Totally! Looking into these things could be soooo beneficial! For example, maybe an abundance of toxin A builds up in the region of the brain responsible for mood regulation (i.e.- anger) so the people who ingest toxin A are more prone to criminality. So instead of dosing them with meds or labeling them with a mental illness, they could just stop ingesting foods containing that toxin. Eventually their brains would re-regulate. ^ yea? ❤

I am shocked. Thanks a lot for this TED. It was very exciting.

very powerful presentation skills and great content, well done

I discovered this idea 3 years ago through the GAPS diet. I still follow most of its principles but have switched to more vegetables than meat. It has helped my autoimmune disease, eradicated all seasonal allergies and helped temper my mood swings without a single medication. I am so glad this is being discussed in the mainstream now. It really does not take long to make fermented vegetables, sourdough bread, meals from scratch if you plan ahead. Couple that with rarely eating out and altering your skin and beauty products, you will be on the road to health. Food IS medicine. One caveat: this is an expensive way to live but would you rather pay as you go and enjoy the benefits or pay the medical field to experiment on you and languish in a hospital?-- to put it crudely.

Directly related to the food we eat and how that food is grown. Period.❤

Our mind is just a pattern storage and recognition organ. It compares input patterns (sensory perception) to stored patterns (memory) and calculates likely outcome patterns (thought). This is the you that you think you are. The gut feeling (emotion) is just an older internal operating system closer to the one used by your organs. Think of your organs as separate organisms, they like and dislike things just like you. They actually have authoritative control (emotional irrational behaviour, fight or flight) Your mind was developed to protect and provide for the body of organisms (organs and their inhabitants) you are their interface with the outside world. you are their ruler but they can be unruly if you mistreat them.
