"In my opinion, this article is one of the most important ones
we have on our website. It was origionally issued as a Newsletter over
a year ago. The research and writing of it was done for HFR by Larry Spencer.
Subsequently, it was used as part of a book titled, 'The OZ Factors' "
SECRET KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NUTRITION AND YOUR HEALTH!
Eating food is a necessity, a social pastime and a pleasurable activity
for most people. This was not always the case. The Rig-Veda, the most
ancient religious texts recorded on Earth, human beings in prehistory
did not eat food at all. People began eating food as a source of energy
much later on the time track. In that long distant past, it is written
that people who ate food were looked down upon with pity! Any being who
is in good spiritual condition should be able to create plenty of energy
to run a body without any external energy source.
In the The First Book of Moses, named Genesis(1:29-30), the Israelite
god YHWH handed down the following instruction to his people: "Behold,
I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all
the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them
for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air,
and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath
of life, I have given every green plant for food".
According to these same texts, the average age of men and women before
the Flood was more than 900 years! YHWH apparently changed his mind AFTER
the Flood and told Noah that Man could eat the flesh of animals: (Genesis
9:3-4) "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and
as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything". After that
the average age of Man dropped from 900 to only 120 years and less!
Scientific studies sighted by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond in their best-selling
book, "Fit For Life", reveal some very interesting information
about the effects of diet on health and longevity.
They report that the LA Times and Weekly World News printed articles
about a man living in China named Wu Yunging. Mr. Yungying was 142 years
old in 1980. The article includes a photo of him riding his bicycle! When
he was interviewed about his diet, he answered, "I eat corn, rice,
sweet potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables."
Dr. Alexander Leaf published the findings of his research about the
oldest people in the world in the January, 1973 edition of National Geographic
Magazine.
He found that the three most consistently disease-free and long-lived
people on Earth are the Abkhazians of Russia, the Vilacabambans of Ecuador
and the Hunzukuts of Pakistan. None of these peoples suffer from Western
diseases: NO obesity, NO cancer, NO heart disease! On the average these
people live to be over 100 years old. The men are physically active and
still fathering children at 100 years of age.
The diet of all of these people consists of 70-80 percent high-water-content
foods such as raw, uncooked fruits and vegetables. These people eat very
little or no animal products. Their lifestyle includes lots of exercise
in a chemical-free, natural environment with clean air and fresh, uncontaminated
water.
What about eating meat would reduce the life expectancy of Man so drastically?
Many people around the world do not eat meat as they believe that eating
animals for food is like killing one's brother or sister. The simple logic
is that the spirit inhabits every life form and therefore should be treated
as you yourself would like to be treated -- as a member of the family
of living beings.
THE S.A.D. DIET: DEAD FOOD = DEAD BODY
The Standard American Diet (abbreviated as "SAD") is nearly
the EXACT OPPOSITE of the diet found among the people of the planet which
live the longest, healthiest lives. The SAD diet is composed primarily
of DEAD food, i.e. processed, refined, cooked. It has literally been cooked
to DEATH. There is no LIFE left in it.
When medical doctors diagnose the health of the "Average American",
their prognosis for the treatment of the disease and your ability to recover
from the disease is based on the following statistics:
In the LIFETIME of the average American, each person will chew up and
swallow the following quantities of DEAD foods and toxic chemicals:
22500 SOFTDRINKS
12750 lbs. WHITE REFINED SUGAR
30000 CANDY BARS
37500 DOUGHNUTS
12 WHOLE 3,000 LB COWS
6 WHOLE PIGS
3,000 CHICKENS
3,000 FISH
30,000 quarts MILK
30,000 ASPIRIN & PAIN KILLERS
20,000 PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
2,000 GALLONS ALCOHOL
(Dr. Richard Schulze, Natural Healing Crusade Course, 1997)
According the John Robbins, in his video, "Diet For A New America",
the average American meat eater pours 100 pounds of ANIMAL FAT into their
veins and arteries EVERY YEAR! The average American gets very little exercise,
is 25 lbs. overweight, has high cholesterol (average level is 200) and
will have high blood pressure. Consequently, the leading cause of death
in the US is heart disease and stroke. Nearly ONE HALF of all deaths in
the US are caused by heart disease! In addition, another 20 percent, which
amounts to 500,000 Americans, die of Cancer every year! This number is
increasing.
