Thank you all for this presentation. I usually prefer to read text rather than listen to audio or watch video. In this case, however, I overcame my resistance because during this past few weeks I've been thinking along the same lines as you were all discussing during this show.
I've been successful with a modified Paleo Diet so far. After first doing the Ultra-Simple Diet and re-introducing one food at a time and monitoring the results. Seems I can't do many veggies which was initially disappointing since I prefer veggies to fruits. But my body apparently prefers fruits instead. I've discovered that if I soak dried fruit in my crystal water for a day or 2 in the fridge, then blend it into a sort of applesauce consistency and eat it on an empty stomach, it works fine for me personally. I have to wait a few hours for the fruit to digest first before introducing another food type because following good food-combining principles has been a procedure I've intuitively adhered to most of my adult life . . . even though I didn't realize I was doing so until I read about it back in the 80's. If I don't combine properly, my body lets me know in no uncertain terms that I've done her wrong. The price is not worth it.
Getting over the diet-dogma mind-set feels like such a relief. As great a relief as learning that JC is Julius Ceasar rather than Jesus Christ.
NOTE: Two of my sisters also follow the Paleo Diet and also have had great success in extremely improved health, energy levels, getting off pharma meds, better overall digestion, and losing excess weight. One sister is also doing the Iodine Protocol.
I wanted to comment about foods and supplements corresponding to information. The point expressed about the life-force and measurable bio-photon light energy contained in a whole food which is missing in supplements (such as fish oil) and how extracting bits & pieces of elements from the natural food itself eliminates the synergistic effect of all the other elements found in the natural whole food. It seems to me it's similar to quoting one sentence out of an entire paragraph or speech. Like sound bites. It's out of context. So maybe these extracted vitamins, minerals, etc. act almost like out-of-context information. Some of the information is missing so the body has a difficult time responding positively because it's not the WHOLE truth . . . just a partial truth. And, like applied kinesiology (muscle testing), the body will test weak or strong depending on how much complete 'truth' is contained in what is being tested.
What I'm getting from the discussion is that it's important to take into consideration not only the specific nutritional elements contained in any specific food, but that other contributions such as sunlight, weather, season, soil, etc., are also important as well. That all these are part & parcel of the relative quality of the overall nutritional value of our foods. And for all I know, maybe the attitudes of the people growing, tending, weeding, harvesting & preparing the foods & supplements are also part of the equation.
Not that we don't need supplements. Because I think we do. Especially since our soils are so depleted that we aren't getting the full dose of vitamins & minerals we used to get from eating foods. (I almost made a typo and said 'since our souls are so depleted') SOTT had an article about that very issue a few days ago. About soil depletion, not soul depletion. :)

Excerpt: "The Organic Consumers Association cites several other studies with similar findings: A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient data from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh vegetables dropped 27 percent; iron levels 37 percent; vitamin A levels 21 percent, and vitamin C levels 30 percent. A similar study of British nutrient data from 1930 to 1980, published in the British Food Journal, found that in 20 vegetables the average calcium content had declined 19 percent; iron 22 percent; and potassium 14 percent. Yet another study concluded that one would have to eat eight oranges today to derive the same amount of Vitamin A as our grandparents would have gotten from one."
And as Jonathan pointed out, eating foods in season seems to work differently than eating those same foods out of season. And that he cannot eat raw peppers, but he can eat cooked jalapenos. Something which I too have noticed. Some foods work better for me when they're dried, some work better when fresh & raw, some work better when cooked, some work better when blended in the blender.
Most all my family and friends & neighbors are interested in this information, so I intend to send them the link to this talk. Thank you all very much.
Cheers!
