goji berries chinaAnswering the Critics

Exerts from communications from Chet.

Chuck, if you're eating any animal products at all, you're not following the Genesis 1:29, the Hallelujah Diet, or the Sheltonian Natural Hygiene diet.

I think a good, clean, predominantly plant-based diet is great, but human beings also have to have some foods from the animal kingdom for long-term health.

I take it your version of the Hallelujah/Hygiene diet includes some animal foods like organic eggs? If that's the case, good.... you're teaching truth.

Although I know a lot of people who claim to be strictly following the Hallelujah Diet or Sheltonian Natural Hygiene diet, I also know that if they are pressed to tell the whole truth, they all admit to having "occasional" animal foods, which certainly makes sense since human beings are designed to eat clean foods from both plant and animal kingdoms. That's why there's never been a single culture on earth that was strictly vegan.

I've been researching this question since 1993, and in all those years I've never found any evidence of a 100% vegan society or culture in the whole history of human kind. That's a simple matter of historical and sociological fact that can be verified.

Dr. Campbell has never documented a totally vegan society or even, near as I can tell, a 100% vegan group within the Chinese society, though he did study a number of groups who were so poor they had minimal animal foods for periods of time.

Regarding Dr. Campbell's overall study, I'd suggest that you do more reading. He has not produced a study that is respected and cited by serious professionals in the nutritional field. My wife, a very serious researcher, has questioned Dr. Campbell's research assistant about the proteins mentioned in his study, and the assistant was not helpful, at all. This caused us grave concerns as to the truth of what he was presenting and concluding.

Chuck, to deny that human beings are opportunistic omnivores who require foods from both plant and animal kingdoms is to deny reality. As far as I'm concerned, you can't be a legitimate truth seeker if your mind is closed to evidence. And if you're holding yourself up as an authority, then you owe it to the people who take your word as truth to tell them the whole truth.

My answer;

Dear Brother Chet

You seem to see only what you want to see and overlook anything that goes against what you chose to believe. There is no way that you can verify that there has never been a society that was totally vegan. Sorry.

Dr Campbell did document in his book that there were areas of China where no animal products were consumed. Also that there were areas where only very small amounts were used more as flavoring. As well as areas that eat a western style diet.

I have heard him speak and he confirmed this fact.

Of course his study is not respected by mainstream, so called scientists. They would have to admit that they were wrong. That would undermine their entire world view and every thing they teach. They would have to accept that they are the cause of countless pain, suffering and death. Human nature keeps them from doing this, just like it clouds your thinking.

Yes you are wasting your time if you are trying to convince me that everything I have learned about human physiology is wrong. Pigs are the only true omnivores. They produce many more enzymes for digestion of a wide variety of foods.

We humans don't product Uri-case. This enzyme is necessary to digest the Uric acid in animal products. Without it we cannot deal with the high levels of Uric acid in these foods. Uric acid wrecks havoc on our bodies. We were designed for a 5% protein diet. Only a plant based diet gives us a 5% protein level.

While it has been demonstrated that few problems occur if we consume less that 4 oz of animal products per day, many people, me included have become allergic to animal protein and react quickly if we get very much in our diet. Even 4 oz/day several days in a row will cause arthritis type pain and other health challenges.

You say that "human beings are opportunistic omnivores" that is true as far as it goes. However to say that just because people eat meat to survive when there is little else to eat, does not therefore mean that their bodies require meat to survive.

Natural Hygiene teaches that we were designed for a 100% raw plant food diet. However it also teaches that if you are not able to resist animal products that you should stay under 4oz. per day and combine them properly to minimize their negative effects. That means that animal products should be eaten with a raw salad with no starchy foods. Is that the way you eat your meat?

To say that the entire system is a fraud or that the people who teach it are teaching heresy because they teach one thing and do another is wrong.

I am the only one in my family who eats the way I choose to eat. My wife now eats more fruit and vegetables than she once did, but will not give up her small amount of toxic fare. I do not judge her for it. I love her and try to set a good example. It is hard when so much toxic things are in front of me all the time.