According to Dr. Matthias Rath, Director of the Cardiovascular Research
Unit at Linus Pauling Institute, HEART DISEASE, STROKES, CANCERS, DIABETES,
LIVER DISEASE and ARTERIAL SCLEROSIS CAUSE 70 PERCENT OF ALL DEATHS IN
THE United States EVERY YEAR!
LIVING FOOD FOR LIFE
Numerous nutritional studies have demonstrated conclusively that THE BODY
WILL CURE ITSELF OF DISEASE PROVIDED THAT THE CELLS OF THE BODY ARE PROVIDED
WITH THE FOLLOWING SIX CONDITIONS:
- POSITIVE SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
- LIVING FUEL
- TOXIN-FREE WATER
- OXYGEN
- CIRCULATION TO CARRY NUTRIENTS IN THE BLOOD TO ALL PARTS OF THE BODY.
- EFFECTIVE WASTE ELIMINATION
"Living Food" is defined as any food in which the "life
force" or enzymes have not been destroyed (by heat, chemicals, radiation,
decay, freezing, refinement, etc.).
Enzymes are the "life force" in "Living Food". Every
cell of any living organism begins to die when heated to a temperature
of 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Observably, the vast majority of foods consumed
by Western Man have been COOKED TO DEATH! Since cells die at 107 degrees,
anything which has been boiled, broiled, baked, steamed or fried is dead.
This includes baked goods, pasteurized milk products, anything in a can
or bottle -- just about everything in the typical grocery store!
No animal in Nature consumes "dead" foods, that is, foods
which have been cooked or processed. None of the highly evolved species
of animals lives on inorganic (dead, lifeless) material, such as dirt
or rocks. All foods are eaten with all of the life force or enzymes intact.
In other words, raw food.
During the 1920s, an experiment was undertaken by zoo keepers in an
attempt to save money on food bills. Carnivorous zoo animals were fed
cooked meat. All of the animals who were fed cooked meat died within 30
days. In the wild, carnivorous animals prefer to eat freshly killed meat
whenever possible. Further experiments have proven that a baby cow, fed
only pasteurized milk instead of raw milk from it's mother, will die within
30 to 60 days. (John Robbins Video)
During the 1930s, Dr. Pottenger, a dentist in Washington DC, did experiments
with 600 cats, feeding one half of them processed food and the other half,
raw foods. The 300 cats who ate processed food developed degenerative
diseases such as cancer, heart disease and arthritis. The other half remained
healthy to the end of their lives. The second generation of cats eating
processed food developed the same diseases in mid-life. The third generation
developed the diseases early in life and the fourth generation were not
able to reproduce at all. The cats eating processed food literally became
extinct as a species within 4 generations!
Today, 25% of young people in America are infertile... you do the math.
(Dr. Joel Robbins lecture on "Children & The Hallelujah Diet").
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The Law of the Physical Universe is that "In order for one organism
to live, another must die". The corollary to this law is that "Live
organisms survive by consuming other live organisms". Consequently,
it can be observed that the more LIFE there is in a food, the more nutritional
benefit it contains when consumed.
Is it surprising that the vast majority of Americans -- who are heavy
meat eaters -- die of heart disease and cancer and suffer from arthritis,
gout, sinus infections, constipation, obesity, high cholesterol and high
blood pressure, to name a few? Fortunately, every cell in your body completely
replaces itself every 2 years. 98% in less than 1 year. Cells require
varying lengths of time to regenerate, for example:
BRAIN 1 YEAR
BLOOD 4 MONTHS
SKELETON 3 MONTHS
DNA 2 MONTHS
LIVER 6 WEEKS
SKIN 4 WEEKS
STOMACH LINING 5 DAYS
TASTE BUDS 6 DAYS
(Dr. George Malkmus, "You Don't Have To Be Sick" video)
In addition to this constant rebuilding reprocess, the body has a built-in,
natural defense against disease capable of preventing illness or fighting
off illness. This defensive system is called the Immune System. The Immune
System is composed of the various organs of the body which cleanse and
rid the body of toxic or harmful substances.
The human body contains about 75 TRILLION CELLS. The blood contains
a small corps of toxin fighters called "lymphocytes" or white
blood cells. These comprise only about one percent of the total body mass.
These little lymphocytes "eat" anything the body considers to
be toxic, including cancer cells. They kill cancer cells by producing
hydrogen peroxide, a form of oxygen.
