Latest / Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy / "Processed Meats: Separating Fact from Fiction"...
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
- 0:06Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
- 0:10Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
- 0:13Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
- 0:16Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
- 0:20Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. You know, at first glance,
- 0:36Speaker 2: I get some things that come across my desk and
- 0:38Speaker 2: I think, oh, that makes sense, and then I read
- 0:40Speaker 2: the article, and then things begin to come to light.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And as I say that, I was like, Okay, so
- 0:47Speaker 2: this article's on processed meat, and that there's no amount
- 0:52Speaker 2: of processed meat that is safe. I'm thinking, huh, all
- 0:57Speaker 2: right again, on face value, it seems reasonable processing of
- 1:02Speaker 2: any kind of food. We've always talked about in my
- 1:04Speaker 2: podcast is the more you process something, the worse it
- 1:06Speaker 2: is for you. Well, let's just read the first couple
- 1:10Speaker 2: of lines here. So it says research published recently in
- 1:14Speaker 2: the Journal of Nature Medicine looked at more than sixty
- 1:17Speaker 2: earlier studies on how diet. Now, wait a minute, says
- 1:22Speaker 2: experts say there's no safe amount of process meat. Okay,
- 1:28Speaker 2: well you just said that diet. You didn't talk about
- 1:32Speaker 2: process meat, although processed meat might be in your diet.
- 1:36Speaker 2: But let's keep reading studies on how diet affects the
- 1:39Speaker 2: risk of type two diabetes, colon cancer, and heart disease. Well,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I would say that's probably an undisputed fact, and it
- 1:46Speaker 2: wouldn't take sixty earlier studies to convince me of that,
- 1:49Speaker 2: or probably too many people. However, then it said the
- 1:52Speaker 2: habitual consumption of even small amounts of process meat, comma,
- 1:58Speaker 2: sugary drinks. What that's not processed meat, that's sugary drinks, comma,
- 2:05Speaker 2: and trans fatty acids is linked to increased risk of
- 2:10Speaker 2: developing type two diabetes, ischemic heart disease, which means lack
- 2:14Speaker 2: of oxygen to your heart most likely occluded blood vessels,
- 2:18Speaker 2: and colorectal cancer. I'm thinking, why did you need to
- 2:23Speaker 2: lump sugary drinks and trans fatty acids. Doesn't process meat
- 2:27Speaker 2: stand on its own, and that always gets me wondering
- 2:31Speaker 2: when they do something like that. It's like all of
- 2:34Speaker 2: the articles on the flu kills sixty thousand people a year.
- 2:40Speaker 2: And then you read the article and it says the
- 2:43Speaker 2: flu and influenza or pneumonia. Sorry, it says influenza and
- 2:50Speaker 2: pneumonia kills sixty thousand people a year. Thinking okay, well,
- 2:52Speaker 2: influenza is the flu, but pneumonia, well they go hand
- 2:57Speaker 2: in hand, and so that's why. Well, then when you
- 2:59Speaker 2: dig into the article, you realize that fifty nine thousand,
- 3:02Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy whatever died of pneumonia, and like
- 3:08Speaker 2: five or six hundred people died of the flu each year.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Five or six hundred people is like less than point
- 3:15Speaker 2: zero zero one percent or something crazy like that of
- 3:19Speaker 2: people in our country. Are you worried about something that
- 3:22Speaker 2: affects somebody like one out of out of one hundred
- 3:26Speaker 2: thousand or one out of a million. No, I'm really
- 3:30Speaker 2: not worried about that. Why was one person out of
- 3:32Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dying of the flu? How healthy was
- 3:35Speaker 2: that person? You know? These are the kinds of things
- 3:37Speaker 2: that when we look at it, we have to really
- 3:39Speaker 2: dig in about what are they trying to accomplish. Are
- 3:42Speaker 2: they trying to just make us afraid, which is common,
- 3:45Speaker 2: or do they have an agenda or both, and it's
- 3:47Speaker 2: probably both. They're probably trying to make us afraid and
- 3:50Speaker 2: have an agenda. I wanted to read something to you.
