Water and
organic substances are the inert matter used by salts (ions) in building and
maintaining the cells of the body. The actions of cell salts inspire fluids, cells and tissues to respond,
causing polarization or depolarization. This leads to the building (anabolism)
and/or tearing down (catabolism) of cells. Plants take up elemental minerals
and metals like calcium, sodium and sulfur from the earth through their root
systems. Then, through plant physiology (mainly by photosynthesis) they
convert these basic elements into salts so that the human body can absorb
them and use them. BASIC TISSUE SALTS

Phytochemicals 
“Phyto” means “plant.” Phytochemicals refer to the thousands of compounds
naturally contained within plants and fruits. This module will list and explain
some of these, but keep in mind that this is only a partial list. New ones are
being found every day, as humans will forever be discovering God. The chemistry of food is somewhat complex when you realize that many
compounds work synergistically, while many biotransmute (change) into
other constituents and simpler compounds. Most people focus mainly on the
vitamin and mineral content of a food, ignoring this long list of other
properties and elements that are just as vital to the health of the body. Plant amino acids are more energetic and easy for your body to break
down and use, which is why raw foodists who eat a balanced variety of
fruits, vegetables and nuts are never deficient in amino acids necessary for
health. Meat, on the other hand, requires a more radical and energy-robbing
digestive process to obtain the amino acids that comprise it. The other
important factor here is that meat protein leaves an acid reaction in the body
creating more acidosis, whereas vegetables leave an alkaline reaction in your
body curing acidosis. Your body requires live foods, full of phytochemicals,
to make it alive. Some phytochemicals are noteworthy for their antioxidant properties,
other phytochemicals are valuable as astringents. Because of the importance
of these two properties in detoxification we will look at them a bit more
closely. PHYTOCHEMICAL ANTIOXIDANTS
 
Antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, chlorogenic acid, gamma-
terpinenes, quercetin, lutein, proanthosyanidins, rutin, hesperidin, vitamin A
and vitamin E (tocopherols), to name a few. These agents protect cells from highly oxidative free radicals. Free
radicals are highly reactive and destructive compounds, which are by-
products of metabolism, radiation therapy, tissue infractions, chemicals and
foreign protein ingestion. Oxidative free radicals can damage cell membrane
walls, cellular mitochondria and cellular proteins. This affects energy
transport and the DNA itself, leading to cellular mutations. Free radicals also
destroy enzymes, the key to all chemistry changes. Many vitamins act ascoenzymes and antioxidants, attaching themselves 
to, or absorbing, free
radicals. Proanthocyanidins are a popular form of antioxidant. They are
found in fruits, especially grapes and grape seeds. These antioxidants are now
sold in stores worldwide under the name of pycnogenol. Other antioxidants
are also available in supplemental form from health food stores. These
include vitamin A, vitamin E, CoQ10 and beta-carotene. After thirty years of clinical observation, it is my opinion that obtaining
your antioxidants from your raw, unprocessed foods is far superior to buying
extracted, nonsynergistic types. This is because antioxidants work with
astringent and other biochemical properties in a synergistic manner, which
increases their effectiveness. One needs many antioxidants to achieve vitality,
and each one plays a major role in the process. PHYTOCHEMICAL ASTRINGENTS
 
Astringents pull and constrict tissue, pulling toxicity and congestion (mucus)
out. At the same time these foods stimulate the lymphatic and blood flow
within the body, allowing the body to get rid of these toxins and mucus. Some astringents can release trapped, foreign proteins, bind them together
and then carry them away to be eliminated. The lemon is one of the best
examples of a highly astringent food. You can feel the membranes in your
mouth pucker or constrict when you eat them. This astringent action takes
place throughout the body. Grapes have a similar action. Both are excellent
tumor busters. In other words, foods high in astringents (namely fruits) begin
detoxification—the process of internal cleansing of the body. Tannic acid and various mineral salts, including zinc oxide, are the most
common astringent elements in foods. Eat your foods ripe, fresh and raw,
and you will not need to worry about their chemistry, only their power to
clean and heal. Eating foods that are biologically suited for our species keeps us clean
and healthy inside. Only then can we become vital and dynamic. Never
underestimate the power of fruits to clean and sustain you. (Remember, it all
started with the apple.) Food has always been one of the main focuses for
humans, as it is for all animals. I quote an old naturopath, Hippocrates, “Let
your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”OTHER PHYTOCHEMICAL COM-POUNDS IN PLANTS
 
