DEBRIEFING
Welcome to Straight From The Clay. There is an unending quest for answers about what is in the best interest of
our own and loved ones health. The purpose of this particular page is to debrief you, to lessen the shock to the
conscious. We began with the words of a wise man, King Solomon:
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again;
There is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can
say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it
was here before our time. There is no remembrance of men of old, and
even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.
There is a simple universal truth. Mother Earth or Nature provides all the unadulterated essential nutrients for life.
It doesn’t take fancy credentials or advanced degrees. As the Wizard of Oz explained to the Scarecrow:
Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that
crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats
of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and
with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma. Therefore, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Universitartus Committiartum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary
degree of ThD.
Scarecrow: ThD?
Wizard of Oz: That's... Doctor of Thinkology.
You must learn to follow your natural intuitions or instincts. No matter what your belief, you will find something on
the worldwide web or somewhere to support that belief. Therefore, each reader is bestowed with the degree of ThD
grant you your inalienable right to think, to use your natural intuitions as you read this site. It willl provide an
objective overview and links to strongly recommend pure essential nutrients so that you may make informed
decisions about you and your loved one's quality of life and overall health ---physiological and psychological.
So, what's a nutrient? Surprisingly, there are no absolutes of course. The study of nutrients is a developing
science…researchers are becoming more aware of a wider range of nutrients essential for health. For instance,
the discovery of nutrients called phytonutrients [plant derivatives] reinforces the provisional nature of our knowledge.
We know little about phytonutrients which play an essential role in the normal functioning of a body and have
complex hormonal effects on health or play an active role in the amelioration of disease.” Nutrient. Truth is, nature
has solved this mystery for us. Man's reliance on plants for his survival has been demonstrated throughout our
existence as air and main food source. There is no new discovery or mystery.
A nutrient has been described as either a chemical element or compound used in an organism's metabolism
or physiology. Nutrients provides the catalysts or fuel for life as we know it. If the body cannot synthesized the
nutrient from within the body, it must be obtained from a food source. Simply stated, the organism will whither
away and die if it cannot obtain these necessary nutrients. Keep in mind that the modern accepted estimate of
the number of cells in the human body is fifty trillion. At any one time, the number of chemical activities being
coordinated is mind-boggling, literally infinite in our present perceptions. These activities include, thought,
movement, smell, taste, hearing, touch, speech, sight, reproduction, etc. Included in these activities is the
healing process which is constant. This ongoing phenomena is called homeostasis of organ replacement
(healing)and begins 8 weeks after conception and continues throughout our life. Because this amazing drama is
ongoing and silent, we need to be made aware of its presence and priority in our life. These miracles deserve our
attention because the quality of cell replacement has more to do with the quality of our life experience than any
other single factor.
We all know that the body's ability to perform many of its functions changes gradually over the years. We all can
attest to the fact the body perform its functions least well at both ends of life - in infancy and in old age. During
childhood, body functions gradually become more and more efficient and effective. During late maturity and old
age the opposite is true. They gradually become less and less efficient and effective. We can’t eat the things we
use to or tirelessly and mindlessly run amok doing childhood activities and; other activities that detract from our
quality of life.
What all of this means is that the body, with the intended nutrients maintains homeostasis. The body is a
perpetually self-repairing mechanism. It is worth repeating. The human body can repair itself with the intended
nutrients. It is well-established that whatever your age, your body should be many years younger. In fact, even if
you're middle aged, the body should be just 10 years old or less. This heartening truth, arises from the fact that
most of the body's tissues should be under constant renewal. During a twelve month period 95% of all the atoms
in your body should be replaced without a sound. Your skin should be new every four weeks. Gums holding our
teeth are replaced every two weeks. Our stomach lining is replaced every four days. The surface cells of our
digestive system that make first contact with our food are recreated by the millions every five minutes. New cells
flowing throughout our liver are replaced every six weeks. The flow of new atoms through our skeletal system
renews bone environment every three months. Damaged nerve cells grow new branches. The brain is now
demonstrating a repair system that was totally unknown a few years ago. But without the right nutrients what type
of cells are we regenerating? NYTimes Article; Regeneration ; US Scientist Discover Role of Enzyme In The Body
That Repair DNA
Conventional medicine has for a long time grossly under estimated or reported the ability of the body to repair itself.
For instance, stem cells are not new. Research in the human stem cell field grew from their discovery by Canadian
scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in the 1960s. We were aware of three types of stem cells:
embryonic stem cells, from blastocysts; adult stem cells, found in adult tissue, and; cord blood stem cells, found in
umbilicial cords. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues
(heart, brain, etc.)._ In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body,
replenishing specialized cells. Stem Cells .