- 3:53Speaker 2: This is back in the eighteen eighties, and they said
- 3:58Speaker 2: likely in eighteen eighties. John Swinton s W I N
- 4:04Speaker 2: T O N then, the prominent New York journalist, so
- 4:08Speaker 2: you can look him up your own self, was the
- 4:11Speaker 2: guest of honor at a banquet given him by the
- 4:14Speaker 2: leaders of his craft, someone who neither knew neither the
- 4:19Speaker 2: press nor Swinton offered a toast to the Independent Press.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Swinson outraged his colleagues by replying, now this is a journalist.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I want to preface this because you're like, what, how
- 4:32Speaker 2: do you just transition so fast? So here we have
- 4:35Speaker 2: an article written by Medicine Net and they're trying to
- 4:40Speaker 2: tell us something. But they're not necessarily being so forthcoming
- 4:44Speaker 2: with correct information. They're wanting something to be known about
- 4:48Speaker 2: processed meat or trying to get us afraid. Now we'll
- 4:51Speaker 2: get to that, because they slip in processed meat, sugary
- 4:54Speaker 2: drinks and trans fatty acids. Now, I think anybody who
- 4:57Speaker 2: realizes sugary drinks and trans fatty acids which are fats
- 5:01Speaker 2: that have been degraded and are weakened. And basically, since
- 5:05Speaker 2: a lot of our hormones are made out of fats,
- 5:07Speaker 2: our cell membranes are made out of fat. Our brain
- 5:10Speaker 2: is like seventy or eighty percent fat. I can't quite
- 5:12Speaker 2: remember the number, but it's high. So if we have
- 5:16Speaker 2: poor fats making up really important organ systems and cell structures,
- 5:20Speaker 2: are we going to live very long? Well? I think
- 5:23Speaker 2: we could all be like, well, duhr doesn't sound like it.
- 5:26Speaker 2: You'd be right that trans fats would be really detrimental
- 5:31Speaker 2: to any anybody. I don't care who you are. Sugary drinks,
- 5:35Speaker 2: we just get it. Sugar is just depleting us of
- 5:38Speaker 2: all kinds of nutrients to try to process those carbohydrates
- 5:41Speaker 2: and then creating inflammation and feeding infection and all kinds
- 5:45Speaker 2: of things. Okay, well, those two things together are going
- 5:46Speaker 2: to do most everything, especially like the diabetes, these schemic
- 5:50Speaker 2: heart disease, and the corrective cancers are going to be
- 5:53Speaker 2: definitely handled by those two. So why are you trying
- 5:56Speaker 2: to push processed meats in there now? Granted, an oscar
- 5:59Speaker 2: my hotdog probably isn't the best thing for us, and
- 6:02Speaker 2: probably has a lot of nitrates, nitrites, and who knows
- 6:04Speaker 2: what in it, and a bunch of sugar. But not
- 6:07Speaker 2: all processed meats are created equals, so to speak. And
- 6:09Speaker 2: we'll get there too. But I want to finish this.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So here you have this Swinson or Swinton, and he
- 6:15Speaker 2: outrages his colleagues by saying this, and I quote, there
- 6:19Speaker 2: is no such thing at this date of the world's
- 6:23Speaker 2: history in America as an independent press. You know it,
- 6:29Speaker 2: and I know it. There is no one, excuse me,
- 6:33Speaker 2: not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions.
