Indeed.
So we got brother Val from theNation of Islam in the building
this evening.
Oh, uh, oh, your wife is oh,your wife is watching.

SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
My number one supporter, cheerleader.

SPEAKER_00 (01:16):
Um, so I want to go right into it.
So you're from where I alwaystake people down, like uh, you
know, the history, so so peopleget to know them.
So, where are you from exactly?

SPEAKER_02 (01:27):
I'm from 112th Street, um, between Lennox and
Fifth Avenue, New York City,Harlem, USA, two blocks away
from um Central Park.
I was born and raised there.
I was born in 1966.
Um, we moved there, I think,when I was about six years old.

(01:48):
My grandmother, who is thematriarch over the family, she
raised me and my sisters.
So, like I told I was tellingyou before, it was originally
Stephen Forster Projects.
And then it was um renamedMartin Luther King Towers
because after the assassinationof Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
in the early 70s, I believe theychanged the name.

(02:10):
So that's where I'm from.
Um, and matter of fact, I wasfrom building 41, 41, 112
street, and the father, Clarence13x, the father was from
building 21 in the same complex,in the same projects.
At this time, when I was ayoung, I didn't know.
I didn't know the father, Ididn't know about the 5% nation.

(02:31):
I'm just six, seven years oldrunning around having fun.
But later on, I learned that thefather was from 21, which is
right across the parking lotparking lot for me.
I would say anywhere from 20yards because you have a parking
lot, then you have two buildingson the side, and the the the
doors, the the entrance of thedoor of the buildings, the doors
are facing each other.

(02:51):
It's just a parking lot inbetween them, and that's where
the father was living at at thetime, but but but unbeknownst to
me because I was a young man andI didn't know anything about all
that.

SPEAKER_00 (03:01):
Right, right, right.
Oh man, there's so much toimpact on just on the so so you
grew up there, and what was thesocial climate at that time?
I mean, I mean, that was that'sthe 60s, right?
60s, 70s.
So, I mean, it's a lot of uhpolice brutality, you know, uh a
law, you know, pretty muchstopped the riots at that time

(03:22):
with the youth and things likethat.
The nation of Islam was uhespecially in Harlem, was was
thriving, big.
Five percenters.
Who else do we have out there?
We had the Ansaw law community,were they around too?

SPEAKER_02 (03:33):
Yeah.
I'm not I'm not uh too familiarbecause I was young.
All I know is every time I wentoutside, it was tons to me.
It seemed like hundreds ofthousands of people always,
because the project was alwayspacked, people were always, and
we was right next to, and I wasright in two blocks away from
the moss, really, because themoss was 116th Street right at
this time.

(03:54):
I'm on 112th Street, but theproject covers from 112th to
115th.
You got 10 buildings inside theuh inside of uh King Towers, so
it goes from 5th to LennoxAvenue from 11th to 115th.
So as soon as you walk, you justcutting through because as a
kid, I'm cutting through.
You don't walk from corner tocorner, you cut through the

(04:14):
project.
Soon as I get to 115th Street,116th is right there.
That's the moss, you know, whereMalcolm taught as well as
Minister Farrakhan taughtMuhammad's mass number seven.
But at this time, I don't knowthat.
Like I said, I believe Malcolmwas assassinated in was it 64?
Was it 64?
I don't remember okay.

(04:35):
But at this time, I think I wasI was I wasn't born um when
Malcolm was assassinated whenMalcolm was on scene.
And the reason why I know thatis because my mother, she was
gonna name me after Malcolm X,and this is what she told me
later on.
And I said, Yeah, why didn'tyou?
After I got to know you know whohe was and read about him and so
forth and so on.
I said, Well, why didn't you?

(04:55):
Why didn't you?
And she said, I didn't because Ifound out your father um was
having another baby with anotherwoman, so she said, Because of
that, I didn't want that baby toget the get your father's name,
so I named you after yourfather.
So that's why I got my name,which is Valdy.
Because originally my mother, mymother was gonna name me after

(05:17):
um Malcolm X, but she shedecided to change that because
once she found out that myfather was having another baby
with another woman, she said,No, I can't have that.
So that's when she gave me myfather's name, which is Valdry.

SPEAKER_00 (05:30):
Nice, nice.
So now, so all that was goingon, how did you grow up?
I mean, what did you see?

SPEAKER_02 (05:37):
Well, when I grew up, all I saw was, I mean, it
was just so much so much energy.
All I knew that it was a lot ofenergy, but I was in the church.
I was raised by my grandmother,not my mother.
My mother wasn't my primarycaregiver, my grandmother was,
and she had us in the churchevery Sunday, every every Sunday
from I mean, when I canremember, we did pieces on

(05:57):
Sunday, on Christmas.
We sung in the in the choir, wedid the whole thing.
My grandma said, Come on, y'allgonna go to church up until when
I was about 14 or 15 years old.
And then I start saying, Listen,grandma, I don't want I don't
want to go to church.
Now I'm sleeping later thanlate, so therefore I don't have
to go to church.
But the social climate was umjust a lot of black positivity,

(06:19):
a lot of black energy.
But I'm seeing this and feelingthis, but I can't verbally
express it.
You know what I mean?
You know how you see something,you're a part of something, you
in the mix of it, but you can'tverbally articulate what you're
seeing and what you're feeling,but you know you can feel the
energy of it.
Right, it wasn't till later thanwhen I began to uh grow older in
my teenage years when I've beenI began to understand a little

(06:41):
bit more, and then on my ownresearch and study, I said,
Well, let me look, let me reallylook into this.
And then I realized, wow, I wasbasically um birthed right in
the middle of a lot of that, andI had no idea at the time, other
than I do remember this.
This is what I remember when Iwas a little boy.
I remember the brothers from thetemple coming over selling fish

(07:02):
because my grandmother wassaying, Open the door, and I was
open door, and the brothers cameon, they had suits, and they I
think they had like um coolcoolers, like you would carry
cooler, like cold drinks in, butit was it was packed in fish,
and then it was selling fishwithin the projects, and my
grandmother used to always buyfish from them.
So he said, Come on, thebrother's gonna come up with the
fish.
I says, Okay, so I would go tothe door, and my grandmother

(07:23):
tell me what she wanted, andthen I would take the fish and
put it in our freezer, and mygrandmother would pay them.
So I do remember thatexperience, but a lot of it I
was oblivious to, I was just init, but I wasn't aware of it.

SPEAKER_00 (07:35):
Gotcha, gotcha.
So now, um, to take it into uhhow to eat the live.
Okay, um, well, first off,before we go to how to eat the
live, how did you how were youum introduced to the nation of
Islam?
And what was your experiencegoing into the nation of Islam
and what which uh mosque ortemple?

