Alex,
Good points. After using herbs and vitamins for a long time, I uncovered
a useful fact within the last few years from my herb lady who is also an
Registered Nurse.
To digest your food properly with your stomach enzymes, you should not drink
water
an hour before and an hour after eating. It really works, but is hard to
schedule correctly
except at the Start of an early day:
water/herbs/vits - 1hr - eat - 1hr - water .... lunch....
water(can exercise any water period) - 1hr - eat... Chamomile before bed to
loosen stoole and makes sleepy too...
And if you exercise, you have to schedule that the same way, as undigested
food is just
processed an hour before or after exercise when your metabolism goes wild
(which is perfect for any water period).
The exercise part I knew before, but the water/eating schedule was
revolutionary to me.
The US food and drug admin are clowns breeding a nation of fast food
supersized saturated fat fries/drinks cows.
Very few people, if any I've ever known, understands that if you don't do
this intake schedule, you are processing undigested
foods as a clogged fecal factory. Just getting off schedule slightly once
your body is matriculated, you can definitely
tell the difference immediately in processing undigested foods (it doesn't
even feel like you've ate at all - the fast food
supersize 'catch').
For that fact alone of breeding ignorance, I would never trust anything the
food and drug in the US says.
Its all just fecal matter (or bs) to me, lol. Try this, it really works even
though it takes a while to adjust to not
drinking while eating (although I may take a swig of coke at the end of a
meal if I am choking because I ate too fast, lol).
And there is virtually NOTHING you can't cure naturally, unless you've been
using prescription drugs for 20 years+.
Doctors spend years learning how to screw you up. Just an herb lady, dental
surgeon, and a good bone cracker if you need one is
all that has ever been needed to maintain health with exercise (physical
and/OR mental) and good posture.

The problem with these studies is that they focus on one thing
without regard to other causes. Like the study that says people in
wine-drinking cultures (Italy and France) live longer, it totally
ignored the fact that those cultures also consume a lot more garlic,
which has been shown to affect longevity in animals.
Squatting vs sitting may be a factor in colon cancer, but there is
also a strong correlation between the incidence of colon cancer
and the amount of red meat in a culture's diet. Asian and African
cultures have a higher proportion of vegetable matter in their diet,
which leads to less meat consumed, and more vegetable fiber leads to
better evacuation of what does get consumed. Vegetarian cultures
have almost no incidence of colon cancer.
Although correlation doesn't imply cause, digesting meat does
produce toxins in the gut. Carnivores have short digestive tracts
to evacuate the toxins quickly. Humans don't; we do have carnivore
traits but our digestive tract is that of a herbivore. It's
reasonable to suppose that the longer human digestive tract results
in longer exposre to the toxins, which get more concentrated by the
time they get to the colon, leading to colon cancer.
No, I'm not a vegetarian (although I tried it for 6 months many
years ago and noticed some interesting health benefits, such as
being able to wear the same shirt more days between washings, and
not stinking up the bathroom when I had to evacuate what I ate). I
found the diet difficult to maintain in our culture, however, so I
gave up.
Furthermore, when in Japan I **NEVER** saw a squat toilet. I saw
them frequently in southeast asia, Algeria, all over eastern Europe,
and southern France. Unfortunately, my ankles don't bend well so
I can't squat without falling over backward. I have to hang onto
something. Seat-toilets work much better for me.
