Guest guest Posted May 20, 1999 Report Share Posted May 20, 1999 Forwarding to other lists: umbada (Jerry M. Katz) Thanks to Jan, Linda, Harsha, David Bozzi, for comments and advice. It was all brilliant, of course and in its balance of viewpoints offers wisdom. I like having David (and his lovely wife Barbra) on one side laying the latest scientific nutritional findings on us, and these other guys saying to trust nature and the fruits and vegetables of the earth. while Linda is giving normal, healthy, easy recipes. The bells of wisdom ring! Harsha: Hopefully a better smoothie for you every morning will be one of the outcomes of this discussion Jerry. I enjoyed hearing from David about the latest scientific findings on nutrition. Jan made an important point that much of the food supplement industry is driven by commerce and this has to be kept in mind. Be aware that many of the companies who sponsor the latest research in science and nutrition and even pharmaceuticals are the companies who want to sell certain products. This bias is missing from Mother Nature. I think using common sense is always good. Depending on what makes sense in terms of nutrition, background, culture, latest scientific findings etc., one can adopt a sensible diet. Experimenting with foods can be helpful. I am an advocate of the vegetarian diet from the point of view of Ahimsa. Many yogis consider a predominantly raw food diet to be helpful for Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation. Each person must decide what is right for their body and find the right combination of foods (cooked/and or uncooked) for them. Food has a direct impact on the body as well as the mind. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once stated, "Let your food be your medicine." As the body gets older, we realize the great truth inherent in those wise words.

Dear Harsha, I am glad to have offered something of benefit. But I feel the need to clarify. I do trust Nature as the Teacher. I do believe the answers to great health (& everything else) come from Her. It all fits together. I see so no discrepancy. I know a young practitioner of Hatha yoga & she has loves to hear what I have to say & incorporates it into her lifestyle for enhanced health. No contradiction whatsoever. I know that within the next five years I will study and implement yoga into my lifestyle. Again, no contradiction. I see no 'sides' dear Harsha. That's all I'd like to make clear. > Harsha: much of the food supplement industry is driven by commerce and this has to > be kept in mind.

This bias is missing from Mother Nature. One needs to be quite sharp in determining just what our observations really mean. One needs to be vigilant, and dedicated to finding the truth. One must always look at the quality of research, bias, etc. Pure science in itself has no bias. We do. Never put too much stock into any one study. It takes many, many pieces of the puzzle to know the whole.

David (sideless) Dearest David, I have complete faith in your wisdom and deep respect in the way you go about integrating various streams of spiritual and scientific knowledge.