SPEAKER_02 (07:58):
Okay, well, I first got introduced because of just
be becoming more aware.
I started reading more books andI started learning more about
black consciousness, and I readMalcolm X autobiography, and I
read um a few other books, andthen um someone gave me a tape

(08:19):
by um Minister Farrakhan, and umI listened to that tape, and
basically I was addicted to towhat he was saying.
I couldn't believe what he wassaying.
I'm like, Are you kidding me?
Is this guy for real?
I mean, because it was just myfirst exposure, it was
mind-blowing to me.
And I just I said, Well, wheredo you get the tapes from?
He told me.
So I said I started going to buythe tapes.

(08:41):
I used to go by the tapes and goby the lectures, and every time
I listened to something, Ilearned something.
But what it did for me, it gotme out of the mindset of
Christianity because I neverheard a religious teaching other
than Christianity because mygrandmother, I grew up in the
church, so that's all I knew.
I didn't know about anythingelse until I heard one of those

(09:04):
tapes.
And then I'm it it was like Ineeded to hear more, like I
really wanted to understandthis.
Like, what is he really saying?
And then it started making senseto me.
He started breaking it downwhere wow, I never looked at
Christianity the way hedescribed it in some of some of

(09:24):
his lectures.
Um, but then when he describedit and um I began to understand
it, I was like, oh, he's 100%right.
Like this is I can understandthis.
Um, and then I just began to buymore tapes and more tapes and
more tapes.
And then eventually um I went tothe MAS um on 127th Street, um,

(09:46):
and I went into the nation forfor a good while, for a few
years.
Um, and um that's where I wasat.
And once I once I did that, andonce I accepted that, I never
went back to Christianity.
Um, most of my family isChristians, but we have a loving
relationship.
They understand me, I understandthem.
Um, but Christianity never hadthe hold on me that it had at

(10:08):
that time after that, because itwas just uh our opening message,
and um, you know, so he that wasmy birth into the black
consciousness and into Islam,listening to a fake take by Mr.
Farrakhan.
What year was that?
Do you remember?
Oh man, that had to be back inthe 80s.

(10:29):
I would say it was in the early80s.
Reason why I know that isbecause I I could remember when
he went to Madison Square Gardenin 1985, Power Last Forever,
when Mayor Koch was the mayor ofNew York City.
And um, I think it was like twoyears before I started listening
to tape, and then when I heardthat tape, that was like it to
me, it was just it sent chillsthrough my body, the stuff that

(10:52):
he was saying and how he wastalking.
And I mean, you know, unafraid,unapologetic, I mean, just 100%
black.
I mean, I was like, wow, thisguy's this guy's amazing.
Um, so that I know it was before85, so it maybe have to be 83 or
80, 82, somewhere around thattime.

SPEAKER_00 (11:11):
Gotcha.
Now, so you went into the nationof Islam.
Yeah.
You became a part of the FOI.
Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (11:19):
Well, what you do is once you go in, there's a whole
process.
You you go through an actualprocess, and uh, you know, I
don't want to, you know, sayeverything, but you go through a
whole process, and then youbasically um you write your
letter, and then after you writeyour letter, then you get your
student enrollment and your andyour um actual facts and so
forth and so on, and then youhave to basically say that, say,

(11:41):
say that say what you learn andstudy to the brothers, and then
you become um basically uhconvert to the to the religion
of Islam and you become part ofthe FOI, which is a never-ending
journey.
It's not like you become andthen that's it.
It's a it's a it's a it's it's acontinual process of working on

(12:01):
yourself, cleaning yourself up,coming into a different mindset,
becoming a new person by yourwords, actions, and deeds.
It's just that's just aprocessing part, but then the
work has to be done after theprocessing.

SPEAKER_00 (12:15):
Okay, so I don't want to maybe we don't want to
go too deep into that becauseyou know people would have to
experience that for themselves.

SPEAKER_01 (12:21):
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (12:22):
So now you get into the you go into the FOI, you
become a Muslim, um, and thenyou know you're this from the
you're a Muslim from the 80s upuntil now.
That's what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02 (12:37):
Yes, yes, yes.
Wow but when you first when youfirst come, well for me, I can't
speak for you.
When you first come in, youlearn, you understand, but my
dietary law wasn't um what thewhat the nation of Islam um
basically has for a dietary law.
I was basically I stopped eatingpork on my thing.
I was about 20 years old.
I started, and the only reason Istopped eating pork, I'm being

(12:58):
honest with you, becausebrothers, the brothers I used to
hey, you shouldn't eat pork, youshould, because my grandmother,
she was from the south, and shebasically fed us what she what
she could afford to feed us, andwe ate what we ate.
So I did eat um ham a lot.
I never remember eating, youknow, like the the worst part of
the pig.
I I never remember eating everythat, but I do remember eating a
ham sandwich at the time, youknow what I mean when I was

(13:18):
younger.
But then later on, around 20 or19 or 20, the brothers I used to
hang out with and play sportswith, they were like, yo, you
shouldn't eat that, youshouldn't eat that.
I'm like, why, why, why?
So they started telling me aboutthe trick now worm and so forth
and so on.
And then I says, okay, but mything was I always like to go do
the research.
So then I went and got a book,and then I started reading up
more on it, and then I stoppedeating, um, I stopped eating

(13:42):
pork.
And then um later on I stoppedeating red meat.
I think '95, I stopped eatingred meat.
And then one year, MinisterFarrakhan had asked the nation
to do um Ramadan vegetarian.
Forget what year it was, but heasked the nation to do um
Ramadan in vegetarian style,basically, no meat.

(14:04):
And um that's what I did.
And then when I did it, I justdidn't go back.
I said, I just did this for 30days.
Why would I go back to meat now?
You know, so and this been hadto be at least, I think we're
going on 15 years now that Ihaven't had any meat.
Um, so basically fruits andvegetables.
But then later on, going backinto the books of the most

(14:26):
honorable Elijah Muhammad, Howto Eat the Live, book one and
book two, he goes into how meat,um we're not designed by nature
to eat meat.
And the best, the best diet foryou is fruits and vegetables, a
vegetarian diet.
He goes into that when youreally go in and you extract the
information you see, you know.
In one point, he says in thebook, we should begin to um

(14:50):
gradually wean ourselves off ofthe meat and the chicken and so
forth and so on.

SPEAKER_00 (14:56):
So um I have a I have a question for you on that.
So uh my issue with not eatingmeat is where are you getting
your amino acids from?

