Dr. Oz and Dr. Mark Hyman discussed the issues surrounding the craze with Gluten-Free Foods and a healthy diet of whole foods which has carefully eliminated gluten without contributing to weight gain.
Dr. Hyman has been studying the impact of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease for a decade and he has come to the realization that 99% of the population is walking around with gluten sensitivities that have been the causal factor from healthy complaints like headaches to joint pain to depression to bowel disorders.
Dr. Oz and Dr. Hyman Information from this Episode
Dr. Mark told Dr. Oz that he has his patients take two weeks off of ALL gluten foods and hidden sources to see how they feel before going further with additional lab tests and changes in diet. Personally, I feel that it takes longer than two weeks for the inflammation that results when you are reacting to gluten after years of exposure to be calmed down to the point where a person can literally ‘feel’ the difference. I would suggest that you give it six to eight weeks for the initial round.
The biggest surprise of the proof in the pudding usually comes when you begin to eat foods with gluten again, because you instantly begin to feel lousy again. Sometimes when you start feeling better, you can forget just how bad you felt before changes occur and you miss the point. Give it eight weeks…and after two weeks back on your old diet, you’ll notice that those old signs of feeling sick and tired, weak and fatigued, hurting and miserable return. That’s when you will be willing to make more permanent changes!
While you don’t really need to spend a fortune to get all the laboratory tests for gluten screening and then pay to follow Dr. Mark’s extensive program, you can find many healthy options in your local natural foods markets and food coops. You can also locate excellent sources of gluten-free foods on the Net that can be delivered to your door directly, if you find that your local grocery stores is limited by selection. Dr. Mark’s information and regimen can be expensive, but it works for those whose health has been dramatically impaired by eating the wrong foods for decades and really need a doctor’s care.
The segment that went over the comparisons between common foods that most people eat unconsciously and those made without gluten was revealing. It should become obvious that there are hidden sources of gluten in items that people take for granted. Who would have thought that this protein would be found in toothpaste, playdough, the glue that people lick on envelopes, and even processed meats like turkey or lunch meats. You even have to ask your pharmacist if the drugs you take contain gluten as a filler, excipient, or binder.
Let’s get back to foods…
It’s one thing to compare calories, fiber, and other aspects that Samantha pointed out. But those considerations are less significant than the Inflammation that arises from eating a diet that revolves around wheat. This country seems to be addicted to wheat products from wheat flour for breads, pizza dough, and bagels to many other processed foods that use some form of wheat or gluten derived from wheat for some purpose. Labels are revealing and need to be read carefully!
While it’s true that the food industry is jumping on the band wagon to bring gluten-free foods to the market; you have to be mindful of the fact that many of these items contain fat and other ingredients that you do not want in your body. So it is vitally important not to compromise your health by trusting a company to promote gluten-free while deception prevails in other areas of their product generation. Chex may be free of gluten, but it’s not a healthy food for you.
If you are stupid enough to fall for advertising gimmicks, then the current spat of gluten-free marketing campaigns may fool you into false comforts. Rather than resorting to eating processed foodstuffs of any type whatsoever, it’s is essential that you return to the basic whole foods plant-based diet to regain your health and well-being.
You have to approach this with more intelligence and be wary about the sinister commercial slick people who just want to sell you stuff with total disregard for your health. However, there are new brands that care deeply for your health created by those who struggled with these issues and felt that they had to design a business to make healthier foods without gluten for themselves and others who must eliminate gluten to restore their health.
When you go ‘gluten-free’, it’s going to make the most impact upon the way you feel when you eat whole foods again. Beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, specific grains without gluten like rice, fresh produce, organic spices, and fresh herbs will really help to eliminate the inflammation and turn your health around within a short period of time. Dr. Hyman does have some good recipes for you, but you can find recipes at your local Whole Foods Markets and from the natural food community that has embraced healthier diets for fifty years.
