Medical Model vs. Health Model (WAS: Oniony Benefits)

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet,

 

Yes, animal foods are identified in the major nutrition studies as THE

primary cause of most osteoporosis. All the sulfur in the flesh

(particularly the amino acid methionine), and the very heavy protein casein

that predominates in the milk of most large 4-legged mammals, so overload

the human body with acid that there is no physiological or metabolic

alternative other than to disassemble bones from the inside, out and then to

use the liberated material to neutralize acid.

 

I've scanned some of the comments about onions, garlic, and the like. I've

only met one person who ever stopped eating these for, say, 60 days, then

tried them again, and liked them AT ALL. In general, once we clear these

items from our system, our system then responds with the full force of its

vitality the next time we eat them.

 

Those people who sing the virtues of onion, garlic, etc. in terms of this

nutrient or that chemical are themselves completely rooted in the medical

model of health. They think in terms of symptoms and antisymptoms

( " treatments " ), with little or no regard for what may have caused any given

condition. They seek only to " cure " or " alleviate " or otherwise lessen the

condition. But the condition is a (set of) symptom(s), a response by the

human body to some already-present problem. Attempting to " get rid of " the

symptom entirely ignores the original problem. In fact, you'll rarely hear

such people devote a single sentence to discussing whatever the underlying

cause of the condition may be.

 

Until people cross over, one person at a time, from this way of thinking and

into another way, where we embrace, appreciate, and learn from our symptoms,

and where we create health from the inside, out, so that no treatments or

" special foods " are ever " needed " , then these people will continue

insistently in the same conversation. Those who genuinely comprehend

Nature's ways will simply nod politely and move on; those who do not

comprehend, who feel confused by all the " differing views " , lack a

foundation upon which to build a clear understanding of their own. We hope

that some will listen and learn how to create health from the inside, out,

so that no treatments are ever " needed " again.

 

It's been awhile since I shared here links to some of our free audio

programs, a gift of the Path of Health Community. For now, I'll mention two:

" Milk isn't the only food that boosts bone health. "

 

I understand milk to be a major culprit in osteoporosis.

 

Take a look here: www.notmilk.com

 

Good reading,

Okay then I am confused. You can look up anywhere the health benefits

of onion. You're saying they're no good? Why?

Sure, onions and garlic taste bad, and I think anyone only ever eats

them thinned out in a larger dish. Why would a veggie like that,

that's been eaten for what, thousands of years, end up being bad for

you? I don't think I agree, but would like to hear more from your side.

Perhaps I missed it, but I don't hear people speaking of symptoms

or conditions in the posts on onions and garlic to which you refer.

To general health and/or prevention, sure, but not of " getting rid

of " a symptom.

Ah yes, you the only true path; the rest of us are dolts!
