Re: SILVER BULLETS?

[Guest guest]

Hi Will,

Sorry, but I've not been with the group very long and do not know what

the " WAPF route " means. I'm heading back to the Hallelujah Diet as

promoted by Malkmus at www.hacres.com. What is the WAPF route?

Thanks.

SILVER BULLETS?

I've been working with people who want to change their health by

changing their diet. The WAPF route that makes sense to me is far astray

from the PC Diet Dictocrat plan (low fat, soy, veggie) so this becomes

extremely dangerous, especially given the tendency for people to

savagely attack you if any one thing goes wrong, say a " cleansing "

diarrhea or other symptoms that occur with ANY dietary or lifestyle

shake-out, no matter how slow or how gentle. If someone brings a

complaint, any complaint, to the authorities, you can expect nothing but

additional arrows and knives in the back from the medical establishment

as well! Maybe even a noose! It's pretty insane.

People have also been (mis)led to believe that certain things can cure

you instantly.

Hugh Lovel, a biodynamic farmer wrote this about people looking for the

SILVER BULLET type of cure. I thought it was stingingly accurate as well

as being very interesting historically....

sundry anastomosis of solutions.

Nevertheless the belief in the silver bullet is primal and very hard to

root out. I think one needn't worry that there will be a mass conversion

of PhD's and MDs away from looking for silver bullets. Humanity is

really not so far from the days of werewolves and vampires.

Silver, it is interesting to note, is in the astral row in the periodic

table with copper being on the etheric row and gold on the egoic row.

Werewolves and vampires are creatures of aberated consciousness,

sensation and desire, which is why the old alchemists such as Paracelsus

knew to give people little pillules containing finely divided silver to

remedy their susceptibility to these apparations.

That these " silver bullets " worked was famous, thus the metaphor. But

not all the problems in the world are astral and insanely parasitic. So

even though these forerunners to homeopathic medicines were marvelously

effective we haven't solved all the problems of existence with silver

bullets. It would be quite narrow minded to think so, but many today

have that sort of mindset and are prone to say " If ONLY I do x then y

and z will never occur.

Opps, Gorden, I didn't mean to talk in " code " but the WAPF plan I referred to

is the style of nutrition that Weston A. Price discovered back in the 1930's as

he traveled around the world. It could be boiled down to the 11 main

principles of ALL healthy indigenous cultures around the world. Sally Fallon

and others have carried on his work in the brilliant

education-research-activism organization the Weston A. Price Foundation

(WAPF).

Much of the plan revolves around encouraging traditional fats, the soy alert,

grass-fed foods, lacto-fermentated foods,, real milk, nutrient-dense fruits,

vegetables, greens and food. You can find clear synopses of the entire

philosophy at www. WestonAPrice.org or in Sally's incredible book

NOURISHING TRADITIONS.

Please refresh all our memories of what the Hallaleujah Diet is all about,

especially the parts that have worked for you or that you particularly like. I'd

like to put this in our Links section as well.

Hi Will,

I understand your frustration, and sometimes I wonder if people sometimes just

need so desperately to believe in something, that when they choose to focus on

something such as soy diets, etc. - its then like moving a mountain to convince

them otherwise. For those that I am happily able to educate, I always make sure

to explain to them the concept of your body going through a " Healing Crisis "

ahead of time. It's so often the case that things get worse before they get

better. But I look at it this way, if I change the life of just one person

through sharing what I've learned - then the world is already a better place.

There's no arguing that someone that listens, and does what they need to do, is

going to without a doubt feel good/better. And what better way to make believers

of them and ensure that they share what they've learned? But like anything else,

if they don't want the change, why waste your breath?