- 6:37Speaker 2: And if you did, you know beforehand that it would
- 6:41Speaker 2: never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping
- 6:44Speaker 2: my honest opinions out of the paper, and I am,
- 6:49Speaker 2: or excuse me, a paper I am connected with. Others
- 6:52Speaker 2: of you are paid similar salaries for similar things. And
- 6:56Speaker 2: any of you who would be so foolish as to
- 6:59Speaker 2: write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking
- 7:02Speaker 2: for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to
- 7:06Speaker 2: appear in one issue of my paper before twenty four hours,
- 7:10Speaker 2: my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist
- 7:15Speaker 2: is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert,
- 7:21Speaker 2: to vilify, to fawn at the feet of memon, and
- 7:25Speaker 2: to sell his country and his race for his daily bread.
- 7:29Speaker 2: You know it, and I know it. And what folly
- 7:33Speaker 2: is this toasting and independent press. We are the tools
- 7:39Speaker 2: and vassals of rich men. Behind the scenes. We are
- 7:44Speaker 2: the jumping jacks. They pull the strings and we dance.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the
- 7:54Speaker 2: property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. Now this
- 8:01Speaker 2: is sourced at Labour's Untold Story by Richard O. Boyer
- 8:06Speaker 2: and Herbert Moyes, published in United Electrical, Radio and Machine
- 8:13Speaker 2: Workers of America, New York in nineteen fifty five, and
- 8:16Speaker 2: reposted in nineteen seventy nine. So this is some old stuff.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I would be hard pressed that you would even be
- 8:23Speaker 2: able to find that article today. However, at least you've
- 8:27Speaker 2: heard it here and it is referenced. So let's move on. Now,
- 8:31Speaker 2: processed meat, what do we do? It says here that
- 8:35Speaker 2: people who ate just one hot dog a day had
- 8:38Speaker 2: an eleven percent higher risk of type two diabetes and
- 8:42Speaker 2: a seven percent higher risk of colon cancer than those
- 8:46Speaker 2: who did not have any. Now, let me ask you this.
- 8:49Speaker 2: If you're going to eat one hot dog a day,
- 8:51Speaker 2: do you care about your diet and other ways too? No?
- 8:55Speaker 2: Probably not. If if you have that kind of an
- 8:59Speaker 2: eye idea in your mind that I'm going to eat
- 9:02Speaker 2: a hot dog a day, well you probably just know
- 9:06Speaker 2: that it's gonna be that that's what you're gonna get.
- 9:10Speaker 2: So then it goes on. Now it's talking about okay,
- 9:13Speaker 2: well we get diabetes there and co direct to cancer
- 9:16Speaker 2: cancer drinking about one twelve donth soda a day raise
- 9:20Speaker 2: the risk of type two diabetes by eight percent and
- 9:23Speaker 2: heart disease by two percent. I'm like two percent, So
- 9:26Speaker 2: we're really giving the problem here to drinks with heart disease.
- 9:34Speaker 2: So if you're like, oh my gosh, process meat man,
- 9:37Speaker 2: that's really bad for your heart. Well, they actually said
- 9:40Speaker 2: one hot dog a day just affected diabetes and cool
- 9:43Speaker 2: directal cancer. They actually didn't even comment on heart disease.