SPEAKER_02 (15:05):
Okay, um, and um I'm glad you asked that question.
And the reason why I'm glad youasked that question is because
everyone thinks that you getprotein from meat.
When you eat meat, okay, you'regetting animal protein.
Animal protein.
And I say that because um theanimals you eat don't eat meat.

unknown (15:27):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (15:28):
So when I say the animals you eat don't meat eat
when you got the cow, when yougot the chicken, when you got
the turkey, none of theseanimals eat meat.
So if they don't eat meat andthey're and they're being and
they have protein, where arethey getting their protein from?
They're getting their proteinfrom plants.
Plants make protein, not meat.
What animals do is they recyclethe protein that they eat from

(15:49):
the grass, from the grain thatthey eat, and then it becomes
part of them.
So what you're doing is when youeat meat, you're you're you're
eating recycled protein.
Okay, because um nitrogen,nitrogen is um the nucleus to
protein.
Okay, that is the that is theessential ingredients that you

(16:09):
need.
Nitrogen, once it hits theearth, along with the
sodophotosynthesis.
I don't want to get too tooconfusing.
Photosynthesis from the sun, itgoes into the earth, it goes
into the soil, it begins to makeprotein.
That's how protein is madethrough plants.
That's why plants have proteinin them.
And plant protein is a betterassimilator into the bloodstream

(16:32):
and into the body as opposed tomeat, because meat makes your
stomach work too hard to breakdown the meat, because we
remember we are the life forceof our body, so the meat that
you eat is not going, is may itmay be going into your stomach
whole, but in order for you toget the nutrients from it, it
has to break down the body.

(16:53):
Look at the body like this it isa human juicer.
If you take an apple and you putit in a juicer and you and
basically you grind it, and thenthe liquid comes out, that's
what the body is.
The body, and that's what thedigestive process is is breaking
down whatever you put in it.
So the liquid, so the liquid, sothe juices that goes into the um

(17:15):
intestinal tract that goes intoyour small intestines, your
large intestines, and then intothe hepatic nerve to the liver,
that's all juice.
In order for it to get into thebloodstream, it has to be
liquefied.
So the nutrients become liquid.
So once it becomes liquid, itgoes into the bloodstream, and
then that's how you getbasically your energy and your

(17:37):
amino acids and all thenutrients that you need.
So if you're doing this from theplant base, you don't have that
breakdown, that that digestiveprocess is much easier on the
stomach and it needs easier onthe digestive system.
Go right ahead with your nextquestion.

SPEAKER_00 (17:52):
Okay, so my my that is is uh meat, first of all, you
know, it has a lot of calories,right?
So if if you if you're in needof you know a lot of calories,
like a person who's alwaysmoving around, then meat would
be a good resource, right?

(18:13):
Um, also plants don't have acomplete amino acid profile.
So, and that's to say that meatdoes, but meats I would say have
more of a complete profile ofamino acids.
So, how would like a plant or aplant-based diet provide enough

(18:36):
amino acids, a more completeprofile for someone who you know
wants to build muscle and workout and burn a lot of energy?

SPEAKER_02 (18:46):
Yeah, well, everything that you can get from
meats, you can get that and thensome from plants and and fruits.
Because when we're talking aboutplants, we're talking about
fruits and vegetables.
We're not just talking aboutvegetables alone, and we're not
talking about fruits alone.
So, in vegetables and plants,what they have is they have
protein, they havecarbohydrates, and they have
fiber, which is very important.
And then in the fiber aspect ofit, what it does is it slows

(19:09):
down the process of digestdigestion into the bloodstream.
For instance, if you eat whitesugar, it hits the bloodstream
like that.
No, it with no time because ithas no fiber in it.
So therefore, it's going to getinto your bloodstream quick.
And this is how um you get uhsomething like sugar diabetes,
because it's the saturation ofsugar circulated in the
bloodstream, which they saybasically you have high blood

(19:31):
sugar.
So it's basically the samething, sugar diabetes.
But when you're eating fruitsand vegetables, they can be
enjoyable, but they're notaddictive.
Why are they addictive?
Because they have the fiberelement to slow the digestive
process down for it to slimassimilate into the bloodstream
at the proper time in the properway, so you don't feel that
charge.
You don't feel like like whenyou eat some sugar and you feel

(19:52):
like, ooh, or you take some redbull, you feel that because of
the caffeine or the sugar in it.
So you feel that up thing realquick.
You don't feel that with whenyou eat uh fruits and vegetables
because it's a naturalassimilation.
And when you say fruits andvegetables don't have the amino
acids, they have all of theamino amino acids that require.
The only one that um a lot ofpeople say that they they lack

(20:15):
is the vitamin, I believevitamin B12, um in the in the
diets.
So if you want to take a vitaminB12 as a supplement, that's fine
to make sure, or if you want to,especially if you um like in
your case, you're a trainer,you're working out, you're doing
all these other activities whereyou feel as though you don't
have enough energy throughoutthe day.
But the important part also isum once you begin to eat one

(20:39):
meal a day, you should you'resupposed to have more energy,
not less energy.
And the reason why I say that isbecause once the body is no
longer saturated with heavyfoods, you feel lighter, you
have more energy as long asyou're using your energy in a
manner in which you regulate it.
In other words, you just not usethe energy, but you use energy,
in other words, you have purposefor your particular energy, and

(21:01):
therefore, if you movethroughout the day in that kind
of way, it'll be less likely,not that it won't happen, it'll
be less likely that you becomeenergy depleted.

SPEAKER_00 (21:11):
Gotcha, gotcha.
So um now to eat one meal a day.
Yes, okay.
What is the process to get tothat one meal a day?
Um, you know, me, I like to jumpright up head first into things,
right?
Um, you know, and I crashsometimes.
So, you know, so I was doing onemeal a day, and uh I was just I

(21:35):
just didn't have the energy.
So, you know, Brother EricMuhammad was saying, you know,
you know, if you were doingthree meals or if you're doing
four or five meals, however youwere doing it, just wean
yourself up one meal at a time.
Now, my concern is my concern isonce I get to this one meal a
day, which I was doing already,how can you pack in enough an

(22:02):
enough enough amount of caloriesfor you to have the energy
throughout the day and to thereserves for the next day?

SPEAKER_02 (22:10):
Well, my answer to you is you we train the body.
And when I say that, um, when Iused to be heavy into
bodybuilding, I used to eat notthree times a day, but five
times a day.
Because in order for you to packon that muscle, that muscle
mass, you have to give it asupply of energy.

SPEAKER_01 (22:30):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (22:31):
So I would eat five times a day.
I made sure I had whatever Ineed until so I can put that
muscle on.
I'm hitting the gym really hard.
So the biggest I've ever beenwas like 225.
Um, and because you're trainingto put on muscle.
But when you begin to eat onemeal a day, you're doing the
same thing, you're training yourbody.

(22:52):
So when I say the five meals, Iwas force feeding my body the
five.
My body wasn't calling for it,but I was force feeding it.
So after you for after I wasforce feeding it for a while,
then my body began to startcalling for it because now it's
trained.
Yo, you you've been feeding mebig, I'm ready.
It's been three hours.
Where's my food at?
So you train your body to callfor the food and want the food.

