Follow in my footsteps as I undertake an ongoing experiment to recover completely from eczema, gut problems and an aching body. I intend to achieve this by not eating anything that is processed, transported over distance, killed, frozen or packaged, (known as dead food). What I am attempting is well proven methodology based on ancient wisdom of the Essenes and Edmond Bordeaux Szekely who successfully cured many hundreds of people of their sickness and disease, plus the wonderful work of Dr Ann Wigmore. I intend to remain fit and healthy into old age by practicing yoga and exercising, eating only healthy organic food, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grain, plus seed sprouts. Doing this I will also save money and leave a light footprint. |
Day 42
Still quite itchy today and had to postpone going for a motor bike ride because of the heat. I also think that sitting on top of a petrol engine is not so good either.
More from the book by Dr Ann Wigmore, Recipes for Longer Life.
THE COMPLETE MEAL SALAD
Part two:
In plant life, much of the protein is already in a pre-digested state; this is especially true of sprouts and indoor greens, in which most of the protein is in the form of simple amino acids. Furthermore, the protein in plants has the advantage of being free from nucleon-proteins and there fore dose not lead to the formation af uric acid in the system and dose not encourage gout or rheumatism.
New scientific findings indicate the amount of protein required can vary from 20 to 50 grams for each individual, depending on weight, sex, climate, and type of work. Dr. N. Hindhade, Director of the Hindhade Laboratory for Nutritional Research established by the Danish Government, shows the definite relationship between high protein diets and acidosis and disease. It is a scientifically demonstrated fact, for example, that dairy cows which are fed heavily on proteins are short-lived and subject to many disorders of the kidneys and bowels not found in cows permitted to graze and eat in a more normal manner.
It has been dramatically pointed out that a low protein diet in animals and humans yields an increased resistance to disease, and builds an, immunity against cancer and that it is nearly impossible to graft cancer cells onto species fed on a low protein diet.
Protein is constructed of 22 building blocks called amino acids, of which eight have been found in the food requirements of people. From those eight, we can synthesize the others we require. All eight of these essential amino acids must be present together in the “complete meal” as they complement each other‘s qualities. If one of the eight is missing, then the remaining amino acids /cannot be utilized and fail to provide what they were designed to.
Protein is very sensitive to heat. Heat causes irreversible changes in protein, changes that downgrade the protein. Most Americans (Australians) now cook their food, whether meat of vegetable, which could account for the fact that most nutritionists recommend approximately 70 grams of protein a per day for the average person, whereas raw food proponents recommend only about half that amount. Uncooked food can provide more usable proteins.
