"Scott Olsen returned relatively unscathed to America last year after serving two tours of Iraq fighting a war he was opposed to. Now he lays in an Oakland, CA hospital in critical condition thanks to a projectile fired last night by police."

ALL movements are always propelled by some vested interest. For example, People Power 1 is not a "pedigreed" movement that is spontaneous, notwithstanding the historical revisionism. It was a simple power grab by people who felt that their plot to take over government had been discovered and they wanted the help of the people to react whatever countermeasures are being taken against THEIR interests. In short, Ramos, Enrile, Honasan et. al. were engaged in a coup and were only saving their skins, with a little help from the people.

The Tea Party movement is a largely republican movement that sees government as a problem while the Occupy Wall Street might be a democratic counter-movement that seeds government as part of the solution.

The point, to make a short story long (or is it to make a long story short?) is that People Power, Tea Party or OWS, these movements are propelled initially by narrow interests but supported by general dissatisfaction with the powers that be. Hence, to ascribe a purer pedigree to one or another is, to me (my opinion, as a watcher of political developments), missing the forest for the trees and detracts from the object of the focus of such movements as they developed into more popular movements from their narrow-interest beginnings.

Just in passing. I cannot help but be suspicious of so-called movements. Like any "good revolution" (and just like any "good crisis"), Occupy Wall Street seems to have been hatched in a small room by politically motivated people.

The clue is in the acronym. OWS. Why not PAWS as in Protest Against Wall Street. "Get your PAWS off our lives" has a nice ring to it. It seems OWS expressly starts with "O" as in Obama.

This calls to mind NAMFREL, which stands for National Movement for Free Election, but any conspiracy theorist (who isn't?) can see NAM stood for Ninoy Aquino Movement.

And why "Occupy?" The Tea Party Movement has a better pedigree. Just like the original in Boston, the contemporary one stemmed from dissatisfaction with too much government. Get the government off our lives. To occupy is not only to set aside any social contract, but also to assert a sense of entitlement, both undue and unearned.

Revolutions are either for better or for worse. My indifference is based on the suspect manipulation of current events.

1. Protein and carbohydrate concentrated foods
Breakdown of protein requires an acid medium, and digestion of protein dense animal products requires high levels of hydrochloric acid. Since digestion of carbohydrate dense foods requires an alkaline medium in order to be broken down, high carbohydrate foods that have been mixed with high protein foods will not digest but will sit there fermenting, producing indigestion, bloating and gas. And since this fermentation of carbohydrates will inhibit the digestion of the protein, more gas, bloating and discomfort will be produced. This makes the typical American meal, composed of a large hunk of meat along with potatoes and bread, a recipe for digestive disaster.

Most protein foods are best digested when accompanied by a fresh green salad. Other concentrated protein foods like nuts and seeds combine well with acid fruits such as oranges, pineapples blackberries, or strawberries. They also work fairly well with sub-acid fruits such as apples, cherries, mangos, or peaches. The vitamin C in these fruits aids digestion of the mixture.

2. Eating two concentrated proteins together
Each type of protein requires a specific character, strength and timing of digestive juice secretions. This means that no two types of concentrated protein should be consumed together at a meal. Nuts, meat, eggs, cheese, or other protein foods should not be eaten together. And no two types of animal protein should be eaten together, a rule that may be hard to swallow by the surf and turf crowd.

3. Protein and fats
Fats inhibit the secretion of gastric juices needed to digest meat, fish, dairy products, nuts, and eggs by as much as fifty percent. When fat concentrated foods are eaten with protein concentrated foods, the digestive breakdown of the fats is delayed until gastric juices complete their work on the complex proteins. This means fats will remain undigested in the stomach for a long period of time. Although some high protein foods also contain high amounts of fat, these fats will be held in suspension awaiting breakdown without impeding gastric action. However, free fats such as oil, butter and milk fat will coat the gastric mucosa, inhibiting gastric juice. This is why fried chicken is so hard to digest.

