LISTEN to Dr. Joseph Mercola’s Interview with Dr. David Brownstein on iodine. Potassium-rich foods, Sea Seasonings, and Celtic sea salt are healthier options than refined, commercial salt, which is particularly harmful to those with hypertension and kidney disease. SEE https://seaveg.com.
A well-balanced macrobiotic diet can help reverse degenerative diseases. However, reversal diets are best adhered to for a short time, then changed to a more comprehensive diet. Both teens and adults often suffer from adrenal burnout because of all the stimulants they consume and exposure to toxic metals and environmental pollutants. Unfortunately, many practitioners do not understand that the body cannot eliminate toxins without energy.
Before fasting, it is necessary to rebuild both the thyroid and adrenal glands to restore the body’s energy. Rest, pasture-fed red meat, organic chicken liver, boned meat soups and stews, natural daylight and sunshine, pantothenic acid with other B vitamins, and superfoods such as bee pollen, Royal Jelly, and Sun Eleuthero help rebuild the adrenal glands. Dark leafy greens, Sun Chlorella, spirulina, cilantro, turmeric, and natural powdered zeolite help eliminate toxic metals, such as mercury in amalgam fillings, tuna, and other deep-sea fish.
Injuries and surgical procedures heal sooner with fewer complications when patients consume quality protein from pasture-fed or organic meat, leafy greens (folate, vitamins B12, K), sunshine vitamin D, natural A and E, C complex, magnesium, iodine, potassium, and zinc.
Taking aspirin before surgery can cause a patient to bleed to death. Medical procedures have a much better outcome, and there are far fewer complications when good nutrition is applied. Back pain and sore joints can be relieved by consuming a diet free of gluten, sugar, soda, and coffee.
Good nutrition with acupuncture and various products produces the best outcome.
Acupuncture, developed from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a very effective procedure that promotes healing from numerous ailments or injuries. It has a history that dates back to the second century BCE. Acupuncture’s use for certain conditions has been recognized by the National Institute of Health, in the United States; the AACMA (https://www.acupuncture.org.au/) in Australia; the National Health Service of the United Kingdom; the World Health Organization; and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Biotape, developed by Darrell Stoddard, is another remarkable and effective product that provides a drug-free, harmless pain treatment.
Climate/Lifestyles
Climate is another factor to consider when selecting a diet. People in a cold climate require cooked foods to warm the body for survival. Foods such as boned meat soups and stews; bison, beef, lamb, and other red meats; liver and kidneys; fatty fish; buckwheat/kasha/soba; kombu, and other sea vegetables (high in iodine) help warm the body. People in a tropical climate do better with raw and light foods, such as fish, poultry, vegetables, salads, and fruits.
Lifestyle and occupation are other factors to be considered when determining your dietary needs. For example, athletes or people who do a lot of physical work require a diet higher in fatty calories, quality protein, and complex carbohydrates than people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. People who do a great deal of mental work require sufficient quality protein, EFAs in balance, full-spectrum daylight, and brain nutrients (all organic). Some examples are small, wild-caught fatty fish, free-range turkey, eggs, walnuts, berries, green leafy vegetables, and Ginkgo biloba.
