It irritates me to no end when I hear people say, "Oh, but my insurance covers the IVF treatment, so it's only xx dollars!" And, there's no concept AT ALL of the true cost that is actually being paid! This is just one example that I heard recently from someone, but you can substitute almost any medical procedure...<br /><br />So frustrating...

If you could only walk through my clinic and see the suffering brought on to people by Flour and Sugar, you would likely run screaming out the door! ;) Just kidding you develop a tolerance for the nasty wounds and for the indifference that comes with chronic disease. DM2, kidney failure (hemodialysis will drain us dry), congestive heart failure, morbid obesity and degenerative joint disease ...to name a few. Oh there's much more but, again I agree if we put time and money into body maintenance we would have fewer roadside breakdowns.Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-56370330014235787052015-11-21T10:46:29.244-05:002015-11-21T10:46:29.244-05:00To continue with the car analogy, if you do not ke...To continue with the car analogy, if you do not keep up with your maintenance, the performance drops and the repairs become more costly. For health insurance in Canada with medicare, additional personal coverage is necessary and for some provinces obligatory to have. <br /><br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-77609603793423089292015-11-21T09:13:40.453-05:002015-11-21T09:13:40.453-05:00As Usual Great Post Amy!!! no need to keep them sh...As Usual Great Post Amy!!! no need to keep them short for me!!

I am reminded of Shakespeare's "Thou do protest too much' and The Farmer Poet Burns, 'Oh that we wad see ourselves as others see us, it wad from many a blunder free us'. <br />Food and health is a huge, complicated subject, made so by humans educated to believe that nature can be subjugated to mind over matter, yet the whole truth is hidden in full sight. These self evident truths are revealed as we become aware that partial truths, spun as whole, become revealed through diligent enquiry and as events unfold. <br />In my healthy 70's, except for a decade+ in the Roman Wall Country of Northern UK, in Police service with almost a decade as Detective Investigator, I have spent my life in grassland and animal husbandry. As such I certainly know how to follow my nose and arms length commendation for perspicacity. Using these skills I have come full cycle from grass fattening the domesticated beasts of a thousand hills, through the full gamut of grain fattening, hormone and artificial fertilizer/chemical use and back to grass/greens fattening.<br />Knowing that Britain was the Beefeater Nation at its healthiest mid Victorian era and believing that Caesar from his writings on 54 BC Invasion, had invaded for the Milk and Meat diet of the indigenous tribes of superior size and stamina, and that old men of my youth believed you should eat the fats of the land daily in the form of beef, with all other meats in moderation, I have come full cycle back to the ancient, 'Eat mainly of animals with cloven hooves, that chew their cud'. These of course are mainly represented by domesticated cattle and sheep, grass fattened as in history.<br />Further in 1996, looking for evidence, with my veterinary daughter, through the good offices of our local Department of Fisheries, and the late, Dr Robert Ackman, who became known as Dr Omega 3 locally, we discovered that beef feed to our protocol, predominately grass fattened, was higher in Essential fatty acid Omega3 in 6:3 balance than ground codfish. This was on Analysis of Ground beef Trim. <br />Since then I have been researching continually and constantly reviewing emerging on line scientific evidence around the world. Natural or Naturalized grass fattening pastures, apart from grass/clovers also contain medicinal plants, synergistic to the health of cattle and subsequently human health, throughout our evolution. These facts of history cannot be denied and these greens of fattening pastures contain carotenoids and antioxidants at ten times the levels found in healthy green domesticated vegetables. It necessarily follows, that these human inedible greens. ruminated through cudding and gut fermentation, are further concentrated, in the muscle proteins and unique fat profile of ruminants. Apart from believed anti cancer, anti inflammatory Omega 3 and CLA, Vitamin A,D,E and K2 are fats soluble. Taken as a whole such food is a form of stored sun energy allowing our lives to sustain throughout the seasons. <br />It will eventually be re discovered that such 'fats of the land' are not only the foods of our evolution and brain development, but also our sustainable future and the natural fertility of our beautiful planet, not the arable, soil destroying grains mainly for chicken feed and grain fed meats.<br />Beefeaterhttp://lindenleas.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-4374833907324255582015-11-20T13:31:28.505-05:002015-11-20T13:31:28.505-05:00Right on.

And if someone has such a charmed life that they have the privilege of worrying aboout (and commenting on) what someone *else* eats, well, there's probably a soup kitchen somewhere that could use a volunteer! ;-)Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-63721920541327544262015-11-20T11:29:12.745-05:002015-11-20T11:29:12.745-05:00Oh, the slack I have gotten from my own Primal-typ...Oh, the slack I have gotten from my own Primal-type blogging 'friends' over not eating ONLY grass-fed beef.