(23:12):
So when I got to one meal a day,you have to train your body off
of five males or the three malesor the two males.
So what you would have to do isyou have to go through a period.
Like when I first started doingone meal a day, I remember I was
I remember when I was in the gymwith my workout partner.
He's like, Yo, man, you startingto look like you're on, you
know, you on crack.
I said, Why you say he saidbecause you're getting real
small?
I said, Well, I'm changing mydiet, I'm doing one meal a day.

(23:34):
So there is a there's a process,you just can't do it and expect
to look the same you did eatingfive meals.
So there's a process, and afterthe process, after the training,
after the the period of time,there's it's almost like a lever
that clicks in your body, likeboop, okay, we we have
established the one meal now,and now we can actually do what

(23:57):
we did prior.
Um, even though we was eatingfive meals.
For instance, I'll give you aquick example.
I work for the New York CityDepartment of Sanitation for 25
years.
I used to go do my route, andafter my route, after work, I
used to go to the gym.
That's almost like two workoutsin a day on one meal.
So so it can be done.

(24:18):
It's just a training process.
A week is not going to do it.
You can't do it for a week, oryou can't do it for two weeks
and three weeks, and then youexpect, okay, it's gonna happen.
It takes, I can't tell you howlong it's gonna take you, but I
know it took me some time inorder for my body to click over
and make that transition.
Okay, and I've been eating onemeal a day now for I don't know
how long.

(24:38):
Now they call it intermittentfasting, but we know it as one
meal a day with the mosthonorable Elijah Muhammad.
And I and I mention intermittentfasting only because something
that the honorable ElijahMuhammad made a law, a dietary
law for the Muslims to prolongyour life and health.
Other people see the benefit ofit, but yet they don't want to

(25:00):
give him the credit and say onemeal a day, they'll say
intermittent fasting, whichmeans you eat one meal or two
meals, you know, for but but butyet in the process, you may not
eat for eight, 12 hours, you maynot eat for 16 hours.
So they call it intermittentfasting because they give you a
time restriction, a window inwhich we you can eat and you

(25:21):
cannot eat.
It's similar to one meal a day,you're not eating all day, and
this is why the honorable ElijahMuhammad said the main route of
these books is to stop you fromeating one or two or three meals
a day, which may prolong yourlife.
That's that's what the key is.
So I just wanted to put that outthere because it's a big crave
now for intermittent fasting.

(25:42):
I lost weight, I'm doingintermittent fasting.
But in my opinion, the author ofit all, because you have
scientists, when I sayscientists, heavy uh doctors and
surgeons, I forgot one surgeon'sname.
He's a he's a cardiologicalsurgeon.
He he's even telling his pet hispatients, if you fast, you would
become more healthier.

(26:02):
And all of and what I'm saying,all of this information is in
the how to eat the live and themessage to the black man, our
savior's arrived, fall ofAmerica with the honorable
Elijah Muhammad putting thatrestriction on us eat one meal a
day, even though we may not havethe the the the detailed
information of of to why, but itis effective, and it is

(26:25):
effective.
So it's important once you getto it, because it's not about um
gaining big muscles, and it'snot about um doing those kinds
of things, it's about the prothe the longevity of your life,
even though we may beChristians, Muslims, whatever
religious, whatever, whateverreligion we claim, no one wants
to leave the planet any fasterthan they have to.

(26:47):
Okay, so why not adopt a dietthat can help you sustain
yourself?

SPEAKER_00 (26:54):
Right now, I want to say uh that's what they call it
now.
It's the omed omed diet.
Okay, that's what they call itnow.
OMED diet.
Thank you, thank you, uh brotherJoey for the$30.
I really appreciate you.
Much, much, much appreciated.
Um, much appreciated, brotherJoey.
I just want to make sure yourname is up there and you're

(27:15):
shown, you know, you'reacknowledged.
Thank you, sir.
Really appreciate it.
We're trying to grow thisplatform uh to do more in-person
podcasts.
Um, so that's the goal.
So whatever, whatever donationsyou guys send, that's where it's
gonna be going to uh building uponline, online, building an
in-person platform.

(27:36):
We have a studio, um, however,uh, you know, this stuff costs.
So um, you know what I mean.
So thank you, Joey, brotherJoey.
So, yeah, um the brother said umthe adept more number seven.
Most of the time we're justdehydrated and think we're
hungry.
I can I could agree with that toa certain extent.

(27:58):
Sometimes we're lacking the thethe calories though, and we
don't we don't realize it.
So that's why I want to try to,you know, like when you're
eating this one meal, is it onemeal in one one sitting, or are
you eating from four to six?

SPEAKER_02 (28:16):
Well, usually it's one meal in one sitting, okay?
So usually it's not, you know,all day long after the
particular odd to the timeprescribed, because basically
your basic meal is that one meala day, which is usually one
sitting.
Now, if you want to havesomething to drink or you know
have some coffee, that's fine.
You can have that.
I'm not saying don't eat, don'tdrink anything after the one

(28:36):
meal, or don't drink anythingbefore the one meal.
We're talking about the actualfood that you consume.
But to answer the um to topiggyback on the brother's
question um about the deep mostof the time we're dehydrated.
Yes, we are dehydrated.
75% of adults when they go to umthe hospital for emergency care,
75% of them are dehydrated.

(28:58):
But sometimes we don't recognizethat we can get hydration
through the foods that we eat.
We we think of hydration when wethink of water, but you can get
hydration through watermelon,you can do get hydration through
melons, through throughstrawberries, and see that's the
beauty about fruits andvegetables, and you know they're
God's food is because they allcontain water, and each one of

(29:20):
the fruits and vegetablescontains water over 80 percent.
Now, if we are 75 water andwe're eating water as well as
drinking it, you're getting thenutrients, okay?
So you're not just drinking thewater, you're drinking the water
with the nutrients in it, soyou're getting water with all of
the nutrients that you need forthe maintenance of your overall
health.
So that's key, that's veryimportant.

(29:42):
What you're actually drinking,as opposed to soda pop, bear,
alcohol, hard liquor, and allthat other stuff.
If you're actually drinking thefood juice, like I talked about
with the apples, right now Ihave a blender as well as a
juicer.
I basically juice every day,right?
Every day I'm juicing, I'mdrinking my juice down.
So what Is that telling me thatthat that's giving me the
nutrients that I need, but it'salso giving me the hydration

(30:05):
factor, right?
Not just water, water, water.

SPEAKER_00 (30:09):
Right.
So now to go back to the eatingthe uh one meal in one sitting,
right?
How many are you like mappingout your calor calories?
Are you saying, all right, inthis one meal, I'm gonna eat
2,000 calories, I'm gonna eat2,500 calories, I'm gonna eat
because let's say if if with myactivity level is required for

(30:32):
my body to take in 3,000calories that day.
Because I'm I'm an athlete, I'mrunning, um training in this.
How are you are you calculatinghow many are you calorie
counting it?

