Daily Journal July 16, 1998, By-William Thomas Thompson. Proverbs 3-1 "My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2-For length of days, and long life, and peace shall they add to thee.3-let not mercy and truth forsake thee:" With a good nights sleep and an early rise, I painted another of the pictures for the Hambridge Center show before leaving to drive over there. I called Jim Craft to see if he would go with me and he did from Clemson College. Highway 123 goes through Clemson 27 miles West of Greenville. I motored West past Issaquena Lane and turned left on highway 28 then right on Perimeter Road and right on Williamson at the second parking lot on the right as Jim had instructed me and called Jim on my digital car phone and he came right out of that building way over there past the chain blocking the drive. We drove to the Dillard House restaurant at Dillard by way of Seneca and the same roadblock crew as the last time in the Oconee Mountains after crossing the Seneca River coming out the back of Clemson. It may have been better traveling while the area Indians still had it before the great highway funds became available to put up all those road blocks. These Indian names interest me. So long I did not realize where such names all came from. We arrived at the Dillard House famous dinning at 2 p.m. and a table of rich unhealthy food suddenly appeared. I wanted to treat Jim to a real meal and a half at $13.00 per person including blackberry ice cream cobbler pie. I came out with heat high and immediate thirst as I do when eating one grain of sugar, not to mention other bads. After a visit to the Hambridge Center and the old corn mill by the river, we were off again back to Clemson for Jim in the art department and back to Greenville, I learn a lot from Jim, a super guy. Fill me dear Lord with thy qualities of life. The harm to me from one serving of a sweet is in a dozen ways a damaging experience from all the negatives I feel for the next 24 to 36 hours. The scratchy eyes and rapid urination and weakened physical condition making me tired and slow to think. Many say a supplement called Glucosamine Sulfate needed to compensate but I find nothing helps. Many things hurt. We are only what we eat, If we eat sweet, we will all suffer some symptoms in my opinion. The ingredients of the above are listed as vegetable fiber and vegetable strains. Why not get this from eating vegetables? Why pay $22.50 for 60 capsules? That money buys lots of organic fresh vegetables and fruits. Jim gave me the following information on sugar. "The body likes to burn sugar to make energy and store fat. The body will burn fat if starved of sugar. Fat burning is called (ketosis). It takes 3 days to get the body into ketosis mode of no sugar. It takes lots of water to fuel the burning of fat. The brain runs on sugar but natural sugar is still best that you get from bread, fruit or carrots and other carbohydrates, Just 25 grams per day runs the brain". The above information should be enough to eliminate fat in everyone that is overweight if it works and if they follow a full balanced diet void of any refined sugar and I believe have a good active routine with peace with God and man. The report on vitamin C from England is said to be short and may be incomplete. I get my vitamin C by one orange or one grapefruit per day. This has worked for me for many years to avoid colds and no telling what all else. I never take vitamin C pills at all.