Although there are many falacies about what constitutes processed foods to avoid or those which are suitable and will not make you gain weight; you can sort through this morass with some common sense. On this website, you can read through all of the ingredients to determine which products are healthy and which ones are not. Just be mindful of your choices in each case. If you are determined to eat garlic toast, then instead of cheating – you can find a gluten-free bread and use organic butter, sea salt, and organic garlic to make your garlic bread! Never forget that you can add organic ingredients to organic brown rice and other grains to simulate a taste equivalent to garlic bread in flavor!
I think that Dr. Oz missed the most important point for choosing to eliminate any processed food, hidden source, or obvious food which contains gluten. The health problems associated with Inflammation are much more serious than counting calories or finding better sources of fiber! If you allow Inflammation to persist, you will undermine the health of your entire body and this distress will manifest in any number of ways.
Your doctor may not be smart enough to find the root causes! Then you continue to weaken your bio-energetic systems daily without having any idea why. It’s a disservice to you to ignore this! When you choose your whole foods carefully, you are going to make real progress toward a healthy Lifestyle and feeling good for the rest of your life.
Pearl powder, nopales cactus juice, and other natural herbs, foods, and treatments can be employed to reduce inflammation in your body. You will be amazed at the difference it makes in the way you feel in your body! It’s worth your while to take the time to eliminate gluten from your diet. Even the macrobiotic chef can find alternatives to seitan to keep food preparation in your kitchen at the peak of health and flavor!
I found it interesting that the schedules for repeat episodes of The View and TheDoctorsTV both addressed the issue of IVF and the aspects revolving around the desire to have a child when the female body cannot conceive. Fertility and Surrogates as options were the ‘topic of the day’ again.
It is a major health issue that millions of people are facing these days as synthetic hormones, environmental toxins, and agricultural chemicals alter the human body’s ability to become pregnant or carry a fetus to term.
Couples go through zany procedures which often bring them more grief and confusion when they try to use IVF to implant a viable egg into the womb after normal methods of conception bear no results. There were numerous examples discussed on both of these morning shows. Even single individuals like Alexis Stewart face enormous odds.
Some individuals struggle for years to resolve their fertility challenges and then opt for Surrogates. This is such a loving and magnanimous choice for all involved that it brings our hearts to an elevated place of thoughtfulness and love of a different kind. It takes a great deal of maturity to move through the processes of surrogacy with grace and gratitude.
Therapists and counseling offers a healthy environment for the choice for surrogacy to satisfy the needs of all parties at the time and into the future. It might not be easy, but it does work more often than not. The generosity of the surrogate and the acceptance of those in receivership are beautiful to behold. If only more people cared this much to bring a child into their world and raise a family under extraordinary circumstances.
On the DoctorsTV show, I could see the depth of emotion from Dr. Lisa and Dr. Jim as they discussed all of the issues that come into play in these situations. When mix-ups occur, it takes a sincerity beyond the scope of traditional emotional stability to manage to find balance when things go terribly wrong. The doctors have some additional information and resources for you on their website.
It is only natural for physicians to want to help couples have children. They resort to extensive regimens and time-consuming protocols to attempt to support the process of a successful pregnancy and delivery. But sometimes they miss the most obvious reason that prevents either the male or female from being able to contribute to a viable outcome.
The doctors do all of their typical tests in the laboratory and explore all of the physiological reasons for failing to conceive, but they have never been trained to look for bio-energetic markers that preclude pregnancy or the viability of the sperm. Only Bio-Energetic Medicine takes this into consideration.
It bears fruit…
I have seen women who were told that they were barren or infertile turn that around and deliver healthy babies. First it takes bringing health and wellness to the male and female bodies and Balance to the bio-energetic fields. The energy deficiency is at the heart of the issue and it most often goes unnoticed. It takes special knowledge and training to know how to assess this for hopeful couples or individuals.
I am not going to get into the ‘nuts and bolts’ of this topic here, but suffice it to say that some of my patients named their infants after me to honor the process that put a healthy baby into the arms of dedicated parents who had sought a solution.
