Our visiting 5 year old girl gives me a glimpse of how bad our food perceptions used to be
My wife’s 5 year old female nephew by her cousin who has been staying with us for more than 2 weeks now is very educational for us. We have what you call a clash of food culture. She is of the usual television informed majority seduced by the television advertisements.
She was temporarily housed in our compound due to what they suspected as allergies to the neighbor’s chickens raising 30 plus fighting cocks. It turns out from my observation of this little girl that it is because of a low fat and junk food diet provided to this girl makes her constipated. Her parents had no idea that she was already experiencing extreme constipation. While we are already freaked out by non-pooping of 1 day or 2 days… this little girl went on 5 or 6 day non pooping expeditions and the dad and the nannie were not the least bit alarmed… because they haven’t been taught about that little fact. Constipation will make you sick… constipation can kill you… constipation leads to your body making anaerobic germs to digest the poop stuck in your gut.
Check out this little girl’s food menu:
Breakfast lunch and dinner… cooked white rice
Breakfast add instant noodles, or bread with commercial cheese, or breakfast cereal — fruit loops and Milo brand chocolate milk drink
Lunch is either hotdogs or any cooked fish…
And absolutely no fat…. so this little girl consumes white rice like there’s no tomorrow.
And this little girl refuses all the fruits we have in the house. She’s not familiar with any of the local Philippine fruits!
It can be amusing at times but I’m not amused when my own children are being given the junk food they bring in.
So this is how we used to be. I used to be something like this until around 7 years ago. It was not until I had my own children when I wanted to learn about the truth about what’s really best for my family. Plus that fact that our health challenges got greater and greater.
How do I know our path is correct? We’re solving our health challenges by ourselves and we need to see doctors less and less… in fact… none at all. Now you know why most of the medical profession don’t want us to learn to fend for ourselves… it’s bad for their business.
Child sinusitis addressed by drops of diluted hydrogen peroxide in both ears
My 7 year old boy yesterday complained of stuck mucus in his sinuses. Poor little guy, he inherited his mom’s sinus configuration, I never get sinusitis myself. I gave him several options to choose from: cayenne tincture, cayenne powder in soup, quantum minerals plus drops in his eyes, diluted hydrogen peroxide drops in his ears. He chose diluted hydrogen peroxide in his ears.
Now the root cause of this bout of mucus he has I think comes from the previous days where he drank yakult… a manufactured milk product. We have a nephew visiting and they raided the refrigerator. So the root cause of most mucus is mucus forming foods irritating the body and the body is forced to produce mucus to protect itself. The worst mucus forming foods are dairy and wheat (anything with flour).
Back to my son. I have a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide / agua oxygenada and I got a little shot glass. I put half amount of reverse osmosis water and half amount of hydrogen peroxide. Got a dropper and put some 5 drops of diluted hydrogen peroxide in each ear. After each ear my 7 year old blows his nose of mucus. When both ears were finished with the diluted hydrogen peroxide treatment, his sinusitis was gone. I got a hug, a kiss and a commendation that I was a good healer. Anything for my children.
Simple headache cured immediately by hydrating with coconut juice
My 5 year old boy came home after lunch yesterday and was complaining he had a headache. I asked where. He said, everywhere his whole head.
I had just finished lunch and we still had half a pitcher of fresh raw newly opened coconut juice. So I immediately filled my adult glass to half and gave it to my 5 year old boy. He quizzically expressed his doubts as to what good is that supposed to do.
I taught my boy that most headaches are mere signals of dehydration. You may not feel thirsty, but indeed you are thirsty. If you have been drinking water, it is pointless and ineffective usually because it is of the incorrect structure. My 7 year old illustrates with his body that when he drinks regular water, it merely makes a stop over at his stomach and heads straight to be urinated. But when he drinks coconut juice he feels the coconut juice dispersing throughout his body and he does not feel like urinating it. The innocent observation of a 7 year old is what we should be listening to.
Back to my 5 year old, in about 2 minutes of drinking that half glass of coconut juice his headache was gone and I got a big kiss. Very simple solution, great rewards!
For those who live in a place where there are no coconuts? Squeeze a lemon, an orange, or any citrus in water and wait 5 minutes to give it structure. Drink this. Better yet, open a hydrating fruit like water melon and eat.
I tried Sally Fallon of the book Nourishing Traditions recipe for Fish Stock
A few days ago I decided to try and make sole fish stock as described in page 119 of Sally Fallon’s book: Nourishing Traditions. This is a hands on application of Dr. Weston A Price’s teachings. The reason I’m getting into the cooked recipes in this book is because I observed that it may take more time for me to overcome the resistance of my wife to more raw animal foods and that my children are also influenced by my wife and the maids around them. So I will have to learn to feed them much better cooked food while still hammering on more raw food.
“…meat stocks are extremely nutritious, containing the minerals of bone, cartilage, marrow and vegetables as electrolytes, a form that is easy to assimilate. Acidic wine or vinegar added during cooking helps to draw minerals, particularly calcium, magnesium and potassium into the broth.”
“Raw food compounds are colloidal and tend to be hydrophilic, meaning they attract liquids. Thus, when we eat a salad or some other raw food, the hydrophilic colloids attract digestive juices for rapid and effective digestion. Colloids that have been heated are generally hydrophobic – they repel liquids, making foods harder to digest. However, the proteinaceous gelatin in meat broths has the unusual property by which gelatin attracts water to form desserts, like Jello, allows it to attract digestive juices to the surface of cooked food particles.”
In my fish stock I bought 1 whole kilo of sole and added all the materials required: butter, onions, carrot, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, my white wine was yacon wine, organic coconut vineger, and filtered water. We let the stock simmer for 4 hours.
