The following are excerpts from one of the most brilliant books I've ever read. It was written in by an M.D. in 1926 and the principles in this book that defy conventional medical wisdom still hold true today, 87 years later. Every human should read this free e-book.

Why I don’t take whey protein
So a couple weeks ago I posted a video comparing the top three plant-based protein powders, and that video spawned a couple questions that I got repeatedly on youtube, facebook, etc. Those questions were: -Why do you take a protein powder supplement? -Should I take a protein powder supplement? -What are your thoughts on whey protein? Here are my answers:

Exercise is a critical component to getting healthy and staying healthy. Everyone knows this. Moving your body gets your all juices flowing. Mostly importantly it increases blood and lymphatic circulation, both of which are imperative in the healing process. I exercised a lot in the first few years of my cancer diagnosis. Especially short runs and rebounding. But I didn't do much weight training... And I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I had a local gym membership that I've barely used in the last 10 years. CrossFit got me excited about working out again.

Perhaps you've heard the dietary health advice "Eat less red meat and more fish". In a perfect world this is good advice, but in the real world there is a very important factor that is often ignored. You should take the same approach to the food you eat as you do to the advice you're given...Consider the source. Farm-raised fish is promoted like it's a good thing. But when you take a closer look, farm-raised fish makes about as much sense as ocean-caught beef.

Processed foods have very high levels of salt, and a diet high in salt actually leads to salt dependence by your body. This is why you crave salty foods; just like a smoker craves the nicotine in a cigarette.
Continue ReadingIs Corn Healthy?
Although most folks think of corn as a vegetable, it's actually a high starch grain. And you may be surprised to know that it has very little health benefit compared to other produce, which is why we don't really eat much of it anymore in our house. King Corn is a independent documentary film about the corn industry in America. Here's are some notes from the film mixed in with my research and comments:

Since my last post was on alkalizing, and thanks to a facebook thread with Deanna and Kathy, I figured I'd continue with that theme and write about one of my favorite products on planet earth, which was also a staple in my anti-cancer diet: Apple Cider Vinegar.

We all know the arguments that being vegetarian is better for your health, the environment, and animals - - but in a carnivorous culture it can be hard to make the change. Graham Hill has a powerful pragmatic suggestion. Be a weekday vegetarian. This 4 minute video is excellent and neatly summarizes my post-cancer diet. Watch it!

Sleep With Me: How Much Do You Really Need?
We've all heard that most people need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need much more, like 9-10. Not getting enough sleep night after night leads to a "sleep deficit" that keeps growing. And with that sleep deficit comes a gradual degradation of your health. A major key to health is figuring out how much sleep you need, then getting it.

The Fast Lane to Health: How to Detox
If you're eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you're putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical and mineral compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.