Acids
Acids are compounds that are low in pH, and corrosive and inflammatory to
your body. However, they serve a vital purpose in oxidation and ionization
of other nutrients and minerals within the body. They have a stimulating
effect upon cells and tissues. There are hundreds of acids. Many play a role in
protein, carbohydrate and fat synthesis. Acids react with metals to form salts,
which help to maintain body homeostasis. Acids liberate hydrogen ions
causing metabolic changes and utilization issues, much the same way that
ascorbic acid affects calcium and its utilization. Acids come in the form of
basic elements like nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. When the root of a plant
takes in these basic elements, the plant transmutes these basic elements into
salts which then can be accepted by the human intestinal tract. Other plant
acids are found as alkaloids, ascorbic acid, and many other compounds. Some hormones, steroids and digestive enzymes act as acids in your body. Estrogen is an “acid-type” of a steroid, which dilates the capillaries and
creates bleeding in the uterus. As you can see, acids initiate change and
activity. They are also the byproducts of digestion and metabolism. An acid
we’re all familiar with is phosphoric acid, which is what makes soda pop
burn your mouth when you drink it. Alcohols (see Essential Oils)
Alkaloids
Alkaloids are alkaline substances that react with acids to form salts. Some
alkaloids include morphine and nicotine. However, there are many others,
each with a vital role within the physiological and metabolic functions of the
body. Some alkaloids suppress tissue functions while others stimulate it. Bitter Principles
These are compounds that are bitter to the taste. They are stimulating to
hepatic (liver), intestinal, as well as pancreatic tissue. They aid the secretion of
digestive enzymes as well as bile and bicarbonate for alkalization. They
include the terpenes, cotters and iridoids. Recent research has discovered that
many bitter principles have antibiotic, antifungal and anti-tumor activities.Gentian Root, Valerian Root and Golden Seal Root are examples of herbs
with high amounts of bitter principles. Coumarins
These constituents tend to fall under the aromatic category. They have anti-
clotting effects in low dosages and are used as a poison in high dosages. Coumarin glycosides are very fragrant and have shown to have antifungal,
anti-microbial, anti-tumor and hemorrhagic effects. Essential Oils
All foods and plant life have their essential oils, also called volatile oils or
essences. These are concentrated compounds comprised of organic
substances including alcohols, ketones, phenols, acids, ethers, esters,
aldehydes and oxides. Essential oils give the aroma to a plant, flower or food. They play a vital role in the health of your nervous system. Essential oil
therapy offers the individual tremendous power when used properly. There
are essential oils for just about everything, including lymph movement,
sweating, proliferaters (healers) and diuretics. Some essential oils include,
Rosewood, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Rose, and Clary Sage. Flavones
Also known as flavonoids, flavonals, flavonones, isoflavones and xanthones. Many flavones such as flavonoid glycosides are vital to calcium and vitamin
C utilization. Bioflavonoids are co-factors in strengthening tissue, especially
cardio- and vascular tissue. They include rutin, hesperidin and vitamin P.
Fruits and vegetables have abundant flavones. Many antioxidants such as
anthocyanidins and anthocyanins are related to flavonoids. These factors in
foods strengthen the heart, brain, vascular walls and promote immune
response. Also see: Phenols. Fruits and especially berries (Hawthorn, Saw
Palmetto, blueberry, and others) are high in flavones. Glycosides
Glycosides are bonded sugars, which can be broken down into one or more
sugars (glycones). Even though glycosides are not considered a major
classification of phytochemicals— as are alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids,
carbohydrates, lipids, etc.—they bind with these major groups to formtherapeutic actions. Some are anti-spasmodic, others act as diuretics, and still
others affect circulation and heart action (cardiac glycosides). Phenols
Phenols are also known as polyphenols, phenolic compounds and acids. They have an aromatic ring and have one or more hydroxyl groups. There
are over eight thousand recognized phenols. They are generally broken down
into flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, anthones, stilbenoids and quinones. Their
actions within plants and human tissues vary greatly. They serve as:
antioxidants, anti-viral compounds, anti-inflammatory compounds, anti-
carcinogens, anti-spasmodics and diuretics, and have anti-microbial and tonic
qualities. Salts
Salts are the inorganic compounds of your body. They play a vital role in the
function of cells and are vital for life to exist. The primary salts include
chlorides, carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates and sulfates. Plants are full of
various mineral salts such as calcium phosphate, sodium chloride, and others. Their roles in the human body include:
maintenance of proper water levels
maintenance of osmotic pressure conditions for proper osmosis
regulation of blood volume
keeping the acid/alkaline (base) balanced
the bases for essential components or constituents of various tissues, like
bones and teeth
proper coagulation of blood
essential to the performance of nerve and muscle tissue
acting as co-enzyme factors and activators
effecting cellular transport and cell wall permeability
essential to certain hormone functions
Saponins
These compounds have several actions in your body. They are considered
anti-inflammatory and have expectorant actions. They are also part of the
synthesis of adrenal gland steroids. Licorice Root and Devils Claw are herbs
that have high amounts of saponins.Tannins (Tannic acid)
Tannins are generally protective substances found in the outer and sometimes
inner parts of a plant, tree, flower or fruit. Especially found in the leaves,
bark, seeds and flowers. Tannins act as astringents, having cleaning, shrinking and drawing
effects upon tissue. They are considered a protective device for a plant against
herbivores. Tannins are made up of simple and complex phenols,
polyphenols and flavonoid compounds. These compounds are held together
by carbohydrate structures and contain variations of gallic acid. Their main
action is to bind and precipitate proteins. Tannins are common in fruits,
various herbs (teas), grass and many plants. These types of foods are used to
clean and strengthen various types of tissues within your body. However,
moderate dosages of these aggressive substances are recommended because
of their strong astringent effect. Tannins are used to clean and mature leather. Terpenoids (Isoprenoids)
Terpenoids form the largest group of plant constituents and are particularly
found in volatile oils. They are natural products and compounds consisting of
oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. Terpenoids are derived from isoprene units
and are subdivided according to the number of carbon atoms and their
arrangements. Terpenoids are categorized into four basic groups:
1
. Monoterpenoids/monoterpenoid lactones
2
. Sesquiterpenoids/sesquiterpenoids lactones
3
. Diterpenoids
4
. Triterpenoids (largest group)
The above classes and related classes include camphor, caro tens (beta-
carotene), xanthophylls, carotenoids, terpenes, tetraterpenes, diterpenoids,
iridoids, isoprenoids, prenols, retinoids, sesterterpenoids and steroids. If they
contain nitrogen in their structure they become respective alkaloids. Terpenoids have a multitude of functions including functional oxidation, anti-
inflammation, strengthening (tonic effects), hepatic stimulation, and catabolic
and anabolic processes. They contribute to the aroma, bitter principles,
antimicrobial (antifungal, antibacterial, etc. ), antileukemic, carminative and
adaptogenic properties of a plant. They also include properties to strengthen
the heart and increase sex hormones. Terpenoids are vital in the formation of
many vitamins.MODULE 3.8
pH Factors of Foods
 
