You don’t have to be a genius or have vast medical knowledge in order to eat right and have a healthy diet. All that is required is that we use a little common sense. The problem is, at least when it comes to what we eat, common sense has flown out the window. It is not completely our fault, though. If all the nutritional advice and all the vast medical knowledge that is available were correct, then sickness and disease would be the exception rather than the rule. The problem with all this knowledge that is out there is that it is not impartial. All scientific and medical research is subject to interpretation and, unfortunately, It has been heavily influenced by whatever person or group is paying for the research.

   There’s too much money being made by the food, pharmaceutical, medical and health industries for them to be completely honest and unbiased in the interpretation of their research. If a research facility is receiving funds from a pharmaceutical concern to find something or to prove something; that is what they will try to do. If they find the opposite they will lose the funding that keeps them in business. If their real concern was the health and well being of the people, their research would be totally unbiased in nature and they would be free to discover the truth about nutrition. Instead they are only interested in how someone can make a huge profit from their discoveries. Cancer research has become a multi-billion dollar a year industry, employing thousands and thousands of people around the world.
   Sickness and disease, rather than being the scourge of mankind, have become the very engine that drives a huge international industry that is making fortunes off the pain and suffering of people around the world.
   If I were a contractor going out to give someone an estimate for a job, I would want to give them a good job they would be happy with, but I would also try to make as much money off that job as I could. It’s that way in every industry. That is only natural. Why do we expect anything else from the medical industry? They may be concerned with your health, but their number one goal, what keeps them going is how much money can they make.
    In 1934 a man named Charles Pogue invented a carburetor that made a car go 200 miles on a gallon of gasoline. (I have a copy of the plans for that carburetor in my possession.) The petroleum industry tried to buy him out, but he would not sell, so his shop was broken into and his castings and molds destroyed. He died without ever seeing his invention reach the public. The same thing happens in the medical and nutritional fields. I have read over and over again how medical and nutritional research that could greatly benefit mankind has been scoffed, ridiculed and hidden away just to keep some corporation from losing money. The medical breakthroughs of people like Royal Rife, Rene Caisse, and others have been squashed to keep people from learning how they have been treated like a commodity rather than as fellow human beings. Keep us ignorant like good sheep and you can continue fleecing us, but let us gain the knowledge you have hidden from us and we will no longer support your industry with our dollars.

   It is no secret that sugar is not good for you. Almost everyone would agree with that statement and common sense would tell us not to eat it, yet the average American consumes 110 pounds of it annually. This is insanity. The average soft drink contains more than ten teaspoons of it. Add to that the huge amounts of sweets and other foods that contain it and you are looking at one of the main reasons for poor health.

   Saturated fats have been blamed for everything from heart disease to cancer, but common sense would not agree. Past generations ate a lot of saturated fats, yet they did not have the high rates of these maladies that are prevalent in society today. There are many examples of indigenous people groups around the world who have diets that are rich in saturated fats but have very little or no heart disease. Eskimo groups that have stayed with their traditional diets of whale and seal blubber have up to 65% of their diets as saturated fats, yet they do not have heart problems until they start eating things that have been introduced by our more "civilized" cultures. Since we have been brainwashed into thinking low fat diets were good for us, heart disease has become the number one killer in the western world.

    Something has gone seriously wrong with the medical, nutritional and health fields in society today. Instead of them looking for ways to keep us healthy, they have become parasites. The only way they can stay in business is for us to stay sick. Let’s look back to a time when these plagues of disease did not overwhelm us and find out how people ate then. That is the key to finding good nutrition. Past generations were taught to eat healthy by their parents, who learned from their parents, who learned from theirs. Today we are taught to eat by commercials. Hour after hour of companies promoting the benefits and value of their products across the airwaves brainwashing us into the obedient consumers they want us to be. I say it’s time for us to take over the responsibility for our own health and of those we love.

