  2. Deadly Afflictions in '95 Heart & Blood vessel disease - 914,000 Cancer - 538,000 Chronic Lung Disease - 105,000 Accidents - 90,000 Pneumonia/flu - 84,000 Diabetes - 59,000 HIV/AIDS - 43,000 Other = 398,000 Suicide - 31,000 Liver cirrhosis - 25,000 Total = 2,312,000 Kidney failure - 24,000 0 200 400 600 800 1000

  3. Aging Factors • Dental conditions • Periodontal disease (pyorrhea) • Tooth decay • Overeating increases rate of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases • Bad habits such as smoking, alcohol use, late hours for sleeping, night-shift work • Noisy environment

  4. Starch Molecule

  5. Cook ‘em “Grains used for porridge or “mush” should have several hours’ cooking.” Ministry of Healing 301

  6. Starch granules were found in blood, urine, bile, and human milk after a human subject drank a suspension of water and raw starch.

  7. Radiologists can detect many tiny lacunar scars in the brains of all people over the age of 30. Some scientists believe they are caused by the inadequate cooking of starch. Medical Hypothesis 1991 (35:85-87

  8. Other possible areas of damage: Bones Adrenals Muscles Joints Lymph nodes

  9. An Experiment • Rolled oats, corn grits, whole grain rice, whole grain wheat, and cracked wheat were tested. • Specimens were observed after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours of cooking.

  10. The Results To achieve complete hydrolysis: • Rolled oats ........................ 90 minutes • Corn Grits ........................ 3 hours • All other grains ................ 2-3 hours

  11. Longevity Health Factors Belloc & Breslow Sleep 7 to 8 hours No eating between meals Eat breakfast regularly Maintain proper weight Regular exercise Moderate or no alcohol No smoking

  15. Alzheimer's Disease

  16. Alzheimer’s Disease Stages • Stage I - forgetfulness of recent names, dates, events; lost in familiar places, personality change • Stage II - Needs help with decisions, baths, money; gets depressed, agitated, secluded • Stage III - Unaware of time, place, events, close family; may become suspicious, etc.

  20. Strokes

  21. Causes of Stroke • Smoking (also second-hand) • Alcohol & coffee use • High iron • High homocysteine • Fevers, infections • Inflammation - e.g. lupus, Crohn’s disease • Hormones - contraceptive pills, testosterone • Migraines • Allergies

  22. Causes of Strokes • Dehydration • Overeating • Hypertension • High cholesterol & triglycerides • Fatty, salty diet (meat, lard, butter, pork, etc.) • Acute stress, long trips • Atrial fibrillation

  23. Stroke Prevention • Eat carrots or other deep yellow food daily • Most favorable diet - complete vegetarian • Give blood, if eligible, to the Red Cross • Avoid overwork, stress • Avoid coffee, tea, colas • Never overeat • Keep limbs warm

  24. Stroke Prevention • Avoid long trips without moving • Stretch and yawn frequently • Wear loose clothing • Wear elasticized stockings • Avoid gas-forming foods, overeating • Drink generous quantities of water • Drink 6 oz of water each time you visit the loo in the night

  25. Natural Anticlotting Agents • Turmeric curcumin • Garlic allicin • Parsley polyacetylenes • Red Clover coumarins (also in beans) • Other herbs flax, ginkgo, hawthorne, astragalus • Red grape juice resveratrol • Exercise endorphins • Avoid free fats fats é platelet stickiness • Water & low hgb thins blood

  26. Anticlotting Agents • Red grape juice - resveratrol 5 oz. 2 x day • Turmeric - curcumin 1/2 t. 2 x day • Garlic - allicin 1 clove 3 x day • Kyolic 2 caps 3 x day • Vitamin E - anti-platelet stickiness factor 2-400 i.u. 2 x day • Red clover - coumarins 1cup 3 x day

  27. MEALS

  28. Regular Mealtime Has Benefits • Better control of food intake • Greater sensitivity to insulin • Less high blood sugar swing Nutrition Reports International 31(6):1341, June, 1985

  29. Meal Plan • Tongue alerts stomach - volume, compositionSN11-26-94 • The bigger the meal the faster the pulse and the less blood flow in legsBrJ.Nutr71:835’94 • A 15-year LLU study revealed lower mental function in elderly eating bigger meals AmJ.Ep.6-15-96 • Sri Lankans overeat, productivity low 11-28-97 euter ServiceR • Overeating reduces the sensitivity of insulin

  30. Two Meal Plan - Advantages • Cuts foot costs and kitchen chores • Gives an extra 30-90 minutes a day • Regulates body weight • Promotes an alert mind • Allows more restful sleep • Prepares for a hearty morning appetite • Presents less temptation for snacking • Increases insulin sensitivity • Insures clean blood for a longer time • Allows less TB, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s • Leads to a longer life Journal of Nutrition 127:210-217, 1997 Neurology 49(1): 310; July 1997

