Thanks to millions of dollars in advertising, we have been brainwashed to believe we need meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and milk as the staples of our diet. Due to this, these high fat, high cholesterol, artery clogging “foods” have been accepted as an essential part of the American diet. Ever present is the fact that poultry has been accepted as a “safer” option.
But poultry is filthier than meat and pork. After the chicken or turkey is slaughtered and skinned it is soaked in a bath for cleansing. The problem is that the bath is full of urine, pus, doo-doo and other contaminants from all the others that preceded it.
But fear not. The USDA has said that as long as you cannot see the doo-doo through the clear wrap it is safe to buy and eat. If that’s the case, why do they then say that whatever that chicken or turkey has touched must be boiled to prevent the spread of contamination?
In addition to this profit-driven advertising, federal laws mandate that all schools provide children with milk and flesh at each meal or lose federal funding. This is done despite the fact that 95% of Orientals, 90 % of Blacks and Hispanics, and 75% of white kids suffer from lactose intolerance and cannot digest milk products.
Ignoring these stats because money is more important than health, we find that half of all dairy consumption, approximately 300 pounds a year, comes from cheese, which is nothing more than a super concentrated form of health destroying saturated fat and salt.
Also, we are the only creatures that regularly consume the milk products of other species. Rat’s milk, anyone? From ingesting flesh, eggs and milk, there are no other components in the “modern” diet that causes more pain and suffering, including death and disability, than these products.
Milk proteins are prone to rampant bacterial contamination such as salmonella, listeria, E-coli, staph and the cause of most dairy product re-calls. Dairy products, as with all flesh foods, hold various poisons, including pesticides and other environmental contaminants.
Yes, while pasteurization (cooking it 180 degrees F) might kill a lot of these contaminants, it also kills any traces of any beneficial, if any, nutrients. Let’s not forget that in order to increase milk production, dairy cows are injected with artificial growth hormones. With this comes the increase of insulin-like growth factors that have been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells as well as making a person so big that they can blot out the sun and when they walk down the street. It’s as if you can hear someone singing, “I feel the earth move under my feet…” .
Then there’s the fact that 80% of the antibiotics produced are fed to animals to keep them healthy. The down side to that is that this overload to us of the antibiotics we ingest through the flesh and milk, tends to make us more resistant to the combating of various strains of bacteria when we get hit by them.
What about the environment? Does it matter that the process of raising cattle for milk and meat is a leading contributor to both water and air pollution and very hard on the environment? We seemingly are opposed to the slavery of people but what about the slavery of cows, chickens, pigs, and turkeys? That is a question that only you can answer for yourself.
Everyone thinks that the consumption of fish is good and that fish is a “health food”. I beg to differ. Fish is the muscle of a cold-blooded animal with fins and gills. The major components of fish are fat, with 60% of their calories coming from fat, and protein. There is no carbohydrate, no dietary fiber, or no vitamin C.
Because many fish are high on the food chain, they are highly contaminated with environmental chemicals like PCB’s and mercury. Fish fat is known to inhibit the actions of insulin and increase the tendency for high blood sugars and eventually diabetes. Eskimos are among the highest consumers of fish on the planet and also have the highest rates of osteoporosis of any people on the planet.
What’s happening right now is that (Monsanto) Bayer paid off the Obama administration to approve the genetic modification of alfalfa. Alfalfa is one of the heaviest consumed products by animals. This means that in the very near future all foods that had a face or a mother will contain genetically modified ingredients and enormous amounts of (Monsatan’s) Bayer’s RoundUp Ready pesticides.
Let’s look at other startling realities:
The pharmaceutical industry, as all publically traded corporation do, need to increase their bottom line to increase their earnings per share to keep their shareholders happy.
To do that they must keep you sick.
The large food corporations, also publically traded corporations, basically need you to eat more of their foods to keep their shareholders happy. Whether or not their foods are health promoting or health destroying is irrelevant to them.
When we talk about Monsatan, now Bayer, we already know that they have paid off Presidents to keep from having their products labeled as GMOs. Why? Because they know if they were labeled you would not buy them.
Then there’s the medical profession or I should say the medical business. What is the success key of any business? Repeat customers! You staying sick is good for business.
The government agencies have made comfortable beds for themselves by being the chamber maids for the food and drug corporations.
