Dr. Jewel Pookrum was foremost in helping African-American women eliminate fibroids from their bodies by changing their diets. She also understood that cells, when not exposed to stress, do not age. I listened to this presentation on Pacifica Radio in New York several years ago. Dr. Pookrum also said she was not in favor of transporting seeds to germinate in other parts of the world.
I was looking at a vitamin supplement catalog and saw several juices for sale – Mangosteen, Brazilian Acai, Tibetan Goji, and Noni. There was an exotic juice that combined all of them.
Dr. Pookrum’s comment about transporting seeds from their place of origin came to mind.
What if the benefits used to sell the juice, based on historical use, are the result of the energy of the place where the seeds germinated and the people who consumed it in that area?
I have grown food on my windowsill in New York and in containers in the British Virgin Islands. It is obvious each area is different. New York has a different climate than the Caribbean. As each area has different criteria for produce, it stands to reason that the energy of each area complements the criteria and would also be different. I think it is possible that a product can be changed because of the energy changes.
People in Hawaii who consume noni would have a different benefit than someone in New York. People consuming Tibetan Goji in Tibet would have a different benefit than someone in San Diego.
A lot of the texts for these or other fruits claim to have had many years of use. A culture uses what is available and determines through trial and error how a plant or fruit can be used. Any fruit or other product consumed for thousands of years by the people who lived in the vicinity of the raw material would be associated with specific information.
I purchased Cho-Wa, the original Tiger Shogun formula because I was excited about the product. Later I realized that a part of using it was the long, focused trek that people embarked on when they traveled to go to see the monk who created it. All of them had in mind to get well while they traveled several hours to get to the mountain home of this person. The instructions attempted to have the user approach a state of mind similar to the travelers. It did not work for me; I still have 24 out of 30 packets in the cabinet.
It is a little difficult to consume only the foods used here, in the British Virgin Islands, where I am at this time because the diet is cultural. I do not eat fish heads; bull foot’s soup; souse, and dumplings (literally flour and water only), etc. I stopped consuming animal flesh in the 1980s. I stopped consuming fish a couple of years prior to coming here. I more than made up for that within the first year alone while living here. It is easy to eat the Standard American Diet (SAD) which I gave up because tourism is the main economic pillar and the territory does what it can to please overnight tourists; the United States is the largest market.
Consuming foods within the area where you are located is something to think about. One diet based on distance does exist. The 100 Mile Diet, now known as Fuddhist, was the radius set for food from source or purchase to plate.
A USDA map shows planting zones based on the “average annual minimum temperature range” only. Please visit the site for more in-depth information about yours and any other area. This does not come close to what I am proposing. In fact, I have no idea what exactly I am proposing except that with just differences in location, temperature, solar energy, etc. there could be a measured difference in energy that contributes to food production and its effect on and in the food. How could this be measured? I need to determine what I am looking for and determine if there is a way to quantify it. I think it is energy. A tomato from California (zones 5b- 10b) may have a different energy level than one growing in Colorado (zones 4b-9b).
We all know how important soil is. That has been studied and the information is quantifiable. However, we can see and feel the soil. We cannot feel what I am proposing. Some may be able to sense or see it with the third eye.
Viktor Schauberger discussed the soil’s purple hymen that should not be penetrated with any metal that is not copper or copper plated. Few people pay attention to this today. As I develop this, I will write more. It may go either way: there is something to reveal or I am talking in my hat. I feel that there is. It makes sense to me.

Health Coach Services
A holistic health practitioner (or health counselor) is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, food cravings, sleep and energy. Through working with me, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that we look at how all areas of your life are connected and affected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I lead workshops on nutrition and offer individual and group health and nutrition counseling. I realized a dream to study at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and it changed my life. Let me support you to change yours.
