Quora Question:

Can you die from consuming too much water?

My response:

You most certain can die from consuming too much water too quickly. In fact, it’s quite dangerous to even more than 2 liters (quarts) per hour. This is why I recommend that you NEVER drink more than one liter of water per hour.

We need to consume 1 — 2 gallons of water each day. Proper hydration is the cornerstone to health. Most important thing we can do for our health is stay hydrated. Never drink more than one liter per hour. No more than two gallons per day.Fasting is the healthiest thing we can do for our health. It gives the body a chance to Cleanse, Rest and repair itself. People complain about drinking so much water. I would rather go to the bathroom 1000 times than to go the doctor’s once.

Quora Question:

Why should an individual adhere to veganism/vegetarianism when their abstinence isn’t likely to make a difference?

My Response:

A difference in what exactly? I have been a vegetarian 37 years, and I didn’t become one so I could “make a difference”. I became a vegetarian because I don’t want to kill unless I have to. I became a vegan – no meat, fish, eggs or dairy – for health reasons. It’s much healthier to consume a plant-based diet. The video demonstrates exactly why we should not eat COOKED animal protein. Organic raw animal protein would not be a problem.

I don’t care about making a difference in the world. I care about taking care of myself and my health. A vegan does just that.

Quora Question:  Why are vegans so preachy?

My Response:

I’m a vegan and I’m not “preachy”. First, you can’t agitate and persuade people at the same time. I’m a Catholic and I’ve seen Christians on the street who want to “convert” me to the “true faith” because I haven’t checked all the right boxes on their “salvation clipboard”. As a Christian, I like what they are doing and agree with them. But they are agitating me so much I want to disagree with them even though I agree with them. Why? They are getting me upset by trying to tell me how to worship, how to think, etc. What’s next, how to hold my fork when I eat.

If you are trying to get someone to starting eat healthy, the last thing you want to tell them is that they are bad people for eating animals. Essentially you are attempting to shame them into doing something they may or may not want to hear. In the end, either you will explain why you should not kill and eat animals and they will listen and follow you or they won’t. Shaming them, or preaching to them, is not going to have much of an impact.

Me personally, I never preach.  I could care less if someone want to eat dead animal carcass.

Matt wrote in with a question: 

I would like a recommendation(s) or book recommendation on how to set up pre-filtration before the water ionizer. My home is a average sized ranch home and I would like to use my kitchen sink for the ionizer.

My response: 

You can install a water filter housing under the counter – it requires a plumber:

You can install a water filter housing on the counter top – no plumber required:
https://shop.watershed.net/index.php/water-ionizer-filters/shower-filter/above-counter-housing.html

I would recommend this filter as our best overall filter option, carbon, KDF, Particulate (sediment) all-in-one filter:
https://shop.watershed.net/index.php/water-ionizer-filters/shower-filter/pp-gac-triple-function-nano-zinc-filter-10.html

PP/GAC Triple Function Nano-Zinc Filter(Included)
The macromolecular technique of nano-zinc is a patented filter only available through Taiwan Filter Corporation, the inventor and manufacturer of the filter.
Function

Quora Question:

What can Spirulina (pond scum) do for your health?

My Response:

Nutridiot –Short Form of “Nutritional Idiot”
Noun – A person who is foolish or stupid regarding the subject of nutrition.A person who offers poor nutritional advice. A person(s) who mistakes junk for nutritional foods.

Note: First introduced in 2013 by Dr. Bob McCauley as a response to those who refused to recognize that certain algae are amongst the healthiest foods we can consume.

The world is full of Nutridiots, the nutritionally challenged who run around misinforming us as to what foods are healthy and what foods are not. Dr. Robert O. Young, M.S., Shave and Grooming Made Simple., Ph.D. is right on some things, but a Nutridiot when it comes to the subject of algae.

He calls algae pond scum, along with nearly every follower of Ann Wigmore including the folks at the Creative Health Institute and Hippocrates in Florida.

I happen to think that chlorella and spirulina are what most vegetarians and vegans should be using for their protein since they are 60% protein, and have the broadest array of nutrients of any whole foods.

Spirulina is an extremely pure food, 95% digestible, extremely high in the Vitamin B-complex, iron, calcium and essential fatty acids such as Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is excellent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or bursitis. Spirulina is an excellent food to consume before a workout because of the explosive energy it provides to the body.

In conclusion, in short, spirulina is one of the two most powerful foods on earth and it should NOT be referred to as POND SCUM. That is, unless you want to be known as a Nutridiot. 🙂

Inquiry:

Dr. McCauley, I have a question! Let’s say I buy your ionizing machine, and fill up my plastic 5-gallon water jugs with it and put it on my water cooler. Does the “effectiveness” of the water diminish the longer my family takes to drink the entire jug? I’ve read on a few websites that it’s useless to drink company-bottled alkaline ionized water because the combination of sitting on the shelf+the plastic used slowly lowers the pH over time.

