Tom's Blog on Life

I was asked this morning if bread and rice were inflammatory. In looking for evidence to provide I referred to a couple of sites I thought you might find interesting.
Inflammation causes pain, cardiovascular disease risk and is responsible for speeding up the aging process. Monica Reinagel’s book “The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan” explains how the foods you eat can make make inflammation worse or reduce inflammation to improve your health risks and help you to feel better and lose weight.
If you are the sort of person who likes to do things by hand, there is a great site where you can check out the inflammation rating and nutrient content of a great many foods. It is http://nutritiondata.self.com
If you have too little time for that, here is a book that will simplify your inflammation-free meal choices.

Some quotes from the video by Dr Peter Glidden.
The treatments doctors administer for chronic disease DO NOT WORK!
Your MD is the number one cause of death in America at present. 780,000 Americans die a year from medical admistered treatments. More than cancer, more than heart disease, more than any other single cause of death.
The medical dostore is not trained in medical science. He is training in a very small sub-section of it – reductionistic, allopathic, pharmaceutical medicine.
Your MD does not believe your body has the ability to fix itself.
If you are drinking fluoridated water you are being dumbed down.

Research shows that an extract of the spice saffron (Crocus sativus) gets to the root of sweet cravings and helps eliminate them. It appears to work by regulating brain pathways in what is now referred to as the Feed-Feedback Cycle.

“It is now confirmed by USWGO News that the DSM-IV-TR Manual labels free thinkers, non conformers, civil disobedient advocates, those that question authority, and people considered hostile toward the government (aka Oath keepers, survivalist, and local militias) as mentally ill with the illness titled “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD.”

So it is official, anyone who can think, create, act independently according to their own good sense and judgement is not a robot who can be told what to do and therefore needs to be drugged to zombie state.
Yeah, that makes sense.
If you are an insane, totalitarian control freak!

But here’s the good oil from the guy who compiled it:

America’s leading psychiatrist confesses to crimes against humanity

Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of them.

In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, “Scientist At Work,” Daniel Goleman called Frances “Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment…”

Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wired’s Greenberg and said the following: “There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit. I mean, you just can’t define it.”