SPEAKER_02 (30:48):
Well, let me let me also say this.
If you are because when we whenwe talk about how to eat the
live, we're talking about how toeat the live.
We're not we're not talkingabout a position in which, for
instance, if you take the formerum heavyweight and the greatest
heavyweight champion, in myopinion, ever lived, Muhammad

(31:10):
Ali.
At that time, the nation ofIslam's philosophy has never
changed from one meal a day.
But we recognize that him as aheavyweight champion of the
world, he cannot eat one meal aday.

SPEAKER_01 (31:22):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (31:23):
So we have to we have to put in the common sense
um rule into play.
If you're that physical andyou're doing, you know, where
your body is demanding certainfoods based on your physical
activity, baseball, football,boxing, and you're really, you
know, you're you're at thatlevel of it, then you have to

(31:44):
feed the Bobby the prop theproper nutrients.
You know, that's just commonsense.
So I'm not gonna try to uh fitthe one meal a day into a
lifestyle like that, you knowwhat I mean?
Because he needs to gotta get upfive o'clock in the morning, go
running for five miles, fromthere, go to the gym, hit the
bag for another 45 minutes to 10minutes, skip rope, do all of
that.
So that's very depleting.

(32:05):
So he gotta eat, he got tore-eat, and then he got to do
what he got to do for hisrelaxation.
So if you have a lifestyle whereyou're a professional athlete or
you're an athlete or you alwaysrunning, we can understand when
you don't basically prescribe toone meal a day based on your
profession of your particulardiscipline.
But that doesn't mean that youjust go out and eat a whole lot

(32:27):
of junk, a whole lot of stuffthat you know that's not good
and healthy for your body.
You know, you still have toremain a healthy diet as
possible.
No alcohol, no smoking, no,whether whether it's weed or
whether it's uh hookah, whetherit's whether it's uh this this
vape, this vape stuff, whateverit is, none of that.

(32:47):
You can't put any of that ininto your body and still want to
remain healthy.
So you want to eat healthyfoods, you want to eat healthy
fruits and vegetables and stufflike that to maintain your
physical strength andperformance level.
But at the same time, we don'twant you to go to the point
where you just say, ah, the hellwith it, I'm gonna eat what I
want to eat.
Because in the long run, andthis is why I say it's the

(33:09):
accumulation of what you've beendoing over years.
Once you hit 40, 50, 60 yearsold, you're gonna see the result
of your eating habits and yourlifestyle.
So when you we when you get tothat age, we want you to still
feel and look good.
That's the important part.

SPEAKER_00 (33:27):
Indeed, indeed.
So you're not you're notcounting how many calories in
the gym.

SPEAKER_02 (33:31):
No, I don't I don't count how many calories.
Um, I go like I said, I go tothe gym for an hour, an hour and
a half.
And my basic meal, I would sayfive or seven days a week is
salad.
The salad, I'll get, I'll get uhum some spinach, I have some
quinoa, I have some um uh umsome some regola.
I have some I have all kinds ofdifferent salads in there:

(33:54):
onions, garlic, tomato, all ofthat stuff, and it's it's a it's
a substantial enough where whenI finish eating, I'm satisfied,
but I'm not stuffed.
And that's another thing.
We eat past the point ofsatisfaction.
We just eat and eat and eat andeat, but you know, you already
fed your hunger, you're good,but you want to keep eating

(34:16):
more, so you want to try tolimit that activity as much as
possible because that's whereyou begin to start putting on
extra pounds.
And once we start climbing innumber, not getting old, not
getting old, climbing in number,you know, once we pass that age
of 35, it's really important toreally focus in on your diet and
your health because you're not21 years old no more.

(34:37):
You can't just run and jump andyou're okay, you're not gonna
see no pounds on you.
You gotta make sure that you'redoing what you need to do,
especially when you get pastthat age of 35, because that
weight is gonna show up on youreal quick.

SPEAKER_00 (34:48):
Right, right.
So now, um, so you answer thecalorie count.
So you're able to eat just likea salad, right?
Which that salad, a huge salad,let's say, with maybe some
dressing.
I don't know if you do dressing,you know, and you don't eat
meat, so you don't have thatthere.
So maybe your salad is maybethree, four hundred calories,

(35:11):
five hundred calories.

SPEAKER_02 (35:13):
Right, maybe, maybe if that, right.

SPEAKER_00 (35:15):
If that, if right if that, if that you're able to
survive day to day on just thatamount of calories, yes, for the
most part, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (35:22):
Now, from time to time I may eat something else,
but it's not to deviate from mydiet.
Like, for instance, if I go out,if me and my wife go out to
dinner or something like that, Imay have a little bit more to
eat, but on the normal, I don't,I don't, I don't go out and eat
like that.
And when I do when we end up,when we and her do go out, I
don't eat what's not on my diet,what's not in my diet.
In other words, I don't I stilldon't eat meat, or I still don't

(35:45):
eat a lot of white bread, Istill don't eat certain things.
I may eat a little more of it,but I just don't go back to the
bad stuff that I gave up.
I don't go back to that.

SPEAKER_00 (35:54):
Okay, so you you and you've been doing this for this
particular diet.
I know you've been eating onemeal a day for years, right?
Right.
So now, but now you're justdoing mainly salads, no, no
animal products.
How long have you been doingthat?

SPEAKER_02 (36:09):
Um no animal products for about 15 years.

SPEAKER_00 (36:14):
Wow, and so clean bill of health, you never get
sick, sick less.

SPEAKER_02 (36:18):
Yeah, matter of fact, I lost 25 pounds when I
went to when I started doing itbecause I was 225.
And then I once I start eatinglike this, I began to come down
and come down and come down.
So, like I said, even some ofthe guys that was in the gym,
they was like, Yo, what's thematter, man?
You're losing your size, what'sgoing on?
I'm like, listen, I changed, I'mnot, I'm not eating all of that
stuff, I'm not eating like thatanymore.

(36:39):
Um, and I said, Plus, I'mgetting older now, I'm not
trying to carry all of thatmuscle.
Um, and then three years later,they all start doing the same
thing.
They're like, Oh, I understandnow.
I said, See, you know, youunderstand when you get older,
you have to really focus in onyour overall health and diet.
Um, but also you have tounderstand what you can and

(37:00):
cannot do in reference toabusing your system by eating so
much food.
Like I was I never really abusedmy system, but I was just eating
too much to put the muscle onbecause muscle is active live
tissue, it's not like fat.
Fat is just waste on the body,it has no real purpose, it's
just there.
But muscle is what you utilizeand use, and you need to keep

(37:21):
strengthening, so you have tofeed it in order for it to be
active.

