The “nutritional science” of today’s technocrats is incomplete
What will folks think of our “nutritional science” a hundred years from now? Or in 2214? Or 2314?
Mark Twain didn’t say (but it’s a good quote anyway) …
“Be careful what you read in a health book. You might die of a misprint.”
(1) Scientists warned us that cholesterol was bad for us.
Now they call it “the great cholesterol myth.”
(2) Scientists told us that oxidative stress was a major cause of aging.
Now they tell us it’s a benefit to “dying young at a very old age.”
(3) Scientists advised us to take antioxidants.
Now they tell us they grow cancer.
(4) Scientists assured us that oxalic acid is a poison.
Now they say it prevents cancer.
(5) Scientists told us to avoid phytic acid and phytates.
Meanwhile, health food stores were selling it to us as a cancer cure under its other name – IP-6 (inositol hexakisphosphate).
(6) Scientists told us beta-carotene prevented cancer.
Now they swear that it causes cancer.
(7) Scientists advised us to supplement with quercetin.
Now we’re told it’s a carcinogen.
(8) Scientists advised supplementing with calcium to “build strong bones.”
At the same time they knew that supplemental calcium contributes to aging, arteriosclerosis, and “calcium metastasis.”
(9) Scientists advised us to avoid the tannins in tea.
So they changed the name “tannins” to “catechins” (e.g., EGCG), and now they magically prevent cancer.
(10) Scientists advised eating fewer calories to delay aging.
Now they tell us it only works if you’re a mouse.
(11) And regarding genetics and brain science, cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky said …
“What I think is that the gene counters don’t know what they’re doing, and, whatever you do, don’t read anything about genetics that’s published during your lifetime. The stuff has a very short half-life. The same with brain science.”
I knew most of the above decades ago.
That’s because I’m not a scientist. I’m not that “smart.”
I watch what very old people are doing to stay very healthy over a very long span of time.
And I eat ON TIME as well as IN TIME.
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said …
“In the Aquarian Cycle, you’ll take responsibility for your lifestyle.”

Fluoride can be excreted from the body by eating tamarind (or tamarind paste) at 9:00 a.m., followed by a large glass (or two) of distilled water.
10:00-11:00 a.m. is the optimum time to urinate fluorine out of the body.
Rice also facilitates fluoride excretion.

The link below illustrates a classic example of how egghead “scientists” view Mother Nature.
They want to flatten out biological rhythms and make them UNIFORM.
(Today’s politicians derive STABILITY directly from this non-rhythmic, anti-biological paradigm that is static, fixed, constant, unwavering, and invariable.)
Instead of being rhythmically awake and asleep, “scientists” want us to be half-awake and half-asleep.
They want our cortisol rhythm to flatten out, equalizing the trough and the crest of the wave, regarding the wave as an imposition solved by “better living through chemistry.”
Their test-tubular hubris makes them feel smarter than Mother Nature’s billions of years of evolution.
Any surfer could tell these jokers how to wake up and smell the coffee.
The statement, “One of the key principles of pharmacology is use a drug when it is needed,” is a built-in value-judgment common among Establishment chemists who hang out in fluorescent-lighted laboratories instead of sunlit fields and forests.
Imagine what would happen if a cardiologist eliminated a patient’s heart rate variability(HPV) by flattening it out.
It’s called FLATLINING.

hi Atom,
all the hype about Google NExus 7 3G Tablets and i am tempted to get one, but am worried about the wi-fi and using it too much. can mobiles and tablest like this be hazardous to or health even if they have low radiation??
Cheers,

Suzy (my Significant Other) and I avoid Wi-Fi as much as possible until more data us available.
Optimum immunity offers protection against noxious influences, but we’re still being cautious.
I’m not too concerned about Wi-Fi, yet I haven’t even picked up my cell phone since August. :)
Magda Havas seems to know a lot about Wi-Fi radiation (although I haven’t thoroughly studied her research) …

I’m “in the middle of the road” when it comes to Wi-Fi.

what do you know about agave? i purchased a bottle and it gives me some kind of instant selfworth. so much i’m cautious of it. i wonder if it being a succulent triggers some genetic memory in me. i was big on the p-e-delic type of cacti and somewhat traumatized. a case of spontaneous initiation so to speak.

Just be careful it really IS agave syrup.
Otherwise, the only thing I’ve got against agave is it comes in a plastic bottle.
I walk big circles around plastic.
I’d try some – at night – if I could find some local agave in a glass bottle.
Agave – in time and on time – is high in fructose to enhance sexual potency and fertility, despite what the fear-mongers are currently claiming.

thanks for the info on Wi-Fi, Amazon has sent the device to me even when it said i could cancel it:)
just wanted to ask a few things on my mind, Vitamin D3 from Garden of Life looks quite good and Organic, not irradiated, any thoughts?
what is the story on Raw milk and can you share what time to use it and what can it do? i found out a local farmer is selling it in my area and i love milk but i think the shop milk is poisoning me… all the bEst and Much Love… Martin

Ask Garden of Life where they buy “their” vitamin D.
Most “vegetarian” vitamin D is made from genetically manipulated yeast acting on lanolin and exposed to light.
The FDA allows companies to call their GMO products “natural” to encourage their corporate use.
GMO vitamins and supplements are cheaper to “manufacture” than “synthetic” vitamins.
Suzy (my Significant Other) and I don’t drink raw milk because of the lactic acid, but we drink raw cream and eat raw butter and cheese.
We buy these dairy products at our local farmers’ market in Santa Barbara. :)
Anything over 800 I.U. of vitamin D takes calcium OUT of bone.
Anything over 1,000 I.U. poses various chronic health dangers.
There doesn’t seem to be any acute health dangers. Sometimes as much as 50,000 I.U. of vitamin D is prescribed for short periods of time only.

also great advice on the inorganic metals. i started supplementing with elemental chunks bought on ebay a while ago. works a whole lot better than so called supplements + no fillers and fraction of the cost. luv ya
November 10, 2013 @ 1:06 pm atomb
I was referring to inorganic minerals in water.
Be careful. Don’t try to compete with Mr. Eats-It-All. ;)

i’m big on exploring neurosis :)
