People know me as a raw paleo dieter. I like my food raw everything, raw fruit, raw vegs, lots of raw meat and raw fat. I would like to make a CORRECTION in many peoples PERCEPTION of the dietary practice we follow in our home with my wife and my kids.

They follow a usually COOKED MEAT PALEO DIET plus organic RICE and sometimes KAMOTE. Some may want to call this specific carbohydrate diet.

Their version of PALEO DIET is:

– COOKED land animal meat and sea food
(usually beef, duck eggs, horse, various fish or squid)
– some RARE land animal meat and sea food
(rare beef, rare clams, rare oysters)
– some RAW land animal meat and sea food
(raw eggs, raw fish, raw shrimp, raw clams, raw oysters, sashimi)

Organic
– Raw Vegetables juiced
– Raw Vegetables salad, sea weed
– cooked vegetables

Local organic
– RAW FRUIT.

Notice the absence of intensively farmed livestock. No pork, no chicken, no tilapia, no bangus, no cat fish.

Please read carefully what I wrote about the diet of my wife and the children.

Notice the absence of any other starch other than rice or kamote / sweet potatoes.

Cooking Oil is GHEE or Virgin Coconut oil or animal fat oil like horse fat or beef fat.

All other cooking oils such as vegetable oils are BANNED because we know that the zero cholesterol advertisements are SCAMS, that these corn oils, soya oil, canola oil, and any other hydrogenated oils are super bad for health.

Some approved condiments are onions, ginger, bawang, kikoman fermented and brewed soy sauce, sea salt, freshly ground pepper.

No artificial flavors at all. No flavor cubes, no sachets, no msg.

All packaged nuts are sent to the toaster oven for 5 minutes before eating to kill fungi aflatoxins.

Over the years we had to evolve our diet and to be strict because the kids kept getting sick. Now they don’t get sick anymore. They get sick when they stray or are fed
by aunts and uncles the usual commercial crap.

When the kids are sick, my wife and I agree to put them on 100% RAW PALEO DIET because we have proven every time it gets rid of illness the fastest way.

I cannot force the children to go on raw paleo diet because I have to accept they need to socialize with their peers. But I do temporarily force them when they are sick.

This whole mess in the USA Federal Reserve with the Quantitative Easing part 2 or QE2 makes me wonder how to go about investing some cash which will be eaten away by the immense inflation about to come. Well my friend Dave of the LML Group in Hong Kong has this opinion about inflation investing:

Many people do not invest because they have the fear that they would be making wrong decisions which may lead them to lose money. They are not alone; many people have the same fear. However, getting to know more about personal finance and investment, the faster we will realize that the biggest mistake is being too cautious, or worse, doing nothing at all with your money. Inflation is the threat to long-term financial security.

Inflation takes away valuable parts of your capital – the money that you currently have. If nothing is done with your money, you will lose purchasing power over time. In the long run, its value, when measured against the purchasing power of that time, will be much smaller.

The only real way to beat inflation is with growth, which increases the size of our inheritance. This growth will be achieved only if our investment’s growth rate is faster than that of inflation. Investor’s do not need large amounts of money to be successful. It can be with smaller funds, which can be invested in equities. You actually need to see how it is possible by building an appropriate investment strategy.

Diversification is the key against the risk

In investment, the easiest way to reduce risk is through the planning and formation of a diversified portfolio, by diversified we refer to the investments behaving differently from one another in the same scenario. For example if we invest mainly in debt schemes, they will not benefit from a rising stock market. On the other hand, if you are investing in shares, the value of a portfolio will decline significantly in market cycles, but can be recovered over time with new prices.
But in a diversified portfolio it is appropriately balanced. The worst thing is to have our money in a single scheme and accidentally make serious mistakes during tense situations such as declining market.

Volatility lessens with diversification.

Investment: Risk is defined as the possibility that our money will not get expected returns or may even decrease in value. Risk equals volatility: Each scheme has an associated risk that is important to know before investing. It is imperative to note here that the greater our range of investment prospects, the lower the effects of volatility or risk associated with our portfolio.

I just came from a swanky business restaurant at a big metropolitan building and they served a Chinese lauriat.  So my contact says there’s no MSG in the food.  I came prepared, I had eaten a big big serving of DURIAN before I came over.

So I had a few dumplings.  Let’s see how my new stomach takes it.  I figured I have to be sociable some times.  Let’s see if my tummy holds with this test.

Upon reaching home I had 2 small slices of fresh raw pineapple, a few minutes later I drank fresh raw coconut juice to hopefully provide me hydration for the cooked food I ate.

Now that I think about all the food that the Chinese lauriat served, it is a recipe for deliberate EMPACHO. You know, eating too many different items all in your tummy so your tummy complains it can’t digest them all and you suffer.  That is empacho.

Horrors, I advice all my loved ones to avoid Chinese Lauriats… total recipe for disaster.  If you attend one of these binge sessions, just choose one or two items at the most and stick with that.  Lauriat is suicide.

Whoever invented Chinese lauriats maybe wanted to kill the emperor with empacho.

Last week a 42 year old lady was bleeding to death in a hospital one day via her vagina. She has a history of ovarian cysts. May have gotten worse they surmise. Hospital offers nothing, they said they can only offer chemotherapy.

WTF? The lady is bleeding to death and you offer only chemotherapy?

