“Time, whose tooth gnaws away at everything else,
is powerless against the truth.”

Thomas Huxley

Let’s talk briefly about the four major “challenges” associated with our modern diet.

Meats - As we mentioned earlier eating meat is extremely stressful on the body, especially meats that are not organic because they are full of steroids and antibiotics. It’s important to understand that eating is an exchange of energy. When an animal is raised in a loving manner and slaughtered with thankfulness and kindness the meat from such animals will contain the same energy. If you have not read Diet for a New America by John Robbins get a copy and read it. The modern meat industry does not have your health in mind. Buyer Beware!

Dairy - Again the modern dairy industry is not concerned with your health only with their profits. Despite millions of dollars in advertising that states otherwise, drinking homogenized and pasteurized milk is harmful to your health. The amount of calcium that your body has to produce in order to digest it is far greater than the amount actually found in it. This might explain why this country has the highest rates of calcium deficiencies (osteoporosis) in the world. If you have to drink milk use organic or raw products. There are also soy, rice or almond substitutes.

Processed Foods - This area covers a lot of ground. The huge food corporations of the world are always looking for methods which will lower their cost of production and whether or not it’s healthy for you is an afterthought. Refined sugars are now found in almost every boxed or canned food. Fruit juices and soda pop have some of the highest concentrations of pure sugar. Processed white flours are found in almost every pasta, bread, cake, cookie and snack product. These foods are generally;

• broken down by the body and stored as fat (high cholesterol, high blood pressure)
• acidic once digested (lower oxygen)
• very high on the glycemic index (diabetes, fatigue)
• extremely hard to pass through the intestines because of it’s soft, paste-like
consistency (candida, yeast, bacterial infections, parasites)

Enzyme-deficient Fats - These fats or oils have been heated or processed in a way that alters their chemical composition and renders them completely useless as to their nutritional value. In fact they cause more damage than any of the other three types of food problems we are discussing. Just look at any food and you will find some sort of “altered oil” (partially hydrogenated vegetable oils: corn oil, soybean oil, palm oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil or cottonseed oil) that is listed in the ingredients. They contribute significantly to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Look for and use raw natural oils such as organic 100% extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed).




“You can’t solve a problem on the same level that it was created.
You have to rise above it to the next level.”

Einstein

The following information is referenced from Eat Right 4 Your Type by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. His book covers in detail all of the research on blood types as well as all of the food recommendations based on that information. This is meant to be an introduction only. We also use the 80/20 rule. Follow the rules 80% of the time and give yourself 20% slack.

• Experiment with yourself. When you eat a given food notice how you feel before, during and after. Follow the food mentally through the digestive system and you will discover what works for you and what does not.
• Add one raw organic vegetable to each meal.
• Eliminate as much cooked, processed food as possible.
• Stop eating fast food, snack foods, soda pop and white flour products.
• Don’t eat anything with “altered oils” (partially hydrogenated)
• Cut back on your intake of meat, especially non-organic.
• Drink raw or organic milk products only or find non-dairy substitutes.
• Chew your food at least 30 times
• Preparation should be of natural means. Do not use microwaves or any aluminum cookware.

When eating be thankful for the food, be thankful that the energy the food contains is now given unto you for your own energy needs. Be thank full! Maintain a positive environment while eating. The process of food intake and assimilation is the reason you have energy; honor this process.
