Description:
"Published on Jan 29, 2013 drmcdougall.com Enjoy my provocative interview with Dr. Burkitt during his visit to Loma Linda University in Southern California on May 23, 1990. Dr. Denis Burkitt's (1911 - 1993) major contribution to medical science came when he noticed that diseases widespread in Western countries are absent in the Third World. On the basis of his convictions, he launched a worldwide crusade to change the diet in developed countries by recommending Westerners mimic the foods habits of his African patients. He reported, "In Africa, treating people who live largely off the land on vegetables they grow, I hardly ever saw cases of many of the most common diseases in the United States and England -- including coronary heart disease, adult-onset diabetes, varicose veins, obesity, diverticulitis, appendicitis, gallstones, dental cavities, hemorrhoids, hiatus hernias, and constipation. In 20 years of surgery in Africa, I had to remove exactly one gallstone." While serving as head of the governmental health services he saw more than 10 million people flourish on grains and tubers; eating almost no meats, dairy products or processed foods."

When someone, anyone (a loved one, a friend, a peer, a rheumatologist, a stranger . . . ) tells you it's "too difficult" to incorporate a dietary/ lifestyle approach into your routine, kindly consider this poem:
.
"It Couldnβt Be Done" by Edgar Albert Guest
.
Related Poem Content Details
Somebody said that it couldnβt be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That βmaybe it couldnβt,β but he would be one
Who wouldnβt say so till heβd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldnβt be done, and he did it!
.
Somebody scoffed: βOh, youβll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;β
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing we knew heβd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldnβt be done, and he did it.
.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
.
That βcannot be done,β and youβll do it.

Just-received email (from 'Food Revolution Network') noting:
5 Anti-Inflammatory π« π₯ Spices to Add to Your Diet: foodrevolution.org/blog/ant...
1 β’ Cayenne Pepper
2 β’ Cinnamon
3 β’ Nutmeg
4 β’ Sumac
5 β’ Pepper
.
Am aware of (& routinely use):
6 β’ Turmeric (+ Black Pepper)
7 β’ Ginger
as also being anti-inflammatory. π
.
Found the 'Comments' at the bottom of the article interesting as well. π€
.
Have you experience with other spices that are also anti-inflammatoryβ
.
.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
Kindly keep in mind: If you assess spices are something you wish to try (to bring down inflammation) -- please work closely with your physician(s)/ rheumatologist to ensure any supplements, spices, herbs, etc. that you plan on ingesting do not conflict with meds you're currently taking or your current condition(s). You may already be well aware of this. π π
(Merely noting as a safe, gentle reminder. π )
Think it's safest if we continue working hand-in-hand with our medical team as a 'check & balance' β -- to ensure we don't 'go off the rails'. π³ π± π π (Merely my layman's opinion.)
