Just to throw my 2 cents worth in. I know that there are a lot of
supplements out there that are good for me but I’m just resistant to spending
the time and the money. Somehow I don’t think that hunter-gathers walked
around with a pouch full of pills and liquids to supplement their diets.
I’ve found that by following the ER4YT diet, having a good source of vitamin
C and minerals, occasional flaxseed oil, and using deflect that I’m pretty
healthy.
In 4 years I’ve come from being in the CCU with heart failure and being
prescribed a bag full of medicine to cutting out all but 3 daily meds and
tripling the output of my heart. I completely attribute my improved health
to this diet and not smoking. It is an amazing diet.
I had to fight my doctors tooth and nail to get off of some of the meds and
not follow the AMA diet. Had I listened to my doctors, I’d probably be dead
by now or gravely ill. In fact, they seemed a little puzzled (and maybe a
little annoyed) that I was doing so well. They couldn’t explain it because,
you see, I was supposed to get worse not better. 18 months ago, they were
talking about a heart transplant and today they’re just baffled. Well, I’m
not baffled. I’m informed. ER4YT works. I’m hoping that at my next
checkup, I can get completely off of all of my meds.
I am all for naturopaths and homeopaths because they study wellness and the
individuals overall health instead of simply treating symptoms. Each of us
must be treated individually. To me, blanket diets or treatments just aren’t
specific enough. We are our own best doctors and dietitians Our bodies tell
us what’s good and what’s not. We just need to listen.
I find all of these posts to be very informative and want to thank you
(including Ryan, Tom, Thomas, Axel, Emmi, Hilda, etc) all for taking the time
to enlighten me. Thanks Thomas for having a website that’s ER4YT friendly.

.Max. that’s about the longest letter from you in a long time. LOL
I’m so glad you are doing well. I have 2 BILs that have been really ill with
heartprobs , bypasses etc. but they just are not interested. I guess, if their
wifes are not willing to do the diet, they just can’t seem to go it on their
own. Like they say, you can lead a horse to the water…
Keep up the good work and stay well,

I agree completely. I must say that my alliopathic doctors saved my life.
They were brilliant and caring. There is no confusion there. Where I think
they really blow it is AFTER they save your life. They stabilize you and
wait for the next set of symptoms. This works like a series of temporary
fixes. Unfortunately for them, we want to live more than 5 years. They live
on twinkies. What do they know about diet? They have their heads down and
only look at their specialty. Even general MDs feel compelled to load you up
with pills just because…I went to the doctor a while back and we came to
the conclusion that I probably had shingles and I needed to see an eye
doctor. He still gave me a handful of pills and prescriptions “just in case”
it was a sinus cold—LOL.

I have friends and relatives who have watched me struggle and recover and
they’ve inquired about the diet. The minute they have to give up their Big
Macs or their coffee they shut off and start looking for the next fad diet.
There’s a new anti-depressant out there that’s supposed to help you lose
weight and the women I know are just flocking to it. Oh well…

Tom, I have to agree on one point, those hunter-gatherers of old did rarely live
beyond 45. Some of us have that beat by quite a bit.

That comment made me think about a course I once took at the local
University. The professor was involved in a dig at a local Native Indian
burial ground. He brought in some of the results of the dig and according to
him most of the Indians had died at about 35 or so with severe
ostio-arthritis (spelling?) and very few teeth. Certainly burst my bubble
about the fleet-footed Brave running through the woods hunting and gathering.

<< While Hunter-Gatherers may not have walked around with bottles of
supplements, lets not forget that they didn’t tend to live too long for
many reasons and if they’d had access and trust, I bet they would have
loved to have the assistance of useful supplements
some of these groups of people lived quite extended lives if they were in
lands of plenty and avoided fatal accident? Haven’t they found ancient
Mongolians, South and North American Indians, and Egyptians who lived well
into their 80s who were reasonably healthy in their old age? Most people
died young from disease, accident, or being something’s lunch. I also
believe that we continue to underrate our ancestors and that they did have
occasional supplements and medications. On the contrary, I think we’ve
actually stepped backwards with our food sources, supplements, and health
habits compared to our ancestors. Please don’t misunderstand. I wasn’t
proposing that we exchange places. I was alluding to the diet and
constitution I’ve inherited. Of course, I might want to exchange their food
sources that were probably much purer and healthier.
I agree that by all means take supplements when you need them. I certainly
do. I just don’t believe that a healthy person who eats properly needs a lot
of daily supplements. I have friends who went crazy during the megavitamin
era 30 years ago and have gravely damaged their bodies. I imagine that the
lettuce and crackers diet (vegan) didn’t help either. My fear with
supplements is the same as with food. We are a profit driven society and
that colors our perception of what’s good to sell vs what’ll get by. How do
we know that the “filler” materials used to make the tablet aren’t
contaminated or that proper diligence and care has been taken while making
the supplements? Oh gee Max, go to a good company to buy your products.
Like Proctor and Gamble, Gerber, Kraft, etc.? They’ve all had contaminated
foods taken off of the shelves. I’ve tried very hard to minimize eating
anything processed and supplements are all processed unless you chew the
leaves or eat the root. The more different things I eat or take daily the
more is the probability that I’ll consume something contaminated (again).
I’m just trying to stay as simple as I can with my diet. I really envy you
folks who are on farms and can grow, raise, and eat your own food.
