What Kind of SALT You Consume Will Determine Your Health Profile

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

Salt, being an electrical conductor, actually energizes the body.  True sea salt, or Celtic salt, contains 92 essential minerals.  Salt works most efficiently in the body in the presence of magnesium, potassium and calcium, which are found in natural, unprocessed salt.  Refined table salt retains only two of them and is but a shadow of natural salt’s magnificent health properties.

The molecular structure of table salt has been dramatically altered by the high temperature (400 – 500°F) at which it is processed.  Several methods are used to refine salt.  Minerals are removed from iodized salt (table salt) using chemicals such as chorine, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids.  Refined salt also has several anti-caking agents, such as phosphate, yellow prussiate of soda, ferrocyanide. and tri-calcium.  It is even processed with aluminum in some cases.  Any salt that flows freely has been exposed to anti-caking agents to prevent it from absorbing moisture, adversely affecting its absorption into the body.  Heated and washed, salt is white and therefore, like processed sugar, more easily marketed.  Commercially processed table salt is a poison and should be avoided.

I personally use Celtic Sea Salt.  I love the flavor and it’s all natural – raked right out of the sea.

So What Does Bob McCauley Eat For Dinner? (Part Two)

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

Part Two

The next step is to chop everything up very finely except for the mushrooms and the avocado, which I leave in chunks on top of the salad.  It is important to note that once the salad has been chopped up it should be eaten soon since finely chopping vegetables exposes them to oxidation.  With oxidation comes diminishing numbers of the “all important” enzymes in a general degradation of the organic chemical structure of the foods.  Once I have chopped the greens, sprouts and vegetables I have it on the table and ready to eat within 3 to 5 minutes.

I place the salad on top of a 3500 gauss magnet in order to be sure that all the ions in the food are spinning in the negative, or left, direction.  This not only allows for better nutrient absorption into the body because ions in the food are negatively charged, it also charges the food with energy.  It is important to remember that we are Bio-electric as well as Bio-magnetic, therefore we respond to electromagnetic forces such as powerful magnets with a gauss level of at least 1000.

Not everyone agrees that humans should live on a diet composed exclusively of raw fruits and vegetables and medical doctors such as Dr. Andrew Weil are the worst culprits.  However, this certainly is not the case.  An excellent demonstration of why we should eat raw foods rather than cooked foods is to view a Kirlian photograph of one.  This is a type of photography that is able to capture the energy a plant, animal or inorganic object is generating.  A raw food such as this tomato (Left) is seen to be giving off tremendous amount of energy that is unseen to the naked eye.  However, a cooked tomato (Right) gives off much less energy because its enzymes, and therefore its life force, have been destroyed.  In addition, its organic chemical structure has also been scrambled in a manner so it no longer resembles how nature originally created it.

So What Does Bob McCauley Eat For Dinner?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

Part One

Every night I eat the same thing and I have been doing so for over 12 years now, since 1999.  What I eat every night is a salad.  It never changes, a raw organic salad each and every night for dinner.  I would suggest to you that most people could not do it, eat the same thing every night, but actually it only sounds like I am eating the same thing every night.  The truth is that, although I eat a salad every single night for dinner, the salad itself is never the same.  If I ate the exact same salad every single night I would have gotten bored with it many years ago and probably could not have continued doing it.

In the beginning, I was eating around 70 to 80% raw fruits and vegetables; the remaining 20 – 30% was rice, which fills you up and provides you with calories, but in the end is not healthy.  A lot of Asians have trouble accepting this because rice is a staple of the Orient, as are noodles, which is a staple in China.  But like everything else I write when it comes to health I only state what I know to be the truth.

What varies in my salads are the greens that form its base and the vegetables that are included in it that happen to be in season at that time.  I consume dozens of different types of greens throughout the year, most of which come from either my garden and those that are found growing naturally in my yard.

The staples of my diet, the foods included in my salad each and every night without fail, are garlic, hot pepper, avocado, lime or lemon, seeds and nuts of various kinds.  In the winter in Michigan harvesting greens from my yard is next to impossible until late march or early April when the dandelions, oregano and kale come back.  So the winter months is when I do a lot of sprouting.  I usually sprout anywhere from 20 to 30 different types of seeds during those months.  My favorite sprouts are radish, fenugreek, lentils, red clover, alfalfa, kale and mung beans.  Sprouts are amongst the most powerful foods that we can possibly consume, which is ironic since they are commonly viewed as a food for wimps.