A woman’s body knows whether or not it has the energy reserves, the Xue, and the resplendent Chi to become pregnant and deliver a healthy baby. When the energy or Blood is deficient, the body in its infinite wisdom will not conceive, because it compromises both mother and child. The man who is deficient in Kidney Chi or Jing cannot produce viable sperm. Nature knows… But fortunately, there are also those Healers who have been trained to address the bio-energetic weaknesses and restore vitality and Balance in order to bring forth new Life.
The subject of using HGH was visited again on Good Morning America with a discussion about a couple who felt that their personal experience with the use of this therapy had produced satisfactory results.
One person stated that they had already outlived both parents. For them, that was a big plus…
They are exploring the benefits of finding ways to extend the length of their lifetimes and improve their health with this approach. It works for them.
While many people share this view, there are many more who question whether or not this use of HCG is a literal Fountain of Youth. The final answer hasn’t been proven yet.
There are HGH injections that are costly and affordable for those with expendable income. There are homeopathic remedies that are less expensive, but may not produce the same end result. There are herbal formulas and whole foods that support the human body in the natural production of hormones which eventually lengthen the life of the individual who takes them regularly in the proper manner. Lastly, there are products that may be responsible for promoting tumor growth in some people. It’s not all ‘cut and dried’…
Personally, it is my view that the use of herbal formulations and whole foods and spiritual practices will yield the best result for Longevity and Wellness. I have also tested many of the homeopathic remedies and found them lacking. Many, but not all. I have not evaluated anyone who chose to get the injections nor who reported tumor activity. My experience is limited. I can only speak with authority about the efficacy of herbs, nutritional supplements, and spiritual practices that are working for most of the people who have decided to take this path.
Dr. Oz, the physicians on other morning shows, and other news agencies report on different cases of those who are using the HGH Diet to lose weight and get more than they bargain for with the general improvement in their health. I have one product line that can be used for weight management purposes in addition to enhancing Longevity by nourishing the Endocrine System to share with you.
Vital 18 contains spirulina and Korean Ginseng. It is a thick sweet syrup that can be used to replace a meal or taken half an hour before meals to support an improvement in metabolic function and digestion. It does not overstimulate the glands of the Endocrine System, but rather nourishes and balances the structure and more importantly, the function of the glands that regulate the production and release of hormones in the human body. We can get you special pricing on a case of six bottles of Vital 18 when you purchase the product from us or one of our distribution centers. It is affordable and get the job done with the pleasure that comes from good tasting nutritional supplements.
The human body has the capacity to produce hormones as long as you provide it with the raw nutrients and the energy to accomplish the task at hand. This is where herbal formulas and nutritional supplementation is superior to injections of HGH. Although for some people, that is certainly one way to go the distance…
Jillian is bringing her fitness and exercise expertise to the set of TheDoctorsTV, but today she talked about the importance of healthy natural sweeteners before commanding Dr. Travis to go through the motions with some of her best exercise techniques.
She discussed her preference for stevia and blue agave syrup. I agree with her assessment. She insisted that people should go with more natural things, instead of the artificial sweeteners which initiate a metabolic problem from excitotoxins which alter your brain’s biochemistry. If you must sweeten a beverage or any food; then you will support your healthy Lifestyle by choosing a natural sweetener.
Many people have never even heard of stevia, but it is quickly becoming the natural sweetener of choice. The manufacturers are making it in new forms which resemble refined sugar. White granules in small packets or in bulk are easier for the average consumer to use, because it resembles what they are familiar with and it shares the same degree of convenience.
The liquid form of stevia is still a great idea, but remember that you don’t need as much as you might think to flavor any liquid. It is several times as sweet as the same amount of other sweeteners, so you can use less while still getting the same sweetness you crave.
