Diet/Food our best medicine??

[jonge]

hey guys,

i dont post here very often. my name is jon and im a 23 yr old student from ireland. i was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis its a disease similiar to crohns disease except it effects the big intestine instead of the small intestine.

the doctors have told me that there is no cure and that diet doesnt play a role. however i have found a book on the internet that says that diet can cure you and most other medical problems. its called self healing colitis and crohns.

basically i was wonderiong if any of you guys had any info or links you could share with me about how the role of diet in illnesses is ignored enabling pharmaceutical companies to profit.

there was a video i seen on youtube by an author who claims diet can cure most illnesses, but i cant remember what its called. does anyone know.

thanks,

Jon

Probiotics!

Aloe Vera gel, get it from the health food store and drink it!

Being vegetarian and even raw foodist would really help, too.

Good luck!

I'm not familiar with your condition or the book you mentioned, but I can personally attest to nutrition as a healing agent. Probably the most major example, is when I broke some disks in my back, and was of course offered the standard drugs and surgery. I was in constant pain since it happened when I was 15, but I started taking chelated calcium and magnesium last year, and for the first time since the injury I have been pain free.

A consensus among natural physicians, is that most back pain can be traced to not properly absorbing calcium, regardless of how you may have been injured. The trick is to find a calcium that your body is guaranteed to absorb, such as the chelated type. I believe this is suppressed information, as people do not have to have be in this kind of pain. I have to admit I am a little resentful because of what I had to endure for 10 years, tears streaming down my face just trying to walk up a set of stairs, never knowing that the solution to the pain was so cheap and simple.

Diet plays a role in almost every medical disorder. You would be amazed what even mainstream nutritional science research has shown things such as the effects of n-3 to n-6 (omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in layman's terms) ratios in your diet on everything from blood cloting to strokes, heart attacks and even asthema due to their effects on the production of inflamitory and anti-inflamitory prostiglandins.

Unfortunately I live in a nation where the majority of even college educated individuals are clueless in the area of nutritional science, with approximately a 1st grade education level in this area. That nation being the United States. Most people I know, even those with post-graduate degrees, have virtually no concept of what a healthy or balanced diet would even contain. They use lines such as "Well THEY (RIP Nietzsche) are always changing their minds on what is good or bad for you." or "Well I just eat what I want because everything is bad for you anyways..." etc.

Look into the raw food diet...People have done amazing things with it.

I am on it at the moment if you look at the health/medical section of the forum...

[Ratiocinator]

Mainstream doctors are full of shit. Speaking of which: Get yourself some cathartic herbs, and clean your bowel. Utilise high enemas, and do a lot of them. The first thing you should do is stop what you were doing that caused this condition. Get rid of all animal foods from your diet, as well as processed foods, fizzy drinks, and etcetera.

I would suggest you go on a juice fast; get a decent juicer and drink fresh-made juices daily. Exercise is important, as is fresh air, sunlight, positivity / mental attitude, detox (including cosmetics, shampoos, etc., cleaning chemicals), avoiding stress, and ameliorating any unresolved psychological issues.

Try to eat only organic whole foods (and their juices), and have your diet consist of as much raw as possible; preferably it should be 100% raw but certainly no less than 70%.

Follow the link, below, for a thread linking to some excellent videos of Dr. Richard Schulze. He should clear one or two things up for you:

Food heals, but mainstream food, which is not actually food, as such, but merely poison posing as an illusion of food, kills.

Welcome to the culture of life!

Rationcinator gave some great advice above (may sound drastic to begin with) but better to stop things becoming worse now. I suffered with the typical catch all title of "irritable bowel syndrome", no cure for that. It was very frustrating to me because I have been vegetarian for many years and took care of myself & couldn't understand why I was having all these nasty symptoms. I did my own research and decided to stop eating anything with "gluten" in it. Bingo, I found the problem. So in addition to all the other advice given here, eliminate "gluten" from your diet. This means reading labels. They put gluten in everything just about, so be careful. People in the past who suffered with gluten intolerance were called "celiacs" & still are today. It was a rare condition in the past, but not anymore. I found out through my research that many people are now demanding testing for this condition. My theory is the "genetically engineered wheat, rye, crops" I think our digestive system cannot process this unnatural food. I concur with others posts on here, a truly healthy diet is the key to most of our health problems.....best wishes for a fantastic recovery.

Yes, gluten free helps clear you out quite a lot...I did this for a few months and then I found that I had the strength to go further into a full raw diet.

In gluten free, you can drink goats milk and eat goats cheese so I was pretty satisfied but also detoxing at the same time.

This book made alot of sense to me:

Get yourself a copy, do the things he says and you'll be feeling better than youve ever felt.

I will give it to you short and sweet. Broccoli and flax seeds are your freinds.

