The 30 Day Journey
November 23
You can take a stand in life, or you can go through life like a pin being pulled from a cup of water. Nothing is noticed!!
I am planning on talking to some of the men and women I see everyday at the gym. I see that they have the commitment, and the willingness to do the work. Like me though, the nutritional piece is missing. If I can get them to read the PH Miracle, I know they will have significant results.
I briefly mentioned eating raw to a guy while sitting in the sauna. He said he had never considered it and didn't know if he could go with cooked food. I asked a simple question. If you continue to eat the way you are now and working out at the same level, do you think you will get the results you want? He thought about it and said it was an interesting way of looking at it.
Hopefully, our discussion may prompt more action than thought!!
I have been working pretty steady on my web projects. The goal is to have 4 sites up and running by years end. I will go into more detail about that as I get closer to the end of the year.
Breakfast - Cucumber Juice
Lunch - Brazil nuts and 9.5 PH water Essentia brand
Dinner - Salad
I had a nice talk with my mother regarding nutrition. She is experiencing some problems and asked my advice. She is experiencing some problems handling dairy products. The doctor gave her 3 new meds to handle it. I told her to throw the meds away and stop eating dairy. It amazes me that doctors are more preoccupied with handing out drugs than being a consultant. As I have said many times before, doctors are spoon fed by big pharma who educate them in the practice of dispensing drugs. Maintenance is the name of the game, not cures.

Been very busy lately! I can contribute my stamina to my new eating habits. Thanksgiving dinner was two plates of salad tonight. I went green all day.
It is always good to know that I can control one thing in my life. That one thing is how I choose to maintain my health. We are all a culmination of the decisions we have made. I see this at the gym every day.
At the gym, I see what makes winners and what makes those who come up a little short. In the PH Miracle, one of the things Dr. Young emphasizes is sweating every day. Sweating always helps the lymph system to clean out toxins through the 4 pathways. I don't understand why some people will stop working out as soon as they see sweat. Or even more astonishing is seeing people walk into the gym dry and walk out dryer!! I guess some are just there to be seen or are looking for a mate.

Life is full of spectators. Someone once said you can join the parade of life or stay in the stands. I am choosing to be a participant. I feel that I have so many things I want to do with my life. As I approach halftime, I am reevaluating my goals and some of the things I want to do. Way back in the blog, I mentioned 10 things I want to accomplish. Here's another one.
How about a 1/2 hour ride in an old Russian Mig!! I remember reading in the Robb Report years ago that they are available for a premium price. If the money is there, why not. I hope to leave it on the field when I am done.
I strongly recommend everyone get the PH Miracle. Then read it! I think it is much more than a weight loss set of books. The series is about putting yourself in a position to win longterm. If more people choose to make a few simple changes, I think we can change our health care system. Having worked in the health care system for the last 15 year, I know we need some changes.
As I have promised my son, I do plan on starting podcast next week. As I said before, I plan to make a synopsis of this journey and then do some self interviews. I also plan on getting some folks in the raw food community to allow me to interview them. I think everyone who is on this journey has a story to tell. I hope to have that setup very soon.

This month is moving pretty fast.
Thanksgiving is in a few days. What am I going to do. I have been thinking a lot about it and may have some seafood again on that day. Either way, I feel now that I am in control of my eating habits. Eating raw foods is the safest, cleanest way for me to protest myself from myself!!
I am looking forward to visiting my kids soon. I want to share with them as much information as possible. They are at a critical time in their lives where eating habits will begin to take form. I will be making things as basic as possible. No sermons, just information to help them see what options they have nutritionally.

Happy Birthday Mom!!
I have had the privilege to listen to phone conferences by the raw food summit over last couple of days. This is a 14 day event in which people are interviewed and broadcasts are done via conference call dial up.
Tonights session was with Dr. Robert Young, author of The PH Miracle. After listening to this 70 minute session, I am convinced that Dr. Young's new biology theories can change the world. If he is curing people of diseases such as aids and diabetes, I think the general population should pay attention. As I have mentioned before, the big pharma companies are not interested in curing anything. There is no profit in cure. The profit will always be in maintenance. If they can teach you to live with your ailment, they have a steady stream of income that will last your lifetime.
His approach is simple and one in which I have integrated into my eating habits. Simply put, consume as much green raw fruits and vegetables as you can. Green fruits such as avocados and cucumbers. Avoid the sweet fruits with high sugar content. Sugar feeds disease. I plan to grab the book off of the shelf and go over some of the principles and action plans he has outlined.
Today was a great day at the gym. I increased the intensity and longevity of all the machines I worked on. I worked very hard and felt pretty tired afterward. I actually took a late afternoon nap and then grabbed a salad for a late, late lunch. Dinner was another salad with an avocado.
I will be taking pictures tomorrow to post here or on the sister site to this blog.

