YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT…YES,YOU ARE!

We’ve all heard the statement, “You are what you eat.” It sounds so simple, and it probably gets overused. But there’s much more to it.

What you eat before you have children affects you, of course, but we now know it has a profound effect on the health of your children and even your grandchildren. This is the science of epigenetics, the medicine of the future.

What Is Epigenetics?

Epigenetics is the emerging science of how food and other aspects of your environment affect the expression of your genes. Until just a few years ago, science told us that to a large degree our health was determined by whether we inherited good genes or bad genes from our parents. But epigenetics has shown us that, although we inherit a specific genetic identity, how those genes are expressed in terms of wellness or illness is largely determined by what we eat and how we live.

In reality, less than 10 percent and probably as little as 2 or 3 percent of illnesses are due to our inherited genes. The other 90 to 98 percent is determined by how we live and what we choose to eat.

Although we now have an abundance of evidence that you can turn on good genes and turn off bad genes, I want to tell you about two specific studies that demonstrate the profound significance of that fact.

Francis Pottenger’s Cats

Gray Graham Pottenger's ProphecyIn the 1930s, Francis Pottenger, MD, made an observation about some cats that led him to undertake a multigenerational study of how changing the diets of cats affected the health of the cats.

It probably won’t surprise anyone to learn that when Pottenger changed the diet from what he called their optimal diet to one that was more processed, the cats were not as healthy. When he kept constant that same deficient diet, the next generation of kittens were even less healthy than their parents, and the third generation’s health was even more profoundly affected!

By the second generation, he observed that the once perfect cats now had narrowed faces, crooked teeth, fatty livers, enlarged hearts, social dysfunction, and even sexual dysfunction. By the third generation, the cats were no longer able to reproduce. Does this sound to any of you like what we’re seeing today in the United States? We are now three generations into a profound change in the American diet, and when you put it into the context of epigenetics, it is not turning out that well.

Swedish Epidemiological Study

The second study I would like to talk about is an epidemiological study that was conducted with historical data from a remote village in Northern Sweden. For centuries the inhabitants of Overkalix, a remote village, relied on their access to fish supplemented by crops such as potatoes and grains and farm animals such as pigs. Because these Swedes kept meticulous records of the successes and failures of their crops as well as the birth and death records of their residents, a Swedish epidemiologist and a British geneticist were able to show from that data that the abundance or scarcity of food particularly during the slow growth period (between 8 and 11 years of age for girls and 9 and 12 years of age for boys) of the inhabitants had a profound effect on the health of future generations.

The most startling conclusion was that when the children had access to an overabundance of high-glycemic foods, their grandchildren had significantly shorter lifespans — up to 31 years shorter. Furthermore, they more commonly died from heart disease and diabetes. With our extraordinary rates of heart disease and diabetes in the U.S. today, we just have to ask, “Are we now seeing the effects of the switch to a low fat, high carbohydrate, highly processed diet that we undertook three generations ago?” It’s definitely something to think about.

Looking at this data can be terrifying in the context of what we’ve done to our health and the health of our children, but here’s the good news. After the third generation of cats in his study could no longer reproduce, Pottenger reversed the diets of the degenerated cats and they could once again reproduce and have healthier kittens. Although it took several generations of a whole-food diet to restore the cats to their original perfection, they immediately started their journey back to health.

let’s get together and feel alright

OK everyone, my blog today is to encourage you to take a moment with yourself.

Yes, now.

Think about who you are.  How do you see yourself in this moment? What would you want to make different in this moment? Have you asked the Father above to help you in this moment? If not, take a few seconds and ask. Yes, it is that simple to request, but the harder part is to stay quiet long enough to listen. When you hear it, write it down.  Now, ponder it. Was it a simple, yes, or was there more to it? Do you need to ask more questions? Write down the answers. Begin the path to renewal within the gut voice talking to you. It is always correct. Your gut, your core, where the voice comes from, and where all the emotions and past junk or past joys are stored (not in the head are they stored, not at all…memories are completely different from emotions from those memories). Think on this little bit I have given you today, and I will have more for you tomorrow.

If any of this has stirred some “I need some health help, or a massage, or just want to get friends together for a class in cooking, bread making, simple herbal basics, natural remedy making, infant massage instruction, survival topics, or something else, just give me a call or message me for a free consultation (unless you are already my client), and we will blaze the trail.

Survival to-do-list

September Preppers To Do List

Sanitation

  1. Do a sanitation survey. Discover the answer to these questions:
    1. Do you have running water if the electricity is out? (If you have a well, chances are you do not)
    2. Does your toilet flush into a main sewer line or does it flush into a septic system?
    3. If your toilet flushes into a main sewer line, is there a valve that shuts your house off from the sewer line? If so, find out where it is and how to shut off the line to prevent back-up into your house.
  2. Get some disposables. Pick up 1 pack of paper plates, 1 pack of disposable utensils, and a pack of Lysol cleaning wipes. This will make clean-up easy during a short-term power/water outage.
  3. Find the nearest body of water where you could acquire a bucket full for flushing the toilet, or in a dire emergency, for purifying to drink. Is it within walking distance? Would it be accessible during an emergency? (Some folks would frown on people traipsing through their yards to get to the pond out back.)