[fuggles]

Also, pharmaceuticals, technically are nature.

Can someone please tell me what the main ingredient is in most tablets and drugs from the pharmacy ? My dad takes blood pressure pills and he says they use snake poison in them because it lowers your blood pressure ??? And my dad just accepts that as the norm.

Most of the pharmaceaticuls just go to the Amazon rainforest, bring back a few plants, genetically modify them and replicate them, find the active ingredient, replicate it and sell it ! Or am i wrong ?

But my main question is, whats the main ingredients (on simple terms please) can anyone tell me what the main ingredient is in the pharmaceuticals ?

Most pharmaceuticals are petrochemical based and some are more of a placebo effect that anything else. Pharmaceuticals do more harm than good to your body; I might suggest you father try CoQ10, red-yeast rice and garlic to take his blood presser down, all are really good for the heart.

[jonge]

hey guys,

thanks a million for all the replies, youve certainly all given me food for thought,(pardon the pun). i didnt expect to see so many replies. I have been on a vegan diet now for over a week and do feel better. I am only drinking water as well, even when going to the pub which is difficult. but I just want to get over this illness.

Thanks again, I will keep ye all updated with my progress

www.mercola.com loads and loads of information on diet and diet related illnesses. I have personally found some of the information on that site more than worth its weight in gold.

Excellent video:

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-568252164579596678&q=how+to+supercharge+your+immune+system&total=1&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

If you haven't already done so, give up drinking pasteurized milk. If you must drink milk at all, drink it unpasteurized. It tastes very different and also contains things which help your digestive system.

If you can get a kefir starter kit that can help too.

I wish you all the very best. Changing your diet is hard to do, but well worth it in the long run. :)

There is lots you can do, many people have reversed their conditions by changing their diet.

Be very careful with the info from this video. The guy giving the talk is in the animal agriculture industry and speaks on behalf of a despicable, deceitful. Propaganda outfit known as The Weston A. Price Foundation. This Foundation, and its proponents, have vested interests in the meat and dairy industry (death industries); they ignore certain facts just to push their injurious agenda.

For example: Jerry Brunetti, the guy in the video, pushes animal foods as plant foods contain zero cholesterol. This is but one of the very reasons why not to eat any animal foods! This liar claims that we need animal foods because we need cholesterol. What the cretin neglected to say is that the human body easily produces all the cholesterol it needs all by itself, and the cholesterol in animal foods is alien to the human body as it takes an unnatural form to that which we require.

I would stick with Dr. Schulze. Mercola is a propagandist business man too. He mixes a little good info with a lot of bad, deceitful info.

This is exactly what i try and explain to my friends.
Meat is a zero cholesterol food.
You see our body does not use meat cholesterol and therefore an Atkins style diet actually lowers body cholesterol.

Eating sugar and carbs increases cholesterol because this is how our bodies make it. A Sheep for example eats no meat yet the body has fat and cholesterol which it clearly makes by converting the starch found in grain based animal feeds.

Our brains are made of cholesterol.

I understand the veggie argument that meat is murder.
But the cholesterol argument is wrong. Meat is good for you.

Utter poppycock. Why is, then, that people on a meat and dairy diet develop heart disease and very high cholesterol, but when they eliminate all animal foods from their diet and adopt a plant based diet, their cholesterol level drops and their hearts become healthier?

Dr Atkins!! Would that be the same late Dr, Atkins who owned a company specialising in chemotherapy drug administering devices?

Eating sugar and carbs increases cholesterol because this is how our bodies make it. A Sheep for example eats no meat yet the body has fat and cholesterol which it clearly makes by converting the starch found in grain based animal feeds.

All animals have cholesterol, including humans who live on a 100% plant diet. Our bodies manufacture it, and manufacture it from nutrients found in plants. Animal cholesterol is an assault against the body and does nothing but clog arteries.

The sheep example is perfect for illustrating that we should do away with animal foods: Sheep, on their more natural diet, develop all the cholesterol they need themselves. Their bodies regulate the amount of cholesterol in the system by only producing what is needed. When preformed cholesterol from animal foods is ingested, the body is overwhelmed and suffers the consequences.

I understand the veggie argument that meat is murder.
But the cholesterol argument is wrong. Meat is good for you.

Clearly you do not understand the ‘vegetarian argument’ otherwise you would not be making such a ludicrous and easily, demonstrably, refuted claim that the putrefying dead flesh of tortured animals is good. It is not good, and you have offered nothing at all to show that it would be. You continue to post this crap throughout this forum, and you rarely reply to posts proving yours to be completely erroneous.

Are you in the animal agriculture business? Either you are or you are a provocateur. You continuously and systematically choose to ignore posted information that shows what you claim to be utterly untrue.

There is the Hay system in which you do not combine protein and starch in the same meal. This has been shown to have great helath benefits.

