NO, MATT MONARCH "All Disease is [NOT] the Same" #358

[PerfekteTraum]

zak, can u do a vid on how to restore/ improve vision (myopia + astigmatism)?

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@PerfekteTraum Sure I'm not too familiar with it but I will begin looking into it!

[smurnin2010]

people who are obsessed with being "toxic" are mentally ill. a well nourished and exercised body does not need help "detoxing". it's sad to watch vegan people starve themselves. they seem to be trapped further by a delusional self righteous trip about not killing anything and being squeaky clean.

[smurnin2010]

i'm no fan of matt monarch but you are being a douche. the video says PRACTICALLY, he's using THAT weasel word which allows him an out. live and let these malnourished vegans die. their foggy and malnourished mind is made up. it's really sad because they could be hurting their baby's lifelong iq by not giving them any dairy, raw or otherwise.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@smurnin2010 If you watched even the first minute of my video you'd see that he added practically onto his video title AFTER he uploaded it (and after I uploaded mine) and was getting tons of people commenting on it saying how wrong he is. He never uses the word practically in the video itself, he's actually stating that "ALL DISEASE IS TOXICITY". Yes I am extremely concerned about the future health of any children being raised as vegan/raw vegan.

[varelalr]

Dude! You talk way too much for us common folk! You quickly & totally lost my attention! You're obviously nit-picking like crazy! Not many people would want to here all of that blabbering!  Matt, on the other hand, gave some very good, general and simple information that I really appreciate and intend to use! Thanks Matt! I don't blame you for not wanting to communicate with this guy! Sorry guy but it seems that you just don't know when to stop! Ever heard of the KISS principle? Put it to use!

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@varelalr In the drop down menu you'll find a link to set up phone consultations on my website. You're in urgent need of some recommendations to deal with your severe case of ADHD if you can't follow my video which is very well laid out.

[DiaShanti]

@varelalr There is more to good health than getting an emema and eatting raw food. I've studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and disease can be brought on in the body through shitty thinking and pessimistic outlook. And being vegetarian isn't a perfect diet for some people. Nor is raw. Facts. Also, Dr. Weston A. Price discovered in his world travels what he called perfect health in Eskimos eatting nearly 100% meat diet, but raw. Go figure. Goes against what most doctors would tell ya.

[beki4peace]

I feel like diet is very tricky. My sister and her boyfriend have done well on a high protein, low sugar diet. I, myself do well on a high fruit, high greens, high raw vegan diet. Sometimes I don't even think that we "humans" are all the same species. I think we all have different ratios for genes from homo erectus, homo habilus, neanderthals. Some probably have more genes related to hunter gathers and some have more genes related to a vegetarian primate.

[sprookafook]

man im sick of read one book turned evangelical assholes like matthole, from freelas page ='' oh our that cunt who has made another station in hopes of finally getting the attention that bulimia didnt provide or was i daddy, then bannamia were u gorge on bannans like there uncle didles cocks that gave u the bulimia in the first place, now your finally able to be a cock tease without being fat or puking, how proud u must be but why sell a diet that makes incapable of childbirth?

[TheSooz2008]

The medical profession likes to label diseases indivually so the can sell a pill for each one. And if you'd like a contempoary on toxins, Dr. Pompa says the same thing. Toxins drive inflammation which causes disease. "The body can't heal unless you get rid of the cause". And there are countless cases over decades to prove that true. Different diseases are the expression of the individual, they're going to show differently but they all come from toxins. So they are virtually the same.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@TheSooz2008 You're just as deluded as Matt. I put it all out there in the video but you haven't addressed a single point, just added the same rhetoric that is ignoring a huge side of illness which has nothing to do with toxicity or has multiple causes which may or may not include toxicity.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity You point to nutritional deficiencies as another cause of disease. I know many will agree when I say health is more about what you don't eat than what you eat. The biggest cause of deficiencies is actually toxins, because they lead to dysbiosis and the inability of probiotics to synthesize enough nutrients.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius Trying to paint deficiencies as a cause of excess won't work. "The biggest cause of deficiencies is actually toxins, because they lead to dysbiosis and the inability of probiotics to synthesize enough nutrients."

