Food: Serious as a Heart Attack. At 9: 1. 5 PM on Tuesday April 2, 2. Star Trek Enterprise started rolling, I had a massive heart attack and died. I died on my living room floor, in the ambulance and once again in the ER. Long story full of heavy drama, cliff- hanger close calls, amazing technologies and personal transformations, but the upshot was that I spent 6 days in a cardiac ICU and generated well over a hundred grand in medical debt. I personally take ubiquinol every day for its superior bioavailability and far. I would walk or exercise just a little every day. Or at least 2 minutes 3 times a week. I would eat a vegetarian all organic life food diet. Happy Cowshare Owners February 2015--Testimonials a cow.The nurses later told me that only 4 percent survive the kind of heart attack I had. Very. A 5. 0- foot walk to the mailbox at the end of my driveway required a 4. Nonetheless, in between naps I could go online and I did. My focus was, “What the hell happened?” I had no significant lifestyle risk factors, no family history of heart disease and. I was 5. 6 at the time of my heart attack, just 3? And obviously I was not dead- dead. Nobody comes back from that. Or, as Miracle Max may have said, I was “. If I was this vulnerable to heart disease, then something was seriously wrong with how I was living my life, and the first suspect was my diet. I began intensively researching this topic, and was eventually fortunate enough to find some really significant. More on that later. Those that get the disease should be cured quickly with IVC 50g/day for at least 3. Vitamin C Foundation Approved. THE DEATH OF CANCER: BUDWIG DIET (Flax Seed Oil / Cottage Cheese. This means I also spent a lot of time debunking the osteoporosis propaganda put out by the. Have Reduced Cardiac and. A Review Of the Proposed U.S. Dietary Guidelines To Drop Cholesterol Limits. Pritikin Intensive Cardiac. This is nothing more than propaganda from people who. I know diet/lifestyle/stress. Nutritional and Medicinal Health Benefits of Moringa Olifera (Malunggay) Moringa (Malunggay) health and nutritional benefits has been documented in a number of. First off let me remind you that I’m not a doctor and I’m not giving medical advice. I’m a survivor of a massive heart attack of a type that very few survive. The nurses and docs warned me that the damage to my heart and cardiovascular system was so severe that they gave me a survival prognosis of three months to maybe two years tops. As of this writing it’s been nearly ten years since. For me, understanding what happened and what to do about it was literally a matter of life and death. While I am no longer afraid of death at all, I am rather fond of my life and am not terribly anxious for it to end. My understanding of this issue was then and continues to be a top priority for me. At the time of my heart attack I was shocked to discover that my total cholesterol was normal (1. I was prediabetic (A1. C of 1. 1. 2 so BG maybe around 2. I remember correctly), that I weighed about 2. I had IBS, high blood pressure, serious arthritis and a host of other underlying conditions. Nobody tells us that half of all fatal heart attacks occur in people with “normal” cholesterol, and they certainly do not advertise that 7. Clearly there are direct causative correlations between those two. And now there is even some early data saying that Alzheimer’s may be a form of Type 3 diabetes. We’ll see – more research necessary there. However. It turns out that everything we’ve been told about fat and dietary health is backwards and comes from a profit- based collusion between government, big agriculture. It’s not that they are in some massive conspiracy, just that everyone’s greed for profits has produced an. It started with Ancel Keys and his faked research and deceptive cholesterol reports after World War II and the pattern went on from there. It’s called “the lipid hypothesis” and it’s one of the most heinous deceptions in modern medicine. There is no causal relationship between cholesterol levels and heart disease. The lipid hypothesis is a health scare that has been completely. If the dietary advice about low- fat diets really worked, why then are the rates for cancer, heart. Nope. It took me two years of research before I discovered, worked out and fixed the culprits in my food supply. I experimented and played with my food and swapped things around until I developed real certainty about what was optimal. I stopped eating any grains or carbs, no sugars or sweeteners, and although altogether the conversion and transformation took about 3 years total, I eventually even quit eating plants at all. The result is that my daily intake of carbs is typically below 2. Turns out that there are two kinds of human metabolism – fat- driven ketosis, where we metabolize ketone bodies, and the sugar/carbohydrate- driven insulin- based metabolism. Ketosis and the fat- based