- 9:48Speaker 2: And if you drink a pop a day, it was
- 9:49Speaker 2: only two percent. Now, not that I want you to
- 9:51Speaker 2: go out there and start drinking pop. You might be thinking,
- 9:53Speaker 2: I thought he was a nutrition guy. Why is he
- 9:55Speaker 2: like saying all this? And that's not the point. The
- 9:58Speaker 2: point is is that they're finaggling information so that they
- 10:03Speaker 2: can do something. I'm always wondering. When I read media,
- 10:06Speaker 2: I have to literally realize I must believe the exact
- 10:10Speaker 2: opposite of what it's telling me, and so I have
- 10:13Speaker 2: to be very careful when I read something because they're
- 10:16Speaker 2: trying to get me to do something. So I'm going
- 10:18Speaker 2: to look at the obvious thing. Okay, so you have
- 10:21Speaker 2: something against process meat, got it? Let me read your
- 10:25Speaker 2: article and let me see if I can read between
- 10:27Speaker 2: the lines like we all have to do. So when
- 10:30Speaker 2: I bring information, I'm going to speak candidly, because you
- 10:33Speaker 2: know what, I don't care about their bottom line. I
- 10:38Speaker 2: care about my client's health. That's who I am indebted
- 10:42Speaker 2: to or enslaved to, if you will. Let's look at
- 10:46Speaker 2: it directly and clearly. Who are my bosses? Anybody who
- 10:50Speaker 2: pays me money is a boss. So that means that
- 10:54Speaker 2: every one of my clients that come in here, they're
- 10:57Speaker 2: my boss. I want to do what is best for
- 11:00Speaker 2: them because I like my boss and I like getting
- 11:04Speaker 2: paid really well to do what I do. Who wouldn't
- 11:08Speaker 2: If you're really good at what you do, you will
- 11:10Speaker 2: stand in front of kings, says the Bible. Well, if
- 11:14Speaker 2: I do really well, I stand in front of kings
- 11:17Speaker 2: and queens every day my clients, because they are awesome
- 11:23Speaker 2: and you are too, and you deserve to have some
- 11:26Speaker 2: understanding and some knowledge base so that you can be like, huh,
- 11:30Speaker 2: maybe I've been sold a bill of goods I didn't realize.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Let me start reading things a little bit differently. Let
- 11:36Speaker 2: me start listening to people a little bit differently. What
- 11:39Speaker 2: are they trying to accomplish? So I am trying to
- 11:42Speaker 2: accomplish enlightenment and that we can see this for what
- 11:45Speaker 2: it is. So I'm not going to really belabor the
- 11:48Speaker 2: rest of this article because now it's almost irrelevant. They
- 11:51Speaker 2: quote some articles, but it's actually quite short. What I'd
- 11:54Speaker 2: rather spend a little bit of time doing is, if
- 11:56Speaker 2: you wish you can stop now from listening to this
- 11:59Speaker 2: and go back to one of my podcasts where I
- 12:01Speaker 2: talked about pemmican, and I talked all about how to
- 12:04Speaker 2: make pemmican. If this is a new word for you,
- 12:07Speaker 2: then pemmican is something that people did for many hundreds
- 12:11Speaker 2: of years to store meat, or at least to have
- 12:15Speaker 2: it ready at the beck and call. It was kind
- 12:18Speaker 2: of like the oh Native American granola bar, but it
- 12:22Speaker 2: had no granola in it, by the way. So a
- 12:25Speaker 2: very simplistic recipe for Pemmican is you get some type
- 12:30Speaker 2: of brisket or bottom round. You could even do you know,
- 12:32Speaker 2: whatever lean beef you want. You can get a pound
- 12:36Speaker 2: of beef tallow or you know, suet, and so if
- 12:40Speaker 2: you're not sure what that is, you can look it up.
- 12:41Speaker 2: But basically it's the fat off off of the cuts
- 12:44Speaker 2: of meat that you wouldn't necessarily eat. And so you
- 12:48Speaker 2: start with three pounds of whatever lean beef, a pound
- 12:52Speaker 2: of suet or tallow, and if you wish you kind
- 12:55Speaker 2: of like it maybe a little bit sweet, you could
- 12:57Speaker 2: add a little bit of dried cranberries, maybe a half cup,
- 13:00Speaker 2: or you could do even a quarter cup of maple syrup.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Both are optional. If you're like me, you might consider
- 13:06Speaker 2: adding some raw honey. If you really have access to
- 13:11Speaker 2: some cool things, you might even do royal jelly. If
- 13:15Speaker 2: you're not familiar with royal jelly, you could make your own.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Raw honey mixed with bee pollen is how you make
- 13:23Speaker 2: royal jelly. It's what they feed the queen and why
- 13:25Speaker 2: she's so big and lives a long time because she's
- 13:28Speaker 2: gonna produce who knows how many thousands of eggs, and
- 13:32Speaker 2: so they feed her very well so that she can
- 13:34Speaker 2: keep pushing out eggs and make that col any nice
- 13:37Speaker 2: and big. So there's options there of adding that. And
- 13:41Speaker 2: ultimately what you're gonna do is you're gonna cut the
- 13:42Speaker 2: beef into strips. You're gonna dry it or cook it
- 13:46Speaker 2: on low temperature, you know, one hundred and fifty degrees
- 13:48Speaker 2: for a while until it's fairly dry and real dry.
