Live To Eat, Or Eat To Live?

This is a question that few folks think about. And most of these people actually live to eat, rather than eat to live. What do I mean by this? When you shop at a regular grocery store, you are nearly 100% guaranteed to end up with genetically modified foods, foods with MSG(under a wide variety of names. Check this site out for more help on this, with Soy(this is not a healthy food unless fermented), canola oil(I don't care who tells you it's healthy, or even safe. No one has been able to prove this yet, and all the evidence shows us otherwise), NutraSweet(listed under many names), and much more additives that are very toxic.

People buy food at specific stores mostly due to price. But how much money can you save? Perhaps $1,000 per year? And how much does a bout of cancer cost? Or two or three bouts of cancer? How about Alzheimers? How about Dementia? Is it worth it? Many still believe it is.

If you are one who believe that health should be a priority, and not an occasional pasttime, that you, and you alone, are responsible for your health, then perhaps this message will not be in vain. I know it's not. You are reading it. So what to do with your diet?

Raw foods are great foods. Especially when they are organically grown. I do everything possible to avoid non-organic, due to the very high probability of genetically modified organism in those foods, that have no business being there. That, and there is a high likelihood of pesticides and herbicides in non-organically grown foods. Pesticides and herbicides do what? Kill. Makes sense, if you want to reduce the population or/and keep customers for life in the medical industry, doesn't it?

Foods I eat on a regular basis include:
~Kiwi
~Banana
~Most berries
~Potatoes
~Tomatoes
~Romaine Lettuce
~Sprouts I grow

And more of course. The potatoes and tomatoes are the only ones listed above that are not always raw. As raw, organic foods though, they are superbly beneficial to your health. Potatoes are not very healthy in a cooked state.

The reasons I use the above foods, and I kept that list short to keep this blog posting from being 4 pages, is this:

Kiwis are loaded with an enormous amount of enzymes. All live foods have live enzymes. All cooked foods are devoid of enzymes. Enzymes are required for every function of the body and mind. EVERY function. If one consumes large amounts of raw foods, they will have more energy, better and more memory of dreams, have far less health problems, have a better attitude, have better vision, mobility, sex. When one obtains a health problem, the body is simply letting you know, you need to cleanse. Raw foods cleanse. And this one cleanses fairly well. Kiwis are also abundant in a large variety of nutrients.

Bananas are a good food, in a variety of ways. Although it is not a food high in potassium, as you are led to believe by the food industry. Potatoes are much higher. But they do have potassium. They have a fiber that really helps the body's regularity, they have many live enzymes, and have a moderate amount of nutrients.

Berries have some excellent healing capabilities. Or perhaps better said, would be that they help the body to heal, due to the compounds found in the berries. For instance, raspberries and strawberries have ellagic acid, which helps the brain. The American Cancer Society states that ellagic acid helps reduce cancers, and helps the liver to remove cancer causing substances from the blood. Berries are rich in enzymes, and the darker berries have the most powerful healing agents that we are aware of, out of berries in general. Berries are known to be very good cleansers of the digestive tract.

Potatoes are rich in the compound lutein, as are spinach and kale. Lutein is a an anti-oxidant known to help eye health. Raw potatoes are loaded with very beneficial enzymes, that will help keep blood sugar in better control, give added energy(do not consume just before bed or you may not sleep), helps the digestive system, helps the dreaming process, helps rheumatoid arthritis, where cooked potatoes aggravate arthritis. I highly recommend this raw food. For many, it is an acquired taste. I grew up eating them.

Tomatoes are just a superbly beneficial food. They are medically known to help reverse cancers, are a high source of vitamin C, Harvard studies show that men who consume 3 of more servings of tomatoes per week, have a 45% less risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also rich in betacarotene and lycopene. The darker the color, the most of these compound in the food.

Romaine Lettuce is one of the best, if not the best, lettuce to consume, in my opinion. This lettuce appears to have more nutrients than any other currently produced. Romaine is much higher in nearly all nutrients, between it an Iceberg.

As for sprouts, I recommend not just one sprout, but many. Alfalfa, Red Clover, Broccoli(medically known to help cancers), radish. These sprouts all contain nutrients with concentrated amounts of phytochemicals (plant compounds) that can protect us against disease. I used to eat a quart of these every day. If you choose to consume this many, bear in mind, that because all live greens will thin the blood, you may get cold with this many in a 12 hour period. This is a good site to give some added information on the immense value of sprouts.

Beating The Odds

The American Cancer Society estimates that one person dies of colorectal cancer every 9 minutes. No surprise really, due to the American diet. Colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer in men and third in women.

Ways to help prevent colon cancer include refusing red meat. Why? Because meat in general is very acidic, and red meat is higher in acidic nature than fish, chicken or turkey.

Red meat, unless verifiably organic, also is loaded with chemicals and hormones given to the cattle. But don't get the idea that fish, chicken and turkey are free of these chemicals. Organically grown should be, commercially grown never are free of them.

Chemicals are sprayed on, to help prevent flies and related critters, injected to give as anti-biotics and as hormone enhancers. Plus, these animals are generally eating foods grown on contaminated soil, and then sprayed with more contaminants. Chemicals are never healthy for any living creature.

