We Know When We Are Hungry, Thirsty and Tired But Not When We Need Exercise.

Nature has built in so many receptors in our body that we are almost faultless and self correcting. It is very difficult for anyone to simply die from hunger, thirst or lack of sleep.

Even self injury is very difficult because we have so many nerves to feel pain that it is very difficult to kill ourselves by injury unless we use some modern technology such as a firearm or a sharp instrument which we fall on. In order to kill oneself with bare hands one needs to withstand a lot of pain and most will stop the pain before death.

When we are dehydrated we get the message that we need a drink. When we are very hungry we get the message that we need food. When very tired we almost spontaneously fall asleep. Try to stay awake for several days and then remain awake in any position. It will be very difficult to stay awake, even in a standing or sitting position and during daylight.

Most people obey these built-in receptors and will get food when hungry, get a drink when thirsty and sleep when tired. The one receptor that is lacking is the exercise receptor.

How do we know when it is time to exercise? We have no lack of exercise receptors on our body. In fact some people are sedentary for years and years and even decades and there is no warning built into their body that it is long past time to exercise.

The evidence might show up in other ways such as obesity, lack of enjoyment of life, chronic and acute health problems, bones and muscles that are frail, inability to think clearly, and many other general problems.

These however are not always indicators of lack of exercise and can be confused with symptoms of other underlying problems.

Probably the reason why we have no lack of exercise indicator is because the lack of exercise is not an imminent threat to our life. I have never heard of someone dying from a sudden lack of exercise but there are many cases of people dying of dehydration, starvation and occasionally a lack of sleep.

There are certainly people who have died from a long term lack of exercise. These people might be on a very reasonable diet, sleep enough, drink enough and get the other essentials such as clean air, sunshine, positive thinking and relationships, etc. but they just live a totally sedentary life and their body just can not continue to survive without any exercise.

There are artcles online that go further into details on this cause of death. Usually the actual cause is listed as something other than lack of exercise but people can and in fact do die from a lack of exercise.

Since we do not seem to have any exercise receptors I suggest that everyone start a regular exercise program which they enjoy and can continue indefinitely. Jump around for 15 minutes every morning and evening. Ride a bicycle to school or work. Get new running shoes and run. Work in the garden. If it is winter then skate, ski or just shovel the snow.

What Foods are Most Difficult to Quit?

Foods are some of the most difficult things to break addictions to. Most people would say that drugs or love or some other behavior is most addictive but in reality foods are the most addictive.

In one of my previous posts I discussed opioids in foods and why they are so addictive. With this post I am updating that and giving out real world data which I have noticed.

I recently joined a community on one of the Islands in Hawaii. The members there are all supposed to be consuming a fresh, whole, ripe, raw and vegan diet. I have not spent a lot of time with the other members but I have already come to a conclusion of which foods are most difficult to give up.

Some people would think it was the ones containing opioids like dairy, breads and meat. I'm sure some of the members are partaking in these foods when they are off of the community property but there are other foods that each and every single member still consumes even while they are on the community property.

Which foods are they? Some people call these the excitotoxins, others call them condiments. The foods that seem to be consumed by every single member of the community are totally vegan, totally raw but also totally poison and dangerous to our health.

These are foods like garlic and all of it's relatives such as onions, spices, radishes, spicy peppers, ginger, etc. Not only do I see them physically consuming these foods but I can smell it on their body sometimes as long as 3 to 4 days after they consumed them.

Anything that your body spends several days trying to remove just can not be helping create better health. The body will not use so much precious energy to remove the toxin if it was alright for your health. There is just no way possible that these foods are good for our health.

The other reason which certainly indicates that these are unhealthy foods is that they all have a very strong and horrible taste. Give these foods to a newborn baby and they will reject them. Give them to a wild animal and they too will totally reject them.

Only people who are still addicted to these foods can still consume them. Once someone has created a healthy environment in their body they will also reject these foods and will no longer be able to consume them due to their terrible taste.

Everyone is a Protein Expert!

Most vegans, vegetarians, and of course lfrv dieters know full well the number one question received from SAD dieters is "where do you get your protein?"

It seems like the world is full of protein experts who are so sophisticated and educated that they have this very important question on their minds. They are so proud of themselves when they ask this question because they are certain it will stump the vegans and vegetarians.

It's never "where do you get your amino acids?" which by the way would be much more appropriate as the human body is not able to use whole proteins at all. The proteins must be broken down into the amino acids that they are made of.

In fact the majority of protein that the SAD eaters consume is nearly impossible to break down into it's component amino acids because the protein was cooked. Most of the bonds (a very difficult word for most SAD eaters) become more difficult to separate and the body is not equiped with the right enzymes and digestive juices to do the job.

