Egg Yolk Liver Flush Results for 9 yr old and 7 yr old Boys

by

My 2 boys have been handed to me by my wife for clearing their itchy eczematic legs. Putting them on a raw paleo diet. Started their regimen with egg yolk liver flushes. Came up with 1 raw duck egg plus 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed calamansi juice plus 1 tablespoon of Anchor butter (unsalted). Drank the concoction first thing in the morning.

Eventual results were:

– My 7 year old boy was stinky farting
– 7 yr old boy finally did his poop and said his poop stinked, kid this age has liver garbage.
– 9 yr old boy also pooped and smelled the liver bad smell he reports, he’s done liver flushing before.

Getting them adjusted to raw meats again. Searing their barbecues 5 seconds each side. Tomorrow barbecues get seared 4 seconds each side, then down to 3, then 2, then 1, then none.

7 yr old boy is less adjusted to raw meat than my 9 yr old who once did 2 months straight raw paleo diet.

Have to be firm and teach them about raw paleo diet. They need to know this life skill. Told them the goal was to be itch free in their legs. Eczema free in their legs. Their mom has given up on her other “methods”. Raw paleo diet will do it.

Another egg yolk liver flush for them scheduled this morning. This time I will use virgin coconut oil instead of butter. Hopefully there will be less complaints.

In the afternoon kidney cleansing with avocado leaves tea.

** Update **
The 2 boys say their itching on their legs have drastically been reduced.
We are on the right track.
So it seems cooked food pollutes these boys’ livers.

Reminding My Children About the Value of Raw Meat in their Diet

by

Grandma left a small plate of her super special expensive grass fed beef from Bukidnon.  This one pleasantly tasted gamey like deer.  Delicious.  It’s meant to be eaten raw like sashimi.  I remembered to give the 3 kids a bite full each to remind them the value of raw meat.  They were searing barbecued beef condimented with salt, pepper and honey.  That isn’t bad, but it’s not as good as fully raw.

Initially all 3 were giving me a hard time closing their mouths in protest.  I got to my eldest.  He’s the easiest one to feed raw meat as he was on a fully bloody raw meat diet for 2 straight months some time ago to cure his TB.  The next one, my 2nd boy was then grudgingly convinced to eat his raw beef.  Then my youngest, the girl stone walled.  Yeah, she’s practicing her female wiles on me, but remembering to eat raw meat in their diet is a lesson that has to be ingrained in their teachings.

I had to tell her that that expensive beef was grandma’s beef and that she had left that specifically to be eaten raw because it tasted really good.  Then I told them I was royally pissed off that yesterday they attended a birthday party in a pizza restaurant and they ate commercial sickening pizza.  So I had to threaten the kids if they are going to give me a hard time with feeding them the most nutritious food, then I will no longer spend and just give them total junk food until they get sick and surrender.

I told them the story of how their uncle left for college in Los Banos and being away from home he only ate standard junk food like instant noodles, turo turo meat and rice and fast foods… he succumbed to great illness he could not continue his studies and his parents had to move him to Manila due to medical reasons.

I told them of how their mother got appendicitis when she was pregnant with that resistant little girl.  Her appendix was probably stuffed with wheat and other junk food.  Good thing our little girl 4 months in eutero survived that appendectomy surgery.

I told them of how I used to live by myself and only ate at fastfoods, bought bread, cheese, hotdogs and bad cooking oil.  I got sick a couple of times and got hospitalized due to unkown viral illnesses.  Unkown… yeah right… we know now.

I reminded the kids that when they get sick they know that raw paleo diet is the diet to turn to and they need practice, lest they forget.

That got the girl to eat her raw beef piece.  Then it was seared condimented beef barbecue and some souped wild bangus and some organic kamote tops leaves and some banaue rice terraces original heirlom Tinawon rice.  Very good from a paleo diet + super special rice point of view… but not good enough from a raw paleo diet perspective where incurable diseases are cured.

Ah the satisfaction of parenting.

