Overarching Self-Help/Health Dietary Principles

Introduction

While I have gotten sick and injured over the years, every issue since getting out of the infantry in 1987 (over 37 years ago as of this writing) has been resolved without the use of regular medicines (not one prescription - not even an anti-biotic, or so much as setting my eyes on a doctor), and/or even alternative medicine's remedies (chiropractors, salves, herbs, lotions, supplements, tinctures, essential oils, etc.).

I'd grown up doing much hiking, backpacking, and camping off and on, and had spent three years of my early teens hitchhiking back and forth across the US. In addition, as an adult, I spent 14 months out-of-doors on a walk-about across the US (with no credit cards or cash in my pockets). Because of these things, I've often not been near medical facilities when sick or injured. That, coupled with being self-employed since getting out of the military, and so never a part of any health plan(s) or able to afford (and/or not wanting to spend the money) to see doctors; I began realizing through self-experimentation how to go inside and listen to my body for ways of self-treatment.

Usually, an acute injury-specific treatment comes in the moments following an injury, but, there have been times when it's come in advance of injury! Frequently noted, but not realized, has been the significance of some tidbit of knowledge, only to have an aha-moment regarding it later when illness or injury occurred. Someday, the treatment that comes might be to go the "standard" care route, but that's not been the case in nearly four decades so far. This "going inside" is something everyone can cultivate.

The longer we live, the more people we know or hear about who are sick, dying, or dead. The vast majority, in both cases, much too early for their ages, and from things that need not be.

I realize that while a few may someday venture along the line I've outlined above, they may not do so immediately; and most may never. The linked to videos below represent a sampling of hundreds of hours of, likely over a thousand, videos I've watched in the past more than a decade. This, in trying to find and piece together concepts to help others in their unbelief as they wrestle with their health issues. The videos express clearly worded, easily integrated, principles. They're provided here as a reference for you, to provide you a single link to share with others that pretty much covers all the bases; and to save you from having to spend the same amount of time pouring over so many videos to create your own list as I have done.

Of the two broad categories of injury, acute and chronic, the videos address the latter, the chronic. Chronic injury, by its nature, creeps up on you, and so might not manifest "before it's too late". Also by its creeping nature, the earlier we learn what causes most/all chronic disease and take the appropriate action(s), we can avoid chronic disease(s) altogether. Or, failing that (because we hadn't learned this stuff soon enough, or because we were lax in applying it), then the easier/quicker they maybe can be wholly and utterly, reversed.

(Speaking of chronic injury, I find no evidence that the many ailments we're told are inevitable with "aging" are true – necessarily – even the many said to be "hereditary". Virtually all appear to be the result of life choices. By and large, the [so called] inherited [so called] diseases are rooted in that the children tend to eat the same diets as they were raised eating. The only real difference being the trend toward each successive generation eating more, frequently, what are progressively more unnatural "foods." These food-poseurs are highly processed and ultra refined [including the processing/refining done at home]. They're near devoid of nutrients [and grossly unbalanced nutritionally for what nutrients are there]. Their macros are combined — which near never occurs in nature and so the body hasn't had to deal with that so much before [examples being, carbs combined with fat and/or carbs combined with protein — also, savory combined with sweet, etc.]. And, all that, outside their season[s], in such abundance, every day of the year... which confuses, overwhelms, and wreaks havoc on the body.)

And, so, successive generations are becoming increasingly sicker, earlier, with multiple maladies, for longer.

(I have been looking for the reference to something I read early on: [something to the effect of] "What is referred to as "chronic diseases" today, used to be referred to as "diseases of civilization." And before that, "diseases of captivity." Apparently, as far back as we've found civilizations who thought it's important to keep records, there's been descriptions of ailments. And, while called something different than we call them today, their descriptions align to descriptions of diseases on our list of chronic diseases? [I believe they've been able to confirm this recently too with various testings?])

The selected videos are significant and applicable because, besides the ability to address virtually all manner of chronic (and related) ills that plague our modern civilizations too (mental, physical, etc.), they express in differing words a number of complimentary dietary general principles I see repeated. Examples, being: 1. "The body, fed only what, and in the form(s) and amounts, nature's God intended, has the building blocks required to self-heal, and then is superbly equipped to do so"; 2. "Unless and until the matter of one's diet is addressed, virtually all attempts to maintain health or to heal are reduced to mere vain pursuits – only to have to be repeated, ad nauseam"; (to wit), 3. "If whatever one is eating (and/or not eating) doesn't keep them well, then whatever they're eating (and/or not eating) is incorrect in either their understanding and/or their application"; and, conversely, 4. "Whatever one is eating (and/or not eating) to make oneself well, should, by definition, be what keeps them well."

There are, of course, exceptions to the above (though, few, and far between); but, again, general principles...

