Our modern, western diet has become one of highly chemicalized, fractioned, fake
products loosely referred to as "food."  Starting back in the latter part of the
nineteenth century with grains, the multi-billion dollar processed food industry has
grown to become what many holistically-minded individuals consider to the real
reason for so many modern, chronic diseases up to and including that dreaded "C"
word, cancer.

The main thing to remember here is to eat REAL FOOD. And yes, the title of my
upcoming book is The Real Food Diet. Real food means the whole, unadulterated,
toxin-free food items upon which our species evolved and which, according to Dr.
Schwarzbein, can be hunted, fished, dug, plucked or milked. Real food is nourishing
to the point where Hippocrates stated thousands of years ago: "Let thy food by thy
medicine and thy medicine, thy food." It's that simple.

In the 1930's, researcher and dentist Dr. Weston Price travelled the globe searching
out traditional peoples and diets. He found those who kept to their traditional diets
were far healthier, with better bone and dental occlusion, than those individuals who
forsook traditional diets for new-fangled Western diets consisting mainly of highly
processed, sugary foods. The SAD (Standard American Diet) resulted in serious
malocclusion and facial defomities. His book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,
is still considered seminal within the holistic nutritional field. Mary Enig, PhD, a
leading authority on fats, and Sally Fallon co-authored an equally seminal book,
Nourishing Traditions (for author's interview: www.mercola.
com/2003/mar/12/sally_fallon.htm), plus founded the Weston Price foundation.
Their website, www.westonaprice.org, contains a plethora of valuable information. It
is my personal belief that the Factor X of which Dr. Price spoke so highly, is none
other than newly discovered Omega 3 fatty acid.

Aside from being produced chemically and frequently genetically modified especially in
the cases of soy and corn, most modern food items have little to do with reality but
have been further chemicalized, devitalized and fractionated until there is little to no
resemblance to Real Food whatsoever. Of course most young people today may
never have even had Real Food in their lives but be familiar only with the Standard
American Diet which is indeed SAD.

It is always wise to take into consideration age, gender, activity-level and even ethnic
background when deciding which Real Foods are best for you as an individual, but in
general, work your personalized diet plan around these considerations which are a
very slimmed down version of Chapter Two, Book Three of Living Energetically.


Foods to eat . . .

  • WATER - Far too many people are simply dehydrated, not ill or dehydrated,
    not hungry. Our natural metabolic processes alone require a minimum of 8-10
    8-oz. glasses of pure water per day to function optimally. Some of this fluid
    may come from fruits, vegetables, soups, etc., but other fluids such as coffee
    and tea can be diuretic and actually increase our need for pure water. Pop,
    electrolyte drinks,and energy drinks are all highly acidic and chemicalized.
    Popular fruit drinks are the same but even freshly squeezed fruit juice is
    deleterious to the pancreas and can contribute to both obesity and diabetes.
    Pure water is it! For those used to taste in their water, pop an organic/herbal
    tea bag (like Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger) into your water jug or add
    the juice of one lemon. For more information on the necessity of water, visit
    www.watercure.com. And for awareness on what the addition of fluoride to our
    water supply can do, visit www.fluoridealert.org. For a good, portable water
    filter that removes everything including fluoride, visit www.waterwise-distillers.
    com. If you prefer a full, under-sink system, check out the RioFlow Complete 5-
    Stage Reverse Osmosis System, http http://h2odistributors.com/usro5-100-
    qc-38.asp. Be sure to "re-energize all distilled water either with Reiki (or other
    energetic means) or with Dynamite's Catalyst Water and add bio-available
    minerals with Elixir.

  • GO ORGANIC - The organic (or bio-dynamic and/or sustainable) aspect is
    very important. Not only will you avoid loads of nasty toxins, but studies are
    showing that organically grown produce (the ONLY kind available until the
    twentieth century!) contains far more nutrients than their agri-business
    counterparts, www.ota.com/organic/benefits/nutrition.html. However, do be
    aware of some of the big box "organic" foods available in chain stores.
    Frequently these can be quite marginal and are still shipped long distances
    thus decreasing their nutritional value while increasing their carbon footprint.
    Even if a food is labeled "organic", if it does not look healthy and glowing, walk
    right past it!
           If you do not or cannot grow your own organic produce, search for local
    CSA (Community Supported Agriculture - www.greenpeople.org/csa.htm)
    organic and/or bio-dynamic farms near you. These generally work on shares
    whereby a client/customer pays an annual fee (share) and then is enabled to
    purchase farm-fresh produce, frequently much of it is heirloom, at pick-up
    sites throughout the growing season; a few may offer home delivery for an
    additional fee.
          Many individuals have also found their local Farmers' Markets supply an
    excellent source of local, organic produce, as can some health food stores.
          If you are unable to find local sources, consider these national websites or
    search out your own: www.boxedgreens.com, www.farmfreshtoyou.com, or
    www.diamondorganics.com.
            
