Happy day all

I am excited to talk on another contriversial subject, preventing, managing, and self healing from the flu. With so much hype these days about the coming and recent past flu pandemic, so much conflicting information/contriversy over the vaccine this is indeed a heated issue. As a whole this could be debated, going on and on with page after page of studies and research on all sides. TO ME the proof is in the pudding (chocolate date pudding, or faux banana rice pudding hahaha). I myself havent been sick in over 10 years, my mentor Dr Doug Graham boasts over 30 years sick free, his 6 year old girl not a sick day in her life. This can all be atributed to a hygienic lifestyle dominated by whole fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables.

Upon researching the list of toxic controversial ingredients, medically listed inherent dangers, documented fatalities, cases of severe nerve damage, documented onset autism, and general health decline attributed to and following vaccines the risks are too large to ignore. I have researched this subject for years, there are many sites and whole books dedicated to these very real dangers. I Highly recommend you research vaccines yourself before making any decision that could effect you and the ones you love for the rest of your lives. Take into consideration many of the books and articles written are by people who’s lives and families have been devastated by vaccines, while pro-vaccine sites and articles often are ruled by medical dogma, fueled by big pharma $ and vested interests.

In any case, prevention is the best option. We are truly gifted with a completely self regulating self maintaining highly efficient miraculously amazing physical body that is constantly working 24/7 to keep us in perfect health. It is truly from our own actions and human created pollution that we thwart and degrade this God given natural state. With all seriousness look at the average north american lifestyle and food choices, little exercise, loads of stress and much of the food we eat we wouldn’t even feed our domesticated animals. Without a thought pop, chips, processed sweets, meats, dairy, and grains, know poisons like alcohol, cigarettes, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides. Paying big money to smear creams, cosmetics, deet, and lotions all over our skin that are know to have toxic ingredients and qualities. High stress lifestyles with a go go go never enough mindset, this is the “normal” world we live in. Its really no wonder people on average feel battered often getting sick numerous times every year developing so many degenerative diseases. When our bodys are constanly barraged, rarely getting a chance to properly detox and heal we end up with a overload. Intelligently our bodies show symptoms and create conditions to literally purge itself of accumulated waste shown through fatigue, fever, mucous etc.

How do we prevent the flu?

This is easy and really is common sense.

Firstly eat more of the best foods we know we can, namely whole fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables. We all know every fruit and vegetable comes with ani-cancer this, high vitamin high antioxidant that, is the best source of pure living water and to top it off tastes great! Ever since I decided to constantly enjoy a large fruit breakfast and eat mostly whole foods over 10 years ago I have not gotten sick. Its as simple as that. You can start any meal with as much fruits and/or leafy greens as you care for, the more the better, try adding a few all raw meals or add jet fuel your wellness and try going 100% raw. The benefits far outweigh the addiction rationalized negatives, that I can assure you. By adding more fresh, you will naturally eat less junk, crave less, feel more energetic and motivated to make more changes.

Secondly get some rigorous physical activity in regularly that you enjoy doing. Changing it up as often as you desire, by doing so you can compliment all aspects of fitness, strenght, cardio, flexibility/balance, speed/agility, and hand eye coordination. Any activity that can bring you to a sweat and get your blood pumping will increase your bodies natural disease fighting ability and improve your overall fitness and health. Most of all have fun with it, the more fun you have the more likely you will continue these habits in the future

Thirdly make sure to get in adequate sunlight, approximately 15 min a day, and get all the sleep  you desire to ensure optimal health and recovery. Try to live as stress free a lifestyle as you can, consider stress a reminder you need to breath deep reconnect with yourself and relax.

What if yo already have flu sypmtoms?

This really is easy to manage and get over although it takes some slowing down and faith in our bodies innate healing capacity. Most often when people get sick they try to cover and fix symptoms by taking aspirin, cold/flu pills, syrups, garlic ect. Our body is much more intelligent than our intellect, really any action we take simply adds on to our obvious toxemia and list of burdens. The best course of action is to relax, get as much rest as possible, stay in bed all day, even for a few days if you can. Only eat if you are actually hungry and then fresh fruits, remember hunger is not anxious, irritable, or in anyway painful. Listen deeply to your body, drinking as much as you need if your thirsty. A few days of relaxing, pampering yourself (you deserve it!) with baths, nice conversations, meditation, fresh ripe raw high water content fruits and leafy greens and lots of sleep is your best bet to ensure quick recovery. Consider all animals in nature as well as babys naturally eat little or no food during illness, refusing even water at times, they are the masters of listeing to their body and much more in tune with themselves.

