2. Regular nutrition: The average diet by people that aren’t pronounced terminal or have any major health issues.

The theories about diet range from the strict vegetarians, to the meat eaters, to the transmutationists, to the eat what you were raised eating believers, and everything in between. So it’s rather difficult to come up with a specific regime for folks to do.

It all comes down to what works for you. The controversy is between vegetarians and the meat eaters.

My experience with the vegetarian diet tells me there’s something missing in it. And there’s many different vegetarian ways to go. But I very rarely see it work for any length of time and has been a considerable challenge professionally for me. It seems to cause structural weakness, which means the patients adjustments won’t hold. And if the patient has any athletic aspirations it’s a sure bet he (or she) is going to break down and be seriously injured.

Plus, the statistics are not good for the vegetarians. They die younger and the vegetarian kids seem to catch every little thing that comes along

That’s not to say I’m against the vegetarian way. If you can make it work for yourself go for it. I know people that can. Theoretically it makes all the sense in the world but it just doesn’t seem to hold up in reality. The scientists say it has to do with vitamin B12 and meat protein versus plant protein.

Of course it would help if the meat wasn’t loaded with female hormones (estrogen) or cut with fillers (soy). Estrogen fattens the beef, poultry and even the fish are getting it. And soy is just plain bad all the way around. So try to get your meats from estrogen (hormone) free animals. Fortunately that’s getting easier to do.

My personal experience with diet that makes me question the vegetarian way goes back to Vietnam when I was sick and in the hospital for three weeks. I’m 6 foot tall. I went in at 122 pounds. In three weeks I put on 30 pounds and was out in the jungle within three days from being released from the hospital. After almost three months in the jungle I was in the best physical shape in my life. I was physically perfect and mentally sharp as a tack. It was great.

That happened on Army chow. Mostly C-Rations and dehydrated food. We got one hot meal a week but on the firebase we ate very good. Plenty of meat and potatoes, homemade bread, waffles, eggs, bacon, etc. They fed us very well on the firebase but in the jungle it was C-Rations and dehydrated food.

I put on 40 pounds and was in the best shape of my life on that food. No raw food at all and far removed from a vegetarian diet. Very few vegetables matter of fact. How do you explain that and insist the only way to go is vegetarian. It doesn’t square.

Plus, when I was sick I would get cravings for lunchmeat. Yeah, bologna, hot dogs, pepperoni, kielbasa, etc. I know that stuff is not supposed to be good for you but I ate it anyway. Later on I learned that the sausages are made from organ meats. Heart, lungs, liver, brain, etc.

Turns out that the organ meats are essential for the rebuilding of the organs. They need the RNA and DNA from organ meats to regenerate. I had a poisoned, damaged liver so the other organs weren’t doing that well either so I developed and strong desire for organ meats. Re: bologna, hot dogs, pepperoni, etc. And I ate them. Sure the nitrites and nitrates aren’t good but apparently that didn’t matter to my body.

In my studies of the societies that routinely live to be over 100 years old I discovered that many of them not only ate meat, but also the organs of the animals they butchered. Even the blood. They didn’t waste any part of the animal. And back in the old west the cooks used to throw calves brains in with the beans.

Plus, if you take a look at nature there are many vegetarian animals and many meat-eating animals. The vegetarian animals need extra stomachs and intestines to process their food and are usually very big and ponderous animals while the meat eaters are generally slim and fast.

So, with the experiences I’ve had with meat and organ meat the vegetarian diet just plain doesn’t make sense to me. My vegetarian patients adjustments don’t hold like they should and technically because of the RNA and DNA requirements it makes sense that the muscles and organs of the body can regenerate much easier with meat and organ meat than they can with vegetables and fruit. Plus, I don’t have four stomachs and a lot of extra intestine to process the vegetation.

But even with all that I’m not against the vegetarian way. If it works for you, more power to you. Theoretically it makes sense but it didn’t work for me and I very rarely see it work for others especially if weakened by disease.

Regular Nutrition

1. As a general rule eat what makes you feel good the next day. Food that makes you feel strong physically and alert mentally THE NEXT DAY.

The fast food, sugar, coffee and all the other junk out there makes you feel good right now but not tomorrow, which makes you want another fix of the junk you ate yesterday until you eventually break down and are forced into terminal nutrition.

So eat what makes you feel good tomorrow. Play around with this. Monitor your strength and mental alertness. Do some homework on yourself. Find out what your bodies requirements are.

2. Distilled water: Drink it for the rest of your life. Make your teas, soups, coffees, juices from distilled water.

3. Omega 3’s: Everyday for the rest of your life take either flaxseed oil or olive oil. At least one tablespoon. Preferably before bed. Wash it down with fruit juice. Use butter NOT margarine.

Those two things right there, distilled water and Omega 3’s, will go a long way to prevent cancer, heart disease and arthritis. The big three.

4. Sugars, breads and potatoes: No refined sugar. Sweeten with honey, maple syrup or unrefined sugar.
Breads: No wheat, go with rye. The Romans had a saying way back when. “If you want to get fat - eat wheat. If you want to get strong - eat rye”. It’s impossible to find rye bread without a little bit of wheat in it, go with rye anyway.
The best bread is Sprouted Grain bread. Once sprouted the grain is usable by the body. Before a grain sprouts the shell of the grain has digestive inhibitors in it and actually slows the digestive process. Sprouted grains are great. Sour dough bread is also good.
Potatoes: Raw if you want, otherwise just stay away from them.

Sugars, breads, and potatoes make you fat. It’s too much instant energy for the body to handle so it stores it away as fat. Unless you’re an athlete that needs to carbo load before an event.

5. Keep an eye on the ingredients. Minimize the poisons you’re getting in the food. Some of it is unavoidable like High Fructose Corn Syrup. They put that stuff in everything so it’s impossible to avoid. But things like aspartame, MSG, nitrates and nitrites, in general if the word is too big and you can’t even pronounce it don’t eat it.

6. Eat as much raw and unprocessed food as you can.
7. Enjoy what you eat. And don’t be afraid to blow it every now and then. I’ve come to think that it’s almost good for you to say “hell with it” every now and then and have that elephant ear or hot fudge sundae.

8. Be at peace when you eat. No arguing at the dinner table. No watching the news on TV while eating. Keep it light and friendly while eating.

Good old regular nutrition.

Eat what makes you feel good tomorrow.
Drink distilled water.
Take your Omega 3’s.
Stay away from the starchy sweet stuff.
Minimize the poisons.
Plenty of raw unprocessed foods.
Enjoy your food.
Be at peace while eating.