    First, let me say that I am not a medical doctor. The factual information shared here has been garnered over three decades of personal studies into health and nutrition. If all of the hours of study and research had been done in a university, it would have earned at least a bachelor’s degree by now. One advantage of not being institutionally trained is that a predetermined path did not direct my studies. There were no corporations or industries directing my education so their products would have another salesperson. There is no drug, pharmaceutical or chemical company getting rich off this information, so you can trust that, at the very least, it is unbiased. My purpose in the pursuit of this knowledge was how to get and stay healthy.

   Because of the things I have discovered, I feel it would be immoral and possibly criminal for me to continue to watch those around me continue to suffer with diseases and conditions that are completely preventable and not share this valuable, life saving information with them.

    (Legally required disclaimer goes here..) In order to prevent the powers that be from coming after me for practicing medicine without a license, I must give the following legal disclaimer: I am not a physician or a diagnostician. Therefore, any information given here is for informational purposes only and is not to be considered medical or diagnostic advice. If you have a medical condition, try to find a medical practitioner who thoroughly understands the link between nutrition and health, and the dangerous affects that fungus can have on our bodies, our minds and our emotions.

    The medical profession does not have the answers to disease. Most medical doctors have very little, if any, instruction on correct nutrition. Medical schools do not teach proper nutrition. There is a reason for this: their funding comes from the major pharmaceutical companies. Because of this, they teach their students to treat symptoms with drugs and medications. They will not teach doctors how to prevent disease by correcting the diets of their patients. If they were to begin to teach this they could lose most of the funding they receive from the pharmaceutical industry. Many good people with good intentions go into the medical profession. They have a sincere desire to help hurting people to get well. They do not know that the schools that are training them have been sold to the highest bidder. It’s no longer about health --- It’s about money!! The powerful drug and chemical industry has bought and paid for our medical universities and the AMA, our only medical licensing facility. My ex-brother-in-law, who is a Harvard medical school graduate, says he was taught that anyone who teaches that you can prevent or cure disease with diet or vitamins is a quack. Fortunately, there are many researchers and medical practitioners today who have discovered the important role a correct diet plays on maintaining good health. I've studied some of the work of researchers, such as Doug Kaufmann,  Dr. Mary Enig,  Dr. Bruce Fife,  Dr. Stephen Byrnes, and  Raymond Peat, which has completely convinced me that my former brother -in-law was wrong.

   Treating symptoms instead of the underlying cause is like taking a pain medication for a thorn. It stops the pain, but the thorn is still there. If left there, it can cause severe infection. Let's remove the thorn!!

    What if I were to tell you that something you probably eat all the time is slowly killing you? Would that change the way you eat? What if I were to inform you that this same thing is the cause of most degenerative diseases? Would that get your attention?

    Obesity is not a disease. It is a symptom of an underlying condition, which may be considered a disease. It may be hypothyroidism, hyperinsulinism, or a combination of both. When we try to correct a diseased condition by treating the symptom, it’s like patching holes in a termite infested house without treating it for termites. You may get it to look good for a while, but the cause of the problem is still there. All you’ve done is make it look better. If it is left untreated, the house will eventually fall down around you. Treating the symptoms is exactly what the medical industry does. In order to gain and maintain health, you must get to the underlying cause of the outward symptoms and correct it. That’s why we say this is not a diet to lose weight. It is a total change in the way we eat. It is a program for health. A healthy body will not keep excess weight. A healthy body will heal itself of nearly all disease. One has to be committed to regaining and maintaining health for this to work.