Speaking of craving something sweet… If you consistently find that you crave sweet foods or beverages, then your Earth Element consisting of the Spleen and Stomach meridians may be deficient. You can be evaluated by an acupuncturist to determine if this is the case. Then you might want to consider taking some herbal formulations that are designed to restore Balance to the energetic aspects of your body’s systems that regulate and control metabolism, blood, body fluids, and digestion.
In the interim, you can use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, rice syrup, date sugar, molasses, and others to boost the sweetness of the foods and beverages you are eating and drinking until the cravings diminish. Foods that have been processed like baked goods and desserts can be healthy when prepared with natural ingredients. You’ll find many at the Gluten-Free website here:
While Jillian suggested that you brush your teeth if you have a craving, that might not satiate your bio-energetic need for fuel from an inherent deficiency. There is no amount of exercise or other behavior that will replace the herbal formulas that nourish your body’s energy systems. If you are going to enjoy a healthy Lifestyle for the rest of your Life, then you will serve your body well by using natural foods and herbs for regenerating the weak systems. Jillian gave away electric toothbrushes to the entire audience and explained why oral health care is so important for weight management. It’s better than relying upon a spray or other gimmick to use in your attempts to control your cravings to lose weight.
Root vegetables, sea vegetables, dark leafy greens, and other whole foods are going to provide the nutrients and the energy that is required to rejuvenate your body. Herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, mint, sage, and other green goodies like scallions, chives, and sprouts are plentiful in chlorophyll which will help to build the blood. There are herbs like Rehmannia which will be combined together in herbal formulations to build the blood and nourish the energetic systems of the Earth Element.
I am going to be bringing you more information, so you can sort through the nonsense that surrounds the quality of our food supply. The woman in this video tells you like it is, we are selling ‘authenticity’. This movement is bringing you food that you can view as ‘edible’ and ‘healthy’ for yourself and your family.
It’s one thing to have an opinion in a free nation and exercise that opinion by enjoying your choice to buy produce and food which is either organic or processed or laden with synthetic chemicals somewhere in the chain of the production of food that makes it to our tables; but it’s another matter altogether to not have that choice when regulatory agents raid sustainable farms and buying clubs anywhere in this nation that prides itself on Freedom of Choice!
I am not going to apologize for my stance on these issues. I have experienced many sides of these food issues and I know from my direct experience what’s edible and what will compromise the health of the human being.
My body is an excellent indicator of the quality of a food that is consumed. I also happen to have instruments that are based on solid science which assist in the determination of the nature of any substance, including foods and beverages.
At least I am honest. I acknowledge that there will always be people who are fooled into trusting commercials, experts, and marketing campaigns that attempt to sell them on a brand, a label, or a specialty item. I recognize that there will always be people who blindly trust companies without investigating their claims and representations about their products.
It goes with the territory of being in the business of making money. Some companies and their employees will stop at nothing and show no moral code when it comes to selling their wares. Where would the lawyers be without bringing lawsuits to bear against cases about the problems within the industry? Why would we bother to have departments that are designed to protect the consumer and assess the compliance with the laws and policies that are in place to prevent reckless actions that compromise the health of the public?
I recently approved two comments from someone who doesn’t share my positions. I don’t walk in that person’s shoes and they have never walked in mine. Each of us is entitled to our own opinions and make our own responsible choices when purchasing food in this free nation. I have seen what allergies to processed foods to a person. I have seen the ravages of cancer from a refined foods diet. I have tested thousands of foods and beverages over the years. I draw from that experience and I trust that you will do with this information as you wish…
With obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, infections, inflammation, and a host of other degenerative and chronic diseases affecting millions of people; it is important to have a few voices that are willing to tell you why this is happening. The quality of our Food Supply is at the very heart of our health or illness. You cannot ignore this without facing the consequences at some point in your lives.
