The Critical Senses

Let's start by establishing that our senses were "built" in prehistoric times. Anatomically "modern" senses arrived with anatomically modern humans, some 100,000 years ago. Compare that with the advent of sensory technology, the first lenses were invented about 700 years ago, the first microphones about 175 years ago. Does that mean "nature technology" is way way ahead of homo sapient technology? Yep.

It's interesting that our more critical senses are clustered in a tight group on our head. Look in a mirror sometime and notice that the distance from the eyes to the nostrils is only about 2-3 inches, with the ears right in the center of that narrow range. And all are extremely close to the brain. I think Wall Street would call that a high frequency collocated server lol. And Daniel Kahneman would call it "thinking fast". Which simply means it's an eternity in survival terms before conscious thought occurs in a danger situation, meanwhile our senses, brain, and nervous system automatically leap into defensive action in "nano" seconds.

So it's not a leap to say the primary function of our senses is survival. Romance, art, and beauty come after we can begin to relax a little on the survival front, and the senses are involved in those lovely things too.

But what does any of this have to do with traveling the health highway? Well, assuming you're not about to be food for a predator, the next order of business is to make sure you don't put a toxin in your mouth and swallow. Our sense of taste and smell are excellent in the discrimination between toxin and nutrient.

Or at least they used to be. These days more people die from the consumption of toxic substances than any other reason. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic? Yep, as of this writing, about one year into the pandemic, according to the CDC, 317,000 Americans have died of Covid-19 infection. And 655,00 die every year of heart disease on a continuing rolling basis, year after year. And the number increases every year.

So what happened? When and why did our senses suddenly stop working? Well actually they didn't, but (so called) "food science" discovered you can make a shit load more money selling Mars Bars than food fit for human consumption. It turns out our anatomically modern instinctual blueprint, also 100,000 years old, combined with our senses, are easily fooled into "fast" thinking that toxins are food.

Why is that? Well it's actually very simple, in nature, 100,000 years ago, calories were scarce, and we had to hunt and gather them in wild conditions. (Whole Foods Market came later:) So when we found them we were happy to live another day, and ate until we were satisfied. If we ate "modern" industrial "food like" substances until satisfied we would have, well, exactly what we do have now, the vast majority of "modern" humans being diseased, crippled, and killed by toxic "food like" substances.

Now use this search term in google: "when did medical science recognize heart disease is a diet caused condition?" Crickets. It hasn't happened yet.

Instead we are lulled into thinking stents, statins, beta blockers, vasodilators, and bypass surgery is going to fix us up. It doesn't. At best these slow progression a bit, they certainly don't halt progression. And the dirty little secret is that a simple change of diet reverses heart disease. Let me say that again in case you missed it: reverses heart disease. And if that weren't news worthy enough, the same diet reverses a number of other diseases also, most notably diabetes, which is responsible for 1.6 million deaths yearly. In addition, this diet reduces likelihood of the many cancers by significant levels, and significantly improves or reverses the many autoimmune conditions.

What is this magic diet? Well, it's the one promoted and taught by an activist group in Washington DC called "The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine". These are doctors, clinicians, and researchers fighting an uphill battle against the corrupt and corrosive forces generating huge (and I do mean huge) profits on the development and production of all these "senses fooling" toxic substances, and all the medications, treatments, and procedures that do little to nothing to heal diseases caused by said substances.

Look up PCRM, they are not hard to find:

I also want to thank all the other teachers and promoters of what I have come to call The Disease Reversal Diet, fighting the good fight, boots on the ground, one audience, one individual at a time. In particular my primary mentor Dr. Douglas Graham.