These agencies, like The Fraud and drug Administration, The Centers for Deceit Control and Procrastination, The Environmental Pollution Agency and The Federal Treachery Commission have already constructed a massive revolving door between the large corporations and their agencies.
For example take a look at the CDC. Julie Gerberding, who was the Head of the CDC for the past eight years is now the CEO of Merck Pharmaceutical’s vaccine division. Also, let’s not forget about former (Monsanto) Bayer higher ups like Michael Taylor and Tom Vilsack.
Last, but not least, is the mainstream media. Remember, the success of a business requires repeat customers. Look at the bulk of their ads and the Letters to the Editor that they print and tell me the last time you say anything espousing a vegan diet centered around organics.
Yet, despite all these facts, we continue to force these disease and obesity causing, if you’ll pardon the expression, “foods” upon innocent children in the schools and on ourselves. If it were truly about health it wouldn’t happen. If it were about money… well, let history speak for itself.
Change can only come from those that know they are being exploited and decide to do something about it. Are you ready to do that or do you need to develop cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, constipation or obesity before you do?
Oh yeah, there’s one more thing “they” don’t want you to know about. There are two forms of digestion out there. One is a carnivore and one is an herbivore. Carnivore’s eat flesh. Herbivore’s eat plants, fruits and grains. The human form is an herbivore form.
Yet you have been led to believe that humans are omnivores. You better sit down for this – there is no such form as an omnivore.
So, just because you have acquired a sense gratification taste for flesh and blood, it wreaks havoc on your system. Your digestive tract, if stretched out is roughly 35 yards long. Plant based foods leave the body in two to four days making its way through your convoluted digestive tract. Yet, things that had a face or a mother leave the your convoluted digestive tract in four to seven days.
The question then is, where do all those poisons go when sitting in your body for up to seven days? And yet you wonder why you have debilitating illnesses.
Aloha!

Just to put things in perspective, after I graduated from Weequahic High School and before going to Seton Hall University, I had a part-time job working for a butcher. I was the delivery guy and occasionally had to go to the slaughterhouse to pick up products for the store. Needless to say, I had no consciousness nor awareness, as change never came then despite the horrors I witnessed on an almost daily basis.
After graduating with a degree in accounting from Seton Hall, I eventually got married and moved to a town called Livingston. Livingston was basically a yuppie community where everyone was judged by the neighborhood they lived in and their income. To say it was a "plastic" community would be an understatement.
Livingston and the shallowness finally got to me. I told my wife I was fed up and wanted to move. She made it clear she had to be near her friends and New York City. I finally got my act together and split for Colorado.
I was living with a lady in Aspen at the end of 1974, when one day she said, " let's become vegetarians". I have no idea what possessed me to say it, but I said, "okay"! At that point I went to the freezer and took out about $100 worth of frozen, dead body parts and gave them to a welfare mother who lived behind us. Well, everything was great for about a week or so, and then the chick split with another guy.
So here I was, a vegetarian for a couple weeks, not really knowing what to do, how to cook, or basically how to prepare anything. For about a month, I was getting by on carrot sticks, celery sticks, and yogurt. Fortunately, when I went vegan in 1990, it was a simple and natural progression. Anyway, as I walked around Aspen town, I noticed a little vegetarian restaurant called, "The Little Kitchen".
Let me back up just a little bit. It was April of 1975, the snow was melting and the runoff of Ajax Mountain filled the streets full of knee-deep mud. Now, Aspen was great to ski in, but was a bummer to walk in when the snow was melting.
I was ready to call it quits and I needed a warmer place. I'll elaborate on that in a minute.
But right now, back to "The Little Kitchen". Knowing that I was going to leave Aspen and basically a new vegetarian, I needed help. So, I cruised into the restaurant and told them my plight and asked them if they would teach me how to cook. I told them in return I would wash dishes and empty their trash. They then asked me what I did for a living and I told them I was an accountant.
The owner said to me, "Let's make a deal. You do our tax return and we'll feed you as well". So for the next couple of weeks I was doing their tax return, washing their dishes, emptying the trash, and learning as much as I could.
But, like I said, the mud was getting to me. So I picked up a travel book written by a guy named Foder. The name of the book was, "Hawaii". Looking through the book I noticed that in Lahaina, on Maui, there was a little vegetarian restaurant called," Mr. Natural's". I decided right then and there that I would go to Lahaina and work at "Mr. Natural's." To make a long story short, that's exactly what happened.
