After the Pendulum TestingWhen I looked at the two piles of food to see what the difference was, I was surprised to see that all the ‘good’ food was free of E numbers and additives and the majority of the rejected food had labels outlining all sorts of E numbers, additives and modified starch etc. even my favourite kind of black pepper and some dried herbs were rejected. (I later found out that anti fungicide chemicals are added to the dried herbs to extend the shelf life) The most subtle of added additives are foods that look ‘fresh’, bread has preservatives added at many stages of production, so beware bread that is still fresh two days after you bought it. Also many versions of ‘fresh’ bacon has preservatives added as this is quicker and cheaper then salting or smoking. I decided to buy additive free food where I can and found that my migraine attacks and headaches reduced from 5 days a week to only one or two days a week. This was definitely progress, with continued testing using the Pendulum on different foods it soon became apparent to me that any type of pork would produce a headache or migraine, even Organic pork would make me feel quite ill. So for me it was a bit deeper then just modern poisons added to food under the guise of ‘preservatives’. Now I tested all the fresh meat before and after cooking and found that there was a more positive reaction to lean meat then there was to meat that had lovely tasting crispy juicy fat on, I can not say why this is the case unless like pork my digestive system cannot cope with some forms of fat. ( It is well known that lots of chemicals are stored by the body in your layers of fat - perhaps this is what I was detecting...chemicals consumed by the animal was stored in its fat layer ) Knowing that 75% of people in the world have problems digesting cows milk and that both of my children showed an allergic reaction when as toddlers they were first given cows milk, I cut out all cow dairy products from my diet and the last of my headaches and migraines stopped. But now I had a problem, which was that without dairy products , milk, cheese and butter half of my nutrient intake disappeared, of course this also included most cakes , breakfast cereals and most ‘processed’ food. I gave
some thought to a theory by an American author who claimed that our blood
types were shaped by our ancestors diet, and that modern blood types are
better at extracting nutrient from cereals then the more ancient ‘o’
blood group which is better suited to a protein diet, well as I am welsh I
looked at the sort of diet that the welsh have prospered on for over 6000
years , which has generally been pastoral
and mainly sheep, so I tried feta cheese which is made from ewes
milk, and surprise surprise no headache and no migraine, I cannot get ewes
milk but goats milk seems to be tasty enough and causes no metabolic
reaction. |
