Neural-Degeneration and Fruit Fueled Evolution

[Hagbard Celine]

howdy

(R)-awesome site! I’m relatively new here but I hope to be more active in the upcoming months. I’ve gone fully raw pretty recently but had been transitioning from my Standard American Diet (SAD) filled with steak and chips ect to a more natural and healthy one for years now..and so far I feel phenomenal! The book is Left In The Dark, by Tony Wright and Graham Gynn

Here is a free online .pdf he recently put on his website. Just scroll down far enough, its there. If you like what you see try and contribute to the research if you can: http://leftinthedark.org.uk/book There is reviews by many scientists and others on this page as well

Here is a nice summary of the general theory and additional info: http://beyond-belief.org.uk/node/8 http://beyond-belief.org.uk/node/25 http://www.indiegogo.com/Make-up-your-own-mind

Some things to keep in mind when reading the summary:

Symbiosis proliferates on many many levels of nature.. Terence McKenna once said that "plants evolved animals so they could move their seeds around.." This is literally one of the reasons why fruit (which is literally a womb for the seeds) is how it is: to attract animals to eat it so that they disperse its seeds around the forest floor. This helps ensure the plants survival. This win win situation is largely why the chemicals in food like fruit are so good for us (as we are continually finding now adays), and why they make us feel great to. Just consider this scenario for a moment..

We all know that we originated in Africa where our hairy, big brained, fruit eating cousins still hang..and that throughout a span of tens of millions of years we began incorporating higher amounts of fruit into our diet. We also know food affects brain size ( http://kowb1290.com/diet-affect-brain-size/ ) and that fruit is one of the most, if not the most complex and and nutritious foods on the entire planet. This companionship with fruit was extremely unique in that the food itself is a developmental environment for the seeds, meaning its like a womb wherein the thousands of present chemicals are influencing what is developing. This was then incorporated into our own developmental environments and had extremely unique affects, which are punctuated by our uniqueness compared to most other mammals.

Among the many different molecules in fruit, the thousands of flavonoids in there are transcription modifiers, meaning they are involved in chemically reading the DNA and changing how it is expressed..In other words, they alter how literally everything from cells to organs to brains are built- since this is all mediated through transcription.

Thousands upon thousands of these fruit chemicals flooded the womb the entire time the DNA was building the child because the mother was eating this cocktail of fruit bio-chemistry..and the blood of the mother literally is the blood of the fetus. This extended until after birth via breastfeeding where the same DNA reading chemicals would also be present.. And then on into life as the child began to eat by itself and acquire them directly. ( and yes mothers diet can affect child long into life http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0616151748.htm ) These transcription chemicals, like flavonoids for example, are not only endocrine modulators, but also MAOI, anti-oxidants, and inhibitors of aromatase- meaning they inhibit testosterone which also has a monumental affect on what develops.Not only that, but its also proven that they stimulate pineal gland and brain activity.. Which creates a circular loop since this results in more transcription modifying chemicals being produced by the pineal (which are very unique and do many things), and hence more brain activity, and on and on it goes amplifying over generations in a positive feedback loop.

We also know our brains mysteriously exploded in both its size and complexity faster than any other organ in any animal in the ENTIRE ARCHEOLOGICAL RECORD..and that now they have suddenly stalled and are shrinking. http://discovermagazine.com/2010/sep...t-why-brain-sh...

Its no coincidence the most complex tissue in the known universe evolved during a symbiosis with the most complex orchestra of food we have ever seen flooding it for millions upon millions of years. The forest was like our womb, these chemicals were housed in the fruit itself which literally is a womb with its own array of chemicals which became virtually one with our own system 24/6 for evolutionary time scales.. We literally fused into this system for millenia. How could suddenly removing virtually ALL of the thousands of chemicals that were actively involved in reading the DNA and thus drastically altering how our entire organism is built NOT make an absolutely humungus difference?

If NASA was to dramatically change how they read or interpreted ( aka transcription) the blueprint(DNA) of a space shuttle, and then went about building it that way, would any sane person seriously think it would function as it did before? Say, if they used plastic or wood instead and goldschlager vodka as fuel? The human brain is light years beyond any technology we have created in its sheer complexity and sensitivity to even minute changes in its chemical make up (as any person who's taken mere micrograms of lsd, a few puffs of marijuana, or a few stiff drinks knows!)..and this is on a scale of millions upon millions of years and bam..suddenly our DNA looses basically all these transcription chemicals and its read totally different. Meaning the structure it produces would be extremely different as a consequence.

