The above pictures are of the Young's Rancho del Sol, Valley Center, California, where they grow Non-GMO, round-up free organic avocados which are now being harvested from the trees and shipped directly to your home.
Dr. Robert O. Young was once asked the question from one of his students while teaching his Microscopy Course, "what one food will improve my health and the health of my family more than any other?" Dr. Young replied without a moment of hesitation, "THE AVOCADO." He said, "It's just about the perfect food." Also, in Shelley Young's food preparation classes she always refers to the Avocado as "God's Butter."
The avocado originally came from Persia. It has been popular in South and Central America, Mexico and now in the U.S. The monounsaturated fat content gives the avocado its smooth, mellon taste and nut-like flavor.
The latest guidelines issued by the American Diabetes Association emphasize a diet rich in monounsaturated fat for improved diabetes control.
According to the guidelines, people with diabetes are no longer limited to a low carbohydrate, low fat diet and may instead choose a higher monounsaturated fat diet that includes avocados and olive oil. On pages 70 through 120 of the Annual Review of Diabetes 2002, the American Diabetes Association in their report, "Evidence-Based Nutrition Principals and Recommendations for the Treatment and Prevention of Diabetes and Related Complications," recommends that carbohydrate and monounsaturated fat intake should account for 60 - 70% of calorie intake for people with diabetes, and 15 - 20% should come from protein.
The new American Diabetes Association guidelines also present evidence that a diet high in good monounsaturated fat can improve glucose tolerance and reduce insulin resistance allowing for better control of diabetes.
Dr Young suggests, "Anyone with low or high blood sugar, or type I or type II diabetes, can significantly regulate their blood sugars by eating liberal amounts of avocados."
Studies confirm this showing that avocados are an essential food for people with higher than normal blood glucose levels. Results for the Diabetes Prevention Program, a landmark clinical trail from the National Institute for Health released in August 2001, indicate that diet intervention and exercise conclusively slash Type 2 diabetes risk by up to 58%.
The compound profile of the avocado includes a cholesterol-lowering by a phytosterol called beta-sitosterol and the anti-acid glutathione, according to Dr. David Huber, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. Evidence suggests phytosterol and glutathione found in avocados may help prevent certain types of cancers and heart disease in humans.
"The avocado has long been known for its special taste enhancing properties," Heber said. "However, new research demonstrates that avocados provide favorable phytochemicals that work in combination with biochemicals from other foods in the diet to enhance overall health."
Scientific evidence from a May 1999 study conducted under the California Avocado Commission shows that nutrient-dense avocados contain 76 mg. of beta-sitosterol per 100 grams of fruit. This is more than 4 times the beta-sitosterol found in other commonly eaten fruits, such as bananas, apples, cantaloupes, grapes, plums and cherries. Also, avocados do not have all the sugar that raises blood glucose! In addition, avocados contain at least twice the amount of beta-sitosterol found in other foods, including corn, green soybeans and olives.
Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol that occurs naturally in the avocado, according to Dr. David Heber, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and author of "What Color is your Diet."
Beta-sitosterol can inhibit cholesterol absorption in the intestine resulting in lower blood cholesterol levels. In animal studies, phytosterol has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors, particularly the growth of prostate tumors. A survey conducted by the National Cancer Institute in 1992 demonstrated that ounce per ounce, the glutathione content of avocados is three times that of bananas, apples, cantaloupes, grapes, plums and cherries. Glutathione is composed of three amino acids and functions as a buffer, neutralizing acids that can cause damage to cells in the body during the process of aging, heart disease and cancer. Numerous studies have linked glutathione to the prevention of various types of cancer, including cancer of the mouth and pharynx, and also heart disease.
“The California avocado is an excellent dietary source of glutathione and phytosterol, further demonstrating the value of the diverse plant-based diet and providing micronutrients that may have unique roles in the body and the potential to improve overall health and prevent chronic disease," Heber said.
According to Heber, he has discovered that avocados contain a biochemical called lutien, which is a carotenoid recently discovered in avocados and found in green vegetables to help protect against cancer, including Prostate Cancer.
UCLA lab tests showed that lutein reduces Prostate Cancer cell growth by 25%, while lycopene from tomatoes reduce cell growth by 20%. When lutein and lycopene were combined, Prostate Cancer cell growth was reduced by 32%. This indicates that both nutrients together help protect against Prostate Cancer better than either nutrient alone.
"Lutein and lycopene combination appear to have additive or synergistic effects against Prostate Cancer, our results suggest that further study should be done to investigate the nutrient interactions of lutein and lycopene at a subcellular and molecular level," said Heber.
Traditionally, lutein has been found in green vegetables such as parsley, celery and spinach, but was recently discovered in avocados. In fact, research shows that avocados are the highest fruit source of lutein among the 20 most frequently consumed fruits. In addition to the new Prostate Cancer findings, lutein is also known to protect against eye disease such as cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly, due to diabetes.
The new research at UCLA also indicates that avocados have nearly twice as much vitamin E as previously reported, making avocados the highest fruit source of this powerful buffer of acid. Vitamin E is known to slow the aging process and protect against heart disease and common forms of cancer by neutralizing acids, which may cause cellular damage. Heber states, "avocados are recognized as an excellent source of monounsaturated fat which is known to lower cholesterol levels, but the antioxidant and biochemical properties of avocados are less well-recognized. These plant nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables work together to reduce oxidative stress and prevent disease." Heber, along with 35 scientists at the UCLA Canter for Human Nutrition, has long endorsed a diet based on 5 to 11 servings per day of a diverse selection of fruits and vegetables like the avocado. Worldwide research demonstrates the high intake of fruits and vegetables are associated with better health due largely to their disease-fighting properties.
The oil also gives the avocado its high food energy value. The avocado contains fourteen minerals, all of which regulate body functions and stimulate growth. Especially, noteworthy are its iron and copper contents, which aid in red blood cell regeneration and the prevention of nutritional anemia. It also contains a higher source of potassium than bananas and sodium which gives it a high alkaline reaction without all the sugar. The avocado contains no starch and very little sugar and therefore does not raise blood sugar levels but provides a high source of fat, 80%, which the body can metabolize for energy and use for construction of cellular membranes. The avocado is also a great source of protein at 10 to 15%.
