With the AMA controlling medicine and telling physicians what to prescribe and what to do, everyone is forced to comply or go elsewhere. If physicians don’t comply, they get their licenses revoked. The question remains, what tactics should the people employ to live a long life of high quality. Is current allopathic medicine charlatanry that actually shortens the lifespan or impinges the quality of life in a negative fashion? The factors that shorten a lifespan are the following:
Infections
Toxins
Cholesterol
Lifestyle.
The concept of infectious disease is self-explanatory. Bacteria, viruses and parasites are the causal factors. Strep infections of the lungs and staph infections of wounds seemingly are the mainstay of bacterial infections. With appropriate hospitalization, penicillin’s and lots of money, most people survive these maladies. Esoteric bacterial infections with fastidious species, with the advent of antibacterial treatment, are now curable. A hundred years ago plague or Brucella or Salmonella would cause fatal disease but now with appropriate therapy people survive to achieve their genetic potential. Viruses and most enteric infections transmit through fecal contaminated foodstuffs and hepatitis A, B, and dysentery are rarer today with the use of current food treatment and preservation. However, most restaurants and fast food parlors do not wash their vegetables and now people are acquiring chronic parasitic infections not prevented by preservatives. Untreated fruits and vegetables harbor snail eggs, worm eggs, and parasitic cysts that become motile worms once in the intestinal tract. In women this is seen as midriff bulge and in men with chronic parasitic infections, pot bellies. This all begins around age forty and accumulates and progresses with each decade. Preservation saves mankind from bacteria and viruses but at the same time fills the body of man with metal salts.
All metals if ingested accumulate in the body and cause chronic disease. Examples of chronic disease are diabetes, hypertension, renal failure and arteriosclerosis. All processed foods and restaurant faire contain metal salts. Heavy metals like lead, and transition metals like iron when emulsified into processed food prevent bacterial growth. These agents are known as preservatives. How long has salad dressing lasted in your refrigerator without spoiling past the expiration date? Three years or five years is not unusual for processed food to be palatable and edible. Any metal when consumed accumulates in the arteriovenous tree causing arteriosclerosis, hypertension and stroke. Organic toxins from flowers, mushrooms or reptiles are much harder to spot and an acute admission to the hospital necessitates high pressure liquid chromatography to elucidate the cause.
The most insidious factor that curtails a long life is cholesterol. Cholesterol is found in all meats but less so in fish. Milk and eggs have significant amounts of cholesterol but not nearly the amount found in meat. Cholesterol is a yellowish brown buttery, sticky substance that clogs up arteries causing heart attacks and venous embolus. Cholesterol is necessary as a rigidity factor in the cell wall, like rebar in concrete to make the cell wall stiff. The body produces just enough cholesterol to maintain itself. Because of this fact, cholesterol recirculates in the blood from the gut in what is known as the enterohepatic circulation. When a human eats cholesterol rich food like meat, the cholesterol recirculates in the lymph and blood until it is excreted in the stool or deposits in the muscular element of arterial circulation. The main reason to ingest vegetable roughage is to bind the cholesterol, eliminate it and prevent its recirculation. The high protein benefits of meat are overshadowed by the deleterious effects of cholesterol accumulation. We all love out rib eye steaks but the solution to a long life is to eat less or no meat and lots of beans, oat meal and cheese for adequate protein nourishment. Mexicans living on beans and tortillas all develop marasmus so it is necessary to eat meat, hopefully that will be fish. This all depends on geography and religious preferences.
Lifestyle is the final topic of this dissertation. It appears that an active lifestyle is conducive to longevity
Office workers and heavy meat eaters all die of cardiac disease, especially if they smoke or take drugs. The epitome of a successful life is to exercise in the spare time from an occupation and meditations like yoga, Pilates, tai chi or aerobics are mandatory to maintain the euphony of the organism.
Most people want to live a long time. Chelation therapy removes metal from the body but is lengthy and very expensive. Parasite de-worming is one of the most overlooked aspects of modern medicine because most people don’t want to examine the stool of others and a protuberant abdomen should suffice to acknowledge the infestation by enteric parasites. Eating a vegetarian type of alimentation or at least limiting meat intake and resorting to fried chicken will add at least a decade of quality life to the existence. The ticket is to consult physicians proficient in these therapies. Those that want to live forever consume gold thiol-malate or resort to Egyptian life extension practices or undeniably so become vampires. I believe it is the quality of life that paramount’s existence. The rest is in God’s hands so take it for what it is worth. Most churches are open every day so believe and join those that embrace ethos over pathos and the word of the prophets where ever you are.