SPEAKER_00 (37:25):
So, like I said, like I said, I came down from
120 or 225 to 120, uh to two 200to 200, and you maintain 200,
which is eating less than 500calories a day, basically.

SPEAKER_02 (37:37):
Yes, yes, and I like I said, I juice every day, I put
my bananas in there, I put mystrawberries.

SPEAKER_00 (37:43):
Well, see, that's that's still that's still some
calories, a little bit.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
So you so you may may get inmaybe 700 calories, maybe,
maybe, because like I said, Ijuice every day, every day I
juice, and that's just straightliquid, straight down on my
juicer or my blender.

SPEAKER_02 (37:58):
Gotcha, gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 (37:59):
All right, now you had some notes that you wanted
to uh you had there.

SPEAKER_02 (38:03):
Yeah, I wanted to go over, and this is the importance
of um the how to eat to live,because when we look at black
America, the current state ofblack America in 2025, we're
number one in heart disease,number one in heart attacks,
number one in stroke, number onein breast cancer, prostate
cancer, colon cancer, lungcancer, high blood pressure,

(38:25):
being overweight or obese, andsecond in diabetes behind the
Native Americans.
So when you look at that, whenyou see the health chart before
you, before Black America, youhave to say that we are woefully
lacking in our health.
So we we need to adopt anotherform of diet, whether it is how
to eat the live one meal a day,or whether it's something that

(38:46):
you can gradually work with withtwo meals a day, because the
important factor is that youwant to improve your health.
And if you continue, now matterof fact, the the physicians and
the doctors are now to say, thisis, I believe, the first
generation where they areprojected that the parents will
live longer than their kidsbecause of the food that they
consume and now so muchprocessed food now.

(39:09):
I mean, 70% of the American dietis processed food.
And when I did the math on that,70% of the American diet is
processed food, but you have 70%of America that's either obese
or overweight.
And then you have 7% that isextremely obese.
So, what does that say?

(39:30):
We're eating too much, andpeople think that um you have to
eat three meals a day.
You don't have to.
Matter of fact, eating threemeal a day, any three meals a
day didn't really come intopopularity until 1906 with the
Kellogg brothers who developedum cornflakes.
Once they introduced cornflakesto the American public, then the

(39:52):
then basically that sparked thethree meals a day thing.
Because what the slogan thatthey his assistant came up with
a slogan is breakfast is thebest, it's the first meal of the
most important meal of the day.
And people still talk about thattoday.
But that was the marketing toolthat they used in order to get
people to eat breakfast becausethat one time people wasn't
eating breakfast like they eatit now, they didn't make it an
essential meal, is what I'msaying.

(40:13):
They didn't say you can't leavethe house without eating
breakfast.
After 1906, they marketed that.
That's how they got uhcornflakes and and cereals off
the shelves because they wantedto sell their product, which was
cornflakes, and these areKellogg brothers.
Don't take my word for it, lookit up, and you'll see it.
Then that's when people startdoing that one meal, that three
meals a day, three meals a day,three meals a day.

SPEAKER_00 (40:36):
Okay, okay.
Now, um, before we go more intothe notes, I have another
question.
Yeah.
Person who works out.
When after you finish workingout, are you drinking and shake
or are you doing anything likethat?

SPEAKER_02 (40:48):
Yes.
Soon as I finish working out, Iwould say maybe 30 minutes after
I finish working out.
Um, either at home or I'll go tomy local juice bar.
Shout out to my local juice barhaul.
Um, so uh yeah, I go there and Iusually get me a vegetable, a
vegetable juice.
I don't get a protein shake, Iget a vegetable juice.
And basically, it's like allgreens in there.

(41:09):
They put everything green in itand a green apple, and then they
also put uh turmeric, they alsoput ginger, and they also put
lemon in there, and I drink thatdown.
And that's I usually do thatfive days a week.
If I don't get it from there,I'll just do it when I get home
um on my own and I make it here.

SPEAKER_00 (41:25):
So you know, I'm a calorie counter.
So so so you're doing two shakesthen?
Yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02 (41:32):
Okay one before and one after.

SPEAKER_00 (41:34):
All right, so I would say in those two shakes,
you're getting about 300calories.
Okay.
To four, maybe.
I'm just saying, it just maybe,maybe, right?
And then and then the othermiddle, now you're getting
three, so you're you're hittingthe creeping up to the thousand
calories in my mind.

SPEAKER_02 (41:52):
And and and and and and what why it's good because
for me, you have to develop yourown routine.
I get up in the morning, I dowhat I have to do as far as you
know, getting in the bathroom,taking care of myself.
Then I don't eat anything.
So I hit the gym.
I hit the gym about, I don'tknow, maybe about 11 o'clock.
After I leave the gym, and nowmind you, I haven't ate

(42:12):
anything.
So I like working out withouteating anything.
I don't feel sluggish, I don'tfeel tired, I don't feel like
I'm not strong, I feel good.
And the other thing it does, itkeeps the weight off because now
I'm working out in a fastingmode.
Because breathless really meansbreak your fast.

SPEAKER_01 (42:27):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (42:27):
But because I didn't eat anything, I'm not breaking
my fast, but yet I'm in the gymworking out, so I'm working out
while my body is still fasting.
So that's making sure that theextra fat or the dexilators or
whatever the kids is being burntoff me.
Then I go get my shake after thegym.
Then I say, you know what, letme go get my juice now.
And then I'll drink, and then Iactually feel like, ooh, that
felt good.

(42:48):
Just to you know, get thenutrients back in me.
And then later on, um, maybeabout 4:30, five o'clock, then I
have my first actual food mealthat I'll eat.
And then later on, if abasketball game or something's
on and I'm watching something,I'll make me a shake and then
I'll drink my shake.

SPEAKER_00 (43:05):
There we go.
So, so you get you, so it's it'sit's one meal and two shakes.
There we go.
I think I could do somethinglike that.
I think I think I could do twomeals and two shakes, right?

SPEAKER_01 (43:18):
Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 (43:18):
You know, I think that's how I'm gonna do it
because the one mil, the way Itrain and all of that was
killing me.
And it actually messed up myworkout.
I said, you know what?
I'm not working out.
Wow, it threw my workout off fora whole week.
So let's let's let's go on,let's go back into uh your
notes.

SPEAKER_02 (43:34):
Okay, um, I do have uh quite a bit of notes here.
Um, I'm gonna cover with howmuch time we got left.
We ain't got much time.
So I want to do, I want to gointo um, okay.
The most honorable honorableElijah Mohammed instructed his
followers to eat one meal a day,right?
Why to prolong their life?
Because it takes 24 hours, 24hours to completely digest your

(43:59):
meal, allow it to similarassimilate into the bloodstream,
and then the eliminationprocess, which is very, very
important.
The elimination process, okay.
Um, because once you have theelimination process, you have no
accumulation.
This is what you don't want.
This is why the one meal a dayis so important.

