Yesterday I met a young lady who epitomizes the raging epidemic of poor
health that we are seeing in most people less than 35 years of age. She is
in her early 20’s, but looked well into her 30’s. Her naturally beautiful
features were dulled and disguised by depleted energy. There was none of the
radiance usually observed in a healthy person of her youth. She spoke of
having very serious health issues, including a degenerative disease of her
eyes that is beginning to rob her of her sight.
She had expressed an interest in LifeWave Energy Patches, so I
muscle-tested her to determine the best patch placement. From doing this I
learned that she was surprisingly weak and non-responsive for a person her
size and age. Although the patches did make a small improvement in her
strength, it was so inconsequential that I recommended against them for her.
She simply was not healthy enough to notably benefit from them.
I questioned her about her diet. It seems that she has survived for her
entire life on highly acid junk-type foods. When I spoke with her about
adding vegetables and fruits to her diet, her responses indicated a mixture
of confusion and disgust. The suggestion of eating a fresh leafy green salad
prompted a sour facial expression. This poor soul has obviously been
deprived of the type of parental guidance that would have instilled a love
of health-supporting, nutrition-rich foods. The synaptic patterns in her
brain didn’t even seem to recognize spinach and lettuce as viable foods.
Unless she can drastically change her mind about health and eating, it is
unlikely that she will be functional – or even alive – much longer. Meeting
her brought two clear realizations to my mind:
- I realized how grateful I am to my mother and father for insisting
that I eat what they considered to be a balanced diet. Looking back, we ate
too much high protein food, but having fresh salads and cooked vegetables
with every meal, and not getting any more of the “ yummy” foods until I ate
my vegetables created an ultimate love for the kinds of foods that support
health.
- I also realized how totally inadequate most young parents are at even
knowing nutrition, let alone teaching it to their children. I am mortified
to see parents feeding their child a meal of macaroni and cheese and a glass
of milk. This is pure acid of the worst kind. Their rationale is usually “ I
just can’t get them to eat anything else.” My question is “How did they
learn to eat macaroni and cheese in the first place?” Had they always had
meals with green beans, zucchini squash, celery, spinach, properly prepared,
and being eaten by every member of the family, guess what? You wouldn’t be
able to get them to eat anything else.
This is such an important part of the health of our world that I am going
to be brutally honest about my opinions here.
- If you are teaching your child bad nutritional habits, then you are an
inadequate parent. It is your responsibility to change, learn what is best
for your family, and then do it. If you do not, your children will more than
likely suffer the results until they die.
- If you were taught bad nutritional habits by your parents, get over
it! Take responsibility to learn what is best for you and your family, and
then do it. New habits may be difficult to develop, but it is well worth it
for everyone.
If my opinions made you angry, then this is obviously a "sore spot"
caused by the truth coming out. I hope that your anger becomes motivation
to learn about health and nutritional reality, and that your family and you
prove me totally wrong by living long, pleasant and productive lives.