    You may be saying, "I’m not fat, though." Just because you are not experiencing the symptom of obesity does not mean you are in good health. You may be like the house I mentioned above and the termites just haven’t damaged areas that are visible yet. Give them enough time and they will. You also may be having other health problems, such as headaches, chronic fatigue, acid reflux (acidosis), indigestion, constipation, asthma and other allergies, attention deficit disorder, mental confusion, etc. If left untreated it can lead to many very serious conditions, such as diabetes, Grave's disease, Hodgkin's disease, Parkinson's disease, Epstein Barr syndrome, leaky gut and many others. The list goes on and on. If you are not having any symptoms yet, then you are at the perfect time to start doing something to prevent yourself from ever having to go through the pain and suffering that millions of people go through on a daily basis. You can continue to eat the way you have been eating all of your life and you will suffer the consequences of an unhealthy, diseased body, or you can find out what your body needs to maintain good health and begin to feed yourself correctly and live a long, healthy vibrant life. The choice is up to you. Take control of your life. Millions of people have recovered from some very dangerous, life threatening conditions by just correcting their diets. I have personally been witness to many chronic conditions being totally cured, just by changing to a correct diet: diabetes, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s-like symptoms, indigestion and acid reflux, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic respiratory congestion, sinus conditions, headaches, obesity, and others. I have seen people regain control of their health and their lives. Stop allowing the drug companies to get rich off of your sickness and disease. Cholesterol is not the big nasty villain it has been made out to be. Years ago, it was not considered unusual to have a cholesterol reading above 300; yet, there was little heart disease. Cholesterol is a good and natural substance that our own livers produce because our bodies need it to function properly. Cholesterol is necessary for the proper functioning of cells, muscles and nerves, it helps the body to produce hormones and vitamin D, it lubricates the joints, and has many other functions, one of which is that it absorbs some of the toxins that have entered the bloodstream. It is this last characteristic of cholesterol that concerns us. It absorbs toxins from the bloodstream.

    Cholesterol lowering medications work because they are anti-fungal drugs. Unfortunately, they also damage the liver. We all have different sorts of toxins floating around in our bloodstreams. One of the main killers is mycotoxins. They are the waste products of fungi.

    Mycotoxins are some of the deadliest substance on Earth. (Saddam Hussein, and others like him, have stockpiled tons of the stuff to use as biological warfare agents against their enemies.) Cholesterol absorbs many of these mycotoxins. It’s one of the ways your body has to protect itself from the damaging effects of these killers. The reason cholesterol lowering drugs lower cholesterol is because they are anti-fungal drugs. They kill fungus, so there is less mycotoxin in the blood. Your liver senses this and stops producing as much cholesterol. The problem with these drugs is that they also severely damage the liver. Cholesterol lowering drugs should only be taken in a life or death situation, and then only for a very short time. There is only one drug that is considered safe to use for this, Nystatin. It has been in use for over 50 years and there have been no serious health problems associated with it. Unfortunately, the patent has run out on it, so it has become a generic drug and no one is making a lot of money off it, so it has fallen out of favor with the medical establishment. (That’s why you are always seeing new drugs coming out. It’s not that the old ones don’t work, they just stopped making money off them.) It’s not about health ---- it’s about money!!

    There are also natural substances that kill fungus or reduce its levels in the body. We use grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, and Pau d’arco. They are available in most health food stores. There are blends of these anti-fungal herbs made by several different companies available. We also have switched to using virgin coconut oil for cooking (more on this later.)

   Fungus infections can and do cause most of the major diseases we find so rampant in our society today. There have been studies which have shown conclusively that fungus can and does cause diabetes, cancer, thyroid problems, respiratory ailments, such as asthma and emphysema, neurological disorders, including Parkinson-like problems and many, many others. Mold-related medical studies include one in 1999 from the Mayo Clinic that determined that most chronic sinus infections are caused by mold. In addition, it can and does cause many symptoms that we think of as psychological or mental disorders, such as hyperactivity, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and many others.

    Sugar and other refined carbohydrates are poison to your system. They feed fungus, which feeds on you and poisons you. Before the rise of refined carbohydrates in the diet, people lived healthy lives. Most major diseases can be traced right back to the introduction of refined carbohydrates and over-processed foods into the mainstream diet.
