I do believe there are a lot of cures out there that we don't know. I also believe there are a lot of causes out there we don't know. A small for instance is I've been telling people for 40 years that fake sugar is poison. And just recently the medical community concurs. Ridiculous.
Debeda, I believe you 100%. These sugar substitutes literally shut my brain down. Real sugar from sugarcane or corm syrup or beets is necessary to relay electrical impulses from our nerves to our brains. In fact, fats are also very necessary to coat our raw nerves. The recommendations coming from HHS are notoriously wrong on diets and nutrition.
If people have trouble with alcohol, (that's another story that often occurs from ciguatera fish toxins) then cook the sugar. I live on boiled lemon tea with sugar.
Fish toxins are undetectable with current medical tests, but I strongly suspect they are responsible for multiple sclerosis and ALS since the chairman of the National MS Society, Dr. Byron Waksman, was also employed at the fish biological research center at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Byron Waksman writes in his book: "Research on Multiple Sclerosis" that there are several components to the MS disease, including Lyme Disease.
Being a bit suspicious of our medical community and the government, I suspect no public attention is made to the fish toxins, red tides, green algae blooms (Demonic Acid), and shell fish poisons since they have uses in military truth serums. Both Drs Byron Waksman and his father Selman Waksman were working for the US Army Medical Corp during WWII and possibly afterwards so they would not be so open with their own research.
But think back in human history how our ancestors beat it through droughts, famines, ice ages, wars and plagues. What did they know that we don't know now? Take a look at each civilization's cooking heritage from the Old World to the New World and the preservatives they used for their food: tea, tannic acid, sugars, salt, spices such as cinnamon from tree barks, citric acid, vinegar for pickling, iodine in kelp and zinc in potato skins as an antibiotic and chelator to combine with toxins. The native American Indians used honey and maple sugar to preserve sausages, as well as sweet potatoes (a source or cortisone) to fight autoimmune diseases.
And today, we have the Internet, courtesy of Al Gore (snicker) where we can more readily share our knowledge. And, once we rid ourselves of mental dependency on the pessimistic government healthcare, we may advance science to its fullest potential in the private sector. There have been more discoveries in science over the past 200 years since the American Revolution freeing people to think and research than the past 100,000 years of human serfdom and slavery. This is not the time for suicide, but the time to be most optimistic.
Go for the goodies: sugar, caffeine, and nicotine - candy, coffee and cigarettes (if not in tobacco, eat tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage family and peppers) that built this nation. Just cook everything and kill it first. I pray to God that you are married to a good cook!
