Each year the health of the average American reaches new lows. We are fatter, less physically fit, more drug dependent, and more depressed than ever. The wars we have waged against heart disease, diabetes, drugs, alcohol, and cancer are all complete failures. But not all the news is bad. Companies like Pfizer, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Association, and other pharmaceutical and non-profit companies who have completely lost these “wars” are making more money than ever. Lipitor, one of Pfizer’s top selling drugs, has earned them 130 billion dollars since being introduced to the market. The salaries of the CEO’s of all these companies are at all time highs which is an indicator that business must be good.
So what about us? What about the average American? Americans are eating more fruits and vegetables than at any time in our history. We are exercising and limiting our portions. We are cutting back on sweets and sugary drinks we are taking the stairs and doing yoga for our stress, but still we are being diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other preventable diseases at an alarming rate. So what should we do? Stop!!!
Picture yourself in a new city with a new job. Each day you are learning more about the city, sometimes getting lost, sometimes getting on the wrong bus or taking a wrong turn. Each day you stop by the same newsstand to buy your morning paper and you speak to the proprietor, Joel, who gives you some piece of information daily. But, when you try and use his directions or advice, it always proves incorrect. How many times will it take before you stop listening to his advice?
Joel is representative of all American doctors and organizations who have been giving us bad advice for a very long time. We are conditioned to believe and respect doctors, but that is misguided at best and criminally insane in reality. Before you take anymore advice from anyone demand proof. And, if that person is a doctor, demand an explanation for the last 50 years of corrupt, deadly medicine.
“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
George Orwell, 1984
To move forward you need to rethink what it means to be a doctor. Doctors are not healers, they are people who memorize procedures and treatments taught in medical school and then repeat them. Your knee surgeon did not determine the best course of action for your knee through an understanding of all possible treatment paths and them choose the best one based on an intimate knowledge of you and on a tremendous amount of experience “successfully” treating others. Knee surgery is never successful, it just starts you on an inevitable path of more and more knee pain and problems. He or she was taught what to do and then asked to repeat the information over and over again until:
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
George Orwell, 1984
Until, they could pass whatever ludicrous hurdle in the form of a medical school exam or licensing procedure they had in between their current status and a good paying career.
If you cannot ignore everything your doctor tells you then it will be difficult for you to ever be healthy. So, step one is for you to become the ultimate authority in your life. Once you have achieved that, step two is to stop eating according to the guidelines of any governmental organization.
Step three is to only eat animals and animal products. That means any type of natural organic meat or dairy product. Vegetables are only to be used as medicine and for cooking and seasoning your other foods. Fruits are not part of a healthy diet. In terms of portion control and calorie counting, do not do it. Eat until you do not want to eat any more food. After two weeks on The Maasai Diet your body will have purged enough toxins from your system that you will no longer feel hungry. You will eat once a day although sometimes you might skip a day, but you will shift from eating according to an external source such as a food pyramid (ever wonder why they use a pyramid like the one on a dollar bill?) to the only source you need which is an internal one. If you are sick you will naturally eat more, if you exercise often you will eat a small amount more and if you are on vacation you will naturally eat less.
That’s a little peek at The Maasai Diet.