Was watching the "presidential debates" tonight. It's very interesting to listen to the questions and answers.
What's more interesting is how the questions and answers have no real relevance to reality. Anyone can stand up and pledge they will protect their country.
How about answering these questions:
1. What are your plans to get our kids off the couch and back outdoors again?
2. What are your plans to combat the increasing rate of childhood type 2 diabets and high blood pressure?
3. What are your plans to secure something thats more important than the borders, our food supply?
November 14
What is the best way to communicate good health habits to our kids? Answer, be an example. We need to begin a grassroots approach to teaching proper eating habits. As processed food becomes more prevalent and fruits and vegetables become more concentrated and toxic, we need to teach methods that will ensure our kids are properly fed.

I will soon be moving over to a podcast format. Matthew, you get your wish!! I have installed the software and now am testing it. This will allow me to share my thoughts in another format. My plan is to start from the beginning with a brief overview of the 30 day journey. Then I will comment on my comments until I have caught up to present. Or, I just might create 1 large podcast going over the 30 days. Either way, I think it is time to use this medium to communicate. In fact, it may be easier for those like me who need reading glasses now
I have been working hard at the gym the last couple of days. I have been getting tired in the evening. I am working on 5-6 hours of sleep these days. Working on getting web sites up and running asap. Once I get them going, I will have more time to sleep!! I will provide links and information about them as I get closer to completing. One site is up and running and I hope you will send your kids to it. The United Student Unionis a student leadership page that I plan to do a lot with.
1. Leadership topics
2. Job pipelines
3. Corporate involvement - Have a CEO do a web chat with the kids
There are a few more things that will also be a part of the site. I am very excited about the idea.
Back to the journey.
I am planning on buying a food dehydrator soon. I was looking at a few recipes and they all look very enticing. I have been doing mono-eating for the bulk of the time. Mono-eating is really the most efficient eating method. It doesn't tax the digestive systems as much as when you eat several different foods at the same time. That is my only concern regarding getting and making dehydrated meals. One of the foods that I found and ate while in North Carolina was a raw food bar. It consisted of dehydrated nuts and fruit. Really tasted good. Looking at the label, I realize I can make it myself if I have the proper tools.
Todays Meals:
Breakfast - Cucumber Juice with Spinach
Lunch - 4 bananas
Dinner - Brazil and Cashews
Will begin to ween myself off of the nuts now. Finding that I don't have the craving for a denser food when I eat bananas for lunch. I think I will start back to eating large salad for dinner and raw food bar for snack if hungry.
Tomorrow, I will stand on my soap box and make an appeal to all those who are interested in changing their lives!!

Yes, I am going to publish pictures very soon!! Been working on other web projects and haven't brought my linking page down to edit yet.
Was so busy working that I totally forgot about the football game. Oh well, my priorities are in order
Has my attitude about food changed?? Yes. I no longer view food as something I should necessarily enjoy all the time. Dick Gregory once said "the body craves nutrition, not food." I have been thinking a lot about that recently. There are so many different products out that supposedly promote healthy eating. By the way, has anybody seen the pitchman from subway lately? I wonder if he has still kept it off. Probably not because the food is in contradiction to what our bodies need.
My daughter loves spinach. She loves spinach because it was promoted in a positive way. If natural fruits and vegetables were promoted in a positive way, we would have a more healthy adult population down the road. Popeye taught kids to eat spinach for the result, stronger muscles. Today kids are taught to eat for a different result, the prize in the box.
Hopefully we will wake up. Diabetes and high blood pressure are creeping into children's lives at an alarming rate. We need to find common ground between dodge ball and computer jockeying. Have you ever seen a pharmaceutical company promote a healthy lifestyle?? They know that their client base will continue to get bigger and younger as long as we refuse to wake up and make a difference.
