Excellent! I’ve also been researching how I can get off some medications and live healthier…as well as lose the weight on the Low-carb. I’m anxious to hear more of what he has to say and to read his book, as there seems to be so much conflicting information on what I should be taking for certain conditions and what works and what doesn’t! It’s too expensive to use the wrong things only find out months later that it wasn’t doing any good! Thank you again for all you do.
You’ll LOVE this book, Esther! I was amazed at how simple so many of these “natural cures” really are and it certainly doesn’t hurt to do these rather than shelling out tons of money for prescription medications! THANK YOU for listening!
Comment
Although I like what Bowden has to say on some things - I have some problems with his statements/theories on acne causation -
Linking dairy to acne - whether - raw - heated or with hormones is nonsense - unless refined sugars/yeast/cooked grains are mixed with it -
This is simply his desire to proclaim dairy bad because his 2 million years ago cave man didn’t eat dairy - which is somewhat unproven - I think -
His attitude towards grains/seeds follows the same line of thinking -
Acne is either linked to yeast somehow or functions much the same way -
Eliminating products containing man-made yeast and refined sugars - (bread mostly) - and eliminating cooked seeds and grains is the proper treatment for acne - raw grains and seeds can be digested by man and have no effect in causing acne -
I might mention that mushrooms are quite okay - eat them all you like - no problem
Facial acne may require eliminating chicken and beef as well - with one egg a day and any amount of any kind of dairy having zero effect on causing acne -
Why ? Because this method works: - Eliminating just yeast and refined sugars them selfs will ‘almost clear up acne’ - but since yeast is impossible to get rid of entirely - ( there’s wild yeasts in the air we breathe ) - eliminating cooked seeds and grains may also be needed - because somehow or other the yeast or something directly related to the causation of acne feeds on cooked seeds in the large intestine -
raw grains and seeds are digested by bacteria in the large intestine and if cooked the bacteria wont touch them -
any interference with bacteria functions in the large intestine is problematic - and the reason that perhaps chicken and beef may also be related to acne - if - digestion of these foods allows yeasts to feed -
something that should be considered in severe facial acne -
cooked plant foods ( with exception to baked or dried potato chips - and dried squash and other dried vegetables/fruits ) - refined sugars ( which feed the yeasts or something very similar ) and possibly beef and chicken if the individual can not properly digest them and yeast feed on them are the causes of acne -
It’s not the raw grains - it’s cooked/sugar enhanced/yeast fortified seeds that are the problem -
to indict dairy in the acne thing is questionable at best - and telling kids to stop eating dairy to help there acne is also questionable -
if they try just that and their acne clears up totally - fine - then I’m wrong - but if it doesn’t work - and they have read this - at least they will know why -
THANKS for sharing your comments, Jeff! I appreciate your providing another perspective.
The Most Effective Natural Cures On Earth-I can’t wait to add this book to my low carb library. Jonny is one of my favorite low carb lifestyle supporters. Jimmy, of course, is my ultimate fave for low carb info.p.s. Love the” dog is high in protein” caption, lol.
You’re gonna LOVE this book, Linda! THANK YOU for all your support.
This book is going in my next shipment to Taiwan! I’ll have to see if my mom can send it over to me. THANKS, Jimmy! Great interview!