(44:19):
There's no accumulation of wastematter, okay.
So if there's no accumulation inthe colon of waste matter, then
the the chances of youdeveloping polyps, tumors, or
cancer or colon cancer becomeslim to none.
Because what we don't realizewhen we eat three meals a day,

(44:41):
the body is breaking down thisfood, pushing it to the colon.
Then the then the next meal, thebody is breaking down the food,
pushing it to the colon.
The last meal, the dolly, thebody is breaking down the food,
pushing it to the colon.
Now you're being impacted overand over.
You're not giving the digestivesystem a chance to rest.
All you're doing is packing itin, packing it in, packing it

(45:01):
in.
And then somebody, you havethree meals a day.
Say if you're eating three mealsa day, you got seven days a
week, right?
So that's 21 meals a week.
But yet the elimination processcan only be three to five a week
for some people.
So now, whatever what happenedto the other 19 or 18
elimination process?

(45:22):
Where is it at?
It has to be somewhere, it'snot, it didn't disappear, so
it's still in the colon.
This is why 70% of adults sufferfrom um gastro digestive issues
because of the impacted in thecolon.
You have to clean that out, andthat's the beauty about the one
meal a day, also.
It doesn't allow your body toaccumulate poisons from the food

(45:44):
you eat.
And when I say poisons from thefood you eat, you can have the
best food on the planet, butthere is a digestive process
that breaks down and gives youthe best and leaves the rest
that's come becomes waste.
What is waste?
Waste is poison to the systemand to the body.
You have to remove it, you haveto get it out, and the only way

(46:04):
to get it out is through theelimination process.
So if you're constantly eating,but yet you're not eliminating,
then what you're doing is you'rebasically storing waste in the
colon that can lead to coloncancer.
And black men are number one,not black men, black people are
number one in colon cancer.
I already said that.

(46:25):
You know that from um the formeractor um Chazwick Bowman that
played the Black Panther, hedied at a young age of colon
cancer, you know.
So it's very important uh whenyou eliminate that colon.
Not only that, the colon iswhere 80% of your immune system
is.
So now if you're constantlypacking in the food, not

(46:45):
allowing the immune system to dothe work that it needs to do,
which is travel throughout thebody and pick up the debris and
all of these uh bacteria orviruses that is supposed to
cleanse the body because nowit's impacted, it's being
hampered by you eating threemeals a day.
So I want to mention that also.
Then I also the other thing withsugar diabetes sugar diabetes is

(47:09):
the saturation of sugarthroughout the blood.
But if you're eating one meal aday before you get to the next
meal, the sugar's out the blood.
So you're not over taxing thepancreas.
Okay, because if you over-taxthe pancreas, then the pancreas
is not working properly, and nowyou got to use insulin because
the pancreas, your yourparticular pancreas inside your
body is not producing enoughinsulin and allowing the the

(47:32):
actual food nutrients to getinto the cells.
So now they gotta force feed youinsulin in order for it to work.
But the one meal a day, youdon't have to worry about that.
The same thing with the saltsand the sugar and a high blood
pressure.
Okay, so it's really a systemthat's designed to make the
overall body function in a waythat is natural to a healthy

(47:54):
lifestyle and to longevity.

SPEAKER_00 (47:58):
Gotcha, gotcha.
Makes sense, that makes sense.
So now, and any other notes thatyou want to go over?

SPEAKER_02 (48:04):
Yeah, I want to go over um fasting and the beauty
of it.
When sometimes we say, Iremember when I used to be uh at
work, it's like, man, you're noteating, you fasted.
How do you do that?
We we make it a marvel becausewe haven't tried it.
It's not something impossible,and it's not something that you
can't do or no one else can do,it's just the discipline.

(48:25):
We have given up the will, theactive will to discipline
ourselves to do what is right.
So with fasting, it's just thediscipline of it.
Okay, fasting is prescribed.
What happens to the body whenyou fast?
The most honorable ElijahMuhammad says fasting can heal,
can heal 99% of your ailments?

(48:47):
Okay, why did he say that?
This is what he said.
The followers, the believersbelieve what he said, so they
participate in fasting.
But let me help you to furtherbelieve what he said.
Now, when you do the fastingprocess, what you're doing is
you're doing an internalcleansing as well.
For the first 10 to 12 hours,your body, your body's energy is

(49:10):
running on glucose, which issugar.
It's another word for sugar.
So say if you eat your firstmeal, right?
You get up in the morning, youeat breakfast, you eat a big
breakfast.
Now, once your food begins todigest, what it turns to is
glucose, sugar.
So you're running on that.
That's your energy.
So I wanted to say that so youcan understand as well as I go
along.
Now, after the first to 10, 12hours, you start being depleted

(49:33):
in sugar, okay?
Then what your body does is from12 to 16 hours is start feeding
on the fat on the body, whateverfat you have on your body,
wherever it may be, because youremember we have two forms of
fat.
We have subcontainers, and thenwe have um um subcontainers is
the fat that you actually touchright.
Then you then exactly have theactual visceral visceral is the

(49:55):
fat that's on the organs of thebody.

SPEAKER_00 (49:56):
Oh, the visceral is on the organs.

SPEAKER_02 (49:58):
Yeah, visceral is inside the body that you don't
see.
Subcontainous is what you canactually pinch and see.
Okay, so you have two forms offat on the body.
So what happens is after the12th and 16th hour, then you
begin to feed off the fat onyour body, okay?
And then from the 16th to the20th hour, your your fat is
being converted into ketones.

(50:21):
Ketones are a system in whichthe body burns fat at a level in
which it is easier for the bodyto hold on to energy because the
body realizes wait, I'm noteating now, and now I'm gonna
have to go into my reserve,okay?
And my reserve are my fatsthat's con turned into ketones.

(50:41):
So that's what happens.
Now the magic happens after the20th hour, the 24th hour, which
happens is autophagy happens,and this is what autophagy is.
This is why I say fasting isbeautiful when you understand
it.
Your body begins to do aninternal cleanse.
Okay, so all of the cellulardebris, all of the dysfunctional

(51:02):
cells, all of the cancerpre-cancer cells, all of these
cells that's in the body that'slying dormant, that's there,
that could potentially grow tosomething, begins what it does,
it actually does a wholesweeping.
I have to use all of this forenergy to burn.
So now I'm cleaning all of this,and in the process of cleaning
all this, I'm converting theseuh um cells from from from

(51:26):
dysfunctional or debris.
Once I remove that, then mynatural, normal, healthy cells
can grow more proficiently, andnot then after that, you at the
30th hour, what happens also isthe human body begins to make
HGH, which is human growthhormone.
And human growth hormone is theyouth, they call it the youth
hormone.

