Health #210- Unlocking the Bodys Messages: Face, Tongue, and Finger Nail Analysis with Kelby Smith, and Naturopathic Doctor Randi Shannon

Having had Lyme for 30+ years and beating it with herbs, I totally agree with natural everything.  I learned from the experience that sugar and grains will kill you faster than most things you eat, and keto is definitely an influence in the way I eat now, and yes full fat and NO doctors...Pass the bacon please...

Good Foods- Eat these

Naturopathic Doctor Randi Shannon

Eggs – Eggs should be the staple of your diet. They are considered by many as a superfood. Not only do they contain vital cholesterol that your brain, nerves, and hormones need to function but they also contain a whole slew of proteins, EFA’s, vitamins and minerals that help your body function. Dr. Wallach recommends 8-12 eggs a day (for Alzheimer’s and other Dementias it is recommended you eat 10+ eggs a day to feed your brain the cholesterol it needs to function). Do not overcook eggs, soft scramble them in butter and salt, soft boil them, poach them, or eat them raw in a smoothie. Note that there is a chance to get salmonella from the outside shell of the egg that was exposed to the cloaca of the chicken. Dr. Glidden recommends that if you are going to eat raw eggs to put a teaspoon of bleach into a quart of water and put the eggs into the solution, then dry them off and they are ready to use. The bleach will kill off any micro organisms on the outside of the shell. If you hard boil an egg and the yolk has a greenish coating, this means that the cholesterol has been degraded, so it is best to soft boil eggs. If you are allergic to chicken eggs then you can try goose, duck, or quail eggs.

Butter -From a nice clean grass fed pasture raised cow is great

Iodized Salt – Your body needs salt to create stomach acid. If you are on a salt restricted diet you will not be able to create stomach acid causing acid reflux/heartburn. So use as much salt as you want and salt your food to taste.  Personally I love pink Himalayan salts or Celtic Salt.  Do NOT get processed salts.  I’m not in love w/Mortons.

Dairy – Full fat whole milk only.  No skim, 1, or 2 percent milk.

Meat, Poultry, Fish ie;  chicken, pork, lamb

Beef – Rare or medium-rare only is best. Make sure there are no grill or char marks on your meat. Burnt is carcinogenic ie; cancer.  Can use a pressure cooker or crockpot.

Vegetables – Eat all the veggies you want.  Do not stir fry your vegetables(see fried foods below). Organically grown produce is not nutritionally better than conventionally grown. If you look at the requirements for produce to be labeled by the USDA as organic, you will be surprised to find that the produce must be grown from soil that has not had prohibited substances applied to it for only 3 years. So a field could have been sprayed with prohibited substances for 50 years but if they stop spraying it for three years with prohibited substances then it can be certified organic. Back in 1936 it was brought to our government’s attention that our soils were horribly depleted through US Senate Document #264. So no matter what you eat, organic or conventional, it is impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs every day from the food you eat.

Fruit - Eat all the fruits you want.

Nuts – Salted or mixed nuts are okay. But because most peanuts are contaminated with fungus it is recommended you don’t eat them. Do not eat nuts that have been processed on the same machines as wheat.

Nut Butters – Nut butters are fine to eat as long as they have no extra sugar or oils. You can make your own oil and sugar free with a powerful blender.

Rice -- All rice’s are good.  Make sure it is clean and organic.

Millet

Pure Buckwheat – It isn’t wheat, so it’s good.

Beans

Couscous – Made from pearl millet only.

Quinoa

Corn – Corn is one of the foods we suggest buying organic because most conventional corn is genetically modified which can hurt your digestive tract.

Coffee

Tea & Green Tea

Red Wine

Filtered Water – Four to eight 8 oz. glasses of water daily.  Avoid soft plastic bottles and BPA is in all plastic-EVEN if it says it’s BPA Free, it’s not!   Avoid drinking tap water since most cities fluoridate their water. Fluoride has been proven to reduce your IQ, motivation, and creativity.  Recently even Harvard University released a study linking fluoride to “significantly lower” IQ scores. Do not drink any alkaline water just before or while eating since it neutralizes your stomach acid like carbonated drinks which prevents digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Lard

*Hyperthyroidism – If you suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) you need to eat cruciferous vegetables because they will suppress and reduce thyroid function.  Some more common examples of cruciferous vegetables are: horseradish, kale, collard greens, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, mustard seed, arugula, watercress, radish, and wasabi.

