The Diet for Disease Remission

The Diet for Disease Remission A correct diet is only half the battle, the other half is correcting intestinal dysbiosis A Word of Advice: The books and diets presented here provide a wealth of information surrounding the appropriate diet that is absolutely essential for recovery and achieving optimal health. Your healing will be delayed if you choose not to follow a strict diet regimen. Your doctor may even lead you to believe that nutrition and diet is of little importance, but that could not be farther from the truth. Each of the diets presented here is uniquely different; some stress high protein / low fiber, while others recommend more fruits and vegetables. The common thread among each however is that carbohydrates are a problem food (grains in particular). They need to be eliminated, or closely monitored during recovery. I find its best to eliminate them completely as they can be tantalizing in small quantities. I followed several of the diets presented here for at least a month or more and have provided brief reviews of each. What I’ve found to be most effective is simple: Meat and vegetables, with limited consumption of fruits, grain, nuts and seeds, and that’s it. Nothing off a shelf, in a can or in a box. Keep it fresh, and feel free to experiment with the wide range of vegetables and meats available. Preferably grass-fed and organic if you can afford it. It is wise to thoroughly cook your meat and vegetable at first, as it will aid the digestion process (consider adding digestive enzymes). You should entirely eliminate nuts, seeds, and any high fiber foods until inflammation subsides as they can be highly abrasive (this could be several months). And don’t be afraid to consume fat- it’s good for you, despite what you’ve been lead to believe. There is plenty of evidence in the recommended literature to support that claim. This is where the bulk of your calories should come from: fat and protein. It is your bodies preferred energy source and is a great source of essential fatty acids, amino acids and other fat soluble nutrients. Especially if you’re dealing with a bowel disorder, fat and protein are absolutely essential for recovery. I would advise against heavy seasonings and spices at first as they can be irritating during acute inflammation. Do not be afraid to forgo sugar and carbs, as sugar is a non-essential dietary component. Your body manufactures all the glucose it needs when given sufficient fat and protein. This is a fact. This is the healthiest diet for mankind. If you disagree with me, then I suggest you take a look at some of the literature recommended here. The science is out there people. It’s an undisputable fact at this point; this is the diet of man, the diet for life. I encourage you to learn as much as you can by reading the literature presented here, do some of your own research and make the transition as soon as soon as possible. Everything we’ve come to understand about health and nutrition up to this point is ass-backwards. The last 30+ years we’ve been told to avoid fat and protein, and where has it gotten us? We now have epidemics in obesity, heart disease and diabetes (Life Without Bread). But can you blame us? The USDA’s food pyramid that’s been beaten into our heads since grade school is a disaster. The food we have available to us is in supermarkets such as Raleys, Winco or Safeway is nutritionally dead and we have fast food restaurants on every corner in town. It really doesn’t surprise me to see widespread autoimmune disorders and bowel disorders among increasingly younger age groups. We can figure out how to send astronauts to the moon, but for some reason proper diet and nutrition remains an utter quagmire. After all there’s no money to be made if everyone is healthy. One industry that’s continuously bustling despite the current economic downturn is the healthcare industry. Ever spend any time at a hospital? The staff is continuously overwhelmed. Busy, busy, busy. No money to be made from healthy people. Our healthcare industry is stressed to the max right now resulting in astronomical healthcare costs. If you want to minimize your time at the doctors office, then it starts with your diet and what you choose to put into our body. Its that simple. “Let thy food be thy medicine”
