Destroying Rain Forest for Palm Oil

Greenpeace Report Links Nestlé to Rainforest Destruction - Everything that is bad for human health is also bad for the environment. Vegetable oils like palm oil are just one of the many things that destroys the environment and human health.

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn reversed heart disease, but he had to get all of his patients off of vegetable oils to do so. This is why any vegan out there can die of heart disease because vegetable oils destroy the arteries like cigarette smoking destroys the lungs.

Dr. Esselstyn told me on the phone that every single high fat meal damages the endothelial cells in our arteries and that damage can be seen with medical diagnostic equipment for up to 4 hours after a meal. Do this for 30 years and your arteries will not be able to function like they are supposed to?

We should all work at limiting proccessed food in our diet and boycotting palm oil to save our rainforests from destruction and to improve our quality of life.

The bible asked us to love ourselves and that entails taking care of our bodies and our health. You can't love yourself and destroy your health at the same time.

Humans haven't listened to this simple message and as a result have turned places like the Sahara Forest into the Sahara desert. We have continued to do things that are bad for our health and the planet's health and eventually the planet will exterminate us if we keep it up.

Forks Over Knives - New Documentary Coming This Summer!!!

My uncle died of a heart attack at 37 and my mother died of cancer at age 44. It is criminal that our government is subsidizing foods that cause disease right now.

Why does our government choose to subsidize foods that cause heart disease and cancer?

Why is the government subsidizing foods that are turning this country into a gigantic desert?

Why is the government subsidizing foods that are making our health care system more expensive than any health care system in the world?

The world needs to see this movie so we can regain our sanity as a culture. How much longer can we poison ourselves at every single meal? The American suicide diet is just not sustainable. There are not enough resources for Americans to eat this food for too many more decades.

Forks Over Knives - Movie Trailer - Watch the trailer for the new documentary Forks Over Knives coming out this summer.

Beyond Beef - Destroying the World One Bite At a Time

Escapism. So many of us are spending every second trying to escape reality through television, movies, video games, ipods, and an endless amount of distractions.

We spend so much time doing this that many of us aren't educated about what we can do as individuals to make this a better world for those around us and future generations.

The sad thing is we are not living mindfully and are not opening our eyes up to the destruction caused by the American lifestyle.

The same thing has been happening for thousands of years. At one time the Sahara desert was actually a forest that was thriving with life. Deforestation and livestock grazing turned that land into the largest desert in the world.

Please read Beyond Beef by Jeremy Rifkin so you can live more mindfully and understand how destructive consuming beef is to the environment. Cattle grazing and growing crops for livestock is the primary cause of deforestation, desertification, species extinction, water depletion, water pollution, topsoil erosion, world hunger, and results in more green house gases than all the vehicles in the world according to the Food and Agriculture division of the United Nations.


Why bring children into this world just to destroy it? Learn how to cook some meals that have zero animal products in them and you will be on your way to reducing our resource consumption. According to one estimate switching to a vegan diet can save up to 300,000 gallons of water per year. Professor David Pimentel found that it takes up to 12,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef and documented this in his book, Ecological Integrity.

I love myself so I don't eat things that clog my arteries. I love myself so I don't eat things like beef that result in this planet being turned into one gigantic Sahara desert.

Hundred Years of Lies

“You are poisoning yourself! Before you eat another bite of food... before you take another pill... you owe it to yourself (and those you love) to read this book!”
—David Rippe,Author of The Flip

“This is a must read for anyone truly interested in a healthier life.”
—Book Sense,The American Bookseller's Association

“The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health, is one of those books that not only needs to be read by every thinking person in America, it also needs to be in the hands of political leaders and policymakers who have been controlled by the very industries that have created the massive health crisis Fitzgerald so clearly exposes.”
—Elissa Meininger,NewsWithViews.com

We have been lied to for over 100 years by the food industry and the medical industry. When my mother passed away from cancer at 44, and my uncle passed away from a heart attack at 37 I was just supposed to blame it on genetics and go on with my life. I was supposed to continue poisoning myself at every meal.

Instead I decided to start reading and I didn't stop. I am still reading about what is going on and I am always learning. Learning about Jack Lalanne really made me think. Here is a guy who is 95 and doesn't have cancer or heart disease. That was one thing that made me realize I had been lied to. For my whole life we were supposed to blame all of our bad diseases on genetics.

Then I read about the Okinawans and the Hunzans that live in disease free societies where nursing homes don't exist.

Eventually I worked my way to The Hundred Year Lie by Randal Fitzgerald. I don't know about you, but I don't like being lied to. I don't care if I am enjoying my bacon double cheeseburger or not...I don't like being told that heart disease and cancer are just bad genetics when that is a LIE.

Read this book and you will be shocked at how things changed in America. How heart disease went from being almost non-existent to being the number one killer. You will see how we traded in our farm grown food for junk food and processed food and then we ended up with the most expensive health care system in human history.

We live in a nation that started off by boycotting goods that didn't fit our ideals. Now each of us can begin to boycott junk food and start to support local farmers as we revolt against one hundred years of lies.

Cross Fit Workouts

Try a Cross Fit Workout. The exercise routines above are some of the examples of Cross Fit workouts.

I really am excited about the simplicity of these workouts and the fact that each workout is supposed to be a different Cross Fit workout.

Our muscles get so weak sometimes by doing the same machines and exercises.

What would our body do if we all of a sudden did 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats?

Find out more about Cross Fit by learning about the various Cross Fit communities across the country. This is becoming the exercise routine for fire men, police men, and the military.