 

RH Bill Publicly Rejected in Live Debate

by

Depopulation bill – absolutely everything to do with degrading the health of women by hoodwinking with the Orwellian title “Reproductive Health” Bill phrase – was very much rejected by the nationwide viewing audience in a much awaited live and public debate. 65% voted to JUNK the RH Bill. Diana Uichanco reports:

Pro-lifers demolish pro-RH arguments in TV debate

MANILA, May 10, 2011—It was a dynamic discussion on sex education, population and poverty, health issues and the beginning of life as representatives of different sectors debated on Sunday night’s “Harapan/ RH Bill: Ipasa o Ibasura” on ABS-CBN.

After the bill’s primary author, Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, kicked off the debate with reasons why the measure ought to be approved, Paranaque Rep. Roilo Golez pointed out serious health factors that made the bill’s reproductive health measures objectionable.

Besides stressing the link between contraceptive use and breast cancer according to the World Health Organization and the US-based National Cancer Institute, Golez expressed concern over the perceived protective power of prophylactics against sexually transmitted diseases.

As an example he cited Thailand, where the high contraceptive prevalence rate has not curbed the incidence of AIDS, now numbered at some 600,000 cases.

“Bakit ganon? Kung totoong tama ang RH eh bakit ubod ng laki ang kanilang HIV cases?” he asked.

The solon also presented charts illustrating the downward trend of the country’s population growth rate. The Philippines does not need a reproductive health law as a means to arrest population growth, he said, because the growth rate of 3 percent in 1960 has decreased to 1.95 percent in 2010.

When life begins

The protection of unborn people as provided by the Philippine Constitution and the issue of when life begins came up several times, with a lawyer and the physicians from both sides tackling the matter.

“The State shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception,” said Alliance for the Family Inc. (ALFI) President Atty. Girlie Noche.

“Sinasabi na po ng Constitution [na] may life—life of the unborn from conception. So I think there’s no question anymore. There’s already life at conception.” The lawyer added that her study of the proceedings of the 1986 Constitutional Commission revealed that the members of the body used the terms “conception” and “fertilization” interchangeably.

“So this is a non-issue. Life begins at conception,” Atty. Noche added.

The medical aspect was presented by bioethics and embryology professor Dr. Josephine Lomitao, reminding everyone that “the best evidence of the beginning of proof of life should be something objective, therefore scientific.”

The OB-Gyne then briefly explained the process of reproduction, ending with “once the fertilized egg or zygote has been formed, it starts to divide. What other proof of life do you want? This division is purposeful, coordinated, and [the zygote] will be unable to implant if it weren’t alive because implantation—which other groups claim to be the beginning of life—is a complex process.”

The advocates of the bill—titled The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2011—have been fighting for revised definitions of terms, specifically the move to make “conception” (thereby “fertilization” too, as per the Constitutional Commission’s definitions) synonymous with “implantation.”

Rise in population = poverty?

The debate became even more animated when talk shifted to population and poverty. “Mahirap ba tayo dahil marami tayo? That is the question,” said former senator and governor Joey Lina. What followed was a zealous exchange of ideas about overpopulation possibly leading to poverty.

After presenting a brief explanation of demographics and standard of living as regards the local scenario, Lina blasted the commonly used reasoning of attributing poverty to an increasing population.

“Tayo ay mahirap hindi dahil sa tao. Tayo ay mahirap dahil ninanakaw ang pera ng bayan. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit tayo mahirap!” he declared.

“P200 billion [ang] nawawala, according to certain studies. Ang [University of the Philippines nag-conduct ng] study, 30-40 % of our budget is lost due to corruption. So kung ‘yung perang ninanakaw sa fertilizer scam, sa mga… NBN deal, diyan sa mga conversion, highways, katakot-takot na road users’ tax, kung yung daang bilyong piso na ninanakaw ng mga nanunungkulan ay nagagamit para mapabuti ang kalagayan ng bayan, napatataas ang antas ng edukasyon, nakapagtatayo ng maraming eskwelahan, nakapagtatayo ng maraming ospital at nakakabigay ng mataas na sweldo sa ating mga doktor at nurses, mawawala ang mga problemang ‘yan.”

School-based sex education

Another explosive topic in the nearly two-hour debate was that of sex education. House Bill 4244 mandates a six-year “Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education” program for all private and public schools.

The bone of contention was whether or not the rights and duties of parents were being undermined by this portion of the measure, which will integrate the said program in several subjects starting with Grade 5 students. Though she believes in the parents’ role as primary educators of their children, former legislator Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel asserted that some parents are not willing and able to tackle certain issues with their family, and this is where the school will come in.

