Decision Day 2014… where do you stand?

Here it is, the time when we start digging in deep to your lives. Whether you like it or not, its time for you to realize that your decisions need to change. Join me, or simply watch me from afar hollering my lungs out, begging you to reconsider your ways. Its funny, my wife thinks that long term my calling will pull me from chiropractic into ministry. But I love using guilt as a means of motivation in health, but I hate the use of guilt in ministry. So I don’t know how I could ever make that change. Nonetheless, […]

Blueberry Pie causes SERIOUS allergic reaction… Antibiotics blamed.

This is a straight re-print. Click the link at the bottom to read the whole article… FROM NBC NEWS – Antibiotics Suspected in Girl’s Allergic Reaction to Blueberry Pie A girl in Canada experienced an unusual allergic reaction to blueberry pie — she was not allergic to any of the pie’s ingredients, but instead reacted to antibiotic residue in the food, a new study suggests. Shortly after eating blueberry pie, the girl experienced facial flushing, hives and abnormal breathing. She was taken to an emergency room, treated with drugs used for allergic reactions, and recovered. Although the patient was allergic to […]

How to come OFF of the Straight 60…

Coming off of the Straight 60 (60 Day Turnaround) is just as hard as starting it. Well, harder. If you want to do it right that is. I say this because actually starting isn’t that bad, you get motivated, you start. I have people do it all the time. But coming off of it, well, most come off before they plan, by simply cheating and quitting. My goal is to be sure that IS NOT you! However, coming off of it, if you want to truly maintain the value that you have achieved through your strict diet, is important. The […]

Silver for bacterial fight

This is an interesting tid-bit of an article from Mercola – I am going to drop you right into the middle of it, so this is going to be rocky at first, but it will smooth out. The point that I want to make, I am VERY cautious with supplementation (see Supplements and Chemicals), and I prefer to NOT treat anything, before the idea of treating anything. I honestly believe treatment, in most cases, is our inability to trust God’s body created divinely and gifted to us. So, this article stems from my inclusion of silver in my recommendation, and […]

Week 8 – The first 60

I’ve done it, well almost. I only have a few more days until I’ve completed the straight 60. I’m excited and looking forward to that end date, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, and looking forward to doing it again. I realize that probably sounds crazy, that I’m at the end, and looking forward to doing it more. Well, I still have work to do and this is the best way that I know of to get there. I’m taking a short break from the diet, about a week (which lines up perfectly with fall break). If you remember one […]

Soy and Breast Cancer

Today’s Daily Sprout is one big re-print of the article here at the Daily Mail – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2745067/Could-soy-cause-breast-cancer-spread-Protein-speed-growth-disease-study-finds.html This article fits well with what I have said for years about soy. Here it is – Could soy cause breast cancer to spread? Protein found to speed up growth of the disease, study finds New York researchers found high levels of soy protein genistein could accelerate the progression of breast cancer cells Study examined women already diagnosed and being treated for the disease Did not look at the effects for women not yet diagnosed or prevention Adding soy to your diet could speed […]

Thank you for Near Blindness

A good friend of mine (well we are good friends in that even though we don’t talk much, we could easily have deep conversations that cover much ground) had a chance to preach from the main stage of NorthPoint Community Church today (Sunday). This is a big deal, how many people will hear him speak? I would guess it is upwards of 60,000, that is the reach of Northpoint church these days (30,000+ in seats and its equal via internet and other broadcasts). He started the sermon with a little bit of nervousness in his voice… how could you avoid […]

Week 7

A few things on my mind this week. The first pertains to the purpose of this 60 day turn-around. I’ve said many times its not about the weight, but about pursuing health. Its hard for me to stay focused on that because, thankfully, I was not expressing any symptoms of my unhealthy lifestyle, besides being overweight. So, when I think about this diet, and its ability to to promote health and proper function, I always think about my grandma. She is 90 years old. She has type II diabetes. She had been on medication for it for quite some time. […]

The Straight 60 – The Rules

Simple Guideline of the RULES of the 60 Day Turnaround. The purpose of the 60 DAYS is to remove the rule set, and be left with the reasons why. The knowledge of WHY we choose a specific diet is more important than the diet. This is not Paleo, I am not “for” Paleo given that I believe in Creation it immediately removes my ability to philosophically believe in paleo. The Sugar Rule We want to avoid all things that are sugar, or easily turn to sugar: 1. Sugar 2. Honey, Agave, Maple Syrup 3. High Glycemic fruits, or any fruit […]