What the... so it's ok now to just make up random statements that have no bearing on fact?

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity I'm not trying to paint deficiencies as a cause of excess. If anything, it would be the other way around. But lets face it. Overeating leaves toXic waste behind. Undigested food creates an anaerobic environment in the intestines, paving way for parasites and other symptoms of disease. What part of my statement should I elaborate on?

[TheStomperReedFeed]

@TheSooz2008 That just doesnt make any real sense...

[TheSooz2008]

Matt is dead on.Diseases are caused by toxicosis. He doesn't say just do colonics only and everything will be fine. He advocates clean eating as well. He addressed people eating the typical American diet which is complete poison hence the rise in all sorts of problems and diseases. You can't eat dioxins, PCB, pesticides, BPA ect. and swallow down a few things from Surthrival and be great. And what Matt says about disease is old school. Just read some Herbet Shelton, T.C. Fry and Norman Walker.

[panlucius]

Certainly a raw food diet may not always be the whole answer, but unless you're getting enough of these biophotons and enzymes, any healing attempt by the body will be severely slowed down. I don't know of any live blood cell analysists who can claim (with case studies) that animal products improves the quality of the blood. What Matt is basically saying is that if you remove the obstructions, the body will heal itself of anything.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius It's a myth that the enzymes in raw foods are usable by the body with the exception of the proteolytic enzyms found in kiwi, papaya and pineapple.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity This is not true. First of all, when you eat food, acid secretion is minimal for at least thirty minutes. As the food goes down the esophagus, it drops into the top portion of the stomach. This is called the cardiac section, since it's closer to the heart. The rest of the stomach remains flat and closed while the cardiac section opens up to accommodate the food. During the iime the food sits in the upper section, little acid or enzymes are secreted by the body.

[panlucius]

@panlucius The enzymes in the food itself go about digesting the food. The more of this self-digestion that occurs, the less work the body has to do later. When this 30 to 45 minute period is over, the bottom section of the stomach opens up and the body starts secreting acid and enzymes. Even at this point, the food enzymes are not inactivated until the acid level becomes prohibitive. You see, food enzymes can tolerate chemical environments many times more acid than neutral.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius Plant enzymes are deactivated and broken down by stomach acid, fact. If plant enzymes broke down food then a leaf of lettuce would break down while still on the plant. Chewing our food activates digestion partially but again that's our body adding enzymes to the food already. Wild claims need extreme evidence. Even Dr. Gabriel Cousens acknowledges that the enzyme THEORY of raw food is baseless and most likely not a factor in what could be said to be a health benefit of raw food.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity What Dr. Cousens does acknowledge is the biophoton explanation, and there is a definite correlation between enzyme-content and biophoton radiation. In fact it's the biophoton levels in a food that determines when the food enzymes are switched on. As the food's source of electrons from the ground is cut off, after being picked, the biophotons in the food's DNA regulates how long the food stays fresh, and therefore when the decomposing enzymes are switched on.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity What I wrote about enzymes here is a quote from Dr. Edward Howell, who did several decades of research on this. In fact, many other animals also have this "food enzyme stomach", like the cardiac section of our stomach is. Ie. the cheek pouches of monkeys and rodents, the crop of many species of birds, and the first stomachs of whales, dolphins and porpoises. Whales, dolphins and porpoises have a first stomach which secretes no enzymes. The food simply digests itself.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius No ones been able to duplicate his work.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity You mean someone has been able to reject any of his hypothesis based on real research? Which ones are you referring to exactly? :)

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius No I mean no one has been able to duplicate his experiments and get is outcomes, thus why his work is not accepted as mainstream scientific fact.

[panlucius]

@SecretsOfLongevity In scientific trials the hypothesis can either be strengthened or falsified. Unless the hypothesis can be falsified it's not science. So if any real scientists have proven Powell's hypotheses false then this is big news to me and many others. Did this happen recently?

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@panlucius Yeah the biophoton theory is more plausible then the enzyme theory of raw food and if the enzyme activity is directly related to the photons then that makes sense.

[sprookafook]

@SecretsOfLongevity i fully agree, the bs ph phantasy and the bs enzyme phantasy has got to stop, cooking might kill nutes n aminos but the enzymes do next to nothing.

