Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism maybe a noble attitude but most people who profess this life style are seriously on their way to being very unhealthy.

It is bad enough that the food supply is not healthy ' meat, milk, eggs, processed foods, MSG, Equal, Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, Genetically modified grains ' the list goes on and on. The problem with vegetarians is that they have their principles but no knowledge of why they should eat right or how to do it.

Besides ill health, there are other things that will affect their lives in the years to come. One of the worst is lower fertility with each new generation of vegetarians ' this is separate from all the chemicals of today that causes so much sterility.

Most of the vegetarians that I know live on empty carbs ' breads, cheese pizza, cookies, pasta and some juices, fruits, vegetables, etc. Empty carbs + chemicals aren't a healthy live style.

Pure Food is Good Medicine

Henry Bieler was known as the 'Physician to the Stars,' treating Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo among other celebrities. What set Dr. Bieler apart from other physicians of his day ' a philosophy emphasizing how 'food, not drugs, is your best medicine.'

Hippocrates said, 'Nature Heals; the physician is only nature's assistant.' For disease, Hippocrates prescribed a diet regimen first, medicine second, and surgery last. Today medicine has turned that around ' more money, more money, and no money.

Bieler observed some common sense conclusions; using drugs for treatment is often harmful, causing serious side effects; most illnesses 'can be cured through the proper use of foods' & periods of fasting to detoxify the body; the build up of chemical toxins in the body causes disease; 'we have become so preoccupied with synthesizing chemicals in the laboratory that we have lost sight of the fact that these same chemicals have been lodged in our foods for thousands of years'; Using synthetic vitamins does nothing for human health and depletes ourselves financially. Processed foods eaten today are 'about as far removed from the natural diet of man as man is from his primitive jungle' strangely enough, humans still have approximately the same digestive system and liver as our ancestors.'

Mankind has fallen prey to advertising of processed industrial food manufacturer's and pharmaceutical corporations that good health is something that can only be purchased in a bottle.

Bieler's insights have been affirmed by Jean Carper, author of 'Food; Your Miracle Medicine and The Food Pharmacy'. Carper researched thousands of medical studies at major Universities & stated, 'Mother Nature is truly the world's oldest and greatest pharmacist.'

Foods can induce a range of therapeutic effects on bodily functions, acting as anticoagulants, analgesics, sedatives, cholesterol reducers, cancer fighters, immune stimulators, anti-inflammatories, to only mention a few.

Whole food, grown on organic, nutrient-rich and chemical-free soil in a clean environment, provides the body with a synergistic array of thousands of known and unknown antioxidants, nutrients, and powerful nutraceutical compounds.

Finally, we have this perspective from T. Colin Campbell, professor at Cornell University. He identified some important principles linking nutrition and health; (1) Nutrition represents the combined activities of countless food substances.

(2) Genes do not determine diseases, but are activated as a result of nutrition. (3) Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of toxic chemicals that we ingest.

Unhealthy Soil = Unhealthy Plants and Animals = Unhealthy People. You can't have healthy people without trace minerals in soil and foods. You can't use toxic chemicals to fertilize the soil and you can't use toxic chemicals to get rid of weeds (herbicides) and bugs (pesticides).

Sixty- five percent of the adult population has a degenerative disease, childhood cancer is rising, Alzheimer's is an epidemic, kids are being diagnosed with ADD and ADHD & the list goes on.

Until you find a source of healthy food grown with trace minerals and without chemicals, you need to supplement three primary things - 92 trace minerals, healthful non-toxic fish oils, and a detoxification product.

Watch for Dr Bob's Total Ocean Nutrition products in the near future. (1)Ocean Minerals ' 30 cents per day(2)Virgin non-toxic salmon oil ' 44 cents per day(3)Humates FP ' 66 cents per day

With this list of three items plus the healthiest foods you can find ' (organic if possible and as local as possible, the farther the shipping distance the poorer the food quality) ' 50 to 70 percent of disease in the USA can be prevented.