This section was written for those who want to have a greater understanding
of why I recommend raw fruits and vegetables. This information becomes
particularly vital if you’re concerned about strokes or blood clotting. Knowing the meaning of alkaline and acid, and their effects upon tissue, will
help you achieve vibrant health. The pH factor
 is the measure of a chemical solution’s acidity versus its
alkalinity, on a scale of 0 (more acidic) to 14 (more alkaline). I recommend
that you buy litmus (pH) papers, and use them to test your body’s pH factor
on a daily basis. This will help you observe firsthand the reactions that foods
have on your body’s chemistry, since the primary thesis of this book is that
alkalization is the key to tissue regeneration
. To further understand the pH factors of foods and their relationship to
health, let’s back up a little and examine the very basics of life. This will
involve a little chemistry and physics, but will help you to better understand
the nature of things, including the processes of the body and the foods that
you eat. First, everything in this universe is made from building materials. The
basic building materials of this universe are atoms, whereas the basic building
blocks of cells are amino acids. At first, an atom appears as a simple structure
—a nucleus (or center), made up of a proton, which is positively charged,
and, orbiting magnetically around this nucleus, a negatively-charged electron. The number of electrons and protons that an element has will determine the
type of element that it is. Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, etc., are the
basic elements and building materials of life. Water, for example, without
which life could not exist, is simply two hydrogen atoms combined with one
oxygen atom (H
2
0). Creation consists of opposites, and the movement of these opposites in
relationship to each other creates electromagnetic energy. Magnetism is where
opposites attract and likes repel. (If you have ever played with two or more
magnets, you know what fun it can be to move magnets with magnets, and
attract various materials to them.) Whether you know it or not, you too are
like a magnet, attracted to the opposite of yourself. This “magnetism” helps
you learn, and brings a balance to your experience in life.Life in creation is controlled and expressed by two opposite forces, either
positive or negative in nature. This type of polarization is essential for
creation to exist. Without opposites like night and day, up and down, short or
tall, everything would be the same—God undifferentiated. Creation depends
upon these opposites to exist. You see this in your own life, as you have days
that you call “good” or positive, and other days that you consider “bad” or
negative. Yet, both of these aspects of life are essential to your experience of
growth and awareness. An element can start out negatively charged, which is called alkaline,
creating a cationic reaction (cationic means to disperse or break apart). Through the process of ionization (chemical magnetism) the same element
can become positively charged or anionic (acidic). Anionic means to
compound, saturate, or come together. An example of such a change from
negative (alkaline) to positive (acid) can occur with the element calcium. Plant
calcium is alkaline, and works with magnesium, sodium and potassium to
alkalize the fluids of the body. These elements are called electrolytes. However, once in the bloodstream, they can become ionized— or attracted to
—other elements, magnetically, joining with these other elements and creating
an anionic or acidic complex. This is seen where calcium joins with
phosphorus to create calcium phosphate to form or rebuild bones, and is a
positive effect. However, this process can happen with free radicals, like
oxalates, which can then form calcium oxalate stones. This type of anionic
reaction causes inflammation and tissue damage. It is very important to
understand the meaning of acid and alkaline and their effect upon tissue, as
this will give you an overview of disease. ACIDS AND ALKALIES
 
Acids are chemical compounds that always have hydrogen as part of their
make up. They have the ability to supply positively-charged hydrogen ions in
a chemical reaction. The degree of acidity is determined by the number of
hydrogen ions in the solution. Acids give protons to a substance creating a
“bonding” effect, as in bone or stone formation. Alkalies, or what we call “bases” in chemistry, are negatively charged and are
attracted to protons. Alkalies neutralize acids
. An example of this would be
the toxic acids created from digestion (e.g., sulfuric acid and phosphoric
acids), which are converted to non-toxic salts when combined with alkalineelectrolytes. These non-toxic salts are then passed from the body through the
kidneys. This neutralizing effect is vital because of the highly toxic and
damaging effects these acids have upon the tissues of your body. The pH balance—
the balance of alkalies to acids
—within the body is vital,
and should be approximately 80 percent alkaline to 20 percent acidic. If we
become too acidic from diet and lifestyle, we create too much of an anionic
condition in the body, causing stone formation and inflammation. To reverse
this is to alkalize, which is cationic and anti-inflammatory. This will break
apart and liquefy calcium deposits, cellulite and lipid stones. These deposits
can form or accumulate anywhere in the body, especially in the liver,
gallbladder and kidneys. This alkalization and neutralization of acids requires
the alkaline electrolytes. If you’re not eating a diet rich in raw fruits and
vegetables, you’re not getting enough of these vital electrolytes
. This
compounds the over-acid condition within the body and creates dehydration. acids and alkalies
Acids burn and inflame tissues causing tissue failure. Alkalies are cool and are anti-inflammatory to tissues. Acids can destroy tissues (cells). Alkalies can heal tissues. In an acid medium, nutrients become anionic (coagulate). In an alkaline medium, nutrients become cationic (disperse). Acidosis creates bonding of fats, minerals, and other constituents creating
stones of all types, including liver, gallbladder and kidney stones. It also
creates the adhesion of blood cells and platelets. All this causes cellular
starvation (through lack of nutrient utilization), strokes, and the like. Acidosis and congestion (toxicity and mucus) is the root cause of 99.9%
of all diseases. Some foods (carbohydrates) require alkaline digestive juices to be broken
down; others (protein) require gastric acid juices. ABOUT CATALYSTS
 