Four steps you can take to improve your colonic health are:

1. Get more fiber in the diet. Natural fiber direct out of raw foods is best, but supplements will do. Just be sure if you take this in capsule form, they do not have magnesium stearate, or stearic acid as part of the capsule or fiber formula. Very harmful to the health.

2. High quality oils, such as Coconut, Olive, Fish, Flax and Borage are essential for protecting your colon from cancer, and other abnormalities. Several studies have shown that the more fish oil you consume, the better your chance of staying cancer free.

However, be aware that some fish oils have added vitamin A. Too much vitamin A will be a problem, if taken for long. The body can overdose on direct vitamin A. However, it cannot overdose on beta-carotenes, or any carotenes. The body creates the vitamin A from the carotenes as needed.

Too much vitamin A will cause liver toxicity, and a general feeling of disease. Just be aware..

3. Taking probiotics are very helpful, to keep the beneficial bacteria populated in the colon, and to help keep the harmful bacteria in check. Harmful bacteria includes candida, which is always in your digestive tract.

4. Getting enough enzymes is crucial to your digestive health, in fact, your health in general. Any food you consume should also include live enzymes. Canned and cooked foods do not have live enzymes. Enyzmes include Protease, Lipase, Amylase, Lactase, Cellulase, and Invertase.

Vegetarian foods generally help the body keep cancer away, and help if you do have cancer. For instance, Lutein and Zeaxanthin, pigments found in spinach, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots, have been shown to reduce colon cancer. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000)

In 2004, the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, at the UCLA Center For Human Nutrition, found the protective effects of Calcium and vitamin D work(when taken together) to offer some serious protection against colon cancers.

This has been said before in my blogs, but it bears repeating. You should have a minimum of 2 bowel movements per day, and 3 is preferable, to help maintain good health. Considering colon cancer starts in the digestive system, and the digestive system comprises roughly 80% of our immune system, does this not make extremely good sense?

Infectious Disease Expert Talks On Swine Flu Vaccinations

As has been indicated in a prior posting, I'm not the only one who understands that the swine flu propaganda is just that; propaganda. Watch this video to see what one of the U.S. leading experts tells us about his recommendations.

Another video on the swine flu......

Some helpful information to help prevent the onset or duration of any flu, is to eat plenty of, and preferably organic, raw produce. Raw produce has bio-available nutrients never found in processed foods. Plus it also has live enzymes, never seen in packaged products. Herbs and therapeutic quality aromatherapy is very potent natural medicine. Certain essential oils have the capability to kill all harmful organisms and without the adverse side effects pharmaceutical drugs have.

I have done the research on flu of all kinds. The swine flu is less of a danger than, as a rule, most other flu bugs. Why? Because it is SWINE FLU. If you don't understand that, consider this.......what happens if you attempt to mate a dog with a rat? Do oil and water mix? This is not a bug that is natural in our species. Yes, mutations happen. And much of the reason mutations happen, is because we put the chemical drugs into our bodies, which allow these sets of mutations to take place.

Considering the drug company that got a patent on the current swine flu did so a full year before the swine flu supposedly started being noticed, has to say something to us, doesn't it? Every disease specialist I have come across has said that under no circumstances would they EVER use the swine flu vaccination. Just something for you to consider. I do what I can to heal people. I'm busy enough. I don't need the drug cartels help in gaining new cases of new diseases that would never have existed prior to this vaccine. The public manages to get enough of them on their own. I'm trying to help keep you as healthy as possible. In other words, avoid that vaccine, and all vaccines, like the plague. They are.

Raw or Cooked Foods?

Raw foods are, without question, by far the best you can eat. Which is not to say you have to eat only raw. The more raw food you can consume compared to cooked though, will only help you. It will help you in more ways than you might imagine.

For instance, eating a fair amount of raw foods can help you dream more, and remember them. Raw food consumption will almost unquestionably give you more energy and endurance. Raw foods will give you better thinking capability. And perhaps most importantly, raw foods will give your body the tools it needs to help prevent illness of most kinds.

I say most kinds, because there are other factors involved, such as chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, etc. They will all hurt your health. Pharmaceutical drugs for instance, are known to be fairly common at giving brain fog, losing mental capacity including memory, creating new diseases, and more. Those drugs are nothing more than chemicals in pills or shots.

Some great health aids you can use, which have been mentioned before on this blog, include Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Chlorella, Goji Berry(also called Lycium or Wolfberry), and many others.

When you consume mostly cooked foods, you are missing some of life's greatest gifts, such as many of the B vitamins, vitamin C, all enzymes, and more. For someone to tell a vegetarian they do not get enough vitamin B12 simply because they are not eating meat is a lack of knowledge.

Eating meat, unless it is close to raw, will not have B12. Like many vitamins, this one is destroyed at temperatures generally used to cook the meat. Vegetarians who know what they are doing seldom are lacking for these vitamins. They generally have more than others who are not vegetarian.

If you know someone who may benefit from reading my posts, please send them this way. I am very appreciative that you have taken the time to read my writings. May your day be sunny and cheerful, and your heart be filled with gratitude.
