I pulled this particular video by Dr. Greger of his presentation on the leading causes of death to illustrate his style and methodology and because it illustrates the absolutely stunning power of the plant based diet in major disease prevention and cure. His team's approach is to continually review all current health and nutrition research worldwide, condense it and present the latest results to the public on a non-profit basis. This video also illustrates his popular and humorous presentation style.<br /> <br />http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/<br /><br />Qmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596708332568087278.post-27015284357855908742014-12-02T23:03:53.180-05:002014-12-02T23:03:53.180-05:00Well, not "ignoring" exactly. There has ...Well, not "ignoring" exactly. There has to be a certain amount of rhetoric in most personal stuff that gets used by way of illustration. That said, I actually had a nasty virus for the past couple of weeks, so your goodwill is appreciated, Qman, as are the links you mention. I'm actually a lot better at taking care of this "temple" than I was as a youngster, and much of what is mentioned there comprises part of my regimen. I'm increasingly careful about how much meat I consume, for instance. I'm also a veggie and fruit fan wherever possible and believe in moderation (and some natural supplements). Still, sometimes mornings are rough. Glad if your discoveries are working wonders though.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346761712248157930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596708332568087278.post-67842953725272617202014-12-02T18:43:27.961-05:002014-12-02T18:43:27.961-05:00Hmm, aren't you ignoring perhaps that God seem...Hmm, aren't you ignoring perhaps that God seems to prefer to get his message mostly across from your fellow human beings?<br /><br />So, here it is. Relief from creakiness, old age, and most other ailments. Read the book or watch the movie "Forks over Knifes" (free on Netflix). THE MATERIAL BELOW IS NOT A FAD incompetent or dishonest. It is often strongly opposed by special interests like the dairy, pork, poultry, beef interests and their allies (which may unfortunately, even include your lobby infested government).<br /><br />http://www.forksoverknives.com/<br /><br />Also get a hold of "The China Study",<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Study<br /><br />Also, here is the latest on coffee, not bad.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-greger-md/coffee-health-benefits-live-longer_b_1523477.html<br /><br />Btw, all of my extended family, which includes a cardiologist, follow Dr. M. Greger and subscribe to his blogs, I would recommend it. He, and his research team for free, disseminates the most objective, informative, and latest research on dietary health topics you can get. He is not, shall we say, in the business of promoting himself in a somewhat questionable manner like, e.g., Dr. Oz. <br /><br />http://www.drgreger.org/<br /><br />My, and my family's personal experience? The above, high powered and honest, medical experts are right on. Within 6 months all our statistics, as they predict, dropped into the acceptable to optimum range after adopting the recommended lifestyle. This means cholesterol, pre-diabetes/sugar, weight, blood pressure as determined by your GP's standard blood test. The cardiologist in our family, part of a group, finally adopted this strategy and recommended this to his patients (as compared to his fellow doctors). Becoming odd man out in his group took some courage. He is now the only one having his patients come back after 6 months thanking him in glowing terms and being taken off their meds, to the chagrin of his colleagues, who are now also starting to adopt and emphasize the dietary approach to heart and cardiovascular health.<br /><br />My additional comment: Beware of those, especially in the news on TV giving you a pseudo and distorted way, of implementing diet. The above material is the real thing.<br /><br />Let's talk again after you get uncreaky :-).<br />Qmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596708332568087278.post-87960127649514527372014-12-02T12:39:18.086-05:002014-12-02T12:39:18.086-05:00Yes indeed Richard - get a cat.
This brings to mi...Yes indeed Richard - get a cat.<br /><br />This brings to mind a discussion with a good friend who asked me about my own belief. We both agreed that there was for us a single point int time that brought us to salvation. From our perspective there was a trigger of sorts - some new realization, an insight, a shared bit of wisdom - almost anything - and in that single moment a number of other things coalesced and doubt become faith, questions become trust, dark became light and lost became found. To us, it was a single event, a trigger of sorts, that began our journey as Christians.<br /><br />If, in a moment after that moment, you had managed to show me that my new insight was wrong as a matter of science or fact, that might perhaps have destroyed me. If you could have taken the one thing, the trigger, the event that pushed me over the edge to belief in a loving God, you might have seen me recant a moment later.<br /><br />But he and I both agreed that our belief was no longer predicated on a single thing or a single event. Rather we both found that over the course of the years, God had become more real in many, many, many ways. Neither of us now believe for one reason, we believe for thousands of reasons. <br /><br />So dear doubters - feel free to assault whatever Christian truth you wish with your breathless pronouncements of the latest quasi-science that "destroys the foundations of faith". The destructive force of these things is always overpromised and inevitably underdelivers. But even if you could erase a single Christian truth, thousands of accrued moments remain that prove the faithfulness and the truth of God in my own life.That sort of "proof" never would convince a skeptic I suppose - but it is utterly convincing to those who believe. <br /><br />The hymnwriter puts it this way:<br /><br />We search the starlit milky way <br />A million worlds in rhythmic sway <br />Yet in our blindness some will say <br />There is no God controlling <br /><br />We probe the atoms for their cause <br />Explore the earth for nature's laws <br />Yet seldom in our searching pause <br />To think of God controlling <br /><br />But as I grope from sphere to sphere <br />New wonders crowd the eye the ear <br />My faith grows firmer every year <br />My God is there controlling <br /><br />Each flash of fact from out of the night <br />Each burst of truth upon my sight <br />That quickens awe or adds delight <br />Reveals my God controlling <br />Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964708678887990251noreply@blogger.com