Sprouts are some of the healthiest foods because they are still growing when we consume them.  Other than algae, sprouts are our most powerful food source.  It is ironic that sprouts have a wimpy connotation to them because they are amongst the strongest foods known.  When a seed sprouts, it produces in great quantities some of the most powerful anti-disease chemical agents that are then spread throughout the plant as it grows to maturity.  A good example of this is the broccoli sprout, which produces sulforaphane, a powerful cancer-fighting, chemoprotective agent, at a concentration of 30 – 50 times of that found in the entire plant at maturity.  All sprouts have this high concentration of enzymes and other organic chemical substances in them in the first days of sprouting.

This photo was taken with everything gathered together for my salad.  I put the food on my cutting board and from there all I need is my big chopping knife.

Time involved: Gathering Foods: 3 minutes; Chopping: 2 minutes; Plating: 3 minutes; Clean up: 5 minutes.  Total: 13-15 minutes.  Time does not include enjoying a  delicious meal filled with the nutrients that come from raw foods, which God has made available in order that we can possess true health – the kind of health that simply can’t be found elsewhere.

When Can Children Begin Eating Chlorella and Spirulina?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

One of the questions I am often asked is whether spirulina and/or chlorella can be given to a child, as though a child isn’t a human being until they become an adult.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Once weaned, babies can be treated exactly like an adult in regard to nutrition.  You can refer to my 7 Component Health Protocol for what actually belongs in the body and what does not.  A weaned baby can be given exactly like an adult only scaled down to their tiny size.

An expectant mother on a Raw-food Diet will give birth to a healthier baby than a mother whose diet consists mainly of cooked foods.  The fetus of an expectant mother who is a raw foodist receives nutrients that can only be derived from nature.  A fetus will only be as healthy as the nutrients that the host mother is providing to it.  Expectant mothers should move slowly to the Raw-food Diet.  She should not put herself through a major detoxification while pregnant because it would be too much strain on her and her fetus.

Babies can begin consuming raw juices once they are weaned.  They will drink any fresh juice you give them, especially if it contains a little sweet fruit.  You can also put a gram of Spirulina and Chlorella powder into the juice as well.  A weaned infant can be treated the same as an adult in regard to their diet as long as it is comprised of raw foods.

A 1 year old baby can consume 3 – 4 grams per day, more if you want to raise them as a vegan.  As you can see, Chlorella Baby Hazel, took my advice and has dove into chlorella, literally and figuratively.  She is our official “Chlorella Pin Up Baby of 2012″!

The Truth About the Chlorella Market

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Bob McCauley

by Bob McCauley, ND

Chlorella is being consumed by more people all the time.  It has become recognized for what it is, the world’s most nutritious food.  Recently, the source of the chlorella, where it is grown, has become a more important issue.  I have been to several chlorella and spirulina production plants throughout China and Taiwan.  While it is possible to find good quality Chlorella in China it is considerably more difficult than it is to find good quality Chlorella that is grown in Taiwan.  With its pervasive pollution and high amounts of heavy metals throughout the country finding both Spirulina and Chlorella in China that is not contaminated can be difficult, but you need to know your source well, having visited the company’s plant and inspected their cleanliness and procedures firsthand.  If you have been in the algae business, selling spirulina and chlorella for more than 5 years, you need to  have visited the production plant of what you are selling.  If you don’t, you will have no idea what you are selling and whether it is any good or not.  I have personally visited 6 spirulina and chlorella factories, 2 in China, 4 in Taiwan.  I consume the chlorella from Taiwan, and not from China because after seeing the conditions of each plant I knew what I would be willing to consume myself.

As of 2012, the only Chlorella produced in Korea is fermented inside the tank and it never sees the light of day, which is a product I would not consume.  At that time of this writing, 2012, Chlorella is not grown in the United States nor has it ever been to my knowledge.  However, the US has many ideal locations to grow chlorella such as Texas, which is not too hot, yet has nice whether year around.

Japanese companies have been growing Chlorella perhaps longer than any other country.  Knowledge about how to grow Chlorella is taught in the universities in Japan and it is where many of the people who grow in Taiwan learn to produce consumable Chlorella.  Many of the chlorella seed cultures that are used by various manufacturers come from Japan.  Although it may seem quite easy to grow algae that has consistent quality from batch to batch, and year to year.  But in fact, it is extremely difficult to do.  Growing algae is a complicated science

There are several companies that grow Chlorella in Taiwan as of 2012.  Chlorella grown in Taiwan is by far the world’s best quality.  Taiwan is a pristine country, mostly free of pollution in the countryside were Chlorella is cultivated.  Taiwan Chlorella producers offer the highest quality Chlorella available on the market, both certified and non-certified organic.  To open the Chlorella cell, producers use both pressure-release and Dyno®-Mill methods. We currently sell chlorella that has been opened with pressure-release, and we will be selling chlorella opened using the Dyno®-Mill method starting in June.  This unique process of small glass beads that crack the cell wall of the chlorella as it tumbles inside a drum crushes the chlorella cell for better absorption by the body

Currently the Watershed WellnessCenter sells Taiwan Chlorella only, including Certified Organic and non-certified organic chlorella and spirulina.  We are the only company to sell chlorella and spirulina combined with herbal extracts in tablet form.

