diatary guidelines
Hallo Dr.Rosedale,
I´m a specialist for orthopaedic medicine and for ayurveda and acupunture as well. I received your guidelines from a friend.
Some recommendations astonished me. So I like to pose you some questions:
-corn-products are slowly digested , so that insuline production is also low. Why not eat them. Tey also are full of B-vitamines.
-fruits are very sattvic, containing much life energy, recommended over thousands of years.
-nuts should be taken in water over night. If not, their enzymes cannot be used.
-milky product cannot be digested by everyone, especially those found in our shops. Also curd can block the channels.
Curd and yougourth traditionally produced in India is not comparable with those product of western country
-meat gives much acid in digestion, also contains hormones of animals, which make people wild and hungry
-Yogies prefere high cholesterol diet because of their strong digestiv fire. But what is with those people who are weak ?
Ghee and olive oil are also recommended in ayurved.
-what do you recommend for people with underweight, if they don´t like meat and dont´tolerate milky products
-why do you not like carrots ?
Best wishes
Ulrich Winzen

Dear Ulrich,
Thank you for your email and for researching Dr. Ron's work. We would love to answer all of your questions, but some would take a great amount of detail for the true depth of the knowledge to be understood. So, here are a few short comments.
Your comment 'nuts should be taken in water overnight. If not, their enzymes cannot be used' Actually you soak nuts in water to dissolve the enzymes. They are more digestible soaked as you are getting rid of anti-digesting enzymes.
-why do you not like carrots ? Because it converts mostly to sugar, and their macronutrients are far outweighed by their micronutrients. Some shavings on a salad are fine but munching on carrots all day thinking one is being healthy is not correct.
Curd and yogurt traditionally produced in India is not comparable with those product of western country. We agree, they are very pure and well fermented in India, and in the western world they really ruin the product. Though it is very difficult to get the real deal, we do recommend a full fat sour cream as an alternative.
'Ghee and olive oil are also recommended in ayurved.' Plus coconut oils are wonderful too.
'-what do you recommend for people with underweight, if they don´t like meat and don't´tolerate milky products.'
Dr. Ron spent has spent a lot of time in india in the past 4 years. Most of the time was spent in southern India at a spiritual temple and university. e facilitates in creating a health retreat there. Many of the monks and devotees of this organization are vegetarian. Make sure you are getting enough complete protein and omega 3's, both we find true hardcore vegetarians are deficient in. When we introduced the Rosedale program in India to a mostly vegetarian crowd our life saver for protein sources was whey protein and paneer. Many of them opened up a little and introduced eggs to their strict diet and the results were amazing. The omega-3 oils that are from flaxseed or other seeds are in the form of of alpha linolenic acid. This must be modified in the body into EPA and DHA to be useful, and it is very difficult for the body to do so. Therefore these are poor substitutes, but for a vegetarian this is often the main and only source of the essential omega 3's. Make sure you are getting enough good fats, like ghee, coconut oil etc, and by eating good nuts and avocados. Protein is the only thing to count and to have your recommended amount per day from a good complete source and not one that is mixed with quinoa or rice. If you eat eggs or fish would be wonderful, preferably a deep water wild fish.
Cholesterol is not the villain though big pharma would love everyone to believe it is. Eggs for example are one of the most perfect meals, a combination of a complete protein, fat and cholesterol.
We hope this helps. We wish you the best of health.

Thank you for answering my questions ! Because of comments of some doctors of our german ayurvedic society it would be good to continue our discussion. About the importance for some essential proteins and fats I agree with you completely. I don´t understand why you refuse grains. Cooked (complete)grains were the most important nutrition for mankind over thousands of years. Their inside sugar goes into blood very slowly .
Glucose is very important for brain and kidneys. If there is to much glucose in the blood it´s firstly accumulated in liver and muscles as glygene, when coming up in very great amount , then as fat.Also muscles gain energy with glucose, also with fats, rarely with proteins. So, were is the problem ?
Secondly, you didn´t answer the question, what happens with people who are weak in digestion , means who are producing not much bile and pancreas secret. What will happen wth so much fat and proteins in the bowels ?
I understand your movement because americans eat much sugar and white-flower products. These substances of course make a quick insuline-rise in the blood and, when repeated, storage as fat.
Thank you for your attention.
Ulrich

Ulrich,
I wish we could answer all of your questions, but being that it is a free service we just do not have the resources to answer long details answers for everyone. Though, one huge misconception is that the brain needs glucose. The brain works far better without the added glucose from ones diet. There are many studies to support this mainly in the science fields which are not clouded with profits for pharma. Grain converts into sugar. Ancient man also walked, hunted, and burned off the sugar from any grains that he ate, which modern man typically does not. Also modern man consumes a lot more grains than ancient times. There is a wonderful debate between Dr. Rosedale and others regarding the so called 'safe starches'. I believe you will enjoy and it will answer many of your questions about grains. http://drrosedale.com/blog/2011/11/22/is-the-term-safe-starches-an-... After you have read and digested that article I suggest you read the world famours transcript of a speech by Dr. Rosedale, called 'Insulin and its metabolic effects'. Follow this link http://drrosedale.com/rosedale_writing.htm and it is the first one, click the far left to download the full transcript. It is by far the best summary that I believe everyone must read over and over a few times to truly grasp the depth of the knowledge that is being shared. Dr. Rosedale by many world science leaders and health professionals has often been described as being just way ahead of his time. So much so that often his talks and presentations become quite famous years after he presented his findings and studies.
We hope this helps.
Best of health.
