Brain Power Versus Computer by Lena Sanchez

Your brain uses almost 20% of all the oxygen you take into

your lungs. Your blood carries the oxygen to your brain.

This is why clogged arteries cause memory loss and

organizational skills impairment. Today's society is a fast

food society and fast foods are basically void of nutrients

and full of artery clogging fats.

You hear a great deal these days about information processing -

usually has "new age technology" tacked onto the end of it

usually referring to the revolution that has occurred using

computers to communicate. Communication is a very important

part of life, whether it be a husband to wife or parent to child,

company to employees, clients to customers it still remains the

most important thing we need to do. The computer does not hold

that power only as a tool for long distance communication. The

real true communicator is - The "Brain" and it's power may still

be compared to computers as we know them but the brain is a

much older and definitely more powerful form of information

processing and communication. Our brain is of the utmost

importance in our lives and without it working up to par you

are a either a vegetable or retarded.

When growing up (in the olden day as my children and

grandchildren call it), there was no such thing as a computer,

calculator, TV etc.. We communicated by talking to each other,

writing, playing games and visiting others while really

communicating and socializing. Learning about each other.

Even though we may still compare our brain to our

computer there is a vast difference in what we actually

process in our brain and in our computer but not so

different really. Because the nutrition put into our brain

is equivalent to the electrical current put into our

computers that makes them work. Without the electrical

current being completed the computer won't work…

Without proper nutrients to the brain it won't function

well either.

Lets compare the two -computer versus brain - by saying

if you don't have an electrical outlet to plug your computer

into or a battery pack to provide the electrical current there

will be no information data input or output from the computer.

By the same token, our brain needs electrical power not

from an electrical plug-in but from nutrition. The saying goes

for computers, "garbage in, garbage out." Our brain is

the same way, "garbage in, garbage out." What are you

feeding your brain?

Your brain uses 50% of your energy and only occupies a

small portion of your total body volume, yet is the most

important organ in your body. If you are tired frequently,

it could very well be that you are not feeding your brain

properly. Are you forgetting things that shouldn't be

forgotten? Could be a malnourished brain. Your

brain and body requires complete minerals and trace minerals to

function on all cylinders. Are you putting them all in or are

you putting in the three nutrients that are in our fruits, grains

and vegetables gleaned from their fertilizers? Or are you

putting in all the chemicals and hormones fed our animals

to fatten them and make them worth more dollars? It now

takes more than our foodstuff to give our brain the

nourishment required to function properly.

After World War II the farmers were told that the new

fertilizers would produce better and more crops than

the natural (manure) fertilizers they had used prior to that.

Exactly what happened?

Gradually the natural (manure) went by the way side taking

with it the nutrients that they put into the ground and had

been supplying us with a complete nutrient base.

Chemical manmade fertilizers have all of three nutrients,

nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. What happened to

the other 91, which our bodies need?

This also set up a chain reaction with our food animals

as well. The feed they are fed now has only those three

nutrients absorbed from the fertilizers along with the

chemicals and hormones, which are added to fatten

them, therefore prevent the natural (manure) fertilizers

from containing the nutrients of old! Setting up a viscous

cycle! There are some nutrients added to the animal feed,

usually 7 to 23, but not the complete 94 as required by

our bodies to be healthy. The following was taken directly

from Website Southwest Livestock Mineral Company

.

"We blend for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep,

goats (Boer, Milk, and angora) and swine.

Our custom minerals for domestic consumers

carry a consumption guarantee. We have

FDA clearances for many medications

including Bovatec®, Rumensin®, Rumatel®,

Mecadox®, Banmith®, Deccox®, and

several antibiotics."

Tests with animals have shown that by withholding certain

nutrients from their diets they forget tricks that they had

learned and usually could perform with no problem. In

both animals and humans, aging compounds the

problem of memory loss and retention - doesn't have to -

later on I will show you why. In the early 1950's large

numbers of animals - cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens and

turkeys - began getting diseases never before seen in

animals, such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc.

In most cases veterinary scientist traced the cause to

specific nutritional deficiencies. Today all feed for

animals have added nutrients to eliminate a large portion

of those illnesses and diseases along with some not so

good added chemicals in their foodstuff as you can see

above.

Today the chemicals used on the farms and fed to the

cattle and sheep in the form of nutrients are taking its

toll on our bodies and minds. For what affects our minds

also effects our bodies!

Here is an excerpt from the United States Government

in 1936 - Verbatim from the Farm Land Depletion

Senate Document #264 of 1936; "Our physical well-being

is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our

systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise

proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we

consume…."

It goes on to say, "Do you know that most of us today

are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies

which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from
