Can you reverse disease? Prevent cancer and Alzheimer's?

Dr. Neal Barnard, who was raised on a cattle farm and on the standard American diet, does a great job explaining the connection between our diseases and what we eat.  He highlights several chronic western diseases such as: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.

Dr. Barnard started a website http://www.pcrm.org/health/ with resources of information regarding diet and disease.  He even has a place on the website where you can sign up to be a part of a dietary study for various diseases.

Disclaimer:  Dr. Barnard will reference an hypothesis (Richard Leakey's) regarding how man began eating meat.  It is clearly recorded in the Bible (Genesis 1-9) that man was created by God and given herbs, fruits and seeds to eat.  When all of mankind had completely forgotten God, with the exception of Noah and his family, God destroyed the earth with a catastrophic world wide flood.  It was following the recession of water that God blessed animals for man's food - with special instructions regarding the slaughter of the animal and not to eat the meat raw.  If you have not read Genesis 1-9, I encourage you to do so.  Ask God to reveal truth to your heart and mind.  God has told mankind, in the Bible, that He will once again judge and destroy the earth with all who oppose Him.  He is currently waiting for you.  He wants everyone to understand His love and grace through Christ and to be adopted into His family.  If you do not yet know Him, read the gospel of John in the Bible and decide if you would like to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior from judgement.  He will give you life and peace.

Gut Check: Choose health, not junk!

CBS This Morning featured a health spot called "Gut Check" today.  The topic of beneficial bacteria is a key point for improving overall health for people of all ages.  The standard American diet is filled with meat, dairy, sweets, fat and refined carbohydrates.  These foods slow the digestive tract, contribute to the growth of inflammatory "bad" bacteria, reduce the good neurotransmitter production which benefits mental health, makes the body very acidic, and destroys the immune system.  The story on CBS This Morning highlighted the negative effects of bad bacteria being linked to diabetes, obesity and inflammation.

Mac & Cheese - no soy, no dairy, gluten free, delish!

Image
Before changing to a plant based diet, we used to eat a big pan of mac and cheese every week.  It was comfort food for me.  I felt determined to find a healthy alternative to this family favorite and came up with this recipe that doesn't call for nutritional yeast, soy or other seasoning additives which are high in glutamic acids - which result in a bad case of hiccups or heartburn and indigestion.  See what you think!  I wonder how long before I see a version of this recipe on some other plant based site!  :P Mac & Cheese plant-based style 24 oz GF brown rice macaroni 3 cups cauliflower, chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 cups raw cashews, toasted (toasting is very important for the flavor) 2 T vinegar 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp salt - add  to desired taste  after blending "cheese"  Boil macaroni according to directions on package, drain and set aside.  While maca...

The controversy of Gardasil

This topic does not specifically target dietary issues, but rather a need to be well informed in order to perform an act of self-defense.  Please consider and weigh the options when faced with a vaccination decision.  The following videos and links barely brush the surface of information available.  Whatever you choose to do, vaccinate or not, do it as a well informed individual. Dr. Pam Popper: Children's Health, Diet and IQ and Advice about Gardasil http://www.wellnessforum.com/ When a mystery illness of 12 New York school girls hit the news, there were many health scenarios posed as possible causes.  Shortly after the EPA and other agencies were called in to investigate and substance abuse eliminated, the story went silent and we have heard nothing of the possible conclusions.  Listen to the news broadcast on the following link as a few "experts" evaluate the mystery illness.  Notice, in the interviews, the comments about the girls having something ...
