Talking about healthy eating opens a whole can of worms. I've tried to make room for them by having a page (Obstacles) where I can share the concerns of readers who can't eat some of the foods in this diet. I was well into developing a webinar for a "preparedness" (transition, or collapse survival) course, but when I was asked to go into detail on the subject of nutrition I backed out, but quick. I'm no nutritionist. But if I'm presenting this system of eating right, then I should at least explain why I believe it's good for us. At the root of my understanding/belief is bowel health. Everything else follows from that. I read a book meant for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome awhile back. It taught me what I know. The single-celled lining of the bowel filters our digesting food so the stuff we need gets through the membrane and the waste doesn't. |
The lining is supposed to be shed daily like a snake's skin. But if
it's bunged up with the clay-like muck of things like hot dogs and
chocolate bars and donuts, the lining doesn't let go and it gets
breached, allowing bad bits into our blood. Different people have
different responses to this. John Pagano, in Healing Psoriasis, says
this 'leaky gut' allows toxins through, overloading the liver and
asking the skin to do do its extra work. Same with Rheumatoid
Arthritis, only the bad bits cause trouble in the sinovial fluid of the
joints. And so on with many auto-immune disorders. At least this is
what I go on, you have to do your own homework, which is easy on the
internet. Here's one youngish man who saved his life by doing his
homework. (Al Shaub)
When my kids were young and had unexplained health issues I took them to a pediatric allergist who told me to get Dr. Crook's book, Tracking Down Hidden Food Allergies and then he said, "You'll have to be your own doctor." How many doctors say those words? My story about food sensitivities is here.
I have a friend and a couple of acquaintances who are diabetic. I tend to think they would benefit from doing this diet, but the lives of diabetics aren't so simple.
When it comes to weight loss (my story), I know it's hard to consume too many calories when you're eating this food. All this vegetable fiber is just too filling! And the really awful stuff is just too expensive.
Then there's cholesterol. People are always trying to trick their bodies into behaving as if they were eating well, by taking a spoonful of something 'fiber' on top of heart attack food. Here's our story on cholesterol.
