As I wake up this morning I am faced with sending Austin off to his first day of sixth grade. Boy where does the time fly and preparing to change my eating habits one more time. it is not like I haven't been down this road before with food allergies and boosting my immune system but now I am doing it with Colon health in mind. Wow, talk about a subject most of us would rather not talk about or even think about. I heard it said yesterday on a video I watched "it's simple what goes in must come out!" but what most Americans including me don't think about is what is going in and how is it going to get it out.  We take Eating, Pooping and even Farting and Burping lightly when without any of those working as they should we face dyer consequences. I have learned more in the 7 days spent in the Hospital then I wanted about issues like these and many more. I remember laying in the Hospital bed just waiting for the day to come I would Fart, something we all do but I wasn't. Hooked up to machines and bags for food with even the scare of a tube being placed down my throat to feed me. How did I get here and what in the Hell have I got myself into when Farting becomes not only a luxury but a sign of healing.
I have crossed many bridges and made big strides in my eating or lack of over the past few years. I have removed allergens, tackled GMO and learned more about the Human bodies fragility in a society that cares more about profit margin and Heath care cost then I ever thought I would. I  have battled the emotion reaction to "You can't eat that?" or " Sorry we don't make that or we don't carry that" to simple ignorance, all along me screaming inside "Hello" I am just trying to live here!!!!....
Even in the hospital they tried to give me vegetable broth with chicken in it.. {allergic to Chicken, yes I know its strange but true. first case my allergist had seen in his years of practice} and Gluten free bread with eggs... {eggs come from chickens DUH} next with seeds.. { Ah... Diverticulitis, no seeds or nuts please}  The world just takes these things granite but at what hidden cost. Cancer in the US is on the rise, Children and Adults are showing Gluten intolerance at alarming rates and Colon and Intestine diseases are on the rise as well.   Did you know that 1 out of 3 American will suffer some form of Diverticulitis or other Colon diseases most going untreated or undiagnosed because they are masked by Burping, Farting, Bloating and Other Stomach issues we treat with over the counter drugs. That most American take what they put in there mouth with less care then their cars or even what they feed their children compared to their pets??? Now that is Alarming!! In Northern California where I once lived the surgeon that took my Gallbladder out { yes been there too, it stopped working for about a year before it screamed to get out and right before gang green set in YUCK}  That he was then treating as young as 13 year old to have theirs removed. When did we lose sight of being Human. We are not Meat suit designed for designer food and chemical and bio chemical food. We are an organic living creature that weather you believe in God or Darwin the facts remain the same.  What we are putting into out bodies are either going to GIVE us LIFE or TAKE it AWAY!!  Yes Humans are living longer but at what cost? A life on synthetic drugs and fake food and hooked up to machines? When are we going to learn the greatest lesson from Hippocrates "Let Food Be Thy Medicine". I know I am not turning my back on that one anymore.
I often say being a AB-  I am the latest in Human Evolution. My blood type has only been on the planet for 1000 years and I can tell by my life and my research that I am more sensitive to things then most but statistics show that most Americans are having the same issues on a different scale then me but if my life is an example of what the food is doing to our bodies and our minds then extinction is possible if changes are not made. If to you this sound a bit Harsh ask yourself the rise in Autism and other genetic issues coming to the fore front. Studies are showing change in diet can often show great results in many children. So all I am saying is please take it from  me, read labels, listen to your body and most of all learn more about what your eating and good colon health. Did you know even the most healthiest diet can lack the daily Fiber needed to move food through your body in a healthy way?  Most Americans needing 25-35 gms a day? Where are you on that scale? Ask yourself theses and other question, why am I farting and burping so much, or is that Bloating trying to tell me something? Do it now when you have a choice before like me your facing emergency surgery and looking at wearing a colostomy bag for 6-8 month maybe even life. Think about how that would change your life? Think about if it was your child laying there? I was lucky but there are many Americans who are not.  Someone today is being told they have Cancer, Someone today is having part of their Colon removed, Someone today Died because of being untreated and uneducated, Let that someone NOT BE YOU!!!!!!