I am old enough to have eaten foods prepared by my mother and father and other family members that came from real gardens, real farming communities, and suppliers when they did not use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or other common agricultural chemicals that are in use today. I watched my parents both die from cancer due to the consumption of processed foods. No one can debate that fact. It’s my passion to provide knowledge that can prevent anyone from having to go through that when they change their food choices to organic and natural whole foods that are grown in accordance to ‘sustainable agricultural’ practices.
I am not the only one… There are millions of us who have learned the hard way and are are the cutting-edge of bringing change to the way we source and grow our food, bring that food to market, and prepare that food for consumption. In fact, this is one of the only thriving and growing industries in the world! The statistics prove it. The popularity of Whole Foods Markets, organic foods, sustainable agricultural produce, and many different movements that restore the health and vitality to our food supply is evident and undeniable.
By the way, beginning today, we are celebrating National Farmer’s Market Week! This is the 12th year of recognizing the value of markets and local access to produce. You are going to get fresh and healthy food at local Farmer’s Markets.
Most of the food in your big box grocery stores is processed and comes from centralized factories that ship around the country or the world. It’s not sustainable and most of it isn’t necessarily healthy. It’s only natural that we are heading back to a local strategy for the health of it! In fact, it may be the only way we can actually grow enough healthy food to feed people now and in the future without compromising the health of the land, the economy, the people, and the industry of supplying food fit for human consumption.
So what is ‘edible’ in your area? There is a website and a group of magazines that share the local information with you to ensure that you know more about your regional resources.
There is more information and support for people now than ever before to learn, produce, buy, and sell whole foods. There are grants and government money to start and expand your business or your NPO. There are more people willing to purchase and eat whole foods which are sustainably grown and brought to the market than in any time in recent history. This is definitely the time to immerse yourselves in this evolution of our healthy and edible Food Supply through sustainable practices.
You can walk away from processed and compromised foodstuffs in the big box grocery stores and cheap outlets and stroll right into your local Farmer’s Markets, Food Coops, and CSAs to eventually get your own hands in the soil to grow healthy foods. There’s no going back to what has destroyed the health of a nation and several generations! We are here now and we are going to be the driving force in the future of food.
Do you want to know one of the biggest free health secrets that will sustain you through all the years of your lives?
You can go from ‘field’ to ‘table’ when you support ‘Sustainable Agricultural Practices’. Your life will be extended, you will enjoy a higher ‘quality of Life’, and you will not be struck down with degenerative diseases in the prime of your Life or in your senior years.
It all begins with the Soil. You simply MUST eat produce and foods that have been grown in great topsoil that contains high levels of nutrients and other factors that yield healthy harvests.
You can compost your waste to build up the soil in your garden or field. Earthworms are more valuable than you might imagine! Soil amendments and sustainable practices are going to keep the food that comes from the soil healthy and filled with energy. When you eat from your garden, buy from your farmers, and eat a plant-based whole foods diet; you are going to live long and prosper.
The food that you prepare in your kitchen and put on your table is best when it is locally grown and sourced. Although there are many reasons to include a diverse array of herbs, spices, and whole foods in your diet, your sustenance depends upon your ability to support your local community of growers, farmers, ranchers, and providers.
I watched “Endless Harvest’ that airs on television and was recently held in Oregon. Nancy’s yogurt is far superior to national brands. Local produce was gathered to feed nearly one hundred people who were celebrating the ‘endless feast’ which was derived from local vendors and suppliers and chefs. It’s more than a trend, it’s more than a fad…it’s the way to live well upon the land.
The healthy food movement in this country and around the world is learning to throw out the companies like Monsanto and Cargill among thousands of others who have trampled the traditions that keep people healthy and strong. The time for mega-corporations is over. They are not going to succeed in controlling the seed stock, nor are they going to get away with compromising the quality of our food or the condition of our fields. We are watching, we have learned, and we are doing things differently to preserve what has worked in the past and what will sustain us into the future.
Who are we? We are the ones who have learned the hard way and know enough to change the way we do things from ‘field to table’ while we educate our children and save the next generation…and perhaps protect the earth in the process!

