Becoming Torah Observant - Hebrew Roots/Nutrition Studies

The group we studied Creationism with was made up of two other couples from our church who were homeschoolers and into natural foods and herbal remedies.  One couple had been sharing with us about Hebrew Roots as well.  They shared some materials with us, but we weren't ready to hear it.  We did, however, begin to see the logic in not eating pork and shellfish and other creeping things as commanded in Leviticus 11, "This is the law regarding the animal and bird, and every living thing that lives in the waters, and everything that swarms on the earth, to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten."  Dr. Jordan Rubin, on page 38 of The Maker's Diet, said, "'By-products that originate from digesting such scavenger meat are highly poisonous.  We're referring specifically to the so-called death enzymes, such as cadaverine, putrescene...these death enzymes are extraordinarily useful in nature.  Without their assistance no flesh would revert to dust...they are extremely useful to break down a corpse, but terribly inconvenient in a living human body.'"  After reading this and the rest of the book, we began to conclude that there is, after all, a reason why God told us not to eat such things!  Maybe we needed to investigate the rest of the "laws" further.  We were also being shown by the LORD that our mindset was Greek, not Hebrew, and this is evident in our US government schools (the subjects taught and how they are taught), our government buildings (Hellenistic architecture) and our churches (we separate families from each other to teach them, we talk about obedience but do very little of it, and we think we can redeem things by mixing them into our worship).