Good thing a sister was my office neighbor. She asked me for help. I said give her juiced kamote tops, a full glass. I called Vander Gaditano, and he concurred, give her 2 glass fulls a day and the bleeding will stop.

What do you know, it’s been a week and the lady is still alive.

But sad to say, the family has not done anything else to help her. I gave them Vander Gaditano’s number and they did not call him back. Are they just waiting for her to die?

I berated my neighbor, no love lost, she didn’t even scream for help with the burglar. I berated her that she and her siblings should chip in and pay for Vander’s services to save her sister. At least call him up and have him stay overnight with her sick sister so he can give instructions how to make her well. What is P 10,000 for professional service to save a person’s life?

The hospital already gave up on her and they checked out. Only people like Vander or I can save such people. Go ahead and do it. Why? Is P 10,000 not worth her sister’s life? Do you believe the marketing line of that hospital? Her sister was bleeding to death and they have the gall to scam you of all your money with chemotherapy?

Their family knows chemotherapy is a scam because they already saw the scam with their brother.

Do you honestly think just kamote tops will save her for long? The deal is to give her nutrition and cleanse her at the same time.

Sometimes people can be brain dead when in panic.

Cheer me up guys. Burglar / Thief broke into my office last night. Damn terrified neighbor lady already heard the loud banging at my gate railings yet was too chicken to call out the burglar.

Burglar was able to yank out a bar in the grill, then smashed the door knob and the door bolt.

He was skinny enough or had a kid accomplice to slip through the gap he made and was able to take out three 22″ lcd monitors. 2 toy pellet guns MP5 which I was going to auction off and a cell phone. Also took a pair of cheap computer speakers and a computer mouse.

He couldn’t take out a large cased cpu box but it was already ready to go.

The office staff was still able to work, I took a monitor from my house, but there’s a lot to be done reinforcing the bars with a solid plate and buying a brand new door tomorrow.

Of course I had to buy 3 new LED monitors.

Cheer me up guys.

How can you not be frustrated with this eye doctor surgeon? First he does several very painful surgeries on my friend J. Then tells J that the problem with his eye is it is NOT HEALING so he pumps a gas bubble in his left eye to keep the lasered portion from peeling. So J calls me up and asks for help with healing. We do EVERYTHING right. J heals unbelievably fast, healing everything and anything all over his body, not just his eye. The eye doctor surgeon monitors his eye and says yes J is now in healing mode. A few days later the same eye doctor surgeon says middle aged J (48) is HEALING TOO FAST LIKE A YOUNG MAN and this is now detrimental to his left eye surgery recovery.

“Bad news from the doctor today. More surgery may be necessary due to the EXCESSIVE HEALING and scar tissue formation.” was the initial text message I received from J before we went into a conversation last night.

The dreaded more invasive procedure involving some oil initially J wanted to avoid is now being suggested by his eye doctor surgeon… because J has OVERSHOT his healing goals? Good grief and loads of frustration with this doctor. What do you want? First you say he isn’t healing, now you say he is OVER HEALING?????????????? Healing too fast like a young man in his 20s???????????? Why can’t the doc just admit that he botched the job, made a mistake instead of telling J you are damned if you DON’T HEAL and damned if you OVER HEAL!!!! How do you heal moderately to his precise specifications???

Time for a 2nd opinion and a 3rd opinion of an eye doctor surgeon!

In meantime J will be stopping the juicing of nutritious fruit and vegetable and just eating them plainly. J is on a rawish paleo diet with raw vegetables, raw fruit and seared beef and raw fish. He also did some egg yolk liver flushing and avocado leaves tea kidney cleansing. And all this allegedly brings on EXCESSIVE HEALING… HEALING TOO FAST LIKE A YOUNG MAN…. unbelievable!

Awesome Sunday! My in laws were treated by Sifu Jem Sam. His expertise are Acupuncture, Bone Setting, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Nutritional Therapy & Detoxification. I was with him as he did his stuff and he talked on and on the whole afternoon and evening. I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it, I know it… from one healer to another, this man is the real deal… yeah! The last time I felt something like this was when I first talked with Vander Gaditano. Sifu Jem Sam is a treasure to us all.

Sam was initially treating my sister in law for some illness. She found great results and referred Sam to her parents. Luckily I was around and witnessed his techniques and found them to be excellent. Yes, I can see his acupuncture is at ultra high levels, but he goes beyond acupuncture… he goes the whole gamut of healing. Bone Setting, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Nutritional Therapy & Detoxification.

Another interesting thing about Sam is his knowledge of kung fu, tai chi and other fighting styles while being a monk of the Shaolin Yau Kung Mun. He’s one of those few white people to be taught this ancient Chinese art. You can learn more about Yau Kung Mun at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yau_Kung_Moon

Fighting is one of Sam’s passions in his younger days and I was lucky enough to browse through his book teaching the art of Yau Kung Mun. Reminds me of those Japanese cartoons with Dragon Ball Z and the old Chinese kung fu movies.

The great thing about these kung fu masters is they are taught how to fight, how to maim, how to kill but at the same time, they also have to learn how to fix people up after beating them up, pretty handy after sparing sessions or competitions. Seems Sifu Jem Sam lately is more passionate about healing.

Sifu Jem Sam has big dreams. In the future there will be medical centers all around the country and they will be administering real healing in the way he teaches it, in the way I also understand it, healing that really works and is available for all Filipinos.

This is just the first among many articles I will have to write about Sifu Jem Sam.