[panlucius]

Hi Zak. Are you familiar with the research on biophotons in food, and their effect on the physiology of the body? Also, many people have lived for years without food, proving there are no "essential nutrients". In fact, the less you eat, the longer you live. Which is why fasting is so hugely beneficial.

[sprookafook]

if your gonna make money selling health food u have to sell blue sky, for fuks sake daniel vitalis has 6 dollar quarts of raw water, lmao. u gotta appeal to the impoosible, lost talentless people need a releigon be it food or blue sky, put on a pancho and sell them shit thats ten times overprices and theyll feel worse n luv u, just like the church used to do.

[sprookafook]

im so glad fake fucks like matt monarch n durianparasite ryder are gone, veggie n vegan are man made fade diets, its great that people kill themselves n there health while bragging about it though, this guy doing the vid is cool though, he gets it. folks veganism is a old fad. weeds, berries, roots, eggs, flesh, this is your diet. matt neads to just grow the fuk up already, muscleless hippy vegan fuck selling fucking aluminum rocks to people.

[BlueReishiMan]

Matt Monarch doesn't read books so he never knows the specifics of what he is talking about. He just says how high he feels from this food or that food. Obviously he is trying to make money. I have never boughten from him and don't care too.

[queenbeenightly]

Thanks.I'm vatta and very deficient, have many interference fields,etc. and these practitioners who do nothing but detox and raw and colonics almost ruined me. I still have a weak spleen from it and organic chicken soups and butter helped me so much! When I did a colonic back in the days before I "got" Paul Pitchford's points on this I had diarreah for a week. My genetics cannot tollerate 100% raw. YetI sit eating raw cacao and loving it now that I built back up a bit. Keep up the good work.

[ingmarA]

Dear Zak, I do think Matt's over-simplifying, but he's making a very valid point nonetheless, namely that it is from a disunited viewpoint of separation that disease flows. I agree that over-simplification can be dangerous, but the compartmentalized approach that you champion isn't the answer either; we're living in a holographic universe, so every part contains all information about every other part. It’s fundamentally about getting to the SOURCE, and there, all disease IS the same..

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@ingmarA I've never said anything about compartmentalizing diseases. I've just stated andgiven examples of how they have varying causes and sometimes multiple causes. Cute spiritual concepts don't overshadow these basic logical facts. "every part contains all information about every other part" How does knowing that help someone with treating pneumonia?!?!?!

[oineezzz]

I've been through so much with the low carb lifestyle. I was low carb when GCBG came out (2007), I was there for 'the Bear', I read Weston Price, I have Vladimir Steffanson's writings about the Inuit. I was eating that way for over two years, I saw many people come and go on the diet. Ultimately, in the end, the diet was a disaster for me; just terrible. The whole carb, sugar, insulin connection isn't the whole story. I'm not against people promoting the lifestyle, but I expect it to end badly.

[oineezzz]

@oineezzz Vilhjalmur Stefansson*

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@oineezzz It certainly isn't perfect for everyone. There's a gradient of what works for people, for some it's much higher in carbs, for others it's much higher in fat and protein.

[oineezzz]

@SecretsOfLongevity That's true, but there are a variety of issues that consistently appear for people trying ketogenic diets. Different types of rashes, skin inflammations, dandruff, dry eyes, thyroid problems and even scurvy related issues like bleeding gums (I coincidently had all of these issues). Likewise, there are issues that consistently appear on fruitarian diets such as receding gums and being underweight.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@oineezzz Ah yeah I've heard of people having those symptoms on a low carb diet that's for sure.

[oineezzz]

@SecretsOfLongevity are you knowledgeable about the works of Ray Peat?

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@oineezzz I would't waste my time looking into the work of someone recommending processed sugar as a regular source or calories: /watch?v=onbFRioZel4

[oineezzz]

@SecretsOfLongevity that's not necessarily what he recommends per se. He talks about a preference for sugar over starch. He recommends fruit foremost for sugar, and advises to eat sugar when eating protein. Ray Peat type of meals would be meat and berries, orange juice and milk etc.

h ttp:// ww w.dannyroddy.co m/main/ is the blog of an intelligent guy who started out as a vegetarian, became paleo, and then transitioned to a Ray Peat style of eating.

