Things They Don

Since the early 1900s, Americans have been trying to improve upon the food designed by either God or evolution.

However, when we compare people eating in the wild, au naturale, and those eating the food of developed countries, we see a clear correlation between  “professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

Albert Schweitzer noted from his hospital in Gabon (1913) that the natives were cancer free.

June 1923 issue of British Medical Journal noted that a British doctor practicing for 23 years in Nigeria, had never seen a case of cancer among the natives.

Professor Manual Navarro of Santo Tomas University in Manila reported an absence of cancer among the primitive Moro natives in South Philipines.

Irish surgeon Denis Burkitt, reported in 1960 that Ugandan natives were free of colorectal cancer.

All these natives are grain vegetarians, with minimal polyunsaturated oils in their diet, and no processed sugar.

An editorial in The Lancet (1974) entitled  € Beware the Ox, stated that wherever there is low beef consumption, there is no incidence of colon cancer.   Scotland has a very high beef consumption, and the highest colorectal cancer in the world.   Oddly, a vegetarian Indian population living in Scotland is almost free of colorectal cancer.

In 1989, the Garland et al, Baltimore study of 25,000 people showed that there was a 80% reduction in colorectal cancer deaths with the highest levels of vitamin D in their blood samples.

In 1983, Stephen Seely of the University of Manchester did a study on worldwide sugar intake and breast cancer.   As we all know, insulin is highly toxic; a tiny amount is all that is needed.   When we eat sugar, we produce large amounts of insulin.   In the study, England has the highest consumption of sugar in the world; and the highest death rate from breast cancer.   The USA has 80% the sugar consumption of England, and oddly enough, 80% of the breast cancer compared to England.

The correlation is amazing!   Greece eats 1/3 the sugar, and has 1/3 the breast cancer.   Japan eats 1/4 the sugar, and has 1/4 the breast cancer.   What odd coincidences!!!

There are other oddities.   In the 1930s, 80% of men smoked cigarettes, yet lung cancer was not as bad as today.   Since then, only 30% of men smoke, and the cigarettes have much lower tar than the 30s.   However, lung cancer today is 30 times greater than in 1930.

Everyone knows that cigarette smoke causes lung cancer.   George Burns who smoked for 80+ years and died of cardiac arrest from the flu (brought on by a head injury), at the ripe old age of 100, would argue that smoking causes cancer.

In Japan, 80% of men smoke, but the death rate from lung cancer is much lower than in the USA.   How can that be??

Now, here is the important fact.   Polyunsaturated fats and trans fats (Crisco) are immunosuppressive.   In 1977, University of Oxford proved that this is true.   One of the researchers had a daughter with GBS (Guillian-Barre Syndrome), a severe debilitating auto-immune disease.   At 5 years old, she failed all imunosuppressing drugs, and was profoundly disabled and thought to die.

Knowing polyunsaturated oils are immunosuppressive, they gave the girl 30 cc of sunflower seed oil a day for a year.   She was cured, is now grown to adulthood and married.   The researchers later found that sunflower seed oil was very effective at immunosupressing renal transplant patients.

So what does all this mean?   I love epoxy.   This is wonderful stuff.   I once bolted a toilet to the floor at my old house using just epoxy (I always feared if I ever had to fix that toilet).   Epoxy is made of two components.   Separately, they aren’t good for much, just resin and hardener.   But if you smear resin on your left hand, and smear hardener on your right, clasp your hands together for 5 minutes, you’ll be in prayer formation until the skin peels off.

Perhaps beef is bad for you.   Perhaps sugar is bad for you.   Perhaps smoking is bad for you.   But when you mix polyunsaturated oils and/or trans fats with these bad things, you make them MUCH, MUCH WORSE.

Why?   Because when you eat immune system suppressing oils, the cancers and diseases that you were normally able to fight off, no longer can.   Our immune system kills cancers every day; that’s its job.   But when you suppress that efficient immune system, the cancers and diseases you normally ignore are going to get you.

What should you do?   Stick with monounsaturated oils (olive, canola, coconut, avocado).   And don’t heat them to smoking point (that’s when carcinogens form).