Sustenance

  1. Begin saving empty 2-liter soda bottles. Rinse them out well, allow to air dry. Bottle caps can be run through the dishwasher, if you have one. These containers can be used to store dry foods of all types, from cornmeal to oatmeal to rice.
  2. Buy 1 package of oxygen absorbers from Amazon. Size: 50 cc. You will use one in each small size food storage container. See our oxygen absorber guide for more details.
  3. Look for the cheapest rice and beans you can find. Sometimes ethnic markets have the best deals. Buy as much as you can afford this week; you’ll be repackaging the food in the clean bottles with an oxygen absorber.

Survival

  1. Do a health assessment of each member of the family. Are there any issues, including dental, that need to be addressed? If possible, schedule an annual physical for each person to get even more information about what concerns, if any, should be taken care of. Prioritize these.
  2. Organize your gear. You probably already have numerous items around your house that are typically part of emergency supplies and bug out bags. This week, begin in one room and see how many of these items you can track down in drawers, cupboards, and other storage spaces. There’s no point in spending money on more duct tape, for example, if you already have 3 or 4 rolls scattered around the house and garage!
  3. Complete the 5-step threat assessment.

Shelter

  1. Put a plan in place for surviving in your home during a summer power outage. If you have elderly loved ones, anyone with chronic health issues, or a baby in the family, make plans to evacuate them elsewhere for the duration of a longer term power outage.
  2. Buy a battery powered fan…you’ll be so happy you did if you have a summer power outage.
  3. Do a home security assessment. Think like a criminal and try to figure out the weak points in your home security. Are your locks flimsy? Are there windows that would be easy to breach? Are there any neighbors of whom you’re suspicious? Take notes – we’ll use this later!

Security

  1. Do a walk-around your entire property. If you were a thief, is your home an inviting target? What can be seen through the windows? Are there obvious security issues you should address?
  2. Make copies of each family member’s birth certificates, marriage licenses, all insurance policies (auto, health, homeowners, renters, etc.) and the front and back of each credit and debit card. Refer to the Grab-n-Go Binder printable for a complete list.
  3. Buy a 3-hole punch if you don’t already own one! This one simple tool will make it much easier to keep your binder up to date.

Sanity

  1. You are doing the right thing! Don’t let people make you feel like you’re all doom and gloom. Read Daisy’s article, Prepping is the Ultimate Act of Optimism.
  2. Look for sanity-savers at yard sales and thrift stores. Hit the sales with your children in mind. (But not in tow – this is a grown-up excursion!) Pick up age-appropriate toys and books, and stash them away without letting the kids see what you got. Then, during a power outage or emergency, you’ll have a brand new (to them) stash of goodies to entertain your kiddos. Obviously, focus on toys that don’t require the grid to work.
  3. Take a walk. If you’re just getting started with fitness, do what you can do. Go for 15 minutes at a slow pace. If you’re in good shape, commit to walking 5 days a week. This is great for your mind and your body!

BAM! Healing at its best.

I have just recently had a powerful realization into the fact that we can see and help others through so much and never see it hitting us. BAM! it hit me. I crashed physically a couple weeks ago, and, through a week of process and counsel from human and spiritual means, health made an “about face” and was snuffed out to the core (literally). It was all done completely by core healing (4th chakra emotional releases) and mental “breathing”/listening; (there was physical cleansing, but it was because I was so shut down I could not eat, but only drink my food for three days). I will not go into the details, but it was a perfect example of liver, gut, core junk stemming from primary food alone (Primary food being things not on the plate). I have never experienced that before, only have seen it occur in others. It really makes an impression when one can truly release fear and anxiety and internal “holding” of past junk, and turn the physical body around in hours, immediately.

I could have been in the hospital using the medical testers, and they probably finding nothing wrong with me and at the same time arguing with them knowing I was in trouble because I could feel something was wrong and see signs all over me that something was wrong (bloated, yellow eyes, gray tongue, no appetite, etc.); I could have been paying loads of money to do so, and becoming worse in the process. I could have gone through unnecessary surgeries, tests, meds and more…YUCK!

I will add that I began the process, within that two weeks of “crashing”, to the point of the actual crash, with focusing on the herbal and food based healing. It was doing good, but it was not until the three days of releasing the core emotions that were locked up inside, that healing took the final destination in my body.

I am thankful for the truth to be revealed to me and that I having a listening ear to hear it. I want even more to help others hear it in themselves, more than I have already been doing all my life. I want you to be empowered and know that you know more than you every could imagine you know.

contact me and lets get some connections for you going.

Healing yourself and those around you part 1

FOOD IS BEING THROWN AWAY more than ever. We CAN, when people know what they are doing, plant and raise real food and keep the soil healthy! Even the organic stuff is being affected, but that can change.  We have guts that do not absorb well from the compromised, poor food we have been inflicted with. WE WANT TO BE ALIVE BUT WE EAT DEAD, TOXIC FOOD!

FIGHT TO KNOW!