For all the reasons above, the avocado will be one of the most important foods that you eat and has been a major player in reversing Cancer, Heart Disease, and Type I and Type II diabetes as the body moves away from sugar metabolism to fat metabolism and all its protective attributes. Dr Robert O. Young suggests 2 to 3 avocados a day, for a 154 lb. man or woman, as good fats are at the foundation of balancing blood sugars and the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet. One of our favorite avocado breakfasts is the Avorado Kid Green Shake (see Recipes and More) or a bowl of broccoli, avocado and tomato.

Red-meat intake linked to increased risk of diabetes
Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY10:16 p.m. EDT June 17, 2013
Eating more unprocessed and processed red meat over time raises risk of type 2 diabetes.
The latest nutrition news may put a damper on your desire to grill hot dogs, pork chops and T-bone steaks this summer.
Increasing your intake of red meat over time is associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, says a large, long-term study out Monday.
Other research has linked consumption of both unprocessed and processed red meat to diabetes, but this study tracked the risk of developing the disease over a long time because people's eating behaviors often change through the years.
"This is stronger evidence that red meat consumption contributes to an increased risk of diabetes," says the study's senior author Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health.
For the latest study, researchers analyzed data from three Harvard studies that tracked 149,000 health-care professionals who completed questionnaires about their diets every four years. The men and women were followed for 12 to 16 years. Red meat consumption varied widely, but on average people ate 1½ servings a day.
The findings, published online in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Internal Medicine, show:
- People who increased their intake of red meat by as little as a half a serving a day (about 1.5 ounces) had a 48% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes over a four-year period, compared with people who did not change their red-meat intake.
- Eating more red meat was associated with weight gain, and that weight gain accounted for some but not all of the increased risk of developing the disease.
- People who decreased their red-meat intake by half a serving a day over four years did not have a short-term reduced risk of developing the disease in the next four years, but they had a reduced risk of developing the disease by 14% over the next 10 years or so, suggesting a long-term effect.
The findings apply to both processed red meat, such as lunch meat and hot dogs, and unprocessed red meat, such as hamburger, steak and pork, but the association was stronger for processed meat, says lead author An Pan of the National University of Singapore who worked on the study while he was at Harvard.
Diabetes afflicts almost 26 million adults and children in the USA. Most have type 2 diabetes. About 79 million Americans have prediabetes. The long-term complications of the disease include heart attacks, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage and amputations.
The authors note the study is observational and does not prove cause and effect.
Hu says the high amount of sodium and nitrites in processed meats are possible factors contributing to diabetes. The heme iron in red meat also may be one of the contributing factors, he says. Although iron helps prevent anemia, many people in this country have iron overload, which is a risk factor for diabetes, he says. "There are probably other factors in these meats that contribute to diabetes."
He advises reducing the consumption of these types of meats and incorporating more nuts, low-fat dairy and whole grains into meals.
Registered dietitian Shalene McNeill, a spokeswoman for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, says, that there's "a lot of good scientific evidence" that supports the role of lean beef in a healthful, balanced diet.
A 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides 10 essential nutrients, such as protein, zinc, iron and many other vitamins and minerals, for only about 150 calories, she says.
William Evans, head of the Muscle Metabolism Discovery Performance Unit at GlaxoSmithKline, and an adjunct professor of geriatric medicine at Duke University, says in the accompanying editorial that "the interaction of the many genetic and lifestyle factors that contribute to the cause of type 2 diabetes is remarkably complex and still not well understood. The major factors associated with risk are levels of physical activity, body fatness, distribution of body fat and diet."
Evans says he doesn't think it's the red meat that's the problem, "but the amount of saturated fat in meat. Saturated fat causes the inflammation in the body which increases the risk of bad things like heart disease and diabetes.
"You can eat lean cuts of beef like sirloin tip steak, top round steak and beef tips that are extremely low in fat and saturated fat, even lower than a number of cuts of chicken. Cheddar cheese has as much saturated fat as a T-bone steak."
As people grow older, they need to eat more protein, but they also need to reduce their calories, Evans says. "You can get that protein from fish, poultry and lean red meat."
Yet, Hu says, "saturated fat is just one of the many components of red meat that contribute to diabetes."
Dr. Robert O. Young, research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center states, "the primary cause of Type I and Type II diabetes is damage to the intestinal villi in the small intestines from acids coming from the ingestion of animal proteins, including beef, chicken, turkey, duck, pork and fish. The acids from meat that degenerate the intestinal villi are nitric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphuric acid and uric acid. When the intestinal villi are damaged from the poisonous acids coming from animal proteins then embryonic cells that produce red blood cells cannot be created. This forces the body to produce red blood cells out of body cells which increases blood plasma glucose as a biological waste product from body cell transformation. This is the cause of hyperglycemia. To reverse the increase in blood plasma glucose eliminate all animal protein, detox the bowels of undegested animal protein and heal the intestinal villi with an alkaline lifestyle and diet as outlined in the pH Miracle for Reversing Type I and Type II Diabetes."
THERMOGRAPHY FOR BREAST CANCER PREVENTION . Breast Thermography is a physiological, non-invasive screening procedure that detects and records infrared heat emissions from the breast, which can aid in the early detection of abnormal changes in breast tissue. Breast Thermography offers women information that no other procedure can provide. The procedure is based on the principle that chemical and blood vessel activity in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in the normal breast.
Since pre-cancerous and cancerous masses are highly metabolic tissues, they need an abundant supply of nutrients to maintain their growth. The cells release substances that stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (neoangiogenesis). This process results in an increase in surface temperatures of the breast.
The most promising aspect of medical diagnostic thermography is its ability to spot abnormalities years before the tumor is seen on any anatomical test. Since thermal imaging detects changes at the cellular level, this test can detect activity 8 to 10 years before any other test. This makes it unique in that it affords us the opportunity to view changes before the actual formation of the tumor.
Studies have shown that by the time a tumor has grown to sufficient size to be detectable by physical examination or mammography, it has in fact been growing for about seven years achieving more than 25 doublings of the malignant cell colony. At 90 days there are two cells, at one year there are 16 cells, and at five years there are 1,048,576 cells--an amount that is still undetectable by a mammogram. Thermography has the ability to provide women with future risk assessment. If discovered, certain thermographic risk markers can warn a woman that she needs to work closely with her doctor with regular checkups to monitor her breast health.