[jd00090]

it is not cleaning the colon the ooonly thing to do to gain health, is cleaning the entire body through the lymphatic systmem, which is accomplished by eating fruits, if you want some vegetables and maybe a few nuts, but mainly fruits. also doing water fasting, having some herbs to speed up healing, maybe some glanulars for speeding even more because of the chronic state of the human race. the mind comes balanced with it. or you can have a balanced mind in a more or less toxic body.

[fringedlunatic613]

@jd00090 You got an references to back up that claim, or just more internet pseudo-science? There is NO known way of "cleaning the ... lymphatic system", other than maybe a castor oil compress, based mostly on old testimonials. Honestly, if it is lymph integrity you are concerned with, you would be better off eating a grass-fed steak, as lymph largely transports fats from the digestive system, and indeed is mostly white and comprised of triglycerides which come from diet, namely meat.

[robobuska]

You are one of the few folks in the natural health movement that sounds INTELLIGENT, respectful and sane. Even though you eat raw liver :P, we all have flaws ))

PS one a side note - that facial hair is hot =]

[sherabfri]

great video Zak

[robobuska]

I don't have time to watch the vid right now, but +1 for the title =)

[fringedlunatic613]

THIS IS TRUTH !!! ... lmao !

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@fringedlunatic613 TTTHHHIIISSSSS IIIIIIISSSSS TTTRRRUUUUTTTTHHHHHH.

[MykosLameiro]

Humans have two main diseases: too much simplification, and too much complication. But, Im probably overstating...Or understating what disease is... Ahah

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@MykosLameiro :p

[NYCDRAGONKING]

If you read the book Green for life, or Alkalize or Die - I think you'll understand the logic that Matt is using when he makes the statement that all disease are the same. If i were him i wouldn't put it in such a blanket statement but when you understand that diseases occur due to a disharmony in the body which that disharmony is generally cause by over acidity, i think you'll see his logic. I would check out those books - There's logic in Matt's rationale.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@NYCDRAGONKING "when you understand that diseases occur due to a disharmony in the body which that disharmony is generally cause by over acidity"

That's simply not true, the disharmony part is true, but again it's not generally caused by over acidity. I just gave examples in this video that has nothing to do with acidity. I've already shown how the acid alkaline theory of health is incorrect and pseudoscientific as well: /watch?v=33scSHAuVVk

[NYCDRAGONKING]

@SecretsOfLongevity For now i'm gonna take my chances and believe Dr. Baroody who wrote the book Alkalize or Die based on his years of clinical research. No offense but ur just some dude on youtube making videos.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@NYCDRAGONKING It's not a matter of BELIEVING in anyone. If you need to believe in anything then you're not looking for science to begin with. There's reams of information online about how the acid/alkaline balance of food affecting our health is pseudoscience. But yeah if you want to grovel at the feet of the non-researchers like Dr. Baroody or Dr. Young be my guest.

Why didn't these guys drop dead from "acidity" after two years of eating just meat?: jbc .o rg/content/87/3/651.full.pdf+h­t ml

[NYCDRAGONKING]

@SecretsOfLongevity Let me take that back when i said "you're just some dude on youtube making videos" - that was wrong because i have gained some very valuable insights from your videos since i've been following you more than a year. But only SOME videos, not all LOL. But on this one, i disagree with you and i'm more inclined to follow Matt Monarch's theory - although i would not have said ALL diseases. But like i said, i see his rationale and i see yours. You should check out those books.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@NYCDRAGONKING Thanks for taking that back. While I haven't read those books specifically I am well acquainted with the acid/alk theory having spent 3 wks at the Hippocrates Inst. where they think every single thing you eat should be green... *exaggeration for effect*

The diet of our ancestors was largely meat, root vegetables and sometimes in season fruit. It was very sparse on greens and those first three foods are all "acidic" so how did we live for 2.5 million years with no chronic disease?

