High Quality Foods Dr GerrieLindeque
It is time to move beyond organic • Brix count and mineral content the most important factors • The liver has an amazing ability to detox pesticides and environmental toxins if we give it proper support • Phase one detox – depends on the strength of the enzymes • Phase two detox on availability of compounds produced like glutathion and glucuronic acid
The liver enzymes being anionic needs adequate calcium in order to apply energy and detox the cationic toxins • So the most toxic food is actually Calcium deficient food • Good quality foods should be high in calcium and minerals as well as antioxidants and vitamins
Fruit and Vegetables Some studies have shown that the more of these people eat the more cancer they get The reason is not primarily the chemicals although they are bad and definitely play a role We have to look at chemical fertilization methods- an excess of certain salts and a lack of others
In a plant we have the unique process of photosynthesis • Carbon dioxide from the air is converted to sugar in the leaves under the guidance of chlorophyll and sunlight • Phosphate absolutely necessary to allow these sugars to become mobile and move around in the plant
The plant create a unique sugar-phosphate-mineral colloid complex that absolutely are the best way to get mineral energy into a human being • We can measure the brix level of the plant to determine its quality , taste and mineral content • see brix chart
Modern fertilization methods involve applying large amounts of chemical fertilizer to “dead” soil • The plants are easily overdosed with phosphates in the sense that the plant cannot keep up with colloid formation and some of the phosphates are stored in the plant in “free” form • This phosphate will act as an enemy of calcium in the body (much like the Phosphoric acid in Soft drinks)
What should happen? • First of all carbon content needs to be built up in the soil to restore earthworm and bacterial action • Soft rock phosphate (langphos) can be applied in adequate amounts and the plant will only take as much as it can handle at a time • Adequate amounts of calcium should be available to the plants at all times • Compost tea and Foliar feeds can be utilized – a plant gets 80 % of its nutrients from the atmosphere
High Brix vegetables are much tastier and much healthier! Five times the brix means five times the mineral content! The calcium takes on the frequency of the specific plant To the body calcium in spinach is different from calcium in beetroot – you need a wide variety!
Because the human being have the highest frequency in all of creation we also need the greatest variety in our diet • Never get stuck on only certain foods if you want to be healthy ! • Traditionally people would eat “in season” produce that was available
Grains : same principles apply-you want high brix with high calcium content-makes it much more digestible and nutritious • Example: Popcorn contains significantly more minerals and carbon per weight than regular corn in order for it to “pop” • Makes an excellent porridge or cornbread and is naturally gluten free!
Aztec corn (blue-black) makes a purple porridge-anti oxidant value higher than blueberry-extremely high mineral content\ • Red corn ( bloody butcher) • Traditionally treated with Slaked Lime (Calcium hydroxide) in process of Nixtimilization to liberate vitamin B3-makes lovely tortias-served with beans and avocado-Complete protein
Eggs can be an amazing superfood ! • Extremely dependent on the diet of the chicken • Fatty acid composition can shift between omega 3 and 6 and CLA • Antioxidants can be converted to extremely valuable forms-luteien and other caretenoids • I get excellent results by feeding Kale and other greens to my chickens • What does free range really mean? • We want Range fed!
Dairy • Dairy products can amazingly healthy if good quality used • High vitamin butter contains the same non esterified vitamin A that you get in Cod liver oil – this butter is naturally darker yellow in color • We feed the cows Carrots 2-5 kg per day as well as lots of high quality alfalfa • With both cattle and chickens we make sure that no GMO feeds are given!
Free range beef contains high levels of anti cancer fatty acid CLA (Almost completely missing from feedlot beef-not to mention GMO component and Chemicals used!) • Again grass fed could mean many different stages and quality of grass Also does not specify what licks and tick poisons used • Not wrong to feed them some supplemental feed as long as it is natural non GMO and high in minerals and nutrients- I make a mixture of Alfalfa and Flax with some Barley and oats (and of course additional calcium) • If you have high brix grass you can finish them on grass alone during the spring time when we have rapid growth of green grass with enough proteien Dr Reams got his pasture grasses up to a brix of 20
The best possible way to get your minerals is to feed your food by properly feeding the soil it comes from! • High quality produce produced from high quality soil and prepared the right way cannot be beaten for mineral content and health !
