The Living Foods
Lifestyle is based on one essential principle - Life! Life comes from life. The
life of our body is the totality of the lives of our individual cells. Lively
cells make a lively body. Healthy cells make a healthy body.
How do we cultivate
healthy cells? The principle can be summarized by the "Life and Death
Equation", namely: Better Health" equals "Life In" plus "Death Out". In other
words: Better Health is the result of putting more Life (Living Nourishment)
Into the body and taking Death (Toxic Sludge) Out of the body.
What does it mean to
put Life Into the body? This means that we provide Living Nourishment to our
cells. What is Living Nourishment? Simply speaking, it is readily digestible
food that hasn't been killed (cooked). Thus we advocate good food served and
eaten raw - like crisp colorful salads and fresh ripe fruits and their juices.
Sound appetizing? Yumm.
But what about dairy -
milk: "nature's most perfect food"? Well, if it's pasteurized (read: cooked,
dead) even a calf can't survive on it. But even in the live, uncooked state -
cow's milk and mother's milk are quite different - in fact - they are about as
different from each other as calves are from infants! Obviously, one is ideal
for baby cows and the other is ideal for baby humans.
"Yes", you might say,
"but does every food I eat have to be ideal for me?" Valid question...
Straight answer: "Well, no, not really." But, then again, remember that every
choice we make has its consequences. Now, certainly it is true that most of us
can eat almost anything that we like - and not experience any seriously harmful
effects (at least up to age fifty or so). But, on the other hand - if we knew
that making certain diet modifications could enable us to live healthy and
youthful lives - free from drugs and surgery - well into our eighties, nineties,
and beyond - wouldn't it be worth considering such modifications?
The Living Foods
program advocates a variety of fruits, vegetables, and sprouted seeds -
processed in various specific ways - blended, fermented, dehydrated, or juiced -
but not cooked. Furthermore, we recommend the use of wheatgrass juice (the
juice extracted from wheat in its grass form) as one of the most potent forms of
cleansing nourishment on the planet. All animals instinctively seek out the
healing power of grasses - even domestic pets!
What does it mean to
get Death Out of the body? This means that we seek to make our bodies
pollution-free. Any dead and/or toxic substances in the body should be
detected, neutralized, and eliminated - pronto. This requires that the body's
organs of purification be operating at peak efficiency - in particular, the
circulatory, lymphatic, and immune systems, the lungs, sweat glands, liver,
kidneys, and... last but not least, the colon.
"Ugh, do we have to
talk about the colon?" Fairly common question. Unflinching answer: "You
betcha." In fact, of all the organs in the body, perhaps the most important is
the colon. Let's face it. When the colon slows down, we get polluted and sick,
and none of our other organs, especially the brain, can work very well. If the
colon stops working completely - or God forbid, ruptures - we get dead - very
quickly. Think of it as analogous to the sewer pipe from your house. When that
clogs up - even partially - you know that you have a serious problem. Right??
Right.
So that's why we
advocate colon cleansing - enemas - colonic irrigations. Fun? No. Effective
in alleviating health problems? Definitely. Now, granted, we never want to
become dependent on enemas (there is no substitute for adequate dietary fiber)
but when the job needs to be done, we say "Do it."
One more thing - almost
nobody thinks that his or her colon is clogged. Actually, there are various
degrees of being clogged. Consider this: If my health is less than perfect,
and/or I've been eating mostly cooked (read: clogging) food all my life, it's a
pretty good bet that my colon has seen better days and my health and quality of
life might really improve if I did some internal housecleaning. Anyway, what
have I got to lose? (And wouldn't I be better off if I lost all of it?!) Today, the human race is nearing a point where
we can barely reproduce we are so unhealthy.
Here are a few reasons
why you should NOT eat cooked foods.
