STEERING CLEAR


STEERING CLEAR

It is so common and so universal in our society to maintain an unhealthy diet that it has almost become the norm but it is necessary if you are considering a diet to lose weight to begin with eliminating unhealthy and downright dangerous so-called foods from your diet.


For a good example,  hotdogs are something we all love in one way or another . Put on that mustard or ketchup, sauerkraut, or chili, cheese, onion and you have yourself a real treat. What you don’t know may hurt you, compromise your health and lead to very serious conditions, one of which is Leukemia in children.


As in my previous messages, I have tried to point out the fact that the toxins used to preserve foods and make them so tasty convert an otherwise healthy food.to an unhealthy one in your diet. As you know, an intoxicated person does not act normally. After a period of time, it will wear off but if repeated consistently, the internal damage begins to manifest and progress to some serious problems.  Every time a toxin enters the body, the cells with which it comes in contact makes them act abnormally as well.


When cells begin to act abnormally, we see cancerous cells develop or if they are part of the immune system, they may fail to protect the rest of your body the way it was designed to do. Pathogens will always congregate and propagate in the area of the body where they encounter the least resistance Even of the same, species of pathogens can manifest in many different ways depending upon the part of the body they settle in.


One of the best illustrations of this fact that I can recall was of a Dr who related that as he was treating a small child for a common cold and she sneezed in his eye. In a little while his eye was itching and burning and although the pathogens were the same, the location and manifestation was different.


You may have noticed, as I have that we seem to have many more varieties of diseases to which new names are given, diseases that a few years ago were relatively unheard of. Many more new, strange and improved toxins have been introduced to our environment and foods as well.


In the town I live in, the hospital has been added on to three times and the fourth large expansion is being added now. With all the wide open spaces and few industries to produce air pollution, it pretty well points to something that is common to everyone, namely, daily diets..


Frequently, it is discovered that there is another food additive or yet another prescription drug that is harmful. We can’t say they didn’t warn us with the long list of side effects that they recite on every prescription drug commercial on TV. It seems pretty common for prescription drugs to be pulled from the market but how many times do you hear of a food additive being banned? It is usually just relegated to the long list of allergies to food.


We have all heard of Nitrites used to preserve vegetables at salad bars  but who knew that after all the decades of those delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that peanut butter could possibly be a lethal weapon
I hope this is a helpful reminder as you gather the food for your diet and I will have more to offer tomo
