The Brain-Gut Connection with Dr. Emeran Mayer

 


I watched an excellent video about  Human Biomes, in contrast to deserts, forests, grazing land.

The idea, promoted by Dr. Emeran Mayer, is to observe how the brain relates to digestion and how digestion relates to the brain. There is constant interaction, which explains why someone in a foul, depressed, or happy mood can affect how the body is processing food. I was holding the pan for a hospital patient, post-surgery, when she began heave. I almost did myself, a reaction I also had when a cat was having kittens. Nothing happened, as WELSians like to say, but my brain got my heave-ho reactions going anyway.

8 Foods That Will Give Your Brain a Serotonin Boost Right Now

Another video called Foods That Cure Disease, Plant Based Disease-Free Life, showed up on Amazon's Prime Videos. A few distinguished and very old doctors talked about the relationship between commercial food production and the healing benefits of plant-based nutrition. They offered actual research about groups of people who had maladies improve or get worse, based on their food habits. There is as much nonsense from the food charlatans as among the big industry food producers. The researchers pointed out the conference that launched the Mediterranean Diet and made big money by making people believe olive oil would cure their problems. In fact, the Mediterranean people had lower disease rates because their diets were mostly plants, not olive oil.

The doctors repeatedly emphasized the relationship between animal protein and cancer. America's rates are much higher than other countries, and those who come to America approach the same level of cancers, male and female. The doctors also emphasized the overuse of salt, sugar, and fats of all kind.

One journalist created some meals with much healthier foods (plants, raw and cooked) and asked the doctors questions. 

My vegetable consultant gave me great tips on gathering the food and I responded with the great value of fresh fruits, vegetables, greens, nuts, and seeds. I also began learning anew what herbs and spices can do.

He advised that I get plenty of items that tended to disappear, so I get Cicero beans by the 12-pack. Frozen mushrooms almost disappeared during Christmas, so I get 6 bags to have enough. Tomato paste started showing up in peewee sized cans for the holidays. I suspected Bloody Marys rather than tomato-mania. 

Lately he advised me on teas, which are so much more tempting than coffee beans. He was right in shunning flavored teas but I like a few choices from Bigelow and various basic teas from Britain. 

I suggest going with the plant-based diet overall and a little meat each day, not fish. Based on Dr. Joel Fuhrman and related experts, these food groups should be the most ignored:

  1. All processed food because of sugar, salt, and fat. Bye-bye McDonalds and frozen pizzas.
  2. All dairy products because of their fat and cancer-causing statistics.
  3. All "fruit" which is turned into sugar water and offered as nutritious. Apple sauce too.
  4. Reliance on meat because it is used too much and offers so little beyond animal protein and salt.

A Definition from a Book of Concord Illiterate, Posted on an Inept Discussion Blog. They Have Yet To Find Luther on Their Confused Quest, But They Have Pleased Their Father Below.


The Chief Article in the entire Christian doctrine is Justification by Faith, as taught by Luther, Melanchthon, and Martin Chemnitz. Both Martins earned their doctorates and Melanchthon deserved one, but he was judged too young looking.  Walther earned a bachelor's degree only but demanded that everyone obey his Pietistic notions and insights from Martin Stephan, STD.

Calling those who agree with "the entire Christian doctrine" are called "deniers" by Joe Krohn. That means the Apostle Paul was a "denier."

Note that the ludicrous faith-denying F. Pieper gang cut out Romans 4:24 in the sanctified Brief Statement 1932 - so they could chant, as Rolf Preus always did - "raised again for our justification, raised again for our justification." Apparently he used Wite-Out in his studies. 

This works wonders for Romans 4:24. Ask Rolf!


KJV Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

KJV Romans 5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.




Now we know the LQ story, in just a few words.

"The problem with the deniers is their view of hoi polloi. Try to pin them down and you get obfuscation and diversion. The Greek is quite plain in the objective sense. I would expect to see something along the lines of "oligoi" if OJ were not true. Christ stood in mankind's place and justice was served against sin, death and the devil in God's court."

The cover of Matt Harrison's ghosted campaign book needed some editing, so I helped to make it a bit more honest. Stephan, a Pietist, gave his STD to young women, which Walther worked into a riot to depose the bishop and steal his land, money, books, and personal items. Forcing Stephan across the river was a felony, kidnapping, and so were the thefts. Walther's circle was comprised of Pietists who followed Stephan and kept the secrets.

Epiphany 4 Epistle Sermon - "This, like the two preceding epistle lessons, is admonitory, and directs our attention to the fruits of faith. Here, however, Paul sums up briefly all the fruits of faith, in love."

TEXT:

ROMANS 13:8-10. 8 Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.


CHRISTIAN LOVE AND THE COMMAND TO LOVE.

1. This, like the two preceding epistle lessons, is admonitory, and directs our attention to the fruits of faith. Here, however, Paul sums up briefly all the fruits of faith, in love. In the verses going before he enjoined subjection to temporal government — the rendering of tribute, custom, fear and honor wherever due — since all governmental power is ordained of God.

Then follows our lesson: “Owe no man anything,” etc.

2. I shall ignore the various explanations usually invented for this command, “Owe no man anything, but to love one another.” To me, clearly and simply it means: Not as men, but as Christians, are we under obligations. Our indebtedness should be the free obligation of love. It should not be compulsory and law-prescribed. Paul holds up two forms of obligation: one is inspired by law, the other by love.

Legal obligations make us debtors to men; an instance is when one individual has a claim upon another for debt. The duties and tribute, the obedience and honor, we owe to political government are of this legal character. Though personally these things are not essential to the Christian — they do not justify him nor make him more righteous — yet, because he must live here on earth, he is under obligation, so far as outward conduct is concerned, to put himself on a level with other men in these things, and generally to help maintain temporal order and peace. Christ paid tribute money as a debt ( Matthew 17:27), notwithstanding he had told Peter he was under no obligation to do so and would have committed no sin before God in omitting the act.

3. Another obligation is love, when a Christian voluntarily makes himself a servant of all men. Paul says ( 1 Corinthians 9:19), “For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all.” This is not a requirement of human laws; no one who fails in this duty is censured or punished for neglect of legal obligations. The world is not aware of the commandment to love; of the obligation to submit to and serve a fellowman.

This fact is very apparent. Let one have wealth, and so long as he refrains from disgracing his neighbor’s wife, from appropriating his neighbor’s goods, sullying his honor or injuring his person, he is, in the eyes of the law, righteous. No law punishes him for avarice and penuriousness; for refusing to lend, to give, to aid, and to help his wronged neighbor secure justice. Laws made for restraint of the outward man are directed only toward evil works, which they prohibit and punish. Good works are left to voluntary performance. Civil law does not extort them by threats and punishment, but commends and rewards them, as does the Law of Moses.

4. Paul would teach Christians to so conduct themselves toward men and civil authority as to give no occasion for complaint or censure because of unfulfilled indebtedness to temporal law. He would not have them fail to satisfy the claims of legal obligation, but rather to go beyond its requirements, making themselves debtors voluntarily and serving those who have no claims on them. Relative to this topic, Paul says ( Romans 1:14), “I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians.” Love’s obligation enables a man to do more than is actually required of him. Hence the Christian always willingly renders to the state and to the individual all service exacted by temporal regulations, permitting no claims upon himself in this respect.
