Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
Quote:
The body connects to the mind, just as the mind connects to the body. Suggestion - that the state of wisdom (which relates to a structural change in the mind) - - results in demonstrable effect in the body. The effect - a sensitivity (incapacity to handle) blood glucose variability. Imagine a skipping rope describing large loops. As 'quantum collapse' occurs - the amplitude of the loops decrease until the skipping rope bears so much energy that it looks perfectly taut (straight). The magnitude of decreasing peak/troughs in the skipping rope from high to close to zero - representing the body's physiological capacity for handling blood glucose. From 'high' (the ability to manage large peaks and troughs in blood glucose level) at birth - to not at all (at wisdom - completion of mind). The capacity to handle large spike/troughs (not to appear to be affected by variability in blood glucose levels when young) - doesn't (I don't think) mean that 'extreme' variability is sought ... ... merely 'masked'. Wisdom - Stimulant/Stimulation/Stress-averse when one's boat is floated, differently. I'm trying to suggest that we can infer the state of the mind from the body's sensitivity to blood glucose variability. That the development of the mind to wisdom dictates a different internal metabolic profile on the organism - and that disease occurs if we fail to change our dietary habits in parallel with the needs of our mind (body reactively). All of the problems (chronic disease in middle age to premature, painful death) we face may be circumvented if all people (simply) switch to a (predominantly) vegetable + pulse diet. Development of mind -> Dietary change (longevity) Dietary change (vegetable + pulse) during development of mind to support 'wisdom' metabolic activity. New Metabolism.

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
Uh I erased my post, well I'll try again.. man.
![]() ___ OK the alkaline/acid thing.. SB and I had a similar conversation a couple years ago.. I think my understanding has gotten better on this subject. Oxidation Reduction Potential. Redox and so forth. Of course drastic changes in overall pH is not desirable. Alkaline pH of the gut is not good for healthy gut bacteria. Alkaline water scares me a little bit for that reason. Food may be a different story. Also Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an acid, but it's an oxygen reducer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox Quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icated_animals Fish would probably be a good idea to get too.. Wild caught fish is healthier. The oils are good for the brain and stuff. Here's something that's similar to permaculture. I first heard about in the book Omnivore's Dilemma.. Polyface is quite successful. http://www.polyfacefarms.com/products.aspx http://www.polyfacefarms.com/principles.aspx

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
Are you against the idea of killing animals for food?

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
I'm not against the idea of naturally raised animals being used as a food source. But not only for the purpose of eating them.

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
Confused. How do you raise them naturally? I assume without hormones or antibiotics but how else? And what else would you do with them other than eat them? I do not know how to butcher a cow if I did I would use the skin hide organs etc

All to enrich the environment.. And preferably in ways that help it take care of itself more, and provide for us.. Preferably eating animals that have already raised their children to maturity, if possible. This could depend on the animal though. Manure is how organic farms enrich the soil. Conventional operations don't use the manure for anything I know of, it probably just goes down the drain or something. Yes, using their skins, bones, organs, and such. At least, composting all other wastes. Polyface farm composts the unused chicken (blood, chicken skin, and such)..You have to do that a different way than composting plant matter. There's def different ways of going about this.

My family and I have been making changes in the way we eat: more vegetables (even raising our own), less fats, refined sugars and flour. Pretty much avoiding, "White" foods. I have noticed a profound change in my attitude, focus, and health. So I endorse healthy eating. While a lot of people may not get into the science behind food (don't get me started on the politics) and many don't even care, you can't go wrong encouraging people to eat healthily.

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
This can become very interesting.

_____ Having flowers that attract beneficial insects, like bees. The bees also serve another role in taking care of the plant's needs for pollination. Another role is that honey serves as a food source for humans. My friend who ate honey on a regular basis, after discovering she was allergic to pollen, is no longer allergic to it (was tested).. So now the flowers and bees have served a medicinal role as well. . It's not wise to disturb this aspect in an ecosystem.. There many plants that depend on pollination to produce fruit or seed.. So there's at least 3 organisms forming that symbiotic relationship. And other animals eating invasive pests to prevent the desirable plant from being wiped out. _________ Some paradigms, like Permaculture just make more sense than others by default.. It's based on a more complete level of scientific understanding.

Re: ADHD Symptoms and Dietary Connections
A lot of this thinking of ending farming animals for meat or work, releasing them into the wild, etc., depends on everyone growing/hunting their own food, and eliminating a lot of products we use daily. Ain't gonna happen. I would certainly like to see animals being raised in more humane conditions, and patronize farms that use these methods as much as possible.
In fact, a lot of the information being fed to us by purveyors of "alternative" medicine, diets, and lifestyles is out of touch with the greater picture, and sometimes willfully deceitful. For example, Gerson therapy for cancer, which qinkin linked to. There is no proof for its efficacy, no reason to assume it would work at all, and the ethics of those who promote it are questionable. If people applied the same level of skepticism/distrust towards these treatments as they often do towards evidence-based medicine, they wouldn't stand up to the questioning.

You must understand how marketing works as well to understand what is being "fed to you". A car company doesn't sell the masses cars, they sell emotions/feelings - if you buy this car people will look up to you, all your problems will be fixed and you'll be much happier. They're selling ideas and lifestyles and internal and external personas and projecting that image onto their product. How much easier is it when you're just selling the image, and then... oh by the way I've got this product to go along with that, as do the alternative marketers. |