You may not keep up on the nasty things that governmental regulatory agencies are doing to legitimate businesses; but this is one of those moments when we have to stand up for Freedom, the Law, and what is right in America.
I don’t usually talk about these things, although I have witnessed them happening for decades. This is nothing new, but it is time to put an end to the abuse of power by regulators and unscrupulous officials who have an agenda contrary to the health and well-being of human beings.
There are millions of people in this country and around the world who will not tolerate this behavior and the federal regulators’ days are numbered. This will stop NOW!
I have had enough of the illegal activities of governmental agencies and I am going to take this opportunity to stand on my soapbox and shout out the story to the public through the Internet. You’ll read this on all of our Blogs today!
There is nothing more important than Freedom and one’s sovereign choice to make decisions about what foods are consumed. This is the equivalent argument to a woman having ownership of her own body when she is raped, conceives, and chooses to have an abortion. Your body is yours and no one has the right or the privilege to tell you what to do with it. It is your choice alone.
Every human being who treasures Freedom and well-being MUST be respected enough by all others, individuals, agencies, or governing bodies, to decide which foods to eat and what supplements to take. It’s a right that we will never give up!
If people choose to consume raw milk and cheese and healthy foods that have not been processed; then there is no power on earth that can prevent that. We are Sovereigns…first and foremost.
I am inclined to agree with the conclusion of the reporter from Natural News that this is an example of ‘domestic terrorism’ at its worst, since these are official agencies that are supposed to be acting in the best interest of the Public. We know that this is a farce and a tragic injustice against sustainable farming operations and a food buying club.
I am appalled at the government’s behavior. They should be arrested and jailed, fired, fined, and made an example of what never to allow to ever happen again in America, the Land of the Free! I would encourage all of you who learn of this abuse of power to be vocal critics and bring this to the attention of every Media outlet in the country until justice is served for the farmers and the buying club members. They should be compensated for their improper treatment.
It borders on ‘acts of terrorism’ to storm into a business and destroy the property by pouring the raw milk down the drain and removing the cheese and other products that we all depend upon for our health and wellness. How dare you! We have worked for decades to build sustainable farming enterprises, buying clubs for health foods, and freedom from the poisonous food that is manufactured by large conglomerates that is toxic to the human body. Let the government officials eat that poisonous food if they wish, but you will never force us to consume it against our will!
If this abuse of power continues, then you are going to see the evolution of revolution in the streets of every town, city, and state. We will not let this go any further! Not only will we go after the specific individuals who have committed the criminal acts, but we will shut down the agencies and ensure that the Law deals with them accordingly. You are not going to get away with this! Mark my words…
Even if Mother Nature herself needs to take you down, So Be It! It ends here and now…
We are going to continue to provide and consume healthy food and beverages. We are going to continue to support sustainable farming practices. We are going to fight for this right and nothing else will suffice. We are going to protect our healthy Food Supply and Producers and Vendors.
Dr. Oz talked about the health risk to women and even men over the age of 30 who can be subject to the weakening of bone tissue which leads to osteopenia and eventually to osteoporosis when left unchecked. There are natural methods that you can employ to reverse this process of breaking down while you begin to rebuild healthy bone tissue.
Many drugs are being identified which actually were supposed to work, but are indicated in making bone tissue weaker which can result in more fractures, breaks, and debilitation. You don’t have to go the ‘drug’ route and put your bones at further risk.
The Doctor Oz guest mentioned that smoking, poor diet, lack of certain types of exercise, and excess alcohol consumption can be responsible for bone loss. Women over the age of 30 are particularly at risk for suffering from fractures. Once you have a fracture, it is more likely that you’ll have another at some point unless you deal with the condition of your bone tissue through a healthy Lifestyle.