  31. Design Your Diet

  32. L Cataracts Design Your Diet • Eat vegetables, especially spinach • Eat pineapple for bromelain • Avoid milk and milk products because of galactose

  33. Cancer!

  34. Cancer Virus Highest cancer rates are in dairy farmers & poultry farmers who market eggs. • Milk 1975 - Seven in ten cartons had cancer virus More than 30 human diseases traced to milk • Eggs 1975 - Seven in ten eggs had cancer virus 1985 - nearly 100% had cancer virus

  35. Breast CancerCorrelation with meat & dairy servings/week Frequency and Relative Risk Frequency Meat Eggs Cheese • Less than 1 1.00 1.00 1.00 • 2-4 x week 2.55 1.91 3.23 • Daily 3.53 2.86 4.10

  36. Design Your DietAnticancer Foods • Citrus(acts as Tamoxifen) • Flaxseed(lignans - anti-estrogen activity) • Garlic(alliin - anti-cancer activity) • Soybeans(isoflavones - anti-cancer) • All beans • Cabbage family • Yellow & green veggies & fruits • Celery • Asparagus • Tomatoes • Apples • Peaches

  37. SDA Health StudyExcess Cancer Risk from Four Servings Meat/Week Compared to Ovo-lacto Vegetarians

  38. Various Studies Showing Excess Cancer Risk for the Obese

  39. Osteoporosis

  40. Hip Fractures Women Per 100,000 Dairy/day Protein American 102 462 gm. 106g NZ 97 480 112 Israeli 70 315 105 Singapore 15 113 82 Bantu 5 10 47 Eskimos have highest hip fracture rate in USA, also highest calcium intake, 1,500-2,500 mg./day with 250-400 gm. protein.

  41. Causes of Osteoporosis • High protein diet - over 50 gm. protein/day gives negative calcium balance. American men and women both take more than 50. • Tobacco use - 1% loss/year • Coffee use (1 cup) - 1.4% loss/year • Deficiency of zinc, fluoride, magnesium • High phosphorus intake: Soft drinks Processed meats Milk Processed cheese Red meats Baking powder Yeast Instant soups

  42. #1 A Protein-rich diet Women average: 90-130 gramsMen average: 110-180 grams Protein burdens the kidneys causing heavy calcium lossesLess than 50 grams protein produces positive calcium balanceMore than 50 grams or protein produces a negative calcium balance

  43. Causes of Osteoporosis High Phosphorous Intake Soft drinks Processed meats Milk Red Meats Baking powder Brewer’s Yeast Instant soups Processed cheese Detergents Other Lifestyle Factors Birth control pills Smoking Alcohol Aluminum antacids Tetracycline Alum Thyroid supplement Steroids High fat diet High Intake of Sodium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D Low Intake of Zinc, Fluoride

  44. To Control Salt Intake... Avoid • Canned vegetables • Bakery goods • Processed meats Use no: • Dairy products • Salt in preparing food • Salt at the table Mother’s milk 350 mg/l Cow’s milk 1500 mg/l Result: A therapeutic low-salt diet (approximately 1 gram)

  45. Magnesium Functions • Constituent of bones and teeth • Reduces muscular sensitivity - tremors • Enzyme cofactor • Prevention of disease • Osteoporosis • Hypertension • Cancer • High blood cholesterol • Heart and artery disease Requirement: 300-500 mg. per day

  46. Magnesium Sources • Nuts, seeds • Grains oats corn barley wheat rice rye • Legumes - peanuts, peas, beans • Carob • Fresh vegetables - beets, greens, squash, green vegetables • Fruits

  47. How much calcium is really needed? According to Dr. Mark Hegsted of Harvard, we need 126 mg/day of calcium The RDA is 1000 to 1500 mg/day!

  48. Calcium sources 1/2 cup peaches …………….…....…… 38 mg 2 oz raisins ………………….…..……. 36 mg Cow’s milk, 1 cup ………...……....…. 288 mg Human milk, 1 cup ……….....…..……. 80 mg 1 cup cooked broccoli ….……..… 117-393 mg Greens, 1 cup cooked ………….…300-516 mg Chick peas, 1 cup …….…..…….…….. 300 mg Tofu, 1 cup ……………..……….……. 290 mg

  49. Calcium Sources • Cow’s milk, 1cup.…………………288 mg. • Greens, 1cup..………………...300-517 mg. • Beans, 1cup……….....…….….250-325 mg. • Figs, 3 large………………….……...78 mg. • Apricots or peaches, 1/2 cup…....50-60 mg. • Okra, 1cup.………………….……..290 mg. • Sesame seed, 2 T.………………….258 mg. • Blackstrap molasses, 2 T.……...….274 mg.

  50. Stress and Cancer Little or no stress High stress Instance of colon cancer and rectal cancer: 5.5 times greater
