• "Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors…"
    --Dr. M. Adrian Gross, former senior FDA toxicologist

• For years, this company tried in vain to get aspartame approved. But no one wanted to go near the stuff! The FDA refused to approve it for 16 years. In fact, according to a report I recently uncovered, the late Dr. M. Adrian Gross, a former senior FDA toxicologist, stated in his testimony before Congress:

   

   

  "Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors"and, "therefore, by allowing aspartame to be placed on the market the FDA has violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is know to cause cancer...And if the FDA itself elects to violates its own the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?"
• STEVIA: Yes, it's natural. Yes, it's safe. But no, it tastes nothing like sugar. Okay for some, but not in my coffee!
• XYLITOL: Almost gets a perfect score. Natural, tastes like sugar, good for your teeth, doesn't spike blood sugar. On the down side, it gives some folks the trots.

• AND THE WINNER IS:

   

  You've probably never heard of it. It's called erythritol. And here's the best news: erythritol is natural, virtually calorie-free, tastes like sugar, doesn't affect blood sugar or insulin levels, reduces dental plaque -- and unlike xylitol, has no laxative side-effects. Available as Smart Sweet, it gets the Dr. Douglass nod!

• SLASH YOUR RISK OF
    ALZHEIMER’S OVERNIGHT

   

  It’s really easy. Starting tomorrow, drink no tap water. Not because of industrial pollution, but because of chemicals that “health authorities” are adding to your water. For example...

   

  People who warned against FLUORIDATION used to be ridiculed, but guess what? In Scandinavia, in fact all of Europe, and nearly every other medically advanced nation, they have now banned the practice.

• “Milk that’s not pasteurized is a health hazard”

   

  Really? Let’s look at how this myth was spun and how it got poured down the throats of the American public:

   

  If raw milk is so bad for us, how did the human race ever survive before pasteurization? After all, we’ve been milking cows and drinking down the creamy, nutrient-rich results for thousands of years--yet Louis Pasteur’s process (which was originally designed to prevent beer spoilage, mind you) has only been in widespread use for a little more than a century. So what gives?

• The answer, of course, is that non-pasteurized
    milk isn’t hazardous at all. It’s just a lot
    tougher to regulate and make money from it.

   

  Think about it: By legislating against the sale or distribution of raw milk, states force farmers to sell their milk (at a fraction of market value, by the way) to the big milk processors. This creates a “paper trail” on the milk, which can then be used as the basis for collecting tax revenue from those processors--and likely the farmers, too.

   

  And how else could they get away with this kind of shameless money-grubbing except under the guise of a public health concern? It’s just one more example of how your healthy, natural dietary options are being sold down the river by a bunch of dollar-crazed bureaucrat shakedown artists.
• BE A GOOD PATIENT AND EAT YOUR CHOLESTEROL. For more than 20 years, I’ve reminded Americans that cholesterol is not a terrifying toxin, but a life-saving nutrient. Your own body makes it when your foods don’t provide it. And studies now show that if you’re cholesterol-starved, you will raise your risk of massive strokes.
• EGG-LOVERS LIVE LONGER. Not only are eggs not guilty of causing heart disease, they’ve been proven to prevent it. That’s right, an enormous study of 800,000 people has shown that egg-eaters have a much lower rate of heart attacks and strokes than egg-avoiders.
• RAW
• TRUTH. Go ahead and indulge in steak tartare, and enjoy raw eggs in your mayonnaise and Caesar salad. Raw and rare meat contain life-saving nutrients that overcooking destroys.
• THE
• THE
• ASPIRIN-Harmless
    Or Hazardous?

• To recap, if this University of Maryland study is correct, a daily aspirin INCREASES the risk of coronary events in people with healthy (and normal) LDL cholesterol levels of 180, 200, or more.

   

  Yes, you read that right: anyone with an LDL cholesterol number LOWER than 200 risks serious heart problems. In fact, I don’t caution anyone to worry about cholesterol at all until their LDL hits 300 or more.

• You may not hear a lot about it, but boron is one of the most effective weapons available for the prevention of osteoporosis.

  • Boron and Osteoporosis

• I’m not going to go around professing I know what people need to eat now to feel better. I’m tired of that. I’m tired of information and knowledge and opinions. I’m tired of the vegans hating the animal eaters, the animal eaters hating the lard and raw milk eaters, the Aajonus raw, rotten meat eaters hating the Sally Falloners. I’m tired of every one fighting. I’m tired of everyone’s opinions.
• When I was talking to Richard, we were talking a little bit about the Weston Price Organization. He said Weston Price is for people who want to look good and aren’t willing to go the whole way. He said Aajonus is for people who want to cut through the bullshit.

   You speak of cholesterol values not being significant for raw fooders. Are you aware that Paavo Airola died of a stroke in his 60's, presumably from all the raw dairy in his diet? How do you explain this?
   
   Although I have read some of his books, I know nothing about Paavo Airola's personal diet. I don't know his heart condition before he became a predominantly raw fooder. I do not know the extent of his cooked fat intake.
   According to the immense research of W C Douglass MD, a high raw fat diet does not cause any heart conditions especially regarding the consumption of raw milk.
   I was confused by all of the same assumptive theories - that is why I rejected most and found my own results.
   Relating to my personal experience I point out that I had angina from age 15. I have not suffered angina since I added flesh to my diet. More than 90% of my clients who had high cholesterol levels for years on cooked diets lowered their cholesterol levels to normal within 6 months on a raw diet, that included tremendous amounts of raw fat and meat.
   Evidence has shown me that the presumption that raw dairy was responsible for Airola's death is likely to be false.
• Can you cite any scientific documentation to back up any of your nonstandard dietary claims?
