Movie: The Beautiful Truth



The Beautiful Truth Website
(http://www.thebeautifultruthmovie.com/)

The Beautiful Truth emphasizes that what we eat and what environment we live in is directly connected to our well being and eating well through Gerson therapy can cure termical cancer patients. Sometimes even when the cure is so simple and possible, politics influence and greed of pharmaceutical and medical industries deliberately disguise the truth about curing cancer.

The message I got was stay away from processed foods and eat organic, local and pure whole foods. No irradiation, No GMO, no additives (MSG, etc.),

The beautiful truth description reads, "... Growing up on an Alaskan animal reserve, Garrett’s father recognized his son’s interest in the dietary habits of their animals. That prompted him to assign a book written by Dr. Max Gerson, which maintains that there is a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer. Fascinated and curious, Garrett embarks on a cross-country road trip to investigate the merits of The Gerson Therapy. He meets with scientists, doctors and cancer survivors who reveal how the multi-billion dollar medical industry has made it their mission to dismiss the notion of alternative and natural cures."

It is very sad that we are only ignorant customers of big companies to make profit off of our health, but it is also encouraging to see some community actions that improve this conditions.

I have read many books in traditional oriental diet and natural medicine that foods are medicines. Therefore, what we eat should be healing and maintaining our health.

Also natural farming talks about vital energy in vegetables grown under natural conditions without any fertilizers as Mokichi Okada clearly explains that fertilizers both chemical and organic origins are poisons that contaminate the soil. When the soil is kept clean, and seeds with residual poisons removed, vegetables grow without pest problems and many previously terminal cancer patients documented their recovery from cancer. but why are we hesitant to believe this?

I do believe that healthy foods heal sickness, and Iwill continue to farm to keep the soil clean and produce pure and healthy foods and lifestyle.

Green tea infused sake and avocado sashimi

Image
My favorite green tea and avocado combo is premium green tea infused sake and avocado sashimi.  Avocado is rich and creamy, and texture reminds me of toro, or fatty tuna and uni, or sea urchin. Mauna Kea Premium green tea is cold infused at room temperature for 5 hours in Kikusui junmai ginjo sake.  1 tablespoon (0.25oz) of green tea to 1/2 cup of this sake is a bit more than what I would use for brewing in hot water. I first got the idea of infusing green tea in alcohol from chemical analysis done at University of Hawaii, Hilo (UH Hilo).  They extracted and measured EGCg, Theanine and caffeine contents of green tea with boiling water, but what struck me was that their baseline concentrations of EGCg, Theanine and caffeine were extracted with methanol for 1/2 hour. MK premium Green extraction Theanine % Caffeine % EGCg % Boiling water 0.45% 0.35% 0.83% Methanol 0.11% 0.28% 1.73% High level of EGCg makes alcohol extraction bitter? Methanol extraction showed high level of

Red Bean Bread - anko remix

Image
I was going to make anko from azuki red beans and honey or cane sugar, but I didn't cook beans long enough so that it was still crunchy. Generally it gets soft all the way much like re-fried bean. Anyway, instead of using this red bean chunky mush as anko, or red bean filling in a bun, I mixed it in a dough. Here is the recipe. 4 cups flour (3:1 ratio of white and whole wheat) 1 1/2 cups water 1/2 tablespoon commercial yeast or use your own yeast culture 2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup chunky red bean paste 1 teaspoon ginger powder black sesami seeds note that there is no sugar added to yeast to rise. Instead of adding sugar, I use 1 cup flour, salt, ginger powder, olive oil and yeast mixed in 1 1/2 cup water and let it rise at 90 - 100F in an oven for 60 - 90 min. Once it gets a little bubbly, add the remaining flour to the mix and keep kneading. Also mix in the red bean paste once the dough starts to get more maneuverable without sticking to your hands too much. Make

Tea, Pests, Disease and Pesticides, Hidden truth of unknown cause.

We hear quite a few incidence of pesticide contamination from Chinese tea.  One might wonder what is really happening with tea grown in China or anywhere else.  I remember a lot of farmers in Japan telling me that tea always attracts pests, and pesticides and tea are always inseparable.  Although it sounds like a reasonable excuse for tea farmers, but I believe there is much deeper cause of this tea, pest and disease relationship. Tea, pests, disease and pesticides are almost always big topics among tea farmers.  Because there are pests and disease, farmers have to spray or else they lose the crop or the harvest will be heavily damaged.  So the farmers go out and spray once, twice, three times.... and on and on until they are through with their annual cycle.  In Japan, some tea farmers brag about only spraying 5-6 times in one year.  They are considered eco-farmers. In my past 7 years of tea cultivation, there has never been a time I had to spray.  Should I say, I intentionally let