A fourth regenerating cell was recently discovered by researchers at the University of Florida. Ordinary human brain
cells were discovered to exhibit qualities of self-renewal and adaptability normally associated with stem cells (the
ability to morph into any type of cell to renew a specialized organ such as the heart, brain, liver, kidney, etc.
News Article
The question is how are the adult stem cells activated in the adult? Are they there for a purpose? What is the
missing link? Could the missing links be the five nutrients proposed herein in their natural forms which far
exceeds the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) put forth by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). See the link
to vitamins and minerals.
Add this to the equation. The word placebo is from the Latin "I shall please." The placebo effect, a coined term, is
the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health not attributable to treatment. A person's beliefs and
hopes about a treatment, combined with their suggestibility, may have a significant biochemical effect. Sensory
experience and thoughts can affect neurochemistry. The body's neurochemical system affects and is affected by
other biochemical systems, including the hormonal and immune systems. Thus, it is consistent with current
knowledge that a person's hopeful attitude and beliefs may be very important to their physical well-being and
recovery from injury or illness. skepdic.com/placebo; FDA Healing; Wiki/Placebo
Place the two together, adult stem cells and the so-called placebo effect with the necessary nutrients. What is the
result. PRAY, THINK AND BELIEVE and the body will heal itself.
Meanwhile, back at the slaughterhouse, the debate continues amongst health care practitioners about what is the
best care for the human body. The leading or controlling health care advocates are two types of physicians. M.D.,
Doctor of Medicine or Allopathic Physician, and; D.O.--- Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Both are medical doctors
having to complete four years of basic medical education (carving meat and prescribing drugs to tenderize the body
for more carving), serve an internship and pass comparable state licensing exams. Obviously, both have a vested
interest in maintaining the status quo.
The M.D. treat diseases and injury using surgery and/or counteractive methods or conventional medicine. Allopathic
Physician . See numerous articles over web about unnecessary surgeries, estimated at 60%. Newstarget
Google Unnecessary Surgery Precriptions, see for instance antibiotics to kill bacteria that have caused an
infection. Ironically, millions of children who see a doctor for a sore throat each year get prescriptions for antibiotics.
But, the three main dangers of antibiotics are (1) allergic reactions,(2) destruction of helpful microbes or micro flora
and allowing pathogenic microbes a greater chance to multiply, which can lead to a new infection called a
superinfection, (3) damage to organs and tissues. CBSNEWS Report ; Google Search dangers of prescribing
antibiotics.
Osteopathic medicine, practiced by D.Os., was founded by Andrew Taylor Still, an M.D. in 1874. Ironically,
because he believed that conventionally trained physicians over-prescribed harsh and often toxic medications. He
believed by diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal system that physicians could treat a variety of diseases
and spare patients the negative side-effects of drugs. Dr. Still started the first college of osteopathy in 1892 in
Kirksville, Missouri. He sought an holistic approach to treating illness and promoting health by enhancing the
body's natural healing powers. His approach emphasized the relationship between body structure and function,
and it aimed to focus on the whole patient (mind, body and soul), rather than on symptoms. Osteopathic Medicine .
To date the number of M.Ds. significantly outnumber the D.Os., the latter representing only 6% of all practicing
doctors.
A significant number of both practitioners are divided toward the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicines
(CAM). CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently
considered to be part of conventional medicine. NIH Gov health.
Reflecting society's interest in complementary and alternative medicine, both allopathic and osteopathic medical
schools in the United States today offer perfunctory (half donkey) instruction in CAM. Those instructions involved
less than 20 contact hours of instruction. The topics most often taught at the schools were acupuncture (68%),
herbs and botanicals (68%), spirituality (56%), dietary therapy (52%), and homeopathy (48%). Most (72%) CAM
instructors were also practitioners of CAM modes of therapy. However, few (12%) of the instructors taught CAM
from an evidence-based perspective. JAOA.Org . Moreover, such training was not mandatory, but elective. Medical
training places emphasis on diagnosis of what the patient tells them; surgery and prescription drugs.
texashealthfreedom.com/ Now chew on this a moment:
1. There are now more than 200 major pharmaceutical companies, jointly said to be more
profitable than almost any other industry earning $602 billion dollars worldwide in 2006.
2. Doctors are the most important players in pharmaceutical sales, however they are not chemist.
they have a general knowledge, but don't have a clue about the chemical makeup of the drug.
3. The illegal distribution of prescription drugs is a booming business. Do a Google search
on ”illegal distribution of prescription drugs”
4. Approximately, between 2 percent and 16 percent of medical schools' yearly budgets come
from the drug industry. NPR.ORG HCRENEWAL CavalierDaily
5. Pharmaceutical companies employ more political lobbyists than any other industry.
Google FDA Crimes
6. How many recalls of drugs are there yearly and why is it so difficult to sue the pharmaceutical
companies? See 5 above. Also a % of money is set aside as lawsuit expense.