The amino acids become fused together and the whole protein is unusable. This causes major problems for the body since the protein is no longer useful it must be eliminated by the body. The cooked proteins usually wind up in the colon where there are billions of tiny life forms who also try to break the toxic mess down into more useable components.

This toxic product is not a welcome food for the healthy bacteria in the colon so the bad or dangerous bacteria start to reproduce like crazy. These bad bacteria will eventually consume the toxic proteins but at the same time they produce some toxic products of their own. Some of these toxic products are carcenogenic to humans, which explains why so many unsuspecting SAD eaters eventually get colon cancer.

I would assume these SAD eaters would at least know that the protein that they eat is not helping them stay healthy at all. It is in fact hurting them. Of course not all of the protein they consume is sent to the colon, some of it leaks into the bloodstream through the digestive system. This is commonly known as "leaky gut".

When this unuseable deranged protein gets into the blood it can cause worse symptoms than if it stays in the colon. In the blood it is now seen as a pathogenic invader. The various immune systems in the body will react to the protein and start an attack. There will be a huge increase of white blood cells and many other immune cells to try to destroy this invader.

This can cause several acute and chronic problems, some of which are leukemia, allergies, lupus, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.

Of course these protein experts should have already known about all of this since they are self proclaimed protein experts.

The funny thing I found about these protein experts is that they don't seem to know the answer to one of the simplest questions I can think of in regards to protein. There is no mystery about this question at all, in fact it can be measured nearly any day and the results always come out the same. The question I have is: "how much protein is in human mother's breast milk?"

Not one of these protein experts ever knows the answer to that one. In fact that would be the first question on the protein expert exam. If you can't answer that unbiased and simple question about protein, then you probably have no right to ask another question with respect to protein. The protein experts who think they are so intelligent throwing out 'the' protein question can't even answer a truly simple question about protein. It's no wonder they call them SAD eaters!

La Vida What?

Not that anybody should have noticed but there is a blog out in cyberspace called Living La Vida Loca (which is translated to living the crazy life) but the author of the blog changed the last word to locarb, which is a terrific synonym to loca as the entire idea is beyond crazy, it's outright scary.

We all have heard of the locarb craze of the 1990's when Robert Atkin's diet was making headlines every day. The man died on April 17, 2003 from an accidental fall. There is speculation that his fall was related to a heart attack. Probably the reason why there is such speculation is because the man did in fact have a heart attack in 2002.

If a diet comprised of protein and fat is a healthy way to lose weight and thrive then it should not cause someone to have a heart attack. In fact Mr. Atkins was only 71 years old when he had the heart attack, which is still quite young considering he was very wealthy and had access to the top medical care and information. Most readers know that heart attacks are not a natural event for humans, all heart attacks that humans have are due to inappropriate lifestyle choices.

Basically the vast majority of followers of the Atkins diet disappeared after his death. Even the average person is intelligent enough to know that if the official creator and endorser of a diet has a heart attack and then dies one year later which some speculate was also related to a heart attack, the diet is worthless or even worse, very dangerous.

Even the Atkins corporation eventually went bankrupt. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2005. Obviously there were few fans of the Atkins diet left to keep the company afloat.

Few but not none. It takes a very hardcore believer to actually continue consuming a locarb diet after all the bad news about the diet was digested by the public. It really doesn't take much to fool some people but to fool all the people takes a really big lie. The big lie is now out of the bag and only the very ignorant and desperate followers are left standing.

That's where this blog comes in. The blog has articles that deceive the readers into thinking that there is some value to the Atkins or locarb diet. Even after the jury called the world population has come to the conclusion that a diet that is so high in protein and fat can never be healthy in the long run and causes health issues this blog is still standing trying to convince people of the exact opposite.

After decades of research into diet which has shown without a doubt that high fat diets of any kind are totally dangerous for humans these people seem to just ignore all the scientific proof and go on in their own little imaginary world. None of the adherants of the locarb diet are ever shown with their shirts off (if they are all you see are moobs). None are ever seen as athletes, none are ever in an advanced age but act and look as if they are much younger.

There are hundreds or even thousands of examples of thriving athletes who are vegan. There are hundreds of examples of thriving vegans who are in their advanced years and look like they are 30 years younger as well as act and feel like they are 30 years younger. I have not seen one example of anyone on the locarb diet in either of these sitautions.

Human nature is such that we want to do what we always do, which in most cases is live a very poor lifestyle and hear that it is a good thing from some authority. For example someone who sits in front of the television all day and eats pizza, potato chips and drinks beer wants to hear that his lifestyle is healthy, fully knowing that it is in fact the opposite.

This is human nature. These locarb diet stragglers, who are the few left standing are the same. They know that they are eating a very poor quality diet filled with high fat and low nutrients. They mostly feel like crap all the time because their body is existing on ketones. They have very bad breath due to their body converting fat into sugars to feed their starved cells. They seem to ignore all of these signs and continue to destroy themselves and while doing so they want to hear from someone that they are doing good for themselves.