There is a ton of evidence for this. Even most mainstream myths, religions, ect. talk of this exact scenario, albeit in poetic right-brained lingo. A past golden age. The fall of mankind. The garden of eden. Basically our naked, harmonious, forest dwelling, fruit eating, paradisaical past.


Most relatively aware people all intuitively know our society is insane, at least on some level. But science has recently stumbled upon a mountain of information that supports this being an actual neurological condition, although it focuses on tiny details and never realizes how all these fit together into a broader context..Just realizing our brains stopped they're mysteriously fast expansion, are now possibly shrinking, that diet affects brain size, and our diet is now totally different should be enough to make us ask some questions and set some alarm bells off. But ironically it almost never is, which is almost a sign of how numb we have become.

Katherine Milton has found that our diets generally now contain only 5% of what they used to when we lived in Africa..This has huge implications in light of what we now know about our symbiosis and previous diets and its probably even less for most people these days stuck on processed garbage. That means we lost 95% + of the thousands upon thousands of transcription modifying chemicals, and for many they've lost basically all of it and replaced it with harmful substitutes..some of which seem to even cause the opposite of brain expansion- brain damage http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/1...n_1173487.html

We also need to realize there is many many more things we would have been getting on this diet that we've now lost. Our primate relatives still get roughly 3 to 4 thousand milligrams of vitamin C, a very important antioxidant concentrated around the brain. The daily recommendation in the U.S. these days is 53 milligrams..and we probably used to get at least 3-4 thousand mg while evolving. There is also a massive amounts of evidence showing we are fruigivores http://www.scribd.com/doc/17111888/S...s-Are-Frugivor

There are also many hints of higher functioning. Many altered states hint at this..Then things like speed reading - there is people who can read paragraphs or pages in mere seconds and retain 100% of it, or both pages of an open book at once-, photographic memory, meditation states, various 'savant' abilities, near perfect memory ect. ect. Here is just a few glimpses of some of these abilities.. http://wastedatwork.com/beer/b1tKA.jpg there is tons of neurological data presented in the book.


Just look around around with this idea in mind..pollution, deforestation, slavery (yes, even today in 2012), genocide, overpopulation, starvation while others buy yachts..look at this society where a state of anxiety and fear is the norm, where each country spends thousands of man hours and dollars designing and manufacturing countless devices made to kill other people. Where our genius is focused on creating these devices designed to slaughter our own species and destroy the earth. Many hardly register the beauty and mystery of our existence anymore http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=702kVrhOvL4#!

Our culture is largely a reflection, or expression, of our collective psychology. And we all sense something is wrong with our society...that is why this movement has started. Some people don't even have any idea of what is wrong with our system, but they sense it on visceral level. Its because the fundamental problem is literally within us


"At the period and place, whenever and wherever it was, when man first lost his hairy covering, he probably inhabited a hot country; a circumstance favourable for the frugiferous diet on which, judging from analogy, he subsisted." Charles Darwin

"problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them" Albert Einstein


Just look at the data in the book and decide for yourself..
peace

**(UPDATE: help support (and basically pre-buy since there is perks like kickstarter) two new books in the works on the guys project page here http://www.indiegogo.com/Make-up-your-own-mind This info has to reach more people, so spread the word please)

[fastfreedom]

WOW. I like you. ;-) It sounds like you and I are on the same level.

I'm not as eloquent with words, but the body definitely has a higher vibration when it's fueled with the food it has been designed to run on. Once the vibration has been raised, then a whole new world opens up and the only limiting factors become our own beliefs.

I've heard of that book before but not read it yet. It sounds interesting. I suppose it's time I get it.

[Hagbard Celine]

Yeah i definitely noticed a big difference in my body energy once i switched around my diet

I'm surprised almost no one here is interested in this idea. It seems that the info in support of such a theory is pretty extensive, and i mean the proof is in the pudding- Just reading the reports on this site of people turning their lives completely around and becoming filled with love and joy is very telling in itself of what diet we run most efficiently on :]

[fastfreedom]

-There are hints of higher functioning. Like speed reading, photographic memory, high meditation states, 'savant' abilities, ectect. The book goes into all of this

I'm definitely getting the book. These types of things have always been an interest of mine. But now that my body is becoming cleaner everyday I really notice the differences in my mind. I think maybe it's time to start practicing telekinesis again. ;-)

I can see and feel with my minds eye the vibration the world will be in once everyone adopts the proper nutrition for their bodies. It's an experience where words fall short.

