True words from the heart!!

Honor or Freedom (via Money)?

"To thine own self be true", this is a question i've seen alot with business since i was a little boy...at about 9 my dad invented Lifeline USA. he had made the ropes to help his insurance clients get in better shape so they did not have to pay so much insurance...then it hit him one day to help lots more people with the Jump Rope program he made TO help those people and himself get and stay in great shape....it worked, he did an honorable thing and it worked. Over the years i've seen alot of people take his ideas and use them for their own benefit on the jump ropes and tubing...it's happened alot...my dad trusts people, so do i, it is business with a simple handshake...it is honorable. growing up i always saw this, trust and people never forget it, build true friends, get burned occassionally as well. it's no different today with all of business, saw the facebook movie tonight and man that was crazy the lack of honor among some of them....it is a movie, so only they know the truth. I just need to say something that my native american ancestors said (read "neither wolf nor dog") that strikes a chord here that many do not understand and still may not. it is the way native people live and most non native people live and it is a very important point today. To live with honor and do that which is right in your heart, that helps people and planet for now AND for future generations. OR to purely go for that almighty dollar irrelevent of it's effect on people and planet for now and definitely not for our future. "To thine own self be true". You, Me, We cannot lie to ourselves, so WHY? live a life that is not true? 
I know i'm probably preaching to the choir here but i just felt like writing something different tonight. i truly write this out as much as i can to keep a log on what i do because people ask me how i train and eat alot...and i want to help them get on the same path i'm on....one that helps people and planet for now and our future....honestly, because it is the honorable path i feel. 
I've felt this strong drive to train pure movements since i was a little boy...to follow nature...to train for pure enjoyment and improvement of movement skills!
I've always loved animals and never wanted to harm or kill them...and always wanted to not eat them but that was what i thought was the only way i could stay strong....in 2004 i found out this was not true, that the meat and milk and fast food industries had lied for a buck. On that day in 2004 i heard it is not best for me and my hand pain i could not change fast enough to a 100% plant based diet and despite not doing it right for the first 8 months and losing 12.5lbs of muscle and gaining it back in fat, i said no way am i going back to hunting for carcasses in stores. I WILL FIND A WAY! and i did!:)
Despite everyone telling me back in august 2000 that a gym without machines would NOT work, i did what my heart said was needed....i did not listen to the thoughts of you got to make money...i honestly never have. I've been homeless twice in my life and i know money is not everything....living with honor is, doing that which you love is, helping people and planet is.
And you know what it has been a very very challenging road, no one paved this before me.
But my heart says i must do it.
my heart says live with honor, help people to return to the old simple ways of movement for the joy of movement. help people to eat in a way that is best for our health and the planets heath by eating foods natural to our primate bodies...plants! help people to heal pains in minutes instead of just sending them to some PT or doctor who most likely is going to give them a prescription instead of healing the actual problem at hand....which for those of you who've done Eischens Yoga is usually very simple to fix!
I'm driving by my ancestors and this planet and nature to live with honor. and this is the best way i know how to do it...thru health and fitness.
I train skills, eat plants, realign my mind and body with Eischens Yoga DAILY.
Training skills is about enjoying how we move, not how we look, it's about connecting to our instincts, our planet, not to the mirror. Re-align the mind & body Daily, keep yourself in balance....this again is about connecting to ourselves and our planet.Eating plants is about connecting with how we eat, our foods, our planet and doing so without harming another being on this planet!! We actually heard someone say to us recently "well didnt god put animals on the planet for us to eat!" WHAT!! SERIOUSLY! That sounds very familiar to what slave owners said about black people back in the slavery times..."that they are here for our benefit". We are all here together on this planet. Chief Seattle 1852 said this: "This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." 
life is simple, follow your heart, deep down in your gut you will know the truth and ask yourself these questions: You cannot buy honor!
Do you train for appearance or performance?
Do you eat animal products because of pear pressure or pleasure or do you eat plant based because you want to do what is right for you and the planet?
Do you honestly strive to learn how to heal your body the true way by going inward OR do you take the quick fix short term solutions via drugs or surgeries?
thanks for your thoughts my friends:)
peace:)

Acid saliva: No enzyme ptyalin to pre-digest grains

 

Alkaline Saliva: much ptyalin to pre-digest grains.

Strong Hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest tough animal  muscle, bone etc

 

Stomach Acid 20 times weaker than that of meat-eaters

 

Stomach Acid times weaker than that of meat-eaters

Intestinal tract only 3 times body length so rapidly decaying meat can pass out of the body quickly.

Intestinal Tract many times the length of the body to allow slow decaying plant food to pass through the body

Intestinal tract many times the length of the body

 

            Can you spot the pattern??

 

 Humans are in every way like fruit eaters, very similar to grass-eaters and nothing like     meat eaters. The human digestive system, tooth and jaw structure and bodily functions are completely different to carnivorous animals. As is the case of the Anthropoid ape, the human digestive system is twelve times the length of our body; our skin has millions of tiny pores to evaporate water to cool the body by sweating; we drink water

 

      by suction like all other vegetarian animals (as opposed to carnivores who lap with their tongue); our tooth and jaw structure is vegetarian; and our saliva is alkaline, containing ptyalin for pre-digestion of grains. Human beings clearly are not carnivores by physiology—our anatomy and digestive system show that we evolved over millions of years living on fruit, nuts, grains and vegetables.

 

 

 

 

      On top of this our natural instincts are clearly non-carnivorous. Most people I know have other people kill their meat. Instead of eating raw meat as all flesh-eating animals do, we fry, boil or roast our meat, then disguise it with all sorts of sauces, spices and toppings so that it bears virtually no resemblance at all to its natural state. Go figure that one!!

 

      If man was built to run at the speed of a carnivore to catch its prey then tear it apart limb by limb with its teeth whilst lapping up its warm blood one might conclude that nature provided us with meat-eating instincts. That is why a cat will salivate at the smell of a piece of raw flesh and we humans do not.

 

      Scientist and naturalists, including the great Charles Darwin who gave us the Theory of Evolution, agree that early humans were fruit and vegetable eaters and that throughout history our anatomy has not changed.

 

Still today we have the medical community spending billions of dollars on research for heart disease, diabetes and cancer yet in the last 10 years the incidence of all 3 of these diseases increased!!

 

      Let us see if we can figure out a solution to this disease problem, it should take about 60 seconds of your time and it will cost you nothing.

 

      Scientist know that carnivores have an almost unlimited capacity to handle saturated fats and cholesterol. They have also proven that if you add 3-4 gms of animal fat to the diet of a rabbit (grass eater) within 2 months it will develop atherosclerosis (heart disease).

 

Have you figured it out yet??

 

      Our digestive system, like the rabbit, is not designed to digest meat, and yet strangely we still cant figure out that the more meat we eat (along with processed foods) as a society the more diseased we get!!!

 

      Bottom line is we are designed to eat fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. When we eat meat and processed foods we become diseased. Some people are able to handle the digestion of these foods better than others however it causes ACIDITY in us all. The more acidic your body the more diseased you will become.

 

     

 

 

 

      The medical fraternity, (who are backed by the pharmaceutical giants) choose not to pass on this essential information purely because they do not make any money out of it. In the US, medications are the second biggest killer behind heart disease with cancer running third. Imagine the loss of income if all that was needed was to pass on three words; EAT MORE PLANTS.
