A Precious Gift

You have been given a precious gift- your life.

How you live your life- your lifestyle- will dictate how long you live.
Your dream is to live a long, happy life.
There are many hurdles standing in your way to prevent this.
You should want to know what these hurdles are.
That is one of the purposes of this blog.

I hope each of you will look back someday and be happy with healthy lifestyle changes you made, that ultimately contributed to your longer life.
These healthy lifestyle changes are what I would like to talk to you about.

I had to fix something that was broke.
As a young man I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and contracted Crohn’s Disease. Today, at 54, I take no pills. I’ve fixed the first two diseases with a healthy diet. Crohn’s is life long, but is controlled by a healthy diet. I’ve had occasional Crohn’s flare-ups over the years when I regress to old bad habits. Sometimes knowing what I should do to be healthy, and doing it are two different things. I’m sure you can identify.
I don’t think there are many, if any people who have Crohn’s that don’t take any pills. Most have sections of their bowels removed, and have to suffer through problems later caused from the surgical lesions that form. They take their pills and continue with their unhealthy dietary, life shortening habits.
It is thought that Crohn’s leads to other disease, such as cancer.
Researchers believe that Crohn’s is caused by a bacteria in cow’s milk.
This research is being blocked by the billion dollar dairy industry.

Because of my earlier illnesses and learning to heal them the best, most natural way, I have become passionate about further study. I want to share what I’ve learned with you. If you stick with me in blog entries to come, at the very least, you’ll learn. At the very most, you will make lifestyle changes which will add years to your life, to the lives of your children, and to those around you.

Every lifestyle change I’ll be suggesting will come right from the best nutrition doctors in the world, who are saving thousands from a life of pain and disease with their “prescriptions for nutritional excellence.”

I sincerely hope you will consider the food for thought I will be presenting.

Please pass the antelope milk...

From a fellow blogger: "Let's really think about it. Why does anyone feel compelled to drink cow's milk? Why would anyone find it necessary to nurse on a cow three times a day? Why not an antelope? Would you be appalled if someone served you a glass of antelope milk to drink? Yuck. But maybe you'd gladly take that cow's milk, containing hormones, pesticides, pus, and any assortment of antibiotics, dioxins, bovine cancer cells- all kinds of bad stuff. There have been countless studies that show milk can have debilitating effects on a wide assortment of people. Kids can have unknown allergies to it. It may even be related to autism when the milk proteins (which humans aren't great at digesting) cross over into the bloodstream and mess with the nervous system. And the whole calcium thing. How does every other animal have strong bones? Drinking cow's milk? No. From the foods they eat. A cow gets its calcium from the grass and grains it eats. But most cows

Doctor’s Orders: Eat Well to Be Well

OAKLAND, Calif. DR. PRESTON MARING was striding along a hospital corridor at double speed on a recent Friday morning, his tall frame, white hair and frequent gesticulations prompting waves of greetings from colleagues, who also took care to sidestep his forward momentum. His destination was the weekly farmers’ market he started in 2003, just outside the front door at the Kaiser Permanente medical center here. “Since it’s mine, I made the rules — all organic,” he said as he skimmed by a line of stalls where fresh fruits and vegetables are sold to hospital workers, passers-by and even, he said, those bringing patients to the emergency room. Dr. Maring, 64, a gynecologist and obstetrician with three decades as a surgeon, is well known as a former physician in chief at the hospital, the man who spearheaded the creation of its new pediatric neurosurgery unit. But increasingly, his reputation and perpetual motion revolve around his conviction that in the health professions, the kitchen must

It is hard to eat and drink healthy, but it can be done.

Healthy eating is certainly not for everyone. For most it is too difficult to rid unhealthy food addictions. Temporary taste satisfaction is more important than thinking of health for the long term. I grew up eating all kinds of animal foods, plus sugary, salty, oily junk foods as well. These unhealthy addictions are not easy to give up. Babies/children raised on healthy food and drink alone have a great chance for long term health. But that does not mean adults who've been raised on unhealthy food cannot make the switch. Some people like myself are forced to eat healthy because of illness. I have Crohns Disease (which by the way comes from drinking cow's milk/eating dairy products). I took the doctor's pills for 2 years after the initial diagnosis. Then I learned what is healthy and what is not, changed to a healthy diet, and was able to stop taking all pills. If I continue to eat healthy there is no need to take any pills whatsoever for Crohns. (The only "pill"
