Dr Joe Dispenza on Diet

Thanks Toni to have created that subject. In fact, after reading the 6 first answers, it turns out that it makes a lot of different subjects together.

I will try to do my bit, hoping it's not too long.

First, about gluten.
I've learned to avoid it before the medias were talking about it. My doctor first advised me 10 or 15 years ago to eat spelt broad (without explaining). I learned thereafter that spelt contains less gluten. And after I learned that spelt contains as much gluten as other flours, but that's another kind of gluten that is better digestible (assimilable).
I've heard about the coeliac disease later. I've learned also that there's a difference between allergy and intolerance. Reading and listening around me, experiencing with my diet and with my body, I've learned a lot about all those matters, and first of all, to put things in perspective.

It's simple and complex at the time. And everything can be told about it. The most subtle scientific knowledge is way above my level of knowledge, and I don't really want to know about it. Because it's not this approach that matters to lead our lives.

I know now that refined food is never the best. Gluten is a kind of glue that is difficult to assimilate in the intestine. When one's allergic, it's impossible to go on eating gluten. When one's intolerant, it's still possible to eat it. But more you eat it, or more often you eat it, easier you'll get symptoms.

Becoming intolerant is not so much a question of chemistry in our body than a question of big negative emotion during an event when the allergenic substance is present. Quitting the intolerance has more to do with healing from an emotional stress than to take pills, make a diet or revisit our past in front of the shrink.

Eating badly has not only consequences on our digestion, on our tiredness, but also on our mood, on our emotions. (Sugar, for instance, boosts violence). And finally, it has consequences on our way of thinking. But getting the good information about food is not easy, because all kinds of information are available and it's difficult to sort it out.

And focusing on one ingredient is not the solution. If we have no intolerance, we're better to learn what's good to eat, than trying to avoid precisely this or that kind of ingredient.
I think that meat is worse than gluten for the health. But as I'm intolerant to gluten and not to meat, and that my experience has proved me that, when I have migraine, meat helps to boost my digestion and diminish the pain, well, I eat meat. My aim is to resolve the migraine, thereafter I'll think about being vegetarian. And in the meantime I try to be sober in the quantities.

So it's interesting to learn what's good to eat for our health, for the planet (meat needs 5-10 times more space, water, energy to be « produced », than vegetables  (« produced » between quotes because animals and plants are not products)).
And it's also interesting to learn what our experience can teach us, that can be in contradiction with what is told to us.

And finally, we can strive to reach the best, but we are not perfect, so let's feel ok, trying to act responsible, but not blaming ourselves or feeling guilty at each morsel of bread or other food eaten.

I think the most important is not to get the information. The information will reach us if we need it. But taking as godsend each information that the television is giving us is the worst way to reach wisdom.

And that brings me to the second theme, a bit off-topic, but so exciting (it's one of my favorite )
TELEVISION.
The television reached my window, 12 years ago. Seriously, I put it away but didn't throw it through the window
I've lost so much time in front of it. It's making us very naive, sheep, manipulated, violent, conditioned. I closed it because I was fed up with it, even if it's still fascinating me when I'm in front of a screen.
But with the time I've been more conscious of the huge benefit it can be to stay far from it.

It led me to shut the radio (except a non commercial Californian broadcast on the net that I love), and to stop reading print media.

I'm aware of the news through specific internet pages. Advertisement doesn't nearly reach me at all (I have adblock on my computer). I'm even more strict about advertisement : when an ad reach my eyes or ear, it means that I'm deciding to never buy this brand (and it doesn't mean I'm not influenced at all, it still reaches me, indirectly, or unconsciously). If everyone was doing the same, advertisement would become again honest, useful, and would be located in a place where people would look for it, in place of being flooded by it.

In fact, about television and mass media, I've written a lot in a book that I had published on my website. But I removed it a few weeks ago, because I feel it's too activist. And I don't want this aspect anymore. So I'm rewriting part of it, and will suppress the most activist parts of it. But about television, I don't have changed my mind, I would still advise : stop it immediately, it's 200% unhealthy
In fact, no : don't stop it until you really feel it's time to stop it. It's precisely important to learn not to follow anymore.