If Breast Thermography (test of physiology) combined with Breast Ultrasound (test of anatomy) can help to discover abnormality and also breast cancer in its earliest stage. . Please remember -- early detection, which includes self examination and safe, painless, non-invasive medical diagnostic Ultrasound and Thermography screenings with NO radiation Saves Lives! www.phmiracle.com
I remember the run up to the 2011 Election when JLP supporters was pushing Andrew Holness as the only solution to Jamaica’s problems. I remember people singing his praises claiming that he was a different leader, a new type of leader, a 21st century leader, a break from the old fashion firebrand dark-hearts brand of leadership, that have done more harm than good and have taken Jamaica nowhere.
Now the very same people who placed this man on a pedestal as the second coming are now shouting that they want the firebrand dark-hearts brand of leadership back in charge of the party, so they can deliver fire and brimstone to the PNP. These supporters told the people to vote for Andrew because he was the best of the best, it now seems that all that was a pack of lies and they were wrong and must admit that they were wrong.
Now they are telling the people that Audley Shaw represents the Best of the Best, their man of the hour, presenting him like the second coming. How are we to believe a people who push one man under false pretenses only to turn around 1 year and 8 months later and push another man, certainly your words are not your bond… So why would anyone now believe the JLP on Audley Shaw, this seems more like an act of desperation to me.
I remember the day after the December 29th, 2011 elections when JLP supporters angry from their defeat, came on to the messaging boards of various sites and curse out the Jamaican people for not voting for Andrew Holness. The Jamaican people were classed like free-loading ox-tail eating dogs, let-off specialist who would regret not voting for a brilliant person like Holness.
Well it seems that these JLP people owes the Jamaican people an apology because you have come to the same conclusion that the Jamaican People came to on that Election Day, however it took you about 1 year and 8 months to realize that you were wrong on Andrew Holness. If Holness was the best thing since slice bread then you should have all backed him and speak with one voice… I will never understand why everyone in the opposition party, some being paid by the tax payers, hold shadow minister positions, sits in parliament and do not oppose the Government but wait for one man to open his mouth, it seems if the maximum leader don’t talk then everyone just keep quiet. If Andrew Holness is voted out as leader of the party then the JLP party was the wrong party last election with the wrong leader trying to push him on the country.
Obese, Fat, Overweight, Bloated Public Sector:
Is Everybody in Jamaica hired by the Government? Just how much people do the Government employ and why…. I am beginning to rethink the Governments role in the day to day operation and involving in the country and its economy… What should the primary purpose of the Government be…? Certainly to make sure the proper infrastructure is in place, to provide security and to create an environment that supports increase private sector economic activity but not actually be the entity who employees most of the population… The Government seems to collect taxes just to pay salary and create fictitious/bogus jobs…
Spoon feeding the population creates a cycle of deep dependency hence the let off cultural and cries that Government must give, Let Off, and provide all manner of things that people should be providing for themselves… In 2010 the size of the public sector was conservatively listed as 117,000 direct positions which represents a drain on the public’s purse. Jamaica's wage bill as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) running at $147.6 billion this year (2013), or 10.9 per cent of GDP and yet people are still calling on the Government to provide more jobs, hire more people and pay them with scarce tax dollar, this is the same reason why we still have an army of cane cutters with machetes, …welfare work.
Jamaica is and it seems will always be a Welfare State because the people are happy to be welfare recipients. As a person who use to work in the public sector I have firsthand knowledge of the waste that take place in that sector, everything was up for grabs as people take what they want. The public sector is littered with built in multiple redundancies for every position… The sector is littered with family and friend and friends of friends and political cronies…The welfare position of the Government stifles real economic growth because it kills the desire of the people to use their imagination and innovation to be creative and dynamic, people just keep up almshouse... Government fi let off just does not cut it in this day and age.
The Pearl of the Caribbean
The popular version of History is almost never correct, it is always told from the perspective of the victor and real historians always investigate the facts from all sides. One of the biggest myth regarding Jamaica is that Jamaica was the pearl of the Caribbean, it becomes more of a joke when it is quoted by Black Jamaicans who never enjoyed any of its “pearlness”… The question to ask is who was it a pearl to? To the British, Jamaica was a pearl at various times over the 350 years they directly ruled this rock, it was a pearl during slavery and colonisation and I am sure the slaves never enjoyed any of this “Pearlness”.
Britain had many pearls all over the Empire but the British definition of pearl was based only on their ability to invest very little into a location while getting maximum extraction of wealth. To some who quote this pearl nonsense, they know nothing about literacy rate, healthcare, employment rate, availability of housing and all other economic and social indicators as it relates to the common man because if they know the facts they would never call Jamaica a pearl of anywhere. None of the social and economic documents that I have ever read about our past, points to Jamaica being a pearl except to a certain small class of people and the British… This is why I could spend most of my time just investigating history form all different angles. There is enough historical artefacts out there that would paint a more accurate picture of our past, so whenever you hear any one of these muppets start talking about Jamaica being a pearl with pride ask them, who was it a pearl to?
On another note, I am on my 4th reading of Geoffrey of Monmouth, just love this old book and the medieval term to “Lay Waste”, back then when they finish Laying Waste to a village or a town you can bet your last dollar that they did some major damage…Another terminology I like is "rape and pillage"... I spent most of my time as a child watching 10:00 am matinees and I preferred Vikings and Medieval movies because they were always laying waste and raping and pillaging some place…
70% of History is based on Nostalgia, Fantasy and Perception I am particular interested in Early Jamaican migration to Britain, the reality surrounding such migration, the mindset of the people in the early 1900s and why they decided to leave, what they found when they got there and what happened... I continue to interrogate the older members of my family whenever I get the chance, about conditions in Jamaica and the UK at time... A lot of history is based on nostalgia, fantasy and perception and I am forced to dig deep in order to get to the reality of the time…
The social and economic condition of both Britain and the Jamaica is well documented and helps to dispel the nostalgia, fantasy and perception fog as even older Jamaicans living in Jamaica would tell you things was better when they were a boy but they were a boy and seeing reality through a boys eyes. Migration to America was just an extension of early 1900 migration as the migratory mindset of most Jamaicans was firmly in place the day slavery ended. It was not surprising then that even after the JLP Government of the 1980’s delivered the Jamaican people from the so called bondage of the PNP 70’s, that migration increased from 20% to 64% by 1988. During Slavery we wanted to escape the plantation, to run away and after slavery we wanted to escape Jamaica.
