Regimen - Confronting Leukemia

"Tieni cura del tuo corpo, and il tuo corpo terrà  cura di te." (Take care of   your body, and your body will take care of you)

  The regimen that I embarked on in March 2023 is descrbed on the following three pages:

  This regimen is self designed and it embodies my firm convictions, based on my life experiences, that: (1) Good vibrant health flows from good nutrition and lifestyle and not medicine; (2) If we eat a diet ideally suited for us individually we will stay healthy because diseases are due to  bad diets (MaleDiet) as discussed in the "Root of All Diseases" pages; (3) Our body has the "wisdom" to know what food is good for us and if we "listen to our body" we are able to tune our diets to be optimal for us individually as there is no "one size fits all" formula for the ideal diet because we are all "biochemically" different from each other and we all have different nutritional requirements (4,5). This important factor appears to have been completely neglected by our medical and nutritional professionals. Most likely, this is due to profit motives as it is much simpler to put everybody in the same box and treat everybody the same on the basis of averages. This is being catastrophic for the health of those further away from these averages.

  In the good old days, our ancestors were able to rely on taste, smell, appearance, and texture to help pick nutritious food. This is no longer true today because technology advances has given Big Food and Big Drink the tools to "doctor up" food and drinks to look, taste, and smell the way we like them. And so we end up eating and drinking a lot of "junk" that is destroying our health. If we want to stay healthy we have to invest time to prepare our own food in our own kitchens! It is the only way to know what we are eating. And we must remember that sugar is for "once in a while" treat and must not be eaten every day. Sugar is "White, Pure, And Deadly" (60).

   And why self designed? Because anybody out there giving advise on nutrition and lifestyles, or on anything else for that matter, need to spin their advice so that they can make a living for themselves directly or by promoting the products of their sponsors. It is a jungle out there! What is heavily promoted is not what is right but what makes money!  In other words, for those of us that want to stay healthy, we are on our own!

   Although I sympathize with the needs, and I respect the efforts of all of those "pounding the pavement" every day to make a living, I strongly disapprove of those that  strive to make money on the back of the health and suffering of other people. This is reprehensible, and should be punished by God and by our laws. Where are our government institutions that are supposed to be defending us?

   In the middle ages, people needed their warlords for protection from marauders. Today we sorely need "warlords" to protect us from the continual assaults to our health from Big Food, Big Drink, Big Sugar, Big Tobacco, and Big Pharma, just to name some of the bigger players.
