• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I treated family out and listened to all the conversation. My sister works at Virginia Tech and told of a man whose liver was an absolute mess and the doctor did not know what to do for him. So he fasted for forty days. When he came out of the fast he went back to his doctor to find the liver in great shape. I called her again tonight and wanted to review all of that. Sure enough she gave the same exact story.

In thinking all of that over so much of the food processing must really be unhealthy.

Why a (1) Organic (2) Vegan (3) Calorie-restricted (4) Medium-Chain Triglycerides (5) Raw (6) Alkaline; diet?​

Calorie restriction - Wikipedia

Ketogenic diet - Wikipedia

Raw foodism - Wikipedia

Alkaline diet - Wikipedia

Organic;

(1) Adam and Eve originally ate this diet

(2) God is going to destroy those destroying the Earth, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers kill the soil within 50 years.

(3) It's higher in vitamins and minerals

(4) It's pound per pound per nutritional value cheaper to produce

(5) It doesn't torment animals as conventional meat does

(6) It has no artificial hormones as is found in conventional meat

(7) Pesticides harm animals, poison our water, and food with it damages our neurons

(8) This diet should be able to cure any known disease, including all cancer.

Vegan;

(9) meat mostly rots in your stomach and causes colon cancer

(10) meat only has no more than 20% protein, and hemp seed has 33% protein, wheat grass powder has 20% protein etc.,

Calorie-restricted;

(11) may contribute to long-term cardiovascular health and longevity

Medium Chain-Triglycerides;

(12) coconut oil is pro-ketogenic and eating it makes your body have the effect of fasting

Raw;

(13) cooking creates toxins and denatures proteins

(14) it's better for your digestion

Alkiline;

(15) may prevent kidney stones and urinary tract infection and cancer

This feels dubious since so much context is missing.
Anecdotes are a blessing to fiction and a blunder to science.

(Excuse the questionable grammar, but I always adore abundant alliteration.)

maybe he should take drugs and do surgery instead

so much for your 'science'
Science is based upon statististically significant quantities of qualified data, not one-off stories lacking, as @Warden_of_the_Storm observed, no meaningful context. Your inability to understand this goes a long way to explaining a great deal about your peculiar beliefs.

What an absolute load of horse excrement.

Hey, 100% of people who have cancer drink water. Ergo, water is the leading cause of cancer!

what I am arguing is that drugs and surgery are unnessary and based on a commercial system specifically designed to make money while supposedly healing them.

what is your rebuttal?

It is often the case that when people speak in absolutes their words can be ignored with little risk of bad consequences. No amount of attention to diet will preserve my life in the event of a chain saw accident that severs my left arm. No dietary variants did anything for the impact of ADHD on my grandson's schooling, yet within a year of being administered drugs he'd moved from a year behind average scholastic level to a year ahead. (That's an anecdote, but one that mirrors the results of multiple peer reviewed studies)

We should use a blend of diet, exercise, general lifestyle, drugs and surgery to address health and wellbeing. And, if you are given to pray, pray that the US changes its predatory health care system to one that works without destroying lives. But to do that the population will have to learn that social medicine is not an obscene phrase.

Has your grandson ever meditated? such as listening to binaural beats of 4Hz and brownian noise? while attempting to quite the mind?

as a similar example; "Transcendental Meditation (TM) is widely researched as a non-pharmaceutical intervention for ADHD, with studies suggesting it can reduce symptoms by 50% or more, improve focus, and lower stress/anxiety. Unlike meditation methods requiring concentration, TM is considered effortless and suitable for ADHD, increasing blood flow to the brain's prefrontal cortex."-Google AI

this can at least reduce the amount of drugs your grandson is taking (which otherwise usually have long term adverse effects)