In general, I am sceptical of modern medicine's ability to heal completely, and am convincd that more traditional, natural means can heal any ailment.

Fair enough you can get protien without starch in the same meal, Adkins diet anyone (which actually causes weight loss via ketosis, by consuming large amounts of fat with zero carbohydrates and has nothing to do with the protien per se)?.... but how how exactally would you eat starch without any protien? Name a naturally occuring food, off the top of your head, that fits this description?

Also, what are the health benefits to such a concept, and how exactally would seperating starch and protien accomplish this?

Meat is actually not good for you. We are humans, & therefore it is contrary for us to eat the flesh of another species. Aside from this point, if one is interested in increasing ones vibration, one must stay away from all animal products, since their vibration is a much lower frequency. I have experimented with this myself, & definitely noticed the difference. To increase ones vibration, one should ideally eat an organic fresh from the garden to the table diet of preferably raw fruits, veggies, some nuts and seeds. Actually a healthy diet is really simple and easy to do. Much less work than the traditional toxic diet that is promoted.

Agreed. Also it is important to note that a TRUELY healthy diet does not contain large amounts of grains either.

The book says that while some foods do contain both, it is not in a way that is detrimental to the health of the consumer.

The main point is that digestion is much improved when a meal is starch or protein only, using research findings.

The main starch food would be potatos, the main protein lean white meat (the book recommends a very limited amouint of red meat).

I personally would count a potato as a fairly unhealthy food (as far as natural foods go), even when baked, due to the high glycemic index. I've never seen any information on seperating carbs and protien as having any type of health benefit, so this was why I inquired further.

But hey, don't forget that without a healthy mind-set, all the 'naturalness' in the world won't amount to much. Our physical bodies are the exact mirror of the way we think. Foods don't kill - thoughts & beliefs do.

This is true, but poor dietary choices actually suppress one’s ability to shine this way. And although mind is the principal power (mind over matter) do not expect to get healthy on eating McShit while believing it to be the most nourishing substance ever; no one is that strong. And, as Dr. Gabriel Cousens wrote in his book Conscious Eating, instead of expending one’s energy (and a massive amount of energy) in mentally trying to treat bad food as good food, that energy would be better spent listening to the messages in the food, assimilating the healthy food as greatly as possible, and exalting oneself on the subtle energies in the food.

This is true especially for someone with a health problem; such a person needs all the help and advantages they can possible get. Their route to health needs to be as simple and easy as possible. They need a helicopter ride to the top of the mountain rather than to scale that peak by climbing the steep rocky walls.

For example: Jerry Brunetti, the guy in the video, pushes animal foods as plant foods contain zero cholesterol.

What I do is take out the best of what he says and the best of what Mercola says. Some of the things Mercola says in particular makes my hair curl at times, but just like when I read Icke, or anyone else for that matter, I go away and do my own research, and then draw my own conclusions.

I am going to post something on carbohydrates next. I found the information whilst I was going through what my former endocrinologist is researching at the moment. Even when the information comes from a professor of endocrinology, I always have a look to see what other information is out there, and then either reach a conclusion, or start asking more questions. Everyone works to their own agenda, or perceives the world through their own eyes :)

[fransetter]

It would appear that many people suffer from carbohydrate intolerances, myself included. However, when you are vegetarian, and eat mostly raw, eliminating carbohydrates can be very difficult, or as Jerry Brunetti says in his video, nigh on impossible. I do my best, but then I fail and find myself going backwards.

I just took a very quick look at the above link. This carbs problem, is it merely to do with a lack of the correct enzymes? Surely, if that is the case, eating only raw carbs would solve the problem, because raw carbs contain living enzymes (unlike all cooked foods) thus saving the body the burden of producing its own (ergo if the body does not produce its own, then it would not matter)? Is there more to it than that (perhaps different types of enzymes)?

[fransetter]

Yes and no. Eating raw veg is better for you as they do contain enzymes which help to lessen the burden on the body. However, there are other enzymes which if lacking in the body can still cause problems with digestion.

It seems I am only able to eat raw veg these days. In my case there also appears to be a link between this and glucose intolerance. I am reading up more on this at the moment as I have an awful lot of questions to put to my endocrinologist next time I see him. As per usual this all seems far more complex than it appears on the surface.

There most definately is a cure, and it is directly relatd to your diet, whatever your doctor tels you owe it to yourself to do the opposite, watch a lecture on you tube by Paul Nison at Exotic Superfoods,

3-Paul Nison@Exotic - YouTube

Try this, ask your doctor if he thinks your condition is related to your diet, ost likely answer, nah, definately not, but here, swallow this pill to help you deal with it. Doctors are robots, they dish out the info they are fed by pharma. Pharma doesn't want the people to know that its food that makes us il ad kills us, and its food tat hals us.

also check out codex alimetarius lecture by Ian Crane.