Nothing truly stands still. Creation is always in a state of flux. Atoms are
always moving and 
changing. The question that should be asked is: “What
makes things change?” First we could say our emotions, our desires, our likesand dislikes, even the primal need or desire of God to create. You could call
this the original seed or desire of creation. Secondly, you could say the mind, except the mind itself uses the past
and present to create the future. One must think of something before he can
experience or create it in this physical world. It is obvious that these two
“bodies” (mind and emotions) of yours are the main creators of your
experience. Without thought and emotions your physical body wouldn’t
know where to go or what to do. But what about the physical body? What occurs at the physical level to
move, react, respond, grow, expand or decay something? The term we use in
chemistry is “catalyst.” A catalyst is a vehicle, a transporter and an igniter. This is an element that changes elements, compounds or complexes into other
elements, compounds or complexes. You could say that parasites are a
catalyst as they take dying cells, putrid matter, and break these down into
basic elements or compounds. Again, other elemental catalysts include
enzymes (digestive, systemic, etc. ), vitamins, minerals, oxygen and
hydrogen, to name a few. Let’s look at hydrogen, which is simply one proton at the nucleus and
one orbiting electron. If this hydrogen atom comes into contact with another
atom that pulls its electron away, the result is a hydrogen atom without an
electron, which is now called a hydrogen ion. This creates more magnetic
potential (or activity), which creates an acid. An acid would give you a sour
taste in your mouth. Compounds that combine with protons are called alkalies
(or bases) and are, of course, 
alkaline
. These atoms have an extra electron. An alkali is sweet tasting. One could say that protons influence acids, and
electrons influence alkalies. The result of this process of tearing down and coming together
(oxidation and ionization) should result in homeostasis—balance within the
system. Homeostasis is achieved when the body is more alkaline than
acid
. When this balance (or homeostasis) is upset, from toxicity and
predominately acid food eating (acidosis), tissues (organs, glands, etc.) fail to
do their jobs properly. Thus, disease is the result. OXIDATION AND IONIZATION
 
Knowing about oxidation and ionization will help you to further understandthe alkaline (cationic) and acid (anionic) processes in the body. Alkalization
is the key to tissue regeneration
, so understanding these processes is
essential for you in the achievement of vibrant health. Oxidation and ionization are just two of the ways that encourage the
breaking down and the building up, or changing, of matter from one form
into another. Your bones are a great example of this as they are always being
broken down and rebuilt to some degree. “Breakdown” and “buildup” keep
life ever renewing itself, allowing for creation to eternally expand. Oxidation is the process whereby elements combine with oxygen. In this
combining, electrons get kicked out of the orbit of an atom’s nucleus, and
this increases the positive or proton valence. Oxidation can be either
beneficial to the body, assisting alkalization, or it can create free radicals,
causing destruction to cells. This is most evident in acidosis where
inflammation is present. A Superoxide radical is formed when oxygen
compounds have not been completely broken down or utilized properly
because of the inflammatory (acidosis) condition. This causes further cellular
damage or destruction. These oxygen compounds are less likely to be broken down properly
when we are low on antioxidants or our immune system is underactive
(hypoactive). When this breakdown and utilization of oxygen compounds is
poorly functioning, free radicals are created, and without proper ionization or
neutralization these free radicals join 
in creating more tissue damage. This is
why there is so much current interest in antioxidants—like vitamin E, vitamin
C, beta-carotene, pycnogenol, COQ10—and why they are such a hot
commodity in the health market today. Antioxidants are attracted to free
radicals —bond with them and neutralize their damaging effects. Oxidation leads to ionization, or the transmutation of elements or
compounds into simple ions. Water is one of the greatest catalysts for
oxidation. You see this in action when water combines with metals to create
rust. In our blood serum this oxidation creates electrolytes, which are
conductors of energy. Ionization creates both positive and negative ions. Ions are your catalysts,
like enzymes, which create action and reaction, or building and destroying. Positive ions are sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, which are
called cations. Negative ions include chloride, sulfates, phosphates and
carbonates, and are called anions. It can become confusing, understanding
how calcium, as we discussed earlier, can be alkaline at first, then charged orionized and become acidic. However, nature must take an element and
dispense it through the body, then make it useable. Calcium must first be
dispersible in blood serum. Then it has to combine with other elements and
become a building material. Too much ionized calcium will cause stone
formation, bone spurs, and the like. Excessive ionized calcium must be
converted back by alkalization/oxidation to its original electrolyte form, or be
converted into a salt for easy elimination. ANABOLISM AND CATABOLISM
 
The body uses what you eat to create new tissue, or to break down (or
change) existing tissue. You can begin to see through ingestion and digestion
that the body takes more complex compounds and elements, and breaks them
down into their simplest forms. Cells have very small pores that only allow
simple structures to enter. Simple constituents become the catalysts of life,
creating action and reaction throughout your body and the universe. This is
true biological transmutation, or God changing itself, creating the new and
destroying the old. Alkalies create 
anabolism
—the building, rebuilding, growing and creating
aspects of life. (This cannot take place without catabolism). Acids create 
catabolism
—the tearing down, breaking apart, and the
destroying aspects of nature. (This cannot take place without anabolism). Alkalinity disperses, moves and cleans the body; whereas acids
coagulate, form masses and stagnate the body
. As stated earlier,
alkalization is the key to regeneration. The more anionic you become, the
more acidic you become, causing acidosis. Acidosis causes malnutrition,
inflammation, stone formation, pain, electrolyte depletion (dehydration),
swelling, convulsions and death. On the other hand, most fruits, vegetables
and herbs are alkaline-forming. Nature seems to favor alkaline (cationic)solutions
. If your diet consists of 80 percent raw fruits and vegetables, and
20 percent nuts, seeds and cooked vegetables, you will experience
tremendous health. If your diet consists of 100 percent raw fruits, vegetables,
nuts and seeds you will experience incredible vitality and robust health. MODULE 3.9
The Energy of Food
 