You can slow, stop, and even reverse the process of degeneration, if you learn to engage in healthy Lifestyle practices which support regeneration of bone tissue. You can eat foods rich in minerals like calcium, silica, boron, and many other trace minerals. Dark leafy Greens, carrots, tofu, yogurt, and other foods are high in calcium and you can take supplemental sources of calcium as long as they are bio-available.
Most people don’t realize that commercial salt can reduce the absorption of calcium as can pH imbalances in the body. It is important to choose Sea Salt, instead of commercial brands. Furthermore, if a person is deficient in vitamin D3; then the parathyroid doesn’t support the metabolic processes that circulate or eliminate calcium from bone tissue. Calcium is constantly going into and leaving bone tissue…it is an active and dynamic process. It requires your daily attention to a healthy whole foods diet and adequate supplementation.
This is a complex issue and we’re not going to be able to cover all of the aspects right now, but it’s a good place to begin to get your minerals from your whole foods. If you are going to use a supplement, then the best choice is the Liquid Ionic Minerals which are easily absorbed and assimilated when compared to other nutritional supplements.
There are dozens of people who offer advice about nutrition, health, wellness, and medical information to audiences through TV, books, magazines, stores, and online Net resources.
Who is ‘walking the talk’ by bringing whole foods and healing products to the table? Who You Gonna Call? Mythbusters…
The ghosts of good television like Dr. Oz and his so-called experts can drive a person to drink an organic fresh fruit Smoothie! I watched the guy who has ‘listeners’ talk about his 7 Day Energy Surge plan to turn around the sluggish housewife, career woman, and average citizen within a week without chemical intervention.
Then this dude proceeds to talk about ‘chemical intervention’ his way with Tyrosine and Magnesium supplementation. My Lord, the hypocrisy! Is he deluded or just an ego-maniac who is showing ‘cognitive dissonance’? I fear the latter…
Dr. Oz and his guest berated the audience member for drinking coffee to deal with her fatigue and sluggishness, but then performed the comparable error in judgment by recommending an isolated amino acid and one single mineral. This is so irresponsible, it is shocking to me that the producers missed this glaring problem with the content!
While I have not read the book, I ‘listened’ to Jim speak on the Doctor Oz show today. He offered a minimal breathing technique that he suggested that people use upon awakening in the morning. That was hardly enough to oxygenate the blood! You could get more oxygen circulating in your red blood cells by taking an ounce of Liquid Ionic Germanium! However, if you think that there is fresh air saturated with oxygen in a polluted city, then think again. Moving is your only answer there to live in rural areas where there is fresh air to breathe.
You cannot legitimately turn around bio-energetic or metabolic deficiencies that cause fatigue in seven days. This is unrealistic and it’s more of a marketing ploy by a guy who studied business before he had ‘listeners’ and wrote a book as a personal trainer.
Dr. Oz would have served his audience and honored the promise he made to Oprah by bringing on a master of Tai Chi. He could have brought an Acupuncturist who specializes in herbal formulas and whole foods to benefit the audience who relies upon him for their health information. It’s a true disservice that Dr. Oz is doing more often than not… His show needs to be revamped. He needs more than ratings derived from surgery on TV with Jimmy Fallon and game show antics that leave us cold and disappointed in him.
You can count on us to bring you better information. For instance, instead of a single amino acid or a single Magnesium supplement, go and learn about Superfoods and whole foods that have been used by intelligent people around the world for thousands of years:
Love Street Living Foods has gone to the ends of the Earth to bring you the best and the most useful of secret Superfoods that have been shared down through the ages and are now available in this country to those who love to ‘walk the table talk’ all the way to Wellness and Well-Being!
Just when you thought that this issue was settled by calmer and more intelligent minds, the women of The View and the physicians on TheDoctorsTV show us their ignorance.
They may be right on target when it comes to wearing red and sharing the scoop on fashion, medicine, men, cosmetic surgery, and the wild and wacky ways of Hollywood stars like Miley Cyrus; but when it comes to the truth about Salvia Divinorum, they are in the dark.