Jamaica needs at least two viable Political Parties
The JLP CANNOT continue to be this dysfunctional …. Doing so is a crime against the Jamaican people, they have no concept of circle the wagon and do not buy into any ideology or vision while operating like crabs in a barrel. The only reason Edward Seaga held on for so long as leader was because he was one of those tough as nail leader, one man not to be fucked with and it took them many years/decades and many gangs of # to finally dispose him….
For the 18 years while the PNP was in power, the JLP was one big dysfunctional mess, a massive clusterfuck of a party, whose only answer to the Government was block road and street riots, slash and burn politics... and yet they continue blame the Jamaican people for not voting for them, what a joke, give them something to vote for, instead of waiting around for something to vote against... I was for Dr. Tufton as leader of that party and Andrew as deputy leader... together paving a way for a more youthful concept of innovation and imagination but I am beginning such concepts do not exist, since they always revert what they know best, block, road, riot,slash and burn ...
Technology Blows…
Somehow I thought that with all the technological advancements humanity has made, we would at least have a 3 day weekend by now but the reverse is true… The more advance we get the longer hours we work, even when you are at home and on a weekends they can still contact you for work…
Is the JFJ a Political wing of the JLP? I totally agree that the issues being fought for by Jamaican for Justice are important issues however the problem is the JFJ only seem to fight for them when their party is out of power and as such I question their real intentions…
I am all for NGOs targeting the Establishment, as long as it is done in a fair and balance way… I like my NGOs to be independent, not aligned to any political parties. However clearly the JFJ is a political wing of the JLP and as such any NGO who is aligned to any Political Party will never get my support, regardless of which party they are aligned with. It is a shame because this group could be so much more than just a mouth piece for a party.
During the last Government the JFJ paid light lip service to various issues which was their feeble attempt to appear fair and balance but they never took the attack dog posture like how they do now. They were hardly in the news, no minister or ministry was targeted, from 2007 to 2011 Jamaica had children in adult lockup but for the most part they said nothing, at no time did the JFJ attack Babsy Grange or any member of the JLP like how they are attacking Lisa Hanna. However they were very active in the run up to the 2007 election but went suspiciously silent for the most part after that. JFJ is doing the work of their political handlers; they are no different than G2K or PNPYO, in that respect or any other Political subgroup and until that organization disconnects itself from party politics they will never get my support… You walk like a duck, quack like a duck, then you must be a duck.
Jamaica = Singapore? Makes me laugh every time Jamaicans try to compare the Jamaican economy to Singapore economy, claiming that we should be where Singapore is with regard to economic development and growth.
The problem is they are missing one vital factor… The people… The difference between Singapore and Jamaica is the mind-set of the people, Discipline, attitude to work, family and life in general is completely different… sacrifice, sacrifice and more sacrifice defines people from that part of the world. For the most part we Jamaicans are a merriment/profile society who regards hard work and long hours as slave driving, coupled with our Let-Off mentality…. Our basic attitude to work is… “The boss not paying me enough to come out of bed, much less get in on time”… In most black communities worldwide you will find Asians hard at work supplying services way into the night, nail salons stay open to do the nails of black people going out to party and enjoy themselves... All West Indians grocery stores are run by Asians, and Chinese food is bought through bullet proof glass all hours of the night and day...
Operation Lisa Hanna and Youth and Culture The opposition and their operatives has clearly centered their attention on the Ministry of Youth and Culture, normally considered a minor ministry. Not the Ministry of Finance, Not the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, not the Ministry of Justice or education or agriculture but on Youth and Culture.
I cannot remember this Ministry ever being in the news this much pre 2011 and I cannot understand why with the state of the economy and crime, this ministry is the opposition’s main target through its operatives The Jamaican for Justice. The Ministry of Finance, of Commerce and Industry and Agriculture are all far more important sectors required for economic growth, it is where money is generated so we can spend it on Youth and Culture and if we cannot get those ministries right then I do not see how we are going to get Youth and Culture right, just seems Ass backwards to me. I have been told that they see the young minister as a growing threat. They can’t call her low classed, uneducated or a communist and she does not have any gunman or garrison so maybe she can can win elections because she does not have any of the baggage of the older members and they must try and slap her down from now. Yes they tried the pretty dunce thing but that did not hold any traction and even tried to use her divorce and the lost of her child to her powerful husband against her.
The fact is none of these groups, or individuals attacking Lisa Hanna would dare do the same to her predecessor Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, who wears the crown for the undisputed Queen of Gutter Behaviour and controls a Garrison, duppy really know who fi frighten fi true…
However Lisa Hanna was baited into a trap by the JFJ and she fell right into it, call it youth and inexperience but her response was way over the top. It is true that the JFJ has been targeting Ms. Hanna from day one, being a thorn in her side but she needed to rise above it and separate her personal feelings from her Government and Political life, in this round of exchange JFJ 1-0 Hanna.
Real Museum of Jamaican History's Old Photos I am addicted to old photos of Jamaica, trying very hard to get an idea of life in the past.
Crime Tolerance is Location Dependent A friend of mine spend most of her time talking a lot about leaving Jamaica, how horrible it was and the crime, lawd the crime, even though at the time she was never a victim of any crime. A few years ago she finally became a victim of the dreaded crime, when she was held up and her car stolen and not long after that she packed up her milo boxes and off to foreign, never to return to crime ridden Jamaica…
I have another friend living in America, she was held up twice, assaulted once and raped once but I have never heard her say how dangerous America was and she was leaving that damn country, not even the state or location where she live, never!… For many, Jamaica is Dangerous even though they have never experience any crime, they go and come, all their lives only hearing about crime but when they are in countries like America crime seems totally acceptable, natural part of life, there crime elasticity is very high...
I am Sick and Tired of Humanity
I am so sick of the Middle East, I am on Middle East overkill now and I change the channel when any news comes on... It’s been like this for a long, long time and will remain like this so long as they exist.
I am sick and tired of hate mongers, regardless of religion or race...Hate mongers are happiest when they have a reason to hate... hate makes them happy...
I am sick and tired of Factions, Race, Religion, Phobias, Politics and Political Parties…
I am especially sick and tired of the PNP, JLP and their diehards, I despise them.
