Synopsis

Geoff Bond’s book "Natural Eating" surprises us by questioning many fondly held beliefs. Human beings have forgotten how they should be feeding themselves. Instead we are misled by the nutritional establishment which is blinkered by poor science, cultural conditioning, and by commercial vested interests. The book cuts through the hype, misinformation and confusion to teach the basic, simple truth about how humans should be feeding themselves. It is neither just a quick fix nor a new diet; it is much more – it is a way of life! It will change the practitioner’s life around. It will optimize his life chances for health, vitality and longevity. It avoids the health destroying distortions of fad diets. Many people want to eat right but are confused by the conflicting messages. Natural Eating gives us the tools to see the truth clearly. It all becomes simple when we make our decisions based on the knowledge of what it means to be a human being. We now know the origins of the human species, its ideal feeding pattern and how we can emulate this in today’s world. There are many surprises. Many foods that both the public and conventional nutritionists consider a normal, even essential part of the diet, are making us sick. We need to sharply reduce them, even ban them completely. We need to give more emphasis to others. As Geoff Bond says "our Pleistocene ancestors KNEW they were living in a dangerous place. Today, we are like lambs to the slaughter. The average supermarket is just as dangerous a place to find food as the savannahs of East Africa. We need to be just as skilful as our ancestors in making wise choices."

About this title

From the Author

Back to Basics - Putting the Right Gas in the Tank.
Where does Man come from? Are we genetically programmed for a particular way of eating? Only recently have the answers been researched in a scientific way.

This book describes how we know where humans beings originated, the kind of foodstuffs available, and the actual feeding pattern that our ancestors followed.

We now know the right feeding pattern for the human species!

Our bodies today are just the same as they were back then when their bodies had been in harmony with their feeding environment for tens of thousands of generations.

The new foods that have arrived in the diet since that far off time some 50,000 years ago are described. They often disrupt our biochemistry and our digestive system. Diseases due to dietary errors such as depressed immune system, cancer, cardio-vascular diseases, osteoporosis, bowel disorders, constipation, indigestion, allergies and arthritis are explained.

Finally the strategies for emulating this ideal eating pattern in the modern world are taught. By so doing we achieve our genetic potential for health, vitality and long life.

Human beings, of all the creatures, think that they can deny the laws of Nature! But by ignoring the fact that they are organic creatures with well defined feeding requirements, they drastically undermine their evolutionary foundations.

We are on the slippery slope to self-destruction - and we are speeded on our way by the appalling misinformation and hypocrisy in matters of nutrition.

What kind of bequest are we leaving to future generations? Adults bedridden with degenerative disease and a population of diabetic and obese children?

We hope not. This book is a crusade against the deteriorating health of our populations and a route map for the way out.

In broadcasting the simple truth about our nutritional heritage, we can reverse these trends - We can learn how to feed in harmony with the way our bodies were designed to function.

About the Author

Geoff Bond graduated with first and second degrees in applied sciences from London University in the early 1960's. He spent many years living among primal peoples in Africa and other parts of the globe. From his research on human origins and our ancient nutritional heritage, Geoff has become a recognized authority on what it means to be human in lifestyle terms. Geoff’s message is scientifically rigorous and cutting-edge. Its conclusions, although surprising, are thoroughly documented in the scientific literature. Geoff operates from the island of Cyprus and speaks frequently in Europe and America. He is a regular lecturer for doctors’ continuing education programs. Geoff’s books are reference works for lifestyle anthropology and the mastering of degenerative disease.
