Your body has a survival system that is very definite and very strong, that was handed down for thousands of generations because it worked and is why you are here.

Your modern man life style and diet often works and runs counter to this built in "survival" program. Then you try to get it to accept your "modern man" diet and lifestyle by giving it "medications" to trick it into accepting what you are doing counter to this inherited survival system.

Your doctor says it is your "genes" that are causing all your problems and we have to compensate and correct these symptoms with medication.

Learn to work with your body instead of against it. Otherwise, you may think you are winning but in the long haul you will "lose" every time.

Let us start with fat for example. You need fat to survive. Your body considers it absolutely crucial.

In South America in the past, they used "plenty of meat but no fat" to kill off any prisoners they wanted to dispose of. They were dead in six months when fat was withheld from their diet.

The Inuit Indians call the killer no fat diet "rabbit disease."

A recent study for example, with salads, showed in blood tests your body accepted none of the nutrients benefits they were testing for from
this vegetable salad when a no fat dressing was used. Approximately half of these nutrients showed up in the blood stream when low fat dressing was used and all showed up when full fat dressing was used.

You are cheating your body when you cut or starve it of fat. Your body knows it has to have fat to survive and this famine you are causing is a danger to your bodies survival.

A recent study indicates that when you cut out fat, your body goes into survival mode. It apparently decides there is a fat famine and we are getting no fat with our food and to survive the body has to make its own fat from carbs and you put on body fat.

The study showed those that were eating fat and their body was getting fat in the diet did not go into this "make your own fat" mode.

You can cut fat completely out of your diet and your body will go into a crash program to make its own fat.

So you tampering and trying to get your body to lose fat, by cutting necessary fat from the diet, put it in the very mode you were trying to avoid. This is an example of your body going into a survival mode and you are trying to defeat it.

You may win in a short term but you will gain it all back, your body will win this one in the long term.

Now lets take cholesterol. Your body makes cholesterol as a brain food and a cardiovascular repair and protection system. You can cut all food containing cholesterol from your diet, 100% and your body will still manufacture cholesterol. You need it to survive.

There are no studies that show lowering intake affects the level.

Your body has decided for some reason that you need more cholesterol to survive. One of these reasons is you are eating some modern man manufactured food, such as HFCS (Define) and Transfats (Define), MSG (Define), Nitrates and preservatives etc. that are causing inflammation of your cardiovascular system. Your body coats the insides of your arteries etc to protect them from leaks and inflammation. If you have this long enough and often enough your plumbing can get plugged with these protective layers.

When you take drugs to lower your cholesterol you are again only treating the symptoms, you are not dealing with the problem, namely the inflammation that tells your body it needs to turn out large amounts of cholesterol to survive.

All of these messing with and artificial invasions of your body system, in its trying to make you a survivor often cause your demise.

Your body knows best, learn what it is trying to do and work with it. In this case, find out what is causing the body to make high cholesterol and fix that inflammation for example.

This is why we say it is best to get on the diet and life style your body was made for.

All of these other crazy unnatural symptoms that are caused by the modern man diet and environment, will go away on their own.

Stop working against your natural body system genes. Learn what your body is programmed to do, learn to give it the right signals, (very important) and work with it, not against it. Give it what it needs.
