Dr. Bill Gets On The Autobahn

Posted: March 27th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Many moons ago, perhaps three hundred or more, I was
traveling in Europe, to attend a medical conference in
Austria and because of bad weather, my plane landed in
Munich, Germany. I had to rent a car and drive quite a way
to a beautiful resort, tucked away in what may be the most
beautiful country in the world, with apologies to all those
who think their spot is tops.

The part of the drive that was on the Autobahn was fun,
because you could then, and still can, put the pedal to the
metal, and pretty much go as fast as you want. Being young
and fearless at the time, I didn’t have any trouble
rambling along at one hundred miles an hour, plus. The
driving challenge came when the Autobahn ended and I had to
drive on Austrian roads that had more curves than Brigitte
Bardot, to use a European example.

There was no such thing as a straightaway up in the
mountains, which readily defined the area I was in. To make
matters worse, I was getting the horn from drivers behind
me, who obviously thought I was a rookie at mountain
driving (which I was). In fact, these roads went from
curvy, to downright scary. After about six hours of this, I
had to take a break.

I was tired, thirsty, very hungry, somewhat lost and just a
tad irritable. I spotted an Inn and I pulled over. I walked
in, and…there was no one there, except a seventy year old
woman. I spoke to her in English, not even knowing how to
say “hello,” in the native language. She answered in German
and I walked closer to her table. I spoke a little, she
spoke a little and somehow, she deduced that I was thirsty
and hungry. She disappeared and was gone, for what seemed
like an eternity. Then, I saw her with a big platter and a
stein.

She plopped the platter down on the table and went to fill
the stein. On the platter was a giant, open-faced sandwich
with bread, butter, ham and cheese. This was no American
ham and cheese sandwich, but I was too hungry to quibble. I
started eating…and then, something close to spiritual
happened. The simple bread, butter, ham and cheese… had
been transformed into the best sandwich I had ever eaten.
The taste sensation just went on and on. I pulverized that
platter in just a few minutes and the old woman appeared
with another. I dusted that off and asked for another. By
this time, she was laughing.

I should tell you that was it, but it wasn’t. Before I was
through, I ate five platters and then I took a little nap,
right there in the chair. When I woke up, there were
several people in the place and a young man behind the bar.
He looked at me and said, “My grandmother says you eat like
an elephant!” We both laughed and I told him about the
plane, the drive, and being very hungry. I asked him how
far I had to go and the good news was that it was only a
few kilometers to the resort. I then tried to pay and he
refused my money. He said his grandmother had specified
that the “elephant’s” meal was on the house and she felt
complimented that I had eaten so much of her simple food.

Sometimes, simple just can’t be beat. I am sure that every
ingredient in that sandwich was made within a three mile
radius, with no modern equipment, of any kind. It wasn’t
hydrogenated, pasteurized, irradiated, or anything else. It
was one hundred per cent real food, without any additives,
fillers, or chemicals. If I had run a test for omega fats
in the people who lived there, the results would have been
fine. They wouldn’t have had an overload of omega-6′s, and
not enough omega-3′s, as most people today have, from
eating way too much processed food.

We pay a price for what we call progress and we pay dearly
when it comes to health, because we don’t eat like Austrian
villagers, who still do things the old fashioned way. But
we can do a few simple things to improve our health, like
blowtorching off fat. Here are some free tips how:
