Radio Inter­view with Dr. Cor­dain author of the Paleo Diet

I recently came to appre­ci­ate how much grains had an impact on my health after stray­ing from our diet on a few occa­sions with desert when we went out for din­ner. Both times I strayed the arthri­tis in my neck flared up within a day or so in a very notable way. This is the same arthri­tis that I was told would lead to fus­ing my ver­te­brae together within 5 years of my diag­no­sis. That was three years ago. I guess we will see where I am in another two years.

The dam­age to my neck has already been done through years of abuse with my diet. The dif­fer­ence now is that the chronic pain no longer exists.  Three years ago the pain was high enough that I almost did the surgery for relief. This is one instance that I am glad I procrastinated…

I have often strug­gled with how to put the basics of what I have learned into a sin­gle post. I think the new page on helo­fuud is the clos­est I have come so far with­out writ­ing a full on the­sis. If you are look­ing for some rapid changes to your health and weight this plan will help get you there. If you aren’t in a hurry you can spread out the time frame to fit your own per­sonal goals too.

Always con­sult a physi­cian before start­ing a new eat­ing plan. (I really hate that I even have to put that there)

I am often asked to pro­vide a list of (click here->) the foods we eat and do not eat. Here is that list.

I am sure I have omit­ted some things but the major foods are there. It may seem extreme but it really isn’t. It is a lit­tle chal­leng­ing at times only because the bulk of mass pro­duced foods are not tai­lored to this lifestyle.Even so, it is quite easy to stick to once you under­stand the effects that cer­tain foods have on your health.

If you are inter­ested, do a lit­tle research. I did. It is no coin­ci­dence that this lifestyle is a com­mon choice amongst can­cer patients. It is easy to see why when you start tak­ing a close look at what is in the foods you are eating.

A friend sent this link to me and it is absolutely worth re-posting. I will say it just one more time: If we stopped pay­ing farm­ers to grow corn with our tax money, they would grow some­thing much bet­ter than corn. Any­thing would be bet­ter for that mat­ter. Okay, well maybe not Soy either. No soy and no corn would be bet­ter. I will stop now.

The Real Rea­son Why Poor Peo­ple Are Fat

Warn­ing: The sec­ond pic­ture in the post is going to catch you by surprise.

A friend sent this link to me about a 14 year study demon­strat­ing  a link to pan­cre­atic can­cer and soft drinks. While it would be easy for me to jump on the band­wagon as an ex-soft drink junkie (we are the worst), and it would be easy for me to say “I told you so!” I can­not in good con­scious do that here.

D0 soft drinks cause pan­cre­atic cancer?

While the data seems pretty con­vinc­ing, the study also sites four other stud­ies done pre­vi­ously that did not show a link. The per­cent­ages also seem oddly high to me, enough that it makes me ques­tion the data and its accu­racy. con­tinue reading…
