What makes WOW.com qualified to talk about nutrition?
While doctors are excellent at high tech surgical procedures and emergency care, they will easily confess that their med school gave them only an hour of education in nutrition. Plus, doctors are fully aware that their job is to examine, evaluate, order diagnostic tests, and write prescriptions. The nutritional councelling, lifestyle recommendations, and patient education in our healthcare system is trivial, incomplete, outdated, and often incorrect. In fact, it's not uncommon for patients to teach their doctor about the latest information and therapies.

Why should I trust this information over the experts?
Well, at one time the experts bad mouthed a natural product like butter and told people to eat man made margarine. Margarine is a 100% Trans Fat. Trans Fat is so harmful to the body that when the experts were asked what the allowable amount in the daily diet should be, they said, none. Tragically, we lived with the "Margarine Is Healthier Than Butter" lie for more than 20 years.

How should I eat?
Avoid these three categories of food:
1. Packaged & Processed Food
2. Modified & Refined Food
3. Commercially Prepared & Fast Food
Eat balanced meals and healthy snacks comprised of food in its most natural unadulterated form. Aim for having 75% of your food raw, 25% cooked, and don't cook it to death. You can devise your own system, or you can use the Winning Over Weight plan.

Isn't the Vegetarian or Vegan diet the healthiest way to eat?
According to some very reputable experts, including Dr. Lorraine Day (www.drday.com), yes. However, there's more. Unlike plant eating herbivores, the stomachs of carnivors and omnivors produces hydrochloric acid, designed to breakdown and digest animal protein. If you are very sick, the high living enzyme content of a plant based diet, and the cleansing function of vegetables with their high fiber content is very beneficial to the body. But a permanent diet should contain moderate amounts of quality animal products. The key word is Quality. That means, wild fish, not farmed, grass fed beef, not antibiotic laced alfalfa fed beef, free range organic eggs and poultry, not caged and injected poultry, and organic and preferably raw milk dairy products, not steroid hormone pasteurized dairy products.

Wait a minute. Wasn't the pasteurization of milk implemented to protect us from sickness and disease?
Yes. But at that time the dairies were unsanitary, overcrowded, and regulating standards were lower. Dirty dairies will produce dirty milk. There is a cutting edge, advanced dairy located in Fresno, California called Organic Pastures. The cows at this dairy graze on grass and roam 24/7 because...they don't have a barn! The cows are milked in the pasture using a mobile milking machine, invented and patented by the owner. They produce exclusively raw milk dairy products. Just like your grandparents did. Just like people from "underdeveloped" countries still do. Only the governments of free developed nations have made raw dairy illegal. Californians are the lucky exception. Raw dairy is legal in this state. The bacterial content of the raw milk produced by this advanced method is up to ten times lower than that of milk that has been pasteurized! And this raw milk dairy has never had a positive test for pathogenic disease causing bacteria. The milk is clean.

What about pork?
The WOW plan does not exclude any food. You are free to eat anything you want. But, as you learn the consequences of your choices, your choices will likely change. If you must have pork, make it a treat. Don't make bacon, ham, or pork ribs a daily or weekly habit. Tell yourself you can have it, but ask yourself if you really want to eat an animal that will eat anything, including garbage, feces, another dead pig, and even its own young. The word Quality is extremely important when buying pork. Inexpensive pork products come from inexpensively raise pigs. These pigs probably ate garbage. Remember, the Bible excludes pork, as do other cultures and religious groups.