  • GO ALKALINE - A study reported on by the American Journal of Clinical
    Nutrition (March 2002) concluded that "a mild, systemic metabolic alkalosis,
    which results from a chronic net base-producing diet, is the natural and
    optimal state of humans." Many holistic practitioners believe that a diet
    consisting of 80% produce (alkaline or base) to 20% other (acid: most grains,
    legumes, nuts/seeds, animal products, etc.) provides the best pH or alkaline to
    acid ratio. However, it is my experience that each individual needs to come to
    their own balance which means for some, the ratio may be closer to 60:40.
           Regardle/ss, plenty of good, organic produce is essential for all to help
    maintain appropriate alkaline pH balance which is critical for bone health. One
    of the main ways in which the body buffers acid-forming foods is to take
    calcium from your bones and use it to neutralize the remnants of acid-forming
    foods. If your body is repeatedly forced to do this, your bones may be
    weakened.
            Most important is to avoid modern "foods" that are the highest
    contributors to the rampant osteoporosis this country is experiencing are the
    highly acidic:
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Soft drinks (pop)
  • Sugar
  • Cookies, cakes, and pastries made with white flour
  • Table salt (bleached white salt)
  • Alcohol
  • Coffee

  • GO RAINBOW - A simple way of obtaining the widest variety of nutrients
    (including phytochemicals which help build collagen for healthy bones and
    glowing skin), alkalising your body, and enjoying your minimum of seven
    servings of produce per day is to eat a rainbow. Choose a minimum of one
    fruit and vegetable from each of the seven color groupings:
  • Red - Lycopene, phytoene & phytofluene - Beets, raddichio, radishes, red
    lettuce, red onions, red peppers, tomatoes (fresh, dried, canned) - blood
    oranges, cherries, cranberries, pink/red grapefruit, persimmons,
    pomegranates, raspberries, red apples, rhubarb, strawberries, watermelon
    - red chili peppers, paprika
  • Orange - Cryptoxanthin, alpha- & beta-carotene - Carrots, fresh yellow
    corn, pumpkins, rutabagas, sweet potatoes, yellow/orange peppers, yellow
    squash, yellow/orange tomatoes - apricots, bananas, cantaloupe,
    mangoes, papaya, peaches, pears, tangerines - cinnamon, saffron
  • Orange/Yellow - Bioflavanoids - Grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges,
    nectarines, pineapples, tangerines, and other citrus – tumeric, cumin,
    ginger
  • Green/yellow - Lutein, chlorophyll, zeaxanthin - Artichokes, asparagus,
    avocado, beans, cucumbers, green beans, leafy greens (collards, endive,
    lettuce, mustard greens, spinach), peas, snow peas, zucchini - kiwi, green
    apples, green grapes - parsley & all green herbs, pepper grass, green tea
    etc.     
  • Green - Sulforaphane (cruciferous family) - Brussels sprouts, broccoli,
    fermented sauerkraut, green cabbage
  • Blue/Purple - Anthocyanin, flavonoids - Eggplant, red cabbage,
    rutabagas - blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, figs, plums/prunes,
    purple/red grapes
  • White - Allicin (the allium family) - Garlic, onions, etc. & hexose Jerusalem
    artichoke, jicama, kohlrabi, mushrooms, turnips, white potatoes - bananas
    - white peppercorns
    Eating varied produce daily helps make eating a tasty adventure while providing
    all of the known and unknown phyto-nutrients and such that are necessary for
    good health. See some produce specifics for each color at: www.exrx.
    net/Nutrition/ColorCodes.html
             This is easy if you make a green smoothie in morning with a banana,
    other fresh/frozen fruit (such as berries) and a handful of greens; have a
    hearty raw or cooked soup or salad for lunch, and include a variety of veggies
    with your dinner. To really blend those greens, a heavy-duty blender, like a
    VitaMix (www.drbenkim.com/vitamix-blender), is needed, although many have
    found the small sized Magic Bullet blender (www.buythebullet.com) to be just
    as effective and far more kind to both the average counter-top and checkbook.
            Or get a juicer and make some delicious fresh vegetable juices like your
    own Veg-8 juice (1 @ tomato, carrot, celery stalk, handful spinach (or kale
    leaf, etc), 1/2 red pepper, 1/4 cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped cabbage, & 1 green
    onion - or to spice it up, add seeded jalapeno) and many others I suggest in
    my Living Energetically book with many more upcoming in my Real Food Diet.
    We have found our Omega 8003 juicer (www.omegajuicers.com/8003_8005.
    html) which presses the juice from the veggies rather than by using centrifugal
    force which can heat it, to be very effective, quiet and easy to use and clean.
            In fact, fresh vegetable juices can be so powerful they are frequently
    used in cleansing fasts and even as a major part of some cancer therapies
    such as the Max Gerson, MD program (www.gerson.org). To read about how
    fresh vegetable juices can make an important contribution to health and
    healing, read my article concerning a person with Stage IV prostate cancer,
    Cancer Hope.
            