[fringedlunatic613]

@SecretsOfLongevity EXACTLY!!! ... In the words of Brian from the Monty Python classic, The Life Of Brian ... "No, you've got it all wrong!!! You don't need to follow me, you don't need, to follow anybody!!!!!! You've got to think for yourselves ... YOU'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS !!! You're all different! You've all got to work it out for yourselves!!!" ... Classic, timeless words.

[dumblizzie]

I dont agree with matt monarch's comments - what about emotional, mental, spiritual, or sexual

disharmony - eating raw foods is going to fix everything, I dont think so. Its not all about the foods

we consume but how we deal with stress and everyday life. If only it was so simple as putting a

tube up your arse!!!!

[Lakkhesis1976]

Heehee- you said 'bollocks'!

[anyuisbjoern]

David Wolfe also blocked me from his channel cause i ask for phytoestrogen to become a woman?

[Sunshine4Cells]

Don't expect a response from Matt Monarch. If it's bad for his business he will not approve. I had been a customer of theirs when I was a raw foodist, but when I questioned some of his marketing tactics he banned me from posting messages and messaging him, as well as unsubscribing me from his channel. He doesn't care about anyone who can't help him make money, it's sad but true... :(

[fringedlunatic613]

@Sunshine4Cells Yes, sir, you are bang on. I too have seen the dark side of Matt Monarch, and I too have purchased many fine products from his Raw Food World, products which I was unable to find anywhere else. I watched one of his videos once where he goes on a vomit-filled diatribe against marijuana and people who use it medicinally as, quote, people "looking for an excuse to smoke weed and get high ... I mean come on, marijuana? Seriously?" end of quote. I mean, what a cretin!

[tsunamimachine1]

great video zac, to simply put every illness into one box is simply wrong and for Matt Maonarch to define its cure by detoxing is INCORRECT

[CharlesTRose]

What? You are telling me that people actually take diet and health advice from Jeff Spicoli?

[MrAria44]

@CharlesTRose ha... idk about u, but from my point of view, that's a compliment. Spicoli was a god! lol

[CharlesTRose]

@MrAria44 maybe you should found the church of the Holy Spicoli... ;)

[MrAria44]

@CharlesTRose Not a bad idea. p

[StabbyRaccoon]

By the way, Zak, I used to have acne and I managed it well with a paleo diet, but it wasn't until I started taking pantethine (not B5, its metabolite) that I could eat anything without acne. I have yet to find a good scientific explanation for this, but what seems to make the most sense that the increase in coenzyme a synthesis remedies a sluggish clearance of sebum so it doesn't build up and produce the pimple. So if you have someone with acne, get them to try pantethine for a week. Cheers

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@StabbyRaccoon Interesting... Thanks for the tip I'll keep it in mind!

[anyuisbjoern]

@SecretsOfLongevity Actuallyit so good that you say your opinion. otherwise we would be spamed by david wolf and Mattmonarch with their messages. Its good that we have people like you who be forward against vegan propaganda weather it works for some or not. its just diversity which realy counts. I still think that a lot of superfood sold in the USA you can get cheaper from their origin country with same effect or a even more healthier. Just by trust on tradional knowledge instead onlinemarketing

[DaStryker]

@StabbyRaccoon Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely try this I eat a very clean well balanced diet but still have mild acne in certain areas of my skin. I used to have it really bad when I was a swimmer and was immersed in chlorine for 2-3 hours per day. My body feels really strong and healthy compared to my previous experience but I look at my skin and wonder what is wrong.

[StabbyRaccoon]

@DaStryker Yeah I can relate to that. Getting healthy and reducing inflammation made it so much better, but I couldn't eat certain foods without keeping pimples still. A major issue is gut health, but I just found 450mg of Jarrow brand pantethine to work so well at reducing excess oil that I let myself eat these foods again. Like avocados, I missed those. Anyway good luck with it.

[StabbyRaccoon]

Does it ever occur to him to look for scientific evidence and then proportion his beliefs to the evidence? Sorry, osteoperosis is mostly explained by nutrient deficiencies and inflammation, which aren't mainly caused by environmental toxins. There are dramatic effects of supplementation with a handful of nutrients on osteoperosis and excessive inflammatory signaling can break the bones down through an interleukin 6 mediated pathway.

