Correcting the Causes of Disease with Proper Eating and Lifestyle
From the mass of research papers and books I collected, it was obvious that huge change in dietary lifestyle was needed. I’m currently on a 95% vegetarian diet with only about 5% animal food. And the animal food is simple: NO dairy products whatsoever, some trout, salmon. That’s about it for the animal kingdom. My goal is 100% vegetarian. The vegetarian food plan includes a variety of fresh fruits, raw and steamed vegetables, whole grain products, legumes and some nut-based products. That variety will increase as my digestive tract heals further.
In addition, I am on a slow natural detoxification program with high-quality fresh vegetable juicing, including BarleyLife, the dried green juice mixes with water. I bought a real (expensive too) juicer and the fresh carrot juice gives me more real nutrition than most Americans get in a week. I take special vitamin and mineral supplements in the antioxidant group. It’s important to note that these are not megadoses. They are balanced supplements to boost the immune system and take care of the harmful free radicals from the toxins. I’m converting to even more natural antioxidants after consulting Dr. Chesnut. And I’m still taking a few prescription drugs to assist the healing symptoms. But except for Herbal Fiber Blend, I don’t take any herbal supplements.
Let’s look at anxiety treatment. I’m still on the drug Xanax for anxiety. Actually relatively small doses of Xanax have very few adverse affects compared to the other central nervous system drugs. One bad thing about Xanax: it is addictive. Well guess what. Sugar, salt, alcohol, tobacco and caffeine are also addictive. Coming off Xanax has to be tapered very slowly, about ¼ mg per two weeks. I have read a couple of books for using several herbal substitutes, supposedly safer. Valerian root is one of these, but it’s addictive too. Herbs are basically unregulated drugs, don’t kid yourself. At least you can read a 400-page FDA report on whatever drug you might take, but not on the "naturals". Anxiety and the digestive tract are closely coupled. Bad things in one area can set off the other and vice-versa. I will also be on some GI tract drugs until my natural diet can heal me. Animal products and dairy foods made my anxiety worse. My progress so far has been great. I’ve reduced my GI tract drugs drastically. My biggest problem getting off the drugs is the anxiety triggering GI problems. I am seeking Natural Hygiene assistance to solve these problems as well as cognitive therapy on stress management.
After just two months on a 90%+ vegetarian food lifestyle, I have gone from 220 pounds to 170 pounds and I am physically stronger. My exercise is walking up and down stairs in the winter and brisk outside walks when the weather is decent. No aerobics yet, except for frequent "aerobic" lovemaking with my wonderful wife. I want to get into Yoga, but lack the motivation. I have to break my mental block against structured exercise. I sleep two less hours per night, yet suffer no symptoms of tiredness, although I do have some nights of insomnia.
The single most valuable source of practical nutritional information has been Chet Day’s Health and Beyond website, where many references and a wealth of information relating to health matters can be found. And Chet has answered my emails with practical suggestions and not extremist's advice. I am very grateful to Chet Day and Dr. Chesnut for their inspiration and counseling. Please be advised that this paper does not represent their opinions or advice, although I have certainly incorporated much of their work in this effort. Dr. Chestnut lives in Oklahoma City and we consult over the phone. In my opinion, he is a genius. He was forceful with me: He told me, GET RID OF THE DAIRY PRODUCTS AND ANIMAL PRODUCT FOODS RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. The slight amounts of undigested dairy and animal meats collect over a period of time in the body. Mucous and other deposits clog and block absorption of nutrients and let the damaging free-radicals rape the body. When we are children (under 25 years old) our enzyme and hormone product handles dairy products and meat reasonably well. NOT SO FOR ADULTS. Dairy and meat are more toxic than helpful. The advertising dollars of these industries and their lobby in Washington DC are powerful. Because the ill effects are not seen for years, the food industry gets away with Murder.
