OK, so within a month at least you'll know you're on the right track. What are
the things in your treatment program that people absolutely must do to get
better and what are some of the things they can safely skip if they're
uncomfortable with them and if they skip those parts of the program, how does
it affect the results?
Parts that I think are essential is an anti-inflammatory
plant-based diet and foods that are minimally or not processed whatsoever.
There's no mystery to this. This is the way humans have eaten throughout the
entirety of human history until the last sixty to eighty years when all of a
sudden we had refrigerators and freezers and trucks coming from across the
country to bring us meat and food science technology laboratories. Now that we
have refrigerators and freezers, only now can people eat meat two to three
times a day.
Before,
throughout the entirety of human history, people weren't killing a cow or a
chicken or goat for every single meal. And also because they were cooking over
fires - they didn't have a stove, they didn't have an oven that means they
couldn't just set a temperature. You can imagine if they had to grow their
grain and they had to grind it and then they had to bake it to make into breads
or pasta or crackers or cereal, you can imagine they had very little of that
stuff in their diet.
Their
diet came from what they grew in their back yard and the vast majority of it
was plants because it was too expensive to kill an animal for every single
meal. It came from what they grew in their back yard or what they got at
farmer's market. But now within the last sixty to eighty years, we have
genetically-engineered foods. 70% of the American food supply is genetically
engineered and there were never any clinical research trials done to tell us
what the potential outcome of that is.
Meat
and dairy and eggs are given supplemental hormones, supplemental antibiotics
and fed genetically-engineered grains that they're not even designed to eat in
the first place. To the degree that we eat a plant-based diet that comes
straight from nature meaning this is nothing more than the way humans were
eating in the entirety of history until the last hundred years that this exerts
its own anti-inflammatory effect.
This
is the way that people in third world countries that are living longer than
Americans are still eating. The United
States now ranks forty-second in the world for
longevity and we've been outpaced by some third world countries where people
never go to a doctor a single time. They may never go to a dentist their entire
lives. But they're living longer than we are. But they're also eating what they
grow in their back yard and what they get from farmer's market. And they don't
have televisions or video games or computers to sit in front of all day.
So
it's lifestyle. When we just go back to the lifestyle, the way of eating and
the way of living that we're designed to live as human beings, then that is its
own way of protecting our health.
