Coconut Cures: Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut by Bruce Fife

Coconut Oil is a health food.

Sounds crazy? Does this go against conventional medical wisdom?  You betcha!

Low fat , no fat diets, all meat low carb diets . America has been fed a bunch of bull and it is time you and I took care of our own health.Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid and has many health benefits. Coconutoil.com – Research on Coconut Oil’s Benefits

Coconut oil and coconuts have been consumed for thousands of years in tropical island populations and The Philipines.  Studies done on native diets high in coconut consumption show that these populations are generally in good health, and don’t suffer as much from many of the modern diseases of western nations.

We have been using almost exclusively coconut oil and the taste is the best. We make our popcorn on the stovetop, the taste is as good or better than movie theater popcorn. I will post a video soon.

My wife no longer leaves long strands of hair in the bathroom. I have been eating 3 or more tablespoons daily. My skin , hair and digestion is in the best ever health . I have energy and feel healthier than I did thirty years ago.

get the extra virgin coconut oil at your health food store.

Remember this guy? Jay Kordich from the 19 hundred and nineties speaking of this guy is nearly ninety and in amazing health. I read Jay’s book Juiceman’s Power of Juicing.  I am convinced that juicing is the best way to eat a diet of raw fruits and vegetables.  I ordered the Juice Daddy juicer. The price was $159.99. Now Jay is selling a combination blender/juicer for $199.

Checking  out at the Costco with three 10 pound bags of organic carrots and three 10 pound bags of organic apples. The cashier says to me “you are just going to be too healthy! ” I laughed and said no there is no such thing.

My wife and I juice three times a day and we love the health benefits  and the taste. I have never had more energy and I just started with wheat grass. The shot of wheat grass will give you an incredible drug-free boost all day! Try it!

There are better juicers and more efficient juicers. This juicer is the best for the money. If you are also new to juicing the 2 DVDs and 5 CDs are very helpful. These  DVDs and CDs ,included in the package, will teach you everything you need to know about juicing, along with the book “Live Food , Live Bodies” and a handy A-Z juice therapy guide.

Eat your fruit and juice your veggies. The best diet is a raw food diet of 80% raw and the best raw food is juicing.

A good health salad, with fresh made juice  every day is another good way to eat a lot of raw food with fiber.

We like to  dine al fresco and enjoy the fresh air on the large patio facing  Bluebonnet Circle. A really cozy gas log fire kept the chill off as we ate, and  the  outdoor privacy allowed our 2 year old son to roam at will.

The pizzas are not vegan, but they have 4 really good pizzas with no meat, the cheese is non- vegan, dairy cheese.  The Spiral Diner (another Cowtown fav.)  and a restaurant north of Austin, Promise Pizza, makes pizzas with a vegan cheese called Daiya. The best non- dairy cheese is Daiya Vegan Cheese .

Non dairy cheese usually does not melt easily and doesn’t have that stringy good pizza taste like Daiya vegan cheese.

I often have debates with people about why I eat vegan, and the benefit one may have by giving up a meat and dairy diet.

For a healthy heart,  follow the McDougall Program diet based on starches, vegetables,and fruits, stay physically active, avoid stress ,  Don’t smoke , avoid smoke from tobacco, and do not drink excess alcohol.

The book “The McDougall Plan for a Healthy Heart” – John McDougall M.D. is the best plan to reverse heart disease and to prevent diseases like Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular disease.

This book will explain in detail how your heart and blood vessels work and what you are doing to kill yourself just by eating the “Standard American Diet” Or SAD. The number one killer in the U.S.A. is heart disease.

A diet of meat and dairy and processed foods is a diet that kills.

Processed Meat for Christmas (comic)

Mike Adams – NaturalNews.com

World cancer experts have finally declared what NaturalNews readers learned nearly four years ago: That processed meats cause cancer, and anyone seeking to avoid cancer should avoid eating all processed meats for life.

