Food, Lifestyle, and Their Effect on Disease
The previous section explained in greater detail Medical doctors have little or no training in nutrition and consequently may tell you that there are no known causes of the conditions detailed in this book. In fact, I believe that the whole concept of nutrition being directly related to the state of our health is deliberately kept from doctors during their training. From what I hear from doctors, a culture of ridicule is deliberately fostered around the notion. We concur with a different group of scientists and doctors trained in nutrition who found that disease is contributed to significantly, or exacerbated by, nutritional deficiencies.
Every day, we need the following to sustain vibrant life and health:
Between 1940 and 1991... 1. Vegetables were depleted of: 76% of their copper, 49% of their sodium, 46% of their calcium, 27% of their iron, 24% of their magnesium, and 16% of their potassium. 2. Fruits were depleted of: 19% of their copper, 29% of their sodium, 16% of their calcium, 24% of their iron, 15% of their magnesium, and 22% of their potassium Even if your ageing digestive system would absorb them, they are simply not there. Are you absorbing your nutrition?
“...the average 70-year-old has only 20% of the beneficial enzymes available compared to a 20-year-old.”
•
Proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
•
13 or so Vitamins.
Facts:
•
20-60 Minerals (the number depends which scientist you believe).
•
•
12 or so Amino Acids.
Minerals are missing or severely deficient in the soil and hence the food. These minerals are critical co-factors for enzymes.
•
10 or so Fatty Acids.
•
•
6 or so Digestive Enzymes (from plants).
•
Oxygen.
All of the listed factors need to be in place, as they all work interactively or as co-factors to each other; any deficiency will result in a malfunction.
•
Pure Water.
•
Probiotics (the healthy bacteria that should be in your intestines).
You may have heard the glib statement that ‘as long as you eat a balanced diet, then you will get all of the nutrients you need’. To say that all of the above is in the average Western diet is plain crazy. Every single study for the past 75 years is showing a steady decline in nutrients in food (even organic foods).
For example, there are over 80 enzymes at work in your body that need zinc as a co-factor: 1. You simply do not eat enough vegetables every day (10-14 portions) to get the nutrition to regenerate your body. A list of vegetables and their content can be found on page 300. 2. As we get older, we do not absorb food from our digestive system as well as we did when we were younger. This is caused by: a.
Eating too many starch carbohydrates for convenience. These block the digestive system lining and kill friendly bacteria. They cause the digestive diseases that so many people suffer from.
b.
A lack of HCL (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach.
c.
A lack of digestive enzymes in food.
What your Doctor may not know about the so-called ‘balanced diet’: Nutritionist Dr. David Thomas gave the following findings on mineral depletion at a lecture (published in the Nutrition & Health, the Journal of the McCarrison Society for Nutrition & Health Vol 17:no 2, 2003):