Perhaps you would rather listen to the ‘talking heads’ who have no experience in these matters at all. That’s fine with me. I would just like to add my two bits to the discussion for those who seek the truth beyond the hype, fear, and rumor mills.
Neither Whoopi, Elisabeth, Joy, Katie, Sheri, Travis, Jim, Drew, or Lisa ever used the term, “Entheogen”. The knowledge of the use of Entheogens is beyond the scope of their views about the world! They are locked into Social Consciousness where people, events, places, things, and the ‘hot topic’ of the times encapsulates their meager mental capacities. I intended that to sound exactly the way it is written. They are not well-read, they are not spiritually-oriented, and they are not aware of the cultural traditions surrounding the path to the awakening of one’s inner reality.
These people are hardly qualified to provide the public with any information, although Dr. Travis thought that he had cracked the code when hooking up one individual to equipment to determine the effect of one vaporization of the natural plant material on one person. Any clinical scientist worth his salt would know that a study with a greater sample looking at any number of parameters is warranted before drawing any conclusions! Dr. Travis can’t even grasp the fact that Sea Salt is healthier than commercial salt…
So let’s examine a few points about the Salvia Divinorum issue. It will take more than this one discussion to adequately fill you in on all the aspects of this topic, but at least it’s a start that gives you some guidance to follow on your own time.
Salvia Divinorum has been used by indigenous cultures in Mexico to enter an altered state of Consciousness to experience a heightened level of communication with the natural world, the plant kingdom, and their inner nature and perception of reality. This is a sacred ceremony that is carefully entered into with more care than a surgeon and his scalpel entering into the human body…
This natural plant material is not a drug to be misused or abused for recreational purposes. Miley Cyrus and others who have shown such disrespect for the traditional cultural use of Salvia Divinorum should be embarrassed and learn from their mistakes. There are far too many people in Hollywood and too many other celebrities who are shallow and have no knowledge of the history of appropriate and safe applications of sacred substances. It’s not only Salvia…it extends to everything from red wine to tobacco!
Oh, the games people play…
People abuse and misuse these substances as often as they abuse beverages like coffee, whole foods like cacao, and herbs like ginseng. It shows their immaturity and the failure of our educational system to pass on the wisdom ways of our elders. This knowledge was traditionally shared in the oral traditions by indigenous cultures around the world. Young people were initiated into the inner circles of the Wisdom Schools and sacred circles of the wise ones.
The women of The View are on the opposite end of the spectrum when compared to the Shaman. The herbalists and healers of the ancient apothecaries of the East performed far better than their Western counterparts who are only ‘practicing’ medicine with synthetic drugs and invasive surgical procedures. The doctors on TV and in offices and hospitals around this country are only recently taking a serious look at Tai Chi, Yoga, bodywork, herbs, whole foods, and all of the natural methods that have been passed down over thousands of years of success and efficacy. That’s the View from here!
Even Diane Sawyer on ABC World News is asking the question about the ‘Garden of Eden’ being located in Missouri. We are well aware that E.DEN was in the Old World around the region we now call Cypress…just consult the Sumerian texts. The most promising views are coming from astronomers today who theorized that the Earth once had two moons as discussed in the journal, “Nature”.
At least there are a few people on TV who are exploring what lies beyond common human perception and belief systems like this evening’s report on ‘Life after Death’ and ‘Out of Body Experiences’. There’s so much more than the ‘lukewarm topics’ on The View about Miley Cyrus smoking and role models in our society. When will Barbara bring on someone who can engage in more intelligent discussions? Sheri wasn’t sure whether it was ‘stevia’ or ‘salvia’! When will the producers of TheDoctorsTV and Dr. Oz bring on real experts that will carry on the traditions of giving the next generation the ancient knowledge that keeps them well, happy, wise, and curious about what it is to be a human ‘being’? Is it ‘Beyond Belief’ to hope that we can evolve beyond the personality’s limitations and definitions of what is real and what is relatively important? Let’s hope so…