Hundreds of cancer researchers took part in a five-year project spanning more than 7,000 clinical studies and designed to document the links between diet and cancer. Their conclusion, published in the World Cancer Research Fund’s report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective (2007), has rocked the health world with a declaration that all people should immediately stop buying and eating processed meat products and that all processed meat should be avoided for life!

Processed meats, the report explains, are simply too dangerous for human consumption. And why? Because they contain chemical additives that are known to greatly increase the risk of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, pancreatic cancer and many more. The report, published at this DietAndCancerReport.org website also recommends that consumers:

• Avoid all sugary soft drinks for life.
• Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
• Get lean and fit, without becoming underweight.
• Limit consumption of ALL meats (even fresh meat).
• Breastfeed all infants for their first six months, avoiding infant formula.

Sadly, the WCRF still does not recommend that consumers use nutritional supplements to help protect themselves from cancer, indicating that the group still has a lot to learn about the role of medicinal mushrooms, sea vegetables, microalgae, Chinese herbs, rainforest herbs and superfood extracts in preventing and reversing cancer. But at least the group’s recommendation that consumers now avoid all processed meat products is a huge step in the right direction. It is the first time that any internationally-recognized cancer organization has found the courage to make a partial proclaimation about the health hazards of the chemicals found in processed meat products. It’s almost as big a deal as when the American Medical Association, after years of taking millions of dollars from tobacco companies, finally admitted that smoking causes lung cancer and heart disease. (A decade after the scientific evidence was irrefutable, of course, but then again, the AMA was making money off Big Tobacco by running tobacco ads in JAMA…)

What is “processed meat” exactly?

A woman asked me this question at a recent live event where I was warning the audience about the dangers of chemicals found in popular grocery products. Frankly, I was surprised to hear the question. But I’ve since learned that many people really don’t know the difference between processed meat and non-processed meat (“fresh” meat).

Here’s the difference:

Fresh meat usually has only one ingredient: The meat! Fresh meat is refrigerated and has a very short shelf life (just a few days, usually). It’s usually packaged in simple wrappers, with no fancy logos or color printing.

Processed meat has many ingredients and is usually packaged for long-term shelf life. These products almost always contain sodium nitrite, the cancer-causing chemical additive that meat companies use as a color fixer to turn their meat products a bright red “fresh-looking” color. Processed meat products include:

• Bacon
• Sausage
• Pepperoni
• Beef jerky
• Deli slices
• Hot dogs
• Sandwich meat (including those served at restaurants)
• Ham
• Meat “gift” products like Christmas sausages
• Meat used in canned soups
• Meat used in frozen pizza
• Meat used in kid’s lunch products
• Meat used in ravioli, spaghetti or Italian pasta products

… and many more meat products.

Unless it says “NITRITE FREE” on the front label, you can bet it’s made with cancer-causing sodium nitrite!

(Hint: You will only find nitrite-free meat products in two places in the grocery store: 1) In the fresh meat section where you can buy freshly-ground hamburger, for example, and 2) In the freezer, where you can find “natural” meat products that are nitrite-free.

What are the dangerous chemicals in processed

meats?

Sodium nitrite is one of the most dangerous chemicals added to processed meats. Please be aware:

• You MUST read the ingredients list to find the sodium nitrite! Meat product companies do not list this ingredient on the front of the package.

• Even ORGANIC meat products and NATURAL meat products can still contain sodium nitrite. So read the labels to be sure, and avoid buying any meat product made with sodium nitrite.

• Be especially careful of food for kids! Virtually all packaged food products containing meat and marketed to children contain sodium nitrite! (Read the ingredients to protect your children.)

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a second dangerous chemical found in virtually all processed meat products. MSG is a dangerous excitotoxin linked to neurological disorders such as migraine headaches, Alzheimer’s disease, loss of appetite control, obesity and many other serious health conditions. Manufacturers use MSG to add flavor to dead-tasting processed meat products.