People today tend to focus a great deal of attention on the chemistry (or
composition) of foods, especially vitamins and minerals, while mainly
ignoring other properties, like astringent properties, antioxidants, tissue salts
and the like. Even less do we think about the energy of a food, which is a
reflection of the food’s total chemistry. Orthomolecular supplementation (vitamins and minerals) never cures. The power (or energy) of individual constituents can never match that of a
whole food complex. In nature all things work together and with clockwork
precision. When you separate the nutrition in food, and only give back
certain constituents, you miss the synergistic properties of the whole
. This
causes a loss of proper utilization. Calcium, for example, needs phosphorus,
magnesium, the flavinoid complexes, B complex, etc., to be properly utilized. If you take calcium tablets alone, you can’t get this synergistic action. If you
get calcium from nature, from raw foods, you get the whole deal—
constituents and all. We just can’t compete with nature. Separated constituents, like vitamins and minerals, can increase your
energy levels somewhat and in some cases make your symptoms disappear,
only to return when you stop using them. An example of this, again, is
calcium. Many people experience weak, brittle and/or ridged fingernails. They start taking a calcium supplement or gelatin and their nails will become
hard again. However, as soon as they stop taking the calcium, their nails
return to the weakened state. Your fingernails will give you clues about the
condition of your bones or skeletal structure. You did not fix the “cause” of
the problem, which is, in nine out of ten cases, a 
calcium utilization
problem
, not a deficiency problem. Calcium is very abundant even in our
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet). However, we are destroying its utilization
potential through cooking and processing. You must fix the utilizationproblem, and the bottom line of food utilization is energy and proper
endocrine gland function. “Are the foods you are eating full of energy, or have you destroyed the
energy and nutrition in your food by cooking or altering it in some way?”
This is the number one question to ask yourself. The higher the energy a food
has, the greater healing ability it has. This is why fructose and glucose are
essential. These simple sugars are one of the most important factors in
encouraging cells to regenerate. If I am consulting with a cancer patient, do I want to take away their
energy, or give them energy? If I take more of their energy away they will
die. Chemotherapy or radiation spreads (metastasizes) cancer as it destroys
cells and weakens the body. This greatly lowers one’s energy level, making
one vulnerable to parasites and death. The brain and nervous system cells are the highest energy centers in your
body. Neurons require more energy than a typical cell. Understanding which
foods have the highest energy is vital to your regeneration. The success I
have witnessed with neurological weaknesses and injuries at our clinic is well
known. We have seen spinal cord severations, even years after the injury,
reconnect neurologically. CONSCIOUSNESS AND FOOD
 
Energy is another word that can be used to describe awareness or
consciousness. All life has an awareness or consciousness to it, at one level or
another. Just because you cannot talk 
to plants or animals does not mean they
do not have awareness. Some individuals have developed the ability to
communicate with other forms of life. Foods also have an awareness or
consciousness to them. Each type of food has its own unique individuality
and reason for existing. God does not create something for no reason. In
healing and regeneration we find this helpful to understand. We noted that the brain and nervous centers of the body contain the
highest energetic or electrical tissues we have. We find that fruits have the
highest electrical energy of all the foods. Volt-ohm meters and
electromagnetic meters can measure this energy. My own clinical studies have
shown that fruits will regenerate brain and nerve tissue, whereas vegetables
will not. I have found that, as a rule, 
fruits are brain and nerve foods
 aswell as the 
cleaners of tissue. Vegetables are the builders, which are suited
for muscle and skeletal tissue. Nuts and seeds are structural foods and
are strengthening to the body as a whole
. Let’s examine the electromagnetic energy of foods to further understand
which foods are key to your regeneration and your vitality. Electromagnetic
energy is rated in units called angstroms. The higher the quantity of
angstroms a food gives off, the higher the energy of the food. When you eat
foods picked fresh from nature, and eat them without cooking or processing
them, the high electromagnetic energy of that food is transferred to your
body and its cells. This is true with chemistry as well. Chemical compounds and structures
are broken down by digestion, and the individual components or elements are
then absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. From there
they 
are carried to the liver and to individual cells for energy or restructuring,
and the remaining byproducts are then excreted. There is a process called
biological transmutation, where the body transforms one energy source into
another. This process is not understood well in the health or medical fields. We are just beginning to see more of the picture from quantum physics. It is
enough to say that through chemical (oxidation), parasitic, and enzyme
action, life is constantly being transformed. According to physics, energy is
always being changed—never created or destroyed. The previous chart will
give you some idea of the electrical output of various foods. angstroms and Energy

 The importance of the information in this previous chart will become
clear when you understand that as homosapiens we need at least 6000 to
7000 angstroms of systemic energy at all times to even begin to smile, no less
to be happy and healthy. According to Christopher Bird in his book 
The
Secret Life of Plants
 (see bibliography), at approximately 4500 to 5200
angstroms, you are more susceptible to cancer or other seriously degenerative
issues. Fruits and vegetables that are frozen when fresh will resume the same
level of radiation (electromagnetic energy) when defrosted. Refrigerated
foods will slowly deteriorate. Bananas are one of the few, if only, fruits that
increase in nutrition and sugars, and consequently in electromagnetic energy,
after they have been picked unripe. One of the laws of physics in this universe is the law of balance—
homeostasis. The lower the energy of the food you eat, the lower your
systemic energy becomes. This creates hypoac-tive or underactive tissues. The more energetic the foods are that you eat, the more vibrant and
healthy you become
. As we increase the energy of the physical body, we lift
ourselves up out of despair and disease. This opens the senses to a whole new
world of understanding and health. The vitality you can achieve is
indescribable; it can only be experienced. The body is a tremendous machine; fully aware of itself, with self-healing
and cleaning mechanisms already built in. The body can get so healthy that
you don’t even realize that you are using it. No aches, no pains, no
weaknesses, only pure energy. If you wish to experience this pure energy
you must consume pure energy. It’s that simple. Have vitality, have
dynamic energy, have fun … go raw! If you’re green on the inside, you’re on the inside. — Dr. Bernard Jensen
 
MODULE 3.10
Whole, Living Foods
 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 radicalchanges in their chemistry and electromagnetic energy. These changes render
food into poison or toxin that your body must fight against instead of using
for energy and rebuilding. ATTITUDE IS CRUCIAL
 