[StabbyRaccoon]

@StabbyRaccoon And what you say is true too. The lesson for everyone, osteoperosis is complicated, it can't be explained by just one phenomenon, it is multi-faceted. However nutrient status is probably the dealmaker/breaker, with the hormones and signaling molecules and whatnot being the exacerbator.

[CBasie2856]

@StabbyRaccoon

but remember, a toxic body can effect a persons hormone levels and the bodies ability to utilize nutrients, therefore disabling a person to be able to digest or utilize calcium, therefore eventually causing osteoperosis. So what I am saying is that nutrient deficiencies could stem from toxicity.

[StabbyRaccoon]

@CBasie2856 How? Which ones? What evidence is there? I'm not saying that it could never happen, but that the majority of cases have to do with dietary deficiency of a wide spectrum of nutrients, calcium, magnesium, vitamin K2, vitamin D (a sunlight nutrient anyway) and then the general metabolic syndrome which produces a state of hormonal deficiency and inflammatory excess, particularly over-expression of interleukin 6 on the osteoclast receptor, which breaks down the bones matrix.

[StabbyRaccoon]

@CBasie2856 I do concede that the metabolic syndrome is partially caused by toxicity, but toxicity is also caused by the metabolic syndrome, so the by far the dominant factor in osteoperosis is the metabolic syndrome and a deficient diet and lifestyle. I agree that toxicity can be a problem for the endocrine system, but my comment was in response to Matt's claim that it's all just toxicity. That isn't substantiated.

[chthonic19]

Good video, Zak!

[hautari]

If you don't know relations between osteoporosis and intoxication you don't know anything about true healing. I don' like Matt but you have to start learn from his teacher's :)

All the best!!!

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@hautari Certainly do enlighten me on the process of which you perceive osteoporosis to occur. By the way I never said that osteoporosis DOESN'T have a component which could be caused by toxicity but rather it has a more major component for most people who happen to suffer from the disease. Same with most other illnesses, they're more complex than JUST being caused by toxicity. I am in no way saying that toxicity doesn't exist in this video.

[JBC814]

All physical diseases are a product of the pH of the body's flesh (not including the stomach) and its reserves of antioxidants. It is always mineral and antioxidant deficiencies that cause all infirmities. The magic bullet is mineral and antioxidant supplements, in combination with an organic diet, of course.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@JBC814 Ph of food determining our bodies Ph is another big myth in the health industry. It certainly has some impact, like if you drink a case of coke everyday, but our body does a god job at regulating it's Ph simply through breathing. I address that in this video here: /watch?v=33scSHAuVVk

Again any statement "All physical diseases are a product of" is falling into the magic bullet mindset and health is much more complex than just one or two factors.

[liverawkstar]

Right on Zak-- not only is all the dislikes on here proof that raw food dogma "box-livers" think its simple, one can also look at the popularity of Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes and Dan McDonald in this ridiculous raw food awards crap that goes on... all of these people are still way below 40- and their extreme lifestyle's success won't indicate any method of sustainable diet choice until they hit 40-45... and at that point they'll collapse. I been there, don't that !

[nobadtrips]

zak, don't you think you should have included spiritual/emotional well being and its relation to dis-easement of the physical body? if we had no books, tools, doctors, etc. how would we heal ourselves? my opinion is nature and the mind. many people mistakenly assume detoxification is simply a physical act, when in fact, detoxification should always include all parts of our being. this can be extremely painful for the majority of humans, so most simply ignore it, and the disease persists.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@nobadtrips Emotional, mental and spiritual health certainly has a huge impact on disease, they'd fall under the lifestyle type of disease when I listed the 4 types of ways of getting sick. I wanted to keep the video as short as possible ;)

[CBasie2856]

@SecretsOfLongevity

sometimes toxicity can effect the emotional levels, mental, and spiritual levels of health.

I once ate a bunch of nuts after being high fruit and vegetables, and it made me more aggressive, impatient, and mean.

Why? Because it turns out in my case that too much fat can cause me to have less energy.

When you have less energy, you cannot carry on throughout the day, and so you are more likely to be impatient, angry, and snotty.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@CBasie2856 Yep!

[davidjohn83]

you keep saying no this isnt true, not this isnt true... how can you say such things without providing any evidence, but then you dont provide any evidence.

