Meats, Poultry, Eggs

Lean beef: grass fed, antibiotic free, hormone free, trimmed of fat

flank steak

ground beef

check steak

grass fed beef contains more omega 3 fatty acids and is less contaminated with hormones and pesticides

Chicken and turkey trimmed of fat

eggs: omega 3 eggs, free range 1 egg is 62% fat, 25 gm protein

Calf liver contains a lot less environmental toxins

wild game meat: venison, elk, buffalo

Fish

Avoid large fish which may contain too much mercury

Avoid farm fish usually know as Atlantic salmon

Fresh fish is best

trout

cod

haddock

walleye

red snapper

bass

bluefish

northern pike

halibut

mackerel

sole

anchovy

perch

Shellfish

very high in lean protein

clams

lobster

oysters

shrimp

crab

mussels

scallops

If there is an allergy please avoid these foods

Nuts

Except for walnuts, nuts contain too much Omega 6 which is know to contribute to inflammation. Enjoy a few nuts but use them sparingly

Seeds

flax seed

hemp seed

sesame seed

pumpkin seeds

sunflower seeds

Oils

Good choices for cooking oils include olive oil and avocado oil because they do not oxidize during cooking

Oils for salads

flax seed oil

walnut oil

avocado oil

olive oil

peanut oil and soybean oil contain too many lectins

Sweetners

Xylitol

Stevia

It is important to use sweetners sparingly.

Note:

Once you have become disease free it is important not to drift back to your old patterns of eating which caused the disease in the first place. This way of eating is a life shift that will continue to improve your health and reduce your risk of repeating chronic conditions such as heart disease, cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases which afflict 70% of our population.

Cellular Circulation and Omega 3

According to Dr. Rosedale what is important in cellular circulation is what goes into the cells and what comes out of the cells. It makes no difference what gets to the cells. It's what gets into the cell that is crucial. What is it that enhances cellular circulation? It is Omega 3.

A study was done on a breed of cats that were genetically susceptible to cancer. These cats were fed a high amount of Omega 3 fatty acids plus iron. Antioxidants such as vitamin E or vitamin C were not used in this study. Here is what was discovered. The high omega 3's shrunk the tumours to nothing because the cancer cells were exploding from getting oxidized so rapidly. The omega 3 increased cell fluidity so that the O2 could rapidly get into the cells thereby causing rapid cancer cell apoptosis.

Dr Rosedale claims that because we are a sugar society we all have diabetes in one form or another.. If that is true and we know sugar feeds cancer than we are also all candidates for cancer. It's only a matter of time before each one of us becomes diagnosed with cancer. It's been said it takes about 10 years for cancer to develop in our bodies. We need to direct our attention to eliminating sugars and carbohydrates. Dr Rosedale states there are about 56 essential nutrients that stem cells require for healthy cell replication and grains and sugars don't contain any of them.

Sugar is very toxic. When you consume sugar your body burns it instead of burning fat. Your body's desired fuel is fat not sugar. Without Omega 3 your cells do not breathe and the insulin cannot enter the cells to burn the sugar. The cells become insulin resistant. Then the insulin forms saturated fat which leads to clogged arteries, obesity and decreased cell circulation.

It must be recognized that omega 3 fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through food sources. Not all Omega 3’s are the same. According to Dr. Cordain for an Omega 3 to have an impact on cellular circulation it must have the three types of fatty acids which are ALA, EPA and DHA. Furthermore it is important that the Omega 3 capsule contains a ratio of at least 30:15 EPA to DHA. For significant cell circulation to occur Dr Cordain recommends at least 5 , 1000mg capsules a day of Omega 3 .

Cancer is Not Genetic

According to Ron Gdansky “Knowledge gives us power. Fear of the unknown allows us to be led and abused. Information in this book can guide us in preventing and treating cancer effectively with or without chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. The key to understanding cancer is recognizing and accepting that cancer cells are simply fungal infected normal cells. If you are diagnosed with cancer, think, “I have a fungal infection. It's not a life threatening disease if you take the correct actions to eliminate the causes. If all you do is treat symptoms, it becomes a life threatening disease.” quote Ron Gdansky.

Another key to understanding cancer is to eliminate the concept of “cancer is genetic” from your thought process. There are no known genetic defects ever associated with cancer. Genes do not control their own mitosis or reproduction. The only mechanism known to initiate mitosis in mature human cells is current-of –injury. The current-of injury process begins when there is a need to repair damaged cells. Cells do not suddenly decide to multiply on their own accord. Cancer is not as a result of a defective gene theory .Genetic defects in cancer cells result from fungal integration into the stem cell line during the process of cell replication for the purpose of repairing an injury and that process alters the genetic chromosomes of the cells. There are no genetic defects that cause cancer. The defects occur because of cancer.

Now it is certainly possible to be born with certain genetic weaknesses which can effect the functions of the organs and glands of the body. Such weaknesses cause these organs to be vulnerable to injury from various sources including stress, heavy metals, toxicity, infections, candida, nutritional deficiencies and so on. Once the current-of-injury is set up with a lack of nutrients for injury repair, a congested lymphatic system , a sufficient sugar content , a drop of oxygen levels to below 35% then these genetically weak organs are easily infected by fungus and cancer is the result.
