Health Warningthis presentation could seriously

improve your health

BUT it might also annoy some people a lot

as we question several "permaculture holy legumes" (it turns

out cows are, infact, scientifically significant)

so open mind required!

Now: each generation sicker than the previous

Now seeing the first

generation of children that

will die younger than their parents.

eg. Cancer

"Diseases of Civilization"

Diabetes, depression, obesity, anorexia, Alzheimer's, arthritis, atherosclerosis,

asthma, auto-immune disorders, digestive problems, hormonal

dysregulation & infertility, osteoporosis...

... DON'T EXIST in native cultures (or are v. rare),

also they are taller, better bone structure, bigger brains...

Obesity

"Mental Illnesses"

Graph about Autism, but all mental illnesses keep getting more prevalent: aggression & self-destructive behaviours, depression (and suicide), autism,

schizophrenia, -now early-onset-Alzheimer's and dementia, bipolar disorder...

LOTS of confusion about what is healthy ...

+ what is most compassionate?

Most sustainable?We end up in huge

confusion while farmaceutical profits go through the roof

Illness is Big Business

Pottenger's Cats

Good nutrition is critical for reproduction.

Sickness & deformity transmit & accumulate generationally.

Reproductive Problems

EQUIVALENT? In civilized humans ... apart from fertility

problems, new generations much weaker, deformed, prone to sickness,

hormonal & brain problems ...

And this can best be understood if we think HOLISTICALLY, in joined-up (systemic) thinking: in an Integral way

Nature designed us

AND our environment to match perfectly

for vibrant health.

So what's the Good News?

In the early 1900s 14 tribal groups, 10 years

studied healthiest peoples with good physical development

(dentist: teeth & jaw structure)

found striking similarities in the diets & characters

of the healthiest populations

>> noticed a pattern= principles that have worked

for many generations

Dr. Weston A. Price's Research

Primitive Diet<<< Pyramid

Civilized Diet Pyramid >>>

(introduced in 1992 by the US Department of Agriculture)

HEALTH warning: research all this for yourSelf!

Nature

most calories from animal

foods

least calories from plant

foods

Plants provide:- medicine

(from their chemical defenses & toxins)

... but not much nourishment- MOSTLY food for our gut flora

>> NOW increasingly important (esp. FERMENTED)

and some minerals and vitamins(after much preparation & chewing)

Animals provide:

- nourishmentfor building & maintaining healthy bodies for generations

- calories from fat- proteins for repair & function

- essential vitamins (most essential are fat-soluble)

- bio-available minerals & other co-factors- most nutrient-dense: organs, eggs, seafood (prized foods)

Designers look out for PATTERN, FUNCTION & CRITERIA

omega 6 / omega 3primitive diets: 1 / 1

(grass-fed meat. seafood...)

civilized diets: 10 / 1(grains, legumes, nuts, some meat...)

industrial diets: 50 / 1(vegetable oils, industrial grain-fed meat...)

Seeds are "plant babies" - well protected

Healthy Fats Real Carbs Industrial Carbs Alcohol& stimulants

Our metabolic furnace

Why are (natural) FATS so important?

We're designed to optimally

extract energy from FATS, not sugars

Food Freedom?

"Work with Nature, not against"

Health&Work

If LOTS more herbivores are a solution to climate change

& restoring soils AND healthier humans ...

that is v. good news! = easier WORK

"Everything gardens"

Civilizations are built

on slavery

Food Freedom = Social Freedomfor all the oppressed:

working classes, "developing" countries, women, other species...

Permaculture Design requires a very good

ability to see patterns

(Integral PC emphasizes recognizing 'invisibles' also)

stories (myths, tales) can be very complex models -

mythology, symbolism,

many 'layers'> can GIVE US INSTRUCTIONS

Pa story about "waking up"

from druggie to activist

This is all very "Good Business"

in the Patrix

we are born 'plugged-in', enslaved from birth

& this is precisely what addictions DO& where they start: MOST are food addictions& CAUSED by (esp. infant) malnourishment

healthy native babies & children

eat ...

most civilized babies & children

eat ...

breast milk 'formula' milk

pre-chewed organ meats (esp.liver)

cereal + sugar purees

traditional diets industrial diets

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

(ADHD)Depression

Criminal Behaviour

When the shit hits the fan ...

make a DECISION : reality or illusion

comfort, sleepfight, awakenStep 1

"We admitted we were powerless over our drug ...that our lives had become un-manageable"

AA 12 Steps

When we are healthy ...... our brains are flushed with lots of natural "feel

good chemicals"!

dopamine, oxytocin, endorphin (& other endogenous opioids), GABA, serotonin, adrenaline, endocannabinoids ...

CUSTOM creation, processing & elimination (SELF REGULATING)

our natural state is to be HIGH !

FATS

chol

Mg, I,Zn, Se

Omega 3& Omega 6

+ discharge, sleep, nature, love ...

fed by Nature

Drugs we're addicted to keep us 'asleep' (un-conscious / with impaired judgement)

function: numb out pain, keep us docile

results: numb out joy & intelligence, also

LOTS of types of drugs, same pattern

STIMULANTS, NARCOTICS, entheogens,+all sorts of non-adaptive BEHAVIOURS

eg. c. stress> sugar, c. excercise> dopamine, c. excitement> adrenaline& PATTERNS in general

ALL carbs

&stimulants

Freedom?

death / resurrectioncoffin / crysalis

PLOTS & lots of drugs needed to keep us

as 'willing' slaves to the DC & "in moderation"

problem = solution ?

V. important to understan

d

the SCIENCE of drugs

Stimulants > stress response so raise blood sugar > release pain-numbing chemicals ...

stress, drama, excitement ...

sugar: alcohol, starches ...

tobacco, coffee, chocolate, tea, mate, coca...

all foods you're sensitive to (= irritants + foods you can't digest)

amphetamines, cocaine, crack and some inhalants like amyl or butyl nitrites

Food Freedom?

Narcotics - painkillers, slow down thinking, numb us out, sedative, relax us ...

alcohol (also? raises blood sugar a lot)

opium, heroin, marihuana (in low amounts)

gluten (grains, esp. wheat) > autism& casein (milk) > autism

lettuce, poppy seeds & others (v. mild)

Food Freedom?

Scale of intervention

1.Do nothing

2.Mechanical intervention

3.Biological intervention

4.Chemical intervention

5. Re-design!!

Medicine or Addiction?

Healthy Systems SELF-regulate

it's not about "moderation" !

many many wires ... lots

of fear

How not to be enslaved by our addictions 1.

un-plug / consciousness-raising

a painful birth (there is nothing comfortable in the process of re-gaining consciousness)

How not to be enslaved by our addictions 2.

recuperation phase

muscles, mind, willpower... very weak (never been used ...)

How not to be enslaved by our addictions 3.

empowerment

"Decolonizing OurSelves"

is all about gaining mental & physical freedom

INTEGRAL

Don't ever believe anything we tell you ... >> do OWN Research & EXPERIMENT!

Eliminate:- all drugs- all industrially processed foods (especially hydrogenated & trans fats)- grains & legumes- sugars (and moderate starchy tubers, honey & fruit)

Increase:- real home-made food!- omega 3 fats (fish, grass-fed ruminants)

- healthy fats (lard, butter, unrefined coconut, palm & olive oil, avocados...)

- specially healing foods (chicken soup & bone broth, liver, egg yolks...)

- fermented foods

a truly just 'money-less' society

how vegetarianism could be delaying us getting there

examples of who is doing great work, where

why we need optimum intelligence & fitness to design this CRITICAL transition
