One of the first things I discovered in my research
as soon as I was diagnosed is that
there are many, many people who, in addition
to whatever allopathic medicine
they're taking from their standard Western doctors,
are actually employing a lot of other strategies
to work with cancer.
And one of those strategies, kind of a main
trunk of those strategies among many,
many people who tackle cancer
or other metabolic diseases has
been a Whole Foods plant based diet.
And I have found that that particular step
has made a huge difference for me and my sense
of well-being and
my ability to get to a
start approaching a more normal body weight,
regain some sense of health and wellness.
And go through the treatments initially
that I was taking early on without
as much as.
Fear about what those treatments would do
to my body long term.
I'll be talking more about this in the
seminar webinar that I'm going to be giving next week.
But to put it very simply, there's
a mountain.
Absolute mountain of evidence
that human beings eating Whole Foods
plant based diet can
avoid almost all of the metabolic
disorders that are plaguing modern life.
Heart, heart disease, diabetes,
arthritis, lupus,
asthma, anxiety,
even mental health problems.
Autistic people also are
benefiting from this.
It turns out that a nutrient dense diet,
which can only come from being focused
mainly on fruits and vegetables and whole grains
and nuts and seeds, that that kind
of diet that takes away meat,
eggs and dairy and
processed food is really, really
powerful in restoring health
and allowing people to live to a healthy,
healthy old age, to live in to old age with health and vigor.
And I have
embraced this fully and completely,
and I will be talking more about it.
It sounds like a difficult thing to do when
you first look at it.
And perhaps if I did not have
a condition that required me to
address an illness, then I might
have been less motivated
to investigate this because I certainly certainly
wasn't a new idea.
But I don't think it requires
having the gun to your head of heart disease or diabetes
or cancer to be able to embrace this way of life.
Because once I started doing it,
I found out it's much easier and
I know a lot more fun and a lot
more satisfying than any
other way that I've eaten in the past.
So if you're not sick or
if you've just started to have the markers
of becoming sick.
This way of eating can really
do a 180 and turn you back around.
And I'll be talking more about that in the webinar.
But Whole Foods plant based diet
means not eating processed
food, not eating things that never go bad
or can't rot or can live in your cupboards
for months and months and months and still be edible.
Not eating white processed
things like white, processed flowers, white, processed
sugars, any food that's
more chemicals and more stripped down to its chemicals
basis, then kind of how it would naturally
arrive to you from nature is not what you want to be doing.
And there is an astounding
variety of fruits and vegetables.
And the great thing is that this diet as a lot
of carbs in it, a lot of starches.
And those of you who have been following the news
in the media about low carb diets and keto diets.
The evidence is not on the side
of those diets.
And in particular, Whole Foods plant
based diets are actually very pro-environmental.
So if you have any interest in the pollution
that's been destroying our environment
and causing these extreme weather conditions
and other situations that are getting more and
more dire by the decade,
the animal manufacturing
industry for animal food,
for food animals as food
is not only responsible for more
pollution on the planet than
any or all of the transportation
pollution put together.
So animal production creates more pollution
and CO2 emissions than all of the transportation
industries put together.
But it also
is responsible for a tremendous dive
in the human health population.
We are having skyrocketing
diabetes and heart disease and cancer
all over the world that has this
processed diet that's filled with meat and dairy
and cheese and excess of those things.
And the Whole Foods plant based diet
is a way to redress the health
concerns and take away
a lot of the environmental
damage that's being done by these industries
and restore your ability
to manage and influence
and treat your body.Back to you.
Give you that control back.
So I cannot recommend this
way of eating enough.
And the people who have been
promoting the Kito diet, most
of the research in that area
is funded by the meat industry, dairy
industry, the egg industry.
So it's quite suspect, whereas the research
that demonstrates the benefits of plant based diet
is either largely publicly funded
or funded by charitable organizations or individuals.
And so there's not quite that same axe to grind.
I'll be listing a lot of different resources in the note
here on the page that you can look at.
But overall, if you were to
embrace a 30 day challenge of doing
a Whole Foods plant based diet,
you would find an immediate result in your
cholesterol and your blood sugar
and all those kinds of things.
Now, in addition to Whole Foods plant based,
I also eat absolutely no sugar of any kind.
And that's specific to cancer,
because cancer does thrive
in a diet that's enhanced with sugars.
And so the only sugar that I
consume is whatever comes in the fruit.
I eat.
And for now, that has been mostly tart fruit.
I don't seek out very sweet fruit at all.
And so that has been my strategy.
And I'll be discussing that again in the webinar
and recording that webinar.
And then post that recording here as well.
