Several research papers I've read over the years have draw a strong correlation between nutrition and how fast adjustments take hold and how long they last. In particular, mineralization heads the list. In other words, the more mineralized the client, the faster/better they adjust and the longer they hold their adjustments. So before your next Massage or Chiropractic adjustment drink a tall glass of Chocolate Silk to flood your body with Cacao (neuropeptides), Hemp (EFAs/protein) and Himalayan Salt (platinum group elements).

He is an elderly man, and seems to be in very good shape physically and mentally. He was clearly not pushing his opinions, but rather simply presented facts based on over 25 years of scientific research. Colin Campbell presented several studies of rats which were fed cancerous substances. One group of rats was fed a high protein diet (20%) and the other group was fed a low protein diet (5%). All the rats who were on the high protein diet developed tumors and cancers whereas the low protein group remained cancer free. The second observation was that the protein that caused the tumors was casein (milk), an animal protein. Plant protein did not result in cancer. These studies are decades old, but have not found their way into medical knowledge, or rather did not get past the dairy and meat lobbies. The China Study researched the connection between the occurrence of disease and the food that the people eat. The study was government funded and of massive proportions, involving thousands of field personnel and many thousands of participants all over China. The first observation was that tumors and cancers were not evenly distributed all over China, but rather were concentrated in certain areas and absent in others. This was graphically depicted on a map. Then researchers went to hundreds of areas and interviewed the people living there about their food intake. The result was very clear. The areas where only plant based food was available showed practically no incidences of cancer. The more animal food was available, the more the incidents of cancer increased. Over a period of over 25 years those results were compiled and evaluated in scientific form. Protein intake of less than 10 % was shown to prevent chronic diseases, and protein intake of more than 10 % resulted in serious diseases. There is a direct correlation between animal food consumption and the occurrence of cancer. Colin Campbell is a vegetarian, but he did not seem to push vegetarianism at all. He simply came to the conclusion that it is dangerous and possibly suicidal not to be one. For him it became obvious that vegetarianism puts the odds in one's favor so strongly that it does not make any sense not to be a vegetarian. He admitted that there are people who eat meat, smoke and drink and live to 90 without getting sick, but he said that it is a mighty big gamble to rely on such cases, since the China Study clearly revealed that the evidence is totally clear: Animal food is a principal cause of cancer and other deadly diseases, and plant food preserves health and reverses disease. Then he presented some government documents which tell the public that the recommended protein consumption - in order to prevent chronic diseases - should be between 10 and 35 percent!! Another document stated that added sugar consumption - again in order to prevent chronic diseases - should not exceed 25%!! The government propaganda is disregarding all truly scientific information and instead recommending a truly deadly diet. Lastly he recommended two books 1. Overdosed America 2. The Truth about the Drug Companies Of course he has his own book 'The China Study'. The thing that impressed me about this talk was that Colin Campbell was not trying to convert people, or change anyone's opinion, or push an agenda. He presented the biggest and longest research study regarding the correlation between food and disease. The facts spoke for themselves. Animal food can and does make you sick and can and does kill you. - Shama ~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrapping Up ~~~~~~~~~~~ Shama's review has inspired me to expand on this thread.