Cancer cells are mutant cells. Medical physiology textbooks state that
"all cancers are caused by a failure of the immune system to destroy
mutant cells". Obviously, the workable solution for cancer is to
strengthen the immune system of the body!
In spite of this obvious simplicity, the "cancer industry"
now employs more people to "fight" cancer than the number of
people who actually have cancer! This industry generates $100 BILLION
a year in the US alone. The giant, monopolistic vested interests which
comprise the "Cancer Industry" include the drug companies that
manufacture chemotherapy drugs (a $50 Billion a year business!), American
Cancer Society (which collects $400 Million a year), The National Cancer
Institute, the AMA, the FDA, and "health insurance" companies
who falsely promote the "fight" against cancer. (Charlotte Gerson,
"The Gerson Therapy - Healing 'Incurable' Illness", Volume 1,
video taped lecture)
To date these established vested interests have not yet produced one
single workable solution to cancer. In fact, it has now been proven statistically
that cancer victims who receive NO TREATMENT AT ALL have a longer life
expectancy and higher survival rate that those treated with chemotherapy,
radiation and surgery! (Albert Earl Carter, "The Cancer Answer",
ALM Publishers, 1988)
Factually, medical doctors and alternative health care practitioners
who REALLY CAN CURE CANCER are arrested, prosecuted, thrown in jail, fined
and lose their license to practice medicine. However, all of this turmoil
seems to be of little consequence as there is a large and growing body
of documented evidence that you can prevent and rid yourself of cancer
simply by eating a diet consisting exclusively of organically grown raw
fruits and vegetables and juices.
(Dr. Lorraine Day, MD, "Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore!" Video,
Rockford Press, 1996).
MEAT BODIES ARE CARBON/OXYGEN ENGINES
It is easily demonstrated that the human body is essentially a living
carbon/oxygen engine which runs on low-temperature combustion CARBON fuel,
somewhat like any other internal-combustion engine. Like an automobile
engine, a body takes in fuel, burns the fuel and expels the unburned part
of the fuel as waste.
OXYGEN is required to be combined with the CARBON fuel in order for
the fuel to burn. If too little oxygen is mixed with the fuel, the fuel
will not burn completely. If too little fuel is mixed with the oxygen,
the fuel will not burn completely. Either way, the result is less energy
and more waste from unburned fuel -- higher exhaust emissions and lower
engine performance.
If you put the wrong kind of fuel in the gas tank, the car will not
run efficiently. Using the correct fuel for your engine will make your
automobile engine and your body "engine" run more efficiently.
The unburned waste material from the engine is expelled out the exhaust
system through the exhaust pipe. If the waste is not expelled, it backs
up into the engine, clogs everything up and the engine "dies".
The principal organs of the body's "exhaust system" includes
the lungs, skin, blood, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, intestines, colon,
lymph glands and bladder. If the body is overwhelmed by low quality fuel
or unexpelled "exhaust" from the wrong kind of fuel, the body's
engine also dies.
What is the correct "fuel" for a human body? What building
material is better for constructing a strong, durable house? Straw or
bricks? Obviously, bricks are the building material preferred by long
experience because the house built of straw is weak and decays quickly.
Living food is the brick the body uses to build a strong, durable body.
Living, organic fuel in which the living enzymes have NOT been removed
by processing or killed with heat, radiation or toxic chemicals is the
preferred building material of all life forms on Earth.
Since the human body is a living organism it must use LIVING food as
fuel. Car engines are "inorganic" or dead and can therefore
use inorganic fuel. In a human body, living fuel burns more efficiently
than DEAD food. It produces more energy and produces less "exhaust"
and higher performance.
How do you know that living food is a better fuel for the body than
dead food? Try this experiment: place a small piece of cooked meat in
a shallow dish of water. Also place a fresh, organic carrot top in a shallow
dish of water. Leave them in a room which is heated to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
for several days. You will notice that the meat will rot, putrefy and
smell very bad. The same thing happens to the meat inside your intestines!
In contrast, the carrot top, being a living organism, will sprout and
start to grow!
DO FLIES CAUSE GARBAGE?
Louis Pasteur, the eminent French chemist who invented "pasteurization",
the process of heating milk and foods in order to kill bacteria, was convinced
that 'germs cause disease'. In his early experiments with bacteria he
attempted to grow bacterial cultures on fresh fruit without success. However,
he did succeed in getting bacteria to grow in rotting soup.
