Awaken A New Perspective on Diet and Disease

A fundamental change in the views on diet and its' role in human health occur when one examines the dynamic provided for in the relationship of a host, the human body, and entities naturally adaptive to that host. Fungi, bacteria, and virus, primitive yet supremely adaptable life forms, inhabit the human alimentary canal; we know this. Fungi however, make their way into the spaces around our cells. We don't know this. In our efforts to understand the components of our bodies, we have missed dynamic function. This means, we have misunderstood almost nothing about individual components of biochemical processes inside the body; however, we have missed much, when we put these processes together.Nothing can prepare us for this new gestalt, this move in paradigm. We have for so long trained ourselves to be comfortable in not knowing. Our physicians' recite the mantra, "we simply do not know." And we understand. But we really don't understand. We don't yet understand the scope of the shear health, or wellness we have been missing. We don't yet fully understand the mind and body connection or the evolutionary battle that has been taking place. And we don't understand the forces driven by fungi, dancing and directing activities from beyond our cells. Fungi have been a partner, lying next to the cells in tissues and organs of our bodies, thriving on the things we eat, and evolving to take care of themselves when we do not eat. We will find that fungi have helped us to become what we are, to evolve to include organs, nervous systems, etc. We will find a fascinating biochemical dynamic exists, bridging gaps in understanding, curing disease.What this book hopes to accomplish is to develop a new sense of the human condition, and to provide some tools for managing that condition. A diet has been developed to accommodate this new knowledge. And a list of foods has been created to post on one's refrigerator, for easy access. Be prepared to understand more than you know, to feel better than you have, and to share these ideas and all that you do not understand.
