Hi Lorenzo,

 

Thanks for this posting. No one can ever accuse you of not following Dr.

Budwig. I have known this for a long while as have others. It has to be a

misunderstanding...Your postings are well recieved, as as I have stated in

the past, I look forward to them because they are informative and right to

the point. While I have not followed this thread 100%, I know the key

people`s contributions, and respect everyone`s views as do most list

memebers, I`m sure. Solet`s put a lot in perspective and use these

discussions to improve evryone1s health. Having said that, here are my

views...

 

A brief Historical view point on what has happened to the human race and why

we are having this discussion.... and, a lot of health problems, with a view

for better clarity . I feel it is not only important for our basic

understanding of Dr. Budwig, but vitally essential....It`s very basic

stuff...and my apologies to those who find this simplistic or

boring....Thanks.

 

1.Basically, everything you have said, Loenzo, is absolutely correct and

not too difficult to understand, once people realize that our present

compostion in Genes and DNA etc, go back millions of years and not just

these last fifty or one hundred years. Our Egoes are too BIG....We are what

our ancestors were and what they have passed down to us in our body

makeup. It is inconceivable that " Scientific minds " can change our

compostion or what our body naturally craves and needs in order to survive.

These so called " Pseudo Scientists " have done a good job of confusing us and

misleading us reference nutrition and health....IMHO. This has been said

over and over by many equally scientifically minded people who study

Anthropology, Biology( Plants and animals), Biochemsitry, etc. You have

alluded to this nicely in the past and now in today`s message.

 

2. The Agriculural Revolution, (10,000 years ago), ushered in the age of

great food changes for the present day " Homo-Sapien " family, moving from

the so called hunter-gatherers ( nuts, legumes, berries, fruits, wild-life

meat, etc.) practices of 70+ million years ago to raising grains,

domesticated cattle and agri-food. Biologically we have not been able to

make the transition physiologically/anatomically/ in our genes[or any

other -ically words!] to cope with this " new " Agri-Revolution of 10,000

years ago! The story gets better...or worse!

 

 

3. The Industrial Revolution (1750 to 1950) brought about even a greater

change in our eating patterns as people left the farms and worked long hours

in factories. Food was bought via money or in exchange for work, instead of

eating " what was raised or grown " . No longer was food taken from a garden

picked only several hours prior, but now all kinds of businesses sprang up

to support the " workers in factories " . More people started to leave the

farms for the cities which sprang up in the 1800`s and early 1900`s, and,

especially with the mass movement of military personnel in World One and

later in World War Two. Now the modern social-economic-health problems

began. Keep in mind that this is when " Science' started to get a new

respectable lease on life, and when " allopathic medicine " was finally

victorious over the Homeopathic/Alternative doctors who were prevalent

until 1935...About the same time, the Food Processors " sank their teeth " in

the food marketing process, and Hydrogenating oils /and partially

hudrogenated oils ushered in the " Dead Food Era " ...in the early 1900`s. Read

Dr. Budwig`s account of this for a thorough understanding..Pharmaceutical

companies sprang to the economic fore with the advent of penicillin and

wonder drugs...and World War Two.

 

4. In the 1950`s a new man made danger to food and health was invented and

that is the advent of the " Fast Food Revolution " which paralleled the

" Electronic Revolution. " The Junk Food that many of us and our children grew

up on is part of the " Dead Food Revolution. " Eat dead food and our cells

become what we eat. " The Electronic Revolution is having a negative effect

,too, by offering the seductive electronic gadgets such as T.V., Computers,

Jet Airplanes, etc. It`s all too fast for the slow Homo Sapien group that

was meant to amble along gathering whatever...Yes, even our list members are

trying to over come the lack of exercise by " rebounding, taking walks, or

getting out in the sunshine " , things diametrically opposed to the " Life of

Ease " that modern day home appliances are meant to do. (Consider washing

machines, vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens (uggggh...), yes, even

Blenders/juicers etc...The Hydrogenated oils are hidden from our health

news, by many including those responsible and entrusted with our health...

 

5. Today, Cancer, Heart Infarction, Diabetes, Arthritis and many other life

threatening diseases are upon us. When one adds the unnatural medical

practices of surgery, chemotheray, radiation, drugs (legal), and the like to

alcohol, illegal drugs, GMO foods, long night life/artificial lights,

processed foods etc., is it any wonder that there are so many " sick " people

in the world, especially in the USA?

 

It all comes down to what we eat, how we view nature, what we are willing to

do to get " unwell " and what we have to do to stay in line with what our

bodies want and need. We don`t need the " hype " from the " Idiot Box " or from

" politically correct " indoctrination. We need Natural Foods, Good Exercise,

Great Subshine, Clean air, and Clean Water, etc...

 

In other words, we have to " Slow Down " a bit and look to the past if we want

to have a " Future " ...Lorenzo, this is how I see it and the course I have

elected to try to follow. Is it hard to do? " Yes " , and " No " . Once someone

makes up his/her mind to do it, the course of action is put into place and

experiencing the joys of tasting " real food " begins....many people have

never actually tasted " real food " ...Now is the time to start...

 

With respect to Dr, Budwig and the " Caveman Diet " , the one big difference I

see, is that Dr. Budwig is a vegetarian, but allows " meat. just to be kind "

to those who can`t give it up. I will not go into the merits of her

argument, but will say that Range Fed Cattle is certainly better than

" Artificailly fed cattle. " Fresh water fish is " miles " better than " Farm

raised fish " , and Free Range Chickens (and eggs) seem to be better than

" Artificially Forced Fed Chickens. " It`s all a matter of personal choice.

 

Lastly, Lorenzo, I consider myself a " moderate fundamentalist " with regards

to Dr. Budwig`s Protocol . This term is a misnomer because I like the taste

of good food which is the food pattern suggested in Dr. Budwig`s

recommendations...and I only wish that I could follow her 100% " . My

travels don`t always allow this, but I do my best. Spiritually, I realize

how " small " man is and I give thanks that we all have been exposed to Dr.

Budwig...A time will come when she will be given the great credit which is

deserved by her. As you say, she " discovered the reasons for overcoming

illness [paraphrased], even if the Germans had been using a type of

combination of Flaxseed Oil/Quarklike mixture for several hundred

years " ...It`s like the English " Curds and Whey, eh? " I can`t believe all

Germans ate it, nor all the time, but it`s Dr. Budwig [ with her great

Bio-Chemical /studious mind] who gave the formula real dimensions...for all

those wanting good or better health.

 

I don`t think that Wilhelm is " an enemy " , rather he is a true friend who

" calls ''em like he sees 'em " . You do, too, so let`s get back on track. We

all follow Dr. Budwig`s Diet most of which actually goes back millions of

years except for the " grains, the champagne, meat, and anything else I left

out! " It`s all a matter of choice...or degrees or survival instinct....By

the way, this is not pessismistic, Hope, only realistic!!! Ciao for now, and

good health, good researching, good eating, and good luck to all list

members, Mike Cinelli

P.S./ E..O. A.[Errors and Omissions Allowed!] Ciao again, Mike Cinelli