SUCCESS STORY

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Bob McCauley

I am a writer.  I have been writing most of my life.  It’s what I am.  When I learned about health I did what came naturally to me, I wrote about it.  Writing is in my blood.  I couldn’t stop if I wanted to.  It’s what I do.  It is the foundation of my reputation.  Either I am a good writer, and therefore a good communicator, or I am a failure.  When you write something that speaks to people in visceral manner you reach them in ways that can change their thinking, perhaps even their lives, then you’ve done your job as a writer. 

If you’re not literary minded, you’re probably not going to either like or understand the story.   However, you may still you appreciate some of the writing.  Here’s a short piece of fiction I included in my book, Twelve, which was published in 2008.    - Bob McCauley

SUCCESS STORY

By Bob McCauley

Part One: The Elevator

Elevators are traps of the modern world, benign-looking snares waiting for the unwary to step aboard and be lifted to some unreachable location between floors where they dangle at the whim of rusted cables, gears and pulleys.

Several people became victims of the prank one morning, stranding them for nearly half an hour.  The penal time was spent in absolute silence, as though such an edict had been issued by the metal tyrant.  The four walls of the tiny car stared at them as one man read the morning paper, another stared at his watch and the two women examined their nails, folded their arms and sighed impatiently.

When it finally decided to free its hostages, they were returned to the lobby where they were found.  Its doors snapped at legs and arms in a final act of hostility against their race, trying to close the doors on one woman and take her on another mechanical ride of terror.  Then the doors reopened like two welcoming arms as though to insist its fit was an anomaly and that all who stepped aboard would be safer than if they hadn’t.  One of its victims warned the others of its cunning.

A crowd soon accumulated when another elevator did not arrive.  Men in blue and ash-colored suits stood quietly in circles while others read in solitude the morning papers.  The correctness of their postures was as meticulous as their clothing.

A group of older men stood apart from the rest.  They were partners at the law firm where all these men and women worked.  Relaxed and amiable laughter purled from their circle, the kind of joking conducted between colleagues who belong to a closed society.  Smiles broke warmly as they gripped shoulders in a rite which insisted that here was a brotherhood above any other.

One of the senior associates who’d gotten stuck on the elevator earlier stood near the partners trying to eavesdrop.  He stared at them like a dog under the table hoping for scrapes.  He longed to stand amongst them, while still younger associates looked on and wished to be him.

He spotted another associate coming toward him, which made him bend his head and appear lost in meditation of briefs and legalese.

Yi Shan – Company History, Accomplishments of the World’s Best Water Ionizer Manufacturer

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

There has been a lot of talk lately about Taiwanese Water Ionizers being inferior to those from Japan and Korea.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I sold Jupiter Water Ionizer for 8 years until they became too expensive and their technology did not improve.  I looked to Taiwan for a manufacturer who was invovative and for someone who truly understood the principles of ionization.  I found Wen-Hsin Hsu, president and founder of Yi Shan Electric Industry Co, Ltd., who was born in 1955, so he’s only a couple years older than I am.  We immediately became friends and I gave him his English name, Raymond.

He grew up in a middle-class family in Nan- Tou County, Taiwan, renowned for its peaceful beauty.  Chiang Kai-shek, Taiwan’s great general founder, ruled Taiwan during relatively peaceful times before his son, Chiang Ching-kuo, tookTaiwan into the modern age during the 1980’s.

Wen-Hsin’s father was a mechanical engineer, which influenced his interest in science and engineering.  In 1979, Wen-Hsin graduated in Electrical Engineering with top honors from Taiwan University (Taipei), regarded as the finest technical university in Taiwan with a renown international reputation. Wen-Hsin started his career modestly, taking a job as an electronic repair technician.  While he had much greater aspirations, his apprenticeship as a technician sparked a lifelong passion for electronics.

 

 

 

Long hours and little sleep began to take its toll and cost Wen-Hsin his health.  He was constantly tired and in poor health.  However, he was determined to make himself healthy.  He studied Traditional Chinese Medicine with the goal of becoming a doctor, but failed the final examination by only two points.  It was a tremendous disappointment to Wen-Hsin although it was a remarkable educational opportunity for him.  Undeterred by this setback, he pushed forward with complete resolution to become healthy and spread his knowledge about health to others.

