Nutrition is one of the most important
aspects of maintaining good
health and supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Suggestions for better nutrition
and better health:
SIMPLE PRINCIPLES FOR
BETTER NUTRITION AND HEALTH.
- If you are experiencing health
problems consult a qualified health practitioner, preferably
holistically oriented. Always use your intuition regarding any
advice you receive from health professionals. Do not allow yourself
to be rushed or scared into doing anything that feels wrong
for you intuitively.
- Avoid chemicals and artificial
preservatives in foods, cosmetics and personal hygiene products.
Avoid over-the-counter chemical medicines (nonprescription drugs
and ointments). Many nonprescription drugs have chemical preservatives
and food colorings. Learn about simple, natural, nonprescription
herbal and homeopathic alternatives to nonprescription drugs.
Avoid eating fish and shellfish due to mercury toxicity and
environmental toxicity. Eating one fish a week may be enough
to cause mercury toxicity. Shellfish concentrates the environmental
toxicity around it by 70,000 times! Be aware of heavy metal
environmental toxicity. If you are over 35 years of age or in
poor health, you should consider EDTA chelation. For more information
read the books: "Forty
Something Forever" by Arlene Brecher and; "By
Passing the Bypass" by Elmer Cranton. You can find
these books at book stores or by phone at 1-800-426-3551. The
information in these books can save your life or somebody you
love. Read it and spread the word.
- Avoid all commercially processed,
prepared and cooked foods, including canned foods. The only
prepared products that should be used are those made from organically
grown foods and prepared without chemical preservatives, food
colorings, hydrogenated fats, modified starches, artificial
sweeteners, and artificial chemical "low fats." Avoid
any food products which have been treated with radioactive materials
or x-rays . Avoid food cooked/processed with microwave ovens.
It is my opinion that these processes alter food and decrease
the bioavailability of its nutritional elements. Irradiation
considerably decreases the energetic and nutritional benefits
of food.
- Avoid sugar in any form. Avoid
honey, or only use it very sparingly. Use natural sweeteners
such as Stevia extract, date syrup, date sugar, and maple syrup,
in moderation. Avoid artificial sweeteners of any kind. Eat
dried fruits instead of candies and cakes.
- Avoid white or enriched flour.
Eat only whole wheat flour which has not been chemically bleached,
preserved or processed.
- Limit your protein consumption
to one half gram protein for each kilogram of body weight per
day (a maximum of one and a half ounces of protein per day for
an average person), preferably from non animal sources. (see
NOTE below). When you eat larger amounts of proteins they are
converted by your body into toxic metabolites, which overload
the liver and kidneys; these metabolites accumulate in your
tissues and contribute to the development of diseases such as
cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic degenerative
conditions. In countries where the consumption of animal proteins
is very low, arteriosclerotic heart disease is very rare; cancer
is also very rare, as are degenerative diseases such as arthritis.
If you choose to eat animal proteins, completely avoid red meat
and pork. Eat only fish and fowl, in small amounts, no more
than two or three times a week. If your current protein consumption
is much higher than one ounce per day, be sure to reduce your
protein intake gradually over two to three months. Drink 6-8
cups of water a day, between meals, to help your body eliminate
the toxins accumulated after years of excessive protein consumption.
- I highly recommend that you
avoid dairy products. Use, rice milk, almond milk, made your
own milk from sunflower seeds or almonds, etc. If you choose
to use dairy products, avoid homogenized milk, (a major contributor
to arteriosclerosis) completely. Instead, use whey milk, natural
yogurt and buttermilk in moderate amounts.
- Do not drink or cook with chlorinated
or fluoridated water. Most cities in the US add fluoride to
the city water and use chlorination.. Their ingestion increases
the production of free radicals which promote degeneration in
your body. Use only natural spring water from a tested source,
or use a good activated charcoal filter.
Do not use reverse osmosis, filters with magnets, or
electronic devices which change the acidity and alkalinity or
distilled water. The natural energetic/information in the water
is changed by these modalities. If you have to use a filter
use only activated sharcoal filter.
- Drink large amounts of spring
water. You may add 1/8 of a teaspoon of natural sea salt to
each 16 OZ bottle (500 cc). Drink up to half you weight in pounds
in ounces. Example 160 pounds person need 80 Oz of water. If
your consumption is considerably less than that increase to
the above amount is done gradually over 7-10 days. If you have
any health problems check with our physician before increasing
the amount of water you drink.. for more information the book
the book: "Your Body's Many Cries for Water: You Are Not
Sick, You Are Thirsty; by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D., is
highly recommended. See list below.
- Avoid drinking water or fluids
with meals, and for one hour before and one hour after meals
(this dilutes gastric acids and digestive enzymes which interferes
with proper digestion). Avoid carbonated drinks and alcoholic
beverages, which also prevent proper digestion; it is preferable
to eliminate them from your diet completely. Avoid very cold
or very hot drinks.
- Do not eat fruits with vegetables,
meats, or grains in the same meal. Eat fruits in-between meals,
or as a meal consisting of fruits only. Eat fruits as a breakfast
and eat other foods after noon. If you do eat fruits around
meals, eat them before other foods and wait half an hour before
you eat other food groups.
- Avoid oils in your cooking.
Do not fry foods in oil. Use only cold-pressed organic oils,
such as safflower, sesame, and olive oil. Avoid margarine and
all commercially processed oils. Avoid soy oil, cotton seed
oil and canola oil, (Which is genetically engineered rape seed
oil which causes brain atrophy) Avoid all fried foods. Avoid
the new low fat foods containing "artificial fat substitutes."
Avoid all irradiated foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
Avoid all genetically engineered foods.
- Eat foods with a high fiber
content: brown rice, oats, bran, couscous, millet, wheat germ,
pastas made from whole wheat, fresh raw vegetables, and sprouted
seeds.
- Avoid eating, or eat in moderation,
vegetables from the nightshade family which includes: white
potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and green and red peppers. Eliminating
them completely can be very helpful for people with arthritis.
- Every day, drink freshly made
vegetable juice such as carrot, celery and/ or any green vegetable.
This is especially important for people with arthritis. Fresh
vegetable juice is also beneficial during recovery from illness,
infection, injury or surgery.
- Avoid mercury fillings (silver
amalgam fillings); if you already have them, get them removed
by an experienced dentist who has been trained and practices
mercury free dentistry (read the books: "Mercury
Free" by Dr. James E. Hardy and "It
is all in your head" by Dr. Hal A. Huggins). Avoid
the use of pesticides and herbicides in your home, garden and
lawn. Use natural alternatives. Follow any of the above suggestions
that feel right for you. The more of them you do, the greater
the health benefits you will enjoy. You can incorporate many
of these suggestions into your lifestyle gradually over a period
of weeks or several months. NOTE: I strongly recommend that
you choose an "animal free diet" (no animal proteins)
as your ultimate goal for optimal health and well-being. I suggest
that you educate yourself on this subject so you can make your
own informed decision.
