I started to read one of Uffe Ravnskov’s books -- The Cholesterol Myth? -- but the science had holes in it. Supposedly, this is the definitive book on disproving cholesterol theories, but if this is the case, then the jury is still out on cholesterol. I have more research to do, obviously, if I ever get to it one day (doubt it), but I have already disproven the pro-cholesterol bandwagon. After I made significant progress with the Weston A.

I totally think cravings are what your body is demanding. But there is a fine line between what body is demanding and what the pleasure/reward center is demanding. The pleasure/reward center in our brain is called the nucleus accumbens, long-term stimulation of the pleasure center drives the process of addiction... When you consume any substance of abuse, including sugar, the nucleus accumbens receives a dopamine signal, from which you experience pleasure. And so you consume more. The problem is that with prolonged exposure, the signal attenuates, gets weaker. So you have to consume more t ...

I would like to tell others of the success I had with changing my diet and using some of the exercises in the book: ”Your plan for natural scoliosis prevention and correction” by Dr Kevin Lau. I bought it on amazon and it opening me up to the problems with bracing and surgery... as he states ”bracing and surgery do not cure scoliosis” it was jammed packed with new food strategies and exercises which have helped to ease the tension and imbalances in my scoliosis. I leant that fixing my digestion was the utmost importance to healing. prior to this book i relied on pain killers and muscle ...

Hello, I made some fermented fish sauce to the recipe in the book several months ago and it has been in the fridge. Only several weeks after I made it, it developed a furry whitish/greenish mould on the top, so I have not touched it since, due to fear of botulism, which apparently shouldn’t breed in kefir/ whey...but why has this happened?! Does anyone have experience in making the fish sauce? Should I throw this one out? I could really do with the benefits of fish sauce as my teeth are not doing well but I’ve felt safer not to touch this! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!   [End]

try different temperatures and see what occurs... The summers here stress the grains something awful, so I usually let my kefir ferment 12 hours or so and then put it in the refrigerator till complete. At which time I start again... You may have to play with it till you find what works where you are, in your environment. grz-   [End]

Hi I have been battling candida and parasites for 3 years now and the only time I made significant progress is when I started taking milk kefir made with good quality raw milk. My god the die off was unbelievable like a really terrible flu, hallucination, barely able to stand, you get the idea but my bloating reduced hugely over a 4 week period, more energy no more coated tongue. Trouble is I could no longer get hold of raw milk and my kefir lost its healing ability almost overnight. I now have a regular supply of good quality raw milk and got some new grains which were incredibly pl ...

HEY! Why are "chemical crops" called "conventional" anyhow? Why doesn’t "conventional" refer to the original food we ate for 100s of 1000s of years? [free of chemicals]. I suppose it is like "conventional medicine", "conventional wisdom" and "conventional science". It is the false thinking that our current way of doing things and current medicine and science are the end-alls, as if we have somehow reached the pinnacle of understanding and expertise at this time.  It is a fallacy that has followed man forever - w ...

Yes, DonQ, thats the rub. Looking forward to future crop nutrition, the health of the soil is paramount. Chemicals will ruin the soil [hence needing more chemicals], whereas organic crops enrich the soil. What DonQ said, yup. Also, if they had tested some of the more well-known ”organic is better” crops, the would have found nutrition is better in the organic crops. Bananas, for one, have 3 times the nutrition of a chemical crop banana. HEY! Why are ”chemical crops” called ”conventional” anyhow?

Lost in the headlines is that the study concentrated only on polyphenols and not at all on overall nutritional value. It did not measure mineral content nor did it measure pesticide content. When crops are grown in conjunction with pesticides and herbicides and when they are grown with non-organic petro-chemical fertilizers that promote growth but not nutrition in soils that are already mineral depleted, the result is less nutrition. The reasons are simple: In order for plants to properly digest and uptake minerals, the presence of soil micro-organisms are essential as is the presence ...

The people that engage in this propaganda are not true scientists. They are science for hire, sell outs. I call them ”scienticians.” This is the way perception is spun. Design the study to craft the results you are after and then advertise it to the world to throw the mainstream crowd off. Perception is reality for most. But a few fall through the cracks and see beyond the traps. ;-)   [End]

Studies like these are designed to give results that those funding are after. Follow the money trail. It leads back to the agenda. When there is that much variance in growing conditions and soil mineralization and organisms, it is easy to get widely varied results. In this case...on purpose. I say on purpose because it is know how minerals get into plants. It is obviously being ignored for the sake of some social engineering benefit. Psy Op.   [End]

That article was likely intended to be misleading as it missed the whole point of organics which are mostly intended to keep pollutants OUT of food such as pesticides. Instead 90% of the article sends the message that ”organics have no benefit”. More evidence of steering truth off a cliff and misleading people into sickness. Studies are for the brainwashed lemmings. Think for yourself.   [End]

I see so many contradicting studies that I’m beginning to ignore them all and use simple reason. Animal nutritionists are acutely aware of the value of minerals and vitamins in livestock health. Soils vary from place to place thus affecting the nutrition of the feed. A good animal scientist will take stool or blood samples to check for proper nutrition and make recommended changes. These nutritional differences vary from farm to farm. No two farms are exactly alike nutritionally. In some regions the soils are devoid of selenium or cobalt, both essential elements for animal life. ...

No nutritional benefit for organic produce, says new study By Nathan Gray, 05-Nov-2010 Organically grown produce may offer no nutritional benefits over traditional growth methods, according to a new study. Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study reports new evidence that organically grown onions, carrots, and potatoes generally do not have higher levels of polyphenol antioxidants than vegetables grown with traditional fertilizers and pesticides. “On the basis of the present study carried out under well controlled conditions, it cannot be concl ...

I have struggled to find a way to keep a proper temperature for fermenting. I live in the South and I don’t’ have a basement or central air. I finally found a solution. Home brewers use external temperature controllers to control the temperature to an old refrigerator or freezer. This works great for fermentation as well as brewing. There is a temperature probe that goes inside the refrigerator runs to a control box outside the fridge to turn on\off power to keep the refrigerator in a good fermantation temperature range. Some of the available models are: RANCO ETC-111000 (digital ...

When consuming various healthy fats, such as fish oil, borage oil, coconut oil, etc., is it better to consume several all together? And thus the body can get what it needs from the mileau of availability? Or is it better to try to segregate the fats and take one at a time, say only fish oil with one meal, only borage with the next, and so on? Let’s say I’m eating a curry made with lots of coconut milk. Is taking a dose of borage oil or flax oil relatively futile, being such a small amount in that sea of coconut fat? - Or taking some cod liver oil at the same meal as eating a whole avoca ...

after reading the first paragraph i thought, primal diet. then i saw you had read the book. but, it doesn’t seem like you are actually going through with the whole primal diet routine, which is more than just eating raw meat. if you can cough up the 375 then have a talk with aajonus and get an individualized plan. as good as the book is, seeing him in person is orders of magnitudes better.   [End]

I don’t do dairy, and the lemon gives my oats a little too much tartness. question #2: I understand that the phytase enzyme in wheat breaks down the phytic acid, so I don’t understand what the pH water/acid medium has anything to do with breaking down the phytic acid.