I have lived a life of know only natural health and healing with food and with other modes of holistic healing and wellness.

I would like to encourage you to keep up with my web page here, my blogs, my Facebook page blogs, and also utilize other web pages and information such as listed below.  I have a lifetime of research I plan to put onto my web page, use in my live classes, and use in my daily client coaching and massage.  I would like you to encourage the youth to come into this world and learn all they can while they are young to avoid and prevent the things that can come up in later years.  I am an advocate for the youth being taught as I was and grow up with an approach to living that most have forgotten or know little about in this country of ours.

Again, below are just a few of the places you can grow and learn without being overwhelmed.  My sight will stay simple also, and link you to many connections to fit your own individual needs.

Let’s get healthy together!!  Let’s combat the growing number of mainstream health issues the pharmaceutical industry is not doing much for, except causing the populations to grow sicker.

Testimonials

Below are just couple of examples of how we can do things within ourselves. It is created in us to do so. Use it! I can help direct you to many ways to find the way for you, and your loved ones.

“My wife told me that she has a cyst on her right ovary and “it does not look good”. During her routine ultrasound it was discovered that she had a dermoid cyst. The doctor suggested surgery to remove the whole right ovary. He warned us that solid cysts do not go away and that my wife would need surgery. My wife saw an advanced John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release therapist the following day and subsequently completed 10 Myofascial Release sessions. When my wife had her second ultrasound performed, the cyst was completely gone! “No surgery” the doctor said. What a relief! Thank you John for bringing Myofascial Release to our lives!”

Then a friend told me about Cheryl. I had realized by then that the allopathic doctors I had been dealing with knew nothing about the healing of cancer. Wasting no time indulging in self-pity, I phoned Cheryl and after talking with her realised that I would have to do this myself. Cheryl immediately got me started on the Budwig protocol.

At first I never thought I would be able to do this protocol… but by October I could feel life returning to my body. I was able to walk normally again, most of the pain was gone and in November I went back to work. My oncologist reckons that I am a miracle – imagine that!! It was in fact simple work and dedication – I had to learn how to eat properly etc., but Cheryl trained my wife and myself and made it all easy and simple. We had to learn how to make sauerkraut, kefir, our own bread and sprout our own seeds [see Explanatory notes re kefir and sprouting], not to mention the juicing, correct foods and of course the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mix and sunlight(which I took in the nude to the extent possible) on a daily basis. I used the Eldi oil rubs we purchase from Germany as well as body brushing and a mini trampoline(rebounder) [to activate the lymphatic circulation] every day.

Primary Foods: Relationships

The article is so right on…It is the most correct of any thing anyone can ever say or advise. IT is the truth. It may feel awful or we may want to deny it all, but it is the truth. Health is not just what is going on with your body, or what is on your plate. The primary foods are relationships, spirituality, career, and physical activity. This article gets to the core and makes the point that it is only in true individuality that we figure things out and make things better. It cannot be done by anyone but the two involved. Each one has to come to the individual realizations and then reconnect. Once we regain this ability to take away expectations, not only will our relationships change, but our health as well. Be healthy.

 

Three kinds of expectations

It’s still the most surprising thing Becky has ever said to me.

“OK,” she declared. “I’ve decided to lower my expectations of you.”

Becky has a theory and after two decades together I’m convinced she’s right: Most conflict and unhappiness in relationships comes from three kinds of expectations.

Unreasonable

Sometimes our expectations are unreasonable. In the early days of our marriage Becky expected a certain standard of living but also expected me to be more available to her than I could be with a full-time job. I expected us to always have sex as often as we did on our honeymoon. We both find ourselves expecting too much from our kids today – a seven year-old is going to forget his coat at school sometimes. And it will be on the coldest day of the year. It’s just going to happen.

Sometimes the expectations we have for those we love are too lofty or misplaced entirely. Becky’s taught me to change, lower, or completely do away with those expectations that can bring resentment and frustration into our marriage.

Unclear

Sometimes our expectations are reasonable but not communicated well…or at all. A friend of mine recently blew up at his wife because she never initiates sex. At the same time, it turned out, his wife had been harboring resentment against him for never taking her out on a date.

Dates and sex and compliments and a day off and flowers and…and a lot of other good things just mean more to us if we don’t have to ask for them, right? We think that if someone really loves us, really cares, really understands us, then they’ll just know what we need. And we’re wrong. Love does not give us the super power to read minds.

How many expectations could be met if we would only communicate them clearly?

Unmet

Sometimes we get it right. Our expectations are reasonable and clear. But they’re still not being met.

Man, does that hurt. I feel devalued. I take it personally. I’ve learned from Becky’s example to clearly communicate that, too.

Unexpected

“I’ve decided to lower my expectations of you,” Becky said. What a gift that was! I no longer felt like a failure. I felt lighter. But I also wanted more than ever to be a better husband. I wanted to meet her expectations, no matter how high.

It’s still surprising how being expected to do less motivated me to do more. Maybe that’s just me. But maybe not. Maybe the people in your life will exceed your expectations, too, if you take the time to adjust your expectations of them first.