I am really sick of humanity and their petty Bull Shit Rubbish, constantly belly aching about someone coming to take their stuff or trying to take other peoples stuff or not getting enough stuff or taking too much stuff, greedy selfish pricks… People need to stop acting like they are going to live forever and realize that they are only on this planet for a very, very short time. Yes you are going to die, we are all going to die then rot and be eaten by worms and over time no one will even remember we existed and everything we go on about, all those divisions in life will not matter after that…
Regarding Paula Deen
With Freedom comes Responsibilities…. The more freedom one has, the more responsibility and discipline one needs exercise. Everyone is free to say what they want, so long as one understands that there are consequences to your actions, not everything one thinks, needs to be said out loud. In Business one needs to exercise even more responsibility and discipline especially in this global, multicultural, multiracial Market place because business is all about the market. Everyone wants to increase their market share and pissing off large sections of society, sends the wrong message to the market place which is why I understand and supports Food Network’s decision to remove that vile racist woman, Paula Deen.
Historically corporations are known to pull their adverts for various reasons, companies have pulled adverts because of interracial, lesbian and gay couple’s on shows... Lowe's and 64 other Companies pulled commercials from future episodes of "All-American Muslim," a TLC reality-TV show, after protests by Christian groups. The Rush Limbaugh advertiser exodus after his statement about Georgetown law school student Sandra Fluke, calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute”, from the Imus show after he called the woman basketball players nappy headed hoes. ABC decided against renewing Bill Maher's contract for Politically Incorrect in 2002, after he made a controversial on-air remark shortly after the September 11 attacks. It is a fact that you are free to say what you but it is also a fact that in Business and in life there are consequences to what you say… Think before you talk. In response to article in the Daily Gleaner: Hanna wants anti-abortion laws reviewed
The increasing news of dead newborn babies being found all over the place in Jamaica, is disturbing, some found in open lands (a bush) and open pit latrines ... is just horrible....One of the problems we have here in Jamaica is that, about 6 out of 10 kids are what is called Barrel Pickney and if you ask them to point to a picture of their mother and father, they would point to a Barrel or Western Union... It would be interest to find out the family status of Criminals, Gangsters, Shottas, Murderers and Thieves and young mothers and fathers and other delinquents ... what percentage of them grew up in stable homes with both loving mother and father, proper parents and what percentage was raised by extended families and friends or on the street because their mothers and fathers are far away foreign countries with their new family and they almost never get to see them, no hugs or kisses...
The impact on these children of this type of neglect includes a range of emotional and behavioural problems including run-away behaviour, withdrawal, depression, and in some cases, acting-out behaviors, children then turn into adults with anti-social behaviors as the norm, no respect for society and themselves, dog eat dog world. For barrel children the psychological scars have been great and have been troubling factors unto the second, third and fourth generations. At holiday times, barrels of love are shipped, disguised as brand-name sneakers and clothing, believing that these would make their children happy and make up for them not being around. But the fact remains that the children are deprived of the real love of their parents and only the barrel remains as one of the few tangible signs of any affection. Studying the negative effects of migration is not something most Jamaicans actually care about, not when the act of migrating can result in an inflow of remittance... But i digress.....
Some people are acting like abortion/prevention is an either/or situation, no to abortion and yes to prevention but it is not an either/or situation… We must give people as much options as possible; everything is a weapon in our arsenal… We must push for prevention as much as possible, educate our young people about making the right decisions in life. But as they say “The best laid plans of mice and men”… That even the most carefully prepared plans may go wrong and as such abortion should also be an option, we hope an option of last resort but an option none the less… Link: Hanna wants anti-abortion laws reviewed
Spies, Spooks and Peeping Toms
News broke the other day that the American and British Government was listening to our phone calls and reading our internet communications and I was shock that everyone else was shocked because I thought this was already being done and have been done since the invention of the telephone and internet. I just took it for granted that there was an overpaid spook, whose job it was to read and listen to my daily rants…. It is about time everyone understands that freedom is a theoretical concept that have no basis in reality. The Americans for example love to talk about Freedom and democracy and pride themselves on being freer than the rest of the planet but that is just ideological indoctrination for dumb asses. The Government will do what the Government wants to do and if anyone question them then they use the fear card. George Bush use to push up and down the Terror alert levels depending on what piece of legislation he was trying to put in place… Throughout history all Governments use fear to get their way. So at this very moment both the British and American Government knows your sex habits, all those perverted google search terms (massive mammaries) have been collected and cataloged you perverts… hahahahaha… I say let’s start communicating in random, meaningless World War II like codes… “The chair is on the wall, the chair is on the wall…The fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies is now in place”…. That should leave them scratching their heads for a while…
The Worst Science Fiction movie:
In history is without a doubt ….”Independence Day”… Staring “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” because Will Smith did not create another unique character for that movie, he just reused the old one… The Writing Rubbish, Plot Rubbish, execution of Plot Rubbish…. They were too lazy to connect the dots and took the viewing audience for idiots… For a good Sci-Fi movie special effects are nice but not required... The concept is everything… In the original Star Wars they raided Sesame Street and used a lots of Muppets and I am sure R2-D2 was Oscar the Grouch’s trash Can but the concept and execution was perfect. I say in history because they had no excuse, it was high budget but low quality.. The 1953 film War of the World with Gene Barry and Ann Robinson was much better than it by far...
Superman vs. Batman
The previous superman movies just did not do it for me, I remember watching the first Christopher Reeve’s movie and was excited about it but that quickly wore off, however the line “kneel before zod” will live on forever. Reeve was perfect for the role but the writing, plot and characters were way too weak for a comic head like me, coupled with directors who ignore decades of comic history and decided to create their own idea of what superman was, the same can be said for some of the old batman movies… I can sit down and watch the old star wars over and over but I cannot sit down and watch the old superman without feeling like throwing something at the screen. The worst one by far was Superman Return, I was not sure what the writers and directors was trying to do but it was an epic failure not worth a second watch and what made it even worst was that the movie had the technology to do whatever it wanted, let’s hope one day they decide to put superman vs doomsday on film…
I think people are either a Superman or a Batman fan, everyone have a preference, I am a Batman person, not that fancy pants version of batman but the Frank Miller, Jeph Loeb type Batman, mean and gritty, the Batman who would not kill you but when he is finish with you, you wished he had, not to mention he carries a piece of Kryptonite with him just in case he needs to whop Superman’s ass..