- 13:52Speaker 2: The dryer the better. Then you're gonna basically blend that
- 13:56Speaker 2: up to its kind of course. And then you're you're
- 14:00Speaker 2: going to take your your tallow or sue it and
- 14:03Speaker 2: you're going to put it into a pan, separate pan.
- 14:06Speaker 2: You're going to boil it over you know, medium maybe
- 14:10Speaker 2: a little bit medium high heat, not too high, and
- 14:13Speaker 2: you're going to see the pieces of skin and meat
- 14:17Speaker 2: or gristle that shouldn't be there. It's going to crisp
- 14:19Speaker 2: up and turn brown. Great. Once that's happened, you're going
- 14:23Speaker 2: to take that liquid stuff and you're going to pour
- 14:26Speaker 2: it through a strainer and get all that brown stuff
- 14:29Speaker 2: out of it. The pieces of meat and things that
- 14:31Speaker 2: are left, and you should have roughly a quarter cup
- 14:33Speaker 2: excuse me, three quarters cup of rended fat. So if
- 14:36Speaker 2: you're wondering, oh, that's what rendered fat is, Yes, that's
- 14:39Speaker 2: what rended fat is. Then you're going to take that
- 14:42Speaker 2: and you're going to mix it together into a mixing
- 14:44Speaker 2: bowl and add your cranberries or your maple syrup or
- 14:47Speaker 2: your honey and be pollen, and you're just going to
- 14:52Speaker 2: continue to mix it until it gets to, you know,
- 14:56Speaker 2: a really good consistency, and then you can you can
- 14:58Speaker 2: pack it into a wide mouth jar. You can put
- 15:01Speaker 2: it into almost like a parchment paper and use them
- 15:05Speaker 2: as like little, oh little bite sized goodness that you
- 15:09Speaker 2: can take on a hiking trip for energy. I mean,
- 15:13Speaker 2: you can do all kinds of things. It can be
- 15:15Speaker 2: stored at room temperature if you have any place that's
- 15:19Speaker 2: much cooler in your house. Often it's excellent. If you
- 15:22Speaker 2: really wish to eat it just like it is, you can.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Some people do fry it up and eat it as patties.
- 15:28Speaker 2: There's all kinds of ways to do pemmican. Now that
- 15:31Speaker 2: would be the original kind of processed meat. So let's
- 15:35Speaker 2: go into a little bit of what processed meat would
- 15:38Speaker 2: probably be better for you than others. Now, I always
- 15:42Speaker 2: go on how I feel and how my body performs.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Let me explain, if I were constipated, I definitely would
- 15:50Speaker 2: buy your mainstream, run of the mill beef jerky that
- 15:55Speaker 2: everybody gets advertised from or too by all these big companies.
