If you REALLY know what’s good for you…

One of the reasons I am grateful for the internet is
that it is getting easier and easier for the “average”
person to get answers to the questionable, rather
than having to settle for what is presented to them.
I remember before the Internet came to be, and it
seemed like most people accepted what they saw
on TV or heard on the radio or read in the newspaper
as the best and most accurate information of the day.
After all, the people in these industries were professional.
Their very livelihood depended on them doing their research,
getting their facts straight and being thorough & truthful.
And we could believe them because they were sitting
there in front of us – presenting the facts, without bias.

Right?

And good parents fed their kids Wheaties, because
there was a picture of a Gold Medal Winner on the box,
which made it good. And they said it was good on TV.
Again – it had to be true because a famous person
said it was on the container, and famous people
know more than the average person, otherwise
they’d just be normal – and not on a box!
Special people. More smarter

And smarter people go to school and get degrees,
which gives them a Higher Education from which
they can look down upon the average people and
tell them what they should and shouldn’t be doing.
Which they do, because… why wouldn’t they?
I mean – the person with the extra letters after their
name or a fancy plaque on a wall knows better. Duh.

Fast forward to today where virtually anyone
can hop online and within minutes has access
to answers outside of the narrow channels of media.
A person can actually study topics written by those who
have firsthand experience and knowledge on nearly every
subject imaginable – untainted by the bias or agenda of those
parties that would censor and twist the facts to suit their needs.

Of course, with this incredible power
comes immense responsibility.

When you realize that so much of what you have learned
has been a manipulation of truths peppered with lies.
Hang on.  That was a bit strong. Lies – that word.
I’ll try to find a different word that means the ommission
of truth with false information presented in its place.
For now for the sake of brevity, let’s use the word “lie”.

So, once we discover that a great deal of our Life
revolves around various lies we’ve believed for
generation after generation, as well as others
that have more recently been exposed,
this is incredibly powerful.

This means that we don’t have to follow in the
ruts of deceipt and follow the mainstream.
We can actually create a healthy Life
for ourselves and our families;
physically, mentally and spiritually.

We can be free thinking as
opposed to forced thinking!

Yet again – with great power
comes great responsibility.
And if you choose to ignore the Truth that IS
and settle for the beliefs that are most popular,
you have only yourself to blame in the end
for the rough road that lies ahead.

Allow me this simple example.
Wheaties for breakfast.  Breakfast of champions!

Just for fun, go through each of the ingredients on the box.
Like this (I think most of them are listed):

Wheat Whole Grain
Sugar
Salt
Corn Syrup
Trisodium Phosphate
BHT
Vitamins & Minerals
Zinc
Iron
Niacinamide Vitamin B3
Sodium Ascorbate Vitamin C
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride HCl
Riboflavin Vitamin B2
Thiamine Mononitrate Vitamin B1
Vitamin A Palmitate
Folic Acid Vitamin B9
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D

OK.
Not a very long list by most processed food standards.
I see primarily whole grain wheat listed first, which is
supposed to mean that is the primary ingredient.
So, think gluten. Got it?  OK good. Now add GMO,
because most of the wheat on the market is.
You’ll have to dig further than commercials and ABC
news to learn the whole truth & nothing but the truth.
In the meantime, next ingredient is SUGAR.
Just what the doctor ordered, right?
It seems like even the mainstream media
is catching on to the dangers of sugar.
Next up – SALT!  We don’t hear much these days
about how high levels of salt/sodium affect us.
Yet like most things – just because it’s dropped off
of the top 10 health impacting ingredients doesn’t
mean it’s become miraculously good for us.
Speaking of good for us (NOT!) – Corn syrup.
Chalk this one up to another form of sugar,
and we need more of that like we
need another hole in the head!
Moving on – Trisodium phosphate.
Wikipedia says; “… used as cleaning agent,
lubricant, food additive, stain remover and degreaser.”
Mmmmm…. Yummy, right?

Let’s jump down to the part where the “vitamins” are.
Vitamins are good for us – can’t argue with that, right?

Well…. if you only go by commercials & other
marketing media, then of course not.
BUT… if you actually investigated true vitamins
and minerals as opposed to words that SOUND
like vitamins & minerals, you will come to the Truth.

When most people read labels, they will see
something like “Sodium Ascorbate Vitamin C”
as Vitamin C, and vitamin C is good for us.
And they move on to the next item.
HOLD IT !
Just because it has the word vitamin C in it,  doesn’t
mean it is the same vitamin C your body needs.
Real vitamin C is a comprehensive matrix of many
nutrients and natural compounds such as bioflavonoids,
co-enzymes and unique cofactors that help our bodies
absorb and utilize vitamin C effectively. Scientists now
know that vitamin C isolates such as ascorbic acid
DO NOT provide the health benefits that whole food
forms of vitamin C do. Unfortunately, nearly all the
dietary supplements marketed as vitamin C these
days are synthetic isolates, made with genetically
modified (GMO) corn from factories in China.

The key is paying attention to what the TRUTH is
instead of bits & pieces of facts pretending to be true.

Really, this is just one example (I don’t have time to
go through the rest of the ingredients) of something
that we believe to be a harmless, acceptable thing,
yet when broken down to its true form – is truly not.

So what do you do when your view of reality
is suddenly shifted to where you see things
as they are – not as they are presented?

Do you stick your head in the sands of denial?
Do you merely shake it off as an inconvenient truth,
doing nothing because the ramifications would alter
Life as you know it more than you’re willing to deal with?

This is powerful – this is probably the most powerful
yet terrifying thing I may ever present to you, because
this puts your Life and your future squarely in your hands.

This is you – holding your beating heart in your hands,
suddenly aware that you really are in control of your Life.

And now you really need to determine if my words
will roll off your back like water off a duck, or if
what I have said will stick enough to warrant
your being present and aware of what you
introduce to your mind & body at all times,
and what the effects can and will be.

That’s heavy.
It’s not a Frosted Flake – sugar coated & gggrrrreat!

It means hard work ahead and many people close
to you will believe you to be foolish or radical when
you decide to put the hammer down on accepting
what society has been led to believe is good for them.

What I have not included because it is still in the making
is what lies in store for you if you continue meandering
down the path of least resistance and accepting the
status quo for your life.  I’ll give you a hint, though.
Do you know why, in spite of billions of dollars being
spent to “cure” cancer and other such ailments over
the years, that the statistics continue to rise?

Because we are creating bodies that are a
breeding ground for disease and cancer -
just by following a lifestyle that is “normal”.

Stop being normal.
It’s killing you.