But if you are interested, check out the links
below for what you
can go find out about it.
And also, I have listed the movies
on Netflix that you can watch that will
help you educate yourself about this way of eating.
Additionally, we are sitting here in
a time of great difficulty
because of the coded virus.
And you should be aware that almost all
of these flus, in fact, all not almost all, but
all of these pandemics.
From Merv's to TSAs
to the 1918
swine flu to all of these pandemics have all
been caused by
crowded conditions in animal production
facilities and the disease
that animals get when they're kept in inhumane and
crowded conditions being passed to the human
workers who process those animals for food.
So the animal food production
industry is also responsible for
all of these pandemics that
go around the globe and affect
us in particular like the one we're under now.
Lastly, there is no better diet
than a nutritionally dense diet to
boost your immune system to the max.
And cancer in particular is a disease
in which the immune system has been compromised.
I don't know if you realize this, but there are cancer cells
floating through our bodies all the time
and the immune system finds them and knocks
them out and kills them off.
And the reality is that once your
immune system becomes compromised for some length
of time, you will
likely wind up with some sort
of metabolic disorder, whether it's lupus
or rheumatoid arthritis or cancer
or one of these other things that doesn't have
the apparatus and say diabetes or heart disease.
And so these metabolic disorders definitely
compromise the immune system and a Whole Foods plant based diet.
It's fantastic.
And the only really natural in your in
your control, cheap, fast way.
That's not pill or chemical based.
Well, of course, chemical based, everything has chemicals, but
that's not a manufactured chemical based
to restore your immune system and keep
it strong and make it as robust
and healthy as possible.
And so that's the final reason why I
would recommend this diet to anyone.
There are a lot of concerns people have about protein,
but all plant foods have protein in them.
And if you're eating a diet comprised almost completely
from fruits and vegetables and grains and nuts and
seeds, then you will be getting plenty of protein.
There is no shortage of protein.
The last thing that you do want to do is take
a B12 supplement.
And what has happened in the last hundred years is
that with the advent of factory farming
and all the chemicals that we spray on our food
and all the things that we do to denude the soil
where we farm with these giant agricultural
companies, the B12 that used
to be in our food from the soil has
all been taken out of the soil or polluted
away or rent the way from runoff.
And so our food no longer has
dirt on it that we used to eat and get B12
and it no longer can take B12 from
the ground because we have so denuded
and impoverished the soil with factory
farming all over the world.
So B12 supplements now are necessary
and they're also necessary.
People who eat meat may not have
a deficit as as obvious
or may not may not have as little.
But even the animals that used to eat the grass
that had the B12 in it, even they do
not have the same amount of B12 that they used to.
So even people who do eat meat probably need
a B12 supplement.
So that's the human impact
on the soil has created a thing and B12
is created by micro bacteria
in the soil.
And we've been killing off those bacteria with
GMO is in
sprays and all kinds of things.
And so not only do we not get those
B-12 vitamins from the ground anymore,
but the animals that are eating the grass don't
either because they're not fed natural grass
from pastures.
And even if you eat pasture fed meat,
you're still there's still an impoverishment.
Still, the soil has all been so damaged
by our factory farming practices
that B12 no longer comes to us through our food.
So you need a supplement for that.
Most people need a supplement for vitamin
D because we simply are not spending enough
time outdoors without sunglasses and without sunblock.
In order for your body to make vitamin D.
You need direct exposure to U.V.
rays in the sunlight, on your skin
and through your eyes.
And we just don't do that anymore.
A lot of it scares about skin cancer.
A lot of it is just that we're becoming indoor cats.
And even when we go outside, we wear sunglasses and UVB protection.
And so we're not able to access
the apparatus in our bodies that make vitamin D as readily or soften.
So a vitamin D supplement is often necessary.
And this is, you know.
Generally true for people who eat meat as well.
It's not just vegetarians or vegan to have that limit.
Finally, the dangers of eating meat and
eggs and cheese
are unequivocal and difficult to
disprove.
Despite millions and millions and millions of dollars
being pumped into these research projects
to prove it by agricultural industry.
So if you think that the USDA is
protecting you or looking out for you, actually
if you look at the USDA website, you'll find that their goal
or their mission is to make sure
that agricultural businesses stay profitable.
That's their mission.
And so they are not a human
citizen protection agency.
They are there specifically to
make sure that agro business
stays profitable.
That's their mission.
And so they don't necessarily offer
you full access
to complete information.
And if you watch some of the movies that I'm going to add to the list
down below, you might get some insight into
why that would be or how that works.
So I hope this has been at least a little bit informative,
and I hope that I'll be able to
post the recording of my lecture next week here as well.Thank you.
