GENIUS FORUMS

From what I’ve been researching lately, the foods that cause disease are not necessarily bad, but people consume them in the wrong percentages or ratios thus causing their blood PH levels to become too acidic.

Generally people base their food choices more on the ‘pleasure principle’, rather than a balance between yin and yang foods, so they tend to choose far more acidic foods than alkaline ones. And not to mention that there are more acidic foods in the grocery stores. For instance: water, most fruits and vegetables, and some nuts are alkaline, while meat, grains, pasta, dairy products, caffeine products, chocolate, alcohol, and processed foods high in sugar are generally acidic. So it is fair to say that most westerners probably consume far too many acidic foods in contrast to alkaline ones, and this is the reason for increased levels of disease and illness.

So the food consumed is either acid producing in the blood, or alkaline producing in the blood. In other words, your blood PH is measured by the percentage of positive to negative ions in solution (the blood), and if acidic, the acidosis can migrate into the cell cytoplasm of the vital organs, and over time, lead to most diseases and illnesses. I also suspect that most diagnosis of stomach flu and the flu virus are incorrect because what is actually happening is that your body has become so acidic that your cells aren’t able to function properly to produce the enzymes necessary to break down the food, and the body has also been leached of all the minerals that neutralize acid, so your body rejects the toxicity food violently by pushing it through the intestines.

So if your body has been acidic over a long period of time, all the positive ions that neutralize the acidic ones have been leached from your body.. Examples include potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium (all positively charged in solution). Moreover, the cause of conditions such as shrinking in old age and Osteoporosis are caused by the continual leaching of calcium in an overly acidic body. So I believe Doctors use the germ theory far too often in diagnosis, when they should be using the theory of Acidic/Alkaline Balance. The fundamental flaw with the medical community is that they are not provided with enough nutrition training, and instead are trained to deal with the symptoms of illness with chemicals, and not the prevention of illness.

I agree.
But, most doctors (prepare for me to generaliza...hehe) dont speak science.
Doctors treat their patients like a mother would her 4 year old sun.
"Honey, you have an owie and I'm going to take care of it for you."
They view you as so much more pathetically challenged in the area of medical knowledge.

Moderation usually is key.

Hominids evolved all over the planet in small groups in different ecosystems. Why would we now expect them all to do as well on the same diet? If I wanted my kids to grow up fat and stupid, I wouldda raised them on soulfood. But as their genetic heritage is Northern European, I focused on wheat and oats, not corn, will less red meat and more fish.

YMMV. But no matter what your genetic heritage is, it did not include supermarket junkfood, so agreed, the issue bears looking into. Amish kids may have problems, but I dont see that they are fat, stupid, or raised on psychotropic meds.

But when you consider the cumulative effect all across the nation, it makes you wonder if it will continue to be functional as ever more dysfunctional kids grow up.

I agree; oats and wheat are the sturdy-making foods of the hill folk, whereas corn is the pig-poop feed of the flatlanders. Living on flat land is stupifying anyway. There are less challenges, therefore it tends to produce lazy people.

I like your rationality.
I have the same terms in thinking about diets as well.

When is it that we had hydrogenation, bht, and high fructose corn syrup added in our diets to give us energy throughout the day?

Carl and Daybrown,

I'm not so sure I agree with your reasoning here, you're suggesting that individuals are adapted to certain foods based on where their ancestors lived, but it seems to me that moving into a different environment puts a slightly different pressure on the body to adapt, and it will. I suspect that the body isn't as rigid as what you are suggesting. Over time, I think people can change.

Let us not forget that enzymes break down oats, corn and wheat into the same thing. The end product is ions dissolved in solution, and they are used by the body to manufacture thousands of different types of molecules.

For instance: when humans finally exhaust the fisheries industry, which is happening now, individuals that are adapted to consume high qualities of fish will have to adapt to get the same types of nutrition from other sources, and the body can adapt to that easily.

individuals that are adapted to consume high qualities of fish will have to adapt to get the same types of nutrition from other sources, and the body can adapt to that easily.

This is ultimately true.
But are our adaptions always beneficial?

Perishable,

But are our adaptions always beneficial?

I would say our adaptations are not always beneficial. For instance: As I was saying earlier, many westerners have adapted to consume much larger amounts of acidic foods because they are choosing foods based on what tastes the best, and then they are getting addicted to those foods, and ignoring the alkaline choices that balance out the blood’s PH levels.