Bad Food List-Do NOT Eat These

Randi Shannon ND

Wheat/Barley/Rye/Oats/Oatmeal –These have gluten AND gliadin-both very bad

The grains we eat today have been altered to withstand weather, insects, and weed killers resulting in a gluten protein that our stomachs just cannot break down. When the gluten travels through our intestinal tract undigested, it destroys the villi and micro villi that are meant to absorb the nutrients from our foods. This leads to digestive, chronic health problems, and diseases. This includes some alcoholic beverages.  Naturopathic Doctor Randi Shannon says to avoid these grains even if it states on the package that they are gluten free.

Fried Food – When you fry foods or overheat them it produces acrylamides and free radicals. These carcinogens can lead to inflammation in your digestive track and arteries, oxidation damage to your nerves and soft tissues, and cause certain cancers. This includes stir fry.

Oils – Cooking oils, olive oil, even coconut oil oxidize when oxygen comes in contact with it. When you eat oxidized oil it causes inflammation, oxidation damage, and destroys tissues in your body. This includes mayonnaise, salad dressings, fish packed in oils, and any food in oil. In nature there is no cooking oil tree, and no spigot at the base of an olive tree to get oil from. So our bodies were just not designed to eat mass quantities of oils like we do today.

Well Done Meat (Rare or Medium Rare is ok) – Carcinogenic heterocyclic amines are created by high temperature cooking of meat. Make sure when cooking on a barbecue that you do not let the flames touch the meat, or let the juices from the meat hit the charcoal and coat it with burnt smoke. Dr. Wallach says that “Heterocyclic amines are the most egregious cancer causing substances on earth.”

Deli Meats/Cold Cuts – Most deli meats, hot dogs, and bacon have nitrates and nitrites in them as preservatives. Nitrites and nitrates cause inflammation, tissue destruction, oxidation, and free radical damage. If you can get nitrate/nitrite free deli meats, then you are okay to consume them.

Carbonated Beverages – Carbonated beverages neutralize your stomach acid and reduce your ability to digest and absorb the nutrients from your food and supplements. Phosphoric acid is especially bad for you, and will rob calcium from your bones.  New study stated they cut your life in half!

Potato/Yam/Sweet Potato Skins – The skin is okay to eat only after you boil it.

Phytates – Phytic acid is most commonly found in beans, seeds, and some nuts. It will bind to minerals in your foods or supplements causing them not to be absorbed by your body. To avoid this make sure you take your minerals two to three hours before or after you consume a meal with Phytates.Some examples of phytates are: linseeds, sesame seeds, almonds, brazil nuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, corn, brown rice, polished rice, pinto beans, chickpeas, hummus, lentils, soybeans, tofu, and spinach.

Hypothyroidism – If you suffer from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) you need to avoid eating cruciferous vegetables because they will suppress and reduce thyroid function.Some more common examples of cruciferous vegetables are: horseradish, kale, collard greens, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, mustard seed, arugula, watercress, radish, and wasabi.

Additional Bad Food List For Diabetics

Make sure to keep measuring your blood sugar levels just like you did before starting 90 for life. Then when your sugar levels begin to drop, go back to your doctor and have them reduce your medications appropriately until you are prescription and drug free.

On top of eliminating the 10 Bad Foods above, it is advised to eliminate the following foods from your diet as well until you get your blood sugar levels normalized for a month without the help of prescription drugs.

Fruit Juice-Usually full of preservatives-make sure clean and 100% actual juice

Dried Fruit (most times very processed)

Honey (unless from a clean source)

Agave Syrup Maple Syrup (100% grade A organic is acceptable) Molasses

Alcohol (Most are made from wheat/barley/rye)

Gluten Free Grains Corn
