We've all heard these sayings:• "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”;
• "What comes around goes around”;
• “One person’s poison is another’s elixir."
There are also the corresponding phrases:
• "God is Love";
• "It's your Karma”;
• "You are what you eat.”
How many of us, however, truly engage ourselves in taking responsibility (response ability) for our life's choices and actions? Yet, our individual and collective co-relationships between belief (Mind) and biology (Heart) are the key ingredients for a healthy soul and spirit. And, these in turn are the functions for perfecting good health and lifestyle.
Whether we are responding as healthy or unhealthy beings, we are going to experience and express ourselves through actions and reactions to everything and anything. This starts with an internal process like diet and mirrors the external process through the way we perceive ourselves through others.
The saying “One person’s poison is another's elixir” and, correspondingly, the phrase “You are what you eat” hold a lot of truth. Joyous eating with "Divine" intent is the optimal way to start your day and sustain your energy. It's also the first step in a continual co-relating process between belief (Mind) and biology (Heart). As we take responsibility for ourselves, we change the world one healthy mouthful at a time.
Bon appetite!

Case in point: DIET SODAS. In Suzanne Somers' book, Breakthrough, Dr. Howard Liebowitz of Santa Monica, California says:
ReplyDelete"I consider diet soda a poison. There is nothing nutritionally sound in it. It's got artificial flavoring, artificial sweetener, artificial coloring. It's completely non-nutritious and it stresses the body, especially if you are consuming large volumes, because you are overwhelming your body's detoxification mechanism to get all these toxins out of your body. Eventually it's just going to burn out your adrenal glands and your immune system. Then there's the caffeine in diet sodas; people who are burned out (adrenals) use the caffeine in diet sodas and regular Coke as a stimulant. . .
"There's nine teaspoons of sugar in a can of Coca-Cola. Do you ever put nine teaspoons of sugar in anything?
"Diet soda doesn't have the sugar, but it has the caffeine. People with burned-out adrenals go to sugar and caffeine to get them through the day. I don't think you could do anything worse for yourself than drinking diet soda and Coke all day long."
In the same book, Dr. Russell Blaylock, author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, says this about aspartame ("Nutrasweet"):
"Two studies came out recently by one of the biggest cancer research institutes in the world, The Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Italy, and they used the largest number of rats ever used to test aspartame. Both studies were very carefully done, and they both showed an increase in cancer incidence from doses of aspartame equivalent to drinking diet sodas. Previous studies showed that aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde and formic acid, and when they put a radioactive tag on the aspartame to see what happens to it metabolically in the body, they found it not only broke down into formaldehyde, but the formaldehyde also attached to the DNA and caused multiple breaks in the DNA. . . what we call double-strand breaks and those are most associated with cancer induction. We also know that formaldehyde is very difficult for the body to remove from DNA. . .
"Aspartame is becoming a major addictive substance, and the health effects are absolutely profound. It should never have been approved, and it was approved over the objections of some of the major neuroscientists and toxicologists who served on the board of the FDA. They recommended that it not be approved, but it was approved over their objections for monetary reasons."
Add to all this the fact that sodas and diet sodas are sold in ALUMINUM CANS, and there's no reason to use Coke for anything other than to unclog a household drain. Aluminum is a heavy metal, and heavy metals affect the neurological system. As a matter of fact, Aluminum is being found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (i.e., nerve cells that have become bunched together and knotted).
To answer your question, I have been practising "Food as Medicine" for over 20 years. Yeah, you're preaching to the choir, but then you read auras. Perhaps you sense the need for a friendly reminder.
In my opinion, it all boils down to one simple precaution: Buyer beware!
Lately, I have been enjoying drinking roughly 1 part of Tonic water with Quinine, with 1 part Club or Seltzer water. No caffiene, little sugar, nice refreshing taste.
