"Their lives depended on making full use of seasonal migrations of harp seal and caribou to obtain winter meat supplies. During the summers, the settlers mounted polar bear- and walrus-hunting expeditions to Nordse-tur, the "northern coast" around Disko Bay, more than eight hundred kilometers north of the main western settlements. Bearskins and walrus tusks were the only trade goods of interest to the outside world. The Greenland Norse paid their annual church tithe to distant Norway in walrus tusks." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Cattle were as important as cereal crops, for they provided meat and milk as well as manure. But the farmers were caught in a vicious circle, for they needed animals to draw plows and to fertilize the soil. Their beasts in turn required more grazing land at the expense of cultivated fields. A fourteenth-century almanac adjured the farmer to "multiply his livestock for it is this which will give the land the manure that produces rich harvests."5 Nor did crops like barley, oats, and rye produce higher crop yields. The plants choked one another." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Writes Diamond: "Without human inventiveness, all of us today would still be cutting our meat with stone tools and eating it raw, like our ancestors of a million years ago."1 To which one could add that without these qualities, forged during the Ice Age, we would not have been able to navigate the unpredictable climatic rapids of the past ten thousand years. 243 Until ten millennia ago, all humanity lived by hunting animals large and small and by gathering wild plant foods. For most of this time, the global population was nearly stable, growing at a rate of just 0." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"I eat very little meat, and no flavorings. I have to be on a completely yeast-free and sugar-free diet. It is extremely restricted. But I have gotten used to it and I realize now that it's an extremely healthy diet. My experience with doctors has made me see the need for more awareness. So many physicians saw me as a neurotic middle-aged woman because of the symptoms that I had. The symptoms that go with environmental illness are numerous and have to be taken seriously by the medical profession. It is not all in our heads." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Rea said that it's secondary whether a person is a vegetarian or a meat eater. What is far more important today is the avoidance of chemicals?both chemical additives and residual chemicals. "For children I think it is imperative to get organic fruits and fruit juices even if you can't do anything more than this. From the figures I've seen, fruit and fruit juice tend to be more highly contaminated with pesticide residues than other classes of foods. Children eat more fruit and drink by far more fruit juice than adults." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In addition to supplements, it's found in nuts (especially Brazil nuts), meat, seafood, and—not surprisingly—garlic.

"He was a meat and potatoes man and a very picky eater. Over the years, he was exposed to lead paint and cadmium on his job and developed nocturnal seizures, low energy, digestive discomfort, and memory loss. I handled stress badly and was often intolerant. I had a bad accident: my breasts were caught between two doors and throbbed for two years. We started to follow a vegan protocol from a health book. We studied urine therapy and acupuncture, and began to use colonics and sprouting. My husband has fewer seizures today, has more energy and enhanced memory, and enjoys his new diet." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Gary Weber, whose job it was to reassure the viewing public of the absolute safety of meat. I felt sorry for the guy; he had an extremely difficult hand to play. He couldn't deny my assertion that we'd been feeding cows to cows, but beUttling the fact didn't sit well with a gasping audience. During commercial breaks he privately agreed with me that we shouldn't be adding chopped-up cow to animal feed." - Howard F.

"The autumn nut harvest and dried gazelle meat provided staples for the cold winter months. There must have been lean years and hungry months, but as long as the rains fell, there was enough food to feed even a growing village population. But the global warming that sustained this environment was interrupted. Far to the north, the great Laurentide ice sheet that had covered eastern North America for 100,000 years was in full retreat. Enormous volumes of freshwater flowed into the North Atlantic. Armadas of icebergs broke off from the eastern margins of the ice cap and melted offshore." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Protein, to make things simple, is found mainly in fish, meat and eggs, and, to some degree, in vegetables and legumes. Protein is the building-block source for the body. It has been well established by extensive experimentation that the body cannot survive without protein. If protein is absent or insufficient, the body will lack energy (its organs and cells cannot be repaired) and it becomes tired. It will become ill and eventually die. One might say protein, containing the amino acids, is factor #1 for survival. To put it enthusiastically, protein is life!" - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"They occur naturally at low levels in meat and dairy products, but most of the trans fats in the American diet are formed during a hydrogenation process that renders vegetable oils solid. Trans fatty acids inflict damage akin to the effects of saturated fats, except trans fats hit you with a double whammy—in addition to raising LDL levels, trans fats decrease your HDL levels at the same time. This is one reason many researchers consider trans fats to be a bigger bad boy than saturated fats." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "In fact, the Mediterranean-style diet is a perfect example of food synergy because it includes several healthful food patterns (it's rich in plant foods, whole grains, legumes, and fish; low in meat and dairy products; and contains more monounsaturated than saturated fat because of its emphasis on olives, olive oil, and walnuts). A recent study concluded that this way of eating might reduce the prevalence of both metabolic syndrome (a condition that includes excess body fat, high blood fats, and high blood pressure) and the cardiovascular risk that goes along with it." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "By eating small portions of meat and dairy as part of a mostly plant-based diet, says the AICR. I'll do you one better: Because dairy products contain the highest natural level of CLA among all dietary sources, how about we include a couple of servings of lower-fat dairy every day? Several other health programs already recommend this, including the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet for reducing heart disease and for osteoporosis prevention. Folic acid (folate)." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Major sources of B12 are meat, poultry, fish, milk, and other dairy products. Dietary Suggestions to Reduce Cardiovascular Risks Eat more fruits and vegetables. Eat more whole grains. Reduce fat intake to 25% to 30% of the diet. Reduce cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg a day. Reduce consumption of egg yolks to three to five per week. Minimize the use of whole milk and its products; use low-fat or nonfat milk products. Avoid red meats; eliminate all cured meats and lunchmeats. Eat more cold-water fish, such as sardines and salmon." - David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG, Medical Herbalism: The Science Principles and Practices Of Herbal Medicine (Get the book.)

