So you say you make no claims in your book,,, I beg to differ (Pt 5)

“You follow a healthy diet you get nutrients. When you have explosive diarrhoea, waterfalls or whatever she likes to call them it is explosive diarrhoea you lose all nutrients. So basically she contradicts herself in everything she says and doesn’t even understand what she says.” 

~A friend

WARNING::  Welcome to chapter 6, please make sure you are sitting with your feet firmly planted on the ground.  It is suggested that any loose objects that can be thrown are removed from your vicinity for your protection as well as others.  It is also very strongly suggested that you DO NOT follow any advice given in this chapter, make that the entire book, if you prefer to see your next birthday!!

 

“Uniformity creates consistency”.  If your a manufacturing process, that is very true. Uniformity in diet, what you eat, can be very boring. That does not mean we should make bad food choices, but variation is good.

“Please do not question too much about the diet and the protocol because it’s there for a reason,,,” Typical alleged diet guru speak for only my diet (protocol) works. As I have stated in regards to the “alkali diet” BS, balanced plant based diets that eliminate processed foods, restrict carbs and fatty protein intake, will benefit most eaters. An overly restrictive diet lacking in protein, such as Jillian's' are bound to failure.

“We have lived in the Tower of Babel with all their different ideas of diets for such a long time. Now, we have just one diet and just one juice.” Probably the only statement of Jillian's I agree with (minus the TOB reference).  Although we still have many diets and juices.

“Take away the food in this diet that doesn’t work for you physically, spiritually and ethically, but please do not add to it.” You also state on page 15 that the inclusion of chicken is optional as well as this statement on page 16, “I have to factor in all cross sections of people with religious preferences, diet preferences, food allergies and even picky eaters. It almost doesn’t matter what a person eats, so as long as they are taking in massive amounts of my recipe,,,”.

But yet in recent FB postings you castigated a minion and anyone who advocates for a plant based diet. WTF do you think your diet is Jillian? The only animal product on you diet is chicken and eggs. That's it!!

 

Oh wait, I spoke too soon. Seems Jillian has made other exceptions in her book as she realizes not all people desire to be vegan or vegetarian. So what exactly are you promoting Jillian? It sounds to me as you would prefer those on your protocol to be vegan or vegetarian. As our above critic states, “So basically she contradicts herself in everything she says,,,”.

As Inoted in the last post, Jillian is against the ingestion of sugar. Unless it's fruit. Which she justifies, 

  

IOWs you're purging it all out!!

I am beginning to think that Jillian has no clue what fermenting is or how fermenting works.

  

“Not all fermented foods are created alike. When you ferment fruit as well as using sugar to ferment you are actually creating more food for the Candida,,,” Uhm,,, what exactly do you think you are doing when you make (alleged) fermented cabbage juice?

Whether you are lacto-fermenting or doing alcoholic fermentation both are converting sugars. Alcoholic or ethanol fermentation is the process in which the sugars glucose, fructose and sucrose in food is converted to energy. Lactic fermentation is a similar process in which sugars are converted to energy. Lactic fermentation, however, can be more widely used when preserving foods. (FYI:: In total there are five type of fermentation with lacto-fermenting broken further down too what some call “wild” or “natural” vs a “starter ferment”. For our purposes we are only concerned with lacto-fermenting.) 

This next little bit I only include because it highlights how fucking stupid Epperly is. She states, “The fermentation industry plays down the dangers of nematodes in your vinegar by not calling them parasitic, however, they must discard any batches that are infested with nematodes (https://www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/kombucha/kombucha-vinegar-eels/). Since we know the role that parasites have in the degradation of our bodies, why would nematodes be safe?”

So I traveled to the cited website, this is what is stated,

 

Notice the difference,:: “vinegar eels” are not parasites, it is only “raw (unpasteurized) vinegar” that is of concern, the “FDA says” not the “fermentation industry”, a natural part of vinegar making process, and only retail product must be discarded. The exact opposite of what Epperly implies.

Your own source doesn't agree with you!!

“Dangers of ethanol: Ethanol is dangerous because it is a highly flammable liquid that can be poisonous with skin contact or ingestion in its pure forms. https://www.reference.com/science/ethanol-dangerous-4e0f39b65856ddb3”

Might be why the very last line states, “It is also important to consume alcoholic beverages in a responsible manner.”

“Problems with Vinegar: Despite its popularity as a holistic cure, vinegar is a liquid consisting of about 5–20% acetic acid . The acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. (https://english.my-definitions.com/en/define/vinegar)”

And the problem is? Vinegar has been in use for at least 6000 yrs, and its use is mentioned in the Bible.

Epperly is again contradicting herself. You cannot consume salt, at the level she demands, while ignoring the concerns of over-consumption. But yet criticize the use of ethanol and vinegar, based in the same rationale. IOWs you reject what science tells us about salt consumption, but accept science in regards to ethanol and vinegar. It's as if you have a personal dislike of any product that could be seen as a competitor to the swill you peddle.

Oh look,,, three sections later Epperly again trashes other alt-med, “I tell people not to take any other detox programs or supplements, pills, powders and shakes with my protocol,,, Herbs/Spices used in trendy detoxes and diets this day and age are reactive measures that only work from an antibiotic standpoint. Bentonite Clay, Chemotherapy and Diatomaceous Earth are all known as antibiotics. Cannabis oil and all other essential oils are also antibiotic and anti-life. Articles circulating in books and on the internet and television,,,,”

Again on page 28, we have dangerously stupid health advice, and unsupported claims.

 

1] Epinephrineis not a steroid. With a chemical formula of C9H13NO3, it has the IUPAC nomenclature of 4-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-2 (methylamino)ethyl]benzene-1,2-diol. This gives it the identity of a catecholamine that refers to a side chain of amine present in the catechol structure. This categorises it to a non-steroidal compound. Epinephrine acts as a hormone as well as a neurotransmitter,,, It is a catecholamine that is derived from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. Apart from acting as a vasoconstrictor and relaxer for muscles, it also increases the blood sugar level by elevating the process of hydrolysis of glycogen into glucose in the liver and has a suppressive effect on the immune system. 

2] A “histamine reaction”, as you call it, is an allergic reaction you fucking dolt. Many allergic reactions are mild. They can be confined to a small area of the body, or they may affect the entire body. Anaphylaxis is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that occurs within minutes of exposure. If you have ever had an allergic rash over your entire body, while not life threatening, it is quite disconcerting.

 

3] “When a person has a histamine reaction during the protocol, we’re now at changing the context of that to a healing symptom, because the body is going to repair itself and purge out what doesn’t belong. This in essence will stop the histamine reactions in the future.”
Just fucking NO!! You are not changing the context, it is not a “healing symptom”. It's a fucking allergic reaction. While not as severe as anaphylaxis, you are putting the lives of those that follow your advice at risk!!

Epperly doesn't make any outright claims per se but there is much misinformation present in the chapter.  Up next, chapter 7, you to have the “potential” or “eventuality” of growing a new organ to replace your transplant or missing organ. “As far as rods, pins, and tooth implants bonded to the bone, eventually those pieces of metal will either find a way to exit the system once the bones heal or the tooth starts growing in at the root level.”

It gets worse,,, sigh!