And as a result, even though the west has the most sophisticated medical system in the world, we also have the highest instances of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and so on. Basically, a large percentage of disease and illness is ultimately caused by an over consumption of acidic foods, while ignoring more alkaline ones.

Moreover, while analyzing the Canadian Food Guide I noticed that the scientists got it wrong there too – the recommended daily portions for adults is broken down as follows: 2 servings of meat, 2 servings of dairy, 6 serving of grains and 8 serving of fruits and vegetables. What they don’t tell you is that 75% of people are lactose intolerant to some degree, which is an indication that we are not properly adapted to drink cow’s milk. This guide was written to appease the dairy industry. Also, generally, meat, dairy and grains are acidic while most fruits and vegetables are alkaline, so the ratio for serving is 10 servings of acidic foods, and 8 serving of alkaline food, but the ratios are incorrect because your body needs to maintain a PH blood level that is slightly alkaline, which means that you should be consuming slightly more alkaline foods than acidic ones.

Ideally, the ratios should be as follows: Alkaline: 60% Acidic: 40% to maintain a blood PH level of around 7.3 (slightly alkaline) Also their numbers are too high, no one needs to eat that much food per day. If I had to rewrite the Canadian Food Guide, here is what I would recommend –

Meat (acidic): 1 or 2
Dairy (acidic): 0 or 1
Grains (acidic): 2
Fruits and Vegetables and some nuts (alkaline): 5
Water: 3 glasses.

So the ratios are more moderate and more alkaline, which is ideal: Alkaline: 5 servings + water, Acidic: 4 servings. IF you need anymore food than that per day, you must be a lazy slothful flatlander like Carl stated.

YMMV. Sure the gov may post a recommended diet. Which works for most people. Problem is, you are not most people, but an individual with your own biochemistry. Its why the drugs list possible side effects. They awta do that for food. One of the effects is a preference for whatever you get used to.

Alpha males use food as part of their identity. The Greenland Norse starved rather than eat like the Inuit, who they thot were ignorant savages.

I spoze there are some of us, descended from royal lines, that have been urbanites for centuries. But I was born on a farm, just the last of a line of yeoman farmers that goes back 10,000 years. And until the 20th century, rural/village origins were 90% of the population. Aint many of us well adapted to mass numbers.

Daybrown,

I spoze there are some of us, descended from royal lines, that have been urbanites for centuries. But I was born on a farm, just the last of a line of yeoman farmers that goes back 10,000 years. And until the 20th century, rural/village origins were 90% of the population. Aint many of us well adapted to mass numbers.

But is our biochemistry fixed or can it change? I say, parts of our biochemistry is fixed, but some of it is quite adaptable. For instance: if you suddenly started to eat a new type of food that you’ve never encountered before, then your body might have a hard time at first because if the food requires a certain enzyme that is in low supply then the digestion of that food will be sluggish and difficult. However, over time, the body can adapt to many of these changes. The body is like a factory, and it manufactures the necessary proteins based on what enters the body. So if over time, if you are consuming a different type of food, then the RNA in your cells will order the DNA to increase production of the particular enzyme that breaks it down, and over time your cells will become more efficient at producing the right enzyme for the new food. All the information is there in the genes, the RNA just needs to give the orders. However, if there are mutations in the DNA, or if the RNA isn’t functioning properly, then you will always have certain problems with certain foods.

However, it is more likely that certain genes for particular races are more active, while others are more dormant, but that doesn’t mean that they are permanently dormant, unless there is a mutation in that particular gene. But I believe mutations in protein encoding genes are probably the exception and not the rule.

YMMV Ryan. If you have kids, you get to experiment with them. Good luck. The bone middens, going back over 7000 years to Danubian villages, show over 100 wild plants and animals in the diet in addition to the many domestic species they raised. Similar variety was found in the stomachs of bog bodies 2000 years old.

And now we know how trace minerals- iron, copper, zinc, manganese, etc empower some of the 150 or so neurotransmitters to lay down new neural pathways during learning. We also know that plants absorb micronutrients, very complex compounds, from the biota in natural soils. All of which is missing in plants grown by agribusiness, which only doses the land with Nitrogen, Phophorus, & Potash. [that's a period] They do this to maximize the tonnage, and therefore the profit.

Moreoever, PBS FRONTLINE reported that veggies exposed to petrochemical herbicides and pesticides increas the level of phyto-estogen in the tissues. Which remains after processing removes many of whatever real nutrients might be present to maximize shelf life. Complex proteins oxidize, turn stale, so are filtered out. The FDA was not worried; they knew phyto-estrogen did not cause cancer. It'd been in use for years. Its what is in the birth control pill.

