[FairfieldLife] Steve Jobs diet quirks
Interesting article on Steve Jobs dietary quirks (not too unlike some quirks people have here) and comments by nutritional experts: http://bodyodd.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/02/8598251-the-strange-eating-habits-of-steve-jobs

Often these are taken to obsessive and excessive levels: worrying about the latest-greatest supplements or dosing up on Indian or Chinese herbs to the point of heavy-metal overload. Jobs clearly signed his own death certificate with the strange idea that he could force a rare form of pancreatic CA into remission through diet. Occasionally you'll see someone who gets lucky with such an approach, but almost invariably these types just suddenly disappear. Gone. The only good news in this case is now I may eventually get Flash on my iPad…but otherwise what a waste of a life, all based on holding strange untenable beliefs.

Modern mainstream healthcare isn't very good when it comes to diet. Too many doctors want a one diet fits all approach and that won't work. And how many times have you heard as I have from air head nationalists eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Vegetables yes but fruits can cause blood sugar imbalances and need to be addressed with care. Doctors are lucky if they get one semester on nutrition. Probably the biggest influence on the body is what you eat daily. The ancients had a good handle on it be it Ayurveda or Chinese medicine. It's really nothing much more than biochemistry but as one former med student told me many med students find biochemistry challenging and have difficulty passing the course. Perhaps we should limit medicine to those with actually have a talent for it rather than those whose parents were doctors.

I haven't checked into it yet but I heard a claim that he lived 8 years beyond diagnosis when 1 to 2 years is the average so some things he did might have helped.

It was the carrots-and-apples-for-weeks that kind of got to me. Besides overload, really boring. Probably explain his shifting moods too. Not such a great idea being CEO of a major company, holding meetings, etc while you're basically starving yourself.

I see an MD who's an Integrative practitioner. Yes it does depend on the physician. My ayurvedic doc was an MD. Moved out of the area to run a hospital up north. California isn't as hip about such stuff as people might think because the California Medical Association rules with an iron hand in lockstep with Big Pharma. Doctors have become drug pushers.

And most holistic-type practitioners do not possess the wisdom to distinguish the differences. I would disagree with that. After all the holistic practitioners I had *were* MDs. And as you should know there are pharmaceuticals that were derived from the molecular structure of herbs used for remedies. I'm just not big on conventional medicine since I've had years of success with alternative care. Sure there are things like a cataract that alternative does not even get into. I think there are too many sour grapes on FFL because of a few bad alternative practitioners.

An offer I-tunes lacks (or have I missed that.) Amazon Instant Video recently acquired access to all PBS content. The expands their library a lot -- for quality programming (should one be inclined towards documentaries -- I like a lot of their stuff.) Way cheaper tablet, way cheaper content. And Droid Honeycomb looks great. Agreed. We have Prime, and love it, so will probably get a Fire as well. But it sure would be nice to be able to also use our iPad for that too.
