InscribeExcerpt from“Whole Don’t Mean Wholesome – Lost & Found: Our Links with Traditional Foods, Methods & Medicines”by Clive Lawler“Eliminating countless foods from our diets is not a cure! It’s a bore. It is a confusing folly ofcomplexity and difficulty, fuelling the victim mode, which ultimately supplies no answers, encouragingonly suspicion, and then denial, of access to nature’s broad bounty. We can eat virtually every foodwith gusto!When we do them right. That’s my job here.Allergenic reactions come, clearly, as a body-wise rebuttal to the improper, new-fangled, high-speed,convenient, toxin-retaining, modern approach to food, which fails to both recognize and hence dealwith biological intruders, nor understands traditional food methods that enhance pre-digestion.Gluten and lactose intolerances are brand new, post-1950’s diseases, raging unbridled since theignorant, economy-driven quickening of wheat and other grain food processes, along with thepasteurization, the bastardisation, of milk and many other basic foods.The raw materials of all grown foods, preferably organic of course, are no problem.The core of this story is about how this modern diverse allergenic anomaly has come about, and howto very simply deal with it - in our kitchens.That’s my job here.Given just a tad more t-i-m-e, add careful sloooow tending, as we reinvent traditional culinarypractices that stimulate the innate enzyme activity in all foods, adolescent glutens and other splendidcomplex nutrients transform, breaking down to become easily digestible, alkalising, allergen-freeand maximally nutritious, whilst unwanted, toxic, naturally-occurring anti-nutrients are substantially,satisfactorily neutralized.When food preparation is rushed, as is the case with 99% of all modern food since the 1950’s, andin particular with breads and protein-rich dried bean/pulse/nut/seed foods, those same unconvertednutrients, uncut anti-nutrients, plus the resultant acidity dog and ail the human body, and, for hugeswathes of people, seriously.Access to live enzymes that facilitate pre-digestion and alkalinity, is essential for body harmony. Butthis has become unconventional, inconvenient, in a pasteurized, germ-paranoid world where bacteriaand their compadres, the family of enzymes, are treated as outlaws, as the enemy – thereby sprayed,heated, chlorinated or nuked to death.Since the 1950’s, we have lost the thread connecting us to an ancient culinary tradition that is essentialin disabling the toxic anti-nutrients in food, and in rendering proteins, carbohydrates, malts, etc. notonly harmless, but also, as intended – marvelous, friendly, wholesome allies.The missing traditional kitchen processes focus upon simple yet profoundly beneficial activation andfermentation procedures; the missing ancient tempo is sloooow; and its lost habitat - the timeless,accommodating, nurturing kitchen.”for your literary pleasure • • • •RARE INFORMATION in books you won’t find in a normal bookshop, but in ane-bookstore, absolutely!1) “Whole Don’t Mean Wholesome - Lost & Found:Our Links with Traditional Foods, Methods & Medicines”2) “All’s Fair in Life on Earth”both published thru Amazon Kindle e-books at: www.amazon.com/kindleSimply type in the book title at top of Kindle’s opening page and download FREEe-book READER there...also printed copies may be ordered individually by contacting the author.C l i v e L a w l e r f r o m M u l l u m b i m b y N S W A u s t r a l i a 0 4 2 1 3 3 4 9 2 8klobandco@gmail.cominjoy 28
