Indeed, turmeric turns the entire drug-based medical model on its head. Instead of causing far more side effects than therapeutic ones, as is the case for most patented pharmaceutical medications, turmeric possesses hundreds of potential side benefits, having been empirically demonstrated to positively modulate over 160 different physiological pathways in the mammalian body.

Most people eat purely for taste. And they die from it.
I have been on a five year quest to create the perfect food.
This is my idea of what the perfect food should accomplish:
Taste delicious to everyone
Contain no GMOs, toxins, preservatives or other non-nutrients
Satisfy hunger and leave you feeling satisfied for hours
Deliver immediate and lasting physical energy
Create no sugar induced “pump and dump” of your energy level
Deliver 25%+ of ALL your body’s nutritional requirements per meal
Contain ingredients from as wide a variety of raw foods as possible
Be in a readily assimilable format to fully nourish the body
Contain all known cofactors needed to fully utilise all nutrients
Strengthen the body’s immune system so it can defend itself against all pathogens, be it germ, virus, parasite or toxin
Deliver antioxidants to reduce cell damage from free radicals
Increase the production of glutathione, the master antioxidant
Prevent cancer, stroke, heart attack and other degenerative diseases
Improve memory, concentration and clear thinking
Detoxify heavy metals from the body
Detoxify atmospheric radiation from the body
Contain enough fibre to optimise waste removal and colon health
Boost the release of stem cells from the bones
Facilitate attaining and maintaining optimum weight
Be portable and convenient to eat at any time and place
I have not attained my goal. But I am a lot closer to attaining it than most food manufacturers asking for some of your food budget!

Also, purportedly, the single healthiest food on Earth, for your Liver, is fresh dandelion greens… Healthiest before the bud becomes a flower.

A supplement called Acetyl L Carnitine has repeatedly been shown to improve memory as well as enhance cognition and reduce free radical damage to the brain. It may also improve nerve fiber regeneration, muscle coordination and vibration perception in people with neuropathies. 500 mg 2-3 times per day.

Prostate Cancer affects 1 in 6 men. Researchers have found that eating walnuts slows the growth of prostate cancer in mice. These nuts seems to effect the genes related to the control of tumor growth and metabolism. Prostate cancer growth was reduced by 30-40% and lowered IGF. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 and may also help heart disease.
Great tip! Thanks. Pistachios are also good for prostate health.

I have been asked about the blood type diet.
This is from a nutritional researcher whose opinion and conclusions I value above any other I have read:
Lessons from Jon Barron
The Blood Type Diet
In this week’s excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron examines the pros and cons of the Blood Type diet.
Daily Health Tip Image”Right now, the Blood Type diet and its variations are all the rage. They are based on an entirely different approach to determining the optimum diet than I have outlined. The basic idea behind these diets is that blood types evolved from the lifestyles and diets of different groups of humans over the millennia; therefore, you need to eat the diet natural to the group from which you are descended. The cornerstone of the diet is the premise that certain proteins/glycoproteins in food, called lectins, ape the glycoproteins on red blood cells, thus triggering immune reactions from the matching blood type. Is the premise valid?
Probably not so much. Yes, there is no question that different foods definitely have high allergy potential for many people, but the problem appears to be less with the lectins than with the ability of the digestive tract to fully break down the proteins in food. This is evidenced by the fact that the simple addition of supplemental digestive enzymes with meals and proteolytic enzymes between meals can often help reduce food allergies dramatically. In fact, there is little evidence that lectins, other than a handful of exceptions such as ricin (which will affect anyone of any blood type), present a problem for the human body of any blood type.
But that aside, doesn’t the Blood Type diet work for some people? Absolutely! Simple math works in its favor. If you tell an O, an A, or an AB not to eat dairy because they don’t have the right blood type, then you’ve just told the vast majority of people in the world not to eat dairy. Considering all of the problems associated with commercial dairy we’ve already discussed, a lot of people are going to feel significantly better on the diet, regardless of blood type. (Chalk that up in the win column for the diet.)
On the other hand, you’ve also just told a lot of Asians (they have the highest percentage of blood type B in the world) that they’ll thrive on dairy. Probably not such a good thing since about 90 percent of all Asians suffer from lactose intolerance. (And that would need to be chalked up in the loss column.) Bottom line: if the diet works for you, then use it, but understand that your good results are probably based more on casino odds than science.”
