We had pepper steak with beef stock and red wine this evening

by

This evening is part of our attempt to rid ourselves of the dreaded monotony of soy sauce.  I noticed the other week that our cook was making soy sauce based meals 5 times a week.  That just bothers me.  My children are eating that junk.  While I’m all raw and condiment free, they get the bad condiment soy sauce.

Our cook’s repertoire is limited as she cannot use tomatoes so tomato sauce based dishes are out of the question.  We have banned night shades from our diet.  So all she has left is soy sauce.  So I have to resort to guiding our cook to cook other ways and means.

Last weekend I invested in a stock pot.  I invested in beef marrow bones and a hoof and we made some beef stock.  We boiled it for 10 hours using our new charcoal cooker.  And we bought a big sack of charcoal from Batangas, charcoal from hard wood, long burning.

Now that we had stock, last weekend we also passed by the indian grocery and bought a bunch of different spices.  This evening I had our cook read of on Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions recipe for pepper steak.  I had bought several kilos of prime sirloin and I brought out a bottle of red wine.  This recipe required 2 cups of beef stock and we did have beef stock.

The beef pepper steak was a hit with the children.  The beef was overcooked.  Everything was overcooked from my point of view because I like my beef raw, freshly killed.  The kids loved it.  My wife loved it.  So it must be good.  I had to eat it and eat with my kids as well.  Argghhhh… well cooked beef… ah, the sacrifices of being a father.  I don’t have to eat it next time.  Next time I will get my raw beef and just pour the pepper steak sauce on it.

The kids liked it and there is always a next time, let’s cook it rare next time.

HPV Vaccine Harms Ashley Ryburn Immensely: She tells the story herself

by

Ashley Ryburn was a healthy young lady… until she was victimized by the HPV vaccine.  She tells you her story personally.  She has a video calling out to ask for help.  The healers in curezone.com can help.  Please take a good look at Ashley and tell your friends about her story.  Don’t take the same poison Ashley did.

Personal disclosure.  I do not vaccinate my own children.  The reason I do not vaccinate my children is because I have done my research on both sides and me and my wife have concluded ABSOLUTELY that childhood vaccinations do not work and are in fact harmful.

How to Cure Tooth Decay book arrives in the mail!

by

Awesome! The book I ordered has arrived. How to Cure Tooth Decay by Rami Nagel.  Now to get into some wife and child brainwashing action.  More fats, activator x, drastically less rice.  I am on a war path against this idiotic Filipino tradition of worshipping rice as a staple.  Rice as a staple is un-deserving.  If rice was so great then my first born shouldn’t be having tooth decay.   He eats so much rice, every single day.

For the reader’s information, I myself do not eat rice, for some 15+ months now.  It has been great.  It has been wonderful.  Rice eating is just an addiction folks.  Nothing for you to miss.

This evening we will discuss this over some pepper steak we are cooking from the recipe book  Nourishing Traditions.

The stumbling blocks are: my boy, my wife, the cook, the maids.

My friend’s 3 year old child undergoing speech therapy?

by

My best friend’s child is undergoing speech therapy.  He says his boy is already 3 years old and not talking yet.  What’s worse is that speech therapy sessions cost P 5,000 + per week!

I had the obvious suggestion.  Stop watching television.  He says his son doesn’t watch television.  I said one time at lunch I saw the nannies pop up a DVD and let his children watch some kiddie film.  He says they do watch videos.  I said, videos are just as bad.  The conversations are scripted and require no involvement from the children.  Children should be having natural conversations with adults, never television… including videos… it’s not just the television advertisements and the inane topics, it is also those kiddie videos that are harmful… especially for growing minds.

Children’s minds are blank… they have to network and build while growing up.  Watching a television screen is unnatural… they need personal, face to face, adult contact so they can participate in real conversations.  Take a look at those poor children watching a movie or a video or a tv program… they are hypnotized zombies.  Their minds are shut down and stunted.  Same for adults.

I don’t consider myself really much smarter potentially than other people in the realm of health… it’s just that I don’t watch television so my mind is free to grow and learn.  Stop watching television and you will see how simply logical and methodical cancer cures and other disease cures are.

Cheese is constipating, address it with virgin coconut oil

by

Last month a late Christmas gift arrived for my wife.  3 different types of round Dutch cheese and a big slice of another kind of Dutch cheese.  Hmmm… I have fond memories of european cheese.  I remember my trips to France and in a buffet I would rather stuff my face with the various French cheeses rather than the main course.  Now I remember, I became constipated in France too!

Anyway, curiosity and fond memories led to experiment with this dutch cheese.  Experimenting is easy for me.  My current diet is a raw paleolithic diet: raw organic fruits, raw organic animal food and at a high raw fat low carb ratio.  So I’m all well and fine and healthy.  In comes the dutch cheese, 1.5 table spoon size every evening , and to hopefully prevent suspected constipation, I eat my cheese with 1 tablespoon yellow grass fed butter.  I had a wonderful and happy flashbacks savoring the cheese.

