electrolytes at a very fast pace. This is just another reason to consume as
many raw alkaline fruits and vegetables as possible.


Foreign proteins from meats, dairy products, grains, eggs, and the like,
are abrasive to the mucosa of the body. This causes a lymphatic (mucous)
response that can cause excessive mucus to build up within the tissues and
cavities of the body. This mucus build-up, with the trapped proteins, fills
interstitial areas as well as lymph nodes, sinus cavities, brain, lungs, etc.
Pimples, boils and tumors are expressions of this congestion or toxic build-
up. Some of the final digestive stages of protein-matter result in the
production of uric acid. Uric acid is abrasive and irritating, which inflames
and damages tissues. Uric acid deposits can create arthritis in the joints and
muscle tissue. Uric acid causes gout. The more flesh protein you put into
your body the more you work your immune system, and the more you invite
the parasitic “kingdom” to grow inside of you. Many parasites (including
many viruses, bacteria, and some “big boys” such as worms and flukes) feed
on wastes from flesh-protein digestion.


Eating meat causes body odor from the rotting (putrefying) flesh within
us. Meat can become impacted on the intestinal walls causing our mucosa and
intestinal lining to decay along with the meat. It is important to note that
putrefaction changes proteins into toxic chemical by-products. Fruits and
vegetables, on the other hand, do not cause body odor.


Proteins are acid-forming, which can create inflammation and can cause
tissue breakdown —the opposite reason to why we are supposed to eat them.
I’m not saying to avoid proteins— just to be warned about quantities and
certain types. Diets rich in nuts, vegetables and fruits yield a very strong and
healthy body, supplying plenty of amino acids.


The body cannot use “flesh-type proteins” (grouped amino acids) until it
breaks them down into simple amino acids first. This process starts in the
stomach where gastric juices of HCL (hydrochloric acid) convert pepsinogen
into pepsin. Pepsin starts to break down these protein structures into
peptones/polypeptides. This is an acidic process. After the stomach moves
this “pre-digested” process into the duodenum (small bowel), the proteolytic
enzymes in the pancreas (which are alkaline) start changing the polypeptides
into peptides. Finally, as these peptides are moving along the small intestines,
your intestinal wall secretes enzymes (peptidase), which finally convert these
peptides/peptones into amino acids. This extensive process robs the body of
vital energy, only to achieve “secondhand” building materials.