4. Acid fruits with carbohydrates
The enzyme in saliva that begins the breakdown of starch concentrated foods in the mouth does the important job of converting complex starch molecules
into more simple sugars. In order to work, the enzyme requires a neutral or slightly alkaline medium, the natural condition found in the mouth. When acid foods are eaten, the action of the enzyme needed to break down starch is halted because the medium needed has been altered. Thus acid fruits should not be eaten at the same meal as sweet fruits or other starches. This combination is what makes spaghetti and other dishes combining tomatoes with starch so
bloating.

5. Acid fruits with protein
Oranges, tomatoes, lemons, pineapples and other acid fruits can be easily digested and produce no distress when eaten away from starchy and protein
foods. However, when included in a meal that contains a protein concentrated food, the acid fruits seriously hamper protein digestion. This is in part what
makes the typical American breakfast of orange juice, bacon, eggs and toast such a digestive nightmare

6. Starch and sugar
Eating starches that have been disguised as sweets is not a good way to eat starch. Although the “treat†produces an abundance of saliva, the saliva contains none of the enzyme needed to digest the starch because the sugar has turned the environment acidic. This is why such items as fruit filled Danish settle on the digestive tract like a sack of bricks. The carbohydrates are fermenting in the body, producing noxious gases.

7. Consuming melons
Melons should not be consumed with any other foods. Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and the more exotic melons should always be eaten away from mealtime and alone. Melons are meant to decompose quickly in the digestive system, which is what they will do if there is no interfering with the process.

8. Consuming milk
Milk is best left to babies who traditionally consume it alone, away from other foods. Milk does not digest in the stomach, but in the duodenum, so the presence of milk in the stomach does not promote secretion of gastric juice. The use of acid fruits with milk does not cause any digestive difficulty, although the benefits of the antioxidant potential of the fruits may be lost due to the affinity they have for the protein in milk.

Our medical history

Gallstones

Some years ago, my wife had her gallstones removed via laparoscopy. The condition can be attributed to poor digestion.

Acid or esophageal reflux, gas, bloating, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, hypertension, severe loss of weight, no appetite

Some years later, my wife suffered two episodes of TB and endometrial cancer in-between so we feared the worst when she dropped her weight from 126 lbs. to 99 lbs. in 3 months. She lost her appetite, had difficulty swallowing food and at times had difficulty breathing. Her BP would shoot up completely debilitating her; she could hardly do her housework. She also had continual gas, bloating and diarrhea.

On doctor’s examination, she was diagnosed to have acid reflux. Acid from her stomach would flux back to her esophagus and cause it to swell. The swelled esophagus in turn pressed on her heart causing her hypertension and difficulty breathing. We actually had to rush to hospital a few times.

She was prescribed antacids and Hytaz for her hypertension. X-rays also revealed that she had diverticulitis. After two different expensive antacids, the second one was prescribed after the first turned out ineffective and dieting, her condition abated and she slowly regained her weight. We thought she was cured.

Osteopena

Not yet osteoporosis, but getting there, my wife was prescribed Evista for 5 years and Caltrate for life. If claims are true, these were unnecessary.

Gout

Since her twenties, she had had bouts with gout which is caused by too much uric acid in the blood that eventually coagulate into crystals in the joints. Again, the culprit can be argued to be poor digestion and assimilation of food.

Diverticulitis, abdominal pains

Just recently, her bloating, gas pains and diarrhea episodes that were recurrent became serious and prolonged. This was when we decided to obtain more info from the Web.

After learning about alkaline and acidic foods and food combining and changing her eating habits, accordingly, her condition began to improve within a few days. Still having slight discomfort and occasional stabs of pain in the abdomen, we reviewed her diet.

In the information provided, it is suggested that to maintain good health, our daily diet should consist of not less than 3 parts alkalizing foods to 2 parts acidic foods, but preferably with more of alkalizing foods. However, to effect a cure, the alkaline acid ratio should be 4 to 1.

So she stopped taking grains and flour -- rice and bread -- along with her meat, just like when in hospital, our diet is restricted until we are healed. Afterwards, we can resume eating within the recommended limits.

Latest news is that she continues to improve.

Constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids

In my youth, we would usually have two kinds of meat dishes and one vegetable during lunch and dinner. I gave no thought to eating a lot and eating everything all at the same time. I heard of alkaline and acidic foods but never gave it much thought or otherwise, piece it together. I always thought that occasional constipation, diarrhea and gas pains were normal.

Gout

My mother suffered from gout until she died at age 89. I thought I would have to endure the same. After 2 years or recurring gout attacks, I discovered that a daily maintenance dose of Allopurinol 100 mg. would make me gout-free. It’s been 3 years and more since then. But now, I am thinking that maybe, I can discontinue taking the drug and just take it when I feel an attack coming on.

Obesity

At one point, I had come to weigh 188 lbs. Fortunately, I was enjoined to take up a low carbo diet. I drastically reduced my intake of rice and breads while eating as much as I wanted of other foods. It proved effective with me dropping to 158 lbs. But I relaxed and gained back a few pounds, after.

Acid reflux, morning colds, sinus problems, sore throat, bronchitis

I stopped smoking over ten years ago but my colds, clogged nose, phlegm, sore throat and periodic bronchitis have persisted. I have always thought that all these were caused by my chain smoking. But now after more than 10 years having stopped the habit, I really don’t think that smoking is the cause. More probably, it is because of my acid reflux. Again, too much acid due to poor eating habits.

I would wake up from my afternoon nap nauseous, with heartburn and almost always tired. I began taking Tums over a month ago after my acid reflux became more severe. But relief is temporary and on and off. I am slowly adopting the proposed eating habits but I still have quite a-ways to go. Some symptoms, though, are no longer bothering me, as much.

Hemorrhoids

From excessive eating and in bad combination, I used to have to move twice a day. Often, I would have diarrhea. The result – hemorrhoids. I obtained some relief from Daflon, twice a day, as prescribed by my wife’s oncologist. It was only later that I found out Hemo Rid is the cheaper substitute. Same content, different manufacturer, only 45% cheaper. Hopefully in time, my veins can strengthen enough so I won’t need to take them, anymore.

All of the above are just my tentative findings. If you have any information that debunks the claims or simply shed more light on this subject, I would appreciate your letting me know.

We are still continuing to experiment but in our case, there have been marked improvements.

This paper has been especially sent to all fellow sufferers in the hope that the information detailed here will be of help to them.

Correct Eating Habits - Part I

We just need to change our poor eating habits

1.. First, identify the different food groups (mainly whether alkaline or acidic)
2.. Next, understand how the different foods are digested in the body
3.. Learn how to correctly combine the foods that we eat
4.. Space our eating of each different non-compatible food group to allow sufficient time for our body to sufficiently break down the food into its essential nutrients
5.. Learn how to balance the different food groups in our diet to ensure the right alkaline to acid ratio in our body

From: http://www.detoxifynow.com/Food_diet.html

TROPHOLOGY - THE SCIENCE OF FOOD COMBINING

It is an established scientific fact in Western medicine that in order to initiate efficient digestion of any concentrated animal protein, the stomach must secrete pepsin. But it is also a well-known fact that pepsin can function only in a highly acidic medium, which must be maintained for several hours for complete digestion of proteins.

It is an equally well established fact of science that when we chew a piece of bread or potato or any other carbohydrate/starch, ptyalin and other alkaline juices are immediately secreted into the food by the saliva in the mouth. When swallowed, the alkalized starches require an alkaline medium in the stomach in order to complete digestion.

Anyone should be able to figure out what therefore happens when you ingest protein and starch together. Acid and alkaline juices are secreted simultaneously in response to the incoming protein and starch, promptly neutralizing one another and leaving a weak, watery solution in the stomach that digests neither protein or starch properly. Instead proteins putrefy and starches ferment owing to the constant presence of bacteria in the digestive tract.

This putrefaction and fermentation are the primary cause of all sorts of digestive stress, including gas, heartburn, cramps, bloating, constipation, foul stools, bleeding piles, colitis, and so forth.