Results came in fast.  After 3 days I felt the familiar signs of constipation.  This Friday morning upon waking up I took 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil.  Then drank lots of coconut juice and lots of coconut meat.  I felt the reflex of wanting to poop.  Uh oh… the 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil was inadequate.  I suffered in the toilet bowl for some 15 minutes.  Very bad.  I got back up and took another dose of 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and more coconut juice and walked around.  The next round of poop came in and I found relief.

So lesson learned is it takes 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil for me to be relieved of constipation.  And cheese really is constipating.  I transferred the cheeses to the other refrigerator and gave it away to the maids.  I am certainly not giving any cheese to my children.  I can cope with constipation problems  easily.  I’m a big boy.  But the children?  Spare them, please.  When a new food arrives, parents should try it themselves first before giving it to their children.

My 7 year old has tummy ache, reported a worm in poop this morning

by

Last week it was my 7 year old boy’s turn to have tummy ache problems.  He missed 2 days of school,  Thursday and Friday.  At first sign of tummy ache, I gave 1 teaspoon of Barefoot Herbalist dewormer in 1/4 cup of water every morning before breakfast.

His tummy ache symptoms would subside.  But I made the mistake Friday evening when I arrived just after he had a dinner of chicken arozcaldo (chicken and rice porridge), I got to taste a most wonderful avocado, the first good avocado of the season.  I got him interested and he got half an avocado and combined it with honey.  Immediately afterwards his tummy ache worsened again… bad food combination this time.

During the times he had tummy aches I would implement mono eating on my boy and that made him feel better.

One early morning at 3am when he felt hungry, his mom made the mistake of feeding him fish and rice.  Which he vomitted a few hours later.  3am is no time to feed anyone hard to digest things.  It is not the correct time for eating.

Since Friday every early morning my boy would wake me up at 4am to poop.  He comments that the dewormer was strong and it makes him poop.  This Monday morning at 4am he woke me up again to poop.  Before I washed him he said he saw 1 black worm about less than 1 inch long writhing fast in the toilet bowl.  I looked for it but he said the worm sank.

So after washing my boy I thought it was time for some deworming again.  This boy had taken humaworm for 30 days 2 years ago.  Last year he took barefoot herbalist dewormer for 30 days.  And we have barefoot dewormer as stand by for suspicious parasite related symptoms like these lately.  So around 6am I ordered another batch of dewormers from humaworm.com: 1 batch for myself and 1 batch for my boy.  It arrives in 7 days.

I would like to add that in my surfing for opinions on dewormers I found an insightful comment from Dr. Kenneth Sutter as he does not make dewormers, he merely uses them:

Humaworm is great stuff but 30 days is NOT enough. Do Barefoot’s DeWormer for the 90 days between of Humaworms protocol. Flush every two weeks. Stay on Humaworm every 90 days though it’s a little better at getting the parasites outside the digestive tract. In other words do them both.

That quote and idea applies to me. I think I’ll do that. I’m thinking about it. In the meantime I’m formulating my order for a new batch of dewormers plus other items from Barefoot.

Wawa Dam: Mountain treck for fresh air and organic fruits

by

A few days ago I set off on my own adventure to see what was at the end of General Luna street after San Mateo all the way to Montalban, now renamed Rodriguez.  At the end of the road you hit the mountain and go up and end up in Wawa dam.  There is a parking fee of 20 pesos under some nice shady trees in front of the Montalban tourism office.  The small community begins here with people doing their own business, not tourist minded at all.

So I read from trolling the internet that Wawa dam was constructed by the Americans in 1909 and used to supply water to Metro Manila.  But in 1965, maybe from pollution, the government closed wawa dam; is this true?  Can anyone confirm this?

So today, the Wawa dam area is a government reserve.  It is clean mountain-lake provincial life, a stone’s throw away from the city where I live.  If you walk further on the foot path for 5 hours you can reach the Dumagat, a native tribe who has lived in the deep mountains for many generations.  I hear from the residents the Dumagat go down some once or twice a week to trade with the towns people.

What reliable produce can be found in Wawa dam?

They make sacks of charcoal.

I like their organic, mountain papayas which are dense / very heavy for their size and they taste sweet and fantastically hydrating, like the papayas we had in the organic farm in Palawan.  The wawa people pick their papayas ripe.

I like their organic mountain bananas which they call espaniola.  I thought they looked like lagkitan, but they are bigger.  They taste like lagkitan though.

I had the wrong information about getting fish, as I chatted with one of the store owners who said they had tilapia, carp and sometimes eels from their lake.  I went with my children this Saturday morning along with 2 nannies and a styrofoam chest expecting to buy fresh wild lake fish and found none!  I asked the other people of wawa and they said there was no regular schedule for fish catches.

My kids had a great time.  They didn’t get tired going up and down the mountain.  Good thing my wife didn’t come with us because the mountain is not safety approved by any agency.  There are no safety gears, no railings, treacherous cliffs all the way up or down.  Safe enough as whole communities go up and down the mountain with little children… but not safe enough for spoiled urban critters.

If you go around YouTube there are many young people going up and down wawa dam having a glorious time communing with nature.  It is such an easy and cheap excursion to venture into for those of us who do not like the trappings of modern life.  Wawa dam is for those of us who want real nature, without the safety nets.  No police, no lifeguards, no security guards, no restuarants, nothing resembling urban life.