And upon refrigeration, yes! My stock turned gelatinous – meaning we did a good job! Hooray, now my cook knows how to do this. Next time we will try beef… but that takes a long time… 12 hours.
Here is a picture of my gelatinous fish stock:
Student of nursing apalled that Dr. Tam Mateo is not a western medical doctor
A student nurse has “questions” ridiculing the knowledge of Dr. Tam Mateo because in his opinion he does not respect Dr. Tam’s credentials because he says Dr. Tam is not a western medical doctor. Seems this student nurse has a lot to learn and should brush up on reading the internet to be exposed to other better doctors than mere western mds who are mostly mere pawns of drug companies. In my experience, the good western MDs are those in emergency cases… western mds for diseases are mostly ineffective… in fact they batted a big fat zero for myself… this is why I had to look beyond their idiocy.
My answer to the student nurse is that Dr. Tam is a NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR. And Dr. Tam says that and posts that on his brochures and his store… The First Naturopathic doctor in the Philippines. Dr. Tam dropped everything and learned about true cures to save his wife from cancer, which he did. So he knows about curing cancer than your regular western MD who says “there is no cure for cancer” — idiots.
The first lesson Dr. Tam teaches is constipation, how to be free of constipation, with is the root of many diseases. And Dr. Tam has one of the most powerful, potent and fast acting original product the Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea… it is a herbal colon cleanser… freshly made without preservatives. When all your drug laxatives have failed… Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea will always come through for you. It works so fast… appendicitis operations have been cancelled because Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea acts fast enough to save people from appendicitis.
Now what does your western MD education teach you about constipation and colon cleansing as the root of most diseases? Toxicity? Self intoxication? Do hospital procedures first suspect constipation and the cure for constipation and the prevention of constipation to prevent and cure a vast majority of diseases? Nope. They don’t. I know in Russia, they do.
Dr. Tam deserves our respect because he teaches… for free! You can attend his Sunday seminars for free! No need to pay him… no commitment to buy anything… free trial of his Miracle Tea! Why? It is because health education challenged narrow minded people need education and to personally experience TRUTH.
I’m not saying that I agree with all of Dr. Tam’s opinions, I’m saying he is on the right track and he indeed has helped many people. Dr. Tam is a raw foodist, the raw vegan kind. I’m a raw foodist, the raw omnivore kind… I eat raw organic fruits and raw organic vegetables like dr. Tam, and I add raw organic / wild animal foods as well.
Dr. Tam deserves our love and respect because he does great amounts of free GOOD in the Philippines. By educating his patients he sets you FREE… FREEDOM from the chains of idiotic western MD wrong hypothesis about diseases.

“so i have a question for everyone…i have been told by some that its effective…some not…but first let me ask you is dr tam an medical doctor?…he can be called as a doctor as well maybe because of PhD… in the prescription i couldnt see any MD at the end of his name…and the question he prescribes his medicine to different diseases yet did he able to study every disease???….im under a medical field im a student nurse….as to what the broad of knowledge i have in the course of medicine you have to study every disease that has a specialty for two years…how old is dr tam?…did he start studying medicine since 3 years old?…wake up people…”
Disagreeing with a fructose = fruit opinion causing weight gain and more
I’m harping here against a low-carb blog opinion about fruit being unhealthy for humans entitled “Fructose–Not as healthy as it appears to be” which is a simplistic chemical mindset view of what food is. These chemical people are primitive in their pseudo science as they equate fruit = fructose.
See http://lowcarb4u.blogspot.com/2008/07/fructose-not-as-healthy-as-it-appears.html with the snippet in the post:
“Fructose is the sugar is found in most fruits. Like glucose, it is a simple sugar, but our bodies handle fructose in a special way. Look at the diagram below, which appears in Fructose, weight gain, and the insulin resistance syndrome by Sharon Elliot and coauthors.”
Weight gain my foot from fruits? These authors are non-experiential in their approach. Have they ever met a FAT fruitarian? There are no FAT fruitarians! Fruits cannot make people fat. Cooked grains, cooked potatoes do make people fat… routinely… in the millions! Check out the ridiculous chemical diagram:
These simply “distilled opinion” of what I think is garbage about chemicalizing food. Saying fruit = sugar or fruit = fructose. Which in my opinion is baloney and wrong. Just as we cannot just lump protein = beef = wild salmon = wild tuna = farmed fish or FAT = canola oil = butter = beef brains = marrow = extra virgin olive oil
This is why we humans crave for variety. All these foods are different. All these foods give different results. All these foods have different nutrition.
Fruit is of paleolithic heritage. In tropical and forested areas, people had to snack on fruit for hydration and food in between kills of meat.
Paleolithic times does not mean exclusively ice age times… where people were forced to be carnivorous… the ice ages came in and out.
Weston Price studied different isolated healthy tribes and eskimos were just one of them.
In times of healing… not so sweet fruits are used as fasting tools.
What i’m saying is that this diagram about fructose may be true for PURE fructose as a chemical but certainly DOES NOT apply to all the fruits of today and up to 5 million years ago.
This post does not mean to suggest to go either high carb or low carb… it merely suggests that fruits are a paleolithic food and the amount of fruits people ate would have depended on where they were and what kind of fruits were available and at what season.
Which fruits are bad? Commercially farmed with chemical fertilizers, all forms of pesticides, herbicides, molluscisides, fungicides, etc. Then picked to early, then irradiated, sprayed to ripen with chemicals. Sprayed with preservatives at the store. Probably even canned, preserved, or dried with even more chemicals. And they call this “fruit”.
Which fruits are good? Organic, wild, picked ripe, eaten immediately with none of the above chemicals and processing.
Note to newbies… quantify everything… read and experience for yourself.
