A viewer asks: “Creator in a channeling stated, “A diet high in protein is best on average for human beings to maintain health, vigor, and strength. This includes animal products high in fat because it is health promoting. To be sure, there are more calories per gram of fat than protein or other sources of nutrition, but that is not the same as categorically wanting to avoid all fat, it is a question of balance and moderation because fat is an essential nutrient in its own right and cannot be substituted for.” Creator later endorses Anthony William, the “Medical Medium” whose book somewhat contradicts what Creator said previously. Can you please explain?”

The key here is that we were talking in the abstract and the quoted channeling refers to the fact we were speaking of the average person, and by this we were meaning the average person who does not have a significant health liability of some kind, such as obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, and so on. We stand by our recommendation for the young, in particular, because they are most energetic and active and have the highest caloric demands and need to continue building new tissue because there is a higher rate of turnover. And if in the growth years, there will be heavy demands on the metabolism and the need for very nutritious foundational support. During the middle years and later, there is typically less physical activity in today’s world, with most people having a sedentary lifestyle to some degree or to a profound degree in more and more cases. The emergence in a greater percentage, of physical maladies, also creates complications and for individuals who have health challenges there is wisdom in reducing excess fat, but that is a vague characterization as well. We would say less fat than for the average human diet we described might be beneficial in promoting health for such individuals. So we do not see a huge contradiction here. There is a very wide spectrum of potential situations where dietary customization is warranted. William is addressing the needs of people with problems in a large percentage of his clientele, and he is also influenced as a human being by his knowledge base and his expectations based on his own awareness of the world and what he is exposed to in what is proposed through scientific studies, the conventional wisdom of the day, and the many messages via the media people are exposed to all the time. Even though his perceptions of his spirit source are viewed very categorically as him receiving pronouncements and then acting on those pronouncements, there is still an interplay of free will considerations that he must be open and allowing without preconceived ideas and inner beliefs in opposition to what his spirit source feels is the best assessment of a particular situation. If there is a discussion in general, this is where his personal bias can begin to constrain what his spirit source may tell him. So there is an element of influence from his personal biases to some degree in the broad dietary recommendations for the general diet. His many examples of people with physical maladies and poor functioning can be taken as an accurate assessment of what they personally need because that is provided via the divine realm as he describes. And he, himself, is quite used to seeing this customization with very specific recommendations given to individuals who might be seen as having an identical profile from the nature of their symptoms and background, but nonetheless will receive differing advice from his spirit source. So this is a good illustration of why one size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition. So we do the best we can with general questions to take a middle course. And there is some bias of yours with respect to the channeling cited, recommending meat and dairy without regard to fat content necessarily, as being good sources of nutrition. And so at the time we did this channeling, you were personally reacting to a number of studies discounting the widespread castigation of fat as a dietary evil and reviewing as well historical accounts of people living off of animal fat with a high percentage of the diet, being in good health and enjoying longevity as well. These accounts are all true, but again, they are particular circumstances of cultural settings, geographic distributions, genetic lineage characteristics, and so on. As you know, the issue of diet is one of the most complicated equations there are, because of there being so many variables.
