"If you want it, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse." -Sunjay Gupta

Thanks for visiting and having me as a Peacekeeper.

The following formula works well for long term health and success:

Diet in a Banana Peel 

Eat a raw frugivore diet where most carbohydrates and calories come from whole raw ripe sweet and juicy fruits like oranges, papaya, or mangoes, supplemented with about ½-2 heads of lettuce greens a day (not kale, chard, and spinach) and about a handful of raw nuts or seeds a day. Eat simple meals but a rainbow of foods over a period of time.  

Eat enough on a daily basis with at least 2500 calories for females and at least 3000 calories for males.  Drink 2-4 quarts of water a day and pee clear. Get 8-12 hours of sleep as needed. Exercise about 30 minutes a day 5-6 days a week with at least one day off for rest and repairs.  Get about 30 minutes of sunshine a day on your skin for vitamin D, mental health, eye health, and healthy bones and teeth.

What PK can do for you:

I am not a doctor, and legally, I cannot make diagnoses of diseases and conditions, neither can I prescribe medication.  If you are having a medical emergency or an unknown medical condition and symptoms, please seek professional medical help.  If you have questions about your prescriptions, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.  

What I am qualified to do is assist with patient education.  So if  your doctor has already made a diagnosis, I can discuss with you your disease and symptoms, as well as what medications may have been prescribed and why.  

If you are having symptoms, I can also assist you in what kind of questions to ask your doctor, and in some cases, what kind of things to ask for when going for blood work.  

I am a researcher of natural health maintenance and healing, as well as a human health activist.    I share with you advice that is based on personal experience, experiences of dealing with forum members, my healthcare background, and my ongoing research.  However, these comments are for informational purposes only, and as stated before, if you are having a medical emergency, please seek professional help.  

You are free to ask me questions in the forum and or via pm.  I respect the medical protocols of confidentiality, and things asked via pm will stay private.  Occasionally I reference problems people have had here @30BaD, but I do not mention member names, and I only mention those problems that have already been discussed publicly in the forum. 

I may be able to help your trouble shoot any new symptoms and or digestive upsets you may be having as you start your fruity journey.

Promote a low fat raw vegan diet based on raw fruits and tender leafy greens. 

For evidence of why a low fat fruitarian diet is optimum, read these free ebooks:

THE HEALTH REVOLUTION by ROSS HORNE CH 15: DIET AND NUTRITION

HEALTH & SURVIVAL IN THE 21st CENTURY by Ross Horne

CHAPTER 15 Dieting for Health and Longevity

IMPROVING ON PRITIKIN— YOU CAN DO BETTER   by Ross Horne

(In the 1970s-1980s, Nathan Pritikin promoted a low fat cooked vegan diet that was high in grains and similar to the DrMcDougall program now.  Pritikin had great success with assisting individuals with cardiovascular problems, but not necessarily other degenerative diseases such as arthritis.)

The China Study by T. Colin Campbell

Proves that a plant based diet is the best for human health, and uses scientific data to show the  harm that animal products, dairy products, high fat, and high protein foods, even vegan, can cause to the human body. 

The 80 10 10 Diet By Dr. Douglas Graham

Uses science to prove a low fat raw vegan diet based on raw fruit and tender leafy greens is optimum for human health. A comparison of human and animal anatomy proves why we are not carnivores, grainivores, and herbivores, and that humans are frugivores. 

The World Peace Diet Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony

By Will Tuttle, Ph.D  

Explores the spiritual side of veganism, vegan compassion, and animal ethics and rights, and how what we do to animals can come back and haunt us.  Thus the paradox of "As you stab, so shall you be stabbed" is explored.  As humans exploit, imprison, stab and torture animals, so too do human health issues increase, resulting in bodies being probed and stabbed by the medical establishment.

Encouragement:

Some people will not like your way of life, message, or activism, because your activism disturbs their sleep.  

Be Prepared:

30BaD will separate the grown ups from the juveniles.
