Natural Diet and How to Wisely "Gift" Nutritional Assistance
Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio
"Wherever possible, the following data was collected from the USDA. ... All foods, unless
otherwise indicated, are listed in their raw form, and all calculations are based on
milligrams per one hundred grams."

Introductory Notes
Dietary assistance that avoids the ignorance and pseudo-intelligence which facilitates
starvation, malnutrition, and toxification of squirrels, and, in general, a willful
virulence bent on destroying all life.
First, let's understand the vital Calcium-to-Phosphorous ratio in foods.
Human beings have a vast array of diseases (e.g., bone density deficiencies, mineral
deposits that block brain function, circulatory clogging and calcification which creates
aneorisms, heart attacks, strokes).
Why? Because it is profitable to a cult of "medical" parasites, parading as 'experts
in health'. They are quacks related financially to the overused "Nazi doctor" metaphor.
And yet, phosphorus-intense foods, like cow's milk, requires three (3) stomaches for
a calf to digest and metabolize. In its biochemical-mineral form, especially before it
is pasteurized and corporatized, it "is made" to rob humans of calcium in order to falsely
induce a calcium-rich diet.
In other words, the "science" is manufactured (from thin air) by "magician"-marketeers
and the bankers who vault their successes as "investment profit". There's no "truth"
or "health" in that phrase, because it is not in their modus operandi. There
is separated wealth.
Neither is there any "humanity" in that same group's "medical care" nor in their "wildlife
rehabilitation" centers, just like there is njo treatment of cause" in their "hospitals".
They are PROFIT-centric, and, only incidentally, do they "do it" for LIFE... usually
only "promoting", "advertising", and/or "propagandizing" it — as a PR
(public relations) ploy — to sell life into a lifestyled substitute
which benefits life not, and them as life-vampires ONLY.
The paradox which is suppressed is that PROFIT is not the source of any
intentional "progress", but is, rather acts as a limiter upon it.
Why? Because it bankrupts, monopolizes, and otherwise "puts it out of business".
Life is NOT a business. Business is really just a busy-ness of the vampire feigning how
much they accomplish for those upon whom they must incessantly-feed. It is no more than
a frantic attempt to avoid intelligence and innovation by scarcifying possibilities,
corning the access to knowledge and materials (suppressing is more accurate), holding
any "solutions" for ransom, availing those pseudo-solutions made "on the cheap", and
by suppressing any "news" about the ill effects of their parasitic mediation in the
more-evolved way of resolving a trumped-up (and frozen-into-conflict) contradiction
between ecology and human needs.
The dysfunctionality that results and is rewarded is
an advertisement for a baneful and dying world: (1) life other than human is dismissed;
(2) life other than my family is dismissed; (3) life other than my own is dismissed.
Capital enables this dysfunctionality. The resulting psychopathic, sociopathic, and
narcissistic [sub-]humanity completes the flattening circle, and makes any kind of
three-dimensional elevation (aka "evolution") impossible.
Suffering, misery, and devastation — mutated into Capital for Hierarchy
profitable dis-eased states of life — evolve only a faster way of swallowing
[possible] life's tail — with a resolute finality — they end all by recycling
completely, the "tale of an idiot": they cannibalize themselves. after debvouring everyone
and everything else.
Each mineral's metabolization requires other minerals, as the calcium-magnesium connection
testifies, so that a magnesium intake of a certain ratio is also required. We will explore
that later on....
The goal of life (versus profit) then, for both squirrels and humans, is to avoid a
low calcium-to-phosphorous ratio.

Our Offerings to the Squirrels
A Mutually-shared Integrated Squirrel Health List
Introductory Notes
Dietary assistance that avoids the unintentional ignorance and pseudo-intelligence which
intentionally-facilitates scarcity (another term for "starvation"), malnutrition (another
term for "immiseration"), and toxification (another term for "suffering") of squirrels,
and, in general, of all life — by willful virulence bent on destroying all life —
is to think first, think totally (not just partially), and to act openly and consistently,
while observing and learning how to think and act better each cycling-up from the "flat"
circularity of redundant-and-static practice... pushing a circle upwards into a helix.
That is what an evolved and intelligent and active species does, and if it doesn't do
it for ALL species, and through the unpresumed eyes and non-forced needs of its fellow
species, then it is neither "better", "evolved", or "intelligent". Rather, it merely
demonstrates its inferiority, ignorance, and self-indulgent pomp.
Let's look at "food" then, as a source of energy that can be transferred WITHOUT mediation,
from one state to another, particularly a photosynthesized botanical state — itself
raised from a mineral and bacterial state — to a one suitable to support sentient
beings. Oh, if there's any thing more bloated than saying that humans are the only sentient,
mindful, playful, self-aware, other-conscious, and soul-possessing beings in town, then
leave it to that same human being to describe as an excuse for being as lowly as they are.
The "food" choices for one species are the "toxins" of another. That's always overlooked
by those "medical experts of overlooking", the AMA-FDA-Pharma cartel. They regularly
treat blood type history as a fiction, just as in mistreating anyone who wishes to
know biochemistry. [Note that their "training" avoids the latter like the plague they
themselves spread for profit.]
