A 2012 study of enormous proportions just concluded that diet is THE number one killer in the world!

 It is the most comprehensive and systematic analysis of causes of death undertaken to date, involving nearly 500 researchers from more than 300 institutions in 50 countries, and starting with almost 100,000 data sources. Diseases of all sorts, from diabetes and heart disease to cancer are all caused by a lack of clean fruit and vegetables in our diets.

One way plants protect us may be their antiplatelet effects. Platelets are what trigger the blood clots that cause heart attacks and most strokes. And beyond their obvious function in blood clotting, platelets are now considered to play a pivotal inflammatory role in the hardening of the arteries in the first place, and in allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancer.

Normally, under healthy conditions, platelets circulate in a quiescent, inactive state. But once they become activated, they can emerge as culprits in inflammation. Platelets transport a vast amount of inflammatory chemicals, and upon activation they release these chemicals, which can recruit the inflammatory cells that form the pus pockets within our arterial walls that can eventually burst and kill us. (from an article by Dr. Michael Greger)

So counter to what many doctors have been saying, that is that diet is a minor consideration in disease prevention, it is what I and many thousands of people have been saying for a lot of years now. "You are what you eat". So stop consuming all the breads, pastas, crackers and other wheat products, reduce your sugar consumption, eat healthy fats (not vegetable oils or transfats), eliminate from your diet all processed foods, and eat lots of organic fruit and vegetables. Wash it down with filtered water...feel and look better...live a longer and healthier life. 

Unfortunately, it is not as simple as that. What the above study did not reveal is the devastating result of eating what appears to be (or what we expect to  be) healthy fruit and vegetables that are raised from genetically modified seed (gene spliced with glyphosate) and then given another dose of the same pesticide before harvesting. Grains are some of the worst culprits (wheat, soy and corn) because they are ingredients in foods that are commonly consumed daily. Make no mistake. Thick skinned fruits such as oranges and lemons are probably not on the list of GMO's, but leafy vegetables and many tubers, such as potatoes, are heavily dosed. Be warned, washing does not remove glyphosate or many other pesticides, because the plant absorbs toxins from the soil through the root system and contaminated water in the soil. Do not always believe what is on the front label of packaged, canned or jarred food. Often what it says on the front label is exposed as false on the list of ingredients or disguised with such names as natural flavors or scientific names we are not familiar with.

The damage caused by these toxins is not obvious, but it shows it's face in ways that we don't normally connect with the food we eat. This is revealed in brain scans...neurological disorders such as anxiety, bipolar disease, Alzheimer's,  depression, etc.  Studies show that changing diets to non GMO and organic foods actually CURES many of these maladies. Genetically modified foods are high in plant lectins. These are naturally occurring plant protective chemicals that are known to cause digestive problems and numerous issues with aching joints and diseases like diabetes.   

Water is clearly one of the most important factors in terms of what you put into your body, simply because without it you will die within a few short days. You may know that two-thirds of your body is water, but did you know that in terms of the number of molecules, your body actually consists of over 99 percent water molecules!

Astounding, isn't it?

For years, Dr. Gerald Pollack had been doing research on muscles and how they contract, but it struck him as odd that the most common ideas about muscle contraction do not involve water, despite muscle tissue consisting of 99 percent water molecules. "So I became interested in water," Dr. Pollack says. "We've been doing research in my laboratory at the University of Washington for some 10 years now on water. The book that I wrote in 2001, it's called Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life, talks about the role of water in cell biology. Water is absolutely central." Yet textbooks by and large completely ignore the presence of water in your organs, muscles and tissues. Dr. Pollack's book addresses this discrepancy and brings to the fore the role of water. "The central message of that book is that if you don't understand how water interacts with the components of the cell, you haven't a clue of how the cell works," he says.

Interestingly enough, if you're like most people, you probably think we've got water all figured out. But according to Dr. Pollack, this is far from true. In fact, "those in the field know that it's absolutely not true. We haven't a clue how water works," he says. So here we are in 2011, and even now leading scientists like Dr. Pollack are just starting to pick at the tip of the iceberg in terms of understanding the foundational basis of water! "In our lab, we've been focusing mainly on water structure near interfaces. Your body, of course, is filled with interfaces. Inside the cell, it's mainly proteins, nucleic acids, and salts. They're all interfacing with water," Dr. Pollack says. "So the central question is: what happens when water interfaces with those constituents? Does it change? Does it remain the same? This is where we've made some important discoveries."