It has been said that, "One's life choices (which include one's diet) are not for their benefit alone, but effect, and, therefore, ought be made with the great-grandchildren in mind." (Or, words to that effect.) (Note: while the following videos emphasize human health, the "species-specific-diet principle" (found therein) can be extrapolated and applied to whatever your pet species.)

Introduction to Understanding Scientific Research Papers

Hierarchy of Evidence

(Excerpt from, OpenMed's "levels-of-evidence" OpenMed/Levels of Evidence)

"Levels of evidence (or hierarchy of evidence) is a system used to rank medical studies based on the quality and reliability of their designs. The levels of evidence are commonly depicted in a pyramid model that illustrates both the quality and quantity of available evidence. The higher the position on the pyramid, the stronger the evidence. Each level builds on data and research previously developed in the lower tiers.

"Levels of evidence pyramids are often divided into two or three sections. The top section consists of filtered (secondary) evidence, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and critical appraisals. The section below includes unfiltered (primary) evidence, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case-controlled studies, case series, and case reports. Some models include an additional bottom segment for background information and expert opinion."

(Excerpt from page's "description" area: "I talk about the green tea extract side effect liver damage reported on the BBC programme (sic) some months back. The main problem is the green tea extract egcg concentration. I talk about that in the video, along with the green tea benefits that we are all aware of. So, regardless of the green tea benefits in particular weight loss, you need to be careful on how to use the green tea supplements. Because green tea supplements can cause liver failure. It is the green tea extracts in the supplements that cause the liver damage. If you are some one (sic) who is addicted to using weight loss supplements, you need to be careful about what supplements to buy. Green tea weight loss supplements can ruin your life because they can adversely affect your liver and your kidneys. So you need to be very careful with these green tea extract supplement, if you value your liver and your kidneys.")

(Note: Excerpts from: "U.S. Senate Document 264 Full Version" - June 1936 https://projects.sare.org/wp-content/uploads/united-states-senate-document-264.pdf)

"Anemic Earth was written in 1936, and submitted as part of a Congressional investigation into U.S. farming practices. The leading authorities of the day had been sounding the alarm that depleted soils were causing a significant decline in the nation's health, evidenced by a steady increase in degenerative diseases. But when Congress saw the price tag on repairing the nation's farm and range soils, they swept their own investigation under the carpet.

"The alarming fact is that foods, fruits and vegetables and grains, now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contain enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat!

"Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, the vegetables, the grains, the eggs, and even the milk and the meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago . No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them!

"It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99 percent of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one or more of the important minerals actually results in disease. Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement may be, and we sicken, suffer, shorten our lives.

"We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for the normal function of some special structure of the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body's appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless

"Disease preys most surely and most viciously on the undernourished and unfit plants, animals, and human beings alike, and when the importance of these obscure mineral elements is fully realized the chemistry of life will have to be rewritten. No man knows his mental or bodily capacity, how well he can feel or how long he can live, for we are all cripples and weaklings. It is a disgrace to science."

Minerals

(Note: There are three types of minerals we have to know about: 1. Elemental [relatively low absorption in animal and humans - adult human, only 3-5%, human child, maybe 8-12%]; 2. Chelated - through a process that increases mineral availability - tenfold[-ish] over the elemental type; and 3. Colloidal - small particle size, and in suspension - the way animals and humans are designed to get and absorb minerals - results in estimated 98% mineral availability.)

Essential Minerals

Omega 3

Omega 6

Omega 9 (without optimal amounts and ratios of Omega 3 and 6, the body can not manufacture its own Omega 9. Given the diet of most, it is reasonable to assume most bodies worldwide can not manufacture their own.)

Video Links (Alphabetical by Lab Test Name)

Unless there is a specific something to check for due to specific symptoms (in order to confirm it or rule it out), there is no real need (read: benefit) from getting blood or other lab work done - except in the instance of confirming type 1 diabetes - as it is a birth defect born by nutrient deficiencies. Because so many cases of T1D have been misdiagnosed, the assumption should be that most/all cases of T1D have been misdiagnosed; and, so, individual(s) should be tested to confirm they actually have T1. That being said, the below is offered for those who have already gotten lab work, and/or who will be getting it because they still believe, they "can't live without it".

What's this all about?

NOT "dieting" (not even "losing weight").

Benefit the most from the links

"Learn, and do"? No. Something more.

Make changes slowly.

There's a recommended prescribed, and orderly, progression.

What to expect.

Not what YOU want, WHEN you want it (necessarily).

Salt

You'll die without it (or wish you were dead if not getting enough!), but it will kill you in its use if you don't understand its properties, and its role in the body.

Teeth

Never another cavity?

Water

Nobody talks about this (like I talk about it).

"Coaching"?

I can not, for example, "diagnose, treat, or offer a cure" for disease. I can, however, help you getting yourself healthy by supporting and promoting the theory that the body wants to, and can, repair and maintain itself. And when certain life-long lifestyle changes are made which give the body all the correct materials (and none of the incorrect materials), and the correct environment, to do so; the body will do simply that... naturally.
