Nutrition is a tricky thing. So many people have so many different
opinions. Then others have so much money that true science gets
jumbled if not lost. In this conjoined atmosphere, I (John)
personally spent 23 years and over 30 thousand dollars, out of
pocket, looking for help when my body started failing... I was but 17
at the beginning.
The first time I knew something was wrong was the day I ran the
length of the basketball court during a play the last time I played.
I was seriously winded which was a new feeling for me. The condition
was attributed to exercise induced asthma which limited my physical
activity ever since.
Additionally, in my 20’s I worked through digestion
disorders, stomach cramps, mononucleosis, and general fatigue. The
30’s brought Epstein Bar and chronic fatigue. I had a sore and
swollen liver and started ringing up medical bills. My 40’s
brought broken bones, rupture tendons, type 2 diabetes,
diverticulitis, multiple rounds of kidney stones, and an even more
inflamed liver. From 135lbs to 412lbs, I gained 277lbs. Productive
work became significantly harder.
“We are individually responsible
for our own health.”
Doctors where getting more expensive and less effective. So, I
called it. I was done with conventional doctors. I couldn’t
afford them anymore anyway. Funny thing poverty, it causes us to
know that we are individually responsible for our own health. Doctors
seam to like money and don’t help those that can’t pay
much (doctor’s have to eat too). In this environment, by sore experience, I learned that
nutrition isn’t food. Food may contain nutrition but,
commercially grown food seldom contains the level or number of
nutrients we need daily. Animals, like us humans, need 133 (plus) basic
essential minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, enzymes, amino acids,
probiotics, and prebiotics almost daily. Plants only need 13 minerals
to be healthy and strong. This can short us just 57 in minerals alone.
My liver continued to fail. Soon it was dumping any thiamine
(vitamin B1) I was getting instead of sending it to the heart. I
folded in October of 2019 of stage 4 congestive heart failure. I was
told I needed a cardiologist. Anyone that tells you that you need a
specialist doesn’t know the interdependability of the human
body very well.
Seven months later I was healing using the carnivore diet and boat loads
of supplements. However, I was retaining water to the tune of 490lbs. I
was fixing my liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and converting fat to water
but, I didn’t know how to get the water off. Laura put me in the
hospital after I was getting stuck in chairs and in bed. In the hospital
I lost 200lbs of water in two weeks, I also discovered I needed more salt
in my diet. Salt is at the base of absorbing and balancing all other
minerals and passing water.
“Eating nutritionally dense food only
works if we can digest and metabolize it.”
After all of this, eating nutritionally dense food only works if
we can digest and metabolize it. Eating too close to the fifty yard
line is also a problem most Americans have. A lot of the traditions
and food combinations we enjoy may limit and impede our nutrient
absorption. We’ll enjoy discussing these and making suggestions
a little farther into this site.
We have also found that our environment may interfere with our
metabolization. Many of the minerals we need conduct electricity that
can be induced or altered by radio waves changing their charge and
thus how they work in our protein matrix. How do we defend or over
come this unseen pollution? We have a few ideas.
