Incorrect: Dis-ease and Death Begin In the Colon

[Guest guest]

I have a DVD titled " Death Begins In the Colon. "

I disagree. Dis-ease and death begin in the kitchen and at the

market. What you buy to eat, and what you put in your mouth are where

dis-ease and death begin.

I have become convinced that eating a high bulk, low-calorie diet of

many different kinds of whole foods is one of THE VERY BEST THINGS a

person can do to get and to remain healthy.

One reason for that I may not have mentioned in specific detail is

that high bulk, low calorie foods cannot help but stimulate

intestinal peristalsis, causing one to expel waste matter far more

frequently than someone who eats mainly low-bulk, high calorie foods.

Ever hear the expression, " Healthy as a horse " ? Ever see what a horse

pasture looks like? Ever see a horse that is " backed up "

intestinally? That's one MISERABLE horse!

I know I shall continue eating high bulk, low calorie for the rest of

my life. It's a basic of both the Budwig and the Gerson protocols,

and the longer I do it, the more sense it makes.

Hi Elliot

What you say makes a lot of sense. Could you specify which particular foods

you eat most of - ie what's the core of your diet?

Hi, .

Glad to give kind of a rundown of how I eat:

In the morning, first thing, I drink a large glass of water---at

least 15 ounces. I have read that adding lemon juice to the water is

a good idea, but currently do not do so, as it makes the water harder

to drink, and after all, it is mainly the water I want to get into

me, not the lemon juice. I drink as much water as I can during the

day---at least a half-gallon, and preferably a good deal more than

that.

Usually the first thing I " eat " is a large (about a quart/32

ounces) " green smoothie " made from lots of dark green leafies, like

kale, collards, chard, chicory, dandelions, lamb's quarters,

purslane, spinach + fruits---apple, berries and banana. If the drink

tastes " too green " I add enough banana and perhaps agave nectar(this

is a sweetener that can be found at Kroger health food section or at

health food stores.)

I also eat, daily, about a dozen raw almonds and a handful of raw

walnuts, that I have previously soaked and dried in a dehydrator,

which makes for better digestability.

Fairly often I eat a bowl of brown rice and/or some organic beans at

some point during the day. I usually add extra virgin olive oil and

granulated garlic to this.

I eat lots of avocados, tomatoes, red bell peppers, and a few Medjool

dates. My wife makes raw " crackers " in the dehydrator, made from

vegetables and ground flax seed, and I snack on these. She also makes

all kinds of " dips " from raw ingredients, and I eat the crackers with

those dips. She made a delicious " no-bean " chumus the other day from

zucchini. It didn't last two days!

I eat mixed salads, in which I put lots of different leafies and

vegetables---romaine, kale, tomatoes, onions, carrot, cauliflower,

dill, cilantro, red bell pepper, spring mix, etc.

We grow our own raw sprouts, and eat those by themselves, in salads

and juiced in our smoothies.

Currently, I take the following supplements daily: Chlorella, Red

algae, Spirulina, Alfalfa, Selenium, CoQ10, Rutin, Quercitin, Fish

Oil, Lecithin, Green Tea Extract, Curcumin

I take the Curcumin and Green Tea Extract with a tablespoon or two of

Coconut Butter, for better absorption. The Coconut Butter is also

very good nutrition.

Occasionally I eat baked or steamed potatoes.

My wife has learned how to do some fairly sophisticated raw cooking,

and she makes some excellent non-sugar desserts, as well as things

like raw lasagna, raw pizza, raw burgers, etc.

I had been taking plenty of powdered barley green daily, mixed in

water, but may be rethinking that. I may begin growing our own wheat

grass and juicing and drinking that.

I have a bottle of B12 tablets and I take one of those once in a

while. But I am not so completely off meat, chicken and fish that I

run the risk of becoming B12 deficient. When we have company over,

maybe twice a month, or if we visit friends, we usually prepare or

are served some kind of animal protein, and will eat some of it. When

I do eat animal protein, I take some extra alfalfa tablets

to " balance it out " some.

That's about all I can think of right now. It's been about 9 months

since we've been eating that way, and I feel very good indeed. I

continue to monitor myself to try to make sure I do not become

deficient in something.

Best wishes,

Elliot