Inside of each one of us is a warrior that is ready for battle. These routines will help us achieve more than we could imagine, and they are based around sprinting run routines. I love sprinting.

Last night I tried a cross fit workout that just felt incredible. I did one set of 25 assisted pull-ups, 1 10mph 400 meter sprint, 1,000 meters rowing, 100 jump ropes, and 25 bosu ball push-ups. I only did two rounds of that but it felt so good.

Gladiators Were Vegan

Gladiators Were Vegan -- John McDougall MD - Ancient gladiators were referred to as the "Barley" men. Watch this video to learn about the Roman Gladiators who followed a vegan diet.



How did these gladiators have such strong bones? It's because they were eating a diet that is natural to the human species. The Roman soldiers followed a similar diet accord to historical records.

No Hunger, No Pollution, No Unemployment - Working Villages

Working Villages - Imagine a village with no pollution, no unemployment, and no hunger. Working Villages uses the principle that Ghandi based his non violent revolution on to create sustainable villages in Africa.

There first village was able to produce over 50,000 lbs of food in one month.

When I think about this project it makes me think about the Tarahumara Indians. The Tarahumara Indians live in a society with no heart disease, diabetes, and cancer is extremely rare. These people follow an ancient way of life that makes them invincible to disease and super human when it comes to running distances of 200 miles and beyond without stopping.

The Tarahumara live simply and eat a diet that is over 90% plant foods. Dr. Fuhrman uses a similar diet based off 90 - 100% plant foods to reverse disease.

Isn't fascinating that the ancient cultures of this world have so much to teach this advanced society? When America was first being explored we spent alot of resources destroying "primitive" societies and now as we move forward into time we are learning that cultures like the Tarahumara have alot more to teach us than we can teach them.

Green For Life - Green Smoothie Every Day!!!

Last night I had a dream that I got a substantial raise. It was pretty fascinating, because I have been saying affirmations for some time about being more financially successful.

The dream let me know that the messages have finally reached my subconscious. That was the whole point of saying affirmations to start changing the direction of my life by consciously choosing different thoughts to repeat out loud.

I love my life so much. I love every day of it. It is such an adventure. There is always another great book to read, or a new exercise to add to my routine, some great event to train for, and wonderful people to work with and for.

I am so thankful for everything in my life. I am thankful that I can wake up in the morning and have a green smoothie made with wild blueberries, organic kale, and bananas after a great one day fast.

Why do I love life so much? I am not sure. I think it might have something to do with eating high nutrient foods like green smoothies, salads, and healthy foods like the Tarahumara eat (beans).

Basically my point is we have life really good. We are very fortunate to have so much abundance in our lives. We can make it even better by choosing better thoughts and making good eating choices.

I recommend Green For Life as a book that I want you out there to read. Try to get it from the library. Chimps share 94% of our genetic code and over half of their diet is green leafy vegetables. If you aren't eating spinach, kale, cabbage, collard greens, bok choy, or some type of green leafy vegetable every day then you are officially crazy.

I repeat: We share 94% of our genetic code with chimps and they don't eat junk food in the wild. Make yourself a green smoothie and find out what you are missing.

If it doesn't taste good it means your blender probably sucks. I got a Vitamix, but the next cheapest high powered blender is Montel William's Health Master blender.

When I taste a green smoothie with those wild blueberries, greens, and bananas blended up I feel like I am in heaven. Nothing I have ever eaten has compared to this taste explosion in my mouth. I have tried to make these smoothies with cheap blenders and they just don't taste as good. I am close to heaven, but still have a couple hundred miles to go.

Invest in your health. Get a Health Master blender if you want to experience something that to me is the most fulfilling and delicious food combination on the planet.

The Fluoride Deception

Deception. Lies. Greed.

Living in a capitalistic society we are surrounded by deception everywhere we go. Our neighbors want to make money off of us so they use sophisticated methods to lie to us.

The lies start when they tell us that dairy products prevent osteoporosis, when the scientific facts show that the countries that consume the most dairy products have the highest rates of osteoporosis.

The simple truth is we allow this to happen. We need to educate ourselves to how corrupt the actual system is and then understand how to use our "boycott" power to support organic farming and a healthier and more sustainable future.

I recommend The Fluoride Deception by Chris Bryson, because it is fascinating and is also very illustrative of how far companies will go. Once we understand how unethical capitalistic greed can get then we have more power over our lives, because we can live more mindfully.

What Would Jack Do? WWJD

According to Jack Lalanne these exercises are the secret to the fountain of youth. I always ask myself, "What would Jack do?" Personally I think Jesus was great and I really dig the whole I will sacrifice myself for a greater cause thing, but the word of Jack is a little more uplifting.

You can check out Jack Lalanne's Hydronastics at http://www.jacklalanne.com/.

We have been spending more time in the pool lately because it is a relaxing way to exercise, but I wanted to get this DVD to get more out of my time in the pool.

Chi Running

Checked Chi Running book and DVD out from the library. I am preparing for my 50 mile run physically and mentally. The mental training is almost more important than the physical training. Every day I repeat to my self:

I am able to run the Wild Idaho 50 mile run faster than
anyone else without any pain or discomfort.

Mentally I know that the Tarahumara Indians are able to run 100 miles without any signs of fatigue or pain. This book has really helped me understand how they are able to do that.

Focusing on my running form is extremely important to my success in this upcoming 50 mile run. I want to run this 50 mile run without any pain or discomfort.

Check this book out if you are interested in learning some great secrets to pain free running. More people are getting running injuries now than ever before in the history of running.

The Tarahumara run distances of 200 miles or more and experience zero running injuries.
