I recommended this book  numerous times since studying with Wayne Muller and his organization Bread for the Journey back in the 90’s.

I am  recommending it again because the #1 problem with most every single one of my patients is STRESS!  

Americans do not value stess reduction and pay a huge price for not doing so!

It has been said it takes 12 years to recover from just 1 year of stress.

I am sincerely asking you to read this book and to begin taking one full day off per week and make that day about you.  Learn the sacred rythym of rest and understand why Sabbath has existed for millenia. Initially this may be painful – after a few weeks,you will never want to go back.

You may think you know what Sabbath means but you really don’t.  Read the book!

Furthermore, even though you are taking a full day off; you wind up getting more done in the remaining six days; and done with less stress.

This is the best advise I can give you to begin this Healthy New Year

Eating right hard isn’t it? The best foods are not quite as appetizing or just not readily accessible.

After 40 years of deep research on the best “Diet,” (a term I abhor) and sifting through hundreds of scientific papers, reading all the diet books from Atkins to Zone,  I have compiled these 12 simple rules for exceptional eating.

These rules apply to everyone, particularly those combating cancer.

Beyond dieting, these 12 eating rules should rid your psyche of the old way of thinking (i.e. calorie counting) and adopting a new way of thinking – eating real food.

12 Simple Rules to exceptional eating:

1. Do not eat ANY food with guilt, — bless the food with your mind and ENJOY it!

2. If your grandmother does not or would not recognize the food, it’s probably NOT A FOOD.

3. Spice it up. The health benefits of spices are Mother Nature’s gift to us.  **Learn the “art” of using spices and use them readily.

4. If the food takes a long time to spoil or it doesn’t spoil, it’s not good for you. All good food spoils within a relatively short time.

5. If the ingredients list is more than 4 unpronounceable words, it’s probably chemical junk.      Best foods have just one word as an ingredient, e.g. broccoli

6. Limit sugars, fruit juices and white flour foods as much as Godly possible. Yes fruit juice too.    It’s only marginally better than soda.  Very few exceptions.

7. If eating MEATS, no problem. Just know that meats are “high stress” proteins meaning they can take up to 12 hours to digest. Best to eat earlier in the day and Best if the animal source was eating their natural diet before it ended up on your plate, e.g. Cattle should eat grass not cornor grains. Chickens which are really birds eat worms not corn feed.

8. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of CLEAN water a day. If eating lots of fruits and vegetables, only 4 to 6 cups a day is needed. Tea also counts.

9. Portion control – is OK to leave food on your plate – better not to load the plate to begin with

10. Eat mostly plants, especially greens. They are filled with tons of plant chemicals that are more anti-carcinogenic. Eat from the Organic Only List 

11. Exclude diets of exclusion; low-fat this, low-carb that, diet this, low sugar that. If you are going to have ice cream, have the real thing. See rule #1.

12. Buy foods from LOCAL FARMS or FARMERS MARKETS (even if it’s not labeled organic) first, then health food stores.

I have mentioned to those of you who are patients there is something incorrect about Omega 3/6/9 essential fatty acids which originate from fish.

Back in October, I was introduced to Professor Brian Peskin whose research and scholarship regarding Parent Omega Oils is respectfully outstanding.

We need Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) but they have to be of the “Parent” variety which is plant based as opposed to what is extracted from dead fish.

I am attaching  a document from the website about Parent Omega Oils and also how to order them directly.

I strongly recommend you read Professor Peskin’s body of work on this topic. His research on the improtance of Omega 6 is now recognized by both cardiologists and oncologists worldwide,

• Parent Omega Oil

For those of you who have been using the PEO’s since November when I first introduced them into the practice, I encourage you to re-order.

Lastly, I have placed the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator on the homepage of the website. After doing mine, I had to first get over the initial shock, then the depression and now the motivation to do something about it.  Please use the BMI calculator as a tool of empowerment to create change.
