The Case of Man being a Consumer of Vegetation

It’s been more than 30 years since I began
trying to find out about how to be healthy, as I battled with it for so long. I
just wanted to know how I could live my life without all the hassles I was sort
of just getting used to, thinking it was just a part of life and was supposed
to get worse as I got older. After having been as much as 50 pounds overweight,
with three serious bouts of Rheumatic Fever, gout at age 23 and laid up for
over three weeks in West Texas, terrible gum problems, Rheumatoid Arthritis so
bad I had to quit one job in the oil fields — and I could go on with the
frequent sinus problems and horrendous stomach problems with gas that defied
description — I was almost ready to give up.
But then I moved to Florida where I saw a
bunch of people who were enjoying health to the max and that rekindled my
spirit. But I really had no one to glean from so it was all a trial and error
at first.
But after splashing Muriatic Acid into my
face (by accident of course), I couldn’t see out of my right eye for weeks and
was told I would never see out of it again. That’s when I met the most
fantastic person who helped me to understand my body and how wonderfully we are
designed. His name was Dr. George W. Foster and he was a God-send, believe me.
After five days of working with Dr. Foster, I TOTALLY cleared up the problem,
but it was that great accident that led me to what I’m doing to this day.
Here’s a little bit of what I learned —
and understand that it really is not my intention to sway you from eating
flesh/meats. From my years counseling with folks on nutrition, I have found
that some people can eat meat and not feel a lot of negative nutritional
effects. But I’ve observed that if people are going to eat flesh (beef,
chicken, fish and other meats), then let’s see that we eat it sensibly. It
should be no more than 4-6 ounces at any one time. Never fry, char-broil, grill
or microwave flesh, or anything else for that matter. And of course, combine
foods properly for optimum digestion, i.e. “eat greens with proteins.” That
could mean lots of non-starchy vegetables with whatever source of flesh you’re
consuming at the time. This was one of the reasons that sparked my development
of “The
Food Combining Guide!”
Here are some facts for you to think
about, though:
- Flesh is the DEAD carcass of animals … simple
as that! If we eat live foods like fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and
some grains, they have an abundant supply of nutrients and energy. DEAD
FOODS ARE DEAD!
- Flesh-eating animals have a short bowel to
enable then to rapidly expel putrefactive flesh, while humans have a long
and complicated alimentary tract to enable plant nutrients to be slowly
and properly absorbed by the body
- Flesh eaters have a different type of
intestinal bacteria from the non-flesh eaters. Humans fall into the second
category.
- Flesh eaters have long, sharp teeth. Humans have
the teeth to eat fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and some grains.
- Humans can grind with their jaws, flesh
eaters cannot. Flesh eaters’ jaws move up and down only. Notice how your
dog eats food in gulps and when you feed it meat, it tears it apart and swallows
it with very little chewing while a cow slowly chews the food and grinds
with its jaws.
- Humans, horses, cows, antelopes, and the
monkey family all sweat through their skin. All flesh eaters sweat through
their tongues.
- Humans suck their liquids, flesh eaters all
lap their liquids.
- Human saliva contains starch-splitting
enzymes, flesh eaters do not.
- Flesh eaters have large livers, humans have
comparatively small livers.
- Flesh eaters secrete into their stomach 10
times the hydrochloric acid as do non-flesh eaters to cope with the
feathers, sinew, bones and larger quantities of meats.
- Flesh eaters take nourishment from the whole
beast while humans who do eat flesh usually eat just the muscle part of
the beast.
- Humans seldom eat raw meat. They first have
to cook it to help disguise it from the corpse it really is.
In summation, flesh eating is a
horrendously wasteful eating habit for humans. Slaughtered cows live first on
vegetation, and their flesh is therefore second-hand. Even though the whole of
their bodies generally is not consumed by humans, cows still have to be fed on
land that might otherwise be growing food for the starving billions of people
on this earth. JUST A THOUGHT!
And one other thought to consider: We
really are gatherers and NOT totally hunters.
