Medicine Wheel of Plant Uses

Change the answer to question 3 and move it to the South.

1. What part?

Soybeans

2. When harvested?

When ripe.

3. How prepared?

Fermented for at least two years. The resulting bean paste is called miso; the liquid that rises to the top of the fermentation vessel is tamari.

4. How much consumed?

In small amounts daily as an anti-cancer protective.

Change the answer to question 3 and move it to the Southwest.

1. What part?

Soybeans

2. When harvested

When ripe.

3. How prepared?

Soaked in alkaline solutions, rinsed with solvents, and turned into soy beverage, tofu, soy cheese, soysage, soy protein isolate, and other fake foods.

4. How much consumed?

The more consumed, the greater the risk to the health of the bones and the immune system. The narrower the diet, the greater the damage done by the consumption of soy fakefoods. That is, in a vegan diet, soy causes maximum harm; in a broad-based diet, which includes animal products, soy causes minimal harm.

Plants of the East: Edible Seeds

Sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, amaranth, quinoa, nettle, yellow dock, chickweed, lamb's quarter, kasha (buckwheat)

1. What part?

The seeds.

2. When harvested?

When ripe and dry. No mould!

3. How prepared?

Cooked thoroughly. Or roasted immediately before consumption. Few phytates, lots of protein.

4. How much consumed?

Moderate amounts; up to a cup a day.

In a healthy diet, the occasional white sugar treat is not a problem. In a diet lacking real nourishment, white sugar is the wild card that disturbs our real cravings for food and makes it difficult to trust our body.

The first taste (after birth) is sweet. Have you ever tasted mother's milk? There is nothing sweeter. Sweetness is the taste of life. The desire for sweet is the desire for life. We never outgrow our need for, or desire for, sweet.

Because there are few sweet foods in nature, we are "programmed" (by the genes of our ancestors who survived) to search out and eat as much sweet as we can. Interestingly enough, it is hard to overeat natural sweets such as fresh and dried fruits, honey, and maple syrup.

When refined sweets are constantly available, our genetic program can't say, "Stop". Refined sugars contain no nutrients, so we continue to crave them no matter how much we eat.

I meet many women who tell me they are trying to eliminate sweets from their diet. Not only do I hope they will fail -- for craving sweets is craving life, and if we don't crave sweetness, we have somehow given up on life -- I hope they fail quickly, before they injure their physical and emotional health in the attempt. In fact, I believe artificial sweeteners can trigger depression.
