Dietary Suggestions For A Young Gynmnast 14 y
Chef Jem's offers dietary suggestions for a young gymnast.
A young lady (possibly in high school) who is a gymnast asked what she should eat.
She said her current diet consists of:
Breakfast: 1 Scrambled egg with a little bit of cheese and a piece of toast.
Lunch: Caesar Salad with cheese and boiled egg.
Snack: Apple and Crackers
Dinner: Usually pasta and chicken
I replied at All Experts:
Okay, let’s look at just what you are sharing here (although there is virtually everything else with all the other factors that could also be considered; maybe another time).
Here are some things that you may want to consider. First, how do you ... read more Asking Questions at All Experts 14 y
How to ask (and not ask) Chef Jem questions regarding personal nutrition at All Experts.com
Effective and appropriate dietary changes require a certain kind of self-awareness and some attention to details. This requirement as well as all the self-knowledge that comes from one’s own unique path of nourishment offers one a reliable light for dietary illumination.
The body is in an ongoing process of change. There are different processes going on and / or that can occur from one day to the next (and at times even more frequently) and therefore our nutritional needs vary according to what’s happening in the body and in other ways (i.e. mentally, emotionally). The needs are very di ... read more Dr. Price On Sacred Foods 15 y

”Anglo-Egyptian Sudan has an area approximately one-third that of the United States. It is traversed throughout its length from south to north by the Nile. There are several tribes living along this great waterway, which are of special interest now owing to their close proximity to Ethiopia. There are wonderful hunters and warriors among them. In hunting they use their long-bladed spears almost entirely. The shores of the Nile for nearly a thousand miles in this district are lined with papyrus and other water plants to a depth of from several hundred yards to a few miles. Back of this area ... read more Possibly the Quickest, Easiest, Most Economical and Even a Most Interesting Way to Learn What Nutrient-Dense Foods Are! 15 y

Weston A. Price quotes regarding the fat-soluble activators from "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration"
Weston A. Price:
”We are primarily concerned here with the quality of the teeth and the development of the faces that are associated with such splendid hearts and unusual physiques. I made studies of both adults and growing boys and girls, during the summer of 1931, and arranged to have samples of food, particularly dairy products, sent to me about twice a month, summer and winter. These products have been tested for their mineral and vitamin contents, particularly the fat-soluble activators. The samples were found to be high in vitamins and much higher than the average samples of commerc ... read more Sally Fallon on Nutrient Dense Foods 15 y
Sally Fallon on the real reason to eat grass-fed animal foods.
”... the key thing we can say with confidence is that there are much higher levels of fat-soluble activators in grass-fed butter, egg yolks, lard, etc.
10-13 times more vitamin A in butter, 8 times more vitamin D in yolks, 12 times more vitamin D in lard--compared to conventional.
This is the real reason to eat grass-fed animal foods--not because of omega-3 fatty acids, and certainly not because grass-fed meat is leaner.”

Information for anyone preferring truly raw and unheated food products.
Just read on one of my lists that shipping ”trucks were said to reach 180* during the summer months”
This can be an issue when you want an all raw food product that hasn’t been heated like honey. ”It may have been processed and packed raw ... but if you don’t take into
account how it is shipped you may not be getting what you really want.” visit the page "There Is No Substitute For Water" 15 y

Quote from one of several informative interviews on sustainable agriculture in "Nutrition Rules!" by Graeme Sait
Website: http://www.nutri-tech.com.au
Bruce Tainio: ”.... There are restrictions in organics that are unnecessary. There is far more emphasis on chemical-free than nutrition-rich, which is absurd because the two are inter-linked. The consumer gets flawed, nutritionally unbalanced organic food and it’s not good for anyone. The ultimate goal is human nutrition. I’ve been an advocate, for
many years, of the idea that we don’t need a national health care program - we need a back-to-basics agricultural program to get every one eating decent, nutritionally balanced food. Then the health ... read more "We Have No Idea What We Are Eating" 15 y

Dr. Michael Eades from Protein Power (who is definitely not a vegetarian) said this book was phenomenal. Here’s part of what he had to say:
”But I can tell you that Lierre Keith’s book is beyond fantastic. It is easily the best book I’ve read since Mistakes Were Made, maybe even better.

Hypothyroidism Articulated As An Intelligent Biological Program.
According to the New Medicine paradigm known as German New Medicine (see my previous blogs) what western medicine calls ”disease” is clearly articulated as a biological program that is run by our very own innate intelligence in order to process shock conflicts that originate in the psyche, physically ”register” in an area in the brain that corresponds with the nature of the conflict and which in turn manifests in the body at a location (typically an organ) that is controlled by that part of the brain.

”The Natural Medicine Journal reviewed a JAMA paper[6] that analyzed 33 randomized clinical trials on the effects of Vit D and calcium on fractures. The results were quite surprising to a public that’s been lead to believe that Vit D is the next best thing to sliced bread. Oh, wait, bread is also out of favor now isn’t it? It seems like everything is being called into question these days. And that’s as it should be.

”Most people know the story of Heidi, the five-year old Swiss girl who lived high up in the Alps, drank raw goat’s milk, ate raw cheese and dark bread, and ran wild outdoors with her friend, Peter. Heidi is famous for her vibrant health, happiness, and sunny disposition. Johanna Spyri, the daughter of a Swiss village doctor, who wrote the story in 1880, could never have imagined the success and popularity her book would enjoy. In those times, doctors used raw milk as a health and curative food. Heidi became a world-wide success story already at the ... read more Former Nurse On The Truth Of Cancer 15 y
A former nurse speaks out against the false belief system about cancer that is a product of people being "manipulated" within the western medical paradigm.
The following includes a perspective on cancer that IMO can be likened unto the same perspective in the German New Medicine paradigm:
”When I worked as a nurse, I was always disappointed to hear that a patient was intending to undergo any sort of surgery, but surgery ’to get the cancer’ made me the craziest. I had learned, from experience, that if I advised a patient not to allow a surgeon, who is totally uneducated on how the mind works, to chop off her breast, the only result was that I got fired; the patient still lost her breast. So, I realized that this is what the patient wanted, ... read more Virus, Bacteria and Other Microbes Perform Many Types of Detoxification 15 y
Several detoxification processes that the body uses to eliminate toxins. "Bacteria is not our problem of disease."
From the book.
”We Want To Live” by Aajonus Vonderplanitz
Detoxification is the metabolic process by which
toxins are changed into less toxic or more excrescent
substances. Virus, bacteria and other microbes perform
many types of detoxification. Stopping them will cause
build-ups that become disease.
Eating a healthy diet of live foods facilitates the
body’s natural detoxification. I do not suggest any one force any type of detoxification, including fasts and colonic.
Every body will have enough colds, flu’s, and short
term aches and pains - which are all detoxification - ... read more |
