My 5 year old boy was victimized by small dirty lake shrimp in coconut milk

by

Grandma has fond memories of small Laguna lake shrimp.  You stew this in coconut milk and the whole shrimp with shell and all is edible.  A vendor frequented our village gate selling this cooked meal and lately grandma was buying from the vendor.  Saturday evening we had that cooked little shrimp and unfortunately for my 2nd son, he liked it.  And to help him eat the shrimp without pricking his mouth, his nannie removed thepointy heads.  So he was able to get his fill.

In the early evening my boy was telling me he had a small tummy ache.  In the late evening my boy woke up and was crying his heart out.  Found out his tummy was absolutely painful.  Plus he was itching all over.  He had very big welts on his forehead you could hardly see if you expected small welts.

I asked what other things the boy ate.  All clues pointed to the lagun shrimp.  While my wife and I were having dinner she pointed out that if those shrimp came from Laguna lake then they are polluted with very dangerous mercury levels.  She called it right.  Our son ate a lot of it.  I ate a lot of it myself, but maybe because I’m bigger and can detox better lately I didn’t get a tummy ache or itching.  So my son is in a lot of trouble and it is in the middle of the night… this is what we did:

For the tummy pain, I got 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and mixed it with 2 cups of water.   This is for tummy pain relief.

Then I got 2 tablespoons of Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea and had my boy take this so that a few hours later he can poop his troubles away.  This is a herbal colon cleanse.

Then I knocked on the nannie’s door and with her help got to steam bath our son for 15 minutes.  The purpose is to detoxify his skin.  The fact that he is itching terribly is he needs to detoxify the poisons out his skin.  His body chose his skin as the fastest exit of toxins.  So we help his skin by giving him a steam bath, make sure he perspires, then give him a quick shower.

That gave him relief.  After his bath, he was asleep in 5 minutes.

I did my fish port shopping at 3am and was back at 6:30am to find my 5 year old boy playing wonderfuly and with a healthy appetite at breakfast after having pooped his troubles away.

In the evening to be sure I gave him a glass of avocado leaves tea for kidney cleansing.

I told this story to all the members of our household so that we should never again repeat the same incident.  We are no longer buying from that lady who sells the little shrimp.  It’s toxic.  Whether it was shrimp, the coconut milk she cooked, or if she put MSG in it.  No thank you.  This is why we prepare our own food.

My 4 yr old daughter feels better after 1 day of the Paleo Diet

by

My little girl is feeling better after 1 day on the paleolithic diet.  This is a diet before agriculture. Raw fruits and fatty meats cooked or raw.  Our idea of vegetable is a non sweet fruit like cucumber… which is technically a fruit because it is willingly offered by the plant to be consumed, so it is safe to eat raw.

Paleo Mum of CavemanForum.com sums it up nicely:

The “Seven Deadly Sins”
• Grains (eg wheat/rice/oats etc)
• Dairy (eg milk/yogurt/butter/cheese etc)
• Refined foods (eg salt/sugars etc )
• Nightshades (eg peppers/tomato/eggplant)
• Tubers (eg potato/arrowroot etc)
• Legumes (eg soy/beans/peas etc)
• Modernly palatable (eg cashews/olives et

Of course I make my own exceptions.  For butter, I sometimes use unsalted anchor butter from grass fed cows of New Zealand.

So my daughter’s breakfast yesterday was coconut juice, guava, avocado.

At 9-10 am she had her soft boiled fertilized eggs.

At 12nn lunch with me she had raw fatty beef freshly killed same day and some heated on charcoal same kind of beef… where eventually she noticed that the raw beef tasted better because it was freshly killed and never refrigerated.  Plus we ran out of coconuts and watermelons so she had to drink with calamansi and water, without any sweetener, she’s too young for honey… we have a 7 year old rule for honey, at 7 years old children acquire the ability to digest honey.

All 3 children tasted a couple of raw clams / halaan from Bolinao, Pangasinan.

Snacks, there were guavas and star apples from Montalban.

I gave her 1 teaspoon of Barefoot’s dewormer in 1/4 cup of water.  Mommy still gives her mercurious vivus homeopathic drops.

Dinner was souped clams.  Which my wife didn’t like, she is not a shellfish fan.  She thought it smelled like pee.  I and the kids did not like the texture of cooked clams either, it became small and rubbery tougher.  Luckily I had a bunch of live raw clams for myself and plopped them in my soup and gave some to my daughter, which was more satisfying.

