Raw Food Risks and Solutions!

Raw Food, Raw Papaya

Raw Food Risks and Solutions!

By Anthony B. James

Dr. Anthony B. James, Monastic Medical Physician

Virtually every class we hold at ACNM (American College of Natural Medicine) has one or more “Raw Foodists,” and this appears to be a growing trend. However, in conversation with them, there appears to be a lack of knowledge and uninformed prejudice regarding the risks of eating an exclusively raw food diet and the actual necessity and benefit of cooking and/or processing some foods.

Here at the ACNM and the Thai Yoga Center, we teach nutrition and healthy eating based on traditional principles. We stress the value of a predominantly plant-based diet in the most unadulterated state possible to support safe and dense nutrition.

As SomaVeda® Thai Yoga practitioners, nutrition advocacy is one of our most powerful and reliable adjuncts. However, there is no scientific or traditional support for the idea that eating raw food exclusively is healthy. Our ancient Native American culture consumed a varied and primarily plant-based diet consisting of both raw and cooked foods. Yet, there are definite and very clear health risks associated with the consumption of some raw foods.

Fact sheet No. 9.369, published by the Colorado State University Extension sites research, specifically addresses the prevalence and risk of E. coli in raw vegetables. “Fresh fruits and vegetables once were thought to be relatively free of disease-producing pathogens. In recent years, however, outbreaks of foodborne illness linked to fruits and vegetables have become more common.

These outbreaks come from produce grown both in the United States and in other countries. Outbreaks have been linked to Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella on apples, lettuce, cantaloupe, and sprouts; Listeria monocytogenes on cabbage and cantaloupe; Shigella on parsley and lettuce; and Cyclospora on imported raspberries.”

“Root crops and leafy vegetables have the greatest risk of infection from manure application to soil. They can also become contaminated through direct or indirect contact with cattle, deer, and sheep. E. coli O157:H7 is most prevalent in ruminants in general and in cattle in particular (both beef and dairy). Other known carriers include birds, insects, and squirrels.

While the bacteria do not appear to make these animals sick, the animals carry and shed the bacteria in their feces. Drinking and recreational water have been carriers in several outbreaks, most likely from fecal contamination by infected animals or people.”

Truth is, we have no way to verify from garden to table that there has been no vector of contamination somewhere along the line.

These bacterial and fungal contaminants can produce life-threatening illness especially in persons with lowed or challenged immune systems. For specific details, read the full report at (http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/09369.html)

What about my favorite Super Raw Foods, such as Raw Cacao?

I love chocolate as much as the next person. I helped build a Cacao farm in Ecuador a few years ago (see photo) and was convinced of the benefits of raw chocolate.

However, recent studies and revelations have come to mind to discourage me from other than the occasional use of raw, uncooked chocolate. Sad, I know, but I want to be healthy, and I want my clients to be healthy. The main issue with unprocessed or raw chocolate is pathogenic Mycotoxins such as Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A, which can cause the following effects: Neurotoxic (destroys nervous tissue), Immunosuppressive (suppresses immune function), Genotoxic (causes genetic mutations), Carcinogenic (cancer-causing), Teratogenic (causes birth defects).

Dr. Anthony James in Ecuador at the SMOKH Loma Linda Cacao Farm.

One study makes the following points:

  • “The occurrence of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in chocolate was investigated.”
  • “Ochratoxin A was present in 98% of the evaluated chocolate samples.”
  • “Aflatoxins co-occurred in 80% of the samples contaminated with ochratoxin A.”
  • “Tendency of higher amounts of mycotoxins as higher is the cocoa solids content.”

(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0956713511005640)

This strongly suggests that safer chocolate is roasted chocolate!

What does the CDC say about Foodborne Illness?

Apparently, quite a lot!

“We estimate that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year.”  (Mead PS, Slutsker L, Dietz V, McCaig LF, Bresee JS, Shapiro C, et al. Food-Related Illness and Death in the United States. Emerg Infect Dis [serial on the Internet]. 1999, Oct [date cited]. Available from http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/5/5/99-0502.htm)

According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) references, to have a safer food experience:

CLEANhttp://www.cdc.gov/Other/disclaimer.html: Wash produce.

  • Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables in running tap water to remove visible dirt and grime.
  • Remove and discard the outermost leaves of a head of lettuce or cabbage.
  • Because bacteria can grow well on the cut surface of fruit or vegetables, be careful not to contaminate these foods while slicing them up on the cutting board, and avoid leaving cut produce at room temperature for many hours.
  • Don’t be a source of foodborne illness yourself.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water before preparing food.
  • Avoid preparing food for others if you yourself have a diarrheal illness.
  • Changing a baby’s diaper while preparing food is a bad idea that can easily spread illness.

(http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/facts.html – whatprotect)

Of course, I would also recommend avoiding consuming any foods that are inherently risky or likely candidates for contamination.

No food is automatically and exclusively safe from contamination!

According to The Partnership for Food Safety Education (http://www.fightbac.org/): “Despite progress improving the quality and safety of foods, the CAST report explains, “any raw agricultural product can be contaminated. Bacteria may survive despite aggressive controls at the processing level, or the food may become contaminated somewhere along the way during transport, preparation, cooking, serving, and storage.” (http://www.fightbac.org/about-foodborne-illness/challenges)

It has to do with the growing risk of Microbial and Mycological hazards. They cite the nonprofit Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST), which has reported that zero risk of microbiological hazards is not possible and no method will eliminate all pathogens or toxins from the food chain (“Food Safety and Fresh Produce: An Update”, 2009).

What can I do to have a safer experience consuming vegetables and raw foods?

There are a few opinions but there is also within them a generally accepted standard for the safety of your veggies. The recommendations stated in the above-referenced reports are:

Food handling and preparation practices are the last line of defense for preventing infection from E. coli O157:H7 and other foodborne pathogens. The following actions can help ensure the safety of the food you serve. They are especially important if you or those you are serving are at risk for foodborne illness. The groups at highest risk include pregnant women and infants, children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.

  • Wash hands thoroughly before working with food and after using the toilet, changing diapers, handling animals or helping people who have diarrhea.
  • Thoroughly wash raw fruits and vegetables just before preparing or eating them. This not only helps remove dirt, bacteria, and stubborn garden pests, but it also helps remove residual pesticides. Separate and individually rinse the leaves of spinach and lettuce. Peel potatoes, carrots, yams, and other root vegetables, or clean them well with a firm scrub brush under lukewarm running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Clean and sanitize cutting boards, utensils, and surface areas used to prepare any raw food before using them to prepare another product, especially if that food will be eaten raw. Use 3/4 teaspoon of chlorine bleach per quart.
  • Avoid cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods. Store fresh meat below produce in the refrigerator. Never place cooked meat on an unwashed plate that holds raw meat.
  • Cook ground meats thoroughly to 160 degrees F. Check the internal temperature with a thermometer.
  • Don’t drink raw milk. Also, avoid unpasteurized juices or ciders.
  • Use only safe, treated water.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Rinsing some produce, such as leafy greens, with a vinegar solution (1/2 cup distilled white vinegar per 2 cups water) followed by a clean water rinse has been shown to reduce bacterial contamination but may affect the taste.

Although bleach is recommended as a cleaning and disinfecting agent, I totally disagree with its use! Instead of chlorine bleach, which is disastrous for the environment and life on earth, I recommend using one or more of the following: Oxygenated Water, Colloidal Silver, or Vinegar. They are safe and do not cause contamination themselves!

I also don’t agree with the prohibition of Raw Milk and Dairy, provided that the origin is safe and reliable. Raw milk has been proven to have many health benefits over its pasteurized cousin. (http://www.realmilk.com/health/health-benefits-of-raw-milk-from-grass-fed-animals/)

Closing ideas on Raw Food Risks and Solutions!:

Be informed about your food choices and do the research on what you eat! No foods are inherently risk-free. This includes water. The best way to guarantee the quality of your food is to grow your own or cooperate with someone who does. Buy or use the freshest, cleanest, organic, local foods. Keep yourself and your preparation practices clean.

