Rawsome Life!: Check out "Food Matters"

"One quarter of what we eat keeps us alive ... three-quarters of what we eat keeps our doctors alive!"

Some of My (Possible) Upcoming Adventures

Wainwright's "Coast-to-Coast Walk" across England, a 290 mile walk across some of the most beautiful land on earth in Merrie Ole England -- one of my favorite places to be. This is a 3-part series with lovely music and soothing narration. It's a toss up whether I'll be walking this in Spring of 2009 OR biking in Ireland and then exploring my grandparents' roots in County Mayo and Longford. Note: the 1st video is mislabled "2nd" in error. Coast-to-Coast Walk - Part I * Coast-to-Coast Walk - Part II * Coast-to-Coast Walk - Part III *

In the words of psychologist Abraham Maslowe . . .

for "persons to achieve total wellness and self-actualization, we need to develop comfortably, calmly, and with a beautiful ease, all four aspects of our being (physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual) " Most "holistic healing," as regards nutrition and wellness, deals almost entirely with the specific vitamins, minerals and enzymes the "healer" determines a body needs in order to be "well". In contrast, we passionately believe that all human sickness - all illness, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or intellectual - does not stem from what we lack, but rather from that which remains trapped in the body.

We can't get rid of it all. Beef, pork, lamb, veal, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, white flour, white rice, cookies, confectionary foods, drugs, alcohol, pharmaceuticals -- as the years pass, a person's large intestine collects residue from all this stuff. The human body (having a great desire to keep it's pipes open and free of what becomes solid, gooey, poisonous, and putrefied) will periodically "melt" this toxic matter down, thereby allowing it to pass back into the bloodstream. These toxins then have free reign throughout the body, where they proceed to collect in organs and other areas, wreaking systemic havoc. The years continue to pass, the person continues to eat poorly, to live under emotional stress and in spiritual vacuity, and the body gradually becomes overwhelmed by toxicity. Inevitably, this build-up of unreleased toxins leads to disease and death.

The reason medical professionals find nutritional deficiencies is not because the individual in question consumes too little of a given substance, but rather because these substances (which may have been in our cells at birth) have been eradicated over time by all the poison we've put in. This poison is like acid eating away all the microminerals and vitamins the human being was born with. This is why malnutrition often takes time to show up.

The key to health lies not in learning about folic acid, riboflavin, glutothiamine, the role of B6, or whatever mixes best with Vitamin E. These details do not address the problem, but rather treat only one of the many specific symptoms. It's not about what we put in - health is about how completely and efficiently we move it all out.