Democratic Socialist Women of the Philippines (DSWP) head Elizabeth Angsioco agreed, pointing out that the government’s program was being put in place merely as a support to parents.

Fr. Melvin Castro, Executive Secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life (ECFL), zeroed in on the RH advocates’ concurrence that mothers and fathers indeed have the primary duty to educate their young ones.

“Bakit hindi ‘yon ang tutukan ng gobyerno? Bakit didiretso ang gobyerno sa intervention sa mga kabataan? Precisely po, sapagka’t kung ang mga magulang ang ideal teachers then let’s [focus on] the ideal. Kaya ‘yun ang ating palakasin.

“‘Yung pinagpipilitang State intervention,” he added. “Itanong ko lamang po sa mga nagpo-propose ng bill na ito: Pinagdududahan po ba natin ang kakayahan ng mga magulang?”

Afterwards, the legal basis for shooting down the proposed bill was again brought up, as Noche underscored that the Constitution states clearly that “the parents have the primary right and duty to develop the moral character of their children. Ang gobyerno po ay supporting role lamang. Hindi gobyerno ang may karapatan na humubog sa moralidad ng mga bata,” the lawyer stressed.

However, the RH bill makes sexuality education mandatory—and in both private and public schools, Noche pointed out. In addition, it is the government—not the parents—who formulate and finalize the program’s curriculum. “Gobyerno. Hindi po dito kasama ang mga magulang…”

“At ang hindi ko maintindihan dito, bakit kinakailangang sampung taon pa lamang ay mag-aral na ng sexuality education. From grade 5 to 4th year, so anim na taon. Ano po ito? Kailangan po ba ng PhD para sa sex education?,” Noche asked.

Dubious values formation

Among the other protests to the mandated sex education portion of the bill is the absence of values formation that put the lessons in the context of deeply held Filipino family values.

Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin, one of the bill’s co-authors, was quick to point out that among the topics in the sex education program was “values formation.” However, one of the long-time technical experts involved in monitoring the government’s population education/sex education programs asserted otherwise.

Bioethics professor Dr. Angelita Aguirre related that very few are aware that this method-based, values-free kind of sex education has been making its way into school curricula for nearly 40 years, since the late President Marcos’ Presidential Decree 79 resulted in the formulation of the “pop ed/sex ed modules” that have been carried out since 1972.

As for specifics when it comes to the proposed bill’s program, “Ang tinuturo po ay hindi values education. Nakita po namin ang modules, binasa po namin ito. Wala pong sinasabi doon na mag-asawa ka muna bago ka mag-relasyon. Kung hindi ka na makapagpigil, basta hindi ka magbuntis at hindi ka magkasakit, puwede,” Aguirre described.

The doctor explained that it’s the content that she and other pro-life groups object to. If the goal is really to help children learn about the reproductive system, it should be taught in Biology, in a scientific context, she said. The emotional, social and spiritual dimensions, she added, should be made part of Character Education. This was her group’s recommendation to the Department of Education at a previous time.

“Bakit kailangan mong ituro ng anim na taon? At sa lahat ng subjects—math science literature and everything. And you know, this was patterned after the Sex Information and Education Council in the US, [translated to Tagalog] lang. We saw it. Kung ano yung nasa Amerika, [ginawang Tagalog] lang ‘yon,” Aguirre pointed out.

Toward the end of the debate, Lina summed up what he had picked up so far, based on the arguments brought out by those in favor of a reproductive health law as a solution to poverty:

“The RH proponents, ang gusto nila, ang solusyon sa kahirapan is to reduce the population growth rate. All your statements are bolstering the argument that we are poor because we are many. That is the premise. That’s why we are saying, we are poor not because we are many; we are poor because of the mismanagement of our economy. We are poor because of graft and corruption. If there is proper management of resources just like what’s being done in other countries, we will not suffer the fate that we are suffering now. The solution you are offering is not the solution.”

Foreign concept
Fr. Castro summed up his position on the RH bill by saying why the country has no need for such a legislative measure.