[davidjohn83]

he said "practically" all disease is the same... not 100% all

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@davidjohn83 He added that after this was already uploading, he had such a backlash in the comments (of which he deleted dozens, including mine which was criticizing him).

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Nice to see a rational person on Youtube, thanks Zak.

[MrAria44]

I've seen the Matt Monarch vid and i enjoyed SOME of the things Angela said such as how people become attached to their diseases and all these funds (walks,runs,parties etc) to research for cancer and other diseases. However, i disagree with the rest of what they say. It's interesting how they advocate a whole foods diet but restrict the key whole foods (eggs, meat, organ meats and EVEN raw dairy products such as goat kefir, which i've personally reacted very well too and enjoy regularly.)

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

animal meats, eggs, dairy are not really considered health foods unless you eat them raw.

But in no means cooked animal products r healthy. They only burden the body rather than help it.

Most of the raw food health experts don't recommend meat, since most people prefer it cooked, but in rare cases would they recommend raw animal products.

Most people in US culture are disgusted by raw animal products, so its best to not consider cooked animal products whole foods.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@CBasie2856 Animal foods are perfectly digestible when cooked, in some case more digestible for some people. We've been consuming cooked animal foods for up to 1 million years and it is acknowledged in anthropology to be the key factor in what made us humans (ie. spurred rapid brain development). I like both raw and cooked animal foods and have no problems with either.

[CBasie2856]

@SecretsOfLongevity

Actually if you think about it, all cooked food is somewhat digestible, but not all food is properly utilized. Cooked food in general has poor utilization, some foods more able to utilize than others. Raw foods tend to utilize better.

We forgot the fact that dead food = dead body, did we not?

As someone like you who is knowledgeable and has been researching the health scene for a long time, your channel should mainly focus on raw animal products.

[MrAria44]

@CBasie2856 I never said cooked meats. I do eat some of my meat "somewhat" cooked preferably some grass fed ground beef, but only on the outside. (the inside is completely raw and delicious) When it comes to organ meats, i try to eat raw. If i just can't even stomach it, ill put it over the stove for like 2-3 minutes tops and chow down. Usually, if i do consume raw organ meats, it is in small quantities because i just don't enjoy it as much.

[MrAria44]

@CBasie2856 With that said, i think 100% raw food diets are dumb and hold no water. In fact, i steam a lot of my vegetables such as spinach and broccoli because it is easier to digest that way. I still enjoy raw vegetables, but the truth is your body doesn't absorb raw vegetables efficiently and there is scientific evidence to back this up.

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

that's why we are not herbivores :)

Have you ever seen a human much on ONLY vegetables?

lol, you would become so weak and emaciated.

[MrAria44]

@CBasie2856 Yes, obviously we are are not herbivores, which was my point in my first comment about Matt Monarch advocating a whole foods diet and leaving out the REAL WHOLE FOODS (i.e grass fed meats,organs,bones,eggs) I think those foods are crucial to have in one's diet. I always tell my sister who is a vegetarian, that if she wants to stay away from meat, that's fine and her decision, but try and consume raw eggs and raw goat kefir and cheese as often as possible..

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

While I used to be a strong advocate of omnivorish high protein diets, I am now a strong advocate of frugivorish diets.

There is no such thing as real whole foods. whole foods are whole foods.

[MrAria44]

@CBasie2856 So does that mean fruit is a staple of your diet? listen, i don't think theres anything wrong with consuming fruit (even pineapple,papaya,clementines), even with the high sugar content that we've domesticated out of the once bitter fruit. I think the health benefits are still there, but to have it as a staple of your diet. How long have you been doing this? I could see a diet like that giving you tons of energy in the beginning, but eventually crashing.

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

It means you always have fruits as a staple, but you can add green leafy vegetables in large quantities everyday too if you want, but you just have to get your fruit in first before you start eating the vegetables. It is recommended to consume nuts in smaller quantities than fruits and vegetables, but when I do eat them, if I want a lot, I will eat a lot, I don't limit anything.