I am Missing The Premiere League
“Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last attack. A good ball by Dixon, finding Smith, for Thomas, charging through the midfield. Thomas, it's up for grabs now! Thomas! Right at the end! An unbelievable climax to the league season.”…. Epic Announcing!!!.... Premier league withdrawal symptoms, I need some..

Brazil World Cup Riots
When it was announced that the FIFA World Cup was awarded to Brazil, loads of Brazilians took to the streets in celebration as they danced the samba, happy as a pig in slop... Now they are running riot after having a change of heart and mind... I think FIFA needs to have a backup/standby venue and move the world cup out of Brazil and try not to select any more dead beat countries big on talk and short on cash... Frankly it is a bit fracking late now! If Brazil was such a broke, dead beat country who could not afford to host the world cup, then they should not have bid for it, why the hell did they bid for it? I am beginning to believe that the Brazilian squad is not good enough and the shame of not winning the World Cup it in Brazil is taking its toll.
Brazilians should have protested BEFORE FIFA voted, they should have made their voices heard sending a clear message that the world cup is not welcome in Brazil, that as a country Brazil could not afford it and that they have more pressing needs... What they are doing now should have been done the second their government announced their intention to bit for the honour of hosting the world cup..... I saw or heard no such protest against the world cup... I only saw celebration... I did not see any running battles with police.... I did not even read about a grumble....
Eat what you Grow
Some people in the world cannot and wish they had our climate, nice amount of rain fall, perfect amount of sunshine, fertile soil full of life... Never look a gift horse in the mouth... and you never know how good you have it until you lose it... Eat what you Grow, Grow what you eat!!!!
First of all when the IMF or economist says the dollar is overvalued what they are in fact saying is that the dollar is overvalued in relation to our ability to earn US dollar, it is overvalued in relation our low economic activity and no growth.
We all understand that there are different categories of imports, we all understand that there are good imports and bad imports. Capital goods imported as a requirement for production is good import, medicine is good import, education supplies good import, on the other hand bottled water imported from Trinidad is bad imports, importing things we already produce is also bad import and a waste of foreign exchange and have the effect of kicking away the legs from under local businesses. So it is true that the depreciation of the Jamaican dollar is like a knife that cuts both ways or like cutting off your nose to spite your face…
One also needs to look at what we are trying to accomplish as a result of dollar depreciation, what process are we trying to kick start. It is interesting that the writer uses the chicken example, chicken needs feed and we import the feed but this is where import substitution comes in for some things. Is it then possible for a local industry in chicken feed to develop and replace feed imports, giving the fact that imported chicken feed is now more expensive? I read where a number of chicken farmers and a part of the best dress chicken operation is trying to switch to free range organic chicken thus eliminating some imported feed requirements. It is this process of import substitution that we need to develop in Jamaica for the things we can produce. When things get hard in our personal lives we often tighten our belts, cut back, conserve, consume less while we try to figure out a way to improve our cash flow, we might do things like taking a second job, or finding a new job that pays better, well it is the same for the economy. The Government regardless of which political party makes up that entity cannot continue to borrow from Peter to prop up the exchange rate market especially for us to import things like water and Hennessey but I do believe that instead of propping up the entire exchange rate the Government should do more to help companies that requires imported capital, which is good import as oppose to bad import, as an input to local production and employment. We cannot just ga-long-so, with no care in the world and no consideration for the consequence of our actions. The only way to revalue the dollar is through growth and I do not see any growth program coming out of Jamaica.
Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown suspended after failing drug test
With regards to Veronica Campbell: Athletes more than anyone else knows the rules… She is old enough, been at this long enough to know the rules… however I await her side of the story to hear what she have to say, what possible reason could she come up with and if you are found guilty of trying to cheat the system please do not expect any support... I do not have time for rubbish, so I hope it was a honest mistake... What upsets me is the fact that the international press feel they have some ammunition to use against Jamaica, ever since Jamaica started dominating tracks they have been looking for a reason to point the finger… They were never bothered with the lesser athletes but finally they got a big name and the international news media do not do subtle reporting when it comes to Jamaica. Not only to they like to hang our dirty laundry in global view but they have a knack for making that laundry look even more dirty and disgusting than it really is….
I have been surveying the International media when this thing started and it made headlines from Europe to the Americas. From CNN to BBC, from the Guardian to fox sports, to ESPN, many of the world’s largest media houses have been carrying the story and some of them are not nice. Some are also trying to throw a wider net, trying to spread doubt in the minds of people, trying to take us down a notch making some subtle and some not so subtle accusations against all of our athletes.
The statement from the IAAF regarding the case stated: “The doping case involving Jamaican sprint star Veronica Campbell-Brown appears to involve a "lesser" offense of unintentional use of a banned substance, the sport's world governing body said Wednesday. “
Fox Sports Reported: “….”Veronica Campbell-Brown's agent insists one of the cornerstones of Jamaica's wide-ranging sprint success ''is not a cheat,'' even though the test results read differently…..”
I wanted them to have nothing to hold over our heads… but I am happy the charge is not as serious.
This is an article on the most important aspects of acid/base chemistry in the prevention and cause of degenerative disease with a few notes on extra sources of hard core acids and their consequences in the cause, prevention and treatment ofAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or in short ALS.
The first part of the dis-ease name in ALS, Amyotrophic comes from the Greek language: A- means "no", myo refers to "muscle", and trophic means "nourishment"; amyotrophic therefore means "no muscle nourishment," which describes the characteristic atrophication or muscle tissue acidification of the sufferer's muscle tissue which is being broken down from dietary and metabolic acids not properly eliminated through the four channels of elimination. (Bowels, Urinary system, Lungs and Pores of the skin) The blood will deposit dietary, metabolic, environmental and respiratory acids into the connective tissues, which includes the muscles to maintain the blood's delicate pH balance at 7.365. Lateral identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that are affected by acidiic waste products that are deposited into the tissues from the blood. As this area degenerates form acidic waste products of diet and metabolism it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in the region of deposit. The body is designed to solidfy ALL liquid poison acids that are NOT properly eliminated through the four channels of elimination of prevent blood and tissue degeneration. The problem with maintaining the alkaline design of the blood and then tissues is the accumulaton of an acidic load every day from personal acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. FOR EVERY dietary and/or metabolic ACID MOLECULE EXCRETED BY THE KIDNEYS, THAT ACID MOLECULE MUST TAKE A BASE or ALKALINE MINERAL WITH IT TO KEEP IT NEUTRAL - to keep the acid waste part from burning up or destroying muscle cells, bone cells, brain cells, liver cells, kidney cells, etc. This is how the body is designed to maintain its alkalintiy while dealing with its daily acidic functions, such as moving, breathing and thinking. In other words, the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function. Stated simply, ALS is just another dis-ease of accumulated acidic dietary, metabolic, respiratory and/or environmentat waste products deposited from the blood into the connective tissues. ALS has only one cause - ACID! And, one cure - restore the alkaline design to the blood and tissues.