  • GO GRASS-FED ANIMAL PRODUCTS - At least some animal proteins and
    fats are vital for optimum health but there are vast differences in nutritional
    quality of meats, poultry, dairy, etc.
           Agribusiness animal products are loaded with toxins such as hormones,
    antibiotics, and all the chemicals in the feeds. Organic animals are far better
    since they receive only organic feeds and no hormones or antibiotics. However,
    free range animals are the closest to nature since they receive no grain. This is
    good because it is the grain feeding that changes their Omega 3 to 6 ratios
    from the beneficial 1:1 ratio to the harmful 1:20 to 1:50! This skewed ratio
    increases inflammation (only Omega 3's reduce inflammation) in the body
    turning the beneficial animal products from alkaline to acidic. www.
    texasgrassfedbeef.com/omega_3_fatty_acids.htm.
            You'll also find that ONLY animal sources of Omega 3's contain the long-
    chain, beneficial EPA & DHA fatty acids so necessary for the brains of geriatrics
    and children alike. In fact, insufficient amounts of EPA & DHA Omega 3 fatty
    acids in the diets of pregnant women result in premature birth, low birth
    weight, and hyperactivity in children. Human bodies require the animal-based
    forms while even the best plant sources (Chia is the best) contain only ALA,
    which, in excess, can actually exacerbate various forms of cancer. Most other
    vegetable fats (ie: vegetable oils) are very high in Omega 6 fats, the ones that
    lead to inflammation and, studies now show, various diseases, aging and even
    dementia.
            All the studies showing the harmfulness of animal products and fats are
    done with acidic agribusiness products rather than true traditional, alkaline
    pastured animals. An excellent source of red meat is bison but even some
    bison are feed-lot finished so make sure you purchase strictly pastured-only
    stock for bison, beef, and even chicken, eggs, and milk which should only be
    drunk raw. If you are unable to locate local sources (Vitamin Cottage stores
    carry some free-range meats) of free range products, some national, internet
    sources include:

For a number of superior articles concerning the difference between healthful and
unhealthful fats (plus much, much more!), see www.westonaprice.
org/knowyourfats/index.html.

  • GO RAW - Back when Dr. Weston Price was doing his research, Dr. Francis M.
    Pottenger, M.D. was also doing some research on raw diets (www.ppnf.org).
    His book, Pottenger's Cats, showed the relatively fast decline in breeding ability
    (among other criteria) of cats fed cooked diets. Now cats are obligate
    carnivores, but any animal, including chimps (did you know they hunt and eat
    animals?) who utilize animal protein, should heed his warning.
           Certainly humans evolved not only on fruits, herbs, and vegetables, but
    also on raw animal products. Prior to fire, they were thrilled to eat raw eggs
    when they found them, but also, when presented with the results of their
    hunting prowess, they devoured entrails and organs immediately (just like
    wolves) and sometimes "hung" haunches to ripen a bit. American Indians,
    along with most hunter-gatherer societies, gorged on fresh raw liver, heart,
    kidney fat and sometimes even eyeballs and brains. Since our bodies are all the
    same, we also require some raw meats/dairy; cooking destroys their enzyme
    values so they become indigestible with all the attendant ill-health we see
    today.  
            We also see good health happen when we feed our pets raw!
            Many "modern" people are aware of this. My 1960's mentor, Dr. Louisa
    Beatty, D.C., N.D. (widow of the famous Homer Beatty, N.D.), suggested
    adding 1-2 oz daily of half-thawed liver to my daily smoothies to a pregnant
    me. The difference in my energy level was astounding and very welcome.
    Contemporary studies with rats proved the addition of raw liver allowed them
    to swim something like 5 times longer than non-liver-fed rats. Dessicated liver
    was one of the whole food supplements heralded by J.I. Rodale, founder of
    Prevention Magazine.
            Another modern proponent of this RetroRaw diet is body builder Dawn
    Blacklidge (Kieba) who owns the Hawaiian Body Temple Boot Camp where she
    introduces all her campers to the raw food life-style. Her website is awesome
    and she has graciously allowed me to post a number of her most camper-
    enjoyed recipes - see her link above.  