This is where the blog fits in. It finds all of the fake science that the author and others make up and try to convince themselves that they are doing good.

Besides Mr. Atkins, there is another guy named Stephen Byrnes who was one of the leaders of the Weston A. Price group who also followed a similar diet to the Atkin's diet. He also died of a stroke when he was just 45 years old. The stubborn locarb folks claim that he had HIV or AIDS and the stroke was related to that and not to his diet. It really doesn't matter whether he died of AIDS or any other disease, strokes are in almost all cases tied to diet, no amount of excuses will convince people of anything else.

As time goes on and more of these locarb dieters get sicker and sicker, which is inevitable as the human body can't handle large amounts of fat and protein for more than about 20 to 25 years there will be a lot more evidence as to the benefits of the diet. I do not wish this fate on these people, no, not in the least but it seems like they wish it on themselves as they ignore all the facts and signs that things are not quite right.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that I have never seen a locarb dieter disclose their blood work results online so everyone can see what their health looks like(except the lipids profile). Not that I totally believe that blood work is very reliable but it does give some indication of how healthy one is and how likely they will continue to stay healthy. They never show the entire blood test results they just put up the LDL, HDL, triglycerides and other numbers related to fat, which in most cases are not in the healthy range.

None of these dieters will disclose their other results probably because they are so poor. I have seen so many vegans publicly disclose all of their perfect blood work results voluntarily that I have complete confidence that I don't need to even have myself tested.

Any Ideas How to Get Attention From Leaders?

The title of this post is a bit tongue in cheek. We all know that leaders are not looking to do things the right way or the most effective way. They are there to keep things the way they are because that's what made them leaders in the first place. This way they continue to profit from all of the goodies they get for being our leaders.

This includes more money than most of the rest of the world combined, power, fame, and recognition. Even bad publicity is still good in their minds.

It really makes no sense for them to care about changing anything which is a very sad sitaution. We all know that things really need to be changed and as soon as possible. We are just heading for some major catastrophes if we leave everything as it is.

All of us lfrv dieters know that our diet brings about a peaceful existence. It would change the world so much that most other problems would either be resolved on their own or wouldn't be very important.

The number one priority for every species on the planet is to find reasonable and abundant amounts of food for survival. If we begin using the foods that nature provided for us instead of creating Frankenfoods out of leftover waste from other manufacturing processes, we could stop hunger, reverse pollution, create beauty where there is destruction, create a sense of compassion for others, reverse nearly every known dis-ease, and have a sense of world peace instead of instability and war.

There are no prominent vegans or vegetarians who are leaders. Many wealthy artists, a few sports heros, one or two entrepreneurs are known to be vegan or vegetarian, but few if any powerful politicians are.

How do we spread the enjoyment that the lfrv diet brings to the leaders of the world? If you have any ideas please leave me a comment. I appreciate any kind of suggestion.

Does Everyone who is not Vegan not Know This or do They not Want to Know This?

After seeing video after video of how factory farming is performed, which is where about 90% of the meat, dairy and eggs that are consumed in North America comes from, I needed to ask myself if people who consume these foods are either happy that they contribute to this or are unhappy about it but they are so addicted to the food that they can't change or that they are just plain ignorant of it and believe that the foods come from a family farm where the animals are treated well and then somehow mysteriously they turn them into food.

What I am talking about are videos like Earthlings and this meat video. Even if people haven't seen videos like this, there are countless news articles about factory farming and PETA public announcements as well as undercover videos that surface every once in a while.

Do the 99% of the population that consumes foods that are derived from animals, as well as supporting the other forms of cruelty such as wearing their skins, watching them on television, in the movies, in circuses, etc. and supporting the testing of products on animals all want to be accomplices in this terrible cruelty?

To me this is similar to the German public during the days that lead up to the second world war. Terrible attrocities were being done to their fellow men and women who not only were the same species as they were but were the same nationality, spoke the same language, sent their children to the same schools, lived on the same streets, and worked in the same companies in some cases. Some just turned their heads to it all, some were aggressively helping in the cause and a few, very few indeed tried to do something to help stop it.

This seems to mirror exactly what exists today except instead of these things being done to our same species we now do these to other species. These species are not some aliens from outerspace, they are all extremely similar to us humans. Every one of them feels pain, every one of them has instincts and knows when they are in danger, they all suffer from neglect, they all want to live and enjoy the simple life they were evolved onto the planet to live. These living, breathing and feeling members of our planet's society just want to live the way they are supposed to live, in the environment that was meant to sustain their lives, they want to care for their young and enjoy their natural foods.