Highlights of a Decade's Worth of Research into Water Dr. Pollack's research has uncovered some interesting surprises. "The chemistry book says, if you have a charged interface, or so-called hydrophilic (water-loving) interface (which most of the constituents in your cell are), the current view is that a few water molecules might actually line up and become ordered. But this is considered a secondary effect, -- not very important for understanding of how cells function. What we found is that instead of two or three molecular layers, the ordering of water can actually amount to a few million molecular layers. In other words, the water at interfaces can order in a macroscopic way. A really huge amount of this kind of water, and its properties are so different that it looks like a distinct phase of water." So, what does this mean, in terms of affecting human biology? If you think of the cell as a matrix of proteins, like a grid made up of proteins and nucleic acids, the spaces in between those grids are filled with water. This means there are a lot of surfaces that interact with water and impact its structure. Your cells consist mainly of this interfacial, or structured/ordered water, making it essential to understand this water in order to understand the workings of the cell. This is not a new idea. It's been known for years, although the information has largely fallen out of view and been forgotten. One of the pioneers in this area is a Chinese-American researcher Gilbert Ling, who wrote several books on the central importance of water in the cell. So, water is actually part of the structure of each cell. In addition to the fact that this water is interfacing and is ordered, it is also charged. And the water just beyond it is oppositely charged. This acts like a battery. Dr. Pollack explains: "In your cells are multiple batteries with plus and minus charges, separated... The question is; how are these batteries charged? The charge comes from incident radiant energy; light, heat, ultraviolet. All of these absorbed energies separate the charge. The energy that's coming in from outside builds this charge separation and order. This potential energy fills your cells. I think this energy is critical to an understanding of how your cells work." In a nutshell, the water in each of your cells achieves its ordered structure from energy obtained from the environment, typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including sunlight and infrared heat.

So What? 

Well...Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to diabetes as the “thirst disease.” And according to the Cluster Biology Lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, “Proper hydration is critical for people with diabetes because water has to be organized around insulin - for every one insulin molecule, you need 440 water molecules.” Did you get that? 440 water molecules per ONE insulin molecule! That’s unbelievable... This is why it is so common for diabetics to be so perpetually thirsty. I think this is crucial information, diabetic or not, for everyone to know. And if you are unfamiliar with what insulin does, insulin is a very important hormone with a number of tasks but it’s most important role in the body is to bring blood sugar levels down. With western diet being what it is today, filled with sugar and starchy refined carbohydrates (which basically translates into sugar), people need to stay hydrated all the more to keep up with their insulin production. Unfortunately people have been led to believe that whole wheat is healthy, when in fact it’s actually one of the deadliest foods around. Its actually one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease and diabetes today. Did you know that 1 slice of whole wheat bread raises blood sugar levels more than 1 tablespoon of white sugar. It even beats out sugar on the glycemic index scale; wheat scores a 75 and sugar a 59! If you’re unfamiliar with this glycemic index thing it's basically how fast a food raises your blood sugar levels, the closer to 100 it scores, the worse it is for you. So next time you’re preparing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for your child, skip the bread and just pour on some sugar, oddly enough that would be the healthier choice. With these constant high levels of blood sugar and the constant bounce from extreme high to low, the body becomes resistant to insulin resulting in the development of metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. This is a serious problem today, about 30% of Americans are pre-diabetic and 9 out of 10 of that 30% don’t even know it. And guess what? I bet you can already guess where I’m going with this... Structured water! Yep, that crazy new H302 water I’ve been recently letting you in on. Recent clinical studies with diabetic patients reveal that the consumption of hexagonal water produced a trend towards lower levels of blood sugar in just 4 weeks.  Since 9 out of 10 of the 30% of pre-diabetic Americans don’t even know about their condition, here is an easy way to check: Take your blood sugar levels first thing in the morning with a glucometer. If your level reads 100 nanograms per milliliter, that level is considered a diagnoses for pre-diabetes. However, studies are beginning to show that arterial damage starts at blood sugar levels of 85. So if you score anywhere from 85 - 100, Dr. Doulliard labels this range as “pre, pre-diabetic” and strongly suggests you consider some dietary changes because you are damaging your arteries and are on a speedy path to developing diabetes.

Actually, as it turns out, dehydration is at the root of a lot of chronic illness. As we age, our thirst mechanism deteriorates along with the rest of our body. We don't feel thirsty, but our body is in drastic need of hydration (clean filtered water...not tap water contaminated with chlorine and fluoride along with all the other nasty substances that come out of the tap). All of our organs, in order to function properly, must be sound at the molecular level and we should be able to reach that conclusion from a simple analysis of cell structure. Our bodies, right down to the cellular level, are mostly water.  Dehydration is a problem for children, as well, because they are given so much soda pop and other sugary drinks. They are developing a fungal disease very early in life because "candida albicans" feeds on sweets.  The resulting overgrowth of yeast soon takes over various parts of the body and weird symptoms appear, depending on where it settles in to feed. Asthma is one of the chronic ailments most common among youth, because parents indulge them with sweets. Dehydration then makes things worse.
