Dr Weil's Healty Eating.  In news stands until 4 January 2004.

 

 

Dr Weil's Healty Eating. In news stands until 4 January 2004.

Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard-educated physician, adds credibility and expertise to the natural healing methods he espouses in his best-selling books, on his Internet Web site, in his talk show appearances, and in his popular audio CD of music and meditation. Weil’s Spontaneous Healing spent more than a year on the best-seller list, and his 1997 book, Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, also was a runaway best-seller. Perhaps the best known proponent of naturalistic healing methods, Weil has been trying to establish a field he calls integrative medicine. He is director of Tucson’s Center for Integrative Medicine, which he founded in 1993. In 1997, he began training doctors in the discipline at the University of Arizona, where he teaches.

 

His publication, pictured above, is an excellent resource for attaining a healthier eating style.

 

 

  

Green tea is full of EGCg, a potent antioxidant.  It is estimated to be four times a potent as vitamin E.  The author of this article, Chris Kilham, is a medicine hunter who researches natural remedies all over the world, from the Amazon to Siberia. He teaches ethnobotany at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he is Explorer In Residence.

Review by Sally Fallon

First published in 1997, then reissued under the title Native Nutrition, then reprinted in 1997 under the original title Traditional Foods Are Your Best Medicine, this book gets a qualified Thumbs Up. For anyone interested in the research of Weston Price, Schmid’s analysis of his work and the long-lived peoples of Vilcabamba, Hunza and Soviet Georgia is must reading. His Part 2 discussion of the various components of a healthy diet, especially seafood, is excellent. Unfortunately, Schmid’s discussion of dietary fats was influenced by several writers of the anti-saturated-fat school and he makes many mistakes in this area, leading to some glaring inconsistencies–warnings against saturated fat on one page, for example, and recommendations to eat butter on the next. So read this book with discrimination, profiting from the insights into native diets but ignoring the warnings against saturated fats.

 

Schmid begins by summarizing the findings of Weston Price, the levels of tooth decay and dental deformities in primitive and modern groups and an enumeration of the items in their diets. Some interesting tidbits: the Guinea pigs consumed by the Incan and Tauhuanocan cultures of the Andes were a rich source of vitamin D; and the African tribes on largely vegetarian diets had well-formed dental arches but little resistance to dental decay.

 

Schmid notes that in every culture studied by Price, certain foods were eaten raw–whether milk, cheese, organ meats, muscle meats or fish. He describes Pottenger’s experiments with cats, in which cats given cooked foods developed the same diseases as humans eating processed foods. Schmid’s points regarding raw animal foods, especially raw milk, are well taken, but it should be noted that all of the cultures Price studied built fires and cooked some of their food–even in cultures where fires were not needed for warmth. Grains, tubers and plant foods were usually fermented and/or cooked. In fact, in a letter written to his nieces and nephews, Price recommended that most vegetables be cooked, because for humans, cooking made it easier to absorb minerals from these categories of food.

 

Schmid is at his best discussing the superiority of raw milk over pasteurized. He notes that healthy animals do not carry the diseases supposedly avoided through pasteurization. For example, cows fed trace minerals manganese, cobalt, copper and iodine are immune to brucellosis. He points out that commercial dairy products usually aggravate arthritis and back problems because pasteurization changes the way calcium is arranged and disturbs its normal utilization. He also condemns the addition of synthetic vitamin D to commercial milk. In his clinical practice, he does not find these back and joint problems in raw-milk drinkers.

 

Although Schmid errs in his claim that grass-fed animals are healthier because they are leaner, his writes eloquently about the problems with the industrial meat-production model. “No private individual, stable, zoo, kennel or even research facility may legally treat animals as they are commonly treated on factory-farms,” he writes. “Pressure from the agribusiness and pharmaceutical lobbies has explicitly excluded farm animals from protection under the federal Animal Welfare Act. . . . No laws require any consideration for the welfare of animals. . . Ironically, the interests of animals and consumers are coincident, for healthy, naturally fed and humanely raised animals provide healthy food.”

 

This is an important reference book for those familiar with our teachings, but is not recommended for those new to this material, who may be swayed by the misinformation on dietary fats.

Some  scientists speculate that the flu is linked to vitamin D production which is tied to the latitude you live at.  Sun light exposure is less in the winter months and may contribute to your ability to fend off the seasonal flu.

War Veterans

  THANK YOU VETERANS!

 

While most know that Veterans Day honors those who have served in the military, the meaning behind its exact date (November 11) may not be so familiar. Here’s the back-story:

 

Back in 1918, in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, a stop to hostilities was declared, ending World War I. An armistice to cease the fighting on the Western Front was signed by the Allied powers and Germany.

 

President Woodrow Wilson immediately proclaimed the day “Armistice Day,” kicking off the annual commemoration on November 11. But over the years, with veterans returning from World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day — a day reserved to honor veterans returning from all wars. But 11/11 still represented the end of the Great War in the public’s mind, and the date stuck.
