To this Low-Carber Forum
My name is Peter singfield;
I live in Xaibe Village -- corozal District -- Belize -- Central America.
My work is "medicine" -- part traditional -- part very scientific.
I believe I have left "tracks" all about the WWW for the past ten years --
Google "Peter Belize"
First question --
I am on very slow and expensive dial up -- it there a way this can all be done by Email communications like conventional mail lists do??
Else -- I will not be able to continue for long.
I am not over weight -- I live a paleo diet -- Yucatec Mayan.
There is so much I can tell you -- explain to you --
My interest is a strange one.
Many the ancient Mayan therapy does not work well on North Americans -- probably because their diet has so messed up their immune functions.
I have developed over the years -- a regimen of eating that solves this problem.
The posting:
The Real Paleo Diet: Reflections On The True Essence Of The Paleo Diet
By "Hunterman" -- turned up on a search I was doing.
Hunterman -- your close but you miss the real point:
"what I'm saying is different things work for different people"
The first difference is racial -- the second is cultural.
Edger Casey once said:
Eat nothing but what your great Grandfather ate -- and nothing from more than 50 miles from where he lived.
He stated that in the 1930's -- today it is better stated:
Eat nothing but what your ancestors ate in 1850 -- and nothing from more than 50 miles from where they lived.
Mostly -- Humans did not travel much -- so generation after generation -- was spent in one location -- always eating the same diet -- produced and prepared in the same manner.
When the Europeans extended their empire to the Americas they brought their foods -- their preparation methology -- along with them.
Our digestive systems evolved over thousands of generations. What is food for one tribe of man can often be poison for another.
Food allergies are endemic inter-species -- intercultural -- as a result.
All plants have natural insecticides -- natural herbicides -- etc. That are toxic in some manner to species of animals eating them -- that have not evolved tolerance.
Tolerance is evolved though many generations.
That only the beginning!!
Some foods type are much more universally tolerated between species and cultures -- corn -- meats --
Others not so well -- wheat and grains -- milk -- sugars
Food preparation is also important -- species not tolerant to milk can be tolerant to yogurt.
Species not tolerant to grains -- can be tolerant to beers brewed from grains.
I label these as cultural food transmutation processes -- and this is quite important to a diet that leads to health and well being.
"Green" Corn (Corn on the cob) or dry corn grain is not healthy -- but alkalized corn served as tortilla is a super food.
So we read how healthy the THE HUNZA PEOPLE were -- and all due to their unchanging diet and food preparation systems.

But it is false mentality to believe that same diet and system will work for you -- think -- would it make the Eskimo healthier and live longer?
The Hunza ate much grains -- and meat only once per month.
The Eskimo ate almost nothing but meat and fats -- and never any grains at all.
Further -- dietary adjunctives are extremely important.
The Eskimo ate fresh live maggots they cultured in rotting meat -- they ate the rotten meat (thus food transmuted) and the live maggots (dietary adjunctive)
The Maya lived in a stable civilized manner for probably greater than 7000 years -- and during that course -- adapted many excellent adjunctives to their diet.
I have spent a large part of my life researching those -- plus through trial and error -- finding those that can well be used by my blood line --
Which is:
European Visigoth descendancey -- all Europeans and the UK have Visigoth blood -- the dark ages --
We do not really know what the Visigoth diet was??
Anyway -- what works for me probably works for many on this list -- plus I have learned what works for many other species and cultures as well -- being that Belize is such a mixing pot.
My specialty is researching dietary adjunctives -- specifically of Mayan origins -- but have also learned many other cultural ones as well.
I believe modern medical science spends to much effort on studying diseases -- and no where near enough studying "health" --
Want an adjunctive that works for european blooded and is well mentioned in the bible??
Drink only watered wine -- one part wine -- four parts water.
Another -- even but just two spoons of vinegar -- live culture -- per day.
Gut ecosystem -- gut "flora" -- probiotics -- us so very important -- and one shoe does not fit all species!!
85% of Belizeans are by genetics allergic to milk -- yet the government promotes drinking of milk and a dairy industry.
That is my favorite example of how modern life style corrupts modern diets -- modern life style being programming of the people by mass media to make a buck!!
Don't even get me started on oils and fats!! Natural and of species specific kinds -- vs modern hydrogenated oils (pure poison to the body -- and fad oils such as flax seed -- corn oil -- etc - -which were never part of any ancestral diets.
Soybean oils contain molecules that mimic our hormone -- ergo -- pseudo hormones -- and that really messes up our systems.
The Chinese learned to transmute it to a safe food -- tofu -- fermented soybean sauce -- etc.
Americans mostly use soybean oil as is -- but even worse -- hydrogenated --
Makes a good automatic transmission fluid -- but a terribly poisonous source of lipids -- and lipids be so extremely important in the diet of Eskimos and euro blooded -- though maybe not so much for the Hunza people -- who can do without -- or mostly so -- or have their own traditional lipid source -- probably "butter"
My point is this ---
To conquer obesity problems one may have to go well beyond food restriction -- or fad dieting -- or one shoe fits all.
It is a many facetted problem.
Thanks -- Peter