Health should be fun and challenging, not a chore. You are rebuilding
yourself to become new again. As you build self-discipline, it will be much
easier for you to become whole and alive. Don’t settle for less than robust
health. Change yourself. Expand yourself. Keep it simple. And don’t allow
anyone to stop you. Become free of all disease. Today, health must be earned. There is no magical pill, and there never
will be. What chemical could clean, alkalize and rebuild tissue? Your body
doesn’t even like to have a wood splinter in it, let alone toxic chemicals. Sometimes we need to change our attitudes about things. Our attitudes
are our roadblocks in life. They are similar to belief systems; both can limit
your ability to experience truth. If you want to be healthy you must eat
healthy, live healthy, breathe healthy, think healthy and know yourself as
healthy. (You may want to think about that one.) “Knowing” is far more
powerful than thinking. To know is simply to see truth for what it is. Knowing does not require thought. Thought is a process of interaction that
leaves room for limitation and failure. When one is critically ill, a knowing of
Wellness is the most powerful force he or she can grab to start healing. Have fun on your journey into health and spirituality. These are the
greatest adventures you can pursue. Summary
 
I spent the first three years in my naturopathic clinic using science via
chemistry to seek a homeostasis, or chemical and biochemical balance, for the
human body. I used tissue (cell) salts, vitamins, minerals and glandulars to try
to achieve this. It wasn’t until I studied the work of Dr. Royal Lee, of
Standard Process Laboratories, that I realized the importance of synergistic
elements and molecules. I realized that nature works together and in harmony
with itself. It doesn’t oppose itself.I understood that the tremendous vitality I felt from my years of eating
raw food was due to the 
totality
 of a food and its electromagnetic energies,
not its separated chemistry. This is when I switched to botanicals (herbs). I
have been using them now for over twenty-five years. I use them as
detoxifiers, not for “treatment.” Together with an organic, live food diet,
herbs are the simple answers to robust health and vitality. We explored in Chapter One the difference between detoxification and
treatment, explaining that treatment deals with symptom-alleviation but not
necessarily with the underlying cause of disease. It is time for us to break out
of our treatment mentality and open up to the world of detoxification. Detoxification does not “treat” the symptoms (of the problem), nor does it
treat from “deficiency” concepts; if it treats or addresses anything, it treats the
root cause of the symptom(s). Detoxification takes into consideration
alkalization, homeostasis, enhancement, revitalization, regeneration and
cleansing. Eating your foods whole, fresh and raw, whereby the chemistry
and energy is unchanged by human intervention, is the golden key that
unlocks the door to health and vitality. When you heat your foods you radically change their chemistry, creating
acrylamides and other carcinogenic substances. This is especially true when
using higher temperatures (frying, pasteurizing, canning, processing). The
energy and nature of the foods you eat can make you vital or sick. The nature
or vibration of a particular food creates reflex energy waves throughout your
body. This can have a positive or negative effect upon your body’s system
and cells. The healthier you become, you will experience this. Simply by
putting a food in your mouth, or even just touching or smelling a food, you
can feel your body’s response. I’ve seen the lymph system produce excessive
mucus (or go into shock), just from smelling a harmful food or substance. Rather than choosing foods that you 
think
 your body needs, your body itself
will 
indicate
 what it needs by what it is attracted to eat from among the many
fresh raw foods that are available. Detoxification is a system, not a treatment. It is a science that
encompasses chemistry and how chemistry interacts with itself. It also
encompasses physics and the energies of the universe and how your body is a
part of the whole. It also encompasses God and how your spirituality, your
mind and your emotions play an instrumental role in the functioning of your
physical body. Detoxification is the simple answer to curing disease and unhappiness. It
cleans you out, and uplifts and reconnects you to God and 
nature. It rids yourbody of acidosis, toxins, chemicals, mucus and harmful parasites. It rids the
mind of unwanted thoughts and cleans the angers and emotions from your
being. With all our scientific sophistication we have not even come close to
making a supplement that replaces food. Chemistry, physics and physiology
prove over and over again that fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are perfect
foods for humans. They carry and support life in every way. Ninety-nine
percent of the vertebrate species require and feed on these food sources. Why
should we be any different? You can see in reviewing this chapter that there
are literally hundreds of different constituents found in your foods. They
have an incredibly broad range of effects that are most essential to life and the
function of cells within your body. If you wish to supplement your diet because your food is devitalized,
then take a superfood complex. (The food industry has literally ruined many
foods by picking them before they are ripe; and has compromised the soil,
and thus the nutritional value of the food grown in that soil, in order to raise
animals for slaughter.) A superfood complex is a supplement that is made
from the whole food itself—generally the best that nature offers, nutritionally
speaking. This means that you are getting the complete list of constituents
needed for life to grow and maintain itself. Supplementing with manufactured
supplements can throw your body’s chemistry out of balance and affect
proper utilization and ionization factors needed for proper metabolism. Keep your life simple. If you relax and truly investigate and experiment
on yourself, you will discover the truth. Detoxification is the golden key. Use
it to open the door to the kingdom of true vitality and God, and to experience
a disease-free life. us

