Nutrition and The Aquarium
We have a fish tank in our house. In it lives a
I didn’t expect him to live much longer. He looked bad.
While checking him out, I realized the filter wasn’t running anymore. A quick test of the water showed it was full of nitrite.

Why Are You Sick?
He was sick because his environment was all wrong, and he became healthy again when it was restored.
If you ask someone how to protect an endangered species they will tell you that you need to preserve
I know what you’re thinking. Humans are animals too. Mammals in point of fact. We have a genetic makeup that allows us to be in sync with our environment and be truly healthy. If we are removed from our natural habitat, we will become sick, and eventually die. Over the past 200 years guess what we have done? Exactly that. Because of our current lifestyle, and diet we have had our habitat destroyed – sickness is rampant. Diabetes and neuropathy are
The way we live has made it impossible for us to have sufficient levels of at least two
Two main things EVERYBODY needs.
There are two things you absolutely need to supplement with if you live a typical western life.
1. Vitamin D. – Unless you spend at least half an hour outside each day (including in the winter) you are chronically deficient in Vitamin D. There is a huge list of things your body needs vitamin D for, from
2. Omega 3. – We used to eat plenty of wild meat and fish, which was loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/ DHA fat). Your body uses this in every single cell for normal function. If you don’t have it then your cells stop working properly, and you begin to go the way of the
It’s important to note that if you have been deficient (especially in Omega 3) it typically takes about 90 days for the level to increase in your body. The other important caveat is that there is a very huge span of quality of omega 3. You can buy some that
The next two.
That takes care of the big two, but there are two more:
3. One other nutrient that people (especially those that don’t eat much meat or animal products) can become deficient in is vitamin B12. If you don’t have enough B12 one of the effects of that is NEUROPATHY. For this reason, it is wise to increase your intake of red meat, poultry, eggs, and fish, and to take a B12 supplement.
4. I said I’d get back to bacteria, that is one area that we all are lacking as well. The bacteria in the fish tank help keep the water clean and pure. The bacteria in your body help keep you clean and pure as well. Our diet is so sterilized that we don’t have the normal body bacteria in our gut to protect us for pathogens, help us digest and absorb our vitamins, and produce vitamins for us. You need a good probiotic (or to go out and eat some good healthy dirt)
In a nutshell:
To sum
1. Vitamin D – 50000 IU per week, or 7000 IU/day
2. Omega 3 fatty acids – 2-5 grams (2000-5000mg) per day.
3. Vitamin B12 – Eat your red meat, poultry, and eggs, and supplement with vitamin B12 as well – especially over the short term until you get more in your diet.
4. Quality probiotic (multiple strains)