Always properly handle and clean your veggies or other foods properly and avoid cross-contamination issues. Rotate your diet to avoid toxic saturation, including allergens. Avoid eating Raw Chocolate in other than small amounts and on rare occasions!

Thai Yoga Mastery, The Reformation, Bio-Tapp/E.F.T., and Thai Yoga Part 1

I was first introduced to the concept of “tapping” to balance energy in the meridians by the late Grand Master of Thai Medicine, Aachan Boontum Kitniwan, in 1988. In 1991, I was introduced to a Japanese variation by the master of Shiatsu, Sensei Toshiko Phipps. The initial techniques Toshi introduced to me were performed with a little wooden hammer and probe. We would do a pulse or Hara assessment to determine which meridians and corresponding points would need balancing and then apply the probe and tap it with the hammer. Toshi also told me that it was her understanding that the technique was originally part of Tibetan and Chinese acupuncture. My feeling and sense of what these various masters told me is that the use is quite ancient and was practiced in some form throughout Asia and Southeast Asia.

Stretching Towards the Heavens, Christian Insights into Yoga Therapy:

Yoga Therapy incorporates various physical and mental practices to promote overall health. Yoga therapy is an increasingly popular approach to holistic well-being. However, some Christian practitioners have expressed concerns about the compatibility of yoga-yoga Therapy with their faith. In examining this topic, it is essential to explore the biblical concept of Chirothesia, which refers to the laying on of hands for healing.

Surprisingly, Yoga Therapy can be seen through the lens of Chirothesia, and this highlights its potential as a healing practice for Christian practitioners. Christian believers have expressed concerns about Yoga’s origins in Eastern spiritual traditions and its potential conflicts with their faith.

These concerns often revolve around the fear of compromising Christian beliefs and values.

However, it is essential to approach this topic with an open mind and seek understanding. When considering the practice of Yoga Therapy, we find a striking parallel to the biblical concept of Chirothesia. Chirothesia involves the physical touch and prayerful intervention for healing.

This biblical term is mentioned in various passages in the New Testament, such as in Mark 16:18, where Jesus instructs his followers that believers will lay hands on the sick for their healing. Drawing this connection between Yoga Therapy and Chirothesia invites us to explore the potential harmonies between these practices.

Examine the Foundations

By examining the foundational principles of yoga therapy and understanding the healing aspects of the Yoga Therapy practice, we can discern how it can align with Christian values and beliefs.

This book will delve into the foundations of Christ-centered Yoga Therapy, its healing benefits, and its principles that are shared with Christian teachings. We will also explore how Christ-centered yoga Therapy is adapted to accommodate Christian beliefs and intentions.

By seeking guidance from Christian yoga-Christ-Centered practitioners who have integrated their faith into their practice, we can understand how yoga therapy is a methodology of Chirothesia (Hands-on Healing, Meditation, and Religious Therapeutics) for Christian practitioners.

Ultimately, this booklet provides a perspective encouraging thoughtful exploration and dialogue among Christian practitioners.

We consider the potential compatibility between Christ-centered and Chirothesia. We discover how these practices complement and contribute to Christian individuals’ physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Monastic and Christ Centered Traditional Natural Medicine is Functional Medicine!

Christ-centered, Native American Medicine at American College of Natural medicine and The Thai Yoga Center

Jesus Heals the Sick

Jesus, “The Great Physician,” was famous for his healing ministry. We see healing ministry as genuine, spiritually-based medicine’s proper and true function.

You might not like what I am going to say. People are suffering from “bad” medicine or “medicine” which has an agenda other than curing illness or disease. I have a big question for those in the Christian community.

Does your faith-based organization, church, seminary, or church teach and practice Natural Medicine? Those “church” members or “goers.” we like to say that we follow Jesus and his example. We refer to Jesus as the “Great Healer,” the “Great Physician,” and we want to emulate his example, yes? Then why do not Christian organizations, churches, and seminaries not operate medical schools and programs teaching the type of medicine Jesus practiced?