“Palagi nating reference ang ibang bansa sa reproductive health. Iyan ay pag-amin din na isang banyagang konsepto ang RH. Bakit nating pinaggigiitan na yakapin ‘yan ng Sambayanang Pilipino [samantalang] nakakubli nga diyan ang.access to ‘safe’ and legal abortion. Bakit natin pinagpipilitan ang isang banyagang konsepto sa isang bansa na tulad natin na likas na maka-pamilya at likas na maka-buhay. We reject the RH bill at huwag nang ipasa ‘yang batas na ‘yan dahil hindi kailangan ng Sambayanan.”

The other speakers for the anti-RH side were George Balagtas of the Pro-Life Coalition of the Philippines, and Dr. Johnrob Bantang, spokesperson of a position paper against the RH bill by individual UP faculty, students and alumni.

Other members of the pro-RH panel were former Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral, Bishop Rodrigo Tano, Chairman of Interfaith Partnership for the Promotion of Responsible Parenthood, UP Center for Women’s Studies Director Dr. Sylvia Estrada Claudio, and tour guide and RH supporter Carlos Celdran.

The “Junk the RH bill” side garnered more votes, based on the results of the online and text survey held during the debate. As for 12:40am of May 9, the result was—Ipasa: 34.62% ; Ibasura—65.38%. (Diana Uichanco)

I’m a fully qualified healer (see my website credentials and the people I have helped) and this RH Bill has nothing to do with addressing women’s health. That is the ruse they play “women”… in fact, all the contraceptive promotion they promote is DETRIMENTAL to women’s health.

Adolescent Immunization Vaccination Con Game Contest: Win Ipods and Laptops

by

School in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools resorts to conning children into being “immunized” / vaccinated by offering them a chance to win I-Pods and Laptops. Lame. People and children are waking up to question the harm of vaccinations so they have to resort to con games to lure children to be vaccinated.

There are 3 vaccines that are especially recommended for adolescents.
• Meningococcal Vaccine is recommended at 11-12 years of age and again at 16-18 (the second dose is a new recommendation). If not received at age 11-12, 13-18 year olds should receive a dose at the first opportunity.
• Tdap (tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis) Vaccine is required for all students who will be entering the 6th grade unless they have had a Td (tetanus/diphtheria) vaccine in the last 5 years. Tdap is recommended for all other adolescents.
• HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) Vaccine (3 doses) is recommended for any student 9 years of age or older who has never been vaccinated.

NOW…about the contest…

To be eligible for the contest, a student will need to receive at least one vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11. The student will need to take proof of the meningococcal vaccine received to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on 6-1-11. The school nurse will then enter the student in the contest. The student will have 2 entries for having received the meningococcal vaccine.

Additionally, if the student receives a Tdap and/or a HPV vaccine between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11, he/she would receive one entry for each when the record is provided to the school nurse. A student receiving all 3 vaccines would be entered 4 times.

Again, to enter, the student will need to provide the school nurse with a record of vaccines received between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11and one of those vaccines must be meningococcal vaccine. Records of vaccines received are due to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on June 1, 2011. Later that day a school system administrator will select 3 winners:
• A fifth grade winner of an ipod
• A middle school winner of an ipod
• A high school winner of a laptop
Parent(s) of each winning student will be notified.

All this is true. It’s in the blog post of the school superintendent. Click here.

My healer opinion is I do not vaccinate my children. Period.

Filipino Health: Check The Purity of Your Rice

by

I just came from a vacation in Nueva Ecija and met a wholesale palay trader. He was encouraging me to get into the rice trading business so I got an entire list of rice species palay and corresponding prices. Then it struck me, as a health conscious father and healer, that the retail rice in Manila was corrupt, chemicalized, blended, unpure. A big issue was the purity of your rice… and we city slickers are just too ignorant to have ever questioned the Filipino staple diet you eat 3x a day… rice is UN-pure, UN-clean and most probably UN-healthy.

The ignorant city slicker that I am, I was looking for labels in the rice fields like dinorado, laon, ifugao, but I found none. They had funny numbers and names instead:

160 – long grain
134 – long grain
214 – long grain
Angelica long grain
82 – long grain
222 – long grain
c10 – short grain
super rice – short grain
super tila – short grain

And many more.

The process is that farmers store these palay in sacks in their homes. When they need money, they sell the palay. The palay buyers buy the palay and sell them to the wholesale buyers who send it to the rice mills with machines to turn the palay into rice… bigas. And this is where they BLEND… combine, different rice sources to come up with some rice name they sell retail like LAON, in the retail stores in Manila.