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

You don't have to go totally 100% fruits and vegetables. If you want a few cooked foods here and there every week, then a healthier alternative to meat, grains, and regular potatoes are cooked sweet potatoes/yams, cassava, taro, squashes, and pumpkin, and corn on the cob.

[CBasie2856]

@MrAria44

I have been on and off the diet for a period of 5 months, so I keep on experimenting.

I just finished an 8 day juice fast a few days ago and it went well, and I plan to get back on another one in about another few days.

[waluman1]

i agree with. DaStryker 100% matt has a business agenda thats failing. i think the raw foodies need to go look at some cave paintings and let us know if the find one of a carrot with a spear thru it :) awesome video zak...you do your research and really know your stuff and thank you for sharing your knowledge thats scientifically backed.

[waluman1]

@waluman1 i just received an email that matt monarch is sending me a package....i wonder if its because of my post ...hmmmm.... well im sure its not the refund for the adya clarity poison i was taking since it has a tracking number.

Very good video. Matt is very sophistical.

[redmeatheart]

Not that i'm knocking Matt Monarch i hope he lives a happy fulfilled life, but i don't agree with his world view. I wish liferegenerator nothing but the best in life.....it's really a much deeper discussion than the one at hand. It's more about the obsession with detoxification as the cure all for everything, and the orthorexia mentality that underlays it. Maybe you could address that in a video. Peace

[fringedlunatic613]

@redmeatheart Ah yes, Steven Bratman, I'm familiar with his work. It is a most curious term, and disorder, if you can call it such a thing. Most peoples concerns with toxicity, however, which is not necessarily to be ridiculed or minimalized, can EASILY be remedied by fixing their diet. Most people eat shit every day of their life, any wonder than why they look like and feel like shit all the time? You are what you eat, and you aren't what you don't eat.

[redmeatheart]

@fringedlunatic613 Sometimes you ARE what you don't eat. A vegan for example does not eat animals, what you do not eat has ramifications on your health in the long term. A vegan will become B12 deficient unless they supplement B12. Fruitarians cut out so many food groups from their diet that they inevitably get into complications. What you don't eat can have just as disastrous a consequence as what you choose to eat, and there in lies the point.

[redmeatheart]

Matt Monarch can be classed as orthorexic...and it's sad to see my boy...Dan the man going the same way. Obsession with detoxifying to a point were it's detrimental is a real problem. Seems that they're so dogmatically stuck.....chasing a mythical goal that they'll never attain. Matt monarch sells some nonsense on his site (Ant powder, B12 Patches) Just eat some raw pasture raised eggs...B12 problem solved. Your right Zac diseases can have radically different causes, toxicity is but one of many.

[CBasie2856]

@redmeatheart

lol b12. Meat and animal products may or may not cure b12 issues. But not 100% every time. A lot of the US already has B12 issues despite the high meat consumption.

[ThreeTreasureTonic]

Your assessment of rigid, dogmatic ideals is spot on. Defining who we are by what we eat is putting the cart before the horse I think. It would seem much more appropriate to define what we eat by who we are, which is of course in a constant state of flux. 'Change' is the only consistent thing that we can measure!

[PaleoMadeMeFat]

Great video Zak. Wtf is up with the dislikes?

[rui27marne]

@PaleoMadeMeFat u got fat off the paleo diet?

[TerminusIntroduction]

@PaleoMadeMeFat This.

No clue about the dislikes,

but.. the dislikes tells a story by them self,

maybe about dogmatic clicking and thinking.

[SecretsOfLongevity]

@PaleoMadeMeFat No idea, I just saw this now, this has happened on two or three other videos when they were first uploaded. The only possible conclusion I have is there's some coward with twenty or so accounts who logs in with them each and thumbs down the video. Not a big deal really... Enough normal people watch who will re-balance it :)

[ThreeTreasureTonic]

I thought "bollocks" was purely an English word!?! I've never heard anyone outside the UK say that before... :)

29 views and 15 dislikes? Eh?

[DaStryker]

Raw foodies can't handle the truth-39 views and 22 dislikes. Must mean you're doing something right Zak! I wonder if Matt Monarch can do pistols or 1 armed pushups. I respect the guy on some level, his business has helped many including me but the whole adaya clarity thing and the dogmatic health advice really takes away from his credibility.
