Power FROM the People?

• Posted by Janet Demeter on November 4, 2009

“Power (knowledge) from the People:  the Food,  Diet, and Medical Industries Suppression of Information”

I am certainly not the first, but I’m terribly angered at finding vital, truthful, and straightforward—A+B=C-type information, available in the 1960’s--banned, finally and completely, in the 1980’s because it encouraged people to think for themselves and consider what they could do, within their own power of choice, to eat healthfully and avoid disease.  The specific information in question comes from a biologist and physician who was a member of, no. 1, The National Association for the Advancement of Science; 2, The American Association of Cereal Chemists; 3, The Institute of Food Technologists; 4, A.H.A. Council of Arteriosclerosis; 5, American Oil Chemists Society; 6, P.M.P. Chamber of Commerce; 7, American Aging Association;  8, American Heart Association.  He was President of a major medical library and laboratory.  This man, a doctor, as above stated, dedicates his book, “Stale Food vs. Fresh Food” to “..a better life for all.”  In the dedication he encourages people to bring this information to their family doctor.   Dr. Robert Ford clearly, on p. 62 of his book, states that the food industry is obviously not the sole cause of arteriosclerosis:

     The atherosclerotic condition of the people cannot wholly be laid at the feet of the food processing industries because the same disease from flour, bacon, ham, sausage, and so on existed to some extent long before development of the modern food industry…It is not desirable to point a finger at anyone, but only that all concerned should work constructively to improve the condition of our people.  Knowing the cleverness of industrial scientists, I would not be surprised to see arteriosclerosis begin to gradually fade away after they have had a decade or so to improve processed foods based on this new knowledge.

 Well, that last wish never happened did it?  That was written in 1968.  “This new knowledge” he was referring to is, that arteriosclerosis and related diseases such as arthritis are greatly caused by the “fatty rubbish”, or rancid waste materials in processed foods that the body is unable to break down.  Obviously the food industry had no immediate monetary advantage in such work as improving processed foods in that way.  And “Fresh Foods” have never had a monetary giant for an advocate. (Wait a minute, how about 300,000,000 people standing together?--oops, I was forgetting for a moment that that would never happen, or if it did it would somehow make me a socialist)  This book was banned through the US. Postal Service and then entirely from publication in 1982.  In the hearing where the judge decided against Ford’s book, the main premise for this was, that some Dr. Murray said that “informed medical opinion” does not maintain that diet can in any way reverse arteriosclerosis, and that to read such material would cause people to avoid getting AMA approved treatment for their condition.  This is of course assuming that the person reading is dying of arteriosclerosis and rejecting all medical help upon reading!  The the main premise of the book is prevention, not treatment.  And, as I stated above, the books dedication includes presenting the material for consideration to one’s doctor.   By the way, Dr. Murray was under 30 with obviously loads of clinical experience.  Hmm, I wonder if he was doing any research for the chemical companies.  Bonuses for drugs, anyone? 

Today, see what a well-respected physician is saying about the food industry.  These days it’s getting more difficult to silence a doctor actually observing his Hippocratic Oath.  This particular article is from Bottom Line Health, information that is free and available to all.  In his article for November of this year, “Your Taste Buds are being Fooled!”, Dr. David A. Kessler, former head of the Food and Drug Association, asserts that, yes indeed, the food manufacturers do their best to trick your taste buds into wanting more, and more, and more “food”.   He goes on to say that will-power, (as with any addiction-my words), or lack of it, is not to blame.  In fact, he asserts that our brains are being “hi-jacked” by certain combinations of chemicals that encourage dopamine release.  Indeed, “hyperpalatability” of the food-or, rather, stuff-to-be-ingested, is the desired characteristic of much research in creating new food products loaded with fat, sugar, and salt.  When questioned, what do the food manufacturers say?  As usual, they say they’re giving the people what they want.  This line of thinking is reminiscent of the unfortunate raped woman who avoids going to the authorities in dread of being accused of attracting the rape with her clothing choices.  Dr. Kessler’s article can be read here:  http://www.bottomlinesecrets.com/article.html?article_id=50118

In my next 2 posts I will be examining the basic principles covered in Dr. Robert Ford’s book, now unavailable in print.  It can be found, however, at the online Soil and Health Library, and the link is provided below if you’d like to follow along.  His book is engaging reading and you may be amazed at how on-target most of his assertions have proven to be, over time.  Hopefully this will not enrage most of you as it has me…but I digress.  One of the things I found most interesting is the connection between arthritis and arteriosclerosis, which specifically the next post will address.

Until then, think for yourselves and have abundant health!

Terrific Tuesday -- Put Your 'Game Face' On

• Posted by Debbie Wysocki on October 21, 2009

Being able to start each day with the right mindset is important.

My sixth grade son calls it his ‘game face.’ 

Quick Question:  What is your game face and what is it telling the world?

Here are some shared reflections to make the your week laser focused and filled with gratitude. . .

The first is a universal truth:

Out of every adversity comes a seed of equivalent or  greater value.

When one door closes . . .another one opens

--------------------------------------------

My friend Max Steingart says it this way:

Failure is one of the surest stepping stones to success.

No element can do as much for you as failure can,

if you're willing to study it and make capital out of it.

The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.

