First of all, thank you for welcoming me!

I have a mother and two brothers. One of the brothers is one year younger
than me. The other one is 13. He's name is Johan.

When I visit my family members, I always present them my new ideas,
speculations and what I've read about health. I don't give any advice. I
let them decide for themselves what they want to do with the
given
information. They always listen to me patiently but only my mother and the
younger brother seem to react. The older one is an artist :).

In the beginning of 2002 I told them that I no longer eat refined sugar and
products containing refined sugar, and I explained why. Johan and my mother
decided to do like me, but after a while they ate refined sugar products
again. I explained them once more with other terms the reason why I avoid
refined sugar and told them which products contain it. My mother hasn't
probably eaten any refined sugar products since then, only under extreme
social pressure, she has told me, but Johan soon ate them again. He
understood that I didn't like it, so he begged me to explain things once
again but with simpler terms. I summarized the information with one and
only one sentence: "Refined sugar is poison!". That did the trick. I truly
admire him now. When he's given cand
ies or cookies with other kids when not
at home, he takes them and uses them to make business with other kids or
to "drug them". When he becomes older I'll loan him my copy of "Sugar
Blues".

The benefits? My concentration became sharper. My stomach felt better. My
mothers cellulites disappeared almost completely. Johan was no longer
hyperactive and nervous.

In the summer of 2002 I told my family what I had read about pasteurized
milk and pasteurized milk products and they immediately stopped consuming
these things. I was amazed over my power. My mother soon established
contact with a local farmer who now provides her and Johan with raw milk.
They love it. Too bad I can't join them. After drinking raw milk a couple
of times I suddenly became very weak. I avoided raw milk until I regained
some strenght and then tried it again with the same result.

In the beginning of autumn 2002 I told my family wh
at I had read about
cereal grains and about my decision to avoid seeds and potatos altogether.
I told them that my decision to avoid ALL seeds was very speculative. Their
reaction was to do like me. My power over them started to scare me. I
pointed out several times that I was only experimenting and that they only
had to look around themselves to realise that some people live long,
apparently healthy lives on cereal grains and other seeds, and different
products of grains and other seeds. But they continued to do like me.

My mothers cellulites vanished completely. Her look became younger and
fresher. She noticed it herself too. She stopped talking about her weight
all the time because it had somehow become normal and stabilized.

My friends and relatives? Not all know what I'm up to. Most of those who do
accept my lifestyle but seem to think I'm strange, because, as they say,
everybody eats candies, cookie
s, milk products and bread. "People have done
it for hundreds of years!" Some of my relatives and acquaintances have said
that I'm steeling Johan the joy of childhood, because he doesn't eat
icecream and stuff like other kids. They have expressed their concern that
Johan doesn't get all the nutrient he needs to grow up.

This is what I usually eat: (My mother and Johan have a much broader menu.)

FRUITS: apples, oranges and rose hip
VEGETABLES: carrots and cabbage
NUTS: hazelnuts and walnuts
FAT: lard, suet and bone marrow
ORGANS: calf liver
ANIMAL-MEAT: lamb, beef amd moose
FISH: salmon, mackerels and sardines
BIRDS: chicken
EGGS

This menu is very narrow, but I feel just fine on it, for now, and it
doesn't mean I don't like all other sorts of fruits, vegetables, animals,
birds and fishes. If you find that this menu lacks some essential nutrie
nt,
please let me know, because my knowledge about biochemistry is not
sufficient to determine that.

I eat fruits, vegetables and nuts uncooked. They taste much better that way
I think. I like my meat dried or slightly cooked on the surface. One of the
things I like a lot is cooked fishheads.

I only eat when I'm hungry. I usually am not hungry before noon.

Maybe I've been too honest with my introduction and information about
myself, but I hope I have landed among good people.