Essentially, dead meat products look and taste dead (because they are), so meat companies use the following three ingredients to make them look fresh and taste interesting:

Sodium nitrite makes the meat look red and fresh. (But it promotes cancer.)

MSG makes the meat taste savory. (But it causes neurological disorders.)

Processed salt makes the meat taste more interesting. (But it causes nutritional problems and high blood pressure.)

On top of these three chemical additives, processed meats also contain saturated animal fat that is often contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other dangerous substances.

You can learn more about dangerous chemicals in the food supply in my book, Grocery Warning, available from Truth Publishing.

Or you can download my free Honest Food Guide from www.HonestFoodGuide.org which reveals the true health dangers of numerous chemicals added to processed foods. The Honest Food Guide has now been downloaded by over one million people.

Protect yourself and your family

Processed meats promote cancer. There is simply no question about the scientific validity of that statement, and anyone who disagrees with it is either working for the meat industry or hopelessly behind the times on their nutritional research.

The processed meat industry, of course, insists that processed meat is perfectly healthy and that you can eat all you want. It’s no surprise, of course: Big Tobacco insisted that cigarettes aren’t really bad for your health and that nicotine isn’t addictive, either. No industry is really willing to admit that its products are hazardous to human health, and the processed meat industry is no exception.

To protect yourself from these dangerous processed food products, here are the action steps to take:

1) Check the ingredients of all processed meat products in your refrigerator and pantry. Throw out any products containing sodium nitrite or MSG (monosodium glutamate).

2) Inform your spouse, roomates or children of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Show them the sodium nitrite right on the label of the products as you throw them out. Let them know that the World Cancer Research Fund now recommends that ALL consumers avoiding eating processed meats for life!

3) Boycott all processed meat products for life! Never buy processed meats again. That includes shopping at the grocery store, eating at a restaurant or consuming foods at a social event.

4) Spread the word. Tell others about the dangers of sodium nitrite. Print out the Honest Food Guide (www.HonestFoodGuide.com) and share it, if you want. Let people know that processed meats are dangerous for their health.

What’s next: The future of processed meats

My research tells me that chemical additives in processed meats are emerging as the next big food safety issue to hit mainstream awareness. Just a few years ago, most consumers had never heard of trans fats or the dangers of hydrogenated oils, for example. But once that issue went mainstream, fast food restaurants all over the country announced changes to avoid hydrogenated oils.

I believe that sodium nitrite in processed meats is the next big food safety issue that’s about to break into mainstream awareness. More and more consumers are suddenly aware that hot dogs promote cancer, or that bacon consumption is incredibly bad for your health. As awareness of this issue builds, there’s going to be increasing political pressure to pass laws that protect the public by strictly limited or banning the use of sodium nitrite in processed meats.

The meat industry, of course, which seems to have absolutely no respect for human or animal life, will fight this every inch of the way. The people in charge of meat-producing companies exhibit zero concern for the health of the consumers who actually eat their products, and they remain entirely focused on the profits to be had from selling more toxic meat products to gullible consumers.

But just like Big Tobacco’s marketing methods and fraudulent science was finally exposed as wholesale fraud, the processed meat industry is going to have to face scientific facts sooner or later: Sodium nitrite promotes cancer, and eating processed meat products substantially increases your risk of cancer. There’s no denying it or arguing about it, at least not by any sane person. Eating cancer-causing chemicals is blatantly and irrefutably dangerous to your health.

Why some people commit nutritional suicide

Of course, many low-income, low-education consumers still continue to smoke cigarettes AND eat processed meat products. (Attend any NASCAR event and you’ll find a whole crowd of ‘em!) But the smart consumers (who represent the real future of human civilization, by the way) are wising up and increasingly opting for healthier foods made without dangerous chemicals.

There are people in society today who exhibit a strong desire to commit nutritional suicide. For those people, there is beef jerky, hot dogs, frozen pizza, cigarettes and over-hyped “energy” drinks. The future of these people is easy to see: Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals, pain, death and bankruptcy.