----------------------------------------------

For those of you that see the glass half full . . . here are a few short quotes to get you in the 'hmmm' mode:

"The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to

paint the canvas of our lives."

                                   -- Louise Hay

"A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the

testing point of our character and competence."

                                    -- Stephen Covey

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important

as what you become by achieving your goals."

                                    -- Zig Ziglar

"Trust that still, small voice that says, This might

work and I'll try it."

                                    -- Diane Mariechild

"Success and True Lifestyle Freedom are in the Foundations

that you build on a Daily Basis"

--John DiLemme

Read Zig Ziglar’s quote  it again:

'What you get by achieving your goals is not as important

as what you become by achieving your goals.'

Take a minute to identify where it is that you want to go . . .

Put you 'game face' on and know your consistent daily actions

will yield BIG results.  Be like a pro football player  . . .  keep 'em

guessing until you're at the goal line!

Maurice Rene Weaver began his athletic/wellness journey at Power Memorial Academy in New York City.

By the time he graduated H.S. he was one of the most promising distance runners in the United States. After smashing the American Flat-floor Indoor Record in the 2 mile run, a sensational American Record in the Distance Medley Relay & a sterling mile time of 4:08, he was awarded a scholarship to Eastern Michigan University where he pursued a degree in Social Work.

Looking for some place to fulfill this passion for sport and wellness, Maurice began using his own experiences from training and competing to assist others in attaining their running and fitness goals, or more aptly put, taking their well-being to another level.

As Maurice did so many times while competing, he began infusing mind, body, and spirit concepts to coaching his runners/clients. "The synergy between Mind, Body, and Spirit is the chasm by which success happens." says Maurice who had by now began to formulate his philosophy of coaching, which is to empower individuals with tools or strategies for success.

Whether it is through coaching, a runner, a client, or motivational speaking, Coach Mo's positive energy is contagious. With enthusiasm, humor & a holistic philosophy, he challenges one to fulfill their maximum potential.

Getting ‘Charged Up’ Again About Each Other!

Dear Mr. Brown,

As you know, at the start of this New Year, my husband and I decided we needed to make some major adjustments in our lives.  We had put on a tremendous amount of weight, were constantly tired, not getting our housework done and we were eating for recreational purposes.  Worse yet, our five year-old daughter was beginning to pick up all of our bad habits.

One night we were watching ‘The Biggest Loser’ and started talking about how we might apply these theories in our lives.  In the past, we have subscribed to a wide variety of fad diets and exercise machines.  Nothing was working and even when we experienced short term results, the weight gain came on full-force shortly thereafter.  We realized we needed some solid guidance and support to get through this.  We decided there would be no more reading, no more experimenting and certainly no more roller coaster effect!

We searched the internet and were blessed to find you via Visionary Trainers.  Within 1 week, as you may recall, you had us both on a track for a healthy and much more meaningful lifestyle.  You patiently and passionately took the time to explain your theories and systems to us in a way that we could understand.  Kevin, your plan makes sense.  It is designed around best human practices and practical concepts versus the modern theories of substitute, replacement and deprivation.  This is the underlying reason it is working for us.

We have been faithful to the Liberation Diet which is NOT a diet at all but about making smart choices and understanding the source of our foods.  Still, no weight loss plan comes without exercise.

Our personal trainer, Sherri, that you hand-picked for us through Visionary Trainers has been coming to our home 3 times each week to educate us in proper and results-oriented physical exercise.  Sherri motivates us and keeps us on our toes.  She is someone we can no longer live without!  There is no greater motivation than a devoted and caring professional knocking at your door at 5:30 in the morning to get you revved up for your day.

We also use the in-home cooking program provided by Liberation Wellness called Rachels Way. Rachel has helped us learn how to eat healthy and her service is so reasonable it is a no-brainer.

Within 3 weeks on this program, I lost 10 pounds (5.3% body weight) and my husband lost 15 pounds (6.5% body weight).  I am now currently down 51 pounds! We are not tired but full of energy.  We are not agonizing over a diet and food deprivation but loving our meals and feeling very fulfilled.    We are not spending any more money on this meal and exercise plan than we were before because we are not eating out anymore.  Instead we go out for activity and pure entertainment. People are noticing the transformation and it feels great!  We continue to lose weight, our skin has better tone and our faces are rejuvenating.

Still, there are so many other benefits to share.  We now have energy to play actively with our daughter rather than sending her to her play room or the television.  We are getting our housework done and then some.  I personally have been so energized and crisp at the office that my productivity has increased by almost 25%.  Whereas I was getting my work done within the day before, I now find myself over producing and/or asking for more.  My husband and I are getting ‘charged’ up again about each other as we were early in our marriage.  Most importantly, we are now spending daily quality time together.  We are exercising, cooking, working on house projects, etc. Our daughter is learning the system and excited about it.  She enjoys participating in our exercise regimen where she can.  To put it quite simply, we feel great, we are looking great and we are having FUN again!

Kevin, we could never have pulled this off without you.  We are so grateful for you and this program.  Thank you for giving us our lives back.

With much fondness and gratitude,

Michele Tate – Yardley PA.

Liberation Diet Winning War Against Palsy!

I have been following your Liberation Diet for over a couple of months now and have followed your supplementation recommendations.

I was also going to the ophthalmologist every two weeks and since I have followed your regime, my eye sight has improved and I know longer have dry patches on my lens.