- 16:00Speaker 2: I will not mention their names. And the moment that
- 16:02Speaker 2: I eat even a couple of bites, just give me
- 16:05Speaker 2: about twelve to fourteen hours, I will be in the
- 16:07Speaker 2: bathroom and my bowels will be moving quite fast. Indeed,
- 16:12Speaker 2: So when I eat beef jerky or a very good
- 16:18Speaker 2: summer sausage from my local butcher that knows how to
- 16:22Speaker 2: do it and makes it fresh, and I get it
- 16:24Speaker 2: from them and I start slicing it up, it actually
- 16:27Speaker 2: molds quite quickly, which is awesome. That means it's very alive,
- 16:33Speaker 2: and when I eat it, I can eat it without
- 16:35Speaker 2: any repercussions to my bowels. So when I tell you,
- 16:39Speaker 2: how does your body perform on what you're eating? Now,
- 16:42Speaker 2: if you're used to eating Oscar Meyer hot dogs, you're
- 16:45Speaker 2: probably going to have bowels that are resistant to flinching
- 16:49Speaker 2: when you put that daily into your system, but you
- 16:52Speaker 2: if you eat real food, salads, vegetables, you know, home
- 16:57Speaker 2: cooked stuff, and then you go ahead and put one
- 16:59Speaker 2: of those hot dogs into your stomach, you may not
- 17:03Speaker 2: like how the bathroom is, or some people will literally
- 17:06Speaker 2: throw up. I am reminded of when I did some
- 17:09Speaker 2: deep cleaning and cleansing of my body for about a month,
- 17:12Speaker 2: and I thought, you know what, I'm going to go
- 17:15Speaker 2: have a monster taco. I know, I know you can
- 17:19Speaker 2: giggle and look aghast. I would too, but again I
- 17:23Speaker 2: was young. I was probably twenty years ago when I
- 17:25Speaker 2: didn't know any better, and I still kind of liked
- 17:28Speaker 2: monster tacos. And I went and had two, and within
- 17:32Speaker 2: oh my goodness, it couldn't have been half an hour,
- 17:35Speaker 2: I threw them both up. My body's like, you just
- 17:38Speaker 2: did thirty days of that, and now you're going to
- 17:42Speaker 2: put this in me? Are you insane? You may have
- 17:46Speaker 2: it back post haste. And so it was a wake
- 17:49Speaker 2: up call at that point. Huh. The more clean I
- 17:53Speaker 2: make my body, the quicker it tells me what it
- 17:56Speaker 2: likes and doesn't like. Now, most of us, I won't
- 17:59Speaker 2: say most of us, Okay, there are people out there
- 18:01Speaker 2: that might have done that and said, Wow, I must
- 18:03Speaker 2: have got a stomach bug or something. No, And some
- 18:07Speaker 2: people look at that and say, I don't want my
- 18:09Speaker 2: body that sensitive. Trust me, you do, because it will
- 18:13Speaker 2: tell you when it doesn't like what you're doing that's
- 18:16Speaker 2: actually causing it harm. And you now know when to
- 18:20Speaker 2: steer the boat in a different direction. Do you want
- 18:23Speaker 2: to have some seaweed brushing the bottom of your boat
- 18:27Speaker 2: and think, hey, that grows in shallow areas, all halt,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I don't want to run into a reef? Or do
- 18:36Speaker 2: you not want to feel that seaweed? So to speak,
- 18:40Speaker 2: full on ahead and plow a massive gash in your
- 18:43Speaker 2: boat and watch it sink to the bottom and ruin it.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Because that's what your body's trying to tell you. Look,
- 18:50Speaker 2: I'm trying to give you signs so that you will
- 18:52Speaker 2: not do this. I'm trying to be as sensitive as
- 18:55Speaker 2: I can for you so that you know what is
- 18:57Speaker 2: a good decision and what is a bad decision. For us,
- 19:01Speaker 2: that is the sensitivity of the body. So I hope
- 19:03Speaker 2: that was kind of helpful. I know we kind of
- 19:07Speaker 2: meandered around towards from process meat to sugar to fatty
- 19:12Speaker 2: acids and talked about what does real process meat look like?
- 19:16Speaker 2: What is good? What is bad? Word to get it?
- 19:18Speaker 2: What could you make your own? There are all kinds

- 19:32Speaker 2: know more about when it comes to processed meats or
- 19:36Speaker 2: other things, shoot me a line. I'd love to hear

- 19:41Speaker 2: until next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is
- 19:44Speaker 2: way more right with you than there is wrong with you.