In fact most of the animals that we humans use for food are not even carnivorous. We tend to eat animals that do not attack us, we tend to eat animals that do not have sharp teeth, or that can easily just fly away. Most of the animals we have chosen to use for food are in fact quite defenseless and dependent on our trust. We are using that trust to our advantage and we feed them and shelter them just so that we can use their dead carcass when we feel their carcass will bring in enough money.

Back to the original title of this post. Can it be that the 99% of the population that choses to consume these animals and their body fluids do not know the attrocities that they are accomplices to? I doubt it, just as the German population turned their heads to what was going on in Nazi Germany, these people simply turn their heads to this.

They just totally ignore the ideas concerning the derivation of their food and see the food as some products that are created by someone else. They don't want to know where they came from. They see everybody doing the same as they do so it has to be the right thing to do.

Obviously some of these people really enjoy causing pain and suffering to another being. They secretly wish to inflict pain to their fellow humans but since that could lead to some severe consequences and inflicting pain and suffering to other species is not only legal but encouraged they choose the latter.

These people are the ones who are employed at the factory farms and slaughterhouses throughout the nation. Others engage in a sport that they call hunting, or fishing. Some use traps to capture their animals, some will simply use some sort of weapon like an automatic rifle to just kill for no reason. Many will just kill animals in the forest and leave them there. They wanted no more than to cause the animal to suffer and watch them die. Some use poisons or elecricity to kill.

The rest of the people who are accomplices in all of this cruelty are just as guilty as the ones actually performing the deeds. They just plead that they did not know about it and go on.

As everyone who understands natural hygiene knows, the people who consume these foods are not only guilty of the attrocities against our fellow earth-mates, but they are in turn causing attrocities against themselves. They constantly consume foods that are incompatible with their own body. Many of them suffer with great acute and chronic illnesses.

After so many decades of these terrible attrocities, isn't it about time we stopped and created a win-win situation for everyone? If these people would simply adopt a vegan lifestyle they would stop hurting themselves and our loving earth-mates. There are countless other problems that will simply disappear when people adopt a vegan lifestyle, these include the cessation of man made global warming, the destruction of our planet's resources, and many other problems.

Organically Grown?

It seems like the term organically grown is a new trend. I get advertisements every Tuesday from the mailman in my mailbox. Usually they go directly into the recycle bin but once in a while I flip through them. Recently I see a new trend.

Many stores and restaurants are using the word organic in their advertising. I see some businesses advertising foods that are organically grown. These foods are not necessarily fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts or seeds but most often they are processed foods such as pancake mixes, slices of animal flesh, or processed dairy and or egg products.

First of all, the term organic is a relatively recent invention. It was coined in the late 1930s when the world of agriculture had turned to using the leftover products from the war for crop production. Prior to that time most every crop was already organic.

Organic really implies that the food was raised without artificial pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers and other products that have a direct affect on the food. This doesn't mean that the crop is totally raised naturally but that the 'cides that are used on the crop are of an organic nature.

I saw an ad in a magazine that was advertising wine. The top of the ad said that prior to 1945 everything was organic. Wine is not a food or a drink that is really important to the nutritional state of humans so it's not really important if wine is organic or not since it is already a poison. It doesn't matter if a poison was created in a less poison environment because it can't really get less poison than poisonous.

The other foods certainly do make a difference. Unfortunately when dealing with processed foods or animal foods, organics really loses most of it's meaning. The idea behind organics is to have food that is as close to the way nature would have created it in the first place.

Processed food and animal products are already foods(?) that have been modified from what nature provides for humans and therefore using the term organic to describe them is not really in the spirit of the intention of the term. In these cases it is more being used as a marketing term and not a term to describe how close the food comes to being grown in nature.

In general when I select foods to consume I will opt for the organic version as often as is practical. When the price is totally outrageous for the organic variety for example of blueberries I will either pass on them or occasionally I will opt for the conventional variety. A good compromise is buying from the farmers at the local farmer's markets who assure me that they do not use any pesticides on their produce.

These methods are acceptable to me since I feel the pesticides used on the plant are more likely to cause problems with my health than the fertilizers, which the plant can 'choose' which part of them it needs and which it doesn't need. Plants will naturally grow roots towards the minerals and organic products it needs in the ground and away from the products it doesn't need or which can be harmful to the plant.

The most important point I wish to make in this post is that we actually need to seek out and pay extra for organic foods these days while from the beginning of time until about 1939 or so there was nothing but organics available for our consumption. Does this make any sense? Why isn't it the other way around and we grow everything organic and take a small percentage of the food and grow it in a 'conventional' way and charge extra for that? Doesn't that make more sense? If people take a liking to toxins in their food grown in an extremely unsustainable way they should be able to choose these but to force this on the entire population is outrageous.