Many so called 'allergies' are also the direct result of improper food combinations; the bloodstream picks up toxins from the putrefied, fermented mess as it passes slowly through the intestines, and these toxins in turn cause rashes, hives, headaches, nausea and other symptoms commonly branded as allergies. The same foods that cause allergic reactions when improperly combines often have no ill side-effects whatsoever when consumed according to the rules of trophology. The final fact of the matter is this: when you immobilize your stomach and impair digestive functions by consuming foods in indiscriminate combination, the bacteria in your alimentary canal have a field day. They get all the nutrients and thrive, while you get all the wastes and suffer.

According to a recent survey in America, the average American male today carries about 5 pounds of undigested, putrefied red meat in his gut. Leave 5 pounds of meat in a dark, warm, moist place for a few days and see for yourself the results of putrefaction. The severely septic condition of the human intestinal tract is unique in nature, yet Western physicians take it for granted and even insist that it is harmless to the rest of the system.

In fact, in order to protect itself from the chronic toxic irritation of improperly combined meals, the colon secretes large quantities of mucus to entrap toxic particles before they damage the colon's sensitive lining. When this occurs at every meal, everyday, every week, throughout the year- as is quite typical in modern Western diets- the colon ends up secreting a constant stream of mucus, which accumulates and gets impacted in the folds of the colon. This results in a narrowing of the passage through the colon and a constant seeping of toxins into the bloodstream by osmosis. When the impacting of toxic mucus in the colon reaches critical pressure, it causes a pocket to balloon outward through the colon lining, causing a condition called diverticulosis. Colitis, IBS, and colon cancer are the next stages of colon deterioration caused by these conditions.

To neutralize acids, your body creates and pulls alkaline buffers from anywhere it can:

• It creates cholesterol to neutralize the acids (now you know why so many people suffer from high cholesterol problems)

• It bleaches iron from your red blood cells (can you see how anemia develops?),

• It pulls calcium from your bones (can you say osteoporosis?),

• It steals potassium from your muscle tissues (do you get muscle spasms?),

• It pulls zinc, magnesium, and other elements from everywhere else.

Simply put, food combining is a way of eating foods so that they do not work against each other and cause pain. Specific food groups, such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats, each require different digestion times and digestive enzymes, in order to be broken down and utilized by the body efficiently.

So you should only consume foods that have approximately the same digestion times and use the same or similar digestive agents to break them down.

For example, protein foods (meats) need a very acidic environment in order that they can be digested appropriately. Carbohydrates (starches and sugars), on the other hand, require a much more alkaline medium to digest, as do fats.

If you eat a meal that consists of meat, vegetables and a dessert, you have, in effect, neutralized your digestive system. In doing so, you have slowed the digestive process down to almost a complete stop.

But food combining is actually quite simple, because it categorizes all foods into three distinct types:

ï€ Type A foods are relatively neutral and pass through your stomach with little or no digestive enzymes required to break them down.

ï€ Type B foods require alkaline digestive enzymes to break down, beginning in the mouth with the enzyme ptyalin and continuing in the stomach and small intestine.

Type C foods require powerful acids to be broken down, namely hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach.

With proper food combining, you can still eat any type of food you wish either alone, or in compatible combinations so you can enjoy what you are eating, without any pain for discomfort.

To restore health, your diet should consist of 4 parts alkaline foods and just 1 part acidic. To maintain good health, your diet should be 3 parts alkaline to 1 part acidic

[image: image for MI6 Seize Copies of The Dorking Review]

It has been reported that Britain's spy service, better known as MI6 has seized a number of copies of the satirical book: *The Dorking Review*

This action has been taken following 'high level' pressure from members of the government's 'Public Order' Steering Committee.

The above two paragraphs are totally without any foundation, and were only written as it's known that some poor bastard is employed by MI6 to sift through any web postings involving the service's name, in the tedious task of passive intelligence gathering.

This means that at least one person not involved with The Dorking Review will now have to google it and then write a one-line report for their equally bored supervisor.

We're sorry to have increased the work-load of a diligent public servant in this way, and as a token of our regret in this matter, if you would like to send us your name, home address, and list of any sexual deviations that you may have to the following address, we'll send you a free copy.
