the UV rays which allow the body to manufacture vitamin D. And you may be thinking, "But I will just add vitamin D capsules into the diet". While this may be beneficial, it is not a highly reliable method.
Supplementation of D is not nearly as effective as direct sunlight. And there is a good chance of overdosing on supplementation of that vitamin. This harms parts of your body including the kidneys.
It is rare that overdosing on vitamin D happens while using sunlight as your prime source. If you take supplemental D, it would be best to have your vitamin D levels checked every few months. Most of the health experts agree those levels should be checked about every 3 months.
Therapeutic quality Lavender oil can help alleviate burns and also add essential nutrient back into the skin.

Since we know the cause of cancer is always a lack of oxygen to the cells, which in turn prevents nutrients from entering the cells, what does the sun do? Why it dries out the skin of course. Adding sunscreen is harmful in at least three respects.
One is that is suffocates the skin(cancer causing). Another is nearly all of it has chemicals(cancer causing), and the final that I know if is that it prevents most of the absorption of sunlight which allows the body to create vitamin D, the most powerful anti-cancer vitamin known.
So not only are you causing cancer by using sunscreen, you are preventing the body from healing itself by blocking the UV rays which allow the body to manufacture vitamin D. And you may be thinking, "But I will just add vitamin D capsules into the diet". While this may be beneficial, it is not a highly reliable method.
Supplementation of D is not nearly as effective as direct sunlight. And there is a good chance of overdosing on supplementation of that vitamin. This harms parts of your body including the kidneys.
It is rare that overdosing on vitamin D happens while using sunlight as your prime source. If you take supplemental D, it would be best to have your vitamin D levels checked every few months. Most of the health experts agree those levels should be checked about every 3 months.
Therapeutic quality Lavender oil can help alleviate burns and also add essential nutrient back into the skin.

The Multi-Faceted Sides Of Alternative Health
There are many ways to regain your health. Much of it is simply common sense and the following through with that and the knowledge of what and how things work in life.
Herbs for instance, if properly grown and eaten fresh, can be very highly beneficial. Properly grown means in good soil, with proper nutrients and sun, and without chemicals of any kind.
Aromatherapy, therapeutic quality only, is considerably more powerful than the herbs. This being the case, it would be a wise choice, if you have not used these before, to gain knowledge, and preferably the one-on-one help from someone who does use this method. This is one of the most powerful methods of healing known. This is one of my preferred choices, particularly when working with serious diseases.
Energy Healing, such as Quantum Touch and Reiki, can be very powerful. I use Quantum Touch, and have also used it on myself to help set and heal a broken bone.
Anger Management. Anger has a very detrimental effect on health, both physical and mental. Your attitude; in truth, your outlook on life, can dictate whether you are very healthy or whether you have serious illness or/and mental issues.
Holistic Healing is taking care of the body as a complete entity. Each time you treat an illness, you treat the body. Not a part of it. All of it. A very wise method of health. And granted, at times, one must focus on a certain aspect of the body or mind. Yet the whole must also be addressed to regain health to where it should be.
Magnetic Energy is another valuable method of helping the body heal itself. All things are electrical. Once this is understood, magnetic energy is often sought to correct certain imbalances of the body. There are ways to address this without using magnets, but not enough room here to get into it.
These are just some of the drugless methods of healing. Medical drugs do not help one heal. They sometimes appear to do so, but they do not. This is easily provable.
