The Doctors on Color for Your Health and Myths From Your Relatives
The Dr. Oz show tried to dispel some common myths or beliefs that are traditionally passed on from grandparent to parent to child through a family.
Your relatives may have told you things that are true and then again, some of their beliefs are inaccurate. Dr. Oz did his best to put some science behind the belief systems.
While Dr. Oz provided a lot of useful information, he has to realize that some of these beliefs really are situational and dependent upon the individual’s personal health status. There are not always ‘cut and dried’ rules with many of these things. For instance, fresh produce and frozen or canned products are better? Some doctors think that it is only a matter of nutrient levels and dismiss the essential value of ‘Life Force’ energy that is in fresh foods, but dissipates in frozen and canned foods over time.
At least the Dr. Travis intuitively knows that he tastes the difference in freshly-juiced oranges when compared to frozen orange juice concentrate! Would someone ask Dr. Travis to share this with Dr. Oz? But someone needs to inform the doctors that frozen blueberries won’t have the same impact on a person’s health as fresh organic blueberries.
Then the Doctors on TheDoctorsTV show managed to fill the full hour with information about the ways the color of things affect your health. They also pulled from common beliefs and stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.
In addition to addressing the orange of orange juice, the physicians gave examples from the various colors of the visible light spectrum. You can read all 50 of their ‘color’ health tips on their website.
I found that the mention of green seaweed being good for you to eat was refreshing as was the discussion about the best wild salmon being pink whereas farmed salmon often lacks that pink pigment. Green Tea gets another vote for good information.
The doctors had a little more of a challenge with ‘yellow’ health issues, but they covered such things as stings from yellow jackets and putting lemon juice in your water.
The blue part of the spectrum got plenty of attention and the doctors discussed the blue in blue corn chips, blue cheese, and the ‘blue-skinned man’. More people than you can imagine are fascinated by the ‘blue-skinned man’ who drank so much colloidal silver that he literally turned blue.
Sometimes the skin appears gray, but when you chelate the silver out of the body, the skin can often regain its natural color…most of the time. While I doubt that Dr. Travis really did that much due diligence on colloidal silver, he told his audience that it doesn’t work. I am going to tell you that it is toxic, although it does kill pathogens in the blood. The best alternative is to take liquid ionic silver which the human body can use without storing toxic levels.
Finally, the doctors talked about red and some of the other health issues that ‘color’ your world. Tomatoes are more than just vehicles for lycopene. You can feel comfortable consuming both fresh tomatoes and also use tomatoes in dishes that require cooking for healthy meals.
They never got around to brown and some other colors today, but beyond the visible light spectrum, the entire spectrum does play a significant role in your health… There are as many belief systems and ‘myths’ out there as grains of sand on the beaches around the world, so you are going to have to find that delicate balance through your own experience. Perhaps you can begin with Chicken Soup with fresh cloves of garlic, onion, other root vegetables that make a stock and add flavor and nutrients to soothe those feeling under the weather…just don’t eat soup out of a can!
