Tirlok is a hard working honest rickshaw puller and laborer in the underdeveloped state of Bihar India. He does not earn enough money to afford a balanced diet for himself. All his life he subsists on dry roasted gram flour dough, raw onions and green chilies with some vegetables thrown in. With some luck, he can surprise himself with a cup of tea. This staple diet is repeated twice a day, every day for 70 to 80 years.
He is healthy even at the ripe age of 70 because he cannot afford to fall sick. He is largely content with his fate and life style. Working for almost 12 hours in the burning sunshine, 7 days a week, he falls asleep instantly at night. At sun rise he is back to same grinding routine.
Tumchi, his counterpart in China, is also a hard working laborer in a stone quarry on minimum wage. He too is very poor to afford a balanced diet. Tumchi’s staple diet twice a day consists of, low grade rice accompanied by a watery soup with any living thing he can cheaply buy. His choice of living thing is limited to fish, rat, snake, lizard, or snail. He too is moderately content, healthy, and rarely falling sick.
In conclusion, what is common between Tirlok, Tumchi and others like them? Very active work life, lots of sunshine, fresh air, good sound sleep, moderate emotional contentment and very little complaining. Their body manufactures everything it needs from such simple, limited diets of just one variety. More than half the world’s 4 billion people fall into this category and they survive pretty well, without complaining of course
In another specific research experiment, chickens and hens were fed on zero calcium diet for months and months, yet they produced beautiful eggs, with rich calcium shells and surprised everyone. This is nature at its best working silently and magically.
In olden days, a couple of hundred years back, before bread was invented, every one lived off, meats and wines, more meats and wine. The kings, queens, moguls, pharaohs, rulers, statesmen and their slaves had animals slaughtered, meat roasted and washed downed with wines.
Excessive meat in their diets resulted in surplus of iron in the blood, termed as Hemi iron. The simple solutions to this major disease were to treat it with, “blood letting”. A couple of cuts were made in the ankles and legs to allow the blood to run out for a specific time. The other solution was to let a leach suck the blood out. This helped in balancing out the excess iron. We have the same problems today too, but the treatments are far more complicated and ineffective.
Now, we come to the million dollar question? Where is the Brain? OK you got this one right. The brain is in the head or the skull. Next question! Where is the MIND ? Where is memory? Where is your Past, which you never seem to forget?
The MIND is located outside the physical body, all around you. We need huge area to store up 90 years of stupid experiences. Hence our software is located outside our bodies.
Here in the outer layers, your beliefs, notions, and superstitions that you inherited from your ancestors are embedded. You inherit the total package of emotions, attitudes, mannerism, habits, from your parents. You pick up all, by virtue of being with them, day in and day out. You internalize everything automatically. I call this total package as “genes”. I will qualify it further as “emotionally enveloped genes”. They are the invisible part of our bodies and they are the cause of all our diseases and sickness by default, or good health, sometimes. We definitely, need to rewrite the Gray’s Anatomy.
In advanced western countries we have exactly the opposite situation. People struggle to live on expensive balanced diets, much polluted indoors, practically no sun shine and very little activity coupled with shallow breathing. The bottom line is that the quality of blood running in their arteries is toxic, viscous, and poorly oxygenated, which is the fundamental cause of all man-made diseases. Beauty within, is being redefined as the quality of blood running in the heart lung system. The fundamental parameters for top class blood are: PH tending to alkaline, Oxygen carried away at 95 percent, Nitric Oxide gas dissolved at optimum, Sugar and Salt on the negative side.