CHAPTER FOUR
Toxic Habits
M
any concepts related to health and well being are erroneous. They have been
passed down through our families and taught in our schools out of ignorance,
or programmed into us deliberately via television and other media to sell
products. The “Drink Milk for Calcium” myth is one of the biggest. The
Protein Myth is equally huge. We have become a society of high-protein
eaters mainly through the efforts of the industries that sell animal and grain
products. It is natural for anyone in business to develop slogans about their
products to help sell them. However, when these industries cross the line and
start advertising half-truths or untruths, then we have fraud and
misrepresentation. These “untruths” damage the health of millions of people
every year. This misleading advertising is abundantly true of pharmaceutical
companies as well. Over-the-counter and prescription drugs kill hundreds of
thousands of people each year according to 
The Washington Post,
 and many
other sources. This chapter will examine several deadly myths that relate to food, the
myth of vaccinations against disease, and the myth of reliance on chemical
poisons. It will conclude with information that will help you to protect
yourself from some of the negative influences in your environment, including
a reference list of Poison Control Centers in the United States. When we make choices based on habit rather than from our alignment
with the forces of nature, these habits can create toxic conditions within our
bodies that result in serious illness or death. When we choose a level of
imagined health or hygiene over environmental balance, we create farther-
reaching toxic habits—patterns that can affect the health of our planet and all
its inhabitants. MODULE 4.1
The Problem with Milk and Other Dairy Food
 Cow’s Milk is for
 Cows. There is nothing bad about drinking milk from the
time you first open your eyes at birth until you are two years of age. That is,
provided the milk is from your mother, and is therefore fresh, raw and
natural. Ideally, mother would be on a high-energy and highly-nutritional,
raw food diet, before and during pregnancy. However, in our culture we tend
not to breast-feed our children. Most of us were weaned on cow’s milk or
synthetic formulas, which are almost twenty times more concentrated than
cow’s milk. Cow’s milk tends to be high in proteins, minerals and fats—a necessity
for baby cows that will grow to 300-500 pounds in one year. Needless to say,
human babies do not grow that fast. Cow’s milk has at least four times as
much protein and over six times as much mineral content as human milk. Such heavily concentrated milk is extremely hard for infants to digest. Human enzyme production for handling milk products is much less than a
cow’s enzyme production. Without proper enzymes in the right quantity,
human babies suffer digestive problems and mucus congestion in the sinus
cavities, lungs, brain and ears. Many types of allergies are also created from
the excessive congestion that started with cow-milk consumption. Adults cannot digest milk at all and develop deeper congestive problems
as they get older. Cow’s milk is also low in essential fatty acids, which are
vital to humans in the production of systemic cholesterol, steroids, brain and
nerve tissue, etc. Raw cow’s milk is more for skeletal/ muscular growth,
where human milk feeds brain and nerve growth. This is one of the main
differences between frugivores and herbivores. Roughly between ages three and four most children lose the enzymes that
digest milk, especially lactase, which breaks down lactose— the main sugar in
milk. This is because, biologically, we are supposed to be weaned after three
or four years. Since we lack the proper digestive enzymes to break down
milk, we get an increased mucus production. Milk now becomes highly
irritating to the mucosa of the GI tract, which causes even more mucus. This
mucus mixed with starch can cause a heavy mucoid plaque to build up on the
intestinal walls. Remember John Wayne? He was reported to have died with up to fifty
pounds of impacted fecal matter in his bowels. Such im-pactions cause
inflammation, pocketing (diverticulum), and tissue weakness of the intestinal
wall. This leads to bowel restrictions, ulcerations, lesions and cancers. Several
years ago, the now former U. S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, M.D.,
told the world: “Dairy products are bad for you.”FROM ALKALINE TO ACID
 
Now, on top of all this, we cook (pasteurize) cow’s milk. Heat changes the
chemistry of the milk, as well as changing its nature from alkaline-forming to
acid-forming. In chemistry, if we want to change a chemical compound, we
add heat. Heating or cooking also destroys any water-soluble vitamins,
especially the vitamin C and B-complexes. It saturates the fats and binds
certain proteins to minerals, as well as binding minerals to minerals. What
happens to a baby calf if you feed it pasteurized milk instead of its fresh, raw
mother’s milk? It dies. CONGESTION DECREASES UTILIZATION
 
Colds, flu, mumps or any lymphatic or respiratory condition can be largely
attributed to congestion from dairy products. Dairy products are highly
mucus-forming and constipating. When you have a cold or respiratory
problem, where do you think that clear, yellow, green, brown or black mucus
originally comes from? Where do tumors come from? Or lymph node
swelling, especially swelling of the tonsils? The thyroid and parathyroid glands are located in the throat. They also
get congested with the mucus formed from dairy products, creating hyper- or
especially hypo-conditions of these tissues. The thyroid/parathyroid gland is
responsible for calcium utilization by the body. When these glands begin to
fail from the mucus congestion, toxins and inflammation that dairy products
create, your calcium utilization begins to fail—which is the opposite result for
why you consume these products in the first place. When a lack of calcium
utilization at the cellular level begins, a host of conditions including
depression, bone and tissue weaknesses, nerve and muscular weakness, and
connective tissue weakness can also begin. All are side effects from mucus
congestion that has built up in our tissues from the use of dairy products. Calcium is an abundant mineral. The highest concentration of usable
calcium is found in sesame seeds and sea vegetables like kelp. Calcium needs
magnesium to be properly utilized. In fruits, and especially in vegetables,
calcium and magnesium are compatible. Dark green leafy vegetables are full
of calcium, magnesium and flavonoids, all of which need each other for
proper utilization. In cow’s milk, however, you have a lot more calcium thanmagnesium. This adds to the lack of utilization of calcium in milk. It has been
estimated that less than 20 percent of calcium in milk is utilized. We utilize
more calcium from fruit juice than we do from milk. When milk is cooked, the minerals become ionized, changing its effect
from alkaline to acidic. This can create stone formation, muscular weakness,
GI tract inflammation, and other conditions. The truth of this can be seen in
that many people who drink milk and take extra doses of calcium through
supplementation are still getting osteoporosis. We must begin to think of
utilization
 within the body 
rather than supplementation. High doses of
calcium are not the answer, proper utilization is. The thyroid/parathyroid and the adrenal glands are mostly responsible
for calcium utilization within the body. I have found that when these glands
are healthy, the body is strong where calcium issues are concerned. If you
clean and regenerate these glands, your calcium utilization will be greatly
enhanced. Use the Basal Temperature Test (found in 
Chapter 10
) to study and
check your thyroid function. Check your blood pressure to determine your
adrenal weaknesses. Remember, if your systolic is under 118 you always
have adrenal weakness. PARASITES
 
Parasites are another result of milk drinking. Estimates are that 60 percent or
more of American dairy cows have one or more of the following: the
leukemia virus, salmonella and the tuberculosis virus. Furthermore, as milk
and dairy products are the most mucus-forming of all the foods we consume,
and refined sugar is the second most, both of these foods will cause excessive
congestion to build up all through our tissues. Yeast, fungi and worms love
to feed and thrive in this congestion. This causes Candida albicans and other
infectious conditions. After observing thousands of cancer clients, I am
convinced that milk and dairy products (even colostrum) cause and increase
tumor growth and lymphatic congestion. Many congestive (tumor) type
cancers, in my opinion, are initially started through the consumption of these
types of foods. DIABETES
 Many studies have linked pasteurized milk consumption to diabetes. The
antibodies produced to fight these altered, harmful, milk proteins also attack
the beta cells in the pancreas. The beta cells are in the islets of Langerhans in
the pancreas and their job is to secrete insulin. BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE
 
