Mike Anderson: The Rave Diet Part 1 | |||||||||
|
Today, we are honored to feature Mike Anderson, author of the book “The RAVE Diet and Lifestyle” on our program. The term “RAVE” is an acronym which stands for: No Refined foods, No Animal foods, No Vegetable oils, and No Exceptions and Exercise. He is also the producer of three superb films on health and eating: “Healing Cancer from Inside Out,” “8 Minutes,” and “Eating.” Mr. Anderson’s works examines the overwhelming evidence that keeping a plant-based diet leads to a life of overall excellent health. Mr. Anderson(m): All this sound familiar? What's not so familiar is that these health problems were caused by eating habits. In fact, eating is the biggest cause of disease, disabilities and death in the US today and according to the Surgeon General eating kills 2 out of 3 Americans every year. HOST: He began to read such books as the acclaimed “Diet For A New America” by vegan, meaning an animal-free diet, advocate John Robbins. From his readings, here is what he concluded: Mike Anderson (m): But I said, “My God, this should be headline news. I should be knowing about this instead of all the drug discoveries and everything,” because you can reverse heart disease, for example, with simple changes in diet. You can reverse Type 2 diabetes in one or two weeks very easily with just a simple diet. You can reverse cancers. You can reverse virtually any degenerative disease. That’s what’s killing eighty percent of the population right now, is degenerative diseases. HOST: Mr. Anderson (M): The pattern is not only obvious, but totally predictable. No matter where you look when people adopt animal-based diets, heart disease and cancer The one thing an animal-based diet does best is kill people. It does this by clogging arteries and restricting the flow of blood and oxygen throughout the body. Deprive the heart of oxygen, you get a heart attack. Deprive the brain of oxygen, you get a stroke. Deprive your tissues and cells of oxygen and you set up the underlying cause of all cancers. HOST: Mr. Anderson (M): Now, heart disease or cardiovascular disease, that means clogged blood vessels throughout the body. Heart disease is just one subset of cardiovascular disease. Type 2 diabetes, (is)100% caused by diet, 100%. How do we know this? We can reverse it with diet, and (it’s)very easy. Its been shown time and time again, its been proven. Now, there is a cure for diabetes I am here to tell you, give me any diabetic and I will reverse it and get them off insulin. Cobb(f): Gerson(f): Lodi(m): Mr. Anderson (m): Bad genes don’t express themselves in another words with good diet, with a bad diet they are going to come out and play. Mr. Anderson (m): HOST: Here, Mr. Anderson discusses the fact that prominent members of the medical community support the vegan diet for treating heart disease. Mr. Anderson (m): John McDougall is another one, Joel Fuhrman another one, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic, he’s another one. He has [the] longest heart disease reversal study ever, out there. But he is reversing heart disease with diet. Mr. Anderson (m): He went on the Internet. He finally discovered Dr. Dean Ornish and his book. What happened with him is amazing because he couldn’t walk two hundred feet without experiencing severe angina (chest pain). Within two weeks after changing his diet the angina was almost all gone. Within two months it was completely gone. Seven months later he was running in an eight and a half mile (NFT: 13.5km) marathon and finished in the middle of the pack. Now, here’s a guy scheduled for emergency bypass surgery, seven months later he’s in a marathon. That, no drug in existence, no operation, can do that. Bypasses are a temporary fix. Angioplasty is a temporary fix. Statin drugs, they just allow you to continue living with the disease, they don’t cure it. Diet is the only cure for that. So I was stunned. I wanted to get something out to help promote the message. HOST: Mr. Anderson (m): When you look at our beef supply for example, or any animal supply, they are eating crops that are heavy with pesticides. In fact, crops destined to be fed to cattle, there are virtually no regulations on the pesticides they can spray on the crops. So in fact 95% of the pesticide intake comes from animal foods that we eat. Bad foods are refined foods. Your white bread. The refined sugar, with very simple sugars and vegetable oils too, because it’s a refined food. You don’t see vegetable oil cans hanging off trees or anything like that. HOST: Supreme Master TV: Mr. Anderson(m): Plant foods have plenty of omega 3. The average salmon is 60% fat; It’s full of cholesterol. Shrimp has the highest amount of cholesterol per calorie of any animal on the planet. It’s no different, it just has a fin instead of a hoof. That’s about the only difference between a fish and a cow. HOST: Mr. Anderson (M): Sugar industry is subsidized, meat and dairy is subsidized. Every bad food has heavy, heavy subsidies behind it. We are talking billions, tens of billions of dollars worth of subsidies to prop them up. Now, these same people who run these industries are all saying “I like the free enterprise system and no government interference” or “We want free market.” I agree with them, let’s have a free market. Let’s get rid of subsidies altogether. The health of the nation will improve a thousand percent, because of it. Milk and dairy will be too expensive, sugar will be too expensive, all of these are political subsidies going to artificially support that market. So I am in favor of free markets. Let them be free and our health will improve. That’s to me the bottom line. Because anyone will tell you who knows, there is a direct connection between what we’re eating and the diseases we are getting. The linchpin behind that is the subsidies that allow this food to be so cheap. That’s why people are eating so much. Supreme Master TV: Mike Anderson (M): HOST: Our esteemed viewers, it was very much a pleasure to have you join us today for this edition of Healthy Living.
