What's a Lady Doctor Know?

As it turns out, plenty.

Her name is Maria Montessori. She was a pioneering medical
doctor who studied child development.

(You've probably seen a 'Montessori' school near you, but
didn't know exactly what it was...kind of like I did up until
a few years ago, when my daughter started going.)

Dr. Montessori realized early on that children respond to
the environment (just like the cells they're made of).
She even gives a little nod to the caveman:

'Childhood constructs with what it finds. If the material is
poor, the construction is also poor. As far as civilization is
concerned, the child is at the level of the food-gatherers.

'The child is the forgotten citizen, and yet, if statesmen
and educationalists once came to realize the terrific
force that is in childhood for good or for evil, I feel they
would give it priority above everything else.

'All problems of humanity depend on Man himself; if Man
is disregarded in his construction, the problems will
never be solved.'


She reminds us that our screwed up grown-ups come
from screwed up kids. Just like our screwed up bodies
come from eating screwed up food.

If we pay more attention to the children, and help them learn
and grow naturally, according to their in-born patterns, then
according to Dr. Montessori, we'll have well-adjusted, fully
functioning citizens when they grow up.

If we pay more attention to their/our bodies, and feed them
according to their in-born patterns, then according to Dr. Vince
(and a boat load of scientific, historical, archeological, fossil,
anthropological, medical research), we'll have well-adjusted,
fully functioning bodies.

Your body constructs with what it finds. If the material is poor,
the construction is also poor.

And the thoughts are also poor.

I feel, like Dr. Montessori, that if you realized the terrific
force that's in your food choices for good or for evil, you
would give them priority above everything else.

terrific force that's Inside You... by taking the Dr. Vince

Live like You Mean it...

P.S. '...if Man is disregarded in his construction, the problems
will never be solved.'

That's why there's so much frustration and despair about the
epidemics of obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes
and cancer.

Because the modern medical approach is to treat the symptoms,
but ignore 'his construction'. If we don't respecting our biology
and return to our in-born eating patterns, our problems will
never be solved.