A big secret my rice trader friend told me was that the packers SPRAY the rice with some chemical fragrance so that you buying and smelling the rice are FOOLED into thinking… yeah this is good… NOT… it’s fake!

Another trick the rice packers do is to increase their profit margins by blending in inferior rice such as NFA rice. NFA rice in this context is given a bad name being thought of as cheap and inferior, mixed with more expensive rice and the packers sell the rice at higher margins by reducing their cost.

So this is the thing dear fellow urban dwellers. You and I have been had. Every time you go to a rice retailer or even buy those half sacks of whatever brand name they use… it’s just a brand name… a blend of different rice grains plus added artificial odors. Your urban retail rice is NOT PURE.

My new rice wholesaler friend gave me 4 kilos of white long grain rice with binhi designation 160. I had it cooked for my children’s lunch. I had forgotten about it as I visited them at lunch. These 3 children 9, 7 and 6 were all raving about how DELICIOUS the new rice was. “It’s sooooo goooodddd… the rice is delicious by itself without any ulam (meat) or sauce.” I was totally surprised as these comments were UNSOLICITED. I never asked for them. The kids just chimed in and were just plain HAPPY!

Rice is a staple food and has been for many hundreds of years. But it has been getting a bad reputation in paleo diet circles, but rice is the least harmful of all the grains. But now this, this new realization, that it’s not that rice is bad, rice is good… if it is PURE. Rice is good if there were no chemicals in it, if it was newly shelled / milled / husk removed. The very definition of organic.

Something like the Tinawon traditional white rice variety of the Banaue and surrounding Ifugao rice terraces, is always organic, pesticide free, organic water, organic soil… but expensive, harvests only once per year and shoots come only at 5 per stalk, manually planted and harvested… all leading to… expensive… 150 per kilo! The Ifugao usually keep Tinawon for themselves. It’s highly nutritious and heavy and filling. You will feel it when you eat it.

Banaue Rice Terraces Tinawon Palay being dried

Banaue Rice Terraces Tinawon Palay being dried

I am in the process of purifying our rice supplies. Last month I got lots of traditional Banaue rice, red rice, just yesterday I brought home 10 kilos of Tinawon. But this expensive Banaue rice is unsustainable. I will have to make arrangements with my contacts in Nueva Ecija and Quezon for cheaper but PURE rice.

If you want the best of health for your family, you need to go out now and investigate how you can get PURE RICE. This is your Filipino diet staple… your health depends on it. Now you know why the Ifugao do not usually sell their traditional rice. Now I know.

Paleo Diet Recipe for Beef Barbecue Makes it Fun for Kids

by

Paleo Diet pushing on my children. I can pleasantly report that I have great success with my children desiring beef barbecues. I want children to eat seared / rare beef but it has been a difficult hard sell. But if I put the same beef on a stick, they love it. The following is the beef barbecue recipe I use:

  • Have butcher slice beef very thinly. In my case I but sirloin because it’s the most tender cut.
  • Put sea salt and freshly ground pepper as you like. Optional add honey.
  • Use a flat frying pan. Use beef lard on the pan. We have stopped using charcoal directly because the charcoal fumes stick to the meat.
  • Sear some 10 to 15 seconds according to the child’s preference.
  • I let my children do the searing themselves for fun.

Bike Safety Gear and How Not To Get Hit By Cars

by

Our 3 kids have learned how to bike. Along with their cousins and 1 aunt they have formed the “Wheels Club”. They bike around the village. I’m not too happy with their safety. I need to get a bike of my own to accompany them. Teach them hands on how it is done. A few days ago my little girl got into an accident and her front tooth (temporary) bled and had to be pulled out. And she has a big bump on her forehead. Yesterday my first born son got into an accident and had bleeding on his left knee… easily taken cared of by dried ground cayenne.

We need to buy bike safety gear. Helmets, elbow pads, knee pads and gloves. Although my sister in law thinks pants are enough because children tend not to want to go through the bother of wearing bike safety gear. Or maybe I just have to set the example. I do need to buy a bike for myself first.

Then I came across a very helpful site http://bicyclesafe.com/ and it has very useful practical tips on “How Not to get hit by cars.”

I will be discussing this with my kids this morning.
