Pasta: The New Superfood

By Dr. Bob McCauley

When you hear about a “study” that claims a food that you generally feel is not healthiest food on the market, such as beef or eggs, or perhaps bread, then you should be suspicious.  The studies that seem to fly in the face of everything you know were likely funded by the industry that produces them.

At least 10 peer-reviewed studies about pasta published since 2008 were either fundeddirectly by Barilla or, like the one published this month, were carried out by scientists who havePasta had financial ties to the company, which reported sales of 3.4 billion euros ($4.2 billion) in 2016. For two years, Barilla has publicized some of these studies, plus others favorable to its product, on its website with taglines like “Eat Smart Be Smart…With Pasta” and “More Evidence Pasta Is Good For You.” And the company hired the large public relations firm Edelman to push the latest study’s findings to journalists.  – Buzz Feed

Incredible.  I always liked pasta, but a superfood?  Not really.

Shark Tank Rebuttal

By Dr. Bob McCauley

A woman went on Shark Tank to pitch chlorella and spirulina.   I really wish she had offered her pitch a little differently because she might had actually been successful at convincing the sharks that wasn’t “just a marketing company”.  In fact, she was trying to introduce them to the world’s two most powerful wholefoods on the planet.  She made a few mistakes and I wanted to point them out.  Maybe they’ll give her a opportunity to try again!

Is it healthy to go vegan as a teenager?

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Quora Question:

Is it healthy to go vegan as a teenager?

My Response:

If you add chlorella and/or spirulina to your diet and take 8 – 10 grams per day you will get all the protein you need and you will be successful and healthy. Just be sure you don’t eat junk food. I have seen so many people become vegetarian and all they do is stop eating meat. They still eat chips, junk food, fast food, etc and they they don’t get healthier because health is about eating the right foods and not eating garbage foods. Make sure to include salads and fresh fruit in your diet along with chlorella and spirulina. You’ll be fine.

What Supplements Should I Take As A Vegan?

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Quora Question:

What supplements should I take as a vegan?

My Response:

The best supplements to add to a vegan diet are chlorella and spirulina, which have 60% protein. Lack of protein is why a lot of people don’t make it as vegans. There are a lot of herbal supplements I would recommend, but chlorella and spirulina should be your staple. I would also recommend a probiotic for great digestion.

What would a vegan world look like?

My Response:

Lots of animals, people eating fruit and vegetables. Not as much disease, and not as many fat people as before. That’s pretty much what you’d see.

I Am Not A Physician

By Dr. Bob McCauley

I sometimes put on a lab coat and a stethoscope when I do my videos, but it’s all in jest. I wear them as props and to poke fun at doctors who wear them in their videos as a way to give themselves authority. They are medical doctors so “they know and you don’t.” They are often arrogant and dismissive to their patients.

I don’t call myself a physician as apparently many Naturopathic Doctors I have learned. There is something called a Naturopathic Physician in states such as California, but not in Colorado. I like being called a doctor, but I don’t want to be confused with someone thinking I’m a medical doctor or any part of the medical establishment. I don’t now anything about medicine or pharmaceuticals – nothing. I know about nature and how to be healthy naturally.

I went to The Trinity School of Natural Health, which is accredited  by the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board, in Las Vegas, NV.  The American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board is the division that offers the board certification test.

My only wish is that medical doctors would stop pretending they know something about diet and nutrition since they have absolutely NO training it whatsoever. I will not talk about what I don’t know anything about, and medical doctors can do the same.

Is It Okay To Take Testosterone Supplements?

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Quora Question:

Is it okay to take testosterone supplements?

My Response:

This is certainly depend on which testosterone supplement you were taking.  Maintaining proper testosterone levels in the body is one of the Tongkat_Ali_(Eurycoma_longifolia)keys to longevity.   I take one often called Tongkat Ali, or Long Jack, which is a tree root from Malaysia. The active ingredient is Eurycome. Tongkat Ali is extremely effective at increasing testosterone in the body.

Does Spirulina Expire?

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Quora Question:

Does Spirulina Expire?

My Response:

Yes. If it’s well sealed, vacuum packed, then it will last about 3 years. After that, the chlorophyll breaks down the and the spirulina “turns blue”.  Actually, the green chlorophyll has disappeared.  What you see then is the phycocyanin – a blue antioxidant that is unique to spirulina. It is still okay to consume, it’s just not as nutritious as it once was.

Why Don’t People Turn Vegan When They Find Out They Don’t Need Meat To Survive?

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Quora Question:

Why don’t people turn vegan when they find out they don’t need meat to survive?

My response:

That’s the best question of them all. They continue to eat meat because they like the taste and they are under the mistaken impression that it’s good for them. They eat meat – even when they learn it is bad for their health – out of habit. They can’t imagine a meal without a piece of meat sitting in the center of the plate. What you put into your body is 100% physiological – all in your mind.

I don’t eat curried foods because I didn’t grow up in India. I grew up on a standard meat and potato American diet. How I became healthy was by training myself to eat in a different way. Healthy really comes down to lifestyle changes and learning what foods are actually healthy (raw fruits & vegetables) and then having the resolve to only eat those foods.

Humic/Fulvic Acid: Forgotten Keys To Great Health

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Humus and Human have the same meaning: From and Of the Earth.  Humus is the primary root of our food supply.  Humic and Fulvic Acids are the substrates of the soil from which we get our food.  Our soil is mineral depleted, which means our foods are mineral depleted, which means WE are mineral depleted.

Minerals are the keys that start the engine of our health.  Every metabolic process in the body depends on a mineral to function.  – Dr. Bob McCauley 

Humic acids are a group of compounds created by the degradation of organic matter and are a portion of natures biological processes. Over time the deposited material has decomposed and reduced into humic, fulvic, and ulmic fractions.  Humic and Fulvic acids are excellent for human health.

  • Humic Acid is a Powerful Detoxifier. 
  • Humic Acid oxygenates the blood. It also assists with mineral transfer/ Humic Acid also acts as a dilator, increasing the permeability of cell walls.
  • Humic Acid balances our cells electricity.
  • Humic Acid is antimicrobial. It also benefits the body by allowing it to recognize its own dead cells, thereby reducing infection and warding off a host of diseases.
  • Humic Acid is an Immune Builder – Contains an abundance of complex sugars, allowing the body to manufacture glycoproteins that attach to killer and T cells
  • Humic Acid has Anti-Inflammatory Properties.

Take just before bed for a good night’s sleep.

  • 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.
  •  Increases  energy
  •  Regulates blood sugar levels.
  •  Purifies blood, stimulates & heals the pancreas
  • Aids with digestion.
  • Promotes the movement of minerals, especially calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium into muscle tissue and bone.
  • Stimulates the immune system and improves recovery time after exercise.
  • Acts as a carrier which helps assimilate nutrients better.
