You are what you eat: The Adam's Apple

How many of us actually understand the food that we eat? Where it comes from? How it is grown and what quality they possess? Many of what we know are passed down by our parents, Television and now the internet and many a time we blindly fall into a cycle of blind faith and believing that something is actually good and safe for us!

We all love a good salad with fresh cherry tomatoes or perhaps a potato salad and this is more so in the west, whilst in tropical south east asia eggplant and chilli dominate many of our local dishes but what value do these vegetables bring to our health and are we actually eating the right stuff or are we slowly poisoning ourselves?

Potatoes, Tomatoes, Chili, Peppers, eggplants are all part of the nightshade family, infamous for it’s poisonous quality. They contain solanine a neurotoxic chemical used as a sedative that has varying effects on the human health. Try eating a whole bunch of potatoes for 3 meals a day 7 days a week, and you may start to feel sluggish, tired, a headache will set in, and as you increase the solanine levels in your bloodstream you will start to feel ill or depressed and hitting a few hundred milligrams can kill you in less than 30 mintues. But that’s not it, other chemicals are also present in potatoes such as scopolamine ,atropine and nicotine. Scopolamine has been used as a "truth drug"; atropine is a hallucinogenic drug also used to treat cardiac arrest; and nicotine of course is an addictive insecticide

Stenier through his study and his connection of the spiritual realm has classified potatoes with an intrinsic quality of causing general heaviness to the body creating a levity effect to the mental body and bringing it down to earth, the mental body enters a state of unconsciousness and drive people towards a false sense of security.

The tomato plant, a gorgeous vegetable producing sweet fruits high in vitamin C and other goodness. Again part of the nightshade family it contains most of the chemicals mentioned above. Stenier through his observation of the tomato plant realised that it is a self content plant that pulls itself away from the environment, it didn’t need to be rotated like other vegetable and can live in the same spot for many years without any degeneration of the crop. And if you were to use compost made from tomato plants, that is, if you were to let the tomatoes grow in their own compost, they would grow even better. Tomatoes have no desire to step outside of themselves, no desire to step outside the realm of strong vitality. That’s where they want to stay. They are the least social beings in the entire plant kingdom. They do not want anything from strangers, and above all, they do not want any fertilizer that has gone through a composting process; they reject all that. This is the reason that they can influence what works independently within the human or animal organism.” And because of this Stenier has said:’ people diagnosed as having cancer should immediately be forbidden to eat tomatoes, because cancer from its very inception makes a certain part of the human or animal body independent of the rest of the organism.”

Please don’t be alarmed with what I’ve shared here, life has to go on and a lot of the time these vegetables bring more goodness to our life than the poison within them, awareness is your best weapon and remember to always do things in moderation.