A contemporary of Mr. Pasteur was a man named Antoine Beauchamps. Antoine
questioned the Pasteur theory that germs cause disease, observing that
flies do not cause garbage. Rather, that garbage attracts the flies. Further,
that if you kill the flies, the flies will return as long as the garbage
remains. So it is with the human body.
Two conditions must be true for an infection to take place in the body:
1) The body must be weakened by something OTHER THAN the bacteria.
This is obvious in that bacteria like streptococcus, tuberculosis, pneumonia,
etc., are present all around us and throughout our bodies, and yet we
are not always sick.
2) There must be "food" for the bacteria to feed on in the
body.
Healthy cell tissue, like the fresh fruit in Louis Pasteur's experiment,
offers the bacteria nothing to feed on. All bacteria are scavengers. Like
flies, bacteria eat ONLY dead, toxic, rotting or decayed tissue. Viruses,
bacteria, fungi, etc., attack the body only AFTER the body has become
weakened by accumulated "garbage".
For example, colds and fevers are NOT caused by germs. These are symptoms
of THE BODY'S EFFORT TO CLEANSE TOXINS FROM THE BODY. BACTERIA FEED ON
BODIES WHICH ARE ALREADY WEAKENED BY TOO MANY TOXINS OR MALNUTRITION WHICH
CAUSE THE BODY TO DECAY.
Factually, the prevention and cure of "disease" is not just
to "kill the flies" -- we must clean up and get rid of the garbage
in our bodies which bacteria feed on! When the body is cleaned up, our
own natural defense against disease and bacteria (the Immune System) will
be strong enough to defend our body from illness.
(At the time of Louis Pasteur's death, he admitted that he had been
wrong about his "germ theory" of disease.)
(Dr. Joel Robbins lecture on Adults, Children & Live Food Nutrition)
YOU TOO, CAN REBUILD YOUR VERY OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM IN THE COMFORT
OF YOUR OWN HOME!
Just like a car engine which has been using the wrong fuel, a human body
which has been using dead fuel for a period of time begins to "die".
Death of the body begins when the white lymphocytes or white blood cells
of the body can not get rid of the toxic waste materials left behind from
the use of dead fuel. When too many cells die, the whole body dies.
Fortunately, the body has the ability to replace every single cell with
a brand new copy of itself every year or so. Due to the continuous cell
renewal effort of the body, we can recover from disease and improve the
quality of the body - provided we are using the correct fuel and not adding
too many toxic substances into the environment of the living cells. You
can prevent illness from bacteria and degenerative diseases and rid yourself
of illness simply by changing the kind of fuel you consume. Rebuilding
healthy cells requires the following SIX conditions:
1) POSITIVE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT
Cells have feelings too. A cell is a living organism which communicates
with all other cells. It can be demonstrated that individual cells become
upset or depressed by your spiritual mood or by upsetting events in the
environment around them. When cells are upset or depressed they don't
do their jobs well.
2) LIVING FUEL
Living fuel means organic fuel. Cells need to be fed live food which contain
unheated or processed enzymes. The food must be free of toxic substances
such as pesticides, preservatives and irradiation. In order for cells
to create protein to build your body they need all 22 amino acids. They
need all the vitamins and all the trace minerals available in raw fruits
and vegetables, and ocean vegetables such as kelp and dulse. They also
need essential oils found in live food oils (nuts, olives, seeds, etc.).
3) TOXIN-FREE WATER
The body is more than 70% water. Coincidentally, raw fruits and vegetables
are also composed of 70% water. All of the cells of the body need clean
water. The water must be free from contaminates such as the poisonous
chemicals put in the municipal water systems of about one-half of US cities:
chlorine and fluoride. Both of these chemicals actually cause cancer.
Drink only distilled water from glass containers. Plastic containers may
cause a toxic chemical reaction with the water, especially when exposed
to sunlight.
4) OXYGEN
Mixing heat with oxygen and fuel causes combustion, which produces energy.
We use exercise to get oxygen into the body and get the oxygen to circulate
through the blood so that it can carry nutrition to the cells. This requires
three types of exercise: aerobic (oxygenating) exercise, strength exercises
and lymphatic stimulation.
Walking, running, stretching, deep breathing exercises and nearly every
active sport get more oxygen into the body.
