Organically Grown Fruits and Vegetables
Note: Week ago I listened to an hour long presentation by a Keynote Speaker and Lecturer on "Mechanistic" (outside in) vs. the "Vitalistic" (whole body) approaches to modern medicine. The "New Start" his summary was as follows: Nutrition: Buy Organic for the minerals content (especially Asparagus, Spinach and Carrots) along with lean protein; Exercise: Walking (preferably early in the day) is preferred because it resets the biorhythms of the human body; Water: Drink one half of your body weight in lbs. / in ounces each day (180 lbs. = nine 10 ounce glasses daily); also that Watermelon contains the highest beneficial alkaline content which the acidic content of the body requires... I'll continue with "Start" if there's interest.
Q. Does this doctor sound credible and what are your views on the benefits of Organically Grown Fruits and Vegetables?

Forgot to mention that this Keynote Speaker and Lecturer on "Mechanistic" (outside in) vs. the "Vitalistic" (whole body) approaches to modern medicine stated that 68% of all prescription drugs dispensed in the world are currently consumed by US Citizens. He then further stated that pain medications and muscle relaxants are routinely prescribed for many if not most patients even before definitive diagnoses have been made. Corporately he was critical of Monsanto and others in the farming chemicals industry for providing farmers with products which marginally meet government safety standards.
The New Start mnemonic continued with Sunshine: Encouraging all able bodied in the audience to avail themselves of some exposure whenever weather permitted to this "excellent" source of Vitamin D; Temperance: or Self Control [intentionally stronger words than 'moderation] he advocated with respect to foods and beverages with known harmful toxicities or other chemical properties which in excess may interfere with normal body organ functions ["eat and drink clean"]; Air: Proper intake while exercising should be through the nostrils with exhale through the mouth; Rest: The emphasis here was on consistency, rather than stipulated times and/or hours; Tone: The nexus between thought and body sounded like a rehash
of psychosomatic illness awareness without specificity. His emphasis was also on Whole Grains. I'd grade the lecture a C-.
Postscript Regimen: For the past year I've been buying (a) Tropicana Pomegranate Blueberry Juice; (b) Ziegler's Apple Cider; (c) Bolthouse Farms 100% Carrot, (d) Blue Goddess and (e) Berry Boost Juices. My health cocktail recipe [lol] is one part each (a) and (b); with two parts of (c), (d) and (e) which I serve over ice in a tall tumbler two thirds full and then top it off with Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Eight to ten of these drinks have become my liquid intake in lieu of water. After evening meals I enjoy black coffee over ice with oatmeal, ginger or molasses cookies. I welcome your comments and criticisms.