  • GO FISH? - Every sort of sea life imaginable was traditionally the source for
    incredible nutrition. However today our seas are so polluted that eating
    seafood is a risky business indeed. So risky that the FDA itself has warned
    pregnant women about the mercury in tuna fish! However, while bottom
    dwellers, shellfish and most large fish are now dangerous, small fish such as
    anchovies, sardines, and even the wee little krill are still low enough on the
    food chain that not only do they not build dangerous levels of toxins, but they
    are extremely healthful and a superior source of healthful Omega 3's. The only
    larger fish that is safe is some wild salmon and the occasional river trout.
           A good source for uncontaminated fish is www.vitalchoice.com. If you're
    not eating at least 3 good servings of safe, fatty fish per week (or equally
    good pastured beef/bison), seriously consider taking Carlson's fish oil/cod liver
    oil/salmon oil capsules (or liquid) daily, Mercola's krill oil, or Dr. Ron's
    fermented fish oil. This will help your Omega 3 ratio plus supply your body with
    Vitamin D so necessary for bone health and so much in short supply today
    because of sun block and sun glasses.

  • NATURE'S SNACKS - We certainly need not turn to processed snacks, which
    have become the expensive, and unhealthful norm, when we understand that
    nature has provided us with perfect, wholesome and tasty snacks in the form
    of nuts and seeds. Add some dried berries or other dried (unsulfured only) or
    fresh fruit, and you have essentially a meal-replacing nutritious snack that can
    easily stave off hunger pangs by maintaining appropriate blood-sugar levels.
    Our favorite snack is a great trail mix made by mixing together equal-by-
    volume amounts of: almonds, walnut pieces, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds,
    dried blueberries, dried cranberries, dried currants/rainins, and finely shredded
    raw coconut. Mmmm, mmmm, good! One of the finest "snack" foods being
    rediscovered is the ancient chia seeds of the Aztecs. Read more about this
    amazing food here.

  • GRAINS & GLUTEN - Grains are a relatively recent addition to the human
    diet, and as such, in certain individuals, cause some problems. Usually it is the
    gluten that is the culprit and it is gluten that is behind so many allergies, food
    sensitivities, and digestive problems from Leaky Gut Syndrome      (http:
    //altmedicine.about.com/od/healthconditionsdisease/a/TestLeakyGut.htm) to
    outright Celiac Disease (www.celiac.com) and so very much in between. In fact,
    many researchers are now proposing that gluten toxicity and LGS are very
    much at the base of most modern disease states.
           Allan Spreen, M.D. offers this mnemonic device to help remember the
    four primary sources of gluten: BROW. That's Barley, Rye, Oat and Wheat. If
    you're gluten sensitive, give those four a wide berth. Many with gluten
    sensitivities also need to steer clear of modern dairy (but not necessarily raw
    from pastured cows) and even corn products.
            Unfortunately, gluten is contained within a host of processed foods and
    other items making it extremely difficult to avoid if eating the Standard
    American Diet. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF), ingredients
    that may tip off hidden gluten content include:
  • Unidentified starch
  • Modified food starch
  • Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP)
  • Hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP)
  • Texturized vegetable protein (TVP)
  • Malt and other natural flavorings
  • Binders, fillers, excipients, extenders (This includes certain dietary
    supplements and medications that use binders and fillers which is why
    you sometimes see the statement "no binders or fillers" printed on
    supplement containers.)
          However, many whole grains without gluten can provide some great
    nutrition, necessary fiber and provide good taste besides. We choose to eat
    mainly the heirloom grains such as millet, quinoa, buckwheat,amaranth,
    rice/wild rice, and use arrowroot for thickening rather than cornstarch. These
    all also have the benefit of being alkaline rather than acidic such as the ever-
    present wheat (including durum, semolina, kamut, spelt, and triticale) and corn
    found in one form or another in almost every single processed product.
            The ancient art of sprouting grains before using lessens their deleterious
    impact on metabolism amazingly with most individuals; it's so easy, you can do
    it yourself using only organic whole grains. Best is to consume sprouted grains
    raw in salads/pilafs or even as a nutritious morning cereal with fruits and
    nuts/seeds. The best way to cook grains is to cover with fresh water after
    soaking/draining by about 2+", bring to a slow, rolling boil, cover and turn off
    the heat. Your grain will be ready to eat in about an hour with no harm to the
    nutrient value.
            A good source for sprouted grain products and yeast and/or gluten-free
    baked goods is Food For Life Baking Co, www.foodforlife.com.

