What you eat, drink, breathe, or put on your skin becomes your food or your
poison. Our physical bodies were ideally designed to consume raw foods.
Everything else, from toxic chemicals, minerals, metals, and the like, are
considered foreign pathogens that inflame, stimulate, irritate or kill cells.
It’s your body and you have to use it while you stay on this planet. If
you feed and clean it correctly, it will give you great service, beyond your
wildest dreams. Destroy it, and it will chain and bind you to this world in
ways that you can’t imagine. Remember, if no animal cooks its food before
eating it, then why do we?
Tradition is killing us. Just because something becomes “tradition”
doesn’t mean it’s true and the right thing to do. Cooked foods are dead foods
—their chemistry has been changed (sometimes radically) and their energy
destroyed. Many of the alkaline-forming foods now become acid-forming.
Their enzymes are destroyed, leaving the burden of digestion entirely up to
the body itself. This stresses the GI tract, pancreas and liver. It robs vital
systemic energy from the body just to digest and eliminate these foods.
Health is energy, which brings vitality and robustness. This can only be
achieved through raw, ripe, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
I personally recommend a 100 percent raw food diet. However, since this
type of diet will detoxify you very quickly, highly toxic individuals who
presently use a lot of chemical medications are advised to go about this
transition more slowly. Even so, everyone with cancer, or spinal and
neurological issues, should rapidly move toward consuming a diet of 100
percent raw foods. Fruits are the best regenerators of brain and nerve tissue,
and for removing cancer from the body.
A diet of 80 percent raw and 20 percent cooked food will still rebuild
you and clean you out, to a certain level. However, you will eventually reach
a point where you might need to detoxify even more deeply. This is
especially true in regenerating genetic weaknesses. The most important thing
to remember is to keep yourself alkalized. The more acid-forming foods you
consume, the more acidic you become. Consequently, your success in healing
and regeneration will be very low, causing you to keep searching—reading
book after book, going to doctor after doctor, and spending lots of your
hard-earned money seeking the Fountain of Youth. But you will never find it.
Ponce DeLeon never found it, and he missed the fact that his horse was
feeding on it the whole time.
Cooking, heating, frying, and processing your foods causes radical