Have trust in your bodies wisdom, love yourself fully giving the time, pampering, and rest you need in any given moment. We really can be hard on our selves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are truly each a temple. Its so important to take break and release sometimes, relax let go, everything will be ok. Remember that you deserve the best, all the time

hope this sheds some light, as always all questions comments and concerns are welcome.

Happy Day everyone

Hope your enjoying this late summer heat n the freshness we are receiving. I am dripping in the best b.c nectarines ive ever had, buying by the box from the farmers markets for between 50 cents and 1 dollar a pound

I want to talk today on a controversial subject, supplementation. Its almost funny, often the “most unhealthy” people you see, who eat lots of junk food, drink lots or alcohol and soda’s most usually dont even think about nutrition nor supliment much or at all. While sometimes these people are very obviously in poor health and shape, sometimes you see a active trim happy person with this lifestyle. On the other hand it seems often the more someone pays attention to their health, the better they eat, also the more they supliment. This seems strange to me on some levels, but is obvious when really examined.

When someone embarks on improving their health usually they do research in a multitude of places, are overwhelmed with information and often succumb to fear based marketing. It is shown that the most effective marketing is accomplished when a sence lack is created, thereby creating a need that of course the writer or funder of the article/study miraculously supply. Most often they are the only supplier of a “reliable” or “high quality” source. Fear and confusion based marketing is truly a art, one that has been studyed, perfected, and designed to play directly with our strongest base needs, emotions, and fears. I urge you to follow the money, ask yourself if what you are reading or being told really makes since, and be especially aware when you feel your being acted upon out of fear.

You truly create what you put focus on, this is show again and again. You can be on the best diet in the world, but if your focus is on a feeling of lack, fueled by fear, constantly feeling the need to supplement with this nutrient, that mineral, superfood ect, your going to exhibit that sense of lack in your body and mind Stress is a very real factor in your overall health, both self created and that which you are subjected to.  Common sense would tell you that the better you eat, the less your need to supplement should be. It may be poignant to note that the absolute vast majority of nutritional imbalances are those of excess, not deficiency. Nutrients all work in concert with each other, enzymes, coenzymes, vitamins co vitamins, minerals, and their co minerals all packages in their proper complimentary ratios, absorption regulated by fiber inherent in the whole foods for optimal nutrition. Considering this and the fact that isolated nutrients can only in reality create further imbalances, contain lower quality nutrients that their fresh counterparts, and also contain fillers, binders, along with other substances which are undesirable for health, the rational for supplementation makes little to no sense.

I am not saying there is no cases or times where supplementation may be beneficial, If you are dying of a deficiency, bedridden, or showing clear signs of deficiency do what you feel is best. It may be helpful to note that most often deficiencies are caused by a absorption problem, not inadequate exposure. These issues most often self correct when digestion and therefor absorption is improved. This can best be accomplished by either a improved well combined raw diet or if dealing with a more serious issue, a proper supervised fast. Fasting is a natural healing gift older than we are, all animals and even kids when sick, injured or in emotional trauma, naturally fast, that is without fear based influence, more on that later. The medical, and in truth alternative health model recommends supplementing if there is even a inkling that there may be a deficiency or that it may help. The health model suggests taking away the cause of the symptoms of deficiency thereby allowing the body to naturally balance  and regulate itself. On a healthy well combined diet, predominated by or made up entirely of fresh, ripe, raw, organic, whole, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, accompanied by regular vigorous activity, along with other healthy lifestyle factors supplementation need not be a concern.

I hope this clears some questions regarding supplementation, I look forward to any questions or comments which could in turn be answered in a future post.

Take heart, enjoy and love the food that loves you back. Know that by eating whole fresh ripe raw orgainc fruits and veggies nuts n seeds you are indeed getting the best possible source of all needed nutrients in their proper ratios for optimal health. Give credence to the creator, the majesty and gift that is our body, our speciecs specific foods,  give thanks! We have been given all we need to thrive! love being alive!
