Beta carotene—Beta-carotene is a member of the carotenoids, which are
highly pigmented (red, orange, yellow), fat-soluble compounds. It is necessary for
the kundalini active to have a diet high in carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables
to protect against ones own internal radiation and hyper-metabolism. You can
get mixed carotenoids from sea algaes such as Dunaliella salina or spirulina. The
beta carotene in these algaes is ten times more concentrated than in carrots, and
the recommended dose of algae is 5 to 6 mg daily. Beta carotene can aid in the
prevention of arthritis, cataracts, cancer, damage from UV radiation, and macular
degeneration. Other carotenoids in foods include lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene.
Watermelon is a better source of lycopene than tomatoes. Lutein is concentrated
in kale, collard greens, spinach and other leafy green vegetables. Lutein is fully as or
even more important to health than beta carotene; we need perhaps twice as much
lutein as beta carotene to stay healthy.
Beta Carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body and stored in the liver;
then zinc mobilizes vitamin A stores when needed. While excessive Vitamin A
intake can be toxic, high doses of Beta Carotene have never been found to cause
such toxicity. The carotene in leafy greens such as spinach or kale is converted
to vitamin A about twice as efficiently as the carotene in carrots and other root
vegetables. The bioavailability of Beta Carotene from supplements is believed to be
much higher than from foods. Marigold flowers are a rich source of the carotenoid
“lutein,” which helps optimize the antioxidant health of the eyes. Lutein is one of
the two primary pigments found in high concentrations in the macula, the center
of the retina where color vision and central vision are produced. The macula is
yellow in color due to the presence of lutein and the other pigment zeaxanthin.
The body does not synthesize lutein so the eye gradually loses lutein with age.
Goji Berries (Wolfberries) contain more protein than whole wheat, more
beta-carotene than carrots and 500 times more vitamin C by weight than oranges.
Goji is the richest source of carotenoids of all known foods or plants on Earth!

B17 (laetrile)—Two of the dietary factors significantly lacking due to our
agricultural and food prep practices are B17 and Silica. Our ancestors would have
had abundant B17, however as modern humans we normally get very little. The
hunting, gathering lifestyle of the Paleolithic era was ideal for building strength
and preserving genetic information. Then about 10,000 years ago we discovered
that cooking grains, beans and roots like potatoes destroyed the toxins in them
and made them edible. Thus agriculture began, we depleted soils, breed crops for
taste and convenience and finally ended up with chemical agriculture and genetic
manipulation.
Vitamin B17 (Nitrilosides) occurs abundantly in nature but because of its bitter
taste humans have eliminated the bitter substances like B17 by selection and cross-
breeding. High concentrations of B-17 are obtained by eating the natural foods
in their raw or sprouting stage. Vitamin B-17 is readily available in the diet of