diet is how we evolved, but as a fall- back for times when meat is scarce we can survive on carbs. It’s not optimal, and we suffer for it, but once we get back to a meat diet we can recover very quickly. Fat doesn’t make you fat and it’s not fat that kills you. Every gram of carbohydrate you eat is nothing more than a gram of glorified sugar. Furthermore, obesity (with some rare exceptions) is a symptom of metabolic starvation. When we eat fat it becomes fuel and it burns clean. When we eat carbohydrates and sugars our body thinks we are in starvation and it converts much of that sugar to fat, storing it for later. The problem is that sugar does not burn clean – it requires insulin, and excessive insulin generates severe inflammation, glycation, insulin resistance and eventually hyperinsulinemia, which of course leads to the big 5 – obesity, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and many types of the sugar- derived cancers. The reality is that nutrient- rich traditional fats have nourished healthy human population groups for hundreds of thousands (and quite likely, millions) of years. Humans are natural- born fat- seekers and fat- eaters. Remember, 5. 0 to 6. Eat this: Butter, whole raw milk and whole raw cheeses. Beef and lamb tallow. Lard. Chicken, goose and duck fatbacon fat. Egg yolks. Marine oils (like cod liver oil)all fatty meats. I find it interesting that medical researchers call this the “French Paradox” because the fatty ingredients above are what make French cuisine so amazingly delicious. Saturated fats are so important to our health that if we don’t eat enough of. This is also part of the reason that people eating a low- fat diet have such consistently high cholesterol levels. If we don’t eat sufficient cholesterol then our body has to make it, and our blood levels spike. We need that cholesterol for every single cell membrane in our body, as well as for all our neurotransmitters. Ever wonder why low- fat dieters are so susceptible to mood disorders? I recommend reading the ingredients list on every food item we buy. If it contains any of the following 5 ingredients, don’t buy it and certainly don’t eat it: Avoid these: 1) ? I just read a recent study that high fructose corn syrup is the number one favorite nutrient preferred by cancer cells. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, thyroid problems, high blood pressure, arthritis, ADHD, autism, osteoporosis, dental caries and gum disease, obesity, allergies, many kinds of cancers, reproductive dysfunction and sterility – all. When I’m thirsty I drink water. Although this time of year (August) when the wild blueberries are ripe on my land, I might have a handful on the way down to go canoeing on the river that is the western boundary of my place. I see no negative effects from this so far, but the quantities are small and the frequency is low. My metabolism stays in nutritional ketosis. I’ve lost well over 5. My IBS vanished, and so did my GERD and arthritis. My blood pressure is 1. My A1c is between 4. Total cholesterol is about 1. I’m in the best health I’ve been in since I was 2. CVE in ’0. 7. My cardiologist, when he found out I was eating a primal diet (some might call it paleo but I don’t because I go way beyond that), just went batshit crazy, jumping all over my case about how I should be on statins and eating very low- fat. I flat out refused the statins. Then I asked him, if all he said was true then how did he explain my blood chemistry results? I eventually had to fire him because he refused to wake up to the fact that nearly everything he knew and advised about food, nutrition and my health was not only incorrect, but ass- backwards. If you need a doctor, find one who is paleo (or primal) friendly. If you like to eat plants, then I highly recommend you follow the meal plan of my good friend Steve Cooksey, who is a classic example of an insulin- dependent T2 diabetic who no longer requires insulin or any other meds. End of story. For those of you who love the science and the details, I recommend Nora Gedgaudas – links to her videos and her book can be found here: Primal Body, Primal Mind – Beyond the Paleo Diet. You should be aware that eating this way will generate a lot of push- back from people who have no idea what they are talking about – friends, family, poorly informed true believers such as vegans and dieticians and so on, even many doctors. They have not lived this experience and they are operating from conviction founded upon belief. Instead of listening to them, just trust your body. Do the work that growth requires, heal and live well. It can take a while to adapt to zero carb and ketosis but once you do, you will be amazed at how quickly you will heal, how great your body feels and how effortless this way of life is. For more background, I also highly recommend you read“The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability”.
