Perfect and Piper:
Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you, both, for extraordinary reads. Truly food for thought, no pun intended. |

Wow! I did not know that about oils. I use plenty of extra virgin olive oil. I thought I was doing a good thing because I had all but completely cut out butter. What you say makes sense. I'm going to start substituting legumes for pasta. My biggest hurdle is going to be cooking them. I like to coo and have plenty of ways to cook pasta, but I have no variety when it comes to prepping legumes. Thank you! |

Most Americans are sedentary and are not outside at "solar noon" when the proportion of healthy sunlight is high and momentarily outweighs the negative of unhealthy sunlight. You get them at the same time, just that the healthy rays dwindle the closer you get to sundown. There's actually an app called "D minder" that plugs in your location and send you an alert when you should step out for 15 minutes or so sunlight. Lay off the orange juice if you spend a lot time in the sun by the way (topic for another day). And by the way, sunlight is by far the most important healthy activity you can participate in without spending any money. Vitamin D is actually a hormone that is crucial in repairing every major tissue of your body, from bone healthy to eyesight and everything in between. This is a big reason why seniors deteriorate in nursing homes as they spend days on end in sunless rooms. Even with my bed bound father we position the hospital bed he has at home near the window and remove the blankets so he can get some rays at noon. You simply cannot address the vitamin D deficiency with food... it has to be sunlight. Whole milk may only provide hundreds of units when an older person will need thousands of units a day as they age. Each day without the minimum amount of vitamin D the harder the organs have to work to keep up. Long story short unless you are very physically active, have a healthy weight, and get a healthy dose of sunlight regularly, use the olive oil sparingly. Eat olives instead, fiber and all. For the salad, if you have no digestive issues use vinegar instead. olives and vinegar thats a good non-inflamatory mix. As for the beans, just get the canned. There are so many varieties and every one is healthy because fiber, protein and antioxidants at less than $2 bucks is not possible in any other food. Open the cans, rinse the beans well, toss them in an electric pressure cooker. add some chopped garlic, onions, italian parsley, maybe a small amount of ginger, add a cup or two of purified water (tastes better), some vegetable broth maybe, close the lid, hit the digital button to high pressure, close the escape valve on the lid and set it for 10 minutes. The flavorings will soak into the beans under pressure much better than in saucepan. Once its done carefully release the valve with a towel, open the lid and give the beans a final rinse to remove the lectins. You can get one of these electric cookers like the Instant Pot for like $50 on Amazon, Ebay or Walmart. Some work with an app that tell you how long to cook and what setting to use. There are an epic ton of videos on YouTube on how to cook every vegetable, meat, grain, pasta even cheesecake with the Instant Pot. I bought one about 6 years ago before they were really popular. The founder used to sell them by the dozens out of his car and now sells millions on Amazon. Every nationality of people use these to cook beans. By the way, At least one clinical study found that cultures that ate the most beans (as a major protein source with less emphasis on animal protein compared to infrequent bean eaters) had substantially greater longevity, as much as 10 years. my theory on that is less damage to your telomeres occur with less pesticide exposure. The telomeres to keep it simple are like the caps on your tires air valves. They keep your chromosomes in tact to fight off ageing and protection from disease. Some people with autoimmune diseases and skin issues do not break down the lectins found in the skin of beans and other vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant but steaming under high pressure and peeling these foods removes most of the lectins. Other people have the correct genetic code and can break down the lectins without it wreaking havoc in the gut thus avoiding leaky gut or wearing away of the healthy lining of the gut that supports your immune responses. |

I never said the diet I mentioned was meat based. You knew Dr. Gundry's doctrine spouted it line and verse throughout 3 commentaries. As far as being contrary to what a Oncologist should recommend. Not eating dietary grain is one of the #1 recommendations of Oncologists, not only because of the pesticide used, but also because of genetic modifications which are made to the grain to contain higher levels of Lectins which are a plant produced substance which is much like a pesticide. #2 stop eating processed sugars. # 3 stop eating processed oils. Never corn oil, soy oil vegetable oil. Pressed oils are better but should be limited as you stated. # 4 If you are eating animal protein, Which is a choice in the diet limited it to 4 oz., it should always be Grass fed(not grass finished), and again this removes the grain the animals eat out of the equation, reducing exposure to Lectin in the animals diet and pesticides, homone and antibiotic free. If eating legumes as you specified Pressure cook it and rinse. If eating squash tomatoes eggplant etc., always skin and remove all seeds(These are night shade plants which should only be eaten if properly prepared and highly limited by Cancer patients). I choose to grow my own tomatoes and process them on my own. As far as fruit goes sugars feed cancers, and newer varietys of fruit have also been genetically altered to contain higher levels of lectins, in the skins to prevent insect crop damage as well as higher sugar content. Not eating the skin or seed is a improvement but I choose to eliminate fruit as much as possible. So what can you eat just as your suggestion, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, leaf lettuce, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and many of the other things you also recommended. Nuts, olives, avocados, olive oil, avocado oil, legume properly prepared, tomatoes properly prepared, pretty much your play book. The choice is there to eat animal portion highly limited. At this point I choose to continue to eat meat. I will also say at this point I know the supplier of my dietary animal protein and I've been to their farms. When ever and where ever possible Organic is better, but if you don't know the source be wary. Last as you also stated and which is also covered is fasting. I eat 2 meals a day mostly vegetable, but I contiinue to choose 4 - 6 oz., animal based. In the end almost every point you made is in this book. A majority of them you incorporate into both your, and your fathers diet. By the way prayers to your father as a person who know all to well the course of this disease I feel for you and your family. Presonally It has taken me from some one able to Bike 30-40 miles in an evening to some one thankful to work 8 hours or walk a mile a couple times a week. |
Hi Particlewave,
Congratulations on a successful diet. I’m the opposite, I have to eat constantly to maintain weight. You’d think it would be great but I’m always hungry. Always spending on food out. A hassle. I sent you a PM. I have often miss them so I wanted to see if you’d seen it? Thanks, -J |