Another major problem we see in milk is the effects from rBGH—or
recombinant bovine growth hormone. The Monsanto Corporation created this
bovine growth hormone from the E-coli bacteria. This growth hormone was
initially created to increase milk production. Some studies have shown this
growth hormone (rBGH) to be a carcinogen. In many studies it has been
shown to proliferate (increase) the growth of cancer. I personally feel it
stimulates the endocrine gland system, especially the thyroid and adrenal
glands. This affects our growth, other developmental factors, and hormone
balance. As a society we are faced with these massive hormonal imbalances
that are destroying our health and our economy. Learn the truth about the foods you consume. Don’t be dissuaded by the
media and other influences within our capitalistic society where money has
become more important than human welfare. It is vital that you detoxify your
body of all the built-up congestion from the many years of eating mucus-
forming foods. INTESTINAL FLORA
 
Many health-conscious people today take aci-dophilus with lactobacillus, and
the like. Why? If you do not consume dairy products, why would you need
to supplement with these products? These are bacteria that are involved in the
breakdown of milk proteins and milk sugars. They can also be found in the
body where toxemia (toxins) from dairy products are formed, e.g., in saliva,
in the lymphatic system, in the vagina, etc. It is more important to your health
to clean these toxins and the bacteria that feeds upon them out of your body
entirely. It is also questionable whether these bacterial supplements survive
the gastric acids, as it is. It is not difficult to establish intestinal flora. You can’t keep bacteria outof your body. This is pure nature. Bacteria are feeders, cleaning and feeding
upon your wastes, the by-products of digestion and metabolism. Remember,
your intestinal flora changes with your diet. Success is 
nothing more than a refined study of the obvious. — Jim Rohn, success philosopher
 
MODULE 4.2
Proteins—The Whole Truth
 
Look back to Module 3. 3 in the previous chapter for an introduction to the
subject of protein and how it is metabolized. As you may recall, “protein” is a
word meaning a “structure.” Like a house, it’s already built. It has form to it,
like muscle tissue. However, like a house, it is built 
from
 various types of
building materials. Protein structures are built from building materials called
amino acids. Amino acids therefore are the building materials that your body
requires and uses for building (growth), maintaining, and repairing itself. It
also uses proteins (amino acids) for immune factors, transporters, and cat-
abolic factors. A protein is also a general word for the total nitrogenous
substances of animal or vegetable matter, exclusive of the so-called
nitrogenous fats. Proteins, or the total nitrogenous (nitrogen-based) substance of a food,
consist of a variety of chemical compounds of two main types: proteids and
non-proteids. Examples of proteids, both simple and complex, are
albuminoids, globulins, proteases, peptones, glutinoids, etc. Examples of
non-proteids, or simple compounds, would include creatine, creatinine,
xanthine, hy-poxanthine, amides and amino acids. The human body requires numerous amino acids, and these are divided
into two groups. First, are the essential amino acids, of which there are
eleven. These are said to be mandatory for proper growth and repair. (Personally I do not agree with this conclusion as I have seen people with
extreme cases of neurological weakness, repair and rebuild themselves solely
on fruits.) Secondly, there are many nonessential amino acids the body also
uses. The list at the right will show you both groups.Protein structures also include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus,
sulfur and iron. As you can see, then, the word “protein” is actually an
arbitrary word giving a “structure” to building materials. Protein is actually an
arbitrary word that is assigned to any building material that the body needs. However, its factual definition is that of a completed structure, like tissue
itself. Amino Acids

CAN WE USE THE PROTEIN? Digestion is necessary because the body can only use simple amino acids—
the kinds that are found abundantly in vegetables and nuts. The liver can also
produce its own amino acids and can synthesize even smaller nitrogen-
containing compounds. The proteins found in meat must be broken down
(hydrolyzed) into simple amino acids before the body can truly use them. I
call meat “second-hand protein” because of the extensive digestion process
needed to break down the “building” into simple “building blocks” or amino
acids. Fruits, vegetables and nuts are much simpler for the body to break
down, as these are basic amino-acid structures. It has been proven that a
vegetable diet supplies more available nitrogen than a meat diet. It is important to understand that nutrients act differently in an anionic
(acid) environment versus a cationic (alkaline) environment. Amino acids
become free agents for growth, maintenance and repair in an alkaline or
cationic environment. In an anionic (acidic) environment they tend to bind
with minerals, metals and fats, causing further toxic conditions in the body. This creates a loss of available amino acids, starving your body for building
materials. You can eat all the proteins you want; however, your body cannot
rebuild itself properly without proper bio-availability of amino acids. “Bulk” type muscles, put on by high protein diets, will be lost during
detoxification, as these are “stacked” amino acids not necessary to normal
body functions. When protein breaks down, it creates sulfuric and
phosphoric acids, which are highly toxic and damaging to tissue. It burns up
our electrolytes to convert these acids into salts (ionization), thus neutralizing
their damaging effects. Carbohydrates and fats create lactic and acetic acids,
which require the same process, but are not as damaging. This is why we
must replenish our electrolytes daily.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Water and
organic substances are the inert matter used by salts (ions) in building and
maintaining the cells of the body. The actions of cell salts inspire fluids, cells and tissues to respond,
causing polarization or depolarization. This leads to the building (anabolism)
and/or tearing down (catabolism) of cells. Plants take up elemental minerals
and metals like calcium, sodium and sulfur from the earth through their root
systems. Then, through plant physiology (mainly by photosynthesis) they
convert these basic elements into salts so that the human body can absorb
them and use them. BASIC TISSUE SALTS