(51:47):
And the reason why they call itthe youth hormone is because you
begin to look and feel younger.
You can actually see it in yourcontinence, you can see it in
your skin, you can see it inyour face, you actually feel and
look younger.
It's called um uh human growthhormone.
So that's very important, andnot only there, I'm not gonna
stop there because we can gofurther into the fast.

(52:09):
Now, if you go to 30 or 30 or36-hour fast, now you're talking
about brain deprived neurotropicfactor, where you're actually
your actual brain begins toenhance the synapses and the
neurons, which is thecommunication of the brain.
It's just it's almost like yousaid, in like, I want to pick
this cup up.
So I reach my hand and pick thiscup up.
But in order for me to reach myhand and pick this cup up, you

(52:31):
have neurons in your brain, butyour neurons don't communicate
with each other without thesynapses.
The synapses goes to the otherneuron and tell the other neuron
what I'm what I'm thinking ofwhat I want to do.
But the communication hashappened so fast, we don't think
of it like that.
But they communicating with eachother, the brain cells are
actually communicating with eachother.
So, what it does is it helps toreorganize and the brain and the

(52:55):
memory and learning and focusand concentration, it keeps it
clearer and fresher in thebrain.
So, this is what fasting does.
So, when we look at fasting froma health perspective, the
honorable Elijah Muhammad is100% correct when he's talking,
when he talks about fasting canheal 99% of your ills.
Because if you're relativelyhealthy or if you're going

(53:17):
through a health issue and younever looked at fasting as a way
to help you, maybe you need toin corresponding with your
physician or your doctor.
Because it's very important toyou understand the biological
nature in which the creator putin you.
The creator put everything inyou that you need, it's just
that you have to understand andlearn how to utilize it for your

(53:38):
overall benefit.

SPEAKER_00 (53:39):
Indeed, indeed.
Sorry, I'm trying to sendsomebody this uh this live.
Yeah.
Uh okay.
Any anything else you want to goover before we before we come?
We got uh seven minutes.

SPEAKER_02 (53:51):
Um, yeah, I'll go over.
I already mentioned that.
So I'll go over really quick.
Um the reason why I say, or thereason why the honorable Elijah
Muhammad says, let me say that,um, meat is no longer meat

(54:13):
eaters by nature, um, and itwill shorten your lifespan, is
because even in today's market,um, we have to understand that
there's six different hormonesinjected into meat, whether it
is uh beef, lamb, chicken,turkey, or for other forbidden
flesh, which is pork.
And not only that, they'refeeding pigs now and cattles a

(54:36):
steroid, a feed steroid calledraptopamine.
And this steroid is supposed tomake build muscle or fat onto
the particular animal to fattenthem up before they actually go
to the market.
It's not making a healthiercattle, but what it's doing is
it's making them grow faster ina shorter period of time to get
them to the market so you canpurchase them.

(54:58):
The other thing is when theywhen you go to these
slaughterhouses and they cutthese chickens up and they fill
these chickens up, they arewashing them in chlorine.
I'm gonna say that again.
They are washing them inchlorine, okay?
And they also fit it, fillingeverything and they because they
think antibiotics is thesolution for everything.
So it's over, it's an overuse ofantibiotics.

(55:19):
And people don't realize, evenwhen you have a slight
infection, whether it's a toothinfection or whether you have
another infection, and you go tothe doctor and they say, Well,
you have an infection, let megive you these antibiotics, and
you take the get the antibioticsfrom the drugstore, you go home,
you take them for the period oftime you're supposed to take
them.
What it does is it affect itaffects your bacterial fluoride.

(55:40):
It basically puts it almost nota not out of balance, but it
puts it in an imbalance.
Okay, so it's important to takeprobiotics after you take
antibiotics to balance out yourfluoride because antibiotics
just wipes it clean, it'sindiscriminate.
So your good bacteria and yourbad bacteria is being wiped away
with antibiotics.

(56:01):
So, what you want to do is youwant to bring that balance back.
So when you bring that balanceback, use a probiotic.
Go to the store, get you a goodprivate probiotic, and it'll
help the intestinal fluoridegrow because you are supposed to
have inflectional and intestinalfluoride in the gut, friendly
bacteria as well as bad bacteriafor overall healthy gut.
That's important.

(56:22):
The other thing I want to sayabout meat is processed meat.
This is what the World HealthOrganization said October 2000,
October 15th.
They came to the conclusion.
They said processed meat is theyclassify processed meat as a
number one carcinogen.
And they say it will, not itmight, not it probably will, not

(56:43):
maybe you might.
They said it will cause cancer.
This is what the world healthorganization said.
Processed meat is hot dogs,bacon, whether, whether, whether
pork or beef or turkey, coldcuts, salami, and sashes.
So I'm just letting you knowthis is what the World Health
Organization is.
If you don't believe me, look itup yourself.
Say, what did the World HealthOrganization say about processed

(57:06):
meat?
And you can Google it, we canGoogle everything now.
They'll let you know that onOctober 2015, they came up with
a study saying that it's acarcinogen and it will cause
cancer.
And then they said red meat,it's a possibility that it's a
carcinogen as well.
They didn't, they didn't, theydidn't, they didn't they didn't
clearly identify it like theydid processed meat, but they
said it's a possibility.

(57:26):
So I say all that to say meat isnot necessary for you to have a
healthy long life, is what I'msaying.
And you don't need animalprotein when you can get plant
protein.

SPEAKER_00 (57:38):
Okay.
Now um before we close out, um,you know, I I want to go more in
depth into you know these theseyou know the plants that
actually have protein.
And you know, eventually we wecan do that if if you would like
to come up again.
Um so before we close out,anything else you would like to

(57:59):
say?

SPEAKER_02 (58:00):
Um the only thing I would like to say, I like to end
it on this when I read um how toeat to live.
Um, and the honorable ElijahMuhammad says this your mind is
the most powerful force in yourpossession.
I say this because you can eatthe best foods that money can
buy.

(58:21):
You can eat one meal a day, onemeal every two days, or one meal
every three days.
But if your thoughts are onnegativity, misery, bitterness,
gloom, you will create that inyour life.
Focus on positivity,hopefulness, confidence,
optimism, great expectations.

(58:41):
Be in the spirit of God.

SPEAKER_00 (58:45):
All right.

Uh, we had the brother HermanSmalls on to talk about health
and fitness at some point.
I gotta get him back up.
Um, you know, it just seems asif people are more interested in

(59:08):
other topics.
However, this is probably one ofthe most important topics that
we could tackle.
So I would love to keep doingthis.
Thank you guys for coming outthis evening to watch the show.
