Dr Oz’s Colonic Polyp
In September of 2010 medical talk show celebrity Dr Mehmet Oz was found to have a colonic polyp Since polyps can be premalignant Mehmet was shocked(healthy guy who tries to be healthy by matter science standards) and understandably grateful that his profession prevented a possible malignancy from occurring
It was heralded as a significant event not only as colon cancer prevention but once again showed the matter science medical model's authentic value at finding disease in it's earliest stage
Screening Works
We may remember another celeb then President Ronald Reagan's colonic history in the 1980's He showed a couple of polyps in 1984 and 1985 which were removed with screening endoscopy
But then a muscle invading tumor in the cecum was removed in July 1985 after the polyp was removed in March 1985
Thereafter Reagan had no recurrence of polyps Screening colonoscopies have had an unprecedented impact on the late stages of colonic cancer just as PSA has had an impact on the discovery of prostate malignancies
Bad Luck Or Something Else
How do healthy guys like Oz and Reagan come up with colonic polyps?
"Heck everybody is going to get their turn Something's bound to turn up" The natural "bad luck" response would be appropriate to engage And even the energy science medical model would not dispute that sometimes predisposition to disease can happen
But the energy science medical model would also say that nutritional choices have to be factored into the causes of poor bowel health including the occurrences of polyp disease
Early Detection Versus Prevention
The article mentioned above ends with hoping for a "Dr Oz Effect", the author suggesting that screening colonoscopies are the panacea to preventing colon cancer
But is this really prevention?
Prevention implies that by so doing a test or procedure we prevent disease I don't think even MD's believe that Prevention from the matter science medical model can at best do early detection
The reason for this is that the biologic matter science model doesn't deal with the origins of disease Researchers believe that they get close with the understanding of molecular biochemistry but in the end their biologic model will never be able to get to the origin of diseases
The energy science medical model deals with the origin of disease which occurs at the level of the GI tract and 4 stages before it becomes manifest as a polyp in Dr Oz and Reagan's colon

My Plate – The Nutritional Mainstream
The USDA recently revamped the public nutritional roadmap replacing the much maligned pyramid with a plate
And while the plate removes some criticisms about the pyrimid it still raises in my mind the efficacy of nutritional advice in general
The Need for a Standard
Throughout human history there has always been the need to create standards by which a group operates whether it be nutritional science or any science for that matter
The standard creation allows us to move along and build on our past data base
No doubt the well meaning need for a standard in nutrition for its citizens provided by the government agencies is helps the question is whether it adds anything to our current knowledge base
Or is it the same food just served up with a different appearance?
Information In Information Out
The current system of nutrition on which we premise our information sees the mindbody and the foods we ingest as molecular or matter based
In order for us to make any meaningful movement toward a better nutritional system of health is to try to explore other ways of seeing biological systems
Otherwise it's just business as usual The same information with the same spin Nothing new Samo Samo
If we keep looking at the biological world as molecular then we'll get molecular answers
It's the 21st Century Folks!
Hello! One hundred years ago Einstein said E=mc2 yet our current biological model and its proponents insist on this current matter science biological model that continues to look at the foods that it consumes as molecular as well
Just as physics was stuck in Newtonian thinking in the 19th century until Einstein and a cohort of pioneers brought us forward out of medieval physics thinking, our current biological model is woefully stuck in 20th century thinking utilizing its matter science moleuclar thinking
It's time for us to move our biological model into the 21st century into a way of seeing ourselves as energy fields as well as matter fields
My Plate Or A Qualitative Energy Science Nutritional Approach
The rehashing of a moelcular nutritional model is not an advancement of knowledge but rather the establishment of the status quo
Nutritional experts see no reason to rock the boat Move along with same tired worn out manipulation of knowledge blocks and make it through another lifetime patronizing the masses
But it is time for some to explore and find that an energy science nutritional approach can add immeasurably to the current molecular nutritional model
The Challenge for All of Us
Of course just becasue a standard is written for the citizens by a government agency means anything
People are going to eat what they eat and hang My Plate
So in the end My Plate becomes an exercise in futility with millions spent to promote an idea that nobody cares about except those who prefer to take pot shots at it
What we can do is begin our own journey in improving our nutritional health by embarking on new frontier that will not disappoint you