Course, if you raise little kids on a diet high in phytoestrogens, then you should not be surprised to see girls enter puberty at age 8, and- a whole generation of faggots. But because of the genetic diversity you refer to, white boys have an autism rate 3 times higher than black boys. That is, unless they are Amish boys- who are still raised on home grown veggies. Their autism rate is 1:15,000, less than 1% of the rate for other white boys. I dont think they have a lotta faggots either.

I know women in healthcare who have not had their kids vaccinated with the DPT shots that had mercury, which demographic data resulted in a more recent spike in autism. It'll be interesting to see what happens when litigation about that reaches the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Roberts has an autistic son.

The women I know dont supply nearly as much junkfood or fastfood. Course, this is the Ozark boonies, so fast food outlets are not convenient. Seeing that the national autism rate is advertised at 1:155, I called up an old friend, a small Ozark town school nurse to see how many autistic kids she had in school. "None". She went on to say that there might be one in the whole district of 4000 kids.

Course, those kids are all white. What you find in the black delta towns mite be different. Different gene pools evolved in different ecosystems that had different mineral profiles in the ground, and therefore in the local food. Its not upta us, so I guess we dont need to worry about it.

The Ozark women I know, mostly in education and healthcare, are aware of this, and have adjusted the diet they choose to raise their kids on. They dont argue with the parents who want to do it differently. Diet is a big part of ethnic identity and class consciousness. They dont feel they have the right to tell others how to raise their kids. But if take the time to surf, you'll find a lot of studies on this whose implications I find frightening, and explains a lot about how the public was stupid enough to put Bush in office.

I find that figure just has to be incorrect. Unless previously unclassified infant syndromes are all being called "autism" these days. That is saying there are over 1.9 million autistic Americans.

I got polio in 1946, and was removed from the company of normal kids at age 7 and put with freaks in hospitals and special schools until 8th grade. Over those years, I saw hundreds of them.

Spina bifida, retards, adactyle, hydroencephalic... you name it was there. Except- for autism. I didnt see an autism case til I was 23, and working at a residential treatment center in MPLS. I believe that in 1963, they had all 4 autistic kids in the entire city. Its not a matter of misdiagnosis; like spastics, the body language is a dead givaway, and I can spot an autistic kid from across a playground.

There is an ongoing, and worsening epidemic, and people do not want to think about why. That would involve thinking about the way their parents fed them, and what they are feeding to their own kids. Food is an integral part of cultural identity, and at the top of that list in modern culture is junkfood and fast food.

Course, autism is only one reaction. We also have the more obvious problem of obesity. But crime and drug addiction also increased, with different gene pools and different family lines having different reactions. The Jews have a remarkably high rate of autism, and most autistic kids are intrinsically very intelligent. You just cant motivate them. Were it upta me, at puberty, I'd try introducing the boys to whores like in the movie "Rainman". Sex has always been a powerful motivator for males.

But the establishment cant think about that either. The entire population is more neurotic, and the consumption of psychotropic meds has never been higher. Look at all the insane rants in the postings.

The diagnosis has been expanded from the body language to the DNA markers, and the neurological differences seen in brain scans. 24 markers found so far; 12 or more produces a very high, but not certain, risk of autism developing. And sometimes kids do grow out of it. It is a developmental phenomena.

Exposure to homeopathic levels of neurotoxins from pesticides can trigger it because the molecules are so similar to those neurotransmitters extract from food to employ in the laying down of new neural pathways. This is why the autism rate in the Yaqui Valley of Mexico, and the Hindu villages downwind of agribusiness cotton plantations in India dramatically rose. The financial loss and liability involved with this is so vast that the corporate mass media tries to keep a lid on it. The link to organo-phosphates is clear.

Autism is also sometimes triggered by viruses. If you surf the data from small rural schools, where the general level of infection is so much lower because the bug runs out of new victims before it can mutate into something else. you find the attendance rates run near 95% and the autism rate near zero. Hominids did not evolve in masses like the herbivores, but in small gene pools; Native Europeans in villages of 150-300 over the course of the last 10,000 years, Africans in tribes of 75-150 over much longer. Immune systems were not adapted to cope with the constant level of exposure to new pathogens.

The pathogens and the dietary contamination or deficit has affected the brain biochemistry, so autism, obesity, neurosis, depression, etc are all increasing as the schools keep on getting bigger.