7. Why is the cost of drugs so high in the US than elsewhere. See 5 above.
8. Why are there so many adverse side affects of drugs and why is it condoned? See 5 above. It is
strongly recommended that you click on the following link to investigate the drug you are now taking.
Each year, more than 9.6 million adverse drug reactions occur in older Americans, creating diseases
http://www.worstpills.org/public/page.cfm?op_id=5
9. How many people have died relying on drugs as cure all magic pills with limited repercussions?
See 5 above. It is strongly recommended that you view the following link to review the mortality/death
rate statistics of taking prescriptions drugs. http://www.webdc.com/pdfs/deathbymedicine.pdf
10. If we do not die as planned how would that affect the world population, resources, social security,
etc., etc., etc.? Hmm, creates a paradox doesn't it. Don't worry, most will not heed the clear warnings.
It should not come as a surprise that pharmaceutical companies, medical schools and physicians have a vested
interest and monopoly on the healthcare industry. We can accept what the drug companies, as the ruling authority,
put out as truth. But, the truth must be validated by us. Some of us are slowly seeing the light. See an in-depth
overview of pharmaceutical companies on the web and draw your own conclusions. wikipedia.Pharmaceutical.
Further, all your contributions to charitable organizations to find cures for diseases are subsequently
reduced or removed from the practical intent for your contribution. Charitable Donations. Your intent becomes
purely theoretical or academic. In reality when a so-called medical discovery is made using your contributions, the
researcher sells the rights to a pharmaceutical company. The drug company obtains a patent on the discovery
which gives it the exclusive right to mass produce, advertise and distribute at a significant price. Simple, it is not for
the betterment of mankind, it is for profit.
Further it is not a discovery, chemist and scientist extract the so-called active ingredient in a plant. They cannot
patent the plant but they can patent the extract and the extracting process. A synthetic copy of the abstract is
produced in the laboratory for mass production. Isolation of Phytonutrients; Herbs Medicine
Would you prefer a synthetic incomplete copy or the Real McCoy. No matter the price in lives lost and debilitating
quality of life reducing side-effects in attempting to duplicate God's creation----the plant and its phytonutrients are
very complex and require all those things that make it what it is, which is absent from the synthetic copy---the
practice continues with our acquiescence. There is nothing new, they get rich we get........
For instance as noted most drugs have a phytonutrient base, aspirin is a copy of a phytonutrient from the willow
tree, but the natural plant does not have the side effects. wikipedia/Aspirin
Notwithstanding the pharmaceutical companies influences, this is not an indictment of all physicians, they have
earned the coveted title of physician spending long hours studying, training and practicing medicine for the good.
We believe that the majority of physicians are progressive, recommend and support what is in the best interest of
their patients whether conventional or unconventional medicine. Indeed, the brave are coming forward with the truth.
This website is advocating six (6) basic nutrient requirement for preventive or unconventional treatment
that are essential in maintaining optimal health over the course of a lifetime in this day and age:
1. Digestive Enzymes
2. Probiotics
3. Vitamins
4. Minerals
5. Phytonutrients
6. Fatty Acids, Omega 3&6
All six have a symbiotic relationship to each other. PLEASE LISTEN CAREFULLY. One will not work without the other.
Do not load up on one or two or whatever, it is detrimental to your health. They must be synchronized in the right
dosage or proportion in order to perform properly. Anyone that advocates a single fix-you-up-pill or less nutrients
than noted is profit driven, misinformed and/or deluded.
We cannot emphasize enough the complexities of nature that man cannot unravel in this day and age.
But, we do not need to understand everything, because we cannot. As noted, there is still much that is not known,
and probably never will be known about the relationships between diet and health in this generation's lifetime.
Fortunately, however with a bit of common sense, people can still be well nourished even though the understanding
of nutritional science may be incomplete at present.
Acknowledge to yourself the obvious, THINK. We all know or have known of someone suffering through some
quality of life robbing degenerative disease or who has prematurely passed on, notwithstanding they are/were
taking the fix-you-up-pills that were subsequently recalled. Tens of millions of consumers have taken at least one of
several drugs withdrawn from the market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_recall
Practicing preventive care should be your priority. Taking drugs should be your last resort. For those who choose
to continue on their present path, a borrowed phrase from a poem by Thomas Grey is apt---“where ignorance is
bliss, tis folly to be wise,” Conversely, “a smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise man thinks and learns
from the mistakes of others.” Look at the history, being ignorant for bliss and or smart is not an option here people,
we must be wise.