Clams aren’t going to make my daughter full, not enough fat.  So all 3 kids requested for beef in a little soy sauce.  I had to intercept the cooking of the beef as this was being done by a maid who did not eat beef herself.  Don’t overcook it.  These overzealous cooked food eaters will not stop until the whole meat is cauterized to the core.  They believe in earnest that any trace of being a little raw inside the meat is bad… no wonder people are sick.

The beef finale made my daughter finally full.  Fat will make you feel full.

So it was a rice less day for my daughter.  And she didn’t mind.  She felt full.  Her cold was getting better.  The cold hasn’t vanished yet, but she got a good night’s sleep.

Today we are doing another Paleo diet day.  Plus I will ask her nannie to give her a steam bath.  And we are having beef broth soup for lunch and dinner and I will add some hot cayenne to make her mucus flow out.  It will be simmering all day with the charcoal stove.

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.

Television is all bad… bad for adults, bad for teenagers, bad for children

by

I do not own a television.  We gave away our tiny television 7 years ago.  I own a couple of computers personally and in my company office for my employees… but none of them have television transmission receivers, no cable subscriptions.  You should try zero television for at least 1 year and see how much personal growth can happen to you.  For starters, television is so darn awful and conclusively harmful for babies.  They need personal, human stimulation and interaction.  Would you want your children to grow up st—-?

In my son’s school, Manila Waldorf, everyone knows how bad television is for children.  Anthroposophic medicine knows, all the natural and holistic healers know, anyone not aligned with profiteering from television knows how awful television is.

For starters, the scenes on TV change every few seconds… children’s mental wirings are not yet complete so they grow up damaged.  The conversations on scripted and edited television are unnatural and non-interactive, the children grow up damaged.  And children grow up to be commanded by the television marketing advertising machine… they become zombies, slaves to advertising… you see it everyday… pathetic.  Mental faculties?  Thinking capacities?  Situation analysis?  Reasoning?  Confined in the idiot box, the boob tube… laughable… but profitable!  Ummm yeah, I want to get my shot at marketing to zombies too and getting some of that cash too…

You think television only stunts children?  Television stops adults from growing up too!  In my case, I am glad that in 2005 when I got sick of eczema I was no longer a tv watcher, I was able to think a way out of the mental confines of the western medical / drug establishment.  I don’t use shampoo, I don’t use soap when I bathe, I don’t use commercial deodorants… you wouldn’t know unless I told you. I no longer yearn for any mass marketing ploy, toy, gadget, fast food… because I don’t watch any advertising.  This non watching of television has made it pretty easy for me to try out and stick to diets that I know are awesomly beneficial.  As some of you know, I promote a Raw Paleolithic Diet.  I’m the network administrator of http://www.rawpaleoforum.com , come and join us there and experience a whole new world of health.

The UK Daily Telegraph has gotten wind of just how bad television is… you won’t see this on TV, so you had better surf on over to http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/4074606/Two-year-olds-to-be-screened-for-speech-problems.html

Not watching television will free you from many mental shackles… TV is a selling box to benefit the advertisers and will only say positive things about the advertisers.  My in laws have a television set with no antena and no cable subscription, it is merely hooked up to a DVD / USB player and they watch movies or documentaries they choose to watch.

Not watching television is one of the first freedoms you should experience.  Freedom from the matrix of conformity, freedom of time… now you have so much more time with your family, your hobbies, expanding your mind, in more engaging activities.  Freedom to seek and expand knowledge.  There is no hope of expanding knowledge with TV as the purpose of TV is to focus your attention to be commanded to buy, buy, buy.

My children prefer raw beef liver versus half cooked liver

by

Yesterday I had our cook prepare half cooked beef liver steaks for my children as part of my push for the tooth decay cure for my 7 year old boy.  I had the cook set aside a hand sized slice for myself but it was too late, she had already marinated it in some raw calamansi juice and fermented soy sauce. I said that was acceptable and had that for my lunch.

I handed out the half-cooked beef liver to my 7 year old boy.  He said he didn’t like the taste.  Uh oh, that bitter cooked liver taste.  I remember that when I was young.  He rejected the half-cooked liver.  So I asked him to try my raw liver.  My boy liked the raw liver.  He said that raw liver tasted much better and the cooked liver tasted bad.  Same opinion with my 5 year old and my 4 year old… or they just copy whatever their eldest sibling says.  Whatever the reason, at least they get to eat raw liver… and in front of my wife and the grand parents at that.  It’s part of the cure for tooth decay I said, that’s what Rami Nagel, Weston Price and the raw paleo diet community has recommended.  Besides, I’ve been eating raw liver myself so I have the authority and experience to recommend it to my children. And I chose and bought that fresh raw liver at the wet market, personally.
