More than 100 years ago in 1905, Dr. Thompson wrote his book on Practical Dietetics with Special Reference to Diet in Diseases. Most probably your hospital or doctor does not know this, so it is best you take care of the diet part yourself. Most hospitals have crappy food because food is NOT the medicine of hospitals… it is drugs and surgery and radiation… most of the time.

This book is a keeper written by an altruistic doctor of medicine in 1905 free of the corrupted knowledge we know today that makes people ill instead of well.

Nowadays I just do a blanked Raw Paleo Diet and that should take care of that illness, but it is interesting to know the finer points based on the food and knowledge available to the altruistic Dr. Thompson during his time in his location.

Excerpt from the Preface:

” It is rarely feasible to feed the sick upon any system of accurate food weighing, laboratory calculations of calories, or the results of single analyses of gastric contents. Such systems add scientific interest to the general subject of dietetics, but the problems of right feeding in disease must be studied in the light of clinical experience, and modified to meet ever changing conditions. One of the commonest of dietetic errors is the too long continuance of a dietary which, although at first beneficial, may result in anaemia or asthenia by becoming monotonous or failing to meet all the complex demands of nutrition.

Diseases apparently demanding opposite dietetic treatment may coexist in the same patient, and without great care starvation may ensue. No one food is curative of any disease, just as no one food may be said to be causative of any disease. These principles, which form the basis of the book, have been still further emphasized in the present edition.”

Almost 100 years ago, this book Food And Feeding In Health And Disease by Chalmers Watson was published and is today freely available in the Chestnut of Books http://chestofbooks.com/health/nutrition/Disease/index.html

I stumbled onto this book while looking for a cure for my son’s tuberculosis. Significant here were the recommendations of raw or rare beef with pressed muscle blood juice and a highly carnivorous diet for tuberculosis.

During this time, this healer already knew the recommendations for various popular diseases which he knew in 1915, almost 100 years ago to be thoroughly curable. He even devotes 10 chapters to curing diabetes. Today’s medical paradigm thinks diabetes type 2 is incurable… what a bunch of losers… too greedy hoodwinking the public into taking their awful drugs for profit.

Keep this book in your library. Save it somehow, print it. It is but one piece of the puzzle. It has insight, it has experience behind it. During the time this book was written, their medicine was not yet corrupted by the drug money paradigm. This is one of those books my teacher Barefoot Herbalist MH said we should treasure.

More than 100 years ago, some people already KNEW the cures for various “incurable” diseases. This author wrote some of them down. Happy reading!

On October 3 2007, Direct-MS (http://www.direct-ms.org ), sponsored a public presentation by Dr. Loren Cordain of Colorado State University on the topic of “The Paleo Diet and Multiple Sclerosis”. Dr Cordain is a leading researcher in the field of the roles that various nutritional factors play in chronic diseases such as MS.

Discussing what pre-agricultural diets are: paleo diets or paleolithic diets because the paleolithic is the old stone age, the era that humans evolved in, the era before the advent of agriculture.

Eat only meat, fat, fruit, and vegetables. Grains are the culprits. Those heavy starch potatoes and pastas and rice and breads and grains and beans are the culprit. Special mention to nightshades as inflammation causing.

But I will let Dr. Cordain do the talking. This is part 7 of 7.