5) CIRCULATION TO CARRY NUTRIENTS IN THE BLOOD TO ALL PARTS
OF THE BODY
Living fuel and oxygen provide the energy for the cells. This energy is
used to build new cells and to clean the body of toxins such as dead fuel,
waste, toxic chemicals, viruses and radiation. For the fuel and oxygen
to get to the cells, they must be carried throughout the entire body by
the blood. Physical activity gets the blood moving throughout the body.
Research indicates that using a "rebounder" supplies all of
the needs for exercise without detrimental side effects. Rebound exercise
accomplishes the following:
Gets nutrients to the cells via the blood
Improves circulation which helps take waste away from the cells for elimination
Uses gravity to help "pump" fluids through the cell walls, which
helps get nutrients into and waste out of the cells
6) WASTE ELIMINATION
The byproduct of burning fuel is waste material, like smoke and ash. Often
the fuel itself IS waste material as far as the engine in concerned. For
example, would you put sugar in the gas tank of your car? Would you pour
grease and toxic sludge into your gas tank? You don't because the engine
treats it as waste. It won't burn and so must be eliminated. Too much
waste clogs up the engine and it stops running. This principle extends
to food as well. Eating dead food forces your body to work hard to push
the waste out. This process takes a tremendous amount your energy, and
leaves you feeling sluggish.
Human bodies treat dead, toxic fuel, like cooked meat, as waste.
THE LIVE FOOD DIET AND LIFESTYLE
The Live Food Diet is not a "diet" in the traditional sense.
It is really a lifestyle change which is a program of nutrition, exercise
and detoxification through colon cleansing. The "diet" was developed
by Dr. George Malkmus as a means to rid himself of colon cancer. The program
not only rid Dr. Malkmus of a cancer tumor the size of a baseball in his
colon, but handled many other unwanted symptoms too. Since 1976 nearly
a million people have started to follow the Live Food Diet created by
Dr. Malkmus. Tens of thousands of people have provided testimonials stating
that they have been relieved of nearly every conceivable unwanted body
condition, not the least of which are cancer, heart disease, high blood
pressure, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis.
The program is simple. Consume only raw, organic, uncooked fruits and
vegetables AND freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, especially
carrot juice. Get daily exercise, fresh air and sunshine, and drink only
distilled water. Try it for 21 days and see for yourself the difference
that living fuel makes in your engine!
BUT, IT TASTES SO GOOD...
There are some of us who can have some difficulty stopping our old habits
of eating dead "junk" food. These old habits are based on learned
behavior and agreements we've been taught since we were little kids. For
example, we were taught by our parents and teachers to "eat your
meat and drink your milk so you'll grow up to be big and strong".
We were taught that "Wonderbread" builds strong bodies 12 ways!"
Factually, The Meat Industry, The Dairy Industry, The Poultry Industry,
and the Baked Goods Industry have bought and paid for most of the "nutritional"
training in our public school systems for the past 70 years or more. We
were taught about the "4 Basic Food Groups" -- of course, THREE
of those groups were products represented by those commercial vested interests.
Most of our "nutritional" education has come from very expensive
television and magazine advertisements that teach you to want to eat the
charred flesh of a dead cow smoldering on a white flour bun which has
had every speck of life and nutritional value ground and bleached out
of it which will cause your cells to mutate into cancerous tumors which
will eat your body alive until you die in excruciating pain! Now we're
supposed to follow this up with potatoes that have been frozen to death
and then boiled alive in scalding, rancid oil which will make your veins
clog up with sludge and cause you to die of an agonizingly painful heart
attack! The final touch is a glass of carbonated tap water filled with
toxic chlorine and fluorine gas which has been mixed with 11 teaspoons
or more of dead, nutrition-free, refined white sugar and artificial flavoring.
Now, they tell us with a happy, smiling clown face that we're supposed
to believe that this is a "balanced diet" and that it TASTES
GOOD!! (John Robbins, "Diet For A New America" Video)
If you're looking for somebody to blame for all this "nutritional"
nonsense, try looking in the bathroom mirror first. In the immortal words
of W.C. Fields, "there's a sucker born every minute".
It's time we stop believing the sales pitch of the multibillion dollar
a year commercial vested interests and start taking control of our own
minds! That means taking control of our own eating choices, our own bodies
and our own lives! The more healthy your body becomes, the more you will
find joy in the delightful flavor and fragrance of "living foods".
