Dieting and Fasting with Spirulina and Chlorella

Diet plans should be avoided for the most part because the vast majority of them unnaturally trick the body into temporarily loosing weight by upsetting the balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat that we consume. In short, they tinker with the body’s metabolism and hormonal structure to the detriment of our health.

The key to all diets is drinking sufficient amounts of water each day. The Spirulina & Chlorella high-protein, high-nutrient diet promotes quick weight loss without the fear that it would harm your body because they are perfect foods with a complete complement of nutrients. Unlike any other diet, your health is not in jeopardy when you go on the Spirulina and Chlorella Diet. Continue reading

The Life and Times of a Nutritional Maverick

The times that we live in have never been more favorable to be a raw foodist. There is a sea change occurring in our fundamental thinking about health. The medical establishment and the various health care systems are draining our resources chasing cures that simply don’t exist in the world of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, radiation, surgery and other artificial treatments. Increasingly, people are realizing that running to the doctor when they get sick only to be treated for the symptoms of their disease rather than the disease itself is doing nothing for their health. Consequently, minds are beginning to open to the alternatives. Our trust in doctors and their artificiality, bred into us from birth, is waning as our innate trust of nature reemerges.

Banting’s Knights (The Undertaker’s Diet) – Atkins’ Revisited

If you remove carbohydrates from your diet and live almost exclusively on fat and protein, your body will have no other choice than to burn its fat. However, the resulting imbalances of the body are catastrophic. The low-carbohydrate diet has been labeled the uremic diet by the medical community because it causes an excess of nitrogen waste products in the urine. High protein diets produce ammonia and urea in the body, which are both toxic. These require large amounts of water intake to be flushed from the body. Unfortunately, a high protein diet acts like a diuretic that drains the body of water. The intercellular fluid is then drained from the body’s cells leading to chronic cellular dehydration, a precursor to most disease. It can also increase the risk of kidney stones and bone loss.[i] Continue reading

Measuring Body pH – Critical Measurement of Overall Health

pH is a measurement of the relative concentration of positive and negative ions. When they are present in equal quantities we have reached a state of equilibrium within the body and our pH will be 7.0. There are two ways to measure body pH, which should not be confused with blood pH. The blood always maintains pH between 7.25 – 7.45. If it falls out of that range the body will quickly go into shock and death will follow soon after. Anything that does get into the bloodstream outside of that pH is immediately pushed out into the body’s tissue. Continue reading

“I was in Perfect Physical Shape and I Still Had a Heart Attack” and Other Myths Perpetuated by the Pharmaceutical Industry – Pt 2

However, that certainly doesn’t mean they are not. Most people will shake their head at the idea of living to be 90 or 100 years old because they have only seen cooked foodists who are that age and for the most part, they are not a pretty sight. Half the people over age 85 are senile and have lost touch with reality to some degree. Most cannot walk without assistance, nor perform basic maintenance on themselves, such as bathing and caring for their own nails. Most are incontinent and need assistance when going to the bathroom. They are sacks of bones and blood, mere shadows of what they once were. When someone dies of “old age” it simply means that they had so many diseases it could not be determined which one killed them. Given these circumstances, I would not want to stay alive to that age either. Continue reading

“I was in Perfect Physical Shape and I Still Had a Heart Attack” and Other Myths Perpetuated by the Pharmaceutical Industry – Pt. 1

Of course you were in “perfect physical shape” when you had a heart attack. That’s what happens to everyone who is perfect physical shape; they have heart attack and strokes (heart attack of the brain). In fact, this scenario plays out countless times a day, perfectly healthy people and perfect physical shape drop like flies from heart attacks. I’m sure he was just walking along – healthy as a well-fed teen – and suddenly he has a heart attack. Why? Because he was old, of course. It’s inevitable that we all get sick and have heart attacks or cancer or some other disease when we’re old. That’s what being old is all about: disease. Or so we are taught to believe.