So, I'm working at "Mr. Natural's" and learning everything I can about my new dietary lifestyle - it was great. Every afternoon we would close for lunch at about 1 PM and go to the Sheraton Hotel in Ka'anapali and play volleyball, while somebody stayed behind to prepare dinner.
Since I was the new guy, and didn't really know how to cook, I never thought that I would be asked to stay behind to cook dinner. Well, one afternoon, that's exactly what happened; it was my turn. That posed a problem for me because I was at the point where I finally knew how to boil water.
I was desperate, clueless and basically up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, there was a friend of mine sitting in the gazebo at the restaurant and I asked him if he knew how to cook. He said the only thing he knew how to cook was enchiladas. He said that his enchiladas were bean-less and dairy-less. I told him that I had no idea what an enchilada was or what he was talking about, but I needed him to show me because it was my turn to do the evening meal.
Well, the guys came back from playing volleyball and I'm asked what was for dinner. I told them enchiladas; the owner wasn't thrilled. I told him that mine were bean-less and dairy-less. When he tried the enchilada he said it was incredible. Being the humble guy that I was, I smiled and said, "You expected anything less"? It apparently was so good that it was the only item on the menu that we served twice a week. In fact, after about a week, we were selling five dozen every night we had them on the menu and people would walk around Lahaina broadcasting, 'enchilada's at "Natural's" tonight'. I never had to cook anything else.
A year later the restaurant closed, and somehow I gravitated to a little health food store in Wailuku. I never told anyone I was an accountant and basically relegated myself to being the truck driver. The guys who were running the health food store had friends in similar businesses and farms on many of the islands. I told them that if they could organize and form one company they could probably lock in the State. That's when they found out I was an accountant and "Down to Earth" was born. "Down to Earth" became the largest natural food store chain in the islands, and I was their Chief Financial Officer and co-manager of their biggest store for 13 years.
In 1981, I started to do a weekly radio show to try and expose people to a vegetarian diet and get them away from killing innocent creatures. I still do that show today. I pay for my own airtime and have no sponsors to not compromise my honesty. One bit of a hassle was the fact that I was forced to get a Masters Degree in Nutrition to shut up all the MD's that would call in asking for my credentials.
My doing this radio show enabled me, through endless research, to see the corruption that existed within the big food industries, the big pharmaceutical companies, the biotech industries and the government agencies. This information, unconscionable as it is, enabled me to realize how broken our health system is. This will be covered more in depth in the Introduction and throughout the book and when you finish the book you will see this clearly and it will hopefully inspire you to make changes.
I left Down to Earth in 1989, got nationally certified as a sports injury massage therapist and started traveling the world with a bunch of guys that were making a martial arts movie. After doing that for about four years I finally made it back to Honolulu and got a job as a massage therapist at the Honolulu Club, one of Hawaii's premier fitness clubs. It was there I met the love of my life who I have been with since 1998. She made me an offer I couldn't refuse. She said," If you want to be with me you've got to stop working on naked women". So, I went back into accounting and was the Chief Financial Officer of a large construction company for many years.
Going back to my Newark days when I was an infant, I had no idea what a "chicken" or "egg" or "fish" or "pig" or "cow" was. My dietary blueprint was thrust upon me by my parents as theirs was thrust upon them by their parents. It was by the grace of God that I was able to put things in their proper perspective and improve my health and elevate my consciousness.
The road that I started walking down in 1975 has finally led me to the point of writing my book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”. Hopefully, the information contained herein will be enlightening, motivating, and inspiring to encourage you to make different choices. Doing what we do out of conditioning is not always the best course to follow. I am hoping that by the grace of the many friends and personalities I have encountered along my path, you will have a better perspective of what road is the best road for you to travel on, not only for your health but your consciousness as well.
Last but not least: after being vaccinated as a kid I developed asthma, which plagued me all of my life. In 2007 I got exposed to the organic sulfur crystals, which got rid of my asthma in 3 days and has not come back in over 10 years. That, being the tip of the iceberg, has helped people reverse stage 4 cancers, autism, joint pain, blood pressure problems, migraine headaches, erectile dysfunction, gingivitis, and more. Also, because of the detoxification effects by the release of oxygen that permeates and heals all the cells in the body, it removes parasites, radiation, fluoride, free radicals, and all the other crap that is thrust upon us in the environment by Big Business.
