What is the Body Ecology Diet?

The Body Ecology Diet is an increasingly popular way of eating that promotes intestinal health and restored balance in the body’s inner ecosystem. The book by Donna Gates which started it all back in 1994, The Body Ecology Diet: Recovering Your Health and Rebuilding Your Immunity, is now in its 10th edition. The Body Ecology Diet brings together seven pillars of the holistic health field. It is gluten-free, casein(dairy)-free, sugar-free and yeast-free, but it goes further than that: the most important component of the Diet is the use of fermented drinks, “cheese” and vegetables that anyone can make at home. These fermented foods have such powerful pro-biotic properties that they can reduce or even eliminate the need for expensive drugs or pro-biotic powder preparations.

Benefits: Who can be helped by the Body Ecology Diet?

This diet is recommended for people with many different health conditions. Benefits include better absorption of nutrients, elimination of sugar cravings and mood swings, strengthened immune system and adrenals, and improved brain function such as increased focus, clarity of thought and creativity. The Body Ecology Diet book is described as “a must-read for anyone who wants to be healthy or who is exhausted, overweight or has digestive problems, [or] candida, viral infections, cancer, or neurological disorders such ADD, Autism, Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis.” Many testimonials can be found at www.bodyecology.com .

Besides reading the book, where can one get practical advice about the Diet?

Workshop participants can watch the fermented foods being made and get their questions answered by the “go-to” Body Ecology expert in Canada, Oli Ullmann. Oli’s practical demonstration is the best tool how to learn a new cooking/fermenting skills. After the workshop you will be ready to use this skills in your kitchen.

Wednesday Evenings with Garry Tibbo talking about Emergency Preparedness

May 23, 30, June 2, 9, 2007 at 7 pm in the Music Room at TWS

Electricity, water, food, shelter. If these are interrupted, what will you do, what can you do? My native heritage, health issues and personal challenges made me take a good hard look at self sufficiency and self reliance. Failing to plan is planning to fail. On the other had--successful planning is planning for success. Changes in our environment are certain and coming whether you are ready or not. I can introduce you to some simple things that anyone can afford over a reasonable amount of time: knowledge, wisdom, books and tools. Our government advises preperation for 72 hours. I say three weeks, how about three months or as long as you want. I thank God for the wisdom I have been granted and am able to share. Respect to all. I am also available for other speaking engagements regarding self sufficiency and self reliance. I can be reached at 416-740-6668 during business hours Monday - Thursday. —Garry Tibbo
