The insulin-cycle overworked pancreas may eventually not be able to secrete enough enzymes to allow for the efficient digestion of foods high in protein.  As stated earlier, poor protein digestion leads to a highly toxic condition from putrefied protein in the intestines.  This condition is alleviated by eliminating animal proteins from the diet and taking digestive aids such as pancreatin pills with meals to assist in the digestion of vegetable proteins.

Food Combining And “Healthfood Junkfood.”

This brings us to a topic I call healthfood junkfood.  Many people improve their diet, eliminating meat and chemicalized food in favor of whole grains and organically grown foods, but they then proceed to make these otherwise good foods into virtual junkfood by preparing them incorrectly.  In my travels, I’ve noticed this same thing happens everywhere on Earth.  What should be health-producing dietaries are ruined by frying, salting and sugaring.

Healthfood junkfoods include organically grown potato chips deep fried in cold pressed organic unsaturated canola oil (made rancid by frying) sprinkled with natural sea salt; organically grown oat and nut granola roasted with cold-pressed unsaturated oil (made rancid by roasting) hideously sweetened with honey; carrot cake made with rancid whole wheat flour, cold pressed unsaturated oil (made rancid by baking), honey, and cream cheese (salted); whole wheat cookies (stale, rancid flour) sweetened with honey, made with vegetable oil baked at high heat (rancid); whole wheat pizza vegetarian style with lots of soy cheese; whole wheat pizza vegan style with lots of real raw milk cheese; organically grown corn chips deep fried in cold pressed vegetable oil with or without natural sea salt, yogurts made from powdered milk without an active culture of beneficial bacteria and covered with highly sugared fruits, etc.  These foods may well represent an improvement over the average American diet, but they still are not healthy foods, and should never be used in a diet for a sick person.  Nor are they worthy of a person attempting to maximize health.

The problem with healthfood junkfoods is not their major ingredients, but how they were combined and processed and adulterated.  Remember, fats, animal or vegetable, subjected to high heat become indigestible and toxic and make anything they’re cooked with indigestible; salt is a toxic drug; cheese, hard enough to digest as it is, when raised to high temperatures as it is when making pizza, becomes virtually indigestible and cheese inevitably contains a lot of butterfat which, though saturated animal fat, when raised to high temperatures, still becomes slightly rancid.  And all these foods represent indigestible combinations.

My clients almost never believe me when I first explain the idea of food combining.  They think if it goes in one end, comes out the other, and they don’t feel any unpleasant symptoms in between, then it was digested.  But bad food combinations have a cumulative degenerative effect over a long period of time.  When the symptoms arrive the victim never associates the food combination with the symptom because it seems to them that they’ve always been eating the food.