  • LUSCIOUS LEGUMES - The title of a chapter in my upcoming book, legumes
    are indeed luscious and healthful (containing loads of phytonutrients and
    fiber). This inexpensive gold mine can be used as snacks (as in roast chickpeas
    or various bean dips), salads (taco salad for one), main dishes (a plethora of
    soups, stews & chilis), sprouts for salads/wraps, and even dessert (see my
    Blender Black Bean Brownies in the May 2007 Newsletter). Because legumes
    require a certain amount of processing to make them edible, many of us keep
    some good, organic canned beans such as provided by Eden (www.edenfoods.
    com) on hand for ease of use.
           For those who wish to purchase delicious and unique dried, organic,
    heirloom beans capable of being sprouted (talk about a survival food!), visit
    www.ranchogordo.com. If you use the dried beans, be sure you always soak
    them overnight and pour off the soaking water before cooking (or sprouting);
    this negates potentially harmful phytates and also reduces the gas-producing
    side-effect so well known with beans. Beans also have the ability to maintain
    blood sugar levels so are very helpful for diabetics.
            Sprouting beans is also possible although I've had the best success with
    lentils which are simply delicious!
.
  • HEALTHY DIGESTION - A healthy gut is considered by many holistic health
    care practitioners to be a major factor in good health. It is the beneficial
    bacterial colonies in our intestines which complete digestion and which produce
    so many necessary nutrients such as B vitamins. Unfortunately, aside from
    laxatives, ant-acids and their ilk are the most highly prescribed and OTC (over-
    the-counter) drugs requested, followed closely by headache remedies. Most of
    these drugs would no longer be necessary if we were toxin-free and supported
    our digestive tracts the way folks have from early on: with friendly bacteria.
           The culture, or fermentation, of dairy and vegetables was discovered not
    only to preserve these foods for long winters, but also to keep the digestive
    tract healthy which also kept the immune system healthy and strong. I just
    wonder if we still consumed real cultured (as opposed to the processed
    imitations commonly available) raw dairy (kefir & raw milk cheeses), various
    vegetables (sauerkraut & kim chee), fruits (cultured chutney) and even grains
    (sourdough), if we'd still be worried about e-coli and other common modern
    micro-organisms which are causing so much distress today.
            For more information on their general efficacy, see www.westonaprice.
    org/foodfeatures/lacto.html. The most comprehensive site on kefir and the
    myriad products that can be made from the "grains", see http://users.chariot.
    net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html. Good yogurt cultures are available from your local
    health food store.


Foods to avoid . . .

  • All processed foods (including "organic" varieties - they are still fractionated!)
    except perhaps for some canned organic beans or frozen organic vegetables
    and fruits. Even most processed foods from the health food store have very
    little food value, if any, for the amount you pay.

  • All white flour and white sugar products which includes most breads,
    cereals, flours, etc. with which most Americans fill their grocery carts.

  • Most vegetable oils. All are high in Omega 6 which leads to inflammation, and
    most are highly chemicalized in their extraction process and/or from genetically
    modified sources such as canola oil. [The only safe oils are cold-pressed
    organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, walnut oil (excellent as a salad dressing),
    macadamia nut oil and avocado oil for cooking, and the best of all for
    cooking, coconut oil. Dr. Joseph Mercola is currently suggesting Fresh Shores
    coconut oil. For more information, see www.mercola.
    com/products/coconut_oil.htm.]

  • All so-called "lite" or "diet" foods, especially those with artificial sweeteners
    or meat substitutes. They don't work ... as a nation, we're even fatter than
    before these became so popular, plus they load our systems with chemical
    toxins.