The Price of Fast Food
An infographic that appeared recently shows the tremendous growth that has been going on over the last 50 years
It's interesting for a number of reasons but to me the most salient aspect is that fast is getting faster
Movement Is IN
The term "fast food" actually says it all We are "on the run" and need that food FAST
The visual I like is the runner in some form of race cruising by the water station, handed a paper cup of water It's enough to wet the mouth He quickly downs the water, throws the crumpled cup on the ground amidst all it predecessors, and moves on down the road FAST
Now move to the kitchen Mom brings in the pizza that she just bought at the pizza station The family members quickly down the calories, burp, and move on to evening activities FAST
The Energy Science Qualities of FAST
FAST has the qualities of cold, light, movement, rough, subtle, and clear
To counteract these vibrational frequencies we look for hot, heavy, stable, oily, gross, and cloudy These qualities are found in fast foods in the form or sweet, sour, and salty tastes
Unfortunately these qualities bring about imbalances in 80% of us when consumed on a regular basis and those that could should do 1-2 times per week
The Consumer NOT the Food
The energy science nutritional model tells us that it's the one consuming the foods that causes the weight gain NOT the food
If the qualities of the foods are not conducive to the person's mindbody makeup then imbalance results
Imbalance produces the weight gain NOT the calories from an energy science approach
But since this infographic is a matter science study of $ and calories we in the end are forced to the conclusion that its the calories and portions that lead to the obesity
And no one would argue that the obesity problem leads to all other problems of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome etc
Overeating and Quality of Foods
From our infographic there are two things that can be derived We foods that are not balancing for our mindbody makeups and we eat too much
Three things to take home
Biggest meal at noon no matter what
Eat two handfuls at each meal
Eat according to your own mindbody makeup

How to Cultivate Great Digestion Like a Teenager
"I can eat anything and as much as I want NO problem!"
We may have heard friends when we were young relate that they had the proverbial "cast iron stomach"
But Wait!
Our friend, we should say, COULD eat anything but as the years go by the "cast iron stomach" melts
There occurs days of reckoning where what once was strong digestion is no longer the case
Nature catches up eventually and the good ole days are of the past The mindbody and its digestion can no longer handle the abuse
Cast Iron Redefined
What happened? How does the mindbody capitulate to what's being done to it?
We won't find the answer from the current matter science medical model since its concept of digestion is molecular
But the energy science medical model has a lot to say about digestion since it is the key to optimal health
"What?" From an energy science view how we chose and handle our external environment(foods) is predictive of our health Makes sense, doesn't it? If we ingest foods or experiences that don't bring about balance and disrupts digestion(chocolate or divorce or a debilitating relationship), then eventually our mindbody system becomes weaker and our health suffers
The Key to Optimal Health
Sooo...my friends our friend back in our teenage years was indeed able to devour anything and not be affected
Why? His digestive fire was "over the top" with so much power that the furnace would burn any and everything
But as with any gift if abused and not nourished it becomes less appreciated and goes away Hence it is with our digestion and its power
Like a campfire the digestive power with so many wet logs eventually weaken the gift which then labors and struggles
Signs of Strong Digestion
There are cues that can tell us whether our digestive power is good
Appetite is strong and balanced
No bloating, gas after eating
No acid indigestion
Stool pattern is regular and daily
How to Cultivate Strong Digestion Like a Teenager
The website foodsheal.com can give you some insights into this but to summarize:
Eat according to your mindbody constitution
Use a churan with cooking and at the table
Use a probiotic on a regualar basis
Warm water not ice
Eat when calm not with emotional turmoil
Eat occasionally in silence
Then you too can have that cast iron stomach!

Sweetness and Acid Indigestion
If we're really hungry, so hungry that we'll just about eat anything, there is nothing better than the sweet taste Reach for the Snickers or any refined sugar and whew! relief
Some of us may not have experienced this kind of appetite but I bring this up because from an energy science nutritional view it shows how the qualities of hot and cold work
Hot and Hungry
The appetite carries the hot quality When we get hungry from an energy science view our GI tract is hot and ready for the experience of food and the mindbody says, "Feed me, feed me!"
If the mindbody and the GI tract is more in balance, there is not this raging appetite that can't wait but when the Pitta energy pattern is out of balance, the hot appetite is the result
This qualitative or energetic expression of appetite can be quite helpful for some when confronted with trying to curb appetite that gets out of control and results in overeating
The Cold of Sweetness
As I said earlier our ally to this hot quality is the vibrational frequency pattern of sweet
This is because this pattern has the cold quality This counteracts the hot and calms the mindbody physiology
The sweet taste is found in dairy, lean meats, grains, and unrefined sugars such as turbinado and sucanat
Foods as Medications
When the excess hot quality becomes over the top in the GI tract symptoms such as diarrhea, hemmorrhoids, and acid indigestion with gastroesophageal reflux can occur
A recent study from a gastroenterology unit in France recently reported that surgery and pills were equally effective in dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)
That's a nice observation but my question is, "What about staying away from the hot quality carried by foods that have the sour and salty tastes and continually provoke the stomach in the first place?"
Misled By an Incomplete Biological Model
If we continue believing that we are a collection of molecules then we will come up with such studies that deliver mechanical or pharma solutions for our problems
But if we entertan a more complete way of seeing ourselves as energy fields as well, then we can consider the above solution to GERD, namely staying away from the complex energy patterns of sour and salty
What To Do?
We can go a long way toward creating a healthier GI tract by choosing foods that bring us balance
Whether we experience GERD really doesn't matter The challenge for all of us as we move through life is to cultivate balance
And the primary way to do that or turn things around is to choose foods that are supportive of our mindbody makeups by going to foodsheal.com