My wife makes potato salad a few times a year with eggs in it. So Yes I eat the potato salad. When I go to a restaurant and have a salad I often have potato salad if it is available. I like potato salad but my body does not like it. If I have that much animal products in a week I only have minor evidence of the fact, that I deviated from the ideal. The fact that I had only minor evidence of an impact on my health does not make it OK.

If I have a little cheese on my salad the next day, and perhaps a veggie pizza the next and a little something else the next I soon have severe arthritis pain in the last place I was injured.

Personally I praise the Lord that my body chooses to send the toxins to my joints. Many people never know until it is too late that they have done much harm. I quickly feel it with sharp pain in my neck or my knees or some other joint.

No Chet, you will have no luck convincing me that I need the pain of arthritis. It just hurts too much.

Chet do you eat your meat raw? If not you cannot digest it. Cooking destroys the food enzymes that could help you digest flesh foods. We don't have strong enough acid or any enzymes to digest meat. If you cook it all you have is deranged protein that is toxic to the body. Eggs are not any different.

True omnivores produce enzymes to aid in the digestion of the raw animal products they eat. If you give them or carnivorous animals a steady diet of cooked animal products, they soon get the same diseases we humans do. Cooking deranges the proteins and makes a toxic stew that overwhelms the bodies ability to eliminate those toxins. The result is that it has to either store them or increase, beyond normal, its efforts to eliminate the extra toxins. To deny this can only lead to disaster.

Do you get your milk products from sources that provide you raw milk products. Pasteurized milk has no value to any human over the age of 3 years. We are supposed to be weaned by then. We stop producing the enzymes we need to digest milk by then. If it is pasteurized the food enzymes in the milk cannot aid your digestion, so all you have is a high protein product that you have no use for, with a lot of empty calories loaded with toxic inorganic minerals, and added toxic chemicals.

If you judge the system as false because some of its leaders occasionally slip and eat something that they know they should not eat, and then assume that they are teaching falsehood because they don't practice what they preach is the height of folly.

I will pray for you Chet.

I perceive that you are an angry man, that you feel that you have been wronged. I feel that you are lashing out in the only way you can, by accusing those who you are working so hard to put down, of teaching falsehood. I pray that one day you will see that you are doing harm to yourself and to those who listen to you.

Natural Hygiene stands on well established fact, Human physiology, and natural Law. The evidence is overwhelming. To deny this does not make you right.

By the way, Dr Donaldson confirmed that he based his statements that the diet was lacking in sufficient nutrients on the published RDA's

It has been known for many years that the RDA's are at least double what we really need. In their own literature the government states that they took what they guessed we needed and doubled it to give a margin of safety. When that is taken into account the vegan, Genesis 1:29 diet, has more than enough of every nutrient.

I Love you in Christ. May God Bless you Chet.

Your servant,

Chuck

Everyone Loves a Cookie Gift Basket

Can you think of anyone who does not like cookies? Well, I can�t so I think that a cookie gift basket is an ideal present for nearly everyone. Cookies are a nice treat for a friend or family member who just needs a little cheer or is recovering from an injury. We can remember our childhood when we receive cookies as gifts. Even the scent of cookies can bring a smile to a person�s face. This is probably the reason why cookie gift baskets are growing in popularity.

Many of my friends and relatives are avid bakers so they have the patience, skill and talent to create a cookie gift basket on their own. I simply scratch my head in wonder when I see them create amazing cookie treats from scratch. They are so talented that they have no trouble arranging even the most delicate cookies in a display that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palette.

Unfortunately, I am not as talented as those people. I am not capable of creating a cookie gift basket on my own because I do not have the patience that is required to bake from scratch. Breaking the cookie dough off of the square at the perforated seams is my idea of baking. I can even find pre-made cookie dough that comes in the very familiar logo too vexing for me.

