A Delicate Balance: The Truth Page #4

in optimal condition.

This supercharged vitamin D

has to be made in our kidneys

by conversion of the vitamin D made

in our skin following sun exposure

and then absorbed by the food we eat.

This supercharged vitamin D

has to be made in our body.

What we eat, however, is a

crucially important determinant

to how much supercharged

vitamin D is made,

as well as how well it works

once it is made in the kidneys.

Because the active form

of vitamin D is crucial

to maintaining all individual

cells in optimal condition,

disruption of its work can result

in a wide range of diseases.

Animal protein has a tendency to block

the conversion of vitamin

D to the active form.

If these low levels persist,

the result is prostate cancer,

as well as cancer of the breast, colon,

osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases,

such as type 1 or insulin

dependent diabetes and many others.

Also persistently high intakes

of calcium create an environment

where the supercharged

vitamin D declines.

Most doctors are not aware of

this and therefore recommend

both higher intakes of dairy

products and calcium suplements,

thinking they are reducing

the risk of osteoporosis.

Long-term consumption of

calcium, specially as occurs

in a young person's life and on into the

mid years, on the 20's, 30's and 40's,

if one is accustomed to consuming

really high levels of calcium,

the body again tries to addapt

to those, makes the most of it,

in a sense:
"it's not good", but

the body is doing as best as it can

to minimize the harm

that, otherwise, may occur.

So, when a person

reaches the late stages,

they're accustomed to

consume high calcium diets,

it's gonna take a while

to readapt a little bit.

And during that period,

and perhaps even before,

when calcium is consumed

to these high levels,

one of the means by which the body

protects itself against that harm,

is to minimize calcium absorpsion

in the intestinal tract.

Serious diseases are not only

affecting more and more people,

they are occurring at a younger age.

Belinda Emmet died of breast

cancer at the age of 32.

Despite the massive amounts of money that

have been poured into cancer research,

the risk of dieing from cancer

has actually increased

by 5% from 1970 to 1994.

John McDougall is a physician

and a nutrition expert

who teaches better health

through vegetarian cuisine.

He has been studying,

writing and speaking out

about the effects of nutrition

on disease for over 30 years.

This is what Dr. McDougall has to say:

I'm a medical doctor and I'm an

internist, a board-certified internist,

and I take care of my patients based on

correcting the cause of their sickness.

They're sick because they eat

a diet of kings and queens,

they eat rich foods all day

long, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It's a feast. Every morning,

they have easter for breakfast,

they go on to thanksgiving and

christmas for lunch and dinner,

and every night after dinner

they have a bithday party.

As a result of eating all this

feast food, this king and queen food,

they're fat and sick, just like royalty

has always been throughout history.

And so, the way you correct the problem

is not by giving them a bunch of drugs,

or vitamin pills, you change the cause

of the problem, all this rich food.

So, instead, you put

them on a healthy diet,

you put them on really tasty, healthy

foods, like oatmeal for breakfast.

You give them various healthy

soups and sandwiches for lunch.

(?) For dinner you give them

bean burritos, ??? vegetables.

Animal Protein And Cholesterol

Cause Heart Disease.

The higher the blood cholesterol,

the higher the risk of heart disease.

Heart disease is the most common

of the diseases of affluence.

It affects 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women.

It kills 1 in 3 of these people

every 30 seconds in the US alone.

5,200 People Die Everyday

Nearly Double The

People Who Died In 9/11

Women die 8 times more frequently

from heart disease then breast cancer.

Yet, most people are

more afraid of cancer

than the silent and

deadly number 1 killer.

Doctor Esselstyn is a distinguished

surgeon with some 40 years of expertise.

He conducted the longest study

demonstrating, beyond any doubt,

that a pure vegetarian diet,

with no dairy products or eggs,

effectively reverses heart disease

and stops it from progressing.

We have to appreciate just

how much cardiovascular disease

has really infiltraded

our health situation.

We know, for instance, that

to the battle casualties

that were studied in Korea and Vietnam

that, roughly, at an average age of 20,

80% of these young GIs, when

their cardionary arteries

are examined without a microscope,

already have gross evidence of the disease.

(?) Now, is it, therefore, any surprise

that when somebody like Dr. Louis ???,

who's a professional of public

health in the University of Pittsburg,

has stated that all men by

age 65 and women by age 70,

who had been exposed to a

traditional western diet,

have diffused cardiovascular disease?

What does that tell you?

Our entire nation, all men and all

women, have cardiovascular disease.

This is so powerful to get

across to the organizations

that are providing us with our

food and our food guidelines.

Most people think that medication for

lowering cholesterol and blood pressure

or bypass surgery can cure

their problems once they get it.

The pain accompanying heart disease

is often quite severe and crippling.

Bypass surgery and other available

procedures are not an effective solution.

In western medicine, what the

profession has to offer is,

(?) of course ???, drugs, pills,

procedures such as ??? bypasses.

Now, these procedures

have a great deal of risk.

It's not well advertised, but of

the million people, for instance,

who are going to be having a stent

this year, 1% are going to die.

the time of the stent.

1% of a million is 10,000.

Now, if we had lost 10,000 GIs in Iraq

this year, it would be called carnage.

Of those 1 million people who have

stents, there are going to be 4%

who are going to have a heart

attack at the time of the stent.

That means 40,000 people, at the

time they are having a procedure

to protect them from

having a heart attack

are going to sustain a heart attack.

(?) Pills and procedures truly

just don't get it done, ??? ,

because it never addresses the basic

causation of the disease itself,

which is the toxic western diet.

Blood cholesterol is the

single most crucial factor

in determining heart

and blood vessel disease.

Together with other fats, protein,

immune system cells and other components,

cholesterol deposits on

the inner walls of arteries.

This accumulation eventually leads to

blood vessel blockages to the heart.

According to the ?? Heart Study,

which appeared in the New

England Journal of Medicine,

50% of children 2 to 15

years have fatty streaks,

marking the beginning

stages of heart disease.