My Response: 

Good question. The fresher Alkaline Ionized Water – AIW – is the healthier it is. The antioxidant qualities will be gone within 18 – 24 hours, the high pH will last several months, and the smaller water molecule clusters will last a year or longer. I try to drink as much as I can straight out of the tap. The fresher, the better, but even if you fill jugs with it and it takes a few days to drink it is still vastly superior to any other drinking water. PERIOD!

“Turmeric cures cancer,”  As said by Dieneke Ferguson, who claims that the medical industry and their bag of tricks were doing anything to end her battle with the emperor of maladies, i.e. cancer.  So she started taking turmeric and it cured her cancer – so she claims.  The truth is that the body is capable of curing itself of any disease.  The “active ingredient” in turmeric that makes it one of the most healing foods on the planet is curcumin, a yellow pigment.  It exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects, and these anti-inflammatory effects may be protective against some form of abnormal cell growth progression based on very preliminary research. Turmeric is more effective when it is take with black pepper (piperine), a molecule that does not do much on its own but can inhibit enzymes that would attack other molecules. Due to this, it is ingested alongside some supplements to increase their absorption rates and is almost always consumed with curcumin. We offer Chlorella/Turmeric tablets.

A woman who battled blood cancer for years without success finally halted the disease with turmeric, it has been reported.  Dieneke Ferguson is now leading a normal life after giving up on grueling treatments that failed to stop it. Doctors say her case is the first recorded instance in which a patient has recovered by using the spice after stopping conventional medical treatments.

With her myeloma spreading rapidly after three rounds of chemotherapy and four stem cell transplants, the 67-year-old began taking 8g of curcumin a day – one of the main compounds in turmeric.  Daily Mail

Quora Question:

Is it safe to say that a vegan diet in itself is unhealthy due to no vitamin B12 being present?

My Answer:

I have been a vegetarian for 37 years, and a vegan for 18 years. I recently had my blood work done, including my B vitamins. My B12 was quite high and my B6 was through the roof. How could that possibly be? How I Got Perfect Blood Work – Dr. Bob McCauley’s Blog. I made a video that explains exactly what the levels were and how I did it at age 60. I eat 200 – 300 different foods every year, but where I get my B vitamins, including B-12, is from Spirulina and Chlorella. You will hear that the B-12 in spirulina is not in the correct form, the analog form, so it cannot be used by the body. This is nonsense in my opinion. I get tons B vitamins from both chlorella and spirulina because I use them for my main protein source. I am full of energy and have been tested for them. Look at my blog and video, you will see them how high their levels are.

The ultimate source of all vitamin B-12 is derived at the microbial production level. Although plants and animals cannot synthesize or store vitamin B-12, it is effectively passed through the food chain, accumulated and recycled by animals.

If low levels of B12 remain for a long time, the condition also can lead to irreversible damage to nerve cells, which can cause the following symptoms:

• Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet.
• Irritability.
• Difficulty walking or moving.
• Muscle weakness.
• Memory loss.
• negative mood changes.
• emotional dissociation.

Test for Vitamin B-12: Stand at attention, close your eyes, put your right foot out and you should be able to hold you balance. If you can’t balance yourself then you may have a Vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Quora question: 

What is Spirulina?

My answer:

Spirulina is NOT an algae. Spirulina is a cyanobacteria (blue bacteria). It is unlike any other food on the planet. It is one of the two most powerful foods known. Every plant on earth evolved from chlorella, a green algae. Although spirulina and chlorella have similar nutritional profiles they are completely different foods.

Like Chlorella, it is 60% protein and has the broadest array of nutrients of any food. These are the only two foods known that you could live on exclusively and get all the nutrients you require. I personally take chlorella and/or spirulina with every meal since the protein will help you body digest it’s food. It’s the healthiest food you can consume.

There are 2 things that I say that get the biggest reaction you can imagine.  People will just not accept what I am telling them.

1. There is almost zero evidence of chronic disease found in nature.  Chronic disease is exclusive to humans other than the animals we domesticate.  Then they end up with all the same diseases we have.
2. I will not die of a disease.  I will most certainly die of murder, assassination, or in an accident.  God brought me into the world, He will take me when it’s time.  But not of a disease because I drink Alkaline Ionized Water, take chlorella and spirulina, eat only raw fruits and vegetables, take probiotics and prebiotics (fermented foods), take liquid angstrom minerals, exercise vigorously daily, maintain a positive mental attitude.  The body is capable of curing itself of any disease, and is most certainly capable of preventing any disease, even if you have a slight genetic propensity toward that.
