Tomatoes and Formalin? Exploring Kamatis Tagalog (an alleged Philippine variety)

by

I know I’ve been claiming that tomatoes are not paleolithic things. And that tomatoes are nightshades and may cause inflammation. That some people are allergic to tomatoes, that I did my tomato experiments, and the last experiment I did with tomatoes, salt and pepper was killing me after 7 days. Now comes a new theory. Maybe I was being poisoned by formalin preservatives in tomatoes?

Lately in the markets I’ve been coming across a different kind of tomato, they call it “kamatis tagalog” or a native Philippine tomato. The old timers say Imelda Marcos in the 1970s promoted this variety of tomatoes. The seller’s marketing line for these tomatoes is that these native Philippine tomatoes are organic. That they are not soaked or stored in formalin.

Kamatis Tagalog ("Native" Philippine Tomato?)

Exposing the soaking of regular tomatoes in formalin. So maybe that’s just it huh? Unless you trust your farmer, the regular tomato in the markets is soaked and stored in formalin. A preservative, a poison. Not meant for human consumption.

So back to last year’s tomato experiments on myself, was it the formalin in the tomatoes that were killing me? Maybe it is time to do new tomato experiments!

Tomatoes are very useful healing foods as Aajonus Vonderplanitz suggests. That is if you aren’t allergic to them, and if they aren’t soaked in formalin, and maybe they should be organic, and it may also depend on the variety.

Health Benefits of Coconut Oil: A Great Source of FAT – Dengue Fever Update

by

Our younger maid who has become sickly lately and lately recovering from dengue fever was suffering from fat deficiency and bad fat poisoning. Here is why:

I first noticed my maid was a fat phobic person. She would meticulously remove all the animal fat, whatever animal she was eating. Remove all the pork fat, remove all the fish fat, remove all duck or chicken skin, cook egg yolks to death.

The only fat she seemed to be able to consume was cooking oil, whatever her food was fried with. For some reason, they have this suspicious looking “culinary oil” which was allegedly coconut oil… but suspiciously cheap. It was not your usual langis. It was too yellowish. Probably hydrogenated, hell, even recycled. And that is what she eats only in terms of fat.

This maid, she came down with dengue fever and has been sick for a week. She’s the only one who came down with dengue fever. And I attribute this to fat poisoning. I thought that if she can’t eat any fat at all and gags on them… I tried giving her fermented cod liver oil… then may as well massage virgin coconut oil on her skin, maybe her skin can absorb enough into her blood stream.

Then I probingly asked her if she could eat the virgin coconut oil. And she said yes. She found the taste appealing. Only for me to find out later that indeed it was coconut oil she was usually consuming. Let me explain further.

Our maid had a stash of a tiny plastic flask that contained langis, cooked coconut oil with a few herbs and special prayers from her home town in her province. She would eat coconut oil “langis” some 5 times a week. And THAT was her main source of healthy fat. But she ran out of her langis a few weeks ago. And that led her to keep getting sick.

So I was happy to give her more virgin coconut oil. And I asked if she could call her home town and ask them to send her more of her coconut oil “langis”. Indeed she had requested. And a new bottle was waiting for her in Intramuros. I gave her uncle some money to pick up the special coconut oil from Intramuros.

So how has the diluted orange juice been doing for her? Pretty good. She’s recovering from dengue fever. Steadily gaining strength. And she now has her source of coconut oil: the virgin coconut oil and her coconut oil “langis.”

What are the health benefits of coconut oil? Well, if you are fat phobic and do not get any animal fat, coconut oil is the best you got as a substitute. Raw grass fed animal fats would be best, but coconut oil will have to do if you haven’t joined the raw paleo diet movement yet.

Diabetes Cured via Paleo Diet and Sabotage Attempt by Playing up the Cholesterol Scare

by

Unbelievable.  Remember our latest hero Jeff who recently cured himself of diabetes as he went on a cooked paleo diet?  Jeff reports… not so fast.  He just got word from his doctor that indeed his blood sugar problems are over, but that his cholesterol readings were “high” and that the doctor recommended Jeff go on a low fat diet!  Oh how they sabotage their patients!

Not so fast! The doctor called with the results of my lab work from my follow up appt. Blood sugar was “good”, but he advised I immediately start a low-fat diet because my cholesterol was “high”.. I didn’t even bother asking for the numbers. I’ll get them at my next appointment in February.

In the meantime, I’m feeling better and better every day. More energy, consistently normal blood sugar, and generally just feeling good.

Oooohhh, it’s times like these that I just can’t resist getting riled up:

High cholesterol BS (x10) or (x100) or (x1000) See http://www.thincs.org/ for honest science.

Do some egg yolk liver flushes (try 4 consecutive mornings). See instructions here for egg yolk liver flushing. Click here.

And then after a week take those damn cholesterol readings again.

High cholesterol just means your liver needs cleaning.

And be wary of pharma dictated cholesterol levels… they just want to sell drugs. A low fat diet is the surest way to illness.

High Cholesterol levels leading to heart disease is absolute BS.