For example, in diet every animal protein acid (uric, nitric, phosphoric, sulphuric acids) molecule ingested, a base mineral must leave, eventually, through the kidneys. Since the base molecule is lost through defecation or urination and not reabsorbed back into blood circulation that equates to a double loss of base and why eating animal protein is so dangerous to the health of the brain and body.
In a normal situation, the hydrochloric acid produced by the cover cells of the stomach is matched by the production of an equivalent amount of sodium bicarbonate (each molecule of sodium bicarbonate the stomach cells produce is matched by the counter production of just one, hydrochloric acid molecule). This sodium bicarbonate goes the other direction (except when ingesting food or liquids than the sodium bicarbonate molecule remains in the stomach to buffer the acids of the food or drink) into the blood stream and circulates all around, first flushing out the excess acid in the tissues and especially, freeing the collagen fibers and the colloidal connective tissue organ from the adsorbed acids stored there. The acids buffered by sodium bicarbonate secreted by the cover cells of the stomach come from metabolism, diet, respiration and environment.
Any sodium bicarbonate that is left over is picked up by the alkaline glands, the liver, the pancreas, the salivary glands, the pylorus glands, the duodenum, the intestinal glands, etc.
An acid/alkaline imbalance leading to inflammation and then degeneration, that may be the cause of ALS happens because the sodium bicarbonate generated by the stomach's cover cells, does not all go to the alkaline glands (pancreas, liver, salivary glands and the alkaline glands in the duodenum). On the way through the body to those glands, most of it gets used up by neutralizing acid residues stored in the connective tissue organ, including the muscles.
If there are not enough bases left over after the ingestion of an acidic meal or enough bases to neutralize and clear the acids stored in the connective tissues, a relative base deficiency develops, the latent tissue "acidosis", and the salivary glands, pylorus glands, liver and pancreas do not end up with enough alkaline sodium bicarbonate juices to ensure proper alkalization of the food and drink ingested.
Alkalization of the food and drink ingested cannot proceed without enough of these alkaline sodium bicarbonate juices from the salivary glands, pylorus glands, duodeum glands, liver, pancreas, intestines, etc., so the stomach has to produce more acid, in order to make enough sodium bicarbonate base, leading to ad nauseum, of which one can develop stomach ulcers and eventual stomach cancer. The ulcer or cancerous of sclerosis condition is not the result of too much acid, on the contrary, it is the result of too little alkaline sodium bicarbonate base to neutralize the acidic poisonous waste products from dietary and lifestyle choices!
The 'excess' acid in the gastric pits of the stomach is there as a toxic byproduct of sodium bicarbonte production, as the organism has to generate it so more sodium bicarbonate can be made to satisfy the needs of the salivary glands, pylorus glands, duodeum glands, intestinal glands, liver and pancreas and prevent the compromise of the alkaline design of the blood and tissues.
THE NEW BIOLOGY (R)
If alkaline minerals are lost because they are excreted with the excess acids from animal protein and excess sugars consumed, it will be important to cut down on such consumption of animal protein and sugars and replace or supplement the alkaline mineral salts lost through urination, defecation. perspiration and respiration.
These lost base minerals salts can be replaced with alkaline green fruit, alkaline green vegetables, alkaline mineral salt supplementation, long-chain polyunsaturated oils, and good clean alkaline water at a pH of 9.5. I strongly recommend infesting alkaline green fruit, vegetables, mineral salts and attend to your alkaline water everyday to prevent ALL sickness and disease, including ALS! Alkaline minerals from plants, organic minerals and ionized minerals contained in fresh/clean ionized alkaline water are the very best ones the body can use.Sodium from a plant for example, is much different from the sodium from table salt. You can eat all the processed table salt you want and the cells themselves can still be sodium or base deficient. The sodium used for building cells has to be organic, from green plants or from a source such as the colloidal mineral salts from the North Shore of the Great Salt Lake. Salt is the main base mineral in our body for transporting electrons, for energy to the cells and building alkaline mineral compounds such as sodium bicarbonate or magnesium, potassium and calcium.
We simply do not eat enough green electron rich alkaline fruit and vegetables to compensate for the alkaline minerals lost, because of our "rich", fast-life acidic diet and lifestyles. If we are base deficient and most of us are, than our whole body is in a relatively acid condition. That is all there is to it! We are not acidotic as they say in a hospital, when things have gone so bad that the blood pH itself begins to change, Code Blue. Rather, we are full of stored acid residues, residues stored in the Pishinger space waiting for a ride out of the body on base minerals, like sodium bicarbonate that are not present. This is "latent tissue acidosis". This is what causes in ALS the muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body caused by tissue acidosis degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. Unable to function, the muscles weaken and atrophy, all from 'latent tissue acidosis'. Individuals affected by this acidotic disorder may ultimately lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement, although bladder and bowel sphincters and the muscles responsible for eye movement are usually, but not always, spared until the terminal stages of the disease.
The first stage acidic symptoms of ALS are typically obvious weakness and/or muscle atrophy, as the blood pushes out more and more acids. Other presenting symptomologies include muscle fasciculation (twitching), cramping, or stiffness of affected muscles; muscle weakness affecting an arm or a leg; and/or slurred and nasal speech. The parts of the body affected by early acidic symptoms of ALS depend on which motor neurons in the body are damaged first by dietary and/or metabolic acids. About 75% of people with this acidotic die-ease experience "limb onset" ALS, i.e., first symptoms in the arms or legs. Patients with the leg onset form may experience awkwardness when walking or running or notice that they are tripping or stumbling, often with a "dropped foot" which drags gently along the ground. Arm-onset patients may experience difficulty with tasks requiring manual dexterity such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock. Occasionally, the 'latent tissue acidosis' symptoms remain confined to one limb for a long period of time or for the whole length of the condition. About 25% of cases are "bulbar onset" ALS. These patients first notice difficulty speaking clearly or swallowing. Speech may become slurred, nasal in character, or quieter. Other symptomologies include difficulty swallowing and loss of tongue mobility. A smaller proportion of patients experience "respiratory onset" ALS, where the intercostal muscles that support breathing are affected first. A small proportion of patients may also present with what appears to be frontotemporal dementia, but later progresses to include more typical ALS symptoms.
Over time as acids buildup in the tissues, patients experience increasing difficulty moving, swallowing (dysphagia), and speaking or forming words (dysarthria). Symptoms of upper motor neuron involvement include tight and stiff muscles (spasticity) and exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia) including an overactive gag reflex. An abnormal reflex commonly called Babinski's sign also indicates upper motor neuron damage. Symptoms of acidotic lower motor neuron degeneration include muscle weakness and atrophy, muscle cramps, and fleeting twitches of muscles that can be seen under the skin (fasciculations). Around 15–45% of patients experience pseudobulbar affect, also known as "emotional lability", which consists of uncontrollable laughter, crying or smiling, attributable to degeneration of bulbar upper motor neurons resulting in exaggeration of motor expressions of emotion. All of these sympotmologies of ALS have only one cause - 'latent tissue acdosis' or the body's inability to buffer or neutralize dietary, metabolic, respiratory, and environmental acids and eliminate those acidic poisonous waste products via the four channels of elimination.
General Results of a Base Sodium Bicarbonate Deficiency That Leads To ALS
1.Tissue acidosis leads to the pleomorphic or evolutionary changes in the blood and body cells. Whenever there is organized matter in nature that is dying or beginning to decay bacteria, yeast and then mold is born. As the human body ages, becoming acidic and toxic, aging body and blood cells will evolve into bacteria, then yeast and finally mold. In other words, the living indestructible anatomical elements that make up blood and tissues cells change form and stick together becoming a new form of bacteria, yeast and so on. This is how microorganisms are born. They are born in us and from us. These new biological forms called mircoorganisms are not bad - they are the evidence of the evolution or change of matter due to a pH change in the alkaline environment of the body.
2.Sodium becomes deficient first from the blood serum (most of the sodium in the body is in the serum whereas the potassium is inside the cells). The acids and even excess protein itself can be, as one of the last resorts, stored in the cells themselves. This causes the cells to swell and edema develops. Of course, one is already symptomatic by this time. The cells swell (edema) in order to dilute the metabolic acids in them, the acidic wastes that shouldn't be there. High blood pressure to cerebral edema to the destruction of motor nuerons in ALS can develop because of this acidic waste retention.
3.Potassium leaves the cells to buffer acidic wastes and muscle weakness, tiredness, and wasting develops. Low blood pressure can be a result of this.
4.Calcium leaves the bones, causing osteoporosis or bone loss. The bone calcium goes into the blood and this may cause muscle cramps. The blood has to get rid of the "extra" calcium very quickly or one develops tetany. Tetany is a Charley Horse-type cramp, of every muscle in the body. The body does not deal well with calcium in the blood. It gets rid of it by depositing it in the tissues or excreting it. So why should we "mess around" with calcium? It should only be used, as a medicine, in a hospital. All the organic, good calcium that our bodies can use is contained in the electron rich alkaline fruit and vegetables, especially the dark, green leafy ones. We do not need milk and we do not need extra calcium supplements. The body produces the calcium it needs from blood plasma ionic sodium. The formula for the creation of calcium is as follows: Na + H <=> Mg + O <=> Ca.
There are many studies from around the world that show that the more animal protein and eggs a society consumes, the more muscle wasting and osteoporosis that society develops. Osteoporosis and muscle wasting is definitely an acid caused disease. The body's store of calcium is leached out of the bones by these dietary and/or metabolic acids to protect the delicate alkaline pH of the blood and tissues. When this leaching process continue and there is NOT enough base minerals than and only than are motor neurons affected in the condition of ALS.
This calcium has to be excreted by the kidneys or in the feces; otherwise it will be deposited somewhere in the glands or organs. It can be deposited in the lining of the arteries, kidney, breast, brain, thyroid or gallbladder and this is how brain, breast, blood, liver, gall and kidney stones can develop.
Calcium chelated metabolic acids or stones can be deposited in the brain causing dementia or arthritic deposits form, on and on...and then the microbes come out of the acidic, hurt, swollen cells to help get rid of the deposits. Inflammation develops, pain, more swelling, edema, muscle tone and strength is lost and blocked arteries. The amount of calcification of the body also correlates directly with the onset of 'old age'. I have said that you do not get old you mold and turn sour.
The blood and everything outside of the bones is already full of leached out calcium, because of the acidic condition produced by the base sodium bicarboante deficiency. If you take extra calcium by mouth, where does it go? It does not go into the bones. It goes to chelate acid.
IN SUMMARY: CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DIS-EASES SUCH AS ALS IS CAUSED BY THE BUILD-UP OF DIETARY and METABOLIC ACIDS FROM ACIDIC LIFESTYLE AND DIETARYCHOICES
1) The condition of "latent tissue acidosis" is not acknowl edged by current medical scientists. If the above nonspecific symptoms are not recognized and dealt with for what they are, then, SPECIFIC ACIDIC DISEASES will develop. ALS is one of those specific acidic dis-eases!
2) The above GENERIC SYMPTOMS 'localize' in the weakess parts of the body, the locus minoris resistentiae, and frank organ degeneration begins to take place.
3) ALS IS CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DIS-EASE caused by tissue build-up of dietary and metabolic acidic waste products. The build-up before the expression of the dis-ease condition I call 'latent tissue acidosis'.
4) This acid "localization in the body's place of least resistance" can take the form of any of the SPECIFIC, NAMED, CHRONIC, DEGENERATIVE, DIS-EASE. CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASE IS WHOLISTIC: ACIDIC WASTE PRODUCTS AFFECTS THE WHOLE BODY.
5) To prevent or reverse chronic degenerative dis-ease, such as ALS one must restore the basic nature and design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle an diet!
