Daily Journal February 17, 1998, William Thomas Thompson. It is hard to stop talking about truth, I keep thinking more and more about truth and wondering what this country would be like if everybody told the truth. Why have secrets, why does the government not tell the truth. Why do sales people not tell the truth? Lots of salesmanship is built on lies, if the truth was known there would be no deal. Exodus 20-16,"Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor." This is one of the 10 commandments given. Make us content and may we all obey thy will Dear Lord. Yesterday I typed the journal 3 times; twice I lost the copy to a lightning storm that took down the electric power. This word processor has no battery to save the copy just entered. I hope the disc is okay. It takes time to get it right and correct the copy. Let everybody keep the laws of the Lord God first! I will make a list at the end of this month of all the foods I believe are healthy for me and good for me on one page. I will not list all the foods I like unless I eat them for my health. I must close the gap one day and eat only those foods which I believe will build my health and keep me with muscle and strength. Good taste last about 10 seconds while the wrong foods last a good 24 hours and makes me feel rotten. I have a long list of ill effects I feel immediately after eating sweets of any kind. I may be allergic to sugar natural or refined. I suffer numbness in my hands and feet immediately after eating one bite of anything that is sweet including the light dressing on most slaw. Sweet potatoes are high on the good health list but I suffer the same from them. I suffer air bubbles in my left eye after eating sweets, a tightening in my ears, tired and sleepy with an irritating mood. Phlegm develops in my throat and I experience a rapid urination and increase in bowel movement. My joints hurt and are instantly sore. I feel a negative in my eyes with burning and watering. I feel stinging all over. This became more noticeable after I had gone off sugar as a daily diet. Thirst after sweets increases and last for one day. I can tell the volume of sugar I have had by the bathroom frequents. If I sleep all night, I am sugar free. If I wakeup at 3 A.M. needing the bathroom, I know it’s the sugar. Sugar causes me to have heat flashes and a dry throat. Sugar disturbs my thought pattern, natural or refined. If I eat out I find that sugar is used in the America taste for sales because it’s good. I can order sugar free but get loaded. My Mother cooked this way and it was the greatest taste in the entire world. Her green beans had sugar added. Half a grapefruit is a must for me daily and white has less sugar than pink. Grapefruit is high in vitamin C. Vitamin B was found to help avoid heart problems and maybe stroke in the 70's but reportedly suppressed until recently in favor of big bucks in terms of grants to study cholesterol, where is truth? Give us the guts dear Lord to eat right always. I have said that nothing helps my condition but lots of things hurt it and I feel the hurt. My trouble starts after lunch each day because of what I eat. The evening meal may even be more in a wrong direction. If all my meals were breakfast, I may survive. Dear Lord, give me the will power to eat only those foods that I know for sure will make me strong and feel good. Sanctify my body and soul for thy service; Separate me from the cares of the world.