The dough always seem to end up being either too tough to cut or too soft and the dough winds up in a tangled mess when I bake cookies. I am also not able to handle the whole heating and waiting part. I just do not have the math skills and the patience which are required to bake well.

I doubt that I can create an appealing cookie gift basket if I do finally create edible cookies. You see, even more patience is required in an attempt to arrange the cookies in an attractive fashion. Good cookies should be soft and the very thought of breaking an edible cookie that I made from scratch is unbearable.

I turn to the professionals when it comes to creating a cookie gift basket from the heart. I found that I can actually save a lot of time and money by simply ordering a cookie gift basket from someone who has the talent and the patience that I do not have.

Is What's On The Outside Of Your Packaging What's Inside?

The Prevention Institute, a nonprofit health advocacy group out of California, studied 37 heavily marketed foods with pictures of fruit on the packaging. Fifty-one percent of the products contained absolutely no fruit, a few had minimal amounts! Yikes, you have to be vigilant on all of these fruit claims. Just take a stroll down the fruit juice isle and try to figure out which product is real 100% juice.

We all have had that experience of buying something based up its package or label and then find out what is inside is not what we expected. I know it�s wishful thinking that we can believe all those fantastic marketing claims (a lot of people do as evidenced by the product�s popularity). Think get thin quickly, eliminate wrinkles in 10 days and, the new favorites, protect your heart or lower your cholesterol. The last example is a tribute to the fact that marketers are finally talking advantage of marketing to an aging population.

Consider the recent flurry of activity regarding misleading claims on trans-fats. Companies are taking this seriously and changing their claims. I have learned this: <> ICK, no wonder they are making changes.

People are concerned with what we perceive to be "healthy" as listed on the package�s ingredients statements and then find out that it is misleading or false. Some claims (even though they are within the context of the law) can lead consumers astray by giving foods an undeserved "aura of health."

Here is the definition for false advertising which includes packaged goods: False Advertising -"Any advertising or promotion that misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or geographic origin of goods, services or commercial activities" (Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.A. � 1125(a)). So think about that when you are developing your product packaging. Can your claims be substantiated or are you "stretching" the truth, as in the case of fruit pictured on the outside but not actually inside?

I found lots of great information on how to read and UNDERSTAND a packaging label. WOW, it is confusing even to a seasoned professional. It is almost as if they are deliberately (ha, ha) confusing the consumer into make a purchasing decision. I did a little investigation before writing this article and was shocked by the number of product manufacturers that have been sued for false advertising claims. This is a huge expense to defend the claims or pay to settle one that we consumers pay for in the product price.

From cold sore treatments to orange juice, they all have been sued for making unsubstantiated claims on their product packaging. Things as simple as this lawsuit against cereal packaging claims was aimed at food companies including Kraft Foods, General Mills and Kellogg alleging that "low sugar" breakfast cereals are leading the customer astray.

The suit claims that these cereals are misleading because they are not any healthier than cereals with regular levels of sugar. The food industry, in general, is coming under increasing pressure from food lobby groups and parents, to �clean up its act� and offer healthier alternatives to help combat the obesity epidemic facing America. Sugary cereals are frequently cited by these groups as guilty culprits, encouraging children to eat empty calories instead of nutritional whole foods.

No product packaging is immune. Consider these "hot" buttons currently being scrutinized if you manufacture products that make claims on any of the following attributes:

� Weight loss claims to reduce or lose weight in a specified manner or period of time;

� Healthy choice claims which imply or state benefits to a consumer from consuming;

� Organic or natural food claims that indicate the product is uncontaminated or pure from chemicals and additives;

� Nutrition claims such as rich in vitamin C that can not be proven or the alleged benefits proven.

This is just a start. Look for proof of environmentally friendly packaging and materials to be in the next wave of packaging being heavily scrutinized. Is it really "green" or just "greenwash?"

You can't stop the lawsuits and media spin; however, you can ensure you do your best to prove to the consumer that what is on the outside of the packaging is also what is inside.
