The information contained in this blog has been drawn from The Great Cholesterol Myth. I highly recommend this book. It is down-to-earth and easy to read.
Defining “heart” – Biblically speaking, “heart” is both the pump for your blood and the center of your soul or immaterial being. Just as your physical heart gives life to your physical body, your spiritual heart gives life to your spiritual body.
I was 100% convinced that if I ate right, exercised, and didn’t drink or smoke, I had zero chance of ever having a heart attack. And yet I had one. How could I have made such a cataclysmic mistake? As a teacher of truth I was upset, angry and aghast that I held such a mistruth or half-truth. When I experienced chest pains, my wife had the presence of mind to give me a dropperful of Dr. Schulze’s “Cayenne” in some water, so my pains subsided and I walked into the urgent care facility 10 minutes later.
Well, I have received a lot of response to the three-part series I wrote on the ketogenic diet, so let me try to answer a number of questions that were posed to me.
Question 1: I read, "Here are the many scientific studies that support the ketogenic diet" and "My body tells me it works". But what does the Scripture and your spirit and your journaling say about it? Maybe a part 4 blog to address the spiritual/scriptural aspect would be very helpful. AND...

Patti and I recently tried the ketogenic diet because our staff was on it and losing weight, and having pains in their body disappear. Once we got on it food cravings disappeared which, to me is the biggest benefit of this diet. Also, by doing all the steps listed below, we have been able to lose 1 pound per week for the last 14 weeks (lots of careful eating and fasting to accomplish this). This diet causes a release of ketones in your body. Fasting also causes a release of ketones. Thus the ketogenic diet releases health benefits similar to fasting, and is even called a fasting-mimicking diet.
“Grandpa, you’re not old at all!” What precious words to hear from my grandson’s lips, now that I’m 66! Golden years filled with vibrant health is a cherished gift from God and it IS possible! I don’t need to become an American statistic which says I have two years of healthy living ahead of me, then ten years of health problem and death at 78. The steps below help ensure long life with health and blessing.