Let me reeat, your condition IS curable, as aremany other illensses, through diet.

hey, thanks for all the words of encouragement. ive seen the paul nison vid on youtube and was impressed, so i have bought his book on curing the disease. i will be sure to keep you guys updated on my progress.

[wacaday]

Hi Carole21,

its not what you eat that heals you, its what you leave out of your diet that makes the difference.

for gout, try a combination of increasing green foods, some enzyme therapy, cut out cooked fats and salt. see if that helps to begin with

[mightiswrong]

In the ringing cedars series Anastasia says that fresh food grown in your own garden will cure any and all diseases. Specifically the bond you have with the plants you have grown allows the plants to produce specific compounds especially to heel you and protect you from disease. I would def give it a go and recommend you read up on this info.

Specifically fresh does not mean picked before it was ripe and storred in a freezer and 3 weeks in transport etc. This is why the food must be grown locally. The love bond you have with the plants is not something a commercial farmer even a local organic farmer can offer. end of story. you have to grow your own. She says to impart information to the seeds by holding them in your mouth and washing yourself near the plants so that they can create food to heel you. But we warned some seeds are covered in chemicals so it is advised to source your seeds carefully.

What the cretin neglected to say is that the human body easily produces all the cholesterol it needs all by itself, and the cholesterol in animal foods is alien to the human body as it takes an unnatural form to that which we require.

I would stick with Dr. Schulze (video link posted earlier in this thread). Mercola is a propagandist business man too. He mixes a little good info with a lot of bad, deceitful info.

Not sure about David Wolfe having read other threads elsewhere, but thanks for all the info, I will certainly make my way through them and pass them onto other interested parties too.

I was one of those who posted concerns about Wolfe, in a thread here well over a year ago. But, months later, I read his Sunfood Success System book, and it is absolutely amazing; it covers a massive range of issues and goes well beyond nutrition and dietary choices. It is a book that encompasses just about all of the fundamental subjects, including the origins of humanity (it methodically slams Darwinism and carbon dating). It is well over 600-pages, but an easy, enlightening, and extremely uplifting read. It is definitely a book that should be judged by its cover:

My God, it was not me. I try not to post shit (no offense), including shit that mixes some good info with a lot of massively damaging, deleterious, info, such as what that liar, manipulator, propagandist, and animal agriculture business man Jerry Brunetti does.

[raptorialis]

Well i watched the video and i have to say i was very impressed by his knowledge and much of what he said about the role of diet in helping cancer sufferers i can relate too. There was nothing in what Jerry said that would put anyone to harm and also Jerry is a terminal cancer sufferer himself and he lost his partner through it a few years back.

I don't take anything people say literally anyway, but i did feel the information he offered opened my mind to thinking of more options when dealing with cancer, rather than the usual chemo, radio-therapy options etc.

OK, if his account is the first you have heard of a person healing themselves through diet then I understand your enthusiasm. But understand this: He has vested interests in animal agriculture, which is a despicable industry that kills billions of animals each year under horrendous conditions, regardless of what people want to believe about it, and also causes millions of humans to develop serious diseases. Brunetti has another video out in which he describes what he did to heal his cancer; he used an enormous amount of herbs, supplements and plant foods. He added some animal foods, but that was not what cured him. He was cured despite the animal foods (if he actually even ate them. He is a liar, after all). Animal foods feed the culture of death and have no place in a healthy person’s diet.

Go back into this thread and follow the link to the Dr. Schulze videos. Schulze, when he practiced natural healing (the FDA shut him down in the end. Too much competition for big Pharma), he would not even deal with people, his patients, if they did not get rid of the animal foods from their diet. He, in his videos, speaks of countless cases where people were healed just through giving up animal foods. Prof. T. Colin Campbell, in his book The China Study, proves a very clear relationship between the development of serious disease and the consumption of animal foods (proteins and fats).

Schulze began his natural healing career when he ran away from a hospital before he was due to undergo open heart surgery. He gave up all animal foods and adopted a pure vegan diet. On this diet he healed himself.

Follow the links I posted here and you will hear of a massive number of accounts of people healing themselves of cancer and other diseases when they gave up the standard, mainstream foods (animal foods as well as white flour foods, processed foods, vegetable oils, refined sugar, cooked foods, etc.). The organic, vegan, raw food diet is truly the diet of life; it is our natural diet (natural concerning our anatomical structure and physiological systems, which are indisputably herbivorous). If only people knew the power of diet, how injurious the standard western diet is and how powerfully healing and life enhancing the natural raw plant-based diet is, then Big Pharma would go straight out of business, and, I dare write, how peaceful the world would become.

Meat & dairy = death.

Thank you. i will take that onboard. :)