Cholesterol lowering drugs are even bigger BS. Take enough of those cholesterol drugs and be depressed, and sick and suicidal.

I personally do not get cholesterol readings because they are BS meaningless.

Oh and Jeff,

Your doctor reeks of SABOTAGE.

Since he can’t make money out of you through labeling you as a DIABETIC and giving you diabetic drugs.

He’s trying to make money out of you through labeling you as HIGH CHOLESTEROL case and eventually giving you cholesterol lowering drugs. A low fat diet will NOT result in lower cholesterol readings.

This is 2012. The game is up. The pharma establishment is exposed for the FRAUDS they really are.

Learn to trust your feelings. You know you are FEELING SOOO MUCH BETTER. You are on to something GREAT. The low fat diet recommendation is the ULTIMATE SABOTAGE.

Diabetes Cure Kick in the Butt Requested at a Paleo Diet Forum

by

Seems diabetes sufferers are finally discovering the paleo diet and are trickling into Caveman Forum. Good for them. Here is Tony requesting for a “kick in the butt” to launch / inspire him to go with paleo diet to address his type 2 diabetes problem.

My name is Tony, a Yorkshire guy living with my gorgeous girl in Glasgow Scotland. I have been T2 DB for too many years now and have been stupid enough to think I can deal with it. The docs keep trying to push me onto metformin but I have always been against pills yet even with my best efforts I still cant get my sugar under control. Before anybody states the obvious I know I am a fool thinking I can beat this alone and without medical help. I have had 2 foot ulcers that both took months to clear and the last one poisend my system to such a level that I had to have surgery to clear the wound and fortunately I got away with it. Now I am getting secondary problems with the DB which I belive are periferal nueropahy that is affecting my legs to the point where my mobility is getting worse and I need a stick when outside of the house…

Ah well, I can’t resist cries for help like this so I gave him my kick:

Medication is an idiotic harmful crutch for type II diabetes. In the medium term it will kill you.

The reason is you still haven’t got your nutrition done right if you rely on diabetes drugs. And of course the myriad of side effects of drugs.

And your SAD wrong nutrition will still kill you.

Rawish paleo diet will cure you. The rawer you can stand it, the better and faster you will heal.

Also this: http://www.curemanual.com/2011/04/type-2-diabetes-natural-cure-lecture-of-dewayne-mcculley-parts-1-3-of-13/

Sit through the 13 parts, he’s cool and funny… and write down his breakfast protocol, his super meal:

– seared wild salmon (note seared, as raw as you can stand)
– extra virgin olive oil (his raw fat)
– slightly steamed broccoli or brussel sprouts (plant minerals)

But in my opinion, just get raw wild salmon sashimi (or other raw wild sashimi like tuna or blue marlin) or extra thick fat raw / seared grass fed beef steaks, and if you must supplement with raw fat, get green pastures fermented butter oil with fermented cod liver oil. There’s also juicing appropriate raw greens.

Diabetes type II is absolutely curable.

What needs curing is the mental blueprint of health… away from the idiotic western medical mass media promoted SAD diet and drugs and the belief in the myths of cholesterol which leads to fat phobia, the myths of fiber, and the myths of complex carbohydrates.

Please take pics of your food. Post them.
Let’s see how much fat, and how much protein and how much carbs you get.
You need some carbs, just not the insane SAD portions.

In my experience, cooked animal meats make me sleepy. Raw animal meats do not make me sleepy.

I eat my food sequentially, mono eating, do not mix. That digests better.

So you could eat:

1. animal foods
wait 15 minutes.
2. vegetables

Please check your bowel movement. You must move every single day.

It takes time to learn new habits.

If you can find a successful paleo diet practitioner in your area you can be friends with, it will help you transition faster.

Don’t worry about cheating at times, don’t feel guilty. Changing habits takes time. Just get back on the horse again if you fall off.

With paleo diet sometimes people get hungry because they don’t eat enough meat. Because without the voluminous carbs, you need to eat much much more animal food and animal fat, in the quantities you aren’t used to, or expected. Think chowing down 1-2 pounds or more of fatty animal foods a day on a regular basis.

Gained Weight on Raw Paleo Diet in 2011

by

I’m happy to report I achieved the weight gain I yearned for in the past 2011. I started 2011 with some tape worms and at 124 pounds. I got rid of the tape worms with a herbal parasite cleanser. That allowed me to gain some weight.

When durian season came in September I gorged on it daily. Even today I found a source of delicious frozen durian and it is well worth the expense. With durian as a staple food in my raw paleo diet I was able to gain weight up to 136 pounds by December 31, 2011.

I did lose some weight when my first son got into a mega health crisis with all my energies and facilities concentrated at his disposal. But I gained my weight back when my boy started getting better by December.

So after 4 years of raw paleo diet I am able to see how to lose weight and gain weight.

Gaining weight for me is just about eating very nutritious durian. Losing that weight will merely involve stopping the eating of durian. Which I guess I should be doing after a few weeks.

I should get into something physical and make a new and attractive body for myself. Still in the planning stages of my 2012 year.
