Blueprint for Holistic Healing. C. Norman Shealy
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the broad field of sugars and starches. Essentially we do not need any carbs as we can make them out of fats or proteins. Naturally occurring carbohydrates, in general, are good, but “refined” and “enriched” carbohydrates are junk food! Table sugar, white flour, and fructose are plain rubbish, and they are major contributors to diabetes, heart disease, depression, ADHD, and cancer.
Honey is a blend of natural glucose and fructose and is much superior to sugar, since it is sweeter and contains some amino acids and vitamins. Used in moderation by all except diabetics, it is the only sweetener I recommend.
Fats
In general, naturally occurring fats in healthy meats, seeds, and nuts are good for you. Artificially hydrogenated or “hardened” fats are seriously dangerous, poisonous junk.
Omega-3—Omega-3s are alpha Linolenic acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). They are the essential fats. Deficiencies lead to inflammation and every known disease! Best sources are wild salmon and grass fed beef and poultry.
Omega 6—The only healthy sources are nut oils, evening primrose, and black currant oils. Other vegetable sources such as corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cottonseed, peanut, and soy oil are to be avoided!!
Omega-9—These monounsaturated fats are not essential but in general are healthy, with the very best being from virgin olive oil and avocados.
Essential Amino Acids
There are nine really essential amino acids and one “conditionally” essential.
Histidine is needed to make histamine, as well as to stabilize hemoglobin and inhibit carbon monoxide. Those with allergies may be deficient.