  • All pop, canned or bottled juices, juice drinks, even popular electrolyte
    or energy drinks; all are loaded with chemicals, sugars and, in the case of the
    last, possibly even more caffeine than pop. Health food store juices have been
    pasteurized in order to bottle them which destroys their value.

  • Most fast-food and restaurant fare since that is all agri-business grown and
    frequently loaded with additives including MSG and preservatives on the salad
    making.  

  • Pasteurized, homogenized dairy products even if "organically" grown.
    The destruction of the enzymes during pasteurization and the fats during
    homogenization renders dairy indigestible and worse than worthless. [Raw
    dairy products from pastured-only animals are an entirely different situation
    being quite healthful to the point that even those with milk allergies can
    frequently consume them and even those with lactose intolerance can
    consume Omega 3 rich raw butter, cheese and cream.]


Ideally . . .

You'd grow your own produce and eat it fresh from your garden.

You'd grow your own animal products on natural fields and eat their products with
blessings and thankfulness.

Of course that is an absolute pipe dream for most but there is a wide variety of truly
Real Foods available via the internet if you cannot locate local sources.

Hopefully you will read my book, Living Energetically, to gain many more ideas about
Real Foods (plus dozens of other subjects including alternative health care). Please
keep checking back to also purchase my upcoming book, The Real Food Diet, which I
hope to have available by the end of 2008.


Supplements

Many individuals still insist we need no supplementation. I disagree unless you are
consuming an all-raw, organic, grass-fed diet! Are you? But even with an optimum
diet, most foods are still deficient in nutrients because our soils are deficient in
nutrients.

The very best general supplementation I have discovered is to eat concentrated
"super foods" that still retain life vitality. Some examples include:

  • Freshly-pressed organically vegetable juices (with lots of greens in them) or
    even some of the "greens" powders such as Dr. Ben Kim's Greens. One way to
    take his greens is with his Green Sea Smoothie consisting of a handful or two of
    frozen, sliced bananas, 1 teaspoon each his Greens powder and his Acerola
    cherry powder, and enough milk of your choice to make the smoothie to your
    favorite consistency. Home-grown sprouted seeds/beans also contain high
    amounts of super nutrition and can be grown for pennies. Another terrific
    option offered in capsules is Dr. Ron's Pure Synergy.

  • To increase the antioxidant qualities supplied by the greens, eat dried berries
    that are available all year. The drying concentrates their beneficial properties. No
    need for expensive imported berries and magical juices that are the current fad.
    Our own organically-grown American blueberries and cranberries are among the
    best anti-oxidants available. Apricots are another powerhouse but be sure to
    get those unsulfured.

  • Powdered medicinal mushroom blends can also help increase the immune system
    naturally even when confronted with various serious diseases. One excellent
    source is www.mushroomscience.com, another is www.fungus.com, while a
    super tincture is available from www.waiora.com. www.drrons.com supplements
    also offers powdered mushrooms to be used as a concentrated food. Do be
    aware that some people are allergic to mushrooms, just as to almost any food
    item, so care must be taken.

  • Cod liver oil such as Carlson's (available in most health food stores or go to
    www.carlsonlabs.com), antarctic krill oil (as suggested by Dr.Joseph Mercola,
    www.mercola.com), or Blue Ice fermented cod liver oil capsules available from
    www.drrons.com supplements, for the tremendous benefits of the Omega 3's
    EPA & DHA which are not available in plant sources which contain only ALA, but
    which are available in wild or grass-fed-only cattle, bison, elk, deer, etc..

  • Someone suffering from anemia or low B12 (such as long term vegans, and
    actually, most of us) might consider taking some Carlson's dessicated raw free-
    range buffalo liver which contains the whole B spectrum. This is available in most
    health food stores or go to their website, www.carlsonlabs.com. For those
    serious about gaining the most value from a mix of pastured-only organs, try
    Organ Delight from www.drrons.com/organ-delight-traditional-superfood.htm.

  • Aside from these, and other suggestions you'll find in my upcoming book The
    Real Food Diet, we have found the Dynamite supplements to be absolutely the
    best ever.


But nutrition is just the start . . .

As important as good nutrition is, there are a multitude of other factors that need
awareness on our part. Appropriate breathing (yes!), exercise and traditional healing
methods (as opposed to the new fangled drug culture methodology) are some of
the subjects I teach about in my book Living Energetically. Here are a few of the