I see people practicing consciousness and constantly trying to force themselves to think pure and be happy. But then they turn around and eat garbage, they really are oblivious to what's going on. If only they would fuel their bodies properly, "and of course clean out the garbage", they wouldn't need to practice harmony. It is a natural way of being when we consume those high vibrating plants that are here for us.

I've heard a quote of David Wolfe's that I agree with so much. "You are what you think, is not as powerful as you are what you eat."

When we eat high vibrating foods and vibrate in harmony then we can effortlessly become what we think.

[Hagbard Celine]

That's a great line :] We really are what we eat.. The beauty is that it seems we were in a sort of symbiosis with the jungle itself..dispersing the seeds.

I really need to read Wolfe's books. I've been listening to his talks for a while now though, very interesting stuff. Now that i think about it, he actually left a short review of the book on Tony's website: "I have been following Tony Wright's research for over a decade. I believe he has uncovered the primary mechanisms of humanity's dangerous levels of left-brained dominance and how to correct our hemispheric imbalances in order to create a sane and healthy future for us all. His book 'Left In The Dark' is highly recommended."

[fastfreedom]

It was in one of the youtube videos of David Wolfe that I heard him mention, "Left In The Dark". I really don't know why some other book took precedence over this one in my last book buying spree from amazon. I think I'm gonna order it tonight or tomorrow as soon as I think of a few other books I was wanting.

You mentioning that we seemed to be in symbiosis with the jungle dispersing seeds brings a great smile to me. I was thinking of this just today as I was driving back from the market. And it reminded me of how I made a comment to my grandma 6 months ago about the type of world we would live in if we planted every seed from the food we ate instead of throwing them away. So then I decided to update my signature earlier today so that it says...................................

[Hagbard Celine]

Yea its impossible to imagine the way we all experienced the world together back in the African jungles before we got separated from this environment, this symbiosis, flooding our blood and brains with the most complex orchestration of chemicals in the universe, for millions of years...all fine tuning the most complex organ we've ever seen

The situation now is almost an insane prison in comparison, since our cultures reflect our collective inner insanity.. but since the right is still way way more functional than the left we can make some drastic changes in our perception extremely quickly by combining this diet with certain techniques to access it (which have been employed by various traditions for millenia). So there is still a ton of reason to hope. And if this is finally looked at by the mainstream then we could make some huge changes very quickly if we put even a minute amount of our collective resources into restoration. And if/when that happens, things will turn around very quickly, for the better

[Hagbard Celine]

So has anyone read this or have any thoughts on it?

[fastfreedom]

Do you mean besides me? LOL

My book should be here on Thursday. I also ordered a book called, "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?: Interdimensional Communication and Global Transformation", which looks pretty good.

I'm a little surprised that no one else has been commenting in here about the book and links you've mentioned. But only a little. ;-)

[DebB]

Your posts are a bit over my head :) But I'm a fruit eater. I'm not eating 100% fruit, but getting closer all the time. I eat fruit until dinner, then I'm done with fruit for the day. Ofcourse, not the best time of year here for fruit. I'm so looking forward to this summer.

[Revvell]

Is there a Cliff's Notes version?

[MysticTree]

too much text. Give us the gist of what you are trying to say and then add in the flowery stuff after. There's only so many times I can read the word "womb" without switching off.

[Hagbard Celine]

Here's some links that should be of interest which explain it much better:

http://leftinthedark.org.uk/


The idea is basically a modern re-telling of all the myths of a past golden age (like garden of eden) and the 'fall of mankind', only its not a religious theory by any means but goes into all sorts of scientific data that shows fruit actually fueled our brains rapid expansion in size and complexity.. And that when we lost the extremely complex fruit chemistry (which is shown to change how DNA builds the brain/endocrine system) we actually began to loose the higher functioning that we once had. It cites tons of evidence for this and the book is pretty easy to understand and utterly mind blowing. Here's a free version:

sorry i overdid it and tried to explain to much i guess

[DawnD]

Thanks for the post. I have been away from RFT for a couple months and have been following FB (to catch up with family and the new grandbaby). I am starving for good information like this that reinforces why I strive to be raw in an unraw world. I will research more about the books and links as time permits.

It would be wonderful if the general population could experience the bliss and harmony that one has with raw food diet. I don't live in a constant state of bliss but those glimpses of total happiness and peacefulness are truly gems.

[Hagbard Celine]

Yeah that's partly why talking about this information to people stuck in the standard american type diet/mind-frame can be a bit frustrating at times. If many of them got even a glimpse at the healthier, more holistic and in tune states of being possible they would instantly understand where I'm coming from..and why you really are what you eat
