In the last blog I introduced the movie The Beautiful Truth. Today I just want to clarify something due to the fact that there is a discrepancy in the movie. They praise Dr. Westin Price, DDS, but then they go on to advocate a vegan diet as the cure. Despite this contradiction, there are a lot of great truths in the movie. I also want everyone in the world to know that I am NOT a VEGAN! For some reason people like to assume that I'm vegan.
It's great that Dr. Gerson cured so many people of cancer on a vegan diet. It's obvious if you have cancer that detoxification would be part of regime and a vegan diet would be great at facilitating this. However, many people have also recovered from chronic illness with a Paleolithic Healthsyle (a way of eating that does include animal protein). This way of eating allows you to have the best of everything that's raw, cooked and nutritious, therefore helping with detoxification as well as also getting what helps you optimally regenerate (animal protein). Dr. Price's research is like timeless precious gems that never go out of style or significance! His famous book is called Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. It may be a hard read for some but the information will stick with you and be true for a life time and your health will prove it.
Being healthy has become so trendy. This sounds like a good thing since being responsible for your health is one of the best things you can do. Just remember that with anything trendy there's bound to be a lot of counterfeits. A lot of people are raving about the China Study, a study that testifies a diet free in animal protein is the one that has the most significance in humans being cancer free. This does not agree with what Dr. Price found. However, when you look at the hard evidence and realize that there were a lot of factors that the China Study didn't even consider and see that see that Dr. Price found the same concordant information with all of the different indigenous cultures he studied, then you may see that this way of living is the common thread of disease free health and vitality for humanity.
Another way to find what is true for you is try both kinds of diet and see which one gives you the greatest sense of health and well being. Try it for no less than 90 days and possibly as long as a year before you come to a final decision, since starting something new often has side effects. For example you may first go through a cycle of detoxification before you can tell the real effects. I did this with many different kinds of eating belief systems and I ultimately felt the most resonance being PALEO.
Ultimately, scrutinize everything you read and hear since all that's labeled healthy is necessarily so.
All of this talk about diet is more like yoga and food to me. Find PEACE with what you eat and life will be so much kinder to you!