Why do 99% of self-identifying Christians go to Allopathic, Technocratic, Collectivist, or Secular (Atheist) Corporate medical care at the first sniffle, cough, or illness of any kind? For thousands of years, 99% of health care was practiced by the “church.”The term “Hospital” was invented and coined by Christian Monastic Physicians to denote a place where healing was physically administered both in the name of and the likeness of Jesus as a role model.

These Monastic Medical institutions treated every we treat today with functional medicine for a thousand years up to the 1920s and 30s. When this function was abolished, mainly to corporations and governments. The past three years’ health, social, and medical debacles illustrate my point perfectly, as the “modern” medical establishment has not only failed but directly contributed to the failure and ongoing harm to millions.

Ask yourself the question. Why does your church, your religious organization, NOT teach the principles of Health and Health Freedom? Why are ordained ministers, not each and everyone, a minister also of Health, Medicine, curing disease, and supporting the wellness of the physical body as well as the spirit? Why do your ministers and pastors recommend you submit to corporate and social agenda-based health care for your many illnesses, and why does your church not have a medical mission or function?

Jesus, “The Great Physician,” was famous for his healing ministry. We see healing ministry as the proper and true function of genuine, spiritually-based medicine.

We can help correct this glaring absence of function. We can rectify this. We can help you, your organization, your church, and your community create a medical function and eventually an independent medical seminary and school able to prepare ministers for medical practice based on functional and biblical supported medical practice, which is moral, ethical, and in the likeness of Jesus as a role model.

NCBTMB Massage Board Approved Provider

We are continuing the work begun in SomaVeda® CTP1. A strict prerequisite on the CTP1 or higher SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification is required. This Advanced SomaVeda® Program is offered as a Seminary of the NAIC and suitable for all NAIC Authorized Ministers, Practitioners, and Teachers. During this Level Three Certification Program, we will offer NAIC Ceremony, Sacred Sweat Lodge Purification/Healing Instruction, and practice.

Explore in detail the “Lanna Thai” or Northern Style Chinese and Hill tribe influence on hands-on healing by learning the eight basic flows of the SomaVeda® Northern method. These flow (Traditional Vinyasa), although similar to those of the ITM, Old Medicine Hospital, and Mama Lek Chaiya style Traditions, are taught in a manner and context with supplemental information unique to the SomaVeda® program. Typically taught in Thailand in ten days, we have cultivated the “Express” version for Western students and presented the same and more information in only seven days! This course is an Indigenous Traditional Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy training and certification program. It is recommended for Thai Yoga Therapy Practitioner and Thai Yoga Therapy Teacher certification.

Achan Sintorn Chaichagun with Ajahn Dr. Anthony B. James, Old Medicine Hospital, Chiangmai, Thailand 1986

I have been teaching and offering professional courses in Nuad Boran, Northern or “Lanna” style Traditional Thai Medical Massage (Thai Marmachikitsa-YogaTherapy) since becoming a recognized teacher in the Northern Style under several different Lanna schools and traditions as listed above. We temporarily suspended this Nuad Boran instruction due to the pandemic. However, we are excited to offer LIVE, in-person certificate courses again. As a recognized Ajahn and Master of this regional Style of Thai Traditional Medicine, I look forward to bringing Nuad Boran, Northern Style Thai Yoga: SomaVeda® Level Three, to you and your practice and clients, friends, and family. This is an Advanced SomaVeda® Certificate course which means there are prerequisites required for attendance. Please email or call the office if you’re uncertain whether you qualify to attend.

Nuat Boran Thai Northern Style Traditional Thai Yoga Therapy

 

Understanding the Energetic Anatomy and Physiology, the Ten Principles of Sen, Nadis, and Chakras are deepened. Basic Western anatomy and physiology as it applies to the SomaVeda® Nuad Boran (Chiang Mai style) are introduced now. The role of the breath in partnership within the therapeutic encounter is discussed and practiced more intently. The course is predominately hands-on, with a thorough introduction to the underlying philosophy and energy theory. This course focuses on using Puja or intentional affirmations and mantras in healing. This course originates from the Shivago lineage; we will learn and practice the Om Namo Mantra daily. This class is “hands-on” and quite intensive. It is designed to take your SomaVeda® Thai Yoga therapy experience to a higher level.