"Consider making double batches of family favorites like meat loaf, spaghetti sauce, and soJjps. Look for recipes that call! for mostly "whole foods" and are easy to fix (because then you're more likely to actually try them). Eat in more often. Do the| fast-food thing less often. And when you do need to get food out, go to the chains with more whole foods, like fresh Mexican food (Baja Fresh, Chipotle), fresh sandwiches (with whole wheat buns, real chicken breast and sliced roast beef), and fresh pasta and Italian foods (some restaurants offer whole wheat pasta)." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Then they insisted that I give her meat, raw chopped meat. I gave her this and the cancer re-grew. The third time, they wanted me to give her some oil. I gave her the oil and the third time the cancer re-grew. But, anyway, three times I could eliminate the cancer again and cure. And still I had no idea what cancer was. If somebody asked me about the theory, just what it was I was doing, I had to answer, "I don't really know myself" The Nazis then drove Gerson to the States: I couldn't get the cancer problem and the cure of the first three cases out of my mind." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"It is naturally found in meat and fish but is also made by the liver, pancreas, and kidneys within the body itself. 286 Amino acids combine to form proteins and are necessary to build muscles. 287 Free radicals are atoms or group of atoms that has at least one unpaired electron and is therefore unstable and highly reactive. In animal tissues, free radicals can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease and age-related diseases. and chemicals added to the food we eat.

"Protein is found in eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, meat, fish, chicken, beans, seeds, nuts and many grains. Look to see if and when you are eating proteins. Are they a regular part of your diet? Are you drawn to them? Do you consciously choose them or do you try to avoid them? • Are you drawn to fat? Fat, like sugar, is linked to the beta-endorphin system. Sugar-sensitive people may well have an increased opioid response to eating fat. Fat and sugar work in tandem. If you've cut down on your fat, you may have unwittingly added a lot of sugars." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"The body makes glucose out of the meat, grains, vegetables and whole fruits that one eats naturally. It simply does not need all of those "-oses." The whole idea of this "name game" is to convey to each one of us the idea that the speaker or writer knows more about this stuff than we do; that we should not think for ourselves; and we should buy more sug - oops - we mean carbohydrates with high fructose corn syrup. It is designed to keep us from thinking for ourselves. It is designed to stop us from handling our sugar addiction.

"Today's children are grown up on MacDonald's and all the other fast food while the elderly people are still eating lots of vegetables and arresting their intake of meat." "In theory, should elderly people elect a special nutrition in relation to the younger generation? " Kevin L. Snead: "As you get older a lot of systems wear out especially when folks are on so many different medications. The body also does not assimilate most of the foods the way it was when it was 30 to 40 years old. This should be taken into account." "What is your special motto for the business you are in?

"As an alternative, please choose skinless poultry and the leanest cuts of meat available. The same holds true with the fish listed here. Although some of these fish can be quite contaminated with mercury, I include them to broaden the choices. 3. Avoid while on the program. Avoid these foods as much as possible during the program. As you recover and enter the maintenance phase, you may be able to eat a serving or two of these foods per week, depending on your individual constitution?some people can tolerate them, others can't." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "You stock it with separate containers of different ingredients—organic greens and chopped-up organic vegetables, grilled and diced organic chicken or meat, a delicious salad dressing.

"They tried increasing their caloric intake, adding meat to their vegetarian diet, taking vitamins and even drugs, and getting more sleep. Nothing worked, and their symptoms worsened. Dr.Tomatis traced the problem to a 1960 Vatican directive that had eliminated their traditional Gregorian chanting in favor of a "more constructive" use of their time. Dr.Tomatis's theory was that the monks' daily six hours of chanting had energized them, so they didn't need much sleep or food. Dr. Tomatis prescribed that they chant again." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Avoid the overconsumption of meat, alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, coffee, most nuts, eggs, vinegar, sauerkraut, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), pasteurized milk, cheese, white sugar, and medical drugs. Add additional servings of ripe fruit, vegetables, soybeans, bean sprouts, water, raw milk, onions, figs, carrots, beets, miso, and mineral supplements. It also helps to reduce anxiety when possible and include moderate exercise in your daily regimen. Strenuous exercise can actually contribute to an acidic environment in the body because of the increased production of lactic acid." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"The best food sources of zinc include beef and other meats; poultry, particularly dark meat; fish and other seafood, especially oysters; and eggs. Whole grain breads and cereals, nuts, legumes, and brewer's yeast are other good sources. Because they avoid animal foods, vegetarians have a tendency to experience zinc deficiency. Eating plenty of whole grains and other plant sources that contain zinc can help prevent this deficiency. It's important to note that zinc can interfere with copper absorption, therefore zinc and copper supplements should be taken apart from each other." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)