As the door to his medical career closed, another immediately opened, one that would change his life and set his destiny in stone. Wen-Hsin read an obscure scientific article translated from Japanese about something called ionized water.  The year was 1987.  The world had barely heard about ionized water, which the Russians had been quietly researching for the last 80 years. Wen-Hsin bought two water ionizers from the world’s only manufacturer at the time so he could determine how they worked.  He found the technology of the time was sufficient to produce ionized water although he knew it could be improved on.
He immediately began to design a new electrolysis chamber which included a magnetic coil, which turned out to be the first truly revolutionary innovation in the water ionizer industry.  In 1988, Wen-Hsin patented the first Magnetizing Electrolysis Device that would soon become the industry standard throughout the 1990’s.In 1990, he started Yi Shan Electric Industry Co., Ltd. inTaipei.  It wasTaiwan’s first water ionizer manufacturer.  Over the next six years, the small company started by a man with little more than a dream and determination to succeed became one of the world’s most well known and innovative water ionizer manufacturers in the world.

In 1997, Wen-Hsin received the Nuremberg Invention Award for his pioneering work in the water ionizer industry.  This prestigious award is the most coveted amongst inventors worldwide and has only been granted to one company in the field of ionization, Yi Shan.

Wen-Hsin’s fame and reputation grew exponentially in the coming years.  He drew the attention of some ofTaiwan’s powerful and influential men and woman, including Jau-Shiuan Liou,Taiwan’s Premiere. He has been invited to speaking at ionization conferences around the world, including China, Taiwan, Malaysia, India, Germany, France, Russia and The United States.

In 2007, Professor Feng-Jou Liu Chairman of theInstituteofBiochemical Sciences,TaiwanUniversity, endorsed Yi Shan water ionizer models.  He praised both their design and functionality.  Yi Shan has received patents in the United States, Germany, Japan and China. Professor Liu is regarded as Taiwan’s foremost expert on ionization and its related technologies.  He is one of the true pioneers of water ionization.

Today, Yi Shan continues to create new innovations in ionization technology and is regarded as an undisputed industry leader with numerous patents in four countries.

Ozonated Water vs. Ionized Water

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Bob McCauley

By Bob McCauley, ND

Ozone is used for the disinfection of water, which is its only purchase.  It kills all bacteria and viruses found in water, although viruses are rarely found in water.  Ozone does not improve the quality of the water it does not make it healthier, but only removes harmful bacteria.

Ionizing water transforms it into a powerful antioxidant that also alkalizes the body and hydrates it better than any other water.  Water ionizers have a one-micron pre-filter that is capable of removing most bacteria and viruses.  The ionization process also kills bacteria and viruses when the water runs over the electrodes, which essentially electrocutes them.  Ozonating the water does not provide any of these health benefits.  Ionized water contains an abundance of electrons that are free radical scavengers.  It also has a negative charge, ORP, that reduces the oxidation of the body, one of the most important things we can do for our health.  Ozonated water is not an antioxidant and does not reduce the oxidation of the body.

Chlorella with Shilajit: The Fulvic Acid Key to Heavy Metal Detox

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Bob McCauley

by Bob McCauley, ND

Shilajit is a resin that is released through small cracks in the Himalayan Mountains due to heating effects of the summer sun. It is pale brown to blackish brown in color. This water soluble resin is soft in texture, slimy to touch, pure and heavy. Shilajit is harvested from the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.

Shilajit is plant matter that decomposed centuries ago and became preserved as a result of the pressure of the mountains.  Plants are the source of our food and humus is the source of plant food. Unlike other soil humus, Shilajit humus consists of 60 – 80% organic mass. Fulvic Acid is the active ingredient in Shilajit.

 

The advantage of combining a concentrated herb such as Shilajit with a complete food such as Chlorella is that the protein allows the body to absorb and utilize the herb much more safely and effectively.

Fulvic Acid:   Helps the body release toxic metals and keep excess iron from accumulating in the tissue. Fulvic Acid bonds  with positively charged metal ions in the body which are then excreted through the urine and feces.  Fulvic Acid is a diuretic that increases the body’s ability to rid itself of excess heavy metals through the urine.

•  Fulvic Acid helps accelerate processes of protein and nucleic acid metabolism and stimulates energy providing reactions.

•  Fulvic Acid increases the core energy responsible for your sexual and spiritual power.

•  Fulvic Acid counteracts Diabetes and regulates the blood sugar levels.

•  Fulvic Acid purifies blood, improves function of pancreas and strengthens digestion.

•  Fulvic Acid promotes the movement of minerals, especially calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium into muscle tissue and bone.

•  Fulvic Acid stimulates the immune system and improves recovery time after exercise.

•  Fulvic Acid counteracts debility and general fatigue.

In Sanskrit the literal meaning of Shilajit is Rock Like – the power to make our body like a rock enabling it to withstand the ravages of time.

Shilajit has the unmatched powers of arresting and reversing the aging process.