Thankfully, there are other people who believe in taking care of their health and in living informed lives with outstanding health. For these people, there are living foods, superfoods, raw cacao, sprouts, rainforest herbs, sunshine, juicing and joyful exercise. Their future is also clear: Exceptional mental performance, freedom from chronic pain, excellent vitality and longevity, spiritual awareness, abundant living and much more.

Which group do you want to belong to?

You make that decision every time you shop for food. When you buy processed meats, you put yourself on a timeline track towards disease, suffering and medical victimization. But when you avoid meat products and focus on a plant-based diet, you are creating a future filled of abundance and health. It’s up to you to decide which of these futures you’d rather create.

Regardless of which future you choose, there’s no judgement from me. You’re free to do what you want with your life and your own body. Some people choose to abuse their bodies as chemical playgrounds, living in the moment and dying young. That’s their choice. Others choose to extend their lives and honor their bodies, living an extended, purpose-filled life. That’s fine, too. I don’t really care how people live their lives, I just want people to live consciously and understand that their decisions create results.

Anyone who decides to eat processed meat products on a repeated basis is simply creating a result. That result is cancer, and over enough years, that cancer will grow to the point where it shows up on a scan. That’s when the doctor says, “You have cancer” and starts prescribing even more toxic chemicals known as chemotherapy agents. This is not a disease with an unknown cause. In fact, cancer is incredibly easy to both prevent AND cure — but only if you understand the fundamentals of nutrition.

For now, just remember:

Processed meats = sodium nitrite = cancer

If you don’t want cancer, don’t eat processed meats. Ever.

(And if you really want to be healthy, eat a plant-based diet for life. But that’s another article altogether…)

The real story of Sarah Palin

Make no mistake, this is not the biography, Sarah Palin pretended to write, “Going Rogue”. Book review: Palin goes rogue on the facts

Many have mistakingly bought this book from the editors of Nation magazine, ha-ha. This book will give you a true account of the bizarre story of Sarah Palin. I have to say this woman most certainly is mentally ill. Palin is a rapture ready christian, who denys the truth about global warming, believes creationism should be taught in public schools, doesn’t believe in giving teens information about sex, and believes the U.S. Army is on a mission from God. Recent reports of her news reports on Faux News and the revealing look at her campaign in 2008 in the book “Game Change” reveal a dangerously disturbed woman. Several authors write accounts of the Palin phenomenon in “Going Rouge”.

My favorite is Jim Hightower’s “Sarah Palins Faux Populism”. “She’s a populist” gushed Karl Rove on Fox TV. Weird, since this right-wing political slime and corporate whore loathes, demonizes, mocks, fears, and tries to destroy real populists. Populism is not an empty political buzzword that can be attached to someone like Palin, whose campaigns were financed and even run by the lobbyists and executives of Big Oil, Wall Street bankers, drug companies, telecom giants, and other entrenched economic interests. Populists don’t support opening our national parks and coastlines to allow ExxonMobile to take publicly owned oil and sell it to China. Palin does. Populists favor a windfall profits tax on oil companies that are robbing consumers at the pump while milking taxpayers for billions of dollars in subsidies. Palin doesn’t.

Populists don’t hire corporate lobbyists to deliver a boatload of earmarked federal funds, then turn around and claim to be a heroic opponent of earmarks. Palin did. Populists favor shifting more of America’s tax burden from the middle class to the super wealthy, while opposing another huge tax giveaway for corporations. Palin doesn’t and doesn’t. another thing populists don’t do is sneer at community organizers, as Palin has. Indeed populists of old were community organizers, as are today’s. They work in communities all across our great land, putting in long days at low pay to empower ordinary folks who are besieged by the avarice and arrogance of Palin’s own corporate backers. Sarah Palin is a plutocrat not a populist. Big difference.

I give this book  5 stars.  Read more at Amazon.com Going Rouge: An American Nightmare by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed
