Be Your Own Doctor!

 I know that I have written and spoken about this before.  BUT, it’s been awhile, and it needs repeating since it is usually ignored: MOST of what you get from the standard medical clinics and doctors is untrue.  MOST!

The information they give you is self-serving, and mostly misleading.

For instance, I was having a conversation today about kidney stones.  

‘What causes them,’ I was asked.  

‘Oxalates from things like kale, spinach, and beet greens” I answered, since I KNOW.  Especially when concentrated in things such as green smoothies.

So then, I decided to look it up, as if I was someone who did not know.  Someone with confidence in the standard medical paradigm of clinic and MD.  

I read that animal protein and salt create kidney stones.  (WRONG)

Vitamin C causes kidney stones. (WRONG)

Then, I saw online that “global warming causes kidney stones”.  Climate Change and the Kidney

Do I even need to say that this is wrong, and stupid, and actually retarded??

This is the politically correct  nonsense that our standard medical practice has devolved to.  

Here is what you need to know about kidney stones:

They are made up of oxalates, which are a plants defense mechanism against being consumed by mammals.  Chemical warfare, really: ‘eat me, human, and suffer pain!’  

Conclusion?  Don’t eat lots of dark green vegetables; they don’t want to be eaten, and are fighting back!  Occasional spinach or kale, your body can probably defend against adequately.   Green smoothies of such, especially beet greens ( in my case) and you will get kidney stones.  And it has nothing to do with animal protein (which is benign), or global warming (which is a political scam) at all.  

It’s simple biology.  As is all of medical science.  REAL medical science!

Most of clinical medicine today is 1970’s science, pure and simple.  Outdated ideas, reiterated over and over for many decades.  Wrong then, wrong now.

But gospel regardless- because there is a huge financial incentive to keep the charade up and running.

‘Cholesterol is very important to track and medicate’.  (An outdated lie)

‘Blood pressure, whatever the age, should be 120 over 80 or else heavy medication is necessary to prevent death’.  (Another extreme lie to sell blood pressure medications, that don’t extend life for one single day).

‘Kidney stones are caused by global warming’.  (Do I even need to comment again??)

This is what has become of Western medicine.  They are still good at civil war type of triage medicine, which is keeping you alive after a gunshot or an automobile accident with major trauma.  (This is what modern medicine evolved from during the civil war, and which they are still very good at).

But as for keeping you well, and disease free?  

They are now just profit-based witch doctors, overall.

You need to be your own doctor!  You really do.  Most modern doctors will sabotage your health, because profit is the reason for being of their clinic, not health or anything that you desire!

This is the sad truth, and it is a real TRUTH!  It’s all about the money.  This is what has happened to our country while we were not paying attention.  

Covid was all about money.  (Not the real disease- it was political, and manipulated via media to manipulate all of US.)

And so are most standard diseases as well!

Cholesterol causes heart disease!  (No, it’s high blood sugar)

Statins can save us all! (No, it is a largely meaningless measurement, and actually a good indicator among older folks).

And so it goes.  Most of modern medicine addressing health is a total scam.  A way to sell various pills and potions that have no positive effect on health at all, but do create a market for eternal customers:

Diabetes customers, who are lifelong.  Lots of carbs (sugars) are recommended to them all!  Ideal customers for pharmaceuticals!

Heart disease customers: Statins and blood pressure medications- NEITHER of which are shown to extend life at ALL!

Low Fat Diets!  No positive results at all, since the 1970’s!  And it increases cancer deaths too!

This is all just a brief introduction to the scam of modern medicine!  Subscribe to me here, and to similar blogs to bypass the misinformation.  Above all, rely upon yourself!  Your own research, not that of the standard medical misinformation.  It is almost entirely nonsense, and self-serving.

You can do it- BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR!!

With the internet, you are empowered.  You can find out way, way more than your unmotivated doctor could ever do.  Remember above all:

He doesn’t give a damn, except for his profit.

Undoctored podcast episode on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe

Dr. William Davis has introduced a new course on his website www.wheatbelly.com   He is calling it undoctored, which I believe is a brilliant  name for what he is stating- which is that modern medical clinics and most doctors have given up on actually healing, and have now instead concentrated on selling!

Selling us all surgeries and other procedures, along with loads of tests and drugs.  All are mainly done for sheer PROFIT.  The amount of money spent in the US on drugs alone is staggering, and the ability these drugs have to heal us, to make us health - is zero!  They may mask the symptoms, but without real lifestyle changes such as those I recommend here, the body will be unable to heal itself…

For make no mistake: only your own body can repair itself- no drugs or surgeries can do what your own body is capable of- for free.

It really is that simple.  One of the best things you can do is to stay away from the medical doctor’s office.  As I have long said, be your own doctor.  Read up on ancestral, paleo ways of living, eating, and exercising.  Banish wheat and most grains entirely from your diet, and sharply limit sugars and carbohydrates.

Replace those fake foods with lots and lots of vegetables, along with some fruits.  A smoothie each morning is probably the ideal way to do this last, and it makes the process easy and enjoyable.  Pack that smoothie with as much good stuff as you can- follow my recipe at www.paleojay.com or else get the ebook Perfectly Paleo Exercise.

If you go to the medical clinic, I guarantee that you will be given powerful prescription medications, whether you have symptoms or not.  These clinics and hospitals have transformed over the past several decades, without most people noticing, from places of simple healing with common sense and uncomplicated tools, into hyper-huge and powerful bureaucracies, intent on generating the maximum revenue and profit.  The bottom line, not the healed and happy patient!

These Patient Mills are places to avoid as much as possible.  Just as you don’t go to a greasy used car salesman on a regular basis, looking for “deals”- don’t go into the clinic when you feel good, just because they want you to.  They find it in their interest to make staying healthy complicated and mysterious.  It’s NOT!  Staying healthy was very well known how to do in earlier times, and if our great grandparents could do it, why can’t we?  They didn’t load themselves up with drugs and surgeries, both of which were unavailable.

They ate the best foods they could find, real foods, prepared in their home, not in factories.  They lived lives of physical labor, that kept them fit, and slept long hours each night.  Most lived in small towns, with a close-knit “tribal” kind of connection, and went to church each week.  Most folks in America prayed, which is really a form of meditation.  It’s really only recently that we’ve gotten so far off track in our notions of health, but we’ve gotten so far off track that it is vital to turn your ship around, now.

So, become Undoctored!  Listen to paleo podcasts, read books about the subject, and most importantly walk the walk.  Once you understand that your health is your own responsibility, you have taken the first step on the wonderful journey of looking great, and feeling even better.

Undoctored

Undoctored by William Davis of Wheat Belly fame

I want you all to watch this video, which is what I have been preaching for years!  Be your own doctor- it is so important- they are as mercenary (medical clinics) as any used car salesman.  Buyer beware...

Be your OWN DOCTOR!  And Dentist!!

Your health, and that of your family, depends upon it.

PJSC podcast #121- ALL modern disease is from a handful of causes!

We are at a watershed moment in America, both in terms of our country and it’s precarious position (which is what most people are fixated on, besides their own bank accounts and the precariousness there!), but even more importantly in terms of the very health of our people.
These same people are comforted, liking to say the “We have the best health system in the world!”
But, they are wrong- we have the best disease system in the world.  Our medical clinics have made a lucrative science out of managing disease, not curing it.  You can go to any medical clinic in this country, and they will treat the symptoms of your disease, and make no attempt to actually find the cause.  If you are very lucky, you will be given a 5 minute lecture telling you to “eat right, and exercise”, but there will be no particulars just how you are supposed to do that, and that will be the end of it, along with your latest prescription.
50% of all American adults has one or more chronic health conditions, and 25% have two or more.  Heart disease and cancer are the big two causes of death, and no medical center is really trying to cure them. Just manage the symptoms!
In functional medicine, there are just a few pathologies that underlie ALL chronic disease:
1. A messed up gut, with a poor micro biome
2. Insufficient nutrition, from modern processed food crap food
3. Heavy metal and pesticide toxicity
4. Undetected underlying infection, from dental bacteria, and tick borne infections
5. Chronic system inflammation, which causes a breakdown in the immune system

The thing a functional medical clinic will do is to deal with those pathologies, no matter what your modern disease.  They all stem from the same root causes:
1. Poor diet, without nearly enough natural, nutrient rich foods, poor lifestyle, with lots of stress and little to no proper exercise
2. Exposure to environmental toxins both by our city processed chemical and pesticide laden water, to non-organic fruits and vegetables, also loaded with pesticides, and glyphosate from our “immaculate” lawns and farm fields
3. Conventional medicines total disregard of these factors, making diagnosis and a real cure impossible

For now, you have to do it yourself!  Try to eat really, really well- a Paleo Smoothie each day is a wonderful start!  Oh, I can’t call it a Green Smoothie anymore, since now my favorite variation is RED- I add in a beet!  Vastly amped up nutrition, and I can tell you that beets in your smoothie will lower your blood pressure- guaranteed!
Besides eating well, you need to exercise in a natural, paleo manner, and attempt to lower your exposure to toxic chemicals as much as possible, by installing a vitamin C shower filter to block chlorasamines and chorine from being inhaled as you shower, and filtering your water if it is city water.  Do not use commercial toothpastes, makeup, lotions, shampoos or soaps; they are none of them natural anymore, and are slowly poisoning you.  And do NOT use Roundup or similar glyphosate poisons on your lawn- it is pure, unadulterated poison infecting both you, and especially your children.
There is, however, a glimmer of hope for modern medical clinics: the Cleveland Clinic had launched a Center for Functional Medicine, run by Dr. Mark Hyman, who is a functional medical doctor of the highest order!  So, there is hope glimmering in the future.  Think how much insurance companies would save long term, if they spent more on testing and diagnosing a disease upfront, rather than spending thousands and thousands over the long-term managing just the symptoms?
And, for another glimpse of hope, you can always get my new real, actual, paperback book from Amazon.com called PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe!  Here is the link to click on:
http://www.amazon.com/PaleoJays-Smoothie-Cafe-Natural-Fitness/dp/1515034283/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453589266&sr=8-2&keywords=paleojay%27s+smoothie+cafe

There is, of course, still the ebook version as well, but the paperback is just so, well, COOL!
So, things are starting to change.  Stay upbeat, spend time with family and friends, and spend a LOT of time outdoors!  Cook at home with real ingredients (no processed products), and drink a smoothie daily!  Now, you probably won’t even NEED a medical clinic!
