This kid knows his stuff and he sees through the advertising hype to the truth underneath.

He is also right that you can pay the farmer a little or the hospital a lot more because our food supply is making us sick. Most modern disease comes from what we eat. I have two pieces of advice,

1. to change the source of your food from the factory to the local organic farms, and

2. because most will not be able to change, you may as well cash in on their misfortune and invest in health care stocks, they have a constant stream of patients continuously being developed.

Learn everything you can about your own food supply as if your life depended on it because it does. Now that the sources of most of our food and our health care have gone corporate they have not been being fully honest with us and it is up to us to protect our own interests.

You can be certain they are looking out for their interests.

Yes, it does sound cynical but then one needs to be a little cynical these days since things ain't like they used to be.

Two questions for you, notherbob. Which university did you attend? And how old are you?

I'm 72 and we were so poor when I was young that college was not an option and even had to turn down an athletic sponsorship at Nebraska and get a job. IF I wanted to learn about anything I just spent hours at the library and so I became a self-uneducated man

What I love about the internet is that you can learn about anything you want. If you will Google Dr. Mercola and see the information he and others in the organic movement present you will understand that the things this kid is saying are true.

I was using your age as an example of how leading a healthy lifestyle can lead you to the fountain of youth. You once said you still look sort of sexy. I admire that.

Even though I went to a university, I consider myself mostly self-educated. They just teach you a good base. As my professor once said, you take what you want to remember and leave the rest behind. But always be a learner.

Oh, and I thought you went to A@M for some time. Or maybe just spent some time learning about agriculture there, and garlic.

Great post, seen this before.

Great post, seen this before.

Thanks. I think people get annoyed with it. But the kid is telling the truth. Number one, we need to be healthier. Number two, let's not make our health dependent on Wall Street. Number three, free will means you have a better chance at being healthy. But understanding how you do that is key.

And what this kid is really saying is beyond words in describing its importance. Plus, it's a kid with some talent. That's always a cool thing.

Why? What happened to lead your own life your way? When did it become law we have to live a certain way?

It's ok if you don't want to. But I like that a kid can get excited about some things. I had to start thinking about my health this past July and August when I was hospitalized mostly for the way I was eating. And I don't look that unhealthy, really. I'm 35 and look pretty good. But my health was in the gutter.....

way to ignore everything than jump on the wagon when things got bad in a hurry. Kind of like that Bayer commerical "i never thought id have a heart attack" Again, way to ignore even the basic health advice, but thats people for you.


Btw, welcome to 35 now watch your health. Good luck to you.

Wow, people really are piling on me. I have an IBD. But anyway, it's not about ignoring what I eat. It's that some foods--even healthy ones-- cause flare ups that can put you in the hospital.

Way to ignore the facts. Moreover, way to jump to conclusions.

Oh, and I thought you went to A&M for some time. Or maybe just spent some time learning about agriculture there, and garlic.

Nope, no A&M. They have a very strong bunch of horticulturists in everything but garlic, it's a complete blank for them. They receive very large contributions from big chemical companies and are heavily tied into chemical agriculture and big agribusiness and are not very open to the idea of small family farms and organic growing.

I don't take sides in the Aggie-teasipper wars and I have nothing against them and they do a lot of good things.

What was that link then where you wrote about listening to Dr.'s, about medical research about garlic. You sat in the room and took notes? Or am I thinking of someone else? I agree about Aggies and organics, but the idea is not lost on us tea sips.

This kid is reading a script, he doesn't really know what he's talking about.

I fail to see the humor in it, mostly because I already stated it wasn't my diet that caused my disease, per se. I admit I wasn't eating the best diet at one point, but the Dr. swears it was not caused by diet. I have had luck controlling the symptoms with diet though. I guess I fail to see the humor in others illness or suffering. But that's just me.

i think he was more laughing at my posts but again fail to see the humor, also dont see any humor in what you went thru, i was just unaware of what you went thru and you took offense to it. But thats all of us anyway.

That was in Tulsa at OSU's local campus Where I was invited to attend a series of symposia where the most accomplished people in the world doing research into garlic were invited for lectures and discussions. It was the only series of meetings ever held among these widespread authorities on the subject.

I was the only one there who didn't have at least one doctorate degree and this is where I learned more about garlic than I could possibly have learned in any university. I was invited not because of my knowledge but because I have the most popular garlic website on the net. My job was to learn all I could so I could disseminate this little understood science to the world and explain how it works.

Once I understood generally how it all works I could see lots of ways this science could cure lots of diseases when used in different ways - there's more to it than eating it. I am now helping people to discover how they can treat themselves to cure MRSA and many other resistant forms of bacteria that are costing people billions. I'm not a doctor so I do not charge anyone any fees.

There's even a special way to use garlic to fight cancer and people who eat garlic get less cancer to begin with and that's a statistical fact. In the coming months and years I will be publishing online as many of these curing ways as I have time to deal with.

Yes, it is odorous, inelegant and unsophisticated and very effective when used properly.

I doubt I will make much money from all this as I intend to place all this information into the public sector of folk medicine and everyone can use the information for free to treat themselves or not as they see fit. Such as it is, that is my contribution that will stay behind when I go on to what is next.

I have to stop this post now because it could go on all day but you get the point, I'm a man on a smelly mission.

The humor is in getting pissing by someone saying we need to eat healthier but then coming right back and saying "now watch your health".

Throw on top the "I'll live how I want" sentiment and then trying to pin someone else for "ignoring basic advice".
