New Book: The Energetics of Food
By Steve Gagné
It’s back, bigger and better than ever! The underground classic on food, health and energetic nutrition in a new updated and expanded edition.
Energetics of Food is the unique book of lost wisdom that goes beyond the conventional linear approach to nutrition—with its endless mire of calories, isolated nutritional components and politically-correct dietetics—and penetrates to the heart of food. Even though we live in a culture with sophisticated technology with seemingly unlimited resources for learning, we still don’t know how to eat or how to manage this most primary relationship. Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors and the commonsense philosophy that founded the natural healing modalities of traditional peoples the world over, Energetics of Food will change the way you perceive food and nutrition. Now you can get to know food on a deeply personal level, beyond weights and measures. Energetics of Food will show you how the foods you eat affect your life at every level. Not only will you learn the true meaning of “You are what you eat” — you'll also learn why and how you are what you eat!

Why This Site?
By Steve Gagné
The purpose of this website is to encourage you to think outside the box.
By “outside the box,” I mean to go beyond the currently accepted theories and beliefs about food, health, and human origins. I want to encourage you to think outside the box about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going!
Many people throughout the world are unsatisfied with the prevalent theories of health, nutrition, and our ancient cultural origins. This is evident from the booming sales of related publications and the massive online traffic on related websites.
Some might say such intense and rapidly growing public interest in these alternative perspectives indicates only the passing fancies and fads of those who want to believe in the preposterous, lay researchers and armchair mystery sleuths bitten by the pseudo-science bug.
To say so is naďve at best, foolishly self-deceptive at worst.
Such “alternative” points of view have been around far longer than the mere two centuries of today’s orthodox beliefs. Indeed, these same ideas have challenged the orthodox viewpoint from the moment of its inception, through inexplicable and contradicting evidence of many types. They continue to do so today.
Alternative historical viewpoints such as catastrophism, diffusionism, interventionism, and others widen the playing field currently dominated by orthodox theory with strong supportive evidence. They also change the rules of the game by entering the field with exciting and realistic possibilities rather than limitations on what is possible. When we examine all the evidence, fairly and objectively, we have no rational choice but to give these other possibilities serious consideration.
Alternative history and cultural dietary traditions are not usually linked as one unified subject, but it certainly makes sense to do so. Dietary traditions and agriculture, religious beliefs, ancient archeological sites and other cultural milestones are all integral parts of one cultural expression. They are all intimately linked by a far-reaching web that encompasses the globe and represents the very foundation and origin of humankind and civilization.
This journey has taken me around the world and hundreds of thousands of years back in time. It is the most exciting journey I know of. I invite you to join me.
